Cape Town is a fascinating mosaic of Asian, European and African traditions. These streams of history flow together in the city but, particularly because of the legacy of the apartheid system, visitors to Cape Town are often amazed by the dramatic contrasts that remain between different areas. Nature, too, creates very different sub-climates around the mountain so the vegetation varies a great deal, as of course do the vistas. The city, however, is connected by fast freeways. Thus, twenty minutes from the wine farms of the leafy Constantia valley you could be on a beach, in the bustling city center or in a shanty township. It is truly fascinating to discover the different areas and experience the diversity of culture in the city.
The Atlantic Seaboard
The old docks have been excellently converted into the
City Centre
All the diversity of Cape Town is meshed into the city centre. It is a surprisingly small area and is best covered on foot - but be prepared to fend off hawkers and some street children. Keep your wits and your wallet about you and don't stay out after dark. St. George's Mall and
It is worth driving around the Grand Parade: The
At night, the center empties out of all but street people; it is best seen by day. The exception is the top of Long Street which is abuzz with nightlife, and check out the cafés and restaurants of upper Kloof Street nearby in Gardens.
The Southern Suburbs, Constantia & Hout Bay
If you love rugby or cricket head for Newlands and there is a large, up-market shopping centre nearby in Claremont,
On the other side of the mountain explore Hout Bay, the land of very horsey, independent-minded people living in a fabulous valley. The fishermen in the harbor are a highly spirited bunch. You can take sea trips from here (see the seals on Duiker Island). If the Chapman's Peak drive is open, it is a must-do—magnificent.
The South Peninsula
The south peninsula is mountainous and largely a National Park plus some very charming seaside towns, notably the very British Simon's Town, the fishing village at
The Winelands
The winelands are an extensive area of wine and fruit farms in a mountain setting less than an hour from Cape Town. There is a certain charm and dignity to the area and some very pretty towns. There are many wine farms, in all styles and sizes, but the taste and price are bound to please. Check out a variety of big and small wine farms in different areas, but beware of weekend closing. Don't miss the restaurants of Franschhoek and spending time exploring the great beauty of Stellenbosch.
The Townships
To get some valuable insight into South Africa's political history and cultural diversity take a township tour (specialist companies include African Dawn and Grassroutes). For many people this turns out to be the unexpected high point of their visit to Cape Town; the resilience, enterprise and hope of these poor communities is very inspiring and the stories of the past are a sobering insight into social planning gone mad. It is not recommended that you try to tour the townships on your own, take an organized tour with a specialist company.
The Northern Suburbs
Predominantly Afrikaans, modern and suburban, these areas lie along the N1 freeway. The classic view of

