DEBKAfile Exclusive Report April 30, 2015
Fear of ISIS drove the hitherto neutral Syrian Druzes into seeking support from Assad. He turned them over to the Revolutionary Guards and Hizballah who recruited them as Hizballah fighters and terrorists against Israel.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report April 19, 2015
Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning to Israel not to sell arms to Ukraine, in reprisal for his release of S-300 air defense missiles to Iran, adds a European dimension to the dispute by planting Israel squarely in the middle of the US-Russian Ukraine crisis. Putin's implied threat to punish Israel by sending S-300s to Syria too follows his intelligence updates on tight US-Israeli military collaboration in two arenas: Syria and Ukraine. The S-300s have not yet been shipped to Iran. It depends on whether Obama decides to forge ahead with expanded military assistance to Kiev.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 19, 2015
The Saudis and Gulf are pulling the financial rug from under Amman for playing ball with Tehran at US instigation. Israel may also withdraw its shield from the royal family.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report March 12, 2015
Israel planned its targeted assassination of Hamas icon Muhammed Deif with intelligence from its mole in Hamas. It missed by a fluke and the mole awaits execution.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis March 7, 2015
US and Israeli intelligence agencies sharply disagree on the time Iran needs for breakout to a bomb. The Americans cite one year between a decision by Tehran to cross from nuclear threshold to nuclear bomb – enough time for preventive action; the Israelis say much less and, anyway, US and Israeli can't be sure to catch the Iranians at it in time to stop its advance to a nuclear weapon. Saudi Arabia, fellow Gulf States and Egypt are no more convinced than Israel that the one-year timeline is realistic.
DEBKAfile Special Report March 4, 2015
Barack Obama's Iran policy, spectacularly challenged by Binyamin Netanyahu in his Congress speech Tuesday, March 3, is manifested 10,000 kilometers from Washington, in the Iranian-led Iraqi battle for Tikrit. Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff commented that day that the "Tikrit campaign… the most overt conduct of Iranian support …could turn out to be a positive thing." debkafile: This US-Iranian partnership, which is mirrored in Syria, is alarming Israeli military chiefs because it brings the Iranian peril closer than ever before.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 17, 2015
The Iranian-backed "Operation Quneitra Martyrs" for the capture of the Golan brings Afghan and Pakistani Shiite fighters to an Israeli border for the first time, debkafile reveals that 2,000 of these fighters have joined an equal number of Hizballah troops, who are spearheading a march on the Golan from southern Syria. They were recruited from the Hazara and Zaynubian militias established by Tehran. After polishing their combat skills and learning to fight as an integrated force, Iran plans to deploy them in Lebanon to augment Hizballah's war on Israel.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 9, 2015
Egyptian and Israeli intelligence have discovered the former Ansar Bait al-Maqdis - reborn as the Islamic State's operational arm in Sinai – well into advanced preparations for a large-scale terrorist offensive targeting Israel forces manning the Egyptian frontier, along with another multiple assault on Egyptian targets in Sinai, the Suez and Cairo. debkafile: Elated by the success of their Jan. 29 multiple attacks, which left at least 40 Egyptians dead and more than 100 injured, the Islamist group is determined to keep going. Israeli forces are well prepared.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 5, 2015
ISIS tacticians figured that the horrific murder of the Jordanian pilot would drum up anti-US sentiment and popular Arab calls to quit the US-led coalition.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report February 5, 2015
Iran is putting the first interlocking pieces in place for its Shiite Crescent empire in Anbar, Iraq and the Qalamoun Mountains of western Syria. Israel is the fly in the Syrian ointment.
DEBKAfile Special Report February 4, 2015
At dawn Wednesday, Feb. 4, Jordan executed the Iraqi woman terrorist Sajida al-Rishawi, who was offered to ISIS to save the life of the pilot Lt. Mu'ath al Kassasbeh, along with another al Qaeda terrorist Ziad Karbouli. Since the Islamic State released the video showing the young pilot burned alive in a cage, the Jordanian army and security forces have been on full-scale alert in case ISIS hits back at the executions by activating its many sleeper cells for strikes in Jordanian cities. debkafile: This would bring the jihadist threat up to Israel's eastern border.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 19, 2014
The red alert for the incoming rocket from Gaza which hit the Eshkol District Friday morning Dec.19, followed dull thumps in parts of Beersheba Thursday. debkafile: They were an omen of Hamas' return to Tehran's sway. Their reconciliation accord provides for Hamas to revive low-key rocket fire against Israel while coordinating all its operations with Iran. Hamas will pretend "anonymous groups" are responsible. Israel is onto this turn of events but is keeping quiet for now. But Hamas celebrated with an unheard-of military parade on Temple Mount, Jerusalem.
Which slogan will carry Israel's election? Pledges of affordable housing or security against terror?
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis December 12, 2014
Five major blocs are emerging at the outset of Israel's election campaign: right, left, center, religious and Arab. Yitzhak Herzog of Labor promises to form the next government after hitching up with former Justice Minister Tzipi Livni of Hatnuah. But private party polls place the couple only third or fourth in the coming election. The only fresh face in the race is Moshe Kahlan, late of Likud, who this week established his Kulanu (All of Us) party. The ultra-religious Shas is about to split with Ellie Yishay quitting to form a new religious party.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 10, 2014
A group of at least ten ISIS operations and intelligence officers, led by a senior commander, has arrived in Sinai and taken charge of the local Ansar Beit al-Maqdas jihadis, thereby opening up a dangerous new front against Egypt and Israel, in proximity to the Suez Canal, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, debkafile reports. Since Ansar pledged allegiance to IS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdad considers Sinai a province of his Islamic caliphate. His forward command in Sinai is directed to move from targeting Egypt to fighting the "Egyptian-Zionist alliance."
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 2, 2014
All the US and Western strike and surveillance flights against ISIS in Syria and Iraq reach their targets through Israeli and Jordanian airspace, US, European and civilian monitors of global air force movements report. This is confirmed by detailed maps released by bodies tracking the movements of military strike and refueling craft across the world. One of two corridors (see attached map) runs north of Tel Aviv through Jordan to Iraq and the second through Golan to Syria. Israel and Jordan are revealed as partners in the US-led air offensive against ISIS.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis September 9, 2014
A "Western diplomat" reported Monday, Sept. 8, that "Israel has provided satellite imagery…in support of the US-led aerial campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq." This information was "shared by Washington with Arab and Turkish allies after being "scrubbed of evidence of its Israeli origin." debkafile: This tall tale is clearly part of a deep US game - to break up the Saudi-Egyptian-UAE bloc which backed Israel's Gaza operation, and draw Arab allies into the Obama coalition for fighting the Islamic State, offering the bait of Israeli intelligence available only through Washington.
Syria forces ranged for major counteroffensive to dislodge rebels from Quneitra. High tension on Golan
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 3, 2014
Soldiers of the Syrian army's 7th Division and tanks were poised Wednesday, Sept. 3 for an imminent all-out offensive against rebels holding parts of Quneitra, debkafile reports. The Syrians may move their tanks into the battle zone, in defiance of Israel's caution via the UN that they would be infringing ceasefire agreements and incur IDF counteraction. Damascus counts on Israel being deterred from striking Syrian forces fighting Syrian Islamists after the wave of revulsion from the beheading of the Jewish American journalist Steven Sotloff by Iraqi Islamists.
Egyptian troops hunt Hamas, Islamic Jihad rocket gangs loose in Sinai. Palestinians stall on truce talks
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report September 1, 2014
The Egyptian military are scouring northern and central Sinai for Hamas and Islamic Jihad rocket squads and the launching sites they have buried beneath the desert surface, according to debkafile's exclusive sources. They turn out to have established an elaborate rocket-launching network in Sinai in the week before the Aug. 26 ceasefire in Gaza - both as a second front against Israel, and as a lever, in case the Cairo negotiations later this month failed to meet their terms for a deal. But those talks are stalled anyway by furious Palestinian inter-faction feuding.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis August 28, 2014
The battle for Quneitra has no real military importance for the Syrian conflict at large, says debkafile. The Syrian army, helped by Iran and Hizballah, is winning and the rebel side crumbling. However, integrated in the rebel contingents fighting for Quneitra, with US, Israeli and Jordanian backing, are Al Qaeda's Nusra Front fighters and its Sinai arm, Ansar Beit Al-Madis, which works hand in glove with Israel's foe, the Palestinian Hamas. When a black Al Qaeda flag flies over Quneitra 200 m from its Golan border, Israel will face a new dilemma.
Israel-Hamas truce deal in effect from Tuesday 7 p.m. Heavy Palestinian barrage last minute kills 2 Israelis
DEBKAfile Exclusive Analysis August 26, 2014
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel-Fatteh El-Sisi were able to bring Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip to accept an unlimited ceasefire in hostilities in effect from 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 26, based on the 2012 deal. Netanyahu did not ask for his ministers' endorsement, knowing he did not have majority support in the cabinet. Hamas violated all eleven agreed truces during during the 50-day Gaza conflict. Up to the last minute, Hamas kept up heavy rocket and mortar fire, causing two Israeli deaths and seven injured in the Eshkol District.

