Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Sacombank) promotes the special "Golden term - Golden opportunity" program nationwide from 12 March 2009 to 09 June 2009. The program applies for individual customers who have savings with durations of 6, 9 and 12 months onwards, and withdraw the interest only upon on maturity. Total value of the program is more than VND 2 billion. Accordingly, the customers will achieve bonus interest ranging from 0.06% per annum to 0.36% per annum on top of current interest. With each term of the following: VND 50 million savings (6 months) or VND 30 million savings (9 months), or VND 10 million savings (from 12 months) will receive a lucky draw number
Kim Eng Vietnam Securities has rated Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (STB), or Sacombank, one of its top picks for a buy. Sacombank announced a net profit of VND255 billion (US$14.6 million) for the fourth quarter of last year, a 45.6 percent increase from the previous quarter. The HCMC-based bank, partly owned by ANZ and the only lender listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, made a fat profit from gold and foreign currency trading in 2008. Forex and the yellow metal contributed a tidy VND252 billion to the bottom line, up 159 percent on the previous year.
Ending the last session of this week, the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (STC)'s index today Friday March 6 slipped slightly together with the downturn of the global stock market.
Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Sacombank) has stepped deeper into the gold business field as opening a high-class jewellery shop.

Cheap does not really come into it!
The OpsGear body kit is good, but bear in mind this will weigh a ton.
We have tended to use it embedded on a hilltop in an ideal sniper position overlooking a village to suppress the tower central in the village. Picking it up and moving is not ideal!
With a little modding OpsGear kits can be fitted to other markers as well. We have tweaked a few OpsGear bodies onto PCS US5s and one of our guys is currently building an SA80 tactical variant ontop of a Spyder clone with parts from one of the bodykits.
Inside all of that is this:

It's amazing what a couple of simple tweaks can do. In his video for rapper/producer Big K.R.I.T.'s single "I Got This," director Todd A builds on the swollen '70s-soul undercurrents in K.R.I.T.'s music by taking standard rap-video shots — K.R.I.T. driving around his hometown and reveling among his supporters — and shooting them like a blaxploitation opening-credits montage, complete with fake film-crackles. It's a fun gimmick, and the video also captures K.R.I.T.'s irrepressible bouncy energy. If videos still made stars, I'd call this a starmaking video. Watch the video and download the song below.

Submittal Sheet
Install Instructions
Series 288A represents a complete line of vacuum breakers
designed to prevent backsiphonage of contaminated water into
a potable water supply.
They feature a lightweight, durable "disc float" suitable for temperatures up to 180°F (82°C) which closes the atmospheric
vent to prevent spilling under all rates of flow. Therefore, they
are ideally recommended for low flow installations such as laboratory equipment which use such a small amount of water.
They also contain a durable silicone disc which has high heat
and water hammer shock resistance and assures tight seating
with the lightest of seating contact.
Full Size Orifice - Series 288A has a full-size orifice to assure
pipe size capacity. Water passages are streamlined to provide
high water flow with minimal pressure loss.

Watts Anti Siphon Valve
By yudamann
from Outer Banks of NC
I ordered this and received it promptly as promised. It is a sturdy replacement for the flimsy plastic original one that I had, and it can be disassembled for cleaning if needed. It performs just fine. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because it is new and extended performance/reliability is unknown. But it is made by Watts, a very reputable firm for which I am a long-time user of their products. I am confident that this valve will last indefinitely.

By StillSilly

I use these in industrial applications and they perform very well. The best!

Will You Need a Durable Power of Attorney for Your Aging Parents?
Being at the head of the Baby Boomer line, I'm facing issues that no one prepared me for. I am now telling all of my friends to have a Durable Power of Attorney (POA) not only for their aging parents, but for themselves as well. My parents' health and ability to live in their longtime home changed very quickly. My dad listened to me and was willing to meet with an attorneyand review the necessary papers.
My mother's health suddenly became an issue and generated financial concerns about her care if my father were to die. His income was enough to cover their needs unless he were to precede my mother in death. The attorney encouraged us to sign a Durable Power of Attorney, which would give me the ability to make important decisions concerning health, living arrangements and finances if both of my parents became incapacitated. My mother was wheelchair- bound and because of a stroke, she was not able to make decisions as logically as she had always done. When she died, five years later, my father was still very much able to make his own life decisions.
But that was to last for just over one year.
What Happens When the Surviving Parent Becomes Incapacitated?
A year after my mother's death, my father had his 2nd stroke, which put us in the position of facing end-of-life care. The Durable Power of Attorney (POA) that we had signed five years earlier suddenly became VERY important. Without the POA, I would have been at the mercy of those who did not know my father and I would have had no legal rights. There are many issues to deal with when a parent can no longer manage on their own:
- Housing
- Bills and Credit Cards
- Assets
- Medical Decisions
- End-of-Life Care
- Pets
All of the emotional decisions were made. Acting on those decisions was FAR easier because I had a Durable Power of Attorney. Remember that you're still maintaining your own life and will probably be facing great emotional stress as your parents age. Don't wait. Educate yourself. Make an appointment with an attorney and have the papers signed. Today.

