Police fear for tramper after pack found
Relevant offers
Search teams spent today scouring Nelson Lakes National Park for a German tourist who may have been missing for up to a week but found no sign of him.
Three ground teams, including a search and rescue dog, are searching in the Travers Saddle area for signs of Christian Ulf Erik Prehn, 19.
A helicopter was also involved in the search.
On Friday, Department of Conservation staff alerted police after they were informed a tramper's pack had been left beside the track on the Travers Saddle.
The pack was located yesterday, and inquires with other trampers in the area suggest it may have been there for up to a week.
Police today confirmed the abandoned pack belonged to Prehn.
Senior constable Dave Colville, of Nelson Bays Search and Rescue, said police had identified a tramper who shared a hut with Prehn and would be speaking with him today to try to establish what the missing man's intentions were. They would also like to speak with a German woman called Angela Bähr who is believed to have spoken witht the missing man at a hut.
The weather in the area today was good, although heavy rain is expected tonight. Snow fell in the area on Friday.
Police would like to hear from anyone who has been in contact with Prehn or anyone tramping in the Travers Saddle area in the last week.
Prehn arrived in New Zealand in October last year on a one year tourist visa.
Police have been in contact with his parents in Germany.
Anyone with information that may assist this search should call Nelson police on (03) 546 3840. Weather permitting, the search will continue tomorrow.

This service was great and worked wonderfully for my family's Disney vacation!
Very pleased with GardenGrocer.com! The entire process was easy!
The service couldn't have been better! It made our Disney World vacation, with a toddler and an infant, so convenient. I ordered everything about a week before we left. I received confirmation emails and phone calls throughout the process. My items were waiting at the Bell Service desk at our resort when we arrived. No complaints and nothing but praises!

*Although it could be argued that they don't shed any new light on the how and why of what happened, but audio tapes of eye witnesses to the "Miami Zombie/Cannibal" incident, in which Rudy Eugene ate off the face of Ronald Poppo, have been released.
But at the very least, they make for interesting listening especially one man whose call came off as rather laid back and nonchalant.
The woman's voice is agitated and urgent. She believes she's just seen someone about to die.
"It's a naked man beating another man, beating him, on the MacArthur Causeway, like toward the Miami Herald. … He's gonna kill that man, I promise you, okay?"
The woman is a Miami-Dade bus driver, one of three people who called police on May 26.
What two of them saw was Rudy Eugene, 31, savaging Ronald Poppo, 65. By the time police arrived, Eugene had chewed off Poppo's face.
The Miami Police Department released the 911 tapes of the three calls on Friday, but it's unclear in what order or at what time they were received.
In addition to the bus driver, another man called to report what they thought was a fight.
In the third call, a man sounds nonchalant.
"Hi, how ya doing? I'm just reporting a naked man in front of the Miami Herald building on the highway."

Aurora Health Care has received a $24,000 grant from the Cardinal Health Foundation to determine whether targeted or universal screening of hospital patients is cost-effective when it comes to MRSA, or antibiotic-resistant staph infections. The study begins July 1 and runs through June 30, 2010.
"There has been international debate on how best to identify patients with MRSA when they are admitted to the hospital," said Kathy Leonhardt, M.D., M.P.H., principal investigator on the study. "It's vital because of course we want to keep the infection from spreading. There are two common approaches: targeted screening or universal screening. In targeted screening, only people with certain criteria are tested. Universal screening means everyone is tested."
While there have been clinical studies as to which screening method is best, there has been no consensus reached, said Leonhardt, who also is Aurora's patient safety officer and medical director of care management. In addition, she said, there have been few studies that looked at cost effectiveness.
"That's why we were interested in applying for this grant," Leonhardt said. "This project demonstrates our commitment not only to quality and safety but to cost effectiveness."
The three key Aurora participants in the study are Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center, Aurora BayCare Medical Center and ACL Lab. In addition, there will be close collaboration with Marquette University with economist Olga Yakusheva, Ph.D., as the co-principal investigator on the study.
"Aurora recognizes the importance of collaborative as well as the transdisciplinary work in examining health issues, especially one as vital as MRSA," Leonhardt said. "We know that it will take a lot of time and effort on the part of Sheboygan, BayCare, ACL Lab and Marquette to pull this project together, and we are very appreciative of their willingess to take on that work."
The grant is part of $1 million in funding from Cardinal Health Foundation for new and innovative programs to improve patient safety at 35 hospitals, health systems and community health clinics across the country.
Grants of up to $35,000 per facility will provide funding for programs that implement creative and replicable methods to improve the quality of patient care. Examples of other initiatives that received funding include strategies to improve physician hand hygiene, electronic medical record implementation, and medication safety and reconciliation projects.
"Medication safety and health care associated infections are two of the largest patient safety issues that health care organizations face every day, and the human toll and financial burden is escalating," said Shelley Bird, chair of the Cardinal Health Foundation. "The Cardinal Health Foundation is committed to improving the overall effectiveness of health care, and we're proud to support these institutions that are enhancing patient safety and the quality of care."
Aurora Health Care is a not-for-profit Wisconsin health care provider and a national leader in efforts to improve the quality of health care. Aurora offers care at sites in more than 90 communities throughout eastern Wisconsin.

