Humidifiers using fine droplets of water have invaded hypermarket fruit and vegetable display units and Parisian café terraces during heat waves. Today, the humidification technique has been extended to refrigeration installation air condensers to improve their energy efficiency. The key results: energy savings and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Did you know that more than 15% of the electrical energy produced in industrialized countries was consumed by cold production (12%) and air conditioning (3%)? Yet consuming kilowatts is increasingly expensive, reduces fossil fuel resources, and increases greenhouse gas emissions. In the majority of refrigeration installations, the operating condition of the air condenser, located at the back of the unit, in contact with ambient air, is a decisive element in the amount of power consumed by the refrigeration unit.
Cemagref research is being conducted to improve the energy efficiency of the condensers of cooling devices using humidification techniques. The objective is to develop an efficient and economical process that can be adapted to mid- and high-power refrigerating devices, as low as 10 kWh.
The humidification principle
We have all experienced a sensation of heat when passing behind a functioning refrigerator or air conditioner. The cause of this phenomenon is the air condenser, a heat exchanger made up of tubes with air fins attached to the back of the device. This is where the cooling fluid condenses by releasing its heat into the ambient air. To limit the system's energy consumption, humidification processes were initiated. The principle consists of saturating the ambient air in contact with the exchanger by projecting fine water droplets. Humidification of the air intensifies the heat exchange on the air side and reduces the cooling fluid's condensation temperature. This lowers the compression rate in the cooling cycle and improves the compressor's consumption of electrical power.
Making gains at every level
The process empirically applied needed to be optimized in view of its application to air conditioning and industrial refrigeration. Research was initiated in this context in 2006 by the ENERFRI team at Antony. A preliminary mathematical model made it possible to estimate the energy savings that could be made with an optimized humidification process, reaching up to 20% of the total electrical energy consumed. In addition, by integrating the humidification system at the design stage, it was possible to reduce the loads of cooling fluid by 10%. Knowing that most of these fluids are suspected of contributing directly to the greenhouse gas effect, the direct gain for the environment is substantial.
Improving scientific knowledge
A pilot project is being constructed to understand the interaction between the humidity and a surface made up of tubes and air fins spaced 2–3 mm apart. The theoretical models will then be validated by varying the size and number of droplets measured by an optical granulometer. What is the optimal water flow to prevent the condensers from producing drops that flow on the air fins and obtain a maximum effect for a minimal water consumption? What is the optimal droplet size? How far from the unit should the humidifier be installed? These are the questions that Cemagref researchers are attempting to answer so as to define the optimal conditions for efficient and economical humidification of air condensers.

