Sanity is only temporary.....salt water is forever!!
Thanks xmen0075, there are more pics in the funnel.
Actually Tyler I haven't seen the quality and diversity of product in the GTA. Its actually a major concern for my build. I'm thinking I may have to get a custom order from one of the marine farms in the Thai/Philippines region to get what I want.
Thanks for the kind words. Just remember it took us something like fifty years(I think, maybe more) to win our first gold on home soil..........we still have allot to do in this arena but at least this journey does have a destination in mind!!
Thanks for the support. My skimmer for the main display tank arrives this weekend. All I know at this point is that it is eight feet high and self cleaning. The view from the other floors will become clear when I get the time to bring in the next chapter on the overall design philosophy from the begining. My problem is that I can only seem to type about three characters an hour so its gonna take time!!
Thanks Reefaquariumnut, the basement/renovation will and is planned to finish before major activities begin on the main display tank. The fish room on the other hand is another story and I am very involved with that phase at the moment.
The QT is separate from the "Mars Bars" as I call them. One of the main uses of the Mars systems is to manage the coral to optomize the managed result in the main display tank. This I have learned from my friend Chingchai. Oh yeah, one of the bars is for raising fish candidates for the main display tank.
I wanted to run geothermal and in fact had initiated a project when I was informed that my requirements would have been too great for the size of the footprint so I had to back off.......more on that one later!!
Thank you all for your interest and support. This is all new to me and as I have noted I am a terribly slow typist so I need to figure out the balance between answering questions and documenting the activities in the tank. For the life of me I don't know how Chingchai did it!!!!!!!!
Thanks Jim, the truth is that I can not take any credit whatsoever for the gardens. They are my wife's pervue and hers alone. She has the talent and I am blessed with the result. She would be pleased with your recognition and those of others on this thread. She is not interested in anything to do with computers/ doesn't have an email address and in fact would not know how to turn one on, but, she sure as hell knows her gardens!!!!!!
Its both closed and open with enough water movement planned to reverse Niagara Falls but that is a separate chapter. Stay tuned.
Awesome, I know what it takes to get there or at least my wife does. Please don't tell her you are helping your wife, I will never hear the end of it.
peter please dont reverse the falls as im directly in the next best path for all that water to go over the escarpment and down into Lewiston------> Lake Ontario my answer on balance of build threads Q/A is respond to relevant Q's only and leave the comments to a general thank you. I felt bad doing this at first but it was the only way i could get progress info in.
from Canada. One thing I would like to ask, Did you buy your Rock from ORG or did you imported it directly?
(Mississauga). We hobbies like to give a helping hand.
Wow Peter! This is amazing!!!! I love the idea of the L shaped tank with viewing from multiple levels.
What a great tribute and what a great trip this build will be!
Death, Taxes, and QT'g are the only things I am 100% certain on.
Rarity and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Don't ask "how much $" a fish costs but rather "how much enjoyment" will I receive from this animal.
Chris, thank you very much. I am looking forward to the journey as well. The feedback from everyone has been energizing and motivating to say the least.
Your tank is bigger than my house. Loving it. Your home is beautiful too. Glad to see something like this in North America.
or should i say go peter.
go to oakville quite often.im located in streetsville,if you ever need a hand dont be scared to ask.
Good God, I just realized I have a 120G nano for a tank!
Are you using any local "reef" talent for this build (be it working or consulting) or is it all your baby?
WOW!!! Now this is a crazy cool build! SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Good luck with everything, hope everything goes smoothly.
Thank you everyone, I am beginning to understand just how incredibly beneficial it is to have the honest enthusiasm and goodwill behind you on this incredible journey. I am trying to juggle 17 balls in the air at one time at the moment so my next attempt to share the progress is a wee bit later than I anticipated. When I get some uninterrupted time at the keyboard without the "are you listening to me or playing on the computer" tapes playing, I will happily answer the earlier questions. Also, in keeping with my disciplined approach to this journal, I would consider the opening of this thread to be chapter two. I did it that way because I realize that the Kernel of what I presented so far is too often the heart of everyones interest. If we are going to learn from this then like Chingchai, we need to go back to the begining......before the crane. The plan......I don't have Ching's access to the unbelievable graphics designer that he had so I will have to cheat a bit with words and pictures (which I have allot of). I did have a plan however and I think the issues I looked at will be helpful for some....even if it doesn't involve a fish room with 30 tanks.
Soon folks ...... reeeel soon.
Thanks for your patience everyone, I know from experience on this forum that immediate gratification is a disease. So far your behaviour as a group has been classy and something to be very proud of! I'll try my best to rise to the high standard you have all set.
It is tough to do keep up with things in life and than to document takes even more time. Thanks for sharing.
tagging along. looks like a neat project.
My addiction began as a kid visiting Martin's Aquarium!!
Current Tank Info: 100 starphire rimless in planning since January 2012. 100 Gallon Rubbermaid Basement Sump and 65 gallon refugium.
Subscribed....Cant wait to see more pics!!!
I have a strategy to deal with my wife which involves reusing the same large colourful box which will become known as my fish maintenance box...Same box in and out every time.
You're going to need that box to carry your electric bill in from the mailbox.
Good luck it looks like it's going to be a nice build.


This is a FREE event for kids sponsored by the Life's Journey Julie Martin Fishing Scholarship. There will be food, live music, games, prizes and of course LOTS of fishing! It all takes place in Chadwick, Missouri on the beautiful Swan Creek. Call Advisor Ink at (417) 881-2080 for more information Monday 11am-5pm and Tuesday through Friday 8am - 5pm.

Cylinder UFO Flying Low Reported Over California, 2017
A fast moving, cylinder object was noticed crossing the horizon in approximately eight seconds in Lincoln, California. An unnamed witness reported their sighting to MUFON, which filed it in Case 82671 in its witness reporting database.
According to the report, the witness observed the mysterious object flying from the northeast to the northwest at a very high speed while sitting at a northbound stop light at 2:45 in the afternoon on March 16, 2017.
The witness estimated the size to be the same as the bus flying between 1,000 and 1,200 feet up. They said that the object managed to cross 60 percent of the horizon in just around eight seconds. The witness revealed that his wife also saw the bizarre aerial thing. They thought of a drone but changed their mind when they did not see any propulsion.
The reporting witness claimed that they are familiar with aircraft as a resident on several Air Force bases.
Shelley Goodman, a MUFON-California field investigator, closed the case as Unknown. Goodman said that she had a chat with both witnesses, who told her that they both saw the unusual object from the intersection at 110 Lincoln Blvd in California. The reporting witness revealed to her that he was in the Air Force and that he knows all about aircraft, including its speed. The witness said that the UFO flew through the sky three times faster than any plane. The object was underneath the cloud cover when they saw it clearly.

