I'm three years into butterfly gardening and hand rearing cats. While I want to increase habitats for as many species of MW as I can, tropical milkweed has been the most easy to grow and reliable food source for my hordes of hungry cats. Will definitely double or triple my tropical MW next year.
However, here's a hiccup: the temps here in SW PA are dropping into the mid 40s tomorrow. Is tropical MW hardy enough to withstand that temperature? Will my tropical MW be okay, or will I have to pot it all and bring it inside? |

It should withstand temps in the mid-40's easily. The leaves on mine don't show any effects until it goes below about 35 degrees. Congrats on all your monarchs! Sherry |

It was mid 40's here last night and all the tropical looks fine...it's TONIGHT I am worried about. Freeze warnings in Minnesota. I will have to cover at least one patch for the remaining monarchs. All the monarchs here this morning are gone now. Hopefully they are flapping south for their lives! |

This is a good topic. I've been wondering about mine too since it's gotten down in the upper fourties at night once or twice. I want to try to dig them up and overwinter them inside (try try again). The forecast is for nighttime temps in the upper fifties but I wonder if it would be less of a shock if I just went ahead and dug them up now instead of waiting as long as I can. Mine didn't make any seeds. |

Christie, that seems early...and what about my poor monarchs coming down from Minnesota? ;) (still have 22) Last year, I dug mine up just before the first frost and they did beautifully....they were blooming most of the winter. It was 36 here two nights ago and all my tropical looks fine. I'm hoping two get a couple more weeks out of them! Tropical milkweed has proven to be surprisingly hardy, Tony |

I'd leave them outside until you just have to move them, Christie, like right before your first freeze. You're right, Tony, they are surprisingly hardy. The tops of mine get killed back by our usually mild (occasionally as low as 24 degrees or so) freezes in December and/or January, but they come back from the roots in early spring each year, knock on wood!

Brindle, I'm in central PA and your tropical milkweed will be fine. I have lots of it and have been growing it for about 5 years and mine never got bad until it actually got down close to freezing. I used to wonder the same thing, being that it's originally from a much warmer area, but I found out that it's a really tough plant. I even have occasional self-seeding. I was getting to like those temps in the 80's, but now I'm afraid that they're pretty much gone for the year. Yesterday the high here was 58 degrees, and today it's 60. I'll look forward to some more days in the 70's here before it turns cold until next year. I'm not much of a winter person and always look forward to when the butterflies show up again. I love to watch them and of course raise them. Best of luck with your various species of milkweed. |

5 tips for ignoring haters explained with GIFs
When haters, trolls, and Negative Nancies try to poo-poo your ideas, it's best sometimes to just put up the blinders.
One of my all-time favorite inspirations for not giving a crap what people think about you (besides my dad) is Julien Smith's The Complete Guide to Not Giving a F**k. After establishing that judgement is just a part of life and not everyone has to like you, Smith poses the following suggestions to help you "get back your self-respect in five easy steps."
Here they are, illustrated with GIFs for maximum impact.
1. Do things that you consider embarrassing.
[via tumblr]
2. Accept, or deal with, awkwardness.
[via tumblr]
3. Refuse boundaries
[via google images]
4. Tell the truth
[via tumblr]
5. Begin your new life
[via tumblr]
And there you have it. Remember, no one ever changed the world by trying to fit in.
What real-life do-gooders inspire you not to give a crap about what people think about you?

