text: 379 FXUS64 KMAF 251735 AFDMAF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 1235 PM CDT Wed Mar 25 2015 .DISCUSSION... && .AVIATION... West wind has begun to pick up as the wind aloft mixes down. CNM has highest wind so far but this should spread east to other TAF sites. Wind should decrease late afternoon/early evening before a strong cold front blows into the area tonight with a very gusty north wind... gusts to 30kts or more possible as is blowing dust. && PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 422 AM CDT Wed Mar 25 2015/ DISCUSSION... Current satellite shows an upper level trough over northern Wyoming. This trough will move into the Central Plains today increasing westerly winds and pushing drier air across most of the area. This dry air and clear skies will send highs today well above normal reaching the mid 80s for many locations. The upper trough will move east tonight sending a cold front south arriving in the Permian Basin around sunset. Winds behind the front will shift from the northeast and become very windy for a short period before quickly diminishing early Thursday morning. Sustained wind speeds may exceed 30 mph briefly tonight but the duration is not expected to be long enough to warrant the issuance of an advisory at this time. Winds at Guadalupe Pass will become strong and the High Wind Watch has been upgraded to a warning. Thursday will be around 20 degrees cooler and a very pleasant day as winds continue to diminish. An upper level ridge over the western U.S. will move east over the weekend and dampen, bringing a return of westerly mid and upper level flow. This will cause temperatures to warm back up above normal with Saturday and Sunday providing good BBQ weather. Models continue to show an upper level low approaching Texas and New Mexico early next week. The GFS and ECMWF continue to handle the location of this feature differently though the ECMWF seems to be trending more towards the GFS solution of a southerly track across southern California and along the U.S./Mexico border. The Canadian GEM also agrees with this southerly track. The main difference between these models is the strength of the low. The GFS is strongest and thus shows better rain chances than the other models. Will continue the slight chance PoPs during this time period and will wait for better agreement before making any significant PoP changes. Hennig FIRE WEATHER... Winds will increase from the west today as a surface low deepens just NE of the CWA. In addition, above normal temps and very dry conditions will result in afternoon minimum relative humidities near 10-15 percent most areas. With 20 foot winds approaching or exceeding critical thresholds across most locations, elevated to near critical fire weather concerns can be expected. Greatest concern will be across the Guadalupe Mountains, where low end Red Flag conditions will be possible for 3-4 hours at the most. Confidence is not high enough to go with a Red Flag Warning so will handle the Guadalupes as well as southeast NM and much of west TX with a Fire Danger Statement. Fire weather concerns will diminish this evening as relative humidities increase above critical values. && .MAF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NM...NONE. TX...HIGH WIND WARNING from 10 PM this evening to 9 AM MDT Thursday FOR THE FOLLOWING ZONES... Guadalupe Mountains. && $$ Follow us on Facebook and Twitter at: http://facebook.com/NWSMidland http://twitter.com/NWSMidland Check us out on the internet at: http://weather.gov/midland

Questlove is a celebrity master of social media. This wildly viral Instagram post he shared of Prince playing the Saturday Night Live Afterparty proves why.

The Attention Economy And How To Get Your Share Of It
Attention. Everyone wants it. No one has any to spare.
As social marketing takes over traditional advertising and publicity, consumers are ever more inundated with messages on all of their various devices around the clock.
How can you avoid being lost in the shuffle? Every case will be different, but these great, basic points are a good place to start. Head over to Percolate to read the rest.
Set your standards high and keep re-evaluating them.
When you're interesting, timely and visually compelling that's a lot closer to a recommendation than an interruption, and it delivers superior campaign ROI.
Write aspirational headlines, keep copy short, pique curiosity early and make sure your content is accompanied by a compelling, relevant image or video.
If your average typical customer checks their phone more than 100 times daily and you're on the home screen, that's 36,500+ organic icon impressions a year, completely effort free.
Three Tips For Creating Loyal Consumers
So you want loyal customers but you don't have time to become a social marketing expert. You are, after all, a creator. Here is a quick overview of three basic tips to help guide your efforts. Click through to TechCrunch to read in more detail.
1. Labour = Love
Human beings tend to love things created by them either partially or fully. Ask them to collaborate with you!
"The more effort we put into something, the more likely we are to value it."
2. Consistency counts
The basic idea is to start with a small ask, once people say yes, they are more likely to say yes again.
"We are more likely to be consistent with our past behaviours."
3. We avoid cognitive dissonance
We don't want to miss out on things others like, so we learn to like things we didn't think we could.
"We change our preferences to avoid cognitive dissonance."

