Campbell /ˈkæmbəl/ is a city in Santa Clara County, California, a suburb of San Jose, and part of Silicon Valley, in the San Francisco Bay Area. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, Campbell's population is 39,349. Although not a major high-tech city like many of its neighbors, Campbell is the original home of eBay and of its creator, Pierre Omidyar.[4]
Campbell is home to the Pruneyard Shopping Center, a sprawling open-air retail complex which was involved in a famous U.S. Supreme Court case that established the extent of the right to free speech in California. Today the Pruneyard Shopping Center is home to the South Bay offices of the FBI.

Of the total area, 1.49% is water, consisting of percolation ponds in Los Gatos Creek Park and in other locations; San Tomas Aquino Creek, which flows north on the west side of the city, is completely enclosed with fences and runs through concrete culverts; and Los Gatos Creek, which flows north-north-east on the east side of the city and has paths along both banks for hikers and joggers (locally called the "Par Course").
State Route 17 runs roughly parallel to Los Gatos Creek on its eastern side; State Route 85 runs roughly east-west through Los Gatos just south of Campbell and cuts through the southwest corner of the city.

At the county level, Campbell is located entirely within the 4th supervisorial district, represented on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors by Ken Yeager.
In the state legislature, Campbell is in the 11th Senate district, represented by Democrat Joe Simitian, and in the 24th Assembly district, represented by Democrat Jim Beall.
Federally, Campbell is in California's 18th congressional district, represented by Democrat Anna Eshoo.[11]
The City is represented by the City Council who internally elects a mayor and vice-mayor every calendar year. In December 2009, Evan Low and Jason Baker were elected Mayor and Vice-Mayor, respectively.
Campbell was founded by Benjamin Campbell, after whom the city was named. He came to California in 1846 with his father, William Campbell. William started a sawmill in Saratoga and surveyed the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara. In 1851, Benjamin bought 160 acres (0.65 km2) in southern Santa Clara Valley and cultivated hay and grain on it. This area later became Campbell's historical downtown core.
About a third of Campbell was a part of the 1839 Alta California Rancho Rinconada de Los Gatos land grant. The Northern extent of the granted land was along present-day Rincon Avenue and across the North end of John D. Morgan Park in central Campbell.
In 1878, Campbell sold his land for $5 an acre to a railroad company. By 1887, the first subdivision was recorded west of the railroad from Campbell Avenue to the spot where the Water Tower Plaza now stands. The area became the center for shipping fruit grown in the surrounding area, and within a short time, the drying grounds and canneries made Campbell an important rail center. The Campbell Fruit Growers' Union became a well-known cooperative with its 17-acre (69,000 m2) drying yard. J.C. Ainsley Packing Company, Hyde Cannery, and Payne Cannery were the main fruit packing companies. The Bank of Campbell was founded in 1895.
Campbell was officially incorporated as a city in 1952. The city then grew rapidly as orchard lands disappeared tract by tract. Today, Campbell is a suburban residential neighborhood in the southern part of the Santa Clara Valley.
Campbell is situated in the southern portion of the Santa Clara Valley, with Highway 17 passing through eastern Campbell and Highway 85 to its south. The historic downtown section sits just west of the railroad in the central area. The southwestern area of Campbell is known as the San Tomas neighborhood and varies somewhat from most of Campbell in the size of its lots and styles of housing. Hamilton Avenue is one the northernmost roads in Campbell.
The largest park in Campbell is Los Gatos Creek Park near Highway 17, and the second largest is John D. Morgan Park.[12]
Campbell is served by several major roads, including State Route 17, State Route 85 and San Tomas Expressway (Santa Clara County Route G4). Major local arterial roads include Winchester Boulevard and Bascom Avenue.
Public transport in Campbell is operated by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and includes several local and express bus lines that link the community to nearby towns, including Cupertino, Los Gatos, Palo Alto San Jose, Santa Clara and Saratoga. Additionally, the town is served by three light rail stations on the Mountain View - Winchester line, including Hamilton Station, Downtown Campbell Station, and the line's terminus at Winchester Station. These stations were opened as part of the first phase of the Vasona Light Rail project; the line will be extended past Winchester to Vasona Junction in Los Gatos once funding is secured. That line is now served by buses.
The extension was the subject of a minor dispute with the Federal Railroad Administration over the sounding of train horns late at night. This dispute delayed the opening of most of the extension for two months before the grand opening on October 1, 2005.
Housing and businesses[edit]
There are few large shopping centers or business complexes in the city, as Campbell is primarily a suburban residential area. Fry's Electronics and The Home Depot each have stores within the city limits and are two of the city's largest employers.
