Bernd Haussmann's abstract paintings have often exhibited a sensitive preoccupation with the natural world and his personal connection to it. Although born in Germany, Haussmann draws inspiration from the environs of the north shore of Boston and rural western Maine, where he owns homes.
Haussman has recently turned his attention to some of the most primitive and elemental organisms: the first clustered animal colonies at the bottom of the sea. He plays with delicate oceanic references to create lush aquatic environments in his new work, featured in "Darwin's Coral" at Emily Amy Gallery through July 7.
Employing the subtle use of primarily pastel palette and an array of manipulation techniques, the artist builds layered, textured surfaces that suggest a densely saturated underwater panorama. Light plays on the textured puckerings of the paint, mimicking the veiny branches of coral that shimmer on the surface. The layers of pigment achieve a sense of depth that is soothing and sometimes entrancing.
The larger paintings are sometimes flanked by much smaller satellite works; a dialogue ensues, each informing the other with complementary color schemes or the suggestion of different plays of light. Notions of evolution also seem to inform Haussman's creative process, lending an organic sensibility that is expressed in the mutations and color shifts from one panel to the next.
Donald Sultan is one of the leading American contemporary still-life artists and has been shown and collected by leading galleries and museums around the world. Known for his large compositions of flowers, fruit and other objects, Sultan has garnered accolades for his modern approach to traditional still lifes, often created using unconventional industrial materials such as linoleum, tar and rubber.
The prints in his robust "Flower Series" at Alan Avery Art Company border on abstraction in their use of bold contrast and repetitive shapes. The large blossoms vie for space within the full-to-bursting prints, but Sultan's keen spatial sensibility and technical precision establish harmony between the organic forms and the equally important negative spaces they inhabit. Massive monochromatic petals hang suspended between tar-black textured spaces, creating a push/pull that feels evenly weighted, effortless and conceptually pleasing.
Also at Avery, Abstract Expressionist painter Caio Fonseca exhibits an exciting selection of work. From a family of artists (his father Gonzalo, a sculptor, and his brother Bruno), the Uruguayan-born Fonseca spent 15 years honing his craft in Europe and South America. He employs a reductive process to arrive at his finished works, painting in partial layers that continually accrue, overlapping previous forms, sometimes abrading the surface and, ultimately, achieving new abstractions. The curvilinear geometry of his forms, especially those of his black-and-white compositions such as "Fifth Street P11.9" and "Fifth Street C12.5," has often been compared to piano lids, quarter notes and the bodies of cellos or violins. He is a classical pianist, after all.
In "Fifth Street C09.9," amber and ocher streaks of oil paint provide a foil for the layering of Fonseca's more formal off-white curvilinear abstractions. Here his work feels more mature and studied; the final mark-making he employs creates more cohesion. He corrals a stylized rigor and a lyrical sense of whimsy into equilibrium.
In his more tonal works, such as the massive "Pietrasanta C06.19," Fonseca's heavily worked canvases play with the relationships among elemental forms in a horizontal field. The rhythms of the forms exposed on the striated, pale surface superficially resemble the notations of a musical score, but they convey an inner poetry that is beyond this facile comparison. His paintings resonate with a visual logic and understated beauty that is both deeply engaging and utterly sublime.
The High Museum of Art will screen "Painter: Caio Fonseca," a documentary film by Michael Gregory, in the Walter C. Hill Auditorium at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 13. Reservations required (through Alan Avery).

There are always positives to be found among the downsides. If the disease or diagnosis, and the various associated matters weigh heavily, it helps to look for all the positive things in life that weigh against this. To achieve that balance, a caregiver needs to be prepared to talk, ask questions and not serve answers like an automaton.

If you encounter a snake on the greenbelt or on the trails, don't panic! Giving it a wide berth is the best thing to do. Let it be. Don't provoke it. It will likely try to get away from you as quickly as possible. While on the trails, be on the look out on rocky, sunny areas, logs across the trail, pockets of leaves, etc., but the chances of having any problems with a snake are very slim. Like any wild animal, they're more afraid of you than you are of them.
In the rare occurrence that you are bitten, what should you do? Most treatment for snakebites is pretty much the same, no matter the type of snake. You should get to the hospital as soon as possible for an anti-venom treatment. The less movement, the better. Being calm is important. If you're by yourself, and it's your leg, try to hop out. If it's your hand, wrist, or arm, hold it as still as you can, and get help as quickly as you can.
But know that even if a snake is venomous, they don't inflict a lot of venom in their bites; they're just being defensive, not trying to kill you. With a coral snake bite, you can put a restrictive band, like an Ace bandage or a shoe string, over the skin to cut off the venom from spreading.

As Congress reconsiders various tax breaks it voted into existence (home mortgage deductions, etc.), could 529s come in for increased scrutiny and possible elimination? According to a GAO report, the revenue lost due to 529-related tax breaks was an estimated $1.6 billion in fiscal year 2011 alone. In its report, the GAO reiterates its previous recommendation to Congress that it revisit tax expenditures like those from 529 plans from time to time. "We have recommended in the past that tax expenditures be periodically reviewed to determine their effectiveness in achieving specific policy goals, particularly given the nation's long-term fiscal imbalance," the report says.
This recommendation, however, is highly unlikely to get much traction in Congress, experts says. The plans are great PR for state officials who aren't likely to give them up without a fight. Government web sites typically tout their "commitment to education" demonstrated by their continued support of their state's 529 plan (see the web site of West Virginia's Treasurer, John Perdue, for an excellent example.)
And they're widely used: A 2012 survey by the College Savings Foundation found that 30% of families whose children are college-bound had a 529 account. And as John Hurley, who bills himself as the "529 Guru," notes on his website, most members of Congress no doubt themselves invest in 529s for their children and grandchildren. Most importantly perhaps, President Obama and the First Lady have made "very large contributions" to 529 plans, naming their daughters, Malia and Sasha, as beneficiaries.

