Little Italy condo description
Enjoy the comforts of luxury in this beautiful, modern condo located in the heart of downtown San Diego. 180-degree views of the city and the bay. Two bedroom, two bath loft-style condo with 10-foot ceilings and modern kitchen.
Welcome to this beautiful, contemporary condo in the heart of Downtown San Diego! This two bed, two bath, fully furnished corner unit features 180-degree views of the city and the bay. Enjoy city lights to the north, San Diego Bay and Harbor Island to the west, and Coronado Island and the Pacific Ocean to the south - all within the comfort of your home. Recently renovated, this loft-style condo boasts 10-foot ceilings, sleek leather seating in the living room, coupled with a 50" flat panel TV equipped with digital cable, DVR, and a DVD player. The kitchen has everything you may need and features stainless steel appliances and terrazzo counter tops. Enjoy the views while you prepare your culinary masterpiece! Both bedrooms contain in-suite bathrooms, 32" flat panel televisions, cable and DVD, iPod/iPhone docking stations with built-in speakers and alarm clocks, and plenty of closet space. One bedroom offers a king-size bed, a French balcony, and a bath with both a shower and a soaking tub. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, a bathroom (also accessible from the entryway in the condo) with an all-glass shower, and a workspace. A second balcony with seating, a small table, and a gas grill allows you to soak up some California sunshine while enjoying the sights and sounds of San Diego. The condo also has Wi-Fi, a land line phone for local calls, and two private parking spaces in a secure area within the building for your use - a rarity in the downtown area! Laundry facilities are located between the entryway and kitchen. There is an aerospace-style bed available as well to sleep an additional two adults for parties of more than four.
This stunning home is located in the trendy, upscale downtown borough of Little Italy, a quaint yet vibrant neighborhood filled with award-winning restaurants, shopping, wine bars, antique stores, and one-of-a-kind home decor shops and art boutiques. Enjoy the numerous festivals just a couple of blocks away, including the weekly Saturday morning farmer's market. Little Italy is filled with many delicious Italian restaurants and markets; however, kabobs, crepes, sushi, Mexican and American fare are also aplenty here. Extraordinary Desserts, a popular place to go for unique treats, is just around the corner from your front door!
If you choose to venture out of Little Italy and explore the rest of downtown, it is easy to do so on foot. Walk to Seaport Village (a waterfront restaurant and shopping spot), Horton Plaza (a vibrant mall located in the heart of downtown which offers stores for everyone), and the San Diego Convention and Civic Centers. The Embarcadero, just a few blocks west, is a seaside promenade where you can take a nice stroll, tour an aircraft carrier (the USS Midway), or take a short ferry ride to Coronado Island (Coronado has a beautiful public golf course with views and is home to Coronado Beach - frequently rated as the #1 beach in the United States). SeaWorld and scenic La Jolla are just a 15 minute drive from the condo; beautiful Balboa Park, which houses many museums, and Old Town San Diego, with its many historical buildings, shops, and excellent Mexican cuisine (even a registered haunted house - spooky!) are both only a 5 minute drive. LEGOLAND is 30 minutes north in beautiful Carlsbad. If you are up for a day trip, head up the coast a couple of hours to Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm in Orange County, or take the ferry out to beautiful Catalina Island. Drive inland an hour to explore the wineries of Temecula, or 2 1/2 hours east and you will find yourself in Palm Springs! There is so much to do in San Diego and Southern California that the possibilities are endless!
Please inquire about additional excursions and activities, or with any questions you may have. We would be happy to help make your stay here a fabulous one!
Please check with booking agent for holiday and special event fees.

Fantastic, well appointed condo in Little Italy. Was within walking distance of Little Italy, Gaslamp district, Seaport village, USS Midway, and only a short walk to the tramline access other attractions like Old Town. Cindy was also very helpful and accommodating. I would thoroughly recommend a stay in this beautiful condo!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My parents, my husband and myself just completed a month-long stay in this condo and it was a wonderful experience! The unit is exactly as described, and is furnished in a very modern, tasteful manner. The views are amazing! We watched the sunset over the bay many nights while we were there. The location could not be better - Little Italy within easy walking distance, and there really is not a bad restaurant on the whole street! The Farmer Market every Saturday morning is glorious. That is why we choose this neighborhood for our escape from the Phoenix heat in August. Easy walking to the harbor, to the Gaslamp, etc. The unit is very well equipped - we cooked lots of meals including stir-fry. They actually had a wok! The building is clean, quiet and safe. The whole area is super dog-friendly. And best of all, Extraordinary Desserts is right around the corner! It was a struggle to not go in there every day for the exquisite creations they make there. Also the management company was great, they met us in the condo when we arrived, made sure everything was in order, and were very accommodating. The Wi-Fi was excellent, I worked from the condo almost every day, and it was fast and reliable. I would definitely rent here again!Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

