Re: Share your Disney Secrets!
*Don't eat in disney, its very expensive, can always go to crossroads which is just outside the gates. except Ice cream sundaes from that place at the end of main street and funnel cake at america in epcot.
*for the magic kingdom, go to the contemporary and say your having breakfast. park, then walk around to the gates...way, way quicker than going through the conventional route.
*for epcot go to yacht and beach and go through the gates which open on world showcase, they open at 10 or 11 tho. Good place to buy your park tickets aswell as theres never anybody there.
*Rides during parades. Rides during fireworks.
*go to the little theatre in the building to the right of main street right near the gates to chill out. Theres a mini cinema that plays steamboat willie, the bandstand in the park cartoon and the one with the plants and trees.
*never go in the middle of summer =D
*be daring and sneak into the swimming pool at the beach club, its easily the best one in all of WDW.
...also the grand floridian has very very nice sunbeds.
*BEST resort restaurants, Cape may cafe (i think thats what its called) at yacht and beach club and chef mickeys in the contemporary (good for kids like).
*walk along the boardwalk at the boardwalk hotel.
*try and find some jokes pumpkin carvings when its halloween, i saw some sick ones in the yacht club on year.
*be lucky enough to be an original Vacation club member
this is just like 18 years of repressed disney knowledge

Re: Share your Disney Secrets!
Welcome to Disney Secrets! Thank you for your ideas. I need to say this though. We aren't supporters of doing things like parking at a resort hotel (by saying something that isn't necessarily the complete truth ) to get out of paying for parking.
Nor do we ever recommend that a member sneak into any pool at a resort where they are not registered. Imagine how terribly embarrassing it would be to be escorted out for not having a room key card when asked (I've seen that happen at both the Beach Club and the Boardwalk Inn).
So, do feel free to share your vast knowledge, but do recognize that we only support those bits of knowledge that won't cause potential problems for our members.Thank you for being a member of our Secrets Family!!! We are so very pleased to have you with us!
If you haven't joined yet, do register. It's a great place to make friends and share all those Disney secrets!!

Re: Share your Disney Secrets!
i think the beach club pool is soooo worth it tho
also, the free parking was taken from the days when DVC members had more freedom, like visiting any hotel fro no reason...im not intentionally cheeky ;-)

Re: Share your Disney Secrets!
Yes, the changes to the perks for DVC members have been significant.
The BC pool is definitely wonderful, but they do keep close track of who is using it, and I must say that under no circumstances would I want to be publickly embarrassed and escorted from a pool area. I'd never show my face again, and then where would that leave me! LOL.
At any rate, thank you for your understanding of our general policies here.Thank you for being a member of our Secrets Family!!! We are so very pleased to have you with us!

Re: Share your Disney Secrets!
I think if too many do the 'park at BC to go to Epcot' thing it will ruin it for those who just want to park & visit a resort which is something we do often. Are we no longer allowed to park at a resort just to visit?
I would never attempt sneaking into BC pool for the fear of humiliation if I got caught, lol. And trust me, I'd be the one person to get caught!
Re: Share your Disney Secrets!
my recommendations:
~bring a stroller if you have small kids!! even if you rent one in the parks it won't help when they fall asleep on the bus ride back to the resort & then you have to carry them on the trek to your room. My husband ended up with an umbilical hernia after our first visit & we swore it was from carrying our 4 year old so much, lol
~I agree about the cinema in the back of the Kodak place on Main Street. Quite a nice little spot to relax & enjoy A/C
~just my opinion but don't waste money on refillable mugs. They don't actually hold all that much & they are a pain to keep up with. If you are just using them for meals at the resort then you still have to tote them back to the room before you can head to a park. This is just my experience with them.
~research the layout of the resort you are staying at. They can be HUGE & you may be quite a distance from the food court or pool. Try to have a building that you request to insure you are happy with your location.
~on a rainy day hop on the monorail & 'resort hop'...just check out the three resorts on the monorail system. They are really very beautiful! One of my favorite things to do
~with the cutbacks I don't think they do this anymore but if there are two times for the same evening parade, do the second one. Everyone usually sits & holds a spot for the first & by the time they do the second you can just walk right up & watch (depending on time of year of course)
~if you hate crowds, do DTD during the day. It usually gets really crowded in the evenings so take a morning & do it.
~if staying at the Wilderness Lodge check into being a 'Flag Family'. You get to go up on the roof (which is awesome!) & raise all the flags! It's quite a ceremony.
~at the closing of the parks, I like to take my time getting out & just stroll through the basically empty walkways & enjoy the peace & quiet. I never rush out to the busses, I relish the emptiness & find a bench to sit on & take in a nice view of the castle while everyone else fights the crowd to their way to the busstop, lol.
that's all i have right now, if i think of anything else later, I'll add it

