Heavy rain triggers floods in Odisha, thousands evacuated
Bhubaneswar, Oct 14 : Heavy rain brought by cyclone Phailin Sunday triggered floods in Odisha, forcing authorities to evacuate thousands of people after rain water entered their homes, officials said Monday.
Rescue and relief officials were sent to Mayurbhanj and Balasore districts where the flood water of the Budha Balanga and Baitarani rivers devastated homes, submerged thousands of acres of standing paddy crops, Surya Narayan Patro, Odisha's revenue and disaster management minister, told IANS.
Many other districts also face the fear of flooding as water level in other rivers were rising, he said.
Flood water entered into Baripada town, the district headquarters of Mayurbhanj Sunday and inundated hundreds of houses. Many houses were under five-six feet of water and the residents took shelter on the roof top.
"Almost half of the town is under water. 3,000 people have been evacuated" Mayurbhanj district collector Patil Rajesh Pravakar told IANS.
Large swathe of agricultural lands and houses located in the low laying areas were also submerged in Balasore district.
"We have dispatched rescue and relief team to the area," a senior official of the state revenue department said here.
One more death has been reported, taking number of deaths due to the pre-and-post cyclone devastation in the state to 21, he said.
The latest death took place in Balasore, he said. Two people were drown in the flood water, while one was rescued another died, he added.
The very severe tropical cyclone in the Bay of Bengal which made landfall Saturday night near Gopalpur in state's Ganjam district has left behind a trail of destruction in several coastal districts of Odisha.
The worst hit districts include Ganjam, Puri, khordha and Gajapati.
Although damage to properties were estimated at several crores of rupees, loss of human lives was minimal in comparison to the 1999 super cyclone, in which more than ten thousand people were killed.
The less causality this time was due to large scale evacuation before the disaster, officials said.
Nearly nine lakh people from the low laying areas of the coasts were evacuated and sheltered in safer places hours before the cyclone made landfall.
While some of them returned to their homes, large number of people were still in relief camps and cyclone shelters as their houses were damaged.
According to preliminary government estimate, more than two lakh houses have been damaged in the worst hit Ganjam district.

Shelton Theatre
509 Howe Avenue,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing all 11 comments
In the 1960's the owner of this theater changed the name to "Shelton Fine Arts Theatre". It had sunk to the point where it showed Adult Films. It had sunk that low. (It was not a chain)
As a theater, that was it's 'Last Hurrah'.
Does anyone knows what remains from the original theater inside the building today ?
A Kilgen theater organ opus 4144 size 2/3 was ordered for the Shelton Theater in 1928, but the order was cancelled; parts put back in stock.
This theater opened in 1915 and closed in the mid 70s. A picture is in Images of America: Shelton on page 119.
LM's photo of 8/11/05 has moved to this location:
Listed as the Shelton Theatre in the 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook with a seating capacity given as 550.
so i believe the Fine Arts was a small, regional chain? there was a westport fine arts 1 and 2 and the brookfield fine arts which closed down many years back. check the post i made from a few weeks ago about what we found.
If I have my information correct the Shelton at one time was known as the Fine Arts and played adult fare.

Sir Alex Ferguson accused Bayern Munich's players of deliberately trying to get Rafael sent off as Manchester United were knocked out of the Champions League on away goals last night.
The home side stormed into a 3-0 lead in front of an Old Trafford crowd buoyed by the news prior to kick-off that Wayne Rooney would start the game.
However, with just minutes to go before half-time Ivica Olic pulled a goal back for the visitors, before Arjen Robben scored the vital second away goal with a stunning volley 15 minutes from the end.
The turning point of the game came at the start of the second-half though when United were reduced to ten men after defender Rafael was shown a second yellow card for pulling back Franck Ribery.
After the game Ferguson was incensed at the reaction of the Bayern players who surrounded the referee.
"He is a young boy, and inexperienced, but they got him sent off. They all rushed towards the referee. You can't dispute that," he said.
The United manager admitted Robben's goal was worthy of winning the tie, but praised his sides performance.
"The key issues were the goal before half-time and then the boy getting sent off, but it's still taken an exceptional goal to win the tie," said Ferguson.
"I think we've done well. It was a great performance. We were very unlucky."
The result ends a disastrous week for United who have lost top spot in the Premier League and now been knocked out of the Champions League.
The fitness of Wayne Rooney also remains a concern for Ferguson - with the England striker withdrawn after an hour and visibly struggling with his injured ankle.
"I don't think it's serious," the United manager insisted though.
"It's just the tissue. I'm sure he'll be OK for the following week."
Watch Ferguson's post-match interview below:
There are going to be forty Grand National Runners this Saturday all lining up at Aintree and picking the Grand National winner is always a difficult thing to do.

