Francesca is a great host and her place is so centralised and has an extremely breathtaking view from the balcony. You won't regret staying there. Everything is within 5 min walking distance..Francis2017-04-23T00:00:00Z
The amenities and facilities of this apartment are not luxurious, but it is extremely well-equipped for a self-catering stay, and the total experience is fantastic because of the location, huge terrace and stunning views. Try sitting on the balcony with drinks and nibbles watching the sun set behind Stromboli, and the shadows lengthening on the beach below and the island church directly opposite. As for Francesca, she is a 5 star host!Rod2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time in Tropea! Mostly due to Francesca's hospitality and wonderful apartment! There isn't a better or more relaxing seat than the ones on that balcony overlooking the incredible sea. The apartment is clean with plenty of room. And for those that like sleeping to the sound of ocean waves, this is ideal! It was wonderful and I miss it already. I'll be back! Grazie per tutto, Francesca!! Terri and LauraTerri2015-09-26T00:00:00Z

Together with my husband we spent an amazing time in Tropea. Francesca was a very friendly and resourceful host and she contributed a lot to our great time in Tropea. We both loved the spacious and beautiful apartment overlooking the sea and the church on the hill. Optimal position. We enjoyed hearing the sea waves in the night, that was so calming and relaxing. We appreciated the welcome gift from Francesca - a lovely bottled of wine that we enjoyed drinking on the balcony while celebrating our 10 years anniversary. Francesca also recommended us great restaurants and places to visit around Tropea. Overall our holiday was a dream and we thank Francesca again for her hospitality and friendly nature. We recommend this place with much confidence and we hope to come back again soon!Raluca2015-06-08T00:00:00Z
Francesca and her husband Pietro were the most amazing hosts ever!. Pietro welcomed us at the train station and take us to the apartment where Francesca explained us everything. She also left us wine, cookies and olive oil for our staying. The apartment is very comfortable and the location is excellent. The view from the terrace is breathtaking!. Our time in Tropea was unforgettable. Thank you so much!! Dayana and Fernando. Montevideo - Uruguay.Dayana 2015-06-15T00:00:00Z
Great location in the centre of Tropea with a killer view. Francesca picked us and our things up at the parking spot and drove us right to the apartment. She was very welcoming, giving us onion marmelade and letting us try her family's olive oil from their property. The apartment was super comfy and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.Amanda2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

The drive to papasidero was a pleasant one, with beautiful scenery. The town of papasidero is quiet and have a nice rustic feel. The apartment has everything we need. :)Shameel2016-05-07T00:00:00Z
Absolutely rural home; therefore not many luxury. On the other hand the mamma (who was living in the house in front of ours) was really lovely and helpful and the rest of the villagers were also very nice to us. Little hint: come with a small car! ;)Eva2016-03-26T00:00:00Z
Giuseppe was not present, but his mother did everything to make me feel comfortable. She is a lovely lady. The house is cosy and simple but complete. It reminded me of sleepovers at my grandparents' house. The location is very picturesque, thanks to the remoteness and the extremely beautiful mountains/hills around.Ward2016-05-01T00:00:00Z
A very simple and small space with basic utilities right in the middle of a stunning medieval village surrounded by breathtaking scenery and amazing walks...shared with the famous and best guide ever, Beethoven The Dog who since we left is very much missed..Dhyano Luca2016-04-23T00:00:00Z
A historic apartment in the lovely village of Papasidero, set in the remote hillsides of Southern Italy. Giuseppe was away during our stay but his mother was most accommodating, especially given that we spoke very little Italian.Tom2015-10-21T00:00:00Z
wauw, what a great village! Giuseppe is a really helpful person. Maria is a supersweet lovely lady, she made us feel at home right away! I don't think it can get more authentic Italia than this. Great place!Suzanne2016-07-05T00:00:00Z

Very hospitable hosts! Beautiful spacious apartment, very convenient stop before crossing to Sicily - a walk along the promenade (more in view nothing special) and 10 minutes to the port of RC and there (and not Villa San Giovanni) for 15 euros (car + people) in Sicily. And they have a very good cat and a sense of humor. Thanks, Mariella!Алекс2013-09-28T00:00:00Z
A very kind family and a very nice apartment very close to the centre. Marinella,s son picked us up from t train station on arrival and her husband drove us to the Port to catch our Ferry to Sicily on departure.They also arranged for a friend of their to drive us to the mount for a v good price as we did not want to rent a car. They could not have been nicer to us.They put water in the fridge and oranges from their farm....excellent choice for us The family were simply kindCHRISTINE2015-04-09T00:00:00Z
Clean house a few miles from the city center easily accessible by car. Mariella was very friendly and welcoming as well as the other members of his family to whom I turned in his absence to get information about the city.Rosita2014-12-18T00:00:00Z
Mariella and her son came to pick us up at the train station. They drove us to the perfectly clean appartment, well furnished. They were very nice and and friendly.Sandrine2013-09-13T00:00:00Z
The apartment Mariella has been, so far, the best lodging experience on our trip. This is a private apartment super comfortable, fully equipped with everything you need to feel at home. The city location is very good, available to all, being able to know the city on foot. The friendliness and willingness with which we have been received by Mariella Rosario (his son) and his family is really excellent. This is a highly recommended option.Mariano Nicolas2014-10-24T00:00:00Z
Mariella and her husband welcomed us very well, the explanations were clear and precise on the operating mode of the apartment and neighborhood amenities (you will find the base: small surface fresh produce, supermarket, bakery, newspapers ,. ..). Special mention to the small reception workbook that is full of ideas for dining and exit at Reggio and around ..! The apartment was very clean, cozy, equipped and there were the staple product (toilet paper, dishwashing liquid, coffee, oil, ...) which is nice. What we particularly enjoyed with Mariella and her family is that they were available but very respectful of our space and our pace ... We therefore recommend warmly this property. A big thank you to Mariella and her family for their kindness!Loïc2016-09-16T00:00:00Z
Me and my girlfriend had a great time at Reggio di Calabria. It was very hot and we visited some nice places in Calabria (e.g. Pentidattilo, Scilla and Messina at Sicilia). The flat is large and clean, with all amenities you need and has a safe place outside to park the car. Mariella and her son Rosario are perfect hosts. Rosario speeks English very well so he explained and helped us with all our questions. Both are very friendly so we would definitly stay here again.Theresa2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

