From 13000 Feet - August 29, 2009

A group of my friends and I went skydiving at SkyDance SkyDive in Davis, CA. Jeff was my instructor and he was totally awesome (he's pretending to be asleep)! Kyle was my videographer/photographer and he was totally rad too! You can see a glimpse of him at around 1:44 (the one with the mohawk). You can also see Henry and Nate in the back of the plane! An amazing experience!!

Real Estate Market - What The Crystal Ball Beholds For The Markets?

The one thing that is in minds of most homeowners is that how much worse it will get before it gets better. The last one year has seen major turmoil in the real estate market. It has never been this bad. So it's no wonder that it is the major concern of most homeowners. Property values have taken a nosedive and the default rates have gone sky high. First time buyers are finding it difficult to find an entry into the market so home ownership is falling. With increased foreclosures and compulsory bankruptcy filing things are going out of hand.
Like most others you may also be worried about how much worse is this going to get. Experts and their statistics say that home prices are expected to fall further. No improvement in interest rates coupled with difficulty in credit is partly responsible for this downward spiral. The softening commercial market is also a sore point of concern. Experts commonly believe that there is going to be no improvement this year in the commercial real estate. This includes shopping complexes, offices and apartments. The economic slowdown could be a major factor behind this, thus one can expect further rise in interest rates.
There is no relief in immediate sight and none is expected soon. Property inventory has been steadily rising these last few months. To hope for any improvement in the market would mean liquidizing of this piling inventory first. The United States Census Bureau has come up with the conclusion that the number of vacant homes in 2007 has reached zeniths that have not been seen since 1965.
No improvement is expected in the housing demand soon, thus the house prices are prone to fall further. Sub prime loans are now becoming more difficult, thus one cannot hope that the high risk buyers may provide any relief. They no longer qualify for such loans. Another fact is that people with good credibility who can qualify for mortgages are finding it tough to arrange for adequate home equity.
The situation in the residential market is bad across America, but Florida seems to have been hit the worst. This is partly due to the fact that most of the thousands of condos commissioned will be completed this year. Though people have made deposits, most are not expected to follow through the purchase due to various factors like fallen prices and tight credit situations. If this happens it could lead to mass default in construction loans, thus further compounding the problem.
California is also staring into the eyes of a similar devil. It has many people struggling to pay the monthly mortgage installments. These are mainly the high risk group which has borrowed money to buy houses even when the prices were soaring sky high. They can no longer off load these extra properties; neither can they manage their monthly payments. The home prices are falling even as the mortgage rates are north bound. There seems to be no way out.
The dawn lies just after the darkest part of the night. Our only hope lies therein. We have to wait till the market crashes completely and reaches rock-bottom. After that the market will have to rise, as it can go down no further. We thgus have to cross our fingers and wait for the proverbial dawn to come and relive us of this dark night.

Foreclosure Crisis Shatters the American Dream for Hispanics

Juan M. Alvarez is a by-the-books kind of guy.  When he immigrated to the United States from Mexico in the 1990s, he hired a lawyer to assure his paperwork was correct. With his blue-collar salary from a large home building company several miles east of San Francisco, his family of four lived on a frugal budget as he diligently set aside money to purchase a home as well as sent money to his family in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range

The western margin of the continent of North America is built of a succession of mountain chains folded in broad corrugations, like waves of stone upon whose seaward base beat the mild, small breakers of the Pacific. By far the grandest of all these ranges is the Sierra Nevada, a long and massive uplift lying between the arid deserts of the Great Basin and the Californian exuberance of grain-field and orchard; its eastern slope, a defiant wall of rock plunging abruptly down to the plain; the western, a long, grand sweep, well watered and overgrown with cool, stately forests ; its crest a line of sharp, snowy peaks springing into the sky and catching the alpenglow long after the sun has set for all the rest of America.

