Newly Renovated, Inside & Out!!!!!!! Brand new kitchen, all new appliances,(dishwasher & disposal)Granite Counter-tops!!!!! Beech Mountain is the highest town in Eastern America and an ideal vacation spot in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. Our elevation (5,506 feet) sets us apart 12 months a year. Adorable Beech Mountain round house chalet. Located on a quiet & peaceful street just minutes from the slopes. This property is an upstairs unit, featuring a covered deck, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and a bright open relaxed & casual living space. Close to Ski Beech resort, Fred's Mercantile store & close to restaurants. Terrific views & many things to do atop the highest point on the coast...Wifi is available on specific time. There is an existing 1/2 bathroom being installed for a disabled person in the 2nd bedroom, but this property is listed as a 2 bedroom, 1 full bathroom..Sleeps 6 people, 1 queen bed, 1 full bed, & 1 queen pullout sofa sleeper with an inner spring mattress, in the living room by the fireplace.
We loved the house, just the right size for 4 people. It was comfortable and we had everything we needed to cook. Loved having a functioning fireplace. Beech Mt. was fun, the hiking was great!
I went for an extended weekend to Beech Mountain and stayed at this property. Upon arrival, the property was ready and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the property was nice a quaint. Had a very nice weekend and recommend this property to anyone wanting to enjoy a nice time at Beech
The Cabin was great very cozy and rustic. Now for 74 dollars a night and the one bad review I expected to find a dirty old cabin. I was wrong. For the age of the cabin it was very nice. Little cold but after a day on the slopes it warmed right up. The stairs are a little extreme in snowy conditions. Road is super easy to get to the Cabin but make sure if its snowy that you have 4x4. If you are on the fence about using this cabin pull the trigger because it is well worth it.
Before our arrival we requested an early check-in of which the owner, Chip, approved. The location of the house is great, as its only about a 10 minute walk from the slopes. My son is a big 8 and he made it just fine, though it would have been difficult if we had equipment with us coming back (uphill) One vehicle in our party was 2 wheel drive and made it in and out with no problem. having no experience in winter weather might make it a little tricky. Now my reason for the low review...upon our arrival there was dried onion pieces in the drain and a crusty dish cloth on the sink. The house had a musty smell but that can be expected in an older vacation house that stays closed up a lot. The refrigerator had food in the drawers and a half empty diet coke in the door. there was paper towel pieces stuck to and what looked like mold in the freezer door. Window sills were not wiped down and there was a piece of wire that my husband stepped on in the middle of the bedroom floor (just thankful he found it before my 9 month old) When I first got in, I did a bee line for the bathroom where I noticed the shelf in the shower was full of other people's shampoos and soap, to include Doggy Day Spa products. I moved it all to the medicine cabinet so we had room to put out own hygeine products. There was also what seemed to be blood on the toilet seat. I used a baby wipe to get rid of that before I did my business, so unfortunately that is one of the few things I failed to snap a picture of. My son was in the bathroom brushing his teeth and the sinks porcelain pedastool nearly fell over on him, it wasn't attached and the sink had not been attached nor caulked to the wall. Also, there was what appeared to be a used towel behind the bedroom door. The kitchen trash can was a foodstained linen-lined metal laundry bin with a trash bag in it. My parents accompanied us to babysit the baby and planned to watch the playoff games at the house while the rest of us hit the slopes, but unless you have a roku account its not possible. The amenities list the house as having some cable/satellite and that was totally misleading. Our biggest gripe and the reason we will never reserve this house again was cleanliness. There was a cleaning fee on a house that I had no choice but to clean on arrival. We understand that the price for renting the house was low and didn't expect much for space, upgraded appliances, etc. Had the house been cleaned, every other issue could have been overlooked.
This property was more than we could have asked for! Extremely cozy, clean, and in a wonderful location very close to Beech Mountain. It's just far enough off the main road to feel pretty secluded. The kitchen was fully stocked with any pots, pans, etc; you might need to cook a meal. It was around Christmas when we visited and we were first greeted by a lit-up Christmas tree and candles leading the way to the cabin. It's very apparent that the property owners take pride in their vacation rental. Why stay at a hotel when you can stay at a HOME with way more space and amenities for the same price or less? This cabin would be absolutely perfect for a romantic get-away or a family vacation. Thanks, Chip!
The cabin was very nice but even better was the customer service from the owner. I texted last minute asking if we could move up our check in time due to an earlier than anticipated travel arrival time. The owner was able to shuffle things around last minute with the cleaning staff and was able to accommodate our last minute request.

President Obama Wants A 'Cool' Phone
There's a good chance that your office or home is more tricked out, tech-wise, than the Oval Office.

UPDATE 1-Russia unlikely to ban Brazilian beef
* Russia is the largest buyer of Brazilian beef
* Does not see enough grounds to ban all imports from Brazil
By Melissa Akin
SKOLKOVO, Russia, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Russia, the largest buyer of Brazilian beef, is unlikely to ban all beef imports from Brazil due to a suspected case of atypical bovine spongiform encephalitis, the head of Russia's veterinary and phytosanitary service said.
"We are analysing the data now, but we do not see enough grounds to place import restrictions on the whole country," Sergei Dankvert said in an interview on the sidelines of a meeting with Italian diplomats.
China, South Africa and Japan suspended beef imports from the world's top meat exporter while seeking details about the death of an elderly cow in 2010, which never actually developed the disease. None of these countries are significant buyers of Brazilian beef.
Dankvert said that if restrictions were imposed, they would most likely apply to the state where the sample originated.
Atypical BSE can arise in elderly cattle due to a spontaneous genetic mutation that causes the animals to begin producing distorted proteins known as prions. The proteins can trigger BSE, which eventually destroys the animal's nervous system, and it is believed humans ingesting beef from a stricken animal can contract a fatal form of the disease.
A 13-year-old cow in southern Brazil tested positive for prions, a result confirmed by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) last week. But it died of other causes in 2010 and never actually developed the disease. Continued...

