NEW ORLEANS -- People across the country are trying to lend a hand with the cleanup of the oil spill.
But many are left feeling helpless because according to volunteer coordinators, there's not much hands-on work available because BP is coordinating paid workers for the clean up.
It has locals doing just about anything they can think of to help out.
'It's heartbreaking. You know, it starts to bring you to tears,' said t-shirt shop co-owner Anne Warren.
She said she didn't know what else to do.
'When all of this began I think we, like a lot of people, just felt kind of helpless and wanted to help,' she said.
So, her Oak Street shop, Skip and Whistle, is doing what they do best, making T-shirts. 'We thought of this as a way to gain exposure on a cause and raise money at the same time,' Warren said.
$10 of the $25 shirts will go to help with wildlife impacted by the oil spill. And other t-shirts are popping up all over town, a trend that says more than their catchy messages.
'What can you do? We wanted to do something,' Warren said.
'Unfortunately, there's not a lot to do. There's not a lot for the volunteers to do. A lot of it takes a lot of training,' said Cathy Puett, CEO of Hands On New Orleans.
The group is the non-profit that coordinates volunteer groups in the metro area in the event of a disaster, something Katrina taught them well.
'We get about five to 20 calls a day looking for that type of thing from people who are from out of town,' Puett said.
Seeing images like oil-soaked pelicans and beaches on television is leading thousands to want to get their hands dirty and help.
The Louisiana Serve Commission said they have 6,000 people in their database who are looking to help with the cleanup. Many of them get referred to Hands On New Orleans.
'We have had some people who have actually gotten mad at us. People who are frustrated with us but what they don't understand is we're really limited by again, safety issues, but also by BP,' Puett said.
WWL-TV reporter Katie Moore called BP's volunteer line. They took her personal information and said someone would be in touch, but that the only opportunities available are administrative or picking up trash on a beach before the oil gets there.
Projects that allow people to get down to the oiled coast, like a coastal mapping effort, are surprisingly rare.
'We have six slots available,' Puett said.
Some are satisfied donating money. The Greater New Orleans Foundation started a gulf coast oil spill fund to help local fishermen.
'Since that time, it's been a month or so now, we've received about $160,000,' said Marco Cocito-Monoc.
It's all the result of that feeling of helplessness from an out-of-control disaster that no one can wrap their mind around. For some, the only way to try, is one t-shirt at a time.
When volunteer opportunities do become available, Hands On New Orleans sends out blast emails to everyone on their list.
You can sign up through their website, http://www.handsonneworleans.org.

Family learns of student's death on Facebook
Officials at the university say the wiring for a surveillance system in the dormitory where Benjamin died was already installed. Theresa Boyd, director of communications at the school, said the cameras were on backorder and had not yet arrived when Benjamin died.
The cameras are now being installed in residence hall elevators, Boyd said.
Martinelli said she's confident that police are working diligently to follow up on leads, but private investigators can often provide valuable assistance, she said.
"On any homicide, they're going to work around the clock aggressively every minute, and they're doing that," she said.
She said Jasmine Benjamin was a strong student who showed great potential. "Her favorite color was purple, her nickname was Jazzy," she said.
"She wanted to help people, plain and simple," her stepfather, James Jackson, told WSB-TV. "That was her goal in life. That's all she talked about since she was young - `I want to be able to help people.'"
Valdosta State campus police, city police and the GBI were working together to conduct interviews and collect evidence, the university said in a statement Tuesday. University officials said they couldn't release any further information.
Martinelli hopes students away at college keep in touch with their parents - and give them the passwords to social networking sites and their cell phones in case anything happens.
"If you have passcodes to your computer, your phone, please tell your parents," she said. "Don't tell everybody in the world, but tell your parents your passcodes."
She said some of the best advice parents can give students is this: "They should listen to their gut," she said. "If they walk into a situation and it's not feeling right, leave."

