Kyle Smith and Bodza began working together back in 2012 when both were deployed to Kyrgyzstan. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, Smith has completed four deployments in various places, and all the time, Bodza was by his side. The two became truly inseparable after Smith retired from his military service. It was then that he adopted Bodza after training hundreds of other military dogs for service. There was just something special about Smith's bond with Bodza that connected them for life.
It was later discovered that Bodza was suffering from degenerative myelopathy, a disease of the spinal cord that was causing pain in his old age. Bodza began dragging his paws and showing signs of weakness, and Smith began to understand that Bodza couldn't make it for long – he knew the 11-year-old German Shepherd would need to be put down. Watch the video of the two together and see how Smith never left his side – not even at the last moment of Bodza's life.
"I knew it was going to be a roller-coaster of emotions, but I had to be there. I wanted to be there." Something remarkable came from this experience. Bodza's whole life was a display of loyalty and service, both to his country, and to his best friend, Smith. Now, Kyle Smith honors this special dog's life in a striking way. Kyle reported that for all the dogs that gave their lives to loyalty and service, he honors them. The photo that was captured during Bodza's last moment is a testament to Kyle's honor, and the loyalty that they both shared. View the amazing photos below!

When Football Association officials attempted to discover last Monday what the criteria would be in sorting the European wheat from the Concacaf chaff, Fifa told them no decision would be made until a couple of days before the draw in December. "Yes, I would be disappointed not to be seeded," Sven Goran Eriksson admitted; partly because he remembers what happened at his two previous tournaments, where finishing only as runners-up meant a harder knockout tie against group winners.
Four years ago, although England were able to beat Denmark comfortably in the second round, the outcome was a quarter-final against Brazil rather than Turkey. Similarly, at Euro 2004, they would certainly rather have met Greece's artisans than the home country, Portugal.
All that is known is that two of the eight prime slots will go to the holders and hosts, who happen to be the sides Eriksson has identified as the ones to beat: Brazil for "their quality in midfield and attack"; Germany for "their mentality". If Argentina are also entitled to expect a top seeding, that leaves a maximum of five for other contenders, including England, France, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Sweden and - if they come through the play-offs - Spain and Turkey. But if the same criteria as 2002 are adopted, with world rankings and the three previous tournaments taken into account, Mexico and the United States will have a strong statistical claim.
The system is flawed in each case. Why should performances even eight years ago, let alone 12, have any relevance? In 1994, Bulgaria were World Cup semi-finalists, and Wimbledon, Sheff-ield Wednesday, Queen's Park Rangers and Coventry were in the top half of the Premiership. Times change. Secondly, Mexico, though they did well at the Confederations' Cup last summer, have had their usual easy ride in Central America, and on current calculations would - absurdly - be the third most deserving seeds in the world.
A Fifa spokesman has nevertheless suggested that no great changes are envisaged; hence the importance of England's games with Poland and Argen-tina. The result against the Poles, with 10 players unavailable, was therefore all the more welcome, as was the performance, putting into perspective some of the more hysterical reactions since defeat by Northern Ireland. Eriksson has had faith in his squad reaffirmed, and learnt among other things that the team is 1) able to thrive without David Beckham; and 2) much more solid with an identified holding midfield player.
While Owen Hargreaves and Michael Carrick (both injured) and Scott Parker (ignored) cursed their luck, Ledley King seized the day with all the opportunism he had shown while deputising in his more natural position for John Terry against France at Euro 2004.
The head coach has only four more games to convince himself of the best midfield formation, starting against the Argentinians. He intends to field his strongest side, and while admitting that "ideally" everyone should play in their club position, he was understandably impressed with King. So was Frank Lampard, so convinced there was a taller Claude Mak-elele covering his back that he repeatedly surged forward in best Footballer of the Year fashion, unrecognisable from the stumbling figure in Cardiff and Belfast.
Eriksson did admit late on Wednesday night that he had been partly responsible for those two poor team performances, and half a one in Copenhagen, by using players who were "not in 100 per cent form", while the squad had collectively "lost a little bit of our spirit to work together, run for each other".
Well covered at centre-back and midfield, his squad is less blessed at full-back and in attack, which means that every report of even a minor injury to Gary Neville, Ashley Cole, Michael Owen or Rooney over the next eight months should cause sweat to break out on the ice-man's brow. Seeing his head in a noose in the country's best-selling daily newspaper worries him less, partly as "I don't know if some of the critics reflect the English fans. But I've never ever met one. Maybe some of you think I should resign tomorrow, [but] we won the group, we have a good team. And I have absolutely no intention to do it".
That debate can be laid to rest until high summer, when we will see whether the seeds flower in the Black Forest or fall on the stony ground of theRuhrgebiet.Reuse content

