Today is Friday, Dec. 6, the 340th day of 2013. There are 25 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Dec. 6, 1957, America's first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit failed as Vanguard TV3 rose only about four feet off a Cape Canaveral launch pad before crashing back down and exploding.
On this date:
In 1790, Congress moved to Philadelphia from New York.
In 1884, Army engineers completed construction of the Washington Monument by setting an aluminum capstone atop the obelisk.
In 1889, Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America, died in New Orleans.
In 1907, the worst mining disaster in U.S. history occurred as 362 men and boys died in a coal mine explosion in Monongah, West Virginia.
In 1917, some 2,000 people died when an explosives-laden French cargo ship collided with a Norwegian vessel at the harbor in Halifax, Nova Scotia, setting off a blast that devastated the city.
In 1922, the Irish Free State came into being under terms of the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
In 1947, Everglades National Park in Florida was dedicated by President Harry S. Truman.
In 1962, 37 coal miners were killed in an explosion at the Robena No. 3 Mine operated by U.S. Steel in Carmichaels, Pa.
In 1969, a free concert by The Rolling Stones at the Altamont Speedway in Alameda County, Calif., was marred by the deaths of four people, including one who was stabbed by a Hell's Angel.
In 1973, House minority leader Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew.
In 1989, 14 women were shot to death at the University of Montreal's school of engineering by a man who then took his own life.
Ten years ago: A U.S. warplane in pursuit of a "known terrorist" attacked a village in eastern Afghanistan, mistakenly killing nine children. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld met with senior American commanders in Iraq, and was assured that a recent switch to more aggressive anti-insurgency tactics had begun to pay off. Army became the first team to finish 0-13 in major college history after a 34-6 loss to Navy. Ireland's Rosanna Davison was crowned Miss World at the southern Chinese tropical resort of Sanya.
Five years ago: President-elect Barack Obama said in a Saturday radio and Internet address that he'd asked his economic team for a recovery plan that would save or create more than 2 million jobs. Indicted Democratic U.S. Rep. William Jefferson was ousted from his New Orleans area district in a special election won by Republican attorney Anh "Joseph" Cao, who became the first Vietnamese-American in Congress. A Greek youth, 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos, was shot to death during a confrontation with police in Athens, sparking two weeks of riots. Heiress Martha "Sunny" von Bulow, who'd spent the last 28 years of her life in a coma, died in New York City at age 76.
One year ago: Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi remained defiant after a night of clashes involving thousands of his supporters and opponents outside his palace in Cairo that left six people dead and hundreds injured; Morsi refused to call off a referendum on a disputed constitution. Republicans pushed right-to-work legislation through the Michigan state House and Senate amid raucous protests from throngs of union supporters.

Baby bust continues: US births down for 4th year
Baby bust continues: US births down for 4th year
NEW YORK — U.S. births fell for the fourth year in a row, the government reported Wednesday, with experts calling it more proof that the weak economy has continued to dampen enthusiasm for having children.
But there may be a silver lining: The decline in 2011 was just 1 percent — not as sharp a fall-off as the 2 to 3 percent drop seen in other recent years.
"It may be that the effect of the recession is slowly coming to an end," said Carl Haub, a senior demographer with the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington, D.C.-based research organization.

