Tri-Cities Airport is the closest commercial airport about 45 minutes away in Johnson City, TN. Other major airports include Greensboro about an hour and a half away and Charlotte about 2 hours away. The closest smaller airport is Mountain City.
The place is beautiful. Excellent views from the cabin. Very well maintained and clean. My only issue was parking. Had to park on a steep hill and back out. We had three cars and there was plenty of room to park along the driveway. With that exception is a great very roomy cabin in a beautiful area.
Great cabin with good view of the lake. Definite cabin feel up on the mountainside. Need good directions to get to the right cabin.
Beautiful views, great location
Enjoyed the porch for sunrise & sunset. Canoe was a great way to explore the lake.
Easy access to Roan Mountain (and I think a view of Roan from the side porch)
Looking forward to a return trip
No question, the home, views and lake were 5 stars individually however the driveway was very steep and unpaved. The 5 minute walk from the dock wasn't too bad for the members of our group that could do it but half of our group needed a car to make it up the steep hill. All in all, the vacation was wonderful and would recommend this home to anyone planning a trip to this area.
Some information for future guests:
1. The cabin is located on hillside with very steep access road which some part of it at the end is not asphalted.
2. Google Maps is not precise there. Use these coordinates for the exact location of the cabin:
3. The canoe is located at the front left corner of Dock B which is about 5-10 min walk from the cabin. Use the same entrance password to unlock the canoe. The paddles and life jackets can be found in the washer/dryer room.
4. Although the cabin is nice and clean, the bedsheets are not! There were also hundreds of ladybugs in one of the room and we used the vacuum cleaner to clear them.
5. You will get back your deposit in about 3 weeks after check out.
7. Owner, housekeeping and maintenance were kind, fast and helpful.
We had a great weekend at the cabin! The house is beautiful and very clean. We had small children with us and felt comfortable in the house. Would recommend bringing a baby gate for the stairs as they are a little more dangerous than normal stairs (even thought they are beautiful). We rented a boat for a day and were able to use the dock with ease. The lake is gorgeous with lots of little coves for swimming and picnics. The house was spacious but homey and we will absolutely consider another trip to the house. Our only critique is a little more signage to find the house since GPS was not the most accurate after getting on Draft RD. we needed some assistance with a wasp nest on the deck and the maintenance response was fabulous! Thank you for opening your home for us to enjoy a wonderful weekend at the lake!

Gary Carter Baseball
February 28, 2012 by staff
Gary Carter Baseball, Gary Carter, a Hall of Fame catcher from Fullerton who helped lift the New York Mets to a dramatic victory over the Boston Red Sox in the 1986 World Series, died Thursday in Florida. He was 57 and had brain cancer.
Nicknamed "Kid" for his grit and youthful exuberance, Carter was an 11-time All-Star who hit .262 with 324 home runs and 1,225 runs batted in during 18 seasons playing for the Montreal Expos, Mets, San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.
His goal to become a major league manager unfulfilled, Carter was coaching at Palm Beach Atlantic University near his Florida home last May when he experienced headaches and forgetfulness and was diagnosed with brain cancer.
"Nobody loved the game of baseball more than Gary Carter," Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver said Thursday. "Nobody enjoyed playing the game of baseball more than Gary Carter. He wore his heart on his sleeve every inning he played. For a catcher to play with that intensity in every game is special."
Former Expos pitcher Steve Rogers, who is now a players' union special assistant, played with Carter in Montreal. "Gary and I grew up together in the game, and during our time with the Expos we were as close as brothers, if not closer," Rogers said. "Gary was a champion. He was a 'gamer' in every sense of the word – on the field and in life. He made everyone else around him better, and he made me a better pitcher."
Angels Manager Mike Scioscia, who was Carter's teammate with the Dodgers in 1991, remembered him as "not only an incredible ballplayer but an incredible person."
"I always admired him when I played against him," Scioscia said, "and it was a pleasure to play with him."
Born April 8, 1954, in Culver City, Carter was raised in Fullerton. His father, Jim, was an aircraft worker, and his older brother, Gordon, played two years in the Giants' minor league system.
Carter told Sport magazine that a turning point in his life was the death of his mother when he was 12. Inge Carter suffered from leukemia and died when she was 37.
"I took it very personally, very hard," Carter said. "One thing it did was turn me off God for a while and onto sports. I really feel everything good I did on a field was for my mother."

