Description from owner
If you are a small group or family or are looking for a romantic getaway or a peaceful and tranquil base to return to after exploring all that Malta has to offer this is the perfect location for you.
The apartment occupies the first floor of a waterfront buiding. 2 of the 3 balconies enjoy uninterupted views across the Creek. The 3rd overlooks Triq is Sirena, a street as charming as its name suggests.
There are restaurants to suit all budgets, shops and a supermarket within a 5 minute walk and more shops in the neighbouring "cities" of Bormla and Birgu (also known as Cospicua and Vittoriosa). There are more restaurants on the Vittoriosa waterfront which is a short walk away. A water taxi ride in a typical maltese Dghajsa is a "must do" and you can be picked up from directly outside the apartment building. We can arrange a tour of Grand harbour. Mention that when you enquire about availability and we will advise the cost.
There is a regular bus service

There is a regular bus service from the main square from where you can catch a bus to Valletta and from there to anywhere on the island but again being on the waterfront you can beat the traffic by taking the ferry or a water taxi at very reasonable prices.
Bed linen and towels are supplied. For those staying longer than a week a maid service can be offered at an extra cost. A welcome pack consisting of essential information and provisions for your first few hours will be there when you arrive.
Further details indoors
The apartment consists of a living room, kitchen/diner and 2 bedrooms. The main bedroom has en suite WC and shower and there is a family bathroom. Both bathrooms, like the kitchen, are modern and recently installed. The furnishings are brand new. The apartment was refurbished and furnished in January and February 2012.
Location description from owner
The Island of Malta region
Malta lies just South of the island of Sicily in the Mediteranean sea and enjoys on average 300 days of sunshine a year. It is a popular tourist destination with a rich cultural history and an hospitable population. For such a small island it has a surprisingly large number of interesting places to visit. Not only does it offer spectacular coastal scenery but a great many places of historic interest. Valetta and the 3 cities (one of which is Senglea) are of particular historic significance.
The island is one of the most popular international destinations for scuba divers both for wreck diving and for its beautiful underwater landscapes and sealife. All other water sports are on offer all over the island. There is a golf course nearby.
The cuisine is typically mediteranean and there are a vast number of restaurants, bars and nightclubs for the more nocturnal visitor to enjoy.
The main beaches are in the North West of the island about 20km away. It will take about half an hour to reach Golden Bay so if that is on your itinerary a car is advisable. Car hire on the island is very reasonably priced.
A day trip to Gozo is highly reccomended and there are regular ferries to Gozo from Valetta.
Nowadays Senglea and the 3 cities is tranquil and peaceful and as such the ideal retreat after a day or night of exploration, adventure and entertainment. By contrast its history has witnessed much conflict because of its unique position overlooking the capital Valletta across Grand Harbour. The original observation position above Senglea point is an iconic image in itself and now stands in the very aptly named Safe Haven gardens which is a 5 minute walk away from the apartment.
Two of the most significant events in the history of conflict involving Senglea are the siege of 1565 and its almost complete destruction by arial bombing during world war 2. The impressive city walls, ramparts and bastions which surround the 3 cities are evidence of these less settled times.
Dockland (or Galley) creek which lies between Senglea and Vittoriosa was the Maltese base of the British Navy from 1799 to 1979 and what was once the British Navy bakery on the waterfront of Vittorioa has been converted into a very impressive maritime museum. Other attractions include the Inquisitor's Palace, the Malta at War museum and the Parish Church museum in Vittoriosa.
There are 4 equally impressive churches in the 3 cities 2 of which are in Senglea which hosts 2 main festivals each year on the 31st March and the 8th September. These are spectacular events which ought not to be missed and co-incide with the Regattas in Grand Harbour. Each of the Three Cities also stages its own Easter Festa.

