Got an environment-friendly building technology? Compete for SME vouchers worth CHF50K
Climate-KIC Switzerland has issued a call for SME vouchers in partnership with Climate-KIC partners ETH Zurich and Empa. Applications to be submitted before 4 August 2014.
In order to enable highly innovative emission reduction projects or programmes, Climate-KIC offers vouchers for small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) to grow their business by connecting to experts. We aim to generate market growth for existing businesses.
SME voucher – an instrument to boost your development
Companies involved in product development in the building industry might be facing challenges that require external expert knowledge for their solution. The SME voucher helps small and medium size industry partners (SMEs) in the building industry to collaborate with researchers from Empa and ETH Zurich and to get their products market-ready. It supports the development of environment-friendly technologies to a level that allows their direct implementation in the NEST platform and their subsequent introduction into the market. Empa and ETH Zurich researchers can benefit from this voucher through financial support for potential collaboration with SMEs and achieve a first implementation of a prototype ready for real-scale testing within the NEST platform. The SME voucher has a value of up to CHF50K and is valid through 2014. The maximum budget available for this year is CHF250K.
ETH Zurich is one of the world-leading international universities for technology and the natural sciences. Empa is an interdisciplinary research and services institution for material sciences and technology development within the ETH Domain.
NEST – Exploring the future of buildings
NEST is a unique platform for building research and prototyping on a real scale hosted by the Federal Institute of Material and Technology, Empa. It is part of the Climate-KIC flagship program Building Technologies Accelerator (BTA) and offers living lab infrastructures, real-world test beds in homes/offices and establishes a link to the market and society. New developments in architecture, construction or building technology can be implemented, researched and experienced within the NEST building platform. Major goals of NEST are the open innovation process that enables the development of advanced, environment-friendly technology with a significant market potential, the close collaboration between researchers and industry partners and hence the reduction of time to market.
Deadline to hand in document:
- Monday, 4 August 2014, 17:00
- Send to:
Jury decision (members of Climate-KIC, NEST team, research committee Empa/ETH Zurich, industry)
Who can participate in this call and what contributions will be supported?
Researchers from Empa and/or ETH Zurich who are developing together with an industry partner (SME) a technology, material, process or method that can be implemented or applied in the NEST environment and contributes to climate change mitigation/adaptation (team application of SME and research partner is requested).
Four research units (RU) with different research scopes (themes) are in planning and will be integrated in the NEST platform. To place your innovations within NEST, you need to identify one specific RU where your contribution could fit in. The six RUs and their respective research/technology focus are:
- City Lifting: Compaction of the city through modular roof extension on existing buildings. Modular construction concept for easy and quick roof extension based on prefabricated building elements. Lightweight construction using wood and composite materials. Technology integration into prefabricated structures.
- Vision Wood: New construction materials on wood base (hydrophobic, flame retardant, bacteriostatic, etc.). Modular construction concept based on prefabricated container solution. Flexible and modular furnishing solution.
- Meet2Create: Concepts for changing office spaces according to variable space usage during life-cycle, office concepts differentiated by zones, façade elements dynamically connecting inside and outside space, leasing business model for entire façade elements, furniture for dynamic transformation of workspaces, personalised climate control
- HiLo: Ultra-thin, lightweight and doubly curved roof shell structure, lightweight floor construction based on funicular vaulting allowing for integration of building services, adaptive solar façade based on soft-actuator elements, adaptive room automation system based on learning algorithms to control set points for building service systems. See also the HiLo website.
- Solar Fitness & Wellness: Operation of unit without fossil fuels, use of solar energy and electricity produced by gym machines.
- Energy Hub: NEST Energy Hub optimises the energy flow of electrical and thermal loads and provides buffering. The aim is to achieve a balance between heat and electricity producing RUs on the one hand, and heat and electricity consumption RUs on the other hand. The different living and work areas (RUs) in the NEST platform represent a group of independent buildings which are connected by thermal and electrical networks.
For more information on the specific RUs please refer to the NEST website.
How can I apply?
To apply to this call with your team (research and industry partner), you need to submit a proposal describing your innovation subject. Your proposal is maximum 2-3 pages long and gives answers to the following questions:
- What is the subject of your innovation? In what research unit/area could it be implemented within NEST?
- What are the unique selling propositions and/or what known problems/weaknesses in the market does your solution eliminate?
- How does your solution contribute to increase sustainability in buildings?
- What is the market potential you see? Is there a market already?
- What are the main deliverables?
- How is the team working on that solution? What are contributions from the research and from the industry sides?
- What challenges/risks do you see regarding the development?
- How will the money from this SME voucher be spent to improve your solution (time, material, etc.)? Is there other funding in the final development phase and what is covered by the money from the voucher (present rough budget with development phases along a time line)?
A proposal template can be downloaded here.

