Brett de Bear has plenty of reason to smile about her career at Albion College. / BOBBY LEE | ALBION ATHLETICS
Salem alum Brett de Bear (third from left), flanked by parents Bob and Jane deBear, received the game ball from the Dec. 28 Albion College women's basketball contest after scoring her 1,000th career point that night.

Launching another field goal earlier this season is Albion College's Brett de Bear. / LOWELL MCGINNIS | ALBION COLLEGE
Brett de Bear is a scholar and an athlete. Shes been off the charts in both during her four-year career at Albion College.
Yet the Salem High School alum remains humble and almost embarrased about the attention she is receiving for her soon-to-end career as a womens basketball player for the Lady Britons.
She is deserving of the spotlight.
Saturday at home against St. Marys College, de Bear will play the final game of her Albion career. Going into her second-to-last contest (Wednesday night at Hope College), the 5-10 guard/forward had 1,203 career points and needed to score 12 more to jump into third place ahead of Cathy Bachinski.
I just didnt really expect it to happen, I didnt think coming to Albion that this (notoriety) would happen to me, said de Bear, during a telephone interview last week. And its all just kind of crazy, because I see all the updates on the Albion athletics Twitter page.
I mean, they make a big deal about it here, my coach does, the athletic department, everybody does. I didnt expect it to happen and its all happening right now. So its a lot.
Wait, theres more.
A total of 17 points in the final two games would give her third place in scoring for a single season; she already has the fourth best mark with 406 tallied in 2012-13. Her scoring average this year is 17.6.
Earlier this month, the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (D-III) named her player of the week for the fourth time in her career.
And on Dec. 28, de Bear became the eighth womens basketball player in Albion history to crack the 1,000-point plateau.
The 21-year-old daughter of Bob and Jane de Bear couldnt help but laugh about that. Becoming a collegiate star never was her motivation when finding a place to follow high school, keep playing basketball and pursue a degree in teaching.
Its cool that its happening and stuff, but its not the most important thing to me, she said. What is? Just being able to play, I guess. I love the game. I love my team. I dont know how, it just wouldnt be worth it without those people.
Her Salem roots
Basketball-wise, the past four years have gone by in the blink of an eye for de Bear. She remembers just looking for a college to call home while still at Salem, a standout guard for legendary coach Fred Thomann (who passed away in late December).
Although de Bear was unable to attend the mid-January tribute to Thomann, she often thinks about what he meant to her as a player, student and person.
That was sad, I wanted to be there, she said. It (Salem career) definitely has a lot to do with my success. Fred was a great coach, he definitely knew the game well and always looked out for his players.
He honestly deserves a lot of the credit. He was my coach for four years, so he had a lot to do with it.
A scholar-athlete with a 3.67 grade-point average (she was named to the MIAA academic honor roll for 3.5-or-better GPA her first three years and is a good bet to make it four), de Bear would be the perfect candidate for a recently launched memorial scholarship program at Salem honoring her old basketball coach.
The Fred Thomann Scholarship Fund will be awarded each year to a senior student at the Park (regardless of sport) who wants to study to become a teacher a profession near and dear to Thomann and his family.
I actually go into student teaching next fall, de Bear continued. So Ill be back here for another semester and then after that I guess Im going to apply for teaching jobs.
She laughed when asked whether shed also like to become a basketball coach. She still enjoys playing the game, making the shots, helping her team.
She's about team
And for all of her personal milestones, de Bear pointed to a team moment as the best shes had at Albion.
My sophomore year, it was Beat Hope at Hope and it was like the coolest thing, de Bear said. I think thats the only time I beat Hope in my four years.
It was just like the greatest feeling, my team was so excited afterwards.
Yet, perhaps typical for Brett de Bear, she could not remember how many points she scored in that important victory.
One gets the feeling she wouldnt know just how much she has accomplished with the Lady Britons without the wave of media attention these days.
With her career winding down and with the chance to move up one more rung in the Albion College record book, de Bear confirmed that shes still taking a business as usual approach and not getting caught up in any hoopla.
I have three games left in my career, she noted. Im really just trying to enjoy these last games.

Using a mobile phone to make and receive calls, send texts and browse the web while abroad can be extremely costly – especially if you are travelling outside the European Union (EU), where calls can cost up to 10 times as much as at home.
Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) is supposed to help people to continue meeting their loan, mortgage or credit card repayments if they fall ill or lose their jobs. However, policies are often over-priced, riddled with exclusions and sold to people who could not make a claim if they needed to.
It could be you, but let's face it, it probably won't be. In fact, buying a ticket for the Lotto only gives you a 1 in 13.9 million chance of winning the jackpot.
No-frills airlines such as EasyJet may promote rock-bottom prices on their websites. But the overall fare you pay can be surprisingly high once extras such as luggage and credit card payment fees have been added - a process known as drip pricing.
Cash advances, which include cash withdrawals, are generally charged at a much higher rate of interest than standard purchases.
Supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda often run promotions under which you can, for example, get three products for the price of two.
Buy a train ticket at the station on the day of travel and the price is likely to give you a shock - especially if you are travelling a long distance at a busy time of day.
Most High Street banks offer packaged accounts that come with monthly fees ranging from £6.50 up to as much as £40, with a typical account charging about £15 per month.
Overseas money transfers or travel money purchases attract the same high rate of interest as credit card cash withdrawals.
Numbers starting 0871 cost 10p or more from a landline, while those starting 09 can cost more than £1 a minute from a mobile phone.

