Reviews for this vacation cottage rental in Humarock, Massachusetts

A great family vacation!
August 3, 2015
My family just finished a week at Humarock and stayed in this house. It was a great week! The size of the house was perfect for our family, and it was great to have the extra sleeping room on the porch upstairs for when we had guests stay over. We spent our days on the beach which was just steps away, and nights enjoying the back deck for cookouts on the grill. The outdoor shower is awesome! We definitely look forward to going back next Summer!

Love This Beach House!
June 1, 2015
My family and I have been renting this house for two weeks in July for the past two summers and we can't wait to come back! The house is always very clean when we arrive and we even enjoyed fresh flowers on the table. We love sitting on the front porch listening to the ocean and all the neighbors are very nice. The back deck is great for breakfast and evening appetizers. The beach is amazing! We set up our chairs in the morning and stay all day. The kids have fun walking to the corner store for ice cream or crossing the bridge for doughnuts in the morning. We really like the use of the garage for all our beach gear and there is plenty of parking for guests. The outdoor shower is very spacious and terrific for rinsing off sand. There are plenty of bedrooms and lots of space in the kitchen. We love that the table extends to fit our whole family. We always look forward to our Humarock vacations!

No Follow Through
April 28, 2015
I tried on numerous occasions to get an answer or reply on my request as the week was listed as open. My sister also emailed in the hope of getting a response as we really wanted to rent the week of August 15 thru 22nd 23015. She got no response as well. You need to get back to people even if the answer is no so that they can explore other options. Hope this helps your business We really wanted to rent this cottage as I own another property in Humarock and needed additional room for out of town guests.

Three blind mice !!
September 2, 2014
When we first got there, I noticed a mouse trap in the kitchen and mouse droppings on the kitchen counters. Got ahold of the owner and she was going to send someone over to remove the trap. What good would that have done. My husband ended up catching three mice in the traps. I wasn't happy about that at all. When he saw the first one in the trap, I emailed the owner right away, but never heard back from her. I thought we should have been compensated for that. Also, she said there was a deck with table and chairs, which there wasn't. She also wanted a lot of information from us, like where we worked, our license plate numbers, things like that which I thought was a little odd.

Disappointing to the lack of response
August 12, 2013
Unfortunately, the owner responded once to our phone call and sent us an email of pictures of the home, so when we responded that we wanted to rent for the week, she never responded back after multiple phone calls and emails. We were very disappointed as we were very excited to vacation again in Humarock. The owner should not post if she is not going to respond to people who want to rent her home. We really wanted to rent in July!!!

My husband and I stayed for a weekend and had a lovely time! Just one house from the beach, the property location is absolutely perfect! The section of beach by the house is very wide and spacious. The beach was never crowded and had nice mix of families and adult groups. The house was perfectly decorated and immaculately clean! When we walked in the door I couldn't even find one grain of sand! The 3 season porch was one of my favorite places because of the fantastic ocean view. There is a perfect breeze that comes through and you can hear the crash of the waves. The back deck and outdoor shower complete this great beach cottage. I'll definitely come back! Humarock beach is prefect for a quick getaway from the city.

Our stay at Susan's place was about one week. It was a very pleasant stay. We felt like home. It was clean, a very friendly Family, any time ready to help and very good connections by busses and trams. We are sure, next time visiting London, we will definately prefer Susan's place. Thank you!
Susan was really nice and the room was comfortable. I recommend it to all who search for a place near the city - many Buses and a short way to supermarkets.
Susan war eine sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, die ich jederzeit weiterempfehle! Das Zimmer entsprach voll meinen Erwartungen, das Preis-/Leistungs-Verhältnis ist sehr gut. Ich weiß, wo ich bei meinem nächsten London-Urlaub unterkommen kann!
Sitio tranquilo para descansar, muy lejos del centro, habitación bien, la ducha estaba estropeada y nos duchamos en el baño de la casa por lo demás bien.
Wir fühlten uns sehr Wohl und konnten die Zeit sehr geniessen. Wir würden das zu Hause von Susanne weiterempfehlen und haben nichts zu beanstanden!!
La casa si trova in zona 4 ma nonostante la lontananza è comoda e servita di tutti i mezzi necessari. A poche fermate di autobus si trovano tante attività commerciali tra le quali supermercati, farmacie, fast food ecc.
Susan è molto simpatica, cordiale e ospitale e offre una sistemazione molto economica.

I have a custom field set up as a multi-select with checkbox and the output filter is "Array (to_array)". However, when I use get_post_meta I end up with a string. For example, I have people check off days of the week.
This is how I get the field in my loop:
`$days = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'days', 0);
When I print it out, I get this, which is an array of 1:
Array ( [0] => ["Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"] )
Is there any way to fix this without doing a bunch of str_replace and explode?

