Florida Home Staging is for the Serious Seller!
Decorating is optional.
Staging is Mandatory!
Do you know the difference between
Staging and Decorating?
is preparing a home for sale by
de-personalizing it and making it appealing
to potential buyers.
is personalizing your home to
your taste so that you will enjoy living there.
We Do Both!
Why Home Staging Works:
Did you know that potential buyers make up
their mind in the first 15 seconds of
viewing your house whether or not they want to
make an offer or look at something else? It's an
emotional decision. Make your home the one they
want to see and ultimately buy! The most
important element in selling your home is to
capture the buyer's attention, helping them to
connect emotionally with your home and be able
to mentally move in, not move on!

What natural remedies have you successfully used to help you sleep? I'm not willing to try OTC or other meds at this point.
How's your nausea? One suggestion would be exercise if you feel up to it. Walking, light jogging, yoga, biking, swimming, etc.
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
I'm having more and more problems falling back asleep after a bathroom run and waking up at 4:30 or 5am when i don't have to be up for work until 7am. Seems to happen regardless of my exercising but it does slow me down with exercise. I'm trying to work through it, but I'm missing my sleep and it's starting to affect my emotions.
I'm totally having this problem. Lucky for me, my midwife just recommended Benadryl to help me get a handle on this nasty allergy/asthma attack I'm having so I'll sleep like a baby tonight... and all day tomorrow. One thing that does help me is not taking my vitamins at night. But I forget to take them in the morning when I do that so I'm just dealing with the sleepless nights. I'm sorry you're dealing with this too. I hope it goes away soon for both of us!
I've been suffering from this as well. I've been doing some reading online about how to get to sleep in the first place- that's my biggest problem. Important tips are no screens (TV, phone, computer) an hour before bed, no exercise two hours before. Read or listen to music before going to sleep. Set a time limit that you will lie there trying (30-45 min) and then get up and do something that will help you fall asleep (read, music). You just end up stressing yourself out by staying in bed thinking about sleeping.
I try to limit my liquid intake two hours before bed. I also drink Calm http://www.calmnatural.com/ twice a day on my midwife's recommendation. That seems to help. Don't turn on the light when you get up to go to the bathroom.
Honestly, I've just given up in a way. My body doesn't want to go to sleep before 1:30, so I usually just read until then. Then I nap during the day.
The only time I can get to sleep easily and early is when dp is here on the weekends. So 5 days out of 7, not goo sleep. At least I get two days off!
Good luck!
Amanda, mom to dsd (16), dd (11), dd (8), and ds (born 11/12/11).
I'm using mama calm. My midwife has a tea similar to Earth Mama Angel Baby's Peaceful Mama tea, but I just can't handle tea at the moment. I've found a warm bath and aromatherapy helpful as well.

Most climate related hazards in Bangladesh are linked to water. The climate vulnerable poor—the poorest and most marginalized communities living in remote villages along Bangladesh's coastal zone that are vulnerable to climate change impacts and who possess low adaptive capacity are most affected by lack of access to safe water sources. Many climate vulnerable poor households depend on small isolated wetlands (ponds) for daily drinking water needs and other domestic requirements, including cooking, bathing and washing. Similarly, the livelihoods of many of these households also depend on access to ponds due to activities of small-scale irrigation for rice farming, vegetable farming and home gardening. This is particularly true for those poorest and most marginalized communities living in Satkhira, one of the most vulnerable coastal districts in south-west Bangladesh. These households rely on pond water for vegetable farming and home gardening, especially during winter months. However, these pond water sources are highly vulnerable to climate change induced hazards, including flooding, drought, salinity intrusion, cyclone and storm surges, erratic rainfall patterns and variations in temperature. Cyclone Sidr and Cyclone Aila, which hit Bangladesh in 2007 and 2009 respectively, led to a significant number of such ponds being inundated with saline water. This impacted upon and resulted in wide scale implications for climate vulnerable poor households, including reduced availability of safe drinking water, and safe water for health and hygiene practices and livelihood activities. Those households living in remote areas and who are most affected by these climate impacts are dependent on water being supplied through aid, as well as travelling long distances to collect safe water for drinking purposes.
The coastal population of Bangladesh is exposed to a number of climate induced hazards. These include variations in temperature, erratic rainfall patterns, drought, cyclones and storm surges, flooding, salinity intrusion affecting existing water sources and rising sea levels. Potential Sea Level Rise (SLR) is expected to enhance current risks already impacting upon coastal livelihoods in various ways [
This increased SLR may intensify the impacts of cyclones and storm surges and result in increased salinity intrusion into existing water resources (such as ponds) and larger areas of agriculture land in the future. Cyclone induced storm surges combined with increased sea level, variations in temperature (especially during pre-monsoon in March, April and May) and erratic rainfall patterns (particularly late rainfall), are also likely to have negative implications on the quality and quantity of pond water sources. This will ultimately affect the livelihoods of the climate vulnerable poor farmers, those poorest and most marginalized farmers most at risk to these potential climate-related impacts.
These poorest and most marginalized communities are currently working hard to cope with and adapt to current changing circumstances. However, further support is required if households are to successfully undertake longer term sustainable adaptation practices to current climate variability and potential future climate change impacts. Locally-driven immediate and longer-term adaptation strategies generated through active participation of local people are likely to support households in undertaking sustainable livelihood practices.
This paper is comprised of four sections. Section One presents a brief overview of the impacts of climate induced hazards on small ponds along Bangladesh's coast. Section Two highlights the research tools and techniques used to collect relevant data from the study areas presented in this paper. Section Three discusses research findings, including the localized climate change vulnerability context and its impacts on pond water sources for targeted climate vulnerable poor households. Current household coping mechanisms undertaken and potential adaptation options to support households adapt with identified hydro-climatic risks are also presented. Section Four provides concluding remarks.
This research utilized both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods to explore current and potential future climate change impacts on small isolated wetlands (ponds) located in two Unions in Shyamnagar Upazilla in Satkhira, south-west Bangladesh. The survey used targeted households who have access to eight ponds in five villages in the above mentioned two unions. A total number of 309 respondents were targeted through the sample survey.
The sample survey was conducted using a two-stage cluster sampling procedure. During the first stage, the ponds (cluster unit) were selected based on pre-selected criteria, including location of the pond (within 100 km of the coast); multiple uses of the pond water (more than one use); number of users (>50 user households) and socio-economic status of users (
The survey questionnaire was designed to capture relevant data from the study areas. This included background information on selected ponds; socio-economic profile of the study households; household awareness and understanding of climate change-related issues including local perceptions on the impacts of climate induced-hazards on ponds and associated household livelihoods; current coping measures undertaken; loss and damages incurred; and potential adaptation options to mitigate future hydro-climatic risk. Fieldwork findings were also collected and validated through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and semi-structured interviews with target pond users in the study villages. In addition, secondary data sources were collected and reviewed. Relevant literature provided further understanding on related concepts and supported data analysis of study findings.
The coastal zone of Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to both slow and rapid onset events. [
The Soil Resources Development Institute (SRDI) [
Salinity intrusion caused by cyclones and storm surges has already resulted in devastating affects on Satkhira's coastal ecosystem, including small ponds that are the major source of water for drinking, cooking and agricultural practices for many climate vulnerable poor communities living in the region. Deterioration of quality and reduction in quantity of pond water has resulted in significant impacts on coastal livelihoods. For example, Cyclone Sidr and Cyclone Aila that hit Bangladesh's coastal zone in 2007 and 2009 respectively, led to many ponds being submerged in sea water. It was reported that over 6,000 ponds were adversely affected by Cyclone Sidr induced salinity intrusion [
Beneficiaries of eight small isolated ponds expressed their perceptions on the state, uses, services and impacts of climate induced hazards on these water sources. The study indicates that dependency on pond water is multi-purpose. The study shows that almost every household (96 percent of respondents) is dependent on pond water sources for drinking (please see
Percent of respondents on the uses of pond water in the study areas.
Respondents presented differing opinions on their economic status and/or level of poverty experienced. The local study communities in Satkhira perceived that their economic status is determined by their livelihood status and access to social support. Respondents stated that "extremely poor" people (31 percent of study households) constantly struggle with insecure occupations; on average consume two meals a day; live in poor housing and lack ownership of and access to land for cultivation. 50 percent of respondents perceived their economic condition as "poor". This means they live without severe food shortages and other basic needs; face difficulties in consuming three meal a day during certain seasons due to lack of income; and frequently change livelihoods to compensate for the limited number of income earning members per household. Only 19 percent of respondents perceive them selves as "not poor". This means that they can afford to eat three meals a day andthat they earn income from diversified sources including agriculture products, land ownership, foreign remmitances and shrimp farming. This latter categorization was not pre-selected prior to field work; it was defined by respondents themselves.
In regards to education levels of the study households, only eight percent of respondents have passed secondary school and embarked on higher secondary education. More than 35 percent of respondents have successfully completed high school education, with 25 percent educated to primary school level. The remainder of respondents is illiterate. On the age distribution of the study population, it was found that one-fourth of the total study population were less than 15 years of age. Most of the population (36%) was under 30–60 years range while 30% of the population was between 15 and 30 years of age. Only less than 10% of the population were old, fall under 60 + age group.
Fieldwork findings reveal that pond water is affected by salinity intrusion, with respondents perceiving different levels of salinity. 56 percent of total respondents stated that pond water sources are affected by low levels of salinity (
Percent of respondents on the salinity level of the pond water.
The quality and quantity of pond water varies according to the season. Both quality and quantity of water significantly deteriorates during the pre-monsoon (March-April-May). Analysis shows that the trend of average maximum temperature in both pre-monsoon and monsoon periods over a 30 year period (1981–2010) has slightly increased in the study area of Satkhira (author's analysis). It was observed that the trend of "days above 32 °C" in the last 20 years (1991–2010) has also increased. In comparison, rainfall patterns are changing in the study district. The same analysis used above shows that pre-monsoon rainfall is also decreasing over the above mentioned period. Likewise, the number of days without rainfall has increased over the same period. It may be argued that a longer span of rainless days, over extraction of water during warmer seasons and high rates of evaporation, especially during pre-monsoon periods, may present possible reasons for depleting water levels. Respondents expressed that pond water quality deteriorates when water levels decline. Further observations indicate that changes in salinity levels of pond water sources may be attributed to varying rainfall patterns. This observation is based on the comparison of rainfall experienced in January of 2011 and 2012 with the salinity levels of all study ponds for the following month,

