Skip to comments.Nude maid service may be against the law
Posted on 04/09/2012 2:18:53 PM PDT by Army Air Corps
LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - They clean houses, but this new Lubbock business claims to offer nude or partially nude services. It's called Lubbock Fantasy Maid Service.
The owner, Melissa Borrett, tells us she started the business after struggling to make ends meet.
"As a single mother, I had been working a variety of different jobs, including waitressing out at the strip club. I was having to answer to a lot of people," Borrett said.
For $100 an hour she says they will clean your house nude or topless. They opened about a month ago and she says business is booming.
"We've had college students, business people and paramedics. We actually offer a discount to law enforcement," she said.
But is there anything illegal going on?
"We have a very strict no touching policy with this business. There is definitely nothing illegal going on. We really clean houses," Borrett said.
The Lubbock Police Department says otherwise. Coming up tonight on KCBD NewsChannel 11 at 10 we'll tell you how a city ordinance could prevent this business from operating.

There is no public exposure inside a private residence unless someone goes out of their way to make it public.
Wouldnt surprise me if some of these guys leave the blinds open
You can't see inside a house during the day regardless of the position of blinds. I doubt that these services are provided outside of 9am to 5pm.
One needs to be a lawyer for this, but today's laws can be interpreted to prohibit anything and to arrest everyone. The government really wants to know what is happening in your bedroom.
One possible defensive move is to claim that the company is run by nudists, and restrictions infringe on their civil rights. I'd think this as a good defense because nudism is perfectly legal in many places, and certainly on private property. San Francisco allows nudism anywhere in the city (not a surprise, though.)
If she isn't careful, she may become an eeeeevil One Percenter.
I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but I wouldn't avail myself of this service. I am afraid they'd use the "Pay for nude" excuse to do slipshod work.
Is that a knee tattoo?
I've heard of these wacky occutards tagging various parts of their bodies, but the KNEE???
Who does that?
(I know - I know. Some sleaze of a mother who gets paid to clean houses in the nude. Her children must be so proud of her. /s)
Thanks for pointing that out, Bob!
"...yeah and bring some of...those...whatta mean illegal?..each of you had some last time...and catnip, bring the catnip"
Do you mean to insinuate that the nudity may be a distraction? :-)
That would be an interesting business model. "Lacking real skills in your chosen profession? Take attention away from your incompetence by performing your duties in the buff!"
Years ago when I lived in Des Moines, IA there was a topless oil change place called the Boob and Lube.
It differs because of the liquor.
There are totally nude bars in my state but they serve juice instead of alcohol.
Since they are not an alcohol establishment they allow brown bagging and charge a fee to keep it cold for you.
This could lead to many interesting conversations, for example:
while standing at the front door, "Would you like your knob polished?"
Girls don't like to look at nude men, as men enjoy looking at nude women.
I was just about to post the same thing. Glad someone else noticed.
Is that a tattoo or a bruise on her left knee?
According to some who have seen the business owner, you may not want that wish fulfilled.
"Prefer gay clients in the Vancouver area"
Ya think? I'll bet this guy cleans windows, pipes, anything you have that needs cleaning.
And usually the people who use this service are kind of pathetic. I do hope they provide some sort of security for the maids. Background checks and the like. Even regular maid services do that.
.....that there is your first problem.
Where's is the daddy? Do you even know who he is?
.....that there is your first problem.
Where is the daddy? Do you even know who he is?
Yeah, I saw that Seinfeld episode too.
You and Bob ought to get together for beers and discuss the weather.
If she's had a C-Section and the incision site is infected with MSRA...I'm not sure anyone would want to pay for a gander!
Call me naieve, but can't MRSA be cured if you clean/irrigate the infection site and use a strong course of broad antibiotics?
I think you wrongly believe that I think that this should be outlawed. I think what consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. I think that the laws have drifted so far past the line as to be utterly unreasonable. Defenders of banning this will toss up strawmen arguments that the women are at risk of being raped, or that it could easily become cover for a prostitution ring.
And my response is that it's far more likely that both of these strawmen are LESS likely. Higher scrutiny will be given to this service, because of the nudity, and that makes prostitution less likely, and really, pretty much only a moron would decide to hire someone to come to their home and rape them. And if that is their goal, they'll likely go with some illegal cleaning lady who likely won't report it.
I'm sick and tired of government intrusion into my life.
A lot of recent strands of MSRA have become anti-biotic resistant and can cause a lot of damage or death. What gets me is it is usually picked up in the hospital and they would want to make sure she gets long term treatment for their own liability issues.
That, along with knowing the services available in Lubbock, I suspect she is either willfully ignorant, stupid, or lying.
If they truly clean between the cracks, who am I to report them?
Sorry fella, but we really don't like looking at your, ummm, package flying around. Didn't get that from a Seinfeld episode, just the way we girls are.
(don't bother looking up)
JimRob must be snickering while the Admin Mods are ringing his cell phone off the charger begging to delete this thread!
Banana Hammock Alert!
"Is that a knee tattoo?"
Just a bad case of Nekkid HouseMaid's Knee
The female auxiliary of my fraternity conducted this sort of activity as a fundraiser from the early '60's into the early '80's.
Of course, they traveled in packs and had one or more of us burly dudes with them to make sure everybody paid, was respectful and polite.
It was AWESOME!
MRSA? No touching? NOT a problem...
Is that from a new touch-free "scare your dirt away" housekeeping service?
Can Borrett provide a staff picture?
Oddly, TX has no law covering exposure of breasts.
The only aplicable woul dbe a disorderly conduct charge if someone was offended. Even then, it's a citation, or the person has to go to JP to file it if it does not happen in the presence/view of a peace officer.
Nude is another story, unless there is no public view. Even Nude in public has to have an element of exposure of the actual genitals/anus for the sexual gratification of any person. Tough to prove unless there is masturbation involved.
Some maid services don't do windows. This one will do your windows but won't cook bacon.
Does this action make the company a bust?
-—I imagine there are a number of freepers that could tell you, and also why it is morally reprehensible, demon-spawned and just another reason why the US is cursed and will fail. Oh yeah, and shes a liberal.-—
Dude, seriously?
What could possibly go wrong?
Women have always had the sexy plumber/drug dealer in their homes showing them their crack.
This sounds like an equal rights situation to me.
So, all women are repulsed by the bare male form. One learns something new every day.
You may have your finger on something there...
Yep, Africa's future went down a dark hole...
I was especially bewildered by the first sentence: "I am a 25 year old single mom." Notice that she apparently put a "^" above the word "single", appearing to intend to insert "single" between "I" and "am." In other words, it looks like this genius meant to correct her sentence to read, "I single am a 25 year old mom."

