News To Euro or not to Euro? British footy fans still travelling to Euro 2008

To Euro or not to Euro? British footy fans still travelling to Euro 2008
England and the rest of the home nations may be out of Euro 2008 but Brit bookings to Austria and Switzerland are up by 122%
England and the rest of the home nations may be out of Euro 2008 but Brit bookings to Austria and Switzerland are up by 122%.
After the British invasion of Moscow a couple of weeks ago for the Champions League Final, we all thought that would be the last foreign footy jaunt of the season for hardened fans.
However, according to new research released today by flight search company Skyscanner, Brits are still heading to the summer's big football tournament, Euro 2008, in their droves with over one million flight searches to Austria and Switzerland since November last year – despite England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland failing to qualify.
English Optimism
According to Skyscanner, thanks to optimistic English footy fans, in the lead-up to England's crucial European Cup qualifier against Croatia back in November, flight queries to the Austrian cities of Vienna and Klagenfurt were on the increase with one in five (18%) of all searches to the Euro 2008 home nations involving the cities hosting the first of the Group B matches.
In fact, even in the days following England's bitter defeat, searches to Austria and Switzerland increased dramatically with Skyscanner reporting an increase of 61% in searches to the two nations immediately after England crashed out, and a staggering increase of 122% in the days following.
So while wives and girlfriends across the country were relishing the prospect of a football-free summer and trips to far-flung destinations away from Europe, the barmy army had other ideas with at least one in every hundred searches on Skyscanner in November involving destinations in Austria and Switzerland.
Getting in on the Goal Action
Over the last five months, interest in flights to Austria and Switzerland has continued to soar and even now with just a few days to go before the opening ceremony, Skyscanner is still experiencing an influx of searches for flights to Euro 2008 match destinations.
In the last month, over 166,000 people have searched for flights to Switzerland and Austria to capture some of the football action – that's an increase of over 300% on last year's flight searches to the same destinations.
No Boycott for the Brits
Gareth Williams, Chief Executive of Skyscanner, comments:
"The search levels for flights to Euro 2008 are unprecedented. This time last year we were bracing ourselves for an influx of users searching for flights to the tournament, but when England crashed out we assumed that Brits would boycott Austria and Switzerland altogether – that doesn't seem to be the case at all.
"We have continued to see a steady increase in flight searches to the host nations for the duration of the tournament and it's just proof that with or without England, Brits still want to be part of this summer's football action.
"Whether you're looking for flights to the tournament, or you want travel inspiration to avoid Austria and Switzerland altogether, June is going to be a busy month for airlines across Europe. With this in mind, we'd advise travellers to shop around. Using Skyscanner, with just one single click you can find the most convenient and cost-effective flights whatever your destination this summer, so get online and bag yourself a bargain."


When we are young, preserving our memory isn't something we tend to think about regularly. But once we start to get older, we're not going to want to be forgetful, which makes it important to start engaging in habits that prevent memory loss as you age so you can stay sharp over time. Even if you have the best memory now, you'll want to ensure you retain it later by engaging in activities that are good for your brain.
"Habits matter when it comes to memory," Dr. Nada Milosavljevic, MD, tells Bustle. "Our brains — in particular our memory — need to be used and challenged in order to stay sharp. Those tasks that you do with regularity and consistency are those which provide good long-term benefits for cognitive health. With repeated application, habits — especially healthy ones — provide 'workouts' for the brain that foster mental flexibility, recall, and pattern recognition."
Most people think of playing Sudoku and other brain games as the best way to maintain your memory and strengthen your brain, but there are plenty of other habits that do the trick as well. Here are seven habits that make it far less likely you'll lose your memory as you age.
Experts suggest an essential part of retaining your memory is maintaining an active lifestyle. "There is scientific evidence demonstrating that individuals who exercise have better thinking skills, memory, and a larger brain volume," Dr. Jamie Hardy tells Bustle. "Exercise increases blood flow to the brain and also causes new neurons to form in the hippocampus."
While sugar is fine in moderation, experts say that having high blood sugar may not be good for your brain. "According to the American Academy of Neurology, those with higher blood sugar levels are more likely to have memory problems," says Hardy. "Even for people who don't have diabetes or high blood sugar, lowering their blood sugar levels could prevent memory problems as they age."
Instead of sticking just with what you know, try engaging in new activities or attempting to learn a new skill. "Taking piano or guitar lessons, crocheting, or discovering a new language for the first time is one way to stimulate brain activity and may create new pathways that help with executive decision making," therapy manager Kendra Ray, PhD, tells Bustle. "Although maintenance of some of our habits help us along in day-to-day activities, exercising our brain through new learning may delay memory loss."
Meditation not only helps with stress and mood, but it can help strengthen your brain when it comes to memory as well. "Meditation increases emotion regulation and decreases the secretion of stress hormones like cortisol," neuroscientist and holistic wellness expert Leigh Winters tells Bustle. "Living in a state of constant busyness and mindlessness can biologically change the way our brain functions, since stress is known to damage and shorten brain synapses that are needed for memory consolidation and retrieval."
Here's another reason to spend some more time in the sun: it helps with your brain health. "Lack of fresh air and vitamin D have been associated with cognitive impairment," says Winters. "It may seem simple, but many traditional 9-to-5 office workers in America do not get enough sun during the day and likely have a vitamin D deficiency."
Fish is high nutrients such as antioxidants and omega-3s, which can help slow down the aging process in the brain and improve cognitive function, and, therefore memory. "Research has also shown that astaxanthin, which is the pigment in fish that give it its red hue, is one of the most powerful antioxidants out there," Parinaz Samimi, MPH, MBA tells Bustle.
"There is an incredibly strong link between sleep, memory, and cognitive function," says Samimi. "Sleep deprivation affects every system in your body, from your memory, to your coordination, your mood, and even your cardiovascular health." Although how much you sleep matters, the quality of your sleep is just as important, too. "Memories are consolidated each night during deep sleep, so it is important that you stay asleep long enough to enter deep sleep," she says. "Also, fragmented sleep has been associated with cognitive decline in older adults and Alzheimer's Disease. So getting to sleep and staying asleep are really important."
By keeping these habits in mind, experts say you can keep your mind sharp and prevent memory loss over time.

