Our lake is also a great spot for leisurely canoeing. We allow only non-powered boats to take to the water, so leave that electric trolling motor and outboard engine behind. Looking for a nice place to teach your son, daughter, or friend how to canoe without worrying about paddles floating down the river? Our lake is calm and secluded from distraction created by others on the river. A great location to teach them the basics.
Please remember that swimming is strictly prohibited.
We also offer fishing clinics that are a great opportunity for kids to participate in and experience first hand what fishing is all about.
There are probably better fishing holes that you know of (every fisherman has at least one secret spot, and then another they'll never tell about), but we have a nice lake and there are fish in it. Please consult our Rules & Regulations for details for lake fishing.

A newly discovered flaw in the central processing units (CPUs) of computers, mobile devices, and cloud computing devices puts users at risk of hacking — regardless of their software or operating system (OS). And the flaw affects virtually every computer, mobile device, and cloud computing device created in the last 20 years.
Just over a week ago, several security professionals, including Google's Project Zero, a few universities, and private security firms, found the flaw and two possible lines of attack that hackers can pursue based on this flaw. Project Zero named the attacks "Meltdown" and "Spectre." The hardware bug is part of Intel CPUs, and apparently was also found on AMD and ARM processors as well. The bug allows processes to delve into and access memory in the computer's kernel, the deepest and most privileged area of a machine. This spells disaster, as the exploit can spy on data and other processes, effectively escaping any type of security "sandbox." The worst part? It affects computers as well as smartphones and other devices, regardless of operating systems.
A very basic principle of software and computer security is "sandboxing" and application permissions. Basically, programs and code are isolated, or put in a virtual "sandbox" to play by themselves and only with the toys they are assigned. This prevents these programs from reaching into the proverbial cookie jar, because the cookie jar is hidden from them (for good reason). Isolation prevents applications from accessing things that would compromise security of the device, such as core OS components, root privileges, or even personal files and folders that have nothing to do with the application in question. This practice, which one can see on their mobile phone's "permissions," for example, is ubiquitous, thankfully. However, a serious flaw enables hackers to completely work around this security practice. The scary part is that while kernel developers are working on pushing out patches to fix the problem, those patches are slow in coming because the flaw is in the Core Processing Unit (CPU), the "brain" of literally millions of devices. The patches are a type of computer "brain surgery," and it takes time to do it correctly.
While the problem is pretty technical and somewhat difficult to explain to the average computer user, it is serious enough that the entire industry is scrambling for a fix. Graz University of Technology in a joint effort has released a lengthy study — aptly named "Meltdown" — which says, in part, "On affected systems, Meltdown enables an adversary to read memory of other processes or virtual machines in the cloud without any permissions or privileges, affecting millions of customers and virtually every user of a personal computer." So while many people do not understand the problem itself, they are still put at risk by it. Literally anyone with the understanding and know-how to exploit Meltdown or Spectre (this certainly includes the folks over at the NSA and CIA) can access someone's computer or mobile device, regardless of the operating system installed on it. (Yes, that includes Linux too, believe it or not.)
As if this was not bad enough, apparently the flaw has been around for 20 years. While it was just discovered publicly, it is more than feasible that the flaw has been known by other, let's just say "less-public," entities. Just think about it. Would a person or agency that exploits vulnerabilities in order to surveil or monitor a target, or commit some other type of cyber-crime, want to alert the public, knowing that this wouild result in the exploit being patched? Of course not. So, pick the governmental spy agency or hacking group, the odds are hackers already knew about Meltdown and Spectre (and perhaps others) and are now vaguely humored as they read the headlines.
The good news is the entire tech community is well aware of this serious problem, and literally the best brains in the world are now working to fix the problem. While the majority who are not a part of the development community cannot actively do anything to fix the problem, good security practices are obviously still necessary. Early software patches and system updates are being developed and released across the board, which will mitigate the problem, hopefully very soon. The best practice for users is to apply whatever patches are issued as soon as they are available. Keeping your end-point devices up-to-date is always a good idea.

"And now, friend-reader, you must prepare your heart and your mind for the most impure tale that has ever been told since our world began, a book the likes of which are met with neither amongst the ancients nor amongst us moderns. Fancy, now, that all pleasure-taking either sanctioned by good manners or enjoyned by that fool you speak of incessantly, of whom you know nothing and whom you call Nature; fancy, I say, that all these modes of taking pleasure will be expressly excluded from this anthology, of that whenever peradventure you do indeed encounter them here, they will always be accompanied by some crime or colored by some infamy."

These young men gave their lives. And so would Donny. Donny, who loved bowling.

You killed her husband, and for that vile fault two of her brothers were condemned to death, my hand cut off and made a merry jest, both her sweet hands, her tongue, and that more dear than hands or tongue, her spotless chastity, inhuman traitors, you constrained and forced. What would you say if I should let you speak? Villains, for shame, you could not beg for grace. Hark, wretches, how I mean to martyr you. This one hand yet is left to cut your throats whilst that Lavinia, 'tween her stumps doth hold the basin that receives your guilty blood. You know, your mother means to feast with me and calls herself Revenge and thinks me mad. Hark, villains. I shall grind your bones to dust, and with your blood and it I shall make a paste, and of the paste a coffin I will rear and make two pastries of your shameful heads. And bid that strumpet, your unhallowed dam, like to the earth, swallow her own increase! This is the feast I have bid her to, and this the banquet she shall surfeit on…
And now prepare your throats."
"At the moment when Cosette emerged, bucket in hand, melancholy and overcome as she was, she could not refrain from lifting her eyes to that wonderful doll, towards the lady, as she called it. The poor child paused in amazement. She had not yet beheld that doll close to. The whole shop seemed a palace to her: the doll was not a doll; it was a vision. It was joy, splendor, riches, happiness, which appeared in a sort of chimerical halo to that unhappy little being so profoundly engulfed in gloomy and chilly misery. With the sad and innocent sagacity of childhood, Cosette measured the abyss which separated her from that doll. She said to herself that one must be a queen, or at least a princess, to have a 'thing' like that. She gazed at that beautiful pink dress, that beautiful smooth hair, and she thought, 'How happy that doll must be!' She could not take her eyes from that fantastic stall. The more she looked, the more dazzled she grew. She thought she was gazing at paradise. There were other dolls behind the large one, which seemed to her to be fairies and genii. The merchant, who was pacing back and forth in front of his shop, produced on her somewhat the effect of being the Eternal Father.
In this adoration she forgot everything, even the errand with which she was charged.
All at once the Thenardier's coarse voice recalled her to reality: 'What, you silly jade! you have not gone? Wait! I'll give it to you! I want to know what you are doing there! Get along, you little monster!'
The Thenardier had cast a glance into the street, and had caught sight of Cosette in her ecstasy.
Cosette fled, dragging her pail, and taking the longest strides of which she was capable."

