Mark was a great host. We only stayed one night but was a great experience and would definetly recommend it to anyone looking good for a nice spot in the area!
Mercedes2016-09-01T00:00:00ZMark and his brother Chris were extremely accommodating and helpful. Definitely recommended as a budget option for staying within easy access to Fire Island.
Kyle2016-09-07T00:00:00ZMark's home was comfortable, clean, and restful. I occupied the smaller of his two spaces and was made to feel welcomed by Mark and his two small dogs. Private bath was clean and adequately supplied. The decks, gardens, and private dock were beautifully maintained.
Fran2016-08-01T00:00:00ZTerrific location in a charming little town, on a small marina near the bay. As quiet as a place can be, and a peaceful oasis in the otherwise frenetic world of Long Island. We stayed in a guest room off the kitchen, with a dedicated bathroom. It was clean and well-furnished, and the house as a whole was very nicely appointed. Mark was there when we checked in, and for much of the time that we were there. He is very friendly and we had great conversations.
Eric2016-09-19T00:00:00ZMark is such a great host. Kind and very helpful. His house is an amazing place just a few meters away from the marina. We enjoyed a lot his morning coffee too. Totally recommended.
Brais2016-09-25T00:00:00ZMark and his brother were so welcoming and great! The place is absolutely beautiful and is right on the water. Mark even went above and beyond and offered us coffee and tea in the morning! I would totally recommend this listing and would stay there again!
Sara2016-08-19T00:00:00ZVery quiet and beautiful place, right by the water! The room is very big and very clean, overall great experience! Mark is very helpful too!
Hohn2016-11-27T00:00:00ZVery personable and it felt like a home away from home.. loved it!

What a fabulous house. The views, the hot tub and steam room were absolutely perfect. Everything about the house was magnificent and "top of the line". I gave my girlfriend a birthday that could only be described as perfect. He knew it was a birthday weekend and he even left a box of fine chocolates to set the weekend off right. The house was immaculate and very tidy. I caught Joe on his way out and he described how to use everything in the house. The house was very high-end, new and clean which made me look like a perfect boyfriend to my girlfriend. I was happy to find that every amenity that we needed was provided in the house along with a book of local hot spots and activities. He was generous and let us use baking supplies and ingredients, he even said you can take my beers. THANK YOU JOE FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP. My girlfriend and I look forward to coming back. I'm a health nut so we will miss the charming organic food store on the corner of the block.
Sean2015-01-23T00:00:00ZRenting this house for family to attend my son's wedding festivities in Sayville met our expectations and more. The gardens was especially delightful with the fall colors starting to show amongst the foliage, ducks, and water with great views from the deck. The house was spacious, comfortable and slept multiple families including 2 toddlers. The kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to cook as well as bar-b-que a couple of large group meals. Joe was quick to respond by text with our questions and left good instructions and local information. Thank you, Joe, for making our Long Island experience so memorable.
Sandra2015-10-20T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay at Joe's house. The house is very modern with a lovely and large backyard with a huge pond. We sat by the fire and cooked in his well-appointed kitchen. Sitting in the hottub in the cold was a highlight! Everything was as described. Master bathroom had awesome shower!
Chloe2016-01-22T00:00:00ZWhat an amazing house on a unique piece of land. I am a filmmaker who was immediately attracted to this home from the pictures. When I arrived it was even nicer than depicted. The inside was light and airy, Hampton's chic with an interior designers touch. Nice new furniture and a new arched, charming bridge was installed in the back yard as we stayed there. We filmed both inside and outside with our entire crew and you could hear a pin drop with no sign or sound of any neighbors. Such a tranquil, relaxing place. Joe was very accommodating and flexible, I will definitely shoot another film at his home. I never would have thought you would never find such a place only one hour from the city.
A2015-04-25T00:00:00ZThe house was very spacious and comfortable and the backyard was beautiful. We had no problem fitting all the guests in the house. Overall, it was a great experience and would definitely rent again. Pros: clean and spacious. Rules are well explained and easy to follow. Beautiful yard. Hot tub is very easy to use and was filled and ready when we arrived. Beautiful path to the marina in the backyard. Cons: the outdoor light switch was almost impossible to find because it was hidden behind plants. The beach nearby is dirty. Did not provide any suggestions as too where to eat or what to do for entertainment or what beach to go to.
Shelly2014-09-26T00:00:00ZThis is a beautiful and picturesque house. Fully equipped with everything needed and with an unbelievable view.
Maxwell2017-02-23T00:00:00ZOverall, home was beautiful and amazing for the price. It is nautical themed and the interior design is stunning. It really feels like a beach house and is perfect for a relaxing weekend with friends or family. Joe's house is decked out with everything you might need. The stove was spotless and easy to use, he has all types of pots and pans and plenty of plates, bowls, drinking glasses and silverware. There are tons of towels available and helpful instructions are clean and extensive, even offering local places to grab food. Avocadoes was great!. I would definitely recommend this to friends. just remember to follow the rules and launder the towels, small chore for a great place.

Rod was a fantastic host. Quick and helpful communications. In a great location and such a cute space. The outdoor shower is a lovely way to start your day. Will definitely be staying here again!
joey2016-06-22T00:00:00ZRod's "Ursa Minor" studio apartment was the perfect complement to our Cherry Grove trip. In the past I have never been a fan of Fire Island's apparent two lodging options for visitors: $300/night dumps or $600+/night mediocre "luxury" spots, so we were thrilled to find Rod's sensibly priced but classy space. Decorated in an ocean blue with rich, dark woods, it has a cozy beach cabin feel with modern, stylish touches -- and very clean! Several windows on 3 sides give lots of light and can be opened to find very effective screens (which is a must to keep out the Fire Island bugs). The kitchen is well-equipped with a mix of utensils and appliances. While the indoor bathroom is small, I was almost never in it since the private outdoor shower(s) are absolute Heaven. The studio itself is part of a 2-unit house; the front door in the photo is for the larger left-hand unit, and the windows to the right were part of our studio. Both units share a full-wrap-around deck (which has a larger space for lounge chairs on the left, a dining table and grill on the right, and a washer/dryer in back -- all of which are shared, though there are two separated outdoor shower areas). The property has a wonderful location on the east side of the Cherry Grove community, just a few minutes' walk to the arrival pier and just as close to the beach. Rod even has DirecTV and a good wifi network. He was very available off-island by email if we ever had questions or needed suggestions, and I would fully recommend anyone stay at his property in the future.
Jason2014-06-24T00:00:00ZRod is the perfect host. There was a very mild bit of confusion between the house cleaner and the previous guest and Rod took care of it immediately. We told him he didn't even have to (it was completely minor), but he did anyway. The place is cozy, perfect for two people, in a great location and has everything you need. Rod is responsive, thoughtful and super-helpful. We loved it and can't wait to return.
Bill2015-06-29T00:00:00ZThe studio is very cozy & comfy. It's a short walk to the beach & General store. Communication was easy. The outdoor shower is fabulous & we definitely would visit again.
Jimmy2015-06-28T00:00:00ZRod is awesome and the place, which I have decided to call the "sailor shack" is fabulous! It's clean, well-appointed with everything you would need on a beach vacation, and the deck is awesome. BIG plusses for the nice grill, outdoor shower and laundry!
Colleen2014-08-12T00:00:00ZRod was very good at communicating with me, especially since there was a small misunderstanding on the cleaning person's end when I arrived. I didn't meet him personally, but he was very nice and available on the phone, and quickly offered to make it up for the issue. Overall my stay was very nice, and I would stay there again!
Sofia2016-06-28T00:00:00ZWe had another great week on fire island. The Paps is a cute studio- somewhat dark for a beach house and very rustic.... but the dutch door lets a great breeze and some light in. The kitchen is equipped with all of your cooking needs, a thorough spice rack and basics like salt and olive oil, gas stove/ oven, full fridge. Strong WiFi connection. The outdoor shower is absolutely fantastic. There were a few kinks in our stay but Rod was extremely responsive and accommodating. Thank you Rod!
Chelsea2016-07-11T00:00:00ZThe whole ethos of Cherry Grove screams, "Love you more", and the island was magically transportive, and just so much fun. Even taking a ferry to the wrong town was an adventure and somehow not stressful at all. I was genuinely touched by everyone's outgoing kindness-especially to my 2 kids. Even the grumpy old lady serving ice-cream in town was oddly charming. All the beach houses are infused with character and Rod's house was just adorable. We had everything we needed, and the outdoor showers are dreamy. We loved having the beach and the town so close, and just strolling the boardwalks. The lack of cars is a huge plus with kids. Rod was the perfect host-so sweet and easy going. I cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend!

