Our New Forest caravans to rent are located just a 10 minute drive from the nearest beaches. We have listed some of our local beaches which we are sure you will enjoy
Barton on Sea – The beaches are easily reached via the Cliffside footpath. The beach is a mixture of stones (at high tide) and sand. The cliff top enjoys beautiful views over to the Isle of Wight and the prominent white chalk formation emerging from the sea called The Needles. Clinging to the edge of the cliff is a lovely little café called "the Beachcomber" which serves teas, snacks and meals and the most wonderful cream teas. Along the cliff top you can enjoy watching the paragliders and kite flyers. If you walk along the cliff you will come across "Barton Bunny" which is a small stream which meanders its way through the sandstone rock towards the sea. You can walk all the way to Milford on Sea along the cliff top taking in the breathtaking views along the way. There is an excellent golf course at Barton also.
Milford on Sea
Milford is a popular location with its beach café. There is a seafront car park. The beach is pebbles. The village which is set back from the sea has a lovely village green and quaint shop. The Smugglers Inn serves good food and is dog friendly.
Keyhaven is primarily a yatching marina. There is no beach, but there are some lovely walks through the Nature Reserve. This is an area of coastline which is not protected. The mudflats and saltmarshes are home to a huge variety of birdlife and wildlife. Pathways have been built up which allows easy access on foot to some great circular walks. There is also a cycle path. Parking is just opposite the Gunn public house. From Keyhaven you can catch the boat and visit the historic Hurst Castle.
Steamer Point
Parking is in the cliff top car park. There is a gentle short slope to the beach which consists of some stones and lots of sand. There is a small café on the beach which serves teas, snacks and meals. From the car park you can enjoy a stroll along the cliff top through the Highcliffe Castle Nature Reserve. It is a lovely peaceful walk amongst the woodland which finishes at Highcliffe Castle
Highcliffe Castle
Highcliffe Castle has been described as the most important surviving house of romantic and picturesque style of architecture which flourished at the end of the 18th century. It is now a Grade 1 listed building of Special Architectural and Historic interest. It was built between 1831 and 1836 by Lord Stuart de Rothesay. During the 1990s a huge conservation and repair programme was carried out to preserve this beautiful building. There is a tea room and outside tables and chairs. A lovely setting to enjoy a cream tea on a sunny afternoon. From the tea rooms you can take the cliff path down to the beach.
Christchurch – Mudeford Quay and Avon Beach
Mudeford Quay is probably one of the favourite locations for crabbing. Hours of enjoyment are spent here by children. There is a convenient car park on the Quay. There is a café, fresh fish stall and gift shop where you can buy the crabbing lines and buckets. At this point the river Avon meets the sea. Hengisbury Head is just across the water only a few yards. Here the tides are strong rushing in and out of the narrow harbour mouth. Just outside the mouth of the river sand shallows have formed and at low tide you can see the sea birds and swans feeding. Christchurch Priory and Abbey ruins are a must to visit.
Avon Beach is a local favourite. There is a car park on the seafront and also over the sand dunes to the rear. The café there serve great food and beverages. There is also a gift shop and lots and lots of beach huts. The beach is mainly sand with a few pebbles.
Southbourne and Boscombe
These are located just the other side of Christchurch. They are both lovely sandy beaches accessed via the cliff path down to the beaches. Boscombe is the location of the new surfing reef.
Hurst Castle
The castle is located on the top of the Keyhaven peninsular. Access is via the boat from Keyhaven marina or on foot along the shingle bank causeway. The castle is steeped in history being built by Henry VIII. Charles I was imprisioned here before his execution. You can ramble through the castle and visit the tea rooms inside. It is a very interesting day out.
Lymington is a quaint riverside town and boating haven. From here you can catch the Isle of Wight Link ferry to the Isle of Wight. There is a large street market here each Saturday. There are many interesting shops and great places to eat down the High Street. A visit down the old cobbled street at the foot of the High Street down to the Marina is not to be missed. There are some interesting shops. Boats can be hired here for fishing or day trips.
Christchurch and the Priory
Christchurch is a very historic town. The Priory is 900 years old and is well worth a visit as to are the ruins of the old priory. From the Priory you can walk round the grounds alongside the small waterways. Christchurch Quay is worth a visit. There are some lovely riverside walks, cafes, childrens playground on the green, Tuckton Tea rooms and Tuckton ferry, boat trips and fishing. Here you can catch the ferry to Hengisbury Head – a great day out by the beach.
Beaulieu Motor Museum and House
Beaulieu is a great family day out with lots to enjoy for all ages. The motor museum is home to a vast selection of automobiles depicting the history of motoring through to modern cars. It is home to the Bond in Motion exhibition – the official home to the largest Bond collection in the world. You can also see the World of Top Gear collection (as seen on TV) The stately home of Palace House is well worth visiting as to is the Abbey which was founded in 1204 by Cistercian Monks. There is plenty to do in the ground – try a ride on the elevated mono rail to see everything.
The New Forest is a most beautiful place to visit and here are some of the places of interest
Rhinefield Ornamental Drive
Situated between Brockenhurst and the A35 – it is a narrow road lines with a mixture of rhodedendrons, azaleas and some very tall pines. It is best seen in late May/early June when the shrubs and in full flower. At the southern end of the drive is Rhinefield House once home to Richard Branson but now a hotel and conference centre. The driveway is lined by giant redwoods and Douglas Firs. In America redwoods are known to be up to 3000 years old, so at about 150 years old ours are mere youngsters. There are several walks that start and finish from the Ornamental Drive and most popular being the Tall Trees Trail which starts at Blackwater car park. It is a clearly marked trail. There is some interesting information about these trees along the walk. Here you can also take a walk round the Arboretum which contains a selection of trees from around the world. There is a gravel track which includes a number of points that encourage you to touch, smell and listen to the sound of certain trees, while a number of wooden benches provide pleasant resting places.
Knightswood Oak
Just off the A35 2 miles from Lyndhurst at the turning to Bolderwood (opposite to the Rhinefield Ornamental Drive) the Knightswood Oak is located. The mighty oak is said to be 600 year old. It is just a short level walk from the car parking area.
Bolderwood Deer Sanctuary
Just off the A35 (2 miles from Lyndhurst) take the Bolderwood turning. You will drive through 2 miles of lovely woodland. Bolderwood has a large car park and picnic area. Children can let off steam running through the woods, making camps, picnicking and eating ice creams here. Opposite is the deer viewing platform where you can view the deer in the paddock beyond. During the spring and summer months the Rangers come to feed the deer between 1.30 – 2pm each day. They often give an interesting talk about the deer and bring with them some rather large antlers.
On those wet days it is always good to have some inside fun. Serendipity Sams is a huge indoor play area for children of all ages. There are slides, climbing ropes and ladders etc and a café where the mums and dads can sit whilst the children amuse themselves. Located just through Christchurch – take the turning right at the roundabout towards the Station, just over the railway bridge at the traffic lights turn right to "Partyland" then next left.

