I have trained a young employee of the restaurant to manage all three systems." The Harlem Rooftop at the Kennedy Center has a recently installed green wall. "We just planted our first 16 out of 50 towers at the Harlem rooftop site at the Kennedy Center and tied the towers in with our 2 deepwater troughs.

The aphids seem to especially favor the Russian Red Kale." Other…

Con Edison this morning reports the following customers remaining without in the dark in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown:
Sleepy Hollow: 21 outages affecting 345 customers.
Tarrytown: 36 outages affecting 535 customers.
We are now out of it this yet, but close.
The Village of Sleepy Hollow reports gas stations at North Broadway and Pocantico are back in service after suffering outages that made it impossible to pump the gas that they did have.
At 9:30 p.m., resident Vishal Brown reported seeing five Con Edison trucks on Pocantico, where downed lines seemed to be impacting the whole surrounding neighborhood including hundreds in the Van Tassel apartments and houses surrounding Barnhardt Park. By 10:30 p.m., Village Administrator Anthony Giaccio reported that power had been restored to this large group of people.
That leaves only smaller pockets of people without power sprinkled throughout the villages.
Here are those who remain in need of Con Ed:
Sleepy Hollow:
Sleepy Hollow Manor, 90 customers.
Philipse Manor, 5 outages affecting 5 customers.
Around Kingsland Point, 2 outages affecting 76 customers.
Devries area and across Broadway at the base of cemetery: 164 customers out.
Up 448, 2 outages, 2 customers.
Wilson Park Drive: 2 outages, 2 customers.
Points off Beekman: RESTORED
EF area: 2 outages, 2 customers.
Loh Street area: 5 outages, 49 customers.
Ridgecroft Estates: 9 outages, 165 customers.
Edgemont area: 4 outages, 248 customers.
Note that the latest outage map may not quite be in synch with the actual situation in your home.
Are you still without power or know a neighbor who is? Tell us in the comments. Are you enjoying your new restoration? How was this long stretch for you and how did you survive it?
In Tarrytown, the Community Opportunity Center, due to this large restoration of power is no longer operating as an overnight shelter, however they are still open to the public by day for warming/electricity/wifi needs.

1. Arrival and Embarkation: We drove ourselves to the port and were a little confused by the signs as to where we were supposed to be; it wasn't clear if they had a drop-off lane and it wasn't clear what lane you should be in for the parking garage. Once we parked and dragged our luggage to the terminal, it wasn't clear if we should get in a line (again, not well marked) or take our bags somewhere else. We got in a line that said Concierge Class check-in and after a few people got behind us, we were told we had to take our luggage somewhere else - which was quite a pain since we had to go back through the line that had formed behind us. Not that we were expecting 'red carpet' treatment because we were 'Concierge Class', but we did think that status was supposed to mean a little faster check-in - it wasn't. All the lines were long and slow. Once we were on the ship, our luggage didn't arrive to our room for over four hours! Again, we did expect a little faster service, especially with Concierge Class.
2. Disembarkation: Because we drove ourselves to the ship, we elected to carry off our own luggage and depart at the earliest time. This was a BIG mistake! We were supposed to be on the 3rd deck by 745 am, so we left our room at 705. We went to the elevators and waited over 20 minutes before we decided to carry our luggage down to the 3rd deck from the 9th. The elevators were jam packed full, mostly of people going to and from breakfast. Once we got down to the 3rd deck, the line was already wrapped around and around - and only two crew members in sight to manage the chaos (but not to help anyone). Once the line started moving, though, it actually went quite fast. It was just insane that the elevators were so unavailable to move disembarking passengers with luggage!
3. Concierge Class: Is it worth the extra money? I don't think so. The evident 'perks' that we got weren't worth it. When we asked our steward about the 'pillow menu', he seemed almost sheepish about his reply and explained that our only options (different than the provided pillows) were a body pillow or a 'contour' pillow. We did have nice fluffy robes (fluffier than 'regular' rooms) but we didn't really use them. We did have afternoon canape but we had to 'opt in' every day by filling out the form and we often opted out. I guess the best 'perk' for us was the 'expanded' breakfast menu, which we enjoyed every morning delivered to our room. Not clear what other 'perks' we had.
Enough of my gripes! Like I said earlier, our overall experience was excellent. We never ate in the Main Dining Room (horrors, I know!). We had breakfast delivered to our room every morning. We ate many lunches at Bistro On 5 ($5 surcharge) and loved it (Mario's wonderful!). We bought a package deal for the specialty restaurants (5 dinners) and then added two more later (at a discount) for a total of 7 dinners at specialty restaurants. Four times at QSine (loved it that much! - again, Mario was wonderful, as was Alfredo and the restaurant's hostess - a beauty from Serbia), twice at Tuscan Grill (great service and great food!), and once at Murano (amazing, delicious, beautiful food and excellent wine list!). The rest of our dinners we ate at the buffet and were quite pleased with the selection and quality.
We loved to hang out in the late afternoon/evenings at the Oceanview Bar, which was open air behind the buffet with an aft view. We loved the servers out there (especially Ronaldo, who remembered us after the first night!) and the view/atmosphere was just what we wanted on a vacation - easy, gorgeous, warm. Perfect place to watch as the ship left a port, or even when we were just sailing.
Compared to our last cruise (on HAL), this one had a lot more people which was evident at the pools. But surprisingly, not really evident at the buffet - never really had to wait and could always find a table. Again compared to HAL, the crew was more diverse (we met crew members from Serbia, Honduras, Italy, Philippines, Indonesia, Montenegro, Jamaica, etc) but everyone was always cheerful, kind, and helpful.
One other bummer - we had to miss a port call. The Port Authority in Curacao wouldn't let the ship dock due to sea conditions (it was extremely windy and choppy that morning). At least we got to see the island from the ship. So we had one extra day at sea.
I must point out, that, despite my gripes here, we were so pleased with our experience that we took advantage of the Open Passage program - so we know we'll be sailing with Celebrity again soon! And we can't wait!

