McGuinty Government To Strengthen Protection For Ontario's Species At Risk
Proposed Legislation Among Strongest In North America TORONTO, March 20 - The McGuinty government is introducing proposed legislation that, if passed, would make Ontario a North American leader in species at risk protection and recovery, Natural Resources Minister David Ramsay announced today. "The proposed legislation we are introducing today sets a gold standard for protection and recovery of species at risk and represents a new era of natural heritage protection in Ontario," said Ramsay. "By working to reverse the rate of species decline in our province, we will ensure that future generations of Ontarians benefit from a healthier and diverse natural environment." More effective legislation is just one component of a comprehensive, three-part approach to species at risk protection announced today that also includes the programs and policies to implement the new legislation, and support for public stewardship initiatives. "We are proposing a comprehensive, three-part approach to provide an improved legislative framework for species and habitat protection, and also encourage greater stewardship involvement from landowners, resource users and conservation organizations," said Ramsay. "We further propose to back up our commitment to greater stewardship with funding of $18 million over four years to promote stewardship activities protecting essential habitat and green space." Ontario is home to more than 30,000 species - all important to the biological, social and economic vitality of the province. At present, more than 175 of these species are identified as being at risk, which means they may disappear from the province if their rate of decline continues. If passed by the Legislature, the proposed Endangered Species Act, 2007 would: - Broaden the scope of Ontario's existing Endangered Species Act and strengthen protection and recovery measures - Provide greater accountability to the public and demonstrate clear results - Include the necessary provisions to support protection within the context of sustainable development. The Ontario government consulted extensively with the public, Aboriginal organizations and a wide range of stakeholder groups before drafting the legislation. These groups included land developers, environmentalists, rural communities, fish and wildlife enthusiasts, municipalities and resource industry sectors. "This is the first time since the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1971 that our laws protecting species at risk have undergone a thorough review," said Ramsay. "We asked Aboriginal representatives, our partners, stakeholders, the Endangered Species Act Review Advisory Panel and the Ontario public for their views and they have indicated strong support for better species at risk legislation. We thank those who have provided input." The proposed legislation is just one way the McGuinty government is protecting Ontario's natural heritage. Other initiatives include: - Launching Ontario's Biodiversity Strategy - Protecting 1.8 million acres of greenspace in the Greenbelt, providing a safe habitat for 66 species at risk - Working with an alliance of organizations through the Natural Spaces program to develop the tools, incentives and on-the-ground activities that will encourage and support private landowners in conserving natural areas on their land.

