Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Maximum longevity: 30.3 years (captivity) Observations: Despite its short longevity, this animal does not show explicit signs of ageing (Brocas and Verzar 1961). Reproductive senescence has not been demonstrated, but growth rates appear to slow down with age. An increased tensile strength in tendon collagen with age, a frequent marker of ageing in mammals, as been reported (Kara 1994).

Creating a website for your cat is fun and easier than you might think. You can celebrate with your cat by posting his history in pictures, like postcard designer Janalee Faucher did for her late but great Action Cat. She used stories of Action Cat's life as captions.
You can jump in at any technological level you wantfrom creating the page from scratch in HTML (hypertext markup language) to easy-to-use pre-programmed templates, available over the Web.
Five simple steps are all it takes.
1. Planning: The best way to start a Web page is with the old-fashioned tools of pen and paper. Write down every element you want to put into your pages: Lists of links, email addresses for you or your cats (it's more common than you might think), graphics, stories and notes of what you like from other cat-centric sites.
For a multiple-page site, draw a map indicating which sections and pages will link to others. Although users browsing the Web don't always browse in page order, it's good to have a site plan. This makes the intended path through your site clearer. Plan your first page with a table of contents, linking to every other page on the site. You can later copy and paste this into subsequent pages, and users will be able to get to any page in your site from any other page.
2. Words and Pictures: Edit longer stories in a real word processing program like Microsoft Word, which has a reliable spell checker. You can cut and paste the text onto your page later.
Not sure what to write about? Ask yourself some questions. Did you adopt or buy your cat? How did you decide on his name? What's the funniest, sweetest, most unusual thing he ever did? Try telling a story from the cat's point of view. Or simply write a few lines to go with photos; a simple series of images and captions makes a great page.

Work on the Acomb Neighbourhood Plan has begun! Acomb Parish Council hosted a well-attended meeting in July2015 , when David English, the County Council's Communities and Infrastructure Manager, gave a very informative presentation on drawing up a Neighbourhood Plan.
Following this, the Parish Council agreed at its September 2015 meeting to apply for the civil parish of Acomb to be designated as a Neighbourhood Area (this involves a 6 week consultation period) and agreed that the Plan steering group should consist of Parish Councillors and interested local residents.
If any local residents would like to join the steering group, please would you contact steering group chair Cllr Jane Wrigley on 01434 681487 or firstname.lastname@example.com giving details of any relevant experience e.g. planning, architecture, art, report writing. Please contact her too if you'd just like further information - there are lots of opportunity to get involved!
If you would like to know more about the proposed Neighbourhood Plan for Acomb, you may wish to download and read the following documents...

WHENEVER THIS salvaged (or savage) NHL season finally gets under way, after the votes are counted and the signatures dry on the contracts, the Flyers should name Claude Giroux the 19th captain in franchise history.
Giroux is young. He turns 25 on Saturday, about the time training camp will open.
He is the face of the Flyers. He is quickly becoming one of the most electrifying players in the league. He is well-respected and well-liked in the Flyers dressing room. And he will bring some much-needed stability to a leadership position which has changed more jerseys (six) since 2006 than Michael Leighton.

