Warm welcome from Sharon and Rick. The room was nice and comfortable. The house is located on a calm street outside of Rowley. You can leave your bike in the garage and you can walk to the commuter rail station if you want to go to Boston. Pleasant stay.
ClaudeSeptember 2014We can't say enough GOOD about our experience with Sharon and Rick in Rowley, MA. They were very accommodating with our needs and flexibility of our time needs to come in and out of their wonderful home.we felt like we were special and they went out of their way to make sure we had the coffee we liked, the morning goodies that we wanted. They gave us our privacy but the also shared great conversations about their home and town. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this ab be to anyone. You won't be disappointed.
DeborahMay 2015Our stay was very nice. The room was beautiful with high ceilings and exposed wooden beams. Very cozy! In the morning, there was even breakfast waiting for us. Lovely mid-week getaway!
ShainaOctober 2016Rick and Sharon were great - very welcoming and accommodating plus they made us breakfast and coffee in the morning! The bedrooms were large and cozy and everything was in tip top shape. Was a wonderful stay and we would definitely go back again!!
Nicole October 2014Sharon and Rick were very warm and welcoming. We had a great time chatting with them, and enjoyed a truly sensational breakfast! We recommend them highly!
bethAugust 2012Great house, even greater hosts. Helped us a lot with washing and still we had some time relaxing from the big city stress.
MariusJune 2016Perfectly delightful stay. Slept very well. Nice visit with Rick and Sharon before retiring. Best French toast I ever ate.
mary annSeptember 2015Sharon et Rick ont été des plus accueillants et le confort était au rendez-vous. La vitalité de Sharon ne peut que vous mettre de bonne humeur quand a l'artiste exceptionnel qu'est Rick, il faut voir ses magnifiques photos pour comprendre que c'est une région des plus inspirante. Merci a vous deux et au plaisir peut-être de vous revoir a Montréal! PS: Super petits gâteaux..

Anthony and Rachel were wonderful hosts, The handmade chocolates were a treat Very comfortable space steam shower was amazing location was perfect for what I was doing lovely area to visit I would stay again
stevenJune 2016My partner and I stayed one night with Anthony & Rachael for a 24 getaway, and it was absolutely lovely. The room is exactly like the photos- filled with little treasures of relaxation. I loved the booked selection and my partner loved the surround sound. When we arrived by commuter rail Rachael picked us up from the train station (if it was warmer it would of been a lovely walk). The room was so cozy and Anthony & Rachael had made us homemade chocolates in the fridge (amazing)! Also if Rachael asks if you want some of her homemade hot chocolate, you do! It was maybe the best hot chocolate we had ever had. The steam and hot sauna were both amazing and just what we needed to relax. In the morning Anthony made is amazing healthy smoothies to start our day, that were also delicious. Also Anthony have us a ride to the train station and waited with us for our train. Overall my partner and I can't wait to go back and would recommend this spot to anyone! We loved it!!
JessFebruary 2016I had a wonderful time with Anthony and Rachel! I had such a great time that I've already planned another trip back. They were both very welcoming and went out of their way to take care of my pup for me while I was at work. Their loft is very clean and has a warm homey feel. If you get a chance to take a yoga class or have some of their homemade smoothies and chocolate I would take advantage of it. :)
BrittanyOctober 2015We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Tranquility Loft. We especially appreciated the friendliness of Rachael and Anthony, the on-site sauna, and the home-made chocolates! The evenings were very quiet, allowing us to sleep soundly. If you are visiting the area for a wedding or similar event, do yourself a favor and plan for an extra day or two - we wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the fire pit, the famous hot chocolate, and the local restaurants and scenery!
ZackeryMay 2016This was our second stay at the Tranquility Loft - what more can I say? Ok, I'll say that Anthony and Rachael are terrific hosts - great with communication and very accommodating with check in time. They also make incredible chocolates, hot chocolate, and smoothies. And the space is really one-of-a-kind: a cozy loft space above a modern yoga studio with access to hot and dry saunas. It is comfortable and quiet and truly rejuvenating!
JenniferDecember 2016Another wonderful visit with our friends at the tranquility loft. We had so much fun visiting Anthony, Rachael, Miles and Asa- We are so happy to have met them and made life long friends! We only wish we could have stayed longer! - the Space was more beautiful than I remembered and I enjoyed using the yoga studio early in the morning to start my day and get stretched. My son was also welcomes with open arms and full bath tubs after a day of digging in the dirt , because the boys were so sweet to share their diggers. We can't wait for another visit! Thanks Guys!!!!
KatieMay 2016Our stay at the Tranquility Loft was perfect! Anthony and Rachel were wonderful hosts. They did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We also attended Anthony's yoga class on Saturday morning and it was wonderful! This was the best "bed & yoga" experience. The loft is very comfortable and peaceful. We plan to return.
WendiJuly 2015This was a great first Airbnb experience! Rachael and Anthony were very welcoming and answered any and all questions we had. The studio was very cozy and we liked it was centrally located. Just a short drive away from both Ipswich and Newburyport. Both towns are nice places to grab a bite to eat and shop around. Crane beach and Plum island are also nearby. The studio was a relaxing home away from home to come back to after a day of exploring and sunbathing. The steam shower was perfect after a day at the beach. They provide you with plenty of tea and coffee and Anthony was nice enough to make us one of his great power smoothies. If you get the chance to take Anthony's yoga class, go for it. Be prepared to be challenged. We wish we could have stayed longer!

