Close walk to everything. And hidden perfectly away from all the noise too. So a must stayAdrian2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
Miguel was very good at communication for all transportation details from border crossing at TJ to meeting us in Rosarito. He met us and even took us to the grocery store before checking in. We could text him with little questions that came up, and he handled everything promptly. The place is older construction, but very tidy and well maintained with constant attention from Miguel. The courtyard is a lovely respite with fountain, flowers and two citrus trees. Very handy little convenience store and a bakery are at the nearest corner. It is a short stroll down a quiet street to the main drag with everything, and the beach just beyond. Nice little place from which to explore Rosarito and nearby Baja, from a close-in neighborhood instead of one of the hotels on the strip.Jim and Stefania2017-05-06T00:00:00Z
Miguel is a very mindful host. Right after I booked the place he called me and gave me extensive directions and tips about getting to the apartment. Miguel's place is located three squares away from the main street of Rosarito, sheltering travelers from the noise of the nightlife and cars. The place is good for two people, however in my opinion the sofa is too small to accommodate two more adults. This place is perfect for families with children, as well as, groups of friends. Everything is provided as described and shown on pictures. If you want to visit Rosarito I definitely recommend staying with Miguel.Alan2016-06-27T00:00:00Z
Miguel was very welcoming upon arrival, gave us great suggestions and advice about the area. The best quality of this place aside from the host was the location, it's walking distance to night life and the beach. Over a great stay.evelyn2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
My friends and I had a blast staying at Don Miguel's house. Don Miguel was very attentive and accommodating. He went out if his way to do things for us. The house was located near the beach and the night life. It was perfect! We had an awesome time getting to know Don Miguel and his family. It was the best decision we could have made.Guadalupe2016-08-15T00:00:00Z
Miguel is an amazing person, trustworthy and very helpful through out our whole trip! If your on the fence about this place do it! It's an amazing and clean place with alot of privacy and security! We will definitely be staying here again. Thanks again Miguel!Erik2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
Miguel was warm and attentive. We had a very nice stay.Keith2017-04-24T00:00:00Z
Miguel was an amazing host. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and any information for getting around town and back to the property. Highly recommend staying here!Ryan2016-09-30T00:00:00Z

Vicky, and Jim were amazing hosts!. I stayed for 2 days for my birthday, and totally recommend staying at this location. Vicky made me, and my friends at home, and was so accomadating. She gave us great recommendations to where to eat, drink, and even called us a taxi back home. Having the beach a few feet away, hanging out on the patio with the fire going at night was the highlight of my trip. Thank you!. :DOmar2016-07-11T00:00:00Z
Vicky and Jim were quick to respond to my last minute request. Myself and two friends were returning from Ensenada after enjoying the weekend and decided that we did not want it to end. A quick visit to Air BnB and I came across Vicky and Jim's place in Rosarito. Vicky and Jim were quick to respond and directed us to their home which is just next door. They made sure that we had everything we needed, even some beers ready for us in the fridge. This place is amazing for several reasons. The distance to the beach...what distance? You are on the beach! You can also walk to the center of Rosarito via the beach or through town. You are not going to beat the location or your access to the beach. Vicky and Jim were very friendly and made sure we had everything to have a cozy fire on the patio while we played music. They even offered me boogie board when I cam back from my morning walk. Again, great hosts, amazing beach access and location, location, location. Thank you Vicky and Jim! We will be back again.Christian 2016-08-02T00:00:00Z
Vicki is a great host. Quick to respond and her place is right on the beach. Not to mention a pretty good surf spot. Dogs can roam around and such an escape !Amanda2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
The place was great, just as described. It was just 2 of us but could've easily fit another couple or two comfortably. Clean, close to everything, right on the beach, and awesome hosts! Next time we head down, going to try to stay at Jim & Vicky's again.Richard2016-05-30T00:00:00Z
This was our second time staying at Vicky and Jim's place. They were just as nice and the place was just as relaxing as the first. This time we brought my wife's parents and brother along with us. With two pull out couches, there ended up being plenty of room for all five of us. We can't wait to come back!Jeff2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
AMAZING! you can not beat being in the sand, just open your doors and the beach is yours! Place was very clean and comfortable and both host and caretaker were amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Quentin2017-03-12T00:00:00Z
Had an amazing time at Vicky & Jim's place. None of us had been to Mexico before and did not know what to expect. We were made to feel right at home and comfortable during our stay. Vicky & Jim have a place right next to the rental property and although they were not in Rosarito during our stay, their relatives Nora & Miguel were home next door. Nora and Miguel were AMAZING, they made us feel like family and gave great advice on places to eat, drink and enjoy ourselves. Them being next door did not infringe on our privacy at all either. They let us know we could stay up as late as we wanted and left us alone to enjoy our time. BUT if we needed anything at all they were right there to help! As for the place itself - it is situated right on the beach with a beautiful view. It can accommodate up to 6 people, but it would be a little cozy - nothing bad, just a little cozy. There is a nice back porch facing the ocean, with a fireplace and plenty of firewood. As for the location: it is about a 10 minute walk to Papas and beer and a 5 minute walk to a few restaurants. All in all, it was such an amazing location with even more amazing hosts. We will definitely be back! Thank you Vicky, Jim, Nora and Miguel!!!Danielle2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay at, property is located in a great location. Walking distance everywhere. And the host were great, plan to stay again. Thank you!!!Juan2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

Really good place, confortable and cozy. The host is really kind and sympathetic person. I will book it again for sure. I recommend this place,Miloud2017-02-13T00:00:00Z
Christy and David were very welcoming. They were attentive, and quick to offer up great suggestions for local dining. We ended up staying in Villa 1 (one bedroom). The rental was clean, and had most everything one could need. The property is not walking distance to the water or the main boulevard, but it was a very short drive. Taxis were quick to arrive and inexpensive. We did have a little rental car, and it was nice to have a remote control for the garage. We stayed the week between Christmas & New Years. It is a cold time of year. We were happy to have a great view of the water...and the New Years Eve fireworks down at the beach.Katie2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
Really nice place! Bit of a walk to the main area and beach but not that bad :)Jazmin2017-01-11T00:00:00Z
Super cute place, with lovely rooms! The structure (including the garage for our cars) felt Very safe & secure, with a huge metal sliding gate / garage door. The host & hostess were absolutely FABULOUS!! They really went above & beyond to make sure we had a great stay. We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area, and would absolutely recommend it :)Ryan2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
I rarely fill these out, but I would of felt guilty if I did not with the personal care we got from Christy! We loved the cleanliness and the practical lay out with a bathroom sink conveniently located just outside the bathroom plus a couple of mirrors to make it easier when a few are trying to get ready at once. The view from the terrace was an unexpected bonus to enjoy when the sun goes down with the islands in the distance. Although the location is challenging to get to, you don't have to worry since Christy will rescue you. She is so responsive that I honestly don't know how she does it. She graciously allowed us to check in earlier plus I had a last minute addition with my daughter staying and she immediately brought the extra bedding. I would highly recommend this place because it's such a good value, but Christy is I'm sure the big reason why people keep coming back!Dianne2017-01-30T00:00:00Z
Christy's villa is cozy and comfy. You feel like you are part of the family. Privacy is really respected, but it is nice to get to know each other too. The space was spacious and met our needs. We love coming back to Christy's villa's. They are all nice and offer something different in each villa. The location is close to central Rosarito and easy to navigate. I love the secure parking. This was a second stay here and we will be back.Laurie Soto 2017-01-07T00:00:00Z
Great time and stay!!!Kenyan2016-12-25T00:00:00Z
Christy is a great host. She's easily accessible if you have a question, want to make changes/additions to your stay, and very helpful. Pictures do not do justice to how spacious the studio really is. Everything was clean and exceeded our expectations. Not to mention only 10 minutes from all the clubs. Don't pass this place up!Gabriel2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