The Priests' biggest ambition to sing with Lady Gaga
It may sound like an unlikely musical collaboration and the ultimate clash of styles - but Northern Ireland's singing clergymen The Priests have revealed they want to perform with Lady Gaga.
The multi-platinum selling trio - brothers Fr Eugene and Fr Martin O'Hagan from Londonderry and Fr David Delargy from Ballymena - said their biggest musical ambition is to belt out hymns with the racy New York pop icon, insisting it would be a "wonderful meeting of minds".
Fr Eugene said: "Lady Gaga is a fantastic artist and performer. She's very unpredictable.
"Music opens a world of possibilities and if we ever got the chance to sing with her I hope we would do so harmoniously.
"She's a fantastic musician and we respect her greatly."
Crooning sibling Fr Martin admitted he was entranced by the 30-year-old Perfect Illusion hit-maker the first time he heard her sing.
He said: "She did something from The Sound of Music and that was pretty much the first thing I ever heard. I was so intrigued. I thought, 'Oh my goodness, she is capable of singing so wonderfully'. I think it would be a wonderful meeting of minds if we got the opportunity."
The classical music sensations, who are all full-time clergymen, also revealed that moves are still under way to make a Hollywood movie about their lives.
Progress on the film, which will be called Raising The Roof, has been slow since it was first announced almost five years ago.
But in an interview with The Catholic Universe, Fr Martin admitted fans could be waiting some time before the project - which has yet to attract a major production company - reaches the silver screen.
He said: "Raising The Roof is a distinct possibility, but you know how pipelines can be? They can be extremely long.
"And at the moment, it's somewhere in the pipeline."
Meanwhile, the talented trio - whose first album in 2008 sold more than three million copies, making it the fastest-selling classical debut of all time - will release their fourth studio album next month. They will also take temporary leave of their parishes in November for a string of live dates, which will include US performances, and two concerts in Londonderry and Belfast shortly before Christmas.

Senator Malcolm a Smith, Congresswoman Carolyn Mccarthy and Former Congressman Floyd Flake Join Forces WITH Community and Civic Leaders After Rash of Shootings in Queens
Angry local residents rally to take guns off the street after shootings in Queens and Arizona
(St. Albans, NY)- Today, New York State Senator Malcolm A. Smith, Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy and former Congressman Floyd Flake joined community and civic leaders to protest the rise of shootings and crime throughout the borough of Queens.
A recent killing at a local grocery store in Queens has alarmed residents with no answers to the murder. The increase in shootings within the last several months has caused concerns to the health and safety of the community. The statewide anti-gun initiative Operation SNUG was discussed at today's press conference by officials to get guns off the streets to reduce killings and violence.
"Gun violence affects us all - white or black, rich or poor - illegal guns terrorize neighborhoods and tear families apart. For too long, the deadly specter of illegal guns has gone unchecked. Our children are dying at the hands of gun violence, but through our commitment to SNUG, we can put a stop to that deadly trend now and return our streets to their rightful owners, the people of New York," said Senator Smith.
Operation SNUG is a comprehensive response to gun violence that works through existing and experienced community-based organizations; SNUG utilizes small teams of violence interrupters and community outreach staff; coordinates efforts with police, community leaders, and faith leaders. The egregious act of violence this past weekend on U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona who supported the needs of her community demonstrates the need for Operation SNUG to become a national initiative.
It also demonstrates the need for the Gun Buy-Back program which was extremely successful here in New York to become a nationwide initiative. There is also a need for national support for Mayor Bloomberg's gun control program. Although the Mayor was unable to attend today's press conference he offered his full support of Operation SNUG and emphasized the need to have gun control in the nation's forefront.
"The horrific tragedy involving my colleague and many others in Tucson this weekend reminds us that we must all work together to fight gun violence in America and keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of the wrong people," said U.S. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, who is introducing legislation to limit access to the kinds of high-capacity ammunition clips used by shooter Jared Loughner as well as the gunman who killed her husband and injured her son in a 1993 shooting. "Our goals will require a multifaceted, preventative approach like Operation SNUG, engaging community members and helping them improve the safety of their own neighborhoods."
Former Congressman Floyd Flake said: "During my tenure in Congress the safety of my constituents was always one of my top priorities. Senseless acts of gun violence must end immediately. I want to commend Senator Smith and Congresswoman McCarthy for taking the lead and trying to make our community safer. "
Another pertinent program that needs to be re-visited to curb gun violence is the process of micro-stamping in which lasers are used to make tiny engravings on internal mechanisms so that when a gun is fired, information identifying the make, model and serial number will be stamped onto the cartridge. Police could use that information to track down a gun's last legal owner, the store where it was sold and, just maybe, find a lead to the person who committed the crime. New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman who was also unable to attend the press conference and who is a strong advocate of micro-stamping, spoke with Senator Smith and expressed his desire to see micro-stamping pass in the legislature.
"New- age technology such as micro-stamping is vital to curbing gun violence. If we are better able to identify a gun that is used in a shooting we will be able to better identify the gun's owner," said Senator Smith. "Thousands of people will likely die this year as a result of gun violence, and many of them will be young people. Operation SNUG and micro-stamping are both vital to a new age of community safety in the 21st Century. It will provide the support that anti-violence programs need and will help us save lives."