Most residences are single-family homes, although there are some areas with condominiums, duplexes, and apartments.[12] Single-family homes typically have one or two bathrooms and three or four bedrooms and are between 1,000 square feet (93 m2) and 1,600 square feet (150 m2) on lots typically measuring about 6,000 square feet (560 m2). The vast majority were built in the 1950s through 1970s. There are pockets of older homes, mostly near downtown, often in demand for their architectural styles.[citation needed] There are also pockets of newer, much larger homes about 3,500 square feet (330 m2), mostly built in the 1990s on subdivided lots previously occupied by homes dating from the first half of the 20th century. Most of Campbell's apartments are located in northern Campbell on Hamilton and Campbell Avenues.
Campbell's downtown is located near where Campbell Avenue intersects with the railroad. The downtown has many shops, bars, and restaurants.
The oldest commercial building in the city was erected in 1920, originally for the Grower's Bank. The building was converted to a movie theater in 1938. In 1968, The Gaslighter Theater company purchased and refurbished the building with a small stage and bar.[13] The Gaslighter produced melodramas and Vaudeville-style shows there until it closed in 2006. In 2013 the building was sold and underwent refurbishment to become a wine bar, tasting room, and restaurant.[14]
As of October 2006, the median price of single-family homes and condos was $707,500, up 4.8% from the previous October, and averaging $472 per square foot ($5,080/m²) according to the San Jose Mercury News; the average single-family home price, excluding condos, was $645,000 in January, 2004 (according to the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors). The price is based largely on the land value; the replacement cost for homes is about $150 to $200 per square foot ($1,600 to $2,200/m²).
Like many other cities in the Santa Clara Valley, Campbell was originally orchard land that was later developed into housing tracts.
Campbell is part of the Campbell Union Elementary School and the Campbell Union High School Districts. Of these districts, the schools located within the city are Campbell Middle School, Capri Elementary, Rosemary Elementary, Village school, and Westmont High School. Forest Hill elementary school's campus is half in Campbell as well. Westmont High Schoolis home to one of the few enduring Future Farmers of America programs left in the San Francisco Bay Area. There are several private schools in the city as well.
Santa Clara County Library operates the Campbell Library.[15]
Points of interest[edit]
In the early 1990s, the Ainsley House a unique English Tudor-style house built in 1925,[16] was moved from its original site at the corner of Hamilton and Bascom Avenues (the current site of eBay's headquarters) to the downtown quad and furnished with many of the Ainsley family's original furnishings. It has become the centerpiece for the Campbell Historical Museum, which houses additional exhibits in the nearby old firehouse. The Ainsley House was built in the style of English country cottages for John Colpitts Ainsley, a canning pioneer in Santa Clara County, which was at the time known for its vast spreads of fruit orchards.
The Campbell Community Center is located on the northwest corner of Winchester and Campbell Avenues, in the building that used to be Campbell High School, the original school in the Campbell Union High School District. The Redwood Tree, which stands at the corner of Winchester Boulevard and Campbell Avenue was originally planted there on May 11, 1903 by then President, Teddy Roosevelt. The city acquired the property on August 1, 1985, five years after the school shut down.[17] The Heritage Theater, formerly the high school's auditorium, was reopened after renovations in 2004 as an entertainment and event venue. The Community Center holds classes, and portions are available to be rented for various events.
The Campbell Water Tower is a highly visible remnant of Campbell's "small town" past and located on the site of the original city water company and pumping plant near downtown.
Campbell is formerly the home of the Winchester Drive-In Theater (now a business park) and is also home to a number of public parks that include John D. Morgan Park, Campbell Park, Edith Morley Park (the site of the city's community garden program), Jack Fischer Park, the Los Gatos Creek Trail Park, Orchard City Green, and Stojanovich Family Park.[18]
The Dubcich farm located on West Campbell Ave. near Morgan Park is Campbell's last remaining piece of agricultural property and connection to the city's agrarian origins.[19] It is still intact with its original farm house dating back to the 1920s, barn, and fruit trees.
Campbell for many years had one of the most successful youth baseball programs in the country, reaching 14 World Series from 1960-87.
Campbell's youth baseball system dates to 1909, when Campbell High School formed its first team and won the Interurban Athletic Union championship. The community's first non-scholastic youth baseball organization was the Junior Hardball League, which began in 1947. In 1954, Campbell Little League and Campbell Pony League began operation, and Moreland Little League, which is located in west San Jose but historically has served many Campbell residents, started in 1959.
Moreland in 1962 became the only Northern California team to win a Little League World Series, with 6-foot-1, 210-pound Ted Campbell pitching a no-hitter in a 3-0 victory over Kankakee, Ill, in the championship game. Campbell Little League reached the Little League World Series championship game in 1970, 1976 and 1979, becoming one of only two American leagues to go to the LLWS three times in one decade. In all, Campbell-system teams have won six youth baseball World Series and finished second five times. Nine future major leaguers played in the Campbell youth baseball system: Don Hahn, George Tsamis, Steve Davis, Dan Gladden, Doug Capilla, Rich Troedson, Joe Ferguson, John Oldham and Greg Gohr.
"The Last Baseball Town," a book by Campbell resident Chuck Hildebrand that chronicles the city's baseball heritage, was published in May 2009.

