Private Homes, Southeast house description
Come enjoy all the beauty and comfort of this gorgeous 2400 s/f piece of paradise.
This house is incredibly open and airy, and very well maintained with 10 foot ceilings, 8 foot doors, 7 ceiling fans, modern appliances, pool table, wireless Internet, and much, much more.
The master bedroom features two walk-in closets, Brazilian cherry flooring, and a huge ensuite with glass enclosed shower, corner deep-soaker tub, separate vanities, private washroom, and exit to the lanai. The second bedroom is like another master bedroom with its own ensuite, exit to the lanai and one of three flat screen televisions in the home. Live in luxury as this newer home is truly one of the most beautiful in the neighborhood.
Lounge any time of day on the large southern exposure lanai/pool area. Sizzle your steaks on the barbecue as you listen to your favorite music through the exterior stereo speakers. Take a canoe trip along the canal from your backyard and marvel at the abundant wildlife and lush tropical foliage. Sit on the dock and cast a line. Or if it's possible - do nothing. Just relax, whether it's for one week or several months.
If relaxing isn't part of your vocabulary, you're a 10 minute walk from restaurants, nightclubs, and grocery shopping, or a 5 minute drive from downtown Cape Coral, 10 minutes to the core of Fort Myers. Visit some of the local beaches along world famous Sanibel Island and Ft. Myers Beach. You want it, it's here. That's why we call it 'paradise'.

My family was really looking forward to spend one week of our Florida Christmas vacation in this house especially after looking at the pictures online. After arriving and looking around we found everything to be in perfect condition and even more beautiful than we thought. Barrie and Hillary, the owners, were just a pleasure to communicate and do business with. We left after 7 days with a heavy heart and decided to come back whenever possible.Recommended for: People with disabilities, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+.
Manager response: You're welcome Caroline! And thanks for sending us your group picture by the pool. Really nice to see others enjoying their stay.

When we arrived at this home we were amazed with the view. The entire back wall of the home is made of sliding glass doors that open onto the pool area and canal. The home is modern and contains anything you could need while staying there. The owners were very easy to communicate with and made sure that our time at their home was relaxing from the time we checked in to the day we left. The location of the home is very convienent for quick trips to the store or spending a day on Sanibel Island. The neighborhood is great for running, walking, or going for a bike ride. We look forward to the next time we return to Cape Coral and stay here again.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+.
Manager response: Glad to have you back anytime Julie!

My sisters and I stayed in this home for a week in April. Everything about this home met our expectations and more. It was well kept and immaculately clean. The master bedroom was awesome and the kitchen well-equipped. Everything we needed was there - from beach towels to coolers. We really enjoyed Fort Myers Beach, which was less than a half-hour away. We also visited Sanibel Island and Captiva. But most of all, we just enjoyed lounging by the beautiful pool. We definitely did not want to leave when the week was over and are looking forward to returning next year. It was also a pleasure to deal with the owners, who are very accommodating and helpful.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+.
Manager response: So glad you and your sisters enjoyed your stay Jan. Looking forward to hearing from you again next year! Enjoy your summer.

Cape Coral is a wonderful location for any first time visitors. It's half hour to the closest beach and half hour from Tanger Outlet Mall. This was our 4th time renting from vrbo and Hillary and Barrie made communication so easy right from our very first inquiry to the last day when we arrived back home. On the day we arrived in Florida we found a laminated binder very well indexed with everything we needed to know inside from, to who to call for repairs to area attractions and restaurants. The house was welcoming, spacious and well equipped right down to a pizza cutter. They even had a computer we could use thought we had brought our own. The southern exposer to the pool afforded us all day Florida sunshine which kept the pool very pleasant for swimming in the winter. We highly recommend this property.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Manager response: Very glad you enjoyed your Christmas and New Years in Cape Coral. Thanks very much for taking such great care of our home.

Our stay was too short! We loved staying in this beautiful home! We have rented in Florida for the last 4 years and this was our first trip and stay in South Florida and will return to this area and home if its available next year. It is beautifully decorated and so comfortable that it feels as if you are living in your own home. The property is conviently located to shopping or to going over the bridge to Fort Myers for shopping or entertainment! Loved everything about our stay! All photos on the site are accurate but the home and area are much more beautiful than the pictures reflect :)Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+.
Manager response: Thanks very much! We're very glad you enjoyed your stay and sincerely hope you can return again!

We stayed at this terrific home for 2 weeks and had a brilliant holiday. The house is even better in the flesh than it is in the listing. It is in a great location - quiet but close to all amenities and the best beaches. An unexpected pastime was feeding the turtles which come to the dock at the bottom of the garden when they sense food is about! It was a pleasure doing business with Barrie and Hillary and we fully recommend this house to all VRBO members.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, people with disabilities, families with young children, age 55+.
Manager response: What a pleasure it's been to have our first UK visitors! Thanks very much for the kind words. Please come back again sometime, and send your friends! Barrie & Hillary

We again enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. Not only is it so well maintained, it has many new improvements -- the beautiful flooring being the most noticeable. It literally took my breath away. The house is so very tastefully decorated. The shopping is so convenient, the restaurants we favor are nearby, and we have friends living within a 20 minute drive -- it's perfect for us. Truly home away from home. Thank you Barrie and Hillary for always being available to us, Sally and RogerRecommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, people with disabilities, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+.

