Wc dans la salle de bain
Bâtiment du XVIè siècle typiquement andalou, plein de charme, très bien entretenu, avec une magnifique cour arborée et une jolie fontaine. Très bien placé dans le quartier historique pour faire les visites à pied.
Studio sommairement équipé (TV minuscule, vaisselle usée, trop d'assiettes plates pour 2 personnes, mais 1 seule tasse à café !, pas de bols ou d'assiettes creuses qui nous ont été apportés sur notre demande, salle de bains vieillotte, sommier trop petit et matelas trop grand : le drap housse se déhoussait constamment!).
Fantastic area. Really helpful staff when booking, on arrival, and during stay.Lovely spacious and attractive appartment based on 2 adults, two children, and 1 infant. Good value.
Microwave advertised on web but not present. A couple of loose tiles, and a minor leak in bathroom (caused no trouble for us though). A sheet of imformation (rubbish disposal, nearest supermarket, fusebox, nearest metro and bus lines) would have been nice.
the apartment is very nice, clean and very close to the center whithin walking distance, moreover the owner was very available for every request. I suggest it.
the apartment was very clean, confortable and very close to the city center whtithin walking distance. The owner was very available for any problems. I suggest it.
the apartment was just right for us. Very welcoming owner and her niece who spoke very good English. Lots of little treats to greet us.

Situacion cerca del centro. Barrio con mucha vida.
Die Wohnung ist modern eingerichtet und liegt sehr zentral. Das WLAN hat bestens funktioniert.
In der Wohnung ist sehr klein, und gibt es praktisch keinen Stauraum. Die Wandschränke sind vorhanden, doch gibt keine Tablare und fast keine Kleiderbügel. Das Geschirr und Besteck sind mangelhaft und zum Teil zu wenig (z. B. nur zwei Weingläser). Die Wohnung ist für das was es ist viel zu teuer.
Siento mucho que haya encontrado esas deficiencias, que no han sido puestas en mi conocimiento por ningún otro huésped. En cualquier caso no supondría ningún problema que me hubiese pedido lo que necesitara y gustosamente se lo habría proporcionado.

The capital of flamboyant flamenco, Seville is a traditional Spanish city in the south of the country. Boasting a backdrop of charming Andalusian design flecked with Moorish castles and Roman fortresses, it effortlessly combines style and personality. With a buzzing nightlife, a culture that's enticingly rich and fascinating, and plenty of quirky sights to behold, there is no time to get bored. It dances with jovial music and houses hundreds of cosy haunts that are bastion of Spanish culture and tradition thanks to its part in the birth of flamenco. But it's modern, too, with an array of contemporary cafes, quirky art galleries, and lush boutique stores dotted along the rustic old streets. The city has lots to explore, so pick a good base with one of our apartments in Seville, ranging from affordable studios tucked down winding alleyways to short term flats overlooking the terracotta roofs.
Seville is known as the birthplace of traditional Spanish flamenco, a flurry of colours, sounds, and dance that make for the perfect evening viewing. Throughout the city you'll find a huge selection of bars, restaurants, cafes, and performance halls that put on regular flamenco shows, highlighting classic performers as well as up and coming stars. If you want to get into the spirit of it and try some flamenco yourself (why wouldn't you?!), then head to the Museo del Flamenco where you can watch dancers swing their stuff in an intimate space and get involved yourself.
If you're looking to just watch, though, then you can pretty much find a place on every corner. Try one of the peñas, where you can stand up and feel the rhythm rather than tap along through a sit-down show. The ambiance is much livelier and intimate – head to La Carboneria or Casa de la Memoria de Al-Andalus for great experiences.
After dancing the night away flamenco-style, make sure you book one of our great affordable flats or apartments in Seville to get a good night's sleep.
The flamenco capital of Spain is as lively with its accommodation as it is with its nightlife and evening performances. Colourful boutique hotels form a large part of Seville accommodation, but there are plenty of traditional places to stay, too. Old Moorish buildings carve out pretty guesthouses flanked with climbing plants and old courtyards, whilst rustic apartment blocks dive straight into fairy tale Spanish scenes that are perfectly accompanied with cold sangria on the balcony. Elsewhere, the nightlife-loving crowd make do with comfortable hostels, and the luxury travellers bed down in sumptuous hotels.
We have a huge collection of Seville apartments dotted throughout the areas listed above. Browse through our site to find the perfect place to stay.
Seville's San Pablo Airport is located about 10km away from the city centre and there are numerous ways you can get from the airport into town. The quickest way is to grab a taxi from the ranks outside the terminals. It'll take about 15 minutes and set you back about 20 Euros. Alternatively, you can catch the direct bus from outside the airport which takes about 30 minutes to get to Avenida Carlos V in the centre of the city. From there you have access to the local tram services if you need to transfer to another part of Seville.
Many visitors also arrive in Seville from other Spanish cities, especially Madrid, as well as from neighbouring countries on the long-distance cross-country train services.
Seville has a great public transport system with many options. It has regular and reliable bus and tram services that connect all the major hotspots as well as attractions further afield, and there's also a cheap and quick metro service that caters to all parts of the city. The best ways to explore Seville, though, are on foot or by bike. Many of the major attractions are within walking distance of each other and there are numerous bicycle pick up points throughout the city where you can grab a ride and enjoy discovering the winding streets and old architecture at a slower pace.

