Love This DryerI had a rusk speed freak, and it was the best hair dryer. It dried my hair so fast, faster then any other dryer, but it was very heavy. I was looking for a good hair dryer, lighter in weight, so I went with this one after researching online. This hair dryer is GREAT. I like that is has different heat setting and different speeds and it is so lightweight. My hair is wavy and gets frizzy when I dry it, this dryer cut down on the frizz and dried my hair fast. I have 2 daughters that both have long wavy hair, and they used it, and it cut there time in half straightening there hair because it came out so straight with this dryer and shiny. They both love it. I usually go with a ceramic hair dryer, but this dryer was just as good, it also prevented static.Dec 29, 2009Lisa / Lansdale Pa

Super Shiny Hair In Seconds!I have boughten appliances here and LOVE them but from the Solia line, and I actually bought this dryer from the store at an even way lower price. I wasnt sure if I wanted to return it but used it this morning and immediately I noticed that my wavy, frizzy hair was sleek, shiny, and healthier. Time for me has always been an important thing since I"m always on the go so this dryer definitely helped cut the time in half and I love the end results. So far so good! I especially love the light weight factor, it makes it easier when I travel and doesnt make my bag heavier!Nov 19, 2008Erica Murray / Miami, FL & San Francisco, CA

Great While It Lasts, But ...At the recommendation of my stylist, I finally broke down and purchased an ionic hair dryer for my shoulder-length, very thick, wavy hair. I broke my wrist badly in the past, so I was very conscious about buying one that was "lite" so that I could maneuver it better. My drying time was cut substantially with this and it is definitely lighter than the traditional dryers of this size. However, I did not notice any difference in "shine" or "sleekness," it just simply was easier and quicker than most comparable dryers. But heres my biggest concern: I had this product less than a year when it completely died one day. And I only use it about once a week, at most. So I can honestly say .. this is the most expensive dryer Ive ever purchased, but with the shortest product life! I am not a regular reviewer, but I do read and value consumer product reviews and so felt the need to post this warning because it was such a very poor experience.Aug 28, 2008Anonymous / Alexandria, VA

Love This Dryer!After reading most of the dryer reviews, I decided on this dryer. I received it last night and couldnt wait to test it out this morning. I have shoulder-length, fine, semi-curly/frizzy hair. It used to take me about 15-20 minutes to dry my hair with my previous Conair dryer and it would almost never come out completely smooth and the ends would typically be kinky unless I spent a LOT of time on them. This morning, drying my hair took 10 minutes max and my hair has stayed smooth through a typical swampy (hot & humid) Wash DC summer day. I used the highest heat setting for most of the drying and then switched down to the medium heat setting for the final styling, which was more than enough for my fine hair. I used the concentrator, but not the hair pick tool. I will probably buy one for my sister!Jul 30, 2008Rleonard / Wash DC

Almost Perfectits a really good dryer, but not that good for natural black hair. the comb attachment comes off really easily and its really annoying, and the thicker your hair is, the easier it comes off. its also a little awkward at first when you use it on your own hair because its very long. other than that, it works very well, it dries and straightens my hair in a very short time.May 30, 2008Sydnee / Baltimore

Tourmaline Hot Tools DryerI bought a T3 Featherweight and HATED it...airflow was horrible and was too hot. Couldnt understand all the hype about it. So I bought this Hot Tools instead. Its a far superior product, has better airflow and my hair comes out really good. Its got 3 heat and 3 speed settings as opposed to just low and hot (which is very hot) on the T3. One of the bullets on the box of the Hot Tools dryer is that it is very quiet; I would not call it very quiet, but its quieter than most. Why anyone would want to spend $200 on a T3 is totally beyond me when there are more economically priced dryers like this one that do a far better job.May 5, 2008Cybercat

