The owners were hospitable and accommodating since I asked my first inquiry until our departure from Bantayan. I had a lot of requests and they catered to each one without hesitation. We wanted to cook our own food but they don't allow cooking inside the units so they let us use their stove inside their store. We were also able to store food in their fridge. Rice cooker was provided. TV and wifi were available. The units look brand new. Clean and stylish. We were a large group of 14 people and rooms were more than enough for us. They even placed a kawayan sofa outside the unit on our first night so we can have our drinking session. We had a crazy night partly because we never felt like we had restrictions. The area is big, the neighbors won't be disturbed by our loudness and silliness. Arman, the owner, was also cool about everything. We used their car service for the whole duration of our stay which is very convenient. We were able to go to the places in our itinerary without hassle. Arman is very friendly. He was also game when we had our photoshoots. He volunteered to hold the reflector so we can get great shots. On our last day, he drove us to the port and waited for us to get tickets first before leaving. I would recommend this place to everyone who wants to visit Bantayan because our short vacation wouldn't be as wonderful if not because of our choice to stay their and of Arman and his wife.JezzaApril 2017
Un restaurant juste à côté et aux alentours par la grande route un petit ensemble bar-restau. Cadre agréable et sans touristes, idéal pour 2 jours off avant d'aller sur une autre île ! Peu d'intérêt touristique.JeanneMarch 2017
It was a very nice stay! Kuya Marvin, the caretaker was very accommodating and very welcoming, the place was cheap for a beach front accommodation, very clean. I'll definitely come backMickaMarch 2017
This place is very near to the port and the location is very nice and peaceful. The staff at the property were very nice and accomodating. Super enjoyable experience :)Rose March 2017
The hut is very clean and comfortable, with decent air conditioning and good water pressure (no hot water). The location is wonderful, right in front of a white sand beach that is very private and perfect for beach bumming and swimming. The staff is all very friendly and helpful, and always on call. Only downside is they have no restaurant but are mere meters away from another resort that has good food and value-oriented prices. All in all, we had an amazing and relaxing stay. Just what we needed! Plus, staying here with a 1.5 year old was not a problem at all. Kudos to the management!Brian March 2017
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed staying here! Very secluded and quiet yet very close to restaurants and nightlife. The staff was very friendly and helpful! I'll definitely consider staying here again the next time I'm in bantayan island.BidemiMarch 2017
Really nice place next to the beach and walking distance to Santa FeDanFebruary 2017
Great place to be left alone.. Great for big families! Not a lot of people, which i loved! Great service.. Great host! Ive already recommended u to friends... Will come back in future..MaxxMarch 2017

They were very accommodating! :)CarlottaFebruary 2017
The room is small and basic but be very clean and comfortable. The view to the near beach where the sun rises amazes you in the morning. You share shower and toilet with other guests. It was always clean and taken care of. Bibi (host) is a very kind woman, gave me valuable tips and even invited my to her birthday party where I had a great time with her employees and family. The accommodation is very central but fortunately quiet. Bibi has a small store where you get beer, can refill your water and get cigarettes and so. Bibi also offers motorcycle rental for 250php/day and has boats you can use for island hopping. She also owns at least one karaoke machine! She is a very hearty woman and made my stay at here house a very special one. You can ask her for help 24/7! :) thank you for having me, Bibi! I hope to be back sometime :)Johannes LeonhardMarch 2017
Very nice place! Try by yourself! Good room and perfect location! We will come back :)MaxFebruary 2017
Ate Lucia's home was extremely nice, and very cool. We only booked a fan room but that was more than enough. We came in at 6am and still ate lucia allowed us to checkin to have our island hopping at 7am! She pre-arranged all of our activities in Bantayan Island. One of the best hosts we've ever had hands downGemroseMarch 2017
Hello ate Lucia ! Your place is so homey. We'll love to come back soon with the squad.Crystal GenevieveDecember 2016
Bantayan is paradise, and our stay with ate Lucia was big plus. When we arrived, it felt exactly what we wanted the location is strategic its just few walks to the beach and the room has windows facing the beach. AC is not a necessity when staying in a place near the beach since it's already cold at night. Their family is very welcoming and accommodating. They let us use the kitchen. We learned to ride the scooter for the first time. Although, we got into an accident and damaged their scooter ate Lucia was very considerate, we made some arrangements with her, she is very understanding. Will surely go back to their place. Their place is highly recommendable.ChareleanJanuary 2017
Great place if u are a budget traveller. Very nice staff and good location . I really recommend this place:)katarinaFebruary 2017
Guest house trés familial on retrouve le partage du début d'RBNB avant que ça devienne en partie trop commercial. Lucia et sa famille vous font profiter de Santa Fé comme un local. bien située ce n'est pas la plage des plus grands resorts donc tranquille on peut venir du port à pied tout est est à proximité Attention pas d'eau chaude ds la sdb comme presque partout aux Philippines un trés très bon rapport qualité prix; J'y retourne bientôtgaëlJanuary 2017