The condo was really nice and clean, very spacious. Great location. Did not get a chance to try the pool the weather was chilly. But from what we saw it look really nice. Great view. Fahad was very helpful n responded promptly. We're definitely renting this condo again.Juliana 2016-03-23T00:00:00Z
On a last minute getaway we decided to go to Rosarito Mexico. We looked for some rooms but were too expensive for the location and wasn't worth it then we went on this app and we received more than what we expected. It was just my woman and I came to find out Fahad has an amazing Condo with 2 bedrooms two bathrooms and a well equipped and kept kitchen and living room. The view was perfect overlooking the ocean and courtyard. Best part was The main bedroom as you wake up and see the ocean from bed. There is 24hr security at the location so we felt safe and so was my car . We had a key to direct access to the beach and the location is less than half a mile from clubs , restaurants and sporting activities. As for the host well you won't find one better he is quick to reply and very professional he has a designated person in charge of keeping the customer happy thank you again we enjoyed our 4 day 3 night stay we will definitely come back again !!!Manny2016-04-02T00:00:00Z
We had an awesome time. condo had great panoramic views it was clean and Fahad had great communication with me throughout my stay thumps Up!! I will recommend this to anyone ☺Cynthia 2016-03-16T00:00:00Z
First time using Airbnb and the whole experience went smoothly. The host provided good information before hand and was very accessible if we had any questions. The unit was clean and nicely located in the complex with walking distance to shops and nightlife. Had excellent view of the beach and loved waking up to the sound of the ocean. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again.Lorraine 2016-10-22T00:00:00Z
The condo is beautiful and spacious, located on the beach. It's a little further from the main clubs in Rosarito, but it's a manageable walk. Our trip was mostly spent at Papas and Beer or the Rosarito Hotel, and although it was a little more of a walk to get back to the condo, it was nice to be a little further from the club music that last until 4 AM. Also, Fahad was very attentive and accommodating; he was always available to answer any of my texts/calls. I would definitely book another trip here over the hotels in Rosarito!Johnie2016-01-11T00:00:00Z
Great place! Definitively enjoyed our stay here and will look into booking here again next time I'm in Rosarito!Edgar2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
We loved the view of the ocean. We slept well (comfortable bed) and had a relaxing night staying here. I would definitely stay here again.Wesley2016-10-23T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay close to Rosarito center and the beach!!! Comfortably accommodated 6 of us. The unit itself is comparable in condition and amenities to others in the area. The grounds were VERY nice (pools, hottub, grill). Would definitely consider staying here again.Patrick2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

This is our second time staying at Beth's wonderful beach front house. After getting married in Ensenada, we began our mini honey moon here. This place is always clean, neat, and everything works. Beth is a great communicator who always gets back to me quickly. This best part of this place is location, location, location. You are ON the beach and can walk to any place worth getting grub or a local craft beer. My wife and I wouldn't stay anywhere else.Christian 2016-10-12T00:00:00Z
Great place. Great location. Friendly neighbors and a wonderful overall time! Would definitely come back next time the opportunity arises!Daniel2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
Beth was really nice! Definitely was not disappointed with my first use of AirbnbJosh2016-06-27T00:00:00Z
All good! ~thanks, RickRick2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
This place is absolute perfection. I can't imagine coming to Baja and staying anywhere but Beth's adorable little casita. The house is right on the sand and if that is not enough, it is super clean, hip and perfect for a couples getaway. We were close enough to town that we found ourselves just walking to everything either along the waters edge of along the main road. Beth was super sweet and answered any questions I had right away. The area felt very secure and the neighbors were courteous and friendly.Alexandra2015-06-27T00:00:00Z
We stayed two nights at this wonderful tiny beach house. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Beth was very responsive and helpful. Getting to the house from the border was a breeze. The beach is beautiful. Friendly neighbors. Very good restaurants within walking distance. Safe. Just go!Aaron2015-08-20T00:00:00Z
Beth's place was wonderful. Everything was clean and the bed was a dream to sleep in. The house is located near all the restaurants, bars, and shops. It was nice to be able to walk everywhere. The beach wad great and we really enjoyed watching the sunset from the outdoor loft. Thanks for a great stay Beth!Briana2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
Beth was an amazing host! She provided us with good directions to her place and was very easy to get a hold of. The place was great and very clean. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anybody who wanted to stay in Rosarito.Erin2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

