The game source code covers a lot of ground that we did not touch on earlier in this chapter. Let's discuss some of those topics now; the rest will be covered in detail in Chapter 9.
We have used arrays to hold all our logical display objects, and
we have an array for each type of object (rocks
, saucers
, playerMissiles
, saucerMissiles
, and particles
). Each logical display object is a
simple object instance. We have created a separate function to draw and
update each of our objects.
The use of an object class prototype similar to FrameRateCounter
can be implemented easily
for the various display object types. To conserve space, we have not
implemented them in this game. However, these objects would allow us
to separate the update and draw code from the current common
functions, and then place that code into the individual object
prototypes. We have included a Rock prototype at the end of this
chapter as an example (see Example 8-13).
You will notice that saucers and rocks are drawn with points in the same manner as the player ship.
The rocks will be simple squares that rotate clockwise or
counterclockwise. The rock instances will be in the rocks
array. When a new level starts, these
will all be created in the upper-right corner of the game
Here are the variable attributes of a rock
newRock.scale = 1; newRock.width = 50; newRock.height = 50; newRock.halfWidth = 25; newRock.halfHeight = 25; newRock.x newRock.y newRock.dx newRock.dy newRock.scoreValue = bigRockScore; newRock.rotation = 0;
The rock scale will be set to one of the three rock-scale
constants discussed earlier. halfWidth
and halfHeight
will be set based on the scale,
and they will be used in calculations in the same manner as the player
object versions. The dx
values represent the values to
apply to the x and y axes when updating the rock on each frame
Unlike Atari's Asteroids
game, which has both small and large saucers, we are only going to
have one size in Geo Blaster Basic. It will be
stored in the saucers
array. On a
28×13 grid (using paths), it looks like Figure 8-6.
The variable attributes of the saucer
object are very similar to the
attributes of a rock
although without the rock scale
attribute. Also, saucers don't have a rotation; it is always set at
. The saucer also contains
variables that are updated on each new level to make the game more
challenging for the player. Here are those variables, which will be
discussed in more detail in the upcoming section :
newSaucer.fireRate = levelSaucerFireRate; newSaucer.fireDelay = levelSaucerFireDelay; newSaucer.fireDelayCount = 0; newSaucer.missileSpeed = levelSaucerMissileSpeed;
Both the player missiles and saucer missiles will be 2×2-pixel
blocks. They will be stored in the playerMissiles
and saucerMissiles
The objects are very simple. They contain enough attributes to move them across the game screen and to calculate life values:
newPlayerMissile.dx = 5*Math.cos(Math.PI*(player.rotation)/180); newPlayerMissile.dy = 5*Math.sin(Math.PI*(player.rotation)/180); newPlayerMissile.x = player.x+player.halfWidth; newPlayerMissile.y = player.y+player.halfHeight; newPlayerMissile.life = 60; newPlayerMissile.lifeCtr = 0; newPlayerMissile.width = 2; newPlayerMissile.height = 2;
When a rock, saucer, or the player ship is destroyed, that
object explodes into a series of particles. The createExplode()
function creates this
so-called particle explosion. Particles are simply individual logical
display objects with their own life
, dx
and dy
values. Randomly generating
these values makes each explosion appear to be unique. Particles will
be stored in the particles
Like missiles, particle
objects are rather simple. They also contain enough information to
move them across the screen and to calculate their life span in frame
newParticle.dx = Math.random()*3; newParticle.dy = Math.random()*3; newParticle.life = Math.floor(Math.random()*30+30); newParticle.lifeCtr = 0; newParticle.x = x; newParticle.y = y;
Even though we never show the level number to the game player, we
are adjusting the difficulty every time a screen of rocks is cleared. We
do this by increasing the level variable by 1
and then recalculating these values before
the level begins. We refer to the variance in level difficulty as
knobs, which refers to dials or switches. Here are
the variables we will use for these knobs:
Number of rocks
levelRockMaxSpeedAdjust =
Rock max speed
levelSaucerMax =
Number of simultaneous saucers
levelSaucerOccurrenceRate =
Percent chance a saucer will appear
levelSaucerSpeed =
Saucer speed
levelSaucerFireDelay =
Delay between saucer missiles
levelSaucerFireRate =
Percent chance a saucer will fire at the player
levelSaucerMissileSpeed =
Speed of saucer missiles
We need to check for game and level end so we can transition to either a new game or to the next level.
We will check for level end on each frame tick. The function to do so will look like this:
function checkForEndOfLevel(){ if (rocks.length==0) { switchGameState(GAME_STATE_NEW_LEVEL); } }
Once the rocks
array length
is 0
, we switch the state to
We do not need to check for the end of the game on each frame
tick. We only need to check when the player loses a ship. We do this
inside the gameStatePlayerDie()
function gameStatePlayerDie(){ if (particles.length >0 || playerMissiles.length>0) { fillBackground(); renderScoreBoard(); updateRocks(); updateSaucers(); updateParticles(); updateSaucerMissiles(); updatePlayerMissiles(); renderRocks(); renderSaucers(); renderParticles(); renderSaucerMissiles(); renderPlayerMissiles(); frameRateCounter.countFrames(); }else{ playerShips--; if (playerShips<1) { switchGameState(GAME_STATE_GAME_OVER); }else{ resetPlayer(); switchGameState(GAME_STATE_PLAYER_START); } } }
This is the state function that is called on each frame tick
during the GAME_STATE_PLAYER_DIE
state. First, it checks to see that there are no longer any particles
on the screen. This ensures that the game will not end until the
player ship has finished exploding. We also check to make sure that
all the player's missiles have finished their lives. We do this so we
can check for collisions between the playerMissiles
, and for rocks
against saucers
. This way the player might earn an
extra ship before playerShips--
Once the particles
have all left the game
screen, we subtract 1
from the
variable and then
switch to GAME_STATE_GAME_OVER
the playerShips
number is less than
We want to award the player extra ships at regular intervals based on her score. We do this by setting an amount of points that the game player must achieve to earn a new ship—this also helps us keep a count of the number of ships earned:
function checkForExtraShip() { if (Math.floor(score/extraShipAtEach) > extraShipsEarned) { playerShips++ extraShipsEarned++; } }
We call this function on each frame tick. The player earns an
extra ship if the score/extraShipAtEach
variable (with the
decimals stripped off) is greater than the number of ships earned. In
our game, we have set the extraShipAtEach
value to 10000
. When the game starts, extraShipsEarned
is 0
. When the player's score is 10000
or more, score/extraShipAtEach
will equal 1
, which is greater than the extraShipsEarned
value of 0
. An extra ship is given to the player, and
the extraShipsEarned
value is
increased by 1
We will be checking the bounding box around each object when we do our collision detection. A bounding box is the smallest rectangle that will encompass all four corners of a game logic object. We have created a function for this purpose:
function boundingBoxCollide(object1, object2) { var left1 = object1.x; var left2 = object2.x; var right1 = object1.x + object1.width; var right2 = object2.x + object2.width; var top1 = object1.y; var top2 = object2.y; var bottom1 = object1.y + object1.height; var bottom2 = object2.y + object2.height; if (bottom1 < top2) return(false); if (top1 > bottom2) return(false); if (right1 < left2) return(false); if (left1 > right2) return(false); return(true); };
We can pass any two of our game objects into this function as long
as each contains x
, y
, width
and height
attributes. If the two
objects are overlapping, the function will return true
. If not, it will return false
The checkCollision()
for Geo Blaster Basic is quite involved. The full
code listing is given in Example 8-12. Rather than
reprint it here, let's examine some of the basic concepts.
One thing you will notice is the use of "labels" next to the
loop constructs. Using labels
such as in the following line can help streamline collision
rocks: for (var rockCtr=rocksLength;rockCtr>=0;rockCtr--){
We will need to loop through each of the various object types that
must be checked against one another. But we do not want to check an
object that was previously destroyed against other objects. To ensure we
do the fewest amount of collision checks necessary, we have implemented
a routine that employs label and break
Here is the logic behind the routine:
Create a rocks:
label and
then start to loop through the rocks
Create a missiles:
inside the rocks
iteration, and
loop through the playerMissiles
Do a bounding box collision detection between the last rock and the last missile. Notice that we loop starting at the end of each array so that we can remove elements (when collisions occur) in the array without affecting array members that have not been checked yet.
If a rock and a missile collide, remove them from their
respective arrays, and then call break
and then break
. We must break back to the next element in an
array for any object type that is removed.
Continue looping through the missiles until they have all been
checked against the current rock (unless break rocks
was fired off for a
rock/missile collision).
Check each saucer, each saucer missile, and the player against
each of the rocks. The player does not need a label because there is
only a single instance of the player. The saucers
and saucerMissiles
will follow the same logic
as missiles
. If there is a
collision between one and a rock, break back to their respective
labels after removing the objects from their respective
Once we have checked the rocks against all the other game
objects, check the playerMissiles
against the saucers using the same basic logic of loop labels,
looping backward through the arrays, and breaking back to the labels
once objects are removed.
Check the saucerMissiles
against the player in the same manner.
Over the years, we have found this to be a powerful way to check multiple objects' arrays against one another. It certainly is not the only way to do so. If you are not comfortable using loop labels, you can employ a method such as the following:
Add a Boolean hit
to each object and set it to false
when an object is created.
Loop through the rocks
check them against the other game objects. This time the direction
(forward or backward) through the loops does not matter.
Before calling the boundingBoxCollide()
function, be sure
that each object's hit
is false
. If not, skip the
collision check.
If the two objects collide, set each object's hit
attribute to true
. There is no need to remove objects
from the arrays at this time.
Loop though playerMissiles
and check against the saucers
and then loop through the saucers
to check against the player
When all the collision-detection routines are complete, reloop
through each object array (backward this time) and remove all the
objects with true
as a hit
We have used both methods—and variations—on each. While the second method is a little cleaner, this final loop through all of the objects might add more processor overhead when dealing with a large number of objects. We will leave the implementation of this second method to you as an exercise, in case you wish to test it.

