text: Greg Rodriguez - January 03, 2011 Browning's Silver Hunter Triumphs Browning bragged on the reliability of its new Silver Hunter autoloader, so Greg called them on it with an 1,100-round field test. By Greg Rodriguez I first learned of Browning's Silver Hunter in, of all places, a camp high in the mountains of British Columbia where I was hunting mountain goats with Browning's Scott Grange. As is often the case when Grange and I get together, the talk turned to shotguns. Eventually, we got around to the high cost of good semiautomatics.The author put 1,100 rounds of 12-gauge target loads through the Browning Silver in about 3 hours. The author and his helpers were sore, but the gun was no worse for wear.Grange and I discussed Browning's popular Gold line as well as the then-new Silver Hunter. He was honest about reliability issues with early versions of the Gold Hunter and went into great detail about how Browning's engineers fixed those problems with a little help from some very expensive high-speed cameras. As several experienced sporting clays competitors I know can attest, those problems are long gone, and all the research that went into fixing those early issues paid off big time in subsequent offerings, such as the Winchester Super X3 and the Browning Silver Hunter. The Silver Hunter Browning's newest autoloader, the Silver line, is built on an aluminum- alloy frame and employs a gas-operated, semiautomatic action. With several stock and finish options, as well as a few 3 1/2-inch variants, you can have your Silver just about any way you want it as long as it's a 12 gauge. I chose to evaluate the classic wood-stocked Silver Hunter with 3-inch chamber and 28-inch barrel.

It has a nice, trim profile that fits nicely in my small hands. The receiver has a bevel near the back of the receiver, then flows neatly into the stock. The top of the receiver has a distinctive semi-humpback design that is reminiscent of the old Browning Auto 5, albeit on a smaller scale. Just below and to the front of the ejection port is a carrier-release button. An unusual, oversized triangular safety button with a knurled surface lies just behind the trigger guard that houses the classic Browning gold trigger.The Silver Hunter's barrel has an attractive deep-blue finish and a fairly light profile. It has a ventilated rib with a white bead out front. The rib, a semi-humpback design, and the serrated receiver top make for an eye-catching sight picture. The barrel is threaded for Browning's Invector-Plus choke tubes, three of which come with the gun (IC, M, F).The heart of the Silver Hunter is its self-adjusting Active Valve gas system. As with most gas systems, the Browning system directs gas from fired shells through ports in the barrel to the gas piston. The gases move the piston and gas sleeve rearward, which forces the bolt to the rear and operates the action. Active Valve differs from competing systems in that it doesn't direct any more gas than is needed back into the action.When shooting light loads, the Active Valve system uses most of the expended gases to operate the action. With magnum loads, Active Valve only uses as much gas as necessary to operate the action and vents the rest through the Active Valve, out the top of the forearm, and away from the receiver for clean, reliable operation.Because the gas piston and Active Valve operate independently, less pressure is exerted on the gas piston. This amounts to greater longevity and more efficient operation than many competing models. The Active Valve expels unnecessary gases out the front rather than driving them back towards the shooter; therefore, it significantly reduces felt recoil, which means faster follow-ups and greater all-day shooting comfort on the clays range or in the duck blind. The test gun had an attractive walnut stock with a satin finish and well-executed checkering. The wood was dark and attractive, although somewhat straight-grained. It had a satin finish, rather than the traditional Browning gloss. The stock was capped with a cushy, 1-inch ventilated recoil pad. Length of pull was 14.25 inches.The author was impressed with the Silver Hunter's excellent wood-to-metal fit.Special TouchesSo far, the Silver sounds pretty much like the rest of Browning's autoloaders. But Browning did make a few changes to simplify the Silver line, thereby making it less expensive and possibly even more reliable, despite its lower price tag.First, Browning's engineer borrowed the one-piece carrier from sister company Winchester's Super X3. The SX3 has enjoyed an enviable reputation for reliability, so Browning's engineers studied the SX3 on high-speed film and decided that its simpler one-piece carrier was one of the keys to its reliability.However, the one-piece carrier does not allow the speed-loading feature the Browning Gold shotgun utilizes. Still, the speed-loading system is something I can live without if it means more reliability.A DIRTY JOB I could have left the gun as-is and wiped off the exterior for photographs after my 1,100-round shootout, but my conscience wouldn't let me. I had to give the Silver Hunter a thorough cleaning before I could get a good night's sleep. Fortunately, the miracles of modern chemistry made clean-up a snap.I do not use cleaner-degreasers as a matter of course, but they are a huge help when cleaning up any gun that's been neglected or subjected to a high round count without a cleaning. I used the Brownells TCE Cleaner Degreaser to clean up the Silver Hunter. A few blasts from the aerosol can were all I needed to make the working parts sparkle.Next, I used Birchwood Casey Barrel Boss and a bit of Brownells Shotgun Wad Solvent to clean the bore. I used Briley's excellent Turbo Choke Cleaner liberally soaked with Wad Solvent to scrub the chokes, and then I followed up with a few passes of the Barrel Boss soaked with Shooter's Choice.Finally, I lubricated the working parts with Shooter's Choice. Be sure to lubricate liberally after using a cleaner-degreaser because it strips all the lubricant off the metal; you are literally starting with bare steel. --Greg RodriguezSome of the Silver's other changes are less noticeable. For example, the cartridge stop is built into the cartridge latch rather than on the slide. Also, the Silver's action does not have to maintain a delicate balance between the action spring and the magazine spring. These features combine to prevent the shells in the magazine from trying to open the action when the shotgun is resting on its butt.Putting It To The TestI really liked the Silver Hunter. The 7.5-pound gun felt good in my hands, and it fit surprisingly well, despite the fact that the length of pull was a half-inch too long for my short, stocky frame. I was anxious to put it through its paces--but not in a conventional manner.Grange really emphasized the Silver Hunter's reliability when we first talked about the gun, so I decided to put his claims to the test and try to make the review gun cry "uncle." I called up Winchester Ammunition and had them send over four cases of Winchester's superb AA clays loads for my little experiment. If 1,000 rounds without cleaning or lubrication didn't stop the test gun, I reasoned, nothing would.At the first opportunity, I took the Silver Hunter to the Rio Brazos shooting preserve near Simonton, Texas, to test it on hard-flying chukars and sporting clays. Some may have negative images of preserve birds, but the Rio Brazos's birds fly fast and hard, and the sporting clays course there is an ever-changing nightmare for even the most experienced clays shooters. Fortunately, manager Robert Young keeps a special "corporate" course for more challenged shooters like yours truly.I started out the day hunting with my friend John Wood. I am not sure how many rounds of game loads I fired, but it had to be at least 100 based on the number of birds we shot. The Silver Hunter handled nicely and came up quickly, which certainly contributed to my excellent hit rate.After a hearty lunch, I drove over to the clays course with Young and another friend, James Jeffrey, who offered to lend me his considerable shoulder for the duration of the endurance test. Since I had already fired a little over 100 rounds through the gun and still had 1,000 rounds to go, I sprayed a bit of FP-10 into the action before opening up the first case and bringing on the pain. To get a better feel for the gun, Jeffrey and I fired Young's corporate course with the Silver Hunter. We fired 200 rounds at a pretty good clip, and the gun didn't even stutter.Before beginning the 1,100-round shootout, the author sprayed FP-10 lubricant into the Browning Silver's action.Next, we opened all the cases and commenced to shootin'. I fired the first 100 rounds--half at clay targets and half into a small hill across the pond. Next, Jeffrey fired four boxes into the hill. We fired all the rounds as fast as we could load the gun, yet the gun didn't falter. A closer examination revealed that the Silver Hunter was not as dirty or hot as I would have expected. That's clear evidence of the Active Valve sending unused gas and gunk out the front of the gun rather than back into the action.The gun was still working fine, so we took turns loading and shooting as fast as we could. At about round 600, my "friend" Jeffrey said he'd had enough. "Maybe your job isn't so great," he opined. No kidding.Fortunately, Young was game for a little bit of shooting, so we kept going. At round 670, the Silver started to feel a bit balky. It continued to run, but I couldn't help but think its flawless run was about to end. Then, as suddenly as it started, the clunky feeling disappeared, and the gun continued on without missing a beat. I can only assume that whatever piece of crud was binding the action worked its way out somehow.All told, we fired 1,000 rounds of sporting clays loads and about 100 rounds of field loads without cleaning the shotgun. Through it all, the Silver Hunter performed flawlessly. Jeffrey and Young were a big help, but I still ended up running more than half those rounds myself in less than 3 hours. My head ached, my neck was a bit sore, and my thumb looked like it had been run through a meat grinder. But the gun was no worse for wear.After digesting 1,100 rounds, the Browning Silver Hunter's mechanism was not as filthy as the author expected. The Active Valve gas system expelled excess gas and gunk out the forearm rather than back into the action.After taking a few Advil, I gave the Silver Hunter a thorough examination. The inside of the action was dirty, but it was not as filthy as I expected it to be, based on my experience with other brands of shotguns. The bolt was a bit tougher to pull back than it was before the shootout began, but the stiffness was not enough to be a bother, and it disappeared after I cleaned and lubed the gun.Further disassembly revealed a dirty bolt carrier and gas piston, but both parts were in better condition than I expected. The trigger group was also surprisingly clean. Mechanically, everything worked as well as it did when I started, and the cosmetic stuff cleaned up pretty easily.I test a great many guns. At the conclusion of my testing, I weigh the pros and cons of each gun. In the end, it always comes down to one question: "Would I buy one?"Browning's Silver Hunter certainly possesses many of the qualities I admire in a shotgun. It is reliable, feels good in my hands, has some smart design features like the Active Valve gas system, and is attractive to my eye. And perhaps most importantly in my book, it is a great value. I may not purchase the test gun just yet, but next time I'm in the market for a sporting shotgun, you can bet that Browning's Silver Hunter will be at the top of the list.

