Weekly Weigh In
I've been trying really hard to increase my water intake this week. I've been aiming to drink between 100-140 ounces of water a day. I must admit, it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. This week I lost 2.0 pounds, bringing my total lost to 104.2 pounds. At this point in the game, I'm very happy with a 2 pound loss in a week. As long as I lose between 1-2 pounds each week, then I'm on point to hit my goals.

Today we bid farewell to 1968
Posted by sandi under 1968, appliances, drop-in stoves, inanimate objects, kitchen stove
[6] Comments
I remember 1968 as a pretty good year. I went to Hawaii that summer and stayed with my grandmother. Just before I left, I had fallen in love with a guy named Steve, and he wrote me letters while I was there and signed them, "Love, Steve." Not even "love ya," (or worse, "luff ya," both of which mean something else altogether.)
It was a good year. But for some reason, it was also the year that the appliance industry went completely insane and decided that what the world needed were stoves and refrigerators and dishwashers in HIDEOUS colors. Why settle for a white stove when you could have one that was Harvest Gold or Avocado Green instead? And why have stoves that simply sat on the ground like other appliances? No, let's DROP THEM IN TO THE COUNTERTOPS! Yes. Make them a hideous shade of green and wedge them into the kitchen counters so they can never come out again. THAT is what the American household has been craving.
And oh yes–make them indestructible.
When we moved into our 1968-built house in 1993, there were many things to love: the screened-in porches, the acre of land with rose bushes and a flagstone patio–but I eyed the appliances with quiet horror: the avocado green dishwasher, refrigerator and stove.
Still. Realistically, how much longer could they last? They were already 25 years old.
"It's okay if you break down soon," I whispered to them on a daily basis. "You've gone above and beyond the call of duty." (In our family, we don't seem to be capable of parting with anything until it breaks down. It's a pathological condition.)
The dishwasher was the first to obey. It broke down six months later, and we replaced it with a nice white, whisper-quiet model.
Next, a year or two later, the refrigerator obliged me. I thanked it for its service as it rode out of the house on the Maytag man's dolly, while a gleaming, new, modern, ice-making model took its place.
But the stove. It would not die. Oh sure, the heating element of the oven went out once, and we started pricing stoves and realized quickly that because our stove was the now-infamous type known as a DROP-IN, (meaning that it is smaller than the average stove and doesn't have any feet to it) we would either have to pay Big Bucks to replace it with another drop-in, OR we would have to dismantle all the kitchen counters to make room for a normal-sized modern stove.
My husband replaced the heating element for $30, and we sent the children to college with the money we saved.
The stove made up its mind that it would not die. It just sat there day after day, an ugly avocado green thing–like an angry frog–perched in the kitchen, heroically roasting vegetables, baking birthday cakes, cooking the Thanksgiving turkey, boiling water for the tea day by day, expecting gratitude for its undying service, no doubt. In an age when nearly everything can be counted on to break within the first five years, this stove celebrated its 40th birthday with no fanfare. Then the 41st, 42nd and 43rd came and went. I could feel it quivering with its plan for immortality.
We kept pricing drop-in stoves that were a more reasonable color. Surely they would grow cheaper, wouldn't they? But no. They were probably having to be custom-made somewhere, since no one was buying them except refugees from 1968 like ourselves. They climbed upwards of a thousand dollars. Who would put that kind of money into a too-tiny stove just so you could have one that was another color?
"Paint it," people said.
"Don't paint it," said the guy at the paint store. "You have no idea the trouble you're in for."
I am often willing to be warned away from trouble that involves a paintbrush and some burner elements, believe me.
And then on this past Saturday, a friend called and said that he had a present for us. He had just that moment been riding down the street and had seen a person hauling a white, drop in, General Electric stove out to the curb. Throwing it away! WHAT WERE THE CHANCES? My friend practically flipped his truck he pulled over so fast. "Are you throwing that out?" he asked breathlessly, and seconds later, he and the guy were loading it up into the truck–and it was on its way to its new home. Our home.
"Oh, by the way, it does work, doesn't it?" he asked before he pulled away, and the man said, "Sure! Works great."
We were elated but…well, cautious. We put it in our garage and cleaned it up some, although it didn't need much. Truthfully, our green one looked much worse for wear. This stove was clearly a youngster of only 35 or 36.
Today an electrician came over and helped us lug out the old green one and hard-wire the new one into place. (Because in 1968, you didn't just plug in your avocado green stove–oh no, you had to have it HARD-WIRED right into the heart of your house.)
I held my breath as we tested it. Everything worked!
We moved the avocado green one out onto the porch until we think of what to do with it. I put on some Beatles and Little Rascals music to salute it as it left its post. I said I was sorry for the unkind things I'd said about it all these years. It really was a very good drop-in stove, come to think of it. I'm sure it would have made it to 143 if only given the chance.
But I'm glad to say goodbye to the last vestige of 1968.

May 4th, 2011 at 4:41 pmCongratulations! It was meant to be! As you so meaningfully wrote, "WHAT WERE THE CHANCES?!" So happy for you and hubby, Sandi!
Nancy A. says:
May 4th, 2011 at 4:44 pmAwwww! I'm kind of sorry you don't have the avocado one anymore. You know if you wait a few more years they would be the next fad!! The white one looks nice, though, I admit it!
sandi says:
May 4th, 2011 at 4:49 pmHa!
Thank you, Ferdie! I love how these things happen by magic.
And Nancy, you may be exactly right. If only I could have waited another five years, it was bound to come back into fashion!
Kathy B-P says:
May 4th, 2011 at 4:55 pmWe did the blessing every season with our Harvest Gold appliances to last "just one more year til we can redo the kitchen"…and they made it. Now, all is redone and I still chortle at what a horrid sight they were! Congrats on your new addition. At least you didn't also have a turquoise sink and toilet bowl in addition to the stove 🙂
Gail says:
May 4th, 2011 at 7:20 pmOh no, the avacado stove is gone!!! I will miss seeing it in your kitchen, stalwart old gal that she was. However, the new white one looks marvelous, especially with all the painting you did last year. Congrats on your luck – maybe a lottery ticket is in order??
Caryn says:
May 14th, 2011 at 4:28 pmHa! That was a great story, and so fun to read (as usual). Congratulations on finding a new stove! I understand your reluctance to pay for a new one just to have a different color, but what a difference appearance can make.