Tandem Free Fall Jump with the Golden Knights US Army Parachute Team

On April 8, 2009, I had the honor of participating in a tandem jump with the US Army Parachute Team. My jump master's name is Noah, and he did a super job instructing me on the jump to ensure that I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. As a member of the Fort Bragg Culinary Arts Team, myself and several of my teammates were selected to jump with the Golden Knights after winning the 34th Annual Military Culinary Arts Competition in Fort Lee, VA. The opportunity for this jump was available to our team only and gave us an extra incentive to bring home the title of "2009 Installation of the Year." This was my second tandem jump but the first time with the Golden Knights. My first jump was over 15 years ago, at a jump school in California. And though I enjoyed my first jump very much, this experience was, by far, the better of the two jumps. I had a blast, and by watching the video, you'll see that I had a big ear-to-ear grin the entire time!

Dolphin Legend - The Rainbow Bridge

There are as many tales, legends and stories surrounding dolphins as there are concerning any other animal. Why is that? I feel it's because dolphins seem to be just as curious about us as we are about them. I think if we finally ever crack their code and actually do learn to communicate with dolphins, we'll hear many stories and legends that they have about us strange creatures who live on land and put on funny looking fins and gills so we can swim along side them. But until that time, we'll have to be satisfied with our stories we have about dolphins.

One of my favorite stories comes from the Chumash people of Santa Cruz Island off the cost of California. Legend says that they were created when the Earth Goddess planted seeds to raise them. Her husband, the Sky Snake, could spit lightning and he decided to give the Chumash people the gift of fire by spitting lightning down on the island.

They were very happy because now they could stay warm and cook their food. In fact, living became so easy that their population grew and kept growing. But, soon the island became very crowded and the Earth Goddess started to notice the noise. It became so unharmonious that she couldn't sleep and she decided they had to move to the mainland over 20 miles away.

The people all asked her how they were to get to the mainland. After giving it a lot of thought she decided to make a bridge out of a rainbow. It would stretch from the highest point on the island all the way to the mountains of the great expanse.

The people were worried and scared, but the Earth Goddess assured them they would be alright. She told them to go to the other side and populate the world. So they climbed to the top of the rainbow on their island and started across. Many of them made it safely but others became dizzy from being so high. They looked down at the ocean so far beneath them and got scared. Then a fog came in and confused them more. While most walked across the bridge with no problems, these others fell off and they fell long and far down into the ocean. The Earth Goddess saw this and felt very bad because the bridge had been her idea and she had assured them all would be alright.

She wanted to show them that they hadn't made a mistake by trusting her so she turned all that fell into dolphins. So even today the Chumash people say dolphins are their brothers that fell off the rainbow bridge. Some even say they were the lucky ones.

Celebrities Love Hale Bob Clothing

The History of Hale Bob

It was nine years ago, in 2000, when native Moroccan Daniel Bohbot visited Los Angeles for the first time. As someone who had many years experience in the fashion industry, he was immediately drawn to the styles seen on California celebrities. They dressed in a sexy way that came across as glamorous, yet very individualistic. Bohemian styles and beads were popular. Bohbot was soon inspired to start his own line of clothing and incorporate these great looks.

In 2001 he returned to Paris and exhorted Marc, his brother, to help him open his own design business and Hale Bob was born. Unique L.A. fashion could now be brought to the masses. Bohbot was not content to stay in Paris, however. He quickly decided that California was the place for he and his brother, the founder of Bisou Bisou, to permanently set up shop.

Because he so loved the fashion of the Hollywood stars, Bohbot named his company for stars; in this case those in the sky like the Halle Bop comet. His designs would make the average woman look like a star. The first garments he offered were sexy blouses that paired easily with a jeans and perfect for the club scene. From there, the rest of his line took off.

The Unique Features of Hale Bob Clothing

Hale Bob clothing is easily recognizable. The pieces are sexy and chic and incorporate vivid colors, ethnic patterns, and fabulous details such as bodice borders and beading. In addition to dresses and tops, the brand also includes shoes, sandals, and boots. Bohbot is famous for using rich fabrics like velvet and silk. Most of his garments feature silk of some sort or the other, usually Charmeuse or chiffon.

