Apart from going through a divorce with the former first lady, Cole intends to enjoy a relaxed and prosperous retirement. When the town fathers ask him to fill a mayoral seat that has recently become vacant, a position to which he'll be acclaimed, Cole sees no reason not to accept. That is until Harold "Handy" Harrison (Romano), the popular owner of the local hardware store, decides to run against him. Cole, who has never lost an election in his entire political career, finds himself facing a potentially embarrassing defeat. Fate ups the ante when he unknowingly makes a move on Harrison's girlfriend, and the campaign becomes a race not just for the job, but for the girl. Not even Cole's high popularity ratings and years of political experience have prepared him to take on "Plumber Power," and what began as a sure thing quickly accelerates into a raucous campaign of clashing egos, misunderstandings and political conniving in the formerly benign and civilized environs of Mooseport.

The police end up placing much of their focus on the sullen Michael, who they question without counsel and without discussion with his parents. The tone of the police questioning is that they believe Michael did kill his sister, the police lying, harassing and coercing in the process. Under the barrage of questioning, Michael eventually confesses, as do two of his friends, both questioned under the same threatening tone. Cheryl and Stephen, who are finally made aware of the questioning and the confessions, enlist the help of sympathetic attorney, Dorothy Sorenson, to clear Michael and his friends while trying to find the real killer, who they believe is a transient named Richard Tuite.

Karl Pruner TV Shows
H2O II: The Trojan Horse
The Trojan Horse is a Canadian political drama two-part miniseries from 2008, which is a sequel to the 2004 miniseries, H2O. The story revolves around a Canadian national referendum to decide whether or not Canada will join the United States.
Street Legal
Street Legal
Canadian television drama that focused on professional and personal lives of the members of Toronto law firm. The show, set and often shot in downtown Toronto, dealt with Canadian issues that made it strikingly different from its counterparts. Filled with memorable characters and, at times, controversial storylines, the series ran for eight seasons and was one of the most successful Canadian productions.
Nothing Sacred
Nothing Sacred is an excellent drama that focuses on the life and times of the administration of St. Thomas' church, a Roman Catholic parish in Chicago. It is a realistic (if somewhat fast-paced) show that takes real issues facing people today and puts a religious spin on things. It deals with AIDS, abortion, and charity to the poor, among other things. Perhaps the best aspect of the show is its unabashed belief in the existence of God. The main characters pray, and they talk about their faith. We see actual Roman Catholic liturgy in action. We hear homilies that drive the point home.<br> While Nothing Sacred could perhaps be considered too liberal in some circles, it does a very good job of showing many sides of an issue... and the overwhelming message of the show is that we are to love and care for other people, just as Christ did when He was on Earth.
The Twilight Zone
This show is based on Rod Serling's classic TV anthology show, The Twilight Zone. Redoing some episodes and doing new ones 20 years laters after the originals, these are made in color and in one-hour episodes. Most of the episodes contained two or three stories, and were broken up in half hour episodes for syndication. CBS cancelled the show in its second season, but it was picked up by a Canadian producer and aired in syndication in a half-hour format.
The show contains mostly ironic or special situations with a twist at the end, which show the human nature, coupled with science fiction, horror or fantasy. Some of the show's writers are well known: Harlan Ellison, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Sidney Sheldon and J. Michael Straczynski. The opening and closing music was done by The Grateful Dead.
Due South
Benton Fraser comes to Chicago in an attempt to find out who killed his father. After solving the murder, he decides to stick around and work for the local Canadian consulate. He has made friends with a local detective, Ray Vecchio, whose sister, Francesca, has a major crush on him. Although Vecchio is often confused by Benton's strange way of doing things and Benton is often confused by how things are done south of the border, the two get along famously.
Ready or Not
Follow the ups and downs of life with best friends Amanda Zimm and Busy Ramone as they deal with adolescence, boys, family, school and friends. Throughout the show's 5 year run, the girls matured from the sixth grade to the ninth grade. The show ends when one of the main characters (Amanda Zimm) has to move to the West Coast. Her best friend on the show, Busy Ramone, stays behind.
Living in Your Car
Steve Unger had it all - money, a beautiful wife, a mansion, and a great kid - until greed got in the way.
Living In Your Car is the offbeat story of one corrupt business mogul's fall from grace and his faltering and often pathetic attempts to regain the life he lost.
PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal
Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal is a Canadian sci-fi/drama television series which was filmed in and around Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and aired 88 episodes from 1996 to 2000. The presence of Dan Aykroyd opening and closing every episode and emphasizing the legitimacy of the organization it was inspired by led some viewers to take the show somewhat more seriously than intended, though it was in fact a scripted drama.
The year is 2044, and the drug of choice is Tek - a mind-blowing virtual reality stimulant that has created a whole new breed of ruthless criminals. Star Trek legend William Shatner directs and stars in this stunning futuristic detective thriller based on his best-selling Tek novels.

