Whole Foods Market Partners with Non-GMO Project for its Private Label Products
Whole Foods Market yesterday formally committed to the Non-GMO Project -- a non-profit collaboration of manufacturers, retailers, processors, distributors, farmers, seed breeders and consumers -- to use the Non-GMO's Product Verification Program (PVP) in connection with its private label products.
Whole Foods Market yesterday formally committed to the Non-GMO Project -- a non-profit collaboration of manufacturers, retailers, processors, distributors, farmers, seed breeders and consumers -- to use the Non-GMO's Product Verification Program (PVP) in connection with its private label products.
The PVP is designed to scientifically test whether a product has met a set of defined standards for the presence of genetically engineered organisms.
"From the moment GMOs were approved for use in the U.S., we recognized the need for transparency, but there was no definitive standard by which to evaluate or label products," said Margaret Wittenberg, Whole Foods global VP of quality standards. "We searched high and low for years for a way to do this, and now, thankfully, the Non-GMO Project has answered that challenge by creating a standard and a practical system by which manufacturers may measure their products. At last, shoppers concerned about foods made with genetically modified ingredients will be able to make informed choices."
According to FDA, as much as 75 percent of processed food in the United States may contain components from genetically modified crops. Despite the abundance of products with genetically modified ingredients, a Pew Initiative study on Food and Biotechnology shows that 59 percent of Americans are unfamiliar with the issue of genetically modified ingredients in food.
"In 30 other countries around the world, including Australia, Japan and all of the nations in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production of GMOs, due to environmental impact and concerns about GMO safety," said Megan Thompson, executive director of the Non-GMO Project.
While federal law requires organic producers to comply with certain non-GMO requirements identified in the USDA organic standards, there is no standard for labeling GMOs in non-organic products.
The PVP uses a process that combines on-site facility audits, document-based review, and DNA testing to measure compliance with the standard. For a product to bear the seal, it must undergo a process through which any ingredient at high risk for genetic contamination -- soy or corn, for example -- has been shown to meet the non-GMO standard through avoidance practices and testing.
Once a product has been approved through the PVP, it can be described as being verified by the Non-GMO Project and/or be labeled with the Non-GMO Project's compliance seal. The first Whole Foods Market private label products to bear this seal are expected to be in stores before the end of the year.
"Since there is no U.S. regulation regarding disclosure on products manufactured with GMO ingredients, we are committed to helping our shoppers make confident choices by knowing that what they are buying has been verified as meeting the standards of the non-GMO Project," said Michael Besancon, senior global VP of purchasing at Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods. "We strongly encourage other manufacturers and retailers to act now and submit their products to the PVP as well. Taking a stand together will make a more significant impact on our overall food supply, which will help the environment and consumer choice in the marketplace."
Early supplier partners of the project include The Natural Grocery Co., The Big Carrot Natural Food Market and Good Earth Natural Foods, and companies that have lent major support to the project and participated in the initial piloting of the PVP include Eden Foods, Organic Valley, Lundberg Family Farms, Nature's Path Organic and United Natural Foods, Inc.
Whole Foods will host an educational webcast Wednesday, Aug. 26, at 1 p.m. CDT, to discuss the Non-GMO Project and the PVP. Webcast details are available at www.wholefoodsmarket.com/nongmoproject.
"As you can imagine, the level of diligence involved will require an enormous amount of effort at every step in the manufacturing process," said Joe Dickson, Whole Foods Market quality standards coordinator and Non-GMO Project board member. "The more participation we have in the program, the more rapidly the industry will realize efficiencies. Economies of scale will ultimately have a real and lasting impact on the available supply of non-GMO ingredients."

Happy Monday friends! I had every intention of going on a fun date with Matty on friday night and sharing that with you this morning but friday morning i took my kids to a local gymnastics gym to play during open gym hours and an hour and fifteen minutes into it my 2 year old fell on one of the trampolines, 6 hours in the ER later we came home with a full leg cast! Poor kid, his tibia is broken! It's going to be quite an adjustment for this kid who never sits still to be anchored with this crazy huge cast. The first night home was hard, he kept waking up throughout the night saying I'm stuck! Take it off! it was really sad. But today is already been easier as he has learned how to scoot and crawl around to get the toys he wants. It's super sad that our summer is basically over- no more pool, park, or anything where running would be involved. :( I'm sure i'll be posting some ideas of how to entertain an immobile child soon. Any tips would be appreciated!
Good Morning Smoothie
Load ingredients into the smoothie in this order:
2 cups liquid- i use all different types and even combinations such as carrot/orange/apple whatever you have on hand. i keep forgetting to pick up some coconut water which i think might be nice.
3 medium scoops of vanilla frozen yogurt
2 cups of mixed frozen fruit- I'm a huge fan of a mix that i buy at walmart, its great value brand and its a extra large bag of pineapple,peaches,strawberry and mango. sometimes i add a frozen kiwi that i have saved when i bought a huge package at costco or i'll throw in some blueberries also. We don't care for bananas in our smoothies because we feel like it overpowers and thats all you can taste, but really use whatever fruit you want!
1 bunch of kale 4-6 leaves- i have been using red kale which i feel like you can taste even less than regular kale. I'm not sure if there are more or less nutrients ( i should probably look into that) but it def has a milder taste.
Then just blend it up and serve! I am a huge fan of my vitamix, it blends this baby to smoothie perfection! and i promise it totally tastes wonderful and refreshing!

Royal Caribbean Cruises has announced record net income for the third quarter 2007 of $395.0 million, or $1.84 per share, compared to net income of $345.4 million, or $1.63 per share, in 2006. The results were better than expected mainly due to stronger late bookings driving higher prices. Revenues for the third quarter 2007 increased to $2.0 billion from revenues of $1.6 billion in the third quarter 2006. The company also raised its EPS guidance for the year to the high end of its previous guidance despite higher crude oil prices.

Or rather Netherlands. Wow. So much has happened since my last entry. I couldn't possibly catch y'all up in one setting...but I'll try. I quit my job in July of last year after and uncomfortable confrontation with my inebriated (and more and more regularly secretly soused) employer. It was weird, nerve-wracking and awful. I went for a month to the most beautiful, light and airy studio apartment in Berkeley. It was mine for one month, to share with a flatulant tabby named Turkey. After working two tense weeks with for the parents from hell, I left for my aerie across the bridge. See...nope couldn't do it. I'll have to finish up after I have dinner with the best in-laws on the planet (not mine). We're having lumpia!

