A great brake for ~$30?
The answer is yes. This thing looks and performs great. Has held up very well so far, paint is durable, no scratches yet. This is a brake so yes it is loud - it was a little quieter than a lantec dragon. The recoil was pretty low. You'd be hard pressed to find a better deal on a brake than this.

* Write out a personally chosen verse from the reading each day

These spiral-bound journals from Daughters of Decision provide a way to record your day-by-day quiet time as you journey through the Bible's four Gospels. These journals are designed to help young women spend time alone with God in Bible reading and prayer. As you turn each page, you begin by praying Psalm 119:18. Then you read the assigned passage and choose a verse to write, including thoughts and questions about that verse. Then you end your time in prayer. The journal guides you from beginning to end of the particular book of the Gospels, focusing on one section at a time. The front of the book features a short quiet time poem, questions and answers about quiet time, and a sample journal page.
The Special Edition Journal contains a reading guide for all four Gospels and could be used for any book of the Bible. Journals in this series are color coded to differentiate each book, identified below. 6.25" x 9", Approx. 127, sc. ~ Ruth

Mangaluru, June 28, 2015: Marking his one year in office, MLC Ivan. D'Souza released a 20-page booklet titled 'Intricate path: successful Imprints', at his office June 27. MLC Ivan D'Souza, who took oath as a member of the State Legislative Council on June 27 last year, has registered cent per cent attendance. The MLC also fully used the four questions per day norm during the session on all the 61 days. Mangaluru Mayor Jacintha Vijay Alfred released the booklet describing the milestones and achievements of the MLC.
MLC D'Souza, later told the media that he had been making the best use of opportunities that came in his way to serve people irrespective of caste and community. During the legislature sessions, the MLC claimed, he made use of all platforms including "calling attention motion" to highlight issues of utmost importance. The MLC said some issues that he raised, not only helped people but also got him satisfaction and created a landmark.
He recalled, the Department of Fisheries was unrelenting to provide compensation to the family of a fisherman who went missing from the seashores near Mangaluru old harbour, he raised it on the floor of the house and also pressured the Chief Minister, who ordered payment of compensation the family. He also was instrumental for release of Rs. 1.28 crore during the one year towards medical treatment of people from economically weaker sections of society, cutting across caste and religion. Not less than 140 people benefited from his interventions. Regarding the legislator's development fund, the MLC said he successfully utilised Rs. 99.9 per cent out of the total Rs. 1.99 crore.

Etsy Mini Part 4 - How to make a Featured Artist Etsy Mini
For more information on using your Etsy Mini:
Part 1 - What is an Etsy Mini? How to build an Etsy Mini
Part 2 - How to post an Etsy Mini on your blog
Part 3 - How to post an Etsy Mini on your Facebook Page
It is possible to make an Etsy mini from another store, for example if you wanted to have an "artist of the week" Etsy mini on your blog. The trick is to make an Etsy mini for your own store, in the dimensions and size that you want your featured artist to have on your blog. Then you need to find their user_id and replace yours for theirs.
Here's an example. Let´s say I wanted to make an Etsy mini from this great store I found recently called reclaim2fame.etsy.com. First I would build an Etsy Mini for my own store, making it the size and dimensions I want to show reclaim2fame´s listings in.
This is the code I get for that:
I copy and paste that code into a word document so I can edit it a bit later.
Now, I want to turn it into an Etsy mini for reclaim2fame´s store. All I need to do it look at his Etsy shop Policies page. The url will look something like http://www.etsy.com/shop_...user_id=5932649. The bit I need is his user id 5932649.
So I take the Etsy mini code for my store, and I replace my own Etsy id with his like this:
By using this technique you can create an Etsy mini for any store you like, without needing to convo the seller to ask them to build one for you.

You´re welcome youngmi. I am glad to help!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been wondering how to do this.ReplyDelete
ha! I just realised I was the featured artist of the weekReplyDelete
(what a shock to see my minis on your site lool!)
oooo, thanks for sharing - I hadn't had time to figure it out for myself! You are great at showing tutorials. I never think of tutorials because I think, 'gosh, everybody must know this. i have to find something new and innovative to tutor....'ReplyDelete
I've used this in Collaborators, Anna. I explained elsewhereabout your fab blog and to click Project wonderful ads.ReplyDelete
I said this:
First, read up here (link to this post) about using the Etsy Mini for a featureed artist.
There are three other posts about the Etsy Mini if you don't know about it. You will find links at the end of Anna's post on her blog.
Second, Gayle needs more sales. So, one of my ideas was to feature her in an Etsy mini on a blog or maybe on multiple blogs. To find Gayle and her shop, go to Member at the top of this page, and she is on the 2nd page.
I bet Gayle is not the only one who wants more sales!
If YOU are willing to put up an Etsy mini in your blog, please say so here.
Anyone who wants to be promoted in this way, please say so here.
Let's get to it, ok?
I will make an Etsy mini tomorrow for Gayle and pop it on my blog.
Thanks heaps for this - really clear, jargon-free instructions. Cheers :)ReplyDelete
Thanks a lot for the article, this tutorial was extremely useful for me to learn how to make a featured artist etsy mini. KudosReplyDelete

