Even before he was charged in the slaying of a young barista, Israel Keyes bluntly told authorities in Alaska he would talk about other victims, but only on his terms.
Among the demands issued by the confessed serial killer: He wanted an execution date, not to languish in a maximum security federal prison. During an April 6, 2012, interview, Keyes made his wish known after federal prosecutor Kevin Feldis asked him to specify what his demands were.
"Tell me what you want," the prosecutor said. "I don't know what you want."
Keyes said he wanted everything wrapped up one year from that date.
"If I went to trial on these and got convicted, no jury in the U.S. would not vote for the death penalty for me," Keyes said. "I already know that."
His driving motivation for his execution appeared to be protecting his daughter.
"I'll tell you about everything, I'll plead guilty to whatever, I'll give you every single gory detail you want, but that's what I want, because I want my kid to have a chance to grow up," he said.
"She's in a safe place now, she's not going to see any of this. I want her to have a chance to grow up and not have all this hanging over her head," he said.
Audio tapes of 13 interviews involving the FBI, prosecutors and Anchorage police were released this week after the Alaska Dispatch, an online news organization, asked the court to unseal them. The interviews were conducted between April 2, 2012, and late July.
In the end, Keyes didn't tell prosecutors everything.
Keyes, 34, committed suicide in his jail cell in December as he awaited a federal trial in the death of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig, who was abducted February 2012 from the Anchorage coffee stand where she worked. Alaska prisons officials say Keyes was a segregated inmate who had been mistakenly issued a razor before he slit his left wrist and tied a noose around his neck and right foot.
Keyes confessed to killing Koenig and at least seven others, including Bill and Lorraine Currier of Essex, Vt., and investigators believe there could be more victims.
Koenig and the Curriers were the only victims named by Keyes, leaving investigators with multiple unsolved cases.
FBI spokesman Eric Gonzalez said Tuesday investigators are still actively pursuing leads on possible victims, but there have been no major breakthroughs.
Investigators concluded Koenig was raped and strangled. Her body was left in a shed outside Keyes' Anchorage home for two weeks while he went on a cruise.
The kidnapping gripped the city as investigators held out hope that she remained alive. Unknown until later, Keyes texted messages from Koenig's cellphone.
Keyes was arrested in Lufkin, Texas, about six weeks after Koenig's disappearance. He had sought a ransom and used Koenig's debit card, and initially was charged only with access device fraud.
Three weeks after the arrest, Koenig's dismembered body was found in a frozen lake north of Anchorage.
Keyes was later charged with kidnapping resulting in death. By then, he had already told authorities about his execution wish.
In late May, Keyes attempted to escape from the federal courthouse after breaking out of his leg irons. He was quickly subdued with a stun gun in the federal courtroom.
The following day, investigators told Keyes the stunt did not go over well with authorities, including prosecutors.
"Why? Did they actually think I would get away?" he said, laughing. "That would be embarrassing for them, I guess."
After that, enhanced security measures were used on Keyes, including full restraints, a two-officer escort any time he was out of the cell, and restrictions on possession of razors and pencils.
He also was subjected to daily strip searches and cell searches.
In September, Keyes was found guilty of possessing an object which had been modified as a handcuff key.
A disciplinary board found him guilty, and he had to serve 60 days - with 45 days suspended - in punitive segregation.
That sentence began days before his suicide. At the time of his death, his access to personal property was restricted.
Keyes was in state custody in Anchorage because there are no federal prisons in Alaska.
The state of Alaska has no death penalty, but Keyes could have faced that outcome under federal law.

World News - Australia cleric in convicts jibe
Australia's top Muslim cleric at the centre of a storm last year over his comments about immodestly dressed women has sparked a new furore. Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali said Muslim Australians had more right to live in the country than white Australians whose descendents arrived as convicts. His comments, made to local television as he visited Egypt, were laughed off by Prime Minister John Howard. But some ministers suggested the Sheikh should leave the country. Sheikh Hilali, the Sydney-based Mufti of Australia, said on Egyptian TV that Muslims were more entitled to be in Australia than those with a convict ancestry. "The Anglo-Saxons arrived in Australia in shackles," he said. "We (Muslims) came as free people. We bought our own tickets. We are entitled to Australia more than they are"....

