Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter, considered one of the most accomplished painters in the generation following that of Caravaggio. In an era when women painters were not easily accepted by the artistic community or patrons, she was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence. She painted many pictures of strong and suffering women from myth and the Bible - victims, suicides, warriors - and made it her specialty to paint the Judith story. Her best-known work is Judith Slaying Holofermes (a well-known medieval and baroque subject in art), which "shows the decapitation of Holofernes, a scene of horrific struggle and blood-letting". That she was a woman painting in the seventeenth century and that she was raped and participated in prosecuting the rapist, long overshadowed her achievements as an artist. For many years she was regarded as a curiosity. Nowadays she is regarded as one of the most talented and expressionist painters of her generation.

LadyFest Kitchen & Dinning are happy to offer the famous Zojirushi NP-HBC10 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless Steel.
With so many available right now, it is wise to have a name you can trust. The Zojirushi NP-HBC10 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless Steel is certainly that and will be a excellent buy.
For this price, the Zojirushi NP-HBC10 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless Steel comes highly respected and is a popular choice for lots of people. Zojirushi have included some great touches and this equals good value.
Along with micro computer technology, this 5-1/2-cup rice cooker and warmer provides superior induction heating for more evenly distributed heat to ensure perfectly cooked rice every time. Choose from a variety of cooking functions including white rice (regular, softer, or harder), mixed rice, sushi rice, porridge, sweet rice, and quick cooking. In addition, healthy cooking options include brown rice, GABA brown rice, and germinated brown rice. The unit's black, thick, spherical, inner cooking pan and heating system provide even heating, and its interchangeable melody and beep signal indicates when the cooking cycle has ended. Other highlights include a detachable and washable inner lid, an easy-to-read LCD control panel with clock and timer features, and automatic keep warm and extended keep warm, as well as a delay timer with two settings and a detachable power cord. The unit's clear-coated stainless-steel exterior not only cleans easily, but also matches any kitchen decor. Accessories include a spatula, a spatula holder, and a rice-measuring cup. The 1230-watt rice cooker and warmer measures 14-3/16 by 9-13/16 by 7-15/16 inches.
This is a menu setting designed to cook delicious brown rice. In order to cook hard rice bran and the rice inside, preheating time is extended for better absorption of water, and is cooked at a lower temperature to allow the rice to cook longer without becoming mushy.
Because sushi rice will be processed after it's cooked, it's easier to handle when it is a little firmer. This menu setting is very similar to regular white rice, but uses less water (adjusted by the water fill lines) for a firm finish.
Mixed rice is rice cooked with additional ingredients and seasonings. This setting extends preheating for better absorption of seasoning. Also, the cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to avoid ingredients from boiling over.
Instead of cooking rice in larger amounts of water and risk making it sloppy, use the porridge setting to cook fluffy porridge. Cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to be cooked longer for soft texture.
A newly discovered way of cooking brown rice to "activate" it and increase natural occurring gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid in brown rice believed to have health giving properties such as lowering blood pressure, improving kidney function and relieving stress. The brown rice is "activated" by soaking it at 104°F for 2 hours before the actual cooking begins. All Induction Heating System rice cookers, including the IH Pressure models, have the GABA brown rice setting.
Aided by microcomputer technology, this category of rice cooker takes having rice on your menu from occasional to serious. MICOM allows the cooker to have multiple functions on its menu, making it a necessity for any avid rice fan who wants to incorporate rice into her daily diet. The microchip does all the thinking for you by, based on the type of rice you are cooking, from adjusting cooking times, temperatures, and timing the pre-soak of the raw grains to the final "wait" period during steaming.
Conventional rice cookers simply turn on and off in reaction to temperature. The "fuzzy logic" of MICOM fine-tunes this adjustment to adapt to various rice types, such as white, brown, sweet or porridge, which all have different cooking requirements. The trigger to everything is the thermal sensor, a small round button at the bottom of the inner body of the cooker. As the inner pan's weight rests on it and activates the sensor, it starts the cooking process and keeps an eye on the temperature and time.
Induction Heating took rice cooking to another level by introducing another dimension to the heating process. Where the heating element would normally be located at the bottom of the cooker, IH transforms the entire inner cooking pan into a heat conductor, allowing for higher, more precise and more uniform cooking temperatures.
Induction heating occurs when a magnetic material enters a magnetic field. This is recreated by passing an electric current through coils located at the bottom of the rice cooker's body. As the special, 2-ply inner cooking pan is placed inside, a magnetic field is created, which in turn generates instant heat. The entire cooking pan becomes the heat source, with the ability to cook at higher temperatures, which can be turned on and off instantly for greater control.