1 Chronicles 26
The Divisions of the Gatekeepers1 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph. 2 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth, 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh. 4And Obed-edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth, 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. For God had blessed [Obed-edom] . 6 Also to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their families because they were strong, capable men. 7 Shemaiah's sons [were] Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers [were] Elihu and Semachiah, also capable men. 8 All these [were] descendants of Obed-edom with their sons and brothers; they were capable men with strength to do the work— 62 [in all] from Obed-edom. 9 Meshelemiah also had sons and brothers who were capable men— 18 [in all] . 10 Hosah the Merarite also had sons: Shimri the first ( although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first ), 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothers of Hosah [numbered] 13 in all. 12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the house of the LORD, just as their brothers did. 13 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike. 14 The lot for the East [Gate] fell to Shelemiah. ▼
▼Shelemiah is a variant of Meshelemiah; compare 26:2Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the north gate fell to him. 15 [The lot for] the South [Gate] [fell] to Obed-edom, and the lot for the storehouses to his sons. 16 [The lots] for the West Gate and the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway [fell to] Shuppim and Hosah. There were guards stationed at every watch. 17 Each day there were six Levites on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two pairs at the storehouse. 18 As for the court ▼
▼Hebrew parvar (twice in this verse)on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court. 19 These [were] the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah [and] Merari.
"The Treasurers, Officers, and Judges"20 Now their fellow Levites ▼
▼LXX; Hebrew As for the Levites, Ahijah waswere in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated things. 21 From the descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and heads of the families of Laadan the Gershonite, [were] Jehieli, 22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD. 23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites: 24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries. 25 His relatives through Eliezer [included] Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son. 26 This Shelomith and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders. 27 They dedicated some of the plunder from their battles for the repair of the LORD's temple. 28 Everything dedicated by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, along with everything else that was dedicated, was under the care of Shelomith ▼
▼Shelomith is a variant of Shelomoth.and his brothers. 29 From the Izrahites: Chenaniah and his sons had the outside duties as officers and judges over Israel. 30 From the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, had charge of the affairs of Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the LORD and for the service of the king. 31 As for the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites, according to the genealogies of his ancestors. In the fortieth year of David's reign [the records] were searched, and strong, capable men were found among [the Hebronites] at Jazer in Gilead. 32 Among Jerijah's relatives [there were] 2,700 capable men who were heads of families. King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter [pertaining to] God and the affairs of the king.

One of us (Elisa) has recently been nostalgic for one of her favorite rock bands, Jefferson Airplane, and their song "We Can Be Together," with its impassioned lyrics that implores people towards unison when it comes to battling society's ignorant walls. For the both of us, the song relates to StyleLikeU's mission: to provide a platform where we pull people together who inspire us to push the boundaries. Our craving for collaboration and forming inspiring communal bonds led us to create a series of videos around the theme of Community.
In our conversation, we preview the communities that we'll be shining the spotlight on this month:
The designers threeASFOUR, whose union embodies world peace in that one is Palestinian, one is Israeli, and one is Russian/German; the Hassids and their dedication to a tribal-like heritage that is thousands of years old; the Afropunk Fest and how it brings together some of the most killer music and original style in the world today (not to mention an interview with Saul Williams, whose zeal for an unbendable truth in the form of the spoken word sends chills down our spine); RoseLee Goldberg, the founder of Performa, which has rejuvenated the NYC art world by bringing artists out from behind their work; Paul Manza, a yogi who has manifested intentional communities both Upstate and in Brooklyn, attracting people who radiate an inner glow and fervor to save the planet; Charlotte Kidd, a photographer who's on the frontier in Red Hook, housing in her warehouse a place for artists to work and connect (something very needed with the gentrification of NYC); and the adorable, on-the-rise rap group, Phony Ppl, a pack of eight talented kids whose main objective is to function like a family clan making music.
The style of these communities belies their profundity. Shooting them has given us a natural high as well as hope that "we" will someday triumph over "me."

Higher interest rates might be scaring stock investors, but they haven't held back the stock market this year, according to a study by Credit Suisse Securities.
"Year-to-date, if you invested only on dates when interest rates went up, your annualized return would be 16 percent," said Jonathan Golub, chief U.S. equity strategist at Credit Suisse. Golub studied the correlation between the and the 10-year yield and found that for 2017, stocks gained 31.2 percent based just on the way they moved on days when bond yields rose.
"The argument that the market is selling off because of rising rates is mathematically wrong," he said.
Some analysts say a 10-year yield of 3 percent or even 3.5 percent could be a problem for the market. But Golub said stocks should respond positively to higher yields until they reach a level around 3.5 percent. Instead of acting as a barrier to stocks advancing, the 3.5 percent level is more of a neutral area, he said.
Golub studied the reaction of stocks to rising yields going back to 1991.
"When we get to 3 to 4 percent, the market will be indifferent to interest rates," he said. "It doesn't mean being at that level is a problem ... it means if rates continue to rise beyond that it becomes more challenging."
Stocks were weaker Tuesday morning, but the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 later turned positive on a tech-led rally. The Dow remained lower, pressured by a sharp drop in Walmart. Treasury yields were higher in afternoon trading, but the 10-year was off its highs, at 2.90 percent.

ICICI Bank gives 38% return on Gaddafi fund investment
Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has suffered huge losses on various funds despite paying hefty fees, but his investment in ICICI Bank gave impressive returns, a new leaked document showed today.india Updated: Jul 01, 2011 16:12 IST
Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has suffered huge losses on various funds despite paying hefty fees, but his investment in ICICI Bank gave impressive returns, a new leaked document showed on Friday.
ICICI Bank is the single Indian company in the investment portfolio of Gaddafi-controlled sovereign wealth fund Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), whose assets totalled about $64.2 billion as of September 30, 2010.
The portfolio has been disclosed in a new leaked internal document, the Management Information Report of the LIA, which was published today by independent campaign group Global Witness.
The document dated September 30, 2010, showed that LIA's investment in ICICI Bank appreciated by about 38% in the third quarter of 2010, that is between June and September.
LIA's total assets grew by 19% in that period.
As per the document, LIA was asked by global accounting and advisory giant KPMG to cut down its investments in various funds that were yielding losses despite the payment of hefty fees.
This is the second time an internal document of LIA has become public. The earlier leaked document revealed LIA's portfolio and other financial details as of June 30, 2010.
The previous document had actually shown a loss of about 15%, or $5.8 million dollars, during the April-June, 2010, quarter on an investment made in ICICI Bank.
The original investment in ICICI Bank ADRs (American Depository Receipts), the US-listed securities of India's largest private sector bank, stood at about $29.6 million.
It was not clear when the investment was made and whether the fund is still invested in ICICI Bank.
As per the portfolio, the value of the investment stood at about $32 million as of June 30, 2010, while the same was worth over $44 million by September 30 that year.
However, the investment is very small, compared to both the overall size of the fund as well as the shareholding derived in ICICI Bank by virtue of this investment.
The investment would account for only about a 0.1% stake in ICICI Bank, and that too, as securities without voting rights. Also, the investment made in ICICI Bank is less than 0.05% of the total fund size.
The Gaddafi family is said to have significant personal control over the state funds invested in LIA and the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has said that "Gaddafi makes no distinction between his personal assets and the resources of the country".
Earlier this week, the International Criminal Court issued a warrant against Gaddafi, who is facing an uprising for many months now against his 41-year rule and also an operation by Western coalition NATO for his ouster.
However, Gaddafi has alleged that the NATO operation is aimed at stealing Libya's huge oil reserves.