Bach to the Future Pre-Concert Letter
Happy (belated) New Year and thank you for two wonderful and sold-out concerts at the Strathallan! We are excited to return to Hochstein for the final three concerts of the season. Our next concert features the music of J.S.Bach, but with a twist. We will perform his music as arranged by other great composers, such as Mozart and Rachmaninoff. We will also perform Sitkovetsky's arrangement of Bach's Goldberg Variations for string trio featuring Juliana Athayde, Marc Anderson and Benjamin Krug. Hearing this piano work performed as a string trio brings a whole new level of appreciation for this masterwork. Mendelssohn was one of the first composers to promote Bach's genius and Shannon Nance will perform a collection of early works that clearly show Bach's compositional influence. Bach's style is re-imagined in the twentieth century as we conclude the program with the fun and pleasurable Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by Claude Bolling performed by Rebecca Gilbert, Chiao-Wen Cheng, Jeff Campbell and Dave Mancini.
We are pleased to resume the complimentary wine tastings at intermission and invite you to join us! The pre-concert chat is at 3:30pm and the performance begins at 4pm.
Erik and Juliana

Many travelers to Thailand are by-passing professional services, like public transport and cars with drivers, and are driving themselves.
Before you take off on two wheels, find out the essential information, and the answer to our most frequently asked question: do I need travel insurance to ride a motorbike in Thailand?
The short answer? Yes, yes, and yes.
If you want to drive a car or ride a motorcycle in Thailand, you'll need to have absolute nerves of steel to survive emotionally and physically. The country has an appalling road safety record and there are lots of accidents, despite numerous government safety initiatives over the years.
Thailand rates second in the world for road fatalities per capita, behind Libya. During the 2016/17 new year holiday period, 478 people died in road accidents in one week.
You must have a license – one from home (best paired with an international driver's permit) – or you can get one in Thailand, and it has to be for the class of vehicle you're intending to hire.
If you don't have a motorbike license back home, you don't magically acquire one by flying into Thailand. Thousands of visitors each year rent a motorbike and ride around Thailand totally unlicensed. It's illegal.
You will need a driving license from your home country if you want to hire a motorbike or car. But, if you do not have an international license or a Thai license, you will be driving illegally.
What if you're stopped by police? Yes, you can usually pay the police officer off for a few dollars, not that we recommend that! But you should check out our guide to bribing police and find out the going rate for traffic offenses.
The fact that the shop rented you the bike without asking for your license, doesn't mean you don't need one. It's not their responsibility if you don't check out the local law.
Apart from the
Tens of thousands of visitors each year rent a motorcycle or scooter, ride around unlicensed and get away with it. It's illegal.
Many travelers report ticking the motorcycle box on their International Driver's Permit. If the policeman who stops you isn't fooled, you'll pay a "fine", after which he'll let you go on your merry way. This does not mean you are riding legally; you've just avoided the law by paying a bribe.
You can keep on riding regardless, but what if you have a crash, and you need to call on your travel insurance? It's pretty straightforward; no valid license means you're riding illegally and you're not covered.
If you tried that "everyone's doing it!" stuff on your mother, we're pretty sure she'd want to know if you were going to jump off a cliff if everyone else was doing it. So listen to your mother.
If you don't have a valid license in the country where the accident happened, you're riding illegally and you're not covered. If you're not sure, give us a call.
You cannot insure against illegal activity. That also includes not wearing a helmet where it's compulsory (Cambodia, Thailand, Bali) and riding under the influence of drink or drugs (everywhere).
If the shop lets you rent a bike without asking for your license, it doesn't mean you don't need one. Again, it's not their responsibility. It's yours to check local laws before you go.
Injury from a motorcycle accident is one of the most common claims received by insurers.
Don't be fooled, the insurer will check if you have a valid license (forging that international permit isn't looking so smart anymore).
Here are a few tips to keep you safe while on the road:
If you do end up in a crash, whether you are at fault or not, if you are a farang (visitor), the accident is your fault. Don't fight it, but negotiate to keep the costs down.
Going to give the motorbike a miss now? There are plenty of other transport options in Thailand.
You can buy at home or while traveling, and claim online from anywhere in the world. With 150+ adventure activities covered and 24/7 emergency assistance.
Are the Thai police reliable and approachable? Can you bribe your way out of anything? Read these tips for staying on the right side of law enforcement.
There are many ways to get around Thailand: Tuk Tuk, bus, motorbike, train, boat and others. Here's how to do it all safely and avoid being another statistic.

Mobile Employees, Contractors and Guests Can Easily Print Without Installing Any Printers
St. George, UTAH—September 23, 2015—PrinterLogic, the leading Enterprise Printer Management solution, today announced the availability of its new Mobile Printing solution, extending the capabilities of its existing print management platform to enable simple printing from any device, anytime and anywhere. PrinterLogic's Mobile Printing enables enterprises to empower their mobile employees to print natively from their devices, while also giving BYOD users, partners and guests the ability to quickly and easily print by emailing their print jobs to a printer. This enables simple printing without the installation of any printers or the need for print servers, and without the need for iOS or Google Cloud Print compatible printers.
"The number of mobile workers is at an all-time high, meaning more employees need a way of easily and securely printing from whichever office they happen to be working from, from any device, without the headaches of installing new printers each time," said Jarrett Taylor, Founder and CTO of PrinterLogic. "Similarly, enterprises need a way to enable contractors, partners and guests to easily print—while retaining the ability to control what and how they print."
Making Life Easier for Mobile Employees
Mobile employees are more common than ever, and enterprises struggle with providing an easy way for those mobile users to print from any office they happen to be in. PrinterLogic's Mobile Printing solution enables mobile employees to print natively from their mobile devices. Benefits for the mobile employee include:
Making Life Easier for BYOD, Partners and Guests
BYOD users, partners and guests traditionally encounter a number of difficulties when trying to print from enterprise offices. Getting authorization to print and installing printers is often a non-starter, and is difficult for both the user and IT. PrinterLogic's Mobile Printing solution enables BYOD users, partners and guests to easily print from any device, via simple email-to-print functionality regardless of whether they are on- or off-network. These users simply walk to a printer, enter its dedicated email address, email documents to that printer where it is immediately printed.
Making Life Easier on IT
Enterprise IT departments spend a large portion of their time dealing with print-related requests that stem from challenges around printing. PrinterLogic simplifies printing for those users, which drastically reduces the number of print-related service desk calls IT receives. In addition, PrinterLogic provides a number of added benefits for IT, including:
Additional Features
In addition to solving the challenges of mobile, BYOD and guest printing, PrinterLogic's latest release also provides enterprises with several new capabilities. This includes broader platform support, additional security features, and management tools.
Organizations interested in a demo of PrinterLogic's Mobile Printing solution, or a free trial of PrinterLogic's complete platform, can contact PrinterLogic here.
About PrinterLogic
Thousands of enterprises use PrinterLogic's patent-pending printer and driver management platform to deliver Mobile, Pull and Virtual printing, while eliminating print servers and providing a self-service portal that empowers end users to install their own printers. PrinterLogic recently won the 2017 Buyers Laboratory prestigious Pick award as Outstanding Enterprise Print Environment Platform. In addition, the company has been recognized twice as one of the fastest growing companies in North America – being ranked number 141 overall (and 8th amongst software vendors) on the Inc. 5000 and number 107 on the Deloitte Fast 500.

