Brain fitness targets aging population
TORONTO -- When Marcel Wieder's aunt was diagnosed with early-onset dementia several years ago, the Toronto resident started to worry about his own brain health.
"It hit close to home," said the 52-year-old public affairs consultant.
"Generally, I think I have a pretty good memory. But I'm over 50 and there are lapses at times. I want to make sure that everything's firing on all cylinders."
In the past few years, Wieder has noticed his memory slipping a little. Friends' phone numbers, once readily at hand, have become tougher to recall.
"The question is: 'Is this within a normal range?"' Wieder said. "I don't know what the benchmarks are."
Cogniciti, a Toronto-based joint venture between Baycrest Health Sciences and the MaRS Discovery District, is hoping to answer that question with a new online memory assessment, slated to launch this fall.
The short, computer-based "brain checkup" promises to tell users whether their memory is normal for their age or whether a doctor's visit is in order. It also allows users to track their memory performance over time, so they can spot any unusual declines.
Cogniciti is seeking to ride the popularity of the "brain fitness" wave, a burgeoning new industry one market research company estimates will be worth $4 billion to $8 billion globally by 2020.
The aging population and recent developments in neuroscience have made brain health a hot topic lately, especially as the "silver tsunami" of baby boomers heads toward retirement.
Alvaro Fernandez, chief executive of California-based SharpBrains, said the brain fitness industry -- which is comprised mostly of computer-based games that promise to improve your mental abilities -- is already worth over $1 billion.
Fernandez foresees a world where people will enlist the help of "brain-fitness trainers" to sharpen their minds and athletes will be able to use tablets and smartphones to check whether they've suffered a concussion.
"The field is going to grow to be as mainstream as physical fitness is now," Fernandez said.
The Alzheimer Society of Canada estimated a staggering 1.4 million Canadians will have Alzheimer's disease and other dementias by 2031.
"People are more health-aware and keen to get the best information today, and of course the baby boomers are right at the front of that," said Dr. Larry Chambers, a scientific adviser to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
"We have more people like that now than we've ever had in society."
However, Fernandez notes there's a gap in the brain-fitness industry. While dozens of training regimens promise to improve memory and other cognitive functions, there's a lack of clinically tested assessment tools.
That's the hole Cogniciti is hoping to fill.
Cogniciti president Michael Meagher said the brain checkup his team is developing could help alleviate health-care costs by diverting healthy people away, while allowing those with Alzheimer's or dementia to identify the symptoms sooner.
"What we're producing is going to be just as useful as the home thermometer in terms of getting people to the doctor when they need it and reassuring them to stay home when they don't," Meagher said.

Depending on your home theater setup, it can be hard to squeeze out all of that natural light. However, Ellery Homestyles wants to pull the curtain on any light that's leaking into the room—literally.
The company just announced a new product offering called Absolute Zero. This new brand is Ellery's home theater curtain line, which promises stylish curtains that can deliver a complete blackout effect. Right now, the details are preliminary. Ellery had no comment about pricing or fabric choices. There's also no word on when the company plans to officially offer the line.
If you're in the New York area, Ellery Homestyles just unveiled an extra 1,000 square feet in its 17,000-square-foot showroom to accommodate some of the company's expanded product offerings. Hopefully they are setting aside some of that space for the Absolute Zero brand.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

A Q&A session with local music Legends will follow the UNA screening.
"After observing the reactions to the documentary at the Sundance festival and reading the rave reviews from music critics all over the world, it became clear that we needed to share this film with the local community at the first available opportunity," said Rodney Hall, who worked closely with the filmmakers during the four-year production process. "The George Lindsey UNA Film Festival is the perfect fit for a documentary that celebrates our area's rich musical heritage."
Tickets for the Feb. 27 event are $100 and may be purchased at muscleshoals.eventbee.com.

