This may be the best toy I have ever bought! Kids can roll it and go inside. Neighbors stop to look and play. Occasionally it gets a hole, but these have been easily fixed with the patch kit. It took me an hour to inflate the cells using Hearthsong's air pump. Don't even think you can blow this up without that.

THIS BALL IS A WONDERFUL IDEA AND WE WERE SOOOOOO EXCITED TO GET IT FOR OUR TWO CHILDREN (AGES 8 & 3)---this was a santa present following several large snowstorms so it was PERFECT for a Christmas morning adventure! Each bubble is blown up seperate so assemby is no problem---and it looks exactly like it should--HUGE and FUN! HOWEVER, even in several feet of snow and only allowing our children in the ball one at a time, etc (we were conscious!)--the ball is now sitting in our yard half deflated because SEVERAL of the bubbles deflated--not sure on what--but it's a HUGE waste of money sitting in my yard collecting rain and debris!!!!! I LOVE Hearthsong products and will continue to purchase from them, but this was undoubtedly the worst purchase EVER!

"So much fun!"
By Lollydude

About Me 3 W Add, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
Comments about HearthSong Incred-a-ball:
We spent some weekends at the football field and our children have just had a 'ball' with this. Wish we had two to race and play 'bumper balls'. People stopped and watched, took pictures and thought it looked like a blast! My kids giggled there heads off. Soo much fun. Wish the material was thicker as the two of the panels popped after a few uses but it still works fine. We call it our "Human Hampster Ball".

Rips within hours
By lis

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
This breaks within the first couple of hours. The kids loved this until it ripped into a flat mat. It didn't take long and my son is only 40 lbs. It was too expensive to break so easily.

Won't Go The Distance....
By JC
from Atlanta
Pros: Kids love it. My six year old and all of his friends were highly entertained. It was so nice to see something besides Wii and Legos capture their attention with such joy.Cons: The entertainment was brief. After three outdoor plays, the ball ended up with FIVE leaks along the seams, which we cannot seem to repair. The ball was only used on soft grass, after carefully removing all sharp objects, e.g. sticks and rocks. Didn't matter. Broken. An additional con was the amount of time it took to inflate. If you are looking for a "one shot" play, this ball fills the bill. Buyers beware: it is NOT durable.Since it's headed for a landfill, after such a short period of time (Christmas gift), I can only give this toy ONE star.

My cheeks blew out blowing this thing up
By Flappy Cheeks
from Trumbull, CT
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
My wife bought this as a Christmas present for our kids. She wanted it inflated under the tree on Christmas morning. I started at about 11pm Chrismas Eve and finished at 5am. My cheeks look like Louie Armstrons. One of the cells popped on the 3 try. If your not suicidal this thing will get you there.

Not worth the money!
By Dissatisfied Grandmother
from Midlothain Texas
Very time consuming to inflate and some of the areas would not stay inflated. It is not studry enough for kids to play in. Would not roll like others that my grandchildren have played in. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!! Very dissapointing.

Shoddy material
By mizzi
from Lancaster, CA
About Me Grandparent
I bought this ball as a group gift for my grandchildren. and they loved it. There are 7 of them and each one got an initial turn of about 5 minutes each. Sadly, we found it was necessary to reinflate all but a few cells every other turn. Left alone for the same amount of time it went completely flat except for about 4 cells. We only used it on the grass. This was a huge and expensive flop and we were all disappointed

Incred-a-ball - incredible!
By Grandma Diane
from Lincoln, NE
This is a great product. The kids just loved playing with it. Big enough for just about anyone to fit into. My grandkids played with it on Christmas Day and loved it. Would work well on snow or grass. The larger you are, the harder it is to keep rolling but still lots of fun.One drawback. This thing is huge! Your best bet to inflate it is to use a power compressor. Using the air pump that is sold for it would take all day to inflate the ball.

