by wada January 11, 2022 January 11, 2022 0
By Remi Johnson
The Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) has called on taxpayers in the FCT to file their tax returns for 2021 before the end of 31st March 2022.
The Acting Executive Chairman, FCT-IRS, Mr Haruna Abdullahi, made the appeal in a statement signed by the
Head, Corporate Communications,
FCT-IRS, Mr. Mustapha Sumaila in Abuja.
The statement urges every taxable person working under MDAs, private organisations and the self employed to complete and sign income declaration form known as form A and return such to the FCT-IRS through any of the Service' tax offices.
"I am appealing to all residents of Abuja that are taxable as well as employers who we refer to as agents to do their civic responsibility and I urge them to file their annual returns before January 31 deadline, for the employers and March 31 for individual taxpayers'.
According to the statement, compliance with section 41 of the Personal Income Tax Act (PITA) 2011 (as amended), all taxable persons, resident in the FCT are required to file annual returns of all incomes from all sources of the previous year within January 1st to 31st March in the preceding year, using the prescribed form A.
Similarly, the statement reminds employers to file Employer's Annual Declaration and Certificate, referring to form H1 and form G.
"Every employer is expected to file Annual Declaration and Certificate to FCT-IRS of all emoluments paid to its employees resident in the FCT for the year 2021 that just ended … employers have, not later than January 31, 2022 to do so, using the appropriate form H1."
It warns that failure to file these returns or late submission attracts penalties and the FCT-IRS would not hesitate to apply the laws where necessary.

The Rise of Wolf 8: Witnessing the Triumph of Yellowstone's Underdog (Hardcover)
By Rick McIntyre, Robert Redford (Foreword by)
"The powerful origin story of one of Yellowstone's greatest and most famous wolves."
--Washington Post
Book One in The Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone Series.
Book Two, The Reign of Wolf 21, is available now.
Yellowstone National Park was once home to an abundance of wild wolves--but park rangers killed the last of their kind in the 1920s. Decades later, the rangers brought them back, with the first wolves arriving from Canada in 1995.
This is the incredible true story of one of those wolves.
Wolf 8 struggles at first--he is smaller than the other pups, and often bullied--but soon he bonds with an alpha female whose mate was shot. An unusually young alpha male, barely a teenager in human years, Wolf 8 rises to the occasion, hunting skillfully, and even defending his family from the wolf who killed his father. But soon he faces a new opponent: his adopted son, who mates with a violent alpha female. Can Wolf 8 protect his valley without harming his prot g ?
" The Rise of Wolf 8] is a goldmine for information on all aspects of wolf behavior and clearly shows they are clever, smart, and emotional beings."
--Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today
Rick McIntyre has worked with the National Park Service for more than fifty years and has recorded more sightings of wild wolves than any other person. During one fifteen year period, he rose before dawn every day to observe the Yellowstone wolves. Now retired, he has spoken about the Yellowstone Wolves with news outlets such as 60 Minutes and NPR's Snap Judgement, and is profiled extensively in American Wolf by Nate Blakeslee.Robert Redford--actor, director, and producer--has been a passionate art and environmental activist since the early 1970s. He has been an advocate for climate change awareness, clean energy, and habitat protection for over forty years.

Home 2013 April News Win Lauren Graham's Someday, Someday, Maybe and Gilmore Girls S1!
Win Lauren Graham's Someday, Someday, Maybe and Gilmore Girls S1!
April 22, 2013 | by	shep | 0
Let's Talk About TV is back with another contest in celebration of the release of Lauren Graham's new book Someday, Someday, Maybe. You could win a copy of the book and the first season of Gilmore Girls on DVD!
From Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes a witty, charming, and hilariously relatable debut novel about a struggling young actress trying to get ahead―and keep it together―in New York City.
It's January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing "important" work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club. Her roommates―her best friend Jane, and Dan, an aspiring sci-fi writer―are supportive, yet Franny knows a two-person fan club doesn't exactly count as success. Everyone tells her she needs a backup plan, and though she can almost picture moving back home and settling down with her perfectly nice ex-boyfriend, she's not ready to give up on her goal of having a career like her idols Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep. Not just yet. But while she dreams of filling their shoes, in the meantime, she'd happily settle for a speaking part in almost anything—and finding a hair product combination that works.
Everything is riding on the upcoming showcase for her acting class, where she'll finally have a chance to perform for people who could actually hire her. And she can't let herself be distracted by James Franklin, a notorious flirt and the most successful actor in her class, even though he's suddenly started paying attention. Meanwhile, her bank account is rapidly dwindling, her father wants her to come home, and her agent doesn't return her calls. But for some reason, she keeps believing that she just might get what she came for.
Someday, Someday, Maybe is a story about hopes and dreams, being young in a city, and wanting something deeply, madly, desperately. It's about finding love, finding yourself, and perhaps most difficult of all in New York City, finding an acting job.
Lauren Graham is an actress best known for her roles on the critically acclaimed series Gilmore Girls and Parenthood. She has performed on Broadway and appeared in such films as Bad Santa, Evan Almighty, and Because I Said So. She holds a BA in English from Barnard College and an MFA in acting from Southern Methodist University. She lives in New York and Los Angeles.

A reference to Red Qiraji Resonating Crystal and the achievement Why? Because It's Red linked to it.
At least they are not playing around with the black, this one would piss off tons of dedicated people.
"First of all, how dare you."
I like their sense of humor. I really do.
I feel it would have been even more of a taunt from Blizzard if instead of "No longer resonates. Too bad - it's a red one.", it said "No longer resonates. Too bad - it's a BLACK one."
"No longer resonates. Too bad - it's a red one."

