Apartment / 2 bedrooms / sleeps 4
|Key Info
This stunning, brand new apartment is just 6 metres from the sea, inside an old Tuscan Villa, located in a tiny, wonderful rocky bay called "Le Cannelle". It is as if you were on a boat: you can be the very first one to swim in the sea in the morning, or the very last one to enjoy the wonderful colors of the sunset on the sea, having an aperitive on your terrace, when everybody else has already gone home.
This beachfront apartment is located inside a luxurious residence, just in front of the Islands of Giglio and of Giannutri, which you can admire from the terrace. It is surrounded by a wonderful, wild nature and a transparent blue sea full of fish.
The apartment, full of charme, welcomes guests in a double living room with an open space kitchen. While cooking you can watch the sea. The extensible dining table seats 10 persons, and there is another dining table on the terrace, amidst wonderful mediterranean plants. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 5 burner gas stove and two induction cookers, electric oven, fridge and freezer, dishwasher and microwave . On the ground floor there is also a bathroom with shower.
A modern, open stair leads up to the bedrooms. On the first floor there is the master bedroom with a double bed, a little terrace and and a bathroom with shower. On the third floor there is the second bedroom with two single beds, and the third bathroom with bathtub. In some areas of the bedrooms the ceiling is only 2 meters high.
There is air conditioning in the two bedrooms and indipendent heating in all the rooms. In the living room there are two fans against the heat.
This place is wonderful also out-season, when you can enjoy the infinite peace and silence of the nature.
If you have children, this is just the ideal place to spend a holiday, as there are no cars, no dangers, just the sun, the sea and many other children to play with.
The terrace is our private property and can be used only by you. But the neighbor (=owner of the apartment next to ours) is allowed to use the stairs in the corner of the terrace to reach his home.

SMITHFIELD – For the second straight year, the CVS Caremark Charity Classic features a major champion from the previous calendar year.
Jason Dufner, victor of the 2013 PGA Championship, was announced as part of the 2014 CVS field at a press conference Tuesday morning at Special Olympics Rhode Island. This will mark Dufner's first-ever appearance at the annual event that specializes in raising money for local nonprofits.
Last year's CVS field included Bubba Watson, who had won the 2012 Masters. The popular lefty has gone on to add a second green jacket since last June's CVS Classic.
Tournament co-hosts Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade have once again cobbled together a strong field. Besides getting a commitment from Dufner, the two Rhode Island natives were able to reel in several past CVS winners.
The CVS champs from a year ago are returning to defend the crown in Steve Stricker and Bo Van Pelt. Matt Kuchar and Zach Johnson, who teamed up to capture the event in 2011, are also returning to Rhode Island Country Club.
As always, there's a strong LPGA Tour presence. Headlining the group is 19-year-old Lexi Thompson, who will be making her third appearance at the CVS Classic. Last month she captured the first LPGA Tour major of the season, winning the Kraft Nabisco Championship by three strokes over Michelle Wie.
Julie Inkster is back for her seventh appearance at the CVS Classic while Peter Jacobson returns for the 16th consecutive year.
The rest of the field and playing partners will be announced at a later date. This year's CVS Classic will take place June 22-24. To purchase tickets, fans can call 866-CVS-9441 or visit cvscharityclassic.com