The Tinnell Memorial Skate Park is hosting its first skateboard competition this weekend and local skateboarders Kaiden Cirby, Kyle Foster and Austin Ashbaugh will be competing in the CA Pro/Am skateboard competition as unsponsored amateurs.
Foster and Cirby both said they have been working hard to get ready for the competition.
"I skate the park a lot and come up with lines of tricks I can do every time," Cirby said about preparing for the contest, "but there are tricks that are still difficult.
"We have to get our trick consistency up," Foster said. "We have to take care of our bodies, and eat healthy."
Both Cirby and Foster have different styles of skateboarding and they hope to use their strengths to their advantage.
"I'm more of a handrail kind of guy," Cirby said, who seemed to effortlessly glide down the hand rails at the skate park.
Foster, 23, said his strengths are in grinding on ledges.
Cirby, 18, will be competing with a broken wrist but he said he doesn't worry about getting hurt. He said skateboarding is a mental game, "You've got to approach the trick knowing you are going to land it."
Foster, Cirby, and Ashbaugh, who could not be reached, are sponsored by Utility Board Supply, but since it is not a nationally recognized sponsor they will compete in the unsponsored amateur competition on Friday and Saturday. If they perform well enough they will be selected to compete in the sponsored amateur contest on Saturday afternoon, according to Jeff Jewett, president of CA Productions, the company running the competition.
Jewett said he isn't sure how many unsponsored amateurs he will move up to the sponsored amateur competition. He said it depends on performance.
"There's a lot of good skaters who haven't been recognized," Jewett said about the skaters in the unsponsored amateur bracket. "I want to give them a chance.
There will be two pro events including the riot race on Friday night, which consists of head-to-head racing where the last man standing will win the competition, according to Jewett.
On Saturday night, the Bounty in the Bowl contest will be comprised of a list of tricks invented by the legends of skateboarding. The competitors will recreate these tricks in their own style and collect bounties, according to Jewett.
The final event will be a best trick contest on the 14-stair staircase and handrail.
Jewett said cash prizes, as much as $2,000, will be awarded to professional and amateur contest winners.
Jewett said he is excited about the Tinnell Memorial Skate Park's inaugural competition because he thinks the park is amazing and skateboarders have already made pilgrimages to the park.
"It's great for a first-year event that we got so much support," Jewett said. "There's a good chance if the kids come they'll see some of their favorite skaters."
Pro skateboarders Mike "Lizard King" Plumb, Andy McDonald, and Erik Ellington are expected to make an appearance at the competition. Spectators are encouraged to bring their own chairs because seating is limited.
"This is what this city needs," Cirby said. "Not only will it be good for the youth, it'll be good for the city in general."

The storylines are fragmented and tangled, with no clear beginning, middle and end.
If they were taken from literature, they would be called "postmodern."
Instead, they're painful everyday tales of youthful cyber-bullying.
"It's a very tangled problem," says Toronto born academic Leanne Bowler in an interview.
"It's part of kids' real lives, the blurring of their online lives and their face-to-face lives."
Bowler studied cyber-bullying on social media sites, drawing on proposed solutions offered by high school students and university undergraduates.
She published a paper called "Developing Design Interventions for Cyberbullying: A Narrative-Based Participatory Approach," with Eleanor Mattern, also of the School of Information Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, and Cory Knobel, of the University of California-Irvine.
What is painfully clear is the power of cyber-bullying.
Anyone looking at the 2012 suicide of 15-year-old Amanda Todd of Vancouver already knows this.
"Cyber-bullying is anywhere, any place, anytime," Bowler said. "It comes right into the home."
What isn't so clear is how to stop it.
For Bowler's study, students came up with scenarios that they thought might make things better.
One thought was to publicly shame bullies, but this runs the risk of becoming a new form of bullying.
"That in itself can turn on you," Bowler said.
Another proposed solution is to educate bullies on the pain they cause.
The problem here is that hardcore bullies might just learn how to be better bullies.
"Bullies can have cognitive empathy and use it in Machiavellian ways to bully their victim in more perfect ways," the study's authors write. "So the design problem might not be to design for empathy but to design for caring."
This is where the study comes to a frustrating end, like a postmodern story.
"We need to find ways to make people care about the person they're bullying," Bowler says. "Can technology do this? I just don't know."

