Difficulty - we are not regular hikers but we go walking a lot so I thought we'd be ok on this trail. It is strenuous. There are rungs embedded into the rocks so you are able to climb metal ladders in some spots. The path is narrow and definitely not for the faint-hearted. I have a very slight fear of...
I did a mainly solo hike of this trail in August 2016. I had read some reviews online that said it was an amazing hike with a beautiful view, and someone said it was like a mini Precipice Trail (considerably the most dangerous hike in Acadia).
It was a beautiful hike with an amazing view of the ocean, but I...
Ok, I'm from NC, have done some 4 hr strenuous hikes( for me anyway...). Unless I got this all wrong, you actually begin your ascent and see people- tiny specs- climbing on the edge with a cable between them and splat! Is that why they call it the Beehive? People look like bees on a hive? Uh didn't do that,...
This was a very short trail that at times was dizzying. I'm terrified of heights and was scared I wouldn't be able to do it, but all the iron rungs are in perfect places and at 5'7", I didn't once feel like I had to reach to grip the next handhold, so it actually wasn't too bad. I wouldn't recommend...
There are many beautiful hikes in the park but I enjoyed Beehive Trail the most. We were there during peak fall colors so the views were fantastic. The entire hike (coming back Bowl Trail) can be easily completed under an hour. Hand bars and rails are strategically placed to get you through the tough spots. It is a fun challenge,...
While researching our Acadia trip, I came across this hike. I knew it would be more of a mental challenge (getting over fear of heights) than it would be physical challenge. My husband and I made the mistake of viewing the YouTube videos of the hike the night before and I think it made us nervous to the point that...
The best hike I ever did. amazing view and all the way is fantastic. We enjoyed any moment of the trail.
Decided to step out of our comfort zone and try this trail. So glad we did!! A great sense of accomplishment and beautiful views are the rewards. Trail is completely doable if you are generally moderately active and have just a bit of leg and arm strength. Some steps were a little stretch for me, since I'm short, but well...
We got here later than expected and ran through this trail in about 45 minutes... Tons of fun and gorgeous views as the sun was setting!
This is totally different than anything I have ever done before. You literally climb up the side of a mountain there are strategically placed rungs to help you get up the mountain. There are boards and rungs placed in spots to help you get across certain parts of the mountain that would be pretty dangerous if they weren't there, but...
Is there a swimming hole at the top?
Can I get to the trail head via the park shuttle? Our cruise ship is in Bar Harbor and it is my understanding that we can pick up the shuttle in Bar Harbor.
How long does it take to complete this trail?

I certainly do see the need for a users list. Very technical discussion, high volume, and the project arguments could easily be a turn-off. However what would be the distinction for the posting content? I find such double lists very confusing, as i never know where to post certain content. I really do abhor the Cc mess.

During the recent storms I was able to enjoy one of my favorite activities: lying in bed late at night, all cozy and warm, and listening to the sound of heavy rain in the darkness. To me that is one of the simple pleasures in life; something that always warms my heart and makes me feel good.
With Valentine's Day on the horizon, why not pause for a moment to think of those films whose approach to romance never fails to please. Recently nominated for 10 Academy Awards, The Artist is giving audiences an old-fashioned taste of old-fashioned romance.
Whenever I have a chance to revisit Lerner & Loewe's 1958 movie musical, Gigi, I never fail to be swept away by its many charms.
For many people, Rob Reiner's 1987 delight, The Princess Bride, is a reliable tonic to chase away the blues.
Why? Because the bottom line is summed up so well in a famous song crafted by Rodgers & Hart during the Great Depression. In the following clip from 1932's Love Me Tonight, Maurice Chevalier and Jeannette MacDonald sing "Isn't It Romantic?"
* * * * * * * * * *
Films in the romantic comedy genre vary from beautifully told stories (Sleepless in Seattle, Shakespeare in Love, Moonstruck, Notting Hill, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Four Weddings and a Funeral) to more mundane efforts that succeed at the box office but are quickly forgotten (Leap Year, The Proposal, Shallow Hal, Music and Lyrics). The rom-com machine also generates oceans of poorly-written drek that has been woefully directed.
Romantic farce, however, is a much more difficult genre in which to succeed. Harold Lloyd was a genius at combining slapstick with the purest, most innocent expressions of love. I recently had a chance to watch Jack Benny starring in the 1941 film adaptation of Charley's Aunt. It's worth renting the DVD for a grandly comedic performance as Benny hops in and out of drag.