Bangalore, July 7 (UNI) Union Textile Minister Shankersinh Vaghela today demanded intervention of Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to end the agitation of four lakh diamond workers demanding hike in wages.
Talking to newspersons here, he said ''I have sympathy for the diamond workers, who are on agitation demanding wage hike.'' The minister said any delay in bringing an end to the strike would hurt the country's polished diamond export, to which Gujarat contributed substantially.
It may be recalled that more than four lakh diamond workers had been demanding wage revision by a minimum of 30 per cent, which had been rejected by the industry.
One worker had been killed and six others injured during such a stir in Bhavanagar in Gujarat recently.

Depending on where you live, who you are and the car you're insuring, there's only ever a limited amount you can do, but as a young person (I make it sound like a condition) myself I would echo the tips of others:
1. Add at least two older (40+), safe, drivers on the policy. Regardless of whether they're driving.
2. Use all three comparison sites (confused, money supermarket, compare the market) and any others you fancy. Also remember some insurers, eg. direct line, don't appear on sites (never been cheaper for me though)
3. Pay annually rather than monthly if you can, the fee for finance on insurance can be insane (like 100% sometimes)
4. It may even be worth getting a quote for business insurance if you do use the car for business (rather than just commuting) - you may be surprised as sometimes this is cheaper.
Still, insurance is a bit random. For example, I can get insurance on a £50k ferrari cheaper than a £5k M3, like for like. Presumably because a lot of £5k M3s get bent by young men. I paid less for insurance on my 911 than my 330Ci, although the 330ci was insured for work and 20K a year.
320 d e46 24 years old 1100 quid paid annually nearly 1400 if i pay monthly so saved nearly 300 there

U.S. cyclist Van Garderen opts out of Rio over Zika
(Reuters) - Cyclist Tejay Van Garderen has withdrawn from consideration for the U.S. team for the Rio Olympics over concerns that the Zika virus outbreak could present risks for his pregnant wife, USA Cycling said on Thursday.
U.S. health officials have concluded that infections by the mosquito-borne Zika virus in pregnant women can cause microcephaly, a birth defect marked by small head size that can lead to severe developmental problems in babies.
"Although the risks associated with the Zika virus can be minimal and precautions can be taken, my wife Jessica is pregnant, and I don't want to risk bringing anything back that could potentially have an effect," Van Garderen said in a statement through USA Cycling.
"If circumstances were different I would have loved to be selected again to represent the USA, but my family takes priority and it's a decision that I'm completely comfortable with.
"I hope that I'll be in the position to race at the 2020 Olympic Games."
Van Garderen competed in the road race at the 2012 Olympics, finishing 104th after working for team mate Taylor Phinney.
The Rio course would have suited him better as it contains a major climb, and he stood a strong chance of being selected for one of two time trial spots for the U.S. team, according to Cyclingnews.
Van Garderen will still have a busy schedule as he plans to ride in the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana, but said he will not compete in the world championships in Qatar.
The cyclist's decision came a week after more than 100 medical experts, academia and scientists called for the Rio Olympics to be postponed or moved because of fears that the event could speed up the spread of the Zika virus. Continued...

New Delhi, July 28: Mr Yadav is yet again in controversy. This time, the nation is gapping at the latest remarks made by the former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. Yadav said Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and senior BJP leader L K Advani will never become the Prime Minister of the country.
"Modi and Advani can never become the prime minister in their lifetime. Secular forces in this country would never allow the saffron outfit to come to power," the RJD chief told media here.
Yadav, who was here to pay obeisance at Kedareshwar temple, said people should be cautious against forces like Modi and Advani. Praising Rahul Gandhi, he said the Congress vice president wants to bring a change in the country. On Digvijay Singh, the RJD chief said he is a "good man".
While Yadav's intention may be to get the maximum number of Muslims and Yadav vote, RJD's main rival JD(U) has begun claiming that he has gone "soft" on the BJP.
JD(U) supporters also pointed out that when expelled BJP leader Ram Jethmalani claimed in a TV interview that Yadav will support Modi in making him PM, neither Yadav nor any other RJD leader contradicted him.
Jethmalani , a Modi supporter, is Yadav's lawyer in the fodder scam case.
However, RJD leaders were appalled at the suggestion. "I don't think Laluji will make such a remark seriously ," said RJD legislature party leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui.
Party general secretary Ram Kripal Yadav said, "Everybody knows Lalu is a sworn enemy of the BJP. How can he praise Modi?" When ET asked why the report hasn't been contradicted , he said Lalu would do it himself once he is back from Mirzapur.
Currently, the JD(U) continues to accuse Lalu of joining hands with the BJP on the time-worn premise that 'enemy's enemy is a friend' . JD(U) general secretary Bhim Singh said, "It's undeniable that both the RJD and BJP are on the same page in attacking the JD(U) government. Both called for bandh a day after the midday meal tragedy in Saran and also joined hands to protest against the Bodh Gaya blasts."
"Lalu is worried and will take a position that suits him politically, even if it means favouring Modi," said a senior party leader on condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile in Mirzapur where Yadav is holding a rally, Yadav has endorsed Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi as the next prime minister.
Yadav said in Mirzapur on Friday that Gandhi was "fit to be the prime minister and had all qualities of a bright leader".
"Rahul has nothing negative about him. If given a chance by the people of India, he would prove to be a good prime minister," he said.
Yadav also added that he did not want Narendra Modi to become the Prime Minister and that he would do everything to stop Modi from becoming prime minister. "I will do everything I can to stop Modi from becoming prime minister," he said.
He blamed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for "playing with the lives of school students "Whatever bad happens in Bihar is heaped on the opposition parties. This is very unfortunate," he said.
But the RJD strongman clearly accepted lack of unity among secular forces but added that "such forces would certainly come together to thwart communal forces from forming government".

