Troy Case FDNY Skydive

After 9-11 I wanted to do something for the familes that lost their loved ones in the WTC Attack. I came up with an idea to design a T-shirt, and with a buddy, finished the project. Before we knew it, we were selling a bunch'a shirts. After we sold a decent amount, we did a memorial skydive and presented a photo plaque to the FDNY members (Engine 33/Ladder 9, in the Bowery, Manhattan) we were donating the $$$ to. Here's footage of the skydive and the shirts we designed...Photographed by: Craig O'Brien

Websites dedicated to providing visitors and local information regarding nice restaurants to visit in Carmel, California can be excellent resources for visitors or residents of the city who want to try something new. There are many restaurants in the area that have received positive reviews from their patrons, and exploring them all is nearly impossible in a single visit. However, previous visitors to the area have walked away satisfied after using informative websites to help them find a restaurant that fits their needs and serves food they love or are in the mood to try.

To get the most out of each meal, visitors must narrow down their choices. When searching for nice restaurants to visit in Carmel, California, visitors must first decide what type of meal they want.

To start, 5th Avenue Deli & Catering Company serves lunch to go for those busy shopping days or lunch breaks. The deli offers a "Lovers' Lunch" filled with smoked salmon, salads, cheeses, fresh fruit, deserts and either chardonnay or champagne. A.W. Shucks offers a light dinner and features a seafood and oyster bar.

From fine dining on the coast to quick lunches to go to home-style breakfast, Carmel is filled with good eating that attracts many visitors to the area and satisfies the local population.

Skydiving Napa

My roommate turned 40 and we all went skydiving. We did a 60 second free fall from 13000 feet before pulling the chute at 6000 ft. The video was taken by the dude I'm tethered to holding out his digital cam while I pulled down on the parachute cord on my left causing us to spin in a death spiral. The g-forces were pretty intense and he was pretty surprised that I was so insane.

Skydiving Schools: Picking the School and Training That's Right for You

Perhaps you've considered actually jumping from a perfectly good airplane, from time to time, in your past. Perhaps you are the unwitting recipient of a skydiving gift certificate from a friend. Whatever the case, despite the good advice to the contrary from sane people all around you, you're actually going to go through with it...

So now what? Finding a top-notch skydiving school can seem like a daunting task. Every skydiving school web site you visit seems great at first blush, but then you start to see a trend develop, namely, they seem to all claim to be the best, friendliest, safest, and highest-jumping drop zones in the world. Though your friends, still coming to grips with your decision, might argue that you clearly have no common sense, you know full well that you do. That same common sense is telling you that not all of these schools can actually be the best. So how does one actually choose? How do you read through the hype and come away with the best thrill of your life?

It's a good question, and deserves a good answer because you only get a first jump once in life. Here then, is the answer to that question, a short guide to selecting the best skydiving school for you. The best way to begin is by actually defining what your desired end result of this experience is to be. Seems like a no-brainer; the end result is to simply jump out of an airplane and float to the ground, right? Wrong. There's a lot about how you get from air to there that can influence your experience and ultimately your opinion of the sport.

The first step to making this decision is in understanding the types of jumps that are available to you. I will explain each, along with the pros and cons.

1) Tandem Jump:

A tandem jump is a method of jumping where you exit the plane not with a parachute strapped to your back but an entire instructor. This is the most popular choice for new divers and is highly promoted by drop zones. The reason for this is multi-faceted; there is no responsibility on the new skydiver's part, they simply go with the flow and the instructor does all the work. This diminishes nearly all new-diver fault risks but also has a higher profit margin for the drop zone. Given the responsibility-free nature of a tandem jump for the new skydiver, the ground portion can be done in an hour or less, and requires only a one-to-one instructor/jumper ratio, where Accelerated Free Fall initial jumps require two instructors and far more ground school. If you are simply jumping to be able to buy the tee shirt from having done it once in your life, this method is for you. The relief of putting all the worry into the hands of a capable pro is terrific.

