Short story
Narcissa Malfoy is dying of a mysterious illness. On her death bed, she tells her son Draco that she'd like him to find his long-lost sister, so that Narcissa can see her daughter one last time. The only things Draco is given are a name and a description of a girl who was born with black hair. With next to nothing to go on, can Draco find his sister before it's too late? Over 4700 reads!

In air travel days of yore, it was not uncommon to see people running through airports to catch planes with just moments to spare. Not anymore. Here are three good reasons to leave yourself plenty of time to get to the airport this fall, and travelers to/from Los Angeles and Columbus should pay special attention.
Listen as air travel expert Rick Seaney explains why you do not want to show up late:
3 Good Reasons to Leave for the Airport Early
1. Traffic delays
A car accident can occur in the blink of an eye – according to recent Department of Transportation statistics, on average there are more than 14,800 motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. every day. With luck, one won't occur on your route to the airport, but there are no guarantees. There is, however, a guarantee of delays in Southern California and central Ohio later this fall – thanks to massive highway construction projects:
Los Angeles: What officials are calling Carmageddon II will shut down ten miles of LA's notorious 405 freeway, a major artery leading to sprawling LAX airport. It all begins Friday Sept. 28 and is scheduled to last about 53 hours. Note to tourists: construction will shut down the Getty Center during that weekend, too.
Columbus: Beginning Sept. 14, a major downtown I-670 highway ramp will shut down for two months. The good news is it should be ready for airport traffic during the busy Thanksgiving travel period.
Bizarre Passenger Incidents Cause Delays
2. Airline capacity cuts.
United has announced it will be cutting capacity throughout the rest of the year by more than anticipated – reportedly about 2 percent to 3 percent through the rest of the year – something that's been an ongoing process for most airlines during the past few years. This will result in even more tightly packed planes which could in turn mean require earlier boarding times to get all passengers seated in a timely fashion. This of course goes hand-in-hand with on-time statistics.
3. Airline on-time statistics.
Airlines are keenly aware of the need to depart and arrive on time since the DOT publishes these statistics for all to see. As a result, more and more planes are leaving on-time or even early. It doesn't matter what is printed on your ticket, if the plane pulls away from the gate before you get to the boarding area, it will not return for you.
The moral of all this – do not be late.

Euratom research budget
The Treaty founding the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) established the ability to implement Framework Programmes for nuclear research and training activities that are distinct from - and run parallel to - the Framework Programmes for Research and Development under the EC Treaty.
Euratom research is currently supported by the 7th Euratom Research Framework Programme (FP7) which covers the period from 2007 until 2011.
About € 2.7 billion are available for research projects in fission and radiation protection, as well as fusion. The budget is divided as follows:
- €1,947 million for fusion activities including ITER
- €517 million for nuclear activities at the Joint Research Centre (JRC)
- €287 million for fission and radiation protection
Euratom Framework Programmes budget comparison
The total budget allocated to FP7 has almost doubled in relation to the previous Euratom Framework Programme, FP6, due to the construction of the ITER Fusion project.
Research Funding - European Communities vs. Euratom Framework Programmes since 1994
The Euratom Framework Programmes run parallel to the FP Programmes for Research and development under the EC Treaty.

Note: * FP7-EC covers a period of 7 years (2007-2013)
FP7-Euratom covers a period of 5 years (2007-2011)
Number of fission reactors in operation worldwide as of February 4th 2010.
The world wide total is 436. The total for all European Union member countries is 143.