Kirstie Allie is over it.
And she wants everyone to know it, too.
Seriously. I was so excited when they got together, because let's be honest, they would make beautiful babies. His talent and her ass (although hopefully not her teeth or his hair…) – brilliant! But ever since they got together, every picture I see of them looks like they just had a hearty serving of stick up the ass. WTF?
Ok, so I know this might make me a bad person, but I seriously love it when the snotty bitches get pregnant, look angry and inconvenienced for nine months, pop one or two little HollyBabies out, and immediately get right back at the biz…only to discover they're BUSTED.
Case in point:
I was pretty sure J Lo was headed in that direction when I saw her in this outfit, still claiming to be fetus-free.
Because nothing screams, "I'M STILL HOT, YOU BITCHES!" like light blue stretchy polyester stretch pants that a herd of butterflies threw up on.

If the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings spawn a surge of support for stronger gun-control laws, it's going to have to be pretty strong to reach Pennsylvania.
Or maybe even imposed from Washington, D.C.
While there are signs since Friday's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., that some politicians are willing to consider restrictions on guns and gun ownership, reactions from many state leaders have been largely limited to expressions of sympathy and regret.
And no state leaders considered among the strongest proponents of the Second Amendment have voiced anything like a conversion.
Gov. Tom Corbett, for example, commenting after an unrelated public appearance Tuesday in Dover, York County, said his immediate focus is on redoubling security measures at the state's schools.
As for gun-control measures?
"We are not going to get into that right now," Corbett told reporters. "We've had discussions about gun-control legislation for many, many years, and there have been many gun-control laws that have been passed. ... I am for enforcing the laws we already have."
This is not to say that gun-control proponents will not make the case here.
Shira Goodman, executive director of the gun-control group CeaseFirePA, said her group will push in Harrisburg for background checks of private gun sales and to bolster requirements that mental health records of Pennsylvanians get forwarded to national databases.
Gun-control proponents such as Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery County, vow to launch efforts requiring gun owners to report the loss or theft of their guns to police, or to cap the number of guns an individual can purchase at one per month.
Some nationwide public-opinion snapshots taken after Friday's school shootings seem to have shown the opinion needle swinging in favor of stricter gun-control laws. A CBS News poll taken during the weekend showed 57 percent of respondents supporting stricter laws, up from 39 percent in April.
But many observers think Harrisburg isn't ready for major gun-control measures.
"I do expect an assault-rifle ban to be enacted federally, but in Pennsylvania, I would be surprised if we see any significant legislation coming out of this," said Michael Young, a retired Penn State political scientist who is head of his own consulting firm.
That's in part, he said, because of the strong, pro-gun culture that dominates large regions of the state. But it is also because the facts might show that the Newtown massacre owes much to breakdowns in the nation's mental health system.
"This is a problem without a solution at this point," Young said. "There's no consensus about what to do beyond assault rifles, and that's a federal issue. ... So without the governor being on board and bringing enthusiasm, moving a gun bill in Pennsylvania is a nonstarter."
There might be related areas where lawmakers can work toward the mutual goal of a safer society with less conflict.
Rep. Todd Stephens, R-Montgomery County, for example, said Monday he will introduce a bill that requires state police to forward information on involuntary mental health commitments — a disqualifier for gun ownership — to the federal government.
It's a modest step, because state background checks already include this data, but it could prevent a mentally ill person who would be flagged in Pennsylvania from crossing into Maryland to buy a gun.
Even top gun-rights supporters such as Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler County, support background checks in concept, and there might be room for all sides to work toward improvements in the system.
Republican leaders in the Senate and House left the door open to these discussions when the 2013-14 legislative session begins.
Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware County, said in a statement, "It is incumbent upon us to review our laws and see if there are changes that should be made not only to gun laws, but mental health laws, school laws and any other relevant areas."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Ron Marsico, R-Lower Paxton Township, vowed "a closer look at every single piece of legislation that may have prevented, or could in the future prevent, such an atrocity."
The National Rifle Association's top lobbyist in Pennsylvania, John Hohenwarter, did not respond to a request for an interview for this story.
But the Legislature's strongest Second Amendment supporters cautioned Tuesday that they will fight to protect the right of Pennsylvanians to own a gun, in part because it is their belief that the Newtown tragedy was the product of an evil mind, not lax gun laws.
On Tuesday, Metcalfe advanced the argument that the recent mass shootings across America only give support to the notion that too much gun control — including public spaces such as schools or parks that have been declared gun-free zones — is a bad thing.
"We don't know the hearts of people and what's in their hearts that are going to cause them to do these wicked acts," Metcalfe said in a telephone interview. "If they're going to do something, somebody needs to be there with the force to stop them."
Kim Stolfer, chairman of the Pennsylvania-based Firearm Owners Against Crime, noted that by his count the Newtown shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, broke 18 state or federal laws in his actions. "So if we had 19 [laws], it's going to make the kids safer?" he asked. "It's a red herring."

Overdentures are complete dentures that are partially supported by natural teeth or dental implants. The objective of overdentures is to slow down the resorption of residual ridge which inevitably follows extraction of the teeth. In addition to the support and retention that can be gained from retained roots or implants, overdentures are superior to conventional complete dentures in biting force, chewing efficiency and force discrimination.
Indications for Overdentures
At least on tooth can be retained.
Adequate oral hygiene.
The prognosis for wearing complete dentures is poor.
The remaining teeth would be more severely damaged by other type of treatment.
Advantages of Overdenture
The alveolar bone is retained around the teeth resulting to greater functional stability.
Better stability.
Better chewing efficiency.
Less pressure to denture bearing mucosa.
Disadvantages of Overdenture
Greater cost of the whole treatment, due to preprosthetic treatment, use of attachments and post placement.
Picture of Overdenture

Q: Can I check out a book through Interlibrary Loan as an alumna/alumni?
Both Sturgis Library at Kennesaw Campus and Johnson Library at Marietta Campus welcome KSU (or former SPSU) alumni and all members of the Georgia public to use our facilities for computer access, searching databases, and reference services.
However, there are some restrictions:
- If a KSU (or former SPSU) alumni wishes to check out books, they must join Friends of the Library.
- Members of the Friends of the Library may check out up to three (3) books at a time.
- KSU alumni cannot use library services that get materials from other libraries, such as Interlibrary Loan or GIL Express.
- KSU alumni (or Friends of the Library) cannot access databases from off-campus.
- A good place to try if you need database access is your public library. Public libraries in Georgia often have access to many of the same databases as KSU such as Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, and eBooks on EBSCOHost. Of course, different public libraries may offer different databases, but it's a great place to try!