Pros: Detailed, "open" feel, Build Quality, Included goodies
Cons: Heavy, Uncomfortable headband
It has started to become a trend that when I review equipment here on head-fi I give a small background regarding my audio experiences, in an effort to provide the reader of the material a better idea of my opinions to ultimately aid in objectifying such a subjective category of audio. For those of you who have read my other reviews you may find this repetitive, but I still feel it is of importance to the quality of the review and for what the reader takes away from it. So... here goes:
I am a young audio enthusiast who is relatively new to the headphone scene. I may not have years of experience with headphones specifically as many of the other members of head-fi have had a chance to have, but I am certainly not new to the world of quality audio playback. Audio fanatics run common in the family, so even from a very young age I have had a vast exposure to high end loudspeaker systems. It is this exposure that I blame for my audio-snob like qualities today, as hearing music played back sloppily frustrates me to the point of frowning or even sometimes removing myself entirely from the situation. Most of my experience comes with external setups, whether it be my exposure to family members' hi-fi loudspeaker systems or my own custom built extensive car set-up (soon to go all out on a home hi-fi system). I am diving into the unrealized headphone niche of audio... being a college student and moving from place to place frequently has made headphones one of the most feasible options for enjoying beautiful sound for the time being. I may be less than a year old in the headphone world, but I am certainly not new to audio in general. I also think it worth noting that I listen to many different types of music for these reviews, and although I usually don't mention the song genres specifically, I think it should be known that I listen to as many genres as possible for these reviews, whether I find such a genre enjoyable or not. Regardless of whether the genre is of my taste, I try to pick out the strengths and weaknesses the headphone offers up for said genre and write based on the sum of all strengths and weaknesses. My best realized sonic experience comes from the Sydney Orchestra playing in the main hall of the Sydney Opera House. With that disclaimer said, I will do my best to draw comparisons from other headphones I have heard as well as make comparisons to external setups for perspective's sake. I hope you find this read informative, and do not hesitate to ask me specific questions if this review did not answer your question.
Comfort: Compared to other headphones I have owned and demoed, I have to say these are probably a notch below average unfortunately. While I have not tried the SRH-840 for more than a couple minutes, I can safely assume that these are probably more comfortable overall, but certainly still have some issues. The clamping force and overall comfort on the ears is just fine. My complaint comes both from the weight of the headphone and from the pressure of the headband. Shure makes quality products, but on their Studio Reference Headphone line it just seems they have struggled in the headband department, as many complaints regarding this physical piece of the headphone are out there for the SRH-840 as well. I find that they are much less comfortable than both my Sennheiser HD448 and CharterOak SP-1 because of the pressure the headband applies on the top of the head. It takes frequent adjustments after as little as a half-hour listening session. On the upside, the velour pads are very comfy and protect against sweaty ears for multi-hour listening sessions, unlike my SP-1 or HD448, despite being closed and offering some isolation (more on this later). Unfortunately I have to report that the comfort on these headphones could be much better.
Durability: Don't let the plastic material choice cause you to draw erroneous assumptions about the build quality of these headphones. They might be on the heavy side, but they're certainly built like a tank. To actually break these things would take some effort, and the hard case that comes with them renders them likely candidate to physically last as long as you want them to. As mentioned earlier, they may not be the most comfortable, but they make up for it in durability. The swivel joints on the Shure aren't even exposed. I really think the only way to damage these without smashing them against something would be to twist the joint the wrong way with some hearty effort. An extra set of pads are even included in case you ruin your current set. Absolutely no worries here.
Sound Quality: Since this is arguably the most important aspect of the review, I will spend the most time on this section and break it up into the logical three categories - Highs, mids, lows.
Highs: Airy, detailed, extended and controlled. Wow, what a combination! For my experience at least, it seems that when the upper registers have the lightweight feel to be as nimble and detailed as I am looking for, I have to pay for it by tolerating a brighter feel. I am okay with a subtle brightness if it does indeed provide the detail in the upper mids and highs, and it usually has to roll off a tad early just so it doesn't provide too much listener's fatigue. These SRH-940s do an incredible job of keeping the highs airy and detailed while never becoming bright. The control of the highs is even more impressive when you hear the upper register extension these have to offer. I haven't quite heard extension like this in a headphone... in fact these SRH-940s maintain high frequencies like many of the loudspeaker setups I have heard do, which is quite impressive considering the external setups I am speaking of have a dedicated driver for the highs. The extension reminds me a lot of some dedicated MB Quart car tweets I have, but the Shure's don't require the rest of the frequency to have ton of juice to keep up. Even more so, the highs remind me of an external setup in the sense that it seems they have a volume sweet spot. Since external setups often have dedicated drivers for specific frequency ranges, it is not uncommon to hear the balance of the setup change slightly as you increase or decrease the input power. Often each set of drivers will have slightly different sensitivities to the input power and thus turning the volume knob can generate changes in balance. Usually there is a volume sweet spot for which the system in tuned for. I notice these balance changes as I up the volume outputted from my FiiO e7/e9 combo, and that these headphones have a sweet spot. The presence of the highs seems to become extreme passed this sweet spot and there seems to be a slight emphasis on the mids below said sweet spot. This, of course, is somewhat subtle but still worth noting as I don't observe these balance changes as drastically in my other headphones. This intrigues me since the headphone only uses one driver per ear cup, and is most likely indicative of an impressive soundstage.
Mids: Always my favorite part of the spectrum... if it can't do midranges it isn't for me. In my opinion the mids are very neutral in this Shure. It seems as their purpose is just to tie the highs and lows together, and this gives it a very natural feel. The vocal ranges certainly aren't as juicy as they are in my CharterOak SP-1 but are far from veiled or colored. Just like the highs, this range is very well controlled and imaging is superb for a headphone, especially a closed one. The upper mids definitely contain more detail than that of the lower mids, and overall I find the detail in the midranges to be ever so slightly behind the SP-1. The imaging however in the Shure is quite impressive, giving you more a "room" (wide) feel than the "hall" (direct) feel the SP-1 does. The SP-1 puts you a little closer to the music and the Shure makes you take a step back. The SP-1 presents the music more athletically while the 940 gives it more of a laid back feel, while both sounds still remain "analytical". I also find my SP-1 to be very mid-forward, so that may have something to do with it. Honestly, because of the nimbleness, increased detail, and clinical feel in the midranges from the SP-1 I would probably dub it a better "reference" studio monitor than the SRH-940 (SP-1 was also more money), but I'm finding I prefer the Shure when I just want to listen to the music and not think about it. When extension is the most impressive aspect of this headphone, it shouldn't be surprising that the mids have less to comment about. That being said, I have no real substantial complaints about the midrange - they are very natural and "fair". If anything they swim in the large sonic space the SRH-940 offers without feeling empty or gapped, and give one more bullet point of evidence towards the above average soundstage.
Lows: This could be the most difficult aspect of the headphone to asses for a couple of reasons. It doesn't help that I am very picky with my bass, and I feel that it is the first to go as you work your way into cheap options. Bass presence usually is never the problem, but bass quality almost always is. It seems so common that bass is overdone and spills into the mids, drowning it out. I prefer bass that carries some impact, but more importantly carries tone and recovers promptly. The first thing I notice when equipment is underpowered... whether it be headphones, car components, or speaker towers is the bass becoming sluggish and lagging behind. Obviously amplification makes huge differences throughout the spectrum, but in the bass is where I generally hear the most substantial difference. I noticed the same with the SRH-940s. Straight out of an iPod classic I noticed that the mids and highs were hardly affected, but the lows lost a lot of texture and layering, most likely due to bass notes not recovering fast enough and leaking into each other...leading to more drug out than separated notes. These sound fine unamped, but MAN if you throw some real juice behind them the bass just tightens up and becomes layered, fast, deep, and noticeably impactful at least. The low end extension of these headphones is nearly as impressive as the extension in the highs, effortlessly hitting very low notes with more volume than other headphones I have tried or owned. The bass reminds me a lot of the bass in the Senn PX-360 but with WAY more control to it and no bleeding into the lower mids. In fact, if anything they have a slight recession in the low mids/midbass region which help with this bleeding effect. Do I prefer this recession? Not entirely, as I feel my SP-1 seems to love this range while still preventing the "bass bleeding" into the mids. The Shure certainly makes a nice sonic compliment to the SP-1 for this reason. This ever so slight recession in the mid bass is probably my only true complaint of the Shure SRH-940 with regard to sonic signature. All the rest of my mentioning was more comparison and appreciation of difference rather than dislike. I will conclude this section by saying the bass extension, layering, and texture are all very excellent while the bass impact is fine and the recession in the midbass region is mildly frown-worthy.
Additional Notes: The "extras" that come with this headphone are excellent. Shure includes a nice hard zipper case that should protect them quite well if you are a frequent traveler. Inside the case are an extra set of velour pads (which are removed from the headphone very easily, yet still remain secure during use), a removable straight AND coiling cable (very nice of you Shure), and room for a portable player/amp if you want.. my iPod and e7 fit just fine.
Isolation is fine/average - better than my loose fit SP-1 and slightly worse than my HD448... I'm guessing due to the velour pads. I will say that for how big of stage and the imaging they provide.. it is impressive these offer the level of isolation that they do.
I will say that it is subtle but nice that they quantified the notches on the side of the headband so you can get the extension of both sides of the headband right the first time to allow quick fitting. If I let other people use the headphone and they adjust the band I can remember "if I set both sides at setting 3 that it will be comfortable" and that is nice.
Both cables come 3.5mm terminated with the ability to utilize the threaded 6.3mm adapter. Both cables attach into the left ear cup via a twisting lock.
Nutshell: Most definitely a treble lover's headphone. It does well with instrumental and string oriented music. They sound fine unamped, yet utilize an amp very well. This means that if you're looking for a headphone that will run out of a portable device or anything unamped and know you may upgrade to a better amplifier later, these are safe bet. Just remember that these (to my ears) seem to have a volume sweet spot and you may have to do some tinkering to find that once you amp them. For 300 dollars, I would say you're getting what you paid for. The sonic signature is gorgeous and really the only hiccup is the slight midbass recession... but the control and extension in the highs and lows combined with the large soundstage and solid imaging make this headphone easily worth 300 dollars. Value wise, I think it would be tough to say these are anything other than "solid", especially considering all the goodies you get with them.

