Jeopardy! broadcast information
Jeopardy! is an American television quiz show created by Merv Griffin, in which contestants are presented with trivia clues in the form of answers and must phrase their responses in the form of a question. The show has experienced a long life in several incarnations over the course of nearly a half-century, spending more than 11 years as a daytime network program and having currently run in syndication for 30 seasons. It has also gained a worldwide following with a multitude of international adaptations.
Art Fleming era[edit]
Original series (1964–75)[edit]
The original Jeopardy! series, hosted by Art Fleming, premiered at 11:30 am Eastern (10:30 Central) on March 30, 1964, originating from the NBC headquarters in New York City's Rockefeller Center. NBC moved the program to 12:00 noon Eastern (11:00 am Central) after 18 months,[citation needed] making it accessible to businessmen coming home for their lunch break or else watching it on restaurant or bar sets, and college students departing their classes for the day. These two constituencies, who ordinarily did not have the time or interest to view other daytime programs, made the show a runaway hit, propelling its ratings to second place among all daytime game shows by the end of the decade—second only to its immediate lead-in, The Hollywood Squares.[1] The show had practically no trouble whatsoever against soap operas such as Love of Life on CBS and mostly sitcom reruns on ABC.
In 1973, Lin Bolen, then Vice President of Daytime Programming at NBC, began eliminating longer-running game shows from the network in an aggressive attempt to bolster ratings among women aged 18–34. Refreshing the daytime lineup became especially imperative to Bolen when CBS launched a surprise success in the soap opera The Young and the Restless at Noon/11, drawing away younger audiences in particular. Although Jeopardy! continued to produce high ratings in the 12:00 noon time slot (also against the ABC revival of Password), Bolen moved the game to 10:30 am Eastern (9:30 Central) on January 7, 1974, putting it up against CBS' The $10,000 Pyramid,[1][2] and placed Jackpot!, a stylish, youth-oriented riddle contest hosted by Geoff Edwards, in Jeopardy! 's former time slot. Bolen and other NBC executives were surprised, though, when Jeopardy actually beat Pyramid for several weeks in February and March, prompting CBS to cancel Pyramid for failing to draw, according to producer Bob Stewart (who also produced Jackpot!), a 30 share that CBS daytime executives required a show to have in order to stay on its daytime schedule (Pyramid would return several weeks later on ABC in an afternoon slot and would go on to become one of the most popular games of the 1970s and 1980s.) CBS relocated Gambit to 10:30 am on April 1, which ran about even with Jeopardy! in the ratings, with Gambit having perhaps a slight lead, due to its more traditional housewife target audience.[citation needed]
However, Bolen was not interested in seeing an aging show like Jeopardy! stand in the way of her plans for a more youthful image for NBC's daytime lineup. So, on July 1 of the same year, NBC moved Jeopardy! 's time slot again, this time to 1:30 pm Eastern (12:30 Central) (replacing Three on a Match, yet another Bob Stewart-produced game) and placed it against ABC's Let's Make a Deal and CBS' As the World Turns, both of which had easily beaten the ratings of several programs placed in that same time slot by NBC since December 1968. At that time, Deal moved to ABC from NBC, which had carried it in that very time slot during much of the 1960s, in a dispute by packagers Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall over the latter network's refusal to make a weekly prime-time version of the show permanent.
With the July move, many of the previously devoted viewers began abandoning the program. Jeopardy! became the seventh show since 1968 to fail at 1:30/12:30, and a cancellation notice was issued by November 1974. Its replacement was the expansion of Another World to a full hour, the first daytime serial to expand to that duration; in April 1975, another serial, Days of Our Lives would begin occupying that time slot and eventually brought success to NBC there. Jeopardy! broadcast the 2,753rd and final episode of its original network run on January 3, 1975.[3] Some affiliates, including KNBC in Los Angeles, aired reruns in various other time slots through the first quarter of that year. To compensate Griffin for canceling the program, which still had a year left on its contract, NBC purchased Wheel of Fortune, another creation of his, which premiered on January 6, 1975 at 10:30 am Eastern (9:30 Central).
Weekly syndicated version (1974–75)[edit]
Griffin secured the rights from NBC to produce new episodes for first-run syndication, with Metromedia (who also syndicated Griffin's popular talk show) as their distributor. Griffin took this action mainly to keep the show in production in light of the show's deteriorating ratings on NBC daytime that would eventually led to cancellation; NBC had repeatedly refused Griffin's requests to do so in the past. These episodes began airing weekly in September 1974 and featured many contestants who were previous champions on the NBC version. Thirty-nine episodes were produced, with reruns of this version also airing in syndication through about summer 1975. Most stations aired this during the Prime Time Access slots in the early evening before network prime-time programming began, usually in a "checkerboard" pattern with other weekly shows, meaning a different syndicated show aired each night, like the networks in prime time. By 1974, though, the market was flooded with evening versions of network games like the Hollywood Squares and The Price is Right, and Jeopardy!, already on a popularity downswing for some time, did not get anywhere near nationwide clearance, thus dooming it to failure after one season.
Unique to this version was a bonus awarded at the end of the program, after Final Jeopardy! was completed. The episode's champion selected a prize hidden behind the thirty squares on the Jeopardy! board. Among the prizes was a $25,000 cash award which was hidden behind two squares. In order to win the top prize, the champion had to find both $25,000 cards in succession (winning, of course, the prize on the second pick, if it was not the latter half of the grand prize). In later episodes, the bonus board was dropped and the evening's champion received a prize based upon his or her final score, with a Chevrolet Vega or Chevrolet Caprice (or even additional cash prizes of $10,000 or $25,000) as possibilities.
The set also featured a string of flashing lights around the show logo behind the contestant area, and Fleming wore a tuxedo with a check-patterned jacket, instead of his usual business suit and necktie. When production ended, the program's history in New York City came to an end as well.
The All-New Jeopardy! (1978–79)[edit]
After two pilot episodes were shot (the first one for CBS in 1977), NBC debuted a revival, The All-New Jeopardy!, on October 2, 1978, placing it on its schedule at 10:30 am Eastern (9:30 Central), where it took the place of the soap opera For Richer, For Poorer. From its debut until January 5, 1979, Jeopardy! aired against the first half-hour of the hit show The Price Is Right, which aired on CBS. NBC moved the program to noon on January 8, which put it up against another popular game show, The $20,000 Pyramid, on ABC and the soap opera The Young and the Restless on CBS. Jeopardy! 's audience, which was already small at 10:30, dwindled even further with the move to noon and on March 2, 1979, the show left the air for a second time in favor of expanding the #1 soap opera in daytime at the time, Another World, by thirty minutes to ninety.
Originating from the NBC Studios in Burbank, California,[4] this version featured some unique gameplay elements of its own. In the most notable of these elements, the lowest scoring player would be eliminated from further play after the Jeopardy! round.[5] The remaining two players played the Double Jeopardy! round until either its completion or time was called (usually the latter), and the player with the most money was declared the winner.[5]
Instead of playing the original format's final round, known as Final Jeopardy!, the day's champion played a bonus game called "Super Jeopardy!" to try to win an additional cash prize. The round consisted of five categories (instead of six in the main game), each with five clues of no determined value. The object of the round was to answer five questions to create a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line on the board.[5] Players had to create the line before accumulating three strikes, which were given if a player either failed to respond (passing was not allowed without penalty) or gave an incorrect answer.[5] If the contestant struck out $100 was awarded for each correct answer given, but if the contestant was successful he/she would win $5,000.[5] For each successive time a champion played the Super Jeopardy! round, regardless of whether or not the player had won the round the day before, he/she would play for $2,500 more than he/she had the previous time— thus, a second trip would be played for $7,500, a third $10,000, a fourth $12,500, and a fifth and final trip $15,000. A player could earn $50,000 from Super Jeopardy! alone, provided that said player won each Super Jeopardy! round over a five-day reign as champion.[6]
Daily syndication era (1984–present)[edit]
Following the success of the nighttime syndicated version of Wheel which had premiered in 1983,[7] Griffin sold a new syndicated version of Jeopardy!, hosted by Canadian-born TV personality Alex Trebek, to its same distributor, King World Productions (which would much later be folded into CBS Television Distribution). The Trebek version officially premiered on September 10, 1984,[8] and introduced updated technology to the program, replacing the former manually operated game board featuring clues printed on pull cards with television monitors to display clues. The main difference from the 1964-75 versions was that only the winning contestant kept his or her earnings, while the runners-up were awarded higher-end consolation prizes instead (changed in later years to $2,000 for second place and $1,000 for third).
Early struggles[edit]
Initially, Jeopardy! was relegated by managers of some television stations to unpopular morning, afternoon, or late night slots, and it was not unusual for both Jeopardy! and Wheel to air either non-consecutively, on different stations, or even against one another. However, the new version built upon early ratings success in Cleveland and Detroit, where it had been slotted in the same 7:00–8:00 pm period (the Prime Time access hour) in which Wheel also appeared, and soon developed a strong following among viewers.[9] Coinciding with the peak of popularity for Trivial Pursuit and the installation of electronic trivia games (e.g. NTN Buzztime) in pubs and bars,[10] Jeopardy! was slowly beginning to become a major success despite some markets still airing the program in unfavorable time slots. One such market was New York City, where NBC's East Coast flagship, WNBC picked up Jeopardy! and placed it at 1:30 AM following Late Night with David Letterman.