Recently screened at the 14th San Francisco Independent Film Festival, Juko's Time Machine is the rare romantic farce that is contemporary, hilarious, and meticulously plotted. Written, directed, and edited by Kai Barry, this sweet little indie gem has a cast of six, a wealth of imagination, and a love story that is impossible to resist.
Juko (Nathan Cozzolino) and Jed (Alex Moggridge)
will go to any length to make Juko's dream come true.
Juko (Nathan Cozzolino) and Jed (Alex Moggridge) have been best friends since at least kindergarten. Where Juko is the nerdy dreamer who often comes up with crazy ideas, Jed has always been the practical enabler, the budding engineer who can design a gizmo that could make any fantasy of Juko's come true. There's just one problem.
Juko has spent the past 20 years obsessing over a girl he had a crush on in grade school. He's built weird mechanical devices that he hoped would impress Rory (Zibby Allen). He even crashed their teacher's car into a tree hoping that his daring action would make some kind of an impact.
The beautiful Rory (Zibby Allen) is the object of Juko's affection.
When Juko was supposed to kiss Rory onstage during a school play, he froze and ran out of the building. The next time she saw him, she punched him in the face. That made an impression!
Juko even had the bad luck to be visiting Rory when Hammel (Josh Randall), the man she met in Italy, arrived to propose to her. Now they're married, Juko is still head over heels in love, tongue-tied, and getting desperate.
Because Juko is a classic nerd, he's convinced himself that the timing has always been wrong for him to propose to Rory. If he could only get to her before Hammel, he could charm Rory, ask her to marry him, and they could live happily ever after.
Jed's wife Nina (Katie Sigismund) experiences a most
unusual pregnancy in Juko's Time Machine .
Meanwhile, back in the real world, Juko has been living in the garage behind Jed's house. Jed's pregnant wife Nina (Katie Sigismund) is anxious to sell their house so they can get Juko out of their daily lives. But when Jed agrees to help his lovelorn friend build a time machine, unexpected complications ensue.
Imagine, just for a moment, what it might be like if Carl Reiner and Larry Gelbart had been given a chance to write a segment about time travel for The Twilight Zone and you'll get some idea of the fun to be found in Juko's Time Machine.
Kai Barry's film features some animation by Virgil Mihailescu and is blessed with a delightfully mischievous score composed by Branden Kimball and Josh Johnson. The small ensemble of unknowns (including Kevin Sadlier as an easily confused neighbor) is so convincing that you'll find yourself laughing out loud at the film's inspired lunacy.
It looks like Juko's Time Machine is taking the direct to DVD distribution route, so if you're interested in purchasing the a copy of the film, click here. In the meantime, here's the trailer:

As I ponder 1997's winners, it strikes me that, apart from the predictable victory for Diana, there were several names which had never appeared on the list before - and probably never will again. One of these was Tiggy, and for a moment I couldn't even remember the derivation of this name. Then, suddenly, it all came back to me. This was, of course, the name popularised by someone known in full as Tiggy Legge-Bourke, and is the sort of name that it takes the upper classes several hundred years to develop, like a rare orchid. Or rare mushroom, perhaps.
Now, Tiggy was quite happy moseying along out of the limelight as a nanny - or something like that - to Prince Harry and Prince William, and she only ever became famous because those bounders in the press liked to suggest that there was a rivalry for the princes' affections between her and Diana. With Diana gone, of course, no more press interest in Tiggy Legge- Bourke. So, no more Tiggy in the top 10 names.
There is a similar pattern with Louise, a name that was in the news last year only because its owner, another nanny by the name of Louise Woodward, was on trial for murder in America. Louise, along with Myra, has again sunk way below the top 10 (except, oddly enough, when used in conjunction with Thelma...)
This has been the first year for a while that the competition has not been dominated by Diana, or Poor Di, as she was latterly known. The name Harriet was a front-runner for a while, but that too has ebbed away, as have all the Spice Girls...
However, that's enough bitchy back-biting, girls, and let's get on to the moment that you have all been waiting for: the top 10 girls' names of 1998 (with 1997's position in brackets).
1 Camilla (3)
2 Monica (-)
3 Ffion (-)
4 Kate (-)
5 Fergie (8)
6 Nicole (-)
7 Gaynor (-)
8 Oprah (-)
9 Cherie (-)
10 Madeleine (-)
The presence of Nicole in the top 10 is due entirely to the strange success of Nicole Kidman (aka Mrs Tom Cruise) in an adaptation of Schnitzler's La Ronde in the West End, where she vanquished all critical doubts, apparently, by taking her clothes off. We dwellers in the provinces were baffled by such unsophisticated behaviour, but if that's what gives the simple folk of London their kicks, they're welcome to it.
Incidentally, Nicole has only ever been in the top 10 once before, making an appearance thanks to a car commercial on television. I can't remember what the make of car was. A Renault Nicole, perhaps? Perhaps not...
Gaynor is an interesting case of a girl's name that sounds more like a boy's name or, perhaps, a surname that has been recycled, such as Meryl. Occasionally these names crop up on both sides of the sexual frontier. This year, for example, Fergie turned up on both sides of the divide, as in the Manchester United manager and the wife of Prince Andrew...
Kate owes its popularity not to any one person but to a whole plethora of Kates who have become big in showbiz, such as Kate Moss, Kate Winslet, Kate Bush... Indeed, I am convinced that Kate has replaced Emma as the all-purpose female showbusiness name.
On television there is a fashion for more exotic names when it comes to women presenting chat shows; the only one that has got into the top 10 is Oprah, but bubbling just below the surface there are other pseudo- exotic chat-show names, such as Vanessa and Melinda and Zoe and Ruby...
Looking a bit further down, we come to some odd names such as Gitta, which has won 35th position. This is the first name of Gitta Sereny, a person who writes books about murderers, and is, presumably, an abbreviation of Birgitta, a form of Bridget. Bridget itself did well, coming in at number 13 - an effort that was based entirely on the success of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary, the revelations of a young woman famous for her inability to cope.
Finally, I think the two oddest girls' names of the year were Arundhati and Dava, both of which had their best year yet. Indeed, both had their first year yet. Good luck to them - and to everyone else - for the coming year.

