Discover turbulent histories and incredible scenery of Guernsey and Jersey
You are viewing the 2019 itinerary
Itineraries and pricing may vary by departure year
The stunning Channel Islands dot the sea between England's south coast and France, and boast some of the most beautiful beaches that the U.K. has to offer. Discover the turbulent histories and the incredible scenery of Guernsey and Jersey.
Meet your Tour Manager in London Waterloo today, where we board the train that takes us directly to Bournemouth. Here, we transfer to our hotel where we overnight. On Day 2, we transfer to the ferry terminal after breakfast, and sail over to the beautiful island of Guernsey, where there has been human settlements since around 5000 BC. This afternoon is at leisure to settle into your surroundings before we enjoy dinner at the hotel tonight.
Please note: For Departure CAS1901 we will spend 2 nights in Guernsey and 4 nights in Jersey. Departure CAS1904 stays at the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel.
We take a half-day familiarisation tour of Guernsey. This pretty island originally belonged to France, but was put in control of the Normans, who then took over England, thus the island changed hands. One of the most famous sights of Guernsey is Castle Cornet, which was once a tidal island before its natural bridge was cut off from the mainland.
The castle has been used as an important fortification and was also a Royalist stronghold in the Civil War, despite Guernsey itself supporting Parliament. On Day 4, we journey over to Herm, a tiny island to the east of Guernsey. Herm is filled with amazing sandy coves and is a truly wonderful place to spend the day.
After a morning at leisure in Guernsey, we travel over to Jersey, an island with a long and, at times tumultuous, history. On arrival we transfer to our hotel, where we are at leisure until dinner this evening. On Day 6, we take a full island tour. The largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey is surrounded by stunning blue waters and fringed with pristine sandy beaches.
We go back in time today, to World War II, visiting the war tunnels from when Jersey was under Nazi occupation. The occupation lasted from 1940 to the end of the war, and the tunnels themselves were built by prisoners of war from all around the world. Here, you learn about Jersey under the Nazi's, and the brave resistance of the Jersey nationals.
You have a day at leisure in Jersey. After lunch we transfer to the ferry terminal and sail back to Poole. From here, we transfer back to our hotel. On Day 9, we make our way to the railway station and join the service back to London where our tour comes to an end.
Provisional departure and return times, where available, can be found together with our dates and prices by clicking on the 'Prices & Availability' button.

This is a surprisingly touching video clip from a hidden camera show, looking to gauge bystander's reactions to public displays of homophobia and whether people would stand up for the gay family.
This particular clip takes place in Texas, which is stereotypically a more homophobic region of the US.. but this clip shows us that just isn't true.
You may want to grab a kleenex .. or maybe even a whole box.

Nursing is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do as a mom, and yet, I experienced a sadness each time when it was over, even though I some ways I felt like I had anticipated this moment from the time my daughters were each born.
Weaning marks a new freedom in your life, but also an additional separation between you and your baby. It's normal and natural and good, but it can also be sad, especially so if this child is the last time you'll get to experience the closeness of the mom/baby nursing relationship.
What can really complicate this already very sunrise/sunset moment is hormones. (Don't they complicate everything? Geez.) Hormones are added and subtracted each time we cycle, get pregnant, have a baby, miscarry, start nursing, decrease nursing, or cease nursing. Each event kind of creates a trainwreck of the old mix of hormones making their way out while the new mix is making its way in, and that can make you feel pretty crazy, especially if you're under any other additional stressors at the time.
There are some things you can do to help minimize the impact of the just the hormonal ups and downs. If there are additional things going on in your life while you are weaning, these tips may not help by themselves. You may need to talk to someone or seek some other solutions until things settle down in your life or until you adjust. But if you don't have additional stress, try ideas for helping your body adjust to your new hormonal normal.
- Get exercise. When you wean, you're suddenly deprived of oxytocin, that life-giving hormone that also carries with it a serious natural high. One way to get some of that high again is through exercise. New recommendations by some experts indicate that the average person needs not just 30 minutes a day, but an hour. And if you can get that exercise outdoors, even better. Sunlight and natural vitamin D are great for your immune system and your mood. I stay motivated to exercise by making it me-time. No double jogging strollers for me, thanks. I like to go it alone and have some time each day where I only have to worry about me.
- Breathe properly. Many times when we are feeling stress, the shoulders tighten, our chest tightens, and we end up hunched over and closed up. Focus on sitting with your shoulders back and chest open. Breathe deeply for a count of 5 or 8. Focus on your breath and nothing else. Here are 6 great breathing exercises that can help de-stress you. Encourage your kids to participate if they are with you and you need a moment.
- Don't lean on sugar and caffeine to prop your mood up. It's tempting to reach for a cup of coffee and comfort food when we feel down, but sugar can mess with hormones in a bad way. Make sure you're eating enough protein and healthy fats, and try to keep processed foods to a minimum.
- Regulate your sleep. Sleep has a huge impact on mood and energy levels, but you probably didn't need a blog to tell you that. Try to go to bed and wake at about the same time every day—even on weekends—and turn off electronics about two hours before bedtime. Dimming lights and eliminating screen time before bed will help everyone in your home transition to bedtime easier.
- Encourage the production of oxytocin. You can help wean your body off those big hits of oxytocin you used to get through nursing by giving it smaller hits. You get small doses of oxytocin released from your brain when you hug, snuggle, kiss, or cuddle with your kids and other loved ones. Oxytocin is also released when we spend time with our women friends, too. You heard it here first—girls' night, doctor's orders!
If you feel "off" during or after weaning and just can't seem to recover your mood, talk to your doctor, midwife or doula, naturopath, or a counselor. There may be additional things you can do to help that don't involve medication, but sometimes medication is a very helpful option, too.
Every mom's journey is different, even the same individual with different children, so give yourself the space and grace to work through this time without judgment for how you get through it.

What Do Urban Trends Mean for Banks?
A recent article by John Engen for American Banker manages a lot of tasks. First comes the work of citing the relevant facts regarding the trend of migration toward U.S. urban centers. To do so, Engen cites the growth of urban centers around the country between the years 2010 and 2012: "In total, 16 of the 20 largest U.S. cities experienced growth rates faster than their surrounding suburbs between 2010 and 2012, according to census data."
Then Engen goes on to describe the implications fo the trend to the business decisions of banks—not only where and how to invest, but how to structure the bricks and mortar assets of business operations. "For banks, the budding movement of people and businesses to the cities is playing out against a backdrop of sluggish economic growth, harsher regulatory oversight, rapid technological change and earnings pressure. Cost controls are a priority, which dovetails nicely with the behavior of younger city dwellers, who generally are comfortable accessing their banks online or via mobile devices rather than visiting branches.," writes Engen. Engen quotes a variety of executives and analysts on the subject of how urbanization might influence future practices of the banking industry. Some examples:
- "'Whatever growth we're seeing in cities clearly matters less than it would have a decade ago, simply because of the adoption of digital channels,' says David Stein, executive vice president and head of retail banking for Green Bay, Wisc.-based Associated Banc-Corp, which competes in Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee."
- "Clayton Baker, head of consumer financial advisory services for Ernst & Young, acknowledges the recent bump in urban populations but says he knows of no set 'urban strategy' for banks, no blueprint to follow for success. Banking is banking, to a certain extent. 'There isn't just a model you can overlay on an urban market,' he says."
- "'We put out a caution to our lenders two years ago: When it comes to multifamily, you've got to be very careful,' says Joseph Hoesley, vice chairman for commercial real estate at U.S. Bancorp, which has been lending to more city projects in recent years."