What a great place to relax and escape from the city! The house is splendid and charm is everywhere. Our friends were delighted from the moment they arrived. The entire property is amazing and the horses, super friendly! Not too far you can visit Newburyport, and if your are into antiquing, go to Essex. Beth, the manager of the farm, was really nice. Communication was super easy and she was very flexible to accommodate our requests. We want to go back during the summer!
A. DavidApril 2016Beth was both extremely helpful and welcoming. She made it a point to show us what we needed to know about the property, and then respected our time alone. We had a WONDERFUL stay! We all loved being able to retreat to this property after having a busy 2 nights at a family wedding.
JaneOctober 2016This place is ideal! We were looking for a cozy winter getaway, and this place delivered. The house is gorgeous and comfortable, from the antique furniture (we were very careful), to the cozy den with wood stove. And the property is so quiet, beautiful, restful to the mind. I spent hours watching the horses, walking around the barn and just being at peace. I can't imagine a better Airbnb experience. I've certainly never had one. Thanks, Beth!
MichaelJanuary 2017Beautiful and spacious house, very easy communication with the owner! I recommend!
OliviaSeptember 2016This is a wonderful old farmhouse that is well furnished for a larger sized group. The host was very accomondating with our arrival schedule. We just wished the weather had been better and we could have enjoyed the outside. Please be aware that the older portion of the house is very old(1600's), and as such, the floors are not level. This is a feature I loved, but someone who is only used to modern construction may find this a lilttle unbalancing.
EdwardApril 2016Host was very welcoming. Some guests don't prefer an on-site welcome, but this is a house in which a tour is a must. Everything was as-advertised and as-pictured. The setting is beautiful and all on-site staff (on the farm) were very friendly. They are as approachable as you want them to be.
RyanJune 2016If we could give six stars we would. The property is amazing, situated on a beautiful house farm, the location is fairly rural (but there is a grocery store and a few other shops just down the road) while still only about a 30-40 minute drive from Boston. The house comfortably sleeps at least five people, there were seven of us and we were just fine. The house is well appointed and clean, while the kitchen has all of the cooking appliances you might need. The host Beth was amazing and gave us a great tour of the property, make sure to bring a carrot or two for the horses! One last thing I feel is important to mention. A rare and minor incident occurred while we were there that was neither the host nor our party's fault. The owner handled the incident with the highest integrity, a less scrupulous owner could have tried to assign blame. We were very impressed and grateful for their strong character. Like I said, if we could give six stars we would and we highly recommend the place.
DavidMarch 2016We loved the story & history of the house! Beth provided us with cookies & a notebook full of information to make our stay even more memorable!

TraceeOctober 2016This is the second time we stayed at Jill's Artists Loft and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet setting in which to spend some time, this is it.
MaryAugust 2016This is a beautiful place overlooking a large field/marsh bordered by lots of trees. There was a wood stove that Jill had prepped so that a fire was going in 30 seconds! I didn't want to leave. She was wonderful and helpful and the place had everything I would want. Very clean and spacious as well.

Joanna and ThomasJuly 2016My Fiancé and I were attending a wedding at the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, apx. 4 miles down the road. We typically don't like to board our dogs and were pleased to find Jill's listing. Jill was very accommodating and had no problem with us bringing our dogs along. We were able to get right in and actually didn't have a chance to meet Jill, although she was responsive so I'm sure we would have been able to meet up if we had any issues. The loft itself was sparse on the first floor but we were just using it for a place to sleep so that was OK. The view out of the back of the house is stunning (great sunrise over salt marsh), we grabbed coffee and pastries in downtown Ipswich and brought them back to the house to enjoy while looking out over the marsh. The Ipswich/Essex area is beautiful to drive around, taking in the historic homes and looking at the endless marshes and farms. Willowdale is also a fantastic place to walk/mountain bike/horseback ride.
RyanNovember 2016It was so peaceful and I loved the area. We used the wood burning stove which made for a cozy evening. The bed was comfortable. I loved having a private view of the preserve.
JessicaNovember 2016We loved this open and airy apartment. Our tot loved running in circles around the beautiful living room space and the loft was very clean. We were only minutes from a beautiful family friendly beach and downtown area. Jill was so accommodating and even brought us a little tub for the baby. We'd visit again for sure!

The area and their house are a lovely and when we arrived we already felt like family. They surely made our trip so easy and realxed. There are no words to express how greatful and blessed we feel for meeting you, and of course we will keep in touch and will see each other soon. :D

The house is very clean and the beds are comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and beautiful. The house rules are clear. The hosts are friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable. We spent pleasant two weeks at this lovely home. Thank you so much Anne & Ted. We'll definitely be back again if we need to stay in Boston area for a longer period.