Puppets Who Kill
Puppets Who Kill is a live-action 30 minute comedy series.
The show is about a half-way house for very bad puppets.
Puppets who lie - Puppets who cheat - Puppets who have no
respect for anything - Puppets who kill. The 13 episode series is centred around 4 felonious puppets who've commited crimes and now live with their bumbling social worker Dan Barlow.

Hume and the CPB often have conflicts with the Assessor's Office (the branch of the government that has sole jurisdiction over crimes related to the Consortium) and with the private security forces of Consortium companies.
Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye
Based on a true story, Sue Thomas:F.B.Eye follows the adventures of Sue Thomas at the FBI in Washington, D.C. She's one hard-headed, soft-hearted woman whose talent for reading lips helps crack crimes and bag the bad guys in places listening devices can't penetrate. With her hearing-ear dog, Levi, Sue's a glutton for jeopardy - and there's (almost) nothing she won't do to bring notorious criminals to justice. This remarkable, edge-of-your-seat drama is an inspiring tribute to the ability of the human spirit to overcome adversity and achieve great things.
Twice in a Lifetime

The judge in question evaluates their life and decides their fate, specifically if they deserve a second chance at their life.

However they are sent back as someone other than themselves but with the full knowledge of their mission of their own redemption. In addition, they only have three days to change that life path. The judge also provides them with a guide, who is also recently deceased but is deemed by God to have a mission of assistance before his final fate is determined. Although always visible to the person he is assisting, the guide has the ability to be seen or not be seen by those around him, his invisibility when he wears the clothes in which he died.

Wiring Question
Hi all,
This isn't so much an electrical wiring question as it is a wiring question in general. (Please forgive me if I post in the wrong place...)
So, here's the situation. I've got a house that was built about 20 years ago. The house is built with the cable coming in to the house in the crawl space. My signal strength has been iffy at best. So, the cable company said that the problem might be that I have RJ45 coaxial cable and that I should upgrade to RJ60.
Doing a bit of poking around, I've found out that the cables have been run through the 2X4 (or whatever the house is built from) and is only wide enough to accommodate the RJ45. So, my initial plan of just attaching the RJ60 to one end of the RJ45 and pulling it all through didn't really work. I have also tried to get a flexible drill bit head, so that I could get behind the wall without damaging it, but the way that the housing for the coaxial is, I can't get a good angle to get the bit head in there.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the cables run from the second floor all the way down into the crawl space? I'd prefer not to cut a hole in the drywall if possible since I've got 4 rooms that I'm going to start the coaxial drop on the second floor. However, I'm willing to do what needs to be done.
Thanks in advance!
You may want to upgrade to RG6 coaxial cable. It has the bandwidth capacity for cable and satellite, so you are kind of future-proofing your installation.
Why not run them outside under a window sill to a high quality weather resistant splitter in the crawlspace?
There are now flat cables for such purposes.
You could always add a small Nema 4 rated J-Box to house the splitter and possibly a powered signal amplifier (not really necessary unless you're going to load it with more than 6 to 8 devices, such as TV's, cable or Satellite Set Top Boxes).
The original one in your crawlspace has probably dry rotted, therefore causing the iffy reception.
RJ45 is not a cable type. It is a connector type. It is the 8 pin connector used for ethernet cables.
I have not idea what rj60 is. RG6 is a coax cable.
I meant to say RG11, not RG6 coaxial cable, as well.
RG11 has less ohms/ft. drop so longer runs are attainable before requiring any inline amplifiers.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
National Review editor Kevin Williamson once again tries to persuade his fellow conservatives that the American government should not have the right to assassinate American citizens:
I am not a lawyer, but it seems clear to me that the state of our law is such that anybody with sufficient legal training can make a reasonably strong-sounding argument for any policy he chooses, and that if his argument is wrong, it is likely to be wrong in ways that are non-obvious....So, set aside the legal questions for a second. The Awlaki case speaks to something even more fundamental than law: Decent nations do not permit their governments to assassinate their own citizens. I am willing to give the intelligence community, the covert-operations guys, and the military proper a pretty free hand when it comes to dealing with dispersed terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda and its affiliates. But citizenship, even when applied to a Grade-A certified rat like Awlaki, presents an important demarcation, a bright-line distinction in our politics.
....If Awlaki were to be killed on a battlefield, I'd shed no tears. But ordering the premeditated, extrajudicial killing of an American citizen in Yemen or Pakistan is no different from ordering the premeditated, extrajudicial killing of an American citizen in New York or Washington or Topeka — American citizens are American citizens, wherever they go. I'm an old-fashioned limited-government guy, and I am not willing to grant Washington the power to assassinate U.S. citizens, even rotten ones.
Actually, I'd like to know if the Obama administration really does believe that it has the authority to assassinate U.S. citizens in Washington or Topeka in the same way it believes it has the authority to assassinate them in Sanaa and Karachi. And if not, why not?
Unfortunately, they've declared the entire thing to be a state secret, so we'll never find out. But as far as any of us are allowed to know, their official stand is that the entire world is a battlefield in the war against terrorism, and therefore killing terrorists is fair game anywhere in the world. Even if Williamson is right that a good lawyer can defend pretty much any proposition, I'd sure like to see the legal justification for that. At a bare minimum, you'd think that in a free democracy we'd all have the right to hear at least that much.