text: Music has been in Joel's blood since the day he was born, on Christmas day. Joel would become the only son in a family with four daughters. His mother, a school teacher specializing in music, who has now become a pastor, and his father, a retired Command Sergeant Major in the US Army, instilled the importance of hard work, drive, and dedication into their son at a young age. By the age of four, Joel was already performing gospel music in church. By the age of ten, he was writing songs, and by fifteen, he Joel was playing in local country bands around his small hometown of Van Wert, Ohio. Immediately, his remarkable talent and captivating stage presence began gaining attention and he quickly found himself opening for acts such as Neal McCoy, Chris Ledoux, Diamond Rio, and Kenny Chesney. With a solid background, supportive family, and a commitment to his music, Joel moved to Nashville to further develop his abilities and to follow his dream. Since then, he has performed his unique musical style of "country soul" around town at historic honky-tonks, and events including "Fan Fair/CMA Music Fest", as well as the world famous "Wildhorse Saloon". Joel has even found himself writing with artists Jerrod Neimann, Michael Peterson, and multiple award winning songwriter Pat Alger. The combination of his strong, grounded, family background, and his wide range of musical influences, give him a very relatable and genuine sound. This directly reflects him as a person. His musical influences include, The Blackwood Brothers, Elvis Presley, Joe Diffie, Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, Steve Wariner, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Huey Lewis, ZZ-Top, and Harry Connick Jr., just to name a few. There are many things Joel would like to achieve in his life, but one of the most important to him is making an impact through his music. "Whether it's making someone laugh when they don't feel they can, making someone cry when they have been holding it in, or making someone think when they hadn't done so in a while; I want to make a difference. I want to make every emotion move with my music."

Lone Ranger Bombs
From: Deadline Hollywood
As predicted fireworks blazed at the Fourth Of July box office which headed to $229M domestic through Sunday (+16% from last year) and a new 3-day weekend record for the holiday.
But there was only bad news for Disney's #2 too-expensive The Lone Ranger (3,904 theaters) which opened disastrously Wednesday, remained weak on Thursday, did only $10.6M Friday, and flatlined for $10.7M Saturday. That's a very disappointing 5-day holiday of $48.9M max.
The two-quadrant Western won't cover its high $215M-$250M cost despite this holiday's 4x multiple.
The Johnny Depp-Armie Hammer starrer's domestic cume is way below Disney's initial lowball projection of $65M and the 3rd big-budget bomb of Summer 2013. (Two Sony pics – White House Down and After Earth- also were expensive bombs.) As Deadline was first to report, the studio in August 2011 shut down Lone Ranger for six months after the budget ballooned out of control.
Too bad Disney didn't just scrap the pic altogether. Depp's worldwide popularity may, repeat may, help overseas where oaters usually don't excel.Lone Ranger opened day and date in 30% of the foreign landscape but only 4 big markets: Italy and Russia (released July 2) and Australia and Korea (July 4). It made $24.3M internationally for a global cume of $73.2M through Sunday. Ouch! Far different result for the #1 movie, Illumination Entertainment's and Universal's Despicable Me 2 (3,957 theaters) which only cost a very reasonable $76M. It is the #1 film in the world this weekend, opening atop the U.S. and Canadian box office with a record-breaking estimated gross of $142.1M.
The 3D toon posted the biggest 5-day opening for an animated film and the top 3-day animated opening in July (earning $82.5M). Internationally, its gross widened to 6,849 dates in 45 territories to total $151.1M.
The combined global cume is $293.2M. This marks Universal's second biggest international opening weekend ever behind Fast & Furious 6 ($161M). Day after day pic kept overperforming in North America for the 5-day holiday. ("We stood here watching Rentrak and wondering, 'Could it be?'" a Uni exec tells me.) The new worldwide cumulative easily passed $200M Saturday on its way to $300M through Sunday.
Not only is DM2 performing well ahead of the original film globally but also on par with such toon franchise megahits as Toy Story 3, Ice Age 4, Madagascar 3 and Shrek 4. And the sequel's opening is among the top animated openings of all time in every market. Pic has 18 more territories to open over the next few months. Kevin Hart's concert pic Let Me Explain (876 theaters) from Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment made $3.7M Friday and the studio projects $17.4M for the 5-day holiday.
It's yet another surprisingly strong debut from the standup comedian's rabid and rapidly growing fanbase in the cheapest film and smallest theater count of the Fourth Of July field from major studios. Studio harnessed Hart's social media network to plug the pic.