Opioids are medicines generally used to manage pain by acting on specific nerve cells of the spinal cord and brain. These medications include:
Many people believe that prescription drugs are less dangerous when misused than illicit drugs because they are prescribed by a doctor. However, even prescription medication can have harmful effects when used in a way other than intended.
What are the side effects of using opioids?
Like other medications, opioids may have negative effects, even when used as directed. The short-term effects of using opioids may include:
There are also many dangerous and unpredictable effects which include: increased tolerance to the drug, so that more drug is needed to produce the pain relieving effect and with ongoing use the risk of developing an addiction increases as does the risk of overdose and death.
The decision to use opioids for chronic non cancer pain is one that must be carefully considered as there can be some serious consequences to long term use. For further background information for people using opioids check out the following video by Dr. Mike Evans.

Charlie's place was wonderful - very spacious, cosy and extremely homely. We felt right at home after a long day of travelling and were able to recharge our batteries there with a comfortable stay. Charlie's arrival instructions were very clear and he kept in constant contact with us throughout the stay. We had a great time and I will look him up again if I head back up to visit Hadrian's Wall in the future :)Eugene2015-10-28T00:00:00Z
Charlie's place is in a residential neighborhood in a small town. We were able to walk to the pub and restaurant, but the choices were limited. A drive would be needed to have additional selections. The space was just as described and comfortable for our family of four. This is actually Charlie's living space so it was very well equipped. We never saw Charlie but everything was clearly communicated. This is a nice place to rest overnight.Lori2016-03-27T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay at Charlie's during our trip along Hadrian's Wall. Even though he was away for the night, he made arrangements for us to access the house. The room was very comfortable, and we had all we needed food a good breakfast the next day. He also recommended a great pub for an evening meal.Lawrence2015-12-22T00:00:00Z
Charlie replied very quickly to our request and provided all the information we could have wished for. The place was easy to find and in a great location right next to Hadrian's Wall. The house was wonderful: very spacious, cosy, homely and clean. We spent a very relaxing night here - thank you very much!Marcel2016-05-08T00:00:00Z
Great room and a very nice house! Close to a part of Hadrian's Wall, but we drove to the part we wanted to see and walk. Charlie is a great guy and gave us the run of the place, a very relaxing time.Rick2015-09-27T00:00:00Z
I didn't actually get to meet Charlie but the room and facilities were second to none and he was very good to accommodate my rather loose arrangements for arriving! A lovely stay and great location for getting to the local pub after a long day's walk.Louise2015-07-09T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Charlie's was fantastic! The house is lovely, we had no problems at all. We had the house to ourselves so we didn't meet Charlie and Hannah, but they were very friendly and helpful through email. They had no problem answering any questions we had and were very quick to reply. Will stay here again next time we visit the area.Lily2015-10-26T00:00:00Z
Lovely bright room in a beautiful village right next to the wall. Hannah and Charlie were very friendly, and helped us out with a room at very short notice. The bed was comfortable- a great place to stay after a long days walk.Laura2015-09-08T00:00:00Z

My friends and I had a fantastic stay at Tony's cottage. The location was perfect for us, with some of the party travelling from Glasgow and others from Yorkshire. Although the location feels very rural it is also close to major road and rail links. The cottage itself was perfect, very homely, and perfect for pets.Terese2016-12-04T00:00:00Z
A beautiful cottage in the countryside. Close enough to the city to get there quickly, but a perfect getaway and quiet. Tony was on hand when we needed him and was so helpful to us with all of our questions. We will definitely book again the next time we are back for a visit!Sarah2017-03-21T00:00:00Z
Our family enjoyed a great weekend at Tony's cottage. The property is generally spacious, well-maintained and excellent value for money. There is a bus stop directly outside the cottage with frequent services into Newcastle city centre via the Metro Centre. The bathroom isn't designed for tall people with a very low ceiling over shower/bath. Beds, bedding and towels were all spotless. The countryside around and about is beautiful - lots of pretty villages near the Tyne and up around Hadrian's Wall. Thanks Tony, we had a great stay.Tim2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