Le Ginepraie is a luxury villa in Tuscany, bed and breakfast and apartments situated on the rolling hills between Volterra and San Gimignano and is a beautiful 17th century casale (traditional Tuscan farmhouse), surrounded by the green and gold of a fascinating countryside.
In panoramic position on a charming knoll with an all-round view, the villa in Tuscany is an ideal place for anyone who loves nature and sport, anyone looking for calm and relaxation, but also for those who want to go in search of art and history, not to mention the local food and wine, a culture in itself.
The private swimming pool and the large garden of the villa are an invitation to relax, read and enjoy the long sunny days, while the surrounding countryside offers many pleasant walks in the midst of nature.
In other words, the villa and bed and breakfast in Volterra is a unique place where to spend a restful holiday whit loved ones in complete relax in fact, for it's feature, it is available for rent as a whole for one or more familes or a group of friends.
The roomy and intercommunicating apartments and bedrooms make it perfect for family groups by allowing the various family groups to have their own area of the villa.
This luxury villa in Tuscany is elegant, warm and welcoming at the same time equipped with all contemporary comforts such as a dishwasher and satellite television, together with traditional features such as ceilings with massive wooden beams and terracotta tiles, fireplaces with baskets of firewood, stone archways and antique chests.
Outside, there is the laundry, as well as an old stone wood-fired oven and barbecue that guests can use. And for those who fancy pony trekking, there is a riding school less than 4 miles away.
The villa's pool, idyllically located on the top of a hill with a magnificent view of the surrounding landscape, is constantly caressed by a pleasant breeze that allows you to sun bathe even on very hot days.
Bed and breakfast Villa Le Ginepraie is located within an ancient hunting reserve so while you relax by the pool it is possible to see hares, deer and pheasants pass by in the neighboring fields and a variety of birds such as hawks, woodpeckers, swallows and a pair of herons who live on the lake just a few meters from the villa.
In the evening you can enjoy a drink by the pool, watch the sun setting behind the hills and watch the fox come down to visit us, as they do every evening, or perhaps even spot an owl.
As the pool is lit up at night you can take a late night swim and admire a spectacular, rather rare starlit sky as the area is totally unpolluted.
The swimming pool of this luxury villa in Tuscany is 6 m wide 12 m long and 2.20 m in depth, open from first of May to end of October and is equipped with comfortable chaises, tables, chairs and umbrellas. The chlorine and ph levels are constantly checked and the water is cleaned daily.
Villa Le Ginepraie is a 17th century farmhouse which has been carefully renovated to maintain its original features. The Villa has two floors. The entrances to the rooms and apartments are from the veranda furnished with a long wooden table. On the ground floor there are 3 bedrooms, 2 with sat TV, 3 bathrooms, a spacious kitchen/dining room and a lounge with a fireplace and sat TV. There is also a terrace with a long table seating 12 where you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and watch the sun set.
An antique stone staircase on the veranda leads to the first floor which comprises 2 lounges with sat TV, 2 kitchens, 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms.
There is a well-equipped laundry room with a washing machine, iron and ironing board.
In the garden, just in front of the veranda, there is the old stone oven where you can bake bread or pizza.

Sat on the promenade area at the port and had a drink while waiting for the ferry which took us back to Trogir. We went back to the same restaurant for dinner as the night before as the food was great and the service from Ivana the waitress was fun.

Locina, Molat
With a break in the rain we decided we needed to move on as need to make Rovinj by next weekend. Very overcast but a good sail up to Molat and once we were through the gap and on the west side of Molat the seas were much calmer. Realising that Locina was no anchoring we headed round for a peaceful night in Podgarbe, a small bay with great shelter and clear ...

