text: Our Verdict The most comfortable and mature sounding in-ears we've seen at this price For Physically and sonically easy on the ears rich, full-bodied delivery Against Some rivals offer a little more excitement Reviewed on 23rd January 2010 Hot on the heels of a very solid display from SoundMAGIC's PL30s last month come the upgraded PL50s, also supplied by hifiheadphones.co.uk. The big news is that the '50s boast balanced armature drivers, which are designed to improve efficiency and sound quality, and are usually seen on earphones costing much more than £55. What's most impressive about the PL50s is how unobtrusive they are, both in terms of fit and performance. Take some time to find the right buds for your ear (there are seven pairs in the box) and the fit is snug and comfortable enough to make it easy to forget they're there.Smooth, spacious and flowingThen there's the sound; all smooth, spacious and flowing, with nary a hint of anything harsh. Play Bombay Bicycle Club's Always Like This and (assuming you've got a good fit) the bassline bounces along in playful, infectious style, feeding up to full, clear vocals, and creating all-round envelopment. As we've mentioned, there's no harshness here, but it's also fair to say that the treble is a little behind the mid and bass in the mix. More after the break It isn't as sparkly as the best either, and there are rivals with greater overall attack. However, if you're the kind of person who frequently finds the average in-ear a bit uncomfortable, either sonically or physically, these may well be for you.

Easy to assemble and very sturdy. Holds more hanging file folders than a file cabinet drawer. The shelf on the bottom accomodates 3 storage boxes, under the hanging file folders, each measuring 6" high, 8" wide, 10" deep.
Exactly what we needed for our office. It is easy to assemble, sturdy, and easily rolls from one office to another.
I love my files on wheels! Very well built...well worth the money
This is a nice, stable file cart. It does not feel flimsy when handled. The shelf can be placed at several heights which adds to its versatility. The packaging was well-designed which helped during shipping.
Love this cart and would definitely buy it again. It was easy to put together, is sturdy and works perfectly for storing files I access regularly right at my fingertips....just under my desk.
Easy to assemble, good height, rolls around from room to room. It's a good size. I love it!!

Architect price sky high and then reconsiders after we do???
If an arch quotes 27k and after we say that's insanely high (based on other quotes) and then "reconsiders" because they really want to work on the project, doesn't that make him look bad?
Have you ever changed your mind? Did it make you look bad?
Do you want to work with her/him? Why do you post here?
FWIW, $27K is not "insanely high" for traditional architectural services, since you will pay much more than that on extra charges during construction.
Good luck on your project.
A custom build isn't for a starter home. There are plenty of affordable homes for sale everywhere for those just beginning their journey in life. For those that want to build a home that reflects their needs and wants, that's what a custom build offers---at a premium. Building custom costs more than building 1 of the 10 subdivision plans that a builder has done 20 times over that have Chinese menu pricing. You're not getting a WalMart house when you go custom. You're not getting Nordstroms. You're getting haute couture. You're getting something created for you by an expert who does nothing else and understands more about how to do it well than you could ever learn in 10 years of playing around with $500 software.
27K is less than 10% of the cost of a budget 300K custom build. Or less than 5% of a 600K build. It's not a high price at all for full architectural design services. And, as Virgil says, on the typical pay for an internet plan and make a zillion changes and then still have problems and change orders, it actually works out to be much less than the money you will spend on all of that. You'll end up with a better product as well. With specs that will actually be stuff that you want in your house instead of a million lowball allowances that you have to pay to upgrade.
No, it doesn't make him look bad.
An architect's fee proposal is simply the product of the time he thinks it will take him to design and document the building times an hourly rate. No one can be sure how many hours it will take to design a house and the hourly rate varies with the scope of the project and the staff needed unless the architect is a sole-practitioner.
Then there is the issue of how busy he is. When a small office over commits to work it means overtime often by the principals. Young architects can work 80 hours a week but old ones can't.
The fact that you would tell him his fee is high is an indication that you probably find his work superior to some of the lower bids which makes those architects look bad.
I have only been asked to bid against other architects a dozen or so times in 40 years. I never regretted losing a project and several owners later asked me to take over the project.

