My best friend, Ryan, lives in Menstrie which is not that far from Stirling and every year, I go up to stay with him at least once. As Menstrie is a small village, we don't spend much time there and instead venture into Stirling to do things. The first time I went up to see Ryan, I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I didn't really know what size the city was or what there would be to do there. Luckily, I was shown that there is a lot to do even though it isn't massive.
The first thing most girls want to know about when visiting somewhere new is the shopping. Stirling has a pretty decent shopping centre which is situated less than 5 minutes away from the train station and access right next to the bus station. Thistles shopping centre has more than 90 shops and you can pretty much find everything you could possibly need there. Inside is a big Marks and Spenser which also has a supermarket so you can clothes and food shop at the same time. I was happy to see that there was a lot of clothes shops for girls as well as a pretty big branch of Waterstones. I couldn't have been happier shopping here.
As soon as I arrive in Stirling, we always go out for some lunch considering I have usually been travelling for at least 5 hours and am starving by this time. Stirling has plenty of choice for everyone in regards to food and restaurants. Round the corner from the train station is a McDonalds if you want a cheap and easy option or if you need to rush before getting a bus somewhere. There are also plenty of pubs within walking distance from the train station so again, you can find somewhere pretty reliable for a cheap and easy meal. Ryan and I tend to stick to pubs because we know what we're getting and it is always easy to pick somewhere. However, there are also some really nice little cafes. A couple of years back we went to a cafe near Thistles and had sandwiches and jacket potatoes. The prices here were extremely reasonable and I would definitely have gone there again but we couldn't remember exactly where it is.
We have also been to a few different fast food takeaways here after nights out but honestly, I was too drunk to remember where they were. I have always enjoyed the food though. Stirling is home to a pretty large university so is very much a student city in some ways. Because of this, there are plenty of bars and a couple of clubs in the city centre. I wasn't really expecting a good night out here for some reason but it turned out to be one of the best I had in a long time. People in Stirling seemed to be extremely friendly, unlike where I'm from, and even though they were really drunk, there was no trouble. Even just going outside for a cigarette meant talking to random people about random things and generally just getting to know people. I had never experienced something like this before on a night out and I was quite pleasantly surprised by it.
I don't only like eating and shopping though in Stirling. There is plenty to do for tourists. First off is the Wallace Monument which commemorates Sir William Wallace. The walk up to the monument is a bit of a trek in itself before you even get to see anything as there are 246 steps on a spiral to walk up. Before I even got to the monument, I was bored of the walking and wanted to go back down but I persevered and carried on going. Although we didn't pay to go inside the attraction, it was quite impressive to see just from the outside and to take in a piece of history. A few years ago, there was also a statue at the monument which was carved to look like Mel Gibson in Braveheart but due to controversy and vandalism, it was removed.
Next is Stirling Castle, one of the largest and most important castles in Scotland. On top of yet again, another hill, is a very impressive and large castle which took my breath away a little bit at first sight. The exterior and grounds of the castle are a sight to see in themselves without seeing anything inside. I would have been more than happy to have just walked around the grounds and to take in the beautiful architecture of the building. In order to make the most of this trip, we paid for the guided tour of the castle instead of being left to explore on our own and it really made a massive difference. The tour guides at the castle certainly know what they're talking about and really make the castle come to life, rather than looking around at things I didn't understand.
Stirling is also quite famous because of it's supposed hauntings. Stirling Castle is said to be haunted by a servant of Mary Queen of Scots. A ghost walk is available during the months of July and August and around Halloween which starts from the Old Jail and they start at 8pm, costing £6 for adults. I loved doing this activity as ghosts etc are something that have always interested me and the walk was fantastic. The guide made it as creepy as possible, pointing out anywhere that there has been supposed sightings of ghosts and explaining what had been seen and when. For the price, even though the walk is only 40 minutes long, it is an amazing thing to go and do and is also very interesting.
Even though I have been going to Stirling for a good few years now, there is still so much more for me to do and see there and I can't wait to go again!
Stirling is a beautiful city. It's a very historic town and also a University town and due to both these reasons it has a fantastic atmosphere.
The reason most people end up in Stirling is no doubt to visit the historic Striling Castle - home and fortress to many of Scotland''s kings and queens. There are also many other historic attractions in the area such as Bannockburn (battleground) and the Wallace Monument - both of these can be seen from the Castle.
As you wander round the city you will see many other fine old buildings. Stirling is also an excellent shopping destination with a huge shopping centre (with just about every shop you could imagine!) and high street and a particularly large branch of Debenhams. There are also a large selection of lovely restaurants in the town centre and an even larger selection of pubs (due in large part to the student population!).
There is a good selection of accommodation in the area so if you're planning on staying for a while you should find it quite easy to find a room.
