US drone strikes kill 7 AQAP fighters, 8 civilians in Yemen
The US launched two drone strikes today in a city in southern Yemen that is currently under the control of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Seven AQAP fighters and eight civilians are reported to have been killed in the airstrikes.
The first strike targeted "a militant hideout" in Jaar, a city in Abyan province that is currently under al Qaeda control, CNN reported. The eight civilians were killed after they attempted to recover the bodies of AQAP fighters, apparently after the unmanned US Predators or Reapers launched a second salvo of missiles into the hideout.
The second strike targeted a home in Jaar that was thought to be used as an AQAP safe house. Three AQAP leaders are said to have been killed in that strike.
Jaar, which is just north of Zinjibar, is a known stronghold for AQAP, and US drones have now hit targets in the city five times this year. The US attacked AQAP in Jaar just five days ago, and killed 8 AQAP fighters. The drones also struck twice in March. One strike targeted a a weapons storage depot on Jabal Khanfar, a hill that overlooks the city. AQAP was moving weapons, including tanks, that had been seized during raids on Yemeni Army bases outside of Zinjibar.
US strikes in Yemen
The US has now carried at least six drone strikes in Yemen this month. Other recent airstrikes are believed to have been carried out by the US also, but little evidence has emerged to directly link the attacks to the US.
The US conducted six airstrikes against AQAP in Yemen in March, and at least six more in April.
The CIA and the US military's Joint Special Operations Command are known to have conducted at least 35 air and missile strikes inside Yemen since December 2009, including today's strike in Abyan province. [For more information on the US airstrikes in Yemen, see LWJ report, Charting the data for US air strikes in Yemen, 2002 - 2012.]
Since the beginning of May 2011, the US is known to have carried out 29 airstrikes in Yemen, with 19 of those strikes taking place so far in 2012. This year, the US appears to be targeting both AQAP leaders and foot soldiers in an effort to support Yemeni military operations against the terror group. AQAP has taken control of vast areas in southern Yemen and has been expanding operations against the government with raids on military bases in locations previously thought to be outside the terror group's control.
Three senior AQAP operatives have been killed in 19 strikes so far this year. The most recent strike that killed a senior AQAP leader took place on May 6, when the US killed Fahd al Quso in a drone attack in Shabwa province. Quso, who has been described as AQAP's external operations chief, was involved in numerous terrorist attacks, including the 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 US sailors. The US obtained the information leading to Quso from a Saudi operative who had penetrated AQAP.
On Jan. 31, US drones killed Abdul Mun'im Salim al Fatahani near the city of Lawdar in Abyan province. Fatahani was also involved in the suicide attack on the USS Cole, as well as the bombing that damaged the Limburg oil tanker in 2002. AQAP said that Fatahani had fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The US also killed Mohammed Saeed al Umda (a.k.a. Ghareeb al Taizi) in an April 22 drone strike on a convoy in the Al Samadah area of Marib province. Prior to the downfall of the Taliban regime in 2001, he had attended the Al Farouq military training camp in Afghanistan. Umda served as a member of Osama bin Laden's bodyguard in Afghanistan before returning to Yemen, and was involved in the October 2002 suicide attack on the French oil tanker Limburg. He escaped from a Yemeni jail in 2006.
The pace of the US airstrikes has increased as AQAP and its political front, Ansar al Sharia, have taken control of vast areas of southern Yemen. AQAP controls the cities of Zinjibar, Al Koud, Jaar, and Shaqra in Abyan province. The terror group also holds Azzan in Shabwa province. AQAP seized control of Rada'a in Baydah province in January but later withdrew after negotiating a peace agreement with the local government.
US intelligence officials believe that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula poses a direct threat to the homeland. The latest AQAP plot against the West, involving an underwear bomb that is nearly undetectable and was to be detonated on an airliner, was foiled earlier this month. The terror group has planned multiple attacks against targets in the US. A strike in Yemen last year killed Anwar al Awlaki, the radical, US-born cleric who plotted attacks against the US, and Samir Khan, another American who served as a senior AQAP propagandist.

can they really be considered "civilian"-those recovering the bodies
Posted by richie g at May 16, 2012 9:36 PM ET:
A missle attack a day keeps AQAP at bay. Bomb the enemy until they sue for peace. That's how wars are prosecuted by the winners, historically.
Posted by Devin Leonard at May 17, 2012 5:57 PM ET:
I don't know how "collateral" this collateral damage was, but my main concern is more dead AQAP members...well done. What we really need to do is get AQAP's master bomb maker, he should be target no. 1....and somehow I think he is:)

Hanford, CA, Feb 13, 2012
-- @@ Agriculture Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development Doug O'Brien today announced Riverdale Public Utility District has been selected to receive $1.86 million in loan and grant funds to improve their water system. O'Brien made the announcement while touring a farm utilizing new technologies designed to reduce the amount of water needed for crops. "Clean water is a basic necessity for the health and economic growth of our rural communities," O'Brien said. "Constructing and improving rural water systems benefit communities by providing reliable access to clean water and create jobs that strengthen economies." The District will use funds to construct a new well for their water system to replace one that went dry. The well will be located on the southeast corner of Riverdale at the east end of West Wood Street. Officials hope for the project to be completed this summer when water usage is at its peak. This project was funded through USDA Rural Development's Water and Environmental Loan and Grant program. O'Brien's visit to the Central Valley is in support of the White House Smart Cities, Smart Communities (SC2) initiative announced last summer by President Obama. His visit included meeting with Fresno-based companies engaged in developing new agriculture technologies and touring a local farm to see the equipment in action. In addition, he highlighted the work of Sebastian, who received a $5.4 million award through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act to provide broadband service in western Fresno County. Tomorrow, he will join officials from SBA at a roundtable meeting in Fresno to discuss opportunities for job creation and economic development in California. USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $155 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

