Blue Cheese Garlic Bread Recipe
This is a great way to dress up an ordinary loaf of bread. Serve slices as an appetizer or with a meal. Kevalyn Henderson, Hayward, Wisconsin
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced chives
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French bread
- In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Cut bread into 1-in.-thick slices, but not all the way through, leaving slices attached at the bottom. Spread cheese mixture between slices.
- Wrap loaf in a large piece of heavy -duty foil (about 28-in. x 18-in.). Fold foil around bread and seal tightly. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm. Yield: 10 servings.

Clancy DuBos / Political Columnist
COMMENTARY: Super Bowl XLVII is off to a great start, but it's not too early to plan for Super Bowl LII.
Yesterday, the chairman of the local host committee announced that New Orleans wants to get in the hunt for that game. That's a great idea.
When it comes to sprucing up a city, there's nothing like a deadline. And as we saw this year, there's no better or more effective deadline than a Super Bowl. Equally important, the 2018 Super Bowl would kick off New Orleans' tercentennial celebration.
Putting together a winning bid won't be easy. The stakes seem to get higher every year. But timing is also a key factor, and right now — with the world's media and the NFL brass in town for this year's game — the timing is perfect for New Orleans to launch a campaign to bring the Super Bowl back to New Orleans in 5 years.
Of course, it helps that everyone in town for the game is already having a great time. It will help even more if things continue to go well the rest of this week. Let's all remember that when we encounter our guests.

Two Fort Campbell soldiers died in Afghanistan after their unit was struck by an improvised explosive device, military authorities said.
Killed on Monday were 23-year-old 2nd Lt. Justin Lee Sisson of Phoenix and 20-year-old Spc. Robert Allan Pierce of Panama, OK. They were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.
Sisson joined the Army about a year ago after graduating from Florida State University. Pierce joined in April 2011 and served in Korea before arriving at Fort Campbell last August.
Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear ordered flags at all state office buildings lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on the day of each soldier's interment. Arrangements are pending for both.
Sisson's awards include one Bronze Star Medal (posthumous), Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon and the Sapper Badge.
Pierce's awards include a National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and an Overseas Service Ribbon.
Sisson's survivors include his parents, Kevin B. Sisson and Phyllis M. Sisson, both of Phoenix. Pierce is survived by his spouse, Christian M. Pierce of Huntington, AR, and parents, Randy R. Pierce of Panama and Lonnetta R. Dart of Hartford, AR.
A memorial ceremony will be conducted in Afghanistan.

Regardless of the spin and counter-spin around the various Iraq reports, a key domestic political fact – perhaps the most fundamental fact – is once again being buried in the debate. It only takes 51 Senators to end the
It is obviously true, as many have pointed out, that 51 Senators could cut off funding for the war, simply by not voting to approve it. But to make funding the sole focus significantly understates the case, and contributes to the utterly false and harmful notion that cutting off funding is the only thing Senators can do.
It was clear in previous Senate votes that there were not 51 Senators who were willing to stand firm on any position in effective opposition to the President. There were not 51 Senators willing to stand firm on a timetable for withdrawal, even stated as a goal. There were not 51 Senators willing to stand firm on a popular prohibition against forcing soldiers to serve longer deployments than they spend at home – a prohibition that all sides agreed would force troop withdrawals.
It's true that under current Senate rules, on a free-standing bill, 60 votes would be needed on an
With less than 60 votes, the Senate attached a timetable for withdrawal. The President, as expected, vetoed the legislation. Then the Senate backed down.
There was no legal or constitutional reason for the Senate to back down. It was a political decision. As a legal matter, the outcome of a confrontation where the Senate and the President agree to fund something, but don't agree on the legislative language to go along with the funding, is undetermined. It's just a question of who blinks first. The Senate could have agreed to continue funding on a temporary basis while the confrontation continued – that's what the House did – but 51 Senators didn't have the stomach for that either.
Majority Leader Reid explained the Senate's climb down by saying that he did not have a real Democratic majority on
But now Tim Johnson is back. That makes 50. The Senate Democrats – if they stick together – just need one Republican to stay with them to have a majority. Chuck Hagel – who now has a completely free hand, since he's not running for any office – and Gordon Smith have voted with the Democrats on
In July, Reid refused to bring a bipartisan compromise measure to the floor, on the theory that Republicans would be pressured during the recess to support a timetable for withdrawal.
Why then should this scenario not be allowed to play out? Why should there not be a clean Senate vote on a timetable for withdrawal and other provisions that could effectively constrain the President? In the worst case, we would see an effective repeat of past Senate votes, with a majority supporting, but not sticking to, constraining measures, after which Reid could, if he wants, negotiate a "bipartisan compromise" that would almost surely be less binding. But there is no reason for such a compromise to be the focus of discussion now, when we have yet to see the clean Senate votes on more binding measures that were promised in July. Let the Senate be counted. We have a right to see who the Senators are who are standing in the way of ending the war.

