Three of the chalets were opened in December 2010. Depending on your needs you can rent individual rooms or a whole chalet. Each chalet has its own wellness area.
The restaurant serves homemade cuisine, exclusive grilled dishes and Alpine tapas. The Cervo is situated at the end of the ski slope.

At the CERVO you are very close to nature and – if you wish – also very quickly in the town centre.

I am posting this for someone else who lives in Italy. Here is his question: My two wells both have submersible AC pumps (here in Italy 220 VAC) and I want to convert one to a solar powered submersible pump, so I can come off the local water supply network without incurring additional power costs, not to mention the satisfaction of having my own independent water supply, green and carbon friendliness etc, etc. Researching on internet and getting some quotations, 24 VDC submersible pumps are very expensive here in Europe, almost 4 times as much as an AC pump. It occurred to me to use an inverter with the solar system and use an AC pump, but I wonder about the reliability and efficiency of this approach. I haven't done the calculations for how big an array with an inverter, I should imagine a bit bigger then the DC pump, due to energy loss etc. My gut tells me that the DC version will be a better solution in the long term, if nothing else one less component to break down, and the DC pumps designed for solar come from a companies dedicated to the engineering of such (one Danish, one German) rather then a mass producer of pumps. Reliabilty is what I am looking for. However if an inverter system (and I have no experience of these things) works as well and is a lot cheaper, my local pump & well shop is very good at servicing plain old AC pumps. With the DC pump I would need to send it off to the service agent somewhere in Italy. What should I get for my solar pump? asked Jun 29 '11 at 15:02 Kevin Kelly |
DC can run directly from a battery source, so if you're composing your circuit, maybe you should consider just charging your battery source via solar + grid and get the DC pump. The DC pump is likely more robust. linkanswered Jul 18 '11 at 05:59 Christopher |

2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience
somans Posts: 10This evening, I bought a 2013 Accord Sedan LX with splash guard, wheelocks and strip line across for 22381in NJ. with .9 per cent financing. White color.
I have been in the market for about a month and last weekend, I agreed for 22800 for a sedan with splash guard, but the dealer changed the mind, at the last moment. They wanted 23000.
This agency was just gr8 I was out in 2 hours. -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,277Just wanted to post my deal from Feb 28th. Picked up today after 10 great days of Golf.
EXL V-6 Sedan= $775 below invoice. with Splash guards and Wheel locks
Reduced Doc fee's to = $25
3 Free Oil Changes
DMV plus N.Y. taxes.
Dealers in Boston, Delaware, and M.d were just under 1000 below invoice for the EXL V-6. None of these dealers were willing to remove doc fee's.
Honda added a nice touch.. putting the parking brake in the Center Console.. MORONS!!!!!!!!!
If you guys want a great wax... check out... P21s its one of the best waxes i have used over the years . You could wax the Accord in 25 mins its effortless. I like it better than the Zaino wax. your cars will Shine and Reflect like a sheet of wet glass.
Make sure you use a clay bar first on the car before waxing.2013 Genesis 5.0 R-spec, 2013 Accord EXL V-6, 2012 BMW x-5, 2012 ML350
gameshowlover Posts: 22Purchased a 2013 Accord EX CVT Sedan for $23,000 (including destination & wheel locks), a little over a thousand under invoice. Plus $75 doc fee and New York taxes/DMV fees. Was offered a 7 year extended warranty through Honda for $1145 which I declined. I believe I got a very good deal, prices will continue to come down as we come into summer and then again right before the 2014's come out. Did anyone beat this deal? Yes I am sure others did better, but my aim was to get a good deal, not the best deal out of anyone out there ever. BTW the car has Michelin Primacy tires, I believe alot of the newer EX's with higher VIN numbers and later build dates will be coming with Goodyear Assurance tires. I financed through American Honda at 1.9%, could've down better through my credit union, but being as I got a good price, the dealer makes a few hundred by me financing through them and they have to make some money on the deal. Thought the deal would have been smoother, I like to buy the car and pickup all in the same day, and take less than two hours, but the salesperson was very nice and went out of his way to help me out. I will give top ratings on the Honda survey and hopefully this will help him out in return.
vba123 Posts: 30Nice Deal What Dealership?
I also paid $23037.00 and $75 doc fee. No trade. 1.9% 60month thru Honda.
No wheel locks though. Instead got 2yrs of Hondacare Oil changes included.
I agree with you some people will do better in price than others and if you are satisfied with the deal just enjoy your car.
This forum helped me a lot to gauge the current market. I would not have been able to get the deal without reading here first. -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,277G/lover
You made a nice deal on the Ex model. I was glad my EXL did not have the Good for One year on my Accord. The Mich / tires will ride better and be alot quieter than the goodyears. That one month Waiting made a big difference in $$$$$. Buying on march 31 should prove to be worth the wait for buyers looking to buy now..

