For me, this is definitely one of the best foundations at the drugstore. I have clear skin now, but since I had a lot of acne in my younger years, I have a lot of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which shows up as red "scars" on my cheek area. This covers up all my redness and imperfections like a dream, and stays put all day without caking up or looking heavy. For context, I have skin that is normal to dry, but I've heard others say this is good for oily skin as well. I can wear this for a full 8+ hour work day and not worry it will budge or sweat off... highly recommend to others that prefer a medium to full coverage foundation!
This foundation is surprising, but great! I moisturize, then use a moistened foundation sponge and blend it in well. Since I have combo/oily skin, I do use a little CG Smoothers powder on top of it. It has such a nice appearance - very natural, not cakey, doesn't emphasize fine lines. For me, it provides light to medium coverage, depending on how much I apply, and no need for concealer. I only have to slightly powder my T-zone halfway thru the workday, but I've had to do that with high-end brands as well. It gives me an even tone and a nice glow! And it lasts all day until I cleanse my face at night. I love the pump and the fact it locks in place. No leaks or drips in my suitcase! I think this foundation is a fantastic value! For me, it performs better than high-end brands I've tried, for a much better price. I'm done searching for the perfect foundation - this is it!
I have oily skin and this leaves my skin feeling the least bit oily with coverage compared to anything I have used before.
This is a wonderful foundation!!! I tested it out by applying a thin layer of primer to one side of my face beforehand to see if it made a difference. The foundation is creamy and pigmented that spreads very easily on the skin. Half a pump should be enough to cover your entire face. One layer gives medium-fuller coverage depending on your skin and if you have redness or acne scarring. I put a tad more on problem areas and it does an amazing job at covering it. The side of my face with primer blended easier than the other side but not enough that it was an issue.
The finish literally gives you a flawless look. Does not smell weird, leaves no residue or oily look after hours of wear, and so far has not oxidized. Nice little pump for application and can be used with a brush or beauty blender. This is such a fantastic foundation for a drugstore brand and one that I will be wearing for years to come.

Obsessed with this. I have CRAZY oily skin and this is the only foundation (drugstore and high end) that keeps my face matte the longest. It also has great coverage and has never broken me out before. If you have acne/oily skin this is a must have.

I have found my new favorite foundation. I've always loved revlon colorstay foundation but recently I've been breaking out on it. I used this for first time this week amd i love the finish. satin-matte is perfect comparison. I love the color selection, i found a color spot on to my skin tone (very hard since I'm like a olive to light medium skin tone). You do have to apply it fast but its rhe same for revlon. It blends beautifully with my buffer brush from elf and my beauty blender. I love the pump applicator. I also don't feel like I use as much foundation to get medium to full coverage like I usually do with cs. I didn't think I would like this foundation as much but it didn't settle into my creases. It lasted all day for me from 630 am till 630 pm with no primer or powder on top. I didn't even feel the need to add powder. I just used ky nyx dewey finish spray and it looked flawless. Definitely hope they don't change the formula! also no oxidation and it doesn't feel to heavy. Also liked i didn't see much color transfer on my phone. My new favorite foundation! My skin is also pretty dry on the cheeks and nose but can get oily on t zone. It didn't enhance these flaws and kept them under control.
Nice matin (satin matte) finish that lasted all day on my oily/combo skin. It creased a little on the sides of my nose, but I haven't found one that doesn't. I could't find a great color match for MAC F&B C2. Buff beige was close but too peachy and it got more so throughout the day.
I bought this for $8 at Target and have been using this daily for about 4 1/2 months. I LOVE this foundation! I have extremely oily, acne prone skin and needed something that wouldn't break me out or make my face shiny. I have hyperpigmentation and some acne all over my cheeks(and the rest of my face, but it's not that big of a deal) and this covers most of it in one layer. It is definitely full coverage, but you can layer it and it doesn't feel heavy or greasy on my skin and it hasn't broken me out either. I use Rimmel's Stay Matte powder on top of this and it doesn't wear off after a day at school. When you get to the bottom, there is quite a bit product left over that the pump doesn't reach, so I use the back of a thin brush to get it out. I do still get pretty oily after a few hours, but my skin is ridiculously oily so it shouldn't be a problem for most people.
Overall, I would definitely repurchase this and I recommend it to anyone looking for a full coverage foundation without spending too much money :)

If you don't like this, TRY USING A DAMP BEAUTY BLENDER!!!!! I have all sorts of brushes from high end to drug store and I find that the BB is the best tool to use.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this, it's my favourite foundation tied with Revlon Colorstay. It has great coverage, great staying power, doesn't oxidize and blends into the skin nicely without looking cakey. The packaging is great, it comes with a pump which makes using the product much more sanitary. I would defintitely recommend this to anyone with normal/combo/oily skin. Dry skin mightn't like it too much. I have repurchased this about 4 times, I love it.

