The Pre-Kindergarten program of the Omaha Public Schools is based on the belief that every child is uniquely gifted with the capacity to learn and grow academically. Our instruction is designed to accommodate a broad range of children's needs and learning styles. The framework is standards-based and is focused on promoting curiosity, literature, numeracy and problem solving.
Equally important is the classroom philosophy of encouraging the support of parents/guardians as full partners in their child's education.
One of the simplest and most effective ways to prepare for Pre-K is to spend up to 20 minutes each day reading to your child. The exposure to language builds literacy skills important in the educational process. Click here to see the Featured Books section. Most are award-winning stories that will stir your child's imagination and help develop a love of literature. Also, talk with your child about colors, numbers, shapes and sizes. Encourage their natural curiosity. Being familiar with these concepts will go a long way in preparing your child for a successful Pre-K school year. Take a look into a "day in the life" of a pre-kindergarten classroom by visiting the View from a Room tab. Almost every section will feature tips from the classroom teacher on how parents can continue the learning process at home.
The Early Childhood Programs in the Omaha Public Schools are filled with joyful moments of
discovery and growth for your child.
Click on the here for further information.
The Title I Pre-Kindergarten program is for children who turn four by July 31 of the year they wish to enroll. All age-eligible children participate in a screening/assessment process. Placement is based on the results of the assessment. Please be aware, not all children who are screened gain acceptance into the program. This is due to the fact that there are a limited number of slots. Those showing a greater need are placed in the slots first.
To apply for the prekindergarten program you must attend an application/screening date to complete all the necessary paperwork and have your child screened. The schedule for the application screening dates is available on the Omaha Public Schools website at district.ops.org. The link to the schedule can be accessed by clicking on the early childhood application day box on the right side of the homepage.

The manhunt and the lockdown of Boston is affecting some here in the Pioneer Valley.
Adolph Kawuba, 18, is a Watertown native who goes to Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Wilbraham.
On Friday morning, Kawuba woke up to several texts from his friends and family in Watertown.
Watertown is one of several communities near Boston that is on lockdown, which has forced residents to stay inside of their homes.
On Friday morning, Kawuba's mother called him about the drama that unfolded outside of his Watertown home.
"She just told me there had been some shooting going on earlier that morning, that it was next to our house, Dexter Street, and she just told me that everything is locked down and no one can leave the house. That's all the information she could give me," Kawuba said.
He also told CBS 3 that he plans to visit his family next weekend.

HU125: Up, Up, and Away! The Superhero's Influence on Modern Culture
This class will examine the roots of superheroes in philosophy as well as explore how our modern depictions of superheroes have evolved since their inception. We will be looking specifically at Superman, who not only was one of the first superheroes, but also was the creation of Cleveland natives Joe Siegel and Jerry Shuster.
Some of the questions we will investigate include What is high vs. low culture? How do literature and art work together to tell stories? What cultural voice does the superhero fulfill? What cultural values does the superhero reflect? How is the superhero depicted in other contexts, mediums and cultures?
In addition to Superman, we will also look at how other superheroes have developed as a result of Superman's influence. Expect discussions on Spiderman, Batman, the X-Men, Wonder Woman, Super friends, Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, the Watchmen, The Avengers and others.
Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage TripOn Sunday, November 10th, the Arts, Cultures, and Humanities Learning Community traveled to Beachwood to visit the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. The tour began with a guided tour of the special exhibit, "The Dreyfuss Affair," lead by Mr. Sol Factor. After that, the group had the honor of meeting with Holocaust survivor Erika Gold, and hearing her story. Mrs. Gold was a young girl living in Hungary who survived the Holocaust and, after the war, moved to the United States. The visit concluded with a tour through the general museum, which includes an exhibit on Superman, who was created by Jewish Cleveland natives Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.
After the museum, the group traveled to Beachwood mall for lunch and a little shopping to unwind, and then drove to the boyhood home of Joe Schuster, located in Glenville (part of Cleveland) for photos.Participants included Joe Lopez, Brock Pierson, Abigail Jackson, Jacob Godec, Abigail Sargent, and Meri Cizmar.

