			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">When you consider all aspects of personal care and hygiene, many people tend to overlook the care that should go into their hair.  Although hair is only dead skin cells, that does not mean that it should not be properly cared for!  Neglecting to care for your hair could result in many health problems—and cause you to become unpopular among your friends and colleagues.  Additionally, taking good care of your hair can help to prevent hair loss and balding.  It is as simple as following basic nutrition and hygiene guidelines.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Normal Hair Growth And How To Speed Up The Process</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The average head has over 100,000 hairs, each of them sitting in hair follicles that lie just underneath the skin.  No one hair follows exactly the same growth cycle; they all grow independently of one another.  In normal hair growth, there are three main stages: anagen (the growth stage), catagen (the transition stage), and telogen (the resting stage). The growth stage can last for as long as seven years.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Speeding up hair growth can be a matter of getting the proper amount of vitamins and nutrients.  A deficiency in nutrition can lead to dull, stringy hair, and even temporary hair loss!  A common side effect of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia is hair loss.  This indicates that eating the proper amount of food is important to preventing baldness.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">There are several essential vitamins that aid hair growth.  Deficiencies in these specific vitamins can cause problems with hair growth.  Zinc and biotin (which is related to vitamin B) are both associated with hair health.  Zinc can be found in meat and eggs, while biotin can be found in most protein sources.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Another hair care essential is having enough fat in your diet.  People on low-fat and no-fat diets are often at risk to suffer hair health consequences, because they can cause the scalp to dry up.  Omega-3 fatty acids can help to ensure a healthy scalp and crop of hair.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Healthy Hygiene Help</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Another aspect of hair care is regularly washing it with shampoo and conditioner.  For people with abnormal hair conditions, such as dandruff, there are special shampoos available to help treat them.  It is also important to limit flat-ironing and blow-drying your hair, because this can cause it to dry out.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The Hair Makes The Person</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Hair care reflects a lot about your health habits and how much you value personal appearance.  To avoid baldness and stringy, dead, or dry hair, follow nutrition and personal hygiene basics.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">More than 400,000 cameras are always monitoring us in a car park, station, shopping complex, on our way to office or may be even in our private spaces, unwanted. General people are day by day supporting its presence to fight against internal and international crime.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">In post 9/11 scenario, CCTV cameras are being installed more and more round the corner primarily for better and entrusted public security.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">This CCTV monitoring is widespread not simply in our own country. Recorders are being installed on the Trans Europe Motorway from the Greek border through Turkey towards Ankara. This is covering a distance of 700 kilometres. This huge project supports over 1,400 camera inputs and 480 audio channels and it is probably the largest networked recording Security surveillance system contracted until today.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Fifty wi-fi enabled CCTV cameras are installed across central London that may revolutionize the police patrolling system within 18 months of trial period. In recent future, police will be able to track a suspect from a handheld device as the system can be controlled locally within that network coverage.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">One thing must be mentioned here that, general people may also use such technology as IFSEC hand-held PDA applications provide security personnel with the ability to view both live or recorded camera images from any installation, located anywhere in the world.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">However, this may end up the age long debate that these closed circuit TV cameras only can record a crime in progress. Now the police persons will have more opportunity to reach the spot and take necessary actions on time.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Future really holds hard for drug dealers, peddlers, and an easy finder of parking spaces for citizens.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Nevertheless, currently there are no cost effective night vision systems available for object identification for distances from 150 metres to 2000 metres. On the other hand, active infrared systems have a narrow field of view that makes navigation and orientation difficult.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Still there are some cameras available in the market that can serve the purpose as good. These cameras are ideal for covert applications since they utilises a laser light that operates below the visible spectrum to illuminate the target area.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">However, it all depends on the needs of the users.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">There is a good lot of software like EVIS that can provide tailor-made solution for the end users and is flexible enough to meet all custom requests by the use of a modular system.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Is there any harm in taking protection beforehand if the users are conscious of their social limits and responsibilities! Time to decide.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">As with any game bingo too has its own set of terms that are commonly used. In this article I will attempt to familiarize you with the common bingo terms you are inevitably going to encounter.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">One player: When a player is one number away from winning.