Frequently asked questions
You won't need to. In regular use it will last for over 10 years before it wears out.
Accidents can always happen. For instance, when a car drives over the mat etc. RiZZ can repair the mat for you. Contact us to inquire about costs and lead-time.
It is possible, but we do not recommend it. Let's keep all that dirt outside. Inside you can use the RiZZ indoor doormat, which is the best option to get the moist out.
No, it is designed to use outside (where the rain will do some additional cleaning for you). It will scrape of excess waterdrops. The most practical combination is with a RiZZ indoor dry mat.
In all these years we heard of only a few RiZZ doormats that were stolen. This was usually from a shop where the price label was still attached. The mat is a functional product, flat on the floor. The design is kind of incognito, it will blend in in the surroundings.
Lift the mat on one side. Use a broom to sweep away all the sand. It never stops to amaze how much sand will be under the mat (and not in the house). Occasionally you could use water and a brush to clean the mat itself. A mild detergent or green soap can help.

Can you tell I'm switching seasons here? Moving toward more autumnal & winter themes?
This weeks SCS CAS challenge (CAS136) is Ways to Use It: Leaves. I went with a very CAS design, making my leaf the focal point. I started by stamping this leaf image from "Autumn Splendor" in Early Espresso ink on Very Vanilla cardstock. Then I sponged the center of the leaf in Pumpkin Pie ink & the edges with Cherry Cobbler. I love how life-like it turned out. Instead of simply adhering the leaf to my card base, I curled up some of the edges to give this card a bit more dimension. I also sponged the edges of my card with white craft ink for even more added interest!
Thanks for visiting :)
All supplies SU!
Stamps: Autumn Splendor, Thank You Kindly
Ink: Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler, White Craft Ink
Paper: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Sponges, Linen Thread

I had no idea that Beavis & Butthead worked for Thermidor.
Wow, that was way more suggestive than most modern advertising. Read the text! "…keeps everything warm until you're ready for action." "double the appeal of an exotic dish." Awesome.
p.s. Richard Deacon was gay. He's looking at her like, "Honey, you have no chance."
p.p.s. My wife said "I didn't even realize there was an oven in there."
What's so weird about… OH!
She has large breasts. I get it now.
I set you all a challenge: find me an ad for a cleaning product that doesn't feature a woman in the main role.
Its a shame that these kind of stereotypes still persist today.
Mr. Clean?
#4 – I've always thought of Billy Mays as the hetero version of Mr. Clean, but you can think of him as your stereotype bustin crusader…
@4 Mr. Clean
"I set you all a challenge: find me an ad for a cleaning product that doesn't feature a woman in the main role.
Its a shame that these kind of stereotypes still persist today."
I am sorry. This ad features a gay man staring at a woman drinking a cocktail in an evening gown. what stereotype do you think they are playing on? Why do you assume the woman is in the "main" role? is it "stacked" for her convenience?
I saw this picture somewhere else earlier today and tried to find more on Deacon's career as a microwave gourmet/pitchman. Found a nice article that's accompanied by a scary photo
Here's another one with a better photo
Despite all the persistent "sex sells" marketing that's been around for so long, ads these days never seem so strategically stacked and endowed.
Let's bring back the turtle neck as as fashion item. You go first and I'll live blog it.
What is up with this bustedass comments system? Am I me or am I not me?
Ironic… Richard Deacon was a homosexual.
"Let's bring back the turtle neck as as fashion item.'
2 things:
@4 Also, Brawny.
And, "Wooga?"
my mom has this range in her home.
HOT! I totally have to have one NOW! I wonder why, I mean I don't even need one, and I don't even remember what I'm buying…but I have to have it 😛
It's in Dutch but you'll probably get the drift.
I set you all a challenge: find me an ad for a cleaning product that doesn't feature a woman in the main role.
Its a shame that these kind of stereotypes still persist today.
What stereotype is in evidence in this ad? Also, I believe most cleaning products are still purchased by women, stereotype or not. Also, this isn't an ad for a cleaning product.
/troll success, I guess
"The beauty photographed above, is a total cooking appliance".
I think the fact that I immediately assumed they were talking about the woman means that I've spent too much time on Encyclopedia Dramatica.
I'll bet she is! I'll bet she is! Wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean?
The sexual double-entendres worked until they got to the "browning element". Guh.
@4, the Tidy Bowl Man, Jolly Green Giant, Mr. Whipple (Don't squeeze the Charmin), Captain Gordon!
/this is fun!
Aw crap, two of those were food. But I what about the Maytag repairman? I suppose that's more a device….
The woman is Natalie Wood's sister.
To all the people who are saying Mr. Clean, the Brawny Guy, etc: yeah, but are they actually the ones doing the cleaning? Most of these commercials I see involve the male mascot showing up and handing their awesome products to a woman. Here's an example on YouTube. It's debatable who is in the "main" role, but it is clear who the target of this marketing is, and it ain't the husband (who is usually depicted as an idiot who makes messes or a guy who blithely ignores all of the work his wife is doing and goes around sniffing things; neither gender comes out well here).
See this video by comedian Sarah Haskins for plenty of examples (and watch some of her other videos, too- she's hilarious). This ad for an oven isn't a technically a cleaning product I suppose, but it's still part of the trend of marketing that tries to make domestic drudgery into some kind of delightful romance that women should be excited to partake in. It's not trolling to point out that these products are marketed towards women, because women are still expected to cook for and clean up after their families (Sarah has another video called "Feeding Your F**king Family" which is similarly awesome).
Really, though, the first thing I noticed was how she's sitting/leaning on that chair. Holy crap, that looks uncomfortable. It's a really interesting ad, though.
Oh, and the Maytag repairman? Fixes your laundry machine when it breaks. He doesn't actually do the damn laundry. Man fixing things = gender normative. Find me a commercial where a man is doing the laundry and loading the clothes into the washer, only to have the washer break and overflow. Feeling exasperated, he calls the Maytag Repairwoman and she fixes it, leaving him to do his laundry in bliss. Really, even a commercial where a man's appliance breaks and he calls the Maytag Repairman would be comparitively progressive. The overall theme of these commercials is that women are supposed to do these chores, but still require the help of men in the form of products and appliance repair.
And the man is Allen Brady's brother-in-law.
"I set you all a challenge: find me an ad for a cleaning product that doesn't feature a woman in the main role.
Its a shame that these kind of stereotypes still persist today."
And tool ads are targeted at men. And little boys play with cars and toy dump trucks. And little boys play with dolls. Oh my God! We have gender divisions in our society! Quick, somebody tell somebody!
The golden age of advertising is officially over, apparently.
Must – move – oven – into – livingroom.
I'm going to refer to women as "appliances" from now on.
I'm going to refer to appliances with respect from now on, so I can increase my chances with the ladies.
Does anybody remember "tricky tray" from school days besides me?

