"I think that we don't have enough oversight now, and I agree with those in the parasailing industry — and with those who have real public safety concerns — that we need to do a better job," he said.
How these concerns are addressed remains to be seen and depends on what bills are filed for the 2014 legislative session.
"Whether the emphasis needs to be placed on insurance or on training or on specific safety precautions, I think that's what the legislative process is for," Gaetz said, "but I

Last session, House and Senate parasailing regulation bills were filed — both by democrats — and barely moved at all.
"I am anti-regulation," Gaetz said Monday, adding he's worked on legislation that's eliminated "hundreds and hundreds" of regulations at the state level.

On July 1, the line, which connected the girls' parasail to the boat, snapped sending them adrift, and they eventually slammed into a condo building. The incident quickly energized interest in the parasailing bills.

Every year, it seems like there's clamoring for legislation to regulate some industry — jet skis, tractors or trucks, Patronis said.
"I'm not for trying to create the reach of government in anybody's life," he said.
Patronis hasn't completely made his mind up, though, on all forms of parasailing regulation.
"If, you know, findings come out in an investigation that … this could have been averted by some type of standardized policy, then I'll be willing to listen to the debate. That's for sure," he said.

Varies by customer class and system performance (see below)
In January 2006, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted a program – the California Solar Initiative (CSI) – to provide more than $3 billion in incentives for solar projects with the objective of achieving participation levels accounting for 3,000 MW of solar capacity by 2017. Senate Bill 1 was signed by the Governor in August 2006, expanding the CSI to include publicly-owned utilities with a total ratepayer-funded budget of $3.5 billion.
Aside from the solar programs administered by the publicly-owned utilities, two programs serve the investor-owned electric service territories. [http://www.dsireusa.org/library/includes/incentive2.cfm?Incentive_Code=C... One is overseen by the CPUC], which provides incentives for existing residential homes and existing and new commercial, industrial, and agricultural properties. The other program, the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP), is administered by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and provides incentives for solar on new home construction. To be eligible for the NSHP incentive, the home must receive electricity from one of the following investor-owned utilities: Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, San Diego Gas and Electric Company, and Bear Valley Electric Service.
Launched on January 2, 2007, the New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP) is a 10-year, $400 million program to encourage solar in new homes by working with builders and developers to incorporate into the homes high levels of energy efficiency and high-performing solar systems. The NSHP specifically targets the market-rate and affordable housing single-family and multifamily sectors, with the goal of achieving 400 MW of installed solar electric capacity on new homes, and to have solar electric systems on 50% of all new homes built in California by the end of 2016.
Incentives are determined by the housing type and the expected performance of the system, which depends on factors like equipment efficiency, geographic location, orientation, tilt, shading, and time-dependent valuation. These factors are then compared to a reference system in San Jose, California. To qualify for incentives, the residential dwelling unit must be achieve at least 15% higher energy efficiency than the current Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (please refer to the New Solar Homes Partnership Guidebook for specific details and program requirements). The incentive is paid once the system is installed, operational, and has met all program requirements.
There are four incentive levels available:
'''''Tier I Incentive:''''' Expected Performance Based Incentive (EPBI) level as of July 23, 2013 is $1.50/watt. This applies to projects that have an energy efficiency compliance margin of at least 15 percent better than the Building Energy Efficiency Standards as specified in Chapter II, Section B.
'''''Tier II Incentive:''''' The EPBI level as of July 23, 2013 is $1.75/watt. This applies to projects that have an energy efficiency compliance margin of at least 30 percent better than the Building Energy Efficiency Standards and a space-cooling compliance margin of at least 30 percent better than the Building Energy Efficiency Standards as specified in Chapter II, Section B.
'''''Residential Areas of Affordable Housing Projects:''''' The EPBI amount as of July 23, 2013 is $2.20/watt. This applies to affordable housing projects of all sizes.
'''''Common Areas of Affordable Housing Projects:''''' There is currently no incenitve for solar electric systems serving the common areas of affordable housing projects.
All incentives will decline over time as specific megawatt targets are achieved. Refer to the NSHP Guidebook and contact the program administrator for complete details.
Must use CEC-certified [http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/equipment/pv_modules.php PV modules] and [http://www.gosolarcalifornia.org/equipment/inverters.php inverters].
Systems must be grid-connected.
Inverters and modules must each carry a 10-year warranty.
PV modules must be certified to UL 1703 by a nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL)
Inverters must be certified to UL 1741 by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). They also must have completed the Energy Commission's required weighted efficiency testing.

