Reviews of this property
Perfekt host. Very polite. Absolutely no problems with the communication or the checkin what so ever. We had an amazing time in Venice thanks to the host.
Very nice but rather dark apartment at very convenient location. We stayed here with 4 people (2 couples). From the advertisement we gathered that there were 2 bedrooms, but in fact there is one big master bedroom with space for another single bed. There is a kind of loft above the livingroom annex kitchen without a door, with just enough space for 2 single beds, serving as a second bedroom. 2 bathrooms is very handy. There is a sofa bed in the livingroom where 2 people could sleep. Giorgia and her partner are very good hosts.
The location of this apartment was great. A quiet little spot to get away from the crowds and not too far to take suitcases from the train station. Everything was great, we would just recommend a few more kitchen items.
Perfect location and decent price. Apartment is very close to main train station and to supermarket. Since it is in the island , There are a lot of restaurants around the apartment. I would highly recommend the apartment to families with children or baby. It is in a very secure and silent area. Thank you very much for everything Giorgia
It was all as the pictures showed. It is somewhat apart (at one end of the main island) but very conveniently located to Piazzale Roma, the train station and the railway Ferrovia. Our hostess gave us much check in late.
Era todo como las fotos mostraban. Está algo apartado (en un extremo de la isla principal) pero muy convenientemente situado respecto a Piazzale Roma, la estación de tren y la estación de Ferrovia. Nuestra anfitriona nos facilitó mucho el check in tardío.
Very clean apartment. Excellent location and very friendly staff. Strongly recommended!

If anything, that makes it less suspect. Why in the world would I change my vote to the second highest vote-getter after it was obvious that obhave would be getting axed? I might as well be holding up a neon sign advertising to the world that I am red at that point. It makes absolutely zero sense to take that risk from a red perspective.
We've all seen people get within a vote or two of getting axed and then along comes a movement that shifts the vote to another person.
She was still 25% short of the eight votes neccessary. Far enough that shifting the vote to a second suspect was still possible.
I stuck with my original vote and wasn't campaigning at all that first day. You on the other hand, sir...

What did legislators really accomplish?
What did legislators really accomplish?
June 14, Flag Day, marks our wedding anniversary. For years, my daughter remembered our anniversary because the curbs of our city neighborhood were lined with flags every few feet.
This year, my city-dwelling daughter forgot. Those little plastic flags no longer fly on city curbs. This simple, heart-lifting act of American patriotism seems to have vanished. Is this indicative of the new American attitude?
Recently I have heard radio ads and received mailings regarding the accomplishments of our local elected politicians. They are touting their promises kept! In one breath I hear new job creation and tax cuts for small business owners, and yet our state legislators passed new taxes for business owners through the warehouse tax.
A postcard brags about instigating repayment of delayed school funding when in fact state law demands the repayment with surplus state dollars.
In 2012, the Republican-led Minnesota State House and Senate created a balanced budget with an $876 million surplus enabling repayment to schools and the state slush fund!
Next year's budget steers hundreds of millions of dollars to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, the Mall of America in Bloomington, Illinois-based Baxter International, Maplewood-based 3M Co., and Missouri-based Emerson Electric Co. Gov. Dayton then line item vetoed $3 million to fight aquatic invasive species in our area lakes.
Even though it was difficult to keep up with all the new legislation this year, it looks like what was really accomplished was an additional $3 billion in new taxes, unionization of home daycare providers, redefining marriage, and future challenges to our religious liberties.
Perhaps Minnesota is ready for a change in direction.
Jan Skjolsvik,
Fifty Lakes

Big changes are taking place that affect utilities companies and their energy trading. Welcoming participants to the roundtable, Norbert Schwieters, PwC Global Power & Utilities Leader, reflected on how "Companies are increasingly engaging in trading to improve and add more flexibility to their asset position. The increase in commodity trading in markets affecting power & utility and gas companies has an impact on short- and long-term contract prices, on price volatility, on the choices faced by end-customers and on the regulatory landscape governing markets."
The new regulations are potential game changers for how companies manage their energy trading. Indeed, they are already having a big impact. This report is not written as a guide to the regulations but, rather, it's intended to give a flavour of how companies are responding and to look ahead at the market implications.

Whether your hair is straight, curly, relaxed, or somewhere in between, here's how to score summer's perfectly undone style.
10 Life-Changing Summer Beauty Hacks Every Girl Needs
Whether your hair is straight, curly, relaxed, or somewhere in between, Sarah Palma from New York blow dry bar, blow, tells you how to score the cool, laid-back summer style.More
Start off with freshly washed hair that you've let air dry, and apply a texturizing spray. Using a medium sized curling iron, take 2-inch sections of hair and wrap it around the barrel, instead of curling up the wand. Take messy sections because you don't want to make it look too perfect! After the curls cool, finger comb and spritz in more texturizing spray or hairspray if needed.
Product to Try: Bumble and bumble. Surf Spray, $25, sephora.com
If your hair is naturally wavy, you can start with day-old locks for a little extra texture. If you want to get tousled waves fresh out of the shower, apply a curl cream, put your hair in a loose bun, let it dry, then touch up any flat sections with a large barrel curling iron. Flip your head upside down, spray all over with a texturizing spray, and lightly scrunch the curls with your hands!

yea, I got one of the $15 uzi barrels, they definitely aren't new but are in relatively good condition, certainly good enough to make a fun plinker out of.

