Product Technologies / Benefits:
- Lifetime Warranty: As an American company, American Standard showers are built tough. Their products live longer in one place than most people do. Drip-free ceramic disc valves, high-grade lead-free brass alloys, and turbine shower heads cables name just a few of the features which make American Standard showers the industry's longest lasting.

For this reason, American Standard shower finishes are fully covered under the lifetime warranty.

Warriors center Festus Ezeli said Monday he has been cleared to play after spending all of this season recovering from right knee surgery and that he expected to participate in the Las Vegas Summer League next month.
"They think it's a good idea, so I probably will," Ezeli said of the Warriors at the team's basketball camp for children at Sonoma Day Country School in Santa Rosa.
"Just go to Vegas, get some touches and get my rhythm back. Just get back to playing. Get back to being comfortable on the court."
The 6-foot-11 Ezeli would join a summer league team that's expected to include Ognjen Kuzmic and Nemanja Nedovic. He said he has played pickup games in the Sacramento area since the end of the season and noticed an improvement in one particular area since he was sidelined throughout the playoffs.
"Explosiveness," he said. "I'm getting it back. I'm actually trying to add more to it."
This week marks the anniversary of offseason surgery to reinforce the MCL and PCL in his knee, which was sprained during the Warriors' regular-season finale in 2013. The team's medical staff at that time estimated a recovery of six to nine months, but Ezeli was ultimately lost for this season coming off his rookie year.
A Warriors first-round draft pick in 2012, Ezeli averaged 2.4 points, four rebounds and nearly one block in 14.4 minutes while playing in 78 games and starting 41 of them. He recently met with new coach Steve Kerr.
"He knows what I bring to the table, and he's excited to coach me," Ezeli said. "I'm excited for a new year to actually finally be playing. It's going to be fun.
"We've got to buy into Steve Kerr because we all want to win, so I know we'll all do that."
High schools
Kahlil McKenzie announced that he's planning to transfer from De La Salle and enroll at Clayton Valley Charter for his senior year.
McKenzie couldn't be reached for comment but posted to his Twitter account: "Transferring from De La Salle going to Clayton Valley Charter family decision not answering any questions about it but I'm a Ugly Eagle."
De La Salle football coach Justin Alumbaugh confirmed that McKenzie, a 6-foot-4, 330-pound defensive tackle, is leaving the school.
The five-star recruit is the son of Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie and has offers from colleges from across the country. He recently said he has narrowed his decision to Tennessee or Arizona and will announce his pick at The Opening, a prestigious Nike football camp, July 10.
Clayton Valley Charter coach Tim Murphy was unavailable for comment.

Clearance to enroll in graduate courses may be granted to students who are intending to transfer courses back to their home institution. Transfer of credit students are not taking graduate courses toward any graduate degree or licensure program at Ball State University and are not considered to be admitted to the Graduate School.
Clearance is granted to students who hold a baccalaureate degree and are actively pursuing a graduate degree program at another regionally accredited college or university and who wish to earn credits for transfer to that institution. Transfer of credit students normally will not be required to submit official transcripts (see next paragraph). However, students must request the dean of their graduate school to complete the Ball State University "Transfer of Credit Status Form" indicating they are in good academic standing (i.e., not under academic probation, suspension, and/or expelled).
If the student has been offered admission to a graduate school at another institution but has not taken any graduate courses at the time transfer for credit status is requested, then the applicant must apply for regular nondegree status and meet all of the requirements for "Admission as a Nondegree Student" found in the Graduate Catalog.
Approval for enrollment as a transfer of credit student is generally given for one academic semester. To be considered for an additional semester, students must reapply as a transfer of credit student.
Students who subsequently wish to be considered for admission to any graduate degree or licensure program at Ball State University must complete the regular admission procedure (including the appropriate application fee) and meet all requirements for their requested program. No more than 9 hours earned as a nondegree student may be applied to any advanced degree program if a person is admitted as a regular graduate student.

A story about songwriter Bobby Sharp incorrectly reported he died of complications during surgery. His co-trustee Natasha Miller said the reason for Sharp's death is not public. Also, Sharp wrote the song "Don't Set Me Free," not "Don't Let Me Go."
Bobby Sharp, a songwriter who endured a years-long legal battle to regain the rights to his hit song "Unchain My Heart," died last week at an Oakland hospital. He was 88.
Sharp, a piano player and singer, penned "Unchain My Heart" in 1960 and Ray Charles turned it into an American sensation in 1961. An energetic cover of the song by Joe Cocker made it popular again in 1987.
Sharp received just $50 for the lyrics when he sold them to musician and composer Teddy Powell, who insisted on shared writing credits. Sharp then used the money to supplement a drug habit. In 1963, Sharp sold his remaining writer's share to Powell for $1,000. Sharp sued Powell for the rights to the song a year later and, after a seven-year legal battle, the suit was settled.
When the original copyright to the song expired in 1987, Sharp renewed it and Joe Cocker quickly snapped it up for his remake.
"Unchain My Heart" wasn't the only piece Sharp wrote. While living in New York, Sharp spent years walking up and down Broadway trying to peddle multiple songs to studio producers. He eventually sold "Don't Set Me Free" to lesser acclaim. Throughout the years, while working as a drug counselor in New York and at Westside Community Center in San Francisco, Sharp wrote several other songs but never penned a hit with the same traction as "Unchain My Heart."
Sharp was born Nov. 26, 1924, in Topeka, Kan., and lived with his grandparents in Los Angeles during the Great Depression. He moved to New York at age 12, staying with his then-relocated parents.
He served in the Army during World War II and attended the Manhattan School of Music. According to the biography on Sharp's website, he played several gigs with jazz legend Benny Carter as well as with Jimmie Lunceford's big band. He also worked with songwriters Charlie Singleton, and Dan and Marvin Fisher.
Friends who knew Sharp in his later years said he was a kind and generous man who was always willing to help when friends were down and out.
Lorrain Taylor, a friend since the early 1990s, said she met Sharp after reading about his legal struggles to regain the rights to "Unchain My Heart" in an Alameda newspaper. Back then, Taylor hosted a television show and invited Sharp to be on it. They became quick friends. When Taylor suffered a medical problem that left her without a car and unable to work, Sharp made sure she was OK.
"He would call me every single day and then he would come over every week and bring chicken, lamb chops, string beans and bananas," said Taylor, who founded 1,000 Mothers to Prevent Violence. "He would make me laugh and always tell me to 'Look before you leap.' I called him my angel because during my vulnerable years I could have been taken advantage of and he was always there for me."
While Sharp spent a majority of his life working as a drug rehab counselor, he revived his music career at least twice in his later years. He paired with jazz singer Natasha Miller in 2004 to release "I Had a Feelin': The Bobby Sharp Songbook," which Miller performed at Yoshi's that year.
Singer Clara Bellino, of Oakland, met Sharp while painting his apartment in 2003. Bellino also quickly became Sharp's friend and eventually acted as his caretaker and musical collaborator. Bellino had been told in advance of her painting assignment about Sharp's songwriting talents and said when she found they jelled together musically, the two paired up to perform benefits in Alameda and to record the song "Hand In Hand" at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Both Bellino and Sharp sang on the recording which Bellino said brought tears to Sharp's eyes when he heard the mixed version on CD.
"It's a beautiful classic jazz song," Bellino said. "He once played it for Nat King Cole, but he (Cole) died before he could record it."
Bellino created a documentary about the making of "Hand In Hand," which is linked to her website at www.clarabellino.com. She recently shopped the "Hand In Hand" recording to producers at the Midem music conference in Cannes, France.
Sharp lived alone in Alameda and didn't have any surviving family members.
The Bobby Sharp Celebration of Life Memorial will be held 1-3 p.m. Sunday, March 10 at
Rhythmix Cultural Works, 2513 Blanding Ave., Alameda