QPR: Suicide Prevention Training for Community Leaders
Multiple Dates
Event Details
Due to limited seating, this 2-hour training is being offered at 6PM on Monday, March 19 and Tuesday, May 8 - select your preferred date when registering by clicking on the drop down at the top of this form.
Oftentimes, community leaders* are sought out for support in times of crisis and are the first to become aware that someone is considering killing themselves. Attend this training to gain the skills to handle the "suicide question" and become knowledgeable about local resources for you and your community.
QPR - Question, Persuade, Refer is modeled after the success of the CPR medical intervention and is based on the following concepts:
- Those who most need help in a suicidal crisis are the least likely to ask for it.
- Prior to making a suicide attempt, a person typically sends warning signs.
- Asking "Are you thinking about killing yourself?" is a key step to preventing suicide.
This training will address:
- The anxiety we feel when we are talking to someone who is suicidal.
- How to specifically ask "the question".
- How to persuade someone to seek help.
- How to make sure they get the referral they need.
*For the purpose of this training, a community leader is anyone who regularly convenes groups of people.

Being retired from the Justice Department (DEA) and having friends in federal law enforcement, I had thought that FBI Director James Comey was a square shooter. My sense was that the current FBI agents thought highly of him-certainly higher than his predecessor, Robert Mueller. I was fully aware Comey had to answer to the attorney general. During the reign of Eric Holder I had come to the conclusion that Holder had ideologically corrupted the DOJ, especially in the Operation Fast Furious scandal involving guns being smuggled to Mexico from the US for use by the drug cartels. However, I was (and still am) impressed by the counter-terrorism work being done by FBI agents in the field. I have to admit, however, that the performance of Mr. Comey leaves me bewildered. Now he is getting it from both sides and deservedly so.
Like many federal agents, current and retired, I was enraged by his July announcement, in which he outlined the violations of communication security by Hillary Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state-then closed by recommending no charges, a slap in the face of anyone who believes that nobody should be above the law. Mrs Clinton's violation of security seemed obvious and involved many instances of careless handling of classified documents. During my DEA career, I spent three years stationed at the American embassy in Bangkok and five years at the American consulate in Milan. I dealt with classified documents on a daily basis and fully understood the rules, which were strictly enforced. Had I done what Mrs. Clinton did, I would have been sent packing back to the US and certainly prosecuted. Yet, Mr Comey inexplicably stated that no reasonable prosecutor would have taken this case to court. (Only if the perpetrator were someone like Hillary Clinton.) It is hardly a secret that Comey lost the respect of many of this agents on that day.
Then, as the revelations from Wikileaks, Judicial Watch, and his own agents continued to show more violations of classified communication security and corruption involving the Clinton Foundation, Comey stepped in and announced that the FBI would re-open the case (involving the emails) less than two weeks before the election. It gave the appearance that the FBI was attempting to influence the outcome of the election. It also appeared to put the FBI squarely at odds with the attorney general (now Loretta Lynch), who did not approve the action, quite possibly for political reasons. Now it appeared that somehow, the emails of then-Secretary Clinton and her top aide, Huma Abedin, had found their way onto a laptop operated by Abedin's estranged husband, none other than disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner aka Carlos Danger. What a mess!
But on November 6, Comey again took the stage and announced that the additional emails had been screened and there was no harm after all. Case closed (again). At best, it made Comey and his agency look like the Keystone Cops. It didn't help that at the same time, we were learning from Wikileaks that one of the emails hacked from Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta, suggested that Hillary was having classified documents sent to her housemaid so she could print them out (at her private residence). If true, you have a security violation right there, but the case is closed.
Left unresolved is the issue of the Clinton Foundation, which is likely a massive money laundering operation designed to make the Clintons rich at the expense of American foreign policy while she was secretary of state. Now we see (courtesy of Wikileaks) that the foundation may have been paying for Chelsea Clinton's wedding, not exactly a charitable endeavor. Keep in mind that these allegations are not from Wikileaks itself or the Clintons' enemies, but based on statements by her own campaign staff.
But what will our vaunted FBI do about all that-especially if Mrs Clinton becomes president? Hopefully, the attorney general will appoint a special prosecutor as new revelations keep coming in even after the election and inauguration. The problem is I have lost faith in Loretta Lynch as well as James Comey. Blatant corruption is being swept under the rug as we speak.

