Good Morning!!!!
Posted by deemarie5500 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 9, 06 at 8:53
I am sooooo upset! Changed purses yesterday and left Donna's number in there. Apologies Donna. Not sure if you saw that traffic! We parked over 3/4 mile away and had to walk in. The festival was so crowded that we could barely move around and only stayed 2 hours. Maybe some other time.
Good Morning again.
It is so nice to have this extra day off. I don't know how much I will get done as I have to bring my cat to the vet and drive for football practice. It does not sound like much, just interruptions. I get so much more done if I can just keep going nonstop.
My nephew's wife, Kim, was crowned Mrs. Essex County yesterday at the Topsfield Fair. Some of you New Englanders around here will probably know what that is. She is beautiful inside and out and I a thrilled for her!
I'll post the link to the article if anyone wants to read about her, but unfortunately they don't post the pictures online.
Not much else new. Seems like I'm always busy though. Today I am making menus for myself from the WW CORE plan and then going food shopping. I am hoping to be able to stay focused on it this week if I am prepared.
Have a great day!
Love, Besh

Here is a link to Mrs. Essex County pictures from the fair's website. If you click into more pictures, there is a picture down the bottom of the whole family. The cute bald guy is my nephew. I know how much this group likes pictures so I thought I would share!

No worries, another time. Yes, I did see that traffic, it was totally insane!! Sunday was madness because of Saturday's bad weather. Definitely another time!
Besh, I will check out the link, how cool. Do you like core?
I am so excited, I am going to Maine next week!! Kennebunkport to be precise. I was there a few years ago and loved it. I know it's a touristy place and coming from one of those I usually don't like it but that coastline certainly recharges my batteries. Of course being a Jersey girl I love our coastline and marshes.
Will check in tomorrow!! Have a great night!!
Good morning all,
I have finally recovered from my weekend camping trip. It is the one we host in our town and it was just glorious. The weather was perfect, in spite of dips down to the mid 30's each night, and the foliage was a peak, AND there was a full moon. We went on moonlight rides both Friday and Saturday and it was a blast. Poor Sweet Pea is tired as she got triple duty, riding, driving and moonlight riding each day. I was exhausted when I got home Sunday afernoon.
Donna, I don't find Kennybunkport "touristy" in a honky tonk kind of way. It's a very special place as is most of the Maine coast. It's a nice time of year to go too. The only honky tonk places I think of in Maine are just as you cross the border from NH like York. I am glad you will have a relaxing time to recharge. Where will you be staying?
Besh, thanks for sharing the link to Mrs. Essex County. Very pretty woman. Can you believe how wonderful the weather is? We have not had a hard from here yet which is unheard of!! I love it.
I am beginning to be very concerned about our little family here. There are so many who are not checking in even once in a while to say hello and let us know they are alright. I for one hope this forum is not in jeapordy of falling apart due to lack of participation. Please all you MIA's check in.
I need to start getting inspired to write my next article about this past weekend's camping trip. There is certainly no lack of inpsiration just time!!
Donna - That is very exciting. I love Maine but have never been to Kennebunkport.
Suzanne - what a perfect weekend for your campout - I forgot about it - I am sure SP was very proud to have been in such demand LOL.
Besh - thanks for the link. She is beautiful and has a lovely family - including YOU.
Dee - I am sure you will make meeting Donna happen soon.
DD#1 is on her way to San Diego to live. It has been a week of ups and downs for me. I am very excited for her new life, but sad that there will be so many miles between us.
I have concerns about our group too. I have emailed a couple MIA's and haven't heard back. If you read this, just give us a quick hello.
Good TUESDAY morning!
Donna, I feel better that you are so understanding. My sister and DBIL were with us (they sold their Eagles tix), and then we ran into a very long-lost cousin, so the few hours we had flew by! I'm still looking forward to meeting for lunch...maybe in the Brick area? I'll send you another e:mail.
Trying really hard to control eating this week, but I'm absolutely craving carbs. Eating the good carbs (whole grains), but they do nothing for the weight. Now they are scaring us about lettuce? What's left for us? LOL!!!
Gotta get down to some serious work here; we will be a few people down by year-end as they have cut the division by 15%. A sign of the times I guess, but I was extremely fortunate to keep my position (with about 50% more work!) Is that good news or bad news?
Take care, eat healthfully, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!
Good Afternoon,
I had Jury Duty today so I am home a little early. I wasn't picked. They went through 60 jurors to pick 14; thankfully I was #81.
Dee, sorry about the work load. You should ask for 50% more salary, and they would still be saving! Layoffs are so scary. I've been threatened by 3 of them in the last 2 years, fortunatetly I am still working. It is very unnerving though.
Raeanne (((HUGS))). Do you think that this is a permanent move? My DS is leaving on Wednesday for a couple of job interviews in Virginia. My heart breaks to think about it. I am greatful that we will be on the same coast, but I am still so sad. Friends of ours that live in MA, have a son in CA, one in CO and a daughter in NY. I just can't imagine. Come here anytime you need a hug!
Suzanne, what a weekend you had for camping!!! There definitely won't be many more.
Donna, I also love Kennybunkport. What a great time of year to head north. I also love York. It depends on what you are in the mood for. We used to go every summer and bring the kids to Yorks Wild Kingdom and then spend the night in downtown York Beach. I loved it (especially watching the taffy pull).
I am also worried about the rest of our group. I know that I was MIA for a while and am so happy to be back. I hate to see us just fall apart after all of these years. Please check in everyone.
Does anyone watch Nip/Tuck? DH and I are so hooked on this show. Can't wait for tonight!
Love, Besh
Dee, I'm glad you were able to spend the time with your family and catch up with a long lost cousin. Lunch in Brick could work, send me an email when you can and after my vacation we can work out details! I know your DS and DBIL must be thrilled with the Eagles win over Dallas. It sure felt good to kick TO's butt!
((Raeanne)), it sure is rough when someone you love, especially your kids, lives so far away. I think the emotions you have been experiencing are perfectly normal. Are you planning your first visit yet??