Remember Me
DEAR EDITOR:We want to take this time to say a grateful "thank you" to everyone who prayed, sent letters, e-mails or packages to our son, Captain Brian P. Huysman, while he was serving in Afghanistan. We are very happy to say Brian has returned to the U.S. from his last assignment. Brian was in the Middle East on four deployments (two in Iraq and two in Afghanistan) with the U.S. Marines and it is very gratifying to know and feel the support he received.Sadly, 10 Marines in the battalion did not come home. They have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving our country. All the men and women who are serving are doing so because they have volunteered to be put in harm's way. We hope they are always given the greatest respect and support they truly deserve.Barb and Ron Huysman,Delphos

The Font of all Knowledge
10:07pm Wednesday 14th March 2012 in Judith's Divorce Blog By Judith Middleton
There must be a large number of people who heard with regret the news today that the Encyclopaedia Britannica is to cease publication in print. In the days before you could use the internet and and a search engine to find out everything you want to know, there was something delightful about turning the pages of a book of knowledge.
I'm sure the decision is in no related to grounds for divorce but it did remind me of the occasion when, once upon a time, a client sought my advice in relation to his separation from his wife.
"I even gave all my volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica to a charity shop because of my wife," he said.
"Why was that?" I asked, expecting him to tell me it was because she'd insisted they took up too much space or were too ugly for their bookcase.
"I didn't need them," he replied. "Once we were married, I discovered that my wife knew all there is to know about everything!"

Through regular classes and events such as scrapping parties, they teach the art of cropping, crafting cards and scrapbooks, and even building photo albums from scratch. They also create invitations and cards or custom albums for customers.

|Fort Fest transports village back to 1812
|Wednesday, August 14, 2013 12:10 AM
Staff Writer
Some fascinating events are scheduled for Fort Fest and include: Camp of 1812/Senior Day; "Eyes of Freedom" Display; Heritage Ball; Tomahawk Throwing Contest; Fort Building Contest; and Horse-Drawn History Tours.
Dr. Wes Klir, who has been a huge part of planning and managing the festival activities in Memorial Hall, described the activities available for adults and children taking place all weekend.
"This festival is so different in so many ways," Klir detailed. "People can immerse themselves into this history."
The festival kicks off at 9 a.m. Friday withCamp 1812/Senior Day, an interactive camp for grade school children that takes place at the park. Until 3 p.m., there will be crafts and skills used by militia showcased.
"It's also Senior Day and it will be a great opportunity for grandchildren and grandparents to interact together," Klir detailed.
At noon, the MIA/POW Wall and "Eyes of Freedom" Display will arrive via motorcade and helicopter procession into the park and to the fire station.
"Six local veterans on an Honor Flight will arrive with the memorial displays," Klir explained.
Also on Friday, the Huey 369 Flights will begin at noon at the park and run until 5 p.m. Saturday hours are to be determined and Sunday hours are from 10:30-6 p.m.
The Heritage Ball, which is held at Memorial Hall, is a 1812 re-enactment dinner with classic American cuisine where there will be an 1812 toast and entertainment. All re-enactment actors are invited and eat dinner for free and the general public is welcome. Since it was so popular and sold out last year with only one seating, this year there are two seatings from 6-8:30 p.m. — one on Friday and one on Saturday. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children under 17 years of age and help offset the costs of the free meals for the actors.
"It's about as close to a PBS documentary as you can get," Klir proudly stated.
On Saturday, the Fort Jennings Tomahawk Throwing Contest will be held in the 1812 area in Fort Jennings Park along the Auglaize River. Walk-in registration will be held at the park tennis courts from 9-10:30 a.m. and registration is $5 per person to compete. The price includes a tomahawk, knife throwing exhibition and instruction by expert throwers.
Participants can check out the exhibition, receive instruction and practice before the competition, which begins at 10:30 a.m. and continues until the champions are chosen. The contest is open to all ages and brackets are: K-2nd grade; 3rd-5th grade; 6th-8th grade; High School; Adult; and Adult-Senior (50+). Bracket winners will receive a Champion T-shirt and bragging rights for one full year
Starting at 9 a.m. in Memorial Hall, there will be a Hometown Heroes Exhibit, which will present artifacts from military folks living in the area.
"These items people will not see in a museum," Klir said. "These items—Purple Heart Medals—come out of the attics and closets of the family members of those who served."
The Ohio National Guard display will also be available for viewing beginning at 9 a.m. in Memorial Hall.
"The display encompasses 16 mannequins demonstrating the progression of the Ohio National Guard (O.N.G.) from the Revolutionary War to present day," Klir explained. "There will also be a O.N.G. representative on hand to answer questions about the traveling exhibit."
At 11 a.m., students in grades 1-5 can use their creative abilities to try and replicate what "The Fort" may have looked like by using a wooden Lincoln Log type construction. First prize will be a LEGO product.
Horse-drawn History Tours will be available from noon to 4 p.m. at Memorial Hall and includes a ride around town with a narrator who presents a significant historical overview of the town. Tickets are $3 for adults and $2 for kids.
Other events scheduled for Fort Fest includes the Car Show; Duck Races; Raffle Prizes; Live Music; Grand Prize Drawings; Old Time Baseball; Mower Poker Run, Hot Laps and Races; Parade; Fiddle Stix; Reenactments; and the 50/50 Big Ticket Drawing.