In Sept 2008, I injured my hamstring while training for a marathon. Went to dr and physical therapy with the hope of being able to still run an Oct marathon (dr sounded hopeful) but it didn't heal that quick. Over the last year, I slowly built back up to being able to run without pain but it's still gives me problems with knee pain and a feeling of instability. Last week, I noticed that when I flexed the hamstring, there is a good sized lump of muscle about 5 inches above the knee and then a cavity or hollow looking space below the lump. My chiropractor looked at it today and said I must have partially torn my hamstring sometime in the past and suggested that I never try to run a marathon lest I make it worse. He said there was basically nothing that could be done--the hamstring will always be in a weakened state. I asked about massage and he said it might help short term but that nothing was going to help in the long run, so to speak. He said I could run maybe a half marathon but never to over do it so I wouldn't be able to run again. Has anyone had a similar tear and still run a pain-free marathon? If so, how did you do it?
Since noone else has replied yet, I will. I'm no Dr. and even if I was, I don't know all the details of your case but if it was me and I had my heart set on completing a marathon, then I would probably try. I would be patient as it may take years to prepare and at least partially restore your hamstring. Also realize that it's possible that it would never happen but that doesn't mean I wouldn't try. You may want to talk to a sports dr. Worse case, is surgery and option?
I'll take a shot at this question also.
First off, it has to be devastating to hear those words "DON'T EVER RUN A MARATHON". The thoughts that would be going through my mind would be, "you have GOT to be kidding me, right?"
I know they say you should always listen to your doctor and the doctor is usually right, but I wonder sometimes if it is just a "safety blanket" statement that they make to avoid potential reprecussions later or is it due to them not having specific knowledge of treatment for that particular injury. When I say this, I am just thinking that some doctors treat SPECIFIC injuries and may not have all the data on your particular situation. I would do a little research to see if there are similar cases to yours out there and how they have been handled. There may be a doctor who has a method which would allow you to repair your hamstring sufficiently enough to run a marathon. Also, what did your actual medical doctor tell you about the injury? A chiropractor (at least most of them) are not doctors of medicine so it is possible as one other posted stated that surgery could resolve your problem.
Having said all of that, until you find information that says otherwise, it would be best to hold off on the marathon preps.
I would get a 2nd.........or 3rd..........or 4th opinion. I would get opinions from different types of doctors: Sports Med. Muscular specialists. Ortho maybe? I'd probably throw in a good PT into that mix. I'd also do LOTS of research on your own on the internet.
I've tried to convey the following before and I'm frequently disappointed in my ability to clearly communicate what is in my head: When we get opinions or diagnoses from the medical professionals we see I think we have to listen to them in the spirit of both hearing what they have to say and being open to what they have to say and a very high degree of questioning and skepticism. I see people who take a doctor's word as gospel and it drives me crazy. I'm not saying you're doing this. On multiple occasioins doctors have told me stuff that was flat out wrong. One doctor was ready for me to go into surgery he was so sure of his diagnosis, but after 5 visits to a PT I was running pain free. One doctor told me if my post tib tendonitis came back after a 3 week layoff my body was not structured to run and I had to stop for the rest of my life. He (nor I - I had just started running) didn't know anything about good shoes. I got some good running shoes and ran fine. Actually, that specific episode happened 15 years ago and since then I've run thousands of miles and a half marathon. Have you read Born To Run by Chris McDougall? He had multiple running-knowledgeable experts say he couldn't run again because of all his plantar fasciitis issues. But he researched and studied on his own and learned there might be a way to deal with it - and he did. Now he is a barefooter, I believe.
So the balancing act I'm suggesting here is just that - a balancing act. I'm not saying we can treat ourselves. They've been to medical school and we haven't. They're professionals and we're not. In my opinion, err on the side of questioning - and go see if you can find other data that either supports or refutes that recommendation.
I wish I could commit the following to memory. From The Lore of Running I've seen reported the following approximate quote: "Never take as final word an opinion about running from a non-runner, even if that person's name has the word 'Doctor'." (And in my case, the guy who was so sure of his diagnosis that was going to have me go into surgery - he was a runner.)
Good luck.
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
I'm sorry I forgot to answer this one earlier, but what you appear to be describing is an actual torn muscle, not just a micro-tear. Unless this thing has a mind of its own and is going to reach up there all by itself and re-attach... it ain't going nowhere, buddy. If you were a pro athlete, youda been on a gurney to the op room post haste.
Are you by any chance an older athlete they are not concerned about, or do they think your insurance won't cover surgery? There is absolutely nothing you can do with it as-is without surgery, and no - you shouldn't run a marathon or anything else. That musta hurt like the dickens!
I'm 36--a recreational runner/triathlon participant. We have good insurance and soon after the injury, I went to a sports dr whose office sees the pro football team here in town...so I don't think they were neglecting me--but maybe they were. They said with PT I might still make the marathon I was training to do--which seems a bit crazy now since I'm still dealing with it. More recently, my chiropractor said surgery is not an option since it was not a complete tear--is that right? If tears hurt that bad, I'm not sure when I actually tore the hamstring as I don't recall a severe pain to the hammi--it was my knee that really hurt but the dr said it was caused by the hamstring.
You could probably get through it somehow if you ran it easy, but I wouldn't compete. Marathons gradually exhaust the leg muscles, increasing the load on what's left. You have fewer muscle fibers to rely on to begin with, and if the injured fibers had already torn, the odds increase against the remaining muscle.
In the case of the knee, unbalanced tension on that side is probably responsible for the pain. No idea why it didn't hurt, but there could be a non-standard surgical option.

