Product description
Official publication of the National Maritime Museum's exhibition "Ships, Clocks and Stars: The Quest for Longitude". 300 years ago, amidst growing frustration from the naval community and pressure from the increasing importance of international trade, the British government passed the 1714 Longitude Act. It was an attempt to solve one of the most pressing problems of the age: how to determine a ship's longitude (east-west position) at sea. With life-changing rewards on offer, the challenge captured the imaginations and talents of astronomers, skilled craftsmen, politicians, seamen and satirists. This beautifully illustrated book is a detailed account of these stories, and how the longitude problem was solved. Highlights of the book include: * Foreword by the fifteenth Astronomer Royal, Martin Rees. * Specially commissioned photographs of the National Maritime Museum's collection. * A new description of the collaborations and conflicts in a tale of technical creativity, scientific innovation and hard commercialism. From the same publisher as Dava Sobel's Longitude, Finding Longitude tells a new story of one of the great achievements of the Georgian age, and how it changed our understanding of the world.

Health & Safety
A Louisiana chemical plant is challenging fines issued in an explosion that killed two workers and injured 80 last summer, authorities said.
Williams Olefins' Geismar, LA, plant exploded June 13, 2013. Six months later, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that it was citing the company for six process safety management standard violations, one willful and five serious, for a total of $99,000 in proposed penalties.
The company has contested the citations before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, OSHA spokesperson Juan Rodriguez confirmed Thursday (Jan. 23).
OSHA cited Williams Olefins for six process safety management standard violations after its Geismar, LA, chemical plant exploded in June, killing two workers. The company has contested the citations.
Process safety management encompasses a detailed set of requirements and procedures for employers to follow to address hazards associated with processes and equipment that use large amounts of hazardous chemicals, OSHA said. In this case, that chemical was propylene.
Two Deaths, Ongoing Investigation
Williams Olefins is a subsidiary of Williams Partners LP, headquartered in Tulsa, OK. The company has about 4,700 employees corporatewide, according to OSHA.
The Geismar, LA, plant specializes in the production of natural gas, ethylene and propylene and employs about 127 workers.
Zachary Green, 29, died in the explosion. He was an operator who started working with the company in October 2012. The second victim, 47-year-old Scott Thrower, died at the hospital the next day.
"Williams Olefins violated safety and health standards which, when followed, can protect workers from hazardous chemicals," said Dorinda Folse, OSHA's area director in Baton Rouge.
"It is the employer's responsibility to find and fix workplace safety violations and to ensure the safety of its workers. Failing to do so cost two workers their lives."
Tome Droege, a Williams Olefins spokesperson, told The Advocate, "Although a notice of contest has been filed, we anticipate future discussions with OSHA to finalize this matter. He added that the company had had discussions with OSHA before the notice was filed.
'Catastrophic Failure'
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board is still investigating. CSB Chairperson Rafael Moure-Eraso met with the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on June 27, 2013, telling them that "there was a catastrophic failure involving a heat exchanger and associated piping which broke loose from a distillation tower."
The CSB is still investigating the explosion but has said that it stemmed from a heat exchanger failure and piping that broke loose from a distillation tower.
Williams Olefins confirmed in December that it had received the citations and was carefully reviewing OSHA's analysis and findings.
"Williams cooperated in a full and transparent manner to support OSHA's investigation, and we are in the process of reviewing the analysis," said John Dearborn, senior VP of NGL and Petchem Services.
The Violations
The willful violation, OSHA's highest level of infraction, was cited for failing to develop clear, written procedures for how to change and put idle pressure vessels into service. That violation carries a $70,000 proposed penalty. A willful violation is one OSHA says is committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.
The five serious violations allege:
According to OSHA, serious violations occur when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard the employer knew or should have known about.