Government In Focus Elections
Meet the MLC election candidates
Who is running at the June 10th Bengaluru graduate constituency election for a seat in Karnataka's legislative council? Here is a quick run down.
Gowda and his supporters say that his best work was solving teachers' problems during the SM Krishna government (1999-2004). "As office bearer in associations, I got government to increase promotion rate, salaries and medical allowances of teachers. I also helped schools get grants," says Gowda.
He says that if elected, he will focus more on graduates' problems. "There are MLAs and corporators to look after general issues. This is graduates' constituency, so I will focus on graduates' unemployment issues, teachers' problems on salary scale disparity, low salary in unaided schools etc. Retired government employees also face issues of pension and benefits," he says.
On water scarcity and city's growth, Gowda says that migration into the city should be controlled. "Sub-cities should be developed in Kanakpura, Magadi, Nelamangala etc. Other district headquarters should also be improved so that growth is evenly distributed."
Ashwin Mahesh
ABIDe member Ashwin Mahesh is contesting as Lok Satta party's candidate. Mahesh was elected as candidate through a preliminary election within the party. He has been the only candidate to have public campaigns and endorsements, while other candidates have been campaigning in select organisations. He is also campaigning strongly with the IT community, where there is better reception for reform politics, and uses social media, unlike other candidates.
Mahesh has a degree in physics, MBA, MS (Master of Science) in astronomy and Ph.D in geophysics. Having worked in NASA in US for six years, Mahesh returned to Bangalore in 2005. He has since worked with government agencies to improve governance and infrastructure.
Currently he is Urban Strategy Advisor to state government and Special Advisor to BMTC. He is associated with introducing BIG-10 bus system in the city. He is also part of six state government committees including BBMP's Technical Advisory Committee. He is also a researcher at Centre for Public Policy in IIM-B.
He has also founded social technology company Mapunity and is co-founder and editor of national affairs e-magazine India Together. He has worked with India Against Corruption (IAC) movement for introduction of Jan Lokpal Bill.
Mahesh has been campaigning with the agenda of increasing citizen participation in governance. He says that there is a 'new India' that directly engages with public problems because it has the economic means, along with tools like social media, to do this. "New India does not mean urban Bangalore alone. We saw this group rise during the IAC movement," says Mahesh. He says there is sufficient number of 'new Indians' to vote for the change in governance that he and Lok Satta advocates.
Mahesh says that, if elected, he will push for proper implementation of Community Participation law and for Bangalore Metropolitan Regional Governance Bill (both of which promote citizen participation) to be tabled in both houses. "I will push for community-management for lakes. I will maintain a public record of all my votes in the Council and will try to blog about my work so that citizens can see the policy-making and implementation process."
About the city's water crisis, he says that this is due to three follies - not tapping local lakes for supply, not pricing BWSSB water properly, and not tackling the water mafia. "I will push for a regulator for the water sector, similar to power. I would push for pricing of borewells according to water extracted, for adoption of dual piping in all new communities, and for a proper set of water reuse guidelines," he says.
Nagalaxmi Bai
A Kannada journalist for the last 23 years, Nagalaxmi Bai, is contesting as an independent. Most recently she was known for filing a PIL (Public Interest Litigation) against Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda for illegal use of his BDA-allotted plot in HSR Layout.
Nagalaxmi, 50, says that she decided to contest as an independent as no political party is free from corruption. She has also filed a PIL on BBMP's misappropriation of Rs 1539 cr from three wards that was revealed last year; her team has also filed a case in Lokayukta against Home and Transport Minister R Ashoka alleging illegal denotification of land.
Nagalaxmi is a postgraduate in Economics, graduate in law, and has a diploma in journalism. She has worked with organisations like Prajavani and Doordarshan, and is currently Chief Reporter at a news agency Kannada Suddi Samsthe. She has authored five books with subjects ranging from corruption to female foeticide. She has also been member of Central Film Certification Board.
She says that she will also focus on women's issues such as lack of safety, discrimination and female foeticide. "Women are expected to compromise for family and are harassed otherwise. Awareness should be raised on this, and counselling given in such cases. Women should be encouraged to contribute to society."Regarding water crisis, Nagalaxmi says that use of BWSSB water for private building construction should be stopped. "There is too much migration, so MNCs should go to smaller towns. We do not need IT/BT companies, they do not cater to local people in need", she says. ⊕
The CPI(M) candidate is K S Lakshmi, 41, a post graduate in Economics from Bangalore University. She is state General Secretary of CPI(M)'s women's wing AIDWA (All India Democratic Women's Association). She has been a senate member of Bangalore University and state President of SFI (Students Federation of India) before. She was endorsed by CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat in April.
Lakshmi says that she might have enrolled around 13,000 new voters - she and the party's 20 teams meet graduates. "We have had constraints as a big budget is needed for campaigning. Election Commission itself should get graduates enrolled, and distribute information on candidates," she says. She says that the impact of globalisation is visible - "Education is too costly, there are no salary hikes or job security, suicide rates and gender discrimination is high - these are common people's issues, and I have been campaigning on these."
* Article corrected June 14th 2012. Deve Gowda was incorrectedly reported as the JD(S) candidate in the 2006 MLC election. He had contested from the Congress party.

