Explosion levels Terrell Hills home
TERRELL HILLS, Texas --An explosion rocks the small neighborhood of Terrell Hills this morning.
The fire levelled a home and sent one woman to the hospital with severe burns.
Huge bright flames lit up the nighttime sky at the home on Lyman street off of Rittiman Road and Harry Wurzbach on the citys northeast side about 5:30 this morning.
Firefighters believe a gas leak sparked the fire.
The fire moving so fast, the home was fully engulfed by the time firefighters got there.
The explosion caused by the gas leak rattled neighbors and their homes.
She was in the kitchen, lighting her stove and when she turned she heard the explosion and the explosion knocked her to the floor, said Terrell Hills Fire Chief Billy Knupp. The female resident did have 18 percent of burns on her body, she was transported to SAMC, she was alert and oriented at the time of transport.
Firefighters say the impact was so strong that the woman was blown across the room and her garage door landed across the street.
It took fire crews from Terrell Hills, Olmos Park, Ft. Sam Houston and Alamo Heights to tackle the blaze.
The home was completely destroyed and neighbors say the husband and wife living there had just completed a house make-over.
Firefighters want to urge the public to check your gas appliances at least twice a year.

Social area way to small. 5$ for airport pick up. 5$ for Wi-Fi access (500mb). Kitchen clean, only space for one person at a time to prepare food thou. Not a social hostel atmosphere, no decorations, professional. The place is more geared to keeping attached hotel guests happy. Good place if you need to sleep and catch a flight early in the morning.

Stayed just for 1 night. Everything was okay. I had everything I needed after 3 flights of overall time of 24 h. Best option for those, who use Auckland just as temporary base between flights.

I was very unhappy with my stay at this hostel, my flight arrived in at 4am and when I rang for shuttle service - I was rudely told that there was nowhere I could hang out at the hostel and couldn't check in until 2pm that day meaning I spent 10 hours in the airport. As a hostel close to the airport, the least they could do is accomadate guests when they arrive at airport. Very disappointing and unhelpful staff.

Hostel Price was avg, but then they charged me $5 NZ for a ride to and from the airport (which totaled to $10), Room had 5 beds (2 bunk beds and 1 single bed). The single bed was "stuffed" in there in an effort to attain more revenue, but it made the room really cramped. More shelving and/or a desk would have been nice instead. I did like the electronic lock system. BUT--I got bit by bed bugs and they did not put the normal 2 sheets on the bed, only a sheet and a blanket!

