The above video is Steph the day AFTER running 18 miles performing glute ham raises at our satellite facility in Saxonville, MA. How bad ass is that?
All in all, Steph has never felt better (she's injury free) and she's a perfect example of what hard work and dedication can do. She works her tail off and always does it with a smile. She's totally going to dominate her time from last year.
Side Note: This year Steph is running in the spirit of things that her mother dedicated her life towards. She's raising money for the Boston Medical Center. You can visit her donation page here
Any help would be immensely appreciated.

America's Own Pet Terror Organization Gets a Very Special Treatment
Continued from previous page
That HuffPost responded to yesterday's pressure by removing the MeK post and citing its policy against publishing those "affliated with designated terrorist organizations" is valuable in the sense that it highlights the absurd travesty of "Terrorism" in U.S. politics. For legal purposes, at least, MeK is every bit the Terrorist organization that Al Qaeda is, yet they are now Our Terrorists, and are thus heralded and rewarded rather than scorned.
* * * * *
It was recently revealed that Clarence Page, the long-time Chicago Tribune columnist, was paid $20,000 to speak at this same MeK rally in Paris, along with travel expenses; once that was revealed, The Chicago Tribune reprimanded him and he announced that he would return the fee. It's just extraordinary how much cash is flying around and ending up in the pockets of prominent and influential Americans in order to shill for this Terror group.
On a different note, The Guardian's Iranian columnist, Saeed Kamali Dehghan, today details how sanctions against Iran are severely harming ordinary Iranians while doing little to undermine the government or its nuclear research program. The foreign policy analyst Reza H. Akbari points out the same thing here.
Finally, a new Pentagon report to Congress stresses, as the Federation of American Scientists put it, that "that while developing offensive capabilities, Iran's military posture is essentially defensive in character" – specifically, "Iran's military doctrine remains designed to slow an invasion; target its adversaries' economic, political, and military interests; and force a diplomatic solution to hostilities while avoiding any concessions that challenge its core interests." Let's repeat that: quite understandably, "Iran's military posture is essentially defensive in character."
UPDATE: In addition to Abedini, The Huffington Post has also repeatedly published Ali Safavi, who is also identified as "a member of Iran's Parliament in Exile, National Council of Resistance of Iran." Safavi has also used his HuffPost platform to propagate standard MeK propaganda, such as this piece entitled "Time to Act on Iran Regime" which demands that " the US must immediately delist the MEK" and argues that "delisting the MEK will strengthen the entire opposition in Iran, serving to suffocate Tehran's nuclear drive and expansionist agenda," and this one, entitled "Reality Check: Understanding the Mujahedin-e Khalq," that reads like a MeK press release. He appeared on CNN in 2003 as a NCRI representative and said that the MeK "of course is one of the five member organizations of the National Council of Resistance of Iran." Safavi formerly lived in London where he led the movement to have the MeK unbanned, and often appears at Congressional hearings advising pro-MeK members of Congress. He now heads a "think tank" in D.C., the Near East Policy Research, which is overtly pro-MeK.
In sum, if HuffPost intends to apply its ostensible policy of banning " people affiliated with designated terrorist organizations," it has a lot more work to do beyond deleting this single post from yesterday. That site has become a regular outpost of propaganda for the MeK Terror group. Just try to imagine if they were regularly publishing Al Qaeda or even Hamas and Hezbollah spokespeople: they'd be aggressively accused, perhaps even by the U.S. Government, of materially supporting Terrorists (a Staten Island man is still in federal prison for the "crime" of assisting and including a Hezbollah channel in the cable package he sold to customers). It would never be tolerated. Why should MeK be any different?
Glenn Greenwald is a constitutional law attorney and a regular contributor to Salon. He is the author of four books, most recently " With Liberty and Justice for Some: How the Law Is Used to Destroy Equality and Protect the Powerful ."

Syfy has ordered 26 more episodes of Haven for a split fifth season, the cable channel announced Tuesday. The first half of the season will air this fall, and the remaining 13 episodes will air in 2015.
Soon after news broke of the horrific December 14 elementary-school shootings in Newtown, Conn., the broadcast and cable networks scoured their schedules for anything that might be deemed offensive or inappropriate in light of the massacre."Caution carries the day," says one network executive. "You look up and down the schedule for shows and promos that might be uncomfortably close to the subject matter. Then you ask yourself, 'Are we being sensitive in a correct way or are we being overly careful?'"

Hey, ive ordered the wii grips from nintendo, but sadly that havent arrived. But i want to here your opinion about them. Are they comfortable? Does it protect the wiimote when dropped. Any flaws or weird things about them?
its pretty comfortable.. i prefer it other than my other wii gloves.. its softer nd it looks fat at da top but ull get used to it nd maybe later thank nintendo for making it so damn fat that it protected it when you "accidentally" threw the wiimote and hit a wall

Add us and other people who play 2vs2 as well from this thread:
Although I don't own any of the Nintendo Wii Grips, I do have Nyko Wii Grips that replace the Wiimote battery cover. Though they are not a full jacket, two of these grips come free with the Nyko Wiimote Charging Station, great for someone who has just purchased a wii!

