This brand new luxury house with a private garden, has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and is set in the Residencial Moraira Sport complex with its communal areas and two big swimming pools (one heated 1 week before Easter and 1 week after Easter ). This house is ideal for families seeking relaxation, being just 2 minutes from the beach and having great views. You will love this perfect house for holidays or long term lets. This new luxury complex has private gardens, all integrated in spacious green zones, and various communal areas with a big swimming pool and paddle court, in addition to woodland exercise zone equipped with gymnasium apparatus and children play area. With ultra-modern technology of the very highest standards, this is a home where there is nothing missing, with every amenity within your reach. The property has air conditioning and central heating. You will love it.
Weather: Moraira enjoys a subtropical Mediterranean climate, with sea breezes cooling the area in summer and in winter getting protection from the cold North winds from the surrounding mountains. The area averages some 3,000 hours of sunshine each year and the average temperature exceeds 20 degrees. On average there are 325 sunny days each year. In 1986 the World Health Organisation commended the Moraira climate as one of the most equitable in the world - neither too hot in the summer nor too cold in the winter.
History: Moraira covers 32 sq.kms. with more than 2,000 hectares under cultivation and 1,000 hectares of vineyards. The vineyard area is up in the hills where the land is not so valuable for villa development.
Objects found in a cave (Cova de la Cendra) on the Cap d´Or ( the headland that protects Moraira´s and El Portet beaches) revealed that there has been human habitation in Moraira for thousands of years.The first settlers (Upper Palaeolithic 15,000 to 20,000 BC) lived here.
The Iberians later arrived in the area and pots from their culture have been unearthed on the Cap d´Or .
Later as elsewhere along the Spanish Mediterranean Coast, the Moors conquered the area. The relics of Moorish society are seen still today in the architecture of the buildings, the irrigation and agricultural systems and town layouts. Many of the names used for areas of Moraira have come from the Moors.
Legend...: There is a legend that Moraira was named after the Moorish princess 'Ira, la Mora' - hence 'Mora Ira'. This may or may not be true. However there is no truth in the tale that her bones are buried under the old castle on the main beach (now restored as a historical monument and museum).
At the end of the 18th century, when Teulada was a farming village, crops were exported by sea from the natural ports. As time went by, locals started turn to fishing as a source of income. The small houses where the tackle used to be stored, were enlarged to become fishermen's houses. This was how Moraira as a village came to be developed.
Hi! I know Moraira since... always. My parents bought a house in Moraira when I was a little boy. My family (my parents, my sister and brother) and I have spent our holidays (Christmas, Easter and summer) in Moraira for the last 35 years. Even if I've had the chance to travel all around the world (I work for Eurosport TV as a journalist in Paris), I have to say that Moraira has something very very special. I grew up in Madrid and, as a child, I always wanted to come back to Moraira. Now I live in Paris and my wife and I have a 1 year old baby-girl who already loves Moraira. We spent a fantastic time with her this summer. In fact we all had a great time: my parents, my sister, my brother, my wife, my baby and I. If you know Moraira you already know that the place is just wonderful, but if you don't know it yet I'm sure that you'll agree with me as soon as you come.
Daniel Puchol purchased this villa in 2008
That's a great question. As I already said, I know Moraira for the last 35 years, so as you can imagine I know the whole area very well. That's the reason why it took me some time to buy my own property. I wanted to make sure that it was in the right place, and I finally found it. It is calm, comfortable and safe. I also wanted to make sure that the house was close enough to the beach, but at the same time I didn't want it to be very close to the village in order to avoid noises... And I found the perfect place. At the same time I didn't want to buy an old house as they usually have some problems even more when they are close to the beach. I wanted to buy a new and vert comfortable house for all the family, and that's what I did.
Well, I think I'm not the right person to talk about the 'unique benefits' of my property. I think it would be a good idea to take a look to the reviews written by the hosts who have rented the house in the past. They will tell you about all the unique things of the house... It is calm, clean, safe for children, it has beautiful views...
Our great holiday experience began with prompt and very reassuring communication with Daniel. This was our first holiday in Spain as a family of four, out of which two are very young children (6 & 3). Right from organising pick up from the airport by Daniel's brilliant representative - Ximo, to making sure we got accustomed to what Moraira offered, we were very impressed with the approach and hospitality. The pristine beaches in Moraira are a short drive away and even though we were very reluctant about driving, we took it up and overall the conditions were very conducive. We were very lucky with a warm, sunny weather and the place is not too commercial and overwhelming, which we really liked.
Car hire is an essential, please research about be clear about charges you pay for fuel if you get the car with a full tank and how they expect it back, as we hadn't and ended up in a confusion.
All in all, children are already dreaming about another holiday in Spain as we loved the villa complex and Moraira, and we are doing the same!