Skip to comments.Expanded map boosts GOP confidence
Posted on 01/19/2014 4:16:10 PM PST by Innovative
In order to flip the six seats they need to win back control, Republicans now believe they have widened the map to nearly a dozen competitive contests a marked jump from earlier this year.
But while Republicans are feeling increasingly optimistic, they are stopping short of bold public predictions, remembering the dashed expectations of recent election cycles in which Tea Party candidates torpedoed their chances.
...McConnell faces a challenger backed by the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Madison Project.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
Tell your masters that I will not vote for any candidate supporting Amnesty or going along with Obama in driving the country over the cliff in general. Regards.
I hope that conservatives decide to vote.
Boehner's agenda is Obama's agenda: Amnesty
I told him I am backing who ever is running against him and all he is there is a yes man to the GOP elite
Two years of Caliph Baraq and a Republican controlled House and Senate might be fun to watch. I guarantee he will get snotty, LOL.
There, fixed that.
Wait till the GOP passes amnesty.
That expanded map won't mean crap when tens of millions of conservatives stay home.
Not if the GOP passes amnesty. In fact, that will be the end of the GOP.
The GOP-e seemed more interested in defeating Cuch in VA.
Won't forget it.
"Right now" it's primary season.
There aren't any chances to fight Democrat socialists!
Let's hope the establishment offers some acceptable candidates to the voters.
The MSM is a big factor in Senate races, because there are only 33, and many of those are not competitive to begin with.
Many of these Tea Party Senate candidates were not prepared for the kind of onslaught the MSM can deliver, and via poorly delivered statements, actually supplied the ammo for Democrat campaign adverts. That was never shown so well as in Indiana where Murdoch ran 10 points BEHIND lame Romney.
It's very disappointing to see them not prepped to deal with issues that are talked about on Limbaugh and FR every day.
Ditch Mitch.
The GOPe is working overtime to lose this election
The answer to that question governs.
Yes it is.
The GOP continues to attack their base. It's a wash.
You betcha! We're going to run RINOs off wherever we can.
Hopefully, starting with McConnell.
Deep BS.
Huckabee just said on his show that he is endorsing Mitch McConnell.
I guess you both like Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader — you are right, much better than having a Republican majority in the Senate with Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader, yes, absolutely.
I, I, I am better off without McConnell in the senate, thwarting my guys efforts at every turn, supporting my guys challengers every election, openly slandering Tea Party affiliated organizations every chance he gets.
Yes, even if McConnell falls to a Democrat, the message is sent to the surviving Establishment that we're coming after them.
Primaries will be done away with next. We must fight while we can while they last.
Huck who?
If the House Leadership brings an immigration vote to the floor, it's the end of the party, doesn't matter what the map says.
I hope that conservative candidates run who are worthy of conservative votes.
Wanting McConnell replaced by a conservative is not bad for anyone
Now you're catching on. Endless compromise has killed our Republic. We are out of time. You better hope this works and inform your RINO supporting pals. Rebellion can look a hell of a lot worse than this if it doesn't.
Mike Huckabee wants to outlaw the word 'RINO' in the name of GOP unity
"Whats the Republican Partys biggest obstacle in this years elections? Republicans! With Benghazi, Obamacare, NSA spying, al Qaeda and the still-staggering economy, 2014 should be a record year for the GOP. But they risk disaster if they let the primaries be hijacked by ad campaigns by groups that dont target Democrats, but fellow Republicans who arent pure enough, Mr. Huckabee declared on his Facebook page, and in several other spots."
I like Senate Majority Ted Cruz or Mike Lee better.
Aye, Aye,.....
The Huckster needs to call the waaaahhhmbulance
Our persistent trouble is that KY people think McC is "conservative".
So? What is Mike Huckabee to us?
What's Huckabee and why is what he thinks important?
He needs to go, as an encouragement for the others.
"I like Senate Majority Ted Cruz or Mike Lee better."
Yes, and I'd like to win the lottery — I probably have a better chance for than what you are dreaming about. And in the meantime you are enabling the Dems to destroy the country.
The GOPe has lost the base over the last 10 years. And rightfully so.
Many here used to consider Huckabee conservative and voted for him in the primary, so now all of a sudden, when he is making sense, he is nobody?
Will they promise to pursue impeachment and criminal prosecution?
I don't divide them by R or D anymore. Party labels are meaningless to this independent conservative. They act like two wings of the same party, I refuse to play that fantasy game.
I divide them by Conservative and Not Conservative.
McConnell hates conservatives with a passion he would never hate his Democrats colleagues.
Yes, I want McConnell to lose like I want the vast majority in Congress to be replaced.
Yeah because the message got broadcast so well when we traded Lugar for Obama Joe.
How is he making sense?
We shouldn't care about Republicrats who have declared war on conservatism (McConnell) and we should vote for them anyway?
Hell no. They are my enemies by their own words and deeds.
I have no intention of supporting or voting for that.
Kentucky is ripe for going blue if they think McConnell is "conservative, huh?
Rand Paul better straighten them out after McConnell falls. (I know Rand supports McConnell now, for his own purposes, but he can learn too.)
RINOS are slow learners and we're out of time.
Hes obviously a nobody, he just endorsed Mitch Mcconnell
Ive seen dead guys in a coffin at a wake more animated and in charge than good OLD Mitch!
".....remembering the dashed expectations of recent election cycles in which TEA Party candidates torpedoed their chances."
What? TEA Party candidates saved the GOP's sorry butt in 2010.
You're coming right along. Huckabee is has been a squish for years.
The incumbent Republicans are no better than the Rats. Vote them all out.
No difference. Period.
Murdouck didn't lose because he was the TEA Party candidate. He lost for the same reason Todd Aiken lost in Missouri; because he was dumb enough to take the rape bait and produce a sound byte that scuttled an otherwise excellent opportunity to win.

