Hey Everyone!
If your like me, the chore of maintaining the finances for your apartment has been thrust upon you. This creates grief when some sort of paper-trail is not kept. Sometimes roommates can't remember (or try to get out of paying) bills. Due to a lack of SQL on my box and the simple nature of the app I decided I would use an XML file.
Features I would like to add Encryption of the XML file to avoid editing Web interface to allow users to view there bills via a hosted site Scan/import pictures to allow for checks and the like to be inputed for ref.

Reeeeealy short one but I liked how it turned out so I decided to post it...at 3:16 am...ooohhh boy. This is one of those moments where the last time I looked down at the time it was 7:00pm and then i started writing...and yeah, its a good thing tomorrow is Friday- er that today is Friday, Whatever I'm going to stop rambling now.
Mistress Slytherin
MALE/MALE relationship
Not my charachters
Sometimes, I feel fragile.
When I sit here alone like this- in these brief moments that I am totally alone…I feel like I'll break into a million pieces.
They'd all laugh at me I know.
Tom, the red eyed man who comes to visit me sometimes and the others who hide their faces and bodies behind cloaks and white masks- they would laugh if I just decided to shatter one of these days. When Tom visits me it feels like he's playing a game that I don't understand, he says things and then laughs when I tell him I don't understand.
Who am I?
Who was I?
So many things that I do not know.
All that I do know is that what ever I did to deserve this fate was truly terrible. Every once in a while Tom will entertain himself by telling me stories of terrible deeds I might have done just to amuse himself. He dangles me by a chain of curiosity and then leaves me here in this cage just as befuddled and confused as when I was first left in this abysmal place. This cage masquerading as a mansion. Tom says one thing however that rings true- I did something horrible and my memory was wiped clean because of it. A small thudding sound drags me from my thoughts and I smile softly at the man sitting across from me and reach to lift the fallen book. I must have missed his return- the fire is growing dim in the grate as well. How long have I been lost in thought?
The day I was put in this place he was assigned as my caretaker, I don't know why, some private twisted joke of Toms' most likely. The man doesn't speak much because he was wounded some time ago and the long ragged scars around his neck stretch painfully if he talks too much, but he is the only companionship I have, and he almost never leaves my side. Sometimes it is painful to look at him though because he gazes at me with haunted pained eyes, sometimes he looks as if he hates me. But when ever Tom comes he makes an offer, me or the man, and always, always the man steps forward. He bleeds for me, screams for me, hates me and protects me, and yet I have no idea why. Oh, he tries to step forwards, but always the man insists that Tom take him, which amuses Tom ever so much. Gently I prod the man shaking his shoulder gently only to gasp when a long fingered hand wraps around my wrist and pulls me forward leaving me a stumbling heap in his lap. Wide, dark eyes gaze down at me in terror and I find it impossible to hold that gaze.
It's all my fault and I know it, even if I don't know the whys and how's of what happened, or in fact of what happened at all. "You'll catch a cold if you sleep here." I say quietly. The fine trembling in the hand wrapped around my wrist fades after a moment. He hates it when I talk, so I don't unless it's necessary, like now. He hates me. I don't know why, but he does, which is why I don't stop him when he pulls me close and pulls my shirt from me. Tom says that the man was once brilliant, but the accident that caused the tearing in his throat also took part of his mind because the poison couldn't be flushed out of his system quickly enough. I suppose that's why he calls me Lily when he touches me.
But oh I do so enjoy it…
I am ashamed to admit it, after all the man is filled with bitter sweet contradictions, but he plays my body so well. The right caress has me begging for him and he simply adores taking his time, as if its some secret cruel torture that he wants to put us both through. I gasp when he bites into my neck laving it with a clever tongue while roughened lips whisper across the sensitized area. Already I feel his fingers sliding past the waist band of my pants. It appears that tonight he is eager. I give in to him easily; give in to the mindless pleasure as sure fingers enter me in a parody of gentleness. He is not a gentle lover; he loves it when I scream almost as much as Tom does. I gasp tossing my head back when the blunt tip of a finger brushes something inside of me and sparks of electricity race through me.
And then he's lifting me.
He's pressing into me with a swift brutal thrust and I am left clinging to him as I fight against the resulting pain. He hasn't wanted this for a while after all, I am tight around him. He groans but does not give me time to adjust, instead he pushes forward stroke after long aching stroke his skin slapping against mine with a lewd sound. His movements are jerky and he only touches me more than necessary but I know that it won't last for long. Even as I think it he deepens and slows his strokes his hands trailing over my skin in that slightly worshiping way that they sometimes do. I hate this, and yet at the same time I love it, love him. Because even while I know he's thinking about Lily now- he's touching me as if he loves me. Hands sooth me and tease me a hot mouth following and as always the tender caresses force my cresting point. Tears slip down both our faces as it hits us a bitter terrible and yet blissful moment torn from us by forces beyond our control.
And there it is.
I stare blankly at the ceiling as he weeps brokenly into my chest and I know that I will never have him. I will never know this desperate love that my dark haired man holds for his dear Lily. It will never be mine just like freedom will never be mine and the answers I seek will never be mine. I feel sick when he pulls out and lays me on the now cold hearth his eyes unseeing, as if he were simply tossing an unneeded pillow to the side. I watch his retreating back and wait for the chill to dry the stray tear that slips from my eye before staring into the grate.
Sometimes I feel that I will shatter.
I do.

The Spectrum of β-Thalassemia Mutations in the Arab Populations
Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon
Copyright © 2001 Hindawi Publishing Corporation. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
The Arab countries encompass a wide region stretching from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean. The Arab population is quite heterogeneous and has experienced various invasions and migrations throughout history. β-thalassemia is endemic in all countries of the Arab world. Our review of the molecular basis of β-thalassemia in various Arab countries reveals the presence of 52 mutations, which are mostly of Mediterranean and Asian origin. The distribution of mutations reflects the geographical and historical backgrounds of each region. However, no specific mutation is confined to the Arabs, although some Arab countries do have unique mutations.