My partner and I stayed here with our three year old son for nine days in September 2014. As you can see from this website, Daniel has two villas - the one pictured and another one (just a couple of doors away). We stayed in the villa which is not pictured, but it is identical in terms of layout and facilities. The only things that differed were the furniture and soft furnishings. It was a very spacious modern villa, with three good sized bedrooms, two of which have fantastic views from a large balcony (I agree with another review on here which suggests that table and chairs would be a good addition to this space). Downstairs, the living space is a very good size, with an open plan dining and living room, which leads on to a very private garden which is gated. The kitchen and utility area are a good size, however, I would have liked more cupboard space for us to place our groceries.
For those of you with children who are thinking of going, inside the villa there is a stairgate at the top of the stairs which was beneficial. Outside the villa, there are steps down the side of the villa and whilst there is a stairgate at the bottom it is not particularly high and my son was able to climb over it! However, having said this, he could not go very far when he reached the top of the stairs as the front of the property has two gates (one electric) so he could not have reached the road.
The villa was very clean and tidy when we arrived, and Daniel's representative (Ximo) could not have been more helpful showing us around the villa and providing a map of the local area and pointing out places to go and see.
The complex is extremely well maintained and the communal gardens are beautiful. It is in a peaceful setting in a quiet residential neighbourhood which was perfect for us. It was not particularly busy when we went, so we practically had the swimming pool to ourselves most days! The children's play area is very small and only contains a few pieces of equipment.
Moraira was one of the nicest places we have stayed in Spain and the villa is only a short drive from the beaches, restaurants, bars and supermarkets.
We would definitely return to Moraira and we would have no hesitation in staying at this villa again!
Our thanks to Daniel for providing such a lovely place to stay and for all of his help in advance and during our stay.
A car is a must if you want to sightsee and engine size must be over 1.3 as the terrain in very hilly Satnav is also a must.
The drive from the airport was very straight forward apart from the sudden rain showers the view for your passengers is fab, keep money in your car for the toll booth.
The villa is in a very quiet road and is welcoming from the outside the size will amaze you as from the outside it look small, once you enter into a very large entrance with the bedrooms and family bathroom on this level. The master bedroom as its own on suite the view from you balcony is wonderful if you are with children the other bedrooms are great as they are single beds also on this level you have the stairs that lead down to the large open plan living room with more wonderful view , large kitchen and utility room plus a downstairs cloakroom, the villa has air-con on both floor.
Two sets double lead out your own private garden with patio to either just sit or dine outside brick built bbq to the side for easy access to utility room and kitchen.
The pools are as you see in the photos and we never found the main pool busy there is a lift just outside your gate to take you to the pool to if you which to take a buggy down the second pool is near the tennis court and if forgot as most families used the main pool but if you want to swim laps the second is for you and it have a large area where you can lay out in the sun.
Supermarket is about a 10min drive and is well stocked and the staff are friendly
Market day in Moraira in on a Friday great leather goods
We visited Jevea and Denia which both have beaches but Denia is a working port as well and they bother where a 30min drive from the villa.
If you are looking for a very relax and quite holiday for families and couple I cannot recommend this holiday enough I was never a lover of Spain but after staying here I will be going back as there is a lot more to see and do but we just had the wrong car to do some of the trips.
The weather is just brilliant we had rain on the day we arrived the rest of our holiday was just sun shine.
Would like to thank Daniel and his family for making use we had a wonderful holiday and we would love to come back soon.
Agnes, Dominic, Francesca and Sam
We as a family of six (including a six and two year old) have just returned from a wonderful week in Moraira. Daniel's villa was perfect for us - a shady, safe garden with lots of space inside and convenient for town and the beach. The communal gardens were beautifully looked after too.
Zimo who met us on arrival was very friendly and polite. The villa itself was clean and spacious throughout. The gated frontage was also a bonus for us with the children and we also enjoyed the BBQ and the beach toys on hand for the kids.
The only thing I would have liked to see was a table/chair set or loungers on the upstairs terrace as the view was great and it would have been a wonderfully relaxing place for grandparents to hide (I mean siesta!!) or to read a book in peace!
Thanks to Daniel for welcoming us to Moraira, we all had a great time!
Myself, husband and 2 year old son had a wonderful holiday at this villa in September 2013. From our initial enquiry Daniel was extremley helpful and took the time to recommend placeds of interest and answer any questions we had.
The villa itself was clean, spacious and modern and a great place to stay for any stay in Moraira. The villa is very secure with a gated entrance and the private garden was a great place to relax and play.
The complex was nice, well maintained and a glass lift to the pool was a nice touch. Pool was a little chilly but lovely as we had it to ourself most days. It was our first stay in Moraira and we really enjoyed the area, lovely beaches for children and restaurants a plenty.
We hope to return one day and would definitly like to stay here again as it has everything you need to enjoy a perfect holiday. Thank you!
