Gay athlete
Jason Collins coming out and announcing that he is gay did not take courage at all. In this day and age, people are more accepting of one's sexual orientation. So let's give it a rest. Collins is gay: whoopty-do.
Let's be fair
I truly hate SRS with the furloughs. I hate when anybody loses their job, but I want to know why all these Congressmen and Senators and all these people who represent us weren't speaking out when the teachers had furloughs? Nobody said a word when the teachers were being furloughed, and they're paid a heck of a lot less than people working at SRS. So, let's be fair about things: If they're going to speak up for SRS, they need to speak for our teachers and everyone else, even if you work on a trash truck. It needs to be equal.
Concealed carry
To the person who is against concealed carry in Applebee's. Has it ever crossed your mind that you could be protected in a public place by someone with a CWP? Crazy people do crazy things. You obviously have never been the victim of a violent crime.
For those owners of eating and drinking establishments that serve alcohol: If you allow concealed weapons in your place of business, please display this fact in a large, unambiguous sign at the entrance. There are many potential customers, probably many more than you realize, who will choose to go elsewhere for a meal or a drink.
Breaking the law
Saw an interesting license plate outside the post office at Center South, "GOP NRA." This white Lexus also had various bumper stickers for Republican agendas. So, what was this citizen doing? Breaking the law by illegally parking in a no parking/standing zone. What a hypocrite.
Shortfall at SRS
Recent articles, including Mike Gellatly's front page article on May 4, claim that sequestration caused a $100 million shortfall at SRS. The shortfall at SRS was a known (and reported) issue at the start of the fiscal year, long before sequestration took effect. Why weren't our elected representatives working on the problem then?
Lots of kindness
This is just to say that there's still lots of kindness in this world. I was shopping at Belk in North Augusta on Monday afternoon, and I fainted. I had some of the best people to gather around me, watch over me and take care of me. I really appreciate all of them. The lady who prayed for me, the sales lady Sharon, the young man Julian – they were all just wonderful, and several others, whose names I didn't get. God bless you, and thank you very much.

At one point, he complained to his lawyer that his harsh treatment and conditions of confinement were driving him out of his mind. According to legal documents, he protested by smearing the inside of his cell with his own feces.
His case sparked a contentious debate over whether an American president has the power to order a legal US resident like Al-Marri – or even a US citizen – into indefinite, incommunicado detention by the military simply by designating that person an enemy combatant.
After years of litigation that issue is currently before the US Supreme Court, which is poised to hear Al-Marri's case in April. A decision would be expected by late June. But now, given Al-Marri's possible transfer to the criminal justice system, the Obama administration is expected to ask the high court to dismiss the case.
If granted, the action would leave undisturbed existing legal precedents in the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond upholding open-ended detentions of enemy combatants within US borders.
Al-Marri's lawyer, Jonathan Hafetz of the American Civil Liberties Union, says he will oppose any government motion to dismiss the case.