Do Not Judge Me
Do not judge me
Do you really know me? Do you really know me enough to judge me?
Have you been inside my head? Do you know what is going on in my life?
Do you feel the pain?
Do not judge me
Do you feel the turmoil that is going on inside?
Do you know many times I have cried to God, why, why, WHY?
Yet not my will but His....but WHY does it have to be so difficult
Why must there be struggles and why the pain?
Do not judge me
You do not know me well enough
You only see but one facet of me
When I smile, it does not mean all's well with me but when I don't it does not also mean all's not
Do not psychoanalyse me, do not put me in typical boxes
Do not judge me
When you ask me, 'How are you' and I answer 'ok', it does not mean that I am.
It merely means I do not wish to elaborate for fear that you
Will judge me
When the dark night covers the mind like a shroud,
I and me are the only company,
Insecurites and fear craves to be playmates.
Banished only with cries to God
Can you trust me?
Do not judge me
Do not judge me
Let me alone to lick my wounds in a dark corner
Let the Healing Balm of God's Touch work a miracle
But when will it complete? When will it stop hurting?
When will it be better?
Every time I pulled myself up two rungs, I semed to be pushed down three by 'Circumstances'
Will it ever end?
Do not judge me
I am not always a pillar of strength
When I am not,
Do not judge me
Leave me alone
Do not judge me

Demand for Ohio High Deductible Insurance Plans Goes Up New surveys by benefits consulting firm Mercer point out high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) are becoming popular among U.S. employers. The reason is that such plans help cut premiums by transferring a greater share of healthcare expenses to workers. Annual premiums for employer-sponsored family coverage went up by up to 9 per cent in 2011 according to the Kaiser Family Foundation/Health Research Educational Trust 2011 Employer Health Benefits Survey. Ohio employers are also waking up to the potential cost savings of HDHPs which have higher deductibles and lower premiums than traditional health plans. If you are doing business in the Buckeye State and looking for Ohio health insurance for your workers, this is the perfect time to sponsor enrollment in an Ohio high deductible health plan. Potential Cost Savings of HDHPs Insured workers make payments up to a defined annual deductible amount before the HDHP plan pays for any benefits. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets the minimum deductible for HDHPs. High deductible plans include a Health Savings Account (HSA) and workers pay for more of their initial medical expenses with the money deposited by them and their employers into the HSA. Unused contributions to this account can be rolled over from year to year, allowing workers to build up a fund to pay for future medical expenses. According to the 2011 Kaiser survey, workers have to pay an average deductible of $1,908 in HDHPs covered by a health savings account. With traditional health plans, the deductibles are well under $1,000. Thus, HDHPs are cutting costs for employers because the combination of high deductible and lower premiums is encouraging workers to be more careful about their medical expenses. The advantage of these plans is that the savings in premium expense can be contributed to the HSA and made to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. Many HDHP Options for Ohio-based Employers High deductible health plan and HSA plan sponsors should ensure that their Ohio high deductible health plan documents and communications are prompt and correctly updated to reflect the IRS HSA, HDHP 2012 indexed amounts. Leading Ohio health insurance companies such as Aetna, Medical Mutual of Ohio, UnitedHealthOne, Humana and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield offer several HSA-qualified HDHPs for employers to choose from. Getting professional guidance is the best option when it comes to obtaining HSAbased health insurance Ohio plans that meet employer corporate goals while providing as much benefits as possible for workers.

