The 6-month rule of settling in
After six months of living in a foreign country, you may feel a shift. Suddenly, everything looks and feels a bit different. You worry what it might be until it dawns on you it's just that you're feeling... home.
It takes a while to get used to a new place. No matter how hard you try with decorating, sightseeing, and bonding with the people around you, some time needs to pass before you can really feel settled in. Before the house you live in feels like your house. And the neighborhood becomes your neighborhood.
You know where to find stuff
After six months you definitely know where to buy all your groceries and find the school and the embassy without getting lost. In less developed places you will have learned crucial survival skills like computer game-style driving on lawless roads and getting used to the smell of burning heaps of garbage. In more developed countries like Germany it's stuff like: knowing where to recycle empty batteries and refill your Soda Stream canister.
You made friends
In non-COVID times, six months is plenty of time to meet colleagues in the embassy, get to know the people in your neighborhood, and meet at least a handful of folks on the local scene who share the same hobbies as you. Making friends takes time, but when you're a diplomat it shouldn't take more than half a year. When you only live somewhere for two or three years you don't mess around—you make connections quickly.
It's normal to go through multiple cycles of friend-making. First you meet a bunch of kind colleagues who help you settle in. You repay them by staying friendly for a while and most people you meet are through them. Then you start looking for people and activities that match your style and hopefully broaden your circle with some locals and non-embassy expats. Unless there's a pandemic and you only get one shot at making friends because the entire country goes on a sustained lockdown as happened to us during this tour.
You accomplished something at work
It feels like any time you move to a different post there's so much stuff that happens in between (travel, training, babies, moves) that your brain resets. So at the start of each job you feel kinda useless with your jetlag, language insecurities, limited geographical knowledge, spotty memory of the FAM, and rusty software skills.
Around the six-month mark, however, you're back on track and you've usually completed enough projects to feel like you contributed something to the mission. And you should, because now you're only six months away from becoming the "old hand" who has to teach the next batch of diplomats moving in during the summer!
You bought a completely new wardrobe
By now you've probably figured out I'm talking about my own life here, not necessarily everyone else's experience. And I'm a bit of a shopaholic when it comes to clothes, which tends to spin out of control when I arrive in a new place where the climate and the fashion is different.
What am I supposed to do, wear my tailored batik skirts from Africa around Germany? Sport my baggy tunics from Pakistan in Berlin? I think not. Besides, in Germany I have the opportunity to go shopping in nice stores, which can't be said for every country. So I shop. And I've already bought enough to last me this whole tour (and beyond, if I wanted).


Definition of "Interest Accrual Period"
The period over which the interest due the lender is calculated. The interest accrual period may or may not correspond to the payment period. On the annual accrual mortgages in the UK, payments are made monthly. On most monthly accrual mortgages in the U.S., payments are also made monthly, but in some cases payments are made biweekly. On biweekly accrual mortgages, payments are made biweekly. On daily accrual mortgages, payments are made monthly or biweekly.

On Sunday (May 21), the hip-hop world paid tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G. on what would have been the slain rapper's 45th birthday. One of Biggie's closest friends, Diddy, went on social media to honor his fallen protege with several heartfelt tributes.
"I'm extra emotional this year!!! You know that feeling when your on the verge of crying! WORDS CANT EXPLAIN!" he wrote.
On Instagram, Diddy posted an array of photos and videos of the Brooklyn, N.Y. native. One image featured Diddy and Biggie working together in the studio. Another photo shows a smiling B.I.G. donning two huge gold Jesus piece necklaces around his neck.
But probably one of the most fascinating posts on Diddy's IG, is the video of a young Biggie Smalls in a lyrical battle as he obliterates his opponent. Even at the age of 17, Biggie was deadly on the mic.
In the end, Biggie may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. We will always love you, Big Poppa.


A marine biologist was a biologist who studied in the field of marine biology, that is, the science related to oceanography, specifically involved in the study of marine organisms. A marine biologist who specifically studied whales and related species was known as a cetacean biologist.
Gillian Taylor was a marine biologist who worked with the humpback whales, George and Gracie, at Sausalito, California's Cetacean Institute in 1986.
During a pizza date with James T. Kirk, Kirk inquired to Taylor how "a nice girl like you got to be a cetacean biologist," she responded that she was "just lucky, I guess."
Later, when Kirk and the crew of the HMS Bounty attempted to capture George and Gracie to take back to the 23rd century, Taylor convinced Kirk to take her with him to the future because she was a whale biologist, and "who in the 23rd century knows anything about humpback whales?"

Stening er ikke imod menneskerettighederne
Filed under: Islam, Jura, Koran, Muslim World, Oplysning om islam, Shariah, Uran — Hodja @ 08:57
Irans chefanklager forsvarer dødsstraf ved stening som en del af shariah.
"Death by stoning and all the measures contained in the Sharia (Islamic law) are wise measures, No one can be against stoning by death because this form of punishment is contained in the Sharia," said Larijani, adding that he believed the practice did not run contrary to international human right accords signed by Iran."