Dog show hurdles are a doddle on two legs
9:30am Tuesday 6th May 2014 in News
THESE girls were showing the dogs how it was done at the East Oxford Fun Dog Show yesterday.
Molly Ackland and her friends Anna Beekmayer and Olivia Hartley led the way through the hurdles course at the dog show at the SS Mary and John School playing field.
Molly, 11, said: "It was quite a lot of fun doing the courses. I can understand why the dogs would like it.
"My favourite one to watch was the hurdles, because you could see both the dogs and their owners were having a nice time."
The day was put on by Friends of Aston's Eyot.
There were dog classes, which cost £1 to enter, and a raffle and tombola as well as the jumping.
Molly said: "I have a dog, an English springer spaniel Milly, but I didn't take her to the show.
"I may enter her in the grooming contest next year though."

Campus Housing:
Our campus' housing looks like regular housing just a touch of college experience. 2014-2015 would be my first year living in a house so I don't have much to say about it. It probably could get a little hectic but, something I signed up for.
Mostly anybody that comes in to Tiffin University starts as an athlete. It's great to see people taking advantage of the sports in our school.
You have to make the most of any college you attend. The nightlife is awesome depending on what friends you have!
it was hassle but I got what i needed.
My Major is government and it was a easy process to get involved into.
I enjoy it because the professor are very helpful.
Greek Life:
Not hard to get into but two frats/sororities make you do stupid things.
Campus Dining:
Food plan is way too much and the food is terrible.
Off-Campus Housing:
Just getting off campus housing is a chore and a half. The schools policy is to stay on campus for three years but for some students who financially cannot afford it the school is very strict and would rather you leave the school for good then have you be off campus and attend school.
Health & Safety:
At Tiffin there is a "Nightwatch" program that is our campus security. We are a pretty lit campus except for Miller Hall area.
Guys & Girls:
The social scene is anything but spectacular. If a boy or girl wants to get the full "college experience" then they should look at the schools party rating. Tiffin during the early months is better than the winter and spring months. Since the school has a policy of living on campus until you are a senior, the parties are very limited.As for the campus look many people dress to be comfortable. Where whatever you wish!
Campus Strictness:
To be honest on campus restrictions, the rules are not hard to follow and certain things such as spending nights in other dorms or having visitors is lenient. However the visitor must be of age but half the time the school does not check up on that fact. As for drinking it is very strict but as the rule goes, if you're not stupid and you are quite then do as you will.
Campus Dining:
Could use more dining options
Off-Campus Dining:
Restaurants are okay, if generic
Health & Safety:
I feel relatively safe on campus
Game room is too far away from dorms
Washington DC and study abroad opportunities
Campus Housing:
Admins do not enforce drug policy.
More diverse than my high school
More financial aid would be great
As a newer program, it could use development
Professors are good, and care about education
Campus life is get especially for first year students. The facilities are well kept and there is loads of facilities to help students with whatever they need.
Hayes not only has it's own art museum and studio there is also a recording studio.
Off-Campus Housing:
I can't say much about off-campus living since I haven't experienced it yet.

Comment: Here's an idea (Score 1) 84
Set policy. Like, you have a list of recommended software. I'd say at least two browsers and a bunch of utility software. You support those, and beyond that it's best-effort. Curate the collection. With a clear idea of what's in use, you can even start to assemble the whole thing from FOSS and eventually move to a non-proprietary OS to underpin the tools. But that really is but a side-effect of having a good grasp of the needs of your shop. See the LiMux project.
Communicate. Not just this one thing, your entire policy, FAQs, tips and tricks, what-have-you. An internal website will do. A wiki is great for this*, even if you're not opening up editing to others. But you could do that for selected parts too. Make sure everybody knows where the fount of (IT) wisdom is to be found. You don't have to be pushy about getting people to use it; even helpdeskers reading ready-made solutions to panicked people is better than having them making up answers on the spot, though this is only true if the ready-made stuff is of good quality. And if it applies to the situation, but that's the helpdesker's job to workout. So make a point of both having helpdeskers add questions and of curating the material, so you both know what's popular and that they have decent answers.
Most of all, don't get condescending; write *for* the reader, not *at* them, or worse, refer to them as "the user", like so many programmers do. Who're they writing their software for, anyway?
Once that's going you can even expand into short tutorials**, book reviews to help pick up more skills, and so on. But let's get the basics going first.
Notice that if you have your shop organised with ready-made software and information answers, people will have a well-known point to look at in case of panic. So with that in hand, in case of big trouble you can send out word with a recommendation to review the latest news in the usual places where all the details can be found, with a short abstract with enough information --accessible to them-- to let them make a "should I spend time on this now? can it wait until later?" decision.
Don't try to force people's hands until and unless absolutely necessary. Give them the tools and the right information on the right time to let them make meaningful decisions. This requires not so much serious writing skill (though it helps), but putting yourself in their perspective. "I don't understand all this, why do I need to bother?"
* Plenty wiki software available. I like dokuwiki and dislike mediawiki because syntax, which I think is important as it is a tool to express and so convey the message. At minimum go for CREOLE support.
** A tutorial isn't a tutorial unless it also tells how to recover from mishaps. Most "tutorial" blogposts fail at this and as such are not worthy of the name.