In Key West, Fla., there's a wonderful daily tradition of gathering to watch the sunset. And underneath the brilliant painted sky, happy observers clap and cheer as that great bright ball of daylight at last dips below the fiery horizon. Nice, huh? But what those awestruck folks are witnessing is nothing compared to the outrageously sublime view of a seaside sunset when you're snuggled in with a special friend in a finely constructed hammock. The picturesque peacefulness of a vividly setting sun over open water is profoundly amplified when viewed through the haphazard frame of two sets of happy upturned feet, the quintessential symbol of profound relaxation.

Knowing how to make a dovetail will increase the number of woodworking projects that you can consider. A router table reduces the required amount of work to make a dovetail. Carpenters use dovetails for a number of joints, such as those for boxes and drawers. There are many types of dovetail joints including dovetails and hidden dovetails. You can use a router table to make either kind, but the most common are through dovetails.
- Skill level:
- Moderate

Things you need
- Steel ruler
- Router table
- 3/8-inch dovetail bit
- Spacer fence
- Clamp
- 2 1 by 3 by 6-inch walnut boards
Show More
- 1
Set up the router table to make a 1-inch deep cut with the 3/8-inch dovetail bit. This will ensure that the cut goes through the entire thickness of the boards. Use a steel ruler to measure from the table to the top of the router bit. Once it is at the correct height, lock the bit in place.
- 2
Place a 3/8-inch spacer fence so that it is offset 3/8 inch from the edge of the bit. Clamp the spacer fence to the table.
- 3
Route the first dovetail in the end of one of the 1 by 3 by 6-inch walnut boards. Slide the board along the table into the blade until it hits the fence. Slowly back the board out of the blade to make a dovetail cut. Place the routed cut over the spacer fence to make the second cut. Continue making dovetail cuts until you reach the end of the board.
- 4
Route the first dovetail of the second 1 by 3 by 6-inch walnut board in 3/8 inch from the edge. Continue making dovetail cuts until you reach the end of the board. The offset cuts in this board will fit into the cuts in the first board. This will create a perfect through dovetail joint.
Tips and warnings
- Use contrasting boards for end and side pieces. This will accentuate the beauty of a through dovetail joint.
- Wear eye protection when woodworking.
- Follow tool safety precautions for safe operation.

Rebecca's place does exactly 'what it says on the tin'. Cheap and very cheerful, it suited my purpose just fine. South Melbourne is close to the CBD by tram & so the neighbourhood is pretty upmarket, with restaurants etc close by, or the town centre about 10 mins cab ride away. Rebecca was v helpful to me - during a busy work period & helped me orgainse taxis & stuff like that - not expected & warmly appreciated.