This is a great quiet place to enjoy the sea and its bountiful produce. Accomodation is even better than expected, being right on the beach. You can watch the fishing boats come in , then buy the fresh seafood nearby and cook up a feast each day. Criselsa and Joe are great hosts and help to make our stay enjoyable. Being picked up at the ferry made our arrival stress-free. We love it here and will be back.PeterOctober 2016
Ms. Crissy has been a wonderful host to us. The beachfront apartment has a complete set of kitchen utensils which made it easier for us to cook our lunch and dinner. There are also books and DVDs available inside the apartment. She even drove us from and to the port which made us feel welcomed to the beautiful island of Bantayan. Although they just live beside the AirBNB unit, they made sure that we can still feel the privacy we needed. She also helped us and made it convenient for us to rent a motorcycle. The unit is near the Baigad Wharf hence, the boatman was able to drop us off in front of the place where the apartment was located. Will definitely book again when we go back to Bantayan Island.Mary GraceNovember 2016
Crissy and joe were amazing hosts and their place is beautiful! We felt right at home :) crissy even took the time to show us around and was always there if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this place and would no doubt stay there again in the future.AlyaziaFebruary 2017
Beautiful stay! Thank you :-) Looking forward toreturnJennifer November 2016
Nice place! Great value! Will definitely come back.Marc KhenzoFebruary 2017
Chrissie is a great host, great communication and even picked us up and dropped us off at the port. The apartment is clean and tidy and as described. We had a great time and Chrissie provided a motorbike for rent to explore the island which is the best way to see this wonderful island. An excellent stay, we will miss Chrissie and the kids.jasmineFebruary 2017
A beautiful and immaculately kept apartment on a stunning island. Our host was incredibly helpful and friendly, Chrissy was kind enough to pick us up and drop us off at the ferry terminal, and arranged us a hire moped that arrived at our doorstep.claireMarch 2017
Criselda was an awesome host! Very responsive i and helpful in everything from the time we arrived at Santa Fe port until the time we left. The place was sparkling clean and complete with all you need to survive. It felt like a second home to us! I love the kitchen with complete cooking equipments and utensils (microwave oven, toaster, kettle, gas stove, pans & pots, knives, plates, and spoon and fork) that's why we cooked our meals during our stay to maximize the place. One suggestion though is to put some small rags to be used to clean the sink and kitchen top from food mess or spilled liquids/sauces. It's a beachfront property so waking up to the wonderful beach view was one of the best experiences we had. Crissy guided us in everything and we were more than grateful we've chosen her place. Thank you so much Crissy and regards to your beautiful family! :)MicciNovember 2016
The bungalow was very clean and well equipped, comfy and secure. We had trouble finding the location as there is no proper address given apart from street name. There was building work going on out the back and side of the building which started at 8am. If you need anything then the caretaker lives opposite the accommodation. I recommend as you can see the sea from the road so short walk to the beach and short walk to the market and restaurants.MeganMarch 2017
Una casa a dos pasos de la zona comercial. Super limpia con su baño privado en la habitación, una pequeña sala de estar y una cocina. Solo a dos calles de la playa. La anfitriona super amable, la chica que limpia también y los vecinos muy simpáticos y atentos. Nuestros días han sido maravillosos, no sólo por el alojamiento, también por la hospitalidad. Neriza muchas gracias, nosotros volveremos. SaludosNandaMarch 2017
We had an amazing stay at Neriza's house. Neriza was very helpful, as was the house keeper Flores. The location was ideal, 2 minutes walk from the beach and 5 minutes walk from bars and restaurants. Super clean and spacious house and it had everything we needed for a great stay in Santa Fe. I would definitely stay here again!AndrewFebruary 2017
Nos sentimos muy cómodos en esta casa en Santa Fe. Se encuentra en el centro del pueblo pero a la vez alejada del ruido de la calle principal. Muy amplia y decorada muy bonito, ideal para llevar a la familia. Cuenta con todo lo necesario para una buena estancia, súper cerca de la playa:) El propietario muy atento a todo lo que necesitamos, si algo estuvo mal se encargó de corregirlo lo más pronto posible. 100% recomendable!FranciscoApril 2017
Tres bon séjour ! Maison parfaite pour une semaine à Santa Fe en couple! Central et bien animé! Tous les voisins sont adorables! Propreté parfait!LouiseJanuary 2017
I stayed have for about a week with my wife and two kids. It was a very nice place to stay. Close to beaches and downtown area. No real problems. Good value. Glad we choose over staying at the beach.scottJanuary 2017
This place is very good! I enjoyed staying! Thank you!MasashiJanuary 2017
Замечательный дом.Рядом и правда красивый пляж, рестораны, рынок, остановочный пункт.Доброжелательные и отзывчивые соседи. Флорес, которая присматривала за домом и ее семья, люди которых мы ни когда не забудем! Они подарили нам кучу приятных и незабываемых эмоций. Угощали нас национальными блюдами, водили на местные праздники. А так просмотрев весь остров могу смело написать,что район Санта Фе самый красивый и живописный. Совет: Обязательно попробуйте местные булочки,они продаются везде и достаточно недорогие, а так-же свинину и курицу на гриле.КристинаFebruary 2017

This place probably is the best one I've booked in Airbnb. The rooms are very spacious. Everything was clean. The place was tastefully designed that fits those who travel in groups. Rakhma was very accommodating and helpful. And oh, the view? That scenic sunrise by the cliff? Breathtaking. We'll definitely come back and swim beside the cliff and explore more of Bantayan!AiaNovember 2016
Staying in Joseph's place was totally awesome. Great house and view.GeomariJanuary 2017
Peaceful, gorgeous view of the ocean from the windows and balcony. Master bedroom was a (URL HIDDEN) much space!JulietMarch 2017
Amazing location, house looks exactly like the photos, is functional and an amazing little getaway spot overlooking paradise blue ocean waters!! Couldn't fault it!NicholaDecember 2016
Joseph was very responsive from the beginning. He arranged someone to come greet us at the ferry terminal in Santa Fe and lead the way to paradise. The house is beautiful just like in the pictures. We had the upstairs unit which has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. They helped us hire a boat for the day to take us island hopping. Anything we asked for was taken care of with a smile... I would definitely recommend this place! Thank you JosephAviSeptember 2016
Fantastic house with a beautiful view. Very big and modern house. Everything was perfect. I can recommend any other airbnb traveller to stay at this house as well. :)RogerNovember 2016
We had a pleasant stay at Joseph's place. We had the beach as our backyard. Daniel, Joseph and Judith were very accomodating. They even refunded our first night because all trips were cancelled from Hagynaya Port to Sta Fe port due to the typhoon (Auring). Place was neat, the hosts made sure we had everything we needed. Our tricycle driver (Bryan) was really nice too, he helped us get in and around Bantayan island. Well worth it.RockyJanuary 2017
Next door to Ogtong Cave Beach Club which is a good thing. Only php100 entrance fee to Ogtong and they have a restaurant. Food is priced from 100 to 500. Very reasonable. 1min walk to beach with fine white sand but a lot of rocks. Renting a motorbike is a must. Rooms are very cozy, we felt at home. In fact better than our houses in Manila. Will definitely recommend this place. You can opt to stay here for a night then proceed to Mayet's which is a beach front resort. The owner is a foreigner so English is the only language you can use but wife is Filipina so you can communicate in vernacular.FiMarch 2017