Palmetto Lawn Issues
Hey guys,
Don't know if this is the right area to ask this question but i have been having some problems with my Palmetto Lawn. I have attached some pictures to have a look at. I don't think its bugs as i have investigated the grass and cant see anything eating it. It has been very dry in QLD with really hot days which is the only thing i can think off that would cause any issues.
It was really green before i mowed it on the weekend and i thought i may have cut it too low?
I have just used a wetting agent and fertilised it over the last couple of days to see if i can get it to bounce back. Has anyone else had these issues and can shed some light on it?
It could be any of the things you mentioned . You won't necessarily see anything "eating" the lawn, if it's lawn grubs you may see some waspy things hovering round, but otherwise you need to lay out a bit of wet material - a hessian bag, or a bit of old towling, overnight. Not on the brown area, more towards the border with the green, as they would be moving on in search of roots. If you get up early in the morning and lift the bag you may find the curl grubs still up on the surface feeding, then you know what to do to spray.
Don't cut too short in this hot weather, you'll just burn the blades and expose the roots to sun or heat burn as well.
Also don't chuck fertilizer on it as a "cure-all" as you can just create more problems for re-growing roots.
Ditto water-saver, you really need to do this when it's wet and getting wetter, with rain.
Don;t know what area, the house walls look fresh, is it a new house? If so you might get some settling in probs from cement /foundations etc leaching into the ground, also sometimes town water can be quite heavily "chemical". I should test for lawn grubs first, and just try to keep up the water for a bit, one deep water then lessening, to harden it up gradually, and don't scalp it again
Well I'm at Tweed Heads and to be perfectly honest, your lawn's looking better than mine. I've been over sowing mine here and there with Sir Walter buffalo from Bunnings and I'm acutely aware there has been NO bloody rain this growing season: I've had to water the new stull nearly very day just to get it started. I agree with Allison, don't cut it too short, in fact I might suggest you don't cut it all until the rains come. Also, I wouldn't feed it either until then.
Hey guys thanks so much for the advice. We have had some heavy rains over the last 24 hours which i think is helping with the heat issue/water issue. Ive raised my mower blades by 2 spokes and will wait to see after the rain how its all going. From what i can see i think i may have cut it just a bit to short in the areas mention and the roots have copped a bit of a stinging.
Im going to lay off the fertiliser and just monitor it over the coming weekend and if i find any bug related issues give it a spray with some agent.
Thanks for all the help guys. Funnelweb, hopefully your Sir Walter gets a chance to sparkle after the rainds come. The Sir Walter/Palmetto breed of grass is a great thing for the kids to play on when its lush :)
Thanks again.
Thanks Bagsy, yeah I had a goodly drop last night too - 20 mils - which will help, hopefully in a few days we might get a drop more. The best advice is don't cut it too short, especially in the dry seasons, and only feed it when it's growing well, that is, during good rain seasons. I'd like to give mine a sprinkle of lawn food but I'll hang off until I see some positive change in the weather.
Good luck
There are two possible issues here – heat stress and poor mowing. Firstly: during hot days, the grass blades don't have enough moisture to endure the wear. Try watering it to encourage growth. Secondly, it might have something to do with your mowing pattern. Do not mow too low otherwise the soil will be directly exposed to the sun and thereby weakening the roots. Personally, I have Sir Walter and found it to be much more resilient to heat and drought.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
15 May 2014 01:18 GMT | Arts & Culture, Business & Economy, US & Canada, United States
The New York Times has abruptly replaced its executive editor, Jill Abramson, and named managing editor Dean Baquet to replace her at the top editorial post.
Abramson's departure was announced on Wednesday by the newspaper's publisher and chairman of its parent company, Arthur Sulzberger, and the paper's own report said: "The reasons for the switch were not immediately clear."
Abramson, the first woman to hold the newspaper's highest editorial position, and Baquet had both been in their current positions since September 2011.
"It is an honour to be asked to lead the only newsroom in the country that is actually better than it was a generation ago, one that approaches the world with wonder and ambition every day,'' Baquet said in a statement released by the newspaper.
Baquet, 57, received a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting in 1988, and will be the first African-American in the top editorial position. Sulzberger called Baquet the best qualified journalist to take on the job in the Times' newsroom.
Sulzberger told stunned staff members on Wednesday the appointment of Baquet "would improve some aspects of the management of the newsroom," according to his remarks obtained by Reuters news agency.
He did not elaborate on what those issues were but said they did not relate to the direction of the journalism or the paper's digital future.
"This is also not about any sort of disagreement between the newsroom and the business side over the critical principle of an independent newsroom," he said.
In its most recent quarter, the Times Co. saw overall advertising revenue rise for the first time in three years, jumping 3 percent to $158.7m.
The company's print and digital advertising rose compared with the same period a year ago.