By Sandra Ingerman
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and although I lived in a city I felt so connected to nature. I loved life and the Earth! I came home from school everyday and sang to a tree outside of my house, to the birds, and then to the moon at night.
I always had a spiritual connection not just to nature but also with the invisible realms that are spoken about in the practice of shamanism. At the age of seven I was hit by lightning, and when I regained consciousness I returned with a heightened spiritual awareness.
When I was twenty I had an exquisite and classic Near Death Experience when I drowned while swimming in the ocean. Throughout my late teens I entered into a wealth of numinous states that led me to experience Source, unity, unconditional joy, peace, and love.
As a child I felt fully empowered in life and believed all was possible. Overtime I was exposed to the darker states of consciousness. As I grew up and observed the suffering of others I felt burdened by the pain I perceived. In the late 1960s I demonstrated against the war in Viet Nam. Although I supported the veterans I did not support the war. As my efforts did not seem to create any change I was left feeling disempowered.
Between feeling so burdened by the suffering of others and powerless to create positive change I entered a period of depression and lost the joy and unbridled excitement about life I experienced as a child.
There was a deep divide between my numinous experiences and what I experienced in the world around me. I had no tools to heal the split between what I experienced in my spiritual visions and what I observed in the ordinary world so I began studying different spiritual teachings to try and find answers to some of my larger questions.
My love for the environment led me to get my BA in Marine Biology. My desire to help people led me to get my MA in Counseling Psychology and become a licensed therapist. And destiny led me to the practice of shamanism.
In 1980 I was divinely guided to a workshop on shamanic journeying. Shamanism gave me a concrete practice to work with to help me heal and tap into my creative potential.
I became internationally known for teaching the ancient shamanic healing practice of soul retrieval to heal people from emotional and physical trauma.
Although I still perform this powerful work, as well as other shamanic healing methods, I am inspired to teach people how to step into the non-ordinary realms that shamans have traveled to for tens of thousands of years. In these realms there are an abundance of helping and compassionate spirits who volunteer themselves to guide us in our personal lives and in how to be in service to all of life and the Earth.
There is a difference between becoming a shaman and living a shamanic way of life. A major part of my work is teaching practices that people in shamanic cultures integrated into daily life to live in balance and harmony with themselves and nature.
I wrote my new book Walking in Light: The Everyday of Shamanic Life to teach people the art of shamanic journeying, introduce them to the love and guidance of the helping spirits, and to share empowering daily shamanic practices to engage in. My vision for the book is to help people tap into their creative potential, to reconnect with nature, learn how to gracefully ride the waves of both joyful and turbulent times, and return to a state of harmony and balance. I am devoted to help people cultivate a rich inner landscape so light and joy shine through their eyes and to live a life of honor and respect for all of life and the Earth. And I believe part of my soul's purpose is to raise awareness to the exponential power we have to create positive change when we work together in unity as a global community in behalf of the Earth.
I love to drum, and I have been studying taiko drumming for 7 years. I invited a local taiko performance group in Santa Fe to join me in creating Shamanic Visioning Music: Taiko Drum Journeys to help people enter into the worlds that shamans travel to receive guidance and healing from their helping spirits.
This has been such a creative time for me. I created the App "Transmutation", and I have another book and CD that will be released in the summer of 2015.
We all have pieces of the puzzle to share to help people heal, grow, tap into their creative potential and be in service during this time of great transition. I am passionate about sharing the tools I have learned that helped me and others to move from feeling disempowered to empowered and how to walk in light.
Sandra Ingerman, MA, is the author of nine books, including Walking in Light: The Everyday of Shamanic Life, Soul Retrieval, Medicine for the Earth, Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner's Guide, How to Heal Toxic Thoughts, The Shaman's Toolkit, and Awakening to the Spirit World: The Shamanic Path of Direct Revelation. Sandra has been teaching for over 30 years. She teaches workshops internationally on shamanic journeying, healing and reversing environmental pollution using spiritual methods. She has trained and founded an international alliance of Medicine for the Earth Teachers and shamanic teachers. Sandra is recognized for bridging ancient cross-cultural healing methods into our modern culture addressing the needs of our times.
Sandra is also a faculty member with The Shift Network and teaches courses on Shamanic Journeying.

Many discussions about the field's leadership gap focus on two general impressions: there are not enough prospective leaders or there aren't enough professional development opportunities – but is it that simple? In this GIA Reader article, Russell Willis Taylor, NAS President and CEO, and Andrew Taylor, Director of the Bolz Center for Arts Administration in the Wisconsin School of Business, argue that there are numerous prospective leaders and professional development opportunities, but that there are informational discontinuities which prevent them from adequately filling the field's leadership needs. This article identifies opportunities for the field – including funders, professional development providers and current leaders – to tackle the systemic challenges currently preventing our prospective leaders from finding and taking advantage of opportunities to develop the skills they need to take on leadership roles.

Mohammad Abdullah Saleem said nothing as he left a suburban courthouse Tuesday afternoon after posting a $25,000 bond.
The prominent Islamic scholar and 75-year-old head of the popular Institute of Islamic Education in Elgin was charged with sexually abusing a 23-year-old female employee.
Thomas Glasgow, Saleem's attorney, said Saleem is "very confident in the fact that he's done nothing wrong."
A civil suit filed Tuesday by Attorney Steven Denny accuses Saleem of abusing three other young girls when they were students at the Institute of Islamic Education in Elgin during the 80s and 90s.
"This tale of abuse spans four decades," Denny said.
At a conference surrounding the lawsuit, an advocate read a statement from one of the victim's.
"As a teen starting my freshman year in high school I imagined a lot of new exciting things with this new beginning. Being molested by the Principal Saleem was not one of them," the statement read. "My innocence kept me from speaking out, until one day I did."
The 49-page lawsuit alleges members of the school were made aware of various abuse allegations over the years, but those claims were never reported.
"Total unquestioned authority was given to him," said Mohammed Kaiseruddin with the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater America. "There was a board of trustees but they had absolutely no power and they were consulted only as necessary by Abdullah Saleem. Otherwise all the decisions were being made by him."
More than 30 people showed up in court Tuesday in support of Saleem, some of them referring to themselves as Saleem's followers.
"I just don't know what happened," said Ameer Gaffor. "I was very surprised. He's a very nice human being… It's very difficult to believe anything."
Glasgow said Saleem is cooperating with investigators.