This place truly matches the pictures provided here: very spacious, tons of natural light, and very comfortable. Plenty of room for our family of four with two tween-age kids. Location is awesome, too, right at the lower edge of Little Italy makes walking in for dinner a snap, and two nights we even walked to/from GasLight with no problem at all, too. Easy walk to the Midway and Coronado ferry, too. Of course there's a place to park your car which makes driving to/from the apartment very easy, too. We've done quite a few AirBnB-style stays for our family vacations, and this place rates up there as one of the best. Thanks!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 8/8

Our family had a great stay here. The location was great! We walked to restaurants in Little Italy and Gaslamp as well as the Midway museum. The property had everything we needed including a great, sunny, comfortable living room. There was plenty of towels and the beds were comfortable. Communication with the owner was easy. We didn't do much cooking, but the kitchen seemed to be fully equipped. Parking was easy and secure. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking to stay in San Diego.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 8/8

My family had a great time staying downtown. We were in town to visit family and wanted to try a vacation rental to reduce the burden on local family - it was a very nice experience. The unit was well maintained and in a good location. It's downtown, on the edge of the Little Italy neighborhood and a short walk from trolley, train and the water. My only complaint is that this is a condo complex with some younger residents, so it can get a bit noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. Otherwise, a great place to stay and a very good value.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

The appartment is very very nice! The furnitures are very modern. The beds are really comfortable and I liked especially the ice machine (I don't have one at home). ***miss it now*** There is a greate view out of the windows. You can easily walk to the city within 10 minutes. There are also 2 slots for cars available in the garage (makes it easy to park your car ;-) Thanks a lot for this great time...Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

Property was 100% as described. Great central location and convenient to trolley line as well as walking to downtown locations. Many GREAT resturants within 3 blocks. Property management folks were a joy to deal with and responsive to questions. They even offered to take us to the airport for our trip home. The property was well maintained and the secure parking spaces were a great plus. If we go back to San Diego again in 2010 this will be our first choice.Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, sightseeing, tourists without a car.

I ordered 2 dresses on Monday for next day delivery, this was the first time I'd used this site and it's now Wednesday, my dresses are still not here. I ordered these at about midday on Monday so there is no reason why they were not sent to me the following day. I do not think its fair, or right to advertise free 'next day delivery' when it's not so. I was left feeling disappointed and in a big rush to find something different to wear. A massive shame, and judging by the reviews on here it's something they really ought to sort out. I only hope my dresses fit me now as I dread to think what it would be like getting a refund out of them..

As you read the requirements for earning a Doctor of Commissioner Science degree (available in Section III, Chapter 4 of the current Administration of Commissioner Service manual), you will find a fair amount of information on writing a thesis but there is scant mention of doing a project. A team is currently updating that chapter of the manual with additional information on doing projects.
Although that section is not ready for publication, there have been a number of questions about doing a project in lieu of a thesis. The following guidelines below are recommended for doctoral projects until the manual update has been approved and released:
The intent of doing a project is for improved commissioner service as well as personal growth. A well-executed project will have multiple benefits.