It's been great staying at this place. Apart from the fact that it's a little far from the city, everything else was better than expected. The room was clean and spacious and she even placed snacks and books for the renters. The host is very responsive as well.
Eaint Myat Noe2017-02-26T00:00:00ZBeautiful, large open room, really close to all the great nightlife along the docklands. Valerie was fantastic as a hostess and went well above and beyond what could reasonably have been expected of her. The parking was also really helpful. Little bit of a walk into the CBD as the bus service does not run on weekends but a lovely walk along the river none the less. Great spot and would stay again for sure. Thanks Valerie!

The location was perfect, great access to city and PT and close proximity to our family in South Melbourne. It presented really well and had a modern interior, but several of the lights and fans didn't work on the stairs, undercroft to stairs for fridge and pantry and in the bathroom. The place was a bit spartan for items and everything seemed a bit tired and in need of an upgrade. There were no tablets for the dishwasher and only one tea towel in the kitchen that I could locate, i don't really enjoy washing dishes when on holidays!! The beds were comfortable and the linen/towels were new and fluffy. I found the front door extremely hard to unlock and it was only for the grace of the sliding door not operating properly that i could easily enter the front of the property. The inability to lock the sliding door and issues with the door lock highlighted the need for some maintenance and upkeep on the property. Overall the property was nice, but not up to the usual standard of properties that we have used for a cheaper price. For what it offers it doesn't command the high price.
Siobhan2017-03-01T00:00:00ZGreat location everything is on your doorstep. Trams, market, restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops all within easy walk. Comfortable beds and good shower. House is out of city hussle and bustle but so easy ro get to city on a tram
Cathy2016-11-23T00:00:00ZGreat location, easy to get around. Apartment lacked the homely touches you normally expect with an airbnb. Downside of the good location is the street is quite noisy.
Anita2017-03-05T00:00:00ZWhat a fantastic spot. Right next to a gorgeous market and the tram. And I fantastic clean, modern, stylish home. Highly recommended
Cathy2016-12-11T00:00:00ZVery modern house that is a close walk to south melbourne markets and other great restaurants

Walking distance to Southbank and the city, also trams minutes away. Cosy open fire and well stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare meals. The bed was comfortable and warm too! The little garden courtyard to relax in, so gorgeous. Tamasin was a lovely host ... and provided so much information in a guest folder filled with maps timetables and local attractions. Thankyou Tamasin, i would love to stay with you again next time i am in Melbourne.
Carolyn2016-08-14T00:00:00ZTamasin was welcoming, friendly and informative, and made our stay smooth and comfortable. The cottage is full of character, relaxed and well-equipped. We would definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to others! Many thanks Tamasin.
Caroline2016-03-10T00:00:00ZNice home in a quiet street with plenty of street parking. Tamasin was very friendly and easy to make arrangements with. A nice touch was the personal greeting she left on arrival.
Adam2016-05-08T00:00:00ZEmerald Cottage is a fantastic location...close to Melbourne CBD (10 mins by tram) but far enough away to feel like you are away from the rat race. The cottage is quaint, clean and welcoming, and it was great to be able to leave my car in the laneway next door. I enjoyed the little touches like leaf tea for a cuppa and fig jam in the fridge. Thanks for having me.
Jill2016-05-27T00:00:00ZTamasin was very kind and responsive, she had organized everything in the apartment for a warm welcome. Cute and comfortable cottage!
Maaike2016-08-29T00:00:00ZThe cottage was an excellent location for our weeks stay in Melbourne. We travelled to Melbourne by car and having the car space at the cottage was a bonus. It was very cold week we were there but heating in cottage worked well. We did not use open fire as too busy out and about exploring local area and catching tram into Melbourne ( a 10 minute tram ride to art centre precinct ) . We would certainly stay at Emerald cottage again when in Melbourne. Ange( co-host was very easy to contact and prompt in responding) Thankyou Ange
Helen2016-10-24T00:00:00ZEmerald Cottage is an absolute hidden little gem right in the middle of South Melbourne and we had the the most fantastic time there over New Year! Tamasin was a lovely hostess, eager to help if we needed anything and making sure everything was perfect when we arrived. Our two little dogs loved it and it was great having the enclosed courtyard to the side of the house along with a park just at the end of the street. South Melbourne market was a short walk away and the trams were close and it was a short ride to the beach or into CBD. We loved it and will definitely be booking there again next time we are in Melbourne.

Tracey es una buena anfitriona, hizo todo lo posible para que nuestra llegada fuera fácil.
Jesus2016-08-21T00:00:00ZThe location is excellent with easy access to the trams and the South Melbourne Market. Wifi has a good speed. The room is peaceful and in a very quiet street. We didn't notice any traffic noise despite overlooking the street. Ideal for or short stay in Melbourne.
Morris2016-12-07T00:00:00ZTracy's place is awesome for both business and leisure. It's convinent to the CBD and public transport for you need to go anywhere. It even has parking just outside. Tracy was extremely helpful and even kindly dropped me to the city on her way. I took an uber back only costing $7!
Akash2017-02-06T00:00:00ZTracey went out of her way to accommodate my arrival. The room and apartment are just as described, great size, lovely ensuite, quiet and beautiful area close to the market and great cafes. Very easy to get to from the Southern Cross Station, great directions provided. I was traveling for work and Tracey understood the needs of holiday visitors and work visitors. Lovely cup of tea and brownie! I would recommend staying with Tracey and her exceptional daughter, Jasmine.
Julie2015-02-25T00:00:00ZTracey is a wonderful host. Even though we got there in the winter, Tracey kindly provided heater to keep us warm and comfortable. The location of the house is perfect. It's really close to South Melbourne Market and we went there every day. The neighbourhood is quite and 10 minutes Tram away from CBD. We enjoyed every minute staying at Tracey's place. I will recommend to everyone.
yang2015-08-05T00:00:00ZTracey was a wonderful host, she was very helpful and friendly. She was in contact with me helping me to arrive at her place from the airport with little fuss and was very accommodating with whatever I needed. The place was super clean and modern and a very private and comfortable room. I'd definitely stay with her and her daughter again and look forward to my next visit to Melbourne with hopefully more time to leisurely stroll the markets and surrounding streets around her. Super cool area and amazing AirBnB stay!! Thank you Tracey, you made my trip home away from home.
Bianca2015-03-30T00:00:00ZIt has a spacious room and clean bathroom. And Tracey is kind.
Shingo2016-10-18T00:00:00ZGreat Host! Fantastic location! Great room! Tracey was really nice and easy going and flexible with my check in and check out. The room was cosy and clean and the bed was super comfy. I really enjoyed my stay and highly recommend it.