The London 2012 silver medallist was in Glasgow today and dived into the pool at Tollcross International Swimming Centre for the first time since its £14m facelift to mark the occasion.
Tickets for all the sports events and the opening and closing ceremonies were going on sale at 10am today, with prices starting at £15.
Michael, 25, from Robroyston, who is an ambassador the Games and is hoping to win Gold on the first night of competition next year, said the Commonwealth Games were set to be the highlight of his career.
Tollcross, which will host the swimming competitions at Glasgow 2014, was the pool where he trained as a youngster with the City of Glasgow Swim Team.
He shared the historic moment with young swimmers from his former school, Glasgow School of Sport.
Michael said: "As well as being an athlete the great thing for me as a sports fan is being able to attend other events and I can't wait to get to see as much as I can at Glasgow 2014.
"The difference between watching a big multi-sport event on television or actually being there and experiencing it is second to none.
"You can feel the support of the crowd, the noise from the stadium and being in front of a home crowd will just add to the excitement.
"I would encourage as many people as possible to get tickets and come and be part of the action.
"These are elite athletes in every one of the 17 sports competing against their rivals so no matter which sport you get tickets for you will be enthralled, excited and entertained.
"There is nothing to beat live sport."
One million tickets across 17 sports over 11 days of competition are up for grabs, with two-thirds priced at £25 or less.
The four-week ticketing phase closes on Monday, September 16 and applications can be made online or by post.
It makes no difference whether fans apply on the first day or the last, as organisers have promised everyone the same opportunity to enter the ballot.
Lord Smith of Kelvin, chairman of Glasgow 2014, said: "Glasgow 2014 in every sense is a Games for everyone and a fantastic opportunity to experience world-class sport up close in one of the world's great sporting cities. We look forward to welcoming elite athletes from across the Commonwealth and the best welcome we can give them are stadia packed with supporters cheering them on.
"Now is your chance to be part of this friendly force of fans for what I hope will be a great moment for sport, for Glasgow and Scotland.
"This is your opportunity to make sure you are part of the experience and enjoy the thrills and spills which Glasgow 2014 will have on offer."
The price of a ticket includes access to public transport in the local area on the day of the event and half-price concessions are available for under 16s and over 60s. Organisers have promised that at least 70% of all tickets to sporting events will be made available to the public.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, said: "With affordable ticket prices this is a truly family friendly Games that will guarantee top class sporting drama for spectators and a great Glasgow welcome for visitors."
To apply for tickets visit www.glasgow2014.com or pick up the Official Ticketing Guide which contain postal application forms.
They are available at leisure centres, libraries, museums and transport hubs across Scotland.

Death Of Award-Winning Journalist Michael Hastings Ruled An Accident AP Photo Igor Bobic – August 20, 2013, 3:26 PM EDT | 6388 The death of Michael Hastings, an award-winning journalist journalist who contributed to Rolling Stone and reported for BuzzFeed, has been ruled an accident, the Los Angeles County coroner's office announced Tuesday. The 33-year-old died in a car accident in Los Angeles in June. He had a "small amount of methamphetamine" and THC in his system, but the finding was deemed "unlikely contributory to death," the LA Times reported. Hastings was found with a medical marijuana card in his wallet, a prescription for post-traumatic stress from his time reporting in the Middle East. Read the entire autopsy report here.

View Poll Results: What Is The Easiest GCSE Subject?
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?
For me, personally, it's Geography. Especially the human side, i mean, it's common sense that people leave an area to find work etc!
Sorry should have put in some sort of disclaimer for that person who found my view offensive in some wayLast edited by burgerrr; 03-04-2012 at 20:12. -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?
Of course, it depends on what you are good at and how you would define easy! For example, I did product design which wasn't difficult per se but it was really time consuming and took a lot of work outside of class to get everything done and get my A. Conversely, I did no revision and no homework ever for the two GCSE languages I did and came out with A*s in both and full marks on the listening and reading papers. My boyfriend did this with maths too, whereas my best friend had to get a tutor for maths so it really depends on how your brain works. But overall, I think I might agree with RE because everyone at my school got an A* in it and it doesn't seem to need much learning (No disrespect to anyone who struggled with it!)
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?
My easiest was ICT.
When i did my gcse's the coursework made up, like 60% of it, and the coursework was dead easy. Even the teachers said so, and you could just do the coursework in the first half of the course (it was that easy, and we where given loads of examples, answers etc on the intranet at school, plus the teachers marked it, rather than it going to the exam board) and just doss around for the rest of it. -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?(Original post by Cubic)
Well for me, that would be maths. -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?(Original post by shyamshah)
German, because my teacher did most of my controlled assessment scripts so i only had to revise it and i got 4 A*s in the end -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?
I voted for PE (I took the exam a year early and got an A* without revising once) you can pass using common sense.
For me dance was also very easy, the only slightly "challenging" part was choreography but I come from a ballet background so this may be why I found it easy. I was stupid to take it anyway, the only mistake I made in my GCSES choices (all the rest were academic).
Allthough I found History the easiest A* I had ever got, mainly becaue I loved the subject so much and just read extention work at a higher standard that enabled me to get 100% in the exam. However I know alot of people who struggled.Last edited by aefli; 06-04-2012 at 20:14. -
Re: Easiest GCSE subject?(Original post by GreenLantern1)
I have to agree maths is the easiest, but then RE is just super easy - don't have to attend lessons at all! So I think RE is easier overall, and easier for most people.
So much to remember, word for word almost because we need high accuracy. I got the lowest mark in RE out of all of my mocks.