Billy Crystal, Jimmy Fallon
This week, Billy Crystal revealed the little-known true origins of Duck Dynasty in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, while Jimmy Kimmel hosted "Modern Family Feud" with the young cast members of Modern Family. Yahoo! released a spoof of ESPN's 30 for 30 about the basketball game in Space Jam, Scott Porter took TVGuide.com on a tour of the Hart of Dixie set, and a Russian police choir sang Daft Punk's "Get Lucky." Check out those clips and more in our weekly roundup of the best online videos:
Sarah Shahi, Paige Turco and Taraji P. Henson
Last Thursday, I was honored to moderate a panel at the "Made in NY" PaleyFest at New York's Paley Center, celebrating the third season of CBS's terrific cyber-thriller Person of Interest. Before the discussion with many of the show's cast and executive producer Jonathan Nolan, there was a screening of this week's episode (Tuesday, 10/9c) — the best of the season to date, and a fairly pivotal one — that is especially enjoyable in how it showcases the series' fabulous femmes fatales. With the target du jour a chameleon Casanova, the women must act as nightclub and social-media bait: an off-duty and glammed-up Carter (Taraji P. Henson), the ferociously trigger-happy Shaw (Sarah Shahi, hilariously playing against her natural beauty) and Reese's favorite fixer, the alluring Zoe Morgan (recurring co-star Paige Turco). A CBS contact refers to them as "Finch's Angels," and if they want to spin themselves off, that would be fine by me. A scene where the three ladies of the evening compare their weaponry is a riot. So's a later scene in which Shaw reflects on her disdain for relationships. (When I asked Shahi if Shaw has a soft side, she wasted no time in barking a "No.")
Amber Kelleher-Andrews, Matt Hussey, Tracy McMillan
Way to squander a Voice lead-in, NBC. Turns out America wasn't ready to waste another night of the broadcast week on a ridiculously padded dating show, so after this week, Ready for Love (Tuesday, 9:01/8:01c) goes into reality limbo — and honestly, if scripted duds can get yanked without notice, why should lousy competition-reality shows be exempt when shunned like this one was? On the plus side, with The Voice about to end its enjoyable "battle" rounds and move next week into the "knockout" phase, the expanded Tuesday edition will be joined April 30 by the clever supernatural thriller Grimm, given a well-deserved reprieve from the Friday trenches for the rest of the season. (Part of me wishes NBC would invest more heavily in Hannibal and give it a shot in this wide-open Tuesday time period, but Grimm is probably a better fit.)

Antony Starr
Things get awfully bloody on Friday with the explosive first-season finale of Cinemax's violent noir Banshee (10/9c), in which shootouts and long-simmering feuds leave such a gory trail that it almost puts to shame a new episode of Starz' reliably visceral Spartacus: War of the Damned (9/8c)."I must admit, you have an admirable knack for survival," understates the lethal ... read more
ESPN's 30 For 30
Long before the cases of Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds and Marion Jones engendered public indifference about performance-enhancing drugs, steroids were a dirty little secret of the sports world. Suspicions were prevalent in Olympic circles, but rarely discussed above a whisper. That changed in 1988 when Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was busted for the anabolic steroid stanozolol days after winning the gold medal and setting a world record in the 100-meter dash at the Seoul Olympics. His spectacular rise to the top of his sport and his cataclysmic fall are chronicled in 9.79*, this week's entry in ESPN's Emmy-nominated documentary series 30 for 30 (Tuesdays, 8/7c).
Dancing With The Stars
Dancing with the Stars8/7c ABC Many had predicted that high-scoring Audrina Patridge would make it all the way to the elite Final 3 this season. However, last week one of this show's "shocking exits" occurred, leaving the judges stunned and Audrina out in the cold. Will this week's eliminated star be another early favorite following in her footsteps? But before anyone exits, Taylor Swift and Rod Stewart both make return appearances to the show's stage, and the cast of Broadway's Mary Poppins does a tap-dance number. — Jennifer SankowskiRead on for previews of Biggest Loser, 30 for 30, Mysteries at the Museum, America's Election Headquarters: The 2010 Midterms, Kathy Griffin: Whores on Crutches and Running Russell Simmons. read more
Marion Jones
America loves a comeback story and few can compete with the tumultuous rise, fall and return of Marion Jones. Once a media darling, the disgraced Olympic sprinter lost the five medals she won at the 2000 Summer Games after admitting she used performance-enhancing drugs. When Jones had previously lied about that to federal investigators (as well as her role in a check-fraud case), she was sentenced to six months in prison. After a difficult incarceration that included a demoralizing seven-week stint in solitary confinement, she was ... read more
Glee8/7c Fox It's Halloween. What's a Gleek to do? Let's put on The Rocky Horror Picture Show! The reason that New Directions is putting its spin on the 1975 cult classic (at least according to the plot) is that Emma's a big fan and Will wants to impress Emma, so... it's time for "Time Warp." That's Kurt underneath the bald Riff-Raff wig, by the way. Movie alums Barry Bostwick and Meat Loaf are in the guest cast, playing station managers at the TV station where Sue Sylvester hurls her "As Sue Sees It" darts. And, yes, Sue's scheming to stop the show. — Paul DroeschRead on for previews of Stargate Universe, 30 for 30, NBA Basketball, Nova, Dance Cam Slam, Auction Kings. read more
No Ordinary Family
No Ordinary Family8/7c ABC For the last few weeks, JJ's super brain has been a secret to his parents, and mostly used for academic pursuits (or learning Hebrew to impress a girl). But can it help him succeed at sports? Tonight he goes out for the football team by using the X's and O's as variables in math equations, but the undersized JJ finds out the hard way that the game is more than just physics: It's physical. Meanwhile, a case of mistaken identity makes Jim look like the culprit of a crime he's trying to prevent. — Joe FriedrichRead on for previews of Millionaire Matchmaker, Parenthood, 30 for 30, Scream 2010, Frontline and Mad Mel: The Rise and Fall of a Hollywood Icon. read more
The Biggest Loser
Biggest Loser8/7c NBC Tennis star Anna Kournikova hits the court with the contestants tonight to lead a full-body workout before the group members are surprised with a tennis-ball pop challenge. Off the court, the players have plenty of drama to deal with after one contestant confesses to wanting to leave the ranch, and another is singled out by Bob during a grueling workout. — Brie HearnRead on for previews of 30 for 30, Life Unexpected, Caprica, POV, Dancing with the Stars and Sons of Anarchy. read more