A lovely city you''ll want to visit again and again
Last week I got up really early and it was a beautiful day with the sun rays lighting up the room I was sitting in and so I thought that maybe I should go somewhere. The only thing is it couldn't be somewhere too far away because by the time I got there I would have to think of the drive home so I got out a map of Scotland and thought of towns I had not yet visited. I looked at Falkirk and at first this was somewhere I wanted to go but then I thought of Stirling. I went on a website looked at everything I could visit all tourist attractions I then took my sunglasses, camera and CD's for the car and went. From Edinburgh it only took around 40 mnutes to get there and I printed my map off the AA website because they have a route planner option so you can get directions to where you want to go but I changed the route a little. When I was getting nearer to Stirling it was well sign posted and so I followed a lot of the signs but I then saw the Wallace monument standing up high above the town so I guessed I may as well head there first since it was on my list of places to visit and other attractions I planned on visiting were nearby. So I didn't follow signs to Stirling for the town centre and it was mostly countryside where I was but there was also the Mill Trail nearby I wanted to see. I didn't realise how near Stirling University was to the Wallace Monument, right accross from it which is out of the way of town. When I got to the car park of the Wallace Monument I saw it was very busy and I saw a space but deicded to drive around a little the car park was small but then I got a space quickly. When I got there I saw some tourists parking and they hit the back of somone's car really badly leaving a huge dent in the back and then they went away, I couldn't believe it so I decded to make my journey quick I would hate to come back and find my car had been hit by someone who couldn't park right. The weather w
as very hot and I went inside to the shop and information to ask about what part was free since I had phoned earlier. They told me it was to see the monument at the top so if you want to visit where comfortable shoes it's a long way up this spiraling road but there is an alternative route, take the bus. I never found out if it was free or not but I think it was for those who had paid to go inside the monument at the top once you get there. It seemed like forever but finally I saw the monument and there are stairs halfway up the route. Once there it was a beautiful view of Stirling and I had to take some pictures, some people were sunbathing and others resting. When there you could go inside the moument and even higher but I had seen enough by this point, I took pictures of the monument and then walked back down, I got into my car and headed off to the Mill Trail. It's quite a nice drive, lots of scenery and tea rooms that I had no time to visit but would next time. When I got to the mill trail I parked outside it's in a main street if thatis even what you would call it in a small village and then I walked inside. This was at first very small and it was about 4 miles between the attractions but it was another free attraction which I was looking for, who says you need money to enjoy the tourist attractions. On the right of the Mill Trail there is a shop of woollen items on sale but I didn't buy and on the left is the museum, well information. There is examples of people standing there, statues and then there are the machines that weaved the wool to make clothes back then, they have changed. There is lots to read on the walls and even though it is small, it's enough. There is a small cinema inside the dome in the middle. There are comfortable seats and a screen which is all very nice and when the film finishes if you have missed any then you press the red button and begin the presentation again. It was busy at first when
I went in but then everyone left. There are some lovely things to buy here I got lots of nice fod made in Stirling and there were lots of lvoely Thistly souvenirs and soft toys but I didn't want to get carried away with the merchandise so I quickly left after purchasing what I needed. After this I then decided to follow on the signs for the Designer Outlet. This was fantastic at Tillicoultry I had always heard it advertised on the radio and television and it was nice to finally get to visit it. There were lots of names including the Nike outlet which I visited and they had the trainers I wanted but I didn't have enough which made me get really annoyed so I left. I then saw shops like Pilot and Playtex and then my heaven Thorntons. I love Thorntons and I had an outlet at Freeport another outlet near Edinburgh but it closed so I was happy to find another I can visit regularly now. I obviously made sure I had enough money for a box of chocoaltes which I have already finished. After this it was getting very late and there were some shops I wanted to visit in the centre before I left so I rushed there and didn't know where to go so being a Sunday I parked anywhere and went. I saw the shop I wanted to buy from so i ran in because the shutters were going down, it was 5pm. I made it in but I have never had to find clothes I wanted so quickly in my life. I took the right sized and in the middle of the shop had to try clothes on over my clothes I felt so undignified. When I got home they all fit perfectly so for a 3 minute shopping spree it was a success! I love buying new clothes and they are fantastic but enough about that. The town centre is great lots of hotels and although it's small sometimes this gives a icr atmosphere a lot of good shops in this small place which again I could vsit maybe when they are actually open another time. I decided since everything was closed I should go home, I took my bags and everything el
se I had bought and follow he signs for the way home. It didn't take too long and when I got back toEdinburgh it was no surprise that it had been miserable and it was raining so it was nice for once to spend Easter with the sunshine. It has never been sunny on Easter for me for ages so it was a great day out and I will go back.
