PLANNED FOR LIBERAL CLUB Folk Song of India Will be Sung by Ratan Devi on October 4 Lectures on foreign affairs, conditions in Russia, labor education, music, and the theatre, are included in the plans of the Liberal Club* for the coming year. The policy of last year of having speakers .on a wide variety of subjects, not. merely ( oimmkal and political, will be con- tinued. Madame Ratan Devi will be the first speaker of the season, coming on Wednesday. October 14. in Taylor Hall. She will give a short talk on East Indian music and then will sing Indian folk- songs, wearing native costume. Madame Devi is by birth an English woman, who lived for years in India as the wife of a scholar. Indian by birth. She has given many recitals in the United States and England, and has won high praise not only from musicians, such as I'ablo Casals, the greatest living 'cellist, but also from poets, notably W. B. Yeats and Rabindranath Tagore. Definite engagements for lecture dates throughout the year are not all assured; but the Liberal Club is now trying to make arrangements with Anna Louise Strong, the foremost American worker in Russia today; A. J. Muste, president of the Brookwood Trade Union College; Dr. Rowc, authority on the Pan-Amerir can situation; Carl Sandburg, William Beebc, famous naturalist and author, and other lecturers. ? Tentative plans are also being made, if time and circumstances permit, for more informal talks than the regular lectures, with discussion perhaps by small groups. People of interesting experience, such as holding a job in a Jactory of managing a small magazine, may be in- duced to talk over after-dinner coffee. Posters announcing lectures will be distributed as usual; and membership cards will be placed on doors. ATMOSPHERE OF FRIENDLINESS CHARACTERIZES SUMMER SCHOOL JUNIORS SELECT FRESH- MAN CLASS COMMITTEE Nancy Carr. of the Shipley School, and Alexandra Dalziel, of the Brearley School, have been chosen as members of the Class Committee of 1929 by 192T. Miss Carr was President of the Athletic Association and head of several Clubs at Shipley, while Miss Dalziel was President of the* Athletic Association last year at the Brearley and has been Presi- dent of her class there for the last two years. Varied Experiences and Trades of Students Make Range of Opinions {Specially contributed by K. Simonds, 'X"i) Undergraduates who leave the halls of Br^mMawr in June to return to them in OctobeV can scarcely picture to them- selves the life that goes on here* through two of the summer months. And, how should they, after all? For jt is a world so different in atmosphere that the very campus looks unfamiliar to trie eyes of a visiting undergraduate. You have of course the superficial and obvious differences. Pembroke West, Rockefeller and Radnor closed, campus becomes a tiny circle centering oit Den- bigh green. There girls in middies and bloomers lie in the sunshine and talk, unhurried, intent on the discussion, In- stead , of formal Senior singing in the evening, people gather in little knots about Senior Row to sing, and their voice; are melancholy and passionate in the darkness. Classes in Taylor Hall arc not dictation, but forums, in which the students have at least as much to give as the professor; or. rather, in which the professor acts as chairman for the dis- cussion to which each student contributes her personal experience. No halo en- shrouds Senior Steps, nor does Juno elevate her classic nose at the sight of knickers and bare knees in her domain. I think" that freedom is the keynote of the summer school. There are scarcely any restrictions, intellectual, social, or physical. The students are all free with the independence of people who earn their own living and rely on their own power to supply their needs. This one condition alone would make a striking difference between the summer and win- ter, schools. And then, anyone who has a theory may expound it, and, if she speaks intelligently, be sure of an intelli- gent and interested audience.