18th hole par 4 385metres The home hole is a very demanding par 4 that doglegs to the
left. With a water hazard on the left hand side of the entire hole which must be
avoided. The fairway traps that can be seen are in fact on the right side of the
fairway. A good tee shot with a driver will leave a mid to short iron into a
well protected green on the right side and long. Any bunker shot at the green
will be going downhill and difficult to stop. |

Use bridge loan financing to get the most out of your real estate investments. This kind of investing has its perks and its downfalls. Here is a guide to basic real estate knowledge.
The opposite of location, location, location
You have probably heard the saying that the most important things in buying a property are location, location, and location. What is interesting about investing in property is that this is true, but not in the way that you might think. When you buy or rent a home or business you will really want to find good property in a good area. For your business you want to be in a busy place, like the side of a main street where people will easily find you. You want your home to be in a good neighborhood with good house and great weather.
When it comes to buying up real estate you actually will want the opposite of these things. You can make more return when you buy and rent out lesser locations. It can be harder to make back all of the money you spent on expensive places in amazing locales.
When you invest in property and buildings you usually need to use this kind of financing. A bridge loan is a short-term loan with fewer strings attached than a normal loan. It allows you make a quick buy where another kind of loan may not. You simply pay it back over the time that you make money from your investments. It is an easy way to buy quickly when you find a good deal, since you probably will not have the funds to use your own cash. Bridge loans allow you to invest in real estate in the first place, with someone else's capital.
Is the price right?
Only buy if the market is low and if you get a good deal on this investment. If you have a bad feeling about it, steer clear of it. But never base your bet on just feelings, either. Find out all you can about the property by looking at the history of it and request to see the tax papers of the real estate agent trying to sell it. That person will most likely be over exaggerating about the returns. So if you take the taxes they filed with the government last year and the price they offer as what you can make, you will probably make something in between that.
Using bridge loan financing and waiting for the right time to buy are two ways to make the most out of your real estate investment. Be patient and ride the market so that you can always buy low and sell high.

Late summer/early fall is by far my favorite time of the year to fish. The weather is starting to become more bearable, the fish are fatter, and bait is absolutely everywhere. During this transition in weather, there are a few key changes worth noting to help you land more fish.
With the incredibly hot summer we have had, the trout bite has been best at night around dock lights when the water is cooler and the fish are more active. Expect this trend to continue until we get temps consistently in the mid to low 80's. When this happens we will start to see more trout on the flats throughout the day feeding just like they were in the spring months.
Redfish are going to be the easiest target during this time of year. Unlike the less tolerant speckled trout, redfish have stayed and fed in shallow water throughout the heat of the summer. They will continue to do this in September and October, but expect to see more of them and in more areas of the bay. Whether it is around a bridge, on a flat mixed in with schools of mullet or around docks, you will be able to find redfish and sometimes find them so thick that every cast results in a strike.
As far as live bait goes, schools of menhaden (pogies) will still be a great bait, but what I start to really key in on are pilchards. Also known as scaled sardines, greenies, and whitebait, this bait tends to school on or near grass flats. Why I prefer this bait to pogies is because trout and reds are specifically targeting this baitfish on the flats. Just like with menhaden, the 3- to 5-inch pilchards work the best for freelining and the smaller ones work good under a popping cork or Carolina rigged. Typically, I like to freeline pilchards on the flats in the early morning for trout and then fish around docks for redfish once the temps begin to rise. And if you're looking to catch a gator trout this time of year, throw on a 5- to 8-inch croaker or mullet. It will look a little goofy and might take you longer to get a bite, but if you want to catch a gator trout, you have got to give them what they want. Nearly every big trout (over 5 pounds) that we caught last year had a pinfish or croaker in its gut that was five inches or bigger.
The main reason I prefer fall fishing is because the fish are vigorously feeding in expectation of a cold winter, which means artificial baits work great. Unlike the spring, when most baitfish are tiny, the baitfish in the fall are full grown, making a topwater lure a dynamite choice. I prefer either a Skitter Walk or Top Dog Jr. Other lures that work really well are soft plastic swim baits and twitch baits like the MirrOdine made by MirrOLure.
Capt. Blake Nelson has spent his entire life on the Panhandle fishing the back bays from Panama City to Pensacola. He is currently an inshore guide in Destin, Florida, targeting redfish, speckled trout, and flounder year-round. He also fishes in many redfish tournaments with his brother, Captain Wes, both locally and nationally.Contact Info: Capt. Blake NelsonLast Cast Charters(p) 850 499-3811(w) captainblake.com

