Wet 'n' Wild nail polishes are my HG! I've found the colors to be vibrant and relatively long-lasting (especially compared to other polishes I've tried by Maybelline, Revlon, etc.). Also, there are a variety of colors for sale to suit any taste. Plus, the price can't be beat. Finally, I recommend using two coats with these nail polishes. I've found that one coat is too sheer for my liking and three coats results in an application that is too thick and likely to peel. UPDATE: I tried OPI nail polish and it only lasted two days which is a little longer than Wet 'n' Wild but at a much higher price -- so I still think Wet 'n' Wild is a better buy and outperforms other nail polishes for the money.

I cant complain about a nail polish company that offers so many wonderful colors for next to nothing, however I can say that you do get what you pay for. These are my HG when it comes to matching a certain outfit for the perfect tied together look, which I do ALOT. Therefore I dont want to spend loads of $$$. However I usually take the color off within a day or so because the colors chip off the nail like crazy. And one thing I HATE is having nails with chipped color...its SOOO TACKY! BUT if you want a higher quality product with a little less variety save up some $$$ and start an O.P.I collection. :o)

Wet N Wild polish is great- I need a ton of variety, so I don't want to spend a lot. The only downside is the quality is pretty cheap also- these colors CHIP!! You MUST seal with a higher end top coat to make the color last. They can't stand on their own, not even for a day. But they have a permanent place on my vanity simply because the price lets me collect all of the colors of the rainbow!

I love wnw nail polishes, they are cheap and have a good variety of colors. They don't streak or are lumpy like other nail polishes I have tried. They dry with a nice, smooth finish. I use their basecoat + nail polish+ their no chip top coat and my polish lasts without much chipping until I remove it. Great product for the price.

When it comes to nail polish I'm not picky about it in the least. I saw these at Wal-Mart (the Wild Shine kind) for a buck each and bought like ten of them. Lol. I was kinda scared that they'd be super sheer, but surprisingly, they actually go on really dark. My favorites are Burgundy Frost and Sapphire Blue, both very dark rich colours that you would never guess are WnW. They do chip pretty fast, I havn't tried them with a clear top coat tho, that might help abit. But yeah, I like these, you can do alot with them.

with these polishes i find that different colors have different consistancies. The whites (just dont get them) are dry too slowly, are tacky and go on thick and gloppy while certain others such as red red are amazing. its a true red that goes on smoothly in one coat and dries quickly to a smooth finish. i guess its really hit or miss, but Red Red is an excellent polish color and can last a week when paired with a top coat. Also at 99 its a bargain.

Back in the days when unusual nail polish colors were scarce, I could always count on Wet n' Wild Blue Denim (415B) to make my nails stand out. As far as I know, no other brand makes a color quite like it - inky navy with a little shimmer.
These days, I tend to wear deep reds, Vamp, and sheer pinks, but I still reach for my Blue Denim (now called Denim Chrome) when I'm in the mood for something a bit more interesting. My latest bottle is from the new Wild Shine line, but it seems the same as the old formula.
Without a base and topcoat, it chips a lot, but if you're diligent about maintaining your manicure, it will last about a week.

everything about this polish is ok except for the fact that it chips immediately. the colors are good, the price is fab, the consistency is thin and easy to apply, although you do need 2-3 coats to get the true color. but once i've spent the time to apply 3 coats of nailpolish carefully to get a good look, it's not worth it to me (even if the price is super cheap) to have it ruined by the end of one day. i'd rather spend a few dollars more for a lasting manicure, so i would not repurchase.