For the veterans among us, i. e., ranging down througji the sophomores, a long holiday is over, spent in a hundred different combinations of toil and tranquillity, each day a law to itself, and we arc ready to begin again on the closed season when our days are pretty well set for us and our work and its results are dependent on the work and the morale of others beside ourselves. All summer we have spun separate!} Now we bring our thread and weave it together into a fabric, the web of the Bryn Mawr College year. At the end of the year it seemed cer- tain that two pieces of business were to keep the President within reach of the college this summer, the perplexities connected. with the admissions to the freshman class, and the building of Good- hart Hall. A nearby summer was also to make possible a first-hand impression of the Summer School during its first and second weeks and again toward the close of the session. A farmhouse in an Adirondack valley allowed a midsummer visit to Bryn Mawr, and in the intervals of letter-writing and telegraphing became instantly an abode of holiday peace. The final outcome of the admissions situation you see scattered among you. In late July when the returns from the Board examinations came in. completing the returns from the Bryn Mawr exami- nations, we found out of every three who had passed the examinations either clear or with three or less ^points of condi- tion we could admit only two. A few rooms were given up in August by mem- bers of the older classes or students formally admitted so that it has proved finally possible to take eighty-nine into residence and to admit as non-residents nineteen more, a total of one hundred and eight as compared with one hundred and eighteen in 1924 and one hundred and twenty-nine in 1923. The problem of selection was exceedingly difficult for the Committee on Admissions. That com- mittee can at least say that it made an honest attempt to choose individuals and groups who can use to the greatest ad- vantage what the college as an institu- tion has to offer, that is. those girls who are most likely to find their road to self- development lies through the land of academic routine, of hard, persistent and successful mental effort in classrooms, libraries, and laboratories. Bryn Mawr has always found among her belter stu- dents many of those who carried on her student activities most ably. If intellec- tual promise continues to be the first requisite for admission to this college "all-around girls,"' "good citizens." girls with executive, athletic or artistic gifts will he as surely included in the student body as though they were chosen delib- erately because of those general school recommendations. \'-ain. everyone knows that entrance CONTINUED ON PAl.� 3 �^�fl

If you're just starting to look for a home, you may be a little confused by the paperwork involved with getting a mortgage. Wouldn't it be great if someone could give you a line-by-line explanation of the forms you'll be dealing with during the home-buying process?
We thought so too. That's why we've created annotated versions of some common mortgage documents. Specifically, we've marked up the Good Faith Estimate and HUD-1, as well as a standard loan application.
We've collected these documents here. Just pick the document you want to review and click the yellow info-points to bring up more information about every item.
These interactive loan documents are just a small part of our online Home Buying Guide. We're adding several new sections to the guide in the next couple of weeks; we'll let you know when it all goes live.

Love them. Love the website.
These are just fun and I always get compliments when I wear them. Great colors. Because the prices are always good, I'm excited when I see something that isn't black, silver, or gold!
I am quite happy with my Rock Candy glasses. I am able to see over the top so things in the distance are not blurry...I've been complimented a number of times and always tell them of your website. They are light weight and comfortable to wear. The red frame looks good with my silver hair. Thanks, Debby! p.s. they arrived quickly.
Although the lime green frame is eye catching.. the lenes are a cheap plastic and the frames are flimsy for the $20.00 price tag... What I will RAVE about is the exceptional customer service I received when I called to ask a question about returning my order. The customer service agent was helpful, empathic and sent me a return postage label for my trouble.. I then asked her about another pair I liked and she did an outstanding job describing the glasses! I was thrilled and was albe to place my order and she took care of everything! My friends think I am crazy to spend more money on Great Frames!! I think there crazy to shop at the drugstore and look like old ladies! Thank you Debspecs!