Acer Aspire TimelineU M3: Life on the Kepler Vergeby Dustin Sklavos on March 13, 2012 5:56 PM EST
Conclusion: A GeForce and an Acer Both So Close
With the Acer Aspire TimelineU M3, we're really talking about and reviewing two different products: the ultrabook itself and the shiny new NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M. There's a certain poetry to the feeling that these two products are both worthy of the same conclusion: excellent on their own, but both need to be able to stretch their legs.
The GeForce first: without being able to reveal details about Kepler it's difficult to say if the GeForce GT 640M is shader heavy, but it is most definitely memory bandwidth bound. At the M3's low native resolution the 640M is a fantastic GPU that demonstrates a lot of the progress that we want to see; it's not just about being able to play games, it's about being able to play them well, and the 640M does provide next-generation performance in what seems to be the same power envelope as its predecessor. We also continue to see Optimus performing as well as it should. Jarred is big on eventually having GPUs idle so low that we simply don't need this kind of graphics-switching technology, but until that day comes, Optimus remains a stellar value add for end users. This is one place where AMD is lagging woefully behind and needs to get their act together, because right now the 640M is going to be preferable to pretty much any other mainstream mobile GPU in terms of both performance and power consumption.
Meanwhile, the TimelineU M3 has a generally beautiful aesthetic, fantastic battery life, and Acer has finally and truly done away with the floating island keyboard. At just under five pounds I'm sorely tempted to split hairs over its "ultrabook" status, but as far as the dimensions are concerned, this is really the form factor we'd like all mainstream notebooks to eventually hit. There's a convincing case to be made between the M3 and the Dell XPS 15z that notebooks just don't need to be particularly bulky anymore unless they're trying to cool high-end graphics hardware; with Ivy Bridge in the pipe even the CPU side of the equation is less and less likely to need extensive cooling. I'm also a big fan of the inclusion of both an mSATA port and 2.5" drive bay, allowing end users to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, the M3's design trips up in a couple of key places. The touchpad is difficult to use and is one more case against unified touchpads in PCs; it's a bit worse than the Dell XPS 13's was, and I have yet to test one that was anywhere near as convenient as the time-honored touchpad and discrete buttons combination. Having almost all of the ports on the back of the M3 is inconvenient as well; at least one USB port needs to be on a side, along with the headphone jack. While I can't really complain about the inclusion of the DVD+/-RW drive, I'm also not entirely sure how essential it is. I can't remember the last time I've needed the optical drive on my Alienware M17x R3, and I've never missed not having one on my ThinkPad X100e. And finally, the SSD controller built into the mSATA SSD in the M3 is capable of SATA 6Gbps speeds, but the mSATA port limits it to SATA 3Gbps, thus leaving some performance on the table.
With all that said, I remain optimistic. The GeForce GT 640M is a worthy mainstream GPU that improves substantially on its predecessors and one I hope to see wide adoption of, while the Acer Aspire TimelineU M3 is the first Acer notebook I've tested that I ultimately felt pretty positively about. If the M3 can hit a reasonable price point it's going to offer an awful lot of value for the money, and I'm pretty sure we can count on Acer to make that happen. I've been trying to find an inexpensive gaming-ready notebook to recommend to a friend lately without having to dip into Llano territory; if the M3 can hit $800 or lower, it's the one. [Ed: Sorry, but you're not getting a 256GB SSD for under a grand, and even 128GB is asking a lot. In fact, with the discrete GPU and i7 CPU, I'm guessing this particular model with go for closer to $1500. Hopefully we'll see a variant with an i5 but still with the 640M GPU, and maybe a 128GB SSD targeting a price closer to $1000.]

Bols - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - link...to light up the comment panel with frustration over the screen resolution. 768p on an otherwise premium notebook is ridiculous. With a 15" form factor it is a complete disgrace.
Let's hope apple sets the standard with a 2880x1800 macbook soon...and the rest of the world will follow. Reply
Frallan - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - link
Aye for once Im happy that there is an "i-wave" rolling over the world. The new i-pad has waaaay better resolution than this notebook. Its time to shape up or ship out for the companies that keep cramming crap screens into otherwise decent hardware.
Was a very interesting aticle though especially as it seems as if there are going to be new mobile chips coming from nVidia soon and AMD will have to follow.
/F Reply
damianrobertjones - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - link"The new i-pad has waaaay better resolution than this notebook."
OMG! Have you truly been taken in by the marketing? Yep. That high resolution ipad has increased DPI which means it might as well be 1280x720 when you actually want 'working' space. Reply
Confusador - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - linkAgreed wholeheartedly, though it's worth noting that this machine can't even keep up with its direct competitors. I don't know what it's going to take to get typical buyers to care about this, but maybe Apple ca do it. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - linkIt's wholly acceptable on an 11-12" format, borderline unacceptable in a 13.3" chassis, and ridiculous to have 1366x768 on a 15.6" format. No other way to put it. Reply
kkwst2 - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - linkI would argue that the new iPad has proven that it is completely unacceptable even in a 10-12" format. If a $500 iPad can have a high quality, high resolution screen, there is no reason a $2000+ high end ultraportable notebook cannot. I'm talking to you, Lenovo. Reply
noeldillabough - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - linkI have to agree with you, while I LOVE my X220, the 768p screen is a sore spot. Its beautiful, IPS clear etc, but not enough pixels.
Next machine will be a high res 12" laptop with an ivy bridge and HD4000 graphics (discrete graphics cards on laptops are on their way out) Reply
kkwst2 - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - linkYes, it is actually what keeps me in the T series rather than the X series. While the X panels are much higher quality, I can't work effectively with the pixel count.
Hoping for over 1000 vertical pixels in an X series notebook within a year. Reply
JojoKracko - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - linkI'd second this, but I'd be talking to Alienware, whatever fool is still putting glossy crap screens in the new Asus G75, and MSI as well.
A $1500 or more gaming laptop SHOULD REALLY HAVE A GOOD SCREEN when the top quality parts only add $100 to the total price.
Make it a frickin' option at least and see what kind of response you get. And I mean a REAL OPTION. Allow it to be added to the BASE MODEL, not ONLY TO THE $2500 version. Yeah, I'm talking to you fAlienware!!!
fAlienware LOL. WHY have I not seen it written like this before?!? Reply
kmmatney - Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - linkHell - my old 15" laptop from 2005 had a 1280 x 800 screen. I'd take the extra 34 pixels over this 768p crap. Reply

