GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have two children who attend Grand Canyon Prep. For several years running, I have found this school to be wonderful. The teachers are deeply involved with the parents. If there is anything I need to be aware of I immediately receive a call and/or an email. Being a person who attended school through to my doctorate, I really wished to find a school that my children would feel welcome at and would be challenged at but also enjoy. I did not want my children to go to one of the local schools with an enormous student population. Along with not wanting my children to be lost in the shuffle at a large school, I wanted my children to attend a school with diversity. All of my desired have been fulfilled at this school. My children have very different needs from each other and I feel both of them are being served very well at GCP. My children have both noted that there are "no bullies" at this school. I believe this is a reflection of the compassionate leadership at GCP. A special thank you to Mr. Gordon for his hard work in making this school what it is and also for his kindness towards all of the students.
My child had always been a top student who loved school. When we moved to Gilbert, she had a 4.2 GPA, had exceeded on all four portions of the AIMS on her first attempt, and her national standardized test scores put her above the 96th Percentile. When we read about the school online, she was quite excited about its dual-enrollment program. The principal made clear to us that it was high performing school (test-score wise), and made it out to be a perfect fit. Upon starting school, my child was immediately displeased. I thought it was just a case of new school anxiety, but this quickly proved to not be the case. She loved her fellow students, yet described her classes as Kindergarten-level (despite of straight A's), and came home every night begging to switch schools. One night she showed me her classwork, and I realized she was not exaggerating . I looked up the school's test scores, which turned out to be much lower than the principal quoted. We immediately changed schools, but as she was so far behind Gilbert HS, she got her only D of HS. This disqualified her from two separate full-ride scholarships (AIMS and Lumberjack).

I highly recommend Grand Canyon Prep. The curriculum is outstanding and the teachers are fabulous. I have worked at several other schools and I know how we compare. We work hard, the students work hard. We learn and they learn. What more could you ask?
small school with small classes. the do not put up with bullies, not doing homework. The teachers care and take interest in each student. Parents are asked to be part of their kids process of learning. Fun activities and homework class after school. 8 to 3:30 school and homework club with a teacher and the principal is always there to help. 3:30 to 5pm. The offer music lessons, lego robotics, tutoring, soccer, debate team. Awesome place, my child is very happy here. Our child is very excited to go to school with his friends from 6th grade to 12 grade. The bigger kids really do play a role model for the younger ones here. Everyone really works on getting along. Of course their will always be on or two. But here it gets worked out quickly. it smooth sailing for a safe, clean learning environment.
We enrolled our daughter at James Madison preparatory school down the street because we like smaller classes. Many many promises went unfulfilled. We didn't even know our daughter was having issues until the report cards came out. she was even failing 2 classes. We worked tirelessly with our daughter. More Promises unfulfilled by the school. no student falls through the cracks? We left. After 1 year at Grand Canyon prep. Our daughter is on the honor roll, with her lowest grade being a b. Since enrolling at this wonderful school our daughter has blossomed. She loves the school, we love this school.
This is probably the best school my son has attended. Classes are small, subjects include languages, such as Japanese. I think he is challenged just enough! Staff is great; they are caring, responsive and are just great teachers! We feel fortunate to have found this school.
Excellent, engaged and proactive teachers and staff. GCP has strong leadership and challenging courses and programs. There is visible improvment in my child's education and interactivity with the school and staff.
Both of my children attend GCP. We absolutely love it. We appreciate everything from the dedicated teachers, to the small warm school environment, to the challenging academics. We are so happy to be a part of this wonderful school environment.
I think this a great school. Wonderful teachers and staff. Excellent leadership. Too much homework sometimes.
This school is great. The class size is smaller than other schools. Most classes are about 10-17 people at Grand canyon Prepatory academy.(GCP) Yes, the classes are harder but thats a plus if anything because you learn more that way.I am personally a student and I will be at this school for a while longer. The teachers are funny and they can help you at almost any time, due to small classes. This is just and overall great school.
I am impressed with this school. My son has done very well and is happy there. Small class sizes and excellent teacher make for good results. My only regret is that with a school this size Physical education and sports are minimal.
You have no idea how great this school has been for my boys in both their academics as well as their confidence. This school has been a great influence on my children to want to do better as well as give them hope of going to college.
The dual diploma program is very exciting to me. Students can graduate with a high school and associate degree I was quite impressed. I have never heard that before in other school setting. The students also get involved with the community, charity events, and fundraisers. These are things that help your child become a well rounded person. ~ Alanna Giddens
Not impressed by this school. They do not get personalized one-on-one attention when needed. They are not helpful at all. Please parents research before you move your children here. I wish I had researched more. My child has been nothing but unhappy.
If your child is struggling with an academic part of their curriculum not being touch by the big schools, come to Grand Canyon Prep Academy. You ll find that help here. That s the basis of the school -it s small, compact and they ll put your child on the right track. ~ Michael Fisher
I'm so impressed with this school! The programs are challenging and the Teachers are of the best quality. My son is learning so much more here than he did at the public high school.
Grand Canyon Prep has allowed our Daughter to excel so f,ar that she will graduate with a associates in business at the time she graduates high school. Its a real leg up for her.WI give it an A+
Grand Canyon Prep has allowed my shy daughter to blossom. She would have fallen through the cracks at a bigger school. Thanks GCP
I have had my child in GCP since 7th grade. He did so well that he skipped 8th grade and went straight into high school. He is currently a Junior who will have earned 12 college credits by the end of this semester. He was able to go to Japan and is currently taking his 4th year of Japanese. the teaching staff is exceptional. three of the current instructors are college certified professors. the environment is close and all teachers are in daily communication with parents whenever necessary. I saw a complete transformation in my child. He loves to go to school now and looks forward to all his classes. GCP is an excellent choice for selective parents looking for a great education in a small environment.
I transferred my 6th grader to this school from a huge public school and he is LOVING it. He is blossoming here. He loves the smaller classes, being able to talk with his teachers and the wide variety of electives. In no way do I find the curriculum here behind or lacking compared to the public school he came from.