Orthodox cosmetic dentistry in Commerce Township Michigan
what is a dental bridge Harrisburg 17111
Cosmetic dentists aren't all white coats and Novocaine. There is both art and science in a dentist's day. Case in point: what appears to be more or less routine restoration of missing or broken teeth - a dental crown or a dental bridge - is akin to principles of architecture.
Think of the arch of your mouth like the roof of a house. Each element of the structure relies on another. If a rafter breaks, the entire building will, sooner or later, buckle. So it is with your teeth.
The mouth is balanced; teeth function together. One missing tooth can cause permanent changes in your bite. Neighboring teeth drift into the empty space. The opposing tooth will actually grow longer and longer, further frustrating normal chewing. You'll tend to favor one side of your mouth over another. This old house is eventually doomed.
Dentists, then, are believers in tooth restoration and dental crowns. With all the new materials cosmetic dentistry offers today, virtually any mouth can be restored to good working order. A tooth that might have been lost five years ago now has many options for renewed vitality.
And the cosmetic results that can be achieved are, well, awesome. When it comes to new dental technologies, take advantage. Your cosmetic dentist will be there when you're ready to go for it.
Cosmetic dentistry, these days, sometimes combines science with fine art. This requires a craftsman's skill to make sure the tooth restoration is as attractive as it is durable. After all, your smile is too valuable to be spoiled by unnatural-looking dental veneers.
The goal of a cosmetic dentist should be to provide you with an attractive, natural-appearing smile. You have a wide array of choices, and a good cosmetic dentistry professional should be happy to review the possibilities with you. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to a broken tooth, while leaving it looking as good as (or possibly better than) the original.
This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings or a gold tooth. Metal and gold, after all, are not normal components of teeth. There's a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and porcelain dental crowns that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Plus, porcelain restorations are now as strong, or stronger, than your own teeth. Ask your cosmetic dentist to take before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
Admittedly, these more natural-appearing restorations are also a little more expensive. And many dental insurance plans may not cover all of the cost for cosmetic dental work. But in terms of your appearance (and the self-confidence it boosts), there's no comparison.

Mike was great! Accommodating and his recommendations were on point. I could walk everywhere and the view from the front window is great in the morning when you wake up. Hope you enjoy the stay as much as I did!John2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
Quiet residential neighborhood with a comfortable bed. Parking is a bit of a challenge. Stairs made unloading fun. Mike was a good communicator and a low key host. Just what I wanted.Randall2017-02-14T00:00:00Z
Centrally located in the Point, Mike's place is convenient for all. Best part is waking up to that beautiful view of the ocean!!Justin2017-04-06T00:00:00Z
Mike's place is perfectly located close to the beach in about 15mins walking distance with a great view. If you're looking for a nice, quiet, place to stay that's the place for you. Mike was very helpful and communication was super easy.Evelyn2017-04-10T00:00:00Z
Great communication and easy check in, Mike was even kind enough to leave out an iron and ironing board for me which I needed in advance of a job interview. The room is comfortable and quiet, and the shared shower is great, very powerful and clean. Mike was a considerate host, and I would definitely recommend staying here.Ana & Matt2017-05-19T00:00:00Z
Very gracious host!Sarah2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Heidi and Chuck are great. Warm hospitality and a beautiful place. Highly recommend it. Next time I hope to stay longer!Jeff2016-12-13T00:00:00Z
Excellent home away from home when staying in Dana Point. Heidi and Chuck were excellent hosts, even though we didn't have a chance to meet them in person. The room and home was exactly as described and in the pictures (with amazing views of the ocean from the patio). The amenities were great (beach towel, beach blanket, chairs, toiletries, etc.). We were attending a wedding at the Ritz and this was within walking distance (maybe 15 minutes). We would definitely recommend Heidi and Chuck's home if you are staying in the area.Mark2015-08-17T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay and the place far exceeded our expectations.Karin2016-06-26T00:00:00Z
Everything was exactly how it was described in every detail. The location was fabulous and very serene. Heidi and Chuck take such pride in their gorgeous home and it shows. The decor and amenities are top notch and very relaxing. Our hosts were very friendly and warm, making us feel very at ease. We need not had one night, but we are sure to be back for a longer stay next time. Thank you Heidi and Chuck for a memorable , lovely stay.Sue2015-11-10T00:00:00Z
We extend our gratitude to Heidi and Chuck for sharing their beautiful home with us! Everything was tremendously convenient, from the layout of the home to the walk to the beach (15 min walk) to the available restaurants. However, you may not want to leave the large patio/pool area that overlooks the ocean and nearby mountains! We sat out there enjoying coffee in the morning, reading books in the afternoon and viewing spectacular sunsets in the evening. They made us feel at home and encouraged us to take full advantage of the residence. Great kitchen if that is important to you, family room with fireplace etc. Quiet and relaxing! Loved our time there! Hoping to return.Patricia2016-02-16T00:00:00Z
Heidi and Chuck are terrific hosts! They are so friendly!! They are such an interesting couple, we enjoyed our conversations with them! The room and attached bath is clean and very, very nice and encouraged use of kitchen and living room is great! The view from the patio is wonderful!!John2016-07-07T00:00:00Z
Heidi was a wonderful hostess. She has a beautiful home and has thought of everything for her traveling guests. Pictures and amenities on her site are accurate and complete. Great coastal location. What's not to like.Ted2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
Heidi and Chuck are excellent hosts! We felt right at home in their beautiful home. The views are spectacular and the room feels very private. It is within walking distance to the Ritz and St. Regis so it's an excellent choice for people visiting for weddings at those locations. Highly recommended. Thanks Heidi and Chuck!Adam2015-06-15T00:00:00Z