Half of all seven-year-olds in the UK are not exercising enough to stay healthy – remaining inactive for between six and seven hours every day, a major study has revealed.
The researchers, who surveyed 7,000 children between May 2008 and August 2009, also found a "striking" gender gap, with girls far less active than boys. Only four in 10 girls achieved minimum recommended activity levels of an hour or more a day, compared with 63 per cent of boys.
The findings, in research published in the BMJ Open journal, come a day after official figures showed the Olympic legacy may have had a negligible impact on the activity levels of young children.
Despite hopes that the Olympic and Paralympic Games would "inspire a generation" to take up sport, a survey of 2,000 children by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport found that just under half of five- to 10-year-olds had not been encouraged to take up a sport because of the Olympics and, of those who did, only around a third said they had been encouraged "a lot".
Professor Carol Dezateux, of the University College London Institute of Child Health, a senior author of the BMJ study, said that the gender differences in exercise levels were "striking" and called for policies to promote more exercise among girls, including dancing, playground activities, and ball games.
"The results of our study… strongly suggest that contemporary UK children are insufficiently active, implying that effort is needed to boost [physical activity] among young people to the level appropriate for good health," the authors of the study write.
Population-wide interventions would be needed, they said, including policies to make it easier for children to walk to school, in a bid to increase physical activity.
"Investing in this area is a vital component to deliver the Olympic legacy and improve the short- and long-term health of our children," they added.
Researchers measured children's activity rates by equipping them with accelerometers for an entire week, which were taken off only when the children went to bed or bathed.
Regional differences were also highlighted by the researchers. Well over half of seven-year-olds in Northern Ireland exercised for less than an hour a day, with 52 per cent of children in Scotland hitting the target.
Children living in the North-west of England were the most likely to exercise more, with 58 per cent doing an hour a day, while the most sedentary region was the Midlands, where only 46 per cent of seven-year-olds hit daily recommended exercise levels.
A third of children in the UK aged between two and 15 are overweight and between 14 and 20 per cent are believed to be obese. By 2030, research suggests, half the adult population of the UK could be obese.
Health experts warn that such high levels of obesity represent a "time bomb" for the NHS, with the inevitable rise in weight-associated conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke set to rise dramatically. A government report published this week predicted that three in four adults could have a weight-related illness within two decades.
Diabetes and associated conditions already account for one pound in every 10 the NHS spends.
Professor Paul Gately, an expert in physical health and nutrition and the founder of the weight-management programme MoreLife, said that the school system was geared towards sports for children, but not towards encouraging children who might not be good at sport to stay active.
"We don't have a school system that promotes a greater level of physical activity. We encourage sporty kids, but not necessarily active kids," he said.
"There is a relationship between obesity and deprivation; it's not that clear-cut, but if you live in a densely populated area it makes you more likely to be obese, because it's not safe to play out, and you don't walk to school," he said. "Children with lower levels of learning also have higher levels of obesity; children with traumatic experiences are more likely to be obese. It… goes beyond the common picture of more children staying indoors and playing computer games."
John Steele, the chief executive of the Youth Sport Trust, said the findings were "concerning".
"If young people enjoy taking part in physical activity early on they will go on to lead active, healthy lifestyles, but if they have a bad experience, particularly at school, they could be put off for life," he said.

