Love Your Spouse Challenge, Day 3
Earlier this month I participated in the Facebook Love Your Spouse Challenge because I wanted to encourage others. I believe I still need to do that, so I'm sharing my posts here. May it give you hope!
Love Your Spouse Challenge, Day 3
I know there are folks out there pointing out this challenge shows the smiles and not the hard times marriage brings. That's why I'm doing this. To be authentic and to give hope. Marriage and parenthood is the toughest thing I'll ever be involved in.
This is February 1998. I'm pregnant with Brian and my smile is fake. I'd been so sick for the first trimester, I was still trying to find "normal." I'd been in a car accident that nearly totaled… our new van. I/Brian walked away without a scratch, but it took an emotional toll. My hormones were a mess and I received the message that I was a failure for nearly killing our child with the accident. I now know I was depressed (hormonal imbalance has always been an issue, I just didn't know it for a long time) and a form of PTSD from the accident. I isolated myself, hiding in our bedroom because I was so ashamed to feel this way during such a happy time. Tom didn't know what to do, so he left me alone.
If this sounds familiar to you, learn from us. I might have to initiate the talk, but it is worth it. Be honest. Explain you don't need him to fix you, just listen. If you need a hug, say so. If you need to snot on their shoulder, say it. I encourage you to pray together. It's talking, not fancy talk or religious speak. That is a powerful tool in your arsenal to break isolation.
We came out stronger (after a long time, it was a process) because of this and from that accident came Brian's name. Brian means strong, and we chose Paul as a reminder that God can use the most impossible people, and once chosen, you might have an issue/thorn that makes it hard to be used, but be available—and watch Him do mighty things through you.
And that's why I'm doing the challenge! Thanks, Susan, for tagging me. If you want to play along, please do!

Book Review: Unraveled by Heidi McCahan
Blind-sided by her questionable fiance, Lauren Carter returns to the one place she's been avoiding, the place she used to call home. As she's forced to look into the eyes of her past and even worse, her unraveling future she discovers that running only leaves you out of breath on a dead end street. Will she choose to unveil the secrets that haunt her? Or will she bury them once and for all and embrace a new life so different from the one she once held dear?
Blake Tully, wildly successful and breathtakingly winsome owner of a new rafting business, finds Lauren's unexpected reappearance confusing. As he torments himself with what if's and what should've been's, he can't mistake the feeling that crawls down his spine every time he looks at her. Although she broke his heart once, he longs to give his childhood sweetheart another chance, but can he convince her to stop running away when life gets tough? And can he forgive her when he discovers the reason she's been hiding?
Follow the story of these two shattered hearts as they discover the beauty of grace and forgiveness.
Unraveled is a perfect title because everything in and around Lauren's life is coming apart. I thought Heidi McCahan did an amazing job crafting a story where a family put band-aids on situations that needed God's leading and healing. And after running and hiding from people and secrets, everything comes to a head.
I loved this because it was full of chemistry and conflict. Unraveled had consequences and honest communication. I really enjoyed Unraveled for all these reasons, and I think you will, too.

Book Review: Dancing with Fireflies by Denise Hunter
Book Description:
Jade returns home to Chapel Springs after years of protecting her fragile heart. Then along comes Daniel, making her long to dance again.
Creative and complicated, Jade McKinley felt like a weed in a rose garden growing up in Chapel Springs. When she left, she thought she'd never look back. But now, pregnant, alone, and broke, she has no other choice but to return.
The mayor of Chapel Springs, Daniel Dawson, has been an honorary member of the McKinley family for years. While his own home life was almost non-existent, Daniel fit right into the boisterous McKinley family. He's loved Jade for years, but she always saw him as a big brother. Now that she's back, his feelings are stronger than ever.
As Jade attempts to settle in, nothing feels right. God seems far away, she's hiding secrets from her family, and she's strangely attracted to the man who's always called her "squirt." Finding her way home may prove more difficult than she imagined.
Dancing with Fireflies is in the running for my favorite book of 2014. I read it in one sitting, Jade and Daniel captivated me that deeply. Denise Hunter dealt so gracefully with tough topics. A physical assault resulting in a pregnancy. An unmarried woman expecting a child. Jade was well-developed and her fears were real. Even to trust someone as dependable as Daniel.
Daniel is a hero to swoon over. He cares about his community. He's loyal. He's always there. Romantic? Oh, so romantic. But he doesn't feel safe telling Jade he's loved her for years.
This is a beautiful romance wrought with conflict. Like I said, so well-crafted I kept turning the pages to learn what was next. I strongly encourage you to pick up Dancing with Fireflies.