Former University of Tennessee Lineman Says He Took Money To Support Family
Former University of Tennessee Lineman Says He Took Money To Support Family
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Former Tennessee defensive lineman Maurice Couch says family obligations led him to accept benefits, which caused him to lose his eligibility.
Couch is married with a daughter. He said Monday on Tennessee Sports Radio that "as a father, I had to do what I had to (do) to take care of my family." Couch said he feared that his wife otherwise would have to return to her family in Kansas.
Couch played only two games for Tennessee this season before Yahoo Sports reported in September that he received four payments totaling $1,350 from Luther Davis, who acted as a go-between for the players with agents and financial advisers. Tennessee announced last month that the NCAA had declared Couch permanently ineligible.
Couch says he's on track to graduate later this month.

There's one in the queue line, 2nd room in the first water pool you see above you. There's one in the ride, the first "tank" with Dory on the lower right side of the coral, you have to look back at it to see it well. The pearl one is in Bruce's lair, the large signs on either side of the room have them in the lower right hand corner in an oyster. I've heard of the one that's in the actual aquarium, but I've yet to look for that one.
Youv been powerpuffed!

Huh. All of those questions were mine. Weren't there others? Well...looking back now I see the other questions were kind of answered in previews, but I would liked to have seen a definitive answer regarding ship-to-ship battles.
Those last two questions were just throwaway questions. I didn't think you'd actually submit them, heh.
I like how they use "gatekeeper" creatures. It's the traditional way to block off areas in RPG's, but I was under the impression most gamers hate stumbling into an area full of overpowered creatures.
And yes, I can tell the difference between gatekeeper creatures and some random skeleton with a club. Heck, I killed an Ashbeast and grabbed the Berzerker sword at Lv.5.

Oh, I can give you a definative answer on Ship-to-ship battles. There are none. Every interview I have sat in they always say no. So I didn't bother submitting it. Besides, you asked a few interesting questions that a lot of other people, myself included, would have completely overlooked. Good job.
Last edited by risingsun; 11-29-2011 at 03:53 PM.
Well, I was curious about why a modern open world RPG used so many traditional RPG conventions and a fairly one-note character, but I suppose the narrow focus on being rogue-ish explains that (I figured as much with regards to dialogue). I know a lot of critics chalked it up to bad game design.
Hmm..."pirate magic", eh? The only magic I would consider "pirate-y" is voodoo, so that would mean curses and voodoo dolls and the like, unless you consider pirate magic of other cultures. I don't know about that.
I wish fewer people didn't care so much about realism. Like a few seconds of digging time and a chest appearing before you is such a bad thing.

Twitter @FinalMacstorm
Nah, those questions were legit, and the most fun interview questions are ones with a goofy slant that they haven't been asked before. Back when I participated more and Mac would ask staff members to come up with interview questions, I would always try to make ridiculous ones.
EDIT: Just look at the goofy stuff we asked in interviews back before Mac could just tweet jokes to Atlus USA. I'd love to claim "A talking shovel? Seriously?" was a question I came up with, but I don't think it was me.

The lesson here is that dreams inevitably lead to hideous implosions.
This one is my favourite:
Why the move to CD soundtracks with everything? Gamers would likely pay for the complete soundtrack instead of just a sampling, so why not limited editions (other than the fact that an Atlus game is a limited edition by definition) that include that?
Aram: What, you didn't enjoy the bonus soundtrack CD that came with this interview?
Yeah, the super long shoveling animations was a big turn-off for many people. I've read about some people who didn't dig up anything because they hated it so much (yes, they hated the pirate treasure quest).

I think I killed my pump..
I cleaned my 100 sq ft Quad 4 filter and hosed off all the equipment as usual... When I got ready to restart it, after I cleaned the Intellichlor, it wouldn't start,, the Intelichlor illuminated but the pump wouldn't start,, I switched to service mode and the touch pad would not even illuminate ... I removed the cover over and touch pad,and the touch pad and appearantly broke several small clips that hold the touch pad to its base... I did see some water on the circuit board though.... The other intelliflo (the 4 speed) works fine as does all the other equipment.... I think it got wet inside..... and will need service / replacement In the short term,,, can I split the pump from the motor and put the 4 speed in place of the VS to keep the pool from going crazy? The 4 speed only runs additional spa jets and deck jets.. I feel ill with this.... Anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
IF you are OK with moving the electrical connections, I can't see a major issue with this. It might be easier though, to just move the controllers. Four Allen or star drive (I forgot which) screws and up they come without the aggravation of moving the motor. The four presettable speed is a VS-3050 as the spa booster and what you have described as the current VS, is an eight speed with timers. If you have automation, it's programming might be effected. Check it first. Generally, if speeds 5 through 8 are not preset and used, the changing of the pump types [The changing of the VS and VS-3050) shouldn't disturb the programming otherwise. Scott |
I think my main pump is infinitely varible.. anyway it takes the star drive and I'll try and switch the controller... So if my pump worked fine before i hosed it off and now i saw moisture inside the controller and the screen won't illuminate and the pump is dead, I should be able to buy and install a new controller and leave the pump alone, right? |
Yup. I seriously doubt the motor or wet end were affected by water, just the controller. Just make sure power is off. Controller isn't cheap but less than the whole pump and much easier to deal with. Its like Henry said to his son Edsel, "You go ahead and make the cars just let me supply the parts." Scott |
I switched the controller from my inteliflo 4/160 with the dead one.. and the pumps fine... so I need a new controller... but at least I have the filter and intellichlor working now.. that takes some pressure off... Thanks All Ben |