Day 4 (276km): Into the Heat of the Night
I woke up to beautiful mountain views and clear blue sky; this is going to be a good day. By ADV standards we are pretty slow starters, we typically hit the road etween 9 and 10 am, and today we were towards the later end of that time window. No schedule, no worries. We tend to have a leisurely breakfast, followed by slow packing and occasional sightseeing.
A simple yet effective breakfast
And some tea too
We changed things up a little bit and took a different road back to the highway. It was more challenging than the road we were on last night, tight turns and some loose gravel. A fun way to kick off the day.
The new road required some more navigation
Back on the highway things were smooth sailing. Highway 20 is a pleasure to ride, reasonably nice surface but more importantly pretty much free of traffic, or at least in our experience it was. It's a nice fast road, enough turns to keep things interesting and some nice scenery to feast the eyes upon. We stopped for a mid day snack at a roadside campground that bordered a glacier blue river. We weren't the only ones taking a little break, there was a camper van family as well, we had a nice chat the gentleman as he was fascinated with our BMWs.
Sharpening up some pegs
Glacier waters
Back on the road, vroom vroom, off we go. When the road eventually got a centerline traffic picked up a little bit. As we descended into Williams Lake the temperature gauge sky rocketed, we werent expecting this. It eventually peaked at 29.5 degrees and we looked for shelter in the air conditioned grocery store. We stocked up on the essentials, including some bug spray with a higher concentration of DEET. Down the road was a Denny's so we stopped for a bite to eat and some wifi access.
Coming down to Williams Lake
Camping options in the direction we were heading looked limited to so we decided to camp nearby, but south of the town. As we were leaving the Denny's parking lot a guy on a bicycle stopped to say hello. He said that we looked like we were riding around the world, and we didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise. All too frequently people ask us either where we came from or how long we've been riding expecting an exotic answer, and when we tell the truth we usually get a disappointed reaction. This guy was so friendly and happy we told him about riding in south america. He wanted to follow us on his bicycle and party in every town we stopped. Thankfully he couldn't keep up because I suspect we couldn't keep up with his partying.
We camped for the night at a popular lake Rec Site, Chimney Lake. It was packed. There are a few places along the lake and it seems to be a popular place to spend the hot summer days for William's Lakers. We found a nice quiet little spot, away from the crowds somewhat. The first thing we did though was take a swim and it was amazing. The water was cold but it felt really good.
Camping setup
Alberto's hair is getting out of control
The rest of the afternoon we spent sitting in the sun, enjoying the slight breeze. Some tunes and some snacks were the only accessories we required, well maybe a little bug spray as well. It's a nice little spot and the locals are very friendly, offering their help unprompted.
We were treated to a nice sunset

Day 5 (380km): Get Lost
I could tell when I woke up this morning at 6:30am that we were heading for another hot day. So I quickly woke Alberto up and told him that we should hit the road ASAP. He agreed. We quickly packed up, drank some breakfast and hit the road. But not before I dropped my bike leaving the campsite, stupid hill. It's a fine line between the point of no return and glory when trying to take the bike of the side stand.
Fun roads near Williams Lake
We rode back the way we came to Williams Lake. I stopped at the grocery store and stocked up on some water. We weren't planning on being anywhere near civilization for the next few days. One last quick check of the map and we were off. Tragically our TomTom died about a week ago, and has yet to revive itself. This is quite unfortunate in some situations, like finding the right road in cities. Oh well, I chose to improvise to the best of my knowledge and it worked out. What we discovered was an amazingly twisty road, that we had all to ourselves so early on a Sunday morning. It was road biking bliss. Elevation changes, technical corners, a nice cool morning breeze. Good times.
The road turned to gravel as we descended down to the river, and stayed dirt for a little ways before turning back to a rough paved road. Based on our map we were expecting more gravel, but there you go, it was paved. We continued through farmland, into the back of Quesnel. There we topped up with gas, and met a nice gentleman on a Honda Goldwing. The day was starting to heat up so we wanted to keep moving. Another quick glance of the map and we had a route planned for the rest of the day. Our intention was to follow what looked like backroads towards Prince George.
Trying to 'catch' Naomi
We turned off at 10 Mile Lake, and we were again surprised that the road was paved. The road changed from dirt to paved and when we finally intersected the highway we discovered that we had gone way too far north. This was one of the moments that TomTom would have earned his keep. He would have alterted us that we had gone astray. So once again we checked our map and realized we didn't really need to backtrack that far we decided to continue with the original plan. Back on Highway 97 we headed south keeping our eyes open for Genvieve street. We didn't find it, but thankfully where we stopped to check our map again was indeed the road we were looking for, it just wasn't signed. Back on track we headed for the hills.
We didn't get very far though. There was active logging going on and the road was blocked.
This must be a logging zone
There was an alternate road that looked like it would get us where we needed to go though, so we tried our luck on that one. We saw a couple of pickups shooting a gun, but that was it. No logging, no people. Lots of unnamed intersections and blind guesses on our part. All the random guessing eventually led us to a dead end, but the riding was fun and we weren't really going anywhere in particular today. Just a couple of fun seekers on some motorbikes.
Are we LOST again? ... great! left or right? ...let the fun begin
We were getting close.... to a dead end
No TomTom? no problem, get that Backroad Mapbook out
The ruts - bottom left - don't look like much but boy... Alberto got into some almost un-savable wobbles
Too many wrong turns and 90min later we decided to head back out to the highway to a road that we saw and knew where it led. We were now interested in a sure thing. So back to the highway we went, but not before seeing some local wildlife: moose and calf plus a deer.
Back on the HWY
We turned off the highway on to Naver road, which we thought was going to be paved (based on our map). This was not the case, but we saw an RV coming the opposite direction so we thought we were for sure on the right track. There was more signage but it was still pretty weak, and of course we took a wrong turn. 50/50 odds, and we were not doing so well today. We considered stopping at a pretty lame Rec Site but the mosquitoes were very aggressive and that kept us searching.
We pointed ourselves in the only direction left, and finally we guessed right. Success! By this time though the temperature was hovering around 27 degrees and we had taken several wrong turns. I had choked down a lot of dust, and was cursing TomToms good name. I was starting to loose Alberto too. We hadn't really had lunch, he was cooking inside his riding gear and his back was past its limit for the day, we needed to find a place to camp, the sooner the better.
Eventually a sign I recognized appeared, phew we were driving in the right direction at least, and I remembered that Stoney Lake, where we were trying to go, was nearby. Alberto was eager to stop for the day, and it was hard to keep up with him. We chose to stop at Stoney Lake Rec Site (North) for the evening and we were rewarded. A nice peaceful spot with a good view. There were a couple of families with campers also enjoying the lake, which in our opinion is a good sign.
FINALLY Stony Lake
Just a bit dirty ... that VeRubber tyre has had a good run
Very nice spot was Stony Lake
We had barely set up the tent when we ran down to the lake for a dip. Oh boy, that felt good. It was sweltering inside our suits. A bit too hot for our tastes and not what I was expecting when we decided to go North for this road trip. The lake was refreshing, and under normal circumstances I would have considered it cold, but in that moment it was perfect.
We spent the rest of the evening hiding in the shade until the heat of the sun had dissipated. It was nice though, there was a cool breeze and sitting by the lake was very peaceful.