The Bank of England warned Friday the eurozone debt crisis posed a risk to Britain's financial system and urged its banks to build up their reserves.
In its Financial Stability Report, the bank praised the 750-billion-euro (one-trillion-dollar) EU-IMF stabilisation fund put together last month to prop up the euro after markets took fright at Greece's debt problems.
But it warned of continuing "market pressures" which could affect Britain's financial system.
"The IMF and European authorities put in place a substantial package of support," it noted.
"While these measures helped to stabilise conditions, market pressures have not yet abated."
Despite Britain not being a member of the 16-nation eurozone, the BoE said the exposure of the country's financial system to institutions caught up in the currency crisis was a major danger.
It noted there was a risk to Britain's financial institutions when dealing with "European banks that have direct exposures to countries facing increased sovereign risks".
The report, which the bank publishes twice a year, also expressed fears over investors retreating from risk in the wake of the crisis which could endanger banks' ability to renew billions of pounds in existing funding.
The BoE welcomed banks' efforts to increase their capital, which it said had "helped them weather recent tensions".
But it warned of "a number of challenges in the period ahead", which included increasing lending to help Britain secure its recovery from a record recession and building up bigger reserves in line with expected new regulatory demands.
Britain's banks "have a collective interest in providing sufficient lending to support economic recovery", said the report.
"They will need over time to build larger buffers of capital and liquidity to meet more demanding future regulatory requirements."
A tougher new regulatory regime for banks will be agreed later in the year.