The Timekeeper
She spread her wings, black feathers covering the white ones so as to hide them in the night, stopping her free-fall swan dive moments before hitting the ground. She hovered for a moment, preparing to land. She sensed it first, that instinct that something was wrong, that she was in danger. She rolled in the air, and not a moment too soon, for she actually felt the wind the arrow made as it whizzed past her, through the spot she had been hovering only moments before. Immediately her aura flared, the air around her burning with her rage. How dare he attack her so close to her home base! She drew her diamond sword as a clap of thunder sounded, not far off. "Lucent!" she shouted to the night around her.
"Is that your best counterattack, shouting my name?" The voice came calmly out of the darkness.
"If you make a witty comeback like that one, at least I know your location."
"True, very true. But that matters not. I had already given away the direction by sending the arrow your way. The only thing that matters now is that object on the ground between us."
"The Timekeeper is not for sale. Sorry. Try the general store in that town to the east. They may have some."
"Oh, so funny. I believe however, that this particular one is...a one of a kind. Besides, I don't plan on buying, just taking it."
"And how, may I ask, are you going to do that with me standing here?"
"Kill you, of course."
"I'd like to see you try."
"You just might get your chance."
"What are you waiting for? Open target, right here."
"You have a sword ready, in case you forgot."
"Okay, not-so-open target. Good luck!"
And the sword fight began.

I have started serving my Salad Nicoise vegetarian style and grilling a tuna steak (or sirloin steak) to serve on the side. Then guests can help them selves. That way everyone is happy and it still looks gorgeous. I marinate the tuna steak (or sirloin) (about 1 1/2 lbs/750g and 1"/ 2.5cm) thick in 3 tbsp/45mL extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp/15mL each of salt and fresh thyme leaves and 1/2 tsp/2mL pepper. Grill 2 minutes per side (5 minutes per side for the sirloin for rare) exactly on a very hot grill. Cool and slice thinly. (It should be rare.) For this salad we used the freshest beans from Dely's garden and Cookstown Greens heirloom colourful carrots. Serve on a hand made Don Stinson wooden platter (from Tamworth, Ontario) and it will look even more amazing.
Makes 8 servings

Desmond ---- Had Rocky Marciano fought against Muhammad Ali.--- I still stand by with my previous points which I typed up to you awhile back on this thread. Stating that Rocky would have beaten Muhammad.
Had Joe Louis been in his professional boxing prime. Had Joe fought against a prime Rocky Marciano.--- I still stand by with saying that Rocky would have still beaten Joe.
Here are a few other reasons as to why.--- Rockys IMMENSE punching power.----
Rockys fight against Lee Savold.--- Rocky BROKE Lees forearm.
Rockys fight against Roland LaStarza.--- Rocky SMASHED Roland. After this fight, Roland had to be rushed immediately into surgery. Because Rolands veins on his arms needed to be reconnected.
Rockys fight against Bernie Reynolds.---- In this fight, Rocky struck Bernie so VERY hard. That Bernie floated far enough that the back of his head & his heels touched the canvas at the same, exact time.
This link here shows.--- That had Muhammad Ali fought against Rocky Marciano.---
That Rocky would have given Muhammad A LOT of trouble.----

#3540 Apr 28, 2013
Desmond --- Had Joe Jouis been in his professional boxing prime. Had Joe fought a prime Rocky Marciano at this time.--- I still stand by all of my previous points which I listed. In regards to Rocky still winning.
Especially in regards to what Joe Louis PERSONALLY said. About Rocky Marciano. AFTER they fought.---
Joe Louis stated this.---- "He had a hidden secret in his career. That he didn't like being crowded. That he felt that even in his prime, that he couldn't have won against Rocky Marciano".
Joe also stated.--- "That all of the fighters which he was matched against, that Rocky would have won".
Joe stated.--- "Marciano was tough enough to beat anyone. He doesn't fight by the book, but he hit me with a whole library of bone crushers. This kid punches hard. I can still feel the body punches he hit me with. I had a bad weakness. I hated to be crowded. That was Marcianos thing".
So, Joe Louis himself stated.--- That even if he was in his prime.----- That Rocky Marciano still would have beaten him.

White, Black, just about every person making a comment on this thread are a bunch of pathetic simple minded dunbazzes. I am a white male married to a black lady, vary happily I must say, for the last 22 years now. Both shades of people have more than their share of stupidity and it seems to be getting worse. We live in Davis CA. we usually take a long walk on the weekends and sit in the park and people watch. over the years we have come to realize that one thing is blatantly true. It is amazing how both colors have integrated the others culture into their lives but are to dumb to realize it. I feel bad for all you hypocrites, imagine what this country could accomplish if you all could spend less time hating each other and more time working together. I guess its just easier for the simple minded to take the easy way out and live with hate than work together and make here on this rock a better place. You all are pathetic and week and should hate yourselves for allowing this to go on.

Granted, there are some Eastern Europeans who do have some Asiatic admixture. But, this goes way, way, way back.
Most of all, how do Eastern Europeans classify according to "race".--- As White.
Americans, who have ancestral roots from Eastern European nations.--- How do they classify according to "race" with the United States federal government census?--- As White.
How Americans classify according to race with the United States federal government census is what matters.