You have to love to stand out from the crowd in order to wear Hale Bob designs. They are specifically designed for a woman who is sexy, confident, and sophisticated; a woman who desires the attention of everyone who looks her way. These very feminine garments are the perfect choice for clubbing or attending a big party.

A woman who loves a distinctive look and dressing in the latest fashions will enjoy Hale Bob designs. You can look like a celebrity and feel like a star anytime you don one of the romantic, feminine pieces from the latest Hale Bob collection.

Incorporating a Coastal Atmosphere Into Your Interior Design Scheme

Chances are; you do not reside in a beautiful house on a white sand beach with gentle waves lapping into your front yard. That doesn't mean however, that you can't bring the seaside to your home! A coastal theme is a very modern and beautiful way to decorate your home from the inside out and will give you and your visitors the sense that the sea is just outside your front door. The phrase "coastal" varies in meaning from region to region and can refer to many different types of architecture, furnishings, themes, and overall design styles.

You can find common threads in these different styles which make it possible to combine these different elements together into one design scheme with complementing wall paper, fabrics, wall hangings, metal wall décor, or laser wall art. From the golden coast of California and the beaches of Florida to the beautiful New England coastline, coastal influences can be brought to architecture, decoration, and the overall style of any home. The principal colors that make up modern coastal interior design schemes are typically shades of greens, blues, and neutral browns, pinks, and beiges.

These colors conjure images of the ocean, sky, clouds, sun, sand, shells, and vegetation. White is the ideal color to tie everything together, giving the living environment a bright, fresh, open feeling. Suggested areas to use whit as a foundation color include fabrics (curtains, blankets, carpeting, and upholstery), wall paint and borders (laser cut gifts, laser cut metal wall art, and ornate wall hangings), kitchen appliances, and general home accessories. When picking out a color scheme an all white theme is certainly feasible, but if you have children or pets it may not be the best idea.

Consider using white as a foundation with a mixture of other colors that are more conducive to a busy lifestyle. The lighter the colors, the more open and airy the room will appear. A light background with blue, green, or coral accent pieces is a great possibility. Another option to employ to open up a room is to use a blue or green as the primary wall color and then to use white paint on the trim, crown molding, and baseboards. The lighter the main color is, the better, but combining dark colors with light colors will make the room more interesting and complex.

Furniture

When selecting furniture in a coastal themed room, the designer will be faced with a large variety of choices. It can be fun to mix regional influences even from different continents! Asian, African, and European pieces can make a room eclectic and fun, turning an otherwise boring room into a masterpiece. Furniture in coastal decorating has a wide range of possibilities, as it is not necessarily tied to regional or historic boundaries. That being said, an eclectic mix in the decor is expected.

In a single room you may find accents, laser cut gifts, metal wall art or even metal souvenirs or hangings from Asia, Africa and Europe, spanning antique to modern, all within a few feet of each other. One common trait that you will find in coastal decorating, however, is that sofas and arm chairs are puffy, overstuffed and extremely comfortable.

Upholstery for these larger pieces typically falls into one of several categories, including, being solid in color, bold stripes in two colors, thinner stripes with multiple colors, or floral patterns. Rattan and wicker furniture are staples in the seaside themes. Virtually any piece of furniture can be purchased that is made of rattan (which is a plant similar to bamboo, but not as thick). Known for being lightweight, durable, flexible and easily stained, rattan can be woven into a very sturdy mesh which makes it an ideal candidate for stylish couches, chairs, tables and ottomans.

Theme Camping Pt 1

Theme camping is a wonderful way to combine camping and learning, seeing the world in new ways. Whether it's you alone, as a couple or with kids-in-tow, theme camping is frosting on the cake for any camping adventure. The great thing about theme camping is that it allows you to discover many new campsites while pursuing the same theme.

Fossil Camping *Never remove fossils as it is often illegal.