When it comes to designer bras UK women and international women expect high quality lingerie and rightly so. There are numerous types of bras available today and depending on the style and shape, they serve a multitude of purposes in relation to the bust area. For instance, sports bras such as those from Shock Absorber will support the breasts during exercise and ensure total comfort and control during any activity.
For those who want to enhance their cleavage, many of the padded bras online today are perfect for doing just that; they do this by lifting and shaping the bust and thus creating a shapelier silhouette; both Playtex and Triumph do excellent ranges of this type of bra. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are minimising balconette bras which are great for women with larger busts who prefer a more discreet look; the brand Panache are known for producing high quality non padded bras for the fuller figure. For tops and dresses which are closely fitted, seamless underwired bras are a great choice as these will be almost undetectable underneath such clothing.
We stock all sizes including padded A cup bras, strapless DD cup bras online and many more. Wonderbra are a very popular choice with many women today, as these make the bust appear larger and so make it easier to wear certain pieces of clothing. When it comes to colour, material and style, there are endless types of bras to choose from. For everyday use, many women like to opt for basic black, white and nude coloured padded and non padded bras. However, there are a wealth of different colour options available, which come in silk, cotton and some synthetic materials.
There are no products matching the selection.

Scuba Gear Reviews by James C.Rating: Very adequate bag 3/26/2007 This is a very nice weight bag. Not much to say about it except is is nicely made and should hold all the weights any one diver (or maybe even two) would ever want to drag along. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Shot Weight
Rating: Nice weights 3/26/2007 These weights are quite nice. Just about what one would expect for soft weights (which is the only way to go if you have the choice). The only reason they do not get 5 stars is that for 5 stars a product should be extraordinary, which is hard to do with weights. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Shot Weight
Rating: Very Nice Suit 3/26/2007 It is not often that I like to dive with a hood, but if you need one this suit might be for you. It fits very well and is very well made. If you are going to dive with a hood I dont think you will be dissapointed with this suit. Was this review helpful? Yes No
XS Scuba Shot Weight
Rating: Nice Fitting Jumpsuit 3/26/2007 This suit fits well and is easy to move around in. It is a good suit for a good price. Was this review helpful? Yes No
McNett Commercial Ankle Weights
Rating: Nice Weights 3/15/2007 I am quite pleased with these ankle weights and they are perfectly adequate at doing what they are suppose to do. The only reason for not giving this 5 stars is I except something extraordinary to rate 5 stars and lets face it, it is hard for weights to be extraordinary! Was this review helpful?