Why the Middle East is Economically Underdeveloped: Historical Mechanisms of Institutional Stagnation
Article Citation
Kuran, Timur. 2004. "Why the Middle East is Economically Underdeveloped: Historical Mechanisms of Institutional Stagnation."
Journal of Economic Perspectives,
18(3): 71-90.
Although a millennium ago the Middle East was not an economic laggard, by the 18th century it exhibited clear signs of economic backwardness. The reason for this transformation is that certain components of the region's legal infrastructure stagnated as their Western counterparts gave way to the modern economy. Among the institutions that generated evolutionary bottlenecks are the Islamic law of inheritance, which inhibited capital accumulation; the absence in Islamic law of the concept of a corporation and the consequent weaknesses of civil society; and the waqf, which locked vast resources into unproductive organizations for the delivery of social services. All of these obstacles to economic development were largely overcome through radical reforms initiated in the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, traditional Islamic law remains a factor in the Middle East's ongoing economic disappointments. The weakness of the region's private economic sectors and its human capital deficiency stand among the lasting consequences of traditional Islamic law.

A Lovely Fall Campground
October 31, 2012 by Diane Berry · Leave a Comment
One lovely October weekend, we happened upon the Columbine Canyon near Red River, NM. To access the trailhead for our hike, we had to hike through the Columbine Canyon Campground, one of the loveliest, natural forest campgrounds we have ever seen. Regular readers of this blog will know I am a fan of the simple, rustic natural forest campgrounds as a rule, but this was one of the best I've seen. Located between Questa, NM and the "wild west" town of Red River, NM, the Columbine Canyon campground is located in the heart of the Kit Carson National Forest, providing all of the peace and tranquility anyone can imagine.
All sites are paved and spacious. Made up of a total of 27 sites, the entrance to the campground contains a small circle of 8 large, perfectly flat open sites easily accessible to big rigs, but with limited shade and privacy. No hookups are available and the facilities are rustic. But the ambiance cannot be duplicated.
The remainder of the campground runs away from the main road and along a small creek (Columbine Creek) that flows to the back of the campground and along the trail the begins at the back of the property. Sites on the left contain a number of back-ins, while those on the right are a series of pull-throughs, suitable for big rigs. All sites contain fire rings and lovely, large sitting areas with picnic tables. Some sites have direct stream access, but no hookups or dump station are available. Several water spigots are located throughout the campground. Still, we noted as we hiked through the campground that the peace and seclusion cannot be duplicated. Further, sites and campers are protected here, due to the canyon and the forest, from the high New Mexico winds, which is unusual in this area.
One of the biggest advantages of this campground is the miles and miles of hiking trails accessible directly from your site. You could literally hike for days from this location. Stopping just for a hike, we hiked for five hours and plan to return again for more. There is access to a minimum of 40 miles of trails just from this campground, as well as many additional trails in the surrounding area.
For fall camping, the Columbine Campground can't be beat. Open from May 1st through October 31st every year, the campground has a self-service pay station at the entrance. We visited in early October and the campground was empty, though most of the toilets were open. There are four campgrounds in the Red River Valley and we believe this is, by far, the nicest, both in terms of accessibility and access. Sites are $15 per night and well worth the price. If you are in the mood for beautiful fall camping, with a bit of hiking thrown in, visit Columbine Campground near Questa, NM.

Ngong House
Ten Acres of Paradise in the Nairobi Suburbs
Ngong House is a private, serene and luxurious home situated on 10 acres of private land in the Karen / Langata area of Nairobi. The lodge overlooks the Ngong Hills, only a few minutes away from what used to be Karen Blixen's coffee farm. Accommodation is mainly in luxurious tree houses designed with extreme comfort in mind. Every unit is different in design: Some have two levels with bedrooms upstairs and living areas on the lower floor raised 15 feet from the ground to gain an uninterrupted view of the Ngong Hills over unspoiled bush. Dining at Ngong House is a delight, from fresh, succulent Molo lamb to lake fish to seafood from the Indian Ocean. The meals are prepared and served accompanied by large varieties of fresh local vegetables. The Kenyan chefs have been specially trained by several visiting chefs from Belgium. Breakfast and lunch are served in the garden under a canopy of acacia trees. Dinner is served in a half-open, majestic thatched rondavel, a circular building with a conical roof, with a grand fireplace, or in another secluded area of the lodge. Every night casual pre-dinner drinks and "bitings" are served around the campfire giving travelers a chance to meet other guests. Any of the following excursions can be arranged at an extra cost. Walk or drive to the Giraffe Centre, sanctuary to the endangered Rothschild giraffe where you can enjoy feeding them in pleasant surroundings. Drive to Karen Blixen Museum and step back into the time of 'Out of Africa'. Drive to the Elephant and Rhino Orphanage set up by the world famous Daphine Sheldrick. Shopping excursions can be arranged to various locations as well as visits to Nairobi National Park, the National Museum or Snake Park.

Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
A Sweet Elephant Interaction
The Daphne Sheldrick Animal Orphanage is located in a secluded area of the Nairobi National Park, where orphaned baby elephants amongst other animals are taken care of by a dedicated team of conservationists. The orphanage is run by Daphne Sheldrick, the wife of the late famous Naturalist, David William Sheldrick who was the founder Warden of Tsavo East National Park in Kenya from its inception in 1948 to 1976. Daphne Sheldrick was the first person in the entire world to successfully hand rear newborn fully milk dependent African Elephant orphans, something that spanned 28 years of trial and error to achieve. By the year 2004 the Trust had successfully saved and hand-reared over 55 infant African Elephant calves, two from the day of birth. close

Giraffe Center
Meet Africa's Tallest Inhabitants
African Fund for Endangered Wildlife Kenya limited (AFEW (K) LTD) also known as the Giraffe Center was founded in 1979 by the late Jock Leslie- Melvile, a Kenyan citizen of British descent and his wife the late Betty Leslie Melvile an American citizen. Jock's extra ordinary vision of creating an educational institution in conjunction with rescuing the endangered Rothschild giraffes resulted in the present day Giraffe Center that has become a World famous Nature Education Center. The Giraffe Center is a Non-Profit organization whose main objective is to provide conservation education for school children and the youth of Kenya. All education programs are offered to them free of charge. The Giraffe Centre derives 90% of its funds from the entrance fee collected and from the sales in the gift shop and teahouse. Therefore, by visiting and/or making purchase from the gift shop and teahouse you have contributed towards conservation education to the Kenyan youth. The endangered Rothschild giraffe breeding program started with the inception of the Giraffe Center back then in 1979. The giraffes breed naturally in an approximate 120 Acreage of land and the young calves born at the center are introduced back into the wild at the age of 2years. The giraffes at the center are closely observed and monitored by AFEW staff and when need be their natural diet is supplemented with Lucern Grass, salt blocks and carrots. Ever since the breeding started, the center has handled over 50 Rothschild Giraffes and most of them have been introduced back into the wild in selected Kenya's protected areas. close

Harmony universal remotes: What's the best one for you?
There are at least eight different universal remotes in Logitech's updated line of Harmony models. How do they vary, and which is best for you?
Longtime CNET readers know that we've always liked Harmony remotes (even in the days before the original Canadian company, Intrigue Technologies, was purchased by Logitech). Harmony models pioneered the idea of "Web-programmable" consumer electronics: tell the software which products you own and how they're connected, and the software uploads all of the codes to the remote, preprogrammed into task-based activities such as "Watch TV," "Watch a movie," "Listen to music," and so forth.
As of now, however, the lineup of Harmony remotes is arguably as good -- and as affordable -- as it's ever been. But with eight current models (and several more older ones that are still available through various retailers), distinguishing among them can be a bit confusing. So we decided to create this cheat sheet to make choosing as easy as possible:
Harmony tips
Some tips for choosing the Harmony that's best for you:
Start by determining how many products you'll need to control. If you've got six devices, don't get one of the remotes that only controls five or fewer. And remember that Harmony remotes should be able to replace any infrared-based remotes, including those for ceiling fans.
The actual price may be lower than the suggested retail price. Even if the list price is too steep for you, be sure to click through and check the retail price. It's often lower -- sometimes significantly so.
RF compatibility is a great upgrade -- but be prepared to pay for it. Control compatibility refers to infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF). Every product you own (with the notable exception of the PlayStation 3 -- see below) almost certainly uses IR control, but that requires line of sight to the product's IR receiver. If you want to hide your home theater gear in a cabinet, you'll want to invest in one of the RF models, which include RF-to-IR blasters (small accessories that convert the radio commands -- which work through obstructions -- to the IR emitters that are in turn placed near the receiving devices).
If detailed, multistep custom macros are important to you, a Harmony model probably isn't the best choice. A small group of advanced users values the ability to program custom multidevice macros, to do things like raise the lights when putting a movie on pause. They've been extremely frustrated to find that Logitech's most advanced and expensive models don't support them (the Harmony One is pretty much the only one left that does). Logitech calls macros "sequences," but the cheaper remotes only support sequences of five steps -- not enough to do extensive programming. We think 95 percent of the audience won't find this to be a problem, but that a passionate 5 percent of advanced users will probably want to look elsewhere. Models from URC and Acoustic Research are a good start.
The Harmony Adapter for PlayStation 3 is a must for PS3 owners. For reasons known only to Sony, the PS3 does not have an IR port, so it can't be controlled by regular universal remotes. Thankfully, Logitech makes this accessory, which converts IR commands to PS3-friendly Bluetooth. Yes, it's annoying that you need to pay an extra $50 to $60 for this, but it works flawlessly.
Feel free to buy your own rechargeable batteries. None of the sub-$100 remotes includes rechargeable batteries. If that's important to you, you can always invest in two pairs of your own rechargeable batteries, and swap them in and out as needed.
Bare-bones Harmony models are now available for $20 to $30. Once upon a time, Harmony prices started at $60 or above -- but no longer. The Harmony 200 and Harmony 300 can be had for no more than $20 or $30, respectively. That said, these models control only three or four products, and are best for simple bedroom or den systems, not big living room home theaters with AV receivers or more than four devices.
Don't think $100 is too much to spend for a remote. Yes, it looks like a lot of money. It is a lot of money, especially when you've been used to picking up "universal remotes" at the drug store for $20. But trust us: even the midlevel Harmony models are a great investment that are well worth their purchase price.
The software will still frustrate newbies and non-techies. The latest version of Logitech's software is much improved over earlier versions, but -- as good as it is -- it can still frustrate those who aren't techies. And there's definitely some trial and error involved when setting up a Harmony, even if the process is completely smooth. If you're buying one of these as a gift for a non-geek, you might need to volunteer to help set it up. (For more Harmony frustrations and suggestions, see "Five ways Logitech can improve Harmony remotes.")
Best bets
Best bang for your universal remote buck: Harmony 650/700: These two models share nearly identical designs, with just very tiny feature differences. They're separated in price by as little as $30. If you're not ready to make the leap to the Harmony One, either of these will be an ideal living-room remote for most people. (The Harmony 600 is now discontinued, but you might be able to find it at a closeout price at some retailers.)