Mobile Metrics: Twitter Alone vs Twitter + CoPromote
We can tell you how cross-promotion is the best way to reach new followers. We can talk about "the power of many" until the internet actually breaks. Or, we can let the data speak for itself.
Today, Twitter announced an update that lets you track engagements on their iOS app. The data's message couldn't be clearer: Dedicated sharing scales reach!
Now, when you boost a Tweet through CoPromote, you can easily compare the improvement between Tweeting on your own versus boosting through CoPromote's community of content creators dedicated to sharing.
Don't take our word for it. Boost a tweet and see for yourself.
Thanks, Twitter!

Share Tumblr Posts Using CoPromote? Here's How To Track & Compare Results
Good news, CoPromote members: all Tumblr posts shared through CoPromote are now treated as normal reblogs.
Why is this good news?
Sharing Tumblr posts natively means that all of the metrics will be attributed to and visible on your original Tumblr post. Previously, all posts shared through CoPromote were treated as unique, and the metrics were collected on your CoPromote dashboard. Verifying results meant checking each post individually.
Doesn't CoPromote already provide these metrics?
Yes, CoPromote's own metrics panel shows you exactly who is sharing your posts so you can engage them and build your network. This product update makes it easier to compare the results.
How can I see the results?
Next time you share a Tumblr post through CoPromote, check the reblog notes for CoPromote members who have supported your content.That's how sharing scales reach.
If you have Tumblr connected, login to boost a post now. If you don't have Tumblr connected, adding it to your CoPromote profile will connect you with similar creators and expand the reach of your own posts. [Plus, you add fresh content to the community, and that's a win/win for everyone!]
For more info on CoPromote's metrics and how to track your results on our blog/FAQ page. Follow CoPromote on Tumblr.

1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Laredo 4dr SUV
Bought Jeep 5 years ago with 161,154 miles. Now has 247,896. Still runs great and looks great. Very little maintenance. Second set of tires after 64,000 miles. I'll run it for another 100,000 probably

I bought my 95 zj in 2007 and I have never regretted it. I have had to replace the starter, water pump and alternator as well as front brakes and regular tune ups but that is to be expected. The inline six is amazing!! She is about to hit 200k and is still going strong. I live in Iowa so when winter comes other drivers cringe but I say bring it on. No matter what nature or myself throw at my jeep she takes it without missing a beat and keeps going. Including a deer and my tire coming off on the highway. I have never owned a better vehicle. I want to drive my jeep until the wheels fall off and then I will put them back on and keep going! I love my Jeep!

My parents bought it new in December 1994 and it just passed the 200k mark! It has been far more reliable than anything else we've ever owned. My mom drove it for nine years, then my dad for the next four years after that. They gave it to me over two years ago to use a second vehicle. Still runs and drives like a champ!

I've modified my rig a little removed the cat, bumper cover (clearance issue) k&n air, 20 mpg+. It has never left me stranded even after water pump goes distributor went for the last 6 mo. The fuel pump is on its last leg. But in -20 weather it still starts after some labored cranking it pops off every time and I only got it stuck once, 4 mile hike, chain, back on the road! Completely stock it has gone everywhere I've wanted it to go (except deep mud holes) without question, hesitation or procrastination. It is a machine women can handle also, but I'm so glad my wife hates it, more for me, for all I care me and my truck will take our business elsewhere. And that's why its the best auto 'ive ever owned.

We bought our Jeep Grand Cherokee, V6 2WD, when it had 70K miles and drove it to 205000 miles! We barely gave it regular maintenance and the only things we replaced were the AC blower(about $900) and part of the exhaust ($500). Overall very suburb reliability! We even got about 25mpg on the highway on road trips at about 75-80mph. Would definitely buy one again if I knew gas prices would not go back up!