Manic keyboard and amazing vocals, Kit Richardson is Kate Bush meets Kate Nash. Her live performance is all banging keys, break downs and hip-hop covers. "Kit Richardson begins singing, and my jaw drops. She stretches, trips and cartwheels her words and vowels which seem choreographed to pogo along with the music. The songs are certainly jaunty, but feel almost subterranean in depth...Bewilderingly diverse pop songs...Amazing." – ARTROCKER.

aviary ; apiary
An aviary is a place for captive birds; an apiary is a place for bees and beehives. The words derive from the Latin terms avis (= bird) and apis (= bee). Aviary has been the victim of slipshod extension in the sense insectarium (= a place for keeping and breeding insects)—e.g.:
"Renaker is donating land and building materials to construct an aviary [read insectarium] where the insects will be bred and studied."
Terry Rodgers, "Beauties and the Base," San Diego Union-Trib., 12 Dec. 1991, at A1 (referring to butterflies).
"The Insectarium features thousands of living and mounted insects from all over the world, a butterfly aviary [read, perhaps, lepidoptarium or butterfly tent], a working hive of bees and hands-on games."
Allen Bradford, "Montreal Spices Birthday Fest with Charm and French Flavor," Wash. Times, 4 Oct. 1992, at E1.

Sentiment: Strong Sell
Well if you say, I think it probably heads to 70 tomorrow.
Rim, Did not know you were in LULU, are you placing your movement tomorrow on short covering or do you expect management to get support for the manner in which they handled this shortage of pants. My issue with LULU management now is why have they waited so long to report their earnings? I do not like that kind of behavior. Gives the feeling that something is making it difficult for the CEO to announce earnings. Like hoping more info on the current quarter will help her forecase or explain guidance. .
Down 4.25 in AH's??? Someone leaked the earnings already?
Yes the company did. Didn't you read about the see through pants as an excuse for their miss?
because they need to give time to WS crooks to unload

I am really hoping someone can help me...
I am using woocommerce with wootique theme.
I have products with various product categories, and I added the
"WooCommerce Product Categories" widget to the right sidebar. (The site is in spanish, and the widget is titled "Guia de Productos").
The problem is that for some reason the links are not generating correctly in the widget.
If you select a product category from the dropdown menu (TIENDA Online > Paseo) it takes you to the correct place: FOR EXAMPLE:
However, if you use the dropdownmenu on the right, to go the same category, it directs you to:
Notice that what should be "categoría-producto" changes to "categora-producto".
And I have no idea why or where that can be fixed!

ASU's new Sparky design scrapped after criticism
Want to make your opinion heard or just chat about college baseball? This is your place.

The Republic | azcentral.com Wed Mar 20, 2013 12:17 AM
The new Sparky is out already. Instead, Arizona State University's costumed mascot will get a Mr. Potato Head-style makeover.
An online program is being developed to allow fans to choose features for the new Sparky head and face. They will be able to pick from a variety of eyes, face shapes, mustaches and goatees. They will get to select maroon or black horns.
Then, they can see how the individual features mesh — just like kids have done for generations with the popular toy.
ASU plans to tally the votes and reveal the winning costume at the first football game of the season on Sept. 5.
The decision to scrap the new costumed mascot and use an online vote instead comes less than a month after ASU unveiled a modern version of Sparky. The backlash began immediately over the bulging eyes and beefed-up muscles. Some compared him to the Honey Nut Cheerios bee crossed with Buzz Lightyear.
Students and alumni unleashed a stream of criticism on Facebook, Twitter and through e-mails to ASU administrators. Two Facebook pages, a student-generated YouTube video and an online petition surfaced, demanding that ASU get rid of the new Sparky that was designed in partnership with Walt Disney Co. Some alumni threatened to stop donating to the university.
On Tuesday, ASU announced plans for the online vote.
Will the existing Sparky, beloved by fans, as well as the new one scrapped by the university be part of the online vote?
ASU officials say all the features offered for the vote will be "consistent with Sparky's identity." They said they are still working on the options and should have more information next week.
Students were glad they will have a say in what their mascot looks like.
Mark Naufel, undergraduate student-body president at the Tempe campus, said people were freaked out by the drastic makeover. He isn't opposed to a few changes to the old Sparky.
"His face and outfit might need a little updating," he said. "A lot of people say it looks like he is wearing pajamas."
Earlier this month, ASU's Undergraduate Student Government passed a resolution seeking to ban the new costumed mascot from sporting events. The criticism reached such a level that ASU President Michael Crow directed a high-ranking university official to meet with student leaders.
Naufel said he was part of a telephone conference over spring break in which ASU officials admitted they hadn't used the best process and should have involved student leaders.
In response to criticism over the redesign, officials say Sparky is one of the best-loved college mascots. They're proud people are passionate about him.
"We have listened, and now, we want to give members of the Sun Devil nation the opportunity to provide their input on some of the costume's features," Rocky Harris, senior associate athletic director for external relations, said in a statement Tuesday.
The official image of Sparky, the iconic 1946 drawing, will not change and will continue to be available on ASU merchandise. A contemporary Sparky, unveiled along with the new costumed mascot earlier this month, will also be offered as part of a marketing effort aimed at children.
Fans will now get a say, though, in the costumed mascot that appears at sports and community events.
ASU officials say the Sparky redesign didn't cost the university any money. ASU already has a partnership with Disney in which students give input on new product designs.

