<p><a href="http://www.luxurywaterfronts.com/" title="Luxury Waterfronts"><img src="http://blog.ewm.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/230/files/2007/08/recentviewne1.jpg" alt="View North" height="233" width="543" /></a></p>
<p>Quiza uno de los edificios mas lujosos que se construyen en el sur de la Florida es One Bal Harbour localizado en la parte Norte de Bal Harbour, Florida, construido por WCI Communities, uno de las mejoras constructoras de condiominios de lujo y de comunidades de Goldf en Florida, New York, New Jersey y Pensilvania.</p>
<p>Ellos estan construyendo su primer Condo Hotel combinado con un Condominio de lujo.</p>
<p>One Bal Harbour esta construido en el lote donde estuvo por muchos anos el Harbour House, el cual fue demolido  y en su lugar se contruyo este edificio de 26 pisos con 185 condominios desd 2 habitaciones y 110 habitaciones de Hotel tipo suite, de 1 habitacion y una de dos habitaciones.</p>
<p>Este terreno tan hermoso esta localizado en el &#8220;Inlet&#8221; de Halouver por donde entran y salen los botes al mar desde la Bahia. Tiene un terreno de playa muy amplio para el uso de sus afortunados residentes y de los clientes que se queden el Hotel de 5 estrellas, el Regent Bal Harbour.</p>
<p>El Hotel Regent contara con un servicio de guantes blancos, con sus servicios de &#8220;Concierge&#8221;, servicio a la habitacion, restaurante, bar, el SPA de Guerlein de 10,000 pies. Fuera de su propia piscina, los residentes tendran acceso a la piscina del Hotel y atodos los servicios del Hotel como si se estuviesen quedando en el Hotel. Los residentes tendran la privacidad y seguridad de vivir en el condo mas lujoso de Miami con los servicios de un Hotel de 5 estrellas, una combinacion ideal. .</p>
<p>Nosotros recientemente visitamos el edifico casi terminado y subimos al piso 9 desde donde apreciamos una vista incomparable del &#8220;Inlet&#8221; y todo el parque de Halouver con su maravillosa playa, Bahia, Oceano y una vista por millas de 180 grados, es absolutamente increible. Muchos condominios tienen vistas espectaculares del Oceania y aun de la bahia pero pocos te permiten tener esas vistas mas una vista que por millas hacias el Norte te dejan ver tambien las luces de Sunny Isles Beach, Aventura y el parque de Oleta, lo unico que podiamos decir quien tuvimos la fortuna de ver esa vista fue, WOW, WOW, WOW</p>
<p>Al llegar a la unidad tomamos el elevador de esa linea el cual nos llevo directamente a la unidad, una vez adentro pudimos apreciar los techos de 10 pies de altura, la cocina espectacular con cabinetes Europeos, con electrodoesticos de acero inoxible de marcas como Miele, el enfriador de vinos y la maquina de Epxresso.</p>
<p>EL bano principal es supremamente amplio moderno y decorado con un gusto exquisito y marmol de la mejor calidad.</p>
<p>EL cuarto de lavado donde esta la lavadora / secadora y fregadero es super amplio con muchos cabinetes de almacenamiento. La Terraza es amplia con la vista espectacular y viene ya con pizos.</p>
<p>Lo unico que hay que agregar es los pisos al gusto del comprador, pintar y poner unas lamparas y estara listo a vivir en uno de los lugares mas codiciados de Miami. APreoveche a comprar ahora que vienen los cierres y los inversionastas que compraron con objeto de revender se han encontrado con un mercado debil y estan dispuestos a vender sus apartamentos basicamente a los precios que ellos contrataron hace 4 años cuando el mercado de propiedades no se habia calentado tanto.</p>
<p>Por ejemplo el Hotel St Regis tambien en Bal Harbour en el lugar en que el Sheraton Bal Harbour queda, sera demolido y estan vendiendo apartamentos que seran construidos empezando a fines de ano. Estos apartamentos se estan vendiendo por $1,200 y mas por pie cuadrado. EN recientes reventas de edificios construidos en los ultimos 15 anos en Bal Harbour, los precios por pie cuadrado han estado por los $800 el pie. Como One Bal Harbour se vendio originalemtne en preconstruccion hace 4 anos, los precios que puedes conseguir hoy en dia estan entre los $650 y los $750 por pie.</p>
<p>No todo el mundo puede vivir en los mejores sitios pero para los que pueden comprar hoy en dia, en estas epocas de crisis a $600 as $800 el pie, podran gozar de uno de los mejores sitios del planeta a precios del 2,003 antres de las subidas especulativas del 2,004 y 2,005.</p>
<p>Mire todo lo que hay construido y por construir en Miami Beach, Bal Harbour y Sunny Isles Beach, incluya Hollywood y aun Key Biscayne y luego venga con nostros a One Bal Harbour para apreciar porque decimos que One Bal Harbour es un edificio simplemtne especial a un precio con mucho potencial de apreciacion!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center">There are may nice places to leave in Miami, but having the choice where to live, 360 has to rank as one of the best places to live in South Florida.</p>
<p><img src="http://extimages2.living.net/ImagesHomeProd6/FL/idx/photos/miamimls/94/D1214598.jpg" alt="Photo Slide Show" border="0" height="335" width="491" /></p>
<p>Located in an Island off Miami Beach with maginificent views of the Bay and the Marina, close to some of my favorites restaurants like Prima Pasta, Ragazzi &amp; Oggi(Italian), Benihana (Japanese), Vacas Gordas (Argentinian), Siam Bay Shore (Thai).</p>