Here's a Wild one for you
By Robert Farley
Published on Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 at 7:41 p.m.
In a packed town hall in Springfield, Mo., Sen. Barack Obama laid down the challenge for a duel.
His eyes weren't exactly squinting. And theme music to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly could not be heard. But the gauntlet was dropped.
"I'm ready to duel John McCain on taxes," Obama said. "Right here. Right now."
Then Obama surprised the crowd.
"I don't know if people are aware of the fact," Obama said, "but the family legend is that Wild Bill Hickok, he's a distant cousin of mine."
The crowd roared with laughter. It seemed that perhaps the sun had gotten to him.
"I'm serious, I'm serious," Obama said. "I don't know if it's true, but that's the family legend. But we're going to research that."
No need, Sen. Obama. We called the New England Historic Genealogical Society. These are the folks who back in March released the study that found that Obama is a distant relative of actor Brad Pitt (ninth cousins, to be exact).
Chris Child, a staff genealogist, compared geneological charts for Obama and Hickok and...bang...there it was. The two trees intersected with one Thomas Blossom of Holland, who arrived in Plymouth, Mass., in 1629.
The two are sixth cousins six times removed, Child said. Whatever that means.
Seems quite a length for Obama to go to support a metaphor about dueling with your opponent over taxes, but then Hickok was also a noted gambler.
Obama also said that Hickok, the legendary frontier lawman, had his first duel in Springfield, Mo. While we were digging we looked that up, too. And Obama is right again. While it's hard for many historians to separate fact from legend, it is documented that James Butler Hickok (his name wasn't even William) got the better of former Confederate Army soldier Davis Tutt in a 1865 "quick draw" duel after a dispute involving gambling debts and, you guessed it, a woman.
In the ensuing years, Hickok boasted of killing more than 100 men. Though in his defense, he said they all had it coming.
Hickok got his in 1876 after he apparently broke the cardinal rule of gunfighters: He sat with his back to the door and was shot from behind while playing poker at a saloon in Deadwood, S.D. The story was that he was holding two pairs, aces and eights — hence the term "dead man's hand" still used today.
The relation to "Wild Bill" Hickok is way cooler than the revelations earlier this year that Obama is distantly related to none other than vice president Dick Cheney. Undoubtedly, Obama took a lot of ribbing over that. Maybe those jokesters ought to sleep with one eye open because Obama's "family legend" is correct. We rule the statement True.