From the looks of it, seems that MP Stevens was already prepared with what was to come. Such a disgraceful display of his character brought out his hideous monetary gain plans. Even though he refused to comment on any of the questions, his demeanor was eloquent enough for the audience to gauge what is in his mind.
After IA Editor David Donovan was done interviewing Mermaid Beach candidates Gary Pead from the Australian Labor Party and Alex Caraco from the Palmer United Party, he tried to correspond with Mermaid Ray Stevens from the Liberal National Party of Queensland to speak to him regarding the 16-year-old proposition to build a $100-million cable car project in the Gold Coast Hinterland.
This "Goldcoast Skyride" cable car development plan was severely criticized by the green groups who claims it threatens natural environment. Moreover, it was finally nixed by the Beattie Government, as a ban was imposed on any kind of commercial enterprise in national parks. This ban was abandoned by the Liberal National Party of Queensland while Stevens being an MP and an assistant minister in the Newman(LNP) government.
Now the big question is whether "Mermaid" is all set to gain millions now because of some unforeseen Newman Government change of laws. He has been avoiding all journalists who intend to speak to him about the matter. There are several questions that he needs to answer for his voters to know and clear the clouds. Did the amendments in the Nature Conservation Act come to pass because of the constant internal government lobbying by Mermaid Ray? Was he a part of the ministry when these amendments were being made? If he was, wouldn't it be a case of corruption? Again, something worth noting in this context is after the changes in the Newman government, the new Crime and Misconduct Commission have been deprived of the authority to scrutinize the MPs, whereas earlier, during the Joe Bjelke Peterson era cases of political corruption would be heavily looked into per the CMC guidelines. Therefore, another question that has to be addressed is whether or not Mermaid pressed a campaign for the changes in the Crime and Misconduct Commission(CMC) guidelines, because he was thoroughly aware of the changes in the Nature Conservation Act.
"It is extraordinary for a person to be both a proponent and shareholder in a project and part of the government which will be considering the project," said Barrister Alex McKean. According to him, if this has been the case, then the government without a doubt was surely using a "different definition of conflict of interest," which was not juxtaposed with the common way of doing things, and that it was sheer flawed.
Whatever be the case, Mr. Stevens does not want to release the integrity commissioner's advice. As Donovan befittingly puts it, "Mr. Steven's do you have something to hide?"

Chapter 14 Andrew Jackson and the Growth of American Democracy
The Kitchen Cabinet
Jackson approached governing much as he had leading an army - he listened to others, but then did what he felt was right.
The Spoils System
Jackson replaced many Republican officeholder with loyal Democrats
Most of these civil servants viewed their posts as life time jobs - Jackson felt that after a few years in office these civil servants should go back to making a living as other people do.
Jackson's opponents called the practice of rewarding political supporters with government jobs the spoils systems
Jackson replaced about 10% of civil servants
In this political cartoon, titled "Office Hunters for the Year 1834," Jackson is shown as a winged demon dangling government jobs over a crowd of people reaching out to grab them.
In this cartoon, John C. Calhoun, who believed states have the right to nullify federal laws, is reaching toward a crown. Andrew Jackson is pulling on the coat of a Calhoun supporter to stop him from trampling on the Constitution.
Andrew Jackson, attacks the many-headed Bank of the United States with a veto stick. Bank President Nicholas Biddle is placed center with a top hat. The many heads represent the 24 state directors of the bank. VP Martin Van Buren chokes Massachusetts and Delaware.
How well did President Andrew Jackson promote democracy?
Jackson's Inauguration
On March 4, 1829 more than 10,000 people gathered to watch Jackson's Inauguration
3 times as many people voted in 1828 than in 1824 due to new voting requirements that no longer required land ownership
New voters tended to be poor, the common man, and they looked at Jackson's election as if the US was saved from a monster - the wealthy
"It was the People's day, and the People's President. And the people shall rule." eyewitness Margaret Bayard Smith
The Indian Removal Act
In 1830, urges on by President Jackson, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act.
This law allowed the president to make treaties in which the Indians in the East traded their lands for new territory on the Great Plains.
In 1832 the Supreme Court held that Indians had the right to keep their lands - this angered Jackson.
Groups that refused to move west voluntarily were met with military force.
The Trail of Tears
In 1836, thousands of Creek Indians who refused to leave Alabama were rounded up and marched west in handcuffs
In 1838, under President Van Buren, more than 17,000 Cherokees were forced from their homes in Georgia - 4,000 died during the long walk to the Indian Territory.
Led by a young chief named Osceola, the Seminoles of Florida resisted removal for ten years - most costly Indian war ever fought
Jackson left office feeling as if he had "solved" the American Indian problem for good - in reality he just moved the conflict
The Nullification Crisis
Upset over new tariff laws that favored the North - higher tax on imported goods worked well for Northern manufacturers - Southern states threatened to nullify or reject the tariff laws
John C. Calhoun, Jackson's vice president, called on southern states to declare the tariff "null and void"
Jackson understood where Southern farmers were coming from, but when South Carolina threatened to secede, Jackson called on Congress to pass the Force Bill - allowing use of the Federal Army in collecting taxes - stating "If one drop of blood be shed there in defiance of the laws of the United States, I will hang the first man of them I get my hands on to the first tree I find."
Faced with stern opposition SC backed down and the crisis was avoided but it highlighted the growing differences between the North and South
The presidential campaign of 1828 was one of the dirtiest in US history but Andrew Jackson came out the clear winner.
Jackson was born into poverty in 1767 on the South Carolina frontier, he served in the revolution at the age of 13, became a successful lawyer in Tennessee before setting himself up as a gentleman farmer
hot temper - killed a slave trader in a duel
Jackson entered politics in Tennessee serving in both the House and Senate - but didn't become widely known until the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812
Lost the election of 1824 - Helped start the Democratic Party which promised to represent ordinary farmers, workers and the poor, not the rich upper class who controlled the Republican Party
With Jackson's presidency came the idea that the common people should control their government - Jacksonian Democracy
Jackson's Indian Policy
As a frontier settler, Jackson had little sympathy for American Indians.
During his presidency, it became national policy to remove Indians who remained in the East by force.
Many treaties had already moved many Indians off their land in exchange for food, supplies, and money.
By the time Jackson took office only 125, 000 remained East of the Mississippi River.
Most lived in the South - belonging to five groups, the Creek, Cherokee, Chichasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole.
These tribes attempted assimilate, adopting "white ways," in hopes of staying on their land, however as cotton farming spread west, white settlers decided they have to go
People of every color, age and class mobbed the White House to attend a public reception after Jackson took the oath of office.
Jackson did not rely only on his cabinet for advice he also met with a few trusted friends - they were said to meet in the White House kitchen
The rich men who were used to running Washington were very suspicious of the kitchen cabinet - they didn't think they were the proper sort to be running the country
Jackson Battles the Bank of the United Sates
Partly owned by the federal government, the Bank of the United States had a monopoly on federal deposits.
Jackson thought the bank benefited rich eastern depositors at the expense of farmers and workers, as well as smaller state banks.
In 1832, Jackson vetoed to renew the bank's charter, or contract.
While this angered his wealthy supporters, Jackson was able to win reelection.
Jackson took it one step farther in 1833 and pulled all of the federal money out of the bank, starving it to death.
Abolishing the bank, he believed, was a victory for economic democracy.

