Atlanta Now 6th-Best City In The Nation For Residential Property Rental Income
A new index shows Atlanta ranks in the top 10 U.S. cities in terms of income for residential landlords.
Compiled by All Property Management (APM), the country's largest online network of property management services, the new report's goal is to help investors make informed decisions based on current marketplace analysis. Factors such as residential vacancy rates, cap rates and annual rent increases were considered, in addition to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and CoreLogic.
Depicted graphically at the bottom of this page, APM's Rental Property Management Health Index found that Atlanta ranks sixth in the nation in terms of income potential for investors in residential rental properties. "The A" earned the number six spot for great job growth rate, high yearly rent increases and urban development cap rates despite mediocre housing appreciation and vacancy rates.
Rental income in Atlanta increased by a hefty 13.34% despite vacancy rates of 10.65%, showing the city's growing economy is keeping tenants in the black and able to shoulder higher rents.
Atlanta is one of the busiest real estate markets in America; the large city's population, estimated at 443,775 in 2012 by the U.S. Census Bureau, is predicted to grow by 43% by the year 2025, according to Jason Hartman of Platinum Property Investor Network.
"This massive metropolitan area attracts dozens of large corporations and industries, and thus thousands of employees who are transplants and commuters looking for Atlanta properties to rent," Hartman says. "With an exponentially growing job market and ever-increasing worldwide economic impact, the demand for Atlanta rental properties is truly astounding."
APM's Rental Property Management Health Index provides essential information to help investors assess the long-term value of rental properties nationwide, according to Steve Cook, award winning real estate journalist and co-publisher of Real Estate Economy Watch.
"Not only does the Rental Property Management Health Index offer investors a quick, comprehensive grasp of the current rental market on a national scale, it provides the type of data that should be most important from a business standpoint, like yearly rent variances and a particular city's urban development trends," said Cook. "While other tools may show near term-deals on distress sales, the APM Health Index educates investors on the potential wisdom of investing in any given market for the long term, regardless of temporary price discounts or short-term market trends."
APM's new index provides a holistic view to aid potential investors in deciding where to purchase a profitable rental property. Research indicates 65 percent of individual investors plan to purchase additional properties in the coming year, and Wall Street firms have amassed more than $10 billion to invest in an institutional asset class.
"As investors look to explore new markets, get out of current markets, or double down, the data from this index will allow them to compare various factors and weigh which ones matter most to them," said APM CEO Reggie Brown. "Good information is essential for a wise investment, regardless of the investor's size."
Founded in 2004, Seattle-based All Property Management, is the largest online network of property management services, connecting tens of thousands of property owners with thousands of licensed property managers across North America each year. All Property Management allows property owners to maximize rental investments by connecting them with professional property managers who can meet their specific property needs, from single family home rentals to multi-unit apartment complexes and homeowners' associations.