Glenfiddich 19 year old Age of Discovery: This rich and delicious nineteen year old Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been matured in oak casks previously used to age fine Maderia Wine. The majority of the Maderia casks came from the Canteiro warehouses of Henrique & Henrique, a famous family-owned Maderia Company established in 1850. This is where the cask were first used to mature wine made from luscious Tinta Negra Mole grapes before being transported to The Glenfiddich Distillery. Brian Kinsman, the Glenfiddich Malt Master and only the sixth in the history since the Distillery was built in 1886, has personally selected the Glenfiddich Scotch Whiskies used to create this exclusive Glenfiddich Madeira Cask Finish and the first in their Glenfiddich Age of Discovery range.

Published: Sunday, April 15, 2012 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 16, 2012 at 8:11 a.m.
Marco Antonio DeAnda-Vargas and a 23-year-old woman met at a dance class at Santa Rosa Junior College, police said. On the evening of March 15, they walked together after class to the closed Quinn Swim Center building. He somehow had a key, and they went inside to get out of the cold.
What's alleged to have happened next is an all too common scenario, according to police and advocates for victims of sexual assault.
DeAnda-Vargas, 31, is accused of raping his classmate. He denies the charges, according to the Sonoma County Public Defender's Office, and told police the encounter was consensual.
The allegations, which will get their first public airing at an April 25 court hearing, underscore one of the fundamental realities about rape in Sonoma County.
It's rarely a stranger who jumps out of the bushes.
Rape more often involves a trusted person who crosses a serious line. And it's often one person's word against another's.
"The thought never enters your mind that something like this is going to happen," said Chris Castillo, executive director of Verity, a nonprofit that operates the county's rape crisis center. "But it does."
Sexual assaults, a broader term that includes rape as well as other unwanted sexual contact, have dropped sharply in Sonoma County over the past eight years along with an overall decline in crime.
Still, more than twice a week someone reports a rape somewhere in Sonoma County. There were 123 forcible rapes reported in the county's nine cities and unincorporated areas in 2010, down from 206 in 2004.
The numbers likely understate the scope of the problem. As many as 54 percent of sexual assaults aren't reported to law enforcement, according to a U.S. Justice Department study.
Local advocates are holding events throughout April to raise awareness of sexual violence's enduring presence in all communities.
At Sonoma State University, student volunteers asked passing students to help hang multicolored T-shirts on clotheslines last week in Salazar Quad. The shirts featured messages from students who have experienced sexual violence.
"Yes, you did change my life! No, I will not let you ruin my life," one student wrote with red and green markers.
The two-day event kicked off a month of efforts including rallies, marches and demonstrations to recognize the prevalence of sexual violence.
Nearly 40 percent of rapists were considered a friend or acquaintance by their victims at the time of the crime, according to the Justice Department's 2005 National Crime Victimization Study.
"People think — he's a good guy, no one's going to believe me," said Santa Rosa Police Sgt. John Snetsinger, who runs the department's sex crimes unit.
Caitlin, a 21-year-old SSU senior who spoke on condition her last name was not published, knew something horrible had taken place when her brother's friend slipped into her bedroom and had sex with her when she was a junior at a Northern California high school.
But it took her four years to call it rape.
They both had been drinking that night at separate parties. He was a year younger than her but much stronger.
She remembered thoughts racing through her mind when he quietly opened the door and walked into her room: What is he doing? I'm sleeping. Why is he here?
"'What do you need?'" she remembered saying. "He kept consoling me, 'Don't think about it.'"
He took off his clothes. She thought about whether she could get past him and run for the door. She asked him to leave.
He took off her clothes. He made her perform oral sex. Then he had sex with her.
"I remember thinking, 'If I just don't fight, it I'll survive,'" she said.
She told her close girlfriends who characterized it as a "bad hookup."
The realization of why she still felt sick about what happened hit her like a truck last year during a SSU humanities class discussion on sexual assault.
"I had this epiphany, 'Oh, my God, I was raped,'" she said.