The neighborhood, location and exterior are all excellent. Mark is genuine and eager to make any corrections needed. However the room is not a "guest room" . If the weather is good... it is definitely worth the money... If you cannot enjoy the outdoors.. you will do better at a hotel for the same/less money.
Rhoda2016-11-09T00:00:00ZThe place was lovely. Large bathroom, elegant bedroom, and opens to a beautiful view. Plenty of closet space for your items. Mark was easy to communicate with as well.
Ash2016-08-08T00:00:00ZWe had a very pleasant stay in Mark's home! Although we only stayed one night and booked at the last minute, he made sure that it was prepared for our arrival and that we had everything we needed. The house is ideally located for those who want to go to Fire Island and disconnect from the buzz of New York City!
Paul2016-07-17T00:00:00ZWe had the pleasure of staying in Mark's lovely home during the last weekend in July. The home was beautifully appointed and the room was elegant and comfortable with a stunning view of Marks yard, straight out of HGTV. Mark was very easy to communicate with and kept in constant contact with us, ensuring that our needs were met and offer information on the area. Mark was extremely professional and easy to talk to and definitely added to an already wonderful trip. Very close to the Sayville Ferry and all that Fire Island has to offer.
Brandon 2016-08-01T00:00:00ZHad a great time staying at Marks. Was a great host and location was perfect. Will stay again when the time comes, with all the luxurious one could want.
Josh2016-07-19T00:00:00ZHad a great weekend staying here. It is a good alternative to staying out on Fire Island. Mark is a gracious host and I would definitely recommend staying here!
Renee2016-07-27T00:00:00ZPlace was gorgeous, Mark was great! We will definitely visit again soon! Such a beautiful neighborhood.
Pelham2016-09-08T00:00:00ZMark and Kris were very accommodating to me and my little dog. The house and grounds are immaculate. They were both very responsive to requests and are great hosts !

Booking with Titus was hands-down an amazing choice! It was my boyfriend's 1st experience with AirB&B, so he was a bit apprehensive. However, Titus & Eni made it extremely comfortable for the 2 of us, and now we plan to go back in the summer! Titus is a true gentleman and outstanding host. He will make you feel at home the second you walk in the door! You have private access to a large bedroom, living room, bathroom, and huge back yard which is so beautiful & romantic. The backyard: has gorgeous large trees with hammocks, and if you walk further in you will get to a creek where you can kayak! WOW! The bedroom: has a queen sized bed with a great mattress and fresh linens. Titus welcomed us with fresh flowers, fruit, muffins, and a delicious casserole (I forgot to ask for the recipe). Not only that, but Titus gave us a jar with water and lemons for the night- great details! In the morning, we had a delicious breakfast... and the Puerto Rican coffee (from Eni's home town) was out of this world! The bedroom is connected to a large living room: which includes a remote controlled fireplace, large screen tv with access to Netflix, and a sit down shower! We went to get massages an hour away, but ENI DOES MASSAGES TOO! WOW! Had we known that, we would have just booked the massages with her. So, if you go and want to get a spa treatment, you can get it with Eni while you stay there!! that blew my mind :) Overall a great experience! I highly recommend booking with Titus & Eni.
Erika2016-04-05T00:00:00ZTitus and Eni have a beautiful home and garden which they take great care of and pride in. The stream at the back of the property provides a wonderful haven for sitting and watching the ducks (and deer, if you're lucky to see them!). Titus and Eni are warm and welcoming, and their kindness and hospitality really make guests feel at home. We enjoyed their company and conversation over breakfast while watching the amazing birds in their front garden - and trying to photograph them! Their advice about the local area (what to see, where to eat etc) was greatly appreciated, and we enjoyed our stay immensely!
Ali2016-08-21T00:00:00ZTitus and Eni are great hosts. They went out of their ways to help me navigate the area and even picked me /dropped me off at the station. Eni's breakfast are delicious and the space is cozy. I'd definitely staying there!
Camille2016-07-26T00:00:00ZWe had a short visit to the Shore Retreat B&B. Titus and Eni were great hosts and the layout of the rooms was perfect with a separate double bedroom and lounge (with comfy double pull out bed). Great for 2 , 3 or 4 people. The private bathroom was also excellent. All perfectly and tastefully decorated. It was raining when we were there so could only imagine how great the deck, garden and creek-side area would be in summer. This would be a great place to stay several days as there is a lot of outside space to relax in. The breakfast was healthy and delicious. Finally, the location is great, a quiet neighborhood at the end of a small street with no through traffic. Easy to access Fire Island to the west or the Hamptons to the east and only about an hour back to JFK or Brooklyn.
Elisabeth and Robin2016-05-02T00:00:00ZI booked Shores Retreat for a Valentines Day getaway with my boyfriend. We were welcomed with red roses, a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers. Titus went out of his way to make our stay very relaxing and special. The weather was bad outside, but the house was so comfy....we sat by the beautiful fireplace that kept the living and bed rooms toasty warm. We watched a Netflix movie on the large screen tv with surround sound. The queen size bed was just perfect with a really comfortable mattress...we slept so well and woke up to the sound of rain on the roof and smell of coffee and bacon! The breakfast included organic eggs and home made muffins and a special apple cider drink (cold toddy?) . The house is super quiet being at the end of a dead end street and immaculately clean with fresh linens and towels provided. We took a walk down to the creek and even though we are in the winter months, it was a beautiful setting...we caught a glimpse of some ducks swimming by. We can't wait to come back and try out the kayaking or canoeing. We each had a massage to end the visit leaving us feeling very relaxed and wanting more, more, more! We can only say that this is the best place to stay in the area and we have stayed at many.... don't hesitate to book!
Enitza2016-02-17T00:00:00ZLoved it. It was all tastefully furnished with nice art on the walls provided by Titus, a professional photographer. One nice sized queen bed BR, and a living room with fold out sofa that I used for my daughter. There's a separate entrance and a huge TV with Netflix in the LR too. Th outside was the biggest attraction.The landscaping was beautiful, and there were 4 separate private areas where you could hang out - by the water, a hammock in the woods, a furnished fire pit and the main deck. The location was a great leaping off point to visit all parts of Long Island, which is what we were doing. Probably about and hour twenty to Montauk to the east, NYC to the west, and dozens of b=great places to go in between.
Larry2016-04-20T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful stay at Titus beautiful home. Titus and Eni were very warm and welcoming and they gave us great ideas about what to do in the area. We particularly enjoyed bird watching while having breakfast!
Paulina2016-06-15T00:00:00ZMy wife and I stayed two nights at Titus' house. We had a wonderful time. We were warmly greeted by Titus upon our arrival. He gave us a detailed tour of the apartment and the grounds. You can clearly see that he loves his home and enjoys being a host. He does a great job at it. We loved the attention to detail that is conveyed with the fresh flowers in every room and the breakfast that he cooks each morning. The bedroom and the living room were very comfortable and cozy. The one and only issue we had was the seperation between the living room and the kitchen. We felt that we had to speak very low to ensure that our conversation could not be heard by others. Not a real big issue but not an issue for us. We would highly recommend a stay at Titus' house.

