wikiHow to Deal With Being Rejected by Your Parent
Rejection is terrible, no matter who is rejecting whom. When rejection comes from a parent, it is a doubly bitter pill - these are the people who gave you life, and on whom you have depended all your life. Yet, there are times when you cannot deny that you feel rejected by one or both parents, for any and all sorts of reasons. This article, although it may not be the ultimate answer to your problems, may help a bit or give some comfort.
1Find the root cause of the problem, then solve it. The best thing you need to do is approach your parent and respectfully clarify the issue. Most of the time it's not what you say, but how you say it that matters more. You have to have the courage, the right words and the self- control to not be too emotional. Tell your parent the following: I feel like you resent/reject me (cite some instances when you felt this way), I want to know if I am right about it. If so, then I want to know why you behave that way towards me. What can we do together to make things better for us? The key here is openness, respect and self-control, otherwise this conversation will turn into an ugly, fiery argument. When a parent rejects a child, it's usually a combination of reasons that causes it. Most parents, even if they are controlling, dominating, or rejecting, actually do love their children. Even if you feel that's not true of your parents, and you feel completely unloved by one or both, you are a unique and worthwhile person. Your siblings love you, your grandparents love you, your friends love you. Remember that.
2Accept that there may be little you can do about it. If your parent(s) have rejected you because you've come out as gay, because they disapprove of your choice of spouse, or because of religious differences, it's unlikely that you're going to be able to change in order to gain their approval and/or acceptance again. In these cases, time is usually the best cure - if you make yourself open to contact, but try not to force it before they are ready, they may come around eventually. Meanwhile, remember that your life is yours alone, and you are free to live it as you see fit, with or without your parents' approval or permission.
3Identify favoritism. Sometimes you feel rejected by a parent because that parent seems to favor a sibling. You are compared (usually unfavorably) to your brother or sister, and this hurts. The reality is that we all like some people better than others. While parents are supposed to love their children equally, some just can't be bothered to make an effort to understand a child that is difficult for them to read, or is so different from them personally that they find little in common. If this is the case, try not to view your siblings unfavorably, but instead simply understand that if you are going to be true to yourself, your parent may not ever be as comfortable with you as with your brother or sister. It may hurt now, but later in life, you will cherish your individuality and all that makes you a unique person, and will realize that these traits do not make you undesirable - they only make it harder for you and your parents to connect.
4Talk out your feelings. It may have been repeated many times in other sources, but it does help. Talk it out. Talk to your parents and try to root out the problem. Or talk to a sibling or a close relative. If someone is willing to talk, there is always someone willing to listen. Some of the most caring people work at Child Line, or other similar resources. It sounds drastic, but Child Line is there for any child who feels upset. You can remain anonymous and just chat with them for some friendly advice. And if you don't want to actually verbally speak, go on the internet, whether at home or at an internet cafe, and talk to people here at the Discussion Page on this article. There are even folks who are willing to chat with you through wikiHow.
5Find somewhere to stay. If you've been kicked out or you don't want to, or dare not stay at home, go to a relative's home or stay with friends if possible. It may not be permanent, but it will get you through for a time.
6Find a resolution of whatever kind is possible. Do try to sort it out with your parents. Send them a card, and/or flowers, or just go home and talk it through. Let them have their say and then have yours, but be calm, and don't be afraid to cry - crying can give you a great sense of release. Try to find common ground, and ask them how you and they can be better family to each other.
7Try to understand the dynamic from their viewpoint. This does not mean you should excuse this damaging, hurtful attitude. But it may be helpful to you to know that they may not ever really understand that how hurtful their actions are. Some parents truly are hateful, and it's a mystery why they ever had children to begin with - these people are best left alone as soon as you are able. But some parents are rejecting because you will not follow their plans for your life - they make plans for you starting from the time you are in your cradle. They believe that if you will only follow the path they have set out for you, you will avoid all hurts and be "set for life" - prosperous and "perfect." Example: If they wanted you to be a doctor, but you decided to be an artist, they may express their disappointment in their own failure to control and dictate the terms of your life by constantly carping at you about how stupid, disappointing, etc. your choices are, what a failure you are, and the like. Sometimes parents misguidedly feel that this type of censure will "jolt you into reality." They believe that this is "for your own good," and that behaving this way will "help" you to make right choices, and leave behind the supposedly wrong choices you are making. The reality is that you feel like a failure in their eyes, and feel unloved by them.
8Accept whatever relationship is possible with them. You may not have many choices until you are an adult - you may just have to try your best to endure until then. But once you are, if you have tried talking with them, and all your efforts to remedy this problem have failed, then accept whatever you can. It is pointless to berate yourself - it's not about you, it's about them. Your job in life is to be the best person you can, to experience life on your terms, and to be a kind, caring and giving friend or family member. Your job is not to try to change them, just as they should stop trying to do to you. These may not be the parents you would have wished for. Nevertheless, these are the parents you have. If you can simply understand that they will not change (just like you), then you can limit your exposure while having as good a relationship with them as possible. If your parents tend to be polite at first, and then descend, after an hour or so, into criticisms, make sure you spend no more than an hour at a time with them. Go to their home, have a drink or a snack or a cup of tea, and then say, "Well, it's been good to see you - I've got to run!" And leave before it turns unpleasant. If you know that the unpleasantness begins sooner, stay away. Call them on the phone, and as soon as criticism or berating begins, say, "Okay, Mom, well, I understand all that, but I really need to get going. See you soon." And hang up. If all contact is extremely difficult and horrible, cut them off altogether and make a new family for yourself out of friends, or another branch of the family. It's all about doing what works for you.
9Don't do anything drastic. Do not harm yourself. Self harm is NOT the answer. Do not take your anger out on someone else by harming them.
10Release anger or sadness in a productive way. If you're still a minor, consider going to a nearby youth club. Talk to the youth club owners, they'll be able to help you, and while you're at it, have some fun with some kids of your own age. If that doesn't appeal, go to a gym to work the punching bags or run around your school's or a local park's racetrack if you're not a gym member. If you enjoy writing, write your feelings out on paper, but instead of writing in first person write in third, so you refer to yourself as s/he. This takes your mind off of the anger/pain. This can also provide very good release, so write passionately and with all of your heart and soul. When done, release any leftover anger by ripping and tearing it to bits. Or release sadness by burning the paper, and sending the ashes to Heaven on the wind.
11Don't be defined by anyone's response to you. If you allow others to decide who you are, you will never be happy. You will always be aiming to please others, rather than yourself. While that may be noble and selfless, the truth is, you need to be true to your own self. If your parents don't get you, that doesn't mean your life is any less valuable or significant. You don't get certain people - they don't stop living because you and they differ on certain things. Same with you - others may have opinions. That's fine - everyone has opinions. Your opinions are just as valid as anyone else's.
12Know when to say goodbye. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you come to a point when you realize that your parents will never accept you as you are. Every encounter with them is as painful or worse than the one before, and no progress is being made at all. In these (rare) cases, you have to know when you've done all you can do, and move on with your own life. Cut contact to a minimum, or cut it off altogether. Although it's painful at first, it can be as healthy as cutting out a cancer.
- How to End a Controlling or Manipulative Relationship - While these steps are aimed at someone escaping a romantic relationship, much of the advice can be applied to a parental relationship.
13Adopt another family as your own. Many children of unloving parents find themselves having one or two wonderful friends - a great comfort in itself. But when your friend learns that going home for holidays is painful, s/he may invite you to celebrate with his/her family. If this becomes a habit, you may feel more at home with this family than you do your own. While you don't want to encroach upon your friend, many friends will consider you part of their own family, and will welcome you this way - will celebrate your milestones with you, etc. Or you may find that you meet others who have little or no family of their own, and you may form a family-like friendship. This is a wonderful way to cope with this problem.
14Have a good life. In spite of your parental units' rejection of you, you can have an excellent, productive, and rewarding life. You are awesome.
Community Q&A
- Family is where your heart is. If the family you were born with doesn't work, create one that does. Example: you are attending college. Some of your new college classmates or friends are from across the country - or another country. If your family sets your teeth on edge and you've decided to cut ties, why not consider asking your "orphan" friends (those whose families are too far away) to join you for holidays? Make your home an "open house" for Christmas or Thanksgiving, or whatever the holiday is, and invite anyone who is too far from their own family to come and spend the day with you. Even if you get together at the common room of your dorm, it can make the holidays seem much brighter and warmer.
- You have two chances to have a parent/child relationship: One, where you are the child, and the other, where you are the parent. You can make it all right by being a kind, caring, accepting parent, supportive of your own children.
- Ultimately, part of being an adult is dealing with relationships of any kind. Do the right thing for yourself. Sometimes the right thing for you right now is sucking it up and being the bigger person. Sometimes its not. Sometimes doing the right thing is removing yourself from a negative situation. Learning how to navigate and deal with people (yes, parents are people) is an acquired skill that comes with lots and lots of practice. Consult your inner self, meditate, pray to whatever you believe in, figure out what is best for you and own your decision.
- Even if you are the perfect son or daughter, your parents may still severe all contact with you. Or you could be thrown out of the house for no reason, even if you have done nothing wrong.Some parents are just like that.
- Parents like this may never approve of you, may never express pride in you or your accomplishments, may never express their love or affection to you. That does not mean you cannot find this acceptance, pride, or love elsewhere - and you should do so, by all means. Being the product of cold, critical, or controlling people does not make you so. Take a glad heart into those other relationships with people who will cherish the real and true you, and don't waste your efforts or your tears on those who will not respond to your efforts to make a good relationship out of a bad one.
- Some of the information in this article is dependent on being able to speak with your parents in a calm manner, and that they will listen and also be respectful to you. Sometimes this does not happen. If this is the case, either retreat and speak about the topic later, or learn to recognize when a parent for their own reasons isn't able to participate in a normal parental relationship. People with severe personality disorder, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses are unlikely to participate, and this could leave the adult child feeling bereft.
- If you are cut off from your parents do not keep going around to their house again and again. As they can call the police and the police can just remove you from the house. You can visit your parents once to try to talk to them. But if, however, they do not respond or refuse to open the front door to you or take your phone calls it is best to leave it and try again at a later time.
- Bear in mind that a professional person, such as your family doctor or social worker or even a priest of your local church, is not allowed to talk to your parents on your behalf, unless your parents get in touch with them themselves.This may seem unfair and does not make a lot of sense,as these people may know you well. And the rules regarding this need changing. But that's the way it is. But a friend or another relative is allowed to talk to your parents on your behalf.
- If you are over 16 in England and over 18 in the US,your parents have no legal obligation to support you or care for you. And they can choose to cut you off without any contact. As if you are over 16(in the UK) or over 18(in the US) you are classed as an adult by law. And so you are now responsible for yourself.
- Do not harm yourself or anyone else! It won't help you, if anything, it'll make things worse!

