Mental Health Policy Project Grants
Recognizing the critical role that policy work can have in improving mental health in Texas, the Hogg Foundation in 2008 began awarding grants for policy projects that address timely, meaningful mental health policy issues in Texas.Projects must tackle important issues that are likely to lead to improvements in mental health policies affecting Texas residents. The foundation also considers the extent to which projects address diversity or health disparity issues and involve mental health consumers and their families.
Policy projects funded by the Hogg Foundation have garnered the attention of policy makers at the state and national levels, resulting in positive changes in mental health policies affecting people with mental health conditions in Texas.
2013 Grants
- DePelchin Children's Center ($86,730) - DePelchin Children's Center will perform a study to assess Step-Down Care, a pilot residential program designed to promote crisis stabilization and avoid costly psychiatric hospitalization of children throughout Texas. DePelchin will also produce a policy brief and recommendations for changes to the Texas Medicaid program to include Step-Down Care as a reimbursable service.
- Mental Health America (MHA) of Greater Dallas ($121,730) - The proliferation of boarding homes in Texas has made sensible regulation of these facilities a growing priority for local residents, especially those with family members living in such homes. MHA of Greater Dallas has been successful in working for the implementation of guidelines in Dallas. With these grant funds, they will provide technical assistance to surrounding counties for drafting new ordinances. MHA of Greater Dallas will also develop a stand-alone website as a resource for communities interested in pursuing boarding home regulation.
- Mental Health America (MHA) of Greater Houston ($51,520) - At least five percent of children have a serious emotional disturbance that results in significant functional impairments that can affect both home and school activities, and many schools have struggled to meet the needs of these students. MHA of Greater Houston will receive funding for the second year of its School Behavioral Health Initiative, which convened a stakeholder group to develop recommendations to improve the prevention, identification and treatment of behavioral health issues among public school students. MHA of Greater Houston will provide technical and implementation assistance to school districts that agree to adopt the consensus recommendations.
- Texas CASA ($185,000) - There is a pressing need to improve mental health outcomes for children in the Texas foster care system. Texas CASA will use this grant to increase its mental health expertise, develop evidence-based policy recommendations regarding mental health issues for children in foster care and create effective advocacy for those changes.
- Texas Fair Defense Project ($52,640) - In the adult criminal justice system, the use of holistic mental health defense teams - multidisciplinary defense teams that include social workers and lawyers with experience representing offenders with mental health conditions - has been shown to reduce recidivism rates. The Texas Fair Defense Project will promote the use of these defense teams to represent juveniles with mental health conditions who are facing criminal charges. They will also work with local jurisdictions to develop new programs to provide holistic defense representation to juveniles.
- University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) ($159,150) - Serious mental illness among people who are homeless can significantly complicate efforts to aid them. UNTHSC will investigate, advocate and raise awareness about local, state and federal policies that often appear to be misinterpreted and misapplied to the detriment of individuals who are homeless and have co-occurring conditions. The project will promote policy reform in four key areas: communication gaps, lack of integrated policies, mental health disparities and patient rights.
2012 Grants
- Corporation for Supportive Housing ($140,000) - To assess the state's Medicaid plan and recommend policy changes that would enable Texas to obtain federal funding for supportive housing programs and services for people facing the dual challenge of homelessness and mental illness.
- Texas Impact ($130,350) - To educate faith leaders, faith communities and policy makers about the issue of solitary confinement and its mental health implications, and lead efforts to advocate for changes in state policies.
- Texans Care for Children ($86,467) - To bring together key leaders, stakeholders and experts to develop a plan and recommend policies for providing leadership, coordination and resources at the state level to support Texas schools in implementing positive behavior support strategies and practices.
- EveryChild, Inc. ($51,200) - To research positive behavior support strategies for children and adults with intellectual disabilities or mental illness in other states, issue policy papers on effective strategies, convene stakeholders to discuss what strategies might work in Texas, and recommend policy changes to support this approach statewide.
2011 Grants
- Blueprint for coordinating Bexar County's mental health system, Bexar County Commissioners Court ($162,854)

End of Shutter Lag? The Contax SL300R T* Might Be the Sign of Good Things to Come | |
Subject: | iPhoto? | |
Date: | 2004-03-21 17:34:47 | |
From: | kshortfl | |
Great review! This is exactlly the camera I've been looking for. however, I was wondering if this camera works with iPhoto? |
Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.
2004-03-25 13:08:15 carl_stawicki [View]
I was interested in knowing this myself, so I contacted their support, and they said yes, it does work with iPhoto. I'm seriously considering this camera also.
Carl. -
RE: iPhoto? -- You bet!
2004-03-25 14:21:15 Derrick Story | [View]
Works great with iPhoto. When you plug it in the USB port, iPhoto identifies it as "IOUSBCompositeDevice" and happily imports all the pictures. In the metadata for the images, iPhoto correctly identifies the camera as:
Maker: KYOCERA
Model: CONTAX SL300R T*
Software: CX- SL300R T*
All the normal metadata appears including exposure, compensation, flash, ISO metering pattern, and focal length.
Final bonus, since the Contax is a Mass Storage Device, it shows up on any desktop as a drive -- no software required.