About Miscarriage
- Coping with miscarriage
Sadly, miscarriages are a common occurrence, with one in six pregnancies ending before week 20. This is little consolation when you have lost a baby through miscarriage, and you may want to find out why it occurred and if you can reduce the risk of it happening again.
Most patients who experience miscarriage will go on to have a baby, so it is important to stay positive. A small percentage of couples will experience more than one miscarriage. About 2% of women experience two or more consecutive early pregnancy losses. This is called recurrent miscarriage or recurrent pregnancy loss.
- What causes a miscarriage?
Some of the causes of miscarriage include:
- Random chromosome variations,
- Specific genetic variations,
- Parental chromosome variations (for example translocations),
- Uterine variations,
- Immune disorders,
- Hormone imbalances,
- Other medical conditions.
Female age is also an important factor. After the age of 43, there is a 50% chance of miscarriage.
- Natural killer cells research at Melbourne IVF
Melbourne IVF offers Natural killer Cell testing but is still under investigation. Natural killer cell testing can be done from a blood sample and while treatments are still undergoing research, they may include progesterone, clexane and prednisone.
If you have repeated miscarriages or failed IVF cycles, consult your fertility specialist to discuss whether Natural killer cell testing is appropriate for you.
Your fertility specialist can discuss appropriate arrangements for testing with you at this time.
Find out more about Natural Killer cells
- Early pregnancy care at Melbourne IVF
Our fertility specialists are experts in reproductive issues, including early pregnancy care.
The Melbourne IVF Miscarriage Care Program provides support for couples who have experienced the distress of miscarriage, and includes:
- Testing to investigate possible causes of miscarriage,
- Specialised care during the next pregnancy, including blood tests, and hormonal and ultrasound monitoring to provide reassurance throughout the first stages of pregnancy.
- Embryo screening (or PGT-A)
The most common reason why IVF is unsuccessful is chromosomal variations (aneuploidy) in an embryo. So with PGT-A Melbourne IVF utilises the most up to date science. We can screen all chromosomes in the developing embryo and select the embryo with the greatest likelihood of pregnancy success.
Your fertility specialist will guide you if PGT-A testing of embryos is suited to your case.

How do I or anyone for that matter go about reading/desifering the Recovery Logs in Android phones and tablets?
Logs are usually plain text files, so if you connect the phone to a Windows PC you should able to open them in Notepad.
Thanks so much. That was quick. I would have been in touch with you sooner. I did not know I would get a response so soon.

What's the Real Deal on Cooking Times?
The directions said 10 minutes prep time and 35 minutes to cook. I think those times would have worked if I had cooking assistants, but not on my own. It's like watching Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals. The show is broadcast in 30 minutes, but you don't see the extra cutting, simmering, mixing that goes on during the commercials. If she didn't have a staff I don't the meals could be done in a full 30 minutes.
So I would like to have recipes include not only the level of difficulty but the time frames for that level in real time. It could go something like this...
Chop onions and toss into hot skillet:
expert 2 minutes. Be a speed demon with that chef's knife and saute the onions in a flash on your high BTU stove top.
beginner: 10 minutes. Get out the skillet and turn on the heat. If you have a gas stove it will heat up quickly so you may want to wait until the onions are chopped. If you have an electric range, turn on the heat right away as you have extra time to get the food ready. Now get out a sharp knife cut the onion in quarters, throw it into the mini chopper and let it chop till tiny pieces.
This way you'll know how long it will really take to do the cooking and your family and friends won't be getting grumbly since they're hungry. I didn't want that tonight as both my husband and I would be coming in late and would be famished. To prevent that from happening, I did some pre-cooking in the morning before I went out for my appointments. The pre-cooking involved cutting and chopping onions and bell peppers and sauteing them with the sausage.
I now have an electric stove. There wasn't an option for a gas stove in this house as it is all electric so I am learning to cook in a new way. The bad part about electric stoves is the heat up time is a bit longer. The good part is you can turn it off sooner and it will stay warm. I'm having better luck figuring out the end warming time than the turn on time.
The waiting for the skillet to heat took longer which meant the prep time took longer. I did get it done in time before I left but I still had to do more reheating and then cooking later in the evening. The real start to finish time ended up being about one hour. This wasn't too bad as the evening time only took 25 minutes which gave me some time to decompress as the food was in the simmer stage.
So to all you cookbook writers - how about doing translations for the everyday cook? Provide real times for the cooking of Julia Child, The Joy of Cooking or even any of the Rachel Ray recipes. And while you're at it give some ideas for everyday substitutions that can be used.