Good ValueMy hair is straight and fine and currently permed. I wanted a hairdryer that would let me blow my hair out in the sleek way that my hairstylist does. My hair has always dried fairly quickly, in about 10 minutes, and it still takes about 10 minutes to dry my hair. I havent been able to replicate the sleek style my hairstylist achieves but its true that my hair is less frizzy and in better condition. Its a very light hairdryer, but it still manages to feel substantial, like it wont break immediately. Ive only had it for about 2 months so I cant comment on its longevity. It doesnt get nearly as hot as hairdryers Ive previously owned, which I appreciate. And although the control buttons are placed near where my hand holds the dryer, I havent had any problems with accidentally changing the settings. Overall, Im pleased with this purchase and glad I didnt spend lots more for one of the bigger buck dryers.Feb 8, 2008Sue / Lawrenceville, NJ

Well fellow Mangasharers I have to be honest and say that I don't really much like the Forum Wide trolling Gag thats been going on.
For the following reasons:
1) I do not much like posts or links that disguise what they really are
2) I do not like to be redirect to where I do not wish to be. (I am not very big on Boredom Zone type things, you won't find me there often, and I don't wish to be re-directed there involuntarily).
3) I am fairly certain that this is not a good precedent.
4) I am fairly certain that others feel the way I do.
Having said the above, I want to make it plane that this is only my opinion and the majority and the mods should rightly prevail. I have no intention or desire to be unpleasant about it, nor will I say anymore outside this thread (except for one comment I had made before this). In fact most people I consider to be friends think it's downright funny.
Anyway, I think we should end the trend, but I don't expect that everyone will agree with me or see things as I do. So what do you all think/say?
Nothing above should be seen as pretending to usurp the rights and powers of the Mods.

Sally Hershberger
Sally Hershberger Supreme Lift for Thin Hair
- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- Light formula adds power to limp hair
- Maintains flexibility with a thicker, sexier texture
- Light mist spray prevents hair from being weighed down
- Layers well with other products
- Heat activated polymers condition and protect hair from heat styling
Sally Hershberger's Supreme Lift for Thin Hair was designed to plump up thin hair at the roots for a voluminously sexy look. Just a few quick sprays to provide long-lasting lift and a dramatically thicker texture.
Water (Aqua), PVP, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Amp-Acrylates/Allyl, Methacrylate, Copolymer, Vp/Acrylates/Lauryl, Methocrylate Copolymer, Cinnamidopropyltrimonium Chloride, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Cystine Bis-PG-Propyl Siloletriol, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, PG-Propyl Siloletriol, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP, Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Algin Chlorella, Vulgaris Extract, Sea Water, Moringa, Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Adonsonia Digitata Extract, Phospholipids, Glycerin, Hyddrolyzed Rice Protein, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Protein, Helianthus, Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract, Tocopheryl, Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate Ascorbyl Palmitate, Magnesium Aspartate, Zinc Gluconate, Copper Gluconate, Benzophenone-4, Fragrance (Parfum), Aminomethyl, Propanol, Disodium EDTA, DMDM, Hydontoin, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbomate.
Spray generously onto towel dried hair, making sure to reach the roots. Comb through with fingertips, add other styling products if desired, then go blow.
Works Well For All Day Volume On Long, Limp HairWith long, super fine hair, a root spray is ideal for my tresses as they tend to be less drying than mousse, but sometimes seem to do nothing for me. As a beauty blogger I've reviewed a lot of products, and this spritz manages to give all-day volume without an overpowering scent or too much stickiness. I'd definitely use it again, and recommend it to those with equally fine hair.Aug 25, 2013Julia D. / New York CityHAIR TYPEAuburn / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