Report: Urban Populations Exploding Experts Say By 2008, Majority Of People Around The World Will Live In Cities
For the first time in human history, the world's population is about to become mostly urban. Citing population growth rates and migration patterns, United Nations researchers and other experts predict that some time in 2008 more people will live in cities than in rural areas. This demographic shift is mostly taking place in Africa and Asia, largely in low-income settlements in developing countries - much of it in the 22 "megacities" whose populations will exceed 10 million and in some cases grow to more than 20 million by 2015. The environmental, economic, and social ramifications of such trends are enormous, according to the Worldwatch Institute's annual "State of the World" report released Tuesday. Among the major challenges are the mundane features of daily living: clean water and air, sanitary waste facilities, the cost of food, and the availability of shelter and transportation....

'No timetable' for Iraq progress
The US defence secretary has said there is no timetable for Iraq to prove it has fulfilled commitments required by the US in President Bush's new plan. But Robert Gates said the US would have a "good idea" of the Iraqi government's success before many new troops went in. He also told a Senate hearing there should be no announcement of a troop pullout as, in his words, the enemy would then just wait the time out. The hearing comes as criticism grows of Mr Bush's move to boost troops in Iraq. Mr Bush plans to send at least 20,000 more troops, saying it will help bring security to Baghdad's streets. But Democrats and some Republicans have spoken out strongly against the move. Mr Bush and his top officials have been working to convince sceptical lawmakers of the merits of the new strategy. ...

Pakistan says it's not a terrorist haven; asks U.S. for intelligence on al-Qaeda
Pakistan on Friday rejected allegations by America's spy chief that it is a refuge for terrorist leaders and demanded that his intelligence networks share information on the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and other top al-Qaeda figures.The statements Thursday by U.S. National Intelligence Director John Negroponte that Pakistan is a haven for al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists are "incorrect," Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said."In breaking the back of al-Qaeda, Pakistan has done more than any other country in the world," ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said. "The proper way to do this would be to share the intelligence with us."Negroponte said that despite Pakistan's vital role in the war on terrorism, leaders of both al-Qaeda and Afghanistan's former ruling Taliban militia are sheltering in its lawless frontier areas, largely beyond reach of U.S. or Pakistani fighters....

Six killed in Somali presidential palace clash
Fears mounted today that the Somali capital was reverting to lawlessness after several people were killed in a clash outside the presidential palace in the capital, Mogadishu. Troops loyal to one clan leader fired a rocket-propelled grenade and exchanged gunfire with militiamen loyal to the president, Abdullahi Yusuf, who belongs to a rival clan. The fighting, which one fighter said was sparked by a dispute over where to park an armoured car, left at least six people dead and 10 wounded. The violence occurred as Mr Yusuf was holding peace talks with clan leaders inside the palace. A government official said the warlords had agreed to disarm and disband their militias and join a new national army. "The warlords and the government have agreed to collaborate for the restoration of peace in Somalia," said Abdirahman Dinari, a government spokesman....

China facing major gender imbalance
China will have 30 million more men of marriageable age than women in less than 15 years as a gender imbalance resulting in part from the country's tough one-child policy becomes more pronounced, state media reported Friday. Traditional preferences for sons has led to the widespread but illegal practice of women aborting babies if an early term sonogram shows it is a girl. The tens of millions of men who will not be able to find a wife could also lead to social instability problems, the China Daily said in a front-page report. China imposed strict population controls in the 1970s to limit growth of its huge population, but one side effect has been a jump in gender selection of babies. "Discrimination against the female sex remains the primary cause of China's growing gender imbalance," Liu Bohong, vice director of the women studies institute under the All-China Women's Federation, was quoted as saying in a report from the State Population and Family Planning Commission....