Fossil Camping involves choosing campsites near to fossil beds that are preserved in national monuments, parks and museums (public and private). So how do you decide where to start to explore pre-history? Many monuments and parks have websites so you can explore them first (some even have on-line museums and virtual tours).

Agate Fossil Beds National Monument

"During the 1890s, scientists rediscovered what the Lakota Sioux already knew - bones preserved in one of the most complete Miocene mammal sites in the world.

Yet, Agate is a landscape that reflects many players - from early animals roaming the valleys and hills, to tribal nations calling the High Plains home, to explorers and ranchers passing through or settling in the American West."

Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park

About 12 million years ago, a volcano in southwest Idaho spread a blanket of ash over a very large area. One or two feet of this powdered glass covered the flat savannah-like grasslands of northeastern Nebraska. Most of the animals which lived here survived the actual ashfall, but as they continued to graze on the ash covered grasses, their lungs began to fill up with the abrasive powder. Soon their lungs became severely damaged and they began to die. The smaller animals died first (smaller lung capacities) and finally, after perhaps three to five weeks, the last of the rhinos perished. Their bodies were quickly covered by the blowing and drifting ash. Undisturbed except by an occasional scavenging meat-eater, the skeletons of these animals are preserved in their death positions, complete with evidence of their last meals in their mouths and stomachs and their last steps preserved in the sandstone below."

Dinosaur State Park

"We are one of the largest dinosaur track sites in North America. Beneath our geodesic dome, you will find an exceptional display of early Jurassic fossil tracks that were made 200 million years ago. Surrounding our Exhibit Center are more than two miles of nature trails and the Dinosaur State Park Arboretum, containing more than 250 species and cultivars of conifers, as well as katsuras, ginkgoes, magnolias and other living representatives."

Dinosaur Valley State Park

"Dinosaur Valley State Park contains some of the best preserved dinosaur tracks in the world. The dinosaur tracks are located in the riverbed, so please call ahead to check on river conditions. There are two fiberglass models; a 70-foot Apatosaurus and a 45-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex. They were built, under commission of the Sinclair Oil Company, New York World's Fair Dinosaur Exhibit of 1964 - 1965. Other activities include camping, picnicking, hiking, mountain biking, Equestrian use in a separate 100-acre area (no horses furnished), river swimming and fishing, and wildlife observation."

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument "Beneath a grassy mountain valley in central Colorado lies on one of the richest and most diverse fossil deposits in the world. Petrified redwood stumps up to 14 feet wide and thousands of detailed fossils of insects and plants reveal the story of a very different, prehistoric Colorado. Online Museum"

Fossil Butte National Monument

"Some of the world's best preserved fossils are found in the flat-topped ridges of southwestern Wyoming's cold sagebrush desert. Fossilized fish, insects, plants, reptiles, birds, and mammals are exceptional for their abundance, variety, and detail of preservation. Most remarkable is the story they tell of ancient life in a sub-tropical landscape."

Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument"Largest concentration of Hagerman Horse (Equus simplicidens) fossils in North America - 30 complete horse fossils and portions of 200 individual horses.

Internationally significant Monument protects world's richest late Pliocene epoch (3 - 4 mya) fossil deposits: over 220 species of plants and animals! Glimpse life before the last Ice Age and view earliest appearance of modern flora and fauna."

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument

"A visit to the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is like taking a journey into ancient Oregon. Whether you tour the museum at Sheep Rock, hike a trail at the Painted Hills, or picnic at Clarno, Oregon's exciting past will be revealed. Learn about the park before you visit by exploring our new virtual tour!"

Mississippi Petrified Forest

*Privately owned. "Take an unforgettable journey back in time... 36 million years to an ancient log jam deposited by a river from halfway across our young continent. You'll enjoy the many points of interest along the six block long shady paved trail. From there you'll enter our Earth Science Museum where you can browse among the most outstanding collection of fossils, petrified wood, and minerals from nature,

Petrified Forest National Park

"With one of the world's largest and most colorful concentrations of petrified wood, multi-hued badlands of the Painted Desert, historic structures, archaeological sites, and displays of 225 million year old fossils, this is a surprising land of scenic wonders and fascinating science."

Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite"At BLM's Red Gulch Dinosaur Track site, you can imagine yourself walking along an ocean shoreline 167 million years ago with dozens of other dinosaurs, looking to pick up a bite of lunch from what washed up on the last high tide. The ground is soft and your feet sink down in the thick ooze, leaving a clear footprint with every step you take. The discovery of rare fossil footprints on public lands near the Red Gulch/Alkali National Back Country Byway close to Shell, Wyoming, could alter current views about the Sundance Formation and the paleoenvironment of the Middle Jurassic Period."

The Wyoming Dinosaur Center in Thermopolis"This museum has an extensive display of Wyoming Dinosaurs and other related material. There are also observation points for watching restoration of fossils. During the summer there are tours of the dig sites and "Kids Digs". Journey back in time with dynamic displays featuring dinosaurs from all around the world. See the entire paleontological process, from excavation to preparation. Open daily year round."

Once you decide which places you want to visit first, simply look for campsites near that region, then see which have campsites on site or nearby. A Google search is often all you'll need to find campsites nearby. There are also websites which provide a free campground directory.

Western Trails Camping

Western Trails Camping involves choosing campsites which allow you to explore the trails used as pioneers moved West during the development of the United States. The most historic are the Bozeman, the Cherokee, the Oregon, the Overland, the California, the Mormon Pioneer, and the Pony Express Trails. Because all passed through Wyoming and Wyoming is filled with open spaces, Wyoming is a great place to start. The Alliance for Historic Wyoming can certainly provide good information.

While exploring these trails will fill you with the same sense of determination and "can do" attitude which propelled the western movement, you might also consider exploring what happened to those on the other side of that equation who's heroic determination to preserve their tribes made their defeat so palpably tragic, such as the Trail of Tears, which forcibly relocated the Cherokee people, the epic 1,700 mile Nez Pearce retreat led by Chief Joseph across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, Wounded Knee, Sand Creek Massacre,

Once you decide which places you want to visit first, simply look for campsites near that region, then see which have campsites on site or nearby. A Google search is often all you'll need to find campsites nearby.

Astronomy Camping

Astronomy camping is probably the easiest theme camping to pursue. All you need is a campsite away from the light pollution of cities and the night sky above becomes your theatre. From asteroids, constellations, meteor showers, comet fly-bys to eclipses, the universe will spin above you. One great source is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Space Calendar, which lists when the events overhead will occur.

Once you decide which astronomy events you want to witness, find a great campsite near you that is away from light pollution, then head there! A Google search is often all you'll need to find campsites nearby.

Cave Camping

Cave camping is something that will amaze you because the majesty of caves has remained hidden underground because of the nature of caves. But once you discover the world of caves, you'll become a cave camper until you've explored them all.

While some caves are well known such as the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, the Mammoth Caves in Kentucky or the Cave of the Winds in Colorado, a quick search on the Internet of U.S. Caves, and you'll find some near you.

Once you decide which caves you want to visit, find a great nearby campsite and off you go! A Google search is often all you'll need to find campsites nearby.

One Tank Trips in LA

Many people fall under the impression that they need to be doing something huge or far away in order to have a good time. There are often plenty of awesome things to enjoy right in your own town or city. For a tank of gas or less, you can have a wonderful time. It may take a little searching or creativity but a one tank trip can result in a ton of family fun. One tank trips in the Los Angeles region are packed with adventure and things to see and do. Get out there and rediscover it all for yourself.

Los Angeles is known for being a tourist destination. There is never a shortage of things to take part in. One of the most popular features of any California destination is the sunny sky and beaches filled with people all seeking some fun in the sun. Though there are many fantastic beaches to visit the Carpinteria State Beach is a beauty that you do not wish to miss. Sit and sip a cold drink at one of the patio tables or take a swim in the chilly but refreshing water. It is even nice to visit during the colder months when the tourist traffic is thinner.