Corporation also allocates Rs.1.8 crore for laying tar roads
Special funds have been earmarked by the Madurai Corporation for laying paver block paths and tar roads in the South and West Masi Streets in the city.
A sum of Rs.54 lakh will be spent for laying paver block paths and Rs.1.8 crore for laying tar roads.

A new cell culture supplement, platelet lysate, was evaluated with reference to fetal bovine serum (FBS), an established industrial medium for animal cell culture. Chemical and bacteriological profiles were conducted including the presence of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). PDGF was detected in the platelet lysate but it was not present in FBS. The platelet lysate medium demonstrated lack of microorganisms, mycoplasma and endotoxins. The platelet lysate was investigated in culture studies (cell growth, viability and product formation) towards a number of target cells including myelomas, hybridomas, hepatocytes, fibroblasts and epithelial cells. In general the platelet lysate medium supported cell growth and maintained viabilities comparable or superior to fetal bovine serum. Productivity studies of antibodies (hybridomas) and transferrin (hepatocytes) showed similar or enhanced production in platelet-derived medium in comparison with FBS.

Football: Manchester City and United drop points as Diouf's solo goal stun champions
Published on Aug 31, 2014 12:14 AM
LONDON (Reuters) - Champions Manchester City suffered a stunning 1-0 home defeat by Stoke City on Saturday as their cast of attacking talents were blunted in a lifeless display that cost them their first dropped points of the season.
Mame Biram Diouf scored a superb individual goal to silence the City fans who have become used to seeing one-sided romps at their Etihad stadium, especially against the Premier League's lesser lights.
It was an equally miserable day for City's rivals Manchester United whose frustrations continued in a 0-0 draw at promoted Burnley with British-record signing Angel Di Maria unable to spark an improvement in their fortunes.
Di Maria, signed from Real Madrid for £59.7 million pounds (S$124 million) on Tuesday, showed flashes of his talent in a 70-minute debut, but United still looked short of attacking ideas, claiming only their second point from their opening three league games.

Ergonomics problems cost Singapore $3.5 billion a year
Published on Mar 27, 2014 12:11 PM
Stiff necks from bad posture at work, strained backs from lifting boxes and numb wrists from too much typing - these and other ergonomic health issues cost Singapore a whopping $3.5 billion a year, said the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Council.
Ergonomics is the study of how workers interact with equipment and the environment, and bad ergonomic practices can lead to "work-related musculoskeletal disorders" affecting muscles, tendons and nerves.
To help firms tackle this issue, the Council on Thursday launched a set of guidelines on improving ergonomics in the workplace. These include tips on how to lift heavy objects safely and good office workstation design.
The Council is also developing an e-learning module on awareness of ergonomic problems. Firms which want to redesign their workplaces for better ergonomics can apply for funding under the Government's WorkPro scheme.

This year at dahi handi, Saurabh Kanade, 11, was very bored. Kanade just cheered and watched his team from a distance. Why? The Supreme Court recently directed the state government to raise the minimum age for participation in dahi handi celebrations to 12 years. Kanade was not the only one, like him there were many others, who now have to wait for a few years to experience the thrill.
Kanade, is a member of the Blue Star Pathak of Century Colony, Prabhadevi. "It's been three years since I had been breaking matkis. I have even climbed a six-layer pyramid. This year, I didn't do anything," he said.
For the Dalvi twins, it's not too bad. Prapti and Arya (10), and have been a part of Bal Mitra Hanuman Mandal in Worli. Prapti participated in the 10ft ladies dahi handi celebration, where there are just three layers. "My mom had asked me not to take part this year. She told me only to go with the ladies group. Last year, I had won Rs2,000 and received a trophy. I donated half of it to a temple and I partied with the remaining amount," she said.
Arya cannot wait to turn 12. That's when he can again participate in the festival. "I'll climb again when both of us turn 12. I'll just watch and dance the next two years," said Arya, who studies in Our Lady Of Salvation High School, Dadar.
It's but obvious that children are disappointed but they do understand the reasons behind such a move.
Mahesh Bhosale, Pranay's father, who belongs to the Jari-Mari Mandal, Girgaum, said, "My son has been a part of the human pyramid for the past four years, however, this year after the apex court's ordered, our mandal did not allow him to participate. The mandal also conducted a thorough check regarding their age via birth certificate and only then did they allow them to participate."