That same year, Futch founded techno-punk band Crazed Bunnyz with synth-bassist Marc "Gadget" Plainguet and vocalist Sean "Shaka" Harrison. The trio grew popular in the international underground CCM college radio scene and have remained a fan favorite long after disbanding in 1988. Since then, Futch has enjoyed a diverse and prolific career spanning music, theater and video.
working closely with producers of the hit NBC series "Quantum Leap"
while shooting a documentary in 1992, Futch left his
1999, Mohave was born. The
The exploration of an American experience through Mohave led Futch towards the national folk music scene in 2006 where he has become a popular touring solo performer, headlining at venues and festivals across the country. Futch's shows are always engaging affairs as he connects right away with an audience and then takes them on a musical theme park ride through a variety of sounds, styles and showpieces. Sometimes purely acoustic and other times surrounded with an astonishing array of technology, he's a one-man juke box filled with traditional and modern music, including his distinctive originals and inventive arrangements of both classic and progressive hits. Voice, Appalachian mountain dulcimer and Native American flute form the foundation for these oft-times marathon concerts with supporting percussion brought in for special performances. It's a wild, funny, moving journey in music that comes from the heart.
In just the past several years that Futch has appeared on the folk scene here in the states, he's opened for Grammy-award nominated artists Sam & Ruby, bluesman Scott Ainslie, singer/songwriter Larry Mangum, shared the stage with Zydeco king Chubby Carrier, Tom Constanten (The Grateful Dead), national fingerstyle guitar champion Michael Chapdelaine and Grammy-award nominated act The Dixie-Beeliners among others. He's also produced numerous recordings and has published several songbooks.
Alongside his performing career, Futch has become a popular instructor of the mountain dulcimer and Native American flute. His video podcast, Dulcimerica, has been viewed by over a million people worldwide and is currently in its seventh season.

His energetic playing style, and unique approach to this ancient instrument are also evident in his six self-produced CDs which are available on iTunes and through www.danlandrum.com.
Dan and his wife, Angie, took over as editors and publishers of Dulcimer Players News (from Dulci-More Festival favorite, Madeline MacNeil) about two years ago. They have continued the tradition of the magazine while adding many new features like the CD that accompanies each month's issue.

"I work with them several times a year and always wish it was more." said Canadian songwriter Garnet Rogers, who also produced their landmark recording The Wind and the Crickets.

While both Tamulevich and Hough are grounded in the early traditional 60s folk music boom, they also were influenced by the songwriters of that time, and their shows represent an eclectic blend of music, old and new, with a big dash of storytelling. "We have never performed the same show twice," says Tamulevich, "Each night is its own unique moment, unique audience. For us, that is the exciting thing, the magic: to craft a shared experience and leave people entertained and moved…and with moments and songs they will take away with them and remember, ponder, rediscover; hopefully for years to come." Many of those moments are the result of their well-respected and broad body of original material, written both individually and together. "We take our writing very seriously." says Tamulevich, "No matter if it is a serious or humorous song. A song is a tool to communicate a feeling or a story, and we want it to be as sharp and finely focused as we can make it. It is a challenge that we happily embrace. Each song is a unique puzzle, and it is fun to see where it can and does take you as you write it. Michael and I are both very different people and writers; having different strengths, and that diversity, when we can get it right, can make a song a whole lot richer and more effective. It is a very rewarding process."
Those memorable songs have been a hallmark of Mustard's Retreat from the first. The spooky, Mallon's Bridge, that tells the story of a haunted bridge in Ireland and the midnight encounter that takes place there, has been a staple of Folk radio on Halloween since it first came out in the early 1980s. There's A Dance Tonight celebrates love and community , the poignant Part of Me Remembers, the humorous Michigan Mosquitoes, the anthemic ( Ours is a) Simple Faith and Gather the Family…to the insightful and powerful Pay the Toll….all and more have received extensive airplay and many have been covered by other singers.
"And it is still new, fresh, exciting….and fun" concludes Tamulevich. "We still really enjoy all of this: the writing and the performing. Audiences let us know that they enjoy it as well. They have taken our music and made it a part of their lives: that is the ultimate compliment, and as long as they want to see us, we plan to keep performing."