(Coenobita clypeatus)
Think Tank's hermit crab exhibit and the associated panel "Shell Seekers" provide visitors with an opportunity to explore the definition of tools and the evidence of thinking during tool use.
Land hermit crabs of many different species are found in tropical areas of the Indo-region, the western Atlantic, and the western Caribbean. They live close to the shoreline and must have access to land and water. There are also entirely aquatic species of hermit crabs.
As a hermit crab grows, it molts, shedding its exoskeleton and creating a new, larger one. A crab builds up enough water pressure in its body to split the old skin. A crab may eat its molted skin, possibly for its calcium, vitamins, and minerals.
Hermit crabs use shells for protection from predators and dehydration. A hermit crab has a ranked hierarchy of fixed motor patterns that it goes through when choosing a new shell. Image and intention may be part of the pattern, but that does not mean thinking is occurring. The steps are always the same, in the same order, and show no flexibility.
In the wild, hermit crabs are omnivorous scavengers, meaning they eat whatever they can find. At the Zoo, they are fed fish food, crab food, and various fruits and vegetables.
Land hermit crabs live about ten years.
Hermit crabs mate in saltwater. Both males and females partially emerge from their shells to mate. After the eggs hatch, the larvae go through several aquatic life stages and molts. When they reach adulthood, the crabs migrate to begin their terrestrial life.
Land hermit crabs are good climbers and should be kept in a covered container. They need a good supply of empty shells to try on after molting. Hermit crabs also need high humidity and should be able to go into water. At the Zoo, petroleum jelly is used around the edges of the tank to keep ants out. Hermit crabs are not aggressive, but the large, purple claw can give a nasty pinch — so zookeepers handle them with care!
The National Zoo does not encourage purchasing any type of exotic pets. However, if you do own hermit crabs, we encourage you to read through the following information to best care.
Providing hermit crabs with the right type of housing and food can help them live for several years.
Here are several guidelines to keep a hermit crab happy and healthy.

Fragile Boundaries
DCCA Members' Juried Exhibition 2012 exhibiting artists:
The Annual Members' Juried exhibition highlights local and nationally-recognized artists whose works range from drawing and painting to sculpture and photography. Juried by internationally renowned curator Julien Robson, the exhibition represents the incredible diversity of subject, media and technique available to today's most promising contemporary artists.

DCCA Curator of Contemporary Art
Fragile Boundaries
Comments from guest juror Julien Robson, Curator of Contemporary Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts
The DCCA Members exhibition is not only an opportunity to take a look at the high quality and rich vitality of art being made in the region, it is also an opportunity to explore the tendencies and commonalities that artists here appear to share. As a juror I see my role as one of supporting and promoting art of the highest quality but would be at pains to insist that mine is not a scientific practice but one that is critically directed while being deeply affected by my own subjectivity. After selecting works for this exhibition I was asked whether I had noticed any particular tendencies among the submissions and while my first impulse might have been uncertain, in retrospect, as I have thought about how to place works and display the show, I have begun to see commonalities that suggest not only correspondences between different artists' works but also this curator's keen interest in the work of art as a form of resistance.
By resistance I am not referring to a direct political subject matter that might be illustrated in the work but, instead, the way the form and content of a work reveals complex ambiguities that short circuit its containment within an all-encompassing (totalizing) meaning. Refusing to be framed or controlled in a singular manner, I see these works as open-ended, continually slipping the constraints of description and making fragile the boundary that divides one meaning from another. For example: painting oscillates between material and illusion, and abstraction and figuration, resisting their amalgamation; photography stops and expands time, revealing what's there while resisting its own fidelity to the seen; sculpture stands still yet suggests the passing of time, revealing the tangible while resisting substantiality. Bringing these and other conditions into effect, the works in the exhibition employ strategies of abstraction, translation, curtailment, and defamiliarization that give life to resistance. And, as representation becomes contested ground, the boundaries that seemed so clearly to frame and define their meanings become fragile and porous, opening up and engaging the imagination of the viewer.

