Welcome to our villa, The Retreat by the Lake. The Retreat is a luxury lakeside rental villa in the Orlando Florida area just minutes from Disney World. The villa has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private south facing pool that overlooks a lake. It has just been completely renovated and refurnished, and provides all the modern amenities that should be expected from a 5-star vacation home including a games room. The villa is located on a tree lined street in the quiet gated community of Sunset Lakes. This location is a true oasis in the Orlando/Kissimmee area. Whether you've just done "Dumbo or Die" at the Magic Kingdom, spent the day on the links converting that 96 into a 69, or watched some exciting baseball spring training, you can return through the gates of this established community into a peaceful, serene environment where you have your own spacious villa at a fraction of the cost of a 5 star hotel.
The Retreat now features a 55' high definition TV with Blue Ray and Netflix.
5 Star Luxury without the Price: The Retreat has been renovated to offer a self-catered luxury experience at affordable rates. You will pay three to four times as much for comparable accommodations at the nearby theme parks. All the bedrooms have been tastefully appointed and equipped. The large living room and dining room overlooks the pool and the lake. You can have your morning coffee as the Sandhill cranes and ibis saunter by just feet from the lanai. You can catch bass as bald eagles soar over the lake. The kitchen is fully equipped with a range, microwave, ice making fridge, garbage disposal unit, dishwasher, coffee maker, kettle and many other conveniences. The Retreat also features a games and fitness room complete with pool table, dart board, treadmill and exercise bike.
Convenience with Tranquility: When you stand on the quiet tree lined street outside the villa you wouldn't suspect that you are just minutes away from the theme parks and the stores / restaurants of Kissimmee. Grocery, big box and drug stores are just minutes away. Everyone who visits the Retreat and Sunset Lakes is impressed by the peaceful tranquility of the neighbourhood and the lake. Other vacation home communities close to the Theme Parks cannot offer you this combination.
Security and Privacy: Sunset Lakes is a gated community with an electronic key code access and surveillance system. The Retreat itself has its own electronic key code access system. Your code, which is unique to your stay, will be provided to you by email prior to the start of the stay. If there are issues our Property Management Company is available to assist you. . A safe is available to protect your valuables. All sliding doors at The Retreat are secured by safety locks and door alarms so you can keep track of the little ones. The Retreat backs onto the lake, not someone else's backyard. Visibility from the neighbour's backyards is restricted by hedges, screens and the lake.
If the dates you want aren't available please check out our other family owned home on Homeaway: listing number 3500336.
Choosing a location online for an important family vacation can be challenging. We spent a lot of time reviewing options, and our decision to choose the Retreat was the best decision. Karen, Mike and the Property Managers were excellent and responsive to all our questions and concerns - even with a hurricane looming. We arrived to find a very clean and well appointed home. We wanted a place that was in a safe and quiet community, not stuffed with hundreds of homes. The Retreat did not disappoint. After a long hot day at Disney, it was a welcoming and refreshing to come back to a quiet, clean home with a sparkling and relaxing pool. The games, books, movies, and pool table were thoughtful amenities we really appreciated. The neighborhood is very quiet at night, which is great for kids who need to go to bed and get rest. We felt safe and secure in the gated community. The opportunity to have a quiet breakfast and dinner was wonderful - and it was a quick 10-15 minute ride to the Disney lots! Spectacular home - highly recommended.
After and long search for a villa we were happy that Karen and Mike's villa was available.
The location was ideal, only a very short drive from shops, resturants and Disney.
The villa itself was immaculate, very clean and modern. Our children loved the games room and the abundance of dvds to wind down to after a long day at the parks.
Little things such as tupperware, (handy for storing snacks) menus for resturants near by (perfect for decision making at meal times) laundry degerant (useful for brits using american appliances for the first time) and the abundance of towels were all provided and came in very useful.
The pool was lovely and warm and was always very relaxing after a long day and the view over the lake was idylic!
The neighbourhood was beautiful and the neighbours next door were very welcoming and friendly and even came round to wish us congratulations on our wedding (which took place whilst we were there)
Overall we were thoroughly satisfied with our stay and would certianly be in contact with Karen and Mike for our next visit.
This is our second stay and it was as fabulous as ever. If we lived closer than the UK we would be going far more often!
The listing description is very accurate and since our initial stay the property continues to remain clean and fresh and has had some lovely upgrades, not that they were needed, but very welcome all the same. The property is beautifully maintained and very much to our taste. Both the owners and management are extremely helpful and professional. We had an issue with the air conditioning and they sent someone the same day to fix it - and this was over a weekend.
We stayed with our 2 teenage boys and my mother-in-law and everyone loved the place. The house is set up so that everyone can do their own thing when they want and the communal areas are great for when everyone wants to be together.
The location is perfect, very close to Disney, approx 40 mins max to Universal and a few minutes drive to supermarkets, shops and lots great restaurants. Its a gated community so very safe for families and although minutes away from a major highway you feel like you are in the countryside. No traffic noise, a beautiful lake with amazing wildlife.