The apartment is really nice and located in an ideal location in walking distance to everything you could need. The view from the apartment is outstanding, moreover it is very spacious apartment which has all the comforts required for your stay. We stayed there with our four months old baby and Francesca had organized everything for his stay, such as bed, bath and chair. Francesca is a great hostesses who makes you feel welcomed. They kindly greeted us with some wine and olive oil (oil which they make themselves) and some other snacks. On our day of leaving she drove us to the station. All in all we had a memorable stayjulian2014-09-30T00:00:00Z
Wonderful hosts and view. Francesca and Pietro are wonderful hosts. We were so happy they lived right next door in case there were any problems. It was like being welcomed by family. Anyone we talked to in town would ask why we were there in winter and told us to return at a better time. Indeed it was mostly cold and we found only 3 restaurants open. Most shops were also closed. However, food stores were open for the most part and the Saturday market is open and even some stands are there during the week with local goods. We didn't care about it being mostly closed, since we love to cook and the kitchen is sufficiently stocked. If we needed anything (pizza pan, rolling pin, etc.), Francesca was happy to oblige. We also thought about how mobbed it might be in season. It was nice walking along an empty, albeit somewhat cold beach. Walking through the empty, narrow streets in the old town was also nice for us. For those without a car (like us) the host will try to pick you up at the train station. I don't know how you would find their place otherwise. We did several side trips, which required a long walk up a hill to the station with luggage. I am letting those without a car understand the little issues. It is a small town with no public transportation. We heard there is a taxi, but saw none in a month. The more affordable stores are about 1 km+ walk and back with full bags. There are about 200-350 stairs down to the beach and back up (depending on which way you go) plus about 40 stairs up to the apartment, so you'll get a lot of exercise. The magnificent view and sea breeze are worth all of that. Of course we want to go back!Donald2016-02-29T00:00:00Z
My boyfriend and I just came back from Tropea and was a amazing trip. Francesca's flat is very beautiful and clean. The view is breathtaking! I just wish we could stay longer! Francesca and her family received U.S. With open arms, even picked us up from the station! Francesca gave us a lot of good tips of nice restaurants as well! Wonderful family and a charming little town. Hopefully I will be back there in future.Amanda2015-05-30T00:00:00Z
Francesca kindly collected us from the train station when we arrived in Tropea. She also took the time to show us through the apartment and gave us some good ideas about local restaurants and supermarkets. Francesco had also written down for us some of the local food and drinks to have while we were in Tropea. The apartment is very spacious and the view over the beach is spectacular. The bathroom had a musty odour across the time of our stay but the apartment is located in the old part of town. The apartment is very central and it was also quiet at night even though there was a music festival while we stayed. The main noise at night was the ocean! Francesca gave us our privacy but she also helped us with questions when we had them. A gift of some family made wine and olive oil when we arrived was a lovely gesture. Gracie mille Francesca!Andrew2016-10-01T00:00:00Z
The apartment is really nice, clean and equipped with everything you may need. It is located in the historic center, a stone's throw from the main street and a few minutes from the beach. Despite the central location is still very quiet and the only "noise" that accompanies you during the night is one of the sea !! The house is in fact a peak on one of the most beautiful beaches of Tropea and just in front of Santa Maria island, when the sky is clear you can see, quietly from the window of the house, a gorgeous sunset with the Aeolian islands visible horizon. But the highlight of everything that is precisely Francesca and Peter, two really beautiful and extremely available. Always ready to give you advice on what to see or where to go for a good lunch / dinner. Thank you so much for everything. If we return to Tropea or advise someone where to go for sure we would not have doubts.Francesco2014-09-20T00:00:00Z
All gold stars to Francesca and Peter's place. From the moment you open the door, you will be taken aback by the space, the fully equipped apartment, and the scenery… Oh the scenery is breathtaking. Everything you need for a short or long term vacation is provided. There is unlimited Wi-FI. The kitchen is well stocked, and Francesca provided a bottle of olive oil and wine to welcome us. The apartment is situated directly in old town. It has easy access to all the restaurants and bars, The shops, the butcher shop, and all the pastry bars, as well as the stairs to the beach. There is a queen size bed as well as a single bed in the bedroom with a large window that overlooks the beach and the Santuario Santa Maria dell'Isola. There is also a separate living room with a dining room table and a TV. The kitchen is fully equipped with fridge, stove, pots, pans, dishes, bowls, utensils. There is also a washing machine available for your use. Francesca is the perfect host. She is warm, friendly, very accommodating and very helpful. She also picked us up from the train station. Anything you need to know just ask Francesca. She is terrific!Cecilia2016-09-16T00:00:00Z
Francesca immediately and clearly answered in a pleasant way from the first email communication. Assisted by her husband, she was a caregiver, present and helpful to facilitate our arrival in Tropea and during the entire duration of our stay. The accommodation was spacious and clean. All beds, including the futon, were comfortable. Beyond our expectations: the spectacular view of Santuario Santa Maria dell'Isola and the sea, close to shops and restaurants in the historic center of Tropea and the stairs down to the beach and restaurants that the along. We want to go vacation in Tropea favoring one of the properties managed by Francesca. Hopefully the renovations to the main entrance of the building will not cause a significant increase in the cost of rental housing.Hélène2015-05-23T00:00:00Z

Ines was a fantastic host, she walked up to the Main Street to collect us and was very warm and welcoming, she also invited us to share breakfast with her one morning. The accommodation is fantastic and has everything you need. The location would have to be the best in capo vaticano, with superb sea views and direct beach access, we could have stayed years!! Thanks Ines.Scott2013-10-06T00:00:00Z
Wow! We were so happy in Ricadi. The place has everything you need for a perfect and relaxing holiday. We went there with our 2 year old son and even sleeping the 3 of us in the bed, it was very comfortable. I think the bed is bigger than it looks on the photos. We traveled without car so Ines offered to pick us up at the train station and even offered to take us food shopping. Ines is a wonderful host - considerate and kind and always there if you need something. The accomodation still feels very private, it was just the perfect mix for us. We have been walking around a lot in Ricadi and this is just the most beautiful spot it has to offer. The views are stunning and the shortcut to the beach was great. Thank you for everything, Ines... I would like to come back just now!Corinna2016-06-13T00:00:00Z
The view from the terrace is stunning. We had the pool to ourselves really! With a full equipment in the kitchen, a suitable mattress and more cleanliness the property at a higher price would be rentable.Gabi2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
Ines has cared for us pefekt and was there yet as discreet as possible. We really felt at home in her garden shed. The view is unique!Felix2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
In August, when every centimeter of coastline is taken of assault by tourists, the house of Ines becomes a precious pearl and a little piece of paradise. The location is so beautiful that we spent the whole day between the pool and the bay below, causing dozens of landscape photographs. Our 3 year old son had so much fun in the pool, which has a small tub with lower water and hot. Even the annex is comfortable and functional. Ines, always available, has proved an excellent hostess and thank you again very much for welcoming us into his exclusive property!Simona2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
Our holiday (couple, both 27 years old) at Ines was one of the best vacations of our whole life. We spent 10 days at her, were every day in Capo Vaticano or in nearby Tropea on the beach and just could wonderfully unwind. Be it the property itself (spacious, bright, with all amenities including washing machine, air conditioning, etc.), whether the estate (2! Pools, planting, seating overlooking Capo Vaticano) or the location (a short, picturesque, but fairly steep way to the beach, easy access to supermarkets or restaurants, excursions to neighboring cities such as Tropea or the Aeolian Islands) - Living with Ines is a dream! A little tip: A private or rented car is essential, because the public transport is virtually non-existent in Calabria. We have a car at Maggiore rented in Reggio, where we ended up, what went absolutely hassle free.Lisa2015-09-03T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Simona's was fantastic! She made it so easy for us and was happy to accomodate us in every way. She provided so much helpful information about Tropea such as restaurants and things to do and answered any questions we had. Rosa picked us up from the train station as simona wasn't in Tropea at the time which was such a huge help. I would highly recommend Simona's place if you're looking for a beautiful, central place to stay in Tropea with views to die for.Tess2017-02-14T00:00:00Z

As the first hosts of the apartment we can say it was a great pleasure. Everything was incredibly fresh, with great taste, convenience and excellent location. A Simona we not met personally but maintained a permanent virtual contact us, attentive to every detail and every need, it gave us information about the city. Excellent hostess. I would go safe and highly recommend. The apartment has all the comfort, the room is although in a somewhat central location is refaxionado so that has a perfect acoustic and light insulation with which you can relax fantastically well. The view from the balcony and room is beautiful, and the location is unbeatable.Natalia2015-06-05T00:00:00Z