"Superb Waterfront Apartment"
We stayed here during February, and the apartment was really excellent; the pictures on the Holiday Lettings / Trip Advisor website do not do it justice. Beautiful high ceilings and plenty of space. We loved the location and the views, if we hadn't had so many places to visit we could easily have just sat on the balcony all day and watched the world go by. It was very well equipped, and the inclusive welcome pack was ideal for those first few hours when we arrived. Vincent, the owner, was extremely helpful right through the booking process and during our stay. He offered to arrange a traditional boat trip around the Grand Harbour with a local boatman, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Senglea was pretty quiet during the evenings - it was only February - but there are a couple of good restaurants very close by, including the excellent Tully's Food Fusion. Parking is at a premium in this area, but we never had a problem finding a space on the waterfront within easy walking distance. Opinions on the Internet about hiring a car in Malta seem divided, but we were glad that we did, since time was limited and we didn't want to be at the mercy of the bus timetable. Just be aware that the locals display some interesting driving habits! We highly recommend this apartment, and hope to return in the near future.
"Absolutely everything about this apartment and it's location was truly superb"
We stayed in this apartment over New Year and had a thoroughly excellent stay. The apartment itself, the neighbourhood, the fantastic view from the balconies, the local people, the nearby restaurants and bars, the easy access to the historic Three Cities and fantastic Valletta were all superb... I could go on and on... Moreover, Vince and Pam's correspondence before and after our stay was superb, as were their instructions to everything in the flat and how to get there. I really could not fault any aspect whatsoever of either this part of Malta or Vince and Pam's apartment. We will be recommending this apartment to friends and family, and we will be back.
"Property in Senglea, Malta"
Great apartment with excellent views overlooking the creek. It had everything we needed and was only 2 minutes walk from several good restaurants.
"Fantastic apartment with great views"
Excellent apartment with brilliant views over the creek, in a good location in the quiet resort of Senglea (Isla). Good choice of restaurants would especially recommend Enchante, Marina and Slaneys. Within easy walking distance of the ferry to Valetta, the War Museum and Maritime Museum (both highly recommended) in Vittoriosa. Brilliant fortnight in this apartment and will definitely return.
"Absolutely Perfect!"
We had a lovely holiday staying at this very well equipped and spacious apartment. It was everything we had hoped for and more! The views from the balconies, as others have said, are beautiful and it was so relaxing to sit and watch the boats after a busy day exploring Malta. Senglea itself is a charming place to stay - tranquil but with everything you might need virtually on your doorstep. There are numerous small shops for provisions and going into them was rather like stepping back in time. No need for a large supermarket here! The bus service in Malta is very reliable and inexpensive and we used the buses frequently. You can get virtually anywhere in Malta on them. There is so much to see and do here that it's impossible to get bored. We stayed for 10 nights and could quite happily have stayed longer as we enjoyed it so much. Vince the owner is, like the apartment, perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he responded to all queries in super-quick time. Thank you Vince. It is very reassuring when renting an apartment to deal with such a helpful and conscientious owner. You can honestly book this accommodation with complete confidence. We would, of course, unhesitatingly recommend this apartment and would very much love to return ourselves one day.
"A fascinating place for a holiday living among the locals"
Right in the centre of all that is happening in Senglea. The location, layout and design of this spacious apartment make it excellent accommodation to spend a lot of time, rather than just a base for exploring Malta. The balconies offer spectacular views across the creek and down the waterfront. Right outside are many good low cost restuarants, spots for swimming and the ferry to Valletta which is only a couple of euros for a return trip. It's great to step out the front door and be somewhere.
"Flat with a view"
Good base for exploring Malta, easy access to water taxi to Valletta, not a touristy location but enough restaurants/cafes/shops to meet your requirements. It was incredibly hot when we were there, good layout of the flat-central kitchen, good sized bedrooms & lounge. Balconies have great views, Senglea point is just a short walk away. We were visiting family in Marsascala & found the direct bus from cospicua very handy. Welcome pack very useful & Vince very helpful in making arrangements for our visit.
"A beautiful, spacious apartment with great harbour views"
We would highly recommend this rental apartment. It was well equipped, parking nearby and a good location for exploring Malta.
"Comfortable, well appointed accomodation in a wonderful setting"
The apartment had everything we required set in a location with fantastic views of the marina with easy access to all local amenities. Making the arrangements to book and access the apartment were effortless.
"Worth every penny"
This is a lovely apartment with plenty of space with a wonderful water view. We found that the only thing missing for comfort was air conditioning! We found that the fans just didn't give sufficient relief in the apartment especially at night. We were there in September, so the hotter months would probably be worse. The front door locking system took a great deal of patience, but once we found the knack of which ways to turn the key it became a little easier. Also the lighting in the kitchen could be better. Having said all this, Senglia is very peaceful and it was lovely to live and make friends with the locals. We would definitely stay at this apartment again, but in the cooler months. Even though there are some negative points to make, overall the apartment was most comfortable.
Owner's reply: We take on board the comments about the kitchen lighting and the heat issue. We'll be installing under cabinet kitchen lights in time for Spring 2013. There are planning issues in relation to installing the aircon units on the exterior of the aparment building so we'll be installing internal shutters (also in time for next Spring) to reduce the build up of heat during the day which ought to make the evenings cooler and give the fans les work to do.

CHAPTER 2: Impossible
"Mother...died," I said, whispering the impossible. "She actually..."
"Yes, Emma, I've been trying to tell you," said Alexander, a tad bit impatient. "Come see."
But I wasn't ready to face the impossible. Not just yet. I shook my head, meaning to retreat into my room, but Mrs. Angelina Baker, a plump, short woman who ate too much, came up to me and clutched my arm.
"Oh you poor dear! Your father, your brothers, and now your mother!" she murmured.
"My brothers aren't dead yet," I found myself snapping back uncharacteristically. Mrs Baker recoiled, backing away.
"I'm sorry, Emma. A slight mistake."
"No, it's not me," I apologized, but she was already gone. I sighed, climbing up the old creaky steps that led to my cramped bedroom.
I sat on the bed, willing tears to come, but nothing came. After a while, I felt my eyes gingerly. They were dry. No remorse. Nothing. I was a heartless fool.
It was at that that I cried. The tears came freely, streaming down my face like mini-waterfalls, with a huge torrent of water supplying it from above.
"Don't cry, Emma."
Someone had entered my room. I looked up sharply, wiping my eyes dry. "Hi Alexander. Where's your brother?"
Alexander paled. "I'm not sure."
"You've lost your brother? My brother?" I said furiously.
"Emma, calm down. He's in his room, crying."
"You said you lost him?"
"No, I said I'm not sure where he is. I think he's thinking, but his mind truly is somewhere other than here, in this stuffy little house."
"Don't you dare call this house stuffy! It has been our family house for generations!"
"People must move on," Alexander said gravely.
"Who are you to be …" I stopped. "I'm sorry, Alexander, I'm just not me today. Forgive me."
Alexander looked small and pale, so I wrapped him up with my arms. "Let's go see Mother. I'm ready now," I whisper into his shoulder.

