The OECD Health Division is releasing a new series to highlight its work on health policies and data. A new graph will be available each month.
This High-Level Forum will be held at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris on 16 January 2017. Issues include: Harnessing digital technology and data to create proactive, people-centred systems; Overcoming technical, institutional and cultural challenges; Caring for people with complex needs; The importance of measuring what matters to people and to patients, and The role of international and cross-sector collaboration.
La multiplication de médicaments très onéreux et la hausse des prix des médicaments sont à l'origine de pressions de plus en plus lourdes sur les dépenses publiques de santé, et conduisent à remettre en question les stratégies tarifaires de l'industrie pharmaceutique.
We need to better understand what the patients themselves think of health care. The OECD is a global leader in collecting, reporting and benchmarking health system performance and health care quality indicators and OECD's Patient-Reported Indicators Survey (PaRIS) will address critical information gaps and build a patient-centred view of health system performance.
Following a brief pause after the economic crisis, health expenditure is rising again in most OECD countries. Yet, a considerable part of this health expenditure makes little or no contribution to improving people's health. In some cases, it even results in worse health outcomes. Countries could potentially spend significantly less on health care with no impact on health system performance, or on health outcomes. This report systematically reviews strategies put in place by countries to limit ineffective spending and waste. On the clinical front, preventable errors and low-value care are discussed. The operational waste discussion reviews strategies to obtain lower prices for medical goods and to better target the use of expensive inputs. Finally, the report reviews countries experiences in containing administrative costs and integrity violations in health.
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing health and economic threat requiring multipronged responses. The OECD provides a forum for discussion and provide countries with the evidence to implement effective and cost-effective policies to tackle AMR, promote effective use of antimicrobials and incentivise research and development in the antibiotic sector.
In many ways, primary care in Denmark performs well. Danish primary care is trusted and valued by patients, and is relatively inexpensive. But there are important areas where it needs to be strengthened. Most critically, Danish primary care is relatively opaque in terms of the performance data available at local level. Greater transparency is vital in the next phase of reform and sector strengthening.
This publication helps policy makers to better understand annuity products and the guarantees they provide in order to optimise the role that these products can play in financing retirement. Product design is a crucial factor in the potential role of annuity products within the pension system, along with the cost and demand for these products, and the resulting risks that are borne by the annuity providers. Increasingly complex products, however, pose additional challenges concerning consumer protection. Consumers need to be aware of their options and have access to unbiased and comprehensible advice and information about these products.
L'OCDE poursuit des travaux sur les données et les indicateurs de santé en vue d'améliorer les comparaisons à l'échelle internationale et les analyses économiques des systèmes de santé.
Il ressort d'un nouveau rapport conjoint de l'OCDE et de la Commission européenne que de meilleures politiques publiques de santé et de prévention et des soins de santé plus efficaces pourraient contribuer à sauver des centaines de milliers de vies et à économiser plusieurs milliards d'euros chaque année en Europe.

On the Evolution of Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Birds

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in animals are caused by pathogens that are transmitted during copulation. Birds have played an important role in the development of STD-centered theories of mating behavior. However, it is not known whether STDs exist in wild bird populations. While the avian cloaca with its dual functions of gamete transfer and excretion seemingly predisposes birds for the evolution of STDs, the life history patterns of most birds (i.e., seasonal breeders with relatively brief annual periods of sexual activity) suggest otherwise. The importance of STDs as selective forces that shape host biology depends on whether host life history patterns provide the necessary conditions for the evolution and spread of virulent pathogens that rely on host copulation for dispersal. Infrequent dispersal opportunities for microbes that rely on host sexual contact for dispersal should favor the evolution of low pathogen virulence, persistent infection, and lengthened infectious periods. I examine the disease characteristics of documented STDs that are relevant to birds in order to evaluate the (1) importance of STDs as selective forces in birds and (2) ecological conditions in which avian STDs are likely to be discovered. I conclude that socially monogamous short-lived birds with short breeding cycles and altricial nestlings (e.g., temperate zone songbirds) are not likely to have coevolved with highly virulent STDs which would be important selective forces. However, virulent STDs may have evolved in birds with one or more of the following life history characteristics: long life spans, long breeding cycles, multiple matings, and precocial young because these conditions produce increased opportunities for pathogen transmission and can favor the evolution of virulence. These life history characteristics are found and exaggerated in the birds for which STDs have been documented, the domesticated fowl and waterfowl.

Great Britain's women's skeleton team enjoyed a World Cup one-two in St Moritz yesterday. Lizzy Yarnold, in her second World Cup race, pipped the 2006 Olympic silver medallist Shelley Rudman to take gold.
Yarnold set the quickest time in the one run that was possible with one minute 11.93 seconds, edging Rudman's 1min 12.18sec. The second run was cancelled because of heavy snow.
Yarnold, 23, said: "I am really pleased with the result. I feel a sense of relief that everything I've done has been worthwhile. I set out to be consistent and replicate everything that I have done in training and I achieved that despite the weather."