But to be in NYC and not visit any of its establishments seem a little lacklustre for a foodie, granted he's one of the trendier, upcoming and famous chefs of today. Luckily, he has built quite a stable of restaurants over the last couple of years and during the flight into NYC, I read up over Wi-Fi (how cool is that?) on the profile of his places and decided to go back to his roots, Momofuku Ssam Bar; the second place he opened up, ranked #38 in the World's 50 Best Restaurants, the place where Anthony Bourdain reviewed in No Reservations back in 2009 and a stumble across his latest Momofuku Milkbar (more on that later).
There's a theme in most of his restaurants, a few substantial items that are available with pre-ordering (imagine whole duck, pork butt or two fried chicken), a few larger items for sharing and a number of tapas sized and priced dishes. Cuisine wise, some call it fusion, while others call it an asian inspired posh version of dude food (whatever that means). If anything, its like Korea meets America on a small plate.
We started off with some fresh oysters paired with a kombu mignonette, a vinegar dressing. As fresh and tasty as good oysters would be.
Next was an interesting take on sea urchin in an edible wrapper, with heirloom tomatoes, cantaloupe and shiso. At first glance, it looked like there were too many things on the plate to distract the sweetness of the creamy delicacy but put everything together, we still got the freshness of the seafood complimented by whatever was on the plate. A good start.
David Chang is well known for his love with pork and him being a Korean means putting both together in an apple kimchi and bacon side if you would. Not as pungent and tarty as traditional kim chi would be for the purists but you can see why people can get so worked up over his style of cuisine.
In Italy, you eat prosciutto, In USA, you eat ham. Served alongside some bread and a savoury coffee paste that tasted more like toast. We all agreed that the ham was way too salty for our liking (personal preference).
What we were all waiting for, the infamous Momofuku steam buns - pork belly, cucumbers, scallions and hoisin sauce. I can see why this was so famous back in the day with the locals but since young, we have been dipping man taos in braised pork sauce and eating it with pork ribs / belly, so this was nothing special. Matter of fact, we couldn't detect the hoi sin sauce and the chilli sauce didn't exactly make it better.
I vaguely remember this as an off cut piece of pork but was impressed how it turned out to be so elegant; slow cooked and deep fried, genius.
A staple Korean product, duboki or rice cakes. Deep fried here and tossed along with some spicy sausages and sprinkled with plenty of fried shallots. This dish was moreish despite the fact that it was rather fiery too.
Somewhat disappointed at the server's suggestion of the whole fish; porgy (sea bream) with fish stock and topped with a myriad of vegetables. The fish stock tasted more like a watered down soya sauce dressing that we get when you order steam fish in a chinese restaurant. While the toppings was refreshing, light and a hint of citrus, it didn't do enough to lift the dish beyond average.
So dinner didn't exactly end on a high note. Did I think it was worth the #38 spot in the world 50? No. Would I queue hours? No.
However given that we barely had to wait 5 minutes for our table, had a good time, left the place, paying around 40 dollars a person and the right to boast that I have dined in one of David Chang's restaurant, I would still come again in a heartbeat (but be a little tactical with the dishes).
Address and contact details:
Verdict: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. I guess the closest thing we have got in Melbourne in terms of style (and that I have been to) is Huxtable or to a certain extent a Korean version of Chin Chin. If I have to compare, Momofuku Ssam on some levels were heaps better (thinking the sea urchin and the off cut pork) while I definitely had a better cod dish in Huxtable (compared to the steam porgy). To each its own.

