LOVED the location for the views!! Everyone very nice, helpful.Housekeeping did great job. Would stay there again! Can't beat location of this unit!!!
My wife and I chose El Faro Surf 309 based mainly on the reviews posted on this site. Our first trip to Playa del Carmen held a promise of an enjoyable stay. When we arrived at El Faro, the RentalsYourWay representative escorted us to the unit and proceeded to show us through. Upon inspection of the Master Bath, we were greeted by a foul stench which we can only describe as a decaying corpse in a morgue. The owner's rep explained that, occasionally, an odor will present itself in a unit, caused by improperly pitched drain piping in the basement of the Surf side of the building. In retrospect, Mexico's reputation for graft among local officials is probably the reason this condition was allowed to persist. I attempted to make do by closing the bathroom door with the exhaust fan running. It did not help. The smell eventually began to creep into the rest of the apartment. My wife is a nursing supervisor, and her apprehension about staying in a unit with toxic sewer gas forced us to find other accommodations. RentalsYourWay representatives tried to alleviate the problem by pouring a concoction they called "salsa" down the drains, but it did not help. After two nights (of the 7 night stay we had paid for) sleeping in the back bedroom (in separate full beds) we decided to arrange for accommodations in a hotel in Cancun, which put a serious hurt on our enjoyment of our vacation AND our bank account. I do not blame the manager for our predicament. They did try everything they could to fix things. We do not wish to injure the owner with this review either. However, RentalsYourWay is only authorized to give a 15% discount in such circumstances without the owner's permission. We were advised to send an email to the owner explaining our plight in order to convince them to authorize a larger discount. We have heard nothing from the owner or RentalsYourWay in over a month. Sadly, we do not wish for another couple to have to experience what we did.
We rented this unit and a 4 bedroom unit directly below it for a family getaway that included my eighty something mother and two teenage boys. This particular unit has the best outdoor space in the complex. It is within easy walking distance to all PDC has to offer, including the Mega and Wal Marts. As we were there in November and the pool is not heated, there was no real reason to leave the wonderful balcony that is almost on top of the ocean. The sound of the surf at night along with the music from Zenzi next door made for wonderful evenings. The outdoor spa was wonderful but didn't work after the 2nd night but was repaired for the last night. I would have rated this excellent except for the 4 nights without the spa, a TV in the master that did not work at all nor did it have a dvd/bluray player (my husband was ill for a time and a tv would have been greatly appreciated), the pool was cold and the kitchen appliances have a few dents. Housekeeping did a great job (they come every other day). This unit definitely commands a premium price because of it's location within the complex and we chose it hoping everything would be in working condition. Having said this however, we very likely will have our family of 11 once again vacation at El Faro again this year. We had 2 couples in this unit and it was the perfect space for us. I managed to lock myself out of the safe first night and we went out and by the time we came back it was fixed. We have been vacationing in PDC for the past 8 years and this was our 9th trip but first at El Faro. We have seen many changes including a tremendous reduction in the size of the beach directly in front of he complex and down the beach for quite a way. The most beautiful area, Calle Corazon is gone and a mall is going up to join the other malls that are recent additions to the area. We hope this progress doesn't cause PDC to lose the charm it is known for. We do look forward to staying at El Faro again.
Condo has gorgeous views, a spacious balcony with a hot tub, a deep soaking tub, and is attractively furnished with a well equipped kitchen.
Noemi, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful in her initial descriptions and also send useful information to ensure a pleasant holiday. Angie, the concierge, was unusually proactive and helpful in making reservations.
I gave the condo 4 instead of 5 stars because it wasn't well maintained. Although it was impeccably clean and comfortable, the dishwasher and the ceiling fans didn't work. Or at least we were unable to get them to work.
The other drawback is a bar immediately across the street which has a live band from 7 pm to 2 pm every night. The band is especially loud on Fri and Sat night, and the sound of thumping base can be heard in the condo, even with all the doors shut and the air-conditioning turned on. The sound disturbed out sleep and shutting everything up also meant we were unable to sleep with the very peaceful sound of the ocean.
My husband and I, along with our daughter and her boyfriend just returned from our vacation. I can't say enough about how nice this condo was, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is just like the photos show. The only hiccup was the hot tub was not working upon our arrival, but the manager finally got it repaired by the end of the week so we could enjoy it. So it goes without saying, the staff does everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. Very safe and secure building and area. Locationwise, it was great. We liked Zenzi, the bar and restaurant next door. They had great cover bands in the evening and we could sit on our balcony and listen to the music. Other good restaurants we found in the area, all an easy walk, were Yaxche, Fusion, Mi Tierra and our favorite was Sur just up the block. We are tennis players and found courts to play on a good healthy 15 min. walk away. It was a GREAT family vacation and we will return. Highly recommend!!!!!

Reviewer Comments:
Absolutely most awesome location! Just above the beach sand, looking out on ocean and beach with no obstacles. Didn't even know there were buildings of condos behind you. Free good alternating styles of live music from Zenzi enjoyed out on the patio with cocktails and dinner. Pool would get very warm like a bathtub in afternoon, but we kept the whirlpool temp cool...very refreshing and enjoyable. Condo clean and well equipped. Property management people checked in regularly and prompted addressed any issues we had.