Unbeknown by many visitors to Cape Town, there is a superb tradition of cuisine in the city. The Malay slaves transformed the traditional dishes of Europe and Britain into a unique "Cape Malay" style, using the spices from the passing boats. Such dishes include Bobotie and Breedies. However, most restaurants focus upon Mediterranean and Pacific Rim influences. Naturally, fish and other seafood is very important too, and there is a growing number of African restaurants.
Cape Town was always "the tavern of the seas", and is an important wine-growing area to boot, so some good drinking is in order. There is a genuine love of dining and drinking in Cape Town, and you will find local cuisine and various styles from around the world cooked and presented superbly. Many restaurants have beautiful settings and decor. Most visitors are also amazed at how inexpensive it is to eat out. Too good to be true? Just try.
The Atlantic Seaboard
In Camps Bay, Blues is a perennial favorite. Next door, and sharing the same magnificent view over the beach, is Villamoura, a top quality and very popular fish restaurant. On the main road there are also a number of less formal and trendy eateries. For general fare and family diners the Waterfront has numerous places to eat, such as Emily's, where you will find superb South African cuisine (and a good deal of eccentricity too). Some of the hotels have excellent restaurants, particularly the Cape Grace, the Radisson Waterfront Hotel, and the Mount Nelson in Gardens.
For bars try the Ambassador Hotel in Bantry Bay at sunset. In the Waterfront try the historic Ferrymans or the Quay Four.
Gardens & Woodstock
Aubergine is popular for continental cuisine. The top of Long Street is abuzz in the evenings with all manner of trendy places; for African food and vibes try Mama Africa at number 178. If nothing piques your interest here, try Kloof Street, a minute's drive up the hill, for more cafés and restaurants.
On Church Street in central Cape Town, near Greenmarket Square, Bukhara is an excellent Indian Restaurant.
Constantia lays claim to some of the finest dining in South Africa. The classy La Colombe provides excellent Provencal cuisine. A very enjoyable, well priced restaurant and excellent bar is at Peddlars, on the Bend.
The Winelands
Don't miss the restaurants of Franschhoek: Haute Cabriére and La Petite Ferme are all well regarded, and other restaurants in the area are excellent, too. In Paarl, Bosman's at the Grande Roche Hotel is a very formal and award-winning Haute Cuisine restaurant. The Jonkershuis on the Spier estate offers an excellent and fascinating traditional Cape Malay buffet. The Boschendal Estate offer a famous picnic during the summer months.
In terms of wine tasting it is very unfair to single some estates over others—try your luck! You are unlikely to be disappointed. But, to mention some good places to start: Fairview near Paarl; Delaire (mainly for the view); Warwick in the lovely Idas Valley and Cabriére in Franschhoek for excellent champagne-style wines.
At sunset, the Blue Peter Hotel has a popular bar and light food where diners can watch the sun set over Table Mountain. On the Rocks is a formal restaurant with exceptional views.
Cape Town is by its nature a playful city (materialists left for Johannesburg or London long ago). But the diversions of Cape Town tend to be the beaches, sports, mountain walks, day-trips, wine tasting and by evening, sunsets and fine dining. The arts are necessarily constrained by finances and there are few theaters and concert venues. Museums are, equally, strapped for cash, although a few are well worth a visit. However, the love of music (particularly jazz) is very strong and cinema, too, is popular. There are also some venues for nightlife and a theme park. Festivals and special events are frequent, so check when you're in town.
The SA Museum in the Company Gardens is excellent. The Whale Gallery steals the limelight but the Planetarium and the other exhibits are well done. The Aquarium (in the Waterfront) is superb and highly recommended. The Castle is the oldest building in South Africa and has the excellent William Fehr art collection. The impressive Groot Constantia estate has a grand Manor House that is well worth a visit. Robben Island is now a museum; it was formerly a prison for political activists including Nelson Mandela. Unfortunately, the organization and quality of tours on Robben Island is sometimes poor.
The best place to see art and antiques is at commercial galleries. Try Church Street near Greenmarket Square in the city center. Small galleries are also found in most shopping malls. In-Fin-Art on Wolfe Street is a good place to start.
Cinemas are located in the shopping malls such as Cavendish Square in Claremont and the Waterfront. One exception is the Labia, an old cinema and landmark in Gardens. Cinéma Nouveau (in Cavendish Square and the Waterfront) feature more arty films. There is an IMAX cinema in the BMW Pavilion in the Waterfront. The standard of cinemas is usually very high.
Theater & Concerts
There are two main theater complexes: the Baxter in Rondebosch and the Artscape on the foreshore. They feature the full range of theater, dance and music. The standard and appeal are variable. During the summer there are excellent concerts at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden on Sundays (take a picnic) and the Spier Estate in the Winelands. The Theatre on the Bay in Camps Bay is home to light comedy and thrillers. For "fringe" theater try On Broadway in Greenpoint.
Cape Town has a strong passion for jazz, but there are remarkably few regular venues that are easy to get to. The Green Dolphin in the Waterfront is well known, and Café Camissa is in Gardens on Kloof Street.
To find hip night venues try Mercury on de Villiers Street, the clubs at the bottom of Long Street or La Med at Maiden's Cove near Clifton. The Drum Café is very trendy and cool (32 Glynn Street).
Theme Park
Ratanga Junction opened in 1999. It has various rides; one of which, "The Cobra," is one helluva ride! There are restaurants, a cinema and entertainment venues. This is a good place for families to have some fun.
Tours of Cape Town cannot be readily undertaken on foot or by public transport. However, there are many companies offering tours very similar to the ones below, using microbuses and qualified guides. These are excellent value for money. Otherwise follow the routes outlined below using a car.
Sir Francis Drake described the Cape Town peninsula as "the fairest Cape in the whole circumference of the globe." With fantastic vistas, lovely bays and coastline, penguins, and the most southwesterly tip of Africa, if you do only one thing in Cape Town, this is it! It is a full day visit—try to get an early start.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
From Cape Town, take the M3 (Blue Route) south. You pass the Groote Schuur Hospital (where the first heart transplant took place in 1967), Mostert's Mill (built in 1796 and still in working order), the grand buildings of the University of Cape Town and Newlands forest. At the traffic lights turn right onto Rhodes Avenue. You will come to the famous Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden on the right. Stop here and take a walk in the gardens—they are spectacular.
