The authors sought to evaluate the association of self-efficacy with objective measures of cardiac function, subsequent hospitalization for heart failure (HF), and all-cause mortality.
Observational cohort of ambulatory patients with stable CHD. The authors measured self-efficacy using a published, validated, 5-item summative scale, the Sullivan Self-Efficacy to Maintain Function Scale. The authors also performed a cardiac assessment, including an exercise treadmill test with stress echocardiography.
Hospitalizations for HF, as determined by blinded review of medical records, and all-cause mortality, with adjustment for demographics, medical history, medication use, depressive symptoms, and social support.
Of the 1,024 predominately male, older CHD patients, 1013 (99%) were available for follow-up, 124 (12%) were hospitalized for HF, and 235 (23%) died during 4.3 years of follow-up. Mean cardiac self-efficacy score was 9.7 (SD 4.5, range 0–20), corresponding to responses between "not at all confident" and "somewhat confident" for ability to maintain function. Lower self-efficacy predicted subsequent HF hospitalization (OR per SD decrease = 1.4, p = 0006), and all-cause mortality (OR per SD decrease = 1.4, p < .0001). After adjustment, the association of cardiac self-efficacy with both HF hospitalization and mortality was explained by worse baseline cardiac function.
Among patients with CHD, self-efficacy was a reasonable proxy for predicting HF hospitalizations. The increased risk of HF associated with lower baseline self-efficacy was explained by worse cardiac function. These findings indicate that measuring cardiac self-efficacy provides a rapid and potentially useful assessment of cardiac function among outpatients with CHD.
As mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) improves in the acute setting, improving care and outcomes for those with stable CHD assumes greater importance for public health. Avoiding hospitalization for heart failure (HF) is an important goal for this population, and understanding predictors of HF is the first step toward targeted prevention measures. In addition to cardiac physiology, psychosocial factors may contribute to HF hospitalizations (Howie-Esquivel & Dracup, 2007; Jiang et al., 2007; Sherwood et al., 2007), through both increased physiologic stress and through patient behaviors such as inadequate medication adherence (Murray et al., 2007; Tu et al., 2005).
Self-efficacy is a psychological construct based on social–cognitive theory, which describes the interaction between behavioral, personal, and environmental factors in health and chronic disease (Bandura, 1977, 1997; Lorig & Holman, 2003). The theory of self-efficacy proposes that patients' confidence in their ability to perform certain health behaviors influences their engagement in and actual performance of those behaviors (e.g., diet and exercise adherence), which in turn influence health outcomes. Indeed, the construct of self-efficacy has extended far beyond the psychological arena, and has been demonstrated to affect health behaviors and chronic disease management in many chronic diseases settings (Aljasem, Peyrot, Wissow, & Rubin, 2001; Arnold et al., 2005; Bernal, Woolley, Schenaul, & Dickinson, 2000; Clark & Dodge, 1999; Holden, 1991; Kavanagh, Gooley, & Wilson, 1993; McCaul, Glasgow, & Schafer, 1987). Importantly, self-efficacy is a modifiable characteristic; many health behavior interventions have been shown to improve patients' self-efficacy (Lorig & Holman, 2003; Lorig et al., 2001; Maddigan et al., 2004; Oka, DeMarco, & Haskell, 2005).
In patients with cardiovascular disease, studies of self-efficacy have largely focused on its role in successful cardiac rehabilitation (Berkhuysen, Nieuwland, Buunk, Sanderman, & Rispens, 1999; Carlson et al., 2001; Ewart, Taylor, Reese, & DeBusk, 1983; Foster et al., 1995; Gardner et al., 2003; Izawa et al., 2005). In addition, one previous study found that self-efficacy predicted health status in 198 patients undergoing cardiac angiography (Sullivan, LaCroix, Russo, & Katon, 1998). In our previous work, we found that greater cardiac self-efficacy was associated with better health status in a cross-sectional study of patients with CHD (Sarkar, Ali, & Whooley, 2007).
We chose to examine HF for two reasons. First, HF requires complex self-management activities including not only medication adherence but also frequent weighing, and, for some patients, self-titration of diuretic medications. Because higher self-efficacy has been associated with better self-management across multiple chronic disease settings, we hypothesized that self-efficacy would be especially relevant to avoiding hospitalization for HF (Curtin et al., 2008; Sarkar, Fisher, & Schillinger, 2006; Subramanian, Hopp, Mitchinson, & Lowery, 2008; Wolf et al., 2007). Second, the symptoms of HF often vary substantially from day to day. Thus, day-to-day management of HF and its symptoms is much more challenging (and more likely to be influenced by self-efficacy) than management of CHD, in which day-to-day symptom levels do not usually fluctuate and hospitalizations are much more sudden/episodic.
Therefore, we sought to determine whether baseline cardiac self-efficacy would predict subsequent hospitalizations for HF within a population of 1024 outpatients with established CHD (CHD), and to assess whether this relationship would be independent of known demographic factors, psychosocial characteristics, and baseline cardiac function. In addition, because mortality is the ultimate endpoint for patients with CHD, we report the association between baseline self-efficacy and all-cause mortality in this cohort, with adjustment for other factors as above.
The Heart and Soul Study is a prospective cohort study of psychosocial factors and health outcomes in patients with coronary disease. Data collection methods have been described in detail elsewhere (Bibbins-Domingo et al., 2007; Ruo et al., 2003; Ruo, Rumsfeld, Pipkin, & Whooley, 2004). Briefly, administrative databases were used to identify patients with one of the following eligibility criteria: a history of myocardial infarction, angiographic evidence of at least 50% stenosis of one or more coronary vessels, evidence of ischemia by treadmill or nuclear stress testing, or a history of coronary revascularization. The exclusion criteria were an intention to move out of the area within three years, a history of myocardial infarction within the last six months, or exercise tolerance less than 1 block, all of which precluded safe completion of the study.
Between September 2000 and December 2002, we recruited 1,024 participants with CHD from 2 Department of Veterans' Affairs Medical Centers, 1 university hospital, and 9 public health clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. These are the subjects of the current analysis. The baseline appointment included a medical history interview, a physical examination, an exercise treadmill test with a stress echocardiogram, and a comprehensive health status questionnaire. The protocol was approved by the institutional review boards at all participating facilities.