Even you have a child at home that has free reign over a Smartphone or tablet; you may be paying exorbitant fees that your child is unknowingly buying. Such popular games such as Angry Birds, Zombie Takeover, Playmobil Pirates, and Racing Penguin are at first offered of charge. Once children begin playing with them, they are hit with pop up advertisements for so-called "In-App Purchases." or IAPs.

Keywords: Apps, tablets, Smartphones, children, surprise bills, parents
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - These features allow the characters being controlled by the youngsters to go further and deeper into the game.
Payments are then taken automatically from the credit cards of the adult owners of the tablet or Smartphone through an iTunes or Google account.
There is the expected "sticker shock." The first time a parent finds out about the purchases is when their credit card is rejected at a check-out or they find missing funds in their current account.
"We have heard of cases where parents have been hit with bills for hundreds of pounds as the apps are often linked to their card details through iTunes," the founder of parenting Web site Netmums, Siobhan Freegard says. "Often the bills aren't immediate and it takes days to find out they have been charged."
Apple accounts require users to input a password to clear any purchases - in theory. However, if the parent uses the password once, this creates a 15-minute window where the child can then make a series of purchases.
Even if things are above board, children who have become engrossed in a game will often pester their parents continuously to allow them to make purchases.
"App developers are not often altruistic," Spencer Whitman of app protection firm AppCertain says. "They often include in-app purchases hidden behind the free price tag. Either they offer a small amount of play, then charge for continued use; offer in-app purchases for more in-game content such as extra areas of play or upgrades; or they constantly interrupt game play to ask for in-app purchases."
The video-gaming universe is all too seductive for impressionable minds. "It's all too easy for our children to get sucked into games and, before you know it, they've racked up huge costs buying coins, berries and doughnuts," Justine Roberts, founder of Mumsnet says.
"You do need to keep an eye on your child's device settings and to keep your password for purchases private at all costs."
Executive director Richard Lloyd adds that "It's far too easy for children to run up huge bills on phone apps when most default settings allow 'in-app purchases' without asking for a confirmation or password.
"If your child has run up a huge bill without your knowledge, contact the app store or manufacturer, as you may be eligible for a refund."
Taking the bull by the horns, Apple says that "All iOS devices have built-in controls that give parents and guardians the ability to restrict access to content, such as internet access and age-rated content.
"Parental controls also give parents and guardians the option to turn off functionality, such as purchasing from iTunes, and the ability to turn off in-app purchases."

3" :-) I'm at Lowe's now and looking at tubing. Will 3/16" I'D 5/16" OD vinyl work? It's the OD I'm concerned with. Is that too thin?
Do you like vinyl flavor in your beer?
Don't buy that stuff. Buy some real barrier-lined beer tubing like Bevlex 200...
Agreed, or at least beverage grade vinyl.
Ok cool. Good to know. What are some good retailers for said beverage-grade tubing?
Sometimes the big box stores will have it, or other hardware stores. It should say "beverage tubing." Otherwise, check out your local homebrew shop or any of the big online ones. There are plenty of online sources that specialize in kegging, I'll recommend our sponsors Keg Connection or Birdman Brewing. If you are sensitive to plasticky flavors, I'll second the barrier tubing recommendation. Bevlex 200 or Accuflex Bev Seal Ultra are two popular ones. The barrier tubing usually has less resistance than standard vinyl, so you'll need more of it. I don't have experience with the Bevlex, but with the Accuflex you'll want 15-20 feet per tap.
Alright I'm on it. The lines in my kegerator now are Bevlex 200 and my LHBS sells it so I'm set. Should I buy 15 ft per tap and trim if necessary?
It's kinda frustrating that these draft towers come with lines that are far too short.