Although the series was indeed proving to be a hit, its late time slot in the country's largest media market began to concern its distributor. Even though Letterman's show and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, the two programs preceding Jeopardy!, were strong ratings winners and helped the show find an audience, a late night time slot is not usually considered beneficial for a first run series.[by whom?] At WNBC, every possible daytime or early evening slot that might have been available for Jeopardy! was spoken for by either network or other first-run syndicated programming.[citation needed] At mid-season, seeing no opportunity for an earlier airing at WNBC, King World pulled Jeopardy! from the station.
Jeopardy! moved to WABC at 4:00 pm, on December 31, 1984, following ABC's cancellation of The Edge of Night and the return of the time slot to the affiliates. It was followed by Name That Tune, which the station had been airing in the morning. Jeopardy! was intended to serve as the anchor,[citation needed] to help the struggling Name That Tune gain a bigger audience, and to improve the station's overall ratings in the hour leading to Eyewitness News at 5:00 pm. It did not work as WABC had planned, however. Over the next year and a half, WABC aired Name That Tune, Divorce Court and the syndicated Sale of The Century at 4:30,[citation needed] none of which succeeded in the ratings. This left Jeopardy! as the only show drawing ratings for WABC in late afternoon. WABC, however, was growing impatient[citation needed] and a change was in the works that would affect the station's schedule for the next three decades.
Prime Time Access shakeup[edit]
As the 1986-87 season began, Jeopardy! continued to air at 4:00 PM with WABC picking up a syndicated edition of the CBS daytime game show Card Sharks to air at 4:30 PM. That season also saw The Oprah Winfrey Show debut in national syndication after two years as a local talk show based out of WLS-TV in Chicago, and WABC began airing it at 10:00 AM following their own locally-produced variety talk program, The Morning Show. Oprah became an overnight success and quickly surpassed Donahue as the most popular daytime talk show in the United States. Meanwhile, the struggles at 4:30 PM continued as Card Sharks joined its predecessors as series unable to piggyback off of the ratings of the popular Jeopardy! ahead of it.
Before 1986 ended, WABC planned to move Oprah to the 4:00 PM slot Jeopardy! and Card Sharks occupied, where it would remain until the show ended its run in 2011. This move would result in both game shows being forced to air at another time. While WABC simply jettisoned the low rated Card Sharks to late night following Nightline, Jeopardy!'s continually increasing popularity required the station to find a more viable timeslot to air the show in. At the time, WABC did not have anyplace to move the show except to the 10:00 AM slot Oprah had just vacated. However, WABC decided to go even further and made a decision that would shake up many stations' early evening schedules in the years to come.
At the time, as the station itself (and competitors WNBC and WCBS) had done for years, WABC aired an hour-long edition of Eyewitness News at 6:00 PM, with the national World News Tonight broadcast following at 7:00 PM. WABC's remaining Prime Time Access slot, at 7:30 PM, was filled by a John Davidson-hosted revival of Hollywood Squares, which premiered that fall (along with Oprah and Card Sharks), and was doing fairly well in competition against the popular nighttime syndicated edition of Wheel of Fortune on WCBS. WABC, seeing the performance of Squares, thought they could draw the same or better ratings with Jeopardy! as a lead-in to Hollywood Squares. There was also no rule that required WABC to air World News Tonight at 7:00 PM, and thus the decision had been made.
On December 15, 1986, the same day that Oprah moved to 4:00 PM, WABC reduced the 6:00 PM broadcast of Eyewitness News by 30 minutes and moved World News Tonight to 6:30 PM, with Jeopardy! airing at 7:00 PM and Squares following it at 7:30 PM. To alert viewers to the timeslot changes, WABC launched an advertising campaign entitled "Prime Time Begins At 7 On 7".[11] In addition, WABC would fill Oprah's vacated 10:00 AM slot after The Morning Show (which itself entered national syndication in 1988 as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee) with a second run of the previous evening's broadcast of Jeopardy!, followed by a revival of the 1970s game show, Split Second at 10:30 AM; the latter program would be canceled by the end of 1986-87 season. WABC would permanently fill the 10:00 AM timeslot in September 1987 by gaining the New York rights to Sally Jessy Raphael's eponymous talk show, and the transformation of WABC's daytime lineup was complete.
The move produced a ratings win in both the 6:30 and 7:00 PM timeslots, as World News Tonight also benefited from the timeslot switch. Eventually WCBS and WNBC capitulated, as their networks' respective national newscasts eventually moved to 6:30 PM as well.[12] After moving the CBS Evening News to 6:30 PM by the fall of 1988, WCBS picked up the game show Win, Lose or Draw to air at 7:00 PM as a lead in for Wheel, while WNBC (which also moved NBC Nightly News to 6:30 PM as well) eventually began airing newsmagazines in the hour preceding prime time such as Inside Edition.[13]
As for WABC, which has continued to air Jeopardy! at 7:00 PM ever since, initially the same lead-out issues continued to plague the station, as Hollywood Squares saw its ratings decline, would eventually be dropped from the timeslot later in the 1987-88 season (in favor of a return of Entertainment Tonight to WABC), and moved to WPIX where it remained until the end of its run in 1989. In 1990, WABC would acquire Wheel to air following Jeopardy! at 7:30 PM, where it has remained ever since, as WCBS was looking to air different programming (such as the newsmagazine Hard Copy, which it picked up in 1989) in its access hour. ET would eventually move to WCBS, and now airs in Wheel 's old 7:30 PM slot. WABC's successful access hour move eventually resulted in many Eastern and Pacific Time Zone network affiliates across the United States moving their network newscasts to 6:30 PM. In the Central and Mountain Time Zones though, while affiliates in these time zones generally program Wheel at 6:30 PM, Jeopardy! largely continues to air during late afternoon (and in some cases, morning) timeslots, as many of their affiliates in these time zones continue to air local newscasts in the access hour following their networks' respective national newscasts.
Jeopardy! and Wheel have since become staples on seven of ABC's eight owned-and-operated stations (WABC, KABC/Los Angeles, WLS, WPVI/Philadelphia, KGO/San Francisco, WTVD/Raleigh-Durham and KFSN/Fresno). The only exception is KTRK in Houston, which has never carried both game shows (in part due to an hour-long newscast in the Prime Time Access hour where Wheel would normally broadcast); both game shows have aired since the 1980s on Gannett-owned CBS affiliate KHOU.
Ratings and critical reception[edit]
Since its debut, the syndicated version of Jeopardy! has gone on to win fourteen Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show, achieving this honor most recently in 2014, and today it holds the record as the most honored program in this Emmy award category.[14]
The show was the subject of great interest and increased ratings (often out-performing Wheel and even prime-time programs) in the early portions of the 2004–05 season as contestant Ken Jennings, taking advantage of newly relaxed appearance rules, won 74 matches before being defeated by Nancy Zerg in his 75th appearance. He amassed $2,520,700 over the course of his winning streak as well as a $2,000 second-place prize in his 75th appearance, thus earning the record as the highest money-winner ever on American game shows, and his winning streak led the show to become TV's highest-rated syndicated program.[15]
On September 11, 2006, with the start of Season 23, Jeopardy! began broadcasting in high definition. King World and production company Sony Pictures Television indicated that as of August 10, 2006, some 49 of the 210 stations that carried the show at that time were prepared for the transition. Sony uses the 1080i HD format to record the show, but since Jeopardy! is syndicated, stations using the 720p format had to manually transcode the show from an HD satellite feed before broadcasting it. This issue was remedied with the introduction of the Pathfire satellite system for high-definition syndicated content distribution.[16][17]
On January 2, 2007 one third of subscribing stations originally renewed Jeopardy! through Season 28 (2011–12),[18] but by April 8, 2010 Jeopardy! was given an additional two year renewal through Season 30 (2013–14).[19] Then in 2012, Trebek and Wheel personalities Pat Sajak and Vanna White renewed their respective contracts when the shows' ABC-owned affiliates renewed both game shows through the 2015–16 season.[20]
Spin-off programs[edit]
Jep!, an adaptation geared towards children aged ten through twelve, aired on Game Show Network (GSN) from 1998 to 2000.
Rock & Roll Jeopardy![edit]
Rock & Roll Jeopardy!, a musically-oriented variant hosted by Jeff Probst, aired from 1998-2001 on VH1.
Sports Jeopardy![edit]
In fall 2014, Crackle, an online video portal owned by Sony, began exclusively carrying Sports Jeopardy!, a themed version of the show with material focused entirely on sports trivia. Sportscaster Dan Patrick hosts the webseries, which produces new episodes once a week.[21] Kelly Miyahara, a member of the Jeopardy! Clue Crew, serves as an on-camera announcer.
In this version, players play for points, with the second and third place contestants winning $1,000 and $2,000 each (the same as the parent series) and the winner earning $5,000. There are no returning champions. The top three scorers from the first season will compete in a "Tournament of Champions" for a $50,000 top prize. Also, each category has only four clues (250, 500, 750 and 1,000 in the Jeopardy! round, with those values doubled for Double Jeopardy!) compared to five in the parent series. The fewer clues allows Patrick and the contestants more time to interact during the interview portion of the show and during a "postgame" segment during and after the closing credits.
Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek made a guest appearance on the third episode of Sports Jeopardy! reading the "Final Jeopardy!" clue.
International adaptations[edit]
The popularity of Jeopardy! in the United States has led the show's format to launch in many foreign countries throughout the world. This has led the American version to conduct "International Tournaments" in which champions from the show's foreign adaptations competed in a one-week tournament identical to the semifinals and finals of the American version's "Tournament of Champions".[22][23]
Most versions are faithful to the American version's format, but some use unique formats of their own; for example, the Czech and Slovak adaptations eschew the show's trademark "answer and question" format in favor of a simple, standard quiz format, where clues are presented as questions or tasks and the contestants simply answer the questions or perform the tasks indicated, rather than providing responses phrased in the form of a question.