yea, I got one of the $15 uzi barrels, they definitely aren't new but are in relatively good condition, certainly good enough to make a fun plinker out of.
A sten mag might be too long front to back to fit in the mag well right. Only reaso I say this, is that people have cut the re-enforcement rib out of them so that they could use 7.62x25 in a Sten mag. You'd also have to worry about thinning the feed lug so that it would fit through the single feed of the Sten, or re-form the feed lips so that it is double feed like the PPS-43 mags.
Suomi sticks might work, and they're about the same price.
well I am pretty sure an UZI mag won't work, the only one I had on hand was one I built from some sheet metal but the dimensions are at least close, and it didn't fit at all.
Instead of 9x19 look at 9x23, brass is readily avail. and they fill the factory 7.62x25 mags perfectly. If you can reload, this may be just the thing for you. Ballistics are good and they are known to feed in full auto guns with just a bbl change.
brass may be available but ammo isn't that available. I do reload, I'll consider it, where do you find a 9mm largo barrel?
Its NOT largo. Its winchester 9x23 I believe, they will physically interchange but shooting 9x23 in a largo barrel or weapon is dangerous. Let me check my notes and I'll get you the info.
9x23 winchester data: case length .900", max overall 1.300", 115 grain at 1517 fps out of a 5" bbl delivering 587 ftlbs
9mm largo (Bergmann Bayard) data: case length .905", max overall 1.300", 124 grain at 1190 fps for 390 ftlbs.
Although I can't lay my hands on the pressures, I do recall it was 2x more for the 9x23
the 7.62x25 shows a case length of .988" and an overall length of 1.377"
There are several people who can rechamber a 9x19 bbl to the 9x23 winchester.
You can reload with your 9mm dies both 9x23 and 9x19 but just change the depth of the seat etc.
uh i think i'll just stick with my 7.62x25..... its way cheap and very easy to get, and plenty hot enough for anything happening.
That may be so, but 9mm is cheaper, and way easier to get a hold of.
can you get 9mm for less than .10 a round? cause if you can, im all interested!! care to share?
no i dont reload, im too shaky!!!
thanks duti
Okay, maybe I spoke to soon on the cheaper part, but 9mm is still more easily gotten a hold of.

Spring Has Sprung: For Two Days Anyway
I think I have come to fully accept my hockey addiction. I apologize in advance for the hockey overload you have received from my blog, but I figure these are supposed to give you a taste for student life, right? Well, here it is J
RIT (Ranked 2nd) beat Holy Cross (Ranked 7th) in three exciting games! A typical "hockey weekend" consists of a game Friday and Saturday against the same team. This weekend, because it was the quarterfinals, was best of three. The Tigers lost 3-5 on Friday night. The only benefit of this loss was that I got to see THREE hockey games in one weekend! Louis Menard (goalie: #30) made a total of 95 saves over the three nights. The other goalie, Jared DeMichael (#33), was unfortunately out for a wrist injury. After the disappointing game on Friday, the Tigers came back strong and played an amazing game beating the Holy Cross Crusaders 6-4. If that wasn't enough, Sunday nights deciding game wasabsolutely amazing! They pulled of a 9-5 win. Apparently, the 14 total goals made in Sunday's game was a AHA record. The Tigers will be playing Mercyhurst at the Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester on Friday. If you're in the area,you should go support RIT!
(hockey gang at the game! Go Tigers!)
In un-hockey news, WE HAVE WARM WEATHER! Today reached a whopping 57 degrees and tomorrow will be around the same. It's so nice to be able to throw a light jacket on (for the cool-ish mornings) and head out the door. I've never seen so many people outside, well not since the fall, at least. Sure, people do venture outdoors during the winter—we do all attend class after all. But there is something about sunny spring weather that brings everyone outside with their homework, Frisbees, kites, skateboards, etc.
My busy spring quarter schedule is continuing to go well in week two. I believe that my last post was pre-busy Thursday. Eleven and a half hours of classes packed into one day is easier than you might think. It's nice that the classes are so diverse yet interrelated (elements of graphic design, philosophy, drawing and psychology). It keeps the day interesting because there is constantly something new, except at the same time they are very similar so what I'm learning in one carries over to the next. It's kind of funny being in psychology and philosophy classes at the same time, I've never been quite so aware of what I'm thinking.
Be on the look out in the coming month for letters about our"accepted student phone & chat power!" You should be receiving more information in the mail about that at a later date but you can be thinking of questions for us in the meantime!...Or just leave comments on the blogs J
For those graduating, I hope everyone's senior year is going well. Don't let the last quarter get you down, you're almost done!
Comments (4)
Erin HazeltineI was at Saturday and Sunday games as well, I should put up the pictures I was right behind Louie (Louise Menard) and got some great photos, I guess I should find my camera cord!!
I wish I was home this weekend to go to Blue Cross o' well!!
KateyHi Emily. This is completely off-topic, but... How hard has it been for you adjusting from Maryland to Rochester? My daughter has been accepted to RIT, and we're from Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It's quite a hike from home to there, and I was naturally curious.
Thanks for your post!
Katey Bailey
Emily OkeyThat's definitely a good question. Honestly, I've had a pretty easy time adjusting. Sure there is the initial sadness of leaving a place that you've lived for your whole life but i'm finding that there is so much that I want to do on campus that there I'm not homesick. The quarter system makes it harder to miss home too, we're here for 10 weeks working hard and then we get a break to go home. It's nice to be able to focus on your school work and then know that when you're home you don't have to think about homework or anything because it's in between quarters. Weather-wise, it's very different. We actually have winters up here! If you look back at one of my other posts, I describe how to dress for the cold. I don't mind the weather at all, in fact, I've gotten so used to it that I don't even need to dress up like an eskimo anymore.
Yes, it's 6 or so hours away but in reality I don't think it really matters once you get outside about an hour radius of home. It's just one quick flight away (which by the way, if your daughter decides to come here, check out the airtran flights... 50 minute one way from Rochester to BWI for $69. it works out quite well! :)
Hope this helps! If you have anymore questions, just let me know! Are you planning on attending the Accepted Students Reception in DC on Saturday?
KateyHi Emily! Thanks so much for your post. Yes, we do plan on attending the Accepted Students Reception in Bethesda on Saturday. We're looking forward to it.
We also are coming up for a final visit during her Easter break from school. She's meeting with the Department and Financial Aid, and sitting in on a chemistry class.
Thanks for the heads-up on AirTran, and thanks so much for your kind post.
Good luck!

Self-doubt is crippling the Warriors from what I observed in the round one game against Parramatta.
They haven't cleared the wreckage of 2012. Unlike every other team I saw last week, the Warriors didn't look to be enjoying themselves.
It is only round one but this is already a concern. They need to get out of a funk very quickly otherwise the problems will accelerate.
This is a major task for new coach Matthew Elliott, still coming to grips with the dynamics of his players.
The players looked suffocated by doubt. The club looks very well prepared throughout the grades so fitness isn't the issue.
The men who need to lead this team out of a hole are halves Shaun Johnson and Thomas Leuluai and neither got their role right on day one.
Johnson is an instinctive player who likes to crab across the field using decoys but this isn't the right tactic early in games.
Perhaps he could take the defence on initially to keep them honest, but then stand square of the ruck to play the game wide. His role needs to be simplified and more defined, especially early on.
Leuluai likes to get his head down and do everything himself and this prevents him from being able to see his overall influence on the team.
He needs to step back and start organising people around him. I think he has the capacity to do that but his mentality doesn't work that way.
The Warriors were one-dimensional and you won't succeed in the NRL these days with that game.
Their opponents at Eden Park, the Roosters, have halves Mitchell Pearce and James Maloney who like to play square. They will be the envy of many teams because of that.
I was most impressed by the way Sonny Bill Williams went about his first game back in the NRL.
He stuck to the basics, not overplaying his hand. SBW has become a mature sportsman and will be a very influential figure this year.
He will be a league sensation again.