We have enjoyed our Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. We bought it about 6 years ago with 98,000 miles and now have 170,000 miles with no major issue. It is starting to leak some oil, but hey it's almost 14 years old.

Loved my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Took comfortable long trips in it. Mileage really increased on the highway.

Bought mine private party back in 2002 with 99,600 miles on it. I just hit 136k. With the exception of things I consider basic maintenance (fluid changes, new tires, new shocks), I've had next to nothing go wrong with my Jeep. It's fun to drive in bad weather, and has yet to let me down. For a 10 year old Jeep, she does what is expected, gets me where I need to go no matter what the weather. As for fuel economy, it's an SUV that is 10+ years old, I accept that.

Despite Consumer Reports calling this
AN unreliable car, this is the BEST
vehicle I have ever owned, incl.
Porsche, BMW,Mercedes.
The only problems I had were a
waterpump that blew after a
dealer "powerflushed" the system (their
fault), and a noisy differential AFTER
the dealer replaced a $5 seal and
screwed up the repair. Otherwise, this
has been as reliable as a stone. W/
127,000 miles, I've had NO other
problems throughout the vehicle. Also,

Excellent. I was in Subway the other day and the lady behind the counter asked me about MHI (I mean, I was holding it in my hand. It wasn't a miracle or anything. Still cool, though.)
Well Done!

Why would a video game franchise put the current worst goalie in the league on its cover?
C'mon man, you are getting ridiculous with the hatred. The worst goalie? There's guys who have been worse, but that's not the point. Marty has been one of the elite goalies for a very long time, incredibly consistent and durable, right up to the '09-'10 season. His save% through that year actually IMPROVED after the lockout...you know, the lockout that was supposed to "expose" him. No, the last few years haven't been as good, and he's clearly not what he was...even the most ardent Brodeur supporters (like me) won't argue that, and though I know it's probably not going to happen, I really wouldn't mind seeing Brodeur retire after this season. For one, I don't think he has anything left to prove. For another, based on the last three years, I don't see how he's going to play much better than he is right now (even factoring in his overall good play in the SCF run last season), and his current level of play simply isn't good enough for a team that sadly looks like it's going to need elite play from that position to compete in the short term.
This is how it tends to go with the big names and the all-time greats...they have a hard time accepting that they're not what they were, but if you're going to blame Marty for that, you can blame Lou too...it was probably a bit of a "lifetime achievement" contract on Lou's part, giving Marty a two-year deal, but when you consider all Marty has done for the organization since his career took off, I don't know how you can grow to blast him with such hatred over and over. All you have to do is look at a team like the Flyers...look at all of the "Number 1" goalies they've had since Marty became the man for NJ. You had almost two decades where you knew who your starting goalie was going to be, and you knew that, just about every season, you were going to get good-to-great play from that position. He had some years that were better than others, but you never had to suffer through a bad Marty season when he was in his prime, and that prime lasted from 1993 to 2010, with almost no injuries to boot. There isn't a team in the NHL who wouldn't have KILLED to have had a guy like that, a guy who was so friggin' dependable and durable.
Yeah, sadly, it's starting to get a little ugly, but like I've said in other threads, part of what makes the greats what they are is what probably makes them stubborn towards the end of their careers. I'm guessing if you were able to ask Marty if he still thought he's got something left and can have a better season in '13-'14, he'd tell you yes, absolutely. His believing that will probably put Lou and the franchise in an awkward position next year, and if Marty starts slowly next year, the vultures are going to start circling, calling Marty selfish, delusional, washed-up, etc...that would be painful to watch, but just like when perenially good teams tend to crash hard and ugly, the same thing tends to happen with the all-time greats.
Instead of taking the "What have you done for me lately?" approach, take a step back and realize how lucky you were to have a guy like Marty play for your team for so long. A guy who gave you everything he had on the ice, and tried to do his best by the organization off it. No, he wasn't always perfect, but perfection doesn't exist. Very soon the Devils will be another team that could be living year-to-year with their goalies...maybe we'll get lucky and the Devils will find another long-term goalie they can count on for a while, but good luck finding a guy who's capable of appearing in 70+ games in 12 different seasons, helping his team win multiple Cups, and who was certain skillsets so strong and dominating that the NHL will feel the need to make rule changes to minimize those skills.
If you're not happy with Marty's current level of play, that's one thing, but to be so flat-out disrespectful and mean-spirited about it...I don't get that at all.