The pre-monsoon season (March-April-May) is also prone to hazards consisting of cyclones, storm surges and nor'wester. The nor'wester washes waste through surface runoff and deteriorates pond water quality. Moreover, the season is particularly prone to tropical cyclones, including Cyclone Aila that hit the area in May 2009. Another cyclone was also experienced in the pre-monsoon month of April in 1991, which killed more than 138,000 people living in Bangladesh's coastal areas [
Respondents expressed that climate change impacts have negative multi-faceted affects on pond water sources. They reported that the major climate change associated hazards impacting upon ponds in their locality, in order of decreasing prevalence, were erratic rainfall patterns (70 percent of households); high temperatures in pre-monsoon seasons (60 percent of respondents); frequent cyclones and storm surges (58 percent of respondents); and higher tides and salinity intrusion (37 percent of respondents) (please see
Percentages of HHs on the major hazards that affect/may affect pond water.
The change in use of pond water during and after Cyclone Aila is significant. It may be noted that "during Aila" indicates the uses of pond water during immediate impact period of about 2 to 4 weeks while "after Aila" denotes the uses of pond water after cleaning/repairing of the cyclone Aila affected ponds. The usability of pond water was largely reduced as the quality of water dropped substantially beneath acceptable salinity levels. Only five percent of total respondent households used pond water for drinking purposes during Cyclone Aila (Please see
Use of Pond Water during and after (one year) Cyclone Aila.
The study households were found to be suffering from a number of waterborne diseases, including frequent diarrhea, dysentery, skin disease and eye infections. Female respondents stated that they mostly suffer from diarrhea, fever, headaches and skin disease. In comparison, their male counterparts stated to suffer most from dysentery. Children of respondent households were recurrently found to experience a wide range of health issues, including fever, headaches, diarrhea, dysentery, skin disease, cholera and jaundice. According to 91 percent of respondents, the frequency of disease is highest during pre-monsoon seasons when pond water quality is at its lowest. Although six percent of respondents also stated to suffer from varying waterborne diseases during monsoon, the occurrence of disease was found to be at its lowest during monsoon months. Deterioration of water quality was found to be the main cause of diarrhea and dysentery as reported by more than 60 percent and 40 percent of respondents respectively. Around 20 percent of respondents stated skin disease was a consequence of degraded water quality. Moreover, approximately 15 percent of respondents expressed that deteriorating water quality was also the cause of fever and headaches.
The majority of climate vulnerable poor study households dependent on pond water for drinking and agricultural practices were significantly affected by climate induced hazard impacts (
Climate Change and Isolated Wetlands (ponds): Conceptual linkages of impacts and vulnerability.
To gain access to drinking water during Cyclone Aila, nearly 70 percent of respondents became dependent on aid water (
Sources of drinking water during most recent disaster (Cyclone Aila).
The majority of respondents stated that raising the height of land surrounding pond edges could be one adaptation option undertaken to protect vital drinking water sources from future cyclonic events and associated salinity intrusion. In addition, some ponds may be re-excavated in order to keep the maximum depth of pond possible to ensure availability of sufficient water sources during pre-monsoon and crisis periods. Ponds are required to be cleaned regularly to ensure water quality remains at necessary levels.
Respondents perceived that rainwater harvesting strongly supported the availability of access to safe drinking water sources during crisis periods. As a result, numerous households now view rainwater harvesting as an effective adaptation option in coastal areas. Rainwater harvesting is also expected to reduce the pressure on pond water sources, especially during periods of higher temperatures where need for increases in the amount of drinking water consumed rises.
Respondents are shifting from cultivating traditional rice and vegetable varieties to alternate types. Local farmers stated that since Cyclone Aila they use crop varieties that are saline- and drought-tolerant and are able to survive in higher temperatures. An increased number of farmers are now growing pumpkin, lady's finger, eggplant, spinach and other vegetables that require minor irrigation mechanisms.
This paper presents that a number of climate induced hazards, particularly cyclones, storm surges, salinity intrusion, erratic rainfall patterns and variations in temperature are affecting the quality and quantity of safe and useable pond water sources in Bangladesh's south-west coastal zone. Research findings show that seasonal variations of these climatic risks have significant impacts on livelihoods and food security levels for the climate vulnerable poor households living in these areas. Degradation of water quality caused by Cyclone Aila in 2009 resulted in salinity intrusion and a decline in access to safe water sources, especially during pre-monsoon seasons when frequency of waterborne diseases increase. As a result, existing water management practices need to be improved in order for effective adaptation at local level to take place. This includes undertaking pond management on a regular basis, not just after hazard events. Similarly, exploring the use of alternative water sources is suggested. In addition, the following potential adaptation options are recommended:
Construct and raise the height of the edge/boundary around pond water sources
Excavate and re-excavate ponds
Erectness around ponds to protect water sources from waste in surface runoff, especially during rainy seasons
Undertake rainwater harvesting
Reduce irrigation levels required for cultivation purposes