Deciphering US labor data
There has been a great deal of discussion over the past few years around the labor market, the unemployment rate, and so on. Most of it is at best uninformative, and at worst, just plain wrong. We are often left with a lot of data and very little information. In the next few paragraphs I will explain where all this data comes from, what it means, and in the end, tell you where to find the information you need to cut through the noise.

Great honest and friendly staff! Highly recommended for all of your auto repair needs! They focus on giving you a quality service for your money, which is refreshing.
There are more than 700,000 auto service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. Finding the right one to repair a dent in your car door or fix an engine that won't start can be overwhelming, especially when it's an emergency. Review a few important facts about auto repair professionals and what you can do to get the best possible mechanic working on your vehicle's issues for a fair price.
Looking For Reliability
Unlike home repair services that evaluate a property, meet with homeowners and have time to prepare before their physical work begins, auto repair businesses are often asked to make fixes on the spot. If you come into a garage with a tire issue, the expectation is the mechanic will know how to correct that problem quickly.
That is why reliability is so vital when searching for a trusted auto repair shop. It may take going to several different mechanics before you find one you are truly comfortable with. Pose questions to this professional to find out what approach they will take to repair your car or what alternatives are available. Shopping around also gives you the best opportunity to find the cheapest rate or the fastest service, as some garages may be backed up with other vehicles that need repair first.
A recommended way to locate a trustworthy auto repair professional is to seek out customer reviews. Online sites offer honest opinions from real customers who have used a business. Read through this feedback to learn how a business operates and what you can expect if you were to take your vehicle there. Look for reviews about how quick maintenance was completed and if prices were fair. By learning what other people have said about a garage, you can gain a better idea if it's the right place to go when you have a car problem in need of fixing.
It can be difficult to know which automotive problems are serious enough to require expert assistance. A ripped seat cushion or broken radio don't involve safety and will not warrant enough of a problem that going into a garage is required. However, setbacks with brakes, lights and other parts that are vital to the safety of your car's driver and passengers, as well as others on the road, necessitate quick fixes. Many modern automobiles will notify drivers of an issue, in the form of a signal on the dashboard or a noise within the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, even if your vehicle does not appear to have any damage on the outside, it is generally recommended that you see a trusted auto repair professional. Internal damage may have occurred, or an important part may have been knocked out of place. Fixing these issues before driving much further can prevent further vehicle breakdowns in the future. In the case of a serious accident, a body shop can assess the problems and determine the best course of action for repairs, as well as evaluate how much they will cost.
Beyond that, regular checkups are recommended. Tires must be rotated, fluids needs to be replaced and the engine must be evaluated. After driving 25,000 miles, most auto dealers suggest having the vehicle checked out to ensure everything is running smoothly. Taking the car into the auto repair professional you trust will protect you from further problems down the road.
Not every type of auto repair work needs to be done by a certified mechanic. You can fix some of a vehicle's issues just by paying attention to how the automobile is running and having a basic understanding of auto repair. Look over the ways weather may impact your car and what preventative measures you can take to avoid having to take it into the shop. At the same time, be aware of mechanic scams that can impact your experience.
Preventing Trips To The Professional