The "new" Sparky (why they would call him that) gave me the creeps. Looked more like Spanky the Demonic Child Molester to me. Glad they have s#1tcanned him.
Well... at OSU, we are no stranger to change. We are just forgetful of it.
We used an OAC logo from the late 1890s until the early 1900s, when we changed to a new OAC logo. We then used an updated OAC logo until around 1926 when our acronym changed from OAC to OSAC, at which point OAC and OSC both were colloquially used. After we changed from SAC to OAC in the late 1890s (ok, only officially in the early 1900s), we also adopted the "Bock O." Our track team (a regional powerhouse), instead of OAC, had an "A" with wings. Flying Aggies!
At this point we were the Aggies, but by 1908 we began a very slow transition to also unofficially be the Beavers, not fully used until the late 1920s. During this time, our mascots were a coyote and a minister, while the wrestling team also unofficially included a bulldog, and later a smaller breed instead. In the early 1920s, we had our first live Beaver, "Bevo," but he was stolen for his fir, as well as a 700 lb. bronze statue of a beaver.
In the early 1930s, some students rescued Billy Beaver, a small pup, from an eddy in the St. Mary's river. While Billy died a couple years later, he inspired Beaver caricatures. At this time, formally OSC, we only used the Block O logo, but Billy Beaver's caricature was EVERYWHERE in school literature.
In 1945ish, Benny Beaver made his debut in the form of a plaster of paris replica of the 1920s statue. In 1951, Arthur C. Evans, former Disney artist, make the classic Benny Beaver logo, and in 1952, Benny appeared for the first time in costume.
Strictly speaking of live mascots, the Benny costume got complete makeovers in 1957, early 1960s, 1974 (with some subsequent tweaks), early-mid 1980s, 1999, 2000, and 2003-2006ish (can't remember when the current one debuted.)
In 1998, a shop in Albany make the "Angry Beaver" (Florida Beaver's avatar), and silently also released "Classic Benny" (my avatar), in which they took Evans' 1951 logo and put it into the 1998 logo's feel and style. In 2007? the Morrow Group debuted the OS. In 2013, Nike released the current logos.
So anyways, my point is that logos and mascots are not steadfast and changeless. At OSU, it took us 52 years after the dawn of athletics to even create Benny, and 59 years before he was in a costume. He has had 7 vastly different looks and numerous tweaks. You would not recognize at least half of them, if not more, when I get the impression most fans think the chubby Benny is the only one we've ever had, except for maybe the first one. As for logos, the letter logo has seen 4 major changes.
As for the all-sacred Beaver logo, it was not even created for our first 58 years with athletics, and the current logo (my avatar) that many fans wish we would use was only created in 1998.
When you step back and look at the bigger picture, the only real tradition is that we have change, change that is, in almost every single situation, unpopular for the first few years. Did you know when the first Benny costume came out, the Barometer asked what clown was ruining the university's reputation? The Barometer hated the idea! I repeat: the only TRUE tradition is that traditions that don't remake themselves have always had a short shelf-life.
All that said, I think it is incredibly awesome what they are doing at ASU to fix this problem. Besides getting rid of the creepy anime eyes, it is great how they are using fan feedback in technology previous unavailable.

Nonplussed: Study Says Even Full-figured Models Damage Self-esteem
International research finds that plus-size models do not benefit plus-size women.
Damned if you do … According to a new study conducted by a team of researchers from the U.S., Germany, and the Netherlands and published in the Journal of Consumer Research, magazine photos of models, be they magically emaciated or plus-size, make overweight women feel worse about their bodies and, conversely, "underweight" women feel better about themselves. So unfair, right? A serious blow to the growing interest in "plus-size" or "full-figure" spreads, the study suggests that redefining standards of shape across the editorial and commercial side of print fashion won't be some sort of panacea for the already fragmented self-esteem of women who fall outside of our modern understanding of beauty. "Overweight women's self-esteem always decreases, regardless of the model they look at," says the study, implying that it's not the particular image someone looks at that's damaging, but rather the presentation of beauty, in any form, that troubles many readers. Anna North over at Jezebel breaks it down for us: "The fact is, images whose purpose is to sell women shit — whether those images look more or less like them — are probably never going to be on the forefront of social change. Including plus-size women in ads and fashion spreads is an important step not just for social good, but for aesthetic value — magazines would be more interesting if they contained a greater diversity of models." The takeaway? Crystal Renn and all the size 12 sweethearts in the world aren't going to make you feel any better if you don't already maintain a healthy distance between the fun and fantasy of fashion imagery and the real, live girl you see in the mirror.

JPEG or RAW/NEF
I have always shot in JPEG mode on my D70, but am considering NEF now that I have been playing around with my D7000 and all the settings.
What do most of you use ? I almost always do some tweaking in PSE9 so would all NEF/RAW be the way to go ?