Clinton in 1996 (Commentary)
The preceding post contains the text of President Clinton's December 1996 fireside chat on welfare reform. I have highlighted two of its most impressive features.
First, it is a collection of Republican talking points, talking about the "cycle of dependency", "trapped lives", and "the chance to work".
Even more amazingly, it is shot through with exhortations to communities, companies, and churches [sic] to rise to their "moral obligation" to give opportunities to those thus freed.
Imagine a conservative Republican attempting to give this speech. Imagine the cynicism which would greet this sentence:
We had a choice: we could have gone on as we had with a system that was failing, or start anew; to create a system that could give everyone who's able-bodied a chance to work and a chance to be independent.As if welfare reform were motivated by the best interests of the recipients!
Imagine the derision at this:
But we have a moral obligation to do that through welfare reform, working together in our communities, our businesses, our churches and our schools. Every organization which employs people should consider hiring someone off welfare, and every state ought to give those organizations the incentives to do so, so that we can help families reclaim the right to know they can take care of themselves and their own obligations.Having sloughed off its own duty to help the poor, he then attempts to place that duty on private individuals and companies. As if they wouldn't eagerly follow the government's heartless example!
Clinton, though, could say those things. By hating him so irrationally and vocally, the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy obliged the left to defend him, insulating him from any attack from that side and leaving him free to triangulate. Like a master sailor in a steady headwind, Clinton let his enemies propel him.

Well, I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen
To that tenor saxophone calling me home
And I can hear the band begin "When the Saints Go Marching In",
And by the whiskers on my chin, New Orleans, I'll be there
I'll drink you under the table, be red-nosed, go for walks,
The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice
And wear the dress I like so well, and meet me at the old saloon,
Make sure that there's a Dixie moon, New Orleans, I'll be there
And deal the cards roll the dice, if it ain't that old Chuck E. Weiss,
And Claiborne Avenue, me and you Sam Jones and all
And I wish I was in New Orleans, 'cause I can see it in my dreams,
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me
New Orleans, I'll be there

In my "In Box" • Traded Phoenix Cups for an iPod
"What's in the box?"
I've named it my Doom box. The wife thinks I'm retarded. Thanks for the awesome trade, enjoy the Ipod!
I read on your blog about your latest trip to the Castle. Lisa Cousins was our IBM Pres in Albuquerque when I was stationed there 8 years ago. She had a pretty sweet linking rings routine. Small world.
Take care.
In my "In Box"
My name is Jerome Finley and I'm a performer and creator working out of Salt Lake City, Utah and currently relocating to Las Vegas. I got your email from Tony Iacoviello, I hope you don't mind!
I'm contacting you today asking for assistance in crediting this bit of business with three cards (give me the TWO cards that are NOT yours).
Years ago I created an ungaffed, progressive, 5 phase ESP card test. I used this 3 card test in the third phase (when only 3 cards are left). I learned it from Paul Vigil who got Ian Rowland with it a few years back. I was told it was Sal Piacente's and contacted Sal for permission and credits because I wanted to publish my routine. Sadly I could never get in touch with Sal and didn't ever hear back from him.
Not a lot of people know this piece of work, so when I saw your performance on video I thought I may have found a person who can help;)
I'm happy to send you my routine if you wish to see it. It's quite good and hopefully I can finally get to the bottom of this.
I trust all is well in your world and that your day is a beautiful one. I look forward to hearing back from you when time permits.
All my best,

Shawn & Denise Greer Visit to the Magic Castle
Last night we dined at the famed Magic Castle in Hollywood. We enjoyed a tasty meal, had a couple of cocktails and took in the evening. Martin Nash was there and we talked to him for a bit. Also there, Jon Armstrong a Castle regular. We chatted mostly about Batman. As it happens were both huge fans of the comic books and very excited about the new movie.
After dinner (by the way, thanks again Shawn & Denise), we took in the show in the Palace of Mystery. On the bill were Rob Zebrecky, Tina Lenart & Arden James. Good show, well balanced and a lot of fun. We wanted to see the Luke Jermay show in the Parlor but got shut out. Pretty good crowd there for a Monday night. Instead we headed down to the magical arts library to visit with Billy Goodwin. We did a card trick round robin where I did this trick. I've been playing with lately. It's an old Harry Lorayne effect from his book Quantum Leaps.
Lisa Cousins showed up. She just moved here from New Mexico to shack up with Billy. They got a place a block away from the Castle. A lot of love in that room, Polly & Me, Shawn & Denise , Billy & Lisa. A fucking spooge fest if you ask me. I got to tell you, love is GREAT and being around people in love. . . at the Magic Castle. . . a real treat. It's nice to have friends.

Why Buy from Accurate?
A brief history: In 1997, Accurate Automotive opened as a shop, specializing exclusively in the repair and maintenance of Honda and Acura automobiles. The reason for specializing is because all of the members of the technical staff are former Honda and Acura franchised dealership technicians. In 2004, after moving into their new facility, they expanded their business to include the sales department that specializes in Honda and Acura automobiles.
Now for the reasons:
1. All of their inventory is selected by one of their technicians
* Most off of lease programs with American Honda Financial Co.
2. Most of the inventory is from southern states (FL, GA, TN, NC, SC)
* Avoiding undercarriage corrosion resulting from exposure to road salt and severe winter weather driving.
3. Prior to marketing, inventory units are fully serviced with all components / systems working properly.
4. Finally, all units are meticulously detailed inside and out prior to marketing
- Vehicle pricing does not include applicable sales tax, registration, or dealer processing fee.
- A Buyers Order (which shows an out-the-door total) can be requested and obtained, by all potential car buyers, without obligation to purchase.
- For an accurate Buyers Order, we will need potential buyers full name, address, contact information and the lender (if applicable) that will be financing the vehicle.