No Success for Peter Gauweiler's applications against the ratification of the EU Constitution
Federal Constitutional Court - Press Office
Press Release No 35/2005 dated 28 April 2005
No Success for Peter Gauweiler's applications against the ratification of the EU Constitution
The Second Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the application under the dispute between organs procedure directed against the Bundestag and did not accept the constitutional complaint for decision. This also disposed of the applications for the grant of a temporary injunction made at the same time.
Facts of the Case:
The applicant and complainant is a Member of the German Bundestag. He opposes the decision of the Council of Elders of the German Bundestag to give a second and third reading to the German Act of Ratification of a Constitution for Europe and hold a vote, all to take place on 12/13 May 2005. In his capacity as a Member of the German Bundestag, he feels that this decision violates his right in Art 38 para 1 sentence 2 Basic Law, and he asserts that the intended Ratification Act cannot be reconciled with the constitution and the principles of the state (dispute between organs procedure). As a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany, he claims that his basic rights to political freedom in Art 2 para 1 Basic Law and to representation by the German Bundestag in Art 38 para 1 sentence 2 have been violated. He further states that he can rely on the right to resistance in Article 20 para 4 Basic Law, which is equivalent to a basic right (constitutional complaint).
In essence the decision is based on the following reasons:
2. The constitutional complaint is inadmissible. It was held that only the Ratification Act itself constitutes a suitable subject of the constitutional complaint, not the earlier stages, when it is read and voted upon in the German Bundestag. In this respect, an act of public authority which might infringe the rights of the complainant is missing. Reading and voting are integral parts of legislative procedure. They do not create any direct effect on the citizen.
The Court found that there is just as little ground for the complainant's opposition to the fact that the German Bundestag deals with this matter at all and places it on its agenda. The decision of the Council of Elders does not generate any legally relevant effect on the citizen.
It was held that the possibility of lodging a constitutional complaint against the Act of Ratification of the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe immediately after conclusion of the legislative procedure in the Bundestag and Bundesrat, before certification and promulgation, ensures that the complainant's interests are adequately taken into account. For instance, the Federal President declared in the constitutional court proceedings regarding the Act of Ratification of the Maastricht Treaty that he would not sign the instrument of ratification until the Federal Constitutional Court had decided the main proceedings. Likewise, the Federal Government assured in those proceedings that, for the time being, it would not deposit the instrument of ratification.
Decision dated 28 April 2005
Karlsruhe, 28 April 2005

The ever-changing size and shape of Lake Cerknica make the area a true paradise for explorations by boat. Each visit reveals something new. Rowing along the stream bed surrounded by trš'ca (reeds) when the lake is half-full provides pleasure to every boating enthusiast.
The traditional boat of Lake Cerknica is called drevak, without which the life in the past would be impossible. Among other things, it was used to transport cargo and even cattle. Until a road was built to the village of Otok in the early 20th century, the villagers had been fully dependent on those magnificent boats. Even though they have been replaced by cheaper vessels, it is still possible to take drevak rides on the lake.
Since Lake Cerknica is home to numerous endangered animal species, rowing is limited in the area. Before you take your boat to the lake, carefully read the boating regime (in short: you can paddle on the area, marked with green, or on Stržen stream bed) and check the water level. Boating areas and warnings are also marked on the spot.
If you don't have your own boat, you can rent one or take a guided tour of the lake – by canoe or drevak.