To begin the place says apartment but feels more like a small house. Plenty of private parking available and the house had everything you would expect from a hotel and some!! Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. What really made this space was the amazing hosts! Always responded promptly and the brother Alex was always right next door to answer any questions. He even brought us bottled water to make sure we had clean water (really helpful after a night of rosarito night life) and to make sure everything was working properly. I will defenitely come back here when i visit Rosarito.Andres2017-05-12T00:00:00Z
Great place! Easy check in good reliable wifi! Walking distance to all the bars and restaurants!Brady2016-12-12T00:00:00Z
Everything was great just to sleep in.Veronica2016-12-04T00:00:00Z
Octavio and his brother Alex were great. The place was really nice, safe and the location was great. Great wifi. Clean. Easy parking. I even had an emergency back home where I had to leave early and octavio was generous enough to help me out be refunding money even when he didn't have too. Very kind of him. Totally recommend his place. Will definitely visit another time.Jake2016-12-26T00:00:00Z
Octavio was a great host! He replied right away. His brother Alex made the check in so easy. Even though we got lost we called Alex and he guided us to get the place. Walking distance to the main boulevard but you hear none of the noise. Perfect location! Definitely would choose this home again! Totally recommend Octavio's location.Natalie2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
I am very pleased with my stay at Octavio's place. It is exactly how it looks in the pictures. The beds were comfortable and we even had wifi. He was quick to answer any questions I had too. I would stay here again.Briana2016-10-02T00:00:00Z
Octavio's lovely stay was very clean and is at the perfect location. Minutes from the shore and Papas and Beer. He gave us our privacy and very respectful. We're able to keep out car in the gated home. Great place!Kathreen 2016-10-29T00:00:00Z
Octavios place is perfect for a small group or couple who wants to be close to the action in Rosarito, but doesn't want to sleep in it. Its a 10 min walk from the area where all the clubs are. It was great having a quiet place to retreat to after the craziness of the bars. The apt is very cozy and safe. There is a gate with inside parking so you dont have to park on the street. I am definitely going to check the availability of this place the next time I am in town.Orlando2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Patricia was very nice and her house was adorable. It's located in a quite neighborhood and central to a lot of things. On the second day of arrival she came to greet us and informed us to all the fascinating entertainment around. She even connected us with taxis and her favorite places to eat in town ( I highly recommend Tacos Manuel). If your planing to stay in Rosarito I highly recommend Patricia's home, it's spacious, clean and perfect for a couple or for 3,Jose2013-12-30T00:00:00Z
Patricia was fantastic! Her place is also the nicest you'll find in the area. I came to find out she's been building it for 5 years, putting in a lot of effort, apparently. She happened to be in Chula Vista when I was driving down and met me there and we caravanned down. This ended up working well since it was my first time driving into Mexico. I was greeted with wine and chocolates upon arrival. Down the street is a wonderful restaurant owned by a man named Huicho, some of the best food I've had. There was just about nothing to complain about here, great spot, very secure, unbeatable price, and better company. Thanks Patricia! -CharlieCharlie2013-07-17T00:00:00Z
Patricia did great with communication and making us feel safe! Location was close to all locations we wanted to go to for the spring break weekend. She was so nice and so welcoming we even invited her to our basketball game that we came down to Rosarito to play in and she came to support. Was an amazing time staying in her home for our first time in Rosarito. Definitely will be back again!Dana2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
We went down for Labor Day Weekend and our stay wirh Patricia was amazing!!!!! She was soo friendly, welcoming, and understanding. At the last minute people decided to join our trip and she was completely understanding. She went out of her way to ensure that we had the best stay possible. We really appreciate everything she did for us. It was by far the greatest stay we have had. Without a doubt we would stay again with Patricia. She was soo welcoming when we arrived, we werer greeted with a warm hug, smile, a bottle of wine, and some treats for our weekend. Thank you again Patricia. Your apartment was stunning yet felt so homey, like if I was in my own home. I recommend stay with Patricia.Joseline2013-09-06T00:00:00Z
Just as advertised and previously reviewed. Place was great. We appreciated a bottle of wine and a few extras that were there, a really nice touch. Both the couch and the bed were comfortable.John2014-10-25T00:00:00Z
My husband & I celebrated our anniversary at Patricia's place. This was our first experience with Airbnb and our first time vacationing in Mexico. Patricia is as sweet and joyous as her picture shows. She is very delightful and was VERY hospitable. She had wine & cookies ready for us upon arrival and after showing us the place, she offered us a personal tour of the neighborhood. She recommended several places to eat and we learned that she has very nice & supportive neighbors. Her place is very neat & clean and nicely put together. And her place smelled amazing the whole 7 days we were there! Everything is close by and the beach is walking distance. The neighborhood is nice & quiet and all the neighbors are very friendly as well. Patricia definitely made us feel comfortable from the start and she met all of our needs in a timely manner. Adrian, her maintenance guy was also really friendly & helpful. We definitely recommend her and look forward to staying there again in the future! Thank you Patricia!!!Jenica2015-11-28T00:00:00Z
Everything about my stay at Patricias house was perfect! The area was safe, I had no issues, Very clean, with amenities and great hospitality. Patricia treated myself and my girlfriend like family! She even took us out for drinks and Karaoke!!! In short .. I can't wait to visit again!!Michael2015-09-09T00:00:00Z
My wife and I recently spent a month in Patricia's apartment with our 6-year-old son and everything was perfect. The apartment is nicer than it appears in the pictures with good quality furniture and tasteful artwork throughout. It was very clean, in a safe neighborhood and walking distance to the beach, grocery, restaurants and downtown area. There were a few pleasant surprises that I didn't see in the pictures. First, the bedroom is larger than I thought with a twin-size trundle bed at one end. There is an enclosed garage. And there are stairs leading up to the flat rooftop making it ideal for sunbathing or drinking coffee and looking out at the ocean. Patricia was very easy to deal with and responsive to all of our questions. She was attentive without being intrusive and is a real sweetheart. My normally reserved son fell in love with her as did my wife and I. You won't regret spending time with her or staying in her apartment.Robert2016-04-01T00:00:00Z

I brought my boyfriend for a mid week beach trip to Rosarito. Staying with Dorothy was more than great. The location of the rental is perfect. Its right next to the water, gated and secured, and had an excellent restaurant/bar on site with some of the nicest servers. We drove, and she let us park in her carport which put my mind at ease. Dorothy made sure we had all of our questions answered and that we made ourselves at home. She really was the sweetest and we will be back very soon! Thank you again, Dorothy!Tayler2015-10-17T00:00:00Z
We love Dorothy! As soon as we walked in the door, we knew we picked the right place. Dorothy asked all of our names and greeted us with a BIG HUG. Her B&B was perfect for us and our two children. We loved the fact that they have a private entrance to the beach and it was breath taking. The property has 24 hr security, that was a big plus. We can't wait to go back and stay with Dorothy again, we felt comfortable like if we were home.Fidel2016-03-31T00:00:00Z
Dorothy was a wonderful host and her home was great, in a safe location and right next to the beach. We all had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone. Thank you!Raphael2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
This is false advertisement to say the lease on Airbnb this location is listed as entire home two bedroom two bath with amenities such as Wi-Fi etc. this place is anything but that and I don't blam the host she is a older lady who is very nice but clearly doesn't understand how hosting on airbnb works. Again I am tempted to rent an entire home instead I have a rule any second room with a couch and a small TV. With no access to the stove or the living room TV and also the host is staying in the room next to me which is again Foss advertisement it is the job of Airbnb to make sure there host fully understand the expectation of travelers when they intend on renting an entire home an private room or shared room that host should know The difference this is absolutely ruined my trip and but again this is not a referendum on the host who is very nice but she just asked me and my friend if we can go to the back so she can watch TV this is absolutely unacceptable I should not have to pay for this.Travis2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
Dorothy was an absolute delight. My friends and I came down for a night in rosarito and she had lots of great tips about the area and transportation. She was very hospitable and she keeps to herself and lets you be. The area is gated with security and very secure as well as being close to the beach and many other surrounding attractions! Will definitely be returning and thanks again Dorothy.Megan2016-08-14T00:00:00Z
Great, thank you Dorothy.Austin2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
Dorothy is so nice and talkative. She was very welcoming and treated me and my friends like Kings. She took care of us and gave us some very good advice. Very nice and clean place to stay along with a great beach view. I am definitely going to stay at her place again next time I return to Rosarito.Jay2016-04-05T00:00:00Z

Marilyn was a great host, very friendly and helpful. She prepared very good appetizers, breakfast and fruit. She helped us in many ways and gave us useful suggestions on what to do around! The house has a private parking too. Great choice.Simone2016-03-28T00:00:00Z
Mariyln and Mary was a sweetheart, made us breakfast (eggs, coffee, fresh juice, and fruits). She was very accommodating with our arrival and departure time. Communication is superior and couldn't ask for better! Bed is full size with alot of pillows. Room has a fan to keep us cool. Bathroom is small, but adequate and shower space was big. Wifi was working. She provided ample towels for us to use! Watch for a big street bump at entrance of street as you enter to her street.thuy2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Marilyn, was a great host she offered to make freshly squeezed juice and coffee in the mornings. She also gave us some ideas on places to try in the area.Tim2016-07-17T00:00:00Z
I loved staying with Marilyn. Her house is beautiful!! She is very helpful with getting around town. She gave us a lot of tips and even helped us find someone to help with car problems. I would definitely recommend Marilyn to stay at for the time in Rosarito.Liz2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
We had an great time in Rosarito. There was cheap food, the beach was a 5 minute walk away, and the weather was great. On the beach we read, drank from coconuts, and rode horses. Marilyn had great advice for places to visit. Highly recommend!Nick2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
I had a wonderful weekend at Marilyn's home. She was a great host and even invited me to some awesome tuna casserole. Would definitely go back.Gabriela2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
Marilyn was such a wonderful host to my girlfriend and I! Her home is so beautiful with very interesting art and books and contact with local talent. Every morning she looked after us to have fresh fruit, coffee or juice for breakfast. She had gated parking for us and we felt very safe in her neighborhood. We also had hours and hours of so very interesting conversations. The work she does is so full of passion and she knows so many wonderful people. We arrived to Rosarito one weekend and she was able to accommodate us last minute and we couldn't be more grateful to her. My girlfriend had a recent back injury and it got worse after we went to the beach where there was a cold breeze. Marilyn was so amazing to us by connecting us with Ix Chel who is an expert in natural and herbal medicine who was able to help us both spiritually and physically. I cannot say enough great things of our experience with Marilyn and we hope you will too. We love you Marilyn!Jair2016-08-09T00:00:00Z
I had the most wonderful experience staying at Marilyn's for a weekend in Rosarito. It is not only that the the house is extremely clean and comfortable, but Marilyn herself is an extraordinary and warm host. She will make any visitor feel most welcome in Rosarito. One of the highlights about staying here is that Marilyn has all the connections to the local art scene, to make sure that you have an interesting stay. I strongly recommend Casa bal Mar!Jeremy2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay, super safe for the family. Place just need a lil update . perfect view.rene 2017-04-10T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Zarina2017-03-11T00:00:00Z