Only just over one Italian out of 6 is being done to maintain beautiful and healthy teeth. Most countrymen, nearly 2 out of 5 instead neglects the care of the smile.
Here are the 10 commandments which help smile:
1. Begin the prevention of school age. At 6 years sprouting occurs first molars and the barter of the incisors. It is important to teach children the basic techniques of oral hygiene and implement an effective plaque control. It should also be made an evaluation visit orthodontic and prevention of malocclusions and / or bone defects.
2. Carefully check the state of the gums, after the eruption of the permanent teeth. If the gums are swollen, red and bleeding, undergo specialist examination by a periodontist. Bleeding gums, regardless of its frequency or magnitude, is a strong indication of an active periodontitis.
3. Carry out the professional cleaning at least every 4/6 months. The frequency of occupational hygiene sessions is correlated, in the case of children, to their ability to brush correctly.
4. Run puberty a risk test for the evaluation of genetic factors determining the development of periodontitis.
5. Make timely sealing of teeth with deep grooves and receptive to tooth decay.
6. Perform a microbiological test in case of periodontitis clinically overt. The test should be repeated once a year, after healing, to prevent recurrence.
7. Undergo the preventive treatment of periodontitis. To solve the periodontal infection is not enough to eliminate the teeth and replace them with titanium implants. The same bacteria that cause periodontal disease also affects the plants, resulting in the peri-implantitis, and losing them.
8. Reduce the cigarettes to no more than 3 or 4 per day and abolish cigars and pipes. Smoking increases from 7 to 10 times the risk of losing his teeth in periodontitis and therapies are less effective in the case of tobacco.
9. Perform specific medical checks in the case of diabetes, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. Do not underestimate the role that toxins and bacteria themselves, consistently coming in a circle, can be had in many diseases. Many systemic diseases are related to periodontitis.
10. Check with a dentist specialist in case of injury of the gingival oral mucosa. Oral cancer accounts for 1% of malignant tumors, a biopsy performed promptly often allows to intercept the injury during pre-cancerous.

Sometimes called the Pentagram, this is the physical form of the symbol that we draw in the air to call good energy, to seal the circle, and to bless. It's always drawn with one point up, or one point North, to show that we are channeling healing, helping, growing energies. The five points can stand for the five points of the human body; head, two arms, and two legs. So the human body does better standing on it's two legs than standing on it's head!
As the physical representation, it's a symbol of the earth, and so it stands for Earth on the altar. We put things on it to call helping energy into them, and to bless them. Traditionally it's made of wood, silver, or clay.

BUSINESS: Kelly Group Feels the Pinch
Recent Gauteng Business News
Comprehensive employment services and outsource solutions provider the Kelly Group felt the full impact of a deepening recession throughout this year, with both its South African and US operations posting reductions in revenue and earnings.
The second-half down turn resulted in headline earnings per share for the full year decreasing by 39.8% to 61.63 cents while profit before interest, tax and depreciation was down 28% at R114.6 million. The dividend cover at 2.85 times was maintained and a cash dividend of 21.5 cents per share (2008: 36 cents) declared.
Chief executive Grenville Wilson said a tough year had not been without its positives.
"Despite the difficult trading condition, the group managed to increase revenue in rand terms marginally to R2 256 billion. While our high-margin permanent staffing business was down 32% in revenue terms, the lower margin temporary staffing business was maintained at the previous year's level.
"Productivity improvement measures and cost-saving initiatives initiated in the previous financial year produced immediate benefits and helped to improve the gross margin from 27.8% to 28.2%, while containing the increase in operating cost to a modest 3%. While new strategic investments in enabling technologies and the acquisition of Torque IT increased the depreciation charge by 39%, these will enhance efficiency and generate new revenue sources."
Wilson said the group's strong focus on cost containment as well as the development of synergistic opportunities and new revenue streams, which had offset some of the effects of the economic crunch, would also serve it well going forward.
"We expect market conditions to remain depressed for the foreseeable future, keeping up the pressure on our margins and volumes. In this environment, our priorities will be to minimise short-term risks and to maintain our commitment to stringent cost control and improved efficiencies," Wilson said.
"In the short term, we expect the FIFA 2010 World Cup to create new revenue-generating opportunities while some companies may start upsizing their flexible workforces in anticipation of an economic recovery. Looking towards the latter part of 2010 and beyond, we believe the Kelly Group is fundamentally in good shape to return to sustainable growth when that recovery comes."

Yesterday morning began with a three-hour meditation at the Buddhist Centre in Bristol and I also got to see one of my closest friends, who I don't get to see very often. I won't dwell on that experience too much because although it started well, I decided to alter my seating position for the final stage of meditation and I was anything but comfortable for those agonising minutes… All twenty of them!
I usually kneel astride a stack of rectangular cushions but that sometimes leaves me with pain in my lower back but usually, only on my right side. Minor adjustments to raise the height of my seat and more haven't quite sorted this, which is why I decided to try and sit cross-legged, with bolster cushions to rest my legs on either side. I took my friend's advice and used a stack of cushions to raise my seating position so that my legs could rest but still, I was struggling and, well, I didn't really get anything other than a sense of frustration before lunchtime came and we went out for a coffee (tea, actually).
That's all I'm going to say on that. Now, I'd like to focus on my most recent visit to Ashton Court, last Saturday…