Disponible en français ontario.ca/mnr rom.on.ca/ontario/risk.php Backgrounder ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ONTARIO INTRODUCES PROPOSED ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, 2007 Contact Info BACKGROUND In May 2006, the Ontario government launched an extensive review of the Endangered Species Act with the goal of updating and strengthening the legislation that protects the province's native species at risk and their habitats. The Ontario government consulted extensively with the public, Aboriginal Organizations and a wide range of stakeholder groups - including land developers, environmentalists, rural communities, fish and wildlife enthusiasts, municipalities and resource industry sectors. Based on the findings of this review, the government is introducing proposed legislation that would replace the outdated Endangered Species Act and significantly expand protection for the province's species at risk. The proposed Endangered Species Act, 2007 would, if passed, be among the strongest such legislation in North America. More effective legislation is just one of three components of an updated, comprehensive approach to protection and recovery of species at risk in Ontario. The other two components are: - Programs and policies to implement the new legislation - Enhanced stewardship programs. HIGHLIGHTS OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION Compared to the existing Endangered Species Act, the proposed legislation provides broader protection provisions for species at risk and their habitats, enhanced support for volunteer participation from private landowners and partners, a greater commitment to recovery of species and more effective enforcement provisions. The significantly improved provisions in the legislation include: - A clear role for science in determining the status of species at risk - Stronger protection measures for species at risk and their habitats - A balance between protection measures and flexibility to accommodate other land use considerations, and recognition that such flexibility can sometimes help achieve the desired outcome of protection and recovery. - Greater transparency through public reporting requirements - Effective enforcement measures - Recognition of Aboriginal and treaty rights protected under the Constitution Act, in addition to a commitment to ongoing dialogue with Aboriginal peoples as the new legislation is implemented - The creation of a stewardship program for the purpose of promoting stewardship and other related activities to assist in the protection and recovery of species at risk. More information about the proposed species at risk legislation is available on the ministry's website at www.ontario.ca/speciesatrisk. ONTARIO'S SPECIES AT RISK Ontario is home to more than 30,000 species of which more than 175 are considered to be at risk. Species may become at risk due to small or declining numbers and limited distributions in combination with other factors such as habitat loss, pollution, competition from invasive species and over-harvesting. Ontario classifies species at risk into the following categories: - Extinct - no longer lives anywhere in the world - Extirpated - lives somewhere in the world, lived at one time in Ontario, but no longer lives in the wild in Ontario - Endangered - lives in the wild in Ontario, but is facing imminent extinction or extirpation - Threatened - lives in the wild in Ontario, is not endangered, but is likely to become endangered if steps are not taken to address factors that appear to be leading to its extinction or extirpation - Special Concern - lives in the wild in Ontario, is not endangered or threatened, but may become threatened or endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. More information about Ontario's species at risk is available at the species at risk website produced in partnership between the ministry and the Royal Ontario Museum www.rom.on.ca/ontario/risk.php. Contact: Debbie Ramsay Biodiversity Section 416-314-1819 Disponible en français ontario.ca/mnr Backgrounder ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT FOR ONTARIO'S PROPOSED ENDANGERED SPECIES LEGISLATION "Conservation Ontario commends the Government of Ontario for undertaking a review of the Endangered Species Act which will result in improved protection for species at risk. The Province led a very inclusive consultation process during the review and the Conservation Authorities were pleased to participate." Richard Hibma, Chair of Conservation Ontario. "The new Endangered Species Act is a significant step forward for Ontarians and the natural heritage we all value so highly. This new legislation will provide an inclusive, science-based and effective framework within which to balance different environmental and economic priorities." Dr. Rick Smith, Executive Director, Environmental Defence "Our panel recommended a science-based, proactive approach to the protection and recovery of species at risk and we are pleased that our advice has been accepted. The new program will ensure that the needs of species are the first priority in listing, habitat protection and recovery." Justina C. Ray, Ph.D., Director, Wildlife Conservation Society Canada and Adjunct Professor, University of Toronto's Faculty of Forestry. "This new legislation brings Ontario's protection for endangered plants and animals into the 21st century. The package of incentives and programs will ensure that private landowners, who are responsible for the majority of rare habitats, are valued partners in the delivery of endangered species protection." Wendy Francis, Director of Conservation and Science, Ontario Nature "We are delighted that the Ontario government's new species at risk legislation proposed today includes greater recognition and support for the essential role private land stewardship plays in protecting and restoring important natural habitats such as wetlands." Ron Maher, Manager Provincial Operations (Ontario), Ducks Unlimited Canada "We congratulate the government for acting on its commitment to update and expand Ontario's existing species at risk legislation. If passed, this milestone legislation will provide support to private landowners and conservation groups for stewardship activities and provide stronger protection for our native species at risk to help ensure they have the habitat they need to thrive." James Duncan, Acting Regional Vice President, Ontario, of the Nature Conservancy of Canada "OSSGA is pleased that the new Endangered Species Act provides mechanisms that will permit balanced decisions around the responsible extraction of essential materials, while at the same time deliver overall benefits for endangered and threatened species." Ken Lucyshyn, Chairman of the Board, Ontario Stone, Sand & Gravel Association "Forward-looking jurisdictions around the world have set a standard for endangered species legislation that includes habitat protection measures and Ontario's revised Endangered Species Act (ESA) meets this standard. WWF-Canada works with leading industry partners and we believe the ESA supports collaborative conservation efforts to protect biodiversity, such as through Forest Stewardship Council certification." Tony Iacobelli, Director, Forest and Freshwater program, WWF-Canada "This endangered species legislation is compatible with corporate social responsibility and is a cornerstone for any progressive society hoping to halt extinction of species including the spotted turtle and woodland caribou. Protecting endangered species through effective legislation is the last line of defense and is only necessary if we have failed to ensure the survival of species through more proactive measures such as adequate land use planning or socially responsible industrial management regimes such as the international Forest Stewardship Certification for forestry." Janet Sumner, Executive Director, CPAWS Wildlands League Disponible en français ontario.ca/mnr Fact Sheet ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROTECTING ONTARIO'S SPECIES AT RISK Ontario is home to more than 30,000 species - all important to the biological, social and economic vitality of the province. At present, more than 175 of these species are identified as being at risk, which means they may disappear from the province if their rate of decline continues. The following is a sample of species currently protected under Ontario legislation. ATLANTIC SALMON The Atlantic salmon is the only salmon native to Ontario. Abundant at the time of European settlement in the early 1700s, the