Besh, jury duty, yuck. I'm glad you didn't get picked. I get called every 3 years like clockwork. I was lucky this year - my week fell this summer during the week the NJ government shut down for budgetary reasons. When I called the jury office about reporting when the state 'reopened' the message said we were excused and would not be called for at least another 3 years - yeah!!
I am so glad you all like Kennebunkport! I visited there for the first time about 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. Suzanne I agree, it is not honky tonk at all. It's really a charming village and the people were so friendly. We are staying at a place called the Green Heron Inn. It's a small place that is a couple blocks away from the beach. I'm going with some family and friends and we are staying in the separate cottage they have on their property. Besh, I agree that it is a perfect time to head north - it is so beautiful. I love the ocean and even now only live about 15 miles from it. I grew up only a block from the Atlantic and have spent my entire life near it. I find the NJ coast and our marshes beautiful but Maine's coast is so different - I just love it!
I am leaving on Sunday and will be home Thursday...just a short trip but definitely one that is desperately needed.
Besh, I saw Nip/Tuck a couple times last year but not since. A show that is not new but I just found is Criminal Minds, I think on Wednesday nights. I really like it!
Enjoy your evening!!
Here is a link that might be useful: Green Heron Inn
Good Morning All,
Raeanne, ((((HUGS))))) I know how close you are to your girls and I know it must be hard to have one so far away! I am sure it will all work out the way it's supposed to.
Besh, I watch Nip Tuck but I have not tuned in this season yet at all!! I took it out of my Season Pass manager and forgot to put it back in. How many episodes have I missed of the new season? I hope I didn't insult you with my remark about York....we used to bring the kids there each summer too and that's all I can remember is Yorks Wild Kingdom which I hated because I don't beleive the animals are treated well..........that's just me LOL
Donna, your Green Heron Inn looks lovely. I hope you have divine weather and if it's not I am sure you will make the best of it. I find the coast of Maine very unique.
Anyone here watch Lost? That is one of my fav's.
Good WEDNESDAY Afternoon!
Donna that Inn looks so lovely...so does the breakfast! Hope you have a wonderful time.
I just returned from my company's Community Involvement Day. My department went to a local Veterans' hospital to paint ceiling tiles with whimsical designs. It was so incredibly satisfying and enjoyable....really gives you a warm-fuzzy all over! We painted over 100 tiles; wish I was able to take a picture.
I am really looking forward to this trip..I hope the weather is great but Suzanne is right, if not we will definitely have a great time anyway. Dee, the breakfasts are good, we ate there the last time in Kennebunkport. I think I will hold off strictly following my 1500 calorie diet until after I get home.
Dee, your company's community involvement day sounds great. I'm sure the residents enjoyed how much brighter things look now!
Not much going on at this end of the world, rainy but still warm. It's supposed to change and get seasonably cooler by tomorrow or Friday. Criminal Minds comes on tonight so I will watch that.
Take care - have a great night - talk to ya tomorrow!
Good Morning All,
One MIA checking in.
It's been an awful week here. DH best friend was killed Saturday in a wreck. It's heartbreaking. I can't get a grip on it yet. I keep expecting to see his work truck go by. I haven't shed this many tears in a long time.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Jen, I am so sorry for you and Galen and his friends family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Donna, you are no doubt long gone but have a great time in Maine. I think you will have great weather although a little cold! Who cares!!
I continue to be concerned about our mia's and wonder what is going on that is making it so quiet here. Maybe we should all try reaching out to some of them via email. I know Raeanne has emailed a couple of people, Tikanis and BJ and got no response. I don't know what to do to get everyone back here. Any ideas??
Besh - good idea, let's bombard them with snail mail! I have addresses too.
Suzanne - We can start up some nasty rumors like we did with BJ and John LOL.
Jen - my thoughts and prayers are still with you and Galen.
Donna - I hope you brought your long johns with you brrrrr.
It is brisk here today, but the sky is the prettiest shade of blue and the leaves are still full of color (at least the ones that are still on the trees).
Enjoy your weekend!
I'm leaving early tomorrow morning but have got tons of stuff to get done today. Wanted to jump on quick and say hi. I've got plenty of warm stuff ready to be packed. I am a last minute packer, seem to do better that way!
I hope you guys can catch up with some of those MIAs.
Will check back in on Friday - get home late Thursday.
Have a great week....Donna
Brrr is right! I just came back from taking DS to Pittsburgh for a wedding. I went shopping after and I nearly froze!
I was thinking of writing to Patti to see how she is. And where is Milkdud? If enough of us write, maybe they will realize how much we miss them.
Donna - Have a great trip!!!
Jen - Yes, you and Galen continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Haven't done anything worthwhile yet this weekend, so I had better get some stuff done. DS came in last night and we had a nice visit. He bought a townhouse in FL, so I guess he isn't thinking of moving home anytime soon.
((Raeanne)) - I know EXACTLY how you are feeling about DD moving across country. It is possible to be excited for them and secretly wishing they would change their minds at the same time!
Donna - glad we didn't miss you - have a great trip - the inn looks beautiful.
Marci - I can't believe DS bought townhouse - that is great (for him). I knew you would know EXACTLY how I feel LOL. I forgot to mention that I did make her a scrapbook/journal and afterwards I was sure she would think it was a bit silly - but she absolutely loved it - DD#2 wanted to know where her's was - so looks like I have to make at least one more. It was a lot of fun to put together. I made a cd holder on the inside of the front cover and burned a cd with all traveling and california songs. The possibilities are endless!
I think I am doing laundry duty tomorrow - so if anyone cares to join me I will be around.
Hi Raeanne,
I just talked to my Mom for about an hour, I vacuumed earlier and now I am heading for the grocery store. After that I am helping DS with some practice PSAT questions, probably some MORE laundry (I did about 6 loads yesterday), cook dinner and then watch Desperate Housewives later. And that is about it.
Enjoy the pot roast. It is definitely post roast season!
Love, Besh

