Great book regarding history of settler's in the mid - western area of our country. Authur Timothy Egan provides actual names and circumstances.
Apr 15, 2011
Timothy Egan paints an arresting picture of the desperate times on the Great Plains during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Underlying the human tragedies are the environmental depredations brought on by greed and the "bubble" in the commodities markets for wheat during the years during and after World War I (through the boom times of the 1920s). The sod on the short-grass prairies was methodically plowed and stripped, and the region was planted as a monoculture of this annual crop--with nothing to hold the soil when the drought and winds came. Clear parallels can be readily seen with the recent "housing bubble" with its subprime mortgages and "derivatives" and the near-collapse of the world's monetary system in 2008.

When I began reading this book, I was unsure if the subject matter would hold my attention. Yet within the first 20 pages of the book, I was hooked. Timothy Egan is a master weaver of multiple storylines intertwined with facts and information to produce a hard-to-put-down work of historial significance. His is a cautionary tale and one that resonates loud and clear today.

How upright people looking to better themselves descended into hell at the urging of the government and real estate speculators. Illustrates how the absence of today's basic knowledge about agriculture drove those same people to consume the resources that would answer their dreams - the soil itself. Couldn't put this book down.

Another mistake that Nixon acknowledged was his decision, just before he faced voters for a second term in 1972, to support automatic cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for all Social Security recipients. He told me the change was justified at the time but made federal-budget restraint much more difficult when inflation accelerated later in the 1970s.
But my major memory of that dinner was that, despite occasional regrets, Nixon remained quite proud of his domestic achievements, which expanded the welfare and bureaucratic states. Indeed, the record is clear. As Joan Hoff observed in Nixon Reconsidered, her book seeking to rehabilitate Nixon with liberals:
From the first to the last of the Nixon budgets –1970 through 1975 — spending on human resource programs exceeded spending for defense for the first time since World War II. . . . Funding for social welfare services under Nixon grew from $55 billion in 1970 to almost $132 billion in 1975, making him (not President Johnson) the "last of the big spenders" on domestic programs.
That is, until Barack Obama.
Historians should consider Nixon's record beyond his use of the IRS to harass his enemies and his spying on domestic opponents. Some of his actions were useful (ending the terminally flawed draft) or visionary (a failed attempt to construct an anti-missile shield against nuclear attack). But viewed in its totality, his isn't the record of a conservative president. At best, it's the record of a progressive Republican who, in the end, didn't view conservatism as a valid governing philosophy — even though it was the basis of the republic created by the Founding Fathers.
As we mark Nixon's centenary, we cannot celebrate him either as a conservative or as someone who respected the rule of law. When David Frost grilled Richard Nixon in a 1977 interview about the former president's role in the Watergate cover-up, they had this exchange:
Frost: "Are you really saying the president can do something illegal?"
Nixon: "I'm saying that when the president does it, it's not illegal!"
That was simply an unacceptable attitude from someone who took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

Stewart Walters just missed out on posting Glamorgan's first century of the first-class season as the Welsh county ended the third day on 303-6 in Cardiff, giving them a lead of 189 over Essex.
Walters made 98 to follow up his first-innings 67, while captain Mark Wallace struck an unbeaten 61 as Glamorgan set up an intriguing final day to the Division Two clash.
Essex had resumed on Friday morning on 343-9 but their first innings lasted just three more balls, Graham Napier edging Michael Hogan to slip as he finished with career-best figures of 6-70.
Still, they held a useful 114-run lead after both sides had batted once and their position improved even further when David Masters struck with his second ball to remove Ben Wright.
North falls
Will Bragg looked in good touch until he went lbw to Ravi Bopara on 42 and before lunch Marcus North had become Master's second victim, leaving the score at 80-3.
Walters and Murray Goodwin combined after the break to wipe out Essex's lead, posting a half-century partnership before rain heralded an early tea.
Essex fought back briefly in the evening session as Glamorgan slumped from to 184-5 with the loss of Goodwin (42) and Allenby.
Glamorgan's lead was out to 120 when slow left-armer Tim Phillips snared the important wicket of Walters, who edged behind, leaving the batsman agonisingly short of a ton.
But Wallace, who reached his first half-century of the season from 90 balls, and Graham Wagg (32 not out) added 69 for the seventh wicket as the hosts reached stumps without any further losses.