My fancy French pumpkin (Musque de Provence Pumpkin seeds from High Mowing Organic Seeds) plant officially has two pumpkins growing. I've got to recommend High Mowing Organic Seeds' site to go and see cool vegetables you may have never seen or heard of, or if you had, you may not have known their names. I will gladly accept all kinds of seeds to try and grow next season. Hint, hint. Maybe for Christmas?
I noticed the first pumpkin developing at the end of September so I'm hoping to have the first pumpkin ready around Thanksgiving. I'm not holding my breath. Luckily I adore pumpkins so much I would be happy to have one any time of year (pumpkin pie, pumpkin, bread, pumpkin scones, pumpkin soup, pumpkin curry) even if it's closer to Christmas. Maybe we'll have a Christmas pumpkin instead of a tree this year?
Perhaps next year I'll attempt to start them even earlier and hope for the best.

Buckets Of Seashells On Sanibel From Tropical Storm Debby
The seashell aftermath on Sanibel left by Tropical Storm Debby was a sight to shellebrate. Seriously… buckets of shells lined the beach surrounding the Sanibel Lighthouse.
Not only were there buckets overflowing with shells, there were shell bags upon shell bags lining the shoreline.
Okay, hold on….take a breath before I show you this next photo of the beach next to the Sanibel fishing pier. There were PEN SHELLS, FIGHTING CONCHS, LIGHTNING WHELKS, BANDED and TRUE TULIPS, HORSE CONCHS and a gazillion MILLIPEDE STARFISH. You ready?
Taylor from New York was one of the lucky shellers that found this gorgeous TRUE TULIP and lots of really nice size LIGHTNING WHELKS (4th pic from the top).
I couldn't believe it when Taylor's mom showed me an ANGELWING PAIR. Yes! I said "PAIR"! They found it right there near the pier. Awesome!
I can't tell you how much fun it was to meet Jesse from Ormond Beach, FL. He was catching fish AND catching shells!
He had buckets of shells but these were a few of his best finds of the morning… 2 awesome ALPHABET CONES, a deep orange TRUE TULIP and I hope you can tell how unusually orange his LIGHTNING WHELK is.
Jesse was shelling with his beautiful family who all found unbelievable treasures- Chris, Jamie, Jordyn, Patty, Jeese and Jake.
Eddie from Orlando, FL had lots of seashell loot as well…
He found this stunning SUNRAY VENUS along with LIGHTNING WHELKS and collected ATLANTIC GIANT COCKLES as well.
There were seashells everywhere! Sarah Elizabeth found this beautiful LIGHTNING WHELK in high tide line among the tree roots…
Ilicia (GA) wasn't just collecting shells, she had her eye on the BEACH BLING as well. She found this very cool vertebrae from some kind of marine animal.
Here's a closer look in case you might know which marine animal it came from. Cool, huh?
And Ilicia found a piece of a SEA TURTLE SHELL …
I told you she was collecting shell too, right? Yep, she found a SCOTCH BONNET…
I found Michael from Melbourne, Florida plopped down at the water's edge filling his bag with ANGELWINGS and SANIBEL SIX shells.
After Tropical Storm Debby churned the Gulf Of Mexico for 4 days, Cara from Georgia couldn't have been happier to have been on Sanibel to reap the shelling rewards of Mother Nature.
As she was hauling her buckets of seashell gold, she told me she had found a beat up JUNONIA. I had to see it. Even though it's a little rough around the edges, it's still a beautiful keeper- Congrats! Oh, and btw, I gotta get me some of that cute nail polish too!
My shelling buddy Jane found a nice HORSIE CONCH and a LIGHTNING WHELK…
Wanna see my best finds? There were gazillions of LIGHTNING WHELKS everywhere and oodles of LIVE HORSE CONCHS but I finally found a huge empty HORSIE and a pretty good size WHELK. Oh yay a, baby! It was sure worth the wait. Thanks Debby!