We had an amazing stay in this three bedroomed spotless and calm villa with beautiful views. The place is spacious and secure. The private Mediterranean garden is just beautiful.
Everything we needed was in the apartment, with many extra appointments and nice touches.
Moraira is a very peaceful location, perfect for relax. My husband, 2 children and I had a wonderful week enjoying both the house and village. The swimming pools are the cleanest I have ever seen!
This is a perfect location for exploring Costa Blanca and it is not far from lovely Valencia as it takes 1 hour aprox to get there.
Beaches are small, clean and calm, perfect for children. I would definitely recommend walking along the bay as there is a fabulous view.
Daniel, the owner was responsive, friendly and easy to deal with.
I cannot say enough good things about this place and we are coming back for sure! As experience travelers, we would highly recommend this villa to families with children.
Moraira is a small coastal town, situated in the beautiful mountainous area of Marina Alta. It has an impressive marina, an excellent variety of local shops, open markets, harbour-side restaurants and bars, which still retain their Spanish character. The strict planning controls have left the valley of Moraira with no hint of towering hotels or apartment blocks.
The beautiful, luscious green countryside, dotted with whitewashed luxury villas and low rise 'pueblo-style' apartment complexes, amid pine woods, cultivated vine terraces and orange groves, make this an idyllic setting for those wanting total peace and privacy.
In Moraira, the orientation of the coast and position of the mountains around it permit a micro climate that guarantees an annual mean temperature of 18 degrees.
Other Activities: Relaxing
Golf: For those of you who spend their holidays or live in Calpe, Moraira, Teulada or Benissa, the golf club Lfach would be a good place to start golfing at the Costa Blanca.
As a 9 hole golf course, it offers a spectacular view over the coastline to the Penon de lfach in Calpe ( a huge impressive rock at the bay). With one putting green, it is one of the smaller courses around. Make sure you give it a try when you are around the area. You find the golf club at the round from Moraira to Calpe after about three km at the Urbanization of San Jaime.

text: Inside the Muscles: Best Shoulders and Trap Exercises by Bret Contreras | 02/16/10 Tags: Shoulder Training Every guy has his own theory about which exercises are the best and which exercises suck. Whether we're analyzing the biomechanics of an exercise (not very likely), "feeling the burn" (more likely), or simply doing a ton of sets and seeing how sore we get over the next few days (ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!), we all think we know the best movements to grow our muscles. But do we really? Bret Contreras wants to take you inside your muscles–without the freak accident that usually precedes such gross anatomy lessons–using EMG, a tool that measures how much muscle activity is going on with every movement you do. After testing 25 different shoulder and trap exercises, he's here to reveal the best of the best. Before we get started, I want to say I'm not going to make any judgments regarding the safety of any exercise in this article. I realize that certain exercises pose greater risks to the joints than others, but every guy has the right to train however the hell he chooses. As lifters, we can choose to assume a lot of risk or little risk since we're the owners of our bodies. So keep that in mind before you type me nasty letters. Now, are you ready to learn the best exercises to build boulder shoulders and monster traps? I'll clear up a few science-y things first and then hit you with the results! (If you skip down to view the exercises first, I don't blame you. But make sure to come back up here to read how it works!) What The Heck Is EMG Anyway? EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles during exercise. While EMG doesn't directly measure muscular tension, the two should be very similar (although slightly off-set), as the electrical activity that EMG measures is simply a measurement of the nervous system's signal to the muscles. Increased EMG activity is indicative of the nervous system's attempt to produce more muscular force. (That's a good thing, by the way.) I used a Myotrace 400 from Noraxon to measure the EMG of every exercise. What's MVC? MVC stands for Maximum Voluntary Contraction. It's a measurement of how hard a muscle can contract isometrically. When you record MVC, you simply position your body in an advantageous position and squeeze your muscle as hard as possible. You can also push against an immovable object. Each muscle has its own position that will yield the highest electrical value. The first step in measuring EMG activity is recording MVC. Following this recording, every subsequent exercise performed will be compared to MVC as a percentage. What Are Mean And Peak Activation? For each exercise I tested, I received data that showed both the mean activation and the peak activation. Researchers typically use mean MVC for their data. I used to think that mean activation was more important as it measured the average activation throughout the entire repetition. However, muscles are not always active throughout the entire range of motion of an exercise, especially during compound lifts. For example, one muscle might be very active down low in the stretched position, while another muscle becomes more active up top in the contracted position of the same exercise. For this reason I believe that peak MVC is a more important figure. Peak activation is a measurement of the highest point of activation during the repetition. Still, I believe that mean activation might be more important for bodybuilding purposes in providing constant tension, occlusion, and "the pump," while peak activation might be more important for sport-specific purposes in providing maximum tension at a certain moment for peak force production. Got it so far? Good. How Is It Possible To Exceed 100% of MVC? I would hope that a guy like myself with 18 years of lifting experience could exceed MVC (which is an isometric contraction) through dynamic barbell, dumbbell, band, or bodyweight exercises. If we couldn't exceed MVC through lifting, then we'd build a strong case for isometric bodyweight training (a la Charles Atlas) for bodybuilding purposes. The reality is that strength training exercises will typically cause peak activation to far exceed MVC. If the exercise