PZEV Emission Warranty
Although PZEV vehicles are not required by all states, Subaru makes them available throughout the United States. PZEV vehicles are required to be sold in the following states that have adopted the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Low Emission Vehicle (LEV2) standards:
Only those PZEV vehicles sold and registered in California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont are eligible for the 15-year/150,000-mile emission warranty.3 (The states of Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington elected not to adopt the PZEV emission warranty.)
Vehicles with PZEV emissions ratings have such tight pollution controls, and the burning of fuel is so complete, that in very smoggy urban areas, exhaust out of the tailpipe can actually be cleaner than the air outside.
Today's SUBARU BOXER engine has evolved to a level that doesn't require many changes to earn a PZEV label. The differences between non-PZEV and PZEV certified Subaru vehicles can be found in two areas:
The catalytic converter for a PZEV engine utilizes a higher volume of precious metals than the standard converter. Although that makes the catalytic converter more efficient, it is also more expensive to produce. The PZEV engine's ECM program has been enhanced to operate the engine for reduced emissions.
At a relatively low cost, and without any special equipment, Subaru PZEV vehicles help their owners to contribute to the environment by emitting fewer pollutants to the atmosphere. These vehicles have the same fuel and maintenance requirements as non-PZEV naturally aspirated vehicles, so there's nothing unusual about their care. They do so for a retail price of only $200 more than a non-PZEV Subaru model.
To date, more than 150,000 Subaru owners drive PZEV vehicles.
1 SmartWay is a registered trademark of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 2 For 2009 Forester, Legacy, and Outback 2.5L, non-turbo models certified as Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) that are sold, registered, and operated in CA, CT, ME, MA, NJ, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT, and WA. PZEV emissions warranty applies only in certain states. See your dealer for complete information on emissions and new car limited warranties. 3 For all Forester, Legacy, and Outback 2.5L non-turbo models certified as PZEV that are sold, registered, and operated only in California and certain other states.

Climate change stories are all around, and the Charleston newspapers missed another one in their reporting on the Sutton Lake blue-green algae blooms.
As per the Gazette-Mail June 29 story, biologist Steve Foster of the Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identified the "scummy algae" from a portion of Sutton Lake as Anabaena, "a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria" (Wikipedia).
W. Holtcamp noted in Environmental Health Perspectives 2012 that, "The incidence of cyanobacterial blooms has increased worldwide and may grow even more widespread with warming climate."
As explained by T. Stecker in an April 2, 2013, Scientific American article concerning Lake Erie "blooms," climate change contributes to higher temperatures and to heavy rains that more effectively carry agricultural fertilizers into lakes, conditions which lake cyanobacteria find beneficial.
The unfortunate Bill Hunt's $40,000 loss on the Sutton Lake Marina exemplifies the economic costs of cyanobacterial blooms, which affect water sanitation, shipping and tourism.
As for the health effects of Anabaena, they are spectacularly awful.
EPA's Brian Milstead reports that one nerve toxin produced by Anabaena is BMAA.
BMAA has been associated with a bevy of degenerative neurological diseases, including Alzheimers, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
According to a story in the "Pacific Standard" of Jan, 5, 2012, "in New England, the rate of ALS doubles around lakes where cyanobacterial blooms have been reported. For people living around Lake Mascoma in New Hampshire, the prevalence of ALS was 10 to 25 times the normal rate".
No water facilities are known to test for BMAA, though it has been suggested it would be prudent to monitor BMAA concentrations in drinking water contaminated by cyanobacterial blooms.
The toxins can be removed with filtering, but at some economic cost to communities.
This story deserves to be developed in the pages of the Daily Mail and the Charleston Gazette.

