Villas for Rent Paphos Cyprus

If you are looking for warm and nearly perfect weather almost any time of the year, with views of the ocean and the hills, Paphos may be the place for you.

The owners of Mr. Rent, Thaki (an English Cypriot) and Susan, who is English, can help you find the perfect villa for rent, either short or longer term. Susan is a wonderful matchmaker - so perfect for the job - and her biggest reward is always when she finds a real “home away from home” for someone.

Paphos on the western end of Cyprus was the birthplace of the Greek Goddess, Aphrodite. Paphos is steeped in history, with many famous ancient ruins and sites -including tombs, mosaics, caves and museums. So much so, that UNESCO has added Paphos to the World Cultural Heritage List.

Paphos is both the name of the town as well as the district (sort of like NY, NY) and the central point of the town is the delightful fishing harbour, surrounded by tavernas, restaurants and coffee shops. This area is also the home of the famous Paphos fort, which is built on the site of an earlier medieval castle.

Go visit the website and learn more about Cyprus. Then contact Thaki and Susan to find your villa.

Timber Frame Homes Tennessee

A timber frame home is one of the most structurally elegant dwellings possible if it is crafted properly. The form is related to function. The wood is beautiful. The care taken in creating the post and beam frame has a lasting quality that can be seen by generations, a tribute to the craft and the craftsman or woman.

Our friends Bruce and Cyndy Gardner are the owners of Homestead Timber Frames and they are committed to their craft. Their timber frame homes and other structures are worked by hand using efficient but not automated methods.

In a recent piece Bruce wrote, he said:

Each morning my short commute to work takes me by a beautiful rock bluff. A stand of seven Tulip poplars grows against that bluff, gray trunks straight as a taut line, each tree perfectly spaced from its neighbor. All of these trees stand at the same height. And all are nourished by the duff that accumulates at the base of the bluff. Man could not improve on this simple composition.

I reflect on the bluff and the poplars as I complete my drive, planning my day as I sail along. I realize that I and the folks I work with could do no worse that to emulate this stand of trees: perfectly sited, perfectly composed, patient in their sentinel way. The trees remind me that craft is art—or should be. They remind me that what we design and build must, like the poplars, be perfectly sited and perfectly composed. We only cherish, and therefore care for, things that serve us well, that are beautiful to look at, and that enrich our lives. Our task as designers and builders of timber frames is to ensure that what we build is cherished.

Homestead Timber Frames is located on Cumberland Plateau in the small town of Crab Orchard right downtown just north of Interstate 40 between Nashville and Knoxville.

Used Bicycles for Sale Online

If you enjoy bicycling as I have over the years, you know that good quality bicycles can cost a lot more than what I paid for my old pickup truck.

High end riders will spend a lot of money to save a pound. One of the results of weight and technology improvements in cycling is that there are a lot of really good used bicycles out there. In my case I have at least two that would enjoy having a new owner.

The Bike Trader is one of my friend's efforts to be involved in a market that he really loves and diversify his income. Taking on the used bicycle market is a challenging task, many of the good search phrases have 10 million plus competing pages.

This website has been online for a little over three months and is starting to move up. As the user contributed content grows I think the website will prosper. If you have a bicycle you want to sell, go take advantage of the free listing offer.
