Persona 3 and Persona 4 are widely viewed as some of the best RPG's to be released in the past ten years. So the big question for most Atlus fans is, when can we expect any news on the next Persona game in the series? Well Atlus designer, Katsura Hashino wouldn't say anything specific about the game during an interview; he did say however that the team is "working hard" on the next Persona game.
Atlus seems to want to keep Persona 5 as big a secret as possible, to the point where people tend to forget it is even in development. However, we do know that Persona 5 has been in development for a while now, but we know basically next to nothing about the game. We don't even know if the game is going to be released for current gen consoles or is being targeted for next gen consoles.
So from time to time Atlus likes to have members of the development team like Hashino remind us the game still is in development and to be patient. Hopefully Atlus will finally show the game off this year at either E3 or more likely the Tokyo Game Show. For fans of the series, what would you like to see in the next iteration of the Persona series? Personally, the one thing I would like are endings that are specific to the social links you develop.

Just minutes from bustling downtown Sandpoint, our cabin offers a quiet retreat with spectacular views of the lake and mountains. Whether you spend your days exploring all 111 miles of Lake Pend Oreille's shoreline or skiing the 92 runs on Schweitzer Mountain, you'll come home to picturesque comfort.
The cabin is located on a quiet road at the south end of the 2-mile Long Bridge that crosses the lake and takes you into Sandpoint. In town, you will find a wide variety of restaurants, art galleries, wine bars, and shopping. During the summer months, you can pick up fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade bread and treats, and a great selection of locally made crafts at our Farmers' Market. Bring your bikes and hop on the bike trail at the end of the road to connect with hundreds of miles of road and mountain bike trails. During the winter, Schweitzer Mountain is an easy 12-mile drive away.
There is always something fun going on in town, but if you just want to kick back and relax, the cabin has a big deck on the lakeside for lounging and enjoying the view. You'll see osprey, bald eagles, quail and a great variety of waterfowl. Our private dock is perfect for fishing and sunbathing. There is a kayak and rowboat available for exploring Fry Creek and the lake. We provide a gas grill for outdoor cooking and a small fire pit for toasting marshmallows or just enjoying an evening campfire.
The cabin has two bedrooms. The larger bedroom has a queen bed and private full bath. The smaller bedroom has a twin bed and private half bath.
The kitchen has everything you need to create your own meals, or visit one of the three restaurants within walking distance of the cabin.
Come explore all that our area has to offer, and then relax in cozy comfort.
Our Dad's family moved to Sandpoint in 1919 when he was 4 years old, and Mom's family arrived in 1924 when she was just 2 years old. Mom and Dad were married in 1939 and built their first home in Sandpoint on St. Clair Ave. They continued to live there until retirement from the family business in 1973. All three of us children grew up in Sandpoint where we enjoyed the best childhood anyone could wish for in a clean, safe,friendly community with all the recreational opportunities this area had to offer. As adults, we have all returned to this paradise in Bonner County to raise our families.
Jon Hagadone purchased this cabin in 1968
Our parents purchased the cabin in 1968 as their retirement dream home from a long-time family friend, J.R. Adam. Mr. Adam bought the waterfront lots and built the original cabin in 1912 for his family's summer retreat. J.R. Adam was also the first owner of the Economy Grocery and that building still stands on the corner of Pine St. and Second Ave. in Sandpoint. Our mother spent many happy summers on this property as a young girl with her family, so it was a natural for our parents to eventually become the owners of this beautiful lake retreat. The cabin was quite simple in design in the beginning, so Dad, with help from family and friends spent 4-5 years remodeling the old cabin into a comfortable home. He added the half bath and another bedroom and reinvented the kitchen, as well building a large deck and the present dock. Our parents have both passed away now so we have decided to share our special place with others and let you experience all that we have enjoyed these many years.
Five generations of our family have enjoyed countless happy times at this cabin. We have been a part of this community for many years and hope to be here for years to come. We take deep pride in where we live and enjoy meeting new people who visit our town. We're pleased to be able to share the charm of our cabin and the experience of our wonderful community with others.
The cabin is a short distance from Sandpoint, whether you choose to drive the 2 miles, ride your bike, boat or walk and the scenery is beautiful no matter how you get there. The views from the deck, beach and dock are abundant and the cabin is quite cozy with it's gas stove in winter and the cool breezes in summer.

I just love this little post from econsultancy which highlights how companies are forgetting customer service and best practice when they move to the online medium. It's actually quite easy to spot these major no-no's in some of today's biggest online retailers. Actually it's funny because the water cooler talk in the office yesterday was around email marketing and what each person's threshold was for the number of emails one gets from any particular retailer. I personally like getting certain retailer emails frequently whereas others considered it annoying. Some people did not like the Big Brother feeling when an email identified what you had purchased and made some recommendations. OK HAL9000, maybe it's time to take it a little slow.

Man accused of robbing banks to appear in court
Updated On: Mar 06 2013 07:45:47 AM CST
A man who police believe robbed a pair of banks and was about to rob a third will make an appearance in court Wednesday.
Rodney O'Neal was seen walking in a circle near Mason and Water streets Feb. 22. Two police officers recognized O'Neal as a man who may have robbed a U.S. Bank and an Associated Bank earlier in the month.
Officer John Tabaska said after the arrest that O'Neal made a stunning admission.
"'I was minutes from doing something stupid that could have cost my life. What you did saved my life,'" is what Tabaska said O'Neal told him as officers approached.
O'Neal will be in court Wednesday afternoon and faces 40 years in prison if convicted.