"Butch- just re-book me on this fishing trip every year — for the rest of my life!" Dave Crispens
Prince of Wales Island is a pristine sportsman's paradise in southeast Alaska. It is reached via a half hour floatplane ride from Ketchikan, or by ferry. A fisherman could fish his whole life here and never begin to sample all the opportunities. The options and variety are truly mind boggling. Rivers, ponds, lakes, streams, bays- the list is a long one and hundreds of miles of inland and Ocean water await you. We have been to this location six times and plan to keep returning. OOOPS – make that 7 times as Joan and I just spent our 49th anniversary there, fishing with 6 good friends in Aug 2014.On our three best days, we probably caught 12 to 20 pink salmon per person per hour! In other words we fought 3 to 6 pound fish most of each hour! Sore arms and wrists. Then switch to silvers for 7 to 14 pounders, then pull the crab and shrimp pots to eat! Tough life!
A hunter could also spend his entire life here too, and never begin to touch all the opportunities. This is a hunter's nirvana; the limit is FOUR Sitka black tail deer and you can also hunt for the giant Island Class of black bear. The bears here equal those on Vancouver Island, but you pay 1/5th or less to hunt them here! So, if you can put the fishing rod down, the hunting is spectacular. Very unpopulated Island, the second biggest in the US, 150 miles long and 50 miles wide, and you're rarely are in competition with others and quite often you'll never see another human. Also no brown bears, so no threats to your well being, which is a plus.
If you take the 25 minute bush plane flight to the Island from Ketchikan, (which is the route most clients prefer), you'll will land at the dock, be met and be escorted to your cabin, along with your luggage. The cabins(really they are much more like nice apartments) are just five minutes away. It doesn't get any easier. You are briefed during an orientation, given maps, a detailed list of places and directions to fish, are loaned a vehicle for your use and provided with a boat and motor and crab traps and shrimp pots.. All you pay for is the gas. Dungeness crab makes a wonderful dinner!
Buy your food on arrival. There's a store within a 5 minute drive, although there is a much larger grocery store in Klawock with better pricing (near Craig). The dock where your boat is moored is within walking distance, too. Your reservation includes lodging, a 4 wd vehicle, a boat, a boat trailer, a fish-finder with chart plotter, crab pots and maps- all for a very reasonable price. Hunt and/or fish to your hearts content! WE have brought back 100 pounds of delicious halibut on our trip. Halibut currently sells for $19 – $25 per pound! That $1,900 worth of halibut paid for the trip! And this doesn't count the awesome seafood consumed on premises. Our friends brought back 40 pounds of smoked salmon, and about 60 pounds of salmon and halibut and crab and shrimp each! The lodging is first class, very nice, clean and comfortable. The layout includes a covered front porch, kitchen area, living room area, separate bedrooms (two-bedroom units per cabin) and a private bathroom. There are 9 units in all.
Other amenities included with these packages are:
|Full Kitchen
Range with oven
Full size refrigerator
Coffee Maker
Pots & Pans, crockery, etc.
Slow Cooker
TV with DVD player
DVD Collection
Lounge with Pool Table
Computer for guest use

These boats have a greater range than the skiffs and will expand your fishing territory and providing cover from the elements for a more comfortable fishing day. Either one of these boats can be added to a package for $2000.00 per week in lieu of having a skiff. That is just $500/man for a party of 4.
There are now also available a 21 foot and a 23' boat. The 21 foot boat as part of your package costs $2000 (so about $500 per person assuming a party of 4. The 23 foot is the same $2000 upgrade. Here is its equipment list.

It is common to stand on a bridge in July and August, look over the side and see thousands of salmon! If you don't see fish, move! If the fish are non-responsive- move upstream or down or try another stream!
Freshwater species include steelhead, silver (Coho) salmon, chum, pink, sockeye salmon, dolly varden and cutthroat trout. Salt water species include halibut, king (Chinook) salmon (June and July), silvers and pinks (July-Sept), ling cod, yellow eyed rockfish, black rockfish, regular codfish and much more. In general, salmon fishing starts in saltwater in May and June, then moves into the streams as the season progresses.But salt water produces all season long.
SILVERS – (Coho) are best in August and Sept, but we know of a secret place we will share if you where there are huge runs of feisty silvers in July! One of our all time favorites, especially for less experienced stream anglers, is the pink salmon that run beginning July through August. Catching 50-100 pink salmon of 3 to 6 pounds in a day on light tackle is routine! Silvers are available on the north end of the island at the same time. Sockeyes run in June and July
CHUM- salmon are available from mid-July thru August. Halibut is best from May to September and trout are waiting almost anytime
SOCKEYE – Sockeye are a blast and they are there from early June- early July, however they are tough to catch in the Thorne, The best streams for fishing them are not as easy to access as the lower Thorne so I like to throw in that disclaimer. We usually fly fish for them and they do bite (most people in other places floss them- floating hooks into their mouths as they breathe…a form of cheating to a purist) That being said a day fishing them is one to remember and I would focus on the first week or two of July that way you can add some other species for a variety. This way you do not have to access the tougher rivers every day….. you can mix it up with some easier access places as well. I highly recommend a guide for the Sockeye as well at least for the first day. Guides might want to take people in via canoe so you can get to some great places higher up the river. There are some other rivers that are great for sockeye as well.
SILVERS – Silvers in the salt water is good the beginning of July. NECK LAKE RUN OF SILVERS – June until mid-August. This is up near Whale Pass.and can have wonderful silver fishing.
KINGS- Do not generally run the POW rivers, so you fish them in salt. Prime time is late June and July..
You can easily combine spring bear hunting with steelhead and trout fishing. In the fall, add salmon, trout, steelhead and deer (deer opens Aug. 15; Sept. 1 for bear) to the fishing.
The housing accommodations are very clean, modern and are comfortable condo type set-ups with one or two bedrooms and individual bathrooms for each unit.
Just to give you an idea of the fishing, in August 2005 Butch and Joan and three other couples fished here. They took a charter the first day with our favorite skipper based from the Lodge. The group boated 250 pounds of halibut in a half day of fishing! Best was a 105-pound brute landed by Butch. Next day, Butch and several others stream fished. Once the right combination was found, they caught about 20 pink salmon per angler per hour on light fly tackle! They repeated that every day! Silvers required you to work a bit more, but once you found the right combination and drift they were equally cooperative. The other half of the party jumped in the new 16-foot Lunds powered by smooth-running 25-hp Yamaha four-strokes, sped out to the saltwater and caught halibut, lingcod, rockfish, silvers and pinks. Then it was time to pull the shrimp pots. With each lift we were rewarded with 10 – 15 pounds of giant shrimp that made for incredible hors devours for the night's meal. The crab pots were equally full. The first night's menu included fried halibut soaked in beer and rolled in pancake mix. The next night was fresh salmon. Salmon were on the menu next night too with an appetizer of boiled shrimp. Lastly, Dungeness crab dipped in butter completed our seafood binge. It doesn't get any better! We repeated this in 2014 on our most recent trip there!
Butch videoed thousands of spawning salmon cruising under bridge and there wasn't a one person fishing! From past trips, we know that are many secluded ponds within a short hike that are teaming with a variety of trout. All this can be had for well under $1000 per person! Unbelievable! If kings are your target of choice, target the saltwater in June and July. Call Butch for his tackle suggestions. All this with a backdrop of gorgeous sea side and mountain scenery. On return trips in August of 2007 and 2009, the results were similar and Butch discovered some new silver salmon streams with so many fish you could almost walk across the river on them.
There is also a hot tub with adjacent bar-b-cue at the main lodge. There is a common area for use by large groups for socializing and cookouts. There are crab boilers and a bar-b-cue. Recently they have added laundry facilities to each unit of sufficient size to allow them. Clothing wise, expect temperatures from 50 to 70 degrees. Two sets of shirts and pants will do, along with a good set of rain gear and a warm sweater and/or jacket. A small tackle shop is available at the lodge complete with free use of about 20 freshwater spinning rods and a similar number of saltwater rods and some downrigger rods. Pay only for tackle lost or used up. An honor system applies in the tackle shop- just write it down, settle up at the end! Wonderful.
The lodge has meat and fish processing and freezing facilities including stainless and fiiberglass counters. Freezing and vacuum packing can be provided for about a dollar tp $1.50 per pound ( or bring your own sealer). Or they will simply freeze it to save you a few bucks.. A fish smoker is available also. Advice is free, just walk over to the main lodge and ask. Guides for stream or charter-boat fishing are available on request, but be sure to reserve their services well in advance of when you'll need them.
You may want to add a charter for salt-water fishing for a day. The cost is approximately $1,100 per day, which is very affordable when split among four anglers. Taking home 30 to 50 pounds of fresh halibut filletsand tasty rockfish is a real treat that you'll be able to savor for months after your trip. (The halibut limit is one fish per person when on a charter, but two if you fish from your own boat. You will also catch cod, various rockfish and lingcod, a ferocious fighter that grows to 50 pounds.)
It's a given that you'll see seals, killer whales, sea otters, bald eagles and snow-covered mountains. Based along the famed Inside Passage, this is some of the world's most scenic country. An unbeatable experience! We also suggest you consider adding extra days. The cost is negligible and once you're there you'll want to extend your visit. Personally, we prefer at least seven nights and six days and even then, a week seems to fly by.