This week we've got a comprehensive collection of recipes from our own Kris Bordessa, excerpted from her very cool book, Great Medieval Projects You Can Build Yourself. So you don't have time or energy or the extra cash to get to a Renaissance Faire this year? Why not make our own at home? The book is written for the 9-12 set, but anyone can benefit from the factoids below, as well as indulge in the historical flavors!
And if olde recipes and thynges pique your interest, don't forget to check out Kris's book on Amazon. Take it away, Kris!
A Medieval Feast
A medieval feast was a grand event. Feasts celebrated special events or honored guests visiting the castle. The food in itself was entertainment and often the castle cooks presented elaborately decorated platters of food. For instance, the cook might serve a roasted peacock that that had its grand tail feathers put back in place, making for quite an impressive dish.
You might think the best dishes and silverware would be used at a feast, but medieval era people didn't use the same kinds of tableware that we do today. Instead of plates, diners each used what was called a trencher — a piece of stale bread. Diners chose food from a common platter using their fingers, and placed their morsels on their trencher. The only utensil that people used at a meal was a knife. This was important for cutting meat. People used their fingers for all other eating. Diners frowned upon people who licked their fingers while sharing a plate with others — talk about bad manners! Between courses, servants brought bowls of water so that diners could clean their hands.
Make Your Own Trencher
You'll need:
- a round loaf of French bread
- a sharp knife
1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Slice the bread horizontally into ½ inch thick pieces.
3. Place the bread pieces directly onto the wire racks in your oven. Bake for about half an hour. If the bread is crispy, like toast, it's done. If not, continue baking, making sure to check it every ten minutes.
4. When the bread is done, use these trenchers instead of plates at your medieval feast (you may want to use a tablecloth!) Continue Reading "Eat Like a Geek: A Medieval Feast" »

Tiki talking about the toughest players he ever played with:
Manning: He may be the toughest Giant yet, physically and mentally. We've all seen him get tossed around, sacked and beaten up. But he always gets up, saunters back to the huddle and keeps on going. More importantly, his mind is impenetrable. When he lost his first eight games in fairly ugly fashion, he focused and got better. When he got booed and disparaged (even by me), he focused and got better. When he won a Super Bowl, he focused and got better. No matter what happens to him — good, bad or indifferent — he focuses and keeps going forward. That's a mental toughness that can't be measured
Also had some good things to say about Ike hilliard, Shockey, Bradshaw and richie seubert
Gotta give Tiki credit here. Awesome article.
good props by Tiki, especially on Ike and Seubert. Its really too bad Richie smushed his knee in the last game of 2010, he would probably still be playing, he was having an outstanding season that year. I also think letting Hilliard walk when he was only 28, just to let Tim Carter fill the perennial revolving door at 3rd WR was one of EA's poorer FA decisions. he proved that he could fill that 3rd WR spot nicely for quite a few years in Tampa.
he did sum it up quite well though. love or hate the guy.

An Eye-Catching Cuban Cement Tile Kitchen Backsplash
An Eye-Catching Cuban Cement Tile Kitchen BacksplashAvente Tile customer, Kelly von Stroh, of Durango, CO, shows how she used Cuban cement tiles to create a kitchen backsplash that not only creates a focal point for the room, but also seamlessly blends in with its surroundings of dark wood cabinetry and brings out the gray tones of the slate flooring. Kelly says not only does she love the Cuban cement tile installation, but so does everyone else that sees this kitchen backsplash.
To help her decide on what kind of backsplash she wanted, Kelly looked for different installations that she loved. She liked an installation she had seen on houzz.com. For this project, Avente Tile's Cuban Heritage Design 110 2B was chosen by Buckminster Green, the contractor, for an eclectic kitchen backsplash on their 5th Street Project. Kelly liked the concept, but wanted something in a different color and with a less modern look and feel. She ordered three samples: Design 140 1A, Design 250 2B and Design 140 3B. In about six weeks, she placed her order and decided on Design 140 3B.
The Cuban Heritage Cement Tile designs originate from patterns re-discovered and salvaged from old homes and crumbling estates in Havana. Cuban Cement Tile designs are different from other cement tiles and are characterized by their use of elaborate patterns, bold colors and prominent borders, very often double borders.
Cuban Heritage Design 140 comes in four standard colorways:
You can also customize the colors in these patterns using the extensive palette available with Cuban Heritage Colors or, you can create your own custom color.
Cement Tile Buying Tip
The cost of freight for small cement tile orders can be as much as the tile. This is common for small projects when using cement tiles for a fireplace, backsplash or small bathroom where residential delivery is required. The cost of freight increases even more when you aren't near a large city or major shipping lane. In the installation shown here, the freight costs were 45% of the total order cost. Also, we do not require you to order a minimum amount of cement tile. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us, or search our FAQs to get the answer you need.
Cement Tile Design Ideas
You can find more cement tile design ideas for kitchen backsplashes, floors and walls in our project and idea books on our houzz.com page, see what were pinning onto our Pinterest boards, and browse through dozens of our Cement Tile Design Ideas portfolio page.
To gain a better understanding of the manufacturing process, we invite you to watch the process of how handmade Cuban cement tiles are made.

A punch aimed directly into someones eye with the aim of blinding them or knocking their eye out. Therefore leading them to wear an eyepatch or a glass eye - very piratey.
I gave a lethal Pirate Punch to Robbie, knocking him off the fort yesterday, he landed on a sharp stick which penetrated his entire body so i don't think his blindness of one eye mattered.

A few weeks ago I even used mine to catch a virgin queen -- I left her in the cage and set it on the entrance where it was quickly covered in a thick layer of workers. Once I had finished and was closing up the hive I took the cage in hand and brushed some of the workers off the cage so I could see the queen prior to releasing her into the top of the hive. There she was, then as I moved the cage down near the tops of the frames, she simply slipped out of the cage and made her own way down into the hive, even before I had begun to open it for her. I guess that makes her a temporarily willing captive. Her own workers were probably helpful in keeping her in the catcher cage while I worked the hive.