Yields on Venezuelan debt have increased amid the country's political unrest, yet the country is unlikely to stop paying its international bonds, say analysts
The borrower, rated Caa1/B-/B+, is unlikely to
default on its debt as long as oil prices stay high, said
Bulltick analysts.
"Default would counterproductively increase the current
economic havoc," they said in a research note. "After the
sell-off, which has seen Venezuela 2027 yields reach new highs,
we think it an inopportune moment to unload bonds. Unless oil
prices see a precipitous collapse, (not our forecast) we expect
Venezuela to continue to service its debt obligations."
Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts took a similar view.
"Investors have been selling bonds across the curve amid the
high levels of uncertainty, but the short end bonds have been
penalized excessively, as price and jump to default risk
instead of yield become the main drivers," they said in a
research note.
"We find some attractive valuations in the short end out to
2017 as we believe short-term capacity of payment remains
relatively strong."
Four people have been reported dead in a series of protests
that have rocked Venezuela in recent weeks.
Bulltick cited yields on the sovereign's 2027
bonds at 15.9% on Tuesday. CDS referencing Venezuela jumped
89bp the same day, trading at 1,698bp by mid-afternoon. It had
changed hands at 1,147bp at the start of the year, according to
data from Markit.
Meanwhile, Venezuela's exchange rate is coming
under increasing pressure and markets are waiting to see form
of a new series of currency auctions. The last auction sold
dollars for VEF11.7, although Bulltick put the black market
rate at VEF87 to the dollar.
The government is expected to introduce a second auction
framework to supply dollars to the private sector. That is
likely to sell dollars for VEF25 to VEF30 apiece, BofA-Merrill
forecast. LF

Musicians stage tribute to America's first professional composer
Even if you haven't heard of Stephen Foster, you've heard his music. "Oh! Susanna" and "Camptown Races" are among the first songs a child hears and learns. Unforgettable melodies, and their place in the public domain, ensure that they have endured, in schools, in toys, in movies and commercials, 160-plus years after Foster wrote them.
Foster is thought to have been the country's first professional composer, and his songs were immensely popular during his lifetime. But the music publishing market soured during the Civil War, and Foster died Jan. 13, 1864, at 37, struggling with a fever and a head injury in his final days, with just 38 cents in his pocket. »Read Full Article