Day 6 (252km): The Gold Rush Circle Route
Some cloud cover that had rolled in over night was our friend this morning, it gave us a little extra time to enjoy the morning, without the fear of sweating our pants off trying to pack up later. We were feeling so cool we had oatmeal and tea for breakfast.
We had a good idea of where we were going this morning, and which made us less worried about getting lost, though the memories of the previous day were haunting us a little bit. We didn't really want to be in the same position at the end of the day. The riding was cool and breezy at first, a welcome change compared to how we ended the day yesterday. The road was pretty fun too, challenging enough without being terrifying. A very fun morning indeed.
Riding out of the free camping rec area
A bit of water to make a GS look like a GS
We came around a tight corner at one point and Alberto had a surreal moment. He thought he saw a teddy bear discarded at the side of the road, which he thought was strange, but then after a double take he realized it was a real live baby bear. The bear just sat there looking very cute watching him as he rode by merely inches away from it. Usually bears run off before I come along but even I saw this little guy. The bear was very cute, it's nice to see things like that.
We haven't seen rain for days... imagine when it rains in this area
Naomi having some fun
We eventually poped out of the woods at Barkerville, and discovered that our only hope of getting some much needed gas was in Wells. The only catch was that the gas station didn't open until noon. Yikes it was only 9:30am. I went to ask the reception at the nearby hotel if there was anyone else I could buy gas from, and she told me she would call the person who ran the gas station. The friendly lady opened the gas station for us, thank goodness. The kindness and helpfulness of the people of Wells saved us a tragic paved ride back to Quesnel. We also took advantage of the little break and bought some fresh popcorn. Not the most likely snack for a bike rider.
Cool mining shopping cart
Begging for gas
The wait isn't too bad when you have a bag fresh popcorn
Now armed with full tanks of gas we set out on the Gold Rush Circle Route, which by the way is well signed, a welcome bonus. The road conditions are mixed, at times it is as smooth as pavement and other times there is heavy gravel. It's a mixed bag, but an enjoyable ride nonetheless. We saw very few other vehicles, mostly road maintenance machiniery in fact. The scenery was typical beautiful British Columbia: rivers, forests, lakes and snow caped mountains. A perfect ride, in a perfect place.
BC is beautiful
Mountains started to show their face
Naomi looking cool
Definitely a great ride
Making sure we're not getting lost again
Some of the views
Stretching technique on a GS
Taking a short break
The road finally connects back to civilization in Likely, but before returning back to the outside world we saw another bear (full grown) and a moose with two calves. The wildlife tally for this trip keeps growing.
We decided to break for lunch in Lively. There is a nice spot beside the river with picnic tables, and a public washroom. The lunch of champions included a shake, popcorn, and an ice cream (purchased from the corner store). One thing I must say is that I love traveling with my shaker cup, it does everything from mixing drinks to making scrambled eggs. I'll never leave home without it again! It provides an easy instant meal and provides much needed convenience when we are on the road.
Lunch by the river in Likely
Going crazy for GOLD
Short Peruvian miner vs tall Canadian one
Alberto's back was getting tired and there were some campgrounds in the area do we decided to check them out. We got lucky on the first try and ended up setting up camp at Jacobie Lake Rec Site. We had a lakeside campsite and the place to ourselves. Score!
After setting up the tent we took a bath/shower in the lake. It felt amazingly refreshing and very needed. I ate so much dust today, that swim felt like the best thing on earth. We stopped for the day pretty early so we had lots of time to lounge around and relax beside the lake. The only issue, which has been a theme throughout, was the bugs. We had to hide in the tent most of the time, instead of enjoying the great outdoors outside.

Wow, great pictures and R.R.! Beautiful! The pictures I took compared to yours, I might as well have given the neighbour's dog some crayons and had him draw some for me
I went to Bella Coola in late September 2010 on my F800 as well, but mine is the ST version
The miles of gravel and the "hill" were a little bit more interesting on an overloaded streetbike with nearly treadless tires, I must say though lol
The temps were awesome (just below freezing in the mornings from Williams Lake on in to Bell Coola) because there were NO bugs or mosquitoes to run from
I was nearly the last guy out of Bella Coola before the town and all access in or out by the only road was demolished in the great flood! (Sept 26th 2010) All the bridges, the highway, the town, everything washed away and got nuked virtually moments after I left!!! Everyone there had to be barged out and down the coast to the Island. I couldn't believe the news when I got back home and saw how flukey my luck was getting out!