Bong Guerrero is back in Dubai
Filipino promoter's NYE party is his first event in seven years Discuss this article
Party people living in Dubai in the early noughties will remember Bong's legendary club nights – among them Poizon, ELV8, Fresh Nights and Wicked. After a sudden disappearance from the public scene, the extraverted 36-year-old Filipino promoter is back, hosting a NYE party that marks his first public event in seven years. We found out more.
His real name sounds like a Mexican heartthrob – Wilfredo Garcia Delfiero Guerrero.
'When I was a kid my parents called me Bong-Bong, I didn't respond to Wilfredo at all. It's probably one of my greatest assets and I thank my parents for it. From day one at school it gave me an advantage.'
He's a Dubai veteran of more than two decades, emigrating to the UAE in 1990.
'I came out of college in California and I had some very good friends from Dubai who invited me. I had no expectations: I just wanted to use those years to explore. Coming from San Francisco this was a village, but there was something really nice and interesting about it.'
He ran a Dubai fashion house from 1990 until 1998.
'We were the largest fashion house in the Middle East. It started by accident, like everything in my life, but it was significant to me. Yet as much as I enjoyed it, it really wasn't my kind of thing. In those days everything was very new in Dubai.'
In 2000 he moved into nightlife, where he is said to have pioneered a long list of Dubai firsts.
'I was the first one to adopt a guest list only policy. We were the first ones to throw a Friday night party when Saturday was still the first day of the working week. People said we were crazy to do that, and I said, "Those who can will come". I was the first person to send SMS blasts. I was the first to have a database of Dubai's big spenders and party beautiful, and I'm pretty sure it's been stolen.'
In 2005 he threw in the towel on nightlife, instead moving into the corporate world, where he hosts events for likes of Puma, Tiffany & Co, Fendi, Google and Mercedes.
'I was very nocturnal for five years, sleeping during the day and going out five nights a week. On a personal level I just wanted to change a few things, so I gave up smoking and took up yoga.'
But now Bong is preparing a comeback with his Lucky 13 NYE party at Giannino, and plans for a new quarterly night called Fiktion in 2013.
'Over the years a lot of our friends have asked, "When will you start throwing parties again?" It was always at the back of my mind. I feel there's a gap right now. Dubai's nightlife has evolved quite quickly, but we all still feel as though there's something missing. I've hung onto the Bong name – and I've decided 2013 is the time I'm going to let it back out.'
Interview: Rob Garratt. Bong Presents Lucky 13 on Monday December 31, 10pm-3am. Tickets Dhs850, with VIP options available. Giannino, Meydan Beach Club (050 102 4615).