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum to Launch Young Writers' Competition in Area Schools
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is launching a Young Writers' Competition among students from area schools to encourage creative thinking and writing and introduce mid-to-late 19th century history and the arts to tomorrow's museum audiences.
Steve Berry, New York Times best selling author (#1 internationally) and his wife Elizabeth are the creators of the History Matters foundation dedicated to historic preservation. Berry will work with LMMM's educators and judge the finalists in a contest that will culminate in the awards presentation at the Museum's Opening Night Gala on October 18, 2014, with cash and other prizes.
"This is a great way to introduce students to this magnificent National Historic Landmark," said Patsy Brescia, LMMM Chairman of the Board of Trustees. "A writing competition is a creative and educational way for students to explore the Museum's great history and architecture, while honing their writing skills."
LMMM Educators dressed in period costume will meet with teachers and students in the classrooms, and introduce the Mansion in a PowerPoint presentation followed by a visit to the museum, where students can draw ideas and inspiration for their story.
Trustee Haroldo Williams, chair of the Education Committee said, "I am a firm believer that this kind of experiential learning can be a great way to understand history and appreciate the arts in a deeper and more meaningful way."
Competition requirements include a mystery story with the Mansion as the backdrop, taking place between 1868 and 1900, which needs to be between 500-800 words for third grade students and 2,500 words or less for eighth graders. The Museum will also explore the possibility of adapting the award winning stories into a performance feature at the museum in the near future.
"I am truly grateful to Steve Berry for lending his enormous talent to help us launch the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum's first writing competition in our schools," said Executive Director Susan Gilgore. "I hope this is the beginning of a new and exciting educational program for students at the Mansion." For more information on the competition and the Education Program please visit our website at www.lockwoodmathewsmansion.com or call Joy Romeo, LMMM Volunteer Coordinator at (203) 838-9799, ext. 119 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Limited availability based on a first come, first serve basis.
The Museum's 2014 cultural and educational programs are made possible in part by generous funding from LMMM's Founding Patrons: The Estate of Cynthia Clark Brown; The Museum's Distinguished Benefactors: Klaff's, The Xerox Foundation, and The Maurice Goodman Foundation; LMMM Sustainers: Spinnaker Real Estate Partners. Gala and Young Writer's Competition Sponsors: M.F. DiScala & Co. The Museum's Education Program is made possible in part by the Fairfield County Community Foundation.
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is a National Historic Landmark. For More information on schedules and programs please visit www.lockwoodmathewsmansion.com, email email@example.com, or call (203) 838-9799.
Interpreting Old Bones: Art and Science Give New Meaning to Remains Found on New Haven Green
The New Haven Museum offers an exhibition pairing powerful interpretive art created by seven well-known Connecticut artists with scientific analysis by noted bioarchaeologists in "Nothing is Set in Stone: The Lincoln Oak and the New Haven Green," an informative and revelatory tribute to the historic Lincoln Oak on the New Haven Green. In October 2012, winds from Hurricane Sandy toppled the mighty oak—planted in 1909 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth—revealing human skeletal remains in the tree's exposed roots and creating an enigmatic story that captured the imagination of the entire country. The exhibition runs through November 2, 2014.
For the artistic portion of "Nothing is Set in Stone: The Lincoln Oak and the New Haven Green," area artists were invited to use branches, limbs, or pieces of the trunk of the Lincoln Oak to interpret the history of the tree and the discovery of the skeletal remains beneath it. The exhibit includes two works by noted Hamden sculptor, Susan Clinard, who says of her Lincoln Oak sculpture, Of the Same Branch; Portraits of the Civil War, 2014:
The other artists included in the exhibition are Lani Asuncion, Erich Davis, Michael Quirk, Jeff Slomba, Rachael A. Vaters-Carr and Alison Walsh. The collected works include mixed-media sculpture and video.
The scientific component of the exhibition consists of the results of the on-going archaeological analysis of human remains recovered from the site. Photo panels describe the remains—including bones, teeth, hair and tissue—and how they were used to determine the gender and approximate ages of those whose remains were unearthed in October, 2012, and offer hypotheses on health and disease issues of the interred. The contents of two time capsules found at the site of the fallen Lincoln Oak are also on display. The research shared in the "Nothing is Set in Stone" exhibition was conducted by G. P Aronsen, K. A. Williamson, and Y. Tonoike (Yale University); N. I. Bellantoni (UConn); G. Conlogue & N. Pelletier (Quinnipiac University); J. Krigbaum (U. Florida); and L. Fehren-Schmitz (UCSC). Historical research was provided by J. Schiff (Yale University) J. Bischoff-Wurstle, and J. Campbell (New Haven Museum).
"It's exciting to innovate new ways of interpreting New Haven history," says New Haven Museum Director of Photo Archives Jason Bischoff-Wurstle, who coordinated the exhibition. "Thanks to the vision of those who contributed, this exhibition uses unconventional elements to document one of the city's most colorful historic chapters."
The New Haven Green was used as a burying ground throughout Colonial times and until 1812. The Lincoln Oak was planted in 1909 by local members of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) —an organization of Civil War veterans--in honor of President Abraham Lincoln. In 2012, the uprooted tree revealed several surprises including two time capsules buried in 1909 by members of the GAR, and the remains of several 18th-century residents of New Haven.
"One hundred fifty years later, President Lincoln and the Civil War continue to fascinate us," says New Haven Museum Executive Director Margaret Anne Tockarshewsky. "We expect that the public may have a strong response to both the artists' interpretations and the findings of the scientists who continue to examine the remains found beneath the Lincoln Oak."
The New Haven Museum was gifted with the contents of the time capsules uprooted by the Lincoln Oak by The Committee of the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands of New Haven, and a sampling of the artifacts is on display at the Museum.
The research was supported by The Committee of the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands in New Haven; Yale University, Department of Anthropology; and Connecticut State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology Center, University of Connecticut.
"Nothing is Set in Stone" follows a panel discussion at the New Haven Museum on October 31, 2013, which revealed the initial findings of the team of scientists charged with investigating the human remains and time capsules discovered on the Green. The panel is expected to reconvene and present concluding details of the team's research in late October, 2014, coinciding with the two-year anniversary of the toppling of the Lincoln Oak.