Plus OneBook - 2014

CommentAdd a Comment
I loved the world-building aspect of this novel. Looking forward to reading more by this author.
Soleil Le Coeur lives in a world where part of the population, called Smudges, live and work in the dark night and the other part, known as Rays, live and work during the day. When she makes the choice to kidnap her niece so that her sick grandfather can meet her, everything falls apart. Plus One is a great book for teens who love a little romance and a lot of adventure. The beauty of the book is increased because of how the author addresses prejudice and liberty in a unconventional way.

If you're thinking of looking at luxury real estate for sale in southwest Florida, or if you're seeking to relocate your family or retire in a friendly, diverse community here, let us give you a tour of the luxurious single-family homes for sale in Bradenton's beautiful Holiday Heights community. Although Holiday Heights was platted in the 1930s, construction of the single-family homes there did not begin in earnest until the 1960s. Since then, Holiday Heights has consistently been known as a desirable neighborhood popular with families, single professionals, and retirees too.
Homes for sale in Bradenton's Holiday Heights are desirable for a number of reasons. Most of the Holiday Heights homes for sale are durable, brick or concrete-block, single-story homes in Mediterranean and ranch-style designs. Many of this beautiful neighborhood's homes have recently been upgraded or remodeled, and the new Holiday Heights Neighborhood Association has quickly gained prominence by promoting community pride and neighborliness with a number of scheduled events such as community yard sales and cookouts.
Beautiful majestic pines and towering palms complement the rich beauty of Holiday Heights. For all of its sublime natural beauty and its sense of seclusion, Holiday Heights is located just minutes from bustling downtown Bradenton, a city widely acclaimed for its many superlative shopping, dining, and recreational venues. The barrier islands and sparkling Gulf beaches are also only just minutes away, and a number of world-class golf courses sit less a half hour from Holiday Heights. The seclusion you seek, the convenience you need, and the luxury you deserve might all be found in one of the luxurious homes for sale in Bradenton's beautiful Holiday Heights.
Home Styles: 2BR and 3BR single-family homes and luxury homes.
Home Prices: Homes for sale can range in price beginning from approximately $200,000 and up.
Environment: Holiday Heights' location east of 26th Street West and north of 53rd Avenue West means there is no through traffic in the neighborhood. Towering pines and majestic palms provide shade to most lots and throughout the community.
Nearby: Bayshore High School, Manatee Community College, Manatee County Shopping Center, Orange Blossom Plaza. The barrier islands and Gulf beaches are only minutes away, and Pine Lakes is near plenty of convenient churches, shopping and dining venues, and medical facilities.

Does a person face the risk of considering suicide or even committing it?
Does it seem like grieving?
Is it a bad experience? Or a good one?
Is it better to be an atheist or a theist?
Is it a shock to deal with with professionals or they can do nothing to help?
OR would life be happier and more liberating?
OR would it be neutral and nothing changes?
For me, being comfortable with being an atheist happened in two stages of learning. The first stage of learning is that stage where I have learnt enough to no longer believe. The second stage was when I learnt enough to be comfortable with no longer believing that there is a god.
Even though I was not too indoctrinated with the religion I grew up in, I went through some physical and emotional state of 'numbness', which other atheists told me they have NOT gone through. I realised that the biggest reason why I felt that was because there were so many unanswered questions in my mind. Questions like: if there is no god then why this or why that? If there is no god, then how should I live my life etc...
So, I have spent a year or so of my life having gone through that process, researching and learning. After that process, I feel so much free-er now.
Just because we realise that there is no god, it doesn't mean we all become Nihilistic. This is a threat that religious leaders keep making to scare people that losing your belief in their silly concept of god, leads to a state of helplessness and depression. The reality is that when I realised there could be no way gods or gods can exist, and understood more of how we got here instead, I felt more free, more in awe of the universe, more appreciative of all life and more grateful for everything and everyone I have in my life.
You do not have to declare to yourself that you are now an atheist. All you need to do is not to be afraid to read books, watch documentaries and keep learning. Associate more with other atheists if you need to substitute the social benefits that religion provided you. Eventually, you come to a point where your intellect, your rationality, your reason has allowed you to understand enough, and no longer will becoming an atheist a choice, but rather, just a natural resolution. For me, becoming an atheist was mentally and emotionally liberating.

So Fun to Change a Few Things
Well a couple weeks later, our park was having a big garage sale. And I found a gate. $2.00! It was with timidness, I asked my hubby if we could hang it on that wall. So down the pics came....
You can sort of see them in the above pic.....I kinda liked them, but....
I LOVE the gate. It isn't old, but with all the black I have it is perfect!
Off to HobLob and I splurged on this burlap wreath. I rarely spend the money for something like this until it is on sale....but I KNEW it was what I wanted!
While there....I found this sign on clearance for our cabin....
And finally, we bought a rug in Payson for the cabin. But it would not lay on the carpet that was there....so, I brought it home and put in in the living area. Then I thought, oooh, I would like another for the dining room. Well, it took 2 stores, but we found it! Thank you Jesus!
By the way, I usually have a tablecloth on the table, but I decided to let the wood show. I absolutely LOVE this set....
Ok, so that was all my money for the month!! Good thing next month is my birthday!!
It makes me feel so good to have a fresh look, even in this tiny home!!