Dentsu's 360i enters Europe in London tie-up with Steak
The Dentsu-owned digital creative shop 360i is to launch a European office based in London.
Connolly: takes on role of managing director at 360i Europe
The agency, which employs 500 staff across five offices in North America, will partner with the Dentsu-owned search shop Steak to provide a full-service digital offering. It will run as a standalone agency based in the same building in Covent Garden.
Rob Connolly, Dentsu's former chief development officer, has been appointed as the managing director of 360i Europe. He will report to Oliver Bishop, the chief executive at Steak, who takes on the additional role of chief executive of the new agency.
360i Europe's full-service creative positioning will include an initial focus on social media due to client demand, Connolly said. Enterprise Holdings, the car-rental company that 360i works on in the US, becomes its first client.
The agency will launch this week with Connolly and four members of staff, who will move across from Steak. Employees from 360i US are also expected to transfer to London in the next six months.
Dentsu's launch of 360i in the UK follows its roll-out of the Mcgarrybowen brand in London last year.
Bryan Wiener, the chief executive of 360i and chairman of Dentsu North America, said: "Oli and Rob are a great team to expand the agency, with Rob's strength in brand marketing and Oli's in digital media."

No. 6,186,320, having a filing date of Jun. 29, 1999, which claims priority of U.S. provisional patent Application Ser. No. 60/094,768, having a filing date of Jul. 31, 1998, each pending or issued patent being incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.
This invention relates to flexible storage sleeves used to hold compact discs, digital video discs and CD ROMs which store musical, video, graphical or other types of information.
Compact discs, digital video discs and CD ROMs (hereinafter referred to as �CDS�) are used extensively to store information which can be retrieved and played back by the user. The information stored can relate to music, video, instructional materials, games and numerous other variations of data. The information is than played back on CD players, video disc recorders and players, and personal computers.
CDS are typically sold at the retail level in rigid, hard plastic cases known in the music industry as �jewel boxes�. Although protective of the sensitive playing surfaces found on the CDS, the jewel boxes are bulky, difficult to open, often crack because of the rigidity of the plastic, are expensive to manufacture and are environmentally insensitive. Thus, flexible �sleeves� have become increasingly used by consumers to replace jewel boxes, primarily in the aftermarket once consumers have purchased their CDS from the retail distributor. The flexible sleeves are commonly made from plastic type materials such as polypropylene or vinyl and are formed by placing one or more sheets of the flexible material in an overlying relationship to created one or more �pockets� to receive the CD. Additional pockets may be used to hold the graphics which accompany the CDS, or alternatively may hold another compact disc.
To protect the playing surface of the compact disc which retains the sensitive stored information, different types of materials are commonly used. These include woven fabrics such as velours and cottons, as well as non-woven fabrics such as Sontara�, Stearns�, or other materials. Unfortunately, these materials must be laminated or in some form bonded to either a backing material or in some instances another layer of non-woven material to provide sufficient structural integrity to prevent tearing after repeated use. Typically, a polypropylene or other similar type of backing material is used to provided structural support and to provide a low friction material to facilitate the insertion and removal of graphics. One such sleeve is identified in U.S. Pat. No. 4,850,731 to Youngs.
The manufacturing of storage sleeves which have dual pockets for storing two CDS or one CD and accompanying graphics has thus been limited to materials which preferably have a non-woven material with a backing sheet for support, or which is laminated to another non-woven material. In either example, a lamination process is required in the form of heat bonding, or �welding�. This lamination process is time consuming, expensive and thus undesirable for the manufacturing of CD storage sleeves. Accordingly, significant demand exists for a durable, non-woven material which has a texture capable of protecting the playing surface of CDS yet is sufficiently durable for holding CDS and/or graphics without tearing or otherwise failing after repetitive use. The material must generally be manufactured using well known sleeve manufacturing techniques to retain the cost benefits associated with known sleeve production.
It is thus one object of the present invention to provide a carrying sleeve or pocket for holding compact discs which is made from a single-sheet material which is protective of the playing surface of the CD, yet durable enough not to tear or otherwise become altered or destroyed after considerable use. Preferably the material can be used as a middle sheet between a front sheet and a back sheet to create two pockets for independently holding two CDS.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a sleeve for holding CDS which can be manufactured from a non-woven material without the use of a backing sheet or which otherwise would require laminating, bonding or other form of interconnection means between two or more sheets of material. This may include the bonding of non-woven materials to other non-woven materials or alternatively the bonding of a non-woven material to a woven material or to sheet backing materials such as plastic, vinyl or other materials known in the art.