Eleven official languages are recognised in the constitution. English is commonly used in public and commercial life, it is only the fifth most-spoken home language. All ethnic and language groups have political representation in the country's constitutional democracy comprising a parliamentary republic; unlike most parliamentary republics, the positions of head of state and head of government are merged in a parliament-dependent President.The history of South Africa is marked deeply by the prolonged struggle for freedom from Apartheid (legalized race division in all sectors of life) which was finally won with the support of many countries. Nelson Mandela became the world's most famous ex prisoner and president. He and De Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 in recognition of their work towards the end of one of the worst types of governance ever to occur in world history. Music and poetry played a big role in the liberation of South Africa. Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba and many others went into exile and sang against injustice with many. Writer Alan Paton's Cry, the Beloved Country was the book that left many a young African emotionally disturbed by the situation in South Africa. Writers such as Dennis Brutus, Alex Laguma, Peter Abrahams, Steve Biko opened vast panoramas in their works against apartheid. About 79.5% can be divided among a variety of ethnic groups speaking different Bantu languages, nine of which have official status.South Africa is ranked as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank, one of only four countries in Africa in this category (the others being Botswana, Gabon and Mauritius) About a quarter of the population in abject poverty.

Fall is by far the best season to start or grow an existing therapy practice.
Clients are returning from vacations, people start to get the work blues, students need support, seasonal affective disorders can kick in, basically, clients will seek out your help in greater numbers than any other time of year.
So, how do you leverage this time of year to fill your practice with new clients and have a waitlist.
Here are 9 steps to leverage the fall rush so you can focus on what you love…working with clients and making money at it:
- Make a Plan: I learned this one the hard way too many times. If you don't have a solid plan, you are much less likely to succeed. Create a plan with goals, action steps, a calendar, metrics, and an evaluation process.
- Prioritize Your Tasks: Since action steps are a part of your plan you will need to prioritize them in order of what will deliver the most results. Using your calendar choose a handful of actions each day that you are going to act on that will bring you closer to your goals. Prioritize them so you complete the action that has the most likelihood of helping you succeed. That way if you don't complete your task list, and need to finish it another day, you are still operating in the most effective and efficient way possible.
- Use Technology: I love using technology to keep me on task and on track. Remember, you are a solo-entrepreneur. No one's going to do this for you. There is no organization tracking your progress. I use the app Asana in my business. It's a great way to prioritize tasks, mark them as complete, and look at the overall progress of your actions.
- Take Action Everyday: Most people get stuck thinking about building their practice and don't focus on the most important activity you could do. Take action over and over. Never underestimate this one. The more actions you take that are effective, the more likely you will fill your practice in a quick time frame.
- Leverage Your Niche: So it's the fall rush. There are many reasons why therapy practices are usually fuller during this period. If you understand your niche and why they would seek out therapy in the fall then you can figure out how to find these prospective clients. For instance, if you work with college students it's time to hit the pavement and go to your local university, flyer in strategic areas, engage in social media where the students hang out, make some new contacts at the schools, re-engage with old contacts, etc.
- Increase Your Ad Spend: Paid advertising is useful. However, there is actually no reason to pump a bunch of money into ads during seasons where clients are not wanting therapy such as August. I usually suggest lowering ad spends in August to save your money, because even the clients who call in August usually don't start until September. However, September is a great month to increase ad spends. Large companies adjust their ad spends based on demand. And there's no reason you won't benefit from the same practice. Once September hits, pump some more money into ads that have worked for you. They will likely work even better.
- Create a New Lead Magnet: A lead magnet is a free piece of content that you offer your website visitors in order to get their email address and start a relationship with them. Many prospective clients are fishing for a therapist for weeks or months before they actually make the first call. By having their email address, you can send them blogs that help them, which, in turn, will allow you to build a relationship with them. Make a lead magnet that addresses the type of problems people in your niche face in the fall.
- Post a New Video: Video is by far one of the most engaging forms of media online. Similar to creating a new lead magnet, record a new video that addresses the problem and solutions prospective clients are facing as the fall approaches. Place your video on your website, in social media, and send it to your list.
- Get on the Phone: Yeah, I know, not many people like picking up the phone these days. It's so much easier to txt, vox, snapchat, and whatever else. A good old fashion phone call goes a long way. During the next couple of months make one phone call a day to outreach old and new referral sources. Imagine the possibilities if you really followed through on this.
Make a plan. Take action. Leverage the upcoming fall rush. And you will reach your goals faster than you think.