We stayed at this beautiful, immaculate and peaceful house for three weeks. We enjoyed the serenity of each morning having breakfast on the patio, watching the birds such as the Anhingas drying their wings, the Ibis feeding on the lawn, or the egrets flying by over the canal. Many afternoons were spent by the pool soaking up the sun and evenings which always seemed to end with beautiful sunsets over the canal. The house location made it perfect for day trips to the islands, the everglades, or shopping. We will be sure to return...Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+.

We recently rented this gorgeous home for a family vacation (six people total). This spacious three-bedroom home provided everything that we could possibly need for our stay in sunny Florida. We thoroughly enjoyed lounging by the pool on the generous lanai - morning, afternoon, and evening! The serene setting provided the perfect space for our family of three plus our friends and their child. During our stay we also enjoyed day trips to Fort Myers beach, Sanibel Island, and several local golf courses. We returned home feeling well-rested and relaxed after our stay at this immaculate Florida gem.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+.

We loved our stay in Florida at this residence!! The house is more beautiful than in the pictures and is extremely well equipped, right down to spices in the kitchen. It is spacious, clean, and was perfect for our family of five. After our daily adventures, we looked forward to returning to our "home". We would definitely like to return.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+.

Year Purchased: 2008
About: Barrie and Hillary Harrison live in Edmonton, Canada. Although they live in the northwestern part of Canada, they're happy to head to the southeastern corner of the United States whenever possible. When in Canada, they're pleased to open their Florida home to folks from around the world who can share in their little corner of paradise.
Why Private Homes, Southeast:
Ocean, beach, humidity, and the best year-round weather in all of the US - need we say more? And the location is perfect with many flights right into Fort Myers, only 20 minutes from home. If touring the region, take a 2 hour drive north to Tampa, or head south to Key West. Or better yet, just relax pool-side with a book and a refreshment - and lounge the day away. We're very pleased with our Florida home, the very friendly people (almost as friendly as Canadians!), and our decision to make Cape Coral our home away from home.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Even the taller people don't have to worry about overhead hazards as our home features 10 foot ceilings and 8 foot doors. This is such a nicely built home with the extra touches that set it apart from others, from quality fixtures to a tiled roof and beautiful landscaping. The interior is extremely roomy and well laid out with the master bedroom on one side of the home, and two separate bedroom exits to the lanai, along with the sliding doors that open up completely to open the back of the house to the outdoor elements. There's nothing better than sliding those doors open first thing in the morning, and enjoying the fresh morning air before the heat of the day sets in. It's a daily ritual for us, with a fresh Florida grapefruit in hand.

Other Club DrugsChloral hydrate: A sedative, chloral hydrate can be swallowed in the liquid or capsule form or inserted into the rectum. The combination of chloral hydrate and alcohol, known as a Mickey Finn, produces rapid loss of consciousness. This action of placing chloral hydrate into an alcoholic beverage of someone else without their knowledge is referred to as "slipping a Mickey." In addition to sedative brain effects, chloral hydrate also lowers a person's ability to breathe, irritates the gastrointestinal tract, and interrupts the normal beating of the heart. Mild use is similar to alcohol intoxication (drowsiness and unsteadiness). Users often have a pear-like odor on their breath. With increased use, chloral hydrate can cause death, usually from heart disturbances. Dextromethorphan: An over-the-counter cough suppressant, dextromethorphan has gained popularity as a drug of abuse because of its structural similarity to PCP and morphine derivatives. It is also known as DM, Robo, and Robo shots. Dextromethorphan is a depressant that can produce a high with hallucinations similar to those of PCP at larger doses. Almost two 4-oz bottles of over-the-counter cough suppressant must be ingested to reach these doses. Nausea and vomiting often prevent drinking large amounts. Pure forms are also available over the Internet. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Club Drugs

THE NATIONAL Assembly coalition was split last night when the six Liberal Democrat AMs voted against an official Labour proposal to support proposed Whitehall changes to the postal system.
The Assembly will now tell Postcomm that it is opposed to the changes.
After the vote, a Labour AM said, "They are traitors to the coalition; once again the Liberal Democrats are working in opposition to a Labour policy."
Tories and Liberal Democrats joined to support a Plaid Cymru motion passed by 25 votes to 24 opposing support for Postcomm plans.
Peter Black, a Lib-Dem deputy minister, told yesterday's plenary session, "My party shares the concern of the Communications Work-ers' Union that the sorts of competition proposed by Post-comm will kill off door-to-door deliveries in difficult-to-get-to areas such as the countryside."
Mr Black also criticised the impact of Consignia's proposed cuts on post offices in Wales.
Dai Lloyd, of Plaid Cymru, said the UK Government proposals via Postcomm involved "complete liberalisation, meaning complete privatisation by April 1, 2006".
He said, "There are widespread fears that the UK government proposals leading to the rapid introduction of competition for postal services could result in a complete breakdown in the delivery of a universal service at a reasonable uniform price."
First Minister Rhodri Morgan said, "In postal terms, this raises the question of cherry picking. How do you continue to provide the universal service obligation at one price for the letter of the same weight right across the UK?"
At Westminster, 15 Welsh MPs condemned Consignia's management of "ignoring the needs of Wales".