We've had quite a weekend. Monumental in many ways, and totally ordinary in others. First of all, everything is just about in full bloom right now. The apple trees are lighting up one by one with pale pinkish-white blossoms, and are all abuzz with bees. The pear tree is at it's pinnacle of absolute blooming beauty. Right now. In a day, or perhaps even today, the steady fall of petals will begin and fruit will start to appear. She should really live it up while she's still got it.
And then there are the not fully bloomed but equally spectacular apple trees getting ready to burst into glory.
The rhubarb snuck up on on us before we expected it. This early bird of a fruit makes a damn tasty beverage too. It's rhubarb-onade if you haven't heard about it. Recipe to come, after we make it!
Speaking of recipes, this here is Dandelion Soup, made by Asa and Axel. Ingredients are: stagnant rain water, sticks, plum seeds from last season, grass, dandelions and a big rubber blue ball.
My main man Andy had a rock show reunion this weekend. Humpy played on Saturday night with other Missoula vintage faves Sasshole and Spanker. What a line up! I haven't seen Andy rock out since the late 90's. They did not disappoint either. Some highlights were the oh-so-nostalgic mosh pit that formed a few songs into their set, the fact that smoking is now prohibited so you don't go home smelling like a giant cigarette butt, and drinking PBR. I was home by 12:30, and felt great the next day. As a thirty something mother of two, you couldn't ask for a more perfect rock show.
In Agnes related news:
She now has three eggs in her nest, and she diligently sits atop them all day. We don't even use the front door anymore, so as not to scare her. Though a few times by accident one of us has flung open the door only to be met with an angry Agnes. She flies over to the fence post, looks you straight in the eye with her head cocked a bit, and unabashedly chirps you out. Then, when you've given her sufficient space, she'll fly back to her nest, fluff her feathers and settle down onto her eggs, looking quite smug I might add.
Agnes is pretty much always on her nest, except this morning. I noticed another, smaller, more red-breasted robin was perched on the side of her nest. I found it curious, so watched for a minute. I'm pretty sure this new robin is a male, because of his more red breast, so I'll call him Tom. After a few minutes, Tom flew off, and immediately Agnes flew back into her nest and settled on top of her eggs.
I haven't done my research yet, I aim to tonight, but could it be that the male mate helps protect the nest? I've noticed Tom hanging around in the front yard near the nest prior to this. But this was the first time I've seen him actually baby sitting the eggs while Agnes was off shopping or whatever. In light of this new information, I now have a total bird crush on Tom.
Do any of you have some robin nesting habit knowledge you'd like to share?

A classic French sauce, and if you've never had homemade Mayo, you've never had the good stuff. I whipped up a small batch last night and topped some grilled chicken breasts with it, and it was awesome.
Put into a blender (or a bowl, if you are a masochist and want to use a whisk for this):
1 whole egg, and one egg yolk
2 teaspoons of lemon juice (ReaLemon works great)
A pinch of salt
1 pinch of ground mustard
1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional, but it makes it rock)
Blend on the lowest setting, and drizzle in up to a cup of oil.
For the chicken breasts I wanted to use the mayo as a sauce for, I blended it until it was still slightly non-solid. It can be blended until completely solid (solid isn't quite the term, but what I mean is like what you'd get in a jar at the store), but for the love of the FSM don't blended it past that point, or else it will break and you'll have a nasty mess (or so I've heard). Use it to top damn near any piece of meat, and if there are any leftovers, use it to make a salad the next day (the chicken salad I made with the leftover breast with the mayo and some celery was great).
Oh, and homemade Miracle Whip?
Miracle Whip ain't food.

The band started as a trio of three friends who got bored with the monotony of the life they had in the town of Teignmouth, situated in Devon. They started taking serious interest in music right at the age of thirteen.