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
Universities U.K. has withdrawn controversial guidance it released last month on gender segregation at "ultra-orthodox" religious events on campus after coming under criticism from the prime minister's office. The guidance, which was intended to help British Universities balance their legal responsibility to protect freedom of speech while also meeting the requirements of nondiscrimination law, said that in regards to a hypothetical case study in which an outside religious speaker requested seating segregated by gender, "a balance of interests is most likely to be achieved if it is possible to offer attendees both segregated and non-segregated seating areas."
However, last week a spokesperson for the prime minister said that David Cameron felt "very strongly" that guest speakers should not be permitted to address segregated audiences and urged Universities U.K. to review the guidance, as the BBC reported. Universities U.K issued a statement saying that it had withdrawn the case study in question pending a legal review.
"Universities UK agrees entirely with the prime minister that universities should not enforce gender segregation on audiences at the request of guest speakers," Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of the British presidential association, said in a statement. "However, where the gender segregation is voluntary, the law is unclear. We are working with our lawyers and the [Equality and Human Rights Commission] to clarify the position."
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research and a major force in global science, on Thursday voted to admit Israel as the first non-European full member nation, and as the first nation added since 1999. At a time that some academics in the United States and Europe are pushing to isolate Israel, the move by CERN was hailed by officials in Israel as a reflection of the strength of the country's scientific enterprise. Israel has been an associate member of CERN, a status countries must maintain for two years prior to consideration for full membership.
Friends and colleagues familiar with my longstanding support of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza and my extensive criticisms of the Israeli government's expansionist policies and violations of Palestinian human rights may be puzzled that I have weighed in publicly in opposition to the proposed academic boycott of Israel endorsed by the council of the American Studies Association (ASA) and now the subject of a membership vote in that organization. But the fact is that such a boycott is at best misguided. Not only is it the wrong way to register opposition to the policies and practices it seeks to discredit, it is itself a serious violation of the very academic freedom its supporters purport to defend.
The American Association of University Professors has opposed academic boycotts as a matter of principle since 2005, when we published a major statement "On Academic Boycotts." Last week AAUP President Rudy Fichtenbaum and I signed an "Open Letter to Members of the American Studies Association" reaffirming this opposition and urging ASA members to reject the proposed boycott.
The ASA Council, however, disagrees. In an extraordinarily one-sided FAQ on the ASA website, advocates of the boycott assert that, like the AAUP, the ASA "unequivocally asserts the importance of academic freedom and the necessity for intellectuals to remain free from state interests and interference as a general good for society," making no mention, of course, that the very organization they cite, the AAUP, has publicly and forcefully opposed as a violation of academic freedom the very boycott they advocate. Then, in language that can only be described as Orwellian, the FAQ contends that "the academic boycott doesn't violate academic freedom but helps to extend it. Under the current conditions of occupation, the academic freedom of Palestinian academics and students is severely hampered, if not effectively denied."
I have little doubt that conditions under which Palestinian scholars and students must function leave much to be desired, including with respect to academic freedom, but I wonder how boycotting Israeli universities does anything to improve that situation and thereby "extend" academic freedom. Does the ASA seek to make a general statement about Israeli policies in the West Bank, or is the organization making a statement about academic freedom in Israeli institutions? If the former, one immediately wonders why they do not advocate an academic boycott of Chinese higher education institutions in response to the occupation of Tibet, where conditions for native Tibetan scholars and students are certainly worse than in, say, the Palestinian Bir Zeit University on the West Bank. If the latter, I wonder how they have determined that Israeli institutions of higher learning are so much more culpable than those elsewhere.
As our "Open Letter" noted, the AAUP doesn't have "the organizational capacity to monitor academic freedom at institutions in other countries, nor are we in a position to pick and choose which countries we, as an organization, might judge." Yet the ASA, which has no special academic interest in the Middle East, feels comfortable boycotting Israeli universities while ignoring seemingly more obvious violations of both academic freedom and broader human rights in Iran, China, North Korea, Singapore, Zimbabwe, the former Soviet republics in Central Asia, and Russia, to mention but a few examples.
According to one Israeli human rights organization, Israeli forces killed 6,722 Palestinians between September of 2000 and October of 2013. In Iraq, however, American troops took the lives of more than half a million civilians. That, by the way, is the same America whose "culture and history" members of the American Studies Association are said to approach "from many directions" (quotations from "What the ASA Does"). In 2006 the ASA adopted a resolution condemning the U.S. invasion of Iraq, noting among other things that the invasion "threaten[ed] academic freedom" (whether in Iraq, the U.S., or both is unclear). Were I an ASA member I would surely have supported that resolution. Yet the ASA did not even consider an academic boycott of American universities in response to the American occupation of Iraq as they do now in response to the less murderous Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Well, some might say, they can't really advocate a boycott of themselves, can they? But in fact that is precisely what supporters of this proposed boycott are doing. Omar Barghouti, a prominent Palestinian advocate of the boycott, is himself a former student and part-time instructor at Tel Aviv University. He is one of many Palestinian and Arab Israeli students and faculty at Israeli colleges and universities. As Emily Budick, an American-born Israeli professor of American studies at Hebrew University, wrote in the AAUP's Journal of Academic Freedom:
Over the years I have taken great pride in the achievements of my Arab and Palestinian students. Last year one of my former graduate students became the first woman mayor of Bethlehem. I was similarly thrilled when several Palestinian students greeted me the first day of classes this year to bring regards from another former student of mine who was their teacher at the Arab university where they'd done their undergraduate degrees and who had encouraged them to do their graduate work at Hebrew University. Last year a full 50 percent of my Introduction to American Literature class was populated by Arab and Palestinian students.... If you want to stop Palestinian progress, then boycott the Israeli academics who contribute (along with Palestinian and Arab teachers) to their education and well-being. If you want to further the rights and liberties of Palestinians, then help us continue to provide Palestinian students with the best education we can.
In fact, if there is anywhere in Israeli society where support for a fair and just peace and for Palestinian human rights can flourish it is the country's universities. Boycott supporters are ironically only strengthening the hand of those right-wing forces in Israeli society who seek to muzzle the kind of questioning and dissent, and who reject the spirit of tolerance, that are often found among Israeli and Palestinian scholars in Israel's institutions of higher learning. The ASA foolishly seeks to punish potential allies largely to the benefit of common opponents.
Indeed, the whole idea of boycotting academic institutions in order to defend academic freedom is utterly wrongheaded. Violations of academic freedom can be found anywhere. In the AAUP we encounter such violations, petty and large, on a daily basis in the U.S. In the very worst of these cases, when all efforts to correct the situation fail, we place administrations on our censure list. But that list is not a boycott list. We do not and will not ask our colleagues to boycott institutions that violate academic freedom or that support policies we abhor. Instead we call on people to organize and struggle to effect change in such institutions, both from inside and out. If we resist the temptation to boycott offending institutions in our own country, where we have full opportunity to determine all the relevant facts, how then can we agree to support such boycotts of foreign institutions?
The AAUP does not have a foreign policy; our members may and do disagree about numerous international conflicts and controversies, including the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. But if the members of the ASA can somehow achieve broad agreement on such a controversial question as this one, we would not gainsay their right to pass resolutions on it as they did during the Iraq War. But a boycott is quite another matter.
Finally, I cannot fail to mention that the leaders of the ASA are not conducting this election in a spirit of frank and free discussion. AAUP's "Open Letter" was preceded by a private communication prior to the ASA council's approval of the boycott resolution. The ASA declined to circulate that communication among members and then rebuffed a request to post the "Open Letter" on its website along with other background material on the boycott proposal. The ASA has also declined to inform members of a letter in opposition to the resolution signed by eight former ASA presidents and other prominent ASA members.
By contrast, this fall the AAUP published an issue of our online Journal of Academic Freedom, much of which was devoted to articles calling on us to abandon our opposition to academic boycotts and advocating such a boycott of Israel. Some supporters of Israel criticized us for this, but we stood by our commitment to the journal as an open forum for debate and discussion. The articles attracted a good number of reader responses representing different points of view, all now published as part of the issue along with replies from the original authors. ASA members would do well to compare this to the ASA leadership's approach to dissent. Those seeking to make up their own minds about the boycott proposal should consider the various arguments pro and con published in our journal instead of relying on the one-sided and disingenuous presentations sadly offered on ASA's website.