About Denmark
Denmark has become an attractive study destination for international students for many reasons. The following overview will give you the most important information and guidelines about Denmark.
Denmark has a high standard of living and combines social security with an attractive business climate and a clean and safe environment.
As Denmark is located in the Northern part of Europe then the geographic position makes Denmark an excellent gateway for those, who wish to study in Europe and explore Europe and Scandinavia.
Denmark's infrastructure is well developed. The railway network is extensive, the roads are of high standards and are relatively uncongested. The aviation system is among the most developed in the world and the airports have connections to most of the big international airports in the world.
As most Danes speak English, you will find it easy to live in Denmark even if you do not speak any Danish. Approximately 80% of the population speaks English and many speak French, German or Spanish. When you go shopping, use public transportation and visit official buildings etc. you will find that you can manage perfectly well in English.
Danish higher education
Danish higher education is famous for its innovative teaching approach and high international standards. The Danish institutions offer a dynamic study environment with an emphasis on independent study, initiative and project-oriented learning.
As a student at a Danish higher education institution you are encouraged to play an active role in your learning process and take responsibility for planning and carrying out your projects, either independently or together with other students. In addition to attending lectures, you will be expected to participate in discussions and continuously develop your critical thinking and analytical skills.
For international students, the Danish approach to teaching and learning can introduce a whole new way of studying and thinking, which will challenge you and provide you with an excellent platform for your future career.
Danish higher education institutions are located in modern buildings with excellent facilities such as libraries, lecture, class and study rooms, laboratories, IT equipment, canteens etc. The libraries are public, so all students can borrow books, tapes, language learning materials, etc. for free.
The main reasons why go to study to Denmark
1. Quality of education - there are great courses offered by Danish institutions that use innovative study methodologies, e.g. project based learning. Several Danish institutions are among the best 200 universities in the world according to different rankings.
2. English based programs – there are many interesting and innovative courses available in Danish institutions that are meant for international students and are taught in English. You don't have to know Danish to go to study to Denmark.
3. State funded education – for students coming from EU/EAA, studying in Denmark is free as Danish government is paying for the studies to attract international students to the country. For NON-EU the tuition fee for one year is usually between 8,000€ and 14,000€ but there are scholarships available.
4. Good student job opportunities – there are good student job opportunities depending on the study location. Students need to work usually 12-15 hours a week to cover all their living costs. Of course, finding a job might be easier in some places than others.
5. International education – students in study groups are usually from different countries and that makes the education really international.
More info about studying in Denmark: "http://www.studyindenmark.dk/" http://www.studyindenmark.dk/
Currency rate: 7,45 DKK = 1 €
Education: Please find this information on the left side of this page.
Living cost in Denmark varies place to place and universities to universities. However, in average the cost of living for international students in Denmark is approximately between 500€ and 800€ per one month. The cost of living in Copenhagen is higher that in other parts of Denmark.
- Living place is in average 250-350 € per month (2500 DK).
- Transportation is around 40-60 € per month (400 DK). Many students prefer bicycles as it is very easy in Denmark to get around by bicycle.
- Food & other costs are in average 200-300 € per month (2000 DK). Compared to other European countries, food and personal care items are expensive in Denmark. To get an idea of the price level, please visit the websites of supermarket chains in Denmark, such as Fotex, Netto, Aldi, Lidl, etc.
5,800 € per year will typically cover accommodation, food and general personal expenses.
Finding a place to live often takes time, so we advise you to contact your Danish education institution for information about accommodation as soon as you have been admitted in case you have not received the information with your admission letter.
The institutions will be able to assist you in finding a place to live. There are several accommodation options:
- room in a hall of residence, price: 240-400 € per month.
- privately rented room in a house or a flat, price: 200-500 € per month.
- privately rented flat - either alone or shared with other students, prices vary considerably.

The old school was restored completely and turned into student housing in 2006.

Most Danish students supplement their income by working alongside their studies as Denmark is relatively expensive country. However, student jobs pay very well. The minimum wage per hour in Denmark is approximately 12 Euro.
EU/EEA nationals apply for the work permit from the Danish authorities upon arrival in Denmark. Finding work may be somewhat difficult if you don't speak Danish, however there are many possible student jobs (cleaning jobs, restaurants and cafes etc). The golden rule is that if you really need and want a job, you will find one. If you have special skills, such as computer programming, it may be easier to find a job.
Jobs can be found through local newspaper ads, through special agencies or through other students who already have a job or who have been studying there for some time. It is not recommended for you to work more than 15 hours per week - otherwise you may neglect your studies. You may work full time during the summer holidays. You should keep in mind to have at least 4 month's money before arrival as it may take time to find a job. If you don't then it's advisable to work for a year and then start your studies.
The Danish Employment Services provide information on living and working conditions and job opportunities for foreigners at: "www.eures.dk." http://www.eures.dk
Another possibility is the website "www.workindenmark.dk" http://www.workindenmark.dk where you can find in-depth information about Denmark, the Danish society as well as the conditions and possibilities for working in Denmark. The site also contains a job database.

Stick it in your ear Franklin... you have me seriously confused with someone who cares what you have to say.
I don't.
"I suggest you resume to"? I suggest that you utilize proper and accepted grammatical rules when posting here. You should resume to common, standard English.
Get lost and don't tell me what to do creep. Ever.
Try to get this through your mildly obsessed skull... while being banned from Factnet may represent the ULTIMATE punishment to you and Smyrna, it means absolutely nothing to me.
Simply leaves me more time for other hobbies... like making voodoo dolls, ant farms and procrastination - three of my favorites.
"but would not stoop so low as to accuse the poster of substance abuse." I also accused her of EATING Little Debbie snack cakes. Thank you for the reality check, and letting me know where you draw the line in the sand in regards to accusation. You have quite a lot of credibility in regards to Christian behavior, people REALLY look up to to know exactly how a TRUE Christian will act, how they think and how they speak. Thank God for you Franklin and your very important internet/forum sheriff ministry.
If it weren't for you, people would go around all willy-nilly accusing people of eating Little Debbie snack cakes, and other heinous crimes of forum conduct that call for... I can't say it... I can't even think it.... BEING BANNED FROM FACTNET! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Get lost, do not address me and do not speak to me vermin. Get born again, and then come back and we'll talk.
Thank you.