NLNG Supplied 40 Percent of Domestic LPG Market – Attah
By ogrepublic	 Last updated Jun 11, 2021
The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited
Post Views: 1224
The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited supplied about 370,000 metric tonnes (MT) about 40 percent of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to the domestic market in 2020.
Mr Tony Attah, Managing Director, NLNG, made the disclosure during a panel session at the ongoing 2021 Nigeria International Petroleum Summit (NIPS) on Tuesday in Abuja.
The theme of the conference is "From Crisis to Opportunities: New Approach to the Future of Hydrocarbons."
Attah said that NLNG was meeting about 40 percent of the demand for the domestic Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) market with the supply of about 370,000 metric tonnes (MT) of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to the domestic market in 2020.
This is as NLNG pointed out that the consumption of the domestic LPG market was over 1 million metric tonnes in 2020.
Attah said that the NLNG was also increasing its supply to the domestic market from 350,000MT annually to 450,000MT to meet the growing consumer demand.
Attah, in his speech, said that gas has a pivotal role to play in Nigeria's socio-economic development as the world moves toward energy transition and renewables.
The NLNG boss explained that Nigeria needs to take full advantage of its resources for national development with 203TCF of proven gas reserves, adding that this was one of the mandates of the NLNG.
He revealed that Nigeria was now currently ranked 7th in the world in gas flaring compared to the 2nd that it was 15 years ago, noting that the country would continue to work toward reducing its carbon emissions.
Attah said, "Cleaner energy is a big deal to us at NLNG. More than 100,000 people die annually as a result of inhalation of exhaustive waste and they are mostly women and children. So, we want to support the government to bring cleaner energy to Nigerians."
Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive, OVH Energy Marketing Ltd., Mr Huub Stokman, expressed optimism that the Petroleum Industry Bill would be passed soon by the National Assembly adding that an effective legislative framework was needed to attract investments to Nigeria's oil and gas industry and create value across the value chain.
The Director, Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Mr Sarki Auwalu, called for more collaboration among stakeholders in the industry. He said competitiveness, security, reliability and sanctity of contracts were key to making Nigeria attractive for investors.

Combine and mix the dry ingredients. Then mix in the water until fully incorporated and it starts to stick to the sides. Now cover and set aside overnight until it's at least doubled in size.
Next morning the dough ready to be shaped. This dough is very sticky so you'll need lots of flour on you board to help with the shaping.
Now wiped with an egg wash and some sesame seeds. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Big Sandwich here I come!
Nice job DH. Wish I had more ambition to bake bread. Tastes so much better than store bought.
Those look delicious. I can just imagine one piled with pulled pork or brisket.
Those look great, big sandwich indeed!
Nice looking bread. I have a saying about homemade bread. Homemade bread will make you want to slap Mrs Baird.
I had a bunch of fries' leftover from eating at a local burger place that I had saved so I decided to make a popular burrito here in San Diego. It is known as a California Burrito and typically has Carne Asada, French Fries, Frijoles, Cheese, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, and Mexican Creama. (A 7-layer burrito if you want) Any way I started out making everything and was taking plenty of pics with my phone camera but somewhere in the middle of my cook I somehow (and I have no idea how) set my phone back to "Default" mode. Anyway, I don't have access to those pics as of now and may never have access to them as they may end up being erased. So, I whipped out my Canon 70S and took the following pics at the end of the cook. I had purchased some Carne Asada and flour tortillas from the Mercado. I made up a bowl of Pico, A bowl of guacamole and some Mexican Rice. (No Pics) I then grilled up the Carne Asada. Here it is on the grill.
I brought this in and diced it up into small squares.
I then started to assemble the burrito. Started out with a nice layer of Mexican Cheese. Then the Carne Asada, Fries and some Pinquito beans.
Then some Pico de Gallo, guacamole and some Mexican Creama.
I rolled it up and placed it on the grill.
Here it is done and ready to cut.
And here are the plated shots with some spicy carrots, Mexican rice and a Modelo Negra.
Life is very hectic for us these days and I don't get the chance to cook much these days and much more so to document those cooks when I do. It is the season we're living in for now with taking care of my 93 year old M.I.L. with Alzheimer's. Anyone who's gone though this knows how difficult it is.
Anyway, last weekend I decided to remake the Blackened Chicken Torta I made a few years ago. First thing I made was some Pickled Red Onion.
I then made up some Blackened Chicken rub and proceeded to make up the Blackened Chicken and Torta.
I pounded some chicken breasts out to around 1/2" thick.
I placed my CI skillet on the on side burner of my gasser and let it get smoking hot and blackened the chicken.
I then toasted the torta roll and spread on some Frank's Red Hot Mayo, a chicken breast and some pickled red onion.
some lettuce and the lid.
Here are the Plated shots with a Stone Xococeza Mocha Stout and some Sun Chips.
Started out making the sauce.
Roasting the veggies and cooking the chicken.
Once everything was done I mixed the chicken with some slivered onion and some cheese. I rolled / wrapped up a dozen enchiladas. I covered them with more sauce and some cheese and baked them on the kamado for 25 minutes.
I plated some up with some fresh made Mexican rice, Frijoles', some radish and a Modelo Negra.
Spent an uneventful time at home watching it rain outside most of the weekend. The one thing we could do was prepare for the Super Bowl. What goes good while watching a football game? Wings & Thangs of course. I've made these Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings and Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins before and they turned out great so I made them again and decided to share the pics.
They were extremely delicious just like the last time.