I can never find a gate! I'm looking for something ORNAMENTAL or INDUSTRIAL all the time, to go behind our wood burning stove. We've no mantel. We just have this UGLY metal panel on the wall to protect the wall and deflect heat.
I did hang up a couple of child sized folding METAL chairs back there...but it sort of looks like clutter TO ME NOW!

Training and Development
When most people think of company training, the first thing that comes to mind is "inconvenience." Training conjures images of sudden scheduling; disruption of their personal life; travel; long, drawn out sessions and a sense of relief mixed with futility when it is over. Hardly the best mindset for learning!
What is Training?
Training, by definition, is:
1.To coach in or accustom to a mode of behavior or performance. 2.To make proficient with specialized instruction and practice. 3.To teach and form by practice; to educate; to exercise; to discipline 4.An activity leading to skilled behavior (15)
Training in the workplace is a process whereby people acquire capabilities to aid in the achievement of organizational goals; it provides employees with specific, identifiable knowledge and skills for use in their present job. (12)
Why is Training Important?
Training is important because many human resource professionals are having a difficult time finding qualified entry level workers who posses the basic reading, writing and reasoning skills needed for today's workplace. In some cases, employers must complete the basic training that they believe high schools and technical colleges fail to provide. A high school diploma, and sometimes even a college degree, is not an indicator of the skills a person should have. The gap between the well educated, well skilled, and the non-educated, non-skilled is becoming more obvious due to the decline in manual labor jobs. (10)
Training is also important in aiding in underemployment and employee retention. Many students come out of college and are recruited into jobs that aren't challenging and move them along slowly. They then quit in search for other opportunities. Ongoing training would keep these students interested and learning new and challenging things, also enabling them to move up quicker. (10)
There are many competitive pressures facing organizations today that require them to have employees whose knowledge, and ideas are current, and whose skills and abilities deliver results. Employees who must adapt to the mass amount of changes happening within organizations must be training continually in order to maintain their capabilities. (12)
Many companies realize that training and development are integral to competitive business success. They realize that without continual training, organizations may not have employees with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to compete effectively. With technology ever changing and evolving, training is key in keeping these businesses alive. (12)
Training, essentially, is an additional source of business revenue for many organizations. When people are properly trained how to perform job functions, or use products, it increases customer loyalty and satisfaction.
What Training is Needed?
Since training is designed to help organizations accomplish their objectives, it only makes sense that assessing the organizational training needs would be the first phase in setting their training objectives. The goal is to understand all the business issues driving the need for change. This phase identifies key measures that training would impact, such as revenue, win rate, new customer relationships or account penetration. It also determines the performance standards for skills, effort or strategic approach. (7) At the same time, assessment explores the challenges facing employees. This can take a variety of forms including surveys, interviews and simulations. Employee's perceptions of their strengths and weaknesses, together with parallel readings from managers, allow the prioritization of needed training. (7)
This assessment considers employee and organizational performance issues to determine if training can help. It is also very important to consider non-training factors such as compensation, organizational structure, job design, and physical work settings.

Opportunity Strategy is Very Different from Modern Risk Management.
Create Opportunity or Stagnate
Our job is to help the enterprise be more capable and more effective than its best competitor when it comes to recognizing, selecting, developing and commercializing opportunity. Opportunity might lie within the boundaries of a competitive strategy or it might be the genesis of a new one. The bottom line is that growth is the superior strategy for creating value. Do you know what your growth premium is? We do!
The Role of Leadership
The role of leadership is to design the "opportunity game plan," the overall, integrated approach to accomplish this job. It involves gathering the necessary capabilities and processes, organizing them, and making sure the job gets done. The world is blessed with an abundance of tools, techniques, models, approaches for various forms of creativity, decision making, problem solving, resource allocation, culture shaping, and so forth. This is not where the gap is. The gap, in our experience, is the creation of the opportunity game plan, managing its effectiveness and fixing it when it goes off track. Our role with management is to help design and establish an organization that is the "opportunity creation muscle" with the power and resilience to deliver opportunities for value creation.
Opportunity Management
Skillful Opportunity Management is central to the competitive success of an enterprise. If your company is not better than your best competitor at Opportunity Management, your market value will diminish and your shareholders will lose confidence.
The Board's Opportunity Role
The role of the board is to assure that management and the organization are up to the company's ambitions and challenges and to lend appropriate input and insight. True value-seeking boards take an active role in overseeing the enterprise's "opportunity strategy" and balancing that with Risk Management. Our role is to help Boards, CEO's and senior executives balance the Risk/Opportunity scales and to ensure that strategies do not fail because of the inability to find opportunities and bring them to life.

The demo's pretty hype. I'm picking it up next week when I get paid.It's also pretty nice how it comes with the first game.
Tuppy frightens me with his knowledge of legacy technology.
Good job! I, Viewtifulboy, declare you the CHAMPION!
I wouldn't trust reviews they somehow wrote on a game before it even came out.
words can't describe how i feel right now