Rejoin Rhodes Drive and continue south. At the junction turn right and proceed along Rhodes Drive surrounded by forest. Keep going along the windy road until the far end where you will find a traffic circle. Turn left down the Constantia Nek Road (M41). As the hill levels out you will see a sign pointing right for Groot Constantia. Turn right. You may wish to stop at the small parade of fine shops on your left and visit the Old Cape Farm Stall. Then carry on to the Groot Constantia Estate. Enjoy the old Manor House and some wine tasting near the exit.
Stay on Main Road all the way to the Cape Point Reserve. Once you pass Muizenberg you will see its magnificent beach. Very soon, on the right, you will see Rhodes Cottage. Here, Rhodes died in 1902, you may wish to stop and visit the small museum. Look out on the left for the colorful beach changing-rooms in St James. Along this road you will pass interesting antique and art shops. You may wish to stop at Kalk Bay harbor; when the boats arrive, it becomes a festive fish market.
The main road runs on through Simon's Town. Stop in Jubilee square. You may wish to have lunch here and spend time enjoying this old British naval base. You can find details about the town at the information office.
Cape Point Nature Reserve
Resume your journey south. You will pass the Black Marlin on the left; this is a popular lunch stop (book ahead if possible). Perfect stop before heading to the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Enter here. The Reserve is principally dedicated to fynbos, the indigenous flora. At the end of the reserve you will reach Cape Point. Spend time here walking down along the cliffs or up to the Lighthouse. A good lunch is available at the Two Oceans Restaurant.
As you drive away from the Point you will soon come to a left turn for the Cape of Good Hope. If time allows, take this, the Cape is the south-western tip of Africa and worth the extra 10 minutes' drive to it.
Spier Cellars
The Cape Winelands are world-renowned for superb wines and great beauty. The mountains enclose fine Dutch-style towns developed by the Dutch and Huguenot settlers in the late seventeenth century. They took on the wild landscape and left a fine wine industry, pretty towns and a great heritage.
Depart Cape Town and take the N2 highway, you will pass the airport but keep going until you see the turn off to Stellenbosch (R310). Take this turn off, turn left and after a few miles you will see the Spier Cellars on the right. Spier is a winelands entertainment complex. Wander among the old buildings and visit the Cheetah project. As you wish, have a wine tasting here and visit the extensive wine shop. Rejoin the R310 and continue toward Stellenbosch.
If you are interested in brandy, take the next right and make your way to the Van Ryn Brandy cellar for a fascinating tour of the Distillery. Resume your journey along the R310. When you reach the T junction turn right and follow the road into Stellenbosch.
As you approach Stellenbosch turn right into Dorp Street. The variety of architecture and the great oaks and canals of Dorp street are magnificent, but keep your eyes open for signs pointing left to the tourist information. Go there and ask for a walking tour of the town and for free maps of the winelands. The Village Museum is also worth a visit.
Resume the journey, turning right at the end of the road toward Franschhoek. Follow the R45 the length of the beautiful valley until you enter the town. There are many excellent places for lunch in the town and on the pass at its far end. You may wish to walk around the Huguenot Memorial at the end of the high street.
Cabriére Estate
Driving from the Memorial, back down main road, take the first left and follow the signs to the Cabriére Estate (you will follow a farm track). Here, you can sample excellent champagne-style wines. Leave Franschhoek on the R45, retracing your steps, and stay on this road toward Paarl.
At the junction at the end of the R45 turn left and then right into the Agter Paarl road toward the Fairview Estate. The estate will soon be seen on the right. This award-winning estate produces fine wine and goat cheese. See the goat house in the parking area.
Continue along the Agter Paarl road—stop at any of the estates if you are still in the mood for tasting—and at the junction at the end of the road turn left onto the R44. You will come to turnings onto the N1 freeway; turn right toward Cape Town. The journey back to the city takes about 50 minutes.
The Castle of Good Hope
Find a map of the city center from any hotel or information booth. Then follow this route on a journey through the history of the city and some of its most beautiful sights and beaches.
Make your way along Strand Street to The Castle of Good Hope (the oldest building in South Africa). You may wish to park and take a guided tour of the castle and its art collection. Resume down Darling Street past the 1905 City Hall. At the end of the road turn left into Adderley Street. You will see the Great Church on your left (first built in 1700) and the old Slave Lodge on the corner. Pass the Cathedral of St.Mary and turn left into Queen Victoria Street and park. From here explore the Company Garden, walking up to the oldest museum in the country, the South African Museum. It showcases the natural history of South Africa, and early human communities of the sub-continent. It is noted particularly for its whale gallery and collection of Bushman rock art, including the important Linton Panel. This is the only museum in South Africa with an adjoining Planetarium.
St George's Cathedral
Stroll downhill along shady Government Avenue and view the Houses of Parliament. At the bottom you will find St George's Cathedral on the left. Cross the road and walk down St George's Mall, the city's main pedestrian thoroughfare. Turning to the left you will find Greenmarket Square where there is a lively market during the week. Visit the Old Town House on the left side of the square and exit via Burg street which adjoins it. The first right is Church Street where you will find art galleries and antique shops. If you turn left at the end of Burg Street you can soon turn right again into Queen Victoria Street to find your car.
Gordon's Bay
This tour is especially recommended when Southern Right Whales calve off the Hermanus coast (July to December). It is best to get an early start to make the most of the day.
When you reach the beach front you may wish to stop and enjoy the magnificent beach. Continue along the coast into Gordon's Bay (you may wish to stop in the harbor). The road continues south along the coast on the Faure Marine (R44)/Clarence Drive. This is a truly marvelous road with views across False Bay to the Cape Peninsula.
Follow the coast around; take some time to explore the villages along the way (such as Pringle Bay), and visit the Harold Porter Botanic Garden in Betty's Bay (on the left of the road). Continue through Kleinmond. After a while, you will come to the junction with the R43; follow the signs to Hermanus. You will soon cross the Bot River. Follow the R43 on to Hermanus.
Once in Hermanus, follow the main road until you see the Marine Hotel on the right; turn right here and park. There are various places for lunch. After lunch wander along the cliff path, enjoying the tremendous views and, of course, spot whales playing off the coast. You will also find the popular Harbour Museum.
Cape Flats and Table Mountain
Climb the amazing Houhoek pass and soon you will be traveling through the famous Cape apple growing districts of Elgin and Grabouw. Stop at one of the farm stalls along the way. Stop in the car park at the head of Sir Lowrys Pass (it is on the bend) for a wonderful view of the Cape Flats and Table Mountain. Now continue down the pass and all the way back to Cape Town on the N2.