Top Teachers: Stephanie Tucker
Crestview E.S., preschool
Years spent working in the mortgage industry left Stephanie Tucker with a vacant feeling. During a drive past a Henrico school one day, she saw a sign inviting applications for an instructional assistant position. She interviewed and soon had a job at Crestview Elementary working in one of the school's Head Start preschool classes (now known as Federal Programs Preschool).
"It was like a light bulb went on," Tucker said.
Six years later, she realizes every day that she made the right decision.
"As a kid, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I came back to that, I just knew this is where I needed to be."
From her perch on the front line of preschool education, Tucker has seen the difference it can make for students.
"Preschool is such a critical age," Tucker said. "You can turn on or turn off a child's love of learning. If you've got a nurturing, safe environment, then you're giving them one of the tools that they need to be successful.
"It's really wonderful that the public is really embracing preschool as more than daycare."
Though the program at Crestview, and those at other Henrico elementaries, pull students from different attendance zones, some of Tucker's students have continued at Crestview. Several of her first students are now fifth-graders at the school whose continued development she has enjoyed watching.
"Mrs. Tucker rolls up her sleeves and brings joy and determination to the classroom," one nominator wrote. "Her students are higher needs [students] but she does not see them as such. Her zest for engaging them is limitless."
For Tucker, it's a simple concept.
"Kids are kids, and their basic needs are that they want to be safe and happy, and they want to learn," she said. "If you can provide that, then they're successful."
For the youngsters in her class, there is amazement in some of life's simplest lessons, such as watching caterpillar larvae turn into butterflies or taking a nature walk.
"So many kids, depending on their background, that's not happened in their life," she said. "That's a great experience. One of the neatest things about it is that kids that age are just 'eyes wide open,' unbiased about everything around them. Everything is exciting. I get so much from them by watching all those 'ah-ha' moments.
"One thing I think is important is that children absolutely deserve respect. They need to feel that they're valued. Every child deserves that. Most times when you give a child respect, then you get that back from them."

Al Sharpton: Rick Santorum is Racist for Saying 'America Was Great Before 1965'
As NewsBusters has been reporting for weeks, one of the goals of the Obama-loving media is to depict every possible Republican presidential candidate as racist.
On Monday's "MSNBC Live," substitute host Al Sharpton implied that newly announced candidate Rick Santorum was making a racist comment when he said at Saturday's Faith and Freedom Conference, "America was a great country before 1965" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
AL SHARPTON, SUBSTITUTE HOST: Santorum today said that America was great before 1965 in his announcement. I mean, what is he talking about? Was he talking about the Voting Rights Act?
PAT BUCHANAN: Who are you talking about?
SHARPTON: That's what I remember happening in '65 from my studies.
BUCHANAN: Who are you talking about? The Eisenhower and Kennedy, this was a magnificent, Al Sharpton. Did it have problems?
SHARPTON: Why did he use the year '65? What signal is it sending?
BUCHANAN: Who are you talking about? Who used it?
SHARPTON: Rick Santorum has said America was great before '65. What is the, what is the significance of '65? Is he sending a signal here?
BUCHANAN: I think in '65 is one of the years we really got ourselves deeply involved in Vietnam, the Democratic Party came apart and lost 47 seats
SHARPTON: Oh, so rick Santorum was attacking our involvement in Vietnam?
BUCHANAN: Well, I don't know what he was attacking, but why would you pick out the Voting Rights Act? You're hung up on that stuff, Al.
SHARPTON: That's one of the great things that happened in '65 that he may have been referring to. Bill?
BILL PRESS: Al Sharpton, Al Sharpton, you know better than anybody what it was like particularly in the south of this country in 1965. But I think what it shows is what the Republicans mean when they say they want to take back America. Yeah, they want to take America back to 1965, if not to 1950 before Brown v. Board of Education.
You know what else happened of great significance in 1965? Medicare was created, and that's what Santorum was talking about.
As reported by Talking Points Memo Saturday:
Obama, Santorum said, thinks that it's the nation's safety net that helps to define America's greatness. This is an example of Obama missing the point about America's inherent exceptional nature, Santorum said. Social conservatives know that America had it goin' on before there was a social welfare system.
"There's one statement that everyone in this room should remember that the President of the United States says, that sums up how the President looks at America," Santorum said. "He said it about 6 weeks ago."
As TPM noted, this is what Obama said on April 13 in response to Congressman Paul Ryan's (R-Wisc.) budget proposal:
Part of this American belief that we are all connected also expresses itself in a conviction that each one of us deserves some basic measure of security. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, hard times or bad luck, a crippling illness or a layoff, may strike any one of us. "There but for the grace of God go I," we say to ourselves, and so we contribute to programs like Medicare and Social Security, which guarantee us health care and a measure of basic income after a lifetime of hard work; unemployment insurance, which protects us against unexpected job loss; and Medicaid, which provides care for millions of seniors in nursing homes, poor children, and those with disabilities. We are a better country because of these commitments. I'll go further - we would not be a great country without those commitments.
Santorum said the following as a result:
He was talking about Medicare, Medicaid, and unemployment insurance, and it was in response to the Ryan budget. And he said this, talking about these three programs: He said, "America is a better country because of these programs. I will go a one step further: America is a great country because of these programs." Ladies and gentlemen, America was a great country before 1965.
Did this have anything to do with the Voting Rights Act? Or Brown v. Board of Education? Or race?
Not at all, but that's the impression created by Sharpton and Press.
Now in reality, it took me about five seconds on Google to find what Santorum said Saturday as well as what he was referring to.
Do the folks at MSNBC lack the resources to uncover what prominent political officials are saying without so badly misrepresenting them absent any factual basis?
Is this really what qualifies as journalism at this so-called "news network?"
Are there any fact-checking standards at this organization anymore, or is all fair in love of Obama?