Asia's Old Hand
It's rich, it's safe, and excessively clean - the modern day Singapore, created in the image of its founding father Lee Kuan Yew. But the Asian economic meltdown is creating trouble in the lion city. In a region gripped by recession and political unrest, can Lee Kuan Yew resist the pressure for change?
Compere: Tony Jones
Reporter: Tim Lester
Tony Jones:
Margaret Thatcher says "he was never wrong", George Bush calls him "one of this century's truly visionary statesmen".
His critics however, talk of an Asian dictator.
The life and times of Lee Kuan Yew have always divided opinion.
But no-one disputes his instinct for survival or the esteem in which he's held as Asia's longest serving political leader.
The founding leader of modern day Singapore he created one of the region's most successful economies - even in today's tough economic times, per capita income outstrips that of its former colonial master, Great Britain, by $8000.
The downside of the economic miracle though is a lack of democratic freedoms - "what a country only shopping centre with a seat at the United Nations.
Today Singapore's economic record has lost some of its lustre - in recession since mid-1998, the lion city is set for another tough year.

And the emphasis on material rather than cultural pursuits has earned Singapore the jibe of being the

Video Report
By Tim Lester
Singapore Breakfast Radio:
We're giving away $950 in cash...to three different people. The first three people to show up at Raffles.
Tim Lester:
Breakfast radio, in the city seen by many as far too serious about business.
It's April first; reason enough for Joe Augustin and Mark Van-Cuylenburg to base their show and a later street promotion, around Christmas.
Singapore Breakfast Radio:
Basically you have to look like a Christmas tree...
Well, as much as possible. It is April after all.
Tim Lester:
They're as offbeat, as comic duos on radio anywhere, and Singaporeans like it; their show rates highly.
Breakfast Radio:
To Bernard, who just called me, on my handphone, during my shift (raspberry)
Tim Lester:
Class 95 FM seems way out of kilter with Singapore's reputation for the single-minded pursuit of economic success at the expense of free speech.
The Lion City's three million residents are wealthier per head than Australians; their success, remarkable in a tiny nation reliant on one resource: its people.
Mark Van Cuylenburg, Radio Announcer:
I think Singapore is a brilliant place to live. It's safe, it's secure; we lead a very, very good life.
Tim Lester:
But the good life wasn't guaranteed. An economic backwater before independence 40 years ago, Singapore flourished under the far-sighted, energetic, often ruthless leadership of it's founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew
He was so successful, other countries soon looked to the tiny island between the Straits of Malacca and South China Sea, for advice; and they got it.
Lee Kuan Yew (Australia 1966):
Australia must be weaned away from welfare dependency and become self-reliant and competitive.
Dennis Bloodworth, Former London Observer Correspondent & Writer:
He had drive, he had determination, and he wouldn't break the law, but he'd do anything except that.
Tim Lester:
The London Observer's longtime Far East correspondent, Dennis Bloodworth edited Lee Kuan Yew's autobiography.
He remembers South East Asia's elder statesman for an ability to harness the talent of others for Singapore's benefit.
Dennis Bloodworth. Former London Observer Correspondent & Writer:
He turned it into this great city ah which to a very large extent looks after it's people, and in which the people are remarkably prosperous and doing well, thank you very much.
Chee Soon Juan, Free Speech Activist:
This outmoded form of authoritarianism just cannot continue.
Tim Lester:
Chee Soon Juan argues his country's wealth has come at the expense of freedoms seen as fundamental elsewhere in the developed world.
Chee Soon Juan, Free Speech Activist:
Even to talk, to discuss politics, to debate on national issues, you need a license for that and if you don't, um they can charge you and convict you.
Tim Lester:
Anyone who doubts Singapore's fondness for restrictions need only have followed Chee as he addressed National University students on free speech.
The students themselves banned overseas journalists from hearing the free speech address.
Tim Lester:
The students themselves banned overseas journalists from hearing the free speech address.
Tim Lester (to student official):
Who can we talk to? Is there somebody we can say now this is really a bit silly? I mean.
Tim Lester:
They wouldn't even 'speak freely' about the reasons for their action.
Yaw Shin Leong, NUS Democratic Socialist Club:
Q: Why is it necessary to limit the foreign media?
A: No comments about that.
Chee Soon Juan, Free Speech Activist:
This continued restriction of free flow of information I just don't understand.
Tim Lester:
Chee's free-speech campaign has already cost him time in prison, but while calls for change elsewhere in the region are loud and popular, here there are few signs the reformers have significant support.
Benjamin Jeyaretnam, Workers' Party Spokesman & Parliamentarian:
Y'know, if you value your freedom, you've got to be able to pay a price for it, but somehow Singaporeans are not ready to look at it that way.
Tim Lester:
Longtime Lee Kuan Yew critic, 73-year-old Benjamin Jeyaretnam has struck other limitations on his free-expression; namely seven recent defamation suits, including one from Lee Kuan Yew.
The Workers Party MP also argues detention without trial laws have kept alive a culture of fear in Singapore.
Benjamin Jeyaretnam, Workers' Party Spokesman & Parliamentarian:
All this in the name of stability and peace in Singapore.
Q: Then it's worked hasn't it?
A: Well, yes I suppose you can say it has, but at what cost to the human being, individual.
Radio Announcers on air:
It's the morning express; good morning; Joe Augustin and the Flying Dutchman
Tim Lester:
If the Government is heavy handed, local media is not telling anyone about it. Breakfast duos elsewhere might treat politicians as fodder; here they don't make fun of their leaders.
Joe Augustin, Radio Announcer:
We have a political system where the party that is in power tends to do it's own house cleaning. It really doesn't leave anything left for the media to do.
Ass. Prof. Garry Rodan, Murdoch University:
The local media is highly controlled; ah, very unsympathetic to the position of the oppositionists.
Tim Lester:
West Australian political scientist Garry Rodan has made a study of Singapore's success in managing western style economic development without offering western style freedoms.
Ass. Prof. Garry Rodan, Murdoch University:
But there's no law of human history that says political change has to take the form of liberal democracy, and we're on some uni-linear path that only and ultimately has to lead towards liberal political change.
Tim Lester:
It's worked till now, but Singapore faces new and considerable challenges; relations with neighbours, Indonesia and Malaysia, are troubled; Jakarta's instability is particularly worrying, and the region's economic slump has pushed Singapore's long envied growth rates down this year to an expected minus one to one percent.
The city-state has weathered the economic crisis better than it's near neighbours, but not as well as many others. Indeed some of Australia's recent economic results compare well here. It used to be a straight forward argument, but it's no longer as easy to use Singapore's economy as justification for its lack of freedoms.
Chee Soon Juan, Free Speech Activist:
You want economic growth, you can't have democracy. That's something that is totally, totally inaccurate and silly.
Tim Lester:
Economic growth has been important in silencing demands for reform. If the Lion City suffers further from the region's economic and political uncertainty, those calling for change might at last find an audience.