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Bingo board: This is the board that displays a random set of numbers, instead of the numbers being called out. This board is usually very large so everyone playing the game can easily view it. It also helps players who have missed the numbers or who are slow.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Buy in and minimum buy in:  The minimum number of cards that qualify you as a player of the game.  The buy in varies with each game. Minimum buy-in is the least amount of money that you will need to spend if you want to enter the game and be counted among one of the contenders for the prize up for grabs.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Caller: This person is an important part of the game however he or she does not play the game. The caller is a person that calls out the numbers as the numbered are drawn.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Coverall: This type of bingo game requires that all the numbers on the bingo card be covered in order to win. This type of bingo is not commonly played.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Dauber: In order to mark the numbers on the bingo card easily a pen with a thick foam tip is used. This pen is called a dauber and is thick enough to mark the whole number easily.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Bingo booklet: This bingo booklet has a number of sheets depending on the game. Each sheet is a different color. These sheets are organized in sequence in which the game will be played.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Six-pack and nine-pack: The number of numbers on a bingo card during a specific game.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Wrap up: This usually means the end of a game. Bingo is played at many times of the day and for each time there is a specific name for example: moonlight bingo which commences with the moon is seen. And the early bird game that starts very early in the morning.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Bingo terminology is fairly easy to pickup as with any other game in bingo you will have to utilize these terms in order to be a respected player. As with any game if you are new to it then you might forget or substitute the term for another word. But that&#8217;s ok as long as you have fun and make lots of friends in the process.</div>

Reef tanks are beautiful and exotic and for some a piece of nature. The primary filtration for reef aquariums usually comes from the use of large amounts of live rock which come from various rubble zones around existing reefs. Researchers are finding that saltwater fish aquariums have therapeutic health benefits. The tanks are usually constructed from either glass or acrylic. With advances in modern aquariums it&#8217;s recently became possible to have a piece of coral reef at home and enjoy it in the privacy of your living room without getting wet with saltwater aquarium. A reef aquarium or reef tank is an aquarium containing live corals and other animals associated with coral reefs. Unlike the marine aquarium, the main purpose of which is to house various types of fish, the true stars of the reef tank are the coral and other invertebrates. As the aquariums we maintain contain more and more diverse animal life, the need for more complete additives becomes more of a necessity, and the make-up of these additives has to be more geared to the new type of aquariums, in order to satisfy the requirements of all the animal life we now keep. Water movement is important in the reef aquarium with different types of coral requiring different flow rates. Building water momentum using a gyre is an efficient method to increase flow, thus benefiting coral respiration and photosynthesis. Some corals such as the Mushroom Coral and Coral Polyps require very little light to thrive – conversely, LPS coral such as Brain coral, Bubble Coral, Elegance Coral, Cup Coral, Torch Coral, and Trumpet Coral require moderate amounts of light, and Small Polyp Stony Corals (SPS) such as Acropora Coral, Montipora, Porites, Stylopora and pocillopora require high intensity lighting.   Stony corals, which are defined by their calcerous calcium carbonate skeletons (CaCO3), are the focus of many advanced reef keepers.<span id="more-4296"></span>These corals require additional attention to water chemistry, especially maintenance of stable and optimal calcium, carbonate, and pH levels. A reef aquarium requires appropriately intense lighting, turbulent water movement, and more stable water chemistry than fish-only marine aquaria.   Nano reefs are very commonly sold as complete kits which contain the tank, stand, power compact T5, T8, PL lamps or Metal Halide lighting, protein skimmer, UV sterilizer, 3 or more stage filtration, a heater and a water pump or power head.   However, many Nano reef keepers decide to upgrade their aquariums with better quality equipment such as a more powerful protein skimmer or lighting. Nano reefs tanks require even more diligence with regard to water changes and attention to water chemistry because the small water volume provides little room for error. Care must be exercised when stocking these tiny tanks because too many inhabitants can easily overload the tank&#8217;s ability to process wastes effectively.</p>

<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Commonly the skin works the hardest, but it is also the most ignored.  Since we give most of our attention to caring for our internal organs, we forget the fact that it is the skin that shields everything else and holds all of our other body parts together.  And because we neglect to see its significance, breakouts and other skin problems surface.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Many of us want a beautiful garden to relax in and to show off to our neighbors or anyone who happens to pass by our house. When we get this great idea to landscape our yard we get the itch to start before our time &#8211; but before we start digging into the soil we first need to slow down, sit down, and design it. This means that all those plans in your head need to be put on paper.