Married to a black lady. Damn. Don't know how you do it bud. I have nothing against black, but having sex with one, and marrying one? Damn.
I dont think my little weiner would even lift for a black woman. Not consciously racist though.
#3544 Apr 28, 2013
Some Eastern Europeans are.
Eastern Europeans who are mixed with Gypsies, how do they classify according to "race"?---- As White.
Eastern Europeans who are mixed with Jews, how do they classify according to race?---- As White.
Clearly, there are black Jews. These would probably be the most notable black Jews. Some of them are now deceased. But, most of them are still alive.----
Sammy Davis Jr., Whoopi Goldberg, Lisa Bonet, David Blumenthal, Nell Carter, Drake, Goapele, Meagan Good, Lani Guinier, Kidada Jones, Rashida Jones, Zab Judah, Jamaica Kincaid, Boris Kodjoe, Yaphet Kotto, Lenny Kravitz, Lauren London, Saoul Mamby, Rain Pryor, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rovetta, Maya Rudolf & Shyne.
There are also the Ethiopian Jews. The Beta Israel (Aka --- The Falashas).
Clearly, there are black Jews.
But, most Jews (The VERY vast majority of Jews at this) are White.
#3545 Apr 28, 2013
yon, thanks. Likewise.
Well, the truckers are organized. But, they have never attempted any such actions.
There would be VERY serious consquences for them.
Because, the mass trucking industry throughout the United States is so VERY critical to this nations economy.
The mass trucking industry throughout the United States is so VERY critical to the entire infrastructure of this nation.
#3546 Apr 28, 2013
Even if the truckers would ever attempt any such action.--- The United States federal government would NEVER stand for it.
An example.---- Going back to 1981.--- When the former Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) union carried out their strike.
The United States federal government took VERY severe action against this union.
The trucking industry is way more critical for the United States economic well being.
The trucking industry is way more critical for this nations economic infrastructure.
So, there is absolutely NO way that the United States federal government would EVER tolerate any such actions by the truckers.
If the truckers would ever attempt any such actions.---- There would be VERY severe consequences for them.
#3547 Apr 28, 2013
Thanks for the link.
yon, I just checked out your 2 previous video links which you wanted me to look over on that other thread. The one about Ben Kinchlow. The other video link titled the "The Civilized Savage".
Both of those links contained some good information.
I have to step out now. I'll definitely respond back to your previous posts which you addressed to me about the Chicago Cubs. Your posts about professional football. By around Tuesday. Either way, I'll definitely get back to you.
In the meantime, later.
#3549 Jun 13, 2013
sid, your 4 statements above.---- I totally see your points.
I truly wish you & your African American wife the very best which life has to offer.
But (With all due respect), in the United States, group dynamics trumps individuality.
For instance, Whites & African Americans do get along at universities, bars, nightclubs, sporting events, concerts, work, etc.. This is a good thing.
But, race relations in the United States entails WAY more than individual friendships & acquaintances. Race relations in this nation entails way more than individuals personal dealings & interactions with others.
Race relations also entails group dynamics, racial dynamics & racial politics. THIS is where the problems & divisions come into play.
In addition, class & ideology also factor into the mix.
#3550 Jun 13, 2013
Yep. Big time.
Regarding the United States group dynamics, racial dynamics & racial politics.---
In this nation, which groups have the largest degree of division & polarization?-----
African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) & White-Americans. By a very, very long stretch.
The divide between African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) & White-Americans goes much farther than just differences of "race" or skin color.
The differences entail VERY deep divisions in regards to ideology & class. Very deep divisions in regards to culture, behavior, actions & attitudes.
Very deep divisions in regards to ways of talking, ways of acting & of reacting.
Just glancing over Topix Top Stories & African American forums.---Shows that there are very, very deep divisions between African Americans & White-Americans in this nation.
Throughout the United States, the divisions & polarization is further compounded by differences in ideology & class.
An example.--- An area such as Beverly Hills compared to Watts. The differences between Beverly Hills compared to Watts entails way more than just differences of race or skin color. The differences entail class. Differences in regards to behavior, actions & attitudes.
Differences in regards to ways of talking, ways of acting & of reacting.
African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) & White-Americans will NEVER be close in the United States. The interests of African Americans & White-Americans are not in harmony in this nation.
They will become even more discordant as time passes.
African Americans (Descendants of black American slaves) & White-Americans are NOT in this together.

Granted, the White population in the Western European nations has gone down. In regards to proportion & percentages.
But, Whites in the Western European nations still have PLENTY of numbers.
To show that the Western European nations are not in any danger.
Here's the racial breakdown for a few European nations. Some of the main European nations at this.---
1. For the United Kingdom.---- 92.1% White. 4.0% Asian. 2.0% Black. 1.2% Mixed. 0.4% Chinese. 0.4% Other.
People in the United Kingdom who classify as "Black", are ONLY 2.0% of the population.
The United Kingdom is in absolutely no danger.
2. For Italy.---- 92.47% Italian. 1.98% Romanian. 1.07% North African. 0.77% Albanian. 0.28% Chinese. 0.31% Ukrainian. 0.83% Asian (Non-Chinese). 0.54% Latin American. 0.47% Sub-Saharan African. 1.29% Other.
Sub-Saharan Africans are ONLY 0.47% of Italys population.
Italy is in absolutely no danger.
#3552 Jun 13, 2013
yon ---- A couple other examples. Which shows that Western Europe is in absolutely no danger.----
3. For Germany.---- There are 82 million Germans. 300,000 to 500,000 Afro Germans. 150,000 African nationals.
Germany is in absolutely no danger.
4. For Sweden.---- 85% Swedes. 5.0% Finns. 0.88% Assyrians. 0.5% Norwegian. 0.5% Danes. 0.5% Croats. 0.5% Albanians. 0.5% Serbs. 0.5% Bosnian. 0.5% Lebanese. 0.5% Turks. 0.5% Iraqis. 0.5% Iranians. 0.497% Roma. 0.1% Estonians. 0.1% Chilean. 0.1% Greek. 0.1% Somalis.
Somalis are ONLY 0.1% of Swedens population.
Sweden is in absolutely no danger.
The Eastern European nations are even WAY more White. Compared to the Western European nations.
In the Western European nations, the Whites who control the means of production & who make the policies.---- Are all in favor of having small minority populations. Comprised of several different minority groups.
Since these minority groups come from different histories & cultures. Since their goals, objectives & interests are different from each other.----- This prevents the minority groups from having any effective left wing "united minority front".
This also prevents the minority groups from having any effective left wing alliances with left wing White Europeans.
Since the minority groups come from a different history & culture. Since the minority groups have different goals, objectives & interests from the White-European working class & working poor. This prevents the minority groups from having any effective alliances with the White-European working class & working poor.
The society is fractured & fragmented.
This makes it easier for the Whites who control the means of production & who make the policies to rule.
#3553 Jun 13, 2013
Yes, radical Islamic fundamentalists are proponents of Sharia Law.
Granted, there are radical Islamic fundamentalists in Western Europe. But, the radical Islamic fundamentalists don't have the numbers to overthrow the Western European Systems.
Radical Islamic fundamentalists can carry out "lone wolf" attacks. Such as what recently happened in the United Kingdom.
But, these lone wolf attacks cannot overtly threaten the Western European Systems.
All of Europes Islamic organizations have government infiltrators & informants in them.
In my next post, I'll list the example of France.
#3554 Jun 13, 2013
yon ---- Clearly, radical Islamic fundamentalists are a threat.
But, radical Islamic fundamentalists don't have anywheres near the numbers to overtly threaten the Western European Systems.
Western European governments have been keeping radical Islamic fundamentalists in check.
An example.---- France.----
France had Muslim riots from late October till late November, 2005.
But, from November, 2005 till now.---- France hasn't had Muslim riots.
Because the French Intelligence Services have MANY infiltrators & informants in Muslim organizations.
This is why that France hasn't had any Muslim riots from November, 2005 till now.
All of the other European governments have also taken measures with their Intelligence Services. With having many infiltrators & informants in Muslim organizations.
United States
#3555 Jun 13, 2013
Then why American incited to hate others of not of his kinds? I see know the US militaristic Imperialist Needs A boogey mans so US can wage wars anywhere in the world with hindrance. EVIL you are! So, do you feel ashame What our warring AmeriKKKa govt is doing to world and American people in system. So?
#3556 Jun 13, 2013
yon --- Just because someone is a Muslim doesn't mean that they are an enemy.
There are many Muslims who are not a threat.
There are many Muslim nations who are aligned with the United States, Israel & the United Kingdom.
Here's a list of them.-----
1. Jordan.
2. Lebanon.
3. Kuwait.
4. United Arab Emirates (UAE).
5. Qatar.
6. Oman.
7. Morocco.
8. Mauritania.
9. Yemen.
10. Tunisia.
11. Iraq.--- Since Iraqs left wing Ba'ath Party dictatorship was overthrown back in May, 2003.--- Iraqs new government has come over to the camp headed by the United States, Israel & the United Kingdom.
12. Libya.--- Since Libyas left wing dictator, Muammar al-Gaddafi was overthrown. The new Libyan government has come over to the camp headed by the United States, Israel & the United Kingdom.
13. Indonesia.---- When they were under the rule of Suharto. Suharto was a Muslim. But, he was on the team of the United States, Israel & the United Kingdom.
Even when Suharto stepped down back in 1998. The Indonesian presidents which followed Suharto were also on the team of the United States, Israel & the United Kingdom.
Especially Abdurrahman Wahid (Aka --- Gus Dur).
14. Somalia.--- Somalias new Transitional Federal Government (TFG). Somalias Transitional Federal Government has been engaged in a brutal war. AGAINST Islamic fundamentalists who are based in Somalia.
In addition, there are many organizations within all of these Muslim nations which are pro-Zionist, pro-United States, pro-Israel & pro-United Kingdom.
So, just because someone is a Muslim.---- Does NOT mean that they are an enemy.
#3557 Jun 13, 2013
Well, the United States, Israel & the United Kingdom have many, many Allies throughout the world. Which MUST be protected.
At times, this entails the United States, Israel & the United Kingdom providing weapons, training &/or safe haven.
Other times, this entails the DIRECT military intervention of the United States, Israel, United Kingdom, France, Italy or Belgium.
United States
#3558 Jun 13, 2013
But US only have its few western Allies to support them! You do know 179 nations gave US the big Middle Fingers , the world is awake and no longer trust US and few Allies! Even our US allies complain our US macroeconomic warfare is ruining their economy! Our Death sentence! Have we not learn anything from History of Fall of Empires?
Better Wake up! Even our, quite a number of our US affluent class are leaving for greener paster and even renouncing their Citizenship! And the professional Immigrants of Science/tech are returning home enmasse ! So?