Toxic jump into Angourie's Blue Pool
Visitors to the famed Angourie Blue pool are being warned to keep out of the water.
There has been an outbreak of blue-green algae and the pool is off-limits for use by people and pets.
Last year the pool managed to avoid an outbreak of the toxic algae.
Brian Dodd from the New South Wales Department of Water says contact with the contaminated water should be avoided and he's described the consequences.
"Skin itches and irritations and if it gets in your eyes and ears and up your nose it can cause the mucus membranes to get a bit infected as well," he said.
And it's not only people that can be affected. Mr Dodd says dogs have died from the algae.
"It's not really all that life-threatening but it is for pets because quite often a dog will go into the water and it will lick its coat afterwards and then that dog will actually ingest the water, dogs have died from blue-green algae," Mr Dodd said.
The Clarence Valley Council is monitoring the situation and people are being asked to not remove the safety warning signs.

Despite thousands of Britons being signed up to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), few will have known exactly what it was upon receiving the policy. This is because many of the country's leading banks sold the plans to their customers without them knowing. If you believe you have been mis sold PPI, then you have a right to make a claim and to win back any lost earnings. First of all, you'll need to know exactly what it is.
PPI, otherwise known as credit insurance or loan repayment insurance, is a form of insurance policy that covers the consumer's loan repayments should they become victim to certain happenings. These include falling ill, being involved in an accident or becoming unemployed through no fault of their own.
This period will typically last 12-24 months, or shorter; depending on the agreement or loan amount. However, on some cases an agreement won't have been put in place beforehand; which leads to thousands attempting to claim back PPI each year.
Even some of the major brokers manage to make key errors when contacting their customers about PPI, which is why so many policies get mis sold to consumers each year. For example, their phone operators are under obligation to ask certain questions about the customer's situation, as there are many that cannot be sold PPI.
Simply put, if you're not earning money, PPI cannot be sold to you. The same applies if you're self-employed or working part-time. If your circumstances have changed since then, not to worry, as any claim you make will be based on your situation upon receiving the policy.
You can also make a claim if the policy was hidden from you by the broker - in the small-print of a loan agreement for example - or if you were told that investing in a policy is required to take out a loan. PPI is by no means a necessity, no matter what an operator tells you.
Lastly, many people actually hold a policy through their own company's insurance cover, so it's always worth checking what you already have. Re-selling is prime example of bad practice by banks and loan companies, which is why so many claims are successful each year.
Now you're aware of the definition, you can start to claim back on what's rightfully yours.

Patient Stories
Here are some stories of GW Heart & Vascular Institute's patients that we hope will help and inspire others.
Expectant grandfather takes medications to keep high cholesterol and blood pressure in check
Heart disease has always been a part of Tom's life. His father died from cardiac thrombosis – a blood clot in the heart – when Tom was only nine years old. Says Tom: "For a long time, I believed I would die before my 50th birthday."
Stents and ICD return working mother to her sons
In July 2005, Cynthia, a 38-year-old mother of two boys, thought she had food poisoning. She'd been feeling nauseous and vomiting for days, and had chills that felt bone-deep. At the hospital, test results showed that she had suffered a heart attack. "I asked the doctor if he was sure he had the right person because I couldn't believe it was happening to me. I didn't go into the hospital for any kind of heart problems," she says.
After angioplasty and stents, heart disease patient is back on the soccer field
Tim was no stranger to exercise. At age 56, he was a regular at the YMCA, lifting weights and doing a variety of aerobic exercises. Then one day, he noticed that he was feeling unusually winded after a workout and there was some tightness in his chest. "I thought it was my lungs and went to an allergist, who checked me out and sent me to have my heart checked," says Tim.
With defibrillator, congestive heart failure patient is enjoying life again
Welford was in his late forties when he began feeling weak, as though all the energy had been drained out of him. He experienced a few dizzy spells but shrugged them off. "I was too young for something like heart failure to be happening to me," says Welford. "I put off dealing with it for too long, until it was almost too late."
With nonsurgical procedure, she's back on the job and back into life
Mary, a 55-year-old caseworker at the Department of Human Services, had no idea why her heart would suddenly start racing out of control during normal daily activities like walking or working. "I'd start sweating and feeling lightheaded, and then my heart would start beating really fast," she recalls. The attacks gradually became more frequent and severe, landing her in the emergency room three times. "During the last attack, I could actually see my blouse moving because my heart was pounding so hard," she says.
Sudden cardiac arrest survivor owes his second chance at life to coworkers and passersby
Purnanshu was on the way to an appointment when he collapsed in the street outside his workplace. He is alive today because of the quick thinking of others. A coworker on his lunch break and a stranger began CPR while another passerby called 911. Within 10 minutes, the paramedics arrived and, using a portable device called an automatic external defibrillator, shocked his heart to get it beating again. Purnanshu regained consciousness in the emergency room of George Washington University Hospital. He was in grave condition.

Interview Question: Why are some of the class and element names counter-intuitive?
By: Ash Emailed: 1768 times Printed: 2515 times
Latest comments
The framework grew in the telling and, as it evolved, some of the names drifted.
The good thing about a nightly build, is that everything becomes available to the community as soon as it is written. The bad thing about a nightly build is that things like class names get locked down early and then become difficult to change.

A Career Goal as a High School Teacher
By: Charlie Ward
Day to Day
On a day to day basis a teachers hours are pretty set and their route is very much the same, although what they are teaching each day may differ a lot. High School Teachers hours are from 7:30 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. (maybe later depending on the day) High School teachers make the lesson plans for their different classes and then teach them to High School students.
Working Place
Being a teacher has very little physical demands. The hardest thing would be correcting all the homework and tests, and dealing with snotty, disrespectful arrogant, high schoolers. And co-workers also.
The Average salary for a High School teacher in Minnesota is $53,680 (19th highest in the nation) That salary will start lower and increase over time depending on how long you are there and can also increase if you get your masters degree ect.
Skills and Schooling
As a teacher you will need many different skills, like a good understanding of what you are teaching. You will need to be understanding of students, having lots of patients will help, classroom control, and being trust worthy that you can teach the criteria.
You will need to complete a bachelors degree program and get a license to teach in Minnesota. Many teachers get a job student teaching and being a substitute to see what it is like and making sure that that is what they want to do.