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Examine your yard (front and back) and imagine in your head what you want to see in your garden. Make a list of everything you want it to have. This list can include trees, flowers, herbs, shrubs, a fountain, and even a pond if you have enough space. Once you have made this list try to think of where you would like to place everything and how you would like it to look. Try to put on paper what you would like. You could always ask someone more professional to draw it out for you and can even ask them if the plants that you want are going to work in your garden.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Remember that any plant you choose must be able to grow easily in your garden. Because of this you need to place them in places where they can get the desired amount of sunlight. Depending on what time of year you will start planting will depend on what flowers you can grow. You may want to wait till spring to grow the ones you really want and that will brighten your garden.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">You want your garden to last for a very long time &#8211; which means that you need to choose plants that are durable and will be able to grow well with others and to last longer then most. This will save you money in the long run and keep your garden from looking shabby.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Don’t be afraid to mix the plants up and to make things look more colorful and alive. Pick plants that are both small and large. Just make sure that the plants can grow together. You don’t need a larger plant choking out and hiding the smaller ones. You may want to place them far enough part to ensure this.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">You can have a pond or fountain in your backyard &#8211; which makes for a great center point to any garden and a place for you to relax. Around these beautiful center pieces you can place smaller and more colorful flowers that will help to set it off and draw the eyes of people to it.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Once you have chosen what you want and picked where you would like them placed you can break ground and begin planting your very own special haven.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Risqué as it may sound, the micro bikini is what the term suggests: a bikini which leaves very little to the imagination as it is extremely small in terms of the material and the coverage. If the prospect of wearing bikinis make you blush because of its erotic allure, micro bikinis will surely flush you red all over because of its appearance—or lack thereof.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Micro bikinis are very, very small versions of the bikini. They leave little to the imagination of those who can see it because it covers a bare minimum of the wearer&#8217;s body. Perhaps not even covering anything at all. The top and bottom of the bikini only covers the most sensitive part of the woman&#8217;s body. It barely covers the nipples, the buttocks and the crotch of the wearer. Similarly related to the g-string bikinis in terms of appearance, most micro-bikinis are made of string and very small pieces of cloth—usually triangular and teardrop shaped—which covers the nipples, the crotch and the buttocks. The aim is to conceal only the most erotic of women&#8217;s zones and nothing more.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Not only because of its very provocative form is the micro bikini only for a select few of the women&#8217;s population. The micro bikini is made only for those who are blessed in terms of physical assets. As the size and shape of this type of bikini is made with showing off the body in mind—only those who are daring enough to show what they have can wear the micro bikini.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The micro bikini is made for those who are utterly confident with their bodies as it exposes pretty much every nook and cranny of a woman&#8217;s sensuality. It is perfect for summer getaways in daring summer locations. This is made for those women who love to show off their curves and assets with the intention of getting a very even tan with minimal tan lines.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Apart from the physical demands of the micro bikini, the micro bikini also demands that the wearer get a bikini wax—a Brazilian wax, perhaps—in order to remove the hair in the pubic region so as to add to more appeal from the wearer. The woman would not obviously want hair from the nether region to be all over the place while she is wearing this provocative attire.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">While the tankini and the one piece bathing suit suits pretty much every shape and size, the micro bikini is not for everyone. Such types of clothing have aroused several controversies as the micro bikini is next to being nude. As such, the micro bikini is banned from wholesome beaches where the aim is to keep the family atmosphere. This is because the micro bikini is very sexually suggestive, if not overtly sexual.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">The micro bikini is only for those who are very liberated. Because the prospect of showing off all of your assets is not far from micro bikinis. And there is in fact nothing left for conservatism with this type of fashion. If you prefer the maximum of sex appeal with the minimum of coverage, then the micro bikini is definitely for you. Sensual and inviting, the micro bikini is something a women can wear outdoors and indoors—in private places if only to excite the imagination of your partner, if you know what we mean.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">We spend the whole year looking forward to the summer, and when it does come, we find ourselves with nothing suitable to wear. Then we rush to the shops, buy the first thing we see, and then the weather changes! So we are out and about, with plans and invitations, and nothing suitable to wear yet again.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Well, in this article, we aim to help you avoid such situations. Firstly, plan ahead. Don’t buy things that don’t look like you or that look neither versatile nor likely to go with later fashion seasons. Secondly, TRY TO REMAIN CALM. Not every sale you pass it offering you things that you will look better in than you do in your current outfits, especially once the colour fades a bit or it starts to catch lint.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Instead, focus on the material a dress is made out of – will it still be as good when the temperature changes? &#8211; and the quality of the finishing – are there bits of thread hanging off it? and does the sewing look like it was done by a blind robot?