Him reconsidering is a sign that he finds your project interesting enough to want to participate. So, he's factoring in that into his pricing and is willing to take a slightly lower rate to be able to work with you. That's a compliment to your job.
As others have said, that's NOT sky high pricing for the services that you will receive. Having an accurate spec list for the products that you want to use, and having the details all thought out by someone who knows what they are doing would cost you more on a cheapo "mill" plan than paying for what you want from the beginning. Look at any post on here regarding "allowances" if you don't believe that one! People all the time get a $1500 lighting allowance, and end up spending 6K. Same with tile. They get a 5K allowance and end up actually spending 15K. Plus the change order fees.
Architectural services pay for themselves overnight when you consider the actual costs that most builds create for themselves by poor specifying and poor detail delineation.
Ok, I should add...for the exact same project, the quotes have been around 5-10k...resulting in shock when we got the 27k quote.
We will adding on to a 1800 sqft cabin...
We are not getting design service, we are doing that ourselves so we are just getting to construction plans. This is why we are thinking that price is far too high.
Does seem high for that level of service. Are all of these architects proposing the same services, and are they all licensed? I would have expected that to include schematic design & design development...or construction phase / post-design services. Do you have a lot of custom details, millwork, tile patterns, etc. that you're leaning on the architect to flesh-out as part of the construction documents? Whoever you go with, make sure complete specifications are part of the service. Although you won't have had the benefit of the architect's expertise in early design phases, strongly consider keeping him or her on during construction to help make sure you get what's in the contract.
In the words of Renovator8, "Why bring a sandwich to a banquet?"
The value of good design can be invisible to many people. That doesn't mean that it's not valuable. People notice homes in which there isn't room enough between the island and dining table for people to pass. They notice when all of the furniture in the great room has to "float" to have any passageways through it, and yet there isn't an electrical outlet anywhere in the middle to power a lamp. People notice when an addittion SCREAMS "addition" rather than looking like it actually was part of the home's original structure.
When you go to any true design professional (as opposed to a mere scrivener drafter.) you receive the benefit of how to create a well designed space rather than just the most expedient or trendy box. The knowledge base that creates a well designed space includes the knowledge of how the sun will travel across the space and how to take advantage of that, the psychological implications of spatial dimensions and how that will affect your family's interactions, the logical spatial flow from public spaces to private spaces, the implications of universal design and how it impacts you and your guests and resale appeal, and the legal code requirements for your health and safety in the space.
Bad design is obvious. Good design is invisible.
We too, were in sticker shock, when we started getting quotes from architects. Ours, however, were all in the same ball park, (out of it :)) We spent a lot of time talking with each of them, looking at their work, checking their references. In the end we went with the one who we clicked with and felt it would be a comfortable collaboration. The fact that he came back after the fact with an offer not to exceed the price we agreed on, was icing on the cake. We thought that was a positive sign. Now 6 months later, he has been worth every penny and more. He has made our project enjoyable!
Good luck with your decision
Your quoted price is not bad at all. For a 4000 sq ft home with a 2000 sq ft finished basement we were receiving quotes from two different architects for $37,500 and $55,000.
The $55,000 quote also included interior design and construction administration services.
The $37,500 quote was fairly stripped down in what we would receive before extra costs would be accrued.
IMO Virgil's comment does not discredit drafters but homeowners who would hire an architect to draft their design. But if you are concerned ask him.
I suspect the architect quoted a fee for full design services because, in my experience, little of such designs survive the first meeting.
My only objection to the OP's original post is the use of an exaggerated characterization like "sky-high". It's a poor way to start a problem solving discussion because it suggests the OP is more interested in complaining and sympathy than useful information.
This post was edited by Renovator8 on Mon, Jul 1, 13 at 11:34
Boy, this thread really took a turn for the worst.
In my opinion, receiving a quote 5 times more than all 6 previous quotes warrants the use of the term "sky high!
If I were to hire a world class, top-notch arch, this would be a different story. I'm not trying to build the Taj Mahal here.
The most expensive architect was also the most tardy, ill-prepared and disorganized. I don't know why most of the commenters assumed he was the best, solely based on price.
We have designed most of the additions ourselves, showed them to every architect and waited for the proposals. My husband, a graphic designer, is no architect, but can sketch a floorplan better than most typical consumers. Our design is important to us since we are the ones that know how we live. I know most are probably thinking "Then why would you hire an architect?" We are hoping that they will polish our design and come up with things we aren't thinking of, as well as manage the technical logistics of ideas.
Since I don't deal with multiple architects on a regular basis, I wanted to know if this was common behavior, I'm not looking for sympathy and a venus to complain.
The relevant question should not be why the architect's proposal was non-responsive but why the OP would not simply reject it and move on. Why tell him he was high if you didn't want him to lower it? Why criticize him for doing what you wanted him to lower his price? There's a strange agenda here and yes it is a bit irritating but not really important enough to take the anti-architect bait.
Yes, I agree that this was a rather odd post in the first place, as if the OP was simply looking for confirmation of their reaction to the architect's proposal. It really doesn't seem that the OP wants advice or the benefit of experience.
If the purpose of the post was simply to "flog" an architect, all one has to do is read the ridiculous "saying" posted on the home page of the Building a House forum, which the web site managers refuse to remove, despite repeated requests as being unnecessarily offensive and demeaning.
LIfe is short, and little is gained by "flogging" anyone.
Carry on!
FQ, anyone may question any thing any time. That's not the OP's point. The OP stated "doesn't that make him look bad"...!
Given that the fee quotation is not out of line for traditional architectural services, what's the point of asking such a question?
If the OP wants to walk away, why not just do so? And if the OP wants to work with the architect why not do so?
The original post makes little sense and experienced advice obviously is being ignored.
A. How many sq ft are you adding to the cabin, a few hundred sq ft or a few thousand?
B. Will the architect be involved in the bidding process and construction administration?
We went with an architect for design, bidding, and construction administration, and I can say that it has been worth every penny (getting through permitting, dealing with various construction "situations", etc.).
Generally, depending on the scope of your build and area you should probably plan for between 7-12% for architect's fees.
That seems really high to me. Our architect firm came highly recommended and charged $1 per sq foot plus some additional costs for 3d renderings. So for a 4000 sq ft house it cost about $5200 I think. And they have been amazing giving us exactly what we want, providing excellent ideas, and reasonable turnarounds. Couldn't be happier. Not sure if it matters what part of the country you're in, maybe that impacts the cost? We are located in Austin TX. Note: our cost doesn't include landscape design although they do offer those services.
To answer your initial question though, yes it seems odd that he changes the price without changing the scope. Although maybe he's just saying he's going to discount his bottom line hourly rate because he needs the work. I think that's understandable.
Good luck with your project!

The barbarians have arrived, and this time they come in the form of gigantic, wild haired Americans, set out to westernize the eastern world. My on-going quest to see anything and everything composed by Stephen Sondheim has landed me once again at Studio 54. Last time it was hell bent would be assassins, this time Japanese officials hell bent on preventing any westerner from setting foot on their land.
Pacific Overtures is the euphemism used by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853 when Japan was persuaded to open up trade relations with the United States. For 250 years, Japan had a policy of total isolation, they were the "floating kingdom," one never to be set foot upon by any westerner, and it is the country's either unwillingness or inability to prevent this invasion is the basis for Sondheim and John Weidman's musical. The 120 year change from total isolation to world power, including Hiroshima, American technology, and the war in Iraq is told from the perspective of the Japanese.
Weidman's book concerns the journeys taken by two Japanese men as they see their country transform. Manjiro is a Japanese sailor who was rescued by an American boat, who returns to his native country totally under the influence of western culture. Kayama is a samurai who rises through the ranks and believes in Japanese isolationism. Once the westerners arrive, Kayama is given the task of making the ships go away, since Japanese law forbids any foreigner from setting foot on their land. In order to help each other the two join forces, but of course they are unsuccessful in convincing Perry and the Americans to leave. The Japanese are tricked, Admiral Perry sets foot on the land, does a traditional Japanese lion dance complete with an American cakewalk, and Japan is opened to the west. This change is symbolized by the change in the two men over their lifetimes.
In telling this story from the Japanese perspective several aspects of Kabuki, traditional Japanese theater, are used.
B.D Wong as Reciter
There is usually one character who serves as the narrator and introduces characters, interrupts with explanations and wisdom, and steps into punctuate exclamation, doubt, and grief. This character in Pacific Overtures is the cleverly named, Reciter, B.D Wong's character. The characters are emotionally restrained, so Reciter steps in to exclaim their emotions. This is done beautifully when Kayama's wife commits suicide, Reciter, cries out his grief. Kabuki players were principally women, but when many of them began to attract unwanted attention from male admirers, they were officially banned from performing in the theater because authorities felt it would lead to their demoralization. It was then men began playing women roles, a tradition that stands today. Several female characters in Pacific Overtures are played by men, including a very lovely geisha girl. In traditional Kabuki, assistants, kurogo, are always on hand to remove props, and add makeup when necessary. The wear black, and are considered invisible though they are in full view of the audience. In Pacific Overtures, aging makeup is added to Kayama and Manjiro to show their advancing age and gray hair. Puppets are a very important aspect of Kabuki. The emperor in the musical is represented as a ever growing puppet as he ages, finally stepping in at the end as a full grown human. These aspects of Japanese theater are never copied or imitated, but just the spirit of them are used.
Sondheim's score is sophisticated and hypnotic. It begins with traditional Japanese music and progresses to a more Americanized and Broadway sound, especially in the finale "Next," complete with flashy Broadway choreography. Sondheim is not up to his usual standard of intricate lyrics. I had the feeling I wasn't missing much by not being able to hear every word, but Sondheim wouldn't leave us high and dry. "Chrysanthemum Tea" and "Please Hello" are very tricky. In "Chrysanthemum Tea" the Shogun's mother is trying to poison her son. The Americans have asked to greet a high ranking official before they leave, so she feels if there is no high ranking official to greet them, they will leave. In "Please Hello," the newly appointed Shogun, is inundated by American, British, Dutch, Russian, and French ambassadors who wish to have relations with the country. The shogun is left a befuddled mess not knowing what to do. The best songs of the piece are the lovely "Bowler Hat," which describes the change in the two men over the years, and "Four Black Dragons," which depicts the Japanese reaction to the four American ships docked on the shores of their land.
Michael K. Lee and Paolo Montalban
The entire cast is strong. There are equally adept at playing geishas, sailors, priests, and lords. B.D Wong is a very gentle Reciter as compared to other portrayals, and his part as the Shogun is very funny, but this show truly belongs to the two young men playing Kayama and Manjiro. Michael K. Lee and Paolo Montalban are the heart of the show. They are touching and hilarious. Michael K. Lee as Kayama particularly shines above the rest.
The biggest impact of Pacific Overtures, as is with most Sondheim musical, is in its meaning. The original Broadway production opened in 1976. That was quite a bold time to open a show that criticizes a country that is celebrating its 200th birthday the very same year. Opening now on Broadway is a bold time too. In a time of war, it is not a popular stance to take, but we take pride in a country that allows the rights of opinion and the right to criticize, so we think. We don't like to think about our shortcomings. Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot, that our beliefs and ways of life were considered wrong or barbaric, would you react the same way as the Japanese?
Pacific Overtures looks through the eyes of the Japanese, but it is really about America too. Maybe now is the time, and perhaps the most important time, we need to see the way we are viewed in the world, or come to understand that our "views" are not the only "views." The idea that we are seen as "four black dragons spitting fire," or the opinion that the American flag is a tool of suffocation are very powerful, eye opening, and frightening all at the same time. Maybe we should think about that and learn a lesson from it.

