Bes Sightings
- Deir el-Medina 2001BC - 1001BC
Bes was painted in many houses in Deir el-Medina, an ancient village where the Pharaoh's craftsmen lived. He kept evil spirits from interfering in the workmen's business, protected women and children from these demons, and danced up a storm during festivals. (Source)
- The Divine Conception 1601BC - 1401BC
At her funerary temple at Deir el-Bahri, the female pharaoh Hatshepsut brags about how the pantheon chose her mom to have Amun's kid. When the queen gave birth, Bes and his partner-in-crime, Taweret, helped the future pharaoh pop out. (Source)
- The Chronicle of Events by Ammianus Marcellinus 401BC - 501BC
Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus loved chatting about the early Christians. The philosopher Demetrius wasn't the best Christian, though, since he sacrificed to the oracle of "Besa" near the town of Abydos. Centuries might have passed, but Bes was still rockin' out in Egypt.
- Life of Moses 400 - 601BC
An Egyptian monk named Moses didn't lead his people out of the desert—he hung out there to pray. According to his resume, Moses drove out a demon from the "temple of Bes" in Egypt, which is ironic, since that was Bes's job in ancient Egypt. Mo helped Christianity triumph over the big, bad gods of ancient times.
- The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan 2013BC
In book three of the Kane Chronicles, Bes is often the life of the party. He does cartwheels to make the gods laugh, but he's in need of our hero's help to bring him back to full life.

Glanders: Overview
for Health Care Providers
Two page summary of: Organism, Reporting to Public Health, Infectious Dose, Occurrence, Natural Reservoir, Route of Infection, Communicability, Risk Factors, Case-fatality Rate, Incubation Period, Clinical Description, Radiography, Specimen Collection/Lab Testing, Treatment, and Post-exposure Prophylaxis
Guidance for Health Care Providers
Key Medical and Public Health Interventions After Identification of a Suspected Case
What is glanders?
Glanders is a disease caused by bacteria called Burkholderia mallei. The disease mainly affects horses, donkeys and mules. Glanders may spread from infected animals to humans.
Who gets glanders?
No naturally occurring cases of glanders have been reported in the United States since the 1940s; however, the disease still occurs in other parts of the world such as Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South America. People who get glanders usually have worked with animals that have the disease.
How is glanders spread?
No cases of person-to-person transmission have been reported in the U.S. People who get the disease usually have had close contact with an infected animal. The bacteria usually enter the body through breaks in the skin or through the eyes, nose or mouth.
What are the symptoms of glanders?
The bacteria can infect the skin or lungs or can spread throughout the body. Symptoms of skin infection include rashes, bumps under the skin, or open, draining wounds. Symptoms of lung infection include cough, fever, shortness of breath, or lung abscesses. When the bacteria get into the blood, symptoms include fever, chills, muscle aches, chest pain, skin rash, diarrhea or enlargement of the liver and/or spleen. Some people have symptoms that come and go over a long period of time.
How soon after exposure do symptoms
Symptoms usually appear within 1 to 14 days after exposure.

Bridgette Hair
Bridgette Hair for V4:
HAIR: The hair contains a variety of manually operated morphs. Please dial to taste.
AUTO CONFORM: This hair is set up to 'auto-morph' to Victoria 4 when the supported morphs are used. Please be aware of the auto-morph as you load the hair. It is necessary to reselect a body part on Victoria (preferably hip) before loading. Failure to reselect Victoria before loading may result in the morphs that do not auto conforming and worse being unresponsive to their own dials. If this happens, simply delete the hair from the scene, reselect a Victoria body part and reload the hair.
FIT MORPHS: This product comes with several 'FIT' morphs. These are intended to loosen the fit to accommodate 3rd Party Characters.
GHOST JOINTS: The Hair has 'ghost joints' available in the rigging that allow for extra motion without the limitations of morphs. To access these in poser, simply select the Hair and then look at the body part drop downs. You will see 'rSide' or 'front' or 'back'. Simply use the rotation dials on these joints to adjust the movement of the outfit to your tastes.
FORELOCK MOTION: The joints in the forelock will move the side sweeps of hair in order to appear more natural for head tilts. This is intentional.
TEXTURES AND MATERIALS: 16 high resolution sets of textures for the Bridgette Hair with accompanying materials for both Poser (pz2 & mc6) and DS (DUF). Poser and DS versions of the materials have been optimized for their specific software application and may have slightly different end results due to different shader setups.
Used in these promotional images: Enchanted Forest (Stonemason), Warm N Soul Lights (Fabiana), Brienn Fi (Fabiana), DM Enchanted Glade, DM Enchanted Hill, DM Fairy Charm, DM FAiry Lights & Flinks Skies.