*The Walking Man — Recommended
Posted in Manga Reviews on December 28, 2005 by Johannaby Jiro Taniguchi
published by Fanfare/Ponent Mon; $16.99 US
Although manga, The Walking Man is published in a form more typical to collections of art comics, with jacket flaps and thick, crisply white paper. That suits its subject matter well, positioning it to an audience who can appreciate a series of reflective encounters beautifully illustrated. (Also suited to that audience, it's been flipped, so that it reads left-to-right.)
Each chapter covers one of the man's walks, showing us what he sees. In the first, he's just moved into a new house, and he introduces himself to the neighborhood, meeting a birdwatcher and adopting a dog who becomes his companion on his journeys. Others take him to the town post office or the library or skinny-dipping or home just as it begins to snow.
It's an appreciation of the everyday that's still somewhat unusual in comics, made fresh through the setting of the Japanese suburb, realistic yet foreign. The art style is almost European in its fine line and copious detail. (The man looks to me, a reader of too many superhero comics, rather like Clark Kent with his horn-rimmed glasses and one lock of hair on his forehead. It gave the stories an odd little frisson of contrast, especially when he helps an old lady or interacts with children.)
The full-page image of the man in the crook of a tree, looking out over housetops after rescuing a child's toy, is the very picture of relaxation. Silent contemplation is the mood of both the protagonist and the reader, leading to a new perception of surroundings. I recommend savoring the chapters over a period of time to better let the moods take full effect. Overall, the book provides a welcome feeling of peace to a world where few take the time to enjoy themselves the way the walking man does.
The publisher's website has sample pages available, as does this overlooked manga review.

Bas from the Netherlands
06/22/2006 at 5:13 PMImpressionistic, almost no text, no plot at all. So people who read manga for action or deep storylines will probably find it boring. This book conveys a feeling of happiness about living today, using your senses, trusting the world and being married. A very different manga but to me, one of the best.
[…] All of the stories are thought-provoking, but the gorgeous thin-line work of Jiro Taniguchi (The Walking Man) is a standout. He tells of an orphan girl, a distant cousin, who's about to married in the fishing village where his family lives. It's only an incident in his life but a turning point, a road not taken, in hers. It's not the only piece the reader is left thinking about long after the book's covers have been closed. […]
[…] is the publisher. Fanfare/Ponent Mon has put out some very good translated manga, including The Walking Man and Japan as Viewed by 17 Creators. They've also put out some books that they call […]
[…] checked out this mystery because I adore the detailed thin line art of Jiro Taniguchi (The Walking Man). That's on display, but the story is nothing to write home about. […]
[…] Taniguchi's strength, beautifully detailed art that the reader can get lost in. As in The Walking Man, he uses it to firmly establish the settings his characters move through, which here means the […]

"My wife and I have been to London twice before but our adult children were with us this time and we decided to get the London Pass with the transportation option. It was fantastic. We visited many wonderful sites with which we were already familiar, but we also went to many places just because we had the London Pass - the Royal Mews, Wimbledon, Handel's Home, and more. These unexpected visits were so enjoyable!"

I staid here for a few days to get some quiet time away from the office so I could get some writing done. It was the perfect spot. I spent most of my time in the beautiful, sunlit great room that looks out on a spectacular view of Newfound Lake and the mountains beyond. Each day started with a truly astonishing breakfast. I've staid in many B&Bs; Sondra's breakfasts are the best by far. I also enjoyed her Bernese Mountain dog and friendly cat. And Sondra herself is delightful. She makes you feel right at home and is very attentive without being at all intrusive. A great spot.

My wife and I stayed her for the first 6 days of our honeymoon in the Newfound room. We were going to try out a few different Bed & Breakfasts in New England, but looking back I wish we could've stayed here a little longer. We loved every minute of it. The hostess, Sondra, really went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. She never skimped on anything, and was more than accommodating to our needs. Breakfast was AMAZING, 5 star quality. Each morning we were given something new to try, and she serves multiple courses. She also had many treats and goodies to tide us over throughout the day. The view from her house is breathtaking, and it is nice and quiet. "No tourist traps", my wife just said. If you're looking for a nice place to get away, I can't recommend A Newfound Bed & Breakfast enough! It was worth every penny. Side note: For some reason this site would only allow 4/5 stars in the different areas instead of 5. Everything was 5 star quality.

Our room was very clean and cosy, kept warm by a small gas fireplace. Breakfast was superb, made fresh every morning by Sondra. The living room and loft area were our favorite spots in the house, with a fireplace and spectacular views of the Newfound Lake and surrounding mountains. Sondra made us feel welcome from the start, and was very helpful in suggesting things to do in the area and places to eat. Our stay was so good that we found it hard to leave and would definitely like to go back again for the wonderful experience.

Greeted with a smile with excellent service from the moment we arrived to our departure. Nothing could have been any better. Between the treats and breakfast we were stuffed to the gills. Best b n b yet!

Our stay at A Newfound Bed and Breakfast was nothing less than extraordinary!! Sondra went above and beyond to make our stay as perfect as it could be. The Newfound Room was so homey with the fireplace and breathtaking views. Sondra was an excellent host and suggested delicious restaurants and hikes/excursions to make our stay memorable. Bryan and I are already planning our next trip up!