Read the full review of the Logitech Harmony 700.
Best RF remotes: Harmony One/900: In 2008, we called the Harmony One "one of the best -- if not the best -- universal remote we've ever tested." That description still stands. If you need to control more than six devices -- and you can spend upwards of $150 on a remote -- the Harmony One is the one to get. Go for the 900 if you need RF support (and can live without custom sequences).

Read the full review of the Logitech Harmony 900.
Best bargain remotes: Harmony 200/300: These are Logitech's more recent entry-level remotes. They have no LCD and lack most of the task-based commands found on all other Harmony remotes, but they're available for as little as $20.

Read the full review of the Logitech Harmony 300.
Other models
Harmony 1100: Personally, I've never been a fan of the tablet design for remotes. The 900's hard keys plus small touch-screen design is a better design, in my opinion. But the tablet-style touch-screen design has a lot of fans. Those folks should check out the Logitech Harmony 1100.
Read the full review of the Logitech Harmony 1100.
Harmony Link: It sounds like a great idea: use your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, or Android phone as a touch-screen remote. And, indeed, the Harmony Link (which converts commands via Wi-Fi from a free Harmony app to IR commands that your TV, game console, or stereo can understand) works as promised. But again, you're stuck with a touch-screen interface, which is better in theory than in practice. But the bigger problem may be that the iPad app's built-in TV programming guide isn't as robust as some of the similar free apps you can get from cable and satellite providers.

a couple questions to make sure we understand what you need:Which language do you use to develop your desktop app ?Do you need help with the OAuth process too ?
So...Any ideas of good resources for finding a developer that can do this?
I'm afraid not.maybe things will improve when Yahoo comes up with a commercial license for this API...until then, developers have little incentive to get involved.
one more thought:Maybe you could post on other YDN forumsit seems that the most difficult part of using the fantasy sports API is the OAuth process, Since it is identical for other yahoo APIs, you might find talented developer with experience with Yahoo Mail API or Flickr...
So...Any ideas of good resources for finding a developer that can do this?Thanks

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. —
Half way around the world, nearly a lifetime ago, a young man from rural Indiana found himself as a prisoner of war.
At 19, Robert Gene Archer was still a teenager in late 1950 when he was reportedly captured near the Chosin Reservoir in communist North Korea. Cpl. Archer, a light truck driver and infantryman, would die as a captive of the North Korean forces in that distant place, far from his family, friends and home.
Now, thanks to DNA testing by the U.S. military using samples from Archer's surviving relatives, Cpl. Archer's remains have been identified and returned to his hometown of Brazil. They arrived at the French Funeral Home early Tuesday afternoon.
"It's really good that they brought him home," said Jim Archer, a nephew of Cpl. Archer. "We're just honored."
Jim Archer and his cousin, John Archer were too young to recall their uncle, who died serving in the Korean War, 1950-1953. But they said their older relatives never forgot "Uncle Robert."
"My mom and dad always talked about him," John Archer said, standing outside the French Funeral Home, where services for his uncle are scheduled for Saturday morning. Burial will follow the services with full military honors.
A large contingent, including veterans groups, escorted Archer's remains Tuesday from the Indianapolis International Airport to Clay County, where Robert Archer attended high school and worked at Mohr's Garage in Brazil before enlisting in the U.S. Army.
"We try to do this whenever we can," said Toni Brown, a member of the Greenwood American Legion Post, who was part of the large escort. "We still have a lot of [military men and women missing in action]," she said. "We need to get more of them home."
Archer is one of six U.S. veterans identified through DNA testing so far this year, according to the Defense Department. His remains were identified on Jan. 14.
There are approximately 88,000 military men and women missing in action from World War II through the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to U.S. government data.
Archer has been awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge, the Prisoner of War Medal, the Korean Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal.
For his family members still living in Clay County, having their uncle back home brings a long-overdue sense of closure and satisfaction. It also brings a sense of pride.
"You've got to admire the people that go in the service and fight for our country," said John Archer leaving the funeral home. "How can you not be proud?"