Based on, as yet, unconfirmed reports in Brazil's O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper, 23-year-old Brazilian Luis Razia is expected to fall short in meeting the sponsorship requirements to make his Formula 1 debut with the Marussia F1 team.
According to speculation on the net, this has left the door open for Narain Karthikeyan to fill in the vacancy left in the team after Timo Glock's unexpected exit from the team.
Karthikeyan, who had been linked with a switch to Indycars, is believed to have been in line for further backing from sponsor TATA Motors who had expected him to continue in F1 with HRT prior to the team's sudden closure and sale to an automotive recycling company in Spain.
SpeculationsDoubts about Razia following through with his arrival at Marussia started to circulate after he failed to get behind the wheel of the team's new 2013 car even once during the second of three pre-season tests at Barcelona.
New signing Max Chilton had been doing testing duties for the team and is expected to go solo again for the final test from February 28 to March 3.
Karthikeyan's racing career since his participation in British Formula 3 in 1998 has been supported primarily by TATA and it remains to be seen if the group, which is now under new management following Ratan Tata's retirement, is keen to continue its support to India's first F1 driver.
Should Karthikeyan not get the backing in time, it will be the first time since the Indian Grand Prix being included in the F1 calendar that no Indian driver will be on the grid.
With the exception of Japan-based Formula Nippon, Karthikeyan has won races in every single-seater series he raced in prior to his F1 debut where he has, as of now, had to make do with driving for tail-end teams.
This has included wins in British F3 against a field that included 2009 F1 world champion Jenson Button.
During his five-year absence from F1, from 2006 to 2010, Karthikeyan also won races for Team India in the popular, but now defunct A1 GP series.
Karthikeyan has also been linked to a drive with Force India every now and again but has maintained that talks with the team have never included any serious discussions about a race seat.
It's not all glamour for the Formula One drivers who endure demanding conditions while in the cockpit. They're subjected to incredible wear-and-tear. HT reveals their fitness regimens.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Monngakgotla, Oabona Clifford email@example.com URN etd-07222008-123004 Document Title Policy makersĺ knowledge and practices of intellectual property rights on indigenous knowledge systems in Botswana Degree MEd (Science and Technology Education) Department Curriculum Studies Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr L Jita Supervisor Keywords
- policy implementation
- prior knowledge
- indigenous knowledge systems
- coordination
- domain knowledge
- cognitive process
- intellectual property rights
Date 2008-04-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractIn the wake of diversifying economy through science and technology, the government of Botswana is particularly inclined to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS). IPR in its nature of advocating exclusive rights by the creator comes into direct conflict with the practice and understanding of IKS as community property, and a shared resource. To date, there is very little research work that explores policymakersĺ knowledge about IPR and IKS in developing countries. Botswana, a developing country is yet to benefit from this type of research.
This research investigated policymakersĺ knowledge and practices of IPR on IKS in Botswana. The focus was on policymakersĺ knowledge and practices, interaction with policy, and how their actions could be understood and explained. The study was conducted in four government departments, and one non-governmental organisation. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis were used to collect data. The findings of the study show that there is general lack of understanding about IPR in the public domain. Policymakers nonetheless know quite substantially about IPR and very little about IKS. This position puts indigenous knowledge on the periphery, and on the brink of being swallowed by other technologies.
Moreover, the study uncovered evidence that the IPR and IKS activities are fragmented and policymakers treat each other with a great deal of suspicion and misunderstanding, hence affecting successful implementation of policy and projects particularly between two units in the study- the ministry of Communication, Science and Technology and the ministry of Trade and Industry.
The study concludes by arguing that policymakers still require a great deal of assistance to really make sense of their practice. A lot of teaching and learning about policy is necessary to encourage broader participation in science policymaking in the context of a developing country like Botswana.

DES MOINES – A Cumming man suffered a serious hand injury when the muzzleloader he was firing at a deer Wednesday afternoon exploded.
Theodore Larsen, 69, was hunting from an elevated stand south of Truro when the muzzleloader he was using exploded in his hands while he was trying to harvest a deer late Wednesday afternoon. His thumb was severed by the blast and was unable to be found.
Larsen was airlifted to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines.
The incident is still under investigation by the DNR to determine why the muzzleloader exploded.