A Grand Grimoire consists of a collection of medieval manuscripts used in High Magic as well as the Black Magic Arts to conjure Celestial, Olympic and Angelic beings. It provides formulae together with instruction for the creation of magical tools, sigils, and symbols of the Deity the Magician wishes to work with.
Many Grimoires can seem very confusing and therefore useless to the student, but for the experienced Magician, they are a great asset and may provide a unique path to spiritual enlightenment.
Grimoirium Verum. Reputed to have been translated from the Hebrew by Plaingiere, a Dominucan Jesuit and published by Alibeck the Egyptian in 1517.
The Grand Grimoire with The Great Clavicle of Solomon.
The Secret Grimoire of Turiel. Translated from the Latin version of 1518, This Grimoire is illustrated with the sigils, signs, and symbols of medieval magic.
These 500 pages are printed on French Aged Parchment paper.
A Grand Grimoire consists of a collection of medieval manuscripts used in High Magic and the Black Arts to conjure Celestial, Olympic and Angelic beings.

Grimoirium Verum. Reputed to have been translated from the Hebrew by Plaingiere, a Dominucan Jesuit and published by Alibeck the Egyptian in 1517. The book, like many others, claims a connection to Solomon, but many believe that it was really written in the 18th century. Author unknown. The work concentrates on rituals for the summoning of demons, and gives "Characters" for some of these demons and therefore has gained the reputation of being one of the most notorious Grimoires of Black Magic.
The Grimoire of Honorius. The Grimoire of Honorius (Grimoire of Pope Honorius) was credited to Pope Honorius III, who succeeded Pope Innocent III in 1216. The Grimoire of Honorius is full of Christian benedictions and formulae for the control of the fallen angels and gaining their assistance in accomplishing certain magical requests. Translated from the old German of 1220.
The Grimoire not only instructed priests in the arts of demonology but virtually ordered them to learn how to conjure and control demons, as part of their priestly duties. It therefore purportedly gave the sanction of the papal office for priests to the practice of ritual magic.
The Secret Grimoire of Turiel. Translated from the Latin version of 1518, this famous Grimoire is well illustrated with the sigils, signs, and symbols of medieval magic. It came to light in 1927 after being sold to Marius Malchus in Spain by a defrocked priest and was then translated into English from the original. There is some opinion that the text may have been taken from an older magical manuscript, which one? Is not known. It is interesting to note that the Angel Turiel (Rock of God) is mentioned in the 1 Book of Enoch as one of the angels who fell from grace. The Grimoire gives the magician instructions on how to contact Turiel.
These 500 pages are printed on French Aged Parchment paper and hard bound in antique brown and beige Italian leather. This magnificent volume resembles the look of an antique book that once stood on the main shelf in the wizard's chamber and then was secretly passed down through generations of magicians. Without any doubt, it will connect the modern practitioner to the sacred world of magic where wizards and images of old still exist.
Hello my name is Matthew and I ordered a custom version of this book. I am, (as best as can be described with words) taken aback by the skill, and apparent love, that these people have for their craft.
I own a few extremely fine things despite my financial status, and this piece of art is the finest addition.
My book is the combined offerings of, first the key of solomon. followed by the clavis to the key, and finally the contents of the Occult black magick grand grimoir as described.
The cover is of the pictured Key of Solomon text with the sigil on the reverse. The front displays the text as I requested as well as my sigil.
Despite my not requesting a specific style of type, the raised letters suited the text perfectly in font and sizing. The sigil was beyond perfect.
The leather made it more organic looking, and the grain gave it seeming scales like a king snake or coachwhip.
The spine is sure and strong yet you can feel the mechanics of it, and are assured of its longevity and quality.
The insides of the cover bare another strip of leather each for added strength, and the tastefully colorful design reminds you of an old mason lodges tapestries.
Each leaf is uniform strong quality parchment with no sharpness for paper cuts but rather a microscopically ragged edge that gives it a slightly aged but new at the same time feel.
The illustrations and text are Very easy on the eyes but compact and efficiently compiled. Each page gives you a coulorfull design, top and bottom, that is pleasant and non distracting.
I was given three integrated red silk bookmarks that have been put to use in the 3 hours since its arrival.
The book of Solomon is CLEAR ! No rambling nonsense and opinions as found with other publishers(and the same can be said of the entire compendium). With it you find source knowledge with a small preface discussing the selected origin and issues with some of the other translations. But it is a clean well represented offering and likely the best you will find.
I cannot give a fair assessment to the rest but through skimming (which is hard to do, every page pulls you in ) I can assuredly say there will be No disappointment.
From what I've seen the Black Grimoir lives up to its name and is not to be trifled with.
The Clavis showcases original handwritten script and is surprisingly easy to read.
As it warns on the web page these books are not to be used in practice and I would agree solely based on experience this subject matter is best left to the Adept.
All in all the book has heft but is deceptively light and much larger than you can expect in size.
Its quality is without question excellent by any standard!
It arrived on time and was a thousand times worth the wait.
Also a bit of a warning if you have pets it will drive them nuts and I would suggest not having it around old buildings without a solid binding ritual.
They cleanse and bless each book but there is no escaping its content. Each printing is like a cutting from a mother plant and you must decide what it grows into.

On Monday 14 January, Torfaen Council opened statutory consultation on proposals to extend the age range of pupils at Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw.
The proposals for consultation which are now live, will extend the age range of pupils at Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw from the current 11-18 to 3-18 from September 2021.
In October 2018 the Welsh Government approved the council's £6 million bid for capital investment, which subject to consultation will deliver new primary and nursery accommodation on the Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw site. This investment will be fully funded by the Welsh Government to support its aim to create one million Welsh Speakers by 2050.
The proposals to be implemented by September 2021 would see an on-site nursery established for 30 full time equivalent 3 and 4 year olds and would also see Welsh Medium primary school catchment areas amended to reflect the additional proposed provision at Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw.
The consultation period will close on Monday 25 February 2019 and comments on the proposal can be made by writing to Mr Dermot McChrystal, Chief Officer, Education & Lead Director for Children and Young People (FAO Mark Horton) c/o Torfaen County Borough Council, Civic Centre, Pontypool, Torfaen NP4 6YB, emailing 21stcenturylearning@torfaen.gov.uk or by attending one of the consultation 'drop-in' events.


