(PRWEB) July 19, 2004

J. Hilary Rockett, Jr., co-owner of The Salem Waterfront Hotel and Condominiums recently announced the offering of "Concierge Living" in the newly constructed Salem Waterfront Condominiums at Pickering Wharf in Salem, Mass. Concierge Living is the experience of a luxury vacation lifestyle in a privately owned, residential condominium. Fourteen two-bedroom and two one-bedroom spectacular residences are designed for concierge living on the top two floors of The Salem Waterfront Hotel.

Concierge living merges residing in an elegant, private condominium with enjoying all of the finest amenities of a most gracious hotel. The residents of Salem Waterfront Condominiums will live just steps away from their boats moored at newly constructed private docks, Zagat-rated restaurants and world class museums. Pickering Wharf is home to Salem’s enchanting history, fantastic yachting, abundant fishing, eclectic upscale shops, a myriad of art and cultural opportunities, as well as easy access to Boston or points north. Each residence has a commanding birds-eye panorama of either seaside vistas of Massachusetts Bay or cityscape views of nationally registered historic architecture.

It’s the lifestyle of concierge living that is so inviting. Boaters can literally walk a few yards to their private slip and be cruising to destinations near and far. For the young and aspiring, it is a fantastic launching for a lifestyle that has it all, a vibrant city nightlife, a small town ambiance, and easy commute by auto or a short walk to the Boston/Rockport train line. Seaside concierge living at The Salem Waterfront Condominiums affords easy access to private pleasure boats, chartered touring and fishing vessels, and championship racing with Salem, Marblehead, or Beverly sailing fleets. For the ‘downsizer ‘ or retiree, less is more with no household maintenance, elegant interiors, and the services and ease of lifestyle unheard of at strictly residential properties. The concierge lifestyle accommodates travelers, "snowbirds’, and yachters who desire a home base that meets their desires of security and privacy, and maybe close family proximity, on the North Shore. For all residents, a 24-hour secure entry, private parking, and private elevator provide all the conveniences of home, yet with an abundance of concierge services, a health club, spa, restaurant and pub all conveniently located in one beautifully designed structure.

"Salem is a vibrant cultural, historic, commercial, residential and waterfront community. We are very proud to offer our vision of concierge living at The Salem Waterfront Condominiums and contribute to the future growth of this great city. To call Pickering Wharf home, means that shopping, dining, and all kinds of recreational and cultural activities are close by with one-stop luxury living. Nowhere else on North Shore can distinctive property owners enjoy so many amenities and ease of lifestyle " commented J.Hilary Rockett, Jr. Vice President of Rockett Realty and co-owner of The Salem Waterfront Condominiums.

The advantages of concierge living range from having your complimentary daily USA Today delivered to your front door to investing in rising residential property value. One-stop living provides Salem Waterfront Condominiums residents with all available hotel concierge services including laundry services, exercise facility, heated indoor pool, marine privileges, and the first floor "Regatta Pub"

Private elevators in a private and secure lobby bring residents to their beautiful and spacious 1400 to 1700 square foot residences. These luxury homes are designed with polished hardwood floors throughout and accented with marble or tile floors in the baths. The fireplaced 625 square feet living/dining areas have wall-sized French doors that lead to a Juliet balcony overlooking breath-taking seaside or city-side views. The gorgeous kitchen is appointed in granite with premier appliances. The two-bedrooms and two full baths are designed with five-foot double-sinks and whirlpool baths that invite relaxing in luxury. Each residence is thoroughly sound insulated. High- speed wired and wireless Internet connections are standard. Concierge living starts at 0,000 for eight luxury residences on each floor. Renowned architects are Stephen Livermore of Salem and Robert Zarelli of Marblehead. Award-winning interior designers are CDI Design and Design Waves, both of Marblehead.

The Salem Waterfront Condominiums are conceived, built, managed, and offered by the Rockett brothers, J. Hilary Jr. of Rockett Realty, Michael of Village Construction, and Richard of Rockett Management. For more information, please call Rockett Realty at 781-631-3070, www.bwsalem.com

Apple’s iPhone could stir the world even before its launch by virtue of publicity and as it reached peoples’ palms it could surprise them with its fully tactile interface and chic look. People really enjoyed the gadget’s fresh features particularly those offering a silky route to the web. Later iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G brought in more fascinating features making the posh gadget tone in more with its price and fame. Even with all its novelties people could not really relish the entire technological liberty that iPhone is capable to provide – AT&T’s monopoly as its only carrier and Apple’s domineering attitude over the range of applications (even after facilitating SDK) have kept iPhone away from being an unfettered hub of barrage of applications.

Unlocking iPhone is the way to resolve all the bars. The iPhone unlocking softwares are there to unlock iPhones in minutes and you are then free from the exclusivity of AT&T…… you can choose to use any operator using the GSM network technology. And what's more, tons of applications – music, movies, games, e-books, contents and other softwares – are at your service. The iPhone unlocking solutions can unlock the latest iPhones and the state-of-the–art softwares can unlock iPhone 3G as well.

· Make sure that the solution that you wish to buy is not a one-time service. If you can not update the software with the change of the firmware versions your purchase will not be much cost-effective. So, make sure you will be able to update it.

There are 25,000 granite slabs on the curved walls which, placed end to end, would stretch 46 kilometres. The building required 300,000 cubic metres of concrete, enough to build 25 Sydney Opera Houses and has a design life of at least 200 years. The building has 4,700 rooms and has 2,416 clocks that are used for voting. On a non-sitting day there could be 2,000 to 3,000 people working there.

The flag flown from the 81-metre flagpole is 12.8m by 6.4m, about the size of half a tennis court. The flagpole weighs 220 tonnes and is made of polished stainless steel from Newcastle, New South Wales. It was designed to be the pinnacle of Parliament House and is an easily recognizable symbol of national government. It is visible by day from outside and inside Parliament House and floodlit at night. The flag itself weighs approximately 15 kg.

Although security has been greatly tightened in recent years, much of the building is open to the public.

Details like business profile, nature of business, length of ownership, and current income are also important in the approval of business property loans. If the entrepreneur is planning to start up a new venture, he must discuss the business plan with the lender and how will it help him repay the loan.

Numerous lenders offering business property loans exist in the market. Approaching local banks and financial institutions is quite a messy affair. They demand lot of time and efforts. Plenty of documentation work is also there.