Guided by Science
We're united by nature, and guided by science. Learn
The Charles Hulme Foundation of Great Bend has given $100,000 to The Nature Conservancy in Kansas, for the Our Kansas Prairie Legacy: The Next Steps capital campaign. The donation is a lead gift in the campaign and will be used to protect and improve wetland habitats across Kansas, including at Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve.
The Nature Conservancy in Kansas launched the fundraising campaign in late 2011 to expand conservation efforts across the state, with emphasis on the prairie ranges of the Flint Hills, Red Hills, and western Kansas as well as on the wetlands and streams of Kansas. The Conservancy's work relies on strong partnerships with private landowners that produce lasting, large-scale conservation gains, as well as benefits to people and communities. The campaign has received gifts and pledges of nearly $4,000,000 toward the $5,000,000 goal.
"As we wind down the Charles Hulme Foundation, we hand off a legacy of conservation to a next generation. We are fortunate to see ahead the many young faces who renew a trust passed forward from their predecessors," said Elizabeth L. Turner, foundation trustee.
A large portion of the Charles Hulme Foundation gift will be used for the purchase of heavy equipment to undertake the removal of invasive trees and other wetland restoration at Cheyenne Bottoms. Cheyenne Bottoms, located in central Kansas near Great Bend, is one of the most important inland marshes in North America, attracting tens of thousands of shorebirds and nearly a quarter million waterfowl annually. The 41,000-acre Cheyenne Bottoms complex is one of only 34 U.S. sites designated a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. The American Bird Conservancy and the National Audubon Society have both selected Cheyenne Bottoms as a Globally Important Bird Area, and the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network named the Bottoms a Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve. The Nature Conservancy owns and manages the 7,694-acre Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve adjacent to the 19,857-acre state-owned Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area.
Charles Hulme, born in the 1890s, was a Great Bend businessman active in 'citizen science,' a concept that recruits public participation in scientific research. Hulme voluntarily served on the Kansas Fish, Game and Forestry Commission for over four decades. At the height of the Depression, Hulme advocated for the protection of Cheyenne Bottoms, eventually helping the state acquire the nearly 20,000 acres that is today managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. The Nature Conservancy began purchasing land at Cheyenne Bottoms in the late 1980s in order to expand the conservation of this natural wonder.
"This gift is a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his time and resources to improving the natural world of Kansas. I would urge everyone this spring to visit Cheyenne Bottoms, a place where birds outnumber people and you can quietly observe one of the best phenomena of nature," commented Rob Manes, State Director for The Nature Conservancy in Kansas.
Peak migratory season for shorebirds is late April to late May when nearly 600,000 shorebirds from 39 species pass through the Bottoms. Visitors to Cheyenne Bottoms can expect to see species like Wilson's phalarope, long-billed dowitcher, white-rumped sandpiper, Baird's sandpiper, and stilt sandpiper. Whooping cranes have also been seen at Cheyenne Bottoms during their fall and spring migrations. Peak time to view waterfowl like mallards and blue-winged teal starts in early March. Cheyenne Bottoms is located near Great Bend and is open all year round. Information about the Bottoms, driving directions, and the location of a public observation area are available at two information kiosks located at intersection of U.S Highways 56 and 281 and Highway 4 two miles east of Hoisington. Visitors are also encouraged to visit the Kansas Wetlands Education Center, a gateway to one of the world's best wetlands.
The Nature Conservancy in Kansas was established in 1989. With more than 6,500 members, it has conserved nearly 100,000 acres in the state. Learn more at www.nature.org/kansas.
The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, we create innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world's toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. We are tackling climate change, conserving lands, waters and oceans at unprecedented scale, and helping make cities more sustainable.

I find it useful, from time to time, to put aside short-term, tactical matters and take a big step back to reflect on the work we do, why we do it, and the moment in history we live in. It can be difficult in today's 24-hour, nonstop, always-on environment, but I was reminded of the bigger picture on a recent visit to Colombia.
A group of us, including four volunteer board members of Grameen Foundation, were in Antioquia, a largely mountainous area in the northwestern part of the country. Grameen Foundation has been working there with farmer cooperatives and other organizations to help smallholder coffee farmers earn more from their land by creating farm management plans and undergoing individualized training and certifications that give them access to larger markets.

/// No Ratings Glitter for CBS' Golden Boy
A special premiere of CBS' midseason cop show Golden Boy showed little luster Tuesday night, drawing 10.5 million viewers and an unremarkable 1.8 rating in the 18-49 demo. According to preliminary Nielsen estimates, while Golden Boy improved on the 1.5 rating time slot occupant Vegas posted last week, the newcomer also lost a lot of ground as the hour wore on. After opening to 11.4 million viewers and a 2.0, the premiere lost nearly 2 million viewers and 20 percent of its demo deliveries in the final half-hour. CBS guarantees against the adults 25-54 demo. By that benchmark, Golden Boy put up a 2.7 rating, up 13 percent from the 2.4 Vegas delivered on Feb. 19. Despite an enviable lead-in—Golden Boy bowed out of NCIS: Los Angeles, which drew 16.8 million viewers, a 2.9 rating among adults 18-49 and a 4.2 in CBS's dollar demo—the rookie series retained only 64 percent of the previous hour's target demo. Lukewarm deliveries aside, Golden Boy still made short work of its 10 p.m. competition, out-distancing ABC's Body of Proof (6.31 million viewers, 1.2 rating) and NBC's imperiled Smash (2.99 million, 0.9). After one additional Tuesday night airdate, Golden Boy on March 8 will move to its regular Friday 9 p.m. slot, where it replaces CSI: NY. CBS opened the season with the legal drama Made in Jersey occupying the time slot; two episodes into its run, the freshman series was yanked after averaging 7.3 million viewers and a 1.0 in the 18-49 demo.

I love to travel—to experience the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, traditions, and attitudes of someplace new. I've been all over the USA, and in my lifetime I've been lucky enough to spend time in England, Italy, France, and a few other countries in Europe, but there's always more I want to do. I get the travel bug on a regular basis, but these days there are some downsides. Money and time are tight; flying is a hassle; gas prices are going up again; it seems sometimes it's easier to just stay put.
Fortunately I've found a much easier and cheaper way to experience another place, and that is to go there by way of a great book or DVD. I love to find an author who makes me feel like I've been transported to some other locale, whether it's a fast-paced thriller set in Brazil, a cozy mystery set in Pennsylvania, or a nonfiction work about Pompeii. Many years ago when I moved to Maryland from the West Coast, one of the first books I read was James Michener's Chesapeake. As a newcomer to this state, it helped me understand the lay of the land and also the history of the area. More than two decades later I picked it up again, and found that it was still satisfying and informative.
In fact, I find that reading about historical events is a wonderful way to "time travel." There are lots of great historical fiction books, but my preference is nonfiction. One of my favorites is The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Not only does it provide keen insight into the mindset of the people in the years leading up to the American Revolution, but he also gives us glimpses into what daily life was really like in those days. Here's one such passage:
"Our city [Philadelphia], tho' laid out with a beautiful regularity,…had the disgrace of suffering those streets to remain long unpav'd, and in wet weather the wheels of heavy carriages plough'd them into a quagmire, so that it was difficult to cross them; and in dry weather the dust was offensive. I had liv'd near what was call'd the Jersey Market, and saw with pain the inhabitants wading in mud while purchasing their provisions."
Other books may plop you down in the middle of a dust bowl storm, or lift you up to the top of a mountain peak in the Himalayas. There's no limit to the places you can go.
And what about other ways of traveling? Maybe you want to visit places that don't exist anymore, or never existed? Where else in the world or in your imagination do you want to go?

Greece! My fantasy getaway has always been Greece–ancient history never looked so good. I don't imagine there could be a more beautiful shade of blue than the Mediterranean Sea. I'll get there one day!