Museum lovers and fans of the unique and the historic will truly love the Los Angeles museums. There are so many to choose from. You could spend an entire weekend visiting them and still not see them all. The Hollywood Wax museum is always a popular attraction because of the many wax replicas of real life celebrities. It is quite interesting to see how life like some of the wax figures are. Of course most other museums have a much more serious aspect to them. There are several art museums as well as science museums to be enjoyed if that is more your style.

There is also a series of amusement parks in L.A. which is always great fun for the whole family. The children will be kept entertained at any one of these parks. Not everyone is up for a trip to Disneyland but there are many other choices. A visit to Legoland will bring out the child in everyone, no matter how old they are. For an animal related experience, visit Seaworld. That kind of thing just never gets old. There is something so magical about every one of those amazing sea creatures. Learn more about them while you enjoy their entertaining beauty.

Take a day trip or a tour to discover and enjoy the amazing sites to see within the L.A. area. Catalina Island is perfect for seeing dolphins and whales in action in their natural habitat. If this is not what you are looking for, try something as basic as a new restaurant or cuisine. Just trying something new can make a substantial difference in your day. Get out of the house and discover how much really is within a one tank trip away. There is likely much more to do and enjoy than you realize.

Types of Cypress Trees

The cypress tree family is widespread, containing over 130 species. Through DNA analysis, it has recently been determined that both the juniper and giant sequoia trees are related to the cypress family. However, when someone mentions the cypress tree, they are generally speaking of one of three main species - the Bald Cypress, the Leyland Cypress, or the Arizona Cypress. These are the most popular and widely used cypress trees in America, and each has unique characteristics. You can be sure one of these species will fit your landscaping needs.

The Bald Cypress is the symbolic tree of the southern swamp; however, it is quite adaptable and has been grown successfully much further north. It is a large tree, can grow as tall as 70' and spread as wide as 25' at the bottom. It tolerates all soil types, is adaptable to wet or dry conditions and can withstand flooding. The Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer so it will not only produce cones, but will shed its needle shaped leaves in the winter. It has a uniform conical shape.

The Leyland Cypress is a fast growing evergreen and is very popular in landscaping. It is a large tree, can grow as tall as 60-70', with a smaller spread of about 15-20' at the base. It also grows in all soils, prefers full sun, and requires an average amount of rainfall. Unlike the Bald Cypress, this tree retains its blue-green needles throughout the winter. In maturity, the Leyland forms a columnar or slightly pyramidal shape and its dense branches make it a prime choice for forming windbreaks or privacy hedges. Although the Leyland Cypress prefers full sun, it does not adapt well to hot climates and becomes susceptible to a fungus known as Cypress Canker. Both the Bald Cypress and the Arizona Cypress perform better in the extreme southern states.

The Arizona Cypress is the southern belle of the cypress species and does not grow well in the middle or northern states. It is smaller and wider than the other species, growing to about 45' with a spread of 25-30'. The Arizona prefers full sun, grows in all soil types, and has normal moisture requirements, but has good drought tolerance. Due to its dense branches, gray-green needles, and uniform shape, it is widely grown for Christmas trees. It is also widely used in landscaping as a focal point or anchor.

These three varieties of cypress trees cover all the bases. Wet or dry soil, hot or temperate conditions - there is a cypress tree to meet your needs. Choose the melancholy Bald Cypress, the slender Leyland Cypress, or the elegant Arizona Cypress. Each and any one will add impact to your landscape.

Firefighting From the Sky

When you are faced with massive forest fires spanning for hundreds of kilometers, it might seem as if all is lost and nothing can be done to stop the flames. However, there is one capable resource that can be used to tremendous effect on even the biggest natural wild fires - the firefighter plane.