The name of the hospital ended up being the biggest clue of all. Throughout the entire episode, I was frustrated, wondering why I didn't know which hospital Neela had decided on. Did I miss it? Was it mentioned last week? About three quarters of the way through, I realized my not knowing was purposeful and then I just waited patiently for the ending I hoped would come.
Love her or hate her, Neela (Parminder Nagra) has been an essential element of the story throughout these later years. But in a sense, her journey closely mirrored that of Carter. She started off as a fresh-scrubbed, eager student, learned many painful, difficult lessons along the way and exits County General as a confident, gifted surgeon. The road has not always been smooth for Neela, personally or professionally. But eventually, she was able to find her footing and also find fulfillment and love. Actually, she found quite a bit of love and I think she may hold the record for most workplace dalliances and flirtations. I will be the first to admit that I didn't always agree with Neela's choices, or, frankly, understand her appeal, but the complicated, well-written and acted characters aren't always easy to like. I was ceaselessly frustrated by the romantic turntable of Tony, Lucien and Ray but from those missteps came a friend, a mentor and a soul mate so who can argue with that?
When Haleh took Neela to "the wall," I once again got emotional as she reflected back to her first day, her romance with Gallant (whose name started the waterworks for me) and her rich, complicated friendships with Abby and Pratt. It was so good to see Mekhi Phifer again in flashback. As for Maura Tierney, it was nice to see her, but her appearance was, in my opinion, somewhat uninspired. While it was good to see Abby settled into her new life with her sardonic wit in tact ("Thursdays are shared childcare days. I hate Thursdays,") it wasn't very impactful.
Back to the name of that hospital. I wonder how many hits "Lechatlier" received on Google once Neela got off that elevator. For those who did not do the requisite research, LeChatlier's Principle of chemistry states "If a system at equilibrium is disturbed, the system will, if possible, shift to partially counteract the change." As Neela wrapped things up with Brenner and started her new life with Ray, it is fair to say that equilibrium had certainly shifted. For Brenner, Neela provided a catalyst for coming to terms with his past, causing him to change his mindset and seek help. I was glad that they were able to achieve closure because despite knowing they probably wouldn't end up together, she did bring out the good in Brenner while he helped her to embrace the moment. In the case of Neela, the chemistry that Ray brought to her life was undeniable and as much as she tried to fight the attraction, his accident and absence from her life was a tragedy that allowed her to see how much he meant to her. In the end, I think it was very appropriate that she came to him. Shane West's appearance tonight definitely reminded me of George Clooney's appearance back in 1999 to help Julianna Margulies wrap up her story. At the end of the day, we have a lot invested in these characters and seeing them achieve happiness in their lives is extremely cathartic for us as viewers. (Okay, so maybe I get a little more emotional than a rational person should. So shoot me.)
As for the rest of the episode, I resort to bullet points:
- The story involving the son-in-law harboring a terrible secret nicely mirrored the overarching themes and was especially well-acted.
- Watching Archie find peace and love (complete with donkey ears) is extremely gratifying.
- I loved Frank's party planning, including Indian dancers and a Gandhi piñata that was just too politically incorrect for words.
- I was also touched by Lucien and Neela's emotional farewell. These two had great chemistry together over the years and their complicated relationship grew into a mature friendship based on an underlying attraction and mutual respect. I thought it was a nice touch to have him immediately start mentoring Andrew. It reflected a theme of ER that has been reiterated time and time again over the years - life does, in fact, go on.
With only two weeks left, I'm reeling with nostalgia, can't wait to see what's in store, and am dreading the end.

Hope you don't have premature labor. At least you will get to check on your baby regularly. Is this extra amniotic fluid? I don't think I have heard of it.

thank you for youe messages everyone x
It is basically far too much fluid, apparently the main concerns are prem labour and cord prolapse which can be dangerous. Been told the minute I have any signs of labour I need to get to hospital asap.

ROAD SHOW: Interview owner Peter Brant and co-editorial director Glenn O'Brien brought their revamped magazine to the "Charlie Rose Show" Wednesday night, discussing the title's new direction and the influence of its creator, Andy Warhol, who would have been 80 this year. The two also shared the stage with contributing fashion editor (and Brant's wife) Stephanie Seymour, and Marc Jacobs, who appears in a white wig as Warhol on Interview's June/July cover (Brant Publications' other editorial director, Fabien Baron, missed the taping two weeks prior because he was stuck at a shoot). The quartet discussed how Warhol's impact on society translates today, including the concept of business art. "Andy was the first artist who really understood that to compete in a corporate world you had to be a corporation," said O'Brien. "You have to have your team and your company. That's the change, probably the most profound change he made in the art world. Now you see artists like [Takashi] Murakami, who Marc has worked with, and Jeff Koons, they employ a couple hundred people. The idea of the starving artist in his lonely garret, it doesn't apply anymore."
Jacobs also believed Warhol's mantra of everyone having their 15 minutes of fame is prevalent in the Internet age. "You turn on the television and everyone is famous for 15 minutes. You turn on the Internet or YouTube or Google or whatever. You can Google anybody," Jacobs said.
The Interview team also talked about the title's upcoming redesign with its September issue, which Brant and the company have said will incorporate more of its original format — "more humor, more glamour," as Seymour described last night. Jacobs said what could result is Interview being yet again like "a cool accessory." "Now more than ever, a magazine has to perform in that way. If it's visual language and it's content, you've got this great accessory that's rich and full, but it also looks sort of cool," he said.