<p>The building has:</p>
<p>414 Condos en 6.8 acres</p>
<p>Elevated pool with spa and bayviews in The West Tower</p>
<p>Bayside Pool and clubhouse East Tower</p>
<p>24 hr. guard service at entry gate, each lobby, and roving patrol &amp; Valet Parking</p>
<p>State-of-the-art fitness center with men and women&#8217;s saunas and locker rooms</p>
<p>It is close to Biscayne and therefore to downtown Miami, Design District and Arts Dictrict</p>
<p>It is off Miami Beach and therefore close to South Beach and its electric day and night life but in a more relax setting</p>
<p>It is just a few minutes away from the Beach and the shopes of Bal Harbour with even more restaurants and shopping opportunites.</p>
<p>Because of the slow Housing Market there are some incredible opportunities to rent apartments in this brand new comlex with 1,2 and 3 bedroom apartments with Gourmet Kitchen with Granite Countertops, GE Profile Steel Appliances, Marble in Kitchen and Foyer, separate shower SPA in Master Bath, ample closets, assigned parking and valet</p>
<p>RENTALS</p>
<p>1 Bedroom From $1,600</p>
<p>2 Bedrooms From $1,700 WOW!!</p>
<p>3 Bedrooms From $2,300</p>
<p>FOR SALE</p>
<p>1 Bedroom From $299,000</p>
<p>2 Bedrooms From $360,000</p>
<p>3 Bedrooms From $520,00</p>
<p>The biggest bargain are the 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom apartments most with views of the Bay or the Marina. There are 77 apartments for rent, 10 of them are just waiting for Association approval so there are 65 apartments available. Of these just 48 are 2/2. At an average of 15 rentals per month there is only a 4 month inventory and not all rentals are reasonable priced, so do not wait, rent new, rent in an Island, live a great live and be close to everything!</p>
<p>We have 4 apartments 2/2 available for rent from $1,750 with views.</p>
<p>Come and visit them we love to show them off!</p>

<p>Staph infections have long been associated with hospital and health care facilities and it can now been found in public places where people share towels, mats and clothes, such as gyms, schools, etc.</p>
<p>30% of the population carries the germs in their noses at any given time without having any symptoms, although they can still pass the germs onto others. Healthy individuals can live with it but it presents a higher risk for the older population, children, people with compromised immune systems and workers in the health care industry. Most cases can be treated with antibiotics and proper medical supervision.</p>
<p>So no need to panic, and for some common sense tips on how to prevent <em><strong>MRSA</strong></em>, click on the <a href="http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_action=doc&amp;p_docid=11C9AC8A43049540&amp;p_docnum=1">Miami Herald </a>link and keep yourself and your family safe.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a fun Halloween brunch treat&#8230;a jack-o-lantern fritata.  This recipe is for a big one to serve 15-20 people, you can scale it down as needed.</p>
<p>24 eggs</p>
<p>24 drops of red food coloring (one per egg to make it pumpkin orange)</p>
<p>2 bunches scallions, sliced thinly</p>
<p>1 red pepper, sliced thinly</p>
<p>8 oz.  grated parmegian or other cheese</p>
<p>sliced black olives for the face</p>
<p>Pre-heat oven to 350. Saute scallions and pepper in olive oil, just to sweat and soften.  Set aside.  Beat eggs with food coloring and 6 oz. of the cheese.  Fold in scallions and peppers.  Pour mixture into non-stick pan and cook on stove top until bottom browns and it just begins to bubble and solidfy.  Transfer to oven and watch until it is just set enough to put olives on top&#8211;about 12 minutes for this big one, less for smaller ones.  Remove from oven and make a face out of the sliced olives.  Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over the top.  Change oven to broil and heat the whole thing until the cheese begins to bubble and browns slightly.  Remove from oven and let cool down.  Transfer to serving dish.  You don&#8217;t want to overcook this, ideally it should be a little loose in the middle. Enjoy.</p>

Although pink flamingos have long been the image for Florida wildlife, we have some scary looking critters here.</p>
<p>I spotted this handsome fellow along the linear park on Red Road in <a href="http://www.pinecrest-fl.gov/"><strong>Pinecrest</strong></a>.</p>
<p>I will never forget the time I took a couple, recently relocated from Boston, to <strong><a href="http://www.fairchildgarden.org/">Fairchild Tropical Garden</a></strong>.  As I was talking and showing them all the beautiful foliage the woman suddenly grabbed my arm and practically climbed up my back.  About five <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSLUwmJOo_M"><strong>Jesus lizards</strong></a><strong>, </strong>which run upright on their hind legs, darted right in front of us and ran across the water.  As her eyes followed their path, she focused on a pair of huge iguanas.  &#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m in Jurassic Park!&#8221; she exclaimed.  &#8220;Welcome to Florida,&#8221; I replied.</p>
