About This Game
- Summary
- Specifications
- Features
- Game Editions
A free minigame included with the Wii Zapper, Link's Crossbow Training drops players into a world in the style of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Players assume the identity of hero Link, who progresses through a series of tests to perfect his crossbow marksmanship. Start with stationary bull's-eyes and graduate to moving targets before defending Link against all kinds of enemies.
- Minimum Requirements
- Wii Zapper (included), plus Wii Remote and Nunchuk required to operate
- Supported Functions
- Number Of Players: 1-4
- Local - VS # of Players
- Anyone can pick up the Wii Zapper and become a master marksman in the quick-play shooting galleries of Link's Crossbow Training.
- Dozens of fast-paced stages offer a wide variety of game play, from shooting stationary targets to defending a supply wagon from onrushing hordes of enemies.
- Multiplayer modes let players and their friends share a Wii Zapper to shoot for the high score.
- The control stick on the Nunchuk controls player movement (on stages that allow player movement), while simply aiming the Wii Zapper moves the targeting reticule on the screen. Pulling the trigger fires Link's crossbow. By aiming off screen, players can turn Link to face in a new direction (again, on stages that allow this).
- Link's Crossbow Training contains three basic game styles: target shooting, defender and ranger. There are 27 stages in total, and these categories represent only generally how each individual stage operates. Each stage's goal is to earn the highest score possible within the time limit.
- All rounds can be played with multiple players: Players pass the Wii Zapper around and then play one at a time and compete for the high score.

The List
The World's Ongoing Ecological Disasters
While it's probably still too soon to celebrate, BP appears to finally be getting the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico under control. But many of the world's greatest environmental catastrophes continue, with no end in sight.
Disaster: Oil spills
Going since: Around 1966
Damage done: The Deepwater Horizon incident may have been the worst oil spill in U.S. history, but it pales in comparison to the ongoing catastrophe that has afflicted Nigeria's Niger River Delta over the last five decades. As many as 546 million gallons of oil are believed to have spilled since oil exploration began in this region -- the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez spill every year.
There are around 2,000 official spill sites in the region, some of them decades old.
companies operating in the region blame thieves and sabotage for the
majority of the spills, though local activists say aging equipment and
lax safety are the cause of many of them. The number of severity of the
spills may actually increase in coming years as the industry moves into
more remote and difficult terrain in the delta.
It's not just the spilled oil that can be dangerous. Pipeline explosions, like in the one that killed more than 100 people outside Lagos in 2008, are increasingly frequent as well.
Disaster: Coal fires
Going since: 1962
Damage done: China's recent industrial growth depends heavily on coal -- the source of 70 percent of the country's energy -- a major reason why it recently became the world's largest carbon emitter. The country's mining sector is also extremely dangerous, killing as many as 13 miners every day. But nowhere is the danger of China's out-of-control coal addiction more evident than in the 62 raging underground coal fires that have burned in Inner Mongolia since the early 1960s.
Covering an area more than 3,000 miles long, China's northern coal fires are estimated to destroy as many as 20 million tons of coal per year, more than the entire annual production of Germany. According to some estimates, these fires could be the cause of up to 2 to 3 percent of the world's carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels. A new initiative by the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region aims to put half the fires out by 2012.
Inner Mongolia's coal fires may be the most severe, but they are hardly unique. An underground fire in Centralia, Pa., begun the same year as many of China's, is also still burning.
Disaster: Deforestation
Going since: 1492
Damage done: Haiti and the Dominican Republic share an island, as well as similar geographic and climate conditions. So why do severe storms and hurricanes -- not to mention earthquakes -- only cause horrific human tragedy on the Haitian side? One large reason is the almost complete destruction of Haiti's trees.
When explorer Christopher Columbus first landed in what was then dubbed Hispañola, around three-fourths of it was covered in trees. Today, 98 percent of its forests are gone -- one of the worst cases of deforestation in human history.
The main culprit is charcoal, by far the country's most popular fuel source, which consumes up to 30 million trees per year. The Dominican Republic has banned cutting down trees for charcoal and subsidized propane as a substitute, and the contrast can be seen in satellite photographs of the border.
Without roots to hold the soil together, hurricanes and earthquakes are much more likely to case deadly landslides. The erosion of high-quality topsoil has also devastated Haiti's agricultural sector, exacerbating its endemic poverty.
The list of challenges confronting Haiti following this year's earthquake is long and daunting, but if the country is ever going to stand a fighting chance, what it needs more than anything else is more trees.
Disaster: The shrinking of the Aral Sea
Going since: The 1960s
Damage done: Straddling the border of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, the Aral Sea was once the world's fourth-largest inland water body and home to at least 20 species of fish and a thriving coastal economy in the surrounding towns. In the early 1960s, the Soviet government built more than 45 dams and 20,000 miles of canals in an effort to create a cotton industry on the desert plains of Uzbekistan, depriving the sea of its main sources.
Over the next three decades, the sea shrank to two-fifths its original size, turning fishing villages into barren desert outposts. Thanks to the high salt content in the remaining water, all 20 fish species are now extinct. Drinking water supplies in the area are dangerously low and the ground contains dangerous pesticides from the cotton farms. When the wind sweeps across the now-dry sea bed, it spreads up to 75 million tons of toxic dust and salt across Central Asia every year.
Thankfully, dams constructed in the last decade on the Kazakh side seem to be leading to a partial recovery. The Northern Aral's surface span has grown by 20 percent and fish and bird species are starting to return. The Southern Aral, however, still remains a shadow of its former self.
Disaster: The Eastern Garbage Patch
Going since: Discovered in 1997
Damage done: Somewhere between California and Hawaii lies the world's largest garbage dump -- a massive soup of plastic and debris one-and-a-half times the size of the United States and 100 feet deep. The "patch" is the product of the North Pacific Gyre, a loop of currents that picks up trash from the West Coast of the United States and East Asia and funnels it into an endless loop in the North Pacific.
Within the patch, pieces of plastic outweigh zooplankton by a factor of 6 to 1, and are often mistaken by fish and birds for food. Chemicals from the plastic can also make their way into the food chain, including fish consumed by humans.
The patch is the most widely publicized example, but this is a global problem. According to the U.N. Environment Program the world's oceans contain 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile. These plastics are responsible for the deaths of more than a million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year.