Giro Rivet Glove $34.95
Light and supple.
There's much contributing to the quality of your ride, and gloves are one of the more important factors. A poorly placed seam, too much padding, or a closure that pinches the wrist might not be a big deal 15 miles in, but when distance really starts stacking up, those small annoyances can lead to irritation and fatigue. Luckily Giro has given the Rivet Glove extensive engineering, so you won't be left suffering from reduced blood flow, chafing, or numbness.
As an all-purpose, lightweight full-finger glove, the Rivet is designed to provide a layer of protection and comfort while enhancing grip and bar feel. That starts with a highly tailored fit -- what Giro calls Super Fit -- to eliminate excess material and bulk. This strategy is a proprietary process that guides the fit and design of every Giro glove for maximum comfort and performance.
Smartly cut panels including the palm, fingers and back hand reduce bunching and discomfort while boosting grip and bar feel. In fact, the palm features Giro's unique 3-piece construction that allows your hands to move naturally for enhanced control, articulation, and protection. The palm is constructed out of durable, supple clarino synthetic leather, while the back of the hand features a four-way stretch fabric for added mobility that also wicks perspiration to keep your hands cool and dry.
The upper thumb panel is a soft microfiber for wiping, while elastic cuffs are wide to prevent pinching, and use pull tabs instead of hook-and-loop straps for a low-profile, irritation free interface. The Giro Rivet Glove comes in sizes Small through X-Large.

Perfect for Downhill Riding
Brian Mehregan
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I downhilll mountain bike in these gloves and they have everything I need. The strategic padding keeps my hands comfortable after death-gripping my handlebars all the way down. I've fallen a few times with them and haven't seen a serious tear yet, which is pretty unreal as i usually go through 2-3 pairs of gloves each summer.
I know the review below says they could use more padding if you ride downhill, but unless you are racing national championship courses, I think they get the job done!
Great gloves for XC riding or Criteriums
Andrew T
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I picked up a pair of these gloves for XC riding, with plans to perhaps use them in Criteriums for a little extra protection. The padding is great, and the glove breathes really well. The XL was a bit snug to get into, and while I do have incredibly muscular, sexy, masculine man-hands, the XL fit comfortably once riding. If you are a crab fisherman the Bering Sea, or have similarly large hands and are used to wearing an XL, it may be worth going to the XXL. Also, if you are doing more aggressive all mountain or down-hill riding, you might opt for some gloves with more padding. For my purposes, they work great!

Kew Palace and the Royal Kitchens

Kew Palace
Did you know?
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 80th birthday at Kew Palace
A Royal retreat
Kew Palace has a rich history spanning nearly 400 years – from its modest beginnings as the home to a rich Flemish merchant, through to the arrival of the royal family and the 'madness' of King George III. Step inside and explore this intimate and beautiful royal retreat.
The first royal residents were George II, his wife Queen Caroline and their ever-growing family. However, Kew Palace will always be associated with the 'madness' of George III. The palace was purchased by the Georgian King as an annex to the White House (which sadly no longer stands) to accommodate his expanding family, and somewhere for George III to be shut away during his infamous episodes of 'madness'. Come and decide for yourself if the King really was mad.
The Royal Kitchens at Kew are open to visitors for the first time in over 200 years. Step back in time to 6 February 1789 when George III was given his knife and fork back after his first bout of 'madness'.
Queen Charlotte's Cottage, built for George III's wife, Queen Charlotte, as a picnic retreat in a quiet part of Kew Gardens, is open to visitors at weekends and on Bank Holidays from April to September. Find it near the Conservation Area.
Visitor information
- Kew Palace, the Royal Kitchens and Queen Charlotte's Cottage are now closed for the winter and will reopen on 29 March 2014
- During the summer season Kew Palace and the Royal Kitchens are open daily from 9.30am until 5.30pm (last entry at 4.45pm) and Queen Charlotte's Cottage is open each weekend and on Bank Holidays.
- When you visit Kew Gardens you can visit Kew Palace at no extra charge.

I visited today with a friend to see the newly opened Kew Palace and was very impressed not just by the building and restoration work but how well informed the guides were. We were lucky enough to come across the same woman three times and the depth and breadth of her knowledge really enhanced this fascinating trip. It was a very cold day but whoever she was braved the wind and cold and made our visit really enjoyable and informative. We also loved the kitchen and the cooking demonstrations. And the gardens and trees looked beautiful as ever even if things are a little late this year - full of promise. Thanks very much.