Issue Evolution: A Data-Driven Learning Guide (ICPSR 301)
Principal Investigator(s): Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
Data-Driven Learning Guides are a collection of instructional exercises that can be used to enhance teaching of core concepts in the social sciences. This learning guide investigates the process of issue evolution by comparing partisan boundaries across several issues. Issue evolution refers to the process by which issues are introduced to the political realm and eventually become defined along partisan lines. The specific issues to be examined in this exercise concern the privatization of Social Security, the death penalty, same sex relationship rights, and stem cell research. Research questions that can be explored using this learning guide include: which political issues in the United States have "evolved" and which are still in the process of "evolving", why some political issues may evolve faster than others, how voters learn about party elites' positions on these political issues, and whether citizens ever diverge on the political issues before party elites. Crosstabulation and coefficients are used for the analyses.

Obama to gun-control foes: Examine your conscience; vigorous effort to implement new gun measures
Submitted by meekandmild on Mon, 01/14/2013 - 17:04"I'm confident that there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation and are within my authority as president," he said. "How we are gathering data, for example, on guns that fall into the hands of criminals and how we track that more effectively."
Obama vows vigorous effort to implement new gun measures
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Monday that he would formally present this week a list of "sensible, common sense steps" to reduce gun violence from Vice President Joe Biden and vowed to work vigorously to implement them.
Though the proposals have not been made public, a rough outline of what the president hopes to pursue is clear. Obama reiterated that he would support reinstating a ban on assault weapons, stricter controls on high-capacity ammunition clips, and stronger background checks.

Who knows what he'll try...
...but every time I read some pro-control article I shutter at the misuse of gun terminology..."assault rifles", "clips"...ugh. Hard to debate someone who doesn't know one G-D-thing about what they are talking about.How can you make any headway with someone who cant differentiate, and doesn't care to, the difference in a FULLY AUTOMATIC gun and a SEMI-AUTOMATIC gun? How many replays of Boyz n' the Hood do you think these dicks have watched, if they are adults calling a MAGAZINE a "clip"? Geez!
I'd rather have a bottle in front o' me than a frontal lobotomy

Examine your conscience???!!!
This coming from the man who regularly sends drones to kill children!
The hypocricy of our "leaders" is staggering in its depth.
What a sham!
I wish someone would throw this up in his face but, he knows.
What a complete ASS he is! But, not just him...ALL of them!
Examine our conscience, indeed. Examine it as we kneel before a mass grave, right obombya?
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...

I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. |

This recipe provides an authentic mexican flavor, and a fresher taste than any store bought salsa. It is easiest to prepare with a hand chopper - a blender may be used, but be careful not to make the tomatoes too saucy.
servings4 cups
6 Roma tomatoes (important)3 Jalapeno peppers
1/4 to 1/2 sweet or red onion
1 lime
2 or 3 cloves of garlic
One bunch of cilantro (at least one cup when chopped)
Salt and Pepper to taste
optional - 1/4 yellow bell pepper and one ear yellow corn (preferably roasted)
Using a manually operated chopper, chop the tomatoes until slightly chunky. Try to avoid getting them too saucy or allowing them to foam up. Place the tomatoes in a bowl. Press or chop the garlic. Place the remaining ingredients in the chopper. Use only the top leafy portion of the cilantro, and remove the seeds from the jalapenos for milder salsa. If it is to hot for your taste, add more tomatoes or just a pinch of sugar.my notes

Real-World OpenGL Benchmarks
Quake III Arena
Quake III Arena is a real-world OpenGL benchmark that we have been using here at TweakTown for quite a while now because it has proven itself to be one of the best gaming benchmarks around to compare a range of different products.
MSI takes this first in the Q3A test with Gigabyte a close second and Soyo a very close third
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek Voyager is also a real-world OpenGL benchmark. Based on the Quake III Arena engine, this game is an OpenGL master utilizing DirectX 8. We also apply the new Opt3D patch to allow for the use of Hardware T&L's use as well as new optimizations for AMD Athlon XP and Pentium 4 SSE2.
MSI again has taken first place with Gigabyte and Soyo tied for second place. Some very powerful boards here!

