1) Snorkeling and scuba diving. The number of coral reefs and ancient shipwrecks in the south Florida area makes it easy to find a charter in Miami that will take you out onto the open ocean and let you see the treasures of the sea.

2) Hiking around the Everglades. Located only about half an hour from the city center of Miami, this national park is the only rainforest in the entire United States and contains some of the most beautiful examples of wildlife the country has to offer. Keep on the lookout for alligators as well as saltwater crocodiles.

3) Charter a fishing boat. Challenge yourself against the trophy fish of the open ocean like marlins, tarpon, grouper, and tuna. Get out onto the waves and see if you can get sharks or true trophies.

4) Go salsa dancing. As the epicenter of hispanic culture in the US, Miami lets you get down to the zesty beats of Central and South American music. Sweat away your tensions on the dance floor and impress everyone around you.

5) Take in a game. There are many professional sports teams in Miami, including the championship Heat and resurgent Dolphins. If you want to cool down a bit, go to a Panthers ice hockey game. On a cool, calm day, relax at the ballpark with the Marlins baseball team.

7) Get a sports car. With highways that allow for top speeds of eighty miles an hour, investigating Miami and southern Florida yourself is never better than with an open-top sports car that can push seven thousand revolutions per minute.

8) Surf the surf. Though the waves are not as highly regarded as those in California, the tides in Miami routinely bring in large waves that surfers can test their skills against. Once you are done, comb the beaches for driftwood and seashells.

9) Try skydiving. If you are on vacation, why not do something totally out of the ordinary? Extreme sports like skydiving are quite popular in Miami due to the large population and the need to blow off steam. Drop out of a plane on a beautiful Florida day and drink in the scenery before you pull the chute.

10) Race around the block. Horse racing is becoming increasingly popular at Miami, with many different stadiums and racing tracks. The Cuban population of the city have long ties into horse racing with many families competing for the crown titles each year with their racing stallions and mares.

Do you want to continue shoveling thousands of dollars into covering your power bill when an installation of solar panels not only eliminates that need, but also allows you to sell energy back to the power company? I’m talking homes, businesses, everywhere. Would you rather fill up your truck’s thirty-gallon gas tank with every last penny of your check rather than partially rely on electricity for your car that you have an abundance of anyways thanks to those solar panels? See, being green can be fun. Or at least helpful to your wallet, which is fun.

Of course, as with everything good in life, there is a risk involved. In California, you can’t control what’s going to happen. Earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, they’ve got them all. Usually there is nothing we can do about it, except be prepared. Being a little prepared can go a long way. You wouldn’t want the earthquake to hit before you put the seismic strap on the water heater. If you haven’t done that yet, you’re welcome for the reminder. I’ll wait right here while you go take care of that.

Protect yourself

Let’s be honest, despite the financial relief going green has after the initial set up, installation can be awfully expensive. The kind of expensive that prompts you to sell a kidney on the black market just to make it to next week’s paycheck. Why take the risk when you can protect yourself with a few simple steps:

• Learn what types of disasters are prevalent in your area
• Did you know many homeowners insurance policies do not extend coverage to fixing or replacing the damage caused to green items in your home?
• Figure our what is covered, then fork up the few extra bucks a month for the full coverage. You’re already saving more with all that extra energy you’re selling back to the power company; keep that source of income safe!
• Learn the methods to reduce risks associated with going green

Think about it, isn’t this one of those situations where it is better to be safe than sorry? Thanks to the California Green Chemistry Initiative, turning towards environmentally friendly methods is becoming increasingly more important, but so is protecting yourself against disasters.

What could happen?

There are all kinds of potential hazards to your green technology: floods, winds, an earthquake, blue ice falling from an airplane. Get your green building covered from it all. Whether you come from a family of diesel truck drivers, or even own an industrial oil company, it’s ok to go green.

Should a disaster ever occur, there are companies available to assist any cleanup and restoration needed, companies that have become Certified Green Risk Professionals, working to help protect those with green homes affected by disaster.

Everybody remember this sign on Highway 101 in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, California, the beloved and famous Yahoo! billboard which was full of neon lights and oft-changing funny messages. It was like a neighbour to all inhabitants of this area.