Whether we agree with Janeway or not isn't important, it's that we see the other sides of the issue. And as has been said, it's another riff on the "needs of the many" theme, which Kirk turns on its ear in TSFS.
IN that episode Janeway also said that if she saw any more harvesting-ships that she blow them out of space on principle. Tuvix had the will of two men to live. Therefore Tuvix had twice the will to live than Tuvok, and twice the will of Neelix to live. Individually Neelix and Tuvok where both at least half as numerically significant to the mission than Tuvix.
I don't think it's the same since the organs are separate and Tom was not a complete fusion of two people. It would be wrong for them to just extract the heart and liver or whatnot and then you see Tom's dead body lying there, organless. I don't think the analogy is the same. The computer analogy seems a little more plausible. But honestly...let's say you and I were transporting somewhere...in a time period where transporters exist...and we became fused. At first we will recognize that it's wrong, that we are two people accidentally merged into one. But after time goes by, we start functioning as one. Then suddenly we don't want to be separated anymore because we became used to being one lifeform. However, the two people coexisting as one DO want to be separated. The voices and memories and thoughts are just too fused to say it. If I got sucked into a computer and the computer started claiming sentience just because it contained my mind's thoughts and memories and whatnot...I would want them to separate us. Even if it wasn't a computer. What if you became joined with your kid or your dad? It would just be weird. Also again...it's TV...you can't just kill two main characters and substitute them with a fusion-man.
Though a similar artificially created person could be an interesting main cast character for a new series.
I think bringing up arguments like "it's a tv show" are dodging the issue; Janeway et al. don't know they're on a tv show. I also think it's rather awful to bring up things like "Tuvix was creepy!" as an argument against letting him live, even jokingly. I don't believe humans have any place saying that one life is more or less valuable than another. That's the kind of argument Khan and his cronies would have used to purge the Earth of "inferior" humans so that they could have the planet to themselves...and they'd probably also argue that in the end they would benefit more (important) people than they were harming and that it was for "the greatest good".
These all seem to be aimed at my ponts so to counter; I think it's a bit pompous to ascribe lofty ideals to what is after all a bit of space-based storytelling centred around human dilemmas. Dodgy decisions by captains abound in ST (Captain Picard excepted). Aside from that, comparing doing away with one accidental construct to recover two other people to genocide is, well, a bit OTT?
Seems to me that Tuvok and Neelix were already dead, and that Janeway essentially murdered Tuvix to resurrect them.
No, it's why the episode "Tuvix" can more easily be compared to a work of fantasy (wherein death may be reversible) than a contemporary moral dilemma (since death, as we understand it today, is currently irreversible). Tuvok and Neelix are by any reasonable standard dead. Significant portions of mass that comprised their bodies -- including their brains -- are apparently lost after roughly half of each is combined into Tuvix. Their bodies have ceased to exist, and a new body been created. The unique mental patterns of each have ceased to exist; their minds have ceased to exist, and a new mind has been created. They are, in essence, Tuvix's deceased parents. And, as was asserted in the episode itself, Tuvix is, by any reasonable definition, a separate and unique individual. Ergo, the act of resurrecting Tuvok and Neelix inherently means killing Tuvix. The closest comparison would be to a fantasy story in which magically resurrecting two people requires killing a third.
Tuvok was salt, Neelix was water, and Tuvix was salt water. The Doctor simply found a way to separate the salt water into its original components again. Nothing was created or destroyed that wasn't already there.
And when nessecery to save the mother, often an infant is allowed to die or aborted. I really wish the episode had been better written with more analogies. Or the crux even rewritten. With Janeway having to choose between someone who has actually been born, and has a life rather than an accidental creation like Tuvix. I haven't watched the ep in a while. Couldn't Tuvix have just claimed that he *was* Tuvok and Neelix merged together, and that they liked being together? I don't see a problem here other than Tuvok has to be the ship chef now in his offtime.
Uh, no. Sentient beings are not merely physical components. A sentient entity is a system -- especially a mind, which is a complex system of neural interactions. When that system is dismantled and its components used to create a new system, that person is therefore dead. You might as well argue that George Washington isn't really dead just because the particles that made up his body were later absorbed by other organisms. Besides, Tuvix clearly did not have the actual physical mass of two men; ergo, a significant amount of physical matter was lost in his creation.
Even if Tuvix had claimed that he was best suited to represent Neelix and Tuvok's interests...and I thought that occurred during the episode...does anyone really think Janeway would have accepted that? Also, people can't claim that Tuvix is merely a composite of Tuvok and Neelix -and- argue that he behaved in a manner that they would not. The two concepts are antithetical. I would have found the episode stronger without Kes's emotional outburst, which to me played as more than a bit manipulative, especially given that a being's life was at stake. I'd like to think that if I'd been in Kes's shoes I would have been a bit more high-minded than, "I miss my boyfriend!!!" I'll add that I think telling Tuvix "You're one of us...unless and until we -ever- figure out a way to restore Tuvok/Neelix, at which point you're raw material," is awful. Way to treat someone as a second-class citizen due to circumstances they're blameless for.
When Tuvok and Neelix used the Transporter they accepted that there was a risk no matter how small of a transporter malfunction. And Tuvix was created by a transporter malfunction. So in part they accepted the risk that they could die as a result of a transporter malfunction. Now they did die in a fashion being combined to form Tuvix. A fully sentient being, who should have been afforded the same rights as any other being. The Federation has principals and sometimes you don't get what you want (Tuvok and Neelix) back if you hold true to them.
I believe I've made those points before myself. Well-said. I would think Starfleet must have regulations regarding how long someone's allowed to be considered "missing" before "presumed dead" gets added to the description.
SO much pin-head dancing. I'll say it again: If two of your kids were fused into one being and started crowing about his rights...you wouldn't hesitate for one second to pull the plug and get your kids back.
Bullshit. And since Kes made the tearful plea to Janeway to save her boyfriend, and it worked on Janeway... I can state categorically that, even though my boyfriend required a transplant to stay alive, it never even for a second crossed my mind to kill someone to get him a kidney.
You obviously have no kids. ..lol..though it did just occur to me if the one were much better behaved than the two "hmmmmm" And randomly killing some stranger that actually has a life to steal his kidney is about as far as you can get from defusing someone to get your children back.
How nice that you know me so well that you can tell me how I'd handle a situation that I don't even know how I'd handle.

Great speakers for the money.
Great Bargain!

from Plaucheville, LA 71362, USA
I have owned many pairs of speakers over the years. These have super detail and balance. The midrange is top notch. The bass is OK, but for many a subwoofer would be necessary. These little gems plus my trusty Sony subwoofer make for some great listening. I am quite pleased with how they sound.

