The common theme emerging is that theme parks may have a rough go of it this summer. I am not so sure.. Check out this video, the jist is that while Six Flags (SIX), Busch Gardens (BUD) and Cedar Fair (FUN) may suffer, Disney (DIS) ought to sail through unscathed. Some empirical evidence may just suggest that may not be so true. A recent trip to Dunkin Donuts revealed the Six Flags sum

"I think it's amazing," said Kristen Lukas, curator of conservation and science at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Ohio and the gorilla species survival plan coordinator for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. "I think it's a testament to the good care that she's received at the Dallas Zoo and also the resilience of gorillas in general." Lukas said gorillas in the wild normally would live to age 30 or 35. Health care and protection from predators has extended the lifespan in zoos.

Looking for a fabulous feast? You can find it right inside Universal. I did. No kidding. Two theme parks, three hotels and the restaurant-packed Universal CityWalk complex offer dining choices aplenty to Universal fans. In the parks, I was surprised to find that every ingredient is made from scratch. Executive Chef Steve Jayson would rather his team cut and steam fresh green beans than buy them frozen, for example, and he never brings frozen fish onto the premises. The result? Satisfying meals at all price levels. Mythos (which I discovered too late) located within the Islands of Adventure theme park, is the most magical of Universal's theme park eateries. The dining room resembles an underwater Greek grotto, but I'm told that you won't notice once you begin sampling Chef Mark Wach

Hello readers! So sorry about the delay for a new post! I have had some recent computer problems, but finally got a half-decent laptop, so I’m back in business. Thank you for being patient, if there are any of you out there!Last night marked the Opening Night of the 2008 Major League Baseball season and needless to say, it jump started in good fashion. The Washington Nationals’ new ballpark was christened with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth for a Nats win.Most clubs open up their seasons today or tomorrow, including our beloved Mets, down in Florida against the Marlins. I am sure we all look forward to a great and exciting season ahead of us. Don’t forget to keep up with my pre-season predictions!So there are a few things I would like to touch on in this post.

In the coming weeks, the U.S. Department of the Interior will announce proposed changes to the rules that bar the carrying and transporting of firearms in national parks.

Some opponents of the change say that you don't need access to a firearm in a national...(read more)

In the song "Take Me Out To The Ball Game", the singer wants someone to "buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks", but recently sporting venues have been offering an unusual pairing of seating along with all-you-can-eat snacks for one price.Designed to bring people into sporting arenas, stadiums, and even racetracks, venues have been offering tickets for special seating where the fan can also get unlimited snacks and sodas at special concession stands located near the seating section. Nearly half of the baseball teams have the all-inclusive seats/snacks package, with the NHL, NBA, and even NASCAR using this at some of their racetracks and venues around the country to lure new fans, and perhaps their appetites as well.

When touring new clients around Bellingham, I always point out our many trails and parks.  I am proud of the amount of parks we have here, and the ever growing trail system.One of my favorite parks is Whatcom Falls Park.  The trails twist and turn through out it...the fish ponds are a sight to behold, but the waterfall is the grandest sight!  The sound it makes is rather majestic.  The park is magic to me, it takes the worldly issues and puts them on the back burner, so to speak!Disc Golf is very popular at Cornwall Park. My son Aaron is an avid player...good, clean fun that keeps him out of trouble!  There is a cool new site called trails.com where you can find information about trails and parks in any city!

The Southwest is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK and as such accommodation can become a premium when you are looking for your holiday.

Slightly off topic but none the less it is the time of year when the weather starts to turn and we are all looking for a break.

I was looking around the Internet and found that there were loads of holiday parks in the UK. I almost brushed past them and then I thought I would take a look, well too my surprise they looked pretty good. I wasn't really interested in the family parks, they did look like fun though especially if you were someone who had a family or a group of friends, you could hire a static caravan in Newquay and enjoy everything in and around Newquay and still have the park as well.

Several of our favorite parks are set to close, including Manchester State Park in Mendocino County. It is our favorite rustic camping spot along the California coast.We ordinarily keep our politics to ourselves; however, we hope you will join us in protecting the 48 state parks in California on the chopping block.

I’m really hoping Daredevil Annual #1 is just a pilot for a Black Tarantula series. Though Daredevil figures in to the issue, opening it and popping in from time to time on a case, the focus is Black Tarantula. Reading the issue, it kept surprising me (though, I suppose, reading the solicitation material would have had me cleared up before starting it… funny how there are no blurbs on comic books. Just the cover. It’s like going to a movie theater and picking off the poster, if the poster had nothing to do with the content, other than showing at least one of the actors). First it seems like the annual is going to follow Daredevil’s pursuit of a bad guy, then his investigation of a murder, but then Black Tarantula shows up and–at first–it seems like he and Daredevil are on a collision course. As it closes, the stage is set for a Black Tarantula limited… sort of Daredevil meets The Punisher meets “The Rockford Files” (just because Jim Rockford was an

Picnic in Paris: Paris Parks are Ripe for Picnics Today, you are in Paris, and you need a place to picnic. There are so many possible locations, that I could never list them all.