Note: Long term shutdown reactors are not displayed in the chart. Their worldwide total is 5 and none are located in the European Union.
Interesting Fusion facts
Fusion fuel
Did you know that one laptop lithium battery plus half a bath tub of water contain enough fusion fuel to produce 200,000kWh, which is enough to cover an EU citizen's energy needs for 30 years?
And that 1 gram of fully reacted Deuterium-Tritium fuel provides around 26000 kWh of electricity, enough for 5000 households for one day - 10 million times more than a gram of coal?
ITER features compared
Our sun generates approximately 1026 watts with a density 0.01 W/m3. ITER will generate much less power - 5x108 watts - but with a much higher and more efficient density of 5x105 W/m3 (ITER image).
The mass of the ITER vacuum vessel system weighs ~8000 t. The Eiffel tower in Paris weights 7.300 t.
- The Boeing 747-300 aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 377 t. Just one Toroidal Field coil weighs 360 t. ITER will have 18 operational Toroidal Field coils and one spare.

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Celtics announced this week that they have signed both undrafted point guard Phil Pressey and Brazilian center Vitor Faverani to multi-year contracts. Faverani's deal is thought to be somewhere in the three-year, $6 million range, while Pressey's is for the rookie scale minimum.
Faverani is a 6'10" big man who spent last season playing in the premiere spanish basketball league, where he averaged 9 points and 5 rebounds per contest. Faverani is known in Spain as, "El Hombre Indestructible" (The Indestructible Man). The Celtics roster now has two traditional centers on it, Faverani and Fab Melo, and both happen to be of Brazilian descent.
Pressey went undrafted out of Missouri and starred on the Celtics Orlando Summer League team. Pressey was an All-American Honorable Mention last season, and set the SEC record for most assists in a game when he recorded 19 against UCLA on December 28th of last year. He currently sits on the depth chart as the only true backup point guard to Rajon Rondo.
The Celtics roster now sits at 16 players, one over the NBA limit. Shavlik Randolph's contract is only guaranteed if he remains on the team after August 1st.
The Celtics 2013 second round draft pick, Colton Iverson, has signed with Bestiktas of the Turkish basketball league. With the glut of big men currently on the Celtics roster it was unlikely there would be any playing time for Iverson this season, or even a roster spot. The move allows the Celtics to hold onto Iverson's draft rights for the next two seasons.
Should Melo and/or Faverani fail to earn their minutes at the Center position, the Celtics could look to give Iverson a shot in the middle in the coming years. The Celtics traded into the second round to draft Iverson, so they clearly like him, it was just a matter of there not currently being a place for him on the roster.
With all the drama surrounding the Boston/Brooklyn trade settling down, the teams have announced that they will play a preseason game at the TD Banknorth Garden on October 23rd. It seems like an odd choice not to hold this game at a neutral site like Mohegan Sun or the Hartford Civic Center and save the dramatic return to Boston for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett for the regular season.
As it stands, it seems unlikely Garnett or Pierce will make this trip to Boston for a preseason game. The contest is likely to be played without them.

Ok i want to put Shasta to sleep but she is my sisters dog and now that my sister has moved and is pregnant she doesnt see shasta as much as the rest of my family. The thing about that is if i do take her to the vet and have her put down i have my sister to deal with and she doesnt want to put her down nor my dad well shasta is getting worse by the day her arthritis is making it harder and harder to do what she normally does. It takes her 5 to 10 minutes to even get up to the dog house and we made a ramp specially for her.she is constantly fallind down which im worried that she might break a leg or something today i layed her on her side to clip her nails and i had to pick her up and put her on her feet. she lossed quit a bit of weight in these last 2 years mostly muscle mass. Her fur is terrible i guess what im trying to ask is how do i convince my sister to let her go over the rainbow bridge? ive already told her that it would be best but i havent gottin anywhere i dont no what to do

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Sounds like you need to put the caretaking of the dog back on the owner, your sister. If it's her dog, then its her responsibility to take care of her. You've been doing it for 2 years now, so I can't understand why you say it's her dog. Sounds like in name only. So, now it's become too hard for you to continue to care for Shasta, not only physically but emotionally as you watch health deteriorate. So, you need to ask your sister if she wants her dog back, or if she'll sign over ownership to you so you can make the decision that only an owner can make. You'll probably never change her mind, because none of us can control other people.