Ultra gory remake of H.G Lewis' classic Blood Feast hits theaters next month
Director Marcel Walz's Blood Feast remake is a weird, arch and Eurotrashy re-mount of H.G. Lewis' groundbreaking splatter classic and it offers many perverse, bizarre pleasures, including an intense and controlled performance by actor Robert Rusler (Vamp, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2) as Fuad Ramses, a family man who opens up a diner in France and proceeds to lose his marbles and gain an ungodly appetite for human flesh. Indie goddess Sadie Katz and horror legend Caroline Williams (Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2) also appear.
Synopsis: Fuad Ramses and his family have moved from the United States to France, where they run an American diner. Since business is not going too well, Fuad also works night shifts in a museum of ancient Egyptian culture. During these long, lonely nights he is repeatedly drawn to a statue representing the seductive ancient goddess Ishtar. He becomes more and more allured by the goddess as she speaks to him in visions. Eventually he succumbs to her deadly charms. After this pivotal night, Fuad begins a new life, in which murder and cannibalism become his daily bread. He starts to prepare a ritual feast to honor his new mistress, a lavish affair dripping with BLOOD, organs, and intestines of human victims. As butchered bodies are heaped upon the Altar of Ishtar, Fuad slowly slips further into madness, until he is no more than the goddesss puppet; and she thirsts for the blood of Fuad's wife and daughter too
Today, Walz let us know that his macabre and super-bloody remake will be hitting U.S. theaters on April 28th from Medallion Releasing. Great news for fans of scrappy, odd and disgusting indie horror cinema.

Steamer MONARCH, (C), cargo merchandise, ashore near Toronto, C.W. Total loss.
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
January 31, 1857 (casualty list)
. . . . .
The new steamer MONARCH, Captain Sinclair stranded about 5 o'clock on Saturday morning, on the other side of the Island, opposite this city. The snow was falling heavily, with a strong sea from the east and it was very dark. The Captain who was on deck, Judging of his location by the length of time which he took to come from his last stopping place, conceived that he was west of the Light house Point, and turned the boat towards the City, when discovering his mistake, he endevored to turn out towards the lake again. A heavy sea drove her on to the shelving clay, where she since has stuck fast.
Her deck load was completely washed off and her hold filled with water, and it was with difficulty the crew got ashore. The boat lies in a bad position, but as the weather is moderating she will suffer no great harm for a day or two.
In the meanwhile, the agent of this city, of the North Western Insurance Co. has telegraphed to Oswego for a steam tug and pumps, by which means she will likely be got off.
The cargo which will be a total loss, consists mainly of groceries, and hardware for this City. Both vessel and cargo are insured to a considerable extent. The insurance on the boat ($24,OOO) expiring yesterday (Sunday). She was built at Kingston at the commencement of the season and is owned principally by Messrs.
J & D. Shaw, Kingston and the Captain.
from the Toronto Daily Globe
December lst. 1856
. . . . .
In our yesterdays issue we noted the loss of the steamer on the Island opposite the City, it is an unusual occurance to have a wreck so near our own door, in fact within view from our street's. We sent a reporter to visit the scene of the disaster, from whom we gather, the steamer lies ashore immediately in rear of Glendinnings Tavern, not more than15 yds, from the beach, the hull which inclines outwards, the bow pointing to the west, does not appear to have suffered any material damage, at least on the side towards the shore. On the other side, however, part of the bulwarks have been washed away.
The shore for about one and a half miles to the west, is strewn with the remains of the goods which formed the deck load, empty sugar hogsheads, barrels of fish, bales of dry goods, cases of stationary, packages of books and furniture, straw beds, life seats and many other things. Among them, are several cases addressed to the Legislative Assembly, which, from the fact of there being sealed, appears to be of some importance.
The cargo of the MONARCH consists chiefly of sugar and fish, belonging to Messrs. Mitchell, all of which was insured, the loss of the other goods, would be divided among a great many, Messers Hires, McCraig & Co. of Hamilton had also a quantity of goods aboard. We did not learn whether they were covered by insurance.
The sea must have been very high at the time the steamer went ashore. The purser, who had a narrow escape from being washed overboard, suceeded, though not without difficulty, in the absence of any light, the lamps having been all extinguiched, in saving his most important books.
Mr. Rough, the flour inspector, had all his furniture aboard, covered, we understand by insurance.
The surveys held on the MONARCH, by the agent of the insurance Co., show that the vessel, is not so much injured as was anticipated, and it is expected that the Tugs, steam-pumps, which were to arrive from Oswego last night, will pump the water out of her hold in a few hours, the scows are ready to take off her cargo at the same time which should lighten her sufficently to come off, as there is five and a half to six feet of water outside of her.
The value of the vessel is estimated at $40,000 and she was insured for $30,000.
(there follows a long list of the steamer's cargo, not extracted.)
from the Toronto Daily Globe
December 2nd 1856
. . . . .
A letter from Toronto, dated yesterday, to Captain Bagnall, states that the steamer MONARCH ashore near that place, is fast going to pieces. The schooners LIVE YANKEE and CANADIAN are ashore at Port Credit. The crew of the latter were seen in the rigging. The schooner J.G. BEARD was run ashore near where the
MONARCH lies. Cargo of coal. Another vessel - name unknown - is ashore three miles east of Toronto. Another is aground on the bar opposite Queen's wharf.