Thus, in one aspect of the present invention a non-woven material known by the trade name of �Veratec�� is used as the non-woven sleeve material. This single sheet material is capable of being used as an independent, stand alone sheet of non-woven material which does not require any lamination or bonding to other sheets of material for durability and support. Further, the material is pliable and flexible enough to permit conventional manufacturing techniques to be used to form various designs of CD sleeves. Thus, numerous designs may be used for a variety of different CD storage requirements. These include sleeves designed for holding single CDS, multiple CDS and album type pages with a multiplicity of CD sleeves positioned on a page and adapted for interconnection to a 3-ring notebook or other similar device. In a preferred embodiment of the aforementioned design a single sheet of non-woven material is �sandwiched� between two stored CDS, thus providing a protective non-woven material for contact with the sensitive playing surfaces of each of the two CDS.
Referring now to the drawings,
The first sheet is commonly referred to as a back sheet and may be comprised of a transparent material such as plastic, vinyl or polypropylene. Alternatively, non-woven materials may be used. The third sheet, which is commonly referred to as the front sheet, may also be comprised of the same materials as used for the back sheet. The second sheet, commonly referred to as the middle sheet, is comprised of a single layer of non-woven material which is not laminated, bonded, glued or otherwise interconnected throughout its surface with any other sheet material or backing sheet. However, glues and other means known in the art may be utilized to interconnect the individual fibers of the non-woven material. Thus, in one embodiment the present invention the middle sheet is a single sheet of non-woven material having the trade name of Veratec�, and is referred to hereinafter as a single sheet non-woven material.
The single sheet non-woven material has numerous advantages over the prior art non-woven materials which are bonded or laminated to other backing materials. One major advantage is reduced manufacturing costs since one entire sheet of material is eliminated during manufacturing. This eliminated sheet is typically a backing sheet of polypropylene, vinyl or other plastic type of material. Alternatively the backing sheet may be a woven or another non-woven material which is provided for strength.
Non-woven materials previously used in sleeve designs did not have sufficient strength to prevent tearing or ripping during periods of extended use. This is essentially due to the manufacturing process utilized for these types of non-woven materials, where the fibers of the non-woven materials (typically a polypropylene fibrous material) are laid down with spinnerets onto a moving belt. The non-woven fibers are all generally oriented in the same linear orientation on the belt to form a web, at which time the fibers proceed through a roller wherein the mass is compressed into a sheet and the fibers tack bonded or welded together via small weldments through the fibrous mass. The resultant non-woven fabric has sufficient strength in one linear direction across the fibers, but is quite weak in other directions, which allows tearing during use of the sleeve.
To alleviate the tearing problem associated with the manufacturing process of typical non-woven materials, it is necessary to laminate the sheet of non-woven materials to other materials or to other sheets of non-woven materials to provide strength and durability. Unfortunately, this additional manufacturing step requires a laminating or bonding process, and additional materials which is expensive and thus increases the unit price per sleeve. Further, even when non-woven materials are bonded to other non-woven materials and not vinyl or other durable backing materials, the resultant non-woven laminated materials are not overly durable since these laminated, non-woven materials still have a tendency to tear.
The new single sheet non-woven material utilized in the present invention is manufactured in a distinct manner to produce a unique non-woven material which does not require any laminating, bonding or welding to create a durable material which is resistant to tearing yet still provides a protective surface for the CD playing surface. The single sheet non-woven material is manufactured with the spinnerets laying down a continuous polypropylene fiber (or other similar material) onto the moving belt as described above for the manufacturing of typical non-woven materials. However, the spinnerets move back and forth over the moving belt, thus permitting the fibers to be oriented diagonally to the direction of the belt, creating biaxially oriented fibers. The non-woven mat of material is then run through compression rollers where the non-woven material is tack bonded together. The resultant non-woven material has a much greater resistance to tear in the linear direction because of the random orientation of fibers, thus alleviating the need to bond the non-woven material to other backing sheet materials or other non-woven fibers. The savings in expense is substantial based on the elimination of an entire sheet of material and the laminating process associated therewith.
The foregoing description of the present invention has been presented for purpose of illustration and description. Furthermore, the description is not intended to limit the invention to the form disclosed herein. Consequently, variation and modifications commensurate with the above teachings, and the skill or knowledge of the relevant art, are within the scope of the present invention. The embodiments described hereinabove are further intended to explain best modes known for practicing the invention and to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention in such, or other embodiments and with various modifications required by the particular application or use of the present invention.