Here's a taste:
Skeptics of the lawsuit, which is expected to be authorized by the full House next week, argue that such congressional lawsuits — to date, mostly initiated by Democrats — usually fail because of a lack of standing.However, there is a simple reason most of these suits have failed: To assert an institutional injury to the House or Senate, courts want proof that the chamber, as an institution — and not a rump group of legislators — believes it has been injured. . . .When legislators do represent their institution's views, however, courts have granted standing. In 1939's Coleman v. Miller, the Supreme Court granted standing to 21 Kansas senators who had sued the state's lieutenant governor over his tiebreaking vote in support of a constitutional amendment, which the senators argued nullified the legislative will of the Senate. The court agreed that the Senate had suffered an institutional injury. Significantly, the senators — a majority of the chamber — unequivocally represented their chamber's institutional position. . . .In numerous other cases, federal courts have recognized a single chamber's standing to assert institutional injury caused by the executive's refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas. In these cases, the chamber passed a resolution authorizing litigation to vindicate its institutional injury, which was described as a nullification of chamber's investigatory power.As the Supreme Court made clear in Eastland v. U.S. Servicemen's Fund in 1975, subpoenas are "inherent in the power to make laws" and an "integral part of the lawmaking process." A failure to comply with a chamber's subpoena, in other words, is an injury to the lawmaking power of the chamber itself. The institutional injury caused by executive nullification of a subpoena is far less than that caused by executive nullification of a law. If ignoring a congressional subpoena is sufficient to establish legislative standing, ignoring a law should be more than sufficient as well.
Professor Foley elaborated on these points at a recent congressional hearing. She was not alone, however. GWU law professor Jonathan Turley also testified in support of the suit, while former DOJ official Walter Dellinger and Simon Lazarus testified against it.
Portions of Dellinger's testimony, in particular, are worth considering:
The House of Representatives lacks authority to bring such a suit. Because neither the Speaker nor even the House of Representatives has a legal concrete, particular and personal stake in the outcome of the proposed lawsuits, federal courts would have no authority to entertain such actions. Passage of the proposed resolution does nothing to change that. If federal judges were to undertake to entertain suits brought by the legislature against the President or other federal officers for failing to administer statutes as the House desires, the result would be an unprecedented aggrandizement of the political power of the judiciary. Such a radical liberalization of the role of unelected judges in matters previously entrusted to the elected branches of government should be rejected. . . .the central inquiry is whether the Speaker or the House has suffered a personal injury in fact, and the absence of political means for the House to address that disagreement
cannot somehow create that injury. So there is no reason to think that satisfaction of this criterion would justify litigation. But it is not satisfied. Congress has ample political remedies if it disagrees with the President's implementation of a law. . . .In addressing the question before the House, history should be your guide. In Raines v. Byrd, the Court emphasized the absence of any history of judicial resolution of disputes between Congress and the Executive Branch brought by one of the branches against the other. See 521 U.S. at 826–28. That historical silence speaks volumes. The legal issue here is nowhere near the magnitude of those that have never been thought proper for triggering litigation by the President against Congress or Congress against the President.
A final note. Lawsuits by legislators against the president are nothing new. Many of the same Democrats attacking Speaker Boehner's initiative happily joined all sorts of lawsuits challenging prior administrations. Some even sued Vice President Biden for failing to put an end to filibusters. What is potentially different here is that the House is seeking to challenge executive action as an institution. The interesting legal question is whether this is enough to make a difference. I'm skeptical, but it will be interesting to watch.
UPDATE: Speaker John Boehner makes the case in USA Today.

Mushi joins Zenith
We last saw Mushi in SMM 2012 with an attempt to test their old mettle in WC3 Dota. But the gauntlet was ended swiftly by the stalwart Filipino teams. After the event, fans were waiting in excitement for his next couple of matches in Dota 2. However, he had not showed up in the recent months with Orange's active Dota 2 team.
Suddenly, news struck the Dota 2 community about Mushi's resolve. It seems like that he has teamed up with Singaporean powerhouse, Zenith.
Despite this union, Zenith still lacks one member as both LuX and K-I-N-G have left the team. Zenith is expected to announce their fifth member soon.

The body of Backroad Anthem lead vocalist Craig Strickland was recovered Monday (Jan. 4) on a reservoir in northern Oklahoma, according to KFSM-TV in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the body was discovered in Bear Creek Cove on Kaw Lake, the TV station reports.
Strickland. 29, and his friend Chase Morland, 22, had been missing since Dec. 27 after a winter storm hit the area while the two were duck hunting on the lake.
Before embarking on the trip, Morland tweeted, "In case we don't come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm."
Morland's body and their capsized boat were found Monday (Dec. 28).
Strickland's wife Helen, who had been providing updates via social media, confirmed the latest news in a Twitter post.
#CraigStrickland was found today. He is safe with his Father in Heaven. Thank you Lord for leading us to him today. I will praise you, Amen.