When the red-coated ranks of British regulars tramped westward from Boston on the fateful morning of April 19, 1775, little did they know that they were about to catapult the sleepy village of Concord, Massachusetts into the history books. The British captured the rebels' stores of ammunition and flour and dumped the lot into the millpond in the center of town before being faced down at the Old North Bridge by a freelance militia that sent them scurrying back to Boston.
Before continuing the engagement known as the Revolutionary War, the frugal Yankees of Concord fished the bullets and barrels of flour out of the pond and found that the flour in the center of each barrel was still dry. The loaves of bread baked from that flour must have been especially toothsome to the patriots of Concord.
Literary Legacies
"Four friends who walked in Concord's pleasant ways / Long years ago. They dwelt and worked apart, / But now the world has crowned them with its bays, / And holds them close forever to its heart," wrote poet John Clair Minot in praise of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The burial place of these men has become a destination for literary pilgrims.
Authors' Ridge is easily reached by entering the cemetery through Prichard Gate, off Bedford Street (Route 62), eastbound from Monument Square. Wend your way through the hollow to the far side, following the engraved marker posts. A winding path from the foot of the ridge leads you first to the Thoreau family plot. The Hawthorne family plot is on the left.
Next you will find the gravestones of the Alcotts — father (A.B.A.), mother (A.M.A), and three of the four children, whom we fondly know by the names of the characters in Louisa May's book Little Women: Louisa May "Jo" (L.M.A.), Abba May Alcott Nieriker "Amy" (M.A.N.), and Elizabeth Sewall Alcott "Beth" (E.S.A.). "Meg," Anna Bronson Alcott, is nearby with her husband, John Pratt.
Farther along the ridge is the gravesite of the Five Little Peppers books' author, Margaret Sidney (nee Harriet Mulford Stone, married name Mrs. Daniel Lothrop).
Not to be missed is the Emerson family plot. Granite posts and chains delineate the area, and a sizable, irregularly shaped chunk of rose quartz, in which is embedded a bronze plaque, marks Ralph Waldo's grave.
In addition to these luminaries resting on Authors' Ridge, gravesites throughout the cemetery capture contributions to and notable moments in American history. Explore this grove to find Ephraim Wales Bull, for example. Bull was the originator of the Concord grape — which is familiarly used in most grape juices today — and is remembered with the words, "He sowed, others reaped."

Setting yourself straight,
Senioritis is a real thing, but the thing that surprises me the most is the fact that my Senioritis in High School, was not as bad as this. Actually, I didn't have Senioritis in High School, I worked really hard in High School. My last trimester in High School, straight A's with all the HP and AP classes. Oh Yeah! I have to say I am still proud of myself because of that, but man college, that is a whole 'nother story.
I think the thing that stresses me out the most right now, is probably what I am going to be doing afterwards. It is literally driving me nuts making me not want to focus. But you know what, I am going to promise myself, that I am going to use my resources to my advantage. I am not going to try to do this alone. So guys, wish me luck! And good luck to those of you graduating this year both from High School, and College (regardless of what diploma you are getting)!

Accommodation and facilities:
With the Full Moon Bungalows you get what is says on the tin, and thats not a bad thing at all. The biggest positives by far are the location if you want to avoid the Chaweng madness and the couple who run the place, Paul and Sue are always at hand to provide advice, tips and will make a real effort to cater to your needs, wether it be booking tours (getting deals) and making your stay as comfortable as possible. I have read some negative comments posted here but there are 2 sides to every story. Its not the cheapest accomodation, that is a fair comment but i never felt unsafe or in need of anything more. I would stay there again for sure.

Dont stay here. We paid online for a family room as travelling with a 2yr old. Got there to find we had to go out for the day whist the owner tried to knock a hole in the wall to put in some aircon. Never happend. We were giving a standard room (one bed, instead of the 2 bedrooms and lounge we had paid for!). The light didnt work, he brought us a lamp, until he needed it for poker. The cleaner took some of my daughters toys. We only got SOME money back on the last day....but he still charged us 1000bht a night, and on our last trip to thailand we spent 350baht for nicer accomodation! He helped us rent a car. The door opened of its own accord, and the aircon leaked. Charged us double what we found elsewhere. Full of drunk middle aged western men beating up there thai girlfriends. Very close to the pier for full moon party, but shop around!! He will steal from you!

Accommodation and facilities:
Unbelievably overpriced. A bunch of run-down shacks. When I arrived, no one was there. My taxi driver and I looked around, knocked on some doors, and called the contact number (and then a cell phone started ringing behind the bar--so the owner didn t have his phone on him). Finally the owner and a friend showed up, and they appeared to be drunk (it was about 6PM). He said that he thought my arrival date was the previous day (although I d booked the cab ride simultaneously, and he d been waiting for me at the right time). As the cab driver helped me get my bags to the room, he told me those are whiskey guys. If anyone knocks on your door tonight, do NOT open! Then he gave me his card and said I could call him any time if I needed help. Needless to say, I was a bit unnerved--I frequenly travel solo, but as a woman, I feel I usually have to be overly cautious. I was going to leave, but it started raining in torrents, and the electricity went out. So I stayed put and slept there. In the morning, I went to return my key just before 10:30AM (the checkout time posted on the door), and again--no one was to be found. The bar/reception area was a disaster area with empty beer cans and bottles and cigarettes strewn around. I set my key on the bar and left. NOT recommended!

nice place with friendly staff. you meet a lot of people on their way to Koh Phangan, cause the Ferry is right beside. the rooms are ok and clean. The beach Bar is beautiful, cocktails are great and they ve got real coffee, not that instant coffee. If you re looking for a good time at Big Buddha Beach, thats the right place. Would come back every time.