Bundesbank still confident Germany can return to growth
Germany, Europe's biggest economy, has gotten off to a somewhat shaky start to 2013, but that will not jeopardise its expected recovery later this year, the Bundesbank said on Monday.
"The hesitant start to 2013 has not placed a question-mark over the anticipated rebound in economic activity," the German central bank wrote in its March monthly report.
After German gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 0.6 percent in the last quarter of 2012, industrial orders and output data for January declined unexpectedly, dealing a blow to hopes for a rapid rebound.
Nevertheless, confidence and sentiment indicators are continuing to point upwards.
The important Ifo business climate index, for example, "rose again in February, with export expectations in particular pointing upwards," the Bundesbank wrote.
"Output expectations are similarly pointing to expansion. This is backed up by a strong rise in imports in January, following two unusually weak months. Companies are continuing to hire and consumers remain confident thanks to favourable labour market conditions," the report said.
German GDP grew by 0.5 percent in the first quarter of 2012 and then by 0.3 percent in the second quarter and 0.2 percent in the third quarter.
With the contraction of 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter, the economy expanded by just 0.7 percent across the whole of 2012, compared with 3.0 percent in 2011.
The government is pencilling in growth of 0.4 percent for 2013.
But German industry is more optimistic and the DIHK federation of chambers of commerce recently projected growth of 0.7 percent given brighter export prospects and a stabilisation in corporate investment and hiring.

A Glee Look Ahead, 4×07 Rachel and Finn Scoop10/02/2012
Glee: Finchel related scoop on episode 4×07
Here's some scoop on Glee from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat Daily for Monday 10/1/12.
Will we see Finchel reunite on Glee after the breakup episode?
Since both Kurt and Rachel make a trip back to McKinley around episode seven, we'll say it's definitely a possibility. And Jane Lynch told us that Finn would be sticking around Lima to help out with a certain glee club, so we'd bet our bottom dollar that Finn and Rachel will cross paths when they're both back in Ohio.
Glee returns this week on Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 9pm on FOX. Episode 4×04 is titled The Break-Up. In the new Glee episode, Rachel and Kurt are caught off-guard when they get unexpected visits in New York City. Meanwhile, Santana and Brittany deal with the long distance between them, and Will and Emma disagree on a new job offer. The scooped episode above won't air until December.

The apple logo ads on at least 50% to the fair price, 100% if it glows, plus the crummy OS costs around $500 per license in apple's eyes. There's nothing an apple can do that a PC can't do better with the right software, as they use the same components now. It was an even broader gap when apple used the IBM-designed PowerPC chips, which ran hot and inefficiently (first-gen imacs were especially known for some melting or bursting into smoke due to poor cooling design...

Alan, did the Judge really call the iPhone "iconic?" Or, is that just something that gets thrown in every article?

This is a ''TOTAL SURPRISE'' Hail to HTC they deserve MAJOR PROPS on this. Now Samsung can hop on the bandwagon and sue apple on September 13th 2012 to have it's new iphone banned in the US for LTE PATENTS. Samsung owns 13% of the LTE PATENTS in the UNITED STATES so trust me APPLE MADE a huge mistake with there LTE IPHONE...They started the battle android will win the war...
164. jamz82277 (Posts: 3; Member since: 09 Sep 2012)
I sincerely hope any company with any LTE patent that Apple infringes will sue for a ban on the iPhone 5. I hope at least one of those companies win, and moreso I hope More than one wins, so when Apple works around one patent, they still have three more to work around before they are allowed to sell the phone. If Apple got their junk banned for a while they would feel the heat and stop suing everyone and their mother. I am so sick of hearing nearly every day about Apple trying to ban someone's products. PLEASE SOMEONE give them a taste of their own medicine!!!

Have anyone else felt this before or is it just me? Lol
I noticed that a lot of the people on here (pretty much just the guys) seem to disagree with me or something a lot and it seems like they are just trying to attack me purposely but in a subtle way.. Any one felt this way before? Lol
Most Helpful Girl
It's happened to me twice. Once because I told a guy it was a bit creepy to give a girl he had never met compliments over Facebook (due to going through the same thing, I found it creepy so I was sharing from personal experience) and he attacked me calling me insecure and shallow for not liking random repetitive compliments from a stranger online, then continued to call me names. The second was recent, just because (again, I stated my opinion) and he had something not too nice about it. I ended up reporting both.10|10|0

My hope for you Grace Girl is that as you head into the future, you know that God is with you and has given you the power to push past the hindrances that are placed in front of you. I am believing that you will live life in a posture of faith in God's promises.
While attending He Loves Me, I pray that you (and the Grace Girls you bring) will be inspired, surprised and awed by the impartation of God's presence. Please join me as we raise our swords and adjust our crowns. He Loves You. He's with you wherever you go. Because God is with you, you are Brave enough to face whatever comes your way.
See you at the celebration – He Loves Me 2017!

Miami, July 26 (AP): A woman who was allegedly severely burned by flaming rum during a Bacardi promotion is suing the spirits producer, claiming the product was defective and dangerous.
Danielle Alleyne, of Miami, was injured after she was doused with the flaming rum at a Miami night club in August 2002, according to the lawsuit filed on Monday in Miami-Dade county circuit court. The burning rum stuck to her skin and continued to burn as she fell to the floor and tried to put herself out, the lawsuit said.
Alleyne suffered second and third degree burns on her face, neck, chest and back and is permanently disabled and disfigured, according to the lawsuit.