Tonight, a hard-throwing left-hander named Danny Duffy makes his major-league debut, starting for the Royals against the Rangers. I have written about Duffy, John Sickels has written about Duffy, and Royals Review has written about Duffy. This is just a wild guess, but I suspect that if Danny Duffy's your favorite nephew and you just can't get enough, someone else has written about him, too.
So this isn't about Danny Duffy.
Rather, it's about skepticism and unrealistic expectations and the brutality of the numbers (and maybe, just a little bit, about Danny Duffy).
It's not impossible to develop young pitchers who win, year in and year out.
But it's almost impossible.
How do we know? The numbers.
As you know, teams "control" players for six major-league seasons. Six-plus, actually. But we'll say six, just to keep things simple. If a starting pitcher is reasonably healthy and reasonably effective in a season he'll probably win at least 10 games. Six seasons times 10 wins equals 60, but we'll make it even easier on them and assume that a club has developed a winning pitcher if he graduates from the farm system -- of the franchise that drafted or signed him as an amateur -- and wins at least 50 games for the franchise.
Oh, there's one more reason for these criteria ... ESPN.com's David Schoenfield has already published the research and it's sort of shocking.
How many 50-game winners -- again, for them -- have the Red Sox developed in the last 25 years?
One. Jon Lester.
How many 50-game winners have the Tigers developed in the last 30 years?
Two. Justin Verlander and Mike Henneman. And Henneman was a relief pitcher (in the days when relief pitchers might get lots of decisions).
How many 50-game winners have the Twins -- the Twins -- developed in the last 20 years?
Two. Scott Baker and Brad Radke.
The Rays have developed one 50-game winner (for them): James Shields.
The Marlins have never developed a 50-game winner. Josh Johnson who signed with the Marlins nine years ago, has won 48 games for the franchise and will be the first.
So, it's hard. The Royals are loaded with pitching prospects. Duffy might be the best of them, and he's the first to join the big club's starting rotation. Aaron Crow's one of those prospects, but he's become a reliever. Nate Adcock joins the rotation this weekend, but wasn't actually considered a prospect before the season (whether that says more about Adcock or the people who rate prospects, we'll know in a month or three).
There are others. Which is a really, really, really good thing. Because if the Royals are going to be the team everyone's expecting over these next few years, they're going to need more pitchers than Danny Duffy and Nate Adcock. Given the historical success rate of young pitchers for their original teams, they're going to need a lot more.