Betty's Tropical Hideaway was an excellent stay for us as it's close to the coast and Dana Point where we were visiting relatives. Some great points -- a reserved parking space, motion sensor exterior lighting at night, and all drawers/cabinets in the kitchen are labeled so it's easy to find everything. Betty provided a large tray of snacks as well as a bottle of wine for our arrival. Plus the kitchen was stocked with some basic items (e.g. salt, pepper, olive oil, etc.) so we didn't need to buy those. Being close to the ocean, please be aware that the condo may feel a little chilly at night as there is no heating but during the day it's quite comfortable. Right up the street is a nearby Ralph's, Trader Joe's, CVS, and a Starbucks - just about everything we needed! This far beats-out the hotels we've used in the past - Dana Point Marina Inn or Best Western Marina Shores, as all you get is a rectangular room with two beds and a continental breakfast. So we'll definitely stay here next time!Jonathan2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
This place is nicer than the pictures. Lovely roof level deck to watch the sunset over ocean in distance. Very well stocked kitchen. Comfortable. Easy to get to beach and restaurants. Thanks for the wine!Anne2017-03-29T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved staying at Betty's Tropical Hideaway! Betty went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Upon our arrival we were greeted with a friendly welcome letter, bottle of wine, and several snacks, which my 3 year old daughter loved! As we explored the hideaway, we were pleasently surprised to find not only the normal ammenities, but several we did not expect. A fully equipped kitchen (Keurig and pods included!), plush bath and beach towels (my husband's favorite), laundry room with detergents for both adults and children, beach equipment, including a variety of new sand toys for my daughter, and a new bbq, to name just a few. Betty truly thought of everything we would need to have a wonderful vacation. Betty and her husband George also provided restaurant and activity suggestions. One of these was the best beach for children, which my daughter thoroughly enjoyed. Also, since we were there for the 4th of July, Betty messages me with local tips for the best firework viewing. We followed her suggestions and, as a result, were able to enjoy a front row seat for the show! I cannot say enough how much we truly enjoyed our stay. The hideaway is absolutely beautiful, and Betty is indeed a super host! We can't wait to return for another stay at the Tropical Hideaway!Jennifer2016-07-07T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved Betty's tropical hideaway. The photos were very accurate but the place feels more spacious. It was beautifully clean and well presented in every way. There was also a very high level of equipment. We settled straight in as if at home and could easily have stayed much longer. Every time you look for something, it's there - whether chairs/towels for the beach, a cool box, plastic food bags for your picnic or enough kitchen equipment to cook a full meal or make a cake. We loved sitting on the spacious decking area with its sea view. Location is convenient- easy to drive everywhere but the shops and beach are also within easy walking distance. The bed is vast (we are Europeans and had not seen one like it) and beautifully comfortable. Also a huge shower. So much trouble has been taken with this apartment - we felt very much like Betty's personal guests. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.Annette2016-11-22T00:00:00Z
The Tropical Hideaway was amazing! Betty was hospitable and made us feel so welcome. We were traveling with our 2 small children and Betty made sure to leave us some snacks and such. A nice touch for us. The place had everything we needed and more. The finishings of the Hideaway also made us feel like we were in a nice resort. So fancy. I would definitely recommend!Jillian2016-07-09T00:00:00Z
Our stay was the amazing! We loved all the accomadations the cottage had to offer, the bed was very comfortable and the shower was amazing. The location was perfect for us to explore the area and not too far of a drive from Laguna Beach! We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone!Erica2017-05-08T00:00:00Z
Betty made us feel welcome, and we loved how comfortable and clean and affordable the place was. Because we were in the area for a wedding we didn't get to do as much exploring of the area, but there was a book of places to go and things to do while in the area. We had the option of staying in a hotel, but this was so much better!Katherine2016-10-09T00:00:00Z
This is a tremendous location for those looking to settling into Dana Point. Quiet neighborhood, short walk to Pines Park for walking/running and just a couple of miles from the ocean. They are great hosts!Jessica2017-04-20T00:00:00Z