Saturday Confession: I Don't Get Emotional
Each Saturday I'm posting a confession and inviting you to blog a confession of your own and link up. My goal is to build a community of people not afraid to share the truth, and grow from it. And as a reader, you'll perhaps see something that sounds familiar to your own story. And realize you aren't alone.
So, please write a post or find an older one and link up at the end.
And here's mine…
I'm not very emotional. I remember growing up and teasing my mom that she was so stoic she was wooden. Not much happened that would reveal a reaction out of her. She said it was her German heritage.
Well whatever it was, I'm a lot like her. When my now husband proposed, my roommate called my mom, not me. I was happy, elated even, but I'm just not the girl who runs in circles screaming and jumping for joy.
- Same for pregnancy announcements
- And births
- Writing victories
- And when our teen went to homecoming last weekend.
My mom teared up, grieving the little boy that is no more.
But I just took pictures.
I'm pretty sure things will change. It sure isn't because I don't care about these things, these people and events mean the world to me. I think the clinker will be when the oldest leaves for good. He's very like minded, so we get the same jokes, stories, and we've had great conversations. He'll be the first to leave, and I think that's going to unpeel the layer that unleashes my emotions.
Anyone else not that emotional?
A2Z Meme: Ultrasounds
Boy, writing a post on the letter "U" is a toughie. I wanted to do something out of the box, so I'm going with ultrasounds.
I've had a few. For those that have enjoyed good health, maybe you don't realize ultrasounds can highlight the best of times, the blandest of times, and the worst times.
For me, I've had an ultrasound reveal ovarian cysts.
I've had tears of joy when the doctor announced healthy pregnancies.
Strong heartbeat.
Early labor, but all was well.
I once was the first ultrasound of the year, but for all the wrong reasons.
That ultrasound confirmed a miscarriage.
I've had to drink lots of water for some, none for others. Some inserted in one place, others started somewhere else.
I've felt everything from uggh, urgency, to underwhelmed.
And that's my ultrasound summary.
How about you? What was your experience? Anyone not have one?
Surrendering Needless Suffering: Guest Blogger Shawna
One of my favorite things to do is to serve as a mentor mom with my local MOPS-Mothers of Preschoolers chapter. Earlier in the year a MOPS mom shared her story with the group and I was really impacted by it. I have a feeling many moms suffered and didn't receive encouragement like Shawna has to give. If you know a pregnant mom with HG, please pass this information on. Thanks, Shawna, for sharing!
Growing up I had always heard how sick with morning sickness my mother was while she was pregnant with me. I never truly understood how sick she was until I became pregnant with my first child. I was so ecstatic that God had blessed me with this miracle. My husband and I were overjoyed; all of our prayers had been answered. Until one day, I woke up one morning with a wave of nausea flooding over me and the extreme urge to vomit. I then made the now all too familiar run to the toilet and this became the beginning of nine full months of misery.
I threw up multiple times a day from the first couple of weeks and it lasted until I was at the hospital ready to push. The first two months were the worst. I could barely get out of bed let alone eat or drink. I began to waste away. I had trips to the ER for IV fluids and medication. I was in such misery that one day I found myself laying on the bathroom floor in agony, crying and pleading to God to stop this. My lowest point was me telling God that I would not be upset if I had a miscarriage. I was begging for an end and I knew God was the only one who could help me.
I was diagnosised with a condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum or extreme morning sickness. 90% of pregnant women suffer some sort of morning sickness and of those only 8% of women have HG. I was one of the lucky 8%.
I was given medication that enabled me to function but did not take away the nausea or vomiting. I felt that I was on a constant roller coaster 24 hours a day.
I was thankful that my family understood what I was going through but they were all in California and others were not so understanding. Everyone wanted to know what was wrong with me. I was asked by a friend if I had cancer because of the grey color of my skin and the medications that I was taking. My mother in law was certain that I was harming the baby and even my best friend told me that I looked like crap. No pregnancy glow for me. If you have never had HG you cannot understand what it is like. Many other mothers would tell me, "Oh, I was sick every morning for the first 3 weeks. All you have to do is eat some crackers and club soda; you'll be good as new." If one more person told me to eat a cracker I was going to scream! No one understood what I was going through and I felt very alone and spent many hours praying for help.
I was told about this awesome group called the HERS Foundation and its website. It is a great forum for research and treatment of HG. The message boards are filled with horrible stories of women suffering. HG is little known by the public and even by some doctors.
There are stories of women who were told by their OB's that this was all in their head, it can't be THAT bad, or that they just did not want this baby bad enough or even being referred to see a psychiatrist. Some women even went to the extreme of ending their pregnancy to stop the suffering.
There is no know cause or cure but many think that it is genetically passed from mother to daughter. HERS is doing genetic research to find a cure. You can have HG and a healthy pregnancy. I luckily had a great and helpful doctor. I went on to lose 40lbs and looked terrible but other than that I had a normal pregnancy and thankfully an easy delivery. I even went on to have another child and this time I only lost 35lbs.
Looking back on this I wonder why millions of women become pregnant each year but the things that we go through during our pregnancy are still a secret. God has given us an amazing gift so why don't women share what really happens. I think that it is our duty as women to share with others, teach them and speak freely. How many of you while you were pregnant sat there and said, "Why did no one tell me about this?" I ask you here today to help spread the word about HG and help women who are suffering needlessly.
All in all I ended up with two beautiful and healthy kids and I learned many things by going through this. I learned that I am a lot stronger both physically and emotionally than I had thought. I learned that God does answer all of your prayers but does not always give you the answer you were wanting. And my last lesson is that I now know why I am an only child!