Electrically pumped random lasing (RL) has been realized in FTO/porous insulator/n-ZnO/p+-Si devices. It is demonstrated that RL originates from the confining and recurrent scattering of light in the random cavities within the insulating layer, which are formed due to the glow discharge. The glow discharge also induces the observed negative differential resistance (NDR) effect following the normal I-V characteristics. The results present a new strategy to realize electrically pumped RL in ZnO-based metal-insulator-semiconductor device by simply modifying the morphology of the insulating layer.
1. Introduction
Short-wavelength semiconductor lasers have raised considerable attention due to the potential applications in high capacity data storage, display, and lighting [1]. ZnO, as a wide band gap (Eg = 3.37 eV) semiconductor material with a high exciton-binding energy of 60 meV, shows promising prospects in realizing the low-threshold laser at room temperature [2]. The lasing mechanisms of ZnO-based nanostructures can be mainly classified into two catalogues, i.e. the cavity-lasing and the random-lasing [3]. The random-lasing (RL) is particularly attractive compared to the cavity-lasing due to its board angular distribution that are suitable for lighting and display application, as well as its easy realization [4]. Since the discovery of the optically pumped RL in zinc oxide polycrystalline films [5], much attention has been focused on the investigation of ZnO-based RL [6, 7]. Compared with the optically pumped RL, the electrically pumped lasing is more desirable. In 2006, Leong et al. [8] demonstrated the first electrically pumped RL in heterostructural p–i–n junctions using patterned ZnO–SiO2 nanocomposite film as the light-emitting layer. Later, Ma et al. presented a new strategy to realize electrically pumped RL through a Au/SiOx/ZnO metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure on Si substrate [9]. Regarding the formation mechanism of RL in MIS structure, it is generally believed that the recurrent scattering of light among the grain boundaries of the ZnO polycrystalline film accounts for it [4, 9]. As a result, the light scattering capability of the ZnO layer, which is determined by its morphology, is crucial in realizing RL. For example, Tian et al. [10] have demonstrated that the light scattering in sol-gel derived ZnO film is better than the sputtered one, which is favorable for the formation of electrically pumped RL. As a viable alternative to realize the RL action, however, the insulating layer may also be designed properly with certain morphology to function as the light confining and scattering cavities.
Herein, the electrically pumped RL has been realized from FTO/porous insulator/n-ZnO/p+-Si devices. The porous morphology of the insulating layer was proved to account for the RL, which presents a new strategy to realize the electrically pumped RL in MIS devices. In addition, our devices show a remarkable negative differential resistance (NDR) effect under sufficiently high forward bias following a normal I-V characteristic. Although the NDR effect was already observed in some cases [11], the mechanism still remains an open issue. We think the glow discharge is responsible for the observed NDR effect in our devices.
2. Experiment
The ZnO films were fabricated on 1cm*1cm sized p+-Si (111) substrates via a simple hydrothermal method. Prior to the growth of ZnO films, thin ZnO seed layers with a thickness of around 30 nm were pre-deposited onto the substrates by magnetron sputtering. Then, the substrates were annealed at 550 °C in air for 1 h to improve the crystallinity of the seed layers. Afterwards, the substrates were put into a glass bottle filled with solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn(NO3)2•6H2O) and methenamine (C6H12N4) in equal concentration of 0.05 M or 0.1 M. The reaction was kept at 95 °C for 2 h in an oven. After growth, the samples were rinsed with deionized water and dried. Finally, they were annealed at 400 °C in air for 1 h to promote the crystallization of the ZnO film.
The structure of the light-emitting devices is schematically illustrated in Fig. 1(a). Firstly, 150 nm thick Al electrode was deposited on the back of the Si substrates by magnetron sputtering as the bottom electrode, and the samples were rapid-annealed at 500 °C in N2 atmosphere for 1 min to obtain ohmic contact between Al and Si. Then, a layer of transparent insulating material (Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or spin on glass (SOG)) with a thickness of around 50 nm was spin-coated on the surface of the ZnO film. Subsequently, the samples were either annealed at 200 °C for 30 min (in the case of PMMA) or at 500 °C for 1 h (in the case of SOG) in air to solidify the insulating layer. At last, a piece of FTO glass was directly contacted with the top surface of the sample as the top transparent electrode.
Fig. 1
The morphology of the samples was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, KYKY-3200) and field-emission SEM (FESEM, Hitachi S-4800). The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) measurements were carried out on a spectrometer (Edinburgh Instruments, FLS 920). For the PL measurement, a Xe lamp with the exciting wavelength of 300 nm was used as the excitation source. To acquire the EL spectra, the devices were applied with forward bias utilizing a Keithley 2400 source meter, with the positive voltage connected to the bottom Al electrode.
3. Results and discussions
The typical top-view SEM image of the as-grown ZnO film with the precursor concentration of 0.05 M is shown in the inset of Fig. 1(b). The film is composed of discrete ZnO nanocolumns with the diameter of around 200 nm and the height of 1.5 μm. Figure 1(b) shows the typical PL spectrum of the ZnO film. It is composed of three emission peaks, i.e. the ultraviolet (UV), blue and orange emission peaks. The UV emission can be attributed to the near-band-edge emission, while the orange emission may originate from the oxygen interstitial defect that is commonly observed in hydrothermal grown ZnO samples [12]. The origin of the blue peak is not clear yet, and it has also been observed in the PL spectra of ZnO nanoparticles grown by pulsed laser irradiation in solution [13]. Considering that we do not find this peak in the thermal evaporation grown ZnO nanowires that we reported before [14], we speculate that it might also be related with the defect induced by the oxygen-rich hydrothermal growth environment.
The EL spectra of the ZnO film with PMMA as the insulating layer are shown in Fig. 2. At low bias voltage, the spectrum is dominated by the yellow peak centered at round 575 nm, while the intensity of UV peak at 406 nm is relatively weak. We believe that this can be attributed to the spontaneous emission at the interface of the n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction [15, 16]. It is noted that the EL spectra of our device are clearly different from its PL spectrum, which is due to the fact that EL is an interfacial process while PL probes the bulk property of the material [16]. With the further increase of the applied voltage, however, there is a sudden decrease of the current from above 200 mA to about 3 mA, nearly two orders of magnitude. At the same time, discrete sharp peaks with very narrow line-width (less than 0.1 nm) begin to emerge in the spectra. The spectra are very similar to RL, but considering that the spontaneous emission should also be observable in addition to the stimulated emission for a typical RL, they can hardly be regarded as RL. Moreover, the life-time of the emission is quite short. Its intensity will drop over an order of magnitude in a few seconds. Therefore, they are more like glow discharge spectra [17], and the magnitude of the current (several mA) is consistent with that of glow discharge. We have also changed the insulating layer from PMMA to SOG, and observed similar phenomenon. Hence, the glow discharge instead of the commonly observed RL occurred in our MIS devices.