i would agree just let her know that she (your sister) either needs to come and get Shasta or you will have to take action.
Shasta is your dog if you have been taking care of her. if she wants to let Shasta be in so much pain and have a hard life then she is going to have to be the one that watches shasta.
tell her that because of the love you have for Shasta, it is too mental taxing and saddening to have to watch her grow thru so much pain everyday.
we just went thru our dogs being sick and i had to carry Anook outside and hold her just to pee, if that was everyday i could not take that and would have to take action.
good luck you will be in our prayers, luv Cin

Los Angeles rock band the Icarus Line is releasing its newest album, Wildlife, on August 30 on Roar Scratch. The band, which formed in 1998, has had a tumultuous thirteen years, including many different incarnations composed of various members, on-and-off relationships with record labels and world tours only to then seemingly vanish for years at a time. As a result, this album was never taken for granted or assumed—it was made despite its circumstances.
Written by frontman Joe Cardamone (who helmed the the record under the constant threat of Icarus Line potentially never recording again) Wildlife was recorded in the same room at Sunset Sound that Prince inhabited when he made Purple Rain, and features guest appearances by Ariel Pink and Annie Hardy of Giant Drag. The fourteen songs that make up the album represent a new stage of Icarus Line and play almost like a debut. The first two tracks are streaming exclusively at Guitar World.
Tracklist For Wildlife:
01. King Baby
02. We Sick
03. Soul Slave
04. It's Alright
05. Venomous
06. No Lord
07. Bad Bloods
08. Sin Man Sick Blues
09. We Want More Feat. Ariel Pink
10. All The Little Things
11. Tina Turner
12. Like A Scab
13. Wildlife
14. Elephants of Armageddon (Bonus Track)

Digital Text & the Common Core Standards
At Area 3 Writing Project we used Because Digital Writing Matters as a foundational text for our 2011 Summer Institute. Throughout our conversations many times I found myself referring to portions of the Common Core Standards where digital text or digital writing is mentioned. The attached document attempts to highlight those areas by calling out six of the 32 anchor standards where these concepts are described and looking at how they progress over the K-12 grade span through the lens of 4 particular grade levels. While this document certainly does not summarize all of the places where digital writing and digital text correspond with the Common Core Standards, it serves as an anchor document for beginning the conversation about the role digital writing plays in our classrooms as we move into the future.