There is not a lot that sets auxiliary batteries apart. A few more amps here, a few more USB plugs there, and that's about it.
Digital Treasures, though, has taken the trouble to gussy up the basic battery, putting 13,000 mAh of lithium-ion power into what appears to be a flask.
Called the Power Flask, the case has a flask's distinctive curve, for discreet pocket storage, and leather trim with red stitching. The end caps are chromelike polished aluminum.
The Power Flask, which retails for $90, has two USB ports, one supporting 1 amp charging for phones, and a second supporting 2.5 amp charging for tablets.
You can charge more low-demand devices at a time, though; two phones can be put into the 2.5-amp slot using an included Y cable, and another can be charged from the 1-amp slot for a total of three devices at once. The flask also comes with two 30-pin adapters. If you're using a Lightning connector, you will have to supply your own.
The flask has blue LEDs to indicate the charge level and twin white LEDs on the top that work as a flashlight.

The Pipali Vest is oversized with an extreme graduated hemline. The hemline and low cut armholes have a raw edge to coincide with the overall casual look. The Pipali appliqué panels were inspired by a mixture of tribal and art deco patterns creating a new and modern take on the geometric trend. These panels were draped on the stand to create an oversized shape which is easy to wear, modern and directional. This style features heavy topstitching threads and has an uneven bleach spray to create a rustic, classic AllSaints grungy look.

EAST WHITELAND If the Immaculata women are to make some noise in the Colonial States Athletic Conference basketball race this winter, Mondays 68-59 overtime nail-bitter over Rowan will provide the perfect template.
Without its top scorer and leader, Chrissy Esbensen, the Mighty Macs still found the kind of poise and determination to overcome the adversity and survive their final non-conference game of the season. And first-year starter Sara Smith was the unquestioned hero.
Fading down the stretch of regulation, Immaculata never would have extended the game into overtime if not for a pair of ice-in-the-veins free throws by Smith. The sophomore then added eight more points including four additional pressure-packed freebies to help close out the first win of the New Year and halt a four-game losing skid.
That was huge with no time on the clock, marveled IU head coach Patty Canterino. It was amazing, and were talking about just a sophomore here.
She took her time and thats how she shoots them at practice. She just really stepped up and got the job done.
Trailing 52-50, Smith grabbed an important offensive rebound and was fouled with all zeros on the clock. Standing all alone at the line in a hushed Alumnae Hall, Smith proceeded to bury the first of a one-and-one, with the outcome of the game at stake. The second -- which also came under the same unrelenting pressure also fell cleanly through the hoop.
I felt the pressure and I was nervous, but I wanted to get us into overtime, Smith said. I just wanted to win.
I tried my hardest to block everything out and just do what I do in practice.
Uplifted by Smiths clutch shots, the Mighty Macs dominated the OT, making 5-6 from the field and 6-8 from the line, and ultimately outscoring the Profs 16-7. Smith scored four of her 14 points early in the overtime session, helping Immaculata roll up the first nine in the OT.
They really showed a lot of heart and dug deep, Canterino pointed out. To beat an NJIAC (New Jersey Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) school was a good win for us. Hopefully we can keep getting better.
Esbensen who ranks 10th in scoring (12.3) in the CSAC and leads the team in assists (3.1) missed the game with the flu. In addition, sophomore Allison Zimny was lost for the season after sustaining a knee injury in mid-December.
Without Chrissy, everybody stepped up, and Im sure they were tired at the end because they arent used to playing that much, Canterino explained.
A couple of us talked (Sunday) night about just playing hard and doing what we know we can do, Smith added. It says that we can all step up.
But it wasnt easy. The Mighty Macs got off to a slow start and quickly fell behind 9-2. But just five minutes later, they had seized the lead en route to reeling off a 16-4 run. By halftime, IU had built a 29-23 lead.
Rowan (4-10 overall) gradually cut into the lead down the stretch, and eventually inched ahead when the Macs failed to connect from the field in the final 6:42. But that only set the stage for Smiths big finish.
Allison Murphy came off the bench to score 14 and Mackie Fitzgerald filled in for Esbensen at the point and added 11 points and seven steals. Now 5-8 overall, Immaculata heads into the final dozen CSAC regular season games with a 3-1 mark, and thanks to Smith some momentum.
Immaculata 68, Rowan 59 (OT)
ROWAN Russ 3-5 2-3 8; Krauss 5-10 4-4 14; Molina 7-22 3-4 17; Bonder 2-6 1-3 7; Hill 3-15 1-2 7; Scott 1-5 1-2 3; Govan 0-1 0-0 0; Barilla 1-1 1-1 3. Total 22-65 13-19 59.
IMMACULATA Deegler 2-13 3-4 7; Durkin 2-5 0-0 4; Sciascia 1-7 4-6 6; Fitzgerald 2-4 5-6 11; Smith 4-11 6-6 14; Orgera 1-2 0-0 2; Kinsey 2-5 2-2 6; Murphy 7-11 0-0 14; Merkle 2-4 0-0 4. Totals 23-62 20-24 68.
Halftime: Immaculata 29-23.
Three point goals: Bonder 2, Fitzgerald 2.