Fig. 2
During the EL measurement, we observed the formation of a layer of white substance on FTO at the same time of the current drop. When the FTO glass was detached from the sample, it could be clearly seen that the white substance firmly attached on both the FTO glass and the sample. The typical top-view SEM images of the FTO glass and SiOx-coated ZnO film before the EL measurement are shown in Figs. 3(a) and 3(b), respectively. Figures 3(c) and 3(d) are the top-view SEM images of the white substance on both the FTO glass and the ZnO film after the glow discharge when SOG was used as the insulating layer. It clearly shows that the white substance forms porous pattern on the FTO glass, and the feature size between walls is about several micrometers as shown in Fig. 3(c). In addition, Fig. 3(d) shows that the thin SiOx(x<2) layer we have coated on the ZnO film also has changed to porous and rough structure after the glow discharge. Hence, we can conclude that the white pattern on the FTO glass was formed during the EL measurement. Considering the glow discharge phenomenon we have observed, the SiOx porous pattern was most probably formed due to the sputtering of SiOx onto the FTO glass from the insulating layer during the discharge process. Interestingly, the obtained SiOx pattern was porous with numerous random cavities, which may formed due to the fact that the ZnO film we used was composed of discrete ZnO nanocolumns with high surface roughness, and the protrusion parts are more likely to be sputtered onto the FTO. Due to the unique morphology of the porous pattern, it is possible to use it as the random resonant cavities to realize RL.
Fig. 3
To testify the above assumption, we prepared the lighting-emitting devices using the PMMA or SiOx porous pattern attached FTO glass, which was formed during the previous EL measurements, to contact the ZnO films, and their EL property is investigated. Besides, device with bare FTO glass was also tested as a reference. In order to prevent the direct contact between ZnO nanocolumns and FTO through the porous insulating pattern, we used the ZnO film fabricated with the precursor concentration of 0.1 M in this case, which is composed of ZnO nanocolumns that merge together with each other to form a continuous film, and the corresponding plan-view SEM image is shown in the inset of Fig. 4(a). Figure 4(a) shows the EL spectra of the device when the bare FTO glass was used. The spectra are quite analogous with those shown in Fig. 2 under low bias voltage, and no RL could be observed with the increase of the driving voltage and current. This might be due to the fact that the ZnO layer used in this case is a continuous film with few grain boundaries, therefore its light scattering capacity is not sufficient enough to induce the RL. However, when we put exactly the same sample on the PMMA porous pattern attached FTO glass and measured its EL spectra, we observed discrete sharp peaks emerge in the UV area of the spectra at high bias voltage (Fig. 4(b)). In contrast to the situation shown in Fig. 2, there is no sudden current drop in this case. Besides, the spontaneous emission and the sharp peaks appear simultaneously, which suggests the observed spectra are RL instead of glow discharge. Moreover, we find that the position of the emission peaks varies from different runs of scanning during the EL measurements, which further verifies RL action. In the case of using SiOx porous patternattached FTO glass, the device behaved in a similar way and the corresponding EL spectra are shown in Fig. 4(c). Moreover, we also put the SiOx coated ZnO film onto the SiOx porous pattern attached FTO glass and the corresponding EL spectra are shown in Fig. 4(d). It can be seen that the spectra also exhibit similar RL characteristics as those shown in Figs. 4(b) and 4(c). These results validate that the random cavities within the insulating pattern play an important role in the formation of RL.
Fig. 4
Based on the above experimental results, the whole light-emitting process of our devices can be understood according to the energy band alignment, as is shown in Fig. 5(a). Under the forward bias condition, the holes are injected from the p+-Si substrate into the ZnO layer, while the electron are mainly injected into the ZnO layer via the impact ionization process in the insulating layer under high electric field [18]. When the bias voltage is low, due to the large valance band offset between p+-Si and ZnO, the energy barrier is too large for the holes to be injected into the valance band of ZnO, Therefore, the holes are mainly injected into the defect energy level in the band gap of ZnO, and combine with the electrons in the conduction band to emit the visible light. With the increase of the bias voltage to a certain value, the holes possess enough energy to overcome the valance band offset between p+-Si and ZnO and can also be injected into the valance band of ZnO. In addition, the energy band of ZnO will severely bend upward at the ZnO/insulating layer interface, which results in a hole accumulation layer there. So the holes and electrons will combine at this interface leading to the UV emission. The UV emission can be partially confined in the closed-loop random cavities within the insulating layer through recurrent scattering and interference [9]. When the generation rate of photon with certain frequency overcomes its loss during the random walk process due to the scattering, lasing oscillation occurs and results in the sharp RL peaks in the EL spectra with high intensity. This process is schematically illustrated in Fig. 5(b). In previous study, the occurrence of RL was attributed to the light scattering among the ZnO grain boundaries that formed the closed-loop [4, 9]. In this case, however, it is the porous insulating layer that behaves as the random resonator cavities to facilitate the formation of RL, since RL could be observed only after the insulating layer became porous.
Fig. 5
The results point out that the RL can be realized in MIS structure by simply changing the morphology of the insulating layer. In fact, it is expected that the porous insulating pattern can be intentionally fabricated using the common photolithography method to replace the solid insulating film, which may become a viable manner to realize RL in the future.
4. Conclusion
In conclusion, electrically pumped RL has been realized in FTO/porous insulator/n-ZnO/p+-Si devices. It is believed that RL originates from the confining and recurrent scattering of light in the closed-loop random cavities within the insulating layer, which are formed due to the glow discharge. The glow discharge is also thought to be responsible for the observed NDR effect. The results here present a new strategy to realize the electrically pumped UV RL, and may provide more insights into its formation mechanism.