Amazing views from the balcony off the bedroom and the rooftop terrace. Lots of space, great kitchen, very convenient parking. Vincenzo met us briefly and explained the in and outs of the apartment. Would recommend 100%Simon2016-07-27T00:00:00Z
Very nice and neat apartment, on the one hand relatively quiet area outside the hustle and bustle Tropea, on the other hand you can walk in 5 minutes in the middle. Although it is under the roof (beautiful views, lots of sun on the roof terrace!) It was pleasantly cool even without use of the existing air conditioning. Vincenzo is a super host! Very helpful, picked us up from the station and was always available if we needed anything. Highly recommended!Volkmar2013-07-16T00:00:00Z
We had stayed in Tropea a few years ago, and the town centre can be quite loud at night-time if the windows are open (coffee cups and chatting, not bare-knuckle boxing), so we decided to stay slightly out of the centre this time. That meant we did have a 5/10 minute walk from this apartment to the nearest part of the town and a further 5 minutes to get to the part that I would call the centre. That was fine, because we only really took one walk in and one walk out per day. We drove to the beach, and a parking space (or, rather, some places where you can park your car) comes with the rental. This apartment is spacious, with a rooftop "Solarium" and a large balcony/terrace off the bedroom. There is a dining/living room/kitchen and digital TV set up as well. (Digital TV is important, because you can change the audio from Italian to English with movies...) Everything in the apartment was clean. It's slightly old-fashioned, but so is Tropea. It's all in a charming way. There were brand-new air conditioning units (which we didn't use), and other appliances were high standard as well. The rooftop is a big bonus for eating, drying clothes and enjoying the deck-chairs. The host seemed really polite at check-in and check-out, but spoke no real English. This is quite common in Calabria. They don't get a lot of UK or American tourists. Most are German or Italian. Don't come to Calabria if you want 5-star hotels, home-comforts and waiters who speak better English than you do. Visit if you want to get away from the usual tourist scene and enjoy excellent beaches, food and hospitality. I'd stay in this apartment again, but just beware that it's out of town and a long way on foot to the beach. If you have a car and want a bit of extra space - this is ideal.Kenny2015-06-06T00:00:00Z
A really nice, well furnished apartment with 2 terraces with super sensational views of Tropea and the sea. Vincenzo is very nice and helpful, all highly recommended.Philip2014-08-07T00:00:00Z
Vincenzo is a really friendly and courteous host. He picked us up from the train station in Tropea and showed us important places such as the beach and supermarket and how to get there from the apartement. On the day of leaving Vincenzo he took us again to the train station very early. Although the communication was a little bit difficult (we can not speak italian or french and Vincenzo no english), we could manage everything easily. The apartment is very very nice: the kitchen is well equipped and the balcony with the amazing view over Tropea and the coast is beautiful. Tropea is a small town, but it is very lovely and cosy to sit outside in the evening and the beach is amazing! All in all, we had a wonderful time in Tropea :) A little advice: Bring enough cash with you for payment in supermarkets and the tourist shops.Laura2014-05-26T00:00:00Z

We were the end of October 2016 for 10 days at Domenica in the Hibiscus Uno Apartments. The rooms and facilities were spotless, the care by Domenica, her sons and her husband was very personal and deserves the highest praise. The facilities in the bathroom and in the kitchen worked perfectly (in Italy is not always the rule). The outdoor facilities for community use by all the apartments were well maintained. The location of the apartments on the outskirts of Tropea is very quiet despite the above lying railway line. On foot it took to the closest beaches of Tropea and Parghelia about 30 minutes, by car about 10 minutes, in the center of Tropea you can walk in about 15 minutes. In high season, however, is likely to make driving and parking in Tropea and the beaches are a major problem. The apartments are referred to in this description as "miniapartamenti", this is true: The kitchen is very small and was additionally narrowed by a bunk bed; the upper bed was removed at our request. Ideal would be a seat sofa, so you can watch TV sometimes convenient - however the room size for such a thing is hardly enough. Unfortunately, the TV program has no international channels, only Italian. WiFi worked perfectly.Heinz2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

The apartment and place is great. It was not my first time in Tropea, and I can confirm that it's very near the center, just a 2 minute walk. The place was clean and all was working fine. Joanna was always very helpful and also Lidia supported whenever possible. A great price and all over and were more than satisfied.Gianni2015-07-27T00:00:00Z
This was our first Airbnb experience in Tropea and it was INCREDIBLE. We have visited Tropea twice before and stayed once in a resort and once in a B&B. Joanna's flat was bigger, better, and less expensive than the previous places that we stayed. We had breakfast every morning on the balcony and every evening we had drinks on the balcony before having dinner in the great Tropea restaurants. We did not need to even bring sun screen or beach towels, everything was provided!!!! We plan to return!!!Maureen2016-07-30T00:00:00Z
The apartment in Tropea was perfect for our stay - it was clean, centrally located, the bed comfortable, great view but best of all Joanna provided things that are normally not included in other accommodation providers - beach umbrella and towels, sun tan lotions, basic supplies in the pantry and fridge and laundry soap for washing clothes. If in Tropea Joanna's apartment is a great place to stay.Danny2016-05-28T00:00:00Z
Tropea is a very suggestive and turistic place. It's perfect if you like spending relaxed holidays and swimming in a beautiful sea. The apartment is wonderful and fully-equipped and from the balcony you can even see the Stromboli and 100 meters far from the center.Further, it is very easy to find parking siringa the week. The building is very old and the elevator was not working and the apartment is on the 5th (URL HIDDEN) consider this.Also, from the town to the beach there is a 110 steps difference in height, so you better like exercising. In conclusion, that's the place to stay if want to visit Tropea, you will find no better accommodation.mattia2016-08-13T00:00:00Z
We were greeted by Lidia who was very helpful. We had a little problem with the facilities which was dealt with quite quickly. The apartment was great inside though the building was a little run down (hey it's Italy!). The neighbourhood was cool and we quickly became friends with the man in the garage below who kept an eye on our car. We found the best little cafe with good coffee and fresh (still warm) croissants around the corner - went there for breakfast every morning! Overall great experience - Tropea is charming and you easily settle into the lifestyleJohn2016-04-06T00:00:00Z
Fantastic house, very large and equipped with every comfort (Sky, WiFi) corresponds exactly to the photos. The view enjoyed from the terrace and from every other window is magnificent (Stromboli in the foreground). The kitchen is perfectly usable and every dish or plate is perfectly usable. central district, it is also easy to find a parking for the car.Marco2016-08-17T00:00:00Z
I had already stayed at Dave and Joanna's place for three months. I asked them for a couple of extra weeks, and they kindly accepted. So I got to enjoy a bit of warmer weather, some more awesome sunsets, and in general all the wonders of Tropea. I can highly recommend spring here!