Nu skal man jo lige huske, at når han taler om 'menneskerettighederne', så er det ikke vestens menneskerettigheder han mener. Det er islams – og det er en helt anden sag.
Lad os lige tage Muhammeds indførsel af stening som straf for ulovlig kærlighed:
Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 79:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar:
The Jews brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from among them who had committed illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet said to them, "How do you usually punish the one amongst you who has committed illegal sexual intercourse?" They replied, "We blacken their faces with coal and beat them,"
He said, "Don't you find the order of Ar-Rajm (i.e. stoning to death) in the Torah?" They replied, "We do not find anything in it."
'Abdullah bin Salam (after hearing this conversation) said to them. "You have told a lie! Bring here the Torah and recite it if you are truthful." (So the Jews brought the Torah). And the religious teacher who was teaching it to them, put his hand over the Verse of Ar-Rajm and started reading what was written above and below the place hidden with his hand, but he did not read the Verse of Ar-Rajm. 'Abdullah bin Salam removed his (i.e. the teacher's) hand from the Verse of Ar-Rajm and said, "What is this?" So when the Jews saw that Verse, they said, "This is the Verse of Ar-Rajm."
So the Prophet ordered the two adulterers to be stoned to death, and they were stoned to death near the place where biers used to be placed near the Mosque. I saw her companion (i.e. the adulterer) bowing over her so as to protect her from the stones.

The Trousers Just Went Nova
Memo to President Bush: ANOTHER FIRST FOR YOU!
You're special. So special they had to cut Air Force One in half and paint it yellow. So special that you get your own New Orleans Flood* edition of IDIOTS (WHO ARE ALSO PRESIDENTS) SAY THE DAMNDEST THINGS!
"The world saw this tidal wave of disaster descend upon the Gulf Coast. Now they're going to see a tidal wave of compassion."
Here's a bit of advice for Monkeyboy. The next time you feel the need to wax lyrical in an attempt to be comforting, DON'T. This disaster wasn't a tidal wave, literally or figuratively. And it's a really fucking bad idea to tell the victims of the flood that what they'll be getting is comparable to more water. Seawater, at that. If he'd said "a million-gallon Dasani tank of compassion", I might have given him a bit of credit, but he didn't, because he's an idiot.
"It's easy for me to say that I can see a better tomorrow because I haven't been living through what you are living. But I do."
If it's easy for you to say, and difficult for suffering people to believe, that is the first hint that you shouldn't be saying it. Of course YOU can see a better tomorrow. You're probably looking forward to your next vacation.
"We have a responsibility to our brothers and sisters all along the Gulf Coast, and we will not rest until we get this right and the job is done."
That would be comforting, if it weren't for the fact that while they were getting it wrong and the job wasn't being done, the entire administration was on vacation, RESTING. Playing guitar, buying shoes, closing the deal on an East Coast mansion, while New Orleans sank and Michael Brown tried to find out how many horse judges lived in Louisiana.
"One of the things people want us to do here is play the blame game."
Oh, we've been hearing that a lot. It's almost as if it were a point they wanted everyone talking about. Blame game. I love it when spin rhymes. Blame, aka "finding out who's responsible", and game, aka "something trivial, not to be taken seriously". It's a lot like the other thing we've been hearing, about how this isn't the time for finger-pointing.
The people who don't want the blame game being played are the people who know damn well they deserve to be blamed. The people who don't want fingers to be pointed are the ones who know they're about to get an eyeful of cuticle. Yes, let's please stop focusing on the government's inability to get the job done so that the government can get the job done. There are almost three hundred million Americans, you know. We're not all busy loading up leaky boats and heading to the Gulf like Sean Penn. A few of us have our hands free for finger pointing, both index and middle.
"What I intend to do is lead an investigation to find out what went right and what went wrong."
OK, explain this to me. When O.J. vowed he was going to find the real killer, nobody believed him. So how is it Bush gets to investigate the Flood Fuckup? Even Kato** is shaking his head in disbelief at that one.
What's he gonna do? Put on his deerstalker hat, grab his pipe, and carefully walk one lap around the Oval Office? "Elementary, my dear Cheney. It was I myself who screwed this pooch." George W. Bush, conducting an honest and thorough investigation of the disaster relief disaster? Don't hold your breath.
Unless you're still in New Orleans, in which case you pretty much have to.
*In politics, the battlefield is often won or lost on semantics. Referring to the New Orleans Flood by the name of the hurricane that instigated it, "Katrina", seems to me to be a poor semantic tactic. The water in New Orleans did not come from Katrina's clouds, it came from Lake Ponchartrain. The failure of aid was not due to high winds or rain, it all took place after Katrina burned itself out. So here, at least, it's not Katrina, it's the New Orleans Flood.
**I truly believe that the Kato Joke can be rehabilitated and brought back into society, but it will be a long, difficult process.