iflynrv Posts: 1i've now drove my new accord for 4,000 k (i'm in toronto). This is my 4th accord and 7 honda vehicle. Without question this is by far their best model and is leaps and bounds ahead of previous models. it extremely quiet, in the city or on highway at any speed. My model is the top of the line - touring - which is new this year). I'm averaging 8.5 l / 100 with a mix of 90 highway and 10 / city. i have the 4cy model. i was concerned about the cvt transmission but it doesn't have the highway drone nor does it feel like a rubber band. i keep it in the eco mode and it doesn't feel short of power and will easily cruise at 120 ish on the highway all day long. i paid 32,850 plus taxes, i got about 1600 off of list and had to order the car re: colour wanted it took 6 weeks, i'm glad i waited. i also got the honda installed remote starter, it works well.
the car has heated front and back seats, drivers seats had 8 way adjustments. gps incl, youtube the car and you can view a lot of neat features on the car, i admit i'm a honda product fan but this car feels the best screwed together accord ever, it really is worth a test drive. -
whatcar2buy Posts: 35There's a touring with 4 cyl CVT? Not in the US, atleast according to Honda's website. It only comes with the V-6 (adds a couple of features to the EX-L V6). Maybe in Canada, Honda is selling touring with 4 cyl CVT ?
Your units are killing me . I don't blame you though. We're kind of stuck with mpgs here so your 8.5 litres/100 km translates to about 27.7 mpg. if you check the other thread with Accord real world MPGs, I have seen people with V6 EXLs post higher mileages with mostly highway driving. If your model is 4 cyl CVT, we're not comparing apples to apples (although I was under the impression you'd get better fuel efficiency with 4 cyl CVT). -
mikeynotmickey Posts: 1Basque Red Pearl II w/ 54 miles on the clock
$22,629 incl/ destination, 7yr/100k mile warranty, and body-side moldings. No trade. 1.49% through local financing. Contacted every dealer within 50 miles of me and also used Carwoo to try and get best price. Only quote I received under what I ended up paying was $22,329 from a dealership 3 hours one way from me. Needless to say it wouldn't be worth 6 hours driving. I did everything by phone and email. I signed everything and left with vehicle in under 45 minutes. I did all my communication with the internet sales manager, Jim Aycock, at Rusty Wallace Honda in Knoxville, TN. -
trusso69 Posts: 68That's a great price for the Sport in my fav color combo red/black. i am also using carwoo and can't get a great deal on a Sport model. Dealers are trying to get me to go with either the LX or the EX with bigger discounts than the Sport. Still have some time to decide. Enjoy driving my car
How would you value the Honda extended warranty (7yr/100k)? -
brian125 New york / S.C. myrtle beachPosts: 3,277I spoke with Herb Chambers on Feb 27th. I asked them for 1100 below invoice price with reduced doc fee's for the sale to buy that day. Herbs best price was $983 below invoice plus doc fee's off 289. Chambers has 3 dealerships i would call on march 31 and see if he will make that same deal or beat that price.

goodgal Posts: 3I hope this is a good offer. Tomorrow I will finalize by 4:30 so if anyone can help with the deal, please do!
OTD cash price of $27,000 with options of wheel locks, splash guards and trunk tray.
This price includes the 3%NC sales tax, title, doc fee , license plate.
I am confused about invoice. I did tell the dealers I talked to that I planned to contact dealers in NC & SC so not to waste my time. Should I go for this deal of ask more off??PLEASE help! -
532 Posts: 6Guys,
Need some help here. Just got two quotes. 2013 Accord Sport (CVT) $22,729.00; 2013 Accord EX (CVT) $23,837.00. Prices include destination charge. I'm in upstate NY. This was an answer to my first email to the dealer.
Do you think they'd do better if I continue to negotiate? Any tips would be appriciated. Also I'm still not sure about CVT or Manual. Any thoughts? -
dg4 Posts: 18If it was your first email, you will do better by doing another (and possibly) few more rounds. Send emails to more dealers (even those that are 100+ miles away), once you get replies, select lowest 3 or 4 dealers, let them know that they are lowest, and ask them to offer their best price. I got a very good deal last year by doing so.
chunky_mike Posts: 5I didn't think the EX was worth the premium for the features that I wouldn't use. The price is ok- what is the out the door price? I forget if my price included destination fee. Either way you can't go too wrong but I suspect you can do a better price. Try comparing with other local dealers.

benjaminh Posts: 1,793If you like driving a manual, then Hondas are the best. Better than BMWs. No kidding. Smooth and jewel like, and just fun to drive. I drive a manual 2008 Accord and enjoy it.
The manual gets you faster acceleration if you drive it really aggressively. It's about 1 second quicker 0-60 than the CVT, although I personally wouldn't want to push my car that hard.
My next Accord is going to be a CVT. I'm keeping the manual for myself, and getting a CVT for my wife and teenager. The CVT has the ease of operation that comes with an auto. Even people who know how to shift (like my wife) sometimes don't want to.
The CVT also gets better mpg, esp. on the hwy, because it can rev. about 600 rpms lower at 70 mph than the 6 MT.
They both have advantages....