Pawlenty plenty pawsNovember 7th 2009 5:47 pm[ View A Comments (1) ]
So this morning I was reading the mewspaper and one of the headlines in the Des Moines Register is "Pawlenty to address Iowa GOP tonight". So now they speak Catster in my local mewspaper. That's nice. I was eager to read about all the animals that will be addressing the Iowa GOP tonight. Imagine my disappointment when I found out Pawlenty is actually the name of the Governor of Minnesota. Oh, no animals addressing the GOP, just a hooman. All you cats in Minnesota, please forgive me, but I have never heard of the man before. I think I still might like him. His first name is Tim. My own name is derived from Timothy. And maybe he has plenty paws at home? Gotcha DaySeptember 7th 2009 7:04 pm[ View A Comments ]
Whoopsy I missed my Gotcha Day. It was yesterday Sept. 6. I came here 3 years ago and now I'm 6 years old. That means I have been living here half of my life. Wow, I remember it like it was yesterday when Meowmy came to the shelter and got me..... It's State Fair TimeAugust 17th 2009 7:58 pm[ View A Comments ]
Yesterday was such an exciting day. Alfie and I went to the State Fair. I had brought some food to the Pen Paws Cafe and some furs requested food that I didn't have. So I picked that up while we were at the fair. I got funnel cakes, watermelon, fried pickles on a stick and Scrappie wanted Alligator on a stick. We had to ask a doggie to sniff one out for us but we did find one. Oly wanted mouse sprinkles on her funnel cake. I sent Mietzi out to catch a mouse. You can see a pic on my page of her and me with the mouse. It's State Fair TimeAugust 17th 2009 7:19 am[ View A Comments (1) ]
Yey, it's State Fair Time in Iowa! Meowmy went Saturday with some friends and she brought food back for us. So I went to my Pen Paws group Sunday morning and shared the food with them. My friend Alfie from England walks in to the Pen Paws Cafe and had some chow. And then he suggested the two of us go to the fair together. We had some furs ask for fair food that my Meowmy didn't bring back, so we needed to get that. Well, Meowmy could only carry so much. Fresh Cat Scent PurrfumeJuly 25th 2009 7:25 am[ View A Comments ]
Meowmy has a shampoo for her furr that smells like coconut. Then she went and got a conditioner that smells like mint. And she has purrfume that smells like orange. You know, purrfume is that water that they spray on themselves. Now Meowmy smells like a fruit cocktail. Well, mint isn't really a fruit but you get the idea. It's so grayJuly 20th 2009 7:35 pm[ View A Comments ]
Whoops what's this? It's so gray here. It used to be green, now it's gray when you first come here. I like green (have you noticed). I like green trees and green forests and I like to eat green grass and I like cats with green eyes. I want my green back. Are the dogs gray too? I don't know. Need to run over and look. Owie MeowmyJuly 19th 2009 2:52 pm[ View A Comments ]
Meowmy opened a can of food for us for breakfast and the can attacked her! Yep, she showed us. She had a big gash in her hand and blood was running out. Meowmy screamed Ow! and ran to the bathroom to search for the biggest Band Aid in the house. Owie. When she came back I was up on the counter eating the food out of the can. Well, no use letting good food go to waste, right? And this was a new kind of food that she had caught for us. I really really really like it. It's too bad that the can bit Meowmy. I don't know if we'll get any more of this delicious new food if the cans keep hurting her. PlotJuly 18th 2009 8:07 pm[ View A Comments (1) ]
OMC. Did you see that on the catster home page? In the blogs there is an article about "Is your cat plotting to kill you?" There is a quiz that your hooman can take to find out. It's so funny. Warmer purrleaseJune 28th 2009 2:17 pm[ View A Comments (2) ]
Why oh why does the hooman think 76 degree is warm enough in the house? Doesn't she see that I am sleeping in the sun spot and Mietzi is cuddling up with a fleeze blanket? Doesn't she know that we are decendent from desert animals? It's summer. It should be nice and warm. But no, here we are shivering in 76 F. Meowmy, make it warmer purrlease! Turn the air on?June 21st 2009 7:54 pm[ View A Comments ]
The summer so far has been very rainy and colder than normal. Meowmy said she has been saving alot by not having to turn the air on. Not turning the air on? What does she mean? Is there no air? I know there is air here because I can breath just fine. |