We loved our stay at Maya's apartment which was well designed and very well located, close to the beach and shops, in a lovely area. Maya left plenty of empty space to store our belongings and set up like our own home - important when you have a baby who has more luggage than her parents :) The courtyard was a lovely little area to have a BBQ on a summer night and to open up the flat when the weather was good. Maya was very helpful and quick to respond before and during our stay. We would love to stay again when we're next back in town. Thanks Maya!
Amy2016-01-29T00:00:00ZI was just that stoked when I opened the front door of Mayas gorgeous 1 bedroom house! It was just perfect! For me. My surroundings are important. They don't have to be flashy or expensive, but I need a nice chilled ambience with open spaces, comfy furnishings, music and mood lighting. Well the house looks exactly like in the photos!! So you can see there's plenty of room to breathe. There's a dimmer switch on just about every lights. The whole vibe is spot on. Loved the bathroom, so practical! The mirror goes the whole length and there's a shelf in the shower. Which was perfect for fake tanning lol. (Or maybe I shouldn't encourage people to fake tan) Oh the wardrobe is massive. I really unpacked and moved into this place. I kept extending my visit, did not want to leave! 2 air cons were enough. I only used the bedroom one though. Those glass doors open right up in the living area so I would chill in courtyard (which has mood lighting in the decking!!) Everything you need in the kitchen. Like condiments and baking staples. I only cooked 2 nights, the rest I was out and about Good wifi, I don't watch tv so I can't comment there but the couch is ideal for binge watching. Albert park is a great suburb. Close enough to everywhere you want to go, but nice and quiet at nights. No dodgy spots in Albert park, just lovely people. Plenty of car parks. And all day too, there's no time limits or restrictions. I didn't get the chance to meet maya, but she was quick to respond to me whenever I had a query and so helpful.
Alex2016-01-19T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderful one week stay at Maya's place. The house makes me feel right at home, as if i have stayed there all along! Great lighting, clean, love the patio and the kitchen (and the bathroom too, which is spacious). The neighborhood is superb,tram is just round the corner, parking is available in front of the house if you drive (we did)...i had few morning walks to the beach..what can i say, this place truly is a gem! Location is perfect. Had coffee at nearby cafe Miss Colombia and breakfast at Truman's (round the corner). Maya is a fantastic host, very prompt in her replies and guidance. I am very familiar with Melbourne and visit few times a year (my children went to Uni in Melbourne) . I have always stayed in hotels or apartments during previous visits, this is the first time i am staying at Airbnb in Melbourne (tho i have stayed at Airbnb in other cities). Will surely stay here again for our future visits.
Ruzaina2016-07-15T00:00:00ZGreat location! Modern amenities. Close to restaurants and shops , Albert Park and the Beach.stayed here for 6 weeks whilst our house was being renovated and loved the neighbourhood - especially the cafe across the road - Miss Columbia - great coffee and food!
Graham2016-03-11T00:00:00ZMaya's house is in the best location. We bought our car but didn't use it until the day we left as trams took us into the city & beyond. You can walk to cafes, shops & beach. The house is beautifully presented & toasty warm, quiet, private with everything you need. Maya was excellent answering any questions quickly & making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely stay here again! Highly recommend.
Delise2016-08-12T00:00:00ZYou should stay here when visiting Melbourne transport is very convenient and it's a lovely neighbourhood and very well presented little place
Kev@19602016-08-06T00:00:00ZLovely house. Lovely location. Lovely welcome. What more can I say? A perfect holiday for me. Would love to come back again!
Fiona2016-09-05T00:00:00ZLa description correspond bien à cette petite maison. Elle est spacieuse, claire, avec une jolie terrasse et bbq, dans un charmant quartier très calme et résidentiel. Literie excellente. Proximité du tram ( ligne 12) qui vous emmène en ville ou direct à la station de bus pour l'aeroport, la plage est à proximité. Maya a répondu très rapidement à nos messages. Vraiment parfait.

Jo2017-01-11T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
MarkVery welcoming, house was beautiful and clean. Nearby main road was a little noisy but as expected being so close to the CBD. Kitchen was very well stocked.
Tamsin2016-12-09T00:00:00ZMichael was the perfect host. Great communication throughout. The apartment was clean, comfortable and within walking distance to transport links to the city. I'd definitely come back and stay here again.

Ruth2017-03-12T00:00:00ZThis is such a great place. Quiet neighborhood, close to tram line and a great coffee shop. Easy trip into the CBD. Michelle made an extra effort to welcome me and make sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely stay here again.
Rebecca2017-02-28T00:00:00ZWe loved the location of Michael and Rosanne's place, absolute best location for access to public transport and cafes and restaurants right next door literally!! Great atmosphere in the area and very cosy apartment!! Great weekend getaway and hassle free completely when it came to our accommodation!!

Very enjoyable stay and great location! Only down fall would be the door needs to be fixed.
Tarah2015-10-28T00:00:00ZThe house is lovely and ideally located near the tram which takes you to either the CBD or St Kilda in less than 10 minutes. Everything was clean and the house was spacious and comfortable. We didn't meet Marlise as she was out of town but she made it very easy for us to check in and out.
Laura2016-01-22T00:00:00Zthe House was perfect. clean and pleasant? very good stay. I love Thanks you Marlise
Remi2016-02-28T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed a wonderful stay in Albert Park. This cottage is in a great location and had everything we needed.
Dianne2016-10-12T00:00:00ZAs we did not meet Marlise she was able to answer all our questions over email with prompt responses. The property was as advertised with no faults containing everything listed on the advertisement.
Shaun2016-02-01T00:00:00ZA lovely quiet cottage in a great location, close to shops and easy tram trip to city
Joanne2016-08-03T00:00:00ZFirst of all, Marlise was a really nice, friendly and caring host. We really enjoyed our stay in her place. It's a really nice cozy house and very close to the city center. Easy access to anywhere. Thanks to Marlise for being such nice host :)
Merve2016-07-18T00:00:00ZThe house was well located for our needs. The bathroom and kitchen were modern and clean. The bedrooms were basic.