Yes, Stirling is full of history from the era when the Braveheart film starring Mel Gibson was set. There is the Wallace monument, Stirling Castle, The Bannockburn heritage site etc. But the focus of this review will be the after-dark attrations in Stirling. Where do you go if you are looking for a little entertaiment? Having lived near Stirling for almost 10 years, I have experienced pretty much everything it has to offer. If you are looking for good old-fashioned pubs then you really are spoiled for choice. Around the centre of town there is O'Neills which has a great atmosphere, frequent live music and friendly staff. This is a good place to start a night out. You could also try the Hogs Head, slap bang in the middle of Stirling, which has a good selection of ales and gets a good atmosphere going in the early part of the evening. If you venture up towards the castle, you will locate a good quiet pub - Whistlebinkies. Here you will find a well-kept place to enjoy a few pints, order some food and play a few tunes on the duke box. As the night goes on and you get looking for some more lively hangouts then you could try Gingers in the centre of town. This place serves booze at a reasonable price and is quite busy, especially on Friday/ Saturday nights. I also recommend All That Jazz which is another busy joint just down the road and is popular with young folks. If you are looking for a pub/club atmosphere then there is the yard which is situated on the walk up towards the castle. It has a small dance floor, is free to get in and is very lively on weekends and quite lively during the week. It plays all sorts of cheesy dance music and again is popular with youngsters. For clubs, you are spoiled for choice with a whopping 2 to take your pick from. There is the Fubar which I have not been to so cant comment and the Inigma club, which can be a little rough but plays some good dance music and is a g
reat place to end your night, with the price to get in about £5. So there you have it, my choice of pubs and clubs to frequent if you fancy going out for a large one after you have taken in the sites of this lovely, historical town.
Why I love Stirling Stirling is situated in the heart of Scotland, in the central belt. A historic town (that has recently received CITY status) with lots to offer. Historically it was a merchant town, a Royal Burgh and for the a time the Capital of Scotland. Today it is best known for its connection with William Wallace. (Although I disapprove with the statue that was commissioned in the last few years of William Wallace at the momument with Mel Gibson's face!!!) Tourist attractions include the Castle - which has recently completed years of restoration on the Grand hall. The limestone hall can be seen for miles around and stands out from the rest of the castle that has been "weathered" by industrialisation. Other attractions include Cambuskenneth Abbey, the Wallace Momument, Stirling Bridge and the Bannockburn Heritage centre. Did You know? During worrld War 2 the Germans used to identify Stirling by the number of Clocks & Steeples it has. They could then judge how far away Grangemouth & Glasgow were. Stirling is not just rich in history but it is also rich in scenery. The Ochil hills are a small range of hills about two miles out of the town. So if you like to be able to relax in the country and get away from it all, then you have that option. The University campus is also situated in some beautiful scenery, (its actually in Bridge of Allan) which includes a man made loch and is now home to a sports institute.There is now a pool that has an adjustable depth. On the other hand, if town life doesn't suit you, Stirling is about an hour away from both Glasgow & Edinburgh. Stirling has a multitude of hotels and good guest houses, so it is ideal for those who enjoy a short break. For those of you who like going out for a meal or a drink, there are a multitude of good pubs and restaurants to choose from. The pubs I like most is O' Neills - the Irish bar, Hogshead and the Portcullis. (The Portcullis
has also been the starting point for the Ghost Walks in the tourist seas on - if you are into that kind of thing. Personally I'm don't, but it is a nice pub with a friendly atmosphere, Real fire and resident pet dog.) They all tend to be fairly busy pubs but well worth the visit. The Portcullis is up at the Castle and a bit of a walk up a hill but it has a nice wee beer garden. O'Neill's is quite lively and tends to have lots of students. But it also has live bands from time to time and good offers. The Hogshead has some good ale with lots of obscure brands that a worth sampling. Good places to eat are The River House - A bit out of the way but a lovely setting It is on the ring road but has a man made water feature. Others include Papa Joe's - they serve a mix of food but tend to be mexican with lovely desserts - like oreo specials. Smiling jacks is another mexican place, but is very small almost cafe like so book in advance. ... I forgot to mention that Delight Kebab do excellent kebab's, curries, potatoes and pizza's (with lots of topping). It's just up from O'Neills. If you go say hello to Chico the owner!! There is also the Pirnhall, which is a brewers Fayre place. If you want a bit of class (if you pardon my pun) you can always go to Scholars Bar, which is part of the old high school. This is now the Stirling Highland hotel the only 4 star hotel in Stirling. It is lovely. So why do I love Stirling - There is plenty of choice. Town, country or city, you will not have to travel far.