Polly Evans had a mission: to learn everything possible about the howling, tail-wagging world of sled dogs. Fool's errand? Or the adventure of a lifetime? The intrepid world traveler was about to find out.
In the dead of winter, Polly Evans ventured to Canada's far northwest, where temperatures plunge to minus forty and the sun rises for just a few hours each day. But though she was prepared for the cold, she never anticipated how profoundly she'd be affected by that blissful and austere place. In a pristine landscape patrolled by wolves and caribou, the wannabe musher was soon learning the ropes of arctic dogsledding, careening across the silent tundra with her own team of yapping, leaping canines.
Shivering but undaunted, Polly follows the tracks of the legendary Yukon Quest, a dogsledding race more arduous than the Iditarod, witnessing a life-and-death spectacle she'll never forget. Along the way she makes a stop at the Santa Clause house in North Pole, Alaska (where the post office delivers unstamped mail), and witnesses the astonishing northern lights weaving green and red across the sky. And before the snows melt in spring, Polly will have discovered a deep affection for the loving, mischievous huskies whose courage and enthusiasm escort her through the delights and dangers of living life at the extreme—in one of the most forbidding places on earth.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
I flew out on Friday, January 13, and returned home on April 1. The dates had almost selected themselves, but they seemed curiously appropriate, for I feared I was embarking on a fool's errand. I was going to spend eleven weeks, in the heart of winter, in one of the most inhospitable climates on earth.
The Yukon is a triangular-shaped territory in the far northwest of Canada. It borders Alaska to the west; at its northern tip lie the icy waters of the Beaufort Sea. Other people travel to the Yukon in the summer, when they can enjoy the long, balmy days that blend one into another with little darkness between. In September, though, the tourists pack their bags and leave. The attractions close. The museums' doors are bolted and the buses are laid up until May. Even most Canadian people, who so proudly extol their pitiless winters when basking comfortably in the sun elsewhere, shiver at the thought of coming this far north during the frozen months. The average temperature in the Yukon in January is minus 15 degrees Fahrenheit, but the mercury can plunge much lower. Temperatures dip regularly into the minus forties; once, they dived to minus 81.
But there's another side to winter in this harsh land. As the nights grow longer, the milky jade and blood red of the northern lights weave across the skies. The snowshoe rabbits' coats turn spotless white, and the Arctic foxes wear plush, dramatic furs. Winter has late blue dawns and the warm buttery light of the low midday sun. It has the jagged gems of hoarfrost and soft, feathery snow. Winter is the season of solitude and pure, glorious silence. And in winter, the sled dogs run.
It was the dogs that drew me. During my time in the north I'd be based at Muktuk Kennels, the operation of one of Canada's most famous mushers, Frank Turner, and his wife, Anne. I'd scoop poop, help with feeding, and learn to drive a sled. From Muktuk, I'd make further trips around the region. I'd follow the Yukon Quest—a thousand-mile dogsled race that runs between Fairbanks, Alaska, and Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory. I'd visit Dawson City, the town that sprang up in response to the frenzied Klondike gold rush. I'd fly to the very far north, to the Arctic Ocean itself. And through it all, I'd learn all I could about the howling, capering, tail-wagging world of sled dogs.
A short, stocky man with a salt-and-pepper beard and a well-worn red parka pushed through the swing doors of Whitehorse's airport, a tiny one-gate place where arrivals and departures were not just in the same building; they were in the same room. I recognized his face from his website photographs.
"Frank?" I asked.
"You're Polly?"
At this time, in January 2006, Frank Turner was the only person to have competed in each of the twenty-two Yukon Quest dogsledding races since the event's inception in 1984. Frank won the race in 1995 and still held the record for the fastest time. This year, Frank—who, in his late fifties, was wondering if he might be getting a little old for that kind of adventure—would not be entering the race, but his twenty-five-year-old son, Saul, would be running a team.
There was no call for feats of cold-weather endurance on that first night, though: Frank had parked his truck conveniently close to the airport's door, and we ventured just a few steps through the cold night air. In any case, the evening was warm by the Yukon's standards, a mere nine degrees, according to the pilot on the plane. I'd been concerned about what I should wear on the journey: Would I need my long woolen underwear to walk from the airport door to the car? But might I then overheat on the plane? In the end I'd put on ordinary jeans and sneakers, the car was near, and I was fine.
We drove out of town and onto the Alaska Highway toward Muktuk.
"Saul's baby was born on Wednesday," Frank announced as we sped through the darkness. "She's called Myla. She's beautiful."
Conversation moved on to the construction of the road.
"The Alaska Highway was originally built during the Second World War," Frank explained. Alaska was considered by the U.S. military to be vulnerable to Japanese invasion: The Japanese wanted to control the shipping lanes in the northern Pacific, and the attack on Pearl Harbor had crippled the Navy's Pacific fleet. In response to this threat, the Americans set up a defensive line of airfields along the Alaskan coast, and this road, running 1,550 miles from British Columbia to Fairbanks, Alaska, was built to supply them.
"The Japanese wanted to bomb the highway as it was a major supply route, so they built it like this." Frank took one hand from the steering wheel and snaked it into violent meanderings. "That way they couldn't take out whole sections of the road at once. And then the war ended, and they spent the next sixty years and goodness knows how many millions of dollars straightening it out."
About twenty minutes later, we turned off the main road and wound down a steep, snowy back road that had known little attention beyond the ministry of Frank's snowplow.
"This is all First Nations land." Frank gestured toward the woods that surrounded us. Frank and Anne's hundred-acre ranch lay just below where we were now, on the banks of the Takhini River. They had bought the plot just six years previously.
"We were really lucky to get this place so close to town," Frank remarked as we rounded one last bend in the road. And then, seeing a light in an upstairs window of the large log house that stood on the far side of the clearing, "Oh, dear, Anne's still up." He paused before adding, "She never sleeps."
In front of the house a wide, flat yard was dotted with neat rows of small wooden boxes. These were the dogs' houses; it was now past midnight and most of them were asleep in their straw. One sole incumbent stood to attention outside his hut, a dark silhouette in the night. Then, as the headlights picked up his form, we could see him more clearly: a large, dark-coated, tufty-haired husky. He gave three sharp barks in recognition.
"That's Tank," said Frank. "All our dogs are friendly."
We unloaded my bags and carried them up the steps to the main door. A narrow hall opened on to the main room, where Anne greeted us. She was a short, pale-skinned woman in her mid-fifties, wearing a baggy sweatshirt and wide-rimmed glasses. Her long, straight, graying hair was tied back into a ponytail. A smallish black and white dog with vivid blue eyes and a slightly waddling gait trotted up alongside her.
"This is Angel," said Frank. "She's deaf." Angel was now an elderly lady, but her ears had been useless since birth. Frank had given her years ago to Anne as a present.