Michał is very nice and kind! My friend and I really enjoyed spending time with him, he is such a good tourist who showed us a lot of places and told us stories about Bantayan. We had a city tour and boat trip which were all perfect! As for the home stay, it was quite and not hot at all. The room is clean and comfortable. You can live with the native community! Michał also invited us to go to see the movie which was played by his friend. Thank you again, see you next time!柏文May 2016
My stay in Michal's place was amazing. If you are searching and wanna discover more deeply the Philippines culture that's the place. Michal picked me up from the Port, great service. The room is big and well organized, big bathroom with warm water. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone. I hope I could come back one day, I also have found 2 great friends there, thank you Michal and Macheck, hope to see you soon! CheersBenniJune 2016
Staying with Michal and his family is an extremely amazing experience. Michal was very accommodating and kind. He made sure we're comfortable, and even took us back and forth Bantayan Market at no expense. I spent my 25th birthday there and I must say it was the most unforgettable and memorable birthday I had, spending it with Michal and his family and friends! They even sang the Pollish version of Happy Birthday for me. Can't wait to go back and bring my friends with me! I know for sure they'll enjoy it as much as I did. NA ZDROWIE! :DKatrinaSeptember 2016
The best decision you could make is to stay at Michal's place!! Michal is the greatest host, he took care of us like family and went over and beyond making sure we were comfortable. He arranged a boat for us to Virgin Island, took us fishing, and gave us a scooter to rent for a great price. He really does everything out of the kindness of his heart and for the people in his village. You will be staying in his family's village so this will be a true experience of the Philippines. Bantayan is a beautiful island and you will love it! We planned to stay for 3 nights and ended up staying for 8! The bed is comfortable, there is hot water, and the hammock is great. Thank you Michal!! We hope to be back soon.KaylaAugust 2016
Josie and myself thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Bantayan island . Michal and his wife and kids were a lovely family and were very helpful to us. The room was basic but comfortable and exactly what we were looking for in a native home stay. I would happily recommend a stay with Michal and his family.StevenJune 2016
We stayed 2 nights at Michals authentic and local house. The small bamboo houses in his garden are simple but clean and cozy. Originally the plan was to go on a trip with Michals fisher boat. Because of a tropical storm we had to change our plans and Michal brought us to Bantayan city to visit the market and church and to buy fish, vegetables and fruits. Den-Den, Michals wife cooked us a so delicious dinner with the things we bought. If you want to see some real local life and you don't want to miss all comfort, stay some nights in Michals small town outside of Santa Fe. We really enjoyed it and can recommend the place.TinaNovember 2016
Michal was an excellent host. He helped us to enjoy the trip by giving good advices on what to do, as well as to make or staying unforgettable. The place was what I expected, clean, natural and beautiful.VeronicaAugust 2016
班塔延岛是个好地方,尤其是遇到米歇尔这样的房东,他帮我们组织了摩托车环岛游和处女岛游,并介绍了菲律宾的美食,通过他的,初来咋到菲律宾,感觉安全和舒适。米歇尔不仅是很好的房东,也是很好的导游。Thanks Michael.义平November 2016

Nona's place is amazing!!! Truly comfortable and peaceful. We'd definitely go back! Thanks Nona!!!CarinaMarch 2017
Nona's place is beautiful! It is located outside of the tourist heavy region, but it is only a 10 minute walk to the main strip for food and drinks. Noise was never a problem and I slept well every night. Nona was also very helpful in offering to help me organize everything I needed. Given you are okay with a short walk or trike ride to get food, I highly recommend staying here!JoshuaMarch 2017

It was pretty great!! The rooms are so clean, fashionable, cozy, inexpensive, and so on. Arman, he is really nice guy. I'm gonna stay again!HyumaMarch 2017
My friends and I stayed for two days and one night. Although there was a bit distance from the house to the port (10-15 mins travel) but becsuse of it, you can see more of Bantayan rather than having a place near just near the port. Also, Arman helped us with our transportation at a very affordable price. Inside the compound, they also have a store wherein you can buy your necessities. Arman allowed us to cook there for our breakfast and he even helped us prepare our food. The host was kind enough to tour us around the island the next day (this was included with the transportation that we paid). There were four of us and two of them were Europeans. We really appreciate how kind Arman as our host. He is really nice and personally, it felt more of visiting a Filipino relative. I highly recommend this place! The house was perfect for a mini gateaway. It is suitable for everyone; families, group of friends or even couples will surely enjoy their stay. What we love about the house is that it is really comfortable and it has a homey feeling. I fell in love with the island and staying at this place made it more special.Angelene MaeApril 2017