Publisher's Description
A concise guide to understanding how and why the ancient Christian faith makes sense for today and a blueprint for communicating truth to a "truthless" and cynical generation.The book is centered around 6 key principles: objectivity, rationality, veracity, authority, incompatibility and integrity. In the ultimate apologetic, John MacArthur presents a case for Christianity that serves as a logical explanation as much as a solid defense.
Author Bio
John MacArthur is the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, president of the Masters College and Seminary, and featured teacher with the Grace to You media ministry. In more than four decades of ministry, John has written dozens of bestselling books, including The MacArthur Study Bible, The Gospel According to Jesus, and Slave. He lives in Los Angeles.

The malls are already all decked in shiny decorations and lighting in the hope adding some mood to a layout already optimized to nudge people to buy. As illustrated in this short video, the physical architecture of the place is already designed to bias your cognitive map -- helping you get lost, mapping the building or store layout so that you stay more and spend more, too. Physical buildings are not the only place designed to keep you in and nudge you to transact. Social networks are as well.

School Board member seeks update on ethics charges
Published: Monday, August 6, 2007 at 10:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 6, 2007 at 11:10 a.m.
HOUMA -- The School Board needs an update on two legal issues, the possible end to a state ethics inquiry and the status of a recently filed lawsuit, said a board member who plans to call on lawyers for answers Tuesday night.
During the controversy over Superintendent Ed Richards reinstatement earlier this year, allegations surfaced of improprieties at the Terrebonne Parish Vocational-Technical High School, where students routinely provide free labor as part of their training to become mechanics or construction workers.
A teacher was accused of stealing building materials from the school, administrators were accused of covering it up, and board members and other school employees were accused of taking advantage of the training program to get free repairs for their personal property.
The School Board requested in February that the state Board of Ethics investigate members actions. And the teacher, Tommy Sledge, filed suit against the board last month for allowing his confidential personnel records to reach a local television station.
Now, School Board President Clark Bonvillain said board members need to know more about both situations, and he plans to ask attorneys for an update.
Attorneys have had some communication from the ethics board, but it has not been relayed to School Board members, Bonvillain said. He wants to know the outcome -- especially since the board voluntarily asked for the review, he said.
"Whats the big secret? Thats what I dont understand," Bonvillain said.
The School Board also has yet to be briefed on Sledges lawsuit by their attorneys, Bonvillain said. For that, he said, he simply wants to know if there is anything board members should be doing, or more about the boards role in the lawsuit.
"It seems like (Sledge) should be suing HTV, or somebody directly responsible," Bonvillain said. HTV owner Martin Folse has previously said the Vo-Tech principal gave him a video of the alleged theft.
Elected boards have the option under state law to meet in secret over pending lawsuits, but Bonvillain said he doesnt care whether the legal matters are discussed publicly and would not necessarily seek a closed-door session. That, he said, would be up to the attorneys.
"If something can be discussed out in the open," Bonvillain said, "so be it."
Board meetings, which are open to the public, are held at 200 Stadium Drive in Houma. Tuesdays meeting starts at 7 p.m.
Senior Staff Writer Robert Morris can be reached at 850-1148 or email@example.com.