A Spearfish native is on her way to becoming a fighter pilot for the Navy.
Jessica Parrett, a 2007 Spearfish High School graduate, is expected to join the ranks of the Navy's Hornet pilots within six months.
Parrett is in flight school in Kingsville, Texas, where she flies a T-45C training jet.
She says although it's a "baby jet," it's still awfully fast. Soon, she'll be flying an F/A-18 Hornet, which hits nearly twice the speed of sound.
Parrett says she's come a long way since her days as a "girly" high schooler who dreamed of becoming a fashion designer or a model. She says her new path is quite a change, but that she's 100 percent happy with it.

Book Description:Passionate, succinct, chilling, closely argued, sometimes hilarious, touchingly well-intentioned, and essential." --Margaret Atwood, The New York Review of BooksNearly fifteen years ago, in The End of Nature, Bill McKibben demonstrated that humanity had begun to irrevocably alter and endanger our environment on a global scale. Now he turns his eye to an array of technologies that could change our relationship not with the rest of nature but with ourselves. He explores the frontiers of genetic engineering, robotics, and nanotechnology--all of which we are approaching with astonishing speed--and shows that each threatens to take us past a point of no return. We now stand, in Michael Pollan's words, "on a moral and existential threshold," poised between the human past and a post-human future. McKibben offers a celebration of what it means to be human, and a warning that we risk the loss of all meaning if we step across the threshold. Instantly acclaimed for its passion and insight, this wise and eloquent book argues that we cannot forever grow in reach and power--that we must at last learn how to say, "Enough."

Stephen Dunham was born and raised in the Boston area, the middle of three children whose father is a business consultant and mother a real estate agent. While still in high school, Dunham won the lead in Woody Allen's "Don't Drink the Water," and continued performing in plays throughout high school. He then attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theater. While there he also attended the famed Actors Studio. "Every Tuesday and Friday I got to watch actors like Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro getting chastised by our moderator, Ellen Burstyn, for not bringing enough of themselves to the work. It was surreal." Dunham spent his college summers doing improvisational comedy with Boston's On the Spot Players.
After graduation Dunham came to Los Angeles and soon landed various television commercials and guest spots. Between roles, he supported himself by working as a bartender, truck driver, rental car agent and production assistant for infomercials. "I had to quit making infomercials... it was too exciting for me," he says. "So many miracles!"
Dunham received critical acclaim for his leading role in the 1995 independent film, "Nothing Sacred." He then found a wider audience when he appeared as the American gunslinger, Henderson, in Universal's blockbuster, "The Mummy." Soon after, he won the starring role in the comedy series "Oh Grow Up," created and executive-produced by the Oscar-winning writer Alan Ball ("American Beauty", "Six Feet Under"). He was cast opposite David Alan Grier as bumbling secret service agent Edward Pillows in the NBC series "DAG." He also spent a season as Jenny Garth's boss and love interest in the WB's "What I like About You."
His film credits include working with director Steven Soderbergh in "Traffic", with Steven Spielberg in "Catch Me If You Can," and with fellow NYU classmate Adam Sandler in "Anger Management." His most recent role was as the infamous "Dr. Chamberlain," a struggling actor/waiter who pretends to be a doctor in the feature film "Monster-in-Law," starring Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez. He is next due to appear in Disney's "In the Navy."
Dunham is a newlywed who resides in Santa Monica with his wife, actress Alexondra Lee ("Party Of Five", "Special Unit 2"). In his spare time, he is active in the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the non-profit environmental organization Heal the Bay.

LeBron, Heat cap sweep over BobcatsThe Associated Press | April 29,2014AP Photo
Miamis LeBron James smiles as he walks down the court during Mondays NBA playoff game against the Charlotte Bobcats in Charlotte, N.C.CHARLOTTE, N.C. LeBron James scored 31 points, and Miami completed a first-round sweep of Charlotte with a 109-98 victory Monday. James scored 19 points after slightly injuring his thigh in the third quarter. He finished the game 10 of 19 from the field and had nine assists.
Chris Bosh added 17 points and Dwyane Wade battled through foul trouble and finished with 15 as Miami won its 20th straight game over Charlotte.
The two-time defending champion NBA champions will await the winner of Brooklyn-Toronto series, which is tied 2-2. Kemba Walker led Charlotte with 29 points.
The Bobcats played without Al Jefferson, their leading scorer and rebounder who has been bothered by a foot injury since the first quarter of Game 1.
INDIANAPOLIS Mike Scott made five 3-pointers during a 30-6 second-quarter run and Atlanta fended off a furious fourth-quarter rally to beat top-seeded Indiana and take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Atlanta can clinch the first-round series at home Thursday.
Scott scored all 17 of his points during a 12-minute stretch when Atlanta went 13 of 16 from the field and outscored Indiana 41-19 to take a 61-40 halftime lead. The Hawks and the 1970 Milwaukee Bucks are the only road teams in the shot-clock era to score at least 40 points and allow fewer than 20 in any quarter of a playoff game.