He has a relatively different way of solving cases, which often puts him into dangerous circumstances, but he still manages to get crucial leads. He is sent to Moscow to investigate why his colleague was killed, where he comes to know that a Russian money launderer called Abu Nazar (Ram Kapoor) has sent $58 million to a contact in Morocco, for an operation against India. He immediately jets off to Morocco, where he bumps into Mafidsi Kazan (Prem Chopra) and Dr Ruby (Kareena Kapoor). Kazan is part Greek, part Moroccan, and part Indian. He is a ruthless man running the drug trade in the Mediterranean. A series of twists and turns take Vinod across the globe from Marrakech in Morocco to Riga in Latvia, Karachi, Delhi and finally London, where he discovers the ultimate conspiracy.

JHALAK DIKHHLA JAA 5 review: Entertaining, but don't expect any serious dancing
The first episode of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 was a delight to watch. From celebs with two left feet to stars who simply enjoy grooving, every contestant on the show was seen having a blast
Apart from Manish Paul's horrid jokes, we could endure everything and everybody else on the show. Click here to read more
Atul Kulkarni: Language is not a criterion to do a film
He is the quintessential character-actor who doesn't just mould himself according to the role, but raises it a notch higher. Atul Kulkarni's charming smile, humble attitude and talent make him a star in his own right
In conversation with us, the star actor who dons the character of Bobby in his forthcoming flick Chaalis Chauraasi, where he plays a cop and an aspiring singer who can't sing to save his life, speaks of his new film and much more. Click here to read more
DANGEROUS ISHHQ movie review: Karisma Kapoor gives a stunning performance
"It's not reincarnation, but past life regression!" Vikram Bhatt has explained it time and again and now we agree. Dangerous Ishhq is a beautifully narrated story that manages to invoke your curiosity
With no expectations or probably an already set prejudice that the film will bore me death, I entered the theatre to see what Vikram Bhatt's Dangerous Ishhq has to offer. The film starts by introducing Sanjana (Karisma Kapoor) as the showstopper for Manish Malhotra's fashion show, with Rohan (Rajneesh Duggal) admiring his lady love as he sits with his younger brother (Ruslaan Mumtaz) and a doctor friend (Divya Dutta).

Hello! I'm not really inside the in-ear world, and I want to buy a good pair this weekend, as my old ones have broken.
My price range would be between 100€-150€ (150-200)$.
My source is an iPod 160GB classic, and 2/3 or more of my music is in lossless ALAC.
About the type of music, most of it is rock and its derivatives (not hard one though...), but anyway they would not be destined to electronic music mainly. I appreciate a good bass, though due to my music types, it's not necessary a really big one.
I really don't know what to say in addition, if you need more information to help, please let me know. Thanks!

Reality star Kim Kardashian appeared as herself on the Tuesday night (Feb. 7) episode of "Last Man Standing." The crux of her plotline is that middle daughter Mandy is obsessed with Kim K. and freaks out when she is coming to the local mall on her book tour.
So much so that Mandy writes her two poems.
The haiku:
Beauty, in and out
Defining class, grace and style
Kim Kardashian
And the limerick:
The fairest of Kardashian lasses
Kim K. brought style to the masses
She did it with flair
And a toss of her hair
And one of the world's most spectacular …
Mandy goes on to humiliate herself at the mall appearance, so Kim stops by her house because her producer thought "it would make good TV if we locate the clumsy poet from the mall so [Kim] can console her."
It was a pretty silly plot, though we did enjoy this exchange:
Kim: "When I feel like I'm the butt of the joke, you know what gives me strength?"
Mandy: "A silk bag full of money?"
Kim: "…sometimes."
What did you think of Kim K.'s turn on "LMS as herself?