Stephen Seifert's teaching and playing has made him a favorite with dulcimer players all over the country since 1991. In that time, he's been a featured performer at hundreds of dulcimer festivals and other music events including Kentucky Music Week in Bardstown, KY, Dulcimerville in Black Mountain, NC, the Augusta Heritage Center in Elkins, WV, the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC, the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, AR, Stringalong near Milwaukee, WI, the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS and The tono American Music Festival, in Tono, Japan.
has been a dulcimer soloist with the Nashville Chamber Orchestra, now know as
Orchestra Nashville, since 1996 and is featured on their Warner Classical
recording of Connie Ellisor and David Schnaufer's Blackberry Winter, a concerto

Stephen was Adjunct Instructor of Mountain Dulcimer with David Schnaufer at Vanderbilt's Blair School of Music from 1997 to 2001. He also taught, performed, and recorded with Mr. Schnaufer as a duo throughout the country. Stephen has authored ten books, four CDs, and 16 instructional videos.
Most recently, he has been teaching hundreds of students around the world via http://dulcimerschool.com.
Mark Wade was with us previously for Dulci-More Festivals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 15.
Mark Alan Wade is an avid hammered dulcimer performer, composer and teacher. A National Hammered Dulcimer Champion, he can be heard on more than a dozen recordings and is a columnist for the Dulcimer Players News journal. An active private teacher, Mark's students include the 2004, 2007 and 2012 USA National Hammered Dulcimer Champions. Mark has also published four instructional books with Mel Bay, Inc.
Mark was a student, his trumpet playing was his gateway into music schools,
since the American dulcimer was not a standard conservatory instrument. His
exceptional trumpeting allowed him to expand his musical limits throughout
academia, which culminated in his Doctorate of Musical Arts in Trumpet
Performance from The Ohio State University. All the while, the formal training
of his trumpet studies was being absorbed into his dulcimer playing. This is
the very essence of Mark's unique style- a blend of traditional dulcimer
playing with his formal classical training. Currently Dr. Wade is an Assistant
Professor of Music at

As a performer, Bob is a prolific musician, playing several dozen instruments in a repertoire of more than 2,000 songs. His albums span the genres of folk, traditional, Celtic and maritime music and beyond, and his recordings also appear on other artist compilations. As a songwriter, he is celebrated by fans and peers alike; dozens of performers have covered his original compositions, three of which have been published in "Rise Up Singing," Sing Out Magazine's award-winning community songbook.
Two of the most storied songwriters of the 20th century praised Bob's work, each in his own way. Upon hearing Bob's first release, Mirrors and Changes, country legend Johnny Cash was moved to send the young artist an encouraging letter, saying, "Mirrors and Changes ... is one of the finest works I've heard by any artist." And in 2007, at a symposium at the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center honoring members of the Seeger family for their contributions to American music, music legend and humanitarian Pete Seeger asked Bob, "Are you still writing those good songs? Your songs get around!"
Bob has no intention of slowing down. He continues to perform nearly every week
the year, much of it on the road, and has followed up the 2007 release of his
sixth album, "Closehauled on
the Wind of a Dream," with the new CD "Horizons" in
January 2010. He carries his "informances," rich with
"edu-tainment," to elementary school students with his "Homemade Music"
program; to K-12 teachers as an instructor for the North Carolina Center for the
Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT);
and to elders as a program developer and leader for Elderhostel along
From schools to concert halls, festivals to fairs, museums to libraries, and everywhere in between, Bob is dedicated to a life of presenting, performing and introducing traditional music and its derivatives to those who are already fans ... and those unaware of its existence.
Bill Schilling is a high-energy folk-style
singer and multi-instrumentalist who believes that this type of music should be