Round-up of statements, charges and counter-charges as American Studies Association prepares to finish vote on whether to back boycott of Israeli universities.
A country that needs higher education struggles for a consensus on how to pay for it.
Zhang Xuezhong, a law professor at East China University of Political Science and Law, said Tuesday he had been fired after refusing to apologize for publications championing constitutional law in China, The New York Times reported.
Officials at the Shanghai-based university did not respond to the Times's requests for comment. However, Zhang obtained and circulated an internal university memo that accuses him of breaking university rules by "forcibly disseminating his political views among the faculty and using his status as a teacher to spread his political views among students."
The memo cites an e-book he authored, New Common Sense: The Nature and Consequences of One-Party Dictatorship.
The dismissal of Zhang, who had been banned from the classroom earlier this year, comes amid concerns regarding increasing restrictions on political speech in China and in the aftermath of the controversial dismissal of Xia Yeliang, an outspoken critic of the Chinese Communist Party, from the economics faculty at Peking University. Peking maintains that Xia was fired for his poor teaching and research record, but many believe his criticism of one-party rule was the real reason.
A report released Monday by Brandeis University's International Center for Ethics, Justice and Public Life calls for a resumption of the university's partnership with Al-Quds University, a Palestinian institution in the West Bank. The report, which was commissioned by Brandeis's administration in the wake of a Nov. 5 rally at Al-Quds in which demonstrators in black masks and military dress carried fake automatic weapons and employed fascist-style salutes, finds that officials at Al-Quds "responded promptly and appropriately to the November 5 rally by communicating to both internal and external constituencies that the rally violated university policies and principles."
In suspending its partnership with Al-Quds in November, Brandeis cited both the rally and the university's response to it, specifically a Nov. 17 letter from Al-Quds President Sari Nusseibeh that Brandeis characterized as "unacceptable and inflammatory." The letter emphasized values of equality and mutual respect, but it also criticized "Jewish extremists" who "spare no effort to exploit some rare but nonetheless damaging events or scenes which occur on the campus of Al Quds University…These occurrences allow some people to capitalize on events in ways that misrepresent the university as promoting inhumane, anti-Semitic, fascist, and Nazi ideologies. Without these ideologies, there would not have been the massacre of the Jewish people in Europe; without the massacre, there would not have been the enduring Palestinian catastrophe."
The report from faculty affiliated with Brandeis's center for ethics, justice and public life delves into the context for that letter and ultimately concludes that it "expressed neither intolerance nor hatred" (although the authors write that they understand the reasons it caused offense). They write that "Al- Quds University is playing a courageous frontline role in working for peace by engaging those minority factions in its midst that hold extreme attitudes" and urge Brandeis to resume and "redouble its commitment" to the partnership. A separate statement calls for Nusseibeh to be reinstated as a member of the center's international advisory board.
Ellen de Graffenreid, Brandeis's senior vice president for communications, said that President Frederick Lawrence is out of the country, but added that he asked for the report and she is certain he will read it carefully. Brandeis released a statement Nov. 22 requesting a dialogue with Al-Quds University. That dialogue is ongoing, de Graffenreid said, but she declined to be more specific. "With sensitive issues like this, having this discussion through the media is not productive," she said.
At American International Recruitment Council annual conference, members discuss what should be required of universities and their overseas recruitment agents vis-á-vis transparency.
The American Association of University Professors has released an open letter to members of the American Studies Association urging them to reject a proposal backed by the group's leaders to endorse a boycott of Israel universities. Members of the American Studies Association are voting on the proposal this month. The AAUP has a longstanding position against boycotting entire universities or countries, and the open letter reiterated those views. "The association recognizes the right of individual faculty members or groups of academics not to cooperate with other individual faculty members or academic institutions with whom or with which they disagree," the letter says. "We believe, however, that when such noncooperation takes the form of a systematic academic boycott, it threatens the principles of free expression and communication on which we collectively depend."
Using commission-based agents in international recruitment has gone from unmentionable to mainstream. At 5th annual conference, a group formed to bring standards to the practice reflects on where it has been and where it's going.