Samsung Galaxy S6 ActiveCompareThe Samsung Galaxy S6 Active is expected to have the same 5.1-inch screen that the regular Galaxy S6 is offering. Reportedly, the rugged version of Samsung's latest flagship handset will be powered by the same octa-core Exynos 7420 processor, offering a 16 MP rear camera, and a 5 MP front-facing camera. 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory should also be included. However, it's said that the Galaxy S6 Active will have a bigger battery (3500 mAh), measuring 146.9 x 73.6 x 8.8 mm - thus being a bit larger and thicker than both the S6 and S6 edge.+ View Specs

Rumor Buster: Is Disney Really Bringing the 'Star Wars' Original Theatrical Releases to Blu-ray?
Over the weekend, a report surfaced on ComicBook.com that Disney is planning on releasing the uncut, original theatrical releases of 'Star Wars' on DVD and Blu-ray before 'Star Wars: Episode 7' hits theaters. It's a great thought and one we (and many 'Star Wars' fans) would lov
Marvel to Release One Sequel and One Original Film Every Year
Earlier this week, Marvel announced their schedule through 2019 and it included...well, a lot of dates. So far, there are few titles actually announced, but Marvel president Kevin Feige at least has hinted at what we can expect by revealing that each year, for the next five years, will have one sequel and one original film
Comic-Con 2014: Warner Bros. Bringing 'Hobbit,' 'Mad Max' and 'Jupiter Ascending' Footage
With Comic-Con 2014 just over two weeks away, we're starting to get a very clear idea of what we'll be seeing in San Diego. Many of the TV panels have been announced and today comes our first confirmation of what to expect on the movie side. Warner Bros. have announced their Comic-Con plans and it will include brand new footage from 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,' 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 'Jupiter Ascending'!

'Batman vs. Superman' Gets an Official Title: Enter the 'Dawn of Justice'
For the past year or so, we've been calling 'Batman vs. Superman' 'Batman vs. Superman' only because we didn't have an official title. There were rumors of 'World's Finest' but nothing was ever confirmed as an official title for the film, but 'Batman vs. Superman' had a nice ring to it, so we went with that. N
'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Trailer: Apes Together Strong
The full 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' trailer has arrived, and it's a testament to how good this movie really looks that we all really know what's going to happen (it's called 'Planet of the Apes' not 'Planet of the Humans' for a reason), yet it's still incredibly suspenseful.

'Die Hard 6′ to Reunite Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson?
Let's be honest: the last two 'Die Hard' movies were almost unwatchable. There's little Fox could do to get us excited for a 'Die Hard 6' at this point, but what little there is to do, they're at least trying to do. Early reports suggest that Fox is working on a 'Die Hard 6' story that would reunite John McClane (Bruce Willis) and Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), the co-stars of the last good 'Die Hard' movie.

Pelican cases are excellent cases to protect your delicate gears,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pelican 1660 Case with Foam for Camera (Black) (Electronics)
Purchased 8 of these cases for work before any Amazon purchases got taxed in California.
Prices from Pelican or other authorized dealers were more expensive.
Saved $$$ due to taxes if we acquire them Pelican or their authorized dealers.
And more importantly, save the shipping costs as well as being an Amazon Prime member.