Within the re-entrant piston and cylinder design, the test fluid is applied to a chamber on the outside of the cylinder as well as to the inside.
The area of the outside of the cylinder is larger than the inside giving a reduced clearance between the piston and the cylinder at higher pressures. This design reduces the rate of fluid leakage, thus increasing the time available for calibration of instruments prior to pumping to restore fluid loss.

Andre Gray: Luton Town to receive at least £1.1m in sell-on fees
From the section Luton
Andre Gray scored 52 league goals for Luton during a two-year spell
League Two Luton will receive at least £1.1m in sell-on fees from Andre Gray's £9m move to Burnley from Brentford.
The 24-year-old moved to Kenilworth Road in 2012 and left for Brentford for a reported £500,000 last summer.
Striker Gray scored 18 goals as the Bees reached the Championship play-offs last term, leading Burnley to pay a club-record fee for him.
Luton will receive £1.1m spread over three seasons, and a further £700,000 if he helps the Clarets win promotion.
Hatters chief executive Gary Sweet told the club website: "Everyone at the club takes huge pride in seeing players who have developed with us blossom in their careers.
"We're absolutely thrilled for Andre in this case - he's a very honest, ambitious and hard-working player who deserves every success.
"We would also like to personally thank those people who played their part in the scouting and recruitment process of Andre, as well as those who have helped develop him into the player he now is."
Meanwhile, Luton's 20-year-old striker Jack Marriott has signed a contract to keep him at Kenilworth Road until the summer of 2017, with the option of extending to 2019.