LOL at the notion that I don't break any news. Remember when I wrote last January that the Dolphins were switching to a 4-3 defense? And Armando tried to claim that the report was bull****? How'd that one work out?
And that's just one example.....
Ben Volin and Barry Jackson are the best local guys. Only guys I go to for info. I go to Omar for yucks and to make myself feel more intelligent.
I wish someone would send a letter to Armando about Armando:
I'm a life long Dolphins fan living in New York. Living in NY I have a better pulse on what the Bills beat writers are doing than I do the Miami Dolphins beat writers. I'd take Mark Gaughan of Buffalo articles eighty five times over yours and four thousand times on Sunday. The problem is speculative writing and reaching for news worthy facts. While Gaughan covers more the basics of football like the head coaching search in Buffalo, the up coming draft, team needs and free agency you tend to cover things like "Where is Steven Ross's private jet heading....could it be for a new GM", "Yesterday I talked to several "inside" sources and they all say Egnew isn't going to make it" and of course "what really is the Miami Dolphins off season plan?"
While the stories you provide are indeed entertaining for there lack of insight they are also readily available from the lowest of website including Bleacher Report. I would like to see more out of you Armando, gaining slightly more football related topics would get you to the level of Omar but that isn't a very lofty goal either, that is like aspiring to star in Killer Klowns From Outerspace yeah it gets you on TV but an Oscar nod it will not. No Armando I think you can get to Ben Volin's level with a little effort and insight. Grab a seat and a keyboard and call of those "inside" sources and grab and interview with Ryan Tannehlll or Cameron Wake. Maybe even some insight into the actual reason Ross's jet heads toward NYC so often his huge development project in Manhattan. Maybe a little depth on the contracts of veterans like Bush, Hartline and Long or maybe an article on how Philbin persevered in Miami even after the loss of his son given the one year anniversary of his death is upon us.
So in closing, enough of the half truths and speculation that makes up little more than tabloid news, give us something on par with the local town newspaper, we aren't asking you to be the BBC News or Time Life, just good enough to be a Buffalo beat writer with some Miami sprinkled in. That's all we want.
Thank you,
The Fans.

Some of the simplest computing devices made and sold are aids to counting. From ancient to early modern times, scribes performing calculations moved small stones or metal tokens along lines. More recently, mechanical counters have been widely used to count crowds and objects, and as parts of machines.
In the nineteenth century, several inventors patented mechanical counters. Patent models surviving in the Mathematics Collections at the National Museum of American History suggest the range of their concerns. Paul Stillman in 1854 and Daniel Davies and Edward Wright in 1876 patented improvements in rotary measures, such as were used in revolution counters for steam engines. In 1874, Alexander Atkinson patented a counting register to help track quantities of grain. As the amount of leisure time available to Americans increased, three inventors around 1880 saw fit to patent counters to keep score in games.
By the turn of the century, mechanical revolution counters were incorporated in laboratory apparatus, in factories using engines, in distance measures such as odometers, and in cash registers. Americans manufactured them and imported them from abroad. Government offices bought and made counters to compile statistics, and employers used them to figure out the bills and coins they needed to meet payroll. Of course counters were incorporated in a wide range of vehicles and meters. Handheld counters are used to this day to count people entering and leaving buildings and on public transit.
D. Baxandall, rev, J. Pugh, Calculating Machines and Instruments, London: Science Museum, 1975, p. 66.
Examples of counting tokens are in the Smithsonian's National Numismatics collection.

Atkinson Counting Register, U.S. Patent Office Model
- Description
- This roughly built wooden and metal device is the U.S. patent model for a counter patented by Alexander P. Atkinson of Vermont, Ill., on November 7, 1871. It has an open wooden frame, with a window at the front for viewing the registering wheels. The three wheels are mounted on a crosswise shaft, along with a fourth wheel, which drives the others. Lowering a crank on the right side of the frame moves the driving wheel and the rightmost registering wheel one unit back. Returning the crank upright moves the driving but not the registering wheel.
- The wheels are wooden. The registering wheels are covered with paper bands around the edge which have the digits marked from 0 to 9. Screws are used as gear teeth in much of the mechanism. The device carries. According to the patent, the machine was intended for use in counting the number of bushels or other measures of grain that passed a given point.
- A mark on the front above the window reads: A.P. Atkinson (/) Vermont (/) Ill's.
- Alexander P. Atkinson (1840-1906) lived in Vermont, Ill., and founded the Vermont Loan and Building Association in 1889. He remained President of that bank into the 20th century.