Castila Bed: A Stylish Addition to Your Bedroom
Castila beds are long, wide and absolutely stylish. Castila beds usually span throughout the bedroom floor. So, it is preferred that they are used in large rooms. But Castila beds can also be used in medium and small sized rooms provided that there is less furniture in there.
Castila beds can come in different designs. Some castila beds are entirely wooden and have bed stands. Some of them have upholstered headboards and short legs. Some of them have a comparatively modern design – they don't have any legs and they span almost the entire bedroom.
A castila bed looks extraordinarily beautiful in a large room. In a smaller room, it can work with lesser and smaller furniture. Castila beds look great with rugs or carpets. They also look good with sleek side tables with thin hand grips.
Castila beds also look great with long heavy non-printed drapes. One can place designer buffet lamps and floor lamps on both sides of the bed to give the bedroom a more sophisticated look. A castila bed will look absolutely gorgeous with upholstered and slim furniture.
Castila Beds by Aura
Castila is a gorgeous modern bed by Aura which belongs to its Golden bedroom collection. Castila beds are quite long and wide and span the bedroom like a majestic bridge. It is very modern in design but has a touch of classic elegance to it.
Size: Castila beds by Aura can both be found in king and queen sizes. The measurements of the queen size beds are width – 251cm, height – 85cm and length – 240cm. The measurements of the queen size beds are width – 221cm, height – 85cm and length – 240cm.
Design: A castila bed by Aura becomes the center of attraction of the bedroom because of its grandness in size and design. The castila bed does not have any leg and has an upholstered bed post. Its base is wooden. The rest is made of high quality polyurethane that feels like leather. The bed also comes with an inlaid mattress. Though the bed is wide and long which makes it grand, its height is comparatively lower which at the same time gives it an inconspicuous and humble quality.
Color: The bed can be availed in black and white. It also has options for customized colors.
Price: The price is fixed and depends on the bed size. Naturally, if you're buying a king size bed, it will cost you more than what it would have cost you on a queen size one. The website has a calculator that gives you the exact costs.
How to order: Simply contact Aura through their website, place your order and have the bed of your dreams delivered in 4-8 weeks of time.

There product does not work
Sorry to say this about this product but the truth must be revealed. I purchased this item think it would be a handy keyboard for my computer, Ipad and cell phone. However, it has completely let me down on my expectations. There no clear directions of how to pair the device? I highly do not recommend this device for purchase as it doesn't meet there standards. Also I had a hard time trying to return the device. Customer service for the product was horrible. I was unable to return the device. The product may physically look attractive but it performance is horrible. It seems like the product is designed to work with older Bluetooth software (Android 2.1) which make it pointless to buy when most of us run on the latest software versions. The software CD that it comes with does not help. It has the drivers for the different devices but lack of software version prevents it from working as per the design. Not knowing that I still made an attempt of loading there drivers on the connecting device. However, I ended up messing up my personal devices in which I had to reboot them. For my cell phone I have to reset it to factory setting to get it to work normal again. So don't attempt to install the given drivers or software that comes with it. It will damage your current device. I felt I was cheated out the product by it looks. Looks are deicing so don't fall into the trap like I did.

As with most re-masters there are remixes and bonus tracks included with these releases. There is enough extra meat on these bones to make it worth the purchase for an existing KJ fan.

Killing Joke Live" which has their choices up until that point including the truly awesome 'Wardance'. Led by chief nutter Jaz Coleman this lot produce accessible angry angst on a collosal scale with massive variety from dub to metal. We got tracks that forshadow Manson and the rest of the goth industrial movement. You know you want them so just go get 'em.

The buildings were largely demolished at the Reformation but the ruins were later partly restored as part of the romantic landscaped grounds of Bayham Old Abbey House (designed by Humphry Repton). The abbey is now owned by English Heritage.

Parts have become difficult to find, and operational costs have skyrocketed. A redesign and replacement of the on-board computer system should be done by the end of next year.WVU will then work on redesigning and replacing the propulsion system with Bombardier.Those, too, should be done by the end of next year.Funding comes from the Federal Transit Administration and WVU Transportation funds.