. . . . .
The gale of Tuesday night and yesterday, was one of the most severe, ever known on Lake Ontario and has resulted in great damage to shipping interests, the full extent is not yet known. The wind which was from the east, commensed to blow about 9 o'clock on Tuesday night very strongly and continued increasing until about 4 A. M., yosterday, when the weather slightly moderated, although there was aheavy sea on the lake all day yesterday.
The wind was most unfavourable for the steamer MONARCH, wrecked on the other side, opposite the City and there is every possibility that both vessel and cargo will prove a total loss.
Two of Worthingtons steam pumps belonging to the North Western Insurance Co., were washed overboard during the night and are not yet recovered. The violence of the sea, has caused the hull to sink deeper into the sand, and it is feared that her decks will be lifted off by the waves. A survey will be made today and efforts
renewed to get her off.
Toronto Daily Globe
Thursday, December 4th. 1856
. . . . .
THE MONARCH --- It was discovered yesterday that the violence of the storm during Tuesday night and wednesday, had caused the hull of the MONARCH to break in three places and all hope of getting her off are at an end. Her engine will be saved and that will be all.
There is no doubt that had there been a steam tug and pumps, at this port, as there should be, the hull might have been got off, on Monday and Tuesday, and a great deal of property saved, although great promptness was displayed by the North Western Co., in sending over their tug and pumps, yet, time was consumed and little was accomplished before the violent gale precluded all possibility of sucess.
The greater part of the machinery of the pumps, washed overboard from the MONARCH, have been recovered,
Toronto Daily Globe

. . . . .
The schooner J.G. BEARD of Toronto with 2OO tons of coal from Oswego, went ashore a few hundred yds. west of the MONARCH on Tuesday 2nd. December, after mistaking a light on the wrecked steamer MONARCH for the Toronto Lighthouse Point. The J. G. BEARD was released on the 13th. December, 1856
Toronto Globe
December 5th., 8th., and 13 th. 1356
. . . . .
THE STEAMER MONARCH. - The Toronto Leader, of Tuesday, says surveys have been made of her by the agents of the Insurance Companies, by which it has been ascertained that she was not so much injured as was anticipated. Contrary to the general expectation, her hull was not damaged, owing to the softness of the
bottom on which she grounded, and it is expected that her pumps which were to arrive from Oswego, last night, will clear her hold of water in a few hours. Scows will also be in readiness to take her cargo. She will thus be lightened sufficiently to get her off, as there is some five or six feet of water not far from where she
stranded. The probility is, that if the weather continues fine today, (Tuesday) she will be got into port, and put into dry-dock immediately. She was valued at $44,000 and insured for $30,000. Of her cargo, very little can be saved, with the exception of the 500 bbls of fish she had on board.

The Toronto Colonist says the MONARCH is now a hopeless wreck, the recent gale having broken her up. Her engines will be saved. The steam pumps of the North Western Insurance Company, which were washed overboard, have been recovered.

. . . . .
The steamer MONARCH which was wrecked opposite Toronto last Fall was sold on the 24th. ult, for 375 pound to Mr. P. Benady, agent for the North Western Insurance Co., Oswego, and Mr. William Murray, Manager of the Montreal Insurance Co., both of whom acted on behalf of the companies which they represent. The hull lies embedded in the sand and the engine and boiler are on the beach, having been raised during the winter by Capt. Packard, from Buffalo. - Buffalo Courier.

. . . . .
WRECK of the MONARCH. -- The disaster occured off Toronto Island about 5 o'clock in the morning of Saturday 29th. November 1856.
A heavy storm had arisen, and, in the darkness, Capt. Sinclair, misjudging his position, turned the vessel towards the city. Discovering his mistake, he endeavored to turn out towards the lake again, but a heavy sea drove the freighter on to the shelving clay in rear of Privat's Hotel, not more that 15 yds. from the beach, and she stuck fast, her deck load was completely washed off, the hold filled with water, and it was with difficulty that the crew got ashore.
On the Tuesday and Wednesday following a violent storm broke the Monarch's hull in three places, and all hopes of saving her was abandoned. A part of her machinery was removed, but the cargo was almost a total loss. In l862 Capt. Hugh Richardson, then Harbour-master, reported that the breach in the late peninsula was about a mile wide, and that the old line of the beach had moved away, so far that the boiler of the wrecked MONARCH, once high and dry, on the beach, was then in deep water about 100 yds. out in the lake.
The Monarch was a freight and passenger steamer, plying between Montreal and Hamilton, stopping at Toronto.

Urban Outfitters & Primark
Firstly I got a black cropped t-shirt trimmed with black lace, which was a tad pricey at £25 but I absolutely love it and Urban Outfitters clothes are pretty good quality. I think it would look nice with some high wasted Jeans.
The next thing I got is a basic staple item, a V neck white t-shirt. This simple top was only £4, so I picked it up because the material is super soft and I can style it in so many ways as it goes with almost everything.
At the moment i'm a bit obsessed with pastel colours, so when I saw these adorable mini pastel satchels in Primark at only £6 each (Yes, they were only £6 each!) I had to pick one up. I originally only bought the pink one but loved it so much I ended up going back and getting the yellow one as well. They sell them in lots of different colours. They're adorable right?
Forever 21
Whilst staying with friends in Kent, I went out for lunch in the Blue water shopping centre and afterwards I had a quick little look around forever 21 since there aren't any near where I live. I first got a blue patterned dress which was only 8.99 in the sale which is an absolute bargain. It's quite a summery dress considering summer is basically over but I really liked it so I will probably wear it next summer or if I go out anywhere nice.
The next top I bought was a bright pink vest top form H&M, which has a high neck at the front but has a low crossed back. I recently wore this to a party teamed with black disco pants and a black lace bandeau underneath. It was £9.99. Typically I wouldn't go for a bright colour like this, but I thought you know , why not?
Here comes another pastel purchase. I bought this cropped baby pink t-shirt from Topshop a few weeks ago for £8. It has sheer stripes throughout, so I'm planning on wearing a white bandeau underneath it. I really ought to stop buying crop tops since I own an awful lot of them and winter is coming round.
Whilst In new look I bought my school bag, which is a large nude, grey and black bag. Normally I end up buying bags that don't fit all of my folders in them, so this year I decided to go big so everything could comfortably fit inside. I'm hoping that this bag lasts over half the year as I seem to always ruin my school bags and they constantly fall apart. It was £25, so hopefully it will be of a decent quality.
Have you posted a haul recently?