Mark met us at the "KAY" and we chatted for almost an hour. A lovely lad indeed. His place was so close to walking right into the adorable town of San Clemente with excellent restaurants, shopping and night life. His place is only 11 minutes and 22 seconds from la plage aussi. We enjoyed our time at his place and enjoyed chatting with Mark and meeting his nice son.David2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

Parking was easy, and the host, Ed, was superb. I will absolutely stay here again.Sarah2015-04-01T00:00:00Z
We have some mixed feelings about our experience. There was apparently some confusion and Edwin did not know when we were coming down, even though it was clearly booked through airbnb. We received several emails stating to call him an hour before we arrived so he could meet us with the key. Unfortunately, after many attempted phone calls, texts, and emails we were unable to reach him. My parents were stranded with their two dogs and no place to stay at 7pm, after a 6 hour drive. Thank goodness Airbnb has great customer service and they were very helpful. They were even unable to reach Edwin, so my parents finally got a hotel room at 9pm. I then finally received a phone call back the next day at 10am. He said that he was under the impression that we were arriving Friday. I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but the reservation is set through airbnb. There should not have been any confusion about our arrival date. Also, why didn't he pick up the phone or respond to our emails?! After all the stress and frustration we went through, when my wife and I came to meet my parents on Friday, my father misplaced the key to the house. We called Edwin and he did pick up the phone then. He gave us the code to the lock box with a key. There was a lock box the whole time?! If he just would have put that in the directions, then there never would have been a problem... I do appreciate that he was understanding about the key, and we did find the key 10 minutes after calling him. We tried calling him again when we checked out to ask a question, and no response again..The house itself was as pictured, and clean. It was perfect for what we needed. It was also a great location. Overall, the house was very nice, but there was some major communication issues that were not appreciated. My wife and I have been airbnb users for a long time and this has never happened before! I loved the house, but I'm not sure we would stay again because of Edwin. I think if you are going to rent out a house, and you have people depending on you, then you should keep your cell phone on you and answer the phone.Derek2015-03-22T00:00:00Z
Dana Point was a pleasant surprise not overly touristy with lovely beaches and plenty to do! We stayed over 4th of July and the city had a great fireworks celebration. Ed was very responsive and the cottage was very comfortable with every conceivable convenience! The neighbors were friendly. You cannot ask for a more pleasant environment staying in this cute cottage. It was very kid friendly with plenty of sleeping room!ivy2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
The cottage was very cute, perfectly clean, recently remodeled and accommodated our group of 6 very comfortably. The kitchen is fully equipped and the back patio a great place for a BBQ. The location is perfect for a stay in Dana Point. Practically everything we wanted was within walking distance: the Saturday morning Farmer's Market, the Harbor, the best coffee in Dana Point at Crank $ Grind, fresh flowers at the flower stand on the corner. Christine was a great host, meeting us promptly to give us the keys, and responding quickly to any e-mails. Overall I highly recommend it.Laurie2014-07-15T00:00:00Z
Our host Ed, met us at the listing and gave us a tour of the property, where to park, and a tutorial of how to work the tv and dvd player. He was patient in answering our questions about where to buy groceries and good places to eat. The listing was just as it appeared on the website. Very quaint, neat, and organized. The neighborhood was quiet and family friendly. A very enjoyable experience.Dan2015-06-20T00:00:00Z
My family (wife, two teenage sons and Jack Russell Terrier) enjoyed staying in this 2-bedroom home in Dana Point during our two week holiday. We are So Cal natives that relocated to Switzerland a few years ago, and we make the annual trip back to OC during spring break from home was clean, well appointed with nice family room and back yard for relaxing, as well as well located in Dana Point within walking distance to several good restaurants, grocery store, etc. There also is a bike shop just down the street from the home that offers road and mountain bikes for rent. We rented bikes for a few days. Overall, a good location and a nice property, which I highly recommend.Michael2016-04-02T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay in Dana Pt at Jay's place. Quiet, clean beach bungalow!Cindy2016-07-19T00:00:00Z