If you think you don't need a pick-up truck in your life, you're very very wrong.
The last time I had a long-term test of a pick-up truck was in 1999. A double cab Toyota Hilux with double roof tents and a fridge freezer. 15,000 kilometres through Namibia, Botswana and South Africa over what I considered at the time to be pretty 'out there' in terms of adventuring. It was a tried and tested and Toyota had absolutely nothing to fear. They knew they were the market leaders in that field and not many people had the audacity to think they had a credible answer to this beast.
Roll forwards 20 years and the world is a different place.
The 'pick-up' is now the one-quiver workhorse of many a farmer, builder, event manager and property developer.
This winter, James and I have a monster pick-up on loan. Our job? – to test this beast and see if it really is suitable as a a snowmad's sports utility vehicle. This is part 1 in a series of blogs where we will test this monster IRL (as the kids say) and see what it's got to offer.
Enter the imposters
When any new car enters the market everyone has an opinion about whether it has a place there – should Aston Martin build a city car? Should SEAT have an SUV in their range? And who the heck are FIAT to be peddling a pick-up truck???
Well – not stupid is what they are. Trucks have seen a huge surge in popularity, not least of all because they're a neat tax swizz – officially a commercial vehicle but with the luxury interior of an upmarket SUV and the parkability of a Chelsea Tractor. So to all intents and purposes, a FIAT pickup truck is a pretty smart addition to their FIAT Professional range – the question is… does it stand up as a sporting vehicle?
We got our hands on this truck for a long-term test – not to see how if faired as a hod carrier or as a tow-truck for Princess Palomino the dressage pony, but whether in our lives as sporting, outdoors, uphill, downhill, all terrain overlanders, it has a place.
Fiat Fans
We need to caveat this entire post by saying that we're Fiat fans. Why? Because FIAT are our Rudyard Kipling tools.
'If you can keep your head when all about are losing theirs'….
This is what Fiats are to us. If you have followed our winter motorhome adventures for the last year you will know that absolutely everything on our van failed – apart from the chassis. A 2017 FIAT Ducato. In -26˚C at 2600m, it started first time, every time. It made our adventure possible, coupled with our Falken winter tyres it made short work of the hundreds of mountain switch backs we negotiated over 6 months – imagine – it made this look so easy so what is this 4WD jacked up and country pick-up capable of?
Good Decisions
I used to work at Volkswagen Group and if there's one thing I learned there it's that if you make something mint, stick another coat on it, sprinkle it with a brand identity and you've got yourself a winner. Without the development costs.
This is what FIAT have done with the Fullback range and there shouldn't be a single person who even considers criticising this decision… "it's just a Mitsubishi L200 with a FIAT badge" we hear those farmers and brickie's lament. Yes, it is – and it's cheaper and it looks smarter and it feels well, more like the kind of thing you'd take on a winter sporting adventure than a Mitsubishi.
Adventure Awaits
Each winter, James and I head off into the mountains – and have kind of developed a reputation for punishing any equipment we have. Sometimes this means testing it to destruction. If FIAT are reading this – be assured, your Fullback is still in one shiny piece!
Our objective – testing the FIAT Fullback Cross
This winter we've had a few goals and the FIAT Fullback seemed like the tool for the job. More winter aire and mountain reviews; more high altitude mountain passes; more switchbacks; more compact ice and snow; more snow sports; more kit; more testing equipment; and more mileage.
This season looked a bit different for us. Based on a homestead in a place affectionately known as 'Le Savage' in the Midi Pyrenees (France), we needed something a bit game to get about these badlands.
Here are the three standout stories of daring-do this beast has given us to dine out on so far.
The Tardis
Last year – the kit we took totalled somewhere in the region of 400kg and fit tidily into a plastic box of 52.5 sqaure metres. That's bigger than many London apartments.
Remove the snow shovel and the generator and we've brought pretty much the same kit this time around – and somehow managed to squeeze it into a pick-up bed and the back seats. We spent a good 6 hours on the journey south through France trying to fathom this feat, listing all the luggage we'd loaded but, in the end, resolved to just put it down to some sort of Italian magic.
Mme Gaston and The Marigold Incident
We tested the 4WD at Avon Dassett Country Park – just to see how all the buttons worked and what kind of performance we could expect if we found ourselves in a fix in some extreme overlanding incident. Needless to say, our first requirement for the full capabilities of this off-road beast was not a Dakar Rally-esque moment, but to get back on a road that we unceremoniously slipped off at 45˚… annihilating Mme Gaston's prize winning marigold collection.
Much to our shame, we were encouraged to keep this incident secret, allowing the fuming (and somewhat devastated septuagenarian) to believe that it was the crime of an anonymous (and spineless) delivery driver. Still – remarkable that the Fullback made such swift work of the extraction – even before the village busy-body managed to make sense of the situation!
Like a 'members only' sign outside a swanky Soho establishment, there's something very satisfying about seeing a road sign the prohibits all but the most capable of vehicles. The mountain pass from the Biros Valley over to Seix crosses one of the highest passes in the Ariège region, affords spectacular views from the saddle and has just one such sign 'ROUTE BARRÉE' with small print that reads… 'accessible en 4×4 seulement'.
WOOHOOOOOOOO! I think perhaps the only way this road would be more fun is if you were on some sort of luge with all the jeopardy of careering off the side at any point. However, the Fullback Cross sauntered up this mountain pass as if it were a Sunday stroll around a National Trust garden. Quite unremarkable effort for the FIAT but made what would otherwise have been a white knuckle ride for me (who is growing increasingly uncomfortable with cliff edged roads and scenic chasms), pretty enjoyable!
Fiat Fullback Cross – The verdict so far: All purpose mountain beast.
Next time we'll be looking at some of the more practical features of the FIAT Fullback Cross through the eyes of snowmads.

As a family, we love to try new things. During our big trip, we've tried our hand at snorkeling, horseback riding in Mexico, and even taking Mexican cooking classes in Puerto Vallarta. Recently, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, we decided to try beginner paddle board lessons, something that was completely new to us.
We partnered with Xiutla Riders to do paddle board lessons. It was such a blast, and I have to say, I'm officially hooked. Even my kids enjoyed their time riding on the paddle board with us. I foresee us doing a stand up paddle board rental the next time we're in a destination with water activities.