Lawsuits in Fatal Va. Engine Crash Tell Different Tales
Fire Chief Posey W. Dillon
Photo credit: Rocky Point Fire Department
Firefighter William D. "Danny" Altice
Photo credit: Rocky Point Fire Department
Two lawsuits have been filed in connection with a fatal 2010 fire truck collision that provide new and conflicting information about the crash.
Longtime Rocky Mount firefighters Posey Dillon and William Altice were killed July26, 2010, when a fire truck on its way to a house fire crashed into an SUV, flipped three times and landed on a car, according to police reports at the time.
Christine Altice-Weaver, executor of Altice's estate, filed a $2million lawsuit against Teri Anne Valentine, driver of the SUV, and Kimble Reynolds Sr., administrator of Dillon's estate, on March 26, according to Franklin County Circuit Court records.
The lawsuit also asks for taxable costs incurred with interest since the date of the wreck. And on April26, Valentine filed a $275,000 lawsuit, plus costs, against Reynolds as the administrator of Dillon's estate for negligence the day of the wreck. The lawsuits provide conflicting information about whether Dillon, the Rocky Mount fire chief and the town's vice mayor, turned on the truck's lights and sirens before entering the intersection at Old Franklin Turnpike and School Board Road where the fire truck and Valentine's SUV collided.
According to state police reports that day and both lawsuits, the SUV entered the intersection on a green light and the fire truck on a red. Valentine's suit states "Upon information and belief, the Fire Truck did not have its lights and sirens in use when it entered the Intersection."
The lawsuit states that Valentine was not aware of the fire truck entering the intersection until she saw the sun reflecting off the fire truck, and she immediately applied the brakes. At the time, state police said the truck's lights and sirens were on when it entered the intersection.
Altice-Weaver's lawsuit states that Dillon did have the lights and sirens on. "Ms. Valentine drove her Escape into the Intersection without stopping or slowing down and in complete disregard of the flashing lights and warning sirens that were allegedly operating on the approaching Fire Truck." According to reports at the time, the fire engine was eastbound on Old Franklin Turnpike near U.S. 220, responding to a report of a person trapped in a house fire in the Franklin County community of Union Hall, driven by Dillon with Altice in the passenger seat, police said.
Dillon swerved when a silver Ford Escape, driven by Valentine, drove into the intersection on a green light. The SUV struck the truck, which was loaded with 1,000 gallons of water, in the side and flipped from the shifting weight of the water, police said at the time.
Both lawsuits allege that Dillon was negligent in driving the fire truck when he did not stop or slow down before driving into the intersection against the Rocky Mount Fire Department and the International Association of Fire Chiefs protocol.
In January 2011, a grand jury rejected indictments against Valentine. Prosecutors had sought charges of vehicular manslaughter, reckless driving and failure to yield against her in the crash.

Last Friday I got a mixed sixer with some of my old favorites. Torpedo and 60min. I also threw in some 90 min. They were all a little past prime. The 90 min was the worst of the three. I was unimpressed.
See folks, my pipeline ran dry. St patties day saw people begging for my brews and not even finishing their open commercial beers. They were all good friends so I have them what they wanted.
Back to Friday night... I was half way through the sixer when it happened. I went to bottle my small beer.as I lifted the old sweatshirt that blocks my beer from evil doctor UV and there it was. A beautiful bomber of iipa.
I popped the top.I drew a breath of wonderful hop aroma. The amber river of light maltiness poured smoothly down the side of the glass. A dense head rose, bringing the ibu's ever closer to my lips. It was the best sip of beer I've ever savored.
I realize that I have little for fresh beer here in Maine. Either way, I find it nearly impossible to shell out a premium for old, tasteless beer.
Homebrewing has ruined what I used to know as the best bottled beer around!

I can get fresh stuff here. I love my home brew but still enjoy a nice commercial oatmeal stout. I also usually have a fat tire or an assorted IPA laying around as well.
Sent from my iPad using Home Brew
I'm sorry I should have been more descriptive. there is good beer pretty much anywhere you go in the US. I wasn't counting overpriced craft brews bottled in bombers or some of the great fresh drafts we can get. I can brew a batch of beer for what two bombers would cost and I only drink out probably once every few years. to be fair I had a fresh sea dog draft a few months ago. it was good but I still pay through the nose for it.

Clive Owen may dig into Colin Firth's sloppy seconds.
The "Killer Elite" star has been offered a part Firth just passed on, that of the villain in Spike Lee's "Oldboy", according to Twitch.
Firth, seemingly not keen on tarnishing that Mr. Right image by wearing the guise of a nasty pastie, knocked back the chance to play against type opposite Josh Brolin in the remake of the Asian fave. Interestingly enough, Firth was the second choice for the role anyway; Christian Bale received first dibs.
Owen, who seems far less picky these days ("Killer Elite", "The International" and "Trust" all went down like lead balloons at the box office – and with audiences), has been offered the part of the kidnapper. We await his answer anxiously.
Lee had worked with Owen on "The Inside Man"; they had planned to reunite on a sequel to that particular film before it didn't come to fruition.

dont know if this has been done or in some thread....looked only saw beer that just it
anyone use goya mango nectar to make wine with...saw it at the local market and thaught nwow can i make wine with this stuff...only one way to find out
its a 33.8 fl.oz.or 1L -INGREDIENTS-water,mango puree,liquid invert sugar,modifield corn starch,citric acid,natural flavorand ascorbic acid
looks like no preservitives in so i am going to give it a try and see what happens gunna add 2 bottles for a gallon batch( will post what i used in a little bit0
any advice or if anyone has used this to make wine would be much obliged.
thanks for viewing and or helping
Have used mango puree like Goya, high volume loss due to lots of lees. Wine was nice.
Maybe use 2L puree and top up to one gallon with Welch's 100% white grape peach mango. Consider exceeding one gallon so you have extra for topping up as the pulp drops out.
Motto: quel che sara sara
well it started out at 1.030
made it 1.100 gunna dry it out to .995 and to vino calulator its gunna be 13.965% .....
2-33.8 oz goya mango nectar
about 30 raisins
1tsp yeast nut
1/2tsp pctic en
1/2 tsp acid blend
1/2tsp wine tannin
dont know how much sugar just pour small amounts till i got to 1.100
have 71b-1122 yeast laying around so thats what im using
for a gallon batch and have exta to top off with
gunna rack every month untill it clears
My Mango Wine Before
And my mango wine AFTER.... and I did add glass marbles to top up the headspace, just had not done so when I took the photo, plus it still had one more racking after I dropped the temp on it for three weeks.
We have also used their mango juice and like Sara plan on loosing at least 30%, just get another bottle or two, make a 2 gallon batch and rack off the good stuff after its settled. If you let it go dry and the fermentation slows way down the pulp will compact a little more. If you have any Asian markets near you, they often sell mango puree, another good source of just plus pulp but you are going to make a lot extra anyway. Thier black currant also makes a good wine, and their peach is good to add to other white wines to add to their flavor. WVMJ
heres what it looks like when i made it.....they have mango-pear-papaya-pineapple-at the market...gunna have to get maore maybe mix all four..be a nice fruity summer wine
I used to have Oscars, mine got a foot long in a 55. WVMJ
Only have one Oscar in a 75 gallon 7 months old and about 8-8.5 inches...wine is bubbling away can't wait to try it
keep em cuming every ten minutes or just give me the bottle
I dont think you made enough to get a gallon out of it after the less settle out, you might want to mix up another one so you get a gallon out of it. My oscars loved crayfish, their orange would glow when they saw the first crawfish being dropped in. WVMJ
Yaa I made some extra in a half gallon jug....wasn't sure if it would foam up to much gonna add it once it slows done....gonna need more gallon carboys thinking gonna make pear next