Even though the program has spawned many foreign adaptations, the American syndicated version of Jeopardy! is itself broadcast across the world, with international distribution rights held by CBS Studios International (which, like the show's U.S. distributor CBS Television Distribution, is a unit of CBS Corporation). In Canada, the show is broadcast by all affiliates of CBC Television except for CBET-DT in Windsor, Ontario (due to broadcast rights in that region being held by WDIV-TV in Detroit).[26] Like most American game shows that air in Canada, Canadians are eligible to appear as contestants on the American version. (However, just as Wheel of Fortune once had its own French-Canadian version, there was also a French-Canadian version of Jeopardy! that aired for a few seasons in Quebec, on TVA, from 1991 to 1993.) Before 2008, Jeopardy! aired across Canada mostly on CTV stations, although the Vancouver CTV station CIVT-TV has never aired the show (the show has, however, apparently aired before on local Global station CHAN-TV), and in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, the show has aired on NTV.
In Canada, funding decreases to CBC led to the network declining to renew Jeopardy! and Wheel for the 2012–13 season,[27] in favor of producing its own game show.[28][29]

This led eventually to the International Tournament of 1997, which was won by Michael Daunt, a mild-mannered accountant from Canada with a kindly demeanor and a killer instinct that emerges about every twelve seconds.