Governor Patrick isn't just proposing to raise more money for transportation and education. In seeking a major income-tax hike, a much lower sales tax, and the elimination of a host of deductions, he's also looking to perform major surgery on the state's revenue system. Patrick's tax plan reflects some important principles that the Legislature should also observe, most notably the need to spread the burden of taxation fairly. Yet in their quest to bring in more revenue for real needs and strategic investments, the Legislature should recognize that a complicated tax structure can only be remade so quickly. A simpler mix of tax reforms, with a smaller hike in the income tax, a modest increase in the gas tax, and no change to the sales tax, would still meet the Commonwealth's needs.
Patrick's proposal couples a hike in the state income tax, from 5.25 percent to 6.25 percent, with a reduction in the sales tax, from 6.25 percent to 4.5 percent. It would also raise the personal exemption for all tax filers while eliminating a raft of sales, income, and corporate tax deductions. The result, Patrick says, would be a system in which lower-income workers face less of a burden, while those with higher incomes pay a greater share.

Road Closure
Please be aware that part of the public area loop has been closed until further notice as the park starts preparatory efforts for this summer's paving project on the Picnic Area Road.
Lemon House
Some time between the years 1830 and 1832, Samuel Lemon built a substantial stone house east of the summit of the Allegheny Mountains. He and his family lived in the Lemon House from 1834 to 1847 and operated a tavern serving passengers of the newly built "Allegheny Portage Railroad" as well as the wayfarers of the "Northern Turnpike." After Samuel's death in 1867 the ownership of the home passed to his sons, then eventually out of the family in 1907. The house passed through various owners and was kept in different stages of repair until acquired by the National Park Service in 1966. The Lemon House was the park visitor center and main building until the recent building of a new visitor center complex in 1992.
The Lemon House has reopened as of May 10, 1997. A major restoration project was completed restoring the house to its 1840s appearance. While it is the original house on its original location, there is a great scarcity of information available about the home. Plans or contracts for building the house remain elusive. Documentary evidence is lacking, even as to the exact year the house was built. Much of the restoration was founded on archeology work, period artwork, and documentation of other 19th century taverns in the local area.
Physical evidence in the form of pottery shards and other discards was found in a diligent search of the adjacent grounds. Years of past renovations while the home was privately owned made some details difficult to discern. Out buildings, including the privy or necessary house, which were certain to have existed in the 1840s were not located. Investigations, centered on specific features that were common to taverns, included searches for: bake ovens, fences, ice house, barn and animal related outbuildings, and the location of Samuel Lemon's original log tavern along the turnpike road route. The countless changes made to the area prevented discovery of many of these features. Some past tenants of the home made major landscaping and structural changes to the house, and even the National Park Service excavations of the 1970s were done before an interest in evaluating the grounds was voiced.
Did You Know?
In 1824 an all-water route through the Allegheny Mountains was proposed. A 4 mile tunnel "like a well dug horizontially" would be needed, along with ventilation shafts and support features. A portage over the mountains was built instead.

2008-09: 45-28-9 (4th in the East – Won Stanley Cup)
TSN Pre-Season Power Ranking: 1st
General Manager: Ray Shero (4th Season)
Head Coach: Dan Byslma (2nd Season)
What They Did In The Off-season:
While the Penguins were celebrating their third Stanley Cup title in franchise history, they did find some time to fine tune their roster.
Alex Goligoski, Bill Guerin, Ruslan Fedotenko and Craig Adams all agreed to terms and stayed with the team. The Penguins also took a dip in the free agent pool, acquiring Brent Johnson to back up Marc-Andre Fleury, signing Mike Rupp away from the Devils and bringing in Jay McKee and Martin Skoula for defensive depth.
On the outs was Rob Scuderi, who cashed in on his impressive playoff performance by signing with the Kings. Hal Gill followed him out the door to a new two-year deal with the Habs, Petr Sykora was allowed to leave and was granted a tryout with the Minnesota Wild, while Miroslav Satan appears all out of options (on this side of the Atlantic, anyway).
Biggest Issue facing the team:
While winning the Stanley Cup is extremely difficult, recent history has shown that defending the title can be next to impossible. Only one team has repeated as champion in the past decade, with the Detroit Red Wings winning in 1996-97 and again in 1997-98. The Penguins will have a big target on their back every time they enter an opposing building, as every team in the league will be looking to upstage the champs.
Along the same lines, the Penguins are still a very young team that was able to capture the title seemingly ahead of schedule. And once you have reached the top, the motivation to climb the mountain isn't always there right away. There is always a Stanley Cup hangover of some sort and it wouldn't be terribly surprising to see the Penguins look a little sluggish out of the gate.
On the other side of the coin, the team features the most potent scoring combo in the league in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The twin superstars can take turns carrying the team on their backs on any given night. They are also two very competitive and driven players who won't simply rest on their laurels because they own a single Cup ring.
More than perhaps any other player, Crosby understands his position not only in the modern game but in the history of the league. Sid the Kid does not want to simply be considered the best player of his generation - he wants to be thought of as one of the top players of all-time and realizes that the best way to do this is to lead his team to multiple championships.