Another secret of the epic.
The Warren Report lays down certain essential characteristics of the clandestine genres. The first is hyperbolic length. Simply put, the literary output of the national security apparatus is not made for reading. This isn't a straightforward question of classification; the brute fact of a 15-volume report denies access, classified or no. This is true of the mammoth pile of Pentagon Papers and true too of the 6,000-page Senate report on CIA interrogations, of which only the 600-page executive summary has been made public. A telling anecdote: there are exactly 11 words on one page of the Pentagon Papers that were slated for redaction but which the black pen accidentally overlooked. Are they any less secret for it? Hardly. Length obscures, dissolving guesses, facts, and half-truths into a murky stew.

Where I'll have been;
What I'll have been up to.
So dull and grey and gloomy it's almost March outside, which is good? I need to start shooting new covers. Which is worth mentioning, perhaps, but not yet itemizing, as there's nothing as yet to show for it. But! In more substantial news:
Imprimis, the Patronage: I've started a Patreon! Go, take a look, pledge if you're so moved, share the word if you can. —Thanks to some remarkable generosity, I've already met the first goal, which means I've (finally) updated the software managing things under the hood hereabouts. There may be some hiccups and short-circuits in days to come, as I re-work an organization system designed for a handful of chapbooks into something at once beefy and nimble, that can handle chapbooks, volumes, and seasons, and still give five cents change after turning on a dime. —Take note: if we do manage to reach a level of two hundred and fifty dollars a month, I'm gonna have to figure out how to make audiobooks.
Item. the Personal Appearance: Next weekend (23rd – 25th January) is WizardWorld Portland, or the Portland Comic Convention, or whatever it is we're supposed to've ended up calling it? —The Spouse is a guest of the show, which means I'll be tagging along, and since prose serials have at least as much to do with comics as Karl Urban, I'll bring some chapbooks and paperbacks and badges along with me. No details as yet as to the specific location; if you're lost, look for roses being flung into the air by a six-year-old.
Item. Karl Urban: The somewhat snarky aside in the above is in no way intended as any affront to Mr. Urban, whose career has been a delight ever since his early days as Julius Cæsar and Cupid, and also I quite liked that Judge Dredd movie.
Item. Progress: Having stalled briefly in the middle of drafting no. 25, I did what I do when that happens: went back and started revising. No. 23 is now finalized, and no. 24 almost cut down to size, and I know better what happens next, in nos. 25 & 26. We're still on track to have four done, if not five, by the time the season premieres in June.
Item. Premiere: Oh, yes: in case I hadn't mentioned. Free online serialization of season two, Spring into Summer, begins Monday, June 22nd, with the premiere of no. 23, " – the thin ice – ". If, however, you find it difficult to contemplate so long a delay—
Item. Perquisites: —I am compelled to reiterate the Patreon, mentioned above: pledges at certain levels, you'll note, receive electronic or even paper copies of chapbooks as they're completed, months (or, sometimes, weeks, or, yes, days) before they're released online. —Never pose a problem for which you cannot then offer a solution, as they say.
And so! But yet. Covers. Hmm.

Things to keep in mind:
The secret of occultiana.
In books of Hidden Writing, the textual subtopia consists of plots, narrations and autonomous author-drones populating the ()hole complex of Hidden Writing. Such a subsurface life can not be reduced to ramified plot layers or buried messages (θησαυρός, thesauri) which would be the rewards of deep reading. So-called hermeneutic rigor follows the logic of textual stratification, and can be achieved by hermeneutical tools corresponding to the layering order of its text. But the subsurface life of Hidden Writing is not the object of layers and interpretation; it can only be exhumed by distorting the structure of the book or the surface plot. Exhumation includes a process of concrete crypting and decrypting, rewording, bastardization and a changing of the book. To interact with Hidden Writings, one must persistently continue and contribute to the writing process of the book. In Hidden Writings the act of reading and writing is conducted through those plot holes rejected by most interpreters as misleading obscurities. For hermeneutical explorations, plot holes are tricks, they are ill-timed and ill-space coördinates within the text—leak holes which must be plugged. But doesn't blocking the leak shift the pressure to another region, forcing out another hole? Theology is in general constantly obsessed with plugging holes, covering cracks and fissures in reasoning of and about the Divine. Thus, it forms lacunæ of imperfection by which the corpus of theology can always be mobilized against itself, turning against itself and biting back its body. To do rigorous theology is to perforate the Divine's corpus with heresies.