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the Jordan-US Business Forum
Amman, Jordan
21 May 2011
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate
Distinguished Guests,
Thank you. It is an honor to help inaugurate the first Jordan-U.S. Business Forum. I am delighted to welcome some newcomers to Jordan ... and see some old friends as well. I just concluded a visit to the United States where I met with President Obama and other officials. It was yet another opportunity to reaffirm the long-standing strategic relationship between Jordan and the United States.
This Forum recognizes the very special role of the private sector in our countries and the world. Of course no single sector acts alone. But great businesses have unique capabilities: to create and innovate ... to open new markets ... to marshal talent ... and to expand opportunity.
Today, it is absolutely essential to bring these full benefits to the Middle East. And I am here today to say: 'No-where are the opportunities more powerful - more enduring - more ripe - than in Jordan.'
We meet here in the light of historic events in the region. The Arab Spring has brought a wide range of action and reaction, from violent unrest to peaceful protest and dialogue. But everywhere, we can hear a basic message. People want a better life ... economic security ... a say in how society is organized ... and respect for their human dignity.
The voices of young people are especially urgent. Here in Jordan they make up more than three-quarters of our population. They expect and deserve the opportunity to build positive, thriving futures.
Much is involved in bringing these expectations to reality. One element is relevant to this Forum today. Growth, jobs, and prosperity will require the participation of a healthy private sector in the region ... and investments and partnerships from the global economy beyond.
Jordan is determined to move forward with reform. More than a decade ago, our country began the difficult task of comprehensive, structural change. There have been setbacks - but also successes, which you will hear about at this Forum. We have changed laws and processes ... and more: we are fostering and rewarding the spirit of innovation and change needed to grow business and create opportunity.
And more gains are in the works. Jordan's commitment to unity, stability, and progress is rock solid. Civil-society leaders from many different sectors are working together in a dialogue on our future ... including concrete measures to achieve our goals.
Economic reforms that are already in place will be re-enforced. Economic reforms that are on the drawing board will be carried forward. This is my commitment, and Jordan's commitment. And for a simple reason: we know our people's future depends on it.
This is one reason businesses can look to Jordan with confidence. But it is not all. An unparalleled geostrategic location and positive relationships make us a logical hub for regional and global trade. We enjoy F.T.A.'s with the United States, Canada, Europe, Turkey, Singapore, and every Arab country. Just this month, the Gulf Cooperation Council welcomed Jordan into joining the group. The G.C.C.'s response validates Jordan's excellent regional position, safety, and growth potential. We are excited about the future.
Indeed, Jordan has one of the most dynamic and diversified economies in the region. Today we are fighting our way through the global economic crisis that has hit this region so hard. Government is doing its utmost to facilitate job opportunity, productivity, and growth. Incentive programs welcome global businesses. We are investing in education and infrastructure. Laws and regulations protect foreign companies to the same level as domestic entities.
We also offer an outstanding workforce - young, skilled, and motivated. They bring valuable knowledge of regional markets, cultures and customers. They are also aware of a world far beyond the region's borders. Today's young Jordanians were raised in a global environment of internet connectivity and real-time communications. We have the highest penetration of bilingual English-Arabic speakers in the region.
All this talent provides a market-ready pool for manufacturing, business-process operations, tourism, I.T., and more. Highly successful companies headquartered here are demonstrating our great position as a base for global growth. We are keen to encourage new opportunities.
Alternative energy is another area prepared for expansion. Recent discoveries in Jordan have revealed the 11th-largest uranium deposits in the world. The time is now to discuss wind, solar, and nuclear power in Jordan's future. Energy security and environmental safety are strong priorities. Join us in pioneering marketplace answers for the developing world's rising energy demand.
My friends,
Let me make a bold statement to companies doing business in the region: my country will do what it takes to create growth for you and for us. We will work in public-private partnership ... we will provide the resources required to optimize investments ... we will sit down with you in dialogue about process, services, and goals.
Jordan's commitment to the future is secure. It has driven our long work for regional peace ... and with America's help, peace will succeed. And our same belief in the future is driving our determination to open the doors of enterprise and opportunity.
But we cannot do it alone. We need partners, to build prosperity that lasts - in my country, and in my region.
This year's short-term dislocations should not take our eyes off the prize: a region of 350-million consumers ... key strategic resources ... tri-continental access ... record economic growth ... and vast potential.
Global businesses that move to join us early will send a signal of good faith that will be heard and remembered across the region. I hope you will be among them.
Again, thank you for your participation in today's Forum. It has been a privilege to help inaugurate this important event. I wish you the greatest success.

Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, will release its much-anticipated Windows 7 operating system to manufacturing on Monday, the 13th of July, 2009. The move once again confirms that Windows 7 will become available this Fall.
The estimated retail prices for full packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
In addition, Microsoft will offer people in select markets the opportunity to pre-order Windows 7 at a more than 50% discount. In the U.S., this will mean users can pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium for $49.99 or Windows 7 Professional for $99.99.
Microsoft has been working hard to improve user interface as well as performance in Windows 7 and make the new OS much more user friendly overall. Many reviewers and early adopters agree that Microsoft has succeeded in improving its desktop OS dramatically. Microsoft Windows 7 will also bring numerous further improvements, including DirectX 11 application programming interface, as well as support for touch-based input.

Thanks for support in Loppet, etc.
To the editor:
I would like to compliment all who helped run or participated in the Lake Placid Loppet Saturday, Jan. 26.
The race was well run and the track condition immaculately prepped. Thanks, ORDA!
All the volunteers were fantastic, especially the group of young people on the biathlon side at the last feed zone who took it as their personal responsibility to make sure every single skier was adequately fed and left their area energized, recovered and with a smile, ready to ski as well as they could on the finishing leg of the course.
Congratulations to all the skiers out there. Every single one was an inspiration to me. And I was, and still am, impressed with all the really fast, talented and fit Nordic skiers of all ages this Tri-Lakes area has. Mind-boggling!
Lastly, to all my personal friends from over the years who have been so encouraging to me to start back on a path of health and fitness through cross-country skiing, thank you. You helped me carpool to go skiing, with ski passes, with advice, with encouragement and with great company skiing. You beep your car horns at me and hang out the car window yelling at me when you see me trying to ski on 1 inch of snow in the park. And you were there at the finish line with a grin and a hug, just as happy that I completed my ski as I was.
I am truly fortunate to live in this community.
I hope everyone has a great winter and will keep making this a better world, one cross-country ski at a time!

One of the finest paddle effects in existence. you show a black metal paddle with three rubber bands. Throwing three coins on the table you take one and slide it under a rubber band. The magic paddle creates a duplicate coin on the other side of the paddle. You repeat for all three coins until you have doubled your money. Now you remove all six coins to show your reward. It's not over - after showing the paddle empty, a hundred dollar bill appears on the paddle, trapped under the rubber bands. You remove this, show the paddle then reveal the secret - it's all done by mirrors. A mirror appears on both sides of the paddle!

Doctoral training in health promotion sciences is designed to produce independent researchers who can study the causes of health-related behaviors and can also design novel and effective interventions to prevent disease and promote health. We believe strongly in a mentorship model where close research collaboration between students and faculty, as well as coursework, produce independent researchers of national and international reputation. Toward that end, we keep student to faculty ratios low and foster ongoing collaboration between students and faculty from the beginning of their training until their successful completion of the doctoral degree.
Program faculty comprise world leaders in health promotion and disease prevention research. They collectively bring a robust record of National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other funding, a wealth of scientific and administrative expertise, numerous successful ongoing funded research centers and projects, hundreds of peer-reviewed publications, and decades of experience in graduate training program development and operation. Their research and service focus on the needs of our Southern California communities and communities throughout the Pacific Rim, South Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

Oral Questions

Candice Bergen Portage—Lisgar, MB
Mr. Speaker, Bill C-23, the Canada-Colombia free trade act, has been filibustered in the House for over 30 hours. The NDP and the Bloc, with the support of the Liberals, are wasting Parliament's valuable time, holding up an agreement that would create new business opportunities for Canadians, create jobs and encourage economic growth across Canada and in Colombia.
Could the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade tell the House why the Liberal Party should finally stand up and support this free trade act?