Santorum just threw in that crap about Medicare etc. to hide the fact that he was really talking about the Civil Rights Act. Sharpton "knows" that 1965 is a "code word" for the Civil Rights Act.

Santorum is running for VP, at best
Submitted by Texndoc on Mon, 06/06/2011 - 10:24pm.
I think the guy was born with both feet in his mouth and he'd be a drag on the ticket in the 2nd slot (he has ZERO chance of being on the top). His last election he got trounced and Conservatives remember his marching with Arlen Specter over Toomey. So who would support him over Marco Rubio who could attract the Hispanic vote? Santorum screams "nerd" to me, and considering his famous Google/BING/Yahoo search problem - that's probably an improvement. What would he add to a ticket? zero

"So who would support him over Marco Rubio who could attract the Hispanic vote?"
This is what we hear all the time in media. Isn't it a sad state of affairs, when people will vote for someone simply due to their race or ethnicity? If Rubio got more Hispanics because he is one, or if Obama gets more blacks because he is one, both are equally stupid scenarios, but unfortunately they are true.

The only ones who should be
Submitted by dscott on Tue, 06/07/2011 - 1:30am.
The only ones who should be first, actually eligible, are those who are competent regardless of sex or color or any other foolish political consideration. There is no such thing as first IF the criteria is merit. The whole notion of first black or first woman or first hispanic is just self moralizing PC BS to foster more victimization under the guise of descrimination by political con artists. If you want equality, then be equal.

Do the folks at MSNBC lack the resources to uncover what prominent political officials are saying without so badly misrepresenting them absent any factual basis?
Is this really what qualifies as journalism at this so-called "news network?"
1: No.
2: Yes
They just don't care. They are desperate for ratings and think this kind of trash talk is what will do it for them.

The rest is history. The media piled on unmercifully and by the time Obama had secured the nomination, former media darling and the "First Black President", Bill Clinton, was a pariah in his own party, with Hillary close behind. All because they dared to criticize Obama.
Why would the MSM and the professional race baiters like Sharpton hesitate for a second to apply the same tactic to any and every Republican candidate?

African-Americans have made
Submitted by jdhawk on Mon, 06/06/2011 - 10:30pm.
African-Americans have made the most remarkable transformation of any ethnic group on the planet. Think about it. In just over a 100 years, they went from slaves, to one of the richest, most famous, most talented, most respected ethnic groups on the planet. If they were a nation of people separate from other Americans, they would be the 18th richest nation on the planet. They are world renowned for their contributions to mathematics, science, economics, arts, and athletics. You name it.
So, Al Sharpton, STFU. It is high time that this victimization of the African-Americans stop. It's just embarrassing and trite. Your blathering is tiresome and banal.
You are a dinosaur. Just go away.

I've said this before..............so I want to be consistant. I don't see too many 'African-Americans' lining up at the harbors or airport with their bags packed, wanting to move back to Africa. And it really rankles my okole ( Hawaiian for 'rear-end') that a lot of these 'African-Americans' buy into these TOTAL race-baiters like Sharpton, Jackson..........and the endless list of other big-mouth gum-flappers who wouldn't be able to make a living if they weren't encouraging the whole 'race' issue.
And one 'racist' African-American that I WISH would go back to his 'home country' (he is on record for that statement - I didn't make it up) is our moronic poser-in-chief Barry O'Blunder...............

I remember life before '65.
Submitted by mostlymoderate on Mon, 06/06/2011 - 10:34pm.
I remember life before '65. It was great. People in my town rarely even locked their doors at night. Crime was much lower. Much fewer people in prison. Drug use was very low. The country had so much money it was able to finance things like NASA and prepare to send people to the moon. Very few rapes...
Music was better, porn didn't really exist. I would love to go back pre-1965. Sharpton can stick it.

Looks like Al lost some

Looks like Al lost some weight there.
Kennedy's challenge to go to the moon happened before 1965. http://www.space-video.info/speech/19620912-jfk-rice.html
That was a time of optimism of the future, nothing like we have now. Nothing like a liberal to make people feel all glum and suicidal. By the time Carter was done with the US, the people were fed up with his malaise, Reagan like Kennedy pointed to the future, a doable future where people worked today for a tangible goal tomorrow. Liberals have no such vision. That is the essence of Santorum's message. Of course many of us older farts have nostalgic memories of the 60's, ones that don't involve Al Sharpton and his race baiting. No decade is without it's failings, but the 1960s had it highs as well, this one maniacally so.