Who is Changing Health Insurance Coverage? Empirical Evidence on Policyholder Dynamics
Long-term health insurance contracts provide policyholders with the option of lapsing coverage or switching to another tariff within the same insurance company. We empirically analyze policyholder behavior regarding contract commitment in a large dataset of German private health insurance contracts. We show that short-term as well as long-term premium development, along with premium adjustment frequency, affect lapse and tariff switch rates. Moreover, the sales channel has a strong impact on switching behavior, indicating that policyholder choice is not fully independent of sales representatives. Our results are important for risk assessment and risk management of portfolios of health insurance contracts and provide better understanding of the dynamics of policyholder behavior in health insurance.

This has been a huge year for Mobi Dixon: The East London-born super-producer snagged three South African Music Award nominations, had his City Rains single remixed by Louie Vega and made a massive splash with this album's debut single Trigger ft. Inga Hina.
Live The Music represents this talented music maker's skills - his clipped house beats, generous basslines, propulsive percussion and breezily hypnotic chords form the perfect bedrock for an array of vocalists to exercise their song-craft, and there are lyricists galore on this release. Monique Bingham is back on the hook-heavy Mixed Up Chick, while other lesser-knowns shine in the confines of these clever tracks, including Nana Mbawuli, Pomakazi, Berita, Sakhile Moleshe, Bantu Soul and 2Bad.
There are a few extra special inclusions on Live The Music as Mobi applies his rhythmic science to remixes of Mi Casa & Ladysmith Black Mambazo (the memorable My Sugar) and breakout Afro / R&B star Tresor on hit single Never Let Me Go.
There's one more reason this album will be the year's essential Afro-house purchase: a collaboration with drum duo Black Motion, and as one would expect it's an explosion of tribal percussion, dramatic house synths and distinctly Mzansi motifs.
Mobi Dixon's big year just got even larger with this flawless release. Watch out for new Trigger music video launching soon!

Choose from Two Wedding Venues
The Wedding Pavilion for larger weddings or Ladywood House for weddings with less than 40 guests.
The Wedding Pavilion - 400 Guests
Originally a barn conversion, the Wedding Pavilion has been designed and purpose built for Wedding Celebrations and offers an attractive alternative to the traditional marquee or tent. Rain or shine, The Pavilion is the perfect venue...
Ladywood Estate is well established as one of the UK's top wedding venues. As well as numerous well known celebrities, we have also hosted weddings for couples from all over the UK including local towns and cities: Rutland, Leicester, Nottingham, Northampton, Birmingham, Coventry, London, Cambridge and Oxford.
Ladywood is unique as it only hosts one wedding each 7 days, each wedding is totally bespoke and often themed and many of our our brides choose a weekend or a long weekend rather than a wedding day.