Lucia's family is absolutely wonderful! The room is simple but we had a great time with them. We would definitely recommend this place if you visit Santa Fe. Nous avons passé un très beau séjour grâce à Lucia et toute sa famille. Ce sont des personnes accueillantes qui nous ont fait découvrir la culture philippine de l'intérieur avec une grande générosité. La chambre est sommaire mais n'hésitez pas à y faire un tour si vous passez par Santa Fé.ManuellaFebruary 2017
Great location close to everything and hosts are good peopleChrisFebruary 2017
Nice place near the beach. Helpful kind family running the place. The prices in their store are some of the best in town for water, beer etc The room we booked was not available the day we booked it for and we were accommodated in another room for a discounted rate. Once we moved into the room we booked, no problems. Good AC, bed is comfortable. Location is basically on the beach and only a few minutes walk to lots of restaurants and shops. Someone was always available to answer questions or whatever we needed.SarahFebruary 2017

Ma'am Lucia and all her staff was very accommodating. They assist quickly with your inquiry and the place is close to the beach and we never had a problem roaming around the place since they have a motorbike to rent and was affordable for a day use. I would love to back here but It would be best to have a reliable internet connection.SaiFebruary 2017

Felt like home in Jena's place. She is very accommodating and readily answered all our questions.AlyssaOctober 2016
Jena was very accommdating during my two-night stay. The room was very small but was just enough to lay out my stuff on the floor. Perhaps it would be too small for more than one person staying together. The downsides were that the power outlet in the room was too high up and the shared bathroom didnt have a working sink faucet which made it challenging to brush your teeth or wash your face. Overall cleanliness of bathroom could be also be improved. Location was great and very central to restaurants and the beach.KhanhDecember 2015
Jena was very accommodating and easy to get along with. The place- a few minutes from the beach and to the food strips around. Room ventilation was okay (It was November, so the breeze is colder). Plus, you get to choose your breakfast, for free! :)Kaye CelineNovember 2016
The place is perfect for solo travelers/backpackers on a budget who are just looking for a place to sleep-in at night and explore the nearby attractions in the day. It's walking distance to the market and the bars and restaurants. You can easily ride a tricycle or pedicab to go to the nearest beach. Ms. Jena was very nice and accomodating and gave me tips on how to go around the island.JamieFebruary 2017
Very good location - just a few minutes walk to different restaurants and the beach. People are very kind, friendly, and accommodating. The room itself is good for two people and has enough power outlets. The only problem that we had during our stay was the electric fan didn't produce enough air to beat the heat. All in all, we loved the place (and the breakfast), felt at home, and enjoyed our stay.PaulieneDecember 2016
The place is best for group of people who are on a tight budget. It offers a "homie" ambiance. Jena is such an approachable person and very down to Earth. She makes conversations with her guests and truly makes you feel you have a home away from home. The next time I visit Bantayan, I'll make sure to book with Jena again.BeeApril 2017
jena.s very accomodating and friendlycharlette joyDecember 2016
I only stayed at Jena's place for 2 days and 1 night but this place's greatest advantage is definitely location. It's about a 3 minute walk from the nearest beach and a short tricycle ride from Hagnaya port! There also seemed to be a steady availability of tricycles and motorcycles passing by so it should be easy to get anywhere. Jena was very helpful too. She gave me advice on popular places to visit nearby and on my plans for the rest of my time in Cebu. Very responsive to messages, which was great. She even rents out bicycles and sells water and other essentials. A huge bonus: part of the proceeds of booking here go towards feeding malnourished children in Cebu and disaster affected areas. I did get hungry around 9:30pm and walked outside to see if I could see any restaurants or convienence stores nearby but the streets were pretty dead by that time. I would ask for Jena's advice on places to eat when you arrive. Some important things to consider if you would like to book here: -no air con but there were two large fans in my room which was enough for me -There was no mosquito net so I closed up my windows before night fall but mosquitos still had a feast of me so make sure to bring/use repellant (I didn't use any) Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for all the advice Jena!AlexJuly 2016

Re: the "death" of the SVT Lightning
This is interesting, I just received this email from SVTOA. I'm wondering if they did the same thing for the SVT Focus or Contour, or did they not care when those models got axed since they don't have the same visibility that the Lightning or Cobra has? Maybe they did and it was before I was a member, but it makes me feel something along the lines of "thanks a lot, you'll try to save the Lightning but the Focus you won't bother with?"
What's That You Say? SVT Lightning Update
November 4, 2004
Dear SVTOA member,
The SVT Lightning has been featured in several publications recently. For more information, please visit the following websites:

SVT Lightning Owners and SVTOA Members: We Give You a Voice
Many of you will recall that this decision comes from the same company that once wanted to pull the Mustang! We mention this because Ford owners like you turned that decision around by making phone calls and sending faxes, letters and email to Ford Motor Company. Work with SVTOA now to do the same thing for the SVT Lightning. We need your feedback so that we can take your comments straight to the decision makers within Ford Motor Company. Sometimes automotive companies make decisions that we don't agree with; help us change their minds by letting them know what you think about putting the SVT Lightning on the shelf by:

Well, you have the email address. Email them to save the SVT Focus!!!
Hmm... I think it's a little late for that.
People are upset about the Lightning because Ford had signalled it's intentions to produce a new Lightning based on the fresh F150 (even showing off a concept) and then abruptly decided to cancel the program. Maybe that's why no one was as upset as they are now when the Focus was canned, because Ford hadn't given any indication that a better SVT Focus was on it's way.
Mmmmm catherine bell .......drool.............
Anyway, ford obviously has some asshats running the show, I will wait it out and see what happens.
I don't see them canceling the lighting..
#3788 InfraRed SVT
Hill <><
Catherine Bell has the magical powers to distract anyone in her path...
As for asshats, I'm starting to think that. I mean they got the new Mustang, good job on that, certainly a nice car. But they killed the Lightning?? What the hell are they thinking? I can understand killing the SVT Focus, it wasn't exactly flying out the door and I have to admit it could have been a much better car, but the Lightning is a well-executed vehicle and the new one looked to be even better. Meanwhile they built the GT, a fantastic halo car but it's starting to seem like they blew all their time money and energy on that and left the rest of the more affordable fun Fords to die.
BTW although I'm peeved that SVTOA is making a big stink about the Lightning but didn't do anything to "save" the Focus, I'm still going to write in with my support for the Lightning. Ford is making some strange decisions lately about performance: they build a car/truck with good potential, that even outperforms the competition, then they let it stagnate while the competition passes them by, and then finally after everyone else has come out with something better, Ford decides rather than jump ahead of the competition again, to just cancel production of the car/truck.

Here's my part in the attempt to save the Lightning from a certain death. If anyone else wants to write to them, I encourage you to do it! The letters/emails go to SVTOA who will present them to Ford. As such you should keep it clean, try to refrain from telling them they have their heads up their butts in those exact words. If you read this you can see that's essentially what I told them, but you get farther by trying to present a compelling argument, as opposed to writing them a letter that says "you guys are a bunch of *******es" -
To whom it may concern:
Motivated by a recent SVTOA mailing urging members to write in with their support of the Lightning, I would like to contribute to the effort as a fellow SVT vehicle owner. SVTOA may use anything I've written to pass along to Ford and has my permission to edit for clarity, spelling, and so forth.
To whom it may concern at Ford Motor Company,
I am writing to you as an SVT owner and automobile enthusiast concerning the decision to "delay" future development of the SVT Lightning based on the new F150 platform. Although I understand that as of now there is no official word that the project has been terminated, I find it frustrating as a performance enthusiast and a backer of Ford that this route has been chosen. Frankly I'm unhappy with several decisions made by the company as of late, not the least of which was the decision to cancel the SVT Focus, the SVT vehicle of my choice. Although not all may take the time to write, I assure you that MANY SVT Focus owners and enthusiasts were disappointed and angered by not only the discontinuation of the vehicle but the lack of development as the model years progressed. What was a car ahead of it's competition was left to fall far behind before finally being "let go" in a rather inglorious end to what had been a good start. Adding to the frustration is the knowledge that other markets (Europe, for example) had access to models such as the turbocharged Focus RS, yet Ford chose to starve it's home country of these best models. Now Europe has a new Focus and is looking forward to new high-performance models and once again we are left with the same old Focus.
Likewise, SVT Lightning owners and enthusiasts are surely upset that the SVT vehicle of their choice is now on the "chopping block." Similar to the SVT Focus situation, Ford has what it needs to bring out a fantastic vehicle but is holding back. The SVT could have made use of the RS parts, but it didn't. The Lightning was already under development - the framework is there, why stop now? The decision to consolidate SVT's efforts into one single model (the Cobra) may be motivated by financial concerns but we fear that there will be much greater financial concerns when potential buyers are forced to look elsewhere for a performance vehicle. What was great about the SVT lineup was that there was a vehicle for cost-conscious enthusiasts (the Focus), one for V8 ponycar enthusiasts (the Cobra), and one for V8 enthusiasts who wanted to be able to haul things around once in awhile (the Lightning). By moving to Cobra production only, all the potential SVT buyers who might have purchased a Focus or a Lightning are going to look to other manufacturer's products. Needless to say, as well, is the fact that companies look to have repeat buyers who "climb the ladder" as their income increases - perhaps in a few years I might have graduated from the SVT Focus to a new SVT Lightning, but now will I be able to or will I go looking at Dodge's SRT products instead?
Image means a lot to the marketing of a company. Ford has always had a good performance image to sell to the public, to bring buyers into the showroom, but lately the decisions seem to be to kill the very cars which project that image. I urge those who make the decisions to reconsider when it comes to the future of the SVT Lightning. Young buyers that might have been captured by the SVT Focus are moving to the Dodge SRT-4 and others. The older buyers that might have purchased an SVT Lightning are going to move to another company as well. The Cobra is nice and I hope the new Cobra will be nicer, but it shouldn't be the ONLY SVT product.
Sincerely yours,
Warren Lukeroth
Focus Addict
Personally, I am strongly considering going back to a Japanese car. I love my car but I don't know. I wish Ford would pull their effing heads out and bring the euro styled cars to the US. The styling is so much better. I just don't understand how it could not save them money to make one design and sell it everywhere. Even the damn Aussies get cooler cars than we do. It's just depressing to think that Henry Ford was an American car maker and basically started all this and we can't even get the company to sell us what we want.