Absolutley Awesome!!
By Laura
from Michigan
This ball is the coolest! My 6 and 3 year old love it and have so many different things they do with it! Both of them can fit in it together and they use it as a clubhouse as well! One of the seams started to tear a bit and HearthSong quickly replaced the ball for me without question!

"Be Careful What You Wish For..."
By JOd
from Pittsburgh, PA
My chidlren took turns rolling inside the Incrediball, and loved it--we supervised their playtime to ensure the toy would not be misused. However, two segments began leaking within the first three days of use, and within one week, several segments were separating from each other around both openings.

Lots of fun!

Best used in a shady yard, when it is hot outside. We store under the deck, to keep it cool, and use in our shady backyard. But all the neighborhood kids love it!

Too incred-a-ball
By 40-something kid
from Fredericksburg, VA
Its big and durable enough to climb inside. But its too big for indoor use, its hot inside the ball when played with in the sun, and it really does not roll well when a child is in the ball. And that's what the kids wanted to do with it. Smaller kids can fall into one of the two openings and hit their body against the ground.

Break a ball

Too much work for Mom and Dad!
By Hyperventilated Mom
from Charlotte, NC
This is not something a 11 year old can blow up by themselves. It has many (30 or so) separate sections to blow up. The nozzles are difficult to open and shut. Even with a pump it takes about 1 hour to blow up.

Buyer beware
By mom
from Memphis, TN
We spent more hours inflating this ball than playing with it, because it ripped and leaked within a couple hours of playing in it. The very brief time it was not torn, it was enormously fun. However, within minutes, several cells tore at the seems, other cells began deflating, rendering it useless. You must blow up each cell, which took us several hours. When it was ready for play, we only used it on soft grass. Three small, young girls (not rough housers) were playing with this. All supervised play--no wild behavior. Too bad the ball didn't last. It's so fun that we wish we could give it a good review, but, unfortunately, the GBOP is not worth the trouble or money. We figured our GBOP costs us about a dollar per minute of play.

GIANT Alerts Customers to Smoked Salmon Recall
GIANT Food Stores, LLC, following a recall by Ocean Beauty Seafoods LLC, announced it removed from sale several varieties of smoked salmon due to possible contamination by listeria monocytogenes.
The following products are included in this recall:
- Nathan's Nova Salmon, 3 o.z., UPC 7303080368, all sell by dates
- Nathan's Nova Salmon, 8 o.z., UPC 7303080369, all sell by dates

We have received no reports of illnesses to date. Customers who have purchased the product should discard any unused portions and bring their purchase receipt to GIANT for a full refund.
Listeria is a common organism found in nature. Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease.

Get you lox/nova from Costco. It's almost half the price and much tastier and if they ever have a recall, they notify you, individually, and you don't need a receipt to get cash back. Once I discovered how good their smoked salmon tastes, and I get it at such a great price, I never will get it from anywhere else. One catch... you have to join the Costco club but man, it's worth it. I used to buy 1/2 lbs from Genardi's and when they got bought out by Giant, I had to look elsewhere. Now that I found Costco, I buy 1 1/2 lbs at about the same price and it's even more delicious. Happy Bar Mitzvah.

From a YouTube sensation now an NFL celebrity, Sam, dubbed the "Sweet Feet", recently appeared at the NFL Network headquarters in California. Sam showed off her skills as she tackled football legend Marshall Faulk, and attempted to juke defensive tackle Warren Sapp. After watching the viral video, both Faulk and Sapp were wowed by how Sam maneuvered her way out of the bigger boys.
"Because I'm the smallest one out there, plus I'm a girl, and I'm tackling all the biggest guys," she told the NFL players when asked why she preferred playing defense.
And as early as now, many folks are watching out for Sam's future in the football field.

Oh my your cards are beautiful...they are so vintage looking. I wonder whether you bought them or have been collecting them or received them through the years? I just love the look. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and holiday season.
have a lovely day..
Happy Blue Monday
I loved every single one of these! How wonderful they are! Thank you for sharing these with us...