Stop analyzing and take action
Aug 31st, 2015 by debbieruston
Do you feel like you have to have everything perfectly figured out in advance? Do you find that you procrastinate and don't take the actions you know you should? Would you consider yourself a perfectionist? Do you analyze everything to death? Do you feel like you are often stalled and taking no action is the result because you have so much analysis going on in your mind? How many times have you been stalled in the action steps you should be taking because you are attempting to figure out every possible step and outcome in advance?....

Jason Varitek said Tuesday night he is "close" to reaching agreement to rejoin the Red Sox in some capacity, and several media outlets reported that sources within the organization confirmed that the team will hire its former captain very soon.
ESPN Boston reported that Varitek -- who retired after the Red Sox declined to bring him back as a player after the 2011 season -- would be named special assistant to general manager Ben Cherington and would "be encouraged to learn the Red Sox system from top to bottom and be involved in a variety of areas, including player development and talent evaluation". WEEI.com said Varitek may "head to Florida in the coming days to work with Red Sox minor-leaguers taking part in the fall instructional league".
Those sources also said, however, that talk of Varitek becoming the Sox manager is premature. It is almost certain he would not be the team's choice to replace Bobby Valentine in 2013 if, as expected, Valentine is fired.

I know it looks beautiful and I have always wanted to go there in the summer to visit and partake in some outdoor activities, but don't know about living there year round. Try to persuade me one way or the other so I know if I should even consider this option. Additional info. I'm a Blackhawk pilot, so I won't be out sleeping on the ground with the grunts or anything. I'm also married with no kids just a English bulldog, but plan on starting a family soon.

Appledore Disasters
Appledore was thrown into a state of grief on hearing that the schooner Agnes was lost and that Captain George Cawsey and his son Alfred of Appledore were both drowned. The Rival, sailed by Captain J. Lamey of Appledore, and the Cornflower, owned and sailed by Captain J Cox of Appledore were also lost but the crews were rescued.
Christmas Present
A quaint style bedroom door knocker would make an acceptable present . We have a good selection Bishop of 16 Market Place, Bideford .
A New Motor Car – A 20 Horse power , four cylinder, five seated touring car for £170 completely equipped with hood, windscreen . speedometer , gas lamps, generator and three oil lamps – this hardly seems possible , But our readers will find that the Ford motor car is offered by the Bideford Motor works at this low price.

Sentimental Coal Dust With a Brass Band
You won't have any trouble separating the heroes from the villains in Mark Herman's film ''Brassed Off,'' a politically charged British comedy whose working-class characters smile bravely through their coal-dusted tears. The good guys are the working-class families of Grimley, a tightly knit Yorkshire coal-mining village whose brass band is the pride of the community. The bad guys are the duplicitous Tory Government officials who have instituted a pit-closing program that is throwing thousands of miners across Britain out of work.
In ''Brassed Off,'' which is set in 1992, the Grimley mine is a target for closing even though it still has large reserves of coal. In a coming local election, a majority of the miners are expected to vote to accept a Government severance package. But the outcome hardly matters. As one icy official sneers, ''Coal is history.'' The members of the brass band, which was established in 1881, are painfully aware that if coal is history, so is their beloved ensemble.
''Brassed Off'' is shamelessly manipulative and sentimental, but in an agreeably familiar way. At the heart of the film stands Danny (Pete Postlethwaite), the band's crusty, intrepid leader, whose severe coughing fits are an ominous sign of things to come. Shortly before the band is to compete in the national championships in London, Danny collapses and is hospitalized. A film that wears its bleeding heart conspicuously on its sleeve just has to have a scene in which the tearful band members serenade their stricken conductor with a midnight performance of ''Danny Boy'' under the hospital windows.
Danny's plight is only the central drama around which several other conflicts revolve. One day, out of the blue, who should pop up in Grimley but Gloria (Tara Fitzgerald), the impossibly beautiful, musically gifted granddaughter of a former local bandleader. Within minutes of her appearance, she has picked up her fluegelhorn to sail through a note-perfect rendition of part of a horn concerto by Joaquin Rodrigo.
But there's a catch. The angelic Gloria, it turns out, works for the British Coal Board and is in town to prepare a report on the Grimley mine. The movie is so in love with her that it barely develops this schism. It rushes desperately to establish that she is really the good-hearted dupe of her unscrupulous bosses. Doubts about her loyalty, however, strain her quick-blooming romance with a fellow band member, Andy (Ewan McGregor, from ''Trainspotting'').
Finally, there is Danny's financially strapped son Phil (Stephen Tompkinson), a miner with a wife and family who supplements his income by performing at children's parties as a clown. When Phil votes to accept the payoff, he is racked with guilt, his wife walks out on him, and after delivering an incoherent tirade against the Tory party in a church, he contemplates suicide.
As the movie stumbles between political broadsides and hearty working-class comedy (the kind that finds fun in excruciatingly out-of-tune playing and in the spectacle of coal miners' weather-beaten wives dyeing their hair purple to become groupie cheerleaders for the band), its tone becomes muddied. And its lunges into anger make its feel-good climax, in which the Grimleyites compete in the championships with Danny in attendance, look like the application of a Band-Aid to a gaping wound. There is more blood coming out than one little strip of plastic can easily stanch.
''Brassed Off'' is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It includes strong language and sexual situations.
Written and directed by Mark Herman; director of photography, Andy Collins; edited by Mike Ellis; music by Trevor Jones; production designer, Don Taylor; produced by Steve Abbott; released by Miramax Films. Running time: 107 minutes. This film is rated R.
WITH: Pete Postlethwaite (Danny), Tara Fitzgerald (Gloria), Ewan McGregor (Andy) and Stephen Tompkinson (Phil).