About 60 people call Verity's rape crisis hot line each week — a clear sign that the scope of the problem is significant, Castillo said.
Many people are calling about events that took place weeks, months and often years in the past, Castillo said.
Mitch Gutierrez, 21, an SSU senior majoring in criminal justice, began volunteering with Verity because he was shocked at how prevalent sexual assault was among his classmates.
"Rape and sexual assault — from what I've seen and what I've heard — it's normalized in college culture," Gutierrez said.
He's watched guys bringing drink after drink to girls. He's heard guys say they get girls drunk so they'll be willing to fool around.
Gutierrez said he knows two girls who dropped out after being sexually assaulted. He also knows a male student who was taken advantage of by a female student when he was passed out from drinking at a party.
"It's affected them tremendously and had lasting effects on their lives," Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez and a fellow volunteer drove Tuesday to Sonoma Valley High School to talk with students about sexual assault and harassment.
"In high school, I didn't think that sexual assault happened around me at all," Gutierrez said. "It wasn't really until I got into Sonoma State and into the party scene that I noticed that a lot of this is happening and a lot of people aren't reporting it."
Santa Rosa police took 73 reports of sexual assault in 2011, Snetsinger said. Those cases resulted in 43 arrests.
Most cases boil down to consent, Snetsinger said. There often are no witnesses beyond the accuser and the accused. Physical evidence may show only that sex occurred, he said.
"It's not an easy case because consent is the issue — who is more believable?" Snetsinger said.
A relative, lover, an authority figure, a new friend — there's no precise profile for perpetrators, except that many are known by the victim, Castillo said.
"The rare one is that someone goes in your window at night and does that to you," Castillo said. "Although it's happened."
More than two years ago, an unknown masked and gloved man attacked and sexually assaulted an SRJC teacher who was working in a theater arts building during a college break.
The Nov. 10, 2009, attack left the campus reeling. Campus police posted fliers with the sketchy outline of a man's face across campus.
A prime suspect never was identified and the man never was found. Snetsinger said his detectives ran out of leads.
The case was a shocking aberration on a generally safe campus, SRJC Police Chief Joseph Palla said.
Years can go by without reported rapes, Palla said. One forcible sexual crime was reported in 2008 and none in 2010, according to the college's online crime statistics.
SRJC police also still are investigating how DeAnda-Vargas obtained a key to the swim center. Palla said the man must have stolen or found one.
"He was not issued a key, and he was not authorized to possess any keys," Palla said.
County Public Defender Kathleen Pozzi said her office will argue no rape occurred. DeAnda-Vargas pleaded not guilty March 28 to charges of rape, sodomy and forced sexual penetration.
He is being held on $300,000 bail at the Sonoma County Jail. He can't be released because of an immigration hold, jail records show.
The legal case, like so many others, will hinge on consent, Snetsinger said. Only two people know what really happened.
"She was very comfortable going to a secluded place to talk and that trust was violated," he said.
If convicted, DeAnda-Vargas could be sent to prison, expelled from SRJC and deported.
Next week, SRJC police and staff will give tips on safety at a workshop planned in response to the alleged rape. Wednesday's workshop will be 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Newman Auditorium in Santa Rosa.

What's Prenton Park Like? | |
During 1994-95 the Club replaced three sides of the ground with new stands. Only the Main Stand on one side of the pitch was left intact. This stand is fair sized all seated, covered stand, that was opened in 1968. It is two tiered and contains a couple of supporting pillars. The ground though is dominated by the Kop Stand at one end of the stadium. This stand has a single tier which has a capacity of around 5,500 and dwarfs the rest of the ground (although interestingly the Main Stand has a larger capacity). It replaced a former open terrace. Opposite is the Cowshed Stand. This single tiered stand looks a little strange as one side of it has more rows than the other, giving a sloping effect. It has an electric scoreboard on its roof. On the other side is the Johnny King Stand (formerly the Borough Road Stand and now named after a former manager), which is small covered stand that runs the entire length of the pitch. | |