SOUTHPORT'S last independent model shop is an "Aladdin's cave" of trains, planes, boats, cars, tanks and regiments of toy soldiers from the history of war.
Dave Jackson opened Southport Hobby Scene during the early 1980s, and is confident his Princes Street shop's unique blend of specialist stock and bespoke customer service will allow the business to keep trading.
The Formby man spoke glowingly of the £3.3m development of Southport Indoor Market, which has the potential to transform the re-branded Market Quarter area in to a shopping destination.
Airfix, Revell, Italer and Heller models pack the walls of the town centre shop, which is in many ways a fortress against the forces of modernity.
Many of the cardboard boxes contain scale models of the mechanised weapons used to fight World War II, from the fighter planes and dive bombers of the Pacific to the tanks, self-propelled guns and regiments that fought across France, Germany and the eastern front.
The boxes, many of them adorned with beautiful artwork, are interspersed with more modern models such as radio controlled helicopters and Scalextric sets and racing cars.
Dave is a slot racing veteran, and loves to expand upon the evolution of Scalextric over the years and the distinctive features of the different shiny racing cars that roar around the track.
Dave explained to Business News that slot racing's history can be traced back to the Princes Street headquarters of the Southport Model Engineering Society, which built a six- lane racing track back in the 1950s and hosted a grand prix.
And the prototype radio controlled aircraft suspended from the ceiling betray Dave's former involvement in Liverpool Scale Modelling Flying Club.
Southport Hobby Scene also sells Hornby and Bachmann train sets, and Dave envisage's dusting down his backroom later this year to create a slot- racing and train display for customers.
Visitors to the shop are met with a glass boxed display dedicated to Dave's late dad, Ted Jackson, who stormed Sword Beach on June 6, 1944, with the King's V Liverpool Regiment.
Medals and memorabilia from Ted's military career, such as his dog tag, are on display alongside a de-activated Lee Enfield rifle which was the British standard issue weapon during the war.
The Formby father and son once shared a passion for military and WWII themed plastic models. Ted loved to build Airfix fighter planes, and the Supermarine Spitfire which once roared over the beaches of Normandy was his favourite.
In the 1990s, Ted began building a beautiful tug boat, which he dedicated to his wife Teresa, who died in 1997.
The tug with her name on overlooks the display dedicated to Ted's life.
While the war hero used to love helping out in his son's shop and chatting to customers about planes and war, Teresa kept on eye on the till and the bookkeeping.
Ted died aged 91, in 2010, and RAF Woodvale sortied two planes to roar over the cemetery as his coffin was interned at Our Lady of Compassion.
The independent shop has raised nearly £2,000 for Help for Heroes since Ted's death, and his proud son remains dedicated to the charity.
Dave's grandson Shaun, 14, now helps out on Saturdays.
At lunchtime, Dave treats them both to a pie from the White Rose next door.
Dave said: "Trade is fine at the moment – very steady.
"The development of the indoor market is a boon for us, and I have supported the Market Quarter development project.
"We are the last independent model shop in Southport.
"There is a more specialist RTC shop in Formby, and the nearest proper model shops are in Liverpool and Preston.
"I think our stock caters for the customer looking for that specialist item, rather than big plastic toys.

CoEBS to Honor Outstanding Alumni at Homecoming
Oct 4, 2016 NEA Report Craighead County 0
JONESBORO — Four outstanding alumni of Arkansas State University will be honored as distinguished graduates by the College of Education and Behavioral Science during Homecoming weekend. The event is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 14, at 4-5:30 p.m., in the Delta Center for Economic Development, 319 University Loop Circle.
The award winners for 2016 are Chris T. Stone, Frontier League all-star athletic trainer, Health, Physical Education and Sport Sciences; Dr. Sharon Taylor, long-time principal at Valley View Intermediate School, Educational Leadership; Phil L. Taylor, executive director of Abilities Unlimited of Jonesboro, Psychology and Counseling; and Jackie Dedman Govan, state Head Start collaboration director, Teacher Education.
Chris T. Stone is a 2005 graduate of A-State and is currently employed as a physician assistant at Centegra Physician Care-McHenry County Orthopedics in Huntley, Ill. He earned his bachelor of science degree in athletic training. In 2008, Stone was selected Frontier League Athletic Trainer of the Year, and has twice received the honor of Frontier League All-Star athletic trainer in 2008 and 2010.
Dr. Sharon Taylor earned her master of science in education degree from Arkansas State and an educational specialist degree in administration in 1992. That same year she accepted a position as K-8th grade principal at Valley View Schools in Jonesboro. She was a member of the first cohort in the leadership program at Arkansas State and completed her doctor of education degree in 1998. This year she is enjoying her 25th year as a principal at Valley View Schools. She plans to begin her retirement at the end of the year.
Since 1994, Phil L. Taylor has served as the chief executive officer and executive director of Abilities Unlimited of Jonesboro. He earned his bachelor's degree in philosophy from A-State in 1970 and his master's in rehabilitation counseling in 1971. In 1990, he returned to Arkansas State to work on a specialist in education degree. He is a licensed professional counselor, a certified rehabilitation counselor and a certified vocational evaluation specialist. He was also appointed by the state's governors four times (1997-2015) to vice chair and chairman of the state board of Arkansas Department of Career Education.
Jackie Dedman Govan is an alumnus of the College of Education and Behavioral Science and the Department of Teacher Education. She earned her bachelor of science in education degree in elementary/special education and her master of science in education in administration/principalship from A-State. She is an active member of the Strong-Turner Chapter of the Alumni Association. Govan has worked in various aspects of the early childhood education system in Arkansas and the region. Currently, the director of the Head Start Collaboration Office, she has taken a leadership role in the Early Childhood Commission, which oversees implementation of child care, early education, public prekindergarten and related policies in the state.
"This is an exciting time of the year for our college and departments as outstanding alumni are selected from each department in the college—Health, Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Educational Leadership, Psychology and Counseling, and Teacher Education," said Dr. Beverly Boals Gilbert, Homecoming committee chair and professor of Early Childhood Education.
The process involves the nomination of individuals for consideration by faculty and administrators. Faculty within the department collectively determine the award winners for each year. Throughout the year, faculty members consider names of individuals for this honor and early in the fall semester, committees review nominations and individuals are selected.
Criteria in the selection process include significant contribution to the field, recognition with awards and honors in the academic area, commitment to the department and to its ideals, principles and philosophy and longevity within the profession.
"We are proud of our graduates and we are thrilled to honor these individuals for 2016. We hope everyone will join us for this event as we recognize these outstanding individuals and alumni of Arkansas State University's College of Education and Behavioral Science," Gilbert said.