BIOS Development for Phoenix Award BIOS
Download now Free registration required
Executive Summary
The company was consolidating and upgrading several older products from National Semiconductor-based platforms to a new Intel-based platform. They were looking for a cost effective BIOS solution that would give them their full feature requirements. The company lacked the internal resources required to complete all the BIOS update services and deliver a feature rich release to the market. The Calsoft Labs Engineering team was chosen due to its history of working on the Phoenix BIOS and the Award BIOS. The Calsoft Labs Engineering team successfully implemented the requested USB CD-ROM support, power management (ACPI) and Winbond thermal management features in the Award BIOS. Calsoft Labs's implementation was instrumental in enabling the company to achieve the release of a stable, high-quality solution.

As the undergraduate division of the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, our Bachelor of Science program offers students the opportunity to work with internationally recognized faculty. Our academically rigorous degree is grounded in the liberal arts, providing students with the critical thinking skills necessary to understand the sociological, political and cultural aspects of communication technologies and systems.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of program requirements, undergraduate majors in media, culture, and communication are expected to be able to:
1. Promote analytical and critical thinking skills
2. Know and understand the key concepts in the study of media, culture, and communication and have fluency in the core scholarly work in these fields
3. Undertake close readings of written, aural, audio and visual texts
4. Prioritize comparative media studies across time, forms, and cultures
5. Encourage global and cosmopolitan approaches and outlooks in the transnational study of media and culture
6. Develop pertinent research questions, formulate appropriate methodologies, evaluate and use suitable reference materials and primary and secondary sources
7. Encourage facility with project-based and fieldwork data collection, and a range of modes for the presentation of findings
8. Promote awareness and application of ethical issues related to media, culture, and communication
Fields of Study
Within the broad framework of communication, our undergraduates focus their coursework via specialized fields of study. This component of the curriculum provides both structure and flexibility to suit students' individual interests and goals. Students select 3 courses within 2 of the following fields:
- Global and Transcultural Communication
- Images and Screen Studies
- Interaction and Social Processes
- Persuasion and Politics
- Technology and Society
Practical Experience
On campus, there are academic and networking events; student-led organizations; a student newspaper, Washington Square News; an on-campus television station, NYU-TV; and a student radio station, WNYU, to name just a few of the resources available to students here at Washington Square. Beyond the classroom, students utilize the department's vast internship network to gain valuable work experience in New York City—the media capital of the world.
Global Programs
Today, students need an international perspective to compete successfully in today's global environment. We offer flexibility through an array of options for international study and travel. Our students typically spend a semester at one of the various NYU study abroad campuses. For those interested in experiencing two semesters abroad at two diverse sites, we have launched a Global Media Scholars Program. For students who want to study internationally, but who do not want to leave campus for a full semester, global options are available through intensive intersession and summer courses.