Even more scary than your child leaving the nest may just be paying for their new nest! If your son or daughter will be attending college in the near future, you may already be experiencing some anxiety about how to pay for college tuition. Fortunately, there are several options you can look into for financial assistance.

In today's world, younger generations possess a large amount of spending power and influence. This power is ideal for companies because many items kids buy fall under the "luxury" category, things like: games, music, and clothing.
Unfortunately, the advertisements that attract youth to these items usually work by making them feel insecure. Teenage years are often the easiest target because issues like body image, power, and peer acceptance are sought after by teens and easy for advertisers to focus on.

Whether your parents taught you at a young age how to handle money, or you're ready to get a grip on it now, it's never too late to be financially responsible. In many cases, college is the first experience we have that requires managing rent and other expenses. This is also a time period where college students make many mistakes. Below we have listed some common mistakes college students should avoid. If you're aware of these lessons now, you won't have to look back and regret your financial mistake later.

If you're not knowledgeable with your own finances, this is the time to educate yourself. It's never too soon or too late to begin talking with your children about money. Don't know where to start? Begin with books written by people known for helping others with financial success. The sooner you get your finances under control, the sooner you'll be able to lead your children by example. Remember, actions speak louder than words.
Here are four tips for teaching your kids about money:
1) Keep it age appropriate: The current economic situation makes it difficult to hide conversations about money. If your child happens to overhear your discussions about finances, remember to keep your explanations in a language they understand. It may be best to refer to a bank account or ATM as a piggy bank when speaking to younger children. When your child is older, tell them mall money comes from working (in their case an allowance from chores). Remember, it's okay at any age to tell your child they can't have the newest toy or overpriced t-shirt because it doesn't fit into your budget. Even though it may be hard, you're setting an excellent example on how to set boundaries and stick to your budget.

There's a lot to think about when planning for retirement. And, of course, the earlier you get started, the better. Below are a few tips to get you on the right track.
Contribute to your employer's retirement savings plan. If you work for a company that offers a savings plan, such as a 401(k), contribute as much as you can. It is wise to contribute at least the full amount the company will match. Make sure to find out when you are fully vested as well.

Whether you're in the transition stage or already in college, paying for your education is likely at the top of your priority list. That being said, free money sounds pretty appealing, right?
You've heard it a thousand times, "Apply for scholarships!" You know your financial future is important, but those large scholarship databases have left you feeling like a little fish in a big pond. You're up against so many people and it seems the odds are not in your favor. What can you do to stand out?

It's never too early to start thinking about college planning. In fact, it's a good idea to start the process as early as your freshman year in high school.

Roth may have been before his time in writing about chaos. The solid, upstanding life lived by Swede's parents dissolves into total chaos in Swede's life, almost like a chain reaction after Merry bombs the store. In the end, no matter how much effort goes into keeping things orderly and upright, chaos eventually overtakes everything. In other words, within the order lies the potential for chaos and vice versa. The harder Swede tries to be "normal", the more intense the chaos becomes. One bomb had the effect of disintegrating his marriage, his mental health, and his way of life. By the time he learns of the second bomb, everything he thought was true and solid has crumbled completely. One can assume that he would have lost his business, as well, if the story had continued. Even the most perfect rose eventually wilts, turns brown, dies, falls to pieces...

Summer grilling with Korean-style beef short ribs
Kalbi or Korean-style beef short ribs are so tender they will melt like butter in your mouth.
(Page 2 of 2)
Korean Barbequed Beef Short Ribs (Kalbi)
Skip to next paragraphBorn in Indonesia and raised in Singapore, Patricia Tanumihardja writes about food, travel, and lifestyle through a multicultural lens and has been published in numerous national and regional publications. Pat is also the creator of the "Asian Ingredients 101" iPhone and Android app, a glossary on-the-go that's the perfect companion on a trip to the Asian market. Her first book, The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook: Home Cooking from Asian American Kitchens, will be available in paperback in September 2012.