As Verger of St Mary's Church Bitton, Nr Bristol, I am keen to see if there is any way in which the connection with Kew that was developed in the 1800's by the Rev'd Ellacombe through his plant donations and work as a plantsman can be re-established. Rev'd Ellacombe wrote a number of books on plants including " In a Glos. Garden". He also hybrides a snowdrop and sedum. Your comments would be welcomed. Bob Willis

Thanks for your comment KT. We've done a little research into this and found out that after Kew Palace came under the control of the Board of Works Surveyor in the 1890s, the old kitchen block of the Palace was used as flats for staff. We think the old kitchen block is one of the outbuildings too.
KT says

Kew Palace was not divided into flats in the 1960s but some of the remaining outbuildings were. This included portions of the Georgian kitchens which our now cleared of tenants and under restoration. Also, Photography IS allowed in Kew Palace (just no flash).

As im sure you've already seen, a large number of the main gaming sites have had their Wii review consoles sent to them this weekend.
A lot of new information is surfacing, and below you'll find a nice little compiled list of some previously unkown features taken straight from the Wii manual.
From: Nintendo Wii Fanboy* "Up to 100 Miis can stay in your Mii Plaza." (pg. 11)
* "The Photo Channel can display a maximum of approximately 1,000 photos. If your SD card has more than 1,000 photos, remove the card from the Wii console and remove or reorganize your photos in your camera, cell phone or computer." (pg. 15)
* "You can not save or overwrite photos or videos on the SD card." (pg. 20)
* "Any of the options in Fun! mode [doodles, etc. -Ed.] can be applied to individual frames of a video." (pg. 21)
* The photo channel supports JPGs of up to 8192x8192 resolution and QuickTime files of up to 848x480. (pg. 22)
* MP3 audio is listed under supported formats. After quite a bit of searching, we figured out how this feature works, but we didn't like what we found (more later.)
* "NOTE: Your use of the Wii Shop Channel is subject to your acceptance of the Wii Users Agreement, the Wii Privacy Policy and the Wii Code of Conduct. Copies of the most updated versions of these agreements may be found at support.nintendo.com. [not yet - Ed.]" (pg. 24)
* "NOTE: Some Virtual Console games can only be played with a Classic Controller. (sold separately) [this seems to contradict previous confirmation that Gamecube controllers would work on all Virtual Console games -Ed.]" (pg. 25)
* "Software downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel is licensed to you, not sold" (pg. 25)
* "NOTE: The calendar displays dates from January 2000 to December 2035." (pg. 31)
* "NOTE: You will not be able to send photos from your Wii console to the PC/cell phone user." (pg. 36)
* "NOTE: The Wii console uses a 24 hour clock. For example, 1:00 pm is displayed as 13:00 pm" (pg. 42)
* The parental control features "does NOT control access to Nintendo GameCube games" (pg. 46)
* "If you use the messaging features of the Wii console, you need to understand that Nintendo may monitor your use and share certain information (i) as required by law, (ii) where necessary to protect the company, its customers or its employees, (iii) as necessary to provide the services. [Big Brother is watching -Ed.]" (pg. 47)
* "NOTE: The initial recommended distance for using the Wii Remote Pointer is 3 to 8 feet from the sensor bar ... Also note that the influence of direct sunlight and various light sources can make the Pointer operation less optimal. [Oh really... -Ed.]" (pg. 50)
* By formatting the Wii Shop Channel from the Wii's system menu, you clear all "records of your transactions and rights to download software." (pg. 61)
* "NOTE: You should format your Wii Shop Channel data first, then your Wii System Memory, prior to selling or otherwise transferring your Wii console to any third party." (pg. 61)
* "NOTE: Adjusting the speaker and Rumble settings will affect all Wii remotes currently connected to the Wii console. [I hope everyone likes the same settings. -Ed.]" (pg. 63)

This is definitely wrong. All diesel is, is gasoline with oil added to it. The oil makes it very hard to ignite. You can take a mixture of 60% diesel to 40% gas and still not be in a ratio that will sustain fire. Diesel's fire point (minimum temperature at which vapors will sustain combustion) is over 100 degrees. It is only classified as a combustible liquid. Adding gasoline will bring down the fire point temperature, but it would need to be at least 80 degrees and then it still won't be explosive. I work in a fire department, and our training fires we have used 50/50 mixes and haven't been able to light them. We now use 25/75 diesel to gas, and that provides the right mixture to ignite a room slowly and safely. My personal opinion on clean up is just to use straight diesel. I clean all my parts and tools with just that. But nothing beats just straight solvent. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Apr 1998 02:08:34 -0400 From: Claude King Subject: How much oil, What filter What is the average quantity of oil need for 7.3 diesel, I know the capacity, but how much really comes out?