The Co-operative Legal Services (CLS) bar panel review has come to a close, with 20 sets of chambers winning appointments.
The successful sets of chambers were picked from an initial group of more than 60 that were identified as having the necessary skill and experience. Over 30 sets of chambers were invited to take part in the procurement round, before the final 20 were finalised.
Those appointed will handle family, employment, personal injury and legal expenses insurance work. They may deal with one or more of these areas.
The results of the review greatly expand CLS's bar panel, which stood at only five sets of chambers focusing on family law when it was set up in October 2012 (1 October 2012). All five have been retained – Manchester-headquartered St John's Buildings and Nottingham-based St Mary's Chambers were instructed in the north, while 3 Paper Buildings picked up the remit for Bristol and London alongside 4 Paper Buildings and 14 Gray's Inn in London.
New sets added include 42 Bedford Row and 1 Garden Court in London, Birmingham-based Citadel Chambers, and East Anglian Chambers in Ipswich.
CLS said the family panel had been successful enough in its year-long trial to warrant an expansion into other practice areas.
CLS principal solicitor Chris May said in a statement: "The successful chambers were drawn from a very long list of contenders and all of them have demonstrated first-class legal capability as well as a willingness to work with us on attaining our goal of becoming the leading consumer services provider in the country."
CLS was among the first organisations to be granted an ABS licence, in March 2012 (28 March 2012).
In October, CLS abandoned its aim to offer 100 training contracts annually, following a poor financial performance during the 2012/13 financial year. It took on just 10 trainees in September (15 October 2013).
List of chambers appointed:
1 Garden Court, London
1 Kings Bench Walk, London
1 Pump Court, London
3 Paper Buildings, London
4 Paper Buildings, London
12 Kings Bench Walk, London
14 Grays Inn Square, London
42 Bedford Row, London
Citadel Chambers, Birmingham
Coram Chambers, London
Deans Court Chambers, Manchester
East Anglian Chambers, Ipswich
Guildhall, Bristol
Magdalen Chambers, Exeter
New Court Chambers, London