Everything was perfect !
Playa del Carmen is world famous for its white sand beaches, turquoise Caribbean water, shopping and dining on Playa's famous 5th Avenue, and exciting nightlife. The archeological ruins of Chichen-Itza, Tulum and Koba are a short drive away, and the stunning Xel Ha and Xcaret eco parks are nearby as well. Enjoy the Mayakoba PGA golf course or other nearby courses. The area is literally filled with activities day and night. Or, just relax on your oceanfront terrace or at the beautiful white sand beaches of Playa del Carmen.

Nani calls it a rumour, saying the issue has been blown out of proportion
Tense moments prevailed in the town on Tuesday when rumours spread that Gudivada MLA Kodali Sri Venkateswara Rao (Nani) had beaten some youth who raised slogans in favour of cine actor Balakrishna and Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
The MLA, however, said that neither he nor his associates were involved in such an incident. "Some youth entered our theatre and raised slogans. The security staff objected to it saying sloganeering was not allowed on theatre premises, and grabbed the key chain from a person in the group. Nothing more happened. The issue has been blown out of proportions," he said.
Gudivada DSP P. Parameshswar Reddy said that they had not received any formal complaint from the youth who levelled allegations against the MLA. They (youth) approached the police on the plea that they were thrashed by the MLA. But, they were not willing to lodge a complaint, he said.
The police made elaborate arrangements in the town in view of TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu's 'Vastunna Meekosam' padayatra in the town. A posse of policemen was deployed in front of Sarath theatre to avoid any untoward incident as TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu was scheduled to pass through the theatre and address a public meeting in the town. A house arrest kind of situation prevailed near Sarath theatre where the MLA parked himself along with his associates. The police cordoned the area, and the DSP personally monitored the situation.
As the channels beamed about the incident, followers of Mr. Nani poured in good numbers at the theatre. When asked, Mr. Nani said: "The police haven't asked me not to venture out of the theatre. I regularly sit here."

Strip poker is a variant of the card game of poker, in which the rules require players to remove articles of clothing in response to various events. Strip Poker can be played for free online, or at home with friends or swingers. Strip poker can be played as Five Card Stud, Texas Hold'em or and other variation of poker. Other card games such as Black Jack can also be played in a way the you strip when you lose a round. Check your local strip clubs for strip poker night.
Strip Poker - Strip Poker Rules
The game can be played based on any variety of poker, with the same number of players, dealing and betting rules, etc. There are a number of ways in which the rules can then be developed into strip poker. For example, at the end of each hand:
If players are then allowed to "buy back" clothing when they have won more chips, this can result in a zero-sum game, where there is no long-term net loss of clothing. (With two people, this will have the consequence that only one of them is missing clothing.) (Note that "buying back" may be disallowed, so that the aggregate nudity is always increasing.)
As a further variant, players who have lost all of their clothing, achieving nudity, must perform sex acts when they lose hands.
Strip Poker - Popularity
There are no known professional associations. The U.S. TV show Strip Poker is in fact a general knowledge quiz, albeit one where contestants take (some of) their clothes off; though it involves cards in poker hands, the resemblance to the actual game is distant.
The most famous strip poker production was probably National Lampoon's Strip Poker, in which Playboy, WWE, and pin-up models competed in unscripted no limit Texas Hold 'em poker competition. The productions were filmed in their entirety at the Hedonism II nudist resort in Negril, Jamaica, and first aired on Pay-Per-View in 2005. The winner of the first episode of National Lampoon's Strip Poker was veteran Playboy model Taylor Kennedy, who stripped five other models completely naked in the process. National Lampoon's Strip Poker was the first title in National Lampoon's history to feature full (frontal) female nudity.
The prefix "strip" can be added on to a game title with a subsequent nudity-inducing adaptation of the rules (e.g., strip Candyland and strip chess).
While a popular subject for pornographic fantasy and video games, genuine research into strip poker as a form of sexuality is lacking. The element of risk and of (mock) coercion fits in with a general sexual approach of domination and submission and/or humiliation.

Effective but messy.
- Does the job
- Messy in application
Does it seal seams? Yes, a quality product without dipping too deep into your pocket. Did I make a mess of my boots applying it, despite the brush applicator? Yes. Suggestion, push some out on a paper plate and then pick up some of that onto the brush and then apply to whatever you have. It works though!

I received this coat as a Christmas gift and loved the color and style. I was expecting to swap it into my spring/fall jacket lineup. However, I started wearing it this Christmas and it is SO much warmer than I originally thought. The wind-proof material does exactly what it says and keeps your upper half bundled up, nice & warm. I would definitely recommend this jacket to others, especially if you go with the fun colors and make it a statement piece, as well!
One of my friends got this jacket last year, and I loved it and was envious of it all winter. I got on Moosejaw and saw that it was on sale this year so I felt like it was fate, and I had to order it. It is so comfortable and warm, but not bulky. I was nervous about it not being warm enough, but the material on the inside does a great job of blocking the wind. It works great as a casual jacket. It's also awesome as a layering piece for those freezing cold days. Would definitely recommend this to a friend.
Well I couldn't wait to get this jacket. I saw it in the Patagonia catalog, then checked it out online. I ordered a small, but it was way too big. I'm 5'4" and 105lbs. So I sent it back and ordered an XS. Well the XS fit, but it just wasn't very flattering. I think it made me look bigger than I am, and I felt like I was wearing a rug. My husband sort of liked it, but I figured that I'd probably never wear it if I kept it, so I returned it. I ended up with the Retro-X jacket instead. It's much better looking, fits better (I took a small in it), and the lower pile fleece doesn't look like a rug.
I loved the way this jacket looked online, but when I received it in the mail I was disappointed. I ordered a medium and I was swimming in it. I usually wear mediums in all patagonia, but I needed a small in this. I am 130lbs and 5'5". It is super boxy. My boyfriend said I looked like a wookie too. Unfortunately I am sending this back.