Two points:
Every single time you save a JPEG, you lose some quality. It may be undiscernable at first, but it happens. With NEF/RAW, you lose nothing. So you can edit and re-edit to your heart's content, then save to JPEG.
IF you're going to shoot NEF's keep in mind that ONLY View NX2 and Capture NX2 directly convert the settings from your D7000.
If I'm just hacking around at a party, I might shoot JPEG's, but for anything remotely serious, I only shoot NEF/RAW.
#2. "RE: JPEG or RAW/NEF" | In response to Reply # 0gkaiseril Nikonian since 28th Oct 2005Fri 28-Jan-11 07:13 PM
NEFs are like the old photographic negative, you fully modify the image and develop the image for printing or as another format. The NEF is a Tiff image with each sensor pixel's value record with only the Long Exposure Noise Reduction being applied to the data. All other camera settings are recorded as part of the MakerNote in the EXIF data of the image. The NEF will have either a 12 bit or 16 bit color depth depending upon the bit depth set by the camera.
A Jpeg is like a print, the cameras sensor data has been applied or developed into the pixels of the sensor. This limits the amount of modification that can be applied to the Jpeg. As noted, with certain compression options, one can lose the subtle color hues.
The camera setting recorded within the NEF are only processed by Nikon View NX 2 and Nikon Capture NX 2, all other editors ignore this data. Nikon Capture NX 2 can also save the edits performed in Capture NX 2 as a NEF. These edits are saved as additional data within the MakerNote like the in camera settings, and these changes can easily be reversed as can the in camera settings. The results of edits in Capture NX 2 will only be recognized by other programs if the edited image is either transferred as a Tiff with either 8 or 16 bit color depth or an 8 bit Jpeg.
The NEF file, like all RAW files, is a format unique to Nikon and Nikon may change some the internal format to their specifications. RAW formats generally do not have a publicly available format description. The only exception is Adobe's DNG format, for which Adobe has made the description of the the file a public document. This is also why it is important to keep any software up to date because as each new camera model is introduced, the RAW file type identification and processing has to be added to the software.

I just downloaded the plug in from Adobe for RAW processing and it did show the D7000 on the list of cameras it works with. Does this still not give the same handling of the image as does the Nikon software ?
I have been using PS for quite a while and am very familiar with its functions and would prefer not to switch. However I also dont want to be loosing a significant amount of capabilities.

Only Nikon's software reads 100% of the data in the NEF file. Most/all other raw converters read the raw image data and only the white balance setting (ignoring the sharpening, contrast, saturation, etc.). Canon raw files are handled the same way.
For most of the third party raw converters, there is a set of default settings for each camera that get applied for the ignored settings. Often you can change these defaults, but changing them does not necessarily help beyond a given batch of photos.
Since everyone's raw converters allow you to change the settings for each photo, the difference is in what the initial view of the picture is. Nikon's initial view applies all the settings that would have been baked into the JPG while everyone else does not give that specific view.

I shoot RAW only and use Nikon Capture NX-2, Adobe PSE-9, CS-3 and Lightroom 3 and various plug-ins (NIK and Topaz bumdles) for PSE and Lightroom. Do I need all these programs ? No. But over the years I treated my self to new SW and love them all. To be honest I use CS-3 the least as PS Elements will do 95-98 % of what I need to do. I am starting to use NX so much more often then in the past. I like what it does. Lightroom has an extremely easy/intuitive user interface and I use that a lot also.

Hello Kevin,
Welcome to the community. As others have said, there are many reasons to use RAW. If you use ViewNX2, there is a button in the top right section that let's you "convert files" to JPEG or TIFF. This option let's you change the size, etc. so it becomes very easy to download to the forum or gallery or send emails. By shooting RAW, you can convert the frame, or frames, to either of the above and still retain your original data.
Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. <><

As a relative Newbie here is a brief summary of the general consensus I have seen when I researched a similar question.
Raw Files are bigger, higher potential quality, easier to adjust for white balance and contrast.
JPG are smaller, start at the highest quality they can ever achieve, and are more difficult to adjust via computer post processing. But are the simplest and quickest to deal with.
If you just want to take pictures and have the pictures look like they do on the LCD display on the back of the camera shoot jpg. If you just want the picture quick and don't want to deal with 2 - 3 steps of post processing before printing/posting your pictures shoot JPG. If you want your camera to shoot long strings of multiple frames per second, shoot jpg.
If you are comfortable using computers and don't mind a little extra batch work when getting the pictures from the cameram then raw files contain the most information which leaves you the most options to adjust white balance, exposure, color balance, sharpness, delighting, etc. All of the camera adjustments for sharpness, contrast, color balance, etc are applied when viewed on the computer as a starting point, but all the original data from the camera sensor is still there so if you want to apply different sets of processing you go back to the original data which gives you a better result than adjusting the previously adjusted file. Sort of like the loss of quality when copying a copy vs making another copy from the original.
I shoot raw most of the time because with View NX it is only a couple of clicks to download, accept the default settings and convert to jpg if I don't feel like doing the extra work, but since I have the original file if I ever do need to adjust something I have the option.