Kelly was great, easy communication and a painless process. Place was clean and as described. Was a quick stop, just to sleep on our way elsewhere so did not really explore much ... maybe next time. Would repeat if in the area. Thanks Kelly!
WilliamSeptember 2016Kelly was great! She responded very quickly to my e-mails, gave me specific directions on how to find her place and made the keys available even though I arrived later than planned. She left a "Welcome" note on the bed with other information I needed to know. Staying with Kelly was stress free and she was friendly and helpful. Her dog Missy is so cute! and (URL HIDDEN) problems at all.
AnneJuly 2016Super friendly host. Place was clean and comfy. All good. Will stay again when I'm in the area.

AbhijeetSeptember 2016Kelly was very kind & wait for me till late last night.The room was cozy & clean as described by the host. The room has some painted smells but she has installed the fan that can refresh the air in the room immediately after she was told, thus the next guests can not be affected any headaches. The dog was not a small, but she was cute and trained well.

AlexOctober 2016Thank you, Susan and Don, for providing a wonderful place to stay while in town to visit friends and relatives. The apartment was perfect: clean, quiet, convenient to downtown and Plum Island; all with welcoming and gracious hosts! Over the years we have had a hard time finding the perfect place to stay while visiting Newburyport. Now our search is over!
DianeDecember 2015Susan and Don were gracious hosts and have a beautiful home. From the beginning, communicating with Susan was super easy. She always responded quickly to emails and questions, and she made planning the trip a breeze. Also, they easily accommodated a change in my plans on my arrival date, and I was able to arrive much earlier. Our stay was perfect. Their apartment is beautifully furnished, clean, and relaxing. You truly feel like you are in a quaint New England coastal town as you are sitting on the deck enjoying views of the Merrimac River. Susan and Don are incredibly thoughtful. They provided us with all the necessities, checked in to make sure we were comfortable, and even offered toys for my son to use. I only wish we could have stayed longer!
TeryseNovember 2015Sue's apartment is exactly as advertised - comfortable, well stocked, in a terrific location, and with a beautiful water view. Sue is responsive to communications and made us feel at home. We recommend it to anyone wanting to stay by the water in Newburyport.
KatherineJuly 2016I can't say enough good things about our stay here. The Flanders were so kind and accommodating, and the apartment felt like home. The bed was so comfortable, the deck was such an incredible spot to look at the moon and have morning coffee. The location is perfect. The house itself was so clean and had everything we needed. I give it ten stars and we will definitely be looking to reserve it again next time we are in town. Thank you Sue and Don for creating such a comfortable space for our stay!

This spot exceeded all of my expectations. The place was beautiful and we loved everything. The extra attention to having chocolates and great coffee choices and waters was such an unexpected treat. The pool table is beautiful and so much fun to play on and the photography is stunning. I hope we can visit again this summer and will definitely let my friends know how nice it was. I would give it a 6 if I could.
ZorbaFebruary 2017Irene is the perfect host: she met us when we arrived, showed us all of the amenities and had great suggestions for dinner. The space has everything you need to be comfortable: extremely comfortable twin beds, all the fixings for coffee, tea or espresso, and a beautiful bathroom stocked with towels and shower products. We enjoyed the ocean view and would love to return in the warmer weather to walk along the pathway and enjoy the public benches. Overall, a wonderful stay in Newburyport!
MarcJanuary 2017This very large, immaculate and well appointed cottage is the perfect place to visit! The front yard over looks beautiful river in the back yard as well appointed gardens. Coffee, espresso machine, tea kettle, two burner stove, small refrigerator made a very convenient coffee and breakfast before setting out on our day. The house were most gracious and kind and offered to help us find places for dinner and went to see in town. I would absolutely stay here again when we are back in town. Thank you for a lovely visit
reeFebruary 2017Irene and Nick's studio was just what I needed -- close to the beautiful downtown Newburyport (20 minute walk or couple minute drive) and right across from the water. The little kitchen was perfect for preparing some small meals and snacks, the coffee maker great, the bed was comfy and the bathroom was spacious and clean. I would recommend this place for you next trip to Newburyport! Remember, they can put the twins together if you need a king bed. Oh, and Nick's photography of wildlife is stunning! You'll get to see a good deal of it -- which is a great thing. Both Nick and Irene were helpful and responsive. Good hosts!
Amy and RyanDecember 2016Irene was a great host... great communication and very responsive. We really enjoyed the apartment ... very clean and very comfortable beds. Really convenient to both Newburyport center and the water. Thanks Irene!!!!

WayneJune 2016Beth was 1st Class and our stay was magical.
PhilNovember 2016Beth was there at the exact time that we arranged to meet. She was good about keeping us informed and walked us through all the things that we needed to know. Great location, peaceful setting and convenient to everything. We travelled from Portland, Maine to Boston and all the coastal towns in between and this was the ideal place for all the towns. It was great waking up to see the horses grazing in the fields and Betty, the woman taking care of them was very pleasant and informative.
BettyMay 2016Beth was there to greet us when we arrived. We had great communication before our trip even began, and she gave us a cell phone number to let her know when we would arrived. The apartment was wonderful, so spacious. My mom said she could live there! And the horse farm it was on was beautiful. We wish we had arrived earlier/stayed longer to enjoy it more. Beth made sure to show us around the entire place and tell us about the farm, the horses, and the owners even though we were only staying one night. We felt very at home. And the welcome binder was FULL of information, including local restaurant menus. We had a great stay.