We are a family of 6, father, mother, daughter, son and two grandchildren. We had a wonderful stay at Sunset Lakes Villa. After spending several hours trying to find our vacation home, when we came upon this villa, we immediately knew our search had ended. Karen and Mike made it so easy for us with their downright friendliness and professionalism. We enjoyed every moment. From the first time we entered, we knew we had made the right choice. The place was spotless, good work Management team!!
I would not go into many details as other reviewers have done so, I concur with their findings!!. We spent two days at Disney and also did some shopping, could not resist that.
Breakfast was a pleasure to prepare with all conveniences. Spent most mornings looking at the sun hitting the lake, that view was awesome!! The pool was the place where my grandchildren loved to be. They had such fun. I was so happy to see each room had its own tv, just as advertised, no horror stories!! and most of all..no sharing!!!!!
We still talk about our vacation and know that there will be a part 2. For those persons reading this review, I unhesitatingly recommend this villa. You will have no regrets!! Karen and Mike.... a big THANK YOU for allowing us to stay here. You will certainly hear from us again!!
Myself, my husband, our 18 year old daughter and her 18 yr old friends booked and stayed in this beautiful villa for two weeks from 20th July until 3rd August this year.
The villa is very well maintained, beautifully decorated and very luxurious, with all the amenities you could wish for and the best part was the gorgeous relaxing view of the lake which you have from the master bedroom, living room and dining room, in fact most of the living area has the view of the pool/lake.
Karen and Mike who own the villa supply everything you might need, plenty of towels/flannels or face cloths, pool towels, several sets of crockery, cutlery glassware and plastic ware for the pool area.
Roger who manages the villa does a wonderful job as we did not need to contact him for anything, everything was in full working order and very clean, he even took the time to take in our ordered grocery shopping and delivered to the villa for our arrival - saving us the added trouble of going grocery shopping on our arrival after a very long flight from the UK.
The villa comes with a beautiful living, dining kitchen area with breakfast bar, fully equipped beautiful kitchen, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two floor mounted safes. Plenty of storage, flat screen TV's in all rooms, games room complete with pool table, darts and sets of fishing rods so you can fish on the lake. Free Wifi, Games and plenty of books DVD's for your use while staying at the villa. Great views - saw several sunrises over the lake but unfortunately no sunsets as other houses/trees block the view. Sunshine on the pool all day long, plus an area out of the sun in the shade where you could eat if wanted. Gas BBQ supplied.
We had a wonderful relaxing stay in this beautiful villa and will definitely be back. Would highly recommend.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful villa in Sunset Lakes, Orlando. The villa is truly wonderful and it has everything you need and the location is perfect. After visiting the parks you can easily return to the villa for a swim and a bit of relaxation time before heading back to the parks for the evening entertainment. The villa was extremely clean and stocked lots of books and dvd's to keep everyone entertained. We loved our stay here and did not want to leave, we will definitely return and are counting down already, The Clark Family
I had been meaning to write this review for a while because if any property deserved a five star review it's this one. Pretty much everything that you could want was present. We never worried about having enough towels, dishes, and linens during our entire stay. There was not one, not two, but three full sets of dishes which meant that we didn't need to scramble to run dishwasher loads after every meal and could really concentrate on relaxing. Little thoughtful touches like enough Tupperware and storage containers really made cooking and prepping a pleasure. There was very little that the unit did not have.
The pool was really great after really hot mornings at the parks. We all really enjoyed our time in the pool and it was really convenient to not have to schlep to a pool. Having no backyard neighbors was pretty great. The key pad was really nice and having one less key to be responsible for was great. Also, the unit is very very close to the Animal Kingdom park, just use the Sherberth Road which was way faster. It is a distance from the other parks, but honestly, everything is pretty far away even within the whole of Disney World itself.
The TV was really nice, we were able to connect an Apple TV which worked out pretty well, but the internet connection was a little slow for streaming, so if you intend on using one, just know that you may have to allow the movie you want to watch to buffer for a while prior to watching.
A few minor quibbles only because it was so close to perfect that a few extra touches would put this place over the edge: the door on the Master Bedroom could use a lock. We weren't provided with a sponge so we ended up buying one, might be helpful to bring a partially used one from home to chuck after the visit. A vacuum would have come in handy as it appeared that the only rug in the unit hadn't been vacuumed in a while. The entry was great for hanging up bags to grab for the next day, but it would have been nice to have a small bench for putting on shoes. Folks should be warned that when the "grass" behind the unit is cut, clippings fly into the pool which makes it a little gross. Also, we had an small "incident" with the next door neighbor. Around 5 p.m. they asked us to quiet our children because one person in the family had to work nights. This wouldn't have bothered us had it been late at night, but a request for quiet at 5 p.m. was a little unreasonable, so just be warned if you have kids.
The Retreat is between 2.6 and 5.6 miles from the Disney Theme Parks with Sunset Lakes being one of the closest vacation communities to the Mouse. The Retreat itself backs south onto Sunset Lake. You can sit all day by the pool and bask in sunshine while watching the wildlife on the lake. The Retreat is about 19 minutes from Sea World and 27 minutes from Universal Studios. A short drive of 90 minutes will take you to the beaches on both the Atlantic or Gulf coasts.