Love your vintage cards. Lovely post today.
Merry Christmas from my house to yours.
Claudie from Canada
We are also getting tons of snow!!!
Oh my I love this stuff!
What lovely Christmas cards. So pretty. We had ornaments on our tree like on the first card too. I miss those days. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas and New Year.
Wow, I just posted with vintage cards on my two blogs! What fun to see each other's cards.
Hello Elizabeth, thank you so much for your kind comment about our Babette. The fireplace photo is one of my favorites. She was very independent and still wanted to be loved and held very often. Oh how we adored her. It took me all day to be able to respond to the comments with out crying. I think we can finally say goodbye to her now.
Your vintage cards are a treasure and I enjoyed every one. I love the quotes as well. I have fond memories of the 1950's as I was a teen in those years. How lucky we were to not have the stress teens have today.
Christmas wishes to you and your family...Jeanne
At first I thought you owned these cards and had saved them for years. Imagine that!
Justine :o )
what true elegance and simplicity there was in the art...i adore it and add to my collection each year...thank you for sharing!
Loved the beautiful cards, but you just had to mention the pink thing, didn't you? :) xxoo
I'm sorry it has been so long since I've visited! I'm feeling a little better each day.
I love seeing all the vintage cards and books! I sure wish I had all the old books that I had as a child.
I also really enjoyed the story about Clement Moore not wanting to take ownership of his story. Very interesting!
Have a very Merry Christmas!
Some of these vintage cards are wonderfully artistic. There is so much personality put in to them.
I suspect the inside of the last one said something about not having shovels big enough to dig out from a "wishdrift".
Or something like that.
Oh Elizabeth great memories of days gone by..I so remember some of these cards from when I was a kid..loved it all...hope you have a safe and blessed Christmas..hugs and smiles Gloria
Hi Elizabeth, I love all the pictures you have of the vintage images. They are so cute. I like to make tags out of vintage pictures like that.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Love, Ann
The cards were wonderful Elizabeth.
Love these cards, Elizabeth!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Those are all so cheery and wonderful.I also really enjoyed the story about Clement Moore not wanting to take ownership of his story. Very interesting!

Comment posted Council Elections: The count by Robert Wakeham.
The 'gloating attitude' displayed by some commentators is just evidence that their utterances are to be taken with a pinch of salt – and that they deserve pity rather than respect.
Robert Wakeham also commented
- Since your Christian name is School I'll believe you.
- Even when used as an adjective (rather than a noun) to describe a language and one that's the native language of a whole lot more countries than just England?
- Correction: grow up or sober up.
- Looks like Simon's acquired a doppelganger.
- Grow up.

Why do you assume that 'anyone' was voting for a political party, rather than for their best local representative? Isn't that a major factor in the current mess? - Big welcome at Campbeltown for new Ardrossan ferry
I wonder if there's scope for WCM to extend any bus routes that could be deemed to 'connect' to the ferry terminal – the current (traditional) Campbeltown bus terminal seems to be conveniently located for the buses but less so for many of the passengers, let alone anyone using the new Ardrossan / Arran ferry link.. - Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
Surely party politics are national politics, dealing with national issues, and as such can often get in the way of resolving the local authority issues that councillors are elected to deal with. - Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll

Beggars Can't be Choosers
This post was submitted anonymously.
The ditching friends post and the comments in that post got me thinking... all I ever see some people on here do is complain about not being able to date anyone. Have they ever thought that after failing so many times it's not the people they are with but themselves and some self traits they need to work on? No, it's always the "significant other" or "person of interest" that's the problem, never the self.Perhaps they have high standards and are searching for something that is too out of reach. If you're having problems finding and keeping people -- try lowering your standards.
After all, beggars can't be choosers and they can't have high expectations. You could obviously, but don't be too disappointed when you're with nothing.
Even giving an open relationship a shot is still keeping someone around for a long time. If you can't even find anyone at all for an open relationship let alone an official relationship, then that might be a problem with yourself not who you date. I always see these posts about other people being the problem; is anyone willing to admit that they have some self issues they need to work on?
Back in the day I had some major self-issues. When I grew up, I became more social with people and am easier to talk to now. You couldn't get a word out of me a few years back. Now, I can strike up a conversation and keep it going for hours sometimes.
Have you noticed this as well? Do you have issues you're not confronting?