Beth had placed a vase of fresh flowers in each room and there were chocolate chip cookies to greet us. My son enjoyed feeding the horsed each morning and Betty generously took the time to chat with him about the horses. BillieBo is conveniently located and we were able to visit historical sites in Maine and New Hampshire as well as Boston and Salem. The apartment is well appointed and in such a picturesque setting. Beth was so helpful and responded immediately when I had a question mid-trip. I plan on staying at BillieBo again in February and for all future trips to the area.

Our host were awesome! The description is very much accurate. What you see is what you get. Although there was no tv, in a way we were glad because it forced us to really take in the beauty of our location. The lake and scenery was breath taking and the cottage was cozy, such a relaxing couple get away.
MaryDecember 2016I had a wonderful experience staying with Tasha and Andy! Unfortunately, during our visit we were hit with a blizzard and got snowed in but they were both so generous and let us borrow a shovel and brush to clean off our car. The bed was super comfortable and there was a very sweet fireplace that warmed the cottage. It really felt like a home away from home! The next time we visit north shore I would totally stay with Tasha and Andy again! Very nice people and great with responding!
SummerJanuary 2017Quiet and peaceful place in the middle of a beatiful scenery with lots of woods and lakes.

Allen & Cheryl made us feel very welcome on arrival! They were accommodating with meeting earlier than we originally planned, making sure the flat was warmed up, and stocking with lots of snacks and drinks! Living room was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Lovely 4-poster bed. Affordable stay. Couldn't have asked for more!
SharmaNovember 2016My hosts Allen and Cheryl were very friendly and made my visit worry free. They were available by phone, text or email as needed, and responded quickly. The flat was charming and made me feel right at home, and I loved the soft, cozy four-poster bed. The location was very quiet and I was able to sleep really well. They thought of everything, and I especially enjoyed being able to make a fresh pot of coffee in the morning. I can highly recommend their flat to anyone looking for a roomy, quiet place to stay in the area, especially now that the leaves are turning and the scenery is so lovely.
DallasNovember 2016Al and Cheryl have a very cozy private apartment. They were very warm and welcoming. It was generous of them to provide some juice and snacks in the fridge for us. It was a great stay for us after a long day. We watched a movie from their DVD collection and had some tea along with a restful night sleep. Cheryl even provided some luxury bath samples which made for a lovely shower in the morning.

MarissaNovember 2016This one-bedroom apartment in Bradford is located in a nice quiet, residential neighborhood on a side street. There is plenty of street parking. The apartment has charm along with modern appliances and a renovated bathroom, however, there's no door on the bathroom, only a curtain. I think the owners plan to fix this soon. It is heated by a large gas heater in the kitchen and there is a ceiling fan above the heater to distribute the heat. It does get very warm, and then cools down quite a bit. You have to keep the bedroom door open and the heater is a bit noisy. Be aware that the stairs up to the unit are steep and winding, and you have to take your own bags up, so pack light! The hosts Cheryl and Allen (who live on the second floor) are very nice people and were available for questions or if we needed anything. They provided some provisions for breakfast and snacks, which was much appreciated. There is a full size fridge and stove, microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker. It was a good place for us to use as a base for visiting relatives in the area.

This house has charm and space. Its so close to many beaches and the downtown area of Ipswich. We were so busy sightseening that we didnt really stay at the house but it was comfortabe to come back to each night.
CamellaDecember 2016What a wonderful place for a week-end getaway. The house was so neat and clean and also very spacious. Jill was a perfect host and available to us for anything we needed and, yet, at the same time, respected our privacy. We look forward to staying there again soon.
MaryFebruary 2016Great place to stay. Very private and quiet bit close to downtown. Jill met us when we arrived and showed us around. Place was very big and would be even better for a larger family. So much space we didn't use. Would definitly stay here again if in the area.
FrankNovember 2016The place itself was okay once we got there and got in. We had very little communication from Jill, we weren't sure that we even had a confirmation of a place to stay until a few days before our date (we were already enroute on our trip). There was nobody to meet us and we had a challenge locating the property and getting in (no key was left as stated). We weren't there during daytime so we can't comment on how the property was during the day.

EvelynFebruary 2016A humble spot well situated to nature walks, Crane beach and downtown Ipswich. Kitchen is simple but quite functional, including all the plates and utensils you'd need and basics such as plastic wrap and ziploc bags. Jill is an accommodating host who afforded us the opportunity of a early check in and later check out. She was always very responsive and made it very easy to come and go. We were two people and a dog, so we had our choice of the three beds with double beds. A larger group would feel right at home. We were delighted with the marsh walking paths that started literally across the street. The beach was perhaps a ten minute drive. We would stay here again happily.

Mary's guest room has a large and comfy bed, and the room is equipped with the essentials. Bathroom spacious and private. Perfect for a comfortable sleep. Note that is is not within walking distance of downtown or other businesses, but in a safe and family friendly residential.
NadiaFebruary 2017Mary's house is clearly the best Air bnb experience I have ever had for the 2 weeks I stayed at her place. Her house is beautiful and is easily comparable to a 5- Star hotel (I know this because I was staying in the Marriott down the street before moving into Mary's place). Her house is VERY CLEAN and LUXURIOUS. The stay was worth every penny. Mary is the perfect host and was very attentive to whatever I needed. She is a very kind person and would recommend her house to everyone. "The pictures on the website don't do justice about how beautiful her place is in reality."