A lot of people don't know that behind the Notre-Dame there

With a few minutes to spare, a brief walk, along part of Embankment, via Trafalgar Square, across the Mall, through St. James Park, across the Mall again at Buckingham Palace to Green Park before arriving at The Park Lane Hotel.To say that the colour/color of the trees was stunning is understating the matter, but what made it more interesting was all the people walking through the parks dressed in their suits/smart work cloths going to work, an interesting contrast to the parks at other times.The top image shows Embankment from the walkway across the Thames near Embankment Underground Station with Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on the skyline (in the middle). The sun had just risen over the buildings on the opposite side of the river and gave the trees an even more red/orange hue than normal.The next image is just outside St. James Park (to the right) and while doing some quick sketches I'd hoped for a nice group of people to come along. They never did, just single people off t

Young and old enjoy rides offered at amusement parks. And although you might not think so, it truly is one of the safety forms of recreation there is. You are more likely to be hurt riding your bike. So why is that? The physics of amusement parks have a lot to do with it and so do safety practices.Stats show that one in 250 million riders will be killed, and that less than .003% of riders are injured. That’s a very low number! And that number could actually be lower because the number one reason for injury or death is a result of a preventable error. That’s because physics actually keeps you relatively safe while riding the rides.Let’s look at the bumper car. Bumper cars are designed to be able to collide with no danger to the rider.

Young and old enjoy rides offered at amusement parks. And although you might not think so, it truly is one of the safety forms of recreation there is. You are more likely to be hurt riding your bike. So why is that? The physics of amusement parks have a lot to do with it and so do safety practices.Stats show that one in 250 million riders will be killed, and that less than .003% of riders are injured. That’s a very low number! And that number could actually be lower because the number one reason for injury or death is a result of a preventable error. That’s because physics actually keeps you relatively safe while riding the rides.Let’s look at the bumper car. Bumper cars are designed to be able to collide with no danger to the rider. That’s because the cars are surrounded in large rubber bumper pads that diffuse the impact, while the driver is snuggly buckled in with a five point harness. Newton’s’ third law of motion certainly applies to bumper cars. If you don’t know wh

When deciding to invest in any type of real estate, stock investment, or any other type of investment whether a CD or an oil well, these all include with them a risk however small or large. Depending on the risk you perceive in each type of investment you will expect or hope for a certain return. As the perceived risk goes up you will want a greater potential return and vice versa. According to most books and advice you get from investment advisors, real estate usually is regarded as being a safe investment as the downturns in real estate have usually been short-lived and have corrected themselves quickly. This is generally speaking and goes for most real estate markets. However, when you invest in markets that have one major employer or are dependent on a certain industry, you may run the risk of a long term decline in values and occupancy if something happens to that employer or industry. Like most investment real estate, mobile home parks are similar in that you typically expect the

After a five-hour haul up to Sequoia National Park with a tent and cooler stuffed for a weekend camping sojourn in big-tree country, you wouldn't dream of pulling into Lodgepole campground at dusk without a reservation. More than 200 chock-a-block campsites occupy this unofficial Mission Control for car campers in one of the country's most popular parks. And on a warm evening in late summer, with the world's largest tree hulking just minutes down the road and a 20% chance of isolated thunderstorms hovering somewhere above the western Sierra, you can bet that every one of them will be occupied by a friendly family grilling slabs of meat under a dome of cloudless sky.

Gooseberry Falls There are many state parks along the north shore of Lake Superior. We've hiked most of them several times over the years. I mentioned Temperance State Park and Tettegouche State Park in earlier posts, here are some of the other parks we like to visit.Gooseberry Falls: Usually our first stop as we drive up scenic Highway 61, Gooseberry Falls State Park is a popular place to climb over rocks around the upper, middle and lower falls. It is a short hike to the main falls area from the parking lot at the visitor's center. Depending on the water level, you can climb all over the falls themselves. There are longer hikes along the Gooseberry River if you really want to stretch your legs. You can also drive down to the beach and enjoy a picnic lunch and hunt for agates.Split Rock Lighthouse Split Rock Lighthouse: Although Split Rock is close to Gooseberry Falls, we usually save it for the last day so we can visit the rocky beach early in the morning before we drive h

So many travel sites have raved about the perfect Florida vacation. Being home to Disney, it looks like a great holiday destination for the entire family cos there is something for everyone. Exciting theme parks, glorious white sandy beaches, award winning golf courses and it’s hard not to enjoy yourself in an Orlando Vacation. Besides, the wonderful climate and year round sunshine makes it nice to plan for a vacation anytime of the year. Maybe we’ll wait for Clayton to turn five just so that he can appreciate the theme parks a little more. At this moment, he will be ‘lost’ with all the choices surrounding him. I know it’ll be great enjoying ourselves as a family with all the entertainment, dinner shows, activities and adventures… I can’t wait for that day to come!