"Talk about bringing coals to Newcastle!" Anne roared with laughter as she told the story. "Frank's only ever given me two presents. One was the bone from a whale's penis, and the other was a deaf dog!"
(I later discovered this wasn't entirely true. There was also a rather beautiful painting by a First Nations artist, depicting a spirit grandmother watching over the subsequent generations of her family, that hung on the living-room wall.)
Frank's tale about the acquisition of Angel was slightly different: He had gone to a breeder and paid a lot of money for two sled dogs. Worried about how he was going to explain this expenditure to his wife, he found his thoughts settling upon a small deaf puppy with pretty blue eyes that the breeder was giving away. "Maybe that will calm her down," he thought.
It later transpired that in her younger days Angel had been a useful lead dog when harnessed next to a reliable partner. The lead dogs are the front pair, and the rest of the team—usually harnessed two by two…follows their example.
"If her partner followed the commands, she was great," Frank said.
Of course, if the partner ignored the musher's orders, poor Angel was no help at all.
On the floor of the living room lay a thick-coated gray and white female. She thumped her tail with arthritic enthusiasm and struggled to rise to her feet.
"This is Louise," Frank went on. "She's fifteen." He walked into the hall and opened the door so that this benign geriatric could go outside one last time before bed.
"Come on, Louise! Come on, Louise!" he called emphatically.
Louise tried her best, but her back legs were weak and her feet slipped on the painted wooden floor. Anne tried to haul her upward.
"No, she can do it. Let her get up on her own," Frank insisted, until Louise finally dragged herself to her feet and creaked out of the door.
"We keep this closed at night," said Frank, shutting a child gate between the main room and the hall once Louise had returned indoors. "Sometimes Louise has accidents."
He showed me upstairs to my room.
"We've put you in the house for now," he explained. The majority of Frank and Anne's tourism operation guests, and their staff, lived in a handful of cabins that lay among the trees to the side of the driveway. I'd move to one a few weeks later, when I'd returned from following the Yukon Quest.
"The washroom's next door," said Frank. On its door was pinned a sheet of paper instructing users in bold black capitals to keep the door CLOSED. "We always keep the door shut because the cats might get in," Frank said, then hesitated a little before adding, "I'm just afraid they might fall in the toilet and not be able to get out."
Wisely avoiding the perils of the sewerage system, a cat had taken up residence on my bed. She was an elderly, skinny tortoiseshell—I later learned she had thyroid problems, for which medication was administered twice a day. Her name was Kato. She had come to the Turner family many years ago from an animal-rescue shelter, and she still bore frostbite scars on her nose and ears as testament to her difficult youth. In her more boisterous days she used to ambush Scrapper, Frank and Anne's male Siamese, and so she was named after Inspector Clouseau's martial-arts-crazy manservant. She looked far from violent now.
I pushed Kato out on to the landing and soon fell into an exhausted sleep. It was eight a.m. now in England, and I'd left home more than twenty hours before. During the night, I woke to the sound of dogs howling. It was a strangely beautiful noise, like a plaintive singing. Some voices performed in a clear treble tone, while others took the lower ranges. I was almost certain that, if I listened carefully, I could detect the lusty meows of Kato trying to join in. Then, suddenly, as though led by a conductor wielding a concert baton, in unison they stopped.
Chapter Two
Muktuk means "whale blubber" in Inuit; apparently it tastes like hazelnuts. Fortunately for the jet-lagged urban tourist, however, the kennel's name has no influence on the breakfast menu. "I just liked the sound of it," Frank explained.
The time difference had woken me early the following morning, and when I'd heard clattering sounds in the kitchen downstairs, I emerged from my room. Frank was preparing coffee.
"We run a help-yourself system here," he told me. "There's fruit and cheese and salami and so on in the fridge." He yanked open the door of the hulking white refrigerator to display its copious contents crammed precariously into every cranny. "There are apples and bananas there," he went on, pointing to a chrome-and-mesh container that hung above the counter upon which outsized thermoses dispensed coffee and hot water. In a nearby box, teas of all creeds were bundled: Alongside the everyday Earl Grey and chamomile were green tea with peppermint infusion, ginger peach, and various takes on the theme of chai.
I'd been so tired the night before that I hadn't taken in much about the house, so now I was looking at it as if for the first time. This floor, raised from ground level, was open plan and had a relaxed, lived-in feel. In front of the kitchen counter, the dining and sitting area was dominated by a long table covered by a blue cloth. Behind the table, a pine staircase led to the second floor and a door gave on to the ground-level garage. The opposite wall of the living room was taken by a long, comfy gray sofa; to one side sat a pink-upholstered rocking chair. Central heating kept the building warm. A bathroom with a shower lay off the living room; outside its door, a large pantry cupboard contained boxes of granola bars and oatmeal, enormous tubs of powdered stock, and all manner of other dry ingredients.
The walls were covered with photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches of dogs past and present. Some were portraits in pencil or pastel. Others were huge framed photographs: Frank and his Quest team silhouetted against a spectacular tangerine sunset; the dogs of a Japanese friend who undertook an arduous mushing journey through the Arctic; a smaller photograph of a much younger Frank with a dog and Saul as a very small child. Some paintings were large and painstakingly executed. Others were simple posters in frames, recalling Yukon Quests of years gone by. There were wobbly children's drawings of mushers and sled dogs executed in pencil and felt-tip pen. On the fridge door was stuck a cartoon that had been sent via e-mail. A man was holding up a dog, its underside to his face. The caption, in a balloon from his wife's mouth, read, "Frank! Let him lick his own balls! I swear you spoil that dog rotten!"
Strangely, for a place so governed by the comfort of its canine inhabitants, the house didn't smell strongly of dogs. Neither did the furnishings appear to be excessively coated in their hair. It was curious: At home in London, I tended to sneeze in houses where dogs resided, but here at Muktuk, my nose didn't so much as tickle. Maybe it was because here both dogs and humans spent so much time in the healthy outdoor air.
The kitchen window looked out over the dog yard. It was still dark outside; I asked what time it would turn light.
At nine o'clock or so, Frank said, then darkness would fall again at four-thirty or five. The hours of daylight, then, weren't very different from those in England at that time of year.
We were silent for a few moments. The morning news murmured from a radio on the kitchen counter. From the garage below emanated light thumping noises, followed by the sound of spraying water.
"There's Sebastian," said Frank. "If you really want to get involved in what we do around here, he's the person you need to talk to."
He opened the door that led from the living room down a short staircase to the ground-level garage. Sebastian looked up from his task hosing down white cylindrical buckets. The noise had been their gentle clattering. He was tall and lean. He was wearing bright-red dungarees emblazoned with the logo of an Austrian beer company he had worked for the previous summer and a red-and-gray patterned woolen hat with earflaps.
Frank introduced us. I explained my earnest desire to shovel frozen dog poop at every opportunity; Sebastian didn't think there would be a problem.