We Are About Relationships
In keeping with our mission as a congregation to be about relationships, Christ UMC is committed to extending love and care to members of our church family, particularly when they find themselves in situations of special need. Below are listed various ways we do this through the work of our Congregational Care Committee. If you want to know more about the committee and their work, please contact Rev. Mark Price by email or at 790-2112.
Stephen Ministry (contact person: Ken Nye)
Stephen Ministers are trained lay care-givers who offer one-on-one support and caring to people in our congregation and community who are hurting. They may have experienced the death of a loved one, a divorce, an illness, an unplanned job change, stress or other issue. Our Stephen Ministers are equipped to listen, to love and to embody the compassion of Christ.
Prayer Shawl Ministry (contact person: Cheryl Stanley)
The tradition of the prayer shawl derives from the ancient ritual garment worn by Jewish men, called the tallit. This piece of rectangular cloth featured corner fringes designed to remind the wearer to keep the Torah. The Christ UMC Prayer Shawl Ministry team meets monthly, typically the last Thursday of the month at lunchtime, to knit and bless beautiful, woolen garments for the purpose of giving them to people as tangible reminders of God's love and care for them.
Bereavement Meals (contact person: Ouida Greer)
As an expression of hospitality and care to those members who have experienced the loss of a loved one, the Congregational Care Committee will manage the work of meal preparation during the day of the funeral or memorial service.
New Parent Meals (contact person: Laura Robertson)
As an expression of hospitality and care to those members who have just celebrated the birth of baby, the Congregational Care Committee will assist in setting up an online meal calendar.
Red Cross Blood Drive (contact person: Janet Charlton)
Each quarter, Christ UMC hosts a Red Cross blood drive in the Fellowship Hall on a Sunday morning.
Homebound Member Communion (contact person: Janet Charlton)
For those members who become homebound due to physical disabilities or chronic health-related issues and are unable to attend church on a Communion Sunday for an extended period of time, a member of the Congregational Care Committee will bring the elements of Holy Communion to them on those occasions.
Homebound Member Visitation (contact person: Marne' Price)
Members of our congregation commit to visiting and developing a relationship with members not able to attend services on a regular basis. This is a new program and is still taking shape at this time.
Card Ministry (contact person: Robin Kennedy in the church office)
Volunteers write and send birthday cards to members throughout the year.

Happy Monday everyone! This is the week I finally take my certification test for work, and boy will I be happy to be done with it! Pass or Fail, it will be nice to get back to working on projects for the blog! Today, I want to introduce you to Shatzi, from Love and Laundry! She will be showing us how to make our own pillowcases! Thanks for being here Shatzi! ~Robyn
How to make the Easiest Pillowcase Ever; Guest Post by Shatzi from Love and Laundry
Hi Robyn's View readers! I'm so excited Robyn let me guest post here today!! My name is Shatzi and I blog over at Love and Laundry. I'm a mom of three kiddos. And I love crafting, sewing, cooking and playing with my kids. But I definitely don't love laundry. That's kind of a joke.
But, really I love all kinds of fun and easy projects. And if I can do it, you can definitely do it, too!
Today, I'm sharing a fun and easy pillowcase project. Back when I was in college, I decided that I wanted to learn to sew, so I took a beginners sewing class. It was so awesome! I learned so many basic sewing techniques that have been the basis for learning so much more! One of the first projects we completed was a super simple pillowcase. And it's sewn perfectly because there are NO raw edges to finish when you're done.
The technique to make this is really clever. I don't know who came up with it, but it is pretty darn awesome!
Here's what you need to make a standard sized pillowcase:
3 different coordinating fabrics. We used fabrics that match the quilt I'm working on for my daughter's bed.
Main fabric – 27-inches x 41-inches (buy 3/4 yard)
Cuff fabric – 11-inches x 41-inches (buy 1/3 yard)
Accent fabric – 3-inches x 41-inches (buy 1/8 yard)
The first step is to cut the bought fabric to the right dimensions. If you have a rotary cutter and mat, it will make your job a lot faster and easier. When I was in college, I just hand measured and cut everything. So, either way works.
After your fabric is cut, iron the accent piece in half length-wise wrong sides together.
Now, on the longest side, layer the three fabrics right sides up. Start with the cuff piece, add the main piece and finish with the accent piece. The raw edge of the accent piece should match the raw edge of the other fabrics.
With a few pins, pin along the edge to hold those in place.
Now, fold up the main fabric so that it fits inside the cuff fabric.
Then, fold over the cuff fabric to match with the pinned edge.
Pin it really well along the edge.
You're kind of making a fabric burrito. See?
Sew the raw edge with 1/4" seam allowance.
After it's sewn, reach in and pull all of the inner fabric out.
Then, press the cuff and accent fabric down.
Now to finish the rest of the pillowcase. It's finished with French seams, which means all of the seams are encased.
Pin the pillowcase WRONG sides together and pin.
Sew all around the raw edges with a 1/4" seam allowance.
Turn the pillowcase inside out and press the seams.
Still inside out, stitch along the edges with a 3/8-inch seam allowance.
The inside seams should turn out looking like this:
Turn it inside out, and press. And that's it! You're finished!!
Now it's time to go take a nap.
You can find me on my blog, Facebook, pinterest and twitter.

Raising the state minimum wage will help to build strong local communities and economies. That was the message from local business owners speaking at an event at Fork and Spoon Downtown Eatery in Bangor today, where supporters of a referendum to raise Maine's minimum wage celebrated the endorsement of 500 small businesses from across the state.
"Like so many other Maine small business owners, we already pay well above the current minimum wage," said Tim Rich, owner of The Independent Café in Bar Harbor. "No one can live on $300 per week and no one who works hard deserves to be paid that little. I want my employees to be able to support their families and thrive."
The referendum question on the ballot this November will ask Mainers if they'd like to raise the minimum wage in Maine from $7.50 to $9 in 2017 and then a dollar a year until it reaches $12 in 2020. It would also raise the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers from $3.75 to $5 in 2017 and then a dollar a year until it reaches $12 in 2024.
"I support raising the minimum wage because it's the right thing to do, it's good for my business, and will be a boost for the next generation of Maine entrepreneurs," said Patrick Kelley, owner of Clockwork Baking Company and the Coastal Café and Bakery in Searsport. "I truly believe that this referendum will not only help those 160,000 Mainers who will get a raise but help all of our communities will thrive."
Nearly a quarter of Maine's workforce would see a wage increase if the ballot measure passes, including one in three single parents in Maine. 90% of those affected are age 20 or older and include professions like home health aides, paramedics and education techs.
"When my parents were young, the minimum wage was much higher in real dollars. Young people could work minimum wage jobs during their high school and college years and make enough to pay their way through college. I can't do that today on $8 per hour," said Kirsten Costedio of Corinna, a college student who works at a casual restaurant in Newport. "That means it'll be harder for me to buy a house or start a business when I graduate. I may even have to leave Maine to find a higher-paying job."
The Maine Small Business Coalition (MSBC), which organized the event, also announced that next week they will be holding a "Fair Wage Restaurant Week," encouraging supporters to visit some of the more than 50 restaurants across the state that have endorsed the campaign.
"When you do, snap a photo of your meal, share it on social media, and include the hashtag FairWageME. We'll share some of our favorites and every photo enters you for a chance to win a gift card to one of these restaurants near you," explained MSBC director Will Ikard. "These are businesses that are standing up and doing the right thing and we should be sure to thank them for it.