Dulci-More: Folk & Traditional Musicians is a club that started in January 1993, at the First United Methodist Church of Salem. The purposes of the club are to have fun with folk-style music and to share that music with others. The club meets at 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday and Third Tuesday (note: it was the third Wednesday until January, 2000) of each month just off the sanctuary in the Unity Classroom of the First United Methodist Church of Salem, 244 South Broadway, Salem, OH 44460. All levels of acoustic instrumentalists and singers are always welcome at the meetings to jam, to learn, to listen, or to perform. Call ahead if you are coming from far away since performances or special meetings may be scheduled a few times a year on regular meeting nights.
I, Marge Diamond began playing dulcimer twenty-seven years ago. Without any musical background, but with tons of enthusiasm, I passed through the beginner stage. Progress was slow and quite painful at times, but persistence began to pay off. By attending dulcimer workshops when ever possible and hanging out with other musicians I began to pick up some technique, learned to keep a fairly good beat, and began making a few fiddle tunes my own.
Learning to play was an amazing thing for me, but then there are the fantastic people I have met along with the tunes. I just would never have believed that adults could come together to share music and have so much fun. There is nothing to compare. For twenty-seven years I have been doing this, and it still feels new and fresh. I am still learning. There is love shared with the learning of the music.
Currently Marge plays with The Oberlin Dulcimer Group and Dulci-More. Marge has performed and taught Dulcimer workshops since 1987. She has been on hand teaching and performing at all of the Dulci-More festivals, at most of the Fort New Salem Festivals, at several of the Kent State Folk Festivals, and has been on hand for some of the COFF festivals. Since retirement in 2003 Marge has been pursuing her love of making art. With her business, Winsome Expressions, she makes airbrushed music themed shirts, "Ultimate Totes", and other items for sale. Marge has one recording, Beyond Cabbage. which has occasionally been available on CD.

Janet has always loved music, and began her journey into its beauty and intricacies as a young child, as there was always music around her in the home. Sixth grade found her beginning flute in school, and from that she taught herself to play piano. High school and college furthered her skills. Since that time she has played piano for church singing, choirs, solos, and small groups. She has participated in community bands and orchestras, as well as small folk music groups. She has taught music in schools, and learned to play many instruments. It was in 2002 that she first heard the Hammered Dulcimer, and it was "Love at First Hammer!"
currently writes and arranges music, as well as performs it, and teaches music,
piano, music theory classes, and workshops at festivals. She has written a book
of hymn arrangements for Hammered Dulcimer, as well as a book of original
tunes. Her latest endeavor has been a book on Music Theory for Hammered
Dulcimer players. She currently plays in "Striking Strings" out of
The Hired Hands are a very local group for our festival (living about a mile from the festival site) and have attended some workshops at the festival in the past as well as a couple of Dulci-More meetings over the years. Their preference is for Scottish music (with some Irish and other Celtic music mixed in). Dulci-More Festival 15 was the first time that some of the group members gave workshops at a festival, and they were back for Dulci-More Festival 16, 17, 18 (featured in an evening concert that year), and 19. They also played for the Dulci-More Concert series in December of 2012. They are returning for Dulci-More Festival 20. These sisters from the Miller family include:

Micah Miller has studied the Suzuki piano method under Mary Louis Foster for the past nine years and picked up the Anglo concertina in 2005. With the concertina she is mainly self-taught, learning tunes by listening to CDs and playing with her sisters. In addition, however, she has had the chance to take workshops with brilliant concertina players such as Grainne Hambly, Caroline Keene, and Frank Edgley. The lighthearted tone of her concertina may be heard on several tracks on the family CD and she often joins her sisters onstage. She plays many local gigs and sessions, most recently being involved in a musical recording project for Christendom College in Front Royal, VA, where she is currently studying.
Maggie Miller began
playing the piano at age 6 and found her niche in the traditional music scene
when she picked up the tin whistle two years ago. She enjoys performing with

The Smokin Fez Monkeys is a modern jug band that puts the fun back into music again. They play a wacky mixture of songs and tunes from several decades ago, mixed in with a number of snappy original ones written by a few of the band members. There are more than a few surprises along the way. It's a sort of a ragtime-cartoon-Vaudeville-circus-hobo-gypsy-jazz thing.