We conducted annual telephone follow-up interviews with participants (or their proxy) to ask about death or hospitalizations. If any participant or proxy reported a hospitalization, we retrieved and reviewed the medical records for that hospitalization. Two independent and blinded adjudicators retrieved and reviewed medical records, electrocardiograms, death certificates, and coroner's reports. If both adjudicators agreed on the outcome classification, it was binding. If there was disagreement, they conferred, reconsidered their classification, and requested consultation from a third, blinded adjudicator as necessary.
The outcome of interest, HF hospitalization, was defined as hospitalization for a clinical syndrome with ≥2 of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, increased jugular venous pressure, pulmonary rales, third heart sound, cardiomegaly on chest X-ray, or pulmonary edema on chest X-ray, as determined by the adjudicators from reviewing medical records. These clinical signs and symptoms must have represented a clear change from the normal clinical state of the patient and been accompanied by either failing cardiac output, determined as peripheral hypoperfusion (hypotension in the absence of other causes, such as sepsis or dehydration) or peripheral or pulmonary edema. In addition to all the hospital records, supportive documentation of decreased cardiac index, increasing pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, decreasing oxygen saturation, and end-organ hypoperfusion, if available, were included in adjudication.
For any reported death, medical records, coroner's reports, and death certificates were reviewed. For this analysis, we include all causes of death.
The main predictor of interest was cardiac self-efficacy, defined as participants' confidence in their ability to take care of their health (Bandura, 1977, 1997). We measured cardiac self-efficacy using Sullivan's validated 5-item summative "Maintain function" scale (Arnold et al., 2005; Berkhuysen et al., 1999; Salamah, Wahl, & Abriam-Yago, 2003; Sullivan et al., 1998). We elected to use a disease-specific measure because we hypothesized patients' cardiac disease would be a strong driver of their self-efficacy, and that would be best captured by the well-validated, widely used Sullivan scale. Each item begins with the stem, "How confidant are you that you know or can," and assesses an aspect of daily life-function, such as work and social activities (See Appendix). The responses are a 5-level Likert scale from 0 = "not at all confident" to 4 = "completely confident." We did not include a "not applicable" response option. The self-efficacy scores range between 0 and 20, with a higher score indicating better self-efficacy to maintain function.
To evaluate whether differences in baseline cardiac function accounted for the relation between self-efficacy and HF, we performed three baseline measures of cardiac function: echocardiographic assessment of resting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), exercise treadmill test for exercise capacity, and a stress echocardiogram for assessment of fixed and inducible ischemia (wall motion abnormalities). All of these variables are well-established measures of cardiac function (Braunwald et al., 2002).
A complete resting two-dimensional echocardiogram was performed on each participant. To determine the LVEF, standard two-dimensional parasternal short-axis and apical two-chamber and four-chamber views were used. Before and after exercise, we obtained apical two-chamber, four-chamber, and precordial long-and short-axis views to detect changes in wall motion or ventricular dilatation with exercise. To account for fixed and exertional wall motion defects (our measure of ischemia), we calculated the wall motion score at peak exercise. Each of 16 wall segments was evaluated for contractility at peak exercise, as follows 1 = normal, 2 = hypokinetic, 3 = akinetic, 4 = dyskinetic, 5 = aneurysm. The scores for each segment are averaged to create an index from 1–165 16, with a higher score indicating worse contractility.
Participants reported demographic characteristics, including age, ethnicity, education, and marital status. Patients reported their annual household income, and because we were interested in low income as a risk factor, we dichotomized responses into less that $20,000 versus ≥$20,000 annual household income. Self-reported history of myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes mellitus, or hypertension, as well as alcohol and tobacco use, were assessed by questionnaire. To account for other clinical characteristics that could affect HF hospitalization, we recorded use of medications such as beta-blockers, statins, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, and antidepressants. Body-mass index (weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) was calculated for each participant.
Because we wanted to assess the independent contribution of self-efficacy, we chose to measure and adjust for several potentially related psychosocial variables (Cossette, Frasure-Smith, & Lesperance, 2001; Golden-Kreutz & Andersen, 2004; Ruo et al., 2003; Shyu, Tang, Tsai, Liang, & Chen, 2005; Spertus, McDonell, Woodman, & Fihn, 2000; Sullivan, LaCroix, Spertus, & Hecht, 2000). We measured depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (Spitzer, Kroenke, & Williams, 1999), a validated measure in which a higher score indicates more depressive symptoms. We considered a score of 10 or higher as consistent with depressive symptoms (McManus, Pipkin, & Whooley, 2005). To assess perceived stress, we used the 16-point, 4-item Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983), in which experiencing at least one stressful symptom "fairly often," or a score of 9 or higher, indicates stress. We asked participants "do you have as much contact as you like with someone you feel close to, someone in whom you can trust and confide (yes/no)?" to assess social support (Williams et al., 1992).
We aimed to evaluate the associations between cardiac self-efficacy and baseline cardiac function, between cardiac self-efficacy and future HF hospitalization, and between cardiac self-efficacy and all-cause mortality. First, we examined the association of decreasing self-efficacy quartile with three measures of cardiac function at baseline. Next, we created Kaplan-Meier curves to depict heart-failure free survival, and overall survival, by quartile of cardiac self-efficacy.
To further evaluate the independent association of self-efficacy with HF hospitalization, we performed a sequential multivariate linear regression, per standard deviation (4.5-point decrease) in self-efficacy. Potential predictors were grouped a priori into five conceptually based blocks, and each block of variables was added sequentially into the model as follows: (a) demographic variables: age, gender, race, income, education, marital status; (b) medical history: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, prior myocardial infarction, prior coronary revascularization, prior stroke, body mass index; (c) medication use: beta-blocker, statin, renin-angiotensin system inhibitor, aspirin, antidepressant; (d) psychosocial characteristics: depressive symptoms, current tobacco use, poor social support, regular alcohol use, and perceived stress; (e) cardiac function variables: LVEF, wall motion index, and exercise capacity. We employed an identical procedure to elucidate the relationship between self-efficacy and all-cause mortality.