So! Yesterday I finally wrote the last three paragraphs of no. 24, hurrah. It is just over eighteen thousand words long, which means there will have to be some cutting, but I'm not thinking about that right now. I've got another fifteen thousand-plus to write by January 3rd if I want to get back on schedule, and I'm still not sure what's going to happen in the second act, much less the third, and I'm wondering if I should maybe do something to map out the middle ground to make sure I've got enough story but also enough room, like work up some fronts and countdown clocks, à la Apocalypse World?
While I'm over here—oh, let's not call it procrastinating—I could maybe do something nice for you, like, I dunno, reveal the titles of the next few fits—
—with, mind, the understanding that such things are even now subject to change. On a whim, even.
A note about the (most likely) title for no. 25, this one I should start typing on here any minute. —It comes from a Nabokov quote you'll find littered all over the web:
Literature and butterflies are the two sweetest passions known to man.
—which always seemed a little, well, on the nose? For him? —So I went a-googling, to find the source, and thus whatever mitigating context, but that's a little hard to do, what with the shorn quote itself being pasted up on every Tumblr and Pinterest and LiveJournal etc. etc. etc. Perseverance was called for, and eventually delivered. —A footnote ascribes the quote to an interview conducted in July, 1962, by Peter Duval-Smith and Christopher Burstall for the BBC, but the video isn't on YouTube (that I can find), nor the printed transcript that appeared in the Listener; the only trace of it is Nabokov's own transcript, which he reconstructed to weed out the inaccuracies he felt littered what had been printed by the BBC—and this famous quote? Appears nowhere in Nabokov's version. —There is a passage it might've adorned:
You're a professional lepidopterist?
Yes, I'm interested in the classification, variation, evolution, structure, distribution, habits, of lepidoptera: this sounds very grand, but actually I'm an expert in only a very small group of butterflies. I have contributed several works on butterflies to the various scientific journals—but I want to repeat that my interest in butterflies is exclusively scientific.
Is there any connection with your writing?
There is in a general way, because I think that in a work of art there is a kind of merging between the two things, between the precision of poetry and the excitement of pure science.
—but really, it would only have been so much sugar. "The precision of poetry and the excitement of pure science" is much better—but "two sweetest passions" fits more neatly in the space allotted.
And so.

That's one down, Kitty Carlisle.
So! I've finished the first pass at no. 23. I think it's going to be called " – the thin ice – " but I'm not sure so don't quote me on that. I'm not sure about a lot about it, actually. I mean I know it's 16,036 words long, which isn't the longest an installment's been, but there's still a couple of scenes to squeeze in but also some extraneous bits to trim or even cut away and also there's the rearranging that needs to be done but I've written the last word of the last scene and already opened up the notecards for no. 24, which I don't even know what it's going to be called, but here's where the scene between Becker and Pyrocles will go, and there the one with Jo and Luys, and all the bits to introduce Moody, if that really ends up being his name—
Ordinarily this isn't how it works. Ordinarily what would've happened is by this point maybe half of it would already have been posted and then things would've gone dark for a week or two or a month or two as I tried to make the rest of it end up where it now needs to go given where it's already been.
But this isn't so much ordinarily anymore, or rather a new ordinarily is being assembled somewhere in the back of my brain without my direct input or awareness mind not that I'm in any way nervous about that fact why would you even think such a thing and maybe I can fit a Guthrie bit in, too? In the scene at Pioneer Square? Maybe?
Sorry. —So! While (ordinarily) you would've been seeing bits of no. 23, which may or may not end up being called " – the thin ice – ", by now, well, now, in what seems to be the new ordinarily, you won't. You wouldn't. You haven't. —The second movement is where things take a turn, get contemplative, ruminative, when the shadows gather and deepen; usually scored at an adagio tempo, about 60 to 72 beats per minute. —I'm taking my time, is, I think, the takeaway here, uncertain, tentative, feeling my way through the negative space left by the clarion call of the first movement's fanfare (allegro, 120 to 168 beats per minute. Roughly).
But the good news is that on or about the end of November I should be finishing the first pass of no. 24, assuming I keep on track, and figuring out the first inklings of the structure of no. 25. The plan—always keeping in mind what becomes of plans—is to have five or six rough numbers stacked up, ready to polish and release on something approaching a reliable schedule, starting in June or so of next year.
So. Something to look forward to? —Anyway. —One down; ten to go.

Things to keep in mind:
The secret of the spectacle.
What, for example, of those who flogged refreshments to the crowds, who put up the seating or cleared up the mess at the end of the day? What of the spectators who found the sun too hot or the rain too wet, who could hardly see the wonderful extravaganza that others applauded, or who found themselves mixed up in the outbreaks of violence that could be prompted by the spectacle?

Things to keep in mind:
The secret of realism.
Suffice it to say that what distresses one about the Heinlein argument in general, when it is presented in narrative form, is that it so frequently takes the form of a gentlemanly assertion: "Just suppose the situation around X (war, race, what-have-you) were P, Q, and R; now under those conditions, wouldn't behavior Y be logical and justified?"—where behavior Y just happens to be an extreme version of the most conservative, if not fascistic, program. Our argument is never with the truth value of Heinlein's syllogism: Yes, if P, Q, and R were the case, then behavior Y would be pragmatically justifiable. Our argument is rather with the premises: Since P, Q, and R are not the situation of the present world, why continually pick fictional situations, bolstered by science-fictional distortions, to justify behavior that is patently inappropriate for the real world?

Link: New study shows support for electronic health records
A study by Morpace Market Research & Consulting showed that 48 percent of American adults support creation of a nationwide system
of electronic medical records that would allow patients, physicians, and other
health care providers to access personal health records through the
The study also reported that consumers see value in electronic health records although there are privacy concerns. Participants in the study believed that the government should establish guidelines and standards to protect personal health information. Interestingly, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) are currently using EHRs and have received positive reviews of their use for improving the health and delivery of care for veterans.
In January 2008, HHS Secretary Leavitt announced that a public-private partnership would develop the process by which these objectives could be met.
In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is currently working to develop a program for implementation and adoption of EHRs and HIT as
effective vehicles not only to improve the quality of care provided,
but also to transform the way medicine is practiced and delivered.
There are many groups, and providers, who have not yet adopted EHRs, but it is likely that they will soon, as time reveals progress in standards, privacy, and security of PHI, and as the value of EHRs become better known.