By Vivek Wallace: After a long year of stellar action in the world of boxing, we've now reached the end of the road. The year of 2008 was filled with many thrillers; some predictable, many that weren't, but all in all it was a year that saw many unprecedented moments that will go down in the history books forever. Along the journey there were many individuals that made the quest a highly entertaining one. Today, we take a reflective look back and honor those individuals: Fighter of the Year: I'll prefix this section by stating that this choice was no easy pick, but when comparing his efforts to those of his contemporaries, I think a few things set him apart. Manny Pacquiao did what some felt to be impossible, but when the year-to-date chapter was sealed, his 'legend killing' status equaled only one. For Joe Calzaghe, he came into this year with a ton of questions surrounding him, but by years end, it's safe to say he found a way to answer them all. Not only did he defeat two of the biggest icons in the history of the sport, but he did it on their turf, which has to be commended. Calzaghe capped off a perfect year, and possibly a perfect career with two very solid victories and a strong argument for pound-for-pound supremacy despite the fact that Mr. Pacquiao holds that billet. JOE CALZAGHE - (Honorable Mention: Manny Pacquiao and Bernard Hopkins) Fight of the Year: There were many fights that categorically come close, but for me, this was an easy pick - when viewing things on what I would look for in a fight. For the longest time this fight was busy brewing in the background and under the radar. Both of these guys' every move was watched, speculated, and anticipated, until things finally came into fruition. These two men are warriors, and when they did collide, it was no bait and switch. Fight fans got what they paid for, more! The major appeal and intriguing factor of this fight was the fact that prior to it happening, none of us could conceive a storyline where Cotto would ever be stopped, but then again, we knew nothing would stop Margarito until he did just that. This was an absolute war of attrition, and there's no way I see any other fight in this calender year taking the 'gold' in this category. ANTONIO MARGARITO VS MIGUEL COTTO - (Honorable Mention: Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez - Great ebb and flow, great action, and two great men who were able to rise to the occasion for 12 rounds). Performance of the Year: After losing to Joe Calzaghe, despite the fact that he didn't necessarily look bad in the fight, everyone felt it was time for 'the Executioner' to hang up the gloves. After listening to the negative spin on various websites and chat platforms, B-Hop went back to the lab, honed his craft, and went hunting for the most dangerous opponent he could find. That man was the undefeated and very dangerous Kelly Pavlik. NO ONE - I repeat, NO ONE - in the media saw Hopkins lasting in this fight. Some even went as far as predicting an early KO. It all looked good on paper until Hopkins reminded us that paper burns! I've watched many memorable moments in the sport over the last few decades but none that paralleled the classic aftermath when Hopkins stood on a ring post - high like the pedestal his performance had just placed him on - and glanced at each member of the media covering the fight one by one, by one, and let his silence speak volumes. It was one of the most dominating, unexpected performances ever put on by a 40+ year old athlete in any sport, and definitely one of the best EVER in this sport. BERNARD HOPKINS - (Honorable Mention: Manny Pacquaio - brilliant performance against Oscar De La Hoya, despite the huge weight gain required. Only difference here was that Pacquiao was the man in his prime, while the aging Hopkins SOUNDLY beat an opponent who was in his. Another honorably mentioned name here would be Nate Campbell, whose victory over Juan Diaz was poetry-in-motion...an absolute brilliant performance). 'Dark Horse' Award: Every year I give this award out to the fighter who we can see evolving into something great. Basically a fighter defined by that whole 'diamond-in-the-rough' appeal. One thing I think that makes this award special is the fact that this person tends to be so gifted that few choose to cross paths with them, categorically placing them in that proverbial 'high-risk-low-reward' basket. Last year it was Paul Williams and in what was a very prophetic moment, his weight class hopping (from 147 - 160) this year has shown that the pick was spot on because that feat is unprecedented in today's era of money yes, action maybe type fighters. This years choice comes down to a man that I think is slowly coming into his own and by the end of 2009 will have the world of boxing saying his name. TIMOTHY BRADLEY - (Honorable Mention - Nate Campbell....A fighter who remains under the radar but is clearly above the rim to anyone who knows the role of a spoiler with skills. There's a prime reason why Marquez and a few others with status haven't exactly called him out, and by the end of next year, despite his age (36), I think he may change the expected route of a few marquee fighters...That's if they dare take him on). 'G.E.W.T.W. Award' This is another personal award that I present, but this one is solely for the hardcore fight aficionado's around the world. The name of the award itself (pronounced like - JUDO) is appealing because it was coined to mean someone who kicks butt and takes names, while the acronym itself means Giving Em What They Want - referring to the fight fans. When I look at the various fighters around the sport there are several who bring it every night in the ring, but there's only one that I can think of who will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Many fighters have said this, but this is the only guy who has taken it upon himself to separate from the rest of the pack by doing something unprecedented - which is take up space between three different weight divisions at the same time, literally head hunting. Not Mayweather, not Pacquiao, not Calzaghe, or anyone else has done this, which is why I think he needs to be commended. This honor goes to.... PAUL WILLIAMS - (Honorable Mention: Manny Pacquiao...Despite his new found grand-level fame, this guy is clearly ready to take on all comers and actually does it at a very high level. Promoter of the Year: This is an easy one to call. 'Goldenboy' promotions has given us the biggest spectacles of the year, King has continued to give us something to talk about and many others have followed that path; That being said, it's the house that 'Bob' built which remains the brick castle among wooden boxes. Top Rank/Bob Arum has been the man this year, literally having a stable so strong that nearly all major fights of the '08 calendar year have had his stamp on them. After establishing the rights to everyone from Pavlik, to Cotto, to Margarito, and Pacquiao, what else could a promoter possibly ask for? Arum easily takes this cake and can eat it too! BOB ARUM - (Honorable Mention: Goldenboy Promotions - despite the pathetic undercards, Oscar and his henchmen over at GBP have consistently given us main events that made us want to tune in. This wasn't exactly the case in the Pacquaio/Oscar fight, but with names like that headlining I guess we should understand why the undercards are that weak. How can anyone afford to pay the 'little guys' when the big boys are consistently starring at $10M+ just to show up?...It is what it is)! With another year down, I'd like to personally thank each and every one of the fighters mentioned - as well as those not - for making this a memorable year.

Humans are relentless in their efforts to understand God. We can change the language (some say "God" is an over-used word), we can find new metaphors (poets are especially good at this), we can duck the conversation altogether by claiming God does not exist (a common strategy for something that is — almost by definition — not graspable). It's the engagement with the question that is unrelenting. "That which you are seeking is causing you to seek." And seek we do.
That we "exist" as human beings is certain as a fact
Created/evolved through a lengthy process — others say an act
A Creator-God often viewed as the prime reason for "being"
A mystery question that seeks an answer, one that's not misleading
There is a presence here and now;
A presence with us all;
A presence when we're trav'ling high;
A presence when we fall.
God is all without being any thing
while being the all in every thing.
God is the perhaps at the edge
of every moment of choosing.