Other Ebola infections possible among Texas health workers: CDC
(Reuters) – It is possible that other healthcare workers who came into contact with an Ebola patient in Texas could be at risk of contracting the disease, a U.S. health official said on Sunday after one medical worker was confirmed to have been infected.
"If this individual was exposed, which they were, it is possible that other individuals were exposed," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Infection, told a news conference.

ABC Bingo has plenty of choice for any sort of player. There's nine 24/7 bingo rooms, which include both 75 and 90 ball games. In addition there's plenty of jackpot games to get involved in and special rooms for different promotions.
The website is powered by Cassava, meaning it runs via the Dragonfish engine. This assures quality and we've been impressed with the responsive design of the site and how easy it is to navigate.
Games start frequently with no more than a five minute wait to join. There's also varied ticket prices and varied jackpots to get your hands on. Whilst the prize money isn't the highest we've seen offered, with tickets starting at as little as 5p and four dedicated free bingo rooms, we think it's still a worthwhile game.

Not only is ABC Bingo a great place to play, well, bingo, but there's a huge range of great slots on offer too from some of the biggest software providers out there. This includes titles like NetEnt's Spinata Grande, Gonzo's Quest and Tornado Farm Escape. For table game fans, there's also a small but varied selection of roulette games, Deuces Wild and Texas Hold 'Em too!
ABC Bingo are offering all players a double hit of welcome bonuses! To qualify you simply need to deposit £10 on both your first and second deposit and here's whats in store for you…
- 1st Deposit — deposit £10 and you can see yourself having £40 to play with! This is made up of a £20 bingo bonus and £10 slots bonus. Naturally, each bonus must be played with in their designated area (you can't use it all to play bingo, or vice versa), but this means you'll have something to use when a bingo-slump sets in!
- 2nd Deposit — again, you need to deposit a minimum of £10, but you'll be rewarded with £25 to play with! This time, the bonus is made up of a £10 bingo bonus and a £5 slots reward.
In other words, 1st deposits will be matched at 200% for bingo bonuses, and 100% for slots bonuses. After that, your second deposit will be matched at 100% for bingo, and 50% for slots.
There's a maximum reward of £100 on each bonus, and as always, they are subject to wagering requirements. For the welcome bonuses, wagering requirements are set at a reasonable 4x for bingo, yet a huge 80x for slots.
ABC Bingo has a good number of promotions in all shapes and sizes. There's definitely something for everyone to get their hands on, so you can be sure to be in with a treat at some point in your ABC career.
- No Losers Club — whilst this might sound like some sort of high school self-confidence club, it's actually a great promotion! ABC Bingo's No Losers Club opens it's doors every Monday and Wednesday between 9pm – 10pm. It's a straightforward 90 ball bingo game, however if you don't manage to win any cash then ABC bingo will refund your ticket cost as bonus cash. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
- Spin-tastic! — Spin-Tastic is an almost daily promotion! Running from Sunday through to Thursday, Spin-Tastic is a bingo game with a twist. The game's played at 9pm, and there's free spins available for every winner. For a FH you'll receive 100 free spins, for 2L there's 50 spins up for grabs, and even 20 spins for 1L. Players will be rewarded their free spins 72 hours after the game ends.
ABC Bingo also runs seasonal promotions, including huge jackpot games and weekly events. Wagering requirements are generally the same as those stated above (4x for bingo, 80x for slots), however it's worth noting that table games, such as Roulette and Blackjack, do not contribute at all to meeting your wagering requirements.
Deposits & Withdrawals
At ABC Bingo, deposits can be made via VISA, Mastercard, Maestro, Neteller, PayPal, PaysafeCard, EntroPay or by wire transfer. You can also deposit by phone by ringing customer service, although at the moment there is no phone billing option available.
There's a maximum daily deposit limit of £1,000 and £5,000 per month. Prior to making a withdrawal you must have deposited at least £30.
Withdrawals can be made via credit/debit card, Neteler withdrawal of £30, and this can be transferred via credit/debit card, Neteller and PayPal. In general, ABC Bingo will credit you withdrawal via the same method used for depositing. If you have deposited via EntroPay or PaysafeCard you will receive your withdrawal by cheque or wire transfer.
There's a minimum withdrawal of £20 and, in general, it should take around four to five days to see the money back in your account.
Back to Top.
A New Look
ABC Bingo has gone through a massive image overhaul and we're loving the new fresh look. Gone are the lime greens and lurid purples, replaced by a retro comic book look.
It's all a bit VIZ, but apparently the design was influenced by the predominant male demographic the site found it was pulling in. With the growing popularity of male bingo players it's a wise mood, but even as a women it's nice to see a change from the pink bingo sites we're used to.
The new site is also easy to navigate, both on mobile and on desktop. For a site with an already formidable reputation, changing everything up is a big risk, but we think it's paid off for ABC Bingo and ensures they're seen as an evolving brand.
Back to Top.
Other casinos like ABC Bingo
Lucky Socks Bingo – Lucky Socks Bingo is a smaller site powered by the bingo gods over at Cozy Games. It features a good range of both 70 and 95 ball games and has a vibrant community feel. Their Facebook page is packed full of quirky promotions and you can get your hands on a huge 500% welcome bonus!
Mainstage Bingo – Mainstage Bingo is powered by the great Imperium brand. It features a few select bingo rooms and over 200 slots, including a full NetEnt suite. It's a great site for the indecisive amongst us as it's also packed out with a range of table games, scratchcards and fantasy sports.
ABC Bingo is a fully-fledged and reputable site. We love the huge range of different bingo rooms available and the welcome bonuses do wonders to sweeten the deal.
We're also big fans of the new look. We think that by going for a retro theme, ABC Bingo, ironically, now feels fresher than ever and it stands out from the crowd. We also love the new promotions available. We'd like to see them focus a bit more on their social media outlets as we all know bingo is a community-based game, but other than that, we really can't find anything to complain about!