James, while our California cruising was some time ago, it''s my impression that regular reading of Latitude 38 will help you in many ways, only one of which is getting current info on the various CA boating areas and thier regulations. I think you''ll find that practices differ from one harbor to the next since there are so many different regulatory and management agencies representing the State, county, and municipalities.
L38 can be a great resource for newer sailors, I think. Rather than trying to snag one at the local WM store, I would recommend subscribing. (It''s the one subscription we kept, even when cruising offshore for 2 years recently). The third class postage rate is not much money, while the info is excellent and the vibes usually very positive. (www.latitude38.com)

People & Traditions, Lahore
5 Reviews
5 Reviews
Favorite thing:
I think it depends from Person to Person. Like, if u like old buildings and Forts. then you MUST visit the Lahore Fort (Castle) which was built by Mughal Emperors nearly 500 yrs old.
If are interested in some Cultural activities then you must see 'National Industrial Exhibision' in Fortress Stadium. In this Exibision crafts men bring their goods from all over Punjab which is the largest and most famous province of Pakistan.
After all this trip if u are looking for a nice resturant which is famous for its Pakistani food then you MUST go to 'Village Resturant' in the most posh areas of Lahore - Gulberg. This Resturant is famous for its pure Pakistani Environment and good quality of good. Alongwith this resturant there are otehr resturants as well and you get a variety of food depending upon your choice. I would surely add the pictures laters.
Fondest memory: I live in Lahore and I love this city. There is a famous saying in Pakistan in local language ' Urdu' which goes like this: 'If someone has not seen Lahore, it means he has not born yet'.
This City is full of everything!!! Love, History, Culture, Beauty and Loving, Sincere, Energetic People. But you have to come by yourself and experience the Charisma of this old historical city. Its Red Light Area is famous from ages of Mughal Emprors. I would simply say that its amazing.
Favorite thing:
The women observe strict purdah (seclusion of women) and are rarely seen outside their homes. However, in the more heavily populated provinces of Sindh and Punjab, which account for well over half of Pakistan's population, women have relatively greater social mobility and have increased access to education and health care.
Check my travelogue for a summary of a report on Violence Against Women in Pakistan.
Favorite thing: 75 percent of Pakistan's female population is rural, and the average Pakistani woman is beset with the crippling handicaps of illiteracy, constant motherhood and poor health. In the less populated frontier provinces to Afghanistan, life for women is very restricted, and women are expected to comply with tribal beliefs and traditions. Any woman who deviates from these traditions, such as being seen with a man to whom she is not related or married, can suffer severe penalties, including death.
Favorite thing: In 1999, in the wake of the military takeover in Pakistan, Human Rights Watch released a report on the state of women's rights in Pakistan. The report 'Crime or Custom? Violence Against Women in Pakistan' documents crimes of violence against women, including domestic violence rates as high as 90 percent, at least eight reported rapes every 24 hours nationwide, and an alarming rise in so-called honor killings. Women's low social status and a long established pattern of active suppression of women's rights by successive governments has contributed to the escalation in violence in Pakistan.
Favorite thing: Don not forget to see to join marriage Party 1-Hina 2- Ubton 3- Shadi 4- Valima. I think you can go in every marriage party and say you want to join . Sure they will give you respect

US envoy: March vote in Iraq must be seen as fair
But al-Maliki faces Shiite rivals from among religious parties and from his own interior minister, who has forged a bloc with the Sunni sheik Abu Risa.
In his embassy office in the Green Zone, Hill spoke of what he called "the day after" - the transition into the new government's rule. He predicted it will "take a lot of time" for the government to get up and running - mostly to ensure balance and inclusion among competing political forces.
After Iraq's last parliamentary election in 2005, bickering between and within political parties and religious groups delayed the new government from being seated for months. Part of that was because of U.S. insistence that Sunni lawmakers be given some power to balance out majority Shiite leaders.
If the ballot purge leads to disputed election results, the government could be delayed even longer. International election observers believe a disputed election that leads to chaos could easily inflame insurgents who already have sent political messages in the forms of car bombs and suicide bombers to target government buildings in four spectacular attacks in Baghdad since August, including one last week.
"What will help determine whether these elections are successful or not is not the behavior of the winners, but rather how the losers accept the elections," Hill said.