Do you ever have those days where it's freezing outside, and nothing sounds better than a nice hot cocoa to warm yourself up at home? Welcome to winterland Evanston, home to the merciless Chicago winds and bitterly numbing cold that goes straight to your bones. Lovely, right? Well, the good news is that it's snowed, and everything is much more tolerable when there's pretty snow on the ground. But you see, there's a secret to surviving the bitter, bitter cold...
Hot cocoa!
But wait. This isn't just any ordinary hot cocoa. It's something that'll melt your insides with hazelnut-y dark chocolate-y goodness. It's the deepest darkest
hot cocoa. That's right. Bet you haven't heard of this sweet twist before, have you? It's an original recipe by Pass the Cocoa; that's why!
Also, I thought this would be an appropriate little recipe to share with you because World Nutella Day is coming up...tomorrow! And if you haven't tried Nutella before...you crazy hippo, go get some now!
But seriously. Nutella's everywhere (especially if you go to Europe), but even in any local grocery store or the CVS down the block. And the awesome thing about Northwestern dining halls is that they are
prepared with Nutella. So something else that's delicious (and you should try this at home or in your dorm!) is Nutella on PBJ sandwich! (Pro tip: Texas Toast bread is best, especially when toasted.) This is the perfect go-to food when you have one of those unsatisfactory days in a dining hall. Nutella also goes great in
...just sayin'.
Try it. You'll probably love it, unless you're like my crazy friend who stubbornly declares her hatred of Nutella on a daily basis whenever she sees me eating it (I question her sanity sometimes.). Plus, dark chocolate is delicious (and healthy-ish!). If you're not a fan of dark chocolate, go ahead and sub in regular cocoa (:
Anyways! On to the Deepest Darkest Nutella Hot Cocoa!
P.S. My dorm has awful lighting, so it's been a struggle getting acceptable photos. Hope you enjoy!
You'll need a spoon.
The ingredient line-up -- It's that easy! (Please disregard the background clutter. It's my dorm desk.)
A heaping scoop of dark cocoa. Come to the dark side...mwahaha.
Deepest Darkest Nutella Hot Cocoa
So simple, so dark, so divine. Tis the glory of Nutella
Time: 3 minutes
Yield: 1 cup
1-2 heaping scoops of dark chocolate cocoa (I used Starbucks cocoa)
1 heaping scoop of Nutella
1 cup milk (or as much as desired for one serving)
1. Pour the desired amount of milk (around 1 cup) into a microwave-safe mug. Heat in microwave for up to 1 ½ - 2 minutes (depending on your microwave settings).
2. Using a regular spoon, add 1-2 heaping scoops of dark chocolate cocoa. Seriously, heap it on.
3. Using a regular spoon, add 1 heaping scoop of Nutella. Or more, if you like. Stir like crazy until everything's nicely blended and smooth. Add whip cream and garnish.

Each day children climb on school buses in America and head to school. They are greeted at the door by a well-educated professional whom is licensed to teach. The child feels relatively safe in the classroom and has confidence in the education that is being provided. Most parents assuredly send their child to school without worry. Each and every child, at least in the last 60 years, is guaranteed an education regardless of race, poverty , or social status. The first ever public school was Boston Latin School. It was founded in 1635 by Puritan settlers. This was over a hundred years before the founding of The United States. It's evident that education is a privilege that our founders wanted for all its free citizens. I make the distinction of free because at this time in American history slaves were not allowed to attend school.
Today in America we take for granted the idea that an education is as available as the air we breath. We take for granted that gaining an education is as simple as climbing on a yellow purveyor of children. We take for granted that it will always be attainable. Gaining an education is a right that we as Americans are guaranteed. However in other parts of the world the right to attend school is not assured . I remember several years ago a gentleman whom was former military spoke about how he watched kids in other countries walk miles sometimes barefoot to get to the nearest school. The idea of a bus safely transporting them was not even a possibility. He spoke about how young girls could be raped or kidnapped on the way to school but still took the risk to gain access to an education. An education is a powerful tool to have. It allows a person to explore different possibilities and opportunities. Ignorance is not bliss and whoever came up with that term was sadly mistaken. To be ignorant is a sad existence that allows others whom are better educated or savvier to take advantage. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, slaves were not allowed the opportunity to learn. The masters believed that an educated slave was a dangerous slave. Furthermore, education is empowering and allows one to think in multiple dimensions and not just one. If a slave was found reading or writing, he or she was either immediately sold off or worse. However, slaves would still risk obtaining these skills because they understood the power and value of these gifts.
It's because of the struggle of others to obtain an education that we as a nation should embrace the opportunity for a fair, free, and appropriate education. It may not be fair or appropriate in all parts of the United States due to issues far too numerous for this short read, but we at least have the opportunity to receive an education if wanted. We need to remember, as stated in the previous paragraph, that we are fortunate to have such ready access to knowledge. Immigrants that come from other countries that stifle or prevent the opportunity for an education understand the idea of a free education very well. This is why they excel at every opportunity in the American educational system because they comprehend what it means not to have instruction. In closing, I will state we as American citizens need to take advantage of our education system. Public schools have existed in this country for over 380 years and have been fairly successful in producing productive citizens. Yes we have issues with the system but at least the opportunity to earn a diploma is there.