Boutique Wines, Craft Beer, the Great Outdoors & Plenty of History — Why Loudoun County is a Top Destination to Visit with Your Credit Card Rewards
By: Brittney Mayer
In a Nutshell: Though the oft-blogged beach vacations are all well and good, sometimes you simply want to explore a different kind of landscape, one with rolling green hills — and lots of wine. Known as DC's wine country, Loudoun County is the perfect place to cash in some credit card rewards for a picturesque weekend away. Home to 40 boutique wineries and dozens of local breweries, Loudoun has made a name for itself as a must-visit craft beverage destination, but that's not all it offers. Framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the scenic Potomac River, Loudoun also offers something for nearly any outdoors lover. And you can explore it all while touring historic towns and estates that preserve their centuries-old legacies.
Whether you're a credit card rewards churner or just a regular cardholder looking to cash-in on your hard-earned points, redeeming your rewards for travel is almost always the most valuable way to redeem. But while travel blogs are often full of island getaways, not everyone daydreams about itchy sand beaches and 95-degree weather. Some people would rather absorb a little culture than catch some rays.
It's folks interested more in doing more than lounging waterside who flock to places like Washington, DC, each year, many of whom land in Washington Dulles Airport on their way to the nation's capital, excited to gawk and gander at its monuments and history. But what those tourists may not realize is that they're actually passing right through what may be an even better vacation destination: Loudoun County.
"Loudoun is a premier East Coast culinary and craft beverage destination," said Jennifer Sigal, the Media Relations Manager for VisitLoudoun.org. "We actually lead the state in terms of the number of wineries and craft breweries located right here in the county."
Instead of taking the 20-mile journey into Washington, DC, those who take the time to explore Loudoun can enjoy a bucolic agricultural landscape dotted with boutique wineries and craft breweries rich in local flavor, as well as the opportunity for a range of outdoor activities, all while exploring historic Virginia.
"One of the things that's interesting about Loudoun is that the landscape is very unique," said Jennifer. "On the east side, we're anchored by Dulles Airport and a bustling technology corridor. But, as visitors head west, the landscape transforms and the agritourism side takes center stage. You've got green, rolling hills and the beautiful Potomac River, all creating the perfect feel for a weekend getaway."
Tour Over 40 Boutique Wineries Full of Unique Flavors
While most people picture the iconic Napa Valley when they think of wine country, you don't need to travel all the way to the West Coast to enjoy an idyllic wine-tasting weekend. Loudoun County is DC's Wine Country, offering dozens of vintages unavailable anywhere else.
"We have 40 wineries here in Loudoun, and what makes the wine region really unique is it's all mostly boutique wineries," described Jennifer. "You're not going to see our wines being mass produced and available all over the country. It's all part of the experience; you really have to come here to try a Virginia wine."
Loudoun County is home to 40 boutique wineries offering unique local vintages.
It's the exclusivity of many of the wines that make the experience truly one-of-a-kind — but don't think you'll be limited to the same handful of flavors. The area's diverse landscapes also mean a lot of diversity in the soil, giving local winemakers a range of grape varieties with which to work.
"The soil actually varies a lot because of our unique geography — with the river on one side and the mountains on the other — so you actually see a wide variety of grapes growing here, too," said Jennifer. "The winemakers have, over the years, experimented a lot with which grapes grow well where, and you get a lot of climate and temperature changes, as well."
And while Loudoun may be home to many smaller, family-owned wineries, you won't miss out on that elegant Napa Valley feel. Particularly at the height of harvest season when all the vines are heavy with fruit.
"October is Virginia Wine Month, and from the end of September until the end of October is harvest time," described Jennifer. "It's the best time to visit if you want to see the colors on the vines. You'll also enjoy special events at our wineries, like special wine dinners and tours that will take you out into the vineyard and show you the whole process."
Hop Onto the LoCo Ale Trail for a Taste of Local Craft Beers
Although Loudoun's wineries have been making a name for themselves for decades, the county's growing craft beer scene has only recently started to gain momentum, thanks in part to changes in local regulations.
"Craft beer regulations have changed over the last several years, and it's allowed breweries to operate much more like the wineries do," Jennifer explained. "They've been able to open in rural areas and serve by the glass — it's been a much more welcoming environment for craft beer."
Not only does the local Loudoun Economic Development department help and encourage new breweries to open in the area, but owners also get a boost from Visit Loudoun.y
"We created the LoCo Ale Trail a few years ago, and that really positioned Loudoun as a must-visit craft beer destination," said Jennifer. "We've become a brand that's pretty well-known in the DC region as the place to go for craft beer."
Visitors can head to VisitLoudoun.org and download a handy LoCo Ale Trail Pocket Guide, a comprehensive map identifying more than 24 local breweries and grouping them into easily managed tours to help you make the most of your trip.
Those who want to maximize their craft beer adventure may want to plan for an August trip so they can visit during Virginia Craft Beer Month — which includes the 2018 Beer Bloggers & Writers Conference this year.
Having a hard time choosing between stopping by your favorite winery or taking a stroll along the Ale Trail? You may be able to get the best of both worlds, as some of Loudoun's wineries have joined the brewery bandwagon, incorporating breweries into their farms and vineyards.
One of Loudoun County's dozens of local craft breweries, Quattro Goomba's Brewery is located next door to the company's winery.
"While they currently need to be in separate buildings, you can often visit the brewery, then travel a short way to the other side of the property and you're in the winery," explained Jennifer.
Head Outdoors to Take a Kayak Down the Potomac or Hike the Appalachian Trail
Of course, no matter how great the wine or beer, there's only so much drinking one can usually manage. When you're ready to take a break from the booze, you can take advantage of Loudoun's unique geography as you explore the outdoors. Whether you like to kayak, hike, or horseback ride, Loudoun has something for you.
"We have a great outdoors scene," said Jennifer. "Loudoun actually extends all the way up to the Potomac River on the north, so you can get out there and do kayaking and white water rafting. We also have the mountains to the west, which offer an access point to the Appalachian Trail as well as a range of zip lining activities."
Nature lovers can get down to earth with a hike along the Appalachian Trail.
For the horse-hearted folks, Loudoun also offers a rich equestrian scene. In fact, it's not just wineries and breweries that Loudoun has in greater abundance than anywhere else in the state — Loudoun is also home to more horses than any other county in Virginia.
While Loudoun is definitely wine country, it's also been horse country for centuries.
According to VisitLoudoun.org, "There are more horses here than in any other county in Virginia, which is why many Olympic riders live and train here. So, while you're here visiting, watch a jumper show at one of our equestrian event facilities, get adventurous on a horseback ride, or go shopping for your own equestrian souvenir."
And for those looking for some horse-related fun in the great indoors, Loudoun is also home to the National Sporting Library and Museum, which tells the story of sporting life through books and art.
"The Sporting Museum is actually really unique," said Jennifer. "They have over 20,000 books, periodicals, and art collections all capturing equestrian history from around the world. There's even a rare book room that holds an incredible collection"
Stroll Along Timeless Avenues & Experience a Little History
While the National Sporting Museum may not be to everyone's taste, it's only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to the history abundant in Loudoun — as one might expect from a destination just a stone's throw from the nation's capital.
Loudoun County is home to more than a dozen towns and villages that still retain their historic charm.
To start, the county is home to more than a dozen towns and villages, many of which have preserved the look and feel of their historic lineages. You can stroll idyllic avenues, visit dozens of boutique shops and restaurants, and explore local art galleries, all within a short distance of your favorite local winery or craft brewery.
As the site puts it, "Any proper wine collection comes with a variety of tastes. And Loudoun County is no different. The historic grounds of Middleburg, the rolling countryside of Lovettsville, the streetscapes of Leesburg — it's all just part of Loudoun County's collection of towns and villages. Explore how each town's charm adds to the unforgettable experience that is DC's Wine Country."
Another good way to explore Loudoun's past is to tour one of its many historic estates. The 200-year-old Oatlands Historic House and Gardens, for instance, boasts many original buildings and an elaborate English terrace garden that blooms in the springtime. Stop by in the afternoon to enjoy tea in the historic carriage house.
And speaking of carriages, don't forget to stop by Morven Park to explore the Winmill Carriage Museum. Home to 40 antique coaches, carriages, sleds, and carts, the museum boasts a miniature road coach once owned by General Tom Thumb of the Barnum and Bailey Circus and a calèche used on film by Grace Kelly.
After touring the museum, be sure to stick around the estate for a look at the historic Morven Park Mansion, a 240-year-old home that once belonged to governors from both Maryland and Virginia. The well-preserved rooms house a variety of antique furniture and artwork, including a beautiful collection of 16th-century Belgian tapestries.
Escape the Washington Bustle with a Trip to Wine Country
Although there's no doubt that Washington, DC, offers a lot for tourists to explore, more and more people are eschewing the hustle and bustle of the big city for the bucolic escape of Loudoun County. Not only does Loudoun offer a vibrant craft beverage experience, but it also offers plenty for outdoors lovers and history buffs to enjoy.
But it's not only Loudoun's entertainment and attractions that make it a great vacation destination. It also provides a wide range of accommodations to cater to nearly any budget, including everything from the quaint bed-and-breakfast to the luxury resort.
In addition to the expected hotels and B&Bs, Loudoun is also home to two high-end resorts, including the Salamander Resort & Spa.
"We have a lot of hotels and beautiful B&Bs, but we also have two fantastic resorts, both of which offer high-end spas and restaurants," said Jennifer. "We have the Salamander Resort & Spa, which offers a full-service equestrian center, and Lansdowne Resort & Spa, where guests can enjoy 45-holes of championship golf."
And getting to Loudoun is, of course, quite simple; the county is home to the renowned Dulles Airport, through which millions of DC tourists travel every year — so you may have already been to Loudoun without even knowing it.