Bill Drake is the percussionist of the group, but he's also a multi-instrumentalist (great guitar player), and singer. Bill plays a whole collection of drums, bells, blocks, washboard, and pretty much anything you can put on a stick. That's right. A stick. A jinglestick, to be precise. Bill has a great solid feel for the rhythm of the tunes. Think Spike Jones! Monkeyname: Gnarly Snag
Jim Stone is the other half of the rhythm section on upright bass. Jim also wears many hats: Fedora, cowboy, derby, etc. Occasionally the band will let him play guitar, too. Monkeyname: Uh, Clem
Mark Sherepita is the other songwriter in the group. He's no longer officially in the group, but often joins us at shows. His style fits perfectly with the jug band genre.

Hi All...received word from one of the directors of the UAN that they will be putting up a brand new site, hosted by themselves, hopefully before the end of the year. They had some problems with the last site, so they thought it would be better to do everything themselves. That way they had full control over everything. In any case, those of you who have links to Armenian nobility and/or royalty, direct or otherwise, keep an eye out for the new site. An announcement will be made when it is ready.

Patient Safety Day came and went quietly on Thursday, once again reminding us of the need to spread awareness among patients themselves.
Infection is the big bad word for any patient. The endeavour of any care-giving set up is to minimise infections and keep the patients safe. While hospitals are increasingly spending a lot of time and money on controlling infections within, much hinges on what patients and their visitors do.
Sathya Bhama, Director of Medical Services, Apollo Hospital, says the best way to control infection in a hospital would be to restrict the number of visitors. If you must visit, however, make sure you use a hand sanitiser before touching the patient.
It is also not right for people to be belligerent about visiting patients in the ICU – "It is likely that they spread infections to seriously ill patients there, but also, they stand a chance of contracting infections."
Flowers are a strict no-no, Dr. Bhama adds. "Flowers can make things worse for those who have infections, those who are recovering after surgery, and patients with certain conditions." Restricting visitors is perceived to be a huge nightmare for the public hospital set up where there are thousands of patients streaming in every day.
However, R.Surendran, director, Institute of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver, Stanley Medical College, says it is not impossible. "Once you educate the patient on the possibilities of contracting infections and assure them you will take care of the patient, they stop crowding the place." Lessons in hygiene and sanitation have to be provided constantly to patients and their attendants to ensure that recovery is uneventful.
Somewhat similar are the challenges in a voluntary health set up, says E.S.Krishnamoorthy, honorary secretary, VHS, Adyar.
"Littering is endemic with the group that visits our hospitals. Also the concept of keeping common facilities like toilets clean after use is just not there." Among patients itself, there are a number of instances of not conforming to instructions given by the physician, like changing dressings on time, wearing washed clothes, wound management, helping the aged to move around, and feeding new borns, to name just a few.
He believes the number of infections and re-infections can come down significantly if these simple instructions are followed.

U.S.S. Lachrymose
I'm a Tac Captain in Excelsior Retrofit and I can tell you this ship kicks a lot of @$$.
Keep in mind I use her primarily for PVE, not PVP.... but in the PVP I've done she is hard to kill.
I will log on tonight and get you my exact current build. In the meantime, from memory:
All my energy weapons are Tetryon. My tactical consoles are all XI Tetryon boosters (no torp consoles).
Up front, I run Dual Beam Bank, Beam Array, Quantum Torp, and I think a single cannon.
Aft, I have quantum torp, and 2 turrets.
These are the purple Borg versions, mostly mark XI.
I do believe I run the Borg set except for Omega shields. To be honest, I do this because someone told me it was a good idea, not because it is any better than full Omega or full MACO.
Her turn rate is quite high for a cruiser. You'll be facing your target(s) 80% of the time. I usually only turn around to fire the aft torpedo while the fore is on cool-down. You can use those engineering slots and consoles to keep your weapon and shield power UP.
I do not broadside in my Excelsior. I equip and fly her as if she were an escort.
Ran Cure Elite a few nights ago and we finished with 5 mins to spare. My ship, the U.S.S. Lachrymose, was definitely a big contributor to that. (It also helps to have a Vo'Quv on Kang defense!)
I want to stress that I first purchased and built up this ship before I knew what I was doing in STO. So not everything is maxed out like it could be, but she's still a beast!