In all models, we tested for interactions between self-efficacy score and other psychosocial characteristics (depressive symptoms, social support, and perceived stress); and between self-efficacy and gender and nonwhite ethnicity and age. Results are reported as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Analyses were performed using SAS version 9 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC).
Patients were older and predominantly male, with relatively low socioeconomic status (see Table 1). The cohort has significant disease burden, with a majority of patients reporting history of myocardial infarction (54%) and coronary revascularization (59%). The mean self-efficacy score was 9.7 (standard deviation 4.5, range 0–20, skewness 0.18) corresponding to responses between "not at all confident" and "somewhat confident" for all of the scale items. The Cronbach's alpha for the scale was 0.80.
We observed an association between lower self-efficacy score and worse baseline cardiac function. With each decreasing quartile of self-efficacy, the mean LVEF ( p for trend = 0.048), mean wall motion score index ( p = .07) and mean exercise capacity ( p for trend <0.001) decreased (see Figure 1).
During an average of 4.3 years of follow-up, 124 patients were hospitalized for HF, 235 died, and 9 were lost to follow-up. Figure 2 depicts the HF-free survival for each quartile of self-efficacy. Those with lower baseline self-efficacy were more likely to be hospitalized for HF. In fact, with each standard-deviation (22%) decrease in self-efficacy participants were 40% more like to be hospitalized for HF, and 30% more likely to die (Table 2)
With stepwise adjustment for demographics, medical history, medication use, and psychosocial factors, self-efficacy remained independently predictive of heart failure hospitalization and death. However, after adjustment for baseline cardiac function, self-efficacy was no longer associated with future heart failure hospitalizations or all–case mortality (see Table 2).
There were no interactions between self-efficacy and the other psychosocial measures (depressive symptoms, social support, and perceived stress). We also did not find interactions of self-efficacy score with gender, race/ethnicity, age or cardiac function (all p values for interaction >0.10).
Low self-efficacy was associated with worse baseline cardiac function and with increased risk of HF hospitalizations in 1024 ambulatory patients with CHD. Self-efficacy is thus a reasonable proxy for predicting future hospitalizations, but this observed association appears to be related to differences in baseline cardiac function. This suggests that self-reported cardiac self-efficacy provides a rapid, potentially useful assessment of cardiac function for ambulatory CHD patients. Thus, a patient' own reported self-efficacy may add additional insight beyond the standard data in the ambulatory setting about their risk for hospitalization, and even mortality. This lends support to a more patient-centered view of ambulatory cardiac care.
These findings build on the growing body of evidence linking self-efficacy with physical health (Clark & Dodge, 1999; Lorig & Holman, 2003; Lorig et al., 2001). In prior studies, self-efficacy has been correlated with self-management behaviors for chronic conditions (Aljasem et al., 2001; Bernal et al., 2000; Kavanagh et al., 1993; McCaul et al., 1987). In small studies of selected groups, including patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (Berkhuysen et al., 1999; Carlson et al., 2001; Ewart et al., 1983; Foster et al., 1995; Gardner et al., 2003; Izawa et al., 2005) and cardiac catheterization (Sullivan et al., 1998), patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Arnold et al., 2005), and older women with congestive HF (Clark & Dodge, 1999), investigators have found an association between self-efficacy and health status. Our prior work found significant consistent associations between baseline self-efficacy and health status (Sarkar et al., 2007).
Our study further elucidates the self-efficacy—health outcome relationship in several ways. First, we measured self-efficacy at baseline and followed patients prospectively, avoiding the potential problem of reverse causation. Another strength of our study was our ability to adjust for psychosocial characteristics such as depressive symptoms, perceived stress, and social support, which could certainly play a role in HF hospitalization. Finally, because all participants underwent a detailed cardiac evaluation, we were able to include several objective measures of cardiac function in our analysis.
We recognize that the cross-sectional association between self-efficacy and baseline cardiac function can be interpreted in several ways. First, it may be that for patients with CHD, their cardiac function determines their self-efficacy, or their confidence in their ability to manage their health. Given that objective measures of cardiac function are not strongly associated with patient-reported health status, this seems less likely. Another possibility is that this particular self-efficacy measure, because it was developed and validated for cardiac patients, focuses on cardiac function more than overall function. However, the individual items in the self-efficacy scale do not allude to specific CHD symptoms or problems. Finally, it may be that this measure of self-efficacy provides a patient-reported measure or estimate of cardiac function, such that patients' confidence accurately reflects their own functional abilities. This suggests that the Sullivan Self-efficacy to Maintain Function scale shows potential as a research instrument not only to estimate self-efficacy but also as a marker for baseline cardiac function among patients with stable CHD.
Despite its strengths, our study also has several limitations. First, most participants were older, lower-income males, and therefore the results may not be generalizable to other patient populations. Second, although a debate exists as to the utility of disease-specific versus global self-efficacy instruments (Clark & Dodge, 1999; Lorig et al., 2001), we elected to use a disease-specific measure. Third, we measured self-efficacy only at baseline. Self-efficacy may have worsened between study initiation and hospitalization, leading to an underestimate of the true effect of self-efficacy on hospitalization. Finally, because of the variety of self-efficacy measures in the literature (ranging from single item to in-depth cognitive interviews) we cannot accurately compare the effect sizes for the self-efficacy—health status associations we found to those in other studies.
In summary, understanding risks for HF hospitalization, and for mortality, is an important goal for chronic management of cardiovascular disease. We found that patient self-efficacy is predictive of HF hospitalization and all-cause mortality, and that this relationship is entirely explained by worse baseline cardiac function among participants with low self-efficacy. These results suggest that self-efficacy is a marker for patients' cardiac function, and this may contribute to its role in CHD outcomes.