— The Patriots picked up Slater's contract option earlier this spring, all but ensuring he'll return for a 12th season in New England.
Having entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick in 2008, Slater is the third-longest tenured player on the Patriots' roster behind quarterback Tom Brady and kicker Stephen Gostkowski.
— Speaking of Gostkowski, the Patriots re-signed their veteran kicker last week. They also re-upped punter Ryan Allen early in free agency, keeping their core specialist trio (along with long snapper Joe Cardona) intact.
"It's exciting to have those guys back," Slater said. "They mean a lot to what we do. They've been so consistent over the years. They have great chemistry together, so you think about having that operation with those guys intact, it's really big. And I think we're all excited to come out and hopefully have another productive year, but we know we have a lot of work to do.
— Slater is thrilled to have special teams-focused running back Brandon Bolden back in the fold. Bolden returned to the Patriots in free agency after a one-year stint with the Miami Dolphins.
Bolden should help the Patriots in kick and punt coverage, which were unexpected weak points for much of the 2018 season. The same goes for new safety Terrence Brooks, who led the NFL in special teams snaps played last season with the New York Jets.
— After offering a heartfelt tribute to retired tight end Rob Gronkowski, Slater also gave his reaction to the departures of wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea and character coach Jack Easterby, with whom he worked closely.
"It'll be tough," Slater said. "Personally, I'm very appreciative to Chad. We spent 10 years together. He taught me how to compete for a role. And the way that he worked with me, with my situation being a little bit unique there in the receiver room, he always made me feel a part of the group, and he always coached me the same way he would anyone else. So I'm very appreciative of that, and I wish him nothing but the best.
O'Shea was one of several Patriots assistants who followed Brian Flores to Miami. Easterby left the Patriots after Super Bowl LIII and now is with the Houston Texans.

How to Play Pirates Dice
By: Contributor Updated April 12, 2017
dice and money image by Jeffrey Zalesny from Fotolia.com
Web Sudoku - Play Free Sudoku online
Pirate Dice is a "Pirates of the Caribbean" themed bluffing game that you can buy in most popular retail stores. It is based on the game Liars Dice and was seen played in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." With its skulled dice and barnacle-encrusted dice cups, it's a great game for some piratical fun with friends.
Give each player five dice and a dice cup. Have each player roll one die; the person who rolled the highest number goes first. Each player then puts their five dice into their own cup, shakes the cup and puts the cup upside down on the table with their dice hidden underneath. Players may look at their own dice.
Begin bidding with the player who won the dice roll. She should look at her dice and determine a bid that consists of all the dice on the table. For example, she may say, "Five twos." With that bid, she is guessing that there are five or more twos displayed on all the dice within play. The skull and crossbones side of the die is wild, so the bid would include those as well.
Bidding continues around the table with players raising the bid. Players may raise the bid of the quantity of dice or the value on the dice. Players may not lower the bid. For example, if the starting bid was five twos, a player can raise it by saying, "Six twos," "Five threes," or even "Seven fives."
Continue bidding until a player is ready to challenge the bid. If a player reaches his turn and doesn't think the bid is accurate, he may challenge by saying, "Never trust a pirate." All players must then reveal their dice, and count up the number of dice containing the value of the bid. The skull and crossbones dice should be included in this count. If the actual number is equal to or greater than the bid, the challenging player loses one die. If the number is less than the bid, the person who was challenged loses one die.
Keep playing rounds until nobody has dice except for one player. That player is declared the winner.
Keep track of the number of dice in play. The odds of a certain quantity of dice containing the same value decrease as fewer dice are in play.

There are a lot of things in the works here at Triple H Ranch. I have been reading about hugelkulturs and that has started some wheels turning in my mind. 'What is a hugelkulture' you might ask. Well essentially it's a raised garden bed using woody debris as a base and covered in soil. The wood retains moisture and slowly decomposes, adding nutrients and moisture to the soil. Since part of our property is wooded, we have lots of broken branches and rotting logs I could put to good use.
As good as this method sounds, I do have some concerns. Many of the after images I've seen, include hugelkulture's that are covered in weeds. One comment my husband made after watching a video with me was "it looks like any pile of dirt after a couple weeks". Weeds love having dirt stirred up (why I don't till) so we would have to be careful where we get dirt for this project. However, by using the same mulching method that I use in the garden, perhaps it would work for us.
If anyone has used this method I would love to hear your thoughts.
I had never heard of this before. It sounds interesting, although I don't know if the soil would stay put. Maybe that's why they allow weeds all over it? To keep the soil on?
I may try something similar one day.
My husband would like to try this, too. As long as he hauls the logs up from the river...lol.
One of my favorite bloggers put huggys into use a few years ago (or maybe it was just last year) but she has quite a few posts on the subject and its a great blog also. Wendy's site is whishin.blogspot.com and called little house in the big woods. I bet you'll enjoy it!
Since we have woods on our acreage and lots of downed timber, this intrigues me. I am going to look up more on this subject.Thanks.