Game of Thrones Articles
The Artist & The Khaleesi?!?
Wenn, FameFlynet
No Khaleesi! James Franco and Jorah Mormont: which is sh-t and which is diarrhoea? Page Six reports that James Franco and our Khaleesi were at an art fair in New York together on Saturday looking rather "friendly", suggesting that "friendly" is a euphemism for "flirty". Full Story
Resisting a Bear Pun
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 7 recap I had fun this episode. I cringed sometimes, and I winced, but it was the fun kind. This is the kind of episode you can't possibly explain to your friends who don't watch, because how to sum up that it starts with some light flirting and ends with a ring of brutality, and that's only the surface? I love the scorn Ygritte has for Jon Snow, on just about any given topic. Full Story
On Crampons and Crossbows
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 6 recap I worried there, for a minute. Lainey had put a bit of the curse in my head by talking about how happy Ygritte was, and how it spelled certain doom. Still I didn't believe – not until she started talking about how Jon Snow was hers and to be loyal to her and "I've waited my whole life to see the world from up there". Full Story
Dear Gossips,
After Tom Brokaw's remarks about the White House Correspondents' Dinner last year and specifically the presence of Lindsay Lohan being the reason why he decided not to go, don't you wonder about the people who turn down the invitation? Like, how many times has the Brange been asked to go... and said no? When the big names do make an appearance, have you noticed which ones choose to go for the full photo opportunity pimp and which ones skip the carpet and head straight inside? Hierarchy is in play in those situations too. More on this later.
It was a really, really busy weekend so we're getting an early start. Many of the photos from the White House Correspondents' Dinner have been posted directly to LifeStyle Read Full Intro
Jon Snow Knows
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 5 Well, there it was. All the sex we were waiting for – all the nudity finally arrived in episode 5, not a minute too soon. And of course, with the exception of the duel to the death in the very first scene, all that happened this episode was a bunch of people talking (what did Gramma Tyrell call Tyrion? A beleaguered banker?), so it was good that we had the sex, although raise your hand if you, like me, thought that with all the talk of sex and bedding and "how did you know what I wanted", we might finally find out the mystery of Podrick? But there were more important fish to fry in this episode, and so it came to pass that the least consequential of all the things was Jon Snow getting not-naked-enough with Ygritte in what is apparently a hot spring that they happened to have all to themselves. Full Story
Self-Possession, Strength, and Dragons
Wenn, Santi/ Splash
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 4 recap So there was that episode. Delicious! Pace like a …not a train, exactly, but a really satisfying stretch of highway where everything moves along and there's lots of stuff to look at. I had fun, and while sometimes having fun with Game Of Thrones means being terrified and wincing at the brutality, it's not like it can happen with any other show. Full Story
Advanced Family Dynamics 501: Chairs & Arrows
Game Of Thrones Season 3 episode 3 recap The chairs. Of course the chairs. And everything else that happened in only an hour. But before we get there, let's take a minute for the arrows – those arrows that couldn't find their target if they'd been directed by the Gods. Full Story
No Story So Good A Drink Won't Make It Better
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 2 recap ….except of course that this episode was kind of slow. Yes, characterized most by the fact that everyone is, or will be, on the move – but still basically a lot of laid pipe for what will be happening circa episode 4. What was nice about it, of course, was that we got a little breathing room to spend some time with the characters, assumedly so that when things start going fever-pitch later in the season we'll remember who was facing what particularly wrenching emotional dilemma. Full Story
Why is Sansa Still Alive, Again?
Wenn, Mike Coppola/ Getty
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 1 recap We're back! Delightfully, though it's been almost a year, absolutely nothing has changed in Westeros since we were last there, except for perceptions. I spent most of the fist episode going "okay, so here's who they didn't kill". Full Story
Kit's first lead
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty
A few members of the cast of Game Of Thrones, along with George R R Martin and showrunners, David Benioff and DB Weiss, were at the television academy yesterday in advance of the Season 3 premiere on March 31... Are you ready?!? Did I mention Arya is adorable in real life and Bran is SO pretty it's unfair? There's none of that Hollywood Machine Child to either of them. Full Story
Game Of Thrones is better than movie stars
Kevin Winter/ Getty
Covered the Game Of Thrones Season 3 premiere red carpet last night at the Chinese Theatre. The last time I covered a movie carpet at the Chinese Theatre it was Gangster Squad in January. The carpet was easily 4 times longer. And with 4 times LESS people. Or more. You can imagine how long the cast list was last night for GoT, right? We've been conditioned at these events to expect that they'll arrive just before the start of the screening and not stop and make you feel that they're doing you a favour by showing up and talking. Full Story
The Khaleesi & Jon Snow. Gidget to the left
Game Of Thrones on the cover of the new Entertainment Weekly in advance of... 03.31.13 Ready? It's been 10 months. YES, WE ARE READY. As you can see, it's the Khaleesi and Jon Snow paired on the cover...with the wildling Gidget, or whatever her name is, to the left, on her own. Full Story
Theon Greyjoy at the beach
Pretty sure no one else is going to care about this but my eyes bugged at these photos of Theon Greyjoy on the beach in Miami and initially I thought that this is actually how he dresses for real but it turns out he's shooting a movie which...I'm almost disappointed about because, well, look. Full Story
Jaime Lannister and Jon Snow after the Globes
They were at the HBO party. I just did a brief search for Rose Leslie who plays Gidget or whatever and she didn't come up although that doesn't mean she wasn't there since American photographers don't really recognise British actors, including Michelle Dockery who was mislabelled "Rumer Willis" for a while on Getty Images.