Sierra Nevada Forest and Community Initiative
Upcoming Council Meetings:
Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Agenda and location TBA Wednesday, October 23, 2013 The Ridge at Auburn 2020 Golf Course Road Auburn, CA 95602 |
Historically, the Sierra Nevada Region has been challenged when addressing forest management, as myriad interests and perspectives come into play. Moving beyond traditional arguments by shifting focus to mutually agreeable principles will allow the region to emerge as a national leader in collaborative forest management.
The Sierra Nevada Forest and Community Initiative (SNFCI) is a coordinated effort among federal and state agencies, local governments, tribal entities, environmental/conservation organizations and the private sector, to improve the long-term environmental, economic and social well-being of the Sierra Nevada Region. The SNC is fostering collaboration locally and regionally in an effort to support a cohesive, economically viable, and sustainable approach to reducing fire risk, creating jobs, and protecting this priceless resource.
The Sierra Nevada Forest and Community Initiative (SNFCI) is a coordinated effort among federal and state agencies, local governments, tribal entities, environmental/conservation organizations and the private sector, to improve the long-term environmental, economic and social well-being of the Sierra Nevada Region. The Initiative is not intended to supplant or compete with other efforts, but is meant to identify and act upon:
- Opportunities for investment of public and private resources,
- Necessary policies to achieve desired outcomes and
- Processes and actions consistent with the following linked objectives:
- Creating ecologically healthy forests and watersheds, thereby protecting and enhancing habitat and water quality and quantity while reducing the risk of large damaging fires; and
- Creating sustainable local economic activity in the Region through increasing the sustainable production of renewable biomass energy, and a variety of wood products
Successfully achieving these objectives will result in a number of key outcomes for the region and state:
- Protecting water quality and increasing natural water storage in the Sierra, the origin of 65 percent of the state's developed water supply;
- Protecting and enhancing key habitats for a variety of threatened and endangered species;
- Preserving and creating long-term, "good-paying" jobs in Sierra communities;
- Reducing air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from large damaging fires; and
- Maximizing the sequestration of carbon in Sierra Forests.
The SNFCI will also promote, support and assist local efforts aimed at meeting the intent of the Initiative. Specific land management prescriptions, economic development opportunities and other activities are best determined through a collaborative process that develops outcomes consistent with the needs of the local forests and communities. The SNC will work to assist in local efforts designed to address these issues.
The successful implementation of this Initiative will attract additional investment to the Sierra Nevada region, resulting in protection of the state's primary watershed and its many ecological benefits; creation of thousands of sustainable new jobs and more diversified local economies; and increased production of renewable energy in the state.
The Sierra Nevada Conservancy Commitment
The SNC is committed to identify, support and implement actions that will:
- reduce the risk of large damaging fires in our forests and wildlands and in our communities;
- result in ecologically healthy forests and watersheds, protecting habitat and species, water supply and water and air quality, and the long-term sequestration of carbon;
- create ecologically and economically sustainable local jobs and economic activity resulting directly and indirectly from sustainable forest management activities, including but not limited to, biomass energy, biofuels, "value added" wood products, dimensional wood products and the activities necessary to produce these products;
- result in restoration of plant and wildlife habitat stemming from increased resiliency, diversity and species composition post treatment; and
- to identify, support and implement policies, investment and technical support that will assist in achieving these objectives.
The Sierra Nevada Region is critical to the well-being of California and its residents. The Region is the origin of approximately 65 percent of the state's developed water supply, serving municipal, agricultural and industrial needs throughout the state. Nearly three-quarters of all the hydropower produced in California comes from the Sierra high elevation hydropower system, generating roughly 12 percent of all energy produced in the state. The Region also produces up to one-half of the state's annual timber supply. The Sierra Nevada serves as one of the state's leading areas to recreate and visit, with more than 50 million recreation visit days each year.
Nonetheless, the potential for even greater contributions exists. Sierra forests store large amounts of carbon, with these forests providing more carbon sequestration acre for acre than the Amazon rainforests. Through sustainable management, large damaging wildfires can be reduced and carbon sequestration can be increased and protected into the future. Without the appropriate management this carbon "plus" could literally go up in smoke, turning the benefit into a huge liability.