TR has found that assessing a late fee is a great way to motivate students/parents to register early.
You can automatically charge a late using the Late Fee Info page in the Fee and Payment Set-up section of the AP Registration Site Configuration. You can enter the date you wish the system to assess a late fee to any student registering after this deadline.
If you would students to be able to register themselves online during the late fee period(s), it is important that the registration end date is set beyond the late fee date. After the registration end date (set in the General Info Section) students cannot register themselves online and will need to come see you to register.
Schools even have the ability to charge tiered late fees where the cost increases each week. To set this up please click "Add Another Late Fee". Please note that the late fees are not cumulative, in other words, only the most recent late fee will be calculated, previous late fees will be ignored.
If you did not include the late fee in your initial set up of your registration site, you can still assess a late fee to students. This article explains how to charge a late fee after the deadline has passed.

A north suburban woman whose body was found Tuesday after she was reported missing died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, an autopsy has found.
The body, found near Libertyville late Tuesday, was that of Anne Stroll, 64, who had last been seen about 1 p.m. Monday by a neighbor who saw her get onto her bike in the driveway of her home on the 1700 block of Arrowwood Way.
Sheriff's police and Gurnee officers searched an area along north Milwaukee Avenue in unincorporated Libertyville on Tuesday, and found the body about 2 p.m. about half a mile from her home, officials said.
On Wednesday, the body was positively identified as that of Stroll, Lake County Chief Deputy Coroner Orlando Portillo said.
An autopsy found she died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, he said. Authorities have not yet ruled on the manner of her death pending toxicological results, which could take several weeks, Portillo said.
The sheriff's office said in a statement that its investigation also pointed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Her husband first alerted police when he returned home at 1:45 p.m. Monday after a doctor's appointment. He saw a note from his wife in the kitchen telling him that she had decided to go on a "short" bike ride before taking their golden retriever to a park.
When she didn't come back home to the gated community, he alerted police.
Stroll worked from home for a Bannockburn financial services firm, her husband said. The Omaha, Neb., native previously was an attorney for a healthcare system. The couple was married seven years ago.
Stroll has a son from a previous marriage living in Los Angeles.

During his visit to Old Trafford's treasure trove, the United veteran - on the brink of making his 1000th senior appearance in football - stopped off in the main trophy room, assessed Sir Alex's cup collection and reflected on his illustrious career with the Reds, including the unforgettable Treble campaign.
"It was just a brilliant season, a real rollercoaster season," he says of his greatest triumph with the Reds. "We were up against probably the best team I've faced in the Premier League in Arsenal. To pip them to both the league and FA Cup was brilliant, and to go on and win the European Cup topped it off."
In the first of this five-part ManUtd.com documentary, we asked Ryan to take a trip down memory lane and discuss his days making it as a young professional in United's youth ranks. Return each day this week for the latest instalment.

Police say Smith planned the attack to resolve the custody dispute between him and the Sinclair family. The girl and her mother were not hurt in the attacks. After killing five members of a Manchester family Smith was killed in a gunfight with police.

Congress could make a decision on a possible air strike in Syria in the next few days. A new poll says most oppose a US strike on Syria. There's a vigil being held tonight with people who are calling on the president to halt any possible attack.
Vietnam Veteran Chris Currie is speaking out against the president and a possible military air strike on Syria.
"I've lived in war in Vietnam and I know how horrible it can be. It looks like Obama is sponsoring an insurgency to take over the Syrian government," says Currie.
Currie is part of an online activist group called move on DOT.ORG. They're holding a vigil in Burnside park Tonight, in accord with others across the nation. Calling on President Obama to stop any possible attack on Syria.
"It won't really help, it will only make matters worse probably and it's immoral," explained Currie.
We caught up with Senator Jack Reed at an event in Bristol. He says the evidence linking the Assad Regime to the chemical weapons attack, that killed over a thousand, is pretty straightforward.
"It's a very strong case against the Assad Regime," said Senator Reed.
Senator Reed wouldn't say how he plans to vote, but did say what he feels the president needs to do if congress were to give the green light on an attack.
"I think he needs to make every effort to try to resolve this short of any type of military operation,"Reed said.
The UN's full report on evidence it collected that's expected to link the Syrian government to the chemical attacks, has not been released.
Another reason why Currie says hes protesting a US attack.
Currie said, "Why is he trying to rush us into war so fast, it's fishy."
Senator Reed confirmed congress could have a decision within the next few days. A vigil is scheduled at 7 PM in Burnside park in Providence Monday evening.