Berkshire Bucks are an alternative currency that was launched in 2006 in Western Massachussets. First created by the non-profit the E.F. Schumacher Society, Berkshires continue to grow in populatirty. To date 2.7 million have been circulated and over four hundred business accept them.
Berkshire Bucks make sense as they encourage people to spend their money locally and also give the consumer a five percent discount. Thus, when you go to bank to exchange cash for Berkshires you recieve 105 Berkshire for every 100 dollars of normal currency.
Today four different banks with a total of thirteen branches accept Birkshires and the future of the currency looks bright. Future innovation may include ATMs for Berkshires and a loan program. Like the Green America Exhcange this alternative currency helps show the way toward creating an economic system that rewards sustainable, local, and bottom-up economic activity.

I don't think I'd be happy with most of your typical web/database programming jobs out there, so there's things I tend to de-emphasize the importance of.
HOWEVER, I agree with vin about just starting with C++ (though if you already know a little of something else, I could certainly understand that biasing your decision). The main difference in learning curve is memory management, and learning pointers. Understanding how pointers/referencing works is going to make your life easier in darn near any language, including the ones referenced above (though you can get away without it in most garbage collected languages, it still helps). The main difference is, going from C++ to Java or a .NET language is pretty simple- going the other way, not so much, because you'll be clueless when it comes to memory management and pointers if you go that route.
I learned C++ out of "C++ How to program" by Deitel and Deitel... adequate... nothing spectacular... /shrug. Of course the C++ Bible is "The C++ Programming Language" by Stroustrup, but it's more of a reference volume than a textbook. Though if you have a little bit of programming experience under your belt, that may suffice.
I learned Java out of "Java in a nutshell". Still more of a reference book.... though again, once you have an object oriented language under your belt, it's not that hard to move between 'em with a little bit of sample code to get you started.
I do think you should pick a language and master it. Once you've done that's relatively easy to pick up another language from a few code samples and online references, esp one with a similar paradigm (ie, once you pick up the basic concepts and syntax of any OOP language, it's pretty friggin simple to start coding in a different one pretty quickly).
Thanks for your reply. I started learning Java in my university then I took a small course about C++ and YES I was clueless when it came to pointers!
But things went well later.
Anyway, in Java I could create GUI and I learned about OOP:Inheritance-Encapsulation-Exceptions I don't know if there were other stuff but I don't think they were deep enough to make me fully everything. So, I want to make a clean start to make up for everything I missed. btw, what language is mostly used in modern games?
Also don't forget to enlighten me with your "perfect combination".

PORTLAND Portland Public Schools canceled its board meeting Friday in wake of a snow storm that's paralyzing the metro area. Officials were scheduled to discuss an impending teachers strike and a new meeting was set for Monday at 6 p.m.
On Wednesday night, teachers voted to strike in a closed-door union meeting at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
Background: Portland teachers vote to walk out Feb. 20
A spokesman for the Portland Association of Teachers told KGW the vote was nearly unanimous.
Teachers are required to give the district at least 10 working days notice before they could walk off the job. They voted to set the walkout date for Thursday, Feb. 20.
No teacher ever wants to go on strike, we want to be in classrooms with our students, said PAT president Gwen Sullivan.
If the district s teachers walk off the job, it would be the first time in Portland history.
Portland School Board Co-Chairs Pam Knowles and Greg Belisle said they were very disappointed that the PAT voted to authorize a strike.
The next mediation session with PPS is set for Sunday, Feb. 9. If a contract deal is reached, the walkout would be canceled.
On Feb. 1, PPS released its mediation proposal to teachers.
But Sullivan said the teachers feel the latest contract offer still does not address class size relief or support the students and schools who need it most. She said it also does not provide fair compensation and would force them to teach to the test.
The district has roughly 2,900 teachers and 48,000 students.
In a letter to parentssent out before the strike vote, PPS Superintendent Carol Smith promised that the district was making preparations to keep classes going and that negotiations with teachers would continue.
Our goal is to reach an agreement that adds teachers to schools, adds school days, raises teacher pay and maintains strong benefits, Smith said.
PPS has been notifying their contracted substitute teachers that work will be available if a strike occurs. The teachers union has complained that PPS is pressuring substitutes to cross the picket line.