With a range of ex-stock bow shackle load cells, U.K. load cell manufacturer and supplier LCM Systems is able to offer next day delivery on its range of standard TELSHACK-B load cells. However, sometimes the off-the-shelf solution isn't quite right for a customers' specific application and it's here where LCM's in-house design team and extensive experience in customizing load cells gives LCM a competitive advantage.
This happened recently when a multinational marine engineering company in Canada enquired about the TELSHACK-B load cell. They liked the principle of a wireless telemetry shackle, but wanted to measure ship docking tension on a winch. The main requirements were that the load cell had to be shackle style; it had to be light enough for a single operator to lift it manually, yet it had to be robust enough for use in an offshore and heavy industrial environment. Additionally, the solution had to be wireless so as to avoid trailing cables and full traceability was required on all materials. This was hard to achieve with a conventional shackle, when the measurement range is 85te. But this did not daunt LCM's design engineers. A more compact, lightweight solution was needed.
The result was the LCM3782 85te Wireless Telemetry Mooring Link Load Cell. Stainless steel was the manufacturing material of choice to keep the load cell light but strong. The solution was to use a compact 180T Tonsberg Mooring Link, the load cell pin was replaced with a stainless steel pin and the wireless telemetry housing was also constructed from stainless steel. This made the shackle load cell light enough make operating the winch a one-man operation and a handheld battery powered display was supplied, with a gross/net facility for monitoring ease. To further ensure that the system could withstand the harsh operating conditions it was sealed to IP67 and the complete system was supplied fully calibrated and issued with certificates, traceable to UKAS.