We had a fantastic 5-day stay at Simon's place. He spent a lot of time with us, telling everything about what the city has to offer. Room was really comfortable and well heated especially appreciated due to the weather being a little mischievous in October! It's a little far by foot from the CBD but there's a shared bike station real close that'll get you downtown in no time. I'd definitely recommend this AirBnB to all travelers out there!
Clémence2016-10-25T00:00:00ZSimon was a perfect host if ever there was one. The house is as described online, - arty. I felt welcomed, he showed me around and invited me to use the facilities. The house is also close to a bus stop, so commuting was easy.
okwy2016-02-29T00:00:00ZGood location and easy walk to tram, bus and walking to CBD. Enjoyed my stay and would go back
John2016-10-27T00:00:00ZThis is a great place in Melbourne, very close to the city, walkable distance to a lot of shops and the beach. Simon is a great host, very friendly and accommodating! Enjoyed my stay very much so thank you Simon!
Ami2016-11-25T00:00:00ZSimon was a gracious host and ready provider of local insight for my stay in Melbourne. Quiet street, great location - an easy walk to the city. My stay was stress-free and comfortable in Simon's super tidy and clean house.
Carly A2016-08-06T00:00:00ZSimon was super accommodating! Great place and went out of his way to look for directions and reccomendations for us!
Rachel2017-01-22T00:00:00ZSimon was very friendly and helpful. He has a well-kept and beautifully designed space. Central location with easy access to different parts of the city (Trams and buses within walking distance). We had an amazing stay and highly recommend this arty home in Melbourne.
Mustaali2016-12-26T00:00:00ZWe were welcomed upon arrival by Simon himself who was very accommodating and even offered us his parking lot in front of the property. As it turns out, Simon designed the unique space so he gave us a walkabout tour of it. Our room was on the ground level with the bathroom right next to it so it was very convenient. The stay was comfortable and the location was pretty good, close to some great cafes and nice boutiques. The neighbourhood was quiet and safe, just a short drive or bus ride away from the city central. There is a petrol kiosk with a convenience store so you can pick up supplies from there if needed. It's a great place to recharge each night before heading out ! Thanks for the lovely stay Simon !

Another 5 star Air BnB experience! Lovely room with comfy bed & superb breakfast with quality ingredients. A great place to stay in a pleasant part of a beautiful city. Chris is a congenial & thoughtful host. I really appreciated his helpful tips and suggestions on sightseeing & eating out in the city. If I am ever lucky enough to return to Melbourne, I would really like to stay here again. Thank you very much, Chris.
Jennifer2014-03-30T00:00:00ZWhat Chris promises he delivers: an excellent bed, a good hot shower and internet. And then you get that extra: lots of local tips! Chris makes sure you see the other side of Melbourne, away from the tourist spots. He knows every local gem. Make sure he tells you about his favourite Japanese restaurant around the corner or Mart130 Cafe to have coffee or lunch! The house is a few tram stops away from the city centre and close to the beach. So, if you want a quiet stay in Melbourne with a host who knows his community, this is the place to be!
Alex2013-12-24T00:00:00ZChris was a great host with excellent communication.
Dave2013-11-20T00:00:00ZWe enjoyed our stay in Chris' house. Chris was kind enough to let me and my partner to stay in even he is away for business. The king size bed and pillows was very comfortable. The location is great, it is just 10 min tram ride to city center by Tram 112. Love this place very much as it is quiet and peaceful. If you would like to experience local lifestyle while you are travel overseas, this is a great place I recommend. Would love to meet up with the host again. Cheers !!
Joyce2014-01-06T00:00:00ZStaying with Chris was a great way too experience the Melbourne area! The location is perfect - close enough to the city to shoot in quickly but far enough away for peace and quiet. Chris offers great showings for exploring melbourne too. Finally . . . The breakfasts were awesome - just what one needs for a day of exploring.
Shane2015-03-20T00:00:00ZThanks to Chris we were able to find a place in the perfect location for our needs - terrific location for anyone wanting to explore Melbourne. The room is comfortable and came with great breakfast options supplied. We would recommend a stay. Chris was a great host - at hand to help/advise and was also very patient and helped us out at the last minute with this accomodation.
David2014-03-12T00:00:00ZWe had a great stay in Melbourne. Nice and spacious room. Thanks Chris :-)
Verena2014-04-29T00:00:00ZChris was away for our entire stay, it was a shame as he would have a host of insider knowledge and tips. Albert Park is a nice quiet area only 10 mins away by tram. It's also close to south melb markets, which has much more character than queen vic. Chris was always quick to respond to any queries via sms or email.

Louise's place is fantastic. The home is so lovely, clean and inviting. It was the perfect spot for my friends and I to stay as it was walking distance from my brothers place. South Melbourne is such a great location for anyone visiting Melbourne, close to the city and lots of great pubs around. The Queen bed is an absolute dream to sleep on, so if you can make, sure you shotgun that one! The courtyard out the back is a beautiful little area to sit and relax in. It was very easy to get in, the keysafe worked very well and the instructions were clear.
Jessica2017-02-05T00:00:00ZPerfect place for small families and couples. Perfect location, close to shops and parks. Loved it!
Kate2017-01-04T00:00:00ZWe loved the comfortable and relaxed feeling that Louise and her family have created in this amazing part of Melbourne. The house was perfect for our family of 3;clean, close to the city and fabulous Sth Melb market, free parking and a safe community with great pubs, parks and coffee. The little touches of fresh flowers, pears soap and milk in the fridge made us feel so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our first Airbnb experience thanks to Louise who has adopted the culture of which I perceive Airbnb was intended. Thank you again. Pettina, Rob and Lucy Haub.
Pettina2016-10-02T00:00:00ZGorgeous, cute cottage, great location for families. Loved the courtyard and rooms, and the house stayed cool during the summer heat too.
Bridget2017-01-14T00:00:00ZMy kids loved using your box of game consoles, great location, love your rear yard in the sun
Davin2016-10-15T00:00:00ZIt's better in real life than what I understood from the pictures! Louis was kind enough to buy as a barbeque when we stayed there. Very nice beds, and lots of car parking space. Convenient access to two tram lines.