Well, checking in briefly. Things are still a bit crazy, my sister is struggling to cope, and not doing well. She and Ben were together 8 years, and never spent more than 36 hours apart. They were ALWAYS together. She is struggling to adapt, Ben did everything for her, she has no idea how to handle a bank account, pay a bill, or most things like that, he did EVERYTHING so she didnt have to. She's getting a crash course in adulthood on top of losing her soulmate.
Ben is buried only 500 yards or so from my parents front door, so she makes a trek to his grave daily. She redecorates it every day.
Ben was not just a brother in law/ son in law. He was very much apart of our family. My mom moved him into the house when he was 17 because his parents have addictions and he needed some direction. He got his G.E.D and started his job right away (The only job he ever had, had been there 6 years). He really turned into a good man. He was always so willing to help, given any chance, he would help anyone, even people he barely knew. Everything in his life got 100% of his energy, he never did anything halfway. He became a father at 20, and worked hard to provide for his family. He asked the nurses at the hospital a million questions, because he wanted to do everything right for my nephew. He was jealous when my sister breast fed, because he WANTED to get up in the middle of the night for feedings (He did anyway, so my sister didnt feel alone). He changed every diaper he could, and loved spending time with my nephew. I dont know many 20 year old men like that...
There is a void in our life. A HUGE void.
He was sooooo looking forward to being "Uncle Ben" and I am so saddened that my baby has a guardian angel instead of an uncle here... Its hard to get excited when I know we'll be one short in the family ....

Elvis grabs RBC win
By Paul Higham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
RBC Roosendaal grabbed a dramatic late win at NAC Breda.RBC Roosendaal grabbed what could be a vital three points with a dramatic late win at NAC Breda.
Roosendaal are struggling near the foot of the Eredivisie table, and it looked as though they were set for another defeat when they fell behind at NAC.
Ali Boussaboun fired in the opener for the hosts at the FujiFilm Stadion after just 15 minutes of play.
Jesper Hakansson drew RBC level just before the half hour mark, but it looked like they would have to settle for a point.
However, with just a minute left to play, former Fulham striker Elvis Hammond popped up with what could be a vital winner.
Hammond's winner gave Roosendaal a vital three points which gives them a glimmer of hope of getting out of trouble.

Author's Note – I have no idea where this came from…I'm fairly certain I needed sleep when I wrote this. Disclaimer – I do not own Lucius Malfoy or any of the HP world.
It had to be right.
When he walked into a room, he had to command immediate attention. For this reason, and this reason alone, he had cautiously made his way to the non-magical part of London. Carefully casting a Disillusionment charm on himself, he watched the…the…fashion show.
I have no idea what…fashion…this is supposed to be displaying.
He shook his head. He was not here to look at clothing. He was watching the walk the models used. All of them had a particular glide or strut that emphasized their best features.
There – that one.
One model in a particular, a male with long dark hair stalked down the runway. He studied the way the man held his body, his head and how he placed his feet. Everything drew attention to the man's hair and face. A sharp turn, or a slow glance, all of it highlighted the man's power and control – over himself and his audience.
The silent watcher slipped from the room and Disapperated back to his manor. Inside the empty ballroom, he placed a Pensieve at one end and deposited the memory of the model inside. With a flick of his wand, he set the memory in motion and set it to repeat.
Conjuring a line of mirrors, Lucius Malfoy began to imitate and practice the man's walk and behavior. If he could get that same walk, same look down, he would owe the man a debt. He mused on it as he continued to practice his walk.
Hmm, perhaps I will repay the Mudblood with a swift, painless death.