Another Comebacker from Cancer
The Arizona Diamondbacks were all about trying to make some sort of a comeback in the first game of a four-game series against the Atlanta Braves. The Diamondbacks' offence has completely faded away, as they were only able to score 3 runs against the Florida Marlins during the entire series. Putting that aside, this game was very significant because it was the day starting pitcher Doug Davis made his first appearance since undergoing thyroid cancer surgery six weeks ago. With Davis providing some inspiration against the Braves, not to mention all cancer patients, let's see if the Diamondbacks could provide him with some offence to snap a three-game losing streak, as well as a five-game winning streak that the Braves had going on. Jo-Jo Reyes (2-1, 4.12 ERA) was Davis' opponent and has had only 2 more appearances than Davis, which means both of their stats don't really say much at this point. However, what they do in this game will really reflect on their stats after the game.
The Diamondbacks didn't give the Braves any leeway in this game at all, from the 1st inning to the last inning. However, it was mainly the 1st inning that killed the Braves. The D-Backs scored almost twice as many runs in the first inning than they did in the entire series against the Marlins! First up was Chris Young, who did not really have the best average for a leadoff hitter, but could run like a speeding bullet. He flied out, which didn't help his .247 batting average. Stephen Drew was the next batter, and he crushed a 1-2 pitch over the right field wall to get the offence going. Following him was Orlando Hudson, who struck out swinging to make the second out. With Jo-Jo needing only one out left, he wasn't looking all that great. He gave up two straight walks to Conor Jackson and Justin Upton. Chris Snyder then doubled them both in with what he called a "cue shot" just past first baseman Mark Teixeira to give the D-Backs a 3-0 lead; it was only the top of the 1st inning, and the Diamondbacks already scored the same amount of runs they did in the entire D-Backs/Marlins series. Eric Byrnes stepped up to the plate after the two-run-double, and he hammered the first pitch he saw: a fastball right down the middle; that just made it over the left field wall to early lead to 5. Reyes finally got out of the inning after getting Mark Reynolds to ground out on a soft ground ball to catcher Brian McCann for the third out.
"We got a few breaks early on," said Snyder. "I hit probably the ugliest two-run double I've ever hit in my life, but those are the things that open it up."
"Sometimes all you need is an inning like that in the first inning, and everybody relaxes a little bit," Diamondbacks' manager Bob Melvin said. "You struggle for a while and one hit, two hits, three hits -- all of a sudden, it's a five-run inning and the floodgates open."
The 27,000+ in Turner Field got to see Doug Davis pitch for the first time since April 8th. He got out of the inning rather quickly, only giving up an early walk to Chipper Jones.
"When you get five runs, it takes a lot of pressure off," Davis said. He said (later on) that he didn't let his emotions get to him during this game, which was a key factor how he pitched so well.
"It goes away after the first pitch," Davis said of the added emotion. "The first strike call, it all goes away."
Davis went on to pitch a really good game for a guy who just came back from cancer surgery. However, he got a lot of help from the Arizona defence. The 2nd inning was his worst inning, as he gave up a walk, hit a batter, and surrendered an RBI single; Justin Upton misplayed the ball, but the run was still an earned run. Fortunately for Davis, Jo-Jo Reyes was up, and he grounded out to the pitcher for an easy second out. Next up was Yunel Escobar, a very dangerous batter in the Braves' lineup. The second pitch by Davis was driven to right field. It could've been a two-run single, but Justin Upton redeemed himself, as he made a remarkable catch to stop what could've been a rally for the Atlanta. Instead, it resulted in only one lousy run.
The 4th inning just put a bigger smile on Davis' face, as the D-Backs scored some more insurance runs in order for Davis to earn a win on the day he came back from cancer surgery. Jo-Jo Reyes was still pitching, but at least he settled down. He didn't give up any more runs after the 1st inning, at least until the 4th inning came along. After an Eric Byrnes leadoff single and an Chipper Jones error, allowing Mark Reynolds to reach first base safely, Doug Davis laid down a bunt to move Byrnes to third and Reynolds to second. Davis did what he had to do, and was all in Chris Young's hands, the leadoff man with a batting average of .247, regarding to whether or not the Diamondbacks would add any more runs. Young didn't disappoint, as he drove both runs in with a two-run single. The bottom frame was nothing different than most of the past innings: not much offence going on for the Braves and no runs scored, as they went down in order. At this point, Doug Davis was pitching better than ever. Not only did he cruise right through the 4th inning, but he retired the side in order in the 5th, 6th, and 7th innings as well. Sure, he gave up two singles, but he was able to get both runners out thanks to a couple of double plays.
"It was just good to be back out there competing at the Major League level," he said emotionally. "I said I wanted to be back on the mound by [May 10], and I was back on the mound by the 10th, just in the Minor Leagues." He then went on saying, "Everybody gave me a hug and said, 'Good job,'" Davis said. "Every time I hugged somebody, I just felt very blessed to have them behind me as much as they are."
"Amazing," Melvin said. "Pretty much picked up right where he left off. I mean, he pitched the same type of game."
As far as the D-Backs' offence, they were not done yet. The 5th inning came along, and Conor Jackson hit the third home run for the D-Backs off of Jo-Jo Reyes. It was only the second time he surrendered 3 home runs in his MLB career, with the last time being on July 27, 2007. Bobby Cox let Reyes pitch it out, and he eventually got out of the inning, with some people still finding it surprising that he didn't take out Reyes long before the 5th.
"I didn't get ahead with the fastball and that was the biggest key," Reyes said. "My other pitches weren't able to get in play because I wasn't getting ahead with [the fastball]."
"That's his first real bad ballgame," Cox said of Reyes. "He'll learn. I like him a lot. I think he's going to be a dynamite guy. You've got to have patience with guys. Right now, we're going to have to try to have some patience. He should pitch well his next start."
Cox finally took out Reyes when the 6th inning came along and the Diamondbacks were leading 8-1. He was replaced with Chris Resop, a man who needed to get some innings under his belt to reduce his ERA. In the 10 games he appeared in before this one, he went through 10 2/3 innings and reduced his ERA from 15.75 to 5.52, and during those 10 games, he only surrendered 2 runs, which both came in the same game (April 23rd against the Marlins). When looking at the stats, we all knew that there would come a time where he'd surrender at least one run soon. He did just that. After hitting Mark Reynolds with a pitch, and another successful sacrifice bunt by Doug Davis, Chris Young was up again. He jacked a 95 mile-per-hour fastball over the left center wall. I guess everyone just wanted to pitch in to make sure that Davis got a win on his first day back to work. A Mark Reynolds solo home run would in the 8th inning was the 11th and final run of the ballgame, and was the 5th home run for the D-Backs.
"I think we got a little inspirational help from him today," Bob Melvin said. "Just the fact that we knew he was taking the mound again just gives you a little extra. Today was probably just a little bit more than a baseball game."
Max Scherzer and Doug Slaten gave Davis a well deserved break, as they both pitched an inning of relief, and the Diamondbacks went on to win the game 11-1.
"It's baseball," Reyes said about the devastating loss. "It's a humbling sport, where you know you're going to have these days where you're going to hit rock bottom. But you've just got to go out there and work hard the next four days [before the next start]."
"It's just one of those games that snowballed," catcher Brian McCann said, who was accountable for 2 of the 6 hits for the Braves. "We've just got to come back out and get them tomorrow. This is the same as losing a one-run game."
"I tell you, I had some reservations about the timetable," Melvin said in his final thoughts about Doug Davis. "But he did everything he possibly could to keep himself in the type of condition to be able to come back six weeks later and give us a performance like that."
Just think, Jon Lester was diagnosed with lymph node cancer, and it took him 11 months for him to gain his strength back and finally make a comeback. It took Doug Davis only six weeks. Unbelievable!
On another note:
- The Braves have finally been stopped in their tracks, as they only lost a second time in 8 games.
- The Diamondbacks scored 11 runs in this game, which is now a season record. The last time the D-Backs scored in double digits was on May 3rd against the New York Mets.
- The D-Backs also hit 5 home runs in this game. That's the most they've hit in a game since July 31st, 2005.
- Although Doug Davis is known for walking a whole lot of batter in almost every game he starts, he only walked 2 batters in his comeback. "That's always been my problem," he said. "I hate walks, and one of them scored tonight. So that just shows you right there, walks will kill you."
- In case you were wondering, Davis' thyroid was removed 2 days after his last start before going into the hospital for surgery.
- So, this just goes to show you that when you read the "Homer of the Day" articles: don't always expect a close game. ;)