N° 31 : Pray the Rosary
Newsletter n°31 – July 13th, 2016
On July 13th, 1917, Our Lady repeated for the third time that the Rosary had to be recited every day. She will say it again during the three following apparitions. Thus, during all of the six apparitions of 1917, Our Lady will ask (we can almost say "claimed") the daily recitation of the Rosary.
May 13th, 1917: "Recite the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war."
June 13th, 1917: "I wish you […] to pray the Rosary every day."
July 13th, 1917: "I want you […] to continue reciting the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, in order to obtain peace in the world and the end of the war, because only She can help you."
August 13th, 1917: "I want you to […] continue praying the Rosary every day."
September 13th, 1917: "Continue to pray the Rosary in order to obtain the end of the war."
October 13th, 1917: "May you continue always to pray the Rosary every day."
This request is the only one that has been made during each apparition: that is why it is particularly important, because this insistence is probably not fortuitous. Besides, from the third apparition, the Holy Virgin will always speak about Our Lady of the Rosary:
July 13th, 1917: "I want you […] to continue reciting the Rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary."
August 19th, 1917: "Our Lord will come to bless the people. Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of Sorrows will come also. […] It will be for the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. What is left over will help towards the construction of a chapel that is to be built."
September 13th, 1917: "With half of the money received so far, they should make litters and carry them on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary; the other half can be used to build the chapel."
October 13th, 1917: "I am the Lady of the Rosary."
Finally, the three scenes that the Holy Virgin showed to the young sighted children during the dance of the Sun of the last apparition, illustrate the three mysteries of the Rosary: the Holy Family for the joyful mysteries, Our Lady of the Sorrows for the sorrowful mysteries, and Our Lady of the Rosary with the features of Our Lady of the Mount Carmel for the glorious mysteries.
On the one hand, Fatima is the confirmation of the daily Rosary as a prayer favoured by Heaven, after the Holy Mass, on the other hand Our Lady of the Rosary as the special name of the Holy Virgin. That is why during all her life, Sister Lucy didn't stop insisting on the importance of the daily recitation of the Rosary. For example, here is what she wrote to one of her friends, Mother Maria José Martins, on September 16th, 1970:
The prayer of the Rosary is, after the Sacred Liturgy of the Eucharist, what unites us the most to God through the richness of the prayers which compose it, all coming from Heaven, dictated by the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. […] So the prayer of the Rosary, after the Liturgy of the Most Holy Eucharist, is what most introduces us to the intimate mystery of the Most Holy Trinity and the Eucharist; what most brings us to the spirit of the mysteries of Faith, Hope and Charity.The prayer of the Rosary is the spiritual bread of souls. […]The Rosary is what sustains the little flame of Faith that still has not been extinguished in many consciences. Even for those souls who pray without meditating, the very act of taking up the Rosary to pray is already a remembrance of God, of the Supernatural. A simple recollection of the mysteries of each decade is one more ray of light to sustain in souls the still smoldering wick. This is why the devil has made such war against it ! (cf. http://www.1260.org/Mary/Apparitions_Fatima/Fatima_Letter_Lucia_to_Martins_1970-09-16_en.htm)
We can find similar expressions in a letter written to father Pasquale two months later, on November 26th, 1970:
The decline of the world is probably due to the lack of the spirit of prayer. It was to prevent that disorientation that the Virgin recommended, with so much insistence, the recitation of the Rosary. It is because the prayer of the Rosary is, after the Holy Mass, the most able to preserve and increase the faith in the souls, that the devil unleashed against him the war we know.
We deeply incite the readers to discover and read those two letters to become aware of the great importance Sister Lucy attached to the Rosary, importance that she learnt from Our Lady herself. They really must be meditated to understand that the daily recitation of the Rosary is the universal remedy to all the evils.
However, some people don't hesitate to criticize it, because they find it repetitive, annoying, outdated… We are not going to answer to this critics, because a lot of people have ever answer to it with talent. (in particular, see the remarkable Peguy's poem about the Rosary).
Above all, such reproaches should be directly expressed to Our Lady herself. Why did she always insist so much on the recitation of the Rosary (rue du Bac, La Sallette, Fatima)? Why did she appear so many times with a Rosary in her hands (Lourdes, Beauraing, Banneux…)? Accepting as true the critics of those who denigrate the Rosary, would be equivalent to tacitly recognize that the Holy Virgin misled, and with her numerous authorities in the Church! That is quite difficult to believe. Leon XIII wrote more than ten encyclical letters about the Rosary. Saint Pius X, in his will, didn't hesitate to write: "If you wish peace to reign in your home and in your homeland, recite the daily Rosary with your family: the Rosary is a perfect summary of the Gospel, and it give peace to everyone who recite it… Like the Rosary, recite it every day." Such a statement in a text as important as a will, moreover a will of a canonized Pope, reveals an exceptional importance. Besides, I is extraordinary to notice the similarity if Saint Pius X's words and Our Lady's ones in Fatima, as if Our Lady wanted to confirm the words of the Holy Father.
More recently, father Gabriele Amorth, exorcist priest of the diocese of Rome, in the introduction of his last book Il mio rosario (Ed. San Paolo, Italy), wrote: « I believe that the Rosary is the most powerful prayer. He reveals he found the origin of his inner strength in the daily recitation of the Rosary, a prayer that supported him in his daily fight against the manifestations of the evil he tackled during many years. And father Amorth underlines the role of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to convert the world: "This book is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, from which depends the future of our world. »
To conclude, here is a page which, in spite of its childish aspect, perfectly illustrates this power of the Rosary (only in french at that time): Clic here . So, for our salvation, for the recovery of our country, for the conversion of the sinners, for the peace in the world, let us be assiduous in the daily recitation of our rosary.
In union of prayer in the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
President of Cap Fatima 2017

'Councils dumping benefit claimants at Thorney Bay'
By David Trayner
COUNCILS across the country have been accused of dumping benefit claimants on a Canvey caravan park.
Castle Point Council's strategic director, Andrew Smith, made the claim as he hit back at the owners of Thorney Bay Village, who alleged the authority had contacted them for help in housing benefit claimants five years ago.
The council has strongly denied the claim by Holly King, who manages the park for the King family, and said it had also told other local authorities to stop sending homeless people to the caravan park.
The row blew up after it emerged the park owners received a total of £3.8million in housing benefit from the council in 2013 and 2014.
Mr Smith said: "The council has not approached the park owner for assistance to accommodate individuals and families on housing benefit at Thorney Bay.
"The council has never referred housing benefit claimants to Thorney Bay. None of the existing tenants has been referred to the site by the council or been housed at Thorney Bay by the council acting in its capacity as the local housing authority.
"The council has previously requested that other local authorities do not place persons in temporary accommodation at Thorney Bay and it would be incongruous for the council to make this request and approach the park owner for assistance with persons in need of accommodation.
"It is therefore not accepted by the council that the statement by Miss King is correct."
Councillors and some park residents have claimed many of the tenants come from outside the borough, including the north of England, and that Essex Probation places exoffenders there.
Miss King insisted the caravans were insulated, but some residents claimed they were freezing cold in winter.
Many local politicians, including Canvey councillor Ray Howard, Canvey Island Independent Party leader Dave Blackwell, Ukip leader Alan Bayley and Tory parliamentary candidate for Castle Point Rebecca Harris, questioned if the mobile homes were suitable for year-round living.
Beverley Egan, Castle Point councillor responsible for housing, accused the park owners of profiting from others' misfortune.
Mrs Egan said: "It must be very difficult for people finding themselves in situations, often through no fault of their own, that lead them to seek cheaper but unsuitable housing, owned by people it would seem, who don't have a problem making money from others' misfortune.
"It is always difficult when these people can operate within the legal, if not, moral expectations, isn't it?"
Mr Smith refused to say if the council had a duty of care to housing benefit claimants or if it had inspected homes on the park.
Miss King declined to comment.