Super Easy Baked Ziti
As some of you know, I volunteer to feed the High School Marching Band during their band season. I don't pay for anything, just plan and prepare the meals. It is off season right now, but that just means I need to try new recipes in preparation for the fall!
I have been working on a Baked Ziti and think I have finally perfected it. My daughter said âÂÂMom - this tastes like the ones you buy at CostCoâ Bingo! LOL - I don't think she meant it as a compliment, but that was exactly the flavor I was going for. :-) This will cost a lot less, and seriously doesn't take much more time than throwing a ready-made one into the oven. BTW - my daughter likes the CostCo Ziti - it's just âÂÂold newsâ so in her mind - nothing to get excited about.
This can be tripled to go into the large foil serving pans, but I really want to try it in the Roaster Oven - I think it will work great which means this can be prepared off-site at competitions.
Baked Ziti with Meatballs
Serves 10-12
48 ounces of pasta sauce - I used Paul Newman's Sockarooni
16 ounces Low Fat Cottage Cheese
3 cups beef stock
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (2 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb penne pasta - uncooked
1 lb ready-made mini meatballs - I used Trader Joe's party meatballs
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl mix together the pasta sauce, cottage cheese, beef stock, half of the mozzarella (1 c) and half of the Parmesan cheese (1/4 c).
Toss the pasta and meatballs with the sauce and spread into a 13 x 9 inch pan. Cover tightly and bake for 1 hour.
Remove the cover and stir the contents. Sprinkle the remaining Mozzarella & Parmesan cheese on top and return to the oven. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
In Cook's Illustrated baked ziti recipe they used cottage cheese instead of ricotta - if I remember correctly it was because the cottage cheese retained moisture better. I once made 4 trays of Cook's ziti for a party and did two with homemade ricotta and two with cottage cheese. Honestly, I couldn't really tell the difference and I was really hoping that the extra effort for the ricotta would be rewarded with a better dish.
Jeri, I've been thinking of this recipe all night. It sounds like the perfect casserole for a crowd. I especially like the fact that you don't need to cook the pasta in advance. I've already saved it, and plan to use it next time we have a family gathering. My husband is on a salt-restricted diet, and the ingredients are easily substituted with low sodium versions.
I could use either homemade or Trader Joe's no-salt added marinara, no salt added beef broth, Safeway's no-salt cottage cheese, and fresh mozzarella (much lower in sodium than regular mozz). Instead of pre-cooked meatballs, I could use either ground beef or homemade Italian sausage. And have the shredded parm as an optional topping at the table.
Thanks for sharing this.
Re Cottage Cheese: On my previous attempts at trying to perfect this dish, I did use a 15 ounce container of Ricotta, but I thought it was too rich - so I was going to cut this in half for my next attempt. Then I read that some people substitute cottage cheese for ricotta and decided to try it. The extra moisture from the cottage cheese - a potential problem for some recipes - would be welcome in this dish because of the dried pasta. The cost did factor in as well since I need to feed 100 kids on a budget. So, I gave it a try and was very pleased with the results! I just hope I donâÂÂt get kids asking me what those white things are! IâÂÂll just tell them âÂÂcheeseâÂÂ. :-)
Shambo - I think it is a good one for a crowd. Just add Caesar salad, garlic bread, and fresh fruit - and you are good to go. I have Caesar Salad for a crowd dialed in - now I need to figure out garlic bread for a crowd. :-)
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I consider myself a novice cook, so I am really proud of this. :-)
Ok, thanks. My son will be making Eagle Scout in the fall, so this is one idea to serve a crowd. Not sure how a vegetarian version would taste with veggie broth & no meat as an extra tray?
I'm sure a vegetarian version would be delicious! If you are using tasty Spaghetti Sauce - how could it not be? I will be doing this as well as I have a handful of vegetarian kids. I think Trader Joes makes vegetarian meatballs, but I really don't think it is necessary.
I make a vegetarian version of this, but I boil the Ziti for five minutes before adding them. I basically use the same recipe that I use for lasagna except that everything gets mixed together instead of layered. I mix the cheese with the ziti before I add the sauce, and I add eggs to the cheese mixture, but no broth. The sauce is sort of folded in, and it includes fresh basil and fresh oregano, as does the cheese mixture. It does save a bit of time over making lasagna, but I tend to make lasagna most of the time anyway and make the lasagna noodles from flour, semolina flour, and eggs - very quick and easy to do. I do not boil fresh lasagna noodles before baking them, and so that saves time.
Sometimes I just like to make ziti instead for variety, and so I always have ziti pasta on hand.
I use cottage cheese also. (DH loves it and eats it like it is ice cream as a snack)
My trick so i don't need to buy ricotta is to first put the cottage cheese alone in the mixing bowl and smash it with a potato masher tool. Just takes a minute and breaks up the curd. Then add the tomato, etc. Most NY pot-luck baked ziti from an Italian deli is so darn dry. (and probably prepared a day in advance). Needs moisture while it cooks. Sometimes i'll put a bottom layer of thin sliced sweet potato, zucchini, caramelized onions with mushrooms...
I always make a veggie one that i've put in a layer of spinach. Extra veggies. Always the bottom layer so the pasta top 2/3rds stays creamy. Crisping the top is what makes it so delish and special. Any time you can get a full and filling meal in one pot is a winner.
You have a good recipe. So much better than a basic Mac-n-greasy-cheese.
I satisfy the meat eaters by tucking proscuito all over the top. Pressing it in with some staying on top to crisp with the final cheese crisping and bubbling. I don't cook for kids that often so your pre-made meat-balls is a really good solution.
I make baked ziti regularly and always have one in the freezer.
I mix the ground beef with the spaghetti sauce and stir in the cooked ziti, fusili, whatever I happen to be using.
It's easy to layer with provolone, mozzarella and sour cream, which is what I use. It's a great way to use up sour cream!
Jeri - I just wanted to say a big Thank You for posting this recipe. I had to cater a meal for 80 kids, plus parents and staff today at a local summer Hockey camp. My plan was to make Ziti the way I normally do but then I remembered reading your post a few months ago and decided to try your much, much easier method. It came out terrific and got lots of compliments. I have another group of different people tomorrow and will definitely include this on the menu. Once again Thank You!!

