Grace Takes a Time Out Ch. 10by1nolasco©
Grace Takes a Time Out chapter 10
2nd Thursday
Before ringing the doorbell Peter takes a deep breath: he has no idea if he will walk into a crisis or a calm. After the previous day's events and emotional upheavals he is nervous, tentative, and anxious. Judy came within minutes after he called and took over, shooing him out with assurances that she would deal with the crisis, but it's a new day and he has no idea of the current state. He goes ahead and rings the doorbell as usual, opens the door, and walks in while calling out, also as usual, "Hi! It's me, Peter."
"We're in the kitchen," comes the response from Judy so he goes that way. When he walks in Judy and Grace are sitting at the table with breakfast plates and glasses spread across it and coffee mugs at hand. They are both wearing light bathrobes, clearly Grace's as Judy's is a couple of sizes too large and drapes her like curtains. They both give him welcoming smiles; both look tired and mussed. "Can we offer you coffee?"
"No thanks, I'm OK. I'll make some ice tea. S'posed to be another hot one today." He replies politely but noncommittally and goes to the stove to get the kettle to boil the water.
Grace stands and walks to him, puts her arms around him and hugs: "Thank you for taking care of me yesterday, Peter." He sets the kettle down again on the stove and embraces her. "I'm not as together as I thought and you were there to catch me when I fell. I appreciate that and I know it took a real man to do it."
Peter hugs her back: "I really can only guess what you were going through: I want to be here for you, whatever happens." He is disarmingly, naively, sincere.
She releases a bit and looks into his eyes: "And I apologize for my temper tantrum. We need to be adults and deal with our issues without screaming at each other." She smiles sheepishly.
"Yeah, I wasn't particularly calm and collected either." He lets her go slowly, then turns to the stove again to get the water going. "This grown-up stuff is tough!" he says somewhat reflectively and not to either one of the women directly. "I thought adults had it easy and just messed up because they were lazy, but now I think there's no easy way." He finishes with an ironic "Damn!" then comes to sit down at the table opposite Grace who has resumed her chair, with Judy on one side between them.
Judy speaks up: "You two are so cute: you sound like you're on a Dr. Phil episode making up. If I hadn't been up all night with Grace weeping all over me I might barf." She looks back and forth at the two of them; they are both taken aback. She sighs. "Grace: you've still got a long row to hoe and at least now I think you know it." Grace nods, almost submissively. Judy turns to Peter: "You've got a lot to learn, not because you're dumb or set in your ways, but because, to be perfectly honest, you are pretty green. And I don't mean that as a bad thing. Grace is a treasure and she can teach you a lot about life." Judy pauses after this outburst of wisdom, and looks again back and forth between them, smiling. "And now Dr. Judy has to go to work so don't run any hot water while I'm in the shower." With that directive she rises from the table and heads towards Grace's room.
Grace and Peter look after Judy for a moment and then turn to each other. Grace inhales and looks to Peter: "It's always good when someone you love reads you the riot act: they're usually right. We have some work to do." This last said very directly to Peter; he nods in agreement but waits for her to continue. "I am really tired still. Did you get some sleep?"
"I did. I'm good."
"If it's OK with you, I'm going to get a couple of hours of sleep. If I'm not up by 11:30 or noon come a wake me up. Can you do that?"
"Sure. I have lots to do. I'll plan a break for around noon; I should be able to wrap up the guest room and bath today. You rest and we'll have lunch together." She smiles, thanks him, and gets up from the table; before leaving the kitchen she walks around the table and gives him a light kiss on the forehead. The kettle boils and he starts the ice tea before he goes off to pick up on the work where he left off the day before.
After 15 minutes or so Judy looks in the door, now dressed and ready to go. "Thanks for calling me yesterday, Peter. You did the right thing and I truly do thank you." Her look is completely sincere and wanting him to know she means it. "You have a good day, and I hope to see you again soon." She smiles and gives him an air kiss.
"You too, Judy. I have your number." He smiles back and she leaves.
Around 11:00 Grace comes into the room where Peter is working. He's sealing up a paint can and has his brushes and roller in a bucket ready to clean. She's wearing a long, thin, stained, beaten-up old white t-shirt that comes down just below her hips, and flip flops on her feet. She looks awake and alert. After a few words between them she goes to work removing the masking tape and he goes to wash the tools out. A while later he returns and starts to fold the drop cloths as she continues with the tape. "The paint and stuff for my room is in my car: can you bring it in? I'm not really dressed for the neighbors to see me out on the sidewalk." She grins and lifts the hem of the shirt to show him her dark red low rise panties; he rolls his eyes in mock surprise and leaves the room again to get the paint. Another hour and the guest room is done except for moving all the furniture back – the walls need a few more hours to dry – and they agree to break for lunch.
They are sitting at the table on the back patio with their sandwiches, ice teas, and some chips. Peter is in his normal work uniform of running shorts, messy t-shirt, and paint-stained tennis shoes; Grace has added jeans to the old t-shirt she was wearing earlier. The conversation is lagging, skirting around the issues and events they are both concerned about, until Grace asks: "Think I'm crazy?" and she asks it quite seriously.
He looks back at her, equally seriously, and pauses before he answers: "No. But I think you've been pushing yourself pretty hard. Crazy hard? I've seen that in sports when I was in high school: people who would focus on nothing but improving their performance and they could get pretty intense and if anything went wrong be really down about it or blame themselves, or if the parents were pushing too, blame the parents. That make any sense?"
"Some, yeah. I think I've been pushing back against the implosion in my life since Joe died, as if I could keep it from overcoming me or the kids. As if we were trapped in a bag that was getting smaller and smaller. Judy seems to think I should ignore the implosion, or at least not respond to it directly. The bag: she'd just pick up the biggest knife in the kitchen and slash her way out, drag the kids out, and tell the bag to go fuck itself." They both smiled at that.
She continues: "I spend a lot of time pushing back, not so much slashing. When she put it that way, it made some sense. But it's all so tiring. I've felt trapped and lonely: what I really want is to feel vibrant and alive again. Can you understand that?"
"I think so, in some ways." replies Peter, slowly. "I haven't had such bad things happen to me, but I can understand about everyday drudgery and feeling like there's no way out. Sometimes in high school I felt that way, but when I compare it to your last year, mine was pretty trivial. And I've seen that when you feel good you really light up. I like that."
"My relationship with Judy started more as a way to cope than change my surroundings: get my mind off the every day and have some bright spots in the day or the week. But this painting is the first real thing I've done to make actual changes and in some ways I've been fearful of the process. Then there's my list with 'getting rid of Joe's clothes' on it – that's scary too."
"What about me?" is Peter's almost spontaneous question.
She smiles at him; her eyes sparkle a bit and she licks her lips. "You are definitely the most challenging, most unplanned, and brightest spot for me right now. More like a lightning bolt than just a bright spot." He looks surprised, but unsure of her meaning. "Really, Peter. I had absolutely no designs on you when you arrived last Monday, and I'd been looking at you, known you, for years; in the last 8 months you've been here 2 or 3 times a week. Then 'Wham!' and I'm all over you. It was like I was so stressed that day and after the kids and parents left I got about 5 minutes then you show up looking gorgeous and friendly and available. I just thought in some non-verbal way – 'I'd like to have some of that'." She chuckles with the recollection.
"And so you did." returns Peter. "Can't say as I resisted much, either." A smile. "But how does that – me – fit into getting Joe out of your life or whatever you were saying before? I don't want to be a problem for you. You were pretty wiped out yesterday it seemed to me and I don't want that to happen again or go on."
"It's more about me being in charge of my life than pushing Joe out: the painting, closet clearing, those sorts of things. I was stressing about repainting the – my – bedroom even though I never particularly liked the color, but Joe did. You were – are – a more radical departure: you are my wild, no-impulse-control side taking charge. And I really like it! You make me feel vibrant and alive!"
"But we can't go on forever. You said at the beginning and I think so too that this can't go on indefinitely. I like you, I don't know, more than anyone, but we can never be equal."
"Actually we are equal, but we're different, too. I think that as human beings, moral and responsible, we are equal. I have more life experience, that's all. These are different things. But you are right, we can't go on forever, but we can go on for another week and a half." The glint in the eyes again, the mile. "I want to."
He looks away and takes a breath. "It's gonna be like withdrawal at the end, isn't it? You'll have the kids to take up your time, and Judy; I guess I'll have to get a life, my own life."
"Yeah, withdrawal. I hope the journey makes the unpleasantness of arrival worth it. You want to talk, anytime about anything, call me." A pause as she thinks about what's next. "Look, about yesterday: it was a perfect storm of all those other conflicts combined with my downer date with Stan," Peter looks up sharply in surprise "and you snapping at me." He's about to come back and defend himself but she cuts him off before he can: "I'm not saying it was your fault or you were wrong, but that I was in a pretty uncertain place and you gave me a push, and all my conflicts and self-doubts exploded inside me."
"Remember I told you I remembered Stan as sort of shallow?" she asks, leaning forward as if seeking validation of some sort. He nods agreement, his eyes fixed on her. "Well if he was shallow before, he has now completely dried up and there's nothing left but a flat, dry, dusty lake bed. I kept trying to find something familiar and likeable, I kept thinking 'is this the right guy?', and I didn't let go or walk away when I should have. It was death by a thousand pin pricks and I should have gotten away. So when you walked in I was feeling like crap and all the Joe stuff whirling around in my mind like some guilt inducing tornado. First I fought back, then I collapsed."
"How are you now?" He is genuinely concerned, and curious: nobody has ever had a conversation with him remotely like this one.
"I feel good. I know I have things to work out, but I have a clearer plan. Judy convinced me to go back to the support group. And I know I have the two of you on my side." She pauses as she tears up a bit, then gives him a hesitant smile. "I need to think about me and the kids first; Joe's gone, I'd like to think he'd want me to press on and that's what I want, too. The details sure do suck, but that's what I have to do, that's my plan, and I'm not looking back!" She has pumped herself back up and looks at him expectantly, then asks quietly: "What about you?"
"I would have told anyone who asked me two weeks ago me that I knew you well; now it's so different, so much more. And not just the sex – I feel treated like an adult and expected to be one, too. Don't get much of that at home." A rueful smile. "If you feel like I'm leaning on you please tell me: I don't want to add to your problems." He looks at her directly to emphasize this. "I'll walk away before I cause trouble." She gets up and comes around the table to him, goes behind him and reaches her hands to his shoulders, down his chest, to give him a squeeze.
"What'll it be like dealing with people my own age?" he goes on. "I have no idea, and I'll try not say anything critical like 'you have no idea what bad is', but I guess I'll look at all my friends and their issues differently. I liked you before, Grace, and now I feel so much closer. Cutting it off is going to be tough." She leans forward over him and kisses his forehead.
"Thanks. I know what you mean. Let's go move some furniture."
An hour later no furniture has been moved. They are lying down in her bed, face to face, embracing, talking quietly. The guest room paint had not been dry enough for moving that furniture back; the furniture in her bedroom had been too heavy? Inviting?
They had embraced and kissed and he had decided to go as slowly as he could so if she wanted to stop she would have time. But she didn't: she let him kiss and embrace her and she returned both equally. She let him run his hands over her, touch every part of her he could reach, and made no resistance other than low, guttural noises. He had removed her clothing with almost painful slowness, and she didn't have that much on, that it seemed to take hours. She removed his clothing in occasional bursts of desire and frustration. Once they were stripped, they kissed and licked and tried to inhale every part of each other's torsos so that when they finally made love he went off like a rocket, leaving her less than satisfied. But he both knew this and was able to bring her to climax with his hands and his tongue.
Now, in the post-afterglow (it's been 15 or 20 minutes) they are discussing a most incongruous topic: seeing other people. They remind each other of their original rules of non-exclusivity, non-attachment, non-romance; that when their time is up they will go separate ways and have their separate lives and relationships. They embrace and she rolls him on top of her and reaches down to guide him into her body. They move together slowly at first but after a few minutes with increasing speed, clutching at each other, holding. Faster. She cries out "Don't stop, Peter!" He grunts and stiffens, she stiffens and groans loudly and they are rigid together for a moment, then softening.
Another round of afterglow and post-afterglow. "We should get some work done or people are going to wonder just how lazy we are." Grace says with a smile. "The painting has to get done sometime." He rolls away from her onto his back and stares up at the ceiling, his breathing now steady; she runs her hand down his chest and stomach to his groin. "Come on, sweaty guy. We won't waste time putting on clothes 'cause we'll just get them all sweaty, too. Naked furniture movers – that'll be fun!" and she giggles as she sits up and steps out of the bed, still holding one of his hands to pull him after her.
It takes almost an hour to get the guest room in order, her bedroom furniture moved so he can start to paint the room tomorrow, and the guest room bed made up for her as she'll be in here for a few days. And they're still naked and still sweaty. "Ice tea?" he asks admiring her clear, smooth, slick and glistening skin, her smiling face with fly-away dark blonde hair stuck to parts of it, and her full breasts. She agrees, not to subtly eyeing his olive-skinned muscular figure, smiling eyes, and hanging penis. They go to the kitchen to see if there's any ice tea left – fortunately there is so they pour glasses and look for snacks. About all they can find is a bunch of bananas, so they sit at the kitchen table ("easy to clean sweat off the vinyl chairs later" says Grace) and they watch each other peel and eat bananas. Grace is the first to break out in giggles as they play with their food; Peter suggests, as seriously as he can, that maybe the peels would make good birth control devices, then he starts to laugh.
"Time to be serious." Grace says with as straight a face as she can manage, bunching her eyebrows together in feigned seriousness as she looks at him. "What's the schedule for the next couple of days?"
He takes a moment to compose himself. "Well, paint tomorrow morning, but I have to be off by 1:00 to go home and get ready for the party."
"That's right, your family barbeque. I almost forgot." She gives him a sly smile. "I can get you off by 1:00," giggles "and I promise to behave at your family's party. I can probably even say something nice about you that would not shock your mother." She giggles again, he blushes.
"That'd be good. Saturday is yard work, then I have whatever Shirley has up her sleeve at 6:00. What about you?"
"Other than wondering what Shirley wants up wherever she wants it to go" this said with some sarcasm to which Peter responds with a dismissive look "I'm having Saturday evening with Judy. Her kids are out but we haven't decided whether to have our old lady debauch here or there."
He grins: "If you're having it here you may need to buy more of these." and holds up the last of the bananas and they both laugh. "But seriously, Grace, are you OK? Seems to me like we've gone from one extreme to the other in 24 hours. I'm glad we're on the good side but I worry about you."
"Thanks but don't. My head is way clearer than it has been for weeks and I've got you and Judy to watch over me. That alone makes me feel good and safe. And I also think I know better where I am emotionally and what's ahead, and I can deal with it." She stands up from her chair and stretches her arms up above her head, reaching for the ceiling and touching it while Peter gazes admiringly on her nakedness. She brings her arms back down, looks Peter in the eyes, and tells him: "Now bring that banana over here and use your imagination."