(Nov. 7, 2012) -- The University of Texas at San Antonio has been rated one of the top 400 universities in the world, according to the prestigious Times Higher Education World University Rankings. The rankings measure the core missions of world-class universities including assessments of teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.
UTSA is one of 111 U.S. universities to make the list and among just 70 public institutions in the United States to be ranked in the top 400. The rankings evaluate universities in 41 countries.
>> Learn more about the World University Rankings on UTSA Today.
"As we advance to Tier One status, we are developing new degree programs, recruiting new faculty and building new partnerships that are being recognized by our peers around the world," said UTSA President Ricardo Romo. "Transformational work is taking place on our campus and is it being cited by academics and researchers alike for its impact on the global community."
UTSA has embarked on an ambitious journey to become a Tier One research institution, placing an emphasis on creating academic and research programs in health, security, energy, sustainability, and human and social development.
For example, UTSA recruited Miguel Yacaman from the University of Texas at Austin to serve as professor and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Yacaman is a world-renowned scholar in nanoparticles and microscopy. Yacaman's research has been widely published, and he is considered a leading expert in his field. He was instrumental in helping UTSA acquire Helenita, one of the most advanced microscopes in the world.
The JEOL transmission electron microscope is propelling the development of new cancer therapies and disease treatments by allowing nanotechnology researchers to see samples magnified 20 million times their original size.
The microscope is one of the main reasons visiting scholar Sergio Mejia returns to UTSA again and again. Mejia, a physics professor at Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, calls the UTSA Advanced Microscopy Laboratory "one of the best electron microscopy facilities in the world."
"Since I first arrived to the UTSA campus, I was pleased to find a vibrant academic atmosphere, full of top-class researchers, impressive experimental labs, and bright, inquisitive students," Mejia said.
In the last decade, UTSA has placed an increasing focus on the importance of an international perspective. Julius Gribou, UTSA executive vice provost and senior international officer, studied architecture in Poland on a Fulbright fellowship. His goal is to ensure that the undergraduate education of all UTSA students includes an international component.
"We live in a globally interconnected world," said Gribou. "UTSA students and scholars travel outside the U.S. to conduct research. At the same time, international students and scholars come to San Antonio to enhance their own international perspective."
UTSA Provost John Frederick notes that assessments such as Times Higher Education's World University Rankings are an impactful resource for international students and researchers.
"A university's visibility and profile are very important, particularly for students and researchers who are looking for an international university with a prominent reputation," said Frederick. "It is an honor for UTSA to be included among those universities."
The views of more than 17,000 academics from 137 countries were factored into the Times Higher Education top 400 ranking.
Earlier this year, UTSA was ranked No. 53 in the Times Higher Education "Top 100 Under 50" rankings, which monitors the growth of young U.S. universities. Six other U.S. universities are similarly ranked on both lists including UC Irvine; UC Santa Cruz; UT Dallas; University of Illinois, Chicago; University of Maryland-Baltimore County and George Mason University.
The World University Rankings assess "globally competitive research-led institutions" using 13 performance indicators in five categories:
Teaching (30 percent), which includes a university's perceived reputation in research and teaching by academics around the world, student-to-staff ratio, the number of doctorates awarded, the ratio of doctoral degrees to bachelor's degrees awarded and institutional income-to-staff ratio
Research (30 percent), which includes a university's research reputation compared to its peers, research income and number of publications
Citations (30 percent) or the number of times a university's scholars are cited in publications around the world
International outlook (7.5 percent), ratio of international to domestic students, ratio of international to domestic staff and the number of publications published by university scholars that include at least one international co-author
Industry income (2.5 percent) or research income from industry

The Crossley ID Guide: Eastern Birds (Princeton University Press, $35) is ruffling some feathers in the birding community. It is a book that you will either love or hate. Your reaction will depend largely on whether you like to have nature presented to you in an idealized way or whether you can tolerate some of the messiness of reality. Author and photographer Richard Crossley has a high tolerance for messiness—he tries to squeeze in as much reality as he can onto every printed page.
Each of the more than 600 species in the book is shown in a lifelike scene that is typical of the species' habitat. Within that tableau, a species is represented by pictures that portray the bird at various distances, in a range of plumages and behaviors and at several ages.
Crossley crammed 10,000 photographs onto 640 plates, so, on average, each plate presents one or more species in about 15 different ways. But some birds, such as the black rail, are represented by only a single photograph, whereas others, such as the broad-winged hawk, are depicted 40 times on a single plate, as shown at right. (The 40th hawk is tricky; see if you can find it.)
It can be very difficult to identify a species from the tiny images that show the bird at a great distance, because few of the key field marks are recognizable. Why put such images in an identification guide? Crossley calls it reality birding. He believes that you can become a better birder by studying the distant birds and comparing them to the larger close-up images. By noticing the similarities between the different images, you will learn to focus on the features that remain constant for a particular species. The rationale is compelling, and I think Crossley's approach might actually work.
Although the plates are supposed to do most of the work in this book, Crossley does provide some text, captions and range maps to complement the images. The captions are fairly lean, and Crossley saves space by using the four-letter alpha code that bird banders use as shorthand for each species. Beginning birders might find the codes a little intimidating, but all of the codes are identified in an index at the back of the book.
Much more can, and will, be said about this book. If you detest images that have been obviously manipulated using a computer, then you will almost certainly not like this book. If you prefer paintings to photographs in your guidebooks, then this book is not for you either.
For those who can tolerate Crossley's novel approach, The Crossley ID Guide will most likely serve as a guide that beginning and intermediate birders can study at home. The book's massive size—it is both larger and heavier than The Sibley Guide to Birds—and its internal organization do not lend themselves to easy use in the field. I believe that Crossley recognizes this fact, which is why the book is called an ID guide rather than a field guide.
And, in case you were wondering, I love it.—Michael Szpir