If, however, you think you may want to take up the sport beyond this first jump, it might be well worth your while to consider investing your money into the first required dive of your AFF (Accelerated Freefall) certification. Your tandem jump, in most cases, will not apply towards this series of jumps, making your investment in the tandem jump somewhat of a waste if you pursue licensing. Only you know the answer to that question, and as long as money isn't an issue (and if it is you might want to find a cheaper sport) you can just do the tandem jump anyway.

2) Static Line Jumps:

While not as popular as tandem and AFF, Static line jumps offer an option that combines the thrill of piloting your own chute without the concern of deploying it. Though the methods can vary, basically you jump from the plane at a much lower altitude, around 3000-5000 feet as opposed to 12-14,000 for tandem and AFF. As you jump, a line attached to your chute deploys it as you exit and fall away from the plane. In an AFF or tandem jump chutes are typically deployed around 5000 feet, hence this flight altitude for static line deployments. There is literally zero freefall on a static line jump.

3) Accelerated Freefall (AFF) Jumps:

Accelerated Freefall courses combine ground school classes and a series of jumps taken with two instructors, maintaining progressively less hand contact with you on each subsequent jump. This leads up to a completely unassisted solo jump where you will demonstrate basic maneuvers. While these jumps are typically taken to receive your USPA (United States Parachute Association) license, it is not (usually) a requirement that you perform the subsequent jumps in order to do the first one. While the price of that first dive is higher than a tandem jump (far more ground school and two instructors per diver), it also offers a bigger thrill and substantial feeling of accomplishment. Most skydiving schools will have you complete your ground school and first AFF jump in a single day. If you continue on with your training, you'll eventually receive your USPA licensing after you have met all requirements and taken the required tests. This licensing is required by nearly all drop zones in order to jump solo.

Armed with this information, you can now start narrowing down the selection based on your skydiving requirements. Look for schools that are USPA-member drop zones. Take the time to research the drop zone and get a feel from other divers about your drop zone(s) of choice. Most drop zones are typically very warm and friendly, and give newcomers as much attention as their regulars. There are, from time to time, skydiving schools/drop zones that cater more towards one end of the scale than the other. User opinions and reviews can reveal this if you take the time to do the research. This is easily accomplished at the website referenced below.

The most important thing of all, however, is that you have fun. Despite all of the advice from your well-intentioned friends, that fact is that your desire to pursue this sport puts you in a whole different category than those folks. Fear of falling is primal; we all feel it and are genetically predisposed to it. The dividing line is between those who fear, but have enough courage to control that fear and transform it into an incredible experience, and those who fear, shrink from it, and declare that anyone who doesn't is insane. Put your fears aside, dive into human flight and enjoy the thrill of a lifetime!

Disney's California Adventure Getting Old School Disney Makeover

As I have stated before, the remake of Disney's California Adventure will get some old school Disney styling. It seems Pixar is going to play a major role in the remake of this great but unpopular theme park. The $1.1 billion makeover will be turning to themes that have been popular at other Disney parks. Bob Iger Chief Executive said it good "Disneyland is largely developed, leaving California Adventure as an "entertainment driver for the Disneyland Resort". The hardest part of the entire makeover will be keeping the guest happy. Obviously Disney is not going to close the park. It is said that they will close one section at a time. I am sure the local audience will not be upset, but the out of state might be a different story. This is going to be a huge challenge for Disneyland Resort President Ed Grier, who joined in 2006. This guy will basically have to come up with a way to please all guest in the massive remake. I am sure he will be earning every dollar he makes. The one big thing out of this remake is the hopes that Disney can raise the attendance to over the projected 7 million a year. The park is currently seeing 5 to 6 million a year, while Disneyland park next door enjoys 15 million a year.

Most of the main investment will be transforming the park's entrance into Southern California of the 1920s and '30s, when Walt first arrived in the state. From some of the artist renderings it's looking like the main entrance will match the entrance of Disney's Hollywood Studios formally Disney- MGM Studios at Walt Disney World Resort. "It will be just like walking in Walt's footsteps," said Bob Weis, executive vice president at Walt Disney Imagineering." Quoted from the Orange County Business Journal.

