in The potting shed
The NHS is in a mess at the moment. Everyone does a bit of the job, but not all of it. Everyone thinks someone else will have told you what you need to know. Nobody can keep up. When you are in distress, sometimes sticking needles into veins and arteries doesn't go so well. Nobody has ever taken blood from me or stuck needles in me and had a problem - except for the very sad time when I was in hospital having to give birth to a 20 week baby who had died in the womb. The doctors were trying to insert a cannula. It got more and more painful, and I felt increasingly stressed and like, as you say, a pin cushion. The doctor got more stressed. I was in agony and inner turmoil, because it was the most horrid time. The doctors throughout the whole process changed shifts, the least experienced get the night shift, but it is in the night, when things aren't going too well, that the patients are most vulnerable. I am sorry that your experience was frightening and distressing and badly organised. I can understand how you felt.
Unless they have told you otherwise, your bladder cancer may not be life threatening, and (ironically) it may be for that reason, that they aren't taking greater care of your emotional needs. But it would be better if they had made that clear. When my dad had it, no MacMillan nurse was sourced, and because we changed authorities halfway through the treatment, that was partly our fault. But I found out what I could, and asked the relevant questions, so we did know what was going on and why. I think your operation date sounds good - they are not wasting time - it will not be fast growing, so May 12th is a good date. Like I said to you before, I don't think you should worry about it being agonising and coming to nothing, because it wasn't like that for my dad (who had a very low pain/discomfort threshold) but got through it, despite the fact that in the middle of his treatment - between the operation and the radiotherapy, my poor mum died of a stroke - and he too had had a very close bond with her - they were married for 57 years. There really is a very good chance of a full recovery with bladder cancer.
My mum had a mitral valve replaced in her fifties, after a small hole made by rheumatic fever as a child, and I remember that she just submitted absolutely to the treatment she was given. She trusted the doctors completely, and kind of zoned out, and it helped her get through. But it is not an easy thing to do. She had good reason to trust the guy who operated on her, because he operated on Princess Margaret a couple of years later, so we thought it amazing that she got, on the NHS, the surgeon chosen to operate on a member of the royal family. But anyway, she got better, and had another 26 years of life as a result of that operation. I try to trust on medical things where I can, just because I think it helps you get through, but at the same time, stay alert to what they are doing and why.
My name is Valerie. Only my parents called me 'Val' though, and a few select others. Mainly I am Valerie nowadays, because I miss them so much xx
Oh Mike my heart goes out to you. I to have taken comfort from my faith, but sometimes you just want to scream Why! all I can say is keep hold of your faith, there is a reason for every thing, we just can't see the bigger picture from where we stand. There are so many thoughts and prayers for you and yours rushing towards you right now.x
Mike I am so sorry to hear that you have all the worry of your daughter's situation to deal with at the same time as undergoing treatment yourself. It seems strange that a church would make someone homeless to achieve their own ends without helping to locate new accommodation for your daughter. Perhaps Amanda's good luck was to have two of the finest kids ever. My mum had a best friend who seemed to have a string of bad luck in her life, but the one thing she did have was three loving children, and no matter how hard she was hit, she counted her blessings on those three children.
Oh Mike someone upstairs really is doing their best to test you aren't they. But just remember - they wouldn't be testing you if they didn't think you strong enough to over come it.
I hope your daughter finds somewhere new to live soon, perhaps there are greater plans ahead for her and her wonderful children. Do they live near you currently?
Mike, when my Dad came home from seeing the consultant he announced to us that he had bladder cancer. Mum was on him like a ton of bricks Apparantly what he had been told was that he had cancerous cysts that could be removed. Dad only heard the cancer bit. Like Dove's story, Dad had laser treatment and annual check ups, resulting in one more de-coke a few years later. When he died it wasn't anything to do with his bladder
On one occasion he came out of the bathroom and announced he needed to go back to the consultant as he had a big problem, after urinating the water in the bowl had frothed up. It wasn't funny for Dad but we all laughed, having no sense of smell he didn't know Mum had put bleach in the toilet. Hope that memory of mine brought a smile to your face.
I send you hugs & positive vibes and hope all goes well for you and your daughter.
at the bleach story KEF!
Sorry to hear you had a tough time at the hospital, Mike. They're supposed to make you better both physically and emotionally but it sounds like they're not doing a brilliant job at the moment. We're all thinking of you and sending our support down the wires!
Mike - I really don't know what to say. I find it hard to believe your daughter could just be left high and dry like that, surely they must give her plenty of time to relocate? I hope you can get put in touch with some organisation that can give her support - local housing authority, Social Services and Citizen's Advice for a start.
I admire your strong beliefs Mike, even though I'm a total atheist. It must give you such a lot of comfort. Let us all be your shoulder for crying on - whenever you need it. x
Glad to see you more at peace last night
Morning Mike, so pleased you're not feeling so down. Take care, sending hugs x
Me too. It's a series of hurdles, to be taken one at a time. Lots of cancer survivors say they feel better once they know that that malicious little ball of cells has been removed from their bodies, but for now, you need to plan for how you will cope physically after the operation. Get things lined up - fill the freezer with easy meals to cook/heat up, do what you need to do with the plants so you don't have to worry about them, make sure you are stocked up with essentials like loo roll! Get some magazines or books ready that you might like to read, or some DVDs to watch. You will need a lot of restful stuff to do while you heal, and especially towards the end of the radiotherapy course, if that is what your doctors decide you should have. xx
We'll wait to hear from you Mike .............. when you're ready
Stay strong Mike, 'see' you next week, best wishes and hugs xx
Drink lots of soft drinks and beverages, and limit the stronger stuff before the 2nd then - they'll be looking for a very clear, clean sample before they get started!! (I'm very bossy!) God bless Mike xx
I wasn't sure whether to post last night or not after Mike's last post, but seen as others have I I will
Take care Mike, you know already we are all with you and look forward to to your posts when you are back again.
Hugs and best wishes xxx
See you soon mike. We'll all be thinking of you and wishing you well x
Lots of love and kisses Mike . I know you will be OK. Hugs and kisses.
I've just been away for a week and have just caught up on this thread. So I will add some more hugs and kisses to the others. I'm a Christian too so I'll pray that God will look after you during all this. Feel free to chat before the 13th, Mike, if you're feeling the need to talk to someone.
Gosh they really have got their teeth into you!
From one Mike to another.....
Comfy jammies, cozy bed,
big soft pillow for your head.
Worry not, the world can wait..
Just take your time and recuperate.

