Grand Beach Bears

Grand beach Manitoba, It's a great beach on the shores of  Lake Winnipeg, many people from all over Manitoba come to swim and enjoy the beautiful sandy beach
 But the summer it has been dry in many parts of Manitoba and with the dry spell the nut's and berry's didn't grow. Or not as well as they do other years and this leaves some of nature creatures hungry. The bears are no exception the need to have enough food to store up their fat for winter. Bears hibernate all winter they live of the fat they stored up in summer and stay in there den's all winter.

But when it get's dry and their natural food isn't growing then they start looking for new sources to eat, and this can be a problem. Black bears are a shy creature under normal conditions but when they get hungry they get to be problematic. All to often they wonder into residential areas to look for food. This is where they become dangerous, at 350 to 400 lbs a black bear is no pussy cat.

When they wonder into residential area's the department of natural resources Trap the animal and deliver it back into the wild. In some cases this is not possible and the animal has to be killed for the safety of people and property. Because they shy away from people most of the time they don't posse a big threat but when they are hungry then it's a different story. They become aggressive although bear attack are rare they still happen. In 2005 one man was killed by a Black Bear while an other man was injured only one week apart.

The attacks are more common when the food supply is low. When there is plenty, hunger takes over and the shyness leaves. This year the food supply is low and the dangers of attacks are real. I live East of Winnipeg,  and on Highway # 1,  there have been three bears killed by vehicles this summer, and one was trapped in town at our local restaurant. Some of the locals have had there garbage ripped apart and spread all over the place.

In the case of Grand Beach the bear was out on the beach in daylight and this would posse a threat to the public and it could very easily have led to an attack. Some people are un-happy that this bear met his end but he would not have gone into a trap and if he did he would have come back just as soon. The next time they would not have been able to trap him. Once a bear has been trapped once the second time it's not easy to trap him again. Case and point, a few years ago the D N R set a trap for a bear and it was seen sleeping in the shade of the trap with bear bait in inside (The door was wide open).

The one mistake many people make is that they feed birds year round and a bear can smell bird food or any food for up to a mile away. When their hungry they will look for it and usually find it. The D N R warrens against feeding birds, but in the summer there are birds that you don't see in winter. So what is the answer? Here are some suggestions, Don't leave food out for your pet's,feed birds away from the house or not at all in the summer,enclose your garbage in a secure location till garbage day. Hope that mother nature provides for her creatures and  


 DON'T FEED THE BEARS. 

     

    

when is stress too much stress

 

When is stress too much?

We all have stress in our every day lives, but when is it too much?

Stress sneaks up on you from different areas and you might not even know it, but it builds and builds till it becomes too much. Stress is not a medical condition but it causes medical problems, you can stress over things that really make you sick. When the stress is over we feel much better, My son would be sick on Mondays, the problem was he had home work that he forgot about. This is just one example of how stress can affect you.

What about the meeting with an important client this is stress full, as you have been working on this account for a long time. Now it's come down to the wire,sure you are stressed, what IF? what then? this will give any body stress.

Here are some symptoms to watch out for, Stomach upset is very often the first one which can also be a flue symptom some times it's hard to tell.

   

headache 

Muscle tension or pain 

Fatigue 

Change in sex drive 

Stomach upset 

Sleep problems

So how do you tell if it's stress or not? You need to sit down and think of any sudden changes in your life

that where hard to deal with. This could be the first clue, it may not have been a big deal at the time but over time one small thing has time to build. This can build and as it builds be hind the seen it can manifest it self into a big problem.

I drove truck for many years, and if some thing was said before the trip you had all day to think about it, by the end of the day this comment was enough to start an argument.

This is how it can work on you because you have the time to (brood) about it and if you didn't care for the person that made a comment. You will (brood) and after a while it will become some thing you think about alot. Now it has become the main thought on your mind. you will start to notice some of the symptoms above.

People are not all the same, some can walk away from this and they won't be bothered by it at all.

Others are more sensitive to there surroundings and it may affect them more then not.

Stress doesn't not affect every body the same way, some go thru life care free with out a care for the most part they know how to deal with it there and then and go on to the next thing.

  

We try to work online

When we try to get a business going online we are overwhelmed by so many new and shiny things that come along that we loose focus. This causes us to stop getting started with what we thought we would like to start with.The only thing is that if you stay on one thing or a niche that your interested in then you will get to where your going.I had coffee with a friend of mine and I could see she didn't have a focus on anything she wanted to start with to many interests. For a new comer this is not a good way to start.

Finding an area of interest may be a task in it self but you know where you want to go and with her she had a few that she wanted. I told her to pick one, I could see that if she did change her focus then she would start a new project and this one would stay behind. Lets take dog training, this market is full of dog trainers and the problem is that if you know how or not,it's important that you get of the beaten path.

You will get run over from a better trainer so the key is to take a smaller niche and work there you may not have millions of viewers but the ones you do have are more likely to be buyers. And this is a problem that is often made because people want the MONEY right away. Sadly this is not the case any more people have many options and don't have to buy from you.

There are still and always will be many websites that tell you that you can get paid over night, but what they don't tell you is that they have a list of people.
This list is in some case long but you don't need a long list not everybody buys from you some don't have money, others don't just spend on every new thing that comes along.
Take the local coffee shop, not every body that comes in will have a big meal, some just come for coffee and want to talk to there friends.


When you have your web site up and running then they will come and, shall we say shop, but they might find something they like and buy from you.
This is not always the case, you know from your self that you have gone into stores that didn't have what you wanted, there for you didn't buy any thing.
The web is no different there have been and still are many get rich scams out there and there always will be for this reason people are more careful of what they buy.
You may think the market is flooded but that is so far from the truth because the internet has just begone, and there is lots of room for you.

Sadly I have to end this here but I will be back with more information about online business.

weekend fun

Weekend fun  

We all enjoy the weekend it gives us time from our everyday toil and humdrum,whether it is work or some thing else. It seams that on the weekend our problem slow down, we get to relax end have a break. For many this is the time to reset our stress clock so we can start again.

But how do we start when we can't do this if thing get too much to handle, what do we do then?

I was asked how I was able to keep in such a good mood even with all the things that went wrong?

You know I couldn't answer that I just do, I reset my weekend clock. I'm reminded of the worry tree, a little story I read some time ago. It is about a man who has trouble at work during the day, at the end of the day if thing weren't bad enough he had a flat tire.

His boss gave him a ride home and when they got to his house he asked his boss to come in and meet his family. The boss agreed when they got to the employe's place he got out of the truck walked over to a small tree. He took of his imaginary pack and hung it on the tree and went in side.

When he got inside he hugged his kids,kissed his wife and introduced his family,his boss stayed for a while and then left. On his way out the boss looked at his employe and asked what he had done by that tree when they first got there. The employe said that's my worry tree every night when I come home from work I hang my worry's on that tree. They don't come inside, in the house is my time for me and my family there is no time for worry's. Oh there still there in the morning but they aren't bad then.

This is not word for word how the story goes but the point is that,we need to worry at some time but there is a time and a place for this.

We should take time of from our worries and just enjoy living. We worry about things out of our control and things to far in the future we are creature of habit and it can be hard to change our habit but you can try a bit at a time.