Seriously? Berger outright slandered and libeled the other commissioners on numerous occasions, both before and after his election. He literally accused specific members of corruption - which he has yet to back up those statements with facts. I don't particularly like Jason Thompson either, but if I were him or Catlin or Davis and Berger accused me of corruption of my office in a public forum I would have sued his pants off.

Five Greatest Moments at Prime Park
Dec 11th 2014We recap the five best moments at the best park of the season so far with an EPIC highlight reel of all the action!
- Views: 164

On Saturday, February 19th, Mount Seymour in Vancouver and Nike 6.0 hosted the highly anticipated second annual Nike 6.0 Greatest Hits Park Jam.
Everyone was treated to a beautiful bluebird day, perfectly manicured park, and the newest Greatest Hits feature to step up to, the SLC Rail Gardens Double Line. The whole setup flowed from top to bottom immaculately, starting with last year's Red Ledge, followed by the Burlington Double Set, and finally the SLC Double Line.
The Red Ledge
The Burlington Double Set
The SLC Double Line
About 200 participants showed up, some who made the two-hour drive from Whistler, to session the park and get boat loads of free swag for their efforts. And to top it all off, Monster Energy was pumping up the crowd all day long with live DJ sets and free samples while hot dogs and burgers were flying off the grill for all to enjoy. Overall you couldn't have asked for a better day on the mountain.
We recap the five best moments at the best park of the season so far with an EPIC highlight reel of all the action!
The Dalbello Jam Session contest is now open. Upload a shot to see how your rail game stacks up against the rest of Newschoolers!
The greatest Superunknown loser of all?
Still way too early to be excited, but we are anyway!

Watch 3 Minutes From 'Cho Dependent'
Description:Starting in 2000, Margaret Cho has released a steady stream of funny, filthy and surprisingly moving stand-up specials. Her latest, Cho Dependent, has just gone on sale and Insider.com has a sneak peek at the first three minutes! The show tackles everything from sex to politics, and kicks off with a discussion that encompasses both: her time on Dancing with the Stars alongside Bristol Palin. And you know I wouldn't have picked a clip that didn't include Margaret imitating her mother. (3:30)

A VERY special visitor will be making a guest appearance in Hawes next week to help Dales residents celebrate an historic achievement.
Postman Pat will be on hand when the new community-run Post Office opens for the first time.
The new facility – sited in the Upper Wensleydale Community Office – will open for business on Thursday June 26. The daily responsibility for running the office will pass from the current Post Office team of Steve and Linda Reynolds, to 22-year-old Imogen Kirkbride, the newly-appointed postmistress. Upper Dales councillor John Blackie will become the Community Volunteer Head Postmaster, with overall responsibility for the operation.
- UPDATE: Dog missing for five days found
- UPDATE: Kendal to Sedbergh road shut after heavy dumping of snow
- NOSTALGIA: Kendal lord rebelled against 'cruel' king
- Bark in the park
"We have demonstrated that with determination and enthusiasm, it is possible to keep these wonderful communities alive and thriving. It takes effort and energy and commitment, but the alternative is too depressing to contemplate." The Post Office in Hawes was threatened with closure as part of a nationwide reshaping of the organisation. In its place, the Post Office proposed to send a mobile office three times a week.
Undelivered mail would have had to be collected in person from Leyburn - 17 miles further down the valley from Hawes.
The new-look Post Office will be sited in the Upper Wensleydale Community Office, which already houses the local library and also provides a platform through which residents can access services provided by Richmondshire District Council, North Yorkshire County Council, and North Yorkshire Police. As well as providing the counter service in Hawes, the new postmistress will supervise other counter staff, provide a counter service at outreach Post Offices in Bainbridge and Askrigg, and account to the Head Postmaster (Councillor Blackie) for all financial transactions.
As well as Postman Pat, other guests at the handover ceremony next week will include Ray Allen and Shirley Iveson, who between them have delivered hundreds of thousands of letters, packets and parcels to the Upper Dales over 50 years.

Us Five Siblings

When we were pre-teen, our father took us hiking in a mountain surrounding Port-au-Prince. The mountain name is "Morne de L'Hopital". Nowadays, it is not usual for us to be gathered in one place at a time. We ladies,(each one of us), live in a different Borough in New York. Our only brother lives in Florida. On June 4, 2011, an unfortunate circumstance reunites us all: the sudden passing of our first cousin, Maurice Joel Seide, on May 30, 2011. From right to left: Gladys, Nicole, Micheline, Edith, and Serge Faublas.

