The new Puma x Alexander McQueen collection shows very well how technology and fashion can meet and create something special. The collection is in a way very subtle and hides all it's great features, especially in terms of design. The Puma logo stripe is almost not there. Also they use colors, that you do not see on every sneaker around and the striped going across are also very fresh and special. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the collection looks like. Via Honeyee.

BB-1-Rider Blade Blocker for riding mowers
BB-1-Rider Blade Blocker for riding mowers
Patent #6874309
The first and only discharge baffle designed to maintain compliance by operating in conjunction with the factory installed discharge shield on your mower.
With Blade Blocker on your mower you can quickly open and close the baffle from your seat. Just think, no more blowing grass clippings off of mulched areas or vehicles. Your properties will look much better the first time you use Blade Blocker, and your labor to clean up will be considerably reduced! Best of all your customers will not complain about grass clippings in freshly mulched areas. The unique design incorporates a multitude of features that provide versatility and adjustability. Blade Blocker installs on practically any "zero turn" or "stand on" mower.
Walk behind version available
|Baffle in the lowered (closed position) blocks the discharge opening. Discharge shield is shown raised for illustration purposes only. One half inch thick HDPE (high density polyethylene) is used for the baffle. Although practically indestructable, it is easily cut with a hack saw to custom fit your mower's discharge opening.
|A small notch in the discharge deflector is the only modification required on most mowers. the baffle can then be opperated without any effect on the deflector.
|Linkage adjustments allow the baffle to be set from an almost fully closed position to a fully open setting, or anywhere between. This allows the baffle to open parallel with the discharge shield when the baffle is in the raised position without lifting the shield. High quality linkage assembly compensates for missalignment and assures tight "no play" connections.
|With the discharge chute raised the Blade Blocker baffle can be flipped into a fully vertical position when transporting the mower on a trailer.
A unique feature of the baffle material is that it can be heat formed to match a curved portion of the mower's discharge opening if required. To shape the baffle, use a heat source such as a heat gun, to heat the area which needs to be formed. After heating the baffle, it can then be formed to the required shape. Following cool down, the baffle will retain its formed shape.

Note: Discharge chute in photos is shown in the raised position for illustration purposes only. The pictures above are illustrations ONLY. Discharge chutes will need to be notched for proper operation.
Blade Blocker is designed to operate in conjunction with the discharge deflector shield on the mower.
Blade Blocker is not intended to be used as a mulching plate or in the place of the discharge shield. Its purpose is to temporarily block the discharge opening in order to prevent large volumes of grass clippings from being discharged onto areas where they are not desired.

Osho continues:
"The master is not a person, the master is a presence. How can you have a relationship with a presence? Either you see it and you dissolve into it, or you don't see it.
"But there is no possibility of any relationship. There has never been a relationship between the master and the disciple; the word relationship is irrelevant there. It may appear so to the outsider, but the outsider is not in the know of things. The outsider cannot be relied upon, just because he is the outsider – he does not know things as they really are in the inside.
"A disciple knows no relationship with the master, he is simply one with the master. And how can a master know any relationship with the disciple? He is not, he has disappeared – that's why he is a master. A master is not a person, but a presence. And you cannot be related to a presence. The moment you recognize the presence you are dissolved. You merge, you melt, you disappear.
"A master is a door, a master is a gesture of the unknown, a master is a beckoning light – but not a person at all. An open door, a voice calling from the wilderness, a provocation, a seduction into the divine, an invitation – but not a person at all.
"So the first thing to be understood is: the master-disciple 'relationship' is a misnomer. It really appears so from the outside, because of course you see the master and the disciple. And naturally they are together, so they must be related. But it is not togetherness. It is not union, it is unity; they are no more two in their inner beings.
"The second thing: you are not supposed to surrender to the master. If you do it, it will be a conditioning and you will miss the whole point. Surrender happens; you find yourself surrendering. The moment you find a presence of the divine on the earth, a presence of the unknown in the body – when you look into the eyes of a master and you see the open door – surrender happens. It is not that you do it; if you do it you have missed it. A surrender done is not a surrender at all. Then it is a mind thing; then the mind is conditioned by your doing.
"Who is this doer? Mind is the doer."