Image © Disney
The first section of California Adventure's makeover opened in June with Toy Story Mania. Which also opened very successfully at Walt Disney World. The Sun on the Sun Wheel will be replaced with Mickey Mouse's face. Mulholland Madness, a small roller coaster that mimics a taxi ride in the Los Angeles hills, Image © Disney is set to be redone as a Goofy's Sky Skool coaster. Voyages of The Little Mermaid a ride that will treat you to a journey under the sea will replace the Golden Dreams Theater.

As said by the Orange County Business Journal, "Disneyland attendance and hotel occupancy slipped during the September quarter from a year earlier, executives said". This means Disney will definably make sure this goes on a fast pace. Realistically I think attendance slipped at every theme park destination in the United States, including Walt Disney World in Orlando.

South Central California's Attractions

The region's Spanish heritage is highly visible,and no more so than in Santa Barbara. Here the area's most important garrison and the legendary structure that came to be known as "Queen of the Missions" can be found. The city's red tile Mission Revival-style architecture has been imitated throughout the State.Following the breakup of the wealthy missions during the 1830s,the land was divided into a handful of sprawling ranches, then the 1849 Gold Rush brought an influx of Easterners to California.

The newcomers subdivided the large estates and set up small farming communities. They touted the land throughout the world as a "semitropical paradise," where the first season's crops would pay for the cost of the land.In the early part of the 20th century the Central Coast was a popular vacation destination, drawing thousands of people each summer to seaside towns such as Pismo and Avila Beach.Farther north, at San Simeon, millionaire William Randolph Hearst built his own personal playground, the fabulous private museum now known as Hearst CastleTM.

Today, South Central California provides a wealth of activities, from horse-drawn wine-tasting tours in the scenic Santa Ynez valley to relaxation on empty beaches. The more active can try kayaking on the Kern River near Bakersfield. Offshore,the Channel Islands offer a unique view of the area's ecosystems and an opportunity to see the annual passage of the magnificent gray whales. The east of the region is dominated by the Los Padres National Forest, an area of breathtaking beauty with miles of hiking trails and drives through mountain scenery. Here, too, are signs of the Chumash Indians who once lived in thriving communities along the coast. Their enigmatic petroglyphs remain as silent reminders of their presence throughout these hills.

South Central California's beaches and coastal plains are backed by low rolling hills covered with groves of oak. Beyond this, the Los Padres National Forest has hundreds of miles of mountainous hiking trails. Just north of Santa Barbara, the gentle countryside around Santa Ynez has proved perfect for growing vines. Along the coast of San Luis Obispo County, the seaside towns of Morro Bay and Pismo Beach are known for their fishing and clamming. In the northwest, Hearst Castle is one of California's most popular tourist attractions.

Tire Chains - Do Not Hit the Mountains Without Them

The snow in California can get pretty heavy in well-known ski areas like Mammoth and Lake Tahoe. In the better ski areas, you would most likely bring tire chains because the sheriffs at the bottom of the hill won't let you drive up without them. So whether you drive a 4 door sedan or a souped-up F150, you would most likely bring a set of chains to keep your tires from sliding.

There are a few popular mountains in the Southern California area that jet up amidst the southern valley. Both Bear Mountain and Mountain High are frequented by all walks of skiers and snowboarders every year. The snow isn't as soft, and many times man-made. These mountains are convenient for the average ski-goer that only has to drive a few hours away to hit the slopes.

When it comes to preparation for mountainous conditions, many that go to Bear Mountain and Mountain High forget that the weather can get harsh and snow storms can certainly happen atop the mountain.

I made that mistake. I went on a Saturday day trip to Mountain High, on a perfectly sunny day. It was so warm that I wore a T-shirt throughout the whole day riding. Once the sun starting coming down and it got closer to night, my friend and I took our last ride and hopped in his Ford Ranger for our drive back home.

The sky quickly filled with grey and it began to snow heavily. Being unprepared, inexperienced skiers, we didn't have any snow chains with us. My friends Ranger was sliding all over the road, on virtually every turn! We ended up taking a "scenic route" to get home and luckily made it back to San Diego after an extremely slow drive down the mountain since we didn't have tire chains.