Creativity rules!
I cam across this article in Houzz. It is really inspiring what one can do with a few cans of paint, as the author notes. I really LOVE these kitchens.
Here is a link that might be useful: houzz link
I think what they are recommending is easier said than done.
If you remove the doors, wouldn't you have to finish the shelf front? And wouldn't that make the rest of it look old?
Just curious.
IMHO, mismatching properly is the hardest thing to do unless you are an artist (not necessarily by trade).
If done improperly, it would look sloppy, not charming.
Some of those kitchens looked like perfect candidates for "Before" on this forum's reveals. LOL.
Maybe, I am just grouchy as I did not get enough sleep last night. Wink.
Thanks for posting the link! Those kitchens have so much personality - it's great to see so many different "styles", price points, and sizes. I really enjoy seeing the kitchens on this site, and it's wonderful that everyone loves their own kitchen, but so many of them seem to be just variations on a theme, to me. It's good to see something different occasionally.

Akron, Ohio to commemorate city's link to 1800s abolitionist
Akron is planning a series of events to commemorate the 150th anniversary of John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, Va., in 1859.
The abolitionist had ties to Summit and Portage counties. Born in Connecticut in 1800, he was 5 when his family moved to Hudson. As a young man, he worked at his father's tannery. He also operated a tannery in Kent in the 1830s.

The Space
Vashon Island is a beautiful, enchanting place, and Sunrise Cottage is set at one of the most gorgeous spots on the island. The view literally takes your breath away; it spans 180 degrees of Puget Sound, Cascade Mountains, and sunrises that astound. Nestled above the water on a high bluff, the cottage is located near the bottom of a wooded, dead end road. There is public access to the rocky beach below just a short walk down the road. Bald eagles regularly soar by, seals call, and occasionally a pod of orcas will bound through the passage.
You can make yourself cozy indoors and out. The cottage is beautifully built with wood everywhere, cathedral ceilings, large windows, skylights, and a peaceful feel. Make a cup of tea and sit by the fire as you watch the boats drift by. Treat yourself to a massage on-site. Sunrise Cottage is the carriage house of the main house. Outdoors there are benches, a deck overlooking the water (both shared with the main house), and greenery all around. This cottage radiates an inviting warmth which permeates your being; the perfect place for a writers retreat or relaxing, romantic get-away.
You could never leave this oasis and be very happy, but if you are inspired to explore, Vashon is well worth venturing out. Take walks in one of the many parks and wooded areas, or for miles along the beach; bike around the island roads, or take a mt. bike to the extensive state lands trails; go visit art galleries, antique shops and restaurants; try horse back riding, or rent a kayak on Quartermaster Harbor.
One may find it hard to believe such an island paradise is so close to two major cities (Seattle and Tacoma), but time seems to have stopped on Vashon, and it's a magical place to be. Come and visit, and let the spell work on you!
Sunrise Cottage is a studio with a full kitchen and bathroom, and sleeps 2 people maximum.
PLEASE NOTE: The property recently had a new septic system installed, so the yard does not have grass at this time. Please see the attached pictures. The price has been reduced from the usual nightly rate of $125 to $95 because of this. However, the cottage still is incredibly cozy, and a delightful retreat.
1. AGREEMENT: Suzanne Greenberg ("Owner") and Tenant agree as follows: above tenant is an adult and will be an occupant of the cottage during the entire reserved period. Other occupants will be family members, friends or responsible adults. Use of the premises will be denied to persons not falling within the foregoing categories, and as a result they would have to vacate the property immediately without any refund. No keys will be issued to anyone who is not an adult.
6. CHECK IN: Check in time is anytime after 3:00 pm. Keys will be ready for pick up in a prearranged place at the property location.