is really good, mean activation can exceed MVC as well. When this happens, it simply means that the average activation throughout the repetition is higher than the average activation recorded from a maximum isometric voluntary contraction. People Are Different, But Not That Different. Having measured the EMG of several individuals, I've realized that everyone is different, but not that different. The two most influential factors in muscle activation differences are anthropometry and form. For example, taller individuals tend to exhibit more glute activity during squats than shorter individuals. This makes sense when you think about it, since they have farther to travel. As another example, a powerlifting-style bench press will yield much less pec activity than a bodybuilding-style bench press since the elbows are kept tucked. Although the length of one's body segments and the manner in which one performs an exercise can impact muscle activation, it's surprising how similar most individuals' activations are when it comes to strength training. More Research Is Needed. The data used in this article was obtained from one individual (me) during a week-long series of experiments. I'd hook up the electrodes to the muscle parts I wanted to measure and then perform all the exercises in one session to allow for the greatest level of accuracy. The only exception was for the glutes, quads, adductors, and hamstrings, which required three different tests: one for strength exercises, one for explosive exercises, and one special test for the different areas of the glutes. (Shut up. I'm the Glute Guy after all!) By no means am I trying to suggest that this article should be the definitive Bible on muscular development. Each time I embark on a new series of EMG experiments I learn a tremendous amount of information. I will continue to experiment and share my findings as I acquire new bits of knowledge. Althought it's clear more EMG research and experimentation is needed to confirm the results of my studies, this article is (I hope) very telling in terms of exercise efficiency. Can An Exercise Target a Specific Portion of a Muscle? My EMG research indicates that the bodybuilders were right: various exercises can stress different parts of muscles. For years we've known the different heads of certain muscles such as the deltoids and pectoralis major function differently from one another. However, my research indicates that muscle fibers within a muscle can function differently from one another even if they don't have separate heads. For example, during my research I noted that the upper rectus abdominis and lower rectus abdominis function differently. I suspect that this is true of all muscles, as muscles often have varying fiber angles and attachment points, numerous motor units, and sometimes varying nerve suppliers. This might explain why lifters tend to see better results when they incorporate variety into their routines rather than sticking to just one exercise per muscle or movement pattern. The Second Rep Another significant finding that I encountered is that during a heavy set, the second rep nearly always produced higher EMG readings than the first rep. Perhaps the nervous system "figures out" how to better recruit the muscles following the first repetition. This might explain why Olympic lifters and powerlifters see better results when they perform multiple (albeit low) repetitions rather than just heavy singles, or just why the I, Bodybuilder program seems to be so effective. What You've Been Waiting For! The Exercises. Since this is a bodybuilding experiment, I never used a weight that was too heavy to perform at least five repetitions. The mean number is on top and the peak number is on bottom. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, make sure to read "What Are Mean And Peak Activation?" above.)

It's also no surprise that variations of lateral raises and presses top the charts for mean and peak mid delt exercises. Naturally we'd expect to see variations of rear delt raises and rows topping the charts in mean and peak rear delt activity. Finally, it's not shocking to see the barbell shrug at the top of the list in mean upper trap activity. Now let's move into the stuff that shocked the hell out of me. Surprises I always figured the front military press worked more anterior deltoid than the behind-the-neck press, but I was definitely wrong. And while I knew band face pulls worked the delts, I always assumed they were targeting the rear delts. I was very surprised to find that the band face pull worked more mean and peak lateral delt than any other exercise! (It's important to know that I perform the band face pull in a special manner, making it a mixture between a face pull and a pull-apart. I grab hold of the bands with my hands about three inches apart, and as I perform the face pull motion, I pull the band apart vigorously.) I was also very shocked to find the band face pull worked more mean and peak rear delt muscles than any other exercise, as I assumed a rear delt raise or row variation would have outperformed them. Finally, although I was aware the upper traps got worked through a variety of shoulder exercises, I had no idea as to the magnitude of upper trap activity that was involved in typical shoulder exercises like military presses and lateral raises. I mean, the cable lateral raise topped the charts in peak upper trap activity, beating out heavy shrugs! What If...? During experiments like this, one is often left with much curiosity. What if I would have performed a close-grip bench press or close-grip incline press? Would they have elicited a lot of front delt activity? What if I would have experimented with different types of grips on dumbbell military presses or different form alterations of lateral raises? How would that have impacted mid delt activity? What if I would have done different rowing exercises or different form alterations of rear delt raises? Would they have elicited a lot of rear delt activity? What if I would have performed push presses with a controlled eccentric? What if I had placed the electrodes in a different spot on the upper traps? How would machine exercises faired? Just who the hell is John Galt? Clearly more research is needed, as it's impossible to anticipate everything prior to an experiment no matter how prepared and organized you seem. The Best Damn Shoulder and Trap Workout Based on the results of this experiment, I bet the following would be one kick-ass workout that'd target the front, mid, and rear delts as well as the upper traps.