...if you use Nikon's View NX or Capture NX to convert the NEF's. Other software ignores the in-camera settings apart from White Balance.

I used to shoot weddings and due to the fast pace and changing light conditions, always shot RAW as I couldn't afford to have white balance I couldn't adjust. Once I gave the weddings up, up I have mostly shot JPG. Lots of my work is outdoors and auto white balance usually works good outdoors. I also watch my histogram so I am pretty sure I've got a decent exposure.
Now I am planning a trip to Italy. This is my dream of a trip for photography and I am thinking I am going to shoot RAW; however, my D7000 files seem to be about 20MB per picture. I expect to shoot at least 1000 images, maybe 2000 images. If my math is right, that is between 40GB and 80GB. Aside from the cost of having enough cards, that is a lot of disk space (all my images reside on three drives plus a cloud backup service). Processing them is also slower (despite a MacPro with dual quad-core processors, sometimes it still seems slow when editing 20MB files). Then there is the post-process. If I shoot NEF files, I am almost compelled to do a lot of work. In JPG, I am less apt to do significant post-work.
On the other hand, for Italy, it would be my intention to take many, many, pictures. But the fact of the matter is that I can only get an audience to sit through a slide show of about 100 pictures max. So if I select my pictures wisely and only edit the final 100, the time isn't so great. So then it is only a matter of storage.
At the end of the day, I think I'll shoot RAW as I could never live with myself if I skimped on that picture of the Colliseum, or Vatican City, or the Forum, etc., and then found out it needed adjustments I couldn't pull off on a JPG. The NEF is my lowest risk alternative.
But for my typical family shots, kids soccer games, the local zoo, etc., I'm going to stay with JPG. It really doesn't seem to be a problem.
#11. "RE: JPEG or RAW/NEF" | In response to Reply # 10Mon 07-Feb-11 06:45 PM
After lots of pics with the new camera body, upgrade from D70, I am sold on RAW. I like to tweak anyway, and am finding much more depth to the NEF pictures that I have been taking.
Thanks for all the input,

They said if I sent back the old bulb they would credit my account back for 196.00 for the cost of the new bulb.I did so but then they said the bulb was only warrantied for 90 days.
Two months later the same problem happened.
Sears came out.They said it was not the bulb,but a light engine,that would cost 1200.00 if they carried that part,which they don't.

Fresh Market, Ulta Coming to LexingtonPosted by: | Comments
Lexington's Planning Commission members approved a site plan Wednesday for another new commercial center that is expected to bring development to one of the last remaining parcels fronting Sunset Boulevard.
The Lever and Outlaw families have sold their land on the 5300 block on Sunset Boulevard, and Columbia Development is planning to bring a long-awaited Fresh Market to Lexington.
Developers have plans to build on 18 of the 24 acres, which will create 143,000 square feet of commercial space in four separate buildings. Access will be from Palmetto Park Boulevard and Saluda Springs Road, and Palmetto Park Boulevard will become a four-legged intersection when the entrance to the development is built.
Jenkins Williamson of Columbia Development said Fresh Market officials have been wanting to bring a location to Lexington for several years, but it was difficult to find land with access to a traffic signal that also is close to S.C. Highway 6.

Lexington's Corley Mill Site to be Theater SitePosted by: | Comments
A developer plans to start work this spring on turning a former sawmill in Lexington into a major retail center with a residential arm. The project, on U.S. 378 two miles west of I-20, is among the biggest developments ever in the steadily growing town of 18,000 residents and perimeter around it.
"It's a sea change for our community and for the center of Lexington County," said Randy Halfacre, the town's mayor and president of the Greater Lexington Chamber of Commerce.
Transformation of the 70-acre sawmill site, once a local landmark, will occur in stages, developer Tony Berry of Rock Hill said.
A long-awaited multi-screen cinema and 234-apartment complex are "both a definite," but plans for about 16 stores and restaurants are unsettled, he said.
Corley Lumber Mill Retail Site SoldPosted by: | Comments
Florence-based specialty retailer Tomlinson Stores plans to build a 20,000-square-foot store on a section of the former Corley Lumber Mill site that's slated for development as a mixed-use commercial project, according to NAI Avant.
Tomlinson, which operates nine stores in the Carolinas, bought a 2.71-acre section of a 70-acre development site in the 4800 block of Sunset Boulevard on the east side of the town of Lexington.
The Tomlinson store is part of the first phase in the mixed-use project that won earlier approval from the Lexington Town Council. Plans call for a commercial center containing about 236,000 square feet of retail and office space as well as 10 additional outparcels.
Besides retail, a multiple-screen theater and a multifamily apartment complex consisting of 250 to 300 units are planned for the property, said Ben Kelly, NAI Avant senior broker. Kelly along with NAI Avant broker Patrick Chambers represented the sellers in the transaction.
Lexington to Get Hobby Lobby Store?Posted by: | Comments
The project is in the early stages, but a new Hobby Lobby could be on its way to Lexington.
Company officials have not made any official announcement but have submitted a site plan. John Hanson, director of planning, building and technology for the town of Lexington, said the project has received approval by the town's Planning Commission. Building plans, stormwater plans and architectural plans have not yet been submitted.
The Planning Commission approved the site plan on April 23.
Hobby Lobby media representative Ashley Wilemon said the company doesn't typically announce a new location until a lease is signed. She added that stores bring an average of 30 to 50 jobs.
Senior Living Community Planned for LexingtonPosted by: | Comments
A large senior-living community is on its way to the town of Lexington.
Lexington-based Connelly Builders Inc. and Connelly Development LLC plan to bring a 48-unit apartment complex to the area. Kevin Connelly, president of Connelly Builders and manager and sole member of Connelly Development, said the community will address the town's growing senior population.
"The market study shows a tremendous need," he said.
In total, the development will cover approximately 68,000 square feet with its primary entrance off of Northwood Road. Connelly said Intermark Management will oversee daily operations of the apartments for residents 55 and older once it's completed.
The Connelly family of businesses previously built and developed senior living communities in Greer and Manning as well as North Carolina. Connelly said taking on a project in Lexington seemed ideal.