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Try to wear matching colours, colours that also match the season, in cuts that suit the occasion, and materials that will keep you at the optimum temperature. Get a cardigan you can wrap around yourself, on top of your cotton dress, in case you are still at a party when night falls. This way when you get cold, you already have a change of clothes on you. Everyone is into layering. Shrugs, cardigans and wraps keep you warm in case the barmy british summer turns against you. These are key to outfit building and making your summer dress more versatile so you can wear it to different occasions and really get value for money out of it</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Keep in mind that dark colours are for the winter months, because they absorb all the sunlight, so choose a bright and colourful outfit, or a colourful cardigan to go with a black or dark coloured cotton dress.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">If you travel, consider choosing a crinkle finish Cotton Dress so that you won’t need to panic if you need something to wear when you have only just arrived and opened your suitcase. They are amazingly adaptable and offer a quick change of clothes.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Cotton is great for a hot day, so as soon as the weather forecasts get optimistic for warm weather, get your cotton dresses ready and choose a cut level that suits where you are going to be. If you are going to anything that permits a casual look, think cotton for a good fit that doesn’t remind you that you are wearing it and allows you to enjoy the day without worrying about your clothes.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Linen offers a shinier and often classier impression – this is what to wear if you want to make a bit of a splash – if you want to look and feel like someone special or someone who wants to make a special occasion out of an evening.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">If you are going to be at a garden party, picnic or other on-the-lawn event, make sure you wear a sleeveless top that shows off your shoulders. Keep sunscreen and something that keeps you warm and dry handy in case it gets cloudy, windy or rainy. Remember that wearing a dress in a vibrant colour makes you look bright and cheerful, which makes others respond to you in a bright and cheerful way, which can’t be bad.</div>
<div>We spend the whole year looking forward to the summer, and when it does come, we find ourselves with nothing suitable to wear. Then we rush to the shops, buy the first thing we see, and then the weather changes! So we are out and about, with plans and invitations, and nothing suitable to wear yet again.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Well, in this article, we aim to help you avoid such situations. Firstly, plan ahead. Don’t buy things that don’t look like you or that look neither versatile nor likely to go with later fashion seasons. Secondly, TRY TO REMAIN CALM. Not every sale you pass it offering you things that you will look better in than you do in your current outfits, especially once the colour fades a bit or it starts to catch lint.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Instead, focus on the material a dress is made out of – will it still be as good when the temperature changes? &#8211; and the quality of the finishing – are there bits of thread hanging off it? and does the sewing look like it was done by a blind robot?</div>

Sound too good to be true?Now offered by Waterfront Lifestyles International, this is the latest concept for Florida&#8217;s seniors. The retirement community is a luxury cruise ship, complete with dining room, cocktail lounges, night club, library/Internet cafe, spa, fitness room, cigar bar, shops, medical center, sun deck, hot tub, casino and shuffleboard. The ship is located in Cape Canaveral with proximity to Orlando and famous central Florida attractions including Disneyworld, Sea World, Universal Studios and the space launches. Residents actually own a 1/100th share of the ship that includes stateroom for two, meals and use of ship facilities. Similar to a condo, they pay a maintenance fee proportionate to the size and cost of their stateroom (range from 125-330 square feet). This fee goes toward the ship&#8217;s operating expenses. Since you are not purchasing real estate, the sale will not be subject to property taxes, or closing fees. The members actually form a Homeowners Association to make decisions about the ship&#8217;s maintenance and monitor fluctuation of monthly fees. The ship is currently referred to as &#8220;Alegria&#8221;, but the Homeowners Association will have the final say in its name. Profit from the shops, bars, casino and spa go back into the maintenance fund to subsidize the operating budget. Ship Amenities include: &#8211; Weekly housekeeping- 12 guest cabins available for free stays for friends and family (includes meals)- Cashless Casino for recreation when ship is docked, but boosts up to authentic gaming casino when at sea. &#8211; Access to ship laundry- Shuttle bus for shopping, events and site seeing- Staterooms have flat screen TV&#8217;s, telephones, and high-speed internet access- All rooms are outside units with large windows &#8211; Monthly cruise to Bahamas and annual cruise to the Caribbean &#8211; Membership to local Golf &amp; Tennis Country Club &#8211; Parking- Storage facilities Costs range from about $2500 to $5,500/month for two people including meals and weekly housekeeping. Actually pretty reasonable, when you consider the cost of a retirement home is usually much higher for one person. An average seniors home may be between $1,000 and $3,000/month for one person, or from $6,000 to $8,000 for upscale facilities. Investors can even put off purchasing until they retire, and rent in the meantime. Residents are also permitted to rent out their staterooms, but only for a minimum one year lease<span id="more-4306"></span>After viewing their brochures, if you&#8217;re still interested, leave a refundable $10,000 deposit to hold the stateroom that most interests you, and you can board the ship and view the facilities first hand. If it&#8217;s not what you&#8217;re looking for, the deposit is totally refundable. Alegria the first cruise vessel being offered by Waterfront Lifestyles, but they hope to add additional ships in Tampa, Jacksonville, Palm Beach and Sarasota.</p>