Ephesians 2:11-18New King James Version (NKJV)
Brought Near by His Blood
11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Christ Our Peace
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

DEFINITION of 'Stock'
A type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a claim on part of the corporation's assets and earnings.
There are two main types of stock: common and preferred. Common stock usually entitles the owner to vote at shareholders' meetings and to receive dividends. Preferred stock generally does not have voting rights, but has a higher claim on assets and earnings than the common shares. For example, owners of preferred stock receive dividends before common shareholders and have priority in the event that a company goes bankrupt and is liquidated.
Also known as "shares" or "equity."
BREAKING DOWN 'Stock'
A holder of stock (a shareholder) has a claim to a part of the corporation's assets and earnings. In other words, a shareholder is an owner of a company. Ownership is determined by the number of shares a person owns relative to the number of outstanding shares. For example, if a company has 1,000 shares of stock outstanding and one person owns 100 shares, that person would own and have claim to 10% of the company's assets.

Listen to Dori Monson weekdays at 12noon on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM
Dori Monson
< Dori Monson
Could you kill and eat your dog to survive?
If you were stranded in the wilderness facing death, could you kill and eat your beloved dog? That question sparked a spirited debate this week on the Dori Monson Show after a hiker was found close to death following three months stranded in a remote area of Canada.
Marco Lavoie, 44, had planned a lengthy trip into the forbidding Nottaway River wilderness 500 miles north of Montreal with just his loyal German Shepherd.
But disaster struck when a bear attacked, destroying his canoe, and food supply.
The dog chased off the bear, saving Lavoie's life. But Lavoie badly sprained his ankle and couldn't hunt or forage for food. Three days later, desperate to survive, he made a difficult decision. Lavoie killed his dog with a rock, cooked, and ate it, according to Canadian news agency QMI.
Rescuers finally got to him by helicopter last week, and Lavoie remains hospitalized in serious condition. He'd lost 90 pounds and suffered severe hypothermia and frostbite. But his dog saved his life.
Friends say the dog was Lavoie's best friend.
Now, Lavoie is being vilified by many who are appalled he could eat his beloved companion, calling it animal cruelty.
While Dori isn't criticizing Lavoie, he says he doesn't think he could eat his own dog.
"It was either that or they both die," Dori says. "I can't imagine that. But I also can't imagine not ever seeing my wife or my daughters again. Or Jake for that matter."
Many listeners agree.
"I don't think he's a horrible person, but I know that I couldn't do it," says Mike in Puyallup. "I would sacrifice my life for my dog. I would rather die than do it. I love my dog that much."
"I'm not sure I could eat my dog," says Tyler in Issaquah. "But I could eat a dog. If Dori and I were out hiking, I'm pretty sure I could eat his dog," he joked.
Others were extremely critical of Lavoie. "They need to euthanize this guy for eating his dog," says one.
Producer Jake says he wouldn't hesitate to kill and eat his dog if it came to a matter of survival. But he wonders if Dori would consider maybe just eating part of the dog, perhaps cutting off a leg or something.
"That's dumb...I'm either eating the whole thing. I'm getting me a loin chop, or I'm eating nothing. No, I couldn't eat the leg. Plus, what a hassle when you get back to society having a three-legged dog," Dori jokes.
But seriously, what do you think?