Some fixes to your car can be done without paying a specialist. Issues like replacing oil and air filters are relatively simple, with instructions provided in the owner's manual on how to make these changes. The same goes for replacing broken windshield wipers or burnt-out headlights. Such issues should be repaired quickly to guarantee safety, but don't require a visit to a garage. By handling these types of tasks on your own, you'll gain a better understanding for how your car operates and save time and money.
Along with understanding how to fix manageable vehicle issues that may arise, taking preventative measures to avoid future problems is a valuable time saver. Many problem-solving best practices are related to the seasons. Your vehicle will be in different conditions in the winter than in the summer, meaning it requires a different type of preparation.
In the spring and summer, you want to be sure your air conditioner and cooling systems work correctly. Given the high temperatures the vehicle will be exposed to, overheating is a common problem. Look over the system by ensuring there is enough coolant available. If it needs to be refilled, it is best to open the hood and add more to the car before it gets too warm out. Also, clean out fan ducts and other ventilation sources necessary for summertime driving.
For winter driving, features such as the defroster, heater and exhaust system are paramount. Look in your owner's manual for specific directions on how features should be checked and repaired. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can be replaced when needed, allowing warm air to continue to flow in. Also, check your tires before winter driving, as they need to be at the proper pressure to perform well on snow and ice.
Avoiding Scams
There is a common worry among many people that auto repair professionals take advantage of the general public. Because so many people are unaware of how to fix the problems in their vehicle, they are nervous of being overcharged by mechanics or worried that the improper work is being done.
While the great majority of professionals in the industry are honest, hard-working people, a few bad apples can ruin everything. You should be extra careful when first visiting a mechanic to guarantee that the price you're charged and maintenance the vehicle receives are fair.
Among the common scams pulled are needless repairs, where a garage charges you for work that isn't necessary. Another popular one is attracting customers through a cheap oil change or tire pressure check. Then, when you are in the shop and your car is being repaired, they give you a long list of other corrections they'd like to make, therefore boosting the total cost of your bill.
The best way to combat these types of problems is getting a written estimate before work is done. That way, you can see how much repairs are expected to cost. If the final bill is higher than the estimate projected, ask to specifically see the work. Make sure information is put in writing as well. If a problem remains, you can have proof that work was not done to your satisfaction.
By working closely with an auto repair professional and doing some of the tune-up work on your own, you will be less likely to fall for these scams. At the same time, you'll be able to drive out with a clean and healthy vehicle, thanks to the repairs made by a trained professional.

In 2006, a scrappy Aussie edged its way in amid the swish restaurants on this East Village block. No fine wines or soft lighting here; instead, you're greeted by a shark on the ceiling, a cheerful hello from the staff, and a rich whiff of baking pastry crust. Out of the oven slide trays of savory pies and sausage rolls, the shop's raison d'être. Best are the straight-up ground-beef and chook (chicken) pies. Pierce the crust and they start drooling gravy. The chicken version gets a boost from leeks and diced ham. For something lighter, try the sausage roll, a cylinder of pork sausage meat, spliced with carrot, and wrapped in a pastry crust. Vegetarians should turn to the veggie roll, with chickpeas and mushrooms in place of the sausage. Desserts aren't as successful, but you will have the rare chance to try a lamington, a slice of sponge cake layered with jam, coated in chocolate, and dusted with coconut. Once you've collected your order, you can nab a spot at the counter to eatthough the stools are a little short for the countertop, so your plate may be closer to your chin than your elbow.Recommended Dishes
Chook pie, $6.50