Just like the men's version, MERAK is made of high tenacity Nylon, to guarantee the best resistance to wear and tear. Mesh areas on the front, back and on the sleeves, allow the correct level of ventilation. Other features are hook and loop adjustable straps on both sides, adjustable button straps on the sleeves, zippers and buttons on the cuffs, three pockets of which the inner one is waterproof, high visibility inserts, dedicated pants connection, CE EN 1621-1:2012 level 1 protectors on elbows and shoulders, specific rear pocket for the optional HEVIK H-FULLBACK ARMOR.


Undoubtedly fast, the GT-R has some magic in the form of cleverly applied technology.
In the world of performance vehicles, the Nissan GT-R occupies a good number of "best" lists, punching way above its class when it comes to raw numbers and on-track and on-road tests. A combination of mechanical wizardry and application of cutting-edge technology can make cars like the GT-R blur the lines between accessibility and raw performance, creating opportunities for even the newest driver to harness its capabilities.
We gushed over the 2018 Nissan GT-R in our latest review, giving extremely high marks for performance and value for money, even calling it the best performance per peso vehicle on the market today. In this article, we'll be going in-depth on the technology and safety that the GT-R brings to their lucky owners.
The underpinnings of the Nissan GT-R represent the very best in all-wheel drive (AWD) technology combined with a hard hitting 3.8L twin turbo V6. The high performance AWD configuration can make full use of the high horsepower and torque in the GT-R, ensuring optimum traction and feel in any driving condition. The ability to utilize different modes for the drivetrain, suspension, and traction control allow for three levels of adjustment, all with corresponding modifications to how these systems behave according to Comfort, Normal, and R Mode. Comfort allows the most progressive and refined response from all systems, making the GT-R feel like a car you could use on a daily basis. Normal is a good compromise of some refinement for a bit more performance, perfect for sportier driving. R Mode extracts the most out of the GT-R, combined with the minimum level of electronic aids that will help keep you in check.
The infotainment system is where the GT-R suffers the most, mostly because the system is dated and feels slightly out of place in a vehicle with so much mechanical and technological know-how. Bluetooth and USB ports are the standard fare, and there's an option for navigation from the dealership. No Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and nifty phone mirroring here, just a basic setup with decent graphics.
Nissan's custom view feature in every GT-R takes the cake as one of the most comprehensive and interesting systems that we've seen in a consumer vehicle in some time. There are a myriad of options and selections that you can make, keeping track on vehicle status, functions, and numbers, making the GT-R a statistician's best friend.
Additional interior features such as the heated seats, nifty single knob electric seat adjustment, rear camera with parking sensors all around, cruise control, adaptive noise cancellation, and Bose sound system top off a great package.
On the safety front, the 2018 Nissan GT-R offers a complete set of six airbags, combined with ABS with electronic brake force distribution (EBD), drive mode adaptive traction control, and the passive safety that the AWD drivetrain can bring. Things like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and blind spot monitors are nonexistent.
Much of the safety is dependent on how this car is driven, making full use of the strong brakes and grip to avoid any unfortunate incidents. It also helps that the windows are fairly huge and, when seated in the proper driving position, allow for minimal blind spots that can affect your driving experience. Just like any car, driven smartly and responsibly, you can prevent any accidents from happening in the first place by being proactive and observant, all without the safety technology coming into play in a car like this. Respect the 565 horsepower and 637 Nm of torque, and it will respect you.
Hi, I would like to receive a financing quote for the Nissan GT-R 3.8 V6 AT, thank you.


Have you noticed more and more metal roofs popping up in your Wisconsin or Minnesota neighborhood? There is a good reason for this shift in roofing design. Metal roofs are designed to last while maintaining their like-new appearance for years. Let's find out why a metal roof from C&T Siding is the right roof for your family.
Metal roofing is constructed out of steel and is treated so it will not corrode, rust, chip, or fade over time. It comes with a lifetime warranty, and many insurance companies will lower your rates due to its resilience and longevity. You will replace your asphalt shingles every 15-20 years. Metal? Maybe never.
Installing a new kind of roof has to be complicated, right? Not at all. Your current shingles or slates are removed by C&T Siding and your sheathing repaired. Insulation is put down, and then your new roof is installed. Most jobs can be done in just a few days.
While it might look like a metal roof is more expensive than a traditional roof, remember that you may not have to pay for maintenance, repairs, or a full-fledged replacement as long as you own your home. When you look at the final quote, a metal roof is often comparable to a tiled or slate roof but will last much longer.
Our Arrowline Metal Roofing products are even rated against hail damage. These roofs are designed to withstand high winds, damaging storms, and will shed snow at the first opportunity. There is no need to ever use your snow rake again.
If you think a metal roof means it will be corrugated, think again. C&T Siding offers new metal roofs that look just like traditional shingles, shakes, or slate tiles. You can order it in the color of your choice. Your home will never have a cracked and peeling roof again. Instead, it will remain a handsome addition to your neighborhood.
Let the experts at C&T Siding provide you with a no-obligation estimate today.

