Profits up 174 percent at Alico Inc.
LaBelle-based Alico Inc., a grower and land manager, squeezed out more profits in its second quarter after seeing a rise in citrus sales.
The company operates on a fiscal year, with its second quarter ending March 31.
For that quarter, the company reported profits of $7.4 million, or $1.01 a share. That was up more than 174 percent from $2.7 million, or 37 cents a share, a year ago.
Meanwhile, the company's total operating revenue grew more than 48 percent to $54.1 million, up from $36.5 million last year.
Agricultural revenue in the quarter increased by nearly 50 percent to $53.4 million, up from $35.7 million a year ago.
Most of the company's revenues in the second quarter came from its citrus operations. Those revenues grew to $45.4 million, compared to $31.6 million last year.
The company produced more citrus, got an earlier start in harvesting its Valencias and saw an increase in its harvest and haul revenues. There was also better pricing for fruit.
Alico also saw its revenues from sugarcane sweeten in the second quarter. They rose more than 105 percent to $7.6 million, up from $3.7 million last year. The company harvested 4,000 additional acres and prices were higher.
On Feb. 17, Alico's board declared a cash dividend of 4 cents a share. It was paid out on April 16.
"Our second quarter results from citrus operations were exceptional," said JD Alexander, Alico's president and CEO, in a statement. "We finished harvesting our early and mid-season crop in the second quarter and, effective today, have substantially completed the harvest of our Valencia crop. We anticipate the overall citrus crop production of all varieties for the 2012 fiscal year to be approximately 13 percent greater than the prior year."
In comparison, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting that Florida's citrus production this season overall will be 3.3 percent higher than last year. This will be the second year in a row that Alico has exceeded the statewide increases, Alexander said.
"Over recent weeks, there has been a significant decline in the citrus and sugar commodity prices," he said. "These short-term commodity price fluctuations underscore the importance of our preference for multi-year delivery contracts."
The contracts have price protections, which lessen the blow of short-term price changes. "Because of these multi-year contracts and our improved production results, we continue to be confident about our future outlook," Alexander said.

31 year old woman | Houston, TX, USA | Seeking men 29-37 in Texas, United States
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." ~ Steve Jobs
Genuine, loyal, compassionate, and trustworthy: these are the most important qualities I'm looking for in my ideal match. I hope to find someone who can be my "best friend" and share experiences in this crazy, beautiful world - someone who finds joy, beauty, humor, and fun in their life. I love when someone can have me rolling on the floor laughing! I feel like laughter truly is medicine for the soul! I definitely look forward to having new experiences, and I hope to find someone who I can share those new experiences with. I think it's fun to change it up from the same old things all the time. I hope that I never have a day go by where I don't learn something new. I'm a Registered Nurse, and I love what I do for a living. One of the greatest feelings is knowing that at the end of the day I've made a positive difference in the life of another person. My family and friends are a very important part of my life. The majority of my family members do not live in Houston, and I look forward to seeing them as often as I get a chance. Since I don't get to spend so much time with my family, my friends are a vital part of my life. There is nothing that I wouldn't do for family or a friend. My friends in Houston are amazing, and I feel like they truly are like family. Because I had been concentrating so much on my education and getting to where I am now, I have not had much time to go out and meet new people outside of school and work. That's the reason I'm here! :-)

I have a shih tzu/yorkie mix named Cooper. He is such a sweet boy. Definitely keeps me entertained!
I always enjoy trying new things and checking out new places. Even though I've lived in Houston for a couple years, I really haven't had an opportunity to really explore all Houston has to offer. I think it's about time to change that!
Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX
I like a multitude of different types of music, but my favorite type of music is anything I could dance to. I enjoy going out with friends, whether that be to dinner, a movie, a concert, or to a bar/club.
Work tends to be very busy, and it keeps me on my toes the majority of the time. After work, I love to come home, curl up with a good book, or watch one of my favorite TV shows.
I usually tend to read a few books at a time, but the last book I finished was "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. It was a great book!