RV Light Switch – the lowly little on off thingy
The RV light switch is a pretty simple thing. Its different from the light switches you find in homes because instead of switching AC power common in houses, it switches 12 Volt DC power which is common in RV's.
The other thing I've noticed is that the RV light switch is pretty boring. Whereas you'll find lots of decorative choices in household switches, and switch plates, the RV light switch is pretty boring.
When you DO use the switch, AND you aren't on "shore power", you will be taking power from the RV battery. That isn't a bad thing, but you need to be aware of that fact. That is one reason that I've written several articles about RV lighting. If you put in an LED light, when you turn on the RV light switch, you'll actually be able to reduce your lighting power by about 80% which is pretty incredible.
I've listed a few replacement switches for you here from Amazon (Amazon Disclosure):
- JR Products 12015 White Double On/Off Switch Assembly with Bezel
- JR Products 12585 Labeled 12V White Switch
- JR Products 12005 White Single On/Off Switch Assembly with Bezel
- JR Products 12225 Black Single On/Off Switch Assembly with Bezel

Guerlain Vol de Nuit.
A nice hump day to all.
Thread: SotD, Wednesday 23rd July
Hope everyone is having a lovely Wednesday!
I had a dentist and chiropractor appointment this morning. No biggy though. Tried the first of many samples in the parcel that arrived yesterday and I just couldn't help myself - it had to be Love's True Bluish Light. From the moment I applied from the little sample vial I knew it was love!! I HAVE to have this gorgeous perfume. It's a comforting and yummy vanilla, but it's mature and maybe even a little bit sexy. I'm getting a bit of milky chocolatey-ness from it as well. Sillage is wonderful - much better than I had expected!
Thank you Jillsy for allowing me to try this remarkable fragrance - I need to get myself a full bottle ASAP! (but best wait till my bank account is looking healthier. It's looking very sad from all the shopping these holidays, and the boots, dentist and chiropractor expenses today didn't help )
Guerlain Vol de Nuit.
A nice hump day to all.
Good morning everyone. I received a bottle of Asprey's
Purple Water in the post this morning - I won it in a recent
Basenotes competition (thank you Jen!) Of course I had to put it
on straight away. I am a big fan of Eau de Colognes, as you already know,
and this is a lovely, zingy example of the genre. The interesting note is the
purple jacaranda flower spiced up with notes of white ginger and basil.
I think I shall be wearing this one a lot this summer.
Hi everybody!
I toyed around with my Aoud Cuir d'Arabie sample this morning (sent by dear dimples), picked it up, put it down, picked it up again...
but then went with something almost equally bold but familiar:
Theorema EdP + parfum
sloan-Michael, what are you wearing today?

Starting a week (or more) of wearing the so neglected MDCI Parfums. Hailed by Luca Turin and loved by many members.
Starting with the beautiful Oriental Floral, my favorite of the five fragrances of this house

Notes:Bergamot, Italian mandarin, ylang-ylang, sambac jasmin, tuberose, Turkish rose, wallflower, patchouli, Indian sandalwood, vanilla, Haitian vetiver

Sharing the house with Twolf,
Guerlain Cuir Beluga
Notes: mandarin, aldehydes, immortelle, leather, heliotrope, amber, vanilla
Have a lovely day, everyone.

[Now...we have to get you Sweet Absinthe, Angel Face, White Musk, Oriental Musk, Gardenia Musk, Wild Blackberry Musk, Ambra Tibet, ....]
All my fellow Guerlainies.Yahoo !
I visited my sweet girlfriend /SA at the Chanel boutique yesterday- and retried Cuir de Russie, which never loved me.
Sad to say- she does NOW.
Oh, dear.
I feel an itch...but I think I'm just going to wear my nice sample bottle all day, and see how it goes.
[It sure smells lovely, the morning after.Sigh.]
Very excited about rendezvousing with Monsieur SMM this Friday...
Any suggestions, ComDiva ?
What should I wear to pleasure this married man's nose, girls ???
[If you say BACON- the closest I have is CB's 'Burning Leaves', lol. Eau de Kielbasa !]
Enjoy the day, folks...
SotD: AP Maitresse
SotE: testing a sample labelled "Hermes Orange du Vert". Upon searching the directory there are 3 fragrances by Hermes with "d'Orange Verte" in part of their name so I have no clue which one I'm testing!
I'm wearing Chergui today.
I've trademarked the color bleu
Oooh, you lot smell nice!
It's washday here and I hate it. Once a fortnight I get 24 hours to use the communal washing machine and drying room. Another reason we want to move!
So I want to wear a perfume that cheers me up and is good and strong to overpower the smells of washing powder and fabric softener. I've gone with Bandit edp with its energetic feel and slightly spiky attitude. Just what I need to help me scrub those chocolate stains out!
Have a lovely day all

3125 minutes until Chaya and I are the best smelling pair in Boston.
I feel like I missed the Guerlain SSD today with all of the Guerlains above me.
I am back in Caron today wearing:
Le 3me Homme
I don't know why it took me so long to discover Caron but so far everything in the line just works on me. They are all so different but yet there is some similarity. The floral middle of this one is crazy good. Another day of bumping into walls with my nose buried in my wrist for me, doing the Basenotes Salute.
Lovely to see you 'reincarnate' the Parfums MDCI's, Riannon. Inspired by my bump to the missing fragrances-thread, maybe? I'll be joining you for today.
Ambre Topkapi (Pierre Bourdon)
Excellent for today's kind weather.

Yikes, Wordsy!! Laundry every two weeks??!! And you with a three year-old???
And Chaya - you wicked wicked girl!! To entice SMM - how about "Buy The Numbers"??!!
Dutch Dragon - I think I am going to follow in your fabled footsteps and go with an MDCI. Came downstairs pre-ablutions and spritzed on Vera Wang Princess (thank you for the sample Mouse-kins) but I don't think I'm going to stick with it. To me - very Un-Vera. I love her sensibility but I don't think this frag reflects it - at least not on me - to me. The list of notes is semi-pretentious (to me) and the one that stands out the most is Pink Frosting Accord...super-sweet.

Everyone smells good today ... I am testing the new Chloe, and I don't know how to take it... I enjoy the very base notes, but its murder for me getting that far, and even then, on me it's not any thing special
I don't anticipate a FB purchase of this anytime soon.
Good morning! House mates today with Wordbird in Fracas.
Have a lovely day!
Good morning everybody My sotd for today is Feminite du bois.It's a rainy day in Trondheim today.Off to see Nidarosdomen today and a few more tourist attractions.Have a great day all
Testing SL Serge Noire which reminds me of Gobin Daudé Nuit au Désert: very smoky, woody and "campfiry", not at all sweet like most Lutenses are (I don't usually mind, though). Like it a lot.

Hello, everyone! You're all smelling rather gorgeous...
Riannon, I will probably join you in my favorite Parfums MDCI tomorrow, but for today I am reveling in Neil Morris Fragrances Midnight Sea.
Notes: Water lily, vanilla, patchouli, dark musk and ozone notes. Gorgeous.
Also, big news... I GOT A NEW JOB!!!! Staying at my old one (fabulous co-workers, but no upward mobility options) for another month, then a couple of weeks off, and then new (promotion and with different non-profit health care company) position starts in early September. Essentially going from working with one hospital to working with 90 hospitals! Very excited, also very nervous. I've been at my current place of employment (in several related positions) for 13 years. This is a big change for me, but it's time and I'm ready. I think. I wonder if there's a perfume out there infused with valium...

Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, Something is just around the corner, what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers Something is just around the corner, something always is. -- Charlie Elberson
My sale thread has some of my underappreciated fragrances looking for a good, new home...
Comdiva: a very big congratulations to you, both on the new job and on owning the ambition that it took to get it! Best of luck, my dear.
Sakecat22: Don't you just love Songes? Now that I have written it, I know that I must wear it tomorrow.
Twolf, tdem, tigruska: I too am in Guerlain. I am wearing L'Heure Bleu extrait, the pinnacle of perfume achievement. I sit with the fragrance gods today.
In the mood for layering today - Tommy Girl behind knees, and on wrists, plus a drop of Jicky extrait on my neck. They go very well together, me thinks!
LOL at LiB´s pic!!!!!!!!!!
If there's a better way to start the day than BN's SotD, I haven't found it. Air-kisses all around.
Repeating an experiment: Bois des Iles (, d) on one side, Bel Respiro on the other.
Therese, you worded your note so well, I just going to hijack it in its entirety: ComDiva, a very big congratulations to you, both on the new job and on owning the ambition that it took to get it! Best of luck, my dear.
Love love that black nose picture!
You guys please tell us more about the new Serge, please!
I might join the gang in wearing something from MDCI tomorrow, we can do it!
Congratulations and crossed fingers for Catherine the Great!

It's Goutal's delicious SONGES today
(Thanks to Taolady I do now)
Way to go ScentMother.
It takes a lot of courage to realize you need to make a change and then actually act upon it.
Then again I knew you were very smart and courageous before this (I know how to do the simple ones)
Now you get to introduce a whole new group of people to your fine smelling self.

Sounds like a Guerlain love-fest this morning... I had spent the previous two days in Guerlain already and this morning I had aleady put on Lanvin Scandal... it works wonderfully well with the light suede jacket that I'm wearing in the office (brrrr! AC here is cranked up high and it's chilly... Tavorna, can I borrow your new booties?).
Great to hear that you are enjoying your vacation Ine!
Will follow up with the MDCI Enlevement au Serail as my SOTE, per Riannon's SOTD.
Congratulations ComDiva! I've sent you off some samples.... alas, none with Valium.

Vanille Noire Du Mexique for me today simply because I have neglected it. Earlier this afternoon tested Sira Des Indes which seems quite contemplative and gorgeous.
Congratulations on the great news, ComDiva! :toppie:
I´m sure you will do just fine - being a bit nervous only sharpens the mind!
Jetlagged and pissed off because my luggages is gone (containing 5 perfume bottles, 3 new and 2 i brought with me)
I don't dare to test anything in this state of mind even though more testers came in, I really want to..they all look promising, the names and the rumours they cause here..but I'm worried that in this nerve wrecking ( need to prepare for a presentation, bu too tired) state I might not be able to really focos and well be somehwat myself and thu the test woukd be off.
I miss wearing real perfume
ComDiva, congrats on the great new job!
Lian, what a bummer about the lost luggage, especially the frags. I'd go with your instinct here--wear something that you're already familiar with. Something that is calming but spirit-lifting, perhaps?
SoTD is Un Jardin en Mediterranée (again). It seems to cleanse my palate after trying frags that don't work on me.

Therese - I wasn't expecting to like Songes as much as I do. From the descriptions, this looked like a scent that could have gotten ugly on me fast. Thankfully - that is sooooo not the case. I think I'm wearing the EdP. When I get home, I'll double-check the vial Perfumequeen sent me.

Wearing Caron Aimez-Moi. I haven't worn this in ages and I could not keep my wrist away from my nose while I was driving to pick up daughter No.2 from soccer camp. Now I'm home for a couple of hours to do her laundry . Then we are heading to North Carolina for Daughters No.1 and No.2 to spend a few days with my brother. I will definately reapply Aimez-Moi and let hubby drive so I can do some double wrist sniffing.
Congratulations Comdiva! A new job is exciting, I haven't had one of those in ages!

Oh, Lian-
I sent you a pm...
Please tell me what else I can send w/ your package.
Whatever will cheer you up, gelieverd !
LIB- I love your furry nose !
Sooo pretty.
My favorite !
Huge congratulations ComDiva! You'll be brilliant in your new role and you richly deserve the promotion.
Biased in our opinions of you abilities? Us? Oh yes (you have to say that in the voice of the dog from the Churchill insurance ad).(And apologies to everyone who has no idea what that's about. It would take too long to explain and not really be worth it.)
Want a groan-inducing suggestion for your perfume? Opium! (wah wah waaaaaaah....)
Seriously? OK, is hypericum used in perfumery? That's St John's Wort. And Valerian is another herbal soother. Doesn't smell too good though, if I remember rightly. I'm sure the natural perfumers and aromatherapists here will give you advice. Lavender. Lavender's a relaxing, soothing oil, I remember that one. So douse yourself in Jicky. ;-)

Well, washday's over for another fortnight so I can relax. And bless him, my hubby put the little un's toys away and vacuumed the living room while I made dinner, so all is tranquil now. Actually, a fortnightly washday isn't so bad. On the bright side, its all done in one day.
Lian: total bummer. You have my sympathy. Is your case 'lost lost' or mislaid? And can you at least claim on your insurance for the bottles you bought while away?
Bum bum bum.

Wow, what a great smelling bunch we have today. Congratulations Comdiva, I know this must be very exciting for you.
Today I am trying my last AvaLuxe sample: Firewood. I can't stop smelling my wrist. I'll tell you what it reminds me of, my house at Christmas time with the smell of my Christmas tree, the wood smell of the fireplace, and the candles lit throughout the house. I LOVE IT!! Probably much better in the winter than in this hot, hot summer but I went to the beach today with my hubby so I put Firewood on after coming back and showering and am not leaving my air conditioned home for the rest of the day, so it's OK.
Congratulations ComDiva! How thrilling!