Cooch Behar Palace, also popularly known as the Victor Jubilee Palace, is a brilliant construction situated in the city of Cooch Behar. This grand palace was constructed in 1887 and was rumoured to have been designed in the likeness of Buckingham Palace.
The Cooch Behar Palace was built during the reign of Maharaja Nripendra Narayan. This brick built palace is fortified and secured by the Archaeological Survey of India. The double-storeyed palace is modelled in the classical western style and is famous for its refinement of construction. The Rajbari, Palace of Kings, now stands as a museum showcasing various kinds of weapons, stamps and jewels. Few paintings and other relics from the Raj era have been preserved here and open to a number of visitors. Inside the palace, photography is strictly prohibited. The palace consists of well-crafted rooms including bedrooms, dancing room, dining hall, dressing room as well as a library.
The area is surrounded by refreshingly beautiful gardens which contribute to the overall glamour and grandeur of the palace. There is a large open area which is located in the front of the palace. The surrounding area is very well maintained and locals, as well as tourists, can be seen dotting the landscape.
A visit to Cooch Behar Palace is certainly an enriching experience and should be on every traveller's list.

|1,614 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
This is a spacious, fully air-conditioned family home that is ideal for two couples and up to two kids, just across the road from Fontane Bianche's sandy beaches. It's equipped for year round living with all the home comforts, but is especially idyllic in the Summer months. French doors flood the kitchen and dining room with natural light, providing sea views over the patio and lawn. The kitchen has a dishwasher and microwave oven in addition to gas hobs and a full size electric oven. There are two double bedrooms that face the back garden, plus a single room which accommodates two single beds. Two bathrooms have showers, the third has a bathtub. The study contains a desk, a small sofa and plenty of books to browse. The sitting room has a comfortable sofa and armchair, a flat screen television and a modern log fireplace that powers the central heating.
Outside, the patio is equipped with comfortable outdoor furniture and awnings for shade in the summer season. A light sea breeze makes it ideal for outdoor dining.
Kids love the large garden which has lemon, orange and olive trees. The barbecue has a large marble worktop and sink.
A separate laundry room with washing machine in the back garden has an extra shower, handy after a day at the beach.
There is private parking for three cars in front of the house.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
I'm a British writer and university instructor. My wife is Sicilian and works in the field of study abroad.
Peter Jinks purchased this villa in 2004
It is in a great location overlooking the bay, within easy reach of Siracusa and Noto. The motorway is less than ten minutes away for the airport and longer trips.
We fell in love with being close to the sea, and being able to get up and flop into the water on a Summer's day. But the garden is a joy too, full of fruit trees and herbs. The house is built of solid stone, so is both cool in Summer and warm in Winter. The barbecue has a great view of the sea that is best appreciated while grilling salsiccia with a cold drink in hand.
Nice and clean house with a big and beautiful garden with seaview. Convenient position if you want to visit the south east Sicily. Close to Siracusa, Ragusa, Modica and Noto. A few minutes walk to 2 small beaches. There is a small supermarket nearby. Nice and helpful host.
We enjoyed the situation of the villa being just across the road from the beach with good safe swimming and a restaurant. The garden was lovely and we enjoyed the lemons from the tree. There was a good bread shop just up the road and a useful grocery store. It was only 20 minutes drive into Syracuse which is lovely.
We were at the villa for 7 days and it was wonderful, it was equipped with everything you could need. We woke up every morning and opened the shutters to amazing views of the sea. The beach is literally on your door step and there is a fab restaurant there called La Malafemmina there.
Everything is spot on and recommend this villa.
We stayed at the Villa for two weeks with our 4 children. We arrived the last week of July. The property was even better then described! Huge enclosed garden, a big terrace with a sea view, 3 big bedrooms, 3 big bathrooms. A lot of space! The kitchen was really big and full equipped and barbecue outside. The separate washing room. A lot of books for adults and children and toys for the children. To minutes walk to a sandy beach and a local supermarket. 5 minutes walk to a local bakery. So we always had fresh bagels for breakfast. The bigger supermarket was just 10-15 min by car in Avola. Avola center was really nice. We visited Siracusa , Ortigia, Ragusa and mount Etna. Highly recommended. Siracusa was just 20 minutes away by car. Excellent weather through the whole stay. Excellent service and welcome. Peter was really helpful and responded right away to any questions we had through the whole stay.
We had an amazing vacation and already planning to come back next year!!!
Spacious Villa fully equipped with modern kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine. Just four minutes walk to a beautiful sandy beach. We enjoyed days that were spent on local beaches as well as driving to nearby Avola for good value shops and some excellent restaurants. We also traveled further on some days visiting majestic Noto, Scicli, and Siracuse. We also did a longer trip to experience the narrow gauge railway that runs around Mt Etna.
However, nothing beats sitting on the terrace of the Villa on a bright sunny day, with a cold drink before and after a visit to the two local beaches. Fabulous, except if it rains for several days.
We enjoyed a very relaxing week in this extremely spacious yet comfortable villa which more than lived up to our expectations. While the photographs are accurate, they somehow don't reflect the size and quality of this property. The villa was clean and well maintained and had all the equipment we needed. Wifi worked well the entire week and the DVD player proved a welcome bonus when the weather was stormy. The beautiful garden is large, enclosed and well kept, and the terrace has plenty of room for eating and relaxing. The road at the front of the villa is noisy but did not spoil our time outside. The beach is a short walk away and we were ideally situated for all of the locations we had planned to visit. Owner Peter promptly responded to our query before booking and local representative Carmen gave us a warm welcome and a detailed tour of the villa on arrival.
Vibrant in the Summer, nice and quiet off season, Fontane Bianche is where many Siracusans keep a second home to escape the heat of the city. It's very friendly and Italian, only a smattering of foreign tourists. There's great ice cream at Il Cubano gelateria, but there's also a very handy restaurant and spa within two minutes walk of the house called White Bay.
The local grocery store (again, two minute walk) sells panini, milk, fresh bread and general supplies. In Cassibile (five minutes drive) you can find more restaurants, shops, pharmacy etc. Cassibile is where you take the motorway: Catania airport is 50 mins away, Comiso airport 1 hour 30 mins, Palermo airport 3 hours 30 mins.
Please be aware that in August, Fontane Bianche fills up with holiday makers and the weekends can be noisy.

