I got to spend 6 hours the Shady Lea forest this weekend. Here's some of what I saw...

Storified by Bob Plain · Sun, Feb 02 2014 17:16:14

This is the Shady Lea Mill.
#shadyleafalls #shadyleapond #shadylea · Bob Plain
Behind it, is a pretty vast wilderness (by Rhode Island standards). More than 1000 uninterrupted acres of totally undeveloped and largely forgotten forest flanked by scenic 1A in North Kingstown, that lone stretch of 138 that connects Jamestown to Route 4, Gilbert Stuart Road and the above artist colony.
Anyone else still have this much ice in their backyard? #shadyleafalls #shadylea · Bob Plain
It's officially called the Mattattuxet River, but it's better known as the headwaters of the Narrow River, the brackish estuary that connects Narragansett Beach to Gilbert Stuart's birthplace. (The picture below is about a mile upstream from Stuart's place.)

The surrounding woodlands are a picture-perfect scene of what a forest can look like when it's left to regrow.
What a maturing forest looks like. #shadyleaforest · Bob Plain
Because, of course, this wasn't always a forest. Probably only 100 years ago it was all a part of a big farm. 
Evidence this was once civilization. (and notice the #holly in distance) #shadyleaforest · Bob Plain

My opinion on garbage removal in Vancouver

0
0

What exactly will be the price you must shell out if you would like the junk in your house to be disposed of? A lot of Vancouver British Columbia residents are asking this identical question contemplating some of them are having difficulty having reliable details about removal rates. I have in my hands a listing of average junk pick up rates and also other prices, but before I provide it to you, allow me to explain what are the basis for these prices.

Storified by week8output · Sun, Feb 02 2014 17:17:05

Do you know the amount that will be asked from you if you want junk to be disposed of? This is an issue numerous residents of Vancouver BC are faced with and looking for dependable information on pick up prices could be hard. Before I start listing typical rubbish disposal premiums and rates, I should cover some necessary info about what these rates are based.

Take advantage of what the online world has to offer. What you are going to do is to make a thorough research for businesses that offer services in Vancouver City for trash removal services; to make your search somewhat less difficult, use the numerous resources that the web provides you for they have valuable facts concerning the best companies that many people choose for rubbish hauling services in Vancouver. For certain, there will be countless results; hence, what you should do is note the top 5 in the list of rubbish disposal providers and try to figure out which among the five is way better. Make sure to copy each one of the links to their webpages and pay a visit to them later on, and in there, consider the different packages they have. There are businesses providing several services that are not sincere when it comes to their terms and conditions. A good firm is one that tells you of their pick up prices, so if the businesses won’t let you know this, you will have to be able to know they are not what you require. Probably why they have not disclosed it is simply because they have extremely high rates for their services and through this, you can somehow be blinded and acquire their services and regret it in the final analysis.
Using the power of the net is one of the best ways you can do to find the most trustworthy rubbish removal provider in your place. don’t waste your time with newspapers or yellow pages. You’ll certainly locate updated details through the web specially now that we are living in a technologically driven world. After you found the result, have at least 5-6 links of trash pick up firms and look at their websites. Be cautious with this as usually, they will trick you with the terms they offer. If the provider does not publish its disposal rates on their webpage, don’t garbage your time and effort. Have a look at other site. This is because you may be faced with a big hauling charges from a Business that is sneaky on their sites. don’t you think it is a thing that you need to be suspicious about?


Yet another point that should be made is that a few things carry extra charges. For instance the city of Vancouver British Columbia rules require all beds or box springs to be recycled. The recyclable materials from mattress and boxspring include lumber and metal. Taking away components to be recycled in the mattress is hard work, and waste pick up businesses have to pay more charges aside from the typical pick up charges. What providers do is they let their customers shoulder the extra charges.

Be sure to know the ideal quote given that there are several companies in Vancouver BC that will only change their minds without any notice. This is all done with the assistance of wording. That is the reason why, you must check very carefully the pick up charges that they provide. Do they include all the charges or just labour hours? Agree on conditions. There undoubtedly is a need for you as well to tell them that they will be taking the junk over some distance apart from focusing on the details with regards to removal fees. With that, you should prepare for any additional costs. For that reason, you should let them know about all possible obstacles and special conditions.

If you want to throw 1 or 2 things like furniture, expect every item to have its own disposal charge. An item such as the couch will fairly cost around $65-$85. In case you have some single items, stay away from small providers which is somebody with a pick up truck attempting to earn a couple of bucks. You should know that these providers will just give you problem with their low quality services. It is also unquestionable that hiring these guys would mean allowing them inside your house. Craigslist gives several info concerning individuals offering up low-cost home services in which their true purposes was to seize the property.

When the junk pick up business you have selected did not fail you, do not misplace their contact information. Here are some of the top choices of the inhabitants in Vancouver British Columbia for the best trash removal business.

FMLN AVENTAJA Y ROZA TRIUNFO EN PRIMERA VUELTA

635269545568096556w · PiruloAr1
El candidato del gobernante FMLN, Salvador Sánchez Cerén, aventaja al opositor Norman Quijano y roza el triunfo en primera vuelta en las elecciones celebradas hoy en El Salvador, según los primeros resultados oficiales.

Con el 25,01% de los votos escrutados, Sánchez Cerén, del Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN), suma el 49,20 % y Quijano, de Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (ARENA), el 38,98 %, indicó el Tribunal Supremo Electoral (TSE) en su sitio web.