Grand Ronde, OR – On Saturday, September 6th the FCFF will host "Battle at the Mountain" at Spirit Mountain Casino! There will be a 170-pound Pro Fight "Main Event" along with four FCFF Amateur Championship Title fights. The undercard is bursting with talent and features three female fights!
Leanne Foster is fighting on the Undercard at "Battle of the Mountain," but she is the current FCFF 145-pound and 155-pound Champion. Her competitor: Holly Thorpe of Milwaukie, Oregon is debuting into the sport by taking a job no one else wants – battling the Champ. Foster won the dual FCFF Titles in 2013. First, she took home the Lightweight Championship Title at Rumble @ The Roseland 72 by defeating Veronica Wilson by a round one armbar. Then, at the 2013 Battle at the Mountain event in November she defeated Kirsten Allen via a round one tapout to earn the 155LB Title.
The two women facing each other in the 140-pound division have something in common – they've both lost to Leanne Foster and they're both hungry for a win. The match-up between Kirsten Allen and Veronica Wilson could easily become one of the 'fights-of-the-night!' This match-up could produce fireworks as these two women need a win to move one step closer to a rematch with Foster.
In the 105-pound division Kelly Vilarino of Ashland Oregon will face MMA newbie: Angel Carlon. Vilarino has one win under her belt from the "Budo Fights 6" event in 2011; over Crystal Jewell via a round two submission.