Thanks for the disable solution. Worked perfectly!

not sure what i'm doing wrong as well. but mine still vibrates when i get messages (even after disabling the notification).
How can u set a custom ringtone on the Handcent sms When the text arrives?
Two parts to this....
1) You can either use a Ringtone/Notification app such as Ringdroid or Mabilo.
I prefer to not use an app and customize myself. It's very simple. Go to your SD card and create two folders.... one called "ringtones" (all lower case) and one called "notifications" (again lower case). Now add the custom ringtone/notification tone or song you want to use into the appropriate folder. For Handcent this would be the "notifications" folder.
2) Open Handcent, press menu button, select Settings, scroll to 'Notification settings', then select ringtone. The custom file you added to the notification folder will be available from the selection list.
...if you want to create custom ringtones for each contact just open a thread with that contact and click on the icon on the top right hand corner of the app (looks like a person with a gear wheel in front of them)

Comments about EPSON� T034420 Inkjet Cartridge for Stylus Pro 2200; Yellow:
I use the Epson inks to print out my art images and photographs. They are great having a long life of not fading or discoloring.
Keep selling these cartridges!
By Draw Me Bill
from Quad Cities, USA
Even though this item isn't stocked at either of my local Staples, I was able to get the item I needed ordered and delivered quickly to my door. As long as I can order this, and the other cartridges for my Epson Stylus 2200 printer, from Staples, I will continue to shop there with confidence. The Moline Staples staff is very friendly, savvy with their product knowledge, and got me taken care of in no time at all. Convenient hours of operation also factored in to my decision to purchase the item.

This product is used to print images for archival documentation of museum objects. Cartridges are pricey no matter where you buy them but Staples is they only place that offers them at a good discount and that I also trust with my information. Their recycling program allows us to help the environment and save money. What a great deal!