How 'Ender's Game' Went From Page to Screen
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are two of the writer-producers behind "Star Trek Into Darkness," but the team known as "K/O" is also producing the coming films "Ender's Game," "Now You See Me" and the Fox television series "Sleepy Hollow." Not to mention the sequel to "The Amazing Spider-Man," which they co-wrote and which is currently filming around New York.
Speakeasy talked with Kurtzman and Orci, who have been friends and writing partners for more than 20 years, starting with the television series "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys."
"It's funny, it used to be a binary, like he's Spock and I'm Kirk, in terms of personality," Kurtzman says. "It's not quite that simple anymore. I think when we first started, Bob was more about logic and logic flow, and I was always about the emotion of what was going on. Now, having written together for almost 22 years, our voices are in each other's heads to such a large degree that it's very difficult sometimes to distinguish between the two."
Below is the second part of the interview, edited. (Read the first part here.)
What were some of the challenges you and director Gavin Hood faced in adapting Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" into a film?
Orci: "Ender's Game" was a book that we both loved from teenagehood. It was published in 1985 and I think we read it in high school, maybe even earlier. The challenge with the book is it's very internal in that a lot of the narrative that occurs is within the character's head and the trick is, how do you dramatize that? The answer is both through having some of those internal struggles be dramatically shown as scenes, and second, we have an advantage that the book does not have, and that is actors. We have great actors who can not only say things, but play things and play reactions on their faces and actually convey a lot of the emotion of the book. Thankfully now we have the technology to make it the grand adventure that it deserves to be. We have the technology to render a Zero-G environment in a totally believable and incredible way.
Orson Scott Card has publicly expressed his disapproval of gay marriage and homosexuality. (His appointment by DC Comics to write an upcoming "Superman" issue caused controversy and eventually led an illustrator to quit.) He is a producer on the film and is very much associated with it. Do you think his views may affect how the film will be received?
Orci: I was never aware of in the book – and we've read it three or four times during our lifetime before we got into this movie – I never saw any sign in "Ender's Game" of anything that offended Alex or me. The book is beautiful. It's about tolerance, it's about responsibility, it's about growing up. We just tend to judge a book on its own merits. Nothing that anyone could say is going to remove our original reaction of how we perceive this beautiful book. For us, it's just about the book.
Kurtzman: Look, obviously it's a First Amendment issue and Mr. Card is free to express whatever point-of-view he chooses to express, and we are free to disagree with him. At this point, that's all I really want to say about it.
You produced "Now You See Me," which opens later this month. What made you buy the script on spec?
Kurtzman: It was a beautiful spec written by Boaz Yakin and Ed Ricourt and it was just wildly original and entertaining from tip-to-toe. It's very rare that you get a spec that keeps you guessing page to page, that you can't really stay ahead of. There are so few really original concepts these days that feel like they're big enough to deserve the focus and expense of a movie like this. To say nothing of the fact that you read it and you think, what an amazing opportunity for cast. Lionsgate was wildly supportive from the beginning, not only of the movie but of really going after the best cast possible. And it was really a delight because we worked in typically large franchises that have brand awareness, and either a 2 or a 3 in front of it. This just felt like an opportunity to do something really fresh and most of all just really fun.
There's a modern-day Robin Hood side to it where they're redistributing money to the masses.
Kurtzman: Despite being a really fun ride, it was also actually about something. I think the script emerges very much from a collective feeling that a lot of people have gotten very wealthy off of a lot of people who suffered for the last couple years. What was really great about this movie was that it spoke right to the zeitgeist without being preachy on any level. That balancing act of tone was really a testament to how well written it was from the beginning. But yeah, for sure. It was about obviously what's going on in our economy, about people feeling ripped off. There is something extremely gratifying about these thieves who use illusions to restore the order and to right wrongs and right injustices.
The TV series "Sleepy Hollow" is premiering on Fox this season, a retelling of Washington Irving's short story. Is it set in present day?
Kurtzman: It has elements of Washington Irving's story and a new mythology that we've collectively invented.
Orci: Ichabod Crane, who is a man from the past as in Washington Irving's story, has an incredible experience and wakes up today. So he's a man who was born and raised at the beginnings of our country's origins, and wakes up to find the country he was fighting for and bled for, 250 years later. So it's a blending of the original tale and what would happen if it continued on into the modern day.
You're co-writers of "The Amazing Spider-Man" sequel. It's being filmed now and a few photos have been leaked online. How do you keep surprises under wraps – is it even possible to keep things a secret?
Orci: We were skeptical at first because we were like, really? You're going to do "Spider-Man" again just a few years after Sam Raimi, who was in a way our first mentor when we worked on "Hercules" and "Xena"? So we were dubious until we saw the movie and then realized it's inspiring what came before but it's also charting its own territory and its tone is appropriate for today. That gave us the inspiration to say okay, what are you guys thinking here, Sony?
Kurtzman: In terms of the studio, the level of trust that they gave us and the level of love that they give "Spider-Man" is extraordinary. When you're working on movies this size, to have a studio that cares that emotionally about something is for us a huge, huge bonus. It's rare and it's wonderful. There's a ton of speculation about "Spider-Man" all the time. There's a ton of speculation about what the movie's going to be, there have been questions [like] how come you have so many bad guys? We gave an enormous amount of time and deep consideration to the threads that were left open-ended at the end of the first movie. Knowing full well that there was a huge risk of having an abundance of bad guys and suddenly they all get sort of defocused and you can't feel the weight of anyone in particular – obviously that's a huge danger. We totally took that into account in how we designed the script and there isn't one frivolous or unnecessary scene there in terms of the narrative of the story both emotionally and plotwise. In terms of keeping it secret, to some degree, if you're shooting in Times Square, it's going to be impossible to lock down everything. Those photographs of Jamie [Foxx] got out that way.
Orci: I personally don't mind leaks. They're part of the process. Yeah, we've tried to keep things secret. Yeah, we don't want you to know what happens. But what's more fun than a stolen picture of Jamie Foxx in Times Square dressed as a crazy Electro? If I was a fan, I'd want to see that, you know?
Kurtzman: But I also think it is our responsibility to give the audience that we had when we were younger, an experience that has gone away now.
Orci: I agree – I didn't leak it. Don't blame me, I'm just saying, it's fine!
Kurtzman: [laughs] It's important to walk into a theater and not know everything and experience the joy of a reveal. Look, everybody worked so hard to build those reveals into a script and into their script-telling in a way that would land. So for it to be ruined before you get into the theater, well that's just a bummer for everybody.
Orci: All right, I admit it. I leaked the picture. It was me!

KINGSPORT, Tenn. – Lindsey Waters and Amber Taylor each turned in a double-double to lead No. 3 seed Union to a 68-59 victory over No. 6 seed Virginia Intermont in the Appalachian Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Tournament.
The tournament is being held at the MeadowView Marriot Conference Resort & Convention Center.
With the win, Union is now 20-9 overall and advances to the semifinal round where it will face No. 2 seed Tennessee Wesleyan Friday at 5 p.m.
Taylor finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds with Waters recording 10 points and 12 rebounds. Waters also blocked three shots to give her 91 on the season.
Three other Lady Bulldogs scored in double figures. Haley Perkins led the way with 13 points, while Lydia Nash and Laura Perkins each chipped in 10.
Other than tying the score at 6-6 early on, Union trailed the entire opening half and was down 28-25 at the break. Union opened the second period on a 13-3 run to grab a 38-31 advantage with 13:54 to play.
Virginia Intermont fought back, cutting the margin to 38-36 following an Ashley Lindholm 3-pointer with 13:33 remaining. Union responded and quickly had a 51-41 cushion after a Nash bucket with 9:54 on the clock. Union led by as much as 12, and Virginia Intermont never got closer than six points as Union wrapped up the 68-59 decision.
Rainey Story paced Virginia Intermont with 15 points, while Lindholm followed with 12.
The Lady Cobras finish the year with a 14-17 overall record.