Highly recommend this for 5* bed, bathroom and amenities at an affordable price. Handy location walking to local shopping/cafe precinct and 5 minutes by tram/train to the city centre. Great communication with Kris. What a find!
Sandy2017-01-25T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed our stay. This private space had everything we needed! Was great that we had our own private entry seperate from the house. Very nice and clean. The bed was super comfy. It was a great location and really easy to get around from here with the trains and trams within walking distance. It was nice that Kris had 2 MYKI cards for us to use right away for public transport. Would definitely stay again when visiting Melbourne!
Rosalie2017-01-08T00:00:00Zsame room with the photo, really close to east richmond station. i will back again to this room, if i go back to melbourne ps: kris is a great host, and so helpful
Anthony Kevin2017-01-07T00:00:00ZThis property is beautifully appointed and very well laid out. In fact it exceeded all of my expectations with attention to detail impressing me greatly. One example being the local prepaid public transport card, Myki being made available free of charge. Nice touch! I recommend Kris and his Airbnb facillity highly.
Faye2017-02-15T00:00:00ZIt was great and worth it to stay at this lovely place. I outlined my great experience as below: + Close to South Richmond train stop, only 5 minute walk. + High privacy, own suite bathroom and own entrance. + Clean and modern desaign of the room. + Great assistance from Kris. + Myki Card available for public transport. + Clean and comfortable double bed. - Wifi did not work at all. - on second day had a little problem with the toilet and bathroom as it flooded. But, Kris managed to fix it on the same day. So it is not a big deal. Overall, I was happy to made a right choice stayed at this place.
Kiki 2017-01-26T00:00:00ZThanks again for another good stay!
Marg2017-02-08T00:00:00ZThanks for all your help Kris! We really enjoyed our stay with you and all the communication went without any problems.
Sofie2017-01-10T00:00:00ZKris was super nice and helpful. On our first day, He offered us his Myki cards to be able to use public transport in Melbourne. The room was really way better than expected, really clean and tidy. This was my first time to see a room way better than its photos. The location is the best you can find in Melbourne, two station from the city of Melbourne and there are many chooses of cafes and restaurants walking distance from the room.

I had a wonderful stay here. Daniel and Linden (hope I got the spelling correct) were very hospitable. The room is exactly as in the picture and the bed and pillows are comfortable to sleep on, better than some hotels. You have a lot of privacy to yourself. A lovely cottage that resides in the leafy and quiet suburb in this area with eateries and Coles within 5 mins walking distance. Daniel and Linden kept the cottage neat and spartan. A real delightful stay and worth the value.
Elizabeth2015-11-14T00:00:00ZDaniel made me feel very welcome and was extremely helpful upon arrival. He shared a lot of knowledge about the local eateries and cafes. A fantastic room as well as bathroom and kitchen facilities. Thanks once again, and if you want an excellent room in an excellent location for a great price I would definitely recommend this one.
David2015-07-27T00:00:00ZEven if we didn't see each other a lot, we really enjoyed (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication and planning was pretty easy. The cottage is very well located, right in between of the CBD and St. Kilda. We can absolutely recommend to stay here.
Carola2015-10-08T00:00:00ZIt was a nice clean small cottage. Hosts are mostly at work during daytime. Daniel and his friends were always very welcoming. Had some good shopping tips from them. Highly recommend.
Syed2016-11-22T00:00:00ZWalkable (25 minutes) to city centre but teams very nearby. Good value, nice and clean and helpful host. Cheers
Stuart2016-12-03T00:00:00ZThis was my second stay here and it was just as good as the first. Daniel and Laiken are so welcoming and kind. They are no fuss and it's a quiet home, which is exactly what you look for after a long day traveling and working.
Mary 2015-11-28T00:00:00ZGreat house!I had arrived his house very late. He is friendly to meet me, when he was on a beautiful dream. We have a long talking during that afternoon. Very nice man. Highly recommend.
Mason2015-09-17T00:00:00ZDaniel and his lovely partner were very welcoming and made me feel at home from the get go. The accommodation was very comfortable and located in a very quiet neighbourhood but surprisingly close to everything. Next time I'm in Melbourne and need accommodation, I'll stay with Daniel. Thanks again :)

I am a person that spend's all day converting oxygen into carbon dioxide. You could say I live for my work.
I've been involved with computers from a young age. My father worked as a programmer for over 10 years, and currently has worked in IT for the last 15 years. My uncle used to build scrap computers out of parts he found at the local landfill where he worked. He built my first computer, which was a dual Pentium 2, 233MHz system. For its time, it was quite a beast.
For over 15 years, I have learned a lot from my father and uncle, to a point that I have surpassed them. I went to school for computer networking for 2 years, and have been working with my father in IT ever since.
There is much I don't know, I will be the first to admit, but I am still learning every day. That is the beauty of working with computers, because there is always something to learn.

Five Important Things for Social Media Marketers
March 31st, 2013
Social media is a powerful tool for communication, building networks, meeting new people and selling a product. The free service allows for virtually infinite numbers of people increasing your products and services' presence in the market. However, if you have a social media marketing strategy, here are five things to remember.
1. Demographics
Anybody from different walks of life and ages could follow your social media profile, but make sure your strategy focuses on your target market. Consider who will read and make use of your products and services. Once you've identified your demographics, you will know the schedule of posts you should make in your social media account, the language you need to use and the nature of your posts.
2. Brand
Your social profiles should portray your product or service brand. Make sure that people notice your logo clearly and the design and colors of every social media profile are comprehensive with one another. Consistency is the secret of making a good brand strategy.
3. Budgets
Most social media allow business to purchase and allow the in-house team to advertise their social media profiles, but you'll need to set a budget for these premium services. You also need to set a budget for designs, graphics, texts, your social media team and more.
4. Objectives
Your social media accounts have an objective and that is to become a highway of information for people interested in your business. However, this is only a general objective. Businesses should divide the main objective into weekly, monthly and yearly objectives that could help the business gain more from using social media.
5. Personalize
Social media is about people wishing to know more about your products and services and sometimes, interacting with your customers is the key to building your business brand. Engage your customers and entertain them while informing them about your products as well.

It is my honour to provide the latest interview in my series of chats with business visionaries and specialists. Today I am accompanied my company coach, Paul Gruber, who is an accomplishment coach with RRi, among the fastest growing accomplishment training firms worldwide. Paul is committed to personal development, and to assisting others attain their dreams.
When I was 10 my family bought a new handycam. I check out the handbook and I found I could MODIFY this footage too! When I started learning how to edit I began recording everything in sight and that was when I came up with the name Bruns Household Productions. I wanted my home videos to look professional so we required a business name. Haha.
Secret primary. View your diction, speed and clarity of message shipment. Whether you are recording live or simply casting voice over a screen image or discussion, be mindful of how you speak. It needs to not be quickly. It must not be slow. You are now in the die casting home entertainment company and you require to work on this part of yourself like an actor. There are not points for shabbiness in this area.
For the Wrath Lich King, therapists get all ready. It's on your shoulders to keep the raid alive. Players will get struck by an AoE called Infest that causes over seven thousand shadow damage followed by a DoT that ticks up with each stack. When the player's health reaches 90% or greater, it is only eliminated.
We start with the most tough product in your bass fishing deal with, the choice which rod you have to purchase. You currently know that there are a great deal of rods you can pick from. One can get a special rod for every type of fish you can capture or for the unique lures that are offered. The option of rod mainly depends upon the kind of lure you will be using.
Cendrine Marrouat: Hello there Scarlett, thank you for answering my concerns. You have been a starlet the majority of your life. Is there a specific event that activated your desire to work behind the camera?
3) Build a dream list. Take a pad of paper and compose no less than 50 dreams. If time, money, and failures not part of the equation, write the things you would like to do. This will expand and enhance your imagination, along with setting your subconscious.
Al: If that happened my soul would survive on, in heaven is where I would opt for my acts. You my relative, would wind up in hell, not just for your smart breaking comments, however for your battered soul.