The Big Island does not have the variety of great surfing spots found on Oahu or Maui, but it does have decent waves and a thriving surf culture. Local kids and avid surfers frequent a number of places up and down the Kona and Kohala Coasts of west Hawaii. Expect high surf in winter and much calmer activity during summer. The surf scene is much more active on the Kona side.

Climb aboard the 48-passenger Atlantis VII submarine anchored off Kailua Pier, across from King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel in Kailua-Kona. A large glass dome in the bow and 13 viewing ports on the sides allow clear views of the aquatic world more than 100 feet down. This is a great trip for kids and nonswimmers. Each one-hour voyage costs $109 for adults. The company also operates on Oahu and Maui. Kailua Pier, Alii Dr., Kailua-Kona, HI, 96740. PHONE: 808/326-7939 or 800/381-0237. www.atlantisadventures.com.
Stand-up paddling (or SUP for short), a sport with roots in the Hawaiian Islands, has grown popular worldwide over the past few years. It's available for all skill levels and ages, and even novice stand-up paddleboarders can get up, stay up, and have a great time paddling around a protected bay or exploring the gorgeous coastline. All you need is a large body of water, a board, and a paddle. The workout will test your core strength as well as your balance but truly offers a unique vantage point from which to enjoy the beauty of the island and the ocean.
A favorite pastime on the Big Island, snorkeling is perhaps one of the easiest and most enjoyable water activities for visitors. By floating on the surface, looking through your mask, and breathing through your snorkel, you can see lava rock formations, sea arches, sea caves, and coral reefs teeming with colorful tropical fish. While the Kona and Kohala coasts have more beaches, bays, and quiet coves to snorkel, the east side around Hilo and at Kapoho are also great places to get in the water.
Snuba—a cross between scuba and snorkeling—is a great choice for non-scuba divers who want to go a step beyond snorkeling. You and an instructor dive off a raft attached to a 25-foot hose and regulator; you can dive as deep as 20 feet or so. This is a good way to explore reefs a bit deeper than you can get to by snorkeling. If you get frightened or need a rest, the raft is right there, ready to support you.
The Big Island's underwater world is the setting for a dramatic diving experience. With generally calm waters, vibrant coral reefs and rock formations, and plunging underwater drop-offs, the Kona and Kohala coasts provide some great scuba diving. There are also some good dive locations in east Hawaii, not far from the Hilo area. Divers will find much to occupy their time, including marine reserves teeming with unique Hawaiian reef fish, Hawaiian green sea turtles, an occasional and rare Hawaiian monk seal, and even some playful Hawaiian spinner dolphins. On special night dives to see manta rays, divers descend with bright underwater lights that attract plankton, which in turn attracts these otherworldly creatures. The best spots to dive are listed in order from north to south; all are on the west coast.
Parasailing, gliding on the winds with a parachute while being pulled behind a power boat, is a relaxing and thrilling experience. If you can handle heights, you'll revel in the experience of being suspended in air while soaring above Kailua Bay. The water is so clear you can almost see the ocean floor. And no swimming is required; takeoffs and landings are from the back of the boat.
The leeward west coast areas of the Big Island are protected for the most part from the northeast trade winds, making for ideal near-shore kayaking conditions. There are miles and miles of uncrowded Kona and Kohala coastline to explore, presenting close-up views of stark raw lava rock shores and cliffs, lava tube sea caves, pristine secluded coves, and deserted beaches.
For old salts and novice sailors alike, there's nothing like a cruise on the Kona or Kohala coasts of the Big Island. Calm waters, serene shores, and the superb scenery of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai, the Big Island's primary volcanic peaks, make for a great sailing adventure. You can drop a line over the side and try your luck at catching dinner, or grab some snorkel gear and explore when the boat drops anchor in one of the quiet coves and bays. A cruise may well be the most relaxing and adventurous part of a Big Island visit.
According to the movies, in the Old West there was always friction between cattle ranchers and sheep ranchers. Sometimes a similar situation exists between surfers and body boarders. That's why they generally keep to their own separate surfing areas. Often the body boarders stay closer to shore and leave the outside breaks to the board surfers. Or the board surfers may stick to one side of the beach and the body boarders to the other. The truth is, body boarding (often called "boogie boarding" in homage to the first commercial manufacturer of this slick little flexible foam board) is a blast. The only surfers who don't also sometimes carve waves on a body board are hardcore purists, and almost none of that type live on this island.