I never liked history class as a kid, but I've found good historical fiction and biographies to be thorough and enjoyable teachers. From works like the un-put-downable Snowflower and the Secret Fan (about 19th century China) to the awesome John Adams DVDs, the library has helped me to fill in the gaps…

Beach Vacation Rental Suggestions-South Carolina
I would like to go to South Carolina either Edisto Beach, Hunting Island or Myrtle Beach in October. We have a travel trailer, but I sorta like the idea better of having our GS crated in a house vs. a trailer if we wanted to do some sightseeing. I am afraid of leaving her alone in the trailer, which we have never done, in case she starts barking for any reason if we crated and left her behind. We really want to do outdoor activities like fishing and crabbing and take her with us, but it would be nice to go out for a fresh seafood dinner if we chose to.
I have never been to any of these communities and was hoping to get some advice. It would be just my husband and I, who are in our 50's, on this vacation. The rental prices are really high, so maybe making a reservation with our trailer at a state park would be the way to go.
I'm just starting the process you are already on...
So far, everywhere we go in the motor home. the dog goes. Fortunately, she's completely at ease...hangs outside with us calmly while we relax. We also bring a small boat as we enjoy cruising the lakes and fishing etc.....once again the dog is completely mellow aboard.
However, I considered exactly what you are asking.."what if". We have a large crate we carry with us and I have yet to use it in the motor home. If I did, I brought blankets to cover most of it and of course would obscure any views which would bring any motion from outside to her. But my problem is, if it's hot..it means I am relying on the A/C to keep her comfortable...and I am a worrywart...don't know if I trust an RV A/C and a RV park's electrical system.
Anyway, test your dog out in the crate....start easy....later make some noises outside where she can hear you and see how she does. Do this before you hit the road...
Oh, I've never used a crate before this ( 3 GSDs over the years )....but I was surprised test running the motor home experiment and it seemed pretty good. Taking the visual stimuli out of the equation makes a difference....but these GSDs sure have good hearing.......maybe some music for her..who knows???
Are you set on SC? I went to the outer banks (kitty hawk) beginning of last May and had a blast with my 2 dogs. I was actually there for continuing education but got a full week 4 bedroom house rental right on the beach for <$1000 including the dog fees. If you go back a row or 2 of houses, they will be even cheaper but still a very short walk. There were very few people on our beach the entire week. We basically had a big section all to ourselves. The mal only ran off once after some guys playing football (and stole the ball), they were probably 50-60 feet away from us, so that was pretty good for the week :rolleyes:
I have pictures showing our beach and how un-crowded it was if you are interested in going there. Lots of seafood restaurants. We had a good time driving right on the less developed beach of corolla too, which is where they have wild horses. Very few people out there and even cheaper rental houses, but you need a 4-wheel drive.
Well, we live in middle GA and SC is a 4-5 hour drive as it is. I would love to go to some place closer, but I have found that the majority of beaches here in GA and FL do not allow dogs. I have learned the state parks in SC are more flexible. when it comes to pets.
Tosca is crate trained at home, but we have never put her in one while camping. There was never a need because we took her everywhere and we usually stayed at the campsite.
Another reason for considering a rental is that we have parrots and may take them with us. They, too, make noise whenever strangers pass their territory. am afraid of being evicted either from having a barking dog or loud birds. The possibility of A/C going out in the trailer is another concern even though our trailer is practically new, but you never know.
Comparing prices of a vacation rental versus our travel trailer is a no brainer. lol. I also got to thinking that pet friendly houses may have fleas from previous guests.
Mitchell's SandCastles Sanibel Island Vacation Destination
I "think" this is the cottage we stayed in: http://www.mitchellssandcastles.com/vrnumber3.cfm
I have always wanted to go to Sanibel Island, but wonder if with all the shells on the beach, they would cut doggy paws.
Yeah ... there are ton of seashell down there. Maybe I've been lucky ... no cut pads ... but my guys are walked on lead ... have seen people letting their dogs run and play ball or frisbee, run at large and haven't heard of cut pads but who knows??? Anyway, I love it down there.
Maybe one day I will make it down there. It would be over 6 hours to drive. Longer with a trailer.
Have you thought about Jekyll Island (or St. Simons Island, there may be others) ... it's in your neck of the woods. I've been to Jekyll Island a few times, haven't been there in a while but it was dog friendly last time I was up that way.
Thanks! :)