Great Place, great view, everything was as described, we hope to be back soonLalo2017-01-02T00:00:00Z
Check in was easy! Room was tidy and view from balcony was great! Just a few steps from the beach. Located on second floor in a quieter area of La Paloma! Definitely one of the safest locations in Rosarito. No heater in December was a little rough but manageable. Must bring your own necessities such as towels, kitchen towels, hand soap, paper towels, napkins, etc.Rocio2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

Checking in was a bit of a hassle. The guards that patrol the grounds are a bit mean. The place was very nice. Awesome art work. The down side was lack of clarity in instructions regarding the pass to enter grounds and the bed sheets were stained with blood.Joseph2015-06-08T00:00:00Z
LA Paloma is a great complex at the beach with nice facilities (pool tennis court etc etc). Its close from Downtown rosarito but far enough to not be bothered by clubs music. The unit is nice. Everything you need is available : bbq, blender, lots of towels, soap shampoo etc. Galdino contacted us right away and sent detailed instructions to find the place. A very nice sunny weekend in rosarito!Brandon2015-02-15T00:00:00Z
We had the best time!!!! The grounds are very clean, security checks daily they know who suppose to be there and not. If you leave for the day they check when you come back they check. This alone made me feel safe. As for the inside the place was very clean down to bedroom linens, towels, etc. The place has everything you need blender, bbq and charcoal, dish soap, towels extra spices that I think were left from previous vacationers. etc. Additional feedback the private beach was clean and there was no none trying to sell you merchandise. Taxi is super cheap if you don't want to drive I think $3.00. Just over all the place is beautiful and the room very clean. Galindo was very communicative with all our questions. We are deft coming back for our anniversary. Oh and most of the people who were visiting owns property so they are very nice and respectful. We met so many nice people. Anyhow do yourself a favor stay here!Diane2015-04-14T00:00:00Z
Good morning Galindo, I just wanted to thank you so much for opening your home to me at La Paloma. It was a relaxing weekend and the list you provided was perfect and so was the staff. Looking forward to coming back again and hope you have a great dayGeorge2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
Galdino was extremely accommodating throughout the whole process. We were in a huge bind and he was able to respond and get us in within the hour! Once we were there Galdino helped us with all of our questions and concerns. The place itself was very nice and cozy. The pool and hot tub were heated. Security was roaming around the whole time so felt very safe. Parking isn't a problem either. All in all, very good experience.jessop2015-01-01T00:00:00Z
Galdino's place was great. Our party had a total of 4 people and we were all able to sleep comfortably. He was very prompt to respond to our initial request and emailed us with a very detailed document of instructions for our arrival and departure. He have us plenty of suggestions of popular restaurants and places to explore, and even left us 3 bottles of wine to enjoy in case we wanted any. The unit was fully stocked with towels, blankets, pillows, cleaning supplies, and there is even a shampoo/ conditioner dispenser in the shower. There was also all the kitchenware and appliances you could need, small BBQ grill, ironing board and iron etc. The complex itself was great-- 4 pools and jacuzzis, tennis courts, gym, pool tables, and just a minute from the beach. Loved staying in Rosarito at La Paloma. If you go I'd also recommend a day trip down to Ensenada as well. The drive over is beautiful.Sabeeha2015-05-02T00:00:00Z
We loved the apartment complex, beautifully groomed and very well located right on Rosarito beach, walking distance from activities in front of the Rosarito beach hotel. We had a great time there, thanks so much Galdino!Guillaume2014-11-30T00:00:00Z
It was my second time at this condo. And I am absolutely positive that I will stay there again. Love this nice cottage, the easy access to the beach and the sound of the ocean at night. Thank you for letting us spend relaxing weekend at La PalomaOlga2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

Five of my friends and I stayed here for spring break weekend and it couldn't have been better. It was very spacious and clean. It's also close enough to the beaches and nightlife to get there in 5 minutes but it's also far enough away that you aren't bothered by any loudness. Juan was great with communication, he even greeted us with a very good wine! Also it was such an affordable price! We will definitely be staying here againMonique2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
The house is nice. I loved the Mexican rustic feel of the house. Plenty of sleeping areas. Only downside to the house is the Unpaved road. The house is located up a hill and in an area that is underdeveloped..construction under way (noise form Construction wasn't a problem since we spent most of the time in town). Drive to main part of rosarito is about 3-4 minutes. Juan and his wife live in a back area of the property but after the first arriving and meeting, We didn't see them much after that..we had our privacy. House has everything that you may need if you plan to cook.Carina 2017-04-22T00:00:00Z
The house is very nice and spacious. Garage for the car kept great peace of mind, very clean and taken care of home. Juan was friendly and responsive. Uber rides are about 5 minutes from all the clubs and bars and run cheap. Great stay!carlos2017-05-21T00:00:00Z
The bottom floor is the garage. As soon as Juan opened the garage it was very appealing. The garage is very spacious. Unloading was not a problem. We had speakers tables and even a portable firepit that we left in the garage. Once going up stairs you find your self in a clean and very cozy space. It not only has comfortable beds, but it has couches; Comfortable to rest or sleep in. Communication with Juan is very easy going. He walks you through the house and explains where everything is. We all liked how he communicated with notes in case he steped out of the house. We loved how his wife and him received us. They gave us some chicharones, salsa, and drinks. We did not have any troubles with appliances. This house literally has anything you can think of. It even has a bicycle and helmet in case you need to go to the main road to get something from the store. The main paved road is 3 blocks away. They also left us Drinking water, in water bottles and 5 gallon carboy. Hot water for showering was amazing after having a long day, and they also have shampoo and soap if you forget to bring your own. We all plan to stay in the same house if we ever go gain.Juan2017-03-26T00:00:00Z
Juan was an excellent host he was very welcoming! Whenever my family and I needed anything what so ever, he was in close contact with us via text or phone call. My family and I loved staying at his place! It is very gorgeous. My family and I stayed for 10 days, and we would definitely love to stay here again if we are ever in Rosarito. I would definitely recommend Juan's house. My family and I have zero complaints on our stay here. His house has everything we needed for our 10 day stay here. We were close to the beach, as well as the night life but far enough so that we weren't disturbed when we were sleeping. Once again, we loved our stay here, and would definitely recommend it to anyone else.Kiara2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
5 stars for Juan Francisco and his casita. This was our first time using Airbnb and we had many questions prior to reserving. He answered all of our questions promptly and he made me feel at ease. We had a late arrival and were pretty lost, Juan's wife came to find us. That was really nice of them. The host lives in adjacent property so we felt safe. The neighborhood is private and close to all activities. The home is very clean, you can tell that they prepared the home for our visit. It is small but spacious. Had all amenities, our guests were enchanted with the place. I will definitely recommend this home and the host.Maria2017-05-02T00:00:00Z
Beautiful quiet home with incredible host! Communication with Juan was awesome. Can't wait to come back!Elver2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Lizzie is very helpful and responds to messages promptly. The profile online describes the house and location accurately. Lizzie was away from the location when we first arrived, so her neighbor met us and made sure we got settled into the place. A great experience and we'll be coming back soon!Tim2015-09-09T00:00:00Z
Lizzie is a brilliant host and she introduced us to her community. The beach hut is literally on the beach.Cab2015-08-04T00:00:00Z
Lizzie was very accommodating. She accepted my request on very short notice and followed up with detailed directions to the house. I would highly recommend staying at her property. Thanks Lizzie!Jason2015-06-19T00:00:00Z
We loved Lizzie's cozy beach pad! It is literally right on the beach, we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean waves. The bed was super comfy! All the little toiletries were very nice too. Check-in was a breezy and Lizzie was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely come back.Andrea2016-06-13T00:00:00Z
Excellent location, lovely view and safe to park my car there. Could be cleaner, but given that's it literally on the beach, I can't complain :) Follow Lizzie's directions because I got lost with my map app haha. Lizzie was really helpful overall and I would stay at her casita again!Amy2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
It was a great little spot for a perfect vacation in Rosarito. Central and walk able to food and entertainment maybe a 5 minute taxi ride to the main bars. Had a great time and if or when I go back I would rent here again.Matthew2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
A shack on the beach. Great location. Front door opens to the beach. A five minute walk on the beach leads to all the restaurants and bars, horse riding and everything rosarito has to offer. Lizzie welcomed us with some margaritas ;) very welcoming and accommodating host. Thank you LizzieNanda2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