KENNEDY CENTER/VSA ARTS CONNECT ALL and ARTS ACCESS FOR KIDS For the past two seasons, the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall has participated in the Kennedy Center's partnership program with VSA, Very Special Arts, an international organization devoted to providing arts opportunities for people with disabilities. This program has enabled the Van Wezel to broaden utilization of its existing accessibility facilities for patrons with physical challenges and to provide opportunities for students at Oak Park School, Sarasota's magnet school for students with disabilities, ages 3-22, to participate in the Schooltime student matinee performances free of charge. Also included in the program are resident Teacher Artists recruited by the Van Wezel to provide arts education and projects for students at Oak Park School. Several hundred students have been served over the past two seasons, and both students and teachers have expressed their appreciation for these opportunities. In 2013-2014 the Van Wezel is thrilled to provide two distinct opportunities for Oak Park students.
Through Arts Access for Kids, Oak Park students will attend at least one Van Wezel Schooltime Performance and complete preshow activities with teachers, Van Wezel teaching artists and/or staff.
Through Arts Connect All 60 Oak Park students will participate in an in-depth theatre arts resdiency where they will learn essetnials of theatre and storytelling.
These programs are provided under a contract with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
DURING THE 2014-2015 SEASON THE VAN WEZEL WILL CONTINUE ITS PARTENRSHIP BETWEEN OAK PARK SCHOOL AND LAKEVIEW ELEMENTARY! Through the program, students students with disabilites will have the opportunity to interact with their peers from a neighboring elmentary school. The two schools will again attend a shared Schooltime Performance, and participate in a shared arts based activity to foster dialogue, creativity, and an understanding of their peers.
TOTAL ACCESS TO THE ARTS Total Access is a program designed to provide local families with young children the opportunity to experience several live performances at the Van Wezel over the course of the season free of charge. Families facing financial challenges are recruited by our community partners, e.g., Boys & Girls Clubs and Laurel Civic Association, based on questionnaires completed by parents and children expressing their desire to make a commitment to participate in the program for one year. Families select their shows at the beginning of the season, much like the Van Wezel's many dedicated subscribers, and pick their tickets up on the night of the show. Total Access also includes pre-show dinners for families provided by Mattison's Bayside at the Van Wezel, which make each of the performance evenings a memorable family event. The Van Wezel is particularly interested in families with children who are interested in pursuing the arts, in order to provide encouragement for them to follow their dreams. After each show, families are required to complete and return a family survey to help us measure the impact of the program. Comments from parents have been extremely positive and heartwarming, and the Van Wezel is very grateful to our partners and supporters that so many children have been able to participate. Total Access to the Arts has been generously supported by the Cordelia Lee Beattie Foundation since 2010.
Military Access is a new program building on the success of the Van Wezel's Total and Senior Access programs. Military Access honors current and past members of our military and provides opportunities for a therapeutic and engaging experience.
Military Access shows appreciation and enhances well-being by giving Veterans, Active Military, their families the experience of attending a professional live performance at no cost to them.
The Van Wezel partners with organizations serving these individuals to identify and register participants.
Benefits of the program include:
1. Recognizing and honoring the sacrifices made by veterans and families of active military and honoring them through a special opportunity; 2. Creating special family memories of experiencing the arts, which allow for increased family communication and well-being; 3. Increasing the sense of pride and improving quality of life of veterans; 4. Providing one-in-a-lifetime experiences for families of deployed soldiers and Veterans; 5. Strengthening community ties and awareness; 6. Establishing a love of the arts within NEW audiences
For more information about Military Access contact Kelli Bragdon, Director of Education & Community Engagement at 941.955.7676 ext. 2246 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Click Here to Donate through our Masters of Illusion special event page. 200 Veterans and their families will be present at this event which is sponsored by Legacy of Valor.

The Kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart
Stockholm Syndrome
At this point Brian David Mitchell, a.k.a. Emmanuel, was not high on the list of possible suspects, and if the police had tried to locate him, it would have been extremely difficult to find him because he was living in the wilderness of Dry Creek Canyon outside of Salt Lake City with his wife, Wanda Barzee, and the person he intended to take as his second wife, Elizabeth Smart.
On the night of the kidnapping, Mitchell had forced Elizabeth to hike four miles up into the canyon where he had previously constructed a concealed shelter for his new bride. He had dug a 20-foot long trough and built a lean-to over it. Soon after their arrival at the campsite, he insisted that she take off her red pajamas so he could burn them. She was given white robes to wear, just like her captors. He tied a cable around her leg and tethered her to a tree so she wouldn't run off.
Mitchell, a self-anointed priest, planned to perform the marriage ceremony that would join him to Elizabeth. Barzee, his loyal follower, supported his desire to take Elizabeth as a wife. Though the LDS church had officially banned polygamy in 1890, Mitchell firmly believed that multiple marriage was God's will and that the church had been wrong to abandon the practice.
Mitchell and Barzee kept Elizabeth imprisoned at their makeshift compound in the canyon from June 5 until August 8 when Salt Lake City residents started seeing the familiar robed couple, who they sometimes referred to as "Joseph and Mary," with a similarly dressed young girl. Barzee and Elizabeth wore veils that covered the lower halves of their faces. The couple took Elizabeth to some of their old haunts, including fast-food restaurants that had inexpensive all-you-can-eat buffets. They typically ate voraciously, mostly salad. An employee at one restaurant later reported that he has seen Elizabeth leave the table by herself to refill her plate at the buffet and returned to finish her meal. Whether she feared for her life or had succumbed to what her father would later call "brainwashing," Elizabeth showed no outward signs that she was being held against her will.
The people who saw the unusual trio considered them eccentric but harmless characters. They were often spotted around town. Hikers and bicyclists ran into them in the canyon. No one ever considered the possibility that this girl in the dirty white robes could be the kidnapped teenager whose photograph was on posters all over the state. And they never considered the possibility that she was with this unconventional couple because she was suffered from Stockholm Syndrome, the psychological condition in which a victim comes to identify and sympathize with her oppressors, just as heiress Patty Hearst had when she was held captive in 1974.