Historians race clock to collect Holocaust survivor storiesHistorians in the News
JERUSALEM – Zvi Shefel recalled the day the German army arrived at his Polish town of Slonim in the summer of 1942. The soldiers immediately began mass exterminations and eventually killed more than 25,000 Jews, including his mother, father and sister.
There is nothing in that town that Shefel, 86, can find about his family, he said while attending the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial Thursday for the "Day of Remembrance" commemoration of the 6 million Jews killed in the Nazi genocide of World War II.
"I've visited all the archives in Belarus to find the names of people, but they weren't there because the archives of Slonim were burned by the Germans when they retreated — but we have to keep the memory of what happened in order to never forget," he said....

Good to know that software can track. Not that I agree, rather I am seemingly being tracked by an extremist religious hate-group sect all commingled as one.
A few years back a gal sent me a message. When I opened it there was a download indicator then a laughing voice saying, "ha, ha, ha dumb-ass you got a virus, Ha, ha, ha dumb-ass you got a virus."
I thought what a dumb-ass joke! What the hell is she trying to tell me, dose she have something? We did not know each-other well enough for her to be sending something like this. It was a turn off.
The thing is I had a feeling. A sensation prior to opening it. I felt it was more than a joke when it was playing. Then I had a feeling she did not really know that it MAYBE more than just a joke.
I called my Dad at his work and let him know. He laughed and said, "maybe she's trying to tell you she has some VD." I let him know I thought of that too, but felt it was something else disguised as a joke. He went back to, "I know, that's what I am saying! Maybe she is trying to let you know she as a VD. God I hope you did not sleep with her!" I let him know that did not, bur it is still creepy. Then I let him know I thought there was something else to it. That I hoped she was not trying to track me.

In the early 1940s, the US Airforce faced a dilemma. Thousands of new airplanes were coming off assembly lines and needed to be delivered to military bases nationwide, yet most of America's pilots were overseas fighting the war. To solve the problem, the government launched an experimental program to train women pilots. They were known as the WASPs, the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

Turns out software companies want to be more like newspapers. Microsoft launched the new version of Office 365, at the subscription price of $99.99 per year.
Office 2013, the traditional version of the software, costs $140 in comparison and can be used as long as your computer lives. Google Docs is the competitor to both with its the lightweight online word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software.
Here is the news side's report on Microsoft's Office launch by Janet I. Tu.
Microsoft has long pushed the model of selling software as a subscription instead of a one-time purchase, and has been successful at convincing its big-spending business customers. But it has lagged behind its competitor Google in packaging software as a subscription to individual buyers.

Google, the Mountain View, Calif., search company, has been selling Apps for $50 annually per person to businesses and individuals who want a secure, private and ad-free version of Google Docs, email and collaboration software.
The first version of Office 365 launched in June 2011, and cost $6 per month. I subscribed for six months, but only because I kept forgetting to cancel my subscription. The software was a hot mess. Figuring out how to collaborate on documents was an existential exercise in frustration.
I'm hopeful that Microsoft has cleaned up Office 365 in this launch. They need to get it right. The Microsoft Business Division, which makes Office, accounted for $24 billion in sales in fiscal 2012 and $15.7 billion in operating profit. The business division was responsible for 32 percent of the company's total sales that fiscal year.
I love the old school version of Office, and it's the main reason I've never given my heart fully to my iPad. I'm a grown woman. I can't take notes on a cartoon version of a legal pad in Comic Sans font, or whatever that font is called. Office is what won me over to buying the Surface. The Surface is woefully lacking in apps, so I'm still a heavy iPad user, but I love my Word.