PERRYTON - Perryton Independent School District still needs to whittle down a $500,000 deficit that started as a $1.6 million shortfall before the district made several severe cuts, said Robin Adkins, Perryton schools superintendent.
The school board will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday to set the upcoming school year's budget and its tax rate.
Adkins said the district has already made 25 percent cuts into supplies and travel expenditure budgets, absorbed 11 professional and seven support staff positions, redirected funds out of capital improvements and frozen raises in an effort to make a dent in the shortfall.
The district also eliminated the journalism program after its teacher left at the end of the last school year.
But the district may have to dip into its $1.9 million savings account to get out of the deficit, he said.
"They call it a rainy day fund," he said of the account. "As I see it, it's raining. It's pouring."
The district got to this point from a combination of factors, Adkins said.
He said the district is already at its property tax cap of $1.50 for each $100 valuation, so it can't raise more funds. Local property values are down this year, by about $5 million, he said.
And the state thinks the district is worth more than it is, based on last year's property values, so it's sending the district less money, Adkins said.
The district would have received $400,000 if the state still took into account the sharp decline in property values, Adkins said. But the funding formula changed, he said.
Even the money set aside in the last legislative session for schools will probably come in payments throughout the year, not in one lump sum, he said.
Perry Allred, Perryton's school board president, said districts across the state are facing similar problems, mainly with cuts in state aid.
"It's something that we're going to have to work through," he said.
The school board took suggestions from the school administration on what to cut, and used many of its ideas, Allred said. He said the board made sure the students weren't severely affected.
Adkins said the administration would probably look at other cuts. The district will probably have to wait to buy buses and new trucks or fix the parking lot, he said.
"We will serve at the direction to the board," Adkins said. "If they want us to look deeper, we will."

A group of Wexford fishermen at sea for the previous five days had said last Thursday that the fishermen will no longer abide by E.U. regulations to dump fish back into the ocean if they go over quota.
The crew, which harbored last Wednesday night, was watched over by a member of An Garda (Police) Siochana at Kilmore Quay before representatives from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority arrived last Thursday morning to investigate the situation.

Ali Coghlan (29), from Wicklow, started her online party supply site www.harryali.com, named after her toddler Harry, after she was made redundant from her job in television production earlier this year. She says: "I really do feel my redundancy was meant to be.
"I'd always wanted to work for myself and when I was left out of work in March, I figured 'well, this is the time to do it!'
"The idea came from an experience last year when I'd planned a party for my son Harry (2).
"I wanted to do party bags for everyone but it took ages running round all the shops getting stuff to put in them. Moms and dads who are working full time just don't have the time to do that, so I set up a company that delivers the whole party kit complete to their front door."

Rodeghiero Rizzieri was born on the 5th of december 1919 to a farming family. From a very young age he showed a strong interest in chemistry. His parents remember him in his adolescence bent over pots mixing his first waxes and then later testing these waxes in ski racing competitions. In 1939 in Dobbiaco the man everyone knew as "RODE" won his first important ski race. Many other successes followed, nationally and internationally.
Between 1946 and 1951 he won 7 Italian Championships including the 18km and the 50km nordic races and the nordic combined events. "RODE" prepared the skis that Franco Nones used to win a famous gold medal in the Grenoble Olympic Games. In 1972 " RODE " left the Italian men's national "A" team and founded RODE SKI WAX. In a few short years RODE SKI WAX was used in the highest levels of cross country skiing.