It is hard to imagine anyone shedding tears over the loss of a billboard, but a lot of San Franciscans found their eyes watering up the day it has been taken down. Before being removed, many people fought against the loss of this icon of the dot.com era thanks to petitions and Facebook groups like “Save the Yahoo! billboard”.

The creators of this sign, Steve Stone and Bob Kerstetter (from the ad agency Black Rocket) thought it would be up only for one or two years and finally stayed for a decade. They both also remember the best messages on the sign, their favourite ones are “You look cute today” and the guy who proposed his girlfriend in the message space.

Apparently, Yahoo! did not want to pay the monthly sum (between US$ 65,000 and US$85,000) to keep this panel and prefer to focus on new and more innovative communication.

Many people say that the abandonment of this billboard testifies the decline of the company.

Many people do not really understand why Yahoo! didn’t continue its communication through this billboard because it had a lot of success and gave a good image of Yahoo! during this hard period for the company. Yahoo! had shown a negative image those last years. In 2008, the shareholders of Yahoo! neglected two major proposals: one on censorship, another one on Human Rights … In 2007, a mother of a Chinese journalist who has been sent to jail “thanks” to the information provided by Yahoo! China, filed a complaint against Yahoo!. This case poisoned the reputation of Yahoo! for many years. Shi Tao, a Chinese journalist, was sentenced to ten years in prison in April 2005 for “revealing state secrets” to be transmitted abroad for official instructions to the Chinese media on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. During his trial, it has been discovered that Chinese police had been traced back to him through the information provided by Yahoo! the e-mail account of Shi Tao, yet registered with Yahoo Hong Kong and not mainland China.

Then, in 2006, Reporters Without Borders tested at the time the various search engines present in China: Yahoo! won handily the censorship tests, beating Google, and Baidu …

Now, it seems as though San Francisco will lose something that most people forget soon after they pass by, but which will always have a place in their hearts.

In the year 1990, Robert Talbott shirts took over Lucerne shirt makers. Immediately after that they hired Mark Calder, a leading Californian designer who specialized in international and chic look. He worked paralleled with Robert Jensen leading to the birth of Estate lines of dress shirts. Robert Talbotts estate neckwear line made by Robert Jensen came in the picture a few years later.

The company’s life and story is considered legendary in the American fashion industry. In the middle century a successful Wall Street investment banker gave up all and heads west with his wife. They were settled in California with very little money to startup their own business. However, they entrepreneurial zeal and goal lead them to successfully start a factory of hand sewing neckwear in a two car garage. Around 50 years later, the small startup catering to some tie lovers went on to be the largest neckwear maker in the world. Robert Talbott passed away in the year 1986 but the business is still being run successfully by his wife Audrey.

The company very strictly adheres to the principals followed by Robert when he was alive. Everyone who had known Robert was aware that he believed in the philosophy of quality and not money. He always had the zeal to be the best and wanted to feature in the top of the American fashion industry. The reason why robert talbot ties went up was due to the fact that he stuck to making high quality products making hand craftsmanship a top priority.

The firm initially was into making bow ties but Robert always wanted to expand into a full clothing line. He devised new strategies to be the number one player in the market. Robert Talbott sevenfold strategy created wonders for the company.  However with time the sevenfold technology died down as it involved use of double the amount of silk of ties leading to higher cost process. It became extremely difficult to find hand sewers  who knew working with this technique. But Robert got lucky in the year 1985 with Lydia Grayson – a leading specialist in sevenfold technique in Chicago.

In order to become globally know, Talbot started showcasing his collection in the European trade fairs and exhibitions as well. The firm exhibited its collection in the well known Pitti Uomo show in Rome consecutively for three years. This presence got the firm closer to leading European tie and shirt makers like Charvet, Lorenzini, Asser etc.

The estate shirts have an international look and feel to it. They do not believe in following the latest fashion but in creating a classic look. Their styles include the popular collar styles like elongated point, cutaway, button down etc.  The unique point of Robert Talott shirts is that they are sewn by hand and the silk gussets, buttons are specially made in England. No other company has ever put so much handwork like Talbott.

Talbott’s sport shirts are also popular. The material is soft with one piece tailored and spread collars. Their other expansions include waistcoats, vests and robes. This is a mark of the company’s large market share in the luxury fashion world. Robert Talbott very rightly adhered to his saying –“Take the top and run with it”.