durable power of attorney is the most used legal form right now in the united states, the biggest mistake people make is authorizing the general form and not the coveted durable.

Don't Stray from This: PETA Needs to Get Involved in the Olympics
We discussed the kind of breed Vladimir Putin is yesterday. He is more than just the Major Domo of Russia. The guy is a veritable badass who walks outside more times with his shirt off than Miley Cyrus jonesin' for the paparazzi.
One does not mess with the Prime Minister, but this latest news may force the zero-to-bat-ess-crazy-pimp-slap-action-hand of PETA:
A pest control company which has been killing stray dogs in Sochi for years told The Associated Press on Monday that it has a contract to exterminate more of the animals throughout the Olympics.
Yeah, I thought that would get some attention. More puppy-non-love after the jump…

All those phones look the same

I love HTC and everything but they are really slipping with the upgrade stuff. For example the Mytouch Slide came out in June and it's still on 2.1. Not just that but the Mytouch 3g and the Mytouch 3g 3.5mm and Fender LE are THE SAME PHONES. The only difference between the original Mytouch and the 3.5 and Fender LE is the 3.5mm and FE have more ram and the 3.5headphone jack. Yet the 2.2 update came out for the original Mytouch in October or 2010 and finally the 3.5 and Fender LE are getting it? Wtf HTC. You guys really need to step it up.

The Seattle Mariners reduced their roster by two today, releasing veteran pitcher Jon Garland and infielder Mike Jacobs.
The @mariners released RHP Jon Garland and IF Mike Jacobs today.
— Alanna Rizzo (@alannarizzo) March 23, 2013
Garland, who signed a minor league deal with Seattle this off season after missing last year as he recovered from surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff, looked good over the course of the spring, but not enough to make the big club. In four Cactus League starts, Garland tossed 12 innings, allowing three earned runs, while striking out four.
The Mariners rotation now consists of Felix Hernandez, Joe Saunders, Hisashi Iwakuma, Erasmo Ramirez, and Blake Beavan.
Jacobs, a seven year veteran, hit just .286/.310/.536 in 17 spring games this year. He last appeared in the majors for the D'Backs in 2012, playing in just 13 games.

or not think of as was the case with this crate of naked Barbies -- but it made me smile!
Even 'Petite Fille' who normally naps through the adventure was wide awake and smiley! It's hard to describe how light hearted the morning was... maybe it was the ease of bargaining or the cheerful conversation.. or maybe it was the moment when the guitar vendor with this 'hippie' van set up with dozens of instruments for sale, spontaneously broke into 'Horse with No Name' on his guitar upon over-hearing that I was American! Smiles everywhere--let me tell ya!
Could it have been that it was the day before Easter and that the creek that ran along the pathway of the sale was full of ducks with babies!?
Sooooo adorable! So Printemp!

Integrated reporting: telling your corporate value creation story
Integrated reporting in the Netherlands
What is the state of integrated reporting in the Netherlands? In our annual research on the status of integrated reporting, you find an assessment and comparison between reports of Dutch listed companies. Our research shows that the concept of integrated reporting is increasingly on the rise and embraced more and more by Dutch companies, although there is no legal obligation to prepare an integrated report in the Netherlands.