Paul made me feel so welcome ~ I stayed just for one night before catching the morning ferry to Koh Tao and had a wonderful time. My bungalow was clean and if I needed anything at all, Paul was more than willing to accommodate. I would stay here again for the hospitality alone and to watch the most amazing sunsets ever

Enjoyed my stay at full moon bungalows!The location is perfect for anyone who is considering travelling to the Full moon party on Koh Phangan. Its situated right on the beach beside the pier for the speed boat to head out to Koh Phangan. The staff were friendly and very helpful! The beach was right on the doorstep and was a brillant place to relax! My favorite is the beach bar area where you meet other travellers. its a great hang out place with chill-out music. Watching the stunning sunsets with ice cold beer was awesome! I for one will definitely be coming back again. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at full moon bungalows! I was travelling on my own so I especially appreciated the warm anf freindly atmosphere of the bar and other travellers who were staying there including the owner who took me and another guest with him to see a local Thai boxing show that was on the night we arrived. The location is perfect for anyone who is considering travelling to the Full moon party on Koh Phang yang as you can literally step out the front door and on to the ferry! Also the owner has been here for many years and seen it all so if you need any info he can sort you out! It is in a quieter part of town away from all the big noise and bars but is definately not isolated, Just quieter so would be a great place to bring kids. There are many shops and restaurants located within a stones throw and a taxi to the main part of town only costs 100Bht, around $3. Theres a few bars and internet cafe s along the main street and It has everything you need except lots of people. The owner is English so theres no chance of anyhting being lost in translation which can sometimes happen with Thai operated resorts. He has plenty of local knowledge and quite often can save you alot of money and help you avoid the tourist traps. This was invaluable to me as I was travelling alone and had no knowledge of this part of the country. This place is very relaxing with a million dollar veiw from the the bar. I would recomend it to Families and couples and single travelers alike, as it is a great base for exploring Koh Samui and its a nice place to come back to and be away from the hustle and bustle! All in all I had a great time and will Definately stay there again with my family next time!

Vraiment pas terrible par rapport à ce à quoi on s attendait. La chambre était propre mais très très simple pour le prix et par rapport aux hotels environnants et pratiquant les mêmes tarifs. Je ne le conseille pas du tout. La nuit a été bruyante avec des gens qui tiraient des pétards dans la rue, des chiens qui aboyaient ...

What a great place Paul and Angela along with their friendly manager Nok have created here. Lovely location right on the beach with an intimate bar area to sit and admire the beautiful sunsets. Room was very spacious and clean. It s only a small group of bungalows so no issues with noise, overcrowding etc. There is a great little food market area just over the road which serves great soups and curries for a pittance. You can bring the food back to the bar to have a nice chilled Tiger beer to accompany it. If you are very lucky you also get to share the owners latest catch (I m not convinced it didn t come from the market) :) Overall if you are looking for a convenient base in Koh Samui with a welcoming and chilled out atmosphere, this should be your first port of call. Thanks again - Duncan

If you re looking for a big clean room, air conditioning, tv and a 15 metre walk to an iddylic beach then this is a great place to go. Along with the beautiful view from the bar are cheap food and drinks including cheese toasties! You re also a short walk away from a PADI scuba diving school so if you re a keen diver then this is also a bonus!

The beach is amazing and Paul and Angela have advice for everything. Noc and Jam (barman and cleaner) are the best and for us it was almost impossible to leave! FullMoon Bungalows ROCK!!!!!!!

Ramona Falls
Hiking Trail
Hard Sure, geology was a snore back in college, but Ramona Falls proves the subject can be exhilarating out in the real world. Formed from a slab of columnar basalt, the 120-foot-wide cascade fans out like a giant bouquet of mossy toadstools draped in a shimmering, lacy sheet of water. The grueling 1,000-foot climb to the falls, which crosses a footbridge over the snowmelt-swollen Sandy River, tests hikers' resolve each summer. But it doesn't do much to deter crowds. Expect a packed house at Ramona's showy display. —BMB
ROUND TRIP: 7 miles NEAREST TOWN: Zigzag DISTANCE FROM DOWNTOWN: 48 miles PACK: 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Portland; Green Trails Map No. 461; Northwest Forest Pass ($5)
Wildwood Recreation Area
Hiking Trail
Easy Four hikes depart from the trailhead, but the near mile-long Cascade Streamwatch Trail, with its underwater window built into a bank of the Salmon River, makes the biggest splash. In this open-air aquarium, steelhead and native trout wiggle upstream right before your eyes. —BMB
ROUND TRIP: 2 miles NEAREST TOWN: Welches DISTANCE FROM DOWNTOWN: 45 miles PACK: 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Portland; free maps at trailhead and Green Trails Map No. 461; $5 parking fee
Timothy Lake
Biking Trail
Easy Mountain bikers sweat. A lot. And this pristine 1,400-acre alpine reservoir is the perfect place to wash it away—after you've pedaled thirteen miles through the forest surrounding the lake. The smooth single-track and double-track road make this a lightning-fast ride, so don't be surprised if you want to do it twice. A second time around means you'll have an excuse to stop near the lake's southern end and take in Hood's hulking form hovering above the deep blue waters. —BMB

Salmon Butte
Hiking Trail
Hard Why this trail doesn't see more boots is a bit of a mystery, though it may have something to do with the three-thousand-foot elevation gain. Ridgelines littered with pink rhododendrons (in bloom this month) and views of five volcanoes, as well as the Three Sisters, make this one of Hood's hidden gems. And that's to say nothing of the surrounding forty-five-thousand-acre Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness, which, having never been touched by a chain saw, unfolds like an uncharted pine- wood ocean—one we're quite happy to have all to ourselves. For now. —BMB