24 Jul What to Wear: DC Summer Internship
by ATFDC Contributor Kayla Phillips
DC is a city full of interns. I, myself am an intern at the Library of Congress. Today I'm going to give some advice on how to dress for your internship. First of all, I have noticed that DC is really hot during the summer, so you want to wear fabrics that breathe well like cotton, this means no wool. If you are like me and have to walk to work, and have to walk on marble floors it is probably a better idea to wear flats than to wear heels. Steve Madden is one of my favorites for flats. And don't forget there is a Steve Madden store in Georgetown. However, if you are comfortable wearing heels make sure they are two inches or less, unless you work/intern in a fashion magazine, then you can take more risks.
Keep makeup casual and classy. Remember that you are representing your company, so you can't show too much of your personal style, but that doesn't mean you can't have some fun. You can always add cute accessories like leopard print ballet flats, or colorful jewelry, or a belt. I suggest wearing neutral colors like navy, beige, white, or gray and adding color with accessories. You could also wear a printed skirt and a neutral top or vice versa. The goal is to look comfortable and polished.
Kayla is a senior attending Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. She spent the last year exploring Aix-en-Provence, France and studying at a French university. Now she is here to explore her country's capital. As a contributor for All Things Fashion DC she will write about her experiences in Washington DC.

Herman Echevarría
Chairman & CEO
Herman is "The Man." Throughout his professional life, Herman has received much recognition for his accomplishments. He was recognized by Miami Business Review as one of the top 100 most influential leaders in the area. He is currently a Board Member of the Beacon Council, a public/private partnership that serves as the economic development agency for Miami-Dade and on the Mount Sinai Hospital Executive Committee. He also served as a Board Member at St. Thomas University, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Miami Symphony Orchestra, and as a member of the State of Florida Minority Business Development Council. In addition, Herman is the "White Knight" who conceived and brokered a plan to save the historic, publicly owned and cash-strapped Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts in Miami.
In Herman Echevarría's own words...
Obama con Gandules
When President Obama went to Puerto Rico to hustle votes, he made sure to name drop "arroz con gandules." He didn't use the more widely known "arroz con frijoles" linked to Cuban or Mexican cuisine. Instead he mentioned the pigeon pea and rice dish more popular among Puerto Ricans.
There's an app for that…

For almost 500 years, Vedic hymns were never written. It's not that the written script of the language had not developed but there was fear that the written text would fall in the hands of undesirable people and the monopoly over this knowledge would be lost. So, an elaborate system was devised to pass on the knowledge of the Vedas from one generation to the next, and only a chosen few could be the recipients.
Anybody who had mastered this knowledge enjoyed a position of privilege and influence in that society. Once the rigid system of social stratification in the form of four Varnas (castes) was in place, it was considered safe to have all the four Vedas in the form of written text. Reading and recitation of these texts was taught in gurukuls where pupils belonging only to higher castes could enter.
After a journey of 5,000 years, we are witnessing the same kind of rigid hierarchy in our modern day gurukuls, such as colleges and universities of higher education. Now, the access to the most sought after knowledge is available to just one class — the rich. At the top of the heap are universities in the US and Europe. It is a well-known fact that the children of moneybags (also known as captains of industry) get their degrees from the top colleges abroad. It is indeed tough for the children of ordinary mortals to get an entry in to these western gurukuls. It is no secret that children of big donors are given preferential treatment and they don't have to stand in serpentine queues for admissions. And this happens virtually everywhere, at home and abroad. No wonder that in several Ivy League colleges, we have buildings and academic chairs named after the fathers and forefathers of some industry captains.
Meanwhile, our public colleges and universities that had served us well until about 30 years ago have been on a downward spiral. These are the same universities that had produced some world renowned scholars in the past but have been ruined by neglected and political meddling. Mumbai University is one such example.
Decline of public universities in our country began after higher education was opened up to private entrepreneurs. Today, we have more than 500 universities — public, private and deemed. The value of the degree given by some of these private universities is not even worth the paper it is printed on. We do not know how good some of these institutions are in imparting knowledge, but we do know for sure that they are very efficient in printing all kinds of degrees, diplomas and certificates each year and making good money in the name of providing 'quality education'.
We have this mess in higher education because the society and the State have abdicated their responsibilities of educating the citizens. The other blunder has been to allow market forces to have a free run. If we want to build a just and strong society, we need to make quality education accessible to our deserving young men and women, irrespective of their economic status.