Security in the Frenetic Age
There has been a lot of talk about data leaks and data privacy lately, not naming any names. The articles and blog entries on this topic are filled with outrage and spoken with dropped jaws. I have to admit that the only shock I experience on this subject is at how shocked people are. As divisive as these issues are, fundamental questions remain. How much privacy should be expected? How many times a week are you prompted to accept a long block of terms and conditions in order to access online services? How many times do you read them? Isn't that the scary part?
The mobile revolution has brought us into the Frenetic Age. Hear two bars of a song you like? Buy it on iTunes. Order a tasty looking burrito? Instagram it. Overcome by wit? Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr… Digitizing our social lives — and our lives in general — leaves a trail of data. Eric Schmidt claims that we now create as much information every two days as we did up until 2003. "If you aren't paying for the product, you are the product" goes the current mantra. Should we accept this as easily as we accept those terms and conditions?
In this frenetic age, how can we protect our privacy? I believe data protection and access control will become increasingly vital topics for all of us. Being a responsible company that protects its consumers' privacy will become a competitive advantage. Providing safe harbour for third-party data will provide similar opportunities for companies in the next decade, as collecting private data did for social networks in the last decade. At Layer 7, we feel that our Data Lens solution offers a good starting point for companies who want to expose their data, their partners' data and their customers' data in an acceptable way.

PLATTSBURGH — The future of medicine may easily lie in research being conducted by people like Beekmantown Central School graduate Kelsey Moody.
Moody, who followed up his high-school career as a 2010 graduate from Plattsburgh State, is currently in his second year as a medical student at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse.
But Moody is also involved in some exciting research that may one day help improve the treatment of such conditions as heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
"The medical establishment has become very effective at treating infectious disease, with developing vaccines, antibiotics and other successful treatment measures," Moody said from Syracuse recently.
"But when it comes to chronic disease and particularly diseases of old age, we haven't observed the same improvement in patient outcomes. I believe we need to consider fundamentally new approaches that may more adequately address the dynamic nature and complexity of these diseases."
One such direction involves cell therapy, the process of introducing new cells into tissue to treat disease, Moody said.
"Traditionally, diseases have been treated by 'one-size-fits-all' small-molecule drugs, but I believe medicine is entering a stage where it can and will do better," he said.
Small-molecule prescription drugs are made in huge quantities by a chemical process and typically involve the unwelcome inclusion of side effects, but Moody believes drugs created through cell therapy will respond to a disease in a much more predictable manner.
"When you administer a chemical (in small-molecule drugs) to a patient in high concentrations, it is often difficult to predict how the patient will react. There may be all manner of unexpected side effects from the treatment," Moody said.
"For example, Viagra was originally intended to treat heart disease. It performed poorly in a clinical setting. Many cell-based therapies are actually safer and more effective than standard treatment options."
The problem with cell therapy is availability.
"We just can't get cells in high-enough volume," Moody said of the reality that cell therapy currently relies on cell donors. "We need manufacturing processes that allow us to generate cells on the same scale as small-molecule drugs."
Moody's current research aims to solve the manufacturing issue for the production of rare blood-stem cells. He recently received a $450,000 grant from the Life Extension Foundation to seed his start-up company, Ichor Therapeutics Inc., which focuses on tackling key bottlenecks in the field of regenerative medicine.
"I've been interested in pursuing this project for a year and a half or so," he said. "When I got to medical school, I decided to raise money to pursue that idea."
Moody first considered doing his research through university affiliations but then chose to operate through a business and formed Ichor Therapeutics Inc.
"Start-up companies are the vehicle of choice to drive disruptive technological innovation to satisfy this and other unmet medical needs," he said of efforts to improve the treatment of chronic, age-related disease. "They are lean, efficient and can respond rapidly to changes in our understanding of the therapies we develop, and the diseases they are intended to treat."
After graduating from Plattsburgh State, Moody was recruited for a position as chief technology officer at ImmunePath, a biotech start-up company in Silicon Valley, Calif., funded by Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and the initial outside investor of Facebook.
At ImmunePath, Moody was involved in stem-cell research aimed at helping reduce the impact chemotherapy has on the body's immune system during cancer treatments.
The research was successful in using stem cells to replace damaged immune cells in mice, but the company was unable to attract enough investors to support extended — and expensive — human clinical trials.
That experience prompted Moody to earn a master's degree in business administration from Concordia University in January 2013.
Working on his medical degree is a continuation of his desire to find the answer to improve treatments for chronic age-related diseases.
"I'm interested in being at the center of where research, medicine and business intersect," he said. "My goal is to have a background in research, a background in business and a background in medicine.
"There are a lot of talented people in all three areas, but a consistent challenge is that they speak three completely different languages. We need focused, interdisciplinary teams working creatively to solve difficult problems. My role as CEO at Ichor is really to guide the discovery process by facilitating communication between these groups."
Meanwhile, it is the bottom line that interests Moody the most.
"We are not alone in our efforts to solve these hard problems," he said. "There are a lot of other teams and labs researching cell therapy. Someone will cross the finish line sooner or later, but to me it doesn't matter who it is. If we can deliver safe and effective new treatments to the public, then everyone wins."
Moody is the son of Miles and Kelly Moody and grandson of Annette Deyo and the late Ernest Deyo of Beekmantown.