Irene's place is an absolute must stay, it is a warm and inviting place that feels like a home away from home ! She made us feel very welcome and comfortable! Lots of great visits with her and sam and molly ! Highly recommend, best place we stayed throughout our entire Ireland tripMiles 2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
A really great place to stay. If you are visiting the beautiful County Down then Irene's flat is ideal. So close to historic Downpatrick and Saintfield and within a short drive of magnificent gardens and coastline. Irene provided us with delicious breakfast items and every creature comfort. Lovely shower items, towels and bedding. Having a small private lounge was great to relax and watch a bit of TV. Irene gave us all sorts of advice about places to visit and how to find then park and ride. Getting into Belfast was so easy on the busses and Titanic a must!!Anne2017-03-07T00:00:00Z
Lovely comfortable, cosy little flat with its own bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchenette. Our hosts, Irene and Sam could not have been more attentive or kinder. The breakfast was also excellent!Eleanor2017-06-03T00:00:00Z
Irene offered us a beautiful little flat with everything we needed, looking after us wonderfully. She was also very helpful with suggestions of where to eat/sights to see. A great host.Nathan2017-05-23T00:00:00Z
Irene's place was wonderful and cozy. We had a long day at a wedding and the bed was exactly what we needed to sleep well and rest after our day. Everything about the place was wonderful and Irene is a 5 star host. She had fresh fruit for us and plenty of food in the fridge.Joe2017-07-27T00:00:00Z
Spacious, very clean, and plenty of food and snacks Thanks Irene for looking after us so wellAlan2017-08-24T00:00:00Z
We were lucky to find this place at short notice. It is a prerfect location if you want to explore county dow. The accomodation is perfect for a couple. Everything is provided for including breakfast supplies. The bed is really comfortable, and the sun streams in the living room window in the evening... perfect for a nap! All in all, a great experience. Thanks very much IreneBreigín2017-06-11T00:00:00Z
"The Flat" in Saintfield is a lovely AirBNB! Irene, Sam & their Golden Retriver, Mollie are fabulous Hosts who are so warm and friendly & will welcome you with open arms! Irene & Sam's "Flat" was beautiful & clean with our own private entry. It's a lovely 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom flat with a darling kitchen (stocked with delicious breakfast items, fruit & snacks) plus a small living room. The location was perfect; in a very nice & quiet neighborhood. The Main Street and small town is just a quick & easy 10-minute walk from the home, which is very convenient if you don't have your own car. The town of Saintfield is adorable! It has a nice market, local butcher & bakery. There is also a selection of very good restaurants and cafés in the area. We had some excellent meals at the "White Horse Inn", "Flaming Crust Pizza", which is actually attached to the "White Horse", and the "Lucky Boat" Chinese Restaurant, which also delivers! We had several lunches and breakfasts at a wonderful and quaint restaurant/coffee café called the "The Saint" where the staff was wonderful and friendly! The owners bake everything fresh daily including some of the most delicious Scones we have ever had and that's saying a lot as we have been traveling in both Scotland & Ireland, where we ate many scones! Also coming highly recommended from Irene, was Marty from MotorMarty Taxi Service! He took us on some fantastic tours around Belfast and to the Northern Coast and we had a wonderful time! Since Marty was born in Belfast, he was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of important facts with us. He was available for quick Taxi trips around the area as well as longer Tours. Thank you again Irene & Sam; you are the best! We appreciated all your wonderful suggestions for things to do & see in your area. We will definitely come back to beautiful Saintfield & stay at "The Flat" again! We will miss you all very much! Chas & JillCHAS 2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

Wonderful accommodation - even better than the pictures. So clean and cosy, warm welcome from the host and milk, fruit and bread in the fridge. You will not regret booking to stay at The CastleSarah2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
We thoroughly enjoyed our little stay at the castle - it was wonderfully cozy, immaculately clean and the hosts were very welcoming. The flat had everything we required including some lovely added extras, such as welcome goodies in the fridge. The only thing that wasn't great was the weather but that gave us the excuse of snuggling up on the enormous sofa! We will definitely be back!Kristina2016-04-05T00:00:00Z
This was our first Airbnb experience and it has definitely set the bar high! Such a lovely apartment, exactly as the pictures show, thoroughly clean and in such a lovely area. The fridge was stocked with breakfast essentialls which we weren't expecting at all. Both the hosts were very welcoming and helpful when it came to recommending places to eat etc. Will definitely use again in the future.Abigail2016-09-01T00:00:00Z
An off the cuff decision to stay at The Castle Apartment was certainly a stroke of luck. Fantastic apartment with all that we needed, beautiful location and enjoyed a wonderful meal and some entertaining local company at the Lobster Pot just a few doors down. Made to feel very welcome, host very helpful and a very comfortable, but far too short, stay. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing, comfortable stopover, but make sure you allow a few days to make the most of the region.Christine2016-10-20T00:00:00Z
We had a great time at the castle apartment. Fantastic facilities and a lovely decking area at the back. Lots of lovely things left for breakfast too. It's a stone's throw away from lovely restaurants and the ferry. Thanks for the great stay!Helen2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

Claire was a phenomenal host! Super accommodating to our increasingly late arrival times (apologies again) and genuinely a wonderful person. Her guest house is beautifully decorated and very tidy. We felt instantly at home! Plus, Claire has many friendly animals that we loved getting to meet. We'll definitely never forget feeding her alpacas. We really appreciated her going above and beyond and were sad to have only booked her place for a night, as my mom and I both agreed it was our favorite place we stayed while traveling around Ireland.Alexis2017-08-08T00:00:00Z
Claire was a great host! Really liked our first ever Air BnB. A great place to relax on our trip.Brian2017-09-12T00:00:00Z
Your own wee piece of the country.... Claire a very pleasant, helpful host going the extra mile by leaving us to the wedding we were attending... Don't thing this will be are last visitJackie&Alan2017-08-06T00:00:00Z
If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city BUT still be an easy drive to Belfast this is the place!! Quiet, well appointed, relaxing and the perfect base for exploring Belfast and Northern Ireland. Claire was prompt in confirming our reservation, available for questions and just a great host. Will come back here without hesitation!!Tom2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Claire's place was the perfect spot for my girlfriend and I to relax after adventuring through Ireland and Northern Ireland. It was exactly as described/pictured in her posting which can be rare. Awesome place and even more awesome hosts!Thomas2017-08-13T00:00:00Z
What an amazing little hideaway. We were looking somewhere that would be dog friendly, quiet and a base to explore but we got more. A very warm welcome from Claire, Monty and Flynn on arrival made us feel very welcome from the minute we stepped out of car. The accommodation was perfect, very clean and homely and a nice little touch of welcoming gifts for both us and the dog. Everything you need is in Drumlin Barn even a little bluetooth speaker to chill out when the weather is bad. Highly recommended and we will be back. Looking forward to our next stay.. Thanks Claire.Philip2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