Chicken Dum Biryani is cooked with basmati rice and chicken and is named as dum biryani because it is cooked on low heat (dum) to get all flavours oozed out of spices into rice and chicken. Dum Biryanis were originally made in the kitchens of Mughal Emperors, so mainly considered as a part of Andhra region of India (Hyderabadi cuisine) and no wonder that Hyderabadi biryanis are world famous biryanis. I totally relish the taste of a good biryani, and I was introduced and pampered to the taste of authentic biriyani by two of my very close friends and then I tried out their recipe with fusion of my own learnings. Continue reading for step by step recipe of this chicken dum biryani.
Preparation Time : 30 mins
Cooking Time : 1.5 – 2 hours
Marination Time : overnight
Serving : 12 to 15
I do hope that I am able to do justice to biriyani with this recipe. The cool part in making dum biryani is, when you are dumming the biryani, your house will be full of wonderful aroma, and when you open the biryani it smell like heaven which gives you a feeling which can't be described in words.
I am giving out the detailed recipe, however you may decide to change it to your needs, especially the marination time.
The whole process is broken down into multiple stages: Preparing Marinade, marinating, cooking chicken, preparing rice, layering and slow cooking.
For Marination:
- Chicken – 1.5 kg with bone
- Yogurt – 2 tablespoon
- Ginger Garlic Paste – 3 tablespoon
- Onion – 2 medium sized
- Red Chilli Powder – 1.5 teaspoon (adjust according to taste)
- Coriander Powder – 1 tablespoon
- Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon
- Biryani Masala – 1.5 tablespoon (you can use any brand biryani masala, in my case i used Shan biryani masala.)
- Salt – 1 teaspoon or as per your taste
- Coriander leaves – 1/2 cup chopped finely
- Mint Leaves – 1/3 cup chopped finely
- Green Chillies – 2-3(Optional)
- Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon
- Cardamom powder – 1 teaspoon
- Oil – 3/4 cup
For Rice preparation:
- Basmati Rice – 1 kg (You can use other rice as well, however for best results please use basmati/ long grain rice)
- Bay leaves – 3-4
- Cloves – 4-5
- Whole black pepper – 7-8
- Star Anise seeds – 2-3
- Black Cardamom / Badi elaichi – 3-4
- Salt – 1.5 teaspoon
- Oil – 3 tablespoon
- Turmeric powder – 1teaspoon
- Orange food colour – 1 teaspoon
For layering of biryani
- Onion – 2 large thinly sliced
- Saffron – few strands
- Warm Milk – 1/4 cup
- Coriander leaves – 1/4 cup finely chopped
- Mint Leaves – 1/3 cup finely chopped
- Clarified butter / Desi ghee – 1 tablespoon
- Kewra water – 2 tablespoon
- Cashew : 10 split (optional)
Marination: First of all thinly slice the onion from marination ingredients (listed above) and deep fry them in the oil, taking them out on a kitchen towel. Wash the chicken thoroughly and keep aside. Take a mixing bowl and add all the ingredients from marination category listed above. Crush those fried onions with the help of your hand and mix it in the marination. Add remaining oil (left after frying onion) to the bowl and add chicken and mix it with the marination properly and cover the bowl with cling film and keep in the refrigerator overnight. (You can do it for shorter duration, however longer you keep it, better the taste).
Wash and soak basmati rice for an hour. Soak saffron strands in the warm milk and deep fry those onion which are listed in layering ingredients.
Cooking Chicken: Take a kadhai / pan and keep it on medium flame. Transfer the marinated chicken to this kadhai and add 1.5 cup of water. Cover it with lid and let it cook for 10 minutes. You can also cook chicken in the same pot in which you are planning to make biryani. After 10 minutes, check the chicken. If it is little soft and tender switch off the flame otherwise cook for another few minutes.
Preparing Rice: Now lets start boiling rice. I divided rice in three parts (colors: Yellow, Orange and White) driven purely by my desire to make my biriyani little colorful. Based on your choice, you can colour rice in different colour or you can make biryani with white rice only. I made orange colour rice with edible orange food colour, yellow colour rice with turmeric and plain white rice. Similarly I divided all the whole spices for rice preparation in three parts.
To make yellow rice: Take 4 cups of water and bring to boil, add little salt. now add in one part of drained (already soaked) rice, turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon oil and one part of whole spices and cook it for 5 to 7 mins till rice are 90 percent done. Drain the rice and keep aside. Yellow colour rice are ready now. Similarly make orange colour rice and white plain rice.
Layering the Biryani: first of all grease the Biryani pot with 1 tablespoon ghee and transfer the chicken to it. Now spread yellow rice over it and top it with fried onions, chopped coriander and mint leaves, saffron milk. Now spread Orange colour rice and top it again with fried onions, chopped mint and coriander leaves and saffron milk. Now spread white rice over it and finish layering by topping it with the rest of fried onions, chopped mint, cashews and coriander and saffron milk. Add kewra water to it. Cover the entire pot with foil or tea towel and cover with lid. Place it on medium flame for 5-7 minutes and then let it cook on a very very low flame for 35 to 40 minutes.
Now remove the tea towel,lid and fluff the rice carefully.
Serve Hot and enjoy with Onion Raita.
Key Notes:
- Soaking rice and marinating chicken is very important, so never skip it. if you can't marinate chicken overnight then do it for atleast 3 hours otherwise biryani will not come out perfect. Also, always use good quality basmati rice for biryani. I use grand tilda biryani special rice.
- Cooking rice perfectly is also very important. If you over cook it, then the rice will stick to each other and it will result in mushy Biryani. So always check the rice once they start boiling. It takes around 5-6 minutes to get them cooked after putting them in boiling water.
- It would be useful if you use a big wide open pan or handi to make Biryani as it would be easier to do layering in it and when you take the biryani out from pot to serve, you can easily reach to the bottom with a single scoop.

Connections to Florida Standards
Holocaust Lesson Plans Aligned to Florida Standards
As educators sitting in a Holocaust education workshop, seeking to increase understanding, improve instruction and build a student knowledge base, a proverbial question, perhaps phrased a bit differently each time, is inevitably asked, "How do I teach this important history and teach to the standards?" This is a valid questions and one that needs to be answered. With the transition to Florida Standards to, a new door has been opened for the classroom teacher. Florida Standards shift the focus of instruction and student learning from "filling in the blank to get the correct answer" to higher-level comprehension, reading and critical thinking skills. Additionally, there is an even greater emphasis on informational text, the use of technology and digital media, as well as learning about and understanding other perspectives and cultures. The Holocaust and the events surrounding this significant time in history are necessary topics of instruction. There will be flexibility in the pedagogy allowing teachers to use the Holocaust as a vehicle/theme to teach Florida's mandated standards/skills. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has published historically accurate lessons for grades 7-12, meeting the requirement of addressing 21st Century Skills. Lesson plans are also available at www.cpalms.org