La nauyaca de árbol bicolor (Bothriechis bicolor) es una especie de serpiente venenosa que pertenece a la subfamilia Crotalinae, cuya área de distribución incluye el sur México, Guatemala y Honduras. El nombre específico se refiere a los colores ventrales y dorsales contrastantes. No tiene subespecies reconocidas.

Descripción
Los ejemplares adultos suelen alcanzar una longitud de 60 a 70 cm, aunque incidentalmente puede alcanzar 100 cm. El cuerpo es relativamente delgado y con cola semiprensil . El patrón de color se compone de un color de base verde o verde azulado. Por lo general, esto es sin ningún tipo de dibujo, pero los ejemplares de México pueden a veces tener manchas y marcas negras o manchas azules. El dorso de la cabeza es de un verde uniforme, sin ninguna franja postocular. La piel intersticial y los bordes de algunas escamas son a menudo azul. El vientre tiene un color algo más claro, por lo general un color verde amarillento uniforme.

La parte de arriba de la cabeza es uniformemente verde y una franja postocular negra está ausente. El iris es verde con reticulaciones negras. La punta de la cola puede ser negra o gris especialmente en especímenes pequeños. Los juveniles tienden a ser más pálidos que los adultos y son generalmente verde amarillento, sin embargo, algunos individuos pueden ser color café.

Hay 8-11 escamas intersupraoculares, 8-12 supralabiales, 9-14 infralabiales, 21 hileras de escamas a la mitad del dorso, 157-175 ventrales en machos y 156-174 en hembras, y 58-75 subcaudales enteras en machos y 57-65 en hembras. Hay 27-33 escamas interrictales.

Distribución
Su área de distribución se extiende a lo largo de la vertiente del Pacífico desde el sureste de Chiapas en México, hasta el este y centro-sur de Guatemala. También ha sido registrado en unos pocos lugares en Honduras en la parte sur de la Sierra del Merendón y el Cerro Santa Bárbara. La localidad tipo es "Los bosques de San Agustín, departamento de Sololá (Guatemala), en el vertiente occidental de la cordillera. A un altitud de 610 metros". En realidad, San Agustín se encuentra en la ladera sur del Volcán Atitlán.

Ambiente
Su hábitat natural se compone de selvas tropicales y bosque nuboso entre 500 y 2000 m de altitud. También puede ser observado en plantaciones de café. Los hábitos de esta serpiente permanecen virtualmente desconocidos. Nuestras infrecuentes observaciones de serpientes activas han sido siempre en la noche, nunca en el día, cuando son encontradas enrolladas en vegetación riparia baja a los lados de manantiales. Uno de los nombres comunes en Guatemala "gushnayera", se deriva del hábito de enrollarse y descansar en la planta de gushnay (familia Araceae)

El veneno de Bothriechis bicolor contiene Hemotoxina. Aunque no se conocen fatalidades por mordeduras de esta especie, puede potencialmente ser fatal.

Estado de conservación
Esta especie posee un Índice de Vulnerabilidad Ambiental Alto (H) de acuerdo con el EVS (Índice de Vulnerabilidad Ambiental.

al presente se considera rara en bajas elevaciones debido a la destrucción de su hábitat. En la IUCN se encuentra catalogada como menor preocupación (LC), mientras que en la NOM-059-SEMARNAT está como amenazada.

As we all were expecting, Apple has sends out media invite for the event on 9 September in which Apple is expected to launch launch multiple products and major of them is iPhone 6.
Media invite has got just a Apple logo and date on top of it with just a message of "wish we could say more", however it doesnt need anything for to say as we know what Apple is going to launch in this event.
In this event Apple is expected to launch two variant of iPhone 6 which will come with bigger display screen, one will get 4.7 inch display screen and another one will get 5.5 inch screen and it will be called iPhone 6L. One of them will come with Sapphire glass display.
In past leaks we had seen all new redesigned language which Apple has introduced in this iPhone 6, it will have new volume rockers, relocated Power button is placed on right side instead of top, will come with reversible USB port, it will be thinner and lighter as compared with earlier version, will have 'true tone' flash for the rear camera, at bottom it will have single speaker grill instead of two will have curved display like which we had seen in iPad Air.
Some reports suggest that iPhone 6 availability could be affected as there are some last minute changes in display design. We are expecting much more from Apple than just two iPhone in this event, Apple could announce iWatch, throw some updates on iOS, OS X and if we were lucky enough than we could get some more from Apple.

BEST PRACTICES FOR THE SESSION 2018-2019
1. BOTANY DEPARTMENT
1. Energy and Space Saving Device:
The Department of Botany at Dhruba Chand Halder College has been active in the thought of conservation of energy in the campus for some time. The teaching faculty here, came up with a novel idea of deriving maximum benefits, using minimum expenditure. The Science laboratories in most departments usually use rectangular or square tables for various experiments. This requires individual lighting arrangements so that the students can see, identify and examine the intricacies and minute details of their experiments. The teaching faculty of the department of Botany in this college have designed octagonal tables in such a way that only one bulb placed on a table can serve the purpose of a batch of many students at the same time. The original tables of 20 feet each, have been reduced to 12 feet each, enabling 6 students use one table at a time. The microscopes are placed in such a manner that 6 students can work on their experiments, using a single table at the same time. This not only checks the amount of energy exhausted, but also helps in space saving.
2. GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT
PEOPLE'S BIO-DIVERSITY REGISTER – BELIADANGA MOUZA, JOYNAGAR BLOCK 1, SOUTH 24 PARGANAS
The main objective of this study is to prepare People's Biodiversity Register in consultation with the local people. The Register shall contain comprehensive information on availability and knowledge of local biological resources.
A Survey was conducted by the students of the Department of Geography, Dhruba Chand Halder College, Dakshin Barasat, South 24 Parganas, in Beliadanga Moza.
The primary aim of this survey is to find out the diversity in the different areas, in the lives of the people of a section of Joynagar, Block 1, South 24 Parganas, and to arrive at a conclusion thereafter. Since it is mainly a students' initiative, only the basic aspects have been taken into consideration.
Map: 1 Map of the study area
Name of the Area : Beliadanga Mouja
Joynagar, Block 1