Boone County —
A new seat opened up this year on the Lebanon Utilities board after 28 years of being occupied by one man.
Allen Milburn came onto the board in 1984 as an appointment by then-mayor Ann Garaffolo, and he was reappointed every four years by the three following mayors from both sides of the political fence — Jim Acton, John Lasley and current Lebanon Mayor Huck Lewis.
"I felt good about that," he said. "I feel grateful the leaders of the community had confidence in me, but 28 years is an incredible amount of time. It's time for others to have the opportunity I had."
Milburn left his seat on Nov. 30. Lewis asked him to stay on again, but Milburn turned him down.

When the Utah State Aggies lost star quarterback Chuckie Keeton to a torn ACL against BYU back on Oct. 4 and then lost to Boise State the week after, a lot of people felt that the Aggies season was over. At that point the Aggies were considered an after thought in the Mountain West. Since that loss to Boise State the Aggies have very quietly won four straight games and now control their path to the Mountain West title game.
Utah State and Boise State each had one conference loss since the middle of October, and with the season rapidly coming to a close it seemed that the Aggies chance at getting to the Mountain West title game were slim. Boise State was playing well with easy wins over Colorado State and Wyoming, and even though they were traveling on the road to San Diego State the Broncos were favored to win.
San Diego State ended up playing a great game on Saturday night and upset Boise State at home in an overtime, and since Utah State defeated Colorado State 13-0 earlier in the day the Aggies now have a one-game lead over Boise State in the Mountain Division.
All that Utah State needs to do to earn a spot in the inaugural Mountain West title game is do defeat a 5-6 Wyoming team at home this upcoming Saturday. Boise State can still get back into the title game if they beat New Mexico and then they need Wyoming to defeat Utah State.
Utah State head coach Matt Wells is pumped for his team, and knows they need to finish.
We MUST....Finish the drill! #1-0 #AggieNation

This is a nostalgia beer for me. Lot of it down the pipe while stationed at Westover AFB back in the day. Whenever I travel to Mass on business I grab a Gansett since it came back in 2005. Interesting that it was out of business during my drinking hiatus. Still my favorite upeast Lager brewed in Upstate NY. Good head dissipates quickly leaving a nice lace, mouthfeel is excellent and the beer is good with any food. My preference is some good New England chowder, a burger and a Gansett.

For $5.99 a six pack and a half way decent BA rating I had to grab this up for a day of outside work today.Poured into a pilsner glass a clear straw color with a pretty nice clingy white head,good clarity and head to this adj lager I gotta say.Clean aromas with a bit of iron and husk,not much in the sweet department wich is a good thin in my mind.What makes this adj lager better than most is the restrained sweetness on the palate,a little grainy and husky with light residual sweetness in the back end.This is a frisby golf,lawn day,or sitting back watchin a ballgame beer,its not all that bad at all.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine May 2007.
The resurrection of the retro Lagers has created somewhat of an embedded drinking culture populated with über-hipsters and nostalgia drinkers--half American heritage and half grass-roots marketing.
Pours off with a rush of foam, subsiding to a thin, bubbly lace that only survives from the active carbonation. Perfect clarity with a dirty straw color. Clean, fresh-cut-hay graininess, cooked grits and a mild floral aroma. Super crisp, with a semi-high level of carbonation that yields a smooth light body. Fresh snap of grain husk has a sharpness to it; modest hop bitterness adds to the effect. Very clean all around. Quick flash of malt flavor jumps to a raw corn-grit taste with a mild dextrin flavor in the end. Finishes dry with a lingering bite of grain.
It is what it is: an American Macro Lager--but for what it is, it's not too shabby and sits on top compared to the rest of the retro Lagers out there. Without a doubt, a staple on a hot summer day. Pair with a plate of fried calamari & hot peppers--Rhode Island style.