Remove Images Traffic technology reaches Forsyth County Colorful tubes serve to better monitor traffic conditions February 04, 2013 The colorful tubes being installed on Ga. 400 will provide more accurate traffic information through Forsyth County.
ALDO NAHED. ALDO NAHED. ALDO NAHED. The "colorful tubes" are the housing protection for cable and wires on Ga. 400 that will extend our automated traffic management system (ATMS) and intelligent traffic system (ITS), said Teri Pope, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Transportation. The $1.6 million project has a completion date of July 31 and the contract extends ATMS and ITS computer technology that shares real-time data about what is happening on the roadways. The components are being installed from McFarland Parkway to Ga. 20 (Buford Highway), or about 7.7 miles. "So it will extend the 511/Navigator system to Ga. 20 with cameras on the Web so you can see traffic, get trip times along the corridor," Pope said. "Technology uses several types of cameras and sensors to gather information that is shared on our website, through our app and to the media." The work includes six cameras on Ga. 400 — three northbound and three southbound — plus video detection cameras at the McFarland and Ga. 20 ramps to and from Ga. 400. "The video detection cameras will replace existing sensors in the roadway that tell the traffic signal at the ramps when a car is waiting and where it is waiting so the signal can do what that vehicle needs," Pope said. "The sensors aren't very reliable; they get damaged in crashes and have to be replaced frequently." The video detection is the next level of technology, she said. It looks over the intersections and when a car is stopped waiting to turn left, the camera notices and triggers the left turn arrow. The cameras are much more reliable than the sensors and have little maintenance, Pope said. "We are switching to video detection as our budget allows," Pope said. This also allows Atlanta-based television stations to use the camera views during their newscasts, so this upgrade will allow more real-time traffic information to be shared easily with Ga. 400 motorists. John Cunard, the Forsyth County director of engineering, added that the project also includes fiber optic communications cable, cameras, radar detection and changeable message signs. Ramp meters will be installed on the northbound and southbound ramps at Ga. 141 (Peachtree Parkway) and the southbound ramp at Ga. 20. An underground fiber optic trunk line is being installed on the shoulder of northbound and southbound lanes. The contract is with World Fiber Technologies, of Marietta. Once completed, motorists will be able to access real-time, statewide, route-specific information on accidents, road work, traffic and weather conditions through Georgia 511 — a free phone service. By dialing 511, callers also can transfer to operators 24 hours a day to report incidents or request assistance. The 511 service is also available online at www.511ga.org. |