Great apartment with a sun facing terrace. A close walk to Tropea and its beach. Easy parking. Great value for money. Thanks!Simon2015-05-26T00:00:00Z
Francesca was a wonderful host. She met us at the town's tourist information desk and took us to the apartment. The apartment was very clean and lovely. I found it even better than the photos! It is a new building and has a wrap-around balcony. It is a 10 minute walk to the "downtown." Due to this distance, it allows for very convenient parking on the ground floor (which we found very helpful). We travelled with 2 little ones, and Francesca prepared a cot for us. The apartment is on the top floor, accessed by about 3 flights of stairs. There is a little organic grocer about a 6 minute walk from her place where you can get the essentials. The town is lovely, with a beautiful beach. There is a great supermarket just past the Vodafone dealer (great guy there too). The town had so many wonderful and friendly people. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it!Sheila2015-06-15T00:00:00Z
Francesca and her husband are the sweetest and kindest hosts any individual can encounter. They have a warm and beautiful energy that is infectious to others, so much that you feel entirely comfortable in their property at Tropea. They picked up my boyfriend and I from the train station with a warm welcome even after I was unsure of our arrival time. The property is perfectly located with a short scenic walk to the beach, well maintained, clean and feels like your very own home. I recommend this to anyone 100%.Marcella2013-07-13T00:00:00Z
We stayed for two nights and found Francesca's place ideal to unwind. It is located in a quiet area with parking directly outside. The apartment is very good. lots of space and very comfortable. Everything you need for self catering. Francesca and husband were both very welcoming and are both lovely people. I would definitely recommend staying here.Bret2014-03-31T00:00:00Z
Amazing location with a nice cozy feel! The laundry machine was a bonus.Joe2015-07-04T00:00:00Z
Francesca and her husband were very hospitable. It was especially nice that they met us at the station, and then carried back. The apartment is very centrally located. On the one hand it is very quiet, and the center is just 15 minutes along the scenic road. We traveled with children 5 years and up to the sea and back to get was not tiring. Lack of air conditioning was not a problem, as all excellent ventilation due to the successful arrangement of windows. Lovely stay in a great location. Would highly recommend and hope we'll come back here to relax in this beautiful place again.Anna2012-09-23T00:00:00Z
Hospitality perfect, functional and very large apartment 5/10 minutes from the center. Francesca is a nice person, polite and helpful.Davide2015-09-10T00:00:00Z
Dear Francesca, Thanks for the nice and easy contact and the wonderful time we had in Tropea in your Fereinwohnung! The apartment is large, well equipped kitchen, nice bathroom with fluffy towels, everything was very very clean! Walking is within 8-10 minutes in the old town of Tropea, for us with a small child in the perfect location. Francesca is a friendly and helpful host. We can recommend the apartment without restrictions!Cecilia2014-10-19T00:00:00Z

It takes your breath away! This is a beautifully restored apartment in an old house, in a perfect location: close to all the beaches and the lively historic center. The apartment is very well equipped with good size bedrooms (1 big one and a smaller one) and two bathrooms. From the small terrace you have a fantastic view. Please note that carrying your luggage upstairs is a bit of a challenge, but once you are up, it's not the steps but the apartment that's takes your breath away! Nancy coordinated our stay in a very friendly and helpful way. It's nice to know she's there as a backup!Jan and Karin2015-06-24T00:00:00Z
Amazing apartment in the old town of Tropea. Perfect location, near to beaches, shops, restaurants with wonderful view from the teraces. The flat is beautifully and stylishly decorated, everything new and clean. You find there everything you need for your stay. Nancy was really helpful and communicated with us prior to and during our stay. She also organized a taxi for us from the airport. We would love to come back soon!Lenka2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Fantastic apartment! I was there for a long weekend with some friends. We spent much time in house and we enjoyed both the kitchen and the barbecue. The view from the terrace of my bedroom made me think of being in the middle of the historical center, while from the terrace of the living room and from the balcony you could see the blue sea and the mountains. Although we spent a whole day in the house, because of the rain, we did not absolutely felt suffocated. In addition, we greatly appreciated the touch of modernity 'consistent in having a' pre-provision 'the USB to charge our phones. I can not wait to return!carlo2014-11-23T00:00:00Z
What an absolute magical place Tropea is and Nancy's apartment made our visit perfect! Such a great position in the old town , close to everything with stunning views of the ocean. The apartment is simple and stylish with ample room for our family of four. Thank you Nancy for making the lead up to our visit so seamless and to Roberto who met with us and showed us through the apartment and was so helpful. We were sad to leave and one day wish to return and hope to stay at Nancy's stunning place once again.Myfanwy2015-09-15T00:00:00Z
The apartment was in a perfect location, clean, bright and felt like home almost immediately. I would definitely recommend staying here. Nancy was a fantastic host, very communicative and helpful with restaurant tips and helping with taxi accommodations.Kristen2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
Nancy's flat was absolutely charming and we really enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic, close to the historic centre, and a short walk to the beach. There was a small but lovely terrace with a sea view. The flat had been recently renovated and things like under-floor heating and good water pressure made for excellent utilities. It was very comfy, with good areas to chill with friends or a good book. There were some really nice little local touches like the console table and the wall of the living room. All in all an excellent stay!Rajshree2014-10-22T00:00:00Z
We felt very welcome even before we came to Tropea! Due to changing flight times so we dodged a little about our arrival. Nancy really tried to be helpful to come up with different proposals. Once we arrived at Tropea joined the meeting and the handover of the key perfect - despite our non-existent knowledge of Italian! The apartment and its location surpassed all of our expectations. The view of the small square with the sea and Stromboli in the background can not be described but must be experienced in reality. We are super happy with everything!Helena2015-04-09T00:00:00Z
Nancy was easy to communicate with before our trip providing helpful, local knowledge. The apartment is lovely and modern and exactly as per the listing. It is located in the old town which is ideal for visiting bars, restaurants and beaches. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Tropea.Michelle2015-09-09T00:00:00Z

We were in house of Mary a week and we found benissimo.l'appartamento there is equal force to pictures and availability of Mary was full ... we were 4 and the spaces were excellent ... we found in the kitchen everything you need to cook ... x Maria greeted us even though we arrived well in advance ... will definitely be back !!!Roberta2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
Position the house directly on the sea, from the windows of the apartment offers a beautiful view of the sea. Right next to the house there is a small beach. Nearby is a promenade where there are restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. The apartment is very clean, has everything you need: bedding, polotetsa, blankets. The kitchen is well equipped with everything necessary, like every woman would be equipped for yourself. Maria helped us book a taxi from the airport and we met a taxi driver Ciccio, the services of which we enjoyed during our stay in Pizzo. We arrived in the evening and could not go to the grocery store, but were pleasantly surprised that Maria left us for breakfast milk, coffee, croissants, cookies and juice. I recommend this home and hospitable hosts!Elena 2017-02-11T00:00:00Z

The holiday week was very nice. The apartment is located in a historic building and is good for 2 - 4 persons. They equipped with everything one needs that. There are two bathrooms including showers. This worked perfectly. The apartment is very centrally located, so all restaurants, cafes and achieve similar fast are. With Stella we only had email contact, she was friendly, helpful and very quickly with any questions. Locally, Yolanda has perfectly taken care of everything. Thank you ... e Grazie Mille!Daniel2017-04-07T00:00:00Z
We have been very warmly welcomed in Tropea and been admitted into the apartment, which, incidentally, corresponds exactly to the pictures and is very cozy and tastefully decorated and offers sufficient space for 4 people. Since it is in the center in the middle, we were able to achieve anything great in the evening. In all our questions we get a quick response and all spent in all a great week there. We will certainly be happy again.Christiane2015-10-24T00:00:00Z
Beautiful house! Amazing place. Super Location !! the heart of the city, 10 minutes from the sea, 15 minutes to the train / railway station on foot. Maria Luisa, mother Stella, 100% Italian beautiful emotional and beautiful woman. It's very comfortable, the house has everything you need for a comfortable life, including the charm of "Italian house". The best advice for those who have yet to come vacation!Ольга2015-06-27T00:00:00Z
The apartment of Stella was very nice! Stella, we have not personally met, only her mother Luisa, who does not speak English. Also went so :-) The apartment is huge - our kids had fun exploring! Everything is there that you need. Shops are around the corner and up the stairs to the beach is also nearby. Only the smell of mothballs bothered me somewhat - the ceiling, which were in chests, we could not take, because it was too pushy. Everything else was very clean and tidy. Outside the door is a small one-way street and the usual traffic with the scooters. But at night it is quiet.Theresa2016-10-24T00:00:00Z
Very welcoming and freindly. Gave use useful information and showed us around the apartment.Tracey2015-10-10T00:00:00Z
The apartment is located in the heart of the fantastic Tropea. Near the sea and to all the restaurants and bars. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this option to anyone who visits the pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea.Manuel2016-05-26T00:00:00Z
Guest who rent Stella's place in Tropea in during the cooler months -- December to April -- should bring very warm clothes for inside, as the apartment is very cold and bedroom heaters might not work. They should also know that the terrace shown in the listing photo will not be available to them. There is no balcony or terrace in the two-bedroom apartment. The lighting in the small kitchen is abysmal, however, the kitchen is well equipped, as is the rest of the apartment. Tropea is a beautiful town and Stella's place is close to everything. The shop keepers are friendly, especially if you attempt to say something in Italian, and the amethyst sunsets are gorgeous.Carol2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
The appartment was exactly like on the picture. The arrival was well organised, too. Yolanda picked me up from the main piazza and took me to the appartment which is located right in the centro storico and hardly accessible by car. This service was obviously great because I had no stress finding the appartment. On the first day I could not access the internet but again, with the help of Yolanda, we fixed the problem quickly. All in all a very pleasant stay in a very charming appartment right in the center of Tropea!Daniel2016-05-22T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in Arcadia. Domenico was very friendly and advised us good places to visit, nice beaches, places for dinner etc. The room was nice, clean and perfect for our first vacation with our 4 months old baby. The b&b is on a 5 minutes walk to the historic centre and is situated in a small quiet street. We highly recommend Domenicos place!Bert2016-10-20T00:00:00Z
Domenico is very helpful, available and kind. The B & B is brand new, all beautiful, all clean, well located, the station is 5-10 minutes walk to the sea 15 restaurants on the way to the sea! There's really nothing to say, go for it! In addition the area is beautifulMyriam2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