Here are 2 ways which you can use whenever you need to center a column div within `.container` in Twitter Bootstrap 3 as well as to keep empty space outside the `div` to be evenly distributed. First approach uses offset feature available in Bootstrap while it has a limitation and second approach is using `center-block` class with setting `float: none` in Twitter Bootstrap.

Display Data in Responsive Columns from Database using PHP
As responsive design has come into trends, I decided to write this post to display Data in Responsive Columns from Database using PHP. Like the image below, a product catalog would be good example of this where columns adjust them automatically to maintain responsiveness with different screen sizes.
Bootstrap Popover and Tooltip not working with AJAX content
With already present elements in HTML these Bootstrap JavaScript Plugins work fine but not with dynamically loading AJAX content. This article here explains the reason behind Bootstrap Popover and Tooltip not working with AJAX content and the way to let them work.
5 equal columns Bootstrap grid layout with 1, 2, 3, 4 of five
Twitter Bootstrap has 12 columns grid layout by default which allows you to create responsive layout for your website but you can't create 5 equal columns without using offset in this setup as sum of those column never meet with 12. But in this tutorial we have created some CSS rules to make five equal columns Bootstrap grid layout. Furthermore you can also have 1/5, 2/5, 3/5 and 4/5 sized columns combined with Bootstrap 12 columns grid layout after reading this post.

2 Ways for Hover Dropdown in Bootstrap 3 Navbar
The Bootstrap 3 css framework contains a pretty good navigation component called "navbar" which automatically collapse when the viewport is too small. The dropdown menu's of the navbar open when clicking the main item. For a tablet or phone this behavior is fine, but when using a desktop you might want the menu's to open when hovering them. So here we are discussing 2 Ways for Hover Dropdown in Bootstrap 3 Navbar.
Auto close alert in Twitter Bootstrap with AJAX
Twitter Bootstrap provides alerts in different style to give user some messages regarding his actions and he/she can then close the alert manually later. But there is not functionality to auto close alert in Twitter Bootstrap so here I'm demonstrating how can you auto close alert message with nice fade away & slide effects with using AJAX.
Reorder columns in small screens or mobile devices
So you want to change the layout of your bootstrap website and reorder columns in small screens or mobile devices for better accessibility and readability. The Bootstrap pull and push classes are there to let you change them or re-order divs while maintaining responsiveness.
Bootstrap 3 sidebar nav fixed – responsive affix full example
This article is full example of responsive Affix in Twitter Bootstrap 3, which is placed in sidebar of your Bootstrap project as a navigation menu on the same page. You can implement code to:
Expand collapse panel with toggle icon in Bootstrap
Twitter Bootstrap is being used popularly due to its powerful responsive front-end capabilities. One among its components 'Panel' is used for accordion and we can expand or collapse its body content by clicking on link inside panel heading. But I wanted to expand collapse panel with toggle icon in Bootstrap which are placed on right side inside panel heading as shown in the image below and the icons get changed according to visibility of content in panel.

Pakistan's faltering effort to rid the country of polio has encountered any bloody set-back after at least 12 people were killed when three roadside bombs targeted a vaccination team in the north-west. Among those killed were 11 paramilitary troops and a young boy.
Reports said the devices were detonated in Lashora, around 20 miles southwest of the city of Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. While information was last night still emerging, one report said an initial explosion injured several people and that the 11 troops were killed when they went to help those hurt and a second device was set off.
Jahangir Khan, a senior official, told the AFP news agency that two vehicles belonging to the medical team were damaged in the explosions. Around a dozen people were hurt.
No-body immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. But polio workers have been repeatedly targeted and a number of militant groups have made clear their opposition to the vaccination workers. Many claim the vaccination programmes are part of a Western-backed scheme to sterilise Muslims.
Pakistan is one of just three nations where polio remains endemic and along with Afghanistan and Nigeria, huge efforts are being made to tackle the disease. India, which once suffered the most from polio, recently celebrated being three years without a confirmed case.
Violence is hampering the struggle to tackle polio. There have also been new outbreaks in Somalia and Syria.
Of the three countries where it is endemic, only Pakistan saw an increase in cases. Last year a total of 91 cases were reported, compared with 58 in 2012. The World Health Organisation said 90 per cent of Pakistan's cases were genetically linked to Peshawar.
What's more, the disease is spreading beyond Pakistan's borders. Last November, the WHO revealed that strain of polio that had broken out in Syria had originated in Pakistan.
Polio vaccination workers in Pakistan, most of them women, have been repeatedly targeted in Pakistan, apparently by the Taliban. The militants have prevented polio workers reaching large swathes of the remote tribal areas that border Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands of youngsters have missed out on getting the vaccine.
"This is the most serious challenge for polio eradication," said Dr Rana Safdar, Pakistan's former national polio coordinator. "We used to think the problem of attacks was restricted to certain high-risk areas. But now are seeing that this can happen any where and at any time. We cannot provide security everywhere."
Suspicion about polio workers got markedly worse after the 2011 US operation to locate and kill Osama Bin Laden. In the aftermath of the operation it emerged the CIA had recruited a Pakistani doctor to organise a fake vaccination drive to try and obtain a DNA sample from the children living inside the al-Qa'ida leader's Abbottabad compound.
The doctor, Shakil Afridi, was later charged with treason and sentenced to jail for 33 years. A court has ordered a retrial and the West has been pushing Pakistan to release the doctor.Reuse content