The Pittsburgh Steelers offseason continues on and with the Super Bowl now behind us we too will continue on now with our breakdown of the free agents as we inch closer towards the start of free agency. Next up on the list of unrestricted free agents is veteran long snapper Greg Warren.
Player: Greg Warren
Position: Long Snapper
Experience: 8 Years
Free Agent Status: Unrestricted
2012 Salary Cap Hit: $925,000
2012 Season Breakdown: Warren played his eighth season for Steelers in 2012 and it was the final year of his two-year contract that he signed prior to the 2011 season. The Steelers once again brought in competition for Warren during training camp this past season in the form of Matt Katula, but he was released just prior to the start of the regular season.
2012 was not perfect for Warren as he and safety Ryan Mundy had assignment issues in the Week 6 game against the Tennessee Titans that led to a blocked punt up the middle and deep in the Steelers own end. The Titans scored just two plays later. Warren also had a bad snap on a missed 24 yard field goal attempt by kicker Shaun Suisham in the Week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals that proved to be very costly being as the Steelers lost that game by 3 points.
Warren was credited with two special teams tackles in 2012 and had one missed tackle.
Free Agency Outlook: It is hard to guess whether or not Warren will return in 2013. The Steelers now have a new special teams coach in the form of Danny Smith, who had spent the last nine seasons with the Washington Redskins as their special teams coach. Warren doesn\'t have the best knees, but managed to make through a second straight season without having issues with them. Signing Warren to a one-year deal for $840,000 is an option, but not guaranteed to happen. The Steelers could decide to go younger and less expensive, but with that comes less experience. Even if Warren is re-signed, he will have competition once again in training camp. The Steelers will also likely add another long snapper to their offseason roster before even making a final decision on whether or not to bring back Warren. This is really a coin flip at this point and I am not leaning one way or another as to the ultimate outcome, so let\'s leave it at 50/50 chance that Warren will return for a ninth season.

Need Mechanic Advice - Electrical Problems
I am new to this site and joined In hopes that we have a member with some mechanical skills, or ya may have experienced the same problem i am going through.
My First problem has been an issue for over a year but comes and goes.... What happens is if i dont keep my foot on the gas (which is like manually keeping the rpms up) my Volt meter drops and the car dies. I was sick of having a foot on the gas all the time; even when at a stop just to keep my car on. I ventured under my hood and shook the **** out of my battery, and it seemed to fix the problem from time to time.....
I realize this could mean my battery terminal could be loose, or do i need a new gas filter or somethin?
My Second problem just happened today. I went to turn the car on, and it sounded like a taser was under my hood (tis tis tis tis) The car wont crank, the stereo and lights all work; but the car wont turn over!?!?!
11-27-2008, 12:51 AM #21. Possible fuel/air restriction. Check your air and fuel filters. and like your say about the battery and voltage dropping, i would check the connections. if you have a bad connection, that means your battery is not getting charged fully and thats could be a problem.
2. sound like the starter is trying to engangs. if you are sure the starter is working fine, then it sounds like your ring gear on the flywheel or the teath on the starter are chewed up and it wont let it engage to crank the engine. if thats the case you need a new starter or ring gear.
maybe that is of some help.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The children of the Highpointe Pediatric Unit got a few special visitors on Wednesday.
The Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society arranged for several cats and dogs to visit the kids in the long term care unit.
Not only did they pay the children a holiday visit, they brought with them hundreds of gifts collected throughout December by the Veterinary Society.
The visit is an opportunity for the children to see and touch pets that they don't normally get to have contact with.
"These patients are long term patients at this care facility, so for them to get out to the world and see pets in a more natural environment isn't easy for them. They need intensive care, so for us to be able to bring the outside in and let them see some of our pets, who are all gentle and love petting anyway, it's great fun for us and for them," said Dr. Jim Brown, veterinarian.
The Niagara Frontier Veterinary Society is comprised of more than 70 small animal hospitals from around Western New York.

Entropion is the turning in of an edge of an eyelid, causing the lashes to rub against the eye. It usually is seen on the lower eyelid.
Entropion can be present at birth (congenital).
In babies, it rarely causes problems because the lashes are very soft and do not easily damage the eye. In older people, the condition is usually caused by a spasm or weakening of the muscles surrounding the lower part of the eye.
Although rare in North America and Europe, trachoma infection can cause scarring of the inner side of the lid, which may cause entropion. Trachoma scarring is one of the three leading causes of blindness in the world.
Risk factors for entropion are:
Your health care provider can usually diagnose this condition by looking at your eyelids. Special tests are usually not necessary.
Artificial tears can keep the eye from becoming dry and may help you feel better. Surgery to correct the position of the eyelids usually works well.
The outlook is usually good if the condition is treated before eye damage occurs.
Dry eye and irritation may increase the risk of:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
If you have entropion, the following should be considered an emergency:
Most cases cannot be prevented. Treatment reduces the risk of complications.
See your doctor if you have red eyes after visiting an area where there is trachoma (North Africa, South Asia).

Can't go wrong with MushkinPros: I have always had good luck with Mushkin Ram!! Cons: None Other Thoughts: A good company with good customer service!! Did you find this review helpful? |
This Was Just RightPros: If you know what you're ordering, this was just a great deal. Be sure to look at your motherboard specs about single sided ram! Cons: None Other Thoughts: I know how easy it is to order the wrong item, so you folks that have complained about this ram, remember it is really a good deal if you research first. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Non CompatiblePros: N/A Cons: thought was DOA... (maybe its not) Other Thoughts: This memory would not work in my eMachine T1220 even though the newegg configurator said it was compatible. Did a little research and found out about old memory and the differences between low and high density and single and double sided memory. Be careful as apparently my machine needs a 32mx64 and this chip is 32mx8. This is not always shown when picking out memory under specs. Newegg took care of me though. As always, newegg ROCKS!!! Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Not Worth itPros: Cheap Cons: Does not work in a 256 slot even though it is a 256 chip. Waste of money and time. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
make sure it is compatible!Pros: price and availability. Cons: This is a single sided SDRAM, and does not work in most 256 MB expansion slots. I bought one, and spent hours trying to figure out why it shut down the whole system. Wouldn't even power up with it in a slot. And hours later, read that it requires a 512MB expansion slot or above, even though it is 256 MB Argghhh. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Chip does not support emachines T1150Pros: none Cons: Cheap chip does not support emachines T1150. Other Thoughts: Never should have purchased cheap RAM. Lesson learned! Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
RecommendedPros: I needed to upgrade an old computer to 512MB so I bought one of these. Adding this to the original 256MB increased my computer RAM to 523MB. Everything is working fine. Cons: None. It actually fit in the slot better than my other memory. Other Thoughts: I'm just happy I could get SDRAM PC 133 memory still. I was afraid I'd have to get a new computer but with this upgrade it should be good for a couple more years. Did you find this review helpful? |
No ProblemsPros: Priced right! Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |

The Harley School broke ground on a new learning center at the school leaders say is like no other space in the country for students in grades K-12.
Chesonis Commons will house the Center for Civic Engagement that teaches students about civic leadership, and the Center for Mindfulness and Empathy Education that supports emotional literacy. But a main focus of the new space will be its Science Center that students of all grades will be able to use.
"We're offering three brand new centers that will be housed in the commons, including a project space in the basement. The project space will be dedicated to design thinking," said Valerie Myntti, Interim Head of School. "Kids will be as limited as their imaginations limit them."
The building is named for Arunas Chesonis who gave $1 million for the $3 million project.
"The previous headmaster Tim Cottrell and I had always talked about sustainability and the work we had done in town and in other universities. He came up with an idea to blend innovation of science and technology for sustainability with the care and culture Harley represents," said Chesonis. "Our world is going to be a different place 100 years from now and the sooner that kids and parents learn about that and can teach that not only in their own schools but with their colleagues in the city and the rest of the country, I think it's going to give us a head start."
The 14,000-square-foot building will also be what's called a "living building" that will generate its own energy, heat and cool and will be operated by the students themselves.
Construction has started and they expect to be finished by next Fall.

Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is being placed on injured reserve after being hurt during Monday night's loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Eagles head coach Andy Reid said during his news conference Tuesday at noon that Jackson is being placed on the injured reserve list.
"DeSean Jackson actually fractured a couple ribs up high in his chest. We'll put him on IR today," Reid said.
The Eagles' loss to the Panthers was their seventh straight, and the team now sits at 3-8, last in the National Football Conference.
The team has already been without starting quarterback Michael Vick and starting running back LeSean McCoy, both of whom are trying to recover from concussions.
Only one offensive lineman has started every game for the Birds this season.
Now, they figure to be without their No. 1 wide receiver for the rest of the way.
Reid said rookie quarterback Nick Foles figures to be starting again Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
He also said during his news conference that offensive tackle Jason Peters will not be activated Tuesday, so he will go back on the IR. Peters ruptured his Achilles tendon twice in the offseason.

« New Music: Diddy-Dirty Money – 'Angels' + 'Love Come Down' RemixesMariah Carey Lights Up Christmas »Beyoncé Unleashes Sasha Fierce on DVDBeyoncé tends to walk a straight and narrow path, but she's no nun. She's way too sassy, her dancing is too sexy, and her neck cocks too hard for that. On the superstar's new DVD, I Am… Yours: An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas, out Monday, audiences experience a show-stopping event as Sasha Fierce and Bey come out to play. Strutting out in classic Jean-Paul Gaultier, Beyoncé hits the stage with "Hello" before bringing the audience in to help her move through "Irreplaceable." After a "Sweet Dreams" medley featuring Anita Baker's "Sweet Love," Jay-Z's other half sings "If I Were a Boy" and surprisingly grabs her crotch during the line, "Wish you were a better man." And to the delight of concertgoers, Beyoncé switches from her R&B roots to the rock tunes of Alanis Morisette's "You Oughta Know," while getting on all fours and whipping her hair to and fro. After intermission, the woman of the hour returns in a black sequined leotard for a Broadway-fashioned narration of her life story, told through song and dance. From Destiny's Child's cover of Michael Jackson's "I Wanna Be Where You Are," to DC's first hit "No, No, No," to her debut solo album, to the YouTube phenomenon "Single Ladies," Beyoncé shares her magical story. She even throws in an anecdote, describing how Columbia Records failed to like her song choices for Dangerously in Love. She reveals that executives told her before its release that it didn't have one hit, to which Bey was sly to agree. "I didn't have one. I had five." Ouch. Beyoncé's I Am… Yours DVD will be edited down into an hour-long TV special, airing November 26 at 9 p.m. EST on ABC. –Tanya Remekie You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. 26 Comments

The Yankees are in Sarasota for a game that doesn't count. Their lineup looks like one you'd expect to see in a game that doesn't count.
What is notable about this game is it is the first MASN game of spring. Whether we will get to hear our favorite pair of announcers or some other combination, I could not tell you. If you get the opportunity to watch, you can see for yourself. Or, I'll tell you once I know.
If Kyle Roller is not Kyle Boller with a hilariously fake mustache, I'm going to be extremely disappointed.
Brian Matusz is the starter for the Orioles, with Tommy Hunter and Pedro Strop also scheduled to pitch.
The Yankees starter is Vidal Nuno. Some other guys are probably also scheduled to pitch.

Many people have worries about asbestos, but undisturbed asbestos usually poses no problem. However, care should be taken to prevent the release of asbestos fibres as they can cause serious damage to your health.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in a range of building materials as it is resistant to heat, fire and corrosive chemicals. Asbestos was used extensively as a building material from the 1950s through to the mid 1980s. When asbestos containing materials (ACMs) become damaged or deteriorate with age they can release fibres into the air. The fibres produced can penetrate the lungs and over time result in conditions such as mesothelioma and asbestosis. Since 1993 the use of asbestos in most products has been banned. There is a very low level of asbestos fibres present in the atmosphere, exposure to which is unlikely to harm people's health.
The greatest risk arises when asbestos is damaged or drilled, sawn, scrubbed or sanded. DIY can result in brief but high levels of exposure. Unfortunately you cannot always tell whether a product contains asbestos simply by looking at it. If you are planning home improvements or maintenance and think you may have asbestos in your home, always ask our permission in the first instance.
To gather information on asbestos in your home, the Council has commissioned a survey of all its housing stock. The survey will result in further information being provided to tenants where their properties contain asbestos and arrangements will be put in place to manage the asbestos. It is not Council policy to remove all asbestos from its properties which is in line with safe working practice and Government guidelines.
How you can help us
You should
- Supervise children and pets while the work is taking place
- Follow any warning notices the contractor may put up during the work
- Allow our employees and contractors to enter your property at reasonable times to inspect or carry out the work without interruptions
- Remove possessions and valuables from the work area
- Respect the contractors right to work in a smoke free environment.
Customer Care and feedback
We always value your comment. If you have any comments or complaints about an improvement project then please inform your project liaison officer or contact us directly.
You can get full details of our customer service standards and how to give us your feedback from our local office or via our web site.