Greg and Amanda
Boston, MA, United States
We wanted a unique, glamorous, modern, and romantic wedding. I know that's a lot of adjectives, but our wedding hit each one out of the park! To set the tone, we of course had to choose a unique venue – The Liberty Hotel in Boston. Between my knockout Lazaro gown, my bridesmaids' elegant Alvina Valenta dresses, our gleaming decor, the sensational flowers and a ton of love, we definitely achieved something glamorous, modern and romantic, too. 11/5/11 was better than I could have imagined!
Amanda wore Lazaro bridal gown style 3056 , purchased from Kleinfeld Bridal , in New York, NY and Amanda's bridesmaids wore Alvina Valenta bridesmaids dresses style 9964 , in Eggplant Chiffon, purchased from Here Comes the Bridesmaid , in New York, NY

As much as I hate to give this racist any more attention than he's already gotten this past week, Donald Sterling, owner of the LA Clippers NBA team has become pretty hard to ignore. In real life, TV, and social media, his offensive comments are all that anyone is talking about. But my question as a PR practitioner, is: "Were they right to ban him?"
This article at PR News attempts to answer that question by deciding the important factors in the decision:
- Determine the severity of the sin. Considering that there are many African-American/black players in the NBA (including his own team!!), as well as fans of many races who support equality, it's pretty bad.
- Determine the Investor Relations (IR) response. Some sponsors have already started abandoning the Clippers; they don't want to be associated with his bad press. Understandable.
- Determine whether the CEO's brand can be distanced from that of the company. If it weren't for social media, and the fact that there are hyperlinks to damning articles all over the web, maybe. But in actuality, no.
- Determine how the sin relates to the company's brand.
- Determine how the sin's timing affects its impact.
- Determine the cost/benefit of sticking with an embattled CEO.
- Determine how much goodwill resides in the CEO's trust bank. Honestly, I had no idea who Donald Sterling was until this story broke. I am not an avid NBA fan, but I feel like many others are in the same boat I am. His name is so tied up in this, that his racist behavior is all people know about him.
Given my understanding of the situation as a whole, I believe the NBA made the right choice in banning Sterling. It's got nothing to do with free speech. He exercised his right to free speech…and millions of NBA fans exercised theirs by taking social media by storm and demanding action.
Had the NBA decided not to penalize Sterling, or had they waited any longer to make a decision, I think they damage might have been irreparable. With sponsors already pulling out, the potential for Clippers players to refuse to play, and the potential for other NBA team to refuse to play the Clippers, there could have been some serious financial harm to the organization.
At this point, my recommendation for Mr. Sterling would be to keep a low profile, not "fight back" with excuses and perceived whining, and certainly not make any more questionably offensive remarks.

lol~ thx Japan... by AskAkashiLioWatch
©2013-2016 AskAkashiLio
(=.= meanie... us woman arent that bad...
Well, I study Chinese, and 女 so happens to be girl in CHINESE. Aaand I don't know about the other one though...
*sigh* Somewhat true.... But guys can be super annoying too!
no,姦means rape. Have you checked the dictionary?
According to google translate it's "fucking" in Japanese
In Chinese.
Or wicked in Japanese as well.
Now let's get this straight. Japanese is a complicated language and this kanji [姦] means many, many things in both Chinese and Japanese. Honestly it depends on the context. I also found out that [姦] can mean noisy in a kind of boisterous way. There are different kinds of noisy, there are different kinds of wicked, there are different degrees of rape. They all have terms in English as well as in Japanese and Chinese. It's just that sometimes they are written the same way and pronounced differently, or sometimes there may be more kana at the end of the kanji to change its meaning.
it's not Japanese! it's Chinese.
and 姦 is a word with bad meaning......
Japanese kanji is based on Chinese characters. They have different meanings, but they look the same and are pronounced differently. Learn about this stuff.
that word on the right means rape instead =_=lll
In Chinese, 姦 is most commonly used as rape.
Well played Bongo...well played.
I don't recognize this kanji as saying "noisy". 煩い <- This is meaning "noisy". No such kanji for this word exists like pictured.
I should say it rather, "No such kanji for this word exists like pictured.. that I know."
It exists however it is usually not used. It can also mean: wicked, mischief, seduce, and rape. Where wicked is the most common use of this kanji
really?? huh...
I can't speak for the Japanese, but considering kanji are derived from Chinese hanzi, maybe I can help out?
In Chinese, this character does exist, but the meaning is more sinister. It comes out as "wicked", "treacherous" (adj) or "traitor" (noun). See www.nciku.com/search/zh/detail....
I'm not sure if it would have the same meaning, but usually Chinese hanzi are the same as kanji. If so, this points to a sexist ideology. It's important to remember that the characters are 2500ish years old, so views have changed, but even so, I can't say I like it.
Oh, profuse apologies. That took me to the wrong page. Nope. I can't find this character either. Sorry to the Chinese/Japanese language.
alright.... its okzzzz~
that is too funny!
hahaha this is clever indeed.
haha, men are just jealous is all.

Here's what I'm talking about - a steampunk Computational Engine vs. a Harley Davidson-inspired case mod. How can one possibly choose? One just has to. Flip a coin, or something.
In Mod Shop tournaments, like Thunderdome, two enter and one leaves. Which of these rigs better exemplifies the type of attention to detail, engineering prowess, imagination, and creative ability required to win the top prize (A copy of Windows Vista Ultimate and $1200, natch)?
Don't forget to vote in the seven other battles, either - you can vote on each battle once per day.