The game is great, but too bad there is no single player.i never said i don't like multi player, but...
It's been an utterly insane couple of months of work here at Unknown Worlds and tonight many of you will get your first game of NS2!
Posted by _Xero_ on Jul 27th, 2010
Important before playing: In order for you to play, you'll need to redeem a Steam code that enables the Special Edition black armor and grants you access to the alpha. We will be e-mailing you these codes and instructions at approximately 6pm PDT (GMT-7).
You may be able to download NS2 before you get this e-mail, but you'll get an error message if you try to play before entering this code for the first time. You will only have to do this once and it's only for the alpha.
Note: If you haven't gotten your key yet, you can get it fast by going here.
Hey everyone!
It's been an utterly insane couple of months of work here at Unknown Worlds and tonight many of you will get your first game of NS2!Two weeks ago, when we announced our plans for releasing the alpha, we knew we had a ton of work to do. But we also knew that most of the core game was working, we just had to pull it all together. We've been working so hard for so long on this game, we just knew we could do it.
Tonight you will get the first play of what will ultimately become Natural Selection 2. It is crucial that you know that this is an alpha and it has problems. Our hit-registration has major problems which we were unable to fix in time for tonight. We had to pull the "crag" at the last minute. Skulks can't fit through some vents. Lerk flight doesn't feel right. You might see some dev textures in places. Performance still needs work. So it is not without blemishes, nor did we expect it to be.
Releasing an alpha at this stage is a pretty different model then what the "big guys" would ever consider doing. This isn't like getting the beta of TF2 a couple weeks before it's released. This is getting in on the game when normally only developers would see it - we've even put in the ability for you to give feedback directly into the game and we hope you use it.
However, we do believe it has the core essence of the game in it. There are marines and claws and commanders and resources. Players take on a variety of roles and attack the enemy while jabbering away over their microphones in beautiful, atmospheric sci-fi environments. We wouldn't dream of releasing a game at this state to the public, but we insist on releasing it to you, our die-hard supporters. We are doing this for a few reasons:
So what you will play tonight doesn't have a lot in it. It definitely does not have the gameplay that NS v1.0 did. There are only a few weapons, aliens, stripped down commander role and one map. But we think it will serve all the purposes above, and serve them well.
It's with this in mind that we ask you to be kind and generous with your feedback. Of course we want you to be honest too, but we want you to realize that this is only the very first version, of many many versions to come. We released dozens of versions of NS1 and now that we're on Steam, we expect to release even more of NS2. We expect to ship a new version every week or two, all the way through alpha, beta, v1.0 and afterward. NS1 had a long life and we expect NS2 to do the same.
This is the beginning of a long and rewarding journey, and tonight, we all take the first step together. We hope you enjoy playing as much as we do making it.
The game is great, but too bad there is no single player.i never said i don't like multi player, but...
i pre ordered but the alpha is very buggy and laggy
I gonna Pro-Order haha :P