Lifetime planning not only saves you a ton of tax dollars, but also significantly increases your wealth and makes the rest of your life less stressful. Of course, your lifetime plan will dovetail with your estate (death) plan.
Let's use Joe as an example for how this works. Joe is worth $44 million. Here are his significant assets: He owns 51 percent of Success Co., which is worth $19 million; his business real estate is valued at $10 million; his two residences are worth $4 million; his rollover IRA is worth $2 million; and his stock portfolio is worth $9 million. Joe also has a $10 million life insurance policy.
His sister Sue owns 49 percent of Success Co. Only one of Joe's five children, Sam, is in the business and will take over for Joe someday.
Joe, age 62, plans to live to age 87, and his 60-year-old wife, Mary, plans to live to 93. Remember, no estate tax is due until the second death, which is a long time frame for a comprehensive lifetime plan.
Joe hates paying taxes. He has spent a small fortune over a span of 5 years with various professional advisors in an attempt to create an estate plan that accomplishes four key goals: get the business to Sam without losing control of it; treat the four non-business kids fairly; grow his wealth so he can leave an equal dollar amount to the non-business kids; leave at least $10 million to his alma mater; and find a tax-effective way to buy Sue's 49 percent of Success Co.
The following are strategies we used to accomplish Joe's goals based on the assets he owns. Notice that every one was implemented as part of Joe's lifetime plan, while leaving his estate (death) plan alone.
1. Success Co.: We created 100 shares of voting stock (51 for Joe and 49 for Sue) and 20,000 shares of non-voting stock (10,200 shares for Joe and 9,800 for Sue). We then created two intentionally defective trusts (IDTs) to buy the non-voting stock. Sam is the beneficiary of both IDTs and will own all of the non-voting stock when the cost is paid using Success Co.'s cash flow. The entire IDT transaction is tax-free to Joe, Sue and Sam. This means no income tax, no capital gains tax and no estate tax.
Joe bought Sue's voting stock for $100,000 and will continue to control Success Co. for life.
2. Business Real Estate: We created a charitable lead trust (CLT) and transferred the business real estate to the CLT, which will receive $1.2 million in annual rent from Success Co. The CLT was set up to last for 16 years and pay 7 percent per year (or $700,000) to charity. The Joe Family Foundation will receive the $700,000, a portion of which will pay the premium on a second-to-die life insurance policy on Joe and Mary for $10 million (and will ultimately go to Joe's alma mater).
The real estate is now out of Joe's estate for tax purposes. After 16 years, the balance in the CLT will go to the non-business kids—all tax-free.
3. Residences: We transferred a 50-percent interest in each of the two residences to Joe's trust (from his existing estate plan). The other 50 percent went to Mary's trust. This strategy provides a minority discount, lowering the value of the residences to $2.8 million for estate tax purposes.
4. Rollover IRA: We used a strategy called Retirement Plan Rescue to purchase $15 million of second-to-die life insurance, using the IRA funds to pay the premiums. The entire $15 million will go to the children tax-free. The $10 million term policy was allowed to lapse.
5. Stock Portfolio: We transferred the portfolio to a family limited partnership, lowering its value to $6 million for tax purposes because of discounts allowed by the tax law.
6. Estate Plan Trusts: Finally, we amended the current estate plan trusts with the appropriate language to make sure that the various assets, including the insurance, would treat the non-business kids fairly.
After 4 months the plan was done. In addition to accomplishing all of his lifetime goals, Joe got a huge dollar bonus—the plan gets all $44 million of his wealth to his kids with all taxes paid in full.
What's the planning lesson to be learned from Joe's story? Smart lifetime planning plus your old traditional estate plan prevent loss of wealth to the IRS.

Just right
"Ok, for $20 you can't go wrong. They are comfortable and the heel is low so I really liked that. The plastic in the front was a surprise when I got them, but when I wore them it's hard to tell. Can't go wrong with the price or the shoe. Definitely a keeper."

Great dress shoes!
"These shoes fit true to size and are a simple and classy way to finish off an evening ensemble. The kitten heel is great for those who would rather not wear sky high heels, the ankle strap eases the minds of those who would worry about slipping out of their shoes, and the slightly padded insole provides a nice amount of cushion. Also, the little transparent strap and the polka dot insole are just adorable bonus features!"