"This finely spun and illuminating history of Amsterdam explores both a city and an idea. . . . A pleasure to savor on many levels."
—The Seattle Times
"Rich and eventful. . . . [A] book that easily fuses large cultural trends with intimately personal stories."
—The New York Times
"An absorbing history of a fascinating place."
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"[A] masterpiece."
—The Daily Beast
"Engaging new history. . . . It brims with the sights, smells and sounds of a nearly thousand-year-old bustling, mercantile city. . . . Countless books have been written about Holland's capital city. . . . [Shorto's] contribution stands as a sparkling addition to the lot."
—Associated Press
"Shorto's brilliant follow-up to his previous book on Dutch Manhattan (The Island at the Center of the World) is an expertly told history of a city of new, shocking freedoms and the tough-minded people that developed them."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Insightful history. . . . Mr. Shorto masterfully describes how Amsterdam was built in only a few generations by reclaiming water from the sea, literally by hand in the 1600s. And he brings to life how the city attracted—with promises of freedom and tolerance—the most energetic people from all over Europe to create a free civic and economic society that became a model for the American Republic a century later."
—Jeff Bewkes, CEO of Time Warner, The Wall Street Journal, Favorite Books of 2013
"Entertaining history."
—The New Yorker
"Delightfully eccentric history. . . . Eye-opening and entertaining, it's popular history of the best sort."
—Michael Giltz, Favorite Books of the Year, Huffington Post
"Sometimes it's clear from the off that a book is special, and that indefinable sense took hold quickly here. . . . An enthralling tale of radicalism and tolerance of strange and otherwise anathema beliefs and ideas."
—Alex Crowley, Best Books of the Year, Publishers Weekly
"Masterful reporting, vivid history—the past and present are equally alive in this book."
—James Gleick, author of The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood
"Shorto is an excellent storyteller and rootler of strange facts, and Amsterdam should be issued as standard kit for anyone visiting the city."
—The Guardian (UK)
"Russell Shorto writes engagingly about how a city can engender ideas—order, tolerance, comfort, egalitarianism, entrepreneurship—and in turn be shaped by them. Amsterdam argues convincingly that Western liberalism has been greatly influenced by this small, modest, crazy-yet-conventional place."
—Witold Rybczynski, author of How Architecture Works: A Humanist's Toolkit
"An often brilliant, and always enjoyable, investigation of liberalism's Dutch roots. Shorto is once again revealed as a passionate and persuasive historian of culture and ideas."
—Joseph O'Neill, author of Netherland
"Russell Shorto loves Amsterdam, I love this book."
—Job Cohen, former mayor of Amsterdam
"Luminous. . . . An entertaining history full of deftly drawn characters and intoxicating ideas which have made Amsterdam the birthplace of liberalism in its many and shifting incarnations."
—Katrina vanden Heuvel, Editor & Publisher, The Nation
"[A] smart, elegant book. . . . A wonderfully readable account of the city that Shorto has come to call home."
—Charles C. Mann, author of 1491 and 1493
"Vigorous, erudite and eminently readable."
—Kirkus Reviews

In the midst of this Feast, O Savior, give Thou my thirsty soul to drink of the waters of true worship; for Thou didst call out to all, saying: Whosoever is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Wherefore, O Christ our God, Fountain of life, glory to Thee.

An Ohio woman who called 911 to report that her husband committed suicide by suffocating himself has been charged with his 2011 murder.
A three-year investigation into the death of 55-year-old Michael Gabel concluded that he didn't commit suicide and that his wife, Jeane Harrington, had killed him, police said. She had reported Gabel's death to police, saying she found him dead with plastic wrap around his head.
"We know that suicide in this manner is very unusual," Duane Streator, police chief of Avon Lake, told reporters Friday.
Streator said there was no immediate evidence of a struggle, but the Lorain County coroner ultimately determined Gabel died of asphyxiation, blows to his head and body, and electrical burns.
Harrington, 56, was arrested Thursday, and her son — 11 when Gabel died — was turned over to a relative.
In the 911 call, Harrington had reported that Gabel, a local car salesman, left a suicide note, and she described heavy debts coming due, suggesting he'd taken his own life.
Harrington told police she owned a stun gun and had used it several times on Gabel in a fight earlier that evening that she described as "mutual." She said the disagreement centered on the couple's financial woes.
"He got a letter from the Internal Revenue Service the other day wanting $17,000," Harrington said during the call. "And then the following day he got a letter from some collection company wanting $16,000. And tomorrow they're supposed to sell our home at sheriff's auction."
Harrington said she last saw her husband alive at 2 a.m. on Aug. 16, 2011, when he walked from the den to the bathroom. She found his cold body on a sofa later that morning after she returned from errands, she said.
Authorities now believe she stunned Gabel multiple times before suffocating him with industrial-strength, restaurant-grade plastic wrap.
It wasn't immediately clear who is currently representing Harrington. A message was left for a lawyer who represented her in 2005 during divorce proceedings, which ended in reconciliation, and with another lawyer who represented her in a 2007 foreclosure case.
Divorce filings indicated Harrington's pay at the Avon Public Library gift shop had been halved and that Gabel had used money from a 401(k) account and from mortgaging the couple's rental property to pay gambling debts.
Streator said police had been called to the couple's address before on domestic issues.