Well, that's just fucking great. Just what I bloody needed, some spotty-faced, fat-arsed, post-adolescent manky minger checking out my ronson. I could, I suppose, jump up to shut the door, but then the said spotty-faced et cetera et cetera would be checking out my plonker instead.
Not a viable alternative.
Éowyn's pulled part of the duvet over us in an attempt to cover up the detritus of our fucklesticks, though really the only part of her not covered by yours fucking truly is the side of her torso; it's my back and bum that'll get the attention here, from what I can hear from the foyer – squeaky, oh-my-god voices that'll bloody well shark my starkers arse the moment they see it legged over the landlady here.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Here comes Dorcas and her giggly, tee-hee mob about to crash my private party. Figures they'd come in after I've fucked a delectable piece of ass like Legolas and not some balding, paunchy accountant like Harry, who they've been hooking me up with for months. Like I couldn't do any better than Harry Head-Up-His-Ass McMonahan, with his comb-over and starched Ralph Lauren shirts. Insulting, really, considering I'm over ten millennia old and at one time had half the Babylonian Empire lusting after me.
Shit, shit, shit.
I can feel him clench, tense and ready to fly off at the slightest movement; how many times did I see him like this, eyes dilated black, muscles bunched, fingers compressed, right before he leapt from wherever he happened to be sitting, arms outstretched, hands wrapped around cold sharp steel, eyes hard and present; faster than I could mark him he would be upon an enemy, and in an instant whoever happened to be threatening us – an australopithecine, a Roman centurion, a rogue bandit – would be goggle-eyed, twitching, sporting a glistening red bib beneath a gaping slit in his throat. Gimli would always fuss at him: "Couldn't you leave me even one foe to slay, Legolas?" – and he would twist his long lean body, eyes gleaming ferally, hands drenched in blood: "No, good Gimli! You know I am ever selfish." And Aragorn would laugh as Legolas wiped the blood upon the clothes of the aggressor, callous, jaded to death. It was that very reaction that spurred Faramir's rejection of the whole lot of them. "We are above that," he'd tell me. "We do not care for such cavalier acts of antagonism. We have progressed beyond that." But have we? Here we are, ten thousand years and more beyond that day I first saw Legolas slit someone's throat, and I'm ready to cheer him on as he tackles my roommate's repulsive friends before they ogle his manhood. Hell, I'm perfectly prepared to admit I'd like to see him hold a blade to my ex's throat – not to kill him, mind – not that he could anyway – just to see his eyes bug out, maybe let him wet himself. Yeah, that'd be pretty satisfying.
Hold hard, hold hard, Leggsie, not a matter of fucking life and death, just a flat mate, just the rent-girl. You're not even holding a bloody knife. Not that you need it, mind.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. What a cock-up. Nothing makes knobbing look quite so bloody base as a walk-in. At least we're not getting off at Clapham Junction; I'd be even more brassed than I already am.
Brassed? More like fucking embarrassed. Not so much for me – I'm only some grotty oik, after all – but for Éowyn. Probably been looked up to as some oofy flash, and now I make her seem a right slag.
"Dorcas!" I call, hoping to forestall the horror. "Wait – don't come in – "
Too late. Shit. She and her dingie friend Cyndi-With-An-I sweep in the doorway, painted faces frozen into expressions of horrified astonishment. That in itself is kind of insulting. I mean, I know I'm no twenty-year-old party girl, but I'm hardly embalmed and buried YET. And after about a half second I realize their eyes are fixed on MY OWN PROPERTY, namely Legolas' Elven Ass, which is curving tantalizingly over my body into the cusp of my thighs.
MY ass. NOT theirs, dammit.
Fucking hell, they're checking out my arse.
"Winnie – " Dorcas doesn't seem to be able to speak clearly; even my name has come out as a squeak – appropriate, really, considering its phonetics.
"D'yer mind?" demands Legolas. He sounds really irritated – not that I can really blame him under the circumstances – but what male wouldn't want to have his ass scoped by a couple of twenty-somethings? This male, apparently, but then he shouldn't be showcasing it in tight black leather, now, should he? "We're tryin' to have a moment here."
"Sorry!" they squeal, and my door slams shut, making the whole house shake. Shit! If they've broken the door jamb again . . .
Oh, wait. I don't have to care anymore.
Hey . . .
Bloody hell, is she LAUGHING?
I DON'T HAVE TO CARE! I DON'T HAVE TO CARE! Legolas and I can jump on the back of his motorcycle and ride off into the sunset for the next fifty thousand years and IT DOESN'T MATTER! Property taxes? So what! Propriety? Bull shit! Food and shelter? Big deal! This stupid pink house's door jambs not being nailed in properly? Who cares! Not me! I have Elven Ass, baby! I'm FREE FREE FREE!!! I can jump on the bed and break the box spring if I want to! Swing from the massive ugly chandelier in the dining room! Walk all over the kitchen countertops! Paint the walls chartreuse! Run around the neighborhood buck-naked with my fingers up my nose singing Robin is to the Greenwood Gone! And it DOESN'T MATTER! Because in a hundred years they'll all be dead and the house will be relegated to either a demolition team or the historical society and we'll be somewhere – anywhere – else! And
She IS laughing. Fuckin' A, what the hell happened?
I have this overwhelming urge to start singing, "Ding dong, the witch is dead." I've officially lost it.
Well, I guess it wasn't so bloody bad after all. At least Éowyn's not brassed. Guess from her perspective it's sort of a fucking accolade, especially from some young git's standpoint. "The old divorcée gets a little," you know.
"I'm sorry, Legolas, I'm so sorry," she's saying, still gasping with laughter. Oh hell, what the fuck do I care? It's not like no one's ever seen my bloody arse before. I start to laugh too. I can hear the two little mankers in the living room, still squealing and laughing and saying to each other, "Can you believe it? Can you believe it? Ohmygod we have to call Dawn!" Ah, fuck it; what does it bloody matter? Let 'em bring over all their little fucking friends and watch me next time. Make 'em see what they've been missing all their pathetic little lives. Make 'em see Éowyn from a different point of view, anyway.
"Fuck," I say, dropping my face into her shoulder. Damn damn damn she still smells so fucking good; I could just take a bite out of her right now. She's shaking with laughter, her arms tight around me.
"At least they didn't come in five minutes ago," she adds, still giggling. This makes me smile.
Woah, now there's a predatory look on his face. I sincerely hope I haven't given him any kinky ideas or anything.
"You smell good, acushla," he says suddenly, wriggling his hips into mine. Shit! Is he ever satisfied? But the grin he gives me says he's only playing around. "But we should probably play good host, eh?"
I give an exaggerated sigh. "Oh, I suppose," I say, rolling my eyes. He laughs again and sits up on his knees, looking down at me. He's gorgeous, oh shit, he's gorgeous; look at him in all his rumple-haired, flush-faced, six-pack-abbed, long-muscular-armed, brilliant-blue-eyed glory. Suddenly I don't want him to get dressed. There's something so decadent about him; he should be wearing nothing but a leather studded collar and a nipple ring.