Beloved local sports figure Dick Louis, a public-address announcer who's been the voice of Hart High football, baseball and track for the past 28 years, has retired.
He announced his last game during Hart's baseball playoff loss to Riverside Poly on Friday, and his plan is to spend more time with his family.
``I told my wife 10 years ago I'd stop when she retired, and she has retired, so that's what I'm going to do,'' Louis said.
A few moments prior to the baseball game Friday, Hart athletic director Mike Herrington took the microphone and broke the news, and Louis was given a standing ovation.
``Dick has been our voice for three decades. We're really going to miss him,'' Hart principal Gary Fuller said. ``For us, he's practically at the level of Vin Scully. There's no question about it.''
--David Curiel, a standout defensive lineman from Notre Dame High of Sherman Oaks, plans to play football at College of the Canyons. He's following in the footsteps of his brother, Tom, who started at linebacker at Canyons before committing to Cal Poly SLO.
``Tom probably will switch to linebacker, too, just like his brother,'' Canyons coach Chuck Lyon said.
The younger Curiel has helped Notre Dame win three consecutive Southern Section Div. III titles. He's participating in the 54th annual Shrine Classic all-star football game June 25 at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut.
--In other Shrine news, Canyon High receiver Dejon Negron's name has been removed from the final roster - but on Saturday morning, Negron said he still plans to play in the game.
``There was a problem because I wasn't sure if I was going to graduate, but I just found out I'm graduating,'' said Negron, an exciting breakaway threat who played only during his senior year because of academic problems. ``I'm going to send in all my paperwork (for the Shrine) today or tomorrow.''
--As expected, Valencia quarterback Michael Herrick, a senior-to-be who's on pace to break California's all-time passing yardage record, impressed during a high-profile Nike-sponsored scouting event in Berkeley last weekend.
``Michael Herrick had a great camp on Saturday and was one of the top three signal callers in the camp,'' said Brian Stumpf, recruiting analyst for studentsportsfootball.com. ``He has a live, accurate arm and can make all the throws. He moves well in the pocket and throws very well on the run. He was the top signal caller from California both Saturday and Sunday and is a definite high Division I athlete.''
Canyon quarterback Ben Longshore, a junior, worked out with the underclassmen and left a good impression. He was considered among the top three junior prospects, according to Cory Nagatoshi, who helped organize the event.
--Santa Clarita Christian High's softball team, nicknamed the Cardinals, defeated the Mesa Grande Cardinals in the Southern Section Div. VII playoffs on Thursday, and now they face the Cardinals of Cantwell Sacred-Heart in the semifinals Friday.
--Tyler Lyon, who has received six scholarship offers from major-college football programs, finally can devote himself to spring football on a full-time basis now that Hart's baseball team has been eliminated from the playoffs.
Lyon, who hurt his pitching arm early in the year but has recovered well enough to throw a football without restriction, rejoined the baseball team as a measure of support.
--Saugus baseball coach George Lopata has resigned after one season. Meanwhile, Canyon coach Chuck Crim said he is committed to return for his third season despite rumors he was leaving because his son, Cody, is graduating.
``I heard those rumors, too, but it's not true. I've told (vice-principal) Sal Frias I'm coming back,'' Crim said.
Crim's son plans to walk on at San Diego State.
--Saugus athletic director Kevin Miner's home run streak in the annual alumni game ended this year after hitting homers in 2002 and 2003, then sitting out last season.
``I guess this is what happens when you don't pick up a bat for two years,'' he said.

Shutdown came on Friday
The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant near South Haven remains out of service today after the facility was shut down just before 5 p.m. Friday.
This is the first shutdown since the plant was upgraded by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in November after a series of safety issues the last two years, including being out of service for almost a month in June for a leak in a 300,000-gallon water tank.
The plant was shutdown Friday "for repair work activities, following several days of troubleshooting the plant's component cooling water heat exchanger system," according to spokesman Mark Savage.
Electrical work on the main generator disconnect switch in the plant's switchyard will also be performed while the plant is out of service, Savage said.
The plant at 27780 Blue Star Highway is owned by New Orleans-based Entergy Corp.
Parts of Allegan County in Casco Township are within a 10-mile-radius Emergency Planning Zone — the prime area where people could be effected by a radiation leak from the plant and evacuations would be mostly likely in an emergency.
The rest of the county, as well as Holland and Ottawa County, are in a 50-mile secondary emergency zone where people could receive indirect exposure to radiation through contaminated food and water if there was a radiation leak.