'Bridge of Spies' Trailer: Tom Hanks Stands Tall in Steven Spielberg's New Legal Thriller
After three years, here's Steven Spielberg's follow-up to Lincoln: Another historical drama about freedom and law and essential American values.
After three years, here's Steven Spielberg's follow-up to Lincoln: Another historical drama about freedom and law and essential American values.
When Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg last made a war film, they produced Saving Private Ryan, which was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, and features what's widely considered one of the greatest battle scenes ever captured on film. They've worked together since, including on Catch Me If You Can, one of the best movies of either man's career, but Bridge of Spies might be considered a kind of spiritual sequel to Ryan. That was Hanks and Spielberg's World War II picture. This is their Cold War one.
With the launch of his new TV series, Corden's incarnation of The Late Late Show kicked off with megastar Tom Hanks.
The Late Late Show With James Corden made its grand debut last night, with seemingly every celebrity in existence popping up to say hello. But for his first official guest, Corden snagged everyone's favorite actor: the one and only Tom Hanks. More importantly, he got Tom Hanks to get really silly and there are few things better than Hanks throwing caution to the wind and embracing his inner comedian. In this case, he got the two-time Oscar winner to re-enact all of his movies in less than eight minutes.
We knew going in that the SNL 40th anniversary special would be chock-full of just about every famous person who has ever walked within spitting distance of 30 Rockefeller Plaza and the opening monologue was quick to make use of this genuinely insane temporary cast of stars. Things got started on the right foot when the always-welcome Steve Martin took the stage ... but then he was joined by Tom Hanks. And then things got really crazy.
Just a few months ago, Tom Hanks wondered aloud why he was never cast in a superhero movie. "They don't ask me and I keep trying … Come on, I can do it. Let me play a bad guy, let me play the bad guy against Batman. I'll do anything, call me!" he said. And, guess what? They almost did. It turns out Hanks was on a very shortlist of contenders to play Lex Luthor in 'Batman vs. Superman.'
Everyone remembers the scene in 'Big' when Tom Hanks plays "Chopsticks" on the novelty piano with just his feet. Hanks recently appeared on 'The Jonathan Ross Show' to relive the magic with the host, but then we got a special surprise: Sandra Bullock, who was on hand to promote 'Gravity,' joined in the fun. And even more impressive: Bullock can play "Chopsticks" in high heels!
Tom Hanks is sure to earn himself an Oscar nomination for his performance in director Paul Greengrass' 'Captain Phillips,' and the new trailer previews his riveting portrayal in this true-to-life tale of a captain facing Somali pirates.
With piracy drama 'Captain Phillips,' Paul Greengrass ('Bloody Sunday,' 'United 93') has defended his ground as the go-to man for tragic, reality-based pressure-cooker films. The dude really knows how to get your palms sweaty, even when you kinda-sorta know how things are going to end up. Note to self: don't take your cargo ship through the Somali Basin if you don't have to.
Greengrass is also the director of the best two 'Bourne' movies ('Supremacy' and 'Ultimatum') and just as Matt Damon glided through those films as the steely, mixed-martial killing machine, Tom Hanks' center-seat performance here is a master class in keeping it cool.
Any TV fan knows that all good things cinematic come in threes, so why would HBO's collaboration with legendary director Steven Spielberg and Hollywood icon Tom Hanks be any different? Following 2001's acclaimed mini-series 'Band of Brothers' and 2010 successor 'The Pacific,' the holy TV trinity has begun work on a third World War II mini-series, to once again adapt another historical account. Get the details on HBO's 'Masters of the Air' from Spielberg and Hanks inside!
Tom Hanks is among Hollywood's most beloved actors, so who better to inhabit Walt Disney, one of Tinseltown's most ambitious dreamers? Hanks is portraying Disney in 'Saving Mr. Banks,' and today we're getting our first look at the man in all his mustachioed glory.

I find it amazing that people are sending in SMS replies to television polls on whether the Mehtas should be allowed to terminate their pregnancy.
I thought this was about a health complication in the first place, and that a medical debate on the legal aspects of abortion dealt only with the extent and probability of damage to the mother or foetus involved. To make this an issue of morality and, worse, a forum for random college students and bored office-goers to offer advice to two such clearly sentient and fully-functional adults as the Mehtas on a private matter, is befuddling.
The 24x7 poll, for example, called 'Whose Life Is It Anyway?' asks people if parents should be the sole decision makers in the matter of the abortion of a foetus.
... because clearly a better decision would involve the considered opinion of Nikhil, 16, Chandigarh and Retd Col. Anantharaman, 67, Bangalore?