In the Grand Cru of Goldert, Alsace has its own "golden slope." If Burgundy's Côte d'Or is famous for extraordinary Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Goldert is famous for its Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Pinot Gris, though all four 'noble' varieties (and some Pinot Noir) are planted in Goldert.
Brief Summary of a Long History
Goldert has quite a history, as its reknown stretches back to the 8th Century. Fast-forward to the French Revolution, and its great repute continued: one apocryphal source of oral history holds that Goldert was one of Thomas Jefferson's favorite sources of wine (he had so many...). Goldert is located to the north of Gueberschwihr, its slopes facing east. Its location, which is about 15 minutes southwest of Colmar, is in the center of the extraordinary stretch of land that is the Haut-Rhin. The foundation of the vineyard is a limestone subsoil covered by a calcareous topsoil in which clay and sandstone are mingled.
Grape Varieties in Use in Goldert
It has long been particularly esteemed for its Gewürztraminer and Muscat, but Pinot Gris from Goldert can be as extraordinary as from any other great source. Riesling fares least well, but when conditions are right, Goldert Riesling can be up to Grand Cru quality.
Top Growers in Goldert
My experience with wines from this Grand Cru rest mostly with the wines of Ernest Burn (all four noble varieties), and the Gewürztraminer and Muscat from Zind-Humbrecht. The wines from Zind-Humbrecht have been consistently available to me, so I have had a better chance to follow their qualitative stature, and they do not fail to inspire. Zind-Humbrecht also pulled off that rarest of feats when they produced a Muscat Vendange Tardive from Goldert in 1995. Ernest Burn and Goldert are practically synonymous--Burn's Clos St.-Imer is one of the great Clos in Alsace, and the wines are astonishing. I have not had the opportunity to have them since the 2004 vintage, but if history is any indication, Burn is still the greatest exponent of this terroir. I have also found Maurice Schueller's Gewürztraminer and Muscat to be excellent, but I have not had the opportunity to follow them on a regular basis.

It looks like life at Visual Sciences remains busy. In response to a number of unsolicited queries about acquiring them, the company has retained Goldman, Sachs & Co to manage those queries, and evaluate their next steps. The company has stated that the reason for their retaining Goldman, Sachs & Co is to allow the company to remain focused on day to day operations, even while these opportunities can be explored.
With the announcement it looks like Visual Sciences is doing two things: (1) Reassuring customers that any rumors they may hear about such activity will not affect the support they get, and: (2) while there is nothing in the announcement that suggests that the company is trying to sell itself, they are letting the market know that they are open to such discussions.

In reference to the private religious schools, the
main obstacle to being able to fill the void is not
the quality of the instruction but the number and
size of the facilities. In an ideal world, there
would be several church schools in each community.
Vouchers may be a tool to bring this about.
My great grand daughter attends the North Hills
Preparatory school which is nationally ranked. Her
younger sister will be starting Kindergarten the
coming year. Lottery preference is given to siblings.
The North Hills school is a charter school and
admittance is based on a lottery system. Each parent
is expected to donate $500.00 per year. I think that
some fulfill this requirement by volunteering as
traffic police and other duties. I think that they
have a waiting list of about 2500. I drive about 33
miles a day to pick her up as both parents and grand
parents work.
I have another great grand daughter by another
grand child who has applied to a new Uplift school
in South Irving which is the same organization that
runs North Hills. So far, she had not won a place
in the lottery. It is a shame that a child has to
depend on a quality education on the luck of a
lottery draw.