If any errors are found please let us know, and we will get things changed right away.
Good luck in your grave hunting, and let us know if we can be of any help.

Hi Allen ~ I just noticed that you left a note for Delbert Leise and mentioned that your grandmother was a Leise. My grandmother was a Leise too! Is there any way we might have a common Leise ancestor? My grandma was Del's Aunt, a sister to Wilbert Leise. I'm just curious.

I'm not a sadist by any means, but I will take any chance I can get to make my sweet Mr Picky drink coffee. For years now, he has claimed to hate the stuff. I maintain that coffee simmered gently with milk and spices is not the same as the sludge served at the local gas station.

Recipe: Rosewater Lemonade
For some, the season of flip flops is over, now replaced by the steady clickety-clack of school shoes on polished linoleum. For others, school is nothing more than a faint memory, farther yet than the setting sun's shimmering rays upon which our dreams cling. Either way, Rosewater Lemonade will put a smile where you need it most. For the back-to-schoolers, this drink represents everything easy-breezy; a way to go global, even in the midst of lost backpacks, homework, and forgotten lunches. … [Read more...]
Recipe: Nigerian Chapman Cocktail
There are four things I love to do in the summer. 1. Flit around pools, lakes, and oceans until my fingers wrinkle and warp. 2. Make mud pies and bake them in the Oklahoma sun. 3. Kiss my husband at the drive-in movie theater. 4. Dance like no one is watching. When that's all done, I like a good, sweet sipper and a shady spot to drink it down. Thankfully, I just learned about Chapman - a bright, bubbly festival for your mouth. This is a Nigerian drink made for parties - supposedly … [Read more...]
Recipe: North African Sage n' Green Tea
There are a few ways to keep cool in hot weather. In the west, we wear shorts, drink cold drinks, and blast the A/C. In Niger, they use a completely different set of tricks. The polar opposite, in fact. For starers, they cover up. Believe it or not, wearing long layers made of lightweight cotton keeps the sun's hot rays off your skin. The flowing movement of the fabric acts like natural air conditioning. The elephants accomplish the same thing by dusting themselves with dirt. Not quite … [Read more...]
Recipe: Pineapple Horchata
This summer I've seen almost everything. Laughter in sad moments. Tears in happy moments. Life is a bumble-all-over-the place, as it should be when temperatures screech up into the 100's. What I haven't seen? Purple-feathered dancing ladies. This Pineapple Horchata is certainly the closest I'll get to this sort of carnival fun. And every summer should have a little carnival fun, don't you think? The recipe is a cooked horchata (homemade rice drink), different from the amazing no-cook … [Read more...]
Recipe: Nauru's "Recycled" Iced Coffee (with poll)

Recipe: Swahili Ginger n' Milk Tea
Whether the sun is blistering or the snow is falling, Mozambique has the answer for you. Ginger - crazy ginger tea. The beauty of this drink is in the simplicity. There's no long list of spices, as with Indian Chai (although, goodness do I love and adore a good cup of Chai). It's purer than that. Every mug gently cradles steeped black tea and fresh grated ginger, topped off with creamy milk and sweet spoonfuls of sugar. It's a little bit spicy and a whole lot of comfort. Served cold, this … [Read more...]
Recipe: Mongolian Millet & Green Milk Tea (Suutei Tsai)
If tea time in your home means sweet, sugary cups of deliciousness, think again. This week we're sipping on salty, milky green tea cooked with buttery toasted millet. This is one of the more elaborate versions of Suutei Tsai - a famous Mongolian drink enjoyed out on the cold steppes. Each sip tastes of milk and salt and cereal - but the drink also has a remarkable drying effect in the mouth, thanks to a healthy dose of naturally astringent green tea. This is absolutely the strangest tea I … [Read more...]