Last year when we had our first Investor Day the positive feedback we received was around the idea of not only the presentation but giving investors and analysts an idea of how we think about the world, how we think about our investments, how we think about our management and that's what we will try to do with our presentation today as much as delivering information is to try to show you guys how we think about problems and problem solving and so that is one our purposes.
Also as I go through the presentation what I could be doing is talk about the replacement cost of our assets in the industry, valuations that have been achieved on hotel companies and past cycles and along the way I am to be doing the math of that is that if that same valuation occurred, our stock price would we X and I just wanted to mention that because you know sometimes some of them get the wrong idea and think that someone up here saying that our stock price will be X but I am just doing the math along the way and so please keep that in mind when I talk about some potential stock prices that might occur to our stock that is just. It's just extending if what happens in past cycles and the like happens this time around.
So let's get started here. Here's a few main points that I would like you to walk away from this presentation. First is that there's a still a significant upside in this lodging cycle. The lodging cycle goes through very long phases of five to seven to 10 years at a time and we are about a third of the way through this up cycle which means that there is a lot of room left in the cycle for an improvement in the fundamentals and likewise usually an increase in stock prices and valuations as well. So we think that the fundamentals for the industry are very strong and will remain strong for some time.

AP News
Activists push path to citizenship, nothing less
WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigration activists say they won't settle for anything short of a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in a bill emerging in Congress.
Some House Republicans have suggested a compromise that would let the country's 11 million illegal immigrants gain legal status and work in the U.S. — but not become citizens.
On a conference call Friday, activists said that is unacceptable because it would create second-class residents.
Angelica Salas is with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. She says people should be able to choose citizenship if they want and not be stuck in legal limbo.
House Republicans uncomfortable with letting illegal immigrants become citizens — something some criticize as amnesty — suggest legalization instead as a middle ground.

Steve Jobs Can't Save Us
- Apple
Steve Jobs, who will be celebrated everywhere today for the great farsightedness of his tablet, is, curiously, an old fart.
He's a guy who loves his machines. He's a tinkerer. A guy who's most at home in a hardware store—which is really what an Apple store is, just souped up and redecorated.
He's also, in the way of old guys, an authoritarian. He wants to be stubbornly in control (even when that's not possible). Indeed, one might fairly conclude from any interaction in an Apple store, that he is, too, rather a totalitarian—Orwellianly so. That old ad, Apple's 1984 attack on IBM, is, in hindsight, about itself—it's Jobs and Apple who have megalomaniacal dreams of creating machines that control the world.
Jobs has stubbornly—or fetishistically—bucked the most fundamental trends in technology and information, that the future is not hardware (it hasn't been for three generations), it's software.
Today's announcement of a new device is yet another effort to apply the added value of Steve's fetishism to a consumer electronic product. The simplicity of that business model is somewhat obscured by Job's crafty plan to couple his new machine to lots of old media products. Or, really, the smoke here is that lots of old media types, hoping that Jobs' device will save their business—as though old media's problem is just that it needed a different computer—are now proclaiming Jobs, once again, as the man who understands it all.

growing season
growing season
Period of the year, also called frost-free season, during which growing conditions for native vegetation and cultivated crops are the most favourable. It usually becomes shorter as distance from the equator increases. In equatorial and tropical regions the growing season ordinarily lasts all year; at higher latitudes (e.g., the tundra), it may last as little as two months or less. It also varies according to elevation above sea level: higher elevations tend to have shorter growing seasons.

Corpus de Sitges Feast 2014
From all the Corpus Sitges events, the most important and expected one is the Cap de la Vila Carpet, a carpet which has thousands of carnations that will be displayed in Jardines del Retiro. Moreover, to this great carpet, the streets of Sitges will be filled with many other carpets on June 22, where up to 35 streets will show carpets built from carnations, rice, grass, other flowers and other materials. These carpets are one of the most famous elements from the Corpus Sitges Feast. But these are not the only floral motifs of these festivities in Sitges, since you can also see and admire whenever you walk through the streets of Sitges, the wonderful balconies participating in the Balconies Floral Ornamentation Contest.
On the other hand, one of the also highly anticipated moments of these dates is the traditional Procesión del Santisimo Sacramento (Procession of the Blessed Sacrament), where first communion children together with parishioners, el Drac, el Aguila (the Eagle) and other characters will walk through the streets of the town. And we cannot forget of L'Ou com Balla, an original tradition of the fifteenth century, which is about making dance the whole shell of an emptied egg on suppliers, perfectly decorated, in the cloisters of different constructions, in this case, in the Palau Maricel, which I talked about in the previous article, and other sites such as Palau del Rei Moro or Museu Romantic Can-Llopis. If you want you can check by following this link, the full program of the festivities of Corpus Christi 2014 that from Sitges Hotel we hope you enjoy with us.