Gunsight Ridge
Biking Trail
Hard Roller-coastering the spine of a rocky ridge in the shadow of Mount Hood's imposing summit, this trail delivers the kind of ride single-trackers salivate over: technical, steep, and twisty, with plenty of spectacular vistas. The push to reach Gunsight's high point is a tough 2,400-foot climb. But screaming legs and lungs get their due on a stomach-dropping descent that tears down the sharp-cornered Gumjuwac Saddle and continues beneath Lookout Mountain, where you'll catch teasing glimpses of Badger Lake's green waters some 1,000 feet below. —BMB
ROUND TRIP: 19 miles NEAREST TOWN: Government Camp DISTANCE FROM DOWNTOWN: 65 miles PACK: Mountain Biking Oregon; Green Trails Map No. 462; a jeep (for the rough road to the trailhead)
Cooper Spur
Hiking Trail
Hard This high-altitude adventure leads trekkers from Cloud Cap Campground to the foot of Mount Hood's massive Eliot Glacier, where mountaineers toting ice axes and crampons start their technical climbs. The trip from 6,000 feet to your stopping point at 8,500 feet might leave you sucking wind, but the sight lines, which stretch beyond Hood's treeless, moonlike upper reaches toward Mounts Rainier and Adams, are well worth the burn. An old stone climber's shelter along the way makes a great place to catch your breath and watch as Adams's snowy slopes are tinted pink by the setting sun. —BMB
ROUND TRIP: 7 miles NEAREST TOWN: Hood River DISTANCE FROM DOWNTOWN: 93 miles PACK: 60 Hikes within 60 Miles: Portland; Green Trails No. 462; Northwest Forest Pass ($5)
Lookout Mountain
Hiking Trail
Moderate Each summer, the flanks of Lookout Mountain are draped in a vivid cloak of wildflowers, giving the peak the feel of a Technicolor fever dream. The showing is especially impressive in late June, when the slopes are crowded with the pink blooms of mountain shooting star, the white petals of marsh marigold, and the blue buds of Jacob's ladder. A series of open meadows offers plenty of photo-op stops, but nothing outdoes the summit. At 6,500 feet, Lookout boasts 360-degree views of Oregon and Washington's complete catalog of volcanoes, and Diamond Peak to boot, all flecked with flowers. Now that's what we call "in living color." —BMB

UCAN to fix past tax filing
Bonuses will be disclosed, dollar figures adjusted
The new executive director of the Utility Consumers' Action Network plans to refile the nonprofit's 2009 tax return to correct a series of errors and omissions discovered by independent accountants.
A draft of the document shows that UCAN for the first time will disclose bonuses collected by former Executive Director Michael Shames, who was forced out last year amid accusations of maintaining secret bank accounts and not disclosing the added pay to board members.
The high-profile nonprofit group was an advocate for ratepayers, battling utilities, phone companies and even the city water department. Shames left after a federal grand jury began a wide-ranging review of the agency's business practices.
The revised federal tax return, which is expected to be submitted within weeks, also lowers the amount of revenue the agency received during the year ending June 30, 2010, from $3 million to just over $1.6 million.
The revised tax return also boosts reported grants and donations from $8,732 to more than $135,000 and lowers investment returns from more than $46,000 to about $22,500.
Executive Director Donald Kelly said he was not sure if or when he would seek to amend earlier UCAN tax records, which also contain various errors and omissions.
"Right now I'm focusing on getting our current audit done," he said.
At the UCAN board meeting this coming Tuesday, Kelly said, he will propose doing away with the bonus plan altogether.
Under federal law, nonprofits are not required to pay taxes on annual revenue. As a trade-off, the tax returns are open to the public so donors and others can see where charities spend their money.
The federal probe was sparked in 2011 by employees who claimed they had discovered secret bank accounts and believed that Shames collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonuses without disclosing them to the board or the IRS.
The employees have also raised questions about consumer complaints that turned into class-action lawsuits, generating huge legal fees and settlements. Several UCAN employees and directors said they were not told about the lawsuits, some of which resulted in significant monetary awards to the nonprofit.
Shames, who cofounded the consumer advocacy group almost three decades ago and was its leader until last spring, has repeatedly denied doing anything improper. He has said all of the allegations against him were investigated and found to be without merit.
Earlier this year, Shames filed suit against UCAN, staff attorney David Peffer and Peffer's lawyer, Michael Aguirre. The complaint accuses the defendants of disparaging Shames' reputation.
"Most all of the matters you raise are going to be fully addressed in the legal complaint that I've filed against UCAN, Mike Aguirre and David Peffer in San Diego Superior Court," Shames wrote in an email. "I believe it to be unethical to litigate these matters in the media."
As to the tax filings that UCAN is having to revise, Shames said the group's accountant was responsible for the errors. He said he supports revising the 2009 return "given obvious deficiencies in (the) original."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dragonfriend from Dream socks indeed I have arthritis in my feet, one of the joys of age and wisdom. I finally found a pair of slip on leather shoes I can wear that look ,well, not too old lady. So now I have a pair of nice shoes but I want to wear them but not be consigned to panty hose all day. I would not dream of wearing my shoes sockless, UGH! These socks are quality and a dream come true. They fit so well and are comfortable. Those footie things one buys from a not to be named major company never stay on and are very uncomfortable. These are heaven. At last I can wear my shoes. Now I just need to get brave enough to wear some of those bright knee and over the knee socks I see on your site!! Thank you so much for quality and great service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ENRG from Game Changer I'm a dancer with hyperhidrosis, and have never been able to dance barefooted. A new company I am dancing with requested we dance without shoes or socks, and it sent me into a panic. I started looking for a 5 toe sock that would give the illusion of being barefooted, with the absorbancy and protection of a sock. A friend pointed me to Sock Dreams, and I found these!! I've danced in them a few times now, and they are PERFECT!! They give me confidence, absorb the sweat, and keep my feet from turning to ice. The best part: my director didn't even notice I was wearing them. I am buying more for sure! Thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Editrix from Finally... Footies that Work! Over the years, I have experimented with all kinds of footie products and never found any that did not end up bunched up in the front of my shoes smothering my toes. Why did it take so long for someone to think of these? The toes keep them from slipping around your feet, and even when they slide down on my heels, they don't end up bunching inside my shoes. I can discreetly tug the back up without having to remove my shoes and wrestle with sweaty footies. Light, comfy, easy to wash in the sink. Fantastic!