Sometimes good neighbours don�t always become good friends. This seems to be the underlying feeling to Kiyoshi Kurosawa�s latest film Creepy. After being stabbed by a suspect, detective Koichi Takakura (Hidetoshi Nishijima) has left the force and has moved to a new suburban neighbourhood with his sweet and friendly wife Yasuko (Yuko Takeuchi) and their dog Max, and has taken a job as a university lecturer in criminal psychology. His old colleague Nogami (Masahiro Higashide) wants to bring him back in on an old case, that of an entire family disappearing six years previously, leaving only the unreliable witness of the teenage daughter Saki (Haruna Kawaguchi) behind. Meanwhile Takakura begins to notice increasingly stranger things about his new neighbour, Masayuki Nishino (Teruyuki Kagawa), particularly the man�s behaviour towards Yasuko.
There�s something delightful about movies that like to peel aside the facade of normality to expose the rot and the sin underneath. Creepy might not be up there with the best examples of this, but it�s still a very well done thriller nonetheless. A key part of this the central performances. Hidetoshi Nishijima is quietly intense as Takakura; clearly wanting to embrace his new life with his wife but drawn back into a case with surprising links in his present. The odd-ball neighbour Nishino is given an unnerving quality by Teruyuki Kagawa that deeply instils in you a feeling that there is something very off about this person. It�s little things; like the slightly stiff way he and his daughter interact, or the fact that he acts somewhat aggressive when his wife is mentioned. Maybe it�s the fact that he�s always wearing shorts; I don�t know about you but I think that after years of Hannibal I expect my creepy guys to be well-dressed. Whatever the reason, every time Nishino is onscreen you are watching him and waiting for what might happen.
There is also some wonderful camera work. The use of stillness at times is vital in a film like this and it is done very well, but also some great flowing shots with one particular moment of an ascending camera shot moving up to look down on Takakura as he puzzles over his next move really sticking out.
The film does ask you to accept a lot of contrivances. What are the odds that a former detective would move next door to someone linked to a closed case that he wasn�t even involved in, and that he has been drawn into at both the urging of an old co-worker and the random curiosity of a new colleague? Also whilst the film twists and turns to pleasing degrees at a slow, but interesting rather than boring, pace, it never manages to throw you a curveball that will shock or startle you. Although, if nothing else, the killer�s body disposal method might gross you out. There are also moments when you just want to scream at Yasuko �Just tell your husband!� as Nishino�s behaviour towards her because more and more sinister.
Squeaky moments aside, Creepy is still well made and a good watch and just might make you think twice before you pop next door to borrow a cup of sugar.

"Time to eat all your words, open your eyes, swallow your pride."
-Tears for Fears
As I've said before, pride can be dangerous, because it gets in the way of us admitting we made a mistake, or asking for help. In other words, pride can keep us from growing.
Is there any doubt that the gentlemen above would have benefited from swallowing their pride and "fessing up" a little sooner? All they did was delay their own forgiveness and ability to move on.
Are their any current issues in your life you could move on from by swallowing your pride?
Last Tuesday I challenged you not to multi-task.
Today I have another simple - but not easy - challenge:
Admit you're wrong about something to someone, or ask for someone's help on something you've been trying to do yourself.
I know it can be pretty uncomfortable, but you can't grow without a little discomfort. It's impossible.
Besides: I GUARANTEE you that you won't choke by swallowing your pride.
On the contrary - I think you'll feel very relieved for it. A lot lighter!
Let me know how you do with this challenge - I'll try to post the most compelling stories.

Girl Scouts are selling cookies at area retailers. Sales started Feb. 20 and will continue through mid-March. Several area stores have agreed to allow the girls to set up outside their doors. The girls are learning money management and math skills while selling cookies at these booths.
Grayson County, and most of Kentucky, is known as "Samoa sellers" because Samoas are the top seller. Across most of the United States, Thin Mints are the top seller.
In addition to those favorites, Tagalongs and Do-Si-Dos, Trefoils and the lemony Savannah Smiles are part of the flavors for this year. An oatmeal-raisin cookie, Rah Rah Raisin, was introduced last year and is still available along with the gluten-free Toffee Tastic flavor.
Girl Scouts are ready to sell if you are willing to buy. Instead of buying to eat, Girl Scouts have an Operation Cookie Project for donations of cookies to our military. This way Girl Scout supporters can support their girls and their soldiers at the same time.
Grayson County troop leaders are Jodie Hester, Joanie Powell, Sam Kimber, Missy Mudd and Deanna Lasley. Ask a Girl Scout about cookie sales or Operation Cookie.

Africa in Fact Issue 13, July 2013: Out of Water
We are mostly made of water and entirely dependent on it. Considering how closely our existence intertwines with water, it is surprising how much we neglect it. For instance, more water is lost worldwide through evaporation from reservoirs than is used for industrial and domestic consumption, according to UNESCO. Yet we continue diverting rivers and building dams. This issue of Africa in Fact explores Africa's water situation.

Nipple loss after breast reduction.
This is an unfortunate occurrence that will ultimate resolve. If all the deep tissues are healthy you will likely heal uneventfully. Some debridement may be needed. At some point you should be switched over to an antibiotic cream. Your surgeon should be more communicative and supportive.
Is there anything positive you can tell me? I'm stressing so bad 4 weeks post op
Than seek paid unperson second opinions and care from another boarded PS. I would accept you as a patient but there would be a fee incurred. Sorry your original surgeon has no feelings toward your issues.
You're still healing. Continue to follow your plastic surgeon's instructions.
Although it can be distressing to see your nipples during this phase of the recovery period, remember that things get worse before they get better when it comes to plastic surgery. The healing process may feel like it's taking a long time, but you'll continue to see improvement in the coming weeks and months. It's difficult to fully ascertain how you're healing without seeing pre-op photos and knowing the specifics of your procedure, but there isn't anything alarming to me based on your photos. Be patient, continue to attend follow-up appointments and follow your plastic surgeon's instructions regarding post-op care.