Myrtle Beach is one of the major centers of tourism in the United States because of the city's warm subtropical climate and extensive beaches, attracting an estimated 14 million visitors each year.As of the 2010 census, the population of the city was 27,109 with the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area population at 465,391 according to a 2013 estimate.

Location of Myrtle Beach in South Carolina
Technically a man-made island, Myrtle Beach has been separated from the continental United States since 1936 by the Intracoastal Waterway,forcing the city and area in general to develop within a small distance from the coast. In part due to this separation, the area directly west of Myrtle Beach across the waterway remained primarily rural, whereas its northern and southern ends were bordered by other developed tourist towns, North Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach. Since then, the inland portion of the Myrtle Beach area has developed dramatically and the beach itself is developing westward.
Due to strong erosion and tropical cyclones along the Atlantic Ocean, the city is separated from its beach by large dunes populated with sea grasses, which stabilize the sandy soil underneath and act as a natural seawall against storm surge. In conjunction, the city has also renourished the beach's sands several times, with one instance almost immediately followed by the landfalls of hurricanes Hugo and Hazel, necessitating a second replenishment to fill in the quick loss of the first.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 23.55 square miles (61.0 km2).
Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the Long Bay area was inhabited by the native Waccamaw Tribe. The Waccamaw used the river for travel and fished along the shore around Little River. Waties Island, the primary barrier island along Long Bay, has evidence of burial and shell mounds, remains of the visiting Waccamaw.
The first European settler along Long Bay arrived in the late 18th Century, attempting to extend theplantation system outward towards the ocean. Records are sparse from this period, with most of the recorded history pieced together from old land grants documents.
These settlers were met with mixed results, producing unremarkable quantities of indigo and tobacco as the coast's soil was sandy and most of the crop yields were of an inferior quality.
Prior to the American Revolution, the area along the future Grand Strand was essentially uninhabited. Several families received land grants along the coast, including the Witherses: John, Richard, William, and Mary. This family received an area around present-day Wither's Swash, also known as Myrtle Swash or the eight-Mile Swash. A separate grant was granted to James Minor, including a barrier island named Minor Island, now Waties Island, off of the coast near Little River.
Mary Wither's gravestone at Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church speaks to the remoteness of the former Strand: "She gave up the pleasures of Society and retired to Long Bay, where she resided a great part of her life devoted to the welfare of her children."
As the American colonies gained independence, the area remained essentially unchanged, and the coast remained barren. George Washington scouted out the Southern states during his term, traveling down the King's Highway. He stayed a night at Windy Hill (part of present-day North Myrtle Beach) and was led across Wither's Swash to Georgetown by Jeremiah Vereen.
The Withers family remained one of the few settlers around Myrtle Beach for the next half-century. In 1822, a strong hurricane swept the house of R. F. Withers into the ocean, drowning 18 people inside. The tragedy made the Withers family decide to abandon their plots along the coast.

We are focused like a laser on Paris today..
There is a solo news conference from President Obama today at 10:30am.. that is expected to go at least an hour. Our full 11am hour will be devoted to the terror attacks, the news conference and analysis after the presser ends.
1030EST -- POTUS holds solo news conference. Antalya, Turkey. (HOST LIVE/STIX/TP TAPE)
The Eiffel Tower remains closed today as flags around the world are lowered half-staff in honor of the 129 people killed and more than 300 injured in the coordinated series of terror attacks on Paris Friday night.
France had a moment of silence at Noon today for the victims.
A Belgian is being pointed to as the mastermind of the attacks.. Abdelhamid Abaaoud is also suspected of being linked to attacks on a Paris high-speed train and a Paris church. 7 people have been arrested in Belgium.. that has become a hotbed of radicalized Muslim terrorists.
An international manhunt is underway for another Belgium resident - Abdeslam Salah is 26 years old, and was born in Brussels of Muslim descent. He is the brother of two of the terrorists involved. He was likely involved in the attacks, and was briefly questioned by police after the attacks near the French border with Belgium, but was let go.
There have been raids across Belgium and France, and French authorities believe as many as 20 people may have been involved in the attacks. France carried out more than 160 raids.
Parts of France and Belgium have become hotbeds for radical Islam, and are seen as increasingly dangerous to Western democracies. Many expect a crackdown on illegal immigration to Europe from the Middle East and Northern Africa.
President Obama says it is continuing with plans to resettle as many as 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. He also says he won't send U.S. troops to battle ISIS inside Syria and Iraq.
It is becoming a much bigger issue in the race for the White House. The Democrats had a debate on CBS Saturday night, and it turned into a debate on national security.
Both Turkey and Iraq have said they warned the French about the possibility of a terror attack, and about two of the individuals involved. Turkey says it wanted France about one of the bombers in 2014. Iraq says it warned of an imminent attack a day before the assaults.
The G-20 meeting in Turkey is focusing on a coordinated response to the terror attacks, and on what to do about Syria. It wraps up today in Antalya, Turkey, and President Obama has met with our closest European allies, but has also had several long conversations with Russian President Putin.
France and the United States have dramatically stepped up air strikes on parts of Syria seen as hosting radical Islamic terrorists.. place like Raqqa, Syria.