Bizarre. Any other term would be grossly misleading. A rock opera about a famous composer's last night on earth could hardly be anything else, however. The story is a somewhat distorted version of Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, borrowing characters and temptations without apologies. Beethoven apparently spends his last night on earth as the "unwitting battleground between good and evil." The battle involves Mephistophilis bargaining for Beethoven's 10th Symphony, using his soul as leverage. Other prominent characters include Fate and her dwarf child Twist.
While an interesting concept, the execution is frequently lacking. The music can be exquisite variations of Beethoven's music, but is often interrupted by a pounding drum and the occasional power guitar riff. The producer seemed to think that this adds some sort of emphasis to the sung aspects, when in reality, it tends to distract from the purpose of the album, obscuring the (theoretically central) piano movements. O'Neill's background as a performer/producer is extremely evident—overall, it sounds like Savatage on sedatives. Beethoven has been modernized before, most notably for Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, and was an interesting curiosity. Speeding it up, adding guitars and some synth doesn't really do much for old Beethoven. I'd go so far as to say such a distortion is most likely the cause of some fairly spectacular grave spinning.
Trans-siberian Orchestra
Beethoven's Last Night
The album might be salvageable if the lyrics were slightly less melodramatic. Dr. Faustus is a dramatic work, but I never find myself groaning at certain places, as I did with this TSO album. I don't know whether it's the introduction of Beethoven or the rock opera format that adds the melo-, but whichever, it certainly heaps it on. There are some good bits, but unfortunately not nearly enough to make up for the rest of the album. Technically, the album is excellently executed. The vocals in particular are in places spectacular, and seem out of place beside the guitar stylings.
While conceptually interesting as a blend of several historicly important concepts, I can't actually recommend this album to anyone not interested in Savatage and/or rock opera. More the former than the latter, unfortunately. You'd be better off buying a copy of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and listening to it while reading Marlowe's Dr. Faustus.

The Thugs of the Caribbean attraction during a moment of contemplation
"French men know no truths!" -- so say the cruelest thugs ever to plunder the Caribbean, and that's the slogan for Thugs of the Caribbean. Aboard your seat you'll see the representation of thugs who have met their maker, and watch as others fail to make friends in a disgruntled port. Scenes include:
The Thugs of the Caribbean theme song is often sung aloud. It begins:
Row row, row row, a thug's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we port and encamp,
Set up me hearties, row row.
We kidnap and ravage and short when we're damp,
Set up me hearties, row row.
Row row, row row, a thug's life for me.