It was billed as a potentially big game in the 1A WSL. Hotchkiss, rated fourth in state rankings a week ago, was unable to keep up with Cedaredge's pace late in the game and found themselves in a position they have not been in very often.
Trailing by one in the fourth quarter, Hotchkiss resorted to a passing attack that simply was not effective against the Bruins' pressure defense.
An interception by Austin Gartman on a halfback pass from Jacobe Galley all but sealed the deal for Cedaredge. Gartman returned the ball 16 yards to Hotchkiss' 49. After 13 plays and two touchdowns called back on penalties, the Bruins lost the ball on downs at Hotchkiss' 10-yard line.
Despite a two-touchdown night for Galley and nearly 200 yards of rushing, the Bulldogs just couldn't come up with a score late in the game.
Mickey Madaleno took the opening kickoff at his own five-yard line and took it to the Bruins' 35 to start Cedaredge's first offensive possession. First-down runs of 15 and 10 yards from Dante Markley and Carter Wasser got the ball inside Hotchkiss' 25. Three plays later, Markley hit Kyle Ward for 20 yards and the game's first score with 8:56 left in the opening quarter. Alejandro Alejandro kicked the extra point for a 7-0 Bruin lead.
Hotchkiss' first possession on offense began at its own 48. The Bulldogs moved the ball to Cedaredge's 32 where they bogged down and elected to go for the first down on a fourth down play. A penalty against the Bulldogs moved the ball back five yards forcing Hotchkiss to punt the ball away.
Each team had two more possessions in the first quarter with neither scoring points. Cedaredge led 7-0 going to the second stanza.
The Bulldogs were in possession at quarter's end and continued their drive into the second period. A Josh Hardin pass was picked off three plays into the period but was nullified on a Bruin pass interference penalty that gave Hotchkiss a first down at the Bruin 34. Galley scampered into the end zone from two yards out to culminate a 70-yard drive that took 22 plays. Galley's PAT kick tied the score at 7-7 with 1:58 left in the first half.
Cedaredge was hampered by penalties on its next possession and was forced to settle for a halftime score of 7-7.
Galley sparked the Bulldogs with a 48-yard second-half kickoff return to the Bruins' 37-yard line. The first play from scrimmage went to Trenton Tamayo who rumbled through the middle of Cedaredge's defense for 37 yards and a score. Galley's kick failed, leaving the Bulldogs ahead 13-7 with 11:44 left in the third quarter.
The ensuing kickoff from Galley went to Madaleno at the five-yard line. Madaleno weaved his way out to the Bruins' 45 where Cedaredge began its first series on offense following halftime.
Markley hit Madaleno for 12 yards and a first down at the Bulldogs' 30. Four plays later, Cade Wasser hauled in a Markley aerial for a 13-yard scoring strike. Alejandre's PAT kick failed, leaving the score tied at 13-13 with 8:18 left in the third quarter.
The Bulldogs began their next series of downs from their own 35. A run to the 44 set up a Galley scoring jaunt that covered the remaining 44 yards. Colton Farmer kicked the extra point and Hotchkiss held a 20-13 lead.
Reid Gates took the ensuing kickoff at his own five and danced his way to the Bruins' 37 for Cedaredge's next starting spot. Markley hit Cade Wasser and Gates for 15- and 21-yard receptions to move the ball to Hotchkiss' 22.
The Bruins lost five yards on a play that had the officials and chain gang confused. What was thought to be a first down near the 20-yard line was eventually ruled not a first down. The ball was spotted five yards back from where it was supposed to be marked, making the Bruins' fourth-down play a fourth-and-six instead of a fourth-and-less than one. Fortunately for Cedaredge, Markley rectified the call with a 25-yard option run for a touchdown. A two-point conversion was completed with a Markley to Cade Wasser pass to give Cedaredge the lead at 21-20 with just 3:22 left in the game.
Hotchkiss had the ball at its own 48 as the third quarter ended.
A holding penalty was whistled against the Bulldogs to start the fourth period. Galley tried his halfback option pass on the next play and was intercepted by Gartman.
Cedaredge took over at the Hotchkiss 49 and moved the ball to the 10 before the flags began falling.
Markley skirted his left end for an apparent touchdown that was nullified on a 15-yard penalty that moved the ball back to the 25. Two plays later, the Bruins had the ball at the 10 once again. This time, Markley threw a 10-yard scoring strike to Cade Wasser. The play was nullified on a five-yard procedure penalty that pushed the ball back to the 15.
Cedaredge was stopped short of a first down at the five to end the scoring threat.
The Bulldogs moved the ball to their 27 before losing it on downs.
Cedaredge was able to hold the ball for the remainder of the game to win a crucial 1A WSL contest 21-20.
A conversation with head coach Brandon Milholland began with his quote, "You couldn't have scripted it any better could you?"
When asked what were the biggest keys to his team's success in the game, Milholland was quick with his answer. "We had guys down with injuries and other guys stepped up to take their places. It was a big game for everyone and everyone pulled together. I've been coaching for 10 years and this is the first time a group of guys have pulled together with a total team concept. They are not selfish. Part of our success is the extra things we did in the summer. These guys are totally committed."
A visibly dejected Hotchkiss coach, Zac Lemon, had a response to what he felt the difference in the game was. "They were more physical than we were. We just didn't match their physicallity. Late in the game we (staff) also noticed there was a lack of emotional intensity."
Cedaredge, ranked sixth last week, outgained the Bulldogs 360-286 offensively. Markley was 13-21 passing with 130 yards and two touchdowns. He also toted the ball eight times for 107 yards of rushing offense.
Josh Hardin completed just one pass in seven attempts for five yards and Galley was 0-1.
In the rushing department, Carter Wasser was close behind Markley with 17 carries and 90 yards while Gates had 39 yards on 14 carries.
Galley was the game's leading ground gainer with 190 yards on 25 carries. Tamayo was next for the Bulldogs with 76 yards and 10 totes. Hardin ran the ball six times for 15 yards.
Defensively, Conner Beard had 13 solo tackles and five assists for the Bulldogs. Teammates Dustin Head and Galley had 12 solo and six assists and 10 and 1 postings respectively.
Randy Brown, principal at Cedaredge Middle School, noted that the last time a Bruins' football team had scored a victory over Hotchkiss might have been the 2002 season.
For those who missed this contest, it truly was a hard-played and closely-contested battle.
Conversations with both coaches prior to the game noted the concerns for their opponents. From coach Lemon, "We're concerned most for their team speed. They might have a little more than we do, but we may have them up front. It's going to be a battle."
Even though coach Milholland appeared confident, he had concerns about the Bulldogs' past record. "They have been in big games and know how to handle themselves under pressure. They are well-coached and highly competitive."
Both were correct in their thoughts and the fans had the honor of watching an outstanding high school football game under the lights on a Friday night.
Cedaredge is at Carbondale to face the Roaring Fork Rams on Friday, Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. Hotchkiss is also on the road for an encounter with the Lake County Panthers in Leadville on Friday at 7 p.m.