Women empowerment at the cost of mens liberties
19 December, 2008
Under the barb and paradoxical veil, the capitalists are running the shop of selling womens rights and the price is paid by men. Womens empowerment is at the cost of mens liberties, against all tenets of natural justice.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT, women equality, etc. seem to be the buzzwords these days with more and more articles coming about increased awareness amongst women about their rights. Since so many decades we have been hearing of these campaigns and they are still running. Feminists still seem to cry about women rights and women empowerment and women equality. For the past almost three decades women empowerment is happening and crores of rupees are spent on it every year and yet if the need for the same is felt, then either something is wrong with the women or their empowerment.
Whatever be the cause, in all this efforts by the various lobbies and groups, the real cost of women empowerment is being borne by men. Whenever men try to talk about their problems / rights / issues, they are subdued saying women empowerment is more important and their problems always take a back seat, when it comes to implementing solutions. And that is the reason in the past 60 years, not a single rupee has been spent for men's welfare. One of the most active areas where women equality echoes is the institution of marriage in India. Marriages in
has always been projected as a 'necessary evil' for women and in this process it is the men who are made to pay the price and are told to adjust / compromise at all times, asking them to do so in the name of women equality. So what exactly is this equality, let's look at it with a few examples:
If a wife wants to open joint account with husband's salary account – then it is her right and she is preventing misuse. On the other hand, if husband wants to open a joint account with his wife's salary account, he is interested in her money. And he needs to be sent to jail for dowry harassment.
If wife asks her husband to stay away from his parents, then she does not want any interference from in-laws. When husband asks for the same from his wife to keep little distance from her parents he will be thrown out from the house as per the Domestic Violence Act.
If wife ridicules the husband for job then she is encouraging the husband to look for high paying job. When husband asks his wife to look for respectable job - this will be termed as mental cruelty and along with husband all his relatives including parents, siblings will be sent behind bars under IPC 498A.
If wife demands a car from husband then she is improving the standard of living. If husband says that they should have a car, then he along with his mother and sister will be sent behind the bars and will not be freed till the time he does not prove beyond reasonable doubt that he had not demanded any dowry.
If wife demands a flat in her name then she is creating security for the family. If husband says that their family should have a flat on joint name then again he is demanding dowry as flat from wife and in-laws to keep his parents and will be booked as offence punishable along with his mother and sister under 498A and the Domestic Violence Act.
If wife goes to media / her husband's office to complain against husband and in-laws she is asking for justice. If the husband defends his point by replying to the allegations of wife then he is defaming the wife and in-laws and as per the Domestic Violence Act he should be thrown out of his own house.
When a couple gets gifts during the marriage from boy's side then it is considered as
and wife has full right on them, whereas if the husband is given some gift from in-laws then it is dowry and he does not have any right over it.
If wife asks the husband to cook meals then she wants husband to share household chores, whereas if the husband asks his wife to cook meal or help him in getting food articles from market then he is confronted with an argument that he should have married a cook not a lady (read wife).
If wife demands more conjugal relations with husband then it is her right. If husband wants the same from wife then he is committing marital rape, which is an offense punishable with strict imprisonment.
If wife stays away from husband due to any dispute or her own wish then she is said to be protecting herself from cruelties of husband and in-laws. If husband stays away from wife to avoid further confrontation and let things cool down then he has deserted his wife and along with him all his family members are sent behind bars without any investigation under Section 498A of the IPC.
If wife wants to divorce and husband doesn't want so it is normally granted happily by court. If husband wants divorce and wife doesn't want then it is never given by court.
A wife can file innumerable complaints against husband, in-laws, and other relatives of husband in crime against women cell including mother-in-law, married / unmarried sister -in laws, kids from in-laws family. Husband cannot file complaints against wife, her parents or relations. There is no crime against men cell. He does not deserve it, he is supposed to be treated like this only tolerating abuse both from the wife and in-laws and abuse in the form of misuse of laws targeted against him.
Wife keeps the custody of minor child as she is considered to be the natural guardian / friend of the child. If husband wants to keep the custody of the child then he is said to be depriving the mother and child of each other's affections.
If wife wants to manage the accounts and balances of money then she is a better manager and is concerned about the family. If husband wants to do the same job then he is a spend thrift with no concern about the family.
If wife has extra-marital affair then the husband has deprived her of love, affection and other happiness in life, and she will be rewarded for bigamy as per New Domestic Violence Act. If husband has extra-marital affair he is a womaniser and is guilty of bigamy, and will be thrown out of house and all his bank account will be attached.
If wife take some items from home then it is her right. If husband take few items from home then it is a theft and wife does not hesitate to file a case and the system allows the same as well whereas if a husband tries to file a case he is made to run from pillar to post discouraging him to do so.
If wife plays with the child and takes the child to her parents place then she is concerned about child's growth and providing with balanced family life. If husband plays with the child and want to take the child at times to his parents place he is accused of snatching the child from the wife and her parents and is charged with kidnapping.
If wife's parents come and stay with the couple then it is their right. They have given their daughter. If parents of husband come to visit and stay with the couple then they have come to interfere in couple's life and ask for dowry.
These instances are just illustrative and not exhaustive of the clear and visible existing bias against men which is carried out under the name of women empowerment and the women are enjoying it and so they actually never want to achieve true equality. For they know, the day it is achieved, then the women pampering that is happening will stop. For women, women empowerment is a path where the journey itself is more intriguing and fruitful than the actual result and the stakeholders of the system also benefit a lot from this and thus want to carry it on, albeit at the cost of men. The system and the society are not ready to make absolutely any efforts to stop it or give men their due rights. For they know it is easy to instigate women to take such steps and break their marriages. The more the marriages break, the more consumerism increases as more households are formed. Moreover people, especially women, tend to spend more to overcome a relationship stress. Increased consumerism directly helps the capitalists as their invested money rotates in the market and they gain, albeit at the cost of the society and age old values, morals and the family structure and the institution of marriage. The same money is used to fund various women empowerment schemes and promote anti-male laws and thus it forms a vicious circle which keeps sucking blood from the society and the sleep walking society is breastfeeding the monster by not objecting to the ongoing injustice.