Then whats wrong with a cold weather Super Bowl?
Where is it written that the Super Bowl was meant to be played in pristine conditions?
If teams have to deal with fair or unfair advantages in inclement playoff weather to GET to the SB, how is it anymore unfair for one side or another to play in inclement SUPER BOWL weather?
I love it that the SB will be at MetLife...and I hope it's cold as a ***** and snowing like hell too!
And besides watching REAL football...... any bad weather that shortens or cancels the halftime show can ONLY be a plus!

I was kidding - and think that Sasha looks stunning in the picture I posted.
The picture mathman posted of Shiz is also stunning.
And I also agree that Rachael in her prom dress looks great.
You had said before everyone looks fat or chunky at times.
Sasha never, ever looks fat or chunky.
How this thread is just feeding the eating disorders and the idea that only a certain body type is acceptible. Tiny men and women are becoming the norm. Obviously certain ethnic groups have the advantage then. Cohen chunky? Puh-lease! Flatt is fine. Her posture is a little poor but then Dorothy will help I'm sure. There is room for real shapely women with meat on their bones. Anyone wanna say Dorothy is fat now too? I guess Janet Lynn was just too pudgy to be a truly great skater!

She has the jumps. She really needs to work on general presentation, speed, spins.. what everyone else said. She isn't fat though. In my latest International Figure Skating magazine, she's pictured with Mirai and they're about the same size. I think that it's her extreme paleness that makes her look fatter than she really is. Her body fat percentage might be a bit higher than some of the skaters, who have larger frames and lower body fat percentages at the same weight (like Joannie Rochette), but it's not like she's dripping with rolls. I read that she was 115 lbs and Joannie is 117. It's crazy how much lighter the skaters look in person. I thought Joannie was like 135 lbs when I saw her on tv, but in real life she's tiny.
1. Michelle won in Nagano.
2. Mirai won the 2010 US Natl championship on the ice.
What happened in the "backroom" does not change my mind.
I will go with Button and Hamilton's view over that of a few posters at GS who disagree with me.
Gee, I thought Tara Lipinski won! And it was a great, memorable, lights out performance! Michelle is fabulous but techbically she was outskated. Tara was great. Rachael was great at nationals. The judges do care about consistency. I think the podium was fair. No one wuz robbed at Nagano or the nationals.

If it's not like ballet, why do they wear those tiny spangly little dresses and all that makeup?
It's not just like tennis or golf, there's a performance/presentation aspect to it.
If they got rid of that and called it ice jumping we wouldn't be discussing Rachael's appearance.
And IMO thin has always been "in" (as in "you can never be too rich or too thin") in the US - just look at 1930s movies -- it's fat that's becoming fashionable as Americans get heavier.

Twinkies may not last forever after all.
As Hostess Brands on Friday filed for bankruptcy after failing to win concessions from its striking bakery workers, abruptly cutting loose more than 18,000 employees from the Bay Area and beyond, consumers went into collective mourning over the apparent demise of one of the sweetest, fluffiest, most beguiling culinary icons America has ever known.
The shock to the nation's system was almost palpable. Somehow, a spongecake renowned for being nearly indestructible had been destroyed, an innocent if hydrogenated bystander in a brutal battle between unions and the hedge funds that control the Irving, Texas-based company. In one bite, Hostess was gone, along with the soft emotional filling of many an American childhood. Suddenly, Twinkies had become a metaphor for a quickly fading past.
"The Twinkie was a popular cult icon, a reference point that was mentioned by Homer Simpson and even spawned Twinkie cookbooks," said Nancy Down, head librarian at the Browne Popular Culture Library at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. "It's pure nostalgia and it reminds us of a happy childhood. And even though I don't think I'd eat one today, it has that sweetness and shape, that perfect sort of handheld thing, that made it such a comfort food for so many people."
Of course, there's always a chance the Twinkie brand will be sold to another company in the bankruptcy, but on Friday, many of the snack's fans went into a sort of nostalgic frenzy. The Twittersphere quickly filled with sugar-high laments, including Funny or Die, who wrote: "In 20 years, rich potheads will pay top dollar for unopened Twinkies."
Twinkie recipes flooded the Internet. And Hostess products flew off the shelves at outlets like the one in San Leandro, where one woman filled her back seat with boxes of Twinkies so that her kids, up until now prohibited from eating the highly processed snack, could have their fill before the cakes went away forever.
Hollister resident Linda Lampe, visiting her son in Oakland, stopped by to stock up on the Twinkie's soul sister, the MoonPie, because "they're as traditional as grits in the South where I come from," she said. "There's even a song that says, 'Give me an RC Cola and a MoonPie.' Just to think, this is the end of a tradition."
That tradition started in 1930 when James A. Dewar, a manager for the Continental Baking Co., decided to inject the squishy sponge cake with banana filling -- vanilla would later be used. The Twinkie name was inspired by a billboard for the Twinkle Toe Shoe Company.
It appeared to end Friday morning as trucks made what could be their final deliveries of Twinkies and Hostess Cup Cakes, Ho-Hos and Wonder Bread. Hostess blamed the unions for killing the company and immediately shut down its 565 distribution centers and 570 bakery outlet stores, as well as 33 bakeries, including one in Oakland that employed 145 people.
There was, of course, a darker side to the story than simply the loss of a 150-calorie sugar-dispensing vehicle once dubbed the "cream puff of the proletariat." Thousands of real jobs had vanished, including the truck-driving gig that Fremont resident Andy Kurzadkowski first took 30 years ago with Colombo bread before it became part of Hostess.
"Today's my last day," he said Friday afternoon, still in shock after being called in from vacation to pick up his termination packet. "I was hoping they'd work it out with the bakers. I have a wife and 15-year-old daughter, and this was our sole income. Even if someone else buys parts of the company, I don't know how that will help us, because we'd all have to start over again from scratch."

Hey all. Just thought I'd post some pics of my ESB Fett from a recent outing. This was for the Emerald City Comic Con. Splat(another member here) just finished his Fett(which looks sweet!), and Saturday was his debut. I suited up and did the event on Sunday. We ended up raising almost 3k at the photo booth for Childrens Therapy center up here in Seattle. The crowds were nuts(as Splat can attest to ), but always a blast.
Figured I'd shared some fun pics of my suit and our awesome garrison with our Deathstar backdrop-
Had a couple that wanted me to hold their baby.
One of our garrison friends, just finished her Mando-
While Splat wore his Fett on Sat., I debuted my comic style Doc Doom-
Thanks for looking y'all!