Interactive Transit Advertisment
This clip is of an interactive advertisment planted in a busy subway (SMRT/SBS Transit) station. It's basically a projector showing ads on the floor with interaction with the people walking by.
The future of advertising? This is a video of Interactive ads that manipulate when people interact with them. The video goes through a few different ads and shows different possibilities, including a ripple effect when people step on the orange juice and others where people can kick and move objects. It's a neat technology and a shame it's being used for advertising. I've said it before and I'll say it again: porn!

Biochem Sports Egg Protein Powder Chocolate -- 1 lb
Love this product
Not sure how previous reviewer made their drink. I never had a problem with it not mixing. Used blender, several frozen strawberries and 40 cal almond milk. It was a real treat. Even my husband loved it. No gritty texture or after taste. Try it!
February 20, 2013
Does not mix well
I just recently tried this product for the first time. I had compared the other egg white protein powders on Vitacost and for the price v. the quality the Biochem seemed to be the best.
While the taste wasn't bad, the product did not mix well and does not dissolve! Rather, the chunks float to the top and the rest of the sediment remains stuck to the bottom of your glass (and to your teeth and mouth). Even stirring continuously doesn't help.
So, unless you want to chew powdery bits instead of drinking your protein shake, I'd order another brand.

Trick Daddy Responds To Lil Wayne's Miami Heat Comments
Trick Daddy joins Uncle Luke by responding to Lil Wayne's recent diatribe against Miami Heat.
Lil Wayne has kicked up some dust with his comments against the Miami Heat earlier this week. After Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell fired back at Weezy, Trick Daddy is the latest to weigh in on the situation, stating that he'd rather make a call for unity than see anyone disrespect his hometown.
"I don't care who be offended by what I say. I rep my city and want nobody disrespecting," he said during an interview with 99 JAMZ. "We've got to stick together as radio, as artists, as DJs and fans who love the music as a whole. That's what makes a community."
Trick said that he has been speaking with Uncle Luke about joining forces, though it is unclear in what capacity. He continued by stating that artists from outside of the Floridian city will have to "check in" when they come to town and show more respect.
"Me and Luke been talking, we gon' get together, we gon' figure out some kind of way to this thing back on the road," he continued. "I can't go anywhere else. This my home. From now on, when they get in, they gon' have to start checking in, and they gon' start checking in by turning on 99 JAMZ and listening to us, what we got to say. They taking all our beats and rapping over them anyways."
This past weekend, Wayne went on a rant where he went against the NBA team and said that he "fucked Chris Bosh's wife." Luke later responded by stating that he was "way out of line," while the YMCMB chief clarified that he didn't mean to say "Fuck LeBron James" but stood by his other claims.