Everything was perfect
Review submitted: April 18, 2014 Date of arrival: April 12, 2014
I was so impressed with our stay at Areca. The view was stunning and we enjoyed every evening out on the veranda overlooking the ocean. Everything that you would expect from a luxury villa was present. Need i say more?
Diana was very helpful and responsive. The service was excellent. During our stay, the grill died. The very next day (which was a Sunday), we had a new grill by 1 pm without any requests/compliants on my part. This is St. John. They had to get a grill in St. Thomas, bring it over and put it together and did so by 1 pm. I appreciated the service and felt confident that she would be responsive to any request or emergency.
Villa is 10-15 minute ride to Cruz Bay and about 5 minutes from Trunk Bay. Peter Bay beach is very nice and wasnt used much during our stay. I highly recommend this villa

Truly a spectacular place...
Review submitted: March 12, 2014 Date of arrival: March 1, 2014
My family and I just came back from a week at Areca. After planning this trip for about a year, I was a bit nervous worrying if I was expecting too much or if the place could possibly be as nice as it looked online. We arrived after a long day of travelling, 10 of us, including 2 little ones. We met Diana at the car barge and she escorted us to the villa. Truly, none of us could believe the impressive drive to Areca and upon arrival, we were in awe of the spectacular views and the home which we would be calling ours for the week. It is spacious, comfortable, has lots of privacy and every amenity you could want. It is impossible to mention all the things we loved as it provided all of us beautiful accommodations, gorgeous pool, outstanding outside entertaining area, with grill, bar and comfy seating to have our evening cocktails and dinner. Areca is a perfect location...minutes to gorgeous North Shore beaches and 15 minutes to town. We ate out a few nights, hiked, checked out a few local late afternoon happy hours and were always happy to get back to Areca. Never will you tire of the views! The pool is wonderful, and several afternoons we just stayed put in relaxed, swam and dozed by the pool...There are lots of beach chairs, coolers, towels for your treks to the beaches. The kitchen had every thing you needed....extremely well equipped. Bathrooms and bedrooms very comfortable and private. Several days we hiked down to lower Peter Bay to the beach...great workout, especially on the way back! We will definitely be back to Areca....a lovely home and a very special place!!!

In one word....paradise!!
Review submitted: March 15, 2013 Date of arrival: March 3, 2013
Our adult children, spouses and significant others vacationed at Areca (eight of us) and it is difficult to put into words HOW wonderful our stay at Areca was!! We all needed to get away from it all and relax and total relaxation is what we got! The villa is absolutely beautiful with all the amenties you can ask for. The home and guest house and beautifully designed with large bedrooms and bathrooms, private balconies, and the outside veranda on the main house is the perfect spot for morning coffee and more than 180 degree views of the Caribbean. Our guys went deep sea fishing and caught Mahi Mahi and tuna which we ended up grilling for dinner. Eating in the dining area outside made it so enjoyable. The turquoise waters and white beaches lay just below the shoreline and if relaxing there isn't enough, the infinity pool, with chaise lounges and a hammock will certainly do the trick! Even tho' we had a few overcast days and a little rain, the warm trade wind breezes made those days equally enjoyable and everyone had a turn napping in the hammock. There are beautiful tropical plants all around the house and grounds and extremely private. Only the sound of the waves from the ocean and the tropical birds could be heard. Diana and Sam were so wonderful to deal with as well. Not having been to the islands, I had a million questions to ask before embarking on our trip and Diana was always quick to respond with very helpful information. Sam greeted us at the ferry dock and drove us to the villa, explaining everything about Areca and making us feel comfortable from the very start. We loved it at Areca and were actually depressed when we had to leave. You will NOT be disappointed with anything at Areca! It truly IS paradise. Next visit will have to be for TWO weeks!!! Thanks Diana and Sam for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

Wonderful villa -- stunning views!
Review submitted: August 5, 2012 Date of arrival: July 28, 2012
For our first family visit to st John, we wanted a great villa to accommodate 7 adults and a baby. The owner, Diana, was so easy to work with and so quick to help and volunteer all sorts of good info.
She met us at the dock with the rental car keys and then took us for the orientation tour.
The drive to the villa is so gorgeous, we knew we were in for a great experience. Bur when we arrived to Areca, we were just thrilled with what we found. That view(s )!!! The pool is beautiful and a nice size and gets sun all day! We loved sitting outside in the comfy lounge chairs or on the pool floats or pool bench watching the view. The interior of the villa is quality everywhere and classic good taste. A fully outfitted kitchen was used a lot, and we cooked out on the grill several nights in order to eat at the big table with the best view on the island. An outside ice maker , fridge and sink were handy. The furniture in the great room was the most comfy of any villa I have ever been in! Then, we had the same furniture upstairs in the smaller living area! Beds were amazing with wonderful linens and pillows! Wish I had the same!
The master was so big and spacious ( and bath and closet huge, also) with a big balcony and more comfy lounging area and VIEW! There is a nice king guest room upstairs, also, with balcony. The 3rd king guest room is on the main level, and was good for the person with a bad knee not to have to do stairs. The pool house has the other 2 bedrooms, and we only used the upstairs one ( only because of that upper view)! It is nice with a swell outdoor shower ( did I mention the view?) and plenty of room for the baby bed ( christys provisioning) , tho the villa has a nice pak n play we used, too.
They have plenty of pool floats and chairs -- ice chests to take to the beach, gobs of nice beach towels and washer dryer. The hammock on the pool deck was a great addition. They have landscaped this area so that you know you are in a tropical and private paradise. I really appreciated that they leave some kitchen necessities as opposed to cleaning out everything. We had a variety of liquor, some cokes and beers, paper goods of every kind ,spices, oils , vinegars, coffee, teas, sweeteners, etc
You will not want to leave!!
It was just perfect for our needs ( and wants!).
The beautiful north shore beaches are right below !
Exceeded our expectations and much better than pics show!!
You will have a wonderful vacation at Areca...so don't hesitate to book this !