BroadwayWorld Writers & Staff Congratulate Diamond/Rosen Nuptials
On Saturday August 27, 2011, BroadwayWorld.com's CEO/Editor-in-Chief Robert Diamond, in the midst of Hurricane Irene, married actress Jennifer Hallie Rosen after a 17 month engagement. The two were introduced by a friend of Rosen's, who wasn't able to make the wedding, as a result of the weather and warnings throughout all the boroughs. The BroadwayWorld.com News Desk stayed feverish all weekend while the couple said "I Do", as news was coming fast about theatre cancellations, schedule changes and travel advisories in addition to all things that were happening in other parts of the country and the world, not affected by the Northeast's local weather.
The wedding took place at The Yale Club on Vanderbilt Avenue in New York City, across from a deserted Grand Central Station and the couple and both sets of parents, James and Robin Rosen and Steve and Marcia Diamond were taking phone calls, emails and texts right up to the last minute that diminished attendance by 25-30 people. In spite of everything, we all know that 'the show must go on' and the wedding did indeed go on in a spectacular and memorable fashion...without a hitch.
The couple will be honeymooning in Hawaii and are awaiting their flight, which was delayed due to, what else, weather. Congratulations Rob and Jennifer Diamond. We will see you back at the desk when you return.

Preparing for a new year of AP and IB Economics
Another summer has come to an end and I'm in my classroom preparing for another year of Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Economics. There's a lot to be excited about this year, including the fact that the co-author of my textbook, Pearson Baccalaureate's Economics for the IB Diploma, Sean Maley, has joined me at Zurich International School as a teaching partner. He will be taking two sections of IB Year 1, two of IB Year 2 and one AP Microeconomics this year. I will have the same IB load and one AP Micro/Macro combined course.
I'm also excited because this year I will be using my brand new PowerPoints and Lecture Notes created over the summer, which are a huge improvement on their popular predecessors.
In addition to adding to the already large library of video lectures on The Economics Classroom created last year, I plan to produce even more 8-15 minute YouTube lessons covering the remaining topics from AP and IB Economics. For each new lesson I produce, I plan to create a practice activity to go with it (all of last year's activities are already available for free here). I've received several requests from teachers and students for answer keys to go with each activity, which is also something I plan to create this year. By this time next year, I hope to have a workbook for AP and IB Economics available for purchase through my website.
Other exciting developments in Welker's Wikinomics include:
- Flashcards on key terms from every section of the AP and IB course, developed late last school year to help my students study for their exams,
- A comprehensive glossary of over 330 Economics terms, also made for exam review last year,
- Floating definitions on the Economics Classroom, so that no matter what post you're looking at, the definition of any key term can be read without having to leave the page,
- My free mobile app for the Android and iPhone, which provides convenient access to the mobile versions of both Economics in Plain English and The Economics Classroom, along with full access to the flashcards and glossary on your mobile device.
If you're not already subscribed to the weekly update from Economics in Plain English and the Economics Classroom, go ahead and enter your email address into the field in the upper right hand corner of this blog, or on my home page. You'll receive one email newsletter per week (Monday morning) containing the latest posts or video lessons put up in the last week. You can also follow me through your favorite social media, indluding:
- On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/welkers.wikinomics/
- On Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jasonwelker/
- On YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/welkerjason
As always, I love hearing from students and teachers using my resources. Please feel free to post your comments to this blog or send me emails directly at email@example.com. I love hearing suggestions and talking to teachers and students about Economics about any topic whatsoever!
Here's to a new school year and another exciting year of Economic teaching and studies!

Reviewed Salmon with Brown Sugar and Mustard Glaze
Jan 31, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This dish was absolutely amazing! I followed the recipe to the tee, with the exception of using a grill pan instead of a real grill and the use of salmon without any skin. The glaze is de-LISH! My boyfriend absolutely loved it as well. I would definitely break out this recipe to impress dinner guests!""

There is only one thing that is better than blackberry cobbler, and that is blackberry cobbler cupcakes. These consist of a cupcake flavored with orange zest, vanilla extract, whole blackberries and a whole lot of sugar. Once they are baked and have had a chance to cool, they are topped with a blackberry glaze, made from more blackberries, more sugar and more orange zest. Throw on some of the homemade cobbler crumble topping and serve with a smile!

How to Make Stamped Metal Charms
By: Rings & Things
Stamped metal charms are a great addition to jewelry craft projects and other homemade charms. They are also a fun embellishment for journals and other papercrafts. Follow this tutorial from Rings & Things to create your own.
- Nylon/steel block
- metal snips
- chasing hammer
- utility hammer
- rubber mallet or nylon hammer
- 2-hole metal punch,
- letter stamps
- brass brush
- 0000 steel wool
- metal file
- masking tape
- ink pad
- ruler
- oxidizing agent or patina solution
Note: This technique works well for sterling silver, solid copper, and solid brass sheet or "dog tags." Each metal will have its own unique characteristics, and if possible it is best to practice on a scrap of metal prior to making your actual project.
- Use your letter stamps with an ink pad and a piece of paper to pre-layout your script. Plan your letter layout and spacing for your metal tag.
- Using metal snips, indelible marker and a ruler, cut a piece of 24-gauge sheet metal to the desired size and shape.
- File the corners and any rough edges and punch hole(s) into tag and flatten.
- Label one side of your steel block as "rubber" and one side as "steel." The rubber side is used for flattening with a leather or rubber mallet. The steel side is used for hammering or stamping.
- On the "steel" side of your steel block, tape your metal tag in place with masking tape. This will hold your tag securely while you stamp, and can act as a guide for letter placement.
- If your letter stamps do not have a directional mark, place a dot with Wite-out® to indicate the top side of each letter. This will aid in keeping all of your letters directionally correct. Use your stamped paper guide to plan the position of the first letter on your tag.
- Line up the first stamp. In a standing position, hold the stamp perpendicular to the metal tag. With a utility hammer, strike the stamp firmly just once, straight down with one hard hammer blow. Repeat for each letter until your word or phrase is complete.
- If desired, add texture to your piece, such as hammering. Remember the antique patina will enhance any indentations on the metal.
- After you have stamped and textured your tag, finish the edges by using the peening edge of a chasing hammer to lightly dapple all around the edges of the tag. File any rough points.
- Dip tag and findings (split/jump rings, head/eye pins, etc.) into the oxidizing agent or patina solution. Once desired patina has been achieved, rinse in cool water and dry. Use 0000 steel wool and brass brush to clean your piece.
- Assemble into finished jewelry piece.
Tip: Have fun, and don't expect perfection; little oddities will give your tag charm and uniqueness. For additional decoration try adding design stamps, or metal forms you create yourself using 14 gauge stainless steel wire (available at hardware stores).