Microsoft updates WP7 Connector for Mac with improved setup, bug fixes
Microsoft has released an update for Windows Phone 7 Connector, the still-in-beta OS X application that works with iPhoto and iTunes to allow you to sync your DRM-free multimedia with Microsoft's 'wares.
According to Pocket-lint, the latest release features a new setup process, the ability to manually retrieve files from your WP7 device, and it also allows you to sync device-purchased content back to your Mac. These new features are also joined by several bug fixes and can be downloaded directly from Microsoft.
While no one at the TUAW HQ wishes a Windows phone on anyone, we are at least glad that Microsoft is committed to cross-platform interoperability.

Blizzard, hire this guy for fucks sake!
"The sword is mightier than the pen, and considerably easier to kill with."

OP, you made me sad because I want those all so badly and they're likely never gonna happen.
Awesome sig by Elyaan is awesome.
While they do look quite good, I think Blizz should just limit themselves to the sub races that don't require new models, only texture changes. I can really only think of a few races that would actually get something.
Human - None
Dwarf - Dark Iron/Wildhammer
Night Elf - None
Gnome - None
Draenei - None
Worgen - None
Orc - Mag'har/Dragonmaw (maybe. They probably sided with Zaela and Garrosh)
Undead - None
Troll - Forest Troll
Tauren - Grimtotem
Blood Elf - None, as high elves are alliance oriented
Goblin - None
Panda - None
Mag'har/Dragonmaw could be excusable as members of those subraces who joined the rebellion. Mag'har could also be further justified as Frostwolves from the Alternate Draenor who join the Horde in our timeline, crossing the Dark Portal. Undead could have skeletal models a la the Northrend skeletons, who already have multiple equipment slots and can be mildly customized. Goblins could get gilblins; unlikely but it'd be pretty hiliarious.
Awesome sig by Elyaan is awesome.
Leper Gnomes look pretty sweet.

Blood Elf - Undead Elf
Goblin - Gilgoblin
Pandaren - Furbolg
The new box art for Blizzard's upcoming game; Overwatch!
Sub-race models are probably not going to happen. Sub-race skins however are more likely and I think better. I would be a Dark Iron Dwarf in a heartbeat. Or a Grimtotem.

Highbourne looks exactly the same as average NE in lore. They could not be sub race. If you wanna play Highbourne then just play NE mage.
Any chance of getting an undead skin on the various races? forsaken dwarf would be sweet (though lorewise not likely at all)

HIghborne are usually depicted with white skin and silver hair, in the days of Queen Azshara this was a sign of high social standing, after the rise of druidism, it blended into the population and is no longer a sign of your social caste.

Integrate workflow management software into your systemsThe user-friendly options available in workflow mapping software make using a workflow management tool easy and accessible for any business now. Small to medium and large-size companies can eliminate the long meetings with HR departments and managers in favor of desktop software that can operate your entire workflow processes.
Go online for a web-based workflow programFor many of the newer online programs you don't even have to download any special software to your systems if you choose to engage a web-based workflow management tool. These operations typically allow you a trial period, which you should take advantage of as well. With many of the web workflow management tool programs, you can even let the providers host your site so little is required of your IT team to implement the system.
Get your team using workflow management softwareOnce you've opened up the possibilities of running your business with the assistance of workflow management systems, you need to get your team on-board with the programs. Instead of calling on consultants to handle projects, your managers should be able to use their own desktops to display reports and manage marketing projects.
- Before choosing workflow software, let your key employees try the free demos to see if they agree on the choice of programs. It will be easier to get buy-in from your staff if everyone participates in the final decision.