- Grants Categories
- Grant Information
Small Matching Grants
The 2016 Small Matching Grant Application period will be from April 1, 2014 through May 31, 2014. The 2016 Small Matching Grant Review Panels will be held July, dates to be announced later. The Panels will be hosted in Tallahassee, Florida, and can be attended in person or via webinar. Watch this space for additional information on time and dates for the meeting and registration for the webinar.
Small Matching grants are awarded annually for the rehabilitation and restoration of historic structures, architectural and archaeological surveys which include the recording of the sites in the Florida Master Site File, state historical markers , community education projects, and National Register nominations.
To assist in the identification, excavation, protection, and rehabilitation of historic and archaeological sites in Florida; to provide public information about these important resources; and to encourage historic preservation in smaller cities through the Florida Main Street program.
Types of Projects
Types of historic preservation projects that can be funded include
- Acquisition and Development projects
(including excavation of archaeological sites and building rehabilitation, stabilization or planning for such activities) - Protection and Education activities
(including surveying for historic and archaeological sites, and preparing ordinances or preservation plans) - Community Education projects
(such as walking tour brochures,educational programs for school children and videos illustrating historic preservation principles) - National Register Nominations
- Historical Markers
- Special Statewide Projects
State agencies including universities, cities, counties, units of local government, and not-for-profit organizations.
Application Period
April 1, 2014 - May 31, 2014
Review Process
Small Matching grant applications will be evaluated in the fall on a competitive basis by Grant Review Panels appointed by the Secretary of State. The applications are evaluated on historic significance, endangerment, appropriateness of the preservation treatment proposed, administrative capability of the organization, adequacy of technical and financial resources, educational potential, economic benefits, and public good resulting from the project. The projects are ranked by the panels within each project type with the #1 projects in each type being the highest priority for funding.
Grant Award / Requirements for Match
Small Matching grants provide assistance up to $50,000. The grantee is required to provide a matching share equal to the grant award in any combination of in-kind services, volunteer labor, donated materials and travel, plus cash-on-hand which must constitute a minimum of 25% of the total match.
Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI)
Under the REDI initiative, certain rural or economically distressed counties or communities are designated as REDI qualified pursuant to Chapter 288.0656 of the Florida Statutes. This qualification permits a waiver of match for REDI applicants.
The REDI program is administered through the Governor's Office of Trade, Tourism, and Economic Development. The list of counties and communities eligible for financial match waivers is reviewed annually and is available at the following location: http://www.dos.state.fl.us/grants/redi/index.cfm
If your county or community is REDI designated and you would like to request a waiver of match, please check the appropriate box on the grant application. Please note that the waiver of match is not available for Historical Marker grants.
Certified Local Governments
The Certified Local Government (CLG) program links three levels of government-federal, state and local-into a preservation partnership for the identification, evaluation and protection of historic properties. Designation as a certified local government makes historic preservation a public policy through passage of a historic preservation ordinance which establishes a historic preservation board to develop and oversee the functions of its historic preservation program.
Florida's Certified Local Governments are eligible to apply for federally funded Small Matching grants to assist their preservation projects. Funding is available, through the National Park Service, for projects such as surveys to identify and evaluate significant historic properties; nominations to the National Register of Historic Places; preservation education materials such as booklets, brochures, slide or video programs; and local historic preservation plans. Applicants must be certified by the National Park Service prior to submitting a grant application.