Believe it or not, spring isn't always about florals and pastels. More often than not, the best thing about this time of year is trying out something fresh and new. Get inspired by including the hot spring trends that will be making their way into the top boutiques around the country. After all, there's nothing better than celebrating the new season by stepping out in sensational style!
If you're the kind of woman that wants to start the season off with a splash, why not take a chance with a sheer sweater? They're just as fashionable as they are comfortable and are light enough for a casual day around town. You can take a page out of Rebecca Taylor's book and pair one with a sharp blazer or go the demure route and complement them with white and neutral colors like Rag & Bone and Fendi did. Should you decide to take things a step further; you can pair a cropped sheer sweater with a full skirt a la Oscar de la Renta!
Perhaps, you are looking for a way to break out when it comes to your style. The easiest way to make that happen would be with printed shorts, which are huge this spring. Much bolder than the lace and pastels that are normally associated with this time of year, this season's selection offers geometric prints and dizzying designs that would look fabulous on anyone. The high-waisted shorts that dominated the Balmain, Balenciaga, Richard Chai, and Erdem recalled the 50s silhouettes that provide the femininity that epitomizes springtime style.
Another great way to set your style apart from the rest this spring is with a funky bag that jazzes up your look. The season's picks specialize in mixed textures such as snakeskin and leather, which gives you that bang for your buck. Choose a tote such as Fendi's colorblock bag or a saddle bag like Michael Kors' lovely satchel to punch up your neutrals for a fabulous spring look. If color is your go-to trend this spring, you'll find that Diane Von Furstenberg's woven clutch or Emilio Pucci's multicolor clutch bag will add that splash of color that you'll definitely adore!
As spring brings plenty of opportunities to showcase fantastic fashion, you will find that it is easy to incorporate the latest trends into your wardrobe. With just the right amount of help from us at New York Image Consultant, you will definitely look wonderful for the season. You certainly have an incentive to start anew with your spring wardrobe, which will work wonders for you!

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's announcement that he will be a candidate in the 2012 presidential election could pose a problem for President Barack Obama's campaign.
By stepping to the plate with name recognition and political experience, Romney will provide the Republican Party a formidable challenger with national repute, according to reports.
"Romney's strength is in economic issues and that's where President Obama is having his biggest troubles," Michael Fauntroy political analyst at George Mason bUniversity, told the Washington Informer. "So in that regard, you could probably say Romney is the [president's] biggest threat."
Romney, a multimillionaire, faces his second bid for the White House. He has claimed that Obama has failed the country by over-spending and not protecting jobs.
Fauntroy said however, that there will be issues coming against Romney that could make it difficult for him to win the Republican nomination.
"So I'm not certain that in the long run he'll be the nominee,"Fauntroy said.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has also announced his candidacy and Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska – who has held the media captive with her potential candidacy – has yet to say if she will jump in the race.

Is anyone still around or have you all departed for GM?
I have one more day of work to get through and will then be travelling direct to site once I'm done. Even though it's raining heavily where I am - about 20 miles from the site - I'm pretty confident it's blazing sunshine there.
Re: Cardiff. I live there and can confirm it's a very nice city. Big enough to have all the things cities have but small enough to make everything easy to get to.
There is a music scene and it's not bad but it's not great either. As Peridot says the dwindling number of small venues hasn't helped - although MMH should have closed a long time before it did as it was the worst venue I've ever been to. There's a lot going in Bristol though which is only 40mins away.
In closing, ROLL ON THE FOLK AND ALE!!!

More acts at say the Pub stage, instead of them competing with Chai Wallahs and Far Out for DJs. Maybe unsigned acts or some acts doing special second sets.
Maybe I'm just no fun but I don't really like a disco or three and I didn't take a load of fun out of getting drunk and watching experimental cinema (although it made more sense).