This house is so quirky, 10 of us stayed here for family gathering locally. The house has great spaces downstairs for chilling out and entertaining, the bar is an added bonus for the late nighters as its secluded and thus no noise pollution upstairs. Beautiful outdoor space and great location in centre of town. We loved it!Eloise2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
This is a fabulous house for a family get together. So many rooms and facilities. Everything provided. Wonderful private, safe, garden at back if you have children, we had 3 and they enjoyed the space. House is close to everything and if you get the sunshine, which we did, there's nowhere nicer. Highly recommended!Grace Constance2017-05-28T00:00:00Z
Hosts lovely people. Frenzy and accommodating. The house easily catered for our party of 10 people. Handy location. Good beds and bathrooms. Had lovely breakfast in secluded rear garden. Well worth a stayBrendan2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

Rock Angus house was fantastic! It is in a great location right in the middle of the village with lovely little bars and restaurants with in 2 minutes walk. the bakery right beside the house was a big hit, with all the local breads and cakes. yum yum. The house is huge , bigger than described with a safe enclosed garden , 2 sitting rooms a large dinning area and it,s own irish pub. (should you want to stay in ). The kitchen is large and modern , as are the bathrooms. Great hosts, with lots of local tips given on things to do and see. You could easily spend a week here and not see and do everything that the area has to offer.Eddy2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

Richard's appartement is heel ruim en compleet met woonkamer, slaapkamer, keuken, badkamer met aparte jacuzzi-ruimte. Door deze ruimte en compleetheid lijkt het ons ook heel geschikt voor een langer verblijf dan de 3 nachten die wij er nu verbleven. Via de park & ride vanaf Dundonald hadden we een uitstekende verbinding naar het centrum van Belfast. Al met al een uitstekende uitvalsbasis voor een bezoek aan Belfast en omgeving. We hebben er met veel plezier verbleven.Jos2017-09-22T00:00:00Z
Very nice place - small but very neat, clean, and tidy. Richard was very accommodating of our late arrival time and also left out some milk, eggs etc. for our breakfast. Overall a great place to stay.Conor2017-05-07T00:00:00Z
Richard was very welcoming and relaxed. We so appreciated the eggs from the garden chickens he left for us. The photos on Airbnb were very accurate. The sunny terrace and beautiful garden made for a enjoyable stay.Verity2016-06-03T00:00:00Z
We had a great time at Richard's place. It is much more spacious than the photos indicate and even though it is a basement flat the lounge, kitchen and bedroom have a lot of light. There is even a lovely outside private patio area that you can use. Everything you need is provided to ensure a comfortable stay including full laundry facilities and great wifi. The location is great- it is on a main road so it is easy to find but the flat is quiet and tucked away from the traffic noise. It takes 20-30 minutes to drive to Belfast and it is an easy drive. We were interested in driving the causeway scenic route and Richard's place is ideally located for this. Richard was great and made us feel very welcome and gave us some useful suggestions for things to see. We wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend Richards place....you can see why he is a super host!Keith/Cath2016-10-01T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place in Newtownards. Richard is friendly, and has made the flat very comfortable for guests. The flat is close (15-20mins) to all the Belfast attractions but is still quiet to spend some time relaxing on the porch.Rob2016-07-19T00:00:00Z
We had a relaxing break at Richard's place. It was very lovely, very spacious and comfortable. It was a lovely place for a relaxing few days. Though we didn't see Richard much, he made himself available should we need anything and gave us our privacy, and seemed very friendly and kind. Thanks Richard, the space is beautiful and very comfortable!Anais2017-04-04T00:00:00Z