International Left Handers Day 2014
Left Handers Day 2014 theme is "_______________________".
Facts about Lefthanders
- Being left-handed is more often than not treated as a disability and often the left-handed person is blamed for its occurrence.
- Being left-handed is not the fault of the person who is a left-hander.
- However, all manual devices from a pair of scissors to an automobile are made for the use of right-handed people.
- Thus, left-handers have to make their own adjustments if they are to survive in a right-hander dominated world.
- It has been estimated that a mere 7% to 10% of the World's population is left-handed.
A Special Day
- Among all this domination by the right-handers of the world, there is a special day for left-handers called the International Left-handers Day.
- The 13th of August each year is designated as International Left-handers day.
- On this day, left-handers of the world get together as one to celebrate their difference and address their situation and the difficulties which they face.
- International Left-handers Day was first celebrated in 1976, by its founder, Dean R Campbell whose birthday also happens to be on this day.
How International Lefthanders Day is Celebrated
- Today International Left-handers Day is celebrated all over the world. It is marked with gatherings of left-handed people.
- Several activities are organized on this day, featuring left-handed people.
- The day is abundant with left-handed gadgets, books and tools. There are presentations by left-handers about left-handers.
- The difficulties of left-handers are highlighted and left-handed people come forward and share their experiences and also tell people how they overcome the problems of being a left-hander.
Why International Lefthanders Day is Celebrated
- The main objective of International Left-handers Day is to create awareness about lefthanders. It is interesting to note how many world-famous left-handers we have. Just to name a few Presidents; Gerald Ford, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton and, yes, even Barack Obama.
- Other famous left-handed people include Prince Charles, H.G. Wells, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Michelangelo, Amitabh Bachchan, Charlie Chaplin, Tom Cruise, Alan Border and John McEnroe. The actual list of famous lefthanders would however fill several pages.
Therefore, it is important for everyone to realize that being left-handed is not a handicap. Children should not be discouraged from being a left-hander, as they may have even more difficulty coping with their right hands if they are after all, naturally left-handed. It is this day, the International Left-handers Day which brings all left-handers into the limelight, in an effort for the right-handed world to understand left-handers in a better light, and having done so, to support their situation to make their survival an easier task.

The Believer
A God-obsessed mother gone mad. A once-devout father turned cynical. The only thing as challenging as growing up in a faith-fractured home is carrying your devotion into adulthood. Especially if you happen to be Mormon.
Unlike Nathan and his family, we weren't heading for uncharted territory. The first Saints arrived in Denver in 1897, back when it was front-page news. "Mormons Are in Denver.... Genuine Latter Day Saints." That was the headline in the Rocky Mountain News. Today there are over 50,000 Latter-day Saints in the Denver metro area. It is a thriving community, and my wife and I gladly joined it. By this point I had taken a proprietary interest in the doctrine of Jesus Christ's Atonement, the possibility, that is, of at-one-ment. I'd begun to see my religion, with its emphasis on serving others and emulating Christ, not as a simple means of being but as a rather long becoming. I embraced the experience most commonly called "conversion." To the skeptic, of course, this can only be called nonsense, a particularly contagious brand of wishful thinking. I understand this view, though I cannot agree with it. Neither, however, can I adequately refute it. Though it may seem a cop-out, language cannot really explain the experience, because the experience depends precisely on the absence of language. It is the product, as St. Augustine once put it, of "what the truth saith inwardly without noise of words."
This is all very strange to at least half of my friends, the almost uniformly agnostic group of intellectuals, editors, and writers with whom I associate on days other than Sunday. It was with some measure of exasperation that one of them recently turned to me and said, referring to Joseph Smith's early visions: "I mean, come on!" Usually, they politely accept my faith as a belief in some sort of fairy tale, even if it's one I should have outgrown long ago. Increasingly, however, I have been asked to justify my beliefs, to explain how a semi-intelligent person can buy any of this. Taken with the recent round of Mormon bashing, it all feels remarkably familiar, a verbatim replay of conversations, both real and imagined, with my father. Once again, I find myself straddling two divergent worlds.
A few years after Mom's disappearance, one of my junior high school teachers handed me a copy of Lost Horizon, James Hilton's exquisite story about the mystical mountain lamasery Shangri-La—a repository of truth, wisdom, and everything that will endure when all else fails. The book struck me like a revelation, my family history writ large. The main character, whom I identified with Dad, is Hugh Conway, an enigmatic castaway who must decide if he'll remain in his newfound oasis or return to the "real" world of wristwatches, wars, and decay. Conway determines that he must leave Shangri-La. Looking back from the edge of his lost horizon, he sees that "a dream has dissolved, like all too lovely things, at the first touch of reality." In a particularly pertinent moment, Conway wonders "whether he had been mad and was now sane, or had been sane for a time and was now mad."
