Bear Lake is located on the Utah/Idaho border. It is called the Caribbean of the Rockies due to its beautiful emerald colors caused by the limestone found in the area.  It is amazingly beautiful here with so much to see and do, including watersports, 100s of miles of 4×4 or ATV trails, wildlife viewing, Raspberry festival, fishing, Logan Canyon, and so much more. Garden City is the main city on the shores of Bear Lake and although small has most of what you would need including restaurants, gas stations, and a large marina.

GLIMPSE – the talents of the autism community

They are painters, sculptors and photographers; poets and storytellers; musicians and creators of amazing video games. They are kids, teens and adults. Last year, a new online publication arose to celebrate the talents of autistic individuals and other developmental disabilities: GLIMPSE, offered by ICDL (The Interdisciplinary Council of Developmental and Learning Disorders). In late 2008, Volume 2 of GLIMPSE was released, and was expanded into a print book and notecards. The works are serious, humourous, deeply personal and illuminating. See it for yourself, share it with others, submit your own/your child’s work for inclusion in Volume 3, to release later this year. Find information and ordering details at www.icdl.com

Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl Who Played With Fire”(Flickan som lekte med elden)

Official Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdwvAvXUxc4

Release Date: August 27, 2010. W’Wide

Consensus: Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist remain extraordinarily well-suited to their roles, but the second installment in Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy doesn’t pack quite as much punch as the first.