Secluded property close to the river, but only 15minutes to the Town Centre. Shaun was a great host.Natasha2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Lovely house in a unique railway setting away from the noise of the city right next to the river Tyne with friendly hosts. We arrived in a group of 6 and could have done with more seating and more crockery, however everything else was great.Dan2016-12-11T00:00:00Z
5 adults and a baby visited for a weekend. Shaun was extremely helpful both before and during the trip offering local advice and tips. He even left us some essentials (milk, bread, oj)! The downstairs area was open which meant that the toddler could run about and the adults could chat. Although the house isn't baby proof the tv was wall mounted and there were minimal risk areas. The outdoor area was walled in with a gate so no accidental escapes to the river. The location was great: out of the was but only 20mins from shops and 15mins from a pub. The hill down to the house is very steep but we managed it with a pushchair. The views from the rooms are lovely and the path in front of the house could easily accommodate the pram. Room sizes were good (enough room for a travel cot in each one) although the hanging space was minimal. There is a toilet on each floor which is very useful. The hot tub was a welcome relax at the end of the day. We would definitely use Shaun's place again if we go to Newcastle.Katie2017-02-05T00:00:00Z
Lovely house with amazing view! Peaceful area even with a train track at the back of the house. Shaun is a really nice host, we enjoyed a lot our stay at his house. Recommend the place if you are looking for a place to relax.Harmonie2016-12-29T00:00:00Z
I organised this accommodation for a hen weekend for my best friend, it was fantastic value and Shaun was an excellent host, he checked on us before and throughout our stay and came to say hello at the end. As there were no other guests coming in that day he let us stay later so we had a relaxed check out. The railway crossing just before the house was a bit scary first time as the signal man wasn't the friendliest and you have to open two gates before you can cross and trying to direct a takeaway delivery was fun! The house itself was perfect for us, really spacious and in a pretty location right on the river. The beds were really comfy and there is a big corner sofa in the lounge. Would definitely recommend :)alice2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
Great for a quiet and scenic hideaway. Very friendly host . Lovely walks/ runs to be had.Patricia2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
This is a very newly build flat. The view from the house is beautiful. It is located very next to the river. We were seven people stayed for one night and we had a great stay. The house have two double and two single bedroom in two floor. One common room in ground floor. Two bathroom. Rooms are very clean and modern amenities. The host is very nice and had a great communication. The only problem is place is 2 miles away from the city centre. If you have car it would not be a problem. Pub and restaurant are nearby. The house is next to the rail line but from the house it barely noticeable.Hemanta2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic stay in the house. Six of us were on attending a workshop in the area and it was a great place to meet up in the evening. Shaun is lovely. He was a considerate and attentive host, and made us feel more than welcome. We were arriving late in the evening, so having a few breakfast essentials, plus biscuits, sweets and eggs from their own hens was a much appreciated gift. A taxi into town only costs about £15, so everything that Newcastle has to offer is virtually on your doorstep. We will definitely book again if we are in the area.Jo2016-12-14T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Tyne View, relaxed and quiet, just what one needs after a long walk. It is only a short detour from the Hadrians Wall path and there are good public transport connections on either side of the river.Frank2016-08-20T00:00:00Z
Such a fantastic location and enjoyable spot. Would love to come back again and spend some more time. Shelly was very helpful and friendly. And the house had all that we needed. Thanks very much!Anne2016-08-06T00:00:00Z
Wow!!! Just what the doctor ordered. Tyne View Cottage is a little gem of a place. Singularly unique, absolutely tranquil (even though the train line passes by 10 mtrs away). Shelly is a diamond- very friendly and down to earth. We just loved her attitude and the quirky aspects of the cottage. If you are one of those people who complains at the drop of a hat because things aren't "just so" then jog on. We all loved our weekend stay, as it provided a real haven from the stresses of life. We laughed, we relaxed, we unwound. Great neighbours next door who are really friendly. It not just big Arnie who'll be backgary2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
A really lovely cottage with a beautiful and very relaxing view of the river Tyne. We only used the ground floor but this was all the space we needed. A well equipped cottage , with a good workable energy system. As the weather wasn't at it's best we enjoyed the warmth of the fire together with the view over the Tyne. The railway behind the cottage wasn't a problem as it didn't make much noise. We stayed several nights and enjoyed the walk to the pub in Wylam, as well as many trips by car to places nearby. It was always a joy coming back to our retreat.Kees2016-07-03T00:00:00Z
Endroit parfait pour les amoureux de la nature. Typique Cottage anglais "eco-home"! Peut être bruit train et avion pourrait gêner certains. Pour nous ok.Virginie2016-07-24T00:00:00Z
Had a great time stoking the fire and staring at the river.Patrick2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
When you arrive at the cottage you have to cross a railway crossing which has to be called to get permission to cross. Shelly literally met us at the crossing. She was very helpful and the place is probably the quietest place I hjave been to. The cottage is beautiful and scenic. If you are looking for peace and quite then this is the place to be. We had access to both the rooms and this was great. It is an Eco cottage. A TV would have been nice but we benefitted from the Internet (was not in the listing). A great peace to relax (we did not really miss the TV) from the hustle. I would willingly stay there next time I am around. Full Marks.Shafique2016-08-11T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely few days at Tyne View Cottage exploring the surrounding countryside and enjoying the views and wildlife from the house: you will not be short of things to see or do. The cottage had everything we needed and was well equipped, you wouldn't really know you were off grid. The mainline train runs just behind the cottage but surprisingly caused no problems. The trains are so fast they have gone almost as soon as you hear one. In fact it provided a welcome bonus with the Flying Scotsman going past one evening. It was easier to park on the other side of the railway line and phone the signalman to gain permission to walk across the line. An added novelty for some but worth knowing if you have children. Shelly is a very friendly and obliging host who did her upmost to ensure we enjoyed our stay.jackie2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