I received a call from someone the next day who called himself "Trevor", who told me that he could guarantee me a business loan, that they get paid a fee on the back-end of between 2-5% of the amount funded...but that they would need $229 from me up front, and wanted my credit card number. After trying to pressure me with a few well-known sales tactics (I used to be in Sales) and assuring me that I wouldn't be liable for any illegal charges (leaving out that getting that money back isn't as easy as it sounds), something obviously didn't feel right, so I put him off until I could do a little research on the company.
He left a few messages while I did my research. The number he wanted me to call him back at was: 877-212-8410, which I could find nothing on. He did make a mistake, though. I had already decided that I wasn't going to give my credit card number over the phone, no matter what...so I called the number and the guy I spoke with the day before answered as "Colter". I asked for Trevor and he asked me to hold...but he disconnected me instead. When I called back THE VERY SAME GUY answered the phone as "Trevor" and pretended not to know that I had just spoken to him a moment ago.
The number "Colter/Trevor" always called me from was: 435-674-3696. I did a search on that this morning and found that this same number has been associated with a "Angela Penbrook Productions" that has been involved in several scams involving rebate processing.
Here's more information that I found doing a few more searches:
Whitepages.com has the number he called from as an unpublished landline located in St. George, Utah.
A whois search reveals that www.unsecuredbusinessfunding.com was only just recently formed in September of 2009 by domain name purchase at godaddy.com. Registrant information is listed as:
Peterson, Jennie firstname.lastname@example.com
2266 View Drive
South Weber, Utah 84405
United States
(801) 897-4547
I'm glad I didn't fall for it, but felt I should post my experience here to make sure nobody else does. If you deal with this guy, proceed with extreme caution...if they're legit, there sure are a LOT of "coincidences" and circumstancial evidence that raises a lot of red flags in my mind.

Waitress' racial remark equals no tip
What is the best way to not receive a tip as a waitress?
According to MSN.com, be completely ignorant and blurt out a racial slur. That is what a waitress did to a customer who just happened to be of Asian descent. The waitress proceeded to call the customer Jackie Chan, believing she was out of earshot.
Unfortunately for the sake of her tip, she was utterly wrong.
The customer decided the best way to respond was with a gratuitous comment that read: "don't be ignorant." As a last word, the man signed his bill "Jackie Chan."
In the words of Stevie Wonder, his message to the waitress was "Signed, Sealed, Delivered."

Mickey Bey on Fight Withdrawal, Top Rank Responds
By Chris Robinson
On Friday night at the Texas Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, undefeated lightweight contender Mickey Bey Jr. (18-0-1, 9 KO's) pulled out of his scheduled ten-round bout against Denver, Colorado's Robert Frankel (30-12-1, 6 KO's).
Bey had been eyeing a television appearance as the co-feature to the Mercito Gesta-Ty Barnett ESPN Friday Night Fights headliner but when advised that his bout with Frankel was going to be off-TV, as it was replaced by the Jesse Magdaleno-Aldimar Silva Santos junior featherweight scrap, he became upset and pulled out of the clash.
Speaking to me late Saturday afternoon, Bey vented his frustrations about the pullout.
"My match got switched, from being, not only on TV but to the first or second fight," stated Bey. "To me, that was just a sign of disrespect. A ten-round fighter of my caliber, a guy who hardly ever lost a fight in his life, when I show up and to say 'Hurry up and glove up in thirty'? My corner wasn't there or none of that."
Bey insisted that this wasn't your typical switch, however.
"I know that it was pretty much [Top Rank matchmaker] Brad Goodman," Bey claimed. "I'm not even going to sugarcoat it. Obviously he had some problems with me and [my trainer] Floyd Sr. meeting with Bob Arum instead of him. This was months back. A couple days ago he let me know he had a problem with it. I guess yesterday was his way of trying to show me that he can change my fight on this day and belittle me."
An hour or so after my meeting with Bey, I crossed paths with Goodman, who shared his side of the story.
"I don't have anything against Mickey Bey and the problem he has has nothing to do with last night," Goodman stated. "That was strictly an ESPN call, not a Top Rank call. ESPN wasn't happy with a guy like Rob Frankel, who lost his last fight and previous to that lost on ESPN to John Molina, and they decided to go with Magdaleno against a kid that was coming off wins."
Goodman went on to add that regardless of whether he was fighting on or off television, that Bey was still going to be guaranteed the same amount of money and still seemed in disbelief towards the pullout.
As far as Bey's future with Top Rank, that remains very unclear at this point.
Just another uneducated idiot boxer.Comment by ShoulderRoll on 08-05-2012
Is Bey suggesting that the Top Rank matchmaker tried to screw with him just because Floyd Sr. is his trainer?Comment by Ringlife on 08-05-2012

Scholars in international relations have long known that ideas matter in matters of international politics, yet theories of the discipline have failed to capture their impact either in the making of foreign policy or the nature of the international system. Recent reengagement with the insights of classical realists has pointed to the possibility of a neoclassical realist approach that can take into account the impact of ideas. This article will suggest that the study of grand strategy can enlighten the intervening ideational variables between the distribution of power in the international system and the foreign policy behaviour of states, and thus constitute the key element in a neoclassical realist research agenda.