Excellent Experience
Review submitted: January 7, 2012 Date of arrival: December 3, 2011
We stayed at the Areca Villa the first week of December of 2011. It was a wonderful experience. There was not a bad view from any room of the villa. We spent a lot of time taking in the majestic views from the infinity pool and from the outside living areas. It was a peaceful experience due to the views, comfort, and privacy after spend the day exploring the different beaches.
Diana was a great host. She helped a great deal before the trip and during the trip. She proved to be a great resource in making suggestions in planning the trip. She also sent a few e-mails to check in during our stay. She was accessible while we were at the villa incase there was anything she could do to make the stay more enjoyable.
Overall this was a great vacation due to Diana's hospitality and the magnificent villa.

Wow, Wow, and Wow
Review submitted: August 4, 2011 Date of arrival: July 15, 2011
This is an outstanding property and it is abundantly clear from our two week stay that Diana personally insures that everything you could need is right at hand. The villa details are beyond compare and the 180 degree view that stretches from St. Thomas, across Jost Van Dyke, and across Cinnamon Bay through to Sopers Hole on Tortola's West End is the best villa view I have seen in my 16 years of visiting St. John. Looking down on Lower Peter Bay from 500 feet above the Caribbean from the table for ten on the wrap around porch makes for some special dinners. As I left I told Diana and Sam that it would be a struggle to come up with anything she might add to the experience. It's that good. The driveway itself it something to behold and enjoy, much like entering
your own private secret paradise. This is perfect for families and the Master Suite will disapoint no one with its private deck and huge sitting room with flat screen and DISH TV. The pool is a huge treat and almost avery day we hung on the infinity edge, checking out the view, favorite music playing on the Bose Sound Dock, cocktail in hand. The North Side of St. John has the best views and the best beaches, and this is the best of the North Side! In my opinion, it would be impossible not to be pleased, impressed, and captivated by this lovely Villa. Full of stone, tile, and mahogany, everything about this villa exudes quality. My only probelm with recommending is that I would love to keep it my secret! We can't wait to go back.

Wonderful stay
Review submitted: April 19, 2011 Date of arrival: February 16, 2011
The property was even better than the pictures! We could not get over the views and the setting. We have been to st. john many times before but this was our first time staying in a villa. It had everything we needed for our family (2 adults, 3 children). While the trip up the hill to the villa took some getting used to, it was worth it for the view! The only problem was we were not as adventurous as usual on this trip, because we always just wanted to stay at the villa and enjoy the pool and the view. Diana was great and always available for anything we needed. We will be back!

Review submitted: April 4, 2011 Date of arrival: March 12, 2011
My husband, three grown children, and my son's girlfriend recently stayed at this beautiful property for two weeks. What a pleasant surprise! The house is very private, perched high on the hillside, with unbelievable views in all directions. It is tastefully furnished and equipped with everything needed for a fun, relaxing vacation. Days were spent at the private beach, sailing at Cinnamon Bay, exploring the island, lunch at Skinny Legs, or simply at the villa, enjoying what we considered the best spot on the island! By late afternoon we were always back at the house for cocktails by the pool, and nice, relaxing dinners out on the veranda. I love to cook, and the kitchen is well-furnished with everything one would need to prepare a delicious meal. I highly recommend stopping at the Fish Trap when in town - they have a fantastic fish market and we would load up on seafood to throw on the grill - Yum! Diana was a wealth of information and the perfect hostess. She had wonderful recommendations for meals out and activities, and was always available for any questions we had. We are so grateful for the opportunity to stay at this unique and lovely property - it was perfect!

Tastefully decorated home in a spectacular setting. The home is ideally situated on the island for trips to town and the best beaches on the north shore. After a nightmare travel experience en route to the island, Diana picked us up at the ferry late at night and had picked up some basic toiletries (our luggage was missing) and breakfast for the next morning for us. She was so helpful that evening and then stopped by the next morning to make sure we were settled in. We loved sitting out by the pool and on the veranda. And the private beach in Pete Bay was absolutely fabulous. We'll definitely be visiting the island again, and would be a repeat visitor to this beautiful home!