A $20 hour fee will be charged for each hour (or portion thereof) past the required check out time. A $20 per item fee will be charged for each lost key.
8. CLEANING: The property will be inspected and cleaned after your departure. (The rental fee you have paid will provide for two hours of normal cleaning after your departure so that you can enjoy your vacation up to the last moment.) YOU ARE REQUIRED to leave the property in the same general condition that you received it by making sure dishes are done and put away, the bed is stripped, and the home is generally picked up and ready to be vacuumed, dusted and sanitized. If additional cleaning is required either during your stay or after your departure, appropriate charges will be deducted from your security deposit at the rate of $20 per hour.
9. CHECK OUT DUTIES: When you check-out make sure all doors and windows are closed, and the gas stove and lights are turned off. The following must also be completed: 1) Wash and put away all dishes; 2) Wipe appliances, counters, etc., and clean up excess spills; 3) Strip the bed, and leave the sheets, pillow cases, and towels in a pile ready to be washed: 4) Leave all furnishing and other items as found. Failure to complete these requirements could result in a reduction of your security deposit refund and/or additional billing.
11. WHAT IS SUPPLIED: The property is equipped and set up as a fully furnished property that will include linens, blankets, pillows, towels, as well as a fully equipped kitchen. THERE WILL BE EXTRA CHARGES TO YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR REPLACING THESE ITEMS IF FOUND TO BE NECESSARY. The cottage is equipped with basic items such as furniture, kitchen appliances, pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. Tea & coffee are also supplied. The cottage is furnished according to the owner's taste. You can't rearrange furniture or take furniture or bedding out of the cottage.
12. WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING: Plan on packing your personal toiletry items.
13. TENANTS LIABILITY: Tenant agrees to accept liability for any damages caused to the property (other than normal wear and tear) by Tenant or Tenants guests, including, but not limited to, landscaping, misuse of appliances, and/or equipment furnished. If damages are in excess of the security deposit being held, Tenant agrees to reimburse Owner for costs incurred to repair/replace damaged items.
14. DISTURBANCES/SLEEPING CAPACITY: Tenants and all other occupants will be required to vacate the premises and forfeit the rental fee and security deposit for any of the following:
A) Smoking in the cottage or anywhere on the premises.
B) Occupancy exceeding the sleeping capacity of 2 guests of any age.
C) Using the premises for any illegal activity.
D) Causing damage to the premises rented or to any of the neighboring properties.
E) Any other acts which interfere with neighbors' rights to quiet enjoyment of their property.
15. HOLD HARMLESS: Owner does not assume any liability for loss, damage, or injury to persons or their personal property in the cottage or on the property. Neither do I accept liability for any inconvenience arising from any temporary defects or stoppage in supply of water, gas, electricity, plumbing, ferry service, or internet connection. Nor will I accept liability for any loss or damage caused by weather conditions, natural disasters, acts of God, or other reasons beyond my control.
16. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The undersigned, for himself/herself, his/her heirs, assignors, executors, and administrators, fully releases and discharges Owner from any and all claims, demands and causes of action by reason of any injury or whatever nature which has or have occurred, or may occur to the undersigned, or any of his/her guests as a result of, or in connection with the occupancy of the premises and agrees to hold Owner free and harmless of any claim or suit arising there from. In any action concerning the rights, duties or liabilities of the parties to this agreement, their principals, agents, successors or assignees the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs.