As noted they are made with both ends open (perfect if you want to add another J Rack next to each other for a longer display) or both ends closed. Each of these have a 2 1/2" front lip and made from 1/8" acrylic.

In 2007, to the consternation of his friends, the prominent gay rights campaigner Michael Glatze, co-founder of Young Gay America magazine, announced he had become a Christian and been "healed" of his homosexuality, a stance he has maintained since, training as a pastor, setting up his own church and continuing to denounce gay life.
Supported by Gus van Sant, debut director Justin Kelly tells Glatze's story in I Am Michael with a fairness and responsibility that prevents him ridiculing his stance as vigorously as he might like, compromising the film's impact.
Zachary Quinto plays Michael's wounded boyfriend, Emma Roberts his Christian wife — but the movie is made by a fine performance by James Franco, also a producer. He is equally convincing as happy gay Michael and as the hard-faced convert, so his transformation cannot simply be dismissed as delusional, however insulting it is to gay identity.
Glatze's former friends now speculate he may never have been gay at all — and this discomforting drama received a muted reception at the LGBT-friendly Panorama strand here in Berlin.

This is a discussion on Amtrak Concealed Carry Question within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hey guys, can anyone point me in the direction of some more info on concealed carry as a passenger on Amtrak trains in the US? ...
Hey guys, can anyone point me in the direction of some more info on concealed carry as a passenger on Amtrak trains in the US? Is this a big no-no? Can I carry-on and rearm at my destination? My question is about CCW holders.Thanks in advance.(Amtrak site has some disturbing verbage..."The following kinds of items are prohibited as both checked and carry-on baggage:
Any type of gun, firearm, ammunition, explosives, or weapon")
"...for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." Matthew 26:52
Their policy is pretty straightforward, and pretty much the main reason why I refuse to take an Amtrak anywhere.
Discretion is the better part of valour; and a virtue beyond reproach.
Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association
The short answer is NO.
For non-LEO's there ain't no way around it and the only LEO exception is for On-Duty Federal/Amtrak Police, as far as I'm aware.
Looks like from the posts that they will not allow firearms, but maybe they have one of them "double your money back" policies that if you get killed, you are eligible for, only problem is you have to apply for it in person!!!
To bad that they claim to want us to take "public transportation" for all of there right reasons, but they are not very accommodating. Kind of a sad situation. I aways thought "someday" when I have the time it would be fun to take a train though the USA. Good Luck
Thanks all.
"...for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." Matthew 26:52
There are absolutely NO security checks on trains..at least the last time I got on one their weren't...
This was before I carried or even thought about carrying. I've also gone from here to Chicago on Amtrak, a 5 hour ride and I liked it. But now that I carry, I wouldn't ride train for nutn.
Last time I rode Amtrack, about a year ago, I had to go through a metal detector before getting on the train and there were signs all around about no weapons.
As I understand it, TSA is going to be taking over the security for passenger trains and it will--at some point in the future--be pretty much identical to getting on an airplane.
Guess I'll just keep on driving where I want to go, since Amtrak, like other public tranportation, doesn't seem to want my business.
"If we loose Freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the Last Place on Earth!" Ronald Reagan
Gotta really watch the security on Amtrack.
The passengers might hijack the train and drive it into a building.
More from the brilliant minds department.
BTW, I love the high speed train on the East coast. It beats flying for both comfort and convenience.

Hyderabad, Dec 27: Barely twenty-four hours after a media sting operation exposed a sex scandal at the Raj Bhavan, the Andhra Pradesh governor ND Tiwari resigned citing 'poor health'.
ND Tiwari submitted his resignation to President Pratibha Patil and stepped down on health grounds, said a one-line statement issued by the Raj Bhavan on Saturday, Dec 26.
This came a day after a local Telugu news channel called 'ABN Andhra Jyothy' aired explicit footage reportedly showing the governor in a compromising position with three young women.

Victoria Hopper, actress: born Vancouver, British Columbia 24 May 1909; married 1934 Basil Dean (marriage dissolved 1939), 1951 Peter Walter (deceased); died New Romney, Kent 22 January 2007.
The actress and singer Victoria Hopper was a petite blonde who was at her height of popularity in the Thirties, when she starred in such films as Lorna Doone and The Mill on the Floss, appeared in the West End production of the Kern/ Hammerstein musical Three Sisters, and was one of the pioneering performers on live television. Her marriage to Basil Dean, the producer-director who initiated the building of Ealing Studios, gave a boost to her career, though inevitably there were accusations that he overrated her talents.
Born in Vancouver, in 1909, to a housepainter father, she was raised in Trail, a small town in the Canadian Rockies, where she displayed early musical prowess, winning an all-Canada piano competition. After her family moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in 1922, she enrolled at the Webber-Douglas School of Singing, where she was spotted in a school production and given the title role in the play Martine at the Ambassadors Theatre (1933).
Among those impressed by her work in the show were directors Carol Reed and Basil Dean. Dean, who had co- written with Margaret Kennedy a stage version of Kennedy's 1924 novel The Constant Nymph, was about to start a film version but had not yet cast the key role of Tess, the sickly schoolgirl passionately in love with a composer who marries her cousin. Hopper was given the role, co-starring with Brian Aherne. (The novel had already been filmed as a silent in 1928 and was to be made again in 1943 with Joan Fontaine winning an Oscar nomination as Tess.) Dean's direction brought out the poignancy of the piece, and Hopper's performance was well received.
Dean then gave her the title role in his film version of Lorna Doone (1934), though this found less favour and is best remembered now for featuring the first speaking part of the later superstar Margaret Lockwood. Hopper, who became Dean's third wife on completion of the film, was judged too delicate as the heroine of the lusty romantic adventure. Dean recorded in his autobiography,
I thought Lorna would be ideal for her: an unspoilt personality, a determined chin, steadfast character, and a pleasant light singing voice seemed exactly suited to Blackmore's heroine.
Hopper's stage career had continued with an appearance in the 1933 Christmas attraction at Drury Lane Theatre, Humperdinck's opera Hansel and Gretel, in which she was admired for her sweetly girlish rendition of the score, and she was next cast in the lavish Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein musical Three Sisters (1934). Hopper played one of three daughters of an itinerant photographer (the others were played by Adele Dixon and the lanky comedienne Charlotte Greenwood) and introduced the song Kern had hoped would be the hit of the show, the lovely ballad "What Good Are Words", but the musical, which was booed by the gallery on opening night, lasted just six weeks and produced only one enduring song, "I Won't Dance", which was written for Adele Dixon, but did not become a hit until interpolated into the Astaire/ Rogers movie Roberta (1935).
In 1936 Dean gave Hopper the role she would later say was her favourite, that of Constance Weber, the wife of Mozart, in the biographical film Whom the Gods Love. Location shooting in Vienna and Salzburg, and music by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Thomas Beecham, resulted in an inflated budget and a financial failure. The slow pacing, and the inexperience of the leading man (Stephen Haggard, a nephew of Rider Haggard), were blamed, with some critics also questioning Dean's judgement in casting Hopper. "Everyone thought I'd married Basil just to further my career but this just wasn't true," she said recently:
Correct, he was older than me, but he was a charming man and so much more sophisticated than the other men I knew.
The Lonely Road (1936), produced by Dean but directed by James Flood, was a brisk thriller in which Hopper helped an alcoholic (Clive Brook) reform and round up a gang of smugglers. Another of the star's champions, Carol Reed, then directed her in one of her most popular films, Laburnum Grove (1936), a skilful adaptation of the J.B. Priestley play, in which she was persuasive as the daughter of a pillar of suburban respectability who is secretly a forger.
It brought Hopper some of her finest reviews, and was followed by The Mill on the Floss (1937), based on George Eliot's novel about feuding families in rural England. Hopper was Lucy Deane, whose feckless fiancé switches his affections to her cousin and best friend, Maggie (Geraldine Fitzgerald). Sweetly sympathetic, Hopper was particularly touching in her scenes with Fitzgerald, but it was her last film of note.
In 1938 Hopper playedTess again in a television production of The Constant Nymph, performed live at the Alexandra Palace studios. She played in several more television productions before the outbreak of the Second World War, and in 1939 she starred at the Saville Theatre in J.B. Priestley's Johnson Over Jordan.
When war broke out, Dean became a founding director of Ensa (Entertainments National Service Association), responsible for sending entertainers to the fighting men, and Hopper toured France, Italy, Egypt and the Middle East performing in the comedy Springtime for Henry, and she visited RAF bases across Britain, singing with the Central RAF Band. Though Hopper had divorced Dean (whom she later described as "a womaniser"), they remained friends, and she kept in touch with her two stepsons.
As the war drew to a close Hopper returned to the theatre, and, after touring with Cedric Hardwicke in The House on the Bridge (1944), she spent a year at the St Martin's Theatre in the hit thriller The Shop at Sly Corner (1945) playing Margaret Heise, the violinist daughter of an antique dealer, unaware that her father is in fact a convict escaped from Devil's Island.
She made a brief return to the screen starring with John Stuart and John Le Mesurier in John Gilling's neat little (37-minute) suspense movie Escape from Broadmoor (1948). Her last West End role was in the play Serious Charge (1955) at the Garrick Theatre, in which she took over the role of Hester Ryfield, a spinster who, when rejected by the new vicar, maliciously supports a youth who accuses the priest of sexual assault.
In 1951 Hopper married Peter Walter, an actor, a union which lasted until his death, and they made their home in a picturesque cottage on Romney Marsh.