The government has brushed aside opposition to the plant by arguing that because Rs 17,000 crore have already been spent on the reactor, it has to be commissioned so that the investment already made is not wasted.

The nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl 26 years ago this month, even more than my launch of perestroika, was perhaps the real cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union five years later. Indeed, the Chernobyl catastrophe was an historic turning point: there was the era before the disaster, and there is the very different era that has followed.

EducationBerean Institute's primary mission is to prepare students for the world of work and continuing education. Berean Institute is a "place to be somebody, where you learn to earn." It is a post-secondary school for all people and is especially designed to help students achieve their highest potential.
Berean Institute is committed to keeping its programs varied in accordance with the changing educational needs and interests of business, industry, and community.
For more information on pricing and class date please call 215-763-4833 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
ExperienceThe success of Berean Institute and its more than 100-year legacy grew out of the shortfall of another great and historic event — the adoption of the United States Constitution. The founding fathers failed to adequately address the issue of slavery and the effects it had on the vast number of Blacks. It resulted in the bloodiest war ever fought on our soil and the displacement and deprivation of many of the freed Black slaves.
These conditions fostered the creation of the Berean Industrial Manual Training School in 1899 by the Rev. Dr. Matthew Anderson and Dr. Caroline Still Anderson.
Dr. Matthew Anderson, the prominent founder and pastor of the Berean Presbyterian Church (established 1880), saw these conditions as they developed in Philadelphia, particularly among the Blacks, and he resolved to do something about them. After founding the Berean Savings and Loan in 1888 to provide for the development of Black capital thereby expanding the opportunities for Blacks, he recognized the need for a special school — hence, the birth of the Berean Manual Training and Industrial School.
For more information on pricing and class date please call 215-763-4833 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
HobbiesBerean seeks to enable students to:
learn to value the dignity of work and become equipped to make a contribution to the common good;
acquire competence in their program of study;
become appreciative of their own worth and be able to recognize the worth of others;
learn that the joy of education lies in viewing and experiencing it as a lifelong process;
attain their fullest intellectual, physical, and social potential,
experience their rich cultural/historical heritage so that they are able to transmit it to others, and
understand the need for people to relate to and serve one another.