Our plans for the summer include a camping trip to Gulf Shores in June, a camping trip to Fort Wilderness over the fourth of July and another trip to Gulf Shores at the end of July. Then it is back to reality when school goes back and football and cheerleading start again!
The biggest challenge for me I think will be eating out, but we will be camping so mostly eating at the campsite. Jennifer |

I bet your son will love the graveyard tour. It's pretty cool just walking through the old graveyard during the day. I've heard the pirate museum is good too. Dona- that doesn't sound like a fun summer. It's good you're planning ahead to find things to keep you busy after the surgery, and hopefully it won't keep you down too long. I've not been to the Basketball museum in Springfield yet either, but had heard recently they were in financial difficulties, so I want to go soon.

Today's QOTD is a two part question. Tell us a little about yourself and your goals for this challenge.
Hi, I'm 46, and married to a great guy. We have been together for 25 years and married for 14 years. We are left coasters and I think we live in paradise. I'm an office manager for an auto dealership. I've worked there for 24 years. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am currently doing WW and have done it in the past as well. My current loss since my most recent WW return is 32 lbs. QOTD -- What are your plans for the summer? How will your plans help or hinder your goals for this challenge? We don't really have any summer plans. Our long vacation this year is spending a week in the Eastern Sierras for our fishing trip. The wonderful part eating wise on this vacation is we are staying in a cabin that has a full kitchen. We will be preparing all our meals. |

QOTD -- What are your plans for the summer? How will your plans help or hinder your goals for this challenge?
I have no specific plans for the summer. I'm hoping that a friend from the WB PC cruise will make it up here for a camping visit, but she hasn't finalized her plans yet. Other than that, have lots of work around the house to do. I am hoping to find a different job and move, but no guarantees when the right opportunity will show up. DH got the Wii working for me, and I'm down 0.4lbs.

Well I went to the pool today to find there were classes so I couldn't swim so I got on the low exercise bike thing and did 20 minutes. Didn't feel it was enough so tried 3 different treadmill's fat burner programs- well--tried to figure out 3 only to have one sort of figured out then it got an error so I tried this weird swingy/bouncy thing that seemed posessed and proceeded to kick my rear end for about 40 minutes so I ended up exercising for an hour and 15 minutes. Sat in the jacuzzi for about 20, that was nice but wanted to go to a Scottish festival that was actually really close to our house and did.
Was planning on eating something good there but spent $24 on a great dragon long sleeved shirt for my son who is a 3x so hard to find great clothes for decent prices and spent all my money lol. Got to hear my bags though--really love my bagpipes nothing like hearing them Loud right in front of ya ;-) So-- did well on eating dinner when I got back. Had leftover meatloaf and a great salad. I was planning on having a hot chocolate and a few chocolate cream sticks as a snack a couple hours later, but started watching the repeat of this weeks biggest loser and remembered I had bought a big thing of kiwi's at Costco so had 2 of those and a glass of wine and I'm fine. I remembered when Jillian visited Helen and she had fruit everywhere-- I do like fruit. It's farm season! I intend to visit the farms at least once every 2 weeks this summer. I would like to get up to Portland in July when the disney Christmas Carol bus visits. It'll be there before the 4th and that's when we like to go up there to cross the border to get the Good fireworks lol. I was hoping to get a yurt on the coast for that week but was disappointed to find them all rented months ago. (now we know jeez) We like the fireworks around where we live though it's kind of all week everywhere so I asked for the week off this year. Soo- I guess the week of the 4th will be fun and something to look forward to. It's kind of a bummer for me though because I'm from Illinois and the 4th was such a huge deal there and REAL summer if you know what I mean. It's always cold here later...doesn't seem right. And there's no lightning bugs.......at least Washington has those real gold sparklers- not the stupid flare things Oregon sells. I bought a swimsuit at Costco- a size down from what I was and the dumb thing is kind of loose on the top lol. Oh well- it'll just take some adjusting and I didn't spend much on it if I do lose more weight..:-) I was wondering if I should buy a size 12 instead of 14 but I really hate trying to get a tight wet suit off yech. All of my clothes are getting too big-- it's kind of overwhelming right now. I was hoping to start finding great stuff on the Target clearance rack but everything I've been seeing is ugly. I'm going to be very picky choosing clothes. I know fitting into clothes I love is going to be amazing motivation to maintain. I did manage to grab my bike when I got home today around 4 and hit a few garage sales around my neighborhood. (raided husbands wallet) Didn't find any clothes but I think I will go out of my way to start looking at Craigs list and the paper for garage sales this garage sale season like I used to and ride my bike around to them. I can also use our gps now too to make it easier to drive 'em and go with my Mom and her friend when they go.

Bibbidybobbidyboo- Have a fabulous trip.
59sJayne- Nice work on the exercise and eating. Sounds like some interesting machines at your gym. Be careful you aren't injured. Fruit is so good, and the local fresh fruits will be coming soon. I made my shopping list, and raspberries are half the price they were last week, so we'll pick up a bunch of them. They're my son's favorite, but I wouldn't pay the crazy prices. Luvbaloo-Congrats on the loss!! Everyone who has the wii, loves it. I might get it for my son and me next dec b-day/xmas. Tink1963-congrats on 32 pounds!! That's awesome. I have had 2 days completely on track, and checking in here really helps motivate me to stay that way. I'm off the the grocery store, and then we're going to see Monsters vs Aliens, and a soccer game this afternoon. It looks like the rain is stopping. Have a nice sunday.