Again, great place to stay!
MelanieFebruary 2017Le Carmel was comfortable and restful through two major snowstorms! The town did a terrific job of keeping the roads cleared and the neighbors were friendly and helpful to the out-of-towner and helped me out after the storms. Much appreciated! The location was a perfect base for my travels about Northeastern Mass. The rooms were pleasant and the oranges and pillow candies an unexpected treat. Thank you to my excellent hosts and I would definitely recommend Le Carmel to any traveler or pair of travelers looking for comfort and convenience on the North Shore!
FrancisFebruary 2017Perfect littl
ChrisNovember 2016Was a great first time using the app. I was impressed by the privacy and spacious room. Marie was very prompt in messages whenever I had any questions. The place was easy to find and great location. The little candies on the pillows and amentites made us feel very taken care of. Would stay here again in Massachusetts :)
NicoleNovember 2016Le Carmel is a perfect little stay. Quiet, Clean, Cozy. Would definitely recommend.
TravisJanuary 2017Another great stay here. Clean, comfortable, and private!
MelanieDecember 2016Awesome space to be self sufficient with your own private space. Small, but definitely big enough and having your own washer, dryer, bathroom, fridge, toaster, kureg and parking space is just great. It's a great location being close to stores, restaurants, and highways. Safe and quiet neighborhood as well. Highly recommend!!
MelanieNovember 2016It's a nice space you get to yourself. Wouldn't recommend for couples looking for a getaway. You're sharing the house and you can hear them pretty clearly from the other side of the doors. The bed was really creaky so you can't get too excited. Hulu and Netflix available on the tv which was perfect.

A little bit about Cyndie & Sean's story from the bride…
"Sean and I met while hanging out at a mutual friend's house in 1997. We were paired up, as group of us to were learning some swing dancing. We had an immediate connection however we were both quite shy. As we continue to run into each other at parties, concerts, and sporting events we became more than acquaintances, we were now friends. Sean got the nerve to ask me out in 2001. I was hesitant as I didn't want to lose a good friend or make our inner circle of friends uncomfortable. Sean's wit and charm won me over and we became a close couple after our first official date. Our relationship has always beed filled with love and laughter; including Sean pacifying me with occasional trips to Disneyland. Unfortunately we had a few rough patches over the years and officially call off our relationship in 2008. Even through our time apart, we were never really apart. Sean and I remained the closest of friends. Seeing movies, cooking on the weekends, and going to Shark's games. The friendship was confusing everyone around us, and at times, confusing to ourselves. Sean changed everything in 2015, when he professed to me he no longer wanted to live a life without me. These were words I had waited over 15 years to hear. Through love and communication our relationship has never been so filled with comfort, devotion, and happiness. We are thrilled to start our next chapter as a married couple, an event almost 20 years in the making."

The Judiciary
In Malta the members of the judiciary are those serving Judges and Magistrates appointed to sit in the Superior and Inferior Courts in terms of the provisions of Chapter VIII of the Constitution. Although the judicial system, that is the set up of courts and tribunals intended for the resolution of legal disputes, provides for other offices – for example Commissioners for Justice, Adjudicators (who sit in the Small Claims Tribunals), arbitrators, assistants (who sit with a Magistrate in the Juvenile Court) – only the Judges and Magistrates appointed in terms of the Constitution can be referred to, collectively, as the Judiciary. Even retired Judges and retired Magistrates, who may be appointed to preside over certain tribunals, are not members of the judiciary for the purposes of the Constitution. Likewise, a Maltese citizen appointed to sit on an international court or international tribunal does not, by virtue of that appointment, become a member of the judiciary under Maltese law unless prior to that appointment he or she was a Judge or a Magistrate in terms of Articles 96 or 100 of the Constitution.

From the Publisher
On completion of her training as an agent of the interstellar federation's Anthropological Service, Elana is sent to a world whose people may soon destroy their civilization. Since not enough is understood about the situation to justify any interference with their evolution, the Service has no power to act; its agents must go as helpless observers, posing as natives, in the hope of gaining knowledge that may help to save other worlds. This passive role proves intolerable to the young, inexperienced agent assigned to the same city as Elana, a city under totalitarian rule. After falling in love with a local girl who has become Elana's closest friend, he identifies too completely with the natives and unwittingly endangers the entire world by a well-meant but ill-advised attempt to intervene. Forced to assume responsibility for undoing the damage, Elana finds that only she--at great cost--can prevent an immediate war of annihilation.
Although this novel has the same heroine as the author's Newbery Honor book Enchantress from the Stars, it is completely independent and is intended for older readers, high school age and adults.
From the reviews of The Far Side of Evil
"A surprising, haunting, poetic book . . . full of provocative philosophical and psychological questions as well as tense adventure and romance." --Commonweal
"An intriguing, provocative story relevant to situations in today's world." --Booklist
"Gripping psychological science fiction . . . the relationship between the heroine and her sophisticated, unbrutish interrogator is beautifully balanced and adds another dimension to a story which is already multi-faceted." --Times Literary Supplement, London
"The author has a direct, forceful style of writing that sparks the reader's imagination." --Publisher's Weekly
"Fiction doesn't have to be profound, just entertaining. But every once in a long while, a novel comes along that is both. . . . [It] speak[s] to the very place of humanity in the universe, and what we need to do to attain and claim it. In an age in which terrorism has threatened our ways of life in unexpected ways, Engdahl's probing story, and the recommendation it contains, are especially relevant." --Paul Levinson
"This is a thoughtful and engrossing novel." --Chicago Daily News
"Contains good characterizations and some thoughtful concepts about our own world, set in a skillfully written SF plot." --School Library Journal
"Engdahl's faith in the importance of space exploration and the questions she poses about the nature of 'progress' and the dangers of well-intentioned intervention will amply reward the careful reader." --Terri Schmitz, Horn Book

