Elk neck state park11/13/2023 ![]() The hawk watch site is near a picnic bench and a kiosk installed by the Cecil Bird Club that displays paintings of the common hawks that fly over in the fall.īe sure to continue past the hawk watch site to the lighthouse area and the Point itself. To reach the hawk watch site, continue on the gravel lane through the first meadow and then through a small strip of trees, emerging in the second meadow. The ground underneath has a lot of downed wood, which attracts migrant thrushes and Winter Wrens. ![]() The trees in this corner are festooned with vines where songbirds like to hunt for insects and berries. Especially good is the corner where the lane makes a sharp left as it veers inland. ![]() The wood edges on both sides of the lane are prime places to look for migrating warblers, vireos, thrushes, flycatchers, and more. Continue south on this lane, which will soon veer inland, passing through two meadows. The treetops on the cliffs can be filled with migrant songbirds during migration. Most of the walk is on a gravel lane on level ground, although the first part is a short uphill section with spectacular views of the water from the top of the cliffs.Īfter parking, walk past the gate onto the gravel lane, which heads south with cliffs overlooking the Northeast River on your right. It is about a one-mile walk to the Point and its historic lighthouse, with good birding all the way. Rangers will turn excess cars away, so be sure to arrive early.

Although the Turkey Point hawk watch site no longer has official counters, it is still a good place to watch migrating hawks.Īs of fall 2021, the Maryland Biodiversity Project has launched a daily fall bird count that collects data on all birds, not just hawks, at Turkey Point. The Turkey Point area consists primarily of hardwood forest and open meadows located on high bluffs above the rivers and the Bay.įrom 1994 through 2016, volunteers from the Cecil Bird Club staffed the Turkey Point Hawk Watch, and their data can be viewed in the database of the Hawk Migration Association of North America. In addition, Turkey Point is a great place for migrating passerines in both spring and fall and for waterfowl in winter. The rich habitat and strategic location combine to make Turkey Point the #1 eBird hotspot in Cecil County, with over 215 species reported. The Elk Neck peninsula acts as a migrant trap, and is best-known as a hawk watch spot during fall migration.

General grabber at tires 4runner11/13/2023 I refused as I was not willing to buy any more tires without guaranteed reimbursement. I mentioned their warranty and then they offered 100% on the tires if I bought new ones and they inspected and saw an issue. I then contacted General and they started with the same 50% offer. Tire Rack wouldn’t do anything for me either in terms of a credit toward other tires. General told Tire Rack they would give me 50% credit toward the two faulty tires (if I bought another 2 tires from them). I reached back out to Tire Rack who contacted General. The ride was improved but still drove horribly, especially for a significant portion of the highway speed range. Also, they are very familiar with these tires as they sell and install them. They showed me on the balancing machine that two of them (one which was already replaced) was out of round due to what they said were belt issues…you could see that the tread of the tire did not spin cleanly and the machine was shaking. I went to a local tire place with a great reputation to get another point of view and paid to get all 4 rebalanced. The tires were still not driving smoothly and showed balancing issues at various speed ranges. I paid up front for the remounting and was reimbursed several weeks later after multiple follow-ups. I got on the phone with Tire Rack and they sent out two replacements which they said they would road force ahead of sending. With the initial mounting and balancing (on brand new 17” TRD rims), the Toyota dealer that installed them indicated that two were out of round based on road force balancing. The experience I have had with these General Grabber ATX tires has easily been the worst I’ve ever had with any tire purchase, and I have bought a lot of tires for a lot of vehicles. Excited to see how they do in the summer and in muck. (?maybe also the lower psi - not sure if someone might comment on that?) I think I made the right decision on P rated with respect to ride quality. I'm getting bad mileage but assuming that's because I tromp the throttle generally. I have them at 33 PSI currently and they have a nice wide body and tread profile that gives it a more aggressive look than the stock tires. And in 90 percent of slippery conditions the 4runner takes off like a bat out of hell in 4wd and I have no problem with quick stopping. I have been on decent inclines in 4 inch snow and had no problem with traction in 4wd. These circumstances might have slightly better performance with winter or ice tires but would probably require a similar level of traction. It does slide on pure ice eg at stop signs or if I take a corner too fast but I think this is to be expected. Vs winter tires I really like a all terrains as a middle ground because I can drift around and not worry about the soft tire compound melting off. I certainly feel confident in winter conditions. I never drove a truck before getting the 4runner and these are the only tires I've used. Been winter here for a few months we've had wet snow, ice and I just got back from a ride in light Blizzard conditions -17C. I think I've got enough time in on them to give an opinion. Thanks to everyone who provided some insight on these tires. We kept it in 4wd and cruised right thru. During our trip we saw lots of cars stuck and spun out. I’m impressed by how well they did in the harsh conditions. I’ve had a chance to put some decent miles during a road trip from Denver to Phoenix over the Thanksgiving weekend where we experienced heavy snow through all of New Mexico on i25 and i40. She says they feel a lot better in the snow and icy roads and they are a lot quieter than the old coopers. So far she’s had 2 good snow days in Denver with the new tires and I’m yet to get a call from her panicked that she’s going to slide off the road. I figured some of it is her driving and some of it was the tires. This is my wife’s ride and her old tires made her feel like she was on skates when it snowed. ![]() These tires have seen most conditions now: snow, rain, ice, dry, in town and open highway. I went with the SL’s since it’s a daily driver and most of its time is spent on road. I’ve had mine installed for about 2500 miles now. I figured I’d chime in since this thread helped me pull the trigger on getting the ATX’s after my Cooper AT3’s we’re nearing the end of the road.