Omdat we pas in de avond aankwamen en een paar dagen later ook vroeg weer vertrokken hebben we Pamela niet ontmoet. Maar dankzij de instructie van Pamela per email konden we gewoon naar binnen. Het appartement heeft een open haard en dat is zeker met koude dagen erg knus.Jan2016-11-07T00:00:00Z
We recommend staying here and hope to return ourselves. As a young family the apartment was our base for two weeks whilst visiting family and enjoying the uncharacteristically excellent weather, peaceful location and sandy beaches. Pamela & Ryan were most helpful and welcoming; and the apartment was comfortable, spacious and well equipped. At the other end of the road is the quaint Ballywalter seaside; although only a mile away bear in mind there are fairly narrow country roads with only grassy verges to walk on. For some (especially families) it's probably worth considering bringing/hiring a car or using taxis.Alison2017-06-28T00:00:00Z
Stayed here with two small children while attending a wedding in Greyabbey. Beautiful part of the world and Pamela was a friendly and helpful host. Place is well stocked. Especially enjoyed the bath with the jets and the bottle of wine that treated us on arrival.Alison2017-08-07T00:00:00Z
This hideaway property is an excellent location for a quiet getaway but in syaing that, it is easily accessable from either side of the Ards peninsula. Ballywalter Main Street is within two miles where pubs, shops and the beach can be found. On arrival, I called at the main house to let Pamela know that I had arrived and she immediately showed me to and around the appartment. A 'tourist pack' provided details of what was out and about and there were phone numbers for the local taxi and takeaways. As anyone can see from the photographs, it is a very very nice appartment and has all the amenities anyone would wish for. Pamela was an excellent host and I have already recomended this appartment to family members and friends.Colin2016-07-06T00:00:00Z

I had a great night's sleep in such a comfortable setting - the whole apartment was well-equipped and everything was easy to find. The huge bathroom was a bonus, especially for getting ready for a wedding!Gemma2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

Absolutely lovely flat - gorgeous views and filled to the brim with character! Loved the huge clawfoot bathtub and playing Scrabble on the balcony. The reading nook in the bell tower was filled with lovely holiday books and children's books and toys. The balcony offers a perfect view of the mansion at Castle Ward as well as the tower which is used as Winterfell in Game Of Thrones. The sunset over the lough and stargazing from the balcony were just the icing on the cake. Can't recommend this place highly enough!! We'll definitely be back :-)Malca2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
The loft Portaferry is exactly as described. It's massive clean comfortable and secure. There loads of on street parking and everything is within walking distance. The view is absolutely perfect. Plenty of room for six. All the joining instructions and communication were very easy. As a base to tour the area it's great. Try Strangford, Echlinville distillery, Kearney, Cloughy, or just walk along the coast. It's a beautiful location. An easy drive to Downpatrick, Belfast, Stormont and the mountains at Newcastle. Would recommend the loft as a perfect Base.robert2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Juliette was very informative and helpful before and during our stay at The Old Barn. It was a lovely little converted barn with a very homely feel. Juliette provided us with logs and twigs for the log burner which was used regularly and added to the coziness of the barn. The beds where comfortable and the shower was powerful and the kitchen had all the utilities to do whatever you would require for cooking and washing. The barn was located out in the countryside on a farm owned by Juliette and her husband Jim, which had a lovely setting. Belfast was only a half hour drive from the barn too. We were over for work but i would definitely visit again for a holiday out in the country. Thanks JulietteGeorge2016-05-07T00:00:00Z
Lovely stay at The Old Barn, lots of space, very peaceful and comfortable. Beautiful area, will definitely go again. Juliette and Jim were very friendly and helpfulJan2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Juliette and her husband were very welcoming and went above and beyond accommodating us. The Old Barn is lovely and will make you feel right at home. The surrounding countryside is tranquil with beautiful views and walking paths. This was our favourite place to stay during our trip to Ireland. We stayed three nights and found many interesting things to do in the vicinity.Charles2016-07-19T00:00:00Z
We stayed a month at the Barn and we had a really really good time. Juliette and Jim are the best hosts ever and this is not an exaggeration! They are friendly and always helpful, they have a lot of tips for activities in the area. The accommodation is super cozy and lovingly furnished. In the Barn is really everything you need, you feel like at home! The most comfortable in the house are the heating beds, this is really great if it is a bit colder at night.

This is a terrific country living experience. From the fresh baked bread that greeted us on arrival to the lazy walks past horses, cows and sheep, it's a great spot but you're still 20-30 minutes by car from Belfast, so the best of both worlds. There are also great sites in Bangor like the Ulster Folk and Transport museum, which was a unique experience. The property was clean, comfortable and good for everything from lounging in the evenings to cooking meals. Bed was very comfortable, and we appreciated being able to stay here with our dog, who settled right in to country life. Now we can say we've slept in an old barley mill!Lauryn2017-01-04T00:00:00Z
We had the BEST time staying here! The house is beautiful and comes with every comfort imaginable. Every little thing is in top condition, and there were so many thoughtful little touches everywhere. They even made us a loaf of fresh bread, still warm from the oven when we arrived! We felt perfectly at home and so we'll take care of. We love animals so it was nice to have some friendly, happy dogs to pet! Also Ruán arranged a horse riding lesson for us at the Equestrian Centre next door, which was such a unique and exciting experience! I can't wait to come back someday!Amanda2015-12-21T00:00:00Z
We spent a lovely 6 night's in this beautiful home. There was a lovely warm welcome from the hosts, along with freshly baked bread, and a fridge stocked with sausages/rashers/pudding for a great breakfast on our first morning. This property is only a few minutes drive from Bangor, and about 30 minutes from Belfast. It made a great base for sightseeing around the North. The home has everything you might need, including toys/DVDs for the smaller guests. Thank you for a lovely stay.Emily2017-07-29T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay in Frances and Ruan's cosy, well-appointed converted mill building. The location was perfect for visiting family around the area and we welcomed the tranquility at night.