Utility prices are on the rise again. Deb Dull from Utah Power was on hand to give the quarterly update at the Emery County Commission meeting. Dull announced that Bill Landels had retired and Rich Walje had been selected to be the new Executive Vice President. Walje has family ties to this area and as a result will be no stranger to the area.
Dull also informed the council of the rate increase now taking effect. The new increase includes a three tiered electric pricing system. During the summer months, air conditioning unit use comprises 30 percent of the electricity use. During those months, electric rates will be more than at other times of the year to encourage a reduction in power use.
"The See Ya Later, Refrigerator program that Utah Power is now participating in has taken in over 13,000 old cooling units. Utah Power will pay any customer $40 for an old refrigerator or freezer when it is replaced with a new, higher efficiency model. Since the program began, enough power has been saved to power 2,000 home for an entire year," Dull said.
The drought is continuing to effect Utah Power's forecasts of water needed. With the snow pack melting so quickly and the reservoirs so low, it is extremely difficult to project how much water will be available. As a result, if the drought continues, Utah Power may need to take more drastic steps with the water.
Over the last quarter, Utah Power has hired 53 new employees, with the majority of those coming from the Emery County area. Hunter Plant has hired 18, Huntington Plant-1, Carbon Plant-3 and Energy West has hired 21 employees.
During the meeting, the commissioners set May 4 at 5 p.m. for a public hearing concerning proposed changes the zoning commission is compiling. These changes will effect housing in the county.
Diane Tadehara of Youth in Families with Promise addressed the commissioners concerning her program. As a result of severe funding cuts, the program, which helps youth in the county, has lost all funding. She explained several fund raising events they have held and asked the commissioners about the possibility of getting matching funds.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud explained that the commission cannot donate to this program. Commissioner Ira Hatch informed Tadehara that he has some other ideas and asked her to return to the next meeting and he will inform her then.
Bert Oman, president of the Emery County Historical Society explained what the historical society is doing on the project of restoring the Swinging Bridge. Oman also explained the historical society is hoping to have Swasey Dugout listed in the national register. Before Swinging Bridge can be listed on that register, it is in need of major restoration. Commissioner Hatch informed Oman that Kathleen Truman is working on grants to be used for that purpose, but the commissioners support the actions of the historical society also.
Steve Barton, Emery County Treasurer announced that Emery Telcom has appealed its 2003 property taxes. During this process, several properties have been reclassified as not in service. This will result in the biggest refund the county has had to give this year. It will be more than $15,000 and the county has budgeted $10,000 for appeals to be handled in 2004.
Jeff Guymon announced that the county libraries will each be receiving an additional computer, with the exception of Green River as they have recently received two new computers. The Library Services and Technology Act has given the funding for this upgrade at each library.
Commissioner Sitterud announced that work on the low water boat ramp at Joes Valley will begin soon.
The water level is beginning to raise sooner this year that in the past years, so this means the work will need to be completed earlier. The ramp will be located on the east side of the lake, just south of the Sportsmans Lodge. With sediment settling in on the existing boat ramp, the new ramp is necessary to enable boat launches at the reservoir. Emery County, the forest service, the Bureau of Reclamation and DWR have all been involved in this project.
Commissioner Sitterud also announced that the recent grants that Emery County received will result in the work on the projects: Little Bear campground will be receiving 30 new aluminum tables; a trap range will be constructed near the sheriff's office; and the Huntington ball complex will be fenced, new dugouts constructed and netting over the concession area. The commissioners set a date for the May Tax Sale for May 25 at 10 a.m. The next commission meeting will be April 20 at 9 a.m.