Niacin 500 mg side effects11/13/2023 Vitamin B3 is known to aid in promoting a healthy digestive system, be important for the health of the skin, increase circulation and help reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, promote relaxation, facilitate orgasms, and act as a mild growth-hormone releaser. Also, when we are deficient in such nutrients as vitamins B1, B2, and B6, vitamin C, and iron, we cannot easily convert tryptophan to niacin. When niacin is not present in sufficient amounts, extra protein is needed. Extended-release formulas can help with this symptom. It may also be used with other medications. It can interact with some medications and cause side effects, some of them very serious. These doses may be safe under the supervision of your health care provider, but you should not self-medicate with high doses of niacin. Niacin is thus not truly essential in the diet when enough protein, containing adequate amounts of tryptophan, and other nutrients are consumed. The most common niacin supplement side effect is skin flushing. Niacin (vitamin B3) plays an important role in maintaining the health of your heart, blood vessels, and metabolism. Studies that have tested niacin as a cholesterol-lowering agent have used doses ranging from 500 mg to 2,000 mg. Small amounts may be stored in the liver, but most of the excess is excreted in the urine.Īnother important fact about vitamin B3 is that it can be manufactured from the amino acid tryptophan, which is essential (needed in the diet). White crystalline substances that are soluble in both water and alcohol, niacin and niacinamide are both readily absorbed from the small intestine. It is resistant to the effects of heat, light, air, acid, and alkali. Niacin is one of the most stable of the B vitamins. Serious side effects are most likely if you take between 2,000 to 6,000 mg of niacin a day. The amide, nicotinamide, is incorporated into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Another option is NicAzel tablets (nicotinamide 600 mg, azelaic acid 5 mg, zinc 10 mg, pyridoxine 5 mg, copper 1.5 mg, and folic acid 500 mcg) up to 4 tablets daily. It is the pellagra-preventing factor of vitamin B. Acne: Nicomide tablets (750 mg of niacinamide, zinc 25 mg, copper 1.5 mg, folic acid 500 mcg) once, twice or 3 times a day. ![]() ![]() Nicotinic acid is an essential component of a mammalian diet. It is part of the vitamin B complex and is involved in the oxidative release of energy from food, protects the skin, and helps improve circulation. Vitamin B3, also called nicotinic acid and niacin, is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for many aspects of health, growth, and reproduction.