29 year old man | F D Roosevelt Station, NY, USA | Seeking women 24-29 within 40 miles of New York, NY
I'm an easy going guy looking to make a meaningful connection with someone.
I initially started writing this paragraph by trying to flex my vocab muscles, but i realized how unnecessary that was because this is just a short intro (if you couldn't tell, I'm new to this). Me: I am an easy going, caring and open minded guy with a decent sense of humor. I stress the open mindedness because i truly am. Under the "my date" section, you can see that i don't have a preference for ethnicity because i see no purpose in doing so. I like to think that i am cultured/worldly, but that is only because of my diverse background/upbringing... I also traveled a lot when i was younger. I love my family and friends because of the wonderful support system that they provide me. Aside from all of that, i love to cook, i love sports (not all, mainly soccer, but i can tolerate the others for mere entertainment purposes). I love to smile (if you couldn't tell from my pictures). You: My ideal partner would also be easy going and caring as i mentioned above. Being open minded is also a big thing for me. You should be willing to teach and learn just as much as i am willing to do so. Smiling is also a requirement, along with the ability to have a conversation.. no one likes a dull person (at least i don't think). Lastly, being driven and ambitious (not too crazy though) are also great qualities. I hope that helped?!?!

What Planes lacks in novelty, it makes up for with eye-popping aerial sequences and a high-flying comic spirit.
There's nothing groundbreaking about the animation or script. That said, the characters and story still offer low-key charms.
Aug 8, 2013On just about every other level other than visuals, Planes is dry, dry, dry. There's no verbal wit, no standout vocal performances.
Planes looks, sounds and feels like a direct-to-video project, which in an earlier age when people still bought DVDs it would have been. In theaters, it's nothing more than a laughless 90 minute commercial for toys available at a retailer near you.
Can a plane jump a shark when it's already in the air? To Disney, that question is moot. It's so certain that Planes will make a mint in toys, if not in theaters, that it's already slated a sequel for next summer.

Sep 9, 2013In 5 weeks this under-rated movie made US$79 mio including US$4.4 mio last weekend. ON YOUR PLANES CRITICS AS WELLS AS USERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dec 4, 2013This review contains spoilers. If it was not for the abysmal 'Cars 2' and less then glossy 'Brave' recent Pixar releases would look like failers but thanks to these two let downs it makes 'Planes' shine in comparison. It was originally planned to be a direct to DVD release but Disney took the gamble and brought it to the big screen. Some may argue this was a gimmick to sell merchandise but the truth is kids owned toy cars and planes before Pixar came along and their is no doubt they still will when they are gone. This was defiantly the right choice and also clever merging it with the 'Cars' Universe despite not featuring any of the main characters from the Cars franchise.
The film is based around Dusty Crophopper, voiced by Dane Cook is a crop duster plane with a fear of heights. He longs to become a racer and compete in the Wings across the World Championship. With help training from a former Navy War plane named Skipper(Stacy Keach) ,Dusty enters but fails to get past the qualifying stage. However after another plane is disqualified Dusty takes his place.
Like 'Cars' the planes are portrayed as different nationalities including Bulldog, a British plane voiced by John Cleese, Mexican El Chupacabra, Italian Arturo and many more. This gives the film some good humour without being offensive. We also see races across, Germany, China, India and more. The earlier races are brief so do not become tedious.
'Planes' provides a vast amount of charm and will appeal to not only the younger viewers or older viewers as well. The animation is not what we have come to expect from Pixar but neither was Cars and leaves us with little concern. It may not be the best Pixar film but it is by no means the worst and is a worthy addition, sitting somewhere just below the middle.… Collapse

Everything I've typically come to expect from a Disney animated movie, like greatIt's clear that Disney just phoned in this "Cars" spin-off. Everything I've typically come to expect from a Disney animated movie, like great plot, tons of humor, big name voice actors, and excellent animation, are all lacking. Animation is pretty great, but nowhere near the quality of a typical animated Disney movie. The plot has been done thousands of times before and it is almost completely devoid of any funny moments. It is also really hard to care about any of these characters, especially since the majority of them are irritating. The voice actors do good jobs, but they are mostly C or D-list actors, which is incredibly odd in my opinion.
I found this to be a very mediocre movie that definitely feels like a straight-to-DVD type film, rather than something that actually made it's way into theatres. It's clear that not much effort was put into this film, and that Disney was just trying to get by on the Cars name. I find it hard to imagine that kids will actually enjoy this movie thanks to it's humorless presentation, unless they just really have a thing for airplanes. Parents will get an even worse experience than their kids, who would only find the barest form of entertainment possible here anyway. Truly this is a throwaway and mediocre effort from Disney. If you are looking for a good movie that will entertain you and your little ones on a family movie night, do yourself a favor and pass on this mediocre one. There are plenty of better options.… Expand

Then the film came out. And when I saw the film, it was crap. There is always some type of "thing" in every Disney film I've seen that just grips you and sometimes leaving you with a sense of satisfaction, this film does not have that. It seems like the whole purpose of this film is to make a franchise off of it, for profit. The animation says Disney, the story is very cliche and the characters have personalities that you can find in any other underdog film. Kids will drag their parents to see it, have a good time and enjoy it, I know that much. But overall, this film is nothing but, something to keep you occupied for 92 minutes.… Expand

Then please, don't watch this movie.