Yea I just ordered mine. I ordered 3 when I only have 1 Wii Remote lol. But I hope they aren't annoying and I hope it doesn't make the sensory less accurate because that would really suck!

I think they're great ^^ they deffinatly dont interfere with gameplay or anything. and i was playing wii sports the other ay, behind me was a wall (what happens next? -.-) and kapow! i smack the remote against the wall, but thanks to the bouncy jacket it just kinda bounced off with no damage XD
They work perfectly. I purposely dropped my remote after I got the grips and it just bounced off the ground a little so I picked it back up and kept playing the wii
They are pretty sweet, really comfortable played in the 'horizontal position' like for virtual console games, as that chubby part provides a nice grip for ya left hand.
"If I had a dollar bill for everytime I was wrong, I'd be a self-made millionaire and I wouldn't be singing..."
I dont have any of those yet. Just got the wii charing station thing
They are great! I also ordered three but only need then for one remote. You can never have enough of them! :-)

Recent weeks have been very busy. Summer is a great time for outdoor activities.
Jim and I were sitting in the living room with the television turned on playing quietly to no one in particular. I was reading a book, and Jim was working on a word puzzle. At some point I realized that there was some music playing. I scoured the room to detect its origin, and being unsuccessful, I gave up the search.
Monday, June 23, was my Zoey day. Zoey was a little under the weather. Between getting shots for her first year check up and cutting teeth, she was running a slight fever and not feeling up to par. She didn't eat much.
The sun was hot, the weather beautiful, and our thoughts went to, you guessed it, time for a road trip. We called our friends, Di and Harvey Levin and said ,"Do you want to pack a bag and join us on a short trip out west?" They readily agreed and with a little preplanning we were off on another adventure.
Monday, June 16, rolled around and I was excited because I knew my granddaughter, Danielle, had taken the day off and she, Zoey and I could spend some time together.
I went to their house and we just enjoyed a quiet couple of hours playing with Zoey mostly on the front porch in the shade because it was hot out.

Pros: This thing is a beast.. Nuff said.
Cons: It's crashed on me once so far, and, I've only had it like two months.. This wouldn't be such a big deal if I were over-clocking it. ~ But, I'm not.. lol

This review is from: OCZ Vector Series VTR1-25SAT3-128G 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC
Pros: Lightning fast
Seems to be holding up well, after the first RMA; see cons
Not sure what else there's to say.. hehe
Cons: Had to RMA the first one, it stopped working after a week +/-
By stopped working, I mean it wouldn't hold data correctly.
On a side note, while the second one received seems to be working fine.. My computer is doing funny things. I know my way around a computer having built the one it went into, but, that doesn't make me an eggspert(pun intended). So, this may have nothing at all to do with the drive.
Other Thoughts: I'm thoroughly satisfied with the product, and, if the current one craps out on me I'll just get another one. I really like the speed of the technology :)READ FULL REVIEW

How do you know when to fix something vs. fire the person? Problems will always arise from time to time in our working relationships, the key is to make sure that you don't let them drag on too long. There is a strategy that I like to use when it comes to knowing if something is fixable or if it's time to let someone go…
(Is it just me or am I talking really fast in this video? LOL) Would love to hear your thoughts – be sure to post them here, k?

Originally published March 28, 2013
After my video last week I was asked a great question:
"Tina, I get that having a relationship is ideal when it comes to this stuff, but what if you are newer to your biz or don't have any relationships with potential affiliates yet?"
Here's my top 3 tips to approach a potential new affiliate or JV partner:
- Get to know the person first – if you send a generic request to someone asking them to "help promote your stuff and earn some money" I can pretty much guarantee it will be deleted.
You need to do some work upfront and get to know the person and their business BEFORE you approach them. Do your research, learn what they offer already and who their clients are and see where your stuff can help compliment what they are doing already. Look to see how you can solve a problem for THEM as well as their clients. ie: If someone is a marketing coach but they don't teach team building and yet their clients all struggle here, you could approach them to offer a team building program that could fill a need for their clients that they can't (or don't want to) fill themselves.
- Give them a sample of your program – how does the person know if your stuff is any good? If you don't have a relationship already the next best thing to establish credibility and trust is to give them a copy or sample of your stuff. This way they can see *exactly* what it is that you are offering and determine if it's something they can confidently recommend.
Now some people resist this because they don't want to give something away for free or fear that someone might steal their stuff and use it themselves. If you give away one sample of your product to someone who could potentially get you lots of sales then that's a great ROI in my opinion. Likewise, you can ask someone to sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) that prevents them from using your stuff outside of review purposes.
- Leverage a Relationship – do you know anyone who knows the person you want to reach out to? If yes, ask that person if they would be willing to introduce you or if they have any suggestions on the best way to reach out to that person. A connection via a mutual contact is a great way to establish credibility and make a connection.
- BONUS TIP: Make it BEYOND easy for them to promote – the worst thing you can do to a new affiliate is have them say yes and then you drop the ball. It is *essential* that you have your team and marketing resources 100% in place so that they can just "plug and play" on their end.
I'm amazed at how often people drop the ball here – and at the same time I get it because it takes work to setup your promotion materials, affilaite links and continue to communicate with all the parties. Make sure you have a person on your team who is dedicated to this and can make you look like the rockstar that you are.