Nate Silver Wins Today's Election
How the statistician has permanently changed the polling game
Today's election may be a contest between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, but for hordes of pundits and political news junkies it is also, at least in part, a referendum on the statistician Nate Silver.
Ever since he correctly called all 35 Senate races and 49 out of the 50 states in the presidential race of 2008, Silver, who began his career analyzing baseball, has become the urim and thummim of American statistics. (In 2010, The New York Times acquired his blog, FiveThirtyEight). As November 6 neared, Silver's defenders and detractors have doubled down on their emotional investments: the former spread a Facebook meme that urged fellow fans to keep calm and trust Nate Silver, while the latter accused the statistician of everything from unmerited celebrity to partisan hackery.
Both sides are missing the point. The real story about Silver isn't whether he's right or wrong—his gift, as too many dunderheads fail to understand, isn't sooths
To understand just how consequential his contribution has been, it is instructive to look at the landscape he has disrupted. And that landscape was, simply put, framed by framing. Media frames, as Todd Gitlin put it in his book about the way the press covered the social movements of the 1960s, are "principles of selection, emphasis, and presentation composed of little tacit theories about what exists, what happens, and what matters," narratives that are deeply qualitative, often anecdotal, and help both the media and its consumers make sense of a deeply chaotic world. This is what MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was talking about when he said, after being confronted with proof that his accusations of liberal media bias against Romney's wealth were wildly inaccurate, that "the general impressions of people like myself… does count in the perspective that active news consumers have." Scarborough candor is refreshing; pundits, as he admits, generally rely more on their guts and less on their brains to predict election outcomes.
Silver's model is anathema to such modes of thinking. Like all worthy scientists, he begins his work by admitting what he doesn't know, and proceeds by culling together everything that he does. The result strikes some in the press as odd. "If there's one thing we know," David Brooks wrote recently in The New York Times, "
Like Freud or Boas, Silver is interested less in unlocking the knotted psyche of any single individual—a hopeless task—and more in drawing patterns for collective human behavior. Regardless of what happens today, and whether or not the reality matches his probabilities, by taking this bold approach, Nate Silver is going to be perfectly right.