I missed a couple of days checking in, looks like everyone has been busy. We had yearbook meeting yesterday trying to get everything finished up so we can get it submitted this week. It has been a lot of work for the students but they have done an amazing job. I had a couple of nights of not sleeping so well and that caught up with me yesterday as well. Today is a new day, ready to get more focused on my exercising, drinking water and better portion control. I too need to focus on eating more fresh fruits, veggies are never the problem but the fruits I just don't seem to get in.
Going to get caught up on the QOTD's now... Today's QOTD is a two part question. Tell us a little about yourself and your goals for this challenge. I will be 40 this August, have been married for 19 years and have two children - DD-16 and DS-14. We are just finishing up our 7th year of homeschooling and I am so ready for the summer break. We all love WDW and thankfully having DVC allows us to make at least a couple of trips a year with the one after Thanksgiving usually being two weeks. Like everyone the busy family keeps us hoping and does make it a challenge to get the exercise in like I plan. My goals for this challenge is to lose 10 pounds. I have lost 40 since August 08 and still have a good 25 pounds. The other big goal is to get back into consistent walking at the park, I felt so much better when we were doing that. I am not following a particular plan, just watching the types of food I'm eating and keeping control with the portions. QOTD -- What are your plans for the summer? How will your plans help or hinder your goals for this challenge? We just returned from our WDW trip so nothing major happening this summer. We will try to get to the lake some for some relaxing time. DH just came home yesterday and ask if I'd like to make a trip to the mountains for a weekend...I said well we need to talk to DD because she isn't a fan of that and he said oh no, I was talking just the two of us. Hoping for late July for that one. Other than that, we'll be around the house trying to get a few things done and look forward to our next WDW trip in Nov. None of our plans should cause any issues with the challenge. We have DD's piano recital happening this afternoon and then we'll go out to eat with the family. I'm fixing bacon and eggs for brunch here in just a little while. It's been great getting to know everyone. I hope you have a great Sunday.

Two of my BIL's are getting married -one next weekend and one the week of the 4th of July- I'm a little nervous because we will be spending some time a few hours away from home for a few days and I won't have control of food while I'm there. For our Anniversary weekend (22 years) we are taking our DD17 to take a look at the University of Missouri. Hopefully I can do good while we are there. Then in August we are doing 18 nights at Disney. I KNOW I won't do well there, but the key will be coming home and jumping back on track and quickly before I head to Vegas. Then for Labor Day weekend I'm going to Vegas to visit my Mom. Luckily I think I can do fairly good by just watching what I eat - At least I know quite a few places that offer decent food.

Wow! I was so happy to see everyone checking in.
Running a bit late on a lazy Sunday morning so am a bit late with the QOTD. QOTD -- What is your favorite Disney song? It can be from a park, movie, play, etc. I love the song "He Lives in You" The Lion King on Broadway. I also love any of the Pirates songs, especially good old "Yo, ho, yo, ho, a pirate's life for me!" Have a great Sunday all! |