First, I want to acknowledge that creating an SOP (Standard Operating & Procedures) guide is not the most exciting thing in the world, which is exactly why many businesses don't have one (or only have part of one). It isn't my ideal way to spend a day either, but it definitely needs to be done.
It's like exercise – at first it's not fun. You have to drag yourself out of bed early to make it to the gym when you really don't want to. But you do it anyway because you know the payoff is worth it. Although you may never love working out, you get to the point at which it becomes part of your day and it's no longer such a drag.
Documenting your processes to create your SOP guide are part of a healthy workout for your business. So here are 3 simple steps to get you on your way:
- Decide who needs to document the process. Whoever is doing the work is the best person to document the process. If you have been doing most of the work yourself to date, then it's you. If you have a VA (or two) who has been doing the work, get them to help (and yes, you pay them for this time). This requires a measure of discipline on both sides – you need to demand that they do it as part of their role, and they need to set aside the time to actually do it.
- When should you start? Now! The best way to create your SOP guide is "as you go." You and/or your team can start documenting things as they come up. Don't try to do it all at once and make it a big project. That's too stressful and it's not necessary. Aim for each person to complete at least a few each week.
- Decide on the best format. Your SOP guide needs to live online in a place that is accessible to everyone on the team so it's easy to update. We use the "wiki" feature in Central Desktop to manage our SOP guide. It can be written, audio, video, or a combination thereof. If you do choose audio or video, I do recommend having someone create a written checklist for easy referral (vs. always having to rewatch the video).
If you start today, in a few short weeks you will be well on your way to having an effective SOP guide in place and living happily in your virtual office for all to see.

Whether it is just you and a VA or you have a team of many – it is a good biz management practice to do a check-in with the team at least once a week.
Here is a list of the 4 questions that each person on the team needs to answer (including you!). I recommend having everyone post their answers to a team discussion board (like the one in Central Desktop) at the end of each week.
- What did I accomplish this week? – easy peasy, just share what you got done this week.
- What did I not accomplish and why? - if there was something on your plate that didn't get done, let the team know why (shifting priorities, didn't get what you needed from someone else, etc.).
- What do I want to accomplish next week? - share what is on your plate for the coming week.
- What I need to do so is… – you may have a question, or perhaps you need something from someone else before you can do your part.
Bam! Just that easy – and so very important for 3 reasons:
- You and the team get to celebrate! – it is easy to get so caught up in the craziness of our day and everything that we still have to do that sometimes we forget to celebrate what was accomplished. Doing this exercise allows you and the team to see how much was actually done each week.
- Keeping each other accountable - having each person on the team make a public declaration as to what they want to accomplish each week can really lend the extra "ooomph" that is needed to get stuff done. This goes for you too as the leader of your biz.
- Peace of mind for YOU – this is a biggie, and is especially important as your business grows. You need to be able to keep your finger on the pulse of what is going on each week in the business, and this weekly check-in provides a consistent update in that regard without your having to chase people down.
And it's worth noting that this can be used as a daily check-in as well if you run a super busy crew and/or if you are in the middle of a busy launch.

There are times when people want to work with me but I talk them out of it – say what?!! There are 3 reasons why I do this.

In my role I constantly receive feedback from folks on all sorts of things, but perhaps one of the most disheartening things I hear is when I'm approached by a support professional who says they feel unappreciated in their role.
I know that in the throes of a growing business and the two-stepping, double-time pace that that growth can require, the simple "thank you" can get lost in the shuffle. But those two words hold great power, and when that power is untapped and unused, the wealth behind them lays in waste.
I like to use the example of a new dating relationship to illustrate my point a little. In that beginning "courtship" phase, we're so quick to lavish our partner with compliments and praise on everything they do, but then over time we settle into routines and those once praise-worthy traits become the expected norm and we take each other for granted.
The same is true in our business relationships. When we first bring on a new team member and they're just rocking out everything they touch, we're quick to throw out lines like "I couldn't do this without your help" or "your contribution is vital to our success," etc., but then, just like in dating, over time we take our team members and their hard work for granted.
People want to know that they're doing good work for you. They need to hear those words of gratitude and appreciation. For some people, a word of thanks can mean more than any dollar amount they receive in their paychecks. I find this especially to be true with support professionals. The need to be told that the work they do is of value.
So stop right now in the midst of reading this blog and take a mental inventory of the last time you said thank you to your team… If you can't remember when that was, IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!
Pick up the phone, send an email, but get those "thank yous" out to your team, stat! Set yourself a reminder if need be. If you're pleased with what they're doing, make sure they know, and if money and circumstances permit, throw in something extra for them! It doesn't have to be grandiose, maybe a gift certificate to a spa day or maybe a restaurant certificate for them and their spouse, but tokens of appreciation are invaluable.
Of all the things that could get lost in the hustle and bustle of this business world we live in, don't let your gratitude for the team that serves and supports you be one of them!