ISLAND BLACK BEARS: (this is the new classification by SCI due to their huge sizes) No brown bear exist on this island- so safety is not a real issue.
Joan took a 7'2" black bear here in May of '98. And a number of our DIY clients here have also taken giant 7 footers. POW is home to an enormous population of "ISLAND BLACK BEARS". SCI established this new category- Island Black Bears, because Vancouver Island and POW Island bears average so much larger than most BLACKIES! BUT- if you go to Vancouver Island, a guided Island black bear hunt is $6500 and UP! Go TO POW for 80% less then that!!! They avoid roads but you likely will see some while driving. Butch saw 6 in Aug of 2014 on his trip there.
Many Pope and Young bears are taken here and seven-foot B&C bears are regularly taken, especially with a little extra effort. Even 8 footers happen. Several authorities have said it this Island has the largest black bear population in the US. Sightings of both bear and Sitka blacktails are commonplace while driving and fishing. Best bear hunting requires some effort to get off the beaten path- and boating to an area and then walking the hundreds of miles of old roads is good! You can hunt Spring or Fall. Spring bear is nearly 100% opportunity -fall varies from 60-90%, but fall also has awesome fishing. YOU MUST APPLY ON LINE FOR BEAR PERMITS! APPLY BETWEEN Nov 1 and Dec 17. The island is Part of Unit 2 for application purposes. SEE: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/license/huntlicense/pdfs/2013-2014_draw_supplement.pdf
THE NEW BEAR RULES: Our understanding, but check the regs, is that you can again hunt using vehicles, but now you must draw a bear tag. We think odds of drawing are very high. If in doubt on how to apply or proceed call ADFG.
The Alaska Fish & Game's Drawing Permit Hunt Supplement states that the POW bear hunts (POW Bear Hunt DL027 –sept-dec; and DL028 – jan 1-june 30)) will be a draw for both Spring and Fall in 2013/14. In Unit 2 there are 80 permits available for 2014 Spring Black Bear (Jan 01 – Jun 30 time period) and 30 permits for 2013 Fall Black Bears (Sept 01 -Dec 31). Rhonda at Alaska Dept of Wildlife Conservation in Craig (907) 826-2561 says DL027 refers to the Fall 2013 hunt. AND DL028 refers to the Spring hunt.
BEAR Application period is Nov 01, – Dec 17, roughly!! – with draw results @ end of Feb. Permits are normally sent out in JULY! That means if you want to hunt spring bear you would apply over a year in advance- so for a 2014 Spring bear hunt you apply in Nov/DEC of 2012. If you miss that, then call Craig and ask about leftover tags. (Rhonda at Alaska Dept of Wildlife Conservation in Craig (907) 826-2561). We think there will be Spring leftovers! On line apps are t: https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=license.fgstore
The bag limit is one bear and a legal bear is any bear except cubs or females accompanied by cubs.
A wounded bear counts against your bag limit for the regulatory year. The skull (unfrozen and removed from the skin) and hide (with evidence of sex and claws attached) must be sealed within 30 days of the kill, except Unit 3 Kuiu Island. Permit hunt reports are due at the time of sealing. If unsuccessful or you did not hunt, you must return your completed hunt report within 15 days of close of season. Nonresident hunters hunting without a registered guide must have a drawing permit
You can hunt bear in either Spring or Fall, utilizing the spot and stalk method on a self-guided basis. GET OUT AND HUNT AROUND ANY GRASSY TIDAL FLATS or Timber Cuts. Find bear scat or sign and set up to watch. Or watch a grassy tidal flat or a beach or a clear cut with green grass, assuming there is sign! Do Not hunt where there is no sign!! Or break out your fawn bleats or predator calls and call a big bear into your lap!! In the fall, check one of the many streams where you find bear sign, fresh salmon and good green grass. Or boat into a remote area, climb to a clear cut and key in on glassing areas with lots of grass and berries. Make sure you're finding lot of sign- no bear sign; no bears- move on! With probably a hundred streams along this 150 mile long lightly populated island, there are tons of bears and places to look! Some feel this island has the densest black bear population in the world. Remember though that tides here can drop 20 feet leaving you high and dry so remember that when planning a stalk and beaching your boat.
In both spring and fall, try a predator call or fawn bleat. It can bring instant results that can be dynamite and very exciting! Bait station permits can easily be obtained from Alaska Game and Fish. Check on their web site. We think that the biggest boars claim their own beaches, and walking to remote beaches to them works well. There are more bears than beaches, so the biggest boars claim the best beaches (HINT!) A good Spring tactic is to get away from town, cruising until you hit a stream-then follow it up stream. Stick to the first mile of stream- if no sign- move along to another place. Or locate a clear cut, climb to it and post yourself on any good clear-cut with FRESH bear sign, grass and berries, or make up some bait sites and post on them (bait site rules and permits apply). In fall you can take up to 4 blacktails of the Sitka variety, plus a bear! Bears and deer; plus salmon, trout, halibut and other fishing. Maybe some fresh crabs too?
Hunt bears in April-June; or Sept-Nov. You hunt bears early and late, with afternoons preferred. Fish in the off time! Best steelhead in Spring is April 15th to May 20th.These are 8 to 20 pound plus sea run rainbows! In the fall the pink and silver salmon runs will boggle your mind. Butch and Joan were there in August 2005; August 2007 and August 2009– and caught several hundred pink salmon on flies and dozens of silvers! Plus some giant halibut!
I wrote up a story about my awesome hunting trip to POW, Alaska last fall that I booked through BMOA. I sent it in to North American Hunting Club and won their competition this year. The editor told me the story will be in the North American Hunter Magazine in the August issue. I just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to use the story for any promotion for your hunts or anything like that. I will send the link to the story your way when it is published. It will be online and in the magazine. Please feel free to send it to out to prospective clients from a BMOA client who was extremely satisfied with BMOA. Hopefully it is helpful. Thanks Butch!!! Jason Hatch
SITKA BLACKTAIL DEER: (season starts August 1st- limit of 4 bucks- closes Dec 31).
The island has a strong blacktail deer population, with a limit of 4 bucks per hunter (check for current regulations!). A large number of the top 100 blacktails in the books have come from here. One lady hunter took a record book Blacktail and a 7 foot blackie in the first week of Nov. a few years ago!
Best Blacktail hunting is early (Aug to early Sept.) and late. (Nov), but Nov. weather is less pleasant. Earlier deer are high, above 2500 feet, and require serious effort to reach. Best is to climb to timberline, then spike out for a night or two. Locals talk about seeing 20 to 70 bucks per day at that time of year in the mountain tops! If you do not want to spike out, then key on clear cuts, grassy strips and the lower mountaintops. From late October on, calling is extremely effective -expect shots to be from 15 to 75 yards in the dense growth, although occasional long shots happen. In the alpine areas in September, shots can be up to 400 yards. Bow hunters will enjoy the close encounters of calling. November will usually see deer on the beaches. Lots of deer here, that is why you can take four. Plan to work for the bigger ones of course! Bring your bleat and grunt calls, rattling horns too-very effective on the later hunts!! We found that the deer required you to get away from the roads and clear cuts that other people can drive to- get out and walk! Same with bear, especially bigger bear. Again, hunting is in GMU #2 Please review the regs!!
Our invoices do NOT reflect local and Alaska taxes due on arrival.
Those taxes are a 6% community tax on the trip price, a $35 vehicle rental tax and a $28 transient tax.
You will pay those with your final balance, directly to the outfitter.
You have two BASIC options – Choose either 6 nights or 7 nights. We recommend 7 nights as you will need some time to just get oriented and make plans. friday noon for all arrivals!
Once you decide which time option you want, then next decide on whether you want to hunt, or fish or do both. More on that below in the pricing section.
6 NIGHTS AND 5 DAYS – Arrive On A Friday, Depart On Thursday AM.
7 NIGHTS AND 6 DAYS (OUR FAVORITE ) Friday Arrival And Departure.
EXPLANATION: You are paying for the cottage— SO fewer folks ups the per person price, while more folks reduces it! In all there are 9 units, and sizes vary widely. See next page!.
Standard One Bedroom (Eagle, Wolf, Blacktail Cottages)
The Eagle & Wolf Cottages are one bedroom with a full living room, dining area, kitchen and a large covered front porch. The bedding arrangement is a twin over full bunk in the bedroom as well as a pullout couch in the living room making them comfortable for 3 people or more if there is a couple in the party. The Wolf and Eagle Cottages connect with a door that locks on each side, as well as a private exterior door of course. If you are a large party getting two cottages so you can be nearby each other rather than being spread across the Lodge, this might be a good plan. Perhaps if you have teenagers, you might want two cottages so they have more room, and you will have two of everything…TVs, Kitchens, bathrooms, etc. but you will be able to supervise the kids and make sure they're tucked in safe and sound. This would also be good for a group that wants to be closer so they can share meals and have more living space. Whatever the case, these two cottages can be used separate or together.