Which Siding Material is the Best?
One of the best things about siding products is the number of options out there. Depending on your budget and desired look, we can recommend, outside your preference with one type over another, as each material has a different set of benefits.

For example, vinyl siding is one of the most cost economy options out there and is available in just about any color imaginable. It's also very easy to clean, and requires little else apart from water and soap to stay looking great, but has to be installed over a solid substrate or it will not last.
Metal siding is an option but can be damaged easily with no way to repair and the difficulty finding the right size and color is almost impossible especially as age fades it.
With new siding, your home or building will stand out from the pack. If you've been looking to make some changes around your property, give us a call today.

Your former coach introduced you to each other. Was there a spark right away?
Chris: Definitely. In any tryout, there are always things you have to work through in terms of matching your techniques so you can mold them together. The week we tried out, it just looked and felt like we were going to be a good match.
You took your relationship off the ice soon after that.
Alexa: I felt more excitement and a different energy skating with Chris than I did with previous partners. We were aware that something was stirring up inside, an attraction. There's that honeymoon stage when skaters first pair up, but for us, it lingered. We wanted to spend all our time together. It felt very natural.
Your current coaches, Todd Sand, and Jenni Meno, were also married skating partners.
Alexa: That's right. It's one reason we were drawn to them. They understand the dynamic of skating with your spouse.
Have they given you good advice on merging your professional and romantic partnerships?
Chris: They've both been through it. Alexa can vent to Jenni and I can turn to Todd. They give us unique insight into what they're seeing and what's worked for them, making arguments and other problems disappear more quickly.
How does your work relationship compare to your personal one?
Alexa: I had to learn to treat Chris like my partner on the ice, not my husband, and to give him space and not micromanage. Sometimes I want to nurture him, but he's independent and knows what he needs at that moment.
The upside is that when you have to travel, you don't leave your loved one behind like other athletes do.
Alexa: That's a big pro for us. People think it's crazy to be with someone literally twenty-four-seven, but that's all we know. It's weird for us to be apart, and honestly, we rarely are.
What about when you train off the ice—are you together then, too?
Chris: Sometimes. In the off-season, we do lifts on the ground in our sneakers to figure out the timing and balance before we take them to the ice. We also do circuit training sessions with other skaters, where we do five or six exercises that engage several muscle groups. Alexa: It'll be burpees, ladder drills, planks, Romanian deadlifts, sprints, kettlebell swings, and more. We go through it a few times and try to hit our max at each station.
But lifting and landing require distinct skillsets.
Alexa: Yes. During competition season, we stick to our own workouts. Chris works to keep his trunk, core, and back strong while I focus on my balance and reaction time. For female skaters, it's important to balance the strength in each glute because your landing leg is typically stronger, so you have to do things to activate the weaker side.
You guys are strong, but also petite.
Alexa: Yeah, we don't use a ton of heavy weights. Chris: I try not to bulk up. I don't want to put weight on my upper body as it will affect how I rotate.
How does your training change ahead of big competitions?
Chris: Earlier in the season we skate a lot more. At this point, we're maintaining. We skate two or three sessions a day and do some off-ice gym work and a lot of recovery with the Normatec, foam rollers, and lacrosse balls. Alexa: Yeah, we also cut back on off-ice lifts because we've fine-tuned them. We'll do an hour of jogging, stretching, and core work like seated twists, planks, and V-sits before our skate sessions.
How do you fuel for performance?
Chris: Alexa and I are very different nutritionally. We do a lot of cooking at home, often chicken, steak, fish, and vegetables. I don't focus on the high-protein, low-carb diet. I like to have a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, sometimes oatmeal with yogurt and orange juice. It's always carb-based. Alexa: I'm pretty strict and consistent. I don't eat many carbs apart from oatmeal at breakfast. I fill up on greens and lean protein and between sessions, I'll have an Rx bar. Sometimes when we cook together, Chris will add pasta or rice and I'll pass on those.
That all sounds very balanced.
Chris: Once in a while on weekends, I'll get a burger. Alexa: I won't waste calories on pasta or sandwiches, but I have a sweet tooth so I won't deprive myself of a cookie or chocolate if I want it.

Q: How to pass the location of a php include in the url? i have a large number of files with several id's in each file.  For example file1.php contains a number of paragraphs, each paragraph has a unique id. (id="1",id="2",id="3" etc...)  I would like the ability to create a link to a page (page A.php) and pass the location of one of these id's in the url of the link to display in a php include on page A.php  The result that i'm looking for is to have the entire file (file1.php) show up inside of page A.php with the specific id that is passed in the url being highlighted.  Is this possible? or do I need to use Java Script and an iframe?
Here is what I ended up with:
The url: http://mydomain/thispage.php?xul=http://mydomain.com/folder1/folder2/file.php&id=Abc150:176

The code:
Stylesheet .vrsehilite{styling}

<?php

$invdmn = "
Error: Invalid Domain
";
$filnf = "
Error: File Not Found
";
$pthinv = "
Error: The Path is invalid
";
$idinv = "
Error: The ID is invalid
";
$oops = "

Oops! Something went wrong.