Although our good Gov. Mitch Daniels endorsed him, I'm pleased Senator Richard Lugar lost the primary last night. It was time for new leadership.
Speaking of new leadership, the PCA's Covenant Theological Seminary has moved former president Bryan Chapell over to the position of Chancellor and is searching for a new president. You can count on Bryan's stint as Chancellor being quite short before he moves on to another institution.
Sadly, I fear this leadership change has strengthened the hand of Covenant's faculty...Where reform of a seminary is needed (and it's very much needed at CTS), an emboldened faculty is almost never good. Nevertheless hope springs eternal and I suggest longtime fellow presbyter and acting president Mark Dalbey take the opportunity he's been presented to fire OT prof Jack Collins.
My former denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA), has a place just up the road in Chicago called McCormick Theological Seminary where Jack's shilling for evolution would fit perfectly.
Assuming Bryan and Jack are both gone in the coming year, about a third of Covenant's reform will have been accomplished. Pray that the trustees will hire a man with Biblical commitments who is humble and fears God enough to cut off Covenant's promotion of Tim Keller and fire two or three faculty members.
(TB: Disclaimer: the above declarations are my own and are not to be construed as reflecting the views of my brother David, PCA denominational officials, MTW's Paul Kooistra, Covenant Theological Seminary's Board of Trustees, or presbyters of Central Indiana Presbytery. Smile.)
Enough grey area , tell us how you really feel . Take a stand ! :-)
Much love Brother.
Wisco Man would have to agree with your assessment of Lugar losing; he may be a "nice" man, but he was a girly man, a spineless wonder, a "Can't we all get along.." silver-haired, blue blood, hoity toity-type Republican; would that all such men would soon be removed to the ashbin of history.
Chapell released this letter explaining his move:
Dear Friends,
As our Board of Trustees announced a few days ago, I will be transitioning from my post as President of Covenant Seminary as of June 1, 2012, to the position of Chancellor. I will assume the Chancellor responsibilities following my current sabbatical.
Though this move may come as a surprise to some, such a transition has been part of our discussions for several years as the Board, the President's Cabinet, and I sought to establish a strategic vision for the future of the Seminary's leadership. As the Board has worked to discern the next phase in the development of the Seminary's mission, this seemed an appropriate time for the transition to occur.
My wife, Kathy, and I have considered it a great privilege to serve the Covenant Seminary family, the PCA, and Christ's body by helping to prepare future church leaders to proclaim the gospel of grace. We now give special thanks to our God for a Board that has provided this opportunity to direct our energies to the areas of service we most treasure.
I am excited by the opportunity to focus my time on serving as an ambassador for the mission and ministry of Covenant Seminary. As Chancellor, I will continue to be available as a consultant for future Seminary leaders, teach homiletics courses, travel and speak on behalf of the Seminary, and assist in building and nurturing relationships with our many alumni, donors, friends, and other faithful supporters.
As I look back on nearly three decades of service with Covenant Seminary, first as a faculty member, then in various administrative roles, and finally as President—not to mention my time as a student here before that—I am struck by how much of my life and ministry, and that of my family as well, has revolved around and been influenced by the godly people and values of this amazing institution.
Kathy and I are profoundly grateful for the many friends in the Seminary community, past and present, who have made it such a joy to live and serve here. We are grateful to have been able to raise our children in a community so steeped in the gospel of grace and so rich with Christ-like love. We are grateful as well for the many ways in which the Lord has blessed the institution during our time here, and how he has grown it so beautifully—through the labors of many faithful and dedicated servants—into a place of increasingly expanding influence for the gospel.
In the book of Ecclesiastes, the wise Preacher reminds us: To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Eccl. 3:1 kjv). As one season in the life of Covenant Seminary draws to a close and a new one begins, please pray with me for the Lord's continued blessing on an institution that has been such a powerfully transforming part of my own life, and of the lives of so many others who have lived, studied, taught, worked, and gone forth from here to minister God's Word.
Pray for wisdom and discernment for the Seminary's leaders during this time of transition, especially Dr. Mark Dalbey as he assumes the role of Interim President, and the search committee our Board has established to seek the institution's next President. May they—and we—keep our eyes and hearts fixed always on the One who leads and guides us, and may his boundless loving-kindness spur us on to run the race before us with perseverance and with hope.
In his service,
Bryan Chapell
* * *
This was simply business as usual--it was always our plan, says Bryan. Really. I promise.
Furthermore, I'm going to work for Covenant for a long, long time as Chancellor. Really. I promise.
If Bryan leaves Covenant in the next year or so and it's apparent the plan for him to leave was in the works from the time of his move over to chancellor, I hope everyone comes back and reads this letter once again carefully evaluating its honesty.
"Though this move may come as a surprise to some, such a transition has been part of our discussions for several years as the Board, the President's Cabinet, and I sought to establish a strategic vision for the future of the Seminary's leadership. As the Board has worked to discern the next phase in the development of the Seminary's mission, this seemed an appropriate time for the transition to occur."
That sound to me like, "The Board has been thinking about firing me for some years now, and while I was gone on sabbatical they finally decided to do it."
If it was a policy dispute, I wish they'd say what it was about. That can be done politely--- it's ok for people to disagree strongly. Or, it might have been competence or scandal--- I know nothing about the situation. If they don't tell us, though, all we can do is speculate that it's something bad enough they want to keep it secret.
Dear Tim,
That was quick...
A Dionne beat me to it. That was a pretty brief stint for a position that had been in the works for several years.
[NOTE FROM TIM BAYLY: Since this comment was personal criticism, I've written the author and told him (or her) he's free to post the comment again if he does so using real and verifiable first and last names. This is our policy: those who post personal criticism of named posters or commenters must name themselves with that criticism. Thank you.]
Your blog seems to discuss more of what you're against than what you are for. Typical, arrogant, fundamentalist Baptists.
Someone's reading comprehension isn't up to the task at hand.
Below are some words I exchanged with Tim in email regarding my misguided post, along with some new ones:
I see the purpose of this blog now, and I have learned through this exchange to think carefully and look thoroughly before I post comments online. It's easy to fall into the trap of using vehement language online when there is no context of a relationship between many of the commenters, and I apologize for responding so defensively.
At first, seeing the title at the top of the blog ("Reflections on My Baptist Upbringing") along with criticisms of Covenant, Bryan Chapell, Jack Collins, and Tim Keller, I reacted suddenly and defensively, partially because a local Baptist church has been so unfairly critical of the seminary and other local reformed churches. I jumped to a wrong conclusion and should have thought more carefully about my words, rather than lashing out and becoming a perpetrator of unfair criticism myself. I'm honestly embarrassed and quite sorry.
I will say that I do think there are some more open-handed issues with regard to Christian theology and its response to secular science in particular, and I think it can be harmful in a community of believers to constantly be calling each other out on hair-splitting issues that have little to do with salvation. I am not at all suggesting we shouldn't have these important discussions; I'm more questioning the degree to which they occur at the expense of other discussions we could and should be having: how to serve the poor, how to reach out to unbelievers, how to reconcile broken relationships, etc. Wow - each one of those could be their own blog perhaps. Christians are well enough known in our culture for "proclaiming the truth;" unfortunately, we're not as known as we should be for taking actions on behalf of the oppressed, the sick, the hungry, the poor, the incarcerated, the lonely, the disabled, the mentally ill, the mistreated, the war-torn, and the weak. Most unbelievers wouldn't be as surprised to find a Christian blog making disparaging comments about "sodomites" as they might be to find Christians talking about their responsibility to create beauty in a broken world.
Having gone to a Christian college, I saw a lot of young men continually debating with one another about just about everything - from predestination to epistemology, and regardless of what they said about their pursuit of the truth, most of their peers perceived (and I think rightly so) they were more interested in winning an argument and being right than they really were about winsomely sharing the truth. I think I brought some of that experience to the table when I responded.
While I was in college, I also attended a reformed presbyterian church for a number of years that became known for condemning American culture and other non-reformed Christians more often than it talked about the transforming love of Christ and our calling to live according to His example in loving response. The PCA church I attend now focuses on the latter, and I find that approach is much more winsome as far as the gospel is concerned. This does not mean our leaders do not speak the truth in love when the time calls for it.
Sure, maybe Tim Keller has made an error on a number of theological issues like hell, but he has done more to save unbelievers from it than most truth proclaiming pastors I know. As far as Jack Collins is concerned, I think both Genesis and Revelation are vague, poetic, and perhaps metaphorical at points. I think a person can be close-handed on the inerrancy of Scripture while being open to more than one interpretation of a text like Genesis. I don't believe that violates the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Anyway, I apologize again for being so critical in a defensive, misguided outburst. I respect that you have a forum here where people can discuss these issues.

Lorenzo Brown, a 6'5 guard from North Carolina State, has been selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 52 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Brown is known as a solid playmaker and ball handler in the backcourt, and he averaged 12.4 points, 7.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds as a junior for the Wolfpack.
Well, insert your jokes about the Minnesota Timberwolves taking a point guard in the NBA Draft. Brown was a junior that entered early like his teammate C.J. Leslie, who has not yet been taken off the board. Brown was expected to be a mid-second round pick, so he slipped maybe a few picks below where he was expected to go, but the second round is always nearly impossible to predict.
Brown has prototypical size for the point guard position, and his quickness should serve him well at the next level, However, he is not an explosive athlete, and he's an inefficient scorer. As a junior he hit just 26.3 percent of his three-point attempts and shot a subpar 41.9 percent from the field. He can create his own looks off the dribble, but his lack of an outside shot limits his offensive potential.
The 22-year-old guard from Roswell, Ga., will need to make his mark as a penetrating point guard looking to set up teammates while he puts in work on his shooting stroke in practice. If he can put together a well-rounded offensive game, his size will become a bigger asset at the next level.
The Wolves have had one of the more active nights of any squad, dealing Trey Burke for Shabazz Muhammad and Gorgui Dieng, as well as selecting Andre Roberson in the second round. It might be tough for Brown to get minutes early, unless Ricky Rubio and/or J.J. Barea end up moving.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson (hip flexor) did not practice with the team on Wednesday, according to Bills reporter Joe Buscaglia. Johnson caught seven passes for 72 yards and his third touchdown of the season in the team's Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy impact: Johnson's performance against the Saints marked one of his better games of the season. Fantasy owners have to be happy with that, especially considering how much Johnson appeared to be limping throughout the game.
There is no doubt the Bill's best receiver has dropped in fantasy value over the last year and a bit. Perhaps some of that has to do with the injury to quarterback E.J. Manuel (knee).
That said, even with Manuel in the lineup, it seemed he had a better rapport with teammate Robert Woods than he did with Johnson.
Overall, Johnson has to be regarded as no more than a secondary receiver in fantasy leagues. He will face a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense in Week 9 and given his injury, fantasy owners may want to look elsewhere for a more favorable situation.