Dear Reader,
If you've been to Cedar Cove before we've probably met. You can usually, find me either at home or at the public library, where I work. I've lived in this town all my life and raised two daughters here. But my husband and I well, about six months ago, he disappeared. Just . . . disappeared. Where's Dan? Why did he go? Who's he with? Will I ever find out?
My hometown, my family and friends, bring me comfort during this difficult time. Comfort and a sense of shelter. I'm continually reminded that life can and does go on. For instance, everyone's been discussing weddings and babies lately. Justine the only daughter of my best friend, Olivia Lockhart impulsively got married a little while ago. My own daughter Kelly recently had, a baby. Unfortunately, she refuses to accept that Dan might not return to see his first grandchild. My older daughter, Maryellen, is more realistic. I think she's seeing a new man, but for some reason she won't tell me who it is.
Then there's Jack, who's been pursuing a romance with Olivia, and his son, Eric, and Eric's girlfriend, Shelly (I think she's pregnant), and Zach and Rosemary Cox, whose marriage is reputedly on the skids and . . . Well, just come on over and we'll talk!

204 Rosewood Lane
By Debbie Macomber
MIRA BooksCopyright © 2002 Debbie Macomber

Grace Sherman stared down at the legal form that would start the divorce proceedings. She sat in the attorney's office with Maryellen, her oldest daughter, who'd come with her to offer support. Grace reminded herself that this should be straightforward, that her decision was made. She was ready to end her marriage, ready to piece together her shattered life. To begin again... But her hand shook as she picked up the pen.
The inescapable fact was that she didn't want this-but Dan hadn't left her with any other option.
Five months ago, in April, her husband of almost thirty-six years had disappeared. Vanished without a trace. One day everything was perfectly normal, and the next he was gone. Apparently by choice and without a word of explanation. Even now, Grace had difficulty believing that the man she'd lived with, the man she'd loved, and with whom she'd had two daughters, could do anything as cruel as this.
If Dan had fallen out of love with her, she could accept that. She would've found enough pride, enough generosity, to release him without bitterness. If he was that miserable in their marriage, she would've gladly set him free to find happiness with someone else. What she couldn't forgive was the misery he'd heaped on their family's shoulders, what he'd done to their daughters. EspeciallyKelly.
Dan had disappeared shortly after Kelly and Paul had announced that after years of trying, they were finally, excitedly, pregnant. Dan had been thrilled, and Grace too. This baby was going to be their first grandchild. They'd waited so long.
Kelly had always been close to her father and his disappearance at this critical time in her life had devastated her. She'd pleaded with Grace to postpone the divorce proceedings, convinced that her father would return before Tyler was born. When Dan did return, he'd have a logical reason and would explain everything to their satisfaction.
He hadn't come back, though, and there'd been no further information. Nothing but doubts, questions, and a churning, deepening anger that intensified in the endless weeks that followed.
When Grace couldn't stand not knowing any longer, she'd hired Roy McAfee, a private detective and former policeman she trusted. Roy had done an extensive search, certain that Dan had left a paper trail, and he'd been right. What Roy had uncovered was a complete shock to Grace. A year earlier, Dan had purchased a travel trailer, paying cash for it. Grace had no idea where he'd gotten that kind of money, nor did she know anything about the trailer. He'd never mentioned it, nor had she seen it. To this day she had no idea where he'd kept it all those months. Or where it was now.
Given the mounting evidence, she had her suspicions. Grace believed that Dan had used the travel trailer to sneak away with another woman. There'd been one sighting of him and it had come late in May.
It almost felt as if her husband had orchestrated this brief reappearance, as if he was taunting her, challenging her to find him. That day had been a low point for Grace.
A co-worker of Dan's had spotted him at the marina and hurried to the library to fetch her. But by the time Grace reached the marina, Dan was gone. A woman had pulled up to the curb and Dan had climbed into the vehicle and driven away, never to be seen or heard from again.
In retrospect, she'd come to believe that Dan was providing her with the answers she so desperately needed. She could think of no other reason he would mysteriously arrive at the busiest place in town, where he was most likely to be seen-and recognized. The library where she worked was less than two blocks away. Clearly, her husband lacked the courage to tell her there was someone else. Instead he'd chosen another, crueler way to inform her; he'd humiliated her in front of the entire community. Grace knew without being told that everyone in Cedar Cove pitied her.
That sighting had settled the matter in Grace's mind. Whatever love she still felt for Dan died that afternoon. Until then, she hadn't wanted to believe there was someone else. Even when the VISA bill showed up with a hefty charge from a local jeweler, Grace had refused to accept that her husband was involved with another woman. Dan just wasn't the kind of man who would be unfaithful to her. She'd trusted him. Not anymore.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Maryellen asked, touching her arm.
Grace's hand tightened around the pen. "Fine," she snapped, instantly regretting her tone. She hadn't meant to sound so sharp.
Her daughter looked away. Grace focused on the divorce papers, hesitated a moment longer and then with haste signed her name.
"I'll see that this is filed immediately," Mark Spellman said.
Grace relaxed, leaning back in her chair. This was all there was to it? You could end a thirty-five-year marriage simply by signing your name? "That's it?"
"Yes. Since you haven't heard from Daniel in five months, I don't foresee any legal complications. The divorce should be final in a few weeks."
Almost four decades tossed out the window like so much garbage. The good years, the bad years, the lean ones, the years they'd scrimped and saved. Like all couples, they'd had their share of problems, but despite everything they'd held their marriage together. Until now, until this-
"Mom?" Maryellen whispered. Grace nodded abruptly, surprised at the emotion that choked her. She'd shed all the tears she intended to. In the months since Dan's disappearance, Grace had deeply grieved the loss of her marriage and the man she thought she knew. The truth of it was, she no longer had a choice; divorce had become inevitable. It was essential that she protect her financial interests. According to the attorney, she couldn't afford the luxury of doing nothing.