California policy currently calls for 33 percent of its energy to be produced from renewable sources by 2020, with 20 percent of all renewable energy to be generated from biomass resources by 2010. Energy produced from biomass currently provides only 3 percent of the overall in-state energy produced. Estimates indicate that the greatest abundance of potential biomass feedstock in California, up to 41percent, could come from forestry biomass. Clearly the opportunity for a significant contribution of renewable biomass energy - and the creation of jobs for local citizens - exists in the Region, consistent with sustainable forest management.
At the same time, maintaining existing facilities that process traditional dimensional wood products is likewise critical to the long-term sustainability of the Region. Opportunities also exist for production of a variety of wood products from the biomass removed from the forests, including wood pellets (used for heating), post and poles and other specialty wood products. Developing appropriately scaled infrastructure to process the materials removed to restore forest health is essential for the Region to achieve a sustainable economy in forest communities.
As the climate changes, it will become essential that we act to ensure that Sierra watersheds continue to serve as the state's primary source of clean water. The opportunity exists for restoration and management efforts that will assist water managers in meeting ongoing needs. This includes increasing "natural storage" (through meadow restoration as an example), implementing land management that results in maintaining snowpack into the spring and protecting important natural areas from conversion to other uses.
In order to protect existing resources, address potential threats and take advantage of the additional contributions the Sierra makes to the State's energy production and emission reduction goals, a coordinated initiative is needed to focus attention on this region, increase investment, guide policy and measure success. The SNFCI provides the opportunity for a successful effort.
The Initiative
By addressing the objectives described above in a coordinated and integrated approach, long-term environmental, economic and social well-being can be improved in the Sierra. Clearly this effort will require the support of federal and state agencies, local governments, and tribal entities, representatives from the environmental /conservation community, representatives of Fire Safe and watershed organizations and the private sector. Finding areas of agreement on which to focus actions will provide a foundation for ongoing efforts.
The Initiative will have two interrelated aspects:
- Region-wide focus that addresses policy issues, investment needs and relevant science and research; and
- Local collaborative efforts that address actions needed to achieve the desired outcomes at a more local level.
The Initiative focuses on public lands; however it is clearly understood that activities on private lands will have an effect on the effort and must be considered. Given that the federal government is responsible for the management of approximately two-thirds of the Sierra Nevada landscape, substantial federal involvement and investment is needed and appropriate. At the same time, coordination among the various State of California agencies and tribal entities with an interest in the Sierra is essential. Local governments can contribute through local leadership and advocacy, supportive policies and land use planning efforts that are consistent with the Initiative objectives. Many non-governmental organizations and private landowners are currently contributing positively to these objectives and are well-positioned to provide greater assistance.
A number of activities are occurring in the Sierra Nevada Region that are consistent with the intent of this Initiative. The SNC hopes to support and strengthen those efforts including:
- Fire Safe and related efforts designed to protect communities, watersheds and forests;
- watershed restoration efforts aimed at improving riparian conditions, restoring habitat and increasing natural storage of water; and
- ecological restoration of forests.
In order to successfully implement this initiative, the SNC will provide leadership, coordination, monitoring and reporting on its success. A SNFCI resolution has been developed for the purpose of allowing governmental entities, businesses and organizations that share these strategic objectives to participate. A SNFCI Coordinating Council will be created consisting of federal and state agencies, local governments, tribal entities, representatives from the environmental/conservation community and the private sector. The first charge of the Council will be the creation of an implementation plan for the purpose of guiding and monitoring progress over time. The Plan will establish measurable outcomes for the Initiative and identify a process for monitoring success. By identifying needs and opportunities, the Plan will assist in strategic investment in the Region