This spot is in the perfect location, walking distance to downtown. The view from the bedroom balcony is beautiful, reminding you that you are just a short walk from the beach. Parking is secure, with a security guard standing watch at the entrance to the parking lot. Wes is very friendly and Beyoncé, his golden retriever, is very sweet. Thank you, Wes and Beyoncé!Kelly2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
Wes was the definition of "super host". He was extremely communicative and worked to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The house is located a quick 20 minute walk from downtown, and has beach access, which was great. The room comes equipped with a mini fridge, and you also have access to anything you need in the kitchen if that's what you're looking for. Beyoncé was the sweetest! We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to the next time. Thanks so much, Wes!Ali2016-12-28T00:00:00Z
This was my first time ever using Airbnb and I am hooked. Wes was a gracious host in every way possible. Before my partner and I arrived he called us to see how things were going and was readily available with answers to all of our questions. His place is spacious, clean, in a safe neighborhood, and a stones throw from the beach! The complex has it's own Pool Club & Lounge called the BeachComber, super relaxing and great Sangria. It is also about a 5 minute walk from the bigger bars and clubs (Papas & Beer, etc). Wes was nice enough to even give my partner a ride back to San Diego! Attention to detail, lovely service and going above and beyond is something you see very little of now a days. We definitely recommend staying with Wes and his lovely dog, Beyonce! YOU WILL LOVE IT.Joseph2016-07-18T00:00:00Z
Wes was very Nice & Helpful , he made sure we were happy with our stay , he was just very helpful , and sweet. The house is nice and has everything you need , nice view on the balcony . It was a Great Place to spend our vacation there .Alexis2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Wes was extremely helpful in both giving us directions to his place from the border and suggesting great places to eat during our stay. The room is setup just as pictured and there is a nice view of the ocean from the patio. The condo is in a gated community under 24hr surveillance. Wes was very accommodating and a great host. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rosarito.Tim2016-03-21T00:00:00Z

This condo is far nicer than any place you'll find in Rosarito! Stylish, modern, and clean. The location is awesome, about 5 mins from Papa's and Beer by taxi. Great food and supermarket nearby, super convenient. I highly recommend!Mariah2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
J.C.'s condo was as seen in pictures and even more beautiful in person. I was highly impressed with all of the upgrades and lighting throughout the condo. The dim light settings in every room were a plus. It felt as if we were staying in a model home. Aside from all the beautiful upgrades in this place, it had all the necessities we needed and more. It was spacious and felt like a residential home. Beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and loved that the master bedroom had access to the balcony. The sound of the waves at night was so peaceful and calm. We drove down to The Beachcomber and enjoyed a nice horseback ride on the beach and then grabbed lunch at the Beachcomber restaurant while our kids went for a dip in the pool. We also enjoyed a Mariachi in the nice outdoor setting. Our stay here was definitely a memorable one and J.C. was a great host and always available to answer any questions we had and able to recommend great places for my family and I. This is honestly one of the nicer places you will probably be able to find in Rosarito at a very reasonable rate. Comfortable, spacious, newer-like, modern, breathtaking views and minutes away from the main attractions of Rosarito. We will definitely be staying here again!Karla2017-04-12T00:00:00Z
Area 51 is absolutely beautiful place to stay!! It is very clean and in a safe location. The host JC was extremely friendly and made us feel so welcoming. It is walking distance from Papas and Beer and the beach. Would definitely recommend staying here.Maritza2017-03-21T00:00:00Z

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Dear mjones,
Under the circumstances you would do better, in my opinion, to move on.
Your Girlfriend (GF), has deep seated issues that relate to her formidable years growing up, and her primary relationships during that time.
It takes more than a simple flip of the switch, so to speak, to fix this type of thing. It normally takes a significant emotional event, and follow up activities to work through the issues. A significant emotional event could be losing someone she really loves and cares about; and the follow up activities are therapeutic consultation with a relationship expert or psychotherapist or psychologist. (or similar).
If you continue in this relationship I expect that she will not be encouraged to change, and that at some level you have co-dependent type behaviors that enable her to continue in her behavior. People do not often like to hear that they may have behaviors that help the other person stay where they are,but it is a fact of life, in the realm of human behavior, that some personalities enable each other in different ways. In this situation, she habitually lies (or maybe even pathologically lies), and is unable to be faithful.
In my opinion, if you love yourself, and her, you will leave her. Tell her something like this:
You know how I feel about you; that I love you very much. However, I am not going to stand by in relationship with you and watch you go out with other guys; and I am not going to allow myself to be lied to. I am sorry, but I am no longer going to be in relationship with you.
AND mean it. Say it and mean it.
You will know if she is sincere about you if she gets the counseling she needs. That will show her sincerity. However you need to be prepared for a lengthy courtship AFTER therapy, if that is what she does, because permanent change is hard to detect. A minimum of year is needed, but in some people, you will not know if change of this type is truly permanent for up to 5 years.
If she loves you, truly, in stead of moving on to someone else to be her enabler, she will seek out the change and actions required for her to be with you. In the mean time, you should continue looking for a healthy person with whom to have a relationship. If she makes the changes, and you are still available, then perhaps you would be able to start over again together.
Look for a new partner who enhances your goodness and helps to make you a better person. You want that partner who will bring out the best in you. You want someone who does not have to be a project, who does not need fixing.