Agoramania Soap Box
Foreign Allies Hot for Lockheed's F-35
Associated Press, October 01, 2008
Israel has become the first foreign nation to place its stamp of approval on the fledgling F-35 Lightning II warplane being developed by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co. in Fort Worth.
The Pentagon has formally notified Congress that it plans to sell up to 75 F-35s to Israel, a deal potentially worth up to $15.2 billion to Lockheed and the legion of contractors working on the program.
Israel's endorsement of the F-35 long before most flight testing is potentially valuable. Israel's air force is "the most closely watched and highly regarded outside the U.S.," said Richard Aboulafia, aerospace industry analyst for the Teal Group consulting firm in Fairfax, Va.
The company did release a statement that said: "As the first potential Foreign Military Sale of the F-35, this would be an important first step in expanding interest in the Joint Strike Fighter beyond the U.S. [government] and eight international F-35 Partner Nations."

Quick and good value. I would go back!
was very happy with the service
good work, great people, good quality
Bit more than I wanted to spend, but done a really good job at fixing the damage on my car. Better than expected.
Took in my s type jag to change the gearbox sump,filter and oil.i supplied the parts.i bought them from eBay.got a call from garage to say I got wrong sump pan.they cleaned up the original and put my new oil in.car runs and gear change is smooth and spot on. Thank you and I will recommend you to my friends and use you again.i also got a call to say I forgot my sump pan that I supplied.went back and got it and now its going back to suppliers.thanks again.great customer care.friendly staff
Very friendly people good service.
Great service. Mechanic was helpful.
very happy with the service
great job
Had some extra work done
The garage wasn't able to find the issue but never the less gave a brilliant service. Collected and dropped off my car and was sensitive to the fact I couldn't be without the car, i'm a single parent with 3 small children
I had a positive experience when I used DB's Service and Tuning. The service I received from Desio and his team was second to none, the customer care was excellent, the price was reasonable and my car was repaired quickly. If you are looking for an honest, friendly and helpful mechanic, Desio's your man.
I recently had issues with my vehicle initially thinking that the gearbox required repair and replacement. I took my car to DB's Service and Tuning and was quoted an initial estimate for repair. The gentlemen Decio, identified the cause of the problem to be a broken right hand side engine mount, resulting in the engine falling on one side affecting the ability to engage reverse gear. I was promptly provided with a new estimate for new parts and labour receiving a very descriptive email inclusive of pictures of the engine. The parts quoted were VW products, so I searched for alternatives on Euro Car Parts website in an attempt to lower the price. I was unsuccessful in finding any alternatives which reassured me that the price of the quite was not inflated. My vehicle was repaired and was ready for collection the next day. I could have had the car back the same day but I caused a slight delay in the commencement of the works when researching the option of alternative parts. I was very satisfied with the service provided, Decio was very thorough when explaining the issues affecting the vehicle. Decio advised that he worked for VW for a number of years and he took the time to advise me on other minor issues that required attention. I would highly recommend DB's for vehicle repair, I shall certainly be taking my vehicle for a MOT and service in October 14.
Excellent, fantastic, would use again!
Great job, the garage were very prompt in responding and got the problem solved quickly, I will definitely use them again.
Happy Autos provided exceptional service to us. They repaired our car's front and rear bumpers and the complete left side panels of the car. The work done is of utmost quality and the car is now just like new. The quote for the job was very competitive. Happy Autos also picked and dropped off the car from our home providing very timely service. I will absolutely recommend them.
Great communication ... repaired to highest standards would recommend
Happy did the job perfectly and quickly and at a price no one else could get near. Couldn't be happier :-)
Solid work on body repairs due to an accident. Looks as new. Took 5 days to get fixed in total.
Excellent service. Fixed the problem with the DPF.
Good guys they done a good work and quick ,they manage to replace my pads quicker than main dealer took payments from my card.
Excellent garage and would recommend
Very Helpful resolved promptly Highly recommended
Absolutely brilliant response! Every aspect of support & service was prompt, professional & top quality. Prices ranged from £550 down & when I was reluctant to pick the lowest prices I felt nervous but there was never a moment where I regretted my decision. I was 200 miles from home but got up & running quickly .. making me think I will get all my service work done by Mechanico a long way to travel but worth every penny! Thanks