BUTCH: Just got back from the trip. Wow! That was awesome. Can't thank you enough for leading us in the right direction. Everything about the outfitter exceeded our expectations. Fishing was great with 50# ling cod and a 100# halibut. Bear hunting was challenging but we got our bears. It took us a while to figure out what we were doing. Thanks again and I will be rebooking next month along with some very jealous friends that couldn't go this year!! Kris
FLIGHTS: Plane tickets and hunting and fishing licenses –not included in price! Alaska Airlines out of Seattle is the only airline that provides service to Ketchikan from the lower 48. Alaska Airlines phone: 800-445-4435. From Ketchikan there are several floatplane outfits THAT FLY RIGHT FROM THE MAIN AIRPORT in Ketchikan into POW. But make your float plane reservations far in advance! Simply contact the Lodge and they will make the reservation for you. Email them your itinerary so they can coordinate it. You usually pay the float plane operator on arrival in Ketchikan or earlier.
IN lieu of the float plane you can also take a local ferry can be used to access POW from Ketchikan- it is about a 3 hour mini cruise to Hollis on POW. Cost is about $37/person each way, plus a $100 pickup fee charged by the lodge. To arrange this local ferry go to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Fun little boat trip- sip coffee in the window lounge, eat a cheeseburger, watch the scenery!!
Another way to get from the lower 48 to Ketchikan is to take a Ferry out of the State of Washington- turns it into a 3 day cruise-about $600/person with great meals. For the ferry cruise from Seattle to Ketchikan – go to: www.akferry.org.
Before arriving in Ketchikan you should have already sent us or the outfitter your itinerary, so the outfitter can make your reservations for the float plane. Again, the Lodge will make the reservation for you, you pay for it though. The float plane counter is right by your luggage pickup area. The float plane will take you to Thorne Bay. Cost is about $250/ person, round trip from Ketch to POW and back. Normally it is Pacific Air that is used, but it can vary. There are several floatplanes that fly to Thorne Bay, POW. Pacific Airways (877-360-3500).Another is Pro-Mech (800-860-3845). Cost is about $250/person, round trip.
You normally will fly out on the float planes to the Lodge the same day you fly into Ketch. Or- you may prefer to overnight in Ketchikan, (we always do this!) — where you can also see the Indian museum (a must see as it shows you just how unique the area really is), buy maps or licenses or tackle, tour the many neat little shops lining the River walk (walk behind them and see the salmon runs!), and get some great meals. We stayed at the older Gilmore (907) 225-9423) – awesome food and a great bar- with the best local sporting goods store in town right across the street– buy your licenses right there! We also have stayed at the Best Western (Landings) in Ketchikan (800-423-8304). Wherever you stay, make sure they will shuttle you down to the ferry or floatplane. You may NOT arrive at lodge before 1PM. You Must depart lodge by 10AM!
SALTWATER FISHERS: For kings- June and, July out in the boats is great. Silvers start in June, best saltwater is in August before they run streams in Sept. Halibut- May-October- same with other bottom fish. Halibut spawn AUG/SEPT-biggest fish then. Work the mouth of the Bay and all high spots (high meaning 200 feet or less surrounded by much deeper water. Bring some Vike jigs or Crippled herring jigs in the 12 to 16 ounce size.(Buy them on line by looking up their web sites—or buy them on POW and save the excess baggage charges)! Chrome seems best, white is good. Add some salmon belly or herring for smell-jig it 2-3 turns off bottom. Or troll flashers or spoons on flat lines and off downriggers for salmon. Sweeten with some meat -helps. Mooching works well with herring. Herring can be purchased locally for around $5 per dozen. The lodge has an excellent 26' charter boat. We strongly suggest contacting us to book at least day with him!! They will box your catch too. And vacuum seal it for a fee.
FRESHWATER FISHERS: See chart below this write up for general best dates. Be aware that different streams have runs at different times- peak in one stream may not be peak elsewhere! And some streams are noted for early runs, others for late runs. If fishing is slow, try a different stream system!! Silvers are strongest from Late Aug thru out Sept. – Sept is best. But one stream- Neck Lake Outlet has strong runs starting in July! Pinks (Humpies) are awesome in July/August- 3 to 6 pound scrappers- we prefer a bobber or strike indicator with a size 6 or 8 weighted purple or black egg sucking leech 20-24" below the dropper. That is THE lure and fly! If spinning- use a bubble and the same rig and fly. Flies to be lightly weighted- fish it like a worm and a bobber- avoids snagging fish every cast!!
Also good for silvers are Size 3,4 and 5 Blue Fox (super vibrax) spinners in shiny silver and fluorescent colors; Mepps the same colors and sizes. Pixee spoons good. Most streams are not real deep- 2' to 6'- size lures accordingly. We suggest spin reels with top notch drags- no crap. Use 10 to 14 pound line, run some fluorocarbon 3' long leaders in 8 to 12 pound. Tie a ball bearing swivel to main line, then tie in the leader. On end of leader use a BALL BEARING swivel-fail to do that and line will twist miserably with spinners! For pinks- both fly fishers and spin fishers- fish purple egg sucking leeches in sizes 4, 6 and 8. Fish with a bobber or float indicators-2' of line below bobber or indicator in most streams-but experiment.. Weighted flies or add shot. Steelhead-all the usual flies, egg patterns, skunks, leeches etc in fluorescent and dark colors-most of these will work on silvers, although silvers like contrasting colors on their patterns. Size 5 or 6 wt. rods for pinks, 6 to 8 weight for silvers and steelies. Floating lines best, bring a sink tip. Bring these flies: black and purple egg sucking leeches in sizes 4-8 )–other colors will work- this works best!); glo-bugs in sizes 6 to 10; a glo bug with white maribou); green butt skunk in sizes 2-6; flesh fly in sizes 2-6; some muddlers in yellow marabou and some with coneheads in sizes 2-4; deer hair mouse for big rainbows in sizes 2-4; gold ribbed hares ear in 10-16 for trout and grayling; same sizes in an Adams dry fly. Beads work well too as an egg type fly or lure.