I heard about Dr. Bauer from a few friends who had used him for their own breast augmentation. I was very hesitant as this is not an inexpensive procedure plus the addition worry of health risks afterwords.I was put at ease from the moment I walked into the office and met his staff.The waiting rooms are so warm and inviting it almost makes it seem as though it is not real or that surely it is a false image of the work; this is not true at all.He was wonderful from the consultation all the way through my surgery and after! His nurses are amazing and have answered numerous phone calls and emails with silly questions and concerns I may have had.When I went into my surgery I was so nervous words cannot explain and it was unbelievable how at ease everyone made me feel.I cannot express how highly I think of this practice & Dr. Bauer,It was life changing which sounds very cliche but it was!I am six weeks out and I cannot thank them enough for making me love myself for the first time.

Below are some specific examples of participants' experiences:
Parents unable to detect pharmacy error made to their infant's medication
A husband and wife who are both legally blind are parents of an infant and are unable to read drug labeling information. They had been given the wrong medication for their baby by a pharmacy and the only reason they figured this out was because they had been prescribed the medication on a previous occasion and the packaging was so different that they asked a sighted neighbor who happened to be visiting to read the label. The mistake made by the pharmacy could have been lethal.
Young man has to visit the emergency room because he could not read insulin label
A 20-year-old respondent explained he had received the wrong dosage of insulin due to not being able to read the label. The prescription was for 50-unit insulin syringes and the pharmacy filled it with 100-unit syringes. He passed out from hypoglycemia and ended up in the hospital.
65-year-old grandmother confuses blood pressure and antidepressant medication
A respondent who has low vision regularly takes prescriptions with labels that have very small print. She often confuses blood pressure medicine with stomach or antidepressant medication. She has developed her own method of labeling her pill bottles in an effort to avoid further

Emotional factors — and seasons — can conspire against teens when it comes to breakouts, says Dr. Doris Day (yes, that's her real name), who is an expert on teens and acne, both professionally and maternally. The New York dermatologist and mother of two teens understands first-hand the stresses that affect teen skin.
But Dr. Day, who claims her chief role with teens is as an educator, says acne doesn't have to be an expected scourge. Dr. Day acknowledges that compliance is an issue with teens, particularly when they are tired, and don't have the time to spend on their skin. But there are new prescription products which only have to be used once a day, and are a "good way to get started," she points out, adding that once a teen gets motivated, she can make professional suggestions, like adding an exfoliating cleanser. The dermatologist has an absolute rule: "Don't pick." adding, "the more people touch their pimples, the longer they last, and the greater the risk of scarring." She says it's important to see a dermatologist when there is any scarring, adding that "even if you have just one pimple a month, and it leaves a scar — that's 12 a year." Contrary to popular belief, a teen's diet has "nothing to do with" her skin condition, Dr. Day says. Greasy foods should be avoided for other reasons, she notes, but they do not harm the skin. In rare cases, a teen will be sensitive to dairy. "It's not the fat content, but most of the cows we get milk from are pregnant, and the hormones can affect the skin," she says. Teens should develop a relationship with a dermatologist by bringing in the products they use, and discussing their current routine. While there are a lot of choices in products, many teens operate under the erroneous assumption that "if a little is good, a lot is better." Dr. Day is the author of 100 Questions and Answers About Acne and Forget the Facelift.Skincare for girls The new skincare line TESS (Teen Everyday Skincare System) was developed by a mom, Susan Shand, in consultation with her teenage daughter. The products, sold only at Sephora stores (and at www.sephora.com), include two "Day to Night" kits. One is for blemish-prone skin ("Skin with Attitude"), and one for combination ("Almost Normal"); they have 6-step regimens that are easy for teens to follow. What is particularly nice is that the products have girl-appeal, with strawberry facial cleanser, and vanilla night cream, but they are also all natural and made with high quality botanical extracts and essential oils. The day moisturizer, made with lavender, contains an SPF 15, and the "Zip It" blemish stick has peppermint oil along with salicylic acid. The complete kits are $48; individual products start at $14.

Best (moderately priced) Stainless Steel Cookware
I'm looking for recommendations for a stainless steel cookware set. I'd like to hear opinions from you, but also if you are aware of any ratings from cooking magazines or consumer magazines, I would like to hear about those as well. I could probably spend a couple hundred dollars. Thanks so much in advance!