Involvement, but no significant progress
With a number of frontrunners experimenting with the newly introduced concepts of integrated reporting, as well as a relatively large number of Dutch companies joining the pilot programme of the IIRC, one could say the Netherlands is playing its role in the development towards integrated reporting. Contrary to this observation, we noticed that no significant progress was made in terms of integrated reporting by Dutch listed firms. A conclusion based on our research of the 2012 corporate communications of Dutch listed companies. Deloitte has taken the opportunity to see were these communications stand compared to the recently published <IR> Framework.
Connectivity remains a challenge
It was no surprise that our research shows that many companies still struggle with connectivity. According to Paul Druckman, CEO of the IIRC, there might be two different issues: a problem with communicating connectivity on the one hand and a lack of connectivity within the business on the other hand. "If it is simply a matter of communication, then expert advice can help out. But if there is a lack of connectivity within the business, there could be a serious problem with creating value in the future."
In our report we have included interviews with representatives of companies involved in sustainability or integrated reports. They share with us their learnings, challenges and sometimes dilemmas in their journey towards integrated reporting.
Case: Eneco
Dirk Stefels, Eneco's Manager Sustainability Reporting & Control, shares Eneco's story on how they improved the connectivity in the 2012 Integrated Report. Eneco has completely changed the look and feel of the report. Neither paper nor PDF, it is digital, and accessible through a web page. Another important improvement was structuring the information around the six pillars of their strategic framework. These six pillars now serve as foundation for Eneco's integrated report, with each of the KPIs assigned to a particular pillar.

8x8 Enhances Virtual Office Business Phone Service With New Native Desktop Application
8x8, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGHT), provider of innovative cloud-based communication and computing solutions, today introduced a new Virtual Office Desktop softphone application for its award-winning Virtual Office business VoIP and Virtual Office Pro unified communications solutions.
Virtual Office Desktop provides all of the same functionality of the Virtual Office Online browser application in a more robust native Windows and Mac application. Integrating a business softphone with one-on-one video calling, web and video conferencing along with visual voicemail, 8x8's update to Virtual Office Desktop also includes enterprise grade IM (instant messaging) and presence along with fax, and social media feeds, all found in one easy to use application.
Benefits of Virtual Office Desktop include:
- Better call and message notification: For web applications, users need to launch a browser and navigate to a web page that can get hidden behind other browser tabs, making it easy to miss calls and chats. As a native Windows and Mac app, Virtual Office Desktop automatically launches when the computer starts. The app shows system alerts or screen pops in the foreground when incoming calls, IMs and faxes are received. Calls can ring both a headset and the computer speakers in case the user has temporarily put down his or her headset.
- Simplified user interface and compact design: Saves screen space while providing q uick access to a personal and corporate directory, soft phone, online meetings and faxes. The History tab provides an easily searchable archive of call logs, chats, meeting info, recordings and social media feeds.
- Improved call quality: Echo cancellation and native support for advanced speech codecs improve audio quality on Windows, even with low bandwidth connections.
"8x8 strives to provide the best communications tools across all connected devices," said 8x8 Senior Product Manager Phillip Liu. "While customers appreciate the convenience of quickly accessing 8x8's unified communications app through any web browser, our most dedicated users wanted the absolute best call quality and user experience which can only be delivered through a native Windows or Mac application. I'm proud of the work our engineers and designers did to integrate so much capability in an easy-to-use app that's designed for continuous use throughout the workday."

- So Much More
Echo of a Kiss - Diamond Sapphire Ring
Take advantage of what Louis XV knew would please a woman…diamonds and flattery in any order. This platinum ring makes a grand entrance with its dramatic presence at a modest price point. A total estimated diamond weight of .77 carats brightens the day and evening with nine (9) old European and ten (10) single cut diamonds ensconced in the luxury of platinum.
A centered old European cut diamond of .25 carats is embraced by twelve (12) shaped synthetic sapphires channel set in that famous marquise format. East and west of the contrasting gems an additional old European cut diamond of .10 carats each flanks the main diamond. The three (3) old European cut largest diamonds have a color range of G-I and VS2-SI1 clarity. Dotted around the matrix sixteen (16) accent diamonds, a mix of old European and single cuts add shimmer to shine and glitter. Please note the lovely pierced platinum work of the under gallery of the engraved mounting.
Date: Circa 1925.
Measurements: 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) in length north to south on the hand and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.8 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 3.9 grams (2.5 dwt).
Ring Size: US 4-1/2 (UK I; Euro or Int. Circum. 48.0 mm; Int. Dia. 15.3 mm; Japan 8) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent; light wear to the sapphires visible with magnification.
Note: All gemstone weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual if removed. Grading may also vary. All metals are acid tested.
Historical Notes: Jeanne Antoinette Poisson aka Madame de Pompadour aka Marquise de Pompadour was introduced at the court of Louis XV and soon became his official mistress. Regarded as both beautiful and intelligent, Louis was so enamored with her that he commissioned a diamond to be created especially for her. Rumor had it that the gem with its elongated shape and pointed ends echoed her lips when pursed in a smile. Henceforth the navette cut configuration was known as the "marquise".