Ironfish delights with a variety of tasty catches
I was overjoyed to head back for another meal at Ironfish by Pescados, considered the Best New Restaurant in 2011 by both the Richmond Times Dispatch and Richmond Magazine. I agree whole-heartedly with their ratings. Since I first visited the restaurant for my birthday in January, I was waiting for the perfect special occasion to return.

PUNCH SHOTS: Hamels for farmhands not a bad option
Each time Cole Hamels pitches seven or eight innings, like Wednesday, his stock rises.
If you're hoping the organization re-signs the 2008 World Series MVP to an extension before he hits free agency, you're probably out of luck. The deal would have transpired behind closed doors in Clearwater.
All Hamels has to do is put up Hamels-like numbers and avoid serious injury to cash in. Big. He doesn't have to be as good as last season to obtain a lucrative, six-figure contract from somebody. There have been rumors the Dodgers' new ownership team is ready to empty its wallet come November.
Hamels is the best player scheduled to become a free agent after this season. It wouldn't be a surprise that he becomes the highest-paid pitcher in the game.
The Phillies (9-10) are five games out of first place. It's too early to scoreboard watch, but if by late-June the Phillies still are toiling in mediocrity, Ruben Amaro Jr. has a decision to make. Trading Hamels should bring back three or four high-ceiling prospects. If they let him walk in the offseason, Hamels will garner Type A-player compensation from the signing team (two draft picks, including a first-rounder).
For the future success of the Phils, perhaps saving money and restocking a depleted farm system isn't a bad idea.

I've managed and started many businesses, and continue to work in a business advisory role today. I've recently initiated the closing of my fourth start-up (mostly due to lack of time, but there were other factors as well), and am looking to go 'off the grid' for a while.
I'm going to be taking up a personal interest project of working on an online game I've designed for fun. Having had a few failed gaming start-up attempts due to mismanagement of other people, I plan to do this all on my own (again, for fun and the learning experience).
My question is, at what point (if any) in the process of developing a working game, should I start looking at wrapping a business model around it? Theoretically, if I enjoy the project and I'm good at it, I could do most of it on my own. Of course, running a business is another beast altogether, and I doubt I could continue to maintain my interests and operate a privately run business at the same time (especially if one is based on the other).

Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright crimson color. Complex brown spices and a slight smokiness are sweetened by ripe dark fruit that enlivens the aroma and palate. The beautifully balanced texture and soft, supple tannins lead on to a soft finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes In 2011, the blend is 27% Sierra Mar, 25% Rosellas, 18% Pisoni, 18% Soberanes and 12% Garys. Adam Lee describes 2011 as the coldest vintage he has ever seen. Nevertheless, the 2011 Pinots are very pretty with dark red cherries, flowers and menthol wrap around the finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Barnett Tina Marie wine maker notes "Aromas of black cherry and white pepper spice pop out of the glass. More minerality, gravel and flint, is apparent on the nose this year. The palate is more viscous and flavors of Asian spice and fresh plum come through, complemented by rhubarb pie and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Deep ruby red color. Aromas of wild berries, savory dried herbs, and subtle earthiness lift elegantly from the glass. On the palate, flavors of Bing cherry, rhubarb, and pomegranate are framed by fine-grained tannins, earthy minerality, and bright acidity. This wine has an enduring fresh finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Pinot Noir is a juicy, silky wine laced with expressive dark red fruit, flowers and spices. Higher-toned hints of mint and rose petals add lift and freshness throughout. This is an especially gracious, refined Pinot from LAngevin and proprietors Alan Peirson and Robbie Meyer. I love the..

Stephanie and I have been planning this shoot for a while, but this weekend we finally got to this shoot, though it was a bit impulsive. Saturday evening I asked Stephanie if she was keen to do the gipsy / bohem-inspired fashion shoot in near future and she answered that Natalia, her older sister was doing a stylist assignment at school (Norsk Fotofagskole) with just the theme we had been planning for. Though the shoot had to be on Sunday because the assignment was due this week. Natalia was glad to hear that I could do the shoot for her.
The first location Natalia had planned was around the rural area of Moholt, but I didn't feel that it add the right atmosphere for the shots I had in mind. Instead thought back to the first years when I first moved to town. I lived at Voll Studentby a student village, not far from the model and regularly went for walks in the area. and remebered one of the trails in the area with some vacancy, but was still open enough for the right mood I had pictured. They both agreed that we should try my location. After 45 minutes of shooting, the clouds drifting in and changed the light we worked with and we were kind of done with four costumes.
Below are some of my shots with a Minolta Dynax 7 (analogue camera) from 2004. At that time I mostly shot film and the cheapest way to get the shot digitalized was with a DIY contraption consisting of a black tube with home made film dias. The first photo is of Kjetil Høiby scanned with his film scanner, and the two following was shot with my DIY contraption.