The Great Horned Owl: A Magnificent Avian Apex Predator
Great Horned Owls Live All Across the Americas
The great horned owls (Bubo virginianus) are ultimate Americans. From halfway to the northernmost portions of Alaska and Canada, all the way down to the south Amazon basin, you'll find the great horned owls of the Americas. These magnificent predators live as long as 28 years.
The birds of this species demand and are deserving of respect. If you don't think so, try getting at one of the owl's eggs.
First and foremost, beware of their talons, as they are the most dangerous thing—that and the fact you won't be looking for one when one is looking to injure you. These owls' talons are said to exert 500 pounds per square inch of pressure against your skin. Losing an eye is certainly within the realm of possibilities. The strength of the great horned owl's talons is comparable to that of a golden eagle, or to that of a German shepherd's bite.
This article will cover just about everything you need to know about great horned owls, including the legality of owning or hunting them, what they look like, what they eat, and how they live.
Beware: Great Horned Owls Will Attack You
These raptors are predators. Ever hear of a predator that doesn't protect its young, its territory, or itself? No, you have not. Great horned owls can and do attack humans when they feel threatened—and they should! Humans tend not to respect each other much, and much less so other earthlings.
Disrespect them at your own peril, however. They are the only known bird of prey to have ever killed a human being. Yes, the silly dead human tried to get some owl eggs—bad decision, that.
Stay Away From Their Nests
Here's a helpful hint: The great horned owl is liable to see your behavior as disrespectful or threatening even when it isn't. The picture below is of a man who was collecting rabbits from his snares in the woods. Perhaps the owl recognized the human as a threat to his diet? Owls aren't stupid, you know.
All predators are territorial, and the great horned owl is no different. These owls are known to occasionally dive-bomb humans. If you know good and well you are in an area where owls are attacking, then you should carry an umbrella. When it is raining owl talons, an umbrella, thin and simple as one is, can provide some deterrence.
It Is Very Illegal to Harm or Possess a Great Horned Owl Without a License to Do So
It is illegal for you, for me, and for the largest part of the population to possess a great horned owl, or any part of one. Obviously, it is also illegal to kill one, as they are federally protected. We're talking felony charges here. You do not want a felony record.
You have every right, however, to protect yourself from a great horned owl. You just don't have the right to kill one outside the realm of an incident where one is actually attacking you or someone with you. While owl attacks do happen, it's probably not a thing you should worry your little head over.
Me? Heck, I'm forever pleased when I even get to see any owl. A super predator like a great horned owl isn't the type of creature that poses for cameras. Even when I've been out and listening to owls hootie hoodie hoo-ing, I typically don't see them, as it is typically very dark outside at those times. These are nocturnal predators.
What Do Great Horned Owls Eat?
So what do these semi-mythical and powerful raptors eat? Meat, of course. They eat lots of meat. Fresh, wiggling meat is how the great horned owls like it. Of course, a diverse diet is advantageous for most any animal's survival, and the great horned owls are no different. This diversity also goes a long way towards explaining the owl's very large range of dominion from the skies.
A Diverse Diet of Mammals, Birds, and Insects
Great horned owls have the most diverse diet of all North American raptors. Their prey range in size from tiny rodents and scorpions to hares, skunks, geese, and raptors. They eat mostly mammals and birds—especially rabbits, hares, mice, and American coots. But they also eat also many other species, including voles, moles, shrews, rats, gophers, chipmunks, squirrels, woodchucks, marmots, prairie dogs, bats, skunks, house cats, porcupines, ducks, loons, mergansers, grebes, rails, owls, hawks, crows, ravens, doves, and starlings. They supplement their diet with reptiles, insects, fish, invertebrates, and sometimes carrion.
These birds are all-out predatory. They even eat other owls. The list above of prey is merely a grouping of common examples. Great horned owls prey on 500 known species of creatures, even going so far as to attack and eat bald eagle chicks, assuming the parent birds are not in the nest. This avian apex predator is speculated by some to be the single most successful predator on the planet Earth.
Great Horned Owls Also Hunt During the Day
Although they are usually nocturnal hunters, Great Horned Owls sometimes hunt in broad daylight. After spotting their prey from a perch, they pursue it on the wing over woodland edges, meadows, wetlands, open water, or other habitats. They may also walk along the ground to stalk small prey around bushes or other obstacles.
The Lives of Great Horned Owls
Great horned owls lay eggs weeks in advance of other species of raptors. This gives the owl's chicks a competitive advantage over, say, those of the red-tailed hawk. (The red-tailed hawk, by the way, is a definite competitor to the great horned owls, for just about everything. The two completely distinct species of raptors share the same ecological niche.)
A Courting Process of Posturing, Hooting, and Gift-Giving
These owls spend some time choosing their mates. They start courting in October, make decisions by December, and then are mated for life. These are totally monogamous birds of prey. Besides physical posturing and loads of hooting, the males also do another traditional sort of thing during courtship—they treat the lady to a fine meal of fresh meat.
Their Nests Are Often Stolen From Other Birds
Great horned owl nests are as varied as the vast stretches of land they inhabit. The most consistent characteristic of great horned owl nests is that they're often stolen from other birds. Why build a nest when you can just take one? It's almost human, this raptor, in many of its admirable and less-than-admirable behaviors.
They Fiercely Protect and Amply Provide for Their Young
The laying of eggs is timed according to the region the particular owls inhabit, and the weather in said region. Once again, be advised that you are most likely going to be attacked by a large raptor with powerful talons if you disturb a nest. You may be attacked simply for being too close to it, whether you know about said nest or not.