Unbelievable Wide Sound Stage For Tiny Speakers!
By sandiegodom
from Los Angeles, CA
In many ways the SS-CS5 reminds me of the vintage Baby Advents designed by the legendary Advent Corporation (founded by the even more legendary Henry Kloss). The Baby Advents had a big sound and decent bass response for their small footprint. While Sony has bragging rights for innovations on the electronic side of things they have been lauded quite a bit less on speaker design. The SS-CS5 are an impressive step forward. BUILD The solid, well built enclosure itself is an uninspiring rectangular box with what feels like a vinyl finish (although, according to Sony, underneath the finish is actual wood). Yes, they are inexpensive bookshelf speakers…but a wood finish feels so much more high-end in my opinion. The cloth grills are also rather standard and boring. Remove the grills though and you are looking at a very handsome face: the three drivers are quite attractive and when exposed give the set a much more contemporary feel. BASIC FEATURES & SETUP The cabinet is a three-way design featuring what Sony calls a 3/4-inch super tweeter (output up to 50 kHz), 1-inch tweeter and 5-inch woofer (output down to 53 Hz). There is also a port directly behind the woofer. The port is an obvious necessity with a bass driver of this size. SOUND I connected the SS-CS5s to a two channel amp and fed it the optical output from my Apple TV. I used vocal tracks from Diane Schuur, Dire Straits as well as Lorde to evaluate the overall balance of the system. As usual with Sony speakers (and especially given the inclusion of the super tweeter) the high-end response was more than enough (too much). After making some adjustments with iTune's onboard EQ I was able to tame the highs and balance out the sound to where it was very listenable, clear and full. That last adjective is what I will talk about a bit more: full. In what on the surface looks like a simple three way design Sony has managed to create a speaker that with no active electronics creates a sound field that literally wraps around you. The sound is incredibly live and expansive with the vocals rock solid in the middle of the soundstage. Especially when listening to the Lorde tracks I kept looking to see if somehow my main system was on and powering the rear speakers! Placed on the floor and with a few EQ tweaks you can tease some pretty decent bass out of SS-CS5 (although I feel the bass is not tight as would be the case with a sealed design). They perform well with modern pop music (with it's electronic rhythm section) and excel with jazz and classical. As there is a separate optional subwoofer you can add this to the set at a later date if you really want more on the low end. I also placed them on stands and was a bit less satisfied with the overall balance. I feel that these speakers will produce a more balanced sound when they can interact with the surfaces around them (e.g. the floor, wall, bookshelf or table). CONCLUSION As strictly bookshelf speakers, and with a little equalization applied, the system provides a balanced sound that should satisfy casual and even more discerning listeners. The expanded soundstage and articulate vocals though put it in a very different class. I can't overemphasize how impressed I was with the width and depth of the soundstage created by these very unassuming little speakers. And they are dirt-cheap.
Exceptional Sound!
By samtheman2013
from Atlanta, Ga
I used these with my Sony UDA-1 DAC High Res Audio Amp. These speakers are made well enough to handle High Res Audio, so they work well with regular audio as well. These speakers along with the Sony UDA-1, blew my socks off! I do not know whether to cry or to laugh! I am writing this while listening to 'Celine Dione â€" The Power of Love' on the Sony UDA1 DAC System for PC Audio using just pair of Sony SS-CS5 BookShelf Speakers. I am no audiophile, just an ordinary guy that loves music from Classical, Techno, Dance, Rap, Heavy Metal or anything in between. But five stars are not enough to justify the sound coming out of these speakers right now! Hi-Res Audio â€" what is it? I did not know much about it until I received this. If you have watched non HDMI movies vs the HDMI (1080p) movies the comparison is similar, but now it is audio vs video for HDMI. So basically it is like cooking before the Microwave! If you never had it you won't know the difference. What you have listened to before is basically quite useless when compared to Hi-Res audio. The sounds are so clear that you would not believe your ears! You can basically increase the volume to max and the sound only gets better. When music was first created in the studios this is how it was supposed to be. What we've been listening to so far the quality of sound has been lost thru the imaging and digitizing process, no matter how good you thought it was. Mind you before this, my in home-theater was a 7.2 Harmon Kardon speaker system with a mid-range Pioneer Amp that cost me about 3000$ so yes I am used to good sound! The UDA-1 is tiny (9 inches long, couple inches tall) and the bookshelf speakers are small as well, but the sound that comes out of this system will blow you away. I still use my existing home theater for movies as that has surround sound etc. I use this in my office which is a smaller room about 20 X 20 feet, but it is loud enough that you will go deaf if you are in the room for too long at max volume. The CS-SS5 does handle the max output from the UDA-1 without and shaking, rambling or other complaints and the sound does not get distorted either. They are exceptionally well designed and solidly made. For the UDA-1 you need to use speakers that support Hi Res Audio and the Sony SS-CS5 seems to work well with it. Someday I will replace my Harmon Kardon home theater speakers with equivalent Sony Speakers of the same family â€" basically SS-CS3 (Floor standing Speaker) SS-CS8 (Center) and SA-CS9 (Sub-Woofer). The quality of sound does not change no matter what type of music it is â€" Tried Mozart â€" "Marriage Of Figaro Overtureâ€� it's like you are in front of the orchestra! Unbelievable! All this from a couple of book shelf speakers - 12 inches tall and 6 inches wide and the tiny UDA-1. In conclusion although I use these just for the High Res Audio amp UDA-1 USB DAC system in my home office, pretty soon I will be replacing my Harmon Kardon home theater speaker system with the SS-CS5, SS-CS3, SS-CS8 and the sub-woofer as the sound coming out of these speakers are exceptional. These speakers are worth their price and I have no hesitation recommending them.

I'm not an audiophile or technophile; although I do appreciate good-sounding music. I was initially skeptical around "Hi-Res Audioâ€� and whether adding Hi-Res components to my home audio equipment could justify the cost. Short answer: it's definitely worth the price, in part because these new Hi-Res SS-CS5 Bookshelf speakers are surprisingly affordable for their quality. So, I recently added a Sony UDA-1/B USB DAC as the hub of my computer-based digital music system. This digital-to-analog converter/amplifier is meant to power a pair of quality bookshelf/desktop speakers or to drive high-end headphones. Naturally those devices need to be of sufficient quality before you can appreciate what your Hi-Res Audio amplifier will supply â€" hence my addition of a set of Sony's SS-CS5 speakers (see photo below). These remarkable 6-ohm speakers are part of Sony's new Core Series and these are a three-way design with a 5.1-inch foamed mica-reinforced woofer, a 1-inch polyester dome tweeter, and a 0.75-inch dome super tweeter that extends the high-frequency response up to 50KHz. There is a bass port and heavy-duty speaker wire connectors on the back panel of each 7x13.3x8.6 inch enclosure. The other three Core Series products are a floor-standing tower, a center-channel and a 10-inch subwoofer. Used all together, the Core Series speakers would form a 5.1 channel home theater configuration. I discovered that high-resolution audio really does sound better even to my over-60 ears, or should I say, especially with my compromised hearing. I read in reviews that the SS-CS5s had "superior detail and clarity.â€� I was anxious to put that to a test. As soon as I set up my UDA-1/B with a pair of these bookshelf speakers, my digital music files seemed to burst open with tone and texture. Over time I had forgotten how fine the original recordings ought to sound. And, the combination of the DAC with these particular speakers works nicely in both sound quality and level. At the 20 watts per channel that my DAC can output, these speakers will fill a good-sized room (see photo below). Specs aside, it's all in the hearing. I particularly like to listen to cello solos and cello with full orchestra. It was a revelation to hear pieces that I am very familiar with sounding so clear and, well, exciting! I've only had the SS-CS5s for a short time and already find I am listening more often and enjoying what I can hear now. The very first track I played, YoYo Ma playing the first movement of Elgar's Cello Concerto (Chicago Symphony), convinced me. But you'll need to hear your own music through them to agree. Curious now, I decided to throw additional tracks at the SS-CS5s to see how they handle different musical situations. First, the second movement of Charles Ives' Symphony No. 4 (Chicago Symphony) where the music builds to several riotous climaxes â€" I could hear detail and separation that surprised me given the complexity of Ives' compositions and the small footprint that the SS-CS5s have. Next I switched genres to a live digital recording of T-Bone Walker's "Stormy Mondayâ€� by Hummingbird (a band from Connecticut's Northwest Corner that plays an eclectic blend of blues, jazz, and country). It pleased me to recognize the acoustic ambiance of Miranda Vineyard's club-like tasting room behind Bobbi Soares' melodic, jazz-influenced voice â€" nicely resolved by the DAC and voiced by the SS-CS5s. To represent another chunk of my listening time, I wanted to try a close mic'd track without instrumental distraction. I chose the title track of singer-songwriter Shane Faubert's new "Line in the Sandâ€� album on the French Bam Balam label. It's a non-compressed Folk/Pop recording with a lot of air around his smooth, buttery-voiced and intimate vocals. Again, the SS-CS5s performed with a presence that felt as if the artist was in the room with me. Very nice, indeed. For convenience, I have been using the source configuration in the accompanying photograph. That's my Xperia Tablet Z attached to my Sony DAC's front-panel USB port and playing tracks from their Walkman app. I am also a MacBook Pro user. So, to listen to digital music that lives on my laptop I downloaded and installed a free app called Hi-Res Audio Player and a driver named SONY USB DAC Amp Driver (Mac). The Player launches from the OSX 10.9.5 Desktop, finds Sony's UDA-1/B, and presents a straight-forward playlist interface, see screenshot below. There is also iTunes…. Like most of Sony's home audio products, the SS-CS5s have a clean design that is quite compact. Of course, you will need to supply speaker wiring (don't skimp) and sound sources like mine that have the ability to provide the fine Hi-Res Audio this speaker system is capable of delivering. For my listening taste there is more than enough bass, eliminating any thought to add a sub woofer. I am more than satisfied with my SS-CS5s. I can recommend this Hi-Res Audio speaker system without hesitation â€" you'll get a lot of enjoyment from them.