The Panthers took care of their first order of offseason business Tuesday, signing coach Ron Rivera to a three-year contract extension that could keep "Riverboat Ron" in Charlotte through the 2017 season.
Rivera, 52, guided the Panthers to a 12-win season, the NFC South title and their first playoff berth in five years in 2013. He was entering the final year of a four-year contract and faced the prospect of lame-duck status.
According to a league source, Rivera will make between $4 million and $5 million a year, which is in line with the deal former Wake Forest coach Jim Caldwell received to become Detroit's coach.
When he did not renew former coach John Fox's contract after the 2-14 finish in 2010, Panthers owner Jerry Richardson cited Fox's inability to post consecutive winning seasons as the reason – something no coach has done in the team's 19-year history.
The Panthers have trended upward under Rivera, from 6-10 his first season, to 7-9 in 2011 to the 12-4 mark record in '13.
"The improvement of our team has been reflected in the progress of the record over the last three seasons under Ron and we look forward to building upon that foundation," Panthers owner Jerry Richardson said in a statement released by the team.
The extension for Rivera, named the league's Coach of the Year by two organizations, is no surprise. The only question was whether it would be an incentive-laden deal like the one New York Jets coach Rex Ryan received.
A Panthers spokesman said Rivera's extension is straightforward, with no clauses that would make it void before 2017.
Rivera's job security was in question at the end of last season, when he was retained but three of his assistantswere fired. Rivera was thought to be on the hot seat again this season after the Panthers started 0-2 following close losses to Seattle and Buffalo.
After a loss at Arizona dropped the Panthers to 1-3, Rivera became more aggressive in his fourth-down philosophy, earning the "Riverboat" nickname, and his team gained confidence with victories against some lower-tier teams. The Panthers won 11 of their final 12 games, before falling to San Francisco 23-10 in a divisional-round, playoff game in Charlotte on Jan. 12.
During an end-of-season press conference, general manager Dave Gettleman said he had the "ultimate faith" in Rivera, one of the favorites for the Associated Press' Coach of the Year award.
"The team has shown improvement under Ron each year and he is deserving of the recognition that he has received for the 2013 season," said Gettleman, hired two years after Rivera's arrival. "We are pleased and excited with the continuity this extension brings."
Rivera's extension came together quickly. As the Observer reported, the Panthers reached out to Rivera to begin contract talks last weekend while he was in Hawaii coaching the Pro Bowl.
By the time Rivera returned to his office Tuesday, the deal was in place and awaiting his signature.
"I have been very clear about how much I have enjoyed living in Charlotte and working for this organization," Rivera said in the statement. "I very much appreciate the support and confidence Mr. Richardson and Dave Gettleman have shown in me and our staff. Any success we have enjoyed is the result of a team effort by players, coaches, scouts and the entire organization, and our ultimate goal remains winning the Super Bowl."
Rivera, whose original deal was worth $11.2 million over four seasons, said recently he expects all of his assistant coaches to return next season.
Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said Rivera's extension is important for a team looking to build on this season's success.
"I think it's huge. If he coaches the rest of his contract that puts him here for seven years. In this league, that's great longevity," Olsen said. "I think what he's demonstrated the last few years, taking over a two-win team and turning it into a 12-win team in three years, that's solid."
"Players love him," Olsen added. "I think it was a no-brainer if you ask the players."
Olsen said Rivera's NFL background – he played nine seasons and worked his way up the coaching ranks – gives him respect in the locker room. Olsen said Rivera also is a good listener who is open to input from players, but makes it clear he is still in charge.
"Continuity in this league is hard to find," Olsen said. "When you have something good and something guys believe in … that's the key. And a lot of that starts with the coaches and their philosophy. I think that's part of the reason for extending him, and we'll see where it goes."