The females stay with the nest unless something dramatic forces them out. The males act like consummate and loving mates during this time, often doing the hunting for both adults and even stockpiling food for the chicks when they hatch. A studying biologist observed one nest and found a full 18 pounds of meat stored and ready for the chicks.
Eggs are incubated, regardless of the temperature, by the female for 28–37 days before chicks hatch. It's often more than 10 weeks before the baby birds can fly competently.
How Big Are Great Horned Owls?
So how big are these great horned owls? The female is larger than the male, as a rule. Despite the size difference, the male has more developed vocal abilities and can hoot with a deeper, louder voice.
Females weigh around 4 pounds, while males weigh about 3 pounds. The females usually stand 2 feet tall and the males a foot and a half. Wingspans are truly impressive and stretch as far as 5 feet wide in females and 4 feet for the males.
What Are the Great Horned Owl's Enemies?
These birds are veritable avian apex predators, but they still have enemies. Very few, however, pose an actual threat to them.
While great horned owls are so bold as to attack and even eat the chicks of a bald eagle, it is a rare thing. Though in defending their nests bald eagles have been known to kill great horned owls, they do not, however, hunt them. Crows are known to gang up on the great horned owls and harass them for hours and hours at a time, but they can't kill one. Once every blue moon, a red-tailed hawk gets the jump on the great horned owl and kills one.
Though there is exactly one creature that literally hunts this apex predator. That fearsome and huge raptor is the golden eagle, the sworn enemy of great horned owls.
When Ears Are Not Ears
Owls in general are known for having outstanding ears and eyes, and this species is no exception. The eyes of the great horned owl are huge in comparison to the size of its face, and those "horns" are certainly the ears, right? Wrong. The "horns" are not ears, and they aren't horns either. They're actually just feathers, and that is all that they are.
Huge eyes and massive pupils allow the great horned owls to collect all available light while hunting at night. Though they cannot swivel their eyes in their heads as we can, they can rotate their heads as much as 270° in either direction. Who needs swiveling eyes when you can do that? These owls have less ability to differentiate colors than we do though. For colors are not what the owl seeks, but rather, movement.
The ear tufts, which are only feathers, serve the great horned owls as camouflage, and they shift in position to indicate the bird's moods. As shown in the illustration above, the actual ears of this bird are not easily visible to the untrained eye. Those ears, however—along with their eyes—are possibly the greatest surveillance weapons developed by natural selection on the planet Earth.
The Great Horned Owl in Flight
No species of owl is particularly fast as a flyer. Like other owls, this species is almost completely silent in flight. They glide more than they ever flap their wings. With near pinpoint accuracy with the dish face, huge eyes, and finely tuned ears, it is simply not fair for the great horned owl's prey.
You've been losing your cats, have you? You were sure it was coyotes killing them, huh? Think again, my friend. The great horned owl can kill and fly off with prey more than twice its own body weight. Even if a cat was too big for the owl to fly off with, the raptor can easily kill one and get a bellyful on the ground. Instances such as these—where the prey is too large to carry off and the bird must feed there on the ground—are some of the only instances when a great horned owl is ever in physical danger.
Great Horned Owls Are Common Throughout Human Mythology and Fiction
Great horned owls are frequent figures in pop culture, mythology, and folk tales.
In the Harry Potter stories, there is Errol, a messenger great horned owl who plays a role alongside a snow owl. There's little surprising about this, as the wizard Merlin was very fond of owls. His owl's name was Archimedes, and Archimedes was a rather important character to the tale of The Once and Future King.
In addition to pop culture, all owls, not just the great horned ones, are mythological birds. More often than not, owls are thought to be harbingers of doom. One can only imagine how early peoples would react to a nocturnal raptor that seemingly has devil's horns on its head, and the ability to rotate its head to alarming angles.
I hope to have spread some appreciation, if not love, here for the great horned owls. Thanks for reading, and happy hunting to you.
Questions & Answers
I have a pair of nesting owls with two owlets in my and my neighbor's backyard. I watch them every evening with a scope. The juveniles are flying; they are so incredibly noisy. At what point do the kids leave home? At what age do they seek a mate?
Young Great Horned owls are not competent flyers until they are ten to twelve weeks old, but then after that, the time when they leave their parents is dependent upon how much food is available. They are typically gone from a nest before the Fall is over.Helpful 8
Is it legal to own a Great Horned Owl?
You have to have a license to have one.
Will a Great Horned Owl eventually seek new territory? I saw my first one late this evening coasting from pine tree to pine tree, robbing mockingbird nests. All this with a squadron of mockers dive bombing and screeching.
I think if the climate changes the Great Horned Owl could find some new territory. I don't think the other birds could ever chase the Great Horned Owl out of a place though.
Can owls pass disease through their claws?
It is possible such could be the case as an owl's claws are often ripping into prey animals, and there is no certainty as to the health of the prey.
If an owl is hopping around on the ground for quite a while. Is that a sign that it's I'll or injured?
Yes, I believe so. I also believe the bird is dangerous when injured, and shouldn't be bothered except by persons trained to do so. I got very close to a great horned owl once, late at night, and strangely enough - standing at a dirt crossroads. Got within ten feet of it, as it was just standing there. Still looked like an animal which could do me great harm, and I respectfully backed away, slowly.Helpful 5