Grain growers are being advised to closely monitor grain storages in the coming weeks, as increasing temperatures may stimulate stored grain insect pest activity.
The Grains Research and Development Corporation Grain Storage Extension Project manager, Chris Warrick, said effective grain hygiene required complete removal of all waste grain from storages and equipment.
Grain residues, or stocks held over from last season, provided ideal breeding sites.
"Pests only need a small amount of grain for survival, and those surviving populations can quickly multiply and spread.

When friends realize I have visited most of our country's national parks, they often ask, "Do you have a favorite?" My answer, "Yes! Glacier National Park in the remote northwest corner of Montana is one of the most staggeringly beautiful landscapes in the world. It's so glorious that you must plan to go one day soon." Although it's a long road trip from Sacramento, there are several attractive alternatives to driving.
By Amtrak Train
Amtrak's Empire Builder offers a six day tour from Portland to East Glacier National Park. In about 18 hours, as a pampered explorer in the train's glass-domed Observation Lounge, you can travel through the same majestic wilderness that follows in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark. The tour includes lodging in Glacier Park Lodge, some meals, a tour of the park, and a Two Medicine Valley boat cruise. In the summer of 2021, the total price for two adults was $3,365. This tour is so popular that it's important to make a reservation as soon as possible at www.amtrakvacations.com.
MY INSIDER TRIP: For no additional price to the standard coach fare, there is only one comfortable private bedroom with its own toilet and bathing facilities that is set aside for a mobility-challenged person as well as a second traveling companion. Fortunately, when I had to cancel my plane ticket at the last minute due to a medical reason a few years ago, this room was still available for the three-day journey from Chicago to Sacramento.
Also from Sacramento, it's about a five hour flight (with one stop in Salt Lake City ) to Glacier Park International Airport in Kalispell, only 25 miles west of Park headquarters. Shuttles are available to the park. (Delta Air roundtrip price in the summer of 2021 was about $400).
For Independent Travelers and Campers in 2022
If you prefer to travel independently in the Park and stay at several of the historic "Great Lodges of Glacier" inspired by the classic resort of the Swiss Alps, it's important to book as soon as possible, preferably a year in advance. www.glaciernationalparklodges.com www.nps.gov
Other Recommended Lodging and Dining Choices
If there is no available lodging within the Park, 10 other hotels nestled around the Park's boundaries also offer the flavor of a romantic by-gone era. www.glacierparkcollection.gov
My favorite is the Belton Chalet just outside the Park's west entrance. The first of the iconic lodges built by the Great Northern Railroad, it was viewed as the pinnacle of modern hospitality. Today it is known for its elegant dining experience and its Tap Room, which are still a favorite of locals and travelers from around the world. Each evening the staff lines the balconies to welcome the evening train, just like they did in 1910.
Red Vintage Jammer Buses
Be sure to experience a journey on the vintage Red Bus through the heart of Glacier on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. The romantic open-air red sedans are both a symbol of the Park and a reminder of a time when adventurous travel was done with style and grace. Locals call them "jammer buses", a carry-over from the days when buses could be heard "jamming" the gears as they drove up and down the rugged mountains. The antique buses now have modern frames and safety features along with engines that run on clean-burning propane. On clear days their canvas roofs are rolled back and transformed into convertible buses. www.redbustours.glaciernationalpark.com
They climb and wind for 50 miles along the narrow road, past shaggy mountain goats and big horn sheep that dot the cliffs. Mountain lions and lynx hunt for food. Bears scavage for blackberries or fish in the rivers near windswept Logan Pass. Rippling fields of delicate yellow glacier lilies and giant fuzzy white cones of common bear grass are abundant on the Garden Wall section of Highline Trail, a favorite day hike.
There is also a system of shuttle buses for those who are traveling in large recreational vehicles which are restricted from driving on the Going-to-the-Sun Road.
My All-time Favorite Hike – Grinnell Glacier
One of the most popular hikes in the Park begins at Many Glacier Campground down the road from Glacier Park Hotel. The trail passes through a wilderness teeming with vibrant Ice Age wild flowers, emerald valleys, and rushing waterfalls. It is also one of the park's best locations for spotting a bear. Hikers can choose to ride the tour boat along Swiftcurrent and Josephine Lakes the first part of the way and then book a ranger-led group hike to Grinnell Glacier, but my husband and I opted to hike the entire strenuous 12-mile trail, wearing bear bells around our necks to warn the bears of our presence!
Small Group and Custom Tours
A ideal choice for those who prefer a six-day small group guided tour (two-eight persons in a van) or expert advice in planning a flexible six-nine day custom tour, be sure to check out www.offthebeatenpath.com
Do it Your Way!
No matter how you arrive or where you stay, head for Glacier National Park under the Big Sky of Montana in the summer of 2022. It's an outpost of civilization that will make your spirits soar. Secure your travel plans by purchasing a policy at www.insuremytrip.com.

Mostly the soil of Temecula vineyards are made of decomposed granitic materials, which was porous in other way and hardly allows water to stay at the root level as these are light sandy loam. This loose but fertile soul quality is responsible for pure varietal flavors of Temecula wines.
Extensive research showed that the Temecula Valley was ideal for growing high quality wine grapes as mist often lingers until mid-morning on this 1,400-foot (430 m) plateau, located below the peaks of the local mountain range.
Want to know more about Temecula valley? More you will gather knowledge about the wine valley; you will enjoy your wine tours Temecula better. For overall and comprehensive knowledge about the wine valley you should hire a good guide; however, you can ask moses-tours.com for more wine tour knowledge for availing better grasp of Temecula valley; it will facilitate your wine tour for sure.