Chelios, Niedermayer, and Shanahan headline 2013 Hall of Fame inductees
Jul 9, 2013, 3:31 PM EDT
Three former NHL stars — Chris Chelios, Scott Niedermayer, and Brendan Shanahan — and two others — retired female player Geraldine Heaney and late ex-coach Fred Shero are this year's inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The big announcement was made today in Toronto.
Chelios and Niedermayer, both defensemen, were eligible for the first time, while Shanahan, a forward, was voted in on his second year of admissibility after being passed over in 2012.
Not one of the above three can be considered a surprise.
As per usual, it's the omissions that will cause the most heated debate. Rob Blake, Paul Kariya, Rod Brind'Amour, Keith Tkachuk, Sergei Zubov, Phil Housley, Dave Andreychuk, Eric Lindros, Tom Barrasso, and many others remain on the outside looking in. As does former coach Pat Burns, who died of cancer in 2010.
The induction ceremony will take place in November.
From the release:
Chris Chelios, a native of Chicago, Illinois, after two successful seasons with the Wisconsin Badgers (1981-83), joined the Montreal Canadiens and was named to the NHL's All-Rookie team in 1984-85 and was also runner-up as Rookie of the Year to Mario Lemieux. He was part of the 1986 Canadiens' Stanley Cup winning team and won the James Norris Trophy as Defenceman of the Year in 1988-89. Traded to Chicago in 1990, Chris went on to play nine season with the Blackhawks and was a five time first or second team All-Star and two-time Norris winner. Chelios continued his career in 1999 with the Detroit Red Wings, winning Stanley Cups in 2002 and 2008. He finished his 26 year playing career at the age of 48 with the Atlanta Thrashers and Chicago Wolves in 2009-10.
Scott Niedermayer grew up in Cranbrook, British Columbia, and was a member of the Kamloops Blazers 1992 Memorial Cup championship team. Selected by the New Jersey Devils in the 1st round (3rd overall selection), he went on to play 13 seasons with the Devils from 1991 to 2004, winning Stanley Cups in the 1995, 2000 and 2003 seasons. In 2005, he signed as a free agent with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks where he was a two-time first team All-Star during his six seasons, as well as being a key part of their 2007 Stanley Cup winning team. He also won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP that season. On the international front, Scott also won gold at the World Junior Championship in 1991, gold at the World Championship in 2004, and gold at two Olympic Games in 2002 and 2010.
Brendan Shanahan was born in Etobicoke, Ontario and after two seasons with the London Knights (OHL) was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the 1st round (2nd overall) in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft. A member of the New Jersey Devils for four seasons, Brendan was signed as a free agent by the St. Louis Blues in 1991. He player four seasons with the Blues and had back to back 50 goal seasons in 1992-93 and 1993-94 – being named a 1st team NHL All-Star in 1993-94. Brendan went on to play two seasons in Hartford before being traded to the Detroit Red Wings in 1996, where he played nine seasons winning the Stanley Cup on three occasions (1997, 1998 and 2002). Signed as an unrestricted free agent by the New York Rangers, he played two more seasons before retiring in 2008. Representing Canada internationally on numerous occasions, he was a member of Canada's 2002 gold medal winning team.
Gerladine Heaney was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and grew up playing hockey in Toronto Aeros – an association she would remain with for 18 seasons. As a member of Canada's national team she won seven IIHF World Championship gold medals and was named the IIHF World Women's Championship's Best Defenceman in 1992 and 1994. A member of Canada's 2002 gold medal Olympic team, Heaney also won silver in 1998.
In the Builder Category, Fred Shero was elected. Shero began his coaching career in 1959-60 with the St. Paul Saints, and progressed up the ranks with a career culminating in nine seasons in the National Hockey League. His Philadelphia Flyers won Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975 and he also took the New York Rangers to the final in 1979, where he also had the role of General Manager. In 734 NHL regular season games coached, his teams had 390 wins, 225 losses and 119 ties. Shero passed away on November 24th, 1990.

Mike Modano facing a Brett Favre decision
Apr 19, 2010, 9:00 AM EDT
While he's certainly not the NFL superstar that Brett Favre was at
the time, Mike Modano could certainly start to draw some comparisons to
the this summer to the quarterback. Just a week after the NHL regular
season ended, Modano is already answering questions about his decision
on retirement and if anything, he's even more undecided that he was
while skating around Minnesota ice with a North Stars jersey on his
Talking to reporters on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway, Modano had this to say about his decision for this summer.
"It's really hard,
I'm really kind of on the fence right now," he said. "It's tough. And then you watch some of
the playoffs, watch some of those games and it's like those are
the things that you miss."
Not helping matters
is how the Dallas Stars finished their season, missing the playoffs for
the second straight year. For a player with as much pride as Modano,
this cannot sit well.
"That's the hard
part. You leave on a real bad taste in your mouth about how we
played," Modano said. "That too is a real motivating factor
because you hate to end on that type of note. You like to go in the
playoffs, make a good run and have some excitement. … But then you
have a type of run like that and you're like, 'Hey, let's do it
again next year.'"
So of course, the
comparisons to Brett Favre commence and what's amazing (although not
surprising) is how Modano certainly acknowledges how the situations are
very similar. "He
still feels he
can throw and obviously he can," Modano said. "So I can see why
we at this time get real wishy-washy about what we're going to
Modano has not had injury issues in the
later years of his career and while he's far from the offensive sniper
he had been in the 1990's, he's still a very capable two-way player with
above average speed and an incredibly accurate slapshot. So he likely
feels, and I agree, that he has something to add to an NHL team. The
Capitals thought so; they were willing to trade for him at the deadline.
Modano has a chance to go out relatively on top. The final two games of
the season were incredibly emotional for Modano and the Stars fans and
there is no way that another moment like what we witnessed two weeks ago
will ever be recreated. Modano can come back, but he runs the risk of
being forced into retirement due to injury or another disappointing
And the decision may not be entirely up to him. He's not
under contract for next year, and the the Stars have yet to decide on
whether to give a contract offer to Modano. The Stars are looking to go
younger and have a limited budget to do so. If the Stars decide to move
on without Modano, and with the franchise player aiming to become part
owner, I doubt he'll head to another team.