HAREDI MEN march to protest 'Tal Law' alternatives 370.
(photo credit:Screenshot)
The most pressing social, political and religious issue in Israel this year has
been the question of haredi service in the Israel Defense Forces. Although a
wall-to-wall coalition was established to address this problem, a solution has
yet to be found. Currently, unless a special legal arrangement is instituted,
haredim (the ultra-Orthodox) are to be drafted like all other Jews in
Israel.If they are forced to serve, however, widespread civil
disobedience is likely to emerge, further increasing the rift in society and
possibly leading to a culture war. The most likely scenario is that the Knesset
will try to arrive at a fair legal solution during its winter
session.This will require addressing the needs of three distinct
parties: the general public, which is demanding equal military service; the
haredim, who refuse to abandon their ethos of full-time Torah study for all; and
the High Court of Justice, which will review every Knesset decision in this
matter to determine whether it is sufficiently equitable.Since Rosh
Hashana marks a period of individual and national soul searching, this is an
appropriate time to look past the details and focus on the big picture: Why
don't the haredim serve in the IDF? Can we accept their justifications? And, how
is a state that is both Jewish and democratic to deal with this crisis? Let's
start with the facts: The haredi sector today accounts for about 10 percent of
Israel's population.Its growth rate is phenomenal – more than 5%
annually, compared with 1.8% for the general population, which can be seen from
the fact that more than one-quarter of Jewish first graders in Israel are
haredi. Obviously, any change in the nature of this sector will have a rapid and
powerful effect on all of Israeli society.Some 52,000 haredi men have
declared that Torah study is their sole occupation and therefore have not served
in the army. Since the law prohibits them from working, only 42% of haredi men
are employed, compared with 80% for the general population.The average
income of a haredi household (NIS 6,100) is about half of the income of other
households, and the poverty rate in the haredi sector is soaring to alarming
heights (56%).Experts, including the chairman of the National Economic
Council (a division of the Prime Minister's Office), have determined that the
combination of accelerated growth and refusal to participate in the country's
society and economy is a recipe for disaster that may lead to economic collapse
and may damage national security, as a weakened economy will not be able to
support Israel's security needs.This leads to the sobering conclusion
that the realization of the haredi ethos of full-time Torah study threatens the
very survival of the Zionist enterprise.Is this situation really
necessary from a haredi perspective? Not necessarily. Haredim in Israel explain
that they have sequestered themselves in yeshivot in order to fulfill the
commandment to study the Torah "day and night." Although they truly believe this
explanation, it should not be accepted, as the haredi community in Israel can be
contrasted with a "control group" of ultra-Orthodox Jews in the United States
and Europe.Many ultra-Orthodox Jews in the Diaspora conduct their lives
differently from their Israeli counterparts.After several years of
yeshiva study, during which they consolidate their ultra-Orthodox identity, they
learn a trade, join the local labor force, and support a "society of learners" –
a small group of scholars funded by the community. Moreover, even in
pre-Holocaust Europe, the Torah world did not advocate collective seclusion in
yeshivot; most ultra-Orthodox joined the marketplace of life and only a select
few – the most learned of all – adopted full-time Torah study as a way of
life.Thus, paradoxically, in the Diaspora, the home of the "Old Jews"
who were looked down upon by Zionism, haredim chose to be productive and join
the workforce; while in Israel, the birthplace of the "New Jews," who control
their own destiny, haredim isolate themselves and do not integrate into society
and the economy.It seems, then, that there was some kind of internal
connection between the establishment of the State of Israel and the change in
the haredi worldview, which now mandates a life of Torah study for all haredi
men. What is the nature of this connection? The founders of political Zionism
expected that the transition from an existence in spread-out communities to one
in a sovereign state would unify a divided Jewish society and help it form one
clearly defined national identity. In practice, however, the State of Israel did
not solve the identity crisis; it intensified it. Although the state created a
Jewish public sphere – comprising territory, politics, army and law – control of
that space has been the central conflict between Jews in our
generation.David Ben-Gurion, for example, adopted the "melting pot"
concept, and sought to imbue all Jews with a secular, nationalist, and socialist
outlook.Religious Zionism, in contrast, wants to run the state in
accordance with its religious vision of redemption, which shapes its positions
on the borders of the state, its attitude toward the judicial system, and more.
But while secular and religious Zionists wish to control the entire public
sphere, the haredim – at least so far – are interested only in their own small
domain. In both Israel and the Diaspora, their efforts are directed at
strengthening their own sector.The nature of the challenge facing the
haredi community, however, varies with location. In the Diaspora, haredim live
in a non-Jewish state and society.Consequently, it is relatively easy
for them to be "a Jew at home, and a man on the street."In Israel, by
contrast, their external environment is Jewish. Haredim, religious Jews and
secular Jews all share a common destiny, both in their internal Israeli
existence (e.g., Israeli politics) and vis-à-vis external factors (e.g., enemy
states).Paradoxically, this commonality among Jews is the greatest
threat to haredi identity in Israel.THE CRUX of the issue has nothing to
do with Torah study but rather with apprehension about contact with Jews who
have different identities. IDF conscription at a young age, for example, is
liable to damage the unique identity of the next haredi generation.The
adrenalin of an 18-year-old haredi runs as high as that of his secular
counterpart: driving a tank, jumping out of a plane and having unmediated
contact with secular Jews in a pup tent is liable to change him.Thus, it
is in the Jewish state, where Jews are the proprietors rather than visitors,
that haredim feel threatened and barricade themselves behind "walls of
sanctity." In contrast, in other countries, where the threat is distant and
haredi identity is relatively secure, they function in the outside
world.This analysis yields guidelines for an appropriate solution. The
majority of Israelis must recognize that the isolationism of the haredi
community does not stem from a desire to be parasites or exploitative, but from
a real identity crisis.As a liberal state, Israel must respond to the
needs of this culturally threatened minority and help it protect its identity.
At the same time, however, the haredi minority must realize that its
isolationism endangers the future of the state and cannot continue
indefinitely.In the coming year, the Knesset will have to formulate a
new legal arrangement that strikes a delicate balance. It must include the
following: (1) The Jewish state must recognize the value of Torah study.
Accordingly, a small, spiritual and intellectual elite must be permitted to live
as a "society of learners," similar in size to parallel groups in the US and
Europe.(2) Most haredi men must serve in the IDF. This will fulfill
their obligation to the future of the Jewish state and will open the gates of
employment to them, enabling them to join the workforce and save their community
from its abject poverty.(3) The haredim must be able to maintain their
identity despite their army service. For this reason, the state should allow
haredim to be drafted at an older age – such as 22, when most are married with
children – when their identities are firmly established.Similarly, they
must be offered terms of service that will allow them to maintain their
identity.Such service will be more costly and less efficient, but it is
a necessary concession toward a minority group facing a crisis of identity.
While full equality will not be achieved, the haredim will join all other Jews
in Israel, both symbolically and in practice.Yedidia Z. Stern is vice