At Mighty Leaf, one of our favorite things is when an inspired chef incorporates the natural flavors of tea into a wonderful new dish. That sort of creativity expands our understanding of tea and its many tastes and aromas. And it gives us something exciting to add to our culinary repertoire–if only we can figure out how to make it!
That's why we're thrilled to announce a partnership with Chef Vinita Jacinto! Together we'll publish a series of stunning tea-based recipes right here on our blog. Every two weeks, Chef Jacinto will share a new way to take one of your favorite Mighty Leaf teas and turn it into a new mealtime treat.
Here's Chef Jacinto's introduction to our first scrumptious recipe:
I'm thrilled to be a part of this amazing community of tea, food, flavor and fun! No more thinking of tea as just a beverage. And definitely no more green tea ice cream! We are going to open our minds and our hearts to tea as a spice in our lives. It's a healthier cooking option: big on health and big on flavor!
Join us on this amazing journey!!
The first recipe is a Tea Rice Pudding. We have used Earl Grey. The citrusy notes work really well and the depth of taste has been enhanced by using both the tea infusion and the powdered tea."
Earl Grey Rice Pudding
- Basmati Rice – ¾ cups, rinsed and soaked in water
- Low fat milk – 5-6 cups
- Sugar – ¾-1 cup
- 5 Organic Earl Grey tea pouches
- Let rice soak for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Put rice, 5 cups of milk and 4 tea pouches in a pan and gently bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes making sure you stir frequently. Now squeeze the tea pouches and take them out. There should be a distinct tea fragrance and a hint of color.
- Continue to cook the rice and milk, stirring often. If the mixture is too thick add more milk.
- Take the one remaining tea pouch and cut it open. Powder the tea leaves in a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.
- Check the rice pudding. It should be cooked down to a creamy consistency. Now add the sugar and cook some more.
- Here is the time when you customize it to your taste. Too thick? Add more milk and cook some more. Not sweet enough? Add more sugar to your liking.
- Add half of the powdered tea. Stir and taste. Want more Earl grey? Add all the tea powder. Stir and simmer a few minutes.
- Serve warm on a cold evening or chilled.
- Enjoy!!
- you can add chopped nuts of choice
- you can add golden raisins
- you can use risotto rice {Arborio} and cook it risotto style
- you can use dairy-free milk for a vegan version (almond milk, coconut milk)
Recipe makes 3- 4 servings

Knitter's Review
July 18, 2013
My favorite thing about knitting may not be the knitting at all, nor the yarn or patterns or needles. My favorite thing about knitting is the community it brings together. No matter where you are in the world, if you're a knitter, you need never be alone.
Twelve years ago, I invited Knitter's Review readers to join me at a small Virginia inn. The connections were instant and profound. We did it again the next year, and more people came. The following year, even more people came, and so it went.
The event has endured. This November, I invite you to join me for our 12th annual Knitter's Review Retreat. It takes place in the lakeside town of Canandaigua, New York. This year's theme is longevity—physical, creative, and inspirational. We are lucky enough to be joined by Norah Gaughan, Amy Herzog, Gail Callahan, and Carson Demers, with a bonus presentation by Barbara Parry, a swashbuckling Great White Bale extravaganza, and a special marketplace appearance by Brooklyn Tweed.
All the details are here, and registration will take place on Friday, August 2nd at 12 noon EST. I do hope you'll join me.

Parenting Suffers When Dad Has Depression
March 14, 2011 -- It's not uncommon for fathers to experience at least one episode of major depression within the first year of a child's life, a new study shows.
The study also found that dads with depression were nearly four times more likely to spank their babies and about half as likely to read to them, compared to fathers who were not depressed.
That's important because previous studies have shown that physical punishments like spanking may lead children to become more aggressive, and reading to children helps kids develop language skills.
"This study, I think, is very important because it documents what happens in families when fathers are depressed. We have very little evidence about that," says James F. Paulson, PhD, professor of pediatrics at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk.
"This idea that fathers who are depressed are more likely to use a harsh parenting tactic and also less likely to read to their children really points to concrete effects of depression in the father on the family," says Paulson, who has studied paternal depression but was not involved in the current research.
When Dad Gets Depressed
For the study, researchers recruited parents having babies at 75 hospitals in 20 large cities around the U.S. between 1998 and 2000.
More than 1,700 fathers who reported living with their children "all or most of the time" were interviewed by researchers when their babies were 1 year old.
To assess depression, they were asked if, during the past year, there had been at least two weeks when they felt sad, blue, or depressed or had lost interest in most things like hobbies, work, or fun activities.
Overall, about 7% of men in the study reported an episode consistent with major depression in the previous year.
Compared to fathers who didn't report persistent low moods, depressed fathers were more likely to report substance abuse and more likely to be unemployed.
"Historically, and there are many studies that back this up, unemployment is one of the strongest risk factors for depression in men," says study researcher R. Neal Davis, MD, a pediatrician at Intermountain Healthcare in Murray, Utah.
Davis and his team also found that depressed fathers were less than half as likely to read stories to their children and nearly four times more likely to report spanking their young children, compared to dads who said they were not depressed.
Those differences remained even when researchers accounted for other things that might affect parenting skills, like age, race, household poverty, education level, and employment and marital status.
The study is published in Pediatrics.

Imagine living in a town where rock n' roll music and dancing were strictly forbidden but the youth just want to have fun.
That's the subject of the all-school musical being presented at Marietta High School this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
"Footloose: The Musical" is based on the 1980s movie "Footloose" starring Kevin Bacon as "Ren," the new guy in school who comes from Chicago to the highly conservative Texas town and stirs things up. The movie was remade recently starring Julianne Hough as the preacher's rebellious daughter "Ariel."

A group of male cast members, including Trace Young (far right) as 'Ren,' perform a scene from the upcoming Marietta High School production, "Footloose."
Taking on the popular classic was the idea of choir director Elizabeth Thacker, who is assisted by Middle School choir director J.D. Benson, Jeremy Grosklos and Brian Turrill, director of musical theater at PACE in Parkersburg.
"There were two reasons we chose this show," said Benson. "It's been a long time since MHS has done a musical and we thought this would be something the kids could relate to. We also hoped to capitalize on the recent film (remake)."
Sarah Rauch, a member of Premiere show choir, plays the role of "Vi Moore," the reverend Shaw Moore's wife.
Fact Box
If you go
What: 'Footloose' the musical.
Where: Marietta High School auditorium.
When: Friday and Saturday, 7 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m.
Cost: $5 student general admission; $10 general admission; reserved seating, $12 to 15.
"I didn't think it would be a big part because she doesn't do a lot in the movie. But in the musical she has a solo," she said.
The all-school musical was open to anyone in any grade, regardless of musical talent, according to Rauch, whose mother, Cathy, had nothing but good things to say about the production.
"I'm very much looking forward to it," she said, adding, "The kids have put many hours into rehearsing and have really gone above and beyond."
Benson, who will lead an orchestra of eight students during the performances, said he has been pleasantly surprised by the level of talent he has seen from the students, adding that there are non-choir members in the cast, as well as students who have never before been on stage.
Tackling the role of "Ren" was somewhat of a challenge for MHS junior Trace Young.
"I don't really identify with him so it was kind of a stretch," said the veteran of school plays, Mid-Ohio Valley Players' productions and member of Premiere.
"I went out for him specifically because I have never had a lead role," he said.
Young said he spends a lot of time on stage and has enjoyed working on the songs and dances.
"It's been a blast and I think the audience will be very pleasantly surprised, especially with the music and great solos," he said.
The musical will be presented Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students, $10 for general admission and reserved seats are available for $12 to 15.