1. Surely you should be deleting the files before compressing them - why go to the effort of compressing them just to delete them?
Thanks phouch for sharing your knowledge. I looked at WinRAR.chm help and it really helped. Also I added -to7d and worked just fine.I have one more question. Is it possible to create the zip files with the same file creation date as the origininal files (non-zipped files)? I want to delete the zipped files that are older than 6 months from the archieve directory but after those files are zipped they show the current date and time. For example if i zip a file that was created 6 months ago i want the zipped file creation date date also be six months? Is it possible to do that?

I hope that the model set by USP will help set a better example for other universities in Latin America. To send students to school just to say there is a lot of students in higher ecducation sounds like something that needs to be addressed. At first the priority should be quality rather then quantity.
@ JamesAntiBr
Awhile ago you posted the following "comment":
"The U.S. has been the most benevolent global leader in world history. No other power has shared values such as democracy, trade and freedom.Not the Roman Empire. Not the Persian Empire. No even the British Empire. Not even Ancient China, Greece and Egypt.
If Brazil rises, it won't replace the U.S. or even match it in its benelovence. Most likely, Brazilians will export their dysfunctionality like this:"
More recently you posted:
"Alas, another feel good article about Brazil. Wow, moving up 30%
or so from bottom heap this week to number blah blah..."
I suggest you some real literature by a Harvard Professor, in an effort to improve your harangue, at:
"At many Latin American public universities students pay nothing, staff are unsackable, and the curriculum is old-fashioned and politicised. Good teaching and research are not rewarded with extra funding or promotions; institutions do not lose money if their students drop out."
But hey, these things above happen in almost all Brazilian state-run public universities — and MAINLY AT THE U.S.P.!
I work for a public university in Colombia (Antioquia University). Our goverments in Latin America are not really interested in investing in public education. Right now all public universities in Colombia are on strike because the goverment proposes to establish a new educational policy called NUEVA REFORMA A LA LEY 30 DE 1992. (New educational law for public universities) This measure privitises public universities and makes almost imposible for poor families to reach higher and better education. Chile now is in big trouble because of the same situation.
The most recommended comment, by Ivan João Junior, is a piece of advertising about a particular university. Regretful as such content must be, we must also realize that the 'alarming score' of recommendations - more than twiece as many as the second best recommended - can be built by the very same person, or acquaintances, who inserted it. That probably being the case, we are before an additional evidence that something is badly wrong about higher education at places.
I feel as if the way these institutions are being created in Latin America are questionable at least. Just because a school has a large number of students, walls, and teachers does not mean that it is up to the standards as the universities that are found in other regions of the world. Also, the amount of people dropping out is a very big problem. The countries of Latin America need to put money into the educational system and create universities where the degrees are legit. At this point the students in most of Latin American universities are better off saving their money and printing off a diploma from the web.
Latin America is no exception to the dramatic reforms that must take place with regards to education. America faces a narrowing of education access based on costs and acceptance while Latin America needs more institutions with greater expertise and deeper funding. Education reform however must be undertaken in a sustainable way that will ensure students' success and academic recognition by the world. While the United States may have some of the highest rated universities in the world, there is no reason Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Colombia cannot follow suit. When schools form communities not just campuses and cities make universities corner stone institutions not second thoughts, students truly benefit from higher education. If one examines the role of universities in the US one sees that entire cultures and regions are formed around the bonds fostered on campus and beyond. Students offer towns or cities innovative thought with an eagerness to help and an exhilaration to be part of something bigger which intelligent localities will harness for economic and cultural growth.
It's good to hear about how the Universities in Latin America are progressing. I think the main problem that they face right now is keeping student from dropping out of College or from moving away after college. What is going to keep the students in their respective countries if there are opportunities ten times better somewhere else. Find a way for them to give back to their country post-graduating and the progress in Latin America will continue.
USP may be the best university in the region, but its successes are symptomatic of the larger disparity in wealth across the country; public education is so inadequate that the country's elite who receive their educations privately are the only ones who qualify to obtain admission to the free public unis....perpetuating the radical stratification of the country.
-Jennifer Irizarry
Obviously, it would be greatly beneficial for the region if their higher education system can improve. From what I've read, it seems like most universities in Latin America do not have qualified professors or students who aim at receiving an education that allows them to innovate and improve the world. As Latin American countries see economic growth, I think the people will begin to demand a better system which will lead to an overall higher standard of living.
Latin America is said to have an increasing influence in the global arena, especially Brazil. However, if its universities are not producing quality research, solid scholars, and qualified professors than its influence and innovation will surely remain stagnant. Increasing the number of students admitted, the number of campuses, or bettering the faculty-student ratio all means nothing (and in some cases makes universities worse off) if the methods of teaching and requirements for obtaining a degree (for students and professors) are not reformed. Unlike many of the posts on this article, I do not believe there is a LACK of innovative scholars, rather - the higher-educational system in Latin America cripples students to develop their ideas .
If Latin America wants to grow economically and compete with the world, higher education must be made a top priority. Brazil, being the powerhouse that it is becoming, needs to lead the charge in this movement. Much more spending on universities must take place, and the governments need to make a big effort in attracting experts to teach at their universities. Coming from a Latin American country myself, I can attest that the professors are very old-schooled, and need to step up their teaching and research methods. A big tip for South America is to look at American universities as an example, and set a goal to become like those, especially the Ivys. China is using the same technique to grow their economy and businesses, and it is working very well.
I just found out something very interesting about these rankings, im not sure exactly how they work but..
If you open up the top ten universities in latin america and go to the world rankings for that universities on its specific page the following data can be seen about their international rankings in different fields of study:
univ.------World/latin rank------Arts----Nat Sci.-----Eng IT.----Soc Sci.---Life Sci.
U. Sao Paulo -----169/1 ------------ 86 --------86---------97--------67----------70
Pont. Univ. Chile---250/2------------87--------173--------142--------80---------152
Univ Chile--------262/4-----------141--------185-------- 174------- 112--------131
UNA. Mex.--------169/5-----------50---------77----------118--------51--------83
Univ. Bue. Aires----270/8-----------51--------89-----------115--------48--------59
Seriously, does this make any sense? how come the UBA and UNAM seem to have better rankings in the fields than all of the rest other tan the USP and still they get ranked lower in the world and even in latin america? Also its seems they all do well in specific fields but bad overall?? Gets you thinking...
Also, to all those who walked about how bad education was in latin america, look at those international rankings in specific fields, they all seem to be within the top 200 (even top 100), except for UNICAMP. Its seems to me something weird happened to the world rankings which everyone looks at without going deeper into the info.
I believe that more schools in Latin America are capable of producing well educated students with a degree. All universities have one thing in mind which is transforming students into the work force for whatever job they want to do and i believe all Latin universities can do that. Maybe they need to change their evaluation. With more educated people in the Latin American society the more stable the countries will be.
Its hard to justify the bolstering of Latin American universities when the majority of the better universities are in Brazil and Dilma just initiated a program that aims to award 75,000 scholarships to attend the world's top universities.
I do not doubt the students' ability and drive to learn and to be successful. Latin America was thought for a long time to be a dying breed in the professional world. Few of the many elite minds came into prominence in the academic community. However, the times are changing. With Latin American economies taking large strides to their spots in the spotlight, their universities will follow. As their universities grow and become prestigious, their economies will get stronger. The relationship goes both ways. There is no doubt in my mind that schools throughout Latin America will continue to become some of the most competitive and highlighted schools in the world.
The idea that USP is considered the #1 university in all of Latin America is of great importance because it shows how Brazil is moving up in international importance in the today's world. They are becoming world powers quickly and efficiently. They might still have a long way to go but the will time will come when they become a world leader. It all starts with a good higher education so that the following generations can continue to advance in the world stage.
I think its great that USP ranks in the top 200 universities in the world, what a great accomplishment that is. Unfortunately, that's the only one from the region. Education is extremely important because the students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. These public schools that are lacking in quality teaching need to find a way to improve the education to keep the students interested and motivated to get a degree and not drop out.
It is great to see reforms being implemented in South America. For years there education system in South America has been way less than satisfactory and it still has a long way to go. Brazil is a great example for the other countries to follow and begin to improve their programs. Brazil is becoming a more powerful entity within the world and I wouldn't be surprised if its economy because one of the top 10 economies within the next 100 years.
These countries with large amounts of drop out college students are going to have a very difficult time in the future. If colleges aren't willing to buck up and provide a quality education that can be affordable to those who are most eager and able to learn, then there will be problems. Also, there is something to be said about these drop outs also taking part of the blame. Because the drop out numbers are high, the universities are at fault, but the drop out rates could possibly mean the education is not worth the time and money, and these students may possibly be able to find decent jobs without the educations these faulty universities have to offer.