Quakers – disability funds for artist
Physical and mental impairment is a condition that tends to deteriorate ones physical and monetary health and this is the reason why so much importance is being given to grants. Talking of the artists suffering from an ailment, these grants hold vital importance as most of them do not have a permanent job backing them.
Funding for disabilities grant for single mothers
Vincent Van Gogh, a painter has committed to multiple mental asylums seeking cure to his mental disability. Dante, the writer of Divine Comedy suffered from epilepsy and Ray Charles, was blind by the age of seven. Looking at this, one can surely make out that the importance of grants for artists with disabilities is not less than the normal individuals at all.
AFM Lester Petrillo Fund for Disabled Musicians
Under this grant for artists, disabled musicians are provided with immediate assistance. The trustees of the fund determines the eligibility of funds after looking at the reports submitted by the musicians.
Official Website: www.afm.org
The California Arts Council's Arts Program Grant
In this the artists with disabilities are offered grants to provide them with an opportunity to participate in arts. The grant provided can be used to buy art material or come out with a production studio.
Official Website: www.semel.ucla.edu/nadc
Unlimited Arts Fund
Unlimited, providers grants to deaf and disabled artists via the Unlimited Arts Fund. Both disabled artists and organizations can apply for a grant.
Grants for Artists with Disabilities
There were many artists in the world who were disabilities. Still they had talent. If we talking about artists with disabilities, how we can forget Ray Charles, who was blind. There are many such artists who have been suffered with some of disabilities. I want to draw your attention towards various grants available for artists with disabilities.
Disable Musician
There is a Fund called AFM Lester Petrillo, it is for Disabled Musicians. This fund has been administrator by The American Federation of Musicians. Under this Fund program, if any musician who has been disabled can apply for this grant funds. Official Website

The Lucky Ones: A Bright Young Things Novel (edition 2012)
by Anna Godbersen
Work details
The Lucky Ones by Anna Godbersen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A nice wrap-up to the trilogy.
This is the conclusion to the Bright Young Things trilogy. The story of Letty, Astrid and Cordelia is continued and wrapped up in a final epilogue. Astrid has married Charlie Grey, a bootlegger and Cordelia's brother. Letty is got her break in the movie business and is trying to sort out her feelings about Valentine O'Dell. Cordelia still wants to spend time with Max even though their association has hurt both of them. The summer is coming to an end, lives are spinning out of control and prohibition is in full swing. Organized gangs are trying to bring each other down, making alcohol a dangerous business. The reader will learn about each of the characters regrets and choices they make. I would say that the ending might leave the reader shocked with the unexpected turn of events.
If readers have read the first two books in this series, they will definitely want to read the third book. It was a quick, fun story to read. I think that this book will appeal to girls. I think it is appropriate for a school library. The only thing to be aware is references to sex (nothing graphic) and underage drinking. There was a lot of relationship drama and a relatively graphic shooting scene. The ending was a little abrupt and I had to read it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Since I had started to trilogy, I wanted to finish it. I would recommend it to students for fun reading. I would put the book on a new book display. I do not really see any curriculum connections, except for some of the historical aspects of prohibition and how business was conducted. But I do not see it fitting into a history classroom. It is a good book for a few hours of entertainment and escape.
really could not get past the first 20 pages - characters too shallow and frankly I couldn't give a damn about their plight!
Anna Godbersen is one of my favorite authors of all time, so I will faithfully devour anything she puts out. Anna continues to immerse us in her beautiful writing and transport us back to the 1920s with her imagery. The plot and characters are just as strong as they were in the beginning of the series, but there is a note of caution that was absent from the earlier novels now that the girls have all lived through some very horrific tragedies.
One of the things I love about Anna's characters is that they are always relatively independent given the worlds they live in. They are brave and unafraid to take risks. Cordelia, Letty, Astrid, & Billy are all quite daring given that they lived in the 1920s. In Astrid's case, however, I think her risk taking behavior was largely due to her youthful naivety and belief that nothing truly bad would become of her actions. Unfortunately for her, she had to learn the hard way that actions do have consequences that no one can escape.
Unlike Astrid, Letty & Cordelia were both lucky and truly brave. It took a lot of courage to leave their small town and travel to such a big city. They were still naive—I don't think they quite grasped how difficult it would be to become successful in NYC, but it certainty takes guts to leave everything you've ever known behind and start all over. With a lot of determination and a bit of luck, they were able to make their dreams come true and I loved watching them strive to achieve their goal.
From the prologue of Bright Young Things, we know that one of the girls will be famous, one of the girls will be married, and one will be dead. At the beginning of the story, however, two are quite famous and two are married. This makes it really difficult to figure out who will die, as each girl tends to be placed in bad situations and all three are exposed to the seedy bootlegging world that existed during prohibition. The outcome of each girl's fate was a bit surprising, as was how it happened. I have to say I was expecting a bit more of a dramatic outcome, but it was lovely and sad at the same time.
Anna Godbersen continues to deliver beautiful & riveting stories with The Lucky Ones. She has a unique ability to sweep you up in her novels and endear her characters to you. I so enjoyed reading The Lucky Ones and I have to say that the wait for Anna's next novel will be excruciating as always.