King Salmon (20-60 lbs), June – July (Kings do not run POW streams-salt water fishery best done with a charter or you can try your own boat.)
Silver Salmon (6-15 lbs), July – September- first in saltwater, then into freshwater
Chum Salmon (8 – 18 lbs), July – August
Sockeye Salmon (6 – 12 lbs), July -August
Pink Salmon (2-5 lbs), July – Aug. – incredible numbers of fish!!
Rainbow Trout (12 – 30″), June – Sept
Steelhead- April-May; Oct-Dec. These fish can exceed 20 pounds!!
Halibut – May-Sept (biggest fish will come on charters-chickens in shallower water w/your boats.
Trout- There are dolly vardens, cuts, brookies, grayling and rainbows in many lake, ponds and streams-excellent fishing if you will walk a half-mile or more!
MEAT RECOVERY: Spring bear hunters must recover all meat from bears up to June 1st after that it does not matter- but check for current regulations!! If you leave even a half pound of wasted meat on a carcass- you can expect a $1000 fine or maybe much more! Make sure you recover all neck meat, all rib meat, meat strips on inside of rib cage etc, if bear is killed before June1. Go to www.wildlife.alaska.gov. -to get the web site with all the regs. They inspect almost every kill site they can!! And they ask where you killed! In Spring you MUST recover bear meat- check regs for rules and dates of mandatory recovery of meat. Fall bears- no. At all times: you must recover hide and skull for sealing on bears- get it done! If you get it to the alpine areas for deer- pare the meat down tight to the bone-get all the rib, neck and backstraps. Read the regs! Ignorance costs you a bunch of cash! A boned out buck will weigh around 60-70 pounds, plus horns and cape. You cannot remove horns from kill site until ALL meat is removed, or cart it all out together. A buddy can help!
BEAR HUNTERS: Expect rain – bring camo gore-tex-although Gore-tex will leak if rain is heavy. For just sitting, Butch likes the olive drab rubberized Helly Hansen bib and jacket set!!. But walking in it will soak you as it does not breathe! Bring fawn bleat calls, a bleat in a can or a blow type call; bring a predator call). Set up where you will not be surprised at close quarters. Assuming it is not September- Call if you jump a bear on road- hide the car! MOST IMPORTANT DO NOT EVEN BEGIN HUNTING UNTIL YOU FIND GOOD BEAR SIGN!! anything else is a waste of time!! Look for grass in spring and in fall look for berries and fish in fall! We think by Sept bigger bears are in woods looking for berries and off the fish- BUT CHECK both places. Huge bear population-but you have to make it happen-be aggressive. Late evening is best. Early AM is decent, but you may spook them walking in. In Spring you have 15 to 18 hours of daylight so rest mid-day. Or fish!! POW is thick, so once you hit a bear never stop shooting until he is down. Try to break one of the front shoulders. Note: You can establish a bait site-but you need to contact AK game and fish to get a permit and the rules. Very effective if you bother.
DEER HUNTERS: Best but most strenuous deer hunting is early August into mid Sept. You should hunt above 2500'. Walk in day before, spike out – hunt next day and pack deer out. You can see a dozen to 30 bucks in a day in the right areas according to locals! Or hunt clear cuts and grassy areas in lower areas. As it gets into late Oct-Nov-bucks drop down-calling works extremely well- fawn bleats or doe bleats (a bear may come in too- so stay alert! We think rattling is untried
Butch's Update And Report:
We found the usual places in Staney Creek full of pinks and silvers. We found great silvers and pinks in Hatchery Creek, Gravelly Creek, Harris river and Log Jam Creek; also in Neck Lake/Whale Pass (awesome early run silvers); also in the Klawock River; big numbers; in Ratz Creek; in the nearby Thorne River and in other places. Move around!! Water conditions and fish runs vary greatly over this big island! We saw plenty of deer; and we think the northern half of POW up toward Whale Pass looks to offer some great bear and deer hunting and fishing. Red Bay had some good looking flats for bear. Small boats did well on August silvers off of Tolstoi Point; with both bait and lures and downriggers and deep diving lures. Crabs were tasty and reasonably plentiful and a meal of fresh Dungeness crab and fresh salmon is hard to beat!!!
August Is One Of The Most Popular Months At This Place- So If It Is Full- They Have Arranged For An Alternative- Stay At A Local Bed And Breakfast:
Stay at a bed and breakfast just one block away. You get the same deal- a boat, a vehicle, and lodging, PLUS you get breakfast served between 5Am and about 8 AM. Price is almost the same plus you get the breakfast, and for an extra $21 per might they will cook your dinners too. A Good Deal we think! See pictures below.
Three rooms: one queen bed, private bath (shower); second room is one queen AND one set of bunk beds (share hall bath with shower/bathtub); third room is one queen bed (share hall bath with shower/bathtub).