"Good but some parts waffle on for way too long"
I only like long books so this was a godsend. But....
The problem is the book goes on, and on, and on. Sometimes with 30 minute chapters with characters talking about nothing in particular. At one point one the character is cooking a snack. The process of cooking the meal is described in such excruciating detail that I thought I was listening to Delia Smith talking about cooking her favourite recipe.
I had no problem with the narrators, I thought they were pretty good. Allison reminded me a little of the voice of GladOS from the Portal game but it wasn't too off putting.
I can't really knock the story because it is engrossing, but it is 20 hours to long in my opinion.
"A very very very long listen!"
I read all of Murakami's stuff. The latest trend is to criticise him for being a bit predictable and always including cats etc. However, up until now I've loved every story and book I've read by him (and I've read nearly all of them.) This new Proustian epic is perhaps a sign that he is getting complacent.
Listening to it is a strange experience as it is so long, you get involved with the characters and start to see the world with their eyes. It sets up nicely... but towards the middle you start to wonder if it's going anywhere. Unfortunately Murakami's aim was to make it as long-winded as possible. It does have narrative hooks, but they sort of dwindle and peter out to make way for new ones without ever resolving anything. Things do get resolved in a way in the end... but by that time I was almost to the point of not caring what happened to the characters - I just wanted to be released from this mind-numbingly slow book.
I hope the next one is a book of short stories. That's what he does best.
"Which world are you?"
A female assassin is late for a job, so she gets out the taxi and heads down a shortcut that changes her life. A 17 year old dyslexic girl narrates a story to her friend to send into a competition and a money grabbing editor, asks his friend to polish it up, so it is guaranteed first prize.
On publishing the story, the lives of the girl, the writer and the assassin become interlinked as a mysterious sect aims to stop production runs for fear of their secret being exposed.
"It starts slow and then, miraculously, it gets..."
...even slower; by the end, and by that I mean all of the third volume, it is practically inert. At 300 pages, this novel might have been a rather wonderful and strange tale: at nearly 1,000, it is all that the more negative reviews on here describe. I bought it on an Audible sale (how good are they!) and I got through it by telling myself I would never have to read another Murikami novel again.
I have read others so would say to those who want to try him, go for the shorter works like Norwegian Woods or the short stories. Don't go to 1Q84. The very air seems to disappear as you read it.
The female reader is particularly annoying, flat and affected, which doesn't help.
That said, Murikami has great taste in music and literature. Now and then, one of his narrators references Janacek or Ellington or reads an extract from Chekhov or Isak Dinesen, and we glimpse a better world. Follow them there, dear listener.
Elegant, fascinating. I worried initially about the length, but it was well narrated and absorbing. I loved the fascinating details of Japanese culture and the daily life details such as the food being prepared. The phrases, how do you write your name, not spell your name. Its a great and strange tale. Strongly recommended.
"An interesting story"
I would have given this book more stars if it hadn't been so very, very long! Don't get me wrong. I love long books, but this was only long because of the continual repetitions. They become very irritating and I found myself actually telling the author, out loud, to get on with it and stop repeating everything. An abridged version, just cutting out the repeats would be loads better. At almost every conversation between the two main characters, every time one of them says something, the other one repeats it. It is SO annoying!
"Amazing Imagination"
this book had me hooked after about 20 minutes. its a love story between two people that spans two different parallell worlds. The narration is brilliant and each character is alive and you get to know them and there ways. An amazing book which i have to admit kept me away from the tv and up late until the end. I have added more books by the author for download when subs go out. cant wait tv boring anyway.
"Relaxing novel"
I initially thought this was a little slow at times, although I soon realised that the pace was actually a very relaxing read. The amount of detail, which initially seemed too much was actually waranted and allowed me to settle back and be taken on a journey while I listened. All in all, I found this both an interesting and leisurely read.
"An Amazing Masterpiece"
Murakami is one of the great writers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. His existential and mystic literary style enables a deep and penetrating insight into the nature of human beings and their relationship to their internal worlds and the worlds of some others about them. This is a love story which has a strong narrative drive and has the deepest insights concerning the compulsion of love. The descriptions of even the minor characters are finely drawn and as human as our closest friends. In this respect Murakami is as rich as Dickens in his characters but without the stage makeup.
Well read by a thoughtful and well chosen team and deserving all the time that you can spare to listen, reflect and listen again.
"good in parts"
the end: not worthy of the beginning or much of the middle. It just stops, but in a strange and up-beat way, leaving many story threads and characters hanging about. However from the start I knew it'd end with that device, so that annoyed me: I want the author to be better than that!
the plot: it's probable that the author knew about as we did about where this was going and how we'd get there. In our case it was a draw.
the feel: mesmeric; other-world; odd. Good.
overall: far, FAR too long, and repetative; I literally slept through several chapters, and actively skipped others, randomly (it makes no difference, if bored, go for it and then join back in); oddly but interestingtly translated and read, I liked the voices. I am giving 3 stars because the loss (rather than absence) of plot feels lazy - and maybe because I can't give myself fewer having stuck it out. I often longed for it to end - yet now it has, I kind of miss it.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Injury To Markov May Be Serious
by Paul on 10/02/09 at 12:54 PM ET
Comments (0)
via Kevin Mio of Habs Inside/Out,
According to RDS, the injury to Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov could be serious. The sports network reports via Twitter that Markov spent the night in a Toronto hospital.
Sportsnet is reporting that Markov may require surgery and could have suffered tendon damage, which would be horrible news for the Canadiens if it is true.
Markov was cut on the ankle by Carey Price's skate as the goaltender scrambled to get back into position seconds before the Maple Leafs scored their third goal of the game in the third period.
added 10:57am, via the Twitter of Dave Stubbs,
Various reports: Markov had surgery, is gone 2-3 months