The development of cerebral cortex plays a major role in the evolution of species and in particular for mankind. This is why scientists are studying the emergence of its cellular microstructure with high resolution methods. Neuroscientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, have analysed the diversity of cortical neurons – more precisely inhibitory interneurons – during the developmental period surrounding birth. They have discovered the emergence of three main sub-groups of interneurons by decoding the expression of cell-type specific genes as well as their exact, and often unexpected, location in the cortex.
These results, which can be read in Nature Communications, will open the door to a more accurate understanding of the complex cell-type specific mechanisms underlying neuro-developmental disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. This should help researchers in discovering how psychiatric-related genetic disturbances impact the emergence of neuronal sub-types and how to design novel cell-type specific interventions.

President Lee Bollinger said during Monday's convocation that President Barack Obama will return to the Upper West Side in an "official capacity" in 2017, according to tweets by the Columbia Spectator and Bwog.
Bollinger, speaking on the steps at Low Memorial Library, did not elaborate on the president's return to Columbia University, according to reports.
The university said in a statement sent later Monday: " Lee Bollinger's comment at Convocation today that he was looking forward to welcoming back Columbia's most famous alumnus only reiterated the May 12 statement by the Barack Obama Foundation that it "intends to maintain a presence at Columbia University for the purpose of exploring and developing opportunities for a long term association" and reflected no further developments concerning President Obama's plans."

Roger Goodell: NFL won't sell advertising space on uniforms
Goodell says no ads on NFL uniforms, and that's a good thing. (AP) |
Most of Roger Goodell's time spent in Detroit with the media involved discussions about the Lions and their penchant for offseason trouble. But he was also asked about the notion of putting advertisements on teams' jerseys.
The NBA is already cashing in on the ridiculous idea of putting ads on uniforms in a desperate attempt to scramble for revenue. Thankfully, Goodell said, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free-Press, that the league had no such plan going forward.
"It's not something that's actively being considered in the NFL," Goodell said. "We like the look that we have on the field. We have a very limited number of partners on our field in general, much less on the uniform, and we think that's right for the NFL."
More importantly, the NFL has individual team brands that stand out much more than the NBA. That's not to say that fans don't care about teams in basketball; they clearly do. But it's the faces of various players that resonate with fans in the NBA. In the NFL, even for individuals, it's the uniform that stands out.
Slapping a "BING" patch on teams would dilute that brand severely and it's good that Goodell and the league recognize that.
Plus, it's not like NFL owners are desperately scrambling to increase their revenue -- the Browns just sold, and did so for reportedly more than $1 billion. NFL franchises are doing just fine without uglying up the uniforms for the sake of making an extra buck.

How do i get a good perm
My Answer
Attach Images (Limit 4)
6 answers so far
f you've gotten your hair dyed a lot, or had a lot of chemical-to-hair contact, it may not be best to get a perm. A perm puts a lot of chemicals into your hair, which may dry out the ends, or make your hair unhealthy. Perms are removable, but that is also putting chemicals into your hair, which may give you negative results......but try to find a good hair stylist
This answer has been removed.
Perms can become hard to do on yourself as the bands on the rods can cause breakage if not fastened correctly. @GoodFaith had a great point about the local beauty schools. They perform several perms through out they're attendance and will be more reasonable priced than a salon. If you request someone who is about to graduate, you should be in great hands as Im sure they have had their share of practice.
This answer has been removed.
I would suggest having this done at a salon. If money is an issue for you, you could try a cosmetology school in your area. They perform hair services for inexpensive prices (probably $20 for a perm) and are always supervised by an instructor; with many years of experience. It's tricky to do it yourself at home, unless you can get a friend to help you. In which case, read the instructions throughly and follow them exactly. I'm sure there are plenty of YouTube videos on this subject you can watch.