Swenson Aggregate chosen for Jenkins road work
Swenson Aggregate was awarded the bid to perform road work on Half Mile Road, according to Jenkins City Council action Monday, Aug. 12.
Swenson Aggregate was chosen from three bids, at $8,505 for 900 yards of Class I graded and compacted. Swenson Aggregate added another 100 yards of Class I. City Clerk Krista Okerman said that even with the cost of the extra Class I, the bid was still $50 lower than the next lowest bid.
Okerman said the council decided to pay the extra $945.
In other business, the council:
• Extended a conditional use permit (CUP) held by Cindy Stiller for the purpose of constructing storage buildings. Stiller's original CUP was granted in July of 2011 and would have expired within two years if not extended.
• Scheduled a budget workshop for Monday, Aug. 26, at the city hall.
• Discussed options for improving water drainage issues on Veterans Street in front of the VFW. Mayor Jon Lubke said the utilities in the area had been flagged and marked. Lubke said he received a $1,500 bid from Ted Ebnet after several people studied the problem to see what could be done. Because the project is only partially on the right-of-way it was suggested that the cost of the drainage could be split with the VFW.
The council agreed to accept Ebnet's bid up to $2,000 contingent upon the VFW paying for half of the final bill.

Essentia Health temporarily restricts visitors to the medical center due to high levels of flu-like illness
Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center is temporarily restricting visitors due to high levels of flu-like illness.
Essentia Health is requesting visitors be limited to immediate family.
"To protect our patients and children in our community, we request children do not visit at this time," Essentia Health stated in a news release. Flu-like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends people with those symptoms stay home for 24 hours after their fever is gone without the use of fever-reducing medicine. Other precautions include covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing and frequent washing of hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
Crow Wing County public health reported the flu vaccine this year is a good match to the influenza illness and vaccine is still available.

Botkier Chrystie Satchel - Black
As homage to the lovely giveaway that starts today, I figured I'd post a few of my favorite Botkier bags. This satchel reminds me of a wrap dress and I love it! It looks classy, yet different. Two qualities every lady wants in a bag.
I've always loved the look of latex, but was never sure how I could actually pull it off. I need these just for fun, even if I don't leave the house wearing them.Tags: fashion, accessories, style, leather, womens clothes, apparel, rubber, clothes, pantsAdded 9 Years Ago from ShopBop

This is a great cockpit cover for the occasional shower and summer sun of the NE US. Very easy to install and a perfect fit. It is now a pleasure to leave the snap-on tonneau cover in place and not have to raise the top when leaving the car in the summer sun for a short while or a few hours. I do not fret about the passing shower, or sun on the leather any more.

Nice park, nice hosts. Perfect for exploring the Okanagan wine country. Might get a bit hot in the summer as there are no shade trees between sites.