Don was extremely accommodating. Room is large and pleasant. Includes TV, wifi, AC, towels - everything I needed. Shower was great also. All you need for a short stay. Great value.
Chris2016-05-27T00:00:00ZGreat comfortable stay, good communication with a friendly atmosphere, would stay here again.
Wendy2017-01-15T00:00:00ZSecond time in Jeff's room. Everything was really nice! We recommend!
Kevin2016-07-23T00:00:00ZDon was great. We were in and out for a wedding and only bumped into him a couple times over our two night stay. All was great but the dog(s) running around upstairs was quite loud so bring some ear plugs. Otherwise, it was great for the price.
Matthew2016-10-17T00:00:00ZJeff's brother, Don, lives in the apartment and was able to receive me for check-in. Don was very nice and helpful.The listing was accurately described. I enjoyed my stay at his place because he was a great host and the neighborhood is very quiet and safe. I would love to stay here again.
Fiorella2016-11-04T00:00:00ZGreat spot, the host was very kind by offering food and anything else I needed, like toiletries. The place was clean and very comfortable. Keep up the good work!

John2016-06-16T00:00:00ZDon was very nice and welcoming me into the room even though I checked in later than I originally expected. I had all the amenities that I needed and had a peaceful night's rest before my interview the following day!

Robert welcomed us to his lovely home and kindly carried our bags to the flat. The bedroom is sumptuously furnished and has a sexy romantic vibe and the very attractive lounge has a pretty balcony just right for sipping some champagne and listening to the birds, glimpsing the shy deer with her fawn, then watching the sun go down. Some days we ate in Patchogue on other occasions we took the ferry to Fire Island, visiting Saltaire, Kismet, the notorious Cherry Grove and the nature trails of Watch Hill each one with a perfect beach. The ferries are a short drive away and it's wonderful to enjoy the sea breeze on a hot day. I'd love to return.
virginia2016-07-02T00:00:00ZThe balcony was wonderful: Coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening out there was a great way to start and end every day. The furnishings (and bed) were comfortable, the size of the place was perfect, and the hosts were friendly. We really appreciated the kitchen being stocked with some treats and extra ice ready for anything we wanted.
Jeanette2016-09-10T00:00:00ZVery friendly , warm and gracious! The accommodations were absolutely beautiful and comfortable! Thank you Robert And of course your wife!
Theresa2016-08-11T00:00:00ZIf you ever get the opportunity to stay at "Above the Bay" - our one word of advice is simple: "GO!" Bob and Kathleen were the perfect hosts! That is not meant as a cliché; it was true. We knew they were there but, equally, we felt as if we had total privacy. The entire experience was amazing. The deck overlooking the bay is nothing less than spectacular. The décor was stunning. Everything we needed was there. Kathleen had very kindly stocked the full-sized fridge with all sorts of welcome goodies ... above and beyond expectations! Even things we had some pre-trip worries about were perfect (example: mosquitos because of the proximity of the water? NONE!) "Above the Bay" is luxurious without being pretentious. Huge TV with loads of channels and fast internet meant we could stay in touch with the world if/when we chose. Everything you need as far as stores and restaurants were within an easy 5-10 minute drive. But, we suggest you stay and watch the boats and wildlife (herons, deer, etc.) from your private deck and feel the stress leave your body! As far as the spiral stairs ... if an 83 year old man and a woman with Parkinson's Disease can handle them ... anyone can. The view is worth the climb! Bob and Kathleen have made a beautiful home for themselves and are sharing it via Air BnB. We felt very fortunate to have found such a fantastic place. It is a terrific base from which to enjoy all that Long Island has to offer, but ... we're warning you of one thing ... you may not want to leave! To quote Kathleen: "Cool!" and Bob "It's all good!" To quote us: "Wow! ... Wonderful!"
Cynthia2016-06-27T00:00:00ZDear Robert and Kathleen , Thank you for allowing us to use your place. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed it very much. The place is beautiful and will designed and kept and being in the area we would rent it again. Regards, Cristina and Corneliu
corneliu2016-09-26T00:00:00ZIn my pre-visit communication with Robert, I let him know that we were solely looking for a place to grab some R&R while passing through for a wedding. For every bit of time we stayed "Above The Bay," or anywhere around the Patchogue area, we got EXACTLY that! Of course NYC is just a stones throw away, Fire Island, The Hamptons, but...Regardless if you LIVE in NYC, or the other side of the world, we would highly recommend this as a great place to "get away." Everything was just as depicted online. Robert was more than hospitable: He called to ensure we knew our way from the airport; Provided recommendations along with directions for local places to visit; Checked in daily to ensure we had everything needed. In fact, the only reason we would NOT recommend this place, is because we don't want it to be booked when we get a chance to come again! :)
Joshua2016-09-07T00:00:00ZKathleen and Robert were very welcoming and gracious hosts. Kathleen welcomed me and showed me the apartment which is on the top level of their beautiful home. She was nice enough to get me extra pots and pans and let me borrow a beach umbrella for my beach day. The apartment looked just like the photos and was very clean. There is a two story spiral staircase so bringing bags up and down might be a challenge for some. Kathleen did offer to help me with my bags when I arrived. The view is gorgeous. You can spend a whole day watching boats from the deck. Very relaxing! The location is great for exploring all of Long Island. Accessible to NYC as well as the Hamptons, Fire Island and the North Fork vineyards. Transaction was very smooth and you can tell that the hosts love sharing their little piece of heaven. They even left me plenty of spring water and some local ale in the fridge. I would definitely go back.
Jen2016-09-13T00:00:00ZIt was a lovely neighborhood in a convenient spot with a perfect view of the harbor and bay. The apartment was comfortable, well-appointed and clean. Our hosts were friendly and helpful–a great place to explore from!

We just returned from a week at tsia's house and had an amazing time. The house is beautiful and practical (we are a family of 4). It is very conveniently located just a few feet from the bay on one side and from the ocean on the other side. The area is very friendly and very safe. Our young kids were walking around everywhere independently! We loved it there. Tsia is very responsive and very accommodating. Highly recommend!
Emilie2016-06-26T00:00:00ZWe just returned from a one week long stay at Tsia's house on Fire Island and we all had an amazing time! This is a beautifully designed, bright and spacious house accommodating us and our two kids (plus a few family visitors) perfectly. Tsia was an absolute pleasure, offering information about the area and answering questions. We can't wait to stay there again in the future!
Benjamin2012-07-07T00:00:00ZTsia's Beach House is beautiful and comfortable. A group of girlfriends and I stayed for a week and had the best time! It is a perfect place to stay for a beach vacation. Tsia' house has everything you need for the beach (towels, chairs, umbrellas), the kitchen is stocked with appliances, flatware, plates/bowls. The deck and bbq are perfect for lounging. Tsia herself was wonderful and available for our questions. Highly recommend staying here!
Brigid2016-07-19T00:00:00ZTsia is a wonderful host and her 'Modern Beach House' made my family vacation an absolute pleasure. The home is situated on a tranquil section of Fire Island (as described) and the additional ammenities offered by Tsia only made it easier to relax and enjoy my time with my family.