Malkin also appears to be driven by his rivalry with fellow Russian superstar Alex Ovechkin. While the media may have over-hyped the feud between the two players, Malkin undoubtedly measures himself against Ovechkin. Ovie may have the Hart and the Rocket Richard Trophy, but Geno holds the Cup, the Art Ross and the Conn Smythe Trophy, something no other Russian player has ever accomplished.
Crosby and Malkin may snag most of the headlines, but the Penguins are far from a two-man team. Bill Guerin, Chris Kunitz and Maxime Talbot add secondary scoring, while defensive specialists Jordan Staal, Craig Adams and the newly-acquired Rupp will form a formidable shutdown combo with agitator Matt Cooke.
The defensive unit is a great mixture of bangers (McKee, Mark Eaton and Brooks Orpik) and puck movers (Sergei Gonchar, Kris Letang and Alex Goligoski). And they have a young goaltender in Marc-Andre Fleury who has overcome questions about his ability to win big games.
Another positive is that the team enters the season with Dan Byslma at the helm from the get go. The Penguins looked sluggish out of the gate last season and were in danger of missing the playoffs before Byslma replaced Michel Therrien behind the bench. The man they call Disco Dan quickly lightened the mood in the dressing room and allowed his creative players to do what they do best - play attractive hockey. The team rode that wave of positivity all the way to back to the Stanley Cup final, where they avenged their loss to the Red Wings just year before.
In short, the Penguins have everything a team needs to make a genuine Cup run once again. The only thing standing in their way may be their own complacency.
Player to watch:
Is this the year that Jordan Staal builds upon his impressive rookie campaign and seizes the mantle as the game's best two-way player? It's a question that both management and fans would love to know the answer to.
After leading the league in shorthanded goals in his freshman year, Staal appeared on the verge of greatness. He had everything that you look for in a player: the size, the speed, the intelligence and scoring touch along with some phenomenal hockey genes; but he took a step backwards in terms of his development in his sophomore campaign.
After scoring 29 times as a rookie, Staal found the back of the net only 12 times in his second season and saw his plus/minus rating fall from plus-16 to minus-5. Last season he returned to form, firing home 22 goals. But where he really excelled was in the playoffs, as he was asked to shadow the opposing team's top line every night. He was rewarded for his hard work by joining brothers Eric and Marc at Canadian Olympic orientation camp.
While Staal remains a long shot to represent his country at the Vancouver Games, the seed has been planted for the opportunity to become one of the game's elite two-way threats. The Penguins rewarded him for that potential by signing him to a four-year deal in January. And the time is now for Staal to reward the team for their loyalty.
Staal has shown in the past that he has a real nose for the net to go along with his strong defensive conscience. He bears all the markings of a perennial Selke trophy contender. This season should be the start of something big for him.
Scott Cullen's Fantasy Take:
The defending Stanley-Cup-champion Pittsburgh Penguins have some of the premier players when it comes to fantasy hockey, with supreme individual talents that also lift the production of those around them.
Last year's league-leading scorer, Evgeni Malkin, has gone over 100 points, with a double-digit plus rating in each of the last two seasons and recorded at least 40 power play points in each of his three years in the NHL. In virtually every league, Malkin will be one of the top three selections.

This list is far from being definitive or comprehensive or objective, but I have been asking around and here is the first in a series dedicated to the worst holiday songs ever.
Read more
Ever had a CD you wanted to buy just because of one track you liked? As an avid music-a-holic, it's hard to want to pay $17.99 for a single song. Don't make this decision and waste your money. Thanks to your local Mid- Continent branch, we stay up to date with media releases - helping your budget and musical taste.
I am almost positive that this is the only holiday parody song featuring the Cleveland Browns. The song features twelve unique references to the Browns team of 1980. That year, the Browns gained the nickname the Kardiac Kids due to their aptitude for late game heroics and meltdowns. It clocks in at just over four minutes.
The day after Halloween, Christmas music begins to saturate the air waves. Some folks say, that's too early to start playing Christmas music. Others think, there's never a good time for Christmas music. In the spirit of Scrooge, I asked my coworkers to name their least favorite Christmas songs. Here are some of their responses:
It is telling that no dog ever took credit for this song. No Doberman or Australian Shepherd has ever come forward.
Nothing says Happy Holidays like a survey. What are your favorite holiday movies and music?
Did you know MCPL has music CDs? I love a variety of music styles, and the library has a great selection.
Believe it or not, people have been pondering this question for almost 50 years now. And what's amazing, the debate still rages on.
Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. So don't cheat your sweetheart out of a special day by waiting until the last minute to make plans.