Please click the back button or use the menu to go to a new page.
";
$testdomain = substr_compare ($_GET['xul'],"http://mydomain.com",0,20,FALSE); //make sure the domain name is correct

if ($testdomain == 0) {
  $flurl = $_GET['xul'];
} else {
  echo $invdmn . " " . $oops;
}

$flurl_headers = @get_headers ($flurl);

if ($flurl_headers[0] == 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found') {
  echo $filnf . " " . $oops;  //Make sure the file exist
} else {
  $surl = str_replace (".com/",".com/s/",$flurl);
} //add some characters to url at point to explode

list($url1, $path) = explode ("/s/",$surl); //explode into array of 2 [0]url to domain [1] path
$testpath = substr_compare ($path,"file1/file2/",0,10,FALSE); //make sure the path is correct

if ($testpath == "0") {
  $aid = preg_match ("/^[A-Z][a-z]{2}(?:[1-9][0-9]?|1[0-4][0-9]|150):(?:[1-9][0-9]?|1[0-6][0-9]|17[0-6])$/", $_GET['id']);
} else {    //make sure the id is valid
   echo $pthinv . " " . $oops;
}

if ($aid == 1) {
  include($path);
  echo "";
} else {
  echo $idinv . " " . $oops;
}

?>

A: Never ever include arbitrary files submitted by the user. Instead, you should only include files from a pre-defined set of your choice. Perhaps something like this:
PHP
$files = array ('file1.php', 'file2.php', 'view.php', 'edit.php');
$id = (int)$_GET['id'];

if (isset ($files[$id])) {
  include $files[$id];
} else {
   /* Error */
}

Or you could use a regular expression to accept only certain filenames, in this case 1 or more lower case letters followed by 0 or more digits.
$m = array ();

if (   preg_match ('#^http://domain.example/folder1/folder2/([a-z]+[0-9]*\\.php)$#', $m)
    && file_exists ($m[1])) {
  include $m[1];
} else {
  /* Page not found */
}

You may want to check the return value of include. You may also want to move the folders into the subpattern (...) or use regular expressions for the folder names.

If all you need is to highlight a certain paragraph in a page, you should add a URL fragment that poins to the paragraph's id, and add CSS to style it. Eg:
URL
http://domain.example?id=1#p1
HTML

This is the target paragraph.

CSS
p:target { /* Style the targeted
 element */ }

The Valley View Ranch is a quality production ranch with considerable value-added proposition for a new owner. Good water resources and high ratio of irrigated to non-irrigated ground create an excellent potential for creating an entry-level balanced operation for a family or investor putting together their first ranch or longtime operators looking to diversify their operation. Excellent proximity to Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park combine to offer accessible recreational pursuits, while the open nature of the country lends itself wonderfully to equestrian pursuits.
Keith joined Hall and Hall in 2008 after spending 13 years developing land conservation agreements with rural landowners across the west. His work experience includes positions such as VP of Lands for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and Director of Land Conservation for The Nature Conservancy in Wyoming. The close relationships required to conduct large, complex conservation transactions gives Keith an intimate understanding of the deeply personal values that each person brings to their ownership plans. Keith was introduced to the outdoors at age 11 with a week-long backpacking trip in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Since then, hunting, fly-fishing, trail running, telemark skiing, and a host of other front and backcountry pursuits occupy his off-work time. Keith's undergraduate degree is from Rutgers University and he holds a Master of Science degree from the University of Washington, College of Forest Resources in Seattle, Washington.