I really enjoy assignments that require real effort, hard work. After learning for 3 years with the same teacher he still knows how to make me go a bit farther each time. It's a great feeling when I know I've accomplished an assignment in Khmer and I gave it my very best. I can tell and so can my teacher. Those days make us both happy.
Yet, there I was last night chatting with my roommate, answering phone calls, scrolling through Facebook and only absent mindedly putting together Khmer sentences about HPC. At the end of the night I already knew that today's lesson wasn't going to go over very well. Going into a lesson and feeling like I don't know exactly what I'm going to say and how I'm going to say it feels really vulnerable to me. Some days are harder than others when I'm trying to communicate in someone else's language and I know I haven't mastered it yet. I want to feel adequate, competent, like I'm on top of things and oh my goodness do I learn so much from this whole speaking a second language thing! Most times I probably just need a little perspective... I work with 25 Khmer colleagues who speak English as their second language almost every day and I think they're so brave, so smart and amazing simply because they're not afraid to show and try to have conversations in English, so why I can't I see that for myself about Khmer? That's another post altogether, for now back to my unprepared for Khmer lesson...
"Yvonne, tell me honestly, how long did you spend preparing this?" was his first question after my teacher listened to me stammer through 25 minutes worth of very little about HPC. So I told him. Next question, "Are you satisfied with this?" to which I again honestly answered no. "Okay, so next week try again, I know you can do better" he said. I was frustrated. I like to move on, I don't enjoy feeling stuck. I would have much rather just bombed and quit, moved on to something else next week so I didn't have to do a better job. I did learn a few words and phrases today that I needed in order to better communicate about HPC and my heart. I also got a new memory verse (because I did manage to memorize Romans 10:17 in Khmer!) which is always fun, 2 Timothy 1:7 in Khmer, woohoo!!
I knew going into this morning that I wasn't going to do my best and I really considered just canceling the lesson. I'm glad I didn't. I chose to show up instead. I chose to beat my pride back with humility and fumble through a jumble of words that was my own fault for not investing in it the way I could have (and I really could have, it wasn't a week where I didn't have time, I just chose other things...). I showed up and was held accountable as I was forced to be honest. I showed up and was given grace as my teacher patiently listened to sentences he knows I could have said more accurately, quickly and with much more ease than I did. I showed up and heard words of mercy and encouragement as I was reminded that students are students so that they can learn not because they already know it all. I showed up and was challenged (which, once I've let go of my frustration and accepted things for what they are, is motivating for me!) to give it my all next time.
Brene Brown writes in her book, Daring Greatly, "Rather than sitting on the sidelines and hurling judgement and advice, we must dare to show up and let ourselves be seen. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly." During today's Khmer lesson I was seen, it wasn't my best but I was seen. I was vulnerable and had the opportunity to be met with grace, patience, accountability, honesty and motivation to keep going!
And, this blog.... I didn't write when I wanted to this week but I'm writing now. I'm showing up. I can be seen. It's vulnerable, it's a risk. It motivates me because if I can do it tonight then I can do it next time, too. I'm choosing to see this morning's Khmer lesson as a victory because I really could have backed out, cancelled and gone to pick up a friend from the airport, but I didn't. And this writing, right now, is an even bigger victory!
Jesus showed up for me, He did not sit on the sidelines and judge where I was. He walked the earth, He died on the cross, He was vulnerable. And, I certainly see Him, I honor Him in the ways He has showed up and how He'll continue to show up. So, yeah, when He asks me to show up for a Khmer lesson in honesty instead of backing out and letting shame and pride win, I will. When He asks me to show up and start writing again, about things that matter to me, about vulnerable things, I will. I will continue to dare to show up because He continues to meet me every time.
What did you show up for? What will you show up for?

Ms. Chaitali Sinha. Program Officer, Mr. Matthew Smith. Program Officer of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
What characteristics of the eSAC project make it interesting from the standpoint of IDRC?
For IDRC, the eSAC project embodies innovation with regards to its model, approach and techniques.Covering a wide spectrum of integrated activities, eSAC includes competitive grant process to provide incentives for innovative eHealth solutions within the domain of public health. In addition, the project simultaneously seeds and nurtures a fertile ground for eHealth policy and practice across Latin American. For example, it will support a group of young professionals from the region who will be placed at PAHO offices to champion greater eHealth awareness, engagement and dialogue. These young professionals will act as a conduit between the research, innovations and policy and help build awareness and engagement among the eHealth community in their specific region. The eSAC model represents a combination of practice, policy and applied research that both promotes new innovations within this rapidly evolving and dynamic field, while leveraging existing networks of individuals, organizations and knowledge.
What other lines of work or projects in eHealth is IDRC working on in the world?
Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) provides research grants to individuals and institutions in the developing world to find solutions to their social, economic and environmental problems. IDRC has been funding eHealth research for nearly a decade. These funded activities range from exploratory proof-of-concept studies to large multi-country research networks examining the relationship between eHealth solutions and health outcomes. Supporting eHealth research through networks has allowed IDRC and its recipients to apply lessons from earlier projects, to foster collective experience and capacities, and to provide a nurturing environment for dialogue, peer mentorship and growth. Indeed, these experiences have shaped the model, approach and techniques to be used within eSAC.
Two examples of eHealth research networks funded by IDRC include: i) Open Architectures Standards and Information Systems Phase II (OASIS II) in Africa, and ii) Pan Asian Collaboration for Evidence-based eHealth Adoption and Application (PANACEA) in Asia. Both of these networks represent lessons applied from past IDRC support, as well as a response to pressing health needs and ICT landscapes in the specific region. OASIS II is based on open principles and data standards and is designed to gather evidence and experiences on how to move away from information silos organized vertically by disease and toward an interoperable system in which data is made easily available to those who need it - including care providers and public health officials - through a common enterprise architecture. PANACEA is a network of researchers that are gathering evidence of how eHealth solutions influence health outcomes through methodologically sound and locally relevant research studies. Information about these and other IDRC-supported eHealth projects can be accessed at www.idrc.ca.
What opportunities can you identify as a result of the joint effort with PAHO?
Working with PAHO opens up many opportunities for the eSAC project team (which also includes the University of Toronto's Centre for Global eHealth Innovation), as well as for the eHealth community in the LAC region. For instance, the knowledge resources at PAHO provides a vast pool of resources for the eSAC network to draw upon, and to contribute back to through iterative learning, analysis and documentation as well as providing a critical direct link between the policy-making and research communities . Supporting the young eHealth professionals is also a unique and especially significant opportunity that is only possible through a partnership with PAHO. We expect that supporting the young professionals will yield short-term benefits through enhanced engagement and awareness among key eHealth constituencies in the region. Moreover, these individuals can represent a catalytic body of individuals that form the foundation of ongoing knowledge brokering between the developers, implementers and users of the eHealth solutions.