The cottage is very understated-the photos don't do it justice-a beautiful cottage in a great secluded area. I'd only stopped for a night and didn't meet Alison but she was incredibly supportive with instructions and directions, as well as providing breakfast the next day. would definitely stay again but for a few days to enjoy the scenery and surrounding area.Alex2016-06-18T00:00:00Z
Very nice place. Would highly recommend.Mark2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
Nice room considering the budget and Alison was friendly and helpful. The cottage is at the end of a long farm road so a bit off the beaten track but this also meant it was quiet.Alex2017-01-11T00:00:00Z
Quite location though close enough to everything. Will be back.James2017-01-27T00:00:00Z
Brilliant, as described, the cat is mega friendly, close to the station so great for commuting etc, just perfect for our needs this weekend.Diane2017-01-23T00:00:00Z
I had a very relaxing and restorative week in Alison's cottage. It is quiet, cosy, and comfortable, close to Wylam and next to the river. I hope to return there again.Anthony2017-01-04T00:00:00Z
A very pretty little house in gorgeous surroundings. Dolly the cat slept on my bed all night - a delightful little cat, and a great hostess :) I didn't see Alison, who was away fro the night, and so had the house to myself. One tip - I had a new key, apparently, and as a city person, automatically locked the door from the inside before going to bed. Mistake - the new key jammed the lock and the neighbours had to let me out. Oops. Alison dealt with it quickly, calling the neighbours with the spare key as soon as I messaged her. They fixed it, and all was good. There will probably be a new key by now, or the issue will be sorted, but do check before locking the door from the inside. Very nice neighbours though - made instant friends with the lady to the right (looking at the houses), so didn't feel like a stranger, right from the start!Joy2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
It's a nice cottage with really quiet and beautiful sight. Alison is a great host; she and her mom provide me good advice on where to visit. They are really kind and friendly. Dolly is adorable.yufei2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

I enjoyed my stay at Colin's place, he and his wife were very accommodating. Breakfast was laid on every morning, the room was ideal for me in a very nice house set in a quiet but picturesque village. Perfect for someone who enjoys walks or cycling. I was there for golf and there are a number of courses in the area.Michael2016-07-30T00:00:00Z
Clara Vale is a very pretty old mining village (the pit is now a nature reserve with a bird hide) on the River Tyne. There are regular buses to Newcastle The train station is on the Newcastle - Carlisle line and is a miles walk along the river and only a slightly longer drive. Colin and Penny are friendly welcoming hosts, without being too intrusive. It was clean and the beds exceptionally comfortable.Jill2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

In addition, Wylam is a great base for exploring this historic area. In fact, there's a lovely walk that starts at the bottom of their garden.

I could not have had a warmer welcome from Judy and Neil when I arrived at their beautiful house. The accommodation was better than described and I really enjoyed our chats over cups of tea and a bottle of prosecco which I found in the fridge in my room. I very much appreciated having the kitchen put at my disposal so that I could make myself a simple supper as it was quite late when I arrived. Slept like a log in the really comfy bed.