Complex-type elements have attributes, child elements, or some combination of the two. For example, the Name and HomePage elements below are both complex-type elements.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <Person> <Name> <FirstName>Mark</FirstName> <LastName>Twain</LastName> </Name> <HomePage URL="http://www.marktwain.com"/> </Person>
As the diagram below shows, a complex-type element can be empty, contain simple content such as a string, or can contain complex content such as a sequence of elements.
Whereas it is not necessary to explicitly declare that a simple-type element is a simple type, it is necessary to specify that a complex-type element is a complex type. This is done with the xs:complexType element as shown below.

It was September 2004 when Bar Harbor
last threw a welcoming bash for a visiting cruise ship, the Queen
Mary 2.
Now, Maine's busiest cruise port wants to do the same thing when
the Queen Victoria calls on Sept. 30. The Queen Victoria is smaller
than the QM2. But, as in the case of the Queen Mary 2, it'll be the
ship's maiden call to Bar Harbor and reason to celebrate.
When the QM2 called, portions of streets in downtown Bar Harbor
were closed to vehicles. Gov. John Baldacci and other dignitaries
visited and thousands of others turned out to get a glimpse of the
huge ship.
The Bar Harbor Town Council voted 7-0 to authorize the chamber
of commerce to plan a big event for the Queen Victoria's arrival.
The ship was launched in 2007 and carries 2,000 passengers.

This is a light weight GpsGate client (Trial version runs for 10 minutes at a time).
It has been developed for commercial tracking applications.
Some features that the other client does not have.
* Queue location data when no service to the internet is available.
* A three phase motion detection design for detecting device movement. Eventually shutting down if no movement is detected. This saves on battery use.
I intend to continue to improve and update this version with new features.
I found that for commercial applications UDP is used. So this app will only support UDP no HTTP.

Three Day Synopsis
... We proceeded to Marble Falls and infringed upon Ronny & Linda's date night. The food was pretty good, the waitress was very good, but the margarita was only marginal. We returned to the campground and sat around visiting until after 9pm, then everyone retired to their respective "homes". Still no rain, thank goodness!
This morning we got up at our usual times. I went for a walk around the campground while I was waiting for my 30 minutes to be up. After ...
More heat
... soooooo boring!!! it seemed like it took forever to get to the point where we left I-10 for US 290. Of course 290 isn't all that interesting either. There were dark clouds gathering and it sure it looked like it was going to pour down at any minute, but no rain. Pretty soon, the clouds parted and the sun was shining, thus making it warmer.
By the time we arrived at the park, I was so tired of riding in a vehicle, I didn't even want to go out to dinner, but I also ...
Little slice of heaven!!!
While being in the army we have tried to travel to things close by Fort Hood. We found this little slice of heaven one day while driving around. Marble Falls, TX. is beautiful. It's close by the water and has the best diner that I think I have ever really tried. My favorite is their Pecan Pie. I have never had any better pecan pie then ...
Rock climbing & Swimming
... but by the time we pulled into the visitors center at the park, the sun was starting to peak out from behind the clouds, but then it was humid. Anyway, we drove over to the falls area, parked the car and walked down to where the falls would be if there had been more rain. Actually glad it didn't rain a lot since that area is subject to flash flooding and over the years, several people have lost their lives there.
The boys started climbing on the rocks ...
Crack of Dawn
... touring the "zoo", it was time to head back and eat dinner. Tonight was spaghetti w/meatballs. After dinner, they went back to the jump pillow for a while. Guess they've had too much togetherness since they started fighting and I had to give a couple of "time outs".
Didn't let them stay up as long tonight, but they wanted to finish watching the LEGO Movie, so they did, tonight they were ready for sleep by 10 pm. Tonight, Dylan and Aaron slept on the sleeping ...

Internet of Things and Big Data - Who Owns All the Data?
We've been doing it for years, decades for some. How many websites have you created accounts on? Your bank, your credit card companies, social media sites, hotels and travel sites, online shopping sites, and that's just the start. We do it often without even thinking about it, quickly entering our personal information, our data, in a plethora of systems. Sometimes we're not even aware of the information we are providing. It could be very personal information (think of the security questions you provide answers to for protecting your information on these systems), to information about your behavior, your interests (websites visited, internet search topics). While possibly concerning from a privacy perspective, you had some level of control. For the backend systems involved, the volume and variety of the data was a manageable situation. The tradeoff between privacy and convenience is something we, for the most part, found acceptable.
Not just about personal data This is not a situation unique to consumers and personal data - businesses do the same thing. In order to conduct business with each other, businesses must share key information about themselves and their operations with their partners, such as key contacts within the organization, purchasing trends, locations, and shipping patterns of products. All the information that is needed by the business partners, yet is also an asset subject to privacy concerns within the business. As with our personal data, it is always a delicate balancing act of tradeoffs in order to be able to conduct business.
Then came mobile and Internet of Things The game changed when the mobile revolution started, and continued with the explosion of the Internet of Things. Your mobile apps, along with all your 'smart' devices that you wear (e.g., fitbit), are in your home (e.g., smart TVs, nest, smart appliances), or even your car, are sending massive amounts of disparate information out into the cloud. While the data packets for most devices tend to be small, there are a lot of devices. Gartner estimates that there will be over 20 billion 'things' by 2020. To the sheer volume of devices, now add in the velocity of the data. These devices can be streaming a large variety information constantly. Your GPS location, house temperature, car speed, even your blood pressure. Sometimes we are aware, many times not.
The business-to-business side is not without impacts as well. RFID chips in inventory that is shipping between and through partner, smart manufacturing facilities, like smart homes, are providing huge volumes of information about their operation without even potentially realizing it.
Privacy & ownership vs the world This is not a 'the sky is falling' or the 'world has my data' rant. I raise it to point out the impact of our data usage and consumption is in today's world of the 'Internet of Everything.' I am reminded of a presentation I attended at a Gartner Symposium entitled 'Privacy vs the World' presented by Heidi Wachs, a research director at Gartner. She raised the point that "the lines between social culture, corporate culture and regulation are blurred when it comes to privacy'.