BIG4 Holiday Parks in Tasmania
The diversity of sights and experiences that Tasmania provides is simply astounding. Towering, snow-capped mountains, expansive rainforest, and flowing rivers combine with heritage-rich towns and cities, sparkling beaches, and delicious produce.
Whatever interest or experience inspires your break, BIG4 Holiday Parks offers family-friendly cabin accommodation, caravan sites, and camping throughout Tasmania.
Looking for a cosy cabin or a caravan park to stay in while you view the spectacular natural coastline including the Bay of Fires and Wineglass Bay, or indulge in Hobart's combination of heritage charms with cultural diversity in Salamanca place and historic Richmond Bridge? Or a place to set up base to camp while you take in the clean air while walking in the Cradle Mountain – Lake St Clair National Park? BIG4 Holiday Parks provides you with an array of accommodation options while you discover Tasmania.
Experience the Wildlife, Wilderness and Wonders of Tasmania by following BIG4's Touring Tasmania itinerary. Taking you through all of the major towns of The Apple Isle, this trip allows you to take in some of Tasmania's most impressive natural beauty and rich colonial history.
Find a Holiday Park in Tasmania
Tasmania Highlights
Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, which forms part of the World Heritage-listed Tasmania Wilderness area, is an essential addition to any itinerary. The 1545m-high Cradle Mountain is just one of many cloud-piercing peaks within this national park and Tasmania in general.
The Tasmania Wilderness area also commands attention. Covering a staggering 1.5 million ha, it has plenty of scope for exploration.
Breathtaking coastline adds to the beauty of Tasmania. The East Coast snatches much of the focus thanks to Wineglass Bay and the Bay of Fires. The dramatic coast of the Tasman Peninsula – don't miss the striking sea cliffs – and the North West coast are other sublime areas to visit.
The gripping history of Tasmania should not be understated. Its convict link is all around: Port Arthur Historic Sites is the most prominent visitor attraction and strongly brings this period of history to life.
Cultural attractions are first-rate in the Apple Isle. Hobart shines as the state capital with its massive list of visitor attractions. The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) is almost certainly top of that list and is far from the average.
Feeling hungry? The range of delectable local produce on offer is incredible. Key areas include the Huon Valley and the Tamar Valley; the latter is also a leading wine region.
From cosy cabins or a caravan park to stay in while you view the spectacular surrounds or a place to camp as you take in the crisp, clean air, BIG4 Holiday Parks has abundant accommodation options in Tasmania.

Nearly 450 Aspen Heights residents to be delayed
Move-in starts Wednesday, but nearly half the tenants won't have a ready apartment
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Aspen Heights tenants can start moving into the new south Columbia complex Wednesday morning, but nearly half will not get keys to their apartment.
A spokesman for the company told ABC 17 News Tuesday that almost 450 students will have delays getting into their buildings, off Nifong Boulevard and Ponderosa.
Spokesman Stuart Watkins attributed the delays to several factors, including weather and construction delays.
The students stuck without an apartment are being put up at hotels and other complexes in the area.
Their estimated move-in date is now August 17, but still others could be delayed longer.
One MU senior, Caleb, told ABC 17 News Tuesday he and his roommates had not been told about the delay until Monday morning.
"We don't know why it's not done, we don't know an approximation of when we'll be moving in," he said. "We just don't know how long we're going to be in the hotel."
Then, when they tried to ask questions and get more explanation, the leasing office had closed for a move and the phone line went straight to a busy voicemail.
Watkins told ABC 17 News the company had sent an email to parents and tenants requesting they email questions because someone was personally responding to all of those.
The email, titled "An Apology from Aspen Heights," explained a safety concern in much of the complex because of the ongoing construction.
Watkins said Tuesday the corporate office made the decision to phase in tenants rather than push back opening because of the needs of students to be on campus a couple weeks early.
In the mass email, Aspen Heights offered an apology, saying:
"We accept full responsibility for the delay in construction. While many factors were out of our control, the property in-full will not be delivered on time, and we are deeply sorry. This is a first for Aspen Heights and something we are addressing as an organization and taking very seriously."
Aspen Heights said it was providing the temporary housing and offering affected tenants at least $400 for the inconvenience.
For those able to move in this week, some amenities were also still behind schedule. Those included the clubhouse and pool area. Watkins said those should open within a week.
The project has been troubled from the start, when city leaders got caught in a public outcry after the Regency and Del Ray trailer court residents were evicted from their homes with little notice to make way for construction on Aspen Heights.
Then this winter, a dispute with a contractor and several sub-contractor scams left dozens of workers stranded in Columbia without pay, food or a way home. Aspen Heights says it has paid out all claims that were made in the dispute.


text: With the recent fuel price hikes, it got me wondering what I would do if it either became so ridiculously expensive ($10.00/gal) or the fuel just ran out all together. I'm thinking I would set a plan in motion to convert to LNG, or LPG. In the mean time, I would start walking, or riding my bicycle for the first three weeks (minimum) until all of those fuel sipping cars had run out of gas. Then I'd happily drive my gas guzzling beast down the uncrowded roads, and love every minute of it until I ran out of whatever gas I had left.:biggrin: What would your plans be if it ever came to that?

Friends of mine purchased two nuc's some months back. The two where splits from a good little hive, very quiet. One had the queen while the second had eggs and the produced a queen successfully. Both splits did well - one naturally a little slower.
The owner spoke to me today. One week ago both hives where inspected and where doing well. There was some honey, eggs - good working hives. A few SHB where observed.
Last Saturday both where normal hives as far as could be obseved. Come Sunday one hive was dead. On closer inspection the owner reports that there where very few bees, no honey, a few bees still emerging. No unpleasant smell with frames and foundation clean.
There where a few hundred dead and dying bees in front of one hive. They seemed to clean each other.
The second hive so far is healthy and strong. No unusual activity ( like robbing) was observed.
I have some ideas what could have gone wrong but would love to hear the opinion from others. It is autumn here but still warm. We had a lot of wet weather this year but the last week was mostly fine.

text: The G3 magazine can be made to work. I had an M77 magazine but gave it to a friend. It's not much different from M-14 and Galil magazines. Spacing between the bolt and the magazine is an issue with the FAL magazine. More work than it's worth. I'd rather thin G3 magazines. The rim diameter is the same for 308, 300 Savage and 30-06. It's 308 that the rim is suppose be very slightly thicker. You can see this on the cartridge drawings and the military specs. Some companies don't make a difference and it's very small. I don't think rim thickness will be a factor but just something to note when fitting parts.