Rock and roll baby, pedal pedal pedal, cheese, spam, jolly green giant, corn,washed out campsite, calamity jane & air rifles
(Monday 21 May 2012) by Karen O'Shea
Start of my northern tour from New York back to Los Angeles via Canada.
Another 4 weeks of camping……I'm an old hand at this stage!!!! There were 12 of us who started out in LA 5 weeks ago and now there were only 6 of us remaining to do this tour. Thought some more people would join us but apparently no one in their right mind is crazy enough to do this tour at this time of year!!! Just as well I'm not alone than!!!!!
Niagara falls New York
I was expecting Niagara Falls to be in a valley in the middle of a green area. But in fact it is a town between the US and Canada. It was wonderful. The whole noise of it all was so powerful and quite mesmerizing. We took a boat out to the falls and got completely soaked along the way, but well worth it. I mean you can't come to Niagara Falls and go home dry…..what's that about? Saw the most amazing sunset at our campground at 4 mile creek. We were camping next to lake Ontario, ah just thinking back it was so amazing.
Rock 'n' Roll hall of fame (Cleveland Ohio)
This was such an interesting museum all about the roots of r'n'r and who were the big influences. Looking at all the memorable was awesome, from Jim Morrison's school report, to u2's first poster to James brown's jump suits. All great to see.
I rang my aunt Margaret today, she lives in Vermont and has done for over 50 years. It was great to speak to her. I found it sweet after living here for the majority of her life she still refers to Ireland as home. Anyway to all the O'Shea's she and her family are in great form and were asking for ye all.
Chicago (Illinois)
On our way to Chicago we drove through the state of Michigan. It was so scenic. Real country communities. Full of timber houses with big red and white timber barns. We even came across an Amish community which was really great to witness. Didn't want to be gaping at these folk as they are quite private, just going about their business. But it was great to see, the school kids on their way to school on a horse and cart all fully covered from head to toe.
Eventually arrived in the windy city. And yes it lived up to its name it even rained too. Saw some great blues band in the Kingston mines. Pretty awesome. I was hoping to meet terry my cousin here but it never came about as I wasn't here for long and was trying to pack as much in as I could.
The following day we went on a 4 and a hafl bike tour of the city. I was on a tandem bike with an Austrian girl Suzy from our tour. Oh guys…………It was the best laugh ever. I had never did tandem and thought why not Chicago………..it's a good a place as any!!! For the whole duration we laughed all the way. We scooted our way in and out of traffic. A bit freaky driving on the right side of the road though. It's so weird riding on the back of the tandem; you have no control what so ever. And we had lots of mis communication between myself and the Austrian, she would shout pedal, right leg, left leg, no pedal and stop…………..and hello she had the break leavers…..
We saw a good lot of the city and the weather was perfect no wind. Took in the sights of millennium park, wrigley field home of the cubs baseball team. Later on that evening instead of paying to go up the Willis tower we went up the John Hancock building for free so long as you bought a drink on the bar on the top floor……………..the views were amazing. Seeing all the lights turn on in the city was pretty cool. I liked Chicago a lot and would have maybe a little more time there.
Chicago to Jackson Minnesota
Some of the drives we do are quite long but the scenery is amazing and we always stop off somewhere interesting along the way. This morning for a quick coffee stop we pulled up at "the cheese firework & gifts service station", yeah you read it right folks.
I couldn't wait to go in and I so wasn't disappointed. It was a deli, service station, gift shop..(lots of cheese gifts from cheese beer holders to cheese hats…you name it they had it), and the fireworks my god so many and obviously so legal here. I love these kind of shops where your not certain what your going to find. Another shop we visited a few days back in new York sold beer, north face clothing, toys and a load of wigs…!!!!
Next stop was in Austin Minnesota to visit the home of SPAM. This is where that little tin of spam we have mocked originated from. They have built a whole museum dedicated to it. What made me laugh so much about this museum is how so proud of spam they are. You could buy anything in the gift shop spam track suits, spam cups, spam plasters, spam jigsaw and of course spam itself. Apparently in the day when spam was being promoted there was no TV and radio adverts were expensive, how they promoted it was they had girls that's travelled around the country who sang and danced on stage, they promoted the spam. So from now on folks when in Tesco's and you pass the shelf with spam on it……….RESPECT THE SPAM!!!!!!!
Sticking with the theme of food we stopped off in another place in Minnesota which is home to the green giant. You know the tune from the advert on the TV. Well this is his home and in his honour the locals have built a 50 foot statue of him looking over the town.
Jackson Minnesota to Badlands South Dakota
Still on the food museum thing what better way to start the day than a visit to "The corn palace" the corniest town in America. Yeah a whole museum dedicated to CORN. Love it! Only the american's could pull this off. Actually to be honest the murals made from corn were amazing truly awesome.
Speaking of only in America I went into Wal-Mart (our equivalent to Tesco but Wal-Mart is much more interesting)I arrived up to the till with 2 cases of Heineken and a bb gun (air gun), and we just talk about the weather as if this is such a normal purchase……………well I supposed it is in the states.
As it was Hannah's birthday we stopped off at a saloon in the middle of a small town where beer during happy hour is 50 ct……………(I love America). So a pitcher was 2 dollars……………..talk about giving it away.
Later on when we reached badlands we went for a small hike. Haven't hiked in ages as all our stops have cities. The views along the way were pretty spectacular. Well worth the hike. That night at the campsite a few of us decided to sleep out as there was only a 30% chance of rain……………..(so glad I'm not really a big gambler)…..all was fine until 2 a.m. when the skies just started bucketing down…….mayday..mayday..storm the tent and wake everyone else up along the way!!!!!!
Ah man the weather that night was unreal. Heavy rain, wind, thunder and lighting and hail the size of golf balls (the size of golf balls I was told as I couldn't and wouldn't poke my head out the door). It kept going for most of the night it was so loud so surprised the tent stayed standing but that it did. I must say I did enjoy the weather I have never been so close to it before. Got a good buzz out of it I must admit.
Badlands to Deadwood South Dakota
As we were cold and hungry our first stop this morning was in a place called wall which is "the home of wall drug". For the last 350 miles we came across 72 bill boards advertising wall drug. "Wall drug, coffee 5 ct a must see", "wall drug as told by America", "wall drug spells fun", "it's waiting for you- T Rex Wall drug". So from the signs I really didn't know what was waiting for us but we had to go there. When we got there it was just a street it reminded me of a movie set. Wall drug was massive it was a coffee shop, gift shop, museum and amusement place. It was so funny they had a gorilla playing the piano. A T rex that made noises every so often. Wall drug did start off as a pharmacy and just expanded through the years. Must get onto the kildysart about the 5 ct coffees…..
Mount Rushmore
I really had been so looking forward to seeing Mount Rushmore. Its where the presidents faces are carved into stone. It is such an iconic American symbol. I wasn't disappointed. It was such a big task to undertake back in the day. Some amount of with into the building of it.
A few miles down the road there is another sculpture being carved into the mountain side. It's called the crazy horse memorial and it is the largest in the world. It still is a work in progress. When it is complete it will be of crazy horse who was a native American, sitting on his horse pointing to mount Rushmore. It will be amazing when it is done. One man started it in the 70's and his family carried it one when he passed away. They have refused all government funding as they were afraid it would be put on the long finger and never finished. So they just rely on donations which I think is pretty cool this day and age.
Deadwood South Dakota
What a great little town. Real American country town. Full of wooden shop fronts and houses and saloons. It was where wild bill Hancock was murdered at a poker table. (FYI his hand was 8's and Ace's ) we saw his grave and calamity Jane's.
Deadwood to thermonopolis Wyoming
What is in thermonopolis you say absolutely nothing except 3 natural hot springs. Which when your camping is like an oasis in the desert. I slept outside under the stars, it was a little cold in the early hours but bearable. Was wearing thermals, track pants, t shirt, funky wooly jumper from Kathy's thrift store, hoodie, hat, socks and 2 sleeping bags. God there is such preparation in getting ready for bed, looking forward to getting home and just getting under the duvet, end of preparation…lol
Earlier on that day we stopped off for lunch at a frozen lake. We always stop at the side of the road for lunch and eat from our coolers. Anyway got to use my bb gun, oh I was so happy out. There was no one around and it wasn't in a national park and hell it was legal so why not??????
Yellowstone national park Wyoming
I have been in so many national parks but the top of the crop are Grand Canyon np, Yellowstone np and Yosemite np. Oh my it so beautiful here. There is still snow about and it just adds to the place. Warmish by day but drops quite a bit at night. saw some spectacular scenery rivers, geezers, waterfalls and mountains.
Devon our tour leader had been here before and told us not to hold out too much hope to see bears. There are signs everywhere on what to do if you come across bears. We had to make our tents bear proof as in any food or toiletries put them into the locked trailer, so not to draw the bears to the campsite. I did find this quite exciting. Anyway it turned out to be the most successful day wildlife watching.
Saw coyotes, osprey, yellow billed marmot, bison, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, elks…………….and wait for it the most rewarding of all…….. got to see 5 bears,…….3 black bears and 2 grizzly bears. Whow it was amazing. Really breath taking. The grizzly bears are so big. Zooming in you could see their shoulders and faces……….whow!!! Never seen anything like it before, it was great to see them in the real wild not on TV and not in a zoo…………awesome.
All the animals roam wild here on the mountains on the roads. The can literally walk out in front of the car and cause a bison jam. Got to hike another mountain today bunson peak. It was over 9000 feet high. It was a great hike, was covered in snow so there was so much more to deal with than just normal hiking. The top of the trail was closed cause it was so dangerous but we soldiered on. I would have been so disappointed after all the hardship and sweat and falls if we had not reached it. But we did and it felt good. The views were amazing.
Lunch today was so hilarious. We stopped off in the part where it said picnic area. Got all our containers out and our table set up. There were a bison near us just chewing away on the grass….shoving a little closer but really minding his own business…..or so we thought. Kept eye balling him as he shoved closer and closer until we had to drop everything and retreat. He just walked right past our table, thought he would tackle the food box but he just walked on by. It was so funny, people were even filming us. Anyway we sat back down to resume lunch only for the same bison and a few of his mates to come back over our way again……………didn't have to retreat this time.
It really was the best time of the year to go to Yellowstone. The weather was warmish. The scenery especially the snow made it just epic. And also there were no traffic jams on the road, we had room to maneuver.
Glacier National park Montana (state no 28 on my trek across America….)
Stayed in a lodge for these two nights as it was supposed to snow. It did on and off for a while but nothing major. The temp did drop to about -6 ish during the night. But didn't bother us as we were well in doors. We attempted to do two hikes but one was closed due to bear activity. I love it they let you walk about half a km and then they put the sign up. Not at the start of the trail.
The second hike we just started and Devon came shouting that he spotted three grizzly bears. So we abandoned that hike hopped in the van and watched the three grizzlies on the mountain. Again it was spectacular. We watched them for ages walking along the mountain. I should say walking down the mountain. I opened a packed of crisps as I was a little peckish with all the bear hunting……… didn't realize their sense of smell was so good. You could see them smelling the air as our window was open. They came pretty close to us and than just walked down the road. Awesome. And Amazing and really indescribable.
We were so spoiled for choice with the amount of animals we saw over the last number of days. I mean some people go there just to see bears and never do. Our hopes weren't high and in the end we couldn't have asked for anything better….it was just un top able.
The time is so flying by here. I have only three weeks left between Canada and America and my return. And as I am sure they will be awesome just like the last 28 weeks…
sorry no photos at this moment as the connection is slow....later y'all