This restored 35mm print, now in art theaters around the country, may be 37 years old, but it is the best foreign film of the year.
A movie you cannot turn away from; it is so pitiless and uncompromising, so filled with pathos and disregarded innocence, that it is a record of those things we pray to be delivered from.
What a lovely film this is, so gentle and whimsical, so simple and profound.
Am I acting as an advocate in this review? Yes, I am. I believe that to be "impartial" and "balanced" on global warming means one must take a position like Gore's. There is no other view that can be defended.
It brings the fantastic into our everyday lives; it delights in showing us the reaction of the man on the street to Superman's latest stunt.
Unlike "Saving Private Ryan" and other dramatizations based on D-Day, Overlord is an intimate film, one that focuses closely on Tom Beddoes (Brian Stirner), who enters the British army, goes through basic training and is one of the first ashore on D-Day. (Reviewed in 2004)
Bahrani, as director, not only stays out of the way of the simplicity of his story, but relies on it; less is more, and with restraint he finds a grimy eloquence.
The Queen is a spellbinding story of opposed passions -- of Elizabeth's icy resolve to keep the royal family separate and aloof from the death of the divorced Diana, who was legally no longer a royal, and of Blair's correct reading of the public mood.
It is intriguing to wonder what Scorsese saw in the Hong Kong movie that inspired him to make the second remake of his career (after "Cape Fear"). I think he instantly recognized that this story, at a buried level, brought two sides of his art and psyche into equal focus.
I am not British, was born 14 years before the subjects, and yet by now identify intensely with them, because some kinds of human experience -- teenage, work, marriage, illness are universal. You could make this series in any society.
Kristen Dunst is pitch-perfect in the title role.
Eastwood's two-film project is one of the most visionary of all efforts to depict the reality and meaning of battle.
Very nice. I like Borat very much. I think it is, as everybody has been saying, the funniest movie in years.
It is refreshing to see Cruz acting in the culture and language that is her own. As it did with Sophia Loren in the 1950s, Hollywood has tried to force Cruz into a series of show-biz categories, when she is obviously most at home playing a woman like the ones she knew, grew up with, could have become.
This movie is NEW from the get-go. It could be your first Bond. In fact, it was the first Bond; it was Ian Fleming's first 007 novel, and he was still discovering who the character was.
A powerful but quiet film, constructed of hidden thoughts and secret desires.
The performances are crucial, because all of these characters have so completely internalized their world that they make it palpable, and themselves utterly convincing.
One of the greatest of all fantasy films.
This is a dark, dark, dark film, focused on an obsession so complete and lonely it shuts out all other human experience. You may not savor it, but you will not stop watching it, in horror and fascination.
Its most impressive accomplishment is to gather a bewildering labyrinth of facts and suspicions over a period of years, and make the journey through this maze frightening and suspenseful.
It probably is unforgivably bourgeois to admire a film because of its locations, but in the case of The Last Emperor the narrative cannot be separated from the awesome presence of the Forbidden City, and from Bertolucci's astonishing use of locations, authentic costumes and thousands of extras to create the everyday reality of this strange little boy.
A Bronx Tale is a very funny movie sometimes, and very touching at other times. It is filled with life and colorful characters and great lines of dialogue, and De Niro, in his debut as a director, finds the right notes as he moves from laughter to anger to tears. What's important about the film is that it's about values.
One of the most remarkable and haunting documentaries ever made.
In a time when our cities are wounded, movies like Grand Canyon can help to heal.
An Officer and a Gentleman is the best movie about love that I've seen in a long time.
As he is played by Gene Hackman in The Conversation, an expert wiretapper named Harry Caul is one of the most affecting and tragic characters in the movies.
Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is one of the great emotional experiences of our time.
Anyone who could read Munro's original story and think they could make a film of it, and then make a great film, deserves a certain awe.
Drugstore Cowboy is one of the best films in the long tradition of American outlaw road movies - a tradition that includes "Bonnie and Clyde," "Easy Rider," "Midnight Cowboy" and "Badlands."
This is, first of all, an electrifying and poignant love story....And it is also one hell of a thriller.

It just struck me: here's maybe the 2nd BEST reason for silver price manipulation and them "big boyz" knocking it down regularlySubmitted by Cyril on Sun, 02/17/2013 - 04:44
We all know what gold is:
probably the only half a dozen millenniums old, well alive and kicking, form of real money. I do not think this is going to change any time soon - with or without silver, or Bitcoins, or whatever else around, too.
Now, I have been thinking recently on what could be among the plausible reasons for the recurring silver price manipulation by "the big boyz"; especially since the start of the 2007/2008 U.S. economy crisis (which really had started to hit hard as early as with the 2000 bubble, actually, as the Gold/DJIA ratio shows).
Besides the obvious rationale one can figure about re: discouraging the silver stackers or avoiding to attract the attention of other types of investors, it just struck me that another significant parameter could possibly be ... the Gold/Silver ratio itself.
Indeed, ever since the 80s, gold, as compared to the U.S. fiat dollar, has definitely been on a sustained, practically unstoppable rise - with only very short pauses in that rising. That's the obvious factual evidence (i.e., and first and foremost, consequence) of the (as thorough) sustained debasement of the U.S. currency.
But what about silver? How come some big players on the precious metals markets seem so serious, timely, and thorough about carrying more or less covert silver price manipulations shortly before or after significant moves of gold per se?
What I am thinking of is that, especially since 2007/2008, those "big boyz" have the best interests in keeping the Gold/Silver ratio AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE to prevent - by all possible means, that one included - the sending of a strong signal to all the by-now-serious silver holders and new stackers ... to dump and convert a part of their silver stack into gold.
My speculation is if such a signal would be caught and the clue it gives be followed "en masse", it would still not affect silver very significantly, I think (as more people would notice and start jumping on it, their turn - providing support for the price of silver) ... WHILE IT WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY SEND GOLD'S PRICE TO OUTER SPACE, at the same time !
Without further ado, here is the Gold/Silver ratio evolution over time:
Period: 1973-2013
Low: 14.01 / High: 100.82
Delta (on period): + 34.68 % ("big boyz" feel okay: gold too expensive in silver)
Closing (today): 53.90
Period: 1993-2013
Low: 32.00 / High: 92.07
Delta (on period): - 39.51 % ("big boyz" pissed off: gold becomes more affordable in silver)
Closing (today): 53.90
Period: 1998-2013
Low: 32.00 / High: 83.86
Delta (on period): + 28.15 % ("big boyz" feel okay...)
Closing (today): 53.90
Period: 2003-2013
Low: 32.00 / High: 83.86
Delta (on period): - 30.22 % ("big boyz" pissed off...)
Closing (today): 53.90
Period: 2008-2013
Low: 32.00 / High: 83.86
Delta (on period): + 2.02 % ("big boyz" feel okay...)
Closing (today): 53.90