We must understand that every right (empowerment) comes with a responsibility and it sometimes takes a generation for the newly empowered sect to realize that . . . patience & education are our only tools, a few must suffer and it is rather unfortunate that our generation has to pay the price. Our lawmakers must realize that India is almost as big as Europe and far more diverse, therefore, judging the entire country with the same yardstick is unjust . . . we have a different taxation system for tier-2 cities & rural India, similarly, the women in rural India are the victims while women in urban India are fast becoming aggressors, so the lawmakers must wake up and have a differential interpretation of 498A or DV act for educated women in urban India. After all, if women have equal right to education. jobs, politics and earning money, they must shoulder equal responsibility of supporting the family whether it is monetarily or emotionally . . . ask for no more !

It takes both husband and wife to make a home and every marital discord or breakdown has its reasons. In order to discover the root cause, one has to delve into the details.Either one of them can be the culprit. Most of the times the marital troubles can be resolved through marriage counseling, not the high-handed, biased attitude shown by Crimes Against Women Cell constables who have absolutely no background in dealing with such issues. Forget about ineptness, they have a vested interest in escalating the problem.

Customer review by CConthefly
The Lithium battery version of this device is much more powerful and reliable and durable than the NiCad version (14.4V). Spend the extra $$ for this one..it's well worth it. Also, this was my first xaction with Walmart online. Went very smoothly and the item arrived within 3 days. 5 STARS!
Customer review by Charlie
Works well, great suction, lithium battery, and charging stand. Bought 2 of these for my daughters and they love them. So much easier than dragging out the vacuum for small cleanups.