Need some romantic music for the car ride or at your candlelit dinner? We have lots of CDs to choose from! Be an early-bird and choose what you want so you don't miss out! Plus, if you check them out now they will not be due until after Valentine's Day.

In 1992, the state government of Alabama established the Forever Wild Land Trust, which enabled the state to acquire and protect selected wildlands with special recreational, scientific, educational, and natural value. Each tract obtained under the program is evaluated for its particular attributes and managed appropriately according to a primary designation as a natural preserve, parkland, wildlife management area, or special recreational area. As of 2009, the program has acquired 74 tracts of wildlands and water areas, 72 of which are open to the public. These properties represent an array of natural features in various parts of the state, ranging from the program's first acquisition—209 acres of scenic, mountainous bald eagle habitat adjacent to Guntersville State Park in northern Alabama—to a more recent acquisition that brought the state's holdings of pristine wetland habitat in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta to 47,000 acres.
Forever Wild is the product of the most significant piece of environmental legislation in Alabama history. The bill gained legislative approval with the support of Republican governor Guy Hunt and his appointed commissioner of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR), James D. Martin. Alabama voters approved the statewide referendum establishing the program with 84 percent of the vote, a margin among the highest ever recorded in the United States for similar environmental legislation. Most significantly, the overwhelming support for Forever Wild evidenced strong public sentiment for the need to protect important aspects of Alabama's natural heritage.
Forever Wild was the culmination of several decades of work by Alabamians interested in wildland conservation. As early as the 1970s, environmental activists worked to encourage the creation of a state land-acquisition program. Maggie Foster, a member of the Alabama Conservancy, sought assistance from national organizations such as the Nature Conservancy in an attempt to spark state interest in a collaborative land-acquisition program. In 1984, a coalition of educators and scientists launched the Alabama Natural Diversity Inventory (ANDI), with support from the Nature Conservancy and the University of Alabama, which aimed to develop an inventory database of Alabama's natural diversity information for Alabama. The affiliated Alabama Natural Resources Advisory Council, a statewide organization of environmentally knowledgeable leaders from business, government, and citizen groups, prepared a 1984 report entitled "Natural Heritage Protection in Alabama: A Summary Analysis of Needs and Possible Corrective Strategies," which laid the foundation for a land-acquisition program for Alabama.
ANDI was terminated in 1985, and the Nature Conservancy subsequently pursued a smaller partnership with a group of biologists at Huntingdon College in Montgomery. That same year, ANDI project coordinator and "Discovering Alabama" host Doug Phillips moved to Troy University, where he became director of the Center for Environmental Research and Service (CERS). For the remainder of the 1980s, CERS continued the mission envisioned by ANDI, issuing reports on potential wildland-acquisition programs and promoting appreciation of Alabama's natural environment through the "Discovering Alabama" series. In 1990, the state legislature voted on a land acquisition bill promoted by environmental activists, but it failed to receive the necessary support.
That same year, Gov. Guy Hunt won reelection and appointed James D. Martin as commissioner of conservation. Martin was an enthusiastic supporter of Alabama's wild places and placed official emphasis on protecting the state's natural heritage. Recognizing the growing public support for protecting Alabama's wildlands, Martin convinced Hunt to create a committee charged with exploring the feasibility of a state land-acquisition program. Martin filled the Forever Wild Committee with stakeholder representatives from business, government, and citizen groups, as well as the scientific community, education, private landowners, and recreational and sporting enthusiast groups.
Martin also asked Jim Griggs, the director of ADCNR's State Lands Division, to oversee the activities of the Forever Wild Committee, and he arranged for Phillips to serve as facilitator for the committee meetings. Over a period of nine months, the committee met in a planned sequence of facilitated sessions that worked through various competing interests and barriers to bring about broad consensus support. The result, in the summer of 1992, was the Alabama Forever Wild Land Trust Bill, sponsored in the Alabama legislature by the speaker pro tem of the House, Jim Campbell, and by Sen. Doug Ghee. This bill provided for the establishment, operation, and funding of the proposed Forever Wild Land Acquisition Program following voter approval via a statewide referendum.
The resounding voter affirmation for Forever Wild is attributed in part to intensive citizen education efforts in the months preceding the referendum, but the program's adoption also resulted from the program's economical design. Especially pleasing to Alabamians, Forever Wild required no new taxes. The program is funded with a portion of the interest earned by the Alabama Trust Fund, a special fund created with windfall money paid to the state from offshore natural gas leases. Furthermore, use of state funds by the program is bound by stringent fiscal guidelines. Program costs drawn from the Alabama Trust Fund are restricted to a cap of $15 million annually, and the Forever Wild legislation includes a sunset provision limiting the program to 20 years. In 2013, any remaining funds from the program will go to the general coffers of the state, after a special stewardship fund is secured for the long-term management of Forever Wild lands.