I'm new to Silverstripe and am wondering if content has an owner. I would like to set up permissions similar to Drupal where a user can only edit the content they created. I only see group permissions. Is this something you can do in Silverstripe?
Welcome to the forums!
Absolutely, within the code for the relevant page (or all pages) add fucntions returning true/false for canView/canEdit/canCreate based on the user. Somethign like this (including Willr comments) http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/16894
I haven't used this myself but I do believe it is might be worth checking out the advanced workflow module https://github.com/silverstripe-australia/advancedworkflow becasue this adds more to the control of editting sitetree content
Thank you for your kind welcome and for your quick response. I will have to check out the advancedworkflow module
I found this module https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-peruseraccess but so far I haven't had any success in installing it.
I am initially trying to create a community event calendar where users can add events but should only be allowed to edit/delete their own events.

I love venn diagrams. (And data. And numbers. And other ways I can better visualize fandom.) I also love Twitter so I was ecstatic to discover TwitterVen which helps visualize what is going on Twitter using venn diagrams. I cranked it up and made the following chart with the keywords of Harry Potter, Twilight and fanfic.
Lo! Behold! Wow! Twilight sure gets a lot of mentions on Twitter. Not surprising. I've read a number of people on LJ fandom talk about how Twilight will one day be bigger than Harry Potter. I've seen enough of data to know that Twilight fandom NOW is bigger than Harry Potter fandom NOW. What seems really surprising here is that there aren't more mentions for both terms AND fanfic. Twilight and Harry Potter are mentioned more frequently together than those either with fanfic.
We have a couple more TwitterVens. If you create your own (upload it!), let us know if you find anything interesting!

Australia: Indian-origin doctor win right to question jurors
Dr Patel is accused of causing the death of 75-year-old Mervyn Morris at the Bundaberg Hospital in 2003.
Melbourne: Indian-origin surgeon Jayant Patel's defence team has won the right to question jurors ahead of his manslaughter trial, the first of its kind in a legal case in Australia's Queensland province.
62-year-old Patel's legal team led by Ken Fleming made an application under the Jury Act to poll the jury to try to discern any bias against their client. Patel, who is accused of causing the death of 75-year-old Mervyn Morris at the Bundaberg Hospital in 2003, is due to face trial in the Supreme Court in Brisbane from January 5.
The Crown has alleged that Patel caused his patient's death by performing an unnecessary operation. Justice George Fryberg allowed the application and it is likely that the 12 jurors and three reserves will be asked to fill out a questionnaire in the jury room about Patel, according to media reports here.
Fryberg is expected to publish his reasons for allowing the application at another date. He has asked the defence lawyers and prosecution to consider overnight what format the polling might take.
The questions would be answered without discussion, with a bailiff in the room to enforce the rule and once the answers were completed lawyers would be able to question any jurors in open court, according to the reports.
Unless there was a request from a juror for an answer to remain private, the answers would be made public, it said.

Fog causes flight cancellations
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The fog slowed down travelers both on the road and in the air today.
Eleven flights have been canceled so far at the Colorado Springs Airport. It's a move the airport says is rare.
"We got here at 8 yesterday checked in, flight was delayed, still delayed, still delayed finally they said it's canceled for the day. So they said come back tomorrow so we came back at 6:45 and it's delayed again until 12," said Nanabah Aseph, a delayed traveler.
Getting stuck in the airport is frustrating for anyone. But for Nanabah, it's especially difficult, because she's in a wheelchair, and has a service dog.
"I wouldn't want to be up there right now so I'd say let's just wait and be patient. The dog can't sit inside for several hours he needs to go out and get water, food. It's kind of hard for him to pull me and luggage around but he does a good job," said Nanabah.
The assistant aviation director told us the fog itself isn't rare. What is unusual is how long it's sticking around.
"We'll miss our connection and the girls have been away from the gym for five days. We're away from work and school so we really need to get back. We missed a lot of days so I don't want to miss anymore days of school and gymnastics," said a gymnastics group trying to get back to New Jersey.
To fly in and out, airlines need at least a quarter of a mile of visibility.
But on Monday, pilots were having trouble seeing close to the ground.
Although Nanabah has been stuck at the airport for two days, she says she's impressed.
"They've been so good to me inside, they've been helping me take care of my luggage. They even offered me meals. Three different people came up and said do you need a meal? We know you're stuck. It's awesome. People come together in stuff like this. It's human kindness and there's not a lot of stuff like that in the world right now," said Nanabah.