text: We were in Calgary for a family wedding with our sister and brother-in-law. This was by far a much better choice of accommodation than a hotel. At the Highwood House there are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level so we had the place to ourselves. Location was perfect - we were able to walk the 10 mins.... More

We where four persons staying at the condo, which was perfect located in Clearwater, close to the beach and restaurangs. The condo was very clean and suited us vell. The kitchen had everything that we need for cooking. Mike was very helpful giving us tips of restaurangs and what to do in Clearwater. The Pier 60 was a very nice place to be around sunset. Like that it had free Movie on saturdays. The beach was absolutly wounderful. I can really recomend this apartment and Clearwater beach for a holiday. Wish I could come back soon loved it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Vi bodde här i 10 dagar och hade en super semester. Ett jätte bra boende om man har barn med lekplats utanför dörren och närheten till stranden. Det fanns även poler i närheten men de var stängda tom Mars tyvärr. A perfect condo when you have kids with the playground outside and the beach so close.

We loved our long weekend getaway at Beachy Keen, and Mike was so helpful and accommodating. Clearwater Beach was a great place to take our family with young kids, and the condo was so convenient to the beach, restaurants and shops. Other than the grocery store and a visit to the aquarium on a rainy morning, we didn't use our car at all. Would definitely stay here again!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Hi Erin, Thanks for the review! We are giving the kitchen a face lift and re-painting the Condo with some Carribean style colors for an Island feel. I will keep you posted. Hope to hear from you again soon! Sincerely, Mike

The condo was clean, nicely decorated and cute. It was in a great location near a park and ALL the shopping places are in walking distance from it, but it was set back far enough to seem private. The public beach was close too! Mike was GREAT to work with and very helpful with recommendations on where to eat, what to see and how to find things we were looking for, his assistance was GREATLY appreciated! It was quiet there, no loud or rowdy neighbors, so it's perfect for a family get away. I would love to recommend Beachy Keen to anyone visiting Clearwater Beach. :)Owner response: Hi Lori, I'm happy that you and your family enjoyed yourselves and thanks for the review! Sincerely, Mike

All we wanted was a clean apartment with 2 bedrooms and a/c, within close proximity to clearwater beach, we got that and a lot more with this property! Im glad we went for this apartment, the owner Mike was quick to answer any queries I had and this put my mind at rest. Being from the UK I was more than apprehensive but everything turned out just fine. The unit is much nicer on the inside , and the photos don't do it justice. Its not luxurious but if that's what you are after stay at the SandPearl and pay much much more for just one room!!! The beds were very comfortable, I am fussy and I found them comfortable, the bed sheets were very soft as well. The porch was a great area to dry off wet swim suits. There is a laundry room on site which was very useful. The kitchen was more than adequate for our needs (a bit of lunch cooking and breakfast), the pots were fine and the owner's friend popped round with a non-stick frying pan which was appreciated (could do with a non-metallic spatula to go with it now!) . The AC was noisy but we didn't mind, it was very effective. It was great to be somewhere with a bit of space especially after being in a hotel room at Disney. Note to future renters: after you put in the code for the front door, twist the knob hard to the right, its a little stiff but it does open!! The location of the apartment was ideal, literally a few minutes' walk in a straight line to the beach!! Not too far to be carrying the chairs, beach umbrella, boogie board/woggles and sand toys all provided in the apartment. There are some grocery shops within 2 mins of the apartment and all amenities are within walking distance. Kiku Japanese restaurant was our favourite. I was very satisfied with the whole experience and wouldn't hesitate to go back there again.Owner response: Hi Rita, I am glad that you had a safe trip back across the pond! Thanks for those kind comments. Our goal has always been to provide a comfortable, clean, roomy condo in a great location for a good value. So you are our ideal customer! P.S. I will pick up the Spatula Sincerely, Yankee Mike from Pa.

We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in deze condo. Hij was wat verouderd en niet heel groot maar schoon en netjes. Handdoeken, strandlakens alles was voorzien. Een veranda waar je lekker buiten kon zitten in de avond zonder lek gestoken te worden. De ligging is perfect bijna aan het strand, park oversteken en je bent er 3 min lopen. Ook zwembad ligt op hoek van de straat waar je ook heerlijk kunt verblijven. Wifi was in begin moeilijk te krijgen maar halverwege de week hadden we de goeie te pakken. Qua ligging ook erg centraal, vlakbij de winkelstraat met leuke winkels en restaurantjes. Kortom een aanrader als je niet te veel op luxe bent gericht. Wij hebben er een goede eerste vakantieweek door gebracht.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/2

We had some issues with the owner trying to get the code to the lock on the door. We were instructed to call him when we arrived in Clearwater, but my calls kept going straight to voice mail. The cleaning lady came by about 4:20 p.m. to 'check on us' and let us in--check in was at 4:00 p.m. The condo had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The screened porch is very small and looks out on a parking lot. There were limited utensils in the kitchen and the pots and pans were pretty rough. Overall the condo was o.k., but I would not recommend staying there.Owner response: This review is more disapointing for me to read than the tenant to write. Check in is at 4:PM. The tenants were in the Condo by 4:10. Our goal has always been to lease a clean comfortable condo that is affordable in a great location. The Lanai is small but it does not overlook a parking lot. It is just a spot for 2-3 people to relax, have morning coffee or read. The tenant mentioned to us that she was not happy with the pots. I immediately instructed my staff to replace the pots and pans. I did not know anything about the utensils but I will have my staff check all silverware and add where needed. We have many pictures of the condo on the site as well as many great reviews. I am sorry that the tenant was expecting something different than what was in the photos and reviews.