What is stand up paddle boarding?
Stand up paddle boarding is a relatively new water sport, with a bit of a muddled history. But its roots trace back many millennia. Historical records depict people in Egypt, Polynesia, even Peru, standing up and paddling on various forms of floating crafts. Even in Hawaii, the birthplace of surfing, surfers sometimes used paddles when they surfed on the waves.
But the actual sport of stand up paddle board, where riders stand on extra large surf boards and paddle across bodies of water, was invented in 2001. That was when surfer, Laird Hamilton, created a paddle that was designed for paddling while standing up on a surf board. Thus began the sport of paddle boarding.
Since then, paddle boarding has grown in popularity, due in part to how easy it is to learn. These days, the boards are much larger and heavier than surf boards, to provide a bit more stability in the water. Beginner paddle board lessons abound, in destinations all around the world with any proximity to water. And here in Mexico, we've seen paddle board lessons in every beach town we've visited.
Where to find paddle board lessons in Puerto Vallarta
My husband and I have always been interested in taking paddle board lessons. For me, surfing was always a sport I wanted to try, but the thought of crashing on big waves often scared me. So stand up paddle boarding seemed like a happy medium.
While in Puerto Vallarta, my husband and I decided to take advantage of the availability of water sports, and try out some paddle board lessons. There are a few places in Puerto Vallarta that provide lessons for beginner paddle board enthusiasts. However, we decided to go with a company called Xiutla Riders for our paddle board lessons. They offer beginner paddle board lessons for $36 per person.
Learning beginner paddle board with Xiutla Riders
Xiutla Riders is a locally-owned adventure tour company based in Puerto Vallarta. Their store is located just a block away from Playa Camarones, north of the Malecon, Puerto Vallarta's main beach walkway. Owner, Fernando, runs the company with the help of his family.
When we came for our paddle board lesson, we were met by Fernando's son, Juan Carlos, and his cousin, Diego. Juan Carlos gave us a quick lesson on how to stand up and sit down on the board, as well as a few pointers on how to stay balanced while out on the water. Then we were off, paddling in the water, with Diego leading the way on his board!
Our tour was about two hours long. We spent the time paddling back and forth along the beach, about twenty meters from the shore. Since our kids are too small to navigate their own boards, we had them ride on our boards. Being a novice to stand up paddle boarding, I was initially nervous about falling in the water. But after a few minutes of standing and paddling, I was feeling pretty confident on my board. I didn't even fall off once, unlike my husband, who fell in the water several times!
Beginner paddle board tips
Stand up paddle boarding is actually not too hard to pick up. And kids will love it because it gets you out in the water. If you're interested in trying out paddle boarding with your kids, here are a few beginner paddle board tips to get you out on your board confidently!
#1: Focus on keeping your balance
The key to stand up paddle boarding is balance. You need to maintain your balance on the board, or else you'll fall in the water. Pay attention to where you're seated on the board, to make sure the weight is not too much on one side of the board. If you're paddle boarding with a child, have them sit at the front of the board, and adjust your position so that the weight is evenly distributed. If you're doing a paddle board lesson, your guide can help you find the perfect position on the board.
#2: Keep your feet and body facing forward
For beginner paddle board riders, it's important to keep your feet and body facing forward. This goes back to the tip on maintaining balance. A slight shift in your feet, or a quick turn of your head can cause you to lose your balance and fall off your board!
#3: Slow and steady is okay
If you're still learning to paddle board, it's helpful to take it slow. Like the tortoise from the story of the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady is okay. During your beginner paddle board session, take your time when you're paddling. Rushing or paddling fast could throw you off balance and increase your risk of falling off. Enjoy the calm of gliding across the water.
#4: Have the kids wear life vests
One of the most important things when you're doing beginner paddle board lessons is water safety. For the kids, this means having them wear child size life vests. Even if your kids are strong swimmers, life vests will help them stay afloat if they fall off the board.
#5: Fall away from the board
Speaking of falling, one of the beginner paddle board tips that Juan Carlos shared with us during our paddle board lesson was how to fall off the board. To avoid injury, it's important to fall away from the board, and not on the board. The paddle boards are heavy, and in the water, they can get jostled around when you fall off. If you feel yourself falling, remember to move your body away from the board to keep yourself from getting hurt.
Lessons, stand up paddle board rental, and more with Xiutla Riders
We enjoyed our time with Xiutla Riders, so much so that we came back a few days later to do some stand up paddle boarding on our own. Xiutla Riders offers stand up paddle board rental for one hour at $12 per hour, per board. You can also rent a paddle board for the whole day at $45 per board.
Besides offering paddle board lessons and stand up paddle board rental, Xiutla Riders also offers surfing lessons. And for those interested in land activities, Xiutla Riders offers ATV tours. In addition, Xiutla Riders does hourly or all-day bike rentals, ranging from $4 to $28, depending on the length of the rental.
I'm so glad we took the time to learn how to paddle board. We're now completely hooked. For me, it's just another way to enjoy being out in the water and to stay active with the family!

Ditto Digsby 15 Mar 1999 – 28 Sep 2015
Yesterday Ditto died. I came home from work and he was gone.
Yesterday morning I got mad at him when he had accidents indoors, but before I went to work, we did our forehead to forehead thing and I told him I wasn't mad at him and I loved him and told him "You is a Ditto very good Ditto baby good boy". I've been saying that to him all his life, with our foreheads pressed together. That was the last time I talked to him. 24 hours ago.
Today I'm taking him to be creamated and we'll scatter his ashes in our yard.
He was the best dog ever.
I will never ever forget him.
Nuke Att
Ashy the new cat is here! She's a real cutie! So far things are going well.
Ashy and Sheba are giving each other their space. Sheba is more eager to be friends than Ashy.
Weird thing happened this weekend. Saturday morning I went to feed our outdoor cats and their bowls were gone. Usually I stack them up and put two scuba weights in them. We found them later, and the weights near the fence, like something dragged the bowls and weights to the fence and couldn't get them under.
Freeky deeky!
New Cat Friday
This week was NOT fast like the previous two. I'll be glad to get home tonight after work.
We're getting a new cat tonight, an indoor cat. The lady is bringing her over tonight and we'll see how she (the cat) gets on with the dogs. We've set up a kennel for the cat to spend her days in, and hopefully she won't jump off the balcony.
The Wife has already named the cat Ashley. She's been looking for a grey cat for along, coming to the conclusion that there were none on the island, when Ashley shows up at the Ritz.
So we'll see how it goes.
Have a good weekend!
…living on the far side of the moon your whole life, never knowing there was a huge planet out of sight on the other side of the globe beneath your feet.
What if you were an astronomer living on the far side of the moon, trying to explain why the sun behaved so strangely, not aware that it was the moon acting under the influence of Earths gravity?
On the moon, there is only one sunrise and sunset per month, and the stars are always visible, even in daytime. The sky is always black and full full full of stars, probably more stars than we've ever seen on Earth. You'd see all of the planets we see, except Earth.
Think what it would be like, living on the far side of the moon.
A Cat Drinking Water
I tried to post from my phone, but WordPress isn't set up on it yet, so I emailed this photo to my tablet and I'm posting it here. The Wife has found a new cat she wants, an indoor cat. We'll get her if we can. We have two dogs and five cats already, but the cats are all outdoor cats. The dogs are indoors.
Bad headache this morning. My neck. Owie! Plus bad brain damage from sleeping.
Ciao for now!