When booking our reservations, the staff at GW was very professional and knowledgable about every detail of our ski trip. More than willing to match the best lodging arrangements, transportation to and from airport, location near slopes, to ski rentals/lessons for our party of 9. We were just steps away from the lifts. Everyone loved it. The only thing I would like to see changed is to have more lighting throughout the unit. It never seems bright enough. Other than that, our experience was great!

Also have you noticed increased fuel economy. I am well aware that they aren't meant to be a 45 mph Toyota Prius but currently I am getting about 12.9 mpg and am looking to try to get closer to 15 if possible. Mine has 55, 000 miles and I am unaware of how it was mantained by the previous owner. It runs well and smooth. I am planning on doing a tune up and cold air intake and see were that gets me.

During our time at the southern most points of the US we drove out along the highway towards Marathon on the way to Key West. The seven mile bridge is just as it sounds and it is quite an amazing thing to see and just after it we found a quiet beach were we stopped and enjoyed the clear water and glorious sunshine. We also made use of the local pools and fishing industry to relax and enjoy some great food.
Now, at this point we could go into great detail about the interactions we have had with some of the locals here
As we said we fly out of Miami on Thursday evening so during the day we drove back up the highway, stopping off in Florida City for an interesting, American version of a KFC, and then on to Miami. We took a drive over the bridge to the famous beach and then back to look at the Art Deco buildings and streets of the city before heading for the airport for our flight to Buenos Aires.

Treasury bonds are among the best-performing assets this year to date. If you look at the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:TLT), you'll find that it has risen over 11 percent for the year. This is despite the fact that the fund hit a multiyear low at the end of 2013 and the fact that investors were unanimously bearish on Treasury bonds at the beginning of the year.
With the rise we have seen in bonds so far this year, we have seen some analysts come out with bullish remarks on the Treasury market, but still, the prevailing viewpoint is that rates are going to rise going forward. Furthermore, this viewpoint is presented as axiomatic. Consider, for example, this article from Fidelity. The language implies that interest rates must rise.
But while this may be true, the fact that this is the prevailing viewpoint means that, from a contrarian standpoint, the best bet to make for the shorter term is that rates will fall and that long-dated Treasury bonds will rise in price.
This has been a difficult trade to make because it doesn't make any fundamental sense. The supply of bonds is increasing and demand for bonds is decreasing on many fronts: the Chinese, Japanese, and the Federal Reserve are all reducing their demand for bonds. In fact, the only source of new demand that is readily visible is from Belgium.

Like that pun isn′t getting old by now ;) [writing from Auckland, New Zealand]
Have been in NZ past few days, and this is the first time I′ve actually gotten online since I came here. Two days without internet feels like having my arms cut off [except for the excruciating pain and loss of blood of course].
There are old volcanos right in the city here! I went up and stood of the crater rim of Mt Eden– amazing! I wanted to go down into the crater, but there were signs everywhere saying "keep out" and another guy was already down there spelling out words in rocks.
At internet cafe now, which is not really my preferred access point, so I might sign off now…
UPDATE: Back in Sydney now, looking at my paltry collection of generic scenery snapshots. Ah well. Here's a shot looking across that crater I mentioned:

I'm starting to think it may be the G28 crank sensor. I found in my Bently that the gray plug for it is left of the engine filter but there is no replacement procedure for it. Where is the actual sensor located? Can I get to it from the top of the engine or do I have to get under the engine?

Third, you need to be qualified for the job. Fourth, you need to know how to find information and how to ask good questions (you need to not ask bad questions). Finally, we have tips for getting the job.

At a game studio. I mean how can you be anything bit guru level to actually get a job as a game programmer. I am reading direct11 by Frank Luna just know. How far away would the average game programmer be from someone like Luna for instance.