For 40 years TreePeople has supported the people of Los Angeles County to grow the urban forest.
The history of our organization tells a powerful story of how every individual can plant the seeds of a more livable future, by joining our journey to sustainability – and by inspiring and empowering others to get involved, too.
Discover how TreePeople has developed into a leader in:
- Environmental education
- Citizen forestry
- Sustainable solutions to urban ecosystem problems
Our volunteers, partners and donors have made all this possible…
In the early 1950s, scientists report significant numbers of trees dying in the mountain forests surrounding Los Angeles. Eventually, they determine one of the main causes: the smog creeping up from the growing city of Los Angeles below.
Fifteen-year-old Andy Lipkis gets inspired to repair the smog damage in the San Bernardino Mountains, where he attends summer camp. He collaborates with two dozen fellow campers to transform a parking lot into a meadow of smog-tolerant trees. Andy has found his personal calling in life.
Seventeen-year-old Andy Lipkis initiates a second planting project. His goal: to obtain 20,000 sugar-pine seedlings from the California Department of Forestry to be planted at local summer camps.
The camps agree to participate, but a state law prohibits the forestry department from giving away the trees, and Andy lacks the funds to buy them. Undeterred, he embarks on a campaign – with help from the media – to win support for the project.
Andy raises $10,000, enough to purchase 8,000 seedlings and planting supplies. Sears, Potlatch and American Motors are the first major contributors, and many children from L.A. send in donations of 50 cents or one dollar. The forestry department eventually donates another 8,000 trees.
Andy and some of his family members start a nonprofit organization to manage the funds. They call it the California Conservation Project, but it'll later evolve into TreePeople. Our journey has begun!
In our second year, we launch a project to pot 10,000 trees during the week of Arbor Day. Agencies involved include: the California Division of Forestry, California Air National Guard, U.S. Forest Service, Los Angeles Urban Forest Council, L.A. Bicentennial Committee, Southern California Edison, Camp JCA, ACTION (the federal domestic volunteer agency) and numerous civic groups and schools.
The public unofficially renames us "the tree people." TreePeople News, our first newsletter, is published in December, announcing our new Tree Dedication program.
We receive our first grant – $5,000 – from ACTION (the federal domestic volunteer agency).
The city of L.A.'s Department of Recreation and Parks Department grants us a conditional-use permit of its Mountain Fire Station 108 so we can develop a small-scale nursery to grow seedlings. The Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) donates a '50s vintage fuel truck, which becomes our water truck.
The Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) works with us to create the Growing Concern community tree-planting program. In November, we officially take over the Mountain Fire Station grounds as our headquarters; the site becomes known as Coldwater Canyon Park. By the end of this fourth year, we have planted 50,000 trees!
Severe rains and local flooding give us our first experience mobilizing volunteers for disaster relief. As a result, our headquarters gets designated L.A.'s Emergency Resource Center.
The California Department of Education awards us our first environmental education grant, enabling us to reach out to 15,000 schoolchildren by year's end. In addition to environmental education, our programs now include tree plantings, tours of our park and facilities, community seminars, the Little Treehouse summer camp and overnight mountain Eco-tours.
We finish the year with a planting tally of 80,000 trees – 5,000 of them in urban areas. Our park's nursery houses 10,000 seedlings.
And, it's official: our name formally changes from the California Conservation Project, Inc. to TreePeople, Inc.
We launch our membership program, offering the public another way to get involved with our work.
In March, we close the Marina Freeway for a Tree Run, sponsored by Louisiana Pacific and KZLA. The closure, a first for an L.A. freeway, attracts 5,000 runners and makes California transportation history by requiring special legislation in Culver City, Los Angeles County and the California State Legislature.
Our Forestry Team launches with a tree planting involving Xerox Corporation employees who seek to contribute to a worthwhile civic-improvement project.
In February, 3,000 of our volunteers assist local homeowners during a massive emergency-relief effort mobilized in response to excessive rains, flooding and mudslides. Andy Lipkis appears on The Tonight Show, and Johnny Carson makes a personal contribution to replace tools lost during the relief work.
On the tenth anniversary of Earth Day, 2,000 people attend a celebration at our headquarters.
But the year brings an urgent call to action as well. The President's Council on Environmental Quality releases the Global 2000 ("Doomsday") Report, which predicts planetary devastation by the end of the century unless the world can band together to take significant action.
The City of Los Angeles Planning Department drafts an Air Quality Management Plan that calls for the planting of a million trees to help comply with the air-quality standards of the 1970 Clean Air Act. The city estimates it will take twenty years to plant the trees, at a cost of $200 million.
Energized by our recent successes, we respond to this forecast by launching the city's first Million Tree Campaign. Our goal: to plant one million trees in Los Angeles before the opening of the 1984 Summer Olympics.
The American Forestry Association invites Andy Lipkis to deliver a presentation at their Second National Urban Forestry Conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Andy inspires the attendees with a twelve-minute presentation on the power of community involvement.
We publish A Planters' Guide to the Urban Forest, a book designed to help community groups and individuals plan and carry out tree plantings.
The Los Angeles Times Home Magazine devotes an entire edition to our Million Tree Campaign, including a pictorial guide to trees suitable for planting around the home. TreePeople is also featured in Fortune and Omni magazines.
TreePeople embarks on an effort to save some of the hundreds of thousands of surplus bare-root fruit trees that end up being burned each year after the selling season. Wholesale growers donate almost 26,000 trees, which we prune, bag and distribute to low-income families and Indian reservations in Southern California.
We plant our millionth tree – an apricot – in the San Fernando Valley, four days before the lighting of the Olympic torch. To celebrate, staff and volunteers head to the mountains to plant another 7,000 seedlings in a single day.
This year we also take on our largest urban planting to date, a 1.5-mile stretch of the Long Beach Freeway.
Andy Lipkis and his wife, Katie, travel abroad, where their presentations on community forestry help launch programs in London and Ireland.
Ronald Reagan gives the Presidential Voluntary Action Award to GTE Corporation for their assistance during our Million Tree Campaign.
TreePeople's contributing membership grows to 1,500 people. We kick off a direct-mail campaign to continue to grow our membership base.
TreePeople volunteers fly to Africa with 6,000 surplus bare-root fruit trees to be distributed to communities in need. Over the next three years, we distribute 1,200 additional trees in Africa with the cooperation of humanitarian assistance groups, indigenous organizations and government agencies.
Our Citizen Forester training program launches to educate and support community members to organize their own tree planting and tree care events. The program reflects our new emphasis on making sure that the trees we plant get the regular maintenance they need to thrive.
Andy and Katie Lipkis receive a standing ovation for their presentation on the Million Tree Campaign at the American Forestry Association's Third National Urban Forestry Conference in Orlando, Florida.
Susan Becker, director of our Africa Fruit Tree project, visits all fourteen host villages to find tree survival rates between 80 and 90 percent.
To help L.A. prepare for mandatory citywide recycling within three years, we offer an Environmental Leadership program and develop a recycling component for our curriculum. During the school year that follows, 60,000 children – double the number stated in our contract with the city – participate in the program.
TreePeople members now number 10,000.
Andy and Katie Lipkis speak in Australia to promote the country's Target: 200 Million Trees campaign – an effort inspired by our Million Tree Campaign. (A year later, the target is reached one month before the deadline.)
The New York Times runs a story on TreePeople's work, highlighting our fruit tree distribution efforts and educational programs.
Our organization enters a new era of professionalism with the addition of a managing director to guide our staff, which jumps from fifteen in January to thirty-one in December.
We're recognized by the United Nations and covered by Charles Kuralt's "Sunday Morning," the global telecast "Our Common Future" and an article in Time magazine.
TreePeople holds a workshop in Tanzania on Home Economics and Horticulture for twenty-six trainees. They return to their communities as teachers, prepared to establish and run self-sufficient fruit tree projects.
TreePeople honors the birth and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with our largest-ever urban planting. Volunteers plant 500 trees – 300 in one day! – along a seven-mile stretch of Martin Luther King Boulevard.
In the first five months of the year, we assist or manage 30 tree plantings, putting more than 18,000 trees in the ground. Over 100 graduates of Citizen Forester training now actively organize plantings. Our Environmental Leadership program reaches 107,000 schoolchildren by year's end.
The White House invites input from TreePeople in the development of the National Tree Trust.
Andy and Katie Lipkis publish The Simple Act of Planting a Tree. Hundreds of reviews in newspapers and magazines bring Citizen Forestry into the spotlight, as the book inspires the formation of dozens of "releaf" groups nationwide.
President George H.W. Bush presents us with a Daily Points of Light Award, America's highest honor for volunteerism. TreePeople becomes the nation's 440th Point of Light.
The City of Los Angeles turns to us to spearhead the development of its Urban Forest Task Force and to lead the effort to bring millions of dollars to community groups in the aftermath of 1992's civil unrest.
Our Campus Forestry program launches, along with the next generation of our Fruit Tree program. We continue to work with city agencies to plant trees in the mountains and educate youth on environmental issues, ranging from waste reduction and recycling to the prevention of stormwater pollution.
We convince the Los Angeles Unified School District to designate a portion of Proposition BB funds for greening projects instead of campus repaving.
Our Campus Forestry program plants trees at all interested schools in order to shade playgrounds, buildings and air-conditioning units. The plan involves replacing 20 million square feet of asphalt with trees to lower energy costs, reduce students' exposure to ultraviolet light and engage students in the improvement of their campuses.
Andy Lipkis is honored as Founder of the Year at National Philanthropy Day.
Second Nature: Adapting L.A.'s Landscape for Sustainable Living, is published by TreePeople with a foreword by Paul Hawken.
We partner with volunteers and local land management agencies to replant the fire-damaged Angeles National Forest as part of Tu'B'Shevat, the Jewish Arbor Day.
We also partner with the Cool Schools program – run by the City of Los Angeles' Department of Water and Power – to help green 400 LAUSD campuses by replacing asphalt with trees and grass.
Andy Lipkis and Dorothy Green share the honor of receiving the Donald Hagman Award from the Southern California Association of Governments Advisory Council, presented to individuals who make outstanding contributions to improve the quality of life in our region.
The Los Angeles and San Gabriel Rivers Watershed Council honors TreePeople with its 2001 President's Award. The council calls us the outstanding nonprofit in the watershed and acknowledges our T.R.E.E.S. Project for its leadership in developing a sustainable watershed management plan for Sun Valley.
TreePeople is among only 15 agencies worldwide to be honored by the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Committee, receiving the Spirit of the Land Environmental Education Award. We also receive the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board award for Water Quality Conservation for advancing an integrated approach to urban watershed management.
Our Sun Valley Watershed Project is highlighted in the United Nations publication State of the World's Forests 2003 as an example of partnering to create a sustainable water supply.
We break ground on our new Center for Community Forestry, a state-of-the-art environmental education campus and gathering place for local, national and international action to create healthy, sustainable cities.
Following the devastating 2003 Southern California wildfires, Andy works with the California Resources Agency, UCLA and others to organize an unprecedented conference for the state's top fire ecologists, scientists and citizen foresters to prevent future wildfire damage.
Construction finishes on the TreePeople Conference Center, the first anchor element in our Center for Community Forestry. The completion of the Conference Center fulfills a long-held vision of Andy Lipkis to create an inspiring and politically neutral gathering place to nurture local, statewide, national and international leadership in sustainability.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announces the Million Trees LA initiative, an effort to plant one million trees in the city over the next few years. TreePeople commits to organize the planting of 300,000 trees in parklands to help fulfill the Mayor's vision.
Working in partnership with the Department of Recreation and Parks, our initial efforts focus on the underserved areas of the L.A. Harbor and Northeast San Fernando Valley. The project also includes restoring fire-damaged areas of Griffith Park.
We form our Natural Urban Systems Group to continue the work of our earlier T.R.E.E.S. project. The group promotes the integration of trees, people and technology to solve urban ecosystems problems.
Andy Lipkis serves as a special advisor to the Mayor of Los Angeles's climate change study.
Leonardo DiCaprio features Andy in The 11th Hour, a documentary film exploring the environmental crises caused by human actions and their impact on the planet. TreePeople is also recognized in Edens Lost & Found, a nationally broadcast PBS program celebrating the sustainability work of four U.S. cities.
June brings news of a major gift from The Boeing Company: a $1 million grant to launch our comprehensive California Wildfire Restoration initiative. In October, the Walt Disney Company further boosts the initiative with a grant of $1.5 million.
In October, our Center for Community Forestry officially opens at our headquarters in Coldwater Canyon Park. Through interactive exhibits, sustainable design features and educational programs, the center demonstrates the benefits of bringing the functions of a natural forest to the city. The project supports our new long-range vision to create a Functioning Community Forest in every neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Also in October, our new Conference Center becomes LEED® certified with a Platinum rating – the highest – for its sustainable features.
This year also sees our Fruit Tree giveaway expand from 3,000 to 9,000. And we start a Corporate Forestry program to support L.A. businesses to carry out tree plantings and tree care events in local parks and woodlands.
Our journey toward environmental sustainability continues!
In the year ahead, we'll be working to apply our Functioning Community Forest model in neighborhoods throughout L.A. We'll also continue to expand our Fruit Tree program to bring the health-giving effects of produce to more people in need.
In addition, our California Wildfire Restoration initiative is gearing up. During the next five years, we'll train and support over 7,500 volunteers to restore more than 10,000 fire-damaged acres, targeting forest and woodland areas that have burned so intensely that they are unlikely to recover on their own.