Thanks so much for a wonderful time!Michael2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
The house is located in the country and is next door to an equestrian centre. It is child and dog friendly. The welcome pack provided by the host was much appreciated.

Survive Your Child's First Game
Just moments ago you were shouting, "Go, Jackson, go" from the sidelines of the soccer field. Your 5-year-old, swimming in mesh shorts and a cotton T-shirt, shin guards up to his thighs, was running to the ball. He swung his foot back and made contact with those tiny cleats that required a special trip to the sporting goods store. He dribbled for a few feet before a teammate got the ball and started kicking in the wrong direction.
"That way," other parents yell.
As for you, you start asking, "What are you doing?"
There, where your kid lost possession of the ball, is a shower of grass. A tiny body, hot and tired, is sitting while picking at the field and tossing the blades into the air.
You stop and shake your head. This was not how you imagined your future World Cup champion kicking off his career.
But before you cross his name off the roster, here's what you'll need to get through that first game—and season.
Adjust Expectations
When children are first starting sports, they get the basics—and only the very basics. Get to ball. Kick ball. Kick ball into goal. Things like strategy and team play come later (sometimes much later, depending on the child). Be patient and enjoy the other things your kid is learning, like following directions and sportsmanship.
The benefits of hydration and fueling are stressed when adults work out, but it should be for kids, too. If you want your kid to have fun and play to the best of their ability, they need to have a good snack before and access to water or a low-sugar sports drink during the game. Make sure to get a good mix of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
Make Friends
There's a moment in every parent's life when they realizes that if their child is supposed to be social, they should be, too. Sitting back and sipping an iced coffee as your kid runs around might seem like a chance to enjoy a glorious hour of relaxation to yourself, but a simple "hello" to the fellow parents can go a long way in helping you enjoy your child's time on the field. Plus, it might help you make some connections so your child can work on their game off the field.
Let Your Child Take the Lead
Being involved in team sports should be fun for you and your child. If they want to sit in the grass, try to understand why instead of scolding them or scooping them off the field. If they don't want to go to practice and can tell you why, maybe take a night off or explore another sport. And, if they want to go for a second season, look for opportunities to continue. You never know—Team USA might have a spot in 2030.
Effective Soccer Shooting
Gretzky may have been a hockey player, but his quote about scoring goals is true in any sport–including soccer. A lot of students in our EduKick soccer camps and boarding schools start out with hesitation to shoot. We teach them take advantage of every opportunity. If you never shoot, you'll never score.
- Observe the goalkeeper's position. Have they left a gap that you can exploit?
- Select the best technique for your shot. A sidefoot shot will have greater accuracy, but an instep (laces) with good follow-through will have greater power.
- Put your non-kicking foot alongside the ball.
- Keep your head down and your eyes on the ball when striking.
- Keep your body over the ball.
- Make contact with the middle to top half of the ball.
- Maintain your composure.
Tips to improve your chance of scoring:
- Shoot wide rather than high. There's a better chance of getting a deflection that will wrong-foot the goalkeeper.
- Shoot low. It's harder for a keeper to reach shots along the ground because it's further for them to travel. It's easy for them to jump up and save, but much harder to crouch down and get it.
- Shoot across the keeper. It's tougher for them to hold these shots, and means they could divert the ball back into the path of another attacker.
Where Are the Most Shots Made?
Ever wondered if there's actually a "sweet spot" in a soccer goal? A place where you could kick the ball and it would go in almost every time?
Well, there may not be a definitive "sweet spot," but a recent study did take a look at where scored goals most often went into the net. Here are the results:
- Top Left: 8 percent
- Top Center: 4 percent
- Top Right: 5 percent
Ouch. As you can see, shooting high means you have a pretty low percentage of actually scoring.
- Middle Left: 7 percent
- Middle Center: 8 percent
- Middle Right: 6 percent
While you have a better chance of scoring if you shoot to the middle than up high, the odds still aren't much in your favor.
- Bottom Left: 22 percent
- Bottom Center: 21 percent
- Bottom Right: 19 percent
Look at these stats: 62 percent of all goals were scored low. This makes sense because it is very difficult for goalkeepers, especially tall ones, to get down to the ground. It's much easier and more natural for them to jump high.
Also, looking at the statistics, 67 percent of goals were scored in the corners versus 33 percent down the middle. If you combine the two statistics and shoot low into the corner, you should have a much greater success rate in scoring goals.