Lisa is the best host I have had yet with my air bnb experiences. She was super sweet, accommodating, even offered us to join in on some wine tasting when available but we were always passing by so we missed out. The room was cute and cozy, private, on a nice secluded dead end in a quiet area. The horses on the property were a really nice touch to the experience! Would definitely stay at Lisa's place again, felt like home to me :)

Richard2017-03-06T00:00:00ZLisa's place was great! The entire family greeted me upon arrival and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. They even offered some wine tastings! She was very friendly and offered to take me back into the barn to meet Rosie and Suzy. Beautiful horses and it was nice to get the chance to meet them. There was also a neighborhood cat (Mittens) that comes around and hangs out on the back porch. I woke up early one morning and saw him around so got the chance to pet him before heading out for the day. Comfortable bed and shower as well. Lisa provided everything I needed and more. I will definitely be back!

We've only used Airbnb a few times so we didn't know what a SuperHost was. Dan and Fab showed us. From nice cold water with lemons when we arrived, to sage advice, they were Super. Their home is a beautiful refuge of peace and quiet. The sound of a swan taking off across the lake, the giant wings making a strange racket, might have been the loudest thing I heard. They made us feel welcome in every way. My husband particularly appreciated the coffee set-up. Fab told me about kayaking on Carmen's River so I rented a kayak up there. The boat and paddle had much to be desired, but the scenery didn't. I'm so glad I got to get out on the water. Thanks for that tip, Fab!
Cassandra2016-10-20T00:00:00ZFab and Dan were very inviting. They got us acquainted with the town, made great suggestions for food, and gave us the privacy we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and residential only about a mile away from Main Street in Patchogue. I mentioned that it was my girlfriend's birthday and they got her a card and balloon! If you happen to be visiting Patchogue for Fire Island stay with Fab and Dan.
Harrison2016-06-05T00:00:00ZThey were very welcoming to their lovely home and we couldn't have asked for better. They advised where the best places to eat & they provided good quality & various different hot drinks & cold. The room was comfortable and it was a shame we couldn't have spent longer there. The view of the lake & being able to have breakfast outside was amazing & so relaxing. We cannot wait to go back again when we are next over from England.
Paula2016-07-06T00:00:00ZWe had a perfect stay in a wonderful house with an amazing lake view! Fab&Dan are really lovely & helpful hosts and we highly recommend this beautiful place to enjoy Long Island. :)
Leena2016-07-05T00:00:00ZThe only bad thing was that we stayed for only one night. I wish we had more time to enjoy the house and the area. The house is just amazing, big, very well kept and with the most amazing view of the lake. But the best thing of all were Deb and Dan. Such great hosts with a lot to share and plenty of advises about the area. Super nice warm while giving you your space and privacy. Would recommend this place to anybody. 10 out of 10.
Elena2016-10-25T00:00:00ZMy first visit to Long Island was made extra special with my stay at Fab and Dan's beautiful home. I stayed in the Barcelona room on the second floor with amazing views in two directions to their gorgeous backyard and private neighborhood lake. Plenty of closet space with an adjacent bathroom with numerous bath products. After my arrival, Fab and Dan showed me around their home pointing out all the features and amenities. We sat under their backyard gazebo chatting while admiring the dynamic lake view. I immediately began to relax which was perfect after my drive from NYC. Their home is very close to all of the surrounding restaurants, activities, beach and ocean. I will definitely stay with Fab and Dan when my travels take me to Long Island!
Martin2016-06-24T00:00:00ZWhile our stay was short, Fab & Dan made us feel 100% at home. They were welcoming, accommodating and took a lot of pride in their beautiful home. We look forward to staying again should the occasion arise. - Danielle & Jon
Danielle2016-10-12T00:00:00ZOur weekend with Fab and Dan could not have been more pleasurable! They were the perfect hosts, engaging us in wonderful conversations, sitting with us on their beautiful outdoor patio that overlooks a lake, with ducks and swans! Just absolutely perfect! The accommodations were exactly as described; and so clean and well kept. The neighborhood was beautiful; it was just an amazing experience, made even better by the graciousness of Fab and Dan. We cannot wait to return to this special room, on the tranquil lake!

Craig made it super easy to stay at his place. Highly recommend!
Forest2016-04-10T00:00:00ZCute apartment, spotlessly clean! Apartment has everything you need - towels, toiletries, extra pillows + blanket, coffee + toaster, etc. Craig also has very useful maps, information pamphlets, areas of interest, etc. Great location too! It was a pleasant, easy 15-20 minute walk to the Patchogue train station and Blue Point Brewery, which was the reason for our trip. Craig was easy to contact, and since we arrived late, he left the keys in a lockbox. We had a great stay, and would definitely recommend it!
Monica2016-01-20T00:00:00ZGreat place, clean and a short cab ride to the town area. Craig was also a very responsive and helpful host.
Chris2016-11-28T00:00:00ZThis worked out great as a home base for a beach getaway! The place was clean and Craig was forthcoming with all necessary info. Blue Point Bar and Grille is a short walk away. Ferry and train station are accessible via a quick cab ride. Hope to come back!
John2016-08-04T00:00:00ZCraig's cozy studio apartment was perfect for our stay. My husband , 10 month old baby girl and I spent two nights there. We brought our baby's pack n play for her to sleep in and it was fine, we had enough room for the 3 of us! It had everything we needed, we didn't even bring beach towels, they were all ready and packed in a beach bag ready to go! I didnt actually meet Craig but he was always available if needed. All instructions were very clear and well explained, and we didn't need to look around for any info, everything was on hand, from the wifi code to fire island ferry schedules. I recommend anyone to follow Craig's recommendations for food or things to do. Very good advice. His home was very clean and welcoming I highly recommend him as a host and his home as a place to stay.
chloe2015-09-04T00:00:00ZExactly as described, great stay.
Michaela2016-07-06T00:00:00ZCraig is awesome! Place is clean and cozy! Definitely recommend :)
Fallon2016-06-14T00:00:00ZCraig was very accommodating of our arrival time and was quick to respond to any questions we had. His apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was the perfect place to rest for a night.

John made us feel welcome. The apartment was perfect. The garden was lush and private. The location was steps to a magnificent beach. We will definitely return.
Renna2016-08-19T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay in John's studio apartment, it is extremely well located and he was very helpful and welcoming. And the garden is so relaxing and peaceful. -There were a few creature comforts that for the price would have been nice to have, such as better pillows, real wine glasses and clean coffee cups, etc...but overall we were very comfortable and well looked after after. This is not a luxury apartment, but rather quite bohemian, which we appreciate. And the host is a talented piano player, although played only once while we were there (right upstairs), just as we were packing to leave.
Anthony2015-08-15T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful time at John's apt. It is perfect, charming and small, but with everything you could possibly need. John is lovely, and easy to communicate with. The apt truly is steps away from the most beautiful stretch of beach. I look forward to staying here again in the future!
Karen2016-05-22T00:00:00ZVery friendly hosts, exactly as described. It was a great stay. Thank you!
Sharon2016-07-18T00:00:00ZPerfect location. Very quiet & private. Front deck is a great hangout space. John oriented us to the place and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed it enough to book a return for the following week!
Ben2016-08-06T00:00:00ZBeautiful place very close to the beach! John and his wife were so welcoming and responsive if we ever needed anything. The apartment was clean and prepped (as well as well equipped with any necessities forgotten) for our arrival and was a perfect size. The apartment was well located with just a few minutes walk from the dock and the beach was right down the block. All the amenities were there that we could possibly need. We made great use of the grill and the patio in front of the apartment. John was very informative and communicative when we had questions before our arrival. We had a great time and hope to come back next summer. Excellent hosts! Definitely recommend it for a relaxing stay in Fire Island.
Manon2015-09-15T00:00:00ZReally lovely space for a weekend getaway. Easy walk to the harbor and to the beach, and very comfortable.
Dan2016-06-20T00:00:00ZJohn was very warm and friendly and made sure we felt at home as soon as we got there. The best part of the studio is how private yet spacious it is with the lovely garden and back porch. We had an amazing time and were close enough to the beach to make several trips to it daily. Will definitely consider coming back to this place again. Thank you John!