How do you take your expertise, your services and the skills you provide and offer them in bigger and better ways? How can you continue to serve your clients and make more money without necessarily taking up more of YOUR time and energy?
To get the juices flowing in the right direction, I want to start with a simple exercise here. (Although, truth be told, sometimes the seemingly simplest exercises can prove to be the hardest ones for some of us.)
I want you to take a mental look at your business and I want you to kill off one of your revenue streams.
Yes, you read that right, I want you to kill off, pull the plug and discontinue at least 1 of the things you're currently offering right now.
Now before you hyperventilate, quit reading the remainder of the blog and go into panic mode at the thought of tampering with your revenue, let me explain why I want you to do this.
In order to grow and expand, sometimes we have to sever some things that aren't thriving as well as others.
Consider a gardener – in order for a rose bush to bloom and flourish, the dead and weaker branches must be pruned and removed. If this doesn't happen, the weak branches choke the life out of the healthy ones.
The same goes for your business. You need to prune off the services, programs, etc. that no longer serve you and no longer serve your clients.
You're likely familiar with the 80/20 Rule that says that 80% of your results are determined by 20% of your efforts. Or maybe 80% of your income is determined by 20% of your clients…and the principle can appear over and over in various business scenarios. I want you to write out a very specific list of all the services you offer within your business right now and how much money they have brought in over the past 12 months. We're working on creating your own 80/20 list
Now brace yourself for a surprise or two when you really look at what's generating what. Sometimes the things you thought were your big money makers may not be and vice versa. I know I've personally had a good enlightenment or two when I've made this list in my own business. With everything all written out, I want you to focus in on the 1-3 things at the bottom of your money-making list.
Nitty gritty decision time. You need to take an earnest look at those bottom revenue items and decide if it's really worth the time, effort and energy to continue offering them in the next year. Now you may have the scenario where one of your bottom items is a new launch and there hasn't really been time to get it off the ground, but you know in the next year it will be operating at maximum potential and the numbers will be there the next time you make this list. So leave that one alone for now. But on the whole, those low revenue items are going to warrant an "Eh…not really cutting it" response.
It's time to let go of the money-losing, and often headache-inducing revenue streams and make the space and energy you're going to want for the new stuff on your business' horizon.

Fiscal consolidation in Spain: dynamic interdependence of public spending and revenues
AbstractMeeting fiscal targets set out in the Stability and Growth Pact for EMU countries requires the correction of fiscal imbalances. We consider what is the most efficient strategy to achieve permanent reductions in fiscal defficits in Spain. We analyse the possible interdependence between expenditure and revenues by performing standard Granger causality tests. We find that there is a bias towards defficit in public sector size and long-run bidirectional causality between public revenues and expenditure, although the direction of causality seems to hold mainly from public expenditure to revenues. Achieving fiscal consolidation should be based reducing structural public expenditure. (Copyright: Fundación SEPI)