GU12 Bronze Alpha Champions
2015-2016 League Champions!!!
GU14 Silver Alpha Champions
GU13 Bronze Alpha Champions
Great weekend for the club! Three teams competed in the CVSC Tournament. Two championships and a second place finish!!!
The GU14 team had an exciting day. The day started with PK's to see which team advanced as the bracket winner to play in the semifinals. After the 7th shooter, the Kickers won and played the Aztecs from Bakersfield. Still high from their PK shootout victory, they emerged with a 3-0 victory.
In the finals, they played an extremely talented team, the Clovis Crossfire. The Crossfire, a Nor Cal Premier team, came out dominating the game, however after the first 15 minutes, the Kickers started grinding it out and showed tremendous grit and character. The game ended in a 0-0 tie and went directly to PK's. Once again the girls came through in the shootout and won the title.
Team MVP for the tournament was Analea Pule, who made some outstanding saves to keep us in the game and made the save to allow us to win the title.
Nice job Analea!!!
Can you say complete domination??? The GU12 team walked through their competition this weekend, scoring 22 goals and allowing 4 in 4 contests en route to their first title of the new season. After winning all pool games by a score of 5-1, they played Madrid in the championship game. The team showed incredible poise and composure and dominated the game from the beginning whistle, putting 7 goals in the back of the net and only allowing one.
Top scorer Emmy Withrow was named the team MVP for the tournament.
Great Job Emmy!
Our GU11 team started out slowly in the tournament with a 1-3 loss, however they showed great character by coming back and winning their second game by a score of 5-0. Needing a tie or a win in order to make the championship games in the morning game, the girls took a 1-0 lead, however, they found themselves down 3-1 by halftime. Again, the girls fought back and scored the final two goals to tie the game and advance to the championship game. Even though the title eluded them in the championship game, the girls realized that with hard work anything is possible. Great job girls!!
Congratulations to the GU12, GU13, and GU14 for winning their respective league title for the 2015-2016 season. Also a job well done by both the GU11 and GU10's for finishing in the top half of their league season as well.
Both GU12 and GU13's will be moving to the Silver level next season, while the GU14's will be moving up to the
Silver Elite level.
The GU14's finished with a 12-2-0 record, scoring 33 goals while allowing only 8 goals throughout their league campaign.
The GU13's went undefeated in league play with a 12-0-2 record, scoring 43 goals and also allowing only 8 goals.
Finally, Our GU12's also went undefeated in league with a 10-0-4 record, scoring 33 goals and only allowing an
impressive 5 goals against.
Congrats to all three teams for their Championship run in league this season!!!

"Cheers" bartender Woody Harrelson apparently doesn't like to go where everyone knows his name.
Is that why he went ape on a paparazzi at La Guardia Airport last night?
Click here to watch the TMZ video of the alleged attack and see if he was in his rights — or just plain hoot owl crazy — to do what he did.
The photog asks Woody questions. The actor shoves the camera and it goes off. Seconds later the video is back, but then the screen goes black again, and — kind of like that horrifying bear attack on that guy who lived with the bears in the wild — you can still hear horrible sounds of cameras being smashed and a loud scuffle.
A TMZ cameraman shot the action with his flip cam.
N.Y. Port Authority police are investigating the latest incident. And we're waiting on word from Woody's peeps.
Boy, the paps have it tough. Last year Brad Pitt and Angelina
Jolie's security forces in France cornered some sneaky paps on their chateau grounds and
violence ensued.
Kanye West was recent charged with two felonies in alleged attacks of pappers at LAX.
And a few days ago, two paparazzi
were allegedly fired on by security guards at Gisele Bundchen and Tom
Brady's wedding in Costa Rica.