One of the best air bnb experiences, we've had! Domenico picked us up at the tropea Train Station, even though he did not know our exact Time of arrival, due to our non existing Internet-Connection in italy. He showed us around town in his car, which was nice to get an overview. The breakfast was nice, and there was a variety of Food. He gave us tips where to eat and He was always very kind. We are thankful for everything and would really like to Come back one day :)Elena2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
The B & B is really great, not only very clean and well-maintained as new, but also has a great location! Far from the 'noise' of the nightlife but practically in the center of Tropea with lots of parking adjacent. Domenico then is a great guy, I and my fiance had the opportunity to exchange four words with him and is really helpful, polite and friendly. And 'who was also a traveler, he understands well the needs of its guests :)Francesca2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

Nice little apartment in the heart of the old town of Pizzo. The bustling marketplace where cream, bars and restaurants are only a few steps away, and the city beach can be reached in less than 5 min. The apartment was nicely decorated and especially clean. Ideal for couples. The host Franco was very accommodating and helpful. Overall, highly recommended.Kevin2016-06-16T00:00:00Z
Me and my boyfriend spent the holidays of August to Pizzo and the stay was perfect. The apartment is clean and equipped with everything needed for cooking, Franco is very nice and helpful. The nearest beach is about 10/15 minute walk, we walked a bit 'more and explored the surroundings and the Piedigrotta church, really exciting. If you love to fish here you find fresh and good value, good food and of course unforgettable truffles. Panorama dream! Both from the small terrace from the bathroom window you see the sea sticking out of the characteristics houses of the country.elisabetta2016-08-18T00:00:00Z
Franco's studio is so cozy and we really felt like we were a part of the town of Pizzo. It's in the heart of the centro and a short walk to many great cafés and especially the home of the Tartufo-the local ice cream treat. Franco's apt is filled with souvenirs of his travels from all over the world. The fruit and vegetable stand was just outside our window. And speaking of windows -- we had the best view of the sea from the bathroom. There is free car parking close by-don't pay anyone to stay there!!! Pizzo is a great small town with a wonderful piazza especially at night. We cooked meals there and felt for a few moments that we were Italians. There is no internet there but it is close by at many of the cafés.Paula2014-05-15T00:00:00Z

My stay at Francesco's flat in Pizzo was without a doubt the best experience of my life! I rented his flat but Francesco rented me his time and his company throughout my stay in Pizzo. When I first arrived in Lamezia Terme train station I messaged Francesco to tell him the next train to Pizzo wouldn't be for a few hours. He went out of his way to try to send a friend with a taxi to pick me up. His friend was busy at the time so Francesco decided to drive a half hour to pick me up from the station!! Unfortunately, since I couldn't find WiFi I didn't get his message telling me he was coming to pick me up so I took a taxi to Pizzo. It was a horrible mix up but Francesco was so understanding despite the fact that he wasted so much time and petrol trying to pick me up. When I arrived in Pizzo all the trouble was worth it because the city was BEAUTIFUL. The flat itself is in the perfect location. It is right in the centre and only around 20 seconds walk to piazza del republica. The flat is covered in artifacts from around the world that Francesco has collected throughout his travels. The bed is huge and so comfy. I slept like a baby each night! The stereo has great speakers and there are a bunch of CDs to choose from. I played the best of Simon and Garfunkel on repeat whenever I was in the flat. There is a kitchen with all the amenities to cook for yourself. The flat is right down the road from a daily fresh food market so you can get your food there and cook it in the kitchen at the flat. If you're lazy like me, you can take the 30 second walk to the piazza del republica and eat there. Francesco is very close with the owners of C'era Una Volta and highly recommended that I eat there. He even brought me to the restaurant to tell the lovely owner that I would be dining there and for them to take special care of me! I ate there twice during my stay and the food was to die for!! The mussels were so fresh and the white wine sauce was full of flavor. There were napkins at the table but I was licking my fingers, it was that good! The view from the bathroom window of the flat is breathtaking. You can see right down onto the beach and the crystal clear blue water. I spent at least an hour each day at that window watching the people of Pizzo stroll by and watching the birds fly around. Francesco answered all my enquiries about activities in Pizzo. He was basically my own personal tour guide! I told him I wanted to do a boat tour and he asked his friend if there were any available spots on the boat tour. The...Valentia2015-05-17T00:00:00Z
The studio is a perfect place to stay in Pizzo: interior is lovely and the location absolutely cannot be beat. The refreshing sea view is exactly what you need in the morning.

Once in Badolato did not want to leave, we had found a special place. The house is functional and very comfortable, the priceless view, the sparkling clean pool is unfair competition to the sea (well beautiful! The Ionian coast at this height is a long strip of white sand with very few people even in August). The surroundings are to be discovered: a few kilometers are Stilo, Bivongi, Serra San Bruno, staletti ... the problem is to find the strength to leave the wonderful terrace! Carlo and his parents are perfect hosts, accurate, helpful and very polite: deeply love the place and it is a pleasure and an honor to have had the opportunity to also find out through their stories. We spent 3 wonderful days and will definitely return.Anna2015-08-09T00:00:00Z
We had the best time at this place! Carlo was not there for the weekend but he kept in touch and answered all our questions. Instead Carlos parents, Daniella and Pieteo, took care of us. They were absolutely wonderful people!! So nice. They made us the perfect lunch (classic Italian with antipasto, pasta and secondi). It was the best one we have had in Italy so far, and we have lived here for two months. We also had the local wine that they make themselves with grapes from the vineyard. It was amazing! The house was also beautiful and the view stunning. We would recommend to visit Badolato, a medieval city just ten minutes by car from the house. A very cool city with a lot of churches and other sights. Grazie mille to Daniella and Pieteo for a lovely stay! Thank you so much for taking the time to cook and eat with us. It was very special!Frida2016-10-16T00:00:00Z
The single greatest Airbnb experience we have ever had. I almost didn't want to write a review because I wanted to keep it a secret. This is one of those hidden gems you have to go to. You get the whole house to yourself. With a pool. And a winery. And genuinely quite breathtaking views over Badolato. For fifteen pound each. I assumed it was a con. It's not. It's just quite brilliant. Carlo's parents are absolutely lovely - they let us in and showed us around before leaving us to it. They also have a vast wine collection (of wine they have produced themselves naturally) and you can help yourself and leave some money. I also bought a bottle of olive oil, which they also produce themselves. I think we ended up spending more on wine and oil than on the accommodation! We also got up at 530am to watch the sunrise over the sea and Badolato. It's that sort of place.Adam2015-07-14T00:00:00Z
Wonderful host, amazing house. Carlo was very flexible for the arrival time, we were really late. Carlo s parent cooked lunch for us, was delicious. The wine was good as well, fabulous experience! Grazie Mille, hope to come back soon, Kristin and FrancoisFrançois2015-08-19T00:00:00Z