Detailed Description:
The multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is expressed in the blood-brain barrier where it limits entry of substrate drugs into the central nervous system. Raltegravir (MK-0158), a new HIV-1 integrase inhibitor and potentially major addition to the therapeutic armamentarium against HIV, is a substrate for P-gp. Studies are warranted to elucidate the relevance of P-gp transport for raltegravir in the central nervous system.

"Climate Crises in Human History" Offers Perspective on a Hot Topic
Afternoon Program Runs Saturday, November 19, 3:00 - 5:00 pm at the Penn Museum
As scientists and other scholars study rapid climate changes and climate crises affecting different parts of the world today, relatively little discussion is being focused on climate crises faced by humans in the past. The ancient Maya, the Saharan ancestors of the ancient Egyptians, ancient Romans and medieval Europeans are among many cultures who have faced dramatic climate change, adapting or not adapting to changing conditions throughout the millennia. Can we learn from their strategies—exploring what proved successful, and what did not—as we face our own climate crisis in the 21st century?

Standoff ends peacefully
Friday, April 26, 2013
MIDDLETON — Police responded to Buttermilk Lane early Thursday morning for a report of an armed suicidal male. Two police units and their K9 Raven arrived on the scene to find a 47-year-old male with an unholstered small caliber handgun. After refusing to put his gun down, the local police called for backup from the Farmington, New Durham and Milton Police Departments. N.H. State Police responded with a crisis negotiator. The male suspect surrendered peacefully just as mutual aid units were blocking off the neighborhood. He was then transported by Middleton Police to Frisbie Memorial Hospital for a mental health evaluation. |

I've always wanted to go to Ibiza and this photo just serves as inspiration for me to save up and get out there. I absolutely love my house and trance music so the opportunity to see top DJs like Paul Van Dyk perform in person would be a dream.
Welcome to Occasion Photography!
This is the first post of many beautiful photographs I take as I go about my life whether taken here in England or on my travels to far flung lands.
This picture above was taken between Da Nang and Hue on the Hai Van Pass. It was a really fun drive and near the top was this old tower with the beautiful Da Nang beach visible through the archway.
Hope you like it

Time-Travel Tuesday
For just over a week now, I've been posting a retro TV intro/theme song video on twitter every day, because... nostalgia. Seriously who doesn't love a good, hard slap in the face of the good ol' days, looking back and remembering the sweet theme songs from the 80s and 90s? I totally just sounded like a TIME-LIFE infomercial right there. So I figured, why not do a weekly (or bi-weekly) (or whenever I feel like it) 'Time-Travel Tuesday', where I post a collection of all the theme songs I've posted on Twitter throughout the week. Sounds like a plan, right? Right! LET'S DO THIS!

My first experience with the new Rebel
I have to say I was quite excited, and a bit apprehensive about trying the new Rebel, as the wind at Famara was howling, doing its weird gusty thing, ranging between maybe 12 and 30 knots and I only had a 7m with me.
There was one other kiter out and that was a local on a 5m looking like he had plenty of power in the gusts! As I've been riding the Neo's and Evo's so much recently, I'd almost forgotten how well the Rebel handles these conditions, but was wondering about what sort of a ride it was going to give me!!
To add to my nerves, I'd had too much strong spanish coffee, the tide was up to the stones, and there was no one around to launch me, apart from a naked jolly walker who was hanging around looking like he wanted to help!!
All I can say is thank goodness for the 5th line, especially as the wind was cross onshore, so there was no space for error if i messed up the self launch, or if one of the spooky Famara gusts hit!
Much to my surprise, I had LOADS of fun, and was amazed at how well the Rebel handled the explosive gusts, and de- powered enough so i didn't get flung off the board as i hit the lip and bottom turned!
I have to admit I thought the new 'Legendary' Rebel written on the 2013 kites was a bit cheesy, but I have to say its true! The 2013 Rebel is an amazing kite and can handle whatever the wind and waves throw at you!
So for my next trip to Mauritius for the KSP competition, and the Wave riding & Yoga retreat I'm running, I'll be taking a quiver of Rebels!
See you in the sea!