Success Stories
/ Emergency Watershed Protection in New Jersey
Loading Tree...
While the Natural Resources Conservation Service prepares to fund recovery projects following Superstorm Sandy, the last of the work addressing damages from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011 has been completed. The Borough of Milford removed a failed dam with assistance from FEMA and restored over 600 feet of Quequacommissicong Creek with funding from the NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection Program.
NRCS contributed $1.4 million to recovery projects in Bergen, Hunterdon, Sussex and Warren counties. Funds were used to clear sediment and debris from 2 miles of streams, stabilize 2500 feet of streambank and, in Liberty Township Warren County, stabilize a landslide area that destroyed two homes. Property values protected are estimated at $13.5 million.
Sponsors receiving assistance included the Village of Ridgewood and Oakland Borough in Bergen County, Liberty Township Warren County, the Wallkill Watershed Association through the Sussex County Municipal Utility Authority, and Milford and Frenchtown boroughs in Hunterdon County.
The Borough of Milford was successful in restoring damage created by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Funding from the NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection Program was used to stabilize 600 feet of Quequacommissicong Creek between the York Road bridge and Stone's Dam. FEMA funded the removal of Stone's Dam, remnants of water works from the turn of the century.
Flooding from Irene undermined the dam. Flow under the dam began eroding the sediment that had been trapped by the dam for years. Then Tropical Storm Lee hit and eroded the streambed to the point that the concrete structure failed and fell into the void. The streambed erosion quickly progressed upstream. The streambanks along the Borough Park became dangerously steep and unstable. Soon, a sewer line crossing was exposed, and the abutments supporting the York Road Bridge were in jeopardy. If left unattended serious damage to infrastructure could occur in the next storm event. Potential disruption of transportation and sewer services are costly to a community and a threat to water resources.
FEMA was willing to fund the removal of the failed concrete dam which had become a major obstruction to flow in the stream. NRCS was willing to fund the stabilization of the streambed and banks to protect the sewer line and the bridge foundation. The US Fish & Wildlife Service is donating hundreds of tree seedlings to establish a riparian corridor along the banks. The Borough of Milford secured the engineering services and permits, administered the construction contracts, and contributed 25% of the construction costs.

Ah, yes. The illusive and elusive Osama bin Forgotten. I said from day one that that story stunk to high heaven. It seems I've been vindicated in a way.
The inimitable Paul Joseph Watson does it again. His most recent dispatch explains.
The deluge of Stratfor.com emails released a result of the recent Wikileaks data dump includes a brief note from Stratfor's vice president for intelligence Fred Burton in which he urges the U.S. government to show photos of Osama Bin Laden's corpse in order to silence "lunatics like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck" who had questioned the government's official narrative behind the death of the terror mastermind.
The email was sent from Fred Burton's account on the afternoon of May 2, 2011 – one day after President Obama announced that Bin Laden had been killed in a raid in Pakistan and his body had been "buried at sea".
First Burton bemoans the fact that US authorities apparently dumped Bin Laden's body in the sea, fearing a Muslim backlash.
"Although I don't really give a rats ass, it seems to me that by dropping the corpse in the ocean, the body will come back to haunt us….gotta be violating some sort of obscure heathen religious rule that will inflame islam? I was sleeping thru that class at Langley," he wrote.
Burton then urges the U.S. government to release photos of the body to silence critics who questioned whether the story about Bin Laden being "buried at sea" was a fabrication, or whether Bin Laden had been killed at all.
"The US Govt needs to make body pics available like the MX's do, with OBL's pants pulled down, to shout down the lunatics like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck," wrote Burton.
Ironically, emails sent by Burton and his staff before the email referring to Jones and Beck revealed that Bin Laden's body had in fact not been buried at sea but was actually "bound for Dover, DE on CIA plane."
"Reportedly, we took the body with us. Thank goodness," said Stratfor CEO George Friedman in an email that was sent at 5:26am.
Burton sent another email at 6:26am in which he expressed "doubt" that Bin laden's body was dumped at sea.
The Stratfor email dump revealed the fact that while the group fronts as an intelligence analysis outfit, Stratfor is little more than a contractor for large corporations and U.S. government agencies, including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Homeland Security and the DIA.
Little wonder therefore that some of the leaked emails show the organization's head honchos wringing their hands not only over Julian Assange, but also conservative media pundits who have proven to be a thorn in the side of the Obama administration like Jones and Beck.
Fred Burton himself has close ties to the U.S. government, having worked as a special agent with the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service. He was also involved in the arrest of Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.
And if you want to feel the sting of reverse-engineered American exceptionalism, dig this.