|Separate WC's
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
"This property is fully licensed and registered with the Tourist Board of Portugal and is compliant with Portuguese laws relating to holiday rentals. Licence number 9707/AL"
'Journey's End' (Monte Lemos 9C) is one of a crescent of fourteen town houses which are all privately owned. The house is set in beautiful, mature, landscaped gardens with colourful planting and lawned areas. The magnificent weir pool being the central feature. Both the bedrooms, one double/one twin, and the bathroom are on the ground floor. The double has patio doors leading onto a south facing terrace overlooking the enclosed gardens to the swimming pool.
Upstairs, patio doors lead from the lounge to the larger balcony, facing south. Along with A/con a log burner is fitted, making this an ideal base for a winter stay. There is a cloakroom and modern spacious dining/kitchen with full cooker, f-freezer, m-wave and w-machine. A balcony, which overlooks the town to the west and enjoys the evening sun, leads off the kitchen. English Sky TV, music system, Ipad dock, Wii, PS2, Books, DVD and video are provided along with CD's, DVD's and video's to amuse Adults and Children. WiFi has recently been installed.
Car Hire and things!: Although recommended, it is not essential if you just want to relax around the pool and Luz beach. A train from Faro to Lagos is very cheap. An interesting journey! Taxis and shuttle buses are available direct from the airport. A good supermarket is just a 5 minute walk as are several excellent restaurants. (75 I am told, I must have a count) The local bus service is inexpensive and reliable. Taxi from Lagos is about €7.
An abundance of excursions will take you all over the Algarve. These are itemised in the red folder, our favorites are probably the Jeep Safari up into the Mountains, an interesting day out, lots of history, or the Dolphin Seafari, the boat trip has to be experienced. All local pick ups. Adrian can arrange everything for you and probably have more suggestions himself, just ask him.
Around the Area: The western area is the least developed part of the Algarve. It is famous for its coastal scenery and wonderful beaches, those on the west coast being especially popular with surfers. Walkers will enjoy the Cabo de Sao Vincente National park and the mountains to the north. The nearby historic town of Silves and the mountain area around Monchique are well worth visiting. Cape St Vincent, the most South Westerly point in mainland Europe is only 30 minutes away by car. The area has many attractions for children including a zoo and a water theme park. You can even swim with Dolphins. The various Safaris, water and land born, out of Lagos are enormous fun. Again Adrian will advise and help. He is not quite superman but very close.
Low Season: The area is very suitable for out of season breaks. Winter weather is mild and usually sunny with daytime temperatures in the 15-20C range. Most restaurants remain open all year and there are always visitors around. However, it does get a bit chilly at night. This is where the log burner, Air conditioning and electric radiators come into their own. An ongoing comment in the visitors book is that the pictures do not do the house justice, it is a lot bigger and open than they portray. We have now fitted a childproof stair gate and installed a PS2 and a Wii with various games. Opened in November 2008 is the 'Autodromo do Algarve' This is fully approved by the FIA for F1 GP's and the FIM for Superbikes. The circuit is just a 20 minute drive from the house. Golfers are well catered for, with 6 courses within a 30 minute drive. Boa Vista being the nearest at just a 5 minute drive.
I am a Farm Manager in North East Essex, my wife is the secretary, livery yard manager and all round good sort. We have been here since 1983 and for a while yet. As I have to live in the farmhouse, 'Journey's End' is the only house we own.
Roger & Margaret Frere purchased this house in 2003
Went to Luz with a friend for a boys break in 2002, Got off the plane on the 14th January and it was 26 deg C. Came home and told Margaret, we are selling our house in the UK and buying one in Luz. We went out in May and she agreed there and then. Took us a while to find the right place, regardless of our budget we found it and have never regretted it for one second. The Portuguese people are friendly and welcoming. The majority speak English which in some ways is unfortunate as there is no motivation to learn the language. But there Beer & coffee is fairly universal.!!
Although we look at it as an investment, it has to pay it's way. Whatever we bought had to reach our standard. A place that we liked and were comfortable with, easily rent-able, somewhere that was a home from home. A place that guests would want to return to year after year. That has certainly been the case, we have one family going out in June of 2015 for their 10th time.Two separate families have just booked for 2015 for their sixth visit.
It is quiet, relaxing, but within walking distance of all the amenities in Luz. The furnishings are of high quality, fitted out personally for us. We are told we have thought of everything, maybe you can suggest something that we have overlooked!!