Constantine the Great - From Capitoline Museums - Photo by Jean-Christophe Benoist - (via Wikipedia Commons)
But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block
before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the
doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. - Revelation 2:14-15
In a firm and loving way, like a good coach, Jesus told the believers at Pergamum, "But, I have a few things against
you." To the church at Ephesus there was just one problem. To those at Smyrna, there was nothing they were doing wrong. But to
this church He has a "few" issues. "Few" is the normal word in Greek for a small amount, and the Lord actually only names two things.
Here is the first problem: "You have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam." This refers to a fascinating story from the
Old Testament book of Numbers, chapters 22 through 24, where a prophet named Balaam was hired by Balak, king of the Moabites, to curse Israel.
He tried repeatedly, but God would not allow him to utter a curse against His people.
If you have time to read these chapters in Numbers, do it now. You won't know whether to laugh or cry!
"Who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel." Balaam evidently advised
Balak to involve the Israelites in worldliness and immorality (Numbers, chapter 25). Thus Israel could be corrupted from within.
Just reading through Numbers chapters 22 through 24, you would not discover that Balaam suggested that the Moabites use their
women to lure Israelite men into immoral relationships. But in chapter 25 you see that that is exactly what happened, and it led to the death of
thousands of the men of Israel. That chapter does not mention Balaam at all, but, since it comes right after his failed attempts to curse them,
it makes you wonder.
Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab. 2 They invited the people to the sacrifices of
their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD was aroused against
Israel. - Numbers 25:1-3

their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods. 3 So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD was aroused against
Israel. - Numbers 25:1-3
The Bible answers this question in the book of Numbers. Moses said,
Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the incident of Peor,
and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. - Numbers 31:16
Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the incident of Peor,
and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. - Numbers 31:16
The result of Balaam's strategy was devastating. Jesus reminded the believers at Pergamum that some of the Israelites were
persuaded "To eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality." Jesus didn't say that the people of
Pergamum had actually committed the same kinds of sin, but they had plenty of opportunity to do so in their city. In any case, they were
allowing false teachers to indoctrinate them with the idea that they could indulge in sinful activities and still be good Christians
(2 Peter 2:15; Jude 1:11).
Truthfully, there are many in our generation who are affected by this same error. A misunderstanding of God's great grace
is often taught, especially to young people. It is true that we are not saved by works (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5), but it is also true
that those who are saved by grace are "created for good works" (Ephesians 2:10; Titus 3:8)
Here is the second issue: "Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing
I hate." Some commentators see this statement as another way of expressing what has already been said about the teaching of
Balaam. However, the word "also" would not be necessary if it were just a continuation of the previous warning. The Greek word is the
preposition kai, which is the normal word for "and." But even if it were translated "and" here, it would still signal a separate problem.
In our earlier study about the Church at Ephesus (see the notes on Revelation 2:6), we learned that Nicolaitans were officious
people who wanted to impose control over others. We saw that Nicolaitan comes from two Greek words nikao - "to conquer" and laos
- "people,"
At Pergamum this would-be hierarchy had entrenched their position by developing a "doctrine." They were now systematically
"teaching" their concepts. We can be pretty sure that their lessons didn't include Jesus' explanation that whoever would be greatest in the
kingdom should be servant to all (Matthew 20:25-28), or Peter' warning that we mentioned earlier against "lording it over the flock" (1 Peter 5:2-4).
Now, since the Book of Revelation is about prophecy, we will turn our thoughts to how these issues relate to the third
period of Church History. We mentioned above, in the notes on verse 12 that this message foreshadowed the events that would take place between
AD 312 (Emperor Constantine) and AD 476 (the fall of the Western Roman Empire).
Because the Roman Emperor Constantine had been converted, he issued an edict to allow freedom of worship to all, including
Christians. Christianity began to be the favored religion of the Empire. Great numbers of people joined the Church.
It was wonderful that the persecutions ended, and there were some good things, like the churches being built in the Holy
Land by the emperor's mother, Helena. These churches have preserved some of the sites of great importance. One of these is the Church of the
Nativity in Bethlehem.
Unfortunately, this phase of church history had some negative consequences as well. Many of the people claiming to become
Christians did not understand the Gospel and what it really meant to follow Jesus. They just added what little they did know about Him to
the other religions they had before. They did not necessarily leave their old pagan religions behind. In that way the Church became corrupted.
It began to be "married" with Satan's evil world system.
We mentioned in the previous verse when we were considering Satan's throne at Pergamum, that when Attalus III, the last
king of Pergamum, died in 133 BC he bequeathed all of Pergamum to the Roman government. The priesthood of the old Babylonian religion was
transmitted at that time to the head of the Roman religions, the "Pontifex Maximus." In 63 BC Julius Caesar was given this title. Then, in 49 BC
he also became the ruler of the Roman Republic. After his death the Roman Emperors also assumed the title "Pontifex Maximus."
More than 400 years later, Emperor Gratian (AD 375-383), who was a Christian, decided it was no longer appropriate for the
Emperor to serve as pagan religious leader, so he divested himself of the title Pontifex Maximus
(http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/469749/pontifex-maximus). However, soon after he rejected the position it was assumed by Damascus I,
the Bishop of Rome (AD 366-384) (Hislop, pp. 191, 204). At that point Satan was able to start introducing seeds of compromise into the Church.
Over time these false ideas would grow to become major problems, like monasticism, salvation by works, prayers to saints, undue emphasis on Mary,
non-biblical sacraments, confession to a priest, papal infallibility, and other beliefs and practices that were later rejected by Protestants.
Theodosius I (379-395), the last Emperor over both the eastern and western halves Of the Roman Empire abolished pagan worship,
and established Catholic Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire.
A few decades later, in AD 445 Emperor Valentinian III issued a decree establishing the primacy of the Bishop of Rome. This
decree was first applied to Leo I, so he became the first "Pope" ("Papa") of the Roman Catholic Church. Catholics consider all the Bishops of
Rome to have been Popes, but this decree marked the beginning of the papacy as we now know it.
At this point I need to explain that I am not "anti-Catholic." Catholic means "universal," and up to this historical juncture
there had just been one main "trunk" for the family tree of Christianity. It was just "the Church." From that point of view, all of our
denominations had our origins in this same universal church.
However, starting with Constantine, there were lots of corruptions of the belief and practices in the Church. These eventually
led to a series of "branches" from the main trunk. We will have to take notice of these corruptions since many of them began during this period of
We are also not anti-Catholic because of our personal experience with Catholic people. In my first pastorate in East Los Angeles,
most of the people I met in the community were Catholics. I was eager to share the Gospel with them, and they were surprisingly open to listening!
We used the "Four Spiritual Laws" in those days, and because we were quoting God's Word, there was almost always a willingness to hear and trust
the Bible. Many of them had never heard the simple Gospel message, but they were open to it. They might not have known what was in the Bible,
but they had a reverence for it. Over the years I have become close friends with numerous Catholics, including some priests, who are dedicated
followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. In our church home in Alta Loma the highest percentage of converts from other faiths has come from the
Catholic Church.
It is right, however, to oppose teaching that can be shown to be unbiblical, whether it is in the Catholic Church or any other
denomination. From that point of view there are many serious problems in Catholic history, theology, and current directions. Historically, the
longer a denomination has been in existence, the more it has drifted away from simple faith in the Word of God. The same can be said about most
Christian colleges and seminaries.
Let's summarize how the Church at Pergamum is a prophetic example of the third period of church history. Their two big
problems were allowing the encroachment of the teaching of Balaam and the teaching of the Nicolaitans. The teaching of Balaam was designed
to cause God's people to experiment with the immoral practices of the world. This was done on a grand scale after Emperor Constantine
legitimized Christianity and encouraged others to join the church without understanding the true meaning of the Gospel. All kinds of
false beliefs and practices were brought into the Church, and the moral sensitivity of the people declined.
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of
the world makes himself an enemy of God. - James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of
the world makes himself an enemy of God. - James 4:4
The teaching of the Nicolaitans, which began in the Early Church, was put into practice by establishing one of the several
bishops ("overseers" See notes on chapter 2, verse 1) as the head of the entire Church. From this first Pope, the leadership of the Church
grew extensively until it looked, and acted, like a worldly government.