They say that a change is as good as a rest, and many people who've made sharp turns in their working lives report the invigorating effect of undertaking novel activities in fresh surroundings.
In the current climate, though, for those experiencing, or threatened with, redundancy a period of enforced rest might be the only option before the economy picks up. Some will use that time to acquire new skills to enhance their employability and reduce their vulnerability to redundancy in the future. For many in that category, a move towards working in the environmental sector, or adding some environmental credentials to their existing CV, might be the way back into employment and, more important, job security.
The fact that many people are switching roles into this broad area of work is reflected in the continued growth in membership of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA), the leading umbrella organisation which promotes best practice in the sector, and whose members work within it.
"Membership is rising all the time," says IEMA's acting chief executive, Martin Baxter. "It's gone up 5 per cent since the beginning of this year and now stands at nearly 14,700." But the attractiveness of jobs in "green" roles means there's plenty of competition for vacancies, so there's a word of caution from IEMA's membership director, Claire Lea.
"Environment is a popular area, it is high profile in the press and high on the Government's agenda with regard to skills for a low-carbon economy. So it's important for anyone considering a career change to think about what particular job roles or areas interest them," she says.
"The range of environment jobs is really wide, and depending on the area you choose, the training and development needed to secure a position will vary."
An exhaustive list of roles in the green sector would take pages to complete, and be out of date almost immediately, since the sector is expanding all the time, but there are two broad categories. The first includes the in-house environmental co-ordinators or managers working within organisations whose main function is something else, possibly banking, selling computers or making car components. A large multinational body may have a mini hierarchy of 30 people in these roles, while a smaller organisation will have just one.
Then there is the growing number of environmental consultancies whose staff give advice to organisations on a range of environmental issues, such as energy efficiency, waste management, noise and air pollution, and sustainable use of resources. A large proportion of these consultancies are sole operators, often people who used to work in large organisations and have now set up on their own. Some are highly specific, with activities concentrating on a narrow area.
An example in this last category is Betts Ecology, a Worcestershire-based firm that specialises in the assessment of proposed development sites with regard to any protected species, including animals, birds, insects or plants. Specialist ecologists from Betts visit sites, looking for bats, newts, otters, owls and countless more species, and ensure their environment is protected during and after any building work.
The contrast between a job involving night work on a bat survey and one monitoring the gas coming out of a factory chimney underlines the importance of doing research before deciding to target the environmental sector in a search for new employment.
Lea's advice is to talk to people who have done or are doing the types of roles that interest you, to find out what they actually do when they're at work. Many firms will be happy to allow people in to shadow someone for a day, which is as good a way as any of judging whether or not you are likely to be comfortable in that working environment.
Many such career changers are helped by Allen and York, one of the biggest specialists in recruitment in the environment sector, with 55 consultants devoted to such work. The firm's business manager, Joe Heppenstall, who used to be an environmental surveyor, says some people manage to move across to the sector with little or no extra training.
"The biggest area here is people with generic project management skills, picked up in another industry, such as construction, for example," he says. Or sometimes experience of a specific business role proves easily transferable. Allen and York managed a move recently for a telecommunications firm employee, whose role was buying land for new masts. He moved to a role buying land to site wind turbines.
Other career movers will need only a small amount of retraining to operate in an environmental field. For example, people who have generic skills at assessment and report writing. Heppenstall knows of environmental consultancies that take such people on and give them training to become environmental assessors, visiting offices, factories and other workplaces.
"There's evidence showing that people in this category are taking a pay cut to get into the sector, but also that they are working their way up pretty quickly, which shows that in the sector the cream will rise to the top," he says.
Among those taking a pay cut to make this sort of a career move are those who have been forced into the position by redundancy, many of whom are given a pot of training money by the employer they're leaving as a means of trying to help them find a new career. Recruitment agencies are often called in by the HR departments of firms cutting jobs, asking for advice to help staff spend their training money on acquiring skills needed in the environmental sector.
Such money can help to pay for a relevant specialist Masters degree or, if the candidate is starting from scratch, towards a basic qualification covering essential starter knowledge.
Here the IEMA Associate Certificate course, which includes the core knowledge that people need to be active in any environmental role, has gained widespread recognition across the industry. The course, which consists of 10 days of study, is run by training organisations across the country, approved by IEMA, with fees ranging from £1,500 to £2,000.
IEMA's website ( www.iema.net) carries adverts for many of these courses, and also has details of its own workshops providing more in-depth training in numerous specialist areas.
In that regard, Chris Kiernan, head of the environmental section of Cobalt Recruitment, endorses the importance for aspiring career changers of beefing up CVs to demonstrate specialist knowledge. He suggests the BRE (formerly the Building Research Establishment) as an example of a source of information about relevant qualifications for those targeting jobs with a construction element.
But he also stresses the value of highlighting generic business and employment skills picked up in earlier, non-environmental roles.
"While you may not tick all the boxes in a purely technical sense, do think about core transferable skills which the prospective employer would benefit from: skills such as project management, current commercial and financial responsibility, team-working, presentation, communication and IT," he explains. "These all feature heavily in an employer's decision-mak ing process."
'I've booked myself on courses to increase my knowledge'
Natalie Loben is operations director for Betts Ecology, which specialises in surveying sites for the presence of protected species. She joined the firm in 2007 after working as an IT manager for a big car franchise.
"We provide builders and landowners with a solution to ecological requirements on their sites, relating to protected species.
To this end, we do site surveys and get involved in planning applications and sometimes litigation, which we are doing more and more of, because people are finding it difficult to navigate their way through Euro legislation. My role is to control the ecologists who go out on site, so I'm learning an awful lot day by day about ecology. For example, I now know that the great crested newt season (when they can be seen and surveyed) is from mid-March to mid-June, and the bat season is from May to September.
I've booked myself on courses to increase my knowledge; I'm going on one soon, organised by Ciria (Construction Industry Research and Information Association) on wildlife on building sites.
The biggest difference in this job is that the ecologists who I'm working with here are out on site most of the time, so they have to manage themselves.
I can't control them like I could the machines and the people in my previous job, and it's been hard letting go of that.
Also the ecologists are not at all interested in the money side – even though we are a commercial business.
They're just interested in the animals, so it can be hard for me sometimes to control costs for our clients.
I've been surprised at how many other organisations there are out there that do what we do. The competition is fierce.
I enjoy the job, although it can sometimes be more frustrating than when I was working in IT; but it can also be much more rewarding."
'We give staff extra holiday for every day they cycle to work'
Joanna Foy is environmental officer for Forster, the communications and PR company, which has 51 staff at its central London offices. She moved to this role two years ago from a post as assistant to the chief executive.
"I'm responsible for the targets on reducing emissions and improving our all-round environmental performance that we set ourselves after our annual environmental audit performed by an external consultant.
I encourage staff to take up initiatives, for example our cycling and walking-to-work scheme. We give staff five minutes extra holiday for every day they cycle or walk to work, which means if they do that every day, they get an extra two and a half days holiday.
The company bought two Brompton (collapsible) pool bikes for staff to use when going to meetings in London. The reaction has been really positive. Cycling on business trips has gone from zero to 10 per cent in six months.
Another way we try to reduce our energy usage is by giving out sweatshirts to staff in September and October, so we can hold off turning the heating on for a month or so. And at a company meeting last year, we gave out a winter survival kit, consisting of a woolly hat, some knitting needles and instructions on how to knit, and also some vitamin C tablets and echinacea, to keep the immune system boosted.
We've also installed a wormery, which sits on a balcony, to turn our organic material – including apple cores and banana skins – into compost.
And I'm responsible for our supplier screening, making sure they observe standards that come up to our policies. That gives me lots of interaction with other organisations, and, with sustainability events I attend, helps me keep in touch with other ideas."