The First Planes

First conceived shortly after the Second World War, the first ever firefighting planes were tested out in the 1950's in California. These early efforts were just small, single-engine planes which used wooden beer kegs to carry water, dropping their payload onto forest fires. While these efforts were largely unsuccessful, the potential of such fire fighting weapons was realized by the US Forest Service, who seized upon the idea of using much larger ex-military aircraft leftover from the war.

These aircraft, which included such beasts as the B-17 Flying Fortress and C-119 Boxcar, were ideally suited for carrying big cargoes across long distances, and so they were also perfect for transporting water or flame retardant materials. Tough and maneuverable, these airplanes were able to withstand the stresses of aerial firefighting in a way that their earlier cousins could never do, and were able to carry enough of a payload to have a real impact on wild fires.

Some commercial aircraft were also employed as firefighters as well, including the DC-6 and the DC-7.

The Unique Firefighter - The CL-215

Given the success of the ex-military and ex-commercial aircraft in firefighting, there was only ever one machine developed specifically for this purpose. The Canadair CL-215 was first introduced in 1967, and stayed in production for 23 years. Used primarily in Quebec and France, these planes also saw plenty of use in Spain, Italy, Greece, Venezuela and Thailand. The low-flying CL-215 is a very capable firefighting machine, able to deliver a 4,500 kg water or flame retardant chemical payload, while also being able to take off and land on water.

Firefighter Planes Today

Today a whole range of airplanes are used in firefighting. Some CL-215's are still in use, while the smallest firefighter is the Single Air Engine Tanker, a plane designed for agricultural spraying that has been converted to drop up to 800 gallons of payload onto a fire.

The world's largest aircraft firefighter is called the "Evergreen Supertanker", a Boeing 747 that has been converted specifically for the purpose of fighting fires. It's able to carry an enormous 24,000 gallons of water or chemicals and is able to be deployed all over the world, wherever it's needed.

Solar Gaining Larger Profile In The Golden State

Solar is coming to California in a big way. Recent weeks brought announcements of a huge solar plant breaking ground in Southern California, another biggie that could get under construction next year on 2,000 acres in San Luis Obispo County, the biggest school solar project in the nation, and more rooftop systems.

None of these are puny. The two utility-scale developments in Southern California and San Luis Obispo County could potentially supply renewable power to a combined 240,000 houses, and the deal with Mount Diablo Unified School District in San Jose covers 51 schools, 11.2 megawatts of solar capacity and is expected to save $192 million in power costs over 30 years.

In the Inland Empire portion of Southern California - where warehouses stretch for miles - solar power is becoming more prevalent on rooftops. Last week, Southern California Edison announced 16,300 solar panels on a 436,000-square-foot warehouse in Rialto are producing power.

Similar installations are in place in Fontana and Chino. Over the next four years, about 100 buildings in the region could become power producers, according to The Solar Home & Business Journal.

The deals are good for the property owner because it gets lease income, and for the utility, which must meet renewable-energy requirements.

A new rooftop system in Fresno isn't as spectacular, but the solar displays at its convention center buildings will cut costs 15%, or $42,600 per year. Last year, the power bill at the center was $942,822. About 1.7 megawatts of added solar-generated power will come from the devices on the roof of Selland Arena, Valdez Hall and carport structures, city officials said in a staff report.

In Fresno, the city does not own or buy the solar systems, but agrees to purchase the power from a private developer over 20 years. The price is less than what the city pays currently to Pacific Gas & Electric.

This is the city's third solar project. The others at Fresno Yosemite International Airport and Municipal Service Center total about 3 megawatts. Both are cash-flow positive.

Solar developers are eying other city-owned buildings too, as well as dozens of other areas in Central and Southern California. Gov-elect Jerry Brown has an ambitious solar and green-jobs program, but whether it all comes to pass remains to be seen.

There's a little matter of a $25 billion budget deficit. This Arizona State study suggests Some studies suggest California is way down the list as top spots for solar, and the Los Angeles Times reports that Brown's plan might have some costly upsides.

Nonetheless, California, as Hollywood and Silicon Valley prove, has a history of innovation.