Uh ... let's not count our chickens before they are hatched, folks.
Chapman is still a very long shot for BYU; all credible sources have him
strongly leaning towards the PAC-12, probably UCLA or Arizona. He would be a
huge get, however -- he can play the 3 as well as the 4 and would be a great fit
with Rose's uptempo style of play. Let's hope. We're in better
shape for Dastrup, but no guarantees here either. One of the two would be
terrific, both would be a big time recruiting coup, to go along with the current
commits. Glory Road??? Let's get back to the NCAAs first, and win a few
games there. As for the "white guys" comment ... last time I checked,
we only see blue here, right?
Go Cougars!

Mr. Gurney doesn't have facts straight. Dastrup does not play for Highland High in Gilbert, AZ. He plays for Mountain View in Mesa... always has. He and Toolson are friends, play for rival high school teams, played club ball together last summer, and same club this summer for this tournament only. Dastrup has played all summer for Cal Supreme club team. He's playing for both club teams this week in Vegas, but in different, simultaneous tournaments.

AAU teams = allot of offense and very little defense. Most of these games are glorified all-star games. I do however, believe that the Utah teams do play more defense than all the other states combined. Go Utah.

The Utah Pump N Run won the Gold division championship in the Super 64 adidas tournament. Along the way they trashed the Dream Vision with top recruits Haws and Andrus by 20 points. The Prospects lost in the first round game of their not so Fab 48 run. Top prospects don't always amount to good play on the court. Takes good players with great coaching to get the job done on the court. That is why UPNR always does well with whoever they get. 95 college scholarships for it's players since 2004 and counting... Just ask the boys from Dream Vision what good team play will do to you! UPNR has done this for years. While this may be the Prospects best year yet it fails to mention that it is the only year of their existence at the 17U elite level.