Damon definitely broke a bat yesterday by the way. Unless I'm getting it mixed up from the day before, after he broke it he handed the broken bat to a kid sitting in the stands next to the dugout. This count you have going has suddenly made me realize how often that happens though. It really is amazing.

Chris Brown Blames Satan For Releasing New Rihanna Abuse Photos
While we're on the subject of violent, egotistical women-beaters, apparently Chris Brown wasn't too thrilled yesterday when MediaTakeout.com posted two new photos from the night he beat Rihanna senseless. Fortunately he knows who the real culprit is and took to Twitter to tell everybody until his publicist shat a canary and yanked it down. Via ONTD:
- It's ironic how "somebody" put this out right around my album time! Wow! I guess that's supposed to be a strategic chess move! Unbelievable
- The Devil is always busy!! But when u have a destiny, nothing or no one can stop what god has planned!
Ah, my favorite bullshit Christian coping mechanism: "Bringing up your past is a trick of the devil." Yes, that's right, Chris Brown, Jesus forgave you, so you should never have to face responsibility for your actions again, you poor thing. How dare that horned bastard do this except, fuck you, we're talking about fictional characters. So for this alone, and I'm not even factoring in the abuse, I want those Rihanna photos to be on the cover of every single one of your albums from here on out. Not that it would stop your fanbase, of course, but it's the thought that counts. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to see what the Dark Lord has laid out for the agenda today. *reads list* "Keep being exceptionally salty this morning." On it.

Meat Some Alternatives
I'm sure you saw summer's big food story. The world's first lab-grown burger was finally squeezed from its test tube and pan-fried for a palate test. So how does a $330,000 hamburger taste? Apparently not so hot. Still, petri patties could solve a lot of problems. But what if we all just ate a little less meat instead?
The artificial beef was made from cultured cow muscle cells subjected to a science-fiction recipe involving seaweed polymers and something called myotubes. But it was more than an exercise in idle carnivorous curiosity. With the world's hunger for meat expected to climb 70% by 2050, [1] it was a first attempt to satisfy this anticipated appetite sustainably.
Because meat is cooking the planet. To get a quarter-pound hamburger you need roughly 53 gallons of water, 74 square-feet of land, and seven pounds of feed. [2] (Feed all the grain we feed to livestock in the U.S. to people instead, and 800 million of us would eat. [3]) That same burger also adds over six pounds of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. [4] In fact, according to the United Nations, 18% of all global warming gases are released by livestock. [5]
To prevent this chili con carnage, we could eat fake meat. Or we could just eat less meat. That used to seem impossible to a meat-lover like me, but I've found that alternatives like these fill the meatless void quite nicely:
- Tofu is almost a meatless cliché, but it's both filling and satisfying. Buy extra firm, let it drain, marinate it in something yummy and pan fry or grill.
- Tempeh is made from soybeans and other grains compressed and fermented. The result is a dense chewy texture and a rich nutty flavor that's at home in all kinds of settings.
- Textured vegetable protein comes flakes or chunks. Rehydrate it a little and use it in recipes instead of ground beef. It'll absorb whatever flavors you add to it with ease.
- Seitan is a wheat-based option. It does well as a chicken substitute. But you can bake, simmer, or fry it into almost anything.
- Portobello mushrooms are big and beefy, especially when treated to a soy sauce-based marinade. Grill them for a smoky touch that's delicious.
- Beans come in all shapes and sizes. Mix and mash them to make veggie burgers and hearty pots of chili and stew.
- Premade substitutes like Gardenburgers and Quorn will work in a pinch, but in my experience a DIY approach yields superior results. One exception is Gimme Lean, which when combined with breadcrumbs, herbs, and egg makes a killer meatball.
Swapping ingredients like these for meat even a meal or two a week can make a big environmental difference. And you really won't miss that cheeseburger. The key lies in recipes and marinades that elevate taste and texture to satisfying meat-like levels. You can't just toss tofu in the pan and expect applause ten minutes later. But with a clever cookbook, there's little standing between you and a standing O.

A few years ago I tried out for—and got—a role in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, as the character Sebastian. I was just starting to write and produce plays at the time, so I wanted to know firsthand what kind of horrors I was putting my actors through. What I learned? The acting world is even crazier than I suspected. Before rehearsals we ran through a series of warm-up exercises: tongue twisters, improvisational games and drills of movement and sound where we stood in a circle and acted like crazy people. I remember thinking that if someone walked in they'd take us for a bunch of kindergarteners at play. It was awkward, but at the same time, the unrestrained absurdity in the company of strangers pushed us all through to a sense of belonging. The games began to feel like a set of Masonic initiation rites that no one outside the temple was allowed to see.
Montana Rep's production of Circle Mirror Transformation, a play by New England writer Annie Baker, brings that behind-the-scenes experience to center stage, telling the story of an amateur acting class whose characters hold their inner lives close to the chest. Information is revealed oh-so-gradually. The production is held in the intimate space of the Downtown Dance Collective and the story is told in small, realistic moments with conversation both mundane and profound, all of which gives the audience an eerie sense of spying through cracks in the wall.
But this is more than a peep show. Circle Mirror Transformation celebrates awkwardness—an experience as obstructive to getting to know new people as it is to people who have known each other for years but can't articulate their emotions. Most of us encounter the awkward every day, and this play puts that space under a microscope.
For a show that zeros in on silence and confusion, that refuses to pander to short attention spans, Circle moves at a surprisingly brisk pace. All the scenes are short, and though some of them feel incomplete, when the production hits it right, it flies out of the park. Highlights include one of the cutest ask-you-out-on-a-date moments I've ever seen. And the breakthrough exercise scenes, where the characters' "real lives" and performances overlap, generate a resonating emotional presence.
Most of the credit for this show's success belongs to the cast, as Baker's script could easily have fallen flat in the wrong hands. The actors capture a tightrope tension between outward behavior and a chaotic inner life. Marty, (Leah Joki) the acting instructor, smolders with frustration while attempting to stay patient and in control. James (Mike Verdon), Marty's husband, balances passion, responsibility, selfishness and disappointment behind a veneer of dutiful grace that is almost heartbreaking when it cracks. Then there's Schultz (Jeremy Sher), a gawky, quirky, lost soul trying desperately to keep it together. Theresa (Salina Chatlain) wrestles flawlessly with the downsides of being an object of desire while struggling with her memories of a toxic relationship. Lauren (Elizabeth Bennett) is a 16-year-old aspiring actress who spends most of the story charming us with attitude as she reacts to the neurosis of the adults around her. If nothing else, you will get a glimpse into the weird world and rituals of actors at work.
Director Sam Williamson has skillfully wrangled an overwhelmingly minimalist script into a fully realized, confident production. There's no set to speak of, just a few props and the DDC's wood floor and mirrored wall. The sparseness speaks to the difficulty people often have expressing what they really feel, when everything hangs unsaid in the air. There's one long moment of emptiness during the show, where the actors leave the stage but the lights don't go out. It's a beautiful imposition of that sense of not knowing what to do, where your mind spins like mad trying to decide how to act, how to fill the space.
And then there's the ending. I could criticize Baker for creating a brilliant, transcendent moment and then over-explaining it, but I'm trying really hard to let it go, because I loved how it made me feel—chills from head to toe.
Circle Mirror Transformation continues at the Downtown Dance Collective Fri., Feb. 21, through Sun., Feb. 23, at 7:30 PM nightly with a 2 PM matinee on Sat. $15/$10 students.