NASA Teams With School/Theatre To Teach Students Science/Math
HAMPTON, Va., March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Some elementary school students will get a unique hands-on science lesson thanks to a partnership between NASA's Langley Research Center, the Hampton city schools and CineBistro, a local movie/entertainment complex.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO )
More than 140 fourth and fifth graders from Kraft Elementary School – a school named after the NASA engineer who was America's first human space mission flight director – are scheduled to be at CineBistro in Hampton, March 20, to learn more about Newton's laws of motion. Their lesson will include not only how those laws, which form the basis for classical mechanics, apply to landing a rover safely on Mars, but also how they can apply to recreational activities such as bowling.
Reporters are invited to join the students during their lesson, which starts shortly after 9:30 a.m., Wed., March 20 at CineBistro in Peninsula Town Center. For the latest information contact Sandy Berglund at 864-0629.
"A Mars Science Laboratory engineer from NASA Langley will be broadcast on the big screen in one of the movie theatres, through a connection with NASA Education's Digital Learning Network," said Bonnie Murray, NASA Langley education specialist. " David Way was the lead of the local team that helped guide the rover through entry, descent and landing. He will help teach students how angles, geometry and Newton's laws of motion play a role in sending spacecraft to other planets." But what part does bowling play? That's the interactive, hands-on part of the lesson. Digital Learning Network cameras will be positioned in CineBistro's bowling alley area. Three students will take turns bowling while the group in the theatre watches and takes note of their performance. A more experienced bowler will then take over the lane, so the entire group of 4 th and 5 th graders can assess the difference between the amateurs and a professional. The student bowlers will join their classmates in the theatre and NASA educators will guide all of them through a lesson about the principles of Newton's Laws and angles in geometry. The professional bowler will explain how those principles make a difference in increasing the chances of getting a "strike," and the NASA engineer will reinforce the concepts with the out-of-this-world example of a rover landing on Mars.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hot Docs Review: Fightville
Hot Docs 2011 By Lauren Flanagan on April 30, 2011 | Be the First To CommentAnyone who thinks mixed martial arts is just a vicious, bloodthirsty sport where grown men beat the crap out of each other for fun might think differently after seeing Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein's Fightville, an in-depth and beautifully shot look at the world of MMA through a group of fighters, trainers and promoters in Southern Louisiana. Fightville follows a cast of characters in and around the Gladiators Academy in Lafayette, a small local gym where philosophy-spouting veteran UFC fighter, "Crazy" Tim Credeur trains amateur and rising professional fighters. Far away from the bright lights of the big time promotions like the UFC, the movie takes a look at what essentially amounts to the minor leagues of MMA – where guys are fighting to prove themselves and learn what it takes to become champions. Glamorous it ain't (the fighters have to mop up their own blood after fights) but what it lacks in luster it makes up for in heart.
A Quick and Dirty Guide to Choosing a Movie at SXSW
Features By Scott Beggs on March 10, 2011 | Be the First To CommentSo you've eaten at Pita Pit and Best Wurst (because there's nothing wrong with two lunches) and you're scoping out theaters ready to get more movies on, but you have no idea what you're going to see. That teary indie drama or that ridiculous sci-fi comedy? You don't know do you? And you can't figure it out on your own for some reason. Fortunately, we've created this handy guide to help you in your time of duress. Use it wisely. There's no chance it'll send you to the porno theater across the highway, so if you end up there, it's on you.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I purchased the Bose Acoustimass 6 Series III system last fall for use in my family room. I originally purchased the Cambridge Sound Works MovieWorks 208 Home Theater Speaker System, but when I unpacked everything, I realized that the components were too large for use in my viewing area, which is small. I had checked out the Bose speakers once before, and I gave them a try. I bought the Bose Acoustimass 6 Series III from a vendor on Ebay, and I got a great price for them. It was very easy to set up the system and integrate it to my TV, DVD, and receiver. I have it connected to my Sony Wega TV, Sony receiver, and Sony DVD player. It is not the most high tech-setup, but it does a great job of delivering a wide variety of sounds, from deep bass to high treble. My daughter enjoys her Disney movies, and my wife and I enjoy our Jerry Bruckheimer films.
Amount Paid (US$): $700