In October, Ken and Zoe had organised a North Coast meet up at Tongue hostel for SSKEG. I keep thinking as we are passing through Inverness that we are almost there, forgetting the fact we are really only about half way there! After driving over bleak moors dotted with magnificent stags, we did eventually arrive at the hostel, with a very welcome roaring fire!
|On Rabbit Island
Next morning minus Zoe, 6 of us, Lori, Antje, Alan, Fiona, Ken and myself, set off from the slipway, picked our way between sand banks and big swells before eventually making it out to Rabbit Islands. We landed here for a bit of a clamber around the lovely golden sand dunes, couldn't find any rabbits, but we did find lots of otter footprints. We carried on clockwise round the island before picking our way through the next group of islands with the crashing waves, then headed out to Eilean Nan Ron. On the sheltered side, it was great getting into caves, round we stacks, through arches, out from the shelter, it was just lumpy, bumpy, swooshy! Coming back into Tongue Bay, there was a huge white wall which looked like it ran the full width of the bay! Yikes! We kept quite far to the right, however, as we got nearer, we could see that it wasn't quite as bad as it had first looked!
|Big bubble bath
|Not quite the paddling we thought of!
We did manage to pick our way through, eventually making it back to the slipway, back to the hostel - and back to that roaring fire and a beer!
Next day David, Alice and Ansgar joined us, though Alan had a day off. This time we set off from Ard Neackie in Loch Eriboll to the sound of large BOOMS! from the firing range nearer Cape Wrath. Weather again was a bit breezy and dreich! We cut across the loch, paddled up the west side, then pulled into a lovely little sheltered harbour at Rispond for a breather. We were hoping to carry onto Durness, however the conditions had other ideas so we headed out to Eilean Hoan for lunch, then back into Loch Eriboll and down the east side.
|Heading back into Loch Eriboll
I have to say, it was quite nice getting back into slightly more sheltered waters!
Day 4, Alice and Ansgar have abandoned us today (back to work!) everyone else headed over to Dwarwick pier to head out round Dunnet Head.
It was a really good, committing, few days hard paddling with good company, but boy was I glad of that icecream!