Harer Things to Do
In a country with so many poor people and not enough jobs, you will come across men and often young boys who offer to shine your shoes. The young men in the photos operate near one of the gates. They perform a first class job on any shoes. They have professioanl quality polishes, brushes and are expertly trained. You can pay around 10 Birr (about...more
visit rimbaud museum
French poet, dromomaniac, hash monster and bon viveur Arthur Rimbaud relocated here in 1884, and became a close personal friend to Haile Selasie's father – the Governor of Harar. There is a museum in the walled city commemorating Rimbaud's life and works.more
one of the most special experience is to feed the hyenas, evreytime by 7 pm a bit outside of center of hararteh hyenas are so cute and are so thankful to be feeded and take care ofmore
Coffee was 'invented' here in Ethiopia and you can see how they produce it for export for free here in Harar. Nure is a coffee company you can stop in for a brief tour. It only takes minutes. They have their old equipment and modern day roasters inside. The staff will happily explain the process of making the coffee, from picking, to roasting,...more
Harari Cultural Centre
If you look at the scarf of the young girl of the first picture, you see the colours of the Ethiopian flag, but you know you are in Harar if you look at the baskets decorating the wall behind her! The colours, shapes, patterns of these baskets are typical Harari, and these are part of the Harar culture; probably because of the displays you find in...more
Harar beer
Harar, fourth holy city of Islam has changed a lot since Ethiopian take over, in some way. . . . one can drink alcoholic beverages here, there are bars, and. . . there is even a beer brewed here! Ethiopian beers (Except the traditional tej), are lager type beers and, if not always the best on the planet, they are really enjoyable with a meal or at...more
Walk along the ramparts
This very easy walk, for about two hours you can walk around the city on a newly paved street (thanks Unesco) lets you discover the gates, the renovated walls, which, if not very impressive, are a nice sight whilst strolling along and give an idea of how Harar was secluded for some centuries.As there is not a lot of traffic outside the city, people...more
Arthur Rimbaud Centre
This is probably one of the most beautiful houses of Harar, but Rimbaud did not live here, as this house has been built after his death! Here too, it is a house built by an Indian trader and thanks to many French sponsors, this house has been renovated recently and it hosts now a small museum, a library, (books about Rimbaud, but also many other...more
The Ras Tafari House
The house of Haile Selassie (The Ras Tafari, ruler of Tafari) is a strange building here in Africa, with these Indian woodcarvings above the main door (picture 1); this house belonged before to an Indian trader and now has become the Sherif Harar Museum, a municipal museum, displaying a bit a messy sampling of local art, souvenirs of the recent and...more
Makina Gigir: the sewing machines street...
Once you forget a bit you are a foreigner here, and also get relaxed about the crowd pushing you from every sides (keep tightly your belongings, and your bags closed), you really feel plunged back in time when walking up this street, and you can enjoy the local atmosphere. . . and look around you; you may even feel the need for having more eyes in...more
Makina Gigir: the sewing machines street
The name of one of the busiest streets of Harar (Makina Gigir) comes from the noise of the sewing machine which work here from dawn to night, and it is supposed to express the noise of the machines. . gigi-gigi-gigi. . . . . Women like beautiful coloured, well cut and sewn clothes, but it is the men here, who are the tailors, and along a 200 m long...more
Green mosque
The original Great Mosque has been destroyed by Menelik II, but all other mosques survived, and now, the great mosque of Harar is the Jami Mosque, built in the 13th century; non-Muslim cannot visit this mosque which contains the memorial of Gragn, the imam who proclaimed jihad against Christian Ethiopia. . . A high wall, erected some 50 years ago...more
Plenty of mosques
There are about 100 mosques in Harar, and where ever you are or look, the probability a mosque in within sight is high! A foreigner cannot visit the mosques here, but at least you can look at them, and in fact the mosques give a charming atmosphere to the city. There are all sorts of mosques, and if some are well visible on the main streets, others...more
Mehdane Alem Church
One of the first things Menelik II did when he took over Harar and integrated it to the Ethiopian Empire, was to destroy the Great Mosque and replace it by an Orthodox church: Mehdane Alem was built in 1887. Except for masses, this church seems closed, but you can walk around and get an idea of the strength of the local's faith.Colours, again...more
Quiet streets
The side streets of Harar are coloured, and generally very quiet, and there is some poesy (not Rimbaud sensibility) to enjoy there; the colours add to the atmosphere. . . . During the hot hours of the day, in the shade of the walls, enjoy the quietude, look at the few people passing by (picture 2), follow the bigger streets which are also quiet at...more

Harer Transportation
Experience Ethiopian buses !
many guides still write about the famous train linking Djibouti to Addis Abeba; unfortunately, this train does not operate anymore, and even goods transportation stopped one year ago, on that line; in the past, the train stopped at Dire Dawa, and from there, you could go to Harar in less than two hours with a bus or taxi. So, getting to Harar by...more

Best coffee in Africa?
Not a big place and you can walk through it in a couple of minutes..longer if you stop to smell the coffee. While I do not drink the stuff myself.