Friday for Stephen Strasburg's surgery
Updated: August 31, 2010, 9:15 PM ETAssociated Press
MIAMI -- Washington Nationals rookie ace Stephen Strasburg will have Tommy John surgery on Friday to rebuild his injured right elbow, an operation that is expected to sideline him for 12 to 18 months.
The ligament replacement surgery will be in Los Angeles and performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum, with Nationals team doctor Dr. Wiemi Douoguih assisting.
"He is dealing with it like a professional," Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said before Tuesday night's game against Florida. ...

Customer Reviews
My Favorite App BY FAR!!!!
I absolutely LOVE this app.! It is definitely the best app out there for free daily downloads! I have tried others, but immediately delete them, because they do not even come close in comparison with "apps gone free"! Everyday I get the notification that the daily list of free apps is available to look at and download. Around 12:00 PM (noon), daily. Eastern Standard Time. Just like clock work! Faithful and reliable, every day. Even weekends AND holidays! The list is not overly long, so it doesn't take long to scroll through. Usually around 6 apps daily. They show screen shots of the app/game, and have a wonderful description of it , as well as reviews, etc. They take only seconds to download, and even less to delete if you don't like them for some reason. I have found all of my favorite games I play daily, from this awesome app.! As well as other great utility apps., etc. You have tried the rest....now try the best!
AppsGoneFree is a fantastic app. I love being able to try out a variety of apps, many of which would usually be costly (ie they don't just post $0.99 apps). Sometimes I end up not liking one of them or finding it not useful & I don't feel bad about deleting it since it cost me nothing. On the other hand, I will often check out the developers other apps & find something I like there. I really like the variety of educational apps they offer--my kids are too old for many of them but they are often perfect for my 2 yr old niece (who really knows her way around my iPad!) The only thing I sometimes find annoying is they do post a LOT of photo apps--really how many of those things do you need? Overall though this is one of the best apps I've ever encountered & I use it every day!
The Best App I EVER Downloaded!
To start, this is a free app that finds you free apps! I have NOT one negative thing to say about this app. What could be better? Who should complain about this app? NOBODY! The few people that did complain about "wanting more variety yada yada I'm lazy, greedy, and cheap", this is what I will say to you... "Take your OWN TIME and find those apps and pay for them". There are PLENY of amazing free apps that you would normally have to pay for that THIS app finds for you for free... free! Or hey, how about this, send the developers a donation as I'm sure they are working very hard to always improve this app to the max! I have been using this app for 4 months, some days I love what they have that other people may not, or vise verse. I have so many terrific apps now totally free that I need help!! AA Perhaps?😃. Thank you developers!

"We enjoyed our stay. Thank you ïŠ.â€
AV, Florida, party of five, September 3, 2015:
"Thank you so much, we had a wonderful time. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The kitchen was well stocked, although we ate dinners out we used it for breakfast and lunch. Very comfortable home.â€
CT, Illinois, party of four, August 20, 2015:
"A slice of Heaven! I cannot rave enough about this property or the managers! Everything was as described and the personal touches were amazing! The pool fence was the perfect type to keep my curious 5 year old out of, yet easy enough my husband and I could operate it. The home was beautifully decorated and everything was very easy to find. The welcome packet included nearby grocery stores and things to do. The quick walk to the beach was very easy and everything we needed was already here! The beach was amazing and wasn't very crowded for July. We were able to watch a shuttle launch too! I would highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a relaxing home away from home with quick beach access. We loved our stay so much, we may move here in the near future!â€

TP, Tennessee, party of five, July 25, 2015:
"My family and I rented this property for 6 days. I can not say enough about how perfect this property was for us. I will start with the house itself. Simply beautiful. The decor is very comfortable and modern. The kitchen is updated and fully stocked with whatever you will need to prepare meals just like you are at home. Just go to the grocery and buy food! The 3 bedrooms are adequate size with one being on the other side of the house with an attached bathroom. This was perfect for my mother who joined us on the trip. There is a cabinet full of movies and one full of games. Towels are supplied as well as all different kinds of beach stuff. Of course the heated pool is awesome and was the highlight for my kids. There is a chest filled with pool toys as well. The outside patio is very nice with a sitting area surrounded by flowers. Even though the house is located in a residential area, you feel very private and peaceful there. The beach is 1 block away! We walked there several times each day. The pier is within walking distance as well. I see no other way to visit cocoa beach. I will never stay in a hotel or condo again! Thanks for such a wonderful time. We will be back!.â€
MW, Illinois, party of three, July 11, 2015:

LW, California, party of one, June 4, 2015:
"This was my second stay at the McKinley Beach House in Cocoa Beach. I adore it. The house is so nicely decorated and located only steps from a fabulous sandy beach. It has a heated swimming pool in the enclosed yard which is great for an afternoon or evening swim. The house is well-appointed with all the amenities one needs from well-stocked kitchenware to pool and beach accessories. You will be in walking distance of stores and local restaurants as well and if you rent a car, it is easy to get to Orlando and surrounding areas. I stayed here solo - totally for a relaxing beach holiday, but it would a great place for families as it has three lovely bedrooms and an awesome gourmet kitchen. Jon Sayers is delightful, accommodating and pain-free to work with while making your reservations and beyond. It is a very relaxing place to vacation and I would highly recommend considering this beach house for your stay in Cocoa Beach.â€
CV, Iowa, party of seven, May 20, 2015:
"We enjoyed every minute of our stay in and outside the home and made it very hard for us to return to 50 degree weather. Thank you for providing all the helpful information from the moment we had landed and till the moment we had to depart. Thank you for providing us and our family with a nice, clean, and safe home. Not enough thank you' s could be said for such a short but wonderful trip. I hope in the future when we come back to the area this McKinley Beach Home will once again be available for our stay. THANK YOU AGAIN for Everything!!â€
JR, Massachusetts, party of five, April 26, 2015:
"I wanted to thank you again for allowing my family and I to rent your beautiful vacation home. It was beautiful, well kept and very nicely decorated. We have absolutely no complaints. : )â€