Last week we ran a story titled "Stéphane Dubé Wants His Shot" where TKO lightweight contender Stéphane Dubé took time to call out current TKO lightweight champion Sam Stout saying "In Sam's contract it should stipulate that he has to fight me in December for the title, but you know what? I think Sam is going to have a big surprise September 28, Grandmont is furious because he think is was chosen because Stout team think he is a easier fight."
Shortly after we ran the story Stout's trainer, Shawn Tompkins, graced the airwaves of MMAWeekly's SoundOff Radio to discuss his IFL team and the upcoming IFL Semifinals which is scheduled for August 2, 2007 at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, NJ. At the end of the interview Jeff Cain posed a question about Dube and Tompkins provided listeners with a candid answer.
"Well sure, Sam Stout will fight Stephane Dube but Stephane Dube has to go fight somebody first to prove that he deserves a fight against Sam Stout. I mean, I could go on your radio show tomorrow and say I want to fight Chuck Liddell but that doesn't mean I deserve it right? Stephane Dube has got sick strikes but two of those fights are against the same guy and three of those fights are against guys in a different weight division and all of those names he has fought are basically nobodys. The fact that he is turning 40 years old and thinks he deserves a shot and Stephane Patry wants to make that fight happen because it will sell tickets - I don't owe Stephane Patry any gift. I've dedicated alot of my time and energy to him over years so we'll find people that deserve the fight. There is alot more people that deserve to be in that fight other than Stephane Dube, no disrespect to him, but if he disrespects us, you know, he's got to sit back and take a real look at things. Like I said, I can go on here and call out anybody but it doesn't mean I deserve the fight."
TKO 30: Apocalypse will feature Sam Stout defending his lightweight title against Martin Grandmont. Stéphane Dubé will appear on the undercard against Tyler "TNT" Jackson. For the latest TKO 30 fight card, check out the Rumors section.

Afghan violence comes during coalition crackdown
The weekend violence that killed eight NATO troops and eight Western contractors in Afghanistan comes as coalition forces are attempting a major crackdown on the Haqqani network, an insurgent group based in a remote corner of Pakistan that has been blamed for a spate of high-profile attacks.
On Saturday, a massive suicide car-bomb attack in Kabul targeted an armored bus carrying NATO troops and civilians, killing five coalition troops and eight western contract workers. Four Afghans also died in the blast. NATO does not identify the nationality of troops killed, but the Associated Press reported one of the troops was Canadian and two of the contractors were British.
In a separate attack, an Afghan soldier in southern Afghanistan turned his weapon on three Australian troops, killing them and wounding several others. The attacker was also killed.
A western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AP that the Haqqani network was suspected in the car-bomb attack.
In Senate testimony last month, then-chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Michael Mullen said that the Haqqani network appeared to have ties to Pakistan's intelligence agency, highlighting the difficulty in rooting out a network operating in the relative safety of a sanctuary.
Coalition forces have launched a major offensive aimed at blunting the Haqqani network. The operation known as "Knife Edge," which began in mid-October, has led to the death or capture of Haqqani militants on a daily basis, the military said.
The death of the Australian soldiers in southern Afghanistan highlight a continuing challenge for coalition forces, which are training Afghan soldiers and police so they can operate independently when Afghanistan assumes responsibility for its own security in 2014.
The deaths increase the number of NATO troops who have been killed by Afghan security forces this year to at least 19.
Since 2009, 45 NATO troops have been killed by Afghans they have been training. Most of the attacks were committed by Afghan soldiers with a grudge against their trainers or who had been suffering combat stress, according to NATO.
None of the attacks were committed by insurgents planted in Afghan security forces by the Taliban, said Army Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, a commander for NATO's training mission.
NATO trainers are being prepared to fight back, Fuller said.
"We realized our training wasn't as good as it should have been," Fuller said. "We've restructured our training to be, 'You need to know how to engage.' I practice sitting at my table pulling out my pistol and engaging."

Sermon: Pentecost 23a – November 16, 2014
The Rev. Dr. William Heisley
Lessons: Zephaniah 1:7, 12-18; Psalm 90; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; Matthew 25:14-30
It's all about money. It's all about money and nothing is clear.
A rich man called his 3 slaves around him. They were probably close confidants, people bought and chosen to protect the man's property. He gave one of them 5 talents and one 2 talents and one 1 talent. There is a wide variety of thinking about what a talent was. But most often you read that a talent was worth about 15 years wages. So he gave one, what: at least $2,000,000? Ten million dollars? More? Even the one he gave the least had a lot of money to handle, maybe $600,000. Not probable to us. But Jesus's listeners would have understood. (more…)

Subject: [DEV] Request for help at the Exeter and Plymouth Record Offices
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 18:05:41 +0000
The Devon Wills Project, which is creating a finding-aid in the form of a consolidated index of Devon wills, administrations and inventories, covering original documents, probate copies, transcripts and abstracts, is now in its final stages. Information about more than two hundred thousand Devon wills, etc., has been collected from over four different hundred sources (such as calendars, catalogues, books, journals and web sites) in an attempt to compensate for the destruction during World War II of the Exeter Probate Office and its entire holdings.
The Project pages are at:
Have you checked to see if the Project's consolidated index contains any information of relevance to your researches?
The sources that have been investigated by the Project of course include the various catalogues at the Exeter and the Plymouth Record Offices. However we have found that a (small) number of entries in their catalogues just indicate the existence of a will, without giving any information regarding the testator's name, date of the will, etc.
Understandably the hard-pressed Record Office staff do not presently have the time to investigate these issues. Do you visit the Plymouth or Exeter Record Offices, and would you be willing to help with this task?
If so, my colleague Richard Grylls <>, who organises the Project's use of volunteers, would be delighted to hear from you.