Target's ads targeting Canadian shoppers start soon
TORONTO -- Two years after U.S. retailer Target announced plans to move into the Canadian marketplace, the company is nearly ready for its north of the border television debut.
On Sunday, during the first hour of the Oscars ceremony, the company will showcase its first Canadian TV commercial touting its entry into the "neighbourhood."
The 60-second spot paints the Target brand as a friendly new neighbour, set to a remake of the theme from Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood recorded by Canadian band Dragonette.
In the commercial, a woman rides a motorcycle with the Target dog sitting in the sidecar, as the two scoot cross-country past numerous landmarks and events. Brief nods are made to Moving Day in Quebec, ice skating in Toronto and a lighthouse in St. John's.
There are "some little cultural nuances and insights that we weaved in," said Livia Zufferli, marketing director of Target Canada in an interview.
"We wanted to just celebrate Canada."
The commercial was directed by Mark Palansky, the Canadian who recently made Penelope, a fantastical romantic comedy starring Christina Ricci.
A different version of the commercial will air during La Voix in Quebec, with an original song penned by local band Alfa Rococo.
Print advertisements will also begin to appear in newspapers and online next month.
Target plans a national rollout of its 124 Canadian stores starting next month in Ontario before moving onto provinces in the West throughout the year and eventually into Quebec. The company hasn't announced any official opening dates.
While fanfare around the launch has been strong over the past few months, the company will have its share of challenges ahead, particularly when it comes to living up to its low-priced image. Canadians who live near the U.S. border commonly head south to take advantage of cheaper retail prices, and some have questioned whether Target can truly replicate its stores north of the border.
Other U.S. retailers such as Walmart sell many items cheaper than other competitors in Canada, but they are often still notably more expensive than the U.S., even when taking the currency exchange rate into consideration.
"It's a different market to do business in, and different factors that impact pricing," Zufferli said.
"For us it comes back to being as competitive as we can in the Canadian market."
Canadian consumers have "low-priced benchmarks in their minds," and they will be "pleasantly surprised" with the new Target stores, she said. Some prices will be higher while others will be lower than the U.S. locations.
Target also offers an additional five per cent discount when customers pay with their branded Red Card, which is available as either a debit or credit card.
Target spent more than five years weighing its entry into Canada before making the move in 2010 when it acquired most of the real estate assets operated by Zellers.
Ultimately, the company spent about $10 million on each location for renovations both inside and outside the stores, she said.

⬅ Return to A Free Press: The Latest Casualty in the "War on Terror"
Chris Robinette
Aug 19th, 2008 at 2:53pm
Fowarded: President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq. Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not.
Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders.
Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not.
And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war.
Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort.
Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military.
Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted.
And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance, and with prayers for our country and our troops!
Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs co uld be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning.
There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve.
It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and the land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause... Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits. So... We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war. The military is at war.
America is at the mall, or watching the movie stars.
(Remember Obama said in his book 'Audacity of Hope', 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction'.....what better place for the Muslins to control our country, than in the office of the President of USA .

Kimberely, if you really need help with sexual harassment, I don't think the ACLU can help since it's not in their organization's mission. There are plenty of other organizations that can help if you just Google "Sexual harassment legal help"

Myles TurnerHt/Wt: 6'11" / 242 lbs
Position: PF/C
Team: Texas
Class: Freshman
2015 Draft Profile - Myles TurnerStrengths:
Myles Turner is a lengthy center out of Bedford, Texas who competes on both ends of the floor. A well-rounded athlete, Turner is capable of affecting the game in a number of ways.
Turner has the shooting touch to convert on mid-to-long range shots as well as finish around the rim. He hasnt been putting up outrageous numbers so far this season, but he has shot well, converting 49 percent of his shots, 46 percent from three-point range and 87 percent from the stripe.
Turner is a solid rebounder, who works hard on the glass. He does a good job of boxing out at both ends equally and high-pointing the ball, and has the length to reach over smaller players. He currently averages 6.9 rebounds a game with the Texas Longhorns.
Defensively he shines down low, defending the rim extremely well. During five games Turner played for the USA U18 National Team in 2014, he averaged 3.6 blocks per game while winning a gold medal. Turner has gone on to average 2.8 blocks in 16 games so far in his freshman season for the Longhorns.
Although he is big and has the shooting touch of a guard, Turner has limitations to his game. He will have to get stronger to compete with bigs his size, round out his offensive arsenal in the post and adjust to playing at the speed at which more athletic players move.
Turner passes the eye test, but is not extremely athletic. He relies on his length to get around the fact that he doesnt posses a great leaping ability when rebounding, dunking or blocking shots. At times, Turner can also look a bit awkward getting down the court with short, choppy, footsteps.
In the post, Turner still needs to develop the footwork to score or assist consistently. He is a good shooter, but can struggle to get position and retain it for the entry pass. Turner also lacks go-to moves in the post.

the first has five syllables, the second seven syllables, and the third five
syllables. The pattern is 5/7/5 for a total of seventeen syllables. The Senryu is
about an emotional expression, human nature, and things in the human realms
which maybe satiric or humorous.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the console warriors and glorious PC master race types. If you have no particular interest in console gaming, fair enough, it's not your kind of thing. But there are PC gamers who don't get the differences between the two formats and act smugly superior just because they play games on PC, and they are as obnoxious and stupid as the Xbox and PS fanboys.