Romney's Granite Statement
No one has been able to unite the GOP's conservative majority.
Mitt Romney's victory in New Hampshire Tuesday takes him one step closer to the GOP Presidential nomination, especially given the fragmented showing by the rest of the field. The former Massachusetts Governor met expectations in the state where he owns a home, and he will now head to South Carolina with no clear single rival who might unite conservatives.
Ron Paul's strong second-place finish was also notable, showing the continuing appeal of his message of "sound money and personal liberty." He did especially well, according to the exit polls, among voters anxious about the economy.
The reality, however, is that Mr. Paul has no chance to win the nomination. His isolationist views on defense aren't shared by most Republicans and put him well to the left even of President Obama. In that sense, he is Mr. Romney's best friend, unable to defeat the front-runner but doing well enough to block a more plausible potential nominee from emerging as a challenger.
Jon Huntsman's third-place finish might have been encouraging, except it's hard to see where he goes from here. He placed most of his campaign effort on the Granite State, doing 165 events or so and betting that Mr. Romney's appeal would fade. Yet most of Mr. Huntsman's voters said in exit polls that they were either moderate or liberal. That doesn't bode well for him with the more conservative GOP electorate in the South.
As we went to press, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were competing for a weak fourth place, with about 10% of the vote, while Rick Perry was struggling to reach 1%. All of them will bid to become the conservative champion in the Palmetto State, but they will also still divide the non-Romney vote. Mr. Santorum may have the best remaining chance to build on his social conservative base with an economic growth message in a state where the jobless rate is still 9.9%.
Messrs. Gingrich and Perry may keep trying to damage Mr. Romney by assailing his business record (see "The Bain Capital Bonfire"), but their attacks don't seem to be helping them. It's hard to be a credible champion of private economic growth and job creation if your main message is an attack on private enterprises. They'd do better talking up their own virtues or Mr. Romney's legitimate weaknesses on taxes and health care.
Mr. Romney's main strength continues to be the GOP perception of his electability and leadership, more than his ideas. The lack of ideas has been one of his weaknesses in trying to unite the GOP, as most voters still break for the bolder colors of Mr. Paul and the rest. If he wants to unite the party and motivate it for the battle against Mr. Obama, Mr. Romney will need some bolder colors himself.
In his victory speech, he at least began to stake out a contrast with Mr. Obama, including a good line that the U.S. is better when "we are lifted up by our desire to succeed, not dragged down by a resentment of success." New Hampshire showed that some of his GOP competitors could benefit from that lesson.

Syedna Mufaddal Bhaisaheb Saifuddin, 70, has taken charge as the 53rd Dai-ul-Mutlaq or supreme spiritual head of the 2.5 million Dawoodi Bohra community. He succeeds Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, who died on January 17.
Burhanuddin Saheb had decided two years ago that he would be succeed by Saifuddin, his second son. The late chief of the Bohras had performed the 'nass' (investiture ceremony) anointing Saifuddin soon after he (the Syedna) suffered a heart attack in UK in 2011.
The 70-year-old successor is the rector of the community's 200-year-old institution for religious education, Jamea-tus-Saifiah, which has campuses in Surat, Karachi, Mumbai and Nairobi.
Saifuddin was closely associated with his late revered father and has received much of his spiritual guidance under his tutelage. The first son of the Syedna, Quaidjohar, heads the trust currently implementing the Bhendi Bazar cluster development project.
Mufaddal is said to be an early learner of the Quran. He started learning it when he was a child.
Most of his learning happened in Saifee Villa in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Highly respected among the community members across the globe, Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin has travelled widely with Syedna and met heads of states and other distinguished personalities across the world.
Among the many projects that Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin has worked under Syedna's directions in the restoration of famous Fatemi Masjids in Egypt and other edifices in the Arab world.

The following four "jargon alerts" are found on Aetna's intranet. These alerts advise Aetna staff to use a different term or phrase in written and oral communications that is easier for the consumer to understand.
Help us expand this list for healthcare finance leaders trying to de-jargon their patient financial communications. What are some other healthcare finance or medical terms that are likely to confuse patients? Email the HFMA editor between March 28 and April 30, and we'll add your jargon words to this list.
Noncompliant: Let's stop saying "noncompliant." It has a negative and judgmental tone. Instead, say "not following the treatment plan," "not taking the prescribed drugs," or something more specific and plain.
Preventative: Let's stop saying "preventative." Use "preventive" instead, as in preventive care or preventive medicine. Both terms are in the dictionary. Both mean the same thing. But "preventive" is the preferred term at Aetna. It's part of our corporate style.
Speaking in one, consistent voice is important, especially for a large company like Aetna. Even something that might seem little-like word choice-can help reinforce our brand and our messaging.
Telephonic: Let's get better at using plain language. Let's stop saying "telephonic," as in "telephonic office visit," "telephonic consultations," or "telephonic-based programs."
Instead, say "office visit by phone," "phone consultations," or "telephone counseling programs."
Utilize: "Utilize" may sound more sophisticated but it's not a synonym for "use." And it is not a word that is in line with the company's plain language mission. "Use" is so much more friendly, down to earth, and easy to understand.
"Utilize" means to use in a different way from its intended purpose. So you would "utilize" a straw as a tracheotomy tube. You could also "use" a straw as a tracheotomy tube. But you would never "utilize" that straw for your milkshake. You would "use" it to enjoy your drink.
Still not sure which word to use? It's simple. Use "use."

The weekend before Thanksgiving, residents in one Chinatown complex took time to "unstuff"—closets and drawers, that is—bringing 2,500 pounds of unwanted clothing to a special collection in their building.
In 2012 GrowNYC hosted an Earth Day textile collection as part of a larger community event in Chinatown, attracting residents from the nearby Confucius Plaza Apartments, who asked for more convenient opportunities to recycle unwanted clothing, shoes, linens and other textiles. With the help of our Manhattan Recycling Outreach Coordinator, the co-op held the first of what is now a bi-annual collection at the 762-unit apartment complex. GrowNYC advised management on the logistics of setting up a collection, connected them Wearable Collections (who also collects materials from Greenmarkets) and provided outreach and education assistance, from promoting the collection to educating residents about recycling with the help of bilingual volunteers. In the past two years the building has hosted six events and collected over 6.5 tons of material that will be reused or recycled into new products. Plans are underway to establish more frequent collections as resident demand for this service shows no sign of slowing, and building staff appreciate the lighter loads they must manage when taking out the trash.