Visitors to Amarillo often are amazed at the wide variety of art galleries and museums we have to offer. The Amarillo Museum of Art on the Amarillo College campus has many wonderful selections that range from Georgia O'Keeffe works to magnificent pieces from ancient Asia. The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon features hundreds of works that illustrate life on the prairie. And many other smaller galleries feature works from local artists.
Some of those local talents will have their works on display later this month at the annual August Lights Arts Festival, Aug. 11-12, at Las Tiendas de Amarillo, 6666 W. Amarillo Blvd. The Chamber of Commerce Arts Committee is sponsoring the event, along with the Amarillo Fine Arts Association and Las Tiendas.
The event always is one of the art community's favorite happenings. The festival also is a treat for those who want to learn more about various forms of painting, sculpture and other media. They will see artists at work, many using the festival's same-subject theme of "Watermelons.''
The festival is 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 11, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Aug. 12. Admission is free, and refreshments will be available. For youngsters, there also will be children's sidewalk chart art for youngsters 10 and under. Every participant receives a special ribbon. Children also can learn how to make beaded bracelets.
Artist b.j. smith is helping coordinate the event with Becky Zenor, chamber vice president, Quality of Life.
"August Lights is a great time for lovers of art to see some of our region's finest artists displaying their crafts,'' Zenor said. "Visitors will also have the opportunities to shop at the many Las Tiendas galleries and shops.''
These AFAA members will be demonstrating their works at August Lights: Cindy Kelleher, watercolor; Jo Bryan, watercolor; Ken Wampler, watercolor; Brady DeBord, pottery; Marissa DeBord, pottery; Nancy Sisemore, wood carving; Billye Optiz, watercolor; Pat Menke, watercolor; Patsy Kisor, sculpture; Betty Jo Foster, painting; Roylynn Evans, acrylic; Debbie Skinner, watercolor; Dan Martin, glass engraving; Mike Mahon, pastel; Paige Miller, beading; Jeanne Denton, calligraphy; Len Slesick, pastel; Ginny Slesick, pastel; Megan Easley, pottery; Gary Ward, pastel; Sue Abbott, oil; and Lois Minnick, oil.
These studios and galleries will be open for shopping: Beck Boots, b.j. smith, Forever Photography, Beth Thomas, Mike Mahon, C.C. Faubion, Adobe Walls Gallery - Dale Ham, Glynanna Ham, Anna Raffkind, Ann Crouch, Evelyn Smith, Stitch Ranch, Clay Pit, Wookie Johnson, Dori Fletcher and Patsy Kisor.
So mark your calendar for Aug. 11-12 and take time to visit with artists at work and view their many pieces. It will be a great educational experience and an excellent opportunity to take care of some early Christmas shopping.
For more info, contact Zenor at 373-7800 or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gary Molberg is the president of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce. He can be reached at 373-7800.

House was beautiful, well stocked, had great ocean views with large patio area, had pool table/table tennis. We had 17 in party and never felt like we were on top of each other. Bedrooms were upstairs, roomy, with many baths that was a plus. We could walk
easily to beach eateries, and shopping. Downtown was a short drive (or moderate walk). We were concerned with parking but it was no problem. Only real "problem" we had was that carving knives were very dull (we had a turkey ??). We would definitely rent again!
Thank you so much for the great review! We do appreciate the information about the knives, and will replace them as a result!