JL, England, party of five, April 14, 2015:
"My family have just completed a weeks stay at the villa and had a great time. Jon and Liz make this place, starting with a fantastic welcome pack full of great advice and recommendations you knew you would be in for an easy stay. The villa represents great value for money and is only 3 mins walk from the beach and 10 mins walk from the pier so is ideally located. Shops and restaurants are only a stones throw away too. Would I return, definitely! thanks guys for making our vacation stress free.â€
GB, Ontario, party of six, March 22, 2015:
"My wife and I and four children had a very enjoyable stay at this Cocoa Beach home. Super convenient to the beach and lots of stores and restaurants. The home has been updated with new appliances, flat-screen TVs, etc. Lots of room for our family with teens to hang out and relax. We all loved the pool. Jon & Liz were very accommodating with well-organized information and great attention to details. They went the extra mile to make our stay very relaxing. After the long drive from Ontario, the cold beverages waiting in the fridge hit the spot. High recommended!!!â€
CH, Illinois, party of four, March 16, 2015:
"What a great vacation home to enjoy a week away with family - loved that 2 bedrooms were at one end of the house for my son and dau-in -law to be close to my 2 year old grandson. The 3rd bedroom with its own bathroom at the other end of the house gave Grandma a separate space too! The house was cozy and warm, beautiful kitchen with everything you would need to cook! Jon and Liz answered all our questions before we got there, had plenty of information provided once there on things to see and made sure we knew about the shuttle launch which we could see from the back patio against a beautiful sky full of stars. Totally enjoyed the pool and grilling/eating on the patio in the evening. The beach equipment provided made for easy convenience to walk the short distance to the beach to enjoy the ocean. Thanks Jon and Liz for making this easy - we hope to be back!â€
AG, Alberta, party of three, March 1, 2015:
"We absolutely love the accommodations! You could have squatters on your hands, if we didn't have careers and a mortgage! Lol!â€
ER, party of six, February 19, 2015:
"The house exceeded all of our expectations. the house was clean and very comfortable came equipped with everything needed to have a relaxing vacation. the outdoor area was especially nice we spent all of our time out there. the kitchen was also well equipped and clean. the easy access to the beach was greatâ€
SC, New York, party of six, January 31, 2015:
"We loved the house and had a great time. Nicely decorated, fully equipped, plenty of room, good location … just really really nice.â€
JE, Pennsylvania, party of five, January 25, 2015:
"We stayed for four nights over MLK weekend and it was wonderful. The kids (age 10 to 25) loved the pool. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Lots of chairs, etc., to take to the beach, which was a short block away. Jon and Liz were very prompt and helpful in answering our questions, but otherwise left us to ourselves. We took an easy boat ride to see dolphins one day, hiked in the Merritt Island National Wildlife area another day, and went to Universal Studios to see Harry Potter stuff a third. On our last night, there was a rocket launch, which was spectacular!â€
SL, Minnesota, party of seven, December 2, 2014:
"Would go back in a heartbeat! Jon's customer service was wonderful from the first time I contacted him about the vacation rental. To say that he and Liz were accommodating to my large family would be an understatement. They had everything from shampoo and clean towels to toilet paper and every kitchen utensil known to man. I was thrilled to see that there was a pack and play and high chair which made being at the beach house even easier. We were so close to the beach that we walked there many times each day. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. The pool was immaculate. I would not hesitate to stay at any of Jon and Liz's rentals in the future if we are ever in the area.â€
SM, party of seven, Maryland, December 1, 2014:
"My family had a blast and it was a really nice home.â€
PC, Colorado, party of six, November 13, 2014:
"This place is wonderfully stocked! We are fellow vacation rental owners and appreciate how much work goes into this. Well done!â€
DS, Wisconsin, party of five, November 12, 2014:
"Our family stayed in this house for a week and it was PERFECT!!! We could've stayed longer and DEFINITELY plan on coming back to stay again! The house is MORE than what the pictures show and the Sayers were very welcoming!!! We were greeted with a stocked fridge and cabinets (in the kitchen and bathroom), just in case we had forgotten anything. There was all the information we could POSSIBLY need for our stay on the counter waiting for us when we arrived, including a chart listing High/Low Tide Times for the month. Over the course of a week we ran into a couple questions about where some items were in the house and not only did the Sayers respond immediately, they also were sure to mention they were within 15 minutes of the house and could be there anytime if there was any issues. Everyone in our family HIGHLY recommends this house as it was everything we could have hoped for and more!â€
SK, Ohio, party of five, November 10, 2014:
"The house and pool were remarkable we had our best vacation there. The house was great it had everything we needed and wanted. We only had one concern and it was the pool temperature and Liz came and fixed our issue right away. Would recommend this house to anyone. Just a few minutes to the beach. All in all one of the best houses we've stayed.â€
DS, Wisconsin, party of five, November 4, 2014:
"Thanks for everything, the house was awesome, we all had a great time.â€
PS, Germany, party of five, October 20, 2014:
"It was a beautiful house. Everything exactly as in the photos. We were greeted with cold drinks. It could not have been better. We loved the incredibly beautiful furnished home and comfort.â€
SK, Switzerland, party of five, October 16, 2014:
"We spent a wonderful nine days in the Beach House. No matter what we wanted, it was available (kitchen, washing machine, surfboard, beach equipment ...). Highlight is the pool, our children used it usually before breakfast. Very clean.â€
AO, England, party of six, September 1, 2014:
"Met and exceeded our expectation. From the start of the booking process, through the stay and even the follow up return of the deposit Jon and Liz Sayer were a delight to deal with. The property was as we expected but with the added charm that it felt like a home not a rental when you walked in. Even down to the small details like beer and soft drinks in the fridge, coffee, sugar and other consumables in the cupboards and everything you needed for a stress free stay. We stayed with my daughter son in law and two grandchildren, the house was ideal for our extended family with ample room for everyone.â€