Consumer Reports did extensive testing on cookware--think it was in the mag about 6-8 months back (maybe around the holidays?) You should be able to find the issue at your library. They did have a couple of moderately priced lines that they were impressed with. You definitely want to read the article, because some of the brands were very dangerous--under some conditions, the bottoms could liquify and spill melted metal down over your range, and anyone standing nearby. YIKES!
I use All-clad and love it--really worth the price if the budget will stretch that far. But before I got this set, I used Farberware for about 30 years, and was very satisfied with it.
One thing I'd really recommend, though--look for a brand that has metal handles, so you can use the pots both on top of the range, or in the oven. That's one of the things I really love about the All-Clad--the Farberware handles weren't oven safe, so it's a nice change to be able to sear something on the range, then just set the pan in the oven to finish off the cooking.
I have a few pricier pieces (Le Creuset, All-Clad, Calphalon, Scan Pan) and chose each for it's particular use. For everyday cooking chores (making irish oatmeal, grilled sandwiches, etc.) I have been very pleased with the Kirkland set my husband brought home from Costco. We saw a similar set at Marshal Fields (okay, I refuse to say Macy's yet) for over twice the cost. These do have metal handles.
Are you 100% sure you need a set? In many---perhaps most---cases, the items that are in a set don't fit your cooking style.
You might, instead, want to make a list of the pieces you actually need, then buy them from open stock. Personally, I have no use for All Clad. But there are a great many other brands to choose from.
Of those I've used, I really like Henckels. Their skillit design, particularly. fits me better than any others. And the prices are right.
I only have one Calphalon piece---a small saucepan. But, for what it's worth (I mean, how can you really tell from such limited experience) I like the design and the quality.
I've lurked around here for the past year or so before joining and have read that some people don't like All-Clad for whatever reason. I personally love my Stainless Steel AC :) I've bought some on sale at CutleryAnd More and some at Cookware&More which are irregular pieces at a reduced price.
I have a few pieces of Le Creuset too. Now if I could just find a wife who could help me use it...
I purchased a set of good quality SS. May not be AS good quality as All-Clad...but for the price (and I did my research) I purchased "Tools of The Trade" (Belgique/Classique) For $129.00 I got a set of 12 and it came with a bonus sauce pot & glass lid. I purchased my set at Burdines/Macy's. Watch the sale adds - they offer them on special quite a bit. They have larger pieced sets too for a few dollars more. I am very happy with the set I chose. Hope this helps.

Gallery: WHO Estimates That Cancer Risk is 70% Higher For Female Infant...
The 2011 Fukushima disaster was incredibly devastating, but the event's full impact may not be realized for years to come. According to a recent report from the World Health Organization, people living near the site of the accident have a higher risk of developing certain cancers. Women are particularly vulnerable, and female infants have a 70% higher risk of developing cancer.
The cancer risk for people evacuated quickly remains relatively low, but it's higher for emergency workers and those who remained in the area for months after the accident, according to the report. Thyroid cancer represents the most significant risk, since the thyroid is where radioactive particles concentrate. The WHO also found an increased risk for leukemia, breast and general cancer, with men at a 7% risk for leukemia and women at a 6% higher risk for breast cancer. In all cases, the risk is greatest for those exposed as infants.
Risk is determined by a variety of factors, including the amount of exposure, age at time of exposure, and sex. The WHO estimates that exposure during the first year of the disaster ranged from 12 to 25 mSv, which is about the same amount of radiation one receives from a full-body CT scan.

The accident wasn't "devastating." About six people died. The UN estimates that the smoke from fossil fuels and biomass kills around 6,850 people per day, or about a thousand times Fukishima every day (that's just from the smoke, that doesn't included explosions & other accidents). That number would be much higher without nuclear energy.

Electrolux Wave Touch or IQ?
I think I'm focusing in on the Electrolux fl washer and dryer. I'm trying to figure out if the difference between the two models are significant, and worth the extra money. Has anyone looked at these two models...have any opinions on one or the other? thx!
We looked at them and grilled the salesperson. A few more bells and whistles on the wave, neat digital display. So if you're sticking it in a basement laundry room, go with the iq for everything you need. If it will be visible on a living level, go with the wave for looks.
I'm surprised the salesperson didn't point out the fact that the Wave touch also offers steam, both on the washer and dryer. Granted it's up to you to decide if it's worth the extra money, but being able to release the wrinkles, odors in your clothes in the dryer - along with breaking up ground in stains for better cleaning in the washer is obviously a difference.
So there you go. Whether you need it or not - it's at least worth mentioning. Both are good machines and I've had good luck with the ones I've sold so hope they work out well for you!
The only reason I'd vote for the Perfect Steam washer is because the steam option extends these ultra-short wash cycles by 20 minutes. The main wash on Heavy Duty with Heaviest Soil selected is just 21 minutes - that's faster than the Speed Queen front loader. Washing over 20 lbs. of laundry in twenty minutes? Sounds a little too good to be true...