All Korean grandmothers have their own little secrets for making and tenderizing kalbi. Soda, sugar, and Asian pears are all common tenderizing agents. Grandma Sang Jung Choi massages kiwis into Korean-style short ribs – beef ribs cut about 1/4-inch thick across the bone (instead of between bones) with three bones per slice – they are often available in Asian markets. Your butcher may also have the similarly cut flanken-style or cross-cut beef chuck short ribs; just ask if the slices can be cut a little thinner. Kalbi is lovely with cabbage kimchi.
Time: 30 minutes plus marinating
Makes: 6 to 8 servings as part of a multicourse family-style meal
4 pounds Korean-style beef short ribs
2 kiwis, peeled and pureed in a blender
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 cup soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped (2 tablespoons)
1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated (1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Korean red pepper powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
20-ounce bottle lemon-lime soda
Vegetable oil for brushing
Using your hands, massage the short ribs with the kiwi purée. Sprinkle each piece evenly with sugar and let sit while you make the marinade.
In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, sesame oil, honey, red pepper powder, pepper, and soda. Place the ribs in a single layer in a wide shallow pan and pour the marinade over, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for at least 1 hour, or preferably 12 hours.
Prepare a medium charcoal fire (you can hold your hand over the rack for no more than 3 or 4 seconds) with the rack 4 to 6 inches from the coals, or preheat a gas grill to medium. While the grill is heating up, drain the ribs from the marinade. Reserve the marinade for basting, if desired.
Brush the grill rack with oil and grill the ribs in batches until they turn caramel brown and develop slightly charred edges, 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Baste with the reserved marinade during the first 10 minutes of grilling if you like.
Pat's Notes: If you prefer, omit the soda and add more sugar or honey for a little extra sweetness.

Championship form Against Broncos, Ravens show they're still tough to beat
Updated: Monday October 01, 2001 7:40 PM
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- The swagger is back. One week after absorbing their first loss in 11 months, the Baltimore Ravens proved Sunday that it's too early to question their ability to repeat as Super Bowl champions. The Ravens spotted the unbeaten Denver Broncos an early touchdown Sunday, then rebounded to record an uplifting 20-13 victory. Combining a typically solid defensive performance with an offense that finally displayed some balance, Baltimore soared back to the short list of contenders for the AFC crown. Although the Ravens didn't arrive from Denver until 3:30 a.m. Monday, the players wore smiles and carried an upbeat attitude into the team training complex less than 12 hours later.
It was a stark contrast from one week earlier, when head coach Brian Billick endured a sleepless night and the players were in a daze in the wake of a 21-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. "Oh, man, it's like night and day, like opposite sides of the globe," running back Obafemi Ayanbadejo said. "Last week, we were down and out and couldn't wait to get back on the field. Today, we don't want to lose this feeling, especially after playing a team like Denver," he said. "We showed we're the defending champs. Not Tennessee, not Denver. Us." Billick, noting that Indianapolis and Jacksonville were victimized by upset losses Sunday, said the Ravens are preparing for a season in which just about anything goes. "This year is going to be about character and chemistry," he said. "It's not going to be about X's and O's, because the talent is pretty equitable from team to team. Who best weathers the storms is going to be the one who ends up standing alone at the end." The Ravens lost their aura of invincibility at Cincinnati and entered the Denver game as five-point underdogs, but turned in a performance worthy of their stature as defending Super Bowl champions. After the Broncos converted an interception of Elvis Grbac into a touchdown, Denver got no closer to scoring than the Baltimore 19 and managed only two field goals in the final 59 minutes. Someone suggested Monday that it was the best performance by the Baltimore defense in two seasons, and Billick concurred. "When you add up the circumstances of where we were, who we were playing, what we were coming off and that opening 20 seconds, that's probably a fair assessment," he said. The offense did its share by amassing 333 yards, including 112 from a running game that produced only 118 yards in the first two games. It all added up to a big win on the heels of a disappointing loss. "It makes you mad because we finally played the way we know we can play, knowing how difficult it is to beat Denver in Colorado," tight end Shannon Sharpe said. "But it's also knowing we can take care of business week in and week out." About the only flawed aspect of Baltimore's effort was kickoff coverage; Denver gained 165 yards on five returns. "It was a combination of their aggressiveness and our lack of aggressiveness," Ayanbadejo said. "That, and our getting out of our lanes." The Ravens would love to spend the week celebrating the victory, but there's another task at hand: Baltimore next faces a Tennessee team coming off a bye and eager to rebound from an 0-2 start. "The losses linger and linger," Billick said, "but about halfway through the tunnel at Denver, I was thinking about Tennessee."

Welsh businessman Emery Lyon says he learned how to fly when he was only 13.
That's when his older brother went off to college and left his airplane and flight books behind.
And I decided, heck, I know how to fly. I've read these books. I stole his little airplane and I in fact did learn enough in the books to handle the airplane. And I got it back on the ground.
Without his parents knowledge, Emery would fly to air shows as far away as Houston and Shreveport. He got away with it until one day, a federal agent showed up at his home and started talking with his dad.
He said that airplane that's parked over there in that hangar has been flown by an underage kid on the weekends. He showed a picture of me in Houston sitting on the wheel of the airplane watching the air show. A picture! My dad looked at that and said, "emery!"
At the age of 15, he started crop dusting, earning $400 a weekend in 1952. From there, he started bought his own business and has been crop dusting ever since. He's seen a lot of changes over the years, but the biggest has been GPS tracking of spraying.
That was the biggest change in the industry from the time I started until current day, two things, first devoted airplanes to this industry and the flagging of the airplanes across the field.
Now with new owners arriving next month, Emery Lyon is looking forward to retirement. But he says he'll still fly every now and then.