With snow and gales forecast for Britain this week, owners are being reminded that small furry pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs are vulnerable to the cold and damp despite their fur coats.
The British Veterinary Association (BVA) and British Veterinary Zoological Society (BVZS) are asking owners with outdoor hutches and runs to be vigilant during the cold snap and make sure that their pets' living space is well-protected from the cold and damp.
Owners should:
- Make sure rabbits' and guinea pigs' homes are at least 4 inches off the ground
- Check their pets' homes are waterproof, draught-proof, damp-proof, dry and ventilated – as well as escape-proof and predator-proof
- Keep the temperature of their rabbits' and guinea pigs' home between 5-20⁰C for rabbits (the lower temperature assumes rabbits are healthy and kept with other rabbits, with lots of bedding for warmth) and 15-20⁰C for guinea pigs, avoiding too many fluctuations in temperature change for both rabbits and guinea pigs
- Check regularly for water marks or other signs of damage that suggests water is getting into a hutch and run
- Check water bottles/bowls twice daily to ensure water is accessible and not frozen
- Place your pets' home in a sheltered position, away from wind, rain and snow
- Make sure your rabbits and guinea pigs have extra bedding to keep warm during a cold snap
- Line hutches with plenty of newspaper and hay and cover with an old duvet/blanket/tarpaulin
- Consider moving outdoor pets inside to a well-ventilated space with light and room to exercise during severe weather – but never place in a garage in use as vehicle exhaust fumes are harmful to rabbits and guinea pigs
"If you stop to think about it, wild rabbits live in burrows underground, where the temperature is relatively constant and the animal is well-sheltered from wind, snow and rain. We ask owners to try and make sure that their pets do not suffer unnecessarily in the cold and that the temperature and dryness of their pet's home is kept as close to the animal's natural environment as possible."

Corrupted Sun
Money-gold and blood-red, darkened by corruption,
Interrupting the stars with tendrils of light.
Cold dew of dawn on feet; she walks, and waits,
Trees filling her vision, and above them the sun
Bursts over their pointed tops and shows her
The thing for which she has been looking.
Herself. A shadow on the floor. Her bare feet
Make no noise as she walks a little further,
Pausing to look down, and then reaches the fence.
Sharp wood. Splinters. Reality among the magic.
She stumbles on a rock, a sharp pain on bare toes.
A little blood. She heeds it not, walks further,
Eyes fixed on the bright fireworks of morning.
A few wisps of cloud hint of shadows later on -
She ignores them, and keeps on walking.
Long grass, swishing at her bare summer legs:
This is a sunrise to remember, on this golden day
Of a dark, late summer.

Owner rejects bids for historic site
The owner of western Indiana historic site Billie Creek Village has decided to not sell it to any of the top bidders from last week's auction.
Owner Charlie Cooper says he wants to keep the living-history center along U.S. 36 near Rockville together and not split up into three parcels.
The Tribune-Star reports no bids were made at the auction for the entire 70-acre site, while top bids were $250,000 for the village, $280,000 for its adjourning farmland and $10,000 for the parking lot area.
Cooper says he's been approached by people interested in keeping the village open and believes he'll get a deal worked out.
The 81-year-old Cooper says he's simply too old to keep running the village that he bought four years ago it faced financial struggles.

Application Managed Services-JK Technosoft
Leading high street retailer reduces support costs and improves efficiency through Application Managed Services
Specsavers is the world's largest privately owned optical group with total revenue for 2012/13 exceeding £1.7 billion. The company has more than 1,600 stores in 10 countries and well over 23 million registered customers worldwide. Specsavers is the largest retail provider of home delivery of contact lens and retail dispenser of digital hearing aids in the United Kingdom and has been voted Britain's most trusted opticians for 11 years running by Readers Digest, as well as raising millions for various charities across the globe.
The Situation:
As part of their successful global expansion, Specsavers needed to strengthen their IT services to meet the increasing business demands. A key part of this was to introduce an industry standard, cost effective, efficient and reliable application support service to manage not only their new global applications but also their 'legacy' applications. Specsavers identified that introducing a third party vendor to provide Application Managed Services (AMS) for majority of their "legacy" applications would allow them to release their internal resources to concentrate on their new IT strategy.
The Requirement:
The client wanted an AMS partner who could demonstrate capability and credibility to:
Develop and operate ITIL compliant processes and procedures (incident, problem & change management)
Define and agree service scope including service windows, SLAs and service demand
Provide Tier 3 services for incident management

Engage in a mature business relationship including governance and shared plans

As an established practitioner JKT were well positioned to meeting all the clients' criteria:
Client domain knowledge
Client Technology platform
Service Management knowledge (ITSM)
ITIL Support Framework
ITIL Transition Framework
The Solution:
24×7 global support for 'legacy' retail, supply chain and corporate applications
ITIL support for incident, problem and change management
Flexible service delivery based on application, service window, SLAs and service demand
Service definition – fully ITIL aligned including governance, separation of duties, standard processes and SLAs
Transition project – a proven standard project approach to minimise transition risks
Service maturity model – delivering savings through service optimisation and service assurance underpinned by client specific training academy
High value – balancing the benefits, risks and costs of a predominantly offshore managed service
Strong contract – clear and comprehensive to minimise administration and operational conflict
Significant (70/30) offshore/onshore delivery ratio
An open and solid relationship between the Client and JKT
Steady and predictable service
Outcome based Service – greatly reduced operational cost
Implemented proven industry best practice and matured delivery processes
Robust SLA – achieving above customer satisfaction
JKT – Client Relationship:
JKT has been engaged with Specsavers since 2003 and has built an enviable reputation to become a key IT Services Partner. Over this period JKT has successfully delivered core solutions to the client's custom-built IT applications for retail outlets, supply chain and head office based inventory and reporting.