Great value

These speakers were recommended to us by store salesman who said I could return them if not satisfied. I was skeptical that speakers in this price range would be good enough. I have been very pleased. They sound better than my other much more expensive top brand speakers in my living room.

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.31 / 5.00 5,484 ViewsThe Ness Beats Everything Collab
The premise:
Ness has become unstoppable and goes about destroying everyone in his path.
Congratulations to the authors who took part in this collab, and thank you for your time and dedication. This collab has been brought to you by Short Factor and these collab members. But I have a few things to say...
First of all, sorry the file size is so big, I tried my best to compress it.
Some parts are more skippy than others. The first scene is very graphic intensive for some reason, so please don't leave at first glance, most of the movie runs smoothly (the movie is 25 FPS).
I know there's no main menu, scene select, or authors' page, but my time and resources are somewhat limited right now. I had to finish this quickly, as I have much to deal with in life. Not to worry, I will put much more time and effort into my next collab, as by then I won't have so much else to deal with.
Also, I'm very sorry some of you didn't make it into the collab. Mercenary81, your part was way too slow and I couldn't fit it, and you never made a better one (that I know of).
And you are reading the credits right. Alvin Earthworm was very close to joining the collab, but he ended up being too busy.
Oh, and props to BlackDevilX for support, and making four segments for this collab.
If you ask me or BlackDevilX when our next movie is coming out or how to make Flash movies, I will ignore your review. Read my profile page first.
Also my usual animated logo is not in this, as I feel that would practically be taking all the credit.
Now I command you to ENJOY THE MOVIE!!
About fucking time Ness its the credit for being a bad ass. I always play ness in smash bros. And now I can show ppl why.
lol Link is better.
i like the michael jackson part and it is differnt because it is like super smash bros brawl and dbz and earthbound is a turnbase game like pokemon but you can see the enemy one last thing is that awesome flash
others get nerfed ness gets stronger ?! WHAT A BADASS!!!!
dont take my work these people are good
all i say is epic and ultimate
omg! you killed kirby! apart from that sweet movie. im still giving it a 10 becuse the kirby thing is based to mutch around my opinion.
dude ness is my best character in brawl and that was freakin sweet 10/10

Oreo Dessert Balls
Crystal ~
Oreo dessert balls make a nice gift or a delicious addition to any party tray. They can be decorated to match any occasion. Most recipes call for 8 ounces of cream cheese. I only use 4 ounces because I want my Oreo dessert balls to be firm enough to dip in the coating and not turn into little mud balls while setting out on trays in heated rooms. I also like to use bark for the coating instead of chocolate chips. The bark gives a harder shell to hold the shape of the cream cheese cookie filling.
- 1 (15 ounce) package oreo cookies, crushed
- 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 (24 ounce) package white almond bark or 1 (24 ounce) chocolate almond bark
1In a food processor crush the Oreo cookies until crumbly, doing one sleeve at a time.
2Empty the Oreo crumbs into a mixing bowl; add the cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs.
3Using the paddle on a large mixer, mix the cream cheese and Oreos on low to medium speed until well blended. It will look like mud….not to worry.
4Shape the Oreo mixture into small walnut size balls about 1 inch. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Put the sheet of oreo balls in the freezer for about 30-60 minutes.
5You can either coat the Oreo balls all white, or all chocolate, or a combination of half and half.
6In a double boiler or make shift double boiler, melt the chocolate.
7Using a tooth pick, dip the Oreo balls into the melted chocolate; gently shake excess coating off. Set dipped oreo balls on a cookie sheet, and gently twist the tooth pick out. Continue until all the Oreo dessert balls are coated.
8After you have finished coating, you can drizzle some melted chocolate or white bark over the balls, or leave them plain. Chill in refrigerator to set the chocolate.