everything! nothing..
Very nice hotel, perfect details, elegant decorations. The staff is very kindly
Exquisite design. Quiet place but in the centre of the city - comfortable feeling at night especially after busy and noisy day. Cheerful, attentive and friendly personnel. Not great choice for breakfast - I missed usual vegetables, sausages, bacon, omelet.
rooms design, helpful staff
Staff were excellent, hotel was comfortable and all in all our stay was a very pleasant experience
Clean, new, luxuries, and design Location besides the train station is not perfect, but there is no train traffic.
Hotel is very nice , close to open sea arround 20-30 km but the contidtion in Sycylia is the best . I think You need to think about staying in this hotel . Nice shower , nice bed , clean
Best staffs for all my travels. I leaved my jacket in the room. However, they send it to other city by train. And they have good chef, too. And the night window view is best. So melancholy and romantic.
Very comfortable bedroom and bathroom, good breakfast. Reception area is comfortable and stylish. The hotel is in town but only just, there isn't a bus service to the centre of town and the train is about 2 miles. Nice hotel but the surrounding unfinished blocks spoil the view somewhat.
The hotel was run in a wholly professional manner; staff was well-trained, well-informed, courteous and helpful. The facilities were modern and well-maintained. Underground garage was poorly designed; difficult to maneuver even small vehicles into and out of spaces. Also, the hotel was almost impossible to find. GPS/navigatore systems have not yet registered the official address (the hotel is fairly new), and the swirling coils of local roads (all unnamed) makes the hotel almost impossible to locate, especially at night
Excellent value as a base, on outskirts of city, for touring south east Sicily. Modern hotel with clean and spacious room and en suite, good reception facilities and pleasant dining room. Extensive buffet breakfast and four course dinner menu was very enjoyable and great value.
Comfortable, very tidy, formal hotel. Very good choice for the price we paid. As advertised. The free wifi internet login system might be simpler, but this is just a minor detail.
hotel is in downtown, 20 min walk from bus terminal, clean and coisy room, family environment, very helpful people, made enquiry for me as to bus schedule. i got my breakfast in the bed.. thanks a lot. rooms are very close to one another and when a guest arrives late at night, one can hear talking and walking up staircase and opening/closing doors.
Great location - in the shopping area, near old town. Very helpful staff. Nice modern and comftortable rooms. Garage in the basement was also very convenient.
Helpful receptionist. The hotel is furnished to a good standard and rooms are spacious, clean, and reasonably comfortable. English channel TV. It is not too difficult to walk to, and around, the old town from the hotel. Although car parking was secure the 8Euro fee was not appreciated.
rooms were large and beds very comfortable. restaurant food was poor. breakfast was fair
Its location was in the centre of ragusa. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was ok. The room design was a bit eighties, staying in the room was a bit like being in a Duran Duran video, but the comfort was fine. Also there was no access to the internet if you didnt have a laptop with you.
Attentive and friendly service
the hotel was ok to find, and parking in the garage under the building was great well worth the 8 euro. We walked to the old quarter (Ilba) very pleasant but lots of steps then caught the bus back to hotel. only down side not many nice restaurants close by so on 1st night we ate at the hotel and it was the worst meal we have had and slow service.Staff very nice, friendly and helpful Hotel restaurant food for dinner was not vey nice
Very friendly staff and very close to the old section of Ragusa. Hotel Car Park just under hotel as well. Were able to have toast which is a rare thing in Italy.
Well situated. Staff very competent and friendly. It was one of the best hotels that we were in Sicily. The price was excellent. They have their own parking (very usuful in Ragusa).
The meals (breakfast and dinner) were very good. Very pleasant room (good idea to have a coffee machine too).
friendly staff, convenient parking garage
The restaurant was good and so was the pool.
Helpful staff ,lovely building,food good and reasonably priced .
Food very good(lunch and dinner), A nice quiet place, large room, whirlpool, characterisric building. very little choice for breakfast, staf a little strange, airconditioning problemen, not a real shower
Staff was always very friendly, helpfull, contained and, attentive at the same time. Facilities and furnishing in room and public areas were all very aesthetic and elegant. Clean and tidy at all times. It is well situated to visit all the lovely Barock places like Modica, Noto, Ragusa etc. In this time of the year it was a bit lonesome with only a few other guests. You need to like the remoteness of the hotel in the middle of a farming area. You definitely need a car to reach Modica within 15 minutes.
The location - it is right in the center of the town. Situated in a beautiful baroque epoque palace. The spa is located in ex horse barn under the palace caved in the cliff. It is very difficult to find a parking close to the hotel as there is no hotel's parking. The room we were given was quite small and there was a bad odour. No elevator.
Great location and beautifully designed and refurbished hotel. Being such a small hotel, spa was also a great facility. Not the most comfortable beds
The staff were very helpful and very pleasant. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The location was excellent. Only complaint I have is on the website it states the hotel has parking and this is not correct. I did mention this to the staff and they were going to amend the details.
Good location. Convenient parking. Bad airco.
Treated like royalty at this splendid, but intimate and charming hotel. This is the best overall hotel we have ever enjoyed,. The staff could not have been more courteous. You must dine in the hotel's lavishly decorated dining rooms. You will be specially cared for.
Both the location (across the beautiful church) and the interior are superb. The staff is very kind and helpful. A real quiet place to relax. Without a car, the hotel is a little far away from the dining area of the town. Although the quality of the breakfast is superb, I expect more than an American breakfast in a 5 stars hotel.
the staff was incredible helpful, the best of all our trip!!!!!
The ambiance
As luxurious as any Four Seasons, Park Hyatt or the Ritz Carlton in London but at a astonishingly low price (80 euros/night in August). The staff, the real distinguishing factor between a 4 and 5 star hotel, were more helpful than anyone could hope for. La Gazza Ladra was one of the most creative restaurants I have been to in italy and deserves its michelin star. Just know that the hotel is in the western part of town up the hill, so you definitely need a car or to get in early enough to get a taxi. That said, Patricia worked a miracle for me and got one of the La Gazza Ladra waiters to pick me up late at night.
Everything about the hotel was enjoyable: a beautiful old villa, welcoming and efficient staff and an equisite reataurant. If only there were more hotels like this!
Very friendly and competent staff. We were given an upgrade in the annex and liked the room bery much indeed. The food in the restaurant in the annex was superb. Highly recommended
beatifull except attic rooms.very good breakfast and location Modica Alta. Attic rooms not so good than the others,but there are moderate.
The owners were very unfriendly and watched every move you made like you were thieves. Poor location. Far away from lower Modica . Not at all handicap friendly.
This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Lovely building, beautifully furnished, outstanding customer care, choice of 2 excellent restaurants. They really make you feel wanted and in my view is incredible value for money. Nothing
The hotel and the staff exude class. A magic place to stay in a magic city and region of Sicily.
The service was wonderful - the reception staff being incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is just beautiful. We stayed in one of the cottages, the privace of which is incomprable. There isn't one negative comment to make
I really liked the warm welcome we received and also the attention to detail was wonderful. Beautiful rooms and great food. Peaceful, lovely grounds and very relaxing.
Excellent breakfast. Swimming pool was not clean when we were there. We stayed one night for dinner but were very disappointed with the service. It really did not approach the standard of any of the 5 star hotels that I have ever stayed at in Europe and the USA.
Beautiful facility I A bit too far from RAgusa
A unique and historical atmosphere, very friendly, superb food. A minor detail: they have a problem with too many flies by the pool.
An intersting historic property Poor choice of menus at dinner. Only 2 appetizers and one fish course and a lamb stew for outrageous prices.17 Euros for appetizera and 34 Eoros for mains.Sommelier unable to explain anything about the wines in English although 22 of the 24 guests were English speaking. Unable to lock our door. Telephones were out of order. Towels not changed daily. No instructions on how tv worked. Dissapointing
Quiet country setting. Overpriced restaurant. All wines less than 40 Euros - "not available". Did not have hot water for one hour. Response of Front Desk Manager to Internet issues - "not our problem"
Superb location in Ragusa. Breakfast at the Pasticceria was very nice too! Staff were very friendly. Room was lovely and spacious with all mod cons.
excellent breakfast at pasticcheria across the street
Room was converted from former grand town house and had plenty of character. Strange layout. The hotel was separate from reception area, which was not manned overnight, and therefore gave rise to anxiety about security.
There was no breakfast inside of the hotel but they gave us a voucher and we could eat and drink whatever we wanted at the local bar in front of the hotel. The quality was excellent. Our room was very stylish and big bathroom. You won't believe that there were real flowers in a vase in the room!!! There is no lift but the staircase is big enough to carry your bags. The hotel is not in the Ragusa-Ibla and you will need to walk (and staircases!) for 15-20 mins but it's really nice view to get there.
We lucked out and paid a great low season rate for essentially their penthouse room -- which was mod, spacious, and loft-like. I'm not sure what this room goes for in summer, but we felt like we had every luxury for a bargain price. No breakfast on site when we were there, but they gave us vouchers to some great local caffes and pasticcerie. And the location and views were great, too.
The staff were very helpful and pleasant, perhaps only one receptionist was less fluent in english to appear reluctant - the others were all excellent. The room was very clean and tidy and also well maintained. The room was larger than average and the facilities good. The views over the city are fantastic. Noise levels and other disturbance was generally low and a relaxed atmosphere prevails. Breakfast is adjacent at a fantastic caffe with the most delightful selection of foods. Without undue fuss and through good design and staff, the hotel makes guests feel both welcome and abit special too. City centre parking places can be abit of a challenge.as in any city.
Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent central location, delicious breakfast in the "pasticceria" across the street.
Good hotel, with good rooms and a nice location. The staff was helpful. For the price I got, it was an unbeatable affair
very central,parking just outside,beautiful renovation,extremely helpful staff,they even let us use their own computer.good breakfast. could use an elevator
Hotel in an old Italian building with rooms with functional and somehow cold modern design. Hotel located in the upper Town, so needs to walk or take the car to visit the historical Ragusa - can be dealt with. Though hotel still under works when we stayed. Nice typical trattoria 50 meters down the street.