The Problem:
Our customer came to us complaining of short filter life in their dust collector which was collecting off their laser cutting table. As the filters plugged up, the smoke began to escape from the table. They always knew when their filters were plugged because of the odors and dust build up in the room. The smoke and dust that was no longer being sucked into the dust collector, was ending up in the air and in the lungs of their employees.
They have a 5' x 10' Mazak laser table. The dust collector they were using had 8 vertical filters and about 3,000 CFM. At best they were getting around 400 hours of filter life before their filters were plugged. It was at the point where they did not even need to look at their pressure gage. They could tell their filters were plugged based on the dust settling on their parts and the smell in the air. The fact that they were running almost 24-7 meant they were changing filters every two or three weeks.
This was an expensive situation.
Although we knew a new dust collector was the answer, we tried various filters which promised big results. Needless to say, nothing greatly improved the situation. The answer was a new dust collector with a better filter cleaning system and a better air-to-cloth ratio.
The ACT Solution:
We sold the customer an ACT 3-12 with 7.5 HP motor/blower rated for 3,000 CFM @ 10".
A combination of our excellent filter cleaning system and the improved air-to-cloth ratio gave them the results they had originally hoped for. The filters are now lasting much longer and they are no longer noticing the dust around the shop or the odor associated with the laser cutting.
They are extremely pleased with their new ACT 3-12 dust collection system.
A.C.T. Dust Collectors offer the ultimate in air filtration. Whether your application includes welding smoke, grinding dust, cutting table fume, shot blasting, sanding, thermal spray, coating, bulk powder handling or any process that generates dust, we have the solution.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Everyone will tell you: when you have kids, you'll make new friends. Kids come with a seemingly unending calendar filled with events such as school, extracurricular activities, birthday parties and more. But the first encounter most mothers have with the mommy contingent comes in the form of "Mommy & Me" classes.
Starting as early as just days after returning from the hospital with your bundle of joy and lasting well into the preschool years is the phenomenon known as Mommy & Me. Typically this involves some group setting intended to be together-time for mom and tot in a social environment where kids can be with other kids and by default, moms can socialize with other moms. Sounds simple, right?
Well, not necessarily.
Moms can be one of the most difficult groups to penetrate, especially if you are a newcomer. But if you are looking to make the most of Mommy & Me, making mommy friends makes running after your child week after week slightly more palatable.
It's almost like dating. You meet in group, you see them a few times a week, but how do you take it to the next level? How do you know if they like you? It seems like they do, but how do you really know? Do you just put yourself out there and go for it?
Actually, you do. If you feel a bit of a connection with a mom, ask about what her child's schedule is like. Could you plan a play-date? A coffee date? You do the inviting. Ask the duo to come to your house or if the weather is good, plan a neutral park date. Feel like stepping it up a notch? See if she wants to meet at a local ice cream parlor where the kids can play and have a treat while the two of you, well, get to know each other a bit.
It's intimidating. Why is that? Any mom will agree that dating other moms is reminiscent of the high-school scene, where everyone is just a little self-conscious and a lot socially awkward. But if you forget all of that and just go for it, chances are you'll be Queen Bee in no time at all.
And hey, your new friends may even come with tolerable daddies to keep your child's daddy company during football season.
The Mommy and Me classes in Cape Coral for infants, toddlers and preschoolers are very fun and educational. They are led by a teacher and are filled with activities such as Circle Time, finger play, instuments, music and movement, bean bags, parachute and bubbles, arts and crafts, Abc's 123's, themes, storytime and soooooo much more. I hope you can try it out one day and see how great it is and what a supportive environment it is for parents. For more information call 239-772-0010

text: A very popular sexual enhancement for men these days is the humble cock ring. Who would have thought that such a simple device could be so effective? The truth of the matter is that, with a cock ring, there really is a ring of confidence, because it helps to keep the big fella going that little bit longer by restricting the blood flow and maintaining the erection. It can also make the penis more sensitive, increasing the pleasure of sexual activity considerably. These little circles of pleasure can be very effective when it comes to the self-satisfying business of masturbation, with the firmer erection and extra sensitivity making you putty in your own hands.

