Cache In Trash Out | Geocaching.com Videos
That's just… cute
The sun weaves its warm beams through the thick growth of the forest. The birds are singing a familiar tune and in the distance you hear the careful footsteps of a deer. The geocache you are looking for is only a few feet away. Your geosense is heightened, you take a deep breath inhaling the calming perfume of the forest and look around. You spot a small stack of unnaturally parallel branches and…sure enough, the geocache you were looking for is right underneath!
"Aww", you say, "I love nature!" Guess what: so do we. And what's the best way to give that love to Mother Earth? Hide an environmentally-friendly geocache.
To help you out, we put together a list of our top tips and tricks for nature-nice geocaches:
Think before you hide. If you're hiding a geocache in the forest or a park make sure to get permission from land management first. They will be able to let you know if there are special rules or regulations in the area and if there is wildlife you could be disturbing. Pro-tip: To give park and land managers a better understanding of what to expect, check out nearby geocaches and calculate the number of geocache logs per month. That way they can decide if the number of additional visitors each month is sustainable.
Have a comprehensive geocache details page. A good description can help fellow geocachers do the right thing. Let them know what they are looking for and what they need to bring. Parking coordinates for the trailhead or specific local policies are important information to put on the details page as well. If you are hiding in a sensitive area, you don't want geocachers to turn over every stone and create countless "geotrails". Prevent this from happening by choosing the appropriate ratings for difficulty and terrain, and come up with a good hint.
Be considerate when hiding – for a moment like this!
Place the geocache carefully. When looking for the perfect hiding place for your geocache, be sure to pick a spot that doesn't disturb what's already there. That means no digging, chopping, cutting, burrowing, etc… Another good idea is to place your geocache near an existing trail and add a waypoint for the coordinates of the trailhead, so cachers won't approach the cache from the wrong side and have to bushwhack.
Choose an appropriate geocache container. Your geocache container should be waterproof, tough, scentless and of appropriate size. Searching for a micro in the woods with heavy tree coverage and spotty reception can lead to a fruitless search and disturbed wilderness. Food or scented trade items (for example candles or air fresheners) can attract animals that might chew up the container and possibly get sick. If your geocache is attached to something, don't put any permanent fasteners (screws, nails, etc.) into any trees or shrubs, regardless if they're dead or alive.
Some geocachers are tree-huggers.
Work with your geocaching community volunteer. Give your geocaching community volunteer reviewer as much information as you can about the location and placement of the geocache. They have substantial experience and will know if the placement or attachment of a geocache could cause potential problems for plants and wildlife.
Don't leave Cache-Trash. It happens: you move away or you just do not have the time to maintain your geocache anymore. Before you archive it, ask around. Maybe one of your fellow geocachers wants to adopt the geocache. (Go here to learn how to adopt a geocache.) If you have to archive the geocache after all, be sure to remove your geocache container from its hiding spot.
Do you feel ready to get outside and explore nature? We hope that these tips will help to make you nature's best friend when you hide your next geocache. But this is not all you can do to be an environmentally friendly geocacher. Next time we will give you tips on "How to find a geocache in an environmentally friendly way." But you might already know…
Here are our 6 best tips for Finding a Geocache in an Environmentally Friendly Way.

Tips on Geocache Hints »
I thought this was a very informative article, and much needed. Thanks for putting it out there.
Great information! Thanks for the tips. I am contemplating placing a cache for the first time. This article does help.
What about fire-tacks? They are allowed!! So please revise the bit about screws nails etc.
Also try not to place the cache on a very steep slope, as it can promote erosion.
If you want to place a cache that is challenging to find, please hide it where there is a durable surface.
What about power trails where all of the caches are buried (i.e.- pipe pounded into ground with a micro in it)? They seem to be par for the course from what I can tell…I am confused!
a good hint, that says where/how to find the cache is really important!
"place your geocache near an existing trail and add a waypoint for the
coordinates of the trailhead, so cachers won't approach the cache from
the wrong side and have to bushwhack." – Excellent point! My orthopedic surgeon and my wife would kill me if they saw some of the bushwacking I've done only to find an easy trail that led right near the cache!!! I will certainly keep this in mind for any new caches I hide.
People new to geocaching need to take note of the difficulty rating. Start on easier caches to gain experience with what makes a good hiding place and what "just doesn't look quite natural" and is your cache hiding spot. When you arrive at GZ look around carefully before disturbing the area! it is probably not "that hidden" but just not obvious at first glance. Remember smart phones are not as accurate in bush cover as a dedicated GPS unit! Don't blame the cache owner for inaccuracies when you use a smart phone in the bush!

Re: Skyfall - Grading & Discussion
^See, I've always seriously doubted that idea. For one thing. the constant references to Tracy throughout the "old" films. At the very least, Moore is the "same" Bond as Lazenby--and
License to Kill
links Dalton's to those two, for that reason. Connery's "revenge rampage" at the beginning of
Diamonds Are Forever
implies a connection there, too.
Pierce Brosnan was a "new" Bond--but M refers to him as "a relic of the Cold War," etc.
Perhaps MI6 is very advanced regarding skin grafts (face changes), voice changes, and "de-aging", particularly after Moore?
As for Craig--the idea, remember, is that
on is a re-boot--where the legend is restarted for a modern audience. Effectively, they're acting as if the "old" series didn't happen, and Bond is
the elements we know and love.

Anon, CIBC, Desjardin.......
They have played this like theives.........
no one else to blame but Orbite.
IMO if Management would have spent a little bit of energy getting Television and social media involves instead of this * wait, you will see* approach, things would be better than this. Award winning company with their heads in the sand. Issue with image of gandeur by RB,? perhaps.
I would have rather seen them bring TV shows like Scientific America, Science today, Discovery channel..... any one of these make a production on Orbit. They did in FRENCH ONLY and let it slide.......Their mistake, English Canada deserves better than a slap in the face. The French production on Orbite by Decouverte was a top knotch production. Why didn't they do one in English? I have no idea..............but this should have been done..