I am so jealous, I will be there mid sept, guess I need to pray for a big storm.
I am going to be there at the same time in September and I just said that out loud!!!
What a great post. I wish I could have gotten there earlier. It was so much fun. I love your horse conch. I thinks that's the prettiest one I've seen you find.
Thanks for the update! We'll be there Friday, and the kids are going nuts looking at these pics. Do the best spots change from day-to-day?
Hi Pam , I was planning on shooting over there early in the week but perhaps I should come tomorrow. Think it will still be incredible?
This is absolutely unbelievable!!!! I have never posted on here before, but check the blog daily! I cannot wait to be there (will be down on Saturday)!!!! I hope there are some good finds left, I'm sure there will be though!! Amazing, I'm left speechless after viewing this!!
Wow! That's a fantastic horse conch! Just beautiful and so BIG! The vertebrae is especially interesting – please let us know if you get any word about where it originated.
Wish I was there to sort through all the treasures. Will be there in person in a little over a week & can hardly wait!
I agree, that's a really pretty horse conch for its size Pam. Yes Bonnie, from why I saw in a Google search, I believe the vertebra is from a dolphin. :)
Thanks Susan!
OH……MY……GOSH!!!!! I am just sitting here in awe!!!! Holy cow!!! You guys are sooooo lucky!!!!! I hope that there are some left over when I get there next week! Wow!! I'm just speechless – I've never seen it like that before!!!
The Tulip – GORGEOUS!! I've never seen one that big before. And the vertebrae! Wow!!
Thank you for sharing, Pam!! :)
OMG!!! I am dying sitting here watching this! I had to click on every picture to see up close! Incredible finds! I would love to find a lightening whelk or horse conch that big! Do you think they will all be gone Tuesday? Will the full moon help? I think it will be a full moon on July 3rd.. I hope more shells will be rolling in. I am so sad I'm not there right now! Thanks for the wonderful post, Pam!! Sherri from MN
All of us that couldn't be in on the aftermath pickings from Debby are extremely jealous.. Nice find you lucky shellers!
Its all I can do not to jump on a plane to get to Sanibel right this minute…that picture of the pier makes me crazy with jealousy!!!!
I am right there with ya! I so wish I wasn't 8-10 hours away! What I would give to be there right now!
I am 21 hours away, i actually had to map it out, lol…..oh well!
I so wish I was there!
Yay! We hit up the lighthouse today & found some great finds too! So exciting!
You guys are so lucky – nothing much but sea beans on South Padre – except I did find a baby's ear tonight and lots of piles of little broken shells so maybe they will skirt over here in a week or so……….it always seems to help when the gulf has been churned up.
Unbelievable – what a haul! So impressive!
OH my gosh, I am so envious of everyone's finds! Just shows what good can come from every storm! One day I will make it down there to find treasures like these! Thanks so much for sharing.
I love your posts! I was eagerly awaiting the shells you would find after the tropical storm. I'm always out on the beach in Louisiana after Gulf storms looking for shells, but many of them are broken as we have so many stone breakers in place due to coastal erosion down here.
Before moving to Tn, I lived in Ft. Lauderdale and visited Sanibel often. I now live in Knoxville, and I am having shell collecting withdrawals seeing all the beautiful shells. It really is difficult not to be jealous.
My prize shell is a Junonia I found on the beach near the Castaways Resort in 1982.
OH THIS MAKES ME SICK!!!!! I want to be there so bad!!! Foot surgery prevents me from a beachy/pool summer! I am so jealous of all the shells too! I so want to be there! Best time is right after a storm! I look at your posts and wish I was there! Thanks for this blog!!!! Keep shelling!
I so wish I was there right now! Makes me sick seeing all the fun I am missing out on!
WOW! Good for everyone! In 30 plus years of visiting Sanibel, I don't think that I have ever seen anything that comes close to these photos! Thanks for sharing.
Oh WOW !!! So happy ( and ever so jealous ) for every one who got to be there in Sanibel " after " Debby , awesome shells folks ! I know if I was there now I'd be like " a blind dog in a meat house " … LOL !!! Pam , wonder how the shelling was at the Dolph , will have to contact Beth & get the scoop . Many thanks Pam for sharing the pictures , take care & happy shelling !!! Come on July 16th !!!!
"Blind dog in a meat house" LOL! Me too! Wish I coulda hopped a plane yesterday!
You know what they say: "It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good".
Storms do shellers a big favor! Even a small storm can produce good results, but a big one, well… then there is a jackpot! We can enjoy looking at the results (probably for quite a while) thanks to Pam. :)
By the way, I tried looking up that vertebra, and it seems to be from a dolphin.
LOve, Love love that vertebrea the girl found! So Freaking Cool!
Wow! This is impressive! Just one thunderstorm and a whole load of shells appear on the shore! I have tried many times to visit the beach after a storm but there seems to be none! :( Well, I guess it's just my poor luck. You know…all these post that I read seriously makes me want to live in Sanibel for like a year or two and enjoy with you guys! :) Congrats on that huge shell haul! :)
A shellers dream…that is AMAZING!! Wish I was there…happy for all of the lucky people who are there, jealous that I am not!
O…M…G!!!!!! What an awesome haul everyone has! Those shells are amazing and the pictures of the beach at the lighthouse, Pam, is simply overwhelming! I would be hyperventilating seeing all the goodies. Be still my heart. Congratulations to everyone and I say "Carry On"!!!!! Can't wait to see the next few days posts…they ought to be goodies!
Oh, and that huge Horsie, Pam, sure wish I could find one like that. Maybe next visit! Hard to plan to come when there's gonna be a storm tho'. So wonderful what the ocean stirs up, huh?
Awesome, wish I could have been there. Wonder where all those homless welks are now? :)
omg I am so jealous….but so happy for everyone else.
I am soooo jealous! Over here on the east coast of the state, Debby churned up the seas but no huge bounty of shells as a result :(
I did get out and do a little picking, got a coffee bean trivia among other small treats the other day and today I found a gorgeous scotch bonnet and tons of cross bar venus clams as well as bittersweet clams…added a few more to my collection. Sadly, I'm still longing to get over to Sanibel. Haven't been since March; dying here!
Congrats on that gorgeous horse conch!
Super duper!
Hubby and I rode out Debby while we were visiting Sanibel and Captiva. Unfortunately the waves were too rough for us to get any real shelling done during the days we were there. We found the bulk of our treasures courtesy of Debby further north at Venice, Siesta Key and Coquina Bch (Bradenton). I am so excited for those who found their treasures after we left the Sanibel area. We will definitely be back soon!
Went to our beach yesterday, but the waters were all the way up to the dunes still. We found some sharks teeth among the shell crush though. Heading back tomorrow, hoping the treasures will be washed up by then.
O-M-capital G!!!!!!!
Wow! I'm totally speechless at the loot!! :)
xoxo laurie
OMG!! So. Effing. Jealous.
Just praying some of those shells wait until July 14-21 for us! beautiful specimens. Come on storm front on the 12th!
Ong. That is the last time I will stay and shell here in Sarasota after a storm. I am so envious of you lucky shellers.
Awesome Pam. Simply awesome.
What gorgeous shells, congratulations to all on your great bounty from the sea:-)
The shells are beautiful. We are extremely shellous of all the finds, but so very happy for everyone who was able to be there shelling after Debby! Horsies are my favorite and I am particularly envious of the one you found Pam, it's greatl!! Will be down in a few weeks with my shelling sistah's could you leave just a few til then????
I'm trying not to be so shellfish. But I hope some will be left for me and my sistahs. Can't wait!!!! Congrats to all the lucky shellers.
I have never seen that many shells all at once at the Lighthouse! And the size of that tulip is literally breathtaking :D Thanks for taking us to the glorious aftermath!
We had originally planned to drive in from TX and take 5 days so we could beach-hop. But, then we heard about the storm. So, we had to get there! 23 hours later we were here. Shelling the last two days has been extraordinary for shelling! Especially for summer. We're gonna be here for two months so we're looking forward to some some more great shelling.
Shell for one, and all for shell!
John & Kathie
TWO MONTHS? OMG, do you need childcare/ laundry doer/ housekeeper/ cook/ ?????????????
……….tears of amazement, joy, excitement and wonder of the Universe!
OK that's it – take my name off the email lists – I can't stand it any more. I am so jealous I am "spitting nails"!!! DON'T YOU DARE REMOVE MY NAME.
You are on my bucket list and I will make it there ASAP.
I have shell envy ;) My husband & I checked Honeymoon Island (my local shelling spot) on Tuesday afternoon, but found only churning waves and limestone. Today we went to Caspersen Beach (our fav place) to hunt for sharks' teeth and came home with some nice finds… and a little scotch bonnet to boot!
Dreaming of Sanibel…..
So happy for everyone who got to take home all the wonderful shells. We were there back in May and I found a horse conch on a sand bar and my hubby found a large lighting whelk. Every time I look at them I remember how excited we were to find them. Can't wait to come back down.
I am happy yo know that I am not the only shell nut ! Love,love it… on the way to Emerald Isle, N.C. tomorrow, hope we can find some beauties there. Someday Sanibel!,,,,,.
Thanks so much for sharing the great photos of all the fantastic shelling finds! I so wish I could there. You can NEVER have enough shells!
I totally enjoyed reading about all the wonderful shells that were found on Sanibel Island after TS Debby. I visited Sanibel for the first time back in October 2010 and had the best time searching for shells. I am planning to go back next year and can hardly wait!! The pictures of all the shells made me even more anxious to go back!