Exceptional Villa - Best Location in St. John
Review submitted: March 14, 2011 Date of arrival: March 3, 2011
We just returned from an 8 night stay at the Areca Villa and it was by far the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation we have ever taken. We traveled with two other couples and as soon as we arrived at the Villa we were all grinning ear to ear as we soaked up the beautiful view.
The Villa is located in the best neighborhood/spot on the Island with close proximity to Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, and Little Cinnamon beach and it is an easy drive into Cruz Bay for dinner and groceries. In addition to the location, the Villa is immaculate. All the bedrooms are wonderful and perfect for even the pickiest tastes (in our case this was very important as we had three couples staying in the main house and we did not want a converted kids room). More importantly the common areas are incredible. In fact, on the last day of our vacation we spent the morning staring out at the Sea and debating what beach to visit...after a short discussion we all agreed that the best bet was to simply lay around the infinity-edge pool and soak up the best views on the island for one more day. If you want to quick back and relax, there is no better place on St. John than this villa. Alternatively, if you want to run around exploring the Island, the Villa is perfectly located for that too.
In addition to the physical amenities our interactions with the Villa owners and their service workers were exceptional. The owners picked us up at the dock in Cruz Bay, escorted us to the Villa, gave us a complete tour of the facilities, and shared some great advice on restaurants and activities to check out during the week. Also, they were very helpful in answering questions prior to our arrival. During the week, we were amazed at the quality of service provided by the cleaning crew. We returned from a Daysail (check out www.blacksailsvi.com) on our fourth day and found the Villa looking like a model home. The crew even removed our laundry from the Dryer and left it for us folded in the bedroom.
Overall, this villa is truly amazing and will not disappoint. We are already looking at the calendar to figure out when we can return.

Paradise Found!
Review submitted: December 7, 2010 Date of arrival: November 27, 2010
What a wonderful, fabulous, incredible week….Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Maho Bay, Francis Bay, snorkeling, day trip to Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke, shopping in town (Mongoose Junction) with the twins, Skinny Legs and so much more. One of the family's favorite daily outings was walking from the villa to lower Peter Bay and back. What a workout!
Your villa is beautiful and works so well with family. We loved the mornings and evenings eating on the veranda. The pool was great. We swam each day. I can think of nothing that could be different for our family. You have the finest of everything. The pots, pans, appliances, etc were great as we cooked every meal at home. Also we grilled several times.
We appreciated the mid week cleaning by polite and efficient ladies.
Looking forward to returning to enjoy the sheer beauty of your villa and the fantastic views.

Fantastic House!!
Review submitted: August 11, 2010 Date of arrival: July 17, 2010
This was our first rental on the north shore after several visits that included stays at the Westin, Caneel Bay and other rentals around Great Cruz Bay. The house is even better than the pictures. With amazing views from so many different locations around the property it is a very relaxing and beautiful setting. There are views of Peter Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Jost Van Dyke and Tortola.
We rented the main house which is a large three bedroom. The master suite has a fantastic bathroom with large shower area and a large jet tub. It also has a very large balcony with a couch and two chaise lounges that are great for reading, watching the boats in Peter Bay and Cinnamon Bay, or an afternoon nap!
There are two indoor living areas and an amazing main level wrap around deck that had a dining table, ice maker, mini fridge and lots of seating areas along with more great views. The two indoor areas have large flat screen tv's but given the outside activities and views we did not use these much during our visit.
The kitchen is a great entertaining area and is very well equipped with dishes, glassware, cookware..... everything you need to cook all of your meals if desired.
The pool deck separates the man house and the guest house and is very large, again with incredible views! The infinity pool has views of Peter Bay and is great for a relaxing swim or float any time of the day. This area also includes a covered area with chaise lounges and ceiling fan, and arbor with a large hammock.
The guest house and main house are separated by the pool deck. While we did not rent the guest house, we did look in the windows and both floors have a large bedroom. We also noticed that each floor of the guest house has a large outdoor shower with privacy provided by the foliage.
The owners live in the VI are very easy to work with and helpful with information on transportation, activities and restaurants. I also want to comment on the furnishings which are all high quality. Everything from couches to patio furniture to bedding was top of the line.
You will definitely need a rental car (I would think 4WD a must) to get to and from town and the beaches. the house location is about midway along north shore road so it is easy to get back to Cruz Bay or to Coral Bay on the east end of the island.
We also did a day excursion on Blue Tang to the BVI that we very much enjoyed.
Areca is an amazing property and we will return and stay here again!!

The Villa at Areca Peter Bay is the perfect setting for relaxation. The elegance of the villa and the many extras make it the perfect get away. Diana thought of everything a guest could possibly need to make their stay perfect. She was the perfect hostess answering our many questions and helping us find the best shopping and dining of the area.
If you want to witness the real flora and fauna of the island you MUST stay at this villa. It is excellent!!!

"Virtually any place on the grounds has an unforgettable view of the British Virgin islands or the beautiful Peter Bay, it can all be seen from the pool, guest house, and both floors of the main house. No part went unused, an afternoon BBQ by the pool, reading and sit down dinners on the deck, and space for everyone to relax. It was the perfect place to escape and not be bothered, but it was also only 15 minutes from the St. John port to see the local life and get supplies. Truly an amazing trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone."

"I had the opportunity to stay at Areca Peter Bay and simply put, it was amazing! I found so many places to relax at this Villa, and while I enjoyed the short distance down to the beach, it was hard to leave the pool deck with the sun and unbelievable view. The lounge chairs on the master balcony are the perfect place to escape from the sun, take in the view, and read a good book. The Villa is so private you almost forget that anyone else is on the island. There's no question. This is the nicest place I've stayed."