Mr. Speaker, the reality is the opposition parties are allowing their partisan ideology to fritter away an opportunity for Canadian companies to have access to Colombian trade in front and ahead of their competition.
The reality is we need the Liberal Party to support the Colombia free trade agreement. We need it to support Canadian companies. It is time the Liberals did it. Get up and support—

Oral Questions
November 18th, 2009 / 2:55 p.m.
Gerry Byrne Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL
Mr. Speaker, putting consumers first is an interesting slogan.
The House may recall when the Minister of Transport voted in favour of my motion to bring in new, robust, legally binding protection for airline passengers. However, what members will not recall is that prior to the vote, that same minister, the industry's regulator, ordered professional lobbyists to mount a public relations campaign to undermine the very policy of which he voted in favour.
Which is it? Is it the lobbyists who are running the transport department, or is the transport department running the lobbyists? This collusion occurring between the government regulator and the airline companies must end. When is airline passenger protection coming in?
Airline Industry
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, we are obviously tremendously concerned for the many Canadian families, people with small businesses and the travelling public. They face challenges with weather conditions. Then there are mechanical issues and other problems with our airlines.
However, we have been working constructively. We have put forward some new public policy. We have worked constructively with the airlines. We are pleased with some of the new proposals that have come forward.
Right now before the House, there is legislation, sponsored by the NDP, which I confess I voted against, that is being considered in committee. The committee will hear from the public, the industry and consumer groups. We look forward to hearing that input.
National Defence
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Christiane Gagnon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, after spending years contaminating the water in Shannon, now the federal government is continuing to go after the victims by seeking a review of the 2007 ruling by a Quebec court that authorized a class action. Yesterday, Quebec's environment minister deplored the federal government's general attitude toward this matter and said she is infuriated at what has happened. She also criticized the federal government for withholding information.
How can the minister responsible for the Quebec City region continue to keep mum while the Department of National Defence continues to show such bad faith?
National Defence
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Central Nova
Nova Scotia
Peter MacKay Minister of National Defence and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway
Mr. Speaker, let us be very clear. We have great sympathy and concerns for anyone affected by the situation involving the water in Shannon, which is why we have invested significantly, in fact, $40 million initially to improve the water system and another $13.3 million to complete the construction of the existing water system to help the people of Shannon. That initiative was taken by my colleague from Quebec.
The issue with respect to the court is an issue over the review of disclosed material. It is the government's view that this case has no longer qualified as a class action suit and we are moving to have it dismissed. However, with respect to the people of Quebec, the people of Shannon, we will continue to work to find solutions.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, a large road sign in my riding describes the federal and provincial governments partnership with the title "Canada's Economic Action Plan".
According to the federal government, infrastructure projects are supposed to provide work opportunities for small and medium size B.C. businesses. A million dollars of B.C. taxpayer money has gone to a Washington State company, giving us another example of the government's continuous outsourcing of contracts and jobs, work that could have been done in B.C.
Is the Prime Minister aware of this practice and if so, is this his response to the buy American policy of the U.S. government?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, we are making investments in infrastructure in every corner of the country. We think it would be disastrous if we reverted to protectionism, something that would kill jobs around the world and lower the standard of living for everyone.
We have had a particularly strong partnership with the province of British Columbia, making investments in the Southern Interior, on Vancouver Island, in metro Vancouver and in the north.
We are very proud of the infrastructure investments we are making. We are so proud of these infrastructure investments, we have even put a sign up in front of each one of them, showing how transparent and accountable we are to the taxpayers in British Columbia.
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Rodney Weston Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, our Prime Minister is travelling abroad, enhancing Canada's profile on the world stage and opening many doors for Canadians. Meanwhile the opposition parties are attempting to undermine Canadian fishers' interests in international waters off the east coast by rejecting a modernized and widely supported fisheries convention.
Could the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans tell the House why these political games are so off the mark?
Fisheries and Oceans
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Gail Shea Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
Mr. Speaker, this government has cleaned up NAFO.
The Atlantic offshore fishing industry supports the new NAFO convention. So do inshore fishers, so do union leaders and so do independent international legal experts, but the opposition parties are playing political games. The Liberals completely ignore Newfoundland and Labrador industry calls to protect its interests and then they claim a moral victory.
First it was the sealers. Now it is the fishers. It proves, once again, that the Liberal leader does not understand the Atlantic Canadian fishery.
House of Commons Procedure and Practice
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Peter Milliken
It is my great pleasure to table today, in both official languages, the second edition of the House of Commons Procedure and Practice—La procédure et les usages de la Chambre des communes.
As many hon. members know, the first edition was released in 2000 by my predecessor, the hon. Gilbert Parent, and quickly became an indispensable tool for all those who work on Parliament Hill.
This second edition, edited by the Clerk of the House, Audrey O'Brien, and the Deputy Clerk, Marc Bosc, reflects current practices and procedures and contains 6,952 footnotes and about 1,500 pages in each English and French volume.
Members will be interested to hear that the second edition includes references and precedents to the end of the first session, 40th Parliament, which is December 2008, as well as many new and revised tables and figures, a bibliography and an expanded index.
For those hon. members who prefer their consultations done electronically, an HTML version of the text will be launched at the same time.
I would like to thank the more than 150 dedicated individuals who contributed to the drafting, revision, layout and publication of this book.
I encourage all hon. members not only to consult this work but, indeed, to read it from cover to cover. It is great bedtime reading. I assure them they will find it quite engrossing, as well as informative.
I invite all hon. members to join me in Room 216 for a reception to mark this very special occasion.

Topic: Model Association Question [Solved]
Hi, after going through many rails books I am a little lost.
For active model to work example
class parent
has_one :child
class child
belongs_to :parent
So if I specify parent_id in the child migration file and the child_id in the parent migration file.
If I do
@parent = Parent.find(1)
Then I do
It keeps saying child method not found. Shouldn't Rails knows that the child belongs to parent and create a child with the corresponding parent_id?

Virgil died Oct. 7, 1985. On June 20, 1987, she was united in marriage to Dennis Hoppe at Waverly Lutheran Church in rural Trimont. After their marriage, they lived in rural Trimont, where they raised animals of all sorts. They later moved into Trimont.