My hunt in the Limpopo
I left Madrid on August 8th, for my fifth African hunt, we were a group of seven, of which two were observers, Five Spaniards and two Russians. As Iberia canceled its JHB route, we chose to fly with Swiss, via Zurich, as Switzerland is hassle free when flying with guns. All you have to do is give advance warning to the airline.
We had a smooth but long flight, arrived JHB on the 9th, two of our PH s, Eksteen Prinsloo and Friki were waiting for us, we collected our guns from the SAPS office without any problems, and were on our way to Elandsbosch Safaris in the Limpopo Province, near Steenbokpan for 8 days of hunting.
I had told Gerhardo Steenekamp, our outfitter, that on this trip I wanted to collect an Eland and a Bushbuck and they had to be mature animals, I had all the time to look for them. Then, if the opportunity presented, I would also like to shoot a hyena, baboon, jackal, and any large warthog I could set my sights on.
The editor of Armas Internacional magazine, a longtime friend and hunting partner was in the party, and he brought a Merkel Helix in 9,3x62 for testing, which I used to take my animals. Scopes were an Aimpoint Hunter 30mm, and Leupold RX 2-7x33, with illuminated reticle, also 30mm tube. Ammunition used, RWS EVO 296gr which performed flawlessly.
Day One
We set out to hunt Vergulde Helm property, which was supposed to have very nice Eland. It is a large property, and unusual in the area, because its center is made of rocky low hills, with boulders of all sizes, where the eland just love to be. It has all the animals you expect to see in the area.
The day was cold, when we set out, -3 C, around 15C at noon, and very windy. I was hunting with Eksteen. We cruised the area on the bakkie until we saw tracks of a group with a large male, heading for the hills, and we followed on foot, it was hard going, but we managed to get quite close, as their dropping were still wet. After 2.5 hours we got a glimpse of them just before they disappeared at the top of a hill, and there was a very nice male. We completely lost the track on stony ground, so back to the bakkie for another search.
During the stalk we saw some interesting animals, a klipspringer, an African Wild Cat, and a mamba, which would not pose for a picture. It still puzzles me, what was the mamba doing in this cold weather?
We found tracks of a lone bull, and went after, only to lose them after about 1.5 hours.
Lunch in the field, and back to work in the afternoon, following the same procedure. We were unsuccessful, until sundown, when we jumped a group of Eland, but they were too fast and lost themselves in heavy brush.
Day Two
Today we are hunting Moos Pan property, again lousy hunting weather, cold and windy
It is a typical bushveld farm, same tactics as yesterday, driving around, and then stalking in the heavy brush where the eland are hiding, as we can see tracks and droppings, but they elude us. We found a poacher s noose, which we took, and not far away a pair of pliers on the ground, maybe we had just scared him?
It was only at sunset when we saw a group of eland, and later a large lone male. It is hard to understand how such large animals can be so fast and completely disappear in the bush in seconds. Who is it that said elands are just big fat cows?
All that time, I had been hunting alone with my PH, without any tracker or observer, so as to make the less possible noise.
According to my PH, we had been walking about 10 Km a day. Just a stroll!
Day Three
It is now warmer, with less wind but it changes direction constantly.
For a change we went for Bushbuck, at Serengeti farm. A well-known property, where high ranking politicians used to take their holidays. It is not so well kept nowadays.
I will elaborate further about bushbuck hunting later on, as it is an interesting topic.
That morning we did see many females, and a few bucks, but not what we were looking for.
After lunch we went back for eland, and saw 11 males, unfortunately, all young fellows.
Day Four
We are back on eland, hunting Aurora, a large property, more than 5.000ha, with the usual animals of the area plus buffalo, rhino, sable, tsessebe, a lion breeding project, and enclosure with young specimens of cats, leopard, both spotted and black, caracal, African cat, and tiger!
It is extremely well kept and has a non-hunting area separated by a fence.
We spend there the whole day and follow the usual routine, on the bakkie looking for tracks, then on foot through the bush.
They are extremely elusive during the day but we manage to see a very nice bull as the sun was setting.
Eksteen was getting worried that we still had not gotten my eland, but I reassured him there was no hurry, it just had to be the right one.
Day Five
Back to Aurora, we were definitely going after the big bull we had seen yesterday.
We talked with Carl, the head PH on the property, whom I know since 2008, and he told us that he had seen this old bull feed in a certain area where he would take us.
On the way we passed the buffalo herd, and a cow was giving birth, we stopped, and the bulls made a line staring and snorting at us, we got the bakkie going, and the leader and two other males actually chased us for a while. An interesting experience.
We reached the feeding area and decided to wait for the eland, we stood around 100m from the clearing, but did not build a blind, we just stood inside some bushed with trees behind us to break our outline, put up the sticks, and waited.
Our camouflage was good, as two gemsbok passed within 10m of us and didn t bolt. Next a small herd of blue wildebeest came, and started grazing, and finally, Eksteen whispered eland, he heard them coming, later explaining to me they make a distinctive noise with their hooves.
And there I was with my rifle on the sticks, watching as one, two, three eland passed in front of my scope, then, that s the one, whispered E, no doubt, even an amateur like myself could see it was a really old bull, then came more eland , three kudu bulls were playing their pranks, a few more gemsbok also came around, and I was trying to center my crosshairs on the bull amid all the confusion. When I thought I had a clear shot, someone would move into the line of fire. I don t know how long I waited, but it seemed like an eternity, until I finally had an opening and pressed the trigger.
Extreme confusion, as all the animals run in different directions, but E was smiling, calling å µood shot? We could see blood, light red and frothy, a lung shot. E tried to track it but it was nearly impossible with all the tracks made by the other animals, so we called Carl, and his Jack Russell Terrier. That wonderful dog made it easy and found the eland about 80m away, deep in the bush.