The poor ambulance and firetruck cars would have to come, sad eyes on their windshields showing tears slowly slipping down their cheeks as they can do nothing but try to find pieces through the wreckage.

Unique story line, characters with depth, comedy, plot development. Planes felt like an hour and a half commercial. Nothing original whatsoever.

Then the underdog wins. Yeah, we saw it already, it was called CARS. I didn't laugh once watching Planes. They're really getting lazy and expecting us to like this uninspired garbage. Hmmmm... whats next? What action figures can they market at Walmart? "Trains" of course. What about "Hot Air Balloons"?

Nadal ends Melzer's march
Four-time champion seals Roland Garros rematch with Soderling
Also see
Rafael Nadal has reached his fifth French Open final after seeing off Jurgen Melzer in straight sets to set up a mouth-watering clash against Robin Soderling on Sunday.
The four-time Roland Garros champion saw his unbeaten record in Paris ended by the Swede in the fourth round of last year's tournament, but the Spanish second seed has the chance to exact revenge after dashing Melzer's grand slam dreams with a 6-2 6-3 7-6 win on Court Philippe Chatrier.
"Playing on this court is amazing so I'm happy to be in this final, said Nadal.
"I want to congratulate Jurgen because he had a great tournament, beating two top players, so I want to wish him the best for the rest of the year."
Of his next opponent, the recently-turned 24-year-old added: "Soderling is playing really well. I will go on court and do my best and if he beats me I will congratulate him.
"For sure, it will be a difficult match."
No miracle
Melzer, the first Austrian since Thomas Muster in 1995 to reach the last four, came back from losing the first two sets to defeat world number three Novak Djokovic in his quarter-final.
But there was to be no repeat of that miracle victory against fellow left-hander Nadal, who has the added incentive of reclaiming the world number one spot from Federer if he wins the Coupe des Mousquetaires.
Nadal cruised through the first set in just 29 minutes with breaks in the sixth game, courtesy of a Melzer double fault, and the eighth when the Spaniard unleashed a rapier, cross-court backhand.
Melzer, playing in his 29th grand slam, continued to struggle against the classy Nadal, who quickly broke in the fourth game of the second set to lead 3-1 before immediately surrendering his own serve.
It did not remain on serve for long though, as Nadal typically charged back for a 5-2 lead before play was briefly interrupted when a spectator fainted in the 28-degree heat.
But there was no halting the Nadal assault as the former champion went on to take the second set 6-3.
Nadal broke to love in the first game of the third set with a succession of deep, razor-sharp groundstrokes which left Melzer breathless from the chase.
Melzer gallantly clung on and retrieved the break in the 10th game as Nadal served for the match.
The Austrian saved two match points in the tie-break, the second with a nerveless drop shot, but dumped a forehand into the net on the third.
Nadal, who has yet to drop a set en route to Sunday's showpiece, will now lock horns with fifth seed Soderling, who triumphed in an epic five setter against Tomas Berdych earlier on Friday.

30 jobs to go as bus services axed in Carlisle
Published at 14:29, Tuesday, 12 February 2013
Thirty jobs will go at a Cumbrian bus firm when it slashes services next month.
Reays Coaches of Wigton is to stop running its numbers 63, 63a, 64 and 70 City Hopper routes in Carlisle.
The firm says the move - on a date to be confirmed by the Traffic Commissioner - will lead to the 30 losses, mainly drivers.
Managing director Chris Reay said the decision had been taken with "deep regret and sadness" but he had no alternative.
Particular routes had not performed as expected and the City Hopper services had been placed under pressure by rival operator Stagecoach.
Staff were told about the decision at a meeting at the company's Carlisle depot off London Road yesterday.
Reays says its 64a and 75 City Hopper routes will continue and it has plans to improve the 75 route between Dalston and Cotehill via the city centre.
All Reays' other public bus services in Carlisle and elsewhere across Cumbria remain unaffected. The company's travel centre in the city centre will remain open.
Its private hire coaches and school bus services will continue to operate as normal.
The company's bus operation will focus more on rural routes and other services linking towns, cities and the Lake District.
The firm added it expects to create 15 jobs this year at its depots in Egremont and Penrith due to the expansion of services.
Reays Coaches - named best independent operator at the 2011 UK Bus Awards - employs 150 staff. It employed 80 before City Hopper was launched in October 2010.