Haha not not time to start gardening except for a few cold weather things. My garden still needs a lot of clean up too..........but.........I bought `12 cabbage plants and 4 bundles of onions and planted them yesterday. I have them covered at the moment.......not because of the cold but because the rabbits will get them when they are really young so I cover them. I still have two bundles of onions to put in the ground.......
Well it's a start...We'll have another freeze or two but shouldn't be anything to serious but you never know. Mother Nature doesn't like us to start gardening till about mid April and I know that because I have put too many tomato plants in the ground in March only to have her smack me good.........so time to get out and start the clean up.. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think we're all getting anxious for Spring - It was 25F here when I got up this morning and none of yesterdays snow has begun to melt....not typical weather for last week of Feb, and not welcome either :) Isn't it funny how our Z8's are different - tomatoes here need some protection until about May 1, Mother's Day to be safest. I've only seen one wild rabbit here in all the years I've gardened. It seemed to prefer lawn clover and really caused very minimal damage to anything else - a little foliage from nasturtiums, some lower raspberry leaves, nothing too important. Now the raccoons are another story! |
I have a bunch of tomatoes and keep having to delay planting them because we're having unusually late freezes here in AZ. I hope we don't go straight from winter to 115 degrees or I'll have no garden at all. Predicting freeze, rain and possible snow just slightly higher than us ( to 2,000 feet and we're 1,800) so we may even see some flurries this weekend. I usually plant my warm weather stuff on Feb 15. I put my cuke seeds in the ground last weekend but held-off on planting my tomato plants, just had a feeling. Glad I have a bunch of back-up babies, too! Wondering, I have a bunch of turnips and cabbage that have been in the fridge for too long. Do you think I can still make kraut out of them? They still look ok, despite two months in the back of the fridge. |

Rabbits can be repelled with blood meal sprinkled liberally around seedlings once a week or immediately after a rain. Raccoons... I'll bet nobody here has a problem like I do or has trapped and relocated as many. Ditto possums. |
- Posted by ruthieg__tx z8 TX (My Page) on Fri, Feb 25, 11 at 17:40
I bought some more onions today so OK smack me because it's too early.....but I bought 6 tomato plants....they will have to go into pots on the porch so I can move them in and out on freeze nights.......Here is the benefit........I will put them in gallon pots and when it's time to go in the ground.........I'll have at least 6 plants that are way ahead of the others.... |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Cindy!
Facts about Cindy
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Cindy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
Cindy #353 is a five year old short haired black and tan, (approximately 4 lb) Chihuahua who loves to sit with her people. She recently came from a shelter in California and is spayed and current on all of the vaccines. She is afraid of unfamiliar places and people and does not like to be alone. She is sensitive to noises and fast movements. She has a shy temperment. She will sleep in a crate but loves to cuddle in bed. She is becoming more trusting everyday. She loves to sit on your lap and cuddle. She goes potty outside but you have to remember to take her, she does not ask to go out. She is currently being fostered in Roy, in a home with four other dogs and no cats. She does not play with the other dogs nor does she argue with them, she is happy to share a bed with them with no issues. She is a swwet, quiet little girl. She is easy to fall in love with. She would be a wonderful companion for anyone that would like a lap dog. Not sure about kids, I don't think she would like small children because she seems to like a quiet environment. You can contact her foster mom Linda in Roy, WA at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com for more information. Her adoption fee is $250.
We do not do same day adoptions unless you are pre-approved. Adoption application with references checked & a home visit are required. We do many special events during the year, so check our calendar on our website: www.chihuahuarescueandreferrals.com
Other Pets at Chihuahua Rescue and Referral
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Cindy, a Seattle Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Seattle, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Seattle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seattle already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Seattle breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seattle paves the way for another one to be saved.

The T13 antipersonnel mine is a trap found in Fallout Tactics.
It is designed to maim and kill personnel. Similar to JHP rounds, it does extra damage, at the cost of decreased armor penetration. This makes it most effective against unarmored targets.