20 September 2013
Nice snack
I enjoy these mini pies as I'm not a big fan of the jelly you get with most pork pies. I found the meat nice and tender with no bits of gristle and the pastry isn't greasy which can sometimes be the case with some Melton Mowbray pies that I've had in the past.
16 September 2013
Fab pork pies
I'm confused by the huge difference in ratings. I love the pastry and the filling is gristle free. Will definitely buy again.
25 July 2013
Best Melton Mowbray pies ever
Had them twice this picnic season and they are the best Melton Mowbray pies I've ever tasted, even better than M&S which have always been my favourites. Sometimes about the pastry, it's so crispy and full of flavour and the meat has no gristle.

Windsor Hills house description
Check out our new photos! A $60,000 refurbishing project was just completed in 2012. Our photos were just taken in July 2012.
FREE WI-FI HIGH SPEED INTERNET, X-Box 360 with Kinnect System, Nintendo Wii, Sony Playstation II.
We also have a full-size arcade game, featuring 60 classic games from the 80's including:
• Pacman
• Ms. Pacman
• Frogger
• Donkey Kong
• Space Invaders
• Galaga
• Centipede
• Dig Dug
• Mr. Do
• Burger Time
• Many, Many More!
Welcome to our luxury villa at Windsor Hills, featuring a true south-facing private pool and hot-tub, with no rear neighbors. We are one of the closest homes to the amazing Windsor Hills clubhouse - about a 2 minute stroll away.
The most important feature of our family retreat is that we offer one of the few south-facing pool homes in Windsor Hills that also has no rear neighbors. Spend a moment viewing the Windsor Hills development on Google Maps. Most of the south-facing homes back right up to another property. Most of the other homes with no rear neighbors face north, east, or west – limiting the amount of sun the pool area will receive. If you select a south-facing home that has rear neighbors, the neighbors pool will be approximately 10 feet from your pool – not my idea of relaxing! Take a look at the view from our pool area and you'll see the difference.
The second most important feature is our proximity to the world class Windsor Hills club house, resort water slide, movie theater, sundry shop, fitness center, and other amenities. We are right down the street from the club house, approximately a 2 minute walk. Many of the homes in Windsor Hills are located a good 10-15 minute walk away from the club house. If you have children, and you are a 15 minute walk away, you almost have to drive there to utilize the amenities of this lovely resort. Our proximity to the clubhouse and water slide makes our home perfect for all ages. We are also right across the street from the amazing children's 'castle' playground!
Our home offers five bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom. Unlike some homes, we offer three bedrooms on the first floor, making our home the perfect choice for those travelers who prefer first floor living.
Windsor Hills is the premier luxury vacation resort near Disney, boasting the best amenities in the area.
Windsor Hills is less than 2 miles away from Disney's main gates.
Each bedroom in our home has a brand new flat panel TV, complete with its own DVD system, and its own private bathroom.
We offer a great cable TV package, including HD programming, HBO and Showtime pay channels FREE of charge, as well as UK Soccer programming on FOX Soccer.
We also offer FREE Long-Distance calling to the entire US and many other countries, including FREE calls to land lines in the UK and Canada.
The family room includes BRAND NEW (3/2012) leather furniture, as well as a 55' HD TV and a Sony DVD Player for all to enjoy. We also offer a library of 40 DVDs for your enjoyment. If you'd like, there is a DVD rental kiosk at the Windsor Hills clubhouse, just a 2 minute stroll down the street.
Your children will love the 'Star Wars' room and the 'Mickey Room'. We offer an X-box 360 in the Star Wars room, and a Nintendo Wii in the Mickey Room. We also offer a library of many video games, including:
• Madden 12
• Star Wars The Force Unleashed
• Family Game Night 3
• UFC Trainer
• Body and Brain Connection
• Bully Scholarship Edition
• Call of Duty Black OPS
• L.A. Noire
• Rapala Fishing Frenzy 2009
• Ace Cp,nat 6: Fire of Liberation
• Motionsports Play For Real
• Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 20
• Dance Central
• Batman
• Grand Theft Auto IV
• Masters / Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12
• Wii Sports
• Just Dance 3
• MLB Baseball
Each bedroom offers a flat-panel HD TV complete with its own DVD player.
Both the 'Star Wars' room and the 'Mickey' room feature two twin beds each, as well as a trundle bed in each, for a total of three sleeping areas in each twin room.
We have two master suites, both on the first floor, featuring brand-new furniture, King beds, ultra-plush pillow-top mattresses from Sealy, and private en-suite bathrooms.
Our Queen suite, also on the first floor, is in a private corner of the home, with an ultra-plush pillow-top mattress from Sealy, and a private bathroom - perfect for the Grandparents.
Our home has a dishwasher, as well as a washing machine and dryer for your convenience.
ONE OF THE BEST FEATURES is that our home has two separate air conditioning units, and two separate hot water heaters, one for each floor. Our adult bedrooms also feature ceiling fans.
Our home backs to open space, providing additional privacy, while you and your family relax and enjoy the pool and spa/hot-tub.
This is a non-smoking home, stocked with all linens, utensils, etc. We even offer a 'starter pack' of paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc.
For those families traveling with young children, we offer a stroller, high-chair, pack-n-play, and bedrails.
We hope you enjoy your stay!