Sorry to hear that. 60 is still young if your health is good. My mother whom I take care of will be 103 in January. Cardiologist said she has the heart of a healthy 60 year old. Except for weakening sight, hearing and arthritis she's as normal as a 60 year old. Hardly any meds, nothing expensive. Get this, she was married to a chain smoker for 40 years, ate meat nearly every day of her life, still loves salt and sugar and in private is as negative a person you'll ever meet but just as sweet as can be to your face! She was the youngest of 7 so all her siblings are passed away, 3 too early from ALS. I guess she is making up for the years they lost.
Is my neighbor allowed to scare away the great horned owls who have been in my yard for 15 + years. They have chicken which are actually against ordinances but that is another story, but he scares away the owls every night , out of my yard.
, my question is I have great horned owl I seen him. And the other night he was above my window at 4 in the morning and I heard a deep hooting followed by a higher hooting... Do you think this was some kind of ritual it went on for quite a while??????
The size difference known as sexual dimorphism is likely due to the need for males to be smaller because small live prey is more abundant than large prey, and the male does more hunting when the female is incubating. Additionally, females may be larger to support egg production and incubation. There is no way of actually knowing the reason other than it is dictated by their genetic makeup but this sounds logical. You can decide for yourself if the causation is due to natural selection or simply an intelligent designer or likely both!
This was so fascinating to read about these amazing owls. Funny how relaxing I find the owl sound but not so funny if I make him feel threatened. I was really intrigued that the male is smaller than the female. Does the smaller size help with manly duties like finding food? Really enjoyed this article!
They can communicate, even with humans. I've seen it on eyeglass commercials!
Thanks for the information. I am going to HAVE to try it.
Mike, You know if you play a recording of any owl (at dusk or right before dawn is best or a full moon so you have some light to spot them) they will come right to you from up to a mile (or more) away. I actually had a screech owl once try to land on my shoulder and once grabbed one right out of the air.
If you play a great horned owl however smaller owls in the area will disappear as great horned owls will eat them and they seem to know it.
Very good article.
The other day I was taking an early morning walk in the woods behind my house. I spotted a Great Horned Owl in a tree having a chipmunk for breakfast. I stopped and was going to get a picture of it, but the owl made a sound and took off with its half-eaten prey when it saw me. Magnificent creatures. Enjoyed reading your article.
We have a pair of great horned owls that visit our neighborhood almost every night, in Tucson AZ. The other night one was on top of our backdoor neighbors house. My husband and I went out back to look at it. It looked back and then flew to the eve of our roof, 5 feet directly above my head! It leaned over and blinked at me twice and took off! I'm in shock and amazement! What would cause an owl in a neighborhood to do something like that? I don't think that's normal is it?
Im a falconer and ive had cosmo my greathorned owl for 17 years.hes a one person bird for sure.very afectionet to me.
Someone bought a deep empty lot across the street from me, the back of the lot has mature pine trees with what I believe are great horned owls nesting there. Is it legal for this guy to cut all the pine trees down in the back of his property since the owls are nesting there? Its in northern Pinellas county., Oldsmar.
1/12/19 I was sitting in my hunting tree stand in the dark waiting for the sun to rise. Suddenly I was hit hard on the side of my head. Felt claws going into my face. Two of the talons just missed my right eye
Yes. They seem to know where it hurts the most. No wonder they are one of the top predators despite their size. Looking forward to some interesting information on Asian owls too.
I had seen an owl once from a very close distance in our neighborhood. It was a rare and enjoyable sight. The owl did not mind my presence for some time and then flew away. Back then, I did not know that owls could attack human beings. Anyways, the ones we see here in India are most certainly not the Great Horned Owls. It is strange that a four pound bird could kill an alert human being who is supposedly more intelligent and weighs around two hundred pounds.
These are such beautiful birds. I have never had the pleasure of seeing one though. They are so gorgeous.
I have not had the pleasure of meeting one of these preditor owls, but their story is fascinating. I love all types of birds, and learning so much about these owls was fascinating. I love all the pictures, and I liked learning all the details of their existance.
is he okay
I am a keeper of house birds and also feed wild ones. Yesterday morning at 6 am, a great horned owl was on our patio and my Goffin cockatoo made a blood curdling scream. When I opened the door, the owl left.
But last night, he returned. With drapes drawn down, he hit the window with such force that we are surprised that it didn't break. We turned on the patio light, to see him again sitting about 10 feet from the window.
But he did this same thing, two more times; hitting the window and us chasing him off.
I, too, see them frequently in our yard at dawn and dusk, but never before have I experienced one trying to break into the house.
I live in Pensacola, Florida and I believe an owl tried to attack me. I was out at my pool pump and was walking back. I noticed a shadow overhead and it went by a couple of times. I reached the awning over my patio and went into the house, but I was curious so I looked and saw an owl perched on my privacy fence.
Our neighborhood is full of ours and they are probably barn owls I don't know but I have a question I hear them every night all night mostly but I never ever hear them during the full moon. Do you know why that is?
This particular owl began "watching"( for lack of a better word ) me since last summer. Everyone thought it cute at first he would show up every evening, then he tried to land on me. My daughters look just like me and he knows the difference if it's me or them outside. He's not trying to hurt me bc he has walked up to me already. What is going on? I have pics. It went so far as him flying alongside our vehicle looking in the window to see if it was me but turned away when he saw it was my husband.
I saw a great horned owl being mobbed by birds this morning. I was out walking my dog & heard a lot of loud bird noise up in a tree. I looked up & saw a large bird facing away from me being harassed by a group of smaller birds ... I wasn't sure if it was an owl or a hawk at first, but then he turned his head and looked straight down at me. Definitely a great horned owl. We hear them hooting at different times of the year in our neighborhood. Occasionally I see one when out for an early run, but this was the best look I've ever had of one. He wasn't that far from me and he sat there for a while, but he was obviously annoyed by the birds & finally flew off.
We have a mated pair of Great Horned Owls that come every spring to have their babies in the Palm trees inside our courtyard at work. The first year we were here they had two babies. The following year, they had two but one fell out of the nest and died. The next year, only a single baby. This year they had 3! The biggest one of the three just starting trying out his wings. They're so inquisitive. They've never (to my knowledge) attacked anyone and they look at us when we talk to them, but we never get too close. After reading this article, I may allow a bit more distance.
I LOVED the pictures!!!!!
We have Great Horned Owls who nest in our yard. Unbeknownst to us, one of the babies fell out of the nest (unharmed) and my husband was in the yard and an adult owl attacked him, which I witnessed. SO SCARY! They are incredibly powerful.
Wouldn't that be cool!
Oh yeah, started with chicken hearts and gizzards and once he was able to fly gave him as many mice a day he could eat. He was so docile and tame I hated letting him go but the mice were getting expensive. Could be he was raised by someone or a wildlife rehabber and released that summer before I found him.
I have two screech owl nest boxes I have to relocate. They are in Ash trees that are now dead. Man I have a dozen dead ash trees on my property I have to cut down thanks to the emerald ash borer http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_29532816/report-... The electric company comes through every year and cuts down any ash trees near enough to fall on the lines and already got three of mine but I have more off the road.
Wes, just download a recording of their hooting during mating season, sit quietly at dusk or dawn play it loud and watch (bring a flash light). You'll hear them off a mile away before they appear.
Hey I just remembered I had a pic of the one I brought back to life in my one hub page. Here he is, he's in a glass chandelier I turned into a "cage" for him while I had him recuperating. http://usercontent2.hubimg.com/5275597_f260.jpg
I adore birds of prey and this one is magnificent. I love the first photo; stunning!
I have nothing but admiration for such creatures. They have to survive so that's why they behave the way they do; some would call it cruel, horrible, whatever, but their skills are honed to a fine art.
Thanks for all the information; didn't know about the ears.
I've spent many hours at a Hawk Conservancy in Hampshire; a wonderful place which offers about the only opportunity to get up close to birds of prey. I'd willingly work there but it's two counties away!
I used to know a boy who went to my primary school who had a pet chough; it spent most of the day on his shoulder - not in school though!
Great hub!
I had a pair of barn owls I raised from babies, long story but I got them from the tower of an old building in the middle of my college campus where a Barn Owl nested. There were literally dozens of people walking around the campus under the tower (three stories up) and in the building day and night. The owls were really interesting "pets" but the best pets I ever had were my crows. I wrote about all this stuff in my Hub Pages but how about you doing a Hub Page on the saw whet owl. I found one once in a snow storm by the railroad tracks - obviously must have flown into a train in the snow storm, but reading about them I found them to be quite interesting.
Well done Wes, these birds are so awesome. I've had screech owls as pets and spent a lot of time and nights playing recordings of owls to draw them to me. With recordings in mating season I've drawn screech owls so close to me I actually grabbed one out of the air once.
Once at dusk I was watching three screech owls I had drawn to me (two males were courting thew female) with a recording of their voices and decided to play the great horned owl recording. The screech owls instantly disappeared, the are prey of Great Horned owls.
I also nursed a Great Horn back to health one winter just 5 years ago. Saw him fall to the ground in the snow in the back yard. I think he had eaten mice that were poisoned by rat poison. I gave him vitamin K and in a few days he was good as normal. Actually it was strange because he was totally tame with me, sat in a parrot cage all day and would let me walk around the house with him perched on my (protected) arm. In late winter I put him in an aviary outside. Whenever I'd approach him he'd make a clicking noise, very loud and distinguishable. I'm still not sure if it is a warning or a sign he liked me! Eventually, when I got tired of buying mice to feed him, I left the door to the aviary open and after a couple days he left.
We had run into town with our other kids to get groceries. When we got home our 14-year-old son stood in our kitchen with a great horned owl on his arm. He was lucky the bird didn't take his eyes out. He found it in a trap. I don't know if it was so calm because he saved it or because it was in shock. He took it outside raised his arm high and it flew off. He had a heavy jacket on that is what saved his arm. It had been caught in the trap by one of its talons. Somewhere around here, I have a picture of him holding that bird.
There are animals in that there diet I have never even heard of, like a vole and mergansers. The one thing about this creature, like many others, is that they take care of their family. It's kind of romantic when you think about it. I'm in love with this great horned owl.