Earth breaking views, calm and peaceful atmosphere and warm, hospitable hosts – we even did not expect that our stay in Badolato went so great. Daniela, Pietro, Carlo, thank you so much that you let us to share several days of your life with us. We all so appreciate it very much and hope to come back!Tatyana2015-10-09T00:00:00Z
Daniela, Pietro & Carlo are really great hosts! We were greeted warmly by our hosts. They had good advice on the surrounding area were always helpful and provided us lovingly. They were always over the phone, took care of every day around the property and the pool and spoiled us with Calabrian specialties such as olives, figs and home-grown vegetables, and cheese, and home-cooked food and pastries The property is located on a vineyard above the picturesque historic village of Badolato. The view from the terrace on Badolato and the sea is so picturesque that we hardly left the first two days of the estate. The house itself it lacks nothing. One has the dining living room with the huge table, two bedrooms (linen is provided and changed) and bathroom, with bath and shower (towels and hair dryer available). The large kitchen is fully equipped and offers the possibility to cook yourself. The outdoor area offers beside the pool (about 14 x 7 meters), a large terrace where you can sit comfortably in the evening. The property is lonely and is surrounded by vineyards, olive and fruit trees, there are no immediate neighbors. Everything was really like in the photos and much more beautiful. You can always purchase a bottle of wine. Who wants to cook for themselves has the opportunity to shop in Badolato Mare on the market (Mondays), in several small shops or large supermarkets. In Badolato (about 5 minutes by car) If you do not want to cook, the are several restaurants available. The beach nearby was fantastic and empty, we were often alone at sea. The location of the house is in order to discover from here from Calabria. (Stillo, Le Castella, Tropea, Reggio, etc.) Who has the opportunity to participate in an organized by the hosts to the estate Dinner during his stay, this should necessarily perceive. It was a social evening with typical Calabrian food, own wine and a great atmosphere. It was an absolute highlight Thank you Daniela, Pietro & Carlo for the unforgettable time. They were two wonderful and relaxing weeks. Sara & MarkusMarkus2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

Francesca was a very nice and friendly host! She even baked us some delicious Italian cookies. The appartment was clean and had a terrace with a great view. It's a perfect location to explore Tropea and Calabria!Ante2015-05-20T00:00:00Z
Staying with Francesca's great. The apartment is very clean and has everything you need. You can very quickly go on foot to the center and also the beach is not much further. Francesca is very nice and helpful and helped us with any questions. We had a great holiday at the home of Francesca in Tropea.Janina2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
Apartment is spacious, renovated and well furnished, really clean and bright. View from the balcony to the sea and shore is wonderful. There are a parking space. 10-15 minutes on foot from the town center and the beach. Francesca is frendly and hospitable person, gave us a lift from the station and back. We spent a wonderful time in Tropea.Stanislav2014-06-22T00:00:00Z
Francesca was a great host and the apartment was really nice. They picked us up from the train station and dropped us off when we were leaving. The apartment was clean and nice with two balconies, a short walk from the city center. We would definitely recommend this place!Björn2014-07-28T00:00:00Z
Francesca made sure we knew the location and before we arrived we exchanged a few sms messages. The place is the same as in the photos, has all the necessary cooking equipment and it is very close to the old city. As we came by car, the free parking next to the building was more then appreciated. The only downside to our stay was that out of 4 people, 2 slept in the kitchen with the sun coming in which was not very pleasant, but for 3 days it was manageable (bathroom and the other bedroom are very nice though). Also, there was a construction site right next to our building which made the neighborhood a little loud and dusty, but that should be taken care of by next year.Ana2014-08-10T00:00:00Z
Francesca is a very friendly hostess, she offered to pick us up at the station. The apartment is perfectly located about 15 minutes' walk from Tropea center. The decor is sleek, plenty of closet space, large bathroom and two balconies.The apartment has a parking lot that is not located on straat.Super hostess will definitely recommend it to friends.mj2016-06-03T00:00:00Z
Great value for money. Apartment is well equipped and host was very helpful upon arrival and throughout our stay. We enjoyed having fresh juice and coffee for our first breakfasts. Tropea city center is one minute away by car and five by foot (ten if you have a slow-walking child like we do :)). Too bad there was a construction site facing our bedroom but the working guys proved quieter than we expected and we seldom stayed in the apartment at daytime anyway :) We could definitely recommend this place for a great (and cheap) stay in Tropea.anne2014-07-21T00:00:00Z

Schilling lawyer argues for tossing lawsuit
Credit: Chitose Suzuki
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Curt Schilling and executives of his bankrupt video game company "disclosed everything" to Rhode Island's economic development agency before being granted a $75 million loan guarantee, a lawyer told a judge Wednesday in arguing he should dismiss a lawsuit against them.
Attorney Michael Connolly said the former Boston Red Sox pitcher and other 38 Studios executives "repeatedly and continuously" told top officials at the state Economic Development Corp., whose board approved the deal, about the company's finances.

Police believe that the murder of prominent New Brunswick businessman Richard Oland is connected to a man in "financial difficulty" who owed the victim more than half a million dollars, newly unsealed court documents say.
When the 69-year-old businessman was killed last year in his office in the heritage district of Saint John, N.B., a man working one floor below told police he heard "exceptionally loud, quick, pounding thumps" coming from above, the documents say.
The documents are search-warrant applications Saint John police made in the days after Mr. Oland's slaying last year.
A heavily redacted version of the warrants was released in August at the request of the Saint John Telegraph-Journal and the CBC. More details were unsealed on Friday, but some names and identifying details are subject to a publication ban.
The main investigator, Constable Stephen Davidson, interviewed a person of interest, a man "on the edge financially" who was indebted to Mr. Oland for more than $600,000, the warrant applications say.
The man knew Mr. Oland, and they had a common interest that could have justified a meeting between them, the court documents say.
Mr. Oland, a scion of the Moosehead beer dynasty, had left the family business and was running his own investment firm when he was killed between July 6 and 7, 2011, in his second-floor office at 52 Canterbury St., near the waterfront.
The court documents say that Mr. Oland's secretary, Maureen Adamson, left her boss at his office on July 6.
Her husband, William, was parked outside waiting to pick her up. As he sat in his car, Mr. Adamson saw someone matching the man's description enter the building, the court documents say.
"He did not see this person's face and therefore did not recognize him. The male was carrying a red bag, similar to the environmentally friendly grocery shopping bags; bag was not empty but not overly full nor heavy," the police said in their warrant application.
Video-surveillance footage recorded at another location supported Mr. Adamson's recollection of the man's appearance.
However, the man claimed he was dressed in a different way that day when police interviewed him, the warrant applications say.
"Until I went over to his [Richard Oland's] office, it was a very typical day," the man said in a video deposition he gave Constable Davidson.
Later that day, the building's owner, John Ainsworth, heard what sounded like shuffling noises from Mr. Oland's office, the documents say.
Another witness, Anthony Shaw, said there were six or seven "exceptionally loud, quick, pounding thumps … similar to banging on a wall," while he worked a floor below Mr. Oland's office.
The court documents say that Ms. Adamson discovered Mr. Oland's body the next morning.
Mr. Oland was not reported missing that night because, according to relatives, it was not uncommon for him not to come home without notifying anyone.
His wife of 46 years, Constance Oland, the warrants say, "describes Richard Oland as controlling, as well as verbally and emotionally abusive. … Since Richard Oland left Moosehead Breweries in the 1980s, he has never been the same."
Mrs. Oland learned that something was wrong when a friend, real-estate agent Diane Sedlacek, phoned to tell her that police cars were outside the Canterbury office.
Ms. Sedlacek told police she regularly called and texted Mr. Oland because she had been in a romantic relationship with him for eight years.
"She believed most of the family was aware of this," she told police, according to the warrants.
Previously released documents show that the police applied for a warrant to get a copy of the victim's financial records from a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch.
Police also searched a car, looking for DNA swabs and traces of blood and seizing several bills and receipts.
Until this summer, Saint John police had said only that Mr. Oland was the victim of a homicide, without explaining whether they believed his killing was intentional.
However, the unsealing of the warrants has since revealed that investigators believe that "person or persons unknown … did commit murder on the person of Richard Henry Oland."
The cause of death remains blacked out from the warrant documents, but a relative has previously told The Globe and Mail that investigators asked him whether he owned a drywall hammer – a small construction tool with an axe-like blade.Report Typo/Error

