More Info On Excellent Cond:

Air Conditioner Reviews usually take BTU and EER numbers into account. BTU stands for British Thermal Units, and these numbers can range from 5,000 to 18,000. The higher the BTU of an air conditioner, the more powerful it is at cooling. But it also increases the cost of the air conditioner. Normally, the BTU of an air conditioner required for cooling a room is calculated by multiplying the square foot area of the room by 35.

EER stands for Energy Efficiency Ratio. These numbers indicate the amount of energy they consume. An air conditioner with a higher EER will use less energy and hence will save money on electricity bills. EER numbers range from 8.2 to 10.5.

The brand leaders in the air conditioner market are Carrier, Kenmore, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Sharp, Panasonic and Friedrich. All are available in a wide range of BTU and EER ratings. Carrier air conditioners are by far the best. They are known for their extreme noiseless function, quick cooling and long lives of compressor and condenser. Carrier air conditioners are also the most expensive air conditioners in the market. Some of the newer Carrier models have replaced the environmentally harmful Freon-22 with Puron, a less polluting liquid.

Kenmore air conditioners also have excellent reviews in the air conditioner market. They are known for their high cooling capacities and extremely well advanced EERs, which cut electricity costs. Also their designs are quite sleek and contemporary, giving them the added edge over other air conditioners.

Whirlpool and LG also have good reputations, but they do better business in Asia. They are both reliable, trusted brands with good quality air conditioners at a comparatively lower price.

Due to the tremendous competition in the market of air conditioners, each brand spends millions of dollars in researching and perfecting new features every summer. Friedrich air conditioners have devised a money-saver feature, which saves electricity bills by making the fan move in synchronization with the cycle of the air conditioner itself. Most companies now use dehumidifiers and fragrances in their air conditioning ducts to lend them an added appeal.

Majorca Hotels Win Quality Awards

No less than 3 hotels in Majorca have received Excellence and Leisure Nominations and Awards, further proving that the popular Spanish island is the perfect holiday destination year round.

Winter holidays in Majorca are more peaceful and relaxing than their summertime counterparts. With winter temperatures often 15 degrees Celsius (nearly 60 degrees Fahrenheit), even wintertime walks on Mallorca's white sand beaches can be amazing.

The Hotel Aimia in Puerto Soller on the northwest coast of Majorca received a nomination as one of four contenders in the Most Excellent European Value for Money Award.

Many of the Aimia Hotel's rooms face the Puerto de Soller and offer breathtaking views of Majorca's white sand beaches. Nearby Port De Soller is the only commercial seaport in the Serra De Tramuntana.

Porto Petro Beach Resort Hotel, opened three years ago in 2005, is neatly tucked into two beautiful, sandy coves along a half mile stretch of Mediterranean coastline in Porto Petro. This 300 room waterfront resort was nominated for the Most Excellent European Value for Money Award.

Porto Petro Beach Resort offers the Blaudi Club for Kids. Kids ages 2 to 17 can play all day in age-appropriate playgroups, play in the pool and other sports in an area especially designed with kids in mind.

In nearby Lake Martel, the Caves of Drach offer visitors the opportunity to take boat rides or enjoy classical concerts in one of the inside chambers of the cave. Lake Martel is one of the world's largest underground lakes.

Another one of the hotels in Majorca, La Residencia, received second place in Best Leisure Hotels in Europe, Asia Minor and the Russian Federation via the Conde Nast Traveller Magazine. In addition, La Residencia also received:

* #34 in the 2007 Conde Nast World's Top 100 hotels
* #2 Best Hotel in the Travel and Leisure's 500 Best Hotels in the World
* #4 Best Hotel Spa in Europe in the Conde Nast Traveller's Best Spas in Europe
* El Olivo Restaurant, La Residencia's Restaurant, Best Restaurants in Spain in the Restauradores Awards
* Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in the Wine Spectator Awards

La Residencia, set in 30 acres of citrus groves, offers 59 rooms and suites housed in two manor houses dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The La Residencia hotel, elegantly furnished in Majorca antiques, houses three restaurants including the award winning El Olivo Restaurant.

Majorca has been a major summer holiday destination for several years.

Many people don't realize the magnificent deals to be taken advantage of during the winter months. Winter visitors can stay at the same beautiful, award-winning hotels and resorts for a fraction of the summer price.

Winter time is also the season when you can enjoy newly ripened citrus fruit from the local groves. Holiday packages can be booked for as little as 325 euros in the off peak seasons.

Many people prefer the slower paced winter holidays to the hustle and bustle of the busy summer holiday season.

Temperatures in the winter season range from 6 degrees Celsius (42 degrees Fahrenheit) to 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit). These mild temperatures help make Majorca the perfect wintertime destination for those who enjoy cooler temperatures and mild winter weather, so if you're planning a New Year or winter holiday - think of Majorca and just how good the hotels in Majorca are!

Would someone help me guesstimate the resale value of an O'Neil dry suit - for scuba diving?

I have a womans size 14, O'neil Neoprene dry suit for scuba diving. Barely used - less than 10 dives, reinforced seals, excellent cond. It belonged to an old friend who wanted me to sell it on e-bay for her. This was about 2-3 years ago & at the time her asking price was $650 - lowest price - $500. (I never got around to posting it for her) I'd like to hurry up & get rid of it, but I've got no idea how much it is worth?!?! $500-$600 sounds ridiculous to me. I've browsed on e-bay & craigs list & no wet/dry suits bring nearly that much - even brand new! Would someone with some scuba knowledge please help me determine how much it is really worth? THANX

Depends on the seals and their condition, front entry or rear. You don't mention boot size either, which can be a factor if it has unusually large or small boots that may need changing.
If they're latex seals and in good condition you can usually command an extra 50 bucks over neoprene seals. Boots, if they need changing can dramatically influence the price by about 150 bucks.
10 dives and assuming neoprene seals, back entry, no boot change and overall good condition (stored properly), you should be able to fetch 600-700 bucks (canadian).