I bought this on a whim. seriously amazing. The color is gorgeous a true mlbb shade. I really don't like buying mlbb shades usually because I find them pretty boring and don't see the point of wearing something so close to my own lip color. However, Belize makes my lips look more sophisticated and put together without competing with my smokey eye makeup. The formula is long lasting but not overly sticky. I wouldn't say it's moisturizing though. This is great to wear during the work week but I don't think it's my favorite weekend lip gloss. Love it, would flatter anyone

the price of this gloss is equivalent to that of chanel's glossimer. is it worth it? YES. as a matter of fact i like this much much more than chanel's glossimers which are very sheer in my opinion. the texture of nars' belize is just right - it's not sticky at all and oh, the color is GORGEOUS. totally beat dior's addict glosses (which i also fancy a lot) and definitely chanel. YOUR LIPS BUT BETTER.

Really enjoying Belize -- my lips are pretty pigmented so this gloss really didn't show too much color payoff. It basically just made my lips super glossy with gold sparkles. It would probably look bomb over a nude lipstick. I would recommend although sometimes I do catch a whiff of that strange chemical plastic smell. Aaaghhhh!

I love Nars lip glosses. Belize is, on me, a my lips but better color. I only need a touch to color my whole lips. This brightens up my face and with Nars the staying power is much better than most lip glosses. I will keep buying this and Turkish Delight as long as they continue to make them.

this is by far the best lip gloss i have come across. i love love the shade (NC30 for reference), and cool tones seem to suit me better than warm. i also have pigmented lips and this tones them down sufficiently while delivering visible color. perfect level of shine, so many glosses these days look way to wet and shiny. it also has a very nice non-sticky texture which is very hard to find. nars nailed it with this one! will continue to purchase this as long as they make it..

Beautiful pinkish nude color, my basic go to gloss. This is perfect for work everyday or for going out at night with heavier eye makeup. A bit pricey at $24 but worth the investment. All the pigment without the stickiness of a MAC gloss.

This, is one of my favorite lip glosses, aside with MAC Viva Glam 2 Lip glass. The color doesn't look like much in the tube, but is the most beautiful dusty rose I've seen!
I'm depressed I lost it, and at $24 a pop, I probably have to settle with the rest 3109483149031 of my lip glosses.

This is one of my favorite lip glosses! For reference, I'm an NC 30 (medium olive skin). When I looked at the swatches online for this shade I thought it would be this dark ugly color and then when I went into Sephora to see what it looks like in person it looks like this chocolate-mauve color.

Hm... this is a tough one, because I adore the colour of this gloss. I really wanted to give it five stars because I can honestly say that it's one of my favorite ever lip colours. It's a beautiful natural/nude colour that's milky and has the slightest gold flecks that gives the gloss dimension. However, nars lipglosses do have a reputation for going bad after a while, and the one that I bought smells really awful. I'd just got it and just as I'd first opened it, I noticed the smell. I can't bring myself to use it because it smells so bad. It's such a shame because it's a gorgeous color and it's quite pricey as well. But, I think I will repurchase this because of the color, and hope that this one doesn't smell funny.

Differences between House, Senate funding bills
A comparison of rival House and Senate bills to fund the government:
The Associated Press
A comparison of rival House and Senate bills to fund the government:
House bill:
-Funds federal agencies through Dec. 15 at current spending levels. The rate equates to annual agency spending of $986 billion, and includes the impact of this year's sequester, or automatic spending cuts.
-Delays for a year the requirement that individuals and businesses with fewer than 50 full-time employees buy insurance under President Barack Obama's 2010 health care law.
(Dropped from the bill were earlier provisions repealing a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices like pacemakers and scanning machines, and letting some employers with religious or moral objections decline to provide contraception coverage.)
Senate bill:
-Funds federal agencies through Nov. 15 at the same level as the House bill.
-Makes no changes in 2010 health care law.