So the crazy MW from this practice comes into the room and the first words out of her mouth are "So we'll see you back in 4-5 weeks."
I thought she was lost or something. I had JUST arrived and hadn't even had my appt yet! She did go on to throw some orange drink at me and tell me I have to take a glucose test at my next appt. No explanation. Checked the baby's HB and essentially chucked me out the door.
I have already scheduled an appt with a birth center in the area and my records have been approved so I should be done with the crazy MW/hospital practice and off and running to a natural childbirth oriented birth center!!! I am not sure tho if they will want to also do this glucose test.
Question is....is this really necessary. I haven't had time today to do any research, but I always find you ladies incredibly helpful and full of links and info regarding just about everything! (hint hint)
To Glucose Test or Not to Glucose Test....why or why not?

After what must have felt like years for Liverpool fans, Adam Lallana has finally arrived at Anfield in a £25million deal after an extremely impressive season with Southampton last year.
Lallana is the Reds' second summer signing, following former team-mate Rickie Lambert to Merseyside in what must be an exciting season ahead for Liverpool.
But while fans rejoice at a major coup, how much more can Lallana offer the Liverpool team? Is he the man that can make the Anfield faithful forget about the departing Luis Suarez?
Here are FIVE REASONS to get excited about new Liverpool signing Adam Lallana.

South Carolina is taking up an issue that's also moving through the Georgia Legislature.
Governor Mark Sanford says he supports a plan to require women seeking abortions to see an ultrasound of the fetus.
The House discussed it, but it's been postponed.
It would be the first law of its kind in the US.
Georgia's law would only make the ultrasounds available to women before an abortion.