Valley View Ranch
$2,500,000 Polson, MT 2,338± Deeded Acres
Recreational Amenities
The Valley View Ranch consists of 2,338± acres located in Lake County, Montana, in the northern Mission Valley just south of Flathead Lake. With an estimated 500-acres of irrigated land, the property is estimated to support around 300 animal units on a seasonal basis. At the heart of the ranch are the Valley View Hills. With its 3,766-foot highpoint located within the ranch's boundaries, the property is visible from many miles away and offers panoramic views of the Mission Mountains and Flathead Lake beyond. The upper slopes of these hills holds a unique Palouse grassland that is protected by a conservation easement, but allows agricultural use. The property also features two homes. A nice three-bedroom, two-bath home was built around 2001, while the ranch's older home provides an excellent choice for overflow housing. A variety of outbuildings, shipping corrals and other general ranch amenities are concentrated in and around the two homes. Irrigation water is provided by the Flathead Irrigation District.
Located in Valley View Hills west of Pablo
2,338± acres of which approximately 500 are irrigated
Contains the summit of the Valley View range with panoramicviews of Mission Mountains and Flathead Lake
Operates approximately 300 pair on a seasonal basis
Newer home built in 2000 with three bedrooms and two bathrooms
Older home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms
Multiple outbuildings, corrals and other general ranch improvements
Conservation easement in place on majority of ranch with latitude for additional homes/agricultural improvements
The ranch is reached directly from the south end of Apple Road in the north central portion of the Mission Valley. At the southern terminus of Apple Road, one enters the ranch with the old ranch headquarters located directly ahead and a variety of outbuildings and corrals spread to the east and west. Tall shade trees loom over the original home and provide dense shade in summer and an established, verdant feel to the location. Across the corrals and beyond several outbuildings is the ranch's second home, built in 2000.The majority of the ranch stretches above and to the south of the building compound entirely encompassing the Valley View Hills that rise approximately 800 feet from the valley floor and provide one of the more distinctive topographical features in the otherwise broad, flat Mission Valley. Native range and a globally unique Palouse grassland populate the upper levels of the ranch and are protected through a conservation easement that allows largely unrestricted agricultural use, but limits any subdivision or direct destruction of the grassland. Perimeter roads provide access to all but the most remote corners of the property, weather permitting. Irrigation is all flood-based and covers around 500 acres. Significant opportunity exists for a new owner to improve production through more intensive management practices, including adding wheel lines and possibly a pivot or two, particularly on the north end of the ranch. Additional improvements can be made by developing ground-water resources for stock use and increasing the effective utilization of the grass resource.

Conservation EasementApproximately 1,851 acres of the ranch's total of 2,338± acres is under a conservation easement with the Montana Land Reliance, leaving approximately 487 acres outside of the easement. The primary purpose of this easement is to insure the continued existence of the high-quality Palouse grassland that exists on the ranch. Permitted uses under this conservation easement include the following:Agricultural usesThe construction of three additional homesThe replacement and maintenance of any existing homes or structuresGeneral recreational usesOperation of a bed-and-breakfast or similar guest facilitiesCopies of the full document that lists all permitted and prohibited uses are available upon request.
The Valley View Ranch contains two homes and a variety of outbuildings and structures of general ranch utility, including corrals, sorting pens, grain bins, a cold-frame greenhouse and miscellaneous equipment storage sheds. Both homes were built with the needs of working families in mind. The older home is in need of some basic repairs, while the newer home is in good condition and ready for immediate move-in. Improvements include the following:Four-bed/two-bath home built in 1947Three-bed/two-bath home built in 1997One-bed/one-bath guest cabin, construction time unknownTwo 2,500-bushel grain binsBarnCorralsMiscellaneous equipment and supply storage
The ranch is irrigated with shares from the Flathead Irrigation District via the Pablo Reservoir. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes took over management of the irrigation district a few years ago as a part of the Water Compact negotiation. Delivery of water has been uninterrupted during the history of the current ownership.
Taxes are approximately $32,332 based upon previous years. This figure includes all charges for water from the Flathead Irrigation District.
Learn about the recreational amenities
Recreational Considerations
The Valley View Ranch is an excellent location for a wide variety of recreational pursuits including horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking. With over 2,300 contiguous acres, there is plenty of room to roam for the person interested in covering some ground. Nearby outdoor resources provide endless fishing and hunting opportunities, while the closest wilderness area, the Mission Mountain Tribal Wilderness, is administered by the Salish Kootenai Confederated Tribes and is open to all users with a tribal-issued permit. Glacier National Park is located approximately 90 minutes to the northeast. In addition to the park, its bordering flanks hold hundreds of thousands of acres of national forest, federally administered wilderness and other public lands. The Flathead River also flows within a few miles of the ranch, providing whitewater enthusiasts and fisherman endless challenges. Whether your interest is backcountry equestrian use, four wheeling, hunting or fishing, the vast public expanses of western Montana can provide a lifetime of adventure.
Learn about the general operations
Over the past three-plus decades of ownership, the ranch has been managed for cattle production. During the bulk of that time the owners pursued Holistic Resource Management on the property, developing up to 40 individual pastures and practicing an intensive rest-rotation regime that reduced management costs and more closely mimicked the historic passage of large herds of free-ranging herbivores. More recently many of those pastures have been combined. The property is fully perimeter fenced. Current grazing practices are administered under a lease agreement and host around 250 cow/calf pairs on a seasonal basis, usually from the middle of May until the middle of November. Shipping of calves has historically occurred in mid-October. Semi-trailer cattle hauling rigs can easily pull directly into the loading chutes.