Her legal situation was one thing, and she'd dealt with that, but the emotional impact had left her badly shaken. Despite her resolve, the grief hadn't diminished. And the humiliation of what Dan had done was with her constantly. Everyone in town was aware of her circumstances and the fact that her husband had walked out on her.
Slowly, Grace set the pen aside. "I'll wait to hear from you, then," she said to her attorney, rising out of the chair. Maryellen stood with her.
The attorney, a young man closer to Maryellen's age than her own, escorted them to the office door. He began to say something, then merely looked down and murmured a brief goodbye.
Outside his small home office, the sky had turned a depressing leaden gray. Grace felt a burden of sadness settle over her; she'd known this appointment wasn't going to be easy, but she hadn't expected it to exact such a toll on her self-confidence.

I enjoyedthe book but felt not satisfied at the end . The ending left me wanting more. I definitely wanted to read the next book inthe series because the story was not finished.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Great plot, good writing and a story that will make you want to read more.
This is book two in Debbie Macomber's Cedar Grove series that is being made into a Hallmark TV series beginning on June 1, with a full length movie. This small town in Washington was first introduced in "16 Lighthouse Road" , where, Olivia, a family court judge lives. "204 Rosewood Lane" is the home of Olivia's best friend, Grace. In this book, Grace has finally decided to divorce her husband, who just walked out of their lives a year ago. No one knows where her husband is, or why he just walked out on his whole family. There are numerous "neighbors" and friends , who all interact with each other as friends, relatives, and townspeople share their lives with the reader in this series. We learn more about Olivia and Grace, plus numerous other folks. Births, deaths, squabbles, and interpersonal relationships definitely keep the reader involved in these character'l lives. Like getting a good friend's letter from home, I wanted to read and read to see how people coped, and found their joys and blessings in Cedar Grove.
The Cedar Cove sreies goes from being a family to divorce - romance- and back to family it has it all. The frenidship that is in these book is like the naborhood that you live in eveyday. I like the audio books I listen to them in my car as I drive it is much better then the radio.
In Cedar Cove, Dan and Grace Sherman seemed like the perfect married couple having shared thirty-six years together. However, Dan vanished leaving behind Grace and their two daughters with one of them pregnant, all wondering and worrying about him. Grace hired a private detective and the evidence he provided her led her to believe he ran off with another woman. Five months later, over the objection of her youngest daughter Kelly, who still believes her daddy will come home to see his recently born grandson, Grace files for divorce. Her other adult child Maryellen supports her mother though her father¿s sudden departure adds credence to her belief that men leave. Still romance, marriage, divorce, and babies fill the community with sadness and joy as life goes on. 204 ROSEWOOD LANE, the second Cedar Cove tale (see 16 LIGHTHOUSE ROAD) is an engaging look at small-town USA by one of the top authors of the genre. The story line provides insight into several townsfolk and not just the Sherman females. Dan¿s mysterious disappearance, which is mentioned in the first novel, is solved. Though that added some suspense, but not as much as the audience anticipated, as the novel is a relationship cozy not an action mystery. Genre readers will want to visit Debbie Macomber¿s second trip to Cedar Cove. Harriet Klausner
Granted, I started reading the series on #2 but i kept confusing them up with each other. The switching back and forth from story to story was confusing. I will try to read #1 first and then reread this book. Then i will re-evaluate. The only reason why i kept reading was to see the stories of Maryellen and Olivia play out.
Loved reading this one, but is there a sequal? If not, it is very dissapounting due to the ending,
Book was just ok Hard to keep track of who was who while reading and I expect author knew this thus put the character guide on first page. Also ending was abrupt.
I am so enjoying reading this series. I find myself vested in the character's lives and can't wait to find out what will happen next. I cannot wait to get the rest of the books and continue reading.
Macomber picks up this story we began in 16 Lighthouse Rd without missing a beat while at the same time giving more than enough background information for new readers to pick up the series here. Her warm & inviting writing style pulls you in so easily that you're instantly transported into the pages of this novel. This is a sweet, uplifting, & romantic novel while remaining real & down to earth. This novel covers a large span of time in a very unique and easy to follow manner. That said, there were definitely some plot twists that took me by surprise. It was fantastic and made me laugh & cry more than a time or two. I really appreciated Macomber's approach that allowed me to experience the lives of her characters in a real way. I also loved the fact that this novel didn't end in a spur of the moment marriage. It ended with something much better: hope. I loved the number of intertwining stories in Cedar Cove. I felt like I was getting to know the whole town without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. Macomber has reached the perfect balance here. Characters of all ages make up the cast of this novel. Some are just starting life, some are stepping out on their own, and others have more than a little life experience under their belts. It is the perfect melding of characters to bring Cedar Cove to life. Macomber has penned a novel that will be loved by all fans of small town romances. It was an unforgettable story that I was unable to put down. P.S. Before I'm done, I have to comment on the back cover blurb. It's the ultimate invitation to come to Cedar Cove. Macomber definitely delivers on her invitation inside the pages of this novel.
Once again Debbie Macomber brings us to that wonderful place, Cedar Cove. You are happy to share the goings on in the town, and the people who live there. The book in touching, interesting, and you just don't want to put it down.
Great book and series. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Recommend Very Highly!!
Cedar Cove series is highly addicting I can't wait to read the next book!
Have enjoyed reading all of the Cedar Cove books!!!