Over 100 bags of recyclable materials were collected by volunteers.
The highly celebrated National Puerto Rican Day Parade that descended upon Manhattan's Fifth Avenue on Sunday, June 8 was red and white and green all over. A plan to educate participants about waste reduction, reuse and recycling resulted in more than 318 pounds of recyclable materials collected by GrowNYC and the Sierra Club Puerto Rico chapter. 50 volunteers trained by GrowNYC's office of Recycling Outreach and Education marched in the parade alongside the Puerto Rico Chapter of the Sierra Club in an effort to help an estimated audience of 2,000,000 keep it green. With signs and banners within in hand, volunteers approached spectators to collect beverage bottles and other recyclables for the duration of the event. GrowNYC's free event recycling services included volunteer recruitment, outreach to parade float participants before the event, education on recycling rules and the creation of an event recycling plan to reduce waste at the parade.
GrowNYC Greenmarkets are opening for the season throughout the city, bringing with them not only a bounty of fresh regional products, but also expanding weekly opportunities for New Yorkers to recycle textiles and compost food scraps.
In 2007, GrowNYC's newly-created Office of Recycling Outreach and Education began testing a program to collect clothing and textiles at Union Square and Grand Army Plaza Greenmarkets. Tax-deductible donations of textiles such as clothing, shoes and towels are collected and later sorted for reuse, or recycled into new products such as wiping rags and insulation. We quickly discovered New Yorkers' dedication to living sustainably and have met their demand for more recycling--36 Greenmarkets now offer this service, with 10 new locations starting up this spring and summer.
Since 2011, GrowNYC has worked to complement existing Greenmarket food scrap collections run by BIG!Compost and the Lower East Side Ecology Center, to meet the growing chorus of Greenmarket shoppers wishing to bring back trimmings from their weekly market haul. Today, in partnership with the NYC Department of Sanitation and community partners, 38 Greenmarkets host food scrap drop-offs at least once a week. Material collected is transported to one of several local sites in the five boroughs where it is transformed into compost, a fertile soil amendment for use in urban farming and gardening programs.
GrowNYC has collected more than 2.7 million pounds of textiles and 2.85 million pounds of food scraps at dozens of Greenmarket collection sites throughout the city. Together, food scraps and textiles comprise 23% of NYC's waste, making efforts like these critical to reducing the big apple's environmental footprint.

Last night, GrowNYC's Stop 'N' Swap® coordinators, TK Zellers and Carl-Harry Nau, received recognition for their work with the Sigma Alpha Delta Honor Society at Baruch College Society's Induction Ceremony. Affectionately known as our "swapateers," TK and Carl have provided nearly 200 hours of community service opportunities to help Honor Society members achieve their goal for the year. "This award represents our appreciation for GrowNYC's hard work and endless dedication to Sigma," said Ly Bach, chair of the society's volunteer committee. "We would not be able to give back to the community without your help with volunteering events."
Sigma Alpha Delta seeks to provide continuous support for its members in their pursuit of valuable communitarian contributions, with a focus on diversity and for the betterment of present and future generations. Sigma members have volunteered at numerous Stop 'N' Swap community reuse events, helping to sort and display items dropped off and ensuring a smooth operation from start to finish. Sigma Alpha Delta is one of many groups at Baruch that engage with GrowNYC by volunteering at Swaps, other events, and by working with our sister Greenmarket program. This is just the beginning, as GrowNYC looks forward to providing even more opportunities for Baruch students next semester.Want to volunteer at a Stop 'N' Swap or other activity? Check out our volunteer opportunities here!
Food has always been common ground that brings people together. Now, some New Yorkers are uniting over the scraps. This year the West Side Federation of Senior Supportive Housing (WSFSSH) hosted a Living Green Team Awards Ceremony, to celebrate and recognize superintendents and building managers who set the standard in energy efficiency and water conservation, among other environmental initiatives. In April the 24-building, 1,800+ unit housing and social service agency honored five representatives of buildings that partnered with GrowNYC to improve solid waste management through recycling and composting.

Growing up in Queens, I've always perceived New York City as a city that focused so little on making the world greener and more on establishing new businesses and infrastructure for one goal only: money. I perceived people as those who only focused on what is going on today, oblivious to the impacts their actions provide for the future. Earlier in my junior year, I began looking for internships on my school's website, trying to find opportunities to make New York City greener and eco-friendly. That's when I stumbled upon a volunteer/internship opportunity with…GrowNYC.
I decided to volunteer with GrowNYC because I knew I wanted to make a difference in this world, and be a part of an organization that is aware of the troubles all around us and promote effective solutions. One of the things GrowNYC does is bring awareness on the importance of recycling to local residents and local officials. They address many issues that exist within the five boroughs in New York City and provide solutions to take on these issues.
One of the issues they tackled was how much clothes are disposed every year in the trash, instead of being recycled or donated. What I found surprising was that during the course of one year, NYC residents will throw away about 200,000 tons of clothing, from t-shirts to towels to handbags, simply because it is more convenient than going to a thrift store to donate old clothes. GrowNYC has sought to relieve this issue with their weekly textile collections at Greenmarkets throughout the five boroughs and coordinate special one-time collections in apartment buildings, special events, libraries and more. Having interacted with other GrowNYC volunteers and the staff, I was able to learn more about what compels people to participate and see their tremendous dedication in providing solutions that benefit us and the environment.
GrowNYC also works to connect people with resources such as the re-fashioNYC initiative of the Department of Sanitation (DSNY), which funds GrowNYC's recycling programs. Designed to make recycling clothing more convenient, re-fashioNYC places clothing collection bins in residential buildings and services them at no cost. See how easy it can be to recycle textiles with my infographic!