I'd resisted drinking 'Gansett for years since I hate hipsters & this beer has been popular with them for some time. Picked up a sixer at my local package store a few months ago to see what the fuss was all about.
Drank it right out of the can, ice cold on a hot day after some yard work. 1st smell is that of green apples. Same faint green apple in the taste. Very smooth drinking, I love the carbonation feel in my mouth. Each sips begs another.
As the beer warms up, a little of the cooked veggie/corn flavor sneaks in. Gotta drink it quickly while still cold!
The price is right for this beer too - around $6 for a sixpack of tall boys (compared to most crafts around here going for $10/6 pack 12 oz'ers nowadays).
OK, I will admit it - a small bit of me is very hip now. :0)

Poured a crystal clear golden with a decent sized frothy white head that stuck around for a bit. Smells lightly of corn and very faint malt...not much there at all as far as aroma goes. Tasted of honey, malt sweetness, very light hops, very crisp and clean. A light to medium body with medium carbonation. You would expect it to feel like Bud or Coors, ie very watery and cola-like carbonation but not so. Extremely drinkable. These puppies go down easily on a hot muggy day. I was pretty impressed by the quality of this beer. It is cheaper than Bud, Coors, etc @ only $4.75 for a six-pack. For the price, and for what it is, it blows Bud, Coors, Miller, etc out of the water EASILY.
My macro of choice by far.

16 oz can with no freshness date. Different look bu the same old style labeling. $4.99 for a six-pack of tall boys is not a bad price.
A- Two fingers of froth hold steady after a moderate to hard pour, clear golden straw hue.
S- Ahhh ... that beery smell. Mild spicy hops with that graininess with a back-end of cereal grains.
T&M- Solid crispness with in the light to moderate body, carbonation is at a good level. Light malt flavor, clean cereal grain taste. Slightly bitter hops with a touch of flavor. Dry finish with more graininess and a kiss of hop oil flavor in the end.
D- Wow! what a treat, finally a macro with a bit of flavor. I would not have a problem having this in my fridge year round ... hell, it just bumped Schlitz off of my list.

I used to drink this beer in Jr. High. I hadn't had it since then (early 70s), so when I had it recently, I was a little nervous. I was not just relieved, but overjoyed that it tasted exactly as I thought I had remembered it (even though it was the first time I think I had had it actually cold). A flood of memories came to me of hanging out with my friends, skipping school, on a beautiful spring day, drinking beers by the lake.

Taste is fairly well balanced for an adjunct lager, it's crisp, light a bit bitter and fairly fresh. I mean it's not an amazing beer, but it's well balanced and way more drinkable than most.

Narragansett's Lager opens with a yeasty, floury malt aroma immediately reminiscent of baking bread, toast crust, and rising dough, but sweetened by healthy doses of white grape and orange. There's also a good smattering of wet hay, and an aroma that reminds me of the inside of old-timey grain mills. The aromas are obviously heavily biased towards grains, with mere smatterings of fruit and sugar, and nary a hint of hops. This works well for the beer, for the grain aromas are strong and varied enough to avoid the one-note wonder that can result from lesser-quality lagers, and the sugars are just potent enough to interest the senses. A stronger sugar base would have added extra oomph, as would have a larger hop presence, but the beer still smells good without them.
On the tongue, the beer continues to be heavily grain-based, with toast crust, biscuit, hay straw, rice, and floury baguette immediately present, sweetened by white grape, orange, and touches of apricot. A bit of brown sugar also winds through, with the merest shade of pine from the hops adding a slight bitterness. The aftertaste is mainly grains, with some sugary sweetness remaining, and lingers on the tongue for a short time. Mouthfeel is medium-light, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, this is a very nice mid-grade beer. It doesn't quite have enough complexity or nuance to compete with, say, a Dogfish Head, but then it's not intended to. Instead, it provides a clean, well-balanced, refreshing, flavorful profile that leaves the tongue wanting more, and with a 5% ABV, is nicely suited for lunch. Perfect camping or beach fare.