African Traditional Medicines Research Group
Monograph project
of Pharmacy
University of the Western Cape
South African Traditional Medicines Research Group (SATMeRG)
triste (Kaneelbol)
from Jakob Breyne's Exoticarum .. Plantarum Centuria Prima,
published in Danzig in 1678.
Pharmacopoeia Monograph Project:
Why is the project necessary?
An estimated 70% of South
Africans regularly use traditional medicines, most of which
are derived from plant species indigenous to the region. These
may be obtained on prescription from a traditional healer, purchased
from herb sellers or gathered in the wild for self-medication.
quantity of medicinally active principle(s) present in these
herbal remedies may vary genetically, seasonally, geographically
or according to the mode of preparation (collection, drying
and storage). It may also happen that superficially similar
but botanically unrelated species are included with the genuine
will benefit?
Medicines of variable potency
and/or poor batch-to-batch consistency are unsatisfactory and
may be downright dangerous. The goal of the monograph project
is to protect those who have an interest in traditional medicines
(patient, prescriber, pharmacist, manufacturer, health authority,
medicines regulatory body) against medicine of poor quality.
The project seeks to do this by setting, for selected traditional
medicines, standards which define their identity, purity and
potency. This approach to formalizing the use of traditional
medicines in primary health care has been endorsed by the WHO
and is compatible with the aims of the WHO Collaborating Centre
for Drug Policy which was established in the Western Cape in
1995 as a shared venture of UWC's Pharmacy School and UCT's
Medical School.
(wilde daga, lion's ear, umfincafincane) from Breyne's Centuria
The establishing
of a set of standards which together define the identity, purity
and potency of a particular medicine, is common practice.
Such information constitutes a monograph for that medicine.
A collection of monographs is the basis of a pharmacopoeia -
a handbook of medicines information that has been given official
status by a country or group of countries and which is regularly
updated to reflect current usage. In South Africa, which for
historical reasons has never had its own pharmacopoeia, the
pharmaceutical and medical professions use the British Pharmacopoeia
(BP), supplemented by the Pharmacopoeias of Europe and the United
States of America. These works comprise monographs for the medicines
currently in common use in the Western allopathic system, about
70% of which are synthetic and the remainng 30% derived from
natural products.
What monographs
are available for indigenous traditional medicines?
two South African traditional medicines have ever been the subject
of BP monographs, in contrast to the many European, American
and Asian traditional remedies that were included in earlier
editions of the BP and the fair number (e.g. Belladonna Leaf,
Liquorice Root and Cloves) that are listed in the current edition.
The African Pharmacopoeia, commissioned in 1984 by the Organisation
of African Unity for the purpose of recognizing the central
role of traditional medicines in the health care systems of
African countries, includes very few monographs dealing with
South African plant species. The WHO, through its Essential
Medicines Programme, is in the process of compiling a World
Pharmacopoeia of widely-used traditional herbal medicines, but
the vast majority of monographs prepared to date deal with non-African
plant species. The present project aims to make good this deficit
by drawing up, for the first time, monographs for 100 plant
species in common use as traditional medicines in South Africa.
(wilde als, unhlonyane, wormwood) from Breyne's Centuria
will the monograph project achieve its aim?
An initial species list has
been compiled on the basis of suitability for the treatment
of common, self-limiting ailments, unlikely toxicity and ready
availability. The developing of monographs for these species
is familiar territory to the pharmacist, whose training encompasses
the discipline of pharmacognosy (the study of natural-product
medicines). The laboratories of the School of Pharmacy at the
University of the Western Cape (UWC) are equipped to carry out
the procedures basic to monographing, which are well-documented
and span botany, chemistry, microbiology and pharmacology.
are the project participants?
project is housed in the School of Pharmacy and staffed by two
full-time scientists. Collaboration with the Departments of
Botany, Chemistry and Microbiology at UWC and the Peninsula
Technikon has boosted project progress in terms of invaluable
assistance as well as opportunity for student participation.
Much of the authenticated plant material required by the project
has been provided by the horticultural staff of the National
Botanical Institute's gardens at Kirstenbosch, Betty's Bay and
Worcester. Additional material has been made available by the
Curators of the Cape Flats Nature Reserve (UWC), the West Coast
National Park, the Tygerberg and Durbanville Nature Reserves
and the Montagu Museum Garden.