Why did you choose to buy a vacation rental in this location?
We bought into Kapalua because of the unique and integrated feeling of the entire Kapalua resort -- the beauty of the green surroundings, Cook Pines, destination resort, golf, fitness, water sports, etc. Within the resort, we chose the Golf Villas because of their location (view of the Bay golf course and partial ocean view) and the fact that they are largely sheltered from the evening trade winds, allowing perfect conditions to sit on the lanai in the evenings.
Describe some of the unique benefits you enjoy while staying at your property.
Western facing Sunset views, watching golfers tee it up right in front of us on the 11th tee of the Bay course, casual lanai dining for all meals, time with friends sharing the unit as well as those friends we've made in the community.

Family Traveling with Young Children
The location was great and I have actually recommended it already. The shuttle during the week was also a plus because we got in around 6:30pm and needed to eat supper yet. Our driver was awesome and we actually wish we had a chance to talk to him again. The down side to the hotel was being told on Sunday to let the staff know on Monday morning that we wanted a late checkout, and then being told Monday morning they could not do it. When I showed irritation, she said she could give me 1/2 hr. Another downside was our room. The bathroom needed some attention. The toilet paper holder was falling off the wall and stained/dirty. The bathroom overall needed some work. The one problem we had with our A/C was completely handled by Nora and her staff. ...

My family had a great stay there. We arrived on Thanksgiving day, Nora at the front desk was extremely helpful and cheerful. Even though we had some technical issues (the heater in our room did not work) she got us into another room quickly even went to check the heater in the other room before she sent us there. The sweet lady that prepped breakfast was also wonderful, she had a bright smile and was extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and quiet. But the great staff really set this hotel apart! ...

