Good over all experience. I will park there again.
To pick up your car you must got to front desk to get a card to swipe to let you exit. It's dropped off at the gate.
The people at the front desk didn't seem to know what was going on with parking, one person stated I should pay when I got back and the other stated I should have paid when I first arrived, The desk service upon denature was a 5 and upon arrival was a 3.
Shuttle runs every 30mins, but I waited longer for my pickup. On my return at the hotel I was told I needed a receipt to get an exit pass. After searching for a bit and then saying I don't have it - I'm not even sure I was given one, a different staff member spent just a few seconds looking me up to confirm I paid. After about an hour from when I arrived at the pickup area, I was on my way.
Excellent service throughout the experience.
Reserve online and billed $7.00 You have to stop at Sheraton front desk and fill out paper and pay balance! Information needed and payment could have all been done online, eliminating time and standing in line!
Parking experience was very good
The return trip wait seemed a bit long, but we were tired and wanted to be home.
Great Price and location to keep your car for extended time
The location and shuttle timing were good and the hotel employees were helpful. There's also a Metro shuttle that leaves the hotel at quarter after and till and runs to the Pentagon City station. The shuttle itself is a little small. It was fine on the way to the airport, but passengers were being left at the airport on the return trip.
It was very easy to get in and out of the garage. The shuttle wait time was probably the shortest of any of the locations I've used previously.
Great for both vehicles
Parking lot is fine. Front desk had me fill out paperwork upon departure. While I was gone they lost it and I had to convince them I still owed them money when I returned. The front desk then had me fill out (again) the same paperwork I did when I left. The paperwork took an additional 5 mins each way. Frustrating process to say the least.
Great parking lot!!!!
Everything went smoothly -- no hiccups.
I've parked in this lot several times. I go back because it is convenient to National Airport and the price is great. However, I have not had a positive experience with the front desk staff. Checking your car in requires parking, paying and returning to your car to put a note on the dashboard. If you're in a hurry, this process doesn't help. And instead of providing the card to exit the lot at the time you pay for the space, you have to go back to the front desk and show you recipe for having paid before you can leave. I've parked in a lot of other lots in my life, and none of them require this many unnecessary steps.The hotel staff is rude and short tempered throughout this process. Instead of recognizing that they are Ina position to be helpful and assist with the process to make check in smooth, they treat you badly.
Parked for 11 days while on vacation. Spacious indoor garage. Prior to trip I had to get a tag to put on the dash. They had me pay on return. No problems. Price honored without question. I would park here again.
front desk seemed confused - gave me a plastic card - could not get into parking deck with card - hit button instead and took receipt. Came back as scheduled - within one hour of time - card would not let us out of deck. My account was paid in full so no reason for this.
After arrive Go up to Front Desk Pay get receipt When return go to front desk show receipt and get out pass
It was fine.

From: Archer, FL
Region: Southeast
Topic: Edible Plants, Trees
Title: Planting fruit and nut trees in Archer, FL.
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:We're looking to plant a few fruit and nut trees in Archer, Florida. We've been thinking about figs, apples, peaches, oranges, plums, and whatever nuts grow best here (looks like almonds and pecans?), but which ones are suggested for this area?
For starters, let me state that the mission of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is to increase the sustainable use and conservation of native wildflowers, plants and landscapes. Of the plants you mentioned, only two are native to the US. Pecan Carya illinoinensis (Pecan) is native to the US, but only a few counties in Florida (Levey is closest to you). There are several native species of wild plum in the genus Prunus found throughout the US. Prunus angustifolia (Chickasaw plum) is agood example.
I would suggest that you consult the folks at the Alachua County office of the University of Florida IFAS Extension for their suggestions. In the meantime, here are some links (several are from IFAS Extension) that can help you in your quest for fruit and nut trees.

This project, as with other Buildeazy projects, is designed with the home handyman or DIYer in mind. Joints that might require the expertise of a more seasoned woodworker are non-existent. Instead, all joints are secured with bolts and/or screws and maybe a bit of glue. Because of this, the project only requires the most basic of tools to undertake a professional job, but does not lack in strength.