Jay definitely was an amazing host. Little candy was waiting for us and the home was very welcoming . One of the bedroom doors had no door and I told him immediately and he had a gentlemen come and put in a new door the next morning . I loved the home and I felt like my own home .Danielle2016-05-16T00:00:00Z
Jay was very responsive before stay, during stay and even after stay! He is generous and his place is lovely.Ben2016-07-16T00:00:00Z
Jay has been truly amazing: great communication, early arrival, welcome amenities, making sure we were ok, etc... The place is very comfortable, private, quiet and impeccably clean. There is a Ralph's at a walkable distance from the house and shopping & restaurants not even 5 minutes driving from the house. You can be in Laguna, San Clemente and Newport in no time. I highly recommend this place and will for sure come back myself!Julien2016-11-17T00:00:00Z
From the beginning of the booking process Jay's communication has great! As we had never been to OC I had several questions and Jay responded with answer very quickly. This cute cottage was not only in the heart of the Latern District but clean from top to bottom. Because we came in on Christmas Day, Jay had arranged for food to be there for us. He truly went above and beyond. Many many thanks to Jay for making our stay in the OC a family vacation to remember. Can't wait to be back so look for us to rent again!!!Kathy2016-12-30T00:00:00Z
An outstanding experience containing all the necessities, accommodations, and amenities imaginable.Bradley2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Our family of four (2 parents and 2 young boys under 8) stayed at Jay's place on a short trip to Disneyland. This small unit worked perfectly for us as our trip was only 3 nights and just a 45 min drive to Anaheim. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen is very small, but we managed to make great meals getting creative with the small amount of counter space. It was great to have the basics already available in the kitchen like salt, pepper, condiments and olive oil. The bathroom was also fully stocked with at least 15 different shampoos and conditioners, as well as floss, Qtips and mouthwash! Jay is the fastest responder we've ever worked with on Airbnb. We couldn't figure out the tv remote volume and he responded instantly. The neighborhood was great too-- we could walk to a lot of restaurants, a grocery store and even a park for the kids. This is a great value and a great location.Shaun2017-02-22T00:00:00Z
Jay was a great host as usual. My wife and I enjoyed our 1st wedding anniversary weekend and Jay was quick and helpful to communicate and insure we had a great stay.Eric2016-09-27T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely and quite place. The room is spacious with a comfortable bed. The neighborhood is quite and closed to the ocean. Doris is very friendly and a very good host. On Sat we had a very early start for the fishing trip and she offered to cook breakfast for us. We will definitely go back to visit her again.george2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

Phillip is a great host. The bed is comfy and the bathroom very adequate. The bedroom is small, but it has a full closet and a small balcony. The patio view of the ocean is outstanding. You will need to drive or ride a bike up and down a fairly steep hill to get to restaurants (there are lots of them) as this home is in a safe and quiet gated community.Steve2017-02-11T00:00:00Z

Très belle maison, décorée avec goût. Une terrasse très agréable. Maison très bien équipée avec des équipements de qualité.jessie2017-03-02T00:00:00Z
This house was so cozy and made my family feel right at home! They did an amazing job with decorating the interior and left little touches like some wine and chocolates to fully stocked bathroom and most of the pantry things you would need. Loved the oven and kitchen/dining room area in general, we cooked a lot and loved that this house accommodates family time. The beds where comfy and there where so many comfy places to curl up and red a book. Perfect location, quiet but in the middle of everything you would need we walked to the beach and to the grocery store! Loved this place! And the hosts where great!Katie2016-12-22T00:00:00Z
The place is super clean and everything as the pictures I really would love to come againHussain2017-01-04T00:00:00Z
A very attractive space in a quiet neighborhood, yet within walking distance to the beach, grocery store, restaurants and shopping. The house was very clean and stacked with necessities and goodies which made settling in very easy. Would definitely recommend.Glen2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