Alaska Rental Results
Alaska Local Information and Area Highlights
Alaska Vacation Rentals / Travel to Alaska
Looking for an extraordinary vacation destination? Travel to Alaska! Breathtaking inlets, more than three million lakes, wild roaming caribou… these are only a small taste of the wonders to explore on an Alaska vacation.
Alaska vacation rentals offer respite from busy outdoor or indoor days of touring and discovering. Alaskan vacations offer a broad range of activities for adults, children, and families alike! From scenic glacier tours, day cruises, wildlife adventures, whale watching, rafting and fishing, to viewing the Northern Lights, you won't find yourself bored on an Alaska vacation.
Planning an Alaska Adventure Vacation
Alaskan sportfishing is a premier activity and an unforgettable experience amidst the sheer beauty of the Alaskan territory. Choose from salmon fishing, ice fishing, fresh or salt water fishing, or fly-fishing- you can't go wrong with over 600 species of fish to catch. Transportation to reach the fishing areas may be from car, chartered boat or plane. First-rate fishing can be found as far north as the Anaktuvuk River, with a one-month peak season, to Salt Lagoon Creek, featuring white and pink salmon, cutthroat, and Dolly Varden. There's nothing quite like an Alaska fishing vacation, especially if you spend it in one of the luxuriously cozy Alaska vacation rentals found here.
For a more low-key fishing excursion, some of our vacation Alaska rentals include kayaks- you can paddle out and spend a relaxing afternoon on the lake catching fish. Hunting is also a popular activity for Alaskan vacationers. Moose and caribou are prime targets for hunters, as are sheep. Keep in mind, however, that most of the best hunting is quite a hike from the highway!
If you're looking for a more active vacation, take an Alaskan ski trip! In parts of interior and Northern Alaska, there are pristine places where the snow is permanent, making this one of the coldest places in North America. On the positive side though, this also ensures some of the most spectacular and unique ski terrain to challenge and excite those who travel the distance. After your ski trip, kick back and relax in one of our welcoming Alaska cabin rentals.
Choose Alaska Rentals for Culture and Entertainment
Choose from a wide array of entertainment options during your Alaskan vacation. The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race starts in Anchorage and ends in Nome. If you're looking for something more artistic, visit the World Ice Art Championships, only moments away from our Fairbanks vacation rentals. Other options include the Sitka Whale Fest, the Stikine River Garnet Fest, and the Alaska Hummingbird Festival in Ketchikan. If all this piques your curiosity, consider Sitka, Alaska rentals.
For the more musically inclined, we can offer Alaska lodging near some of the state's most important and popular musical events! Some of these events include the Alaska Folk Festival, Fairbanks Summer Art Fesitival, Anchorage Folk Festival, Sitka Jazz Festival, and the Sitka Summer Music Festival.
Alaska Vacation Spots
The Far North area in Alaska is only accessible by a single gravel road on land, and is mostly explored through commercial and charter airplanes. Inupiat Eskimos live juxtaposed against today's oil field technology in the Far North. Visit the northernmost community of Barrow, with daylight from May 10th through August 2nd, and four main types of whale migration (beluga, bowhead, gray, and killer). Kotzebue is a primarily Eskimo-inhabited commercial center, where visitors can view the traditional-style fish camp of North Tent City, and watch the Eskimo Olympic events such as the greased pole walk and finger pulling contests. Nome is a blend of Eskimo history and culture with remains of its gold rush history. Nome is the endpoint of the world-famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Wildlife in the Nome area includes reindeer, moose, and musk oxen. Parks and public lands in the Far North include Gates of the Artic National Park and Preserve, and the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve.
Mt. Mc Kinley, the highest mountain in North America, is a feature part of the interior region of Alaska. It is encompassed within the incredible views of and berry-filled Denali National Park and Preserve, home to caribou, bears, Dali sheep, and wolves. Outdoor recreation in Fairbanks is abundant; boating, rafting, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, and skiing are all available. The annual World Ice Art Championships are held here. Take a ride on the Chena and Tanana Rivers with the Authentic Sternwheel Riverboat. Nenana is a river port community famous for a cash contest, where individuals guess the time when a tripod placed on the ice will fall over due to ice breakage. The Delta Junction area offers wildlife and scenic tours; there is a great view of the Alaska Range.
The more populated and easily accessible South Central region shows a diverse mixture of glaciers, fjords, beaches, and lakes at the side of the roads. Agriculture areas such as the area of huge vegetables, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, and ski resorts aren't far from wilderness here. Homer is a seaside community where halibut fishing is extremely popular, and is surrounded with majestic glacier-topped Kenai Mountains, and green bluffs painted with wildflower colors in summertime. Artisans use this backdrop to stimulate creations sold locally in shops and galleries. Homer vacation rentals provide access to parks and habitats famous for outdoor sports like sea kayaking and brown bear viewing. Homer is an ideal area to book an Alaska vacation rental.
Try an Anchorage, Alaska Vacation Rental
Another area for a great vacation rental is sharply contrasted to Homer's setting- the larger city of Anchorage. Mountain ranges also provide natural beauty here, amidst a modern, progressive city. An odd sight to catch is a moose walking by your Anchorage vacation rental, while interesting ongoing attractions include the Earthquake Park, and the garment-making Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers Co-op.
Much More to an Alaska Vacation
Kenai allows travelers to play 18 holes of golf, learn about Russian and Native cultures, then view waterfalls, eagles, and loons while fishing.
The Southwest area of Alaska is covered with a variety of cultural influences, from Aleutian to Yupik Eskimo to Russian. Southwest Alaska's history includes significant World War II events, and landmarks to see. Unalaska and the Port of Dutch Harbor was the site of Japanese bombing in 1942, and is the largest seafood processing port in the United States. More history can be found at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Ascension, where many religious artifacts can be seen. Unalaska has a number of tours available for industry, culture, and history, and on-your-own hiking to see mammal, bird and fowl wildlife for all skill levels. There are many parks and refuge areas to explore on Kodiak Island, home of Kodiak brown bears, and known globally for bird watching.
Take a trip to the Inside Passage for spruce and hemlock forests, a milder climate, and Glacier Bay National Park, with active tidewater glaciers. Enjoy the cultures of Russia, several groups of Native Indians, and the history of gold rushes past. View both the Orthodox churches and totem poles, and hear and see traditional Native music and dance. See the 200-foot tall Mendenhall Glacier just outside of Juneau, the capital of Alaska. Juneau has 32 area gold mines, and the Eaglecrest Ski Resort on Douglas Island. Skagway is drenched in gold rush history with trails and parks. Ketchikan is replete with Native art and culture, the largest number of totem poles in the world, and a wealth of superior shopping and galleries in town. Ketchikan also provides many outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking, and fishing for various species.