Title: | Assistant Coach |
Phone: | (352) 588-8865 |
Email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Saint Leo University head women's basketball coach Nikki Jessee announced the hire of Andrell Smith as an assistant coach just before the 2013-14 season. Smith joined the Lions after graduating from the University of South Florida in May of 2012, where she played as a point guard for two seasons.
"Andrell has an impressive basketball pedigree," said Jessee. "She's won big at every level she's ever played at, and we're excited to have her bring that winning mentality to our program. With her vast playing experience, we expect her to make a positive impact on our players immediately."
Smith joined a Lions' basketball program that saw much success during the previous two years under Jessee's tutelage. During the 2012-13 season alone, the Lions made their first trip to the Sunshine State Conference Championship game.
Though new to the coaching sphere, Smith is very familiar with the game of basketball. During her two seasons with the USF Bulls, Smith was named Defensive MVP and selected to the All Big-East Second Team in 2013. In addition, her leadership skills earned her a spot as a team captain during her senior season.
Prior to her experience at USF, Smith was a member of the Gulf Coast Community College Team in Panama City, Fla. In two seasons with the junior college Smith's team won back-to-back conference championships and won the 2010 Junior College National Championship. In 2010, Smith was also named to the Junior College National All-Tournament Team.
The Lakeland, Fla. native also spent time as a basketball trainer and camp counselor for numerous organizations in the Tampa Bay area.
Smith earned her bachelors degree in Arts and Sciences from the University of South Florida in May of 2012.

"That's just the way it was when I was here," Winowich said.
Under the new restaurant rating system, sanitarians give each eatery a rating of excellent, good or fair compliance with the food code, depending on each business's critical and non-critical violations. The ratings are typed in big letters and color-coded: green for excellent, yellow for good and orange for fair. The form also lists the restaurants' critical and non-critical violations.
Health officials had hoped sanitarians would able to print inspection reports at the restaurants with the help of new software and portable printers. Kanawha-Charleston was one of 10 health departments in the state to receive the equipment as a part of a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For now, while officials work through some issues with the new equipment, Winowich is printing the forms at the health department and taking them back to the restaurants the next day.
"Hopefully soon we'll be [printing the forms] in the field," he said.
The pilot program for the rating system will last six months and affect businesses on Corridor G and in South Charleston.
"We hope we get lots of feedback [about the rating system]," Winowich said, "be it negative or positive."
Health-department officials will be accepting comments about the rating system on the environmental section of the department's website, http://www.kchdwv.org/Home/Environmental.aspx, by email at environmen...@kchdwv.org or by phone at 304-348-8050.

Gaming for Good
Monday, March 19th, 2012There's a whole new game to play out there in the nonprofit world. In fact, it's such an important trend that it's been given a name: Gamification. Whether it's planting crops on Facebook or unlocking badges on FourSquare game mechanics are working their way into all different kinds of businesses. So, is there a place for Gamification in nonprofit fundraising? I'd say so.
This past week at South by Southwest (SxSW) Interactive, HelpAttack!'s CEO, Ehren Foss, gave a presentation on boosting fundraising and engagement with Gamification. (Big thanks to Frank Barry of Blackbaud for including little ol' us!) Foss says, "It's really just behavioral economics," which nonprofits are already doing but via other mediums such as email marketing and matching donor contributions.
Simply, it's all about knowing your audience and connecting to them whether it be through more traditional marketing or through gaming. Games can be great! They draw you in and can make you interact more than a static Facebook page can. It gives someone an incentive to keep coming back. The competition can heighten the commitment and encourage donations. There's more motivation to share players' successes (and ipso facto, to share your cause).
A great example of understanding and appealing to your audience is PlayMob's GiverBoard, which allows players of social games to buy virtual products that are connected to a charity. For example, a Farmville player could buy a tractor that was linked to a specific charitable campaign. It then shows players how their gaming positively contributes to changing the world and does so through micro-donations, which can often be more reliable than infrequent, larger donations.
However, sometimes making a game that doesn't align with your mission can be really bad! It has to emulate your overall gestalt. Make the game informative and help players learn about your nonprofit while they play. Give them rewards for their playtime. But don't design a game that doesn't reflect your goals as a nonprofit.
So, with those precautionary words alongside some encouragement to participate, let the games begin!

Beautiful Waterfalls
The snow and rain had fallen pretty hard over the Sierra Nevada mountains and National Forest last winter. So even as late as may, there was still snow up to 10 inches in some areas of the park. This meant the water volume from the falls was high. we were excited to take the short hike to the bottom of the falls to see the water drop thousands of feet from above.
The falls is majestic, ranked fifth in the world, it is definitely worth the journey. The hike to the falls from the bus stop is short and is along a paved walk way. I found it easy to hike with my family and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing it.- Photography

Great Yosemite Falls Hike
From Yosemite Center, we took a bus to Yosemite Falls, right when you get off, is the beginning of the hike path, it's an easy one, cemented, perfect if you have small children in strollers. The highest waterfall of the U.S, Yosemite Falls, can be seen about a minute after you start walking, it's amazing! The Area is just beautiful, we stopped to have lunch next to this little river and took great pictures with the whole family!!