A favourite on Sydney's social calendar, this year's Taronga Dinner will raise vital funds to support Taronga's Asian Elephant breeding program and conservation partnerships.
Hosted by popular radio presenter and comedian, Adam Spencer, the 14th annual dinner will be held at the Ivy Ballroom on Thursday, 19 June.
Guests will have the opportunity to bid on exclusive auction items, ranging from a sunset dinner at Taronga Zoo's elephant exhibit to an eight day Kenyan safari, with all money raised going towards Taronga's work to help secure a future for Asian Elephants.
Once common throughout Asia, Asian Elephants are now endangered with as few as 34,000 left in the wild. The main threat to wild populations is habitat destruction as a result of human encroachment.
Taronga's success with its Asian Elephant breeding program has seen three calves born at Taronga Zoo already. Taronga also provides direct support for field conservation initiatives in Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Eclectic Prog • France
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
LAURENCE VANAY was a pseudonym for musician and producer Jacqueline THIBAULT. The name was conceived by the French professional association of artists' rights when releasing her first album in 1974. Under the same name she recorded albums and soundtracks released at a later date and has acted as a musician director for artists like Gilles SERVAT. Officialy the second album 'Evening Colours' was supossed to be by an another group but was taken over after the songwriter didn't meet the payments. Afterwards the album was released while Jacqueline was recovering from a car accident, then withdrawn, and in the end distributed in several versions in different countries since 1976. Jacqueline continued working with film music until the birth of her daughter Marine in 1981 when she gave up the pseudonym and released albums under her own name as well as some compilations by LAURENCE VANAY.
Jacqueline started out with a group called NANAJO in 1972 which because of the problems with the manager didn't leave a record except that one of the compositions did end up on her first album. A multi-instrumentalist and a composer, Jacqueline was besides guitars on most of her albums focused on keyboards and with the occasional cooperation with her husband Laurent THIBAULT from MAGMA they created a sound that can be described as a combination of darker jazz rock and accessible folk music. Besides the first two albums, her film music is a bit more obscure to find, but another interesting work worth looking for is Laurent THIBAULT's solo album from 1979 on which she also contributes as a musician in the genre of straight Zeuhl progressive rock.

I definitley prefer her next album Evening Colours where the songs are much more interesting a little more progressive and overall are just better. 2.5 stars really, a two star rating seems a little too harsh and not quite fitting so it just barely acquires the third star. Nice work.

Special Collaborator Eclectic Prog Team
Following her 1974 debut album Galaxies, this album marks a step forward in Vanay's vision and ambitious creative song writing. This time the album is completely instrumental and gracefully goes through several genres without stretching too much to unknown territories. Symphonic, folk, rock and even some mild zehul touches (especially in the bass playing) including keys, flutes, piano, acoustic and electric guitars, all contributes to the eclectic feel of the album. The key word here is beauty! The album effectively radiates melodic beauty in the most natural and easiest way, the compositions are relaxed and calm even in the more harder edged songs. Although the album is quite relaxed, there are some rockier moments to be found featuring good fuzzy guitars and a few disturbing melodies which contributes and complements the somewhat trippy atmosphere of the whole album. The album's strength lies on the melodies which ranges from good to gorgeous and on the varied sounds produced by a nice array of analog keys such as the fender rhodes, hammond organ and synths. Vanay certainly has an ear for mixing different sounds, I love the fact that she doesn't stick to one keyboard sound but comes up with a clever combination of a few, plus of course combining them with the rest of the instruments. As I said the album is instrumental so there's a lot of room for playing, some of it is really good and some of it is just ok, there aren't brilliant solos or moments that really manages to transcend beyond the surface, personally I'm missing a few really killer songs. But the album is definitely good and worth to locate if you enjoy the melodic side of prog.
3 stars.

The album has a mystic and beautiful atmosphere, pointing out the talent of Thibault in creating great moods and arranging.It is close to the majestic moments of CATHARSIS and the folkier themes of ANGE, while sounding quite personal allthe way.A mix of Folk Music and light Symphonic Rock, ''Galaxies'' has a smooth sound from start to end with brilliant and ethereal soundscapes created by the soft acoustic passages, the careful use of Hammond organ and the elegant style the flutes are used.There are plenty of instrumental pieces in here with extended use of organs and a very mellow rhythm section, sometimes delivering repetitive yet very interesting themes with a dicreet psychedelic approach but also a hidden symphonic nature.Often these textures resemble to the original sound of GOBLIN.The vocal tracks sound so very French with Vanay having a romantic, impressive voice, and these are closer to French Folk, being more acoustic-oriented.The organ though remains again present, even staying in the background, adding a very somber atmosphere as a whole.
Very relaxed musicianship, which somehow creates very deep emotions.Recommended to all fans of the lighter side of Progressive Rock.

A church can be an effective agent for good in the community. But if the members of that church lack a crucial component it renders the congregation useless! Alistair Begg explains the essential feature of any successful church. More
- Topics:
- Love of God
- Loving Others
Love in the Local Church
Here we have one of the most familiar chapters in the New Testament. It appears so frequently on wedding bulletins, we may be tempted to believe it was penned for that purpose. It is only when we read it in the context of the surrounding chapters that we can understand and apply it correctly. The apostle was addressing a church that was vibrant but chaotic. As they tried to cover their division and confusion by an over-emphasis on the spectacular gifts, Paul shows them a better way. This chapter presents a particular challenge to any outwardly successful church because its preoccupations may not be the same as God's priorities.Recent Broadcasts
The Devil and Demons (Part 2 of 2)
The Bible makes it clear that Satan is real and that he does have some authority in this world. But does Satan's influence encroach on the thoughts and actions of Christians? If so, how do believers resist him? We'll answer these questions on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg! More
The Devil and Demons (Part 1 of 2)
When you picture the devil, what comes to mind? Perhaps a cartoonish character with horns, a tail and a pitchfork? Or maybe you feel a certain measure of disgust and fear. On Truth For Life with Alistair Begg, we'll look at the biblical view of Satan and his demons. More
Spiritual Warfare (Part 2 of 2)
The early church experienced spiritual warfare on a regular basis. But are those battles still happening today? And if so, how can we combat the demonic forces that oppose us? Hear the biblical view of spiritual warfare and the Christian's defense on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg! More

My front page gallery on Conceptart.org just went up! HOLY CRAP!
I couldn't clear the NDAs with Hasbro, so all I had to add up there was some older stuff (which makes me really nervous, I feel so out-ranked up there!). I want to add a couple of my newer pieces up there... any suggestions?
Crap, now I really have to get my website fixed...