Movies My Kids are Never Allowed to Watch (and Why)
1. Astro Boy (2009). Reasons: Gratuitous violence; kids will beg for rocket boots for the next 10 Christmases; machine guns inexplicably come out of boy's rectum
2. The Secret of Nimh (1985). Reason: I still have nightmares about Mrs. Brisby's encounter with The Great Rat Leader
3. Lord of the Rings Animated Version (1978). Reasons: Scenes with Gollum and the giant spiders would cause grown men to wet their pants
4. Lilo & Stitch (2002). Tragic themes on loss and child neglect make Bambi's Dad's death look tame in comparison; primary character's name is slang for 'vagina'
5. Tinkerbell (2010). Reason: updated, cleavage-cupping frock for main character deserves NC-17 rating
6. Any "Wiggles" movie. Reason: preponderance of theme songs that will earnestly be repeated in fake-Australian accent
TV Shows
1. Burt & Ernie segments of Sesame Street. Reason: NOT the usual bigoted, homophobic objections! It's just that Burt is such an as$hole to Ernie. Ever notice that?
2. Sailor Moon. Reason: potential for kids to grow up to be adults who attend semi-annual Sailor Moon Conventions at the Fontainebleu
3. Caillou. Reason: "Mom, Why is Caillou bald?" "I don't knoooow!"
4. Spongebob. Reason: supremely annoying main character
5. Pee-Wee's Play House: Reasons: too numerous and obvious to list here.

I am approximately 3 yrs late on this, but I feel its important: I watched Pee Wee's playhouse growing up. I loved Pee Wee. Darn him & his inability to let go of his weiner in public, he forever marred a classic show.

I agree, Sarah. Although the talking furniture was a little weird, so maybe that was a red flag and we should've seen the wienerschnitzel incident coming.

The real reason for the New Left opposition to eugenics (beyond
strategic electoral demographics) has nothing to do with preventing the
state from imposing low fertility upon the lower orders (after all, the
politically correct see no limit to the state's right to control
people, and the Left care nothing for the freedom of the lower orders).
The modern ruling class opposition to eugenics has almost-everything to do with preventing the state from
enforcing high fertility upon the higher orders - ie. the PC elite themselves.
In other words, eugenics is about two things - increasing the differential representation of beneficial genes in the gene pool, and reducing or eliminating the proportion of deleterious genes in the gene pool; and in terms of human fertility this implies higher fertility for the most able and best-behaved, as well as lower fertility for the least able and worst-behaved.
Note added:
It is my contention that the modern Leftist elites are not really bothered about the fertility of other people; they don't talk or write about this topic and don't lose sleep over it (although they probably should); and they would naturally regard themselves and people like themselves as having the highest aptitudes and best attitudes; however, they are also extremely concerned with controlling, delaying and in general suppressing their own fertility (and duties and responsibilities).
Therefore they dishonestly deny that intelligence and personality are substantially heritable - because this gets them off the hook!
Anything which would tend to pressure the modern elites to focus on marrying much younger, staying married, and quickly start having children, up to three or more...
Well... anything of that kind is regarded with fear and loathing - whether it be eugenics or traditional religion.
NOTE: I personally am against eugenics, because I am a Christian.
And I am in favour of making marriage and family a major focus of national policy; and I also believe that family size should be constrained by family resources - so, for these reasons - pro-natalism tempered by self-sufficiency, in general (with exceptions) I approve greater fertility/ larger families for the more wealthy than for the poorer. But (although in some ways similar) that is not eugenics, because it is not aiming to influence the gene pool.

static_assert is the tool in modern C++ to make you code safe.
The usage of static_assert is quite easy. static_assert requires an expression and a string. The expression has to be a predicate that can be evaluated at compile time. Predicate means the expression returns true or false. If the expression evaluates to false you will get at compile time an error message with the string as message. Of course you get no executable.
There are a few points you have to keep in your mind.
At here is the code example to static_assert.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
// static_assert.cpp #include <string> static_assert(sizeof(void*) == 4 ,"32-bit adressing is required!"); static_assert(sizeof(void*) >= 8 ,"64-bit adressing is required!"); template < typename T, int Line, int Column > struct Matrix{ static_assert(Line >= 0, "Line number must be positive."); static_assert(Column >= 0, "Column number must be positive."); static_assert( Line + Column > 0, "Line and Column must be greater than 0."); }; int main() { static_assert(sizeof(int) == sizeof(long int),"int and long int must be of the same length."); Matrix<int,10,5> intArray; Matrix<std::string,3,4> strArray; Matrix<double,0,1> doubleArray; Matrix<long long,1,0> longArray; Matrix<char,0,0> charArray; }
The program uses static_assert in the global scope (line 5 and 6); it uses it in the class scope (line 10 - line 12); it uses it in the local scope (line 17). One of the two assertions in line 5 and 6 must inevitably fall. The assertions in the class definition guarantees on one hand that the numbers of columns and lines must be greater than 0 and it guarantees on the other hand that the sum has to be positive.That's the reason why the template instantiation in line 14 is not valid. On my computer int is smaller than long int. The reverse relation is guaranteed by the C++ standard.
Let's have a look at the broken run of my compiler.
The power of static_assert is due to the fact what can be evaluate at compile time. Glad, we have the new type-traits library in C++11. The powerful type-traits library empowers you to check, compare and change types at compile time. But this is the story of the next post.