The Dershowitz dynasty
12/25/2009 11:01
The Dershowitz dynasty
Rabbi Yitzhak Dershowitz
, made aliya. It was the 40th anniversary of the aliya of
Rabbi Prof. Zecharia (Dershowitz) Dor-Shav
and family of Jerusalem. And it was the 120th anniversary of the immigration to the United States of the Zacharja and Lena Derschowitz family from Pilzno, Poland (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). The family can trace its history only as far back as the 1840s, when Yechezkiel and Chana Rivka, parents of Zacharja and his seven siblings, were born. Five of Yechezkiel's children immigrated to America some time between the 1880s-1890s. Zacharja and Lena and their seven children took an active part in establishing institutions that became the backbone of the growing Jewish presence in the United States. Among the most prominent institutions were Torah V'daath Yeshiva, Henry Street Settlement House and the Palestine Aid Society. The oldest members of the family present at the Jerusalem reunion were
Zacharia Dor-Shav
Shimon Bakon
of Jerusalem, who are fourth generation descendants of Yechezkiel and Chana Rivka. Members of the next four generations of the family, including one-month-old Adina Miller of Telz-Stone whose mother is
Brachi Steinberg-Fendel-Dershowitz-Miller
, also helped to fill the hall. In terms of religious identification, the family runs the gamut from haredi to secular. They engage in a large range of professions, and many of them are also writers. Among the most prolific are Prof. Alan Dershowitz, Rabbi Zecharia (Dershowitz) Fendel, Prof. Nachum Dershowitz, Dr. Shimon Bakon, Lili (Dershowitz) Eylon and Dr. Avi Shmidman. Some of their books and other publications were on display at the event. WHEN TRAGEDY struck 19-year-old bridegroom
Hanan Sand
on the night before his wedding six years ago, he was so grief stricken that relatives feared he would never recover from the shock. His bride, Naava Applebaum, and her father, Dr. David Applebaum, who had gone out for a father-daughter chat to Cafe Hillel on Emek Refaim, were killed by a suicide bomber. Naava's family subsequently had her wedding gown fashioned into a curtain for the ark at Rachel's Tomb, where many childless women go to pray. It was generally thought that because Sand was so young, time would heal his pain. But there had been such a strong bond between him and Naava that it took several years for him to even contemplate marrying anyone else. However, as an Orthodox young man, he realized that he had to get married and start a family. Last Saturday night he celebrated his engagement to
Pnina Assis
of Efrat in the presence of hundreds of guests, who included representatives of the Applebaum family. HOT ON the heels of Israel's pride in Nobel Prize laureate Jerusalem-born Prof. Ada Yonath comes pride in another scientist,
Dr. Tommy Kaplan
, a PhD graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem who is one of four young scientists in the world to be awarded the GE & Science Prize for Young Life Scientists. Kaplan won the prize for his essay "From DNA Sequence to Chromatin Dynamics: Computational Analysis of Transcriptional Regulation." The prize was created to recognize and reward outstanding PhD graduate students from around the world in their work in molecular biology. Initiated by GE Healthcare and Science/the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the prize seeks to foster visionary thought and research by supporting scientists at the beginning of their careers. Kaplan won the prize in the regional category of "all other countries." The other winners were from the US, Germany and Japan. Kaplan not only received his degree at the Hebrew University but has also been involved in teaching the combined BSc/MSc program in computer science and life sciences at the Hebrew University. He is currently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California. Married and the father of two sons, Kaplan plans to return to Israel to open a lab in computational biology, preferably in Jerusalem, where he grew up. IT APPEARS that some philanthropic foundations weathered the economic crisis and are still in a position to give generously. Among these is the Mandel Foundation headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, with a branch office in Jerusalem. The Mandel Foundation has made a $12 million grant to the Israel Museum earmarked for the renewal and enhancement of the wing for Jewish art and culture. The wing will be renamed the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Wing. While every contribution to the museum's $100 million renewal project is significant, this one is particularly so because the Mandel Foundation, which is a long-time contributor to the Hebrew University, does not consider requests for grants or scholarships and supports only those programs that are established at its own initiative. Last month the Israel Museum announced the establishment of the Shpilman International Prize for Excellence in Photography, made possible by a $1 million endowment by the Shpilman Art and Culture Foundation. The biennial prize of $45,000, to be awarded for the first time in the summer of 2010, will be one of the highlights of the reopening of the whole museum. Several wings were closed during reconstruction. The renewal countdown is just over 200 days. The Shpilman Foundation is headed by Tel Aviv-based businessman and philanthropist
Shalom Shpilman
. AFTER YEARS of frustration in its attempts to obtain permission to construct an elevator in its building, the committee of the Hanassi synagogue in Rehavia finally got approval and found its way out of the bureaucratic morass. Work on the project began last Sunday. The congregation's president
Moshe Loshinsky
, who is a former city engineer of New York and also worked for the Jerusalem Municipality and knows a thing or two about elevators, was probably more frustrated than other congregants because as a professional, he was aware of the bureaucratic red tape. The elevator is not a luxury but a necessity, as many of the congregants have reached an advanced age and find it difficult to climb the stairs. Rather than allow its attendance to dwindle for this reason, the congregation at its annual general meeting voted in favor of the project, despite the cost which is well in excess of $100,000. The elevator will accommodate eight people at a time and will enable wheelchair access to the men's and women's sections. The AGM voted to use the accumulated synagogue funds to pay for the elevator so that members would not have to dig into their pockets. This will drastically deplete the synagogue's funds. Realizing the seriousness of this, one of the leading members announced that he would donate $25,000 on a matching basis.