What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters? | |
Away fans are housed in the affectionately named Cowshed Stand at one end, where up to 2,500 fans can be accommodated. You will be relieved to know that the only connection with a real cowshed is the name, as the fairly new covered, all seated stand, has good facilities and unhindered views of the playing action. The concourses are of a good size and the acoustics of the stand good, meaning that away fans can really make some noise. Food inside includes; Double Burgers (£4), Cheeseburgers (£3.50), Burgers (£3), Hot Dogs (£3) and a selection of pies (£2.50). Normally the prospect of a day out in Birkenhead, doesn't do much to heighten expectations, but the ground is in a pleasant part of town. | |
Towards The Kop Stand |
Where To Drink? | |
main pub for away fans is the Prenton Park Hotel,
which is situated just across the road from the away
turnstiles. This normally has a good mix of home and
away supporters. There are also a number of other pubs
in walking distance of the ground. The Mersey Clipper,
behind the Main Stand tends to be for home fans only,
whilst The Sportsmans Arms on Prenton Road East is
more welcoming towards visiting supporters. Otherwise
alcohol is available in the away end. All fans please note, it is a criminal offence to drink alcohol on the streets of Birkenhead, you may find yourself being arrested if you do. |
How To Get There By Car & Where To Park | |
From M6/M56 join the
M53 and exit at Junction 4 and take the B5151 Mount
Road from the fourth exit of the roundabout (the
ground is signposted from here). After two and a
half miles when Mount Road becomes Storeton Road,
turn right at the traffic lights (there is a church
on the far right hand corner) into Prenton Road West
and the ground is down this road on the right hand
side. Post Code for SAT NAV: CH42 9PY |
John King Stand | |
By Train/Underground | |
closest railway stations are Rock Ferry and Birkenhead
Central, both served by Liverpool Lime Street. Both
stations are a fair walk from the ground. (15-20
minutes). Philip Jackman provides directions from Rock
Ferry station; 'Upon leaving Rock Ferry turn right and
walk up Bedford Road for a fair distance until you
reach a roundabout. At the roundabout, turn right into
Bebington Road and walk along this road until you
reach the Sportsman pub. Then turn left into Prenton
Road and you will reach the ground and away fans
turnstiles on your left.' Whilst Adam Hodson provides
directions from Birkenhead Central; 'On exiting the
station cross the road, turn right, then at the
roundabout turn Left onto Borough Road (A552 towards)
Heswall. Go through four sets of traffic lights
passing a Shell Garage on the on the left hand side
and at the 5th roundabout (signposted B5152
Clatterbridge and Tranmere Rovers FC), Walk straight
through onto Borough Road and the Ground is on the
right hand side after passing the Prenton Park Pub. It
took around 15 Minutes from the station'.
Alternatively you can get a bus to the ground from the
nearby Conway Bus Station, by making your way through the
Grange Shopping Precinct, which is located on the
opposite side of the main roundabout outside
Birkenhead Central Station. For bus services see
below. Tony Combes adds; 'If coming from Liverpool Lime Street, the nearest Merseyrail Underground is Conway Park (New Brighton and West Kirby lines), alighting and ascending to street level. You can then get a bus from Conway Park Bus Station which is within 100 yards on your right. Buses: 41, 42, 71, 72, 403, 413, 423 all take to you the bottom of Singleton Avenue which is the alighting point. The ground is then five minutes walk from here, heading along Borough Road. Alternatively, the 164, 177 and 464 will take you almost adjacent to the ground, alighting at the bus stop opposite Bogan's Carpets and the Prenton Park pub'. Remember if travelling by train then you can normally save on the cost of fares by booking in advance. Visit the thetrainline website to see how much you can save. |