The Hokies remained perfect at home this season after a 70-59 win over the clemson tigers. Virginia Tech and duke are the only two ACC teams that are still undefeated at home.
Malcolm Delaney, the league's leading scorer, struggled from the field, but levied massive damage at the free throw line, scoring 20 of his 30 points from the charity stripe. Terrell Bell followed up his stellar performance Thursday night against unc with 10 points and 5 rebounds against the tigers. Jeff Allen added 13 points and 5 boards.
Tech got off to a very poor start, scoring just one point in the first seven minutes and falling behind 9-1. In fact, the Hokies only managed four field goals in the first half, got outrebounded and shot 15 percent, yet managed to lead at the half 29-27 behind 15 free throws from Delaney.
But a 9-0 run late in the first half turned a 6-point deficit into a halftime lead and a 15-4 run early in the second half put VT ahead to stay, blowing a close game out to a 51-41 lead. The Hokies never trailed in the final 14:48 and pushed the lead up to as much as 15 points.
If this game had been a song, it would have been the Whistle Song (much like Thursday). Only tonight most of them were on the bad guys. clemson was called for 30 fouls and dealt with foul trouble all game. The Hokies hit 38 of 46 free throws (83%) to fill in for a lack of shooting.
Tech is now 5-3 at the halfway mark of ACC play before they head to nc state. While the pack are at the bottom of the ACC, they own the Hokies. Raleigh is one of just two places VT hasn't won at in ACC play (fsu is the other).
Niemo's Notes:
Posted in 2009-10 Season, Game RecapsComments (8)
Posted on 06 February 2010.
This is a big game for the Hokies. While a hangover from Thursday's emotional win over unc is a possibility, the Hokies cannot afford to let that happen. This is a big game for Tech's NCAA Tournament chances, probably bigger than Thursday's game. clemson is sitting 32nd in the RPI, well ahead of unc's 77th ranking. So this is a Top 50 opponent, which the tournament committee looks at. VT is at 67, if you were wondering, so there is work left to be done.
The ACC does not have a strong RPI resume to date. duke sits at #4 but then there is a drop-off until georgia tech at #25 and clemson at #32. maryland is at #44 and fsu sits at #45. That is it for the Top 50. And Tech is done with florida state, having lost to them last month, so no chance to beat them in the regular season. The Hokies have just one game against clemson, georgia tech, duke, and maryland, with just this game today and the twerps game at home. So if the Hokies are going to pad their NCAA resume, today is one of their best opportunities.
Today's game reminds me a lot of the game against miami back on 2/19/05. Tech had defeated duke at home less than 48 hours earlier in a program changing win. After losing by 34 to unc, and 35 at duke, the Hokies showed they belonged in the ACC and could battle with the top teams. But less than 48 hours later they had to take on a good canes team. Tech responded, winning 71-58 at home. The similarities are immense in this game – an emotional win against the defending national champs on Thursday night, followed by a Saturday game against a good team. In that game five years ago, the crowd was good but not great. Didn't matter, as the Hokies were playing lights out. With a questionable crowd today due to the weather, we'll see what that is like. If it is anything like the "Ice Bowl" a couple of years ago when the students packed the house for an overtime win over maryland, it actually could be a great crowd today. Hopefully the Hokies will respond as they did five years ago, coming out with confidence and swagger.
Whether or not Demontez Stitt plays, clemson's talented point guard and second leading scorer, could have a big impact today, too. And let's hope Trevor Booker has a rare off day. Hopefully the whistles won't be as common as they were against Tech on Thursday, if Allen gets in foul trouble against Booker, then Davila and Raines will really have to step up defending him.
And as always against clemson, handling their press is key. Lots of turnovers are what clemson wants. Whomever wins the turnover battle will go a long way to deciding this game, as both teams rank at the bottom of the ACC in shooting percentage, but top the turnover margin category.

The Hokies experienced their worst season since the ricky "program bomb" stokes era. Sure, it would have been easy to quit on you, but did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!

92 pts. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate: June, 2008
The 2005 Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia is a beautifully fresh, perfumed version of this wine. It reveals a lovely core of ripe red fruit intermingled with sweet toasted oak and a winsome, attractive personality. Although the 2005 shows outstanding balance, clarity and finesse for the vintage, it remains relatively small-scaled Rancia. Still, its notable freshness should allow it to age gracefully for a decade or so. I would purchase the 2005 to drink over the mid-term, while waiting for the superlative 2004 to come around. Anticipated maturity: 2010–2020.

The creators of ''Will & Grace'' say NBC hasn't been straight with them. According to the Associated Press, David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are suing NBC and in-house production unit NBC Studios for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty, arguing that the Peacock acted in bad faith by lowballing the price of the show, effectively cheating the two writers out of their fair share of licensing money.
The suit, filed thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims NBC Studios acted in bad faith by selling the show to its sister network in 1999 for below the price it might have commanded had other networks been allowed to bid. The original licensing fee NBC paid to NBC Studios was well below the show's production cost, the suit said. A three-year extension of the original deal, signed in 2002 after the show had established itself as one of the network's biggest hits, still came in ''tens of millions of dollars per season below fair-market value,'' the suit said, according to Reuters.
Such suits have been increasingly common in recent years as the lifting of old legal restrictions has allowed networks to own the shows they produce. ''It used to be that production companies had an economic interest to obtain fair market value for their programs,'' the suit said. ''This is no longer true in the increasingly common case of negotiations between closely related or commonly owned parties.'' The creators of ''Home Improvement'' and ''NYPD Blue'' filed similar suits against their production studios.
Asked for a response to the ''Will & Grace'' suit by Reuters, AP, and the New York Times, NBC publicist Rebecca Marks declined to comment, pending the network's review of the suit.