St Ives, Cambridgeshire: Oliver Cromwell (Lord Protector) Monument
Courtesy of St Ives Town CouncilThis photo shows the busy Town of St Ives with residences and tourists using the Cambridge Back to Back benches and the people of St Ives seemingly to enjoy their Town Centre with the Hampton Court Stands to lock their bicycles to. A very green Town
The photo also shows the Cambridge Street 4.7 m Lighting Columns with Buckingham ornate 400 mm Globe lanterns matching the Cromwell Monument Pedestals to give the required evening lighting for this most beautiful of English Market Towns. The ladder arms on the Cambridge Street Columns are the ideal mounting points for attaching the decorative hanging baskets with flowers in full bloom.
AJBernasconi-Design.co.uk Received the 1987 Conservation Award from Huntingdon District Council For This Work.
The replacement Buckingham Pedestals & Globes. in 1986
To add more significance to the restoration of the Pedestals & Globes, coronets were placed above and below the lanterns middle band in the shape of a stylized heart. This represents both the Monarchy and the peoples heart being ripped out, as happens in all civil wars. 4 Howard roses are mounted on each of the corner bosses, on the central band, equal the 4 corners of the UK that was touched by this savage historical event. Also there was a battle close to the home of the Howard family (Howard Rose).

(From The Editor's Desk) READ: I Got A New Computer!…
Source: DNN (OMG! DNN plagiarized itself instead of Newser or The Huffington Post how bout that?) hee hee.
Woo Hoo! I finally broke down and got a new computer!… But I'd like to share my horror story with you before I reveal which one I got.
How I managed to make something do something that it wasn't designed to do in the first place, and lived through it:
So I took a 4 or 5-year-old Dell 2400 dimension and tried to turn it into a Digital Video/Audio workstation by editing HD Sony video files (AVCHD)… No laughing allowed! It actually works remarkably well, just slow as hell; (Took about 10 minutes to import the file to Sony's Picture Browser, then another 10 or so for it to analyze the file, and a few minutes to import the file into Sony's Vegas PRO software, and this doesn't even include the time it takes to actually edit the movie's sound, removing unwanted pops/hisses or whatnot, edit out unwanted visual shots such as the camera was aimed wrong, focus was poor, ETC.) But I did all that on a single core processor, and a really antiquated video card, hard drive… PAIN! much pain.
So last night I went to BestBuy. Now normally I avoid that store like the plague for a few reasons: #1 the crowds, 2. The noise, 3. The $7.50 making sales associates or whatever they call themselves these days, I don't mean to pick on low-wage making people, it's just they tend to be rude, uneducated and just plain don't care about the products they're selling. I can say that because I was one of "Those" kinds myself for many years! 😉
Anyways, so yeah after 10 minutes I managed to stomp and kick loud enough that a sales rep finally noticed me. I told him what I was basically looking for: a decent computer that could handle HD video editing without choking too much… at first I was eye-balling some of their laptops (Toshiba), but I spotted a HP TouchSmart and noticed they have come down in price quite a bit since last year (I think they were about $1700 then, now they're like $1000). However the guy that was helping me said that it would not be a very good computer for what I needed, and he recommended me a Quad-Core, they only had one:
HP – Pavilion Elite Desktop with AMD Phenom™ II X4 Quad-Core Processor
Model: e9120y | SKU: 9366553
Nope that's not an advertisement link, remember kids, DNN doesn't advertise (if we did you might as well just get your news from CNN or FOX, its money that corrupts them…bah, I got off track sorry about that!) that's my new computer. 🙂
Well I think I'll close with that, I will try to write up a review soon, I've only had it for less than a day so I don't know what it's capable of yet. So If I may use the cliché: STAY TUNED!
(POLITICS) READ: Online politics reserved for rich…
US civic engagement remains in the hands of the middle-class despite hopes that the internet would democratise political involvement.
Those are the findings of a report from the Pew Internet Project.
Online political engagement such as contacting officials, signing petitions and making donations is skewed towards richer and better educated Americans.
The report found signs that social networks could be encouraging younger people to get involved in politics.
According to the report 35% of US adults on incomes of at least $100,000 (£62,000) participate in two or more online political activities compared to just 8% of adults on incomes of less than $20,000 (£12,000). READ MORE
(TECH) READ: The Internet Turns 40!…
(Newser Summary) – Forty years ago, two UCLA scientists exchanged data via computers, arguably making today the 40th anniversary of the birth of the Internet. "It would be more accurate to say some important seeds of the Internet sprouted with that data transfer," writes Stephen Shankland on CNET, but no matter. It's a good time to take stock. "Woodstock embodied the rising power of a new generation. … Men on the moon showed us how small the Earth is. But the Internet changes everything—and it will be instrumental in the next chapters of humanity's future."
There are negative aspects, of course: The abundance of communicative possibilities can be overwhelming. Privacy issues abound: Evolution never made allowances for a social circle that spans the whole planet. The Internet can serve the interests of repressive governments just as it does the disenfranchised. "But it's only gaining in importance, power, and reach," Shankland writes. "So my advice is to embrace it and try to shape it for the better for the next 40 years."Source: CNET
(READ): U.S. is 15 years behind South Korea in Internet speed (also behind 27 other countries)…
A report on Internet speed in the United States says the country isn't likely to catch world leader South Korea for 15 years.
Or for much longer — at current growth rates, the United States will only reach South Korea's speed today in 15 years.
The report, by the Communications Workers of America, details Internet download and upload speeds all over the United States and some of its affiliated territories. In the last year, the average upload speed in the United States "barely changed," the report said, and download speed only grew a little, from 4.2 megabits per second in 2008 to 5.1 megabits per second in 2009.
In South Korea, average download speed is four times faster — 20.4 megabits per second. The United States also lags Japan (15.8 mbps), Sweden (12.8 mbps), the Netherlands (11 mbps) and 24 other countries.
The report said U.S. speeds aren't sufficient for the needs of in-home medical monitoring, distance learning programs, or to run a modern business from home.
. . .
The report calls for more investment in the nation's Internet infrastructure. It also suggests shifting the outdated universal service payments that support voice telephone service over to pay for better and cheaper high-speed Internet service for everyone.