Areola / Nipple Loss after Breast Surgery
Thank you for your question. I am sorry you have experienced a complication from your breast reduction. It appears that you have some areolar skin necrosis. Most of the time, these wounds will heal and scar in with the proper care. After the scar has matured, scar revision can be done to improve the symmetry of your nipple areola complex. It is unfortunate, but some times it happens. Follow up with your plastic surgeon regularly to ensure your wound is progressing as expected.
Good Day,

Is there anything positive you can tell me after breast reduction complication?
I am sorry to hear about the complication you are experiencing. The most positive thing I can tell you is this: our bodies are miraculous. You may be very pleasantly surprised once the open wounds heal plus/minus revisionary surgery to improve scars and reconstruct the nipple/areola complexes as needed. Do your best to stay emotionally even keeled, continue dressing changes as instructed, and continue close/frequent follow-up with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Unlocking the strategic potential of the MPA Strategic development for 2013
Grow magazines share of advertising adspend by 1 percentage point* * ASA measured adspend 2
The Process Redefine our organisational identity Develop a single organising thought that drives all activity to 2015 Distil our messaging Build the tactical roadmap that delivers the vision 3
Objective We believe the MPA can provide the strategic leadership to drive revenue growth - we have the freedom to set the vision. 4
The Problem Magazines are challenged as never before. The relevancy and vitality of magazines are in question. Consumers behaviour has evolved and advertisers are struggling to keep up. 5
The Challenge How can we change the conversation, so that the tide of negativity is abated and pushed out? Our End Point Our vision needs to demonstrate that magazines are continually evolving to overcome perceptions that we are lacking innovation and progressiveness. 6
The Insight "Today, the MPA has been seen as an inward looking administrative body protecting its own interests". There is a lack of clarity in our messaging. And we have had little presence with advertisers. Source: Agency Verbatims 7
The MPA Today Because of this, the lines of responsibility for the MPA are unclear: MPA Sponsors Advertisers Publishers Sales Reps Consumers 8
The MPA Tomorrow A clear role to play to drive ad spend: The frontline The MPA Advertisers Publishers Sponsors 9
The MPA Tomorrow A clear role to play to drive ad spend: The frontline The MPA Advertisers Publishers Sponsors Providing tools/armour for the frontline 10
The MPA Tomorrow A clear role to play to drive ad spend: The frontline The MPA Advertisers Publishers Sponsors Being accountable and unbiased in our representation of our members 11
The MPA Tomorrow A clear role to play to drive ad spend: The frontline The MPA Advertisers Publishers Sponsors Giving them reasons to say yes 12
Evolving the Conversation As an industry we have to commit to evolving the way we talk about ourselves. -Continue the evolution from solely commoditised measurement to meaningful insights -Move from 'selling pages' to 'selling solutions'; -Move from 'defending our patch' to inspiring great work. 13
5 Things We've Learnt #1 Evolution does not mean extinction Fostered by technology, readers are reading more magazines across both digital and print platforms "..rather than abandoning print for digital, consumers exposed to digital editions are expanding their overall print reading repertoire across platforms. 68% have read a magazine on a tablet that they have not previously read in print. 52% have a magazine and/or newspaper repertoire …wider than before they owned a tablet" Key outtake: There is no 'substitution-effect'.

5 Things We've Learnt #2 Adapt and adopt Print advertising is evolving with the addition of multi-media technology. Eg. marie claire has just launched the UK's first NFC enabled ad. New technology will increase magazines appeal to a wider range of advertisers eg. Retailers. Key outtake: There are ongoing opportunities to innovate 15
5 Things We've Learnt #3 Keep your friends close and your enemies closer Magazines make advertising campaigns far more effective, either when used alone, or in conjunction with other media. "..magazines showed a higher average ROI than any other media channel involved, including television, internet and newspapers" "61% of respondents agreed that they were more likely to remember a brand after seeing advertising in magazines as well as TV" Key outtake: Magazines have been and will continue to be a highly effective advertising channel Source: PPA Magonomics 2012, FIPP Proof of Performance 2012 16

5 Things We've Learnt #5 The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts Magazine brands can embrace communities of interest, and can evolve to remain relevant outside our core print vehicle. The benefit for advertisers is that they can reach and engage communities of interest across all magazine brand touchpoints. Key outtake: Only channel where the brand lives beyond the medium into the mindset of consumers Source: FIPP Proof of Performance 2012 18

Sam Sullivan was recently appointed as the official ambassador to the 2010 Paralympics
The Toronto Star has a major piece in this morning's paper claiming that Vancouver's former Mayor Sam Sullivan is in the running to become Canada's next Governor General. According to the Star, federal conservative insiders are telling them Sullivan has the core essentials of what it takes to become the Queen's representative in Canada.
Over the last several weeks I've also heard Sullivan's name being bandied about as a possible successor to Michaelle Jean. During his term as Mayor, Sullivan has several occasions to be invited to Rideau Hall to discuss the GG's role in the 2010 Olympics. Jean and Sullivan were not only cordial to each other, they both passionately shared a common interest in the future of Canada as a player on the international stage.
The Star's Petti Fong does a major piece about one of Canada's most famous flag twirlers and states:
He can speak French, Cantonese and Punjabi and internationally, he may be Canada's most famous flag-waver.
Former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan, known by some critically and others affectionally as Citizen Sam, may add a new title to his roster after being touted as a prospective governor general.
Several sources have told the Star that Sullivan's name has come up as a potential successor to Michaelle Jean.
"It would be the kiss of death for his chances if anyone acknowledges that he's in the running," said one source. "But on paper, he looks near perfect."
I've known Sam for over a decade and he's one of the most well read individuals I know. He most certainly has his critics, however, no one can deny his passion for helping the under priveleged and people with disabilities. As for whether he'll actually become the next Governor General, I think his chances are quite slim - but it remains a possibility. I know for certain it's not something he is actively pursuing.
Most recently the Prime Minister appointed him as the official ambassador to the 2010 Paralympic Games, a role that he seemed to relish. Sullivan pushed hard during his term as Mayor for the equal treatment of both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. He insisted that both flags would fly side by side on the North lawn of City Hall as a symbol of parity between the events.
Fong quotes one source who states:
He may have spent out his political capital, but he doesn't need political capital to be the GG. He's done well since leaving politics and still has backing from influential people.
The Prime Minister is expected to announce Canada's next Governor General in the next few months.