Some 60 People Attend 'Conversation' on Public Transportation's Future
Some offer complaints, kudos and ideas.
Remember the hue and cry early this year when the T proposed to cut road and rail service or raise rates for riders? Fares went up. So did ridership, across public transportation modes, according to Jonathan Davis, acting general manager and rail and transit administrator of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which is part of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). What do residents of the Commonwealth want in their public transportation system statewide? MassDOT, which oversees public transportation on roads, rails and tarmacs here, held a meeting at the McGlynn Middle School Tuesday night, part of a series of "conversations" statewide, to hear ideas about the transportation system people want and what the …

My neighbor was nails, he was in a car accident where his truck rolled many times without a seatbelt. He got out to smoke a cigarrette, and went and stood by the drunk man that hit him, communicating, with the man missing bodily parts and expelling massive quantities of fluid. Only someone nails would endure such an occurance unscathed. |

Sound Off for Sunday, Jan. 27
I noticed that Pennsylvania has a "Choose Life" license plate. I was wondering if they have a "Pro-Choice" license plate also, that would only be fair.
The idiots that are suing Subway about their sandwiches should really get a life and find something better to do with their time. The term foot long is simply the term for the sandwich and describes its rough size. Who cares if it's 11 inches, 11½ inches, or 12 inches? These guys are ridiculous. They're tying up the court systems because they're only looking for money.
Now Obama wants to annihilate the Republican Party and Republicans. Nice talk from our president. There are no red states and there aren't any blue states that he can't annihilate. Suppose I was to say I wanted to annihilate the people of Chester. How would that sound? Would that be a good idea? Of course it wouldn't be! They'd call that ethnic intimidation. Why is it OK for Obama to say that he wants to annihilate the GOP?
Due to TV, radio and newspapers, union members are made out to be nothing but a bunch of bullies and monsters, which is not the truth. Unions came about in the United States of America due to the mistreatment of immigrants that came here from areas like Ireland and others parts of the world, who were mistreated by the wealthy people who ran this country at that time. At one point or another they came together and stood up for their rights and they formed unions. I'll admit that there are some good and some bad union organizations and I've had my share of both.
UNION SUPPORTER Continued...
This is to the person that hit and killed our dog Harley on Garnet Line Road Thursday night and didn't stop. Just know that you devastated two small children and three families. I hope you read this and sleep well when you do.
I love the nurse who called Sound Off urging everyone to get a flu shot. Well I've never gotten a flu shot and I never will. Speaking of nurses and hospitals, doctors don't cure anything anyway. They just give you a pill for every aliment that you have. Another scam by the pharmaceutical companies.
The NRA has stated a simple fact in its TV ad -- armed personnel (Secret Service) protects the children of the president in their schools and it works. So why do many Democrats claim it won't work in other schools? Hire trained personnel (former police and secret service) to patrol the schools. Giving teachers guns won't help because they would have to wear it all the time or it could be stolen, and they have enough responsibility with educating the children. Congress puts a lot of "pork" in their bills for projects for their friends, now it's time to give some of that meat for the protection of children.
A recent caller chided another Sound Off caller saying, "The government does not pay for abortions." He is the one who needs to read more. Planned Parenthood launders abortions fees under the code word "health services." Close examination of their files reveals that most of these functions are outsourced to other medical organizations, thus fraying the money for abominable abortions. Continued...
"Romney forever" the fact that Beyoncé might have lip-synced the National Anthem is called for impeachment according to you. I think you should check yourself in for a nice long rest at the nearest mental institution.
I just recently attended the Interboro School District School board meeting and was very concerned that a resident brought up the issue that a certain board member is possibly not living in the district. I know for a fact that they weren't for some time and wonder if Mr. Razzi was telling the truth saying, "Mr. Murphy absolutely lives in the district." I think someone is lying here. If Mr. Murphy has nothing to hide then he should speak for himself.