I have never done this before with home away and was very nervous at first! Mike the owner of the property was so nice and helping me feel at ease and was quick to get back to all my questions and concerns i had. My husband and I wanted to take our 19 month old daughter and mother in law on a very nice first family vacation! This is a beautiful little 2 bed room condo with spacious living room and dinning room This allowed plenty of room for my daughter to run around in! The condo was fully stocked with beach toys, chairs for the beach and plenty of towels! When we arrived Mike was so helpful with getting us to the condo from the airport and also giving us ideas of where to we would want to try new things and eat & places to see ! The condo is very clean& nicely kept, and after we were there for a day the lady who takes care of the property stopped in to introduce her self and asked if we needed anything! I think that is very nice and made us feel comfortable. Honestly you can not ask for a better location This condo is snugged in a very QUIET neighborhood YET you are literally a block from the beach if that ! There is a large play ground and park in front of the property which was perfect for our on the go toddler ! There is a pool with WATER SLIDES near the property that we enjoyed as well! We rented a car to get around but we didn't use it much because we walked to everything ( restaurants, shopping, beach, pool,pier 61,even a CVS pharmacy) ! This was our first time to clear water beach and will not be our last! We plan on staying here again because this was the perfect family vacation we were looking for !Owner response: Our goal is to provide you with the best value value while making your stay as worry free as possible and to fave fun! I'm glad that we accomplished your goals and ours! Sincerely, Mike

We found the condo nice and clean. The beds were comfortable and we were only a short walk accross a park to the beach. Also, there were restaurants with entertainment within walking distance. We were just far enough away from the high traffic area near the roundabout too. The condo was just as the photos show. It's not brand new, but well maintained. There were beach "supplies" (chairs, fishing poles, etc.) on the back porch if you want and kitchen had everything you would need for cooking. We had a great time even though it was through Hurricane Sandy.Owner response: Mark, Thanks for staying with us. I am glad that you found "Beachy Keen condo" comfortable, clean and convenient to beach, shopping and restaurants. We hope to hear from you again soon! MIke

What a beautiful rental! Very clean and has everything you need in it. Great location! The beach is really a block away and everything you need is within walking distance. You have to go the Frenchy's and they the Grouper sandwich buffalo style! We have 2 girls 11-1/2 and 5-1/2 and they had the best time of their lives here and we will be back hopefully very soon. Mike was a great guy to deal with and answered any questions I had. Thanks Mike!!Owner response: Hi Marnie, I Knew that you would like that Buffalo Grouper!!

What a great condo! We had a long day of travel (almost 24 hours) and it was so nice to walk into a nice clean place with no surprises. The condo looks just like the pictures. I appreciated there being paper towels, hand soap, toilet paper, etc. The two beds have wonderful comfortable mattresses. The location is ideal and very quiet. My kids loved the playground across the street. Working with Mike was great. I always have lots of questions and he patiently answered them all in a very timely fashion. We also had some odd circumstances with our trip and Mike was the only one willing to work with me. The beach across the street is beautiful. We appreciated the umbrellas, sand mats, sand toys and beach chairs at the condo. We didn't need anything but our bathing suits. We spent a lovely afternoon at Caladesi State Park. My kids thought it was great that we had to take a ferry to reach the park. Great picnic shelters, big bathrooms with showers and a fabulous beach. You can rent an umbrella with two chairs for $25. Fantastic shell hunting. We at at Casa Tina in Dunedin on the way back - delicious Shrimp and Mango quesadillas and tasty margaritas. One of the best features? No keys! In fact, I got so used to it I locked myself out of our apartment twice the first week we returned home.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Hi Barbara, I was happy to answer your questions. I did not know about Casa Tina but I'm glad that you got to visit Caladesi Island. Thanks for the review Sincerely, MIke

This was our first time to Clearwater Beach for a much needed 10 day vacation. This condo was perfect. It is within walking distance of everything Clearwater Beach has to offer but located in a quiet residential area that was nice to go back to. The only time we got in the car was to head over to Bright House Field to watch the Phillies. Only a block to the beach, which was fantastic. Our favorite little restaurant was Clearwater Wine Co. Great food and great staff. The owner of the condo, Michael, could not have been nicer to deal with. It was just the perfect getaway.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We traveled to Florida to move our friend home that had been working at one of the Disney parks. We spent four long days riding rides and standing in line at all the parks. I knew that by the end of our 4 days we would want to relax at the beach. I have spent time in Clear Water Beach before, and knew that for our group it would be perfect. Plus the drive from Orlando isn't that long! We had 5 people total.We are all 23-24 years old. We wanted to be near the action but still have space from all the crazy summer breakers. The cost of renting two hotel rooms plus having to eat out every meal wasn't appealing to us.There are not many places on the island that can hold 5 or more people and be available for 3 or more nights. Beachy Keen is one of the very few. It was perfect for our group! Everything felt clean and homey. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking. 2 bedrooms with good size beds and plenty of closet space. The bathroom was much lager than expected. The table which holds six people was great not only for dinners, but for card games and yhatzee! They suppy plenty of beach toys and chairs if needed. The girls loved the mirrored wall, it allowed plenty of space for getting dressed up to go out at night. As far as location goes, you can't beat it! It was literally 2 minutes away from the beach. If you don't want to walk, there is a public parking lot near the beach access. We walked everywhere! Pier 60 is less than a mile away. The beach shops are less than a 10 minute walk away and there are plenty of restaurants and night life within walking distance( 5-10minutes). There is a park across the street that is great for kids as well a water park a few blocks away. Mike was very helpful with any requests that we had. You can really tell by talking with him, that he wants everyone that stays there to enjoy their stay. We had a great time and have all agreed that when we return, we will definitely be booking our stay at Beachy Keen.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Hi Lauren, Thanks for the review. When we purchased "Beachy Keen" we wanted a nice, roomy, and comfortable place that was convenient to beach, shopping and entertainment. It also had to be inexpensive for renters. I'm glad you saw it that way too! Sincerely, Mike

We had a great time in Clearwater Beach, thanks to Mike, the owner. He switched his own condo with another on Mandalay Bay, thinking that the second place would fit our needs better, and he was right. The property worked out very well for us; it came with a pool while the other did not; the patio space and internet service was nice; it was well equipped and maintained. We appreciate Mike taking a personal interest in our family; we especially appreciate him having the rental manager stop by and check on us. His recommendations for things to do and places to eat were spot on. The beach was very clean, safe and fun. We had a fantastic vacation and thankful for the attentive service Mike provided. We hope to be back some time. Mike, Paula, and FamilyRecommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Mike, Our objective has always been to make our tenants as comfortable as possible and to do eveything we can to create great memories about Clearwater Beach and our Condo. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Sincerely, Mike D.