Honestly - I'm not Parkes or Wildboar.
I haven't posted or even lurked here in weeks - busy with dreary DIY stuff - so I didn't keep up to date or make the meet-up. I checked the site a day or two before leaving, found out about the ANDWMW T-Shirt and realised I was too late to get one and so thought, "I know I'll just dish out some CDs to anyone wearing one instead" on a whim.
To be honest, I felt a bit self conscious handing them out, rather like how I imagine a shy Jehovah's Witness must feel about going door to door. I handed out ten to chaps (all chaps) wearing the T-Shirt and just left the rest on tables etc. for people to chance upon. Krasnyi was the only person to strike up any conversation with me, so I don't know exactly who got the rest but if you did then I hope you enjoy it.

Was great to meet everyone on Thursday night, and even better to bump into people throughout the weekend.
...Oh yes, an all night disco, very nearly wrecked my weekend. I was so hammered on Friday, went to Pub for Cover to Cover, and Far Out for Horse Meat Disco. Therefore was a little bit poorly on Saturday, only managing to leave tent during the day to forage for food. I did manage to make it in the the festival site for about 6,but I had to take it very easy. You'll al be releived to know that I clawed it back on Sunday.
Such a great weekend though.

I found one of those CDs, well rather my friend did and gave it to me. I haven't given it a listen yet but I definitely will.
I met some really cool people thanks to the T-shirt and hope to see you all again next year.
Had a bit of a weird t-shirt moment on Friday. A girl fell and broke her ankle on the hill right next to us (I can still hear the sound). She was obviously very keen to have her boyfriend comfort her and when we couldn't get him on the phone she said that he was with someone wearing an ANDWMW shirt. Me and my mates scattered and probably spoke to everyone in a green t-shirt on the site in about 5 mins. Everyone except the guy we wanted to find who in the meantime answered his phone and came to the rescue.
If that was your friend then I hope she is feeling better. If I spoke to you in a very panicky manner on Friday afternoon and demanded to know if you had a friend in a flowery dress hopefully this explains that I'm not mental.

Interesting point LM - where were all the band shirts for bands who were actually playing?
In addition to AC / DC and Pink Floyd, I spotted two Iron Maiden T-Shirts F.F.S.!
Ok, I was wearing a Rush T-Shirt but it wasn't ironic - I saw them in concert about a month ago and I'm still proudly sporting the T-Shirt (I'm not a soap-dodger - it has been washed frequently).
Furthermore, where are all the GM T-Shirts? The competition winner sold out, but I didn't notice anyone wearing it. What's THAT all about?
Many moons ago when I was a young 'un I remember that it wasn't considered cool to wear the T-Shirt of the band you were going to see. Inspiral Carpets tonight? Right, put on your Charlatans T-shirt! Stone Roses at Spike Island? There's only one thing to wear - a Happy Mondays T-shirt! Can this still be the case?

I didn't get anywhere near a disco again this year, all night or otherwise. Will try and get to a disco next year maybe. If it's quiet.