Breaking news: hitters apparently don't really know where they hit well. According to a CNNSI poll of 257 ML non-pitchers, here are the best big league parks in which to hit:Citizens Bank Park (Phillies)---25% (13) (8)Great American Ball Park (Reds)---19% (12) (1)Coors Field (Rockies)---8% (1) (2)U.S. Cellular Field (White Sox)---7% (15) (9)Chase Field (Diamondbacks)---5% (7) (4)Minute Maid Park (Astros)---5% (23) (12)Fenway Park (Red Sox)---4% (2) (13)Angel Stadium of Anaheim (Angels)---2% (6) (25)The first number in each row is the percentage of players polled who named each given venue. The second and third numbers, added in by yours truly, are the Park Factor (for runs) for each stadium in 2007, (in bold) and 2006, respectively.I'm surprised that Coors didn't come in even higher, what with its reputation for altitude-related offensive explosions, and its routine 1st-place finishes in Park Factor.

Plans are on to invest more than Dh.20billion for making Dubai as one of the top-most location to house the most prestigious theme parks in the world.The ambitious target of Dubai to attract 15 million tourists by 2010 has captured the attention of even the biggest names in the global entertainment business such as the US film studios Universal and Paramount Pictures.On completion of the projects in hand, Dubai will be the place for rides and attractions based on hits such as the 'Mission Impossible' and 'Titanic' and the emirate would no longer be only a haven for golden beaches and luxury hotels.Paramount Pictures recently permitted Ruwaad Holdings, a real estate firm to construct a theme park in its name. It will be a Dh.9.2billion mixed-use development, featuring shopping centers, resorts, and hotels. The location for constructing the theme park is yet to be finalized.

From WT7 closeup (Arklow Bank, Ireland) Originally uploaded by rodonnelly The Government of Spain approved on August 1st legislation that will allow offshore wind parks to be built off its coast. It is predicted that the offshore wind parks will generate between 2,000 and 3,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity by 2020. “Spain is a peninsula with sea on three sides and so is one of the best places in the world for building wind farms at sea,” Carlos Montana from the Spanish Ministry of Industry told RenewableEnergyAccess.com, one of the sources of the story. Experimental offshore wind farm projects have already been built on the sea-bed in sites around Cadiz, Huelva, Castellon and in the Ebro Delta. While more expensive than land-based wind farms, offshore wind parks can take advantage of stronger, steadier coastal breezes. On the other hand, they suffer from logistical problems and corrosion. According to the Spanish diary El Pais, currently there are no wind turbines spe

I like to hike as much as the next guy — I suppose. It is quite a different activity when you are in blistering heat and have not been blessed with an adequate amount of melanin. That said, I would say consider hiking throughout the band of canyons (Palm, Tahquitz, Murray, Andreas, et al.), nestled in the outskirts of Palm Springs, during the cooler months. We experienced the Palm Canyon during the month of July (we really need to stay out of the desert in the summer months, there’s a reason these resorts drop their rates then). In hindsight, the Tahquitz Canyon probably would have been a better pick with its refreshing 60′ waterfall. For those of you who are avid hikers and/or very outdoor-sie types, you will really enjoy this any time of the year. I think part of the problem for us was we did not take the guided tour (general admission $8 + $2/3 bucks for the hour long guided tour), I think our experience would have been very different. As far as the level of diffi

That’s just what I’ve been up to since last posting about my exciting life:) Bunco was girls night…once a month…lots of fun as usual. Water park with R and my sil and niece…lots of fun! Dress shopping for other sil’s wedding… alone time, but NOT so fun. I found 4 dresses and bought them all! I’m taking three back tomorrow:) We ended the weekend off at the local pool…just the 3 of us and it was relaxing and a good time. R loves the new water slide they have! She told my mom about it today saying “I went down the slide all by myself… then SPLASH!” R and I went with our MOMSClub to the Great Harvest Bread Co. and had a good time. The kids each made a cookie and bread! They were so excited and amazed. When R was telling B about it tonight she said “next time we go to the bread company daddy…we’ll make sure we bring you a cookie and some bread, I promise!” It was the sweetest thing. She re