Renovating the interior of the conservatory wasn't strictly planned for this year, but with the kitchen coming to a complete stand-still, I couldn't help but begin a new project elsewhere in the house. Up till now, the conservatory had been used pretty much as a walkway, as it provided the only door and access to the garden. It was filled full of DIY tools, garden tools and things left by the previous owner. Other than providing storage, the only use for this room was for washing clothes and hanging them out to dry. It's basically a room with no purpose.
But of course, we're going to be changing all that. By having a new French door fitted in the kitchen and moving the washing machine back into the kitchen, we'll be able to use this room as an actual room of its own. Currently the conservatory is crazy ugly, it sucks light from reaching the dining room, it's cold, leaky and pretty much unusable. It was built in the 80s with a thin plastic roof, single glazed windows and just one-brick this walls. Some of these things we can't change (short of re-building the conservatory!) but we can improve on them and I believe this room still has plenty of potential.
We'll be ditching all the junk and turning this room into a little summer snug room - the perfect place to chill with a glass of wine when the evenings are too cold for the garden. It'll never be a very usable room in winter, but it'd be a real shame to tear this room down - and I'd always wanted a conservatory anyway.
We'll be ditching all the junk and turning this room into a little summer snug room - the perfect place to chill with a glass of wine when the evenings are too cold for the garden. It'll never be a very usable room in winter, but it'd be a real shame to tear this room down - and I'd always wanted a conservatory anyway.
So, what do we have planned?
1. New Roof
This part of the conservatory renovation has much much needed for such a long time. The old roof has been leaking for far too long! We'll be sticking with polycarbonate for budget reasons, but it'll be a higher quality and have greater insulating purposes for winter too.
2. New French Doors
The mis-mash of single glazed and double glazed at the front of the conservatory just doesn't work. I'd like to get rid of all this, chop out the brickwork below the windows and have a giant French door with two sidelight panels. It'll let heaps more light in and look far more modern.
3. Cladded Exterior
The front of the conservatory is so damn ugly. With its rotten wood, peeling gutter and dirty roof, it just looks cheap and naff. Short of re-building this room, it's never going to look period fitting for the rest of the house, but we'd like to embrace its difference to the rest of the house and give it a new modern look. To do this, we think exterior cladding is the best solution - it'll hide the 80s brick which I hate and will hopefully set the conservatory firmly apart from the rest of the house. In my head it works, whether or not it'll end up looking like a log cabin meets sauna remains to be seen!
4. Plastering and A Feature Wall
I really quite like the exposed brick inside the conservatory, but the old and new bricks together don't work. There's also a little too much exposed brick for my liking, it's like one giant white brick box. We'll be adding some insulating plasterboard over the newer brickwork and painting in a light grey colour to make a feature wall. This will hopefully make the room a little warmer in winter and the feature wall, which will have a giant window mirror upon it will add some bounced light into the dining room and hopefully provide a much needed garden view too!
5. Plants, Plants, Plants
A conservatory isn't a conservatory unless it's partly used as a greenhouse to house some amazing plants! I'd quite like to have a slow-growing climbing plant in here, which I know may sound a bit odd to have indoors, but I think it'll look really quirky and really connect this room to the outdoors as a kind of indoor garden extension.
6. DIY Pallet Seating (again!)
Yes, I love my pallet seating - so much that I'm going to built it again! This time it wont have a backrest, but will be more like a bench. I intend on having lift-up seats so that it can also provide some storage space too. It'll be painted in either a grey or white colour and covered in monochrome cushions.
7. DIY Concrete Coffee Table
I love mixing materials and I think concrete and wood work so well together. I've been dying to make a concrete table for ages, but just haven't had to right room to do it in. Well, this is the one! I haven't worked out the logistics for it yet, or how it'll look, but I'm pretty excited about this one anyway.
8. Festoon Lighting
I've been eyeing up some Festoon Lights for a while, but I really couldn't justify adding more lights to the garden, so instead I thought the conservatory would be the perfect place to bring some Festoon Lights into the home. Hopefully it'll add a very chilled out vibe to the room, perfect for those warm summer evenings!
9. Travertine Flooring
I love natural stone floors and I think travertine would be a perfect match against the wood and concrete I'm planning for this room. I love textured travertine and I've already began collecting heaps of samples. I've even found a favourite - I'm just not sure I can justify the extra £55 delivery cost! Ouch.
We've already begun some work in here by painting the beams grey, but we certainly have heaps more to do! I'm quite confident this room wont be a huge job and shouldn't take too long to finish. It's a pretty good side-project to the kitchen and it'll be nice to have somewhere finished in the downstairs part of the house.
You can follow my pin board to see some of the ideas and inspirations I have planned in this room, here's a little sneak peak...
Do you have any suggestions for this room? I'm open to all ideas!

Many of your contacts are likely related to other contacts, companies and projects in some way. Plotting out these relationships and connections makes it easier to see how each one fits into the scope of your business and helps you to seize opportunities. After linking a record, a new text field with the hint "How do they relate" appears below the linked record's name. Here you optionally add a note as to how the two records are related e.g. family, founder, board member, employed date range, etc.
What's new
The "How do they relate" is now unique to each side of the relationship. For example instead of "family" you can now enter "Father" and "Son", "Employee" and "Employer", "Client" and "2012 revision", etc.
Once you've linked two records you'll see two new inputs, think of them as how does this record link to that record.

The "ABCs" of REBT II: A preliminary study of errors and confusions made by REBT therapists
Dryden, Windy. 2012. The "ABCs" of REBT II: A preliminary study of errors and confusions made by REBT therapists. Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, 30, pp. 173-187. ISSN 0894-9085 [Article]
Abstract or Description
In this study, 19 REBT therapists from the Albert Ellis Institute's referral list from a sample of 83 provided a specific "ABC" assessment of a problem and its solution that they would teach a class of counselling graduate students. This material was analysed for evidence of errors and confusions with respect to the "ABCs" of REBT. A total of 81 of such errors/confusions were found with most being made about beliefs at "B", particularly about rational beliefs. A variety of errors and confusions were also made about "A" and emotional "Cs". It was suggested that one way of addressing this state of affairs would be for the Albert Ellis Institute to introduce a theory test which applicants for Fellowship and Associate Fellowship status would have to pass before being awarded such status. Weaknesses of the current study were noted and suggestions for future research made.