I was absolutely not surprised Trump got Covid-19′ – US Infectious disease chief, Dr Fauci
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United States' leading infectious disease expert has said he is "absolutely not" surprised President Donald Trump contracted Covid-19 after seeing him surrounded by people not wearing face masks and flouting best public health practices during rallies and meetings with aides.
Fauci, who has gone at odds with Trump regarding the coronavirus pandemic, spoke during an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday night.
He said, "I was worried that he was going to get sick when I saw him in a completely precarious situation of crowded — no separation between people, and almost nobody wearing a mask."
"When I saw that on TV, I said, 'Oh my goodness. Nothing good can come out of that, that's got to be a problem,'" he continued.
"And then sure enough, it turned out to be a superspreader event."
Fauci was referencing the Rose Garden September 26 event where Trump announced Judge Amy Coney Barrett was his pick to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. At least 12 people have tested positive for Covid-19 since the event .
Trump announced that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for coronavirus just days after the Rose Garden event. He was transferred to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he was treated.
Even though the ceremony was held outdoors, footage of the event showed few people wearing masks, while hugging and handshaking each other .
Fauci had previously labeled the event as a "superspreader"
"The data speak for themselves," he said.
Fauci told "60 Minutes" it doesn't make sense to him why Trump "equates wearing a mask with weakness."
"Masks really do work." Fauci added.

UNCONSTITUTIONABLE BEHAVIOUR
The federal government claims the Australian Constitution is lying.
Section 51 of the Constitution states the federal government is responsible for quarantines.
"The Constitution is a socialist cover-up," said the talking head of the Prime Minister's Not-My-Department.
"Section 51 is written in black-and-white in plain English, which is racist."
The Constitution also erroneously claims nobody was living in Australia when it was discovered by men in wigs.
Presumably, the wigs were over their eyes.
A preamble recognising indigenous people's 70,000-year presence in Australia remains a fraught political issue because it is true.
When asked about the Constitution, Morrison said, "I haven't seen that document so I can't comment on it."
BANNIN' BANNON
The architect of Donald Trump's 2016 election win has been arrested for not being an architect.
Steve Bannon was charged with defrauding thousands of scaredy-cat wingnuts who donated cash to build a wall between America and everywhere else.
Bannon allegedly squandered $US25 million from a crowdfunding campaign called 'We Build the Wall Without Actually Building A Wall'.
Bannon was arrested while wall-building on a luxury yacht.
Trump denied knowing Bannon. "I met him a few thousand times, but who really knows anyone?"
He said Bannon's legal expenses would be paid by Mexico.
MORRISON DEFENDS GOVERNMENT'S HANDLING OF AGED-CARELESS
In regard to the elderly, PM Scott Morrison says it's a grey area.
"We've got the aged care crisis under control," said a government spokesman in a kerosene
"Former hot spots will now be referred to as tepid spots."
The PM said, "It's not as binary as a lot of people think. Or not."
But his words mattered for nought. Or one.
ANTIVAXXERS WILL FIGHT VACCINE TO THE DEATH
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has walked back and forth and round and round his comment the coronavirus vaccine would be "mandatory".
A spokeswoman clarified, "He means it will be mandatory if that's okay by you."
The PM said he likes the word mandatory, because it has "man" and "tory" in it.
An Anti-vaxxer said, "The COVID vaccine is a cash-grab by Bill Gates, who's donated $36billion to charity… Um… it's complicated."
The government wants 95 per cent of Australians vaccinated. That is, they will only have to be vaccinated up to their necks.

In this day and age the front office is the beating heart of any medical organization. Whether working in a hospital, clinic, physician's office or other health care facility, an experienced Health Care Administrator needs to plan, coordinate, direct and supervise front office activities to keep the organization running efficiently…and healthily.
well as general office management duties, you'll handle medical billing and coding, insurance claims, bookkeeping, and administrative duties such as scheduling, filing, and organizing.
A Health Care Administrator needs specialized skills and because health care delivery is changing rapidly, it's a challenging role – Administrators are often tasked with improving both efficiency and the quality of patient care. Study Health Care Administration (HCA) at Carrington College and our faculty will help you to gain the practical training and experience you need if you hope to succeed in a career as a health care administrator.

This is the largest protected sea lion habitat in the United and is a must see on the Oregon coast. During peak seasons you can get a glimpse of hundreds of sea lions and other exciting wildlife. Tourists can head 11 miles North of Florence to the caves where you can walk about 400 yards and ride an elevator 200 ft. down into the cavern. The attraction has been a hit since 1932 and still one of the top recommended things to do in the area.
Visitors can see largest amount of sea lions in the spring in summer when they are breeding. During this time they venture outside of the cave to socialize and interact with each other. During the winter and fall most sea lion sightings will be inside of the cave.
The Sea Lion Caves have been around for approximately 25 million years as a natural and protected home for a colony of sea lions. The habitat is at sea level and spans across 2 acres and reaches about 125 feet high. As the tides come in and out, visitors will have the chance to view the rich minerals and sea life that thrives on its surface.
How far is the cave?
The cave is about a 400 yard walk from the parking area. Visitors can then take an elevator down to the cave. Additionally, they can walk up 63 steps to a viewpoint at the Heceta Lighthouse.
What types of animals can I see in the Cave besides Sea Lions?
This habitat is also known to host sea gulls, cormorants and pigeons. It also serves as a strategic passage for gray whales and killer whales.


I am guilty of one of the cardinal sins of effective blogging: excessively verbose entries. I spend all kinds of time doing research and checking and re-checking the content only to never receive any comments/feedback. I wonder: Why is no one interested in my writings?
Then I take a step back and realize how I myself read blogs. I don't read as much as I scan. This is important for the blogger to remember when writing his own post. Remember that to effectively convey information in a digital medium that one needs to write with brevity.
Writing with brevity (that is, concise and to the point) is a skill that is not easy to accomplish. It takes a great deal of skill to express an idea in less words than more. Before you write your entry this to yourself: "How can I summarize my main points to the reader?" Use clear sections in your post to convey the flow of thought, and attempt to stay on the thesis and not go into the nether world of blog tangents.


Older state park next to Sam Rayburn Lake. Most sites have lakeview, several are right on the water. Sites are various size/lengths. All sites are asphalt, but be careful - several sites the asphalt is all broken up. We only saw a few that were level.
Two of the showerhouse / bathrooms are the newer style, other is older with restrooms only. We arrive the Wednesday after Memorial Day - campground was 90% empty. Shower/restrooms were full of mosquitoes!!
100 sites with only 1 older style dumpstation. Playground and pavillion with grills located in middle of campground.
All sites have 30 amp and water. See map attached.
Boat ramp with extra parking. At several sites you can pull your boat up to campsite on bank - no docks on this lake!
We preferred Mill Creek campground. It was cleaner and host were FANTASTIC!!
The park is very clean. All the sites are lakefront. The camping loop has a brand new bathhouse. The only negative is old unlevel pads.