Rachel , wifey to best friend Karl ,
SAHM to Kaelan (11) Chandra (9) Liam (7) Lachlan (5) Killian (4),Riordan (1), Baby Boy EDD 11/14. All born at home!
I went to Target with DD in a ring sling, facing out.
I got *the* dirtiest looks from two moms with kiddos in strollers. I just smiled at them and smiled at the kiddos. I mean, what do I know, maybe they've got back problems and can't babywear. I don't care that their kiddos are in strollers! My DD and I are happy with a sling, for our reasons.
Maybe it was my scarf. I've gotten a few dirty looks about it since 9/11. Maybe the combination of my scarf and the sling makes me look too foreign, and in these xenophobic times that justifies a dirty look.
I did get really sweet smiles from two elder couples though. That makes me feel better but it doesn't erase those other looks.
</vent> Thanks for listening.
I find myself doing that too. I LOVE the wonderful fabrics patterns and lace trims I see on the scarves and wish I had a reason to wear them. I also try to figure out how they keep them on. I have a drawer full of scarves and feel I never have any reason to wear them. They are so lovely in the box, but I can never figure out how to wear them.
I also look at women who are baby wearing to see how they are doing it and to see if I can learn something new.
I hope they don't think I'm giving them a dirty look but I'm sure they may think I'm rather odd.
Sorry about the dirty looks. There is no excuse for that. I've been on the recieving end of these when out with DH in his uniform. Mostly people are very nice, but we had one koot go off about the Iraq war in the airport. It was really sad as I was so excited to show DH that DD had learned to nurse and he had been gone for some time. It put a bit of a damper on our reunion, and that was the first time I told someone to F-off in front of DD.

Defence and security company Saab says it has entered into an agreement with ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions AG regarding the acquisition of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AB (TKMS AB, formerly Kockums). The purchase price is MSEK 340. Saab explains that the acquisition is in line with its ambition to increase its capabilities in the naval domain, and further strengthens Saab's status as a comprehensive supplier of military systems.
The purchase price is MSEK 340. Existing funds will be used to finance the acquisition. The transaction's effect on Saab's result for 2014 is estimated to be non-material. TKMS AB will be integrated into Saab's business area Security and Defence Solutions.
"We are looking forward to welcoming Kockums and its personnel to Saab. This acquisition marks the start of a new era in Kockum's notable history. The knowledge that the employees possess for developing and producing submarines is unique and strengthens all of Saab", says Saab's President and CEO Håkan Buskhe.
"Integration and development efforts will now begin to ensure that operations reach their full capacity. It is important to achieve synergies with Saab's current naval business. This process must be allowed to take its course, but at the same time we begin deliveries of development, maintenance and production work to the Swedish market," says Gunilla Fransson, Head of Business Area Security and Defence Solutions.
TKMS AB designs, builds and maintains naval systems such as submarines and surface vessels. Other successful products include air independent propulsion (AIP) systems based on Stirling technology, submarine rescue vehicles and mine counter measures systems. The company has approximately 900 employees and supplies systems and products to the navies of Sweden, Australia and Singapore.
During the financial year 2012/2013, TKMS AB reported sales of approximately SEK 1.7 billion (2011/2012: SEK 1.9 billion) and income from operations of approximately MSEK 34 (2011/2012: MSEK 13).
The transaction is subject to approval by the board and the supervisory bodies of ThyssenKrupp Group and the Swedish Competition Authority. These approvals are expected during July 2014 and thereafter the takeover of TKMS AB will be completed.

Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who put through the call to the Duchess of Cambridge's ward after believing Greig was the Queen and her co-host, Michael Christian, was Prince Charles, died after the hoax made world headlines.
Saldanha left behind a note blaming the two Australian DJs for her death.
In an interview with Channel 7's Sunday Night, Greig said the backlash was so great that the couple were forced to remain holed up in her Sydney flat with a bodyguard.
She and her family received death threats, Greig said.
"They would ring my mum and say 'Eye for an eye. You need to die because she died'. So many horrible phone calls. Dad was rushed to hospital from the stress, and I thought, 'Great, now I've killed my dad too'," Greig said.
Grieg said just minutes after she recorded a conversation in 2012 she became concerned they could face severe consequences.
Greig said she immediately sent an email to her bosses urging them to disguise the identities of the nurses by replacing their voices with those of 2Day FM staff.
However her suggestion was dismissed and the decision was made to broadcast the segment without alteration, Sunday Night said.
"I absolutely expressed concern," Greig told Sunday Night of her reaction in the minutes after the phone call, and before it went to air.
"As an announcer, I'm trained that we always need to get permission if we're going to broadcast something and it just didn't seem right that we would broadcast that without permission and without doing what we would normally do as announcers, so I was absolutely concerned."
Greig's barrister, Tony Hurran, also said his client wanted the recording changed.
"She has been the scapegoat and the fall guy. The decision to broadcast was not hers," he said.
Greig also described the depth of her remorse, saying she felt like "the worst person alive".
"I think of the Saldanha family all the time, and I just want them to see that I'm sorry, because I care so much about Jacintha and what she did and what happened, and I'm so sorry," she said.
"I don't ever want to listen to it [the recording of the prank call] again, because I'm ashamed of myself. I should have tried harder not to let that prank call air. It never should have aired."
Greig was due to appear at the British inquest into the death of Saldanha, but the inquest has been delayed numerous times because the coroner is seeking more information.
Southern Cross Austereo has said previously that Greig wanted the recording changed, but had not provided any further details.
"Prior to the call being broadcast, she made suggestions for changes to be made to the recording of the call," Austereo said in a statement last year.
"2Day FM decided that the call should be broadcast without alteration."
Greig resigned from 2Day FM in December last year.