UFC: Mark Munoz Has Huge Opportunity Against Lyoto Machida
Mark Munoz has battled through a lot in his career. He has had some tough fights in the UFC, such as with Matt Hamill and Chris Weidman, but he has always been able to come back stronger after a loss. Recently after his bout with Weidman, Munoz told sources that he fell into a deep depression.
He would even gain weight, which was predicated on his erratic eating cycles. However, he would rededicate himself to the sport, losing weight and looking to be in the best condition he has ever looked for his bout with Tim Boetsch. The results were so great that he was able to dominate Boetsch on the ground, proving he is one of the best fighters in terms of ground and pound.
Now Munoz is set to face Lyoto Machida, one of his friends and former training partners, in a bout that could very well determine who's next to challenge for the title. It's hard to fight friends, but Munoz sees this fight as an opportunity that very well could grant him a title shot if he can win in decisive fashion.
This will be Machida's first time at middleweight in the UFC, and he is looking to also get a title shot. This will be a fantastic match, one that Munoz certainly can win if he uses his wrestling and top control. It's amazing to see fighters go through ups and downs in their careers because it tests them not only as a fighter, but as a person as well. Munoz seems to be in the right place both mentally and physically, so it will be interesting to see what kind of success he can have against the always elusive Machida.

A milestone in the restoration of a historic steam engine is another step towards Passchendaele firing back to life in time to play its part in upcoming World War I commemorations.
The boiler of Ab608 Passchendaele was lifted back on to its wheels at Steam Incorporated workshops in Paekakariki yesterday as an extensive 20-year, $350,000 rebuild nears completion.
The handsome locomotive was built in 1915 at Addington Railway Workshops in Christchurch and was the only steam engine to be officially given a name by New Zealand Railways in the 20th century.
In 1925 railways minister Gordon Coates agreed to a proposal to name the locomotive "in memory of those members of the New Zealand Railways who fell in the Great War".
The train was retired in 1967, when its boiler required heavy repairs. It was subsequently given to the New Zealand Railways and Locomotive Society for preservation, arriving in Ferrymead, Christchurch, in 1978. In 1993 it was arranged for Steam Incorporated to take charge of its restoration.
Steam Incorporated president Peter Norman said getting the boiler back into its frame was a big step towards getting the locomotive going. "It is our passion. We will carry on reassembling the engine and hopefully have it running to coincide with World War I commemorations."
Steam Incorporated business manager John Bovis said they were discussing several ideas with the World War I committee, including using the steam engine in an exhibition train to stop at main centres around the country.
The Battle of Passchendaele in 1917 was a campaign by the British and their allies against the Germans near the Belgian city of Ypres. The darkest day in New Zealand's military history happened in the battle on October 12, when 846 soldiers were killed.