This weekend we saw the first of the new Cheetahs Super Rugby Squad, and there was not much to see I must add. After the game I needed some comic relieve so I went to the Cheetahs Facebook page to see what the good old supporters had to say, and I was not disappointed.
A lot of them went along the lines of the Cheetahs are going to get thrashed out there, others called for the head of Naka (Which I agree with of course) and then there were the Lions supporters who just had to like the Cheetahs page and comment on the Cheetahs voting out the Lions, no mention of any other unions here though, must have been only us then. Luckily the Administrators are grown men who actually can admit to faults and have buried the hatchet on that matter between the FSRU and GLRU.
There were some strong points from the central franchise which do deserve a mention, our first half defence was something we have been lacking for a while, first time tackles were made and they didn't miss a tackle for the first 25 minutes, which usually reads in reverse with 25 missed tackles in the first minute. The second half though, things were back to normal… sadly.
Piet van Zyl, Boom Prinsloo, Robert Ebersohn and Hennie Daniller along with newcomers Rossouw de Klerk (fits in well as replacement for WP Nel) JP Nel, Lood de Jager, Tertius Daniller and Caylib Oosthuizen all had a good game, but there were to many players found wanting against a weekend Lions team, Raymond Rhule had a pretty average outing to what he is capable of doing, the yellow card may have been harsh but you need to deal with these things as they happen, Francois Brummer was completely out of his comfort zone and needs to step up his game, Marnus Schoeman was trying too hard to be the next Brussouw infringing time after time, if this was a Super Rugby match, the Cheetahs would have been 14 men for the rest of the game after 5 minutes. He needs to be nurtured and taught when to just let the ball go and wait for the next one instead of trying to turn-over each and every ball. I would also like to see Hansie Graaff start at 10 for the next match, the little chances he had, he impressed, it will be nice to see what he can offer when given the opportunity.
One thing that the Lions did and the Cheetahs need to learn from, is keep the ball and run with it, Brummer and van Zyl persisted with those aimless up and under kicks forcing the Cheetahs back onto the defensive, which we all know is not their strongpoint, attacking is. When the Cheetahs kept ball in hand they looked dangerous and were getting passed the gain-line quite often.
Leadership was also missing, Ebersohn led from the front playing a loose-Forward and Inside-Centre roll, but he needs to calm the players down when the chips aren't in their corner, once the Lions were in the lead, the Cheetahs were like a dear stuck in the headlights, they couldn't move nevertheless tackle. Hopefully when Strauss comes back he can help the youngsters out.
I would not call for a complete state of panic just yet, there is a reason we play these warm up games, to iron out all the problems from the off-season, or in our defensive case, the past 3 years. The good thing here is that the Cheetahs can only improve.
Well done to the Lions for showing guts and true skill, Lionel Cronje and Anthony Volminck are certainly players to look out for in this Lions Challenge.
My sincerest condolences to the Jantjies family with the loss of their father this past weekend.

Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is the most commonly offered and best-known types of massage. It is deeply relaxing and can be a great place to start if you have never had a massage before. In a society of high tech lifestyles and multiple demands, massage is increasingly becoming a way to support overall wellness and is no longer considered a luxury. Our therapists understand that pain is often just a symptom of an underlying cause and excel at giving your body the attention it needs whether you have a chronic pain condition or are a weekend warrior.
What to Expect
The massage therapist uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, improve circulation and ease muscle tension. Massage oil is used to facilitate smooth gliding strokes called effleurage. Other techniques used in Swedish massage are kneading, friction sometimes tapping.
Feel free to state your preference regarding pressure. It can range from firm to light. Swedish massage usually includes some deeper work on areas of specific muscle tension. If you want more intensive work with deeper pressure you should ask for a deep tissue massage.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Swedish Massage is a type of therapy with numerous benefits that are varied from person to person and can have a far reaching impact. Benefits include but are not limited to:
- relieves chronic muscle tension, through deep relaxation.
- decreases headaches, pain and improves range of motion
- improves circulation and flexibility
- improves immune function
- fosters a sense of well-being through renewed energy and a cleared mind
- reduces mental and physical stress and fosters a sense of peace and stillness
- helps reduce symptoms from fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, insomnia
Chronic Conditions
Today massage therapy is used in the management of many chronic health conditions including low back, muscle and joint pain, headache, arthritis, auto immune disease, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety and insomnia. By improving range of motion, flexibility, circulation, and immune function, therapeutic massage helps prevent injury and illness. You can move through life with more ease and grace. Other therapeutic benefits of massage reduce stress by providing your body's musculoskeletal and nervous systems the experience of the relaxation response, reminding them how good it feels to really relax.