(READ): Cloud Looms Large As Future Of Computing…
Source: SKY News
Historically the home or business PC has been the central hub for storing data and running programs, whilst the internet was a rich resource for information and communication – only services like Hotmail and Gmail offered us a glimpse into the world of cloud computing.
In recent years email services like these have been joined by other applications running through the web browser – from photo editing to business databases, most applications are now available online.
This experience is quickly evolving to something commonly known as 'cloud computing', 'Web 2.0' or 'Software as a Service'.
But what is the cloud? Quite simply it is having your applications; data and software reside online, on remote computers that you can access to, in real time from any device with internet access. Read More
(READ): Where Yahoo Leaves Google in the Dust…
Source: Nytimes
GOOGLE has an outsize image as the deft master of information. Its superior technology seems to pitilessly grind up its rivals. But Google's domination in search has proved hard for it to match in some information domains. When serving financial news and information, for example, Yahoo draws 17.5 times the traffic of Google, according to comScore Media Metrix.
James Pitaro of Yahoo says users become anxious if too much financial information is presented on a page.
Yahoo Finance, which has occupied the top spot in the category for 19 consecutive months, drew 21.7 million unique United States visitors in July; Google Finance drew only 1.2 million unique visitors, placing it 17th in comScore's rankings for the category, one slot above a site called FreePressRelease.com.
Yahoo understands that information about money — a user's own money — presents some tricky psychological issues. James Pitaro, vice president of Yahoo's audience group, said, "In our research with users, we found that the more information that was displayed on the page, the greater the anxiety."
He said Yahoo deliberately adopted what he calls "the Apple model — simplicity in design; a clean, simple look, not overburdening our users with too much information on the page."
Google seems to pay no heed to such psychology. Google Finance, which was introduced in 2006 and shed its "beta" label earlier this year, hews to its original strategy: offer the best data and charts. And when that doesn't work, offer still more data and charts.
Yahoo Finance is organized into sections: investing; news and opinion; personal finance; customized portfolio tracking; and "Tech Ticker," short video features that have supplied an average of 450,000 streams a day in recent months, Yahoo says. When you click on a link to a news story accompanied by a Tech Ticker video, it starts automatically and seems intended to insert a warm human presence on the page. The video player is on one side of the page and is stationary; the visitor scrolls down on the other side to read news articles.
"It's made for multitasking," Mr. Pitaro said. More Info
READ: Netscape Founder Backs Next-Gen Browser…
Source: Yahoo!
The browser wars have gotten livelier with new entries and updates, with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera, and Apple's Safari all scrambling for attention. But a warrior from the first browser war is apparently gearing up for battle once more. Netscape founder-turned-investor Marc Andreessen is backing a new company, Rockmelt, that is developing a next-generation Web browser, according to the New York Times.
Like Google's approach with its Chrome browser, Rockmelt is optimizing the Web browser for the current demands of the Internet, such as running Web-based applications or Web apps.
"There are all kinds of things that you would do differently [today] if you are building a browser from scratch," Andreessen told the New York Times earlier this year. Rockmelt was founded by Eric Vishria and Tim Howes, both of whom were executives at Opsware, a company co-founded by Andreessen and sold to Hewlett-Packard in 2007.
Few details are available about how Rockmelt's browser is different. The Times reports one interesting tidbit: Rockmelt's Website reportedly posted a privacy policy, since removed, that mentioned some sort of Facebook integration. The policy said you could "use a Facebook ID to log into RockMelt." It's not clear what this means, but I wonder if Rockmelt plans to store your Facebook credentials as an automatic login feature for Facebook Connect-enabled Web sites. Andreessen, it should be noted, serves on Facebook's board, but the Times says Rockmelt and Facebook are not working together on the Web browser. Read More

Merger and Acquisition Strategies
How to Create Value
Angelo Dringoli
Chapter 8: Financing M & As and effects on merger value
Angelo Dringoli
In M & A operations the form of payment of the target firm is crucial for the success of the merger. This chapter examines the main alternatives of payment: by cash and by new stocks issued by the acquiring firm. The payment by new shares requires the exchange ratio between the shares of the acquiring firm and those of the target firm to be determined. The analysis indicates how to calculate the maximum exchange ratio the shareholders of the acquiring firm can pay without destroying value, and the minimum exchange ratio that makes the merger neutral for the shareholders of the target firm.

In Architects & Agile Like Zen Monks & Cell Phones, I questioned the relevancy of software architects in agile.
This morning I recalled two additions we'd made to our home. Both efforts were done by a superb craftsman who, in both instances, urged us not to engage an architect.
Both projects were completed on time, within budget, and, to our ongoing satisfaction, the results are functionally and aesthetically pleasing.
The trend toward agility in the software business is mirrored by the construction industry which has been evolving for more than a decade toward a Design-Build (DB) approach. In their version of DB, one contracting firm does the design and the construction; in contrast to Design-Bid-Build, or DBB, where one firm does the design (architecture) and other firms (construction) bid on the design specification to do the work.
A 1999 study by the Project Delivery Institute at Penn State found that DB beats DBB in delivery speed and in delivering at a lower cost. See the graphs above and right.
Is an additional advantage of DB for the construction industry
the ability to change on the fly?
In days of yore before agile, I questioned the wisdom of separating designing and building into buttoned-up packages that marched in succession. I knew that
we learned things as we built
and that
we adjusted accordingly
This summer my son will participate kiln-building course where students will design and build a wood-fired kiln. He's an architecture student who is also passionate about functional pottery.
This is his first opportunity to build a structure that will provide decades of utility to others. I wondered if it would be his last opportunity to build a structure as opposed to conceptualizing a structure.
A side-benefit of agile is the organizationally-imposed distinction between architect and developer is blurred, if not irrelevant. In well-oiled agile teams, people wear many hats. As such, successful teams behave like start-ups (i.e., from necessity, they're too small to segment specialties, so everyone does whatever needs to be done).
Design-build is personally satisfying, even if my design contribution is only to confirm what my more conceptually gifted team-mate, was thinking.

The week of the Superbowl has finally come! Get your wagers ready using CasinoReview.org's featured online casinos, because you most certainly won't want to miss out on this once a year sports betting excitement. Our best online sportsbooks reviewed here are constantly adjusting lines for the Arizona vs. Pittsburgh game game, offering alternatives to push the money or the spread more favorably, just so they can catch any potential bettor intent on wagering on Superbowl XLIII. You probably wouldn't know it from listening to the broadcasters and writers around the sports world, who have been analyzing and reanalyzing every aspect of the game since the very second the AFC and NFC championship games ended, but the big game is finally just days away. Of course Pittsburgh is the favorite in this one however you just can't count out the underdog Arizona, who have been playing with something to prove since making the post season this year.
The big question for every potential wager placed is definitely who will be the deciding factor in the Superbowl. It could be Kurt Warner getting in sync with Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, or Pittsburgh's highly touted defensive unit that keeps the Arizona attack at bay. Regardless of eventual outcome, this writer will be very excited to stop hearing all the hype over the Superbowl, which is currently referred to about every five seconds of the day across the sports networks on press day! Nonetheless, to place my first wager, I have gone to the ever trustworthy Betus.com (read the review of BetUS), which not only offers the typical wagering, but also a number of alternative bets if you prefer to move the lines or spreads one way or another (at a sacrifice of potential profit though). My personal prediction for this year's showdown is Pittsburgh by 3, but it's anyone's bet on what the final point total might look like (count on a fairly low scoring affair.
So I'll go with my gut for this first bet (yes, there will be more wagers placed on this game before the week is over), and take the Cardinals widsth the points spread at 5 this week. Anyway you slice it, the final decision for how to place your bet(s) lies on the shoulders of the person placing the wager, be it with gut instinct, or well thought out investigation of game information. The one constant you will find is that CasinoReview.org has all the quality sportsbooks found on the internet to place that wager with. If you haven't already made your wagers for this Sunday, it is certainly time to start looking into it. With that, we wish you good luck wagering on Superbowl XLIII and have a great week!