Listen to the song here
There is a long story behind this photo. A time, when I think about it, brought a lot of sadness to me. Things past cannot be changed, but we can learn heaps from the experiences. Yes I lamented and I learned a great deal.
*^Today there was a tragedy
Underneath the bridge
A man walked
Cold and blue
Into La Ment
The sky coloured perfect
As the man slipped away
Waving with a last vanilla smile
Somewhere at a table
Two drowned fools
Drinking water as they talked
Of how they loved our lady
And oh the smell as candles die
One more ice cream river body
Flowed underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge^*
The Cure
Another stunner Craig. These shots facing the sun are really difficult to get right, but you've done a fine job here. Well done.
so poignant – beautiful photo. very sad.
!!!!! another standout!
very sad indeed – means its a good shot for me. You have some stunning skies over your part of the world. I can see you getting another "Sale!" out of this one, hope you do it's spot on.
PS do you know whether the tree suffered old age or some sort of lightening strike. Just a little aside thats all.
What a fab find. Nice shot Craig
Beautiful shot Craig. Amazing sky what a great find with the perfect tree and a perfect sky as well. Lovely.
Thank you Andrew :) I have to admit I had this one tucked right at the start of my portfolio with a few comments on it, but wanted to show it off again as it's one of my own fav photos. I am sorry to those that commented on this work early on. I wish there was some way to move those comments with the photos in RB.
Thank you Anne {{{hugs}}} The Cure Song that this goes with is very moving too. But alas I cannot find a link to either a video of it, or even the song itself as an audio. I do have a link of a group doing a cover of this particular song … but it's a female lead singer and she doesn't do the best of jobs with it … it's too fast. If anyone is interested I will add the link to that video.
VBS WOW!! Thanks Ants :) :) VBS I put your drawing of the wreck in my JE update for great works without many comments. I hope it gets heaps more recognition for you :)
Now this is a ripper Craig, wispy sky, great silhoutted trees and that sparkle of eternal light shining through. It's more rapture than Lament…

Haley, who played superhero Rorschach in Watchmen, is hotly tipped to take on the role opposite Ryan Reynolds -- who's already signed up to play the Green Lantern himself.
Former James Bond filmmaker Martin Campbell is also attached to direct the project, which is scheduled to begin shooting in New Orleans in March.
It won't be Haley's first villainous role -- he played Freddie Krueger in the recent Nightmare on Elm Street remake and a pedophile in 2006 movie Little Children.

A very cozy setting for Stone's seasonal menus. It's so homey to him, he even carved his wife's name in the cement near her favorite table.
What You'll Be Eating at Curtis Stone's New MaudeBy Lesley Balla
January 27, 2014 By Lesley Balla | January 27, 2014
Although Curtis Stone is known mostly as a TV chef in America - he's the current host of Top Chef Masters and makes regular appearances on The Chew - he's always wanted to get back in the kitchen to cook for the public. After cutting his chops in Melbourne kitchens, the Aussie-born chef headed to work for Marco Pierre White, whom he chased down in London and landed a job the day they met. After a few years, he rose through the ranks to become head chef of White's Quo Vadis, and then skyrocketed into books and TV. But unlike some TV chefs, Stone has more prowess in the kitchen than his on-camera personality reveals. And since he relocated to Los Angeles, it only makes sense that his first restaurant in the States was here: Maude, an homage both to his family upbringing (it's named for his granny) and our local seasonal bounty, is now open in Beverly Hills.
Replacing the former Pici Enoteca space on South Beverly Drive, Maude is an intimate one-room deal with only 25 seats. It's decked out in furniture you probably wish was in your own home: marble counters, deeply hued teal banquettes, shelves lined with vintage silver and other bric-a-brac. It's subtle and chic, a comfortable and fairly casual setting for the eight-course menus Stone and his team serve nightly. Priced at around $75 per person (wine pairings are extra), the menu's theme changes monthly based on seasonal ingredients. Right now it's citrus, which you'll see laced through everything from oysters with gelée and caviar to the mignardises. Artichokes will follow in March, and peas in April. Nine courses is just about right for the mostly bite-size portions, all served on pretty vintage china that could easily have belonged to Stone's granny. The kitchen is on full display, with some counter seats to get right up on the action. Stone is definitely there, working the pass and even shaving salted egg on ravioli when he can. He's still the star of the show.
Maude will be taking limited reservations this week and fully opens the floodgates on Saturday, February 1. Here's a sneak peek at some of the dishes you'll be eating through February.
Oysters with caviar is just one of the first few bites to arrive, followed by freshly baked gougères filled with artichoke mousse.
The setting: linen napkins with M monograms, vintage plates found from flea markets around the Southland.
Crispy mussels will make you realize not enough chefs fry the plump little shellfish.
Onion bhaji, an Indian-spiced onion fritter, makes a very nice amuse bouche.
A garden salad accented with nasturtium leaves plucked from Stone's own backyard.
Carrot soup with smoked parsnip foam, orange and Serrano ham.
Lobster crudo with crimson turnips, radish and brioche tuille. Very delicate.
Chicken terrine with a potent mustard ice cream.
Stone shaves cured egg yolk on plates for diners at the chef's counter. Maude lovingly looks on from a photo resting on the bar.
Duck ravioli with smoked goose fat, Swiss chard and cured duck-egg shavings.
Beef cheek with potato rosti. The broccoli purée is a unique twist on an ordinarily overlooked vegetable.
The cheese course is simple: a few shavings of Abbaye de Belloc right onto your plate.
The cheese course comes with semolina crackers and mostarda.
Warm madeleines with salted caramel dipping sauce.
Pretty little citrus-laced mignardises: marshmallows, gelée, brownies and more.
Teal banquettes awaiting the next turn.

DNAPrint genomics CEO Richard Gabriel Interviewed by Wall Street Transcript.
The interview is available free on line at the Transcript's Web site (www.twst.com/ceos.htm).
Mr. Gabriel provides examples of how DNAPrint genomics' DNAWITNESS(TM) forensics technology for the law enforcement market is utilized in crime scene investigations. He also went into detail about the Company's ANCESTRYbyDNA(TM) product for the consumer market, which targets individuals who want to trace their family heritage.
Mr. Gabriel also discussed the Company's recently announced exclusive worldwide license from Harvard Medical School's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) for a project to develop a new, more potent and longer acting form of the anemia drug Erythropoietin (EPO), which currently has a worldwide market that exceeds $10 billion.
"Our goal is to develop and market a 'Super'-EPO, a more powerful form of the drug," Mr. Gabriel said. "This is a perfect fit within the Company's overarching strategy to utilize recent genomics and chemistry advances made by our researchers to develop next-generation drugs that maximize efficacy and minimize side effects by tailoring medication for specific individuals and well-defined population sectors."