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Cocoa Beach, Florida
Cindy Hale
Williamsfield, IL
Exceeded Expectations!
March 16, 2015
What a wonderful place to spend a week with my son, dau in law and 2 year old grandson! The house was very charming and comfortable with 2 bedrooms close together for my son and his family while the 3rd bedroom with separate bath was ideal for this Grandma. The house was very clean, family friendly and we loved the outdoor space to enjoy the pool and patio! We really enjoyed being able to grill out and eat on the patio soaking up the sun and warmth after this cold Illinois winter! Appreciated the short walk to the beach and all the beach equipment you could want provided was enjoyed by all of us. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the drinks in the frig after a late night arrival. Liz and Jon provided information regarding things to see and when Liz came promptly over to help us adjust the pool settings to be warmer she reminded us of the upcoming shuttle launch - and we were able to watch it from the back patio as well! A great place to stay and we hope to go back again to this or another of the properties Liz and Jon manage!

small watercolor from a photo
great! i like it very much
WOW this is incredible I love the feel! the mood is so warm and bright, your lines are excellent and great emphasis, amazing lighting and use of color
Πολύ πολύ ωραίο!!!
Absolutely stunning
This is beautiful. You got perfect sense of color.
that's quite a compliment i appreciate it!you are quite awesome for your age, keep up the good work and soon you'll be posting masterpieces!
I am always amazed at how some artists can get so much detail from watercolor - this is beautiful!
Thank you !There isn't really much detail in that, the viewers vision is often tricked into imagining them !
Great job... I love it!
Congrats! This piece of art has been chosen to be "The Artists Heart" weekly feature! ^.^
Beautiful and well done. Like it very much.
A lovely scene, nicely done!
Simple, eyecatching colors! I like it!
Beautiful work. Very well done.
So beautiful landscape, resting and calming, so skilled work with watercolor, an so detailed.
You did a beautiful job
This is great! I thought it's a photo, when I saw miniature in my messeges! Nice job
Great artwork! well done! ^^
Remind me a lot like an old church my family friend turned into their house. I loved that place. It brings back a lot of memories. Then they sold it to move closer to town. I'm still upset over it.
i know what you mean. it must have been a beautiful place, and your memories made it even more so. You should try to capture those feelings in paper, imo!
and thanks for the fave craze, prettie
and thanks for the fave craze, prettie
Well done, congrats!
Beautiful watercolor. The colors are excellent. A very pleasant painting. Great job!
This reminds me of driving through the country I like!
Nice work, good lights and darks and expressive brushwork. Its just a small thing but i like how you can see the dotted line on the right side of the paper makes it feel more 'on-the-spot' and 'real'...
so beautiful. It's kinda sad that almost all artists have moved onto digital art and have forgotten about traditional one. I am like that as well, but I also draw on paper. Unfortunately I don't usually post traditional art.
Keep it up!
Keep it up!
i see your point, i appreciate digital art but since i m not involved in it, i can't feel the effort and reward for completing a good digital piece. i am sure it takes the same skill and enthusiasm, only from a different perspective
would you say its like people who move from acoustic guitar to electric and never go back?
I am still very traditional but want to try digital more.
I just cant see getting the same 'tactile-ness' from digital, like washing brushes for a start, and blotting out sky with tissue paper or panicking when you think the masking fluid has stuck to the paper