Back in February 2009, for the first time in Stock Car racing history, an international team was entered into the prestigious Super Stocks Team Championships, staged at Palmerston North, New Zealand.
The Teams Championships are New Zealand's biggest spectator sport. With an atmosphere that is even greater! Teams are entered from all corners of NZ, where is it regarded as a great honour to represent your club/region.
This unique event requires drivers to race together, racing tactically utilising team members as runners and blockers. Drivers must be able to read the situation mid-race and adapt accordingly to both try and win the race but also to stop the opposition. This is totally different to racing in the UK where its all drivers for themselves. In the NZ Team Championships driver must be aware of where all the other teams cars are throughout the race. 100% concentration is required. These races are not only tough physically... but mentally.
Over the last 8 years Team GB has won 19 out of their 31 races and finished on the podium in 2009, 2010 2012 and 2016
As you can imagine, entering an International team to this major event gained massive publicity and with the major plans for the return of Team GB in the 2017 championships, will see our squad looking to build on their previous experiences and success. Now that the New Zealanders know the capabilities of Team GB we are guaranteed maximum exposure for our team sponsors. Team GB are real conteners and the Kiwi's know it!
No team has come closer than Team GB to taking the champions silverware out of New Zealand in the 33 year history of the team championships - 2017 could see that happen!- See more at: http://www.teamgbracing.co.uk
Good News for Team GB in the Teams Championship in New Zealand.
Driver #3: 207 Ben Hurdman.. https://t.co/JyDhH89qmM
Team GB is dedicated to gaining maximum exposure for all its sponsors.
There are a number of packages available to suit your company's budget.

Assessing the Anti-corruption Strategies: Theoretical and Empirical Models
The preoccupations about conceiving and promoting efficient anti-corruption strategies exist in most states, especially in the developing countries. The opportunity of such strategies derives from the direct link, demonstrated theoretically and empirically, between the effects of the anti-corruption strategies and government performance, translated both in the economic and social results and living standard, welfare etc. In the last decades, the transnational actors – UN, World Bank, OECD, EU etc. - have affirmed as promoters of own anti-corruption strategies, directing the states' efforts, conferring adequate levels of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency or sustainability. The South-Eastern European states incorporate own anti-corruption strategies in the framework of general strategies, aiming the government reform in the context of the European integration process. Strengthening the public integrity, reducing corruption, developing a genuine climate of economic freedom become important objectives concerning the impact on government performance. The paper incorporates briefly the main characteristics of anti-corruption strategies, developed by transnational actors and it aims to shape theoretical and empirical frameworks for the assessment of anti-corruption strategies. The focus on some South-Eastern European states has a demonstrative character, as the presented analyses may be extended to various geo-political areas

text: Ah, good guess, but wrong! N17 is the postal (zip) code of the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. It is also my nickname on the Spurs Australia message board. My signature tag is of course from Star Trek IV, as is Al's! I hadn't really thought of my nickname as the first part of Enterprise's registry, but I will now! It is actually NCC-1701. As for the current Enterprise (CVN-65), I've heard that she might be on her way down to Australia in a couple of years time. If so, she should come to Fremantle which means I'd have a good chance at getting to see her. Live Long and Prosper!