Great Home, best we have rented at Disney (6 prior). Pool was great and Warm! even with cool nights...no problem!! Kids LOVED the Star Wars room and Game room...My kids are asking Santa for an XBOX 360 now.....Beds are very soft and comfortable a major plus after a long day at the parks...this made the wife and I very happy.....Hot tub was great after a long day at the park. The home is in great shape and very well maintained. Very much enjoyed having a large TV, hate to down size on vacation, still football season...all in all a great experience.... Above all else the owners set a very high standard for customer service and communication...very impressive an very appreciated. They made the whole experience enjoyable, I told Bill we felt like quests in the home rather than renters...I highly recommend....and hope to use again in the future...Thanks, :-)Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Dear Brian and Family - Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I really appreciate it! I'm so glad to hear that everyone had a great time. My youngest son will be excited to know that your kids enjoyed the Star Wars room - he designed it! It's very rewarding to get such positive feedback from guests, and we hope you'll have a chance to visit again soon. Best wishes for a wonderful day! Bill and Donna & Family

We recently stayed at this house wtih our family....mom and dad, 2 grandmas and our 4 kids. What a fantastic trip! The house is beautiful and CLEAN-which is very important for me since I'm a self-admited (to the point of OCD maybe) clean freak! It had the perfect layout for us with the kids tucked away upstairs and the adults downstairs and is beautifully decorated. The location is great, very close to Disney and shopping/restaurants and easy to get to with the back roads. My kids loved the park across the street. And we ALL loved the pool/backyard area. Many days, I think my kids wanted to leave Disney so they could come home and swim and play video games :) Best of all, Bill is great to work with, responsive and provdied us with a lot of great information. Do not hesitate to book this house for your vacation. I know you'll enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks for letting us use your beautiful house, it helped make this a very special family vacation!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Dear Clarissa and Family, Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it. I especially want to thank you for your observation of how clean our home was. Cleanliness is a huge pet peeve of mine, so it's nice to know our attention to detail was noticed. I'll make sure to pass along your comments to our cleaners as well. I'm happy the children enjoyed the game room and especially the pool area. It is so nice to relax after a long day without having any rear neighbors looking right back at you. Thanks again for being such a great family to work with, and hopefully you'll have a chance to visit again soon. Take care, Bill and Donna

We recently spent a week at this wonderful home. The home was clean, well kept and beautifully decorated! Our children thoroughly enjoyed the pool, hot tub, themed bedrooms and game room!! We enjoyed the beautiful view each morning over the pool as there are no neighbors behind the home! We spent a great week at Disney with the kids, enjoyed the proximity of the home to everything! Also spent a wonderful day at the beach, only an hour and a half drive! Bill and Donna were wonderful to work with and easy to get in touch with if we had questions regarding the home! Would recommend this home to anyone! Thanks for a great experience!!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Dear Kristen and Family. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and thank you for referencing how clean our home was. I have rented many homes myself for our family vacations, and walking into a home that is not properly cleaned sets the tone for the entire vacation. I also appreciate you mentioning the beautiful view from our pool area that you enjoyed each morning. I've always considered the decision to stay in our home similar to the decisions travelers make when selecting a cabin on a cruise ship. Families can select an inside cabin at a very low cost, with no windows. Families can select an outside cabin, with a small port-hole for sunlight, or Families can select a cabin with a balcony so they can wake up every morning and take in the magnificent ocean views. The cabin with the balcony might cost a bit more, but it provides an incredible enhancement for your vacation. That's no different than our home. Travelers have plenty of options for homes that back right up to another home, or homes that back up to a concrete retaining wall, but with our home they get to wake up to nature's glory each and every morning, without the intruding stares of back-to-back neighbors. Thanks again for selecting our home, and hopefully we can welcome you back to Florida again soon. Best wishes for a wonderful fall season! Bill and Donna Burns & Family