This house was as advertised, clean and well-maintained, in a very quiet and private setting. Even the fireplace was prepared for lighting! Dave, the owner, was friendly and helpful. Since it is centrally located in the state, we were able to take many side trips.
This would be a great place for 2 couples (even a second fireplace on the lower level) or a couple with children, or just a cozy place for 2.
Wonderful base for our September/October leaf peeping! We spent two and a half weeks at this super clean and comfortable home. Due to the variety of weather we had, we enjoyed the beautiful deck with its high-end grill and also the cozy fireplace. Just wish we had used the firepit; maybe next time, because we would certainly love to return.
We have been renting from VRBO/Homeaway for many years in New England and the Outer Banks, and we have never experienced a better stocked pantry/frig. Just about every condiment/spice was provided... so convenient. Even the bathrooms had your basics... shampoo, alcohol, peroxide, bandaids, etc.
David was super to work with. The clothes dryer broke while we were there and the next day we had a new dryer in the laundry room! Our four-year-old grandson who was among our guests (all of whom also loved the place) was thrilled with the toys and books provided. There are so many activities in the area, and the beautiful town of Waitsfield is just down the hill. Don't miss their farmer's market on Saturdays... one of the best in the state. The owners have provided brochures on just about everything to do in central and northern Vermont! We would highly recommend this property and hope to come back again.
Thank you David... We came with our newborn and 1 year old toddler. We figured that if we are going to have to change diapers and have sleepless nights we might as well do it in a beautiful place during maternity leave.
It was a wonderful vacation. I nursed the baby on a comfortable couch while looking at the peaceful forest around us. My husband took our toddler on walks which delighted him. We went to nearby family farms to look at the animals and bought locally grown eggs and produce.
The house had everything you could want. Toiletries, even first aid basics, a well equipped kitchen. Lots of toys and games for all ages... Our toddler loved the little car he could ride in, the Lego, and the toy animals. They even had a good selection of children's books!
The house was beautiful and tastefully set up. I highly recommend it!
What a great time we had -we highly recommend a stay here! The house was attractive, clean and comfortable with well-equipped kitchen (we didn't even use the lower level but lots of room for kids). The location is quiet and peaceful and there is a trailhead about a 1/4mile at the end of the road and we started nearly every morning with a short hike. This was our first trip to VT and there was lots to do without having to drive far (hiking, shopping, dining out, etc) ; we have a plug-in car and were able to do most trips on electric miles (Owner Dave is glad to accommodate the recharging) . In the evenings, we especially enjoyed stargazing on the wide deck along the back of the house -the Milky Way was amazing! We were there for the Perseid meteor shower -fantastic to watch the meteors streaking across the sky.
Very nice home ,in quiet woodsy location. It was fully equipped with all items we needed. 2 big bedrooms upstairs and complete den and bedroom downstairs with bath. It was clean and we would def recommend. We were happy to do laundry after ling road trip.
Dave, the owner, stopped by on his bike to say hi. He was an excellent host
The home exceeded our expectations. Very clean, helpful amenities and conveniently located. On a quiet road that added to the peace and serenity needed for this trip.
This Panoramic Mountain Top Location is less than 2 miles from Town which has all shopping amenities from basic to high end shops. Waitsfield boasts of a variety of artists, potters, jewelers with unique shops great for browsing. Quaint restaurants and cafes' that truly round out any vacation or get away. The valley is known for it's artist, architect, community. Traditional Vermont mountains, views , rivers, ponds ,and peacefulness.
Other Activities: Hiking Trails, Great Walking Road(low traffic road w/ panoramic views), River Swimming, Long Views

I bought the clothe in Walmart that was on sale that time for $1.25 a yard. I was happy since it was cheap and i love the color of it. I sewed it just a simple design and put a lace too. I hope one of this days i can sew again another curtain for the other room. Anyway, have a wonderful day to all.

From athletes faces being shoved into someone's butt to getting a kick that literally might hurt worse than the original injury, these clips are painfully hilarious to watch.

About 10 minutes ago I got my second MOAB, and as soon as the match ended I went to watch it in theater. As I left the lobby the game glitched and disconnected me. When I re-signed in the MOAB game was gone along with about an hour of other gameplay. This is about the 10th time my stats on this game have been deleted and to be honest i'm at a loss. Once again IW make a fantastic game but just has one or two problems which put me off it.
1. The most frustrating thing in this game for me is the connection. I have a very strong connection which frequently leads me getting host, which was a godsend in previous CoD's. However in MW3 it is nothing but a hindrance. Every new lobby I join I instantly become host and my score collapses. I beg you to fix this.
2. The second thing that is wrong with the game is the stat deletes. As I mentioned above this has happened to me numerous times and is extraordinarily annoying. Along with that MOAB, I have lost Osprey Gunners, max levelling etc due to this. Apparentley if you leave a game half way through this happens, but I have only done this twice on MW3 (both times when I joined a game on Ground War and the enemy had a ton of air support) so I am understandably confused why this always happens to me.
3. Another problem that is exclusive to me is that my vault refuses to work. I cannot view games saved there (the message "Out of memory7 appears when I try to view it) so good games which I would like to see from a while ago cannot be viewed. This annoys me.
As far as how MW3 plays online, I love it. Very fun, fast paced and entertaining. It would be my favourite in the series if it wasn't for these issues. I welcome any advice on how to deal with these problems. MarlboroNS 22:01, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible for remote customers...not on my domain....to submit an email request and then get access to the ticket system. Also...if they can...can I limit what they see...ie only thier cases. It would be nice if they could search old cases also. Not sure if this is too much for this system.