Less Hot Air from Blair
TCS: Tech Central Station - Tony Blair Pulls the Plug on Kyoto at Clinton Summit
Blair, a longtime supporter of the Kyoto treaty, ... prefaced his remarks by noting, "My thinking has changed in the past three or four years." So what does he think now? "No country, he declared, "is going to cut its growth." That is, no country is going to allow the Kyoto treaty, or any other such global-warming treaty, to crimp -- some say cripple -- its economy.
Looking ahead to future climate-change negotiations, Blair said of such fast-growing countries as India and China, "They're not going to start negotiating another treaty like Kyoto." India and China, of course, weren't covered by Kyoto in the first place, which was one of the fatal flaws in the treaty. But now Blair is acknowledging the obvious: that after the current Kyoto treaty -- which the US never acceded to -- expires in 2012, there's not going to be another worldwide deal like it.
So what will happen instead? Blair answered: "What countries will do is work together to develop the science and technology.There is no way that we are going to tackle this problem unless we develop the science and technology to do it." Bingo! That's what eco-realists have been saying all along, of course.
Now I didn't spot that story on the MSM - hat tip to A Tangled Web - though I did note that the BBC reports that on Mars' "scientists also say that deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near the planet's south pole have shrunk for three summers in a row.
They say this is evidence to suggest climate change is in progress."

Courtesy of The Inn at Château Élan
Atlanta: SPLURGE
Where to Go: Braselton, Georgia.
Distance: 30 miles north.
Where to Stay: With its gray pitched roof, wrought-iron detail, and 3,500 acres (with 75 acres of vineyards), the Inn at Château Élan looks like a 16th-century country estate in France; all 346 guest rooms have country-French furnishings and oversize garden tubs. The inn features a winery, spa, tennis courts, four golf courses, and a new Rock Climbing and Challenge Tower, and it has added new cooking classes in a 1,600-square-foot teaching kitchen with high-end Viking stoves.
Room to Book: The Camelot-style Excalibur spa suite channels the setting, with medieval furniture and art—even a suit of armor.
Price: Doubles from $179.
What to Do: Attend a Saturday cooking demonstration by the Château's own chefs, and watch Marc Suennemann (who won the International Association of Conference Centers' Copper Skillet Award) make deceptively simple dishes like tomato consommé. Or put on your own toque and take a class; in "Tour of the Southern Mediterranean," for example, students learn to make Moroccan-spiced chicken with apricot couscous and green olive sauce. With all those cooking-class calories to burn, try the Rock Climbing and Challenge Tower, with seven routes to a 50-foot-high platform. (Climbing reservations recommended.)

Distance from Boston: 110 miles south, almost the end of Cape Cod.

Room to Book: Book one of the charming cottages, which are ready-made for families or a group of friends.
Price: Doubles from $209 (rates lower before June 20 and after August 31); cottages from $349.