John Plumtree sang the praises of returning Springbok back Patrick Lambie, after he played a key role in helping the Sharks finish top of the Currie Cup log.
Playing at flyhalf, Lambie kicked 17 points and was named man-of-the-match following the 42-3 victory at Kings Park, just days after returning from a frustrating spell with the Boks.
The 21-year-old was given just 54 minutes in six games under national coach Heyneke Meyer , but returned by playing a full 80 with his club, the first time he had done so since the Super Rugby Final on August 4.
"I thought Pattie played well tonight," Plumtree said.
"There were one or two things that were a little bit rusty, but I thought he controlled that game beautifully.
"He got that backline going and I thought he was very composed. So it was a nice start for him."
Asked what he thought of Lambie's bench role with the Boks, Plumtree said everyone -- coaches, players, spectators -- saw things differently.
"Pattie's more determined than ever to prove a point, I guess and what better stage to do it than in a semi-final at home next week."
The Sharks dominated their opponents from Kimberley by scoring five tries in total -- Cobus Reinach, Louis Ludik and Lwazi Mvovo all scored in the first half, followed by late efforts from replacements Lubabalo Mtembu and Charl McLeod.
"I thought our defence was excellent, our breakdown work was really good, there was some nice fast ball for the backs," said Plumtree.
"Our scrummaging was solid and ultimately our backs were very sharp.
"In the second half I thought we played some outstanding rugby."
The win not only secured them a home semi-final, but also a final should they get there at a venue where they have lost just once during the Currie Cup over the past three seasons.
"Home ground advantage is fantastic, it's great for our city, it's great for our supporters," Plumtree said.
"But ultimately it doesn't really matter if you're playing against a side that doesn't really care about where they play.
"I'm sure whoever we play against will come to Durban to play in a semi-final with plenty to play for, so it's great to be hosting it,
but it's not the be all and end all."
There was one serious injury concern that emerged from the game after in-form winger Odwa Ndungane hobbled off early in the first half with a leg problem.
"We don't know what it is yet, but we're a little bit worried about it," Plumtree admitted.

Report: Arizona Cardinals, Bruce Arians had dinner Wednesday night
ESPN's Adam Schefter tweeted Arians and the Cardinals had dinner and then continued talks about the coaching vacancy Thursday.
Colts OC Bruce Arians is having dinner in Arizona tonight with Cardinals officials and will continue interviewing with them Thursday.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 17, 2013
NFL.com insider Ian Rapoport was the first to report Wednesday that Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, who was a finalist for the Chicago Bears opening that has since been filled by Marc Trestman, would visit with Arizona on Thursday.
Arians was the Indianapolis Colts' offensive coordinator this past season, though he was the team's head coach for 12 games while Chuck Pagano was battling leukemia. The Colts went 9-3 under Arians.
Before this season, though, Arians was the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now 60, he helped the team reach two Super Bowls -- winning one -- and was a favorite of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Arians will follow Ray Horton, Jay Gruden, Todd Haley and Darrell Bevell as candidates who have interviewed with the team in the Valley.

Spaghetti Strap Beaded Lace Slim A-Line Gown Style 2681
exactly what I wanted!
I wanted a lace wedding dress. I am from England, and the style reminds me of the 1920's evening dresses. It has two layers of satin, and the top layer is lace with beads and sequins. It is beautiful and delicate. I got married on the beach and the train did not get covered in sand. It still looks new. My husband, and everyone at the wedding said I looked beautiful. I had David's Bridal sew a loop on the train so I could attach it to one of the buttons at the back of the dress. So, in the photos I wear it with a train, or a bustle at the back. I am very happy with my purchase.
May 9, 2012
My sister purchased this dress for her wedding and it was just beautiful. It did not look cheap or poorly made; instead the beading made the bridal photos just lovely.
December 24, 2011
Poor Quality
This dress looks very pretty online, but in person is very cheaply made. It looks delicate here but is covered with cheap plastic beads. I showed it to my fiance and his only reaction was "uh, it's kinda busy" which is not really apparent in the photo!

Fall Cardigan Roundup
Whether you wear it over a t-shirt or collared-shirt, under a blazer or puffy jacket (what?!), the cardigan is one of those all-purpose fall staples that you can never own too many of – the sweater curse be damned. Thinner versions are great layering pieces, and combined with a suit and tie, make for smart and stylish office attire. We also love the chunkier solid knits that can be pulled over skinny jeans or sweatpants for a casual stroll in the park with your dog.
We're struggling to find a quality shot of a cardigan and suit, so this is close enough (it's actually a suit jacket with a cardigan insert). We'll leave it to you to devise your own look – don't be hesitant, it's not that far from wearing a 3-piece suit. Just don't match the sweater color identically with the suit, and wear with a 2-button jacket to get the maximum effect.