Prospector Square Condo Rental Photos and Description
New Owners looking forward to sharing our vacation spot!
Our penthouse condo was renovated a few years ago and includes all modern appliances and granite-top counters. It has breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the slopes of Park City Ski Resort. From the oil-rubbed bronze hardware to the soft cotton towels, you will be thrilled with the warm atmosphere of the modern-rustic interior. There's even a private, two-person spa located in the unit. The large deck is equipped with a nice table and chairs to take in the awesome views. This is a much better alternative to a hotel room.
This is a Sundance Film Festival venue centrally located between Park City Ski Resort, The Canyons, and Deer Valley. Just a few steps from the front door, you can catch the free bus to all these resorts, Main Street, cinemas, shops, and the grocery store. Although you don't need a car, this unit comes with ample parking spaces for three cars.
The condo is within walking distance to 20 great restaurants and Silver Mountain Health Club is only steps away for those who wish to keep up with their work-out routines, swim in their huge outdoor pool (with large, water park sized slide) or take in a massage.
The rail trail is also accessible from our parking lot for the bike enthusiasts with Park City the world's first ever-gold level ride center by International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) and named in 2013 as one of the top 10 places to live in Outside magazine. Come check out our condo and Park City!!!
In addition, the amenities of this complex also include a heated outdoor pool (summer only), a family sized co-ed whirlpool and a convention center conveniently located next to the reception 200 yards away.
You will not be disappointed in the amenities and value of this strictly a NON-SMOKING luxurious property.
We are new owners and were unable to continue with the original VRBO condo listing, theses are GREAT REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS OWNER'S LISTING:
Great location and very spacious!
Guest Jeff (NJ)
Date of stay 02/21/13
Review Submitted 02/28/13
'We had a great time, the accommodations were very spacious and spotless when we arrived. The bedrooms are very large and can accommodate 8 people comfortably (we only had 4 and had a ton of space). I would definitely recommend this condo and will be staying here again.'
it was great!'
Guest T (Chicago)
Date of stay 02/09/11
Review Submitted 02/28/11
'it was great, condo is large, and had more than enough room to our group (6). it would fit more people there for sure. location was close to everything plus the free buses stop right on front of the place. nothing else to say other than... it was excellent and once we are back in town it will be the same place.'
Family trip to park city
Guest Derek O. (Longmont, Colorado)
Date of stay 07/21/13
Review Submitted 08/06/13
'Our family stayed at this property during a Triple Crown baseball tournament in Park City. The condo had nice upgrades and plenty of room for our family of six to relax. The location was great for the varied Park City activities.'
Young 20 somethings
Guest Park City Convert (United States)
Date of stay 03/06/13
Review Submitted 03/26/13
'My buddies and I found this joint in a pinch. The renter made the process easy and even included an extra night for some of us due to scheduling conflicts that put 2 of us in the city a night before we were signed on to the lease, and made sure that the previous renter's mess as cleaned.
The condo itself is very spacious and fit the 6 of us comfortably, to say the least. There was plenty of room for others to join us if that had ended up being a necessity. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean, balcony has a great view. Couch kept everyone cozy after the long days of skiing, neighbors were not too noisy. The building itself is not even 10 minutes from the slopes by shuttle (which arrives on time) and the bus stop is right at the entrance to the complex (be sure to get to the bus on time because if they're pulling away they won't let you on, coming from a guy who was 10 seconds late).
Other amenities worth noting, quick walk to the hot tub, it wasn't crowded. There's a workout facility that you can get easy access to. Great kitchen, good water pressure in the showers, plenty of towels, space to store skis, boot space, great heating / AC, big whirlpool bathtub if that's your thing, and some shops / restaurants right down the street. Otherwise you're right in a neighborhood with a bunch of locals and surrounded by some foot hills with mountains in the background.
Quick ride over to the main street area too if you're looking to explore the night life which we thoroughly enjoyed. Great bar scene, it was a crowd for all ages which you don't get everywhere, and the main street itself has a bunch of restaurants and knick knack shops to explore.
My only request to the owner is to fix that drawer with the knives! It almost put an end to my weekend on the 1st night.
Other than my knife freight, this place is great. Would stay again, and even purchase a unit in that same complex.'
OWNER: Knife Drawer IS FIXED!!
Excellent Place, Excellent Vibes
Guest Mike D.
Date of stay 03/07/13
Review Submitted 03/25/13
'I recently stayed at this location during the second weekend and march and have nothing but good things to say about it. Not only was it a step from the shuttle (which came regularly and one time, every time) but the place itself was a pleasure to come home from the slopes too. The couch was comfortable, there was ample room for stretching and hanging out, and the beds were like fluffy pillows waiting to accept our tired out, content bodies. It even had a porch that looked out to the mountains and the surrounding town.'
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- wheelchair inaccessible
- pets not allowed
Greg and Jessica
Greg is an avid snowboarder and enjoys mountain biking and Jessica is an avid mountain biker who enjoys skiing. With Park City offering three ski resorts and great summertime MTB riding, we have balanced it in a beautiful and easily accessible place!
Thanks for looking at our listing and please contact us with any questions. We would love to share our little piece of 'vacation'!
We'll do everything we can to make your stay comfortable. We know travelling is not easy and we're sure that you'll appreciate just showing up, throwing the bags in the closet, relaxing and getting ready to hit the slopes.
It is in the best location for a family vacation in Park City. There is a bus stop outside the condo on the free bus network and it is also close to many great restaurants. You could stay closer to Main Street, but that comes along with a lot of traffic and crowds. This Condo is also close to the three ski resorts, but really feels like you're outside of the town because it faces the mountain reserve and has direct access to the rail trail that passes right beside the complex. There is also plenty of parking.
Our unit is large enough to handle a good size family or multiple couples with all the updated features you'll need. It has a deck with great views and also includes a lovely private two-person spa that is accessible to everyone in the unit. For those who enjoy cooking, the kitchen is lovely.

COPD Health Center
Vitamin E May Lower Women's Lung Disease Risk
Vitamin E and Men's COPD Risk continued...
She and her colleagues looked at data from the SELECT Trial (Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial), originally set up to look at the effects of those supplements on cancer.
More than 35,000 men participated, and their median age was 62.4 (half younger, half older). Some of the men took 400 IU of vitamin E a day, with or without 200 micrograms a day of selenium, and were compared to those taking placebo. They were followed for four to more than seven years.
Neither selenium nor vitamin E, alone or in combination, made a difference in preventing COPD, the researchers found, compared to placebo.
Vitamin E and the Gender Difference
Exactly why vitamin E reduced the COPD risk in women but not men is not known.
But Agler suggests that it might be related to the fact that cells in the lung are believed to take up vitamin E preferentially from HDL or "good" cholesterol" -- and that ''women tend to have higher HDL than men."
Vitamin E and COPD: Second Opinion
The COPD risk reduction of 10% found in women is termed "slight" by Chris Slatore, MD, an assistant professor of pulmonology at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and the Portland VA Medical Center and an investigator at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. He was not involved in either study but reviewed the findings for WebMD.
Still, he says, the reduction is worthwhile enough to pursue the research.
In his own research, he has found that increasing vitamin E is associated with a slightly increased risk of lung cancer. "There might be a risk of vitamin E for lung cancer, and we definitely did not see a benefit as far as protecting from lung cancer," he says.
The results from the new women's study on vitamin E, he says, "wouldn't convince me that vitamin E reduces the risk of COPD enough to take it."
Vitamin E: How Much Is Enough?
For people aged 14 and older, the Recommended Dietary Allowance of RDA is 22.4 IU, with 1,500 IU a day considered a maximum safe level.
Nuts, seeds, vegetable oils, and green leafy vegetables are sources of vitamin E.
Besides acting as an antioxidant, vitamin E is involved in immune system functioning and signaling between cells and other processes in the body.