There has been an increase in the number of people seeking cosmetic surgery on their ears in the US, it has been revealed.
The trend, which is likely to quickly make its way over the pond to the UK, highlights the fact that consumers are increasingly seeking ways to improve every aspect of their body.
Already, cosmetic surgeons in the UK are being asked to perform procedures such as earlobe plumping or reduction, the Guardian reports.
London-based Dr Rita Rakus, an expert in non-surgical cosmetic procedures, told the newspaper: "I have noticed an increase.
"It can be part of the total package in making you look a bit younger and in particular it can bother women who wear their hair back."
Earlobe plumping uses an injected filler such as Restylane and costs around £400, while lobe reduction is a rather more expensive surgical procedure, with surgeons charging from £1,000 upwards.
New figures from the Harley Medical Group suggest that demand for botox fillers increased by 51 per cent in 2007

Big changes for NSW stamp-duty regime
By Nathan Deveson and Daniele Rostirolla
Significant changes to the current New South Wales (NSW) stamp-duty regime are expected following the introduction of the State Revenue Legislation Further Amendment Bill 2014 into Parliament on 29 May 2014 and the release of the state budget on 17 June 2014.
The duty treatment of nominations under options will change, resulting in more duty payable. The new provisions are likely to result in the commissioner paying more attention to the value of land at the time options are exercised, in particular where the value of the land is greater than the option exercise price.
These new rules apply in addition to the existing provisions relating to put and call options…