We could not be happier with our selection of villas we looked at when we were planning our vacation. The villa was nice and clean when we arrived and Bill was more than friendly and helpful when we had any questions. The pool was really a hit with the kids and so was the games room. The beds were really comfortable and the kids also loved the Mickey room. The location of the villa couldn't be any more perfect. Really close to the clubhouse for a workout at the gym or dip in the community pool with waterslide (not that we went to the main pool much when you got your own great pool). I would recommend this villa to anyone if they are planning a trip to Orlando and the parks. Again I would like to say to Bill & Donna thanks for a vacation I would never forget.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Dear Ivan, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is very helpful for future travelers. You have a very unique perspective to provide, since you stayed in our home for over a month. It really was a "second home" for you and your family. Thank you for mentioning our close proximity to the clubhouse and the workout/exercise facilities. As one of the closest homes to the amenities, our location makes it easy for guests to maintain their exercise regiment. I was happy to hear that the children enjoyed our pool and the games room, and I'm glad that the Mickey Mouse room was a big hit. Thanks for being such great guests to work with, and hopefully we can welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Bill and Donna Burns

We stayed the this villa in July for 10 days. It is a very nice property. We've stayed at quiet some houses already within Windsor Hills, but this one is definitely the best. It is very clean, very well furnished and in a perfect spot within the community. A lot of the villas either have a wall or another property behind their pools, which isn't that much of a problem, but also not very ideal. This villa has open space behind it, which makes it extra relaxing. We had some minor issues in the beginning but those were immediately taken care of by the property manager. Even the owner himself checked in with us (he was in Kissimmee during the same time as us) which we really really appreciated. All in all it was a very enjoyable stay at the villa which is why we will be back once again this year and probably a lot of years after this one.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Dear Stephanie, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I really appreciate it. It was great getting a chance to meet you and your family during your vacation. Thank you for mentioning the green open space behind our home. That is one of the best features. Before we purchased our homes we stayed in a home at Windsor Hills that backed up to the concrete wall, and it just isn't the same. We're glad you had such a nice time, and we are looking forward to your return trip in November. Kind regards, Bill and Donna Burns

This is the perfect vacation home! It was even more beautiful than in the pictures. The house was spotless and everything about it exceeded our expectations. We were especially appreciative of all the information that was provided to us from the owners prior to our arrival regarding everything from restaurants, local attractions, and where to shop. The home is minutes from the Magic Kingdom etc, as well as amazing outlet shopping and restaurants. The private pool and patio area along with the game room gave us plenty to do during our down time. Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with and sharing your beautiful vacation home!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Dear Cara and Team, I was so happy to hear that you and the dance team had such a great time in our home. Hopefully both the girls and the mom's enjoyed their time at our home. I'm glad the pool and games room helped you relax during your down time. Thanks again for visiting our home, and hopefully another dance competition will bring you to town again soon! Bill & Donna

Bill and Donna's villa is a real find. The location made travel to the space center and to the gulf coast very easy to manage. The villa is well designed, the quality of furniture and furnishings very high, it was also so clean and well maintained. The pool and it's situation was wonderful - it was lovely to have a sunny alfresco breakfast and to watch a family of cranes walk by! The development/ community felt very safe - our teenagers enjoyed the freedom and facilities provided. We had contact with the management company and found them to be responsive, helpful, competent and unfailingly polite. Neighbours on either side were not intrusive in terms of proximity or noise. We have stayed in VRBO properties in California, Delaware and Europe , all have been of a high standard- this villa keeps the flag flying!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Dear Aisling and Family, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. It is very much appreciated, and it helps future travelers get a much better "feel" for our home. I was happy to hear about your breakfast dining experience in our pool area. That family of cranes walks by every morning, and it is a nice treat to see wildlife so close. Of course, for any future travelers reading this review, the pool area is enclosed by screens, so the cranes don't intrude! My favorite feature of our home is the fact that we have a south-facing pool, with no rear neighbors, so we always make it a point to have most meals outside in the pool area. I'm glad your children enjoyed the community amenities, and the freedom that a gated community provides. Because our home is so close to the club house and community pool/water slide, we always feel comfortable letting our children make that short walk. It's nice knowing that the main security gate is also near the clubhouse, so our children always feel safe during the short walk. Thank you for mentioning how polite Kevin and Jason were during your conversations with them. I feel that the service we provide to our guests is only as good as the quality of people they are interacting with. Since Kevin lives right around the corner from our home, his response time to all inquiries is typically very quick. I was very happy to hear you refer to them as "responsive, helpful, competent and unfailingly polite". Those are all excellent traits and I will make sure I pass along your compliment. We had such a great time meeting you and your family on those nights our stays overlapped (we were staying in the home next door). Hopefully you will get a chance to visit again soon. Best wishes for a wonderful summer, Bill and Donna and Family