Rated 5 out of 5 by classylady from Just right I need to wear toe separators for the next few months in order to correct a misalignment caused by too many years of wearing dress shoes with somewhat pointy toes. That means wearing 5-toe socks under them, but most of the ones out there are heavy athletic socks. These 5-toe foot covers from SockDreams are perfect for summer -- not too hot, and they look fine inside flats and even sandals. Definitely recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jo7 from These socks are great for me! These socks worked out great for me. I wear them with my vibram entradas and they are very comfortable. I was especially pleased to find the elastic band around the socks wasn't too tight but still stayed on my foot. I liked them so much I bought six pairs. I wear them to work as a massage therapist and will continue once I become a nurse. I'm tempted to buy more in case they become discontinued...

Rated 5 out of 5 by UberWench from Minimalist Shoes Meet Minimalist Socks! I bought these because I am trying to extend the length of time that I can wear my Vibram 5 Fingers this fall. These are super comfy and stretchy and a great fit, but were a bit too thick to wear inside my toe shoes. Guess I need to go a size up in my shoes if I want to wear them with socks! Still love them, though!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Freckledsmile from One size doesn't fit all I like these, don't get me wrong, but the second they go in a shoe that fits, they're bulking up against the back of your heel. The good news is they stay put even with that issue, but it's still weird having all that extra sock. I use these mostly for around the house in my slippers, which they work well for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by alissa from REAL no-show socks I got a new pair of Topo athletic shoes with a split toe (tabbi style), then got home and realized that I'd need new socks to go with them. I looked on the topo website, where they do indeed sell split-toe socks, but they went well up to the ankle. So I looked further and found these toe socks. To my delight, they are truly no-show--completely invisible! Also, they're light and pleasant to wear.

Would these socks work with Vibram 5 Fingers? If not, do you have a sock you would recommend for the Vibrams?
Though they may work with your Vibrams, probably the best bet for a sock to pair with barefoot shoes is to pair a style designed to be a sports liner sock (http://www.sockdreams.com/search/category:Sport+Socks:and/query:liner), like Injinji's Liner Crew (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/brand/injinji/performance-liner-crew-toe-sock) or their Lightweight Running No Show (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/brand/injinji/performance-liner-no-show-toe-sock). There is also a sport-designed footie sock if you prefer the low-profile "sockless" look (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/sport-footie-toe-sock).

Hello, any idea when you are getting the Basic Five Toes in Black and Grey again. You have the best selection on the internet, seriously... Thank you for your service
It looks like they're backordered with the supplier, so I'm afraid it really depends on when they get to making more. Given that we're going back into the warmer months (at least those of us here in the northern hemisphere) I suspect that shorter styles like these will be getting a higher priority with the manufacturers, so maybe soon. Toes and fingers crossed!

One size? What is the maximum size that will COMFORTABLY fit? I wear American size 91/2 and usually find one size does not really mean me.
US women's shoe sizes 6-10 and men's 5-8 -- you can find shoe sizing in the sizing tips section of every product page!
Date published: 2015-05-07
You guys are always so amazing about sharing how different items fit on different bodies (which helps ensure happy customers!). I love your selection, and my friends always know that a Sock Dreams gift certificate never goes amiss as a gift in this household!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Health officials say the number of people sickened by a deadly meningitis outbreak has now reached 105 cases.
The number of deaths rose by one to eight, with another fatality in Tennessee.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated the count on Monday. The list of nine states with reported cases stayed the same. Tennessee, Michigan, Virginia, Indiana, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina and Ohio previously reported cases.
Officials have tied the fungal meningitis outbreak to steroid shots for back pain. The steroid was made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts.
The company has recalled the steroid which was sent to clinics in 23 states. The government last week urged doctors not to use any of the company's products.

It's pretty telling that nobody in the Kardashian clan will deny BRUCE JENNER is becoming a chick. And in a new interview, KIM KARDASHIAN keeps her words just as ambiguous as her stepfather's gender. She says, quote, "I will say that I think Bruce should tell his story his way . . . I think he'll share whenever the time is right. I think Bruce is very happy, the happiest I've ever seen him . . . He's our dad so we support him no matter what."
JOAN RIVERS' daughter MELISSA has filed a lawsuit against Yorkville Endoscopy over the death of her mother. She's also suing Joan's personal doctor, who was present and performed an unauthorized procedure. Melissa could walk away from this with MILLIONS. She says, quote, "Not only did my mother deserve better, every patient deserves better."
In an interview yesterday, Patriots quarterback TOM BRADY admitted that he was a little sad when everyone accused him of cheating. He said, quote, "I personalized a lot of things, and thought this was all about me, and my feelings got hurt. And then I moved past it, because it's not serving me."