Outside Area: There are various outside dining and relaxing areas
Sunbathe by the private pool in the peace and quiet amongst the olive groves of Tijola, near Orgiva, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Enjoy the wonderful sunsets and star gaze at night, wtih a glass of wine after enjoying a BBQ. Buy your vegetables and fresh fish from the small local market town of Orgiva. Visit the white washed Berber villages which cling to the southern slopes of Spain's highest mountain range or visit the Alhambra Palace and go shopping or eat out in the famous city of Granada. Recently described by Chris Stewart in his best selling book 'Driving Over Lemons' this rural area offers peace and tranquillity with easy access to the bars, restaurants and supermarkets in Orgiva. Just 1 hour south of Granada and 1 hr 40 mins east of Malaga, with the coast and golf only 35 mins away and skiing in the winter, just 1 hour 15 mins, the villa has been designed with the 16th century Alhambra Palace in mind, but with all the luxuries and comforts of the 21 century. We live next door so any questions or problems please just knock on the door.
Nigel and I (Zoe) met in 1998 and realised that we both had a desire to live in the sun. We started looking for our dream place in the year 2000. The minute we discovered this beautiful area of Spain, we knew that this is where we wanted to be. We bought the property in 2003 and spent the next 3 years renovating it to bring it up to date. We wanted to make sure that it was updated to a high level of comfort. We have been pleased with the comments people have given us about how much they have enjoyed the property. As we live next door we are always on hand to fix any problems as soon as possible.
Zoe Cawthorn purchased this villa in 2003
The location and views were what attracted us to the property! We knew that we would be renovating any property that we bought, so our main concern was the views and the location. Just two and a half kilometres from the market town of Origva and with spectacular views of the mountains, we find that everyone who stays here loves it. Some of the best walking areas of Europe are all around. It is so easy to access so many places from here - the beach 30 mins drive and the ski resort of the Sierra Nevada just over an hours drive away. It is so easy to access motorways to visit Granada, the coast, Cordoba and Sevilla. The mountain villages are within easy reach - the property ideally located for most things.
The house is surrounded by olive groves, orange and lemon trees, avacado and pomigranate trees. The water system that the Moors introduced still runs down from the Sierra Nevada mountains to this day, which means the area is unusually green for Spain. We had a blank canvass when we bought this house so after visiting Granada and Morocco many times, we gave it the style that is so right for this area - the last place the Moors lived before returning back to Morocco. You will see some of the features that we have put in, on the website, but you will see many more when you visit the house. We brought many pieces of furniture from Morocco including a fountain which is in the small courtyard.
Dear Nigel and Zoe
A large thank you for our lovely and relaxing holiday. From the luxury of the villa to the beauty of the garden, we can't imagine a better place for Nayana to have had her first holiday abroad. It has been completely stress-free as she has settled so well here, thoroughly enjoying splashing in the pool.
We shall miss the jasmine filled air, star filled skies and the only "noise' being the birdsong.
It has felt like a real haven.
We will certainly recommend this home from home to all our friends.
Hope to be back here again one day.
With kind wishes and fond memories
Christmas, Easter and Spanish Fiestas are classed as Peak Season.
A cleaning fee of 40 Euros will be charged for reservations of less than a week.
An extra person will be charged at 10 Euros per night
Nigel and Zoe give this property their personal touch which is apparent throughout the villa and indeed the holiday experience there. The Villa is well situated and their local knowledge and helpfulness is first class.
I could not rate this high enough and would have no hesitation in going back or recommending to anyway.
Guys, thank you so much for a great holiday experience.
We found Villa Castano to be a wonderful enjoyable place to relax and unwind. The location was perfect for us away from hustle and bustle but only a short drive away to the local town to enjoy eating out or just to sit and have a coffee and watch the world go by. The villa was immaculate, well maintained and had everything we needed.
Zoe and Nigel made us very welcome and I would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends and relatives and have in fact already done so.
If you're after a little seclusion with a beautiful view and everything you could possibly need for a week of peace then this is the place to be. With a great supermarket just 10 minutes drive you can stock up for the week and not have to leave the villa if this takes your fancy. Myself and my partner made the most of the BBQ and private pool and totally relaxed. Zoe was fantastic before and during our stay.
Lots to do around Orgiva in the cooler months I would definitely look to go back!
We stayed in the Villa which was a nice change of pace from Granada. Orgiva is a small town but it is relaxing and the Villa was wonderful. We would highly recommend this place for anyone traveling in the area.
We (family with 2 kids of 11 and 13 y) spent 2 weeks in October 2015 in villa Castano. The villa was well equipped (especially the dish washer is not found that often in other properties) and clean, everything was in good condition. We enjoyed relaxing in the quiet garden or jumping into the pool after some trips in the surroundings. We had our meals on the terrace all days.
Zoe and Nigel are very kind, all conversation and arrangements took place without any problems.
If you are looking for a quiet and undisturbed holiday we can definitely recommend it !
Absolutely loved this place was there with my husband and 2 boys aged 12 and 10. We stayed in the apartment which was spotless, very comfortable and felt just like home. Outside the views were amazing a great place to unwind. The boys loved the pool and the ping pong and we all had a great nights sleep. Would love to stay there again Zoe and Nigel were so welcoming and helpful it was great and thanks to them
Whilst not being a large town Orgiva, capital of the Alpujarras holds a weekly market in the town. There are many tapas bars, restaurants and small supermarkets. There are also 2 health food shops and a herbalist pharmacy. Enjoying many fiestas throughout the year, this is very much a Spanish town.
Lanjaron is a spa town, where the Spanish have enjoyed spa treatments for over 100 years. The minerals found in the different waters are said to be an aid for any number of ailments. Visit the fascinating city of Granada with its spectacular Alhambra Palace, and the old Moorish quarters of the Albaicin. Shop in the town centre or just enjoy the hustle and bustle of the street restaurants and cafés in this ancient student city.
Just 35 mins away are the relaxing beaches of the Costa Tropical. The white villages built by the Moors have a charm and style unique to this area. Spend the day visiting different villages and discovering some of the local crafts, still practiced in the region.
Other Activities: Petanque/Boules, table-tennis and badminton facilities all available at the villa

The Granary is a delightful bijoux cottage in the beautiful Conwy Valley. Sleeping three in two linked rooms this house certainly is a romantic spot to visit for a couple or a small family. The house makes up part of a cluster of houses all available as holiday lets. The Granary is the smallest of the three and it boasts lots of charm and character. A wonderful spot for a holiday!
There is much to do here, whether it's walking around the 33 acres of private land and exploring the paths and woodlands, walking over the field to the local pub, or going further afield towards some of the many tourist attractions in the surrounding area. Bodnant Gardens is well worth a visit and is just 10 mins drive by car from The Granary. Conwy town, a UNESCO world heritage site is also close by and with it's a many artisan shops and eateries it draws visitors from all over the world. The Granary is located in the Snowdonia National Park and is not far from Mt Snowdon. The highest peak in Wales.
Bedrooms: 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor. Both linked through an open door way. One double bedroom and one single bedroom. There is a travel cot and spare single bed in one of the double bedrooms for guests to make use of.
Bathrooms: 1 downstairs shower room with loo, sink and walk in shower.
Kitchen: Well-equipped fitted kitchen with a dining table. The kitchen is equipped with an electric hob, electric cooker, dishwasher, microwave, fridge with icebox.
Sitting Room: Comfy seating for all guests, TV, DVD, Music system.
Dining: The dining table is in the kitchen and provides comfortable dining facilities for all guests
Garden: There is a sitting area to the rear of the house and guests also have access to the 33 acres of surrounding meadows and woodland which belongs to the owners. There are paths to follow and lots of places to explore or have a picnic.
Heating: Gas central heating.
Parking: There is off road parking in a private parking area close to the house.
Changeover Day: Friday, Saturday and Monday
Beautiful setting with views all around. New owners, but the cottage was very clean and they were on hand with any information we wanted about the area. We found it very relaxing, but there is a lot to see and do in that part of North Wales. We enjoyed Conwy and there is ample parking in the town. Yes, I would recommend this holiday to a friend.
We arrived just as the new owners themselves were moving in. They were extremely hospitable and helpful despite the pressures on themselves in just moving.
However, the downstairs was tired, suggesting the previous owners had decided not to invest anything before their departure. The kitchen units needed attention and some utensils looked worn out, particularly the cutlery.
The downstairs toilet/washroom needed better lighting while some parts of decor looked like retrievals from a car boot sale!
The website also claimed the cottage had internet. For us, access to 3G is not the same as full internet access, and this claim should be amended
However, the upstairs bedrooms were fine. Clean and comfortable
Despite this would still recommend the cottage as we feel sure that the new owners will improve things.
This was a great break in a lovely setting. Great little property was comfortable and well equipped the only down points for use would be The kitchen units are well used and need some attention (door's badly fitting & fridge hard to close ) and that for us it would be a lot more useful to have a dishwasher instead of a washer dryer ( which we never used ). Only sore the owner once on te day we were leaving but as we did not need them this was fine they were around if we had needed them but they just left us to it which was great.
Lovely peaceful location, a great cottage with everything you need included. Hosts very welcoming and friendly and we would definitely stay again. Always such a plus when your dog is allowed too.
Local pub is good for food and the overall location is great for the avid walker.
The only thing we would have liked is wifi.
Very homely cottage with lovely owners on hand if/when you need them.
Ye Old Bull' pub 700m away was good for food and the location is ideal for avid hill walkers. Thoroughly enjoyed our week, your own place to park and we would definitely stay again at 'The Granary'.
A lovely cottage, big enough for my husband and our young daughter. The surroundings and view were amazing, with sheep, ducks, birds and squirrels all visible from the cottage. Good facilities and friendly owner with loads to do in the local area, we loved it.