My fiance and I spent our one year anniversary here at A Newfound Bed&Breakfast..this place is amazing! The hospitality there was unbelievable from the chocolate candy hearts for our anniversary to the cleanliness and tidyness of the room with all the amenity with candles and bath salts for the hot tub. This all goes along with a splendid view from our private balcony of the lake and mountains. Sonya has an amazing personality and so pleasant and easy to talk with. I really think she has something going and will do amazing. Thank you for an amazing time and a gorgeous memory.

We took a very spur of the moment trip and ended up in Paradise! A Newfound B&B is perfect, it's everything a good B&B SHOULD be. Sondra is exceptionally friendly and welcoming and the breakfast she made for us was marvelous. The place is wonderfully decorated and the rooms are very comfortable. The landscaping is simply beautiful and the view just can't be beat! We enjoyed every minute and our dog - well, I think she had the most fun she's EVER had! I cannot recommend this place highly enough,. In fact, we already have reservations to go back there next year!

Sondra the Hostess ,and owner is awesome! She makes this place seem like home. She is an angel, with a great personality! Great, friendly atmosphere! We couldn't ask for more. From the s'mores at the fire pit, to the gourmet breakfast each morning to the fresh fruit and vegetables from her garden. The landscaping is beautiful,and the views from up there are sensational! From the lake, to the mountains,to the spectacular sunsets, this place has it all! The inside is so cozy, and well decorated. Her dog Bernie is so friendly. So much to do, or not do,as is my case! I just enjoyed the serenity of it all. Thank you Sondra for a wonderful time!

I took my son up to NH for his spring break and we, unexpectedly, got caught up in a big snow storm. I could not have been happier being stuck at the Newfound B&B, which ended up being a snow castle in the sky, high above Newfound Lake! Sondra made us feel right at home and taught us how to make chai tea latte, which is delicious and although she makes breakfast every morning, which leaves you full all day, there are always snacks left out. The rooms are neat and clean and loaded with antiques and character, the common areas are comfortable and warm (fireplace) and the view is amazing. You will never leave her B&B hungry, cold or tired. Lots to do up there in the winter, including building a snowman, playing with her beautiful bernese mountain dog, hills to sled down, frozen lakes to walk on, and trails for snowmobile riding. And Sondra is one of the most thoughtful people … but that may be more just the way of life in NH. We had a blast, can't wait to go back, and highly recommend staying at the Newfound B&B.

We have nothing but good things to say about our stay here. Sondra was an excellent host. Our room was luxurious and comfortable. Great accommodations. The view was stunning. Breakfast was outstanding. Overall, a wonderful experience

My husband and I chose this B & B for our 30th wedding anniversary, and it exceeded all our expectations -- views, luxurious accomodations, scrumptious breakfasts and an innkeeper who was helpful in finding us directions and suggestions for gook hiking spots, sights and the best nearby restaurants. One night she made a fire outside and provided all the makings for S'mores. Another day she left cheese and crackers and homemade eclairs in our little fridge. This is a beautiful and relaxing inn, convenient to the lakes and White Mountains. Mountains. We felt pampered and rejuvenated.

We reach at the Newfound bnb and feel like members of family! Sondra is wonderful hospitable and inviting us for using her house as our house - so we did and enjouyed our stay so much - we can`t describe. We had the "newfound-room" - it`s a big room with balcony and a wonderful view and a jacuzzi!! You had to know, that there is an "open bath" - but you can use another additional. The breakfast had been like a dinner and you can always use the kitchen and can also have coffee, tea, juice, water, milk and selfmade cake and pie. We wish to come back...

What a lucky find! Do not let the fact that you may feel you've lost your way as you ascend from road to gravel to dirt. Instead you now have happened upon a most perfect spot! The gardens are enchanting with colors ablaze and wonderful scents. There are many places to rest and drink in all the outside beauty and get a glimpse of the chickens that will be supplying some of the mornings breakfast. Once you enter the B&B it will be hard to take your eyes off the magnificent views of the mountains and lake but your nose will be directed to the very attractive open kitchen in which no doubt that Sondra will either be baking or has left the most delectable treats. Full use of the kitchen is a great plus. Breakfast was extraordinary and abundant served either inside or out - how accommodating! The common areas are so tranquil yet there are many games, dvd's, computer usage...and so much more. Our feature entertainment were the resident dogs Samantha and Bernie! Our bedroom was sumptuous with a great bathroom and an oh, so comfortable bed. Sondra's personality surely is perfect for her chosen profession and her B&B - superlative!!! B & R New Bedford MA

ANFBB and Sondra were absolutely wonderful. Staying here was unlike any other B&B I've ever stayed in. This was like being waited on while owning a gorgeous vacation home. Sondra is unbelievably gracious, and out to make your stay thouroughly enjoyable and relaxing. She even gave us her truck to take her kayaks out for the entire day. Fresh brownies, cookies, and cake always available for a snack at any time. Open use of the kitchen for coffee or tea at any time of the day or night. And her breakfasts? If you leave hungry it's your own fault cause you get enough delicious foor to cover breakfast, lunch, ... AND dinner ... Sitting by the fire watching a beautiful sunset across the valley behind Mt Cardigan is a great way to end the day. Can't wait to go back again and try the other three seasons of the year.