We are what we eat
People increasingly understand the value of prevention in staying healthy as long as possible. More and more, they're concerned about the connection between food and health. They want to know what foods they should eat—and how to supplement them—to improve their diet, fully express their health potential, reduce physical symptoms, and even prevent chronic disease.
Everyone—at any stage of life or in any state of health—can benefit from better nutrition. We just need to help them understand what their specific needs are and give them practical, easy-to-follow advice that fits their lifestyle.
We're a NutriTech company and we inspire our users to adopt a healthy diet based on their personal profile and objectives.
We're based in France, so we value the social role that food plays: the pleasure that people take in eating and drinking with family and friends. We also love the idea of the French paradox! We believe that scientific research and technology are increasingly informing our nutritional choices. It is now widely acknowledged that every individual has very specific metabolic and nutritional needs.
New digital technologies such as AI and machine learning, as well as biotechnologies such as genetics, offer exciting opportunities to better understand personal nutritional needs, monitor intake, and measure results over the long term.
We're the first to combine both worlds to deliver personalized scientific advice to every individual.
Our approach
We focus on proprietary developments in science-based nutrition and new technologies such as artificial intelligence. We also plan to accelerate our R&D by integrating external skills and technologies using an open innovation mindset.
We collaborate with entrepreneurs who share our vision: the importance of adequate nutrition and a passion for tech and science.
Our ecosystem works in synergy, each player bringing its core expertise, whether it be recipes, food databases, quality supplements, food log solutions, or innovative sensors.

MIAMI -- The Miami Dolphins' vanishing linebacker is back.
Miami lifted the suspension of Lawrence Timmons after one week Tuesday, and he's eligible to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in London.
Timmons was suspended indefinitely after he went AWOL the day before the Dolphins' season-opening win at the Los Angeles Chargers. The Dolphins filed a missing person report before making contact with the 11th-year veteran, who apparently was dealing with a personal matter.
Coach Adam Gase was angered by the disappearance of Timmons, who wasn't with the Dolphins at their opener and didn't fly back to South Florida on the team plane after Miami's 19-17 win. The game was the first Timmons has missed since 2010.
He wanted to rejoin the team last week, and several players said they would welcome him back. Linebacker is perhaps thinnest position for the Dolphins, who were again without Timmons when they lost Sunday at the New York Jets, 20-6.
Timmons signed a $12 million, two-year deal in March after 10 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
To make room for the reinstated Timmons, the Dolphins waived linebacker Justin March-Lillard.
Steelers: Fire chief resigns after calling Tomlin slur
PITTSBURGH -- A Pittsburgh-area volunteer fire chief has lost his post after using a racial slur to describe Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.
Paul Smith of the Muse fire company in Cecil Township wrote on Facebook that he added Tomlin to a list of "no-good" people he describes with the slur. Smith says he was upset that Tomlin had instructed his team to stay in a stadium tunnel instead of standing on the field for the national anthem ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
The Cecil Township Board of Supervisors says on its website Tuesday that Smith "is no longer the volunteer fire chief."
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Smith resigned. He tells the newspaper he's "not the racist the media portrays me as."
He adds he "posted in anger."
Dolphins: Prosecutors won't file charges against Landry
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Prosecutors have decided not to file charges against Miami Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry over allegations of domestic violence.
The Broward State Attorney's Office said an investigation determined there was "no reasonable likelihood" of a conviction. The case involved an April 1 encounter between Landry and Estrella Cerqueira, the mother of their daughter.
Cerqueira maintained Landry did not intent to touch her or strike her, but accidentally did so, according to a memorandum filed Monday by assistant state attorney Stefanie Newman. There were no witnesses to the encounter at Landry's residence, and video surveillance appeared to corroborate Cerqueira's account, the prosecutor said.
Cerqueira said in the statement in August that the couple had a "vocal disagreement," but that she never felt physically threatened and that nothing violent took place.
Packers: Injuries hammer away at O-line depth
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Injuries have hammered away at the offensive line depth of the Green Bay Packers.
Left tackle David Bakhtiari and fellow starter at right tackle, Bryan Bulaga, haven't played a game together since the second week of the preseason, a trend that could continue Thursday night against the Chicago Bears .
Bakhtiari and Bulaga were limited Tuesday in practice, which was scaled back because of injuries and the short turnaround from the overtime win Sunday against Cincinnati .
That both players practiced was key to their prospects for facing the Bears.
"If an individual doesn't get into the limited practice category today, I think he'd be hard pressed to play in the game Thursday," coach Mike McCarthy said before practice. "That's about as good as I can give you based on the information that I have."

I experienced another sports writing thrill for me today. With press credentials in hand I had a chance to see the Golden Hurricane of Tulsa as they stormed into Dallas on a 6 game winning streak. They were able to take an early lead on the Ponies and never look back. The SMU faithful showed up in small numbers; but they were loud and boisterous every chance the Ponies got close. But alas, there was no slowing down the Hurricanes today.
It was a very close and intense game from beginning to end and the Mustangs looked poised to make a run at one point, unfortunately the best they could do was tie the score. Obviously this kept the fans involved in the game. However, every time the score was tied the Hurricanes would respond with another run and stretch their lead back out. I guess the old cliché applies here, "close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades".
Tulsa was undoubtedly a little revenge minded after losing a buzzer beater to the Mustangs on their home floor recently. The Ponies put up a stalwart fight today, but there was just not enough "horse power" for them to overtake Tulsa.
This SMU team showed a lot of heart, but in the end the Hurricanes were just too much for them.
There are signs of improvement for this Mustang team. They are beginning to play as a unit. Tulsa looks to be one of the best teams in Conference USA, so hanging with them was at least a moral victory for the Ponies. It's not time to throw in the towel. There is still a lot of basketball left to play in the conference. At that point we will find out where these two teams will finish. Don't be surprised if you find SMU in the hunt at the end of the season.
This was a good game, but just too much of a test for SMU today. However, if they continue to grow and mature…who knows? They have the potential…they just need to work on the resolve, consistency and desire. They have good athletes…they just need to play up to their potential.Please be sure to follow me on Twitter and Facebook