Glenn was so nice and welcomed me. If you're looking for a fun and chill air-bnb weekend stay, this is it. The house is very authentic mid century and the location couldn't be better. I really enjoyed my weekend and would stay there again any time.
Michael 2015-09-07T00:00:00ZMy two nights at Modernist in the Pines were a pleasure, and exactly what I wanted: an affordable, comfortable, easy way to enjoy Fire Island Pines. The location (five minutes from the harbor, two from the beach) could hardly be better. The atmosphere in the house was relaxed and unfussy; the owner, Glenn, was highly agreeable; and I enjoyed the company of the other guests. It's a pretty house, designed by the famous Fire Island architect Horace Gifford; it was recently opened as a guesthouse and improvements are still being made, but I had everything I needed to make for a very happy, too-brief stay. I appreciated the feeling of paying a reasonable price for a lovely beachhouse experience, including my rustic but clean bedroom and the beautiful sound of the waves to fall asleep to. I will return without hesitation.
James2015-09-02T00:00:00ZRooms were clean and cozy. I found the padlocks to be tricky. Because of the placement of the locks, you are not able to close the screen the entire way. You either have to leave the screen partially open and get eaten up by mosquitoes or close the glass door all the way. I chose the latter because it was chilly. And the kitchen area could've been a bit nicer it was clean, but lots of guest use shows its wear and the smell there indicates some mold. Overall, it was a nice quiet visit. I appreciate Glenn being available via text pretty readily.
Edward2016-09-30T00:00:00ZGlenn was great! Thanks for letting us stay at the place. Had a blast in Fire Island. If you're looking for an affordable spot near the Pier, definitely go with this.
George2016-08-02T00:00:00ZModernist in the Pines is a wonderful place where to spend a few days. Rooms are well equipped, elegant, clean and stylish; they are part of a complex built by Fire Island Modernist architect Horace Gifford. Every detail is perfect. The house is very close to the harbour and a stone thrown away from the beach. Glenn is warm, helpful, super friendly. Any request from his guests is immediately addressed. At the end, I think there is no better place where to stay at the Pines.
Roberto2015-09-24T00:00:00ZCentrally located, between beach and harbor.
J.F.2016-09-02T00:00:00Zthe room is great, well located in the island, super recommend to stay at Glenn's place!
Joana2016-07-20T00:00:00ZGlenn was super nice! He was very responsive and whenever we needed something he was there to help and make suggestion. Thank you for the wonderful stay, Glenn!

Going camping when you are pregnant, and sick with young children, in bear country, during several rainstorms is not for the faint of heart, or the intelligent. ;) I am not sure this was our best idea, however, that being said, we did have several wonderful moments on our trip and I know Brandon and Grant will never forget the fun memories we made.
Our camp site was beautiful. The boys were positively thrilled to help set-up camp. :)
After we got our camp set up we went to Old Faithful the boys could not get enough of the lodge, they thought everything was amazing. :)
The boys were even more excited about watching Old Faithful erupt. They are still talking about it and working it into all of their play times. :)
The next morning we woke up very early so that we could drive to the "Serengetti of America" (Lamar Valley) and look for animals. We had very little luck. We did get to see a decent-sized heard of bison as we were leaving, and the boys were thrilled to pet a few horses. :)
The boys were so cute as they tried to spy animals through their binoculars.
Following Lamar Valley, which with or without animals is lovely, we went to see the petrified tree, a tree that has turned to stone. It was interesting, but I do wish we could have touched it. :)
One of our favorite places was Mammoth Valley, so interesting looking. We had a great lunch at the Terrace Grill and then walked up to see Mammoth Terrace, and we hoped and prayed that the rain would stay at bay while we were out. And for the most part it did, we were able to see many beautiful things, and just as we were finished we were hit with an epic hail storm. We ran as quick as we could for the shelter of a tree because the hail was the size of marbles. It was painful and we were soaked, but it was exciting; Jared and I have never seen hail so large. :)
There was no cell service in most of the park, so Wyn and Dee Ann who were vacationing in West Yellowstone with Ann Dee and Megan, came to find us, they did just as we pulled into our camp. It was raining, but our tent was working marvelously at keeping the rain out, :) so we decided to stick it out and begin dinner, just as Wyn and Dee Ann were leaving the clouds cleared and sunshine dried everything up. We fixed dinner, hot dogs, and dessert, raspberry cobbler. While we were finishing dinner one of camping neighbors came over to borrow our ax, as he came back to return it he over heard me mention that we were going to need more briquettes so he brought over a large and nearly full bag for us as well as a great pile of wood all 2X4's around 2' long. The boys were thrilled! I intentionally did not bring any toys for our trip, and this firewood proved to be great entertainment for the rest of the week. :) We then offered our neighbors some cobbler and had so much fun chatting with them.
Then Jared went fly fishing on the Madison River (dream come true for him :)) and the boys and I had lots of fun cleaning up camp - I am not being sarcastic, we really did have a lot of fun. Doing the dishes in a tiny room with nothing but a sink, was comical, and they loved "helping". Then we set off to see Jared fishing. If you look closely Jared is just above Grant's head, a tiny white dot. :)Our camping neighbors got a much better picture of Jared, but I don't know if you will be able to see it as well. There was a rainbow which ended on top of the hill right above Jared's head while he was fishing. I love the picture, and was so grateful for our new friends for taking it for us.
When the fog had completely cleared, we drove further into the valley to see several bison. We parked our car in a large pull out and bison were everywhere, far too close to get out of the car, but the boys could not see very well in their car seats so we let them climb through the sun roof and sit on top of the car. I don't know what they were more excited about sitting on top of the car or watching the bison who were very active (mating season and all) they were running around, head butting each other, and very noisy. :)
Then we stopped at the mud volcano which also had the Dragon's Mouth. This was likely Brandon's favorite geyser. :) For the rest of the walk around the other geysers he narrated stories of dragons which lived in each of the geyser pits, and renamed each geyser to dragon names. :) Anyone near by was entertained and amused by his stories. :)
After the geysers we had lunch at the Yellowstone Lake Lodge and then we went to the lake to play. The boys were thrilled. They stripped down to their shorts in no time and would have spent the rest of the day there, but it was cold and began raining again.
I love their faces, oh to be little again. :)
That night it began raining lots while we were in our tent, so we brought our new blocks in and the boys built all sorts of fun things for their stuffed animals. :)
The next morning we slept in - sort of ;) and then made a full breakfast; pancakes, eggs, and bacon. It was challenging cooking in the rain, but we did it and then we ate in the back of the car. :)
After breakfast we went to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. I love this place, it is truly beautiful!!!!! We hiked down to the brink of the Lower Falls. It was so cool and the boys were great sports.
Then we drove to one of the look out points and had so much fun looking at the nesting osprey as well as the falls, they are amazing!!
Love my cute boys!!
Following the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone we drove back towards Lamar Valley in the hopes of seeing some animals. We had very little luck, but while we were there, our cell phone finally had coverage and we got a text message from our dogs babysitter telling us that Pete had run away the night before and was still missing. Not a message you want to receive. Jared felt we should head home right away because we were the most likely to find him and have him come to us. I felt we should finish our trip and our promise to take the boys fishing, because too much time had passed since Pete ran away. So we compromised and decided to pack up our camp, head to Island Park, take the boys fishing and the Jared would drive straight home afterwards. (not something I was looking forward too, 6 plus hours in the car with small children who would be cranky the whole way, yuck)
Being back at the cliffs in Island Park was therapy, it was like going home, especially for Jared who went there often with his brother, father, grandfather, and brother-in-law. The boys had a great time even if they didn't catch any fish, but we did have a lot of fun watching a pair of beavers swim around. :)
We finished fishing got in the car to drive home and I got a text that they had found Pete and he was home safe. YEAH!!!!!! Once again I believe in prayer!!!! I am tremendously grateful for the many, many people in our ward and neighborhood who spent their whole day looking for Pete for us. They are our hero's!! Knowing that Pete was home safe we decided to continue our vacation, but we were not up for setting up the tent and everything else again, so we went to Ponds and hoped they would have something available. They did, YEAH! It was a cabin which would sleep 10 and it cost $120.00 for the night, that was pretty high, but I was so ready for a shower and real bed that I didn't care. Then I saw the place and felt a little like I had been robbed. The ceilings and walls were covered in particleboard, the bed and the couches were shredding, one of the sinks did not drain, I find that out the hard way (yucky morning sickness!) there were holes in one of the doors, one of the other doors was missing the door knob, the floors were chipping and missing pieces, I suspect they were in the process of remodeling. Despite all of the less then desirable arrangements, it was wonderful to be able to have running water, a shower, and beds, as well as a fridge and microwave. :)
The next morning we took the boys to the place where Jared proposed to me and told them the whole story . They seemed to really enjoy it. :) Then we let the boys throw rocks in the water. They were in heaven. :) Jared taught me how to skip rocks. :) I have never been able to skip rocks, so this was really exciting for me. :)
Then we took the boys to Big Springs to see the big fish. They were thrilled, and the springs are simply beautiful!! The water is as clear as the Caribbean. :)
We had a great lunch at Macks Inn and enjoyed watching people row up and down the lake. Brandon even spotted a bald eagle flying over head; so very cool!! After lunch we went to one of Jared's other favorite fishing spots, but it was taken over by people tubing and playing in the water, so we decided not to fish and play in the water instead. So fun. The boys had a great time watching the fish swim around their feet and walking from one side of the river to the other. :) Brandon even spotted a red tailed hawk flying around. He was on a roll on this day. :)
Then we went back to the cliffs for one last round of fishing. This time we saw the beavers, an osprey, and a groundhog. :) Best of all we did catch a fish, or rather Jared did, it was a very good size fish - 2-3 pounds, the boys were delighted and Jared was very pleased. Then after a very fun and very long day we headed back to Wyn and Dee Ann's condo in Idaho Falls.
Oh it was so very good to be surround in so many creature comforts. I love camping, I really really love being out in nature, I even like roughing it, I love how clear life is, however it is always so very good to return back to what I am comfortable with. :)
The next morning we let the boys have a bath in the big Jacuzzi tub, they thought that was terrific!!
Then we went to the zoo with Jill and Dave, Ryan and Violet and their three children. It was a fun outing. Then Jared helped Dave and Ryan move a lot of the furniture from Wyn and Dee Ann's place, while the rest of us supervised the children. We were exhausted by the time we were finished, but we had promised to take the boys swimming, and Jared so loves swimming, that we went anyway. Of course it was a lot of fun. Brandon learned how to keep his head under water for a while, and Brandon and Grant began to have enough courage to swim a bit on their own (with the aid of the swimming noodles. :) )
All in all it was a great vacation, hard work, very, very hard work, but still so much fun and the memories we made were priceless!!! :)