[Photo: Thousands of Bahrainis, mainly from the Shi'a majority, demonstrated near Manama Friday against what they described as "sectarian discrimination"]
Thousands of Bahrainis demonstrated near Manama Friday against sectarian discrimination targeting the majority Shia sect in the US-backed kingdom.
"No to discrimination," chanted protesters brandishing Bahrain's red-and-white flag as they marched along Budaiya main road, which links dozens of villages with the capital, witnesses said.
Ali Salman, chief cleric of the Wefaq Shia political party was among leaders of the opposition who participated, according to images the group posted online.
They carried posters of prominent opponents jailed over their roles in the anti-regime uprising of February 2011, including the Sunni head of the secular Waed party, Ibrahim Sharif, who is serving a five-year sentence.
"Sectarian discrimination is eating into the body of Bahrain in a systematic way applied by authorities," opposition groups said in a statement at the end of the demonstration, referring to the al-Khalifa dynasty which has ruled the country since 1783.
Bahrain's autocratic rulers have been accused by human rights activists of sowing sectarian tension in the country.
Dozens of Shia mosques have been demolished by authorities, while the regime bars Shias from holding important posts in government.
The protest was held on the occasion of the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

[via Cartoon Press]
SINGAPORE: Singapore's Acting Community Development, Youth and Sports Minister Chan Chun Sing has said that pay was not a factor for the team that forms the government.
He was fielding a question on political pay, in the first ministerial visit conducted since the general election in May.
While a dialogue session at Jurong Spring Community Club formed the crux of the visit, Mr Chan spent the better part of Sunday morning speaking to residents over breakfast, as well as visiting their homes to hear their concerns.
Some of these concerns included congestion and safety issues around Lakeside MRT station.
At the dialogue session, municipal issues were raised - such as creating recreational facilities for young people in the area. But concerns surrounding population, ministerial pay, as well as the integration of foreigners took centre stage.
On whether a possible pay cut in ministerial pay after the salary review would make ministers less motivated, Mr Chan related his own experience.
He said: "I don't think anyone of them comes here for the money. They come here to provide a better life for the next generation... One of the reasons why I stepped forward was because I know I'm joining a team of people that are not here for the money."
He added that the key is to find the right balance.
He said: "Money should not be the one (factor) to attract them in. On the other hand, money should also not be the bugbear to deter them.
"(For example,) you go to Peach Garden, you eat the S$10 XO Sauce chye tow kuay (fried carrot cake), you can be quite happy right? Because you are satisfied with the service and so on. On the other hand, you can go to a hawker centre, even if they charge you S$1.50, you might not want to eat it if the quality is not good." - [Chan Chun Sing]

On the issue of integrating foreigners, Mr Chan said the role of the community was crucial, and that the government had to balance the intake of foreigners with that of supporting a country that was facing a low fertility rate and an ageing population.
He said: "The government is very very aware of this challenge. We can bring in so many foreigners, but beyond a certain point, we cannot bring in foreigners because you need to assimilate them, and you need time to accept them, and they need time to adjust to you."
Mr Chan added that while the government has in place many ways of trying to support the process, such as through the work of the National Integration Committee, it is not enough.
He said the community needs to play a part too.
At the same time, he said it is crucial for Singaporeans to remember that most of them are also the descendants of foreigners.
Mr Chan added there are alternatives to maintaining population growth, by sustaining current levels. But to do that, three areas need to be satisfied - by increasing productivity, improving work processes and by retraining and upgrading skills of older workers - all of which, he said, have been tried and have met its own set of challenges.
Mr Chan also addressed concerns over the social ills of gambling.
He said a survey on the social fallout of gambling will be released in February.
And in light of an uncertain economic outlook, Mr Chan said his ministry will look into creative ways to help those affected by a possible downturn.
He said: "Regardless of which area, we know that this year, the economic outlook may not be so rosy, so from the MCYS and various other ministries, we will have in place contingency plans to make sure that should the downturn come about, we have in place measures to help those SIngaporeans who are really in need.
"We'll find creative ways to make sure we help them, together with the community groups and other private organisations - working as a team. I'm confident that if we work as a team, between the government, the private sector and the people sector, we should have the resources to take care of our people comprehensively." [via CNA]

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing chief executive Charles Li Xiaojia tried to assure members of the London Metal Exchange and mainlanders yesterday that HKEx's plans to expand into commodities would not be a threat to them.
HKEx completed the acquisition of the LME in December last year to diversify into commodities trading as part of the city's plan to develop into a centre for such trading. Some mainland and London players are worried Hong Kong is going to capture part of their business.
Speaking at an LME Week seminar packed with Westerners and mainlanders yesterday, Li first spoke in English, unveiling HKEx's plan to introduce new commodities products in Hong Kong and emphasising it would not hurt trading on the LME.
The Beijing-born Li then surprised the audience by switching to Putonghua to directly address mainland exchange officials and users, assuring them Hong Kong would not be a threat.
"There will be competition between the Hong Kong commodities trading platform and the mainland's, but then we will also be partners as we can co-operate with each other," he said.
Li said he grew up in a farming family, where they had a saying: "We will not take away the food from your bowl, your pot or your farm. We will share the food with you from the field we grow together."
He said: "We will strive for a balance between co-operation and competition with mainland commodities exchanges. We will not develop products that threaten to capture their existing business. Instead, it is our long-term goal to seek co-operation with them to develop new products together and share the profit."
He said HKEx would not move to Hong Kong the trading of LME products with physical delivery but would introduce new cash-settled products.
"We will consider products with different tenures and contract sizes from the LME products," Li said in English. "We may consider introducing commodities products that are not metal contracts. We may also think about introducing yuan-denominated products that are not traded in London.
"LME will need to be changed from a non-profit-making organisation to a company run on commercial terms. But we will make sure there will be no change in any rules or fees of the LME until 2015."
He said developing the commodities market in the city would need the involvement of London, Hong Kong and the mainland.
"The LME in London has the product design experience and a good trading model, while HKEx has the electronic trading platform. But this is not enough as we will need Chinese end users' participation for the local commodities market to develop well," Li said.