Three new camera pouches from Fujifilm marketed under the names Tre, Bullet, and Cubo cover a range of visual and functional styles and are designed to fit the Z20fd exclusively.
Three new camera pouches from Fujifilm marketed under the names Tre, Bullet, and Cubo cover a range of visual and functional styles and are designed to fit the Z20fd exclusively.
Coming on the heels of Fujifilm's announcement of the world's fastest CF card, A-DATA has deposed the previous record holder in short succession with 350x CFs.
In a press release from its U.K. division, Fujifilm has announced the launch of a full line of ultra-fast CompactFlash cards.
The Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd is hoping that its claim as the world's smallest 10 megapixel camera with a 12x zoom is enough to grab some attention.
Fujifilm's U.K. arm put a press release on the wire this morning outlining a new Fuji Z model, the Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd. Building on the platform of the successful Z100fd, the new model features a 10 megapixel sensor, the Z100fd's familiar 5x zoom, Dual Image Stabilization, and several new soft features.
In a press release this week, Fujifilm announced that the price of it could no longer continue to absorb rising paper and film manufacturing costs resulting from the ever-increasing cost of raw materials.
Getting into Fuji's latest high-style ultracompact, the Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd, just got a little easier: Fuji announced this week that it's lowering the Z100fd's MSRP to a very budget friendly $199.95.
The middle of the month has rolled around again, meaning it's time for another comparison courtesy of DCR's Head to Head series. In this month's bout, two high-end, wide-zoom compacts - the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 - head into the ring for a wide-angle smackdown of epic proportions: "Two cameras enter, one camera leaves!" Or something...
Fujifilm's F series compact digitals with the Super CCD sensor have enjoyed a reputation for better than average high ISO noise performance dating back to at least the F30. When the F50fd got a healthy boost in sensor resolution on the same-sized sensor, noise performance slipped a bit, at least by Fuji standards. Now the F50fd has been joined by the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd, and the question on the minds of many Fuji fans is whether the new model - with a current-generation sensor and new processor - will restore the FinePix line to its former prominence as the undisputed low-light leader.

AT&T Center
Attendance: 18,581
San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Kevin Garnett finished with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists, as the Boston Celtics took a 90-83 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
Both teams were hot coming in, having won their last five, but Boston staved off a late run to take its fourth consecutive win in San Antonio.
Rajon Rondo had 12 points, 12 assists and six boards, and made a key basket with two minutes to play. Ray Allen had 15 points and Rasheed Wallace 13 in the victory, which improved Boston's record to 15-4 overall and 8-1 on the road.
DeJuan Blair had a career-high 18 points and 11 rebounds to pace the Spurs, while Tim Duncan added 16 points and 15 boards in the setback. Tony Parker had 17 points and seven assists for San Antonio, which lost despite gathering a season-high 20 offensive rebounds.
"That's the type of game I like to play," Blair said. "I was just out there, [Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich] gave me the minutes. Whether I play five minutes or whatever minutes I played tonight it's all about working hard, hustling, being there for the team and rebounding."
The Celtics led by as many as 15, but a six-point Spurs run, capped by a Blair jumper, had San Antonio within 81-75 with seven minutes left. The teams traded baskets on their next couple possessions, and a Blair layup cut Boston's lead to 85-79 with just under five minutes to go.
Each team then missed a number of shots, including a pair of missed free throws by Duncan. With under three minutes left, Blair got a hand on a Duncan miss and tipped it in, getting the Spurs within four.
But with two minutes remaining, Rondo connected on a jumper to extend the lead to six. The Spurs had their chances down the stretch, but Richard Jefferson's long jumper was their only other field goal in the remaining time, and the Celtics sealed the win at the free throw line.
"They made a run on us," Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. "I thought we struggled there in one stretch. We got away from running our stuff. I thought we were ad-libbing a little too much and playing a little too random. Overall I was happy with the win. It was a tough win."
The Celtics opened the game on a 12-4 run to force the Spurs to play from behind. Boston then scored seven of the final eight points of the frame, and Marquis Daniels' basket in the final minute gave the Celtics a 25-15 lead.
The Spurs, who shot 7-of-22 in the opening quarter, got within a possession of the Celtics a few times in the second quarter, the latest coming when a Parker layup brought them within 34-31.
But again the Celtics expanded their lead, as Kendrick Perkins converted a three-point play to spark a 13-3 run. Perkins had seven points in the stretch, ending it with a layup for a 47-34 lead with just under a minute to play.
San Antonio scored the final five points of the half to trim its deficit to single-digits going to the break, but Boston opened the third with a pair of baskets to make it a 51-39 game.
The Spurs were within 66-60 with under two minutes left in the third, but Garnett answered with a three-point play. Wallace eventually closed the frame's scoring with a trey to put Boston ahead 74-63.