For the past week, I've been chewed up and spit out by both the media, and especially fans of the Buffalo Bills. As agonizing as it is to confess— much, far too much of it is well deserved.
I published a report late last week, citing a source that Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman was detained at the border by United States Customs and busted with having steroids in his possession.
My report, and specifically my choice of words — was inaccurate.
For that alone, I must man up with some apologies, and it begins with Merriman personally. While I did initially report Merriman was never charged and arrested for the incident, that's not good enough.
He was not caught with steroids on him, yet that's what I wrote. The article was atrociously worded. Upon reflection, it ranged from amateurish to flat-out irresponsible.
However, before going any further if for no other reason than my sanity—– what I published was NOT completely untrue. Though my erroneous coining of the word "steroids" is emphatically wrong, this was more than just the "routine" border incident most of us have experienced ourselves.
I know there's a large smattering of people waiting to see what I'm going to write next. Will I provide new information, a much better effort than the initial story, as to what fully went down at the border in order to save my own backside.
It's not happening, folks.
For the past week, I've wrestled daily, almost hourly over further exploiting what actually happened. At the end of the day, however, does it really matter? Merriman wasn't arrested and re-hashing things now would be beneficial to absolutely no one. Not Merriman, not the organization, not my (shot) credibility…. no one.
Here's the bottom line and after taking a long look in the mirror, I'm not ashamed to admit this— I'm not an investigative reporter and had no right to imitate one. Truthfully, I've never broke this kind of story before, as anyone who read can easily attest. Although I did speak to multiple people regarding the incident, I failed to use it in my report, mainly out of fear that I'd give a source clue away.
As a critic correctly identified, it was the classic case of "Hack Journalism."
I learned through this. I learned that I don't have the conscious to potentially bring someone down who doesn't wholeheartedly deserve it. I don't have the stomach nor conscious to deal with what comes after you break something of this nature and frankly, don't have the necessary talent to articulate an investigative article the way it needs to be properly written.
I promise in the future this type of reporting will be left to the real pros who do ground-breaking, investigative work for a living. It won't come from me, that's for sure.
Over the past two years at Buffalo Sports Daily, I've accumulated a growing number of supporters and naturally what comes with it… more than my fair share of critics.
But love or hate anything I've produced, to a man anyone would say this isn't the type of story I indulge in.
I first learned of the incident three weeks before reporting it. Honestly, I went back and forth at least once per day on if I should publish a story. I weighed the pros and cons and always concluded it was something to stay away from. Truth be told, last Thursday I got a tip that another site was in the process of running the story after learning of similar details.
Regrettably, I rushed to judgment, decided that since I knew about the incident before anyone else and discussed it with trusted media colleagues weeks ago,no one was going to take "my" story away from me.
So I hit the "post" button on a story that was cued up for almost three weeks.
Along the way, I forgot the primary rule of being a good writer, which is "It's always better to be right than first."
When I say I rushed to judgment, I mean I really did. I knew without question Merriman was going to deny the allegations, because I knew there was no arrest. I was certain no one from Customs would comment on the record to acknowledge such an incident without an arrest. They couldn't if they wanted to– not without losing their job anyway.
And with no proof, I recognized a strong majority of fans and media would react with haste towards me.
Trust me— you didn't disappoint.
As I stated earlier, I don't have the stomach to potentially ruin someone's life whether they're guilty or not and therefore, had no business being in that line of reporting.
To prove at this point my story was accurate other than the using the word "steroids", I'd essentially have to compromise and potentially even "out" my sources. If there's one journalistic item I'll continue to do right by it's that I'll never under any circumstance turn on a source.
The story was written poorly and irresponsibly by me, therefore I refuse to bring anyone else down or cause grief to cover my tracks and prove myself (mostly) right.
Though there's sure to be plenty of naysayers, I've built up a nice little following over the past few years. Let this serve as a lesson to any young aspiring writer/blogger out there— It takes a long time to build support, and just one stupid mistake to lose it.
From this point forward, I'm going back to what I take pleasure in exclusively. I love covering and blogging about sports… not being a tabloid style life-changer. I enjoy breaking down games and players, doing interviews, expressing opinions and reporting on actual sports news— such as signings, trades and team beats.
For the most part sans this idiotic blunder of epic proportions, most say I've done a decent job at it.
I understand I've had skeptics before this who've never enjoyed a thing I've produced. There's now more, perhaps plenty that will never move past this erroneous mistake I put squarely on myself.
That's just the way it goes.
Regardless of anything else, I'm sorry to Merriman for causing him unnecessary grief, forcing major media outlets to investigate him further and causing anyone to question his character due to an inaccurate report. He's worked hard to get ready for this season and deserves the unwavering support of all Bills fans.
For what it's worth, I also apologize to the Buffalo fans. There's already plenty of negativity flowing with Bills nationwide and my article, accurate or not, only piled on to the pessimism. As someone who's actually been a long-time fan of the Bills, I know how frustrating it can be when the rest of the nation dumps on your team, much less than when it comes from your own backyard.
Even if Merriman did get busted with actual steroids at the border, to the extent needles were sticking from his arms and neck veins as he was being pulled over— and had an "I love steroids" bumper sticker, I regret reporting it and if I had to do it over again— would not.
Seriously, I'm more disturbed at myself for publishing the report than it not being completely accurate. The best investigative reporters in the business put the story as their priority and whoever goes down with it, goes down.
Within minutes of publishing, I felt awful about the possibility of changing someone's life for the worse, whether he deserved it or not. I'm not comfortable being the judge, jury and executioner and by putting out what I did, that's what I instantly became.
Lastly and most importantly to me, I want to apologize to media members and some Bills players themselves that I know were let down. Trust me, they definitely know who they are.
Many understandably are disappointed at how poorly I presented my report to the reading public, and surely lost some respect along the way.
Hopefully over time, I'll earn some of that respect back.
Regardless, I'm moving on from this for good— starting right now.