3 night stayPosted Jul 2, 2014
Pros: Good clean room with large balcony and truly brilliant views over the Amalfi coast. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Cons: Signposting to the entrance. Hotel is at top of a hill with no road up. You need to go in thru' road to another hotel and take llift/funicular up
Location: Just off coast road through Maiori. Local twon is nice as a base. Trips by cab to nearby, Amamfi, Ravello etc are expensive but worthwhile
Very happy with the hotel, staff and location. Exceptional views and quality of room and service. Nice swimming pool. Only negative is trouble finding it. Hotel Botanico is halfway up a cliff with no road up. You need to go in through a road to another hotel (Pietra Di Luna) round the back of it and then take llift/funicular up to a further set of steps to get to reception. Havingsaid that any trouble finding it pales into insignifigance when compared to all the positives. I highly recommend this hotel
for Everyoneby Pradeep from London
Superb servicePosted May 20, 2014
Cons: Directions to get to the hotel need to be made available to expedia bookings. The shower in room 204 doesnt work very well.
Great views, small but comfortable rooms, outstanding service.

Excellent Hotel for luxury breakPosted Nov 3, 2013
Pros: excellent breakfasts and very friendly service. swimming pool also lovely.
Location: Great bus service to Amalfi or Salerno - boats also available weather permitting. Lovely walks along the coast and into the hills/mountains.
We had a fabuluous holiday in this hotel. The staff are really helpful - especially the breakfast team who helped make our stay a really wonderful experience. The surroumdings are beautiful, infinity pool the most relaxing experience and the location is ideal for exploring the whole Amalfi coast. We would thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent hotel & locationPosted Jul 22, 2013
Pros: The staff - the gorgeous view and the breakfast
Perfect location to relax and enjoy the best Maiori / Amalfi coast has to offer. The staff were super friendly and always approachable. Also as everyone have already mentioned the breakfast was great. One of the few places/hotels that I would gladly return to.
for Everyoneby Andrea from Boston, MA
Lovely lovely relaxing stay!Posted Apr 22, 2013
Pros: The balcony, the staff, the robes and slippers and the breakfast!
Cons: the steps up, but they are building an elevator
Location: Maiori is a small town right on the sandy beach that has access to boats and busses to Amalfi, Positano and Capri. Really a great escape!
This was our second stay here. Everything was as lovely as we remembered. Room was prefectly clean with large fluffy towels, robes and slippers. Large balcony overlooking the water and town. Huge breakfast buffet had lots of cheeses, grilled vegetables, fresh eggs made to order,and also delicious sweets. Amazing views. This hotel is getting an elevator this summer! The staff is really friendly and kind. We asked for a tour of the other rooms, and wow, all the rooms we saw had the amazing water views, balconies, unique tiles, pretty color schemes. My fiancee went for a swim (April!) in the infinity pool while I lounged. Certainly a first class property. This town is a break from the touristy noise of the other Amalfi towns.
for Everyoneby SJG from London, UK
Lovely hotel but with some reservationsPosted Sep 14, 2012
Pros: Location, quiet, cleanliness, decor, beautiful gardens
Cons: Inexperienced waiting staff
Location: The hotel is in the beautiful village of Maoiri, up 210 steps. A fairly quiet resort frequented by many Italians and not over touristy.
This is a very pleasant, quiet, beautifully decorated, spotless hotel in a lovely location (up 210 steps) but I am not sure it warrants the 5 stars it professes to be. We did not eat dinner in the hotel as it is expensive and the food for breakfast was varied but the same uneaten cakes seemed to reappear for several days. Also a cooked breakfast is available but there is no menu and what you are offered depends on who serves you. Drinks are offered at the swimming pool but on a rather adhoc basis. Most of the staff try their utmost to please but there seems to be an overall lack of management supervision and direction particularly with regard to some of the restaurant staff who are young and inexperienced. However when we complained about the restaurant service and issues with the tap in our room which the hotel failed to repair after several requests the manager was most upset and upgraded our room and could not have done more for us. The owner owns a restaurant and hotel in the town and spends most of his time there - I think the hotel would benefit from him being around more.

Beautiful property with many thoughtful detailsPosted Aug 3, 2012
We had the most amazing stay here. The room was superbly clean, linen sheets, large fluffy towels, Frette robes, flat screen TV with Sky satelite, WIFI and a large balcony with water views. The service was very polite, the outdoor patio with views was amazing at breakfast and in the evenings for cocktails. The infinity pool overlooked the water and had large towels, lovely white chairs and cocktail service. Finally, we ordered massages on our balcony, what a treat. You really should take advantage of this on your first morning and relax your way into vacation, you will not regret it. The therapist brought in the table and did a great job. The only downside to this property was the inital walk up from the main street, but they had guys to carry our luggage and after the first time, it seemed shorter and like a nice way to close out the day. In addition, we had our small dog with us and they were very kind to him, which goes a long way in our book. 100% we would recommend this hotel and plan to return.