Topography :
The area is a plain land, with fertile and alluvial soil, and water bodies, with an elevation of 8metres.
There are 2 canals in this area, inundated with common water - hyacinth, which are used by the villagers in irrigation.
The existence of a dead pond has been located here.
The adjoining areas are full of ponds which are owned by the Railways. These ponds have a lot of fish and the water is used regularly by the villagers for different purposes.
Marsh lands form a major part of land formation in this area.
Map: 2 Macro Topographical Image of the Study Area (Satellite Image)
Settlement :
The inherited property in most of the families consists of agricultural lands and pucca/kancha houses.
The average measurement of land per family, varies from ½ to 8 cuttahs, whereas the more affluent families possess abiyt 10 to 12 bighas of land.
The area has a number of houses owned by different families alongside ones which are rented accommodations.
Educational Facilities :

1 temple, about 50 years old, owned by the villagers, is seen in this area.
1 mosque owned personally by a family, is also found here.
There is a cemetery here.
The attraction of the villagers is a playfield of 4 cuttahs, owned by Sri Rabin Mondal.
There is a government owned tank here.
Drinking water is in abundance, made available by tube wells .
State owned powerhouse is responsible for providing electricity to this village.
Most of the people here, are either agricultural cultivators or labourers.
Many are also household industry workers.
Majority population has engaged in informal sector.
Women work participation rates are high in informal sector.
Map: 3 Bio-diversity Land use Map
Students have prepared this above land use map after surveying their Bio-Diversity field study. It has been found from the land use image that the eastern part of the study area is covered by pond and orchard area. Other parts of the area are covered by mixed socio cultural zonation. It has been found that most of the land covered by agriculture is where seasonal crops have been cultivated. Physio graphically this zone is very fertile. It has been observed from the study area that one natural canal, various natural ponds, mixed vegetation and indigenous trees are available. Residential area has been found in the middle of the area, mostly private property. Cultural socio economic indicators (Previously mentioned) have been found in the western part of the study area.
Conclusion based on the preliminary investigation :
This is a thin to medium populated area.
Once the entire land was an agricultural one, but parts of it were converted to ecological land.
The presence of a temple and a mosque suggests a peaceful co-existence of the Hindu and Muslim communities.
Natural resources are available but modern amenities are not up to the mark.
Based on field based knowledge students have prepared this bio-diversity land use map.

Whenever you're not being shot, mortgaging your house to pay a hospital bill, or visiting Florida, America can be a pretty great place. But a few of the less star-spangled countries also have some decent ideas about running a society, believe it or not. Ideas that our great nation should look into, carefully weigh the pros and cons of, and then steal. By force, if necessary, as is the American way.
Many Countries Make Voting A Duty
The U.S. has a representation problem. Barely half of the voting-eligible populace shows up to vote. That doesn't sound like a terribly healthy democracy. But before we all pop our monocles and blame those lazy poors for not participating, consider that most people don't vote because they're literally too busy.
U.S. State Elections Project"No Preference": the uncontested victor of every midterm election for a hundred years
According to a Pew survey, before 2016, "too busy or having a conflicting schedule" was the main cause for missed votes. And it's easy to see why. There are still 20 states in the U.S. that don't grant time off for people to vote. Ideally, free voting time should be available (and identical) for everyone around the country. You know, the way almost everybody else already does it. In Canada, a business that impedes a person from voting can receive a fine "up to $50,000, five years imprisonment, or both." Quite a strong incentive there!
Of course, getting those busy bees time off doesn't solve all of our problems. There's no guarantee they'd use that time to vote. So why not ... force them? Some argue that compulsory voting can improve voter knowledge and reduce partisanship. Maybe that's why 23 countries have laws requiring citizens to vote. It seems like an effective way to ensure that more people practice their damn freedom ... whether they want to or not.

In Asia, Celebrities Get Punished For Endorsing s****y Products
Most celebrities jump at the chance to sign a lucrative endorsement deal. Why not? If anyone offered us a cool mil to be the "face" of rectal thermometers, we'd hop on that in a heartbeat. But does that mean we have to forgive celebs for peddling bad, irresponsible, or downright unethical products just to make a quick buck? Some governments say "No."
Gavan/Getty ImagesIt shouldn't matter that you're married to Iron Man; slinging vagina rocks should get you tarred and feathered.
In India, arguably the celebrity endorsement capital of the world, the government tackled this issue in 2016. "We want to tell the celebrities to think wisely before endorsing a product," said the nation's consumer affairs minister, who clearly had never met a reality star in his life. Celebrities now have to independently investigate the products they endorse to see if they have actual merit. Otherwise, they face a very public court summons and a hefty fine. So the next time Hollywood claims that nine out of ten dentists agree on the best toothpaste, they better talk to that rogue dentist first.
Pan Bahar Ltd."I don't often endorse a product, but when I do, it gets me in a lot of trouble."
Of course, publicly shaming and fining someone for a fraction of what they make in an hour isn't a very effective punishment (looking at you, every CEO in the world). But if you want to up the ante, look no further than China. If a celeb there is found hawking shoddy wares, they can be banned from advertising anything else for up to three years (along with a host of other restrictions). And it's hard to convince Nike to give you that big international ad campaign if you're not allowed to show your face to 20 percent of the entire human population.