New Special Premieres Tuesday, September 10 at 10 pm ET on H2
Highlight in Lineup of Acclaimed 9/11-Themed Programming part of
A+E Networks Continued Collaboration with the National September 11 Memorial & Museum
New York, September 6th, 2013 - Doing its part to ensure that this and future generations never forget the tragic events of September 11, 2001, HISTORY and H2 will commemorate the day with a line-up of new and encore programming, airing on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 10 and 11.
Highlighting the lineup is the premiere of 9/11: RELICS FROM THE WRECKAGE, a 30-minute special airing commercial free on H2 at 10PM ET on Tuesday, September 10. HISTORY will encore the Emmy(R) Award-winning 102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED AMERICA at 9PM ET on Wednesday, September 11, also presented commercial free.
9/11: RELICS FROM THE WRECKAGE originated as short-form content created by HISTORY's digital programming team. Re-crafted into a 30-minute television program, the Emmy-nominated short form showcases five objects being placed in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. How do you honor the memory and legacy of more than 3,000 lives lost to the terror attacks? That was the challenge facing the creators of the museum. They must commemorate the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and children who never came home that day in 2001, while preparing to educate generations of visitors who weren't yet born when the attacks took place. Museum President Joe Daniels introduces viewers to the museum still under construction and to the artifacts they have chosen to tell the story of 9/11. The special is the latest product from a long-standing relationship between A+E Networks and the museum. In addition, History.com features a full slate of September 11th-related content including dozens of videos, a video interactive of September 11th eyewitness accounts from various locations around Manhattan and an infographic detailing the rebuilding of 1 World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial. Visit History.com/911 to find out more.
102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED AMERICA chronicles the events as they unfolded in New York City on September 11. Some witnesses were frozen with shock, some helped others, many ran as fast as they could from the growing disaster. And then there were those who grabbed their video cameras. 102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED AMERICA uses amateur and professional footage, woven together without narration or commentary, to faithfully record that historic morning and to provide an immersive and unforgettably emotional experience.
While 9/11 is forever seared in the minds of adult viewers, many students have no memory of the attacks and the horrific losses that followed. A+E Networks is sharing educational resources with schools and the public, helping teachers and parents who may be introducing 9/11 to young people for the first time. These outreach materials include: email newsletters to teachers with curriculum guides and resources for 102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED AMERICA and 9/11: RELICS FROM THE WRECKAGE; resource guides for schools and communities about organizing 9/11 commemorative events; and links to FAQ's developed by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, giving teachers and students resources for understanding 9/11 and its aftermath. HISTORY will also air MAKING THE 9/11 MEMORIAL during its commercial-free Classroom programming time slot on Monday, September 9 at 6am. MAKING THE 9/11 MEMORIAL is a behind-the-scenes exploration of the construction of the Memorial from the worldwide design competition through its installation. .
Other 9/11 television programming includes encores of: 9/11 STATE OF EMERGENCY (8 pm Tuesday on H2); GROUNDED ON 9/11 (10:30 pm Tuesday on H2); THE MAN WHO PREDICTED 9/11 (8 pm Wednesday on HISTORY); and THE MIRACLE OF STAIRWAY B (11 pm Wednesday on HISTORY).
HISTORY(R), now reaching more than 98 million homes, is the leading destination for award-winning original series and specials that connect viewers with history in an informative, immersive and entertaining manner across all platforms. The network's all-original programming slate, including scripted event programming, features a roster of hit series including American Pickers(R), American Restoration(TM), Ax Men(TM), Counting Cars(TM), Ice Road Truckers(R), Pawn Stars(R), Swamp People(R) and Top Shot(R) as well as HISTORY(R)'s first scripted series Vikings, and epic miniseries and special programming such as The Bible and the Emmy(R) Award-winning Hatfields & McCoys, Gettysburg, Vietnam in HD, America The Story of Us(R) and 102 Minutes That Changed America. The HISTORY(R) website is the leading online resource for all things history, and in 2011, the United States Library of Congress selected HISTORY(R)'s Civil War 150 site for inclusion in the historic collection of Internet materials related to the American Civil War sesquicentennial. www.history.com.