Collegiate athletics programs like Florida State depend upon private donations to help balance their athletic budget. Like many other programs, who use ticket priority as an incentive for donations, FSU has established a ticket priority policy to allocate football and basketball tickets as fairly as possible. Doak Campbell Stadium and the Tucker Center are divided into priority and non priority sections. Tickets in the priority sections are reserved for those fans who help fund the athletics budget with tax-deductible contributions to Seminole Boosters. Tickets may be purchased in the non-priority sections without a donation.

Accueil très agréable, tout était conforme à la présentation sur le site. Nous sommes ravis d'avoir choisi cet emplacement dans un quartier calme, et sécurisant. De plus, l'appartement est bien desservi par les bus, directs sur la plage, ou les principaux centres d'intérêts. En résumé, ...nous sommes très contents d'avoir choisi cet appartement un peu à l'écart et la terrasse sensoleillée jusqu'à 16 heures est agréable. Rien de négatif à signaler sur notre séjour Merci à Lourdes !
Appartement situé dans un quartier calme de Barcelone. Situé prêt de deux métro, épicerie (même le dimanche), café internet et restaurant. Plusieurs beaux parcs proches. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour dans cet appartement et la propriétaire est très sympathique elle parle un bon français.
very good house. el piso està muy bien. appartamento molto bello.
fantastic landlady, very helpful. location was great.
The apartment was fine, a little bit far, so quite a hike! It suited the photos and was clean. Interesting on a price point of view and the property owner was rather nice.
A few things would have made a big difference:extra pil lows (there were virtually none), stereo (There was no CD player or way to use IPOD), DVD (there was no way to play movies), comfortable seating for the terrace, a few basic spices. Apartment was very nice but with a few relatively inexpensive additions could have been a lot nicer visit.
the landlady was very kind helpful and generous. the appartment was super and very quiet situated. we had a pleasent time there. we would recommend the appaerment
Al check in l'appartamento non era pronto nonostante la ns e-mail indicasse esattamente l'orario di arrivo. Per il check out abbiamo mandato la mattina antecedente la partenza un sms alla proprietaria per avvisarla che saremmo partiti alle 7:00 chiedendo un riscontro per la riconsegna delle chiavi ...e la restituzione del deposito cauzionale; l'abbiamo fatto anche via e-mail da un internet point in centro città: nessuna risposta. La sera dopo mezzanotte, quando siamo rientrate, la proprietaria è apparsa sulla porta dandoci l'ok. Forse rispondere ad un sms costava troppo !?!?!?!?! A mio avviso il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccessivo. Inoltre, l'appartamento puzzava di "chiuso", come se non fosse stato usato da tempo. Insomma, ci aspettavamo di meglio . . .
The apartment is really clean. We had internet and everything else we needed but it was a bit away from the city centre.
Just add your question in the comments box below and we'll get back to you very soon.

Genkotsu, the Japanese word for fist, is an appropriate name for the Fanuc M-1iA and M-3iA robots. These parallel-link robots are as compact and dexterous as a human hand.
The Genkotsu robots offer exceptional material handling and assembly solutions. Easily mounted to the ceiling, they are space-efficient and flexible. The M-1iA weighs just 17kg with a payload capacity of 0.5kg. The larger M-3iA has a mass of 153kg and 6kg payload.
The standard M-1iA/0.5A and M-3iA/6A robot models are constructed with six axes of flexibility, three of which are located in the wrist itself.
Variations with four axes of motion and single axis wrists are also available. The 4-axis robots (M-1iA/0.5S and M-3iA/6S) provide a level of stability that makes them suitable for pick and place and light palletizing jobs.
Fanuc Genkotsu robots work at top speeds. The M-1iA/0.5A can move 3,000 degrees each second. It is surpassed in speed by the 4-axis M-3iA/6S - capable of moving 4,000 degrees per second.
Interested in a Fanuc Genkotsu robot or another delta-style model? Call RobotWorx at 740-251-4312 for pricing and availability.