Cesare Prandelli claims his team's foundations are Antonio Cassano and Mario Balotelli.
Cassano has earned a wave of praise from fans and critics, but most importantly the coach sees him as the archetypal player for his team.
"I hope to recover Balotelli, as the idea is to create a team around him, Cassano and a centre-forward," Prandelli told the press at Coverciano following Tuesday night's win over the Faroe Islands.
The coach was afforded the perfect start to his Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, taking maximum points from the first two games.
And while some argue that Estonia and the Faroe Islands are not the touchstone with which to be measured, Prandelli has clear views on his team's potential.
"There was a will to get back to knowing la Nazionale and relate to it. It was strange to see Italy around the world and not being applauded. Something was wrong, but now we are taking steps towards the people.
"The fans showed great enthusiasm and we repaid that."

FOMC expected to stay the course

FOMC expected to stay the course
Doug Christman
April 30, 2014 – The Federal Open Market Committee will conclude its two-day meeting on monetary policy today and is expected to stay on its current course of tapering in its monthly asset purchase program.
NAFCU Research Assistant Doug Christman said the FOMC is likely to reduce monthly asset purchases by another $10 billion going forward, as it has done in previous meetings. Current indications also point to the Fed leaving the federal funds rate at the 0 to 0.25 percent target range for now, he added. The committee will issue a statement at 2 p.m. Eastern.
After its last meeting in March, the FOMC
the Fed would slow its purchase of additional agency mortgage-backed securities to a pace of $25 billion a month and longer-term Treasury securities to a pace of $30 billion per month, down from $30 billion and $35 billion, respectively.

Cutting the wrong test at the wrong time
ACG, AGA, and ASGE Presidents wrote an article in KevinMD about the meaningful and measurable progress made against colorectal cancer incidence and the danger in reduced reimbursement. KevinMD.com (8/8/14)
Updated guidance to help IBS sufferers
For the 5 to 15 percent of Americans who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, managing chronic symptoms — constipation, diarrhea, gas, and abdominal pain — can be an exercise in frustration. Contradictory advice from doctors, nutritionists, and well-meaning friends, on which foods to avoid or which supplements or medications to take, can drive IBS sufferers crazy. Boston Globe (8/7/14)
New Review Suggests Psyllium, Probiotics, Antidepressants May Be Best for IBS
Guidelines from the American College of Gastroenterology will have IBS patients and their doctors questioning what they thought they knew about keeping gut symptoms under control. Healthline (8/8/14)
ACG Partners with AGA, ASGE on "Value of Colonoscopy"
ACG has joined with AGA and ASGE on an important initiative, The Value of Colonoscopy: Saving Lives Through Expert Care, to further highlight the value of colonoscopy and the gastroenterologists who perform this life-saving procedure. Visit valueofcolonoscopy.org to learn more.
Diet Changes Can Alter Gut Bacteria, Study Says
Dietary changes can dramatically alter the balance of bacteria in the gut on a daily basis, according to a new study. These fluctuations could lead to monitoring systems that might help detect and ease flare-ups for people with certain chronic illnesses, such as inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), the researchers said. HealthDay (7/25/14)
Probiotic Logic vs. Gut Feelings
In an extensive review of the evidence published in 2010 in the journal Pediatrics, an expert committee concluded that probiotics might limit the course of virus-caused diarrhea in otherwise healthy infants and children. But the committee said there was not sufficient evidence to justify routine use of probiotics to prevent rotavirus-caused diarrhea in child care centers. Nor did the committee endorse taking probiotics during pregnancy and nursing or giving them to infants to prevent allergic disorders in those at risk. NYT (7/21/14)
ACG updates guidelines for managing benign anorectal disorders
The American College of Gastroenterology has released new guidelines on the management of benign disorders of anorectal function and/or structure, updated with research data through 2013. Healio (7/7/14)
New guideline warns physicians about risks of some supplements
The American College of Gastroenterology released a new guideline this week warning physicians about the risks of supplements and how to counsel patients about their use. Most patients recover after going off the drugs or supplements with proper medical care that was outlined in the guidelines, but some may go into permanent liver failure that requires a liver transplant to treat. Boston Globe (6/19/14)
Herbal Remedies, Common OTC Medications Can Hurt the Liver
Many non-prescription and herbal medications can damage the liver, researchers warn. The American College of Gastroenterology just released guidelines on managing idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Daily RX (6/17/14)
Heartburn meds not working? You might be taking them wrong
If you take over-the-counter remedies to deal with your heartburn woes on a regular basis, and the medication doesn't seem to be working, this might be why: You're probably not taking them the way you're supposed to, according to a study conducted by researchers at MetroHealth Medical Center.
The study, published Wednesday in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, found that 61 percent aren't getting the full benefit of the drugs because they're not taking them the right way – right before a meal, with that first meal being breakfast. Cleveland.com (6/6/14)

