Take Down The Bird Feeder: Black Bears Now Active In Mass. | Stone Column

Amenities: The building will offer an outdoor pool, an indoor lap pool, and a spa and fitness room. Additional amenities in a separate facility exclusively for residents will include a tennis court, a residents’ lounge and a multi-purpose room. Air-conditioned private parking will also be provided for each residence.

Construction of Tigris will only use a portion of the former Tidal Wave water ride location. The ride’s compact footprint allowed construction crews to preserve much of the existing landscaping. The lush surroundings make the new ride seem like it’s always been in the park.

Menaghlazi has created a clean-lined California coastal design style for the Sonoma model.  Light oak hardwood floors will combine with soft white ivory and tan backgrounds and tongue-in-groove ceilings to present a relaxed yet elegant ambiance.  Visitors will experience a landscaped setting and the sound of a cascading water wall as they make their way across a water feature on a large stone pavered walkway that leads to the Sonoma’s double-door entry.  The foyer will lead to the great room and provide a see-through view of the outdoor living area.

Development Group announced it is offering a $100,000 incentive for finish upgrades in newly constructed residences at Isola Bella, an exclusive 4.5-acre enclave of just 17 single-family waterfront home sites situated immediately adjacent to Talis Park’s Grand Piazza that showcases the iconic Great Lawn and the award-winning Vyne House clubhouse.  Seagate is on schedule to begin construction of two furnished models at the new Isola Bella neighborhood this spring.  The Isola Bella home sites present spectacular water and golf course views and can accommodate estate residences from 3,500 to more than 5,000 square feet.  The new models will feature interiors designed by Theory Design’s Vice President of Design Ruta Menaghlazi.  Pricing for both models will be announced when construction begins.

The compact footprints allow amusement parks to squeeze a thrilling coaster into a space usually occupied by a smaller ride like a sedate carousel or leisurely Ferris Wheel.

"We've had just over 90mm, so it's going to fill up the dams, and it'll mean a really good start ahead of winter," she said.

While 19th century people were tossing old grain to birds in the dooryard, bird feeding as the year-round, mildly obsessive pursuit didn’t start until the 1980s. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s national survey on wildlife recreation, 57 million people now feed wild birds in North America. Weirdly, if you read further in the same survey, only 38 million reported closely looking at the birds, so, according to these numbers, 19 million people feed the birds but then apparently forget to look out the window. Either that or the Fish and Wildlife Service needs to fire their survey statistician. But I digress. The point is that’s a lot of people, and a lot of money spent on seed, feeders, and other accoutrements - $4 billion a year in the United States, to be precise. Why do we do it? Is it even good for the birds?

Remember variety is the spice of life gardens. Vary your chosen plants’ height, shape, scale, and even their texture. You want to create the impression of a lovely natural meadow, not a regiment of soldiers standing stiffly at attention.

For Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh and others who want to see significant changes to the NFL's instant replay system, the two proposals on the table at the league's annual meeting this week are small gestures that could one day take the league in a much different direction.

The rotation, as I said, could be in line with the one that was middle of the pack in starters’ ERA last year. The every-day lineup is at least interesting (with the possibility of changing dramatically as the season progresses). If Seager and Gordon have bounce-back seasons, Mallex Smith gets healthy quickly, and Domingo Santana reverts to his 30-homer form of 2017, there is some real run-scoring potential here. Yes, that’s a lot of ifs (and I didn’t include them all).

I shall repeat the simple fact that I am the narrator of this work and not the author. In the matter of my fate, so to call it, I am no more able to exercise choice than is any narrator of any of the texts going forward in room after room in this wing of the house of two or, perhaps, three storeys where this text to be is understood as going forward, or any character, so to call him or her, in any work of fiction reported to be going forward in any of those rooms.