Vermont school faces invasion by technologyBy VIVIAN YEE
The New York Times | November 12,2012VERSHIRE — Past the chicken coop and up a hill, in a spot on campus where the wooden buildings of the Mountain School can seem farther away than the mountains of western New Hampshire, there sometimes can be found a single bar, sometimes two, of cellphone reception.
The spot, between the potato patch and a llama named Nigel, is something of an open secret at the school in this remote corner of Vermont where simplicity is valued over technology. "We're at the periphery of civilization here," said Doug Austin, a teacher.
But that is about to change.
The school offers high school students, many from elite private institutions in the Northeast, a semester to immerse themselves in nature. The students make solo camping trips to a nearby mountain for a day or two of reflection and practice orienteering skills without a GPS device. Between English and environmental science classes, they care for farm animals, chop wood and read the works of Robert Frost. And in the process, many say, they stopped scouring the campus for its sparse bars of reception and lost the habit of checking their Facebook pages at every opportunity.
As the rest of the country got high-speed Internet, Vershire (population 730) has lagged, relying on landlines shared among neighbors, dial-up and (for homes that face the right way) satellite Internet service that cuts out when the weather is rough. But cellphone signals have been seeping in, and soon there will be more.
This fall, technicians will start laying fiber-optic cable to bring high-speed Internet to the town. Cellphone coverage is expected soon after. "Right now we're the Third World country of Vermont," said Gene Craft, the town clerk. "We'd like to be in touch."
That presents a challenge for the Mountain School: how to regulate the use of smartphones and other devices that serve as a constant distraction for 21st-century teenagers, who are here to engage with the rural setting and with each other.
True to its mission of encouraging "collaborative learning and shared work," the school asked its students and alumni to develop a technology policy that will determine whether to ban phones, allow them in a limited way, or leave the decision whether to disconnect to students.
Many students, alumni and teachers have asked Alden Smith, the school's director, to declare a ban. But the school has always held that its students can be trusted to make good choices, he said. "We have to figure out the balance between how to preserve the values we have," Smith said. "But I tend to think that adolescents, particularly the ones we get here, when mentored, will rise to the occasion when trusted with real responsibility."
To make phone calls from the 300-acre campus, students must take turns, using prepaid calling cards, at small phone closets in each dorm. At the recommendation of alumni, there is no Internet service in the dorms, only in the academic building, and incoming students are strongly discouraged from bringing DVDs or loading videos on their laptops. (Even where there is Internet service, any online activity that requires significant bandwidth — watching a video on YouTube, for example — means a loss of signal to others because the town's fair access policy limits bandwidth to the school.)