I do have an external IP address I use for our SBS 2003. Any tricks to combining that ip address with the portal address to get to the portal screen quickly?
right now when my outside users type in the external ip address they are connected to the SBS welcome screen with choices to go to RWW, My company net, etc.
realize I'm asking a techy question...just looking for direction to make it easy on our end users....ie ..just giving them one http address and getting to the portal login. If they have to jump through a bunch of hoops...they won't use the portal.
Again thanks ...your answers are helping me get to the end.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Zordon, Apr 28, 2013.
Yep, Kiffiin's D will be most like Seattle's--you know, the team that sent you packing last year.
Skins fans can you go back to your pigpin on ES. Your opinions are worthless on here. I'd have more respect for yall if you didn't just now come out of hiding for decades.
Have Lee/Carter ever been healthy? Going back to college?
And stick in the Oregon vs USC tape. The USC D, with all the talent it had, was confused and dominated that day. I was at that game, Oregon could have put up 100.
The big plays will continue against old man Kiffin. Probably my favorite move the Cowboys made this offseason
A lot more of this at Cowboys stadium
I have been here for years, you can look at my posting history. Don't give me that garbage, in particular when posting this thread that is begging us to post in. Sonny 9 and Califan have been here the last few years also, consistantly posting
When I see Red Bryant, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas on your D, I might be worried.
I see an old D-Ware who was confused out of his jock in week 17, and a secondary that struggled covering Aldrick Robinson
And winning the same amount of Superbowls as the great Barry Sanders did.
You better save and archive those pics because the memories will be great for you.
Counting on that continuing in the future will be a real let down for u Foreskin fans.
its funny because going into next season i'm more concerned about the Giants than i am the Redskins. I'm not buying what they're selling just yet. The Giants are much more of a challenge in my opinion.
But the Redskins hype is entertaining though. it seems like every year the media hypes someone in the NFC east, that team proves the media wrong. Saw it when they predicted the Giants to win the conference and they missed the playoffs. Saw it when Philly "won" free agency and missed the playoffs. Saw it even when WE were supposed to have a big year and we flamed out. Redskins are no exception. The media hype is off the charts right now, and that team has A LOT to live up to. good luck with all of that. i personally LOVE flying under the radar and being the underdog.
Dallas is supposed to suck, and i don't believe it for a second. But i'm happy everyone else believes it.
Against your old team?
Once the Parcells drafted players retire, which is very soon, it'll be very dark in Dallas. With Romo at QB, I am really not concerned about the Cowboys being real competitors.
What is it, 3 straight non playoff years? With all that talent! Just look at your own sig. Tells the story of the demise of your organization.
You can get a lot of good pictures from typing in "Bob Griffin Knee" too.
Man somebody own this kid, if I wasn't on my phone I'd take the time to dig up a montage of the past 20 years in Redskins history.
The biggest thing Washington has going for them against us is Jason Garrett's unwillingness to expose that all out blitz.
Im sorry but if they are going to bring the house than I don't want to see Max Protection with 2 receivers running routes and getting jammed at the LOS.
RG3 is going to get his. What we have to do is get ours as well and not just let them dictate our offense.
The division is wide open this year and every team has the upside to be really good.
Any team could win it. If RG3 is healthy than Washington may be the team that is the most well built to be consistent.
I have no idea what we'll get from Philly but they are potentially dangerous offensively.
The Giants are the Giants. If they are mentally into it than they are as good as anyone.
Dallas has Oline and scoring early problems. If we can speed up the tempo of our play early in games and get a lead on teams than maybe we can start causing some turnovers.
As of today I see it like this.
4. Eagles
If RG3 is ready 100% somehow for the start of the season than i'll put Washington at #1 and bump New York and Dallas down a spot.
I like to live in the present
Agree with all of this
In particular point 1. Garret simply was unable to handle the blitzes Haslett sent in week 17.
You watch the NFL replay and Romo was saying on the sideline "we have no time at all"
The division is very wide open. I trust Captain Kirk but it is nothing like having a 100% RG3 back there
Garrett is so dumb when it comes to his adjustments. The only time he looks smart is when Romo starts buying time and making plays with his feet.
When Haslett just went to that all out blitz Garrett should have gone 5 wide and got the ball out quick to our receivers. We can't block well and Garrett refuses to adjust his gameplan to a struggling O-line.
As you post pictures from last year, technically the past.
You finally won a roller coaster division and got outed in the first round of the playoffs. You act like you won the super bowl or something, really not a good look bro - bout time your team got off its knees in the cellar of this division.
You've always kinda sucked, now youve reached a new low chumming it up with a Skins fan.
Graziano made a good point after week 17.
The Cowboys don't have players who are "available"
By the end of the game who were the WRs you had in? Dez and Miles were both out.
That could have played a part. But it was honestly the same middle blitz over and over that game which annihilated Romo until Haslett added the one final tweak of having Jackson drop into coverage for the final INT.

It was reported as news this week when LeBron James used his NBA champion thumbs to share this with the free world:
"While watching the Draft my son Bryce ask "Is Ray Allen gonna play for the Heat". I said "I don't know, I hope so".
While ignoring the random use of a capital "d," the improper tense and the poor punctuation, let's make one point abundantly clear about this tweet:
It is NOT newsworthy. Just because a famous person says or types something doesn't mean the words have value.
Please, follow journalists, stop reporting nothing as news. LeBron James doesn't know if Ray Allen will sign with the Heat. Gee, LeBron, what else don't you know? It has been a slow news day and…