Sony shares at their lowest since 1980
Hard times continue for Sony is that today, its shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange recorded a loss that put them in the lowest level not seen since the eighties.
The Actions of the Japanese company came down for months but today was the last straw when at the close of business, each share of Sony worth just under $ 996 JPY equivalent to USD $ 12.72. Five years ago, each share of JPY cost Sony $ 7,000 – almost $ 90 – and in 2000 reached $ 33.500 JPY price of what today would be USD $ 427.
The losses , as we know is due to low sales in the TV industry as well as in other areas. To this is added the bags generally behaved badly during today, amid fears that the U.S. economy is weakening, that growth in China is reduced, since the European crisis worse. Also, the value of the yen is at its highest point since November 2000. The yen's rise affects sales of the Japanese company.
Will tonight at the E3 conference achieved an announcement to halt the decline of their actions? Sony expected this fiscal year to have some profit.

As a content marketer, you have so much of the planning and execution phases in your control. You drive forward, setting up tasks to be done and milestones to be hit, and then knocking them down one by one. You have a tangible feeling of accomplishment and momentum. Everything's running on time. The finish line is in view. You can almost taste victory when BAM! You hit the wall – the review and approval phase.
Suddenly, that feeling of accomplishment is gone. Momentum: gone. Your delivery date: blown. Instead, you feel like your coffee has been spiked and reality is tumbling in slow motion out of your grasp. Your once-vibrant, healthy project has mutated into a delayed, unrecognizable mess.Continue Reading

The advent word for the day is work. So I sat down to do some of my office work today and the computer decided to update and restart. Two and a half hours later, I had reached this page. My day of work was not going the way I had planned for it to go. I was going to get the bulletin done and work on why I choose the topic I did. But my computer decided that I could not use it. I had to wait. I had to approach the topic a different route. I had to actually pull out my paper bible and look up the passage with paper rather than a couple of clicks. I couldn't just jump to googling my key words to see what blogs, sermons, images came up. Instead I had just the words from my bible. I had to sit with the words first. Rather than using google for inspiration I had to stop and approach my task differently. I will admit that I really wanted those new features now and not later. I was frustrated and annoyed. While I worked my way into a new manner of working, I really longed for my computer to be back.
I was pushed into a little Sabbath rest. I had time to reflect on what happened on Sunday and think about how we could take the theme further. I had time to rest with the words and themes.
2And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. Genesis 2:2-3Granted my Sabbath lasted for 2 hours. It was a nice chance to slow down with God's word. To just dream. But then the computer was back and work moved in its normally manner. ALthough not very manic.

South Korean Company Samsung has come up with Galaxy J7 Prime smartphone.
The Galaxy J7 Prime has all-metal unibody plan – top and base closures being plastic with brushed metal complete to suit the radio wires – with bended 2.5D glass on the front. The smartphone has a unique finger impression scanner.
The level back board and adjusted corners make this 5.5-crawl telephone less demanding to handle and work. It can be a smidgen dangerous furthermore being all-metal means, the Galaxy J7 Prime accompanies a non-removable back cover, and clearly a non-removable battery. That is a little cost to pay for all that premium looks you're getting. Fabricate quality is extraordinary, which is again a major break from Samsung's past J-arrangement telephones which were generally terrible and awkward in such manner. At 167 grams, it is a little on the heavier side of things and at 8mm it is additionally effortlessly among the slimmest telephones in and around its value class.
The J7 Prime accompanies a 5.5-crawl Full-HD IPS LCD show with a 1080×1920 pixels determination which generally means 401 ppi pixel thickness. The telephone has recently the appropriate measure of pixels, without going over the edge, which implies it has a charmingly sharp show and great review edges. There's no choice to physically remedy the shading immersion, however the telephone gives you an Outdoor Mode choice to physically up the telephone's splendor levels for when you're out in direct daylight.
The screen of the J7 Prime is truly brilliant, brighter than most telephones in and around its value class. Samsung is not utilizing an AMOLED board here, which implies, hues don't really wind up popping out from all corners yet then, on the positive side, the J7 Prime boats with a more unbiased shading palette which is mitigating to the eyes.
The J7 Prime runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow-based TouchWiz UI. It is still a long way from immaculate, the TouchWiz, yet at any rate Samsung is making a decent attempt to eliminate bloat or undesirable applications now like never before. It's protected to say that it's moving in the right heading. Programming inside the J7 Prime is an entirely standard Samsung undertaking, however what sets its J-arrangement telephones separated from its different telephones is an arrangement of additional items that it fuses to make the life of a normal client more "creative" and 'important'. In any event, that is the thing that Samsung calls it.
The Galaxy J7 Prime is controlled by a 1.6GHz octa-center Exynos 7870 processor clubbed with 3GB RAM and 16GB of interior memory which is further expandable by up to 256GB by means of microSD card. The double SIM telephone bolsters 4G LTE (VoLTE-prepared) and USB OTG. The telephone accompanies isolate openings for two SIM cards and one microSD.
The J7 Prime is an extremely skilled entertainer, led by a mid-run processor (worked by Samsung itself) which additionally concentrates on proficiency and 3 gigs of RAM that can be a significant modest bunch at its value point.
The Galaxy J7 Prime has a 13-megapixel camera on the back with f/1.9 gap, self-adjust and LED streak. On the front you get a 8-megapixel camera, likewise with LED streak.