Highest Falls in North America, Part 2
The top of Yosemite Falls may be reached by a steep and strenuous 3.5-mile (5.6-km) trail of switchbacks near the Sunnyside Walk-in Campground. The top of the falls may also be reached via several routes from the Tioga Road to the north. Near the top of the falls, spray often generates a rainbow effect. Walking across the bare granite trail, one can find an overlook with railing that can also be seen using binoculars from the viewing platform at the base of the falls. While some have argued that Yosemite Falls is merely a "seasonal" falls, because it may dry up between late August and early September, this criticism is unfair given the granite strata of the Eagle Creek Meadow from which the water flows. Granite provides a very fast run off of snow melt, in contrast to earth soaked soils that feed other rivers and falls. In any case, Yosemite Falls is this parks most outstanding falls, and are best viewed between April and July.
UPDATE: See my other tip for Yosemite Falls, April 2011 for spectacular waterfall volume.- National/State Park
Yosemite Falls during April of 2011
The rain and snow in the Sierras was at record levels during the 2010-2011 winter season, and so by April, the flow of water over the cliffs into the valley was sure to be a big event. Here are some images of Yosemite Falls during 2011. Since my last writing, the falls have been reduced in world standing, for some reason. Once labeled the second tallest in the world, Yosemite Falls are now ranked as 5th in the world, behind Angel Falls (Venezuela), Tugela (South Africa), Utigord (Norway), Monge (Norway), Gocta Cataracts (Peru), and Mutarazi (Zimbabwe). However, within the world's top 20 tallest, Yosemite's Sentinel (12) and Ribbons Falls (18) are important. These falls, normally dry in late summer, were spectacular in April 2011. See the separate tips for Ribbon and Sentinel Falls.

There are so many vista points in Yosemite and the scenery is magnificent but the one sight that stood out for me was the sight of Yosemite Falls, one of the tallest falls in the world, the tallest waterfall in North America at 2,425 feet. Only the upper and lower falls are visible from the valley, with the center section hidden from sight. Easy to get to and you will know why this fall is named after the valley. It describes the essence of Yosemite. Wild and carefree, beautiful and exhilarating. You can stand, sit, or lay down and just watch the mesmerizing water drop off the top of the shear cliff and plunge to the pool below. The highest volume of water occurs in the last weeks of May and the first weeks of June, making for the best viewing.

Walking distance of the lodge
Falling thousands of feet, well maybe 1000 plus feet (300+ meters) but it's a long distance, then it falls over a second lip. Coming up to the bottom of the falls can be a wet experience. On a hot day, it's great.

Upper & Lower Yosemite Falls
The hike to the top of Yosemite Falls is a perfect example of a relatively difficult hike that you will see an incredibly wide range of people on. The Falls and the walk to their base are perhaps the park's most popular feature. This paved one mile loop is something everyone should do despite the crowds. The hike up to the top of the falls is another matter. It is basically a straight up climb out of Yosemite Valley that covers 2500 feet in 3.5 miles. It is strenuous and is icy in winter. You will see more huffing and puffing on this trail than perhaps any in the park.
I did it in 1994 and continued on to the top of El Capitan from there which was another 9 miles of relatively flat walking. The views were great and there was no one there so worth the effort. It was 24 miles round trip so a very long day trip but unless someone has climbed up the sheer face of it, it's unlikely anyone will spoil your solitude. There is a cool climber's chair made of stones to sit and have your much deserved lunch in.- National/State Park

Highest Falls in North America, Part 1
Arguably the highest falls in North America, Yosemite Falls is actually a cascade with three sections. The total 2425-foot (739-m) distance from the top of the upper falls to the base of the lower falls qualifies Yosemite Falls as the 6th highest waterfall in the world, according to Wikipedia. In Spring when the snow is actively melting within the Eagle Creek Meadow watershed that feeds the Yosemite Creek, the Upper Yosemite falls project off a V cut in the granite precipice in an impressive show of force and spray. The Upper Yosemite Falls (1430 ft; 425-m) themselves qualify as one of the top 20 of the world's highest falls, depending upon the method of measurement. In the middle section, well hidden from below by granite cliffs, is a casade over rock of another 675 feet (205 m). The Lower Yosemite Falls (320 ft; 97-m) provides the final drop that is easily viewed by tourists from a viewing platform and bridge below. The Lower Yosemite Falls are surprisingly broad, and can generate a larger volume of mist below, as the water crashes onto a a jumbled assembly of huge boulders at the foot of the falls. The paved trail and boardwalk from the parking lot make the falls accessible by wheelchair, and there are a variety of spur viewing spots from which great images can be taken.