The blueish coloration on the petioles of this B.E. are breathtaking even at this small size... hope you can see it. Some other blue stuff... Really love these E.Glaucum Check out the A/Konjac next to this car for scale. I think the foliage must be over 5' across by now. My red trunked Castor palm... oops,I did trim some of the palms... As this Sequoia is now towering over me,I can't help but think it really is on its own now. Thanks for looking- |

Awesome pics! I love the Butia, it has great color on it already. I think your palms look really nice trimmed. I felt guilty today when I trimmed some healthy leaves off my elephant ears, but I think it looks a lot better when it isn't crowding itself and all the other plants around it. The sequoia is definitely on its own now. Hopefully it will have some nice winters so it really gets to a huge size! -Alex |

text: Handling Earthly Treasure: Biblical Certainties about MoneyIn Handling Earthly Treasure, Alan Patterson presents a biblical view of finances. The familiar warning "The love of money is the root of all evil" is often repeated as Scripture's definitive word about finances; but God has much more to say about money—its purpose, its pitfalls, and its proper use. Patterson shares biblical truth on issues such as giving, owning property, borrowing and lending, financial planning, profiting from a business, and responding to poverty. In a world consumed with personal gain and faced with significant economic challenges, this book serves as a timeless resource for believers—a Bible-based guide to making wise decisions about money. Part of the Biblical Discernment for Difficult Issues series.

I did a search for signs, saw nothing.
I realize a sign is not going to slow down any BGs but I thought you might know the answer anyway.
I am looking for some strongly worded signs to keep out the casual property line violators. I have a short dirt road that tourists and kids seem to find appealing and think that a sign with clout would trim back the transgressions.
The usual No Trespassing signs don't carry the force I want. I was hoping for something like "If You Proceed Beyond This Sign, Expect to be ______". I haven't decided upon the verb...maybe 'arrested', or 'threatened with bodily harm' if that is deemed free of liability.
I am trying to get the attention of religious groups, peddlers, the above mentioned curious people, census takers! and I think with the right verbage I will.
Where to buy? What else should they say? I like that one with a picture of a gun! Also the guard dog pic.

Facts about Spunky

- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Spunky's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Spunky is a cute little guy who weighs about 9 pounds. His body shape and curly tail suggext to us that he is a chihuahua mix. Based on prior experience with poms and chi/poms, we think he has some pomerian mixed in, it would explain the curl in his tail, the thickness of his hair and the shape of his chest. He is an active little boy but he also loves to cuddle. He is good with other dogs but large ones make him nervous.

The work incorporates photographs transferred onto 8 foot canvases and then modified using sketching and painting techniques. Finally, the mixed media collages are completed by casting the pictures in a thick, clear resin.

In response to the New England Patriots playing their week 2 home game at 4:15pm, rather than the traditional 1:15pm east coast NFL start time, Tom Brady, in an interview on WCVB TV 5 in Boston, Tom Brady tells fans, "Start drinking early. Get nice and rowdy. It's a 4:15 game. There is lots of time to get lubed up."
Sounds like good advice to me… Don't bitch about the game starting later… You have more time to drink!
Whoops… The New England Patriots apparently do not agree with Brady's recommendations.
Patriots media relations director Stacey James latter tells fans Brady was not suggesting that fans get drunk, rather Tom meant for fans to "stay hydrated, drink a lot of water, be loud, drink responsibly."

Our New Kitchen
posted by: kaljr82 on 01.14.2013 at 03:11 pm in Kitchens Forum So I have been stalking these forums for some time and finally decided to make some posts today.
My wife and I are currently in the process of building a new home (we are on like day 70) and are very deep into the desing phase. We are currently about a week and a half from placing our order for kitchen cabinets. I will link you to our kitchen inspiration pages that has complete 3D Drawings of the kitchen as well as some of the finishes we are looking at. We are looking for feedback!! We want to make sure this kitchen is perfect so critique away!! Here is a link to our inspiration page: http://lot23blog.blogspot.com/2012/12/kitchen-inspiration.html Note that we just e-mailed our cabinet rep. this weekend to make a couple minor changes from the drawing. The cabinets directly under the cook top will just be 3 large drawers instead of what is pictured. Also, the bottom cabinets between the cook top and wall oven will be different. Instead of 2 large doors, there will be the standard 2 drawers and 2 doors. Also, the above post does not have our granite so please see the granite here: thoughts, critiques, suggestions? Sorry about the mess of links, just though this would be easier than trying to re post every picture. NOTES: <none>