New York City FC already being drawn into Manchester City's Financial Fair Play drama
May 6, 2014, 11:12 PM EDT
The potential for creative accounting between Manchester City and the club's new teams in North America and Australia looked like an interesting Financial Fair Play (FFP) loophole, but with UEFA already looking at the relationship between the Citizens and its offshore subsidiaries with skepticism, that loophole may be smaller than originally thought. With New York City FC still 10 months from playing its first competitive game, the 2015 Major League Soccer expansion team is being drawn into its parent team's FFP drama, with UEFA apparently scoffing at intellectual property licensing agreements between the two clubs.
Word of the scrutiny comes from The Guardian, whose Tuesday reporting indicating Manchester City was ready to fight UEFA sanctions set to be imposed or overspending. City's case for compliance hinges in part on the legitimacy of some of its partner deals, three of which were identified as potentially specious:
Uefa's accountants are believed to have concluded that Manchester City's £350m 10-year deal with Abu Dhabi's national airline Etihad and a series of licensing deals have been significantly overvalued.
… Manchester City said it had sold players' image rights for £24.5m to a separate company and raised £22.45m from licensing intellectual property to "third parties" – widely believed to be new City franchises in New York and Melbourne.
The mere existence of a deal between Manchester City and its new clubs isn't the problem. UEFA, however, will flag any deal that appears to be out of line with a reasonable market expectation. If the deal doesn't pass their scrutiny, the income won't count toward Financial Fair Play.
The term "intellectual property" is so broad, it screams potential abuse. Manchester City can send a business operations manual back stateside with Jason Kreis, value it at whatever they want, and write it off. Ultimately, no money goes outside the team's bigger, multi-club umbrella, but in terms of the more limited UEFA portion of that picture, City can play its shell game and try to comply. Only now, it looks like UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) is going to take a long, hard look at the shells, making sure nothing slips from the table.
Regardless, any notion that City won't try to use its MLS and A-League franchises to help with FFP may soon be dispelled. Clubs are going to great lengths to find new ways to maximize their potential expenditures under the rules. For some that means new commercial efforts in North American and Asia. For others, that means placing, developing, and selling increasing numbers of players. For Manchester City, that means teams in North American and Australia – teams they can not only use to loan out contracts but also do more creative things, like sell intellectual property.

Recent Oak Bluffs reviews
"We are delighted that this cottage is so charming and its a surprise because the outside looks like an ordinary rectangle of a house but when you enter the house you are totally surprised by the interesting design. It is beautifully decorated and is so well equipped. It offers real comfort for 4-5 people who are looking for a wonderful relatively inexpensive vacation on Martha's Vineyard. Located on a cute street off Franklin Street in Vineyard Haven it is walk or bike to town, the library, shops, restaurants, Owen Park Beach. The house itself is wonderful offering a very efficient kitchen with a breakfast bar and lovely bath, the new carpeting in the bedrooms was comfy on the feet."Guest: Kristin Z.