Our stay at The Old Forge was fantastic! This beautifully presented cottage is spacious, light and extremely comfortable. It is well equiped with everything you could need. Debbie met us on arrival with the keys and offered any help should we need it. Wylam is well connected by public transport with trains going to Newcastle on a regular basis. Other connections to Hexham and Hadrians Wall can be reached with ease. Plenty to do in the area. Plenty of places to eat out in Wylam to suit all. We would highly recommend The Old Forge our only regret was not booking for longer.Jamie2015-08-07T00:00:00Z
We received a very warm welcome from Debbie's mam who I have known for over 60 years, it was lovely to see her and share memories of family and friends and Wylam news. We love this little cottage, it is ideal for us, comfortable and cosy and close to village amenities and the railway station. It was our second stay in 2016, this time we were visiting the area for a family party. I am sure that we will visit again in the future.Christine2016-10-31T00:00:00Z
Lovely place - both the house and the village. Debbie was super-helpful and we had a great time visiting Wylam. We'll be back, for sure.Wil2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
Debbie met us on arrival and after a brief introduction to the cottage left us to settle in. Everything in the cottage was in good condition with a very well equipped kitchen/bathroom. Friendy neighbours and despite no garden there was a park 2 minutes away for my grandchildren and a lovely safe walk to an old iron Bridge over the Tyne as well as into the countryside. Fab location for exploring area west of Newcastle and station within walking distance on Newcastle to Hexham line. Debbie gave us some flexibility on timing when leaving. We had a most enjoyable stay in what felt like home. Thank you Debbie for all the thought you put into making your cottage so comfortable.Alison2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Thank you Debbie for a lovely stay at the Old Forge. We had a lovely long weekend and couldn't have asked for better accommodation. The place was sparklingly clean and so well equipped.

Rae was a boss host who made sure everything and anything could be accommodated for me and 13 others. The house is a short taxi trip from the city center (clubs mainly) equipped with a full kitchen, multiple bedrooms, living room/lounge and everything you could need. Rae was in regular contact and brought us food both nights at his own will which was a great gesture, couldn't have done more to make sure we had a sick time. Will be using him in the future again.Harry2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
This is not newly refurbished. Various areas of concern including a smoke alarm that was broken with the wires hanging down from the ceiling, carpet not fixed on stairs and so very dangerous, broken chairs, broken bannister, no towels provided (we asked later and some were delivered). Cheap accommodation but nothing like the listing at allJonathan2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

It was in a decent location for everything we needed. I went away for my birthday with 11 others and we all had a good few nights. Taxis cost between 8-12 for 4 people to the town centre and asda is down the road. I wouldn't say everything accommodates for a large group - such as toilet situation.Joshua2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Emma & Matthew's house was perfect for our stay. We were travelling as a family with two girls for a family event & having a comfortable & clean home with individual bedrooms & a kitchen was so much better than us all sharing a hotel room. Easy drive into Newcastle itself & house is in a lovely village location. The children loved watching the starlings in the garden & the starry night sky was beautiful! House was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen & living/dining space was spacious enough for a family of four. Parking right outside the door & Matthew's parents were on hand to greet us & show us around. Didn't get much chance to explore what was available in the village but know there's shops etc nearby & not far to drive into Newcastle city centre or the Metro Centre. A great stay overall.Jennifer2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

Sara and Tim were incredibly welcoming. We stayed with them for one night as I was doing the Great North Run. They have a lovely home and it's a great base for accessing Hadrian's wall and the beautiful countryside that surrounds Heddon-on-the-wall. Their house provides stunning views of the countryside and the area has some excellent pubs. Sara and Tim were very helpful in advising us on the best places to eat (The Swan has a fantastic menu) and the best way to access the city for the run. Sara provided a great breakfast menu for us; she simply couldn't have done more to please us. If we're ever thinking of visiting the area again then we know exactly where to stay! Thank you, Sara and Tim!Emma2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Anna was delightful to chat to, and also respectful of my busy routine. Her cats are also very affectionate and adorable! They were a great stress reliever after a busy day. Anna made sure I had everything I needed and was comfortable for my stay. It was lovely to know that I had a friendly, chilled out space to go back to after long hours at work. Anna is on a quiet cul-de-sac so there is no through traffic and the area is very quiet and peaceful. Getting around is super easy as Anna's place is not far from the A1, it's pretty close to the metrocentre, and there is a small train station at the bottom of the hill. Overall I had a lovely time with Anna, and I only wish I wasn't working the whole time so I could have had more chance to explore a lovely part of the country. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to stay with Anna again.Heather2015-09-13T00:00:00Z
Clean room in a quite area.Karzan2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