From the time of our initial enquiry about this wonderful home, Bill and Donna responded almost immediately to any query we had and provided us with various information on the surrounding area and attractions other than Disney and Universal. On arrival at the villa which was very easy to find using Bill and Donnas directions we settled into the Floridian lifestyle straight away. The house was amazing and with two familes (4adults and 4teenagers) plenty of space for all our needs. The only fault we would have was that with excellent wifi and an amazing pool and games room it was hard to get the children to leave. The location was very convienent to all attractions and straightforward to highways for us to travel to St Petes Beach, , Kennedy Space Centre. The local area had a great selection of resturants , our favouite was probably Chracker Barrel which we had only discovered. We had the previlage of meeting Bill who was staying next door at his other property and once again, had the benefit of his local knowledge. We will most certainly be returning to this home on our next trip to Orlando.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, tourists without a car, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Dear Jenny and Liam, It was so nice getting a chance to meet you and your lovely family. I was so happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience in our home. It's funny that you mention the strong wi-fi signal and games room. I was having the same issue in our home next door. We had such great weather, yet the kids wanted to sit around and play X-Box for most of the day. My son had a great time getting to play pool with your children that evening when we visited. I'm glad you had a chance to visit St. Pete on one side of Florida and the Kennedy Space Center on the other side. It's not a bad drive at all, and those trips allow for families to experience more than just Disney. Hopefully you'll get a chance to visit our home again. Kind regards, Bill and Donna and Family

Nine family members recently stayed at this beautiful home. We had such a wonderful experience that I am eager to share. First of all, this was our first experience using VRBO. We were nervous about using the service to find the right spot for us, but the whole process went without an issue. The deposits were made via a secure sight, receipts promptly sent, and the logistics clearly explained. I would have absolutely use this service again. The home is amazing, just as described in print and picture. We had lots of space for all to gather together, as well as ample private space. The home is well equipped with baby supplies, which was important to us as we were traveling with a toddler and an infant. It is also well stocked in terms of kitchen supplies, laundry area and grill! Clean and ready for our arrival. Also, it is literally 10 minutes to The Parks, which is so nice in terms of "coming and going". The community facilities are also excellent. The community is gated, which is a reassuring feature. The community pool area is beautiful. The zero entry pool is great for children, and there is ample tables and chairs around the pool to enjoy a relaxing day in the area. There is also a handy playground just a half block away that our little ones enjoyed immensely. Although I did not think that we would use the game room much, we did indeed. In the evening, when the children were in bed, we enjoyed the game room, pool/hot tub, and generous living space. It is such a wonderful way for a larger family to gather. Lastly, I would like to comment about the owners, Bill and Donna. E-mails were answered within hours of sending them. The owners guided us through the rental process with lots of information and guidance. They supplied us with tons of information about the area, and how to fully enjoy it (parks, restaurants, shopping, etc). The couple of small issues that we had during our 8-day stay were addressed and resolved quickly. The owners are professional and friendly, and do such a nice job! I would definitely stay here again, and have recommended it to friends and family.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Dear Beth and Pat, I was so happy to see your review. The level of detail you provided will be helpful for future guests, and it is very much appreciated. I was glad that you had such a positive experience as a "first time" user of VRBO. Unlike hotel chains, there is no "quality control" for vacation rental properties, so the traveling community really needs to rely on the reviews from guests who have already stayed at a particular home. I'm glad you mentioned the adult's enjoyment of the game room. Many times families think that it is "just for kids", but I find that the adults in our family are in there just as much as the kids. As you experienced, we also have an air conditioning unit in the game room which is extremely helpful in the summer months. I also appreciate you mentioning our responsiveness as owners. Having rented many homes ourselves, I know how frustrating it can be to wait days and days for replies to your questions. I'm happy that our promptness was appreciated. Thanks again for being so easy to work with, and for taking such good care of our home. Hopefully you'll get a chance to visit again soon. Have a wonderful day!! Bill and Donna & Family