It was the first time we have been at the Costa del Sol and found this condominium through this website.
The bottom line was - we had a great time and it is a great place!
The parking garage is not the biggest, so you may prefer a smaller rental car and not a huge SUV or a station wagon. There is a great restaurant in the Dominium Beach complex with good food, the garden looks great and the pool is fine - the beach was not to sandy and we would recommend beach shoes.
Bathrooms, beds, kitchen and the lounge have been very clean and in a very good condition. For me the bed was to hard, but that is just my point of view, others in our group loved the hard mattress. The internet only worked in the lounge or outside, so if you have to work make sure the weather is good during your stay.
Outside there is a terrace on the same level which is nice to eat and have a drink, you will find a roof terrace via a small outside stair as well. This one is pretty big and has nice views.
This was our third year to stay at Dominion Beach but my first time to use this apartment and it is just as described by the owner. The apartment is very spacious well maintained and really well fitted out even down to shopping bags to take to the local supermarket.The added bonus of Wi Fi and Sky Sports ensured teenage son was happy. The roof terrace is really spacious and a nice place to watch the sun go down. We arrived to a spotless apartment and Sarah's information book in the apartment and directions from the airport are really good for first time visitors. The booking process with Sarah was very easy and nothing was a problem or to much trouble. The apartment complex has a really nice pool area with plenty of sun beds and when it got to hot at the pool we just walked out the gate onto the beach which again has plenty of sun beds and there is no charge for using them. No visit to the beach or complex would be complete without a chat with Paul who seems to spent his day on a surf board and is very willing to teach anybody how to use it. There is also a very good restuarant in the complex with wonderful views of Gib. from its terrace and again nothing was to much trouble for the staff.
The complex is about ten minutes drive from Estepona with is wonderful prom and many fine restuarants. There is also a really nice Marina at the end of the prom with lots of good restaurants and bars. Our favourite restuarants were Robbies or la Pampa for a special night out. For a cheaper restaurants we liked El Rincon a nice Italian just off the sea front,The Sur steakhouse,la Escollera in the port for fish cheap and cheerful but only cooks fish a bit more upmarket for fish is El Pescodor on the sea front. There are so many good restaurtants and tapas bars its really hard to go wrong. There is a really nice buzz in Estepona town at night with lots of small squares to sit in and watch the world go by every square seems to have an ice cream parlor. I really liked the exploring the narrow streets each street decked with wonderful flowers in different coloured pots .if you are in San Pedro try the Passion Cafe beside McDonalds they do a really good two course special for 15euro and there cakes are to die for. We really enjoyed our stay in Dominion Beach and this apartment did not disapoint us in any way. If you are looking for English pubs and late night bars Estepona is not the place for you but you are only 15 minutes from the night life of Puerto Banus and Marbella.
We stayed here with 4 kids in summer 2012 and had a great holiday. The flat is as in the pictures and is extremely comfortable and the owners and managing agent are very easy to deal with. The living space is good, and outdoor space is excellent. The electric awning over the table is great Master bedroom is large, the 2 remaining are smaller but still adequate. Ducted air conditioning is efficient and quiet.
The resort is also very good and very upmarket. The gardens are beautiful and there is an army of gardeners working there every day. The beachfront pool was a bit busy and deck chairs would be file by around 10am due to it being high season so we settled on the garden pool which is quieter. By the time we left on the 30th August both pools were pretty quiet. Apart from the beachfront pool the resort is pretty quiet even in high season.
Only negative was that the beach is a bit stony and so our kids were not so keen on it, but that is the case with much of the beaches in the area. Apparently they do pump sand in occasionally but if you expect perfectly sandy beaches it might be worth checking.
We would happily come back here but we now have a 5th child and need a 4th bedroom.
We have good memories of this flat and anyone staying here will be satisfied.
This is the second time i have booked this apartment, & i have already booked for another week in September. The apartment is perfect for up to 6 people, & is very comfortable & has everything you would need for a relaxing stay. The balconies & roof terrace are a real feature. Recommended.
Apartment is as described and completely met our expectations - no complaints at all. We were 3 couples, so having 3 bathrooms is a definite plus point, and there is plenty of room to socialise together or find a quiet corner if you want to. Pool area is fantastic, and the beach bar is another bonus. Within a half hour drive of some fantastic golf courses - Finca Cortesin & La Reserva are definitely worth the extra euros. Very close to Estepona which we didn't explore enough. The Carrefour at Estepona is 5 minutes away, huge, and ridiculously cheap - make the effort to shop there rather than any of the smaller supermarkets. Real highlight for us was the huge roof terrace which allowed us to enjoy the evening sun late into the evening.
Would definitely return to this apartment, and would highly recommend to others.
We have sometimes been very disappointed with reality of what you have booked versus what the website promises. Not in this case. In fact the pictures don't do justice to this apartment. We spent a glorious two weeks there over the Xmas period and were very sad to leave. Right from the get go it was a very pleasant experience with Sarah being most helpful with every small question we threw at her. The instructions on getting to the apartment were clear and the accompanying information was also very useful.
The complex is very secure and has the most fantastic pool complex right on the beach. Secure gates can be used by residents to get out onto the beach itself and there are pleasant walks in both directions.
The apartment itself is extremely well furnished and the extra TV in the bedroom definitley cami handy for the usual sport v Downton type xmas conflicts. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was a comprehensive range of cutlery and glassware. The real 'stars' of this apartment however are the outside patios and roof terrace. We spent may happy hours soaking up the sunshine on the large lounge patio.
We would certainly love to return to this apartment again, in summer next time so we can use the roof terrace to full advantage in the evenings because it looked stunning up there, and would recommend it to anybody without any hesitation at all.