Yosemite Falls--Just A Trickle
Visit in the Spring and you will experience a thundering Yosemite Falls. Stop by in July or August and you'll see just the merest trickle sliding down its side. One of the world's tallest falls just sort of fizzles out in the summer!
While my husband and grandson hiked to the Merced River, I set my sights on Yosemite Falls. Our base was Yosemite Village that afternoon, so we headed out in opposite directions.
After walking about ten minutes, I came to a viewing sight containing benches upon which a number of people were seated.
This area overlooked huge boulders strewn about a dry creekbed, which led to the base of Yosemite Falls. Several people were climbing their way to the falls, so I joined in (picture 4).
Being of short stature and having legs to match, stretching myself up and over these BIG boulders was a real effort!
After about 25 minutes, I had managed to get close enough to the Falls to take photos 2 & 3. Enlarge them and look closely, you'll see thin ribbons of water dribbling down its steep sides.
FYI: Snowmelt primarily feeds Yosemite Falls, whose ample flow peaks in late May and dries up in the hotter months of the year. Around November, the snows come and supply the falls with vast volumns of water once more (picture 5).
Three falls actually comprise Yosemite Falls:
Upper Yosemite Falls-1,430 feet
Middle Cascades 675 feet
Lower Yosemite Fall 320 feet- Family Travel

Yosemite Falls Hike
This is the toughest hike that I took at Yosemite. It's about seven and a half miles, with a vertical climb of over 2,000 feet. It's a serious challenge for even the fittest hiker, but the view is awesome, especially from the top. Take your time; it's too easy to slip and fall on your face. Allow at least several hours for this.

Yosemite Falls
This is, after Angel Falls in Venezuela, the tallest waterfall in the world. It's especially spectacular during the spring, after a heavy snowfall. As summer progresses, it often slows to a mere trickle, and may even peter out completely.
The bottom of the Falls is only a short hike from the trailhead. This is one of Yosemite's most famous--and most visited--attractions. During the tourist season, it gets very crowded.- National/State Park

Yosemite Falls
Yosemite Falls is the 6th largest falls in the world in terms of total drop from the top to the bottom (or 19th if you believe www.world-waterfalls.com). The total drop is 2,425 feet, but the main upper falls comprise 1,430 feet, followed by the 675 foot middle cascades, and finally the lower falls at 320 feet. Yosemite Creek flows over Yosemite Falls and is fed mainly by snow melt from the higher elevations, meaning the falls rarely run after late summer.
I caught several views of Yosemite Falls from the valley along Southside and Northside Drives. The area directly in front of the entrance to Curry Village is probably the most popular vantage point with cars pulled off to both sides of the road from sun up to sun down. Use caution driving though here as the speed limit is 35 mph, but people will often stop in the middle of the road to take a photo.
From the valley floor, only the upper Yosemite Falls are visible. You can catch a glimpse of the lower falls from the John Muir Trail near Vernal Falls. The best views of Yosemite Falls are from the Lower or Upper Yosemite Falls Trails. The lower trail is an easy 2 mile round trip out-and-back trail. The upper trail is a strenuous 7.2 mile round trip out-and-back with a 2,700 foot climb. -
Didn't even look like a dripping tap???
The base of Yosemite Falls is an easy walk from Shuttle Bus #6 near the Yosemite Lodge. Impressive views of both the upper and lower falls are seen on the path to the base. The 2 Yosemite Falls, and and intermediate cascade, drop 2425 feet and combine to make this the tallest waterfall in North America.
We definately enjoyed the views and tried some of the foot-paths. The biggest surprise we had was when we arrived near Upper Yosemite Fall. We heared from a lot of people that this fall is very impressive because of it's powerful falling mass of water.
When we arrived near the fall it didn't even look like a dripping tap. It was completely dry. We learned that the falls are only really active in the spring when the melting glaciers are providing lot's of water for the falls in Yosemite.- Historical Travel

The falls are just beautiful
How does one describe the falls. Well, lots of water, crashing down to create one of the most amazing scenes in nature.
The falls are created from Yosemite Creek and fall a total of 2,425 feet, consisting of Upper Yosemite Falls and Lower Yosemite Falls. -
Gone in the fall....
The highest waterfalls on the continent is actually made up of three falls that are on top of each other - they fall nearly 2,500 feet! Unfortunately, they are most powerful right after the snow melts in the spring and can be completely gone by the fall. You can still see where the water stained the rocks, but it requires a lot of imagination to get as much out of the experience!
There's a very short trail to the base of the falls, but you can also hike a fairly difficult trail up to the top.