Harer Local Customs
Smiling faces
As a tourist, a foreigner, you may sometimes feel "harassed" by the kids begging for some bir, a pen or whatever they see or think you can give them; don't give, not because you have a dry heart, but it may create bad habits and the relationship with locals could be false, not honest in some way; better is to talk, with smiles, gestures and a few...more
A very important East African crop is coffee, and if one can get addicted to coffee, the effects are way less harmful than the ones of khat.And many people consider coffee has its origins on the high plateaus of Ethiopia, and indeed, some of the best coffees in the world are grown in Ethiopia, and specially in the Harar area!Like in other places of...more
Wood is a very important raw material

Harer Warnings and Dangers
You need to be very careful taking pictures even near these guys. The men of the Oromo tribe come into Harar to buy goods before returning to their villages. They are very easy to spot by their large bushy hair, blue clothes, weapons and not very happy looks. Yes – I said weapons. They carry clubs and a combination short axe & spear. You could kill someone with it. These guys don't speak Amharic or Harari and always seem jumpy and paranoid. They will make signs with their hands that you can take pictures, but they want $5. Take their picture without payment and your camera and/or head will probably be hit with one of their weapons.
I am really not joking. Just look at the pictures I took secretly and they are still unhappy by even me looking at them. They even scared some of the street sellers.
Be very careful. Any other folks who might object in Harar with you taking pictures will only shout at you. Nothing else.Related to:

Harer Off The Beaten Path
How could you visit Harar and not see this????? The hyenas are tame if not timid around humans....maybe because the get feed by them every night or they beat them when the tourists are not around..anyway There are two places to see this at night around 7pm. On spot is down the road from Fallana Gate (where I saw them) and the other is between Sanga Gate and Erer Gate. If you go with Abdul he will hit you up for cab fare which will double as lights for the show. If you have a cheap Nikon like I do will give you plenty of pics with glare from the headlights. Basically its a local who sits on the ground in front of the hungry critters with some short sticks for placing scaps of meat that get dumped into his basket. You will get the chance to feed them as I did..you then realise why they use sticks for feeding. The feeder will even put a stick in his mouth and let them grab a quick bite.
Try and negotiate on the price as the show lasts about 15 min depending on the crowd which can be small depending on the night.Related to:

While Harar has its share of beggers it is nothing like Addis and other parts of Ethiopia. In fact it is somewhat recent in origin here. Bottom line..don't give money to them...the locals discourage it and even frown on it to a certain extent.