In this webinar you'll learn the 3 Keys to get back into the groove of being true to you and feeling alive again.
There are certain thresholds we must pass through to achieve authenticity and maintain it- it's not a "one-and-done" deal.
It takes devotion and commitment to yourself and your sacred purpose.
I'll share my 3 New Keys so you can live your true life
and avoid these 3 Soul-sucking traps:
1~ fear of what others will think of you when you show up authentically
2~ doubt that you're crazy so you stop trying to stuff yourself into the same cookie-cutter that everyone else thinks is fine and acceptable
3~ complacency and comfort zone that can end your enthusiasm to live Your Great Big Life
This all takes courage, and in The 3 Keys to Being Authentic and Happy webinar, I'll show you how to infuse yourself with that.
Register here.
Being our authentic self is a gift- and I will be so bold as to say that it is the only true way to ultimate happiness.
I'll share from my personal experience of betraying myself and how to rise and live your one true life filled purpose with promise, hope, and dreams come true.

The number of shares a corporation is authorized by its charter to issue, but which have not yet been issued to stockholders. Also known as "unissued stock."
When a corporation files registration paperwork in order to receive recognition as an independent legal entity, it is required to outline the number of shares the corporation is allowed to issue. If after this registration paperwork is completed the corporation decides that it wants to be able to issue more shares overall, this change must be formally reflected in an amendment to the corporate formation documentation. At any given time, this stated number serves as the maximum number of shares that MAY be issued in a corporation, not the number of shares that MUST be issued.
There are many reasons why a corporation may choose to issue a number of shares fewer than the maximum allowed by its charter. For example, it may wish to maintain the strength of shares that have been issued so far or may wish to reserve a number of shares allowed to be issued during an initial public offering. The formula used to calculate "shares authorized but unissued" is very simple: (shares authorized by a charter minus shares formally issued to stockholders = shares authorized but unissued). These shares do not become active (ie: entitled to dividends, entitled to cast shareholder votes in elections, etc.) until they are formally issued and owned by shareholders.
Executive One: "You're telling me that because our charter states that we can issue 10,000 shares but we have only issued 1,000 that we can issue 9,000 shares at virtually any time?"
Accountant: "Technically, yes. But it is important to be cautious because every time a share authorized but unissued hits the market, it will dilute the strength of the original 1,000 issued shares."

As many of you probably already know, the National Order of the Arrow committee has made a few policy changes recently after their recent national committee meeting. Please click here to view the original message from the national committee.
First, the time requirement for Ordeals before they can seal their membership in Brotherhood has been reduced from 10 months to 6 months. Otherwise, the requirements for Brotherhood have not functionally changed. This eligibility requirement has not been updated into Lodgemaster at the current moment, but we have contacted the national membership committee to seek an answer to this query. This may mean you will want to change when you have certain events to accommodate the ability to assist in the Brotherhood Conversion rate.
Second, Lodge Journey to Excellence has been discontinued and replaced with the new Performance Measurement Program. Check out the new Performance Measurement Program Sheet. That being said, the requirements remain very similar to almost exact of what the new 2019 JTE was, however, the point system has changed and there are only Thriving and High Performing Categories. We are going to try and help each and every one of the Lodge in Section C-5b attain the High Performing Lodge Distinction over the next year. This will be filled out at the end of the year during recharter, similar to how Lodge JTE was previously filled out.
Finally, the national committee has asked the Section to expand its role from hosting just a conclave to helping each lodge become high performing in addition to the conclave. The Section Leadership is making a determination on how exactly we will expand our help to each of our lodges, but here is what we can tell you now:
We are going to make every effort to visit each lodge at least once. These visits are going to change however from just Section Officers showing their faces to more of a performance review and trying to bring new techniques to help each lodge succeed. There is nothing wrong with new and outside ideas, and we want these visits to help bring that.
We will also be working with the Lodge Chiefs and Lodge Executive Committees of each of our Lodges to provide them with the right support to succeed and the proper resources to become high performing. This may include visits and or phone calls on a more frequent basis as well as performance reviews of LEC meetings.
Overall, we are going to try and make data-driven analysis of our lodges to try and make every lodge high performing and provide them with the proper recourses to succeed. This may include more events, more trainings, more visits, more chairman, and more involvement on the section level and the Section Officers, Advisers and Leadership team will be doing their best to make this a reality for each of our lodges.
Be on the lookout for more information coming from the Section Leadership over the next few months with updates on these policy changes, and continue to remind your lodges of the available positions at the section level. If we band together and strive to be high performing, there is nothing that can stand in our way.
If you have any questions about these new policies or how the section is going to help your lodge, please feel free to reach out to any member of the Section leadership team. Joe Ward, our Section Chief, is off on Philmont Staff currently, so he may have limited availability to communicate with Arrowmen right now. Section C-5B wants to provide its Lodges with a great amount of support in this time of change and improvement in the Order of the Arrow.
In Brotherhood,
Your Section Officers
Joe Ward – email@example.com
Brian Blood – firstname.lastname@example.com