Anna was very friendly and her house very warm and welcoming. It made the Newcastle stay very pleasant even if it was only for one night. Definitely recommending it.kyveli2015-09-29T00:00:00Z
Stayed with Anna 3 time now. Ideal room and ensuite, perfect for my requirements. Anna always friendly but lots of privacy. Recommended. Quite location.Nicola2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
The room has all you need, it's well kitted out with its own en suite. Comfy bed and nice touches, tea coffee etc. Anna was friendly and welcoming and it was a great experienceNeil2016-07-12T00:00:00Z
Second stay at Anna's home. Just as comfortable as the first. I had an unfortunate accident with a mug which I felt really upset about; Anna was very good about it and I am grateful for that. Many thanks again for a lovely, comfortable stay.Judy2016-02-27T00:00:00Z

Lovely Apartment in beautiful surroundings ! Will definately be backClair2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
Brilliant house, delighted with the whole experience and it was a great week! Couldn't have asked for moreAndy2017-04-07T00:00:00Z
Staying at The Old Stables was an absolute pleasure, was made to feel very welcome by Lorien when we arrived and the house itself was absolutely perfect as a base to explore the surrounding area with a shop and pub very close by. Also easily reachable from the train station. The house itself was absolutely perfect for 4 people, well stocked kitchen and the living room was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend and happily would stay again.Conor2015-07-10T00:00:00Z
A wonderful peaceful place to stay, lovely light filled kitchen diner! A much needed break away from the city. Mark very helpful and friendly, Great surrounding area for bike rides and great for bike storage.Jen2017-03-12T00:00:00Z
We booked this property after finding ourselves priced out of a week in the Lake District. We were not disappointed and had an enjoyable summer week using it as a base to exploit the area. We even managed to visit most of the village pubs and catch a train to Newcastle. We would definitely book againMark2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
The listing was very accurate and Mark and Lorien were excellent hosts. The key box system for access worked really well and all the information inside was extremely thorough and helpful. The Old Stables is a lovely conversion and very well equipped with everything one would need for a few days away The local area is blissfully quiet yet there is a small shop within just a minutes walk for essentials and we also made use of the local Chinese take away for a late night treat! Transport links are good, access to the city is only 10 minutes away by car, and this worked perfectly for us as we were settling our son into his University accommodation. We could have also made use of the train to go to Newcastle.Ruth2015-09-02T00:00:00Z

This converted garage is an ideal stop for walkers or anyone wanting a quick stop over on their way to their destination. It was warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean with tea and coffee facilities on hand after a long drive -lovely hot shower too - there's a great pub next door that serves meals and a petrol station and Hadrian's wall is just across the road - a great little find. The Host Mandy is lovely - very welcoming with nothing too much trouble - we would stay there again and highly recommend ! ThankyouSteve2016-08-26T00:00:00Z
Wonderful place. Very good communication. Lots of friendly locals if you have questions. Mandy was not there but made sure we were well taken care of. Hope to return.Dale2016-07-10T00:00:00Z
Hospitality and warm welcoming from the host was second to none. We had to cut our stay short due to us having a little one and it being unsuitable for us, but i definitely recommend for someone who is going to be outdoors most of the time and anyone who wants to get away.Vincent2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
It's a really nice stay at Mandy's place! The town is really beautiful too. Upon arrival, she told us so many information about the area and places to visit. We reach later than the said timing but she still welcome us warmly! Will definitely recommend her place to my friends and book her place again when we're there! :)Sophia2016-05-02T00:00:00Z

Mandy is a very kind and good host. We went there to hike along the hadrian's wall path and his room is perfect for this kind of journey. Pubs and a shop are very close and the house is on the walking path. She gave us a lot of information and we really appreciated.Fabio2016-07-13T00:00:00Z

Plains Unveil Florida Tour Dates for January
The great Plains.
Photo by Javier Sanchez
Miami's emerging indie darlings Plains, who released New Times Broward Palm Beach's favorite album of 2011, continues its victory lap with a four-date trek northward later this month. This could be the sort of practice run the guys need so that a lengthier tour can happen in March to coincide with SXSW. (Hint, hint.)
Anyhow, the quartet is exactly the sort of band you want to see live. Guitarist Jorge Gonzalez Graupera has some legendary poses at the ready, and singer Michael McGinnis brings his shimmering and generous vocals to the table. Bassist Max Johnston and drummer Jorge Rubiera are the thudding heart of the group's self-titled debut, which features songs that "beg to be looped endlessly," according to our own Jose Flores. Though it's unlikely that they'll take requests to hear "End of the World" four times in a row -- which is what we do in the car on the reg -- you could just get in your car and follow them around.
The jaunt begins with one of the most highly anticipated shows of the new year -- Plains and Jacuzzi Boys will open for Sebadoh at Grand Central in Miami on Wednesday, January 18. Then, things shift northward to Green Room in Fort Lauderdale on January 19, our friends in Tampa get a Saturday-night show at New World Brewery, and the voyage wraps at Orlando's Peacock Room.