In the Commons, the Prime Minister said a fresh inquiry would be a "mistake" and would undermine support for the security services in the fight against terrorism.
His comments came amid reports that MI5 did not show surveillance photographs of the bombers' ringleader Mohammed Sidique Khan to the original inquiry by the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC).
The BBC reported that although MI5 had six photographs of Khan taken during the investigation of another terror plot, only one was shown to the ISC.
Whitehall sources said today that while the committee did not see the photographs, it was told that they existed.
"The reason they were not shown them is because it didn't add to the facts. If they had felt the need to ask to see them, they would have asked," one source said.
The sources said the ISC was given only one photograph of Khan as it was the one used to show to a detainee to see if he could identify the man in the picture.
They strongly denied suggestions that the other photographs were withheld from the ISC because they were taken by police rather than MI5.
At Prime Minister's questions, Mr Blair insisted that the ISC was shown all the relevant material.
The committee, chaired by former Northern Ireland Secretary Paul Murphy, is to look at the evidence again in the wake of the disclosures in the fertiliser bomb plot trial which ended this week at the Old Bailey with the convictions of five defendants.
It emerged that Khan and his right-hand man Shehzad Tanweer were recorded by surveillance teams on several occasions with the ringleader of the fertiliser bomb plot, Omar Khyam.
Although Khan was heard discussing the prospect of going to Pakistan to fight with the militias, neither man was identified until after the July 7 bombings in London more than a year later.
In the Commons, Tory leader David Cameron said that a "proper, independent inquiry" was now needed to "enhance public confidence" in the fight against terrorism.
He said the ISC, which is appointed by the Prime Minister and is made up of senior parliamentarians, lacked the necessary investigative powers to do the job.
However, Mr Blair said that a new inquiry would divert resources away from the fight against terrorism.
"It would be wrong to say that in some way or other they (the ISC) didn't have the information they wanted. Any information they want to have, they can," he said.
"If we end up now saying that the Intelligence and Security Committee was not an adequate inquiry, we have another inquiry, we will simply cause great anxiety and difficulty within the service.
"We won't get any more truth, because the truth is there in the intelligence and Security Committee, but what we will do is undermine support for our security services and I am simply not prepared to do it."Reuse content

RTEMS Intel i386 Applications Supplement
The i386 architecture supports a simple yet effective call and return mechanism. A subroutine is invoked via the call (call) instruction. This instruction pushes the return address on the stack. The return from subroutine (ret) instruction pops the return address off the current stack and transfers control to that instruction. It is is important to note that the i386 call and return mechanism does not automatically save or restore any registers. It is the responsibility of the high-level language compiler to define the register preservation and usage convention.

Yesterday morning I was rudely awakened by BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, informing me a breakfast of bacon and sausage would likely lead to an early grave.
A cheery wake-up call if ever there was one, especially since I'd woken feeling particularly ravenous.
Imagine my curiosity then, when my first call of the morning was from a company launching the UK's first ever 'calorie-neutral' restaurant, where patrons exercise between courses.
German domestic appliance company Miele will set up pop-up restaurant, Steam, in Covent Garden next Wednesday. If the restaurant proves popular, the company hopes to roll them out across the country.
Quite apart from wondering what on earth to wear to the sporty eatery, (Trainers? Tracksuit? A smart dress?) it's obvious to me that Miele has created a monster.
Diners, or 'steamees', will be invited to chow down on food cooked by award-winning head chef, Frederick Forster, before participating in a number of activities to ensure they offset their calorie footprint. Activities include stretching to aid digestion and sitting on vibrating seat-pads to increase calorie burn.
The food is steamed to preserve the natural flavours, vitamins and textures and chef Frederick Forster says his aim is to show that healthy food can be tasty too.
Of course Steam will be a unique experience, rather like a pole dancing class or climbing Kilimanjaro. But, if I'm honest, it's about as appealing as downing a large bowl of pasta before doing two laps of the school hockey pitch. Not very.
As well as possibly inflicting shocking indigestion on its diners (whatever happened to leaving two hours between eating and exercising?) Miele has seemingly invented an entirely pointless dining experience and is selling it to us like it's the next big thing.
The concept neatly side-steps the whole purpose of eating, which is to take calories and energy from our food. In the same way as eating a stick of celery is counter-productive, so too is this meal deal.
Sure, you might have a jolly old time vibrating and stretching with friends. And I don't doubt the food will be delicious (beef fillet with beansprout salad, quail egg cocotte with mushroom and leek fondue, and prawn stuffed lemon sole with herb butter sauce.) However, a restaurant which gives with one hand while it takes with another is baffling to me.
We wouldn't would jump at the chance to watch a film if we had to have our memories wiped once we'd left the auditorium, so why must we rave about a restaurant that robs us of precious calories? If I'm paying for the buggers, they're coming home with me.
The news that processed meat is bad for our hearts can't have come as a surprise to many. We all know what's healthy and what's not, but we're too greedy to say no and either too lazy or too busy to put in enough hours at the gym to justify our calorie intake.
Instead of fear-mongering with terrifying statistics, or setting up restaurants that promise an evening of calorie free dining, we should be promoting the art of moderation, a skill we can apply to all aspects of our lives.
Granted, Steam encourages healthy eating and, in that, it has my whole-hearted (if slightly hungry) support. But asking us to exercise while we eat? Well that's one step too far for me, I'm afraid.