Adrien Glover
Boston: SPLURGE
Where to Go: Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Distance from Boston: 115 miles north.
Where to Stay: Reopened in June 2008 after a multimillion dollar renovation, the pioneering green hotel Inn by the Sea, on Crescent Beach, has a new light-filled dining room, lobby lounge with fireplace, expanded wraparound deck, and classic white Adirondack chairs from L. L. Bean scattered around its five-acre property. All 57 of its stylish and comfortable rooms and suites were redesigned to include bright punches of color, contemporary Maine art, and bold fabrics, and its state-of-the-art organic spa features regionally inspired treatments like hot Casco Bay stone massage.
Room to Book: The duplex Spa Suite has a kitchen, palatial bath with walk-in shower and soaking tub, double-height windows, and a small balcony overlooking the outdoor pool, indigenous gardens, and Atlantic Ocean.
Price: Doubles from $290.
What to Do: Venture into Portland (six miles away) for the evening and dine at Bresca, an intimate 20-seat restaurant. Owner-chef Krista Kern (who worked with Guy Savoy in Las Vegas) is creating some of the most delicious and masterfully executed dishes in Maine right now. Don't miss her fried almonds with lavender, fennel salad with anchovy beignets, or honey-glazed duck breast with Roman trading spices, poached nectarines, and mascarpone polenta.
Courtesy of Songbird Prairie Bed & Breakfast
Chicago: SAVE
Where to Go: Valparaiso, Indiana.
Distance from Chicago: 50 miles southeast.
Where to Stay: The lovely Colonial country home with white-trimmed dormers may attract visitors to the Songbird Prairie Bed & Breakfast, but it's the grounds' prairie grass, roses, and many trees that lure the namesake songbirds on their way to and from the Indiana Dunes. The four suites—Bluebird, Warbler, Purple Finch, and Cardinal (with bright red walls, of course)—have whirlpool baths and fireplaces, and a three-course breakfast is served in a sunroom that looks onto the bird-filled woods.
Insider Tip: There's a microphone near one of the hummingbird feeders so guests can hear them "chirp" (a sound that's actually made by their tails).
Price: Doubles from $155.
What to Do: Follow the birds 10 miles north to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and wander along the Cowles Bog Trail through wetland, oak, savanna, and swale for two miles until you crest the dunes and are rewarded with an expansive view of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline. Along dune trails keep your eyes peeled for orange butterfly weed and purple blazing star wildflowers, and the endangered inch-wide blue Karner butterfly.
Courtesy of Delafield Hotel
Chicago: SPLURGE
Where to Go: Delafield, Wisconsin.
Distance from Chicago: 110 miles north.
Where to Stay: The stately red-brick exterior and rich dark-wood paneling in the lobby and restaurant of the Delafield Hotel (the only Small Luxury Hotel in Wisconsin) contrast with the lighter, brighter feeling of its 38 luxurious guest rooms and suites; all have handsome antique furnishings, and some overlook the forested Kettle Moraine hills.
Room to Book: For a romantic getaway, choose the Honeymoon Suite with an Oscar de la Renta hand-carved canopy bed and a full-spa bathroom with BubbleMassage "chromatherapy"—sequenced colored lights designed to enhance one's mood.
Price: Doubles from $200.
What to Do: Browse for restored Victorian furniture and other antique treasures at Rickety Robin or at Christman Art & Antiques (housed in an 1840's barn) in nearby Wales (three miles away) for 19th- and 20th-century American paintings and estate jewelry. Or poke around downtown Delafield, which is itself an antique, with building façades in Victorian, Williamsburg, and Greek Revival styles.
Courtesy of Tremont House
Houston: SAVE
Where to Go: Galveston, Texas.
Distance from Houston: 50 miles southwest.
Where to Stay: Near the center of the Strand Historic District, and with an elegant portico entrance and a four-story atrium lobby with palm trees and glass elevators, the European-style Tremont House has 119 rooms and suites, each with Victorian styling, enamel and wrought-iron beds, black and white furnishings, and marble baths. Built in 1894, the Toujouse Bar has a handsome all-mahogany bar, and the rooftop terrace gives views of the harbor and town. Price: Doubles from $155.
What to Do: Cool off two blocks away at the Star Drug Store, "the oldest drug store in Texas," and sit at the horseshoe counter while sipping an egg cream or cherry fountain soda. Or throw your towel on the white sand at the 100-yard-deep beach at 53rd and Seawall, and escape the heat by slurping a sno-cone or wading in the cooling waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Allison V. Smith
Houston: SPLURGE
Where to Go: Austin, Texas.
Distance from Houston: 160 miles west.