As with any soccer technique, you need to practice if you want to improve your shooting skills. Fortunately, the techniques used for shooting are similar to those used for passing. So you can build up two vital soccer techniques at the same time.
But most importantly: If you see the goal, shoot!
This one piece of advice is important enough to reiterate: You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take. If you see an opportunity to shoot, take it! The only way these tips can help you is if you implement them, both in practice and in games.
Know 3 Endurance Tests for Soccer Players
There are numerous fitness factors that are important in soccer. I have already described how much a player runs in soccer and in another article, I talked about how training can be manipulated to improve endurance.
Why the focus on endurance, when probably the biggest change in the game is the speed at which the game is played? Competitive male players cover about two-thirds of the game (females about three-fourths) at a walk or a jog. The better the endurance, the faster pace one can cover this large part of the game meaning the faster you get from one place on the field to another.
Also, the better the endurance, the faster one recovers from each hard run.
But how much endurance is enough? Obviously, the soccer player doesn't need the endurance of a marathoner, and along the spectrum of athletes, the endurance of the soccer player is really pretty average. But as team sports go, their endurance is among the best because the game demands decent endurance to be successful.
More: The 3 Best Formations for Youth Soccer
But again, how much is enough? How can a coach confirm that their team's endurance is improving or that their endurance is sufficient for play? The best way to tell if a player has good endurance is to test their endurance. That's pretty obvious, but how?
There are many tests of endurance. Here is a brief list of test methods:
VO2 Max
An athlete works progressively harder on a treadmill or cycle until they are unable to continue. Expired air is analyzed during the test and a statement of aerobic capacity is calculated as oxygen consumption in ml O2 / kg / min. Advantages: the gold standard for endurance testing. Disadvantages: expensive; requires a lab and skilled personnel to administer and interpret; only test one at a time; not soccer-specific running.
12-Minute Run
A team runs around a track as far as they can in 12 minutes. The results correlate to VO2 max. The score is how far the player ran in 12 minutes. Advantages: easy; only need a stopwatch and people to count laps. Disadvantages: pure endurance running, not soccer-specific running.
"Beep" Tests
These are 20-meter shuttle tests paced by an audiotape. There is a beep to start running, a beep when to arrive and turn at the 20-meter point, then a beep for when you are be back at the start line. The beeps continue until the athlete fails to keep the pace set by the audiotape. The score is the total distance covered (number of runs x 40 meters). Advantages: easy to do; you can test many players at once; just need the tape and a "boom box." Disadvantage: tears the field up (at the turn-around point).
There are many types of beep tests (also called Yo-Yo tests), but they all fall into one of two categories:
- Continuous beep tests: In this method, the athlete runs continuously as there is no break. The pace gradually increases.
- Intermittent beep tests: The pace gradually increases, but in this method, after each run, there is a brief (usually 10 seconds) recovery period.
More: Get Your Kids Interested in Soccer Through the FIFA Women's World Cup
There are other tests out there, but all are variations on these themes: lab test, timed distance run, beep tests.
I favor the intermittent beep test for a couple of reasons:
- It is soccer-specific running. Run for a distance (20 meters) change direction, run again (20 meters), then a brief rest.
- Other tests correlate better with VO2 max (like the 12-minute run and continuous beep), but this correlates with what is important to the coach: how far the player runs during the game.
Circumstances had a series of soccer players tested using the continuous beep test one day. About two weeks later, a subset of the first group was tested using the intermittent beep test. Using the continuous beep test, the goalkeepers were very close or even equal to the field players in total distance run. When tested using the intermittent beep test, the field players outran the goalkeepers by over 25 percent, which makes more intuitive sense for soccer.
Back to the question: How much endurance is needed? Using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test (its formal name), high school girls should be approaching 700+ meters and college should be near or over 1,000 meters.
National level women are typically 1,500 meters or higher and some exceptional players are over 2,000 meters. High school boys should be close to 1,000 meters, with national-level boys in the 1,500- to 2,000-plus-meter area.
These are all level 1 tests (slower start and slower progression). World-class adult men should be around 900 to 1,000 meters or more on the level 2 test (a faster start and much faster progression).