US envoy returns to lead Israeli-Palestinian talks
JERUSALEM The U.S. Mideast envoy returned to the region Monday to finish preparations for indirect Israeli-Palestinian peace talks after more than a year of painstaking efforts, though the two sides remain far apart and played down expectations.
Israeli and Palestinian officials said they expected the U.S.-brokered talks to begin within days - a development that would mark the Obama White House's first concrete accomplishment in the area. Chances of significant progress appeared slim, as both sides disagree on the scope of the talks and how seriously they will deal with the core issues dividing them.
White House envoy George Mitchell, the former U.S. senator who brokered Northern Ireland's peace accord, has been trying to relaunch peace talks since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009.
But his efforts have hit stumbling blocks, including an Israeli decision in March to build 1,600 homes for Jews in east Jerusalem, the section of the city claimed by the Palestinians. The announcement prompted the Palestinians to call off the start of the indirect negotiations and strained Israel's relations with the U.S.
After weeks of prodding by Mitchell, Israel and the Palestinians agreed last week to start their indirect talks. Mitchell plans to meet with the sides separately this week to get the negotiations under way.
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, flew to Egypt on Monday to brief President Hosni Mubarak.
Netanyahu's office said the 90-minute conversation focused on the peace talks and was held in a good atmosphere.
The Palestinians want to an establish a state in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip - areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. The Palestinians say they are eager for a deal, and have said they would even accept a U.S.-dictated solution.
Netanyahu last year reluctantly endorsed the idea of Palestinian independence, but with conditions the Palestinians deem unacceptable, such as retaining an Israeli presence in the West Bank and keeping east Jerusalem.
Israeli officials say Netanyahu will oversee the initial negotiations with Mitchell, and will focus his efforts on security issues. He also has argued that the issues at the heart of the conflict - such as final borders, refugees and control of Jerusalem - can be resolved only through direct negotiations.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the Palestinians have been assured by the U.S. that all core issues will be discussed in the indirect talks. He said it would become apparent very quickly whether Netanyahu is serious about making peace or stalling.
"If they continue their current trend, it will be very visible for us," he said.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Monday his moderate Labor Party must use all its influence in the government to move the indirect talks along. "I believe and hope that they can lead to direct and wide-ranging negotiations that deal with all the core issues," he told Labor members of parliament.
The Palestinians refuse to hold direct talks with Netanyahu unless he freezes all Jewish construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Netanyahu has offered a slowdown in the West Bank and what appears to be an undeclared freeze in east Jerusalem as well.

Submitted by: Craig Rintamaki on Oct 27, 2013Hi Scott, Long time no talk!!! I hope all is great with you and your family, I just came home from a 10 day stay at Lake Manitoba, we stay at the Narrow's there and hunt divers for a week and a half, great success everyday with full limits, with that said Sable is an absolute machine, in the last month she has successfully retrieved around 500 birds for me and my buddies, she only gets better with every hunt!! It was great to hunt over big water, I had her doing some nice long blinds on a few cripples, not too much gets away from her! It is soooo nice to take her out with fella's that have never seen a great dog work, she has grown up to be a big dog weighing in at just over 90 lbs. I look forward to many more years of hunting over her and try to get out as much as i can ( I hunt at least 4 days a week during the season)!! Keep up the great work producing exceptional retrievers!! Stay safe and fun hunting!! I attached a couple of photos of myself and my buddy Bruce for ya!! Regards, Craig and Liz Rintamaki Grande Prairie AB.
Submitted by: Randy & Francine Olson on Aug 18, 2013Hi Scott,
Every day we can't believe how amazing this pup is. We have been on holidays for two weeks and he's had a good time retrieving on land and in the water. He was swimming and retrieving in the water at three months. He sits and comes to the whistle and marks very well. We are amazed at how quickly he learns and how obedient he is. He's a beautiful looking lab! Randy can't wait to take him duck hunting. We are hoping to get him in the canoe to practice this week. We really are happy with his progress so far for 6 months old! We love him!

Thought you might want to see a couple of photos of Mardi with Hannah.
Mardi is such a beautiful dog as you can see.
Just had her in for her 3 year check up, and all the Dr. Could say was "such a beautiful chocolate lab". Very lean and trim and strong....she was very impressed with the pedigree. 100% healthy...
We are enjoying her very much.. Such a suck yet very dedicated to the family. Does not like it when the family splits up during holidays or when family members leave.
Thanks again for the opportunity to own one of your dogs Scott. Very well done. I promote your kennel when ever I talk about her.
Submitted by: Shelley Kirkland on Aug 22, 2012Hi Scott and Colleen,
Levi is doing really well! She has adapted very well to crate training and it is now her quiet spot when she gets too excited. She is always happy to "go kennel" as she knows it means getting treats. We have also taught her sit, down, come, stay, off, take it and to calm down when asked when playing with her toys. She is a very intelligent girl and wants to please, so much so she follows me around the house sitting whenever I stop. She doesn't pay much attention to Ryland as of yet besides chasing his swing but hopefully she'll be well trained and realize the baby is not a chew toy before he starts crawling. She has training sessions at least twice daily and we try to work her training into our lifestyle as much as possible so it becomes natural to us and to her. Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful addition to our family. She keeps me on my toes, especially having two babies in the house but we love having her around!
Take care!
Shelley and Tyler