The morning after our wedding, Tim woke me up at 7 a.m. saying the fire alarm went off at the hotel we're staying. Sleepy and not wanting to get up, I tried to pretend I didn't hear him then go back to sleep. I was already half-awake when the alarm went off again and I heard and saw the flash myself.
Panicked, I jumped out of bed lightning fast (triggering him to do the same) and started scurrying around the disorganized room looking for valuables (i.e. phone & eyeglasses). Timmy started putting on his pants and shoes and I was already at the door about to go out–before he reminded me to put on some pants.
As we got out the door of our room in the 6th floor, a family of five–two of which were children–were rushing to the fire exit. Like us they were trying not to panic. They were ahead of us walking in that long hallway–they didn't realize one of their own was way behind them, a toddler with a pacifier on his mouth, walking on his own.
Without thinking twice, I offered this kid my hand and he readily grabbed it. We were all raising to the fire exit (if I wasn't in a flight mode I wouldn't offer my hand to any kid with his parents in sight–not in this paranoid world where everyone could profile you as a pedophile when you play with a kid not related to you by far). When his parents opened the fire exit door moments after, they realized he was behind; the father lifted the boy while they thanked us profusely, especially the grandmother.
No this is not a "Jenny saves the day" anecdote. That moment I was holding the kid's hand only lasted for about 15 to 20 seconds, his parents would have realized it earlier because that kid will have eventually tripped and made a sound or something. There wasn't even a "real" fire then–well, nothing that Timmy and I have seen (was probably just a small kitchen fire). But those few seconds made me feel a kid's touch again, and made me remember certain fat/muscular babies…
Ugh I miss **Apollo & Achilles.

I admit it: in the past year I've made and played with this Paleo Hummus recipe many times and in that time I've always wondered if it was "hummus" or "humus". I can tell you that it is definitely not "humus", as its definition is "fully decomposed organic matter, sometimes used in gardening to improve the fertility of soil". Now we know.
I got to catch up with a bunch of friends from school this weekend who I haven't seen in a while. It's come to my attention that almost everyone is married now. I think there are only 2 of us in the group who are single. That wedding thing is catching. And expensive. Last year I had 5 weddings to go to. I think 3 this year. There should be one big mass ceremony. Once a year. Or a wedding week. Kinda like graduation ceremonies at big universities, how different programs are scheduled for their ceremonies all within a couple days. Think about that week-long party! And all the people you'd meet! Now that would be the way to connect all the singles, no?
But it would never work. Brides need their day, right? I get it. But it's cool. Gets everyone together for mini reunions. It's weddings and funerals right? So obviously this is the more fun of the two. Hey, do you have a go-to wedding gift that you can suggest? I need help. Maybe a gallon-o-Paleo hummus (not humus. Unless they're big into gardening).
Stay tuned: I will show you one of my favorite uses for this hummus. Next week.
What a tease. 😉
***Update: Favorite use: Hummus Omelette.
See all of our Paleo Greek Weeks recipes here.
- 1 head cauliflower (cut, steamed or boiled, and cooled)
- 5-6 heaping Tbsp almond butter
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ - 1 tsp paprika
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp dry mustard powder
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 pinch black pepper
- Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth.
Καλή όρεξη! (Bon appetit!)


text: Buddhism By: Tanner What is Buddhism? • Buddhism is a major world religion, or in a better sense, philosophy. • It is the 4th largest religion of the world, and has about 300,000,000 people living by it. • It explains the purpose of life, injustices and inequality around the world. • It also helps people by providing a way of life that will lead to true happiness. The History of Buddhism • • Gautam Buddha - The Originator of Buddhism The word 'Buddha' is a title and not a name in itself. It means 'one who is awake' (in the sense of having 'woken up to reality'). The title was given to Siddhartha Gautama, who was born in Lumbini (Nepal), approximately 2,500 years ago. He did not claim to be a God and he has never been regarded as such by Buddhists. He was a human being who became Enlightened, understanding life in the deepest way possible. Siddhartha was born into the royal family of a small kingdom, on the Indian-Nepalese border. According to the traditional story, he had a cloistered upbringing, but was jolted out of complacency when he encountered the harsh realities of life, such as old age, sickness and death. He left His home in search of the real meaning of life. He practiced meditation under various teachers and then took to asceticism. The rigorous asceticism that He followed virtually led Him to the verge of death. But, true understanding seemed as far away to Him as ever and eventually, He abandoned this path. He sat down beneath a pipal tree and vowed that "flesh may wither, blood may dry up, but I shall not rise from this spot until Enlightenment has been won". After forty days, the Buddha finally attained Enlightenment. • Buddhism teaches the Middle Way is a life lived between the extremes of self-denial and self-indulgence. What Did Buddha Teach? • He taught the 4 Noble truths which sum up Buddhism religion • He also taught the noble eight fold path • He taught to lead a moral life, be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions and to develop wisdom and understanding • He also taught the 5 precepts What are the Four Noble Truths? • The first was that life is suffering • You can't live without death, frustration, etc. • The second is that suffering is caused by craving and aversion • Getting what you want doesn't guarantee happiness, it deprives you of it • The third is that suffering can be overcome, and true happiness attained • If we stop craving useless things, and live each day at a time (not living in the future) we will be happy and free. • The fourth is that the Noble eight fold path leads to the end of all suffering The Noble Eightfold Path It taught 8 simple rules: • To have a right understanding • To have right thoughts • To use right speech • To do right actions • To deal with right livelihood • To give a right effort • To have a right mindfulness • To use the right meditation The 5 precepts • • • • • Do not take the life of anything living Do not take anything not freely given Abstain from overindulgence Refrain from untrue speech Avoid intoxication • (Do not lose mindfulness) This is the moral code of the Buddhists

Each year high school students train to compete in a number of science and technology competitions sponsored by large corporations. The largest of these competitions is the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) which calls itself, with some justification, "the Olympics, the World Cup and the World Series of pre-college science competitions."
Held in a different city, annually the Intel ISEF brings together over 1,300 students from 48 states and 39 nations to compete for scholarships and tuition grants totaling over $3 million, along with internships, scientific field trips and the grand prize: a trip to attend the Nobel Prize Ceremonies in Stockholm.
This documentary follows the progress of twenty highly motivated students and their teachers at two New York City area schools - Townsend Harris High School in Flushing and Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School in Plainview - as they created what they hoped would be award-winning projects. These students are dedicated to their fields of interest which are as diverse as cancer research and carpenter ants along with physics, chemistry and biology projects. They are terrific kids whose energy and intelligence will restore your faith in public education and our youth (if you've been harboring doubts).

These 9 Countries Have the World's Best Maternity Leave Policies [infographic]
Forget Google's celebrated five-month maternity leave. If you lived in one of these nine countries, you'd have a year off (much of it, paid) to spend with your brand-new family member.
Here a few facts to ponder, while negotiating your time off with your boss:
1. Sweden offers the most generous maternity leave policy, with 56 weeks paid at 80 percent of citizens' salary, and 13 additional weeks paid at a fixed rate thereafter.
2. In some central European countries, the standard maternity leave is three years.
3. Adoptive parents and same-sex parents get parental leave in the U.K., Canada, France, and yes, Sweden.
4. There is still zero mandated maternity leave benefits in the U.S., although companies with over 50 employees are obligated to offer three months of unpaid time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
5. This makes the U.S. one of only four countries in the world with no required paid maternity leave. The others are Liberia, Swaziland, and Papua New Guinea.