Consoles are, however, the primary reason the whole "dumbing down" of video games fad even exists.
Not really. That has much more to do with the crazy production costs of modern AAA games, with publishers forcing their developers to focus on "accessibility" rather than catering to niche audiences. If these companies would just stop focusing on trying to make games
nice and instead focused more on novel gameplay, they could make more diverse games with smaller teams. The rise of indie development will hopefully bring an end to that trend.

Any ideas to get LOTS of free dirt?
Howdy! Our build site will need a bunch of dirt to level out some VERY large holes in the ground where we dug out the dirt in order to provide the house pad. As such I'm interested in finding some way to get those filled in. It doesn't have to be any specific grade of dirt, just whatever is available and free if possible.
Anyone have ideas of where I can get free dirt? I was thinking of the county, maybe the folks who build roads and such need to dump the stuff they dig up. Any other ideas?
Check with the guy who did your excavation. Tell him you will take his fill from other excavation projects.
Lucy -- does the BCS in your username mean Bryan College Station? That's where I'm located!
Fill dirt is a funny thing. We had LOTS of leftover dirt from the basement excavation and the pool excavation. We had people stopping by asking for the dirt. We happily told them that they could have it for free, but they had to remove it themselves.
Not one did so we ended up pushing down the mounds and mounds of dirt and raising areas of our property.
Drive around your area. Perhaps there is another house being built that doesn't need the excavated dirt.
What happened to the dirt that was dug out?
Be sure to specify clean fill, and inspect what's being put in the hole. The fill should be, at a minimum, free of wood and other debris. The ideal fill will be subsoil from your area.
A deep hole filled with organics (including topsoil) will continue to settle for many years.
Dirt is what you wash off your hands. You want clean filled covered by topsoil. For a finished flat surface, flood the hole and let the fill settle before adding topsoil.
Unless you're willing to move it yourself, I wouldn't expect to get any of it free. Someone still has to account for their labor, fuel costs etc to get the fill to your property. It's not cheap to run those big trucks and loading equipment!
For instance, we needed a large amt of clay to form the pad for our house and a large shop. Target was building a new store in the area and had hundreds of loads of material to dispose of several miles away. My husband worked out a deal that the fill would be free of charge, but we would pay half the cost of delivering it to our property which was closer than the original disposal location.
Lots of great ideas. Thank you! I've already contacted one pool builder and the engineer at a nearby construction site :)
Lucy -- are you building in Bryan? I'm building on the edge of Wellborn, right by the Brazos River :)
I just got my excavating quote, and more than half of it was the cost of hauling away dirt. I'd love to find someone looking for fill. :/
As it is, I'm thinking of delaying the build of the garage so we can keep it onsite until after the backfill rather than paying to haul it away, and then paying half that again to have more brought in for backfilling the foundation.
yeah, you shouldn't have to pay for the dirt, just the cost of getting it to you. We had tons from our excavation that our builder had to find someone to give it too. So I'd call around to all the builders in your area and ask, they'd be happy to give it to you.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
city, northern Guangdong sheng (province), southern China. It lies along the Bei River at the point where it is formed by the junction of the Wu River, flowing southeast from the borders of Hunan, and the Zhen River, flowing southwest from the borders of Jiangxi province. Shaoguan thus commands not only the principal overland route from Guangzhou (Canton) to central and northern China but also the major route via the river systems into Hunan and the other route via the Meiling Pass into Jiangxi. It thus remained a major transportation centre both when the Hunan route predominated (i.e., before the 6th century and after the construction of the Hankou-Guangzhou railway in 1937, which passes through Shaoguan) and when the Jiangxi route was more important during the intervening centuries.

My logos have been all over the place adn when I found one I liked I realized it wasnt usable on colored backgrounds. Learning slowly. VERY SLOWLY! SO if its really horrible, just tell me its horrible.
|Orange Logos - COrel.jpg
Keep in mind that you will need to make a black and white version for situations in which you can't use full color (for example, in a fax).
Also, it looks like you are using Arial... Please, don't use Arial. So many great san serifs out there! Also, pick a typeface that has a wider range of weights... The two weights you are using in "EKT Group" are not different enough from each other.
In the second example, the "M" overlapping the orange circle doesn't look very good, because it's just the tip... It looks like an unwanted accident. Consider aligning "Managing Success" in some other way, rather than centering it exactly the same as in the first example.
I am working in Corel and there doesnt seem to be a Sans font. Any other suggestions for font?
This is another one I did before, but kind of steered away from.
Sans isn't the name of a font, it's a classification type in typography meaning a type without the small features called "serifs" at the end of strokes.
I use Corel and the font selection is based off of your regular library of fonts, so there should be more then one Sans.
your logos are heavy on style effects and low on concept. It's easy to fall into the trap of adding a few photoshop filters here and trendy widget there.
I'd step back a bit and work conceptually for a while. Sketch out some ideas...no matter how crazy you might think they are, and then look at them and see if if an idea begins to sprout.
Educate yourself and then practice with pencil and paper. You might not have the time to do it for this project (in which case you should admit that to your boss and tell them to find a graphic designer) but practice is the only way you will learn.
Illustration ClassNumerous tutorials on illustration as well as logo/type.
Creative Latitude look for the Graphic Makeovers section.
Thank you for all of your feedback. I will look into the turtorials listed and start over.
Also I am downloading some sans fonts. Are there any in particular you recommend for logo use?
If you're downloading free fonts, they are (probably) not well made. There are a million sans out there, ten million ways to use them well, and ten billion ways to use them poorly. I think that you need to educate yourself and your employer here, because there's not much we can do to help you without doing the work for you. There's a reason that it is a professional skill. It's hard. It takes practice and education and sacrifice. If you had more experience, I'd be more encouraging. But I strongly suggest you hire a professional.