This briefing paper was published after the Newman Institute's conference on Better Building, which was held at the Harvard Club in November 2013. The paper reflects topics of discussion from the event, including an introduction and overview of the subject matter; technological innovations and constructibility; best practices in construction management; better cooperation among stakeholders; current challenges facing the development sector and its partners; building better in New York through resiliency and sustainability; and recommendations and key takeaways for future action.
The aim of this white paper is to share the experience of the Australian commercial real estate community in developing new approaches to address the business risks associated with climate change. By sharing experiences, wider dialogue will be encouraged on the actions that property owners can take to minimize climate-related risks and to maximize opportunities.
To develop a comprehensive organizational change leadership program, internal individuals and groups that can influence energy efficiency outcomes, both technically and in terms of financial decisions, need to be identified and engaged in the process. One simple but important tool that practitioners have used to do this is a stakeholder analysis. This involves identifying who the key stakeholders are within the organization and the way that they can influence energy efficiency outcomes.
The inaugural version of this paper, published one year ago, observed a shift in ownership of New York office buildings from families to public real estate investment trusts (REITs). Market observers now see this trend accelerated by the possible initial public offering (IPO) of Empire State Realty Trust (ESB), a new REIT controlled by the Malkin and Wien families along with the Helmsley estate. This shift is driven by several factors which include estate taxes, division of assets among multiple heirs, and rules limiting the duration of estates.
Asset management is a well-established concept in infrastructure, utilities, and heavy industry. Asset management activities in these sectors have produced a sound set of business processes and procedures, educational programs, products, and services that can be translated to the commercial real estate sector. The development of a broad international standard will further enhance the tools and services available to all sectors. Furthermore, the ISO management systems approach provides a solid foundation for asset management, whether or not an organization decides to register under an ISO Standard. Accordingly, asset management is a permanent organizational function, which requires a life-cycle view of physical assets as well as a strategic perspective. Because most of an organization's energy use and environmental impacts flow through its physical assets, asset management also provides an ideal framework for addressing these issues, along with increasingly important security concerns.
The high level question is: how can physical assets be best used to meet organizational objectives? The answer requires a fresh look at what the organization owns, why it was acquired, what condition it is in, where it is located and what opportunities it provides or risks it entails. This process will uncover synergies among assets and among actions on these assets. It will also provide an additional method of measuring organizational performance through asset performance. This new view is well supported by advances in the breadth, depth and quality of asset data available and in the tools for data management, analysis and decision-making. It is also supported by advances in business process, control and automation, which allow for efficient implementation of asset management decisions.
As a suite of process tools, Building Information Modeling (BIM) creates a new level of transparency for project stakeholders. It enables waste reduction and improves profitability. It allows valuable project information to adhere to project objectives and creates a reporting mechanism for those who need project information. Benefits include a planning basis for planners, a go/no-go platform-assessment system for decision makers and a single collection point for all data that a project generates. Energy use, LEED compliance, facilities management, project personnel and numerous other goals can be managed effectively through an intelligent application of BIM. With a comprehensive Facilities Management (FM) package, one can quickly access project information that once required hours of searching through records. If FM involvement occurs early in a project, and its interests are coupled with the best tools on the market, BIM can play an indispensable role in improving the FM process and maximizing a project's lifetime value.
The purpose of this white paper is to promote the continued consideration of the upper tier as a value-added attribute of New York City real estate. The High Line, which runs from Gansevoort Street at the south end near 12th Street to 30th Street at the north, will run north to 34th Street when its third and final phase is opened to the public. An upper tier offers notable features that give it a unique identity including: separation from traffic, aesthetics, security, accessibility and services integration. This white paper, in conjunction with the lessons learned from the upper tier, can encourage new urban design considerations in New York City and perhaps provide valuable inspirations for cities and towns worldwide.
Real estate is typically a privately-owned asset, making it difficult or impossible to obtain detailed information about a property's occupancy, rents, and operating income. However, nearly 20% of Manhattan's Class A office space is controlled by four REITs that are required to publicly disclose this information. Presented in this unique research whitepaper is an in-depth look at these REIT-controlled holdings, including estimated valuations and recent transactions. Additionally, the REIT performance is contrasted with that of the overall Manhattan office market for a comparative analysis.
As real estate prices adjust to new market conditions, including lower rents and occupancy, the commercial mortgage market is impacted by stricter underwriting standards and limited financing. When a New York office building's mortgage was sold to an investor, it shortened the life of the Commercial Mortgage Backed Security (CMBS) bond, reducing the bond's value. In addition, foreclosed real estate also generates significant prepayment risk to bond investors. Real estate investors, bond portfolio managers, and those interested in understanding securitized financing will all benefit by reading this paper.
The zoning approval process for the Tower Verre, the latest addition of a building on the Museum of Modern Art's complex, took place in 2009. The museum, along with the internationally renowned architect, Jean Nouvel, and the project's developer, Hines Interests, requested project approval for the tower. The West 54-55 Street Block Association, representing residents in the West Fifties between Fifth Avenue and the Avenue of the Americas, sought a height reduction in the 1250-foot planned building. In response, Nouvel asked, "Why is Manhattan, of all places, afraid of heights?"
The Banking on the Future conference served as a platform to bring together notable experts and thought leaders to broadly examine concepts related to national, regional and state infrastructure banks. This report summarizes conference proceedings, reviews selected infrastructure bank and finance models that have already been implemented in areas around the world, and sets forth several solution-oriented recommendations to help continue the conversation on rebuilding and expanding infrastructure in New York City, New York State and the United States.
Brooklyn has evolved like many older industrialized areas within and outside of New York City. To prepare for the future, it needs to continue to evaluate the deployment of its infrastructure and existing land use in an effort to understand if it is prepared to support current and future development. The area definitely has components of its economic capacity and urban design that are significantly underutilized, as well as regions with high levels of congestion, activity and growth. Some existing levels of activity are linked to actual competitive advantages, such as location, weather or access to labor. The state of the waterfront in Brooklyn has much to teach us about the structural transformations that occur in modern urban regions.