... the old town to explore, just a ten minute walk away along the old stone city walls. The city still has several buildings standing that were built in the early to mid Middle Ages, though many have obviously been torn down and rebuilt since then. The old town is closed to cars, and the streets are made of worn, shiny beige stones. As we entered the old town we stumbled upon the remains of a city wall and watchtower on the Square of Five Wells, named very literally because ...

Jesse Boykins III | Prototype 3010, a short film from LightUp Film on Vimeo.
With the smooth sounds added to his conceptual vigor, Jesse Boykins III has become an artist that is highly appealing to the soulful ear. Being recognized for his impact in the music world as a songwriter, singer, and producer, Jesse Boykins III compares to artists like Raheem Devaughn, Eric Roberson, and Bilal. Jesse is currenty touring with his band, The Beauty Created. If he come to your town, you will be surpised at his deliverance. Nonetheless, we guarantee you will be a new fan. Get in tune with his producer side. Check out his latest short film to Prototype3010
In a time where life is often guided by misconception and tainted love its hard to truly find someone who is there for you for all the right reasons. No matter how you deliver your heart to a person, you still have to wait for them to open it up. I came up with this concept to inspire honesty. I've learned through life, communication is everything when you're in a relationship. Take these visuals as an example of how something could be if there is no truth between two parties. She/He is your prototype and could be so much more if you allow it. Never Take The Love Of Your Believer For Granted. Much Thanks to Andre 3000

Christina's Bio
My name is Christina and I am an energetic, bubbly and caring person! I have been caring for children for over ten years, infant to teenager. I have experience with infants up to early teens. I enjoyed childcare so much, that I spent my first two years of college studying early childhood education an special needs. I have since graduated with a degree in a different field, yet caring for and educating children is where my passion lies.
For the last year I have worked at a childcare center in my hometown. I have worked with all age groups, as I started as the preschool teacher and have since transferred to the toddler room as the lead teacher. I have also spent significant time in both the infant and school age rooms.
I believe that you can find a teachable moment in almost every instance, and love to watch as young children learn both with guidance and on their own.

10 years of paid child care experience with:
- First year
- Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
- Preschooler (3 to 5 years)
- Grade School (6 to 11 years)
- Pre-teen/Teenagers (12 years and over)

Maybe we could do different colors for different shade cars (similar to fog light colors)
Black, and WR Blue - pink "F4", silver or white writing
White and silver - pink "F4" or gold "F4", black writing
Red - gold "F4", silver or white writing
Any other colors can be written in or whatever. Just throwing ideas out there. I could probably scrounge up enough extra white, black, and silver (well, grey really) from work that we wouldn't have to buy any. I could probably get some metallic gold as well. The only color that would have to be bought would be the pink.

For decades, hundreds of tattered scrapbooks, faded black-and-white photos and one-room schoolhouse ledgers lay tucked away in the corner of the Quakertown Community High School basement.
Items that may have once been labeled as junk are a new treasure for local historians. A $60 million high school renovation project begins in June, and the basement is first on the list to be gutted. Frank Licapoli of Quakertown has gained permission from district officials to do a little treasure hunting.

Slam Dunk Basketball camp for kids with diabetes will again be hosting a camp here in West Allis! This is a free basketball camp for kids with Type 1 or 2 diabetes ages 5-18. The camp will run from 9 am to noon July 23rd-25th at West Allis Central High School. The Moses E. Cheeks basketball camp is a place where children and teens gain confidence in managing their diabetes. Campers learn how food and exercise are linked with insulin and how sports, illness and stress interact with diabetes. Participants learn that diabetes doesn't have to prevent them from living active, satisfying lives.
So you may be wondering how is this camp run? First each child has a medical form filled out by their endocrinologist for the camp staff. The camp will have 5-8 diabetic educators, nurses, dietitians, or physicians assistants who will assist each child with taking their blood sugar before, during and after the camp. There are medical staff, snacks, water and juice to help with the high or low blood sugars. The camp also has basketball coaches from around the area, some who have played at the college level. They run drills and games while medical staff are also watching the kids for possible lows. There are periodic rest periods where the kids will go to test. This is where the education comes in, when they are testing. Is there sugar high or low? How do you get your blood sugars back up and keep them up. How do you prevent the lows from happening at all? There are also educational opportunities for the parents while the kids are on the court.
More importantly the kids get to also meet other kids living with diabetes. This is often a lonely disease and they may be the only child in their school living with diabetes. This is not a sit down and lecture camp, this is a get out and have fun playing basketball. Kids learn best by doing and no one child reacts the exact same way with exercise. This camp provides a safe, fun way for the kids to play hard and learn how to manage their diabetes.
The camp was founded in 2004 by Monica Joyce in Chicago, IL. There were 4 camps throughout the state of Illinois and in 2012 we had our first camp here in Wisconsin. I worked to get this camp here after my family had such a positive experience at the camp in Rockford Ill. My son Jack was diagnose in 2011 with Type 1 diabetes. While he quickly learned to manage his diabetes, we struggled with sports and especially basketball. He was consistently going dangerously low during games. Unfortunately if your blood goes low you have to follow a 15/15 rule. You take 15 grams of sugar, wait 15 minutes and hope it goes to within normal range. Well, if you miss 15 minutes of a basketball game at that age you just missed half the game. Frustrated, I went online and that's when I found Slam Dunk. He went to the camp the summer of 2012. It was so much fun! He met other kids his age with diabetes and more importantly we learned tips and tricks to keep his blood sugar up. That 2012 basketball season he did not miss a single minute due to a low! I knew we had to get this camp here. Thankfully with the help from the Slam Dunk camp in Chicago, staff from Childrens Hospital, volunteer nurses from West Allis West Milwaukee School district and a grant from Novo Nordisk we were able to bring the camp to West Allis. We had a great time with just over 40 kids in attendance. We had a visit from Bango from the Milwaukee Bucks and Dominique Wilkins!! I am very excited we are able to once again bring this free camp here to West Allis and I am hoping we get over 100 campers this year! You can download the camp application and medical form at slamdunkkids.net! Even if your child doesn't know how to play basketball, they will have fun at this camp!!