Actual Scenario Found On The Web.
I live in L.A., and I like to ride my bike to work, which is only about three miles away.
Unfortunately, to do so I have to go through the "bad part" of town. Not only is it graffiti city, it's also mugger central.
For this reason, I always carry a concealed and licensed revolver. One day, a mugger charges out of an alley beside the street, which is empty except for me.
He is about 50 feet away and quickly closing...this guy could run!
He had a nasty looking club in his right hand.
My speed and his angle were such that I knew I couldn't outrun him. So I stopped the bike, rolled off the seat behind the bike and drew the revolver.
I always fill my revolver with soft lead points.
Fully jacketed rounds tend to penetrate very deep at incredible velocity, causing damage that is usually fatal.
Soft points penetrate only about an inch and expand, stopping quickly.
This causes incredible pain but is rarely fatal.
I saw a guy on here say that it is wise to kill an attacker if you must shoot him. That's not true at all.
Anyway, the guy keeps coming, as if he thinks he's bulletproof.
I fire a round into his stomach. He cries in pain but keeps coming, a little slower.
This guy's tough.
Two more rounds and he's on the ground, unconscious.
I called the police on my cellular immediately, also requesting paramedics.
I didn't want to hurt this guy in the first place; now I could at least get him to a hospital.
There happened to be a witness, a poor but honest teenager who I didn't see walking bye.
He saw the whole thing, and with his greatly appreciated help I got out of court with no legal trouble whatsoever.
The guy lived, is now in jail, and I suffered no emotional or legal troubles that would be experienced if I had killed him, using conventional fully-jacketed rounds.
What's the moral of the story?
If you want personal defense, carry a small revolver with soft-point rounds.
They have fantastic "stopping power" but will almost never kill a person.
Sometimes it is wise to load two chambers with fully-jacketed rounds so that you have extra power if necessary.
This is one of the advantages of revolvers: it is possible to strategically load the chambers with different types of rounds, then quickly select a type appropriate to the application.
I don't recommend carrying blanks, either.
They will fend off many criminals, but as in my case some seem to think they are invincible.
When they find out you have blanks, they will hasten the attack with even less fear and you will be helpless.
Carry soft-points and shoot them up in the air if you think only a scare will be necessary.
If this fails, it usually takes only 1 or 2 rounds to stop a criminal.
As we all know, the in a self defense situation, the goal is not to kill the attacker, but to do whatever it takes to stop the impending attack.
Many times, this results in the death of the attacker.
Full metal jacket rounds tend to over-penetrate while jacketed hollow points and (to a lesser degree) soft points tend to expand causing a larger wound cavity, greatly increasing the chance of stopping the attack and decreasing the possibility of over-penetration.

15 Jul First commercial wave power plant opens
The new plant works with the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) technology of Voith Siemens Hydro's Scottish subsidiary Wavegen, where it has been successfully field tested for seven years. Mutriku Harbour stands in a small natural bay, in an area regularly hit by Biscay storms, which over the years have damaged the piers in the harbour and caused major instability and choppy seas in the channel leading into the harbour and the inner docks. This choppiness, combined with the narrowness of the harbour mouth has often made it hazardous or even impossible for boats to enter the harbour. To address this problem, the Basque Government's Directorate of Ports and Maritime Affairs examined no fewer than 17 different alternatives for layouts, including extending the existing breakwater, building an outer breakwater or a submerged breakwater, among others.
The project finally approved and put out to tender involved a detached breakwater approximately 440m in length with a pierhead at either end. The breakwater is accessed by way of a path some 370m long, protected by rockfill. The breakwater is sloped, with a concrete haunch and masonry facing running along the entire length. With the initial project defined, and as part of an overall strategy of developing renewable energy sources, the Basque Government's Department of Transport and Public Works signed a collaboration agreement with the Ente Vasco de la Energía, the Basque energy board to take advantage of construction of this infrastructure to install an ocean energy generation plant.
With the design completed for a breakwater to resolve problems of access to the harbour at Mutriku, the Basque Government's Department of Transport and Public Works contacted EVE to examine the possibility of taking advantage of the construction work to introduce some form of wave-based power generating arrangement. Given that the project was at an advanced state of definition, there were two initial conditions. The proposed solution should not interfere with the breakwater's primary function, to improve sea access to the port, and the design of the breakwater should not suffer too many alterations. It emerged that OWC (Oscillating Water Column) technology could be incorporated into the design of the breakwater. The OWC devices are simple and non-disruptive. They use the oscillating movement of the waves and it is not actually the seawater itself that moves the turbines. The turbines never come into contact with the water.
The arrangement consists of a hollow structure, open to the sea below water level with a hole at the top of the chamber. When the wave comes in, the water enters the chamber, compressing the air inside which is pushed out at high pressure through an opening at the top. This pressurised air turns the turbine, which in turn drives the alternator, generating electricity. When the wave falls, it sucks air through the same opening, again driving the turbine which continues to generate electricity. The fact that it is the air and not the water that moves the turbine considerably extends the service life of the equipment. "Mutriku is a milestone in the history of wave energy, said Dr. Hubert Lienhard, president and CEO of Voith Siemens Hydro. "We are proud that the first breakwater wave energy plant will rely on Wavegen's technology".
The new project sees the integration of 16 Wells turbines into Mutriku's new breakwater. Voith Hydro's wave power technology can be deployed in new and existing breakwaters, and in purpose-built structures. The worldwide potential of the ocean energies is an estimated 1.8 terawatts and still remains largely untapped.

It's a fascinating moment in history, and Mann captures the cars, the guns and the buildings with painstaking, immersive authenticity. Then he has cameraman Dante Spinotti shoot it in widescreen digital video (with white-out windows it looks deliberately 'digital' too), so creating a '30s crime flick with an in-the-moment immediacy quite unlike other period reconstructions. We're right there on the running board as the getaway cars screech down the streets…
Impressive though it is, the film would be more thrilling if we had any genuine emotional connection to the characters. We end up knowing more about the social and political context for the crime spree than we do about the motivations of the key players: Depp's Dillinger is driven by some generalised desire to escape, his moll Marion Cotillard merely sketched in, Christian Bale's square-jawed lawman Melvin Purvis implacable in carrying out his duties. Elliot Goldenthal's orchestral score strikes up to suggest some tragedy unfolding, but we're just not swept up in it – and the Bush-era resonance in the human-rights questions posed by the feds' brutal tactics isn't sufficient compensation.
As in Mann's 'Miami Vice', there's a worrying feeling that the movie's just skating over our feelings without really gathering much traction. It's an event movie, of course, yet as Mann continues to lock himself into handheld DV mode, it does seem as if much of the poise and nuance has gone out of his filmmaking.