You Draw Us After You (My 100th Post!)
My nephew Justin is a book lover and when we get together, our conversations always include what we have been reading. He recommended to me Dave Eggers A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I just recommended to him Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It is delightful to have book friends. Last time we got together, he gave me the book Women, Men and Spiritual Power by John W. Coakley. It is a study of women, most considered saints, from 1100 to 1400 who wrote powerful messages describing and teaching the revelations God had given them. During that time, women were second class and divine insights from their gender proved suspicious. So, the church often assigned men to interpret and sometimes rewrite the essays of the women saints.
This book is filled with the writings of nine of those women and the nine men who were paired with them. I have just started it but can already sense that it will be full of golden nuggets of wisdom for my writing and me.
Gilbert of Gemblox wrote the first quote in the introduction to Hildegard of Bingenin 1175. His words moved me, a twenty-first century woman writer.
"When you come out from the cells of contemplation where the eternal king has so often brought you as his bride, your fruitfulness for us is something better than wine of the fragrance of the finest perfumes. For it is then that, through your writings, you make us partakers of the visions of holy things that you saw with unveiled face when you were in the embrace of your bridegroom. Running along quickly amid the fragrance of your perfumes, you draw us after you."
I love this. When I read those words, it's as if the Spirit spoke to my soul in inexpressible groanings (Romans 8:26), challenging me and encouraging me. The fruitfulness, the fragrance of Hildegard's words were birthed in the cells of contemplation. Because she spent time alone with her groom, the God of all wonder, her words bore His fragrance. And the smell of God and His mercy is one that we all walk toward, whether we admit it or not.
Hildegard drew others after her because of Him.
My heart is filled with the longing to draw others after me to Him. What a joy, a privilege, an honor, and a delight it is to be able to communicate the love of God through words. But first, first I must spend time with Him. I must sit in His lap and feel His arms of unconditional love. First, I must sit at His feet and listen. Listen. Just shut up and listen. First, I must take the time to contemplate, ponder and meditate on His Scriptures.
Then and only then can I walk to my computer as His bride, ready to tell of the Lord's joy in my life.
A word to my writer friends. Let us take time, each of us, to be with God and fall in love with Him. Let us take more time in listening to His words than coming up with our own. Let us run after Christ and then watch in humility and awe as others follow.

If you love that book, Robbie, you should buy "Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ" by Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon (Madame Guyon). It's amazing. I was so torn while I read it because I wanted more, more, more while at the same time that book created a craving in me to read my Bible. It's an awesome book.

DocumentationMathematicaThe Mathematica BookA Practical Introduction to MathematicaInput and Output in Notebooks
1.10.5 Entering Tables and Matrices
The Mathematica front end typically provides a Create Table/Matrix/Palette menu item which allows you to create a blank array with any specified number of rows and columns. Once you have such an array, you can then edit it to fill in whatever elements you want.
Mathematica treats an array like this as a matrix represented by a list of lists.
Putting parentheses around the array makes it look more like a matrix, but does not affect its interpretation.
Using MatrixForm tells Mathematica to display the result of the Transpose as a matrix.
Entering tables and matrices.
Note that you can use , and to start building up an array, and particularly for small arrays this is often more convenient than using the Create Table/Matrix/Palette menu item.
Section 2.9.11 will describe how to adjust many aspects of the appearance of arrays you create in Mathematica. The Create Table/Matrix/Palette menu item typically allows you to make basic adjustments, such as drawing lines between rows or columns.