I've been posting on the Kitchen & Appliance forums for quite awhile, but this is my 1st post on plumbing. I hope you can help me with my problem. My toilet stopped up a few days ago & I tried to plunge with no success. Called my plumber to come fix the problem while I was out of town. He came over & apparently snaked it. The inside of my toilet is scratched up pretty badly. There are 2 scratches at the bottom where the tube(?!) goes down. One is about the size of a dime & the other about 1/2 of that. It looks like debris at the bottom of my toilet! Yuk! At 1st I thought it was leaves or debris that I brought in w/ my plunger, which was out in the garage. But, when it wasn't going down, I realized it was scratches. It's a Kohler that matches my sink. It's not a very old toilet & I'm not wanting to replace it. I'm working on my kitchen & a new toilet is not in my budget. Is there something I can do to make these go away? If there's nothing that can be done, should I make him buy me a new one? I like this guy & hate to have a bad experience w/ him, but this is unacceptable. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I'll try to take some pics later, but right now I don't have a camera that's working. Thank you in advance for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Turn off the water to the toilet and flush it. Then put some comet/bartenders friend or the like on sponge or rag and lightly scrub the offending marks. Porcelain is pretty hard so it probably isn't surface scratched but the metal of a toilet snake will leave surface marks on it. |
Ditto azbound....likely surface-only and will come off easily with bartender's friend. Don't use comet...too abrasive, IMHO. Hardware stores also have small abrasive sheets designed for the purpose. |

Thanks to both of you! If that's all it is, I'll be thrilled. I have barkeepers friend & comet, but will only use the barkeeper, in hopes this works. I used to have a porcelain sink in the kitchen & I loved it because it was so easy to take care of. I should have known this would work the same way. I will give you a follow up after I try it & let you know the results. Thank you very much. |
Thanks for coming back. Few people do. I would like to learn results of whatever you do. |

It could just be rust from the steel auger. Every time I use my auger I have to put around 1/4 cup of Super Iron Out powder in the bowl and let it soak. Don't close the toilet seat. The odor is strong. If barkeeper friend doesn't work, give this a try. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Super Iron Out powder

Thanks breakeroff. I finally got to emptying the water out of the tank & taking the barkeepers friend to it today. It didn't seem to get it all, so I went for the Comet. It pretty much took care of the scratches, for the most part, but I can still see a little of it. However, if you don't know it's there, you'd never see them. I'll keep Super Iron Out powder in mind in case something like this happens again & good ole Comet doesn't do the job! As usual, fellow GW'ers come to my rescue. So glad to be a part of this community! Thank you again everyone! |

Aaaaand We're Back
Posted By Worker Bee On July 16, 2007 @ 11:45 am In Announcements,Health | 5 Comments
Howdy, all! No doubt you noticed the blog was out of commission for a few days. Our programmers were hard at work restructuring our comment system. You'll find the blog is much, much easier to participate in now.
Here's what's going on:
Previously, the blog was designed with an attached ("bridged") vbulletin forum. All blog posts showed up in a relevant section of the forums…er, fora. To comment on a blog post, you had to be a registered member of the forum first. This offered a number of benefits, but also some limitations. While the forum provides a community-like space for frequent readers to get to know each other, new readers who simply wanted to share a quick thought on a post weren't havin' it. So we've come up with a great solution that gives you the best of both worlds (genius, I tell you). To comment on a post, simply click "Comments" at the bottom of the post. Voila, comment away! You'll simply have to provide your name and email, and your website if you have one. Your email stays private.
We still have the forum, which you can navigate to by clicking "Forum" up yonder or by typing www.marksdailyapple.com/forum into your browser's URL window. We're keeping the forum for several reasons:
1) It's fun. You can start your own threads or even write your own posts (and pimp your own blog!). You can expand upon any blog post or take it in a new direction – basically, the forum is for you! Moving forward, commenting on posts will be a lot easier and registration-free, but we'll all still be hanging out in the forum daily, so no worries there!
2) You get the weekly email newsletter. The newsletter includes the "best of" from the week, which is handy if you don't always have time to check the blog daily or still haven't gotten with the program and hooked up your RSS reader! The weekly email usually includes an extra recipe, fun link or other bonus tidbit you won't get here at the blog.
3) We've also kept the forum so all the many thousands of comments on past blog posts didn't get lost in the shuffle – that would be tragic! They're all still there, archived in the Blog Forum section at the top of the page. This might make things appear a little funky for you longtime readers who are used to comments being located in the blog forum. In fact, you can already see the changes: scroll down the Mark's Daily Apple main page and you'll notice that many posts appear to have no comments now (hey, what happened to my comments!?!). Don't worry – the comments are still "there" – they're simply archived in the forum. From now on, comments will be visible on the main blog page only – not in the forum. The transition is really very simple and everything is a lot easier now (cool!). Go ahead, comment on this post. See how easy that is?
Commenting rules:
The blog is now your oyster, so don't hold back. That said, keep it civil, and let's not feed any trolls!