Innovations in the News
Musée Curriculum Builder
The arts are being more and more integrated into the classroom to enhance the teaching of many different subjects. Where can a teacher get ideas to use shapes and patterns to teach math, for example? The Musée Curriculum Builder opens the doors of nearly 37,000 museums around the world to teachers at their desks. The database is a way for teachers to create and share classroom materials related to history, language arts, math, art, social studies, or any other area of study, drawing from museum resources. Using this website also helps teachers practice using technology more efficiently and managing information on the web.
This web-based tool has the following features:
- Online training program to guide teachers in the use of the Internet;
- Database of educational materials from museums around the world;
- Keyword and geographic search components to easily access information;
- Online templates and tools to create curriculum modules;
- Curriculum modules already created using the Musée Builder and Database.
Note: The featured program is innovative but does not yet have evidence of general effectiveness from a rigorous evaluation. The success of the program may not be replicable, depending on unique conditions in differing locations.

text: When talking about commetators, we're of course speaking about some kind of broadcast or coverage. Attending an event live is a completely different scenario. When I mentioned: "former skater, current coach" I wasn't referring to the commentator, but to the person that enjoys listening to the commentator, although not in need of explanations. As for you narrowing down the field to see who that person might be, just trust my word: somewhere in the world this thing is real. I think good commentators aren't so hard to come by, we should keep an open mind for that talent, which (in my experience) often isn't perfectly ovelapping the skating talent or the coaching talent. Some mediocre skaters, mediocre coaches, or even fans could sometimes make very good commentators.


text: This is just another slant. I have fumed about a lot since last night but had we actually had real refs would our receivers had more separation and would we have gotten more sacks had real refs called holding penalties. Have not heard a lot of talk on this. It felt like we underplayed our abilities but the margin of error was 7 pts and I think if real refs were used it would have been much closer even with our list of injuries and issues.

Earl Mountbatten's gun is bought by Royal Armouries at auction - Wednesday, 3 April 2013
Royal Armouries has purchased a gold-plated pen-pistol owned by the late Earl Mountbatten of Burma.
The spy-style gun – complete with a concealed trigger and resembling a pen or pencil – was designed and made by the late Maharaja Hanwant Singh of Marwar-Jodhpur and presented by him to Lord Louis in 1948, around the time of Indian Independence.
As the last Viceroy of India and first Governor-General of the Independent State, Lord Louis was presented with the seven-inch, .22 pen pistol, which tucked neatly into a jacket pocket and was completely concealed.
It has since passed into private ownership but was bought by the Royal Armouries last week at auction from Holt's Auctioneers, following a bid of £13,000.
Mark Murray Flutter, Royal Armouries' Senior Curator of Firearms said, "As the National Museum of Arms and Armour, the Royal Armouries is both delighted and pleased to have been able to secure for the nation an object so closely associated with one of this country's most charismatic figures, Earl Mountbatten of Burma – especially as it relates to his relationship with India during the last days before Independence. It is also both an aesthetically and technically interesting piece that fits within the Royal Armouries' collections. We hope to have it on show to the public in the near future."
The uncle of the Duke of Edinburgh, Lord Louis was the great grandson of Queen Victoria and second cousin to HM The Queen, Elizabeth II. Widely viewed as a Second World War hero, he was a close friend of the Royal Family and enjoyed a close relationship with Prince Charles.
Lord Louis died in August 1979, after he was murdered by the IRA while holidaying with his family on their boat in Ireland. Three others perished in the bomb blast, including his 14-year-old grandson and a 15-yearold crew member.
The pen-pistol is expected to go on display at the Royal Armouries in the near future – the date and venue have yet to be confirmed.

Raiders 39
Junior Warriors 38
A last minute Raiders field goals has clutched defeat from the jaws of victory for the Junior Warriors in their Toyota Cup qualifying final in Canberra today.
The Warriors who are the defending champions - and finished the regular season in second place - will now face the Sydney Roosters in the next round of the playoffs.
In a 14-try thriller the Junior Warriors took the lead for the first time in the 74th minute and looked to have the win in the bag, before a late Raiders try, conversion and field goal shattered their fight back.
In the end the Warriors were made to pay for a sloppy, slow start where they conceded 16 points in the opening 13 minutes.
And despite mounting two spirited 16-point fight backs the Warriors will be left to stew over the one that got away.
Due to the lack of a Warriors first-grade home semifinal, the Under-20s had to travel to Canberra for the playoff despite finishing above their opponents, who they beat 26-12 last weekend, on the table.
Canberra 39 (J Reuben, E Lee 2, J Ahearn, J Hawkins, A Milford, J Hawkins tries; A Milford 5 con; 1 Field goal) Warriors 38 (D Fusita, T Bishop, T Likiliki 2, M Lino, N Laumare, Havili tries ; M Lino 5 con) Halftime 20-16

The Crossroads Guitar Festival is a music festival and benefit concert first held in 2004 and again in 2007 and 2010. The festivals benefit the Crossroads Centre founded by Eric Clapton, a drug treatment center located in Antigua. The concerts are also intended to be a showcase for a variety of guitarists. All were hand-picked by Eric Clapton himself, who addressed the 2007 audience, saying that each were some of the very best, and those who had earned his respect.
The festival will be held on April 12-13, 2013, at Madison Square Garden
Clapton is trying to broaden the range of the festival with some country guys
So I've decided this morning that I'm going to this show at Madison Square Garden. I got goose bumps I'm so excited.