BRAXTON COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Two teenagers are facing charges after dozens of school buses were vandalized in Braxton County.
West Virginia State Police tell WSAZ.com, a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old were questioned about the incident Wednesday night.
Police say those teens are accused of spraying fire extinguishers on 30 school buses and then smashing out the windows. They are also accused of damaging the lounge at the school bus garage in Sutton.
Troopers say the damage is estimated to be about $100,000.
Charges will be filed against both teens Friday.
State Police say the vandalism happened sometime Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
The damage could exceed $100,000.
Fire extinguishers found on board were sprayed inside and used to smash windows and windshields, garage director Fritz Deuley said.
Security cameras were torn out of three of the buses.
"I wonder what kind of people we have in our county that would do something like this?" Deuley said. "All they're hurting is the children of the county."
Brenda Wells is the director of Braxton Schools' Curriculum and Support Services. She says this takes away time normally spent on bus maintenance required each summer.
"It's going to hustle us to have our buses up and running for the first day of school," Wells said.
Wells says other county school boards have already contacted them offering to let them use their buses if they're needed for summer programs.
West Virginia State Police say they have suspects in the case.

Middle Gable
House | 2 bedrooms | sleeps 5
|Key Info
Middle Gable is one of the most picturesque and historic properties in the Cotswolds, dating from the time of the English Civil War, over 350 years ago. The house has recently been sympathetically refurbished and retains a wealth of character features, including dovecotes (square holes on the outside wall, originally intended to house doves or pigeons), stone mullion windows, wooden beams, a grand fireplace, original wooden flooring and a "wig and gown" cupboard, to store the wigs and gowns worn by people of the period. Complementing these period features, the house has modern facilities, including two satellite TVs, a Blu-ray home theatre system and a well equipped kitchen. The living room and both bedrooms look out over beautifully maintained gardens, which include a paved seating area for Middle Gable guests. The layout of the house makes Middle Gable an ideal retreat for a family or a group of friends.
The house sleeps up to five people, in two bedrooms: two in a spectacular four-poster bed in bedroom 1 and three in single beds in bedroom 2. There is a bathroom and a shower room.

|Further details indoors
Middle Gable is located very close to the heart of the beautiful village of Bourton-in-the-Water.
The property is accessed via the garden, which leads to the beautiful wooden front door. Inside the house, a small entrance hall leads into:
- Living room: A grand room, which has been newly refurbished in a traditional style, enhancing the abundance of period features, including stone mullion windows, a large fireplace with wood-burning stove, wooden beams and a centuries old alcove. The refurbishment includes a limestone flagged floor, with underfloor heating, and the provision of a flat screen satellite TV and Blu-ray home theatre system.
The living room then leads into the Inner Hall, which in turn leads to:
- Shower room: Contains a shower, basin and toilet;
- Kitchen/dining room: The kitchen is well equipped, including a cooker with hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washer dryer. There is a good sized dining table, with five chairs, and the layout of the room ensures that all guests can socialise whilst cooking is in progress.
Returning to the Inner Hall, a grand wooden staircase leads up to the first floor hallway, off which are:
- Bedroom 1: The initial highlight of the room is the spectacular super-king size four poster bed and this impressive room also has what is believed to be the original wooden flooring, stone mullion windows and the original "wig and gown" cupboard. There is a flat panel satellite TV in the room;
- Bathroom: Contains a bath with shower attachment, basin and toilet.
The staircase then continues up into the gable of the house, giving access to:
- Bedroom 2: A very spacious, dual aspect eaves bedroom, with beautiful original wooden beams. The room contains three single beds, two of which can be pushed together and one of which doubles up as a sofa (it is a full size adult bed, however).
|Further details outdoors
Out of the front door, the lovingly cared for open plan gardens spread out in front of you. In Middle Gable's garden, extending from the front of the house, there is a bench, for relaxing and looking out over all the gardens, as well as a more paved seating area, which contains an outdoor table and chairs. At the end of the garden is a double garage for guest use.