In addition, Forever Wild has no power to condemn or appropriate lands. Lands acquired by the program may come only through purchases or donations. Tracts nominated for possible acquisition by Forever Wild are evaluated for suitability according to such criteria as size, location, and physiographic characteristics, biological diversity and presence of critical species or special habitats, and landowner receptiveness to the nomination.
Forever Wild is administered by the State Lands Division of ADCNR and guided by the 15-member advisory board comprising the commissioner of ADCNR, the state forester, three biologists appointed by the Alabama Commission on Higher Education, the executive director of the Marine Environmental Science Consortium, and nine members representing all regions of the state and appointed by the governor from a list of nominees provided by various conservation, environmental, business, recreational, and sportsmen organizations. The advisory board reviews nominated tracts and submits recommendations to the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house for final decisions.
The daily tasks of tract evaluation, title and abstract review, stewardship planning, report preparation, and other tasks are performed by the Natural Heritage Section of ADCNR's State Lands Division. The Natural Heritage Section, created in 1989 as a spin-off of the formative work of the ANDI project, was strengthened by provisions in the Forever Wild legislation to enable ongoing operations necessary for its supportive role with the Forever Wild program.
Projections indicate that Forever Wild might acquire as much as 250,000 acres of Alabama wildlands by the end of its 20-year span. As significant as this will be to conservation in Alabama, it does not begin to match similar programs of other states that are committing much greater expenditures for land protection. Nevertheless, Forever Wild is a notable example of diverse interest groups working to develop a broadly supported, innovative land-acquisition program for Alabama. This unprecedented success may be the vital ingredient leading to further measures, as have been suggested, for developing a comprehensive statewide Alabama Land Conservation Plan, and possibly even extending the duration of the Forever Wild Program and bolstering overall support for wildland protection in the state.

This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Plane tickets might cost more this year, but if you're flexible on days (and not too picky about destinations), there are both spring break hotel bargains to be had -- and strategies to avoid partying college students.
Airfare for between Feb. 28 and March 31 is up 9% this spring, to an average of $349, while hotels are down 15%, reports Bing Travel, Microsoft's travel search site. What does that mean for you? Think: travel jujitsu.
"College students tend to go to the same places every year -- Cancun, Palm Springs, South Beach," says Erik Torkells, editor of travel review site TripAdvisor.com. "They like to stay where all the action is."
- Calculator: What's the U.S. dollar worth overseas?
For grown-ups, that might mean considering the Big Apple, where vacancies have brought down the prices on three- and four-star properties. Or a more family-oriented area, like Orlando. If you're really set on the beach, you could have to shell out for a high-end resort students can't afford, or head for hotels and vacation rentals at smaller towns nearby.
Here are three destinations for a bargain spring break:
Hawaii. Putting aside the recent tsunami scare, Hawaii is still a budget-buster for most college students because of the long-haul flight. But with peak travel season extending through April, there will be bargains -- and crowds, says Barbara Messing, vice president for deal-tracking site Travel-Ticker.com. Outrigger and Ohana resorts, which operate 23 properties on four islands, have dropped rates by up to 65% for travel through April 30. Prices for a standard room at the Ohana Waikiki West start at $79 per night. East Coast residents may be priced out, though: Round-trip flights from Los Angeles start at about $500.
Orlando. College students take over many of Florida's beaches, but the theme parks remain the domain of families, says Ian Ford, founder of travel deal site UndercoverTourist.com. If you can avoid traveling in late March or early April over Easter weekend, there are deals on park properties, too. Disney cut room prices by 25% to 40% through March 27, and then starting again April 11. You'll pay as little as $79 for a standard room. Round-trip flights from New York start at $175.
New York. New York came in third on student travel site StudentUniverse.com's tally of top spring break destinations, based on the number of flights booked. Tourists are unlikely to notice the influx, however. "If students come to New York, the city absorbs them," Torkells says. "There isn't critical mass." Expedia.com currently has discounts ranging from 20% to 40% on three- and four-star New York properties. A deluxe king room at The Alex costs as little as $209 per night instead of $349 (a 40% discount), while a superior king room at the Park Central New York Hotel is $179 instead of $239 (25%).

* Prices may differ from that shown
This product is excellent for facial hair on a woman. I would not use it for any other part of my body as the blade is delicate. It is very cheap and therefore I would not expect it to work anywhere other than on the face. It does not work well for coarser hairs such as those under the arm and legs. It will pinch. However, it is very good for the soft vellous hairs that you get on your upper lip and on the sides of your face. For instance, if you were getting your upper lip waxed, this product would help you to stay smooth in between the waxing (2-4 weeks) whilst allowing the hair to grow back. It is the same for laser treatment too. It can be used as an aid as you obviously have to let your hair grow back before you can get it treated again. I would definitely recommend it.