This satin black latte mug is a second. This means that it has been discounted by 35% from the original price of the piece, $40.
**Please note that the item pictured is of the original, full-price, product & does not reflect the available second**
Each piece at Sheldon Ceramics is made by skilled hands. This process invariably creates pieces outside of our threshold for standard retail sales. These slightly less-than-perfect pieces come with a blemish or two, which adds to their unique personality. Each second is completely unique, with imperfections that range from uneven glazing to glaze pinholes to the piece being slightly off-round, or slumped. We assure you the pottery is still completely functional.
To purchase the satin black latte mug in ideal retail condition, click here.
We do not accept returns or exchanges on sales of seconds.
Our hand thrown, stoneware latte mugs are perfect for coffee or tea. Handmade and glazed by Peter using our custom-formulated glazes. All of our glaze recipes are made from scratch in our studio, using all natural materials, and fired to 2300 degrees, ensuring maximum durability.
3" tall x 5.25" diam
Each mug is fired twice. The final firing is a cone 10 high reduction atmosphere.
The final firing takes 24 hrs to reach the high temperatures necessary, requires precision and monitoring to ensure the kiln is heated evenly, and two days to cool. The high reduction firing also ensures each piece to be highly durable.
We prefer this firing technique with all of our ceramics to ensure our pieces can endure wear and tear, daily use, and avoid chipping. We want you to use and enjoy your pottery daily. It's made to last you a lifetime!

If Disaster Strikes, a Business Continuity Plan will Help Ensure a Company's Survival
Disasters such as hurricanes, floods, fires, computer hacking, data crashes, power outages, hazardous material spills, storms, tornadoes, theft and sinkholes are unpredictable and devastating. Many people put off thinking about disasters. But disasters happen.
Does your company have an emergency preparedness and business continuity plan in place to help employees respond to emergencies and get the business up and running again quickly? A simple plan will help prepare for the safety and survival of employees and business infrastructure to ensure that the company retains customers and continues to serve them despite power outages and economic hardship from disasters beyond our control.
According to statistics cited by FEMA, almost 40 percent of businesses that are forced to close after a disaster never reopen. Small businesses typically do not make the effort to invest in a simple business continuity plan, a decision that can make or break a company. Owners can protect their business by creating a simple plan themselves or by meeting with a disaster recovery consultant to help them get started.
The Florida MEP, (FLMEP) a non-profit organization tasked with helping manufacturers and business owners, now offers Disaster and Business Continuity Planning services. FLMEP disaster recovery experts will provide assistance to help owners and managers prioritize safety concerns, develop a business communications and emergency plan, identify and document key personnel, suppliers and processes, ensure access to essential materials, and safeguard critical assets and data.
The process will begin with a comprehensive assessment, which FLMEP is making available to businesses at no cost. Results of the assessment will determine which services will be beneficial. Once the business continuity plan is created, FLMEP experts will train staff in implementing procedures detailed in the plan and will also assist key suppliers in creating their business continuity plans and training of their personnel.
"We will help you get started on a business continuity plan to prepare your small business to avoid downtime after a disaster," said Jean Paul Aliaga, Disaster Recovery Expert with Florida MEP. "It is important for companies to prepare a business continuity plan BEFORE disaster strikes and to arrange for their key suppliers to have a plan as well. Florida MEP offers a free assessment to help companies get started on their disaster plans."
Florida MEP's Aliaga has more than ten years of experience in emergency preparedness. He served on a specialized disaster assessment team for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security closing disaster-related large projects valued in millions of dollars by working with cities, public entities, and businesses. Aliaga will provide numerous resources, tools and checklists to aid owners and managers in developing their own customized emergency
preparedness and business continuity plans.
For more information about Disaster and Business Continuity Planning, please call Florida MEP at321-939-4000for a no-cost assessment or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