Customer Comments
I very much enjoyed the Toscanello that I received from Wine Club this past month. What was cool was that I had just finished a 2007 Toscanello a couple days earlier, that I had bought down in Blacksburg years ago when my boys were at VT. It had aged nicely... both were similar in taste and very good! |

General Comments: Futures were higher again Friday in response to demand ideas based on the strong export paces seen in the USDA reports in recent weeks and on reports of tight domestic and world cash markets. Demand is still said to be strong, and sales for export have held up well given the price strength in recent weeks. The rally is coming at a time when certified stocks are building as well, although the overall certified stocks remain low. The current rally in new crop prices are bringing into question what farmers in Texas and the Delta and Southeast will plant this year. Some producers in the Delta are noting the recent price rally and might decide to plant more Cotton this year. The plantings intentions report will be released at the end of the month.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast will see dry conditions until precipitation develops about Thursday. Temperatures will average near to below normal. Texas will get dry weather. Temperatures will average near to below normal. The USDA spot price is now 87.25 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.420 million bales, from 0.420 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are up with objectives of 93.90 May. Support is at 91.50, 90.70, and 90.00 May, with resistance of 93.90, 94.60, and 95.00 May.
General Comments: Futures closed higher again on ideas of continuing crop losses from Greening Disease. Traders continue to factor in less production potential due to the greening disease and drought. Temperatures are warm in the state, and conditions are dry, and talk about the potential for more fruit drop and poor development of the crop for next year continues. Harvest in Florida of mid and early oranges is almost over, and the Valencia harvest is underway. Bloom has been reported in groves in all production areas of the state. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and scattered showers. More rain is possible there late in the week. ICE said that 0 notices were posted against March contracts and that total deliveries for the month are 0 contracts.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for mostly dry conditions or light showers. Temperatures will average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed to up with no objectives. Support is at 134.00, 132.00, and 124.00 May, with resistance at 140.00, 141.00, and 144.00 May.
Next page: Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa
General Comments: Futures were lower again Friday in New York and Sao Paulo, but higher in London. Talk of a big offseason crop coming this year in Brazil kept ideas that there will be a lot of Coffee for buyers around. Brazil has Coffee to sell, but production in other countries is more problematical. Brazil offers are not very strong right now, but it is the threat of increased sales that helps keep prices under pressure. Reports of rust in Central America and the production cuts that it are still in the press. Central American losses next year could be 30% or more of the crop. The ICO said recently that the region has already lost 2.5 million bags from the production this year. Current crop development is still good this year in Brazil, and production areas are getting drier weather for the developing crop, although there are a few showers around. There is some talk the drier weather could stress trees. Production ideas remain big there. Central America crops are mostly harvested. Colombia is reported to have good conditions, but some now talk of less than expected production.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are higher today and are about 2.743 million bags. The ICO composite price is now 131.25 ct/lb. Brazil should get scattered showers. Temperatures will average near normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to above normal. ICE said that 5 contracts were delivered today against March futures and that total deliveries for the month are 118 contracts. GCA stocks are now 4.891 million bags, from 4.775 million at the end of January.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are down with objectives of 125.00 and 108.00 May. Support is at 137.00, 134.00, and 131.00 May, and resistance is at 142.00, 145.00, and 147.00 May. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 2230 May. Support is at 2160, 2140, and 2130 May, and resistance is at 2200, 2220, and 2250 May. Trends in Sao Paulo are down with objectives of 169.00 and 161.00 May. Support is at 171.00, 168.00, and 165.00 September, and resistance is at 177.00, 180.00, and 183.00 September.
General Comments: Futures closed a little higher in consolidation trading. The market is congesting for another move, and for now the congestion area looks as much like a bull flag as anything. Chart trends in London and New York are mostly up, but the bulls have not been able to push New York prices above 1900 May, at least not yet. Ample offers seem to appear above that level. Futures seem to uncover new consumptive demand every time the market moves below 1800 in New York. Reports indicate that the Chinese have been using price weakness to buy more Sugar than the trade had anticipated. Brazil will start to offer a little less as mills there prepare for greater domestic Ethanol demand as blends for cars have been changed by the government. Reports from Brazil say that the new crop production looks to be strong, so the diversion into more domestic ethanol use will help offset increased sugarcane production. Exports from Brazil continue to be very strong. Exports from other countries are said to be less than expected.
Overnight News: Scattered showers are expected in Brazil. Temperatures should be near normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 1900 and 1990 May. Support is at 1865, 1850, and 1835 May, and resistance is at 1920, 1940, and 1970 May. Trends in London are mixed to up with objectives of 549.00, 560.00, and 576.00 May. Support is at 536.00, 531.00, and 529.00 May, and resistance is at 544.00, 545.00, and 547.00 May.
General Comments: Futures closed a little lower. Ideas are that current low prices should créate new demand and that the main crop harvest is over in Western Africa and much of Asia so that supplies on offer could also be less. The weather is forecast to be warm and somewhat wet in West Africa this week. For now, traders expect good mid crop production from West Africa. Malaysia and Indonesia crops appear to be in good condition and weather is called favorable. Traders are starting to look ahead and past the midcrop harvest and note that the market could move to a production déficit next year. More buying is being noted in deferred months at this time due to smaller production ideas for the coming crops.