Macy's = Christmas
We shop at places we like. So I love seeing the strategy behind this spot for Macy's – it ties them to Christmas in a way that Saks or Target or any other retailer can't. And yes, the tie is 100% manufactured, but the nostalgia they pull from comes from a place that doesn't completely reek of commercialism.

Last Tuesday, the 7th of May, as part of the Creative Schools Programme pupils in the senior room took part in the next stage of their sound workshop with Ed Devane. Throughout the day the pupils investigated sound theory and editing sounds on the Chrombooks using materials they had brought to school to create different sounds. Following this the pupils worked with electronic music using an online synthesizer, an activity the class really enjoyed. To finish the workshop each pupil created their own air horn instrument. The class really enjoyed the workshops and have gained a wealth of knowledge on working with sound. We would like to thank Ed for an excellent two days of fun learning.
As part of our Creative Schools Programme the pupils from the senior room took part in a sound workshop with Ed Devane today. Ed is an Irish multidisciplinary artist working primarily with sound. The children completed several activities throughout the day which included finding electro magnetic signals, working with a contact microphone to listen to sound vibrations, making recordings using an a digital audio recorder with various sounds from around the classroom. The class really enjoyed the day and are looking forward to the next stage of the workshop in early May.

Clíona, Ellen, Amy, Megan and Jamie took part in the Instrumental Music section of Scór. Here is a video of the tunes we played – The Hills of Tara and the Deers' March. We represented South Mayo in the County Final at Breaffy. Congrats to Tavrane NS, Kilkelly who were the overall winners.
Djembe drums originated in Africa. They are made with a wooden shell and a head made from animal hide, usually it belongs to a goat. Lukasz came to our school to teach us about the djembe and others drums. We played the drums and sang songs. We had lots of fun. We made the video in school. Evan from fourth class is speaking as Mr. Turtle and the presenter is me, Clíona, from sixth class.
Here we are playing our Christmas carols – Away in a Manger, The little Drummer Boy and Silent Night.
Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year.
That was great!!! Well done all.
Here are some pictures Thomas took of the first snow we had last week. Click the play button below to hear us sing 'Silent Night' and play tin whistle, guitar, violin and keyboard.
In February 2011 we performed with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar. We were practising since the previous October and here is a video of the performance. The video is an edited version (50 mins) of the official DVD which is over 2 hours long and available from www.cboi.ie. We hope you enjoy it.
Irish Dancing classes take place in school every Monday from 3pm to 4pm. Mrs. Ann Hussey (087 6252929) and her daughter Ruth (087 6724804) are both excellent instructors who aim to give every child who attends the opportunity and the support to enjoy a lifetime of Irish Dancing.
A percussion instrument is any object which produces a sound by being hit with an implement, shaken, rubbed, scraped, or by any other action which sets the object into vibration. In this video the pupils keep different beats with various percussion instruments.

Hope this helps.
Something similar (I believe) just happened to me

A Magical Conference
You may remember some of my emails from last year around this time which came to you from a conference in Nashville. The Association of Club Catering Professionals hosts their annual conference at the end of August. 2017 marks their 6th year. There could not be a more perfect spot for club catering and F&B professionals to expand their knowledge than in Napa, CA.
We stayed at the Silverado Resort & Spa. Once participants checked in, they interacted with the top vendors and creative partners in the industry, learning about new products and trends to help them plan extraordinary events in their clubs. After our opening session with motivational speaker Patrick Snow, we networked and renewed friendships at the welcome party. This was held in the in Silverado's Grove, out under the trees. The party offered great ideas for utilizing tucked away spaces on the grounds and setting up intimate seating arrangements outdoors.
Hurricane Matthew and Member Communication
Hurricane Matthew is headed toward the East Coast. A few clubs have been posting that they are closed or will be closing. Please make an effort to continue updating your social media accounts and your club's website to keep members informed. Here's a quick emergency communication protocol to follow:
1. Assign people to social accounts and the website for frequent updates. It is best to assign one person per channel. Make sure the crisis communication team has login information and each other's contact information so that they can update platforms and stay in touch with each other. Once they arrive in a safe location, they should plan to keep members informed frequently.
2. Identify local resources who are providing information. You can share or re-tweet the information from these accounts. For example, local fire, police and news stations. Think about the Weather Channel and even FEMA. Your state and local government offices should be posting information online too. Even is all you are doing is re-posting this information, it is enough. So long as you are doing so with consistency and frequency. Every 2 hours for example.
3. Make sure that your accounts are not connected to each other so that every time to post to Facebook it Tweets. This will be super confusing for your members. Disconnect the accounts. Post authentically and in real-time. Look to pause or delete scheduled posts about events and non-essential information.
4. Continue to post information that is helpful to your members. Serve as a resource.
5. When the storm clears, continue with regular updates about club closings, special hours of operation, damage to the club or courses/courts… be informative. If you receive phone calls, refer them to the online channels for frequent updates.
During a time of crisis like this, the last thing you want to do is go silent. Be of value to your members and provide them helpful information. Serve as a resource. When the skies are blue again they will appreciate that their club was on top of the news and information and served as a helpful resource during a scary time.
See You in San Diego! PCO at the CMAA World Conference!
It is a pleasure to represent Private Clubs Online and serve as a speaker at the CMAA 89th World Conference on Club Management & Club Business Expo February 21 – 25, 2016 in my lovely town of San Diego!
Happy New Year! It's 2016!
Happy New Year! I hope 2016 is off to a great start for you! I'm sure the holiday season was all hustle and bustle with plenty of member activities and parties. I hope you caught some time to rest and recharge so you could kick off the New Year in style!
When Kate Upton Tweets About Your Club
Private clubs are facing a fork in the road with member communication. Many clubs hold a firm and traditional belief that, "We are an exclusive club and what happens at our club is private." Some clubs maintain a more progressive view of, "We need to better inform our members about club programs and benefits." There is certain hesitation for many clubs to activate online and social media accounts, yet an understanding that the world is communicating online, including our members. It's an internal struggle I often hear in conversation with club management.
A Strong Brand Identity Recruits the Right Members
In a world that has gone almost completely digital, it is easy to get caught in the online current of promoting your Club through various social channels.