I disagree with this wholeheartedly. Maybe the whole USA Cycling thing is a pain, but how frickin' hard is it to pdf the spreadsheet and put in on your web site?? As a host of cycling and sailing events (as well as a day job and a family job) over the years, I have always made sure that results are available at the end of the day. It's just not that hard.

Website: www.lacasaquecanta.com
La Casa Que Canta (The House That Sings) is crawling with lovebirds. There's good reason: The 25 cliffside suites have views of Zihuatanejo Bay and balconies that are perfect for sunset-watching, private plunge pools, and patios with white hammocks and cushioned loungers that invite snuggling. Each suite also has a pink marble bathroom, a complimentary minibar, and lots of folky-chic Mexican art. Pathways lead down the rocky cliff-side to an infinity pool, saltwater pool, spa, and gym—as well as to Playa la Ropa. Here sit two separate, superposh beachside villas, El Murmullo and El Ensueño, which come with private butlers, concierges, and chambermaids (Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and Karl Lagerfeld have been among the occupants). In order to keep the general honeymoon-ness of the place intact, no children under 16 are allowed.

With its open, distinctly Asian, architectural style (naturally-finished hardwoods, and reflecting pools all around), and half of its staff Filipino, you could easily forget this resort was in the Caribbean. For the actively inclined, there are tennis courts, diving, and a few boats you can slide off the sand, although this is essentially a place for doing little but hiding from the world for a time, and being looked after by people who, you can tell, were not taught to smile, but were born knowing how to do it. The physical aspect of the resort takes a bit of getting used to. None of the 40 air-conditioned guest pavilions, each with three glass walls that all but the most enthusiastic exhibitionists will want to pull the blinds on before making use of their free-standing bathtub, sit directly on the beach. Some are set back from the jagged coral ironshore along short paths that often lead to hidden, one-couple-sized patches of sand, and some, as the Aman literature so positively describes it, are "nestled in the vegetation". This being the tropics, that of course means you should arm yourself with insect repellent, but it's only really an issue June through October.

The Tides Zihuatanejo launched Mexico's beach-chic movement in 1978, when it was known as the Villa del Sol. The hotel was made over in 2007 by hip-arbiters the Viceroy Hotel Group (of Viceroy Palm Springs and Avalon Beverly Hills fame), which kept some of the spirit with original folk art but modernized the design with white-on-white linens and upholstery and couples-size infinity pools on the suite terraces. Streams trickle beneath bridges and beside bamboo groves between the adobe-inspired buildings that house the resort's 70 guest rooms; softly lit trails lead to the beachfront restaurant and La Cava, a wine-cellar dining room. The hotel is located on Playa la Ropa, Zihuatanejo's most popular stretch of sand, but a roped-off lounging area provides privacy and beach-butler pampering; mayordomos care for any other needs and preferences. The small spa features a yoga wellness program and a yoga pavilion on the beach.—Maribeth Mellin

Whale Watching in Turks + Caicos, Turks & Caicos
You'll witness one of the best shows in the Turks & Caicos January through March, with the annual migration of humpback whales. Most sightings of these beasts, which can grow to lengths of 50 foot, are off Salt Cay, although whale-watching boats sail out of Grand Turk and South Caicos, too. Usually, you need to get into the water to hear the eerie, almost ghost-like singing, but to see the jumping sometimes requires nothing more than a few minute's ride offshore, or looking up from lunch at Salt Cay's Green Flash Café. In season, Salt Cay Divers offers daily whale watching trips for $95 per person or $75 for divers already taking part in one of their dive packages (649-946-6906; www.saltcaydivers.tc).
The World's Best Places for Sin
This is the year. The year that you're finally going to drink less, eat better, quit smoking, get organized, save money, get in shape, and spend more time with the kids. But let's not be hasty. Before you commit to kicking your bad habits, why not go all out and indulge your vices with one incredible last hurrah? From an all-you-can-smoke cigar odyssey in Nicaragua to a booze crawl through Oregon to a spare-no-expense, country-hopping trip of a lifetime, here are seven reasons to go buck wild before you buckle down.