This was our first time staying in Clearwater and my family and I had a great time. The description of the condo is very accurate, clean, conviently located and just a good place for our family. The owner is wonderful and very helpful. The one down fall is it does have only one bathroom (as clearly stated in the description) but with 2 teenagers we needed another bathroom. Great thing to know is the owner is planning toupdate the condo to include a 2nd bathroom. We will definitely be returning again...Hopefully sooner than later:) The sunsets at pier 60 were breathtaking!! I would recommend this condo to anyone that wants to have an enjoyable stay in Clearwater.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

The location of this condo is great ! The beach is spectacular especially the sunsets. You can walk to everything you would need for a week's vacation and even take the Jolly Trolley to the Publix. The trolley driver's were very friendly and helpful. Our condo was perfect for 4 and we had everything we needed. Our contact (Michael) phoned us the night we arrived to see if everything was ok. One of our favourite restaurants for breakfast was Clear Skies and we enjoyed the seafood at Crabby Bill's. This was a very enjoyable vacation with a perfect location !!!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

This was our Christmas vacation for 2009. My wife 14yr old and 9yr old daughters as well as myself were not impressed at all. The owner was accomodating when our flight was delayed a day and friendly on phone. The unit is on the 1st floor and in the middle. It has a mildew smell to it and no way to get a cross breeze. The bedroom closets to the bathroom has issues. The linens need replacement (all). The mattress cover is all torn as is the bedskirt and the fitted sheet doesn't stay on. The right sliding glass door panel in this room doesn't lock. We wore our socks and slippers all 10 days of our stay as after the 1st day our feet were black. The large burner on the stove is on an angle, little hard to cook. The toaster need to be replaced. The items that were in the dishwsher when we arived were dirty. The maid was leaving as we arrived. Cooking utensils need replacing. The water pressure is horrible and the hot water never gets very hot. I never felt safe at night with the type of lock on the door nor did i feel my items were safe when we were not there. Not enough towels/face cloths. Both mattresses need to be replaced. I suggest on room have a king bed and the other 2 twins. We did not use the coffee pot but did move it and there was dried coffee under it on the counter. It wiped right off. We heard the high heels of the woman upstairs and the young boy had a ball of opening and shutting the sliding glass door. I can say it is a short walk to the beach and peir 60. The community pool not open during our stay (9yr old unhappy with that). I believe the entire propety needs a complete updating. The tub looks great. A washer and dryer on site would be a plus. Did not try any of the suggested popular resturants as most night we were not in town. I will visit the area again but not the property.Owner response: I was quite surprised and at the same time disapointed to read this renters review as my ultimate goal is to have all of my guests enjoy their time at Clearwater Beach and our Condo. My family stayed at our Condo the week following the unhappy tenant and found none of the issues that the tenant mentioned.We have our Cleaning Service re check our Condo before each stay. We do have Laundry facilities on the premises.The mattresses are only 4 years old. I will check the mattress cover and skirt and replace if needed There are always 6-8 bath towels. There are new pots and Pans in the cabinet as well as plenty of utensils. Our location is in a quiet area and quite safe. In the four years that we have rented to guests no one has ever mentioned the issues that this renter has brought up. In fact all of our past reviews have been favorable. I always make it a point to tell all of our guests to let me know if they find something that is unsatisfactory about their stay and I would try and correct the problem. We have maintanence people and cleaning people available 24 hours per day. Unless I receive a phone call (and I did not in this case) I can not help.

Beachy Keen is in a GREAT location. A very short walk across the park/play ground area to a beautiful stretch of Clear Water Beach. Watch the sunset from the beach or toast the "that painting cannot be real-like beauty" from Frenchy's or the Pavillion The 2 beach front restaurants have good/reasonable pub food. Peel and Eat shrimp at Frenchy's is ++++-the Big Grouper sandwich at the Pavillion is more than enough for two!! For a "special night" the Beachcomber is excellent and an easy walk The Hess Convenient Store is well-stocked and has Boar's Head cold cuts $s less than Publix. Unless plans include wide-spread touring there is no need for a car. The Jolly Trolly is always about. We had glorious weather(bring beach towels)--inside time was not an issue. The condo is basic but comfortable--TV is fine and the large table great for eating, card-playing/games. The owner is very nice and available via phone. Other than a few minor things: very little TP--2 beach chairs(4 advertised) -- the small porch has a nice table and charis -too small to sit there-- only 1 trash bag. However we all felt (5) any amenities that are lacking are secondary to it's location and if Mother Nature cooperates the beach will be all that matters and that gets a 20 out of 10!!! We had such a good time--Satisfied Sisters!!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

My family of 4 stayed here for 8 days at the end of June and beginning of July. The condo was very comfortable all around. Eerything was cleaned and nicely placed. It had eveyrhitng we needed. It was great to have a washer and dryer and use it whenever we needed it without any cost. The condo is near the beach crossing only one street. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Peir where there are nightly events and a craft market. We found some great restaurants nearby as well as within a short drive. We would return here for future vacations with no second thoughts.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