The real story behind "Black Friday"
With retailers like Target now opening at midnight on Black Friday, do you think this will really up sales?
Yes, it will bump sales. But stores are always robbing Peter to pay Paul. Because, if you're buying it one time, you're not buying it another time. There's planned cannibalization of sales there. You're urging someone, instead of coming out at 3 a.m., to come out at midnight. Now the question is, are you going to steal customers from other stores? The short answer is, yeah, the other stores aren't open.
How long is this going to last? In terms of years, not many. It's what I call "retail one-ups-manship." They just continue to try and one-up each other. And eventually the effect is diluted. Consumers get very used to it, it's not special anymore. The deals are running for weeks now.
And, I think the idea of online sales is really going to jump the shark, and the whole thing will peak and sales will start spreading out again. But I think online sales will rob a lot, don't you?
Well, yes. But I think there can be two distinct types of shoppers: Those who online shop, and those who shop in the store. Is there a lot of crossover with those shopping habits?
You see it a lot when the weather gets bad. People will forgo their brick-and-mortar purchases and shop online. There tends to be different kinds of shoppers, yes, but online sales do take a bigger chunk of retail sales every year. Which means they're stealing from brick-and-mortar sales. It's just not as fast as everyone thinks it is.
But you've got online sales going, and I think "Cyber-Monday" was just coined a couple years ago. It was in a press release, which means a PR person wrote it. So that one was planned. And then last year American Express came up with "Small Business Saturday."
"Small Business Saturday" is now being pushed really heavily.
Yeah, it's their whole gimmick -- the Black Card. American Express caters to small businesses, that's their whole target market. So its really in American Express's best interest. But consumers will get numb and desensitized to all of it. Frankly, since the recession, there have been so many deals all the time, that I think there is a huge expectation consumers are just going to get, you know, with Groupon and everything, 15 to 70 percent off. Honestly, most retailers can't survive with that sort of discount.
Retailers don't have heavy margins, anyway, for the most part. Their margins are a lot tighter than manufacturers. You've got raw material prices increasing, and it brings a lot of price pressure upward. Which means if retailers discount, they have to buy a heck of a lot more than they used to, get some volume deals so they can offer those point-of-purchase discounts. And it just kills.
That's the whole problem with the Groupon model, is that consumers don't want to pay the regular price.
It sort of negates the definition of a "sale price."
Right. The idea behind "sales promotion," the definition, is "a short-term offer of value designed to illicit a response." They have to be short-term. And the idea is that someone is going to respond. So, couponing two-for-one and all these types of sales promotions that we have, when you overuse them, consumers eventually become desensitized. And then they expect it. If it's not a deal, they won't buy it. That's just bad merchandizing, bad strategy.
You keep discounting to get rid of inventory and cash flow, and then you wonder where the profits are -- and then you wonder where the return on investment is. You're supposed to use it to entice new customers to try your product. And then it somehow turns into "hey, lets reward all our current customers because they want to be treated like new customers." It's like a drug. You use more and more of it. And I think a lot of these retailers are pretty cracked out now.
Its like, "do consumers really demand this? Are they really going to do less holiday shopping without all this stuff?" I don't think that anyone has proven that they will.

Here at cake HQ, we're basically new wave separatism revivalists*. So, not only do we not buy a bus ticket from a man, we refuse to talk to anyone straight. Ever. Problematic when seeing our parents at Christmas, for example.
Entertainment-wise, obviously everyone who writes for TMC only listens to music by lesbian singers and watches TV and films ONLY if they might have a vaguely gay theme (The Witches counts. Clueless doesn't). The whole situation can be difficult – for example, some art exhibitions by straight people in London are quite good, and some of us are occasionally tempted to pop down and view them. But: if this happens, one of us will appear with a deterrent. We find throwing green paint at them is best, like Peta, to shame them. (Not green-coloured paint: green paint – environmentally-friendly paint that biodegrades as fast as possible).
Anyway, every new wave separatism revivalist needs a rubbish lez film to get them through dark days (ie January 1st. Or January 2nd depending on how long you're planning to keep going. Just don't ever go to Fabric on January 1st. Don't.) So here are five…
*not an actual thing probably.
The most pretentious film ever made. Therefore rubbish and AMAZING.
I know this was revolutionary, and totally exciting for lezzers who had been starved of a good lez film. But it sure as hell ain't good. It's rubbish to a perfect degree. Favourite scene: the pre-sex nail clipping scene.
Veering on paedophilic, this atrociously-acted film also has one of the worst scripts ever. Therefore RUBBISH therefore WATCH IT.
Models! Drugs! Lesbians! Definitely pretty rubbish. Unmissable.
Everyone I know who's seen this says it's pretty dull.
But you know what, you couldn't get more obediently new wave separatist than this. So this wins.
Go enjoy some rubbish times!