The surreal, apocalyptic world of rose brides, secret student councils, silhouette stage girls, high-stakes sword duels and revolutionary prince girls all come to life in the long-awaited 'Utena Original Soundtrack,' loaded with 36 tracks of unpredictable music that's unlike anything you've ever heard in an anime TV series.
Filled to disc capacity with whimsical violin pieces, elegant, sad piano solos and dramatic dueling choruses, this is one eclectic CD, featuring 11 vocal tracks and 25 instrumentals, including the unforgettably meaningful opening theme song, 'A Round Dance - Revolution' and the passionate ending song, 'Truth.'

Stop Dirty Fuels:
Oil Shale
Stop Dirty Fuels : Tar Sands : Liquid Coal : Oil Shale
photo: Dan Lashof, NRDC Shell Mahogany site in Western Colorado, where Shell conducts oil shale research projects. This picture is representative of an insitu condensation experiment.
Oil shale is a sedimentary rock found in vast quantities in the Green River Formation, which lies beneath portions of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming -- some of the most important wildlife habitat in the country. When heated to extreme temperatures, oil shale can be converted into liquid petroleum, which can be further refined into transportation fuel.
Oil shale development would further deplete already scarce water resources in the West, threaten wildlife habitat and increase air pollution, and the conversion process could also generate toxic waste. Western communities, already feeling the impacts of polluting oil and gas production, would face even more risks.
Despite the fact that commercial oil shale technology is largely untested, the amount of potential oil in the Green River Formation makes it an attractive proposition for many oil companies, who are pushing federal agencies to open publicly-owned wildlands to industrial energy development.

Books Starting With "B"
Burnt Toast
Few women in America are as adored -- and accessible -- as Teri Hatcher. As the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award-winner for her portrayal of ditzy divorcee Susan Mayer on ABC's hit series Desperate Housewives, she's attained a level of success late in her career (in Hollywood terms, anyway) that most women would kill for. But in real life, Teri deals with the same issues as so many women: divorce, single motherhood, bad dates, turning forty . . . So it's no surprise that when Burnt Toast was published in hardcover, it received tremendous attention and went on to become a major national bestseller.
Full of Teri's foibles and successes, unexpected vulnerability, and frank openness (from looking in the refrigerator for Mr. Right to being told by her daughter's pediatrician that she should date more), Burnt Toast is a funny, intimate, uplifting portrait of one woman's daily struggles and successes on the road to living an inspired life.