The Tulsa Shock were in desperate need of a win tonight as they hosted the Atlanta Dream at the BOK Center. But the Shock lose their 10th straight. Tulsa is now 1-15. Their one and only win came back on June 18th.
The ladies welcomed former Sooner great Courtney Paris to town. CP3 scored her first points of the game with a little over two minutes left in the first half. She finished with six. Things looked bad for Tulsa trailing by 15 at the break. But the Shock turn it on in the fourth quarter, going on a 15-1 run to pull within three points. That's as close as they could get however. Tulsa was led by Liz Cambage with 16 points. Angel McCoughtry scored a career-high 37points for Atlanta.The Shock lose 76-68. They're back home Thursday for a game against Chicago at 7:00 p.m.

"Just as a person is commanded to honor his father and hold him in awe, so, too, is he obligated to honor his teacher and hold him in awe."
These words from the Talmud are something we truly believe in at Stephen S. Wise Elementary, and last week we had the opportunity to put our beliefs into action. Our own 5th grade teacher, Mary Itri, was selected as a winner of the Milken Family Foundation Jewish Educator Award! Mrs. Itri has been a teacher her for 26 years, and in this time she has influenced generations of students. She embodies the school's mission of recognizing each child's unique gifts, nurturing creativity, encouraging individual development, and inspiring a love of learning. Beyond the classroom, Mary is the Director of our Spring Musical, where she transforms our students into actors, musicians, stage crew, and so much more. We are lucky to have Mary Itri on our staff and so pleased that the Milken Foundation selected her for this amazing honor. Mary will be recognized on December 13 at the Milken Foundation Luncheon, and we look forward to sharing this spe cial day with her.

Go Wildcats! As our own sports teams are preparing for the start of their seasons, tonight we are on our way to cheer the tackle football team from Milken High School for their Homecoming game. This afternoon the varsity players and cheerleaders came to campus to get our school spirit going, and it was a wonderful pep rally to prepare for the fun tonight. I hope you will join me at Birmingham High School at 6:00 p.m. for all of the festivities.
As we celebrated our athletic gifts we also took time today to acknowledge our students' gifts of creativity. The projects that came in for Caine's Arcade were really magnificent – it is amazing what our kids can do with some cardboard boxes and duct tape! We will judge the final results tomorrow, and all of our Tzedakah from this week will go to support this important project. We also took time to recognize our performing gifts with our orchestra and jazz band concert this afternoon. The students displayed great talents with their instruments, and all parents are invited next Monday night at 6:00 p.m. for an informational orchestra/band assembly. At this time of year we take stock of our many blessings, and today reminded me of why I love being principal of this Elementary School – all of the gifts and talents our students possess are a blessing to our community!

The fifth grade students were actively engaged in an experiment with colored water that was different temperatures. They discovered that the red hot water floated, while the cold blue water sank, and tied this all into the scientific principles of density. Second grade is experimenting with sound and hearing by designing their own instruments and manipulating them to change the pitch of the sound. Sixth graders are learning about heat and they tested solar ovens, which we will tie into Jewish World Watch later this year. The students also were outside the lab finding out that black cloth absorbs light and converts it to heat, while white cloth reflects light – it's a good thing our uniform shirts are white! I hope you will ask your child what they are doing in Science this year, and we look forward to sharing many future lessons with you.

"Our hot lunch program has started with great success, and we hope you are all enjoying the new entrée options from Vicki's lunch box. If you are bringing a lunch from home, please remember our school policy of adhering to the Temple's Kashrut guideline that no lunch will contain pork or shellfish products. Also, please be aware if there is a peanut allergy in your classroom so that we don't have any students placed at risk."
Today is the 19th day of the month of Elul, and Stephen S. Wise Elementary School is busy preparing for the high holidays. Every morning we begin our day with the blast of the Shofar, and this morning we had the additional presence of Cantor Lam and some of the Thursday morning minyan participants. It was a powerful start to the day for all students and adults.
We then carried this spiritual feeling into our Judaic studies classes as students are learning the prayers for the holidays and writing their personal hopes and reflections to add to the jars in their classrooms. Our school-wide Rosh Hashanah service will be on Friday, September 14 at 8:15 a.m., and all students will wear white this day for our special celebration. The following Sunday, September 23, we will gather as a community at Santa Monica Beach at 1:00 in the afternoon for Tashlich. All families are invited to bring a lunch, beach equipment, and your bag of bread crumbs as we toss our sins into the ocean, sing songs together, and once again here the Shofar. You will receive further information in an evite, a flyer, and bag for your crumbs. I truly hope you will put these events on your calendar and add to the meaning of Elul and the holidays with all of us.

Montana's general hunting season was quickly coming to a close and I had yet to fill my deer tag. The bigger buck I'd been after continued to stay just out of range. With the clock ticking I passed on some good bucks, however, it was beginning to feel like crunch time.

"Even though it was the last weekend of the season, they fully committed to our spread... They weren't as obsessed with feeding, but rather in establishing mates before heading North again." - Sitka Ambassador Justin Kasmeyer