CIERRAN CENTROS ELECTORALES Y COMIENZA EL RECUENTO DE VOTOS

635269783666781337w · PiruloAr1
Los centros de votación cerraron hoy sus puertas en El Salvador a las 17.00 hora local (23.00 GMT), cuando comenzó el recuento de los sufragios después de una tranquila jornada para elegir al nuevo presidente para el período 2014-2019. El Tribunal Supremo Electoral (TSE) tiene previsto emitir los primeros resultados a más tardar a las 22.00 hora local, según el presidente de ese organismo, Eugenio Chicas.

Recordó que la publicación de consultas a boca de urna y las proyecciones de resultados están prohibidas por la legislación electoral salvadoreña, y que sólo son válidos los datos que difunda el TSE. Chicas aclaró que los centros donde aún haya votantes en espera podrán seguir abiertos y consideró que la participación en estas elecciones podría haber superado el 50 % de los 4.955.107 salvadoreños que fueron convocados.

Las votaciones comenzaron a las 07.00 hora local  y la jornada transcurrió en un ambiente de tranquilidad, sin incidentes ni anomalías de gravedad, coincidieron autoridades, partidos, candidatos y observadores. El TSE instaló un total de 10.446 urnas en 1.593 centros de votación en todo el país. En las elecciones participaron cinco candidatos, pero los favoritos son Salvador Sánchez Cerén, del izquierdista Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN), en el poder, y Norman Quijano, de la opositora y derechista Alianza Republicana Nacionalista (ARENA). Sin embargo, las encuestas apuntaron a una segunda vuelta porque ninguno alcanzaría la mitad más uno de los votos este domingo.

After review, the Broncos will keep the ball. Holliday was ruled down by contact. They'll take over on their 33.

Trindon Holliday appears to have fumbled on the ensuing kickoff return, and Seattle has recovered. It's being reviewed, but the initial call is a fumble, Seahawks ball.

Development of robotics has exponential raised over the past decade. Many countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Germany are competing to successfully create artificial intelligence to benefit humanity. (The Huffington Post) Professors, engineers, and politics have discussed issues referring to robots ethics and what possibilities human society will have to deal with when robots coexist among us. Some issues that being debated are relations between humans and robots, warfare and purpose of self-sacrifice, and whether or not allow robots to fully function towards self-decisions. The programmer must design the robot to follow strict guidelines towards them behaving humanely. Robots should allow the right to make their own decisions because if robots are self-aware of themselves, they will have the same characteristics as a human therefore, allowing them the privilege to choose intimacy, self-sacrifice, and self-decisions.

Has The Average Credit Score Decreased During The Recession?

Storified by julieturner · Mon, Feb 03 2014 17:35:01

It is obvious that when the economic recession in 2008 put people out of gainful employment it led to a number of people to become suddenly unable to pay debts they have accrued. However, so many people are slowly but surely recuperating from the unprecedented global financial transitions that developed in 2008. In turn, many people consider the issue of has the average credit score decreased during the recession? Regrettably, despite having progress in the economy the usual credit scores for North Americans are nevertheless lower than ever before.

 

Are credit rankings going down although many people comprehend exactly how crucial it is to only borrow as much as they are able to pay for? The average credit ranking for all Americans is 660; eight points below a year ago. In cities like for example Miami, Florida, the common overall credit score in 2012 was 646, 12 points less than the year before.

 

Experian, one of the leading credit scoring providers in the United States, states that only credit scores above 700 show an outstanding reputation of managing personal financial obligations. Therefore the typical American has fair or perhaps bad credit inside of the criteria that Experian has set. Many financiers demand payment of high or subprime loan rates to consumers with credit ratings less than 680 - if they will even issue loans at all.

 

Holiday spending is often a problem which leads to the likelihood of credit rankings decreasing. Even when a person doesn't charge up credit cards to purchase loved ones presents, he is still subject to paying out more money on gifts around the holidays as opposed to charge card payments. As a result, buyers making just the minimum payments or perhaps postponing monthly payments are usually all-too-common occurrences in December and January. Most companies including magazines distribute typical statistics following the end of a calendar year; this increases the thought yes is the answer to the question of has the average credit score decreased during the recession?

 

Property foreclosures continue to be a problem in many areas of the United States. Regardless of whether somebody willingly hands over the keys to her residence or loses them via a lending institution's legal action, a foreclosure can wreak havoc on a credit score for not less than seven years. In addition to the money that is needed to buy a new house typically can make it harder for that individual to pay for his other obligations.

Joe Namath resurrects the fur coat, takes over Twitter

Joe Namath ruffled some feathers over the weekend by wearing a fur coat to Superbowl XVLIII.

Storified by rhiannaschmunk · Mon, Feb 03 2014 17:36:12

While Joe Namath's pre-game coin toss was a little early, it seems his choice of attire may have been a few decades late.
The former New York Giants quarterback immediately caused a stir when he showed up to the Superbowl on February 2nd dressed in a large fur coat, complete with a fluffy hood.
This wasn't the first time Namath has sported such a fuzzy ensemble. Football fans of the 60's and 70's may have gotten a dose of déja vu when they saw Broadway Joe in one of his classic wardrobe staples.
                                                                                                      Namath in November 1973.
The outfit arguably garnered almost as much attention as the Superbowl's 48th kick-off. Animal activists and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) were horrified and took to Twitter to express their reactions.
Others were impressed by the 70-year-old's sense of personal style:
Some even made comparisons between Namath's attire and other iconic pop-culture jackets:

Joe Namath knows the deal... #FurCoat #StayClassy http://t.co/YiFYmGt9b5 · Ron Burgundy
Whatever the reaction, it's unlikely that it'll keep Namath out of a hairy animal-rights controversy anytime soon.