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
"You need to have a game plan when you're growing out your hair," says N.Y.C. hairstylist Patrick Melville, who has worked with Heidi Klum. "First, add interest in the front, like sweeping bangs, so the hair has style as it's getting longer." Trimming ends as little as ¼ inch every six to eight weeks helps keep hair looking polished as it grows. And once you get it past shoulder length, snip in long, soft layers for movement. "While you're waiting, switch things up so you don't get bored," adds Melville. "If your hair is straight, wear it wavy; if it's wavy, style it straight."
Dec. 2, 2008
"Heidi started out with an A-line bob and sweeping fringe," says Melville. "The side part was extremely flattering on her strong jaw."Read MoreLess

Stroke is a major healthcare problem. It is one of the leading causes of death and serious long-term disability. Prevention of stroke is considered to be an important strategy. Some Traditional Chinese Medicines are used to try and prevent stroke because evidence suggests that they can improve blood circulation, dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, inhibit thrombosis, regulate lipid metabolism and other functions. We looked for evidence on the effects of Chuanxiong, a treatment widely used in China to treat and prevent stroke.
We found three trials that tested treatments based on Chuanxiong. One trial compared Nao-an capsule with aspirin for the primary prevention of stroke in people at high risk. This trial found that Nao-an capsule reduced the incidence of stroke. It may, therefore, be a choice for the primary prevention of stroke. However the design of the trial means that the results may have been affected by the way people were selected to take part in the study, and by potential conflicts of interest of the researchers.Two further trials were identified but they were of low quality and their evidence was weak. Further good quality research is required.

She's not much of a baby any more-she turned 3 this year, but this is my granddaughter whom has turned into my daughter (I've adopted her) her name is Dessie and is the apple of my eye. :) |
What a doll!!! Love that smile! She is so cute. I know you enjoy every minute with her. |
Aeryn's wearing her cheerleading suit in this pic. My dd and sil live in a small rural town and one of the highlights is high school football. They go to a lot of the games. Aeryn loves it! Dancey |
This is one of the latest pics dd had taken. Aeryn is 18 mos. old here. I just can't believe how fast she's growing up. I'm not ready for her to grow up!!!! *S* Dancey |

This is my DD (Dessie) & my GS (Cameron) playing dress-up..lol Check out the mis-matched shoes!! LOL I could go on with this thread for weeks...lol I have THOUSANDS of pictures of her, LOL |
They are sooooo cute! They will have so much fun growing up together. Yes I see the 'neat shoe match'. LOL Dancey |
She's such a big tease! She's wearing her Aunt Carly's reading glasses. |
Here's one from one of the most recent football games. Dancey |
I hope I don't offend anyone with this but, you should think twice about putting these precious babies on the internet. I read something about this last week and it is scary. If a pervert choose one particular child, there is a good chance they can find that child through the computer and your post. My nephew is a computer expert and he found out another relative put his child's photo on their web site, he blasted them good. Someone in the help forum asked what the fuss was about online privacy, then an expert came back with OP's phone number and address. He didn't put all of the numbers online, just enough to convince the poster that it can be done. |

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and despised others: | 9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: |
10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. | 10 "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. |
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. | 11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector. |
12 I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.' | 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' |
13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' | 13 "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' |
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." | 14 "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |

Summer sets on sale at Tesco in the UK
Posted by Matthew,LostInTranslation just sent word that Tesco Direct are now selling a selection of the Summer 2013 sets from Friends, Castle, Creator, Technic and LoTR, the first retailer to stock them in the UK.
It really is bizarre how LEGO allow their retailers to stock new items before they are even added to LEGOShop.com most of the time...
Have you found these sets anywhere else in the UK? Let us know!
23 comments on this article
Yes, LOTR, castle, creator, technic, LOTR & no please not friends, why, why, why!!!!!!!!!.
My local toy shop had the new loc sets.
Tesco at Silverburn near Glasgow has Gold Getaway, Dragon Mountain and LotR Council of Elrond. Didn't notice any Creator or Technic yet.
I found Castle and Lord of the Rings at my local toy shop this morning, I picked up the Council of Elrond and a couple of Lone Ranger sets.
Just been in my local one in Bradford, none there, only Chima kits on sale prices.
Found castle (70400 & 70402) and Council of Elrond in York today.
Yes council of elrond in Tesco Bursledon a great set
Found the Mandalorian speeder earlier. Can't wait til I get the council of Elrond!!
chima speedorz, galaxy squad,and hero factory sets on tesco direct to bad i spent all my money.
on the lego website they still don't have the summer hero factory sets.
Chima Speedorz and City and LOTR at "A1 Toys" in Glasgow
In the US, we now have Castle and LOTR, but I need to see about the other themes. The set shown above for Friends, I'm looking forward to getting!
I'm in the US and I saw Heartlake High and the Dolphin ship and some other Friends summer 2013 at TRU.
The summer firends sets have been available on Amazon UK for at least two weeks now, I have already bought one or two.
I live in the uS and we have all new galaxy squad, city, friends, Lotr, and castle since may
This Friends bakery set is available already at Legoland California. Noticed it there yesterday, but didn't buy it as I already spent too much on other items.
Tesco operates a "Just in time" supply chain - which means that once an item is passed to them from a supplier it is moved through the warehouse(s) and onto shelves very quickly. This is keeps their costs down as holding stock is expensive. Because of this system they don't generally agree to honour to release dates. The exception is home entertainment (video games, music etc) where each store has a small stock area within the department.
I don' t think they have any release date infrastructure within toys, and Lego boxes are bulky so they wouldn't want to do it anyway. So if Lego want to control the shelf date they need to supply Tesco (and other supermarkets) much later and warehouse the goods themselves (which can be a huge cost). It comes back to the usual story - the UK Supermarkets are such huge buyers that the usual rules don't apply. I think Argos and specialist toy shops sell more inventory in total, but for the lines they choose to carry Tesco are a very big seller. Big enough that they can get away with doing things on their terms.
Target in major US markets are stocking the new summer releases already. I have seen SW Republic Gunship, SW AT-TE, Friends High school, Emma's sport Car and Dolphin Cruiser; Coast Guard Patrol, King's Castle, LOTR The Council of Elrond, LOTR Pirate Ship Ambush.
Also on amazon.co.uk they're selling aviation adventures, treehouse, and family house.
You can also buy the family house for £55.56 instead of £59.99.
to bad i don't have any money right now.
All summer LOTR sets, all Castle sets and all Lone Ranger sets arrived at Smyths, Fareham, Southampton today. the guy was practically begging me to take some away as it was making his re-organising job easier!!
I was impressed with the Castle sets and new LOTR wave looks epic.
tesco have the lion chi temple, the gorrila striker and all the new ones.
smyths have got the big chima figures at £10.99 each and avalable to buy now
^ i have two of the constraction figures i got them from amazon last month.
I got chi Eris (mine came with two heads and no body but lego sent me a body)
and i also got chi Cragger.
this must be like my fourth comment on this but anyway the new argos catalogue is out tomorrow (saturday)
they will have new stuff then.
Commenting has ended on this article.

for these stories:
Grand View Hospital received a Surgical Care Improvement Award of Excellence for implementing best practices to improve patient safety. All hospitals in the state of Pennsylvania and across the nation are evaluated on the same core process of care measures that serve as the criteria for the award. Only nine hospitals in Pennsylvania including Grand View received the award. Grand View's Quality Management Manager Cathy Hurley, credits a proactive, team approach. "Our entire staff – surgeons, anesthesiologists, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, hospital executives and others – has worked together to make quality patient outcomes a priority. We put several processes in place to minimize the risk of infection and other surgical complications," Hurley said. Some of the processes include: Administration of appropriate antibiotics within the right timeframe; maintaining the appropriate body temperature throughout the surgical process; removing catheters used to drain the bladder in a timely manner after surgery; and giving drugs that prevent blood clots. The Surgical Care Improvement Award of Excellence was bestowed by Quality Insights of Pennsylvania, a non-profit organization under contract with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This organization protects Medicare patient rights and works collaboratively with hospitals and other health care providers in Pennsylvania to assist them in their efforts to improve the quality of the care they deliver.