JUNE 30 AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL — Ilion Post 12, Little Falls Post 2.
ILION POST 12, LITTLE FALLS POST 2, six innings
HERKIMER, N.Y. — Ilion Post 920 scored six runs in the sixth inning for the second time in as many nights to invoke the 10-run mercy rule and defeated Little Falls Post 31 12-2 Wednesday at Herkimer County Community College.
Dan Crim led Ilion Post to victory with two triples, a double and six runs batted in.
There was a tense moment in the sixth, when Little Falls Post (12-4, 6-1 Herkimer County) thought Ilion Post catcher Myles Malta seemingly railroaded Little Falls Post pitcher Josh Martin on a rundown. Heated words were shared between players, fans and coaches on both sides before the umpires finally calmed things down. The tension carried over after the game, when the managers for both teams had words at home plate amidst shouting from both teams' fans.
Martin looked to be uninjured on the play, but was replaced by reliever Brent Baker. Martin was sent to shortstop, and the game continued.
In the game, however, there was much to be happy about for Ilion Post. Pitcher Dan Colburn pitched a complete game, allowing only two hits while striking out six batters.
On the offensive side, Ilion Post (10-8, 6-1 Herkimer County) scored two runs in the first inning, two in the second and two in the fourth, then blew Little Falls Post away with a six-run sixth to end the game early.
There was a bright spot, however, in the second inning, when center fielder Paul Barnes stole home on a pickoff throw to first by Malta. Malta did not get the out and it cost Ilion Post the tying run when Barnes beat the return throw to the plate.
Three walks and two Ilion Post errors had led to the first Little Falls Post run earlier in the inning.
An error and two hit batsmen started Ilion Post's big inning. All three runners would score on one of Crim's triples later in the inning. When the last run scored to end the game, the Ilion Post players, who wanted to beat Little Falls Post to forge a tie atop atop the county standings, jumped around in celebration.
Little Falls Post will try to get back on track Tuesday when it plays Herkimer Post at Harmon Field. Ilion Post plays at home again Friday against Roberts Post of Utica.

HSC is fine, What about entrance exams?
Not only 80-20 system of assessment is the reason, but simplicity of questions is also a reason for high percentage of passing in the state. We are misleading our boys by just increasing percentage in both the SSC and HSC exams. There is a real decrease in their performance when they appear for any competitive or entrance exam. It is seen dreams of parents and students are being knocked down by these exams. The medical entrance exam was conducted for 720 marks and 50% will not even procure 360 marks, which is low. It means these 50% will not be eligible for medical admission. Which is why seats going vacant is a big concern in private medical colleges. Only around 55% of these students pass the first year of professional courses.
Shreeram Geet, Career Counsellor
New assessment system helped me...
The 80-20 marking system has helped me a lot, as I scored above 16 marks in all the internals, so the pressure of scoring in externals was less. We did not fear failure in any of the difficult subjects as we knew that we would score good in the internals. The external exams were easier than what I expected and submitting internal assignments on time added to the final percentage.
Sawani Bhave, passed HSC exam with 76.9%
I passed my exams and scored well...
With the 80 marks theory and 20 marks internal system, I could plan out my study pattern. Assuming a minimum of 15 marks as internals in each subject, I knew I had to score at least 55 in theory to get a minimum of 70 percent. It helped me to drop out a few topics that were tough and study only the topics that would help me to get my target score. Subjects like accounts were tough and I just hoped to pass in them, because of the 80-20 system I not just passed but also scored well in that subject.
Hetal Mehta,passed HSC exam with 80.9%
Paper setting has been lenient for students...
Students are scoring better in HSC because now Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for engineering colleges have started giving 50% weightage for board exams. Students are now taking HSC exams seriously, to get into professional colleges. The 20% internal exams in the hands of the school, so they will make sure that their students are scoring. The paper preparation has been lenient towards both rural and urban students. The entrance exams are application oriented and the board exams are theory oriented. Majority of the students who score better in board exams do not do better in entrance exam like JEE.
Ketan Deshpande, Chairman, FUEL NGO
Cut-off percentage may eventually increase...
The passing percentage in state's board exam has seen a rise this year due to increase in the e-learning skills of the students. Marginally, the 80-20 system of assessment is helping students to score better, which is positive and proactive. For this 205 internal marks, students have to study hard throughout the year. When the final 80% exam comes, it becomes a good revision time. This year with high passing percentage, top colleges will have lot of pressure when the admission process starts. The University probably is not going to allow colleges the additional 10% intake this year. With high pass out, the cut-off percentage will eventually increase.

HOUSTON A Houston woman who was angry that her neighbors were having a noisy New Year s Eve party was charged with a felony for pretending to be an officer when she warnedthem to keep it down, according to Harris County Sheriff s deputies.
Laura Maxwell, 51,was charged with impersonating a public servant.
Maxwell confronted her next door neighbor and told her that the party was too loud, investigators said. When the two women began to argue, Maxwell announced she was an undercover narcotics officer.
The neighbor said Maxwell was wearing some sort ofuniform that had what appeared to be Sheriff s Office patches on it.
The homeowner called the Harris County Sheriff s Department to report Maxwell, and when deputies came out, they discovered her story was false.
Maxwell was placed under arrest and her bail was set at $5,000.

Know How It Feels
- I am also dealing with a man who has PTSD. I have dealt with this for 41 yrs.I had to have surgery. I have had quite a ordeal with what I went though. Besides dealing with his issues, I also receive no affection. After years of this treatment you wonder what you are doing wrong.I am just sick of feeling like housekeeper and cook.As long as I don't say anything I am fine. I wanted some one to come help me with my housework I couldn't do after surgery and he blow up.I have a lady come in 1 hr. a week to vacuuming I can't do. I feel I deserve that hour of help.He has never done any housework believes that is a woman's job! He also is absorbed in TV.Watches westerns all day.Won't go to church. I have went 38 yrs. alone.Maybe went 5 times to see kids plays after they begged. Kids grown.Grandkids almost grown. We only travel if it is some where he wants to go. Doesn't seem to matter what I want out of last few yrs. of life. He is 65. I am 57.Life is too short to spend it like this. Any Advice?
- —Guest M In Ohio
Anyone can beat PTSD
- I've been through lots of trauma's and I am beating the symptoms of PTSD. The best advice I can give anyone who suffers it, to 1. Don't touch drugs of any form, or Alcohol. 2. Keep active, find a hobby that's fun. 3. Tell yourself they are only in your thoughts and it's not happening today. 4. Hang on to those who love you and are supporting you. Don't abuse those who are helping you, remember their not the one's who've hurt you. 5. The biggest thing of my survival is understanding the Panic, anxiety, question my feelings, and when I identify the reasons that's causing the symptoms, I reassure myself it's okay they can't hurt me anymore. 6. Believe in who you are. 7. Stay away from manipulating people, abusers, mix with good people who understand what it feels like for you. 8. Look at yourself, and say I'm Over it and I'm going to live my life to the fullest, and say all the time to yourself I'm Well and I'm Happy. Yes it can be beaten, I do it everyday on no medications. Hugs to all.