Cruises for People Who Hate Cruising
Don't consider yourself a cruise person? Think again. There's far more to the cruise industry these days than cheesy ports of call and Vegas-meets-megamall design. What if you could enjoy the benefits of a cruise—all-inclusive pricing, varied itineraries, knowledgeable guides—along with the freedom that comes with your own landlubber adventures? We've rooted out the ships that will tempt even the most hardened cruise carper, from an eco-friendly boat that floats amid hippos to hands-on Antarctic adventures, forward-thinking design on the Amazon, and cruises for foodies with Jacques Pépin on board. It's time to hit the high seas.

Canyoning + Cascading, Dominican Republic
The Cordillera Septentrional mountain range in northern DR is a mecca for the adventurous (um, crazy?) folks who dig the sport of canyoning—which involves hiking up, then rappelling down steep cliffs and through rushing waterfalls up to 100 feet high. Iguana Mama runs half-day and full-day canyoning trips from Cabarete of varying degrees of difficulty (if you're a scaredy-cat, avoid the excursion known as "Big Bastard"). The outfit also takes groups cascading—a slightly less arduous pastime, where participants swim in rivers and through a series of small waterfalls, and jump into freshwater pools (809-571-0908; www.iguanamama.com).

Beaches of the Dominican Republic
There are literally hundreds of beaches to choose from in the Dominican Republic, but each area has its own character. Beaches on the south-central coast, like Boca Chica, have relatively calm water, so they're good for families and snorkelers. Boca's proximity to Santo Domingo makes it convenient for those visiting the capital, but the beach is crowded with city dwellers, vendors, and plastic chairs during the weekends. On weekdays, you have the best chance to enjoy the powdery sand and the reef-protected lagoon (the Caribbean's largest) in peace.
Northern beaches are the windiest, and are best for kiteboarding and windsurfing—though the islets around the Samaná Peninsula, such as Cayo Levantado, are a tranquil exception. Levantado has fluffy sand and translucent, placid waters, and between January and March, there's whale watching. Colonial Tour & Travel runs day trips that include transport to and from Samaná hotels, visits to two different beaches, and lunch (809-688-5285; www.colonialtours.com.do). Punta Cana, where 50 percent of travelers to the DR end up, is, thankfully, large enough to absorb the masses with a near endless stretch of white sand on the far east coast.
On the northwest part of the island, Playa Cofresi attracts serious tanners with its perfect sun exposure, and bodysurfers and boogie-boarders with its excellent waves. Cayo Arena (also known as Cayo Paraiso) is a small island off the northern coastal fishing village of Punta Rucia, and makes a good day trip from Puerto Plata. The islet has a long spit of white sand, surrounded by shallow water and 250 coral reefs—fabulous for snorkeling. Cayo Arena Tours, based in Punta Rucia, offers daily trips (809-224-4793).