$60M fund launched to push green agriculture, tourism in Rupununi
Sustainable community-based agriculture and tourism enterprises in the Rupununi, as well as startups will have access to a $60 million fund, which was launched yesterday with the aim of providing financing and technical support under the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).
The Rupununi Innovation Fund (RIF), a collaboration between the government, the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) and Conservation International (CI) – Guyana will support sustainable agro-processing and marketing, fisheries, agro-forestry and nature-based tourism, a joint press release from the government and CI – Guyana said.
The RIF represents a unique partnership, the release said. It noted that government's contribution was the provision of a waiver of corporate taxes on the income earned from loans granted under the fund; GBTI's was the investment of $60 million in the fund as seed capital and CI – Guyana's the co-financing and executing of the US$1.6 million Inter-American Development Bank Multilateral Invest-ment Fund (IDB-MIF) Rupununi Livelihoods Project. "It is envisaged that with the assistance to be provided, sustainable agricultural and tourism enterprises will be created and existing enterprises will be enhanced. These enterprises are expected to contribute to [government's] efforts to develop a national green, low carbon economy while, at the same time, enhancing the well-being of the people of the Rupununi," the release said.
The fund is part of the larger Leveraging Natural Capital in Guyana's Rupununi Project, which aims to encourage indigenous communities to sustain their natural resource dependent livelihoods, while addressing the environmental impact and needs of their surroundings.
"The emphasis of the project on local and indigenous community-based tourism and agriculture enterprises recognises the potential of the region to increase its contribution to both of these sectors," the statement said.
Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh called on more private entities to explore such public/private partnerships and initiatives based on enhancing development. The release quoted him as saying, "today we speak of public/private partnerships, but they are not only to be viewed in the narrow traditional sense of mobilising private capital to achieve public policy objectives, but can be also seen in the context of collaboration such as this."
According to the release, Singh spoke about the economic potential in Region 9, with Lethem acting as a major transportation hub between Guyana and Brazil.
Vice President and Executive Director of CI – Guyana Dr David Singh stated that good business practices would be learned from working with the people of the Rupununi.
Signing on behalf of GBTI was Chief Executive Officer John Tracey, who stated that the partnership was in recognition of the economic potential of the region, which the bank had noticed since a branch was opened in 2006.
The fund will support sustainable management of forests, savannahs and other ecosystems; agro-tourism and arts and craft. The development of these enterprises is intended to develop greater cooperation between other low-carbon development initiatives, to contribute to the maintenance of ecosystems and to foster good business practices.

Clara hoping to live a dream
Relevant offers
Clara van Wel is nervous.
The year 11 Marlborough Girls' College student is waiting to find out whether she has made it through to the next round of the TV1 show New Zealand's Got Talent.
She will have to wait until the results of public voting are announced on the show on Sunday night.
Clara, who is just 15, has been impressing judges Rachel Hunter, Ali Campbell and Jason Kerrison since showing up for her live audition in May. They have raved about her musical ability, particularly on Sunday when she performed her own song Between the Lines, based on the Jodi Picoult novel of the same name.
The trio seemed unanimous when they gave Clara feedback about her performance in the semi-final, saying she was well and truly headed for a recording deal. Kerrison even offered to sign Clara under his music label if no-one else took her on.
"If he's keen, I'm all for it," she said yesterday.
Clara has enjoyed the opportunity to do something she is passionate about with other like-minded people and see how she stacks up against other contestants.
"The best part is probably meeting the crew and everyone backstage and especially being able to play with a real band - that was just unreal," she said.
Rivalry was not a factor among contestants.
"It's more like people who are trying to fulfil our dreams, rather than us being adversaries," she said.
"Music has always been something I've loved to listen to and do badly when I'm walking down the hall singing to myself."
She has been singing "forever" and has played the guitar and written her own songs since the age of 10.
She has written 50 songs, mostly based on the books she reads.
"The songs I wrote when I was 10 were slightly more idealistic, like cute little love songs," she said. "Now they're becoming more and more related to the books I read."
Being involved in the show itself had been "amazing" but getting so far was even more so.
"I just want to say thanks to everyone who voted for me and supported me - and thanks Marlborough for being so fantastic."
Public voting closed yesterday for the semi-finalists who performed on Sunday. Twelve acts will go through to the grand final on November 25.

Wines Shipped in Lighter Bottles
The ability to make lighter glass for wine bottles isn't new, but the trend is gaining attention because it is a "green" alternative, AP reports (via the Union-Tribune).
At Fetzer Vineyards, the company is switching to lighter weight glass to cut shipping costs and to be more environmentally friendly. The winery's new bottles are on average 14 percent lighter, with the 750-milliliter bottles now weighing 15.5 oz. when empty.
The company says that with 23 million bottles shipped annually, that adds up to an annual saving of 2,200 tons of glass. That also means spending less money on materials and fuel for transportation.
Most of the new bottles have a flat bottom, as opposed to the traditional indentation known as a "punt," which was designed to collect sediments. Fetzer spokesman Jim Caudill told AP that the punt is being kept for premium lines, but not everyday wines that aren't going to spend years in a cellar.
Boisset Vins et Spiritueux is also using alternative materials to ship its Beaujolais Nouveau. The winery is using PET bottles, since the wine is meant to be consumed soon after release.
Last year Fetzer Vineyards received the 2007 Best-of-the-Best Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award from the EPA.