Lottery Winners Get Total Anonymity In China
For transparency's sake, every government lottery winner has to do a press conference revealing their name and face. And call us paranoid, but it's probably not a great idea for some (statistically likely) poor person to have to declare to God, their moocher friends, and every crackhead kidnapper in a thousand-mile radius that they're suddenly richer than butter. But some countries have a much more nuanced and practical approach to privacy that allows for greater agency on the part of its winners. And others have something even better: costume parties!
Currently, 46 out of 50 states require lottery winners to release their names to the public. There are constant reports of public lottery winners being hounded by strangers for money and being used by so-called friends as personal piggy banks. As a result of this constant harassment and eventual loss of friends, quite a few sudden millionaires become depressed. Meanwhile, in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, the law allows winners to choose whether they want to publicly announce their win or stay completely anonymous. In Australia, the government even encourages winners to stay anonymous. The overwhelming majority of lotto winners opt not to tell a damn soul rather than make it rain outside of city hall.
In China, you can choose to stay anonymous, but you do still have to go and publicly claim your winnings. How does that work? Well, it goes a little something like this:
Any solution that involves people dressing up like an off-brand cartoon character ...
... is OK by us.
Related: 5 Great Ideas That America Should Steal From Other Countries
In Europe, Cashiers Are Allowed To Be Comfortable
Most American store chains refuse to let their employees sit while on the clock. When one woman decided to buy stools for the exhausted-looking Safeway cashiers in her hometown, her generous gift was refused. Safeway claimed that "sitting on a chair could potentially expose employees to injury" because "part of their job requires them to lift heavy objects -- laundry detergent, frozen or fresh turkeys, cat or dog food." Which is fair. We've all lost loved ones who died trying to pick up a bag of kibble while their buttocks weren't flexed.
But this standing-for-safety idea is directly opposed to OSHA's findings on the subject. Thousands of employees are injured every year as a direct result of "standing for most of the shift." One extensive British study officially found that "a seat should be provided enabling operators to have a choice." Which is exactly why in Europe, cashiers are always allowed access to stools or chairs, no questions asked. Not only does this save employers money in healthcare-related costs, but it also probably makes their cashiers more pleasant to be around. When you're well-rested, you're much nicer, right? We will now check the comments to confirm that every single European agrees with that statement.

Canada Has Ditched Useless Pennies
As long as we continue to believe that $29.99 is cheaper than $30, pennies will keep weighing down our pockets, wallets, and that one weird jar by the door. But if you hate pennies, you're not alone. You've got all of Canada to keep you company.
Royal Canadian MintOf course, that's Canadian hate, which by American standards is just polite distaste.
This all started when Canada made the ill-fated decision to return to the "gold standard," backing every bit of currency with a sliver of gold hidden in the glorified snow castle that is their version of Fort Knox. During this time, the remaining non-gold coins were considered "semi-legal," and could only be utilized in small amounts. It didn't take long for Canada to realize it was impossible to back their entire economy with gold, so they dropped the gold standard once and for all.
But the same could not be said for strict coin laws. To this day, the Canuck Currency Act forbids people spending more than 25 coins (in any combination or worth) in a single transaction. That means if anyone tries to pay for a week's worth of groceries by dumping out a pile of filthy old coins, you can straight up call the cops on them. Truly, it is a wintry paradise land.
But Canada's utter disdain for coins goes even further. They haven't minted a single penny since 2012. That's because pennies aren't just useless; they're downright irresponsible. The metal used to create the damn things cost more than they're worth. Dropping the most disrespected monetary increment immediately saved the government $11 million a year. If the U.S. would adopt the same measures, we would likely save around $46 million each year, never mind all the weird old jars that would be free to store buttons, safety pins, and old keys.

Micro turbines like this are attractive, in general, for one of the simple reasons solar panels are so attractive — individuals can easily put them on their homes and businesses. Plus, with wind energy as a whole growing rapidly (it is actually the fastest-growing form of renewable energy), it is only inevitable that some people would like to bring traditional, large-scale turbines down to a more human or household scale.
While I believe that large-scale, centralized energy will always have its place, I am also one who believes that more decentralized, micro-scale electricity generation needs to and is becoming a bigger part of the electricity supply — 13% of utilities actually believe that centralized electricity will be obsolete by 2050.
The problem with micro turbines has historically been that they are not the most efficient electricity generators.
A traditional horizontal blade design turbine of similar size requires a greater level of wind speed to generate power. The vertical axis turbines provide omni-directional wind collection. The torque produced allows it to make power while turning at slower blade speeds.
It only takes a 6 mph wind to turn the blade. One benefit of this feature is obvious: It can work at locations with lower average wind speeds. Therefore, the geographic option for using wind energy is greatly expanded; a company may not need to be located on a hilltop or in coastal locations to reap the benefits. Plus, it reduces wind direction limitations, because it can collect wind power on a 360-degree basis. Horizontal blade technology must spend time and energy turning into the wind when the wind changes direction.
This new technology looks like a promising step forward in the micro wind turbine market, and in the wind energy market in general.

SumaiL
Syed Sumail "SumaiL" Hassan is a young Dota 2 player that has been part of Evil Geniuses since January 2015. His rough start and young age made many EG fans question whether their favorite team had made the right call or not. However, it soon became clear that the North American organization had acquired a genius.
Today, SumaiL is one of the best Dota 2 professional players in the world. He's a popular choice with both esports fans and players alike, due to his impressive playing style and background that dates back years – despite his young age (19). Read this guide to find out about SumaiL and how he got into playing video games as a professional. We'll also tell you about the teams he's played with past and present, so that you can get a good idea of his experience and caliber. You can also have a look at what SumaiL has managed to achieve in his career so far – which is a good indicator of how successful he will be within the Dota 2 professional scene in the future.
Player Background
SumaiL started his Dota 2 journey at the tender age of just 8 years old in his native Pakistan. After moving to the United States, he joined the North American Elite League. After only a short period of time, SumaiL became a respected powerhouse within the league. This success led to the Dota 2 player being recruited to join EG, the team with which he entered the Dota 2 League Season 5 finals in Las Vegas in January 2015. Unfortunately, neither SumaiL nor the team as a whole achieved great results in this event (EG finished 3rd out of 4 teams). Undeterred, they went on to compete in the Dota 2 Asia Championships, and managed to win the entire tournament – a mark of SumaiL's skills.
Present and past teams
SumaiL played in a whole host of Dota 2 events, competitions and tournaments with Evil Geniuses – and proved his skills, strengths and determination over the years. So far, the only team he's been in is EG, an adventure which has lasted for 3 and a half years and there's no sign of a desire for change on either side. Both SumaiL and EG are happy with what they have right now.
Achievements so far
SumaiL's biggest achievement to date has to be helping his team win The International 2015. After being invited to join EG just earlier that year, the North American squad toppled the competition with his help and took home the lion's share of the massive 18.4 million dollars prize pool: $6.6 million. Following this success, SumaiL became the youngest player ever to win over 1 million dollars at an esports event.
Apart from this exceptional result, SumaiL has many other tournament wins in his portfolio, including Dota 2 Asia Championships 2015, Dota Pit League Season 3, The Summit 4, Captains Draft 3.0, Mars Dota 2 League 2016 Autumn, China Top 2016, Dota Pit League Season 5, The Manila Masters, and GESC: Indonesia Dota2 Minor.
Other important tournaments at which SumaiL got top placements with Evil Geniuses are The Shanghai Major 2016 (3rd place), The Boston Major 2016 (3rd – 4th place), and The Kiev Major 2017 (3rd – 4th).
At this point, SumaiL looks set to have a very successful career in professional gaming. He was one of Time magazine's most influential teenagers for 2016 – an accolade that had never been awarded to a Dota 2 player before.
Role and specialization
SumaiL is known to be very good with a variety of heroes, but he's particularly well known for his Storm Spirit, Ember Spirit and Shadow Fiend skills. More recently, he changed his mid-lane role within EG and started playing as the team's offlaner. In this position, he often plays Beastmaster and Puck.
SumaiL is currently part of an Evil Geniuses roster that includes 4 other great players: MISERY, Cr1t-, Arteezy and Fear. At the moment, EG is trying to get a top 8 finish within the Dota Pro Circuit rankings table for the 2017-2018 competitive season, in order to get a direct invite to The International 2018. With only a few Major events left and EG sitting at number 9 having 1335 points, SumaiL and his teammates will have to get some top 4 placements in order to reach their goal.
Evil Geniuses have always been a top 8 Dota 2 team. And even though they do not win or get top results at every Dota Pro Circuit LAN event they attend, they're always a strong contender that can win against any opponent. Going forward, EG will certainly try to get back to its glory days. And to achieve this, it will probably rely on the exceptional abilities of its star player SumaiL.