Hello friends, rather than bore you with my usual diatribe against modern fighting game design I want to post mostly pics with brief descriptions of where the errors lie with the designs. I'll let you connect the dots, make your own observations and as always question my position on the (sorry) state of fighting character design. The worst of the concept art for most fighting games is rarely, if ever, seen by the masses. I'm here to shed some light on the difficulties with trying to make a "universal" cast of characters.
Let's look at some comparison pieces between Capcom and SNK and see where the similarities are. The character below and to the left was a concept character for Street Fighter III. The idea behind the successful Street Fighter II was being revisited. A cast of characters from around the world were designed to appeal to many different cultures and fighting styles. The characters below and to the right were concept characters for the original King of Fighters. These characters are similar and all based on ill-advised, if not stereotypical Arabic themes.
The Japanese design aesthetic has always been unique and quite refreshing when compared to western comic book, cartoon or graphic novel art. With that said it is still possible to see very questionable designs.
The Japanese "strongman" in fighting games has been top heavy in recent years. The decision to use tights and boots probably based on pro wrestling. The odd haircuts for a SF III concept character (below left) and a KOF 2000 concept character are probably coincidence.
The trend which I find upsetting in fighting games is the shift away from traditional martial arts archetypes to younger female fighters. If a fighting game lacks a martial art then a new character with that style will be introduced. Chances are that the new character will be female and chances are they will be a child rather than an adult. In some instances the fighting art doesn't even have to be real, it just has to reflect some sort of fetish that is supposed to appeal to male fighting game fans. Elisabeth and Momoko from KOF XI represent that style of character design. Elisabeth isn't even getting a mention for how little she resembles a fighter. Momoko however is absurd. The series had been lacking a capoeira fighter for years (not seen since Richard Meyer in Fatal Fury and Bob Wilson from Fatal Fury 3, games released in the early and mid 90's) so when SNK decided it was time to return to the art then they incorporated it into a girl could go toe-to-toe with stronger female and male characters. The third character was a concept Aboriginal fighter from Australia. I'll let you speculate on her fighting art or purpose.
The Street Fighter series has been shying away from strong martial arts archetypes and has been headed in a similar direction with regards to KOF character designs in recent years. The inclusion of younger and younger female fighters, as fanservice or pandering to the masses is something that I believe weakens the franchise. The most iconic of the fighters were grounded in reality. Be they dangerous muay thai fighters, powerful wrestlers or god-like karatekas, at some point in history there really were fighters like the majority of the longest-lived characters.
At the same time the SF universe left room for the fantastic, amazing young fighters with awesome abilities. There has always been some semblance of exaggerated reality in the series, even when powerful girls were added into canon. The problem the series has been facing is the inclusion of younger and younger female leads which look less like fighters and more like anime characters. These girl leads can go head-to-head with the icons and their respective fighting arts. I've argued this point on other blogs and ask that you read them if you haven't already. It concerns me that Tae Kwon Do from Korea finally gets recognition in the greatest fighting franchise ever, yet saddened that the martial art is placed on a girl with a design aesthetic that counters the traditional SF character designs on top of an awkward an unrealistic stance that defies the actual fighting art.
Street Fighter IV has been moving closer and closer to KOF territory. The return of girl fighters Sakura and Cammy were only the beginning. Their purposes and fighting arts made sense within the game and canon. Sakura was emulating Ryu and served as a tribute to the character and parody of Yuri from the Art of Fighting. Cammy was a trained assassin from Shadowlaw that had amazing strength thanks to steroids. This was the reason why a young British girl was able to stand up to stronger male and female fighters. The latest character Juri, is a mix of psycho power and Tae Kwon Do. Her source of power and amazing abilities are based partly in reality and partly on psychic abilities. I don't remember a time in the history of Street Fighter where a character was split between two arts / sources of power. It concerns me that SF characters will become less distinquishable from the pop-friendly KOF or even Tekken designs.
Just as alarming is the direction that one of the better SF IV characters almost had. Kotaku reported on the Street Fighter IV blog that SF IV battle planner Taisaku Okada wanted a very small and feminine French boy named Abel added to the cast. The reasoning was "with Abel, we wanted to make someone representative of the 'weak can beat the strong,' and so he was originally a small judo character who could be mistaken for a girl." Hmm, an effeminate boy that could easily be mistaken for a girl in a fighting game... am I the only one that sees a problem with this type of character design?
Thankfully they took Abel back to the drawing board. They returned his design to a more traditional fighter aesthetic, with large muscles, solid colors and real-world fighting gear. The end result was the most timeless of the new cast.
The rest of the characters added did not have the same connection to the fighting arts. El Fuerte could have been great had Capcom incorporated more elements from actual lucha libre and had taken the cooking gimmicks away from the character. While Rufus does have a good move set, his girth and story betray the intent of the classic world warriors. The moves of Rufus would have been better received on a character that looked like a fighter, rather than a gimmicky 3D model. Oddly Capcom designed C. Viper to appeal to Americans and were shocked to learn that despite her sex appeal we thought Abel was a better design.
Does all this mean that I am against female characters in fighting games or against SNK designs? I am protective of the SF designs because they used to be the most memorable of all the fighting games. KOF, Tekken, Soul Caliber and the other fighters all have their fan base. The design aesthetic for each game helps make it unique. Gamers in general would agree that Street Fighter is the most iconic of the fighting titles and should set the standard. When I feel that the designers and directors of newer SF games are betraying the standard and crossing into rival studio territory then I have to call them on it. If modern fighting game designers think they can get by on cuteness or sex appeal for female fighters then they absolutely missed the point of the woman that started it all.
Chun-Li was never trampy or trashy. Even as a young lady her curves were based more on muscle than soft tissue. The version most gamers remember best was her as a voluptuous ass-kicking woman, not a girl. She never wore dresses that betrayed her Chinese heritage or ever flashed her skin... that was until the Street Fighter IV added a saucy alternate costume. I fear that if Chun-Li were new to the universe today then she would have been a teenage Chinese acrobat of some sort wearing a skimpy costume that would make Cammy blush.
The women and young ladies in Street Fighter were memorable because they represented a fighting art. They were all there to fight and prove themselves. They were not children with awesome psychic powers. The first spy in Street Fighter was Sharon, introduced years before C. Viper. The first mixed martial artist in the series was Blaire Dame. Akido and capoeira were introduced to SF players through strong women characters Hokuto and Elena. Both women could not be mistaken for little girls. The same could not be said for the early Abel concept art. Even when the child Nanase was introduced into SF she was given a Bo staff to keep larger and stronger opponents at bay. This made sense within the universe and respected the established fighters.
What does the future of Street Fighter character design hold? Given the trend of young girls and fanservice then the best days might well be behind them. There is always a chance for redemption with the next game, but I've said too much on the subject already. What do you have to say about it?