Nice place
Review submitted: June 25, 2013 Date of arrival: May 27, 2013
I and my family visited Washington DC from May 27 through June 3 and we
stayed at the Grand-View. We just loved the house and the service rendered
to us by Ms. Odette. She was available by phone and we had wonderful time
at her property. We entertained many of our friends until late at night
without the neighbor bothering us. The area was safe and we had no incident
whatsoever. The property had a lot of space and we were agreeably served. I
will recommend this property to travelers. My colleague will be renting the
same property for her daughter's graduation this June. Thank you Ms. Odette
and keep up with the good job.

Headache Vacation
Review submitted: May 21, 2013 Date of arrival: March 30, 2013
Spring break is a time to have fun together with family, kids, and friends, but renting this house was a headache for us. We have rent vacation home in many places, this was the first time we were requested to pay the service fee to PayPal for the transaction of an expensive week rent. I followed owner's instruction and paid 3% service fee to PayPal, but later the owner claimed I was short paying her $11.22 and refused to show the receipt of the transaction. Instead, the owner told me to talk to PayPal to resolve the issue. I then requested PayPal to investigate the dispute and found out that I actually overpaid her $12.22. With an unpleasant beginning in renting this vacation home, I wanted to cancel the contract to get a full refund right away. Nevertheless, the owner didn't reply for 3 weeks until the day before our departure from San Francisco to D.C. She called me and said she had other people interested in renting the house and she could give us a full refund. With little time to find another place for 13 people, we decided to keep our original plan to stay at this house, hoping we would have a very nice vacation.
Our friend in DC had informed us that Takoma Park/Hyattsville wasn't a good area, but this two level house was located in a quiet cu-de-set and grocery shopping was quite convenient. But a couple issues were found during our stay. The lower level has 2 bedrooms and a utility room, the insulation fiber glass in the utility room was exposed to the air, creating a health hazard and there is a sign on the utility door saying: "Don't close the door". Also, the wall was not sound-proof. The noise from the water heater and furnace kept people in the next room awake at night. This forced us to give up the room next to the utility room and squeeze its occupants in to other rooms. There were also cockroaches in the house and some items needed to be fixed. For example, the bathroom door of the master bedroom couldn't be shut(closed), the tissue holder was broken, the towel holder in the downstairs bathroom was broken, some of the mini blinds needed repair, etc. During our one week stay, there were not enough restroom tissue paper. We called the owner and she said whatever there is that is her offer. We need to buy it our own if there is not enough.
We're glad we're home now and we don't want to go back to this house again with this price and service.
Owners response: Your information are not accurate because the normal processing charge is 3% but given the volume of sale, we are given out of courtesy a discount rate which we pass on to customers which explains why you were refunded $11.22 but this was applied after your full payment was received and I could have not known that in advance. I did offer you the opportunity to withdraw your reservation and get full refund the moment you placed your dispute through and that's because we were able to find a buyer for your space but don't forget that your dispute came close to the time of your arrival and we did our best to try to provide you with alternative solutions even though we were not obligated to do so. The house was conveniently prepared for you and there is nothing that we advertise that we do not provide but you wanted us to have additional items which we never advertise and you were told that those items were the sole responsibility of the customers and that we only make those items available to you for a day or two to allow you settle and that include things like trash bags, soaps, and so forth. In addition, you were given the full address of the property prior to your purchase to google and research the area at your free will. The information pertaining to the property was disclosed to you and your questions answered to the best of our knowledge and we believe to have serviced you to the best of our knowledge as we always do with all our customers and your damage deposit was refunded in full. You and guests stayed for the length of your vacation and we responded to most of your calls and there was no major complaint for which we had to take action for. Mini blinds were not broken but slightly out of range and we have changed them multiple times We thank you and we stay tune to hear from you.

Great Vacation
Review submitted: September 14, 2012 Date of arrival: August 2, 2012
This is our review of the Grand-View Takoma Park/Hyattsville-MD which a friend living in the region of Maryland recommended to us. We were a total of 10 residents including 4 children age 2 to 14 coming from Dallas, Texas. We stayed at the property for 13 days from August 2 to August 14, 2012 during our visit in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. We truly appreciate the efforts that Ms. Odette took to help us commute to our various destinations, she was prompt in answering our questions, and she even called to check on us. The house exceeded our expectation, laundry detergent as well as other accessories such printer cartridge and papers were all provided to us; the house was clean and neat, and the things we were already available for our use. We liked the property because it made our commute easy and nearby were malls and restaurants provided that the property is located at the boundaries of 2 states *Washington DC and Maryland) and 2 Counties (Montgomery Cty and Prince George's County) . In the evening, we used to walk our children to the park and come back almost nigh time by feet, and we never felt unsafe. Actually, the next day upon our arrival, we had the privilege to be invited by the next door neighbor who had a picnic in honor of his birthday. We made up our mind and attended the event. We and the children had a good time and learn that he was Computer Network Engineer and his wife, an Educator who migrated to USA 28 years and were now naturalized US citizen. We basically had good time and we recommend the Grand-View property to many people visiting the area. We found the price affordable and we enjoyed the extra kitchen and both dining and living room on each floor..