- Starring: Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, Ryan Gosling
- Summary: In this psychological thriller, a distraught young man announces to his psychiatrist that he plans to commit suicide in three days. The psychiatrist's desperate attempts to help his new patient lead him through the city on an incredible, nightmarish trip to the place between life and death. (20th Century Fox)… Expand

Negative: 8 out of 29
The ending is an explanation, but not a solution. For a solution we have to think back through the whole film, and now the visual style becomes a guide. It is an illustration of the way the materials of life can be shaped for the purposes of the moment.
Despite the actors, the visuals and Forster's directorial swagger, the movie lacks impact.
In Stay, the director, Marc Forster, fresh from "Finding Neverland," turns Manhattan into a nightmarish dreamscape and his characters into self-destructive ghosts.
An ultra-arty "The Sixth Sense" that deliberately inhibits comprehension of the story until the very end -- and arguably continues to inhibit it even then -- pic features certifiably talented people on both sides of the camera collaborating on a project that probably shouldn't have been undertaken in the first place.
There's really not much of an audience for this picture. The movie demands that its viewers put the fragmented images and information together like an intellectual jigsaw puzzle, but it never gives those viewers a good reason to do so.
It's become a tired cliché for characters in "serious" science-fiction movies not to realize they're dead or dying, but Stay as a film doesn't seem to realize that it's dead from the outset, an unconvincing automaton grimly going through the motions.
Neither thrilling nor psychological, but it's chicly shot and edited and is pretty much art-directed to death.
Score distribution:

Mixed: 2 out of 39

LindseyH.Oct 24, 2005The only thing about this movie that I find confusing is the abundance of poor reviews it has been getting. Stay is a beautiful film, with a superb cast, and an excellent storyline. There is no trickery involved, as it is quite apparent throughout the film that it is NOT taking place in reality. I found nothing pretentious about it. It was definitely arty, as are all of Marc Forster's films - he is attempting to impress the importance and influence of art in everyday life. I've seen a lot of films in my short lifetime, and in my honest opinion Stay is one of the best.… Expand
Aug 18, 2013This movie is a piece of art, It's like a dream. I have watched it several times and each time I've enjoyed it more. The acting is remarkable, especially Ryan Gosling who plays Henry. The directing is super artistic! I felt like I was in a dream when the scenes blurred into each other. The story was brilliant! The ending was so breathtaking and made me stay with the film after it was finished. This movie is so deep and some people may not enjoy or understand it completely, but for me 'Stay' is the greatest movie of all time!… Expand
geofd.Oct 28, 2005If you understand what you see. You will love this film. Well Done.
PavelRMar 28, 2009The directing, the script, the editing, the clothes, the colors...all add up to a means that makes the films more transcending than your average thriller.… Expand
NathanB.Nov 22, 2006Excellent artistic and cinematographic work. The ending is convoluted and requires a lot of thinking but if you're willing to think, you should be satisfied. On the other hand, they worked too hard to throw you off and it kind of impedes their message.… Expand
blatkakakakackSep 16, 2007Boooooo. I'm not smart enough to understand this genius film.
MalcomM.Oct 20, 2005A pretentious piece of film trying desperately to find some sense from itself, which come to think of it, should commit suicide in itself (in the real world). Heck, after watching the movie, i can barely even make sense of what I'm saying here!… Expand