"I was very happy with the quality of these announcements. I was worried about the photo quality, being that the announcement was only offered on cardstock paper not photo paper, but the photo was clear and perfect. Everyone commented on the quality and beauty of the announcements. The announcements exceeded by expectations and I am very pleased with my purchase!"
"This is a very sweet announcement and such a nice quality. I never expected to choose such a busy card. We wanted something classic and simple, but this card just fit my sweet daughter and her pose/expression/little floral bow perfectly. Once I changed the font to Mama Script for her name, I was really sold. We didn't change anything else and left the back as is and went with semi-glossy. I did round the corners, which makes the card seem just that much sweeter and feminine. Just a heads up: While my original photo looked great on my computer, once it was on the preview card it seemed pretty dull, so I took a chance by editing it to be lighter/brighter/deeper saturated and re-uploaded the new picture (took a few tries before the preview looked close enough to the original). I loved how they turned out!"
"All I can say is Im so pleased with Tiny Prints! I love my daughters Birth Announcement along with everyone else I sent it to. We were told we could receive our order in 2 week and it only took 3 business days!!!!!! Thank you Tiny Prints"

Villa Costanzo:
Is a villa located on the beach of Positano, 10 yards away from the sea.
It is ideal for family accommodation with children, and people who like to have everything at your fingertips.
Near the apartment there are the best restaurants in Positano, and down the stairs (12 stairs) there is an exclusive wine bar where you can enjoy a fantastic aperitif in the shade of the magnolias and then go to dinner in one of the restaurants that are in radius of 20 yards.
The advantages of the apartment are to have the sea to 10 yards away, and then, beaches, boat rental, restaurants, bars and shops all in a radius of 30 yards, and finally only 100 yards away there is the pier that allows you to reach by ferry or hydrofoil all the top tourist destinations as the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Naples, Sorrento and Salerno, enjoying the journey in peace without having to drive in the summer traffic, or worse yet, use the bus, and finally enjoy a holiday in peace.
Keywords: Positano, villa, rentals, apartment, for rent,
Hi this is me.
As you can see, Villa Costanzo is right on the beach, 10 yards away from the sea (real).
Edmondo purchased this villa in 2009
If you choose Villa Costanzo for a vacation in Positano, you'll have everything at your fingertips, such as: Beach, sea, restaurants, bar, internet, shopping, etc. ...
The advantage of having the sea below the apartment is amazing, especially if you have kids.
Have a drink in the bar located below the apartment and watch the childrens play on the beach a few meters away from you, is something that relaxes a lot, or go to dinner at one of the restaurants that are within 30 yards from the Villa.
These and other advantages offered by the location of Villa Costanzo will make your holiday a wonderful holiday.
We stayed at Villa Costanzo for 4 nights the first week of November, 2014. The sea was roaring during this time and we were about 100 feet from the water. The villa was in a great location on the beach and in very good condition and well equipped. We could check out all the action below, tourists, locals, and the resident beach dogs. I would recommend this time of year, most restaurants are still open and very mild weather. The day we left, Edmondo arranged for a porter to help with luggage, under brilliant sunshine and a calm sea. Great spot for enjoying the best of Positano after the crowds have gone.
My son and I loved our time at villa costanzo you couldn't get any closer to the beach. The apartment was spotless and had all the comforts of home. The bed linens and towels were of high quality and even provided beach towels. All the furnishings were in great condition it is hard to fault anything except the shower was a bit small but we managed. Edmundo even welcomed us with a huge bowl of delicious fresh fruit. A nice touch. I would recommended this apartment to anyone.
We arrived for a 4 day stay on a Saturday. The day was beautiful, warm, the sea shining! The view is wonderful and romantic. I was in heaven and patiently went through the indoctrination given by the host. I picked this location as being close to everything as my husband is 70 and has a heart condition and it would be the easiest for him to enjoy Positano. Sadly, I didn't read the one review that explains how noisy it is way into the night. Because of the great location on the main steps up from the beach, from midnight to 5:30 am we had happy, laughing, crying, singing tourists outside our window. We are light sleepers and it was impossible to sleep at all. After 3 nights we realized we could not stay the 4th. I think this kind of noise bothers us more than most people, so this cautionary review is only for light sleepers. I would have to say also that the bed in the main bedroom is not that comfortable for Americans. The sofa in the living room has a futon in it and I only found this right before we planned to leave. That might be a good option for both the noise and the bed. This is a great location and for younger people or those that don't have trouble sleeping - it will be the vacation rental of your dreams!
We just finished our wonderful stay at this vacation rental in Positano. Everything exceeded our expectations for several reasons. First of all, Edmondo, the owner of the apartment made the operation of all aspects of the apartment very clear so that we would not have any difficulties taking advantage of the amenities such as the washer, dryer, dishwasher, TV, internet, and the working of the marvelous kitchen. He was the perfect host. We enjoyed the fabulous location just a few steps to the beach (could not have been any closer than this), ate at the marvelous restaurants within yards of the apartment, walked the promenade along the beach front, shopped at the very pleasant shops, and utilized the close by ferry to find our way back to Naples. We also discovered that John Steinbeck had once used the apartment which added to the joy of being there. With windows and balconies opening to the sea and the display of people passing by just below us and the beauty of the evening and the air, this vacation apartment experience was one we won't soon forget!
If Positano is the "Pearl of the Med", then Villa Costanza is the "Pearl of Positano". First, it boasts an extremely fortunate location--directly above the small square and 13 steps going down to the beach. The view is spectacular and everything one could want is close at hand. Second, the apartment itself is comfortably furnished and impeccably maintained. The layout stretches across the front of the building, so all rooms open onto the sea. Finally, the owner is genuinely concerned that his tenants enjoy the experience of staying in the apartment and he diligently explains all about its workings and answers all questions patiently and fully. Bellissima!
The apartment is situated in a great location directly in front of the beach. Restaurants, boat rentals, beach all right by your apartment. My only small complaints are that it is very loud at night due to the location and the check in was a long process. Besides those two things everything was perfect. Edmondo does a great job of communicating with you before your stay and also during your stay to help with any problems you may have. Wi-fi works great, and having a washer and dryer was great.
I will stay here again next time I come to Positano.