Dell has spiced up their Vostro line with a pretty sleek looking all-in-one. The system is ideal for a business atmosphere, and its a perfect fit for cubicles. Along with the typical kickstand, the Vostro all-in-one comes with a VESA mount which can be used as a display arm or wall mount.
Its specs are pretty modest, but are both sufficient and suitable to the target. At its best, Dells all-in-one ships with a 19 display, an Intel Core 2 Duo and GMA4500 HD, up to 2GB of RAM and 250GB HDD, wireless peripherals, a webcam, Ethernet with an optional 802.11 adapter. As a true workhorse, it also houses parallel and serial ports and Dell offers a Backup and Recovery Manager as well as video conferencing software.
The Vostro all-in-one has an entry price of $629, which seems fair enough if you compare it to the competition. Its expected to debut in North America on August 11, and is already available in Japan and China.

Fabulous 2 bedroom apartment in La Azohia, Costa Calida. Tranquil, panoramic sea views, private 56m2 roof terrace. 500m from beach, and access to a communal swimming pool.
The spacious living area includes a large open plan kitchen-dining room, comfortable lounge with your entertainment, TV, satellite, DVD, HI-Fi . 2 bedrooms, 1 double and a twin bed with a travel cot for those youngsters. Outside, the roof terrace has dining furniture and a BBQ - perfect for al fresco dining on the warm Spanish evenings.
El Pinar de San Gines nestles behind lovely mature villas in the exclusive San Gines district of La Azohia on the lower slopes of the mountain, on what was pine forest. It is in an incredibly quiet & peaceful spot yet just a five minute walk through lovely residential avenues to the best part of the seafront & several restaurants. winding paths, lovely private gardens, swimming pools proving very popular with families as children can play safely.
1-2 must things to do
Cabo Tinosa - The Guns: These two battery emplacements are well worth a visit, whether you have any interest in military history or not, and are a great place to take the visitors, offering stunning views, interesting architecture and fabulous great guns which make wonderful holiday photographs. There are several factors which make a trip up to 'the guns' as they are popularly called by the local population, such an enjoyable trip - the stunning scenery, the excitement of the guns themselves, and the bizarre architecture. Not for the faint-hearted with a narrow mountainous climb but it is well worth the visit.
The Matildes Mine - Historic mine in La Union:
Originally from the UK and currently living in a small medieval town NE of Barcelona. We love traveling and we know what it's like to rent a holiday apartment so we have the apartment fully equipped. It's just like home from home!
Eileen Swift purchased this apartment in 2004
January 1 2002 after a New Year's Eve party, my friends who live in the area 20 minutes away, took me out for a drive and a coffee to La Azohia. As we entered the bay I could feel my headache leave me and my eyes brighten, shoulders relaxed. The sun shine so brightly against the bluest sky.
It was then I saw a crane at the back of the village and asked to take a look before we left. Weeks later I had made a deposit on an off plan project. The rest they say is history.
We love it. Spain at its best. Spanish speaking and bars that sometimes open when they feel like it.
Years later La Azohia still works its Magic. Through some difficult times it is the place I head for.
Very very Spanish. Untouched by the builders and bulldozers of the other Costas. It remains virtually untouched. The odd bar/ restaurant has made little improvements, but that's not a bad thing. Beach bars (known as chiringuitos) have appeared during the summer months, and that's not a bad thing either and a great place to people watch and see the amazing sunsets.
Live on the solarium with a BBQ and a bottle of local, inexpensive but tasty wine, for some great views especially the fantastic sunsets.