population began to decline by the mid-1800s as land was cleared, water quality declined and dams blocked fish passage. In spite of various hatchery stockings, which began in 1866, the last Atlantic salmon was removed from the Lake Ontario basin before 1900. As a top predator, the Atlantic salmon had a key ecological role in maintaining a healthy native fish community. It was also an important source of food for both native peoples and early settlers. As such, this species is a significant part of the natural and cultural heritage of the Lake Ontario basin. Restoring the Atlantic salmon would be a significant milestone towards improving Ontario's biodiversity. The Ministry of Natural Resources is setting direction for a salmon restoration program with a number of partners, including the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, LCBO and Australia's Banrock Station wine company. Other partners and sponsors committed to the project include the Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association, Trout Unlimited Canada, Fleming College, Trees Ontario Foundation, Fishing Forever Foundation and local conservation authorities and community groups. This long-term process is expected to take 15 to 20 years. PEREGRINE FALCON The peregrine falcon is a fast-flying raptor with long, pointed wings; a long narrow tail; quick, powerful wing beats, and a distinctive dark facial mask including heavy dark "sideburns." Adults are slate-gray on the back, with a light-coloured barred breast. Younger birds are brown with a heavily streaked breast. In the wild, peregrine falcons nest on high, steep cliff edges near lakes and rivers. Some peregrine falcons have adapted to city environments, where pigeons and other city-dwelling birds are easy prey and the ledges of tall buildings provide good nesting sites. The peregrine can dive at speeds of up to 300 kilometres an hour, literally knocking its prey out of the air. The peregrine falcon was once on the brink of extinction, largely due to the widespread use of chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides such as DDT in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1973, it was regulated under Ontario's Endangered Species Act. Recovery efforts have been underway for more than 25 years, involving the Ministry of Natural Resources and many partners including Ontario Nature, Canadian Wildlife Service, Bird Studies Canada, conservation authorities, naturalist clubs, volunteers and the Canadian Peregrine Foundation. Through the combined efforts of the Ontario government and these partners, the peregrine falcon has made a remarkable recovery. There are now more than 70 pairs of peregrine falcons in Ontario. As a result of this success, the species was reclassified from Endangered to Threatened in June 2006. The peregrine falcon continues to be protected from hunting, trapping and nest disturbance as a Specially Protected Raptor under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. AMERICAN BADGER The American badger is a stout, short-legged carnivore with gray fur and distinctive black and white stripes on the head and face. The badger is a powerful digger, using its long front claws to create underground dens or burrow out small rodents which are its main source of food. Badgers are mainly nocturnal but are often active in the early morning. Small populations of badgers live in tallgrass prairie patches, sand barrens and farmlands in northwestern and southwestern Ontario. It is likely that badgers were never seen in great numbers in Ontario and populations have continued to decline. At present, it is estimated that fewer than 200 of these animals live in the province. The badger has few natural enemies, but its habit of travelling long distances in search of food makes it a frequent casualty of road vehicles. The other main threat to the badger is habitat loss. In 2003, a provincial team of experts was formed to develop a recovery strategy for the American badger. The team is coordinating research and monitoring efforts to reduce threats, promote habitat restoration and, ultimately, achieve successful recovery of this animal. PROTHONOTARY WARBLER The prothonotary warbler is a brightly coloured songbird that inhabits swampy deciduous woodlands in the Carolinian Zone of southwestern Ontario. Both males and females have brilliant golden yellow heads and under parts, olive-green backs, azure blue wings and tails, and large white tail spots. It is the only cavity-nesting warbler in North America, often selecting an existing hole in the trunk of a decaying tree. The prothonotary warbler is a small bird, weighing about 14 grams and measuring about 14 cm long. The male's distinctive territorial song is a loud, ringing "tsweeet-tsweet-tsweet-tsweet," repeated four to six times. The current population of this bird is restricted to five known sites along and adjacent to the Lake Erie shoreline. It is estimated that perhaps 100 pairs once existed in this region, but today only about 20 pairs occupy nesting sites in any given year. Factors contributing to the decline of this warbler include significant habitat loss and degradation, and competition from other species such as the house wren and brown-headed cowbird. A draft recovery plan has been prepared by the Prothonotary Warbler Recovery Team, led by Bird Studies Canada and in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Canadian Wildlife Service. The long-term goal is a population of 40 breeding pairs in Ontario. GREY FOX The grey fox has a salt-and-pepper coat with a reddish chest and sides, a black-tipped tail, white under-parts and a prominent black stripe running the length of its back. It is smaller than the red fox, with paw prints resembling those of a cat with claws showing. The grey fox prefers deciduous forests and marshes. It may also be found in agricultural areas and on the outskirts of towns and cities. The grey fox climbs trees to escape enemies and preys on small mammals, birds and insects, mostly at night. Little is known about historic population trends of the grey fox. Archaeological evidence indicates that it may have been almost as common as the red fox prior to European settlement. Since then, there appears to have been a periodic influx from the United States, where it is relatively common. Climate may be an important factor influencing long-term population trends of grey fox in Ontario. The only known resident breeding population for grey fox in the province is in southwestern Ontario. BLANDING'S TURTLE The Blanding's turtle is easily identified by its bright yellow throat and jaw. Its smooth, domed shell has been compared to a military helmet. This medium-sized turtle prefers shallow wetland areas with abundant vegetation. It may also spend much of its time in upland areas moving between wetlands. In a single season, this highly mobile turtle has been known to travel up to seven kilometres in search of food or a mate. The Blanding's turtle is found throughout the Great Lakes Basin. In Ontario, this includes the southern and central portions of the province except along the Bruce Peninsula and the far southeast. The total Canadian Great Lakes/St Lawrence population of this endangered species is estimated to be about 10,000. This number will likely continue to decline due to ongoing loss and fragmentation of its habitat. The colourful and friendly Blanding's turtle is an easy target for pet trade collectors. Because the turtle is long-lived and does not reproduce until about 14 to 25 years of age, this illegal activity can have a severe impact on the survival of the species in the wild. The loss of even a few adults can have a great impact on a local population. BIRD'S-FOOT VIOLET The bird's-foot violet is a small perennial plant that flowers in the spring and again in the fall. The flowers range from purple to white, and the deeply dissected leaves resemble the toes of a bird. When the ripe seed pods open, the tiny copper-coloured seeds may be catapulted up to five metres from the parent plant. In Ontario, the bird's-foot violet is found only in the southwest where it grows in several small scattered populations in open black oak savanna habitat. This lightly forested grassy habitat is also provincially rare, as only a tiny remnant of Ontario's black oak savanna remains from pre-settlement times. The largest populations of this violet in Ontario are found on publicly owned lands, but threats to this species still include invasive shrubs and the natural succession of its habitat of open fields gradually returning to forest.

