How do we keep this one?

The trouble with word and mouth is people want this to be there “secret place” so for some it’s a bad idea.
People already know me and how involved I am on this site, so it does not bother me.
I will be telling others. If they come then win win. If not then at least I’ve tried.

Yep, this is definitely my safe place. Plus I have no friends to tell.

How do you keep moving forward without falling into the trap of seeing if the grass is greener?

The grass is always greener, but there are also some weeds in there.

Good to see you starting a new chapter!
The new trend here in journalism has been community event papers. Promoting social events and awards. Not for profit. One man bands though and subsidized through advertising. A lot of work, but you meet good people:)

That's basically what we were trying to do... though we were a for-profit company (we did talk about changing to not-for-profit). The problem I think was that we were a free paper, and because of that we missed out on a number of revenue streams.

Its the same here, free magazines promoting things in the area, competitions and lots and lots of adverts. Im hoping to start writing articles myself soon if they will allow me to.

As for a logo, I got mine on etsy for about £25, its not exclusive to me though but it is different to most and i have never seen anyone else with it.

It sounds silly.

Thats understandable, you have a negative association with hands, and they generally look the more or less the same. What needs to be done is now pair a positive reinforcement with hands.

Play your favourite song, have your favourite scent and foods, and ask if you can touch his hands. run your fingers over them, play with them, etc. You will begin to disassociate hands with something bad happening.

Hands are not bad, the person who hurt you is.

Plus its quite common that surfers are partial to drugs. Any way, Im sure you would need malaria tablets at least, not sure about any other shots. Apply for the passport fast, I think the price is going up and its usually in april.

In the UK, we dont ned to hunt with semi automatics, maybe americans need to improve their aim?

Well, you know, Nix, that after that Dunblane thing in Scotland, the UK government went nuts and outlawed all kinds of guns.

People hunt with semi-automatics for a number of reasons--and, by the way, in the States there are limits on how many rounds of ammunition your hunting gun can hold while out in the field. Game departments don't want people "spraying and praying."

But semi-automatics have one key advantage over other guns: their gas operated actions reduce recoil. That's important for recoil-challenged people. The new breed of semi-automatics are also as accurate as most bolt-action rifles.

But back to recoil. Shortly after shooting my "elephant gun" a number of times, one of my retinas started to detach. I had to get it tacked back in with a laser. That elephant gun was in .416 Remington magnum caliber--and its recoil was quite fierce. And while I can psychologically handle heavy recoil, my eyes cannot do so any longer.

That's one reason a new cartridge, the 6.5mm Creedmoor, has become so popular for long range shooting competitions and hunting: it has the same trajectory as a .300 Winchester magnum, but only about a quarter of the recoil.

Put another way, you can go to the range and shoot a few boxes of 6.5 Creedmoor--especially if you are shooting it in an Armalite (AR) type of platform--and not have a bruised shoulder. If you shoot a few boxes of .300 magnum ammunition, you are very likely to have a bruised shoulder. And if you shoot a few boxes of .416 Remington magnum ammo, you may end up in the ER!

Truthfully, I haven't hunted for a number of years now. The only animal I'd really want to hunt is the coyote--because they are nasty pieces of work that kill and eat people's dogs and cats, and even attack children. We need to thin out their ranks, as they have expanded their original ranges many times over.

But when I go coyote hunting, it will be with an AR--because of the high degree of accuracy and light recoil. A magazine capacity of 10 rounds or so should do just fine, as that will provide the ability to track a running coyote and give you several chances to get him.

The last deer I had in the crosshairs of my .30/06 I let go. I could see she had been wounded by another hunter, and some dogs had been chasing her. I did not want to add to her troubles.

Thats true, the governement did go nuts, but guns are not completely banned here, its very easy to go on shoot, theyre just very restricted. Fortunately we dont have many dangerous animals here, I think the biggest threat is actually the badger!