Many people that workout outdoors regularly during the summer months experience workout 'withdrawals' during the winter season. As the weather gets colder and the air becomes crisper, most people struggle to find the motivation to exercise outside during the winter months.
While the winter season does present challenges to your outdoor workout plans, most of the time it simply requires more creativity and preparation. As the holidays approach rapidly, your children will also soon be off school. They are going to need daily avenues to expend their energy, or they will risk driving you crazy during the holidays.
In the winter, you should take the opportunity to spend time outdoors with your family. Spending time outdoors has many benefits, but we have provided just a few convincing arguments here:
Reduces Stress
Many studies have shown that time outdoors is directly correlated to stress levels. Those that spend more time outside tend to have lower stress levels, while those that contain themselves inside during the winter can easily become stressed about love, life, and their health. The outdoors provides us with an opportunity to slow down, breathe, and consider where the stresses in our life are coming from.
Incites Natural Body Reactions
Cold air on your body can actually have a profound effect on your body's ability to handle the changing conditions. Going outside and breathing cold air in through your nose communicates valuable and season-appropriate information to your genes so that your body naturally responds to the demand.
Resets Circadian Rhythms
Many people believe that being outdoors for at least part of the day helps to reset circadian rhythms in your body. Your circadian rhythms are the natural bodily patterns of waking and sleeping in sync with the rising and setting of the sun. Getting in touch with nature can help you get onto a more appropriate sleep pattern.
Promotes Weight Loss
Exercising outside in the winter is also healthy for your body because your body will naturally increase your metabolism in order to adjust to the outside temperature. Exposure to cold winter air also helps to balance hormones and promote weight loss.
Strengthens Head and Heart
Exercising outdoors is a great way to strengthen your heart all year round, as well as increase your respiratory response. Colder, thinner winter air only increases these effects. On a psychological level, exposure to nature tends to incite positive emotions for many of us, while our negative emotions decrease, or fall away entirely.
Those who spend a significant amount of time outdoors will rave about nature's wonderful gifts. The benefits of natural light and clean, refreshing air will not only improve physical health, but they can also contribute greatly to spiritual and emotional health as well.
All humans possess an innate connection to nature. This connection begins when the body is exposed to the natural elements. Taking your family outdoors to enjoy a variety of activities during the winter will prove both invigorating and revitalizing for everyone!

History Behind The Card: "Gastamabide & Mengin" Monoplane, 1908
Name: Léon Levavasseur, January 8, 1863 – February 26, 1922, in Cherbourg, France
Name: Jules Gastambide, February 26, 1846 – April 11, 1944, in Caen, France
When I first starting getting a hold of these Wills's aeroplane cards, I did so only because I was writing a magazine article about Canada's first aeroplane – a century retrospect of The Silver Dart, and as such, I knew nothing at all about aviation save that it was the Wright Brothers who created it all.
Obviously I was wrong, as my research into the history of aviation seen here in this blog has taught me.
The 50-card collection I amassed also taught me that despite bi-planes and tri-planes being the norm in WWI, monoplanes had actually been created at around the same time… and for some reason the concept of single wing craft (monoplanes) was deemed the less successful way. Obviously time has proven the viability of monoplanes over the now unused designs involving bi-planes et al.
To start, regardless of this Wills's card #34, the proper spelling for this particular craft is, as follows: 'Gastambide-Mengin I'. The '&' is incorrect. There is also a Roman numeral I included.
The 'Gastambide-Mengin I' is a monoplane designed and built by by Léon Levavasseur and fitted with a 50-hp Antoinette engine—the Antoinette motor would become the premier engine for aviators during the very early years of heavier-than-air flight.
The tractor (propeller at the front) monoplane was first flown on February 8, 1908 at Issy-les-Moulineaux, France by Monsieur (first name?) Boyer, a mechanic for the firm Gastambide-Mengin, and flew for several meters that day.
On February 13, Boyer made short hops of 100- (328 feet) and 150-meters (492 feet), and on February 14 of made several hops up to 60-meters (196.9 feet) in length before crashing. In rebuilding and improving the plane, it was now dubbed the 'Antoinette II' (see Wills's card #39 for more on the 'Antoinette' aeroplanes – coming soon).
The 'Gastambide-Mengin I' was 7.9-meters (25.92-feet) long, had a wingspan of 10-meters (32.81 feet), held one pilot and had an empty weight of 350-kilograms (771.62-lbs). It was the design of this aeroplane that was the basis of his hugely successful 'Antoinette IV' of 1908-9.
This Wills's card celebrates the achievement of the Antoinette motor, so here's some background information on it:
The Antoinette began as a private venture led by Levavasseur and financed by Jules Gastambide, who owned an electricity generating station in Algeria.
When vacationing together in 1902 and discussing the possibility of fabricating light engines for aviation, Levavasseur suggested naming those engines after Gastambide's daughter Antoinette.
With Gastambide financing things, Levavasseur built and patented a new type of engine called a V-8 that was both light and powerful and now known as the Antoinette.
Later features of the Antoinette engines would include direct fuel injection and evaporative engine cooling.
By 1904, most of the prize-winning speedboats in Europe were powered with Antoinette engines. During this time, he designed engines of various configurations of up to 32 cylinders.
The partnership was eventually incorporated as Antoinette in 1906 with Gastambide as president, Levavasseur as technical director and Louis Bleriot (see Wills's card #38) as vice-president.
The company's primary business was to be the sale of engines to aircraft builders, but when the company decided to begin constructing aircraft, Bleriot quit arguing that they were now going into direct competition with their own customers.
Although speed boats and cars utilized the motors, Antoinette was the primary source for aviators, with Alberto Santos Dumont (see Wills's card #33) using it on his '14-bis', and Gabriel Voisin bi-plane (see Wills's card #37) that was flown by Henri Farman (see Wills's card #41) who used it to fly the first one-kilometer circular flight in Europe in January of 1908.
In 1907, Levavasseur was the designer behind the 'Gastambide-Mengin I' monoplane, and it was this design which formed the basis of his successful and elegant 'Antoinette IV' of 1909.
In the spring of 1909, Antoinette pilot Hubert Latham made several impressive flights. This convinced Levavasseur that Latham could cross the English Channel in an Antoinette aircraft and win the Daily Mail prize for doing so. Latham made two attempts to cross the English Channel in July 1909, both of which were unsuccessful due to engine failure while over the Channel. Between Latham's attempts, former Antoinette vice-president Blériot successfully crossed the Channel in his own aircraft. That month, Levavasseur was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.
Latham's efforts to promote Levavasseur's Antoinette products were more successful at the Grande Semaine d'Aviation de la Champagne on August 22–29, 1909 at Reims, France, where he won the altitude prize, finished second in the speed competition, took third place in the Gordon Bennett Cup for aeroplanes, and, in the Grand Prix event, trying to fly the longest distance around the circuit in a single uninterrupted flight, he won second prize in one aircraft (an Antoinette IV) and fifth prize in another (an Antoinette VII). See HERE and HERE for a full story on this aviation event.
Levavasseur left the Antoinette company in November of 1909, but returned in March of 1920 as its technical director.
It was then that he tried to design a military monoplane known as the Monobloc Antoinette – a streamlined monoplane with cantilever wings. But, it was too heavy and has a weak engine and was unable to take off during the 1911 military trials held at Reims. This failure would eventually lead the Antoinette company into bankruptcy.
On his own, Levavasseur began working on an aircraft with variable wing surface in late 1918. The variable area wing design won Levavasseur a "Safety in Aeroplanes" prize and was later acquired by the French government.
Levavasseur died in poverty in February 1922.