In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas. If you have any queries regarding the size of any rooms or spaces, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The owners of Middle Gable are proud supporters of www.giveustime.org.uk, which provides holidays to servicemen and their families, to help them adjust to life after combat.
The Central England/Cotswolds region
The Cotswolds are a range of hills in west-central England, sometimes called the "Heart of England". The name Cotswold means "sheep enclosure in rolling hillsides".
The Cotswolds are characterised by attractive small towns and villages, built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone). In the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous and some of this money was put into the building of churches, leaving the area with a number of large handsome Cotswold stone "wool churches". The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.
Cotswold towns include Bourton-on-the-Water, Broadway, Burford, Chipping Norton, Cirencester, Moreton-in-Marsh, Northleach, Stow-on-the-Wold, Stroud and Winchcombe. The town of Chipping Campden is notable for being the home of the Arts and Crafts movement, founded by William Morris at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. William Morris lived occasionally in Broadway Tower, a folly, now part of a country park. Chipping Campden is also known for the annual Cotswold Olimpick Games, a celebration of sports and games dating back to the early 17th century.
The Cotswolds is the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and Wales. Whilst the beauty of the Cotswold AONB is intertwined with the villages that seem to almost grow out of the landscape, the Cotswolds were primarily designated as an AONB for the rare limestone grassland habitats as well as the old growth beech woodlands that typify the area. These habitat areas are also the last refuge for many other flora and fauna with some so endangered they are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The uniqueness and value of the Cotswolds is engendered in the fact that five European Special Areas of Conservation, three National Nature Reserves and over 80 Sites of Special Scientific Interest are contained within the Cotswold AONB.
Information on things to do in the Cotswolds is provided in the Activities tab and places to eat and drink are listed in the Food & Drink tab on the Character Cottages website
Bourton on the Water
The village of Bourton-on-the-Water (or "Bourton") is famous for its picturesque High Street, flanked by long wide greens and the River Windrush that runs through them. The river is crossed by several low, arched stone bridges, which have led to Bourton being called the "Venice of the Cotswolds". Bourton is regularly voted the prettiest village in the Cotswolds.
Despite only being classified as a village, Bourton's status as a major tourist destination means that it has numerous shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes and tourist attractions.
One of the Bourton's long standing traditions is the playing every summer of a game of medieval football, with goalposts set up in the River Windrush itself. Two teams play with a standard football and a referee attempts to keep order. Crowds line the banks of the river, and the aim is to score as many goals as possible (whilst getting everyone else as wet as possible!).
Various long-distance footpaths and local walks start, finish or pass through Bourton, including the Windrush Way and the Heart of England Way, which begins its 100-mile route north in the village.
Food and drink:
Bourton has a variety of places to eat and drink, including cafes, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, with a range of prices to suit all budgets. For eating in, nearby Stow has a Tesco and a Co-op for regular food purchases and, for a special treat, there are a number of delicatessens specialising in local produce.
There are many excellent places to eat and drink in the wider North Cotswolds area, with the major towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh, Chipping Campden, Broadway, Burford and Chipping Norton containing a wide variety of tea shops, pubs and restaurants, catering for most tastes and budgets. There are also many traditional Cotswold pubs located in the lovely villages throughout the North Cotswolds.
The list below is a very small sample to give you a flavour for the wide range of attractions and activities that are available in and around the Cotswolds . Tourist Information centres are located in all the main North Cotswold towns.
- Blenheim Palace
- Warwick Castle
- Stratford-upon-Avon
- Hidcote
- Cheltenham race course
- Cotswold Farm Park
- Batsford Arboretum
- Broadway Tower Country Park
- Snowshill Manor & Garden
- Oxford
Activities available in the Cotswolds include walking, cycling, horse riding, golf, swimming and rock climbing.
Further food & drink and activities information is available on the Character Cottages website.

The following response was posted by the property owners:
"Thank you for your comments, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Middle Gable. We are sorry you found the oven lacking, we have spoken to the housekeeping team who will check it.
The television in the bedroom has to be switched on to work, the switch is situated at the bottom of the television. In general the height in the top bedroom is unrestricted but you may have to duck under the beam if you are over 6ft in height, the door into the bedroom is low but guests are advised of that when they call me for key details, my husband is 6' 2" and does not find it a problem, but this property is almost 400 years old and some variation in roof height is part of its innate character. If you had called me during your stay I would have been able to rectify the oven and television issue for you!"