National Geographic's recent special on 9/11 reflected the CIA's spin on the world. It was filled with conjecture based on bad sources, and a few outright falsehoods. As is the case with so many CIA products, it avoided the distinction between what we know and what the U.S. government wants to believe. In doing so, it gave the impression that we know things that we do not.
Here are a few illustrations.
The program claims that in the 1980s, Peshawar was swarming with CIA agents. In fact, there were exactly zero in direct contact with the Mujahideen there (or anywhere else). The Islamabad CIA station had one-and-a-half full-time staff working on Afghanistan, and did so exclusively through Pakistan's security service, the ISI. This was agency policy. The first introductions between CIA officers and the Mujahideen were not even made until October 1984.
The program quoted the CIA line that Osama bin Laden escaped to Pakistan. Not only is there no evidence for this, but there is no evidence of bin Laden's continued existence after November 2001. This, after the world's most thorough manhunt. The several bin Laden tapes have never been credible, and no reputable person claims to have seen him.
National Geographic gave the impression that bin Laden was the focal point, the deus ex machina, of anti
The CIA's principal fault in its intelligence collection has always been that its "case officers," who are not actually agents, play at intelligence. Case officers have neither the policies, the skills, nor the courage to undertake real undercover work. And so they take what they are told and call it good.
Experience demonstrates that the CIA often thinks it has the upper hand while being taken for a ride by foreign serviceshostiles and "friendlies" alike. When we have actually come upon intelligence windfalls, like Germany's Stasi files, we have discovered that nearly all the CIA's agents were actually were working for the other side. Most recently, the CIA's vaunted ROCKSTARS operation in Iraqon the basis of which part of the April 2003 attack was plannedturns out to have been managed by Saddam.
The role of states in terrorismIraq, Syria, Iran, the PLOis at the heart of disputes over U.S. foreign policy. Yet the CIA has bent over backwards to deny their role. The program reflects this. It first states that Ramzi Youssef arrived in the U.S. "with a perfectly forged Iraqi passport." The photocopy we have, however, shows no evidence of forgery, meaning that the guy came from Baghdad (and returned there) as someone known and accepted by the Iraqi authorities. Why believethe CIA's and the program's unspoken assumptionthat he's neither Ramzi Youssef nor Iraqi?
According to the CIA (accepted by National Geographic) his real name and unforged identity are supposedly reflected in the Kuwaiti document he presented to New York's Pakistani consulate while obtaining the passport he used to leave the U.S. after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. And it is only on the basis of that presumed identity (one Abdul Karim), that he can be believed to beas CIA believes and the program statedKhalid Sheikh Mohammed's nephew. The trouble is that Karim's document says that he's is 5' 8" tall, whereas Ramzi Youssef, sitting in the federal pen in Colorado, is 6' tall.
The program mentions that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's interrogation "provided details" of the 9/11 plot. Embellishment is more accurate. He shed light on nothing. He talked a lot about bin Laden's alleged day
There is no doubt that a number of Islamic radicals were recruited for the plot. It is not clear by whom, with what understanding, or with what documentation. But one thing is beyond doubt, and it wasn't mentioned in the program: According to surveillance cameras, the faces of nine or so of the hijackers who boarded the planes of September 11 did not correspond to the names on their visas. In fact, one Saudi identified as a hijacker called a TV station to say that he was alive, had nothing to do with the plot, and had reported his passport stolen in Denver two years before.
The National Geographic program not only left out key information, but reaffirmed the impressionentirely misleadingthat terrorism has nothing to do with states. The CIA's continues to press this point onto the American people. We can only wish that the agency worked as craftily with America's enemies.

WALLINGFORD, Conn., Jan. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Electronics DNE Technologies announced the availability of Release 1.1 operating software for its PacketAssure iQ line of Service Delivery Managers (SDMs).
"Release 1.1 software heralds a new level of automated capability for the PacketAssure product line," said Charles Reese, Vice President, Sales & Marketing at DNE Technologies. "A rate-adaptive transmission device, such as a digital troposcatter modem, adjusts its data transmission rate as atmospheric conditions change, yet traffic management policies traditionally remain static until operators intervene. The PacketAssure can now automatically adjust its Class of Service (CoS) parameters to ensure optimum bandwidth allocation, regardless of the operational data rate. This feature demonstrates DNE's continued commitment to reducing lifecycle costs associated with IP networking."
This feature, known as Adaptive Transport, Auto CoS (ATAC), supports 23 individual data rates from 64 Kbps to 22 Mbps, and includes a library of preconfigured CoS profiles to ensure rapid setup. Network operators can adjust these CoS profiles to address real-time changes in mission requirements. Once set, the entire system runs without further operator intervention, regardless of bandwidth changes, creating a highly mobile, quickly deployable Quality of Service solution for serial-based transport.
The PacketAssure iQ1000 AND iQ1000e Service Delivery Managers with Release 1.1 software will be generally available in March 2011. Pricing starts at $17,000 USD.