Listed below are some of the Frequently Asked Questions that we are asked followed by their respective answers. The questions are in no particular order and we encourage you to scroll down to be sure to see all of the answers.
What do funeral directors do? Funeral directors are caregivers and administrators. They make the arrangements for transportation of the body, complete all necessary paperwork, and implement the choices made by the family regarding the funeral and final disposition of the body. Funeral directors are listeners, advisors, and supporters. They have experience assisting the bereaved in coping with death. Funeral directors are trained to answer questions about grief, recognize when a person is having difficulty coping, and recommend sources of professional help. Funeral directors also link survivors with support groups at the funeral home or in the community.
What should I do if the death occurs in the middle of the night or on the weekend? We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Feel free to call us any time at: (717) 394-4097 and we will be happy to assist you.
Will someone come right away? If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good bye, this is perfectly acceptable. We will come when the time is right for you.
If a loved one dies out of state, can the DeBord-Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory still help? Yes, we can assist you with out-of-state arrangements, either to transfer the remains to another state or from another state. Please be sure to call us first at (717) 394-4097 to discuss your options.
What purpose does a funeral serve? Traditionally, funerals are the customary way to identify death and its finality. Funerals are recognized rituals for the living to show respect for the dead and to help survivors begin the grief process.
Are there religious considerations I need to be aware of when planning a funeral? Some religions have specific preferences or requirements. If you don't know, ask your clergy member or one of our funeral directors.
Why have a viewing? Viewing is part of many cultural and ethnic traditions. Many grief specialists believe that viewing aids the grief process by helping the bereaved recognize the reality of death. Viewing is encouraged for children, as long as the process is explained and the activity is voluntary. Private viewings, which are closed to only selective friends and family members, are available as an alternative option to a public viewing and can be just as effective in the healing process.
What is the purpose of embalming? Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body, retards the decomposition process, and enhances the appearance of a body disfigured by traumatic death or illness. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, thus allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
Do you offer cremations? Yes, in fact the DeBord-Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory has more experience when it comes to cremation than any other funeral home in Lancaster County, as we have owned and operated our own on-site crematory since 1992.
I have decided on cremation; can I still have a funeral or viewing? Yes, quite often some sort of viewing precedes the actual cremation. Cremation is simply an alternative to earth burial or entombment for the body's final disposition. We will be happy to explain to you all of your options if cremation is your chosen form of disposition.
What government agencies are available to help with funeral expenses? The funeral director at DeBord Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory will help gather the necessary information to apply for financial assistance from Social Security, Veteran's, and any other applicable association.

The cadets of MFA used to be awarded with the B.Sc.(Pass) certificates in Nautical Science, Marine Engineering and Marine Fisheries from National University, Gazipur, Bangladesh. These training also satisfy the requirement of STCW IMO Convention to serve as an officer onboard fishing, merchant vessels and also in shore as processing technologists.
Recently Marine Fisheries Academy is affiliated with the Bangabundhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Maritime University, Bangladesh for 4 years B.Sc. (Hons.) program in Nautical Science, Marine Engineering and Marine Fisheries courses.
Cadets officially complete their training through a national colourful ceremony namely "Passing out Parade" which is normally held with the presence of the Honourable Minister of Ministry of Fisheries & Livestock. This is the most vibrant event in the academy campus and for which the cadets keep on waiting in which they carry out march-past and show the appropriate marks of respect to the Chief Guest. Cadets also take oath to serve at sea and awarded with certificates of Pre-sea training and graduation. Simultaneously, Continuous Discharge Certificate (CDC) is also issued to the cadets of Nautical and Marine Engineering departments by the Department of Shipping which allows them to look south to venture out all the seas around the globe.
Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh established Marine Fisheries Academy on a beautiful landscape on the southern bank of the river Karnaphuly, opposite to Sadarghat, Chattogram.
After the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971; National Leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman observed lack of skilled manpower for judicious exploitation and harvesting of marine fisheries resources. Then he called for a national institution to train and educate personnel for Bangladesh maritime fisheries industries which began in 1972. That time it was also the beginning of a rapid technological change in the deep sea fishing with the introduction of large and sophisticated deep sea fishing vessels. The Government realized that without skilled manpower i.e. qualified officers, the growth of an efficient fishing fleet would be impossible.
Marine Fisheries Academy was established in 1973 to produce skilled manpower for fishing fleet with the collaboration of the then Soviet Government. Academy started journey as a project of Bangladesh Fisheries Development Corporation (BFDC) on 01 September 1973. Cadets of this academy use to get scholarships from Soviet Government for MS and PhD. More than 70 cadets from this academy completed MS and PhD and working in different sectors in home and abroad. After the death of national leader, scholarships were halted and forcefully Soviet instructors were removed from the academy.
Academy came under the administrative control of Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock as a project on 20 April 1988, shifted to revenue budget under the same ministry on 01 July 1993 and continuing till to date. The functional authority of the academy is vested on to the Principal who has three assisting organs namely Academic Council, Board of Studies and Board of Discipline . Now, The academy provides quality maritime education in a well planned and organised manner to develop skilled human resources for fishing and maritime sector.
In 1998, 02 years B.Sc. pass graduation courses were introduced under National University. In 2013 the courses were upgraded to 03 years B.Sc. program and in 2018 all the courses upgraded into 04 years Honours program.
Beside male seafarers, females are also coming forward to contribute in the maritime sector. Female cadet first joined in this academy in 2010 and now contributing in Blue Economy of the country.
Most of the passed out cadets of this academy are serving in the fishing fleet operating in the Bay of Bengal and in shore based fish processing plants. Many are also now working in different maritime organisations around the globe therefore contributing directly to the national economy. So far, 1800 cadets (up to 36st batch) have been graduated successfully from MFA. Among those about 1200 cadets is now serving in international maritime sector thus Bangladesh earning about US$57.60 million (assuming US$ 48,000/cadet/year) as foreign remittance annually. This clearly justifies that MFA is very prospective institution for Bangladesh for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