POMEROY — Freezing temperatures both in and out of the water didn't stop more than 20 people from plunging into the Ohio River on Saturday afternoon.
A total of 24 people plunged into the frigid river from the Pomeroy amphitheater as part of a fundraiser for the Meigs County Dog Shelter.
Those 24 jumpers raised $5,901 for the shelter — and with donations still coming in, that amount is expected to eclipse the $6,000 mark.
Event organizer and participant Rich Wamsley said he had four goals for the event — all of which were not only met, but exceeded.
"My goals were personal sponsorship of $500 — I tripled that. My goal for a total raised at the event was $3,000 — we doubled that and the expectation of at least eight jumpers — we tripled that. We also wanted it would be safe and fun for everyone — and we accomplished that," Wamsley said. "There were absolutely no injuries and several people have already contacted me wanting to know if we are going to do it again next year. I think everyone had a blast.
"So overall, either I set my goals too low or it turned into a huge success."
Wamsley expressed his gratitude to the many sponsors and supporters of the event, as well as to all of those taking part to help the dogs.
"The parking lot was full with onlookers and supporters," he said. "EMS had a squad on hand for us. Commissioner Randy Smith was there for support. Cliff Thomas volunteered his services with his Skye Production DJ Equipment. Sheriff Keith Wood was there showing his support, and Meigs County Dog Warden was on hand to meet and answer questions."
"I want to thank the Pomeroy village for allowing us to do this, all of the businesses that donated a prize and all the people who sponsored someone for this event," Wamsley said. "One-hundred percent of the money has already been turned over to the Meigs Dog Shelter. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Meigs County is my home for a special reason. Our community rocks."
Tara Rose won first place in the most amount raised with $1,640 as of Monday afternoon. Rose received a flat-screen television from the Meigs County Canine Crew, a gift certificate from Pizza Dan's and a trophy.
Rose said the biggest question she has heard about the event was why she would want to participate.
"The biggest question is why? I jumped because I feel sorry for the dogs at the shelter. I figured if I could help by plunging, then why not?" Rose said. "A few minutes of being wet and cold was worth all the donations I collected. I want to thank all of the sponsors for the event. I had sponsors from Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, Arizona and California. Also everyone has asked if it was cold — yes, it was. And several people have asked if I would be doing it again. Sure, just not anytime soon."
The Meigs County Bikers received the trophy for the most-listed sponsors. Several others won prizes that were donated by other local businesses. Becky Aker received a gift certificate from Pizza Dans for the best costume. Aker was dressed as a penquin with a tu-tu. Colten Walters received recognition for the best plunge.
Jeremy Shockey also accepted the challenge set forth by Pam Patterson of Pizza Dan's. Patterson said she would donate $100 to the shelter for a person who was not planning to jump but would participate in the plunge. Shockey was the first to accept that challenge.
Commissioner Randy Smith, who was in attendance for the event, expressed is gratitude to Wamsley and his family for organizing the event and their continued support of the shelter.
"I also want to thank those who were crazy enough to jump, along with the Columbia Township EMS and Dog Warden Karen Heater for being here today in support of the dog shelter," he said.
Smith noted the partnerships and collaborative efforts of many agencies — including the Meigs County Humane Society and Meigs County Dog Shelter — along with other officials, businesses and individuals in working to benefit not only the dog shelter, but Meigs County as a whole.
"It takes everyone's help to continue to make things better," he said. "Today shows that we have a community willing to get together and support a worthwhile cause."

Paul D. Carney
Utility appears far from smart
I was expecting the letter that I received today from Glendale Water & Power. I have been expecting it since it was announced that they were going to install "smart meters."
A big reason for "smart meters" is to bill consumers for using electricity when we need it. We could be billed extra for using electricity during peak times. Rates will also probably go up if we don't use enough. It is a losing situation.
Today's letter had the gall to compare my electricity consumption to that of my neighbors. Why should Glendale Water & Power try to compare my usage to that of someone else? I am retired. I am home most days. I use television or my computer and air-conditioning for my physical and mental health.
And yet Glendale Water & Power wants to compare my consumption with someone who works five or six days a week. What should I do? Go sit in a library or shelter?
Glendale Water & Power spent a fortune to install these meters. They must recover that money. The letter that I received less than two weeks after the meter changes is the preliminary step to enforcement by the electricity and water police.
The next step is to start billing us extra for when we use the utilities that we have been paying for all of our lives.

Rheumatologists Anticipate Using Orencia and Rituxan More Frequently in First- and Second-Line Therapy for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis
WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ — Decision Resources, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms focusing on pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that surveyed U.S. rheumatologists anticipate using Bristol-Myers Squibb's Orencia and Biogen Idec/Genentech/ Chugai/Zenyaku Kogyo's Rituxan, also marketed as Roche's MabThera, more frequently in first- and second-line biologic therapy through 2010 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
"Currently, surveyed rheumatologists prescribe Orencia in earlier lines of therapy than Rituxan – 78 percent of them most commonly prescribe Orencia as a third-line biologic, whereas 51 percent of them use Rituxan as a fourth-line biologic," stated Madhuri Borde, Ph.D., analyst at Decision Resources. "Surveyed rheumatologists contend that physician familiarity, concern about the long-term effects of B-cell depletion with Rituxan and preference for Orencia's mechanism of action influences physicians to prescribe Orencia instead of Rituxan."
The new report entitled Treatment Algorithms in Rheumatoid Arthritis also finds that fewer rheumatoid arthritis patients start Amgen/Wyeth/Takeda's Enbrel after another tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor versus users of Abbott/Eisai's Humira or Centocor/Schering-Plough/Mitsubishi Tanabe's Remicade. Only 5.3 percent of patients taking Enbrel as a non first-line drug use it after another TNF-alpha inhibitor, compared with 16.0 percent for Humira and 14.4 percent for Remicade.
"All three TNF-alpha inhibitors are vying for first-line biologic use," added Dr. Borde. "However, our current analysis of patient-level claims data shows a much wider disparity than we observed in our 2007 report in the percentage of patients who had received another TNF-alpha inhibitor in the line of treatment preceding Enbrel versus those patients starting either Humira or Remicade as a non first-line drug."