How do I make games for Kongregate?
While there are lots of tools and languages that allow you to make games, the ones uploaded to Kongregate are either Flash or Unity3d games. This guide is about Flash, which offers comparable 3D performance and quality to Unity.
To upload a Flash game to Kongregate, you need to be able to compile .swf files.
What is a .swf file?
SWF is a file format for multimedia, vector graphics and ActionScript.
Files using the SWF extension are media files that require the Adobe Flash plug-in to render. SWF files are used for a variety of applications — from video embedding to entire websites — and can create dynamic, visually rich media to create an interactive environment. According to Adobe, approximately 99 percent of Internet users have Flash installed and enabled on their browser, making it one of the most widely adopted Internet technologies.1
Where can I get these SWF files?
You make them. You do not get them from other sites, as that is stealing. See the Uploading section in the FAQ for more info.
What software do I need?
You need a text editor and a compiler in order to make a SWF file; there are different IDEs which allow you to do this.
Most flash developers use one of the following:
- FlashDevelop ( Official Site | Download)
- FlashDevelop is free to download an use.
- FlashDevelop is focused on the coding aspect. Its text editor includes many features that make the developer's life easier by showing you hints, bracket-pairs and even allowing you to customize the font color of the different parts of your script.
- When using FlashDevelop, you'll have to import your graphics and other media via code (it takes a single line to do so).
- It's also worth mentioning that FlashDevelop compiles faster, but it's Windows-only (can be run in Linux or OSX via a virtual machine).
- Adobe Flash Professional CS ( 30-day Trial | Students Edition | Purchase Flash CS 6.0 )
- The current version of Adobe Flash (CS 6.0) costs around $700 USD.
- The Student Edition can save up to 80% of the price, but with limitations included on the purchase page
- Adobe Flash, being animation software, includes a graphic editor, allowing you to draw and edit your pics and add them to your project with a couple of clicks.
- It also allows you to easily create, edit and export animations without requiring external software.
Both options are good and will give you the necessary tools to make Flash games. The choice is yours.
Related Files: .fla, .as3proj and .as
- .fla
- This is the file format of the Flash projects created with the Adobe Flash software. These files will open your project, which includes graphics, sounds, animation instructions, frames (if you're using them), etc. FLA files are opened and edited with Adobe Flash.
- .as3proj
- .as
- These are files that store the script code of your ActionScript classes, which are used to keep your code organized, among other things.These files can be opened and edited with any text editor (Notepad++, etc), including the FlashDevelop and Adobe Flash ones.
Remember that these files are used to edit your game, but you can't upload them to Kongregate. To submit a game, you must compile your project and upload the resulting SWF file.
What code do I need to learn to make a Flash game?
You need to learn a coding language called ActionScript. The latest, currently supported and most powerful version is ActionScript 3.0 or AS3. Another option is Haxe, an open source language that can target multiple platforms and devices, including Flash..
An alternative to learning to code would be to use software similar to Stencyl. This thread is intended to cover the programming aspects of making a game. You should visit the Stencyl Forum or Stencyl Website to learn more.
Tutorials And Reference: Where do I learn ActionScript 3?
Michael James Williams' Avoider tutorial is a good place to start. It covers all the basic elements of ActionScript 3 and explains the code, so you know what you're doing instead of simply copy-pasting someone else's game.
The FlashDevelop tutorial will help you if you are using FlashDevelop, as it's focused to it. Note that it's not finished (and may never be), but it covers the basic aspects of FlashDevelop (installing and configuring the IDE, using the embed metatag).
The AS3 Language and Components Reference should be immediately bookmarked, as you'll be checking it every 5 minutes while you start learning.
More programming related tutorials can be found in the Flash Game Tutorials Thread >>
Debugging: My code isn't working ):
Once you start making games, there will be times when you find yourself struggling to make some code to work properly. If you have any questions, feel free to make a new thread on the forums and other developers will gladly help you. Just make sure to give a proper formatting to your posts if they include code.
You can also visit the Game Development Room where you'll be able to chat with other developers and try to find a solution to any problems you may have.
Is there a "Flash Game Maker" to easily create Flash games?
If you think programming is challenging, visit the Stencyl forums and read the stickies. Stencyl allows you to make Flash games without having to write code. Note that Stencyl games can have bad performance and not using code will greatly reduce what you can do with your game.
Additional Tools & Frameworks (free/open source):
Flixel: A free collection of AS3 files to help you organize, improve and optimize your games.
FlashPunk: An AS3 library focused on 2D bitmap graphics: animation, collision detection, motion tweens, etc.
Citrus Engine: Another library. Includes a sound manager, particles system and premade objects, among others.
Pixelizer: Pixelizer is a component based framework for writing games in AS3. It is easily extendable and reusable, plus it uses blitting to render the graphics.
GiTD Template: An AS3 template for the GiTD contest.

During the Polk County Board of Commissioners meeting this week, Michelle Cote, Polk County director of Property Records, stated that the county intends to start selling same sex marriage licenses as of July , as long as an update in the computer system is complete by that time. The licenses, which will not be active until August 1, will be the same as those filled out by heterosexual couples.
Other news
• Lake Agassiz Regional Library is facing a $246,000 deficit, having spent the money in their operating reserve. As of this time, a replacement assistant director has not been hired and may not be, saving approximately $60,000. "I don't know what we are going to do," said Board Chair Craig Buness, "but obviously we are going to need to make some changes." (Read more about the LARL budget and their request for an increased contribution from the City of Crookston next week.)
• During a forfeited property sale earlier this month, the City of Crookston purchased the former Rock's Jewelry, Z-Place and Cable TV properties. The land that housed the former Professional Building did not sell, as the set minimum selling price was not met. Polk County Assessor Rod Wagner will work to determine what can be done with the property and consult the board at an up-coming meeting.
• Richard Sanders of the Polk County Highway Department is in the process of gathering quotes for an estimated electrical and solar radar speed signs for some of the county's smaller cities.
• Due to a legislative change, the cost of Minnesota driver's licenses will increase as of July 1, 2014. At that time, counties will collect $8 per processed license rather than the current $5.