Guess ESPN's Chris Berman knew what he was talking about when he nicknamed all-pro Falcons WR Roddy White "Rowdy'' Roddy in reference to former professional wrestler "Rowdy'' Roddy Piper.
Turns out, White is an unabashed grappling fan. This week, he revisited the origins of his hand-to-hand combat skills when he visited the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs as a guest of USA Wrestling.
White, the former two-time South Carolina prep-wrestling champion, took part in a promotional campaign with the amateur organization in an effort to link the benefits of wrestling to football. Ten wrestlers accompanied the receiver from James Island Charter High, his alma mater.
"Wrestling makes you a better football player,'' White told USA TODAY. "It is a great sport for discipline and it breeds toughness. You learn a lot about individual matchups, quickness, balance and getting away from guys. It helped me tremendously.''
White, 29, met Olympic gold-medal wrestling giant Rulon Gardner, whom he called a "funny guy.''
White began wrestling in high school at only 112 pounds before maxing out at 189 as a senior. His NFL playing weight is 212.
"I love wrestling,'' he said.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

We were at Asterion in the last week of season and practically had the hotel to ourselves! The people at Asterion were very friendly & polite & helpful! Thank you! Please heat the pool!
Size of 2bed appt and quiet location on beach
staff were very friendly and helpful, prices of food items served was very reasonable the music played at the pool area was too loud
good and clean environment, pleasant swimming pool, good food and large servings at hotel restaurant, spacy rooms, attentive to the rooms by the cleaners Stinginess in toilet paper, nasty smell around the garden- dirty beach by the hotel
Bianca, the receptionist. She was delightful. We stayed at the hotel during a petrol strike and she was very understanding and helpful. Out of the way with very little else around the area. Long way from Plateneas.
The staff were invariably friendly and helpful. The ppol was always clean and it was very close to the beach. It was very remote and a warning that it would be difficult without personal transport would have been very helpful. Although we didn't eat dinner in the hotel, the buffet food looked very unappetising and overpriced. The hotel was incredibly difficult to find at 11pm with appallingly inadequate sign; we drove past it 3 times without seeing it.
It was quiet and exellent swimming pool and benks and the rooms very nice. no
The hotel has the ideal location as it is situated directly on an endless sandy beach, the rooms are very spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff is also very kind and helpful. We loved waking up late and being served our breakfast while enjoying the view over the Mediterranean! To sum up, it was a wonderful holiday experience and we would strongly recommend the Caretta Beach!
Pleasant, helpful staff. Clean rooms and grounds. Beautiful setting on the beach. Better than expected food at the pool bar. Convenient access to more touristic services within 10 minutes drive. Walk to many local restaurants yet hotel itself is quiet and peaceful Beach was windy and pebbly.
The location of Caretta Beach is excellent and facilities are good considering the moderate price. The 2-room apartment we got is very spacious with 2 toilets and a big balcony that has a great view. The hotel staffs are very friendly and customer minded; there is a nice and cosy atmosphere. We really enjoyed our 5 days stay there. It would be even better, if the hotel could provide beach towel to the guest. The swimming pool could be better cleaned.