Mosin Nagant for sale
The 3-line rifle M1891 is popularly known in the West as the Mosin Nagant and in Russia as the Mosin nagant rifle. The mosin nagant for sale is a five-shot, bolt-action, internal magazine–fed, military rifle. Also, It is one of the most mass-produced military bolt-action rifles in history. Hence it has over 37 million units having been made since its inception in 1891. It is primarily found chambered for its original 7.62×54mmR
The Mosin nagant 3-line rifle, Model 1891 was adopted by the Russian military in 1891. There have been several variations from the original rifle, the most common being the M1891/30 (commonly referred to as "the 91/30" by shooters). Also, Some details were borrowed from the mosin Nagant for sale design.
Furthermore, the 1891 Mosin nagant rifle for sale uses two front-locking lugs to lock up the action. However, the Mosin's lugs lock in the horizontal position, whereas the Mauser locks vertically. The Mosin nagant bolt body is also multi-piece whereas the Mauser is one piece. Like the Mauser, the Mosin nagant uses a blade ejector mounted in the receiver. The Mosin nagant bolt is removed by simply pulling it fully to the rear of the receiver and squeezing the trigger. Meanwhile the Mauser has a bolt stop lever separate from the trigger.
Technical info about the mosin nagant rifle
Like the Mauser, the bolt lift arc on the Mosin–Nagant is 90 degrees, versus 60 degrees on the Lee–Enfield. Furthermore, the Mauser bolt handle is at the rear of the bolt body. It locks behind the solid rear receiver ring. Hence the Mosin nagant bolt handle is similar to the Mannlicher:
The rifling of the Mosin nagant for sale barrel is right turning (clockwise looking down the rifle) 4-groove with a twist of 1:9.5″ or 1:10″. Also the 5-round fixed metallic magazine can either be loaded by inserting the cartridges singly, or more often in military service, by the use of 5-round stripper clips.

I've watched the trees just about every night since…well, I can't remember not doing so. They just stand there, day and night, straight as fence posts in the calm and crooked as teeth when the storms come in. And 'round here the storms always do come. November 's when they really kick in. They speed up like derailed trains as they hit the rough skin of the mountain slopes. Traveling upwards and downwards, south then west…most of the time.
The old house hums when the winds get strong. Trapped air or something. And the tin on the roof whistles like a mad old woman when the wind goes all horizontal. The rain slaps across the windows on those nights, like it's worked itself up into a real fury. Got to shut the windows up. Gets real still inside. Sometimes I turn off the lights. Not sure why, but it makes things feel less closed up, I guess—a little less small.
Anyways…I usually keep the curtains open though. I like watching the storm, most times. And listening. Listen—it's like radio voices stuck between channels. A bit of fuzz and a lot of commotion—like a crowd of invisible people all chattering to each other out there. Quite a ruckus. Like the noise of the city being carried over the timberlines and dropped right into the woods. Keeps me company, but it can get downright ghostly.
And then they get to swaying. The trees that is. And the branches wave and scrape and scratch wildly against the thick hide of the night sky. Like they're hunting for stars. Like they'd tear the moon down for company if they could. A bit like a drunkard I once saw at a Pentecostal prayer service too. A tangle of grace and violence.
Once, well…I guess maybe you heard. Of course you did—it's what you're here for, right? Well, Ok. I'll tell it. Once I got what you might call a vision. With the static of the storm and the lash of the rain and the whiskey warm in my belly and thoughts of a dead friend in mind, I saw—for a moment mind you—that the night was the blackness of a gaping mouth; the birch shown as white as teeth and the rain flung itself like a hail of syllables and grunts, sputters and howls—singing in tongues out of a great open mouthed face of pure, sparkling dark.
Well, there it is, plain. So god help me. I can still see it, though its features are just a blue black smear now. But yes, that face pressed itself against the world so hard it seemed to tear the skin off everything, peeling back the weight and texture of centuries to reveal some secret and unspeakable togetherness of white and black infinity. Then grinning, for a moment—just the unbearable brightness of the trees shooting through the window into my eyes with a fire as hungry as wolves.

Iowa State vs. the Big 12: Wide Receivers
Allen Lazard will lead a group of inexperienced wide receivers for Iowa State in 2016.
By Matthias Schwartzkopf@MatthiasWRNL Aug 5, 2016, 10:00am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Iowa State vs. the Big 12: Wide Receivers
Today's edition of the WRNL position previews covers one of the groups that is young and ready to burst onto the scene: the wide receivers.
We all know Iowa State has never been a hotbed that wide receiver commits to come running to. However, we've had our fair share of talented wideouts within Jack Trice Stadium. Todd Blythe, Lane Danielson and Quenton Bundrage to name a few.
Right now, we may be seeing the most talented player ever to play receiver at Iowa State in Allen Lazard. Statistically, he may not be on par with the previous guys mentioned, as the ISU offense tended to stall out quite a bit in his first two years in Ames. With a new offensive coordinator in Tom Manning and a presumed emphasis on getting Lazard touches in the passing game, we might see those numbers grow.
Outside of Lazard, the receiving corps includes Trever Ryen and Dondre Daley, who had 42 receptions and 3 touchdowns last season combined. We should expect their numbers to rise with more experience. Something fun to watch this fall will be Ryen lining up all over the field as the offense tries to take advantage of his speed on the outside.
Carson Epps, a sophomore, had eight receptions last season and is second on the initial fall depth chart behind Daley. He could see more snaps if fall camp goes well for him. Incoming freshman Jalen Martin could see some time as well, as early reports on him are promising.
With opposing defenses likely leaning towards taking away the run game with Mike Warren, the passing game will open up more than it has in the past. The receivers should have space to move and get open. Quarterback Joel Lanning will have no problem getting the ball out, but the rest is up to the receivers to make the plays and make life easier on Warren and Lanning.
Just like a broken record, depth may be an issue here as well. Behind the players listed above, the cupboard is rather bare with an absence of names that stick out.
Before the season even started, the depth chart took a major blow. D'vario Montgomery left before spring ball, and Jauan Wesley soon followed him. We're going to see a lot of new names surfacing out of fall camp, and it will be interesting to see who can make a leap to be a threat other than Lazard, Ryen and Daley.
Darius Lee-Campbell moved from quarterback to receiver, and when he was recruited, the coaches raved about his speed in the open field. We should soon see if that translates onto the field at receiver. You may see names like Cole Anderson, Sam Harms and Hakeem Butler too. All have yet to log playing time for the Cyclones, which is why depth issues come to forefront.
However, Butler is 6-foot-6 and a freshman. With that size, he should be able to withstand corners in the Big 12. He may be the one to keep an eye on in camp.
Stacking Up Against the Big 12
The Big 12 is known for offense — we all know that. Receivers at Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are always putting up insane numbers. Iowa State's stats have not even been close. Lazard was the lone Cyclone to crack the top 10 in Big 12 receiving last year; meanwhile, Baylor had two players and Oklahoma State had three.
The leading receiver last year in the big 12 was Corey Coleman with 1,363 yards and 20 touchdowns. In comparison, Iowa State's leading receiver was Lazard with 808 yards and 5 touchdowns and was ranked 9th overall. Each of the top five receivers in the league had over 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns. Top 10 is nothing to frown upon, but when other schools are producing multiple targets that rank within the top 10 of the league, there's room to grow for ISU's passing offense.
We may be looking at another year with just Lazard gracing the top 10. Until ISU's group of receivers can gain experience, it could be tough sledding to jump up into the league's top tiered receiving groups.
While the Cyclones' receivers may be young and inexperienced, there's talent to make waves. I don't expect Lazard to reach 1,000 yards receiving this year, but he should come close. The bulk of our yardage early in the year will likely come via the running game, which ultimately could take some of the pressure off the younger receivers as they try to get their feet wet in real games.
Ultimately, all eyes will be on Lazard. Opposing coaches will look to take him out of the game and put the pressure on the others in Iowa State's lineup. If the other receivers like Ryen, Daley and Martin (assuming the freshman has a great camp) can make plays when necessary, Lazard will have more freedom and give Lanning that threat deep down the field and in the red zone.