But the diminutive Mr Cebekhulu kept his promise to return yesterday if his safety was guaranteed. Tucked away in the far corner of the witness rows, only yards from Mrs Mandela and her lawyers, it was only the presence of his self-styled champion, the former Tory MP (and now baroness) Emma Nicholson, in quiet canary yellow, which gave him away.
It is not as if there is a shortage of interesting witnesses-in-waiting. One man, under prison guard, nursed a small football as he waited for his turn.
But Mr Cebekhulu is expected to be one of this week's star turns. His story was told in Katiza's Journey, a book by the British journalist Fred Bridgland, who was in the hall covering the hearings. It caused a sensation in South Africa when it was released. In it Mr Cebekhulu claims he saw Mrs Mandela stab Stompie Seipei Moeketsi, 14, in the garden of her Soweto home. A key witness at the trial at which she was convicted of kidnapping the boy, Mr Cebekhulu disappeared before proceedings started. He claims he was spirited out of the country by the ANC to save the "Mother of the Nation". The book also claims that President Mandela arranged his disappearance. Lured away, he says, by promises of comfort and education, Mr Cebekhulu ended up in Zambia, where Baroness Nicholson eventually chanced upon him languishing in a Lusaka jail.
Mr Cebekhulu, dismissed as a lunatic by Mrs Mandela, was granted immunity from arrest for the kidnap and assault of Stompie so that he could testify this week. He is under witness protection and the TRC refuses to discuss his movements for security reasons.
Other witnesses include the brother of Abu Baker Asvat, a doctor murdered during a robbery at his surgery after Stompie's death. Witnesses will say Mrs Mandela asked Dr Asvat, a family friend, to treat Stompie and that he refused, insisting the boy go to hospital. Dr Asvat's killers recently claimed from prison that they were ordered to kill him by Mrs Mandela.

Giles Coren out loud

2012 will surely go down in history as the greatest in the history of British sport. Hosting the Olympic Games in London meant that it was always going to be a year to savour, but no one dared imagine how spectacularly successful the Games would be for British athletes or that the event would be such an organisational triumph.
The hype and expectation was almost suffocating but in the end London 2012 exceeded everyone's wildest dreams. And, just to rekindle the national euphoria, the Paralympic Games a few weeks later were also a huge success. Add to that a first British victory for 76 years in a grand-slam tennis tournament, a British victory in the Tour de France and an fairytale comeback by Europe in the Ryder Cup and it is easy to see why many sports commentators think we may never have it so good again.
The Times is the sports newspaper of the year and its award-winning writers covered all these amazing stories and many more. In this e-book you can relive these great stories as they were reported from press boxes around the world.