Hi Broncos Country! My name is Katie W. and this is my first year as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader. As a rookie, I am still taking it all in and am thankful every day for the opportunity to be part of this team. In only half a season, this team has given me unforgettable memories, the most rewarding being those that touch others lives. Through the Broncos organization, I have experienced this first hand either at a home game, community event, or one of our own fundraisers like Keeping Kids on Track.
I would like to share a story about one occasion that is particularly special to me. Every practice we are in routine of checking for upcoming appearances and charity events to sign up for. As I was browsing through the dates and times, there was one event that especially stood out: the Ian Wallace Memorial Golf Tournament. My stomach dropped. Ian Wallace was a good friend of mine that was killed in a car accident our senior year of high school. Unfortunately after college I had lost touch with some of our friends and his family. I knew then it was not just a coincidence that I was being connected back to these wonderful people.
Ian's parents had no idea that I was a Broncos Cheerleader when they requested our attendance at the event. Their reaction when I showed up was unforgettable. I spoke at the luncheon following the golf tournament and reminded everyone to truly be grateful for the life we each live, never take anything for granted, and appreciate each moment, because you never know when it will be your last. I encourage you all to live this way as well and truly ENJOY life!
In memory of Ian James Wallace, Live Life & Love Life!
Katie W.

I was reading about Spring's bean declaration and how you use Factory-method to pass the instance to the bean declaration when the class has no public constructor...
package com.springinaction.springidol;
public class Stage{
private Stage(){
private static class StageSingletonHolder{
static Stage instance=new Stage();
public static Stage getInstance(){
return StageSingletonHolder.instance;
after a few more lines i found the below text..
Spring's notion of singletons is limited to the scope of the Spring context. Unlike true singletons, which guarantee only a single instance of a class per classloader, Spring's singleton beans only guarantee a single instance of the bean definition per the application context—nothing is stopping you from instantiating that same class in a more conventional way or even defining several declarations that instantiate the same class.
I do not understand how this can/would be done..Could some one please explain?

Remember hope chests? My mother had one by Lane, I think, once the best-known manufacturer of such furniture. Hers, like so many, was lined with cedar. (Lane still makes cedar chests, I was surprised to learn; see a sedate example at left.)
I still remember the cedar aroma that wafted out of the chest whenever we opened it to remove a wool blanket or an afghan. In my memory, special seasonal treasures were kept in the cedar chest, brought out only a few times a year when needed and kept safe from moths in the chest when unused.
My twin sister inherited the chest and kept her afghans and blankets there, too. Afghans especially are prized in our family because they're one of a kind, handmade by someone with love and care. So that's what the cedar smell dredges up from my memory when winter rolls around and we need an afghan from the chest!

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Had on-tap at Bonefish Grill Asheville. Served in a tall slim glass.
A- Pours a medium amber color with a 1/4 inch off-white head that retains well before becoming a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a full sheet of surface foam. Resilient lacing leaves a thick ring behind
S- Mild hop aroma of grass and pine with some toasty malt beneath.
T- The bitterness starts out subdued which is proper for an English IPA but, after a while, it starts to creep in more and more letting you know this was indeed made in America. Still, there's a solid malt backbone rounding everything out and bringing a nice sweetness to the table.
M- A bit sharp from the hops and slightly dry. Medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the fuller side.
O- A very solid, sessionable IPA from one of Asheville's mainstay breweries. I like that they go the English route while a lot of other Asheville breweries do a decent American style IPA but they all end up tasting the same for whatever reason. This one sticks out.

Smartphone shipments surged in 2010
Apple and Android ate into the world smartphone market share of both Nokia and BlackBerry boys Research in Motion during 2010, though since everyone is selling more handsets than ever before, none of them should complain. The figures come from market watcher Strategy Analytics, and they see 2010 closing with Nokia taking 34.2 …
Hopefully the end of handset monopolies
Whilst there are different versions of Android around, some better than others, it's a good thing IMO that many handset manufacturers effectively share 3rd place and below.
More consumer choice and not at the mercy of any one manufacturer, who might ditch a particular technology on a whim.