BACKGROUND: Understanding Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) transmission is essential to guide efficient tuberculosis control strategies. Traditional strain typing lacks sufficient discriminatory power to resolve large outbreaks. Here, we tested the potential of using next generation genome sequencing for identification of outbreak-related transmission chains. METHODS AND FINDINGS: During long-term (1997 to 2010) prospective population-based molecular epidemiological surveillance comprising a total of 2,301 patients, we identified a large outbreak caused by an Mtb strain of the Haarlem lineage. The main performance outcome measure of whole genome sequencing (WGS) analyses was the degree of correlation of the WGS analyses with contact tracing data and the spatio-temporal distribution of the outbreak cases. WGS analyses of the 86 isolates revealed 85 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), subdividing the outbreak into seven genome clusters (two to 24 isolates each), plus 36 unique SNP profiles. WGS results showed that the first outbreak isolates detected in 1997 were falsely clustered by classical genotyping. In 1998, one clone (termed "Hamburg clone") started expanding, apparently independently from differences in the social environment of early cases. Genome-based clustering patterns were in better accordance with contact tracing data and the geographical distribution of the cases than clustering patterns based on classical genotyping. A maximum of three SNPs were identified in eight confirmed human-to-human transmission chains, involving 31 patients. We estimated the Mtb genome evolutionary rate at 0.4 mutations per genome per year. This rate suggests that Mtb grows in its natural host with a doubling time of approximately 22 h (400 generations per year). Based on the genome variation discovered, emergence of the Hamburg clone was dated back to a period between 1993 and 1997, hence shortly before the discovery of the outbreak through epidemiological surveillance. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that WGS is superior to conventional genotyping for Mtb pathogen tracing and investigating micro-epidemics. WGS provides a measure of Mtb genome evolution over time in its natural host context. Please see later in the article for the Editors' Summary.

Super Troopers 2 (2018)
When it comes to comedy sequels they are usually hit and miss. In recent years we have had some bad ones such as Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser and Dumb and Dumber To. Super Troopers 2 offers many laughs such as the troopers taking pills and them having no idea what they are for and Farva finally getting his liter of cola. This offers many of the same gags from the first movie but does take a different spin on them. Rob Lowe I was not expecting to be in this movie but you can tell he was having a lot of fun playing the mayor of Canada and worked well with Broken Lizard. If you are a fan of the first one then I also recommend this one and it was a lot of seeing these characters back for another ride and hopefully Broken Lizard makes a sequel to Beerfest next.
Stephen D false
Not a great or even a good movie but not as bad as people put it out to be. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck lack chemistry which does not make sense because they were romantically involved outside of the film. Jennifer Lopez does actually do a decent performance and makes it somewhat entertaining and I did enjoy seeing her talk to Ben Affleck like he was dumb throughout the film and it was fun seeing her defend Justin Bartha's character. Ben Affleck's performance is quite annoying and tries too hard to look and sound tough but instead he puts a bad impression of what he thinks gangsters in films act like and he tends to overact a lot and throws the f bomb around more than Joe Pesci did in Casino. Justin Bartha did decent in his role and did try his best to act like an autistic person and he was clearly inspired by Dustin Hoffman's role from Rain Man. Throughout the film Justin Bartha wants to go to the Baywatch which makes me wonder how long ago this was written because Baywatch was off the air for 2 years when this was made. There is a few entertaining elements here such as Jennifer Lopez giving teenagers a lecture at a restaurant and Ben Affleck breaking their computer at the end of the scene or when Ben Affleck tells Justin Bartha the Baywatch is closed with a pretend phone call. I also enjoyed seeing Justin Bartha sing Baby Got Back. It is not a great comedy but it's not as painful as other comedies such as The Master of Disguise, Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, and Dumb and Dumber To. I would not put it up as one of the worst movies ever made either because there is much worse like Battlefield Earth and Son of the Mask and I definitely don't think Martin Brest should have quit directing movies after this because he just hit a speed bump and I am sure he could have bounced back after this if he wanted to.
Strange Wilderness (2008)
Has a lot of talent involved and I have enjoyed Steve Zahn in other films such as Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, Saving Silverman, and National Security. Steve Zahn acts just alright in this stoner comedy and his best to deliver laughs. If you heavily enjoy stoner comedies and Happy Madison films then you would probably enjoyed this movie
Ed (1996)
If you like monkeys and baseball then you might enjoy it. Not a great family comedy or great comedy in general but Matt LeBlanc does okay at best in his performance. The plot is stupid and there are better baseball movies such as The Sandlot and Rookie of the Year but there is a few laughs here that kids might enjoy.
Identity Thief (2013)
Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy play two different characters but I enjoyed their adventure. Melissa McCarthy's character is not a good person but you end up feeling bad for her when you hear her story. You also hope that Jason Bateman gets his identity back and does not lose his job because he has 2 kids and a third kid on the way. The talented Amanda Peet plays Jason Bateman's wife but I wish she would have gotten more screen time.

Climb Aboard the DIY Sub Where the Coast Guard Found 8 Tons of Cocaine
A pretty impressive way to smuggle drugs.
By Eric Limer Published: Aug 7, 2015
Last month the U.S. Coast Guard, Navy, and Customs and Border Patrol teamed up for a raid on a DIY submarine that was discovered to be carrying 16 tons of cocaine on board. Now the Coast Guard has released video of the raid which gives us a closer look at the impressive DIY submersible.
Not a true submarine, the craft had an entrance that floated just slightly above the water, making it more of a very covert, low-riding boat, but all of the crew and cargo was hiding out below the waterline. The ship was discovered to be carrying 8 tons (16,000 pounds) of cocaine, but only 6 tons made it ashore. The remaining two tons were left on the ship in an attempt to keep it stable as it was towed to land, but wound up sinking along with the ship in what sounds like it could be the setup to season 3 of True Detective.

Drug running is far from a noble pursuit, but you sort of have to appreciate the engineering that went into this DIY craft, almost as much as you appreciate the stones on the agents who raided it.