Can the Press Tell the Truth About Gays?
A storm has been raging over the past week regarding a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, regarding the emergence of an antibiotic-resistant strain of staphylococcus that occurs disproportionately in men who have sex with men. The storm illustrates the difficulty we in the public have if we want accurate information about homosexuality, namely, the press refuses to tell us the truth.
It began straightforwardly enough two Mondays past, when Reuters published a brief, punchy article about the study by one Amanda Beck. Entitled "Drug-resistant staph found to be passed in gay sex," the article furnished sparse details about the study, and about MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the staph infection that's scaring so many people these days). Included was this exchange from one of the study's authors:
"Once this reaches the general population, it will be truly unstoppable," said Binh Diep, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco who led the study. "That's why we're trying to spread the message of prevention."
According to chemical analyses, bacteria are spreading among the gay communities of San Francisco and Boston, the researchers said.
"We think that it's spread through sexual activity," Diep said.
Next, several anti-gay activists jumped on the report as a means to bolster their claim that homosexuality, rather than being a legitimate lifestyle choice, is dangerous. Joe Farrah at Worldnet Daily touted the inherent dangers of anal sex (he's correct, it's more lethal than smoking,) Americans for Truth About Homosexuality asked a number of questions concerning public policy, and Matt Barber from Concerned Women for America complained about the risk that the gay lifestyle exposes the rest of us to.
Spurred by conservative reactions, the University of California at San Fransisco, from which the researchers performed the study, issued an apology for publishing a report that could be misleading. It's pretty bland stuff, basically saying "We didn't mean to target gays."
What happened next is what's troubling to me. A number of well-known sources jumped on the issue with the express intent of "correcting" the public exposure. Newsweek said "a lot of the media got it wrong." The New York Times reported "the University scrambling to clarify." And the Columbia Journalism Review took numerous articles to task for allegedly misleading headlines and reports.
The problem is, hardly anybody got it wrong. What most of these sources are objecting to is any suggestion that gays are uniquely responsible for spreading the disease. But the fact is, gays engaged in male-to-male sex are spreading the disease faster than other sources. That's an accurate representation of what the study found, and none of the anti-gay activists claimed it said anything beyond that.
The most common argument in these "rebuttals" and "retractions" is that lots of other groups have trouble with MRSA. This is true; one study actually pointed out a serious infection risk among pro football players. A gay support site called "Box Turtle Bulletin" cites numerous groups that have reported Community-Associated MRSA outbreaks.
But the fact that there are lots of non-gay activities where you can catch an MRSA infection, doesn't change the clear fact that gay sex increases the risk dramatically, and spreads the disease faster than other activities (except maybe playing pro linebacker.) The impulse to make an excuse by saying "He's doing it too, Ma," is common to humans, but ultimately means nothing other than "I don't want too much attention paid to my behavior." It's an infantile reaction, not a rebuttal.
Matt Barber of CWA wrote a decent column outlining the whitewash. It's not all that different from the whitewash that's occurred regarding all things gay.
Let's state some facts before we go on:
- MRSA is serious stuff. Some 95,000 infections from antibiotic-resistant staph infections resulted in 19,000 deaths in 2005 in America alone, according to estimates produced by the Centers for Disease Control in 2007.
- Hospitals and clinics account for roughly 86% of known cases of MRSA. The weaker strains attack patients with compromised immune systems.
- The roughly 14% of MRSA cases occurring outside hospitals, so-called Community-Associated MRSA, are a more resilient species of bacterium that attack healthy individuals. The study in question addressed these, a clone of the original MRSA called USA300 by researchers. This is what Dr. Diep said might be "unstoppable."
- You can catch an MRSA infection by poor hygiene, wrestling, playing organized football, or just plain bad luck. If you're not gay, you're still at risk.
- You can catch an MRSA infection a lot faster by engaging in anal sex in San Fransisco.
This is not strictly a gay-related disease, and anybody who reported the original report as "New Gay Plague, Like AIDS" got it wrong. The study does not say that it is, nor do any of the anti-gay activists. The study says, however, that gay sex is almost certainly spreading the disease a lot faster than other types of conduct. It doesn't say which type of gay sexual behavior specifically, but it's very clear in identifying male-to-male sexual contact. It even specifies that mobile gays with sex partners in multiple cities have probably spread the disease from San Fransisco to Boston, Los Angeles, and New York.
I was completely outraged by the Columbia Journalism Review article. The writer of that article, Curtis Brainard, lies outright in his eagerness to defend homosexual conduct. In objecting specifically to the Reuters headline, "Drug-resistant staph passed in gay sex – U.S. study," Brainard says this:
This is not what the study found. It found that USA300 is "spreading rapidly" and is more common among gay men than other populations. That it is spreading sexually is presumed because staph bacteria tend to collect around the groin, as well as in armpits and other bodily crevices-but it is only presumed. The study clearly stated (and some reporters did as well) that:
"Specific sexual behaviors were not assessed or documented in clinic charts; we therefore cannot comment on the association between multidrug-resistant USA300 infection and specific male-male sexual practices."
To peg "gay sex" as the culprit in a headline is completely misleading and journalistically irresponsible.
The problem is, the headline is completely accurate, and Brainard quoted the study out of context. Brainard was quoting a section of limitations acknowledging that the study cannot pinpoint which of several possible specific behaviors are at fault. That gay sex generally was implicated was clear and unmistakable, however. From the same section of the study Brainard quotes, the researchers tell us this:
Data from this study suggest that multidrug-resistant USA300 has spread rapidly among men who have sex with men in San Fransisco and Boston, and that having male-male sex seems to be a risk factor for multidrug-resistant USA300 infection independent of HIV infection.
The researchers continue in the next paragraph:
Our findings that 27% (32 of 118) of men who have sex with men from the SFGH HIV clinic and 39% (47 of 121) of men who have sex with men from Fenway Community Health had infections involving buttocks, genitals, or perineum are consistent with sexual transmission of USA300 in this population.
In other words, the study found precisely what Mr. Brainard says the study did not find. The headline about which Brainard complains is, in fact, accurate.
It gets worse. Again, from the discussion section of the findings (same section Brainard quotes):
It is not clear whether the behavior potentiating these infections among men who have sex with men is anal sex …, skin-abrading sexual practices, or increased frequency of intimate skin-to-skin contact; prevention messages may therefore need to suggest caution in each of these practices.
In other words, the limitation on the study's specificity, which Brainard represents as absolving gay sex as the culprit, the researchers themselves claim is a reason to include all possibly implicated types of gay sex in their warnings!
The caveat Brainard quotes occurs at the end of the "Discussion" section of the report, after the sections I quote; it seems highly unlikely that he found his quote without reading the rest of the section. The most likely cause of his error is that he is lying outright — that he wants to obscure the clear findings of the report. The only other plausible explanation is that he wants so badly for the report to say other than what it says that he's simply incapable of reading accurately. In either case, Mr. Brainard should be severely chastised.
If the public knew the truth about the genuine public health risks of homosexuality, there would be no general approval of the gay lifestyle; it would be evident to the average Joe that homosexuality is pathological and dangerous. The activists were not trying to make the report say anything other than what it said: here's one more reason, among dozens of others, why it's truly dangerous to engage in gay sex, and why gay sex can increase the risk to the rest of us. If the press isn't permitted to say this, even though it's supported clearly by sound research, how can we trust the press?
Update: I believe I was a bit too rough on Curtis Brainard. Rereading the various quotes, it appears to me that he simply misread the sentence he quoted, and took "cannot comment on… specific male–male sexual practices" to mean "cannot comment on homosexuality as a cause." He clearly misread it, but I doubt that he was lying.