Holy shit. Did I just think that? There's a news bulletin for you: fucking Elves makes me kinky.
This is going to be very interesting.
He picks up his lollipop and puts it back into his mouth. Didn't know he had such a sweet tooth. He rolls it around, tucking it in his cheek and grinning at me around the stick. "Shall we, acushla?" he says, and taking my hand pulls me upright.
Acushla, you have no fucking idea how hard it is not knobbing you again right NOW. Because I want to, oh bloody hell do I want to; want to pull you up on my lap and do you upright, your legs around my back, my hands on your arse. But oh fuck, my stomach just growled again; and oh fuck there are two soppy gits having the screaming abdabs in the lounge, and they'll probably nobble the prawns if we don't fucking do something NOW.
But that doesn't mean I don't still want to knob you again. So I back off the bed and pull you onto your feet.
She's smiling, still giggling, grey eyes twinkling through that mop of golden curls. Oh my sainted aunt she's lovely; that wide smiling mouth, perfectly oval cheeks flushed pink, pert little chin and long white throat like a column of marble . . .
Fuck, fuck, fuck, have I got it bad.
There he goes again, his eyes going all weird and cloudy. I swear they start glowing sometimes. It'd be freaky if I didn't know how earthy and musky he really is. It's hard being freaked out by something ethereal when you know the flip side is incredibly intense sex. Makes it all worthwhile, somehow.
And anyway, his creepy eye-glowy thing is just part of what he is. If I don't accept it that means I don't accept HIM, which is unthinkable. He's as good as promised me he'll be mine forever, and if he can accept me how I am – human, female, flawed, irrational – then I can certainly accept the marks of the Eldar on him.
Kind of a turn-on, really, that this perfect, eerie, other-worldy being wants to spend all eternity with me. That my humanity doesn't bother him, that it might even excite him.
Oh fuck, why the fuck did those two bloody shites have to come home NOW? I want her I want her I bloody want her, I hate being polite at times like this but it wouldn't be right to leave it so . . .
Off we go. Be nice, Legs. You've just given the little mankers a gobsmacking, now it's time to bloody put things right.
I really, REALLY don't want to bother with Dorcas and her giggling mob right now, but what choice do I have? Just because I'm immortal doesn't give me the right to be rude. And it WOULD be kinda rude to let them walk in on us buck-naked, and just keep going at it while they're in the house. She does pay rent, after all. What was it Gandalf said – our highest goal was to be peace, both on a global and an individual scale. He even got quoted: "As far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."* That includes Dorcas and Cyndi-with-an-I, unfortunately. AND their dorky boyfriends. Damn.
Where the hell are my panties?
Oh, shit. I think they're still on the kitchen floor.
Knickers, knickers, where the fuck are her knickers? Oh bugger, left 'em in the kitchen. And where are my trousers? Wasn't I wearing them when we came in here? Oh fuck fuck fuck, that's right, I forgot; I shed 'em in the hallway. Shit.
Hm. Need a rug or something here, wrap it round my waist so I can go fetch 'em. Though the thought of pulling those fucking stiff and tight leather trousers up my sticky plonker isn't exactly endearing. Should've fetched my things from the fucking saddlebags, could've put on a pair of shorts or something.
Oh, well.
Hm. Don't mind looking at that. Nice arse she's got, my little acushla, white and round and pert sitting atop those long lovely legs. In fact I think I'll just sit my damn ronson down right here right now and admire it for a bit.
Ah. She's turned around. An even nicer view. Oh yes.
"You look smug."
He smiles, the bastard; he's not even PRETENDING to look at my face as he talks. "Just admirin' the view, acushla," he says innocently.
I give him a grimace and pull a pair of panties out of the drawer. Had to think a minute there – no tighty-whities for him; I'll indulge with these really pretty blue ones, with all the straps on them. Now his eyes are on them, contemplative, speculative.
"Just watchin'. Go on, now."
"Shouldn't you be getting dressed too? Or are you going out there in the rude nude?"
He grins; his eyes sparkle seductively. "Wouldn't the little fucks like that, then! No, need to get me trousers; they're out in the hallway."
"Oh!" I laugh. Just the thought of what Dorcas and Cyndi-with-an-I would say if he did . . . no, I'd better not think of it. But I can't help grinning as I pull on my panties and adjust the satin straps.
Mmm. Nice. Love the way her tits swing when she bends over. And oh fuck how I love the sound of those straps snapping on her hips. Like to give the bloody little things a snap myself.
Woah. Down, boy! Where the fuck's that rug? No need to let her see how excited I'm getting – fuck, I'm a pathetic little sod, aren't I?
She's rooting round in the drawer, picking out a brassiere. Now, there's no real need for that, is there, mate? One of the most fucking erotic things I can think of right now is the swing and jiggle of those tits under a shirt.
White, tan, pink, white, white, pink . . . why did I buy these panties if I don't have a bra to match?
Oh yeah – I couldn't afford it. Thirty six damn dollars, geez louise, like I can just blow that kind of money. White, maybe . . .
Suddenly he standing beside me, his hands on mine. Bra straps tangle around our fingers and he tugs them away from me, shoves them back in the drawer. He's still naked, and good grief, is he half-hard already? Elven stamina indeed!
"Don't need that, acushla," he says, his eyes glimmering. "Just a shirt. No need to hide what you have – too pretty for that."
"So you want me bouncing all over the place with my nipples sticking out; is that it?" I ask archly. I can't believe I'm saying this – I'm not usually so forward! – but I guess he brings out the worst in me.
Or best. Whatever.
Now his blue eyes are glowing again, that hot lusty flame that lights them up. And now his fingers are on my breasts, touching oh so lightly, stroking down to my nipples, making them harden. I can't help it – I want to be dispassionate and get out of this bedroom but oh holy shit that feels good – and when he lightly pinches and rolls them –
Oh holy shit, oh dammit dammit dammit, how does he DO that
How I love watching those silver eyes glaze over
When did my eyes close? Oh damn here I go again, there's that moan –
He's swallowed it with his mouth, those soft tender lips over mine, sliding, pulling, oh so gentle and warm; but before we can deepen into something that qualifies for the Point of No Return (sexually speaking anyhow) he's got my breasts cupped in his hands, feeling the weight of them against his palms and running his thumbs over my nipples.
Open your eyes, acushla. That's right. I know what you like, oh yes indeed, but fuck it now I'll show you what I like.
I whisper against her lips, she's flicking her tongue out to touch mine. Oh bugger, we need to leave this bedroom before we fucking forget those two manky mingers in the lounge. "I want to watch them move under your shirt," I say. Her tongue outlines my lower lip, her eyes close. Oh bugger, oh fuck, oh she tastes so good. "Sexy – very sexy."