Muir Woods [California, 1968] a Poem

Muir Woods

(California, l968)

Old trees, that is what they were,

So high, they merged with the sky--

Almost touched the upper void:

3000-years packed tightly into roots

Soil astronomy never saw--; here

Is where (in: 1968) my mother and I

Walked, side by side...down--, its

Old dirt pathway

As ever she strolled along beside me

Without a burden, slowly, a mile an

Hour. End of the road--across the

Blue bay, laid San Francisco.

Funny how we remember such simple

Afternoons, 30-years in the past, sitting

Here now at El Parquetito, in Miraflores;

Tomorrow, who knows what's next!

#1303 4/5/2006 (written in the afternoon, in Miraflores, Lima, Peru)) at El Parquetito Café/Restaurant; in 1968, my mother came to visit me from Minnesota, to San Francisco, I was but 21 or 22 years old at the time, and we went to Muir Woods, it was a most wholesome day, and the woods were most enchanting. I remember it being a highlight of her trip, that she was to spend one week with me, then go south to visit my brother. I remember the woods being cool, and it was a warm day, very warm day. There were several more trips we'd experience together: Canada, Jamaica, Mexico and Las Vegas, all wonderful trips. I had discovered, that she was easy to travel with, and it would take me a life time to find another person whom I could travel with without conflict, which was my wife Rosa.

Used Ferrari - Sumptuous Supercars

The mention of the name Ferrari springs to mind visions of supercars, sky high prices and thus the exclusive playground of the unthinkably wealthy. Well, such an image would be half-right. Ferraris are expensive, but buying yourself a used Ferrari might be a way to get you behind the wheel of the car you've always wanted, at a price you can't refuse.

The 612 Scaglietti began life with a price tag of £213,000 upwards. Pretty extortionate, but you'd expect to pay top dollar for the best grand tourer out there right? If a 612 is what you're after but you haven't got £200,000 to drop, try looking around for a 2 year old model with about 10,000 miles on the clock; a price tag of £110,000 might seem a little more reasonable. Yes the car is used so be wary of the usual pitfalls, but that £110,000 will still get you that 5.7 litre V12, that space-age styling and ultimately, that badge.

The more sporty 599GTB also began life around the £200,000 mark. The 599 was hugely popular, drawing most of its technology and engineering directly from the infamous Ferrari Enzo. Used prices reflect this: an 2 year old model with 17,000 on the clock will still set you back a good £150,000. For the best in sports car engineering, however, some may see this as a bargain.

The third model in Ferrari's current lineup is the more 'everyday' Ferrari California. Exquisite styling meets practicality, with Ferrari's cutting edge engineering underpinning it all. Brand new in 2008, a California cost around £170,000. Now, if you're lucky, you might find an '09 model with 3,000 miles on the clock for around £150,000. However, these models are few and far between on the used car market, and given the current economic climate, it's likely to stay that way for a while.

However, if you're budget isn't a whopping 6 digits long but you still have your heart set on a Ferrari, you might still be in luck. A 1999 Used Ferrari F355 with 22,000 miles on the clock can be snapped up for around £35,000. Or, a 1995 456GT with around 35,000 miles on the clock can be snapped up for just as much. Obviously, these older cars come with more precautions that'll need to be considered before buying. Ferrari's sports engines were built with performance in mind, as opposed to robust reliability at 30,000 miles. As such you should expect maintenance costs to be a little higher than usual. The older a car gets, the patchier its history may have been, so always be sure to have a good rifle through any paperwork there may be. But don't let all of this put you off. Do your homework - find yourself a good model in good condition, and you could be on to a winner.

Gold is Not Your Best Investment, You Are!

I tell you, if I hear that commercial one more time; I believe I will honestly lose my cookies. I am sure you have heard it too. The commercial sounds something like this, "In this economy, with this president with this run away congress, with the sky falling all over your head, your best investment is GOLD!" I am sorry but I still believe they are wrong.

I believe the your best investment in these tough economic times or anytime for that matter is, you! What do I mean by that, what do I mean "you are your best investment. Quite simply you, little old you, will earn more (or possibly cost yourself less if correct choices are made) over the next 20 years than any single purchase you might make.