What an excellent place to stay! The accommodation was exactly as described and fitted our requirements completely as a family of nine with 6 adults and 3 children. Bill and Donna have certainly thought everything through so well to ensure that nothing is missing or needed and their attention to detail was first class. The furnishings were beautiful and everything we wanted was there at hand; a perfect home from home. The pool at the villa and at Windsor Hills club house were used constantly by the children and adults and were a perfect way to relax on rest days or in the evenings. The location of the villa was ideal for the resort facilities but especially for visits to Disney. But what was perfect was that the south facing aspect wasn't overlooked. Bill and Donna had provided so much information in advance of and during our visit! Restaurants and places to visit, short cuts to Disney resorts were all documented for us. A couple of glitches during our two week stay were attended to very promptly and Kevin the property manager certainly took his role seriously ensuring that if we had any concerns about anything, he dealt with it. A leaky fridge was replaced and a loose shower head wasn't just repaired that was replaced too. I would certainly recommend this villa as a fabulous place to stay and be enjoyed by all.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Dear Mariam and Family, We were so happy to hear you had a wonderful time on your vacation! Thank you for mentioning the prompt service provided by Kevin and his staff. We always try to make sure we go above and beyond for our guests, and I'm happy to hear that the loose shower head was taken care of so promptly. Thank you for referencing the fact that our pool area is not overlooked by any other homes to the rear. We have never much cared for being "on display", so we wanted to make sure we selected a more private location in Windsor Hills. We would love the opportunity to host you and your family again. Thank you for your kind words, and have a wonderful summer! Bill & Donna Burns

Weekend fires claim two Gallia County homes
by Amber Gillenwater firstname.lastname@example.com
GALLIA COUNTY — Local volunteer firefighters were on the scene of two structure fires this weekend in the southern portion of Gallia County.
The first fire was reported to District 2 fire personnel members at approximately 10:12 p.m. on Saturday evening at a residence located at 10597 Ohio 218 just south of Mercerville.
Volunteers with the District 11 Fire Department were also called in to provide mutual aid at the fire, and a Gallia County EMS unit was also called to the scene.
As a result of the fully involved structure fire, phone lines were knocked down and residents in the area were reportedly without phone service for a period of time.
According to dispatchers with the Gallia County 911 Center, no one was transported from the scene with injuries.

Magnetized Water; Amalgam Fillings
Submitted by staff on Sun, 2006-07-30 04:47.EFFECT OF NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER WITH IV-DMPS TREATMENT ON INCREASING MERCURY EXCRETION POST REMOVAL OF AMALGAM FILLINGS (2002)
Michael Galitzer, M.D., American Health Institute, Los Angeles, CA, Howard Reminick, Ph.D. and Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D., Ohno Institute on Water and Health, Cleveland, OH, Harold Ravins, D.D.S., Center for Holistic Dentistry, Los Angeles, CA.
The field of biological dentistry is rapidly gaining acceptance as an alternative to traditional, mainstream dentistry because of its sound health principles and practices, and attention to toxicology. Although it has made inroads among a more informed public, it still maintains the reputation as "new age" and controversial, due to the resistance from the established dental industry and the political pressure of the American Dental Association. Two controversial areas practiced in biological dentistry which draw criticism from mainstream dentists are removal of mercury amalgam fillings and chelation. With more and more studies under way to provide sound, scientific evidence on the value of these two practices, leaders in the field will soon be able to establish guidelines and policies, leading to its acceptance as an equal provider of mainstream dental care.
Magnetized Water on Kidney Function
Submitted by staff on Sun, 2006-07-30 04:42.EFFICACY OF A NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER ON KIDNEY FUNCTION
Michael Galitzer, M.D., President, American Health Institute on Anti-Aging Medicine, Santa Monica, California, Howard Reminick, Ph.D., Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D., Ohno Institute on Water and Health , Willoughby, Ohio (November 1999)
Water, which makes up over 70% of the body's structure, is the most influential and vital component which provides the body with a mechanism to maintain and restore homeostasis.(1) However, environmental changes have imposed many new pathologic influences, which have overtaxed the body's ability to remain in a state of balance.(2) Among these are toxic drinking water, and soil toxicity and mineral depletion which affect nutritional components in food. 3 The results can be seen in the rise in incidence of chronic, degenerative diseases, which are not successfully treated by conventional medicine.(4,5) In fact, this dilemma has been further compounded by the standard procedure of over-administering medications which present long-term difficulties in the body's ability to maintain its state of balance, or homeostasis.(6,7)
Increasing Mercury Excretion
Submitted by staff on Sun, 2006-07-30 04:35.Effect of Naturally Magnetized Water on Increasing Mercury Excretion Post Removal of Amalgam Fillings and IV-DMPS Treatment (2002). Michael Galitzer, M.D., Howard Reminick, Ph.D.Harold Ravins, D.D.S., and Yoshitaka Ohno, M.D., Ph.D.
Introduction: Biological dentistry has long been a proponent of eliminating mercury in dental fillings, due to its extensive life of releasing high toxicity into the blood. Chelation is a highly effective procedure in removing mercury, as well as other heavy metals. The experimental treatment, Nariwa, a naturally magnetized water from Japan, has been studied for over five years and has been found to increase cell hydration, assimilation of nutrients into the cells, tissue detoxification and lower pH acidity. Previous uncontrolled trials with Nariwa water showed consistently higher mercury excretion levels than had previously been found after an IV-DMPS (di-mercaptopropane sulphonic acid) chelation treatment.