We have collected 7 reviews of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V. Experts rate Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V 8.7/10. Reviewsor.com helps you find reviews, best prices, user reviews of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V and Sony Digital cameras.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V is a feature-packed travel-zoom camera that sits at the top of the Cyber-shot range. Offering a 20x, 25-500mm zoom lens, 18.2 megapixel back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and built-in GPS tracking complete with a compass, the HX20V also has full 1080i high-definition video recording with stereo sound and HDMI output and 3D Sweep Panoramas and 3D Still Images. Other key features of the Sony HX20V include a 3 inch LCD screen with 921,000-dots, fast 0.13 second auto-focusing, 10fps burst shooting mode at full resolution, ISO range of 100-12800, Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode, Intelligent Auto Plus, Program and full Manual shooting modes, artistic Picture Effect modes, Intelligent Sweep Panoramas, and support for both Memory Stick PRO Duo and Secure Digital cards. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V is available in black or brown for £329.99 / $399.99. The DSC-HX20V is Sony's latest travel-zoom camera, following 2011's popular HX9V model.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V is the midrange model in Sony's trio of GPS-equipped travel zoom cameras. All three cameras - the HX10V ($330), HX20V ($370), and HX30V ($390) - all use the same 18.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor. The differences are simple: the HX10V has a 16X zoom lens, while the other two models have a 20X lens. The HX30V earns its flagship status by offering Wi-Fi support. The HX20V has a lot more to offer than just its big lens. It also has both automatic and limited manual controls, HDR and other multi-shot options that improve image quality, a fun sweep panorama feature, and Full HD 1080/60p video recording. All that in a body that fits in your jeans pocket. As you may know, there are a lot of other travel zoom cameras out there - some of which are quite good. Is the Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V one of the top choices? The Cyber-shot HX20V has a healthy amount of built-in memory - 105MB to be exact. That holds seventeen photos at the highest quality setting, which isn't bad for emergencies. That said, you'll probably want to buy an actual memory card right away.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V ($399.99 direct) is a compact point-and-shoot camera with a long 20x zoom lens. The 18-megapixel shooter captures sharp photos, does well in dimmer light, and offers GPS—so you can geotag your photos. It's more expensive than basic models, but lacks the Wi-Fi capability of our Editors' Choice Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V ($419.99, 4 stars). Aside from that difference, the cameras are identical, so the HX20V is a good choice if you have no interest in Wi-Fi and would like to save a few dollars on your purchase. Editor's Note: This review is based on tests performed on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V, a camera that is nearly identical to the HX20V, but lacks Wi-Fi support. While we didn't perform lab tests on this specific camera, we expect similar performance. Design and FeaturesJust 2.5 by 4.25 by 1.4 inches (HWD) and 9 ounces, the DSC-HX20V is a little bit larger and heavier than the 20x Canon PowerShot SX260 HS ($349.99, 4 stars) which is 2.4 by 4.2 by 1.3 inches and 8.2 ounces. Even though it's not the smallest model you can find, the fact that there's a 20x (25-500mm equivalent) zoom lens in a body this size remains impressive.
Sony has a knack of cramming its Cyber-shot series with a whole host of imaging gadgetry, as well as a range of cutting edge features. The latest model in the range - the Sony HX20V - is no different at first glance.The HX20V features an 18.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, combined with Sony's BIONZ processing technology for enhanced performance in low-light conditions. The model's 20x optical zoom covers a focal range of 25-500mm, which is comprised of Sony's self-manufactured 'G' optics. The rear of the camera, meanwhile, houses a 3in 921k-dot LCD screen complete with Xtra Fine Trublack technology.So far, so advanced compact, but it's with its extra functionality that Sony's aims to distinguish the HX20V from the crowd. For example, the model's 20x optical zoom can be doubled in range using Sony's 'Clear Zoom' functionality - an advanced take on its digital zoom predecessor. The model also not only features Sweep Panorama shooting, but also a 3D variety of Sweep Panorama, while GPS functionality is also on offer. The list of advanced features and gadgetry continues, and for those struggling to get to grips with the functionality there's an in-camera guide to help the user with on-screen tips.
Sony's ability to pack impressive specs into cameras is one of the reasons why they've been able to make such an impact in the camera market in India. It goes without saying that an equally impressive balance of pricing and performance matches the specs. The HX9V was a testament of that fact, and now, the upgraded HX20V is here and we see whether it lives up to our expectations: Out of the box, the Sony Cyber-shot HX20V feels hefty, with a sturdy build, weighing in at roughly 250 grams, including the battery and SD card. The camera is made up of polycarbonate plastic that is 99% recycled materials (a proprietary technique Sony developed), which makes it feel rather metallic. We had to actually ask a few people to knock on the body and tell us whether it was plastic or metal! The model we received was black in color, and had matching buttons at the back. The finish was excellent, with the buttons blending seamlessly into the body. The right side of the camera has a rubber grip running along the back-to-front curve, to add to the comfort of holding the camera. In our opinion, it is an amazing addition as the rubber provides a better grip on the camera (no more accidental drops).
There are three things you want in a travel camera: a long zoom, decent resolution, and rugged good looks. With the HX20V, Sony's pretty much nailed each one. This 18.2-megapixel pocket snapper (4896x3672 pixels) has a sturdy chassis without any flex or give, and a 20x optical zoom to the front. Add to that built-in GPS features, a flash that automatically folds away to keep it out of trouble when not in use and a decent movie mode, and it looks like a winner. To see whether that was indeed the case, I took it out for a spin. The HX20V feels as good as it looks. There's a chunky rubber grip at one end that helps you keep a sturdy hold, even with just one hand. This is important when you're using the maximum 20x optical zoom and, even more-so, the 40x option. Sony's sales literature claims that the HX20V features '40x Clear Image Zoom' which, the company explains, 'doubles [the] 20x optical zoom range to an effective 40x, filling the frame with distant subjects while maintaining superb image quality'. While I can't argue with the first half of that statement, the second half didn't chime with what I discovered in my tests. The HX20V's zoom is extraordinary for so small a camera, and a real asset.
With the HX9V being one of the star superzoom compacts of 2011, there's a fair bit of pressure on Sony to come up with something even more amazing—or at least just as good—for its 2012 replacement. Sony hasn't been afraid to make major changes in the Cyber-shot HX20V, however, introducing a new 18-Megapixel sensor and 20x zoom lens. But in spite of its new specs and more rounded design, the HX20V is still a relatively classic compact, with no newfangled features such as a touchscreen or web connectivity. The HX20V brings some slight improvements to the design and handling of the HX9V. For example, the handle is now covered with a rubber finish that improves grip and which is more comfortable to hold than the ridged handle in the HX9V. Similarly, the rubber grip pad on the back of the camera is now smaller, more stylish and also more effective. The HX20V is still a relatively heavy camera by current market standards, but build quality is good in spite of a slight wobble to the flash and lens. Like in other recent Sony HX cameras, the HX20V has a 920,000-dot LCD. It has been treated to the same improvements in calibration as Sony's HX200V, with a stable grey scale, very slightly cool colours, and colour fidelity on the better side of average. All in all, it's a pleasant display to use.