Some people have asked me, "why are you so negative toward gold. What did it ever do to you?" I answer quite simply, "I don't trust the hype and I don't see a logical explanation for the demand." If so many people are spending so much of their time trying to get so many people all hyped up to buy something, I become suspicious. I am a highly trained professional skeptic. For years I have been working with people who have "all" of the answers and now that I have lived long enough, I am able to simply remember.

I can remember when the price of gold went down. That actually can and does happen when certain conditions exist. I can remember when the next best deal was Internet stock. And then Internet stocks crashed. I can remember when real estate in southern California was THE best purchase and then, well you all are familiar with that one, the price of real estate in California went down.

I understand that in some neighborhoods the values are returning and that is to be expected. The resolute American attitude of, "this too will pass," has helped this country to become the greatest bastion of freedom and opportunity the world has ever seen. No matter what puny man can do to mess it up, the resolute American will work and scratch to find a way out of any mess dumped on them. We are just that type of people...well a lot of us are anyway.

For the benefit of those who still want to improve their condition without a government handout, I will continue to shout from the roof tops, "invest in yourself first."

Precious metals are holders of wealth; but, that is about all they can do. Unless they become part of the wiring system of a car airbag or a beautiful piece of jewelry, Gold is a stagnate, non-contributing asset. People selling gold want you to divert your income producing wealth into a non-income producing defensive asset. An asset that cannot be used to buy a gallon of milk or bag of potatoes, until you sell it. The price of gold is determined by its scarcity and buy the demand of those rushing to buy it. That would explain the continual hype on the morning radio. I refuse to play.

Get yourself moving. Get motivated, get in shape, get going. I have found the study of scriptures as the first place to turn then try someone like Brian Tracy or Stephen Covey. They both have a ton of ideas that will help you become the best person ever, someone who is moving not sitting and waiting. Remember the words of my father; "there are three types of people in this world, those who makes things happen, those who watch things happen and my old Teamster buddies who stood there wondering, "What the heck just happened!"

Don't buy gold. Buy something that will add value to yourself first.

Oil Pipeline Roots in California

The first oil pipeline to be built and operated in California was a project of the Coalinga Oil and Transportation Company. Completed in October 1904, the pipeline reached from Coalinga to Monterey, where it would be met by oil barges that would transport the California oil to Hawaii as well as other destinations for use as an energy source. The two mountain range traversing pipeline’s 104 mile stretch is not exorbitant by today’s standards, but at the time was noteworthy for its quick construction and high elevation. Though the pipeline at its highest point pumped oil more than 2,500 feet above sea level, an unprecedented feat at that time, it was built in just ninety days.

The pipeline system built by the Coalinga Oil and Transportation Co. included several oil storage tanks in Monterey to house oil pumped from the oil fields of Coalinga. Regular voyages by oil barges coupled with the use of the pipeline to transport oil from the fields created the foundation for a prosperous oil operation which lasted several years. Many people in the areas where the pipeline made American oil available began using this more cost effective source of energy to replace the coal they had used in the past.

On September 14, 1924, the sensation of the pipeline operation took a drastic turn. An intense storm brought rain, hail, thunder and devastating lightning to the area that would bring a harsh end to the oil operation that had been flourishing in northern California. Lightning struck one of the storage tanks in Monterey, igniting it in ferocious flames and sending ominous black smoke billowing into the sky.

News of the fire incited the arrival of droves of fire trucks in Monterey from all of the surrounding areas. Firefighters attempted to contain the fire to the burning tank as pumps removed thousands of barrels of oil in hopes of preventing another explosion. For hours, the fire remained contained to the tank and was seemingly under control, prompting many spectators in the area to watch the spectacle from afar. But the fire did not remain contained to the original tank for long. Several explosions followed, sending firefighters and locals fleeing for their lives as burning oil spilled across the land and water. The building of oil tanks was subsequently banned in the City of Monterey.

Parts of the original pipeline remain in place today, while others are preserved in museums. Today, oil companies such as Western Pipeline Corporation [http://the-state-of-indiana.us/article.cfm/id/191171] comply with stringent industry safety standards in order to prevent such catastrophes.