Title: Cross Sectional Return Predictability in Taiwan Stock Exchange: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Nusret Cakici, Kudret Topyan, Chia-Jane Wang
Department: Economics & Finance
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of certain return predictors in Taiwan stock market. Within this context, the paper provides a comprehensive analysis on the stock return predictability in Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) from January 1990 to December 2011 by employing both portfolio method and cross-sectional regressions. In the riskrelated predictors, we found no statistically significant predictive power of beta, total volatility, and idiosyncratic volatility. Our results indicate that two cheapness variables, book-to-market and cashflow-to-price ratios showed strong consistent economically and statistically significant predictive powers in determining the returns for the stocks traded in the TWSE. In addition, our multiple regressions found predictive power in total volatility, short-term reversal, and market capitalization in the set of smallstocks but not for the set of large stocks, while our allstock set showed predictive power only in total volatility and short-term reversal. We also found that regrouping the stocks as small and large according to the median value of the market capitalization of the stocks adds insights to the analysis. Our results show that the set of large stocks in the TWSE is the least predictable set of stocks.

Title: Focus or Generalize: Real Estate Agent Effort Allocation and Compensation
Authors: Randy I. Anderson, Hany Guirguis, Geoffrey K. Turnbull
Department: Economics & Finance
Abstract: When agents have opportunities in both selling and non-selling related activities, the rising opportunity cost of time induces greater focus on the former, with contracted support to pursue unrelated real estate activities. This drives a positive relationship between specialization and income. Nonetheless, income may decline empirically with greater specialization when the population of most specialized agents includes those with either low opportunity costs or the least ability to earn ancillary income. Data drawn from a multi-year survey of real estate professionals indicate that income rises with greater specialization except for the most specialized. The latter result is consistent with the notion that mix of agents at the highest specialization levels enjoy different opportunity costs or ranges of income opportunities.