People | 8 |
Bedrooms | 2 |

Property type | house |
Minimum Stay | 4 nights |
Our vacation house is set amid delightful gardens in a secluded part of this out-of-the-way island. The West Indies-style house features a new kitchen, a large screened porch facing the sea, a patio with views of the volcano and other hills, and a swimming pool. There are two bedrooms, a sleeping porch, and three baths -- plus a sofa bed in the living room. The two bedrooms have air-conditioning for warm summer nights. Local artwork complements the home's lovely color scheme. Sitting at the convenient, built-in computer desk with WiFi access for your laptop and other devices, you'll enjoy an expansive view of the sea. The high, vaulted ceilings, traditional wooden awnings, and ceiling fans maximize the cooling Atlantic breezes coming over the mountains behind you. A beautiful wooden staircase takes you through gardens and down to a secluded beach with soft black sand.
Amenities include Internet access, a washer/dryer, and a grill on the patio.
The beautiful and innovatively designed gardens were developed by Julie Toll, who has won many awards in England, including 4 Gold and 2 Silver awards at the famous Chelsea Flower Show. Her special interest is the use of native species, and environmentally-sound landscaping. Secluded on our private acreage, you'll hear only the sounds of nature: the wind in the banana trees, the birds, the crickets, and the waves on the shore of the virtually private beach. (While all beaches are public property on Nevis, the only way to get to this beach is down our stairway.) The 360-degree views provide fabulous sunrises and sunsets, and the passing spectacle of the changing clouds all day long. This is a great place to get away from it all, and write, paint, play music, or just relax.
Black Sand Cove has a Facebook page with dozens of photos, including photos and recommendations by guests, guest reviews, and information about what's going on on Nevis. You don't have to be a Facebook user to see it:
just put facebook.com/blacksandcove in your browser.
On the sides of Mt. Nevis, the now-quiet volcano, are tropical forests with near-rainforest vegetation. Our comprehensive guest information books give recommendations for our favorite restaurants and activities, with details about where to go and how to get there. With temperatures in the 80's year-round, guest sometimes tell us they regret having to ever leave!
Tim and I bought this home to use for vacations, family gatherings, and eventually for retirement. People who have stayed at many rental homes in the Caribbean describe ours as one of the best equipped they've seen. That's because we spend quite a lot of time there ourselves. We designed the kitchen so that more than one person has convenient space to work together, because we like to cook in teams when a large family group gathers. Every room in the light, airy house has delightful views. We planned the swimming pool with broad, shallow steps to make it user-friendly for parents playing in the water with young children. With an additional cottage, close by but entirely separate and not visible from the house, a larger group of 8-12 can be comfortable, so it's a great place for an extended family get-together. If Tim ever felt ready to retire, we would spend more of the winter here ourselves. Maybe later in our lives...
Linda purchased this house in 2002
Nevis is a small island, popular with those who seek a comparatively undeveloped tropical island to enjoy nature, hiking, swimming, and the wonderful views. Hiking in the rainforest is a popular activity. Knowledgeable guides are available to take adventurous hikers to the top of the volcano. Horseback riding and biking are available, and deep sea-fishing, sailing, scuba, and windsurfing are popular activities. There are art galleries and 2 museums. Information about activities and restaurants is waiting for you in our guest information binder. Black Sand Cove is on Facebook, with lots more photos of the property and of Nevis. Guests have posted their reviews, recommendations, and this own photos. No need to be a Facebook participant to see the Black Sand Cove Facebook page. Just put
facebook.com/blacksandcove in your browser.
One of our guests, who grew up on a different nearby island, declared our garden the most beautiful in the Caribbean. We just use simple plants, largely native species, local plants that thrive in the dry, sunny, seaside location. Native hardwoods like logwood, sandbox tree, and wild almond, and majestic royal palms: these are main features. The main reason for the engaging and delightful appeal is the inspired talent of Julie Toll, a well-known landscape designer based in Britain. And the setting itself is charming: sea in front, mountain behind. There's plenty to do on Nevis, but some of our guests tell us that once they get here, they don't feel motivated to leave very much for other places. They'd rather just hang around and enjoy Black Sand Cove.
Kaitlyn, age 13, wrote in our guestbook: "Black Sand Cove is a wonderful place to stay, from the pool, to the garden to the beach, everything is just so-o-o beautiful. I had a wonderful time, and I do not want to leave at all. My best memories are when my family and me spent time in the pool together and when we met the funniest, cutest and nicest taxi driver named TC. She is VERY fun. When we walked down to the beach, the sand is so warm and soft on your feet. We caught some little hermit crabs and let them walk on our hands. I loved Doggie and Adolfo, they were both so sweet. I love how the garden looks, and when I am exploring in the gardens I feel like a detective. I hope to come back very very soon!!!! P.S. The house is beautiful."
Nevis is a small island, comparatively undeveloped, and off-the-beaten-track. Nature, hiking, swimming, birding, enjoying the rainforest and the fabulous views, and just relaxing: these are popular activities. Nevis has lots of nice restaurants, but if you're looking for casinos, nightlife, and shopping, you need a different island. For a delightful natural environment, on a comparatively undeveloped island, we recommend Nevis!