We had just had two weeks staying in Clermont nr Orlando before driving over to Clearwater. Our stay here was to be an antedote to the madness (but great fun !) of the "parks". Beachy Keen fitted the bill ! The condo has easy access, being on the ground floor with parking only 10 paces from the door. It's neat and tidy, the lounge is spacious with room to ... lounge, and the air con' is really good. The kitchen, bathroom and the bedrooms are fine. There was five of us staying, the only downside was the fold out sofa. Our teenage son slept on the sofa as a sofa, because the fold out bed wasn't comfortable. The beach is just across the road, and is ... WOW ! For eats/drinks we recommend breakfasts at "Cear Sky" to start your day (just along Mandalay), the Thai restaurant "Bualuang" for delicious relaxing dinners (right opposite the condo) and "The Palm Pavilion" for lunches and ... anytime really (wonderful sunsets). There's also a "Publix" close by that we used for the coffee, milk, bread etc. run. If you don't want to drive, there's the "Jolly Trolleys" ! We met Charlie, the driver of "Jolly Trolley" No. 4. If you want to know what's what and where to find it, "Jolly Trolley" driver Charlie is your man ... and he'll take you to "the best Hot dogs in Clearwater". We sunbathed, swam, jet skied, hung out at Pier 60 and ... chilled. We had a short stay ... and a fantastic time, and so will you. Last but not least, we'd like to thank Mike, our contact. The communication and information he provided was faultless. Thanks again Mike. We'll be back, and will recommend to others. : )Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Beachy Keen was exactly what we wanted out of a Clearwater Beach rental. The beach is literally a block away and we did not have to rent a car to get around. Everything is accessible by foot or trolley. As a group of 2 couples, it was difficult to find a condo rental with two large beds and Beachy Keen was one of the few locations that fit the bill. The rooms are spacious and clean, the kitchen has all you need for breakfast cooking, and the "porch" is great for a relaxing nap. Be sure to check out the bars in the area and sign up for any tours at the marina! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone else interested!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

When we decided to take a relaxing vacation to get away from the stress of work, traffic, shuttling to various events for our kids, we zeroed in on Clearwater Beach. Our search for accomodations focused on a place possessing the following attributes: close to the beach, not part of a massive motel or condo complex, quiet at night, within short walking distance of restaurants and shopping while also allowing for easy travel to Tampa area attractions. We hit the bullseye when we found Beachy Keen. The beach is about a 4 - 5 minute walk from the front door of the condo. This allows you to go back and forth easily for forgotten items, lunch breaks or whatever. The beach is beautiful and the waves on the Gulf are very relaxing. Visitors to the beach can enjoy themselves in a variety of ways including sun bathing, boogey boarding, body surfing, searching for shells, building sand castles, parasailing or any number of activities which the setting allows for. Dining in Clearwater Beach is great with many diverse settings and meal choices although sea food is featured. We were able to walk to all the restaurants we ate at - be they on the beach or in the cool dining, shopping and entertainment areas along Mandalay. My wife and I decided that we would eat breakfasts and lunches at the condo and the grocery store on the island, Publix, was a five minute drive away and had everything we needed. When we left the beach to go to Busch Gardens and the Florida Aquarium, the drives were quick and easy. And while we had a great time visiting the parks, we did not have to drive our car for four days during our stay. Our goal of getting away for a relaxing vacation on the Gulf was attained and staying at Beachy Keen was the ideal location for us to meet our objectives. I also can't thank the owners enough for all of their help and information. They made the whole propery rental experience very easy.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

6 of us girls enjoyed a totally relaxing week at Beachy Keen in March. We had great weather (only one day of rain) and loved being in Clearwater! The condo is perfectly located - very close to the beach and walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. Didn't have a car, but took the Jolly Trolly to Publix for groceries and walked everywhere else! Clearwater had just the right amount of nightlife for us! The bars/restaurants weren't crazy at night but we were able to go out and have a good time. The condo is well suited for 4 adults (two queen beds) but 6 adults was a bit rough because the fold-out couch was very uncomfortable! Additionally, there wasn't internet at the condo (although the listing said there was), but we were able to get free wireless from the Clearwater Library which is a two minute walk! The rec center pool also provides a nice break from the beach. Other sites we enjoyed were Pier 60, Clearwater Aquarium, Crabby Billy's, and Frenchy's!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

When my family and I decided to take a vacation, the beautiful waters of the Gulf were definately an alluring point, and we knew we had to find a place in Clear Water. We searched around and chose to rent this condo -what a great decision that was! The location of the condo is phenominal. Not only is it located in a clean, quiet building with close parking, but it is within walking distance from all kinds of attractions anyone would want to visit while on a vacation. For example; accross the street from this convenient resort i found the park wonderful for having a catch or going for a run and it's equipped with a beautiful and CLEAN playground that was perfect for the kids. Just one block away from there, I was faced with even more options besides the charming Clear Water beach, such as grabing a bite to eat from the appearantly famous, Palm Pavilion, known for its world class sunset view and, of course, Florida native; Frenchy's) spending the day at the pool or tennis courts, or doing some shopping. Just at the end of the shopping strip I met up with the exciting Peir 60 which provided entertainment every night. Honestly, my husband and I hardly had to use our rental car for the any part of the vacation. However, two famous amusement parks are only a short drive away with Busch Gardens being at most 30mins and Disney a little over an hour. (If that's what you're into.) Location aside, the condo itself was truely an enjoyable place to stay. It's clever name, "Beachy Keen" speaks for itself as I'm sure anyone who stays there will enjoy it. It comfortably sleeps six people with it's pull-out couch and is decorated with style. It's beachy adornments and charismatic plants added to the feeling of relaxation and are sure to put any group at ease, as it did my family. Plus, it's kept very clean and updated. The kitchen is a perfect size and items such as pots, pans, plates, ect. are all provided for you. The bedrooms both have cable T.V. and sliding doors leading to a cosy lanai. I liked to wake up in the morning, make some coffee and sit out there listening to music while enjoying the one-of-a-kind Florida weather. So whether your idea of a vacation means going out every night, shopping and sight-seeing, or just relaxing inside, I would definately reccomend Beachy Keen to virtually anyone looking for the perfect vacation.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