How to care for Bergenia
I have inherited my grandparents garden and need some help with the Bergenia. This is the second season for me in the garden. Don't know how old they are, maybe 20/30 years. I don't think a lot was done with them. I'm wanting to turn this area into a part shade Butterfly/hummingbird garden area. I live is San Mateo, CA and once the Sun gets higher in the sky this part of the garden will get late morning/afternoon sun.
1.) How do I divide them, so I can thin/move them around so I can plant other things that will be for the Butterflies/hummingbird?
2.) What plants will do well with Bergenia and be inviting to Butterflies/Hummingbirds.
Nick Rose
I have dug up an entire clump, shaken off the dirt, broken off pieces with roots and leaves, and replanted.
Abutilons in red, orange or raspberry are hummingbird magnets. They do get tall with time (10 ft.). Very easy to root from a piece, aka Japanese False Maple.
Columbines take the same conditions. Hostas may need more water than bergenias. Coral Bells.
Do NOT plant Phygelis as did I, thinking the large container would prevent it from taking over.

Small businesses still grappling with social media benefits
Apr 7th
Optimism about the economy and the use of social media pervade a new report called the Small Business Success Index, a survey sponsored by Network Solutions® and the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business. A few highlights from this wide-ranging report:
Technology investments on the rise. One way that small businesses responded to improving sales last year was to return to investing in technology. The perceived importance of internet business solutions (IBS) such as websites grew in the past six months; 42 percent consider IBS as highly important to their success, compared to only 33 percent back in June of 2010, which was actually the lowest percentage in five years.
Over half of small businesses (56 percent) now have websites, up from 46 percent a year ago (still an opportunity!). Social media is now used by almost a third of small businesses (31 percent), up from 24 percent a year ago and 12 percent two years ago.
Searching for Search. 27 percent of small businesses have a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) plan, up from 19 percent a year ago. The only internet business solution in the survey that dropped is the purchase of online advertising in directories, a category that may be affected by the ability to use SEO and social media to find customers without spending. However, many small businesses plan to add online directory ads in the future.
Small business continues to embrace social media. There is almost universal awareness among small business owners of Facebook and Twitter, while half are aware of LinkedIn. The most commonly used social media sites are Facebook (used by 27 percent of all small businesses) and LinkedIn (18 percent). The growth in social media is not cutting into investments in company websites, and is actually contributing to their expansion; 62 percent of social media users feel their use of this medium has no effect on their web investments, while 27 percent believe it will result in greater spending (only 9 percent would spend less or forgo their website).
…But are still confused about it. Small businesses are still grappling with how to get the most out of social media, not surprising because so many users are "newbies." Owners more often feel that their use of social media has fallen short of expectations (36 percent) than exceeded their expectations (9 percent), and this gap has increased over past survey waves. The main accomplishments from using social media include:
- staying engaged with customers
- developing higher awareness of the company
- identifying and attracting new customers.
Mixed financial results. When asked about their experiences to date with this medium, 63 percent of owners feel it has helped make their customers more loyal, but 56 percent feel it has taken up more time than they expected. Summing up the bottom-line, 25 percent of small business owners estimate that their investment in social media has made a profit while 15 percent estimate they have lost money; the remainder (46 percent) feel they broke even.
Mobile is on the way, maybe. Owners are learning to deploy social media in a mobile context. Of those who use social media already, 47 percent use social media to send text messages to customers, while the same share (47 percent) use their mobile devices to respond to other people's comments on social media sites.
Despite their use of mobile devices for routine interactions with social media, small businesses are skeptical that a broader use of mobile marketing can provide tangible value to their businesses right now. Most owners consider mobile marketing to be "ahead of its time" (24 percent) for small business or "cutting edge" (36 percent). Only 15 percent of small business owners believe that mobile marketing would be "extremely" or "very valuable" to their enterprise, and another 20 percent feel it would be "somewhat" valuable. This attitude is largely unchanged after owners hear more about detailed uses of mobile marketing.
And you? What are you seeing from small businesses out there? Does this research reflect your own experiences?
Four Easy Ideas to Humanize Your Brand on the Social Web
Apr 6th
By Sidneyeve Matrix, Contributing {grow} Columnist
We know that people prefer to connect with other people, not brands. Not too long ago, Mark wrote about how one of the biggest mistakes you can make in online branding is using a logo instead of a headshot photo in your Twitter profile. Coming out from behind your logo is a big step toward humanizing your brand, so too is using humor to engage, and giving your network a peek behind the curtain of your official brand message. Here's a roundup of four other creative communication strategies you might try to increase the emotional and personal engagement factors in your online messaging.
1. Lifecasting. A new study from communications scholars at Elizabethtown College published in The Chronicle of Higher Education confirms what we already knew to be true — being human sets thought leaders apart. The study found that professors who post tweets about their personal lives earn higher credibility rankings in student teaching assessments of their professional capabilities. The researchers concluded that those tweeters who appear to "go beyond knowledge transfer" to include personal updates in their microblogging streams seem more caring and engaged. There's no equation for us to use in determining the right mix of personal and professional updates, but try adding personal touches to your stream.
2. Storytelling. Whether in video, audio, text or snapshots—everyone seems to agree that great stories are what make brands (and people) more emotionally compelling and human. But if you're like me, stories don't just appear on cue when I most need them. A bit of help from books and podcasts and even filmmakers can inspire and provide a blueprint for structuring stories. Using carefully selected personal stories is an essential part of many entrepreneurial branding initiatives (think Ralph Lauren, Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart) and you'll notice that celebrities follow a few classic storylines when narrating their life lessons, adventures, and accomplishments.
3. Video. A step up from still snapshots, video blogging adds personality faster than any multimedia format — pictures tell a thousand words, but moving pictures have an immediacy like none other. A Flip camcorder is an inexpensive way to take the video plunge. Up the ante on your videos with some relatively inexpensive editing software (I'm using Camtasia for Mac right now) and intro and outro music (take a listen at to royalty-free tracks at AudioJungle but be warned, there's so much amazing sound there you might get caught up in endless sampling). YouTube is the obvious choice for uploads, but check out Vimeo too, where the vibe is a little more creative than commercial. Looking for ideas for videos that are not adverts? Profile your employees—testimonial videos are not just for recruitment pages. More ideas here.
4. Audio. Add your voice to your website and you'll instantly become more personable. Podcasts don't have to be elaborate productions, in fact experts agree that shorter is better-and it's easier to be concise if you're working from a script. Obviously in podcasting, top quality audio matters, so you might want to invest in a professional digital recorder. I use an Edirol R-09HR. For editing, Audacity is a free download that's easy to use. Need inspiration for your podcasts? Check out the ever-expanding range of themes and formats on iTunes.
The recipe for a humanized online brand is composed of 1 part personality, 1 part emotionality, and a generous measure of creativity!
How are you humanizing your brand on the social web? What brands are doing a great job?