text: I know this doesn't mean much this early in a season, but it's interesting to think about at least. http://www.draftshowcase.com/swmock06.htm 1 Houston Texans (0-4) D'Brickashaw Fergson OT Virginia At this point in the year, this is what is most likely to happen if we aren't projecting trades. I am not completely sold on Ferguson as the top tackle in the draft, but as of right now, no one has overtaken him. Houston desperately needs help on the offensive line and will almost certainly take advantage of this strong group of tackles. 2 San Francisco 49ers (1-3) AJ Hawk LB Ohio State Hawk would project inside if San Francisco continues to play more 3-4. Derek Smith and Jeff Ulbrich are solid, but Smith is getting older and neither are the game changer that Hawk could be. He could really become a leader for this defense. 3 Minnesota Vikings (1-3) Reggie Bush RB USC The Vikings have a lot of running backs already and a lot of them are smaller, 3rd down type backs, which many people will say Bush is. However, none of the Viking backs have Bush's flair. He'll give Daunte Culpepper help by solidifying the running game and is also capable of being split out or catching the ball from a slot position. 4 Arizona Cardinals (1-4) Matt Leinart QB USC Denny Green has said that he likes Josh McCown, but McCown hasn't proven himself yet. If Leinart is on the board here, it would hard for the Cardinals to not take him and unite him with their excellent group of young receivers. 5 Green Bay Packers (1-4) Chad Greenway LB Iowa The Pack have a couple of good linebackers in Na'Il Diggs and Nick Barnett. Robert Thomas was a nice pickup, but the chance to add Greenway as their weakside backer might be too great to pass up here. 6 Chicago Bears (1-4) Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin Thomas has been dominant so far this season and is really proving that he is a top 15 pick if he chooses to enter this year's draft. The Bears have largely ignored their line problems in the past couple drafts, so they go with Thomas here. 7 Oakland Raiders (1-3) Mario Williams DE NC State With Derrick Burgess already their pass rush specialist, the Raiders take Williams over Kiwanuka for his size. Williams can play the strongside and can even move inside to give aging tackles Warren Sapp and Ted Washington a breather. 8 Baltimore Ravens (1-3) Marcus McNeill OT Auburn McNeill is a huge mauler and is a younger version of Orlando Brown. Brown may not be with the team much longer and the Ravens don't have a whole lot of depth at the tackle position. 9 New York Jets (2-3) Laurence Maroney RB Minnesota The Jets could go a number of ways here, but I don't see Derrick Blaylock or Cedric Houston as the heirs to Curtis Martin's feature back spot, so I'll project Maroney to them here. 10 Tennessee Titans (2-3) Jonathan Scott OT Texas Scott is an athletic left tackle prospect who could eventually take over for Brad Hopkins at Tennessee's left tackle spot. 11 New Orleans Saints (2-3) Jimmy Williams CB Virginia Tech Scott is an athletic left tackle prospect who could eventually take over for Brad Hopkins at Tennessee's left tackle spot. 12 Buffalo Bills (2-3) Max Jean-Gilles G Georgia A little high for a guard maybe, but Jean-Gilles is a potentially dominating run blocker and with Chris Villarrial nearing the end of his career, the Bills may choose to go with an interior lineman here. 13 St. Louis Rams (2-3) Charles Gordon CB Kansas This is a team that has had trouble defending the pass this season and this speedy cover man could be a quick fix. 14 Cleveland Browns (2-2) Mathias Kiwanuka DE Boston College Kiwanuka's versatility could make him the pick here for Romeo Crennel. Kiwanuka is a great rusher from a 3-point, but if he shows that he can rush from the two point as well, he could be a good fit in this defense. 15 Miami Dolphins (2-2) Omar Jacobs QB Bowling Green Jacobs is very raw, but his physical tools allow him to project as a future starter in the pros. The Dolphins don't have any young QB they can pin as their future, and Jacobs, a Florida product himself, could be Nick Saban's guy. 16 Kansas City Chiefs (2-2) Santonio Holmes WR Ohio State Say what you want about his size, Holmes is a playmaker. He has the skills to be a go-to guy in the NFL and that's exactly what the Chiefs need in this draft. 17 San Diego Chargers (2-3) Laron Landry FS LSU Receiver is going to be a need, but that position is much deeper than safety, where a playmaker like Landry is tough to pass up on here. The Chargers are a playmaker in the secondary away from being a complete team. 18 Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) Leonard Pope TE Georgia The Eagles don't have a lot of needs, so they have some options here. LJ Smith is a great receiver, but they don't have that much quality depth at the tight end position, so they go with Pope, a big guy who can become a great blocker and still offers great receiving 19 Dallas Cowboys (3-2) Vince Young QB Texas The way he's playing this year, Young is validating himself as a bona fide QB prospect. He's throwing the ball better and with Drew Bledsoe there, the Boys can afford to wait a couple years for him to develop. Receiver is a possibility here too, but Young's upside is almost too big to pass up. 20 Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) Tye Hill CB Clemson Will Blackmon has been playing WR primarily, so Hill leaps over him as the selection here. He has great speed and can play man and Jacksonville needs another young CB to pair with Rashean Mathis. 21 New England Patriots (3-2) Ahmad Brooks LB Virginia Brooks' stock has been dropping a little due to injury, but he's still an elite athlete. If he's still around here, it would be very hard for New England, who has been getting sub par play out of their inside backers, to pass him up. 22 Seattle Seahawks (3-2) DeAngelo Williams RB Memphis This is assuming Shaun Alexander doesn't stick around. If he doesn't, this team will need a feature back which Williams definitely can be with his all around ability. 23 Detroit Lions (2-2) Andrew Whitworth OT LSU The Lions haven't been doing a great job protecting Joey Harrington and their right tackle position still hasn't been solidified. Whitworth is an all-american who could potentially step in right away for the Lions. 24 Carolina Panthers (3-2) Marcedes Lewis TE UCLA Lewis can give the Panthers' offense another option as he is a great receiver and could open up the middle of the field for Jake Delhomme. 25 Atlanta Falcons (3-2) Jeremy Trueblood OT Boston College The Falcons need to start building up that offensive line to protect Michael Vick. Trueblood is a big tackle with a lot of upside. 26 Denver Broncos f/WAS Greg Eslinger C Minnesota Eslinger is a Tom Nalen clone and a perfect fit in the Broncos' offense. 27 New York Giants (3-1) Haloti Ngata DT Oregon The Giants need safety help, but there aren't any free safeties available here that is quite worth this pick, so instead, they go with Ngata who can plug up the middle with William Joseph even though Kendrick Clancy has been playing well. 28 Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1) Mike DeGory C Florida It's a boring pick, but I still think this is a perfect fit. The Steelers pride themselves on hard running and having a center in the middle who can pull and also open holes up the middle is key, so with Jeff Hartings nearing the end of his career, they go with DeGory. 29 Denver Broncos (4-1) Manny Lawson DE NC State The Broncos have picked up a few free agents at the end position, but they still haven't gotten the pass rush production they need. Lawson can give them some more speed off the edge. 30 Cincinnati Bengals (4-1) Rodrique Wright DT Texas Wright has been inconsistent for much of his career, but is putting together a solid season thus far. Cincinnati is building a nice young defense, but could improve themselves right up the middle.. 31 Tampa Bay Bucs (4-1) Ernie Sims LB Florida State The Bucs may have a need here soon as Derrick Brooks is nearing the end of his career and there is little depth here. Sims is a local product with outstanding physical skills.. 32 Indianapolis Colts (5-0) Daryn Colledge OT Boise State The Colts need to think about an heir to the left tackle spot for Tarik Glenn, and Colledge could be the guy here..