I wanted several features in a new printer. Large format printing (11" x 17") with minimum borders was a must as I do engineering drawings. Also two sided printing, ability to print on label stock and card stock, copying, and faxing. The yearly ink costs for my old printer was really excessive so lower ink cost was also a must. This printer seems to meet them all and then some. With two paper trays that each hold an inch high stack of paper, up to the 11 x 17 size, paper loading should be much less frequent. And the rear, manual feed slot is excellent for thicker stock, like card stock or labels because it has a straight paper path through the machine so die cut labels should not be stripped off. I have seen some reviews that criticized the rear position of this manual feed slot, but the rear position actually is the best place for it due to the ability to feed die cut label stock or other heavy stock because it avoids the necessity of making a "U" turn inside the machine as would be necessary with a front, manual feed slot. As I said above, a "U" turn like this tends to strip labels off their backing sheet. I have fought this problem in other printers and it is no fun taking the printer apart to remove all those stripped labels from the various parts of the paper path. Brother should point this out as the great feature it is in their sales literature. The 11 x 17 scanner is a real bonus feature and will allow me to scan and copy drawings and other technical documents in that larger size. I am already scanning record album covers for inclusion in my digital music collection. This is a great feature. Installation was a bit lengthy and I did make an initial mistake, but Brother tech assistance was quite helpful and I now have it installed on four computers; 3 Windows 7 and an older, Windows XP system. That initial mistake was easily rectified by just running through the installation disk a second time and had I just known that, I would not have had to call Brother. I actually did so in an abundance of caution. I print a fair amount of color photos and I was concerned about the quality of photo prints. I tried some photos on plain paper and the results were disappointing. But then, they were similar to what my old printer produced on plain paper, perhaps just a bit lower in contrast. The Brother printer driver software does allow some very sophisticated adjustments to the photo quality and I did play with it a bit. But I then tried to use some photo type paper and the results were just excellent on the first try. The paper I used was not the Brother brand so I can only assume that the results will be as good or better with their, recommended paper. I have seen reviews of this printer that critiqued the noise level. I noticed in the set-ups that there is a quiet mode that you can select, but I did not as I wanted to see just how noisy it was. While it may not be the quietest printer that I have ever used, it is FAR from the noisiest. I would place it in the average category in this respect. I have mine installed at the left side of my desk, on a separate printer stand so it is about an arm's length away. I can reach the touch screen with my left hand without shifting my position. I find that the sound level is entirely satisfactory, in spite of this close proximity. I have to wonder if those critical reviews were perhaps written by employees of other printer companies. The black and white prints on standard paper are a little low in contrast. Not to the point of being unacceptable and I probably would not have noticed it if I did not have my older printer to compare them to. One suggestion for improvement would be to make the black ink a bit darker. Unless that would mess up the excellent photo printing capability. Another small disappointment is the speed of producing prints. After reading the specifications, I really expected faster operation. For plain, black text, in Normal mode, the first page takes about 20 seconds to start printing, but subsequent pages are somewhat faster, perhaps 15 seconds each. I am sure that the manufacturer developed standards for rating the speed of producing prints are written in their favor, but it would be better to do this spec. in a more realistic manner. Overall this is an excellent printer and a great value for the price. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in a printer of it's general capability.

Do not buy this printer without a support contract. I bought my 9xxx printer from staples thinking that this would be the answer to wmy high volume laser printing requirements for my small business. I began having trouble immediately with the paper feed. I was also appalled that I could only insert about 100 sheets of paper at a time into this 200 pound monster machine. I could put more in my HP Officejet! After about 3 months the trouble began! The feed mechanism would not feed paper.

If you want to print big this is the printer that will do it. I do electronics and radio repair work as a hobby and am on the far side of seventy. So I use this printer to print schematics at ledger size. Sure beats using a magnifying glass to read them at letter size.

Comments about Brother MFC-J6720dw Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer:
The first printer lasted about 6 months until I powered it off one night. Wouldn't turn on again. Brother exchanged it for a refurbished machine. The 2nd machine worked for about two weeks when I had to turn it off and unplug it so I could move it. When I plugged it back in the display will come on and say "Shutting Down, all functions will be disabled". Will not power on now. Same as the first unit. I guess I'll have to buy an HP now.