Ruffian's designers are a lot like the line itself - rakish, clever, sartorially skeptical, and rebellious in a refined way. Brian Wolk and Claude Morais were in town last night to show their Spring 2011 collection for the first time since it's New York debut at Lincoln Center. The self-professed Dallas-lovers were lovely enough to share a few minutes and a vodka tonic with us before the event.
Feelings on showing this collection at last month's Fashion Week?
BW: "The 'Frontline' collection - as we like to call it - was all about women like Susan Travers. She was the first woman to ever serve for the French Foreign Legion, and she drove an ambulance, had affairs, and was an original and a rebel. Just like a Ruffian girl! We opened the week which was cool, stressful, and exciting."
CM: I liked that the show pushed the idea of the pureness and importance of our specific textiles. That's what makes us different.
Anything from your Spring 2011 that you predict Dallas will adore?
CM: My favorite is the sheer, cap-sleeve dress that's cut satin made to look like camouflage; it's so gorgeous and sexy. All the boyfriends and men who've seen it love it on a woman."
BW: "High and low luxury is what we do, and on the high-side I think I could see the gold leather trench on our Dallas' girls, definitely. And there's a white, cotton dress that's really simple but that I'd like for Dallas."
Your Fall 2010 is currently on racks here at Stanley Korshak, what can we expect to find?
BW: "This collection was called 'Big Bang' for a reason; it's all about astrology, the universe, the stars."
CM: "We loved the idea of never-ending possibilities, and one of my favorite ideas that we incorporated was having our names worked into the lining fabric of the pieces, woven into the astrological signs that we fall under that are part of the printed silk."
What are your signs anyway?
BW: "Sag."
CM: "I'm a Capricorn."
So, Brian must have a birthday coming up then?
BW: "Yes! It's on December 2nd."
CM: "We're going to Paris because his birthday is also our anniversary, which is December 4th. The day we met. We always try to go to Paris for that time, but it's even more important this year because it's our tenth."
You've been real-life partners longer than you've even been business partners - Ruffian started in 2004. Who takes the lead, design-wise?
BW: "We both do everything. Seriously. It's completely collaborative."
CM: "Yes, that's true. I take his sketches and add-on, and we always tell each other what we'd change, what to we like, don't like."
That's pretty unusual for design teams, ever fight over creative differences?
CM: "Not really, actually over the clothes."
BW: "We fight all the time! But not really over work, more about stupid things like where we want to go to dinner. But I think you need conflict to keep the sparks alive, you know?"
Any one else's collections for Spring 2011 inspire you?
BW: "Hermes, just an unbelievably classic, stunning show to see."
CM: "Yes, Hermes was my favorite for sure. I also liked what Vuitton did that was very Asian-influenced."
You're on the road all the time, any favorite cities, hotels, shops?
CM: "Sunset Tower in Los Angeles; I want to move in there! I could live there. It's my absolute favorite, and Los Angeles is one of the best cities.
BW: And Paris, so much about Paris.
CM: I always shop at Kiliwatch in Paris. And in New York I shop at Amarcord.
BW: And the Paris Flea Market too."
What are your favorite Dallas spots?
BW: We always, always go to Manny's; we love it! And the vintage stores for clothes and antiques up and down Fairmount we always try to go."
CM: "Sammy's too, for lunch."
Staples that always make it into your travel wardrobe?
CM: "Skinny ties, white shirts, and one of my vintage Harley-Davidson tees that I buy all over. And pea coats when it's cold where we go."
BW: "Black, skinny Levi's. And hoodies."
Where is home for you originally and now?
BW: "I'm a New Yorker and still am. We live in Williamsburg."
CM: "Montreal; that's why the accent."
You designed your first menswear collection ever for Macy's this year. Are you wearing the pieces yourselves and how did that happen since you're famous for your women's collections?
BW: "Yes, the grey jacket I have on is our Threads and Heirs line for Macy's! It's more casual, the price point is accessible. Macy's approached us about this, and I'm so happy we took the menswear leap."
CM: "We designed a line of ties for Barney's once, before Ruffian even was around. So, I think Macy's knew we could do it well."
And as if you weren't busy enough, you're still working with Anthropologie for apparel and home?
BW: "Oh my god, the sheets we did for them. We found a box of love letters in the flea market in Paris, and we turned them into a cotton fabric for the sheets. So, you're literally sleeping in love."
CM: "Mise en Scene (the label's name in-store) is arriving now to the stores, and new things will keep coming through November. We love that our designs can be worn by so many more people now through Anthropologie."
What else is knew for Ruffian in the future?
BW: "Well, a new project, but it's under wraps at the moment. We won't be making announcements until February, but it will be crazy and totally different for us."
Hmmm, any hints about the new gig for your fashionable fans?
CM: "Who says it's fashion related?"
BW: "There's a big hint for you!"
You're working to reach a bigger audience with your work, are you social media junkies?
BW: "No! We just now got a Facebook page. But we don't love it."
CM: "We do Facebook, but barely."
BW: "But we are doing something cool with Lookbooks.com soon! Like, it may be launches tomorrow, but I'm not sure. We are doing a contest for the best Ruffian looks sent in by readers. Winners gets a pair of commissioned, Manolo Blahnik designed shoes that went down our Spring runway."
You had drinks recently with Lady Gaga after a New York concert; do you worship her like many designers do?
BW: "Well, I do like her, but she's not Madonna. Not yet, anyway. Let's see what she's doing in 10 years and then maybe."
CM: "Her concert was fabulous. She is really so, so nice and down-to-earth. We even got to meet he parents."
She's a fashion risk-taker; are you two anything like that? Can you recall something you've worn that you'd rather forget?
BW: "Mostly bad haircuts."
CM: "Not really, but maybe the experimental, Japanese things I wore in the late 80's. But I was a teenager!"
Wolk and Morais are in town until Saturday; their trunk show will be available at Stanley Korshak until then. Ruffian's Fall collection is on racks now at the store. You can also shop some of their thrown-together glam looks at Anthropologie and Macy's or purchase their book -- Ruffian: Inside Out -- at major book retailers everywhere.

Finding a hotel room is easy: simply go on the Internet, or use your smartphone and voilá! You're booked. But if you are only interested in new hotels, then that's a different story. Luckily, you have us. And we're obsessed with new hotels. Here's a list of hotels that have opened – or are opening – this month.
Know of a hotel we missed? Send it to us.
Going away to the Hamptons for the weekend is soo early 2000s. Which is why you should eschew the party scene for a quieter time in Hudson, New York, which is not quite all the way upstate, but close. New on the hotel scene there is The Wick, a 55-room Tribute Portfolio hotel that was built out of an old candle-making factory. Each room features a mix of old (high ceilings and original wood floors) and new (interactive TVs), with subtle references to its candle-making past. The hotel is just a block from the Amtrak Station, but it also has several electric car plugs should you plan to roadtrip.