Odette Arrow Bracelet
Seems like I've been spending way too much time dreaming over beautiful handmade goodies. First cardigans, now jewellery. Trust me, I'm really holding it all back. Of late, I've been looking at so much good stuff, Ilana Kohn's new SS12 range, Jennifer/Ermie's SS'12 sneak peeks. The Mexico Dress pictures that Jennifer's posted on instagram, they make me go dizzy! (In a good way!) I have both Ilana's scarf (extremely lucky ebay find), and Jennifer's Magic Marker shift dress.(Saved up like crazy and bought it last year when there was a big sale. A birthday treat for myself!)
There's just so much pretty-ness happening right now with everyone launching their respective AW/SS'12 range, my heart's exploding! I always spend so much time looking at handmade objects, I pass it off as inspiration. I know... I know.. In what way has beautiful bracelets, dresses and cardigans got to do with watercolour drawings of food?! Sigh! Oh well, It's the smartest excuse I can think of! Haha.
Poor Darren, he gets shown all these girly stuff every night! Oops! Oh and if you're wondering about the beautiful, delicate arrow bracelets shown above, I'm so excited to say I'm getting one for my birthday this year! (Yes, I turn 25 in April!) Darren, being as awesome as he already is, is getting me one of Odette's arrow bracelets! THANK YOU DARREN! He knows I've been wanting one since it first came out. Truth is, I never actually wear bracelets. I feel they kind of get in the way when I draw. But of late, I've been telling myself I need to dress up a little bit more. A while ago, I bought myself two little thread-style bracelets. One with a tiny fish dangling at the side. (To remind me of my love for fish and chips), the other one's pretty much just a thin friendship band with brass beads 'woven' in. Clean, simple, not over-the-top.
I really like how clean-cut this Odette bracelet is. It's subtle, delicate and unique all rolled into one. I can't wait to receive it in the mail. I'm sure I'll feel special and a little more girly whenever I wear it! Oh and might I point out, Jennifer, the lady behind Odette, also has a beautiful blog. It's on my daily reading list, along with Jennifer/Ermie, Ilana Kohn and Jenny/Wiksten's inspiring blogs!
nice things

Location: 118 N Water St, Lancaster, PA
Landis Communities and a Pittsburgh developer will convert a city warehouse into 36 loft apartments for active adults age 55 and up.
The project, announced today, will redevelop the former Radel & Stauffer building at 118 N. Water St., on the corner of West Marion Street.
Costing more than $8 million, Steeple View Lofts is set to open in spring 2013.
Landis Communities is the umbrella organization that operates Landis Homes Retirement Community on East Oregon Road.
Its partner is Zamagias Properties, which will buy and renovate the historic building, then lease the apartments to Landis Communities. Landis Communities, in turn, will re-lease the apartments at about $1,000 to $1,500 per month apiece, plus electric. "This will be a great living option for active adults who enjoy a great walkable city," said Larry Zook, president and chief executive officer of Landis Communities.
The city Urban Redevelopment Authority board Thursday approved $900,000 in financing for a 34-unit apartment building on Harrison Street in Lawrenceville.
The Locomotive Lofts will be developed from a renovation and expansion of a four-story vacant building that was a nursing home until 10 years ago. Previously, it was a property of HK Porter, a company that made compressed air locomotives.
Locomotive Development proposes doubling the size of the 20,000-square-foot building into one- and two-bedroom apartments to rent at a market rate of $1,115 and $1,860.