Several police agencies converge on Galleria after hours for extensive training.
By Mary O'KEEFE
It is the type of chaos that everyone dreads. The popping sound of gunfire echoing down a corridor at a mall with people running, some left behind, crying for help. While it is not something most shoppers contemplate, for law enforcement, it is something they need to prepare for in case the unthinkable becomes a reality.
Glendale Galleria was the scene of such a training session for Glendale Police and about 12 other agencies late Friday night. After the Galleria doors closed at 10 p.m., law enforcement took over the area.
"These are real life scenarios," said Lt. John Dilibert of the Burbank Police Dept.
Several scenarios played out throughout the night involving active shooters in the mall, a suspect in a van in the parking lot and a possible bomb.
The shopping mall was a perfect location for this type of training with its long halls and many places for "suspects" to hide. About 200 officers participated in the training session with an estimated 100 volunteers that played frightened shoppers and suspects. The volunteers were from the various agencies including Explorer and citizen volunteer programs.
"We also have our chaplains here to help the victims," Dilibert said. "This is what would really happen if this type of [event occurred]."
The night was eerie in its resemblance to a real life scenario if gunmen took over the mall. When the training began, sounds of gunshots echoed down the mall's corridors. Both suspects and law enforcement were using blanks (a type of cartridge that contains gunpowder but no bullet). Actors yelled for help and panicked to get out.
"I was used as a distraction," said Valerie Dunger, a volunteer actor.
As the officers made their way through the food court area and toward the mall's escalator, Dunger began to yell for help. She was located on the upper level. The officers maintained their move toward the stairway looking for the suspects when gunfire rang out.
"I got nervous as soon as the gunfire started," she said.
Actors would also run toward the officers to give them information of where they thought the shooters were located, and in some cases tried to follow the officers as they searched the area.
Dilibert said this is what happens in the field. Individuals try to help but end up just creating more problems, or they are working with the suspects and trying to distract officers.
The gathering of law enforcement agencies, developing scenarios and finding the right location was not an easy task.
"We have been planning this for a year," said Lt. Steve Robertson, Glendale Police Dept. "We wanted a mall specifically … we are very thankful to the Glendale Galleria."
Law enforcement represented included Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Anaheim, Alhambra and San Gabriel police departments as well as California State Los Angeles University and Glendale Community colleges' police forces and the FBI.
"That was another important component, getting all the agencies together," Robertson said.
Not all agencies do this type of intense training, Robertson added. "This is very progressive."
There are many cities that have large shopping malls and this type of training not only helps law enforcement train for potential scenarios in an actual location but also helps them develop relationships with other agencies that will be called upon during an emergency, Robertson added.
"Those relationships are key," Robertson said.

Kentwood Players will hold open auditions for Good People, a dramedy by David Lindsay-Abaire on Saturday, March 18 from 12:00noon to 4:00pm and Sunday, March 19 from 7:00 to 10:00pm. Callbacks will be held on Monday, March 20 from 7:00 to 10:00pm by appointment only. This is a non-equity, non-paid production directed by Gail Bernardi and produced by Susan Goldman Weisbarth for Kentwood Players with rights secured from Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
Performance dates are May 12 through June 17, 2017 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Auditions and performances take place at the Westchester Playhouse, located at 8301 Hindry Avenue in Westchester, CA 90045.
Good People centers on life in South Boston, a working-class neighborhood on hard times, which is no joke for single mother Margaret Walsh. Fired from her job, facing eviction and with nowhere to turn, she and her grown, disabled daughter, represent a large portion of today's society. Will she get a break from her young manager at the Dollar Store or the landlady with a craft business selling googly-eyed rabbits, or the man from her past, now a successful doctor, who left town at a crucial moment long ago?
With cutting humor and amazing realism, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsey-Abaire creates a loving portrait of his hometown and a relatable story of socioeconomic struggle. In the world of Good People, acts of sacrifice and gestures of kindness come at the most surprising moments and from the most unexpected sources, posing questions we often ask ourselves; how important is the element of luck vs. hard work in any of our lives, and what constitutes the fine line that blurs both ideologies?
Those auditioning should read the play before auditioning to become familiar with the characters. Please allow time to sign-in and complete paperwork during scheduled audition times. Please bring a current headshot and resume as well as your calendar as a rehearsal schedule will be posted at auditions and you will be asked to note any conflicts. No appointment or monologue is necessary; just be prepared for selected cold readings from the script. If you have any questions or concerns, please email email@example.com.
All characters require a South Boston accent which will be taught by director Gail Bernardi.
To meet the Good People production team and learn more about Kentwood Players, the public is invited to attend our general membership meetings, which are free and held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm at the Westchester Playhouse located two blocks west of the San Diego Freeway and two blocks north of Manchester at 8301 Hindry Avenue in Westchester, CA 90045.