commercial property for rent or lease in Maryneal (TX), Industrial Space For Lease.
Maryneal commercial real estate for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Maryneal industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Maryneal warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Some Maryneal commercial businesses may be more productive and efficient if they have adequate office area. In some areas the monthly lease on such Maryneal areas can very often make up a substantial amount of a small company's budget. Sometimes its feasible to share facilities like conference rooms with other Maryneal tenants, to reduce costs. Consider different options before taking out a long-term lease on a large workplace when the possibility may exist that your Maryneal business could outgrow the areas quickly. Consider short-term rentals for companies that are growing and in transition.
While leasing may be short term, less risky, and less expensive than purchasing Maryneal commercial real estate, signing a lease is still a binding and legal document. Seek legal advice before beginning your search for real estate, an experienced attorney in Maryneal real estate law can help you to avoid signing a contract that may be signing you up for un-necessary expenses and liability that could potential harm business. If you lack time to scout and negotiate contract terms, a broker in Maryneal may be a worthy asset to use.
Your long term Maryneal business plan and real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the Maryneal business to be positioned for the best and worst possible scenarios. Define the space you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all your requirements. Will the layout satisfy Maryneal employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new venue be achieved to everyones satisfaction. Consider proximity to Maryneal facilities and amenities such as shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

BP Franchisees Sue Over Gasoline-Supply Prices
NEW YORK— BP PLC service-station franchisees are seeking damages from the parent company for manipulation of gasoline prices and other complaints, in separate lawsuits filed in U.S. federal and California state courts.
In the federal lawsuit, filed last week, the service-station owners alleged BP manipulated gasoline-delivery schedules to charge more for supplies.
Additionally, franchisees alleged they were forced to accept an exclusive vendor contract for automated sales-tracking software that malfunctioned. BP knew about the problems and refused to allow alternate software to be used, franchisees claimed, causing them to lose business.
The franchisees filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and requested a jury trial and unspecified damages.
Separately, a second group of franchisees filed a similar lawsuit Wednesday in California State Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, requesting at least $200 million in damages. That complaint didn't include allegations of wholesale-price manipulation.
A spokesman for BP declined to comment on the pending litigation.

|Key Info
The Old Chapel is an early 19th century stone built methodist chapel. It is a grade two listed building, carefully and tastefully converted into a high quality living space.
The living area is 27 feet by 24f feet, and is on the upper floor. It has fanatastic views of the countryside around it, and is light and airy. There are plenty of comfortable chairs and sofas, and an extensive library area.. The three bedrooms are on the gound floor, one of which is en suite. There is also a family bathroom on the ground floor.
The chapel is well equipped with a laundry room, a cot, plenty of crockery and cutlery.It has a fridge, freezer, microwave. In fact everything you would wish for in your own home. There is a freeview TV, and music facilities.
The village of Bont Dolgadfan is quite small, and the local shop and pub are a mile and a half away. There are many good pubs and restauraunts in the local area, wnd fantastic beaches are only 40 minutes away.
It is an ideal place for walkers. Just go out the front door and turn left or right for a number of super walks to suit any taste. Cader Idris is a short ride away, and Snowdon somewhat further, but well worth the trouble.

The Powys region
Bont Dolgadfan is about two miles from Llanbrynmair, where there is a pub and restauraunt. It is about 12 miles equidistant from the market towns of Llanidloes, Newtown and Machynlleth. They are all worth a visit.
Aberystwyth is about 25 miles away and provides a good array of shops, museums etc, plus a funicular railway. North of Aberystwyth is a kite feeding centre, which is spectacular any time of the year. Near Machynlleth is the Ynis Hir bird sanctuary, where the TV programme Springwatch is filmed. You can visit and see all the sets and sites.
Good Walking from the front door. Easy access to Cader Idris and Snowdonia. Good beaches within easy travel. Lovely pubs and restaurants. Beautiful views from front and back of chapel. Not overlooked. Friendly local village.