I won't be submitting this one for Tim's blog as I already submitted, HERE. However, I did still want to make this months "TAG". I followed the tutorial on Tim's blog and how lovely it turned out!
I LOVE this stamp set! The chalk art technique is awesome. I don't have the trim and arrow used so I made do with what I have! The stacked stars edge die and foil tape is a lovely compromise. I used the game spinners and a wee sprocket as an arrow. I attached some red tinsel to soften the harsh line of the edge die. Love the new Heart Stencil. OK I love all the stencils. Click HERE to see how I store my stencils. So excited to own this new stamp set. I have used it a lot already!
I need all the votes I can get so VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! Then share with all your friends to vote for me too, #9! Thanks for voting and for your comments!
Wonderful take! I love the star border...so cool!


She has won a medal in every single Olympic event she's ever entered, and has earned a total of 11 Olympic medals in two Olympics, the second highest in American #Swimming History.
Natalie's affinity for health and nutrition go hand-in-hand with her natural lifestyle and green mentality; she has deep passion for the environment and embraces the use of renewable resources and local organic produce.
Natalie is not only admired for her athletic talents, but also for her class, vivacious smile and engaging personality, which MSNBC capitalized on when they recruited her as an on-air commentator during the 2006 Torino Winter Games. Her elegance and style have earned her accolades on the red carpet of the ESPY Awards and Golden Goggles, and she also participated in Season 9 of ABC's hit show Dancing With the Stars.
Natalie: I've been fortunate to have good balance of obstacles as well as success. It's important to experience the setbacks in order to appreciate the successes.
Natalie: Failure is definitely in the eye of the beholder. In my opinion, failure is not being honest with one's self. If I set a goal and don't achieve it, it's only a failure if I didn't give an honest effort in my preparation.
Diet Detective: Tell us something that "moved" you.
Natalie: I participated in an event called Dave Denniston's Relay Across America that benefited people with neck injuries. I met so many inspirational kids that were either paraplegic or quadriplegic who don't let anything stop them. They play all sorts of sports with the best attitude. Thinking about them really puts things into perspective. If these kids (with so many challenges) can have such an amazing attitude, there is really no reason for me to complain about anything.
Natalie: Deciding to come to the University of California at Berkeley. Training with Teri McKeever and that team changed my life.
Diet Detective: What keeps you going ?
Natalie: I realize how lucky that I am to be healthy and to get to workout as my job!
Natalie: I remind myself how lucky I am to have such an amazing job.
Natalie: My coach, Teri McKeever.
Natalie: Counting Crows, Bush, Courtney Love, Jay Z, Beyonce, Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson…the list goes on.
Natalie: Fried chicken or gelato.
Natalie: Fresh figs, sweet potatoes and lowfat milk.
Natalie: Women's Health and Cooking Light.
Natalie: Kashi Go Lean Crunch with sliced bananas…I'm obsessed and eat that every morning.
Natalie: I need my coffee and "quiet time" before my race.
Natalie: I stick to the same routine no matter what meet I am at. I first have my coffee and relax at the meet. Then I have this Pilates/warm-up routine that I have been doing for three years. Then I get in the water and swim. Then I race! By having the same routine, I never question whether I am prepared or not for the race.
Natalie: I would say home (Berkeley, CA) because it's familiar, but if I had to choose somewhere else I would say Sydney, Australia. People there love swimming both in the pool and in the ocean.
Diet Detective: What do you do to relax your mind?
Natalie: One of my favorite things to do is enjoy a great meal with a glass of wine on my balcony with friends. Nothing is more relaxing than that!
Natalie: My nutritional philosophy is to eat lots of whole grains, vegetables/fruits, lean proteins, lowfat dairy, and lots of water. Portion control is very important. From there, I allow myself to eat my treats (glass of wine, piece of chocolate, scoop of ice cream, etc.). I try not to be too restrictive with my diet.
Natalie: It's important to stay true to yourself and your values. I know that it's impossible to please everyone, so I don't try to. I try to be honest with myself and strive to be a better person.
Natalie: Working in a local pool's snack bar. It was horrible.
Natalie: Not sure, but there have been plenty of embarrassing moments.
Diet Detective: What place have you traveled to where you think you could live?