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland surprised most observers (including us) when he left the state's education voucher program intact in his biennial budget proposal. The Educational Choice Scholarship is available to up to 14,000 students assigned to chronically underperforming public schools. Two years ago he sought to eliminate the program altogether; this time he attached some strings to the voucher dollars. Under his proposal, any school that enrolls a voucher student would be required to administer state achievement tests to all of its students, including those children whose parents pay out-of-pocket for their education. 279 private schools enrolled voucher students this school year. It remains to be seen how many of these schools would comply with the testing requirement and how many would abandon the program instead--a fate especially likely for the 94 schools that enroll fewer than ten voucher students apiece. The Buckeye State's teacher unions, some of Strickland's strongest supporters, have voiced support for extending testing mandates to private schools. They're sure to be singing a different tune, however, if the private schools start trouncing districts on the state's tests and use those test scores to lure more students away from public schools....
The latest Education Next is out, and its cover story is an excellent piece by Richard Lee Colvin previewing the Obama education agenda and contemplating the Democratic Party's schism over school policy. Here's the key argument:
Widespread agreement that only a massive stimulus package could rescue the U.S. economy presented the new administration with the opportunity to placate both sides of the Democratic divide. The unions and their allies would get a massive infusion of federal funds into the schools that would help offset state and local budget cuts. And this would give Obama cover to push for tougher reforms down the road.
The question is: how far down the road? Perhaps tonight's speech will provide an indication.
Ken Kay, the head of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, is here to defend himself.
He says that most of what we're doing in education is subject-matter focused. Most of the assessments are subject-matter focused. But we aren't producing enough students with critical thinking skills. So clearly subject-matter is not enough.
"We can't have a false choice between skills and content," he says.
"We are the content and skills movement," Kay said. "We are not the skills movement."
"From the very beginning," Kay said, "when we started our work, we were not just interested in the workforce but also civic engagement." He met with "stakeholders" in the non-for-profit and civic engagement world. And these stakeholders mentioned all sorts of skills (communication, global awareness, etc.) that citizens need in order to be fully involved in democracy.
"Our students are not doing as well on PISA because there's more critical thinking...on that exam."
"I hope that we will leave this meeting having embraced the common ground. Content is important. Skills are important. A liberal arts education is important."
Dan Willingham is a cognitive scientist, and takes P21 apart step by step.
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills assumes, he says, that first, knowledge and skills are separate. But research shows that not to be true.
Second, P21 assumes that teachers do not have cognitive limits. But, of course, they cannot attend to everything. That's why they aren't embracing problem-based learning, cooperative learning, and small group instruction. These are really, really hard to do well. Maybe even impossible.
Now we're looking for a little red circle on a screen. (OK, you kinda gotta be here for that one...)
The reason that seatwork and whole-class instruction is preferred by teachers is that they can easily tell if their students are paying attention. Small group instruction makes that virtually impossible.
Willingham's bottom line: Teachers like the methods that P-21 is advancing, but they are really hard to implement well. There's a reason that they've been told to teach projects for a century and they haven't done it much.
Don??Hirsch, founder of Core Knowledge and author of Cultural Literacy, says that students do, indeed, need these "21st Century Skills." But, he's arguing, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills is deeply misguided in its understanding of how students can develop these skills.
"The error at the heart of P21 is the idea that skills are all-purpose muscles that, once developed, can be applied to new and unforeseen domains of experience," he said. That's just not true.