I can't tell you how aggravated I am at my councilman. I guess he would prefer I spend my weekends and money outside of the northeast along with many of my friends? It is a joke that he doesn't recognize that higher density creates stronger businesses or that constantly changing the zoning code worries developers. O well I guess the councilman doesn't want more people to live in the northeast who might vote against him, and for someone with more vision.
Does the City Council have some sort Parking fetish we're unaware of? It comes up with every single zoning issue. Just leave it alone and let the free market figure it out.

Father-of-six, 43, dies after NYPD officers put him in a chokehold

Father-of-six Eric Garner, 43, died on Thursday after being put in a chokehold by police and pinned to the ground on Staten Island
A father-of-six died on Thursday after being put in a chokehold by an NYPD officer.
Eric Garner, a 43-year-old who weighed 400lb and suffered from asthma, can be heard repeatedly shouting: 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe' in cellphone footage captured by outraged bystanders.
Mr Garner was also pinned to the ground by five other cops, one of whom appeared to slam his head into the concrete.
The man, whom officers claimed was illegally selling cigarettes in Staten Island, stopped struggling after less than a minute and appeared to be unconscious.
Paramedics were called to the scene outside a beauty supply store in Tompkinsville around 5pm.
Mr Garner later died at Richmond University Medical Center following a cardiac arrest.
Mr Garner leaves his wife Esaw, six children and two grandchildren.
His wife told the Daily News: 'When I kissed my husband this morning, I never thought it would be for the last time.'
She said that police gave her little information when she went to hospital to identify her husband's body.
Mr Garner allegedly had a history of selling untaxed cigarettes, the Daily News reported.
But the deceased's family claimed the 43-year-old father was simply breaking up a fight on Thursday and had no cigarettes on him at the time.
Scroll down for video
Mr Garner, 43, pictured with an unidentified woman, was trying to break up a fight on Thursday when police arrested him, his family said. Mr Garner later died in hospital following a cardiac arrest
The father-of-six was not armed, according to reports.
Garner had a court date scheduled in October for selling untaxed cigarettes and pot possession.
His wife said that he had a history of ill health, including asthma and diabetes, which made it difficult for him to hold down a job.
On a video, obtained by the New York Daily News, Mr Garner is seen sitting outside a store when he is approached by plainclothes officers.
Mr Garner can be heard telling the cops: 'Every time you seem me you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today.'
More officers arrive and when Mr Garner refuses to put his hands behind his back to be cuffed, an officer grabs him from behind in a chokehold.
Several other officers then wrestle the man to the ground before one appears to pin his head to the concrete.
After repeatedly telling the officers 'I can't breathe', Mr Garner goes quiet and stops struggling.
Police are seen on the cellphone footage trying to move bystanders away from the scene.
Confrontation: Eric Garner was stopped by police on this sidewalk
Residents reacted with fury following Mr Garner's death. After the incident, posters saying 'no justice, no peace' 'and Another innocent black man has been killed by police brutality. The NYPD must be stopped!' appeared in the area.
Reverend Lloyd Land, from the First United Christian Church, told Staten Island Live: 'He was a gentle giant. Insofar as violence, I don't believe if you smack him in the face he would hit you back ... The police have no reason to attack him.'
An NYPD internal affairs investigation was reportedly underway.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio promised a full investigation into Mr Garner's death.
In a statement on Friday, the mayor said: 'On behalf of all New Yorkers, I extend my deepest condolences to the family of Mr Garner, who died yesterday afternoon while being placed in police custody.
'We have a responsibility to keep every New Yorker safe, and that includes when individuals are in custody of the NYPD. That is a responsibility that Police Commissioner Bratton and I take very seriously. We are harnessing all resources available to the City to ensure a full and thorough investigation of the circumstances of this tragic incident.
'The NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau is working closely with the Office of the Richmond County District Attorney, which is leading this investigation.'