Ripoff Report
Ripe Bistro1097 A1A Beach Blvd St Augustine, FL 32080 St. Augustine , Florida USA
Ripe Bistro Jeff Holleran It's all true, poor sanitation, scam menu and rips off employees' pay St. Augustine Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Please know that everything all of the former employees are saying regarding Ripe and Jeff Holleran's treatment of his employees is completely true. At the end of each pay period while at Ripe, the paychecks were ALWAYS incorrect, which given the electronic timekeeping discrepancies was a mystery. Mr. Holleran is notorious for not only shorting employees for hours on each check - he also withholds his server's tips and then shorts them when he runs the tip money through his business. When confronted regarding discrepancies in pay, Mr. Holleran will often become indignent and make statements regarding the working class and their money grubbing.
Further, Mr. Holleran is consistently dishonest regarding the sources where his food is procured. Often organic and locally sourced are neither. Before considering either patronizing this establishment or working for one of Mr. Holleran's restaurants (Stoogies or Ripe), please do check the Better Business Bureau, the review sites (yelp, Trip Advisor, etc.) and also, read the remainder of this thread because the claims made are true.
Unfortunately, Mr. Holleran is petty, deceitful, unprofessional, juvenile and his behavior is dysfunctional at best. He has no concept of how to communicate with others. His egomania seems to stand in the way of his treating anyone he encounters properly.

|FW: [doc]too many building instructions?
|Tue, 17 Oct 2006 11:02:24 GMT
Sorry for confusion, my mailer broke some of the links. Resending: [1] http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/subcomponents/classlibrary/build_cla sslib.html [2] http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/quickhelp_contributors.html [3] and [4] seem to work normally. Thank you, Nadya Morozova -----Original Message----- From: Morozova, Nadezhda [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 1:26 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: [doc]too many building instructions? Folks, I've had a strange impression just now that we have too many building instructions for Harmony sources: [1] http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/subcomponents/classlibrary/build_cla sslib.html Building Class Library only [2] http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/quickhelp_contributors.htm [3] http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/quickhelp_users.html - building instructions for the whole bundle (VM + Classlib), in a short and detailed versions; the detailed version (for contributors) has specifics for building classlib and vm in addition to common steps [4] http://wiki.apache.org/harmony/FrontPage - startup Wiki page that has a link to [1], a placeholder for a future page BuildingHintsForClasslib and VMBuildTroubleshooting. The last two pages seem to have similar intentions - show specifics/typical errors when building code. [5] READMEs for Classlib and for VM, with links to some of the sources above or repetition of these sources. Does this not seem like writing about actually the same thing in many places? My suggestion on improving this would be: 1. Remove [1], migrate unique bits (not repeated elsewhere) to [2] or [3] as fits better. 2. Edit [4] to replace the BuildingInstructions link from [1] to [2], so that instructions for both classlib and vm are retrievable. 3. Place a More Details link at [3] to [2], work to minimize repetition between these. 4. Name BuildingHintsForClasslib and VMBuildTroubleshooting in a similar way to show that they are about the same thing. I am sorry if this all sounds confusing or if I missed/misunderstood some things. Just trying to keep things in a minimal number of places - for easier maintenance and browsing.