...after months of looking (well nothing much came up in the summer), and several offers put in on other places. Most everyone seems to have a problem somewhere on the road to the mortgage. We hit our bump when the underwriter rejected the bank's appraisal. This was about a week before our originally scheduled close, and we were out of the mortgage contingency period. The new appraisal by the underwriters was 10% less than the original one. We went to a mortgage broker and got a mortgage in 2 weeks, with the house appraised at the original level. (A house around the corner, same size, age, etc but without a garage, went for the same price a few months ago, so we're pretty confident on the value; our area is in a city where if you wander a few blocks in the wrong direction, prices fall off the cliff.) Anyway, it seemed like everyone we talked to who had recently purchased had a wacky story about their mortgage or close. Here are a few summaries: It's a wonder anyone can get a mortgage these days! |

Happy for you! |

Two days before we closed in July the mortgage underwriter decided the roof wasn't satisfactory after all -- despite their positive appraisal weeks earlier -- and needed complete replacement before they'd approve (!). We were making a strong 35% down offer, so the bank switched us to an in-house loan instead. Who knows what might have happened otherwise. It's amazing how these folks like to push it until the very last moment and leave buyers completely dangling in the wind, isn't it? Ugh. Congrats on your new house! |

If I was loaning my money to people to buy homes, I would be strict as hell too. Let's not forget what is really happening here... you are asking someone that does not know you to loan you hundreds of thousands of dollars. It seems as though jumping through a few hoops is a minor inconveinence to be asked of. |

Top 5 fabulous flower arranging tips
You don't have to be green fingered or a professional florist to create beautiful floral arrangements. Follow our simple tips and you'll be able to create stunning displays for your home in no time at all...
1. Before placing flowers in vase, cut the stem at an angle using a sharp floral cutter or scissors. A fresh cut will help the stem absorb water and last longer once in the vase. Always cut the stems longer than you need to begin – you can always trim them later on when you start the arrangement.
2. Keep as much foliage and leaves away from the stems and don't let them fall or sit in the water. This will prevent the growth of bacteria and lengthen the life of the blooms.
3. Take some thin sticky tape and create a criss cross grid across the mouth of the vase. This creates sections for you to insert your flowers and prevents them from flopping to one side or over the rim.
4. Fill your vase with water and start arranging the flowers – use the taller flowers in the centre and use the larger more 'in bloom' flowers around the sides. Check your vase from all angles and use smaller flowers to flesh out the arrangement. You will notice that the trimmed stems that you cut at the same angle will give a uniformed and professional look. To get the best results mix multiple types of flowers, colours and shapes this gives the display texture and drama.
5. Add one or two drops of bleach to the water in the vase to slow down the bacteria growth. Change the water every two days to help preserve the life of the flowers.
Although we love the scent of fresh flowers, you may prefer the colour and arrangements from Peony's artificial flowers, on promotion from Saturday 1 June at ACHICA.