THE Huka Retreats has announced the re-launch of Dolphin Island, Fiji.
This stunning 13-acre private retreat now re-joins sister properties Huka Lodge,
New Zealand and Grande Provence Estate, South Africa following an extensive
period of renovation and refurbishment. The property now boasts a magnificent
new presence and offers a maximum of just eight guests the ultimate private
Pacific island experience, on an exclusive-use basis. Located just 20 minutes by boat from shore, on the tip of Viti Levu, Dolphin
Island nestles like a precious jewel, surrounded by crystal-clear waters. Guests
arrive by the island's own private boat and are immediately enveloped by the
beauty and luxurious accommodation that awaits. The main bure, with its fabulous traditional palm-thatched roof and
architecturally detailed elevation holds centre court, with a pair of equally
picturesque guest bure suites sitting to each side in perfect harmony. This
group of buildings are at one with the landscape and every aspect of their
design ensures perfect enjoyment of the island's nurturing and lush natural
landscape. The main bure is the hub of rest, relaxation and fun with a series of
poolside areas perfectly designated for time spent lying on day beds (either pre
or post a dip in the infinity pool), or for alfresco dining. Casual groups of plantation-style chairs, and soft feather-filled sofas
beckon, as one day draws seamlessly into the next. As the last rays of the sun
catch on the tips of the palm trees and sink into the ocean, the open veranda,
with its banks of bi-fold doors offers the perfect venue for a tropical cocktail
or a glass or two of chilled wine. Dolphin Island guest bure suites are perfect for a tropical lifestyle
featuring heart timber floors, plaster walls, stone tiles, wooden shutters, high
ceilings and the latest in air conditioned comfort. The dressing rooms are large
and generous and these are further complemented by well-appointed bathrooms,
twin hand basins, shower, sculptural free-standing bath and outdoor shower,
within a private garden courtyard. Fine, pure cotton bed linen and soft feather
pillows are perfectly suited to the climate, and The Huka Retreats famed
attention to detail is strongly evident within this haven of relaxation and
romance. For total romance, guests can take an easy stroll to the top of the island
where the hilltop sleep-out bure awaits. This utterly divine, thatched open-air
bedroom, is both rustic and refined - perfect for a tryst or for an overnight
stay! Renowned interior designer Virginia Fisher has ensured Dolphin Island offers
an extraordinary guest experience. Ambience is in great abundance as Virginia's
sense of place emerges strongly, as she references colours, textures and
patterns from the Pacific - boldly and with her absolutely innate sense of
style. Every level of guest comfort has been considered from thirsty beach
towels to perfumed candles - and the total effect is utter magic. Island manager Dawn Simpson and her team continue to provide the warm style
of hospitality that Fijian people are so well known for. They will look after
guests as little or as much as they desire, while always providing attentive and
solicitous service for all Dolphin Island visitors. Meals are delicious and feature fresh produce, with many flavours and
ingredients unique to Fijian cuisine. Freshly caught fish is brought to the
island daily so guests can select their preference from the catch and it will be
beautifully prepared and served to them within hours. Tropical fruit abounds -
papayas, mangoes, bananas, pineapples etc and the fragrance of perfumed flowers
is carried on the air. With 13-acres of their own private island as a playground guests often do not
feel the need to ever leave, however should they choose to - a wonderful variety
of activities are available. Aquatic adventures abound, with warm, clear waters
and coral reefs providing the perfect habitat for amazing marine life. Guests
can snorkel, tank dive, swim and fish with carefully selected operators whose
local knowledge is invaluable. Cultural visits to nearby villages and areas of
historical interest can be arranged, as can pampering massages and facials. The Huka Retreats comprise three stunning properties: Huka Lodge, New
Zealand, Dolphin Island, Fiji and Grande Provence Estate, South Africa. All
sharing unrivalled locations and a commitment to providing an extraordinary
hospitality experience to guests. The Huka Retreats are the vision and passion
of their owner, entrepreneur Alex van Heeren.
WHERE are you going on holiday this year? If the
answer is nowhere because everywhere is too expensive, can't find flights, car
hire, food etc etc etc. then why not consider a holiday in the UK.
With such
wonderful places to visit right on your doorstep, then why not say goodbye to
bad plane food and crowded beaches, and say hello the beautiful areas of Cornwall, Devon and the Cotswolds. Up until last year, we were always overseas holiday
makers - but then with budget pretty tight, we decided to try a UK holiday to
see what was on offer. This turned out to be an excellent decision and we were
not disappointed with the wonderful countryside, golden beaches and great
attractions for the kids on offer in the UK. A firm favourite of ours was Devon, with
beautiful sandy beaches, plenty of fun activities for the children, lovely long
walks, fabulous pubs to visit for lunch and dinner and we actually had brilliant
weather. Devon offers such lovely places such as Croyde Bay, Woolacombe,
Ilfracombe and with fabulous properties to rent from apartments for 2 up to
family properties housing 12+ like this beautiful beach
house in Ilfracombe. Cornwall is another place that holds a mountain of hidden
treasurers that the family would love to experience. Whether you are looking
for a family friendly event, high energy music festivals or any variety of
country shows, Cornwall has all this on offer. With areas like Truro, Falmouth,
St. Austell and St. Ives it is easy to find the ideal beach to picnic on, or
better still rent a property on the beach where you can watch the sun rise and
go down at the beginning and end of each day. For example this beautiful beach
property which offers tastefully furnished accommodation and sleeps up to 4
people, with 1 double bedroom and a lounge that contains a double bed settee.
There is a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and lounge/dining area, making it an
ideal self-catered property. For further details on this property please