Discussion in 'GM Diesel & DuraMax' started by Quad racer#212, Nov 13, 2012.
I need to get my I.P. rebuilt. Where is a good place to have this done?
I have to replace my injector pump on my 6.5 also. I have found two sources on Ebay. One is Accurate Diesel and the other is Buy Auto Parts. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with either of these companies. If no experience, does any one have any suggestion as to where to purchase a good rebuilt injector pump over the Internet?
Look for kr_services out of Wisconsin. Guy's name is Fred Kevek. I had a good experience with him.
Accurate Diesel
I ended up using Accurate Diesel to purchase the injector pump. The price was reasonable, they offered a warranty of one year on the pump, and a warranty on the labor. When I sent back the core, they were very quick to refund the core charge. Since the installation of the rebuilt injector pump, my stalling and surging problems have disappeared.
I am a happy satisfied customer.
Thanks for the info 2091B22

Katy B - Easy Please Me (Caspa Remix)
Only posting this while I salivate thinking about what the Claude VonStroke official fix of this is gonna end up sounding like in my ears. Caspa's take on it is pretty sufficient though. PS: there's also a new video for Katy B's Easy Please Me, which you can view below. (PPS her album isn't as bad as I initially thought it was. #croweater)

I agree with your opinion that Michigan should have a part-time Legislature. We have too many career politicians in the Legislature. Let's reduce their pay and benefits. That would limit the and chicanery as we've had in the past two decades. The state law that allows unions for firefighters and police will make me vote against millage increases in Lapeer. I am surprised that nobody has challenged that issue. I think it's basically illegal to allow unions for them and destroy unions for other workers. Welcome to the land serfs in the state of Michigan.
-- Metamora
This is about the Lake Orion resident who wrote about the right-to-work law. If you don't want to join the union, that's fine. You're not compelled to join a union, but if you don't want to pay dues for the organization that bargains for you, then you should refuse to take the pay and the benefits that are negotiated. That's fair. The company could save a lot of money by not paying you what they pay workers who are members of the union.
-- Oxford
I think there should be some stipulation that when voters turn down a millage increase for the schools, the school district should not be allowed to ask for another millage vote for at least two years. It is ridiculous that West Bloomfield asked for another millage vote within six months. It is hoping for another tax increase that will tax people right out of their homes. This has got to stop.
-- West Bloomfield Township
With the gun mentality in this country, I hope from now on, it's only gun owners who are shot by gun users.
-- Waterford Township
Regarding the caller from Pontiac who talks about the rich paying a "fair share": That is class warfare caused by President Obama's socialist rhetoric. Everyone pays way more taxes than they should. Obama took a trip to Hawaii that cost $9 million. Do you think that's right?
-- Commerce Township
I saw a retort against Republicans and tea party activists who want a smaller government: It was a bumper sticker on the back of an American vehicle that said: "Another waste of taxpayer dollars, paved roads."

WASHINGTON--In August 2 testimony on Capitol Hill, CPJ urged the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe to use diplomatic pressure to combat impunity in journalist murders in Russia and other former Soviet states. Here are excerpts of remarks given by Nina Ognianova, CPJ's Europe and Central Asia program coordinator.
"Impunity in journalist murders remains the gravest danger to press freedom, and threatens democracy in the transitional countries of the former Soviet bloc. Critical, investigative reporters--who work to uncover social ailments such as corruption, corporate crime, human rights violations, and abuse of power--are the usual targets of this lethal censorship. As violence against these messengers goes unpunished, fewer journalists are willing to risk their lives in pursuit of difficult stories, the press is forced to compromise its role as a watchdog, and the public is kept in the dark about important issues. ...
"When it comes to impunity in journalist murders, Russia sets a sad regional standard. ... A total of 47 journalists have been killed in Russia since 1992, the vast majority of the killings unsolved. Since 2000, under President Vladimir Putin's tenure, 17 journalists have been killed in Russia in the line of duty--14 out of them murdered in direct retaliation for their professional work. ... Russia remains the political and moral force in much of the region, so its official hostility to independent media, sloppy police work in the investigation of journalists' deaths, official stonewalling, and judicial inertia are widely emulated."

The Drawings and Paintings of Daphne Odjig: A Retrospective Exhibition
23 Oct 2009 - 03 Jan 2010
The National Gallery of Canada is proud to present the first solo exhibition by a First Nations female artist, Daphne Odjig. It features works covering a 44-year period that provide a critical and long-overdue assessment of the artist's extensive aesthetic, philosophical and cultural investigations. The exhibition comprises nearly 60 works, including examples of Odjig's history and legend paintings, murals, erotica, abstractions and landscapes. They articulate the breadth of Odjig's engagement with her personal and cultural history, and also trace the remarkable aesthetic development of this artist from her initial experimentation to the mastery of her media. Organized by the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Sudbury.

Course catalog of entry
Both undergraduate and graduate students are expected to follow the degree requirements of the course catalog in effect at the time of their initial enrollment at SCAD. Specific course requirements, including prerequisites, are updated in the catalog annually. Students are expected to adhere to changes to individual courses as they occur.
If the curriculum and degree requirements change during the five-year period after the student initially enrolls, the student may elect to follow the new degree requirements, but may not move to a catalog earlier than his or her catalog of entry.
If a student does not fulfill the degree requirements of the course catalog of entry within the five-year period, then he or she must follow the requirements of the catalog in effect at the end of that five-year period. Any graduate student who does not complete the program within five years must petition the department of graduate studies for continuation under the current program of study.
Students may be required to follow new degree requirements if courses required by previous programs have been eliminated from the course catalog; however, under no circumstances are students required to take any additional credit hours to earn the declared degree within five years of entry.
For more information and to view the current year's admission catalog, visit the apply page.

So I'm reading the Hedge Knight right now. Some knight says that when dragons are alive, winters are shorter. So with Dany's dragons around is this gonna be a short winter?
So, what are some of your guesses for episodes
Episode 1: The Red Viper (Tyrion meets the Red Viper)
Episode 2: Coldhands (Bran runs into Coldhands)
Episode 3: You Know Nothing (Ygritte dies in Jon's arms)
Episode 4: Widow's Wale (The Purple Wedding); Runner-up title: Growing Strong, The Game of Thrones
Episode 5: The Watcher on the Wall (The Siege of the Wall begins); Runner-up: The Wall is Yours, Oathkeeper
Episode 6: It Rhymes With Weak (Theon is recaptured by Ramsay after running away, Jon is arrested by Janos Slynt, Tyrion's trial begins); Runner-up: Our Blades are Sharp, Family Duty Honor
Episode 7: The Burning Heart (STANNIS!, "Not as your judge, as your champion"); Runner-up: The Horn of Winter, Ours is the Fury, The King Beyond the Wall

Episode 10: Stoneheart (Tywin's Funeral, Littlefinger pushes Lysa out the Moon Door, Stoneheart reveals herself and kills a Frey) ; Runner-up titles: The Moon Door, A Thousand Eyes and One, The Burning of the Hand
Also, in the Purple Wedding episode, do you think they'll have Dontos take her out of the wedding in the same episode/show Littlefinger on the ship, kill Dontos, and explain to Sansa how he and Olenna planned it out?
pretty sure PW is ep 2. george is writing it.
I don't see why people think it's safe to assume this
Because there are way too many things that have to happen AFTER the PW. Episode 4 would be too late. Episode 2, 3 at the latest.