Social media gurus commented on Rotolo's blog during the immediate days following the event, but as Rotolo had hoped, his open discussion engaged a key contributor:
"Hello ? I want to take this opportunity to accept full responsibility for this situation. I am the Price Chopper employee who triggered this chain of events," Cetawayo posted on Rotolo's blog. "I took matters into my own hands. And though well-intentioned, I clearly went over the line ? without the knowledge of our consumer insights people or my direct supervisor, the Vice President of Public Relations and Consumer and Marketing Services. I was trying to understand and engage a disgruntled customer and clearly lost sight of my goal."
Cetawayo, however, was not present at the discussion at SU. And due to company policy, Reale could only comment that "Price Chopper took corrective action both with our social media policy and with the associate." She said she could not discuss specific actions taken.
In addition to discussing the conflict, the group also touched on how social media is changing the way people get information.
"Once [information] gets out there, you can't stop it," Reale said to the crowd. "There was a lot of misinformation out there. And security had to be raised in our stores in Syracuse because it became like a lynch mob."
In many ways, the discussion brought up more questions than answers.
"How do you draw the line between employees representing the company on their personal social media accounts and yet not running your employees' lives?" one student asked.
"That is a great question," Reale said. "I don't think there's an answer to that yet."
With social media outlets like Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare dominating cyberspace, profiles showcasing people's personal and professional lives are becoming more difficult to maintain.
As Golub said in today's discussion, "Social media is changing our business. You get the good, the bad and the ugly."
But what started out as an ugly conflict emerged into an open discussion of understanding.
"I think it's awesome that [Price Chopper is] a part of this discussion," Rotolo said at the end of the event. "No company is going to make every customer happy, and I think Price Chopper understands that." And many of the students left satisfied as well. Alyssa Henry, 22, is a Masters student studying Information Management at SU's iSchool and has been following the Price Chopper fall-out since it began.
"Where I thought [this discussion] was lacking was Price Chopper taking responsibility for that employee ? but overall I think they did a great job," Henry said. "I really respect Price Chopper for coming.
Reale said this recent incident has contributed to an expansion of their social media presence.
"Last month we gained about 500 Twitter followers," she said.
And as of now, sales seem to be unaffected. "There is no indication that there's been any loss in customers or market share due to this associate's behavior," Reale said.

Base arena decision on more than 'intuition'

The Bradley Center, which opened in 1988, is the oldest arena in the National Basketball Association without a significant upgrade.
Intangible benefits of facility, team must be considered
Whether quantifiable economic and fiscal benefits will justify an investment of public money in a new downtown arena is a matter for detailed analysis and critical thought - not "economic intuition." »Read Full Article

I am the user of ICICI Direct, Service is very worst as per my view and experience.I have recomonded 2 of my coligues one out of it trading kit reached Qatar instead of Oman. Another friend september 2006 filed application, till now the trading kitnot reached.And software which they use it is out dated some update required. Other wise you will loose half of the time refreshing the page.

I am a NRI customer of ICICIDirect. It is very difficult to open account in ICICIDirect. It took me three months to open trading account after sending hundreds of e-mails and telephone contact with the ICICI official. ICICI brokerage charges are very high for delivery based trading. The ICICI management should look into the customer concerns and lower the brokerage charges. Also, it is difficlut to access their site during trading session. The ICICI should update their software.

I went to the bank and placed a request for address change. A week later I got a letter telling me that my account was closed. Its been 2 months after that, still they are sending me round in circles. And of course brokerage is too high. ICICI is getting customers only because of advertising. Their service is painful.

Trading with ICICI DIRECT is easy and convenient.. But brokerage is high in the world(perhaps), Customer care service is horrible. I have experienced almost 2 months struggle to get my problem solved but still trying. You can not imagine what amount and why they are debiting from the linked ICICI Bank account... If you will forget about what charges the ICICI is levying other services are almost good.