Book Haul (IMM 24)12
August 11, 2012 by Heidi
Hi friends! I'm starting to emerge from my tunnel of Olympic watching and summer enjoying and am at least thinking about getting back into the swing of things. I went through major trauma last weekend when I was camping and my Kindle froze (turns out it was fine, just froze from updating), so I was book free for days. That's been totally made up for by the new joy of an Audible account and some of the best birthday presents ever! Most of what I picked up in the past two weeks was free audio downloads from Sync, but I'm quite excited for everything else (though far too lazy to put in pics of all the audio covers–sorry!):
On the Edge by Ilona Andrews [Amazon|Goodreads] (Library)
Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire [Amazon|Goodreads] (Library)
Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake [Amazon|Goodreads] (From Jasmine)
Locomotion by Jacqueline Woodson [Amazon|Goodreads] (Sync)
Pinned by Alfred C. Martino [Amazon|Goodreads] (Sync)
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickons [Amazon|Goodreads] (Sync)
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor [Amazon|Goodreads] (Sync)
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy [Amazon|Goodreads] (Sync)
Dead Men Kill by L. Ron Hubbard [Amazon|Goodreads] (Sync)
Alif the Unseen by G. Willow Wilson [Amazon|Goodreads] (Audible)
The Native Star by M.K. Hobson [Amazon|Goodreads] (Audible)
Birfday presents from Alyssa–the best ever! She got me this tote bag that resulted in no small amount of squeeing (yes, that is the Dewey Decimal number for KNITTING) and the greatest librarian mug ever:
The latest at Bunbury in the Stacks:
- The Sinister Sweetness of Splendid Academy by Nikki Loftin
- With Bated Breath: August New Releases
- Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
- Salute Your Shorts: The Audition by Rachel Hartman

Unearthing Family History; Funeral Directors Gregson and Weight Have Joined Forces with Caloundra Family History Research to Compile a Database of Three Decades of Burial Records on the Coast
Byline: Miranda Cashin
SEARCHING out your family history just got easier thanks to a collaboration between Caloundra Family History Research Inc and Gregson and Weight Funeral Directors.
Together, they have compiled an indexing system that contains all the burial records of all funerals conducted by Gregson and Weight Funeral Directors between 1971 and 2010 on one CD.
There are more than 20,000 records on the CD, including the name, age, date of death and where each person is buried, whether it is on the Sunshine Coast, interstate or overseas, as well as the addresses of the cemeteries and crematoriums mentioned in the index.
Caloundra Family History Research vice-president Valerie Thornton said the project would make records far more accessible: aIt's great news for local historians and anyone interested in researching family history.a
The index took 16 months to compile and will allow people to independently access the records rather than having to go through the funeral home.
Royce Gregson, from Gregson and Weight Funeral Directors, said community members often contacted the business about their great-grandfather or details of a family burial.
Before the index was compiled, all the records were kept on paper in numerous files.
aI think there's been a real surge of interest in family history,a Royce said.
aAnd these days, with websites and such, it's so much easier. …

Russ Martin's Day in Court Finally Set
The latest non-development in Russ Martin's assault case in Tarrant County is actually a development.
After a couple of time-wasting, docket-management appearances in Fort Worth over the last three months, Martin showed up again this morning and got the word:
His trial date is July 27.
By that time it will be more than a year since his arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, who is these days his fiancee.
"We were hoping to have our day in court today," says Martin's attorney, Tim Powers. "Russ looks forward to full closure of this situation so that he and his fiancee can move on. When you have a client who is innocent, as is the case here, the old adage "justice delayed is justice denied" clearly couldn't be more descriptive of the situation at hand."
Again, I'm just a dorky sportswriter not all that well-versed in the world of jurisprudence. I have no idea whether the guy is innocent or guilty.
But the longer this thing gets weakened and delayed, the more I get the feeling Russ is gonna walk.

The prodigal sister returns in this nicely written and sensitive chapter in McCabe's Bancrofts of Barton Park duet. Including a darling little girl, meddling relatives and a bit of suspense, McCabe's story charms readers and gives them an enjoyable, quick read.
Once Emma Bancroft was the quiet, bookish sister — then she married the wrong man. As a penniless widow, she returns to her childhood home in hopes of living in peace. Like Emma, David Marton desires nothing more than a quiet life for himself and his daughter. He too has felt the sting of betrayal and has no wish to wed again. Long ago there was a spark between David and Emma and, with a glance, that interest is rekindled. As love blossoms, a ruthless cousin, David's sister-in-law, a conniving young woman and an old journal place obstacles in their path. But, with a push into scandal, love will prevail. (HARLEQUIN, Dec., 288 pp., $6.50)