GrowNYC's Office of Recycling Outreach and Education works with apartment buildings throughout the five boroughs to identify their challenges to recycling, improve recycling setup and educate all who live and work in the building. Take the Jamie Towers Cooperative Apartments, for example. For the past year, GrowNYC has worked with this 4-building, 600-unit complex in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx. We began with a "chute room makeover" on all floors to ensure that recycling areas had the appropriate signage, labeling, bins and bags. We then provided recycling trainings for all maintenance workers and workshops for building residents, who received sets of our Sort & Store recycling totes to help separate materials in their apartments. With the success of these initiatives, the property has gone from producing two bags of recyclables to a veritable mountain of material recovered for a second life. With our help, the building also established an on-site textile recycling collection and became one of the first buildings in the Bronx to collect electronics through the city's e-cycleNYC program. Want help for your apartment building? Send a message to one of our recycling coordinators!
How do you improve recycling in NYC schools? Involve the whole school in the effort!
Recycling protects our environment, stimulates economic development creating local jobs, and reduces global warming gases, benefitting the entire community. At these K-12 Staten Island schools in the Recycling Champion Program , involving the entire community was the key to increasing recycling and environmental stewardship, but the additional benefits experienced have been an added bonus.
New Dorp High School
New Dorp High School improved cafeteria Organics Collection by launching an outreach campaign. Principal Deirdre De Angelis emphasized the importance of student participation before televising a recycling video in every classroom, featuring their mascot, the Cougar. Custodial staff installed movie theatre style stantions next to the recycling station and additional staff instruction reinforced sorting. The Green Team sustained the effort by putting up posters and offering prizes for exemplary stewardship. Cafeteria recycling and organics collection increased by at least 60%.
Students really appreciate the added bonus: the cafeteria is much cleaner, and is a more pleasant place to eat. Cafeteria staff doesn't mind the change either, since they were cleaning up after the students!
P.S. 30 Westerleigh
P.S. 30 dramatically increased recycling across the school by creating a Green Team that helps with cafeteria monitoring, and also communicates with the student body during morning announcements. They kicked off their efforts with a school wide contest to decorate all their classroom paper recycling bins. The faculty enthusiastically supported the contest through their artistic flare and integrating recycling into lesson plans. The school's overall diversion rate improved by 31%, with paper recycling rates increasing by 63% in just a few week. Parents volunteered weekly to assist the Green Team with their own educational presentation. According to Sustainability Coordinator Clare Mitchell, participating on this selective team has increased not only ecological literacy and stewardship, but has also proved to be an effective tool to improve attitude and behavior – improving overall academic performance.
P.S. 21 Margaret Emery Elm Park
P.S. 21 created Dr. Seuss-like trees made from milk cartons, soda bottles, and magazines, to reinforce recycling, but also give students a creative way to practice their writing skills. Students wrote "their story" on individual "leaves" which were strung on wire bases to create the trees. Decorating the school at holiday time, Principal Gina Merino's enthusiasm for the project helped student vocabulary "grow" along with school pride and awareness of environmental issues. The Recycling Champions Program science class lessons reinforced the three RRR's, which overlap with many requirements in the science Common Core and Regents exams.
Stakeholders in these schools increased recycling by working together, sharing the responsibility to teach and encourage environmental stewardship. Improving recycling programs benefitted not only the NYC community, but their own school community as well.