I had just returned a 5 foot potted tree that came damaged from another business. It was sparse and the cement in the pot was all broken up. I ordered this pre-lit tree and it's really beautiful and full. We are so happy with it!
Very simple to assemble and looks beautiful in my living room. It is smaller than I'm used but I love it. Looks real. You don't even need to decorate. The berries look like ornaments.
The lower section of the tree is fairly sparse. I spent well over 2 hours working with the branches trying to fluff up to cover the interior pole. The upper section does not fit snugly into the pole and wobbles and does not stand straight. I also had a difficult time plugging in the correct set of lights into the correct cords...I thought the instructions for this should have been clearer and the illustration was terrible. I ended up using an extension cord because I couldn't get all the plugs to reach designated electrical cord. Over-all the tree looks acceptable and once I get all the decorations on it, I'm confident it will look good. On the plus side, it came really quickly and the top and middle sections of the tree have lots of nice brances and it looks filled in.
I will be putting it up Thanksgiving weekend, but it looks like I won't need to decorate it much because it is so pretty already. We are looking forward to lots of years of use.
I wanted to say thank you for your fast and courteous service. I new what was happening to my order every step of the way. The tree I ordered was delivered quickly, and was just what I ordered. Beautiful ! Thank You, again.
This is advertised and the box is marked as 7 feet - but even in the stand and fully fluffed, it only measures a little over 6 feet. If I hadn't been out of time for holiday entertaining, this would have gone back.
I decided on an artificial tree this year...it's been years since I've had one!!! Started pricing them at various online stores, & found this one here. The picture doesn't even do it justice...I'm SOOOO pleased!!!! I actually arrived (4) days before their expected delivery date, was VERY easy to assemble, & looks AMAZING!!! The best value I've received in a looong time. Happy Holidays!! :D
Tree is perfect; very life like. Ornaments and Tree top Star set it off just right. Used my points and automatic 20% off, price couldn't be any better. Very glad I purchased this. Thank you Overstock!!!!
Pretty tree. Easy to put together. The red berries and pine cones add warmth to the tree. Hope it is as easy to put away once season is over.

UMass Lowell is dedicated to making Lowell the center of water sports activity in the Merrimack Valley. See below for more information about our Kayak Center and Boathouse.
The mission of our Summer Kayak Center is to offer educational and recreational kayaking opportunities to the UMass community and greater public. We provide instructional courses for adults and children of all skill levels and offer kayak rentals daily on the Merrimack River. We would love to get you out on the water, feeling confident, and having fun. We offer a variety of programs and services including:
We offer custom tours and clinics, available for diverse groups from schools, boy or girl scout troops, to corporate groups. This option allows you to build a program that fits your needs and choose the times and dates that best fit your schedule. To schedule your program today, select the link below and complete a Custom Kayak Program Request Form.
For groups of 10 or more looking to rent kayaks together during our open hours, we recommend making a group reservation at least 24 hours in advance. Group reservations can be made by calling 978-995-2362. Groups reservations of 10 or more will receive a 20% discount off our public rental rate.
Note: You need at least 6 people to create a custom program. We recommend you complete your request at least 2 weeks in advance of you preferred date.
The kayaks for our rental program are purchased brand new at the beginning of the year, used for rentals and programs throughout the summer, and sold at the end of the season. Below is a list of the kayaks we are selling at the end of this 2013 season. Kayaks are maintained throughout the summer by kayak center staff and experience normal wear and tear due to rental and summer conditions; some typical wear you may see are: scratches on the hull and discolored deck lines due to sun exposure. Such conditions do not significantly affect the integrity of the equipment. All kayaks are sold as-is.
Advanced Kayak purchase will start on Monday, July 22, 2013. Kayaks are sold on a first-come-first-served basis. They may be purchased over the phone by credit card (call 978.995.2362) or at the kayak center during open hours. After purchase, Kayaks can be picked up at the close of our rental season, on Saturday, August 31st.You will not be able to pick up kayaks earlier than this. You will receive the original certificate of origin when you pick up your kayak. On the day of pick-up, make sure your vehicle is properly fitted with pads or rack to securely carry a kayak, and make sure you bring enough webbing or rope to secure it to that rack and to secure bow and stern lines. If you have any questions about a specific kayak, or which kayak may best fit your needs, feel free to ask kayak center staff, we are glad to help you out. We hope that you come rent with us this summer, enjoy a sunset or moonlit paddle with us, and try these boats out for yourself, it's a great fleet!
These prices are up to 45% off retail!
Kayak Paddles are also available for purchase for $35 each.
Other programs and services offered through the Bellegarde Boathouse include the following. The UMass Lowell Boathouse and the Merrimack River Rowing Association have teamed up to offer a boathouse and community rowing memberships. The Merrimack River Rowing Association offers an array of rowing programs over the summer. The UMass Lowell Bellegarde Boathouse and our waterfront are also available for special events.