Custom Fire Truck Chassis
E-ONE offers four custom chassis – the Quest®, Cyclone®, Typhoon® and the HS. Whichever E-ONE cab you choose, you can have confidence that it is designed with a structural cage that provides maximum protection and comfort for you and your firefighters. Structural extrusions including sub-frames, a full flange wishbone frame rail, center uprights, and crossbeam extrusions are engineered for optimum performance. Horizontal and vertical supports handle severe vertical loads, which can occur in accidents. The perimeter skin material is made of 3/16" aluminum alloy sheet for extra toughness.
The unique E-ONE HS chassis removes the engine from the cab to provide more room in the front and back for personnel, endless storage options, and industry-leading audible and visual communication. Utilizing a rear-engine concept originally launched decades ago with the Hush® by E-ONE, the engine in the HS is located at the rear of the truck – but that's the only similarity to the original Hush.
The Quest® cab is designed to be stronger, more spacious, comfortable and user-friendly with an expansive front windshield for increased visibility. The power mirrors, windows, locks and pedals add comfort and flush doors for improved ergonomics. From the tread plate aluminum roof to the extruded lattice sub frame, the E-ONE Quest has been engineered to bet the new benchmark in custom chassis construction. The Quest offers three vista roof heights: 12", 16" and 20".
The Cyclone cab offers four cab lengths, 2 to 4 doors, multiple seating configurations and various internal storage options. Cyclone cabs are also available with command cabs, enclosed top-mount cabs, walk-through cabs, and low travel height aerial cabs. This custom cab also offers numerous ALS compartment layouts, barrier doors, bumper options and lighting packages. Whether it's a 10.25" c-channel frame pumper or the exclusive integral torque box chassis, the Cyclone offers one of the best handling chassis in the industry. The Cyclone is available in four cab lengths – 44.5", 58", 67.5" or 80" – and three vista roof heights – 12" 16" or 20".
The Typhoon® chassis boasts the same proven roll-cage cab design as all E-ONE custom chassis but, through pre-engineered models and options, offers an affordable custom chassis for budget-conscious departments. The Typhoon offers three cab lengths, multiple seating configurations, various internal storage options, lighting packages and three vista roof heights. Engine choices encompass an impressive range of up to 450-HP with the 3000 series Allison transmission.

Where Tellurium Q Came From
People have been asking how Tellurium Q® came about and what we are doing to make our products work so differently from what is currently available. This has caused us problems because there are trade secrets and production methodologies that we definitely do not want to share with our competitors. I think that sometimes we are too much on the side of caution and that causes reviewers and our distributors a little problem. What do they say? What is the story to give our customers, a hook, a reason to listen when there are so many companies claiming big things? Why should people believe that we have a genuinely different approach? Yes a client can hear this is true within seconds of listening but the big problem is giving people a reason to want to listen having not yet heard the cable. In the UK this is not such a big problem as more and more people are giving their feedback to their friends and Tellurium Q® is spreading rapidly by word of mouth as much as from the remarkable reviews.

Data Sharing With Health Partners Using the New Exchange Network Browser EN 2012 Conference
Everyone knows this map!
What about this one?
Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) The ongoing collection, integration, interpretation, and dissemination of data from environmental hazard monitoring, human exposure and health effects surveillance. CDC and States building a data sharing Network. Standardized information is shared and made available on the National and state/local public portals. Secure portals exist for non-public data. Some States provide content in addition to the nationally consistent data measures.
National Tracking Network Portal
The Nationally Consistent Data Measures on the Tracking Network Air Quality Asthma Birth Defects Cancer Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Childhood Lead Poisoning and Age of Housing Community Drinking Water Myocardial Infarctions (Heart Attacks) Vital Statistics/Reproductive Health Outcomes
New Jersey's Portal
In addition to the National Data Measures, New Jersey shares Expanded Air Quality Monitoring Data Private Well Water Testing Results Site Cleanup Groundwater, Soil and Air Sampling Radon Monitoring Results Ambient Air Radiation Monitoring Data These flows were built to meet Exchange Network standards and are posted on the EN Website for reuse by any partner. So if you are an EPHT state or just want to share this data, the flows are available.
New Jersey DEP uses the Exchange Network Browser to share data with its health partner NJDEP makes all of its EPHT data available to its Health partner on the EN Browser so they can query and access data whenever they want it.
The Browser is a Shared Network tool built by EPA and ECOS to provide data discovery and access to Exchange Network flows Hopefully you saw Mike Matsko's presentation on the Browser yesterday because we don't have time to go over this now
Why use the Exchange Network Browser? Shared Network Tool – you don't have to build or host anything! Just publish your data and it will be available to your data consumers – online in an easy to use tool. Opportunity for collaboration and data sharing among environmental and health partners – providing access to data for better decision making.

Later this morning, we expect Ofcom to publish its conclusions following a seven-month review of the digital communications market it announced in July 2015, including asking the big question about whether Openreach (the BT division responsible for the 'last mile' of cable from the telephone exchange to the street cabinet and then into your home) should be restructured to make it independent from BT Plc. BT Retail competitors including Sky and TalkTalk have submitted their views calling for more regulation to help them influence Openreach's product roadmap and roll out more fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services.
Ofcom is considering options ranging from the current 'functional separation' model where Openreach remains part of BT Group but its dealings with BT are regulated to ensure fair access to its services to BT Retail's competitors, to complete separation of Openreach into its own company, independent of BT Group. It is worth noting that Ofcom has no formal powers to require such action, however they can refer BT/Openreach to the Competition & Markets Authority and its views will likely carry significant weight in any CMA investigation.
Options Ofcom is likely to consider include:
What BT and companies such as Sky cannot agree on, is whether full separation of the businesses would lead to more or less investment within Openreach. Two days ago, Gavin Patterson, chief executive of BT Group announced at Mobile Word Congress that BT was planning to spend a further £1bn into upgrading infrastructure.
The BT offer suggests a possible middle ground and may signal Ofcom may not go after full separation, however we would not be surprised to see one of the less radical solutions of additional monitoring/regulation or some further safeguards and separation of governance roles being recommended with a monitoring provision to re-evaluate its effectiveness within a reasonable timeframe, before a decision is taken on whether this intervention was sufficient to satisfy the regulator that the market was operating effectively, or whether full divestment was required.
There is no question the 'last mile' infrastructure is the major challenge especially, but not exclusively, in rural areas which presents a natural monopoly situation. Many smaller operators have expressed concerns about planning investment into areas, only to find Openreach coming in soon after eroding their margins.
As we near the magic '90% superfast' target the UK government has set (using its '24Mbps or faster' definition which stands at 89.4% at present), the debate will be moving both to address the Universal Service Obligation speed of 10Mbps as well as rollout of faster-than-superfast through G.FAST, GPON and FTTH technologies.
If Ofcom were to recommend to change nothing or completely separate Openreach from BT, we would expect to see legal challenges in the coming months and years from either BT or its major competitors, which in itself could present a significant hurdle to additional investment amidst uncertainty on returns, overshadowing the negotiations on USO coverage later this year.