Not only share trading but in every activity, ICICI Bank is good so long as you do not have to any individual face to face. For all account opening activities, you have to go through agents, who with a few exceptions, are totally incompetent and ever ready to mislead and misguide the potential clients of ICICI Bank. As a result, when client has to deal with ICICI staff during course of operation he is left totally confused a frustrated. The ICICI staff is rude and least concerned about the concerns of clients. Phone banking staff is not having authority of any kind. They mostly continue with their own activities and enjoy clients being put to wait endlessly.On the whole, if you want a narrow straight line operations where you do not have to visit the ICICI Bank branch, and you can make your transaction over the internet, at ATM or over phone, ICICI is one of the best banks.

Bokerage for NRIs very high !!! Along with Service tax , it goes to 1.53% for bying and again 1.53% for selling. Account opening with them is a nightmare due to handling by fresh collegiates who do not know anything abt the process and just made to jump in the well by facing customers !!

Horrible service, worst bank, most problems are due to typing errors. You fill the account opening form, then they come back and tell you that information does not match.They mistype my name, address and other details and never get back. Average account opening time is 3 months plus unlimited follow ups.Brokerage too high, 0.90% after tax for each transaction below 10 lakhs. Hence, imagine paying 1.8% for every buy-sell.If you are a trader and not a investor, brokerage will kill you...also if stock broking is not your primary job...dealing with ICICI shall frustate you...I am moving all my family accounts to SBI and Motilal tie up. They can be equally bad but their fees cannot be more than this.

Very high brokerage, very poor connectivity during peak hours, squaring up of margin trades (intraday) as early as 2.30 p.m, non-availability of toll-free number, very poor response in help line etc., makes the service of ICICI Direct unaffordable, as compared to their competitors such as Religare, Geojit, Sharekhan etc.,

U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Ted Poe
Summer 2008 Site Review
This summer I interned on Capitol Hill with a congressman from Houston. There were numerous other interns on The Hill and although it's a competitive internship to obtain, it's certainly one worth pursuing. The exposure one gets to the governmental system and powerful figures in U.S. politics is unparalleled in other internships, and the networking opportunities are nothing short of abundant.
The duties of an intern include sorting mail, answering phones, constituent correspondence, and last but not least, giving Capitol Building tours. Upon arriving in DC, I underwent a week of training. This consisted of classes teaching interns the relatively new program designed by Lockheed Martin to store all the constituent correspondence data. Another class on giving Capitol tours was taken, and yet another (self-conducted) class on the layout of The Hill itself. After the first week, the learning doesn't stop. Although you have no remaining classes, you are certainly still learning and thinking on your feet; observing your peers (both fellow interns and office staff-members) is the most valuable skill to posses for the first half of your internship. The second half should be spent trying to perfect those skills you learned in the first half.
By week 4, you are well in a system at the office: you get there, you check the schedule for tours and other scheduled events, and you sort the morning mail. This includes passing out mail to the different staff members for whom in pertains. After giving a tour, I would spend the remainder of the day serving as a Legislative Assistant's aid. Anything that she needed I would do. She was new, and had been backed up quite a bit.
Interning on Capitol Hill is an amazing experience. I recommend it for anyone interested in meeting powerful people and making lasting friendships. It is an invaluable experience in terms of anyone pursuing Government, and can be applied to many other areas of learning as well, I'm sure. Overall, I give my summer experience an A+!