As someone who grew up in Indiana not far from Dillinger's home, he was someone I have always heard and read about. As a journalist, I did stories with the man who put together the collection of Dillinger items that Depp and Mann studied while making the movie. I loved the movie and I think it was far more truthful than many critics have indicated. Dillinger was a poor Hoosier who learned social skills from the movies. I think Depp's portrayal was much like many desparate mid-western young men of the time. Life was brutal and it created brutal individuals. Life was moment to moment, without plan or thought beyond the next few hours. I think with Billie, Dillinger wondered for a moment if something else was possible. As he sat in the movie on the night he died, I suspect he realized it was not.
'Violence is as American as blueberry pie', and this film is yet another illustration of that saying. Factually, the film is nearly 100% accurate. Emotionally, it completely misrepresents Dillinger in the interests of pandering to that combination of sentimentality and admiration of brute force that makes up the dark underside of the American psyche. Dillinger, a bully as a child and a sociopath as an adult, is portrayed as – well, really quite a nice guy. The director represents this serial whoremaster as touchingly devoted partner to his rather sweet girlfriend 'Billie'. The fact that, as the film correctly states, Dillinger was finally gunned down after an evening out with a couple of prostitutes, might seem to some of us to be at odds with that image. But director Mann, for whom 'irony' is evidently what you do to remove creases from a shirt, takes this all in his stride, leaving us with the only factual inaccuracy of the film: Dillinger's 'last words' (never actually uttered) for Billie, delivered by one of the G-men in a cloyingly sickly final scene. In a further unconscious irony, the man who orchestrated the manhunt for Dillinger, Melvin Purvis, is portrayed here as the real psychopath. He is humourlessly stated to have died by his own hand in 1960, and we are presumably meant to believe that his inner demons finally destroyed him, and that Dillinger's romantically free spirited attitude to life is best after all. The facts that Purvis was treated abominably by the jealous Hoover after his success with Dillinger, and that his shooting was probably an accident with a faulty firearm, are ignored in the interests of this shoddy piece of posthumous public relations. The take home lesson? Watch the film, and understand how it is that the US can continue to admire and support the gang of sociopaths currently running the state of Israel.
I was looking forward to the movie and went to see it before reading this review. I have to say that the review is spot on although perhaps a touch too positive. The film is very dull and it is impossible to become emotionally attached to any character. It is overly long, and could easily have been cut by half an hour by just reducing the number of scenes with guys just pointlessly shooting at one another without any success at all for hours on end. As with most Mann films, it looked great but was so far up its own backside, the characters and story got completely lost.
I thought this film was pretty good; Johnny Depp oozes charm, Marion Cotillard looks stunning and the sets seemed authentic. As for the charge that the characters lacked depth, I think we saw enough to know that Dillinger lived for the present and made the most of it, whereas Agent Purvis probably lived with his mother and drank nothing stronger than milk. The film is a tad overlong; otherwise, well worth seeing. My wife enjoyed it, too.
I won't deny that I was a little disappointed with the movie. the script was made up with alot of small talk, and the relationship between John Dillinger and whatever the girl was called was very unbelievable, by which I mean it's not likely the girl would fall for a man who immediatly says he's a very famous and possobly dangerous theif.
This bears many similarities with Mann`s classic `Heat` but isn`t in the same league as that benchmark. . There is precious little depth to any of the characters, with Purvis and Baby Face Nelson, in particular, criminally under-developed. The action sequences are outstanding, as impressive as anything you will ever see in a cinema, but this could have been so much more with an improved script and richer characterisation.
I have been a fan of Michael Mann since I saw his first film, "Thief", way back in 1981. I have to admit his later efforts such as "Collateral" and "Miami Vice" have left me wanting a return to the days of "Heat" when he reached the height of his powers. So is "Public Enemies" a return to these heights? I would have to say Not Quite. This is not to say that PE is not a good film, it is. It is just lacking the sense of grandeur and style of his earlier works. The portrayal of Dillinger by Depp is very good. The sense of his recklessness and pure "adrenaline junky" attitude comes across well. He revels in his reputation, living a life of anti-stardom almost akin to the screen gangsters of the films of the era he so obviously enjoys. Bale on the other hand is so bland as to almost disappear. This lad needs to seriously lighten up a little, as his screen performances are becoming so dull as to be lifeless. The films action set pieces are very well done but then one does expect this of a director with Manns reputation. His legendary attention to detail all to evident from the clothes worn to the weapons used. This has become a Mann trademark. However the story takes some major liberties with history. "Pretty Boy Floyd" did die at the hands of a unit lead by Purvis but this was several months after Dillinger. Homer van Meter (Dorff) died in an alleyway in St Paul Minnesota after a brief gunfight with Police, also after Dillinger. Lester "Baby face nelson" Gillis also died some months after Dillinger in a shootout with FBI agents. To show them dieing in the FBI shootout at the Little Bohemia Lodge was really playing fast and loose with the facts. In fact the only people apprehended there by Purvis and his men were the gangs girlfriends. It was a monumental failure for Purvis whis resulted in the deaths of three innocent men in the car that was leaving and was fired upon. A moment shown in the film but never made quite clear as to what had happened. So how should PE be judged? As a totally accurate biopic of Dillinger it fails on some counts but scores well on others such as the portrayal of the escape from the Crown Point jail in Indiana using a wooden "gun" and the media circus surrounding him at the time. But his foray into the Dillinger Unit office at the Police Hq is pure fiction and I thought a scene that could easily have been left out of the film. Did I enjoy it? ( because it reads like I didn't doesn't it). Yes I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was filmed on digital and this has been much maligned by critics and although I thought it gave the film a "you are there" look to it I would prefer the classic look that his look that his cinematographer Dante Spinotti showed in such mann films as "Manhunter" and "The Last of the Mohicans". As said the action pieces are excellent, the pacing is good and the characters come across well. It does show the naive ineptitude of the fledgling FBI very accurately (Yes they really were that bad!). So all in all a bit of a mixture with the result coming out as being very good. If you know anything about Dillinger you may be left a little disappointed. If you go to it wanting a rattling good crime epic showing how insane the the early '30s crime wave was, then you'll enjoy it. So take the Mrs and she can lust after Depp while you enjoy the firefights.
I don't agree with the reviewers comment about "skating over our feelings" and not caring for the characters, I think Marion Cotillard gives a great performance....and how fantastic is it to see a 'Donnie Brasco' style Johnny Depp again, he hasnt performed like this for so long. the look of it did take me about 5 minutes to get used to but once you're in there its unlike anything you've seen, I think embracing digital will create a new cinematic experience.
Awesome. Amazing. Fantastic. The acting by Depp abd Cotillard is top notch. At last Mann has injected some genuine emotion to counterpoint the action. Can't wait to see this again.
Saw the film earlier today. Some terrific performances and one that is not mentioned in the review is our own Stephen Graham playing Baby Face Nelson. Steals the film by far. When you look at this alongside recent menacing performances like Combo in This is England and Franner in Liverpool gangster film The Crew he has to be acknowledged as one of the UKs leading actors
Ultimately American cinema has coughed up an instant classic ending the drought for quality and quintessential stylised artistry which was a landmark for Hollywood in the 40s -60s,and it is rather surreal this exquisite endeavour is set in the post-depression america translating the story of the master criminal Dillinger ,his half breed lover BILLIE and the FBI agent on their trail across the sweeping midwest vistas which are turned into mellifluous montages of spectacular and harmoniously measured gunfights which are composed with a remarkable calm and assured style by the masterful execution of mr.Mann. This is as much about the spectacle of gratuitous violence as it is about the execution of crime and punishment with each sequence seeped in almost esoteric beauty immersed in realistic technique which transports you into the hearts and minds of each character . marion Coutillard must be the greatest actress in cinema today as she sets a standard of acting which will be difficult to match ,yet both Depp as dillinger and Bale as the rather stolid introverted purvis are hypnotic to watch . This is a fecund facade of imagination and talent that you can view as many times as you wish with equal joy and emotional satiety which is a tribute to the thirties hollywood where Gable ,Powell and Myrna loy are paid homage by a great director yet in doing so with the spectacular Selznick monochrome images he redeems modern American cinema and brings time into a full circle as every grand slam in the universe enters a cycle to repeat their rendezvous with greatness . A modern masterpiece with motion that weaves magical spells with eloquent frames that cannot be praised enough for either their expressive potential or their potent emotion .
I went to see this film today with great expectations would it be another Titanic or Pearl Harbour style film with loads of depth and would it pull me in?? Sadly No, it wasn't a bad film but it didn't involve the viewer and overall it felt like it dragged and it doesn't have very much action at all, The characters are well thought out and depp is excellent but the storyline should have been more interesting. I rate this film 2 out of 5. I feel the ending isn't very good a Romanian girl who was close to johnny would rather have a slight chance of not being deported than letting johnny die.
what the review says is very true. it's almost a 30s movie. Not much actions except for some blood, no SFX, very simple plot and story line of a police/thief story.