My fiancé and I stayed at A Newfound Bed and Breakfast in June of 2013. We stayed in the Cardigan room with our dog for five nights. It was a stay that we won't soon forget, for all of the right reasons. The B & B home was spacious, welcoming and beautifully decorated. The views from the deck were awe inspiring. Our room was comfortable, cozy and also had a beautiful view of the mountains and Newfound Lake. We were not lacking for things to do! The innkeeper-owner, Sondra, is very knowledgeable about the area and recommended all of the right activities and restaurants for us. We kayaked, hiked and bicycled in the area. What's special about this inn? From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we were made to feel "at home", (without the work)! The house was available to use, including kitchen, living room, fireplace, loft /game area, and computer. The grounds were also ours to use, including grill, outside decks, fire pit, & hammock. Sondra cooks and serves delicious gourmet breakfasts with fresh ingredients. I appreciated her attention to detail in the rooms, on the grounds, and with her services. We have stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts in the past, and have often felt as though we were guests. Here we were treated as if we were family. This is what is truly special about this inn. If you would like to experience a relaxing, true home-away-from home experience, I highly recommend A Newfound Bed and Breakfast!

My wife and I spent the first weekend of June here and were blown away by the comfort, service, and beautiful layout. The rooms are spacious, extremely clean, and beg for you to relax. The view of the Lake is breathe taking and the house is amazing and extremely clean and well keep. Sondra makes you feel like the house is yours and her cooking and service is spectacular. We live in Plymouth MA and spent the weekend in Bristol for a wedding, A NewFound BnB is the best money I have spent on a room in at least a decade and we were nervous about BnBs because we had never stayed at one, well.......not any more. We are recommending this place to everyone I know

My wife and I were looking for a weekend away from the daily grind. We chose to spend three nights at "A Newfound Bed & Breakfast" based on all the positive reviews we'd seen on line. We couldn't have been happier. The entire Inn, our room, the kitchen, the balconies and the great room all had perfect views of Newfound Lake and the surrounding mountains. Breakfast was so good (and the portions so generous) that we enjoyed it both in the morning and the evening. Sondra, the inn keeper and owner, was delightful and made sure that our stay was comfortable. This was the relaxing, quiet, get-away weekend that we had been looking for. It really was "a little slice of heaven". We will be back.

We stayed at the Newfound B&B in early June and could not have been happier with our stay! Sondra was an AMAZING host and made it hard to leave. We stayed in the Barn Suite which is not pictured and only opened when the Inn is very full because it is above the Innkeepers quarters but we absolutely LOVED it! Sondra was incredibly flexible with us and allowed us to come back after the race around 2pm to retrieve our belongings. The grounds were impeccable and the house itself was one of the most beautiful and inviting we have stayed at to date. There were plenty of goodies and snacks available - the red velvet cake was amazingly delicious but horrible for my post baby diet ;). Breakfast each day was great and Sondra was even flexible to make a more "traditional" breakfast for our extra picky father in law. On race day my husband was impressed that the "bag breakfast" was exactly what he would have had for a pre-race meal - banana, vitamin water, CliffBar and trailmix! My husband and I have nothing but amazing things to say about A Newfound B&B. A word of caution- you will think you are lost when you attempt to find it for the first time and it is not to be confused with the Inn at Newfound Lake. We pulled over at asked for directions at a local gas station and they only new the Inn as "Sondra's Place" (shows how small a town Bristol is). To keep from getting lost just know that the road will become dirt, you will feel like you are climbing a mountain (which attributes to the amazing view) and one of the roads you have to use to get to Mandi Ln says that it is a Private Road. As odd as the combination sounds, the Italian/Japanese Restaurant in town was one of the best restaurants we have been to! Overall we loved our stay and wish that we lived closer so we could visit this gorgeous and relaxing B&B again!

We thought we'd stayed in some good b&bs before but this was without doubt the best we have ever visited! Sondra could not be more welcoming or accommodating. The breakfasts are so good and the whole house and surrounding area is lovely with a view over the lake that is spectacular.

My fiance and I have visited Newfound three times and we refuse to go to any other B&B. Sondra at Newfound has set the bar high with luxurious accommodations, breathtaking views and delicious food. This B&B is much more updated than other B&Bs we have stayed at and the food is top of the line and served in generous portions. We recommend the Newfound room which has a large brick fireplace, huge windows with a view of mountains from bed and a roomy hot tub in the private room. It's warm, clean, private and relaxing. Sondra can give great recommendations on local dining and activities, and there are movies, games and expansive grounds on site to keep you busy. The Newfound room is a little expensive ($250 per night) but if you book two nights, you get the third free. It's a great location for a long weekend away. We highly highly recommend this B&B.

Where do I even begin? My husband and I discovered Sondra's oasis, otherwise known as A Newfound Bed and Breakfast, three years ago when we were looking to get away for just a night. The drive through the woods, up a hill, brings you to breath taking veiws and a gorgeous property. You truly feel relaxed just by stepping out of the car and looking around, and you haven't even stepped inside yet. Sondra, the inn keeper, greeted us like we were family; she was friendly and down to earth. She showed us around, made sure we were comfortable, and then left us to enjoy the house. You could play games or curl up with a good book in any of the cozy common areas; if you have the pleasure of staying in the Newfound room, you can relax in a hot tub right in the room with fabulous veiw of the mountains! Sondra takes pride in the appearance and cleanliness of her Bnb. Everything was spotless, clean, fresh and bright. I highly recommend the Valentines Day Anyday package- we were greeted with the bottled beverage of our choice and my husband and I each got an excellent massage by someone Sondra brings in from the area. To finish off the evening, we had a romantic dinner that Sondra picked up from a nice restaurant in town. Everything was incredible. We enjoyed a glass of wine next to a warm fire before we went to bed. Sondra cooked us an amazing, scrumptious breakfast. That was the icing on the cake. For our entire stay, she always made sure we had what we needed, but still giving us privacy and space to enjoy our weekend away. In closing, A Newfound Bed and Breakfast sets the standard for bed and breakfasts everywhere! We have yet to stay anywhere that even comes close to mesuring up! This is truly an amazing place, and once you come here, you will be compelled to come back year after year. My husband and I booked a stay for April and cannot wait to be there!