Hello everyone!
It has recently come to my attention that this thread has, regrettably, become a source of contention between two paragons of MOTU-related lore. As I have explained to both parties, both have personally treated me with respect and friendship, and so I don't want to do anything that would seem like I'm trying to take a side. My admiration for what both parties have (and continue to) bring to the community is extreme. And, moreover, I just want to do whatever i can to maintain harmonious relations with my fellow collectors and fans, and help spread love for and knowledge related to the MOTU/POP mythos wherever I can.
With that said, I have voluntarily (and sadly) chosen to re-post the information that was originally contained in this post as a locked document that only I can edit (to avoid any claims to the contrary). That document can be found here. Also, the full bible itself can now be found elsewhere, and it's definitely worth a read. Out of respect for all involved, I have chosen not to post a direct link here, but am nonetheless confident that those who seek this knowledge will just as surely find it on Facebook or elsewhere--just as Teela'Na found Castle Grayskull (the original storehouse of knowledge) when she sought aid in the Wastes.
Rather than delete the thread in totum, however, I have left it in tact, so as to preserve the fascinating conversations that followed, and the wondrous artworks included on Page 5.
Peace and good journey, my friends!

Trainee Application: FAQs
How do I sign up for a VA clinical training program?
Contact the training coordinator at your medical school, college or university to see if they have an affiliation with VA in your clinical area of interest. You must be enrolled in an accredited clinical training program in a school that is affiliated with the VA in order receive any clinical training at VA.
Does the VA require an Affiliation Agreement for an unpaid student to simply observe at a VA?
Yes. The Affiliation Agreement specifies responsibilities of both VA and the school and affords important legal protections to both, as well as to the trainee.
However, once signed, the Affiliation Agreement remains in effect until one party terminates it, so there would be no need to repeat it each year or for each instance.
I am an international medical graduate(MD). I have completed my USMLE exams for ECFMG certificate and I would like to volunteer at one of the VA hospital as an extern.
Our office does not handle such rotations. You would have to make contact with the appropriate service chief or associate chief of staff for education at the VA nearest to where you live. That facility may or may not allow such rotations, which we call "observer" rotations. It is up to their discretion and local policy as to whether or not they will accept your proposal. You may also wish to try any of the affiliated medical centers with which the VA is affiliated.

8 getaways we wish we could afford
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Published 8th January 2013