Photoelectric sensors with Clear Object Detection detect transparent, opaque objects
The GLV18 series of photoelectric sensors with Clear Object Detection, made by Pepperl+Fuchs, detect objects to a contrast as low as 18 percent.
GLV18 Series photoelectric sensors with Clear Object Detection are now available from Pepperl+Fuchs. Clear object detection models use reflectors to detect transparent objects up to 2.5 m away, or opaque objects up to 5 m away. These sensors can detect transparent objects to a contrast as low as 18%, including objects as transparent as glass or a clear film. They carry the CE mark, and are UL/cUL Listed.
"The primary benefit of clear object detection is the ability to consistently detect transparent materials such as a glass bottle, PET plastic, a web of shrink-wrap, or protective bubble wrap," says Jeff Allison, Product Manager. "Other types of photoelectric sensors would not consistently detect clear objects because the transmitted light would optically burn through the material, but GLV18 series clear object detection sensors are designed to detect such materials."
These sensors come in an industry-standard M18 threaded cylindrical housing that is purportedly up to 50% shorter and with up to 50% lower power consumption than many competitive models. As a result, they are allegedly more likely to fit into space-critical equipment or installations and are less costly to operate - and as lower power consumption enables each power supply to power more sensors, fewer power supplies may be needed in a given application.
GLV18 series sensors also include a unique flush-mount bracket that allows for a simple, tool-less, unobtrusive means of mounting the sensor on a conveyor. Ball-and-swivel and half-clamp mounting brackets are also available to facilitate precise positioning of GLV18 series sensors.
Status LEDs are highly visible and placed in dual positions, 180 degrees apart on the housing, for increased visibility. Additionally, status LED functionality is purportedly standardized, meaning that GLV18 sensors don't just indicate they are powered and see a target, but also indicate if the sensor's signal strength is lower than it should be so that corrective action can be taken.
GLVL18 series sensors are suited for use in material handling applications, primarily for detecting clear shrink-wrap webs or semi-transparent trays or cartons. They are also well suited for use in packaging applications including, among others, presence detection of clear clamshells, bottles, or pouch webstock. Additionally, the GLV18 series is a very reliable general purpose sensor family that can be used in a number of other markets, including mylar detection in printing/paper applications, and glass detection in automotive applications.

Art Meripol
Even in summer, The Tea Room ([912] 239-9690) on Broughton Street offers a wonderful respite. Though afternoon tea ($20) requires reservations, this mini-meal features a three-tiered tray of goodies that includes tea sandwiches and sweets, as well as scones, jam, and clotted cream.A visit to Savannah calls for a big Southern breakfast. Firefly Cafe ([912] 234-1971) serves breakfast Tuesday through Saturday. Come for the fine Sunday brunch, and try the local version of eggs Benedict ($9.95) served with lump crabmeat. The Original Pankake Palace ([912] 356-5877) serves breakfast 24 hours a day. Start with the light, fluffy pancakes, and go from there.Soho South Cafe ([912] 233-1633) also offers Sunday brunch, but it's a great place for lunch most any day. Be sure to try the smoked ham, Brie, and apple slices piled on a warm baguette ($8.75) or a cup of tomato-basil bisque ($2.95).Savannah legend Sema Wilkes passed away in 2002, but her great-grandson Ryon Thompson has assumed leadership at Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room ([912]232-5997). Though now only open 11 a.m.-2 p.m., people still stand in line for the heaping helpings of fried chicken and all manner of Southern sides served family style ($13).For dinner, I return again and again to The Olde Pink House ([912]232-4286) on Abercorn Street. My absolute favorites here include Caesar salad topped with crispy cornmeal-crusted fried oysters ($9.95) and local shrimp served with country ham and a grits cake ($8.95).Elizabeth on 37th ([912] 236-5547) was the first to put Savannah on the nation's culinary map, and it remains an ideal place to celebrate a special occasion. For super casual dining, head out to Tybee Island for the popular Low Country Boil ($12.99) at The Crab Shack ([912]786-9857).Savannah residents gave a collective shout when Leopold's Ice Cream ([912] 234-4442) reopened on Broughton Street. Tutti-Frutti ($2.85 for a scoop) remains the most sought-after flavor, but ask for samples to determine your favorite. For more sweets, stop by Back In The Day Bakery ([912] 495-9292) for a homemade 'Nana Pudding ($3.25) or a Baby Cake (starts at $6.95) topped with buttercream frosting.
When people find out that I'm a travel writer, they always ask, "Where's your favorite place?" I often wax poetic about recent trips and new discoveries, but, invariably, all roads lead to Savannah.
I feel more at home in Savannah than anyplace I've ever visited. While the city's popularity has grown in recent years, it still maintains its small-town personality. What's more, few places rival the historic district's physical beauty.
I've spent almost a decade exploring this city, and, each time I visit, I discover something new. Come along as I share some of my favorites, both the new kids on the block and the tried-and-true. I hope you'll end up loving Savannah as much as I do.
Shop Till You Drop
Some of the most exciting shops can be found in the new Downtown Design District, on Whitaker Street between Charlton Lane and Gaston. No matter what else I have to do, I always make time for One Fish Two Fish ([912]447-4600) at the corner of Whitaker and Jones. Here Jennifer Beaufait Grayson offers an eclectic mix of painted furniture, vintage pieces, and collectibles.
Savannah Fine Linens ([912] 447-5885) dazzles with sumptuous sheets, duvet covers, and pillows, as well as table linens. Be sure to walk down the street to see the amazing finds at Architectural Elements ([912]844-1320).
For a more contemporary viewpoint, head to 24e. ([912] 233-2274) on Broughton Street. This lush store offers sleek, modern furniture and accessories. Nearby, The Paris Market & Brocante ([912] 232-1500) features all things French, from antiques to lavender soap.
For a peek at what the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) students are creating, stop at ShopSCAD ([912] 525-5180) on Bull Street. This unique store swells with cutting-edge paintings and photographs, as well as handmade jewelry and pottery. Book lovers must stop by independently owned E. Shaver, Bookseller ([912] 234-7257) just around the corner.
I can't leave Savannah without strolling through the fabulous art galleries. One my favorites, Iona's Gallery and Great Finds ([912]236-1576) at the corner of Abercorn and Congress, offers paintings, jewelry, and home furnishings.
Sweet Slumber
Savannah has lodging for any budget and any personality. I love waking up at the Hamilton-Turner Inn ($175-$350). Guests can split their time between the inn and the owners' beach house on nearby Tybee Island. For a romantic getaway, few places rival the elegance and service of The Gastonian ($215-$415).
If you prefer a hotel, The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa ($149-$249) across the river on Hutchinson Island can't be beat. Alternatives include the DoubleTree Hotel Historic Savannah ($109-$189) and the Hampton Inn Savannah Historic District ($130-$210), both on Bay Street. For more information see box at left.
What To See and Do
Savannah's founding father, James Oglethorpe, had the good sense to arrange the houses and public buildings around a series of public squares. Today, 21 of the original 24 remain. A number of companies offer tours, ideal for a first visit. After that, explore the squares at your own pace.
To learn more about local cuisine, attend a demonstration at Chef Joe Randall's Cooking School($45-$65; [912] 303-0409). Visitors garner recipes, history, and helpful hints on how to make local favorites at home. Best of all, guests get "a little South in your mouth" when chef Joe gets through cooking.
Among the cultural treasures in the historic district reside some of the country's most beautiful churches. None is more compelling than the First African Baptist Church on Franklin Square. Built by slaves in 1859, it was once a stop on the Underground Railroad. Church elders will show you the holes drilled in the floor to funnel fresh air to escaped slaves hiding in the tunnels below. Call (912) 233-6597 to schedule a free tour.