A few days ago I mentioned that we have a tsukubai in our garden, but, because we never have a Tea Ceremony, we have a bird bath there in place of a hand-washing basin or chozubachi.
Somebody has just asked me if the bird bath 'looks' Japanese. I think the answer to that one is that there's Japanese hand-washing basin that looks very much like our bird bath - and vice versa - |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well now, I place new basins under bird feeders to encourage droppings on the new stone. My favorite is a finch feeder with black thistle seed (less of a weed problem). After moss begins to grow, the bird feeder can be removed. Although meant as a garden element to be a true chozubachi, I don't think I would ever rinse my mouth from these! A recently installed Japanese style garden is viewed from a bedroom deck. A double square basin with tsukubai seems to draw every bird species in the neighborhood with its subtle drip. Visitors are entranced watching the water trickle down and birds drinking from the basin, eyeing each other in a mutual temporary truce, with the more timid birds drinking from the tiny stream of water coming from the moss on the side of the basin. |
Don, you've given me an idea. I'm going to reposition our bird feeders. |
- Posted by bahamababe z4 VT (My Page) on Wed, Oct 26, 05 at 16:29
If the water isn't clean it is likely going to degrade the appearance of your Japanese garden. This, I think, is one of the main problems with birdbaths. They're pretty filthy. |
Bahamababe - That's very true, especially after a flock of Starlings decides to use them. However, with regular attention they stay quite fresh & clean & we're often told that regular & meticulous maintenance is part of what Japanese Gardening's about, so it needn't be thought of as drudgery. Moreover, my wife is rather keen on the local Squirrels having clean water to drink, so I'm not allowed to forget... On the other hand, with all the ominous things we that we hear about migratory birds being all set to infect millions of us with bird 'flu, we should maybe add some sort of disinfectant to the water until the threat passes..... Herb |
Herb. it was you who said you had a birdbath, not a basin because you had no need for it. Bird bath usually attract birds, no? Bahama, I said I used this to help establish a patina and culture that would support moss, then removed the feeder. Nevertheless, the birds will come to all basins they can, so Herb's last word cleans up this subject. Clean it often if it is used as a traditional basin. It is absolutely imparative basins used for traditional washing and rinsing, as well as their drain stones, be kept imaculately clean. |

Should I change his schedule?
DS is 5, almost 6 and goes to bed usually between 7-7:30pm and it usually takes him a good 30 minutes to actually go to sleep, sometimes longer if he has to get up to go potty. For some reason he always has to poop at bed time. When he finally does get to sleep he will usually stay a sleep for 11-12hrs. He gets up anywhere between 7-8am most mornings. On days DH and I both work (3-4 days a week), he gets up at 4:30am and I take him to a neighbor's house where he goes back to sleep for a few hours. He has school at 9am, and gets home at 3:30pm. With this schedule there is only about 4 hours a day we get to see him when he gets home. During that time we play, work on homework type stuff, eat dinner and if we have time watch a show or something. Sometimes I feel like we should give him a later bed time so we have more time, but I don't know if that would be good. His body already has him sleeping 11-12 hours, which tells me he needs it. If we put him to bed much later, we would have to wake him up and he wouldn't get as much sleep, especially on days I have to wake him up early. I just don't know if I should sacrifice the amount of sleep he gets in order to have more time to do stuff with him.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
I know all kids are different, but dd is 6 and goes to bed at 9pm and gets up (by herself) at 6:30am.
That's just part of having a child in school, they are there most of the day. But that's why we have weekends, holidays and vacations.
Instead of denying him sleep, I would just take advantage of the time you do have with him.

Recent Deerfield Beach Reviews
Convenient & Spotless
My wife and I stayed here for 2 weeks in January, 2015. The location is less than a 10 minute walk to the beach and about 15 minutes to the center of Deerfield Beach's shops and restaurants. The 1 bedroom has a large flat screen TV in the living room and another in the bedroom. Great for when you want or need a little alone time or to watch a different show. The apartment was spotless and had a fully equipped kitchen, and all the bathroom and bedroom amenities that you need for a very restful stay. The pool is immediately outside your front door and the parking is less than 20 steps. All in all we enjoyed our stay so much that we immediately booked another month for next year. It's difficult for me to imagine anyone being disappointed with the Summerwinds.
Clean, well maintained, and great location.
Our one bedroom suite was spacious enough for two people, newly renovated,
and immaculate. Stefanie, the manager was very pleasant and helpful.
We have recommended Turtle Beach to friends and we plan on staying here
again in the future. Fabulous location! Beach is across the street and there are
casual and fine restaurants within a 10 minute walk.

"I tried this recipe today to test making popovers for Easter. They are perfect popovers just like I remember from my childhood. I agree with another poster that 38 minutes is perfect. Light and airy on the inside and a nice crunch on the outside. I used a regular muffin tin and they came out fine. Now I would probably invest in a popover tin..."