emotional abuse by daughter
I am extremely distraught. My daughter, age 28, is living with a man who has slowly, but surely, been pulling both her and our 7-year-old grandson, away from the rest of the family. He seems to be jealous of the close grandparents relationship that I, my husband, and my ex-husband have enjoyed since the child's birth. The natural father(they were never married) is distant, and we grandparents have always been there. We were initally happy that she seemed to be in a healthy relationship, although with a man 13 years older than herself, who has never had children. However, problems soon surfaced. My daughter has never been emotionally stable, and has been through several unhealthy, emotionally abusive relationships. She loves her son very much, but has a tendency to put her lovers before her son, and gets verbally abusive toward her father, myself, and her sister when we confront her. When she is angry with one of us, she "blackmails" us by not allowing her son scheduled visits, will not discuss what the problem is, etc. We hesitate to confront her more and more, for fear of traumatizing the child, but her emotional abuse is becoming rampant. The latest incident involved me(grandma) confronting her and the live-in boyfriend over bite marks and bruises found on my grandson's arms. They claimed that these were from "playing" and roughhousing. The child seems terrified of "getting into trouble" with his mom and boyfriend. I did not make any accusations, simply informed the boyfriend that he was being too rough, that biting hurts, and that if a teacher or physician had observed the marks, he could be charged with child abuse. The following weekend, my daughter refused to let the child visit, stating that I was "filling his head" with garbage. Although the boyfriend seems to genuinely care for the child, he is domineering, and there have been other incidents of unexplained "accidents" and bruises that are always attributed to "playing around." I do not feel that my daughter is thinking of the child's best interests. I am considering hiring an attorney, but hesitate to take such a drastic step. I have always been her defender to other family members, even when she has been wrong, in order to keep the "family peace." I now find myself at a loss, and disbelieving that she would put a non-family member before her son and the rest of the family. Can anyone help or comment? Also, this man does not work; he collects disability for a knee injury, yet is able to climb the steep flight of stairs in their home, plus ride his bike for long distances. He also transports the child without a driver's license or insurance.
Lynn, it is time to put aside your feelings for your daughter and think of your grandchild. Your daughter is an adult now, but who will be there to protect the child? I agree to the other posters - please act fast before something unspeakable happens to that poor little boy.
I believe the other posts are correct. However, be careful.
My sister called last year because her grandson said his
mother (her daughter) "throws me around and pushed my head into the wall". CPS went thru the motions, went to the child's school and questioned him, told her daughter that it
was her mother who had called, interviewed other people and
then closed the file. Now my sister has no visitation, her
daughter will not speak to her and my sister's heart is broken. She doesn't know now how her grandson is and feels guilty that "she got him in more trouble by calling help"
She has filed a complaint with the service to no avail.
Thank you all for your messages; you will never know how much they have helped me emotionally. Currently, my daughter and I have not communicated. My ex-husband, the child's grandfather, is in touch with my daughter; he says the child is fine right now, but misses me. My daughter is stating that "I caused trouble" by telling the child that no adult, even kidding around, should bite him, and "making us look bad." I hesitate to call CPS for the reasons cited by Kara. The difficult part is that I don't think any of the injuries were done deliberately, just that this man has no common sense, does not know how to treat a child, and exhibits an extremely controlling manner over my daughter and the child. I also believe he has something to hide in his past, and this may be one of the reasons that he is slowly, but surely, attempting to pull my daughter and grandson away from the rest of the family. I am taking other steps now, and will keep you posted. Thank you again.
Lynn, I'm horrified---it takes some force to actually leave bite marks---that is not playing around! Somebody has to help the poor little kid...I hope it's you, and I'm just sick that you have to risk the confrontation with your daughter. Whew, sending a good thought...wishing you luck.
You must act for the ultimae safty of tat poor child. Your dauhter's hostility, I' sure is manifested by her guilt. ultimately this crearure she is living with has got to go. In the end she may even be releaved of the pressure she is under a the preant time,
I agree with calling children's services IMMEDIATELY! And when you see this again, take the child to the nearest emergency room, where there then will be a documented visit and insist that pictures be taken. Do all that you can do to protect your grandchild - the mother doesn't seem to be doing it.
Thank you all for your and support. I did file an "incident" report,but asked that no other action be taken at this time (see Kara's message). I am upset that I did not have the presence of mind to take pictures. However, my husband and the child's other grandpa also saw the marks. This past weekend, I was "allowed" to pick up my grandson after school, and keep him overnight, although my daughter, boyfriend, and I are not speaking. My ex-husband, (her father)and I are on excellent terms, and he arranged for the visit. He has made it quite clear to our daughter that he supports me, and that it is wrong for her to withhold the child. Our visit went well, and it was wonderful to see him as it had been about a month. Thanks again.
This is a serious situation. It's happening more and more these days. If you notice any kind of bruises or injuries, call law enforcement and have them bring in Protective Services. Mental abuse to children is rampant these days and the hardest to prove. Good Luck.....
Oh Lynn,
I just read your post and it seems like you were me writing the post.I too had an encounter with my daugter's new husband.On account of him hitting my grandchildren,he is the stepfather.And I too lost the close relation that I had with my daughter because I told him that he had no right to abuse the children.She took his side and told me that my granddaughter that is 12yrs.,old is just making things bigger then what it is.And I pointed out to my daughter that if she doesn't beleive her daughter now,what is going to happen if God forbid one day her daughter tells her that he abused her in any other way.That she is not going to come to her for help.And then is when he wanted to litterly kick me out of the house,that my husband and I had helped her buy when she was married to her first husband.
Let me tell you that it has now been six years and my daughter has not set foot in our home and we have seen our grandchildren only on occacion when her ex-husband allows us to see them.
I have tried many times to talk to her and to see the children but she tells me that they come as a package and that if I don't accept her new family I don't accept her and her children.I can't accept anybody that abuses the children and make beleive like if nothing is happening.
Dear Lynn, I also think that the child should be remove as soon as possible. Why would any adult man want to bite a child, even if it's playing??? But before going through that, maybe you should hire a private investigator to get more details, check the man's background and also to keep an eye on your grandson. If the man is the violent type, your daughter is not able to do anything even if she really wanted to. I'm probably wrong but it's also a small possibility that your daughter (and man) are using drugs (her emotional abuse is becoming rampant, verbally abusive)? Hope this helps a bit and hope this situation will turn out ok.
Hi!! I really think you need to help your grandson in seeking custody, at least until your daughter seems to be more stable. I know you love your daughter, and she will be angry, but I feel if you raised her with family morals she will Thank You one day for taking a stand for her son. I will keep your family in my prayers. Best of luck and if you are still unsure, pray and ask God for his guidance.
Lynn, how much do you know about this man she married? You said you thought he may be hiding something from the past. Wouldn't it be terrible if you found out he has a criminal record? Has he been a local resident for years or from another state? It would be good to find some "dirt" on him that would help you get your grandson out of their home. I know there are agencies that can run criminal records. You might want to check into this. I don't think it would be very expensive. Can you somehow get his SS number as you probably need it to get a report run. Please get those pictures taken. Have you asked him if they have ever thrown him or hurt him? Get a tape recorder and record what he tells you. This is a terrible situation this child is in. And in defense of your daughter, she is probably scared to death of him, and that's why she is on the defensive side. Maybe she too is being abused and doesn't know how to get out.
Take action but try to get some evidence. There are too many instances happening today where people say "if only I had".
Please, please, get this poor child some help. It seems that there is abuse going on, and this child needs someone to protect him, and that seems to be you. I have to also commend you for being such a caring and loving grandmother. As for your daughter, she needs a reality check for sure, she has a good mother and she should be thankful for you caring! I hope this doesnt sound harsh, but you should speak with an attorney and if your health allows it, you should try and get custody. I know that in some states grandparents have rights. Sincerely, Dana :)
Get help, immediately! We are currently in the process of gaining custody of our 10 month old grandson,who lives with us full time, as does his 22 year old Daddy. Mom has severe problems, and has not been heard from for 5 months. Someone else called Children's services when child was 2 months and we and our son have had excellent support from them, from the police, from the legal profession and from our community. It is a privilege to save a child. In Canada, or in Ontario anyway, grandparents do have rights. We are young, retired, relatively healthy, and have almost enough money to manage this. Do it. The child comes first.
From what I have read, it seems to me that this is an abusive , controlling man. Men like him will try to keep his spouse or significant other away from family & friends to continue in the abuse. This seems to be a dangerous man, I suggest you hire a P.I. to gather whatever info you can about this man. Your grandchiid needs your help. I have prayed for the Lord to help you & your grandchild. I think that the advice you have been receiving on this forum is "on time"