Healthy Winter Vegetables
Wednesday, January 23, 2013By: Kendra Moffett
Many people believe that the winter months are not conducive to growing vegetables. This incorrect notion is not only, but is preventing people from experiencing the wonderfully nutritious vegetables that are grown during these colder months.
Artichokes are a great source of Vitamin C, and they also help to aid in digestion. It is important to remove the thorns before consuming this vegetable. Artichokes go great on salads, sandwiches, and almost everything else. They add a yummy, sweet and bitter flavor to any dish.

Medical Mishap Stories for Cash
Wednesday, January 16, 2013By: Kendra Moffett
Medical maladies and mishaps are bound to happen to each individual at least once in their lifetime. Whether it is a misdiagnosis, an improper stitch sewn to your wound, or even just the lack of funds to pay for a treatment at that moment.
However, Julie Rovner from NPR states, "there's at least one good thing about the country's inability to control health costs. If you can write a compelling essay about a problem, you could win a thousand bucks."

Canines for a Cure: How Man's Best Friend Can Help Defeat Depression
Friday, January 11, 2013By: Kendra Moffett
Man's best friend may be more important to your mental health than you might think. According to Ian Cook, MD, a psychiatrist and director of the Depression Research and Clinic Program at UCLA,
"Pets offer an unconditional love that can be very helpful to people with depression." Simply petting a dog or being in their presence has been shown to reduce tension and hypertension in some individuals.

Fresh Produce in Cold Months
Wednesday, December 12, 2012By: Kendra Moffett
Many people have the incorrect notion that you can't find fresh vegetables and produce in the winter months that provide nutritious salads and other main dishes. Luckily, that idea could not be farther from the truth. In fact, many farmers are preparing right now for upcoming winter farmer's markets in these next few months.

Read for Leisure and Read for Your Mental Health
Tuesday, November 13, 2012By: Kendra Moffett
Autumn can be a wonderfully relaxing time of the year, with the weather cooling off, and new festive activities becoming more and more abundant. Although for many college students, when the foliage starts to change, so does the pace of schoolwork. And fall is always a time for exams, which can be taxing on your mental health. It is also a time of increased risk of sickness as cold and flu season encroaches.