Andy and Chuck Golf Tour — For The Fun Of It
Andy and I are often asked about how serious is the Andy and Chuck Summer Golf Tour. In a nutshell, it is all about having a good time and enjoying a great golf course with great company. Isn't that really what it is all about anyway? Keep score only if you want. If you want to take a mulligan…take a mulligan. No one will ever ask us to join any pro golf tour. Why make it any more difficult than it already is. Anyone who has played golf with me knows I tend to "vent" once and a while. I am trying to play well, but…..
With that in mind, you have heard of the PGA, LPGA, etc…. how about the AGA. Alternative Golf Association. Sounds like their thing is a lot like ours. Check out their idea for golf.

Dear Statalisters, I am in the process of summarising my data, and was wondering if anyone knows a way of making a table with the criteria stated in the by command. For example, I need to report a table for each variable with its mean, its std. deviation, min and max, and #obs. per country and year (or per year, depending on the variable). I\'m sure there should be a much better way than loading the log file in excel and taking value by value! Many thanks in advance, Andrea Andrea Molinari PhD in Economics student University of Sussex *

Dry skin can be a real bummer and hot baths can be a major source of scales and flakes even though bathing in the winter is a must for most of us. In order to combat the negative side effects taking a bath can cause it's important to add a moisturizing agent into the water. There are many companies who sell a lotion or a butter for the bath, but today I'm going to teach you how to make your very own bath butter at a fraction of the price.
What you need:
½ cup of cocoa butter
¼ cup of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of jojoba, sweet almond, or olive oil
(Optional – A few drops of the essential oil of your choice)
The first step is to melt the cocoa butter and coconut oil in a double boiler (which is a special pan that can easily be substituted with a glass bowl in a large pot of boiling water). Once the solids are melted and in liquid form it's time to remove from the heat and add the jojoba, sweet almond, or olive oil and the scent you choose. Stir it to combine the ingredients for about 5 minutes or until it starts to cool. You can then pour the mixture into a jar or other container and leave on the counter undisturbed to finish cooling.
Once it's set up you can spoon it out and drop it into your warm bath water. It will melt and moisturize your skin while you soak. You'll want to keep your container somewhere cool and dark so it doesn't melt. You can also use this as a body butter if you desire by massaging it into damp, warm skin and allowing it to melt.
Gift idea – pour it into molds (once it's dry you can remove it and wrap it in cellophane) or gift tins and make small individual bath melts.