unsafe neighborhood
Review submitted: August 10, 2012 Date of arrival: May 28, 2012
the neighborhood appeared unsafe and unkept. The houses across the street have bars on them. Trash in the neighbors yard, grass uncut, trash in the street. The house had an bad odor and appeared dirty. The airconditioner didnt work for the first 2 nights. the temperature in the house was 80 degrees, very uncomfortable. Would not recommend this house to anyone.
Owners response: This is in response to the client who posted a bad review. This client called to let me know that the A/C was not working and I told him that it functioned perfectly because I had Sears technicians for the maintenance service and cleaning of the ducts, registers, and coils 2 weeks prior to his arrival but he insisted for me to send a technician over who inspected the furnace and related equipment and wrote his report that the A/C worked great and at optimum but this customer had changed the settings causing it to run slow. Later on, the customer told me that he was happy with the A/C. He was told that $50 would be taken out of his damage deposit to cover the technician's transportation since there was no problem with the A/C; he then attempted to reverse the payment he made to me without success on website where he initially made his payment. We have sent him the remaining of his damage deposit in the amount of $200 but he claimed not to have received it and we too have not received the mail which had our return address and so we asked him to be patient while we work at resolving the issue; it is our policy for the customer to wait for the period of 30 days before issuing another refundable deposit check to the customer just in case if the first check could be delivered. The customer got mad and the threatened me to post a bad review against my business. How come he is one out of the hundred customers I have had over during the course of several years at the same property who is promoting a negative review against my property. I have very good reviews posted to show that this customer fabricated his story. We will refund his damage deposit after the period of 30 days if by then he has not received the check mailed to him.

weekend stay

I stayed here for the weekend with some friends and the house is more than a perfect place to stay. It is furnished beyond expected and spacious. Everyone that stayed was comfortable and Ms. Odette was more than willing to accomodate our needs and I told Christine that we will agree to stay here again. Thank you sooo much.

What a beautiful home.
Review submitted: April 14, 2011 Date of arrival: March 31, 2011
We came down with a very large group of people and had a very nice stay here. Having a printer hooked up to the computer was a life saver in regards to printing out directions and registration forms for our conference and such. The house is very nice and comfortable and convenient. The second kitchen was ideal for us since one of us was vending at the conference and needed the extra food storage space. We will definitely consider this house for future stays in the DC area.

Response from Maintenance Call
Review submitted: September 23, 2010 Date of arrival: July 6, 2010
I am Kent writing to testified on my interaction with Mr. Terry's Call on 7/3/2010. But let me begin by saying I am a long-time employee of the United States government and a Part-time Handyman/Plumber. I lived a couple blocks from the Vacation rental property and have worked for the owner as a contractor for several years. Ms. Odette is a particularly dedicated person both to her business and ministry. She is highly respected and appreciated in the neighborhood for taking care of youth and helping around. In regard to my interaction with her customer, I was called in to fix both the alarm system that went off even though it was to disarm and the battery that beeped; the handle inside was broken. I also checked the A/C that he complained about and found out that the new filter just put in was dirty. I told Ms. Odette that I believed that they were tempering with appliances because the default settings of the electronic A/C system were set off; she suggested that I remove the battery of the alarm until we could fix the broken handle to keep it for beeping but her customer turned offensive with words To avoid any confrontation that presume could go ugly; I left with the battery. Next day, she called to stop by her property after she received Mr. Terry's call. I found out that he had already left; she then asked me do a thorough workout of the house including testing all appliances; I spent about 40 minutes in the property doing just that and found no problems with the house; the house in good condition . Ms. Odette told me to look at the instruction she left on the coffee table and it clearly instruct customers on the use of appliances plus it states that there no customers' intervention required to set the alarm and that by default it is already set therefore the code is not available.

Owner's Response To Terry's Complaint
Review submitted: September 23, 2010 Date of arrival: July 5, 2010
House/Video avail. Space limited to post full report; ask for it by email. Terry is entitled to his opinion but it's legally & morally wrong to sabotage a credible business. His allegations are unfounded, & untrue. In working alarm/system. W/o code, he set it off w/ the battery beeping non-stop; broke the handle inside. His interaction w/ my Tech who's Hi-Tech Gov't staff + P/T Handyman/Plumber turned sour when he removed battery to keep him fr. breaking it further; it escalated to offensive words. The Tech then left. Next day, he called but had left. My Tech did a workout of the house & found all things working perfectly well. I interrogated my neighbors; they were outraged by his misrepresentation of their quiet neighborhood & unanimously stated that nothing that odious happened & if so why the police was not at the sight. They inferred that Terry cooked his stories based on his resentment & biases of them; so they want him to remove his false statements. My call to the police confirmed that no incidence was reported; I was told that our area of the town was quiet except for some fights by youth. Some neighbors were outside barbecuing & saw nothing suspicious but 2 boys age 10, playing around. W/ no evidence, a refund could not be issued but we made offers out of courtesy; he declined. We closed this case & moved on. Purchased brand-new in 2000, the house was fully renovated in 2009; furniture/ appliances are new. It is always clean; Linen /utensils washed for next customer. We take pride in caring for our guests by offering w/ prompt service. We want them happy & so our reputation stands; we go the extra mile to fulfill our promise to them. What makes the area attractive: space, privacy; tranquility; sharing a boundary between 2 States (MD&DC) & 2 Counties providing a unique advantage for commute w/ 3 subways nearby. Customers are entitled to full disclosure of the property: MapQuest; full address; appoint. visits; Terry failed to research on his preference's area but instead blame on us. This area is increasingly middle class w/ an outlook on cultural diversity + year-around festivities. My cleaning lady threw moth balls to avoid humidity but Terry alluded to mice repellent. MD State requires security/bars on deck-doors, his view is many burglaries. Due to false alarms to police charging us money each time, we disarmed device; still it works w/ sensor; so no intervention is needed; he failed to read the instruction posted and instead blame on us...