Broadcom Powers First LG 5G WiFi Digital Televisions
Broadcom Corporation today announced LG Electronics has chosen Broadcom's 5G WiFi technology, based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard, for use in select 2013 LG digital TV models. By adopting Broadcom's BCM43526, LG Electronics is the first to enable consumers to seamlessly stream and share high-resolution content between mobile devices and smart TVs. Learn how Broadcom innovation is enabling the Connected Life at home, at work, and on-the-go at Broadcom@CES.
"LG is leading the market with next-generation digital TV innovations that dramatically enhance the consumer's viewing experience," said Sangyeob Lee, LG Electronics Senior Director, TV Product Planning. "By adding 5G WiFi to our flagship Smart TV platforms, our customers will experience the fastest, most reliable wireless connectivity yet. Partnering with Broadcom allows us to raise the bar and be the first company to introduce the next generation of WiFi in our Smart TV platforms."
"Last year at CES 2012, Broadcom introduced the industry's first 5G WiFi chips and committed to enabling the adoption of the technology across all wireless product segments," said Dino Bekis, Broadcom Senior Director, Product Marketing, Wireless Connectivity Combo. "Today marks yet another important milestone - the industry's first 5G WiFi Smart TV. We're thrilled to partner with LG to further expand the ecosystem of 5G WiFi products available to consumers and continue to drive rapid adoption of the technology."
The increased reliance on wireless networks, the explosion of video consumption and the growing number of wireless devices are all putting stress on legacy 802.11a/b/g/n networks. As a result, consumers are prone to experience deteriorated performance such as choppy videos and slower load times, especially when streaming content from the cloud, smartphone or tablet to a digital TV. 5G WiFi dramatically improves home wireless range, providing higher-capacity video streaming, the ability to connect multiple devices to the network at the same time and broader coverage with fewer dead spots. It also reduces power consumption by up to 83 percent[1] in mobile devices, so consumers can go longer without having to plug in.
The average U.S. household has nearly 4.8 devices connected to the network[2]. Yet, sharing content between these devices can be complicated - and sometimes impossible. Wi-Fi Certified Miracast addresses this issue by allowing users to easily stream content wirelessly between devices. By incorporating the BCM43526 and Wi-Fi Certified Miracast into its newest digital TV products, LG Electronics is ensuring consumers enjoy fast, reliable connectivity between multiple devices in multiple places throughout the home.

As Avon Products clings to a multi-year low, one bull is placing
a cautious bet.
optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker monitoring system detected the purchase
of 1,200 October 18 calls for $0.46. Equal-sized blocks were sold
in the October 14 puts for $0.75 and bought in the October 12 puts
for $0.29, resulting in a net cost of about zero.
The strategy earns income with a put credit spread and uses that
money to buy calls. It will earn infinite profits if the cosmetics
company rallies, and face a maximum loss of $2 if it drops to $12.
The stock hasn't traded below $14 since 2000, so they may consider
that risk small.
AVP is off 0.42 percent to $15.47 in afternoon trading. The company
has lost more than 40 percent of its value in the last year amid
chaos in the boardroom and as it struggles to defend market share.
Today's bullish trade is specially tailed for a company such as
AVP, which could rebound after such a big selloff. But, if the
situation worsens, it could have much more downside. (See our
section for more ways that calls and puts can be combined to create
positions that are safer than owning stock.)
The bullish trade accounted for almost all the options activity in
the name so far today.

About Lee Passios
I live in Connecticut with my 2 children..11 and 16.
Lee Passios purchased this condo in 2011
Why Lee Passios chose East End
There is something very special about Sapphire beach. Within 4 months of my first visit to sapphire i was back down buying a unit in building E
What makes this condo unique
I go down every 4/5 months and make sure the condo is up to my standards. It is very important to me that this feels like 'home' to my guests.
Guestbook comments from the owner
In response to this 1 bad review after 3 years of renting, my belief is that this couple are miserable to begin with. They stayed 2 hours. They never gave Sapphire a chance, and experienced its TRUE beauty. When they arrived there were keys in the door and the cleaning lady was next store. If they had bothered to bring a copy of their contract which contains all the pertinent information, they would have know this. I never pretended to be the Ritz- Carlton. This is a quiet waterfront condo that has its own security staff. The water is pristine with a thriving reef in front. Sapphire is a very special place. I am not sure what these renters standards are?! I am down there every 4 to 6 months. I bring quality towels, linens, knives etc. Just read all my past reviews and you will see how awesome Sapphire really is. Sincerely, Lee the owner