What Lindenwood University international students should know about the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System?
The news media has reported extensively on how the U.S. government is seeking more efficient ways of managing information on international students in the United States. We have prepared this handout to help you understand the kind of information that Lindenwood University, and all colleges and universities in the U.S., must maintain on international students and how this information is shared with the government in a manner prescribed by law. We hope you find this explanation helpful. For further questions, please contact the International Student Center.
What is SEVIS?
SEVIS is an internet-based system that allows schools and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (formally US CIS, now US CIS) to exchange data on the visa status of international students. Accurate and current information is transmitted electronically throughout an F-1 student's academic career in the United States. U.S. embassies and consulates and ports of entry (POE) also have access to SEVIS.
Is SEVIS new?
Yes and no. The requirement that schools provide the federal government with information about each student's status is not new. Most of the information that will be reported to SEVIS has been required by the CIS for many years, but the existing paper-based system precluded widespread coordination amongst schools and governmental agencies. In 1996, Congress passed legislation directing the CIS to move to an electronic data collection system. This program would come to be known as SEVIS-the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System. Technical challenges and lack of funding delayed the program for several years. However, in October 2001, Congress passed the USA Patriot Act that authorized additional SEVIS funding and required nationwide compliance by January 30, 2003.
How does SEVIS work?
After Lindenwood University admits an international student, SEVIS is notified and the CIS approves Lindenwood University's request to issue an I-20. Lindenwood University sends the new bar-coded I-20 form to the student. The student visits the U.S. consulate or embassy abroad, and they confirm through SEVIS that the I-20 the student is carrying is a valid document. If everything is in order, they issue the visa. An US CIS officer at the airport or port of entry reports to SEVIS the student's entry into the U.S. When the student arrives on campus, he/she reports to the International Student Center (ISC), and the school confirms through SEVIS the student's enrollment. Lindenwood University continues to provide regular electronic reports to CIS throughout the student's academic career. Finally, SEVIS records the student's departure from the United States.
What data does SEVIS collect?
Lindenwood University must report:
• hether the student has enrolled at the school, or failed to enroll.
• A change of the student or dependent's legal name or address.
• Any student who graduates prior to the end date listed on the I-20.
• Academic or disciplinary actions taken due to criminal conviction.
• Whether the student drops below a full course of study without prior authorization from the DSO (immigration regulations refer to international student advisors as "designated school officials"-DSO's).
• Termination date and reason for termination.
• Other data generated by standard procedures such as program extensions, school transfers, changes in level of study, employment authorizations, and reinstatement.
• Any student who fails to maintain status or complete his or her program.
What does "fail to maintain status" mean?
Some examples of failure to maintain status include dropping from full-time to part-time enrollment without prior approval from the DSO, attending a school other than the one a student is authorized to attend, failure to apply for a timely transfer or I-20 extension or change in level of study, unauthorized employment, and failure to report a change of address.
What are the consequences if a student fails to maintain status?
The student's record will be updated with SEVIS every quarter. Students who fail to maintain status lose the privileges of their student visa and become subject to deportation. Specific consequences may include denial of re-entry to the U.S., inability to move from undergraduate to graduate status, denial of requests for Practical Training, denial of requests to change visa status, and possible denial of all future visa applications.
Can a student who is "out of status" regain legal status?
If a student drops below a full course of study without prior approval from the DSO, that "event" would be reported to CIS via SEVIS and he or she would be out of status. The student may apply to CIS for reinstatement if the violation resulted from circumstances beyond his or her control. Reinstatement is intended to be a rare benefit for exceptional cases. The student may not apply for reinstatement under any circumstances if he or she is out of status longer than five months. If CIS does not reinstate the student, he or she may not appeal that decision.
How will Lindenwood University help students comply with immigration laws?
Lindenwood University is committed to assist students in ways that prevent status violations from ever occurring. Accordingly, effective Spring Quarter 2003, these registration procedures will take effect:
• F-1 students new to Lindenwood University must physically check in with the International Student Center (ISC) prior to registering for classes. The ISC will review the student's visa documents, confirm to SEVIS that the student has arrived on campus, and then release the restriction on the student's registration.
• All F-1 students who register for less than a full course of study (other than their vacation quarter, usually Summer Quarter) without a waiver of the full-time requirement will have their registration cancelled at the end of add and drop period of the quarter.
• International students will not be able to drop below a full course of study after the 7th calendar day of the quarter without prior authorization from the ISC. "Full-time" means 12 credits per quarter for undergraduates, and 9 credits for graduate and professional students. Acceptable reasons for reduced credit load include:
• New students to the USA who experience academic difficulties (for example, unfamiliarity with American teaching methods, initial difficulty with the English language, or improper course level placement) may be authorized to take a reduced credit load.
• Students in their final term of study need only the credits required to complete the degree.
• Students who have a medical problem can reduce their credit load or take the quarter off if they have the required documentation.
Remember, only the Designated School Officials in the ISC have authority to authorize a reduced credit load!
What happens if Lindenwood University fails to comply with the SEVIS regulations?
The US CIS is required to audit Lindenwood University's compliance with these new requirements every two years. Failure to comply with the federal regulations could result in the loss of Lindenwood University's ability to accept international students.
Will SEVIS benefit students in any way?
Data moves faster through an electronic system than through a paper system. Students can expect that US CIS forms will be produced faster, applications for benefits such as Practical Training will be approved more quickly, and visas will be granted without the usual long delays.
What should students do about SEVIS?
Read email updates from Lindenwood University or the International Student Center. Changes in immigration or visa procedures sometimes happen quickly. Information is posted as soon as we have reliable facts.
Understand the immigration regulations and learn how to maintain lawful status in the U.S., and refer any questions or problems immediately to the experts at the ISC. The four words we hate to hear are: "But my friend said..."
Be proactive. Students should plan their course schedules carefully so that they maintain full-time enrollment. Make travel arrangements early, and anticipate delays at consulates and border crossings. Keep all documents up-to-date. Changes in degree level, extensions, and travel validations must be done in a timely manner and on SEVIS documents. Allow time for processing new forms.
If you are unsure about any regulation, don't guess you know the answer - talk to an ISC advisor.
Feel free to come to the ISC for assistance. Lindenwood University is a better place because you are here, and we are committed to your success!