Preston Bailey, event designer, plans your next bash in four easy steps
1. Decorate Smart
Use decorating elements that you can eat, keep or give away, like a plant, flower or fruit arrangement as a table centerpiece.
2. Factor Costs
Set a budget and decide what's most important to you. Do you really, really want live music or top-notch food? Then make that your main focus. Consider offering only punch or wine to save on pricier drinks.
3. Skip Fancy Meals
Instead of having a sit-down dinner, do a buffet—when people can move around, the mood's more lively. Plus, you'll use fewer tables, so there's less cleanup afterward.
4. Be Creative
For Halloween or Thanksgiving, use fall leaves to create a centerpiece. Try festive wrapping paper to make a table runner or placemats, and ribbons to tie napkins for a Christmas party.

Steinitz, Israel is not making any 'serious territorial concessions'. The territories in question, do not belong to Israel and israel is illegally occupying these territories. These are territories that belong to the Palestinian people and should be given back to them with no compromize or demands being put on the Palestinian people in order to start the peace process. Steinitz, you are trying to make it look like Israel should be recommended for making such sacrifices, but the reality is that Israel has broken international laws by stealing these lands and should not only return these lands, but Israel should also be punished for strealing these lands. Israel is not making any sacrifices but instead is getting off the hook without being punished for being a thief.