Kafakumba is the name of a place in Congo where Ken and Lorraine Enright lived. When they were forced to move south into Zambia during the Congo conflicts of 1999, they found an old trucking company up for sale in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. God provided a way to purchase it, so they did and began to develop it into a training center. The Enrights had strong connections to Kafakumba in Congo, so they simply transferred the name to their new home in Zambia.
The name "Kafakumba" comes from Kafakumba Lake in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the Enrights first started ministry. Storks lived at the lake, but the local people killed many of them. The lake was named "Kafakumba", which means "the stork died" or "the dead stork." When the ministry was moved to Zambia, the name came, too. However, in Zambia, "Kafakumba" sounds similar to the local words for "the pig died" or "the dead pig." This caused problems as the people wondered what sort of new neighbors would name their place "The Dead Pig." But the past several years have proven that Kafakumba is actually a wonderful example of how God's love can transform lives.

Brandon Graham Says Buying a Couch 'no Time to Fumble'
By Enrico Campitelli	• Published March 15, 2018 • Updated on March 31, 2018 at 8:18 pm
Brandon Graham is a Super Bowl hero. He made one of the biggest plays in Philadelphia Eagles history. B-Graham reached legend status in this city.
He'll also sell you a couch.
Thankfully, the folks over at Mealey's Furniture shared the outtakes from Graham's commercials and lets just say Tom Brady wasn't the only one who fumbled.
I think it's safe to say he was... mealy-mouthed.
Thank you and goodnight!

Henrickson plays Frank Morgan, a notorious and feared gunfighter that has lived his life on the run. His face and eyes reveal a man that has been very much hardened by that life. We quickly learn, however, that there is still passion inside. Upon receiving a telegram from Linda, an old lover (played by Kay Lenz), requesting his presence, he abandons his woman, mounts his horse and rides to Linda without giving it a second thought. Upon arrival, he learns that Linda is now happily married to the owner of the local general store. The only vestige of her past that remains is a daughter, who Frank is surprised to learn is his. The daughter, of course, does not know about Frank. Linda, not wanting her to know that her father was a notorious gunfighter has given her a fictional father that died a hero's death at the First Battle of Bull Run. Frank quickly learns that Linda's reason for calling for him has nothing to do with romantic feelings. She wants him to protect her husband. It seems that there was an attempted bank robbery in town and the local sheriff and one of the robbers was killed. The other robber is in jail, waiting to be hanged, and Linda's husband has been appointed to the job of temporary sheriff. A cousin of the prisoner is set to be released from prison in a few days, and has made it clear that he will do whatever is necessary to get his kin out of jail. Linda's husband believes that the town will back him up when the showdown comes, but Linda knows better. She knows that he will be killed unless Frank agrees to help him. The story unfolds as Frank comes to terms with the fact that Linda and, for that matter, his newly discovered daughter are forever beyond his reach. He must decide whether to help the man that now has the woman he loves or to simply ride away.