At Vine Street, we have a beautiful tradition to mark the beginning of Advent; it's our very own version of the Hanging of the Greens.
Early in the season, at the end of the day, women, men, and children of all ages gather in the sanctuary. We sing some of our favorite carols and we listen to stories that tell us how bells and stars, candles and poinsettias became part of our holiday traditions.
As part of the service we also decorate the sanctuary with wreaths and garlands – hence the name, Hanging of the Greens. We prepare our hearts by preparing the space. This is no sit-quietly-in-your-pew service, but a walk-around-and-help-add-beauty service. Toward the end of this special time together, though, we quietly watch the great star as it rises over the baptistery and we say a prayer that our hearts may be prepared to welcome the coming of Christ.
Our Hanging of the Greens is a simple and festive time of worship and preparation for all generations, and we hope you will join us this year.
Sunday, December 1, 4:30pm
Hanging of the Greens
The service is short enough for our youngest friends to enjoy, and after the closing carol, those of us who aren't too tired go downstairs to the fellowship hall for a little hot cider and a cookie, and all are invited to make a family advent wreath to take home with them.

Two elephants seals fighting. Photo by Franco Folini via Flickr
A Different Kind of Weekend
I am anticipating a wonderful Super Bowl weekend doing nothing related to football! Instead, I am (hopefully) avoiding the crazy traffic and crowds by going to Año Nuevo State Park to see the true super mammals: elephant seals. Northern elephant seal bulls can reach a length of 16 feet, weigh about 5,400 pounds, and dive to well over 5,000 feet in the ocean. They are large, fascinating creatures, though hardly beautiful. They are smelly and mean, and we are certain to see some fights, mainly among the males. But to see them is to become entranced by their unusualness and complexity.
Every time I do a tour at Año Nuevo I learn something new. Partly this is because the scientific knowledge about these beasts is evolving all the time and partly it is because the docents are awesome and tell their stories in very individual ways. So they will emphasize a new aspect of the elephant seal behavior, its colony, or the park itself that will be surprising and new. That is a state park at its best — gorgeous landscape, wild weather, unusual critters and amazing storytelling that informs and inspires.
These tours also run like clockwork with many moving parts, thanks to a great DPR staff team, a wonderful local partner, and fabulous docents. CSPF drove the restoration partnership for the Marine Education Center there and I could not be more proud of our part in this park. It is a gift that keeps on giving. The elephant seals are happy, the public gets a rich educational experience, and DPR staff gets the support it deserves.
So this Super Bowl weekend, maybe make a plan to get out to a state park near you! You could even make it back in time for the big game.
Thanks for all you do for state parks!

On Monday, we published our recommendation of Glen Robertson for City Council, District 1, on the first day of early voting for the May 8 city and school elections. He is running against former City Councilman Victor Hernandez and Rafael Gutierrez II.
Today we offer recommendations of the candidates we believe are best qualified for mayor, City Council, District 5, and two LISD trustees.
Lubbock mayor: Tom Martin. The incumbent is the choice, based on his experience and knowledge particularly of water and transportation issues. He's also in touch with people's feelings on what they want to spend on city infrastructure and quality-of-life projects.
Cody Smart, one of his three opponents, is an engaging, enthusiastic and forward-thinking graduate student at Texas Tech, but does not have Mr. Martin's experience.
Neither of Mr. Martin's other two challengers, political activist Roger Settler or Texas Tech physics professor Richard Quade, have mounted what we consider credible campaigns. The fact Mr. Martin did not draw higher-profile or more heavily financed competition can be taken as a vote of confidence in his leadership the past two years.
City Council, District 5: Karen Gibson to fill the seat currently occupied by City Councilman John Leonard, who did not seek re-election. Mrs. Gibson, a small-business co-owner, hopes to make city government friendly to small businesses and more open to the residents of her district.
The other candidate, Stephan Lampman, a West Lubbock business owner, has run unsuccessfully for the post several times on campaigns of limiting the role of city government.
LISD at-large trustee, four-year term: Steve Massengale. The incumbent has earned re-election based on his dedication to enriching the academic experience at LISD, which has earned him broad support and respect across the business and education communities.
His challenger is write-in candidate Richard Quade, a Texas Tech physics professor who's also running for Lubbock mayor.
LISD at-large trustee, two-year term: Melissa Collier, an accountant and mother of two children, who believes LISD has the tools and resources to provide an equal and excellent education to all students, but feels she can help it be better.
The other candidate, Boyd Goodloe, youth minister at First United Methodist Church, is running as a certified but unintended write-in candidate after a glitch in filing of paperwork resulted in his not being eligible to have his name placed on the ballot. If he is unsuccessful this time, he would be a candidate worthy of consideration should he choose to seek office at a later date.

Originally, Como had only eight classrooms, including one kindergarten room which is now a pre-kindergarten room near the main entrance. The school had a big stage where students would perform plays and other activities. There was also a little office for the principal and one for the nurse.

Tacoma, Wash. – This Sunday marks daylight saving time which means shorter days and darker commutes by bike. That doesn't have to mean less riding! Downtown On the Go wants to shed some light on commuting by handing out free bike lights on Nov. 2, 2017 at Light Up Your Ride from 4:30- 6:30 p.m. on the Prairie Line Trail (17th & Pacific).
Whether riding a bike at night or in dreary weather; a front light and back reflector can make all the difference in safety. Come and enjoy hot chocolate and learn the best tips and tricks from seasoned Tacoma bike commuters. Thank you to GeoEngineers for sponsoring this year's event.
While on the Prairie Line Trail, explore the newly opened segment connecting the University of Washington Tacoma section to Dock Street and the Esplanade. Extending the Prairie Line Trail to The Water Flume Line Trail is on the Downtown On the Go Bicycle Advocacy Agenda. This would link to local business and create a more connected and equitable transportation network.
The Prairie Line Trail section that opened this fall will be perfect for visiting the November Bike to a Business: Foss Waterway Seaport. When you bike to this museum you can buy one ticket get one free. Our Bike to a Business program is designed to support local businesses and help get people moving around town without their cars.