Brandi Disterheft - March 29, 8 p.m., L'Astral - Not content with showers of praise from Oscar Peterson, brilliant opening slots for Diana Krall, Dave Brubeck and Herbie Hancock and winning a Juno, the young double bassist and composer of the moment caused quite the commotion at the Festival last summer and was named 2009-2010 Révélation Radio-Canada Musique! Naturally, we'll be thrilled to welcome the Vancouver native back to L'Astral, with pieces from Second Side, her latest CD, ranked among the 10 best albums of the year in any genre by the Globe and Mail. Hers is a remarkably refreshing jazz-pop that is truly in its element onstage!
Charlie HunterApril 21, 8 p.m. - He was part of the Guitarissimo series during last summer's MontrealGuitar Show: in other words, welcome to virtuosity! After amazing fans with his 8-string bass/guitar hybrid, he returned to a simple" 7-string on his new album, Public Domain-a self-explanatory selection of public domain" pieces chosen by his 100-year-old grandfather. Immediately preceding that, this talented and eclectic innovator, raised on old blues and soul numbers, will treat us to a duet performance featuring drummer Terence Higgins of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band!
Sophie Hunger - April 29, 8 p.m., L'Astral - Her debut album, Monday's Ghost (certified gold in her native country), propelled the Swiss singer to the top of the European charts in 2008. The 2010 follow-up, 1983, a fusion of folk, jazz and blues, is even more ravishing, but it is her live presence that sets tongues wagging-look no further than her first visit to Festival, last summer. Hunger is one of those special artists with a mysterious command of the stage, bewitching us and leaving us wanting more, more, more. A stunning voice, a soul full of blues and a rare, wondrous talent with attitude... We just had to invite her back! Better yet, she'll showcase new songs from her forthcoming album...
Ibrahim MaaloufMay 7, 8 p.m., L'AstralTrumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf had been known mainly foraccompanying other artists until he launched Diasporas in 2007, a debut album that immediately put him on the map. Two years later, his second release, Diachronism, was an ambitious project allying nu-jazz, roots, world and electronica in sublime musical moments, embodying the multiple identities and contradictions cherished by the gifted Franco-Lebanese artist. After having crept among our favourites in his first visit to the Festival last year, he returns in a more intimate format, a duet with pianist Frank Woeste.

Do you want to cut your dog's grooming time in half The BendiBrush Bendable Dog Brush in the perfect tool for you. This dog brush is groomer designed to help you and your dog have a positive experience while grooming.
The BendiBrush Story
The BendiBrush was created by 3 friends who started the company Anipure Pet Products. One of the friends was facing a challenge when grooming their dog, Charlie. Charlie was not comfortable during grooming time. In fact, he didn't like it at all.
To solve this problem, they realized that they had to design a brush that would conform to the dog's body and mimic the movement of petting a dog. This is how the BendiBrush came to life. Now Charlie, his owners, and dog owners all over are using this product to finally enjoy grooming time.
How it Works
The BendiBrush Dog Brush is designed keeping the dog's body in mind. The brush is flat to mimic the strokes of petting, keeping your dog as comfortable as possible. To remove excess hair, dirt, and dander rub flat across the surface of your dog.
Since the brush is flexible, you can bend the brush around the contours of your dog's body. Also, the corners of the brush bend to reach sensitive areas. The multiple sizes of the strong and flexible bristles ensure that all of the tangles will come out.
Not only will it de-shed and de-tangle your dog, but the BendiBrush even removes excess undercoat. If you use the brush daily to groom your pup, it will prevent matting and stimulate oils for a naturally healthy, shiny coat.
Fun for the Dog Too
While you are brushing your dog, they will be getting a massage from the brush at the same time. Your dog will love the petting motion and not even realize that you are getting tangles out! Grooming time will turn into your dog's favorite time of the day.
How to Clean
Run the brush under soap and water to clean the hair out. (If you wet the brush before brushing your pup, it will pick up the finer hair much easier!)

Vasco Duarte talks about #NoEstimates. This video is from the Agile Croatia Conference in 2014. You will find out how to use the concepts of #NoEstimates, how to work on software projects without using too much time on requirements engineering, and especially on estimations.
This 3-day advanced workshop is aimed to improve the knowledge of experienced programmers on how to evolve a software system. It is a practical workshop, with coding exercises and discussions around design options.
Evolutionary Design is the practice of growing a system in a natural way, by adding the minimum amount of code to satisfy the business needs in an iterative and incremental approach. When done right, the code structure changes continuously to optimize for change, thus allowing a constant speed of development for longer periods of time.

All I needed was to be able to receive multiple files sent via Bluetooth from my phone to my computer. At first, this seemed easy, but after running the Bluetooth receive files wizard in Windows I realized that it was not capable of receiving multiple files without restarting the wizard for each file. So I searched around a bit (unfortunately quite a big bit), but at last I found FMA (2.1 beta 3).
It's not perfect, but I can at least get my images from my phone now.
If you have any other recommendations for good Bluetooth programs, please post comments!
Update 1: I just found the program MyPhoneExplorer. It seems even better!
Update 2: I have tried MyPhoneExplorer more now and it is a good program. Try it out! I attach a screen shot from the calendar view below.