June 21, 2013, 3:20 PM · When you've spent the better part of the past decade traveling all over riding theme park rides, it's rare for me anymore to discover a truly unique new experience on a ride. And, to be honest, I didn't expect to find one on Six Flags Magic Mountain's Full Throttle, which debuted to local reporters today.
But up at the top of that loop? A moment unlike any other on roller coasters awaits you.
As its name implies, Full Throttle doesn't take its time getting to the action, launching from the station to 70 miles per hour, up and into a 160-foot loop.
And it's in that loop that Full Throttle delivers its take-away moment — a full second (which seems like eternity) of weightless airtime, upside down, lingering at the apex of the loop. Oh, and did I mention that Full Throttle doesn't pin you down with over-the-shoulder restraints? Yep, just a lap bar — and the power of physics — keep you up there for your moment of floating in roller coaster heaven.
Fortunately, the rest of the ride won't waste your time back to the station. The loop transitions through a nifty high-speed banked turn into an Immelmann loop, which then drops you into the old monorail tunnel under the Superman plaza. From there, you launch a second time, backward, up onto the Immelmann for another moment of zero-G airtime, before gravity pulls you back into the tunnel for a third launch, a "kick in the pants" that drives you up and over the top hat that spans the upper edge of the ride's initial loop.
Another lingering moment of airtime awaits you there, again, before a quick, face-down drop back to the station. It's a sudden stop there -- the only rough moment on what is otherwise a silky-smooth, whisper-quiet ride.
Except for your and the other riders' screams, of course.
Full Throttle runs two trains with 18 riders each, so don't expect high visitor through-put on the coaster. With an active ride time a little over 60 seconds, capacity will be under 1,000 riders per hour, with loading efficiency determining how close to that figure the ride gets. As always with new coasters, get there early, or prepare to wait.
For after your ride, Six Flags has opened two new food stands adjacent to the Full Throttle Plaza, Loaded Dogs and High Octane Wings.
I tasted the wings earlier this year, so today I opted for the "Full Throttle Dog" at Loaded Dogs instead.
The dog, which is grilled on site next to the stand, comes dressed like a sale rack, with pastrami, bacon, chili, cheese, tomatoes and onions, and is served with waffle fries, for $10.99. Other varieties of topping-loaded hot dogs are available, along with corn dogs and topped fries. It's all a mess, of course, but tasty and fun.
Full Throttle opens to the public tomorrow, Saturday, June 22.
Did you see any fatties riding it today?
I'll be there in a few weeks, and I'm hoping to avoid as many "walk of shames" as possible. Also, did you notice if Flash Pass was going to be available for it?
It was all media today, plus ACE and the local Boys & Girls Club, so not a typical cross-section of park visitors. I found the seat comfortable, but I'm not that big. With individually adjusted lap bars only, and no over the shoulder restraints, I would think this would be a relatively accommodating ride.
No Flash Pass signage, but the queue wasn't completely set up yet.
Cool, thanks. Look forward to the video.
I thought the ride was great! The loop over delivers on hangtime and enjoyment.
I think we got our Vote of the Week: Full Throttle Dog BEFORE or AFTER the ride?
BEFORE! Full Throttle! Live life to the fullest! YOLO!
Looks awesome, Robert. I can't wait to ride it (the coaster, not the dawg) this fall if I make it to Magic Mountain during my Disney excursion as planned.
Silly question for Six Flags, but does the coaster have any sort of background story or narrative?
Did you happen to ask if the hot dogs are all beef or chicken parts/sawdust, or what?
Don't recall about the hot dog, but you could opt for a turkey dog, if you'd like.
No backstory, but they had a huge video screen under a shade structure in the plaza that was showing a music video montage of action sports clips and very nice on-ride footage from other Magic Mountain rides, to reinforce the "Full Throttle" theme. I hope that stays. It provided a very nice scene-setting touch to the wait area.
How far do you have to bend your knees in the car? My wife has a bad leg.
To Dan McNeely: Green Lantern can't be any worse than Flashback was. That was a waste of steel. It was a prototype - and riding it explained why there was only the one. I never rode it without getting a headache.
To Eric Fisher: No argument there. Thinking about that ride makes me flashback to a headache.
You'll definitely need to bend your knees. The lap bar has another pad that hits at shin level, so that you can't keep your legs straight underneath the lap bar on the ride.
"I'll be there in a few weeks, and I'm hoping to avoid as many "walk of shames" as possible."
All of Premier's coasters seem to use the same lap bar restraint and it looks like FT has the same trains as Kennywood's Sky Rocket. I would assume that if you can get on Revenge of the Mummy and Flight of Fear you should be able to get on this.
Rao and I AGREE on something regarding food? Huh. Who knew?
To me the ride looks alright at best, based on the video. I'm just not a fan of coaster vids. To quote Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.."Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby."
I've ridden a few coasters with serious loop hangtime, but never one with just a lap bar. Looks like a lot of fun.
Great to see Magic Mountain on the move again. The coaster is one thing, but to see them offering food like that is a sure sign. That's a serious hot dog.
The food looks good. The coaster meh. I think the review is inline with the "below average" expectations that many have had for this ride.
It's a shame that they didn't respect the Log Jammer and refurbish it instead.
Is Full Throttle sponsored by.....Full Throttle?
I too was wondering about the largness of the guests in regards to what the seat can accomodate. I'm pretty big (no Riddler's Revenge or Batman at SFMM for me) and am heartened to learn that this is a lap-bar only ride. Xcellerator at Knott's is also a lap-bar only ride BUT the bar has to click back a minimum amount before they will let me ride. The bar at Knott's could not click back enough for them to let me ride. I'm wondering, even though it's lap-bars only, if this ride can be ridden by larger-than-average individuals. Is there a Test Seat or Big Boy Seat (like on Scream)?
I thought there would be little more going on in the tunnel (the pre-vis video made it look like they would at least have a fog machine in there).
Also, I would technically call the other inversion a "dive loop" since the train dives down into the inversion instead of up like an immelman.
That capacity is just a killer, and while SFMM has dozens of other big coasters to spread the crowds, Six Flags can terribly inefficient at running their attractions, Full Throttle is going to carry some seriously long waits (longer than the typical 2 hours for X2 and 90+ minutes for Tatsu).
I put the *theoretical* capacity at 1440 guests per hour since the third launch happens around the 45 second mark. I'm pretty sure they they won't be able launching trains every 45 seconds as it will be based on how many trains they have and how efficient the crew is.
On the bright side, I've heard that Discovery Kingdom has been doing a great job at pumping up capacity and moving the line quickly with Superman, another Premier coaster.
So I'm finally traveling to LA for the first time in my life on business, and I finally get the chance to make it to Magic Mountain, which I've basically been looking forward to since I was 10.
Obviously, I'll be taking advantage of the Flash Pass, with myself only getting to be there for one day.
Flash Pass WILL BE AVAILABLE for an addition fee for Full Throttle, but ONLY for those with Platinum Flash Pass.
They have also removed the fee associated with Lex Luthor.
Yes Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has done a good job moving the line quickly with Superman. They do their best to make sure every seat if filled with a body. To the person who is going to Magic Mountain for the first time, I would try to get there early and knock out Tatsu, and X2 asap. Those two rides always seems to have the longest lines for me, sometimes with a 2 hr plus wait!!! I've been lucky to never have a long wait time for Superman.