President Trump's decision yesterday to slash protections for Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments, the largest rollback of federal land protection ever, is simply awful.
Ever since the days of Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. Presidents have used the Antiquities Act to protect some of our nation's most outstanding historical and culturally significant public lands and waters. The Grand Canyon and the Statue of Liberty are among the sites designated under the century-old law. Over the decades, Presidents of both parties have used the Act 129 times to grant a legacy of natural and cultural resource protection for the benefit of Americans. One half of all national parks started as national monuments.
Over the last year, we've been a witness to a slow-motion attack on America's national parks, public lands and our ocean. Now, the attacks are a full-on assault on our nation's historical, cultural and natural heritage. As recreational users, we must speak out for laws like the Antiquities Act that allow our nation's greatest resources to be protected for future generations.
What's next? Well, the published secret memo from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to President Trump detailed recommendations to both shrink and reduce protections for national monuments. Among the ten monuments targeted for diminished protection are three ocean designations, including one off New England and two in the Pacific Ocean. The memo recommends opening the Northeast Canyons & Seamounts monument to commercial fishing, while reducing the size of the Pacific Remote Islands and Rose Atoll monuments (and possibly opening both to commercial fishing and offshore drilling.)
These marine monuments are full of amazing natural, cultural and recreational resources - worthy of protecting, right? 99% of the public agree as expressed in the four-month public process. Given the many threats facing our ocean, this is hardly the time to roll back protections.
This is for certain: Surfrider and our network of 150+ chapters and clubs will not back down. And neither should you. Tell your Congress member to stop this assualt on our natural world and defend our marine monuments. A simple 5 minute action can help protect these marine treasures for a lifetime.
Together, we will continue to fight for what is right - and what our past leaders so thoughtfully did - to protect our natural world for today, tomorrow and every generation that follows.

A teenager shows up at your house--, a teenager you've never met. She'll be staying for the next 9 months. Her understanding of the United States comes primarily from TV and Facebook. Your understanding of her culture comes from Google.
Hosting a foreign exchange student can be a little awkward. Learning how to make a foreign exchange student feel welcome, however, can turn awkwardness into awesomeness.
How to Make a Foreign Exchange Student Feel Welcome
Orientation. Start by orienting your exchange student to her new home. Show her the bedroom, the bathroom, and other common areas. Show her where to keep her things. Try to get your exchange student into your routine—dinner time, homework time, bedtime—but be sympathetic. Your new arrival may have just taken a long trip and is undoubtedly tired and disoriented. If you can provide a table or chart, something with visuals, it could help the first few days. It also makes sense to stick to the routines you outline. Consistency is the easiest way to build habit.
Expectations. Once your exchange student gets settled in, one of the first things you need to do is establish expectations and rules. Things that are acceptable in your exchange student's home may not be acceptable in yours. Be clear on curfew, having friends over, alcohol use, etc. Be cognizant, however, that cultural norms in the country your exchange students comes from might be different than yours. In addition, make sure you're following the guidelines established by the exchange student coordinators. If you feel like you both need something to keep you accountable, a shared contract or agreement can distribute the burden so you both have things to work on.
Family. You already know how to make a foreign exchange student feel welcome. Treat him or her like a part of the family! Because, in essence, your foreign exchange student will be part of the family for the next several months. That means helping with homework, teaching accountability, giving rides, eating dinner together, giving support, and the million other things parents do for their children.
Siblings. Let siblings be siblings. When we hosted a high school student from China, we knew it would be a very difficult adjustment for everyone, everyone except my 6-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter. MySo as my two teenage children awkwardly tried to make connections those first few weeks but, the my two younger ones treated her just like they would their older siblings. Eventually, the teenagers came around, too, and the three became brothers and sisters as well.
Homesickness. It is inevitable. You can't eliminate it, but you can help relieve the emotional stress of homesickness. If your town has an international community that caters to your student's ethnic group, take her there. If not, make familiar foods, or even better, ask your exchange student to teach you how to make familiar foods. Although you'll want to allow your exchange student access to their home country via email, social media, or video chat to friends and family back home, you'll want to help your exchange student form a network of friends locally. That, in the end, will provide the cure for homesickness.
Space. It's important for exchange students to have their own space—their own room, desk, or private workplace—so they can regroup and recharge away from their "crazy American" host family. When we hosted a student from China, we were required to provide a private bedroom with a dresser and desk. Luckily, we had the space. If you don't have the space, do your best to help your exchange student feel they are entitled to and deserve a bit ofwelcome with a little bit of privacy.
Participation. One of our best memories of our exchange student's 9 months in our home was coaching her basketball team. Even if you have neither the time nor the knowledge to coach basketball, there are other ways to participate in your exchange student's life. Meet her friends. Go to parentt- teacher conferences. Attend sporting and other events. In other words, do those things you'd do for your own kids.
Culture. Your exchange student is obviously learning tons about your culture. Take advantage of hosting an exchange student and learn about her culture. A simple visit to Google, Bing, or Yahoo can teach you more about foreign culture in a few hours than your Social Studies teacher taught in a semester. Not sure the information i's accurate? No problem, you have a credible source in your home. Ask her.
Hosting a foreign exchange student provides wonderful experiences, notwithstanding the challenges of nurturing a young person far from home. Start off on the right foot by helping your exchange student feel welcome in her new home with these few tips..

Is there a ending to this other than you getting eaten?
T-Rex Breakout (Free Dinosaur Game)
Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
There is no ending yet.
so unity5games, did you ever fix your pc?
I need a new pc, fortunately I saved all my projects. I'll try to open the project on my laptop and if everything goes well I'll add press enter to play button.
awesome! Can't wait!
if it works, maybe the raptor one after?
it works! uploading it now.
I'll post raptors (in the kitchen) on this site when I polish the game.
I'll give it a try
But yes it is a nice game
How do you play it on a Chrome Book
Nice game
Mine has reallly low fps! How do i fix it?
Hi! I love all the Jurassic Games so far but what you really need to make is a Game where you have FREEROAM through the lockwood manor where your being chased by indoraptor and you need to make it really cool and realistic but also make it playable for laptops cuz this game is to realistic for my laptop :( but yeah making a freeroam lockwood manor game with indoraptor would be the best thing ive ever seen!!!
hi your games are best I love it more then gta 5 and pubg and if you make a survive free roam game it will be awesome and please make a compressed version too please replay me I am your big fan