Trophy's bills itself as "the hunter's steakhouse," but if you're picturing a jar of pickled eggs at the bar and a bunch of unshaven whiskey-drinkers in flannel shirts, you're way off base. Owned by Kevin Dettler - a big-game hunter from South Dakota who spends part of the year in Gilbert - this sprawling, expensively furnished restaurant in Queen Creek looks more like an elegant museum than anything else. And in a way, it is.
Dettler is one of an elite group of about 120 hunters to have bagged all 29 big-game species on the North American continent, dubbed by Safari Club International as the "North American 29." His family-owned restaurant, operated by sons Kiel and Brett, is filled with his trophies, including bison, elk and deer heads along the restaurant's perimeter, a cluster of mountain sheep behind the bar, a shaggy musk ox in one corner and a heart-stopping display of bears (with scary-looking teeth and claws) smack in the center of the dining room. Polished travertine floors, high ceilings and heavy woodwork reinforce the museumlike ambiance, which seems to have the same effect on everyone. Aside from the country music playing in the background, the place is remarkably quiet, as if we're all compelled to speak in hushed tones. Or maybe our voices just don't carry in a room of this proportion.
Wild game shows up on the menu, too, which features elk and buffalo sliders, elk and buffalo meatloaf, antelope smoked sausage and a buffalo burger. Nevertheless, the bulk of the menu focuses on steak and typical steakhouse starters and sides, such as shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad and creamed spinach. Except for two 12-ounce steaks, a duck entrée and The Big Dan - a 24-ounce bone-in rib eye priced at $37 - everything rings in at less than $20.
Now here's the catch: the room is infinitely more exciting than the food. But let's accentuate the positive, starting with a fresh spinach salad, prettied up with local Fossil Creek goat cheese, candied pecans, fresh apple and mild pesto dressing ($8). It's nice. And pork wings (which are actually tender riblets, sauced with either barbecue or sharp Buffalo wing sauce) aren't bad, either, although I'd think long and hard about spending nine bucks for four little pieces again. House-cured salmon, sprinkled with capers and served on crostini with a smear of citrus cream cheese (the citrus indiscernible), is pleasant, too, the silky salmon enhanced by a squirt of lemon ($8).
Oh, but how disappointing the elk and buffalo meatloaf is - two utterly bland slabs of it placed over a mound of what are surely instant mashed potatoes, despite the lumps ($13). A dark brown puddle of Cabernet demi-glace does nothing to ameliorate the situation, and I wonder: 1. Is this really a time-consuming, made-in-house demi or a mix? And 2. Wouldn't hunters and other outdoorsy types prefer good old-fashioned gravy anyway? I know I would. Not sure how the kitchen managed it, but accompanying haricots vert have no taste either.
Dense antelope sausage, smoky and agreeably salty, marks a big improvement, even though I get the same mashed potatoes and a similarly unremarkable demi-glace, purportedly seasoned with juniper berries, which, once again, I cannot taste ($13). The buffalo burger, served with regular fixings, is actually pretty good, the meat a little richer than ground beef ($10). The sweet potato fries alongside are from a bag, I'm guessing.
You'd think steaks would be the best thing Trophy's has to offer, but alas, not so. The 6-ounce filet mignon, which at least bears the hash marks of the grill, needs salt and pepper ($19). Meanwhile, the 9-ounce rib eye (ordered rare, $19) looks gray, as if it's spent no time on the grill at all. I realize a good steak needs no extras, but salt, pepper and smoky char seem pretty rudimentary to me.
Aside from the salad, the most successful dish has been tart-sweet three-berry cobbler, served steaming hot with vanilla ice cream ($5). A warm, vanilla ice cream-topped chocolate chip cookie sounded promising, but it was too dry and stale to even finish ($5).
I swear, our sweet little server must have asked us a half dozen times how we liked the food, quizzing us on every little aspect of the meal. We lied and said everything was fine because really, where to stop had we started a verbal critique? Like I said, Trophy's makes a far better museum than restaurant anyway.

For family that lost home to Sandy, 'a miracle'
In reality, he didn't know how the family was going to cope or where they would spend Christmas. Insurance wouldn't cover the basement area. He couldn't afford to pay for repairs himself. And though friends and volunteers offered to help, most could spare only a few hours because they were so busy dealing with damage to their own homes.
"We were in a tough situation," Chris said.
So they gladly agreed to meet with Denihan. Perhaps he would offer to pay for the sheet rock, or a generator, Chris thought. That would be nice.
Denihan showed up with a contractor. He walked through the house. He talked to the children. He seemed kind and matter-of-fact and purposeful.
Standing on their front porch, in the chilly morning sun, Denihan made a promise. He would rebuild their home. They could make any alterations they wanted, like installing a wheelchair-accessible shower and central air, something the Troys had dreamed of, because Connor's disease causes him to overheat.
"I'll take care of everything," Denihan said. "And we'll start first thing tomorrow."
It was a few days before Thanksgiving and the Troys, distracted by the move to the borrowed house and their upcoming trip to Florida, didn't fully comprehend. What exactly did he mean by "everything?"
It wasn't until a moving van trundled up the next morning and workers carted off their remaining belongings and started tearing down walls, and Denihan told Kerry Ann to start picking out paint colors and tile, that the enormity of it began to sink in.
"This stranger walks into our lives and offers not just to rebuild our home, but to build us a better home," said Kerry Ann. "And another family lends us their home. It's absolutely a miracle."
The trip to Disney World was the best of their lives. Connor had never been happier, bright and alert and grinning from ear to ear as he met the Magic Kingdom characters - Mickey and Woody and the Minions and, of course, Kermit. He went on carousel rides specially rigged for wheelchairs, splashed in the pool in his water chair and ate ice cream all day long.
Back home, they marvel at their new accommodations: The house is bigger than their own, with sweeping views of the Atlantic and a backyard with a swing-set that Katie calls her private park.
Still, they wrestle with how to come to grips with their new reality. And how to give thanks.
The Troys are used to struggle, to battling through on their own. Kerry Ann's father died when she was a 19, after seven years in a coma, and she helped raise her younger siblings. They nearly lost Connor a few years ago, after spinal surgery left him in a body-cast for eight weeks and doctors didn't think he would survive. Kerry Ann's mother, Kathy, spent a year living with them in the basement, while her burned home was rebuilt.
So they find themselves agonizing over Denihan's generosity, sure of their gratitude but unsure how to process it.