I want to make some money. Then suddenly modeling came to my mind, I'll get plastic surgery if my face isn't good enough. I think modeling might get me some quick money. But then again, maybe I'm wayy to cocky or think to highly of my looks to even consider modeling. Or maybe I am just thinking too much or maybe People will think that I'm cocky and think I'm too good for them? Or maybe I should just shut up... Lol

There are lots of different kinds of models, but I'm going to assume you're thinking of high-fashion/runway models, and in that case, it's very unlikely.
First of all, fashion models have to be extremely tall (typically 5'10" or more) and extremely thin - most have to starve themselves to keep thin enough. Second, you have to have either a very conventionally-attractive face or a very exotic look. You are pretty but your face is a bit on the "ordinary" side for fashion. Third, you are probably too old to start - most fashion models start their careers at 12 or 13 - before they've even finished puberty.
Now, as I said, there are many other kinds of models: glamour, catalog, and adult are three obvious categories, with sub-categories under each, and you certainly could make a living there - but don't expect anything remotely approaching fashion model pay, or being flown around the world for shoots. That kind of career is usually limited to less than 50 women (out of more than 3 billion) in the world at any one time, so it's a very RARE situation.138|51|0

Travelling the Alcan Hyway is so lonesome, awesome and amazing. We left Watson Lake in the rain & fog and wondered about the next 500kms...what would the road be like, would there be gas, what would lay ahead? The first surprise was the road....it felt like driving on the Gatineau Park driveway. Wide swaths of cut grass on both sides and the pavement was excellent. Then we saw a brown bear at the side of the road eating road kill. No, it wasn't Paddington bear, it was Mr Grizzly who looked at me as though he could care less.
We travelled through 3 herds of Buffalo grazing on the side of the road and had to watch for Elk because they didn't seem to care about highway or cars. The road through the Rocky Mountains was windy and hilly and narrow, but the scenery was absolutely wonderful. Nobody ever talks about this part of the trip...Muncho Lake can equal Banff for beauty and drama.
My computer won't permit me to upload photos for some reason. I'll try again at the next campsite....griz eating carrion is worth the effort. Next stop with a stronger signal, I'll upload some photos. We are in Fort Nelson, a busy town which services the north (mining, lumber & tourist industries). The Laird highway goes to Fort Simpson in the Northwest Territories.....man, we are in the limber lost of the great North of British Columbia.
Next stop....Dawson Creek and mile #1 of the Alaska Highway.

Out of the Office
Out of the Office
When I am not in the office, I am usually with my animals or practicing yoga (or both). Here's more about that.
Since summer 2012, I have taught yoga at Take Yoga studios. Teaching yoga and teaching philosophy can be remarkably similar activities. For both, my priorities are creating space for students to practice the skills needed to grow beyond their current capabilities and offering the right tools to help them learn. In the yoga classroom, the growth is physical as well as intellectual and emotional, but the skills needed to cultivate a personal yoga practice are not that different from those needed to cultivate the kind of critical thinking that leads to successful philosophy: patience, dedication, and a curiosity about one's self and one's place in the world. The ability to fail gracefully never hurts, either.

By David Means
164 pp. Faber & Faber. $23
In 2007, the anthropologist Mary Douglas published a groundbreaking, if little-noticed, book, "Thinking in Circles," which argued that many seemingly disjointed, chaotic or arbitrarily organized ancient narratives — for example, the Book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible — are carefully designed to be read in a circular, rather than linear, form. A circular or "ring" narrative is one in which events come to a decisive point in the middle and then lead back, in parallel fashion, to the point of entry: ABCBA. Unlike a conventional (we might say ABCDE) narrative, which builds to a world-altering climax near the end, a ring narrative appears symmetrical and "exhaustively coherent," like a snowflake. "When every element in the composition interacts with all the others," Douglas writes, "and nothing is extraneous or unnecessary, everything contributes to embellish the pattern."
Though Douglas doesn't say so explicitly, there is at least one analogue to the ring narrative in contemporary writing: the short story. As in a classical ring, a story's ending often seems to return to its beginning; we experience a disconcerting feeling that while our perceptions have changed, the world of the story has not. There is rarely space for sustained plot, and if change occurs, it has been anticipated in advance and often takes definitive form only after the story's end. This sense of inevitability makes a great story almost unbearably intense. The moment we begin, the end looms up like a wall coming toward us at highway speed.
As a practitioner of this particular form of narrative whiplash, David Means is a radical among radicals. Most story writers make a pretense of beginning in one place and ending in another; in his new collection, "The Spot," as in all of his work, Means hardly ever bothers. Typically his stories contain only one event — a bank robbery, a crucifixion, an unauthorized and highly improper burial — that forms the plot's alpha and omega, its opening and closing, all at once. Rather than moving in linear time, the narration pirouettes again and again around that one point. Reading his work, we feel that whatever has occurred cannot be undone or bargained away; it can only be magnified, interpreted, expostulated upon. If there is a sense of growth here, it is of an organic, inhuman kind, the way scar tissue gnarls over a wound, or a tree grows a new layer of bark after a forest fire, sealing the evidence within the rings.
I invoke these natural metaphors because Means's work is saturated by a particular set of American landscapes: an arc running from the shores of Lake Michigan east through Michigan, Ohio, upstate New York and down the Hudson Valley through the river towns (Means himself lives in Nyack), occasionally as far south as Manhattan. It's a truism to say that place can be a "character" in a story, which would mean, supposedly, that it has agency or free will. In Means's stories place is just the opposite — a determinant, a given, in which human beings play a notable, but ultimately incidental, role. A whole subset of his fiction revolves around all-but-anonymous vagrants, rail-riders, hitchhikers and small-time criminals who regale one another with stories of past adventures just as they prepare to knife a victim or dispose of a body. Means treats these characters as interchangeable aspects of a changeless scene, or as he writes in "The Gulch," as SAWTH, Serious Accidents Waiting To Happen:
"There were — any policeman could tell you — those who were preordained to fiery deaths, those most certain to be found frozen in a ditch outside of town, those whose future lay out there like a bear trap, ready to snap shut when just the right amount of pressure was applied."
But while we might feel comfortable — perhaps too comfortable — seeing these drifters and lowlifes as passing figures glimpsed from a train window, landscape plays just as prominent a role in "Reading Chekhov," in which a young seminarian has a brief affair with a married church insurance adjuster who works in the same building in upper Manhattan:
"Never mutual, the fact that one must suffer more than the other, however preordained, seemed startling. Ginkgo nuts fell early from trees along Claremont Avenue — the drought had urged the season forward — and a man collected them in a cloth sack, working slowly in the heat, plucking them up one at a time."
There's nothing new about this technique — a restatement of the Imagist credo that meaning is found only in things themselves — and it would be easy to mistake Means, on a sentence-by-sentence level, for a traditional writer of realist fiction. But to read "The Spot" in its entirety, or his previous, equally virtuosic collections "Assorted Fire Events" and "The Secret Goldfish," is to see a writer with a sensibility that owes more to Beckett: a God-like disinclination to see his characters as anything more than case studies, or as he puts it in the title story, "one more textbook case of discard and loss, another suicide fished out of the waters" or, in "The Junction," "just a snoring mound up in the weeds."
In the aggregate, though, as powerful as Means's work is, this kind of existential certainty can begin to feel reflexive and repetitive, a bit of an aesthetic tic. Sometimes in powerfully formed collections one uncharacteristic story can throw the rest of the book into sharp relief, and this is the case here with "A River in Egypt," in which a young father from a New York suburb takes his son to the hospital to be tested for cystic fibrosis. Cavanaugh, the father, has things Means only very rarely gives his characters — a job, a family, an identifiable speaking voice, ordinary domestic concerns and irritations — and as a result we begin to wince and shudder in a very familiar way as he makes a disastrous and humiliating mess of things, only prolonging the agony of the final positive diagnosis. It's hard not to look at this story, which not only risks sentimentality but exults in it, and wonder if we are supposed to see Cavanaugh, too, as a case of "discard and loss," and if not, why only he, out of the 13 protagonists here, deserves the privilege of a distinct humanness.Continue reading the main story
This isn't so much a critique of Means's work to date as a question about what he will do next, having written, in the last two decades, three collections that speak with one immutable voice. So recognizable and absolute is a David Means story that it invokes the warning Mary Douglas gives about ring narratives in our time: "If a culture is . . . heavily against boundaries, rules and closures as such, the ring shape would seem too formal, artificial, mechanical. . . . Instead of being taken for granted as a normal thing, the very idea of closure is felt to be ambiguous. Is it not better to remain open?" Perhaps this is an unfair question, an expression of our current cultural restlessness and thirst for novelty, but I must ask: having already put a decisive stamp on the American short story, can David Means unbind the strictures he has devised, and find a new way of coming full circle?