The Bay Area is America's swim central.
San Jose-Santa Clara ranked second while San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont was fifth, according to a study of the country's best swim cities commissioned by USA Swimming and Speedo. The scores were based on the percentage of active swimmers, swim clubs, pools and elite athletes. The Bay Area's place is bolstered by the stellar men's and women's swim programs at Cal and Stanford.
Ann Arbor, Michigan, was ranked first with Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, third behind the South Bay. The Connecticut corridor of Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk finished ahead of San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont.
San Jose-Santa Clara had the most USA Swimming members per 1,000 people and the most diversity of any region studied. The South Bay got a boost from the rich history of the Santa Clara Swim Club that has produced 51 Olympic gold medals and annually plays host a major international meet.
"San Jose, Santa Clara and the Bay Area represent the best of the sport in America by placing focus on both community involvement on swim teams and Olympic headline makers," said Matt Farrell, USA Swimming's chief marketing officer.
San Francisco-Oakland made the top five thanks to Berkeley's Olympic stars Natalie Coughlin, Nathan Adrian and Anthony Ervin. The area also had the country's largest number of masters swimmers.
A list of the 50 top swim cities can be found at: www.usaswimming.org/50TopSwimCities.

Intentional or not, Cal took out the trash Friday afternoon when it released Sonny Dykes' contract. That's the phrase journalists use when an entity releases news in the final hours of the workweek, hoping the news will get overlooked.
And if the Bears decided to release the contract on Friday specifically because they knew the NCAA was coming down on Saint Mary's earlier in the day? Well played, Bears. Well played.
But we didn't lose sight of Dykes' deal finally becoming a matter of public record.
Before we hit the details, one point: The $1.94 million per year average is not a surprise; it's on the high end of the range I anticipated but certainly within reason.
Far more important is the salary pool Cal has made available for assistant coaches, and the Bears did not release that information. (When they do, we'll be on it.)
How does Dykes' compensation compare to his 11 peers in the Pac-12? At $1.94 mill/yr, he ranks 10th, based on my notes on head coach salaries throughout the league.
Here's the list:
(Note: Figures don't include signing bonuses or payments to offset buyouts.)
(Rodriguez also has $125,000 per year placed into a retention fund payable every two years.)
A few items of note from the contract, which, per Cal policy, does not involve state money:
In 2014, the figure drops to $3,000,000
In 2015, it's $2,250,000.
In 2016, it's $1,500,000
In 2017, it's $750,000.
(Everything about the buyout clause in Dykes' deal is more carefully written, and more clearly spelled out, than it was in Tedford's contract.)
If he leaves in 2014, he owes $2,500,000.
If he leaves in 2015, he owes $2,000,000.
If he leaves in 2016, he owes $1,000,000.
If he leaves in 2017, he owes $750,000.
Yes, there is a mitigation clause: Dykes must make "reasonable efforts to obtain employment at a BCS level head coach or coordinator."
The bonuses for the last two seasons of Dykes' deal are identical when it comes to bowl games and a bit less for regular-season win totals.
There you have it. Nothing outlandish.
Now we wait for the assistants salary figure.

In 1992, Kristi Yamaguchi earned an Olympic gold medal in figure skating for herself and the United States. That year, she became a national icon, but even two decades on, she still finds herself in the spotlight...and working to stay healthy.
The author, Dancing with the Stars champion and, likely most importantly, mother of two joined Brazos Valley This Morning Wednesday to talk about how she tries to maintain a healthy lifestyle despite a busy schedule.
One tasks moms can do to benefit their little ones can be helpful.
"Going out and playing with the kids and getting outside with them, running around a little bit," Yamaguchi said. "With an exercise DVD, I like to stay home and work out so I'm close by. Turning that on or turning anything on that gets me active that way."
She also touts the use of probiotics, so-called "good" bacteria that help maintain balance of the organisms that are naturally in a person's intestines. According to WebMD, probiotics are used by people to treat stomach and intestinal issues.
Found in yogurt and other dairy products in addition to being sold separately, Yamaguchi says she uses probiotics products daily.
"With this, you know you're getting the exact same dosage every day, what your body needs," she said. "It's a proactive way to stay on top of your digestive health and keep a balance there and feel good."
According to WebMD, "more study is needed on the safety of probiotics in young children, the elderly, and people who have weak immune systems." However, the site notes most probiotics are already in people's systems.
To hear more from Yamaguchi on how she works to stay healthy, watch the video attached to this story. There are also links to get more information on Yamaguchi, life lessons she's learned from figure skating, and probiotics.

Purbeck Cottages
Fancy an island escape? Our Purbeck holiday cottages can do just that...well almost! Virtually surrounded by water, the peninsula of Purbeck boasts wonderful views across The Channel. It's a delightful place to discover - the magical ruins of Corfe Castle at its centre, a good handful of picturesque villages and traditional seaside resorts, not to mention gorgeous stretches of beach like Studland Bay.
Purbeck holiday rentals - a great choice for families!
If it's good enough for Blyton's 'Famous Five', it's good enough for the rest of us, with plenty on offer for the whole family. Think buckets and spades on Swanage's Blue Flag beach. Enjoy romps with your hound on the sweeping sands of Studland Beach, or cheeky encounters with chimps at Monkey World. Check out a whole stack of armoured vehicles at The Tank Museum. Ride tractors at Farmer Palmers; gleaming carriages on the Swanage Railway. Take a boat trip along the coast. Enjoy a picnic in the grounds of Lulworth Castle which could be only a few moments stroll from your fantastic Purbeck accommodation.
Get fit in Purbeck! Lace up those boots and walk the coastal path along Dorset's Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site - don't miss Lulworth Cove (with Heritage Centre) and Durdle Door. Or pedal the 'Purbeck Ride' following a 47-mile route around the region - that's less than seven miles a day if you book a holiday home in Purbeck for a week. Or opt for the much shorter Sika Cycle Trail in Wareham Forest. And, as you're on a peninsula, expect water sports galore!
Whatever the time of year, enjoy a truly relaxing holiday and book a cottage in Purbeck with us soon!