Racing Fantastic Finish at Key West Race Week
Fantastic Finish at Key West Race Week
Most of the marquee classes at Quantum Key West Race Week 2015 came down to the last day of the regatta, which delivered the toughest conditions of the week.
By Sailing World Staff
Most of the marquee classes at Quantum Key West Race Week 2015 came down to the last day of the regatta, which delivered the toughest conditions of the week. Howling winds and rough seas challenging the competitors on Friday, forcing the top contenders to raise their game in order to claim overall victory.
That was certainly the case aboard Bella Mente, the mini maxi skippered by Hap Fauth of Minneapolis. Fauth steered the Judel-Vrolijk 72-footer to first place in both races on Friday to hold off a stiff challenge from skipper Gunther Buerman and his team on Numbers.
"Our plan was to be in position to win going into the last day and that is what happened. The wind Gods cooperated today and gave us great racing. We rose to the occasion and were able to win both races," Fauth said. "I thought the whole crew did an impeccable job. We sailed hard in both races."
Bella Mente wound up winning six of 10 races in posting a low score of 19 points, two better than Numbers, which had four-time America's Cup winner Brad Butterworth aboard as tactician. Fauth captured his fourth victory in Key West despite a grounding incident on Wednesday that caused the team to absorb seven points in two races. Bella Mente was unable to finish Race 5 then limped to third in Race 6 due to a damaged keel bulb.
"We basically tanked two races and that was very hard to overcome, especially against this caliber of competition," Fauth said. "Numbers is very quick and very well sailed. Gunther, Brad and their guys did a terrific job and really pushed us the whole way."
Veteran professional Terry Hutchinson, who was recently named Rolex Yachtsman of the Year for the second time in his career, praised the performance of Fauth and the rest of the crew. Hutchinson, an executive with Quantum Sail Design Group, is a relative newcomer to the Bella Mente program.
"Hap has a lot of experience racing this boat and does an outstanding job on the helm," Hutchinson said. "The one constant we had all week was superb starting and tremendous boat-handling. Every member of the crew really did a great job."
Race committee personnel reported wind gusts of nearly 30 knots during the second race on Friday and that made for some spectacular racing. Sailors aboard the GC32 catamarans were hanging on for dear life all day as the high-tech speedsters were bouncing off waves and coming completely out of the water. Ken Legler, principal race officer on Division 1, said the foiling catamarans completed a downwind leg in just six minutes.
Skipper Flavio Marazzi led the Swiss entry ARMIN STROM Sailing to a one-point victory over ZouLou, the French entry skippered by Erik Maris. Keith Swinton served as tactician while Diego Stefani was headsail trimmer aboard ARMIN STROM, which finished first or second in eight of 10 races. Argo and Leenabarca were unable to compete in the last race after sustaining rudder damage in the rough conditions.
"The last two days were really fun. These are very cool boats and they were absolutely flying," Marazzi said. "Today was a bit tricky because of the swell. It's hard to find the fine line between pushing and backing off. It is very exciting, but also very dangerous."
Alec Cutler and his crew on Hedgehog carried a three-point lead into the final day and decided to cover the second place boat in Race 9. Cutler finished fourth, but forced Dalton DeVos and the Delta team to absorb a fifth. That gave Hedgehog the breathing room it needed and Cutler repeated as class champ by a two-point margin over Argo, skippered College Sailor of the Year Graham Landy of Yale.
"All five boats were very good so the competition was real tough," Cutler said. "Every boat won a race and we were the only boat that didn't finish last. It was real close racing and you could lose two or three boats in a hurry with the slightest mistake."
Richard Clarke, who has represented Canada in the Olympics several times, called tactics for Cutler. Adrian Stead, a veteran professional from Great Britain, was aboard as strategist.
Quantum Key West Race Week 2015 was the first regatta for Tonnerre 4 under the ownership of Peter Vroon of The Netherlands. It didn't take the crew very long to figure out how to make the Ker 51 go fast as the Dutch entry led IRC 1 class for the final four days.
"We are very pleased to win such a strong class. I have an excellent bunch of sailors on the boat and they do all the work. My contributions are ballast and writing the checks," Vroon joked. "Obviously, the bigger breeze of the last two days was good for our boat."
Kevin George served as tactician for the 84-year-old Vroon, who won Key West for the second time. "It was just a case of putting the building blocks together and gaining momentum. We focused on getting good starts and just tried to sail a clean regatta," George said.
Tonnere also won the High Performance Rule sub-class, which consisted of five of the IRC 1 entries. Tonnere edged the Ker 43 Otra Vez (William Coates) in IRC 1 and the Carkeek 40 Spookie (Steve and Heidi Benjamin) in HPR. Impetuous, skippered by Paul Zabetakis of Stuart, Florida, topped the Swan 42 sub-class.
J/70 was the largest class of the regatta with 54 boats and featured a slew of top professionals. It was a week-long dog fight that saw constant changes at the top end of the standings. Skipper Carlo Alberini and his Italian team on Calvi Network emerged as overall winner thanks to single-digit finishes in nine of 11 races.
Branko Brcin served as tactician while Sergio Blosi and Karlo Hmeljak handled the trimming aboard Calvi Network, which closed the regatta with a second after posting a steady string of fourths and fifths. That remarkable consistency in such a competitive class earned Calvi Network the ultimate prize at Quantum Key West Race Week – Boat of the Week.
"The talent level in this class is very high. We came to Key West because we are very excited about the J/70 fleet and want to race against the best boats," said Alberini, who won the European Championship last year. "To win here is the best feeling. This might be the most important win of my career because we beat the world champion on the water."
Calvi Network totaled 49 points, eight better than the Mexican entry Flojito y Cooperando that is skippered by Julian Fernandez Neckelmann. Italian pro Vasco Vascotto called tactics on Flojito, which closed the regatta strong with a first and second on Friday. Tim Healy, the reigning J/70 World Champion and two-time winner here in Key West, finished third after pushing the line and being ruled on-course side (OCS) in the last race.
Gannon Troutman, the 12-year-old skipper of Pied Piper, was the talk of the regatta after finishing fifth in the talent-laden J/70 class – winning a race while also posting a second and third. San Francisco skipper Jim Cunningham captured the Corinthian Division of J/70 class, which had 20 boats.
Irish skipper Conor Clarke competed in Key West for the first time and came away with an impressive victory in Melges 24 class, winning eight of 11 races and beating the second place boat by 23 points. Stuart McNay and Dave Hughes, who are mounting a 470 Olympic campaign together, were helmsman and tactician aboard Embarr.
"It's a fantastic feeling to win in Key West," said Clarke, a Dublin resident who's had the regatta on his bucket list. "Today's sailing was just amazing. We had perfect conditions… just what the brochure said it would be like."
J/88 class was decided on Friday with Rob & Sandy Butler sailing Touch2Play Racing to victory in both races. That clutch performance gave the Canadian entry the same amount of points as Deviation, skippered by Iris Vogel of New Rochelle, N.Y. Touch2Play won the tiebreaker by virtue of more first place finishes.
"We kind of put the pressure on (Deviation) by winning the last race on Thursday. We still trailed by two points so we knew we had to come out and win both races today," Rob Butler said. "Our crew was really dialed in and we had very good boat speed. I'm proud of the team for doing what we had to do in order to win the regatta."
J/111 also had a one-design class and Florida skipper George Gamble steered My Sharona to a wire-to-wire victory. Quantum pro Scott Nixon called tactics on My Sharona, which displayed superb boat speed in all conditions in winning five races and placing second or third in four others.
British skipper Joe Woods and his crew on Red set the pace in PHRF 1 from the outset and led at the end of each day's racing. Dave Lenz served as tactician aboard the Farr 280, which won five races and placed second or third in four others.
"Joe has sailed a Melges 24 and a Melges 32 so he's used to being on sport boats," Lenz said. "This entire crew has sailed with Joe on the 32 and that familiarity seemed to give us a slight edge from day one. We just had a little extra click of speed than everybody else."
Red closed the regatta with a pair of bullets and received the Quantum Sail Boat of the Day award. Woods was also the runaway winner of the Farr 280 sub-class, which had four boats.
Gerry Taylor secured his third class victory in Key West, steering Tangent to a wire-to-wire victory in PHRF 2. Veteran sailmaker Chuck O'Malley called tactics while headsail trimmer Jay Corcoran anchored a strong crew aboard the Cape Fear 38, which won every race but one.