Transformation of the 70-acre sawmill site, once a local landmark, will occur in stages, developer Tony Berry of Rock Hill said. A long-awaited multi-screen cinema and 234-apartment complex are "both a definite," but plans for about 16 stores and restaurants are unsettled, he said.

Editorial: Keeping property tax funds local will ease pain
Published 31/03/2014 | 02:30
Another threatening property tax deadline looms and yet again the public response is to rush at the 11th hour and pay up. The Revenue Commissioners had an impressive in rush of funds in recent days. Two thousand householders have stumped up a massive €4m in the past few days and by another yardstick one 48-hour period brought in €6m.
Nine out of 10 of us are paying up – if not looking entirely happy. The Revenue believe the compliance rate for 2013 property tax is 93pc, while they estimate compliance for 2014 around 88pc.
These are impressive results with which it is very hard to quarrel. Nobody likes new taxes, and this one has come with other charges at a time when most people are feeling the pinch.
The people of middle Ireland have gritted their teeth and paid. The unloved Revenue Commissioners are entitled to some respect.
It is a help in accepting taxation to know that everyone is being treated equally. We do not have to go back too far to find tolerance for dodgers and non-payers who were later facilitated with amnesties and deals to clear up their affairs.
But while the Revenue appears to be doing their work, there are other questions about the local property tax – especially about just how 'local' it really is. Promises that 80pc of it would go to local councils were put on hold last year as the money went to Irish Water, the source of other upcoming charges.
We trust that this 80pc promise will be fulfilled this year and in future years. Many of us will note that this new tax also comes at a time when councils are withdrawing from local services. Councils no longer do bin collections and their offices have ceased to be the point of delivery for car tax and driving licences.
We trust that this trend does not continue and that this local tax can be seen to enhance local services for local communities.

Cringing at the thought of furthering your credit debt, and since you have barely any income as it is, you grab the resourceful employment guide. Which by the way ironically states is not responsible for fraudulent companies/advertisments. Makes you wonder huh?
So, while glancing for something to fit you the student, your are fixed upon a box bigger than the rest, discovering not only you'll bank 500-1000 dollars a week, but, they are "accepting students".
Luckily (...right) the company books an interview that afternoon, and despite arriving 45 minutes late to an office that doesn't even have a sign on the door naming the company) they take you, say your their "last" interviewee of the day and that night, recieve great first impressions (though you haven;t spoken more than five consecutive words), decisions are made, and they say they'll call you back that night to let you know if you can come back for a "second interview". While driving home, thinking of the call-back you may recieve, you have no clue what the company really does-except that it involves "print-promotion-advertising". Should you go for it? Or look for help?

Notes from Day 2 of Full Squad
Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras will not be participating in the WBC, they didn't even know they were on the provisional rosters. Damaso Marte won't be running for at least the rest of the week due to his stiff hamstrings, this probably means he too will be out of the WBC. Derek Jeter, Joe Girardi, Bernie Williams, Mark Teixera, CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Arod all met with George Steinbrenner who was in his house today. They all said they had pleasant conversations with him, I wish we could find out what was said. He was transferred from a golf cart to a wheelchair and then wheeled up to his office. Alex Rodriguez commented on his first two days saying the fans have been welcoming and that he is enjoying himself on the field. Bernie Williams immediate goal is to not embarass himself in the WBC but if it goes well he may try to come back to the majors. He is taking part in all of the regular drills with the team. CC Sabathia was pleased with how he was throwing today. Nick Swisher has a nice range of music he likes to put on in the clubhouse. I thank Peter Abraham of the Journal News and http://yankees.lhblogs.com for having this information available on his great blog.