hi your games are best I love it more then gta 5 and pubg and if you make a survive free roam game it will be awesome and please make a compressed version too please replay me I am your big
Hey i played your game for my channel :D
This is so WELL DONE!! I'm still waiting for the ENTER key to work so that I can play on the VIVE in VR as well! Can you please make this possible soon??
It's a very good start. However, there are some big immersion breaking things to address, if you intend to update the game.
1. I do love the way you have the feet animated in the way they press against the ground. Very impressive. But the way the walk animation slides out of pace is very immersion breaking. On top of that - and a much more difficult fix - is getting the t-rex to have proper turning animations. The best example of big dino beasts having amazing walking animations is Monster Hunter World, but that's gonna be a pain to try and mimic... but worth the effort.
2. The roads being blocked by forestry. It looks bad. I'd say get rid of that and make it so that they're possible exit points if you play right. Maybe can have one blocked off by fallen trees and rubble. Can make it so that if you hit a certain distance without being seen, you auto exit. But if he sees you, there's just a bunch of road to run down till he eats you.
3. AI pathing. Had the t-rex trying to walk through the cars to come sniff me.
4. Can clip through his feet. Once he has his back turn, you can basically do all sorts of goofing around, including hiding inside of his legs.
5. Can sprint to the exit for a clean getaway during the t-rex's opening animation. The best way to solve this would be to make it so the player can't leave the car until the animation is finished.
Again, what you have is a great start so far. With some more work, this can truly go great places. I have more critiques, but its more of smaller stuff.
This was such a cool game! Ive been wanting to play this game for so long and it lived up to my own hype :P
P.S. I found out you had a made a similar game but with the raptor kitchen scene. Any chance, you could redirect me to that game page as I couldn't find it on this site.
Thank you! Soon I will post a new update.
HERE is the raptor kitchen scene, enjoy :)
Hello Unity5! :)
I ´m a Houdini FX artist/TD, i believe i can help you (for free, i love JP!) with some things, on dinosaur mesh deformation, and all sorts of simulation, including, bone sliding, muscle volumes deformation and jiggling, and splashes, rain, water drops, mud simulation etc...
please, contact me on email@example.com
my vimeo stuff... vimeo.com/rodtd
WOW, this game is amazing... I need a full version of this :D You should make a Back to the Future simulation like this.
Hi, this was a very good game you made, but you should have added the flare that dr. Grant and ian throws, and after you throw the flare you half to get to the other side that leads out.
AWESOME... but, is there a way to escape or we need to die forcefully?
That T-rex was very detailed and real-looking! It was short, but very enjoyable.
ฅ/ᐠ。ᆽ。ᐟ \ Hello~
Twas nice seeing the dinosaur up close and personal. Seeing the way it interacted with the car with its increasing agitation when I was hiding was both a scary and fun experience for me. I just wish that this wasn't just a recreation of a movie scene as I would've loved to see it be longer, and maybe have an ending goal in mind as I can see how fun it'd be hopping from car to car to escape a dinosaur (or dinosaurs if that version were to be made).
Overall, great job on this~ It's a nifty game.
hi, when ever i try to download it, the file always sends me to "open file with" and i try to find something but when i close it the file automatically opens file with internet explorer and i won't open when i click on "open" is there any way i can fix this? if so thank you, because i have wanted to play this game for a long time.
install Win-Rar first
hello unity5games i playedyour game t-rex breakout and its soo cool because im big fan of jurassic park but when I was standing next to him he began to sniff me and he worked so continuously
hello unity5games i played your game t-rex breakout and its so cool because im big fan of jurassic park but when I was standing next to him he began to sniff me and he worked so continuously
hi there.
When I download this I get a message saying g folder 'T-Rex Breakout Demo_Data' is missing.
Can anyone assist?
Windows install
when it say's Demo_data is missing when you Extract it dont delete the folder because when you do it delete's all the data with it
I hoped this help :)
This is great ! I am waiting for more and VR (dualshock) Thank You
Hi Unity5games! This is a gift for you :-D Thanks for this awesome "playable scene" ;-) I've designed more that I want to send you via mail (if you want). Thank you very much!
why cant i install it
You need to use Win-Rar or Win-Zip to extract the file
i look to a real gamesnow.
theres a few things that could be improved; like the fact that in your game, the t-rex's iconic escape roar doesnt have the t-rex's mouth open as wide as in the film. Theres also the fact that you can continually loop the change seat animation by changing to the seat you're already in. The feet on the rex also glitched at one point, but i think i just had the graphics setting higher than my computer could comfortably handle at the time - so thats on me.
that being said, this is astoundingly beautiful and terrifying as fuck. 10/10, would get eaten by t-rex again.
Interesting game. It looks great, just wish there was more to it.
dude..... please do the original version....the demo was sooo gooood. You have a really good potential use it. Maybe you can make a game like this, for the virtual reality. I know is hard, but you know. WITHOUT SUFFERING NOT GLORY
hey unity 5, did you get your pc fixed yet? Still dying to play this in vr!
I will gladly donate a few bucks to this cause ;)
I still haven't tried this as I want to experience this only in VR.
Very soon! :) I'm also dying to make more of this.
It doesn't take that long to make it VR. You just need to download SteamVR in Unity and apply a camerarig into the scene.
Build again, and it's done
Have you tried with VorpX modifier?
I don't like vorpx. Your game would look and run better if it ran natively in vr without vorpx. It's already does but like I've said, I can't get past the menu
Great job! Would love to play more if you add anymore to it! Keep up the amazing work
LOVED IT!!!!! I wish there was a whole game like this. Super cool!
Hey! Really love your both playable scenes !! They are very very cool :-D How can I communicate with you in private?
What do you mean by "both playable Scenes"? There is another game like "T-Rex Breakout"???
Yes! There's a Kitchen one: http://www.mediafire.com/file/2gichqo2qlss4h4/Raptors_UpdateV2.zip
Make this on VR. please!
With the VRGIN mod you can view in VR the menu but unfortunately you can start the game
Cool game, but there is a weird bug with the car chairs. You can keep moving to the left chair (even if you are already on the left chair...). Then you get magically teleported back.
Smitty im have solution for your poblem dont play on laptop beacuse everthing on laptop working like SHIT
I have a laptop and I did everything right with getting the game downloaded and I even did steps I followed online to find out how to get a more smooth experience or a faster frames per second, but the game is still choppy or low on fps. Any helpful tips on how to fix that? I kinda wanna find a way to make a Lenovo laptop work with these games
Have you tried lowering screen resolution and graphics quality in configuration window before you press play? It'll look a bit ugly but it may help to get faster frames.
Any possibility of doing a build with VR support? Unity XR settings can use Oculus SDK and OpenVR.