To get through an interview and be offered a job in a games studio you need to be good.
Once you get through the door though its a different story, you will find there is a massive difference in the abilities of all the developers. Some are absolute genius and some are shockingly bad with the majority of developers somewhere in between.

ram y,
For an entry-level programming job, most employers expect to see a Computer Science degree (bachelors, not associates or masters).
Self-taught candidates are expected to know the equivalent of a 4-year CS degree.
By the way, I moved your post to the Game Industry Job Advice forum. You might want to have a look at this forum's FAQs.

You don't need to be able to write a book on game programming to be a game programmer. Not every game developer is expected to be the lead graphics programmer or engine architect. Most game programmers never touch a graphics API in their whole careers as part of their job, nor are they expected to design or implement any part of the core engine. Also consider internships vs junior positions vs senior positions vs lead positions. Show enthusiasm and some basic skills and knowledge of game development and you've got a good shot at being an intern but if you expect to be a lead you'd better have shipped at least a few (if not dozens of) AAA games and have a very strong set of leadership and technical skills

Now they require at least a BSc in CS or equivalent. Back in the 90s that wasn't that strict. I regularly talk to guys in the industry, Jason Rubin (formerly of Naughty Dog) was telling me that the team members he worked with on Crash Bandicoot had high school diplomas while one or two didn't even finish high school and some did have college degrees. Tells you how times have changed.

I mean how can you be anything but guru level to actually get a job as a game programmer.
A good development team is going to have a ratio of "Peons" to Gurus greater than 1. That is, there are going to be more Peons than Gurus, typically anywhere from 2-4 times more. This is because developing any professional software (games included) requires a substantial amount of what Guru types see as... let's call it menial development work that they are usually quite averse to getting involved with.
When I say Peon, I'm really just referring to the average Software Developer with either a BS in CS, or an equivalent amount of demonstrable experience/knowledge.
The non-degree path is still a viable path in today's environment, but it does require a lot more motivation, perseverance, and individual drive than the university route.
Posted 19 February 2014 - 01:56 PM
It's a toss up. I've been at game companies where we wrote in C++ and the lead programmer barely knew any c++ and in general the code base was horrible >_>
Alternatively, I've had two lead programmers who never went to college and were absolutely amazing.
Like the post said, it's all about getting through the interview and most of the time the interview isn't about how good of a programmer you are.
Posted 19 February 2014 - 03:20 PM
Like the post said, it's all about getting through the interview and most of the time the interview isn't about how good of a programmer you are.
Yeah, the interviews and tests they do normally don't have anything to do with the programming prowess, but rather your ability to understand the problem and problem solving abilities.
Though, also, you don't have to work for a company to have a job as a game programmer. You could just look into indie teams and start programming for them or start your own game and program it. With things like kickstarter and the other crowdfunding sites, you can always try to get backed. If you are younger than 18, then just be patient, you have plenty of time to hone your skills and land your dream job.

I don't have a programming background, but from my experience I've found to get a job you just need to be able to do that job. I've got a background in science, but I got my current job as a 3D artist by just spending a couple of months learning some software and going to a company and saying 'look, I can do this.' They needed someone who could do that, then followed some brief contract work and a trial period, then a job.