If Bernie does very well in the WBC, would the Yankees take him back? Or would he have to find another team to play for?ReplyDelete
That is a good question, I don't expect him to do anything great, he is more of a backup and I expect this will be him going out on his own terms but we shall see.ReplyDelete

Sound Horizon's 7th Story 「Marchen」December 15, 2010 at 10:38 pm | Posted in Music, Sound Horizon | 5 Comments
No, this is not a post about the songs in Sound Horizon's newest 7th Story 「Marchen」. This is just a post for me to gloat about my copy of the 7th Story 「Marchen」 (Limited Edition) that I have.
The CD came in this nice-looking box cover. Just like all other Sanhora releases, there are more females than males on the cover and in the album. Revo-sama's harem indeed.😄
The contents of the box open up like a dice (see photo on left), except that there is one extra side. Pictures offer a hint as to what the story is, but I still have no idea, and am eagerly awaiting the DVD for the 7th Story 「Marchen」 concert to be out. The lyrics are actually contained in that little book within the box, and a very old-fashion looking yet lovely book it is. One of the stories seem to depict the tale of Snow White, especially with the dwarves and mirror and witch and all.
This leaflet's only purpose is to break my heart. Next.
These little cards come as the first press bonus of my CD. I wonder if each customer gets a different set of cards, otherwise, it doesn't look like a person can ever complete the set.
With regards to the songs, overall, I'm still loving the album, BUT I WISH I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!!!! Sigh. I have no one but my laziness in learning Japanese to blame.

I think this post it's a little old but, all I have to say (imagining you already read the translated lyrics) is: yes I'm very very very very anxious to the DVD so we can understand all story's peculiarities. (Revo-dono has a great voice… – How can someone compose, arrange musics and sing so well… O.O) Snow White's story it's hilarious… sure (by the way… did you notice it seems the same prince that appears on sleeping beauty's story^^… he's not lucky after all)
[Forgive my misspell!! I'm not native]
Comment by Aniih Detsu— December 26, 2010 #
I know one who had completed the set of cards.😄
He (or she) as responsible in translating most of Märchen's songs. Indeed, you're so lucky you get that box, even I don't have anything and just to listen to youtube the songs of Märchen.
Indeed, both prince from Snow White and Sleeping Beauty has one vocal.
Comment by Reanze— March 22, 2011 #
Actually the box doesn't open like a dice, it opens in the shape of the kanji for "seven" because of this being the 7th story. Yeah. I didn't realise either until I saw some people talk about it online.

A small 12.4g plastic ball is tied to a very light29.3 cm string that is attached to the vertical wall of aroom. A uniform horizontal electric field exists in thisroom. When the ball has been given an excess charge of-1.10 μc, you observe that it remains suspended, with thestring making an angle of 17.40 with the wall.
The question asks to find the electric field in the room inN/C. I thought to use the equation
Electric field= K(constant)q/ R (radius)
where K=8.99x109
q= 1.10x 10-6
and r=.293sin (17.40)
I can't get the right answer or think of another way toapproach the problem

this is not as good as it looks in picture. this is the container to be filled with water in it. recently i received the item which is leaking and water comes out from it's bottom as soon as it is filled . it frustrated me a lot i think there is no pre dispatch inspection is being practised by snapdeal. i feel my self as a duped customer of snapdeal.
Simple, classic design and you can't go wrong with that. Too soon to say if the paint lasta and the metal doesn't rust. So far so good.
Its very pretty and convenient for my little veranda garden. looks nice so i don't need to hide it or store it away in some other place. just got it so only time will tell how long the metal of the can will last... but as of now am happy with this buy.
Not as expected. the first time i am not satisfied with my purchase in snapdeal. it was ok. the product was with few slight damages and a small hole at the bottom resulting in constant pouring of water when it is filled. however, the product is innovative, cool and loved by the person i gifted.
The product i recieved had some dents but i can still use it. Product is sturdy as well
Lovely watering can...a must have!
It is very very pretty, especially the color. Very trendy and it makes my garden look very attractive. It is not huge so I can hold it easily. Looks durable, lets see how long it works. I put it in my veranda and people just watch it with appreciation. Good job snapdeal, I love your products.