text: Been to both. Both are good for macro, but personally I'd think there is a lot more diversity in Lambeh. There is some reef diving in Ambon, but it's a bit of a boat ride away, if I recall; for reef/wall, I think I would just take a few days off from Lambeh and go to Bunaken/Bangka. Another thing I like about Lambeh is that eth resorts are _much_ nicer (better living, camera rooms, much better food)..

Walk This Way
The Walkway over the Hudson is finally open to visitors. The project to turn a 120-year old freight bridge into a paved public walkway connecting Highland, New York on the west bank to Poughkeepsie, New York on the east. It's approximately 212 feet above the water surface and 1.25 miles long or 6,767 feet.
Standing at the halfway point on the bridge you look down on the Mid-Hudson Bridge and get a new appreciation for just how wide the river is.
I admit I'm a little biased towards the Walkway. I grew up in the the Hudson Valley and drove (or was driven) across the Mid-Hudson bridge more times than I can remember. As a child, looking at the rusted structure that ran parallel to the Mid-Hudson I wondered why no one ever used it. My father told me it was a train bridge that was no longer in use. I always assumed steam engines raced up and down the steel trusses of the bridge like a roller coaster.
In reality the Walkway Over the Hudson is the top of the bridge and is wide enough for two lanes of traffic, although this bridge is just for feet.
The Walkway's celebratory parade did not disappoint. Town delegations from Dutchess and Ulster county marched across the walkway with homemade banners.
To say the mood was jubilant is an understatement. Marching bands and community groups played. People were singing and dancing and cheering for other towns as they passed one another. I now live further downstream (on the Jersey side) and I forgot what kinds of creative depth exists in the Hudson Valley.
My favorite of the banners were the blue swaths of cloth carried above everyone's head like rippling water with puppet boats sailing on them.
In all it was a beautiful celebration for a new state park and an impressive way to recycle an unused bridge, that should wow anyone who sees it.
For more information on the Walkway Over the Hudson, visit walkway.org.

"vista impresionante, ubicacion estrategica"
Mi amiga y yo decidimos irnos a Mar del Plata y buscamos un lugar frente al mar,y nos encontramos con un departamento expectacular
Recibimoso una atención de primera desde Carlos hasta ale quien fue la persona que nos recibió para el ingreso
El apartamento tiene una vista imponente, súper luminoso, esta equipado con todo para quedarte a vivir.
El edificio cuenta con seguridad las 24 horas, eso nos dio mucha tranquilidad cuando volviamos de bailar, o también cuando pediamos delivery bien entrada la noche.
Las camas comodísimas y lo increíble el sonido del mar a la noche, que mas pedir... solo volver
Lo malo fue el poco tiempo, y que ya esta todo reservado el verano :-(

"Amazing sunrise!"
This apartment is perfect! Has everything you need for cooking at home and is very comfortable. The photos of the views do not do it justice. The sunrise view from bed is amazing. Carlos was a very helpful host, even not living nearby he was accessible if I needed anything. For anyone staying alone it is very comforting to know that there is always a security gaurd at the front desk 24 hrs a day and they are very helpful. Also, I worked 8 hrs a day online while I was there and never had an issue with the internet and it was very quick.

"the best option, here everything is right"
Everything about this apartment is right: the location, the furniture, the incredible ocean view and the professional service from the apartment owner. Everything is spot on. We will definitely visit this great ocean city again and this will be the apartment we will stay at. No need to look for another place. Mar del Plata is an undiscovered treasure for foreign visitors. Another great plus is the 24-hour security in the building.

"absolutamente maravilloso!!!"
De todos los departamentos que hemos rentado el mejor sin lugar a dudas!! las fotos coinciden exactamente con el departamento, la vista es increible tanto de día como de noche.
Está en un lugar estratégico para los que nos gusta caminar y recorrer la ciudad, desde allí se puede ir a pie, con sentido sur, hacia el puerto ( donde hay muchos restaurantes) también se puede llegar al centro comercial guemes, donde hay un sin número de locales comerciales y variedad gastronómica ( tanto diuarna como nocturna)también cuenta con un extensa costanera que permite recorrer la ciudad ,siempre con una maravillosa vista al mar.
A diferencia de otros departamentos este se destaca por la buena atención, lo facil que fue hacer el check in y check out y la limpieza.
Una experiencia maravillosa, espero volver pronto!!!

"Now I Understand"
Now I understand why it is so difficult to get a booking in this seaside apartment! The place is amazing. The ocean view from the apartment is breathtaking, and Mar del Plata has to be argentina´s most exciting destination. Extremely popular with locals and virtually unknown to foreigners (not for long), Mar del Plata combines beachside living with all the benefits of a pulsating metropolis. Great restaurants, theatres, beautiful promenade, amazing casino, world-class golf-course, etc, etc. Do yourself a favor and come to this seaside town now.