Some of your content doesn't accurately reflect maternity leave. It is not typical for people to get 3 years maternity leave anywhere in the world. However, there are places, like Denmark that give over one year's maternity leave at 100 percent salary and other countries that provide a sort of stipend for a certain period of time and that might be where you are getting your three years number, but that isn't maternity leave.
Liberia, Swaziland do provide paid maternal leave, UN reports.

Hi I'm a small UK business which has just signed up to become a developer for the App store, since paying and logging in, its asking me to fill in the W-8Ben form? Does anyone know anything about this, and do i need to do this if i'm a UK Business? Also does anyone know, what rate it cuts the tax down to for UK sellers? Also if your from the UK, will we have to pay over VAT for sales of our apps? PLEASE HELP!! Thanks Mark
My experience is that if you fill in the contract form in iTunes Connect, you are automatically emailed a W-8BEN form, already filled in. Just sign it and put it in the post. Once you have done this, you will not pay any tax in the US. As for the UK, it depends if you are VAT-registered or not. If you are not VAT-registered, you do not need to pay VAT until your earnings cross the VAT threshold (which I can't remember just now). There is a lot of useful information in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8105107&tstart=0#8105107 I used the '9 zeros' approach and it worked - I've just got my contract! .
VAT is taken off the royalty price by Apple, you don't pay it. You ALWAYS have to pay VAT, you just don't have to file VAT returns until you cross the threshold of £67k. I assume you've registered your business? Then Inland Revenue should send you a leaflet on VAT.

Liverpool Fans Compare Ragnar Klavanwith Martin Skrtel
Submitted by content on Tue, 02/21/2017 - 13:07Liverpool fans have likened Ragnar Klavan as someone who is capable of committing silly mistakes like former defender Martin Skrtel.
Klavan was at fault for a recent goal conceded at Southampton. Both teams were up against each other in the EFL Cup semi-final looking to progress to the final of the competition. Liverpool reached the final last season only to be beaten by Manchester City. This was the second loss in a final for the team. Nathan Redmond scored the only goal of the game in the final few minutes to give Southampton a slender advantage in terms of the aggregate score.

Villa in Dalyan, Aegean Region, Turkey - Peaceful Location Set Amongst Fruit Orchards
A private villa in a quiet location, a short distance outside the beautiful village of Dalyan. The villa is a fantastic base from which to explore the Dalyan delta conservation area and stunning coastline. Dalyan itself has a very traditional feel to it and its riverside location overlooked by the Lycean tombs gives it a timeless feel. There are many wonderful restaurants and bars to catering for all tastes. The famous Turtle beach is fantastic and can be reached easily from Dalyan via a water taxi or by road (car/minibus). The beach has the usual beds and umbrellas available and there are a good beach bars. The villa is located a 20-25 mins stroll from the riverside at Dalyan, in a quiet rural community. The surrounding fields are of pomegranate and citrus orchards as well as grazing with the stunning backdrop of the mountains. If you want peace and quiet but with the option for good food and entertainment close by then this property fits the bill.
About the Owner
About Paul or Diane
Hi my name is Paul and I live on the Wirral in Merseyside. I'm 44 years old and married with two teenagers. If you are looking at going to Turkey even if you are not booking with me you are making a great choice as it is fantastic. I have been on some great holidays over the years to many destinations. Turkey has everything any holidaymaker needs. So try the Turkish side of life and if like me you will only agree its the best.
Paul or Diane purchased this villa in 2008
Why Paul or Diane chose Lycian & Turquoise Coast
The location is just so relaxing and the area is filled with colour and natural beauty. Trees flowers and wildlife. No such thing as a high rise building for miles and miles away.
What makes this villa unique
The benefits of the property are its location to the town, not that Dalyan is a noisy town but we are just the right distance away in my opinion not too near and not to far away. We don't here the noise from the bars and when we go into town which is every day its a nice relaxing stroll into town. The villa has its own pool and barbecue area which we use everyday and if we wanted we don't have to leave the property to have a great time relaxing and having fun in the comfort of our own place.

"The location is just so relaxing and the area is filled with colour and natural beauty. Trees flowers and wildlife. No such thing as a high rise building for miles and miles away."
Activity and Interests
Special interest holidays:
Great area for cycling and walking, scuba and snorkeling. horse riding, boating, canoeing, white water rafting etc. The ancient city of Caunos (3000 yrs BC) is a 15-20 min walk away from Dalyan and has only recently begun to be excavated. A plethora of excellent river-side restaurants often provide views of the famous Lycian rock tombs, a fabulous setting for an evening meal. They are an inspiration to all who see them.
Dalyan remains relatively undiscovered and retains lots of its traditional Turkish hospitality and charm. It stands on the banks of the river which runs from the beautiful Koycegiz lake, past the rock tombs and through the reeds to the Iztuzu beach and the Mediterranean Sea. The beach is approx 12km away and can be reached by car or by taking one of the many local river boats this in its self is a great experience and is what most holiday makers do and end up doing it more than once.
Fly to Dalaman - Villa Leisha is just 30 mins from the airport. Cheap flights available from Easyjet.co.uk and Thomas Cook. Local taxis available - fare should be no more than £35 (4 people) and £40 (8 people) each way. The owner can organise transfers with local friendly people taking all the hassle away. Car hire is available but not really needed.
The villa is located a 20-25 minute stroll from the riverside at Dalyan, in a quiet rural community. There are a few other villas around but these are interspersed by small holdings and local houses, so it is very quiet but with a real sense of security.
Further Details:
Dalyan is in an area of outstanding natural beauty, and the river delta is a national conservation site. There are many historic sites in and around Dalyan. The harbour offers rare and varied bird and animal life attracted by the reed beds. You can enjoy the Aegean coast which is the most beautiful coastline of Turkey, with pine clad mountains dropping into the clear blue waters. The weather is generally very good all the way through from April to October and can get very hot in the middle of Summer. There tends to be a gentle breeze which is welcome either in off the sea or from the mountains.

The villa has its own pool and barbecue area which we use everyday and if we wanted we don't have to leave the property to have a great time relaxing and having fun in the comfort of our own place."