Birthplace, Migration and Crime
The Australian Experience
|Publication Date
|March 2014
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Macmillan
Issues surrounding the migration of human beings are some of the most pressing of our time. Through both historical and contemporary material, this book builds on the author's previous work in the area to explore the landscape of crime and migration in Australia.
Focusing primarily upon the Australian experience, but illuminated by studies in other countries and at other times, Professor Francis provides a comprehensive account of crime and migration, linking migration policy with criminality and mental health and arguing that it is birthplace, not race, which impacts upon crimes committed by migrants.
Covering a diverse range of issues from the police, courts and prisons to victimology and immigration policy, this book will appeal to scholars across Criminology, Sociology, Law, Migration Studies and Politics.

06-08-06 - President Bush says coalition troops have
dealt a severe blow to the al-Qaida terrorist network with the
death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Acting on tips from Iraqis, he says coalition troops delivered justice to the most-wanted terrorist in Iraq. He calls it a "remarkable achievement" and says years of perseverance were rewarded last night.
In remarks from the White House, Bush congratulated the new
Iraqi government and heaped praise on coalition and U-S forces.
Bush says that with the death of al-Zarqawi, "the ideology of
terror has lost one of its visible and aggressive leaders." But he
warned that insurgents will likely carry on without their visible
But he adds that it's an opportunity for Iraq's new government
"to turn the tide in this struggle."

Ten bucks is a lot for an iPhone game, but Gameloft has created a bone fide premium iPhone experience. Assassin's Creed is an extremely accessible game that casual, core, and hardcore gamers can all enjoy for several hours. With the iPhone lacking in top-tier platform/action games right now, Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles has firmly entrenched itself as the standard for the genre.
Think on this for a moment: Assassin's Creed is an enhanced version of a $30 Nintendo DS game for only $10. For $10, you are getting around six hours of game. That is the very definition of value and a huge reason why I am bullish on the game. Set aside the fact that the game looks amazing and is accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. This is a console game for your iPhone that sacrifices very little. The controls may not be to every gamer's liking, but I was very comfortable with the virtual stick and suffered only a few instances of slipping off a rooftop or beam. Assassin's Creed set a new bar for the kind of hardcore/traditional games the iPhone can host. I cannot wait to see what tops it.
This is a great game and well worth the price. Fans of the series should grab this up as it doesn't disappoint. It doesn't have much wrong with it and the good far surpasses the bad in another great title from Gameloft.
Pocket Gamer UK
Its compelling mix of action and platforming, not to mention phenomenal visuals, are enough to cut through the annoyances of its controls. Assassin's Creed isn't as sharp as it could be, but it provides so much varied, entertaining gameplay that it's worth putting up with its shortcomings.
Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles has enough gameplay to hold your attention for several hours, which isn't bad for a ten-dollar investment. It's definitely one of the sharpest-looking iPhone games, and Gameloft did a solid job with the controls. Be sure to hook up with Altair if you've got a few hours to kill.
I enjoyed playing through AC immensely, it had just the right balance of action vs exploration and the difficulty is balanced too, teasing you with over easy tasks only to present you with a seemingly un-crossable chasm. For action adventure fans it offers the closest yet to delivering a fleshed out console experience. And while it's not perfect in every respect, it's certainly worth the premium price tag of $9.99, especially when put side by side with the $30+ DS version.
Assassin's Creed is a highly charismatic iPhone "port" of Assassin's Creed on the DS (a real game on the iPhone! I'm excited too!), but it has some flaws. First off, platform jumping with a virtual keyboard is a chore and a half and jumping onto moving platforms almost brings me to tears. I like this game, I really do, but it will make you mental. Imagine playing Mega Man years ago and dying on the same part 10 times in a row. Now double the level loading time and you have Assassin's Creed.
Slide to Play
There's no doubt that the atmosphere of Assassin's Creed is well-presented. Production values are quite high, and there's a good amount of game time with this particular title. But fans of the original console version will find this mobile edition lacking. Not that anything too ambitious should have been expected, but for the high price tag and all the glitches, it's worth waiting for a corrective update or a price drop.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Franklin Community Council, Inc., Franklin, KS, USA
Working with the wonderful volunteers has been a life changing experience. These dedicated people have stepped up at a time of dire need. Their dedication and hard work has been inspiring. Many of the residents were elderly and the center of the community which contained their beloved community center was destroyed. After 7 years of working with the organization I am motivated to do more as I see the strength of the women who work on the committees and the board. Many of the women are in their 80s and continue to work on many of the fund raising and community projects. The rebuilding has been due to their willingness to roll up their sleeves and tackle the difficult jobs. A donation to this organization would allow them to continue to rebuild and provide programs to residents throughout all of southeast Kansas.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
working with the wonderful people from the area. It has been the experience of a lifetime. I have never been associated with such dedicated people.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
all exceptional. I did not have a negative experience. If there was a problem the organization dealt with it in a very professional manner.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
continue its good works, complete the rebuilding of the community, build senior housing and upgrade their park and walking facilities. The organization provides services that are beneficial to the entire area including health, educational, social & art
Ways to make it better...
there had been more funding available. Volunteers continue to seek grants and other funds for their projects. They hold fund raisers constantly.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
funding to continue their good works. Also bringing in new families, seniors and residents to make the community an even better place to live.
One thing I'd also say is that...
No one who has been a part of any of the events sponsored by this organization would be disappointed with the work they are doing.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every week