A beautiful and luxurious villa with salt water swimming pool. The villa ' ILGelso' is set in a large private garden. There is a spacious paved patio surrounding the beautiful salt water pool. There are two gazebos on the patio, one for dining al fresco, the second has built in seating where you can sit and watch the sun go down. Perfect for those warm balmy evenings.
The Trullo has been lovingly restored maintaining many of the original features. Furniture is stylish with a relaxed elegance. IL Gelso has beautiful spacious rooms throughout. The accommodation comprises of a large master suite with en suite, french doors leading out onto the patio. 1 Double bedroom with its own dressing room and access to the Jack and Jill bathroom. A twin room with separate dressing room and access to the J & J bathroom. A beautifully appointed lounge with views onto the pool. A spacious comfortable dining room. The kitchen is very well equipped with top of the range equipment.
The villa is perfect for groups of friends or families looking for stylish luxury
Extra interests for children: Zoo Safari in Fasano a great day out for children, with animals a funfair and a theatre
Castellana Grotto underground caves . Believed to be amongst the largest in Europe,. Interesting for all the family.
Egnazia , Ruins of a Roman encampment and port
Matera , Cave dwellings which were inhabited by the Troglodyte's The place where Mel Gibson filmed the Passion
The most gorgeous house we have ever stayed in. We had an amazing, relaxing time. Thank you for being such warm welcoming hosts. Our highlights were Matera, Polignano a Mare, Martina Franca and Ostuni.We had two great dinners at Gli Ulivi round the corner.
We will be recommending to our friends and hope to come back again one day
We stayed in Il Gelso for 1 week in mid July. From initial booking Anita was great with information etc. I was concerned that I couldn't pay by PayPal so I rang her and we discussed it, and she put my mind at ease.
When we arrived the villa was immaculate. As other reviewers have said, it's better in reality than the photos; and that's saying something.!
It is ideally located approx 1.5 miles outside Alberobello on a country road. It is very peaceful, yet convenient to the shops, restaurants etc in the town. I took walks along some of the adjoining country lanes in the evening and it was so picturesque.
All the furnishings and equipment in the villa are top notch, including excellent, free wifi coverage.
The outdoor area around the pool is ideal for BBQ's and the pool itself is a good size. Our 3 boys (9, 11 and 13) loved it.
Great location for exploring Puglia. We visited the caves at Castellana, Ostuni, Lecce and Polignano a Mare. The beaches are good, but not spectacular on the Adriatic coast and are a 25 min drive.
Anita and Pino were excellent hosts, offering great recommendations for restaurants etc.
I would definitely recommend this villa.
We have just returned to Ireland after spending 12 wonderful days in Il Gelso. This villa is everything and more than the pictures show. We were a family of five with three young adults in their early 20s. This is a place to truly relax and get to see the wonderful area of Puglia. Anita and Pino are exceptional owners and were so helpful from the moment we made our booking. We have been booking our holidays through VRBO for years and we would have to say that the owners of this property are the kindest, friendliest and most professional we have dealt with. This villa will not disappoint. We really hope we can return some day.
Amazing week in a beautifully & tastefully decorated luxury villa. Anita & Pino are incredibly welcoming, friendly & helpful, advising on super places to eat & visit. They have thought of everything you need for a relaxing & peaceful stay. IL Gelso is quite frankly a magical place to stay, the only downside was a week was not long enough!
I found Il Gelso on HomeAway about a year ago and was immediately drawn to it because of the stunning pictures and fantastic reviews across the board that it has received. I have to say that it doesn't disappoint in any way at all, the place itself and location is just fantastic. So close to Alberobello, yet beautifully set in the wonderfully rustic Puglia countryside.
It really looks better than the pictures when you arrive, the attention to detail, the gorgeous pool, kitchen and bedrooms are just fantastic and the outside area for al fresco dining is so atmospheric in the evenings. Anita and Pino are so helpful and welcoming and only a call away should you need them.
I would absolutely recommend il Gelso to anybody looking for an authentic family Trullo experience. Just fantastic!
p.s Apologies for such a late review
We were a family of 4 adults and one infant. The Trullo had been recommended by a friend and we can only confirm their recommendation that it was a great place to stay for a holiday.
We booked the Trullo direct with the owner, Anita. Everything was without problem and the communication prior to and leading up to out stay was excellent. Anita confirmed the facilities available, which included washing machine, full kitchen equipment, towels etc so that we were able to travel light. We were provided with direction on how to get to Alberobello and Anita met us at a pre arranged meeting place and took us to the villa. We were late arriving but this was not a problem to her.
The Trullo was excellent. Very clean and well appointed. We had a young infant (2yrs) and there were cots available to chose from which Anita sorted on our arrival.
There was a welcome pack which included bread, water and wine which was appreciated on arrival.
The beds were comfortable and there was wifi available. There was initially a problem with the wifi but Anita and Pino sorted things out straight away so there wasn't a problem getting access to the internet.
Everything was explained to us on arrival, layout, alarm system, lights etc.
The Trullo has a lovely swimming pool which Pino keeps clean and in very good condition.
There is a BBQ which we used on several occasions and also a gas oven and hob for cooking.
The outside space was large. A lovely patio with two sheltered areas for shade, eight sun beds and a dining table and chairs for outdoor dining. All were well maintained.
Throughout our stay both Anita and Pino were very helpful. It helped greatly that they were living in the town and they were always available to provide assistance and advice if and when required. They were lovely people.
The Trullo itself is located on the outskirts of Alberobello so a car is a necessity. We had hired a car so that wasn't a problem. The Trullo is ideally located to be a base for visiting the towns of the area. All within an hour drive. This was our first visit to this part of Italy and we felt that staying at Il Gelso enhanced our experience. It was both relaxing and central which suited our needs.
We would definitely recommend staying at Il Gelso to our friends or anyone who is planning a visit to this area.
For us definitely a 5 star rating
Our family of 5 (children 11, 15, 17) stayed for a week and had a brilliant time. The trullo is equipped to a high standard and the outside space is exceptional. The pool was used several times every day.
Local cuisine is great value and quality.
I have no hesitation recommending this property.
The Tame Family