New training equipment and technologies: LAT invests in the future
B-777/9 CEET to be delivered to Lufthansa Aviation Training in the 1Q2020
Lufthansa Aviation Training (LAT) is investing widely in new training equipment and further education of cabin crews this year. This includes the purchase of a new B-777/9 Cabin Emergency Evacuation Trainer (CEET). The company is thus meeting the new training requirements that will arise from the incorporation of the B-777/9 into Lufthansa Airline from 2020.
The 777/9 cabin trainer is currently still in production. The manufacturer is the Dubai-based company Spatial. Delivery to LAT's Frankfurt location is scheduled for the beginning of 2020, where the CEET will be ready for training from spring 2020. After the complete fleet expansions of the 777/9, LAT trains around 7,000 Lufthansa flight attendants annually in all Safety and Emergency Procedures (SEPs) on the aircraft type –including fire and smoke training, door and escape operations as well as safe cockpit procedures and emergency equipment. To ensure that there is sufficient space for the new CEET, work is already underway in Frankfurt's emergency hall to optimize the space available for the training equipment.

Elastomeric Foam Insulation Meets Requirements of Demanding Application at Dakota Gasification Company
When Dakota Gasification was experiencing significant ice accumulation in its cold service insulation in the rectisol area, they chose K-Flex flexible elastomeric foam insulation to solve the issue. The elastomeric system was a replacement for a previously installed PUR with metal jacketing system that had resulted in substantial ice accumulation.
To ensure Dakota Gas received the best possible insulation solution, K-Flex served as a design partner through the project's planning stages and provided on-site installation support until the project was complete.
The K-Flex FEF system has provided excellent thermal performance. Key benefits include no ice accumulation and proper process temperature control. Since the project's completion, DGC has achieved lower process temperatures under the same chiller load, improving the gas purification process and extending the life of the catalyst by reducing sulfur levels.

Races that can Learn this
- Half-Breed
- Saiyan
- Kaio
- All randomly from Kaioken King Kai
How to Learn
If you have the Northern Orb quest item on you then you can say 'teach me' to North Kaio and he will spawn Kaioken King Kai one to the south. Kaioken King Kai will randomly use kaioken on you during the fight and you have a very small chance to learn it when you are struck. After a certain amount of time Kaioken King Kai will despawn and you must go about spawning him again.
Kaioken is an ability that you may use to buff yourself in combat. To
trigger kaioken, you simply activate the ability and it will begin taking
effect. Kaioken will constantly drain ki while it is active, in return for
giving the user an extra attack in combat. This can result in 3 attacks per
round if coupled with a Rage Burst attack. The longer you stay in kaioken, the
higher level of the ability you will reach, and the more ki it will drain. Ki
is drained every 4 seconds at a steady rate, and you reach a new level of
Kaioken every minute. There are 6 levels of Kaioken before the ki drain per 4
seconds maxes out. If you drop below 5% of your maximum ki during kaioken, you
will explode and die without warning. You cannot swallow a senzu bean while in
kaioken, and when you come out of kaioken the 10 minute senzu bean timer will take
effect. You must be at max ki to use kaioken.
Each level of Kaioken will increase the max damage cap of your auto-hits by 1,000.
Each level of Kaioken when used by a Kaio will increase the damage of their Elbow, Knee, Uppercut and Roundhouse.
Ki Cost
Kaioken 1 takes .3% ki every 4 seconds
Kaioken 2 takes .5% ki every 4 seconds
Kaioken 3 takes .7% ki every 4 seconds
Kaioken 4 takes .9% ki every 4 seconds
Kaioken 5 takes 1.2% ki every 4 seconds
Kaioken 6-10 takes 1.5% ki every 4 seconds
<syntax> kaioken (using again wll turn it off)