In Baltimore, the ashes have cooled; the curfew has ended; the National Guardsmen have left; and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have gone home. But the apparent normalcy is misleading. For the orgy of looting, vandalism and arson last week following the death of a black petty criminal, Freddie Gray, may return with a vengeance if the six arrested local police officers, three white and three black, are not convicted. Gray died on April 19 of spinal injuries sustained a week earlier while in custody. Last Friday, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced arrests for one count of second-degree murder and several counts of manslaughter, assault and misconduct. Yet treating this case as a homicide, racially motivated or not, isn't just premature. It's also a capitulation to mob rule.
As the nation awaits a decision from a grand jury Ferguson, Mo. about whether they will charge a police officer for shooting and killing black teenager Michael Brown, the new leader of the Congressional Black Caucus has already publicly stated that anything but indictment will not represent justice.
The comments (audio) came as Congressman G.K. Butterfield, a North Carolina Democrat, assumed the chairmanship of the CBC last week. He expressed his concern in an interview with WUNC in Chapel Hill, a NPR affiliate, when asked about the problem of civil unrest in "places like Ferguson" and what he thought his role was in "moving conversations forward" with regard to race relations.
Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), the second Muslim to serve in Congress, has created an enormous controversy by following Rep. Maxine Waters' (D-CA) lead and lashing out at the Tea Party and its supporters in Congress.
Carson told a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and some of its supporters last week in Miami that, "some of them in Congress right now, of this Tea Party, would love to see you and me...hanging on a tree." He also stated that some members of Congress would like to see blacks as second-class citizens.
A flurry of documents publicized this week appears to show further corruption within the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's scholarship program.
Letters written by CBC member Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) and released by her GOP election opponent this week suggest that the congresswoman was more intimately involved with steering $31,000 in CBC scholarships to family members and associates than she previously admitted. The two letters, sent by Rep. Johnson to the CBC Foundation, ask that the organization send the scholarship money directly to her two grandsons and two grand-nephews instead of to their colleges.
Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ), Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), issued a statement yesterday in response to the controversy swirling around the awarding of 23 scholarships by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) to relatives and associates. The statement read, in part:
Neither the Foundation nor the CBC will allow unethical behavior in the awarding of scholarships or any programs that are designed to benefit the community.
Neither the Foundation nor the CBC will allow unethical behavior in the awarding of scholarships or any programs that are designed to benefit the community.
I will not allow the absence of integrity to invade the Foundation nor the scholarship program…
I will not allow the absence of integrity to invade the Foundation nor the scholarship program…
Payne had nothing to say about his participation in a 2008 Caribbean junket that he knew was funded by big companies like Citigroup in violation of House Rules.
Congressional Black Caucus member Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) has admitted to steering 23 scholarships worth over $25,000 to two grandchildren, two great nephews and the children of a top aide over the past four years.The scholarships came from a non-profit affiliate of the CBC called the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which Rep. Johnson sat on the board of from 2005 to 2008. The Texas congresswoman's family members and aides' children were considered ineligible for the scholarships under the foundation's anti-nepotism rules.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has signified that she's open to reigning in the power of an independent congressional ethics board, even though she urged the creation of the board in 2008, reported The Hill.
Two years ago, House Speaker Pelosi strongly backed the establishment of the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), a bipartisan board made up of private citizens, saying that it would "bring an additional measure of transparency to the ethics enforcement process." But at a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus – a group which wants to "reform" the OCE – Pelosi and House Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), in photo, reportedly indicated that they were willing to reconsider changing some of the OCE's rules.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have asked the House to curtail the power of a congressional ethics board, after multiple members of the caucus have come under investigation by the board over the past year.
Rep. Marcia L. Fudge (D-OH) introduced legislation at the end of May, which was co-sponsored by 19 other members of the Congressional Black Caucus. The bill would restrict the Office of Congressional Ethics -- which is a bipartisan board staffed solely with private citizens -- from releasing the results of its investigations in cases that the House Ethics Committee decides have no merit. The OCE would also be barred from initiating investigations of its own, and would instead have to wait for a complaint to be filed by a citizen with intimate knowledge of the alleged malfeasance.
Steven T. Dennis of CQ-Roll Call interviewed former House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) last week and reports:
The veteran New York Democrat still wants his Ways and Means chairmanship back, but he doesn't want reporters to write that he's planning to fight for it. He wants and needs the ethics committee to clear his name, but he feels it already sandbagged him with an unjustified admonishment that appears nowhere in House rules and gave him no chance to challenge the finding.

He wants and needs the ethics committee to clear his name, but he feels it already sandbagged him with an unjustified admonishment that appears nowhere in House rules and gave him no chance to challenge the finding.
Rangel "temporarily" stepped down from his Chairmanship on March 3, the same way that Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV) "temporarily" resigned as ranking member on the Ethics Committee in 2006. Mollohan did not come back and neither will Rangel.
Blacks account for about 1.5 percent of all farm operators in this country - and apparently a lot higher share of the civil rights lawsuits against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). On February 18, lawyers for the USDA and thousands of black farmers reached a $1.25 billion class-action agreement resolving, for now, claims that the department had engaged in willful racial discrimination in managing its loan and other aid programs. Think you've seen this headline before? You have. Back in 1999, black farmers, armed with similar claims of racial bias, snagged a federal guarantee of $50,000 per plaintiff plus loan forgiveness and tax liability offsets.

One more point, if a penalty is given as a result of deliberate hand ball why didn't he yellow card Taylor??
Personally, I think that was a rediculous decision. I mean, look at how hard he tries to keep his arms close to his body, stand tall and close down the attacking player without turning his back. As a coach, I would applaud that sort of bravery as he didnt even attempt to move his hands in front of his face which would block his view of the ball. If he has his hands flailing around in the air, maybe I would understand the decision but he did everything right. He was only about 2 meters away when the ball was thumped directly at him.Look at the ref's previous decisions to allow play to go on with people getting shoved from behind. I dont mind that too much as he gave the decisions to both sides but as a ref you need some consistency. Im not bitter obviously as we are in a much better position than Alkmaar but I just didnt agree with that.