Only use this thing if you want to have a bunch of stubble. It would be great and convienient if it really worked, but it's impossible to get a close shave with this. It is also pretty messy to use. It flings the cut hairs all over the place. It's still possible to get your skin caught in it. It didn't cause me any cuts, but it felt very uncomfortable. It might be irritating and drying to people with sensitive dry skin. Just stick to a regular razor, don't waste your time and money buying this.
Cordless pen-shaped hair remover for women.

My opinion is that cabin 161 was sort of cramped, did not have the room that HAL is known for. There was ample room for 2 people, ample storage for 1 but the square footage could have been larger.
No complaints. Bigger than we expected, but still a little small to dress in without bumping into each other. Tiny crack in bathroom sink, but nothing unpleasant.

This is a geologist dream and there are many tours, some of which are headed by expatriate experts in rocks and volcanic formations, that should not be missed. Arenal volcano is also the annual backdrop of extreme frisbee that adds a unique sight to a volcano tour.

A 15-year-old cancer survivor is fighting to raise funds to find a cure for the disease that kills thousands of children every year.
At the age of 10, Malcolm Sutherland-Foggio was diagnosed with a highly aggressive and malignant bone tumor known as pelvic Ewings Sarcoma.
After 14 rounds of chemotherapy, he decided it was time a permanent cure for cancer be found to prevent more children from dying.
Malcolm and his mom are on a mission. They are sharing the names, faces and ages of children who were killed by cancer by touring the country with the National Angel Quilt.
They are traveling across the United States to raise awareness and funds for research for children's cancer. He made a stop in Kansas City at Union Station.
"The fact is people everywhere are effected by cancer, whether it is childhood cancer or adult cancer. It is different when it is a kid, because kids are supposed to grow up," Malcolm said.
Malcolm knows what the children on the quilt experienced in treatment. He survived round after round of chemotherapy and countless bone marrow transplants.
"I was going through treatment and learned all these incredible facts that I had no idea about kids cancer. A child has a one in 320 chance of being diagnosed with cancer before their 21st birthday," he said.
He couldn't believe only 3 percent of cancer research goes toward pediatric cancers.
"These types of facts motivated me to push through treatment and also to tell my mom that someone has to make some noise about this. It is wrong that kids are dying of cancer. Someone needs to change it," Malcolm said.
Malcolm started the non-profit Make Some Noise Pediatric Research Foundation. Since 2009, they have raised about $1.1 million for children cancer research.
"It's not nearly enough we need to find the cures," he said.
According to Make Some Noise, every school day, two classrooms of children are diagnosed with cancer, seven of them will die.
Malcolm hopes the quilt will capture the attention of the donors and the medical community to change that.
"There is promising research that is being done. I will get to see a cure in my lifetime," he said.
The 2013 summer tour is funded by a grant from New Jersey Heroes, the charity of Mary Pat Christie, the wife of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

CHCO Council rallies around USAJobs
Wednesday - 11/9/2011, 3:40pm EST
Despite what the Office of Personnel Management called a "rocky start," the HR officers said they were pleased with the progress in fixing technical issues. They met Tuesday for the annual public meeting of the CHCO Council. The council had chosen to have OPM take control of the site from a contractor, Monster Government Solutions. The agency has hosted phone calls as frequently as twice a day to update members.
"This was a team effort from the beginning," said OPM Director John Berry, who thanked the officers for their support. He said they made the "right call" in choosing to take USAJobs in house for security purposes. OPM said no agency had reported problems in using the site. User complaints to the USAJobs helpdesk have decreased to 1,200 per week from a high of 3,000 during the week of its launch on Oct. 11.
"They're working around the clock and I think their metrics are telling," said Pat Tamburrino, the Department of Defense's deputy assistant secretary for civilian personnel policy. "Right now, we're cranking along well." He said he had no regrets about the council's decision.
The council also discussed an upcoming strategy for improving diversity at all ranks of the federal workforce. President Barack Obama has tasked OPM, the Office of Management and Budget, the President's Management Council and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with developing this plan by next week.
While it will not set quotas for agencies to meet, Sharon Wong, special assistant to the director of OPM's Office of Diversity and Inclusion, told the council that the strategy would include measurements meant to set a "minimum baseline" without being "prescriptive."
The Department of Justice civil rights division is reviewing the strategy.

Amtech Systems Inc. Stock Downgraded (ASYS)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 75.97%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 170.12% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Despite the heavy decline in its share price, this stock is still more expensive (when compared to its current earnings) than most other companies in its industry.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 167.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $7.52 million to -$5.08 million.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, AMTECH SYSTEMS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for AMTECH SYSTEMS INC is rather low; currently it is at 22.30%. It has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -23.60% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$6.54 million or 142.11% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