I hope your ready for the big day. Can't believe it's a week away!! I'm hoping to see you twice this year on the marathon Route. First in Newton at the firehouse on the corner of Rt.16 and Comm. Ave and again at mile 25! Praying the weather is cool and not sweltering like last year. We are looking forward to the Pasta Party and seeing you and Nikki again!
25 Days to Go
March 21, 2013
Good Morning,
Today is 25 days before the Boston Marathon, the day I run 25 miles to help cure cancer. Don't worry, you won't be the first person to ask me if I realize that a marathon is 26.2 miles. To explain, we need to go back five years to my first marathon…
I stood motionless, as I watched runners continue to the 113th Boston Marathon finish line. It had taken me 16 months to reach this place on the course. The year before, just two weeks before my first Boston Marathon, I found myself in the hospital with a server case of mononucleosis, destine to watch my first marathon from bed.
Yet, there I was, in pain, defeated and unable to gather the strength to finish. When I looked up, I noticed the iconic red and orange Citgo triangle. To my right, Fenway Park in the distance. I realized I was at mile 25 of the marathon. With a little over a mile left, and after 2 years of hard work, I reached deep down for a way to finish. I commanded my body to start running, but after a couple of steps, I stopped. I tried again and again, with no success. I can't remember a moment in my life that I felt more defeated, more hopeless. Minutes felt like hours. I desperately searched for the littlest bit of hope to give me the confidence to continue. I took my hands off my knees, lifted my head and lunged forward with a roar of pain and belief. This time I didn't stop until the finish line. A life lesson that wouldn't be challenged until…
Two years later I stood on that same spot. It happens to be the location where some of the children from the Jimmy Fund Client cheer on the Dana-Farber Marathon Team. This time I was hugging my Dana-Farber marathon partner, Brendan. At the time, he was a 10 year old patient being treated for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the Jimmy Fund Clinic. Over the months before the marathon, Brendan and his family brought me into their world of a child with Leukemia. Brendan would walk me through the different treatments and protocols he would follow. He would explain to me about the different drugs that he would have to take. He showed me the tubes, the scars and the other pains of cancer that are left behind the curtain for people like me to never see.
I can't think of another spot on Earth that has taught me more about what a human will do to endure. Since then, my marathons end at Mile 25 (with a 1.2 mile victory lap). I have seen the success of Dana-Farber through Brendan. Today when Brendan and I talk, it's about school, video games, and girls (I wasn't ready for that one!). Through events with the Dana-Farber Leadership Council I've had the privilege to speak with the doctors and scientists working on the next steps to cure cancer. I can tell you, our donations are well spent.
Like many of you, I am recently reminded that the cancer marathon is not over. Since my last marathon, an extended family member was diagnosed with brain cancer and is fighting for his life. A close family friend was diagnosed with breast cancer that has metastasized to the lymph nodes. And another friend continues her multi-year battle.
This morning, I ask you to help everyone to reach their Mile 25 by donating to Dana-Farber. The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge directs 100 percent of funds raised to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of your company's generous donation matching program. If you are unsure if your donation is eligible for a match by your employer, please inquire with your Human Resources department.
I sincerely thank you.
– Patrick

What is safer? Running a Marathon or Running with Scissors.
Many of my fellow marathoners, triathletes and cyclists were surprised with yesterday's headline "Marathons may be bad for your health". After last weeks story on exercise can be bad for some people, I thought to myself "Am I in a parallel universe?". I read a couple articles in leading papers on the study. Scary words like heart scarring, artery calcium deposits and heart attacks ran wild. It mentioned iniquitous deeds like running fast, long and often like they were comparable to chain smoking, eating fast food and being a couch potato.
After a got past the media sensationalism and looked deeper, there were some striking findings with the studies. Enough to make you reevaluate your endurance lifestyle. If not just because of the physical risks/benefits, but also the emotional, social and intellectual too.
Instead of giving you my options or other writer's options, read the review article yourself…

Mandating another nitro 'spec' engine is a mistake!I was a little surprised to hear that the rumor about a new nitro spec engine for NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car that I first heard last year at Denver was coming true. At the same time I heard that NHRA's rationale for this new engine rule reportedly was, first, to slow down the nitro cars because the NHRA and their insurance company are starting to get nervous about the speeds that Top Fuelers and Funny Cars are making on the shortened 1,000-foot tracks and, secondly, to devise an engine that would restrict performance of the fuel cars to the point that NHRA could justify and return to quarter-mile racing. I am just amazed that NHRA management didn't learn anything from their prior attempts at mandating a spec engine to control costs and stop the progressing Top Speeds. The first spec engine hasn't done anything to slow the cars or make engines more affordable. You even could make a case that the current spec engine rules accomplished the opposite and in the end they were responsible for the rev-limiter as well as NHRA racers forcing the sanctioning body to shorten the racing distance. Despite that obvious history, my sources tell me that on the Monday after the St. Louis national event Graham Light and the NHRA Tech Department are going to test a new spec engine they've built. Reportedly Tim Wilkerson will test the new spec engine for the NHRA with his Funny Car. Unconfirmed by the NHRA is that the engine will be a 413 cubic inch engine with a single 44 amp MSD mag. A single 70 gallon fuel pump, 15 over on the blower and 7-1 compression. No word on whether the car will have the rumored 350 rear gear. I will go out on a limb here and predict the car will be a slow slug. History, Dale Pulde and Steve Plueger indicate that will be the case. The reason I say that is that from at least 1998 to 2005 Pulde and Plueger ran a single mag, single fuel pump, 500-inch engine combination with the mandatory 3:20 rear gear and no restriction on the blower. The car ran a 5.25/290 at the Winternats in '98 and six years later made its best pass at the 2005 Winters running a 5.005/291.57. I can't see how a car with a 413-inch engine with less boost and a lower gear is going to be even as quick and fast as that car. In the last week I have talked with several car owners, engine builders and tuners, and to a man those folks are opposed to the proposed new radical engine specs. All of them had basically the same concern: no matter what the talk is, a brand new engine combination with a single mag, single fuel pump, a 3:50 mandatory rear gear and a significantly smaller engine would cost all the teams a ton of R&D money, not to mention money budgeted for parts. |