ALI Torkington, founder of The Glam Camping Company, has some useful tips for keeping all the kids happy on a summer holiday.
Her children range in age from 10 to 14, and she says that one of the keys to a successful camping trip is to keep the campfire going regardless of the weather.
"We often go away with friends, which means that the age range can span from 6-16 which is quite a difficult mix to keep happy," she says. "However, they all love the fire, and they all get into cooking things on it. I have some simple recipes such as damper bread that can be made easily on the fire, and everyone can get involved."
"The bonus of the fire is that it keeps things cheerful when the weather is less than perfect. Most campsites will allow you to have a real fire if you have it in a firepit on legs, so that the grass doesn't burn."
Another must-have is a large bell tent that allows youngsters to congregate.
"Our extended family likes to gather in the bell tent as it's airy and spacious. I put lots of cushions and sheepskin rugs on the floor so that the whole area is comfortable for lounging on," explains Ali.
Other happy family camping essentials are:
Games. Simple ones such as rounders and cricket where everyone can have a hit at the ball and run around after it.
*Bikes - kids of all ages like to ride around the campsite, and are happy to pedal to the shop to get a pint of milk or some bread when the cool box runs short.
*Surf boards or boogie boards, - an essential item for a coastal camp.
*A dog - always good value - everybody always loves the dog, even when they don't love each other!
*Rugs and throws - warm people are happy people, so make sure there's always plenty of kit for people to snuggle into.
*Marshmallows for toasting on the fire - the perfect mood enhancer.

Went 19 miles all over town, took my shirt off, tied it around the handlebars and got some sun. Just rode around in my shorts and Vibrams. Some saddle soreness, not too bad, feeling pretty good after that.
Went thru my 750 ml water bottle, definitely need to buy another bottle and mount a 2nd one, or learn where I can get free filtered water.
Think I want to build one of those banana holsters that Gino came up with now http://www.30bananasaday.com/photo/banana-holster-for-the-bike.
Spent a few days looking for a cheap bike I could afford, couldn't find a road bike so I settled for the one below for $280 from Sports Authority, at the peak of summer here and wanted to get out. Probably going to trade it in some day soon, or clean it up like new and try to return it before the 30 days is up. Probably going to ride to some of the bike shops that are far away.
And don't buy from sports authority or any big name store if you can avoid it. Thing had a flat front tire when I bought it, said they would fix it, I went in the next day and picked it up, in a few hours I saw it was low again, he just filled it up was all the tech did. I called them and asked if they would do anything, said the tech would be in tomorrow afternoon, so I asked if they would give me a free tube, he said they needed to inspect it blah blah blah, even tho on the receipt it was documented that it had an inner tube problem, I asked for a free tire repair kit or some slime, still said no, so I called him a useless drone and hung up. Patched it with some rubber cement and some rubber I had.

Many of our Kamps have at least one day during each term designated as "Man/Girl" day. This day may have different activities, but at the heart of the day is the opportunity for boys to just be boys and girls to just be girls. From painting their faces for war and going through an entire day of competition for the boys to painting their nails and putting on pageants for the girls these days are a blast to be at Kamp for because kids love them!
Typically, these days are more relaxed too. Kids get to sleep in a little, they get extra freetime, and the day is often ended with a message from a men's or women's director about the importance of being a man/woman of God. Yesterday was man/girl day at K-Seven and K-West and I had so much fun getting to be a part of it all. The days events consisted of teepee competitions and eating with your hands for the boys and tons of fun stuff for the girls including a counselor pageant where the girls were in charge of hair, makeup, wardrobe and talent.
It's good to be a man and a girl here at Kanakuk!