They're not doomed
- To read previous messages is quite scaring! A lot of people tend to say that persons with PTSD are... doomed!! Is it just because cases where it goes well don't come here to write about it? I'm 26 and on the go to get married with a girl diagnosed with PTSD and there is always that feeling of a Sword of Damocles over my head but I have faith in her! The roller-coaster ride is getting... less frequent, at least, and we're working on that. I can't believe there's no hope of recovery for people suffering of PTSD!
- —Guest Jeff85
- Hi, I have realised that a mental strategy that I have used and could help both the sufferer and the support system is sling-shotting... enjoying the good times while they last then using the visual of these times for sustaining you until the next.
- —chigi_15
Strategies I have found...
- My husband is 32 and have PTSD (or what I believe is CPTSD) since childhood -- violence with continual abuse in all forms and a constant change in living environments. I realized that he was ill when I married him yet believed that we could resolve this. So far it is getting better though in very, very small steps, and I have yet to understand what boundaries I need to place up to get my and our children's needs met/for our house to be a 'safe or shit free zone'. I have in the 4 years we have been together had two boys (oldest nearly 4 and other 2) and been trying to complete a degree in Education… this I have so far taken off a year for each of my children (including my husband) as I didn't have any emotional energy left. Living with PTSD feels like living in a domestic violence relationship and at times it is… it is very emotionally draining… I am lucky to begin to counter these effects.
- —chigi_15
Violence and Alcohol
- I suffer from PTSD and I want to say to the family members here who are faced with alcohol abuse and violence: It's awesome how many are understanding (I didn't have so much luck with most of my relatives... or friends) but don't take it too far. Alcohol is no help and it may make the anger worse. And please, please don't let yourself or your children be hit and stay, because you want to show support. Understanding and support is great but not at the cost of your own health, physical and mental, or that of your children. So starts a new trauma. It is hard to admit, because I tend to do that, but if there is someone who takes on all your burdens, it doesn't really help. all it will do is cement the status quo. Try constuctive criticism and working problems togehter, encouragement. You can find places for help, but your partner must do his own share to get better. You're worth the effort and you don't deserve to be punished for loving someone.

I suffer with PTSD!
- Hi, I have personally been through a lot of trauma, child abuse, rape, and my story would disturb anyone who read it. But today I will not let the PTSD ruin my life. When I turned 44 I wrote and recorded my first song, "Don't push my button" and I've co-written others, and got other artists to record them. I have a real insight into PTSD now, that I'm getting help with, because I do go backwards at times, but that's okay. Currently my husband is hurting me, loving me and our children one minute, then getting angry over stupid things the next. The arguments have got that bad I reached out for help with professionals. He constantly blames me for his behavior and anger outbursts, but guess what it excites me to know it has nothing to do with my PTSD. We are currently having counseling with a psychologist and I've also made appointments for our children, because his anger outbursts are not mine to wear. The only person can help you is yourself, I fight PTSD everyday, and I'm WINNING:)

I suffer
- I'm a 17 year old male. Two years ago I was run over by a full size van. I didn't break any bones, doctors said I'm lucky to be alive though. My girlfriend really tries her best to understand me, but there's nothing I can do to help her. I feel like nobody can help me now. I don't talk to anyone about my issues, and whenever I get mad or angry, I just shut down and lock myself in my room and want to be alone. But this girl, this one girl, she makes me feel like there's hope, so all you wives, and girlfriends of men suffering from this mental illness, you need to stay with them because we need you! I always push everyone away, but she's the only one I want to fight back and come. My mind will never be the same. Sometimes I wish that the van would have killed me so it'd be easier, but if I didn't have my girlfriend, I'd be lost. My PTSD is something I have to live with for the rest of my life, and I hope she's there my whole life too.
- —Guest iamone
Not Branded...
- Dear Branded - thank you for the reassurance. My husband is a Marine, and his PTSD is so bad I can hardly breathe sometimes. I would never label anyone as "crazy" or "wacko" with how I have to live my life. It's so hard sometimes, not seeingmy friends, not going out and having some time for me, feeling unappreciated. I truly appreciated your comment. Bless your heart, and say a prayer for my husband.
- —Guest AKlady
- 8/4/2011 my husband and I married. He then was diagnosed with PTSD after being in the army 6 years and retired as a charge medic. The first time I was told was he put my daughter to bed and had to leave the room because he was crying it flashed him back to an awful call and losing a 9 year old girl. He shuts down isolates himself, feels like he has no support and worthless because he can't do that line of work either anymore with all the medical problems and plates attached to his body. I don't know what to do. I have tried to support the family by working and even taking a different job for more money. The scariest thing is I myself have to battle with depression and set boundaries and its gotten worse because when he is confronted he is nasty with the most hurtful words no person would put up with.
- —Guest confused
Sometimes the end comes first
- My ex partner had caused a terrible accident as a child that resulted in his father's death. And when he first went to doctors with anxiety, he didn't tell them about it. A friend of his told me his first reported 'incidences' were in his early 20s. he was given anxiety meds. He almost flunked uni, did all the risk-taking, smoked pot, drink driving, smoking etc. But somehow managed to pull it together, finish uni and get off drugs. But when he was in his mid 20s, successful in his career, and had no 'real' things to worry about, the symptoms started to come back. Again he didn't tell the doctor the story about his father and was misdiagnosed with OCD. He accepted that diagnosis and was on prozac for 8 years. He didn't seek further help. It was only after inflicting loads of secondary trauma on me, to the point where the aggression was so bad I had to leave, that he was diagnosed with PTSD. I didn't have the information to help him, or help me cope. It's over now. But he is getting help
- —Guest Broken
split person
- my husband has had PTSD for 30 years but was only diagnosed 10 years ago, it was like living with dr jekyll and mr hyde, walking on egg shells,he just sits in front of tv watching war stuff or news then goes to bed there's no emotion, he thinks its myself and kids that r sick and not him, but i feel that its my fault and so do the kids, he has mood swings,anger and unbearable most of the tie,his thoughts r negative and he just cant be bothered we've been to counseling but he just shut down when she got to close,he now says that i've to go as there's nothing wrong with him but he cant see myself and the kids for this condition and its so annoying as i feel so alone an have been for a while, i feel as if i'm going to lose my sanity at times as i have 8 kids and my husband feels like no 9