Rolling stones paint it black album11/13/2023 Jagger got the line “I turn my head until my darkness goes” from James Joyce’s Ulysses.ĥ. Nearly forty years later, in 2004, it was ranked number 176 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.Ĥ. In 1966, the single topped both the United States and the United Kingdom charts, making it the first ever US and UK number one single to feature a sitar. It’s not an original thought by any means. ![]() When asked at the time why he wrote a song about death and depression Mick Jagger replied: “I don’t know. Keith Richards later said that the comma was added by the record label, Decca.Ģ.There was no specific inspiration for the lyrics. The original version was entitled “Paint It Black” without a comma. Two very good reasons to dig deeper and discover more about a song, music critic Richie Unterberger said, “qualifies as perhaps the most effective use of a sitar in a rock song.”ġ. What’s more, it’s one of our favourite tunes ever. Released in 1966, it was the first single from the fourth album, Aftemath, and became an anthem for the Sixties counter culture. One of the most iconic of their incredible 439 tracks is “Paint It, Black”. Hardly surprising when you learn they’ve been together for over half a century and hold the record for the most recorded songs of all time. It was included on the 1989 compilation Singles Collection: The London Years.The Rolling Stones have probably released more iconic tracks than any other band in history. Ian Stewart plays organ on the song while Jack Nitzsche performs electric piano. Charlie Watts on drums, while Bill Wyman plays bass. With Jagger on lead vocals and tambourine, Richards on electric guitars and backing vocals Brian Jones on acoustic. "Stupid Girl" was recorded at Los Angeles' RCA Studios on 6–9 March 1966. The way she talks about someone else That she don't even know herself She's the sickest thing in this world Well look at that stupid girl I'm not talking about the way she combs her hair - look at that stupid girl. ![]() I'm not talking about the kind of clothes she wears - look at that stupid girl. I was obviously in with the wrong group." None of them seemed to care they weren't pleasing me very much. Obviously, I was having a bit of trouble. "Yeah, it's much nastier than 'Under My Thumb'. When asked about the song and its influences, Jagger said in a 1995 interview with the same magazine, ![]() When you're canned up - half the time it's impossible to go out - it was to go through a whole sort of football match." Not all dumb, not by any means, but that's how one got. "It was all a spin-off from our environment. On the song's lyrics, Richards said in a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone, But while it is not as well-written as "Under My Thumb," "Stupid Girl" possesses an endearing and energetic snottiness that might have won the Stones a good amount of sexually frustrated young men fans who might have otherwise started to defect to the Who and the Kinks when they heard ballads like " Lady Jane." "Unlike another of the album's put-downs, "Under My Thumb," "Stupid Girl" rails and spits venom with a high school garage rock band-like intensity and with about the same level of polish and focus. On the song, Bill Janovitz says in his review, Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Stupid Girl" is noted for its apparently degrading lyrics towards women, a claim also made about other Stones songs like " Under My Thumb". It was also issued as the B-side of the U.S. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the song featured on the band's 1966 album Aftermath. " Stupid Girl" is a song recorded by the English rock band the Rolling Stones.

Good shows on netflix 202211/13/2023 ![]() I loved the first season, wasn’t mad on the second and then loved the third (which happened to be set in Ireland). The station is manned by Australian and American forces and involves plenty of twists and turns. This show focuses on Pine Gap, a surveillance station near the town of Alice Springs in Australia. I’ve just finished the first series of Pine Gap to discover there’s no damn second series… not ideal. I watched this one a couple of months back and it was great from start to finish. It follows the likes of Dakota Fanning as they attempt to apprehend a dark figure that’s roaming the city. The Alienist is a dark psychological thriller set in 1890s New York. It’s set in the years leading up to the Six-Day War in 1967 with Isrrael and Syria and, although slow in the beginning, quickly picks up speed towards the end of episode one.