Great experience and service
Review submitted: September 23, 2010 Date of arrival: June 22, 2010
My husband and I often come to the Washington D.C area for business. This summer, we wanted to do something with other friends. We came as a group of 8people including 3 children. The house offered exactly what was stated on the website. We were very pleased with the service we received at the house. I know this review is overdue but I have to let people in on this great place in D.C. The house was clean, nicely decorated and offered a warm and cozy feeling for a family. The neighborhood is located at 5minutes from the metro. The drive to downtown D.C is only 20 minutes; which allowed us to visit many sites. The property is only 10minutes from another lovely city Silver Spring. It offered many nice restaurants, free summer concerts which we enjoyed. The house has a large backyard for children to play. It is summer ready with a grill, a patio you name it.
The alarm system was a great relief because it offered a sense of added security (the place is very safe). The house allowed my friends and I to have privacy because it is a duplex. It is a great house for families or even just a weekend getaway. I would recommend this property to anyone coming to Washington D.C.

Review submitted: September 22, 2010 Date of arrival: May 25, 2010
We were in Silver Spring for 5 nights, visiting from Orlando and the house really made the experience fantastic
I am pleased to recommend people to this vacation rental property because the house is beautiful and had most the things we expected to have; dinnerware, clean linen, and utensils were provided on the 2 floors including soap, detergents, toothpaste, cleaning products, paper towels, and so forth. I am glad we did not have to buy them. On our first impression of the area, we were pleased with the area and its surroundings because of the convenience it provided and also it seemed so quiet. We were at that property from May 25 to May 31, 2010 coming from Florida that I am from; we were a group of 9 including 4 children and 5 adults. We were very pleased with the nice house well maintained, comfortable, spacious, and neat. We rented the Grand-view model and we enjoyed both the comfort of this house provides and the tranquility around. The minor thing we did not like, the TV in the master bedroom operated manually and not with a remote control; we tried to read the manual to get the 2 remote controls to work but we were not able to. Ms. Odette told her that she was working on purchasing a new TV.
Overall, she and her staff were available and responsive and that alone made a big difference for us. We enjoyed cooking since we had 2 new kitchens available to us. This property exceeded my expectation in many ways; that's why I recommend it and rate it an excellent property. Keep up with the good work, MS. Odette!
I could not have asked for a better location.

Very nice house. Clean. Looks better than in the pictures. Nice bed and bathrooms.1 pc was out of order. Nice calm neighbourhood, nice neighbour. Location is a bit far from the city, with public transportation around 1/2 to 3/4 hour. Bus stop to Fort Totten about a 5 min walk. Good service from the home owner.

There's a reason this house is always available.
Review submitted: July 23, 2010 Date of arrival: July 2, 2010
Website forces me to abbreviate, so my post can't do justice to how bad this dump was.
Don't make the same mistake we did. Make sure you THOROUGHLY research and are familiar with the surrounding areas of Washington DC to know which areas are nice and safe. We failed to throughly research this and ended up staying in this crime-infested armpit. My wife and kids are still having nightmares about staying here.
We had a bad feeling on our way to the house as the GPS told us we were a mile away and there were pawn shops on every corner and safety bars on all the windows of every house and every business in the area. Highlights:
- Strong stench of mothballs and mouse repellent everywhere. Guess why?
- Most of the electronics in the house did not work. Only 1 TV in the house worked. The computer did not work. The security system did not work (and trust me...in this neighborhood, you want a security system). When I tried to set it, the alarm sounded and I couldn't turn it off. When I called to complain, she couldn't remember the code to turn it off. She told me it's not supposed to be used, despite the fact that this website advertises it as one of the house features.
- The air conditioning did not work. It was 99 degrees during the July 4th weekend so this was kind of a big deal. When I called to complain, she sent out a maintenance man. He was clueless. He played with a few buttons, told me the blower motor was working so everything was OK. I told him that was fine and dandy except for the fact that no cold air was coming out of the vents, he shrugged and left.
-But the biggest problem was how unsafe we felt while we were there. When we came home one evening, someone was in the back yard appearing to be trying to look into the windows, and he ran away when we pulled into the driveway. Then around 10pm one night, 2 cars pulled up in front of the house and 2 men got out and started walking around the back of the house. I think they were intending to visit the neighbors but, we had no idea what they were trying to do, so my kids paniced that someone was trying to break into the house. Finally around 3am that morning, we heard very loud fighting followed by a woman's screams from next door. Then heard 2 cars squeal tires leaving. My kids were too scared to sleep the rest of the night. Left the next morning - 1 day early. She refused to refund me the last day's rent.

Review Title : "Property#67343"
My Name is Kent, I am a Part-time Handyman/Plumber in addition to holding a full-time job. I lived a couple blocks from the vacation rental property and have performed minor repairs for the owner, Odette. Odette is a particularly dedicated person both to her business and ministry. She is highly respected and appreciated in the neighborhood for taking care of youth and helping around. In regard to my interaction with her customer, I was called in to check the alarm system that went off and battery continuously beeping even although it was supposed to be disarmed and only activated through the sensor; the hinges on the alarm door were broken. I then checked the A/C that he complained about and found that the new filter just put in was dirty. I told Odette that I believed that someone may have been tampering with appliances because the default settings of the electronic A/C system was set off; Ms. Odette requested that I remove the battery from the alarm and keep it with me until we could fix the broken handle to keep it from beeping. To avoid a possible obvious confrontation, I walked away. The next day, she called to ask me to stop by her property with her after she received a call from Terry. This is when I was informed that he had already left. Odette then asked me do a walk threw of the house and test the appliances; I spent about 40 minutes in the property doing just that found no problems with the house. Odette told me to look at the instruction she left on the coffee table and it clearly instruct customers on the use of appliances plus it states that there the customers' intervention is not required to set the alarm and that by default it is already set to work on the sensor therefore the code was not to be available but to call for assistance.