So how do people actually acquire these skills???According to Hirsch, and his reading of??the research, they have??domain knowledge in a wide range of domains. In other words, the "real basis" of 21st century skills is "wide-ranging knowledge."
Now Hirsch is discussing the Armed Forces Qualifying Test. He took it himself a few weeks ago, and later got a call from a Navy recruiter, who was disappointed to learn that he's 80 years old! To do well on the test, which is related to "21st century skills," test-takers need to know a lot of stuff. They need wide-ranging knowledge.
"Skill is knowledge. There is no shortcut."...
Diane Ravitch, an historian of education, is carefully deconstructing the "21st Century Skills" movement by demonstrating that its key ideas are direct descendants of loopy nostrums from the past 100 years. "The cause that animated schools of education throughout the 20th century??was the search for the one discovery that would unshackle schools from teaching content," she said.
She's recounting the "life adjustment movement," the "outcomes-based education movement," "SCANS,"??and on and on. They were all precursors to "21st Century Skills."
Schools of education "have paid precious little attention to the disciplinary knowledge that young people need to make sense of??the world," Ravitch said.
"We have ignored what matters most. One cannot think critically unless one has quite a lot of knowledge to think about."
"The educated person learns not only from his or?? her own experience, but from the hard-earned experience of others. We do not restart the world anew in each generation."
And now, over to Don Hirsch.
Greetings from Fordham's 7th Floor conference room, which is jam-packed with a standing-room-only crowd to hear a debate about the "21st Century Skills" movement, staged by Common Core. Here's the line-up:
Diane Ravitch, Research Professor of Education, New York University
E. D. Hirsch, Jr., Founder and Chairman, Core Knowledge Foundation
Daniel Willingham, Professor of Psychology, University of Virginia
Ken Kay, President, Partnership for 21st Century Skills
Antonia Cortese, Secretary-Treasurer, American Federation of Teachers
Imagine, you have been laid off and you can't find another job earning anywhere close to what you were making. Your savings have been decimated by the disaster on Wall Street. You may be renting now that you lost your home. Maybe your pension is a lot less, too.
That's an all-too-familiar scenario already. Then you tune into the nightly news and there is your state's governor very patiently explaining why taxes are going to have to go up--a lot--so that taxpayers can guarantee the pensions for tens of thousands of teachers in your state. That's right, teacher pension plans are losing tens of billions (for all state pensions, it's even more). If the public teacher funds go broke, taxpayers are on the hook to make up the difference to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.????
That prospect looks increasingly likely in the coming years and it was the focus of a recent conference at Vanderbilt University. That conference, in turn, was sparked by a 2007 Fordham Institute report outlining the dangers faced by the state teacher pension fund in Ohio. The unfunded liability of the Ohio pension fund was nearly $20...
Eduwonk may have a (nationally-known) ???rename NCLB??? contest, but we've got something even more interactive: the Fix that Failing School video game! This is particularly cathartic (or, alternatively, maddening) for principals of schools ???in need of improvement??? under No Child Left Behind. Don't worry about boosting those test scores--just put the whole school on a flatbed trailer and move it to Wisconsin! And presto, you're A-OK! (Of course, you'll still have six more weeks of winter.)...
Do you wait anxiously for another Obama Reform-o-meter???Do you refresh the Flypaper homepage repeatedly or check your RSS feed hourly wanting to see how the Administration is doing? Well your prayers are answered: Obama Reform-o-meters 24-7. If you would direct your attention to the right hand sidebar, you'll notice two mini Reform-o-meters. Don't worry, we'll still be posting regular Reform-o-meter ratings of noteworthy decisions, events, or new appointees but now you can come back to the Flypaper homepage day or night to check how the Administration is doing. Here's how they work:
The top one is the most recent reading (in this case, the stimulus). Click on it and you'll be directed back to Mike's analysis of why said policy decision scored the way it did. It will be updated anytime the Administration does something worth rating.
The bottom one documents the cumulative reform rankings--i.e. the Administration's average reform-ness. This will be updated each morning. We don't anticipate seeing a lot of movement on this front but you can rest assured it will always be up to date.