This is fantastic stuff!
Just saturate your HUMI-CARE jar with a small amount of distilled water and the beads absorb and expand. These specially-formulated beads contain a humidity-balancing solution of propylene glycol, so you're assured of a slow, steady release of moisture and constant humidity of 65-70%. Each refill with water typically lasts 1 to 2 months, and each jar can be refilled over and over for up to a year before replacing. It's a no-brainer, ideal for 25-150 capacity humidors - grab a couple of jars if you have bigger humidor or multiple shelves. Keeps your stash in good stead and means very, very little babysitting by you. Each jar is 4oz.
2.5"H x 2.63"D
Thing works like a beast. I never need to worry about how my humidor is doing.
Still keeps going. Threw this in with others in my new 600 count humi. As I start adding more stogies, humidity is staying at between 67 ~ 70.
Great product. Keeping my cigars fresh and tasty.
Wow, this little jar really works. I have a 250 count humidor. This little jar keeps me right at 72%, so I'm glad I did my homework. Thanks CI!
Brilliant! It works exactly as advertised. It keeps my humidor at a constant 70%. It's well worth the purchase.
I put off trying the gel humidification for years because it just seemed like the easy way out to me, but then I gave it a try. What an idiot I was for waiting! These jars make humidification a no-hassle task. VERY well worth the small price to pay.
Seems to be working fine, I use it for my large humidor in conjunction with some Boveda humidifying packs. The only negative I have with this jar was that the inner-lid that keeps the beads inside is pretty lose, so be careful when you grab the jar (I thought the lid would be tighter like my Xikar Jar which I had previously used).
Good purchase, I was going through the packets every few weeks and these beads have been great, saving me good money.
Much better less watching and checking.
Take it easy with these little beads!!
These work perfect for 50 ct humidors!!!
Work's great and hold's humidity just like it say's.
Seems to do its job. Very low maintenance.
Works as advertised.....happy humidor!
Simple to use, works great, even pre charged from the get go. Lasts for a couple months before needing more water, highly recommend.
Wonderful product, keeps my humidor at the proper levels and my cigars in wonderful smoking condition. This is the "set it and forget it" of the humidification world and if the crystals start to shrink just at a little distilled water and you're good to go.
A nice alternative to cheap foam disks. The only problem I had was with the size of my humidor. It was too small (50 count) to hold the jar and the cigars. Would be great in a larger humidor.
this product is great for a novice like myself. it is simple and works great in the toughest of environments.
Threw this in my 50 cigar humidor about a week ago and its been sitting at a solid 70%, my stock humidifier was crap compared to this! Defiantly recommend this to everyone.
These are great. I filled the jar to the line with distilled water and placed them in the corner of my humidifier. I was of course leary like any cigar lover and watched over them like a mother hen. However rest assured I did get a constant 70 which is great this of course coupled with a digital Hydrometer was the key. Put these babies in and who dont have to check in for at least a month.....These are a must have.....happy smokes
Just what I needed, back on track.
Directions are a bit hard to read. Just add some distilled water and viola.. A+++
it seems to be working great keeps my humidor right at 69 percent
Awesome! Just pop it in your humidor! Butterfield for President!
I have not had much luck with this product, unfortunately. I have a fairly large humidor and it they still takes up a lot of space, and it seems like I have to constantly refill them with water. They are a little more expensive but I would recommend the humidification packets, which seem to keep your humidor at a more constant level and leave more room to stock up on additional cigars. I've just had too many fluctuations using these to recommend them. May work better in a small humidor that isn't full and can spare the extra space.
It takes a lot to impress me enough to write a review on anything, but I gotta say these humidification elements are nothing short of miraculous. I live in AZ where temperature and humidity levels change drastically throughout the year and it has made it difficult/impossible to maintain humidity levels. I have two decent sized humidors and was having mold issues with the traditional water elements so I had to clean/sterilize the humidors and switched over to Xikar gel elements to prevent having future mold problems. Humidity levels would not rise about 60% and ended up ruining about 40 cigars. After being unable to get the humidors to achieve correct levels, I stopped storing cigars in them since I assumed it was something wrong with the humidors. After reading the reviews for the Humi-Care units I decided to give them a try. I ordered in some Humi-Care elements from CI along with a big bottle of Cigar Juice, and after getting the elements "juiced" I put them in the humidors. Within an hour both humidors were holding steady at 72% humidity. Dropped 70 cigars into the humidors and the Humi-Care elements continued to maintain 72% humidity, weeks later the humidity levels haven't budged and the stogies are resting comfortably. I don't know what is different about the Humi-Care units over others on the market, all I know is it WORKS and it works WELL. Don't waste your time with the other stuff, get a Humi-Care element and some Cigar Juice and save yourself a ton of headache. Wish I would have found this stuff years ago.
This product takes all thought out of keeping the perfect amount of moisture
I'm having a problem getting mine to 65-70%. Maybe it's a user error.
These things are AWESOME!!! Just a word of advice though: if you attempt to drain out any excess water, MAKE SURE YOU HOLD THE VENT/LID IN PLACE! or you will be wondering if it is worth it to try and dig all the beads out of the trash can! I decided to just buy a new one. The blow the brands away.
Consistent 70% for my humidor!
What a difference these make in my Humi. I was struggling to stay under the 75% mark with factory pads. I put these in and bam within the hour I was down to 70% and it has not moved from there. Great product.
Very good choice; keeps humidity perfect.
Seem to hold humidity at about 68-70% using a digital hygrometer. Fairly hassle free. Mine arrived slightly dry. Just be careful if adding more distilled water or solution. They expand and can overflow from the container. I only keep the jar in a 50 count humidor. Adding additional humidification causes too much humidity. Overall a good product and low maintenance.
Love these
Works perfect.
I am gonna keep it short and sweet....It friggin works!!! Keeps my humidor at a perfect 70 degrees and it's easy to use. I keep the crystals moist with Humi-care cigar juice. Stupid-proof way to keep your yummy cigars in pristine condition. A must for all cigar smokers.
Works perfectly. Easy, just pop it in, close the lid, done.
If you don't have one of these inside your humidor then there is a problem. Keeps my cigars and humidor at a perfect 70% humidity and you do not have to refill it with cigar juice every 4-5 days. Amazing product!
These are worth their weight in gold! Work great and I find them much easier then tending a sponge.
I had one of these in a humidor I had let sit for at least 2 years. Full of cigars.. (I know, cigar abuse) They were cheap smokes. The jar was in there, a few crumbs in the bottom.. I figured, what the heck, I'll just put some water in it to start getting this humidor back to the right moisture content. I came in the next day and opened the humidor, and it was like the Humi-Care angel came in and put all new stuff in the jar. All the 'crystals' had grown back. If your jar gets dry and looks like it's empty, just put some water in there. It's awesome! They lost a sale as I was going to replace the jar but, they gained a loyal customer. I'll put them in all my humidors now!
good stuff, buy it
Good jar. I keep all of my 5 Vegas in here. Do yourself a favor and tear out the foam humi and replace it with a few humi beads.
I just put one jar in my small humidor this morning, and already my hygrometer is reading a perfect 70-71%!! I am so happy with this product, and happy with this site!Thanks Humi-Care!
I love this addition to my humidor along with the humidifier. It does help to maintain the 70% humidity level. I am a new stoggie smoking person. I am checking my humidor everyday to insure my stoggies are in the propper range of humidity. I did buy a second one for my second humidor and I love it.
Using only this jar in my 50 max humidor, I must say that I have had no issues with consistency in the humidity level. I see very minor fluctuations in the range, but all within the 68-72% range. I initially used the disc humidifier that came with the humidifier and remained frustrated by levels that were too temperamental. My humidor has been in use for a few weeks and was seasoned properly (by following aficionados expert advice exactly). From day one with this product, I have had nothing but perfect levels of humidity without constantly worrying about my stogies. Buy this.
So far so good, does the job.
I just seasoned my humidor for the 48 hour mark and let the gel in for the last 24 hours to make sure everything is 100% for the cigars. Went to bed with the hygrometer reading 75%, woke up and BAM! A PERFECT 70% humidity. Been a couple days now and still a perfect reading of 70%. Havent seen it below or above 70%. Awesome product for every humidor.
great product, reasonably priced
Keeps them fresh
Works excellent and no problems at all. Keeps my humidor at the % that I need it at. Everyone who has a humidor (big enough to at least fit the jar) should own some of these. Satisfied once again CI.
Thanks to CI's incredible prices, I've found myself greatly expanding my cigar stocks. Just as recently as 3 months ago, I was still using distilled water in the pad of my first humidor's included humidification box. Boy, what a pain that was – constantly worrying how long it had been since I last checked the hygrometer – constantly worrying that my pad had dried out. These crystal bead jars are fantastic. I started with a second 100 capacity humidor and these 4oz jars, and realized that they were not drying out, even over the course of weeks. At 2.5 inches wide and 2.25 inches tall (with the lid off), they take up a corner, but placing them at the end of 5 inch long cigars, that fits pretty well. I recently bought a 300 capacity humidor, and use two 4oz jars in that one – mostly so I don't have to refill as often. While I still use the hygrometers in all four of my boxes, nothing ever needs to be adjusted. I love that! Planning to take the beads out of the jar and use them in a custom plastic box? No problem, the perforated lid can be removed easily; it's snapped in place – not welded (I was curious about that after reading the other reviews here).
Awesome product! I'm using it in the Milano Glass Top 100 count humidor. Easy to use and maintain.
Perfect jar for everyone. Just add solution or water an your humidor becomes a Perfect enviroment. I own 3 myself almost a year ago.
This is really great stuff! You get all the humidity you need inside a convenient jar. I got one of these for my 100 count humidor and it works great! Keeps my humidity at a constant 70%. I also love the fact that I can recharge it when it runs out. Great buy!
The Humi-Care product really works. I added distilled water in the jar for a 100 count humidor. After preparing the humidor with sponge and distilled water (just follow directions that comes with new humidor) I am happy with humidity and temperature. The rectangle humidifiers that come with most humidors you have to be charged. I could not reach the desired levels of humidity with the rectangle humidifiers. I took the humidifier out (forever) and only rely on the Humi-Care jar which is what keeps my humidor at desired numbers. I highly recommend this product as it really does work. I have to admit I had little faith in the product but after experimenting it gets 5 out of 5 stars for my 100 count humidor.
The Humi-Care crystals are the perfect no-nonsense way to keep your cigars fresh whether you're a veteran cigar collector or just starting out. It doesn't get any easier to maintain a humidor than with these. I haven't had any mold problems, which was a recurring issue with the "foam puck" humidification elements. The only downside is the physical size of the 4oz jar. If you have a smaller humidor (<100 ct) then I would recommend purchasing the CI crystals (2 oz) instead.
This is a great product, but there are some things you can do to make it even better. The jar takes up to much space, which leads to less room in the humidor. I took a clear plastic box that some I-bolts came in, which was more longer than wide. These boxes are also used for screws, nuts, or other hardware items you may purchase. They make them so you can get out the number of screws you need, then push the lid back down. Using the plastic box lit that is attached to the box it's self. I took a 2X4, layed the lid on top of it, and started punching lines of holes in it. Then I poured the gel beads into the plastic container then laid it on it's side in the humidor. Due to it not being wide, I have more space, and the gel still works just as good as in the jar. I got the idea from the long humidfier I ordered on CI that you lay in water for a couple of hours. It was the same principle as the plastic box I use.
Dont forget to add water because it will never work without it.
I bought a 300 capacity humidor. It's stable at 72 or 74. But the only problem I'm having. I have too many gars an humidifiers plus two home made humidifier. Its taken alot of space. I'm wondering if the device would work better with a fan.
This stuff is like magic! I decided to try the crystals in my 100 count humidor because the humidifier that came with it was keeping my humidor too humid even though I was using the CI Juice. I put the HUMI-CARE Crystals in and by the next morning my digital read 70% and now hardly moves unless I open the box. Great product!
I bought the Humi-care Crystals to go along with my humidor I purchased a Tuscany Cherry 100 count humidor. I just use these crystals without the humidifier and it is at 70-72 %. It is a great.
These work great (HUMI-CARE Crystal Gel Humidification)! I put one in my Tupperdor and it holds a perfect 70%! Amazing!
Just place it in your humi and "forgetaboutit" (HumiCare).
This stuff (HUMI-CARE Crystal Gel Humidification) works and it is amazing. I placed it inside of my hundred count humidor and it keeps the humidity between 70 and 72. This stuff works great. Thanks again. I am going to place an order for two of friends.