OK, I tried to delete my other comment. My proposal as pretty typical. He just asked me to marry him.
Clever premise. Funny how some women really want an extravagant proposal. I just proposed to my wife in our favorite restaurant. I think I've I'd done anything crazy that involved money she wouldn't been upset I didn't spend the money on something like a vacation.ReplyDelete
I think unique proposals are fun but it should be whatever fits the couple. Some do not like unique proposals so in that case it should be a typical one. This looks like a fun book.ReplyDelete
Nancy, thanks again for visiting. Your proposal theme mystery series is going to be a lot of fun to follow. Wishing you much success.
Hi all, thanks for stopping by.
Mason - Thanks for hosting Nancy.
Nancy - I think event planners probably see so much drama as they do their work that it's a really effective context for a crime series. I wish you success.
I think that the proposal should fit the couple.ReplyDelete
I prefer typical but it does depend on the couple.ReplyDelete
Sometimes being creative is enjoyable and memorable. Within limits. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)comReplyDelete
What a great concept for a series of books! I wish Nancy all the best with her new novel.

There are probably lots of cool ways a man can propose. Mine was pretty basic: He got down on his knee, pulled out the ring and said, "Well?" ;0)ReplyDelete
While part of me thinks the more creative the better, there's also a part of me that would want to retain a bit of the traditional, if not 'typical'. Ring in a dessert or glass of champagne, bordering of creative while not losing a traditional feel. Thanks for the chance to win! Looks like a great new series.ReplyDelete
I got a typical proposal on the step of the house we were building not long after the foundation had been poured. Really, I had gotten the proposal earlier, he just got on his knee and proposed again to give me an engagement ring. :-)ReplyDelete
Congrats to Nancy. I love a good cozy mystery.ReplyDelete
I like a typical proposal.
Oh, proposals should be whatever the man wants and is comfortable with :)ReplyDelete
Myself, I would prefer traditional. But hearing about the creative ones are cool, too!

Do you have enough space for a treadmill? Measure the space you have available, then check out each treadmill's size specifications -- not just the belt, but the total footprint of the machine. If you plan to walk or run at a steep incline, measure the vertical distance, too. Add your own height to make sure you have plenty of ceiling clearance. Non-folding treadmills are the sturdiest option, but a folding running deck can save valuable space in your home.
Can you handle installation and set up on your own? Some of the negative user reviews we spotted complain of assembly and set-up challenges with their treadmill. If you are not somewhat handy, buying a treadmill from a fitness store that can handle all of that for you might be a good idea. Keep in mind that a motorized treadmill can weigh a couple of hundred pounds -- and that many delivery companies will take the box only as far as your door, or in some cases the curb. If you're not sure you can handle a 200- to-300-pound box, consider paying extra for inside delivery, or again, buy from a retailer that will set up your treadmill for you.
How much do you weigh? Each treadmill has a maximum user weight limit. Make sure the heaviest person who will use the machine weighs no more than that limit, and, especially in the case of lower-end treadmills, leaving a healthy cushion is probably a good idea. If you're heavier than the treadmill's weight limit, you'll most likely void its warranty at best, and at worst risk the danger of serious injury should the treadmill structurally fail while in use.
Are you a walker or a runner? For those who plan to walk or, at most, jog, a lower-cost treadmill will usually suffice. However, running subjects a treadmill to much more stress. Look to a non-folding treadmill or a higher-quality folding model to ensure that your treadmill can take what a runner can dish out.
Consider the surface. Runners will often prefer a belt that's firm to simulate the feel of running on the road. However, a firm belt can be tougher on your joints. Most treadmills have a single comfort level, but others allow you to adjust cushioning from road hard to softer than running on grass, or have optional cushioning systems to accommodate different needs.
Are you committed to exercising regularly? A good treadmill can get expensive, and statistics show that far too many wind up as dust collectors or clothing trees. If you are just beginning an exercise regimen, buying an inexpensive treadmill as a starter machine might not be the worst idea. Ignore the fanciest, feature laden options and concentrate of finding a well put-together treadmill that will last long enough for you to be able to determine if you use it enough to graduate to a higher end machine.
No treadmill is completely maintenance-free, and some even require regular maintenance to protect the warranty. Most treadmill maintenance is relatively low-cost. Plan on adjusting bolts to keep the belt in line, vacuuming or wiping down the belt and deck, and occasionally applying lubricant. Some decks are specifically designed not to be lubricated, so check your owner's manual first for maintenance requirements and limitations. High-end treadmills with long warranties often include free, annual servicing.

Laminate Over Parquet
I'm helping a family member put laminate flooring in their foyer. Currently there is 20-year-old parquet over top of cement slab. What is the best/quickest/cheapest option. I'm hoping to not have to pull up the parquet if at all possible. Any thoughts on putting foam underlayment down before putting down the laminate? Any increase in the "height" of the floor can be resolved by using reducer thresholds. What do you all think?
Just follow the manufactures instructions.
Some brands already have a built in underlayment.
Thanks... I think the bigger question is: do you think going right over the parquet is a good idea or should I pry all of that old stuff up, first?