Second visit. This time was even better than last year. Felt like we were returning home. Will be going again in 2013. Weather fantastic, thank god for the air conditioning!. Pool superb, beach is just the best. Met some really nice people who were also staying which was great as the kids all played together. And met up with a family from last year again. Local shops are great & we had some great meals out, returning to a couple of our favorite restaurants. Cant recommend highly enough.
23rd Sept to 7th October 2008
Just returned from one of the best holidays ever. The peaceful resort of Praia da Luz is thoroughly recommended if you need a relaxing holiday. We found the local people friendly and helpful.
The house was well maintained and comfortably furnished, it lacked nothing from the air-conditioning to the stock of DVDs and games to watch and play on the very rare wet day. The gardens and large pool are of a very high standard and beautifully clean. Compared to other properties we looked at it was very good value for money. It exceeded our expectations and the pictures on the website did not do it justice.
The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need to cook the most sophisticated meal, or you can eat out at dozens of restaurants and bars down near the beach which serve every kind of food that you might fancy from English, Indian, Chinese and African. There is even an English and Irish pub.
The beach itself is beautiful, overlooked by the Black Rock and surrounded by blue sea. Sit at an outside café, watch the many water sports, or just enjoy the sunshine.
Lagos was well worth a visit with its busy marina and shops - an opportunity for rides to watch dolphins or deep sea fishing.
The small surrounding villages were also very beautiful.
Finally, the English manager Chris was worth his weight in gold - especially when we locked ourselves out. It was very reassuring knowing we could phone a number and speak to a fellow Englishman.
All in all the perfect holiday.
Peter & Sheila, Essex
We liked the size of the house and the location very much.The system with the key box worked quite well and when we needed something it was done quickly.
We also appreciated the flexibility that we could have come later or left earlier.
I stayed at the property with my partner and 3 children (17, 14 and 12) for a week in August. There was all the home comforts you could need and even in high season the lovely pool and garden were not crowded. Peaceful and relaxing and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, beach (which is beautiful). Would definately recommend to anyone who is looking for an authentic visit to the Algarve. Hopefully we will be back again to visit before to long!!!
An extra big thanks to our hosts who were more than helpful and went out of their way to ease our booking and make our trip a success!
Our family of 5 (children aged 13/7/4) are 'Journey's End' regulars at this stage, this being our 5th visit, which in itself tells you our view of both the property and its location. Delighted to say that all feedback in our previous reviews still applies - very nice, spacious and well equipped property, lovely pool/grounds, 10 minute walk to Luz with its beautiful beach, 2 decent supermarkets and plentiful good restaurants/bars, short drive to more substantial town of Lagos (well worth a visit with its old town and marina), all other Algarve attractions (waterparks etc) within easy reach by car. In summary, 10/10 again this year. Thanks again Roger/Margaret.
A suberb comfortable well appointed property,if anything the promotion literature under states the excellent accomadation provided.We fully intend to return and have already recomended this to both family and friends. We found the local resturuants in both Luz & Lagos excellent in choice, service & price and even though we were staying "out of season"we were spoilt for places to eat . Many many thanks for providing such a very nice holiday home Regards Ken & Anne
This lovely villa was much more spacious than we had imagined, with all possible equipment and facilities. The two bedrooms are a good size and we had three children in the second bedroom with room to spare. The pool is lovely, and all the inflatables provided meant hours of great fun! There is a private patio area to sit in, and a lovely balcony upstairs too. The villa was clean and while we were there wi-if was installed which is another asset. We love the village of Luz, and there are lots of restaurants to choose from. The kitchen is so well Equipped you can easily cater at home. The beach is lovely, as are the many beaches you can easily visit around from this base. Lagos is always a favourite for atmosphere and shopping in an evening. Roger was great at communicating and answering any questions before we went. We would definitely recommend this villa to any couple or family, and our children who are 12,10, and 9 loved it and said it was the best holiday ever! Thank you!
Praia da Luz is just 7 kilometres from Lagos, the main town of The Western Algarve. Lagos is a beautiful town with a marina, restaurants and bars. Praia da Luz is more of a village, but boasts some excellent restaurants and bars. It has a long sandy beach with water sports and is ideal for children. Within a 20 minute drive you have a choice of 4 superb golf courses, Parque de Floresta, Palmares, Boavista and Penina. It is a drive of approximately 30 minutes to the west coast and the spectacular quiet beaches of this most South Westerly point of Europe.
Other Activities: sleeping, Eating, relaxing!!! Oh and WiFi now installed.