For years, the recommendations for men with prostate issues have centered around saw palmetto—and for good reason. Extensive research leaves little room for doubt that it's one of the best ways to keep your prostate size normal and help manage urinary frequency and flow issues.
But after years of little news on the prostate front, there's finally a new player on the field, with impressive statistics. It's a combination of pumpkin seed extract and soy isoflavones, called Go-Less®, that an open label trial has shown to reduce nighttime urination by 40%!
You can now get the full research dose of Go-Less in my Prostate Health formula. In addition, you get all of nutrients known to support healthy prostate tissue, normal prostate size, and normal urinary flow—all in the research doses and forms. This formula provides your best defense against prostate concerns, right now and for the long run.
My Prostate Health
- Helps maintain normal prostate size and healthy prostate tissue and function
- Reduces the urge to urinate at night
- Reduces frequency of urination—day and night
- Promotes peak urinary flow and reduces the volume of urine left in the bladder
- Reduces bladder over-activity and promotes urinary continence
- Inhibits production of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which helps reduce testosterone's conversion to DHT
- Protects your prostate tissue from free-radical damage
- Make sure everything you take works its best!
If you're taking targeted formulas for specific health concerns -- such as Prostate Health -- make sure you're also taking the right multivitamin. This lays a solid foundation for all of those other nutrients to build upon, ensuring that they work their best. Just as a solid foundation is the most important step in building a house, you can only build good health the same way—from the ground up. Take a good, comprehensive multi-nutrient with the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids your body requires and everything you do to stay active and strong will go even further to ensure lifelong good health!

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment has a very good location to both the sea and at the same time close enough to central areas of Nice. All kind of shops for food and accommodation doorstep. We had the late, great evenings on the spacious terrace and the apartment is completely free of annoying noises of the night / morning. A fresh and "new" apartment. A less that the owner agreed a price of mail in advance, but another when we were paying. Furthermore, we experienced a partially clogged drain in the shower as the owner would fix. This did not happen.
Leiligheten har en meget god beliggenhet, både til sjøen og samtidig nært nok til sentrale områder i Nice. Alle type butikker for mat og opphold rett utenfor døra. Vi hadde sene, fine kvelder på den romslige terrassen og leiligheten er helt fri for sjenerende støy på natta/morgenen.
En fresh og "ny" leilighet.
Et minus at eier avtalte en pris på mail i forkant, men en annen da vi skulle betale. Videre opplevde vi et delvis tett sluk i dusjen som eier skulle fikse. Dette skjedde ikke.
We tried for the first time Wimdu, and was initially positive to the apartment, which looked decent and nice in the pictures. We were even more positive when we arrived. The apartment in 5 Rue Francoise Aune, was in the 5th floor, and thus we came up from street level both in terms of noise and street lights. A lovely balcony with awnings all the way, it was good to have both morning and evening. The apartment was more than big enough for us, a family of four, although the living room then had to be used as bedroom two. The balcony was our living. Practical with access from every room to the balcony, quite apart from the bathroom. Our host, Salvatore, we hit not face to face, but we were greeted by an assistant, who was very nice. Salvatore responded promptly to our inquiries, and seemed very sympathetic and honest. If we were missing something, he was quick to sort out! The area round the apartment is quiet and friendly, with supermarket, boulangeries and other shops in the immediate vicinity. Perfect location for excursions either by train or bus, then the train station is in just 10 minutes walking distance and 7-8 minutes down to the Promenade des Anglais, where we could take the bus from. We only postive experiences, except that all the towels we were given smelled sour, and had taken a round in the washing machine before use. We will gladly back down :)
Vi prøvde for første gang Wimdu, og var i utgangspunktet positive til leiligheten, som så helt grei og fin ut på bildene. Vi ble enda mer positive når vi kom frem. Selve leiligheten i 5 Rue Francoise Aune, lå i 5 etasje, og dermed kom vi opp fra gatenivå både når det gjaldt støy og gatelys. En deilig balkong med markiser hele veien, var god å ha både om morgenen og kvelden. Leiligheten var mer enn stor nok for oss, en familie på fire, selv om stuen da måtte brukes som soverom to. Balkongen ble vårt oppholdsrom. Praktisk med utgang fra alle rom til balkongen, rent bortsett fra badet. Vår vert, Salvatore, traff vi ikke ansikt til ansikt, men vi ble møtt av en assistent, som var meget hyggelig. Salvatore svarte umiddelbart på alle våre henvendelser, og virket meget sympatisk og etterrettelig. Hvis vi manglet noe, var han kjapp med å ordne opp! Strøket rundt denne leiligheten er rolig og vennlig, med supermarked, boulangeries og andre butikker i umiddelbar nærhet. Perfekt beliggenhet for utflukter enten med tog eller buss, da togstasjonen befinner seg i kun 10 minutters gangavstand, og 7-8 minutter ned til Promenade des Anglais, der vi kunne ta buss fra. Vi har bare postive opplevelser, bortsett fra at alle håndklær vi fikk luktet surt, og måtte tas en runde i vaskemaskinen før bruk. Vi kommer gjerne ned igjen :)
Fantastic terrace, great location and friendly host, recommended!
Fantastische terras, prima locatie en vriendelijke host, aanrader!
Studio bien propre et très bien placé
bon accueil
Appartement relativement conforme aux photos, mais problème d'humidité. Placement irréprochable, en plein centre, à 1mn de la mer, très pratique !
Idéal pour un court séjour entre amis
El piso está súper bien localizado en el centro de la ciudad. A destacar que es muy amplio y las habitaciones no dan a la calle principal, por lo que no se oye ni un ruido durante la noche.
A mejorar, el cuarto-ducha olía un poco a desagüe hasta que abrías la ducha...por si se puede hacer algo (solo como mejora).
La atención del dueño, muy buena y la del chico que nos entregó las llaves, perfecta.
Recomiendo el piso al 100%.
Appartamento essenziale, carino e molto centrale. Grazie.
très bon emplacement. Appartement fonctionnel à proximité du centre ville excellent accueil. Nous le recommandons chaleureusement
A parte la posizione centrale l'appartamento é troppo piccolo. La tv non funzionava e c'erano tre lampadine bruciate. L'appartamento è di un solo locale (quello della foto) di circa 12 metriquadri; dalla scala si accede ad un piccolo soppalco di circa 9 metriquadri (altezza circa m. 1.35!) in cui c'è il letto.
The apartment was just amazing! It's huge, the perfect size for two up to three couples. We had 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The living room and kitchen are very big and perfect to relax after a long sightseeing day. Very nice refurbished and located in a quiet neighborhood.
We had a great time and I can recommend to stay there.
Also the host was very responsive and helpful. As we arrived very early in Nice we had the chance to get the keys for the apartment already at noon.