Slinger - Emergency removal of nearly 9,000 gallons of hazardous chemicals from an abandoned metal plating factory in the village has cost the nation's taxpayers about $135,000, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official said Friday.
Federal contractors took out more than 315 barrels, drums, vats and large jugs containing chemicals and metal plating wastes.
Niphos Coatings, 308 Oak St., is in a residential neighborhood near the center of the village and only a few blocks from three schools.
Rooms are now empty of the hazards illegally stored here after the company closed in March 2010. The poor condition of the wood frame building is clearly visible.
Concrete floors have deteriorated, their surfaces corroded, after a few decades of chemical spills. Ceilings are stained from rain leaking through the roof.
All floors were power-washed after chemicals had been removed, and even that water was considered a hazard requiring special disposal.
Jaime Brown, on-scene coordinator for the EPA's Superfund program in Chicago, opened the doors to the building early Friday afternoon so that village officials and state environmental regulators could see the results of the costly federal cleanup.
Even the large plastic tanks used in the metal plating process had been cut up and disposed of. Steel racks that once held nickel-plated products were washed off and cut up for scrap, Brown said. The EPA received market prices for the scrap, but those few dollars did not put a dent in the bill for the cleanup.
A deep square pit in the concrete floor of one room had been used to collect acids and chemicals flowing out of floor drains for treatment, Brown said. Contractors emptied the pit of its hazardous industrial soup and washed it out.
Records show that business owner Thomas Harju stopped shipping chemical wastes off site in 2008, two years before he shut down the business. He stopped filing chemical inventory reports in 2008, though they are required under federal law.
Federal contractors in September inventoried 8,868 gallons of hazardous chemicals stored in containers of all sizes.
Two of the chemicals left behind in the building - nitric acid and sodium cyanide - are considered extremely hazardous. Nitric acid can burn skin. Sodium cyanide is corrosive, and contact can damage eyes and skin.
Copper cyanide, nickel sulfate and hydrochloric acid also were among the hazards found inside.
Brown first entered the building Sept. 11 and requested an emergency cleanup before leaving the property.
State environmental officials had asked the EPA to step in after a court-ordered building inspection in late August found several dozen barrels and drums of chemicals throughout the building. Several months earlier, Harju told a village fire inspector that he was removing hazardous substances, and the August inspection was an attempt to confirm the work was done.
After stepping out of the building on Sept. 11, Brown described the abandoned factory as a threat to public health and safety.
Some of the rooms were packed floor to ceiling with drums and barrels of chemicals.
Photos from the August village inspection and subsequent EPA inspection show garbage and other debris cluttering floor space not taken up with stacks of containers.
Threat to safety
Washington County Emergency Management Coordinator Rob Schmid said in September that chemicals had to be removed since a fire would damage containers and release toxic compounds in the village.
But there were no warning signs or fences at the property before the EPA cleanup.
Brown started with a $50,000 emergency budget, but that amount proved to be inadequate as contractors carefully tested, packed and properly disposed of the multiple chemical hazards.
Now that the cleanup is completed, a separate office of the EPA will determine if Harju is able to reimburse the agency - and taxpayers - for any portion of the $135,000 bill, Brown said.
That is not a sure thing since Harju went through bankruptcy in 2010.
He has not paid property taxes since 2007, though Harju Holdings LLC is listed as the property owner on Washington County records.
In a September interview, Harju said the business fell victim in 2008 to the nationwide economic recession as customers stopped ordering and stopped paying for his custom metal-plated products.