Where to Stay: Located in the modern bohemian neighborhood of South Congress (or SoCo), the über-hip San José Hotel has 40 sleek, minimalist guest rooms with earthy tones, warm woods, and simple, modern lines. A serene garden of native Texas plants has crushed granite pathways linking lobby/lounge, courtyard, and pool. Locals join guests at the lounge to sip Champassions (champagne with passion-fruit juice and raspberries) and Micheladas (Mexican Bloody Marys made of beer, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, soy sauce, lime, and pepper with a salt rim and a lime wedge). At night, red, green, and gold lights illuminate the exterior, giving the hotel a warm and surprisingly homey feel.
Price: Doubles from $200.
What to Do: Music strikes a note in Austin, known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," so dance your way across the street to the Continental Club for blues, country rock, and rockabilly sounds. During the day, beat the heat by going to Zilker Park (two miles away) and swimming in the three-acre Barton Springs Pool, fed by natural springs with a constant temperature of 68 degrees.
Courtesy of Presidio Motel
Los Angeles: SAVE
Where to Go: Santa Barbara, California.
Distance from Los Angeles: 95 miles northwest, with Highway 1 being the more scenic route.
Where to Stay: The hip and trendy boutique Presidio Motel in downtown Santa Barbara uses colorful customized vinyl decals of peacocks, chandeliers, grandfather clocks, giraffes with parachutes, and other playful images to create a modern and individual style for each of its 16 guest rooms.
Price: Doubles from $99.
What to Do: Eat local by making a "Market Foray," a guided tour that leads the culinarily curious to fresh foods at the farmers' market, fishermen's market, C'est Cheese, and Our Daily Bread—all of which are also ideal spots for picking up picnic fixings for lunch to pair with Central Coast wine. To discover more about the region's famous grapes, hit the Urban Wine Trail, which includes eight wineries and tasting rooms near downtown. If you tire of walking, hop on the 25-cent electric trolley.
Insider Tip: If wine is not your thing, try the Greyhound Proper, a cocktail made with fresh grapefruit juice, gin, and candied grapefruit peel (or any other drink), at the Hungry Cat (six blocks southeast), which has a constantly changing menu based on what's fresh from the farmers' market.
Courtesy of L'Auberge Del Mar
Los Angeles: SPLURGE
Where to Go: Del Mar, California.
Distance from Los Angeles: 100 miles south.
Where to Stay: Reopened in early June 2008 after a seven-month, $26 million renovation, L'Auberge Del Mar marries luxury and the beach. A new 12-foot-tall waterfall and pool bar complement its remodeled lobby and 120 guest rooms and suites with white horizontal blinds, woven grass wallpaper, and the colors of the local beach: pale golds, tans, and sea-foam green.
Insider Tip: Book early for July and August, the peak time for the nearby Del Mar racetrack; rooms fill up quickly.
Price: Doubles from $355; two-night minimum stay Friday-Saturday.
What to Do: Walk across the street to Del Mar Plaza for its 50 upscale restaurants and shops, including the Frustrated Cowboy for western gear and Ooh La La for crystal-embellished blouses, lace-and-ruffle tops, and wildly striped sundresses. Or stroll one block in the opposite direction along a landscaped footpath to the beach for 15 miles of continuous sand.
Courtesy of Kona Kai Resort & Gallery
Miami: SAVE
Where to Go: Key Largo, Florida.
Distance from Miami: 65 miles south.
Where to Stay: With a private white-sand beach, a pool and Jacuzzi, a tropical fruit garden, and 11 guest rooms and suites named after tropical fruits, Kona Kai Resort & Gallery sets a junglelike atmosphere for swinging in a hammock. Bright rooms are stylish with simple furnishings and horizontal wooden blinds, but it is the lush grounds that are the real showstopper. French doors open onto hardwood decks and tiki huts shaded by palms, and paths lead to tennis courts and areas for massage or yoga.
Price: Doubles from $211.
What to Do: This is the "International Year of the Reef," so escape the heat while you pay homage to wonderful works of nature by snorkeling, scuba diving, or riding a glass-bottomed boat in nearby all-underwater John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Contact Morningstar Charters, which takes groups of six snorkelers on the Morning Star, a 50-foot sailing yacht, to Molasses Reef, Pickles Reef, and other less visited areas.
Insider Tip: If you'd rather stick to dry land, take a 34-mile side trip north to Homestead, and go wild over the exotic orchids in nurseries like Pine Ridge Orchids and R. F. Orchids. Do not leave Homestead without stocking up on tropical fruits like papayas, star fruit, lychees, atemoyas, or monstera deliciosa (which tastes like pineapple-banana) at the Robert Is Here fruit stand—where Robert Moehling has been peddling exotic fruit for 49 years.