For the last three weeks, two films with female protagonists ("The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "Frozen") have been at the top of the box…
There's an unlikelihood so large in "Future Weather" that it nearly derails the film. That was what I admired the most about it. It involves the unusual amount of scientific knowledge possessed by Lauduree, its 13-year-old heroine, and Neel, the pudgy, shy classmate she defends against bullies.
These two are the students of Ms. Markovi (Lili Taylor) in a high school somewhere in Downstate Illinois. They get a lot of attention; Ms. Markovi starts a Science Club and carries on even when Lauduree (Perla Haney-Jardine) decides to drop out. Lauduree doesn't quit because of the obvious reason: Her worthless mom Tanya (Marin Ireland) has abandoned her in a trailer home with the rent unpaid and left for California "to pursue my dream of doing makeup for the stars."
No, even though Tanya left her only $50 (for food and things), Lauduree has dropped out because the club has started a project on reducing the CO2 emission in the atmosphere, and it duplicates work she has already started on her own. She'd lose her "database." Lauduree is fearsomely well-informed about global warming, and trades big words with Neel and their teacher as if they were colleagues in a think tank.
That's the flaw. There is little evidence to explain how Lauduree or Neel came into that information. Neel, a golden-skinned kid who peers out from behind his hair like a sheep dog, has somehow gotten on the same self-improvement track as his classmate. It's possible to know a lot of "scientific facts" at 13, and there are news reports almost daily of 12-year-olds whose Science Fair projects solve nuclear fusion. But nothing in this girl's life accounts for it. Lauduree, whose mother ran away from her after giving her that unfortunate name, is backstopped only by her grandmother, Greta (Amy Madigan), a chain-smoking, hard drinking potty mouth who is planning to move to Florida with her boyfriend Ed (William Sadler). These are not people who study polar bear videos on YouTube.
Lauduree, then, is a stranger in a strange land. Absorbed in her dreams, obsessed by her homework, she shows no grief or panic when left alone and broke by her mother. Without food money, her immediate reaction is to shoplift a light bulb that consumes low energy. One day she wears makeup and when Neel asks her why, she says it's to make herself look more normal so she can get more signatures on her petitions.
Reportedly, Jenny Deller, a 37-year-old born in Murphysboro, partly financed her film with a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and I believe it. She may have gotten a tad carried away by the foundation's support for nature. The result is a film with characters we like (including those played by Lili Taylor and Amy Madigan), in a world that doesn't seem plausible. Yet there's such a sweetness in the way Lauduree carries potted trees everywhere, looking for a home for them. And when Neel and Lauduree get started on the mussels in a nearby creek, there's ecstasy in the way they discuss the role of the mussel in water filtration. They find a mussel stuck in the gravel at the button of a ditch, its slit bravely stuck upwards, and we expect "Ode to Joy."
The film's portrait of its small town is finely done. There is a fraught sequence when the faithless mom Tanya returns from California for a visit, and Greta lets her have it. There are indications that life is going to get more complicated here. But when a movie shows a couple of bright kids excited about a mussel, it's hard to say no.

There have been no whispers suggesting such a thing is on the way, but these things can move fast when they get started; the Need for Speed film seems to have rocketed into existence.

We've Tried Nothing And We're All Out Of Ideas
It's official this time. Hollywood really is out of ideas. Will Smith's kid is starring in a remake of the Karate Kid and now Ridley Scott is directing a movie based on Monopoly. Yes, we're talking about the board game.
Ridley Scott is officially attached to direct the Hasbro-Universal collaboration, with an eye toward giving it a futuristic sheen along the lines of his iconic "Blade Runner." Screenwriter Pamela Pettler ("Corpse Bride," "Monster House") will shape a narrative out of the iconic real estate game.
This has to be a joke. What story could come out of this board game that would be worth watching for two hours? Now if we're talking about The Revenge of Uno: Draw Two, I would be interested. Very interested. Apparently the Wild Card scene is amazing. Joe Penny takes over that scene and makes it his. We're talking borderline NC-17 material shot Zapruder-style. The England Dan and John Ford Coley soundtrack is the shit.
If Hollywood is going to start using board games for inspiration, why not go with Hungry Hungry Hippos? One could go with CGI hippos but why not use real people? Why not use hungry hungry humans like Zack Randolph and Eddy Curry? Add former NBA legends like Charles Barkley, John "Hot Plate" Williams and Oliver Miller and boom. NBA crossover potential. Make it futuristic like Blade Runner or The Running Man. A cross between the board game and Tron. Who cares? It doesn't matter what it's about as long as they're fighting over food for our entertainment.

Rebel groups unite to push Syrian Army out of Aleppo
Our reporters have been following a band of rebel fighters in Aleppo. The district of Salaheddine is symbolic for the rebellion, but today it lies in ruins. Fighting on the front line has continued, despite a ceasefire that was announced for the Muslim festival of Eid el Adha. As our correspondents found out, the rebels don't have the equipment to match President Bachar al Assad's army. Yet they're managing to hold their positions and even gain ground, piece by piece.