Vehicle Information
Nissan's Murano stands out as offering one of the most stylish, best-trimmed, and best-appointed interiors from a non-luxury brand, with warm, soft-touch materials and color choices than make some other mainstream-brand crossover models seem drab.The Murano's powertrain, while not overtly sporty, is one of the smoothest and strongest in the segment--great for getting ahead at stoplights and making safe, quick passes on the highway. Ride quality is pretty impressive, especially with the standard 18-inch wheels-- it feels comfortable without being too floaty. This equates to confident handling without fatigue on longer drives.

Agriculture & Food
Most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. A family's plot of land has to provide for their nutritional and economic needs.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced.
Distributing food is necessary in times of crisis, and we always try to procure food from local suppliers to save money, ensure faster delivery and support of the local economy. Learn more about the success of this model in Niger (PDF) ▸
In addition to emergency responses, we quickly focus on long-term solutions that strengthen harvests and livestock for the long-term. Mercy Corps works with families to ensure quality inputs, smart land use, good crop yields and a fair price at local markets.

Westchester restaurant owner raised in the business
Paul Gattuso of Westchester is the owner of Paul's Pizza and Hot Dogs in Westchester. | Ryan Pagelow~Sun-Times Media
Facts to go
What: Paul's Pizza and Hot Dog
Where: 3044 Wolf Road, Westchester
When: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Saturday
Phone: (708) 531-9080
Article Extras
Updated: December 2, 2012 6:02AM
WESTCHESTER — Paul's Pizza and Hot Dog recently celebrated its 30th anniversary.
And customers are not surprised the Westchester restaurant is successful.
"Excellent food, always tastes good, always plenty of it, service is fast," said Western Springs resident Rich Ricar.
The Karavitis family from Westchester has been visiting Paul's for about five years. Ann Karavitis' children, Angie and Torie, both enjoyed the food.
"I like the food," said Angie, who said the chili cheese dog is good.
"I like the service and how the people you order to are really nice," said Torie, whose favorite is the pizza.
Owner Paul Gattuso, who is also a Westchester village trustee, said he dreamed of his own business at age 14, when he worked for his aunt at Ambrogio's Restaurant at Belmont and Oak Park in Chicago.
"He would do everything. He was a bus boy, a cook; he'd make pizza," recalled his aunt, Angela Ambrogio. "He'd be on my side all the time, learning."
Gattuso bought his first restaurant when he was 19 and then sold that store to buy Paul's Pizza on Sept. 22, 1982. It was originally on the corner of Downing and 31st in Westchester, but for the past 11 years has been in the shopping center on Wolf Road and 31st Street.
"I remember the first day we started with no people coming in so we put a piece of sausage on the grill to make the smell go outside and everybody lined up to come in for sandwiches," Ambrogio said.
Gattuso's girlfriend, Andrea Carlino, said his hard work ethic and his treatment of his customers and employees are behind the success.
"Anybody could boil some pasta. Anybody could steam a hot dog," said Carlino. "It's him. It's how he treats his people. They know he'll go leaps and bounds for them."
Gattuso's daughter, Christina, who worked at Paul's when she was younger, said her father always instilled in her to follow her dreams. Her dreams now are to start a business of her own or take over her dad's one day.
Gattuso said he would like to open a second location in another area that is more of a sit down restaurant. For now, though, he said he loves every minute of running Paul's Pizza and Hot Dog.
"It's been wonderful," Gattuso said. "We have a great town, great people in it. We have such wonderful customers; it's like one big family there."

If you do endure some skin damage from the harsher elements in a wicked twist of fate (like getting stuck on a ski lift for an hour), there's a great variety of all-natural balms that can help bring you back to your old self, including Strong Skin and Badger Balm.
And if you follow all our tips and still wrestle with the damaging effects of dry air, acquire a small humidifier and use it while you sleep. It'll help bring a touch of welcome humidity to the room and repair the day's damage of dryness all while you sleep.