"Enjoyable apartment with the best ocean view in a amazing city"
This is my second trip to argentina. I have already visited Patagonia, the wine region of Mendoza, Iguazu Falls and Salta, and of course, Buenos aires. This time I also had the opportunity to visit this wonderful seaside resort/city. I only spent four nights here, but it was enough to decide to come here again for a much longer period on my next visit. The view from the apartment is amazing, and the city has lots to offer. It caters to every imaginable taste. The food is fantastic, the shopping is great and the seaside promenade is perfect for a run or power-walk. All in all, a perfect place to visit. Another thing to add is that this place works out better and less expensive than a standard hotel room, without a view and without the comfort of this apartment. Absolutely great value.

"The best apartment in this wonderful Ocean City"
Mar del Plata has to argentina´s best kept secret. A truly wonderful ocean city, with the benefits of both a dynamic metropolis and a seaside resort, this is a place where it is impossible to be bored, even on a rainy day. We stayed here for 45 days and given that my husband has to return to argentina for business in July, we have already reserved it as our place of residence. One thing to bear in mind is that MDP is crowded during the summer months, but this is part of the dynamism and charm of the place.

"Great price and water View- makes this place!"
Reasonable, one bedroom, high rise apartment for 2 people only. It is small, but comfortable with a gorgeous water view, a full kitchen, huge cable TV. Linens supplied, note- no washer. Apt located out of town 10 minutes in Historic "Los Tronces" area. Across highway is great waterfront lookout point and long walking path.
10 block walk to closest, but very nice shopping "M. Guemes Street" has Disco supermarket, delis', laundry, Atms, pharmacy, many shops and restaurants.
Reasonable taxis in town. Carlos supplies Wifi/plus a free local cell phone to his renters -to order taxi to i.e. Disco supermarket Market, order "takeout"- para llegar- pizza delivery, and/or go to restaurant. Not many restaurants close by apt. Boston is pretty close restaurant -bakery/good sandwiches/drinks.
*Best parrilla in town is La Marca- We split a Lomo Steak with mushrooms, papas-provencial. and great salad bar. Worth a splurge!.
Carlos has available city maps and list of many good restaurants and take out suggestions, too. l
Taxi from condo necessary to Downtown Plaza Colon, Plaza San Martin,Museums, some distant beaches i.e. Bristol, Casino, Puerto, Golf Course. There is local bus service.
Careful of broken sidewalks, I had a fall at the Puerto and we had to go to the Private Hospital for stitches-- had very good care.
We took the 5 hour bus ride from Buenos aires and flew back -l hour aerolineas airlines to Ba ( Jorge Newberry intown airport). Frequent Buses each day leave from both Ba Station Retiro and Mar Del Plata Station Retiro.
We would return in November, early December or March to avoid all the crowds.

"Stunning views, great apartment, amazing city"
My husband and I stayed 4 nights in this beautiful ocean city. The view from the apartment is simply sensational. We walked the entire promenade, shopped for beautiful knitwear of outstanding quality, celebrated my husband´s birthday at El anticuario, expensive but worth every dollar, great quality mediterranean cuisine. We visited the casino, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. For those who have never heard of Mar del Plata, let me tell you that it is one of argentina´s best destinations. Popular with locals but virtually unknown to foreigners, this ocean city has everything anyone could possibly wish; great food, great shopping, great harbor, friendly people, and much more. We will definitely come back here on our next visit.

"Beautiful seaside apartment"
My wife and I are from australia and this was our first visit to South america and argentina. We had only planned to visit Buenos aires, but we were recommended to visit this fantastic city that we knew nothing about. Mar del Plata is a city that combines urbanism and the beach in one single place. The city offers great restaurants, all kinds of activities, great shopping, and beautiful seaside architecture, such as the Casino. The food is fantastic; great pasta, beef, pizza, fish and seafood, you name it, Mar del Plata has got it. A visit to places like El Palacio del Bife (beef), Alitos (fish), Manolo (pizza and pasta) is a must. The apartment is perfect with everything you need. The owner was helpful and provided all the information we needed. Taxis can be booked by phone without any need to wait outside.
There were a couple of days with windy weather and we decided to visit the beautiful Los Troncos neighborhood, an upper class section of the city with incredible mansions from the early and mid-20th century. Then we went shopping to avenida Guemes and bought pure wool knitwear at incredible prices. All in all, a great decision and a fantastic experience of value and quality.

"Beautiful place and a mild winter"
My wife and I are from Toronto, I am Canadian and she is from argentina. We have visited argentina several times and this time we deciced to spend a couple of weeks in the beautiful seaside city of Mar del Plata. It is winter right now in this part of the world, but nothing compared to the winter in Canada. During our stay, we experienced everything from wet snow, to beautiful mild and sunny weather. Our last week there had an average temperature of 65F.
The apartment is on a great location, close to everything and with stunning ocean views. There is virtually no need for a car, taxi or public transport. Mar del Plata offers everything you can imagine for any type of visitor. We visited a great casino, went fishing, bought natural wool knitwear at unbelievable prices. The restaurants are great and if you want to stay in, there are great rotiserias (delis) where you can get great takeout.
There are interesting towns to visit nearby. Sierra de Los Padres is a perfect one-getaway where you can enjoy an "asado criollo", or argentine meat grilled on a cross (please don´t miss this as it is a unique eating experience and absolutely delicious). Another is Balcarce, where you can visit Fangio´s world class Motor Car Museum.
The apartment is so accommodating, that on several evenings we chose to stay in and relax, eat good takeout and enjoy the beautiful ocean views at night while sipping good argentine wine.