AURA derives from the energy which you will be experiencing as a visitor.
First and most important is the energy that flows from the Acropolis of Athens. The view to it is stunning from the living room and the bedroom as well as from the roof top terrace and the swimming pool. It also derives from the renewable geothermal and solar energy systems that were designed to insure heating and cooling, domestic hot water production and swimming pool heating in an environment-friendly way. Last but not least, positive energy is emitted from your hosts and owners who are trying not just to be accommodating but treat you as their own guests. It is only normal the mix has created the Acropolis Unique Residence Apartments.
The apartment is situated on the 6th floor. To visit Athens, it is ideally located in the area of Thission, a residential area at close proximity to all major points of interest during your stay.
Thission is actually the most appealing of all neighborhoods in the center of Athens, for visitors as well as for Athenians. It combines the serenity of the archaeological sites, the pedestrian streets, the neoclassical houses, the museums and art galleries, with the lively cafes and bars, the Athenian family walks during the weekends, and the open air craft market.
The apartment is literally 10 minutes' walk from the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Acropolis museum and other sites, through Apostolou Pavlou and Dionyssiou Areopagitou pedestrian streets. They are characterized as offering one the top most beautiful city walks in Europe. A variety of shops (grocery, bakery, bookstore and many others) as well as some excellent tavernas / restaurants and cafes are found at a 2minutes walk from the penthouse. The owner will be happy to suggest them to you. And if you wish to experience an open air movie theater, Athens Cine Thission has been rated by BBC as one of the 10 most beautiful cinemas in the world (open May-September).
The apartment has direct access to a private terrace refreshed with potted herbs and a cozy little corner to enjoy some nice appetizers. It also leads to the roof top terrace and the swimming pool which are shared with another AURA apartment. The olive, orange and lemon trees and the bevy of chirping birds complement the amazing view to the Acropolis, to the Athens Observatory and to the whole of Attica till the south sea coast. The swimming pool is enjoyed throughout the year as it is heated and covered during the winter season. A unique feeling no other apartment offers in Athens' historic centre.
The view to the Acropolis especially at night is stunning from the living room's sofa as from your pillows when you decide to rest after a wonderful day of exploration.
Amenities also include:
Heating and cooling through fun coils, free Wi-Fi and satellite TV, CD and DVD players. The kitchen is fully equipped with ceramic hobs, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, cutlery, dishes and pans, kettle, French coffee maker, and toaster. Bed linen and bath towels are provided. A spacious walk in closet is designed to make your stay even more comfortable and to keep your luggage, ironing board and iron out of the way. Private parking is available for free in the building's parking lot, upon request. Finally a spacious elevator serves the 6th floor.
Your hosts, genuine, openhearted Athenians will treat you with the traditional Greek hospitality and will be happy to arrange for you tailor made day trips, in and around Athens. A number of services are available upon request at an extra but very reasonable cost, including cleaning service and breakfast served at the apartment or personal trainer and spa treatments.
6.5% VAT is already included in the price.
Airport transport or any other transport is available upon demand at an additional but very reasοnable cost.