While Hanley struggles with the bureaucracy of post-disaster life, many others are receiving help from the Red Cross, which has opened 190 shelters along the Eastern Seaboard. The organization has hundreds of disaster workers on standby with emergency supplies.
'It's a humbling experience'
Katie Fairley, a Staten Islander who lives in New Dorp, one of the harder-hit areas, said she's seen people sleeping in their cars.
A 51-year-old vice president for finance at a health care facility, Fairley said lines for food and for gas are blocks long.
"Thank God, we have each other here," she said, insisting that Staten Islanders have been forgotten.
Another Staten Islander, Tara Saylor, spent her weekend volunteering to hand out clothing and food. The 25-year-old works at a Manhattan interior design showroom. She and her home on a hill in St. George escaped Sandy's wrath.
Helping people touched her deeply.
"I was almost crying when people are thanking me," she said. "(They were) throwing their family photos out in the middle of the street. It's a humbling experience. You really begin to appreciate what you have."
In the Long Island community of Floral Park, Kevin Cordova's family members tried cooking hot food to stay warm and wore their coats indoors. His house is uninhabitable, thanks to Sandy.
"There's really no amount of blankets that can stop you from being cold in 30-degree weather," the 28-year-old said. "We feel a little homeless right now. We have our house, but we can't really use it."
Teacher: 'I want them to tell their stories'
To the southwest in Red Bank, New Jersey, about a 90-minute drive from Floral Park, Chris Ippolito has been luckier than many folks. So far, he's only had to wrestle with sporadic power outages. But his mother-in-law's home was severely flooded.
Her historic house, more than 100 years old, sat a block from the ocean in Monmouth County.
Her family built it, and she spent her childhood there.
She left the house before Sandy hit, so she's physically all right. But she's devastated by the loss.
"It's incredibly difficult for her," Ippolito said.
Things are returning to some semblance of normalcy, he said.
CNN reached Ippolito shortly after he had delivered food and supplies to a local firehouse.
"Businesses are breathing back to life," he said. "Schools are limping back to life."
Ippolito is a high school teacher. His district is closed for now, but he's thinking about all his students.

He'll use his free time Tuesday to cast his vote for president.
"I understand that voting isn't the priority for a lot of people who are dealing with more immediate needs," he said. "But I'm not going to miss it."

Gulmarg Snow Safety Program
Gulmarg Avalanche Center is a non-profit organization providing daily bulletins and education in the Himalayas of Kashmir. Arc'teryx first became involved with Gulmarg following the 2010 ISSW meeting in Lake Tahoe attended by Brian Newman, avalanche forecaster and founding Director of the Gulmarg Snow Safety Program.
Gulmarg is a Himalayan resort located in Kashmir, India. Vast backcountry terrain is accessible from a gondola reaching 4000m. Large avalanche paths surround the ski area but the culture of India has limited knowledge of avalanche phenomena. Not a traditional recreation for the people and within view of the Pakistani border, the reasons for the spotty and slow development safety measures are both cultural and political. The danger however, remains real. In 2009, a single avalanche killed 17 soldiers at an Indian military base just outside the ski area boundaries.
Brian's presence and efforts have changed a skeptical outlook toward a push for education; "As western interest in Gulmarg grows, we work with the government (which owns the ski area) to develop the same standards of safety used by countries with a long history of winter recreation." Avalanche related deaths have dropped to zero in the recreation sector since 2008 and avalanche courses are offered in the Kashmiri language.
The long term goal of the Gulmarg Snow Safety Program is to create a self-sufficient ski patrol, with staff that is educated in first aid, evacuation skills and avalanche control. In 2010, Arc'teryx provided uniforms for the Gulmarg ski patrol. To earn these coats and the moniker professional ski patroller, Kashmiri candidates endured training and exams spanning 4 winters. Many of these pros have begun training in the sophisticated field of avalanche forecasting. "These men are the future leaders," says Brian. "I hope to see them one day as delegates representing India in the field of snow science."
Arc'teryx plans to continue with equipment contributions as continuity is an essential element to the success of the program. It is what keeps Brian Newman involved, that and the unique community of skiers, riders and local people who depend on the forecasts being broadcast for their safety. Good habits for safe travel are not only good practises, they are a gesture of goodwill toward others. Thanks to Brian Newman, the Gulmarg Snow Safety Program and the patrollers, the charmingly named curry powder awaits us all.

In the Media
On Web, a Fine Line on Free Speech Across the Globe By Somini Sengupta The New York Times September 16, 2012 Excerpt:
Free speech absolutists say all expression, no matter how despicable, should be allowed online. Others say Internet companies, like governments, should be flexible enough to exercise restraint under exceptional circumstances, especially when lives are at stake.
At any rate, as Mark L. Movsesian, a law professor at St. John's University, pointed out, any effort to ban hateful or offensive speech worldwide would be virtually impossible, if not counterproductive.
"The regimes are so different, it's very, very difficult to come up with one answer — unless you ban everything," he said.

New player? Don't want to sort through all these posts to catch up? Check out the summary:
You spawn in a white room that is completely empty aside for yourself, some blue thing floating beside you, and a flashing green button in the center of the room. The blue thing lets out a monotone, female voice. "Welcome, new player, to the game. I am your Player Management Operator and this is a pre-recorded message created to help you with the final preparations before begining the game. First, you must register the name by which you wish to be refenced in the game. Please tell me your name now."
So lets see how well this goes. Straight MSPA-esc comic. You all can control the character via commands (::command), just post the commands in here and I will take the first one I like. Name-wise, I won't accept anyone trying to name the player after themselves, this game is for everyone, not just you.