"Totally satisfyng experience"
My wife and I came to Mar del Plata for three nights at first, and ended up staying for ten nights. We were pleasantly surprised, with the apartment and the city. We thought we were coming to a little beach resort and found a world-class city, with magnificent architecture, great food, good shopping, and an easy, laid-back atmosphere. The apartment is excellent in every aspect, beautiful ocean views, nice furniture, inmaculately maintained and clean and on a great location. Carlos, the owner, was helpful and kind and made sure to give us recommendations according to our lifestyle. We enjoyed, walking by the ocean, cycling, shopping, eating out. All in all, a totally satisfying experience. My recommendation is: come to Mar del Plata and stay at this apartment!

"Great Casino and Golf Course by the Ocean"
My husband and I came to argentina to visit Buenos aires and enjoy its great culture and food scene. We both love playing golf and were told that one of the best courses in the country was in the seaside resort of Mar del Plata. We decided to give it a try and rented a great apartment for a week right in front of the Ocean. We loved the course, visited the city´s recently refurbished casino, located in a magnificent building right in front of the sea, and spent a week in a city we knew nothing about but absolutely loved. It takes 45 minutes to get here by plane from Buenos aires and on the way back, there is a shuttle bus service that can take you directly to the international airport in Buenos aires.

"Lovely Ocean City"
We were recommended to visit this lovely ocean city by friends from Buenos aires. We are very glad that we took their advice as we enjoyed our stay in Mar del Plata a great deal. We were not sure what to expect as we knew nothing about it. My husband was all into the ecosports scene in a nearby location called Sierra de Los Padres and I spent most of the time shopping for beautiful knitwear at amazing prices on Calle Guemes. The seaside promenade is beautiful and the apartment has a lovely ocean view and is on a great location close to everything. We highly recommend this city and apartment to anyone wanting to have contact with the ocean before heading home.

"Best Kept Secret"
Whenever people hear about argentina, they hear about Buenos aires, Tango, Iguazu Falls, Mate, and the beautiful lake regions in Patagonia. There is another place, that most foreigners have never heard of, and that place is Mar del Plata. Argentina´s best kept secret and most popular weekend destination for locals, Mar del Plata is a fantastic city, a great resort, and a wonderful place to escape from Buenos aires, all wrapped into one. The food is fantastic, you can do all types of daily activities, and the apartment´s location, looking out into the atlantic Ocean, is unsurpassed. I will definitely come and visit this beautiful place on my next visit to argentina.

"Great ocean city close to Buenos aires"
My husband is from argentina and we were visiting his family in Buenos aires and he decided to spend a couple of weeks in Mar del Plata. Being from California, I had never heard about the place and I have to say that I loved both the property and the city. The apartment is on a great location with a fantastic open ocean view and is nicely furnished and decorated. Mar del Plata is a great getaway from noisy but great Buenos aires. There is something different to do every day. The food is great and the nightlife is fantastic. The landlord is kind and he made sure that we had everything we needed. We plan to visit this city again on our next trip to argentina.