The Galaxy A7 (2018) is the most promising Samsung mid-range smartphone of the year. It has decent looking specs and a triple-camera setup for PHP 17,990.
In this comparison, let's see if the new Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) can compete with Huawei's mid-range star, the Nova 3i.
It is one of the most balanced smartphone in terms of construction, specs, and cameras for the price.
The better value for money phone is?
2.5D glass with gradient color!
Build Quality/Design - The Huawei Nova 3i is a premium looking phone with a mid-range price tag. Even after almost 5 months since it was first introduced, there are very few mid-range phones with the same level of craftsmanship. It is made out of 2.5D curved glass at the back and in front with curvy metal frame in the middle.
On the other hand, Galaxy A7 (2018)'s materials are not as premium as the Nova 3i. But, it is no slouch as well. The 2.5D glass panels that sandwich a polycarbonate frame made it look better than most as well. The reinforced polycarbonate almost made us think that it was metal at first glance.
We also noticed that the Nova 3i is the smaller phone despite having the bigger 6.3-inch screen compared with A7's 6-inch display. It measures at 157.6 x 75.2 mm while the A7 measures at 159.8 x 76.8 mm.
The A7 is just slightly slimmer and lighter at 7.5 mm and 169 g versus the 7.6 mm and 169 g of the Nova 3i.
The Nova 3i also has a variant with the stunning gradient design found on the high-end P20 Pro.
It has a notch, but you can hide the notch in the display settings. The A7 doesn't have a notch, but it has thicker bezels than the Nova 3i.
The Nova 3i is the better looking phone for me.
Display Quality - The Nova 3i and Galaxy A7 (2018) are two phones with big screens. The Nova 3i has the bigger and taller 6.3-inch FHD+ display with a notch. It also has the higher screen-to-body ratio between the two.
The 6-inch Infinity Display of Samsung doesn't have the same stunning slim bezels of the Nova 3i, but it doesn't have a notch and it has an AMOLED panel. It is the device with slightly punchier colors and deeper blacks.
But, it is either you choose the bigger screen on a smaller body or the AMOLED screen of Samsung.
Specs - Under the hood, the Nova 3i sports a very capable chip for the price. The AI-ready Kirin 710 SoC with Mali-G51 MP4 GPU. The Mali-G51 MP4 GPU even has the GPU Turbo technology to improve the smoothness of games like PUBG Mobile, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and more.
Based on the benchmark scores, the 12nm Kirin 710 chip is more capable than the 2.2GHz 14nm 64-bit Exynos 7885 octa-core processor with Mali-G71 MP2 of Samsung. GPU performance of the Galaxy A7 is a bit more powerful the Nova 3i's GPU though.
Both chips are clocked at 2.2GHz.
Both also are also equipped with 4GB RAM for steady multitasking and speedy opening of apps. The Nova 3i has 128GB of storage which is double the 64GB found on the Galaxy A7 (2018).
Battery is about the same for both phones at 3,340mAh (Nova 3i) and 3,300mAh (Galaxy A7).
Cameras - At the back, the Nova 3i has two cameras. It goes with a 16MP f/2.2 + 2MP sensors. It also has PDAF focus, contrast focus, Master AI, and an LED flash.
On the other hand, the Galaxy A7 (2018) is the cheapest with rear triple-camera setup. It goes with a 24MP f/1.7 primary shooter paired with an 8MP f/2.4 120-degree wide-angle lens and 5MP f/2.2 depth sensor. It also has the Scene Optimizer mode from the Galaxy Note9 which works like the Master AI of Nova 3i.
Based on the specs, Samsung's camera configuration is more impressive. But, it doesn't have the software of Huawei which include the very impressive Super Night Mode for handheld long exposure shots with the help of AI.
For selfies, the Nova 3i could be slightly better here. It has 24MP f/2.0 shooter paired with a 2MP w/ AF, Master AI, HDR Pro, and screen flash. The A7 has the 24MP f/2.0 shooter, but it doesn't have a secondary sensor for depth information.
The Nova 3i and Galaxy A7 also goes with AR filters and effects. But, only the Nova 3i has the 3D Qmoji feature.
How, the Nova 3i has a 3D sensor for face unlock and 3D face recognition.
Both the Huawei Nova 3i vs Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) are solid mid-range phones!
I like that the Galaxy A7 (2018) arrived with an AMOLED screen and a versatile triple-camera setup.
But for me, the Nova 3i is still the better value for money device so far. The build is more premium and it has more features compared with the Galaxy A7 even if it has a more affordable price tag.

Im fairly new to the game but i'm putting alot of time into it to get better. I'll join your team!
I've been playing a few months, I'm not too horrible I think with the help I could find a better setup and progress. I am very active, I try to race as much as possible and I think with a team, I could get the help I need. I am an amateur, but hoping to move up as soon as possible, thanks.


If Los Angeles Kings fans don't know Brayden McNabb yet, they may get to do so next season.
The Kings announced they've re-signed the 23-year-old defenseman to a two-year contract. John Hoven at Mayor's Manor reports the deal is worth $1.3 million.
According to Hoven, McNabb's immediate future with the Kings may see him getting a shot to replace Willie Mitchell in their top-six and he'll be given every opportunity to win a spot playing alongside Slava Voynov in training camp. The Kings acquired him from the Buffalo Sabres at the trade deadline in March.
McNabb stands at 6-foot-4 and 204 pounds and plays a physical game. Sounds a bit like Voynov's former defensive partner who signed with the Florida Panthers on July 1. McNabb's competition for ice time will be against veterans Robyn Regehr and Jeff Schultz. If Regehr is healthy, he may have a tough time breaking through.


Will You Stand In Christ's Victory?
As we near the end of anything such as a semester for students or the year for all of us, we sometimes have a hard time finishing strong. How do we finish the semester or year with great enthusiasm?
One of the titles Jesus wears is Light of the World. Like Him, those who follow Him must dispel the darkness that destroys, bringing light and life to the world, one person at a time.
Tonight, we continue our anticipation of Thanksgiving with a sermon in song. Let's rekindle our gratitude to God for every spiritual and material blessing He continually gives.
As we enter this week of the Thanksgiving holiday, reflect with me on our need to be so grateful to God. May we continually express our thankfulness to God.
Where Will You Stand At the Cross?
Hearing the Word of God is not easy because when we hear it, we must make choices for our lives. When you hear the Word, what are the choices you make that will make a difference in your life?
The story of Israel's arrival at Mt. Sinai to meet God provides principles for our weekly preparation to meet our Father in worship.
In a remarkable text, Paul claims to have "become all things to all men." What did the phrase mean for him, and what does it mean for us?