This is a trully charming hotel, ideally located and with a relaxed, luxurious feel supported by excellent staff,
Very nice location and beautiful old style building Expensive breakfast if one only wants a light breakfast. A simple continental offers (cafe + Croissant) should be made available for those who stay in the hotel.
Location,helpful staff,bicycles,bar by the pool Lack of dining facilities in the main hotel.High daily parking charges
The balcony on our room was huge. More like a terrace. Lovely The food and drink were very expensive - €24 for breakfast !!
This was a very pleasant experience. Quiet, efficient, friendly + perfect location
the ambiance the swimming pool was crowded. no seat available.
location and interieur service, kindness, restaurant and breakfast service! We would not recommend this hotel for private guests, its more a conference hotel and for events !!!!
Outdoor swimming pool at 30 C, excellent room and breakfasts. Able to walk onto the fantastic beach. Very good bar lunches in beautiful hotel Menu's for evening meals food very rich. But used very good restaurent in centre of La Baule,
Decor and comfort. The staff were attentive and able. Bedroom spacious and well equiped.
The location of the hotel is exellent. Free, good bikes available! The gardens of the hotel were not well maintained and the pavement in the garden was dangerous, uneven and wet/slippery near the bar! Drinks and food in the hotel are expensive.Parking costs 25 euro a day.
The staff is very friendly and competent. Flexible about having children and pet. Great location and great town with very guest friendly people
Hotel looks perfect, nice stuff at the reception and perfect food Horrible stuff at the breakfast, not very good place, far from the city
Food excellent and staff very efficent. Very good location Parking in the hotel carpark should not be charged for
Peaceful hotel with large garden near seafront. Very helpful, efficient and welcoming staff. Quite grand, spacious, comfortable bedroom with a large amount of cupboard space and a large bathroom, with good bathrobes. Plus, windows opened fully - very welcome, as in a quiet area. It was a longish walk to the main restaurant area of La Baule. Unfortunately, the private parking is located 50m away, so a worry for anyone like us who is travelling by motorbike. But staff offered to keep an eye on it when we expressed concerns about security overnight.
The staff were fantastic nd teh hotel very comfortable. We only had the breakfast, which we thought was decidedly average but very expensive. We looked at the dinner menu that seemed extremely expensive
Superb outdoor pool, very good service
excellent staff. leisure facilities
the kindness availability, flexibility and politeness of the staff the evening dress code is a bit tight to my taste but this was a minor inconvenient
Facilities Room was quite small
the association with thalassothérapie the absence of small dishes during the noon period (13-15h)
position of hotel facilities good staff very good would be very helpful if breakfast could be included as part of the room rate as this was good but quite expensive
very good hotel no
Exellent location. Close to beach. Within short walking distance of restaurants and shops. Good pools (indoor and outdoor)and spa. Good service. Room (superior)small. Breakfast buffet choice/service not up to usual Barriere Hotels standards. Did not spoil stay.
the room and location of the hotel
This hotel is very very good, it was the best promotion. The parking is too little, for hotel such size is certanly short.
Location close to beach Staff speaking limited English, breakfast far too expensive
Great position on the sea front, very comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the beach A nice Art Deco theme, with some original bits in the public areas. A fair walk to the centre. Staff attitudes rather lacking; when we checked in no-one asked if we would like to eat in the hotel - if they had we would have booked, but at the time we weren't sure what to do. Later on, when we tried to get a table for dinner, it was fully booked - no-one cared we were resident, just the normal French shrug. No recommendation of where we could go, so we had a wander about until we found somewhere to eat.
The car parking was totally inadequate. No outside bar and limited air conditioning in the communal areas of the hotel. The wc in our bathroom was not attached to the wall.
The room is very clean and comfortable - second time I have stayed at this hotel The food prices are high, although the quality is good. Next time I wil eat out
Was upgraded and had good view
Very helpful and friendly staff. Very nice hotel. No dedicated bar staff on hand. However plenty of bars nearby.
Excellent renovated rooms. Parking space too small for such size hotel - had to park a car on nearby street, where also was very hard to find any free space in the evening.
Proximity to beach and other facilities Possibly the parking - although we found a parking space right outside that was free!
Great location and great views from some rooms. Owner/manager spoke excellent English, friendly and knowledgable about France. Because of a cancellation, upgraded without extra charge to much higher rate room with large terrace and great view. Seemed to be adequate parking for a relatively full house. Even high-rate room was cramped, difficult for people to pass each other anywhere in the room; would have been annoying for a long stay. Euro- style tub bath with no enclosure and no wall mount for the hand-held shower head; difficult to constrain water to tub. Room we would have had has windows on common-use patio for all guests. Value rating above is for room we would have had; I would consider the room we had to be only fair value at its full rate.
In front of the sea, courtesy of staff, excellent breakfast Nothing
nice friendly hotel with beautiful view. good value for money. One thing to bear in mind - they don't have hairdryers.
Really enloyable stay, nicely situated. The english themed bar is no longer there
View & Staff
The hotel was easy to find with good local signage. We had a room with a balcony facing the sea. The view was fantastic! It would be nice to have tea making facilities, but this is quite an English thing for a French hotel!
Beautiful site, right by the sea. First class staff, and a very good room. Pity they do not do dinner! None
Everything,I hate to recommend it. I want to keep it my secret !!! Nothing
We stayed for just one night. Since the hotel was not full at the time, the hotel staff were very kind and offered us a room with sea view though we had booked the cheapest one. The room was very nice and large; en-suite was good; the hotel is very beautiful and very well located, near the beach. Along the coast (and just in front of the hotel) there are many foot paths with gorgeous views; near the hotel a massive WWII bunker can be found (the Blockhaus), which is now a museum. I could find no way to turn off the auto-fan in the en-suite, which made a very annoying sound (specially if one entered the bathroom during night)