Wife of PTSD Survivor
- My husband was abused by a Catholic Priest at age 8. Now, 30 years later, he's still dealing with the effects of this trauma. We've recently discovered he has complex PTSD...which is worst case. I feel like I can't hang on any longer. We have 3 beautiful children and we've been married for almost 10 years. I am very tenacious and determined to "fight this thing"...but I keep getting blamed for hurting him by things I say. I think he's easily hurt, but he doesn't see it. How can we fight this as a team if he keeps pushing me away? I need some hope that there are those out there that HAVE seen healing from this disorder. I'm learning so much as I read this response feed...it makes me feel so not alone. The very tough thing is living in silence. Most people don't know what we are going through... it's not like I can tell people, "My husband has cancer"...instead we are forced to deal with it and put on that happy face to everyone else. I wish I could find a support network in my area....
- —Guest Lonely
How Can I Help?
- Let me start out by saying, I love this man very much , and I am so pround of him and the things he has done for our country. However he was diagnosed with PTSD back in 2006 after he came home from deployment, on this deployment his unit was ambushed and 3 of his fellow soldiers that were in this unit with him were killed in this ambush. He refuses to talk to me about it, I don't want to push the subject to much because I can tell that he doesn't want to talk about it, every once in a while I will ask him something and i will get a bit more from him. I notice at night sometimes he will yell in his sleep. The smallest things will make him angry, as small as me asking him to repeat something he said because I didn't hear him clearly. He will have burst of anger and then get calm, He has turned to alcohol and that has just made it worse, I love him and want to help in anyway possible.
- —PTSD1Spouse.
My Inner Demons
- I have recently been diagnosed as a PTSD survivor and even though it was extremely hard to ask for help, I realized I was spiraling out of control. I felt angry without really understanding why and would go from 0-70 in the blink of a eye whenever this rage would consume me. I just completed PTSD counseling and I had my days when I felt like I just wanted to give up, close my eyes and never wake up. I am doing much better, meditation, realizing that I don't have to allow that hyperarousal which use to just sit in the pit of my stomach, to get the best of me. My family doesn't know what I've been going through because they have their own issues and i am not healthy enough to make their issues my own. If you have someone in your life who you know may have been abused, molested rape, etc, please talk to them about seeking help. This mental issue cannot be solved overnight but with supportive influences, it sure will make the journey less stressful.

Best Venue That Doubles as Someone's Living Room New York 2005 - THE WOODSER
After a few couches and a letterpress are shoved into the bedroom, the unfashionably tidy apartment of Roy Styles becomes THE WOODSER, Williamsburg's coziest venue. The wood-paneled floor makes a great seat to catch Anticon's Why? and the anthropomorphic felt tree called Brother Danielson, and the rolling hills of pillows lining the upstairs loft space are a sublime place to sneak a between-band nap.

Michael has said basically that "he's said enough to make people aware but he doesn't think being specific about it is anyone's business". (Or words to that effect.)
John Barrowman has chosen to be open about his sexuality and that's his own choice, good for him. Michael prefers to keep quiet and that's his choice too.
Michael's a fabulous entertainer, as is John Barrowman. We fans don't give a hoot about their sexuality,
those days are long gone thank goodness!

After crowdfunding an album two years before Kickstarter made their UK debut and creating something like a proto-Bandcamp for their label Corporate Records, the Indelicates are now releasing what is possibly the first ever virtual reality single for a song entitled "The Generation That Nobody Remembered". The free download was designed for use with the Oculus Rift head-set, but a 2d version also exists, along with a simple name-your-price MP3 of the song.
Many of us who are single hate this time of year with the fire of a thousand suns. Maybe that's a little too dramatic, but what else can you say about a holiday solely focused on happy couples trading romantic gifts during what is often the coldest, slushiest month of the year? Plenty of singles will be stuck alone indoors this V-Day, forced to sit through mushy jewelry commercials on TV or sappy ballad requests on the radio.
We know what you're going through, and we're here to help. Here are some pop culture suggestions: movies, books, and video games designed to get your mind off the subject.
The season of the witch (or vampire, princess, random cartoon character, etc.) is upon us, and Hollywood is offering plenty of spooky things to get you into the Halloween mood. But there's more to this month than just one holiday, there is plenty of new music, movies, and video games to keep you entertained also.
The last full month of summer is a mixed bag of entertainment options, with two big movies geared toward the under-20 crowd, highly-anticipated albums, major video game releases, plenty of sports coverage, and TV's wackiest awards show. Whatever you do, try to do it outdoors before sweater season creeps in.

Tooting Broadway is an urban crime drama, whose South London location lends a gritty feel to a fast paced story that highlights a rarely seen gang culture.
24 hours before the Tamil protests outside the Houses of Parliament, Arun (Nav Sidhu) returns home to stop his younger brother Ruthi (Kabelan Verlkumar) from participating in a criminal act that could ruin his life. Arun is granted a day by his mysterious employer, Marcus (Oliver Cotton) to talk Ruthi round. Once back he meets an old flame, Kate (Elizabeth Henstridge) who is struggling with a big decision herself, while Aruns friendship with gang leader, Karuna (San Shella) threatens to suck him back into a world he left behind.

Final Score: San Francisco 15, Kansas City 13
Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Alex Smith led the Chiefs to a pair of scoring drives against his former team, but B.J. Daniels hit fellow rookie Chuck Jacobs with the go-ahead touchdown pass with 2:02 left in the game, to boost the San Francisco 49ers to a 15-13 preseason win over Kansas City.
Quintin Demps returned a kickoff 104 yards for a TD in the first quarter for the Chiefs, who got field goals of 47 and 23 yards from Ryan Succop in the first half.
Smith, who spent the previous eight seasons with San Francisco after being taken with the No. 1 overall pick out of Utah in 2005, was traded to the Chiefs after the 2012 season. He completed 7-of-16 passes for 62 yards in playing the entire first half.
Chase Daniel completed all six of his passes for 51 yards for the Chiefs.
Colin Kaepernick, who took over as the starter for Smith last season, threw just two passes in this game. Daniels completed 6-of-9 throws for 72 yards. Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien also saw extensive playing time at QB.
After Phil Dawson's 42-yard field goal early in the first, Demps raced the other way to give KC a 7-3 lead.
Dawson converted a 55-yard kick early in the second and added another from the same distance in the third.
The Chiefs were without running back Jamaal Charles, who suffered a strained right foot in practice earlier this week.