"Mmm?" She gives my mouth one last lick and smiles, those gorgeous eyes half closed. "Think it's sexy for me to go around braless?"
"Fuck yeah," I say, and kiss her again. Oh fuck my plonker's up and at 'em already and OH FUCKING HELL she just wrapped her hand around it and OH SHIT OH FUCK OH NO NO NO
Woah, THAT got his attention! He straightened up so fast I could hear his spine snap. Nice to know Elven vertebrae do that too. He drops his head back, eyes closed, lets out a little hiss behind his teeth. And his hands have tightened on my boobs – gotta love that, makes them so so so happy – I'll just lean right on in here for another of those juicy yummy kisses he gives me and slide my hand down a little . . .
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK stop it stop it stop it oh god oh god oh god
and up . . .
and down . . .
getting a nice little rhythm going here, aren't we?
yes yes yes yes oh god oh god don't stop don't stop
This is very interesting; he's actually pulsing up into my hand. I look down at it. That big fat mushroom-shaped head is popping in and out of the circle of my fist, and it's got a drop of clear liquid pearling up at the tip. I run an experimental thumb over it and he lurches and gives a loud groan.
don't stop don't stop don't stop don't stop don't stop
"Like that, don't you?" I say. Oh shit, I'm PURRING! How did that noise manage to make its way up my throat?
"Oh fuck, Éowyn – " His voice is all raspy and he's panting, his eyebrows puckered over his closed eyes. Suddenly I feel powerful, knowledgeable. I know I can bring him off in record time. Up, down, up, down, up, down . . .
oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god
brush the tip with my thumb
FUCK oh holy shit oh fucking A oh fuck oh god
He's hanging on to my boobs like they're his lifeline or something; his body's stiff and trembling, head thrown back, face screwed up into a grimace of what I know is absolute and undiluted pleasure. How nice to be able to give back a little – gives me that warm, selfless feeling of providing gratification for its own sake.
Oh, and the sense of power. That's nice too.
I'm going pretty fast now; he's got his pretty face stretched into a grimace, that long lean lovely body taut and quivering, the breath coming out of his mouth is loud and raspy and mingled with groans that I'm POSITIVE Dorcas and Cyndi-with-an-I can hear – but I don't care; I'm getting my Elf off and that's the most important thing in the world right now.
Up down up down up down up down up down
oh yes oh yes oh yes oh yes oh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Hm, yes, seems to like that pretty well, judging from his reaction . . . getting close now, I can tell; his eyes are squeezed shut, his mouth stretched and contorted . . . breathing faster, more ragged and frayed –
it's too much too much oh god oh god oh god I can't I can't don't don't don't
Let's give those balls a little squeeze, shall we?
Whoa, bet they heard THAT!
oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck . . . oh, oh, oh, oh.
He sinks to his knees; I go down with him, still squeezing a little. He's come all over my hand but I don't care – it was worth it to hear that groan, to see his body spasm like that. His head's dropped down onto my shoulder; his hands are gripping my ribcage like a drowning man holds onto a lifesaver. His breaths are tattered, hitching in his chest, which is heaving like mad.
I did this. I, Éowyn daughter of Éomund, did this to him. I did this to one of the Eldar, to a Sindarin Elf. I did this to the Prince of Mirkwood, to a heartbreakingly lovely creature, all white translucent skin and whipcord muscle and satiny platinum hair. I drove all thought out of his mind and turned his legs to water. And all I did was jerk him off.
Ah – power! I'd forgotten how good it felt. Yes yes yes. I could get to like this.
Wait – how'd I end up on my bloody knees?
Oh wait, oh fuck – oh, bugger, oh bloody hell. How did she DO that?
Open your eyes, you manky gobshite. Open open open. What's that – blue panties – oh yeah – that's what started it all, the damn sexy things. Oh shit, oh fuck, oh bugger.
She unwraps her hand, it's all covered with spunk – better wipe that off – can't fix tea with it all crusty – oh fuck, look at her, the little bit; she's licking it off, oh fuck fuck fuck fuck, breathe breathe breathe . . .
Mmmm . . . Elven semen tastes like . . . like a sweet and salty and buttery pastry cream filling. Yum.
Look at him – mouth open, gasping for breath, eyes clouded and half closed, limbs still shaking. Gotta love that.
She's smiling – shit-eating grin, that's what it is. She knows. She knows what she just did to me.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh my sainted aunt. Fuck.
I'm made of rubber, my bones have dissolved. I think my fucking brain's dissolved too. Nothing in my head but jelly. I can't do anything, not a fucking thing. Bloody hell. I'm staring at her, she's smiling at me, no, grinning the little bit is grinning at me. She knows.
Oh hell. Did I get in deep.
"Better?" I ask brightly. I'm pumped, I'm not sure why. Was it because I just reduced him to the same gibbering, incoherent state I was in only ten minutes ago? He smiles, still panting, still trying to catch his breath.
"You – " He shakes his head, trying to clear it I guess. His arms go around me and I'm dragged to the floor with him on top of me, hot sticky sweaty Elf limbs all around me.
There are worse things.
"You little cow," he mutters into my hair. "Thought we were supposed to be gettin' dressed."
"Not my fault you left your pants in the hallway," I say. His hair smells good – warm, piney, sharp. Just for fun I run my fingers through it. The damp skin catches on the silky strands and pulls a little, enough to make him notice but not enough to hurt him.
"And where are your clothes, eh?" He draws back and smiles down at me. I can only smile back, my hands tangled in the long soft hair, his naked body on mine.
Then I remember. My panties and panty hose are still in the kitchen, and Dorcas and Cyndi –
"Shit!" I exclaim, and roll out from underneath him. Now he's laughing, a rich tenor laugh that echoes around the house, fills up the corners and drives out my demons. Not only did I make him groan, I made him laugh.
Oh fuck, I need a cigarette.
Where the hell is my lolly?
And my trousers – fuck. Still in the hallway.
Oh well. They know what we were doing in here by now . . . though that's the bloody quickest I've gotten my knob off in . . . hmm . . . let's see now . . . Japan, Antarctica, China, let's see . . .
Well, how interesting. To my recollection, and it's pretty damn good, never. Hah. One up to my little acushla. Knew she was a good investment. Fuck.
She's pulling on clothes, white tee shirt over her naked tits and blue jeans, faded and tattered and tight tight tight. Fucking A, you can practically see the lines of the straps on her knickers through them. Like those, yes indeed I do.
"I'll throw your pants in," she says, opens the door.
I look up at her, inverted, from my resting place on the floor. Fuck it, even upside-down she's a bit of all right. My acushla. Mine.
"Take yer time," I say, and I grin at her. She grins back. My acushla.
"No way I'm letting Dorcas get a load of that," she says, pointing to my plonker. That just makes me laugh harder.
She's jealous. I like that, mate.