5 Gear up and get ready!greenly1 | 04/11/2013 | See all greenly1's reviews (2)As far as immersive, realistic, challenging and breathtaking this game blows all others trying to compete out of the water. Ignore negative reviews from what i'm gathering are not good at the game and so are slating it.
1 B4ConfusedMoose | 07/11/2013 | See all ConfusedMoose's reviews (5)This game is awful. The graphics are worse than BF3, the game feels like a beta. How it got 9/10 is beyond me. Save your money and wait for The One version. I can't expand anymore other than it's the biggest let down I've ever known. This game is even worse than BF2 graphics wise
5 Great game but up the gfx in the options :DThePaleOne | 22/11/2013 | See all ThePaleOne's reviews (12)Yes u can up the gfx in the options if u have a good connection which everyone does these days . So all u moaning about crappy gfx THERE IS YOUR ANSWER . or also get a better tv . Some tv's also make games look crappy . Its not always the game .. BF4 plays like a cross between bf2 and bf3 for me with maps that feel more like a battle field . Wasnt keen on alot of battlefield 3 maps if I am honest . The vehicles on the game also play well amd feel real heavy :D .. Also another thing to note is NO VIP PASS so u can pick it up any time u want on the cheap ..
5 You will never play COD again after playing Battlefield4....Gordavfc1874 | 10/11/2013 | See all Gordavfc1874's reviews (1)Not tried the story mode yet but the multiplayer is by far the best 1st person shooter there is. Loads of the Battlefield regular vehicles like tanks,APCs, jeeps, planes, helicopters but added in BF4 are new types of gun boats as well as new guns, camos and equipment. Enviroments change during games, flood water rises, tidal waves that wash wrecked warships ashore. Loads of buildings to flatten to as you would expect in the Battlefield series. I preordered the game and got it a day before release. I will never buy another Call of Duty, as COD feels like half a game after playing BF. Off now to drive a tank through a building.
1 i really dont know whether...mattkf | 03/11/2013 | See all mattkf's reviews (1)I really don't know whether it's the actual game because I keep looking round websites some say its the game and some say it's just an update I ordered it a couple of days ago wishing I hadn't because I don't know what im getting. when it's came I will write another review saying what it is exactly.