Wonderful Vacation Home
November 2, 2014
This was the nicest rental home I have ever stayed in. The photos online do not do it justice. It is beautiful. We loved the game/tv room downstairs, and the video game machine was used one night till 2:30 am. I loved the hot tub. The rooms are spacious and really nice. We had 14 women there for a quilting retreat and the large dining room table with the extra table provided a wonderful sewing area. As we took turns cooking for 14 everyone loved the well stocked large kitchen. I stayed in the master bedroom with a walk in shower plus large tub with jets and after a long day of sewing it was wonderful to use to relax. there is a ping pong table and a bar-b-que for your use, we didn't use them but if my grandchildren were there both would have gotten use. I love that the house sleeps 20 comfortably, that made it really affordable for us in splitting up the rent. The view of the ocean through the beautiful front windows was everyones favorite. Many took the 1 block walk to beach access and enjoyed the beach each morning or evening. The customer service was wonderful and outstanding. All me questions were answered quickly and working with Chrissy and Allen was really fantastic and always availible by phone or email. I have worked with many property management companies and rented many houses for retreats over the last 10 years and Vacation Rentals is the most outstanding and superior compared to others. I plan on renting this house again next spring and fall and I love that I can check the availibility of dates on their wedsite. All I can say is from the beautigul welcome basket of goodies as we entered this home to the cleanlines and beautiful decor we love this vacation rental and diffenitely will rent again. Thank you Vacation Rentals, Chrissy and Allan for a great retreat in a beautiful and wonderful home. Kathryn Hyde and 13 other quilters!

the house worked well for our group. The smell of the bedding in downstairs bedroom closet was the most glaring problem. Don's know if it was mold or what. After calling re Bbq we planned a dinner for using it only to find both propane tanks empty. On the whole enjoyed our stay.Lots of clean linens provided.

The home was nice and close to the beach which was a plus. Overall everything went pretty smooth. We did have some problems with the TV in the basement. We couldn't get the tv to switch to the video games with the instructions on the wall. Also we couldn't get into the hot tub the first day but were impressed at how quickly someone was out to fix that for us. I know that my in-laws would have liked to have had a good mop and broom to clean with and the vacuum didn't seem to work very good. Overall we had a great trip and I would recommend that house to someone else. Thanks so much! Aaron

Great home!
July 25, 2010
We had a great stay at this house. I was surprised by how close it is to the beach. It's right across the street and the view is amazing! The home is very comfortable and kid friendly. We had 6 kids and 5 adults and were very comfortable with room for more. The kitchen is well stocked which was great. The hot tub was really nice and we spent a lot of time playing ping pong out in the garage. The great room upstairs is plenty big for a crowd. A few complaints... the cable was out upstairs which wasn't that big of a deal, just would of been easy for them to fix, the basement smells a little musty, and there was a safety flaw in the window stops upstairs. Our 2 year old was close to taking a nasty fall out the window screen. I'm sure they fixed that right away. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and would return in a heartbeat.
Owner's reply:
ALL FIXED with Direct TV and all is reprogrammed and and and ~ always let me know what we can do to make your stay as safe and wonderful as possible. All windows and doors have safety locks for children now…. Thank you for bringing to our attention.
We hope you'll be back to see us soon.
Thanks! Michele ~ Oregon Beach House Rentals

Great house - great location!
July 18, 2010
Love the house, the decor and the location. The only thing i wish is that the rules about the hottub and some of the other rental rules would be listed in the rental listing. Nobody sits down and reads the book when they first check into a property.