Although dependent on the type and scale of the system under consideration, this type of consultancy service typically begins with an evaluation of existing plant layout and discussions with plant. From here, we would develop any follow-on pieces of work covering potential issues such as operating reliability, particle breakage or other practical design considerations, using our extensive range of characterisation tools or industrial scale equipment.
Examples of recent projects include:
- Evaluating changes in sugar quality resulting from the switching of storage and transport in big bags to bulk delivery by road tanker and storage and discharge from external reception silo.
- Evaluating levels of particle breakage for a cereal product resulting from the switch from mechanical to positive pressure pneumatic transfer.
- Evaluating levels of segregation throughout an existing bulk silo and determining redesign options to reduce discharge of out-of-specification contents.

At Find Me A Gift we consider ourselves expert in the quirky and so when it comes to cracking open a beer we think it should be an event. And therefore we've collated a range of novelty bottle openers that will have you swigging away in double quick time. That's the joy of a novelty bottle opener, a little bit of extra pleasure every time you break the beer seal.
It isn't all about the beer though, and for those who prefer a tipple of the grape we can provide you with equally exciting corkscrew shaped methods of opening bottles. The best corkscrew is the one that is always to hand and with our novelty variations you're sure to want to have it readily available for action.
Corkscrews and bottle openers are, of course, the perfect complement to any alcohol gifts you're planning to give. Or, to put that another way, if you need to find something for recipients to test out their new alcohol entry methods on then be sure to have a guzzle through our wine gifts category. And if vino doesn't quite fit the bill we've also have a diverse range of beer gifts.
When it comes to shipping your drink stuff , it's always safe and secure with Find Me A Gift. We can get the cork screw or bottle opener of your choice to you wherever you are in the UK, and to most international locales too! Happy cork popping!

Tied into the requirement to greater a lighter more vibrant guest experience, white "volakas look" tiles were applied to wall elevations with grey slate look tiles applied to flooring. These tiles were overlaid on top of existing tiles so as to reduce the programme window, offer commercial savings and also preserve the paying guests hotel experience through a reduction in the demolition content on the project. Within the typical Deluxe and Classic room bays, new rain shower facilities were introduced whilst retaining the existing shower location. Within the premier rooms, the existing bath tubs were re-polished whilst new rain shower facilities were created. Within the suites, a full reconfiguration of the bathroom footprint was undertaken with a view to optimising the new bathroom layout. New independent "island tubs" were installed to form a centre piece of the bathroom.
New bedside tables, lamps, study chairs, single seater sofas and new day/night curtains formed the standard fit out in respect of FF&E for the majority of rooms whilst the suite's also received new dining furniture and various antiquities to complete the guest experience.
All bedrooms received a new plaster ceiling pelmet backlit to improve levels of illumination. This involved the retention of a central slab soffit panel in the middle of the room and creation of a multi-level plaster ceiling and bulkhead detail.
The provision of new built in joinery to wardrobes, bed head panels, study desk, luggage rack and TV wall panel formed the main fit out component of the rooms. All built in joinery typically comprised of walnut veneers and a mixture of black galaxy and black forest marble was utilised. Within the bedhead panel careful coordination of room technology and lighting controls was required whilst the main wardrobes required the integration of new switchboard panels.
Wallpaper was a central finish to all rooms and careful preparation of substrate was a key requirement managed through ISG's room readiness snagging undertaking. Corridors and lobbies received new set plaster ceilings, high gloss sprayed timber panels with architectural metalwork inlay and overlays, colour back glass and 42 oz broadloom carpets and tiled border

Sydney Cruises
Sydney cruises provide a vital transportation link and unparalleled sightseeing opportunities as they do in many cities situated along beautiful natural harbors and with major rivers that have outlets to the sea. Additionally, ocean-going cruises to Sydney Australia can even take the place of flights. Additionally, they provide opportunities to stop at various ports while traveling in the comfort of your own stateroom. Many of these cruises begin in far-flung places, including the West Coast of the United States, Indonesia and other ports in Asia, and may even be on around-the-world journeys. Often, ports of call in neighboring New Zealand are part of the itinerary. Ports of call on the vast island nation of Australia also can include Adelaide, Hobart (gateway to Tasmania), and of course Cairns and Port Douglas (gateways to the magnificent Great Barrier Reef).
If you are just concentrating on the most populous city in the country, you will find that Sydney cruises take advantage of one of the largest and most extensive natural harbors in the world. In addition to the Paramatta River, a major navigable river that cuts the city in half, and the Hawkesbury River that provides excellent freshwater fishing and white water rafting.
Sydney Harbour cruises are among the most popular with visitors, as these pass by (or under) some of the most iconic landmarks in the world—the graceful arch of the Harbour Bridge and the soaring white sails of the Sydney Opera House. Among the most popular of these are the Sydney dinner cruises that often set out before sunset so that passengers can enjoy cocktails as they admire the skyline that begins to illuminate itself as the sun goes down. After this, dinner is enjoyed onboard. Sometimes these Sydney dinner cruises have the added bonus of entertainment. It might be simply a dance band or more elaborate cultural entertainment.
It is possible to charter the entire boat for both Sydney Harbour cruises and Sydney dinner cruises for special events like weddings and other unique occasions. On the other end of the scale, there are numerous ferries providing both vital transportation links for local commuters as well as cheap sightseeing tours for a Sydney day trip or for a couple hours. The major transportation hub of Circular Quay has the largest number of ferries, in addition to the marinas where fishing boats and other yachts are berthed.
The kind of boats used for Sydney cruises vary greatly. There are catamarans and opulent sailing yachts, high-speed ferries, and solid working fishing boats. They can be chartered for an hour or the full day. You can set out on a breakfast or lunch cruise, or a full dinner cruise. You can head to the coast north of the city for excellent scuba diving or out to sea for some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. From April through December, your cruise might involve some of the best whale watching available in the southern hemisphere. Sydney Harbour cruises can allow you to participate in fishing tournaments, watch sailing regattas, or marvel at one of the world's best New Year's Eve firework displays.