I have the wave touch control washer & dryer , they truly are amazing .... The wave touch controls hide all the options in the washers memory & not clutter up the front display with a lot of tacky option buttons !! And well worth the morning
Would the extra water option on the Wave Touch help with things like bulky items that are pet hair magnets? I have four dogs and a cat and know that my 20 year old Whirlpool's number will soon be up and the low water usage of the HE machines worries me as far as their ability to get rid of dog hair.
I would think the extra water would indeed help out with removing pet hair. I sure does help in my Wave force washer when it comes to washing comforters and pillows. Pillows come out cleaner in it than in my old FL due to the increased amount of water
I have used both machines and the cleaning is outstanding.
Steam is not a must for the washer (gimmick), but will get better use in the dryer. The Wave Touch is a little more flexible than the IQ but they both are the same in performances. Little that one knows, the wash cycle can be extended by canceling the cycle and restarting the same cycle without the water being pumped out. But it's not necessary if you using the right amount of detergent and cycle and temperature for the load.
There are little hiccup during the fill cycle that it will dump the detergent from the main into the prewash cycle because it senses that it need more water. To get around this, wait 5 minuets after the prewash start then add the detergent to the main wash dispenser.
Also it is known to see shavings from the gasket. It's normal in my eye because I have over loaded the machine a couple of times. This is not to worry about unless you see shavings in every load which will not happen!
Main Wash dispenser:
Adding Laundry Booster (Clorox 2 Liquid)
Build a dam (Powder detergent) from back to front of main wash dispenser and add Clorox 2 to fill the gap.
Liquid dispenser:
Fill up to low or max line on dispenser draw.
Add Clorox 2.
It will go above the max line but it will not siphon out!
Extra rinse can be added to all cycles and memorized when cycle is used again.
Extra rinse can be used as a separate cycle via spin cycle
or you may want to do a premier rinse using the Casual cycle/light soil/Eco, which is about 25 minuets long.

please be funny! sense of humor is a must!!
I don't even know where to begin to describe myself but if I can sum it up in this amount of words, I would say that I have been shaped by what I have experienced. I was born in Florida but I grew up in Colombia. I moved back to the U.S when I was 13, this time to Brooklyn, New York. I consider New York home, even though I only lived here for a couple of years, before I went to the Marines, it influenced me a lot. At 18 I joined the Marines, If I could I would do it all over again, I am the person I am today (good and bad) due to the experiences there. I traveled the world and I went to war. The things that I saw weather good or bad gave me a better understanding of the world and allowed me to be open to new ideas and more of an open minded world view. It was all of those experiences that made me who I am today. The general idea people get about me when they meet me is that I am a person with a maturity level way above my age but I still like to have fun like a person of my age. This is hard to understand sometimes, I find it hard to describe myself without it sounding like a bragging contest. So lets list some of the negative: I am open minded but very conservative about some issues. I'm idealistic. It is extremely painful for me to do something i've lost interest in. I am extremely faithful even when I shouldn't be. I am somewhat shallow. I like to make people laugh. I recently moved to New Jersey and I am getting to know the area but I will always consider Brooklyn, NY my home. I spent the last ten years in the Marines and in the Corporate world preparing for my dream job, to make a long story short, I was blessed to get that opportunity. So now that my life is in the right place professionally I would like to share it with someone. I keep a small circle, but there is always room for someone new in my life. I want to meet people with goals, positive thinkers, people with class, good taste and drama free, so that pretty much rules out half of you. I want to be impressed, intellectually that is. I'm pretty forward, life is way to short for me not tell you whats on my mind. I don't spend a lot of time online, I haven't chatted online with anyone in like in like 10 years, so to make a long story short, if I like u, I will tell u, much easier that way. I still believe in actual phone calls and really good dates. Call me old fashion I guess. Please do not try to figure me out or understand me for the mere purpose of catering to it. I would like a person that will be true to themselves and that will compromise enough to be able to be in a relationship without giving up their own identity. After being in the military for so long I have a hard time with personal servitude. In past relationships I actually enjoyed the cooking and cleaning and refuse to let anyone do my laundry or pick up after me. I hope I said enough to paint a picture of who I am without sounding like a crazy person. I have really good sense of humor and do not like to take my self too serious. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ME: I was married before. I did it very young and though It did not work out, I can not categorize it as a mistake. It was during that relationship that I matured (i was very young). Not only did I come out of it wiser but managed to avoid all financial and mental damage that usually comes along with a divorce. For that, I am very thankful.

Word Of The Month: Weapon of Mass Destruction
The word (actually it is a noun phrase) of the month is:
Weapon of Mass Destruction, n., a nuclear, biological, or chemical weapon. Sometimes radiological weapons are included in the definition. Also WMD. In use since at least 1937. Pre-1945 uses of the term referred to conventional weapons of great destructive power, such as the bombing of cities by aircraft, and chemical weapons.