My thought is always that the stock brokers earn money no matter which way things go, as long as lots of people are buying/selling and they are paid by transaction. Choppy is good for them.
Retail trading via the Internet - well that takes some business out of their hands, and puts it into the hands of more people. That has both plusses and minuses when it comes to herd mentality and action.
I'm at the point where I don't want to be in the market at all, until this is re-stabilized.
That is to say, yes, I want metals, because they are stabile as everything moves around them, but that doesn't mean people won't be forced to sell their metals to pay margin calls, or to live on when they lose everything else, so it's only part of the solution and timing is everything.

Struck like a meteor out of the clear blue sky!
We are eliminating limits on our debt ceiling. We refuse to fix our leaky roof. We may as well remove our roof. "The sky's the limit!" That will become our mantra. It seems quite natural that we should be bombarded with celestial objects.
As we paper the universe with our Dollar, is it any surprise that celestial objects are being cast our way? Discarded as they cease to be of any use to those receiving our Dollars. Those above us buy whatever suits them, do they not? We get their hand-me-downs. Their goodwill. Their discards.
Seems it has always been the case.

Sounds plausible. My theory
Sounds plausible. My theory is much simpler they are manipulating the price down so they can buy it up as a hedge on the sly. They know when things let lose it will likely go to the moon and surpass gold. It is their quiet secret little hedge.
Anyone have any clues as to how much silver the big boys are buying on the sly?
End The Fat
70 pounds lost and counting! Get in shape for the revolution!
To the Moon? A figure of speech, you say?
Stanley Kubrick & his film crew are the only folks I suspect ever made a stopover there. That was just a quick stop to pick up some fresh vittles & provisions.
The price manipulation down is the master's thesis written by Robert Rubin, before ascending to the Secretary of Treasury (the banker boy signing our cash). The witnessed (signed promissory note on the right) our National Debt mimic the "Jumping Frauds of Congress' Counts."
Weak Dollar, Strong Dollar. US strong dollar policy not strong enough. American Spectator
By EMIL W. HENRY, JR. on Apr 11, 2012
The Obama administration says it supports a strong dollar, but its major fiscal initiatives suggest otherwise...
The current strong dollar policy originated with Treasury Secretary Bob Rubin in 1995. There was logic for the policy at that time amidst a declining U.S. currency. Afterward, in the latter 1990s, a strengthening dollar coincided with a period of growth and prosperity.[Measure in nominal "elastic Fed Reserve Note" dollars. Promises, promise... A promissory note.]
After Secretary Rubin's tenure, every Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve Chairman has supported the goal of a strong dollar. [In figures of speech.] But not all have been comfortable with the underlying policy. For example, Paul O'Neill simultaneously supported a strong dollar while calling the underlying policy "vacuous" because "it implies in it that somehow we have the ability to manage the relationship between the value of the U.S. dollar and other currencies".
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and fellow Board members famously "cringed" at Rubin's frequent mention of his strong dollar policy calling it "nonintellectual." Greenspan later conceded that the policy had value in immobilizing the press via Rubin's constant repetition of the strong dollar mantra...
All administrations, Democrat and Republican, now proclaim allegiance to a strong dollar, yet because of the policy's absence of teeth, they can do so while pursuing wildly divergent fiscal initiatives ostensibly in pursuit of the same goal. Consider the disconnect of word and deed in the current administration: Tim Geithner and the President have both claimed support for a strong dollar yet pursued such weak dollar strategies as debt-financed deficit spending, ignoring entitlement reform...