The Seattle Times
Anyone up for a 21-bun salute?
Mark Roberts, whose streaking credits include a Super Bowl, the Ryder Cup and Pamplona's Running of the Bulls among 518 events, says he's ready to keep his clothes on.
"I'm retiring," the 48-year-old Brit told the London Independent, "but I want to do one last mass streak with hundreds or thousands of people ...
"I put a message on my website, but I only got one or two people answering it. And I'm pretty sure one was a policeman."
Baseball headlines
• At TheOnion.com: "Cubs, Absence From World Series agree to 4-year extension."
• At SportsPickle.com: "Winded pitchers and catchers to call it a day."
Rolled Tide
Four Alabama football players have been arrested in connection with two on-campus robberies.
Investigators had no trouble figuring the football angle: One suspect saw hands in the air and immediately broke into a touchdown dance.
He's a 12th man
And then there is the Raiders fan who refuses to take off his Kenny Stabler jersey.
He heard it's the Year of the Snake.
String break
Among the top 10 questions on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit-model application, from CBS's David Letterman:
• "Will you keep your mouth shut if we lose a couple girls to shark attacks?
• "Are you willing to kiss a tubby guy for a Super Bowl commercial?
• "How would Brent Musburger describe you?"
Bit of drama
The Canadiens' Max Pacioretty says the Maple Leafs' Mikhail Grabovski bit him on the arm in Toronto's 6-0 win Saturday night.
Or as it's known in puck circles, channeling his inner Mad Dog Madigan.
Talking the talk
• Mark Roberts, to The Independent, on giving up streaking: "It's addictive, making people laugh and seeing them on their feet, cheering. I need something else for the adrenaline. I might take up skydiving."
• Comedy writer Alan Ray, on what the game and the concession stands have in common on NBA All-Star weekend: "Overpriced hot dogs."
• TNT's Conan O'Brien, on the NFL's best hope to avoid another blackout at next year's Super Bowl in New Jersey: "Keeping Chris Christie away from his microwave."
• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) World-Herald, on the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am combining pro athletes with amateurs: "It's the same basic idea as the Charlotte Bobcats' roster."
Name game
The University of Miami is mulling a name change for its Alex Rodriguez Baseball Park in light of the latest HGH allegations against the Yankee slugger.
To what, Centaur Field?

Author Alain de Botton shares a brilliant insight about his time working in a highly unusual environment.
Author Alain de Botton shares a brilliant insight about his time working in a highly unusual environment, and how such spaces can actually be more condusive to quality work than "official" offices and workplaces. He explains to the Herman Miller Lifework blog:
"The best place I ever worked was Heathrow Terminal 5, where I had a desk right in the middle of the departures hall. I was invited to the airport to be a Writer in Residence (and later wrote a book about the experience, A Week at the Airport). The terminal turned out to be an ideal spot in which to do some work, for it rendered the idea of writing so unlikely as to make it possible again. Objectively good places to work rarely end up being so; in their faultlessness, quiet and well-equipped studies have a habit of rendering the fear of failure overwhelming. Original thoughts are like shy animals. We sometimes have to look the other way – towards a busy street or terminal – before they run out of their burrows.


text: Back on plan the last few days after about 3 weeks of so-so eating. And, I busted out my Tae-Bo Cardio DVD today and huffed and puffed my way through the whole 45 minutes! :carrot: I love Tae-Bo but some of the stances are a little hard to figure out and you don't really have time to stand there and make sure you're doing it right! Oh well, I figure as long as I'm moving it doesn't matter if I'm doing it just right. I am definately a person that needs to work out in the privacy of my own home! What videos do you guys like?

This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2013) |
BANDIT1SM & 123KLAN is a street-wear industry that has around for almost 2 decades. Its unique style and bold design are world-wide known and respected by major brands such as Adidas, Carhartt WIP, Converse, Dissizit, Ecko Unltd, Footlocker, Fubu, Hurley, Johnny Cupcakes, LRG, Majestics, Mighty Healthy, Mishka, Neff Head, Nike, Plan B, Reebok, Stussy, The Seventh Letter, Vans, Young and Reckless and Zoo York. After many years of selling world wide exclusively online, the French duo (Scien and Mrs. Klor) open Bandit-1$m to wholesale and launch the brand on the market with seasonal collections. Based in Montréal Canada, Bandit-1$m is proud to get all their T-shirts and Snapbacks made in North America.
The brand was founded by a French graffiti duo husband and wife Scien and Klor in 1992. Since 1994 the crew have also worked in graphic design, inspired by the work of Neville Brody, and started to apply it to their graffiti (and vice versa).[clarification needed] They describe their art as 'when street knowledge meets technology and graffiti melds with graphic design'. Dean, Sper, Skam, Meric, and Reso 1 are the other crew members.
Now based in Montréal, Canada, 123Klan's studio specializes in character illustration, branding and toy design.
They have had exhibitions worldwide, including Lille, Dunkerque, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Paris, Brussels, London, Eindhoven, Roma, Munich, Barcelona, New York City, Singapore, and Zurich.[1]
According to JUXTAPOZ "Bandit-1$M was brought to life in 2007 by the creative minds of 123KLAN. Founded by Scien and Mrs Klor, its name echoes their evolution: first renowned for their graffiti pieces, they became sought after for their signature style and strong designs. Graffiti being considered vandalism, their way of making a living out of criminal acts is known as "banditisme", banditry. The "1$M" part, besides referring to dirty money, is a twisted version of the "123" from 123KLAN. Placed under the sign of authenticity and uncompromising style, it mixes bold designs and smart messages in an array of catchy colors. Tees are the main subject, but the Bandit-1$M way of life actually extends to every facet of your daily routine, via hats, stickers, toys, posters, wall design and lots more," 2010.
"French graffiti crew 123Klan also known as husband and wife duo Scien and Klor, have spent the past two decades creating. From murals, to graphic design, toys, and street wear, they have made a name for themselves as incredible artists and have built quite the portfolio." COMPLEX MAGAZINE, 2013.