Island Hopping in the British Virgin Islands
There's no other place in the Caribbean where traveling between such a diverse collection of islands is not only possible, but easy and fun. There are several ferry services that run between the populated islands (www.bviports.org), puddle jumpers fly to Anegada and Virgin Gorda (Air Sunshine, Fly BVI, Ltd.), and the most popular day trips include stops at nearby uninhabited isles. Going to the BVI and seeing only a one island would be like going to the Louvre and ignoring all but the Mona Lisa. Below are our favorite lesser-known islands.
Fallen Jerusalem. This national park southwest of Virgin Gorda has underwater caves and tunnels off the northwest coast for snorkeling and the great North Lee Bay Beach for lazing.
Prickly Pear. A national park in Virgin Gorda's North Sound, this has a hiking trail over cactus-covered hills and epic beaches on the north and east shores. Vixen Point has watersport equipment rentals and a beach bar/restaurant called the Sand Box.
Norman Island. A yachters' favorite just southwest of Peter Island, Norman's most visited spots are its Bight—home to the Willie T. and a good land-based bar/restaurant Pirates Bight—and The Caves, a snorkeling spot said to have been Robert Louis Stevenson's inspiration for Treasure Island. You can swim inside the caves amid shimmering schools of fish.
Dead Chest. Legend has it that this tiny, uninhabited national park next to Peter Island got its name when Blackbeard stranded 15 mutinous sailors here with only a bottle of rum for company. Hence Stevenson's "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest/Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum…" quote from Treasure Island.
Sandy Spit and Sandy Cay. You need a boat, but it's worth it for these two tiny dots that are practically all beach off the east coast of Jost Van Dyke. Sandy Spit is the real-life version of the desert island—water, sand and a sprinklng of palms.
Cooper Island. Home of a quiet little hotel with a good restaurant (some yachties moor here and swim ashore just for the conch fritters), Cooper is a nice place to stop after diving the nearby wrecks.
Anegada. While the rest of the major islands in the BVI are all green-hilled gumdrops created by volcanic action, Anegada is a Bahamian-style isle: flat, low, hot, and almost completely surrounded by white coral-sand beaches. It's also famous for its deep-water lobster, and in season, there's no better BVI afternoon than sitting at one of Anegada's beach bars like Cow Wreck, drinking rum and feasting on fresh lobster.

Beaches of the British Virgin Islands
The BVI's have enough beaches to pick one for every interest and mood. Surfers head to Tortola's Apple Bay to hang ten. Sandy Spit and Sandy Cay off Jost Van Dyke are the place to live out your castaway fantasies. If "yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum" is more your thing, you can bar crawl your way up and down White Bay on Jost Van Dyke or hit up Cane Garden Bay on Tortola. For snorkeling, try The Baths/Devil's Bay on Virgin Gorda, and Loblolly/Flash of Beauty, and Cow Wreck on Anageda. Couples like the secluded sunbathing at Tortola's Smuggler's Cove. And everyone can appreciate the sunsets from Cooper Island Beach on Cooper Island.

Caves of Belize
Belize has an enviable endowment of navigable caves. Some of the best are just outside the capital city of Belmopan, along the aptly named Caves Branch River. Others include the so-called Actun Tunichil Muknal cave (a Mayan reliquary where you'll see pottery, skulls, and crystallized skeletons), and the caves at Jaguar Pawwhere a guided float through the darkness and silence is the inner tubeborne equivalent of taking tranquilizers. But ensure in advance that you're not visiting this last complex on a cruise-ship day, when not only the local caves but also the usually serene rain forest zip lines swarm with furloughed passengers. For more information on caving, go to www.travelbelize.org/cave_index.html.

Website: www.leguanahani.com
St. Barths's only full-service resort is wedged on an isolated peninsula between two beaches, Marigot and Grand Cul de Sac. The fact that the latter—the premiere windsurfing and kiteboarding spot on the island—is reef-protected from the ocean attracts a few families to this glamorous 16-acre retreat. The 68 Easter egg–colored cottages (some with private pools and butlers; all with marble baths stocked with Bulgari and Frédéric Fekkai products), are scattered on a palm-covered bluff. Beach-front units are the most convenient but the least private. The not inconsiderable rates, which start at about $750 in high season, include breakfast and transportation to the airport. The immaculate grounds and lush gardens, which are home to some friendly resort cats, are perfect for a morning power walk before a barefoot lunch at the Beach Bar or poolside at L'Indigo. Open-air Le Bartolomeo restaurant has an island-casual dress code and serves up fine French cuisine for dinner only. A fully equipped gym, two swimming pools, two tennis courts, water sports, and the luxe Clarins Spa make it easy to never leave the property. Updated by Cathay Che

Waimea Canyon, Hawaii
Kauai, Hawaii

A drive through Waimea Canyonnicknamed "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific"is an ideal way to start off the day: Morning offers the best views of the more-than-3,400-foot plunge, and it's also a good idea to avoid the heat of the afternoon. You can drive through and stop along the road to take in the magnificent views, or park your car and hike down any number of trails. Stop by the Kokee Natural History Museum to get a little background on the Kokee area, and pick up a map before you set out on foot (808-335-9975; www.kokee.org/natural-history-museum).