  <result name="success" type="stream">
    <param name="inputName">str</param>
    <param name="contentType">image/jpeg</param>

 </result>
</action>

What I'm doing bad because I haven't anything. Thanks so much

A: Well, for starters, you don't have an action method at all. You do have a method named execute, but it is static and returns void. Action methods are non-static and return a String, which maps to a result in the struts.xml.
Additionally, after you set the content type on the response, you never send any data.
There are other problems with this action as well, such as the use of mutable static fields on the action, which is not thread-safe.
Here are some steps to take:

*

*Change the execute method to be non-static and return a String

*Add a return SUCCESS; line at the end of the method

*Update the struts.xml mapping to refer to the result "success" (SUCCESS is a constant for which the actual value is "success")

*Make the three member fields non-static

*Set the content type in the struts.xml, rather than in the code (see example below)

*Remove the response.reset() and .setContentType() calls

Example:
<action name="ShowImageAction" class="package.for.ShowImageAction">
  <result name="success" type="stream">
    <param name="contentType">image/jpeg</param>
    <param name="inputName">str</param>
  </result>
</action>

Then, if it is still not working for you, revise your question appropriately.

L'Chaim in the Washington Jewish Week
A while back, we performed a tasting at a big synagogue in Potomac, Maryland. Joshua E. London and Lou Marmon were on hand to interview us, and also provided a review of the Roundstone Rye.
One day a few years back, Scott Harris — founder and general manager of Catoctin Creek Distilling Co. in Loudon County — was sitting at his desk at one of the various Washington, D.C., defense contractors when he had an epiphany. As he puts it, "I was working on the 30th revision of a Powerpoint package which I knew nobody would ever read. I said to myself, 'There has to be something more to life than this.' "
So after 20 years building a software career in telecommunication systems and government IT solutions, Harris wanted something more rewarding. "At that moment," he says, "I was swept back to a quarter century earlier, when I was a 15-year-old intern working in a winery. That was a job that I really enjoyed — the satisfaction of working with my hands, producing something, and having people appreciate what I had produced. It was this kind of job that I now felt myself seeking. But this time, I thought, I'd focus on spirits. I wanted to start a distillery."