Molly Wood, executive editor,
tracks all things buzzable
in print, video, and podcast.
Tell her your buzz.
There are a lot of, shall we say, challenges facing the Internet as we know it--and before your eyes start to glaze over because you take the Net and the Web for granted and you don't think anything will ever really change, think about this. What if we ended up with a whole bunch of Internets? It could happen. Here's how.
This week, the news came out that Sony's been secretly installing Trojan-horse-like technology with its digital rights management (DRM) software--and doing it when you're just innocently playing a CD. We wish we could say we're shocked, but DRM's been creeping toward unacceptable for a long time now. Is it too late for consumers?
On October 8, robotic history was made: five fully autonomous vehicles completed a 132-mile desert course, turning a new page in the development of robotic vehicles that will help protect our soldiers and, possibly, you. How? By wresting the steering wheel out of your hot little hands. Are we ready?
So, ICANN was this close to approving .xxx as a top-level domain, when suddenly the politicians got involved. Seems like a pretty straightforward story of sex, politics, and the Internet, right? But why were Republicans (and the porn industry) singing a different tune five years ago? Molly investigates.
Bongs are not illegal. In fact, if you're one of the many consumers who prefer to smoke their tobacco through a water pipe, you can pick one up here, all over the Internet. How is that related to P2P software? Read on.
I've been reading all week about how Microsoft is going to crush RIM and single-handedly destroy the BlackBerry, thanks to its superfabulous announcement that Windows Mobile 5.0 will now include Windows Mobile Direct Push Technology.

I have a huge package of beef stew meat thawing in the fridge. I am sooooo sick of all my beef stew recipes. I want something different! Does anyone have any good suggestions of things to make with beef stew meat other than beef stew or beef/mushroom soup? Something with lots of unusual flavors - ethnic perhaps?

Beef bourginon is one of my favourite casseroles. It contains a TBSP of tomato puree but you could probably leave that out....you can't really taste it anyway.
I just realized you said no nightshades.
How about roasted beef and onions in a slow cooker?
3 Onions, peeled
1 lb beef stew meat
1 whole bulb of garlic, peeled (about 10 pcs)
1 T cumin
1 T tumeric
1 t cardamon
1 t oregano
1 t basil
splash Balsamic Vinegar
Pop everything in the slow cooker in the morning on low, then just before serving, separate (pull) the meat with a pair of forks.
Serve with steamed carrots and broccoli.

bloodorchid is always right
You don't have to make a stew if you don't want to.... I use cubed beef stew meat for kabobs sometimes. I do them Persian style (my bf is Iranian, his mom taught me how to make this): Marinate beef in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, saffron, and white onions, overnight. I never do any measuring, but I'm sure you could work out some ratios for your taste.
Then, stick 'em on a skewer, plop 'em on the grill (or a grill pan, or broil them in the oven) for juuuust a few minutes, because the meat can get tough very fast.
Traditionally, it's served with buttery saffron rice, spiced dill yogurt, and a roasted tomato (to mix in with the rice), but you can leave the tomato out. Honestly, this meat is good with anything... I could probably eat this nearly every day.
I like to brown stew meat in beef fat, add onions, garlic and saute until the onions start to cook. Then season with black and red pepper, cover and reduce the flame to very low. The meat juices draw out so the simmering liquid is minimal but very intense. We like root vegetables like beets, rutabaga, turnips, daikon, parsnips, and carrots.

Studying Hospitality Management
I'm interested in studying hospitality management. What can you tell me?
Hospitality management, which is also called hotel management, is the administration of lodging facilities like hotels, motels and resorts. In a hospitality management program, you will learn how to operate a hotel so that your customers feel comfortable while they are away from home.
While the idea of working in a glamorous resort may appeal to you, most people who study hospitality management work for hotel chains and small independent accommodations, which are known as limited-service hotels. You should also keep in mind that most hotel workers begin their careers in entry-level positions like guest reception and slowly work up to a management job.
You can earn hospitality management credentials at the undergraduate and graduate levels, although you may not need formal education to start working in the field. The amount of education that you will need is directly related to the size of the facility that you want to manage. For instance, a small tourist hotel may only require an undergraduate certificate. But if you want to manage a 5-star hotel, you will need to earn at least a bachelors degree.
Let's hear some other perspectives
Cristina Markusa
Student, Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management with Concentration in Hotel Tourism Management, Buffalo State College
"I would advise prospective hospitality management students to explore the different courses within their program before selecting a concentration. This is extremely important for first year students who may not know what they want to do yet."
Diane Withrow

"I would tell students who were interested in hospitality management that a degree in hospitality management can help them to advance in a very fun and enjoyable industry. Many hospitality workers do not have formal education in the field, so businesses seek hospitality management graduates for advanced positions because they understand accounting and have customer service training."
Hotel Manager Overview
What exactly is a hotel manager?
Hotel managers are administrators who oversee the personnel and behind-the-scenes operations of lodging facilities. Some hotel management tasks vary according to the size of an establishment. For instance, at limited-service hotels, managers often juggle many duties including working in reception, fielding guest queries, bookkeeping and maintaining the property. But at full-service hotels, managers oversee teams of employees like housekeepers, restaurant staff and guest service workers. And no matter what size facility they run, hotel managers use business and customer service skills to make guests comfortable.