The Tuscany region
Tuscany is a charming land, blessed by the genius of man and nature.
With its magnificent hilly landscapes spreading up from the mountains to the seaside and its historical and archaeological sites, it is one of Italy's most famous regions.
There is also a secret side of Tuscany that includes plenty of medieval hamlets and castles perched on hill-tops or dug out of rocky cliffs that were once the stage for harsh conflicts between local landlords.
Each spot is a gem in its own right, not only for the countryside but also for the knowledge of the history of the land and the people living there.
It can also represent a wonderful haven if you are looking for a place to unwind.
Casciano is conveniently located. Some of the most famous sightseeing spots in Tuscany are very closeby: Siena (20' drive), Florence and Arezzo (1hr drive), San Gimignano, Pienza and Montepulciano (40' drive).
A lot of famous sites in the southern Tuscany, including the beautiful white sandy beaches of Maremma, the Natural Park of Uccellina, the Mount Amiata and the Elba Island, can be easily reached from Casciano.
We will be glad to provide the Casabella's guests with some useful information about the tourist areas they are interested in.
The nearby medieval walled village of Murlo is very charming and includes a couple of good restaurants qirh stunning views over the hills, as well as a very nice Etruscan museum.
Casciano di Murlo is a smaller village situated near the Natural Reserve of the low-Merse.
This Reserve was founded in 1996 in order to preserve a rare and uncontaminated ecosystem. It spreads up in a wide area that joins the stream Merse's and the stream Farma's valleys, half way between the "Metallifere" hills and the Maremma's woods.
The guests can also enjoy the ancient sulfureous spring waters of Petriolo, situated in the gorgeous stream Farma's valley, are only 10 minutes away from Casciano. A SPA with all amenities has recently been built by these charming spring waters (www.termepetriolo.it ), an ideal place for relaxing.
The rich, unspoilt natural habitat includes a large number of animals like the otter or the coyput, as well as a great variety of arboreous sorts like the mountain beech which have become very rare in other areas of Italy.
ideal for hiking and walking. Tennis and horse riding in the surroundings.

"Great Holiday!"
We had a really great two weeks at Casa Casciano. The accommodation was very adequate and clean with everything we needed. Marcello & his wife were very welcoming and helpful. The garden and swimming pool were a delight. Plenty of shady areas to sit and read and a big pool to enjoy. We did share the pool with the owners and on some occasions their friends but for us this wasn't a problem. The village was a two minute walk away and there were enough shops for everyday use - we can certainly recommend the bakers and butchers. The local Osteria was good value and the food excellent. The countryside around the area and hill top villages are truly beautiful as is Siena. There certainly isn't a shortage of things to do. We had fantastic weather for the whole fortnight, it was even too hot on some occasions for us!! We would certainly recommend this accommodation to our friends.
Thank you for your kind review!

"So happy we have already rebooked!!!!"
My wife and I had a wonderful week staying the at Casciano house. The location truely is ideallic, perched right on the edge of the village. 5 minute peacful walk to the shop and restraunts, yet virtually no passing traffic!!!
The owners are extremely freindly and helpful, they even noticed my wife's birthday during the passport check and prompty turned up with a wonderful bottle of wine.
The gardens are shared with the owners, to be fair we never saw them apart from their ongoing gardneing. When we did it was a polite hello and smile, and we always felt we had our privacy.
Main village restaraunt is excellent; nice local atmosphere, good quality and great price. Sienna is a 15-20 minute drive and the local rolling hills make for great exploring.
Were off again next year and cant wait!!!!
Thank you for your great review! We look forward to welcoming you again next year

"A beautiful place but disappointed that the pool was not private as promised"
A lovely apartment, well equipped. Good location with access to lots of beautiful places to visit. As the owners speak little English, some info. in the house re places to shop, markets etc. would have been useful. We were promised the pool would be for our sole use, which was important to us in our choice of villa, but the owners regularly had several guests there. As we arrived very late on a Saturday night, having had no opportunity to shop on the way, we would have appreciated a small supply of provisions which are normally provided.
If you had asked in advance to provide some provisions upon your arrival, we would have been happy to do it! We normally do it upon request.

"Quaint and comfortable apartment, great location"
We loved our stay at Casa Casciano. The location was perfect: far enough away to feel like you're in the countryside, but still very close driving distance to all that Tuscany has to offer. The owners were very nice and helpful. The apartment was well appointed with everything you'd need.

"Lovely pool and beautiful views"
We enjoyed a fantastic week in this clean and well equipped ground floor apartment. The pool area and garden was lovely and the owners were friendly and welcoming. It was fantastic value for money and an excellent centre to visit Siena, and San Gimignano. We also visited Florence (a bit further away) but doable. This is a hidden gem!
Thank you for reviewing the Casa Casciano! We were happy to have you as guests here, hope to see you again in a near future.