1900 Department of Interior Map of Chickasaw Nation Indian Territory
Description: This is a scarce and beautiful 1900 R. L. McAlpine map of the Chickasaw Nation issued by the Department of Interior Commission of the Five Civilized Tribes and compiled from the official records of the United States Geological Survey. Part of modern day Oklahoma, the map is centered on Old Fort Arbuckle and covers the Chickasaw Nation as it was located between the Canadian River and the Red River. It notes several rivers, towns, and topography throughout. The map is covered in grids noting the survey conducted by the U. S. G. S. and is color coded to show agricultural land in yellow, mountain land in pink and rocky land in green.
During the Indian removal of the 1830s, known as the 'Trail of Tears', the Chickasaw Indians were forcibly relocated from their ancestral lands in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi westward to the federally recognized native American nation, the Chickasaw Nation, located in the Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma).
The Chickasaw Nation was a member of the Five Civilized Tribes along with Cherokee, Seminole, Choctaw and Muskogee nations. The Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes, or the Dawes Commission, was created in 1893 to negotiate with the Five Civilized Tribes to divide their lands amongst individual members of the tribes. This map was most likely used for that purpose. Eventually Oklahoma would be admitted to the Union in 1907 and the 'Five Civilized Tribes' would lose most of their tribal lands.
This map was compiled and drawn by R. L. McAlpine and engraved by Julius Bien and Co. Issued in the Eight Annual Report of the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes as Exhibit 7.
Date: 1900 (dated)

Cartographer: The Office of the Coast Survey (later the U.S. Geodetic Survey), founded in 1807 by President Thomas Jefferson and Secretary of Commerce Albert Gallatin, is the oldest scientific organization in the U.S. Federal Government. Jefferson created the "Survey of the Coast," as it was then called, in response to a need for accurate navigational charts of the new nation's coasts and harbors. The first superintendent of the Coast Survey was Swiss immigrant and West Point mathematics professor Ferdinand Hassler. Under the direction of Hassler, from 1816 to 1843, the ideological and scientific foundations for the Coast Survey were established. Hassler, and the Coast Survey under him developed a reputation for uncompromising dedication to the principles of accuracy and excellence. Hassler lead the Coast Survey until his death in 1843, at which time Alexander Dallas Bache, a great-grandson of Benjamin Franklin, took the helm. Under the leadership A. D. Bache, the Coast Survey did most of its most important work. During his Superintendence, from 1843 to 1865, Bache was steadfast advocate of American science and navigation and in fact founded the American Academy of Sciences. Bache was succeeded by Benjamin Pierce who ran the Survey from 1867 to 1874. Pierce was in turn succeeded by Carlile Pollock Patterson who was Superintendent from 1874 to 1881. In 1878, under Patterson's superintendence, the U.S. Coast Survey was reorganized as the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (C & GS or USGS) to accommodate topographic as well as nautical surveys. Today the Coast Survey is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA. Click here for a list of rare maps from The United States Coast Survey.
Cartographer: Joseph R. Bien was a topographer and an engineer working the later part of the 19th century. His name appears a number of state and regional atlases, including the important 1895 Atlas of New York. Most of Joseph Bien's work was published in conjunction with the New York Lithographing, Engraving & Printing Company, which was founded by Julius Bien. Joseph was almost certainly related to Julien, though whether he was a son, cousin, or brother, remains unknown. Click here for a list of rare maps from Joseph R. Bien.
Size: Printed area measures 31.5 x 34 inches (80.01 x 86.36 centimeters)
Scale: 1 : 240000
Condition: Very good. Minor wear along original fold lines. Minor spotting at places.

Cambridge University Eco Racing
Cambridge University Eco Racing (CUER) is the UK's leading solar car racing team. The team of 60 Cambridge students design, build and race solar powered vehicles. Founded in 2007, its first prototype vehicle, Affinity became the first solar-powered car to drive legally on UK roads. The team competes in the biennial World Solar Challenge. CUER's race vehicle for the 2013 race, 'Resolution', is known for its innovative tracking plate design, and unusual teardrop shape.
Cambridge University Eco Racing is based in the University's Department of Engineering and comprises around 80 undergraduate members from several departments of Cambridge University. As well as having a large student body, the team is strongly supported by a number of academic and industrial advisers, including Hermann Hauser and Tony Purnell.
The team was founded in 2007 by Martin McBrien, inspired by the solar car team at MIT. Its first vehicle, Affinity, was designed and constructed in early 2008 and was used as a prototype and display vehicle rather than for serious competition. In June 2008, Affinity was driven from Land's End to John O'Groats to raise awareness of sustainable energy.[1] As part of the End to End venture, it was endorsed by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency to legally drive on UK roads, and became the first such vehicle to qualify.[2] CUER runs outreach events at local schools and has been featured in a wide range of local, national and international media.[3]
In July 2008, work began on the second generation CUER vehicle, Endeavour. Following design work by a number of students in the Engineering Department, and with the support of the advisory board, the team competed in the 2009 World Solar Challenge, a 3000 km marathon across Australia. They came 14th, of 26 competitors, after a battery failure severely hindered their chances of competing effectively. Endeavour's 2009 entry was launched by Jenson Button at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.[4]
Over the next two years, they continued redesigning and refining Endeavour, resulting in a car with much improved aerodynamic properties and more reliable batteries. The team used CFD simulations to make minor tweaks to the canopy, and tested the car extensively at a local airfield, before heading out to the next World Solar Challenge in October 2011. There, after the hardest race on record due to a combination of thunderstorms and bush fires, they came 25th out of 37 teams.[5]
Since then, the team has been designing a radical new vehicle, Resolution, to compete in the WSC in 2013.
CUER has competed in both the World Solar Challenge 2009 and 2011, coming 14th and 25th respectively. In future, CUER hope to enter the North American Solar Challenge and the South African Solar Challenge but the current focus is on preparations for the 2013 World Solar Challenge. Historically, CUER had intended to compete in the Zero Rally Africa in January 2009; however, this contest was subsequently cancelled.[6]
Affinity is CUER's first vehicle, built as a prototype and based on a shape taken from MIT's Manta Elite solar car. Affinity became the UK's first road legal solar car, successfully driving from Land's End to John o'Groats as part of CUER's "End to End" tour in 2008.[7]

Originally written on Inside The Panthers | Last updated 11/19/14
The Panthers' injury-depleted linebacker corps gets a boost this week with the return of Omar Gaither. Gaither, who missed two weeks with a sprained knee, will start at the weakside spot Sunday against Minnesota, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said today. Gaither brings a veteran presence to a group that lost starters and defensive captains Jon Beason and Thomas Davis to season-ending injuries the first two weeks of the season. "He looked good. Each day he got better. Today he moved around great. He had a lot of energy, which is typical for Omar," Rivera said. "So I feel good about that situation." The situation with CB Darius Butler is less clear. The Panthers' third corner remains in Florida with his newborn daughter, who underwent heart surgery Thursday. Butler was scheduled to return today, but called Rivera this morning to tell him he needed to stay. Rivera said his thoughts and prayers are with Butler. R.J. Stanford would be the third corner if Butler doesn't play. With backup sa...