13th November 2012 - 19:02Dear Jerry,
Why do you think Ben Morgan has gone from starting for England (where he hasn't had a bad game) to not even being selected in the match-day squad, despite being the best number 8 in the country? Waldrom had an awful game last week yet is starting again against Australia. -
Comment number 119.
Tim Hector
13th November 2012 - 15:36Dear Jerry, Please can you explain why home teams such as Scotland have to play in what I assume is their new away strip when New Zealand the away team are allowed to retain their home strip despite the venue for the match?
Comment number 118.
13th November 2012 - 15:36Dear Jerry, can Samoa do the improbable and beat Wales this weekend?
Comment number 117.
13th November 2012 - 15:03Dear Jerry Sharples had a good game was but flattered by Fijian defence. Monye was average. You have praised Wade, but ignored a question about Varndell who is THE inform premiership winger. Surely he deserves a chance.
Comment number 116.
13th November 2012 - 14:49Do you think the criticism leveled at Rob Howley is a tad Harsh? After all, he wasn't actually on the pitch!

I have a beautiful mirror that is made for a bathroom but the frame is not the colour I wish. It is either made of plastic or heavy vinyl. This mirror is made for bathrooms. I do not wish to spray paint it and have a flat surface. It has a rippled effect on this border. Can I use plastic paint with a rag and gently put some on and wipe it off? Has anyone done this before?
Thank you. |

By David Morris, University Of Memphis Entrepreneurial Journalism Student
CEO Jacob Sniff is headstrong and passionate about his first entrepreneurial project, PhotoRankr.
PhotoRankr a platform that covers all the needs of today's photographers and some needs they may not even be aware of yet. The PhotoRankr platform is web-based and lets photographers handle several key tasks, including the sale of their work, social interaction with fellow members , and an internal job market for clients to list jobs for photographer members.
What makes PhotoRankr different from stock photo sites such as istockphoto.com and shutterstock.com is the photographer keeps 70 percent of their photo sales, and "photo ranker battles," said Sniff. These battles let photos be placed side by side so site members can easily compare them and select which photo is better. The site generates battles automatically while also allowing users to create their own battles. This information gathered from these battles is of great value to photographers in order to gauge the quality of their work against peers.
"Social media is our current marketing channel," said Sniff. Current integration with large social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+ set the stage for information exchange for PhotoRankr and its photographers. Photographers can seamlessly share their photos to any one of these social media sites.
Currently, PhotoRankr is free for anyone who signs up. At the beginning of March this year, PhotoRankr will roll out an annual, three-tier subscription model. "The base plan will remain free," said Sniff.