We reserved a spot here after our Laguna Beach host cancelled on us. :-( Well, that turned out to be total luck and meant to be! Monarch beach is the perfect distance from Laguna Beach. I wouldn't change a thing. And, we could hear the amazing Pacific Ocean! I think we would have heard PEOPLE if we stayed at Laguna Beach. Susan and her family are the best! Clean. Friendly. Helpful. Thoughtful. Do not hesitate to reserve your getaway here. I'm so glad we did this.Emily2016-11-14T00:00:00Z
Susan was a gracious host and we really enjoyed our stay in her lovely home. She was responsive and accommodating. The room was exactly what we needed and exceeded our expectations. The bed was very cozy and the linens were fresh and clean. Her home was tastefully decorated and the feeling was warm and inviting. Highly recommended!Modesty2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

I stayed here during a conference at the Monarch Beach Resort. Susan's place is a surprisingly short walk and was a very comfortable stay. Great response rate, warm welcoming environment, and a beautiful home. Definitely recommend!Jeff2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

We stayed here three nights and loved it! The home is beautiful, immaculately clean and minutes from the beach, parks, the harbor, grocery stores and restaurants. Perfect, convenient location. The neighborhood was very nice. The beach would be close enough to walk to, if it weren't for the enormous hill the house sits atop. But it is easy to drive to and parking is only $1/hour. Only a code is needed to enter the garage and doors, so you don't need to meet up for a key, which is nice. When we arrived there was a welcome basket with tasty treats and small toys for the kids. And the house was gorgeous, the pictures don't do it justice. The Milagros sisters were easy to contact and answered all our questions well. The house has an excellent, fully equipped kitchen. The beds are comfy with nice bedding. Nice TV with Blu-ray player. Porch with charcoal grill and patio furniture. Beach toys, towels, chairs and umbrellas are all located in a private garage to park your car.Aaron2016-02-22T00:00:00Z
We found this to be a very clean and organized home in a nice neighborhood where we felt comfortable. Our hosts were organized and helpful which made our experience even better. We are active and spent most of the time on the beach and it was great coming back to this home to rest after a full day and we would like to thank the sisters for their thoughtfulness as nearly every detail was attended to.Kristi2016-03-29T00:00:00Z
Very clean, lives like a hotel! Extremely welcoming hosts and great neighborhood.Paul2016-07-09T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time in Dana Point thanks to the attention to detail and thoughtful welcome package. The house was very nice indeed, we especially enjoyed the nautical theme. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The location is awesome with quick access to the beach and the freeway.A2016-02-17T00:00:00Z
The house was emmaculate! We walked down to the beach everyday and it only took ten minutes! It was perfect for a beach getaway! The hosts made it so easy for us! We'd for sure go againLauren2016-08-02T00:00:00Z
Exceeded our expectations! Good convenient location in a pretty quiet neighborhood (except Tue morning when the garbage is collected). Maria & Jen were gracious and attentive hosts. The place was welcoming, super clean, comfortable, attractive and well supplied and equipped. We appreciated the attention to detail and the great information about the area. The recent remodel included a very nice kitchen with lots of utensils to cook and many options for coffee (I liked that a lot). Super well organized kitchen. I like the bare floors, attractive and you can see they are clean. Plenty of bedding and towels. Filtered drinking water supply. Great beach chairs and towels. We liked the air conditioning since it was pretty warm. Nice living room furniture where you can stretch out. Good fast wireless internet, I clocked it at 50mbps up / 5mbps download. The photos are very accurate, the only surprise is how much nicer it is! Thanks Jen and Marie!Casey2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay in the darling house in the Capistrano Beach area of Dana Point. Check-in and check-out was a breeze - everything was incredibly well documented with lots of great tips and suggestions. We visited several of the restaurants the hosts recommended and were not disappointed. The walk down to the beach involves a hill near the end, but we didn't find it any issue, and it provides a great view from the little park at the top as you go by. Would definitely consider this place again for next year! Thanks Jen and Maria!Ronald2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Location is great. Walked to the beach each day (about 15 minutes). View of the ocean during walks to the beach. Close drive to Dana Point downtown and Harbor. House is uniquely furnished with owners collection of artifacts, original art, and fine furnishings from all over the world. Very interesting to consider where she has been. My bed was very comfortable! Great floor plan and very comfortable for our large family. Great memory!Jeffrey2016-12-27T00:00:00Z
Barbara met us at the house and generously gave us the grand tour of her beautiful home. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable for our family weekend get away. There was a little mix up with weekends when originally booking but Barbara worked with us to accommodate our schedule and large family in her home. The kitchen and backyard were perfect for cooking and spending time together - complete with a BBQ, Ping Pong table, fireplace and plenty of chairs for seating. Each bedroom has a private bathroom which made it ideal for our large group, there were plenty of towels, sheets, and pillows though we did bring a few of our own. The view from the Master Bedroom patio is stunning! There are beaches and fabulous dining less than 5 minutes away and the best fish tacos you've EVER had at Shwack Grill! Barbara made some great local recommendations and made herself available via phone if needed. I would highly recommend Serendipity Villa for a lovely time with with your family in a high end beach adjacent home!Alexandra2016-06-21T00:00:00Z
Barbara was a great host and even allowed us to check in a little earlier as we arrived in the morning. Helped out tremendously with our day. The home was great four our many extended families with plenty of space for everyone to gather as well as private time when certain people needed their own space. Would recommend this place. Thanks Barbara!Nhung2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