The new AZENIS FK453CC is designed to target the growing demand for European-made luxury Crossover vehicles as well as SUVs produced by U.S. and international automakers.

The FK453CC boasts a large shoulder block, with a continuous outer rib that provides greater handling and stability. It also effectively reduces tire noise and improves ride comfort. Additionally, the FK453CC is solid in adverse conditions, calling upon its three wide, continuous grooves that effectively evacuate water significantly improving resistance to hydroplaning. Finally, Falken has created a stylish new sidewall design which highlights the Falken "F-Arrow" identity, enhancing the overall look of the tire and complementing the luxury Crossover or SUV.
A NEW SILICA COMPOUND for better dry and wet grip. SPECIAL "FALKEN FEATURE" F-ARROW IDENTITY brand new sidewall that enhances the overall look of the tire. THREE WIDE CIRCUMFERENTIAL GROOVES effectively evacuate water and significantly improve hydroplaning resistance for outstanding wet handling. MULTIPLE NYLON REINFORCED LAYERS designed for better high speed stability, plus new optimized casing profile offers better contact with the road for increased handling, particularly in the area of lane change maneuvers. ASYMMETRIC TREAD DESIGN with large outside shoulder blocks, provide enhanced cornering and better braking traction while reducing tire noise.
Decent tread wear even with prepping the tires for the quarter mile. A little noisy on a crappy highway.
No good in colder weather, but no summer tire is.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