Of course, there are no stars. No cricket can be heard. No deep night owl or the frantic scratching of a wild raccoon. Not even the dumb rooting of a possum. I swing the yellowed face of the lamp to the window, pull aside the curtains, and no swarm of bugs fling themselves at the warm eye on the window. Every creature is mad for light. That is the strangest thing about the city to me: the absence of bugs. At home, the night air clots with insects: small, buzzing bugs, wild about their copper wings, angry, frantic, twizzling in circles on our cracked concrete. I used to stomp on them when I was a child. Here, in the city, the night air is without wind and humid with many sounds: the growling exhaust of semi's, chainsaw motorcycles racing down the highway, sirens in route to calamity, the steady microwave hum of cars flowing by, a stream of muted colors under streetlight: weathered cotton, wild grass, serpent's tongue, the occasional fish-scale. It is almost midnight and the noise boils outside like a pot nearly gone dry.
A toilet flushes above us. Footsteps up there as well, and on the side. The muffled banter of television leaks through the sheet rock. Another flush. I am amazed at how often people pee. Our room is city-big: two rooms with a door between them. A fridge, dishwasher, basket with popcorn and coffee. The fridge judges me, I think. Shouldn't you be in Motel 6? The dishwasher collaborates. A suite, my wife told me. A hundred bucks, she added, familiar with my next question. Used a coupon. The plaster is knocked off a corner near the floor. I stare there waiting for the next word to arrive on this page. Some sort of aluminum or other metal glints from that absence. Earlier, I stood stunned with an erection in the pale light of the refrigerator. The empty fridge yawned. Cool air washed through me. One of the lampshades near the couch is warped and it casts wavy light. Two double beds, a large distance between them. She's sleeping with the baby; me, with the boy. It's just easier, she told me.
I was a King tonight, or at least a Lord in mention. A Lord, with a Lady, a prince, and a lap visitor, or whatever they named the baby. Medieval Times. I wore the paper crown, watched the horses prance in the sand, the muscles clutch in their thighs. The hooves clopped hard and kicked up dust. Ate chicken with my fingers, rife with grease. Lights spreading cones of amber that revealed the moments important in the performance. We should have such things in our lives. Lights that blare on to remind us to pay attention. Don't miss this. Mist. Orange sparks from the bark of battling swords. My boy's eyes wide, like someone had plugged him in. He would lean over and point something out, ask this or that. I couldn't make out a word of what he said. We waved our flags. I looked at the bosom of our waitress and let out long, slow breaths. Smoke from the performance flowed around us. The Lady and I took turns carting the lap visitor up the stairs to let her crawl on the cold stone in front of the king's throne.
We should settle traffic disputes with a joust. How I would love to ram a lance into that bitch's shield who sped up to block my access to the highway. To watch her eyes clarify in fear as she slips, feet flying up to land on her back in the packed sand. Beg for mercy, you cunt. I hold my thumb out sideways. The crowd roars its mock rage. Would the crowd ever make any choice other than thumbs down? Should I raise the blade? I do. I raise it and feel the crowd's lust reach into me, but--
--no, I slowed the car, crossed the line on the right into the gravel, weeds, and areas you are not supposed to go. Let her pass.
That better not have woken up the baby, my wife said. Why didn't you go over?
It's not worth it, I said.
She leans her head back. Sometimes I just want to strangle you, leaks from between her teeth.
I stand in the pale light of the fridge again. The hum of the fridge is quieter with your head inside it. Another motorcycle races by. Sleeping noises of my family in the other room and the clatter of the laptop keyboard in this one. The former sound has the better rhythm, regular, quiet, and sustained. Open ground has been compressed into strips and right angles, covered with yellow lines and concrete, contained. Buildings everywhere: tall, crashing alphabets of concrete and glass; squatting H's and lean I's, dots of white and yellow lights for punctuation. It's almost as if everything hums: the fridge, the window from the noise outside, this laptop. It's a cringing sound, wide and long in the country, but troubled here by the L's of corners and butting denial of glass. This whole city is a dense paragraph. The weight of it presses in and makes me tight, like a ball of aluminum foil from a fist. The false light of the city floods the night, a pale wash bright enough to stain away the stars.