so here's what I have left to read: Hocus Pocus, Bluebeard, Jailbird, and Slapstick. I started Jailbird long ago but can't really remember a thing from it. Hocus Pocus has caught my eye though, so I think I'll restart this goal there.
@postcard I have read some Kurt Vonnegut long long ago, can't even remember what exactly. Can you recommend any of your favorites? I will read it and we can discuss it later here
@sahlavit goodness i don't know how I missed your reply here. My apologies. my favorites by Vonnegut have been Mother Night, Cat's Cradle, Galapagos, Mr. Rosewater, and Slaughterhouse Five. But really, any of them. Sirens of Titan is quite challenging but interesting. Player Piano is also good and relevant to today's world, as is Timequake. A lot of people like Breakfast of Champions, but I thought it was just average for him. I just finished Deadeye Dick not too long ago and that was probably my least favorite, so perhaps not that one.
@aenea I remember reading Breakfast of Champions around the age of 13 or 14 and thinking it was pretty great stuff, though I thought the ending was a bit of an anti-climax. I wonder how it would strike me today, 40 years later?
There are some authors I read in school and college that I'd like to go back and rediscover, including Italo Calvino and Stanley Elkin.
@taylor and now I remember why I did not read more Calvino. I got stuck on If On A Winter's Night A Traveler....
Yes haha very funny writer.
I did adore Cosmicomics though so perhaps I'll give him another go. I know I have Marcovaldo sitting around somewhere.
@aenea So glad you know Calvino! I think I read Cosmicomics or Italian Folktales first. Cosmicomics blew my mind, as did If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. What made you get stuck? I also have Mr. Palomar and Six Memos for the Next Millenium. One of my favorite stories is the Argentine Ant, which made my skin crawl!
Stanley Elkin was a novelist from St. Louis. I read George Mills, which according to Wikipedia is "set in five parts, tells the family history of succeeding generations of characters named George Mills. The story covers more than 1,000 years from the First Crusade in Europe to the Ottoman Empire to present-day America. Elkin won the 1992 National Book Critics Circle Award in the fiction category for the novel."
@taylor george mills sounds fascinating - I'll have to add it to my reading list.
The repetitive and unfinished chapters left me frustrated with if on a winters night. And I get that that's part of the point but I just did not have the patience to finish it. The second storyline was not appealing enough for me I guess.

Electro-duo Fizzy Dino Pop doesn't technically hail from Japan (they come from Austin, Texas), but MySpace indicates one of them at least hails from Kyoto and their sound definitely shares a lot of similarities with the Land of the Rising Sun's pop scene, specifically one teched-out group of girls. A listen over the group's music available at MySpace reveals that at their best Fizzy Dino Pop sound like a slightly lower budget Perfume tracks, especially the dancey bliss out "Electric Future." The other available tunes lean towards the "chill-wave" sound of fellow Texan Neon Indian, but still end up sounding awesome. Keep an eye on these two.

Buttermilk Cupcakes with a Chocolate Butterfly Decoration
I recently had a birthday I needed to cater for and as much as I love baking and decorating cakes for myself I always find it a little scary doing them for someone else, because you really need to take into account their tastes, and not just what you fancy baking for yourself! The birthday girl in question can be very girly at times and absolutely loves butterflies so I wanted to do something that incorporated them. Usually I will do something with sugar paste but I wanted something a little bit more homemade and a bit more indulgent....read more