The adapter protein RIP plays a crucial role in NF-kappaB activation by TNF. Here we show that triggering of the p55 TNF receptor induces binding of RIP to NEMO (IKKgamma), a component of the I-kappa-B-kinase (IKK) "signalosome" complex, as well as recruitment of RIP to the receptor together with the three major signalosome components, NEMO, IKK1 and IKK2, and some kind of covalent modification of the recruited RIP molecules. It also induces binding of NEMO to the signaling inhibitor A20, and recruitment of A20 to the receptor. Enforced expression of NEMO in cells revealed that NEMO can both promote and block NF-kappaB activation and dramatically augments the phosphorylation of c-Jun. The findings suggest that the signaling activities of the IKK signalosome are regulated through binding of NEMO to RIP and A20 within the p55 TNF receptor complex.

If you can get your network up and running with the 1.4rc1-test4 (or any other liveCD, for that matter), you can pull the stage tarball of your choice from the net, as per the Gentoo handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-alpha.xml?part=1&chap=5#doc_chap2 . This will probably work just fine with the 2004.3 stages; I don't think you are restricted to the 1.4rc1 stages just because you use the 1.4rc1 liveCD. > From the sounds, it appears that the 2004.3 really *was* booting. > However, it failed to re-initialize the video or something. When (not if! ;-) you build your own kernel, you may want to be careful around video options initially since your problems appear indeed to have to do with video initialization. For instance, try disabling support for the framebuffer console at first; just get a minimal kernel to boot on your machine and add nice features incrementally. I'd start from the alpha-sources (alpha-sources ebuild, which is the 2.4.21 kernel with loads of alpha-specific patches). Good luck! Marnix. -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

The dead aren't always excused from trial
Sergei Magnitsky's case is not the first in which the dead have been put on trial.
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The tax-evasion conviction of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky more than three years after his death was the first under a 2011 Russian law allowing posthumous trials, but not the first time the dead have been put on trial. Some other posthumous trials and actions.
This was a case in which the pope's corpse was put on the stand in the so-called Cadaver Synod of 897. One of his predecessors, John VII, accused him of conspiring with others to take the papacy and of trying to become bishop of Bulgaria even though he held another bishopric. Formosus eventually was elected pope in 891 and served until his death in 896, but the previous quarrels had festered. His successor revived the charges and ordered Formosus' corpse be exhumed and brought to the papal court for judgment. He was found guilty of perjury and violating canon law. Two subsequent popes annulled the Cadaver Synod, but Pope Sergius III reaffirmed the conviction.
The French teenager who claimed divine guidance and led the French army to victories in the Hundred Years' War was tried for heresy and burned at the stake in 1431. But a quarter-century later, Pope Callixtus III ordered a new trial after requests by Joan's mother and a French official. The proceedings described her as a martyr and said she was falsely convicted. She was canonized as a saint in 1920.
As a towering figure in 17th-century England, Cromwell attracted wide enmity: signing the death warrant for King Charles I, taking harsh measures against Roman Catholics and demonstrating brutal military brilliance. The resentment was such that although he never faced trial, dead or alive, he did suffer a posthumous "execution." In 1661, after royalists returned to power, his corpse was exhumed and decapitated, and the head was displayed on a pole for years.

How does one describe the Adrian Legg mystique? He looks like a corner shopkeeper who'd be most comfortable in an apron, with a manner tipped unevenly in the direction of subtle. But he also plays the bejesus out of an acoustic guitar, executing finger-style licks with devilishly superhuman skill--but only after getting his audience to roll in the aisles with a sneakily funny story. Legg's amazing to watch, but he's also a really nice, literate guy--see and hear tonight at 9 at the Soiled Dove, 1949 Market St. Admission is $12; call 303-830-TIXS.

It's baaaack! After a successful inaugural season last summer, Haunted Carnival: Boulder's Festival of Fantastic Film returns to the college town, offering a full month's worth of sci-fi, fantasy and horror film classics (and--face it--not-so-classics) at five venues, including CU's International Film Series in Muenzinger Auditorium, the Boulder Public Library Auditorium, the Boulder Theater, Chautauqua Auditorium and Boulder's Outdoor Cinema. This year's fete will include an appearance by veteran sci-fi author Ray Bradbury later in the month, as well as tributes to Stanley Kubrick and B-movie classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but there's plenty to occupy your mind in between. Things get under way tonight with screenings of Yog, Monster From Space at the BPL, 1000 Canyon Blvd., and Until the End of the World and Mighty Peking Man at CU-Boulder. There's also a kickoff masquerade party with music by Jerry C. and the Zukes of Zydeco tonight at 8 at the Boulder Theater, 2030 14th St; for tickets, $5.25, call 303-786-7030.