(the stairs to the beach were a little challenging) as well as the grown ups!! We took great walks through the neighborhood, enjoyed local eats and shopping!! Boogie boarding, surfing and sand castle building were all fun activities!! AND...we had arranged
for a photographer, in advance, who met us there and took our family photos down on the beach!! It was great! We also brought a small blow-up pool for the kids that we used on the patio!! Kitchen was well stocked (knives could be sharper) and we ate in most

We had 14 adults, 3 toddlers and 2 infants. The house was a perfect place for all of us to enjoy interacting together and to enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Ocean and the neighborhood. There was plenty of room and the house was very clean and comfortably
furnished. We enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen which had space for multiple cooks at a time! We were blessed with great weather as well as several sitings of dolphins and whales ... the deck and hot tub were well used. The house was within walking
distance of coffee shops, book store, etc. It was a great reunion of old friends/family, 4 years in the making and this was a perfect spot.
a guest from Santa Monica, CA recommends this vacation rental
This is the second year my family and I have stayed in this home. It is magnificent! The views are incredible, and the home is beautiful. Everything that you need is right there. One of my favorite parts was being able to light up the fireplace at night
since it was a bit chilly when we were here. There are even 2 sets of washers and dryers, so I had no laundry when returning home from vacation, which is always nice. Beachfront only rentals are the best, and I can't wait for my next stay!

Jean Bruce S recommends this vacation rental
We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at the beach house with friends from all across the USA. There were 14 of us (7 couples) and we had the best time. The 7 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths were perfect, towels and beach towels were provided for everyone,
plus extra towels in each bathroom. Also, the kitchen dishes, glasses, pots, pans, and utensils are great for a group that cooks (which we did). The sit down bar was perfect for our non-chefs and there was plenty of room in the kitchen for three or four of
us chopping and cooking and the "stand up bar" was great for those who wanted to watch or chat or come in and out of the conversation(s). If you have a group as large as ours I'd recommend getting or bringing a couple of coolers for drinks - as there's only
one frig and it fills up fast for 14 people for a weeks worth of meals.
The living room was comfortable and we had a fire in the fireplace most days & nights. The deck and jacuzzi were perfect for whale and dolphin watching (we saw plenty of both)! And, having two washers and dryers was great to keep up with wet towels and swimsuits.
All in all - a fantastic house! We'll definitely make plans to return.

We used this home for a golfing excursion for 8 and could not have been more pleased. Excellent location and simply ideal.
a guest from Danville, CA recommends this vacation rental
We had 9 adults and 8 children at the rental. The house has plenty of room for all and we had a great time. Loved the spa overlooking the beach. Our only recommendation is to put some hangings or pictures on the wall to absorb sound. With young children
the sound level can get rather high. We also had to move to another house after a week. The staff was rather accommodating in facilitating the move.

a guest from Burlingame, California recommends this vacation rental
There are not that many good options when you are looking at getting 5 families together for a family reunion. We were very lucky to find this beach house and could not have been happier with the condition and location of the house. It was very relaxing
being merely 1 block from Stone Steps (beach access, about 100 stairs). It gave us total flexibility for some of us to hang out while others went on day trips. The town is great and has a Whole Foods Market. Take a 10 minute drive and you have Trader Joes
and Ralphs.
Beachfront Properties was a pleasure to work with. They set clear expectations of the process and we had everything we needed in a timely manner. They called the day before our trip to make sure we were set.
I would highly recommend this property and Beachfront Properties.

We rented this house for our 10 year anniversary. It's only a couple houses down from the stone steps and within walking distance of Moonlight beach. I hate dishes but the view while doing them in this house can change anyone's mind. OR there are some
great restaurants near by. Grocery stores are less than 10 minutes away. This place is breathtaking!

a guest from Longmont, CO recommends this vacation rental
We rented the house for 4 nights for a New Year's reunion with friends. The house was beautiful, had a great view and a great location. We had some kids in the group, and the house worked well for them, although there was one ledge from the dining room
to the living area we had to watch out for. We had larger group, 17 including kids, but there was plenty of room for everyone.
We had a little trouble with the hot tub, but maintenance was there right away to work on it.
There is a 9pm limit for noise on the patio, which could be a bummer in better weather, but in January it was too cold old to be an issue for us.
Overall we had a great time in this lovely house!
Thank you for your review! The 9pm noise limit is not only our good neighbor policy, but also a City ordinance, and simply restricts excessive noise. Our rentals are all in residential areas, and we try our hardest to be respectful of all of our neighbors. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to have you stay with us again soon!

a guest from Madera, CA recommends this vacation rental
Very spacious, fantastic location. Just half block to Stair Step beach. Pool and ping-pong table. Wonderful spa/hot tub on the main patio. Granite throughout. Beachfront staff was very helpful and accommodating. Had a small problem with the spa and they
had it repaired quickly. There were only two drawbacks: the dishwasher's bottom tray would not stay on it's track and there is no garbage disposal. However, since those are relatively minor complaints, I would highly recommend this property.