REMAND prisoners could be forced to make court appearances via a live television link under new Home Office proposals.
A four-week trial would take place at Great Yarmouth magistrates' court, involving prisoners at Norwich jail, Michael Jack, the Home Office minister, said yesterday.
If the experiment is successful, the scheme could be introduced throughout England and Wales. Ministers see it as a way of saving on the costs of transporting inmates to and from courts for hearings. Many police and prison officers are involved in escort duties.
The scheme would also cut the risk of transporting high-security inmates between jails and courts.
The Home Office said it would use television only for routine hearings. Inmates would still go to court for any 'issues of substance'. If prisoners wanted to challenge a decision to leave them in their cells during a hearing, they would have to give a 'good reason'.
Mr Jack said: 'Development of these ideas, in which this pilot scheme is a vital preliminary stage, is still at a very early stage and we shall need to be fully convinced that these benefits will be achieved without prejudicing remand prisoners' rights to appear regularly before the courts.
He added: 'Use of the most up-to-date technology has the potential to make better use of resources in the criminal justice system.'
Jonathan Caplan QC, of the Bar council, said inmates were often reluctant to attend remand hearings as they were forced to change cells on their return to prison.
But civil liberties groups were concerned that the idea could lead to widespread use of television link-ups, even in key hearings.
'It could be the thin end of the wedge,' John Wadham, legal officer with Liberty, said. Even if the plans were introduced on a limited basis, defendants could feel they were being left out of decisions affecting their cases.
In the Great Yarmouth experiment, convicted inmates will be asked to play the part of remand prisoners in mock hearings.
The introduction of live TV links would require primary legislation as current law requires defendants remanded in custody to appear in court in person.

We have lived in Orlando/Disney area for many years, and will provide you with helpful visitor information for all the local world class attractions.
Steve McMurtrey purchased this house in 2005
Our host was amazing! We stayed over Christmas and they were kind enough to put up a tree for us (even left our 5yo daughter a few goodies). The house definitely lived up to our expectations, it's big beautiful, and well-stocked with everything we could ever need. We essentially invited our whole family to stay with us, and it worked out better than we could have ever imagined. The neighborhood was charming and close to highway (which means close to both Disney and attractions, as well as Downtown). We took full advantage of the heated pool, as it dipped down into "chilly" territory in the early morning. All in all, being our first experience, it was so much better than staying in a hotel. And with all the charm and warmth of feeling at home, and exceptionally attentive hospitality, I can't imagine going back to booking a hotel again. I would absolutely recommend staying here, although not around Christmas 2016... that's ours!!!
The pics don't do it justice. Very clean, spacious, and has all necessities you could ask for. The private backyard was our favorite part with heated pool, swing, BBQ area and the hammock. Will definitely stay here again!!!
We had some issues with the BBQ and the pool, the owner took care of them. Overall a good place to stay with a family.
Everything about this home was perfect. Our family had a wonderful stay and the accommodations were outstanding. The access to Universal and Disney was easy. The video room was an added benefit that was much appreciated. Very quiet neighborhood added to the pleasant stay. After the business of the day it was nice to come home and be able to unwind and relax. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY!!
The property is located in a nice, safe area. Our first impression, once stepping in the home, was that the home was a jaw dropper. Beautiful and functionally decorated. The beds where top notch for comfort after a long day at the park. The home was also decorated for Christmas with a tree and Christmas decor. The pool was clean and well maintained. We encounter a problem with the pools automatic heater not working but this was resolved fast and effectively by Dan, the property manager. The owners were also easy to reach, if needed. The movie room was excellent and had plenty of room for everyone. Over all, everything was as or beyond advertised beside the sound system in the pool area, which was disconnected and no longer usable. Other than that, the home was truly paradise and gave our family an unforgettable vacation to remember.
I was beyond pleased with this vacation rental. Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, we loved this house and all the great features! The movie room was awesome and the pool was beautiful! We really felt like we were at home! Very comfortable and well stocked with everything you would need. Next time we come down, we will plan a day to relax at the house. Located 10 minutes from Universal Studios and 20 minutes from Disney- very convenient! Steve was very easy to communicate with and extremely responsive!
Location was great but the description and photos are misleading and false.
Garage - one side was so full of "stuff" that it wasn't usable. It was musty and smelled so we didn't go in.
Front door - we did not have access to the house until I asked for the door code and it was sent the night before the stay.
Office - the computer would not turn on and was unusable. The sofa with pull out bed was moved to this room for some reason. The pull out bed was so uncomfortable to sleep in, my mother and father in-law moved the mattress to the floor and slept on it that way.
Living room area (near front door) - not set up like the photos. This wasn't a problem, just not what was advertised.
Small restroom off of the dining room - seat did not stay in the up position at times and may need maintenance.
Main Dining area (near front door) - one of the tiles was missing a corner
Kitchen - The door to the garbage in the island doesn't stay shut and is a nuisance since it faces the walkway through the kitchen.
Small Dining area - One chair had a leg that was ready to fall off (separated from the chair by 3/4 inch.
Main living room/TV area - couch and ottoman had several tears in the leather. The couch was so "broken in" on the spot directly in front of the TV that you had to put 1-2 pillows behind you so you could sit comfortably. The pillows were constantly losing feathers so I had to keep my 9 month old son from eating them. The stereo system for the pool area is hidden in a cabinet in this room and isn't labeled very well. It's also so dated it didn't work very well.
Master bedroom - There was no TV in there as the app and pictures and wording of the description suggested. The remote for the fan didn't work and the pull chains on the fan are mislabeled. The footboard of the bed frame was broken as well.
Master bathroom - There was some minor drywall damage
Loft (pool table area) - The description of the house claims there is a "sleeper sectional sofa with TV and Stereo System" but there was no place to sit other than one large bean bag and no sound system. This was completely false.
Theatre room - There was no hide away bed and there was a portable AC unit which doesn't make sense to have in a theatre room since it's incredibly loud.
Small bedroom withouse bunk bed - frame was broken
Upstairs bathroom - found a live cockroach in the kleenex box
Pool - several moldy and broken pool toys in a bin
Would definitely stay again if updated.