Here is a fascinating collection of 20 wide-ranging interviews with the preeminent opera singers, conductors, directors, and designers working on and behind the stage today. In Living Opera, Joshua Jampol invites opera-lovers to listen in as performers such as Renee Fleming, Natalie Dessay, Rolando Villazon and Placido Domingo speak in exceptionally frank terms about their strengths and weaknesses and address such hard-hitting topics as how they deal with critics, vocal troubles, and balancing their career and family lives. We hear conductors such as James Conlon, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Kent Nagano discuss their likes and dislikes about the state of contemporary opera, their own inspirations, whom they hope to inspire, and how opera can remain relevant today. World-class directors such as Robert Carsen and Patrice Chereau discuss the complexities involved in staging a successful opera. Jampol has unprecedented access to all the major singers, conductors, and directors, and the table of contents reads like a "who's who" of the global opera world. Each interview highlights a distinctive voice speaking about his or her career path, first break, colleagues, major influences, audiences, critics and all the diverse professions making up the emotional and extravagant world of the lyric arts. Jampol brings immense knowledge and a wonderful flair to these conversations, allowing his subjects to follow their thoughts wherever they lead and revealing in the process a more intimate, reflective side of such stars as Pierre Boulez, William Christie, Joyce DiDonato, Seiji Ozawa, Samuel Ramey, and many others. For anyone wanting to know more about the people behind the performances-what they think, how they feel, and who they really are-Living Opera is full of delights and surprises.Create a review

Essential Idea for Making The Outside Of Your Home Much better
Posted by Administrator • Saturday, November 26. 2016 • Category: Home ImprovementPresuming you locate the appropriate service provider, they can support you in seeing your dwelling improvement dreams become a reality. You do not want to have any distressing circumstances last minute, so ensure you actually have a look at everything prior to you work with somebody. Supporting you in discovering a contractor who tells you the reality and who is reliable is what this piece is written for.
Sealing Paver South FL
Installing an aquarium that is recessed in the wall is another fun house improvement task to consider. These aquariums can be really stunning when done properly. There is absolutely nothing truly challenging about this, either. Everything relies on where you do it because you will have to make area behind the wall, certainly. For ease of gain access to, some individuals leave a little space where they can stroll behind the tank. You will have to consider the lighting with this project too. You will certainly need to think about extra elements if you want to run a saltwater reef tank.
Request a credit check before working with a professional. While this may sound extreme, you can't be too careful when it concerns somebody who's going to be working on your home. It is necessary, specifically when dealing with specialists you don't know personally, to know that the professional has credit in the area. Otherwise, you could be taking care of someone transient who could just pack up and leave at any time. It's very likely that any genuine service provider in the neighborhood is going to have some type of accounts for credit with one of the lots of regional structure supply companies. Obviously this is only the case for a totally certified specialist and not transient workers and handymen.
Lots of people think that their driveway is a big job. But honestly, there are others that are far more involved, and driveways are not constantly a huge offer. Nevertheless, exactly what you want to do is exactly what matters. Among the very best locations to start is by taking a comprehensive look at your driveway. You must watch out for big cracks, because a great deal of the time sorting the fractures will certainly be important. One kind of trick that individuals do is just have their driveways blacktopped. That procedure involves setting a petroleum based finish that will include a specific appeal due to the black color. Additionally, it will seal and secure your driveway from all weather condition, as well as cover any spots or marks that could have been there.
Practically everybody has a list of things they want to enhance in their home, yet there are times in which it is a struggle to pick the one to begin on first. Whether you are thinking about re-carpeting your home, adding in some brand-new landscaping or simply recreating a space, you might be apathetic about it, if you really do not have enough or money. Nevertheless, it is always possible to begin the process with something that you feel at ease with and bear in mind that even the smaller endeavors can up the worth of your house, including updating a device or refinishing your hardwood floors.

Ibiza has a deserved reputation as the party capital of Europe, if not the world. And holidays to Ibiza have a special place in the hearts of many young clubbers. This is the número uno island for riotous nights out in the Mediterranean. With dizzying array of famous venues and a constant assemblage of superstar DJs at the decks, be ready to party hard! Yet, remember the island is far more than just a clubbing destination.
The beauty of Ibiza is often overlooked, or at least understated. It is an idyllic, sun kissed Balearic island with a rugged coast of sweeping bays, hidden pirate coves and breathtaking golden beaches. Inland are charming whitewashed villages, lush pine forest and rambling hills, rolling fig trees and olive groves.
Ibiza began its love affair with tourism as a Mediterranean stopover for hippies en route to Goa in the 60s. The spirit of the summer of love decided to stay on. Today, Ibiza holidays are loved by families who want a blissful beach break in the quieter resorts and couples looking to enjoy a romantic getaway in the Mediterranean sunshine. Oh and lest we forget - clubbers from all corners of the globe in search of nightlife nirvana!
Granted, if it's the DJs and dance floors you've come for, San Antonio and Ibiza Town are where it's at. Both home to some of the biggest and best superclubs on Earth that fly in international stars to head up the decks each summer. Vibrant Ibiza Town is where it all started years ago. It is still home to some of the island's most iconic names including Pacha. A wander around the Unesco-listed Old Town is a pleasant way of shrugging off a hangover.
The nearest beach resort to Ibiza Town is Playa d'en Bossa, home to the longest beach in Ibiza and the famous nightspots of Space, Bora Bora and Ushuaia. A modern resort with exceptional amenities and plenty of activities and entertainment, Playa d'en Bossa is also popular for family holidays.
San Antonio is the undisputed party kingpin of the island. This heavyweight clubbing colossus is a non-stop 24/7 riot of hedonism. Here you'll find the bars, clubs and sunset cafés that have made Ibiza's nocturnal scene so legendary. Eden and Es Paradis can be found here among other top venues.
Just across the bay from its namesake is San Antonio Bay, which a chilled-out, pretty resort with some lovely beaches. It provide the ideal place for a relaxing beach getaway, while still being within easy reach of all the action.
The east coast is really popular with families and home to some of the best resorts on the island including Santa Eulalia and Es Cana. Both enjoy idyllic beaches with fine golden sand and warm turquoise waters, plenty of fun activities for all ages and excellent hotels, shops and restaurants. Santa Eulalia is the culinary capital of Ibiza, so definitely the place to go for foodies (or just the hungry!).
A little south lies the peaceful resort of Cala Llonga, which enjoys a wonderfully picturesque setting backed by rolling hills and pine trees. It is home to one of the nicest beaches in Ibiza; long, wide and golden with shallow waters safe for kids. Cala Llonga is within easy reach of the southern party resorts should you fancy a night out, and is a popular choice with golfers.
All in all, the scenic north coast is probably the least visited part of Ibiza. As a result it has retained its relaxed, traditional way of life, which coupled with its considerable Mediterranean beauty makes for a laid-back holiday hideaway. Portinatx is the most popular resort in the north.