Five Mega-trends: How Social Media is Transforming Government
Apr 4th
I've had the honor of providing business strategy consultation recently to a UK agency and in the process became immersed in current uses of social media in government. I learned so much that I considered a five-part series on the topic, but one post will have to do for now!
There are unique political, security and infrastructure challenges presented by government applications of social media, but the power and potential is awe-inspiring. Let's see if you agree. Here are five significant and fascinating trends …
1) The cry for transparency
"This is a terrible time to be a control freak" – Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State
There is a broad recognition that government information belongs to the people and technology is enabling a new wave of sharing. A best practice is the newly-designed U.S. Goverment Printing Office site where volumes of documents are now available at your finger tips.
Iceland is looking at social media as a method of "sustainable transparency" through a constant flow of information.
Many UK ambassadors are now blogging on a regular basis. Check out this this post presenting a personal view of the situation in Libya. The government also uses podcasts to address foreign policy issues.
Israel Defense Forces has a YouTube channel chronicling its activities.
Both Brazil and South Korea have created national government documentation portals.
Social media will play a major role in ensuring that Nigeria's upcoming national elections are transparent, many predict. Expectations are that the techno-savvy young Nigerians will monitor the 2011 elections civic journalism-style via their accounts on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and blog sites.
A new site, publicmarkup.org, allows citizens to view, and propose suggestions, to specific U.S. federal legislation as it is in process.
A recent Pew Internet study showed the scope of citizen online activities:
- 48% of adult Internet users have looked for information about a public policy or issue
- 41% have downloaded government forms
- 35% have researched government documents or statistics
- 25% have received online advice from a government agency
2) Beyond transparency – citizen engagement
The opportunity of social media and government is not economic or technological. It's emotional." — Aneesh Chopra, CTO of the U.S. Government
I recently had a chance to meet Mr. Chopra, America's first Chief Technology Adviser to the President, who described his role as a government "convener." I love that idea. Under his watch the government has crowd-sourced solutions to make procurement more efficient and reduce waste. A new site called Challenge.gov rewards citizens with cash prizes for solving government problems.
Australia is also experimenting with this concept in its "Government 2.0 Taskforce," which funded 17 projects.
The South African government employed social media to "stimulate a constructive Nation Building debate on values and ethics." The debate took place last week on the Presidency's Facebook page.
NASA has a range of programs that encourage active citizen participation in agency projects. You can even customize your own NASA project page.
The Israeli Consulate in New York City has more than 11,000 Twitter followers and a Klout score (social influence) of a respectable 57.
Studies show that citizens who engage with government online have a more positive view of government. Promoting close online engagement also:
- Creates better decisions by capturing local knowledge
- Increases capacity of society to understand complexity of problems
- Increases public support by legitimizing the solutions
3) Humanizing government
"Social media is not a second website, it's a community." — Tristram Perry, U.S. State Department
Governments are beginning to recognize that people are people and take lessons from how brands are engaging and building an emotional connection with stakeholders. Certainly you would expect a clash between the open culture of social media and the button-up culture of government, but I think the areas that can overcome that institutional hurdle will reap benefits.
- I love that the city of Reno pokes fun at itself with YouTube videos about its problematic, crooked Christmas tree. The city's communications manager Kristy Fifelski even uses a sock puppet in her videos.
- The President of Rwanda Paul Kagame is extremely active on Twitter and responds frankly to issues about his country.
- The U.S. Consulate in Lahore Pakistan is having a Facebook contest and giving away iPods.
- The Love UK Facebook page has discussions about favorite bridges, natural wonders and people of the nation. They attract hundreds of comments on their posts.
- The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta has more Facebook fans than all other embassies combined. Their best practices:
- Spark discussion and give people a reason to belong.
- Know your market and customize your information for your audience.
- Develop unique, engaging content.
- Post regularly.
- Set goals and reassess them periodically.
4) Crisis management
"The Singapore government, as a whole, is not averse to using new media. But we're not completely sure how to use it yet." – Goh Yam Song, Deputy Director, Emergency Preparedness, Singapore
Tragically, our world is always experiencing crises and there are plenty of examples where social media may be the ONLY lifeline available to connect with people.
I watched the US and UK embassies in Tripoli use Facebook to instruct evacuations amidst revolution, connecting its citizens with ferries out of the way of danger.
Israel recently held a Twitter press conference about the situation in Gaza.
Emergency management agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (@FEMAinFocus) or state first responders like the Virginia Department of Emergency Management (@VDEM) are active on Twitter, sharing information during crises.
The Canadian Government has set up its own private social network called Connect2Canada to keep a pulse on citizen needs around the world.
5) Real-time response
Democratic governments are here to serve and protect their people, at least in theory. It is the ultimate customer service organization, right? In the private sector, there are many case studies about companies using social media as an effective tool to solve problems in real-time. In fact, the biggest brands are establishing social media "war rooms" to monitor sentiment and help customers.
These practices are beginning to be adopted by state and city governments. With a tweet or text — potholes, broken street lights and other issues are being reported and fixed. The 311-Twitter service in San Franciso, for example, has answered over 7 million calls and thousands of more requests online.
Why wouldn't we expect national governments to do the same? Unfortunately there are very few examples of this happening so far, but certainly this trend will catch on.
So that's my take on the high-level trends of government and social media. What is happening in your country, region or city? Any social media success stories?
Are you ready for the Social Boom?
Apr 2nd
When it comes to practical sales and marketing advice, nobody does it better than Jeffery Gitomer. He's written more than 10 best-selling books and now I'm part of his latest one!
Last year, Jeff approached me about contributing to a book he was authoring about Social Media and business. What a great opportunity to work with a legend! The result was published this week: Social BOOM!: How to Master Business Social Media to Brand Yourself, Sell Yourself, Sell Your Product, Dominate Your Industry Market, Save Your Butt, … and Grind Your Competition into the Dirt
The book has DEBUTED as the number one Internet marketing book on Amazon! Talk about sales power.
My chapter is called The Three Things Businesses Totally Miss About Twitter, but if you're bored with me, you can also find amazing authors like Mitch Joel, Julien Smith and Andy Sernovitz among the pages. It is a very cool, high-energy, practical book about using social tools to gain competitive advantage.
I'm even on the cover. It's tiny, but the most important thing is that my picture is the same size, and at the same level as Mitch Joel. If you have followed this blog for awhile you know that Mitch and I have a friendly rivalry so while I'm honored to be part of the book, I'm quite pleased that Mitch didn't one-up me on the cover. In fact, am I imagining this, or is my picture slightly HIGHER than Mitch's?
Any way, let's leave it at this. For the first five people who confirm in the comment section that, in fact, my picture is higher than Mitch's (thus permanently establishing my social media superiority over him), I will send you a free copy of the book!
Note: I know that humor sometimes does not translate well across cultures so let me state plainly that my comments about Mitch Joel are meant to be playful. He is a wonderful professional and probably my favorite blogging intellect at the moment.