Rocco has been such a good puppy - and has totally exceeded our expectations! We just want to thank you both for being so helpful and there for this whole process,we are so glad to have chosen a breeder like you! It has made getting our first puppy that much more memorable and special.
He is doing really well with kennel and potty training and picks up on things so quickly.
Oh, and, he LOVES the water. I was watering our hanging baskets yesterday and as soon as he heard the water dripping through the bottom of the pot he started running through the water that was falling .. trying to get covered in water, it was the cutest thing.
Submitted by: Peter Menge on May 02, 2011Hi Scott;
Thought I'd get you up to date on the Puppy. "Sniper" has certainly added a dimension to our household in the last few months and she is proving herself to be a significant personality. Now just past 6 month's old she weighs in at about 55lbs – all of it pure energy. Her drive is extreme in everything she does and she has recently proven herself to be quite a mouser - with 10 mice to her credit in the last week (at least the ones we know about). It's quite humorous to watch her mousing technique - I'll be sending you a video.
Her training is progressing well and we are currently working on her collar conditioning, to which she has taken in good spirits, and she gets marks now almost every day. In fact she ran her first double on Friday (all be it a simple one) and she figured it out pretty quick. She seems to have enough drive to get her through a variety of factors and she enters cover without much hesitation so I am confident she'll take to more difficult marks as the training progresses.
Last, but not least Scott, she is a real beauty. Nicely proportioned, strong and agile, and she absolutely loves all people. Pictures to follow….
Thanks a bunch for a wonderful animal.

Well Merlin is still black and beautiful. If he was a female he would be the belle of the ball. I don't want you to get to swell headed, but so far this pup is everything I could ask him to be. His temperament is text book perfect. He is inquisitive and loves to play.
There are some dogs that you just enjoy being with. He's one of those.
All the best in the new year.
Submitted by: Craig & Liz on Dec 19, 2010Hi Scott;
I thought I would give ya an e-mail just to let you know how we are making out, so far so good!!!...She loves to fetch her stuffed Mallard for us, I know she is going to be a great retrieving dog it seems to just be natural for her, accidents in the house are almost non existent now, she is scratching at the door to go potty time and she is a little hellion most of the day but we love her, I am very excited to work with her in the spring and look forward keeping you updated with her progression. Merry Christmas to you and your family, stay safe and we will chat later.
Craig & Liz.

When I joined Red Square in 2013 the office used different pieces of software to keep track of daily tasks. The creative team used Things, while production, my team, used Wunderlist. I was encouraged, along with the rest, to keep track of tasks using the software.
Here's the thing though—the best designed to-do list isn't a piece of software, it's a pen and a piece of paper. No matter how simple the app is, it will have more cognitive overhead than writing it on a piece of paper.

Last week-end was the Made In Asia convention in Brussels. While I was much too busy to take a look at what the other exposers had to show, it has been a really great (but exhausting) week-end for me and the other belgian independant game developers. I definitely received nothing but positive feedback from the people who tried Healer Quest. Lost Spirits of Kael's trailer got a lot of attention too, despite our playable demo that was far from polished.
Healer Quest trailer was even featured on the belgian television's main news show at 7PM for about 10 seconds!
So now I try to polish the game a little bit more. People discovered a few minor bugs that are already history, but more importantly I worked on stability. I also need to rethink some part of my monetization to make the free to play experience less hardcore.

Seagate to Acquire LSI Flash Business from Avago
Seagate was an early investor in SandForce. At one time, we expected to read about Seagate acquiring the company that brought SSDs to the mainstream market but LSI stepped in before that could happen. As part of LSI, SandForce contributed to two product divisions, Accelerated Solutions Division and Flash Components Division. Seagate will acquire both for $450 million in cash.
The acquisition strengthens Seagate's position in the SSD market. Seagate also has a strategic agreement in place with Samsung for advanced NAND flash supply. Current Seagate 600 SSDs use Micron NAND flash and Seagate 1200 SSDs use Samsung flash so the company has the flash side covered.
The acquisition comes at a good time for everyone involved. The SandForce team has the most anticipated NAND flash controller coming to market later this year, SF370. The SF3700 is the first controller to run both SATA and PCIe on the same silicon and early first hand testing at LSI's AIS event last year proved SandForce's claims of over 1800 MB/s sequential reads.
Seagate has already displayed SF3700 in M.2 form factor at Flash Memory Summit last year. This means Seagate has already been working on new products based on SandForce's latest silicon.
As mentioned, there are two divisions coming to Seagate. The Accelerated Solutions Division is responsible for products like LSI's Nytro products that merge LSI RAID hardware with SandForce hardware.

SSDs could soon be 300% faster thanks to a simple new trick
SSDs are already incredibly fast, pushing 500MB/sec in read/write speeds for around $200 - but how does a 300% speed increase sound to you? Yeah, I thought so. Well, a team from Japan's Chuo University have developed a new technology which solves some of the speed hurdles of SSDs associated with "garbage collection" on solid state drives.
The team has come up with an easy solution, which uses a "logical block address scrambler" which reduces the effects of the fragmentation, while at the same time reduces the amount of copies required during garbage collection. This new technology used on an SSD during their testing saw an increase in write speeds of a huge 300%, which also included a 60% reduction in power consumption, and a 55% decrease in write/erase cycles.
We don't know when, or even if this new technology will make it to SSDs in the near future - but if it does, it should see itself baked into SSDs over the next couple of years.
Overland Storage merges with who?
Overland Storage, Inc., a manufacture of tape libraries and network storage devices, is merging with a little known company located in Canada, Sphere 3D. According to the earning reports announced the same day, the combined company will, "deliver a new purpose built virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) appliance and software defined storage solution, which will include Overland's NAS platform and be delivered through Overland's channel partners."
Terms of the deal state each share of Overland common stock will be exchanged for 0.510594 common shares of Sphere 3D. That equates to roughly $4.43 per Overland share which recently (May 9th) was trading at $2.63 per share. Interesting to note - the surge in share price and volume from May 9th until the announcement on May 15th. Certainly, it could not be attributed to stellar sales results as the quarterly earnings report presented on May 15th resembles every report for the past several years - millions of dollars of losses.
This merger is just one more in a long string of M&A activity with Overland. Most notably, the acquisition of Snap Appliances for a mere $3.6M in 2008, just four years after Adaptec bought Snap for nearly $100M. More recently, in November of last year, Overland merged with Tandberg, one of the other long standing tape library leaders. Throughout all of these mergers, every new incarnation continuously bled money while trying to find a path out of being the tired, old tape vendor.