Who ever said Eland are big cows mistook them for Buffalo.
Glad you waited and got some good strolls in beforehand.
Very nice Bull.Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!

Part II
We are still on Day Five.
After taking the eland back to camp, we went back to Serengeti in our quest for the elusive Bushbuck. For those of you who have not yet hunted Bushbuck along the Limpopo, here are a few pics of the area.
Attachment 21787

As you can see, this is totally different from the bushveld we are used to in northern SA, the Limpopo river is the border between RSA and Botswana, it is not carrying much water actually, it fact it doesn t flow at all and is a series of ponds. The locals say they haven t seen it so low for the last 8 years. There is a double barbed wire fence which marks the border, and you hunt between these fences.
Trees are high and vegetation is dense, there is not much light, and animals are difficult to see, unless they move, there are a lot of velvet monkeys, some baboons, warthogs, and impalas to add to the confusion. We saw two crocodiles in the largest pond, one around 2m, the 4m.
According to the PH, there are at least two old bushbuck males in this property.
Hunting is done by walking slowly and silently and trying to locate your quarry before he senses you. No mean feat, it takes a PH with very sharp eyes to see these animals, and then judge whether it is the one you want.
That is what we did until sundown; we saw quite a few bushbucks, and one of the old males which didn t give me time to point my rifle. They move very fast!
Day six
We spent that morning at Serengeti, looking for the elusive bushbuck, saw a good male, but again he slipped away before I could take aim.
To break the jinx, in the afternoon we tried another property, Stockpoort, which is next to the border crossing into Botswana, my PH told me there are also two old males here, we managed to see one, but he saw us before, and bolted.
Attachment 21791
After two full days going after an animal which I thought would be easier, I was, to put it mildly, discouraged. Also quite tired of walking up and down that riverbank, just to see them disappear. I really wanted to do something else the next day.
Day Seven
I slept a bit more, and by noon we set up a blind next to a waterhole with camo nets, in the same property where the camp is. Three warthogs came to visit and were duly dispatched. A whole family of waterbucks came in, but were acting very skittishly which we failed to understand as the wind was right for us.
Then something totally unexpected, a hyena in broad daylight, probably attracted by the warthogs, unfortunately, it went back into the bushes immediately and gave me no chance of a shot. A jackal also came to nose around but would not keep quiet, possibly being aware of the hyena. This game went on until sundown, we waited to have a chance at the hyena, but it didn t show up again, and we had to leave when it was too dark to see anything.
Attachment 21792
That night we went out with an electronic jackal call, without results, and did some spotlighting from the bakkie, we saw all kinds of animals, including the rare aardwolf, and my friend shot a nice warthog.
I had given up on the bushbuck, but Gerhardo, my outfitter, told me I wasn t going back without it. Tomorrow he would go hunting with me, and I would shoot an old Bushbuck.
Day Eight
Gerhardo and I left early for Stockpoort. We started our walk and stalk in the cool air which kept changing, and made us extremely cautious. After one and a half hours, he signaled me to crouch and stay put, then we slowly went back to find the cover of tree, and carefully put up the sticks pointing where the bushbuck was, around 80 m away. He was lying in the shade, difficult to see, as the old males have a darker color. I aimed at his heart/shoulder area, he saw me and started to move, I fired.
Good shot, congratulations, a slap in the back?finally!
Attachment 21793
Attachment 21794
The shot went in behind the shoulder and exited on the opposite hip, destroying the pelvis and leaving a huge gaping hole. The bushbuck jinx was broken.
On the way back to camp, Gerhardo spotted this very old guy and asked me to put him out of his misery. Headshot.
Attachment 21795
Day Nine
We are going back home, after a visit to the taxidermist.
I am very satisfied with my trip; it has been by far the most demanding both physically and mentally, more than hunting buffalo or lion. The trophies are just what I wanted.
Too bad for the hyena, baboon, and jackal, they will have to wait for the next time.
It was nice to be back in Africa, among old friends, dining with game meat every day prepared on the braai by the boys, and accompanied by other marvelous dishes and fantastic desserts lovingly made by Anneke, drinking Castles and that great red wine
Now I ll just have to start saving for my next hunt, I was thinking about aquatics? hippo and crocodile!