Senior PGA caddie opportunity benefits Boys & Girls Club of Benton Harbor
May 22, 2014
By Phil Stambaugh, PGA TOUR Staff
BENTON HARBOR, Mich.- One of the beauties of the game of golf is the bond that can be created between player and caddie. In many cases, it can meld into a friendship that lasts a lifetime or sometimes it's just a brief partnership that can have a lasting effect on the life of one or the other.
This week at the Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid, Roger Chapman, the man who held the Wannamaker Trophy high at Harbor Shores in 2012, gave Christopher Rederstorf, a U.S. Air Force veteran, a are opportunity to experience what it's like, up close and personal, inside the ropes during a practice round in preparation for this year's championship. It proved to be an experience he will not soon forget.
Rederstorf was afforded the chance to become a looper for the Englishman after a late cancellation opened up the opportunity. It was Chapman who originally proposed the idea to Jeff Fettig, the chairman and CEO of Whirlpool Corporation, while in Benton Harbor to do a corporate outing for KitchenAid last August, benefiting the local Boys & Girls Club.
After $8,000 was raised in a silent auction, Fettig added an extra $2,000 for the Boys & Girls Club. But when the high bidder had one of his children become sick, he relinquished the spot back to Fettig and he in turn, contacted Jeff Hinz, the championship director who in turn, contacted the Michigan PGA Section who has a relationship with the VA Hospital in Battle Creek. Rederstorf, now an employee of the hospital was eventually asked if he had any interest and he quickly accepted.
Rederstorf is a golf enthusiast who tried to play as much as possible while he was stationed in Okinawa, Japan from 2004-2008. He was deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom from January to May in 2006 as part of a civil engineering unit. He now works at the VA Hospital in his hometown.
"It was kinda cool to see the world of a professional from so close," Rederstorf said afterward. "Not many get the chance to do what I did today. They have their routine down pat and they calculate every shot. It's definitely different than playing all the time with my amateur friends."
"I think he enjoyed it. I think for military, personally, we don't do enough. I know that's the case back in the U.K.," Chapman said. "It's nice to do something for these guys and give them a bit of a spur."

A great place to do business. Helpful smiling people, all the brew stuff you'd need and all the patience in the world. I have done both mail order and in-store shopping with them and had positive expereinces both times. I have never gotten any old or stale ingredients there and the prices are about as low as they get.

I dont know what these other reviewers saw but my experience was considerably different. The product availibility (grain & extract) was OK at best. Hardware products seemed to assume all clients brewed in their kitchen & only needed the basics. The prices were not competitive. They were indicative of a business with no competition locally. The assistance offered didn't exist & the older "gentleman?" was even rude @ times. He acted like he was being bothered. This review is based upon several visits & not just one. I spent several hundred dollars & would have spent more had the experience been pleasant. I will go elsewhere when possible because I live here.

The Home Brewery is the only homebrew shop in Fayetteville and it fills its niche very well. They have winemaking products, but I have only purchased homebrewing products so that is what this review addresses.
Quality: All of the products I've purchased from THB have been great. It is really nice to find high quality ingredients locally rather than online.
Service: The guys that work there are very knowledgeable and all have a lot of experience in brewing. They will gladly help you with anything you need and won't hesitate to offer their opinions. I've even called them with specific questions during the brewing process which they knew the answers to from experience. Unfortunately, THB's hours aren't so good. I'm in school or at work most of the day and sometimes it's hard to make it over there before they close at 4 during the week.
Selection: They have most of what you will need for brewing beer including equipment, ingredients, and reference materials. They have a great selection of 5 gallon batch beer kits which range from a traditional hefeweizen to barley wine. If you're not using one of the ingredient kits, they have a decent selection of grains, extracts, hops, yeasts, flavoring agents, etc.
Overall THB is great for novice and experienced brewers alike and will most likely have everything you need.

Went in there for the first time just to pick up some simple bottling stuff; caps, hand-capper, and some corn sugar (dextrose).
Great service, very friendly. Hah, they made my girlfriend take all the freebie pens that were pink... said they had a hard time getting rid of 'em apparently.
Next time I upgrade my brewing equipment i'm gonna go through them instead of online places, as I love supporting local shops!
One con about the place is that when more than 2 or 3 shoppers in there it can get cramped due to their lack of space. Not a big deal, but maybe as the homebrew scene in NWA gets bigger they can expand!

I love this store. I live right by it so it is convineinet and they always have what I need to get my brews going that day. If you are in the area I highly recommend it. They are always getting in fresh stuff and if you are a member of the hombrew club FLOPS you will get 5% off of your purchase. These guys are great. They even have a great website. They also know what they are doing so if you are tying to put a recipe together they can help you. Thier hours aren't so great so if you work the only time you can get in there is at lunch or on Saturday.