SanDisk announces the launch of the X300s, a self-encrypting SSD
Today SanDisk unveiled the all new X300s, its first self-encrypting solid state drive. The X300s utilizes CG Opal 2.0 and Microsoft Encrypted Hard Drive hardware-based encryption, as well as a new SSD administration dashboard that allows for easier audit and compliance management. These new features allow the X300s to deliver maximum data protection performance that in-turn gives IT managers peace of mind.
"Businesses of all sizes want computers that are reliable, secure, built to last and are easy to support remotely," said Kevin Conley, senior vice president and general manager, client storage solutions at SanDisk. "For the enterprises that deploy hundreds or even thousands of laptops, it's essential that their IT departments be able to centrally and securely manage these devices. The X300s, designed with SanDisk's world-class flash, helps corporate IT leaders not only deliver the heightened performance and lower TCO that flash is known for, but also addresses data protection and security needs, without business disruption."

Samsung unveils its 1.5TB wireless media streamer for Android devices
Samsung and Seagate have teamed up for some massive storage for Android users, with the Samsung Wireless media device featuring a whopping 1.5TB. This is enough to hold a serious amount of media, or any other files you need stored.
The device can handle up to five users connected to it wirelessly, without the need of an Internet connection. Android-powered devices running Gingerbread or higher can access it, as well as Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.6 or later. Samsung's Wireless media device can also act as an Internet gateway for those same five devices, on top of allowing users to connect through USB 3.0 for direct access.
It continues to get better, with the Samsung Wireless capable of charging Android devices, too. All of this comes at a price of $179, and is available across the world right now.

Sony can now store 185TB on tape cartridges
Just when I was getting used to the idea of 8TB and 16TB SSDs, Sony comes out an teases that it is capable of storing a massive 185TB of data on a new magnetic tape material. The company can now store data at 148 gigabits per square inch, which is a massive 74 times the density of standard tapes.
Sony has said that this now represents the highest recording density for the medium, where it can now begin making tape cartridges that could store 185TB of data. Comparing this to what is currently used, the LTO-6 (Linear Tape-Open) which has a density of 2 gigabits per square inch, equating to just 2.5TB per cartridge.
The newly developed technology is made possible by Sony using a kind of vacuum thin film-forming technology called sputter deposition. This process involves shooting ions at a polymer film substrate, which produces layers of magnetic crystal particles. After which tweaks are down to sputter conditions, developing a soft magnetic underlayer on the film.
This allowed the Japanese giant to create a layer of fine magnetic particles, with an average size of just 7.7nm. Sony wants to advance the thin-layer deposition technologies, where it hopes to commercialize its new storage product in the future.
SanDisk teases 8TB SSDs for next year, 16TB SSDs in 2016
It wasn't long ago when SanDisk unveiled the world's first SSD with 4TB capacity, but now we're hearing about 8TB and 16TB SSDs - things that should really begin to excite everyone.
The storage giant believes that flash-based storage devices will begin leaving mechanically driven HDDs for dust when it comes to both performance, and capacity - in at least one market segment. Mission-critical storage applications are very important, as is the entire enterprise storage market. SanDisk now plans 6TB and 8TB drives by next year.
SanDisk has confirmed 6TB and 8TB Optimus Max SSDs for next year, but even better, we have 16TB drives on the map for 2016. Right now, the price per GB is still higher than most would like it - sitting at around $2 per GB for consumer SSDs. But by 2017, this will drop to close to $0.50, which is when we should see some gigantic, and much cheaper SSDs.
SanDisk Optimus Max SCSI SAS SSD is the first to 4TB
The majority of us mostly know SanDisk for its consumer products. It makes all sorts of stuff like SSDs, flash drives, and storage cards for cameras and smartphones. SanDisk has announced the launch of a new product in its enterprise product series that it says is a first for the industry.
The product is the SanDisk Optimus Max SCSI SAS SSD in a 4TB capacity. SanDisk says that its new storage solution outpaces the highest capacity 2.5-inch 10k and 15k rpm SAS HDDs. The new product is aimed directly at the data center. Pricing on the drives is unannounced at this time.

I once had Kasparian's book "Drawn". Of course he was Russian and so you have to do without the familiar language in English countries of origin. I found the book fascinating and was wondering why I never saw anything about him in Chess Life and Review?
He was mostly a Composer , one of the best ever appeared.He was the first ever composer that received the title of Grandmaster of Chess Composition.He is very well known in East Europe but unfortunately very few know him in the Western world.
Does anyone know if his book on drawn positions is still available? I either gave or sold my copy of the book many years ago.
There's a book entitled "Positional Draw" by Kasparian, not sure whether it is the equivalent of "Drawn!"...
Thanks. Anyone in the US sell the book?
Checking ebay.com periodically is probably the best bet. As of today, there are five Kasparian books auctioned, but not the ones you want.

I am creating a JSP page which has one Upload button(to upload XLS and later update this data in DB). As soon as user will click on Upload button it will read the XLS file and prepare a list of objects that will be passed to a method (m1(List a)) to execute SQL queries. Now the problem is that i have around 100 sql queries in this method(m1(List a)), that takes around 30 min to get completed. So I don't want user to wait until this method completes DB process. Is there any way i can call my method to update DB and without waiting for the response of this DB operation, i can respond to user that file has been uploaded and DB process has been initiated that will be completed after some time.

Hand off the work to be done outside of the request-response cycle to an ExecutorService.
Make sure that, since this is a webapp, you have a way to shut down the ExecutorService when the webapp is stopped - which will also give the ExecutorService a chance to finish any in-progress work before allowing the container to stop.