'Plechelmus basilica' in the centre of town. It really dominates the skyline of Oldenzaal. It doesn't matter from which side you enter Oldenzaal, this is probably the first thing you will see. You can visit the Basilica and the tower in Juni, Juli and August : The tower on Wednesdays at 14:00 and the Basilica on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 14:00 - 16:00
Palthehuis museum. this museum...
Palthehuis museum. this museum is in the former home and coach-house of the Palthe family.
In this museum you can see 18th and 19th century interiors, kitchens and toys. A 19th century medicine chest and the history of Oldenzaal.
The museum is open ;
Tuesday to Friday : 10:00-17:00
Saturday and Sunday : 14:00 - 17:00
Mechorius huis. This house,...
Mechorius huis. This house, which is opposite the Palthe museum, is from the second half of the 17th century. Dr. Michorius lived in this house from 1799-1869. He was a doctor in Oldenzaal in a turbulant time concerning hygiene. He fought against the typhoid- and cholera epidemics. One of the things he did was to try to get the canals in the city filled up and to get the damp manure hills, that were next to the houses, removed.
This city pump was in 1862...
This city pump was in 1862 given by the bischop of Curacao to Oldenzaal, which was his native town.After the water-works were build in the beginning of this century the city pump was removed. But in 1981 the pump they decided to rebuild it again.
Carnival : Wow, the whole town...
Carnival : Wow, the whole town turns into one big party during the carnival. And that is not for just one day, it starts on a Thursday and goes on until the next Tuesday. Everyone wears silly clothes, and goes to the pub or anywhere else where there is a party.
In Oldenzaal there is a big parade on the Sunday. About a 100.000 people visit our little town and help us celebrate. On the Monday there is the childrens parade and on Tuesday evening they close the carnival celebrations on the town square with 'bokverbranden'. It is a tradition that varies from town to town, but in Oldenzaal they burn a goat of wood and have beautiful fireworks after that.
Another statue that has...
Another statue that has everything to do with the carnival. The carnival is very a big happening in this little town. But not only during the carnival it is party time here. There are a lot of more events going on. The major event is called 'The Boeskool' and is held every year in August. Live bands are playing on the market square a couple of days in a row. The terraces are fully packed with people and the atmosphere is great.
You have to come to Oldenzaal...
You have to come to Oldenzaal on a beautiful sunny day, that is absolutely the best time to visit. You really should take some time to have a beer on one of the terraces on the marketsquare; the atmospere is always fantastic! Just sitting very relaxed on the terrace, enjoying the sun, having a drink, watching people walk by.... hmmm, I could sit here for hours :-)
If you want more information...
If you want more information on Oldenzaal or for instance are looking for maps of the region, information on the city walk or the hiking and cycle paths, don't forget to pay a visit to the local tourist office. The tourist office is the VVV / ANWB, and you can find opposite the big church in Oldenzaal. The address is St.Plechelmusplein 5. Telephone number : 0541-541023.

Tour around the countryside....
Tour around the countryside. This is a route that you can take by car : the Sagenland route. It brings you to the most picturesque places in the area.But I would recommend to take a bike and explore the area. There are a lot of cycle paths and routes in the area that take will take you through the woods, the pastures and small and picturesque villages. You can find a lot of information about bicycle routes around Oldenzaal on this website (in Dutch) : bicycle routes around Oldenzaal. You can get maps of these bicycle routes at the tourist office in Oldenzaal.
This is a close up of one of...
This is a close up of one of the walls of the Basilica. These scraches have always fascinated me. You can find these scratches in the wall on a hight of 50 centimeters to about 2 meters, and there are quite a few of them all along the side. The basilica is made of Bentheimer sandstone and this material is quite soft, so it is not strange that they were able to scratch it this way. But I wonder why and how these scatches were made. So if anyone has the answer, please tell me, I would love to know.
There have been other churches...
There have been other churches on this spot, but in 1180 they were replaced by this basilica built from Bentheimer sandstone. The tower is from 1240 and the carillon is from 1930 and has no less than 46 clocks!
Oldenzaal's Museums
The town has a trio of little museums showcasing different aspects of its history and culture. These are located on the two streets (Marktstraat and Hofmeijerstraat) on the north side of the square around the basilica.
The Palthe-Huis is a former merchant's home restored with the richly onrnate furnishings and fittings of the period and a couple of galleries of exhibits - www.palthehuis.nl
The Museum de Hofnar is the town's carnival museum.
The Museum de Pelgrim features aspects of the town's religous culture - www.museumdepelgrim.nl
I never did make the time for a visit to these as the weather was just too good for indoor stuff. They look interesting for a rainy day thing to do though.

If You're Not Old Enough For The Pub!
This little ice-cream parlour on Bischopstraat was doing a roaring trade with the local youngsters every night I was here. Just before it is a little mini-square with benches and low walls for them to congregate and it really was a pleasure to see them enjoying the simple things in life, unlike back here in the UK where the teenagers just seem to hang around corners smoking and looking bored.

The English Garden
The English Garden is a hidden part of Oldenzaal at the South East side of town, just North of the railroad. It's a different name for the "De Haer" park, located on a hill South of the Tankenberg (which is much higher) founded by Gelderman. One of his sons married an British lady and to avoid homesickness she ordered an English garden to be made.
Garden archtect Springer designed a 9 hectares big the Park Kalheupink, what was called the English Garden by the locals.

This Arab palace-fortress was built in the 11th century by King Badis of Granada. It is perfectly adapted to the contours of the land, and takes maximum advantage of the elevation of a hill. It is made up of two concentric spaces: the outside part is on the lower level, and the inner part houses the palace.

Couple deny arson chargeMay 21,2013Couple deny arson charge
A Fair Haven couple charged with torching their car dealership denied a pair of arson charges brought against them.
Edward David, 50, and his wife Tammy, 46, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to felony charges of second-degree arson.
They were released on minimal court-ordered conditions after the hearing.
The pair allegedly lit a fire that destroyed their dealership on the evening of March 17.
A Vermont State Police investigation into the fire revealed that the couple left the building minutes before the fire started and that they are more than $1.1 million in debt including delinquent property taxes in the amount of $7,000 owed in Castleton and $21,000 in delinquent taxes owed in Fair Haven.MORE IN This Just In