OMFG I fucked up the title! Fucking tablet I am posting on, expect typos. Can a mod fix that or do I need to make a new thread?

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Rsnapshot
The principle behind Rsnapshot is nothing new: use Rsync and SSH to back up files to another computer. What sets Rsnapshot apart is its simple setup and its rich collection of features.
Rsnapshot [1] gives admins a space-saving backup system. The Rsnapshot tool leaves long, configurable intervals between full backups and creates daily incremental backups on the target system; and this saves a lot of space compared to a full backup. The rotational logic that underlies the system makes heavy use of hardlinks. Under the hood, Rsnapshot uses SSH and Rsync. I decided to install the 89KB tarball on one of my lab systems, which happens to run Slackware 10, but DEB and RPM packages are available as downloads from [1] if you prefer. The following commands were all it took to install the Perl-based system: tar xvzpf U rsnapshot-1.1.6.tar.gz cd rsnapshot-1.1.6 ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc su make install

Original Trinity Hymnal, #614 We plough the fields, and scatter The good seed on the land, But it is fed and watered By God's almighty hand; He sends the snow in winter, The warmth to swell the grain, The breezes and the sunshine, And soft refreshing rain. All good gifts around us Are sent from heav'n above, Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord For all his love. He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star; The winds and waves obey him, By him the birds are fed; Much more to us, his children, He gives our daily bread. We thank thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seed time and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food: No gifts have we to offer For all thy love imparts, But that which thou desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.

Infernal Devastation
Devastator, eh? From...Florida. Hmm. How grim.
Nevermind the fact that your bass guitar sounds like flatulence or that you need to preface a song with at least four "YEEEARRRRRG"s. No, I'm willing to set all of that aside to give you a fair and objective review.
So here it is.
You're not good. Your style of thrashy black metal is hackneyed and laughable. You call your drums "hate hammers". You're not good. At all. Your vocals are poorly timed. Your production is piss poor and I'm thankful, as it helps me to tune out this disaster you call an album. You sound like you were recorded with one of those Home Alone Talkboy pens.
I don't get it, is this some sort of cult classic that's being re-released for some odd reason?
Shut up, Devastator. Stop playing for a minute. I'm trying to do something. Daddy's on the phone, Devastator. God dammit, Devastator, will you just sync up the drumming? Tune your instruments, Devastator.
Maybe if your production wasn't so bad, reviewing your album wouldn't be such a painful task.
You know what you remind me of?
Something that sucks.
Except for your last track, which sounds really painful in a great masochistic way that I might actually be able to get into. Play more music like that.
Devastator, take out the trash.
Recommended for fans of the bad, the worse, and the very ugly. And to those who generally appreciate the not-good.

The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and the Treasury jointly issued a final rule increasing parity between mental health/substance use disorder benefits and medical/surgical benefits in group and individual health plans.
The final rule implements the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, and ensures that health plan features like copays, deductibles and visits limits are generally not more restrictive for mental health/substance abuse disorders benefits than they are for medical/surgical benefits.Read more>>

On a recent camping trip to enjoy the Fall colors, my cousins and I were searching for games to play around the campfire when we stumbled upon a friend's old deck of Wilderness Survival Tips cards. I'm not sure if they were meant to be funny but they entertained us for hours. The tips and tricks were not so tricky, after all. Some were nearly sarcastic in their simplicity; others hyperbolic, catastrophic and generally gloomy. Charming!
Did you know, for instance, that necessary camping supplies include a space blanket, barometer, weather computer and avalanche pick? Otherwise, good luck to you. If your friends get lost, secure a six mile perimeter, and perform a grid search. Despite such efforts, the prognosis seems to be: "Outlook not good"! (So much for my mother's advice to "Stay put and wait!")
For all its outrageousness, some of the best advice was so obvious it was nearly insulting, albeit valid.
Duh. [Insert teenage annoyance and eye roll here.]
Slightly offended by the lack of complexity this "guide" had to offer, I credit it for its honesty. It made me think how we often overlook our own simple needs. Read more»

How to Budget for the ADDA Conference
After attending the ADDA conference in Detroit, I realized I need this every year. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." Once you decide to go to the ADDA Conference, everything gets easier. I was able to attend the Conference when friends who wanted to go stayed home. They couldn't decide if they were going. They wanted to go, but felt they couldn't commit if didn't know how it would all happen…
Could they get time off work? Could they afford it? Or could they find someone to share a room with? It was like they couldn't start their journey until they knew all the traffic lights were green between them and their destination!
Everything about attending the ADDA Conference became easier once the decision was made. Read more»
Recently an excellent article on ADHD in the IT industry appeared on TechRepublic.com.

Real funny, great execution. How fast do you draw up one of these characters?
Don't have any plans to do the game in 3D? or at least render it in 3D? Moving feathers could add some dynamic visuals. Also when punching you have feathers blowing off, instead of blood or you could have that too.
Keep it up.