Big Pine Lake rock dam repaired
The Crow Wing County Board decided to move forward with a temporary fix to the washout at the Big Pine Lake rock dam in Crosslake. The board made the decision at its regular monthly meeting Tuesday, April 23, and the dam was repaired the week of April 29.
The shoreline washed out downstream of the lake where the dam meets the shore in late March or early April. The washout caused the lake level to drop, and consequently the county sheriff's office closed public accesses to the lake because of unsafe ice.
The dam was built in the 1970s after residents petitioned for it. The dam in essence created Big Pine Lake, which has an average depth of eight feet when the dam is functional.
The temporary fix was quoted at a cost of $26,000, with $7,000 of the funds coming from FEMA money, which was obtained after flooding last summer, assistant county engineer Rob Hall said at the April 23 meeting.
Hall said by phone that while the county would pay for the repairs up front, the highway department will recommend that the lake association pay back the costs through money assessed to members' taxes.
He said the recent repairs are a temporary fix, and the bank is still at risk of eroding further. The next step is to sit down with the lake association to find a permanent solution.
Around 100 property owners are on the lake, and commissioner Paul Thiede noted that to not repair the dam would cause a drop in property value, which would in turn cause a drop in tax revenue.

text: So this may sound like a stupid question, but how does everybody install queens that they have made? I suppose it depends on how you mate them. If you using a small mating nuc do you just put the queen in a cage or combine the mating nuc with the hive? If you are using a full sized nuc do you combine or use a cage? I'm a hobby keeper who hopes to keep around 10 hives and rear queens for splits and requeening. I have read a bit about queen rearing and want to give it a go next year, but haven't found a procedure on installing the queens.

Really, where does Taylor Swift find time to write and record chart-topping albums? Because the 22-year-old singer/songwriter sure has a bunch of relationship issues to sort out too.
Take the trio of songs that make up the centre chunk of her fourth album - there's the wrangles of I Almost Do ("It takes everything in me not to call"), the break-up bile of mega-hit single We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together ("I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you") and the lovers' tiff of Stay Stay Stay ("I threw my phone across the room at you"). Honestly, Taylor goes through boyfriends - preferably celebrity ones - as quickly as she writes songs.
Seriously though, Swift's musical output is astounding, releasing an album every two years since her self-titled debut in 2006, followed by classic country pop record Fearless, and Speak Now, which she toured New Zealand in support of earlier this year. Those latter two have sold 8.5 million and 5 million respectively and Red will do similar numbers. This week in New Zealand it debuted at number one and recorded the biggest sales week of 2012 so far.
However, though the fans have been given what they want, compared to the strong, straight-up and catchy collection of Fearless, Red is sometimes plastic and blatantly gunning for pure pop status.
For example, there is a weak diversion into dubstep on I Knew You Were Trouble, that wouldn't even rattle your love handles let alone your kneecaps like good dubstep-pop should.
Now, before I go on, I have to admit that being a 40-year-old bloke I'm probably not in Swift's target market - but three-quarters of my household are. And my girls' reactions to the album sums it up.
There are songs, most notably We Are Never Ever ... and the twang and raunch of Red, that incite mass sing-alongs and dancing, but on others, like dreary Sad Beautiful Tragic, my almost 5-year-old goes off to build a tent in the lounge and the 36-year-old loses interest.
The length - clocking in at more than 60 minutes across 16 tracks - is an issue, but could have been dealt with by culling thrumming indulgent epic All Too Well and the bombastic pop of 22, where she comes across mechanical and robotic.
But then this is Taylor Swift we're talking about, and she trots out sparkling and rousing tunes at will - and most of what is on Red is just that.
Holy Ground kicks along at a thigh-slapping lilt, the lovely strolling pace and beefy pitter patter of The Lucky One, and on The Last Time, her stirring duet with Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody, is Swift as you've never heard her before (like a cool cross between Stevie Nicks and Cyndi Lauper).
These songs prove she's a strong enough songwriter to play it straight, while still being ambitious, and doesn't need whiz-bang dubstep-pop mechanics to make her songs shine.
Stars: 3.5/5
Verdict: America's country pop sweetheart goes a little too pop.

Reviews of this property
It was a perfect place and location for our first trip to Cannes.
Safe, clean and well equipped. The host was really nice and thougthful too.
I would defenitely recommend this place to others!
We had a wonderful stay here. The apartment was a perfect location for where we had to be everyday. Helene was punctual when we arrived and very accommodating throughout our stay.
We would go back.
The apartment was better than I saw on the photo. The all was at the best quality. The all equipment are working. We went to sea 6-7 minutes. The apartment is very cozy and style.
Квартира оказалась гораздо лучше на самом деле, чем на картинках. Все было на высшем уровне. Все есть, все работает. От моря минут 7. Очень стильные и удобные апартаменты.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
A really Nice apartment with two lovely terraces, one with an outdoor shower.
Helene and her husband were excelent hosts, really helpfull and serviceminded, also when we arrived late in the evening.
This is the perfect frame for a good holiday in Cannes.
The apartment is very close to the beach and very well equipped. It was also very clean.
Helene and Jerome were friendly and helpful.
We spent a wonderful time in Cannes and we would book the apartment again.
Modern and nice, clean appartment. We stayed for the Cannes Lions and enjoyed our stay very much. 5 min walking distance to the croisette. Hélène is very nice, friendly and relaxed. I can recommend her and the appartment 100%!
The host is very nice and makes you feel comfortable even if you are in a traffic jam and arrive later than expected. Great location, perfectly near to Beaches, Le Croisette and city center in a nice and safe environment. A bakery and a small supermarket are just 50m away. FREE parking in the streets around the building. A great balcony and a private roof terrace with BBQ and shower :-) The appartment has all comfort you need for a great stay and is clean and nice. Maybe some details could be improved to get five stars (e.g. a bit saggy mattress). The appartment is perfect and spacious for 2persons, but also with more it should be fine because of separate areas. We will come back next time :-)
Very good stay at the Residence "Les Fleuries"
Very well equipped. Short walk to the beach. Good shopping possibilities.
Gladly Again.
Sehr guter Aufenthalt in der Residence "Les Fleuries"
Sehr gut Ausgestattet. Kurzer Weg zum Strand. Gute Einkaufmöglichkeiten.