To prepare, they actually painted the famous "Wrigley Field" sign PURPLE!! Ew. Now, I know Northwestern is technically located a lot closer to the ballpark than Illinois, but come on. There are a lot of Illini fans in Chicago! Never-the-less, the Wrigley sign, is purple today.
Here is the sign normally...
And now, the awful (but thankfully temporary) change.
Paula lives about two blocks from Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs!! She got to go to the game today and at about 4:00, I got this picture sent to me, via text...
Wow...Its packed!! I'm so jealous that she got to go!
The last time anyone played football at Wrigley, it was 1970, just before the Bears switched to Soldier Field. This is the first collegiate football game at Wrigley since 1938 when DePaul University used to play there. All in all, this is a pretty special day. Hopefully they won't wait another 70 years before playing another collegiate game and I will get to see one in person...hopefully.
Either way, it has been so much fun today watching my favorite Chicago attraction all over the TV. Its even better that Illinois will most likely win (its 41-24 right now!!). I will, however, be making sure to do a drive-by next time I'm in town to ensure that the trademark sign has changed back to the beautiful RED I know and love.
Maybe, just maybe, the Illini's win will turn the Cubs luck around...you never know...they're due for a winning season :).
FINAL SCORE: Illinois 48, Northwestern 27 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that makes us bowl eligible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About me
I am a very hard working person and love what I do, creating magazines, logos, brochures, advertising, wedding stationery or any of the work I do is such a joy and a pleasure. I have 2 children, a 5-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son who not only challenge me but inspire me too. My daughter loves to watch me design and always adds her input to what she sees on my screen. Running a business, a household and 2 kids doesn't allow for much free time but when I do have some spare time I like to be outdoors, going for a bike ride, a long walk on the beach or just playing with the kids at the park. I like to be up-to-date on all the latest design trends and software as to always have the cutting edge.

Avoiding Probate is a major consideration that people must consider when discussing the passing of assets from one generation to the next, particularly due to tax consequences and Liability issues.
Periodically, grown children of seniors will suggest that the parent add the children's names to the title on the parent's home. The idea is that the children would become joint tenants with the parent so that the home won't have to go through probate when the parent passes away.
Joint tenancy is a form of ownership of property that permits the surviving joint owner to receive the share of a deceased joint owner automatically.
For example, if a parent were to enter into a joint tenancy with her son, he would become the full owner of the property at the parent's death. Because the property passes automatically, the son would avoid having to take the home through probate, and would most likely save a great deal of money in probate fees. All the son would need to do is have an Affidavit of Death of Joint Tenant drafted and recorded with the County Recorder, and the title would be held solely in his name. However, it is good practice to avoid this kind of an arrangement, for several important reasons:
Tax Consequences: When two people buy property together as joint tenants, the amount of money they invest in the property is called their basis in the property. A property's basis is exempt from capital gains taxes at the time of sale. If somoene bought a home many years ago, that person's basis in the property might be quite low. In many areas, despite the recent downturn in the economy, a property that was purchased many years ago for 0,000 may easily be worth three times that today.
When a person receives property from a deceased person, the recipient usually gets to take what's called a step-up in basis. That means that the property's basis is raised to the fair market value at the date of death of the deceased person. If the recipient were to sell the property immediately upon receiving it, that person would not have to pay any capital gains taxes on the property. In effect, all the accumulated value in the house over the years would be received by that person tax-free.
When two parties enter into a joint tenancy, however, half of the benefits of the step-up in basis are lost. The survivor will receive the step-up in basis on your half of the property, but retains his basis (zero) in his original half. If the deceased joint tenant bought the home for 0,000, and the survivor sells it for 0,000, he will receive a step-up in basis of 0,000 (the decedent's original investment of 0,000 plus 0,000 for the decedent's half of the appreciation). The survivor may be able to take clear title to the home without problem, but when he goes to sell the home, he may find himself with a hefty capital gains tax bill. For people who own significantly appreciated property, a joint tenancy with their children is almost always not a good idea.
Liability Issues: Most people who put their children's names onto the title of their home do so with the intention of eventually passing that home to their children when they pass away. What many of these people fail to realize is that putting a child's name on the deed passes title to the property now. The new joint tenant would become an immediate co-owner of the home. This creates a great deal of risk, especially for older people who have paid off their homes and live on retirement income.
Suppose a senior puts her son on her home as a joint tenant, and two years from now the son gets in a car accident and is sued. The senior may find that her home becomes the central asset in a battle to collect a judgment against the son. The same problem can arise if the son loses his job and has to declare bankruptcy. His creditors would see that he is a half owner of the home, and might try to force a sale to recover their money. If the child owes back taxes to the government, then the house is an available asset. The same goes for child support and other obligations.
In short, a joint tenancy with children is not the safest or best way to pass property to the next generation of a family. Although it is probably the simplest and cheapest way to avoid probate, the hidden costs can be astronomical. For individuals and families who are seeking ways to avoid probate, it is generally advisable to set up a revocable trust. A trust permits a person to pass property to his or her children quickly and easily, without the hassle of probate and its attendant fees and time delays.