Title: Characteristics of Firms Subject to Fraud Litigation
Authors: Alicja Reuben
Department: Management and Marketing
Abstract: Fraud is a fundamental issue that has been problematic for decades in the U.S. business sphere. The academic literature addresses fraud in terms of deviance, but fails to raise the question of whether corporate governance is tied to fraud in any way. In this paper, I attempt to disentangle the question, does corporate governance help firms subject to fraud litigation? Using the Governance Index and a unique set of class action law suit data, I use survival analysis to determine the correlation between fraud and corporate governance. Results indicate that bad governance is associated with cases of fraud. These findings have far reaching implications on both the establishment of governance standards as well as the study of fraudulent business activities.
FRWP #4, Fall 2013
Title: The People's Hired Guns? Experimentally Testing the Inclination of Prosecutors to Abuse the Vague Definition of Crimes
Authors: Christoph Engel and Alicja Reuben
Department: Management and Marketing
Abstract: Legal realists expect prosecutors to be selfish. If they get the defendant convicted, this helps them advance their careers. If the odds of winning on the main charge are low, prosecutors have a second option. They can exploit the ambiguity of legal doctrine and charge the defendant for vaguely defined crimes, like "conspiracy". We model the situation as a signalling game and test it experimentally. If we have participants play the naked game, at least a minority plays the game theoretic equilibrium and use the vague rule if a signal indicates that the defendant is guilty. This becomes even slightly more frequent if a misbehaving defendant imposes harm on a third participant. By contrast if we frame the situation as a court case, almost all prosecutors take the signal at face value and knowingly run the risk of loosing in court if the signal was false. Our experimental prosecutors behave like textbook legal idealists, and follow the urge of duty.

Jazzed in Sonoma
Posted By Sun News On May 26, 2011 @ 8:57 am In Sonoma Scene | Comments Disabled
The weather was perfect, the crowds were strong and the music was superlative. Powered by headliners Sheryl Crow, John Fogerty and The Gipsey Kings, last weekend's Sonoma Jazz Plus music festival earned an A+ . While the performances reverb into fond memory, monies generated by the festival — through hotel rooms, restaurants, increased business overall – will hopefully work through the local economy to benefit the entire community. Additionally, the festival donates directly to school music programs. All in all, a hard act to follow.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Are you looking for a quiet getaway on the beach? You will agree that our Villa de Brisas Marinas - Sea Breeze Villa - is just the place. We discovered the charming fishing village of Telchac Puerto and would like to share our beautiful home there with you.
The villa is set steps from the Gulf of Mexico with beach weather all year round. As you enter the front gate through the covered patio with its lovely mosaic floor, to the gate to the beach, you will be on your way to paradise. Sit under our beachfront palapa and enjoy the blue water and white sand and no crowds!
You will enjoy the open floor plan designed and tastefully appointed by local architect, Gabriela Cornelio. From Mexican tile floors, the 5 sliding glass doors to the exquisite tile accents in the kitchen and baths, you are surrounded by the beauty of the sea and the charm of local décor. The living/dining area is spacious and opens with two sets of sliding glass doors to a covered patio overlooking our private beach. We provide all that you need from linens to a well-equipped kitchen. We placed a gas cooktop in the counter, so that if you choose, you may prepare a meal while enjoying the ocean view and the company of your friends and family. It also has a split-system air conditioner.
We have three bedrooms, all with ceiling fans, and three full bathrooms. There are two bedrooms with queen size beds; one room has a balcony. These bedrooms share a bath. The expansive master bedroom with king bed, ensuite bath and large walk-in closet overlooks the master balcony. The balcony has a breathtaking view of the beach and Gulf of Mexico. Each of the bedrooms has its own, split-system air conditioner. The third full bath is on the first floor.
Activities and Attractions:
The village of Telchac Puerto is about 2-3 km from the villa. You can walk to the center plaza along the beach, or walk or drive the main road into town. There are small markets with fruits and veggies, a bakery, liquor stores, a hardware store, restaurants and other small markets.
We hope you spend your time relaxing, swimming, strolling the beach, enjoying the birds and shell collecting. The beaches are wide and inviting and the water is warm and safe. The Mayan culture is everywhere from X-Cambo ( a 10 minute drive) or Dzibichaltun (30 minutes) to Chichen Itza ( about 1½ hours) and many others. You can also explore the many villages that are nearby. You may choose to spend a day in the lovely city of Merida (45 minutes), especially the historic center on Sundays when local artisans display in the main square. Merida, the capital city of the Yucatan (Pop. 1 million), offers beautiful colonial architecture, parks, museums, restaurants and shopping, and if you must, Wal Mart, Costco, JC Penney, Sears, fast food, etc. The port city of Progreso (25 minutes) is where the cruise ships dock, with a mile-long pier. Along the Gulf in Progreso, you may walk the Malecon and enjoy a variety of shops and restaurants.
Our property manager, who is fluent in English and Spanish, may arrange fishing trips or lazy rides through the nearby lagoons to visit the cenotes (underground springs) where you can view flamingos and many other birds and wildlife. She can also arrange to have someone cook for you and do daily cleaning, if you prefer. These services are not part of the rental fee. We also have a caretaker nearby.