Date of Stay: September, 2012
Clean park but watch out for the extra charges, I did not know there was a deposit expected until I was already unpacked, and I did not know there was a 3% charge passed onto me for using a debit card; he prefers cash. The Wi-Fi only worked sometimes when I was there, but never fear, there is a McDonald's nearby. You could not walk 2 feet without getting stickers on your shoes, pants, or if you had flip flops that was dangerous walking across the grass. I didn't like the "find out as you go" rules, I never saw that rule about the 3% fee to use a debit card until I used one. I think this owner is new at the park thing and is not user friendly. So read all the rules before you check out, Oh and I never saw any creek water etc. while I was camped there.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
I am giving this park a 4 only because for the price $450 a month with no Wi-Fi, cable,, showers or bathrooms available. All you get is just a hook up to electric, water, and sewer. It's a new clean park. Owners are nice, but this is close to Beeville and if your coming to the area be prepared to pay, and pay, and pay, the oil field is here and they can't keep hotels and RV places built fast enough. So go on down to Corpus or Port A and enjoy the beach don't stop here.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
I stayed here for August and won't be here for September. The wi-fi does not reach you unless you are by the office. The showers, washer, dryer, and bathrooms are not available unless the owner is home. There are no codes for entrance on anything, only one washer and dryer, get real! The manager is running this park on time off from their full time job.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
This is a great place with no nonsense. Charging just $375 per month, with no hidden fees. Has cable TV, Wi-Fi, a pool, laundry and great people running the place.

Russia luxury down with a bump in 2009
By Amie Ferris-Rotman and Maria Plis
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Kerchiefed women peddle fake designer handbags in front of the pitted Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney stores, whose signs have been scratched off by hand less than 18 months after their grand openings.
The British designers' stilettos, diaphanous gowns and Italian-made wool coats were stuffed to the back of the adjoined stores and sold at a 70 percent discount before the financial crisis sealed their doors for good earlier this month.
The Russian capital, notorious worldwide for its exorbitantly priced restaurants, gridlocked traffic of sports utility vehicles and love of excess is taking a massive hit as recession bites in the world's fourth-largest luxury buyer.
Analysts say this year's profits will be slashed by around a third in the country's luxury clothes and accessories industry, which is estimated to be worth between $4.5 billion and $9 billion. Moscow buys over 80 percent of Russia's luxury goods.
The sudden sobriety is a far cry from just over a year ago, when Donatella Versace and Tom Ford jetted in to talk of their expansion plans in Russia to enthusiastic crowds.
Now Sweden's Hennes & Mauritz, famed for its low retail prices, is eyeing the very spot Alexander McQueen occupied, its chief executive Rolf Eriksen told Reuters earlier this month.
Russia's Crocus Group, which owns a palm tree-lined shopping center selling diamonds and limousines and around 100 luxury boutiques in Russia and Azerbaijan, is also feeling the pinch.
"In Moscow we have started to experience the slowdown and I must say it is substantial," its Baku-born commercial director Emin Agalarov said in an e-mail. Continued...

The performance of the contacts, where Au/Ti layers are used in the metallization scheme, largely depends on the product phases grown by interdiffusion at the interface. It is found that four intermetallic compounds grow with narrow homogeneity range and wavy interfaces in the interdiffusion zone. The presence of wavy interfaces is the indication of high anisotropy in diffusion of the product phases. This also reflects in the deviation of parabolic growth from the average. Further, we have determined the relevant diffusion parameters, such as interdiffusion coefficient in the penetrated region of the end members and integrated diffusion coefficients of the intermetallic compounds.