We took the weekend for a special getaway and couldn't have been happier. This is truely one of the best B&B's we have ever stayed in. The views from the property are amazing, the breakfast is to die for and Sondra is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who is looking for a quiet weekend getaway, I know we will sure be going back.

This Bed and Breakfast is even more fabulous than we could have expected. Sondra was an excellent host. We felt pampered and relaxed every moment. The views were unbelievable.

We've stayed at many B&B's through our travels, and this one is definitely one of our favorites! It is situated on the top of a mountain, offering spectacular views from our room windows, the patio and the cat walk! We were happily greeted by two lovely and well-behaved dogs that are owned by the Inn Keeper, and friendly enough to call them your own while you're there. The smell of fresh baked cookies and chocolate cake were enticing and comforting, all at the same time. We stayed in The Newfound room and were so pleased with the homey, yet romantic atmosphere it provided. The hot tub inside the room was a luxury and begged for morning and evening relaxation time! The view in September was sublime, and we can't wait to visit in the winter. And of course, the home-cooked gourmet breakfasts were enough to make us want to go back soon. Every detail throughout the B&B was carefully designed by the warm and friendly Inn Keeper, Sondra, whose main goal is to make your stay the best ever. Celebrating my 40th birthday at A Newfound Bed & Breakfast was a wonderful surprise! Vickie & Sharon Natick, MA

The Newfound B & B is spectacular! The nicest B & B we have stayed at. The rooms were fantastic, the staff attentive and friendly, the views are absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious - dessert first! We stayed for our anniversary and had the most enjoyable and romantic time; we definitely plan on returning for get-away weekends. The website cannot do it justice - it is a wonderful and relaxing location. Having access to all the amenities is a definite plus: grills, microwave, stove, full size stocked refrigerator; prepare your own, dinner in, dinner out, delivery. A must stay for heading out to the lakes region.

My wife and I had a number of "honey-do" projects lined up during the winter break (works in the school system) though also wanted to get away for a night for mental health. As a kid, I spent my summer months, and many weekends on Newfound Lake and in the surrounding area, I figured this would be a good opportunity to go back to "the lake" and see what has changed, and found "A Newfound Bed & Breakfast" on the internet. This place was perfect for us. The views of the lake, looking out over Mayhew Island and Whittamore point towards Arrowhead point, The Ledges, and with Mount Cardigan forming the backdrop was both beautiful and memory inspiring. The B&B is very fresh, open, well decorated, and comfortable. Sondra was great. She showed us through the home, our rooms, the beautiful common room area where activities were, the music, etc. And, even tough she was literally visiting a surgeon to schedule a knee operation she required, she never missed a step in providing the service we expected. Thank you Sondra for establishing such a nice place to get away, for cooking a great tasty and filling breakfast, and letting us take our time checking out. Great place to relax.

We thought the property and the view were amazing! There were so many wonderful places just to sit and relax - and the room we had was unbelievable! Sondra is a wonderful innkeeper, and I would recommend this property to any and all! We can only hope to go back some day. Don't miss this if you enjoy B&Bs all over the country!

I went here for a getaway weekend on the advice of my oldest son who had been to Newfound B&B a few times. His advice was right on! Gorgeous setting and views. Very comfortable room and Sondra was the perfect host. I have given both of my sons B&B gift cards for Christmas (which gave me a bonus gift card) and I hope all three of us use them at a Newfound B&B. I can't imagine a better time or place!

A truly unexpected diamond in the rough. I was floored by the amenities. 5 Star all the way, smack dab in the middle of the woods! I needed to get away for a night from Boston. My choice was Provincetown or New Hampshire. P-town would offer to many distractions from the current issue that was on my plate...so I chose wisely. And this B&B was my choice. I might as well have rented a night in one of the Boston hotel suites...but I had it better...the million dollar view was magnificent! I lulled myself to sleep with a fire next to my bed as I read a book. Waking up to the aroma of I think Maple Walnut Sausages! Ahhhhhh....LOL I was in heaven! The B&B was extremely clean, internet and fireside living room was exactly what I needed for a brief pause in my life. I'm definately going back!

A Newfound Bed and Breakfast exceeded our expectations in all areas! My husband and I spent one night in the Newfound room and I was very sad to leave! The decor was charming and cozy and the entire house was spotless with a million dollar view to boot! Breakfast was absolutely delicious! Sondra was very hospitable and made sure that we were very comfortable. She is a wonderful innkeeper. I truly felt pampered. We highly recommend this B&B to anyone who wants to get away from it all to have a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

The views are beautiful! Sondra was great! I loved the decor of the rooms! We went snowshoeing one day and shopping in Meredith the next. I can't wait to go back this summer for hiking and kayaking! This is one of the best B&Bs I've ever stayed at!

We tried this new B&B, choosing the Cardigan Suite. This second floor suite had a gas fireplace, a 2 person bubbly tub, every modern accutrement, and ultimate privacy. The B&B is sited on a hillside with spectacular views of Newfound Lake and the mountains behind although from the Cardigan Suite the views are somewhat limited by the positioning of the windows. The large public spaces all offer great views and areas to relax and enjoy them. Sondra, the innkeepeer, was exceptioally accommodating, even offering use of the modern kitchen. Breakfast was copius and delicious. Cooking was creative country style and took advantage of the eggs just laid by Sondra's chickens.