In 2015, she was linked to the Ventura County Jane Doe and an imprisoned suspect named Wilson Choest. He's serving a life sentence for kidnapping, theft, and rape but is eligible for parole in 2017. It is believed by authorities that they had been each murdered by Choest. Her face was very recognizeable when it was found but the Kern County Jane Doe stays unidentified.
A touring exhibit created by Jane Doe Inc. entitled Shows of Character: Men Reimagining Manhood " features thirteen males from all walks of life who've been active White Ribbon Day Ambassadors in Massachusetts. The exhibit, made possible with funding from Verizon Wi-fi HopeLine and the Massachusetts Division of Public Health and the inventive providers of VDA Productive of Marc Beaulieu Photography, might be shown across the Commonwealth to inspire other men and boys to take the pledge, put on the white ribbon and make a distinction in promoting and creating protected relationships and communities.
Thanks again for all of your help and advice. After hearing from you, and speaking to associates again all of us seem to be on the identical web page about him being a manipulative person. We all thought he was a fantastic man, and as time went on and we found out concerning the girlfriend and all his other chats with different coworkers his actual personality seemed to return through. I think we had been all fooled by him, mother also thought he seemed to be a great man at first.
Canine additionally lick their lips when they are burdened or uneasy. Normally, it is a very quick lip-lick. It might be almost imperceptible. This is known as a relaxing signal , because it seems most often when a canine is uncomfortable and beneath pressure. It's just like that quick, nervous lip-lick you may even see from a politician when he's asked a troublesome question. You'll probably see it if you scold your canine, after one other dog growls at him, or when he's startled.
No I do not envy them at all, I feel sorry that many of them don't see that they have to attempt to get out from the oppression they don't even know they're in many times. Buying a house is a privilege at any stage! Guess what? Individuals on the American welfare system own houses, I do not know the place you reside, but they do. I hope that doesn't come as a surprise to you.