17. NO AMENITIES ARE GUARANTEED! There will be NO refunds because of the malfunction of the contents of the cottage. All cottage contents are kept in good working order and any problems will be addressed as quickly as possible. There will be no refunds due to inclement weather or earthquakes. Trip insurance is now available and highly recommended. Trip insurance is the only source of compensation for you if your trip is interrupted by a mandatory evacuation.
18. ITEMS LEFT IN THE COTTAGE: I cannot be responsible for any personal items left in the cottage. If after checkout you request I search the cottage for a forgotten item and the item is found, I will return it by mail C.O.D. with a service charge of $20.00. Items found and not requested to be returned within 30 days after departure will be discarded.
Great cottage on a lovely island. The property was charming. Close to town, but off the beaten path. Suzanne addressed any issues we had in record time. Great place to relax and unwind after a long week.
Due to an emergency, we weren't able to make the trip, but Suzanne called after us and made sure everything was alright. Much appreciated.
~ Jonathan
Despite the discounted rate for some recent work done to the cottage, there was still an interesting smell (maybe mold in the floor or a rodent of some kind), not too strong but definitely present. Besides that everything was very nice, a well equipped cozy well located cottage with a nice view.
We had a great stay at the Seabluff Cottage- it was clean, cozy, well lit, and accommodating. Suzanne was away but made sure that the people at the property were there if we needed anything. The property is pretty secluded and had a very nice atmosphere with a nice view of the water. We made good use of the kitchen but had a difficult time with the espresso maker. Fortunately the french press compensated :] The descriptions are pretty accurate. We forgot to ask about the fireplace before hand so make sure to do that if you plan to use it. There is a bathtub which was a plus, and the bed is insanely comfortable. We were very happy with our stay!
My wife and I stayed at Suzzane's house for a week and we had an absolute wonderful time ! The house is very charming and well appointed. Everything that you need is there and it's very well maintained. The location couldn't be better . The view is amazing. The island is fantastic with lot's to do or just relax and enjoy the view. We cooked dinner at the cottage half the nights and went out the other evening's. The restaurant we really loved was La Boucherie which is 5 minutes away and probably some of the best food we have ever had. Suzzane and her roommate Michelle were a pleasure to meet and we will definitely be coming back! Dannelle and Alan
The Cottage was Awesome. Clean. Plenty of kitchen equipment. View was as described-EXCELLENT. Secluded and Quiet location. Suzanne was a great Host- friendly, helpful with suggestions (coffee, beach, etc), patient with my stupid questions!! Everything in the cottage worked. A sweet view of the water and sun/moon rises.
What a great spot. The cottage is beautiful, nicely furnished, and the view is fantastic. It's just a short jaunt to town. Thanks, Suzanne!

Hello fellow travelers and guests!
I love to adventure, meet people, create beautiful spaces, and share my home with guests. I live on Vashon Island, but have a cute little "pied a terre" in Seattle; The Nest in the Heart of the City.
I'm a sign language interprerpreter by profession, and love what I do. When I'm not doing that, I'm usually on Vashon Island, working on my house there, or off exploring the outdoors; skiing, hiking, or biking. I love to travel, and want to try out airbnb all over the planet!
I love to interact with people, so feel free to ask me anything about myself, and tell me a bit about you!