Henry and Nancy Casten, have always wanted to own affordable, oceanfront property in a safe and interesting area, and have found such a place in Telchac Puerto and the Yucatan. Nancy is a nutritionist in a children's food program and Henry is a search consultant who places scientists and engineers.
The Owner purchased this villa in 2007
Quiet, beautiful, inexpensive area. Beautiful, beaches, Mayan culture, Yucatecan food, lovely Mexican villages and people nearby. It is not a tourist area, yet there is much to do all around you if you are adventurous. If not, the villa is a great place to hang out and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Sitting on my own beach with warm breezes and gentle surf. Watching the pelicans fish and the cormorants drift on the afternoon breezes above. Weather is warm and dry most of the time. The villa is great for gathering many people but also for escaping to your own area as it is spacious and built for privacy, as well.

I phoned myself up, but didnt get a good response, always engaged.
SpuffMonkey (10th June 2013)
Probably because everyone else is complaining about the silly little things too rather than getting clarification.
I have emailed the council, will see what they say about. They will prob pass me to the highways agency.
Maybe the guy is concerned it will set a precedent if someone sees a car parked on the line, not knowing said car is blocking their own drive?
Greenbeast (11th July 2013), Netman (10th June 2013)
We had the PITA neighbour phone the police/council as people were parking on the pavement in a cul de sac and he was disabled (lie). At first everyone was told to park on the road, then once it became clear that this caused more problems the police told everyone it was fine to park on the pavement.
Where? Outside your house maybe? We live in a country where the roads and parking are not fit for purpose. You can either get all pissy about it or you can just accept we've all got to get along by a bit of give and take.If you cant park your car on the road outside your house as theres not enough room, then park it elsewhere.

it maybe fair to say some houses will have multiple cars but i dont see that as any different from a house with too few bedrooms move or do something about it. My road is becoming a pain on sunday i doubt i would of been able to get my car out as nextdoor (drives all join its just one lump of tarmac) parked on the road behind their oyher car and at a 30 degree angle and someone had abandoned theit ka in the middle of the road parked in the direction of travel. Now granted its a dead end but to get out i would of needed to get a lot of lock on the second i got out the garage and as it was nose in that wouldnt happen. People just seem to think thats as slose as i can get to my house and abandon their car there and not give a hoot about anyone else
My place in London has 1 parking bay with it that cost £25K extra to have as there is about 500 bays on the development for something like 5,000 homes once its completed so win some loose some.

Predictors of skin self-examination before and after a melanoma diagnosis: the role of medical advice and patient's level of education

International Archives of Medicine 2013, 6:8 doi:10.1186/1755-7682-6-8Published: 27 February 2013
Cutaneous melanoma is the fastest growing tumor of the skin and the median life span of patients with advanced disease is less than a year. Melanoma-related mortality can be reduced through early detection via clinical skin exams and patient self-examination. Despite the potential to reducing the medical burden associated with clinical skin exams, systematic and regular skin self-examinations (SSE) are rarely performed. The current study examined psychosocial predictors of SSE and changes in SSE behavior from pre- to post-diagnosis in order to guide future melanoma prevention initiatives.
A consecutive sample of 47 melanoma survivors was drawn from a tertiary care clinic. Most melanomas had been detected by patients, spouses and other laypersons. Higher education was related to more frequent SSE at pre-diagnosis, more thorough SSE at post-diagnosis, and more frequent reports of having been advised to perform SSE at post-diagnosis. SSE behaviors increased significantly from pre- to post-diagnosis.
These findings suggest that different patient subgroups display varied knowledge base, readiness for change, and receptiveness for medical advice. Thus, interventions seeking to enhance skin self-exam practice may be most effective when the individual's psychosocial characteristics are taken into account.