Note to Readers: The following article was written by Greg Spear, a college-bound senior at Oxford High School. As part of his high school Capstone project (click here for more information about Capstone), Spear attended a presentation at Western Connecticut State University given by the Prime Minister of Tibet, Lobsang Sangay, Ph. D. The lecture was given on Feb. 21.
The university allowed Greg to attend the news conference, take photos and interview the prime minister. Greg's mentor for the project was journalist Luke Marshall.
DANBURY - Lobsang Sangay, Ph. D, Tibet's prime minister-in-exile, presented his lecture, "Democracy in Exile: The Case for Tibet," at Western Connecticut State University on Feb. 21.
WCSU President James W. Schmotter introduced Sangay to the packed Ives Concert Hall.
The prime minister, who is also known as the Kalon Tripa, set the tone for his speech with an opening comment that being in Southern Connecticut, he found himself in exile from Red Sox Nation just as he is the prime minister in exile from Tibet. Sangay gave attendees an overview of his path to success.
Born in the Indian refugee village of Darjeeling in 1968, Sangay said he lived in an area with nothing but fields, cows, chickens and other livestock. Unaware of his real birth date, he, like other refugee children, was given the birth date of March 10, he said. This is Tibet's National Uprising Day, which is equivalent to Independence Day in the United States.
He said his primary childhood chore was gathering firewood for his family and the village. He attended the Tibetan Refugee School in Darjeeling where he said he ate dumplings and rice every night. Sangay joked with the audience in Danbury that eating the dumplings showed proof that Isaac Newton's third law was wrong.
"When they hit the ground, like a rock, the dumplings bounced right back up," he quipped.
Sangay, who is a senior fellow in the East Asian Legal Studies Program at Harvard Law School, told the audience that in 2010, his friends, almost as a joke, nominated him for the 2011 election for Kalon Tripa. Sangay's first reaction was to laugh it off, he said. Despite his indifference, he said he found the exiled Tibetan community was taking him seriously. He said it got to the point where he couldn't remove himself from the race.
On April 27, 2011, much to his surprise, Sangay won the election, beating out two other candidates. This was important for Tibet as the Kalon Tripa became an important political position when the Dalai Lama abdicated his role as political leader of Tibet, essentially separating the political leadership of the region. Sangay now found himself as the prime minister in exile. Unlike many political leadership roles, his position comes with no cabinet, no assistants, no Congress or Parliament. It does, however, come with what Sangay described as a "modest salary" - $352 a month.
Sangay said he attended WCSU as part of his mission to educate the world on Chinese repression of the Tibetan people. He reminded his audience that the issue is about Tibetan autonomy, not Tibetan independence from China. He said he hopes Chinese people respect and recognize the Tibetan culture and history. He reminded people of the recent acts of self-immolation of Buddhist Monks and Tibetan residents; he used those as examples of the gravity of the situation. Upon these emotional conveyances, the audience stood and thunderously applauded Sangay's comments.
In a post-speech news conference, reporters asked Sangay what he would like to see people do to help Tibet. He answered simply - "Spread the word." He said the best thing anyone can do is to create awareness of the oppression of the Tibetan people by the Chinese. This can be done one-on-one, friend-to-friend, or even more directly, by contacting the U.S. State Department and urging them to pressure China to reconsider its relationship with Tibet, he said.
Sangay plans to continue his promotion of the Tibetan cause through symposiums, meetings with government officials and lectures like the one at WCSU. He is convinced Tibet's present relationship with China can be resolved.
About Lobsang Sangay
After finishing his local schooling in Sonada and Darjeeling, Lobsang Sangay attended the University of Delhi, where he received a Bachelor's degree and Bachelor of Laws degree. In 1995, he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to Harvard Law School, where he received his Master's of Law degree, which would eventually lead him into a political career. He's organized seven major conferences between Chinese, Tibetan, Indian and Western scholars and two meetings at Harvard University between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Chinese scholars.
In 2004, Sangay became the first Tibetan among 6 million to earn a Doctor of Juridical Science, Harvard Law School's most advanced law degree. In 2006, the Asia Society selected him as one of "the 24 Young Leaders of Asia." The Asia Society is a global organization that works to strengthen relationships and promote understanding among the people, leaders, and institutions of Asia and the United States. Interestingly, Sangay has never stepped foot in his own country and if he did, would be subject to immediate arrest.

Richard Thompson On World Cafe
By editor
Originally published on Mon April 1, 2013 3:08 pm
Richard Thompson started playing in "The British Byrds," Fairport Convention, when he was only 17. Here, he talks about the band's youthful ambition and his subsequent work as a guitarist-for-hire for the likes of Nick Drake — all before the remarkable solo career that leads us to his new album, Electric, recorded in Nashville with guitarist Buddy Miller producing.
We hear the story behind "The Snow Goose," a ballad made more stark played on acoustic guitar. We and our World Cafe studio audience never tire of Thompson's playing, as his World Cafe visits hit double digits.