Spa at Four Seasons Manele Bay, Hawaii
Lanai, Hawaii 96763
Tel: 808 565 2088
Website: www.fourseasons.com/manelebay/spa.html
Spa culture is huge in Hawaii—perhaps because there are so many native traditions and botanicals to draw upon—and an expected part of a five-star hotel experience. But until a 10,000-square-foot facility opens at the Lodge at Koele in 2009, the pressure is on this small but decadent 11-room spa, the only one on Lanai. It's (expectedly) tough to snag an appointment in high season for an aromatic Ali'i banana-coconut scrub, a Ki Pola Ko'olu (cooling ti-leaf wrap) with lavender-infused aloe vera gel, a Limu (Hawaiian seaweed) wrap, or a Lomi Lomi massage. (Make your reservation when you book your room.) If they can't squeeze you in, arrange a private after-hours spa party for up to eight people, which includes a 50-minute treatment for each person, followed by pupus served in the relaxation area.

Positano, Italy
Clinging improbably to the near-vertical coast about halfway between Amalfi and Sorrento, Positano is the best-known resort of the Costiera Amalfitana. Achingly picturesque, with its tumble of pastel-hued houses ranged in stepped ranks like spectators in an amphitheater, the town specializes in promenaders' activities—shopping, eating, sipping, boat-hopping, and, especially, people-watching. The gray shingle beach is fine for a quick dip, but most serious sun-worshippers take one of the regular boats to and from a series of smaller coves along the coast. If you're driving, be warned that the whole town has a painfully slow one-way system that can take the best part of an hour to negotiate: Best advice, if you don't have the benefit of a hotel parking lot, is to leave the car at the first space you find (not an easy task in high season) and walk—or hop on one of the regular buses.

Amalfi, Italy
Amalfi, the town that gives the coastline its name, lies about halfway between Sorrento and Salerno. Its name is derived from that of the nymph, Amalfi, loved by Hercules—legend has it that he buried her in the world's most beautiful spot after she died. Though it's entirely given up to tourism today, this was once a proud maritime republic, founded in the ninth century, which rivaled Genoa, Pisa, and Venice in stature and power. The bustling, café-lined port is served by hydrofoils to and from Salerno, Positano, and Capri, while the bus terminus on the quay offers road connections to Salerno, Ravello, Positano, and Sorrento. Buses to the latter two towns also pass by the upper entrance to the Grotta dello Smeraldo, a famous cave with 33-foot deep, crystal-clear waters that shimmer with emerald-green light thanks to an underground crevice. From the harbor area, pass under the Porta Marinara gate into Piazza del Duomo, pictured, Amalfi's open-air living room, which is dominated by the magnificent Duomo di Sant'Andrea. It's well worth scaling the steps to see the cathedral's splendid bronze door, cast in Constantinople in the 11th century, and its 13th-century Romanesque-Arabian cloisters, the aptly named Chiostro del Paradiso. You should also try to get away from the touristy main street into the narrow pedestrian streets above, which offer a glimpse of the town's unusual, Moorish-influenced vernacular architecture, with its whitewashed houses linked by arches and vaults—some of them so long that they turn certain lanes into tunnels.

Le Sirenuse, Italy
Positano 84017, Italy
Tel: 39 089 875 066
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Website: www.sirenuse.it
After 50 years of being cherished and polished by its owners, the Marchese Sersale family (now into its second generation, with patriarch Franco's son Antonio and his wife, Carla, at the helm), "The Sirens" still has a glamour and poise few hotels in the world can match. Part of the attraction is the 18th-century palazzo itself: Located halfway up this near-vertical village (hence the magnificent views down the coast), it's stuffed with the Sersale family's own collection of antiques. Then there's the service—Le Sirenuse has 63 rooms and twice as many staff. All of this conspires to maintain the illusion that one is a privileged houseguest—though it is, of course, a privilege you pay for. The Gae Aulenti–designed Aveda spa (Aulenti renovated Paris's Musée d'Orsay), the Champagne bar with its views down to the sea over the rooftops of the town, and the family's vintage Riva speedboat that you can rent for a spin around the coast only add to the grandeur. One important point: If you're shelling out for a room here, go all the way and accept nothing less than a deluxe or above, and preferably on a high floor. If you don't have a balcony with that incredible sweep over the bay, you'll cry.