The hotel is situated in a very nice area The rooms were dark and dreary, with no view of the sea. Noise from other rooms was very evident. The price for breakfast had increased and did not give value for money
No red wine in hotel at all!
staff i did not see an internet cafe (although i did not ask)
staff is very helpful and kind to noisy inside (bedrooms)
Excellent, friendly, ideal for us as we travel around playing golf Would definitely us this hotel again. Would have liked a 'fridge in the room to store milk for drinks etc.
New and clean, good full breakfast worth the extra cost, very comfortable beds, rooms. Free parking
The hotel is modern, clean, air conditioned, non-smoking, has English TV stations, buffet breakfast, and free parking. King size bed is comfortable. There was no minibar/fridge in the room. Since the hotel is totally non-smoking, there should be a designated smoking area away from the hotel entry door so that people entering the hotel don't have to walk through clouds of smoke.
Staff extremely accommodating and friendly. General facilities, rooms and pool spotless. Nice ambiance. Besides a continental style breakfast there is no catering available. Location a bit isolated.
Modern room with good facilities and good wifi. Within walking distance of Guerande. Easy to park, Firedoor outside the room was very noisy and squeaky. Walls very thin so noisy. Shower floor poorly laid so pools collected in the wet room floor.
very central - well positioned - good view from verandah bed lacked size and comfort - room lacked comfort - no aids to relaxation
In the original advertising on your website - it offered free WiFi service - this is not the case
I was overall very impressed with our stay at Hotel Le Christina it has a perfect location overlooking the beach and close to all amenities with free parking at the rear of the Hotel, All staff were very helpfull . I would certainly recommend this Hotel.
I requested a hotel with a car park,the hotel has 34 rooms and about 6 parking spaces.We had to park on the public road.
Proximity to beach, with sea view bedroom being essential. Excellent breakfast, good value for money. Nothing
The hotel is ideally positioned in the central of the long (9km!) beach and near some very nice restaurants and shopping area. The hotel staff is very nice and helpfull.Even though the hotel has nothing luxurious it is very clean and has absolutely reasonable prices. Nice add on are the balcony. Some parking spaces are available for free! There where no towels available at arrival day. So we received some tiny little towels on both days...
The location of the hotel right at the heart of La Baule I would have liked to have the facility of having access to the internet on a hotel computer since I didn't take a laptop on holiday
Staff very helpful
Holidayed Heating took several days to sort-out
Excellent view of the sea and beach. Not a very comfortable bed.
Staff were very friendly and the hotel was very clean for a budget hotel The hotel is on a busy road which is noisy until late at night
The staff were charming and extremely helpful.The hotel was well situated in the town and only a short walk to the beach. Easy car parking.
Pleasant hotel with secure parking. Helpful staff. Excellent next door but one restaurant was very good for both value and food.
the decoration of reception is pretty nice....the room is tidy and comfortable..what most important is the hotel is near to main commerce street and the Beach
The proprietor was extremely friendly adn we felt very comfortable. No
Excellent location, private secure car park a big bonus as parking difficult in La Baule. Hotel staff friendly and very helpful. Room was airy and well decorated, very comfortable bed and large screen t.v. Bathroom good with lovely walk in shower. Room was quiet and we slept soundly. Breakfast was very good value. Have already booked to go back to this hotel in October.
Spent a pleasant hour or so in the bar with the owners - we talked about various things including our trip using our pigeon French and their pigeon English - a real joy!! None whatsoever
Clean and comftorbale rooms. Room was quite small.
Very helpful staff, very comfortable and clean room and excellent breakfast.
free car park and available
The staff were very helpful. Lovely hotel and the room was very clean. It would be great to have coffee making facilities in the room.
The location was good and the Superior room was very comfortable although small. The hotel is used for functions which means that it is overcrowded at times and guests are not properly catered for.The breakfast selection is quite limited.
oceanfront room extra cost of oceanfront room, charged 20 euro x 2 people x 2 nights for breakfast we did not have
it is a lovely little hotel beautifully decorated and in a great position for the town centre. I would say this hotel would be great for one night or two but no more as the room we had and bathroom was very small. For one night we could cope but would not have enjoyed it for a week. room no 15
The hotel was good but parking during peak holiday time is a nightmare and you can drive around for ever like most other cars looking for a space.
Elegant facilities with tasteful decor, very helpful staff.
Fantastic will go back but will book directly as despite the implication on your site you gave no discount on the rate
The silency in the hotel and rooms The small bathroom - all comfort, but just to small to relax
Good location, interesting room with excellent bathroom facilities. Nice sun roof. Discreet staff. No lift, which might inconvenience elderly guests. Parking no problem in late October, but could be tricky in high season.
The hotel staff were very pleasant, the rooms were comfortable and clean. The hotel was in a good location close to the beach and shopping and eating areas. The restaurant served good value gourmet meals.
The hotel is in an excellent location, the staff is friendly an helpful, and there is free parking right at the building. Though the bed was comfortable, the room was so small as to feel confining and inconvenient. There was little space for unpacking. Also, I prefer a bathroom where all plumbing is in one space; this room had a WC.
The location was excellent, hotel has parking facilities, food and service first class. Nothing
Close to the beach; Rooms are quiet. Small rooms; Hardly any facilities in rooms (only bed + shower, do not expect more); Ham and fruit at breakfast not fresh. Limited choice at breakfast.
the staff at the hotel could not have been more helpful and every effort was made to accommodate our choice of room and guidance on where to eat etc was offered freely - La Baule is a very charming place to stay and this hotel suits the location the plumbing in the newer building on the opposite side of the road was more reliable