Im a Beck fan. Im convinced that he is doing America an enormous service. Beyond that, this Beck video clip, linked here at NRB is a must see. Really. Go watch it before you even read this. Excellent stuff.
That said and I trust youve seen the video now no cheating during the course of that monologue, speaking of Israel and the Arabs, Beck repeated an error that one frequently hears about matters in the Middle East, and which just frosts my tail.
It may be possible that the idea of religious war, of holy war in the sense that we understand it today, may have been introduced to Europes conceptual vocabulary by the encounter with the Arabs. That holy war, war specifically for the faith, war for the purpose of spreading an ideology, or its dominance an idea the 20th century became all too familiar with may be a uniquely Mohammedan, and Arab, invention, as of 632 AD.
There is just too much evidence that something else, something bigger, is going on.
Islam is at war everywhere it exists. If there are non-muslims within reach, they'll war with them. If there aren't any handy, then they will slaughter one another.
The only peace in the middle east is the peace that exists within Israel's borders, and that is under attack each and every day.
If you "have a bone to pick with Beck"; why don't you email him and tell him what your gripe is or call his radio show.
If you need a web address or phone number, use google.
Granted, the Ashkenazim do stick out, but as far as the Mizrachi Jews, you can't tell them apart from Arabs.
In fact, the Arabs frequently take advantage of this for infiltration purposes.
Biblically, they all come from the same father.
Blog pimpin'...
I suggest you do your own research, and pimp your blog somewhere else.
This blog by Joe Blough goes all over the map with enough trivialities to sink a ship. As try as I could, I never could figure out just what this bone Blough had to pick. He failed in my mind to keep his focus on the bone.
He get's about a gazillion emails every day. He's a stand up guy, but there's no reason to think he would notice an email from mw.
In fact, my posting something like this is much more likely to be noticed by his staff.
Like I said, I'm a fan. But I don't have illusions about how likely he is to notice what I say.
Well, I did myown research. And that is what I concluded.
But do you think I'm wrong?
Badabing! Have a cigar!
Sorry about that.
Thought I had the focus centered on the reality of jihad vs the mistaken notion of local middle-eastern ethinc squabbling.
There's a good deal of historical material to support my position.
Sorry I didn't afford you a better read.
Seems to me I read this at David Horowitz's one week ago. I see that you're the same author, so welcome to Free Republic! It can be rather tough when you post your own columns, even when the columns are meritorious.
Thanks very much for the kind words. Thank you even more for reading, not to mention remembering,
I'm actually not sure why the editors decided to repost the piece, I have to assume that they think that there is interest out there in the subject. They're pretty bright characters by and large.
It was on that basis that I decided that maybe I ought to stick it out here on FR.
But enough about boring me. Beck is a fascinating guy.
My hope is that somebody on his staff will look into the history on this matter and clue him in to the real deal.
I will vanish in the flood of history. But Beck will get a footnote somewhere. I simply want to help him get it right.
Abd even more than that I want US, the American people, to get it right.
The course of world history depends to a shocking extent on the common understanding of the common American. Thank god we have a secure basis in logic and reason.
You've made a fast friend in me: you make the same typo I make: "Abd" for "and"...LOL.
Glenn Beck is a busy man, but he shuld strive for accuracy and his staff should take an keen interest in your email. He has has new site now, THE BLAZE and perhaps his managing editor might be another useful contact. IIRC correctly, his name is Scott Baker.
Good luck and best wishes with your writing!
I think Beck just like O'Reilly are doing more of a service to their wallets that anything else, they've become to much in love with themselves.With so many important things going on in the world that they could report on, they spend way to much time patting each other on the back
Classifying Islam as a religion is the equivalent of affording the same courtesy to Hitler's concept of Ayrian Supremecy. Affording reverential respect toward the Qur'an is the equivalent of doing the same toward Mein Kampf.
The violent nature of Islam is proof that it is not a religion, but only a terribly fallable ideology. If its concepts contained elementary truth, it would not be necessary to spread the ideology by the sword in the beginning or today or tomorrow.
Yeah, Satan.
Are you saying that the Judeo part of our Judeo-Christian values is evil? That our allies, the Jews, are Satan's children and no different from the members of the "religion of peace?"
As a Christian, you should know better than to say that Satan is the father of the Jews.
WoW That came out of nowhere.
Care to explain before you get the zot. Any last words?
>>Biblically, they all come from the same father.<<
All from the same father? Are you not familiar with the split between Esau and Jacob?
Perhaps this from the Bible will help you get started.
"Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."Romans 9:13
Islam is a political system. I'd rather read what you had to say than Joe's unfocused blog that fails to nail it down like you did.
"Islamic traditions consider Ishmael as the ancestor of Arab people,"
When Sarah conceived Yisack(Issac) then he became the father of the Jewish people.
As far as Jacov and Esau, Esau(the red) split from the Jewish people and became the father of the northern people. That is, northern Europe.
But this, of course, is all just theological conjecture and can be interpreted multiple ways. But, both in Islam and in Judaism is is accepted that both Jews and Arabs came from Abraham but originated by different mothers.
It is funny that even the 'Satan' woman came from the same father according to traditional religious theology. So, I guess her father is 'Satan' too. LoL
Jewish texts refer to Esau/Edom as Rome and its inheritor, Western Civilization. Ishmael is referenced as Islam. It's a question of culture and spiritual inclinations rather than DNA.
Probably a reference to John 8:44 "Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do." Popular with Christian Identity-types.
Yes, exactly.
The roots of the Israeli/Jewish and Arab/Muslim go way back to Abraham-Sarha and Abraham-Hagar. Mohammed of Hagar really started the fuss with the acts/teachings of the Koran. He couldn't deal with Jesus otherwise.
I suspect the truth is somewhere between your view and the one you criticize. When something new comes in to the world it usually builds on what was already there.
I dont know what I was thinking when I wrote that. I know that the Arab people are through Ishmael who with his mother Hagar was banished to the desert. I obviously need to think before I type. Thanks for pointing out my error.
My point was to show that there was a separation of ancestry after Abraham with the Arab and Jewish people. The blessing followed through Isaac and Jacob to the Jews and not through Ishmael. I obviously didnt do it well.
Good catch...but I'm pretty sure that was not her intent.
That was a clear insult. There was no thought behind it. IMO
I know I have a hard time squelching what I think is a one-liner chuckle at the expense of exactitude, and I assume others have the same problem!
Avraham - the modified name of Avram son of Terach
Yitsack - meaning 'will laugh' after Sarah laughed at the thought of giving birth to Issac
Jaacov - meaning to 'cleave' as Esau was born first and Jacob held on to his foot and was born with/after him.
Esau - ruddy or red he was said to have been covered with red hair
Sarah - the modified name of Sari
Israel - the name given to Jaacov after wrestling with the angle while waiting the return of Esau
Biblically, whenever some significant interaction with G-D occurred, HE would change your name. Consider it like a promotion.
Except that Jews trace their ancestry through the mother. So, while it's not DNA, it's family line.
Sorry, it was a case of not reading the entire post. I am sorry for my error. I did not realize that the statement was about Jews as well.