Mario Mario, Jr. was born into a lower class Italian-American family living in Brooklyn. His father, Mario Sr., was a carpenter, and gained the nickname "Jumpman" from his acrobatic prowess, a skill which his two sons would come to excel at. "Jumpman" Mario gained local admiration after he singlehandedly subdued a gorilla, Donkey Kong (later Cranky Kong), that attacked his fiance Pauline.
Mario Jr. was instilled with a strong sense of justice and morality by his parents, despite his job as a simple plumber. He, along with his brother Luigi, would soon gain his own chance at heroism when he encountered agents of the Koopa King, Bowser, who had accidentally made their way through a dimensional portal into the New York sewers. Tracking the strange creatures back to the portal, Mario and Luigi ended up in the Mushroom Kingdom, which had recently fallen to Bowser and his army. The Mario Bros. succeeded in overthrowing Bowser and rescuing Princess Peach Toadstool, but found the portal had disappeared, stranding them in the Mushroom Kingdom.
With the thankful Peach's aid, the Mario Bros. built a new life for themselves in the strange new dimension. Over the years, Mario and Luigi, sometimes aided by others, would go on to protect the Mushroom Kingdom and other worlds from a variety of threats, including: liberating the dream world of Subcon from the frog-like tyrant Wart; thwarting a second invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom by Bowser, this time aided by his seven children; preventing Bowser from conquering the isolated Dinosaur Land, home of the dinosaur-like Yoshis; saving the neighboring kingdom of Sarasaland from the alien invader Tatanga; clashing with his greedy cousin Wario, who had also made his way to the Mushroom Kingdom; saving the Kingdom from the dimensional conqueror Smithy, this time even working with Bowser; liberating Princess Peach from captivity in her own castle at the hands of Bowser; aiding the Star Spirits in regaining the powerful Star Rod from Bowser's possession; cleaning the tropical Isle Delfino from a pollution attack, despite being framed for the assault himself; saving the neighboring Beanbean Kingdom from the schemes of the witch Cackletta; solving the riddle of the Thousand Year Door in the town of Rogueport, as well as stopping the mysterious conqueror Grodus; stopping the time-traveling alien race of Shroobs from taking over the past and present Mushroom Kingdoms; stopping Bowser from his galaxy-spanning quest to take over the entire Mushroom Kingdom universe; preventing the mad Count Bleck from destroying the multiverse; and guiding Bowser from inside his body to defeat the insane Fawful.
Mario's latest quest may be his grandest yet. Along with his brother, Princess Peach, Bowser, and other heroes and villains, both new and old, he has been chosen by the god-like Master and Crazy Hands to oppose the schemes of the dictator Doctor Doom, who has set his sights on conquering the Omniverse. Mario will be sent to unfamiliar locations and battle new and deadly enemies in his latest adventure, as one of the Super Smash Bros.
Although human, Mario has trained himself to a high degree, and is an accomplished acrobat and martial artist, having perfected his own fighting style. He is especially renowned for his jumping ability, and frequently incapacitates foes by jumping on their heads.
Mario is also skilled in the use of a hard, wooden mallet, which he uses as a short-range weapon. He also carries on his person native-Mushroom-Kingdom items, including Super Mushrooms, which grant enhanced strength; Fire Flowers, which grant him the ability to project fire from his hands; Power Stars, which grant temporary invulnerability; and Metal Boxes, which transform his skin and clothing into organic metal.
Mario is a highly charismatic individual, and is respected by many friends and enemies alike. He also demonstrates a quick learning ability, and has been known to master techniques and items he has never seen before in a short amount of time.