This is the place to do it. The veiws are breathtaking and the Inn is absolutely beautiful. We stayed at peak foliage and It was absolutely wonderful. Sondra anticipated our every need and she has a gift when it comes to cooking. The room we had overlooked the lake and Mt. Cardigan, what a way to wake up. I don't ever remember being so relaxed. We loved it so much we're taking the grown children back for a long weekend in February. It was a truely wonderful experience.

County Line Road
Loxahatchee Florida's County Line Road has quickly grown a large and loyal fan base in the southern music scene, garnering buzz for their "Stomp Country", a unique mixture between southern rock and country music of which people have learned to love!
County Line Road has shared stages with artists such as Florida Georgia Line, Justin Moore, Toby Keith, Chase Rice, Colt Ford and more, and has been invited to participate in large music festivals such as WIRK's Rib Roundup, Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, and Palm Beach Summer Beer Fest.

We had a severe thunderstorm this morning that packed some wind and a little over an inch of rain. After the temper tantrum was over, and I looked around, I was greeted by a few that managed to weather the storm quite well. This first picture is one of my favorite floribundas that came as a band from Vintage, Lili Marleen. My camera just cannot quite get the color right, but it sure does well even as a small plant. My big one does just fine.

Lili Marleen is just amazing. I really enjoyed that a lot. Glad to hear things are going well in your garden and thanks for sharing those. Kate |
Glad your roses and other plants weathered the storm ok. Nice pics! |
Nice pics and lovely rose plants, bustopher! You're in Kansas City just like me..., I love the overcast cool days and the rain because it makes my roses not get roasted into puffball/cabbage patch shapes, and I can finally get the classical hybrid tea form... We too got pelted in Kansas City Overland Park with huge winds and thunderstorm. I was shocked to find out that my crazy large tomato cages on their spindly legs were not blown over on my patio, with nothing tied to them to anchor them down, just the young climbing roses, LOL! looks like the gaps between the patio were enough to keep them in place. I was so relieved.... |

Wonderful photos. Looks like you live by a forest--lucky you. Lili Marlene is a great rose. Malibu, too. Kathy |

Malibou looks sensational!! I don't have a quilled rose, and I've never seen a quilled that color before. Plus as an added bonus it has darker edges!! Does it have scent? That's a rose that I would like to have!!! Carol |
- Posted by the_bustopher Kansas City, MO (My Page) on Sat, Jul 18, 09 at 21:36
I do not notice a strong scent from Malibu. I will have to see what it is like when the weather is not too hot. As for quilling, this rose reminds me a bit of another orange hybrid tea that was a former AARS winner known as Command Performance. It is on the hard-to-find side, but it was a solid orange rather than blended, and it quilled its petals also. It also bloomed in candelabra form more of what one would expect of a grandiflora. It was a nice rose also. |
- Posted by canadian_rose zone 3a (My Page) on Sat, Jul 18, 09 at 21:56
The color (not the shape) reminds me of an orange Elizabeth Taylor. ET has the same shading on the rims of the petals. Carol |

Officially, Jake Locker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Indianapolis. Titans beat reporter Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean, though, says that Locker is closer to "doubtful/out." If that's the case, then Tennessee's starting quarterback against the Colts will be Charlie Whitehurst. It would be the fifth start and 14th game played of Whitehurst's nine-year career, and his first start since he went 0-2 with the Seahawks in 2011.

Minimum Stay | 5 nights |
This beautifully restored oceanfront home has all the charm of yesteryear with the added conveniences and sustainability of today. Offered as a vacation rental for the first time in 2013, the view and location are spectacular. In 2014, The Guardian newspaper listed it as one of the Top Beach Houses in the World. Completely renovated, this updated home has hardwood floors, granite countertops, koa cabinets, stainless steel appliances, iHome docking stations, Bose outdoor speakers with Bluetooth receiver (to pair your own devices and play music) with connections for Android and Apple products (including iPhone 5 & 6), iTouch pre-loaded with various Hawaiian music, wireless internet, full size washer/dryer, brand new California king bedroom set, luxurious bedding, hdtv plasma in great room and bedroom, gas bbq, Tiki Hut for afternoon drinks, teak lounges, etc etc. All lights are on dimmers so you can create your own environment and mood. There's even an indoor switch to light up the water at night to create your own private manta ray and eel show!
Ideally located overlooking Kahaluu Beach, you are within feet of the best snorkeling and surfing on the island. (If you do surf or stand up paddleboard, you can paddle straight out and be in the break in less than 5 minutes.) Dolphin sightings are quite common. During winter months, whales can be seen daily as they swim by.
Uniquely situated on a 9000 sq ft oceanfront lot, this home is a one-of-a-kind. You will experience complete privacy with expansive views up and down the coast. (We also own the property next door where you are free to pick papayas, bananas, etc. or just sit and watch the sunset.) While there is so much to do on the Big Island, you will have a difficult time pulling yourself away from your home and the incredible views and sounds of the ocean. You will find this special place to be relaxing, rejuvenating and inspiring.
Upon arrival you will be provided with tropical flower arrangements, kona coffee, fresh fruit, homemade banana bread, etc. For bookings exceeding 14 days, a 'freshen up' cleaning will be arranged midway through your stay at no additional charge.
Married nearly 20 years, we share the passion for travel and exploration. We own a business in California and Australia, so Hawaii is a natural fit as a stopping off location in between.
Ronald P. Herrema purchased this house in 2013
We have been blessed to have traveled to many parts of the world and have not found a property or location as special as this one. Extensive renovation has been done to make this home both luxurious and sustainable. Expansive panoramic views and the gentle sounds of the ocean create a very unique setting unmatched by anything we have seen.
You will not find a home as close to the water as this one! The sights and sounds of the ocean are mesmerizing. From the large lanai and deck you can watch surfers, paddle boarders and boogie boarders or jump in the water and experience some of the best snorkeling on the globe. Lighting up the water at night makes for a spectacular view.
We just left Kona Moana Hale yesterday. We had a great time in this beautiful and tastefully decorated home. We will surely miss the amazing sunsets, the sound of the waves and the cool ocean breeze. The home had everything we needed and more!
The fruits and goodies basket was a welcome treat. Everything you'll need for the beach (except sun screen!) has been provided - towels, chairs, snorkel sets and icebox.
It was also in the perfect location for everything we wanted to do - exploring the white, black and green sand beaches, snorkeling with the manta rays, visiting the volcanoes and eating out (but we enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the deck the most!). Even if the home was along a busy road, you can't hear any traffic noise because of the sounds of the crashing waves!
We also had a very pleasant experience dealing with Ron, the owner, when we were booking their home. He was very responsive over email, providing suggestions about the island and even calling us when we checked-in, to make sure we had everything we needed.
The Big Island is now our favorite of the Hawaiian islands and Kona Moana Hale was one of the reasons for that!
Ideally located overlooking Kahaluu Beach - the best surfing and snorkeling beach on the Big Island. Central to restaurants, shopping, golf, farmers markets, volcano, etc.