I wanted to take jazz dance when I was a kid but my mom only gave Scottish or Ukranian as options - not ones I took her up on. So when I was 30 I took a teen hip-hop jazz class (the teacher said no one would notice I wasn't a teenager when we did our performance.) I didn't make all the costumes, but I did sew mine. BTW, in case you haven't guessed, I'm on the bottom right. The class chose the song I picked "Drums in the House" by Scott Blackwell - so that's why we're holding drumsticks.

Equipment company says the purchase will include Indy's fabrication and manufacturing divisions.
IROCK, a manufacturer of crushing and screening equipment, has announced the acquisition of Indy Equipment, in nearby Independence, Ohio. IROCK says in a press release the move marks a significant step in furthering its long-term business strategy of investing in growth, technology and quality assurance to meet the needs of its expanding customer base in the aggregates and recycling industries. The acquisition encompasses Indy Equipment's fabrication and manufacturing division.
IROCK, based in Valley View, Ohio, notes that while the official acquisition is new, the relationship between the two companies has been in existence for more than 20 years. IROCK was established in 1992 with Indy Equipment as a strategic partner providing expertise in equipment design, engineering and manufacturing. The original partnership strengthened IROCK's manufacturing process by ensuring high quality, purpose-built equipment for its dealers and end-user customers, reflecting Independence Recycling Inc.'s (Indy Equipment's sister company) firsthand knowledge and experience in the crushing and screening industry.
IROCK's acquisition brings the entire manufacturing process, from initial design to final quality assurance, under one umbrella for a more streamlined process.
"Our focus has always been on providing the highest quality equipment solutions to our customers, and we're proud to have maintained that commitment," says Bob Nelson, IROCK's general manager. "This acquisition brings the expertise and manufacturing efficiency that we've accessed through our strategic partnership under one roof, which will optimize efficiency and product quality, while maintaining our commitment to meeting the highest of standards."
Ken Taylor, president and owner of IROCK, says the acquisition is part of a natural transition to go from being a partner to acquiring Indy Equipment. "Indy Equipment was an ideal fit for us from the start, sharing similar values in regards to customer service and quality in design, engineering and manufacturing. It has been a strong partnership for years, and we're pleased to take it one step further to work more closely and seamlessly together."

After decades of war punctuated by drought and famine, signs have emerged in recent years that Somalia may be heading toward a more peaceful and prosperous future. The terrorist group Al Shabab has been driven out of the capital and other areas (although attacks and assassinations are still a regular occurrence), a federal government has been elected and – despite limited capacity – assumed the reins of power, and economic projects are being planned and implemented.
It's Sunday morning in Beirut, and it's quiet except for the bells of the church down the street. This is normally a bustling, noisy neighborhood, and it's a nice change to be sitting here in a café when the day has not yet begun in earnest.

The latest was Typhoon Glenda, a category three storm that first made landfall over Albay Province on July 15, before continuing northwest and knocking out power over Metro Manila.
In Australia, the navy is intercepting boats in international waters and incarcerating asylum seekers in floating prisons. In Kenya, the government is deporting refugees to Somalia, despite the continued armed conflict and the increasingly serious drought in that country. Sudan has recently returned a group of refugees to Eritrea, one of the most authoritarian countries in the world. And the United States is refusing to admit many Mexican children who arrive at its border, despite mounting evidence that they are escaping from life-threatening and gang-related violence.

This week, my colleague, Alice Thomas, and I are traveling to Kenya to assess the deteriorating situation for those refugees.
When my colleague, Garrett Bradford, and I met Pablo and Ana in Mexico City they had been displaced from their home, lost their fifteen-year-old son and son-in-law to an ambush by organized crime, and were still searching for their seventeen-year-old son, Juan, who had been kidnapped two months before. They are two of hundreds of thousands of Mexicans who have been displaced by organized crime and other armed actors in the last few years.
On December 15th, 2013, violence broke out in the young nation of South Sudan. What began with accusations from President Salva Kiir of an attempted coup d'état by former Vice President Riek Machar has since enflamed underlying ethnic tensions and sparked a much larger conflict in which more than 10,000 people have died.
"There was war in my home. The Mai Mai came to our village and burned everything there. I came here with my wife and eight children two months ago with nothing but the clothes on our backs. I came to this village to try to get some food." These are the words of Emmanuel, an internally displaced man in northern Katanga Province. "Look," he said, pointing to a makeshift house of branches and leaves. "We have no shelter, and no food."