Imagine kicking back on a private island in the Bahamas where the staff caters to your every whim.
Yes, it's a pipe dream for 99% of us, but let's imagine. Put that bank balance out of your mind. Now conjure up a snorkel and flippers.
To find some of the most out-of-this-world destinations for jet-setters in 2013, CNN.com asked
Robb Report
editorial director Bruce Wallin for ideas.
So keep this list handy in case of a fat financial windfall:
Singita Grumeti Reserves, Tanzania
Located on a private 350,000-acre game reserve,
the Singita Grumeti Reserves
has only four small lodges on the property.
The four-bedroom
Serengeti House
, which is listed on its blog, quietly opened to guests in December and includes its own chef, guides, tennis court and pool.
"The lodges themselves are as nice as Four Seasons New York, if not nicer," says Wallin. "The wildlife is great, and the service and food is incredible. It's one of the nicest places in the world to stay."
Serengeti House rates start at $8,500 a night for up to four guests during high season (parts of December and January and all of June, July and August), with additional charges for five to eight guests. Pay $84,500 to rent the house for a week for up to eight guests.
Song Saa Private Island, Cambodia
The dream of an Australian couple living in Cambodia, the exclusive
Song Saa Private Island
resort opened in March. With just 27 villas on two small islands in the Koh Rong archipelago, the resort offers diving, snorkeling, nature trails, kayaking, fishing and boat trips to surrounding islands.
Song Saa also has a relationship with the
resort in Siem Reap, allowing travelers to stay there while visiting Angkor Wat's ancient temples.
High-season villa prices starts at $1,595 a night for the one-bedroom Jungle Villa. Rates include food, beverages including beer and house wines and spirits, guided tours and the use of kayaks, boats and snorkeling gear.
Four Seasons Around the World
Imagine jetting around the world via private 757 airplane, visiting some of the world's most extraordinary sites with travel experts and staying at Four Seasons hotels at your destinations. Customs is a breeze for such world travelers.
Four Seasons
featured two around-the-world trips in 2012, each 22 days long, and is already taking reservations for next September's trip. The 2013 journey includes stops in Japan, China, the Maldives, Turkey and Russia. Only 76 spots are available.
Double occupancy costs $70,950 a person, and the single supplement is an extra $8,650.
Musha Cay and the Islands of Copperfield Bay, Bahamas
Want a vacation for up to 24 family members or best friends that goes beyond luxury?
Musha Cay and the Islands of Copperfield Bay
, owned and developed into a beach resort in the Exumas by world-famous magician David Copperfield.
You and your guests can take part in a treasure hunt, spy challenge or other theatrical adventures designed by the team behind Copperfield's magic shows. Of course, the resort also has beaches, a swimming pool, tennis court, outdoor movie theater and nature trails.
Rent out the whole resort, which consists of five houses on the main island. Rates start at $37,500 a night for up to 12 guests with a four-night minimum, including all meals and beverages. The resort can host up to 24 guests for an additional fee.
King Pacific Lodge, Northern British Columbia, Canada
Accessible via privately chartered plane from Vancouver to Bella Bella with a transfer to float planes for the final leg,
King Pacific Lodge
is in the middle of British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest.
The lodge actually floats: Built from cedar, fir, pine and stone on a barge, King Pacific is only open June through September. It has 17 guest rooms and suites, a spa, deck and pool. Prices start at $4,900 (Canadian) based on double occupancy for three nights and include all meals, beverages and use of the lodge facilities.
The Great Bear Rainforest, home to the Gitga'at people (part of the Tsimshian Nation), is host to many nature activities, including kayaking, fishing, whale watching and wildlife watching.
Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Puerto Rico
The Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
, isn't a newcomer to Puerto Rico. The resort, which opened is doors on December 12, is on the site of Laurance Rockefeller's former estate near San Juan. The property continued his environmental legacy by setting aside some 75% of its 1,400 acres as green space.
All 100 guestrooms and 14 one-bedroom suites are on the beach.
"Su Casa," a restored four-bedroom beachfront villa, was the original hacienda. Restaurant and beachfront dining feature the talents of acclaimed chef Jose Andres. The spa offers a tree-house option for massages.
Rates start at $1,499 a night based on double occupancy.
Ballyfin, Ireland
Sitting at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in the Irish countryside,
was named in the Robb Report's "Best of the Best 2012."
Originally the home of Sir Charles Coote, the Regency mansion reopened as Ballyfin in May 2011 with 15 guest rooms. Built in 1822 for Coote's family, the 614-acre estate was later sold and served as a Catholic school.
Purchased by a Chicago businessman in 2002, it underwent a nine-year renovation that upgraded the technology while keeping the Old World elegance and charm.
The resort is closed in January and February (reservations can still be made during that time), and it reopens for the season on March 8. Daily weekend rates for March and April, including meals and amenities, start at 915 euros ($1,206 U.S.) a night for a deluxe room, based on double occupancy.
Aspen, Colorado
The recent reopening of the
Hotel Jerome
, one of the oldest U.S. luxury hotels west of the Mississippi, is just one of the reasons why Aspen is a top U.S. spot for high-end travel, says Wallin.
Even without the renovation, Aspen was already a magnet for the rich and famous.
St. Regis Aspen
reopened in December 2011 after a $40 million redesign. And the five-star lodge
Little Nell
just opened Element 47, which Wallin says may be the best restaurant in town.
"Aspen has long been the country's most glamorous ski destination, so it's hard to say it's undergoing a revival -- it never really waned in popularity in the first place," says Wallin, "But with all the new restaurants, renewed hotels and other developments in the area, Aspen is probably the best it's ever been as a luxury destination. "
At the St. Regis Aspen, the winter season starting rate for a standard guest room, based on double occupancy, is $899 a night. Hotel Jerome's winter season rates start at $695 a night based on double occupancy.