While the Packers are hoping to take their surprising season to yet another level as the calendar hits playoff time, here is a look back at the 10 defining moments that made the 2007 regular season.
10. Koren Robinson's TD catch vs. Lions - In an otherwise meaningless game in the standings to close the regular season, Robinson caught a most meaningful touchdown. His first score with the Packers came just over two months after returning to the team from a one-year NFL suspension for repeated alcohol abuse.
Said quarterback Brett Favre: "I hope it (the touchdown) meant as much to him as it did to me and it meant a lot to everyone… I was just happy for him and it's been well-documented how much I've supported him and will continue to."
9. Will Blackmon's 57-yard punt return for TD vs. Raiders - Blackmon's promise has only been beset by his inability to get on the field. Foot injuries have sidelined him for much of his first two seasons in the NFL, but finally healthy enough to assume duties as a punt returner on Dec. 9, he brought the Lambeau Field crowd to its feet with a decisive return of a short punt for a touchdown.
8. Charles Woodson's 57-yard fumble return for TD vs. Redskins – Coming off their first loss of the season, the Packers were facing another defeat right in the face on Oct. 14. Woodson's opportunistic play, however, lifted them to a 17-14 victory headed into the bye week.
After defensive tackle Corey Williams stripped the ball away from wide receiver Santana Moss on an end around in the third quarter, Woodson slid in and recovered the football. Not being touched, he then got up and out-ran Redskins' quarterback Jason Campbell to the end zone for what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown. It was one of the only bright spots on a dreary day, both in performance and weather, at Lambeau Field.
7. Aaron Rodgers leads near comeback vs. Cowboys – Okay, maybe not really a "moment," but Packers' fans had to be finding immediate solace after Rodgers' fine outing, even at the hands of a loss.
Relieving quarterback Brett Favre in the second quarter at Texas Stadium with the Packers trailing by 17, Rodgers faced nearly insurmountable odds. Not only was the deficit big, but he was thrown into the fire of a battle between the NFC's top teams. Seeing really the most meaningful action of his career, he silenced many of his critics with a gutsy performance.
Scrambling a number of times for crucial gains and closing the gap to just three points late in the third quarter, Rodgers played like a seasoned veteran. He finished the game 18 of 26 for 201 yards and one touchdown, and though the Packers fell short (37-27), he gave Packers' fans hope for the future.
6. Greg Jennings' 60-yard TD catch vs. Chiefs – In what became a common refrain for the Packers in 2007, the Favre-Jennings combination struck again for a dramatic touchdown to highlight a furious fourth quarter of scoring. The Packers outscored the Chiefs, 20-15, in the final quarter to win, 33-22, on Nov. 4.
After a Tony Gonzalez touchdown put the Chiefs ahead 22-16 with 5:18 remaining in the game, the Packers quickly answered. Favre hit Jennings with a strike down the middle of the field for a 60-yard score and the game-winning touchdown. It was the second straight week Favre-to-Jennings produced the game winner.
5. Mason Crosby's 42-yard field goal vs. Eagles – In his first NFL game, Mason Crosby calmly booted a 42-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to lift the Packers to a 16-13 victory in the season opener. He was three-for-three on the day.
Not only did the ugly win set the tone for a beautiful season for the Packers, but it also set the stage for a huge year for Crosby. The rookie kicker made 31 of 39 field goals and led the NFL in scoring with 141 points.
4. Jennings' 57-yard TD catch vs. Chargers – Inactive for the first two games of the year with a hamstring injury, Jennings returned to the lineup with a bang against the Chargers on Sept. 23. He contributed to a banner day for Favre by catching a laser of a slant pass and never breaking stride on the way to a 57-yard touchdown that put the Packers up 24-21 with 2:03 left in the game. It was the first of three game winners for Jennings.
With Favre throwing for 369 yards against one of the AFC's best teams, and Jennings featured in a variety of multiple wide receiver sets, the Packers made perhaps their biggest and boldest statement of the year.
3. GM Ted Thompson trades for RB Ryan Grant – In a relative low-key move when it occurred, Thompson was looking to provide some competition in the backfield when he dealt an undisclosed draft pick to the Giants for Grant, just eight days before the season opener. What could not have been predicted was Grant's huge impact this year.
In really his first year of NFL action (he had been on the Giants' practice squad), Grant opened some eyes when he got his chance. After not really playing much in the first six games, he sparked a poor Packers' running game and became the NFL's hottest back during the second half of the season. He ran for eight touchdowns, and all but 27 of his 956 rushing yards on the season came over the last 10 games of the year.
2. Favre passes Dan Marino in career touchdown passes – With a 16-yard strike to Jennings in the first quarter against the Vikings on Sept. 30, Favre broke the record of all records for NFL quarterbacks. He surpassed Dan Marino for No. 1 all-time with 421 career touchdown passes.
Though Favre would break other NFL records during the season, he looked like he enjoyed this one the most. The game, held at the Metrodome, was momentarily stopped to honor Favre. It included a video tribute from Marino himself.
Favre finished the season with 28 touchdown passes raising his total to 442 for his career.
1. Jennings' 82-yard TD catch in overtime vs. Broncos – Easily the most exciting moment of the season for the Packers, Favre's 82-yard bomb to Jennings on the first play of overtime won a hard-fought Monday night contest in Denver on Oct. 29. It sent Favre and the Packers' sideline into a wild celebration.
Favre earlier in the game had completed another long pass, of 79 yards, for a touchdown to rookie James Jones. Ironically enough, just days earlier at a press conference Favre fielded questions about his ability to throw the deep ball.
The two deep throws against the Broncos answered any questions, but the final one to Jennings down the left sideline might be one of the most unforgettable moments of Favre's career.

Andrey Arshavin will return against Manchester United after fully recovering from flu.
The Russian was sent home from training twice in a row last week because of illness and sat out Sunday's defeat against Chelsea. But he is available for this weekend's trip to Old Trafford.
However, Arsène Wenger has no other returning stars for the clash. William Gallas and Gael Clichy are both out for the season and Manuel Almunia is still struggling with an ankle injury, although he might return for the final game of the campaign against Stoke.
"Andrey Arshavin is fully fit," Wenger said at Thursday's press conference.
"Gallas, Clichy, Eduardo and Almunia won't be available but everyone else will be.
"Almunia has a little chance to play against Stoke. I want to play the players who have played the most games against Stoke so if he is available he will play."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

While trying to look for my costume, i bought 3 pairs of white glove for 2 of my costumes and one for a friend who needed one. Well, I went to take them home and i found that I had a pair from a previous costume that i left in my travel bags. Since i only need the three pairs, I thought i would give away my last pair to who ever needs them. Depend ing on which one my friend needs for her costume, The gloves will either be a pair of silk or satin (not sure of the material) formal gloves i had bought for prom but never used (around a medium/large), and the other is a pair of cotton gloves that I just bought yesterday from work (medium). Bother pair are in new (or semi-new) condition, and I will give them to wohoever needs them. I'll even give them to you for free, so I dont have to worry about getting them home. But this is on a first come first serve basis, and i only have one pair. If you need a pair of gloves I could lend you a pair of X-large gloves but they will have to be returned after use. I can also buy them for people before i leave and they can give me the cash for them at the con (only $3.50). If anyones interested they should contact me as soon as possible. Either IM or PM me and tell me what you need. Remember that i only have two pair that I can either give and lend out.