31 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-35 within 50 miles of Santa Monica, CA
this is embarassing
Hello ladies, I'm looking for a friend, more or less. That's what life is all about... exchanging energies. But not just any friend, the particular kind I am looking for is one that knows you like no other. You share moments, both good and bad. Laugh at the most ridiculous things. Finishing each others sentences is rather cliché, understanding your partner when no one else does is ****ing beautiful. As a child I lived a mile from the gulf. I'd walk to the beach and explore the sandbars and jump off piers. At some point, much of my youth was spent in this little patch of woods that spanned a neighborhood block. We would climb from tree to tree for several yards without touching the ground. It was called the monkey trail. Ha, this one time we loaded five people on this big rope swing. I should mention that you get on the swing from an adjacent tree to begin with momentum. And forewarn you that a thirteen year old does not belong on the bottom of a rope swing loaded with five people. The tree swayed so low that we hit the ground. I hit the ground. With the weight of four people on my chest, at the force gained from an altitude of ten feet. I was out. I didn't get my wind back for at least a minute. And I'm pretty sure I had fractured, Ok, maybe only bruised, a rib or two. Moving on, I get a kick out of helping strangers. It's sort of an unconditional love. With strangers that is. I think that I've grown weary of caring for any specific person. After losing many forms of where I found my love, I don't know, caring ****ing hurts. Just make a note, there will be times that I pull over to help change a tire, or stop on the sidewalk to buy food for some homeless person. If my calculation is correct, @ one person a week for a year, you will have directly affected fifty two people. I am a compassion based vegan. I suppose being vegan makes things a bit easier for me to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but there are a lot of things I avoid due to commercialism and preference. Believe me, I eat plenty. I run daily, I lift daily, I do yoga daily and I sweat daily. I prefer being lean and mean, daydreaming that I can be dropped in the wild and walk out. Music is the predecessor of art. I've wanted to be many things. Our world and it's vast array of "what you could be"'s has made it difficult for me to devote to one path. But I strive to do and be my best in any circumstance. I will always believe there to be room for furthering my education, and will likely end up owning my own restoration business or becoming a nutritionist/dietician.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing

Currently on the prowl for a new pup.
The Annenberg Photo Gallery is one of my favorites. The Nuart. The Santa Monica's backbone trail overlooking the pacific. Any place that sells vegan treats.
Laughing, at everything, including my own misfortunes. My grandma. Sweet potato fries. Ferrets. Campfires. Stargazing. Cloud gazing. Cuss words. Waking up in the woods. Old things.
I really love playing with my food, becoming a vegan has made things interesting. When I'm off work, I like to pay a visit to the mountains.
I just finished "Alice's Through the Looking Glass". Currently on a collection of short's by Hemingway.

|Program Description:
With its long history of neutrality, independence, and protection of the disenfranchised, Geneva is the world's capital for international organizations dedicated to conflict transformation, social justice, and sustainable development. While the city retains much of its French heritage and Swiss culture, Geneva's population is truly international, with a unique microculture of social and political organizations.
From its base in Geneva, this program provides a thorough background in international studies, using an experiential, case study approach. The program addresses the most contemporary international issues, with classroom seminars supplemented by lectures and briefings at international and nongovernmental organizations, including United Nations agencies, the Red Cross, and platforms of the World Trade Organization.
Interactive research studies and field excursions in Switzerland, France, and Belgium deepen students' understanding of the challenges faced by organizations that foster multilateral diplomacy, peace building, human rights, environmental accountability, international trade, and global cooperation.
The location and history of Geneva, hosting a great number of international and nongovernmental organizations, have determined its truly international nature. The international community of Geneva provides a unique opportunity to study with experts of academic and international organizations. Their knowledge and field experience provide concrete illustrations of multilateral diplomacy in the areas of conflict resolution, integration, development, environment, complex emergencies, and security issues. Numerous institutional libraries, documentation centers, and think tanks offer excellent research material and information. This exceptional learning environment leads to original research and independent study opportunities.
Network with International Experts
Experts of academic and international organizations challenge students' thinking through critical discourse. Students have numerous opportunities to interact with participants at international conferences and meetings of the United Nations and international organizations in Geneva. Diplomats and experts advise students' participation in the discussion, reporting, and publishing of documents.
Further Career and Personal Goals
Interactive research studies provide students with practical experience for academic and professional development. Students develop confidence in one's ability to complete an Independent Study Project, including interviewing and individual and group research methods. The ISP also allows students to create a solid professional network and form a concrete base for future academic and professional career choices. Career choice becomes a concrete reality.

On 3 September 2007, the European Commission hosted the first ever meeting of Ministers and other representatives from all the countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) with their counterparts from the EU. The purpose was to exchange views on what had been learnt from the first years of ENP and what could jointly be done to strengthen it for the future. The conference focussed particularly on the opportunities for trade liberalisation, mobility and the challenges of climate change and energy security. Under the title "Working Together - Strengthening the European Neighbourhood Policy", the opening speeches were addressed by José Manuel Barroso, President of the EC, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, Member of the EC in charge of External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy, and Luís Amado, Portuguese Minister for Foreign Affairs and President in office of the Council.