The sodium content of natural ingredients such as corn, wheat, and soybean meal is low. Thus, these ingredients can be used to create a base diet that is sodium deficient. To this base diet, various amounts of sodium chloride salt (NaCl) can be added, and other ingredients adjusted slightly to maintain a relatively constant nutrient profile (with the exception of sodium and chloride). Below are examples from a popular series of adjusted NaCl diets. Contact us for more information.
* When added to natural ingredient diets, these water soluble food dyes offer a slight color tint. More intense color can be achieved at higher inclusion rates.
Ask a nutritionist about additional salt concentrations or color options.
These diets are grain-based, with no animal derived ingredients, and have a background sodium content of approx. 0.01-0.02% and a background chloride content of approx. 0.06-0.07%. The selected nutrient content of the diets are as follows: approximately 19% protein, 5% fat, 3% crude fiber, 0.86% Ca, 0.64% P, 0.72% K, and 0.15% Mg.
NaCl adjusted diets are often fed to dahl salt-sensitive/resistant (rapp) inbred rats. These rats are maintained on Teklad traditional diet 7034 (0.12% NaCl) within maximum security production facilities.

There are several house maintenance issues to look out for during the winter , these ranges from ice on the dive way to snow buildup on roofs. The impact of delaying tending to these problems are unnecessary damage and repairs. The freezing temperatures can cause pipes and the contents inside to contract and expand which can lead to burst pipes, clogs and other problems related to whether, therefore plumbing in particular is a concern. However, there are several things you can do to guarantee your preparedness to confront any plumbing issues in the coming winter.
1. Always contact a good plumber.
Make sure that you have a good and reliable plumber that you can trust. Choose a plumber that will take your calls even after work hours and emergencies and on one that can has good reviews online. Plumbing services near you can be found by simply typing the word "plumbers" and the name of your city into search engines like Google. You can type the word "plumbers Toronto" to get the local plumbers if you are living in Toronto.
2. Avoid dumping oil, fat or grease down the sink.
It is a bad idea to empty cooking oil into the sink during the winter especially if you are used to doing so during the summer because oil-based things will thicken and harden in pipes. The final result will be a stubbornly clogged sink where food items will be sticking in the hardened fat which will need the use of degreasers and the assistance of a plumber.
3. Ensure you Run the Water from Time to Time When it Reaches Below the Freezing Point.
In case the weather remains below the freezing point for some time, it's advisable to run the water to avoid pipes from freezing. When your pipes get frozen, you won't get water from the faucets inside your home. A brilliant idea is to run warm or hot water for 30 minutes or an hour.
Let your Pipes to Warm Up.
Don't turn hot water on abruptly, especially when it's very chilly outside. In case the water pipes have already begun to freeze and you turn on hot water quickly through them, they can easily crack, and this can cause leakage and eventually loss of water pressure. Rather, you should let the water to get warm gradually to avoid hot water instantly that can result to cracking.
Advantages of Always Being Vigilant.
Regardless of whether you're a property owner or a tenant, if you're in charge of a property then you should heed to the above advice and take precautions during the cold weather. When you neglect these steps, your plumbing will get damaged and it can eventually cost you hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Use this guide to save yourself the hassle of dealing with such hitches by taking care of the plumbing pipes during winter.

Why is climate changing? What did it feel like to be at the forefront of the world-changing discovery that human emissions are responsible? And to what lengths did the forces of climate denial go to stop the truth getting out? These are the questions tackled by the book I've been writing called Hotting Up: The Inside Story of the Battle to Halt Climate Change.
I've been told it provides a fascinating insight into the battles behind the scenes to establish and defend the science of climate change. I've been praised for the writing's dramatic confrontational scenes and clear explanations of the science. A well-known publishing insider has told me it is a unique book that is sorely needed. But I'm struggling to find somebody who wants to take it on. If you're a literary agent or publisher who might be interested, or know someone who fits the bill, don't hesitate to get in touch.

France / Sweden, 1987 (MIFF 1988, Documentary)
Director: Jean Rouch, Titte Tornroth, Raul Ruiz
This three part film is just one clement of an extraordinary multi-media project initiated by the (obviously enlightened) French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which sent a group of artists out for two weeks on a Swedish icebreaker in the Bothian Sea, where they gathered inspiration for their respective works The results included a musical composition, a radio doco, a photo album and a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle (!) in addition to this unique film, made up of 30 minute episodes by legendary French documentary filmmaker Jean Rouch, Swedish director Titte Tornroth, and the French-based Chilean exile Raul Ruiz. Each filmmaker uses as their starting point the same basic elements the eerie ice-hound landscape and the massive mechanical presence of the Frcj; their very different contributions eventually overlapping, complementing, extending one another in totally unexpected ways.
Jean Rouch, here far from the jungles of his beloved Africa, contributes Part 1, capturing without commentary, the hypnotic beauty of the frozen ocean and the hulking icebreaker
In Part 2, Titte Tornroth builds on much of Rouch's on-board itinerary, but introduces the ships crew explaining their daily routines
Finally, in Part 3, Raul Ruiz runs the material through his eccentric sensibility to create an imaginary fiction set ahoard the ship
The unique effect of having seen three variations of the same material within the same film provides a fascinating progres¬sion, an essay m documentary technique and a surprisingly involving cinematic experience.

I just created a hardlink in Windows 7 using
mklink. When I use
dir the output doesn't indicate that the new hardlink is a hardlink. Instead it looks exactly like the file it is pointing to.
Example output from
05/16/2013 12:07 AM 40,448 HardlinkToOriginal
05/16/2013 12:07 AM 40,448 OriginalFile
On Windows 7 how do you check to see if a file is a hardlink?
I know that you can do:
fsutil.exe hardlink list OriginalFile and this will tell you that HardlinkToOriginal is a hardlink, but you need a-priori knowledge that is not available. Ideally I would like something like
ls -al on Linux where if the file is a link then the command tells you it is a link and shows you where it points to.

When it comes to sales we've seen more this year than we did last year. When we look at the condo-townhouse market, total sales closed was 29,539 in 3Q. That total was up 2.2% from last year's 3Q.
In this week's blog, we are going to touch on the subjects of the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) published final rules for credit score models and updates to its application for the first time in 20 years.
With data available from Q3 2019, we are going to dive into mortgage rates and housing market prices.

Delorentos at the Student Bar in UCD on Thursday.
Was at the Sunday Roast in Thomas Reads on Dame St on Sunday night (Gran Casino were performing). Never heard of it before but it's brilliant:- free music, board games (was Connect 4 this week) AND roast potatoes. Would go more often if it wasn't so fucking hard to get home to Greystones on a Sunday night. Photos coming soon.