Since we have cats of our own, we understand how difficult it is to leave your pet at home while you are traveling. We operate a pet-friendly inn, and are happy to welcome your canine companion.
During your stay, a visiting pet has unrestricted access to the inn's common areas. During meal times, your canine companion may also join you in the dining room, as long as we are not too busy - ask upon arrival. The only "off-limits" areas for your pet are the commercial kitchen, other guests' rooms & the innkeepers' quarters.
To avoid potential pet-to-pet confrontations, we only allow one guest with a pet at any given time. With pet availability limited to one room, our approval MUST be obtained in advance, preferably at the time of booking. There is normally high demand for our pet room, so plan early to ensure availability!
Since we have two cats on-site, we unfortunately cannot accept visiting felines.

About This Place
|Other Details
Ol' Blue Eyes claimed one could, "lose the blues in Chicago," but with all due respect, Mr. Sinatra, Chicago tourists may not want to lose them at all. From powder to navy, and in all their musical implications, the blues are the key to a great time in the "Second City."
Ride the rails of Chicago's "El" (short for "elevated" train) on the blue line straight downtown to start the day off right at Lou Mitchell's. Serving the best breakfast in town since 1923, Mitchell's Belgian malted waffles and fluffy jumbo omelets get travelers fueled up to take on nearby Michigan Avenue, home to some of the city's best shops and sights.
Along the avenue, noteworthy museums abound. Don't miss a stop by the Art Institute of Chicago, which offers a noteworthy collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art. Or, take to higher ground for a view of not only downtown, but up to four states, from the John Hancock Observatory.
Just outside the Art Institute, Chicago visitors can play in the magnificent Millennium Park. A favorite with the city's youngest residents, the Crown Fountain is also popular with adults. Many opt to take in summer blues concerts at Jay Pritzker Pavilion, or reflect on the gorgeous skyline with the help of the park's centerpiece, Cloud Gate.
The architecturally minded visitor will readily notice the diamond-shaped Smurfit-Stone Building and Willis Tower, but downtown is also home to the Aqua Building. Fronted with irregularly shaped concrete balconies, this daring structure was designed to emulate rippling water.
Keeping with the aquamarine state of mind, Chi-town visitors can explore sea life at the John G. Shedd Aquarium, one of the largest indoor aquariums in the world. With interactive exhibits and a kid-sized submarine, the aquarium is a favorite destination for young travelers. The Wild Reef exhibit provides a unique look into the underwater world of over 500 species including 25 sharks, minus that pesky oxygen tank and shark repellent.
Nearby, the Chicago Children's Museum, located on Navy Pier, offers families a chance to play together in the Inventing Lab, or dig for fossils at the Dinosaur Expedition. Couples who make their way to the end of the Pier get a romantic eyeful of indigo blue Lake Michigan and a magnificent view of the cityscape. On the journey back up the Pier, stop at Crystal Gardens for a ride on a replica of Ferris's original wheel, which debuted at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
Also along the blue line is the city's oldest and largest non-profit theater, the Goodman Theatre. Productions have featured many an Academy Award winner and nominee, Pulitzer Prize winners and finalists, and playwrights such as Tennessee Williams. Chicago tourists will find the Goodman stages in a modern auditorium downtown, in the "Loop."
Tourists willing to add a smidgen of yellow to their palettes are well rewarded when venturing to Uptown's Green Mill. Once a speakeasy frequented by the likes of "Hustlertown's" finest, Al Capone, the Green Mill has the skinny on world-class jazz.
For true-blue travelers, however, there is no better place to experience Chicago's famous blues scene than the aptly named B.L.U.E.S. bar. Frankly, Frank, as far as blues lovers go, it's still their kind of town.

Cockermouth woman runs Race for Life after father's death
Last updated at 08:24, Friday, 04 May 2012
Cockermouth woman Sarah Edgar's decision to take part in this summer's Race for Life has added poignancy following the death of her father.
Sarah, 20, of Windmill Lane, had already signed up to take part in the fund-raising event for Cancer Research UK at Cartmel racecourse.
She will now run in memory of Joseph, 61, who died of throat cancer on April 10.
Sarah said: "I wanted to do it before my dad died to raise awareness but now that he has passed away I want to do it even more.
"It will be a fitting tribute and a way of saying thank you for all the help he got from Hospice at Home, district nurses and the local doctors."
Sarah will take part in the 5k women-only race on July 1 with friend Danielle Murdy, 22, of The Ghyll, Maryport, and hopes to raise £300.
Sarah returned to work as a support worker at West House in Wigton last week after taking three weeks off following her father's death.
She said: "My dad was very outgoing and would do anything for our family. It was very hard to see him go through it."

Touted upon its release as the finale of the Rocky saga, this fifth entry in the long-running series of sports dramas reunites star Sylvester Stallone with John G. Avildsen, director of the Oscar-winning original. Stallone is Rocky Balboa, suffering from career-ending brain damage as a result of his punishing bout with Ivan Drago at the finale of the previous film. Upon their return to Philadelphia, Rocky and his wife, Adrian (Talia Shire), discover they are broke, their fortune squandered by an incompetent accountant. Forced to move back to their working-class neighborhood, Rocky finds that his only asset is the run-down gym willed to him by Mickey (Burgess Meredith, who appears in new flashback sequences). Resisting big money offered to him by Don King-like boxing promoter George Washington Duke (Richard Gant), Rocky becomes a trainer and finds a talented comer in Tommy Gunn (real-life boxer Tommy Morrison, nephew of John Wayne). Rocky's son (played by Stallone's real-life son Sage Stallone) feels neglected by his father, who lavishes attention on his protégé, but Tommy ultimately turns his back on his mentor to sign a more lucrative deal with Duke, leading to a street-fight showdown.~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