Most B2B organizations already know that mobile technology can have a significant impact on sales enablement. According to a recent Aberdeen Research study, however, mobility now plays a critical role in separating best-in-class field sales teams from their competitors.
The Aberdeen study – Sales Mobility: How Best-in-Class Remote Sellers Are Replacing "See" With "Do" – found that 40% of the best-in-class (BIC) companies surveyed said their sales reps regularly use mobile devices during client meetings. As a result, these reps are able to support their client-engagement activities with real-time access to the web and to corporate data.
Aberdeen Research conducted the study to identify emerging best practices for managing mobile sales effectiveness and to provide a framework by which readers can assess their own mobility strategies. The term "sales mobility" in the report refers to organizational support of sales and/or account management professionals whose work involves out-of-office activity.
The study identified some other common characteristics that distinguish mobile sales enablement at BIC firms:
Not surprisingly, the Aberdeen Study found that an overwhelming majority of all field sales organizations (88%) equip their reps with company-issued laptops, netbooks or tablets. About 68% of these companies also issue sales reps with mobile phones, and 67% have created web portals for remote access to data and applications.
According to the report's author, Aberdeen VP and Principal Analyst Peter Ostrow, the trend towards equipping sales reps with a greater variety of mobile tools and applications will have important productivity benefits.
"The opportunity to utilize both PC-like and phone-ish tools created even more ways for 'road warriors' to use the technologies they most prefer, to get their job done efficiently," Ostrow stated in the report.
At the same time, however, the report identifies a number of areas where BIC companies are using sales mobility to gain a competitive advantage. Half of the best-in-class companies surveyed said that providing access to sales collateral and other key data sources – at any time and from any location – was critical to supporting their field sales activities.
"The most popular desire, deploying mobile applications in support of sales activities, speaks to the enterprise's recognition of the need to retain all the crucial elements of the sales cycle," Ostrow stated in the report. "This includes prospecting, proposing, closing and delivering business value to customers without a concern for physical location limitations."
In addition, 45% of these companies said they enable their sales reps to input/access customer or account data from any device when on-site with a prospect or customer, and 39% deploy mobile apps that support sales processes.
According to the study, companies that engage in these types sales-mobility activities see significant productivity gains: 76% of these firms reported attaining their team sales quotas, while just 53% of companies without a sales mobility strategy reported attaining their quotas. These mobile-enabled firms also reported higher customer retention rates and more accurate sales forecasts than their competitors.
The Aberdeen study also identified the key business pressures that lead sellers to adopt mobile selling protocols. First, the study noted that more than two-thirds of all respondents said growing demands from customers are driving their mobile strategies. Other firms cite increased competition, expansion into new geographic regions and economic pressures as reasons to adopt more aggressive mobile-selling strategies.
While training and education is clearly an important part of any sales enablement strategy, most of the best-in-class companies surveyed are careful not to cross the line into micro-management: Just 5% say that remote monitoring of sales reps or account managers is a priority.
"Sales managers don't aggressively use sales mobility to spy on their staff or track their GPS movements," stated the report.
Besides respecting the professionalism of their field sales reps, part of this reluctance to monitor sales reps too closely may be due to a lack of dynamic sales-coaching tools that are effective in the field. "As far as coaching goes," Ostrow concluded, "while static sales training content was seen as a strong BIC trend, dynamic sales coaching may not yet be ready for the current state of devices and applications in use."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Williamsburg Area, Surry VA. Lightwood is an 18th-Century plantation house nestled in an ancient beech forest in rural Surry County, Virginia. It is surrounded by over 100 acres of woods, fields, trails and streams, and is part of the land given by Chief Powhatan to Pocahontas and John Rolfe as a wedding gift in 1614. The home of a Revolutionary War soldier and his family, Lightwood House was the center of a prosperous mid-sized tobacco plantation in the second half of the 18th century.
Built circa 1760 and 1795, the house is completely restored, and offers exceptional woodwork, with much original detail, as well as all modern conveniences. There are realistic appearing gas logs in the dining room, living room and kitchen for fires in-season. A fenced back yard with period outbuildings, and garden behind the house complete the scene.
There are over two miles of walking trails throughout the property, winding through ancient forest, tree-dotted meadows and over streams and brooks. Lightwood offers lovers of both history and nature a secluded getaway to another time.
While the surroundings are completely rural and secluded, the house is only 1.5 miles from the town of Surry, where basic essentials are available, and 3.5 miles to the free 24-hour, 20-minute car ferry to Jamestown and Williamsburg, which docks next to the 17th century ships at Jamestown. From the dock on the other side of the river, Jamestown is 1/4 mile and Colonial Williamsburg six miles away.
The house has five bedrooms, two large baths (one with a six-foot whirlpool tub and separate marble-tiled walk-in shower), a living room, dining room, large entrance hall, fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, four fireplaces, three with gas logs or stoves (very cozy in the winter), and back porch, for a total of 2400 square feet. There are two queen-sized beds, two double beds, and two twin beds.
The house is furnished with many antiques from the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. There is a picket-fenced back yard with period outbuildings, as well as a garden. Four dog houses adjoin the yard in a fenced-in enclosure. Two miles of nature trails through the woods and fields provide a close-up look at wildlife, including deer, turkeys, foxes, owls, hawks, woodpeckers, and an occasional bald eagle. Lightwood offers a private setting, and a truly unique and exciting opportunity to step back into America's past, all while enjoying the comforts of the 21st century.
We are offering Lightwood as a location for weddings and other gatherings beginning in Spring of 2015, which includes exclusive use of the house and grounds for up to 100 guests. Saturdays, 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, $1500.00. Sundays, 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, $1000.00 Please call or email for details.
Amenities:: Fully Equipped Kitchen, Fireplaces (Gas Logs), Central Heating, Free Long Distance US Calls, WIFI, Air Conditioning, Satellite TV, VCR, DVD, CD Player, Microwave, Dishwasher, Coffee Maker, Refrigerator, Ice Maker, Linens and Towels Provided, Washer and Dryer, 6 Foot Jetted Tub in Bath, Charcoal Grill, Dog Houses, Harpsichord Spinet, Two Canopy Beds (Queen Sized), Two Double Beds and Two Twin Beds, Two Miles of Walking Trails, Children's Playground with Outdoor Toys, and Children's Indoor Toy Closet.
No Smoking.
Activities: Lightwood offers a quiet retreat in a rural setting, where one can enjoy an historic estate and observe nature firsthand on two miles of hiking trails. Nearby in Surry or in Williamsburg, one can enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, historic sites, theater, museums, amusement parks, shopping, dining and other activities.
Area: : Lightwood is located in rural Surry County, surrounded by 85 acres of woods and fields. The historic sites of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown can be reached via the Colonial Parkway, which begins at Jamestown near the ferry pier on the north side of the James River. There are also many historic sites in Surry, including Bacon's Castle, Smith's Fort Plantation, and Chippokes State Park. The historic waterfront town of Smithfield is a 20-minute drive away. Famous James River Plantations are also less than an hour's drive away. Williamsburg is also the location of Busch Gardens, and Water Country USA.
There are very few vacation rentals in the United States dating from this early period of our history. Lightwood is a truly unique opportunity to have a hands-on historic experience, while enjoying all the expected comforts of the 21st century. The Williamsburg/Jamestown area is one of America's most historic. Guests can experience our nation's early history by touring Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and other attractions, returning at the end of the day to the comforts and pleasures of a beautiful and elegant historic country house.
Lightwood is not only for lovers of history, but for lovers of nature as well. Our 2 miles of hiking trails wind throughout Lightwood's own park of old forest, streams, and tree dotted meadows. Wildlife abounds, and deer, turkey, eagles, hawks and other woodland creatures can often be sighted while hiking the trails. It is this happy combination of history and nature which truly makes a stay at Lightwood a memorable, unique experience.
We loved every minute of our time at your magical house. The grounds, the rooms, the thoughtful amenities for guests exceeded our every expectation (and after looking at Lightwood's web site before visit, our expectations were high). We walked the trails, visited the faerie tree, read by the fire (my youngest daughter particularly loved the fantastic selection of children's books), and soaked up the history of the house and the surrounding area. We've been to a lot of rental houses over the years, but none that could compare to Lightwood. I'm trying to plan our summer vacation right now, and all the houses I look at seem like a real letdown after Lightwood! I hope we passed muster as guests so that we can make a return visit to your little slice of heaven. We would definitely like to come back in the future if that's okay with you. In the meantime, I hope you are well and busily fixing up another historic home. You and your family have a remarkable talent for the job!
Please note- The marker on the map is not accurately placed (and I can't seem to get it changed) . If you look a little northwest on Rocky Bottom Road on the map, the first driveway on the left is the entrance to Lightwood. The house is abut 1/4 mile down the driveway.