Location was excellent for the golf courses we were playing, we were able to play golf and return to the home and enjoy the views of the ocean and take advantage of the kitchen. With the pool table we could keep ourselves entertained in the evenings without

Wonderful time...For the cost I wish the unit had a gas BBQ, not charcoal and a stereo. Also would be nice if there were some beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards that people could use. Amazing setting.
This property now has a gas grill. Regarding stereo, toys, boogie boards, etc, we would love to be able to provide these. However, when trying in the past, we just had too many items go missing, probably left on the beach or accidentally taken home. We are looking into ipod docks that can connect to the television. ~ The Team at Beachfront Only

Lovely place, good views, good space.
Only disappointments were:
1) For a place that sleeps 17, the hot tub was tiny. Either you sat cross-legged or your feet/legs were all over each other...maximum of 4.
2) The charcoal grill was really inadequate for people who like grilling.
The spa has been replaced with a larger spa (see photos), and the charcoal grill has been replaced with a larger gas barbecue. ~ The Team at Beachfront Only

This was a wonderful four night stay for our family. The house was perfect. Everyone had a very comfortable bedroom. The views, especially the sunsets, were spectacular, and the proximity to the beach was perfect. The house is very deceptive from the street,
as are many on Neptune, but once inside it was a great spot for a four night slumber party! We highly recommend the property and will seriously consider it for next Thanksgiving.

We had a great week with 17 family members. We also have a Tahoe Vacation Rental and are familiar with managemrnt concerns. The big things were excellent, the small things need some attention, ie:
1 All the knives were VERY dull and no knife sharpener and the steel was nicked.
2 Can opener was broken.
3 Slat on door of cabinet below sink was loose.
4 There were many cars parked on street overnight and we were told we could not.
Thank you for your feedback. The broken can opener and slat on door has been replaced and/or fixed. Regarding the parking, regular residents can park their cars overnight on Neptune, however, it is a City Law that there is no overnight street parking for the Vacation Rentals. Because this is a vacation rental, we have to abide by this rule and use the designated garage and driveway spots.
Christine S from Philadelphia, PA recommends this vacation rental
It was truly perfect that is reflective in our 3 visits. Only problem was a broken water spout in refrig and need for a new coffee pot. We all loved it as it was close to perfection.

After pating extra for an early check-in the entry code we received did not work. We called the office and tried both doors with a rep on the line and still no entry. The rep then had to call me back. At least 15 minutes went by before we finally got a
code that worked. Since your company is so strict on check-in's, I believe we are due $31.25 for those 15 minutes. Also, the upstairs hall bathroom had terribly low water pressure and alternating hot and cold water temperature. Please respond at my email,

glasses and silverware, pot and pans. A blender would be a nice addition. They especially need a garbage disposal since when cooking and washing dishes it was a pain to have to constantly clean out the since from scraps. The ocean bedrooms were very comfortable
with a wonderful breeze from the ocean, but the front two bedrooms by the street were very warm at night. Our stay was nice since we were out and about and not in the bedrooms until bedtime.

In the master bedroom the sun screens were not private (any of the neighboring properties can see into the bedroom at night). I really disliked the craziness of the electrical switches. Some work, some don't. There was only one TV guide available for the
2 TV's. You always have to remember to bring the ONE guide either upstairs or downstairs. The size of the print for the guide was SO SMALL, that a magnifying glass was necessary... that I had to go buy along with a fireplace starter. Can't you provide the
fireplace lighter and a larger print TV guide for each TV? The Duvae covers were old and faded.
We have tried to go through and label all of the switches to what they go to, and ones that are not working. Regarding the TV guide, the listings are always directly on the television. We also provide a lighter which is in the kitchen with the barbecue utensils. ~The Team at Beachfront Only

The house was absolutely wonderful and perfectly set up for large families/groups. We had a "girls getaway" and the rooms & bathrooms suited us perfectly.The only downside was not having a garbage disposal.That was a bit of a nuisense. If you are renting
the home, be sure to bring the garbage cans inside the garage as neighbors use them & fill them up leaving you without any space for garbage. The rental company sent someone out to take away the garbage, but that shouldn't need to happen. All in all you can't
beat the location & comfort of this home.