Ode to the gym and its hamster machines,
Where sweat, not love, drips onto the floor.
And bleary-eyed faces, as though in a dream,
Just keep circling and circling for more.
Ode to the worker, who each day at noon,
Chips away at her unyielding routine.
Where meaning is found in a glaze of tunes,
And Fox News full blast on TV screens.
Ode to gym and the peace that I find,
With nowhere to go and nothing to see.
Read magazines till my conscience goes blind,
And circle until my legs are set free.
Hearts beat in hopeful pursuit of each run,
In static frenzy we find our own fun.

|In response to Re: New Moen shower fixtures and can't adjust water volume
: Hello, any help would be appreciated. We recently had our shower fixtures (taps, faucet etc.) replaced. Previously, we were able to adjust the volume of water that came out of the shower. However, with the new installation, the water comes out at an extremely heavy volume and cannot be reduced. We never had a hot water problem before, but because of the volume of water, we can only use the shower for about 20 minutes until all our hot water is used up. In the past, the shower could be used by multiple family members for hours without this problem.
: Just wondered, is it likely the type of fixture we had installed and will we likely have to replace the new shower fixture with one that allows volume control? Inside the thing we pull on to turn the shower on and adjust the temperature I can see a long screw. I was wondering if it might be possible to adjust this screw so we can control the volume of water?
: any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Oh, the possibilities. Emery County is rich in history and the landscapes are unsurpassed anywhere. Where we will go and what we'll become is virtually unknown, but it doesn't hurt to dream and scheme.
One Emery County dreamer, Owen Price has been wandering the San Rafael Swell for most of his 92 years. He also spent a great deal of time out there constructing roads to the uranium mines and other places. He feels the San Rafael Swell is a very special place and worthy of more recognition than it currently receives.
He would like to see a state park put on the western side of the Swell. An area just below Castle Dale within 20 miles of town, is according to Price, "An area of exquisite beauty." It holds many hoodoo type rock formations similar to Goblin Valley and would be an outstanding place to build picnic and restroom facilities. "The hiking would be great around that area and activities could be developed around the river with rafting, float trips and other activities." Price also envisions nature walks, wildlife observation and fishing. He said a lot of people venture far from home for activities which we have in our own backyard. He would like to see better facilities built closer to home so people can enjoy the Swell with a few amenities.
Price has been a longtime guide on the Swell with many stories to tell of cowboys and outlaws as well as information about the geological formations.
One such trip which Price remembers well is the time he led troubled teenagers on a tour and campout of the Swell. He received a package of letters from those teenagers involved with the trip where they offered their thanks. One letter reads, "Thanks for hanging out with us at the San Rafael Swell. It was fun when you showed us the Indian pictographs and telling us about how it began. Thanks for showing us the cross and the cabin. I enjoyed it a whole bunch. This is the first time I've ever got to do something like this and thanks for being a part of it for me."
Price has also been involved with leading scout groups from out of the area and showing them what the Swell is all about. One scout wrote, "Thanks for showing us all of the places on the San Rafael Swell. My favorite part about it though was when you let me ride a horse for my first time. I really appreciate it. I will never forget the nickname you gave me, Catfish, because I had a big mouth and no brain. Well I am working on getting a brain now, thanks for your recommendation. The next time I am down there I will stop by and say hello. Thanks for everything."
Price thinks that tourists are already visiting our area in record numbers and it's time to capitalize on it in a better way. Swell tours, horseback rides and other outdoor activities could be advertised and promoted to bring more people into the area.
One idea he has for developing the state park would be to organize youth groups and others to donate their time to make the project work. Price believes the San Rafael Swell is a place of opportunity for our area. Most people even those living within the county aren't aware of the jewel lying just to our south, the San Rafael Swell.
Price himself is a local jewel and at 92 he says he's not sure how much longer he'll be around. When he passes on the knowledge he has of the Swell and his memories of the happenings there will be lost. But, he would like to spend the years he has left in promoting the Swell and being of use as a guide for groups. He would like to see more local youth groups and scouts etc. take advantage of the opportunities afforded in the San Rafael Swell and to become more knowledgeable about it and help to preserve and protect the Swell while still making good use of the many activities it has to offer. Contact Price if you're interested in having his knowledgeable presence at a tour of the area.