My favorite local comic book shop is closing. I haven't had luck with the other shop in town, so I would like to start getting my comic subscriptions by mail order! What company can you recommend? I don't need, but want things like: weekly delivery, bags and boards, free/cheap shipping, and "pay as you go" options. asked Aug 21 '11 at 05:17 becca |
We live in a rural area, and local comic book shops are hard to find. My husband has compromised by contacting the owner of one that's about an hour away. Once a month, the owner sends out a list of new & recommended back list items, and my husband returns the email with his subscription. When it's convenient for my husband, he stops by the shop. This and this might be helpful. linkanswered Sep 03 '11 at 15:21 Courtney Ostaff |
One source that I have used is Things from another world, TFAW. I suspect that if you order more than one issue at a time you will amortize the shipping very quickly. Plus, they do seem to have everything--big names and independents. linkanswered Sep 04 '11 at 17:36 |
Thanks for the suggestions. I already go to TFAW (I live in Portland and go to their flagship store right next to the Dark Horse offices!). I was looking for something with free shipping, a better discount (theirs is 10%), or bags and boards (they don't do either). linkanswered Sep 04 '11 at 23:28 becca Have you looked into Heavy Ink (http://heavyink.com/) or DCBservice (http://www.dcbservice.com/)? They both seem to be popular services, and they seem to have varying customizability.

Adam Dunn's two-run shot highlights White Sox' 2-2 tie

Updated: May 19, 2014 11:45AM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning in the White Sox' Cactus League game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that was called with the score tied 2-2 after nine innings.
With Alex Rios on third with a triple, Dunn homered against Peter Moylan, an opposite field shot to left. It was his first homer of the spring for the Sox, who won their opener 9-0 against the Dodgers on Saturday.
"[It was good to] kind of get some stuff going,'' Dunn said. "I just happened to go 3-2 [in the count] and that last at-bat I was just going to try to get a pitch and the location I was looking to swing at it."
A day after Tyler Flowers homered in the Sox opener, manager Robin Ventura was glad to see Dunn get his first out of the way early.
"You know, it's nice to get those,'' Ventura said. "If it lingers on too much, not having good at-bats, you are starting off battling from the negative. It's nice for everybody to kind of get on the board and have a good at-bat. It feels nice to end your day that way too.''
Dunn was also happy to see quick results from a minor adjustment he's made in his swing.
"There's one little mechanical thing I wanted to work on, and I didn't know how long it was going to take me this spring,'' he said. "I knew we had an extended spring. But actually I'm able to carry it over from the cage to the game so far. That's a positive."
Erik Johnson pitched three innings as the Sox starter, allowing one run.

Research at Fermilab
Fermilab Experiments and Projects Interactions of Matter, Space and Time Fermilab's mission defines the goal of high-energy physics research: unlocking nature's deepest secrets, and learning how the universe is made and how it works. Fermilab builds and operates the accelerators, detectors and other facilities that physicists need to carry out forefront research in high-energy physics. Fermilab is the largest high-energy physics laboratory in the United States, and is second in the world only to CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics. Fermilab's Tevatron was the world's second-highest-energy particle accelerator and collider. In the Tevatron, counter-rotating beams of protons and antiprotons produced collisions allowing scientists to examine the most basic building blocks of matter, and the forces acting on them. Particle physics research has grown into an international effort, with experiment collaborations numbering in the hundreds. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is now producing collisions at seven times the energy of the Tevatron. More than 1,200 U.S. scientists are involved in the LHC and its experiments. Dramatic discoveries in high-energy physics, including those at Fermilab, have revolutionized our understanding of the interactions of the particles and forces that determine the nature of matter in the universe. And there are more discoveries ahead, with rough accumulated data from the Tevatron still being measured today. Research at Fermilab will address the grand questions of particle physics today.
These accelerator-based experiments at Fermilab explore particle
interactions and advance our understanding of matter, energy, space and