UPDATE 2-Agrium profit hit by frigid winter, lower fertilizer prices
(Adds sales details, share prices)
By Rod Nickel
May 6 (Reuters) - Canada's Agrium Inc reported on Tuesday a steep drop in first-quarter profit, hurt by a colder than usual winter across North America and a drop in fertilizer prices.
As the cold weather caused transportation problems and delayed spring planting in some areas, net earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter fell to $12 million, or 8 cents per share, from $146 million, or 98 cents per share a year ago.
"Agrium's first quarter is traditionally our seasonally lowest earnings quarter and this was exacerbated this year by the record cold winter across North America," Chief Executive Chuck Magro said. "However, farmer sentiment is positive this spring and we are now seeing good demand for crop input products and services."
Agrium forecast earnings of $3.85 to $4.35 per share for the busy second quarter, weakened by a March 22 outage at its Carseland, Alberta nitrogen facility. Analysts on average had expected $4.98.
The plant shutdown is likely to cut second-quarter availability of urea by about 130,000 tonnes, and of ammonia by about 30,000 tonnes.
Agrium is North America's biggest retail seller of seed, fertilizer and chemicals directly to farmers and also produces nitrogen, potash and phosphate fertilizer. The frigid winter and a record-large Canadian harvest last autumn overwhelmed Canadian railways that also transport the potash Agrium produces.
Excluding one-time items, earnings from continuing operations were $11 million, or 7 cents per share. On that basis, analysts on average had expected 5 cents a share in the first quarter, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Continued...

GBP/JPY Weekly technical Outlook
While the intra-week recovery in GBP/JPY was strong, it was limited well below 153.21 and reversed. GBP/JPY then dived to close the week near to the low and thus retain the bearish outlook. That is, whole rebound from 139.69 should have completed at 153.21 already, ahead of 61.8% retracement of 163.05 to 138.72 at 154.13. Initial bias is on the downside this week and break of 147.64 will affirm this case and bring fall resumption to 144.51 support first. Break there will target a retest of 139.69 low next. On the upside, however, a break of 151.72 will dampen this view again and put focus back to 153.22/154.13 resistance zone.
In the bigger picture, the bearish outlook remains unchanged with 61.8% retracement of 163.05 to 138.72 at 154.13 intact. Medium term rebound from 118.18, which is treated as correction to the larger down trend from 07 high of 251.90, has completed with a double top reversal pattern (162.56, 163.05). Fall from 163.05 is tentatively treated as resumption of the long term down trend and should target a new low below 118.81 after completing the current rebound from 139.69. However, note that decisive break of 154.13 fibonacci resistance will argue that fall from 163.05 has completed at 139.72 already. This will in turn argue that it's probably just a correction to the medium term rise only. Another high above 163.05 might be seen in such case before rise from 118.81 concludes.
In the longer term picture, fall from 251.09 is treated as resumption of multi decade down trend. Note that the fall from 215.87 is not treated as the fifth wave, but the third wave inside the third wave that started at 241.35. On resumption, the down trend will extend to 61.8% projection of 215.87 to 118.81 from 163.05 at 103.03 next, which is close to 100 psychological support.

Overall a good time
Sail Date: October 01, 2006
Reviewed: 7 years ago
Traveled As: Singles/Friends
Room Type: Suite
Our mini-suite was beautiful and we like the way the balconies were set up so that you could have some privacy. Other cruise lines have ships with balconies that are tiered and all plexiglass, so that you can see up, down and across to everyone's balcony. We slept with the sliding glass door open every night to listen to the ocean. It was well worth every penny we paid for that category cabin. We saw hundreds of dolphins, a sea lion and sea turtles from our balcony.
The HIGHLIGHT of the shipboard experience for us were the bartenders in the Spinnaker Lounge, LEO and NILO. They were so friendly, unlike most of the bartenders, and always tried to entertain the guests. They worked so well together, and would play off one another. They danced around and actually seemed like they enjoyed their jobs and were having a good time, which in turn made it fun for the guests. Most of the other bartenders seemed tired and almost irritated that you were making them work, even though we usually tipped more in cash, on top of the automatic 15% gratuity. We were truly sad to leave Nilo and Leo. Also bar servers Alvin and Luchas were outstanding!
Pros: Freestyle dining, large bathroom in mini-suite, some OUTSTANDING crew members
Cons: The music on the ship in all venues was too slow and boring, overpriced drinks and shore excursions compared to other cruise lines, lack of fun activities for 20-30 somethings

Nanny in Ladysmith
My name is Jess (Jessica). I am a 23 year old girl. My education and professional life is that of a colourful one having dabbled in a bit of everything. I went to university for bacehlor of arts which then decided half way through it wasn't a dream job or a job at that! So I went back and received my medical office admin, I did that for about 3 months when, once again realized that it wasn't my dream job! Now fast forward 4 years, and I'm back in school for Pyschiatric Nursing (which is my passion). But my other passion is being a Nanny. I've been a nanny for the past 4 1/2 years full-time, with 3 wonderful little boys under the age of 7 (and many other families in between). It's been crazy busy, exciting, and they will always be such a big part of my life. I've traveled all around North/Central America, Europe & Africa. Being a nanny has changed my life is such an amazing way, and I look forward to working in the same environment so, I can learn more about different cultures, languages and just to do enjoy doing something I love! I love meeting people, going to new places and experiencing new things. I am creative, driven and a extremely personable person. I am hoping to find a family who can make me a part of their own, help me with the new culture and enjoy having me around. I am great with kids and animals, very tidy and clean and can cook a pretty decent meal. I always do everything to the best of my ability and am not scared of a challenge.