Weapons of mass destruction have been all over the news lately. The United States is gearing up for war in Iraq because Saddam Hussein continues to develop them. The United Nations has sent inspectors to Iraq to ensure that he does not, in fact, possess such weapons. And in the midst of this, North Korea announces that it has a nuclear weapons program, in violation of agreements it has entered into with other nations.
American Dialect: New York Speak
One of the most distinctive dialects in the United States is that found in New York City. Often called Brooklynese (a misnomer as the dialect is common to all five boroughs, plus parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, and not just Brooklyn), the dialect has been introduced to the world via Hollywood, from the Bowery Boys to the Sopranos.
New York is the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the country. Not everyone there speaks with the New York dialect. And unlike the dialects of other regions, like Boston or the South, the New York dialect is class-based. The higher you are on the social ladder, the less likely you are to sound like a New Yorker.
Correction: Hub City
In last month's issue, in the article on New England dialect, we said that Boston was called the Hub or Hub City because Bostonians considered it the hub of the universe. While this may be true in the hearts of Bostonians, it is not the exact origin of the term. The term is from a quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (father of the jurist), who said in the 1858 Autocrat of the Breakfast Table, "Boston Statehouse is the hub of the solar system."
Slang In Buffy The Vampire Slayer (Part II)
(This is part two of a two-part article. The first installment appeared in last month's issue.)
Last month, we took a look at Buffy, The Vampire Slayer (BtVS), a popular US television series that uses slang, both real and created, to set the mood and establish the characters. The show follows the exploits of Buffy Summers, the one girl in all the world endowed with the preternatural powers needed to slay vampires and fight the demonic forces of evil. Aided by her friends Willow and Xander, as well as by her "Watcher" Giles, she works to rid the world of evil, starting with her hometown of Sunnydale, California.
In the first part of the article we examined how BtVS used actual slang terms and phrases to good effect. This month, we will look at how the writers use a few derivational rules and patterns to create a wide variety of unique slang terms. We will also examine the speech patterns of a few of the characters to see how the writers and actors use language to establish and shape the characters.
Word Of The Month: Diplomacy
War is on everyone lips. Will the United States attack Iraq? What is being done to get weapons inspectors back into that country? What is going on at the United Nations Security Council and back in the foreign ministries at capitals around the world? The word of the month for November is:
Diplomacy, n., the conduct of international relations through negotiation, the methods and skills by which this is achieved. From the French diplomatie (pronounced –cie). In English since 1796.
Here we take a look at some of the words associated with diplomacy, what they mean and where they come from.

Blended of 94% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% Semillon, 16% of the 2010 Sauvignon Blanc was naturally fermented in seasoned French oak barriques. It offers a moderate intensity of ripe apple and peach blossom aromas with an undercurrent of fresh cut herbs and oyster shells. Medium bodied with a pleasant suggestion of silkiness to the texture, the palate presents concentrated citrus flavors and refreshing acidity, finishing long and a little chalky. Drinking now, it should keep fresh through 2013.
(10/ 2011)
(includes 5% semillon): Pale bright yellow. Lemon and dusty stone on the nose, with hints of honey and spices. Supple on entry, then tactile and intense but on the tart side, with bracing lemon and grapefruit flavors carrying through to a rather uncompromising, slightly sour finish. Has the courage of its convictions.

For a fair weather shoe that hits all the bases – casual, comfortable and stylish – the walnut brown leather Naot Bjorn slide-on will keep your mind satisfied and your feet healthy all day long. The natural latex and cork footbed has been specially designed by the experts at Naot to sync and mold to the shape of your feet for an incredibly personalized fit. If the built in orthotic becomes worn out or you'd like to swap it for a custom insert, the insole is easily removed and replaced. As part of Naot's Scandinavian Collection, you can supplement the clog with a Scandinavian footbed if you prefer!
Naot Bjorn Walnut Leather Men's Shoe
Features include:
This Style is part of the Men's Scandinavian collection
This style has a medium fit
This Style is uses the FB02-SCANDINAVIAN replacement footbed
I use these for fast and easy slip-on when leaving the house for quick errands or for basic outdoors projects. They are much more comfortable and better looking than the equivalent back-less Merrill's and Keene's that I used to wear in these situations.
My only caution is that Naot's sizing chart is way off the mark. I typically wear a 44; having read already that the Naot runs small, I started off ordering a 45. But even that was too small; I had to go up to the 46 to get the right fit.

"I called to cancel my order. The CSR took down my number and said she would check the warehouse to see if it had been shipped yet. She called me back in a timely manner and informed me that UPS was there and it was too late. She said it wasn't a problem though and told me how to proceed. I got an email from the company when the product arrived back at the warehouse, and then another one that the refund had been processed.It was painless. I am very pleased."