If you are feeling stressed, overloaded with work, La Azohia will certainly recharge the batteries.
We had a fabulous holiday at your apartment. We loved the location and the weather was glorious for the whole week. We hired a car for the week and visited Mazaron and Cartagena and several other local beaches. We did take a spanish dictionary with us, and it was much needed! We loved the fact that it was a very authentic area, full of spanish culture and it made us learn some spanish and we felt very happy to stay in such a wonderful un-commercialized area. We bought bread from the local bread man who came in his van to the apartment every morning, and some fresh fruit from the local farmer who also came around in his van.
We were happy with all the equipment and utensils as they were advertised. In fact it was a bonus for us to have the use of the toys, beach chairs and the cool box. The apartment was lovely and clean when we arrived and felt very homely.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Azohia. The Mediterranean is stunningly beautiful from this little bay and the view from our patio roof was an abosolute delight. The flat was very well appointed, all of the necessities accounted for...a cozy home away from home. We fell very easily into the Spanish rhythm of life...play, eat, sleep, repeat. Possibillities for fun and fascinating day trips were many, we particularly enjoyed the ports of Mazarron and Cartegena. One of our favorite rituals was to go down the hill to the Beach Bar, sip on G and T and watch the sun go down. We were very sad to leave and plan to return again.
Wij hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad in La Azohia!
Het appartement heeft alles wat je nodig hebt, prachtig uitzicht vanaf het dakterras en als het daar te warm op is ben je binnen tien minuten bij de zee!
Boodschappen doen in Mazarron alwaar je de keuze hebt uit : Spar, Mercadona, Lidl, alwaar echt alles te koop is!
De kust en omgeving zijn hier prachtig en lekker rustig!
La Azohia est une petite ville très jolie , la baie est superbe et l'endroit reste encore relativement sauvage.Il y a beaucoup de choses à voir dans les environs, des balades à faire...
La côte n'est pas trop urbanisée et l'endroit est plutôt préservé, pas trop de touristes non plus à cette période de l'année.
L'appartement est très fonctionnel, bien aménagé et la piscine très propre .La terrasse sur le toit offre une magnifique vue sur la baie. Nous aurions aimé avoir un peu plus de chaleur mais on a fait avec !
Un endroit très sympa à partager en famille
Hemos pasado 11 días maravillosos, la ubicación privilegiada, el apartamento en condiciones excelentes y bien surtido de todo.
We had a fabulous short stay in La Azohía. The apartment was just as advertised , clean and with all the necessary for a more than comfortable stay.
The contact with the owner was excellent, always prompt replies to my queries and I even received a text informing me the apartment was ready before the agreed time , a nice touch as we were already in the area and went straight there.
We loved the beach at La Azohía, take goggles or snorkelling gear especially for the kids as there are lots of fish to see. Crabbing in rock pools was fun too !
La Azohia and surrounding area.
La Azohia is cuddled by mountains and surrounded by sea. The beautiful sandy beach stretches for miles and even
in the highest season you can find a beach to yourselves.The Costa Calida is a beautiful part of Spain.
The area has a quiet village atmosphere with some local bars a mini-mart and the La Azohia 4 star hotel.
The Port of Mazarron is 10 minutes drive away, and the main shopping area is just further along about 5 minutes drive. There is a wide variety of bars, restaurants, shops, Sunday market, banks and hotels.
The town of Mazarron is 25 minutes drive away from the apartment, with Cartagena being 20 minutes away, which
also has some lovely shops. The surrounding area is very rural with mountain scenery and lots of greenery. There are small pockets of different towns, such as Fuente Alamo and La Manga for you golfers.