After I dump my bag at Polly's and go for a swim, the two of us head into Ocean Beach for dinner. On midsummer nights the crowds can be overwhelming, but the rest of the time, Ocean Beach is a sturdy little village, American flag flying on the green. At Matthew's Seafood House (near the entrance to Ocean Beach; 631/583-8016; dinner for two $80) Polly and I laze on the dock overlooking the bay. The tables are covered with flowered oilcloth, Frank Sinatra is playing on the sound system, the steamers are succulent, and the fish is fresh. You can have it cooked any way, deep-fried, sautéed, broiled, or Mediterranean-style, with olives and tomatoes. It's the best place in town for lunch or dinner—you can also dock your boat here. Maguire Bayfront Restaurant (631/583-8800; dinner for two $80), the old standby at the other end of the village, also has a dock. As kids, we were taken there by our parents for lobster; as grown-ups we still come to eat—and reminisce.
For a casual visitor who wants to spend a day on Fire Island, Ocean Beach is a good place to begin; another is the Pines. On my second day I take a water taxi to the Pines, six miles from Ocean Beach. With its roller-coaster walkways, dense woods, tunnels of greenery, and a harbor that could be in the south of France, it's the prettiest village of all. I stop at Marco (36 Fire Island Blvd., Fire Island Pines; 631/597-8888; dinner for two $80), an Italian restaurant near the harbor, for fresh mozzarella-and-tomato salad and snippets of conversation.
That night, back in Seaview, I sit on Polly's deck, listening to the crackle of driftwood under the feet of the deer in the backyard and the tinkle of ice from the house next door. Later, a glass of wine in hand, I walk to the dunes and sit on the wooden steps that lead down to the beach. The moon is up. There's no sound at all—no cars, no voices—except for the surf hitting the sand, and Fire Island seems, to me, dreamlike and wrapped in blissful memory.
THE FACTS GETTING THERE Take the Long Island Rail Road (www.mta.nyc.ny.us/lirr) from New York City's Penn Station or drive to the ferry station in Bay Shore (for Ocean Beach, Seaview, and Ocean Bay Park) or Sayville (Fire Island Pines, Cherry Grove). Water taxis run regularly from Ocean Beach (near the ferry dock) to various towns, including the Pines, and cost about $12 round-trip. You can also call South Bay Water Taxis (631/665-8885). WHERE TO STAY For rental listings, go to www.fireisland.com. Hotels can be underwhelming (shared baths; no air-conditioning). Recommended: Houser's Hotel (Ocean Beach; 631/583-8900; doubles from $100 weekdays) and the Botel (Fire Island Pines; 631/597-6500; doubles from $90 weekdays).
31 In a natural harbor between Lakes Charlevoix and Michigan, Charlevoix is a surf-and-turf playground for monied Midwesterners. Victorian houses, old-fashioned ice cream parlors, and antiques shops dot the downtown district, which offers concerts, art fairs, and fireworks throughout the summer (peak week: the Venetian Festival, July 20-26). Modern resort living is accented by days spent fishing, sailing, and hitting the links—golf enthusiasts swear by the Belvedere (5731 Marion Center Rd.; 231/547-2611). GETTING THERE Charlevoix is an hour's drive northeast on U.S. 31 from Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City. The trip from Detroit on I-75 takes four hours; the drive from Chicago on I-196 takes 5 1/2. WHERE TO STAY The Edgewater Inn (100 Michigan Ave.; 800/748-0424; www.edgewater-charlevoix.com; doubles from $275) has fantastic views of the harbor. WHERE TO EAT Stafford's Weathervane (106 Pine River Lane; 231/547-4311; dinner for two $66), set in an 1800's flour mill, serves up the town's specialty—whitefish broiled on a seasoned oak plank. DON'T MISS Architect Earl Young's unique, mushroom-like stone buildings, all over town.
—David A. Keeps
32 Worlds away from Waikiki, Haleiwa is a laid-back town on Oahu's bucolic North Shore. Snorkelers and sun-seekers gravitate toward Waimea Bay, where cliff divers hurl themselves into the turquoise waters; neophyte surfers learn to "hang ten" on Alii Beach's placid waves. Board rentals and lessons can be arranged at Surf & Sea (62-595 Kamehameha Hwy.; 808/637-9887). GETTING THERE Haleiwa is 28 miles north of Honolulu International Airport. WHERE TO STAY The surfside Sunset Homes (66-030 Kamehameha Hwy.; 808/637-2400; www.sunsethomes.net) rents beach cottages and airy three- and four-bedroom houses. The renovated cottages at Turtle Bay Resort (57-091 Kamehameha Hwy.; 800/203-3650; www.turtlebayresort.com; doubles from $525) have private lanais overlooking the sea, as well as personal butlers. WHERE TO EAT Hit Matsumoto's (66-087 Kamehameha Hwy.; 808/637-4827) for the quintessential Hawaiian treat: shaved ice in tropical flavors. Haleiwa Joes (66-011 Kamehameha Hwy.; 808/637-8005; dinner for two $50) is the place for seared ahi tuna. DON'T MISS The kite surfers at Mokuleia Beach Park, where adrenaline junkies perform aerial acrobatics.

Sullivan's Island
34 Any given afternoon, you can hear a screen door creak from 10 blocks away on Sullivan's Island, a three-mile-long spit of land off Charleston. Palmetto trees shade whitewashed houses built as officers' homes in the 1800's. There isn't much to do besides sip iced tea on high-front porches or relax on the fine blond sand with Travel Scrabble, but that hasn't deterred the generations of Southerners who return year after year. GETTING THERE Sullivan's Island is a 20-minute drive from Charleston International Airport. WHERE TO STAY There are no hotels, but a four-bedroom oceanfront house rents for about $3,500 per week in high season (off the beach, prices drop to about $2,200). Contact Great Beach Vacations (800/344-5105; www.greatbeach.com) or Island Realty (866/843-7909; www.islandrealty.com). WHERE TO EAT Casual restaurants line Middle Street, two blocks from the sea. Order the cornbread-fried oysters at Station 22 (2205 Middle St.; 843/883-3355; dinner for two $60). DON'T MISS Fort Moultrie (1214 Middle St.; 843/883-3123), dating from the Revolutionary War and now an outdoor museum.