Home 2 suites philadelphia pa11/13/2023 ![]() Around the area towards the lifts are four computers and printing facilities. There are three elevators (lifts) at the rear of reception to take you to the higher floors, in my case, the third floor. The Reception booked us in with the normal Hilton efficiency and with a warm welcome told me about the facilities and answered my questions about the internet and breakfast. It is only a short walk from Jefferson to the hotel even with our luggage. We chose the Home2Suites for its location especially as we could travel from the airport to Jefferson on the SEPTA trains for $6.75 each for the single journey rather than a taxi (estimated at $26). This hotel is the love child between a Hilton and an IKEA.I was looking for a great hotel, close to the city centre of Philadelphia for a couples holiday. I mean, given the choice, who wouldn't opt to go there for a great breakfast, some incredible pastries and a perfect latte? I think someone else hit it spot on. But the Reading Terminal Market is right across the street. In my book the free breakfast was just OK. My room was quiet, but another in our party had boisterous neighbors and had to resort to ear plugs to sleep one night. I moved one of the lamps, problem solved. I found the rooms a little dark at the desk area. They will provide cooktop upon request I only had one (minor) complaint. The rooms have a microwave, good sized refrigerator, sink and dishwasher. The rooms were brand new (in fact they are still awaiting installation of the little built-in LED lights on the headboards). The service was professional, helpful and very friendly. In short, this hotel has a PERFECT location. Rittenhouse Square is a nice (but a bit longer) walk. It is an easy walk to Independence Hall, Chinatown, City Hall and the Arts district. ![]() It is directly across the street from the Reading Terminal Market, 1/2 block from the Convention Center and a block from the SEPTA station. A potion of our group stayed in the new Home2 Suites at the Convention Center. I recently attended a convention in Philadelphia. Overall, an awesome deal for my purposes. But I guess that's why the market is just across the hotel. Breakfast spread is pretty basic and notably lacking a good selection of fruits. For the room rate, breakfast and Wi-Fi are included (along with everything you think you'd need in the room should you decide to stay in ~ microwave, seating area (2-seater lounge), pull out dining table, separate work station. Hotel has super friendly staff and the decor is fresh and contemporary (funky furniture, nice youthful colours). ![]() ![]() with a charming boutique for Philly souvenirs as well as a number of interesting restaurants like Jamonero, Barbuzzo, Sampan. Also within walking distance is City Hall and a few useful stores like Macy's, Walgreens, CVS and not far away is 13th St. A short walk down Market Street (at the corner of Marriott) is a stop for several sight-seeing double decker buses. It is right across Reading Terminal Market which has the best donuts in the world (Beiler's Amish hand-rolled donuts) and across Philadelphia Convention center. I booked myself into this hotel at the tail-end of a training that I had attended so that I could explore Philadelphia.

We want to help you restore it as quickly as possible, so please read through the instructions below to see if any of the described circumstances are relevant to you. Neither Hunter’s lawyer nor James Biden immediately returned requests for comment. “If there were ever circumstances that create a conflict of interest and call for a special counsel, that’s here.” “If Joe Biden becomes president, then all those prosecutors are in line to be fired next month,” Cotton told Fox News. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on Attorney General William Barr to appoint a special counsel to handle the investigation of Hunter Biden, echoing a request earlier this week by Rep. It’s unclear if James’ activities are a focus of the investigation, which is being conducted by federal authorities in the Western District of Pennsylvania, Politico said. James Biden briefly had an office at the company’s headquarters in Florida but has disputed claims - supported by a business card with his name on it that was part of a civil case in Tennessee - that he’s a “principal” of the company, Politico said. In addition to that probe, FBI agents have been asking questions about Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, in connection with an investigation involving a bankrupt hospital company, Americore Health, a person with direct knowledge told Politico. The Manhattan prosecutors ended their review after conferring with their counterparts in Delaware, where Hunter disclosed he’s under investigation, Politico said. The securities fraud unit of the Southern District of New York began its review after a judge overturned the fraud conviction of Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter’s, in late 2018, Politico said, citing a source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation. Meanwhile, federal prosecutors in Manhattan have also scrutinized Hunter’s finances and investigators in both Delaware and Washington, DC, were looking into potential money laundering by him as of early last year, according to Politico. He also disputed its estimated value, as claimed by his ex-wife, telling the New Yorker it was probably worth around $10,000.Įmails recovered from the laptop that the FBI seized last year from a Delaware repair shop show that the diamond became an issue during Hunter’s divorce, The Post exclusively revealed in October. Hunter claimed he gave the sparkler to two unidentified associates who also attended the dinner, saying, “I knew it wasn’t a good idea to take it. Last year, Hunter told the New Yorker that Ye gave him the diamond following an introductory dinner meeting in Miami amid his divorce from first wife Kathleen Buhle. It’s unclear how the dispute was resolved. In August 2017, her lawyer demanded proof it was “in a safety deposit box - accessible only by both parties together” and threatened to seek an emergency injunction against Hunter “to enjoin his further dissipation of assets, including the diamond.” It’s unclear whether the diamond - which has been estimated to be worth as much as $80,000 - remains a focus of the tax probe that Hunter and his father’s transition team unexpectedly revealed on Wednesday, according to CNN.Įmails from Hunter’s laptop that were exclusively revealed by The Post in October show that the jewel became a sticking point during his divorce from first wife Kathleen Buhle.