The Villages consistently ranks among the fastest-growing communities in the state. It added 37,000 residences since 2010.
Dimensions of Growth: The 2020 Census shows the new face of Florida
From 2010-20, Florida's population grew by 14.6% to more than 21.5 million. The boom didn't include all of Florida's counties, however.
Mike Vogel | 10/27/2021
In the 1990s, every county in Florida grew in population, continuing a historic pattern of nearly every county growing in most decades. Then came the 2020 Census, which revealed that 17 counties had lost population since 2010. "It actually is quite unusual for Florida counties to lose population from one Census to the next," says Stefan Rayer, who directs population studies at the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research. The numbers fit a national trend, however — nationally, 42% of counties saw their populations fall after 2010.
In Florida, the losses came in small counties in Florida's interior and northern tier. All but three of the 17 are landlocked. And all but Putnam have fewer than 50,000 people. Gadsden lost the most people, 2,563 — 5.5% of its population. Gulf County, one of the three on the water, lost the most people in percentage terms at 10.5% (1,617 people). Rayer says some of the losses came as people were displaced by Hurricane Michael in 2018. The aggregate loss for the 17 counties: 17,683 people, a number that barely dented the statewide growth of 2.74 million during the decade.
The dominant trend in growth continues: Florida is growing because of in-migration rather than naturally. Even before the pandemic, mortuaries were busier than maternity wards in 40 of Florida's 67 counties. The pandemic pushed that number to 54, Rayer says.
A Housing Surge, But …
Supply struggles to keep up with demand.
Hutson Cos.' SilverLeaf development in St. Johns County is just finishing its first year. From April 2020 to August 2021, SilverLeaf saw 1,145 contracts signed with home buyers and held 576 closings. Chalk it up to demand and the pandemic. The company has been surprised by the number of people buying via virtual tours without ever visiting a model home or eyeballing lots in person. "Demand is very strong," says Travis Hutson, Hutson's vice president. "We are in a great location and offer a unique community for this market." He says it's the only large master-planned community in the area without a community development district.
The state overall added 875,770 housing units from 2010 to 2020. In the heavyweight category is Orange County, home to Orlando, which grew its number of housing units by 15.2%, the 10th-fastest pace in the state. The unit number also is big: 74,012 new homes.
SilverLeaf's home county of St. Johns, south of Jacksonville, saw a nearly 33% increase — 29,260 homes — since 2010, second in percentage terms only to Sumter, home to The Villages. SilverLeaf's 8,500 acres are slated to hold 10,700 homes and 2.65 million square feet of mixed-use and commercial space, along with 3,500 conservation acres.
Hutson says 40% of buyers come from outside Florida — predominantly from the Northeast — 30% from within the market and 30% from South Florida. "St. Johns has always been a strong market. Our local leaders and staff pride themselves on smart growth decisions, and we trust them in their abilities to lead and manage this county for future growth," Hutson says.
Housing Vacancies
Pass a dwelling in Walton County and the odds are nearly 50-50 its owner isn't there — though you might find a vacationing family. Walton, a county on the Gulf in Northwest Florida, leads the state with a 46.7% housing vacancy rate, a function of the number of second homes and vacation rentals there.
Walton is one of eight counties where the vacancy rate is north of 30%. The other counties with vacancy rates that high are a mix of small counties and counties associated with vacationeers, such as the Florida Keys' Monroe County or Bay County in the Panhandle. Only one of the state's 10 most populous counties, Lee County, made the list of top counties for vacancy rate.
By contrast, three of the most populous counties — Duval, Hillsborough and Orange — made the list of the 10 with vacancy rates under 10%. Seminole County, adjoining Orange, had the lowest vacancy rate by county in Florida at 5.9%.
GROWTH SPOTLIGHT
In terms of numbers, no Florida county grew more than Orange since 2010. Its 283,952 net population gain was akin to dropping a new city with the population of Orlando within its boundaries.
From soaring traffic counts to the rooftops springing up in west Orange along SR 429 or in Lake Nona in the east, the growth load is evident. And another Orlando's worth of people every decade is in the cards. UF's Bureau of Economic and Business Research projects Orange will add another 248,489 people by 2030. The county predicts a net gain of 690,000 by 2050, bringing the county to 2.1 million people — bigger than Broward is now. Where to put them all, and supply them with water, is no small issue.
Orange County government is at work on a plan. It would designate some areas for land preservation and some, with limited capacity to add residents, as rural. Already developed areas, called "established" areas, would add "missing middle" houses such as granny flats and courtyard apartments consistent with existing neighborhoods. And areas such as International Drive would develop in an urban scale more like downtown Orlando. Between the "missing middle" accessory dwelling units, infill and greater densities in areas such as I-Drive, the areas could accommodate a couple hundred thousand newcomers.
The biggest cohort of newcomers will wind up living in new areas targeted for growth — 8,000 acres within a larger 31,000 acres within the county's urban services area. The county will become a lot more urban and denser, and new development will integrate businesses and employers with residential areas so that monster commutes are less likely and overall growth will be less automobile-centric. "We're growing at that incredible rate. Business as usual is simply unsustainable," says County Planning Division Manager Alberto Vargas. "As we continue to grow, we should be doing so in a much more responsible, sustainable way."
Hearings and more work are scheduled into 2022 with the board of commissioners having the final say in 2023.
Started by the late Gary Morse on the site of a trailer park, The Villages sprawls over parts of Sumter, Marion and Lake counties. It grew by 39% since 2010, from 93,000 people to 130,000, according to the Census, which says it is the nation's fastest-growing metro.
Today, The Villages encompasses more than 60,000 homes, along with 54 golf courses, three town centers and 60 pickleball courts. A University of Florida hospital is coming. Home prices range from the $180,000s to more than $1 million. South of SR 44, The Villages has entitlements for 70,000 homes, says spokesman Gary Lester. Most have yet to be built.