News Release
Friday, April 08, 2011
Media contact: Joy Hill, 352-258-3426
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will continue treating the Butler Chain of Lakes for hydrilla throughout the month of April.
The FWC will treat the hydrilla on lakes Down, Butler and Tibet with Sonar AS™ and Sonar Q™ herbicides, which are approved for use in lakes by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and commonly used by the FWC for hydrilla control. Lakes Louise, Isleworth, Blanche and Sheen will be treated with Galleon™, another EPA-approved aquatic herbicide commonly used to treat lakes for hydrilla.
There are no restrictions for fishing, swimming or consumption by humans or animals. However, some vegetation could be sensitive, so the FWC recommends that lakefront residents do not use the treated water for irrigation for 50 days (Galleon™) and 100 days (Sonar AS™ and Sonar Q™). To find out suggested restrictions for specific lakes, residents should contact the FWC at 321-246-0682.
Hydrilla is an invasive, exotic aquatic plant spread easily by boats throughout the state's lakes and rivers. It clogs waterways, making recreational activities difficult or impossible, and it chokes out beneficial native plants. Managing and treating it is necessary for the health of Florida's waters and to enable continued recreational boating and other aquatic activities.
For questions about this treatment, contact Alicia Knecht, FWC invasive plant management regional biologist, at 321-246-0682.
FWC Facts:The wild pig, also called the wild hog, wild boar or feral pig, is not a Florida native and may have been introduced by Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto as early as 1539.

Rosenborg BK 3, Sounders FC 0
Posted by: Matt Gaschk
Norwegian champions Rosenborg BK defeated the Sounders FC 3-0 in the first round of the La Manga Cup in Spain and will face Stabaek on Sunday at 6 am PT.
LA MANGA, Spain -- It wasn't the start the Sounders FC were hoping for when they entered the La Manga Cup, but after allowing a quick goal to Rosenborg BK Thursday in their first game of the Spanish preseason, Seattle held their own against the defending Norwegian champions.Though they ended the match with a 3-0 loss, the Sounders took some positives steps in building towards MLS First Kick on March 25 at Qwest Field against the Philadelphia Union.
Morten Moldskred opened scoring in the second minute and the Sounders were unable to recover. Per Ciljian Skjelbred added a second before the first half ended and Rade Prica made it 3-0 in the second half.
"Obviously they're a good team and for us it's good to play games against opponents of that quality. It gives us chance to take a measure of where we're at," head coach Sigi Schmid said. "They're a quality that is going to be in the Champions League next year and I thought they played well. The early goal certainly helped them. Outside of that I thought we had some moments in the game, but we have away some bad goals."
Moldskred got Rosenborg out on the right foot and they continued to control possession for much of the first half. Even still, Seattle was able to generate some good offensive possession throughout the game.
In the seventh minute, Lamar Neagle made a run from the left side into the middle of the field near the top of the 18-yard box, but his shot was corralled by Rosenborg keeper Daniel Orslund. In the 16th minute, the Sounders held the ball in the offensive third for an extended period of time, but were unable to get the ball into a dangerous scoring position.
After turning away a Seattle shot, Rosenborg countered the other way and Skjelbred uncorked a powerful shot from left of center at the top of the box that just eluded the reach of Kasey Keller diving to his left and found the back of the net for a 2-0 Rosenborg lead.
Late in the first half, the Sounders went back on the offensive, spurred by a dramatic parry-save by Kasey Keller on a shot from Prica in the 25th minute. Turning away the would-be goal set a spark for the Sounders, who through Freddie Ljungberg and the speed of Sanna Nyassi were able to build some offensive flow. It was the final touch into the box that they were missing though and the 2-0 Rosenborg lead held at halftime.
At the start of the second half, Schmid and the Sounders changed their lineup, bringing in seven new players. The result was a more aggressive offensive attack, but it also was unable to render any goals for the Sounders.
In the first five minutes of the second half, midfield trialist Rayner Michael asserted his presence with a cross from the left side that threatened Orslund and a shot from 25 yards out. Though neither bore any fruit, the maneuvers showed an aggressiveness that was lacking in the first half. Add to that the pressure up top from Roger Levesque and Tye Perdido along with Nathan Sturgis leading the charge from the midfield; only the swirling winds and the driving rain seemed to be able to keep the Sounders from scoring, slowing every run and leaving every ball passed through the air to float back like a balloon.
Then a tough rebound led to a 3-0 lead for Rosenborg. Chris Eylander punched out a problematic cross from the left side and it errantly spilled to Prica at the far post and he poked it in for a goal in the 66th minute.
The second-half subs continued to pour on the pressure like the rain from the sky, but they couldn't break the Rosenborg defense.
"I thought even with the weather we dealt with it well. I thought we had moments in the game where he got chances. We were around the goal for sure," Schmid said. "I didn't think we embarrassed ourselves, but certainly the measure of the game they were the better team."
The Sounders FC will face Norwegian club Stabaek on Sunday, February 21 at 3 pm local time (6 am Pacific).
Sounders FC: Kasey Keller (Chris Eylander 46), James Riley (Zach Scott 60), Tyrone Marshall (Patrick Ianni 46), Jhon Kennedy Hurtado (Jamel Wallace 60), Tyson Wahl (Leo Gonzalez 60), Sanna Nyassi (David Estrada 46), Osvaldo Alonso (Stephen King 60), Peter Vagenas (Nathan Sturgis 46), Lamar Neagle (Rayner Michael 46), Fredy Montero (Roger Levesque 46), Freddie Ljungberg (Tye Perdido 46).
Rosenborg BK starters (substitutions were not announced): Daniel Orlund, Mikael Lustig, Vadim Demidov, Kris Stadsgaard, Mikael Dorsin, Morten Moldskred, Gerrard Aaren, Per Ciljan Skjelbred, Anthony Annan, Steffen Iversen, Rade Prica.
Scoring Summary
Rosenborg BK: Moldskred, 2; Skjelbred, 18; Prica, 66
Sounders FC: None