Enjoy The Beauty of a Log Home,
Without The Settling Hassles
Thank you for your interest in our custom cedar homes! Our cedar homes are unique in the log home industry because we use decorative grade laminated cedar wall timbers. The laminating process eliminates much of the core moisture and allows for fast wall assembly - without the excessive settling that can happen in traditional log homes.
Our timber walls require only 1" of space above doors and windows (just like a conventionally-framed home). A handcrafted log home can require anywhere from 6-8" of space above doors and windows - to allow for settling. Our construction system requires no adjustments for seasonal expansion and contraction. With our laminated wood wall system, our customers enjoy all the beauty of natural wood without the hassles!
Learn More About Building Your Cedar Log Home
You can see construction photos of this home in our "Under Construction" gallery, and more beautiful photos of this home and other in our Interior and Exterior Galleries.
For more information about project managing your own home or cabin, we have "Expert Advice" to help you do just that. One of those articles features interviews and tips from three women who successfully project managed the construction of their own cedar homes.

What Our Clients Are Saying...
"Very Impressed"
Mike and Judy put together a package for us including getting the drawings and plans prepared and getting all of the materials put together. The drawings and plans were spot on and the City of Newcastle had very little to comment on before approving them. The materials package was estimated just right. The materials were top notch. Our builder was very impressed by how well the materials package was thought through and put together - so were we. Every step of the way, we were given advice that we later found to be on the mark. Cedar Homes of Washington's involvement in our project technically could have ended as soon as the materials package was delivered. Nevertheless, Mike and Judy continued to check in on us all the way through the end of the project. We enjoyed working with Mike and Judy and wholeheartedly recommend them to others.

Lovely hotel in beautiful locationPosted Feb 8, 2015
Had a wonderful stay here, but mainly because our room was a superior sea view room. The room was fantastic, and the view was a dream! I would say that the staff was not all 100% 5* in reception, but the lovely setting made up for it.

Rather disappointingPosted Dec 2, 2014
There are many positive things about this hotel and overall we had a pleasant stay. The service in the restaurants was generally good and the room was well appointed. For the price of a room here, however, having a linen cupboard located immediately outside the door was poor and the fact that this was where loud meetings were held by the housekeeping staff was not very conducive to a post-flight sleep. Also there was a wedding in the hotel the night we stayed and this meant that there were wedding guests outside our patio doors all afternoon and evening providing no privacy but plenty of noise. The hotel decor is rather tired in parts. The sea views are pleasant but the fact there is a road lying between the hotel and the sea rather spoils the atmosphere when you are outside! We stayed in other hotels during our stay in Cape Town which we would rate more highly and I do not think the very high room cost is justified.

Lovely StayPosted Oct 7, 2014
Enjoyed this luxury hotel. Food at Azure restaurant was lovely. Enjoyed a helicopter transfer to the V and A Waterfront. Spa was so so. Not the best massage. Room was lovely. Booked a mountain view room. Had room 112 with a view of Table mountain, 12 apostles range as well as a side sea view. Loved the room. Value for what we paid. Overall good hotel experience.

We had such a great time in the hotel we did not feel like leaving the hotel - just sitting on the balcony enjoying drinks and watching the ocean. We will definitely visit this great hotel again!!!!!!

Relaxing and RomanticPosted Jul 24, 2014
We enjoyed our two night stay at the Twelve Apostles. The rooms were elegant, the staff was 1st class and the onsite dining options were outstanding. The shuttle service was great and the drivers always provided wonderful insight. One evening we had a dinner reservation in town, when we told the driver the restaurant he called ahead and told them to give us the VIP treatment. When we were seated we were greeted with two glasses of champagne which was a nice touch. A wonderful stay and we'd love to come back and visit in the summer.

- " Leonardo House is at a great location in Florence. It was kept quite clean. We thought it would have been nice to have a dresser or useable closet in the bedroom, to properly store our belongings, though. Also I was under the impression that it was a bed and breakfast, but upon arriving at Leonardo House discovered that there were two vending machines which constituted food and drink. No available cups or glasses either. Not sure I would recommend this place, we thought it was only OK. "

- " Great place to stay! Excellent location, very nice and helpful host, clean, and quiet. It was very nice to receive a confirmation email the week before regarding our check in time. As one should expect in any old city, the water pressure in the shower was not super great but besides that it was perfectly comfortable and pleasant. No apparent luggage room, but we just left our bags at the front desk in the morning until our room was ready and it was no problem. "

I stayed at this great new Homewood property over the past two weeks (while on a new job assignment in DC) and will definitely be back several more times over the coming months.
The hotel is brand new, having only opened at the beginning of April. I'm told the building was formerly a very run-down lower class hotel, but everything now is absolutely first-class; very clean & modern! The 2 queen bed studio rooms I have had were very pleasant, well laid out and spacious.
The staff is fantastic...extremely friendly and helpful. In particular, Eric, LaTonya and Natia in the dining area are great! They are always smiling and go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
If there is any downside, it is the food service here. While certainly adequate, the breakfast buffet & evening dinner is not nearly as good as at most other Homewood Suites I have stayed at over the years. The first week I was there hot oatmeal was available each morning, but by the second week this had disappeared, replaced by microwave packets. As noted by others the only fruit at breakfast has been canned peaches or pears; no fresh sliced fruit has been offered (though whole apples, oranges and bananas are generally available). Some days there have been pastries available and other days none have been out. At dinner, the entrees have been generally fine, but the sides and salad are weak and inconsistent. I would say that there is a definite need for someone with restaurant management experience and a flair for quality to help them improve the food offerings and presentations.
The hotel's location is excellent; close to a great variety of restaurants & shopping, several local bus lines and the Gaithersburg MARC commuter train station, which I use to get to/from my job on Capitol Hill.
For the all facilities and amenities offered, the room rates are an outstanding value. I look forward to returning often in the future!