Making the Right Choice

Before you decide to pursue a career in hospitality management, you need to think about a few practical considerations.
Unconventional Hours
Hotel managers are expected to be very committed to their lodging facilities. They often work long or odd hours, especially during popular traveling seasons. If you want to manage a hotel, you should prepare yourself to work some holidays, nights and weekends. And if you cannot be flexible about your schedule, hospitality management is not a good career fit for you.

Job Outlook
What is the job outlook for hotel managers?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 59,800 hotel managers employed in the United States in 2008. Employment of hotel managers is expected to grow by about 5% through 2018, which is slower than the average growth projected for all occupations. The low growth rate is attributed to an industry shift toward limited-service hotels, which do not offer amenities like food or parking services. Because limited-service hotels operate on smaller budgets, they require less staff and fewer managers. You may not need any college credentials to work at a limited-service hotel. But if you want to work at resorts or full-service hotels, a college degree in hospitality management will improve your job prospects.Profession | Employment 2010 | Projected 2020 | Average Growth |

It can take up to 5 years to become a hotel manager. But the amount of time that it takes to become a hotel manager varies considerably depending on what type of lodging facility you would like to work in. As a general rule, the bigger the facility, the more education you need.
If you want to work in an upscale hotel, you will need to earn a bachelors degree, which normally takes about 4 years and some work experience.

Even so, you may want to consider a certificate program in hospitality management, which will take 6 to 18 months.

What are the requirements for admission to a certificate program in hospitality management?

What about getting an online certificate in hospitality management?
Some schools have online hospitality management certificate programs. However, you should only earn a hospitality management certificate online if it has an internship component. Hospitality management is a field that requires close contact with customers, and you will not be able to learn the guest service skills that you need in this industry through a fully online hospitality management program.

If you are an independent learner, there is no reason not to pursue a blended hospitality management certificate program.
Associates Degree
An associates degree program in hospitality management will teach you the major responsibilities of a hotel manager, including basic principles of business, marketing and management.

When choosing a hospitality management school for your associates degree, you should look for a program that requires an internship so that you will gain relevant customer service skills and learn what it is like to work in this industry.
What about getting an online associates degree in hospitality management?
Some schools offer hospitality management associates degrees online. But keep in mind that hospitality management requires both business knowledge and customer service skills. While an online associates degree in hospitality management may provide you with the theoretical business knowledge that you will need, you will not receive practical people skills through an online hospitality management program.

Bachelors Degree
Earning your bachelors degree in hospitality management will prepare you to manage a large hotel or resort. But you should know that major lodging facilities often hire graduates as assistant managers and train them on the job before they can advance.

Bachelor of Arts BA
A BA degree in hospitality management has more liberal arts classes that provide a broad education. The BA is a good choice if you want to manage a hotel or earn a masters degree.

Accreditation is not mandatory, but it will assure you that you are earning a quality education. The official accrediting body for hospitality management programs is the Accreditation Commission for Programs in Hospitality Administration (ACPHA). However, a number of reputable hospitality programs are not accredited by the ACPHA, so you should not discount a particular program purely on the basis of its accreditation status. If you choose to attend a school that is not accredited, make sure that the school offers an internship component.
What about getting an online bachelors degree in hospitality management?
Many schools offer online hospitality management bachelors degrees, but you should not pursue a hospitality management bachelors degree online if it does not require hands-on experience or an internship. Quality online hospitality management bachelors degree programs recognize the importance of gaining practical experience within the field. Therefore, most online hospitality management schools require prospective students to have at least 300 documented hours of experience in the hospitality industry. And programs that do not require experience usually have an internship component, which means the degree is not earned completely online.

For the MS, you will take advanced courses in human resources, event management, food and beverage management and hospitality law. On the other hand, an MBA offers a general business curriculum with a concentration in hotel management. The MBA curriculum includes classes like global hospitality, real estate marketing strategies, accounting and finance. Many schools also require students to complete internships at the masters level.
What types of jobs can I hope to secure with a masters degree in hospitality management?

What should I consider when deciding on a school to earn my masters degree in hospitality management?
If you want to pursue a masters degree in hospitality management, you should look for schools that offer graduate internships. These programs will help you to apply your knowledge in a realistic work setting.

What about getting an online masters degree in hospitality management?
Earning a hospitality management masters degree online is a viable option if it requires you to complete an internship. You can learn business theory and management techniques in an online hospitality management program, but you will need an internship to teach you the hands-on management techniques for running a lodging facility. An online hospitality management school that does not offer internships is not a good choice. In addition, you should keep in mind that most online hospitality management masters degrees are MBAs with a hospitality management specialty, not MS degrees.