The body of your work will be the main part of the article or writing assignment. You have to write the main points of your argument logically-from the strongest points to the weaker, from what happened first to last, or from the most important to the least important. This is your opportunity to shine, or fall completely flat, as a writer. Shining is good, falling, well, not so much.
Having finally designed the invoice template, you will have to print it. Here, again, you have some options. For one, you may simply customize your invoice template and print the invoice within your office, and submit them to your customer. You may even electronically transmit your invoice, using the email. At times, you may need to provide blank invoices to your servicing staff, enabling them to prepare invoices on the spot and to hand them over to customers for collecting payments. You may also consider having a combination of all these.
When doubting the authority of the weekly invoice template, the customer could take longer to settle your payment and that can seriously affect your profit. You do not need to get overwhelmed by this job of invoicing, as you can easily access a tax invoice template that will suit your kind of business or industry. Locating the correct standard invoice template helps saving a lot of time and money.

Spinach lasagna is a tasty way to get your family to eat this nutritious veggie. Everyone has family favorite meals. Mine rotate again and again, depending on how far back in my recipe file I can reach. Yesterday, I was searching for an old lasagna recipe I used to love to make for my family, and guess what? I found it! After looking at it, I found that I could tweak it a bit more by adding chicken for more protein and spinach for a bigger kick of iron. Spinach hosts 20% of the Daily Value of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, magnesium, manganese, folate, and iron. Who couldn't use a few of these beauties hidden inside a yummy creamy spinach lasagna? Give it a try!
Spinach Lasagna Recipe with Chicken and Broccoli
* Note, this large recipe fits nicely in a 15.5″ X 10″ baking pan/casserole dish, and can be halved. Do not half the sauce, though!
- 1 Box lasagna noodles
- 1 and 1/2 stick butter
- 2 Tablespoons chicken stock concentrate (Better Than Bullion brand is great!)
- 3/4 Cup flour
- 3 Cups milk (I used 2%)
- 1 tsp. each, dried garlic and thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 Cups Ricotta cheese
- 1 store bought rotisserie chicken, meat picked off the bones
- 1-16 oz bag frozen broccoli florets
- 1-16 oz bag frozen spinach (not chopped spinach)
- 1-15 oz can sliced mushrooms, drained
- 1-8 oz package sliced Swiss cheese
- 1-8 oz package sliced mozzarella cheese
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Spray the casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Cook lasagna noodles until they are slightly tender, but not over cooked. Drain, and drizzle a little cooking oil or butter on them so that they do not stick.
- Thaw broccoli and spinach separately in the microwave. You will want to use the microwave to thaw the vegetables, not cook them, as they will finish cooking in the oven in the lasagna. It is okay if they are slightly cool. Place the thawed vegetables in a mesh strainer and press until most of the residual water comes out. Lay veggies on a tea towel or paper towels to further help release moisture and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter until melted and add the chopped onion. Sauté until onions are tender.
- Add the flour into the pan with the butter and onions. Stir and cook until mixture becomes paste-like, about 5 minutes. Measure milk in a liquid measuring cup and add the chicken stock concentrate to it. Stir to blend.
- Add milk-chicken stock concentrate mixture to flour mixture on the stove. Whisk to blend to a smooth consistency. If sauce seems too thick, add a bit more milk to lighten it up. Add to the sauce the salt, pepper, dried garlic, and thyme. Stir to combine. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, drained broccoli, drained spinach, sliced drained mushrooms. and chicken pieces.
- Now you can assemble the spinach lasagna! First, ladle into your baking pan about 1/2 cup of the sauce. Line the inside the bottom of the pan with one layer of lasagna noodles. Add 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture. Ladle 1/3 of the sauce on top. Layer 1/3 of the cheese slices on top of that, alternating Swiss and mozzarella cheeses so that each layer has some of each. Place another layer of lasagna noodles on top of the first layer and repeat two more times, ending with a layer of sauce and Swiss and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes or until it develop a golden and bubbly crust on top. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
This delicious spinach lasagna pairs nicely with a fresh garden salad. Enjoy!