The community manager for DDO gives us some answers
Every other Thursday we're bringing you five questions and answers from Dungeons and Dragons Online. Today, we present our ninth interview, today answered by Victor Wachter, the Community Manager at Turbine.
We're being very active in listening to our players. They're our best source of information on the game. Over the course of Beta, we have frequently looked to them for feedback on gameplay elements and more information on issues that they have encountered.
A good example of this is the recent changes we made to stealth and invisibility. Our Beta players gave us lots of great feedback about the changes and we used that to further refine the system. What resulted was a good compromise and I think that's indicative of our commitment to taking player feedback.
Our plan is to stay in touch with the community and communicate back to them what our plans are in response to their feedback. We've tackled a number of issues during Beta with help from the playerbase. We've spent extra time researching problems that have been reported. Our business gives us so many different opportunities to find out what our players are feeling about our game, and we try and take full advantage of them.
Customization is a reward for your gameplay and advancement. As you level up, you'll find more gear or find enough coin to buy some upgrades. Normally by the time a player has completed a few adventures, they will have found better armor. So, while players may look pretty similar in the early part of the game, it won't be long until distinct outfits begin to appear. As players level up, the items become more powerful and the geometry becomes more varied and elaborate.
People are reacting positively. While D&D has always been turned based, it is also a lot more flexible than most MMORPG's, in terms of how a player's decisions and actions can affect combat. Our action combat system allows us to reward the same sorts of thinking.
Throughout the Beta, we have seen a lot of opinions turn. People needed to experience the combat system for themselves. As they played, they came to realize that the fast paced action creates an exciting experience that is a lot closer to the tension they feel in a tabletop combat situation than one would initially expect.
Gary Gygax's voice already leads you through the Waterworks adventure area. Dave Arneson will be featured in our first update, leading adventurers to meet the red dragon.
That feature would have to be the combat system. The combat model brings the experience to life like never before. Every action your character takes is at your control. And it fits really well into the D&D experience, as you block your enemies or tumble out of harm's way. Just like in the tabletop game, your character's abilities are only part of the equation. You fill in the rest.

Cuts roundup: Dolphins part ways with Seau
The moves have already started, with several teams sending players to the chopping block.
With negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement restarted, a deadline for teams to meet the salary cap limit has been delayed yet again, this time until 12:01 a.m. ET Thursday. Teams have until 9 p.m. ET Wednesday to waive players.
Given the uncertainty surrounding negotiations, players already waived, including those cut on Sunday, could be recalled by teams. ESPN.com's John Clayton reports that the Rams and Jets have decided to stick with their cuts of WR Isaac Bruce and C Kevin ...

Tearaway Unfolded Review PS4
Unfolded ranks as one of the best remasters released, exhibiting a clear sense of love of the property that simply isn't seen when many older games arrive on new systems.
Disney Infinity 3.0 Review Xbox One
The Disney Infinity 3.0 Starter Pack is a great introduction that will keep kids and kidults alike entertained for a long time.
Super Mario Maker Review Wii U
Super Mario Maker is a fantastic creation tool. Just don't expect it to be much more than that.
Dishonored: Definitive Edition Review PS4
There's very little reason to buy this if you've already played it, but newcomers will still find a very entertaining title if they embrace the stealth mechanics.
Devil's Third Review Wii U
Devil's Third is impossible to recommend as anything other than a curio. Coming from Itagaki, this is a huge disappointment.
Until Dawn Review PS4
If you fancy a gory treat that hits plenty of high notes, Until Dawn is highly recommended.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Review Xbox One
One of the best third-person shooters in history returns.
Volume Review PC
Early-game issues aside, Volume is an entertaining and addictive mix of Metal Gear Solid and Trials.

"Beauty and the Beast": Romance abounds in midseason finale
The CW's new drama "Beauty and the Beast" has become one of my favorite shows to watch this season because of its slowly building romantic element and the smoldering chemistry between leads Jay Ryan and Kristin Kreuk.
Ryan portrays "Beast" Vincent Keller, a doctor and victim of a military experiment gone awry who is in hiding. Ryan plays Vincent in a genuine and sympathetic way, and with plenty of charisma.
Kreuk is appealing and relatable as New York City homicide detective Catherine "Cat" Chandler who had a past experience with Vincent and now they've begun a working relationship as he assists her with some of her cases – and a romance is developing also.
This week's episode entitled "Bridesmaid Up!" centers on Cat's father remarrying and her dilemma of not having a date for the wedding – and everyone around her wanting to set her up with someone. No one close to her knows about the reclusive Vincent, of course.
This scenario provides an abundance of opportunities for enchanting moments involving the pair that are sure to please the show's romance fans, and, with this episode being the midseason finale, viewers can also count on some suspense as well.
The "Bridesmaid Up!" episode of "Beauty and the Beast" airs at 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13 on The CW.

Testing New Lens (New Camera Mark III)
So, I got into a horrific car/pedestrian accident on New Years Eve (I won't go into grave detail). I was taking pictures down the street from my house (Long exposures with sparklers to celebrate the new year), when I got hit by a car. All of my gear got destroyed and I finally got a new camera. I switched from Nikon back to Canon! I have my reasons, so don't ask why
Anyway, I just got a cheap lens to get my through until I can get my 24-70 again. I did, however, get my Mark III (Didn't skimp on that). As far as the accident is concerned, I spent a month in the hospital, and I'm still laid up in bed waiting for a skin graft...It's bad.
I'm pretty impressed, however, with the quality of the pictures from this cheap lens so far. It's making me happy for the time being. It just arrived about an hour ago and I'm going to town on it already.

Police say the victim and a person offering to sell him a cell phone met on the 100 block of Hargrave Street about 9:40 p.m. Saturday.
During the meeting, the male seller of the phone pulled out a knife and demanded the money. The victim attempted to flee from the scene but was followed and attacked.
The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries, but was robbed of an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police are continuing to investigate. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 204-986-2848 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