Mine were both 40A, as I had a problem with one of the originals I switched to BPHobbies and replaced with 30A ESC's.
It only pulls 32Amps in static testing so 2 25A esc's will actually be fine. |

As far as the flaps, since we might not have the same transmitter I'll just say that I added 1/8" of down elevator movement to eliminate ballooning. |

Hey, if it ain't broke...... I just did it cause the bec is cheap and just good insurance..if something happens in the air its a little late in the game to say , oh I should have done this or that... Mine came with 40amp. esc's from graysonhobby
The retracts is the iceing on the cake..really makes it nice looking on those low fly bys... Putting lites on the wings also adds a lot, on nose gear too... I just can not say enough good on this diamond... |
Apr 18, 2011, 12:48 PM | |
With you 100% on this. Its just odd that I had put on a $50 BEC and everything crapped out like it would without one and now I fly without one and its perfect. I always put in becs and this was the first time I had gotten a negative reaction from the plane for putting one in. One of those anomalies in life you don't expect and hope doesn't happen ever again.

Thanks a lot for the photos, sioannid.
With the pdf and your photos I think I can integrate the retracts to my grand cruiser. One question: Where die you get this part from and how is it called? I already saw a similar part in the pdf but I don't know where to get it... Thanks in advance. Best regards Thomas |

For the metal part I used an old Allen 1,5mm wrench which I bent accordingly and glued it with 5min epoxy glue.
The plastic part I actually made it myself using a part from the body of my esky lama V4 as long as I was waiting for my order of the Nylon arms (look at the Pic). Follow the link to find them: http://www.europemodels.eu/c_6_Model...ttings/page_3/ |

WOW! After adding 2 mm down thrust to the motors and going to 9x6x2 blade props I took it out today and I love it! Now that it's set up right I see why everyone loves this plane so much, it's an absolute dream to fly and should be even nicer when I get the retracts in. I'm going to try 8x6 props though as the 9x6 cut my flight times to around 4.5 minutes and the batteries got warmer than I like. Even without the flaps it slows down very nicely and gently touched on the mains then carried the nose a few feet, like I had been flying it for years. Dynam really hit a home run on this one.

Country Girl
A Memoir
"Country Girl is Edna O'Brien's exquisite account of her dashing, barrier-busting, up-and-down life."--National Public Radio
When Edna O'Brien's first novel, The Country Girls, was published in 1960, it so scandalized the O'Briens' local parish that the book was burned by its priest. O'Brien was undeterred and has since created a body of work that bears comparison with the best writing of the twentieth century. Country Girl brings us face-to-face with a life of high drama and contemplation.
Starting with O'Brien's birth in a grand but deteriorating house in Ireland, her story moves through convent school to elopement, divorce, single-motherhood, the wild parties of the '60s in London, and encounters with Hollywood giants, pop stars, and literary titans. There is love and unrequited love, and the glamour of trips to America as a celebrated writer and the guest of Jackie Onassis and Hillary Clinton. Country Girl is a rich and heady accounting of the events, people, emotions, and landscape that have imprinted upon and enhanced one lifetime.

You have a lovely, tastefully decorated and very comfortable place here. Thanks so much for making it available for us to share! Dan & Fred, Sept '05
Our wedding here at 15 Montello was perfect – the familiar comfy condo made all the difference. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity-we are so lucky to know your home as our second one. Susan&Karen, Sept '05
Your home is so comfortable and warm. We could not have asked for more. Rebecca & Gary '06
Your condo is great, which made our visit to Ptown even better; best accommodations we've had thus far. Angelo &Kevin '06
First, apologies for not writing sooner. From the moment we arrived, we were so pleased to be in your apartment. The pics don't do it justice! We loved how clean, spacious and well appointed it is. Michael, who loves to cook, was especially happy with the full kitchen.
Now I realize why you asked us to call you regarding the rental - it's not just a rental unit; it's a home! We were happy to take good care of it.
On the way home we both said we'd definitely come back again this year, after Labor Day (2x in a year is a record for us!). Of course, back to work and reality sets in, so we hope to, but not sure, we can do it. But I promise we'll ask you if we do!
I came up to ptown to celebrate my 30th birthday and couldn't have been happier to spend it at this West End condo. Had tons of charm and character and was in pretty much the best location ever. I rented a bike, but honestly only used it to ride on ptown's world-renowned trails. Could walk almost everywhere else. The only thing I would note is that this is not an actual 1BR; it's more of a large studio, but it worked out fine since it was just the two of us. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
Enjoyed our stay at this comfortable condo. The nice layout made for an easy and relaxing week. It had everything we needed and in a very convenient location. Would definitely recommend it, and hope to stay here again!
Take in the town and bay views sipping a cool beverage perched from your 3rd/top floor private deck, or take a short stroll to all the shops, restaurants, entertainment, gym, and best coffee and pizza in town! If you feel like eating in, the supermarket, liquor store, and fresh fish market are all just a few minutes walk in the opposite direction.
One queen-sized bed; condo sleeps a maximum of 2 people, no exceptions
Condo is available June 27, 2015 through September 5, 2015 only.

What a wonderful time I had in P'town, especially staying at your gorgeous condo. It was so warm and inviting, and the views were fabulous! Thanks so much for the wine, and for furnishing and decorating the place like a home rather than a rental, it really made all the difference. Looking forward to next time! Robert, '07
I really enjoyed my stay in your comfortable condo – the light, the deck and the books! Jacques '07
Ski: We have been coming to P-town for many years and your place is the best we have ever stayed. We love the openness, exposed beams, windows, light, breezes, décor, blue tiles, water view. . . Thanks for the great book selection! We hope we can return to your lovely home. Eileen&Ellen '07
We had a beautiful peaceful week. The condo was as homey and comfortable as could be. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck & watching the activity below…Thank you for sharing your lovely place. Stacey&Cara '07
We have really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful condo. The bathroom is adorable. We will always remember our stay here in your cute quaint condo. Pam&Cheryl '07
Another beautiful week at your lovely home. Every year I return it just gets better and better. Heidi '07
This has been our favorite P'town rental. All of the thoughtful touches–the lovely rooftop views–the sunsets off the deck. Even cool spring weather didn't detract. We can hardly wait for our next trip. Tim&Rick '07

This is an awesome hotel. Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. The room is clean and up to date. Reservations messed up our room, but when we arrived, they made sure we were put in the room we requested without upping the room rate. The valet service is quick and friendly. Terrance was very nice to us. We had a great stay.