So, hello everyone I am pursuing this great woman. I just can't figure out what she wants?
I mean we work at the same place so I usually buy coffee for her in the morning and other small stuff.
We have a coffee shop near by and whenever I need her there, she comes. Whenever I give her a lunch or dinner to surprise her, she hugs me more than few seconds.
I have been brutally honest and told her I like her more than a friend via text. She reacted very pleasantly the next time I saw her. I told her your reaction is a good sign for me but you would have to confirm that by giving me second date's time and date.
She said she would let me know. When its more than week without going on a date, she tells me that she has been looking at the schedule and trying to figuring out days on her own as I don't ask her. I told her I have a deadline for myself by so and so date, if she doesn't come up with a date before it, I will move on.
I have no problem with it, I understand we all have a life and life can be really a bitch when we really want to be with someone but it just doesn't allow it to happen.
She answers my direct questions on the phone. Or she will text me sorry, I missed your call for blah blah. Its cool. she just doesn't try to have a conversation with me. I mean wouldn't you like to know a person?
Basically she is silent on the phone but very very interested when we are in person. Wtf Is that? I don't like it when I am not in full control of my life. I really like her but I am tired of mixed signals. I just don't know what to do?
Most Helpful Girl
Some girls can be like guys in this instance. I say that because my boyfriend and I can carry on really good in depth conversations in person but when we text or are on the phone the conversation seems dry. Maybe she is one of the "in-person" type of people? I wouldn't worry about it to much. If she's interested great... she is looking at dates... and if she's not then there's always someone else out there. Try not to worry about it to much.00|00|0

Remember Ayodele Daniel Dada, the genius who graduated with a 5.0 CGPA from the University of Lagos? He is dishing details about how he was able to achieve the feat and also revealed that all those who promised to help him never did.
Speaking in an interview with Channels Television programme, 'Rubbin Minds' with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the genius who graduated from University of Lagos with a 5.0 CGPA, Ayodele Daniel Dada, has disclosed that he got nothing from billionaire businessman, Sujimoto and the US-based singer, Dencia, who both promised him luxury apartment for achieving his record feat.
"No, I haven't, at all," he told Ebuka in new episode of Rubbin Minds.
It can be recalled that popular Cool FM Lagos OAP, Daddy Freeze in an Instagram post, called on top companies and telecoms to come to the young graduate's aid after he learned that Dada's rent had expired.
Days later, the OAP wrote an elaborate post, confirming that Sujimoto Construction Company had promised to take care of the graduate's shelter.
"I just got off the phone with @sujimoto81 who was very enthusiastic about @ayodeledanieldada and in his exact words he said, Never again in the history of this country would the talent of a young man/lady be left without helping him attain it's full potential," Daddy Freeze said back then.
"Earlier on, I read that @iamdencia offered to help with his rent," the OAP added.

Glu-Size evens out uneven stain penetration to prevent splotching when using alcohol-soluble dyes. It is usually diluted 1:1 with water. Apply by spray, brush, rag, roller or sponge. Let dry 24 hours before subsequent finishing operations. Other uses for this product — when applied to fuzzy woods like mahogany & pine, it locks the fiber in place so that a smooth sanded surface results. It seals end grain to prevent it from darkening too much when using stain.

|From the episode:
|The Boys in the Band
|Stewie Griffin
|Seth MacFarlane
"Little Box" is sung by Stewie and Brian at Cheesie Charlie's after they form a children's band in "The Boys in the Band" and start performing at various gigs. Stewie is inspired to write and perform songs about issues that babies really care about when he gets tired of insipid adult singers that fail to do so.
Stewie: There's a little metal box at the top of the stairs
In the back of the closet and a tiny little key
That's hidden in the book in the drawer with the socks
And I know how to use it to open up the box
Together: And that's where the gun is

The secretary-general of the Organization of American States will travel to Paraguay to this week look into the ouster of President Fernando Lugo.
José Miguel Insulza said on Tuesday his fact-finding mission would include meetings with top-level officials, as well as Lugo, who was impeached by Paraguay's Congress in a matter of hours last Friday.
"I consider it my duty to gather all the background so that this (OAS) Permanent Council can take its decisions, and I also consider it my duty to hear the point of view of Paraguay and of other countries," Insulza said in a statement.
Insulza said he hoped to report back to the OAS next week.
He told a special session of the group's Permanent Council the objective of the organization during a crisis was to promote normal processes and to ensure that next year's elections in Paraguay were "carried out properly."
The 35-member OAS has in the past found diplomatic solutions to tricky regional issues.
Lugo's ouster has prompted criticism and sanctions abroad but the U.S. State Department is not calling it a coup because constitutional procedures were followed, spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
"The concerns that we've had, as we said, were that the process seemed to be extremely speedy," Nuland said. "I think we'll make our final conclusions on all of this as we see how the OAS comes forward."
Paraguayan lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to remove Lugo for failing to keep the peace after 17 police officers and peasant farmers died in clashes over a land eviction. The leftist leader was a year from completing a five-year term.
His former vice president and one of his harshest critics, Federico Franco, replaced him as president.