The South is all about friendly welcomes and gracious hospitality. With that in mind, we've carefully selected historic hotels, boutique properties and small inns or bed and breakfasts in each of the stops.
Atlanta is the state capital of the Peach State and the cultural heart of the "New South." This is where Margaret Mitchell penned her famous novel Gone with the Wind and is a charming blend of old Southern traditions and modern lifestyles. Friendly communities featuring tree-shaded streets sit next to contemporary skyscrapers and urban high-rises. You'll find excellent museums showcasing the history of the area just steps from vast shopping malls and award winning restaurants.
Spend time learning about the Civil Rights Movement at the emotive Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, or check out the headquarters of CNN. Atlanta's Georgia Aquarium is the largest of its kind in the western hemisphere and is adjacent to another Atlanta must-do, The World of Coca Cola. Pop in and visit the vault where the secret recipe is closely guarded. Guided bike tours are also available through Atlanta's neighbourhoods.
History buffs will adore the Atlanta Cyclorama & Civil War Museum. Home to one of the world's largest paintings, "The Battle of Atlanta", as well as a large collection of Civil War artifacts. After Clark Gable visited Cyclorama in 1939, whilst filming 'Gone with the wind', he took a liking to the painting so much that the Mayor had the painter change a face of a Union soldier to resemble Gable's Rhett Butler.
On your journey to the Georgia coast, consider a stop in Plains, home of the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. This IS small town America and joy to stroll through. Historic Macon, the former home of legendary singer Otis Redding, is another worthwhile stop. He's memorialised in a life-size statue at beautiful Gateway Park and the Mini Museum offers an interesting peak into his life.
Hip and historic, Savannah is a charming, quirky city full of period architecture, trendy boutiques and local cuisine straight from the coast. Savannah also has a world-class reputation for hospitality and grace. Things are just a bit slower, just a bit friendlier. Take your time and soak it all in.
Tour through a pre-Civil War era mansion at the Mercer-Williams House, or visit the birthplace of the Girl Scouts of America at the Juliette Gordon Low House. Test your bravery on a haunted ghost tour through the nooks and crannies of the city or take a movie tour to learn about feature films produced here. One of the most famous has to be Forest Gump.
Leave Georgia behind for the South Carolina Sea Islands. The ancient slave language of Gullah is still spoken, African traditions are carried on and salty marshes perfume the air. Head to Hilton Head Island for brunch and stop to explore the 'Sea Islands Gateway' in the oh-so charming, historic town of Beaufort. Established in 1710, grand antebellum homes, survivors of the War of Independence and the Civil War, line cobbled streets and Spanish moss weeps from the ancient oak trees.
Just thirty minutes from Charleston lies serene Kiawah Island. This coastal barrier island is an oasis of untouched natural beauty and boasts ten miles of uncrowded beaches, as well as, five championship golf courses.
Charleston, South Carolina's oldest city, is rich with its vibrant culture, history, exquisitely-preserved architecture and celebrated dining scene.
Centuries-old mansions, cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, pastel antebellum houses, Spanish moss-draped trees, garden walks await you in one of America's friendliest cities. As you amble along gaslamp-lit streets with horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture, you just might think you've travelled back in time. But don't think Charleston is stuck in the past. It's proud of its innovative restaurants, interesting shops, contemporary art galleries and one of the America's major US performing arts festivals - Spoleto Festival USA.
There's no better city to experience the genteel South – after all, Charleston was the home of Rhett Butler.
You'll journey through the Francis Marion National Forest and hug the Atlantic Coast as you travel north through South Carolina. Stop at Georgetown, the third oldest city in the state. Be sure to amble along Front Street and the Harborwalk, where you can check out one-of-a-kind stores and and dine on Lowcountry cuisine in one of the many waterfront cafes. You may also wish to break your road trip in lively Myrtle Beach, this all-American beach town is known for its sixty mile string of beaches, endless golf courses, beachfront board walk and the Skywheel, one of the USA's tallest Ferris wheels.
Your home for the next two nights is Southport , 'America's Happiest Seaside Town". This picture-postcard coastal town has long been a port of haven for sea captains as far back as the 1700's. Stroll the docks and have a crab-cake sandwich and steamed shrimp at one of several restaurants featuring outdoor dining on the waterfront. Don't forget to jump on the ferry to nearby Bald Head Island. Once a notorious hideout for pirates like Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet, this car-free island can be explored by bike, golf cart or boat and is an eco-lover's paradise. And, home to one of the largest sea turtle nesting sites in North Carolina.
Leave sleepy Southport behind and travel along the coast and Onslow Bay to Emerald Isle on North Carolina's Crystal Coast. This region offers 12 miles of pristine shoreline and is a haven for all things beach, watersports, fishing, boating and miles of nature trails.
Discover Blackbeard's infamous ship, Queen Anne's Revenge at the North Carolina Maritime Museum, or view albino sea turtles at the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. No stay in North Carolina's Crystal Coast is complete without a visit to pretty Beaufort, once voted 'America's Coolest Small Town'.
Leave the North Carolina Coast behind and head into the heart of the state with an overnight stay in historic Chapel Hill. Hailed as "America's Foodiest Small Town" by Bon Appetit Magazine, Chapel Hill is rapidly becoming a hot spot for pop American cuisine. It's a trend-setting playground full of sights, sounds and tastes that make it the kind of place that authors, musicians, and artists call home. The music scene in the area is rocking too with local, regional and national bands playing just about every night of the week Check out Cat's Cradle, Local 506 and The Cave.
Known by the Cherokee Indians as the "land of the blue mist," Great Smoky Mountains National Park is divided equally between North Carolina and Tennessee. Boasting some of the oldest mountains in the world, this International Biosphere Reserve and UNESCO World heritage site, is home to 4,000 plant species, 140 tree species and an estimated 1,600 black bears. When you're not exploring 850 miles of hiking trails, hop in the car and cruise the 32-mile stretch of road that connects Cherokee, North Carolina to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, or visit Clingman's Dome, the highest point at 6,643 feet, for astonishing panoramic views over the park.
Travel through the Appalachian Mountains and stop in quaint North Carolina towns such as Bryson City and the historic mining town of Murphy. Be sure to check out beautiful Lake Hiwassee in the Nantahala National Forest, this was the home of the Cherokee Indians for thousands of years. However, in the late 1830s, the Cherokee, and other tribes, were forced by government treaty to give up their land and resettle in Oklahoma. This began the sombre Trail of Tears.
Your overnight stay is in Georgia's favourite mountain town - Blue Ridge. Nestled in 106 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest, enjoy time around beautiful Lake Blue Ridge, ride on the scenic rail road or take a gentle hike to local waterfalls. In the evening stroll along Main Street and enjoy Uptown dining in a small town setting, check out the art scene and listen to live music in the local breweries.
On your journey back to Atlanta, stop in mountain town of Rome. Tucked in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, this quaint Victorian river town boasts award-winning museums and a beautiful downtown historic district.
If you're a fan of Gone With The Wind, you may wish to spend time in Marietta at the the Gone with the Wind Museum. It houses an original collection of memorabilia relating to the book and movie. Alternatively, just 15 miles south of Atlanta, the Road to Tara Museum combines the real history of the Civil War's Atlanta Campaign and Battle of Jonesboro with Mitchell's Gone With the Wind.
Plan to spend your evening in the chic Buckhead area of Atlanta, awash with decadent restaurants and upscale shopping. Referred to as The Beverly Hills of the East, this is the perfect finale to your Georgia and Carolinas adventure.
You may decide to include a city stop over before you had back to the UK. Perhaps a few days in New York or maybe some time exploring Boston. Call the USA travel specialists at Bon Voyage to discuss your perfect Georgia and Carolinas - Southern Hospitality, Sunny Shores and Smoky Mountains adventure.