Faded Definition was initially formed in 2010, but sat in the shadows, and did not release any music until August of 2012. FD blends many different genres of music together to create a unique hybrid project that has elements of metal, rock, classical symphonies, and 50's artists such as the Rat Pack.
FD's first EP, As The City Burns, was released in mid August of 2012, it featured two singles, Anastasia, and Devolve. As The City Burns helped FD double their fan base and even get a couple listeners from overseas.
In February of 2013, FD put out a new single "The Liar VI", it was received far better than As The City Burns, and brought FD to a whole new level of exposure through online radio play.
Currently, FD is working on their second release, "Onward to Dawn" which will be a full length released over a year in the form of three separate EPs, and then re released as a full album. Part one of Onward to Dawn is due to release in June of 2013.

Javier Vazquez ends comeback attempt due to knee injury
Feb 27, 2013, 10:47 AM EDT
Javier Vazquez's comeback, which was going to include pitching for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, is over before it started.
Last month Vazquez underwent what was said to be a minor knee surgery to repair meniscus damage, but Ruben Rodriguez of El Nuevo Dia in Puerto Rico reports that he will not pitch in the WBC. And according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com that means Vazquez "will not pitch in MLB this year."
Vazquez would have had to pitch well (and prove he was healthy) in the WBC to draw significant interest from MLB teams anyway, so the knee problems sabotaged all of that for the 36-year-old.
- Old Gator - Feb 27, 2013 at 11:16 AM
Sorry to hear it. He gave the Feesh the last of his best, and as a fan all I can say is, thanks Javy, it was fun watching you pull it all back together for what must've been a gratifying last olé.
- kopy - Feb 27, 2013 at 11:26 AM
So… so do we take him off the BSOHL team?
- number42is1 - Feb 27, 2013 at 11:43 AM
no.. he just goes on the BSOHL DL
- b453841l - Feb 27, 2013 at 12:11 PM
WHAT!!?!? Javier Vazquez's ability to pitch is adversely affected by injury??? Absolutely shocking!!!
- tuberippin - Feb 27, 2013 at 2:50 PM
That's a shame. He could have been a useful piece in an NL rotation.
- m3rozansky - Feb 27, 2013 at 4:40 PM
Good, now no team has waste money on guy that wouldn't last 6 weeks in their rotation.
Vasquez to me was always one of the more overrated pitchers in baseball. Trust me, we had him on the Yankees twice and he was a big waste of time. He always nothing but make excuses for getting slammed around and walked around with an attitude of "hey, everyone feel bad for me".
- tuberippin - Feb 27, 2013 at 5:14 PM
Just because he sucked with the Yankees doesn't make him a bad pitcher.
Case in point: Randy Johnson, arguably the best left-handed starter ever (though obviously the case can be made for Sandy Koufax, Lefty Grove, Warren Spahn, or Steve Carlton), had ERAs of 3.79 and 5.00 in his two years in pinstripes. The Big Unit not performing at his best in New York does not negate the rest of his career, however.

"I love the spaciousness of this beautiful clean condo. I have stayed in this unit many times and every time something new has been added.The kitchen is perfect and had everything we needed to do most of out cooking. The lanai is where we spent early mornings enjoying the quiet before we went for our walk on the beautiful beach across the street. The condo is perfectly located to beaches, groceries, great restaurants and shopping. The pool is a great place to relax and enjoy the sun. I do recommend this condo to my friends. I will be back."Guest: Mary Date of Stay: May 2015 Review Submitted: June 11, 2015View listing

"The condo was as described; clean and affordable. It was also spacious and well equipped. We went to Charley Young beach most days which seemed to be the best in South Kihel and we appreciated the beach gear provided. The property's swimming pool was beautiful for a refreshing dip. Everything we needed was close by and we used the local bus at the end of the street to travel further afield. We stayed for three weeks. Everything for a perfect holiday."Guest: Liz Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 30, 2015View listing