"Angel Girl Cheena (12-21-97 to 09-24-10)"
Photo Comments (7)
"My new 'baby' sister. Mommy wants to name her Carrot. Silly Mommy!!!"
I realize that I'm living here at the Bridge, but I wanted to let my mommy know that I luv her very much & that as an angel, I'll be watching over her on Mother's Day.
It's been fun here. I run, play, jump, and just have a great time. Even my furbro Chato (also an angel) is nice to me up here. He wasn't on earth, so I wasn't sure if he would be at the Bridge.
Let me tell all you mommies out there what it looks like here at the bridge!
There is never a shortage of food. There is no snow or cold, unless we want it. There is no fighting, sickness, old age, or ABUSE! There is green grass, there are big, tall trees. There are all kinds of pets (cats & other babies) in this part of the bridge, and we all get together & have dances once a month. The sun always shines at the bridge.
Oh, one more thing, there are millions upon millions of jewels, flowers, and all the wonderful things that one can only imagine until it's time for them to come & get us here at the bridge. Then we'll live forever with each other.
Today has been an extremely bad day. Today we lost a family member who brought us laughter, love, & a sweet personality daily.
Today, I lost my little 'boat anchor', baby girl Cheena.
Cheena's health had been declining over recent years, but she'd really gone downhill the last 6 months or so. She was always a timid dog, but in recent weeks she was much more timid, scared almost to the point of paranoia, about everything...except, me, her momma.
She had dementia. She also started having accidents in the house. She hated having accidents in the house...it just wasn't like her to do that...but she also couldn't help it.
She had a couple of strokes about a year and a half ago...only to recover rather quickly, but she wasn't quite the same...after that time, she'd started showing her age.
Cheena loved life. She loved making people laugh! What a little clown she was...and even though she barked at anyone she didn't know, she would hide once she started barking...the sign of a dog fiercely protecting momma, yet wanting momma to protect HER.
This decision was not an easy one for me to make. I've seen her declining rapidly in recent months...only to see her rally a little bit which made the decision difficult.
I know, deep in my heart, she's in a much better place...at the bridge, barking, playing & carrying around her lucky mojo mono, but, I'm so heart broken over the loss of my sweet little shihtzu.
Her page will stay up. She will live on in Dogster...
Sweet little girl...mommy loves you so much...& I'm sure you know just how much now!
I miss you now, & will miss you every day of my life, little boat anchor baby girl.
Run & play free, little one...
I love you!
Cheena appeared to be doing much better Friday & Saturday. Today (Sunday) however, she seemed to be hiding a lot, not drinking much water, and certainly not eating very much. She did have treats this morning, & a bite or two of lasagna (this was her first & only taste of lasagna) this afternoon. I will watch her again tomorrow, & if nothing changes, the decision WILL be made & done by week's end....
My heart is breaking as I type this. I never realized the strength of our bond, or the magnitude of her love until just recently. She's been on a cross-country road trip twice in her little lifetime, gone to the groomers (which she hated), visited her vet & not once has she complained!
I wish I could bottle up her personality; along with her love for life, and keep it with me always! I will keep a large part of her in my heart, yet the hole will be bigger than any emptiness I've ever felt in my entire life! My baby girl's life, as she once knew it, is very quickly coming to an end. How do you say good-bye to a pet who's given you more than just 'love' over the years? How do I say good-bye? This isn't easy, but it is necessary. As with everything special, there comes a time to say good-bye. I know when her time comes, I'll have the support of my Dogster family to help me through!
For now, I'm trying not to think of the pain I will endure when my little sweetie 'boat anchor' baby is gone. For now, I am just living day by day, the best way I know how...with Cheena sleeping by my feet most of the time...showing me her love! When she looks at me with those big, brown, glassy eyes, my heart just melts.
I wish you all could have been able to meet & know Cheena. You would have all liked her!
I will close this for now with this statement...I'm watching my little Cheena Mona, and loving every single nanosecond I have left with her. Here's to the little dog with the biggest heart of gold!
I LOVE YOU MY DEAR SWEET MONECA! I'LL MAKE SURE YOUR LAST DAYS ON EARTH ARE FILLED WITH LOVE (as always) & WITH ALL THE THINGS YOU ENJOYED DOING...