Welcome to Simply-RC!
Where RC is Made Simple
Sun, Sand, Sea
& Underwater.... Only To Stay Cool ;)
Many different types of boats are available in today's hobby market.
Ready-To-Run (RTR) boats are the fastest growing segment of the RC
boating industry. Today's RTR boats are nearly the same cost of
yesterday's boat kits but do not require the extensive build time. Most
RTR have the radio system and engine components pre-installed. RTR
boats come in a variety of performance levels and usually include a
2-stick style radio for sailboats and entry-level boats. As both
performance and speed increase, the RC boating world has borrowed the
pistol-grip style of radio from the RC car market. Regardless of which
radio is used, RTR boats are now easier to use, require less
maintenance, and can get you on the water in minutes rather than days.
Hull styles determine how the boat will handle and help to determine
the top speed the boat will be capable of. Water conditions can also
determine which hull design may work best for you.
V-hull boats
are by far the most popular boats on the water due to their ability to adapt to
most water conditions. Deep-V boats are rough water crushers that maintain high
speed in choppy water. More shallow V-hull boats are more stable in calm
water and give a scale appearance as the wake it creates gently rolls
off the bow.
Hydroplanes, unlike V-hull designs, generally contact the
water with two or more sponsons that help lift the boat out of the
water and create higher top speeds due to less contact with the water.
They can be broken into several different categories. Catamarans are
scale versions of the thrilling high-powered, offshore racers. They
handle the roughest water of all hydro-style hulls and maintain fairly
high straight-line speeds. 3-point style hydros are typically used for inland racing
on calmer water. This exciting style of boat hugs corners at nearly
full speed while throwing a 15-foot rooster tail of water spray behind
it as it rips across the water. Outriggers are unique to the RC
industry and are made strictly for speed; the sponsons are detached
from the main hull to help increase stability. Outrigger hulls offer
the best blend of straight-line speed and cornering of all hydro style
hulls. Considered to be the fastest hull style, Outriggers inherently
require more experienced driving skills and are less forgiving when it
comes to trimming (adjusting) them. These boat require the smoothest of
water conditions but can reach speeds over 90 mph.
Electric boats
are the best choice for beginning modelers. While nitro boats require
more engine adjustments, maintenance, and cleanup from nitro fuel and
oils, electrics are clean and easy to use and offer good performance
and more reliability.
Nitro boats offer more performance than electrics because of
the increased horsepower- to-weight ratio. Today's Nitro usually have
a pull-starter for the engine and require a glow driver to initially
ignite the glow plug. Nitro fuel is more expensive, but the excitement
level outweighs the cost.
Gas 2-cycle boats are generally much larger in size than
nitro boats and fuel is more affordable. The larger engines are easier
to operate but cost substantially more. If you're after the awesome
sound and power of a big water boat, gas boats are the best choice.
For the best in relaxation, sailboats offer the lowest
maintenance and are very fulfilling in regards to boat-handling skills.
With no power other than the wind, skills must be honed to learn how to
adjust the sails to take best advantage of wind currents. There is
nothing like tacking into the wind, seemingly defying the wind
Most entry-level boats use a direct drive system with a submerged propeller.
This system is easy to run, as cavitations concerns are minimal. Because
the entire prop is under water along with the drive shaft, there is
more drag and speeds aren't as fast.
Surface drive systems operate with only half of the prop
under water, allowing for larger diameter and pitch choices and
lessening water resistance. These systems sometimes incorporate a
flexible drive system that requires periodic lubrication.
To optimize performance, propellers should be balanced and
sharpened. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding
the area of the prop to remove. Propellers have very sensitive angles,
similar to the airfoil of an airplane, so modifying the wrong area can
compromise its efficiency.
When purchasing your first boat, there are a few additional items to consider. Boat stands
usually come as standard equipment with RTR boats. They are used to
display the boat and to give prop and rudder clearance when preparing
the boat for launch. Though these are functional, they do not always
have enough support.
As with all mechanical devices, inevitably some maintenance or repairs must occur. These 5-piece sets come
in the most popular sizes used in RC and are as durable as they are
No matter which RC boat you choose, you are sure to have an
enjoyable experience when you decide on the boat that's right for you.

Our canoe explorer sessions are suitable for those who have mastered the basics of paddling or have dabbled in the activity before but would prefer to have a guide or instructor with them to support their day. The explorer session is designed as a journey based activity on flat water within sheltered areas or a journey on a river. We have several venues in mind which allows our instructors to continue to teach the basic skills of paddling on flat water before embarking on a journey by open canoe.
2 people can paddle a canoe therefore its' a great activity for couples, groups and family's.
Adventure Carrick provides all equipment and because the explorer session is a full day out we can tailor the session to include a mini expedition where we carry food to cook on a remote shore or island or carry bikes to explore the area ever further.

- Buoyancy aid
- Modesty bag for outdoor changing
- Towel
- Shoes
- Accommodation
- Transport (unless booked as a group)
Our experienced and friendly instructors are BCU (British Canoe Union) SCA (Scottish Canoe Association) accredited. Our team of instructors are also very familiar with the venues we operate.
The full day canoe explorer session is designed as a fun journey and aims to cover the basics of:
Managing and setting up equipment (PPE, Setting up canoes for tandem paddling, how to carry boats safely etc)
Safely launching and egressing the water
Paddling skills (Balancing, forwards paddling, backwards paddling, steering skills)
Safety skills (Capsize activities, towing others etc)
Environmental awareness (choosing where to paddle, weather awareness, etc)
Canoe journey safari on flat water or river
Hire a canoe and enjoy the freedom!!