It is not common but when found in early stages, it can often be cured.
As such, regular preventive care is the most important ways to maintain your vaginal health. If you wait to see a doctor only when you notice a problem, it may be too late.
However, the Cancer Society noted few symptoms every woman should consider in relation to vaginal cancer:
Abnormal bleeding through the vagina: Experts stated that abnormal bleeding could happen after douching even when you are not having your menstruation or after intercourse.
Recurrent abnormal discharge: Some women have it in mind that discharge is normal. It is, but not all so if you notice any that is heavy, smelly, with colour or with itching, burning, or swelling please see your doctor.
Watery vaginal discharge or severe pain or bleeding after intercourse: This is an indicator that your cervix needs to be checked.
Lastly, do not ignore any lump or mass in your vagina. Any of these signs indicate that something is wrong somewhere and as such, it should not be neglected. Please see a gynaecologist even if you have been getting regular pap tests.
If it is an infection, it would need to be treated. If it is cancer, ignoring symptoms might allow it to progress to a more advanced stage but when detected early, there are higher chances of effective treatment.

Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea Football Club, is reportedly planning to quit next year as a regional governor in Russia's far east.
"Abramovich is planning to initiate his resignation because he believes he has fulfilled all his tasks," the Interfax agency quoted an unnamed source in the regional administration as saying. "It's on everyone's lips in Chukotka." The source told Interfax that Mr Abramovich, Russia's richest man, could tender his resignation in December and leave his job in the new year.
Kremlin and Chukotka officials could not be contacted for comments. Mr Abramovich's spokesman said by telephone: "I have no information about this."
During Vladimir Putin's presidency, which has seen a campaign against "oligarchs" - Russia's super-rich accused by the Kremlin of neglecting national interests - Mr Abramovich has become a widely cited example of a different approach.
Last year, when a Kremlin- led campaign against the billionaire Mikhail Khodorkovsky landed him in jail for fraud and tax evasion, rumours began to circulate that Mr Abramovich was planning to quit his Chukotka job and leave Russia to base himself in London, where he owns property. But Mr Putin reappointed Mr Abramovich as governor for another five years.
"Normally, he does not have political problems," Vyacheslav Nikonov, the head of the Politika think-tank, said. "Almost certainly this is personal, there is nothing political about this."
The Russian edition of Forbes magazine has estimated Mr Abramovich's wealth - mostly oil and aluminium assets - at £9.7bn.Reuse content

Like-for-like (LFL) sales at the UK's second largest grocer Asda increased by 0.1 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2011, according to a statement released by US parent company Walmart this afternoon.
Operating income for the period was down on last year, with the retailer attributing this to the charges associated with the closure of Asda's defined benefit pension plan and acquisition costs connected to the recent Netto takeover.
Asda's Q1 excludes the Easter and royal wedding bank holiday, which was said to be a particularly strong trading period for the company.
Retailers have found it difficult to provide fair year-on-year sales comparisons in recent months due to the earlier Easter in 2010 and extra bank holidays in 2011. Asda said today that adjusted LFL year-on-year sales grew by 0.8 per cent excluding VAT when the benefit of Easter from the comparable period last year is removed.
During a conference call today, Walmart International President & CEO Doug McMillon praised Asda President and CEO Andy Clarke for "a solid start to the year" and sales growth in Q1.
"Our team in the UK completed its purchase of the 147 Netto stores from Dansk Supermarked in April 2011, which falls in our second fiscal quarter," he added.
"We expect to complete the in-store conversions this year, investing more than £100 million and creating more than 1,500 jobs.
"Two of our leaders in the UK, Asda Chief Financial Officer Judith McKenna and Asda Operations Director Supermarkets Karen Hubbard, have done a great job getting us to this point and we look forward to seeing the results of our conversions and integration."
Wakefield, Worksop, Stainforth were the first three former Netto stores to open with Asda branding earlier this year, as part of a business plan to add 168 new stores to the company's property portfolio in 2011.

Celebrity Reactions To Harper Lee's Death Show 'To Kill A Mockingbird' Shaped The World's Most Powerful People
As the world learned Friday that the author of the beloved novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee, died at the age of 89, tributes and favorite quotes and reflections on the novel and more began to fill the Internet. Among them, the celebrity reactions to Harper Lee's death stood out not because celebrity tweets always stand out to a certain degree but because they convey the scope of Lee's, or at least Mockingbird's, influence. Still taught in most American schools, it's not surprising that many of the world's most famous (and thus wealthiest and, arguably, most powerful) people have read it and were moved by it.
Except, think about it: unless you count last year's Go Set a Watchman, which, depending on who talk to, may be a long-lost prequel or may be a rough draft of TKAM, The New Republic noted, Lee wrote one book. She was not a known writer when she wrote it. In fact, she was a complete unknown from a completely unknown town in Alabama come to New York to try and become a writer. She worked on it for eight years, again, in relative obscurity. Sure, she had high-profile friends. One of Lee's best friends was Truman Capote, on whom Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird seems to be based, and the two are thought to have influenced each other's work tremendously. But mostly only one thing made Lee the literary giant she was: she worked. And 66 years later, on the day of her death, the degree of her impact is very clear. Check out some of the most famous creative people in the world paying their respects to the inimitable Harper Lee:
So sorry to hear about Harper Lee's passing. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was a gift to us all. https://t.co/oqDU2lOcLM pic.twitter.com/TSFPLSwPgs— Katie Couric (@katiecouric) February 19, 2016