Reviews for this host's other properties
After a week in this flat, 5 adults (parents and three grown up "kids"), we just have positive words to say about the flat and the host. We are pretty active travellers and we found the the flat well situated to be a good starting point for excursions in Athens and the neighbourhood. The flat is well equipped, very clean and the hosts responds quickly on any questions. If you need a large flat with more than two bedrooms, you don't need to hesitate about this alternative. But remember Athens is a big city, there's a lot of cars and a lot of noise, this flat is not quiet, but probably one of the better places to stay at.
We stayed 4 people in George's apartment for a long weekend in Athens. I only have good things to say about the flat and George as a host. The flat is very modern and luxurious. There is everything you need from kitchen supplies to bedsheets and towels. Bedroom and living room was very comfortable to stay in. We enjoyed the view to Acropolis from the balcony. The location was perfect - right in the center and walk distance to the main sightseeings and interesting spots. Only a few minutes cab drive to clubs and evening restaurants.
George was a great host who welcomed us with a bottle of wine and tips to Athens. We had a easy and smooth communication over email and he was always polite, friendly and ready to help if needed. We will definitely stay in this flat next time we visit Athens.
everything was perfect.
I had a wonderful stay this summer (2014). The location was perfect! It was close to the beaches a supermarket and even the city center and clubs arent that far! Its a quite nice neighbourhoud with lots of bakeries in the area with delicious sweets, It is also close to the tram and metro lines are easily accesible which makes travelling easy. The house itself was very clean and cozy everything you need it is included! George is a very helpfull and nice caretaker! Whatever question or problem you have you can contact him and he we be assisting you at his best immediatly! I am recommending this amazing beachflat to everyone who wants to have a relaxing good time and close to the good places in Athens! You will feel right at home !
We were very satisfied with the apartment. The apartment was clean and the service was very good and nice. I can only recommend the apartment ....
Wir waren super zufrieden mit der Wohnung. Die Wohnung war sauber und der Service war sehr gut und nett. Ich kann die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen ....
Hello, I had 4 wonderful days in Athens, we were 4 people and the apartment which is also very good and clean. In particular, the proximity to the center, the Acropolis and Plaka has surprised us, on foot it is 10-15min, by taxi it does not cost more than 5 euros. George was a good host. Greeting
Hallo, ich hatte 4 Wunderschöne Tage in Athen, wir waren 4 Personen und die Wohnung was auch sehr gut und sauber. Vor allem die Nähe zum Zentrum, Akropolis und Plaka hat uns überrascht, zu Fuss sind es 10-15min, mit dem Taxi kostet es nicht auch mehr als 5 Euro. George war auch ein guter Gastgeber. Gruss
Very nice appartment. Well situated. great view. Everything was also very well organised. Great trip we had.
Housing consistent with the description, located 20 minutes walk from the metro station Piaeus, which can cause you to Athens Centre for 4 € (for the full day)., Or at the airport for 14 € for 2 people in 80mn .
The apartment is located in 6èeme floor of a pretty quiet building with a terrace overlooking the rooftops. A Carrefour supermarket is 200m, and a lot of small shops are nearby.
Very good internet connection, but the TV programs were not available.
We have not had the pleasure of meeting George with whom I have had exchanges by mail very courteous.
Logement conforme à la description, situé à 20mn à pied de la station de métro Piaeus, qui peut vous amener à Athènes Centre pour 4€ (pour la journée complète)., ou bien à l'aéroport pour 14€ pour 2 personnes en 80mn.
L'appartement est situé au 6èeme étage d'un immeuble assez calme, équipé d'une terrasse avec vue sur les toits. Un supermarché Carrefour est à 200m, et pas mal de petits commerces sont disponibles à proximité.
Très bonne connexion internet, mais les programmes TV n'étaient pas disponibles.
Nous n'avons pas eu le plaisir de rencontrer Georges avec qui j'ai eu des échanges par mails très courtois.
Original apartment, cosy, large,
located in the city center, very close to animated places, ok to visit the city by foot
Clean, well equipped, washing machine, dishwashing...
It's a loft, so if you need intimity, it's quite difficult, room are only separated with trick drapes.
Indeed a charming and fairly spacious appartement. Also, the large balcony - which is not on the pictures - is wonderful. Since the apt. is on the 6th floor you get much sun there, from early in the morning. We had breakfast on the terrace every day!
We didn't meet George personally, but he had arranged for someone else to hand over the keys and was always available by mail or phone. When we missed a blanket and had a problem with the internet connection, it was solved within a day.

Comments: This lure is bomb...Casts a mile and has amazin action... Great bate for clear water and a fast retrieve...yah, basically a sammy!!
Comments: fantastic little lure...ill put it to u this way,its pretty much a sammy for $10 cheaper,yeah its that good!!
From: Stevieboy: Chicago
Comments: I guess I am like most bass fishermen I have a tackle box and garage full of lures that I have collected over the years. I mainly bought this lure for the price because I have enough lures that my kids and grandkids will never need to buy any lures for the rest of their lives. I was amazed at the way these lures cast and the action that they displayed. The bass loved them. The faster you work the bait it tends to dive under a little. I started working the bait as fast as I could and when the bait went under I would let it rest when it floated back to the surface and the bass would jump all over it. What I am trying to say if you don't want to spend a lot of money and still catch a lot of fish, this lure is a steal. I highly recommend that you should get all three of these lures, they will all catch fish. Remember, fishermen are all collectors.

Recent findings from DisplaySearch, a leading display market research firm, indicate that touch and stereoscopic 3D functionality are influencing the development of notebook PC and LCD monitor panels for 2010.
According to the company's latest quarterly Large-Area TFT LCD Product Roadmap Report, panel manufacturers will feature stereo 3D and touch features – even combining them in a variety of new notebook and LCD monitor panels in 2010. In addition, DisplaySearch's findings also indicate that while 120Hz became a mainstream feature for LCD TVs in 2009, 240Hz with LED backlights will be predominant in 2010.
According to DisplaySearch, most panel makers are developing 11.6" wide-screen LCDs with touch functionality for notebook PCs and mini-notes (netbooks) in 2010, leveraging Windows 7 capabilities. Moreover, Samsung has canceled plans to produce 15.6" wide-screen notebook panels with in-cell touch in Q2 2010, in favor of using touch panels.
CMO has been the most aggressive in promoting 3D and touch capabilities in monitor panels. The company is currently mass producing 23.6" wide-screen 3D displays, and 23.6" wide-screen and 27" wide-screen with touch capability will be mass-produced in Q1 2010.
Samsung, LG Display and AUO are all developing new monitor panel models with touch and 3D features for 2010 launches.