Denver has its own clockwork, and the annual advent of the Capitol Hill People's Fair is, without question, how it chimes in the summer season. It's a monster of a street festival that started out small in the Seventies before ballooning to its present size and stature: six nonstop entertainment stages, more than 500 vendor booths, a hands-on Backpacker Magazine Outdoor Village, kids' activities, carnival rides and more, all sprawled out in Civic Center Park at Colfax and Broadway. Attend the fest from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. today or 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. tomorrow; admission is free. Call 303-830-1651.
Nobody understands that the pen is mightier than the sword better than Paul Conrad, who for decades has been known as one of the world's leading political cartoonists.

They're all that is Austin--non-conforming, laid-back, folksy, rootsy, rocky and damn funny. So it's no wonder the Austin Lounge Lizards were voted Band of the Year at the 1996 Kerrville Music Awards and are perennial favorites with the Austin music community. Get a taste of Texas bohemia when they perform tonight at 8 at Swallow Hill Music Hall, 71 E. Yale Ave.; for tickets, $14 ($12 members), call 303-777-1003.

It's turning out to be the summer of the bug, it seems, with major insect-related events coming to the Denver Botanic Gardens later in the month and a mega-bug mural going up in downtown Denver, but the Denver Museum of Natural History is first in line with today's Infested Festival, a day of buggy doings from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that includes insect cookery, a creepy-crawly touchy-feely insect zoo, a giant bug parade and a film festival. And, for the intrepid, there's even an after-dark Things That Go Hunt in the Night Hunt with spider expert Dr. Paula Cushing, beginning at 9 p.m. Festival admission ranges from $8 to $16; call the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd., at 303-322-7009, for reservations.

Has anyone ever ordered Persil and Vernel from a German website? I was wondering if it would be cheaper to do that and pay international shipping than the high prices in the US for it. Just curious. I tried to do it through Amazon.de just to get an idea of what shipping would be, but when I get to the checkout page it says it can't ship. |

I checked eBay.de but it seems most retailers on there seem to ship only here in Germany. Besides, the packages are expensive. How much do you pay for a box of Persil? Which size? Alex |

I paid $41 USD for a 48 load box of Persil Color Gold Megaperls... |
- Posted by whirlpool_trainee (My Page) on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 18:27
Three packs of Persil (the concentrated formula) would give you 48 loads. If on sale, you'd pay $15 in a store over here. I have not looked into shipping options yet, though. I expect it to be rather expensive. |
We've had a Miele washer for a bit > 10 years and have used nothing but Persil. When purchased, the model we chose was the one "larger size" sold. If I remember right it has a 5 kilo capacity instead of the very tiny 3.5 or so that they put out with their standard models. SO, it's bigger but still more like the smallish European size compared to other front loaders made for the American market. Our experience is that like American laundry products, the recommended amount per load shown on the Persil boxes is WAY too much. We use the concentrated Megaperls color (now called Color Gold), and either the non concentrated or concentrated (Megaperls) with oxy bleach for whites. I think the little scooper we use is a teaspoon but I'm not sure. It's small. We use 1 measure of concentrated grains for a full load and 1.5 of the non concentrated. If the load is dirtier than normal, we might sprinkle one third of a measure into the prewash slot, and if the load is less than full, we might use only 2/3rds in total. I just weighed one of our little scoops full of Megaperls and it contains 10 grams of the product. Rounding up to 15 grams (more than we average per load) and with a 3.2 kg box, that's over 200 loads for the $41 box. The box recommends using something like 3 times as much as we do and I can say from experience that's much more than is needed to do the job. We don't have little kids who play in the dirt so perhaps our loads aren't as dirty as what a very young family would have. But even when washing much dirtier than normal stuff, it always comes out completely clean and with a light fresh smell. Try using less, see what your experience is. |