Tranquil PC Next-Generation NUC Cases Now Available
Experience the 'Next Unit of Computing' with the power of Haswell and a Tranquil PC passive enclosure. Silent, svelte and now compatible with the 4th Generation Haswell Processors, the all new Tranquil PC NUC case is a brilliant opportunity for the discerning buyer to build their own small form factor PC, capable to support a wide range of purposes, the new NUC packs quite a punch for it's size.
Tranquil PC Outs Haswell NUC-Compatible Cases
Tranquil PC is refreshing its compact fan-less case lineup with one that supports the second-generation NUC (next unit of computing) platform, based on Intel's Core "Haswell" processors. Pictured below, the all-aluminium cases are fanless, and rely on the body of the case to dissipate heat from the CPU and PCH, all while measuring 110 x 164 x 47 mm. The case supports Intel's D54250WYB NUC system board, featuring Core i5-4250U dual-core processor, and cutouts for its various connectors, including WLAN jack, DC power-input, mini-DisplayPort, dual PCIe mini-card connectors, mini-HDMI 1.4a, gigabit Ethernet, CIR, four USB ports, and audio jacks. Tranquil PC promises 12 to 25 percent lower temperatures than Intel's air-cooled case. Available now, the case is priced at £99.FanlessTech
Tranquil PC Outs Cases for Intel NUC
British silent PC maker Tranquil PC released passive-cooled all-aluminum cases for Intel's NUC (next unit of computing) form-factor, the NUC-BY (for Intel D33217CK board) and NUC-YE (for Intel D33217GKE). Both models measure 110 x 164 x 47 mm each, their bodies are ridged to double up as heatsinks for the CPU, PCH, and other hot components on the system board. The company claims the aerospace-grade aluminum used keeps the CPU 5 to 15 °C cooler than even the reference fan-cooled case. Both cases are priced at £99.00 ($156).FanlessTech
Tranquil PC Skinny Ripper Pictured
Skinny Ripper, from the house of British ultra-quiet PC maker Tranquil, is designed to be a music archiving server. In its ultra-slim form-factor, the server is configured to be able to work head-less. It features a slot-in optical drive, and a 1 TB internal hard drive (expandable), and runs an embedded version of Fedora Linux. Insert a CD, and it will automatically fetch tag info from the internet, and rip the music to a format of your choice. It can then also stream the music using the Subsonic streamer application. For a nearly single-function device, the Tranquil Skinny Ripper costs £665.83 ($1,051), more of a jewel for your living-room.
Tranquil PC MMC-12 Starts Selling
Unveiled last month, Tranquil PC's ultra-slim MMC-12 media center PC started selling, with an introductory price of £649.00 (about US $1007), its original price will be £749. Measuring 395 (w) x 225 (d) x 40 (h) mm, the MMC-12 is about as big as a consumer Blu-ray/DVD player, and relies entirely on its heatsink-fitted aluminum chassis to passively cool the processor and chipset. The base model is driven by an Intel Core i3-2100T dual-core processor, with 4 GB dual-channel DDR3 memory, 80 GB OS and programs mSATA storage, Internal MCE IR RX and MCE, and Windows 7 Home operating system.
The main unit has an empty 2.5-inch HDD bay, and a slot-in DVD-writer drive, other optical disc formats could probably be opted for. The system has a rated power consumption of 19W (about as much as a consumer DVD/BD player), and uses an external power brick. The drive relies on external storage to hold your media library. It has one eSATA 3 Gb/s port, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and gigabit Ethernet connection to help it do that.The Verge

Tranquil Unveils MMC-12 Media Center PC
British PC maker and specialist with "small and silent PCs", Tranquil, unveiled its latest MMC-12 media center PC that will give your home video player (DVD/Blu-ray player) a run for its money, for in its 1.5-inch tall form-factor, it packs a throbbing Intel Core i3/i5/i7 "Sandy Bridge" processor (buyer chooses model). Its body is milled out of blocks of metal with a satin-textured matte finish. It has a minimalist front-panel with a slot-in optical drive, DVD or Blu-ray (again, buyer chooses). Tranquil didn't give out much more information about the MMC-12. Its previous media center PCs earned quite some praise for their acoustics.The Verge

Kanwarbir Singh, Cluster Head, Radio Mirchi, said, "Radio Mirchi was launched on April 29, 2003, in the capital, and has since won the hearts of over 40 lakh listeners in the city, with its creativity, relevant programming and outstanding RJs. We hope to bring innovations in the programming and new shows for our listeners from time to time."
Celebrations were announced with an on-air contest 'Baat baat mein Mirchi birthday movie tickets'. Listeners could call in between 8 am and 9 pm during any of the shows, right through the day, and get movie tickets to enjoy a special screening of 'Ta Ra Rum Pum' at Satyam on April 29, in the company of all the RJs of Radio Mirchi.

Next stop for careers
Inmost policy areas it struggles to fulfil that pledge, but Wendy Alexander, the Lifelong Learning Minister, will make the statistics look better if she succeeds in reducing the number of organisations loosely linked to careers.
She intends (page seven) cutting their number from 80 to 22 by next year.
The instrument will be Careers Scotland, which is inten- ded to take over not just the 17 careers service companies but also, for example, education business partnerships. In other words where there was a multiplicity oflocal initiatives, there will be national direction and co-ordination. People u adults seeking a new career path as well as youngsters u will find it easier to negotiate the labyrinth of advice.
Ms Alexander's logic cannot be faulted, founded as it ison a report from the head of personnel at Royal Mail in Scot- land, a major employer. But guidance and careers teachers will wait a while before throwing their hats in the air.
They, like the pupils they advise, would welcome greater clarity as to who provides what. But local knowledge and commit- ment must not be sacrificed.
Education business partnerships are a case in point. They work well where a group of employers and teachers share a goal. They can be over-dependent on the goodwill of one or two leaders who may move on. But if the co-operative con- cept is put into too much of a national strait-jacket, busy people may find their altruism draining away. The careers service in Scotland, though technically in the private sector, has escaped competitive tensions dogging it south of the bor- der. It will now be public but unbureaucratic.

|[jira] [Commented] (FLEX-10) Determine version number for first release of Apache Flex
|Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:22:40 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-10?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13188676#comment-13188676 ] Rick Winscot commented on FLEX-10: ---------------------------------- I mentioned a version reset on the list... this would be in name only. The Flex SDK uses mx.core.FlexVersion.as which is tied to mx.core.Version.as - a part of the mx_internal package. There are 200+ hits in Flex SDK v4.5.1 where version checks are used. As you hinted... making a flat-out version change would not be a trivial issue. In fact, it really isn't even an option. The important question to ask is, "why are these version checks even there?" Because of framework caching, Adobe signed RSLs, .swz deployment, etc... which are no longer a concern! Moving forward - it would be in our best interest to _not_ apply bug fixes, features, or functionality that is version exclusive. Back to the version reset... We need to leave FlexVersion.as alone... and all existing version-checks - I agree. However, this doesn't prevent us from adding an ApacheFlexVersion.as and using that as our forward facing / release version (e.g. Apache Flex 1.0). The delivery model for Flex has changed... and so should our mind-set. The code, however, is still stuck in the past... which means that one of the first orders of business should be to log a Jira issue for each of these version checks... 'fix' the problem that required the check... and then remove the check. > Determine version number for first release of Apache Flex > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLEX-10 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-10 > Project: Apache Flex > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Project Management > Reporter: Carol Frampton > Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz > > Determine the version number for the first release of Apache Flex. > Since Adobe may have to release updates to Adobe Flex 4.6.0 we should not use 4.6.x. > The code (FlexVersion.as, flex-sdk-description.xml) and the build files will have to be updated to reflect this change. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

I visited this facility
Jess Ranch Corp was really pretty and very secure. It's gated and they have security that walks around. The whole community was very well manicured and clean. The staff was really nice, very helpful, and accommodating. We were running late, and they adjusted their schedule so they could fit us in. It's a family home with two master bedrooms and a full kitchen.