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. government may order an estimated 10 banks to boost their capital levels, but beleaguered insurer American International Group Inc. won't need further help from Washington, according to media reports Monday, all citing unnamed sources.
U.S. officials are expected to direct about 10 of the 19 banks undergoing government stress tests to boost their capital, a move they hope will quell fears about the solvency of the financial sector, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The exact number of banks affected remains under discussion, the report said, though possible candidates for capital-raising could include Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, -1.05%, Bank of America Corp. BAC, -0.69%, Citigroup Inc. C, -0.86% and several regional banks, the report said, citing sources familiar with the matter.
At one point, officials believed as many as 14 banks would need to raise more funds to create a stronger buffer against future losses, the report said, but that number has fallen in recent days.
If multiple banks are being directed to boost their capital, that could make the process seem less daunting than if the government singled out a few companies as weak, the report said.
Meanwhile, several banks are expected to have shown themselves to hold enough capital to weather a worsening economy, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -0.46% and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.88%, it said. Read full WSJ.com report on bank stress-test outcome.
AIG is A-OK?
AIG AIG, +1.12%, on the other hand, is likely to post first-quarter results Thursday that will be strong enough to avoid triggering a new capital injection from the U.S. government, Bloomberg News reported Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The insurer will report results better than the record $61.7 billion fourth-quarter loss it posted in March, the report said without specifying what those results will be.

To account for this "white coat effect," researchers found significantly greater accuracy when several blood pressure readings were combined from measurements taken at home or in the doctor's office.
The new study is published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
"Blood pressure fluctuates from hour to hour and day to day, and can skyrocket when introducing a life stress such as a medical appointment," said Benjamin Powers, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Duke and the Durham VA and the study's lead author.
"Current decisions about medical therapy are often based on one or two clinic measurements, which provide a skewed snapshot of a patient's level of control. It's clear that multiple measurements are needed."
The new study included 444 veterans with hypertension who were followed for 18 months. Researchers compared the results from three different approaches for measuring blood pressure: during a clinic appointment, at home with a blood pressure cuff, or in a "research setting," where multiple readings were taken in five-minute intervals.
Only 33 percent of patients were consistently reported as having controlled or uncontrolled blood pressure across all three settings. And no single in-office reading of systolic blood pressure between 120 and 157 mm Hg was sufficient to correctly classify a patient as in or out of control with at least 80 percent certainty.
"Measuring and treating blood pressure is one of the most common and important reasons for visiting a doctor but we lack a consensus in treatment guidelines on the setting, timing and total number of measurements that should be used for making treatment decisions," Powers said.
Researchers found the accuracy of readings greatly increased after five to six measurements, but note that it is not practical to achieve this through clinic visits alone.
"Our findings support recent calls for increased use and reimbursement for home blood pressure monitoring," Powers said.
Monitoring blood pressure at home is becoming increasingly common. Recent surveys report approximately 43 percent of people with hypertension use home monitors.
Powers also contends that doctors who treat hypertension should consider adopting standards used in managing other chronic conditions, such as diabetes, where home monitoring provides essential information for treatment decisions.
"Hypertension is the most common reason older adults go to the doctor," Powers said. "By shifting from clinic-based to home-based blood pressure monitoring, we could explore new models for telemedicine and create new efficiencies in care."
Study co-authors include Maren Olsen, Valerie Smith, Robert Woolson, Hayden Bosworth, and Eugene Oddone.
The study was funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Health Services Research and Development.

Get Ready – A New eHarmony Is On Its Way!
- Tuesday, July 09 2013 @ 10:11 am

- Views: 1,292
Watch out, world - there's a new eHarmony in town.
eHarmony has been an online dating staple since its launch in 2000, but it's hardly seen any changes over the last decade. Now eHarmony is finally ready to roll out some much-needed updates, catapulting the site squarely back into the middle of the modern online dating game. In fact, the new site is so up-to-date that it's even optimized for use on the iPad. Now that's hip.
The next generation of the site, code named "Malibu," has been redesigned to enhance the customer experience. The comprehensive remodeling will dramatically change the user dashboard and member profile pages, which will soon take on a magazine-like aesthetic for all members. Instead of displaying profile details in multiple box modules, the new and improved profiles aim to tell a story. Editing pages will also become a more intuitive experience.
Here's another change users are bound to be pleased about: no more third-party ads on the site. eHarmony's new commitment to engaging visuals and readability means that outside advertisements will no longer be seen on the site. The focus will be purely on creating relationships, with no distractions.
A new relationship questionnaire will also be making its debut on eHarmony. The stuffy and intimidating design of the old questionnaire will be replaced by a colorful and image-heavy design that looks more like a game and less like a daunting clinical form. Now that the sign-up process takes half the time to complete, the site has seen a 20% spike in the number of new users who fill out the questionnaire.
With the eHarmony redesign also comes this treat for members: a new, more visual personality profile called "The Book of You." "Our thought is that in order to be ready for that amazing relationship or that amazing person, you really should understand yourself and how people perceive you," Arvind Mishra, the company's VP of product management, told Mashable. The first few sections of "The Book of You" will be available to all users. The later sections will only be available to members with premium subscriptions.
If you ask me, it's about time eHarmony gave their service a makeover. "Our original site was incredibly scientific and incredibly sterile," said Mishra, but the new site will focus on empowering the user. The fresh focus on user experience will bring a human, emotional element to the site that its previous iteration was lacking. eHarmony's commitment to creating lasting relationships is still there, but now it comes with a much prettier face and more enjoyable user experience.