On May 14, Lakewood City Councilmember John Simpson gave the "State of the City" presentation at the Pierce College Board of Trustees meeting at the college's Puyallup campus.
The Trustees definitely knew of Simpson – who is a tenured history professor at Pierce College's Fort Steilacoom campus. He has served as faculty president and has won the "Outstanding Faculty Award" 10 times. Moreover, for the past 7 years he has served on the College Cabinet.
At the presentation, Simpson emphasized the parallel paths of the City and College, including its ties to Joint Base Lewis-McChord and military, its diverse populations and its goals of helping and empowering the people they serve.
And, in classic professorial fashion, Simpson stressed a particular message: "Quality education, quality City."
If you or your organization would like a presentation of the "State of the City," please contact Lakewood City Hall at (253) 589-2489.

From the moment you open the hand carved front door, you will know the Grey Fox is special. With 2 bedrooms and a loft, there is room for 6. The Master bedroom has a queen bed with French doors that open to a full length front porch that is perfect for your morning coffee. The 2nd bedroom has bunk beds that are perfect for children or adults. The loft, which overlooks the main living area, has a full size bed and is accessed by a custom built ladder. The bathroom has a walk in tile shower and a marble topped vanity. After a day of sightseeing you can enjoy a home cooked meal in the well equipped kitchen or throw a steak on the grill outside on the rock patio. On a cool evening you might enjoy a fire in the wood stove. The entire cabin is decorated with artwork from local artists. There are 2 TV's with Dish Network just in case the kids want to watch something different. WI-FI is also provided. Surrounded by trees, the Grey Fox is the perfect place to shake off the cares of the world and enjoy time with family and friends.
My husband Steve and I built this cabin in the Fall of 2012. We are both from the Asheville area and love the mountains. As travelers ourselves, we built this cabin with you in mind. Taking care to make it a place you and your family will want to come back to again and again. Every season here has something to offer. From the beauty of Spring to the quietness of a Winter snow, there is something here for everyone.
We built this cabin as a vacation rental because this area of Buncombe County is so beautiful and we wanted to share it with others. We live just 10 minutes away and have lived in our home for 21 years. This area is special because its close to downtown, yet far enough away to enjoy nature.
Perfectly wonderful little cabin hidden in the trees - we found it to be very clean and have everything thing you might need, especially coffee and sugar - what a great touch! Wonderful smelling linens and comfortable digs made this cabin just right. Sheila is so gracious and friendly. Will recommend! Thank you!
This place was the perfect place for our vacation. It is warm, comfortable and immaculate. Situated just 10 minutes from downtown, it made enjoying the areas amenities easy with the added bonus of spending the night in the country, able to see stars and hear the birds in the morning. It was a great surprise to find that they even provided complimentary coffee for those of us who need the extra morning kick-start. The owner was very responsive to all our requests and I highly recommend doing yourself a favor and staying here.
We really enjoyed our stay at Grey Fox. Very clean, warm and comfortable. Would definitely stay again if we return to Asheville.
This was the perfect vacation for my family! The location was great. It is far enough into the mountains to have the secluded feeling and at the same time only a few minutes to a local grocery store. Asheville is only a 15 minute drive.
My two young kids (two dogs too) loved exploring in the wooded area in front of the cabin. We went during December and even were able to go to a tree farm locally to cut down a fresh tree to take with us.
The cabin was very clean and had everything you could think of available. The owners were very easy to work with and VERY accommodating with our travel plans.
No complaints on our end. We will definitely stay here again if we ever are up this way.
Thank you for everything,
The McGuire's
Thanks so much Steve and Sheila for letting us stay in your beautiful log cabin during our families' transition to Asheville! We stayed for 2.5 months and our children and small dog loved it! It's a very cozy cabin in a quiet and stress free environment! The cabin is only 15-20 minutes away from downtown Asheville, so you are close enough to do some shopping, hiking, and sightseeing, and still able to get away to a quiet cabin, nestled back in the woods! The cabin has everything you need! It is the perfect getaway in Asheville. Our family highly recommend the Grey Fox Cabin on your next trip to Asheville!!
Our story is unique-we sold our home of 10 years in less than 72 hours! We have 2 Great Danes, 1 tall with only 3 legs and 1 small--along with the 18 year old cat. We thought we had plenty of time to find a place to rent, what we didn't know, is that almost everyone in the Asheville and surrounding areas is, shall we say, gun-shy, about renting to pet owners. Despite the fact that our dogs are better behaved than most humans, during our last hours in our home, we were resorting to even offering money, to find a place to live. Then I found Steve & Sheila on VRBO.com. It was close to our home, considering little time left to move, & similar to the surroundings our animals were used to-hence not to shock the ole' cat & end her days early!
I couldn't have wished for a more selfless act of kindness, as what we received from this couple. We stayed practically the whole month of May; having to buy another home versus renting because we're pet owners. No wonder there are so many animals without homes, we-ourselves, were almost homeless because of the behaviors of others & lack of responsibility.
We can't thank Steve & Sheila enough for the "Pay it Forward". I have always believed in that philosophy & practice it often without return. This was my return Sheila--so back at ya' my friend :)
Beautiful cabin with all the amenities & more-our lives are still spread amongst 3 storage buildings, but we very smoothly made the transition thanks to the kindness of this couple.
Enjoy the cabin just as we did & remember the warm heart & hard work that went into creating it when you sleep there peacefully; just as we did.
Thanks from all of us; Jami, Dave, Zeta, Jack and Max.