Ooh, doesn't Charlize look like a superhero vixen? This statuesque blonde can pull many things off — including a black piped Proenza Schouler corset, black stovepipe pants and bondage-like Vivier heels. I also like that she was one of the few who didn't wear a dress! I dig it, do you?

I'm not sure the corset is quite my style, but Charlize rocks it. I have to give her credit for such a daring choice.

Privacy ... seeing out but not in?
My house sits up a hill from the neighbors and they have a great view right into our kitchen. When I reno the kitchen in a few months I'll be replacing the windows and I'm wondering about any options that allow me to see out into the backyard but not have them looking in.
Yes, I understand "blinds, shades, curtains, etc." but I'm not overly fond of any of those, although I certainly will do that if needed. But I'm hoping to have a garden window over the sink and that doesn't seem particularly ripe for traditional window treatments.
So I was wondering if there's any kind of film or such that could be applied for privacy?
There are reflective films that can be used on windows much the same that are used on auto windows. You can see out but folks can't see in. Now, if you plan to use a window box window that is like a minature greenhouse, the film would effect sunlight that might hinder plant growth. Unless you cook naked, maybe your neighbors have more to do than watch your kitchen activity.
You are lucky to be the uphill neighbor. If I were your downhill neighbors, I'd be the one concerned about neighbors being able to look in. I do take your problem seriously, though. I would suggest that you really find out how much your neighbor can really see from their house. If you are uphill from them, maybe all they really can see are your kitchen ceilings. They are looking at your house from an upward angle afterall. Also, windows over the sink tend to be higher windows. And if it is over the sink, you will never stand right next to the window, you will always be a counterwidth away from the window. Will you fill the window with some plants? That will also block the view.
I am facing a similar situation. About 30 years ago, we had a film on our parents house on a couple of the windows. During the day, no one could see in, but at night when you turned on the light, people could see into the house.
I am trying to find a film that would not only help with the electric bill in the summer, but might offer some type of privacy. I've been looking on this website. This product is also offered in the orange box hardware stores. Hopefully you can find something with this link. You'll have to cut and paste it. I never could figure out how to do links on this website.
From what I'm understanding though through this website, I can't have both things I want. I have to choose either privacy OR heat control.