J.K. Rowling to Appear on PotterCastPotterCast
Well, ever since we made this post we have heard from listeners, friends, colleagues...everyone, all assuming that it meant that we were going to have J.K. Rowling on PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast. Despite our weak attempts to tamp the rumor down without technically lying, it spread pretty quickly, and more than a few people we know interrogated us, sure that the rumor was true.
It was. We're very excited and proud to announce that as a little pre-Christmas surprise, J.K. Rowling will make her first ever appearance on a podcast on Tuesday when PotterCast #130 is released to the public. You can keep updated here or at pottercast.com/jkrowling.
It is the first in-depth fan interview since this one in 2005, and Jo's repartee was everything we knew it would be: informative, warm, funny and chock-full of canon revelations as well as statements about the writing and publishing of the series. We had such a great time recording with her and hope that you all enjoy the output!
Most of Jo's sit-down with Sue Upton, John Noe and myself will be played in Tuesday's show, and the remainder will be saved for the following show.
We just couldn't wait to tell you; you can expect a preview of what we talked about on the show tomorrow, so stay tuned! In the meantime, now that we've dispensed with all the plain informational talk, allow us to just say this:
And to nimbus xl, the first commenter on our old post, who said, the post meant JKR would be on the show, and then apologized because we urged everyone not to go there? We're so sorry! You were right! You all were right! :)
PS, reader Sasha made this to celebrate. LOLOL. Thanks Sasha.