Boat tours are usually considered to be very touristy and not as eventful as some other attractions when traveling. But sometimes, they're pretty relaxing if the weather is perfect and there aren't many people on your boat. Thankfully, that's what happened when we went on a boat tour in Singapore. My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew joined us on the tour as we took in Singapore at a glance.
Check out our photos from our time around the marina:

The expanding real estate world of movie stardom: It's not only Beverly Hills and New York that the year's best actors call home
If you ever fantasize about ascending to movie star fame and fortune, your imagined lifestyle probably takes one of two forms. Maybe you live in a mansion in Beverly Hills or Hollywood Hills, lounging away your days beside your ridiculously large pool, sipping martinis with your fabulous friends. Or your primary residence is in Manhattan, with access to the best of everything, including the hippest nightclubs, which are right around the corner.
But judging from this year's list of Oscar nominees for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, that real estate script isnt being followed so neatly. Of the 19 nominees in the four acting categories, only six live full time in Southern California or New York City.
Indeed, after the Academy Awards ceremony on February 24, the majority of the coveted statuettes could be packed up and shipped abroad. Ten nominees have their primary residences overseas, primarily in Europe and the U.K. Marion Cotillard ("La Vie en Rose") lives in France; Javier Bardem ("No Country for Old Men") is Spanish; and Tilda Swinton ("Michael Clayton") calls Scotland home. Australias double nominee, Cate Blanchett ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age" and"Im Not There"), eschews Hollywood for Sydney.
Johnny Depp ("Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street") and Daniel Day-Lewis ("There Will Be Blood") share nods for Best Actor and dual residency: Depp and partner Vanessa Paradis live primarily in Paris and the south of France, while Day-Lewis and his wife, Rebecca Miller, own properties in Litchfield County, Conn., in addition to living in Ireland.
For those who hew to the classic celebrity lifestyle, however, Hollywood and Manhattan remain the favorite choices. George Clooney (Michael Clayton) has an eight-bedroom Tudor above Laurel Canyon in the Hollywood Hills. (When he needs an escape, hes got an Italian villa.) Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild) and his wife, Dixie Carter, own in that most famous of ZIP codes, 90210. Their Beverly Hills home is valued by Cyberhomes at $3.27 million.
That's Where I Want to Be
In the Neighborhood:
Beverly Grove Drive
Price: $4.45 million
Size: 4,000 square feet
Rooms: 4 bed, 4 bath
Special features: Restored and expanded version of a 1962 Buff/Straub/Hensman original; pool; media room with bath
For more info: www.lane4realestate.com
So what does it mean to own in Beverly Hills? The median home value is about $2.5 million, and 70 percent of the residents are homeowners. The nearly 24,000 residents have an average age approaching 47 years old. Beverly Hillers have ready access to shops on Rodeo and arent terribly far from the clubs of Sunset Strip. And their per-capita income, as you might expect, is more than triple the national average (almost $84,000, compared with the U.S. average of about $24,000).
Chris Ginther, agent with Hilton & Hyland Christies Great Estates, points out that areas like Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills and Bel-Air have universal appeal. If you drive through these neighborhoods, you cant not like them, Ginther says, citing the distinctive architecture, amazing views and party vibe as key ingredients in the allure. Everyone would love living there, but whats unique about the upper echelons of the entertainment industry is that they can actually afford to. Hilton & Hylands current listings range up to $50 million.
Such extremely high costs reflect, in part, the value placed on location and architectural provenance. "Fine architecture is almost equivalent to fine art," says Ginther, who has a masters degree in architecture and urban planning from UCLA. And no developer in the San Fernando Valley can recreate the setting and history of Hollywoodits unique.
Up the road from Beverly Hills live Casey Affleck ("The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford") and his wife, Summer Phoenix. They own two million-plus properties in the Mulholland Drive area. Mulholland isn't nearly as glitzy; the median home price is right around $1 million. But it's hilly and more rugged feeling, and most everyone still has a swimming pool. Mulholland dwellers are younger, too, an average of almost 41 years old. Affleck himself is 32.
If They Can Make It Here ...
In the Neighborhood:
1 Morton Square (condo)
Price: $2.35 million
Size: 1,600 square feet
Rooms: 2 bed, 2.5 bath
Special features: Center hall split; great light; private concierge and valet service
For more info: www.elliman.com/dks
New York claims three of this years nominees. Not all live in the city Ruby Dee ("American Gangster") is a longtime resident of Westchester County. The inveterate urban dwellers are Amy Ryan ("Gone Baby Gone") and Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Charlie Wilsons War"), both of whom inhabit the West Village.
Hoffman lives in a penthouse apartment of a 45-unit building where the median value ranges from $800,000 to more than $2 million. Cyberhomes values his unit at a little over $1 million. Those values are in sync with the neighborhood averages. Home ownership is less prevalent in the West Village, with fewer than a quarter of the residents owning their property. Hoffman is in the majority, however, when it comes to marital status. Like him, about 75 percent of his neighbors are unmarried.
No other part of the city has the West Villages mystique, according to Darren Sukenik, executive vice president and managing director of Prudential Douglas Elliman in Downtown Manhattan. Sukenik, himself a West Village resident, says the neighborhood has an urban feel but decidedly European polish. The high-end real estate available, coupled with little pedestrian traffic, make it feel very private and thus quite attractive to movie stars as well as titans of industry. "You're not going to see anyone from Ohio sitting on top of a double-decker bus pointing at your house," Sukenik says.
And then there are the brave stars who orbit universes far from New York trendy or California cool. Laura Linney ("The Savages"), for instance, owns a home in far northern Connecticut, in Salisbury. In fact, Linney lives close to where Day-Lewis spends some of his leisure time. The median home value here is about $425,000. There are only about 4,000 residents in Salisbury, an upscale rural retreat where celebrities arent likely to be hassled.
Tommy Lee Jones ("In the Valley of Elah") and his wife live in Terrell Hills, a community northeast of San Antonio. (They also reportedly have a ranch near Austin.) Terrell Hills has about 5,000 residents cozy like Salisbury but homes here are more affordable. The median price is a decidedly un-Hollywood $300,000.

There is more information on their website about the yearly limits to giving.

File this one under "long shot."
In an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show last night to hype his new ABC reality show "Splash," former UCLA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told Kimmel that he "certainly would be interested" in being the next coach of the Bruins.
But his reasons weren't limited to returning UCLA to the basketball glory that he was so familiar with in Westwood. Apparently, academic reform would be up there on his list of to-do's, if he was named coach.
"It would be great to have an opportunity to restore the program to what is was, not in terms necessarily of winning, but having guys get their degrees and learn how to play the game of basketball," Abdul-Jabbar said.
"UCLA is still putting out fine scholars, but the basketball program has suffered a little bit. To restore that part of the tradition would be great."
Abdul-Jabbar should probably stick to diving (or not). Even Kimmel seemed to think so.
"You're not getting the job with talk like that," the host said. "They want winning over there."
For what it's worth, Abdul-Jabbar has coached a bit in the past, as a special assistant to Phil Jackson and as head coach of the Oklahoma Storm of the USBL. Still, something tells me that UCLA won't be canvassing network reality shows for its next coach any time soon.