What is Mindfulness?
-Don Sheeley, MD, SMART Recovery Facilitator
I use the term "Mindfulness" to mean Active Self-Awareness.
We can be aware of our internal thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, and we can be aware of the interaction of ourselves with the external world (sight, sound, touch, taste, feel). We can be aware that we take in sights and sounds, etc. from the external world and process them and apply our internal thoughts and beliefs to them. Then we can become aware that there is someone who is aware of all that, and that guy is Me, the same me who was 12 years old, then 29, and now 62. (Yikes!) That's it.
So we're not really "aware of others." We are aware that we hear what another says and then we are aware of what we think about that and how we feel about that, and maybe we are aware of how we process that.
Similarly, mindfulness is not necessarily placid, comfortable, or relaxed. Continue reading

Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Claire came to yoga in 2001, just after having her second child and third back surgery. From the very first OM, she knew that she had found home in her body again. The journey was tumultuous. Slowly she started to heal her body from the many injuries incurred from being a competitive marathon runner, swimmer, and overall fitness enthusiast for the majority of her life. As she started to improve her body and spirit, she soon found teaching yoga not only a desire, but also a necessity. "I found it imperative to share yoga and this life process with everyone. As a teacher, to be able to be a part of supporting someone in connection, whether it be in finding presence in their body, love in their heart, or serenity in their being, is a beautiful thing that needs to be cultivated and shared...

About twelve years ago, I found myself suffering from stubborn physical limitations and ailments. Unbalanced across the board, I craved fine-tuning on a physical, spiritual and emotional level. Yoga was the answer, leading to a new found sense of harmony and wholeness, a reprieve from today's chaotic world. It restored my balance and renewed my inner and outer strength. After two years of practice, while working full time in corporate sales and marketing, I completed my second RYT200 certification. In June of 2012, with over five years of teaching experience, I opened Roots Yoga Studio. Within that same year I was chosen by Lululemon and asked to join their ambassadorship program, which has helped me to grow in an even more positive direction. My love for yoga, along with my...

Jessica's passion for health and fitness began at an early age, when she was a member of the internationally renowned synchronized figure skating team, the Haydenettes, of Lexington, Massachusetts. As a member of the elite 20-time U.S. National Champion and 11-time ISU World Championship team, Jessica trained as a world class athlete, utilizing weights, ballet, Pilates, and cycling to strengthen and condition her body. While a student at Tufts University, Jessica realized that she desired to share her years of performance training with her fellow students. It was with this realization that she began to build her fitness brand, obtaining numerous fitness certifications (including the full classical Pilates repertoire) while actively pursuing her law degree (and later, tax law degree) from...

The road to being a fitness studio instructor and owner has been a fun one. Jody began participating in endurance events such as marathons and triathlons after losing her mother to cancer 10 years ago. The goal was always raise as much money as possible for cancer charities. Through that goal she experienced many injuries along the way and knew she had to do something other than swim, bike and run if she wanted to achieve her fitness and fundraising goals. It was out in San Diego that she discovered SPX Fitness and everything changed. It was not easy for her but she felt and noticed results and made it through the triathlon season injury free for the first time. When life drew her back to Boston she knew that there was nothing quite like SPX, so she brought it back with her. Jody launched... Read the profile >>

Tom teaches a flowing vinyasa style yoga class that synchronizes breath with movement while incorporating simple and clear alignment cues. Each class is consistent in its therapeutic goal of safely opening each part of the body, while expressing the spontaneity and freedom of a flowing style of practice. Tom was first introduced to yoga eight years ago, while attending a lecture on Tibetan Heart Yoga by Michael Roach, the first Westerner to earn the Buddhist title of Geshe, or master. After living for years with a stirred-up mind and mixed-up emotions, Tom was amazed by the clarity with which Geshe Roach described the relationship between the physical body, the breath, and thoughts and feelings.