Matthew McConaughey's career has gone from strength to strength since the 44 year old year old Texan took some time off from RomComs, in a move he called scary.
But that hiatus gave him the chance to take on more unusual and darker roles, including those in Killer Joe, Magic Mike and, most recently, Dallas Buyers Club - for which he's earned an Oscar nomination. And all signs point to the serious possiblity that he'll walk away with the honour at the ceremony in March.
But every actor has to start somewhere and while most will first remember McConaughey for his scene stealing ways in 1993's Dazed andConfused he actually made his debut a year earlier on TV show Unsolved Mysteries. The American series started in 1987, featuring re-enactments of popular mysteries and strangeness, also including stories of UFO abductions and other malarky.
Matthew McConaughey appeared in Season 5, Episode 12 with a role that required to be a) shirtless and b) not say a lot. He did both of these things admirably, as this GIF will totally explain.
I love the death acting at the end there. And the denim cut offs. Sexy.
The 24 year old basically did this thing for the next 15 years, then decided he was going to get himself an Oscar. Which he seems to have achieved. That's pretty awesome.

A witness to the Father's Day fire in Newark that killed six members of the same family told investigators that fireworks were set off outside the home moments before the blaze started.
Bruce For, whose neighboring property was partially destroyed by the fire on South 15th Street, wrote to detectives at the Essex County Prosecutor's Office about the events of that night.
The fire killed Reginald and Salome Stewart, a married couple, both 58 years old, and Ms. Stewart's sister, Natasha Kinsale, 47, all of whom lived at the house.
Ms. Stewart's daughter, Noreen Johnson, 43, and her son, identified by investigators as Stephon Sydney, 15 years old, were visiting from Georgia and staying at the home, along with 11-year-old Zion Forbes, a family member from East Orange, N.J.
Mr. For wrote that he heard laughing outside his neighbor's property coming from a group of "two or three males" about 3:15 a.m.
Shortly after, he wrote, he heard fireworks being set off, followed by laughter and then silence.
"All at once there was yelling and cursing," Mr. For wrote in his letter, which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. "Then someone in their car started honking their horn."
Mr. For wrote that when he went outside, his neighbors' home was on fire. He wrote that he noticed a young man, who he didn't recognize, standing in the street and shaking his head. After noticing Mr. For, the male ran and jumped over a wooden fence.
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office, which is investigating the fire, has previously said the blaze was accelerated by a large number of plastic decorative flowers that were positioned outside the home.
A spokesman for the prosecutor said that, in general, information received from potential witnesses during the course of an investigation is followed up. The witness's letter viewed by The Journal suggested it was sent to the prosecutor's office.
The spokesman added that the office said the cause and origin of the fire remained under investigation and witnesses were still being interviewed.
"There's still no indication that the fire is suspicious," the spokesman, Thomas Fennelly, said.
Mr. For moved out of the property as a result of the fire, which partially damaged his home. He said looters had broken into the property three times since the incident.