Overall we had a wonderful time in this house. The house had everything you wanted, including the wonderful Hot tub, and the only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5, was due to the beds. We found the bunk beds and the sofa bed little uncomfortable at times.Thank you and I would recommend this house and rent it again myself.

Beautiful place
July 6, 2010
We enjoyed our stay at this rental. It was a beautiful home. The owners tried to be very accommodating. The home was spacious and well planned for a vacation rental, you could have a large group and still have your own space. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. It had plenty of bedrooms and the games room was great for cold rainy days. There is a nice reading area off of the master bedroom. The only disappointment was there wasn't much of a view because of the sand hill directly behind the property. It was still nice to be able to get right onto the beach from the home. It is a good location for driving north and south of Waldport. We were able to enjoy the sand dunes, beach combing, tidepools etc. with a short drive. We found the beach to be great right behind this property and enjoyed walking over to see the seals down at the point of the beach towards town. We also found the prices weren't too bad at the local grocery store.

Can't beat the view
August 18, 2009
The view and location of this house is wonderful! But that's the only reason I gave it two stars. It was very disappointing inside. It clearly had not been well cleaned in quite sometime. The windows, screens, etc. were loaded with dirt and dust. The units smelled of a combination of fish and cat urine, which all tried to be covered with Febreeze or something like that. The kitchens were poorly equiped. It was a good thing our family had all three units, as we had to combine what was available in each kitchen to make one semi-useful kitchen..and that was a stretch. The beds were pretty lousy, the furniture minimal at best...in the downstairs unit people actually sat down on the living room chairs and fell through to the floor because the springs were broken...and we're NOT big people. The deck was the place to be, but when you get cold, foggy damp weather and have to be inside it's not the best...even the deck furniture is minimal...and only on one deck (4 chairs total!)

The house sounds good on paper, but it was extremely disappointing.....although management tried to help us when we complained, the horrific smells throughout the house including old fish smells, a mattress and bedding that smelled of cat urine, and cheap air freshener that offended even the least sensitive, it was close to intolerable.....the furniture was dirty and extremely uncomfortable for the most part, a folding card table was the dining table in the upper unit, and most of the mattresses were old and soft and very hard on the body....even at half the price this would have been disappointing, but at these prices it is a complete rip off.....STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE UNLESS CLEANLINESS AND FURNITURE UPGRADES ARE IN PLACE.....even an air ionizer would have helped.

Stinky, dirty, run-down house
August 18, 2009
What a shocker this was. We expected a lovely beach front property and instead we found the reverse. I stayed in the first floor apartment where the carpets and mattresses stunk of cat urine and dirty bodies. No mattress pads on the bed. The blankets were Goodwill throw-aways - with polyester pilling and cigarette burns. The carpet was rank. We spent a day washing all the linens and blankets, and aired it out for the week, but the smell was overpowering, it actually kept us from sleeping! The first day we arrived, we called for maintenance (we also had no hot water on the 1st floor for the first 18 hours). The guy cleaned some drains, but couldn't so anything about the smell. Mildew growing up the walls in the bathroom, broken furniture in the LR. Really disgusting.

A relaxing getaway
August 10, 2008
This house was a wonderful place for a group gathering. There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep, comfortable beds and everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The front room had a great view of the ocean and beach access was very close and easily accessible.

family reunion
July 23, 2008
We used the house for our reunion. We had 4 families staying in the house together and we had plenty of space and were never in each others way. The kitchen was well stocked and made meal preparation easy for so many people. The house was clean and was very comfortable.
Spacious and immaculate ~
Manager responded quickly and politely.