UserLock enables IT teams to reduce their Windows network attack surface by restricting users logon to specific workstations, devices, IP range, department, floor or Organizational Unit.
Being able to restrict a user to being able to logon from only specific computers and devices helps implement and enforce any efficient access security policy for an organization. It reduces the number of computers or devices on which an account can be attacked or exploited, in the event of any users' credentials being compromised.
Native Windows control does provide logon workstation restriction on a user-by-user basis but there is no way to do this by group for multiple users. It requires restrictions to be configured on each individual computer or device. UserLock allows restrictions to be centrally set for an entire group; saving time and helping IT teams implement effective and manageable login controls.
Required for any information system to comply with major regulatory constraints, UserLock applies this access rule to secure user access to the Windows Active Directory domain and help organizations get compliant.

What are five resons to keep lovers apart in "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Since you are referring to a play by William Shakespeare, I will address this question based on that time period. In Shakespearean times, some reasons could be as follows:
1. Difference of social class
2. Lack of parental permission
3. Marriages had already been arranged
4. Same sex couples were not appropriate at this time
5. Family dispuits (i.e. Romeo and Juliet)
6. Difference ethnicities
7. One or both parties is already in a relationship (adultery)

By introducing public toilets that are accessible for all disabled people, Martin Jackaman transformed the lives of severely disabled people not just in Nottingham, where he works as the city council's day service modernisation manager, but across the UK.
He introduced the first Changing Places toilet in the city in 2006. It was designed for people who need a hoist to get on the toilet seat or extra space in order to have continence pads changed. Until then, traditional disabled toilets were designed only with wheelchair users in mind.
Following the success of the new toilet, with its changing bench and hoist, Jackaman was recruited by the government on to a national steering group to get similar toilets established around the UK. There are now more than 40 around towns and cities in England, Wales and Scotland, and a further 10 are planned.
Jackaman's vision and determination to improve services and remove barriers for disabled people won him a top prize at last year's Guardian Public Services Awards, when he was voted public servant of the year. Other awards went to inspirational teams drawn from the NHS, charities, town halls and a Whitehall department.
A groundbreaking scheme in Croydon, south London, that cares for older people in their own home as if they were in hospital was the overall winner. All the winners demonstrated how they were shaping services around the needs and preferences of the individual, whether they were offering sexual health check-ups for students or a crisis service centre for people in acute mental distress.
The awards, run in partnership with Hays Specialist Recruitment, are now in their fifth year and have proved a powerful means of boosting morale, profile and recruitment for the winners, as well as fostering excellence across public services.
The Guardian today invites entries to the 2008 awards, which seek to highlight the innovation and achievements of people delivering personalised public services - from Whitehall departments to social enterprises, and from council teams and NHS trusts to private companies providing training and employment.
Winning an award can give your organisation a national voice, open the doors to more partnerships, attract additional funding, and enable you to demonstrate to commissioners the impact of your successful work.
The 12 team awards are divided into two main sections: service delivery, and innovation and progress. These sections reward teams working in areas ranging from children and young people to housing and regeneration, and diversity and equality. A new category this year is people management.
All categories are open to teams working in the private and statutory sectors, and in voluntary and community groups, to deliver public services. The work or project can be any size. The awards are not assessing the scale of success but the approach taken. There is also a special award for citizenship and volunteering, open to organisations that are not delivering public services but which enable their employees to have time to do good in the community.
There is a special award for public servant of the year, in recognition that sometimes it is the contribution of an outstanding individual - such as Jackaman - that makes the vital difference.
An overall winner will be chosen from the award category winners. The judges last year chose the virtual wards scheme in Croydon as overall winner because it demonstrated a "real breakthrough that holds out the prospect of positive and lasting changes in health and social care".
All the entries will be examined by a panel of judges, chaired by David Brindle, the Guardian's public services editor. Winners will honoured at an awards ceremony in central London in November.

The Bulldogs competed without pressing the issue, they shared the ball, and they rolled. Scoring inside and out, defending with purpose and rediscovering that cohesion, Folsom belted Cosumnes Oaks 68-51 at Sleep Train Arena in an anticipated rematch.

Guilford Students Push for Fee Increase
April 10, 2012
Students at Guilford College are pushing for a fee increase ($100 over two years) at a time when many college students are objecting to such increases. The News-Record reported that students want the increase to increase the student aid budget. The move comes as Guilford (along with other private colleges in North Carolina) face a loss of state funds for aid for North Carolina students. The college's board will vote on the proposal in June. Kent Chabotar, president of the college, said that he was surprised by the proposal. "The last thing you'd think would be that they'd want to increase the fees even more on their own authority." But he added that push to help fellow students was "a classic Guilford move."

To be fair, I didn't actually hate The Friday The 13th Remake (review here), it had some fun moments, but it just wasn't up to snuff, even for a weak sequel... They really didn't even bother putting any real effort into this NIGHTMARE. It largely felt lazy and rushed together. And nary a boob shot to be found. What the what?! I understand a remake has to play the line between recalling an earlier film and trying to do something different with it, but, try a little harder please. Try SOMETHING!
There's a lot of copping of visuals from films throughout the series, but there's also some horrendous acting, truly weak storytelling and the single worst use of CGI I've seen in a film ever! Remember that scene where Freddy pokes through Nancy's wall above her bed? It's done here in the most shockingly bad use of CGI. I was kind of taken aback. Shame since the original film had done it so cleverly.
All I remembered about the chick who played Nancy was that I found it odd she wore a knit hat while she sat at home and painted. I like Clancy Brown and all, but dude was totally underused. And then there's the sandman himself... Freddy Krueger. Jackie Earle Hayley put his best foot forward into the role, but sadly he just didn't come off all that menacing when he wasn't putting his claws through someone. They often resort to speeding his image up into the frame to make him seem scary. It's kind of sad, actually.
The film according to the current box office report is a success in it's first weekend. It opened on par with some of the more popular horror remakes, though a bit less than last year's Jason picture. Surely a sequel to the remake is to come, and I'm hoping they'll find a filmmaker who can inject some life into the picture. Pardon the pun, but, Samuel Bayer's film came off very much like a hack work. A sequel made by someone who can really explore Freddy's landscape is very much needed here. As it stands I'd even take FRIDAY's Marcus Nisepl and his unsubtle style over this one, any day.
A Nightmare On Elm Street at least got me back to the drive-in. The drive is so beautiful up on the Hudson. And gosh do I really love the drive-in atmosphere. The best thing this Nightmare movie could ever bring forth.