Highly customizable alternative to var_export for PHP code generation
Installs: 18 364
Dependents: 11
Suggesters: 0
Stars: 33
Watchers: 3
Forks: 2
Open Issues: 0
- php: >=5.4.0
- ext-gmp: To convert GMP numbers into PHP code
PHPEncoder is a PHP library for exporting variables and generating PHP code
representations for said variables similar to the built in function
var_export(). Compared to the built in function, however, this library
provides more options to customize the output, which makes it easier to generate
code for different kinds of purposes such as readable configuration files or
optimized cache files.
The purpose of this library is to address some of the shortcomings with the
built in
var_export(). For example, there is no way to control the amount of
whitespace in the output and there is no way to choose between different array
notations. This library also provides functionality to convert objects into PHP
code that is actually useful when compared to the built in function.
The large number of customization options in this library allows you to create code that fits your purposes. You can create very compact code, when you need to limit the size of the output, or you can create code in the style that actually fits in any of your dynamically generated PHP files.
The API documentation, which can be generated using Apigen, can be read online at: http://kit.riimu.net/api/phpencoder/
In order to use this library, the following requirements must be met:
- PHP version 5.4
This library can be installed by using Composer. In
order to do this, you must download the latest Composer version and run the
require command to add this library as a dependency to your project. The
easiest way to complete these two tasks is to run the following two commands
in your terminal:
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
php composer.phar require "riimu/kit-phpencoder:2.*"
If you already have Composer installed on your system and you know how to use
it, you can also install this library by adding it as a dependency to your
composer.json file and running the
composer install command. Here is an
example of what your
composer.json file could look like:
{ "require": { "riimu/kit-phpencoder": "2.*" } }
After installing this library via Composer, you can load the library by
including the
vendor/autoload.php file that was generated by Composer during
the installation.
Manual installation
You can also install this library manually without using Composer. In order to
do this, you must download the latest release
and extract the
src folder from the archive to your project folder. To load
the library, you can simply include the
src/autoload.php file that was
provided in the archive.
The most relevant method provided by this library is the
encode() method
provided by
PHPEncoder. The method takes any value as an argument and returns
the PHP code representation for that value.
For example:
<?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $encoder = new \Riimu\Kit\PHPEncoder\PHPEncoder(); echo $encoder->encode(['foo' => 'bar', [1, true, false, null, 1.0]]);
This would create the following output:
'foo' => 'bar',
[1, true, false, null, 1.0],
Of course, the most important feature of this library is the ability to
customize the created the PHP code. As the second argument, the
method takes an array of options, which can be used to customize the returned
PHP code. For example:
<?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $encoder = new \Riimu\Kit\PHPEncoder\PHPEncoder(); echo $encoder->encode(['foo' => 'bar', [1, true, false, null, 1.0]], [ 'array.inline' => false, 'array.omit' => false, 'array.indent' => 2, 'boolean.capitalize' => true, 'null.capitalize' => true, ]);
This would create the following output:
'foo' => 'bar',
0 => [
0 => 1,
4 => 1.0,
Encoding options allow you to customize the output of the
encode() method. It
is possible to set these options in three different ways:
- Options can be provided as an array to the
- Option values can be set via the
- Options can be passed as an array as the second argument to the
Note that options passed to the
encode() method are only temporary and do not
apply to following calls.
List of Options
whitespace : <boolean> (true)
When set to
false, generation of all extra whitespace is disabled and all other settings that affect whitespace are ignored.
null.capitalize : <boolean> (false)
When set to
true, all
nullvalues are written in upper case instead of lower case.
boolean.capitalize : <boolean> (false)
When set to
true, all
falsevalues are written in upper case instead of lower case.
float.integers : <boolean|"all"> (false)
When set to
true, any float that represents an integer and has a value that is accurately represented by the floating point number will be encoded as an integer instead of a float. (e.g. the value
2.0will be encoded as
2). To include the values that are not accurately represented, you may set option to
float.precision : <integer|false> (17)
The maximum precision of encoded floating point values, which usually also means the maximum number of digits in encoded floats. If the value is set to
false, the PHP ini setting
serialize_precisionwill be used instead. Note that due to the way floating point values work, a value greater than 17 does not provide any additional precision.
string.escape : <boolean> (true)
When set to
true, all strings containing bytes outside the 32-126 ASCII range will be written with double quotes and the characters outside the range will be escaped.
array.short : <boolean> (true)
When set to
true, arrays are enclosed using square brackets
[]instead using of the long array notation
array.base : <integer|string> (0)
Base indentation for arrays as a number of spaces or as a string. Provides convenience when you need to output code to a file with specific level of indentation.
array.indent : <integer|string> (4)
Amount of indentation for single level of indentation as a number of spaces or a string.
array.align : <boolean> (false)
When set to
true, array assignment operators
=>are aligned to the same column using spaces. Even if enabled,
array.inlineoptions are still respected, but only if all the keys in the specific array can be omitted.
array.inline : <boolean|integer> (70)
When set to
true, any array that can be written without any array keys will be written in a single line. If an integer is provided instead, the array will be written as a single line only if it does not exceed that number of characters. This option has no effect when
array.omitis set to false.
array.omit : <boolean> (true)
When set to
true, any redundant array keys will not be included (e.g. the array
[0 => 'a', 1 => 'b']would be encoded just as
['a', 'b']).
array.eol : <string|false> (false)
The end of line character used by array output. When set to
false, the default
PHP_EOLwill be used instead.
object.method : <boolean> (true)
When set to
true, any encoded object will be checked for methods
toPHPValue(). If the method
toPHP()exists, the returned string will be used as the PHP code representation of the object. If the method
toPHPValue()exists instead, the returned value will be encoded as PHP and used as the code representation of the object.
object.format : <string> ('vars')
Default object encoding format. The possible values are:
stringcasts the object to string and then encodes that string as PHP.
serializeserializes the object and wraps it with
exportmimics the
var_export()object representation
arraycasts the object to an array and encodes that array
varsturns object into an array using
iterateturns the object into an array by iterating over it with
object.cast : <boolean> (true)
Whether to add an
(object)cast in front of arrays generated from objects or not when using the object encoding formats
recursion.detect : <boolean> (true)
When set to
true, the encoder will attempt to detect circular references in arrays and objects to avoid infinite loops.
recursion.ignore : <boolean> (false)
When set to
true, any circular reference will be replaced with
nullinstead of throwing an exception.
recursion.max : <integer|false> (false)
Maximum number of levels when encoding arrays and objects. Exception is thrown when the maximum is exceeded. Set to
falseto have no limit.
Known Issues
Recursive arrays on PHP < 5.4.5
If you try to encode recursive arrays on PHP versions earlier than 5.4.5, you may encounter the following error (due to the way array comparisons work internally in PHP):
Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?
In order to fix this, you should disable the recursive array detection by
setting the option
recursion.detect to false and set a value for the option
recursion.max to prevent recursive arrays from causing an infinite loop.
Float precision on HHVM
Note that HHVM does not support the ini setting
serialize_precision. Thus,
the use of the value
false for the option
float.precision is not supported
on HHVM.

Heathrow Airport has warned today that there will be some cancellations and delays to flights as air accident experts continue their investigation into the cause of a fire on board a Boeing 787 Dreamliner jet.
The airport's website is advising passengers to check the status of their flight with their airline before travelling to Heathrow.
The aircraft, which has been plagued with problems since its launch, caught fire while on a remote parking stand shortly after 4.30pm yesterday, a Heathrow spokesman said.
Nobody was on board the Ethiopian Airlines-operated plane at the time of the incident and there were no injuries, he added.
Runways were closed to all flights for an hour and a half while emergency crews dealt with the blaze, which caused diversions and long delays for passengers.
The US National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending a representative to London to assist authorities with their investigation into the fire.
Ethiopian Airlines said the aircraft had been parked at Heathrow for more than eight hours before smoke was detected.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident Thomson Airways said a Dreamliner flight to Florida had to be diverted back to Manchester yesterday due to a "technical issue".
Boeing temporarily withdrew the Dreamliner from service earlier this year for modifications after concerns that batteries on board could cause fires.
A Heathrow spokesman said yesterday: "Heathrow's runways are now fully open following an earlier fire on board an Ethiopian Airlines aircraft which the airport's emergency services attended.
"The aircraft was parked on a remote parking stand and there were no passengers on board. Arrivals and departures were temporarily suspended while airport fire crews attended to this incident. This is a standard procedure if fire crews are occupied with an incident."
The fire appeared to have caused damage to the top of the plane's fuselage.
An Ethiopian Airlines statement said: "Smoke was detected from Ethiopian Airlines B787 aircraft...which was parked at London Heathrow airport for more than eight hours.
"The aircraft was empty when the incident was observed. The cause of the incident is under investigation by all concerned."
An Air Accidents Investigation Branch spokesman said: "We are aware of the incident at Heathrow and have sent a team to investigate."
A Boeing spokesman said: "We're aware of the event. We have Boeing personnel on the ground at Heathrow and are working to fully understand and address this."
Boeing shares fell sharply on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday after news broke of the incident.
Thomson Airways became the first British carrier to operate the Dreamliner earlier this week, and is taking delivery of eight of the planes.
The company had hoped to take delivery of the first of its 787s in time to start Dreamliner operations in May.
But a series of battery problems led to the grounding of the plane earlier this year while modifications were carried out.
Thomson had to scrap plans to use the ultra-green aircraft in May and June, and only received its first plane in June.
The battery problems followed endless production difficulties for the Dreamliner, which has been marketed as a quiet, fuel-efficient aircraft carrying between 201 and 290 passengers on medium-range routes.
It should have entered passenger service in 2008 but it was not until October 2011 that the first commercial flight was operated by Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways.
British Airways is taking delivery of the first two of its 24 Dreamliners, while Virgin Atlantic said it "remains committed" to taking the first of its 16 Dreamliners in September next year.
A Virgin Atlantic spokeswoman said: "Virgin Atlantic is in regular communication with Boeing to understand all the technical issues around the aircraft and the airline remains committed to taking delivery of 16 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners from autumn 2014.
"We are confident that Boeing and the relevant authorities are working hard to ensure that the appropriate action is being taken."
Three flights bound for Heathrow from Lagos, Shanghai and Delhi were diverted to London Gatwick due to the disruption, Virgin Atlantic said.
Thomson Airways said its Dreamliner flight to Florida was flown back to Manchester airport yesterday afternoon as a "precautionary measure".
A spokeswoman said: "Thomson Airways can confirm that flight TOM126 travelling from Manchester to Sanford, Florida experienced a technical issue and the aircraft returned to Manchester Airport, as a precautionary measure.
"Passengers have disembarked and our dedicated team of engineers are now inspecting the aircraft. Our customers will be moved to an alternative aircraft to ensure they get away on their holiday as soon as possible.
"The safety of our customers and crew is of paramount importance and we would like to apologise for the delay caused."