"We had a wonderful week-long stay in this ample and yet cosy cottage in walking distance of Oak Bluffs' historical gingerbread houses and commercial district. Set in a small enclave of tree-lined and flowered non-paved streets, we felt transported to sweet, mellow by-gone days and yet were so close to all of Oak Bluffs zesty distractions. A plus when you are travelling with teens. The upper bedrooms are small but nicely appointed and comfy, the kitchen is ample and very well equipped. Great washer/dryer and outside shower but the main draw here are the outside spaces: the canopied terrace out back and, my favorite, the front porch. Mornings and cocktail hour were incredibly relaxing there... We were told by a nice neighbor that the owners upgrade the house every year and the results show. Bravo ! If I may venture a suggestion for future upgrades: it would be nice to make the interiors more allergy-free by removing carpets and feathered upholstery which do not fare well in a humid sea-side environment. This is not a critique, because the house is lovely. Just a thought... Thank you for sharing your historical cottage with the rest of us, city dwellers from the mainland !"Guest: Johanne Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 15, 2015View listing
"My family stayed at this wonderful beach loft for our family reunion. Although Kim did not greet us upon arrival, she was a wonderful owner and met our every need. The sound system wasn't compatible with our iPhones and she purchased a new Bose system for us the very next day! Anything we needed or requested she provided. The space was freshly cleaned and wonderfully decorated. It is perfect for a group of family or friends to spend time together yet have their own privacy in the bedrooms. There is also a great mini loft space above one of the bedrooms that is perfect for pre-teens to sleep and hang out. The photos do not do this place justice. It is very large and spacious. The home is fully stocked with EVERYTHING you need from linens, soap, laundry detergent, beach chairs & towels to propane for the amazing grill! It is a perfect home to host a small gathering while visiting as well because of the amazing yard space and deck. The location is walking distance to the main street in town, Circuit Ave and a quick dive to the beach. We would definitely recommend this property!"Guest: Dara Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 19, 2015View listing
"The most wonderful thing about this house is the rural feel, yet its in the middle of Vineyard Haven close to the Library, Main Street restaurants, entertainment and shopping. You couldn't have a better location. The house itself was interesting and clearly a labor of love by the architect. The kitchen was well designed and easy to cook in, there was a charcoal grill in the backyard along with tables and chairs. The house has three floors, the first has an open floor plan with LR, DR and Kitchen, The bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Each floor having a full bath. Our family was very comfortable here and amazed how cool the house was even without AC. The owner/architect told us that he keeps the house cool with the design which allows hot air to rise up and create cool breezes. We never needed to use the fans that were in each bedroom. The Weisman's were wonderful to deal with regarding our rental details. Our family plans to make our annual pilgrimage to the Vineyard to this house."Guest: dgtda g.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
16 Jun 2010 17:56 GMT
"Not everyone is on board with that though. One of the main security figures in Israel Yuval Diskin [the head of the Israeli security agency], yesterday said that he opposes the lifting of the blockade.
"But in essence, what the Israeli cabinet is considering is a shift in policy."
The proposal to ease the blockade was first announced earlier this week by Tony Blair, the envoy from the so-called international peace Quartet, comprised of the US, the UN, the European Union and Russia.
It would allow the UN to ship much-needed construction materials into Gaza for its own use.
Help Palestinians
"It will allow us to keep weapons and weapon materials out of Gaza, but on the other hand to help the Palestinian population there," Blair told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
"The policy in Gaza should be to isolate the extremists but to help the people."
Any new policy will reportedly only apply to the land border crossings between Israel and Gaza. The Israeli navy will maintain its blockade of Gaza.
The UN has called for Israel to go further and completely end the blockade.
"The flotilla crisis is the latest symptom of a failed policy," Robert Serry, the UN Middle East envoy, said in a briefing at the Security Council on Tuesday. "The closure and blockade of Gaza needs to come to an end."
The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Monday that the blockade is illegal, and called on the Israeli government to lift it.
Separately, the Israeli government has agreed to allow the UN to deliver thousands of tonnes of aid seized from a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last month.
Flotilla cargo
The UN will supervise delivery of the cargo, which includes construction supplies
Until Tuesday, Hamas had refused to accept the aid, citing Israel's limitations on how much of it would be allowed into Gaza.
But the UN said it will deliver the entire cargo, which includes food, medicine and clothing.
"[We have] obtained the consent of the cargo owners of the three Turkish-registered vessels to take possession of, and responsibility for, the entire cargo, and to ensure its timely distribution in Gaza for humanitarian purposes," Serry said.
Israel took control of the cargo after its deadly May 31 navy raid on the flotilla.
Nine Turkish activists were killed in the attack.
Meanwhile, the committee established by the Israeli government to investigate the flotilla attack is expected to hold its first meeting on Wednesday.
The meeting will probably focus on formalities: deciding where the committee will work, and setting a budget and a schedule for testimonies and meetings.
Jacob Turkel, the committee chair, who is a retired supreme court judge, did not announce a time or location for the meeting.
Also on Wednesday, George Mitchell, the US Middle East envoy, returned to the region for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian officials.
He is also preparing for a meeting later this month between Barack Obama, the US president, and Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.