BioMagnetic Hydrology
Submitted by staff on Sun, 2006-07-30 04:19.BioMagnetic Hydrology: The Interactive Effect Of Two Forces Of Natural Energy - Water And Magnetism
In the current era of rapid scientific progress, many concepts which were once "scientific truths" as recently as 20 years ago are no longer tenable. But of all the discoveries, none is more important than the theory of the human energy field. In a very short time, scientists have revisited their thinking from denial of the existence of energy fields to absolute certainty that they exist. This revelation has worked its way into scientific investigation in bio-medical research. As a result, medical interest has begun to focus on the magnetic fields around the body, referred to as bio-magnetic fields. This is beginning to be understood as perhaps the main catalyst of human energy.
Bacteria in Intestinal Flora
Submitted by staff on Sun, 2006-07-30 04:13.A STUDY ON EFFECT OF NATURALLY MAGNETIZED WATER ON THE STABILITY OF BACTERIA IN INTESTINAL FLORA
Ohno, Y. and Reminick, H. "A Study on Effect of Naturally Magnetized Water on the Stability of Bacteria in Intestinal Flora: Implications for Health and Anti-Aging", Explore! for the Professional, Prescott, AZ, Vol 10:3, 2001.
Introduction: Conventional medicine is still driven by Pasteur's Germ Theory, which he recanted before his death. Pasteur based his theory of disease on what he discovered in how fermentation takes place, which he believed was the result of the effect of bacteria on yeast and could not take place outside of living cells. However, von Liebig discovered what was to become the Chemical Theory, that fermentation was caused not by bacteria, per se, but by changes in the molecular structure of bacteria. This opened the door for studying how bacteria works in the intestinal flora of the body, and how bacteria can either produce fermentation, which keeps bacteria healthy and stable, or putrefaction, which produces destructive bacteria. Bacteria in the body is responsible for critical bodily functions and, therefore, must not be destroyed. The free use of antibiotics over the past 40 years has been attributed to the destruction of essential bacteria in the body and a rise in chronic, degenerative diseases.
Alzheimers: Memory Loss Delay
Submitted by staff on Sun, 2006-07-30 01:42.EFFECTS OF MAGNETIZED WATER ON MEMORY LOSS DELAY IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Ohno, Y. "Effects of Magnetized Water on Memory Loss Delay in Alzheimer's Disease", Frontier Perspectives, Center for Frontier Sciences, Temple University, Vol 6(2), Spring/Summer, 1997.
Introduction: Previous studies and experimentation with magnetized water in Russia, China and U.S. have reported improvement in persons with aging-related diseases. Physicians in Japan have been treating chronic illnesses with magnetized water for years and have reported positive results. The author has conducted numerous studies with a magnetized water from Japan with his patients and has reported positive results. Progression of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's may be due to toxicity of medications accumulated in cells, loss of nutrients necessary for neurotransmission, and contaminants found in drinking water, and may be delayed with a daily regimen of magnetized water.