KALAMAZOO, MI – Western Michigan University's men's basketball team opens the 2012-13 season with a trip to Ithaca, N.Y., for Saturday's noon game at Cornell.
This is the first-ever meeting between the Broncos and Big Red, and only the second time that the WMU men's basketball program has played an Ivy League school.
Western Michigan is coming off a 14-20 season, in which the Broncos were picked to win the Mid-American Conference West Division but because of injuries and other issues, went 6-10 in league play and tied for third.
The Broncos were predicted to finish third in the MAC West this season behind preseason favorite Toledo and Eastern Michigan.
Cornell was 12-16 overall last season, and finished fifth in the eight-team Ivy League with a 7-7 mark. Three seasons ago, the Big Red advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament and compiled a sparkling 29-5 record.
Cornell was predicted to finish fourth in the Ivy League this season.
WMU's home opener is 7 p.m. Tuesday against Marygrove at University Arena. After that, the Broncos hit the road again and head south for next weekend's South Florida MTE invite in Tampa, Fla.
Here's a look at Saturday's game:
Western Michigan at Cornell
When: Noon Saturday at Newman Arena.
History: This is the first-ever meeting between these programs.
Live audio: WKZO-96.5 FM (Kalamazoo area); WMAX-96.1 FM (Grand Rapids/Muskegon areas); WVIC-94.1 FM (Battle Creek/Lansing areas)
Live blog/stats: wmubroncos.com or cornellbigred.com
About WMU: The Broncos feature a young team with eight freshmen, three sophomores and three redshirt juniors. Leadership could come in the form of the senior trio of Nate Hutcheson, Brandon Pokley and Dan Loney. Hutcheson was a preseason All-MAC West first-team selection after the 6-foot-7 forward averaged 9.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in 2011-12. Projected starters for WMU include sophomore Austin Richie (6-3) and Pokley (6-4) at guard, Hutcheson and freshman Darius Paul (6-8) at forward, and redshirt junior Shayne Whittington (6-10) at center. Richie averaged 5.6 points and one assist last season, Whittington delivered 4.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per contest, and Pokley produced 4.6 points. Freshman Connar Tava (6-5, 230) could contribute as well. The rugged forward scored 21 points in an exhibition win over Kalamazoo College, but did not play in the second exhibition against Roosevelt because of illness.
About Cornell: The Big Red lost who were arguably their top two players from last season in guards Chris Wroblewski and Drew Ferry, whose eligibility expired. Wroblewski was a 1,000-point scorer, three-year starter, first-team All-Ivy League selection, and graduated as the program's all-time assists leader. Ferry was a sharpshooter for Cornell, which was heavily reliant on the 3-point shot last season. The Big Red return Ivy League Rookie of the Year Shonn Miller, however, after the 6-7 forward averaged 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals per game last season. The Big Red have six seniors on their roster, including Errick Peck (6-6 forward), who missed last season with an injury after he ranked second on the team in scoring in 2010-11. Johnathan Gray (8.8 ppg, 3.1 rpg), a 6-3 senior, returns to lead the backcourt.
Prediction: Cornell 68, WMU 62

Like everyone else here i am terribly disappointed with the anvil blanks. Lesser quality fabric and the neck hole is HUGE after one wash. I washed it again and let it dry flat with no change. I am washing it AGAIN in warm water with lay to dry to see if that makes a difference....but i doubt it :-( I'm sorry woot but I won't be buying any more anvil shirts. Since you have made the change you have lost yet another customer.
This first time buyer wants his shirt!!!

It's because the image is based on an actual LoTR game from waaay back and not the movies.
PLEASE MAKE THIS SHIRT AGAIN. I (thought that I) purchased 2 of these bad boys when it was a part of the Reckoning, but I guess my order didn't go through. And I am heartbroken.
Will this ever be available again?

I'm not sure, but I think someone driving a 95 SportWagon tried to walk away from me yesterday. It was sort of peppy for a full-sized wagon. Turbo version, perhaps?
Not really a race though. What happened was we got onto a 4-lane road and he changed lanes to pass two cars. I followed him. Then he hit it. I giggled and hit it, too.
I was far enough behind him that I could reel him for a bit without tailgating. He quickly changed lanes to the right after passing, and I continued reeling. Then he darted onto an off-ramp, so that was about it. I was next to him when he braked for the ramp. ~80mph or so.

Prosecutors do not plan to indict former Prime Minister Naoto Kan and executives of Tokyo Electric Power Co. over the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear meltdown calamity that started on March 11, 2011, investigative sources said Friday.
The prosecutors decided, based on the testimony of tsunami experts, that the government and Tepco could not have foreseen the monster waves that hit the complex after the Great East Japan Earthquake struck, due to the lack of "unified knowledge" on the height of tsunami.
Earlier reports, however, said both Tepco and the Nuclear Safety Commission were well aware of the tsunami threat years before 3/11.
Residents' groups across the country, mainly in Fukushima Prefecture, had filed complaints against about 40 people on suspicion of professional negligence resulting in injuries. They included Kan, Tsunehisa Katsumata and Masataka Shimizu — the then chairman and president of Tepco — and Haruki Madarame, then chairman of the now-defunct Nuclear Safety Commission.
The prosecutors have asked Kan to explain the government's response to the disaster, they said.
Kan, 66, who was prime minister from June 2010 through September 2011, is expected to submit documents to the prosecutors arguing that he is not criminally responsible for the disaster, his aides said.
Katsumata, 73, was Tepco president between 2002 and 2008 and chairman between 2008 and 2012. He left Tepco's board of directors in June 2012.
Shimizu, 69, was Tepco's president between June 2008 and June 2011, while Madarame headed the Nuclear Safety Commission between April 2010 and September 2012.
The residents plan to ask an 11-member independent judicial panel to seek indictments against the government and Tepco officials if the prosecutors decide not to file criminal charges.
The complainants accused Kan of failing to order Tepco to take prompt venting measures to lessen the pressure within the reactor containers that led to hydrogen explosions.