This is designed to provide general information about Chapter 59-F of the Montgomery County Code. The sign regulations are intended to encourage the effective use of signs, to maintain and enhance the appearance of our communities, and to improve the safety of both pedestrians and motorists.
What Signs Are Regulated?
Any sign which can be viewed from beyond the property lines of the property where the sign is located. As a general rule, signs on private property (i.e. for sale signs) do not require a sign permit. However, signs in the public right of way (i.e. directional signs to an open house) do require a sign permit. See below for more detailed information on the different types of signs and permits required.
How Are Signs Regulated?
Signs must comply with the sign regulations, Chapter 59-F of the Montgomery County Code. They are regulated by their type, the general zoning classification where they are located, and their size and placement on property.
Are Some Signs Prohibited?
Certain signs are not permitted by the sign regulations to be erected or retained. Examples of prohibited signs include: Roof signs, obstructive signs, unsafe signs, signs which move (banners, pennants, streamers, balloons, etc.), signs attached to public structures, such as traffic devices or utility poles, and signs placed unlawfully in public right-of-way.
Are Any Signs Exempt?
Certain signs are exempt from the sign regulations. Examples of exempt signs include signs on private property 2 square feet or less in an area associated with lawful residential activities, warning signs, official signs and seasonal decorations.
How Do I Obtain A Sign Permit?
An application must be completed and submitted with required support documentation to the Department of Permitting Services (DPS), which is located at 255 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20850. Information is available by visiting DPS or calling 240-777-6300.
What Does A Sign Permit Cost?
Generally, the fee for a permanent sign permit is approximately $267.75 and the fee for a limited duration sign permit is $33.60. This may vary depending on exact size, location and certain other criteria.
Who Is Responsible For Complying With The Sign Regulations?
The property owner, agent of the owner, lessee or sign installer are jointly responsible for compliance with the sign regulations and obtaining any required permits.
What Is The Penalty For Violating The Sign Regulations?
A $500 civil citation and/or removal of any sign that violates the sign regulations.
What Are the Three Different Types Of Signs?
Signs are separated into three types: Permanent, Temporary and Limited Duration. Each type has specific requirements and limitation.
TEMPORARY SIGN (to be located on private property ONLY)
A temporary sign does not require a permit provided the sign is displayed for no more than 30 days. The date of installation must be written on the sign.
Temporary Sign in a Residential Zone
The number of signs is not limited, however the total sign area must not exceed 10 square feet. (Example: 3' x 3' sign = 9 square feet)
A temporary sign must not exceed 5 feet in height (measured from ground to top edge of the sign) for a freestanding or wall sign.
A temporary sign must be set back at least 5 feet from the property line.
No illumination is allowed.
Temporary Sign in a Commercial Zone
The number of signs is not limited, however the total sign area must not exceed 100 square feet.
The maximum sign area of each sign must not exceed 50 square feet.
The sign must not exceed 26 feet in height for a freestanding or wall sign. A freestanding or wall sign. A freestanding sign must not exceed the height of the tallest building on the property.
The sign must be set back at least ¼ of the distance required for the building restriction setback. Generally, the setback for a sign in a commercial zone is a minimum 2 ½ feet from the property line.
No illumination is allowed.
Temporary Sign in a Residential Zone
Temporary Sign in a Commercial Zone
LIMITED DURATION SIGN (to be located either on private property or the public right of way)
A non-permanent sign displayed on either private property for more than 30 days or in the public right-of-way on weekends only or for a 14-day period. (As of February 13, 2006 a limited duration sign on private property does not require a sign permit. That means that a "for sale" sign could be on private property for any length of time as long as it meets the size and placement restrictions in the zoning ordinance). **NOTE: The size, height, and location standards are the same as those for a temporary sign.
Limited Duration Sign in the Public Right of Way
Signs in the right of way, like "For Sale" or Open House advertisements, require limited duration permits.
An applicant is limited to 4 signs per business location. Limited duration signs must not be used in place of permanent signs.
The sign must be displayed only on weekends or for 14 consecutive days.
The sign area for each sign must not exceed 5 square feet. (Example: 2 ½ ' x 2' sign = 5 square feet)
The sign must not exceed 30 inches in height and must be affixed to the ground (holding or waving a sign is not allowed).
The sign must be placed at least 100 feet from any intersection, and 50 feet from any driveway.
The sign must be set back at least 2 feet from a curb or if no curb exists, then at least 6 feet from edge of the roadway.
No signs are allowed in a highway median.
NOTE: State law does not allow signs in the state right-of-way. A state road is identified by a number (Example: Route 355).
Limited Duration Sign in the Public Right of Way
What Is A Limited Duration Sign Installer?
A business or person who installs limited duration signs for others. A limited duration sign installer will be trained by the Department of Permitting Services and must pass an examination. A training class normally lasts about 4 hours and is held upon request. The cost of a limited duration sign installer license is $210. Once licensed, the installer can direct others in the installation of limited duration signs in accordance with the sign regulations, but the installer is responsible for any signs installed under his license. There is no charge for a limited duration sign permit erected by a licensed sign installer.
How Do I Register For The Training Class Or Obtain More Information About Temporary or Limited
Duration Signs?Call the Department of Permitting Services at 240-777-6240.

Marie Pizzorno, an associate professor of biology and a molecular virologist, explains the differences between viruses and bacteria, how some bacteria are "good," and why it's difficult to predict the next epidemic.
Q: What is virology and what is the difference between viruses and bacteria?
A: Virology is the study of viruses. I am a molecular virologist and I specifically study viruses that infect eukaryotes, or higher-order cells, that have a nucleus in them, such as in plants, animals, funguses and insects. Bacteria are simple, one-celled organisms that don't have a nucleus, which is the part of the cell that stores the DNA. Bacteria have all of the machinery they need to carry out the basic processes of life. They can use energy; they can make new proteins; and they can replicate. Viruses are much more limited in that they do not have the capacity to be independent life forms. They need a living cell to infect. Typically, in a normal virus infection, the virus goes into the cell and takes over the cell's machinery. Instead of the cell making cellular stuff, it makes viral stuff. A single virus infection can produce anywhere from 100 to 10,000 new virus particles. So, viruses can replicate very quickly, which is why virus infections in humans tend to take off really fast.
Q: Where are bacteria found and when are they beneficial?
A: Bacteria live in the water, soil, on our skin and inside us. They are everywhere. Most people think all bacteria are bad, but they are not. We have bacteria in our guts that we are now learning actually make things that are important for our bodies. And anybody who has taken an antibiotic and wiped out all the bacteria in their gastrointestinal system, in their stomach, knows the negative effect of not having those bacteria there. The only time we really get upset is when bacteria are in a place they shouldn't be and in a part of our body where they're growing too much and causing an illness. So we take antibiotics to kill bacteria when we have pneumonia or bronchitis or other things like that. But for the most part bacteria do good things and killing off all the bacteria is not always in our best interest.

I live on the Potomac in VA, and this year I noticed a larger population of divers that stayed in our area longer than normal during the winter months. Well this has led to a small amount of divers, buffleheads and bluebills, currently staying in our area now.
Has anyone else noticed this trend or are you seeing birds hanging around areas you normally didn't? I would have thought with the boat traffic picking up these birds would have been long gone but not yet.
Being this late in the spring I think these birds might be here for good. But it seems pretty far south for these birds to be nesting... any thoughts? Do you think they will nest here?

Last year, Stavropol Governor Chemogorov lost his job when a member of the opposition party actually won a seats in the regional legislature. For some reason, this man was not informed the purpose of the opposition is to pretend to run for office knowing full well only the right group– United Russia-wins elections in Putin, Russia. Some Russians still do not grasp the essence of democracy is to allow the party in power to win all elections because –they are the party in power. Why the heck if you are the party in power should the opposition party be allowed to win an election? It makes no sense
In polling station number 3,209 they reported at 4:00 p.m. that 100% of registered voters had voted. Two hours later they reported 97% had voted. In many small polling offices the opposition did not secure a single vote. President Medvedev does not like charges of fraud which are being raised, he prefers a nice orderly election in which everyone does as instructed and he can go home to a pleasant dinner without the stima of "fraud" being in the air.