Dahlia Images taken on 1st of April
Hi all, have been away & only just back with a few garden images.
General image of dahlia garden near the end of our season; From Aprril 1st, 2011
Kenora Sunset, small at this time of year though interesting color?; From Aprril 1st, 2011
Not sure if I am the only one though Picasa only allows me to upload one image at a time? is there something I am missing? allan
Here is a link that might be useful: Image gallery of dahlias
Hi ladybugsmom192 & all, thank you for the comment.
Have been off the forum for a while, just thought I might have a quick look in.
Dahlias are easy in my estimation to grow & get a show of flowers, though would make sure when buying tubers to ask if they hold well in a vase, as nothing worse than getting a great show & then they all fall apart in 2 day.
Quality dahlias will hold their flowers for up to 2 weeks, ie from petal color showing in advanced buds to petals starting to die is at least 2 weeks.

Is this a weed?
OK - another one of these "Is this a weed". I have a couple of these growing in the garden. The seem to be evenly spaced, which makes me think it could be something I planted? But I don't recognize it. Any ideas?
I have this plant also, and almost yanked it as a weed, but as I had my hand on it, I stopped, just in case....
So now I'm watching it to see what it will do. My gut says weed, but since I have no confidence in my weed-identifying abilities, I'm waiting.
I really should get organized. I should take photos of theses things and ID them as I find out what they are, and keep a file for reference. I really should...
Jaynine - you were right. I just noticed a few flowers on the stalks this morning and it definitely is the yellow loosestrife. From my reading, it appears to be "invasive" in full sun conditions. But since it's growing in partial shade, in an area that I am trying to fill in, I will definitely let it stay. I *think* I dug it up at my moms house. Which would explain the even spacing.

Customer service. Friendliness of staff. Good breakfast buffet. Shower water pressure.
Very thin walls did not block noise from the hallway and the room next door well.
The new owners! Very welcoming and amusing! The main building is on the historical register (registry?) and you can see it can be gorgeous. It is going to take time to bring it back from years of less than stellar care. I love historic buildings!
The room could have used a hair dryer. I would carry one, had I known. Again .... NEW owners. I expect things will gradually change. I didn't know the restaurant is not open every evening. No problem this trip and now I know.
The ambiance was inviting, the rooms were so serenely decorated and spotless. It definitely has a Vermont spa feeling. The staff were so accommodating too. We arrived very late at night and they provided a wonderful breakfast late the next morning.
A hot breakfast would be a nice addition on the weekends but not necessary.
The hotel was impeccably decorated and one of the innkeepers we met was very personable. The bed was super comfortable and the heated floors in the bathrooms were very nice. The breakfast was an exquisite continental. We enjoyed the lake.
There was a lot of light peeking through the door cracks from the hallway and it kept me up, but I just put a shirt over my eyes and it was ok.
Location and room settings. The yard around the main house was very beautiful especially with the leaves turning in mid October which was our reason for being there.
Food choices at breakfast somewhat limited the morning we were there unless you like tofu. There was not an alternative for us non tofu folks. Other items were fine, so ate more of those. Internet: only in main room? Nothing for individual rooms...
It was very clean, and the rooms are large with great amenities.
It was expensive, but all the other hotels were expensive also. And most were full.
The restaurant was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was within a short walk of several very interesting small shops. The lounge was comfy.
The room was very small. No coffee or TV in room. The grounds were a disappointment. There were no breakfast meats with the included breakfast.
Staff were friendly and cordial.
The place was built for a ski resort but the resort closed so it is miles from area attractions. Bathroom was small. T.V. reception poor.
Showed up at 4:15. Still had to wait another hour before I could enter my room. Check ins started at 3pm. Staffing in restaurant needed more employess took 2 hours total to dine.
Owners were a little scattered, no TV, hairdryers, one usable rlectrical outlet others has extension cords
Limited amenities.
Beautiful home - loved the old victorian home! Beautiful little Vermont town with great food within walking distance. Hostess was amazing and the breakfast was a 10+++!!
The bathroom and shower were really small.
Charming, friendly staff, great breakfast, convenient location
The facility is lovely and proximity to Okemo is nice.
No food or breakfast option.
Location to ludlow was only good thing
Heater in room was incredibly loud and did not provide proper heating. Pool and hot tub were small and disgusting. Front desk staff were strange.
Everything! Do not stay here!
It was cheap, and they really delivered. Clean, basic - a place to sleep and move on. But for what it was it was great.
The food was good, and the rooms were nice, but my mom went to church and returned past the check-out time and they wouldn't let her use a restroom.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