We went bowling and had a good time. Staff were friendly and the lanes and scoring system worked well. The only thing to improve would be more balls that are of the small/xsmall/xxsmall and medium size. We had to wait for the only ones we had to come back which made the game a bit slow but still was fun!...
The entire complex seems like a hidden gem. Ice skating, bowling, a playground...next to a Children's Activity Center ( we didn't go in but sounds like a hands on kids museum), and a mall with a movie theater and lots of food. I imagine it may not be a secret to the locals but during the weekday on vacation it...
Fabulous ice rink, with a beautiful glass panel allowing loads of natural light, in a great location.
Their schedule is excellent too.
On the other hand, out of the 4 times I have been there so far, on 3 occasions, Dealing with 3 different cashiers, I thought the customer service was absolutely DREADFUL.
On 1 specific occasion, on a 3...
In an effort to find late night entertainment we headed to the Yerba Buena Bowling Center. It turns out it was disco bowling night which really means let's increase our prices to almost double what normal day time bowling costs. For the money we paid I didn't feel like we got enough. The disco bowling includes lights and music videos....
I love this ice rink! It's beautiful, full of light, and very friendly people. The ice is always amazing and for the first time I attended the coffee club session for 18 and over in the am. They had free donuts, coffee and a free group lesson to whomever wanted to participate. Of course I did. I always look forward...
Close to the Metreon and the Moscone Convention Center, Yerba Buena Ice Skating Center is a fun place to go ice skating indoors when in San Francisco. I have enjoyed the center.
Yerba Buena center is the perfect place to spend a day with kids! There's an ice skating rink, bowling alley, creativity museum, enclosed carousel, outdoor cafe and fabulous play area. It's got more than enough to do in a day, or a weekend, and is clean and well maintained. Lots of fun for kids and grown-ups alike!
I went skating at Yerba Buena with my co-workers last December. The rink is sizeable and the skates are standard. We made sure to go mid-afternoon so the space wasn't crowded and we were free to stumble our way across the ice. The staff seemed bored but helped us when needed.
If you're looking for standard, no-frills ice skating then...
While strolling through the Verba Buena Gardens park, my grandson and I ran across this ice skating arena. He asked to go skating so checked it out. We were there at open skating time. Admission was $10 and skate rental $3. What a bargain. The area was well managed, clean and very reasonable.

Closure or a new Opening?
Poem by: sowosamma25
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
What a great day
I finally got some closure
at the same time a new opening
and the day is not over yet.
I could write the best poem I´ve ever written.
I could die tonight.
I could be enlightened more tonight.
I could have the best dream I´ve ever had tonight.
I could get some good news
or I could receive some real bad news tonight
or nothing will happen.
It doesn´t matter.
Being caught between closing a door or opening it,
that´s the life.
Just holding the doorknob
hoping a fresh breeze of air is there to feel,
just hoping there could be something new behind the door
or the new thing was already in front of the door
just not recognized yet.
Learning to love something you´ve hated or
watching beauty fade and show its real face.
It´s a journey you´re in
or start
or finish.
This journey called life
or death,
past or future lives and deaths.
You can call it whatever you like but
you can´t escape or run away from it.
You can make the best or the worst out of it.
It´s like a big gorilla is raping you.
You either fight against it and you will get hurt,
or you just relax and enjoy.