The Bruins made a few deals on deadline day, but couldn't improve up front.
Bruins complete trade with Panthers

NHL Deadline Day Open Thread... Stop by and talk trades on NHL Deadline Day
Bruins add defensemen Cody Wild and Steve Kampfer
'Twas the Night before Hockey Christmas: 2010 Edition...It's becoming a tradition
Will the Bruins make a deal when the Olympic roster freeze is lifted?
Bruins likely out of Kovalchuk sweepstakes.
You probably heard by now, but the Toronto Maple Leafs have shaken things up with a pair of blockbuster deals. First, the Leafs sent Niklas Hagman, Ian White, Matt Stajan, and Jamal Mayers to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Dion Phaneuf, Frederick Sjostrom, and Keith Aulie. GM Brian Burke wasn't done dealing just yet, though. About an hour after the first deal was announced, the Leafs sent Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Jean-Sebastien Giguere. So, all total the Leafs sent 6 players out of Toronto and got back 4 new faces. I'd say that is a major shake-up. It will be interesting to see how this will effect the value of the Toronto picks that the Bruins own as part of the Phil Kessel deal.
Could Bruin GM Peter Chiarelli be ready to pull the trigger on a deal?

West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin promoted to Government Assistant Whip
11:56am Sunday 9th February 2014 in News
WEST WORCESTERSHIRE MP Harriett Baldwin has been promoted to Government Assistant Whip in a mini-re-shuffle carried out yesterday (Saturday, February 8).
Prime Minister David Cameron offered Mrs Baldwin the post following the resignation of neighbouring MP Mark Harper from his role as Immigration Minister.
Mrs Baldwin said: "I'm honoured to be asked to join the Government as an Assistant Whip.
"Whips are responsible for ensuring the Government is able to get its legislation through and we have a full programme of business ensuring growth, jobs, deficit reduction, welfare reform, higher standards in education and skills and controlled immigration.
"Although I will no longer be able to speak in debates, I will still be able to champion causes for my constituents behind the scenes and in letters to Ministers."

Hunting And Fishing Show
Glen Jerrell with The WV Trophy Hunters explains, "This is the 26th year that we've held the show for the benefit of our exhibitors, hunting and fishing enthusiasts in the area, plus hunting, fishing and conservation organizations that benefit from our charitable donations."
And those donations add up, too...hundreds of thousands of dollars over the decades have gone to these groups.
"Each year the Trophy Hunters donates thousands of dollars to organizations that help fund wildlife projects, hunters education programs, and hunting and fishing projects throughout West Virginia. The Hunters Helping the Hungry is a great program that the DNR manages. The Archery in the Schools is a great program." says Jerrill.
You can get information on all these efforts at the West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show, and you can also pick up cool stuff you only see on the internet or on TV. The goal, of course, is to get outside and experience nature, and wildlife, for yourself. That's the Trophy Hunter's goal, too.
"Some of the DNR projects we help with include the bear management study, it's a very successful program that's gathered a lot of data for DNR biologists, so they can help manage the black bear population." says Jerrill.
Been there, done that...and while you might not be able to crawl in a bear den, you can head out into the woods of West Virginia and try to find a bear yourself. If you get a chance, stop by the show, find our booth and say hi.

3.9/5 rDev +2.9%
The head was thin on an intense dark color. The smell was greatly roasted, oscillating between coffee and chocolate. The taste showed coffee at first, but then I got more of an impression of cocoa. Some fruity notes of orange and cherry also appear, with an alcoholic character. This was actually fruitier than I expected, which I appreciated. The mouthfeel was round and full and quite interesting for a stout. The alcohol is not nearly as noticeable as it could be in a 10% beer: nice, and pretty drinkable.

Black color. Medium Head. Aroma is chocolate and coffee. Medium bodied Imperial Stout. Malts are choclately with a touch of coffee. Hops are drying and slightly spicy. This is really more of a dry stout than an imperial, the body is a little thinner and it finishes very dry. Smooth taste, with no touch of alcohol bite. Touches of wood and smoke at the finish, Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Sampled @ Strong Ale Fest San Diego
On the pour a pitch-black color with a massive chocolate brown head that was creamy in consistency and as it eroded a nice sheet of lace formed upon the glass. Nose is coffee, rich sweet chocolate; quite pleasing to the nose as well as the eye, front is rich chocolate sweet malt with the top full and rich. Finish is moderately acidic and the hops powerful but pleasing to the palate, bitter-sweet chocolate dry aftertaste, a nice drinking stout

Cat panicked by use of new broomThursday, September 26th, 2013
Q: Yesterday I bought a new broom (Swiffer type), and my cat freaked out while I was used it. She was hitting it, attacked it, and was hissing.
Later that night, she was acting the same way toward toys she's had for five months. Today when I came home, I had to bring her upstairs. She was very hesitant. Not wanting to be on the floor, and she was looking at it like something was there, and she was going to pounce but never did. She was on my bed and acted the same way (very sketchy, not wanted to be petted, held, etc.).
I have hidden all her toys, and am hoping she calms down. I am very concerned about her behavior, because it is very unlike her. Any ideas on what could be up?
A: What you are experiencing is fairly common. Cats are exceptional at generalizing a frightening experience to other situations. What I mean is that when a cat becomes completely panicked, sometimes it takes a couple of days for them to recover. For some, they generalize the fear and the physiologic panic through a process called classical conditioning, so they react to any stimulus that was present during the traumatic incident in the same way that they react to the stimulus itself. In other words, that traumatic incident may have really changed your cat. Hopefully, she will recover quickly, but some cats do not. Try the things below, and if they do not work within a couple of weeks, or she becomes aggressive toward you, seek professional help by going to www.dacvb.org.
1. Give your cat some space. Just as you need personal space when you are upset or angry, your cat needs the same right now. Giving her some cooling off time without approaching her, petting her or otherwise trying to interact with her will help her to recover more quickly. If she wants to lie on the bed without being touched by you, leave her alone. She should start to show improvement in about a week.
2. Give her back some toys that have not elicited the fear response. If she likes to play, she will recover more quickly if she has the opportunity to engage in that behavior.
3. Put the Swiffer away when your cat is in the room. In other words, put your cat in another room before you even open the closet where the Swiffer is. At this point, it is better not to let her see it at all.