|This is the view up the valley of Quinta da Ombria old castle
Algarve Destination Guide - Nature, Environment and Wonders of the Algarve: Parks, Viewpoints, Beaches and unknown heritage of the Algarve
Loulé Tourist Guide - Nature, Environment and Natural Wonders of Lakes Parks, Viewpoints, Beaches, Lakes and unknown heritage
The Project Quinta da Ombria Castle Tôr Querença Loulé Golfe Corses Resorts SPA Hotels
A project of 200 million to develop in the next ten years and is focusing on the health tourism and the environment will be born in the municipality of Loulé. Quinta da Ombria has Finnish capital, but will enhance the economic development of towns where it is. The golf course will be an ex-libris for the show allowed the obstacles created by the water.
The touristic project, Quinta da Ombria estate, located in the parishes of Tôr and Querença, in the municipality of Loulé, Algarve, reflects the vision development and integration with local populations of its sponsor, the Finnish Ilpo Kokkila.
The project of 200 million to develop a total of 180 hectares (you have up to 1785 beds) has undergone changes over the last ten years but it seems that the ultimate licenses and changes will be approved soon and phase of infrastructure will begin later this winter.
Leading the project in Portugal is the former chairman of the Tourist Region of the Algarve, Hélder Martins, who has managed to bring the project to a new segment of foreign tourism, which prefers the interior of the Algarve, staying in touch with nature, have offered of walking trails, bird-watching, ecological gardens, regional products, while enjoying a five-star hotel with spa, club house, restaurants and golf course of average difficulty.
|This is the view of what one day will be the Quinta da Ombria golf course. This is the view up the valley ( from the first tee ? ) from the old castle
Grounding and the county is crucial in developing this project. Statements by the chairman of the board Group Points (holding company that owns the property), Ilpo Kokkila, alongside the presentation of environmental studies and public launch of the project, go to harness and enhance the two parishes and Tôr Querença. This rapport is to hire applicants services, help in starting small businesses and lead the future residents and customers of the Fifth Ombria to prefer local services.
In this project, there will be no trade within the property, or conventional services, "forcing" users to move to neighboring parishes.
In addition to this economic function in the long run, the Quinta da Ombria give preference to residents in the county for the hundreds of contracts that have to do.
But the project is in itself an unequivocal value: the natural beauty Algarvian (although ten minutes from the coast and the beach) with great oak tree, oaks, strawberry trees, olive and carob trees, bearing and hybrid species that are new for scholars.
|This is the project view of what one day will be the Quinta da Ombria golf course
The property is fully integrated into the Natura 2000.
The hotel project (not chosen to mark contacts and stem) development will be over the next ten years and will leave the club house project, which will be based in an old colonial house that is in ruins and no architectural value. A slightly higher quota will be a five star hotel and spa, which will build on sloping ground to fit in the hills of the property.
The course, which will always be a lower elevation than the homes will have design architect Jorge Santana da Silva, who will tell a story over its 18 holes, par 71, developed in 6090 meters.
The stream of Mercy and the artificial lakes are obstacles favorites, along with indigenous trees classified and would allow a game with some spectacular. The first ten holes develop will land in a relatively short rough and with little modulation by the architect, but the last eight holes require the skill, commitment and strategy. Remember that Jorge Santana da Silva made recently, the field of the Orangery, in Quinta do Lago and is building the "27th hole" of the Estate of the Pine tree, the second "nine-hole" Valley Piso also the field of Évora Resort. Abroad is active in projects of golf courses in Angola, Netherlands, Cyprus and Germany.
Loulé has 14 of the 32 golf courses in the Algarve, this product is a crucial factor for the seasonal break.
The draft of the Fifth Ombria with works expected to start in February and March in terms of infrastructure, while the estate's first phase will include club house, hotel and spa and also the first phase of the batch of houses.
Less than 5% of space will be occupied by construction, while 60 hectares will be allocated to the protection of local species. It will also set aside an area of ecological gardens for enjoyment of owners of dwellings.
Environmental management is one of the biggest bets of the promoter, has been made of hydraulic and hydrological studies, the study of flora, vegetation and habitats, with emphasis on the bat population.
The Association of Forest Producers the Caldeirão had a crucial role in minimizing the negative impacts of infrastructure construction. The sponsor wants to eventually obtain a specific environmental certification.
In the occupation of the future development travel far will be in electric cars and vehicles of residents and customers will be "hidden" in indoor parking lots.
The project involves the use of bridges, canals and ponds that are spread over 180 hectares, contributing to the development of a tourism connection to nature, but also to offer specific products associated with this case and that has strong demand for Nordic English and even Portuguese.
Infrastructure highlights the ability of the fifth to be part of sustainable water, while the sewage treatment plant will be dealt with next.
The energy level, the architects should consider systems optimization and improvement of sun exposure.
European Commission does not approve of Ombria Thursday and may proceed with action against Portugal The European Commission, under Art 226 of the EU Treaty, just send "a supplementary reasoned opinion against the Portuguese in the context of the infringement procedure 2004/4979 on the draft of the Fifth Ombria.
The Almargem recalls that Art 226 of the Treaty gives the Commission to take legal action against Member States that fail to meet their obligations.
In this case, and after the opening of infringement proceedings, the Commission sent a first written warning to the government asking for clarification.
As explanations of the Portuguese authorities presented earlier this year, were not considered sufficient, "the Commission now sent a final written warning (reasoned opinion) which show formally infringements of Community law which the Government is required to act in accordance
If Portugal does not comply with the reasoned opinion, emphasizes the environmental association Algarve, the Commission may decide to the Court of Justice of the European Union.
If the Court finds that the Treaty has been infringed, the offending Member State shall take the necessary measures to stop such infringement.
In article 228 of the Treaty gives the Commission power to act against the United States that do not comply with the Court of Justice.
The article also allows the Commission to ask the Court to impose a financial penalty on the Member State concerned.
The Almargem adds that the decision now taken by the European Commission comes to their concerns, repeatedly expressed "serious about the environmental impacts of the development of Quinta da Ombria (Loulé), where this urban-tourism project will be implemented in full Natura 2000 (Site of Community Importance "Barrocal") and the largest and most important strategic reserve of underground water in the Algarve (the aquifer Querença-Silves) '.
Almargem The Association therefore hopes that "the Portuguese authorities to act now so fast, clear and copy on this subject, to avoid a legal process that will undermine the good name of Portugal and, in particular the good name of the Municipality of Loulé and the Town of Querença '.
The Almargem stresses that 'is not in any way against development within the municipality of Loulé, but against this particular project, it could certainly be different but that has changed little over time, due to poor foresight of those responsible. "
The association states continue to consider the draft of the Fifth Ombria 'damaging natural values and authenticity of the region, in addition to not fit into a model of truly differentiating tourism, responsible and sustainable, it must focus on the valuation of the assets of the interior Algarve and not promote its irreversible destruction This project could in fact be different "but" little has changed over time, due to poor foresight of those responsible, "finalize environmentalists.
The tourism project for the last Ombria provides a five-star hotel - with a maximum of 200 rooms - three resorts and 31 lots for individual houses - offering a total of 1800 tourist beds - a spa and a golf course 18 holes.