Today everyone in Central and West Oahu has only one major route into town, H-1. It doesn't matter if you are coming from Waianae, Kapolei, or Ewa on H-1 or from Central Oahu down H-2, everyone who lives west of downtown must go through the H-1 bottleneck.
We need a second access route for West Oahu into downtown, and crossing Pearl Harbor is the most logical path. The City Council is now looking at a proposal we introduced that extends the existing Iroquois Road from Ft. Weaver Road over Pearl Harbor. We are examining building two short bridges across the West Loch to the Waipio Peninsula and then to Ford Island to link up with the existing Ford Island Bridge. This route will connect directly to Kamehameha Highway at the stadium, providing West Oahu with a direct access to H-1 and Nimitz at Pearl Harbor and the airport.
This new route provides broad relief. Connecting Ford Island to the Ewa plain will take thousands of cars off of H-1 and improve traffic for Central Oahu drivers at the H-2 merge and Pearl City/Aiea drivers entering H-1. If we can use private funding and federal defense appropriations, we believe this project can be built in a fraction of the time, without any additional tax increase.
Recognizing this potential solution, the City Council budgeted money to study the feasibility of this Ewa to Ford Island route. As the city initiates its analysis of Oahu's mass transit solutions, we are asking that the mayor and his administration begin the process of examining this proposal.
We recognize that legitimate concerns raised by the Navy regarding the project need to be addressed and initial discussions already have been held with the Naval Command and our state's federal congressional delegation. We appreciate the military's openness and willingness to work with the city to find a sensible solution to our traffic woes. We believe this bridge project can provide the Navy with a vital link between Pearl Harbor and Kalaeloa, should the Navy locate an aircraft carrier in Hawaii.
If you look at a map of Oahu, connecting the Ewa plain to Ford Island simply makes sense. While it is separate from the potential big-ticket solutions of rail and HOT lanes, we look forward to analyzing this piece of the transportation puzzle that deserves attention.

Looking at the sunrise 12:00 in a cold snowy morning at þingvellir national park is a natural wonder. The spectacular landscape is smoothed by Lake Þingvallavatn.
Iceland is trapped between two continents as it is largely positions between two tectonic plates of Eurasia and North America. When these plates move apart, volcanic material rises naturally. The island is a hotspot with all the bubbling hot water and volcanic activity. Two severe earthquakes in 2000 were a result of movement of the Eurasian and North-American tectonic plates. We found ourselves suddenly in Europa just driving a couple of meters from the North-America tectonic plate to the Eurasian one. The picture below shows this geographic boundary between two tectonic plates.
"So now me are leaving America, and that's kind of neat"- to put it in guide's own words.
Þingvallavatn Park
Gullfoss (Golden Falls) is one of the most popular waterfalls in Iceland part of the Golden Circle tour. No wonder Gullfoss is in World's Top 10 Waterfalls list. It's scenery with a drop of 32 m high is breathtaking. Absolute in the Must-see list. Also a very interesting saga behind the history of the waterfall, which would have not been here without the fighting of Sigríður Tómasdottir. She was the daughter of the landowner who was about to sell the land to parties with an interest in developing hydroelectricity in the area. She threatened her father that she would jump into the falls if he did't withdraw from the deal. Here is a fantastic Video of the Waterfall 🙂

February 2017 Flip Through | Happy Planner As A Daily Memory Keeper
Hey there friends!
I'm back with a new Happy Planner flip! I've made several changes to how I'm crafting my memory planner in 2017, so if you missed the last couple of posts, I shared the new updates and exciting changes that I started with my December 2016 Happy Planner Flip Through.
You can check out the video below of my February flip or keep scrolling for images of this month.
I'm having fun gathering images for my monthly collections on Pinterest. This month I collected antique fans. I thought they would be fun and flirty in keeping with Valentine's Day. You can check out my board with the full antique fan collection and follow me on Pinterest to see each month's collection as I add a new board each month.
For this month's Currently page I highlighted the wonderful Elvis Lives show, the MN Planner Crawl and my preparations for National PlannerCon.
For Valentine's Day, Jose took me to see the Elvis Lives show which came to St Paul's Ordway Theater. There aren't even words to describe how wonderful this show was!! Months later, I am still gushing over this show. If you're a fellow Elvis fan, I definitely recommend it 🙂
I decked out Valentine's week with a love letter and heart theme. It was fun to pull out my stash and decorate my pages with all kinds of Valentine-y things!
Mid month I used a boho theme with stickers and embellishments from Dollar Tree and Michaels.
My mom visited during the last week of the month, so I used a Betty Boop theme since she's a big Boop fan.
Thanks for stopping by friends! Wishing you a great week!

The absurdly outrageous, sarcastically satiric, and always entertaining New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore returns in finest madcap form with this zany noir set on the mean streets of post-World War II San Francisco, and featuring a diverse cast of characters, including a hapless bartender; his Chinese sidekick; a doll with sharp angles and dangerous curves; a tight-lipped Air Force general; a wisecracking waif; Petey, a black mamba; and many more
San Francisco. Summer, 1947. A dame walks into a saloon . . .
It's not every afternoon that an enigmatic, comely blonde named Stilton (like the cheese) walks into the scruffy gin joint where Sammy "Two Toes" Tiffin tends bar. It's love at first sight, but before Sammy can make his move, an Air Force general named Remy arrives with some urgent business. 'Cause when you need something done, Sammy is the guy to go to; he's got the connections on the street. Meanwhile, a suspicious flying object has been spotted up the Pacific coast in Washington State near Mount Rainer, followed by a mysterious plane crash in a distant patch of desert in New Mexico that goes by the name Roswell. But the real weirdness is happening on the streets of the City by the Bay. When one of Sammy's schemes goes south and the Cheese mysteriously vanishes, Sammy is forced to contend with his own dark secrets—and more than a few strange goings on—if he wants to find his girl. Think Raymond Chandler meets "Men in Black" with more than a dash of the Looney Tunes All Stars. It's all very, very Noir. It's all very, very Christopher Moore.