I feel like we were just watching the Tour and already, there's talk about the 2015 course.
This is a long one, but is worth the listen, so let it play and enjoy!
In an age where everyone wants to capture everything on their iPad, iPod, iPhone and GoPro, it's easy to see why the pro cyclists of this year's Tour were a bit disgruntled with all the selfie and video-hungry fans. Then again, it's pretty rad that Kevin Reza actually picked up this Contour Roam and took it for a spin!
On July 22nd, at 8pm E.T., ESPN's 30 for 30 takes a look at the 1986 Tour and the epic battle between Lemond and Hinault. I can't wait for this one! See more information at ESPN.
I've been following Pedal Strike's Instagram for a while. There's something insanely unique about doing portraits of cycling's icon in common condiments (Lance in BBQ sauce was awesome) that makes it addicting. Her recent Tour de France series is killing it!
Give Pedal Strike a follow on Twitter and Instagram for an extra smile per stage!
In the spirit of the Tour, Ty at the Foot Down made a run of El Diablo prints and shirts.
"Didi Senft has been a regular fixture on the slopes of the greatest climbs of the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia since 1993. More commonly known as El Diablo he appears dressed as the devil running and jumping alongside the riders and bringing an extra spark of excitement to any stage. Everyone loves Didi!"
Score one at the Foot Down.
Oakley kicks off their commemoration for the 2014 Tour de France with a special edition sunglasses pack. Available now are the Eyeshades, Racing Jackets and Radarlock Path sunglasses.
I have these and they look so damn good… I even gave FYXO the Eyeshades, since I couldn't pull them off.
So let me get this straight, rather than springing for tickets to the Tour this year, MFS sends:
"Manuel, an eight-pound miniature dachshund currently working toward obtain an online degree in New Media Journalism from Full Sail University from his home in Miami-Dade county."
Whatever Manual for Speed is on, I need some of that…
"Three years ago Manuel quit his Courtroom Artist job of 35 years—the majority of which time he spent working in the Florida Supreme Court, and over the course of which tenure he won dozens of prestigious national and international awards for his art—to finally realize his dream of becoming the first Canine TV Correspondent for ABC's Wide World of Sports."
Head over to Manual for Speed for some very weird coverage from the Tour DAY France.
For the past few years, Jerome Daksiewicz has designed posters to celebrate the Tour de France and while that is by no means an original design, I've taken a liken to his work. Head over to Nomo Design to pick up this year's infographic.
There are insuations that I make millions of dollars a year from the cycling industry for posting high-end, limited edition, wank-resistant kits, jackets, hubs, spokes and bar tape. It's true and Manual for Speed pays me so much money that I'm the literal Scrooge McDuck of the industry, diving into pools of Chris King headsets and PAUL Touring Cantis.
Or… I just like what companies are doing and decide to post their products, regardless of how outrageous they are. I kinda wanna wear one of these jerseys to BRUNCH BRO (sorry Emi).
Scoop up one of these completely ridiculous but somehow necessary 2014 Tour de France Manual for Speed extravaganza jerseys at Garmin Slipstream for a end of July delivery.

When someone suffers with acne and unwanted signs of aging, such as wrinkles and uneven skin tone, they desire clear healthy skin.
With so much misinformation, differing professional opinions, and unethical marketing it can be extremely confusing and frustrating trying to navigate which products and treatments are right for you.
I know this because with over 2 decades in natural healing, product development, and formal education, I've experienced first hand the discrepancies on a professional level.
Back in the 1990's, I developed a product that healed acne and reversed wrinkles. The product was applied to half the face to show it truly worked. When clients could see for themselves the improvement, they became very emotional. I could see their insecurities diminish in that moment. They became empowered learning that they had control over how their skin looked and how it aged.
Right then I knew I had to start my own skin care practice. The more I learned, the more it became clear that so much of what they were being told to do and use was actually making their conditions worse, not better.
Clients deserve to be lead in the proper direction.
So, The Spa in Manchester came into being. A holistic skin correction clinic in a relaxing spa atmosphere.
At the Spa, I provide a healthy holistic approach to transform the skin. Each treatment is customized to address the client's skin care goals and unique skin challenges. I use Eastern philosophic strategies to return the body back to its original function. Balance the skin with what it lacks, then harmonize the body to maintain the results.
If you or someone you know is suffering with acne or would like to turn back the signs of aging, knowing that I am trained to harmonize the body will give you the confidence in knowing you will receive the proper guidance.
Once your body is harmonized, your body will heal itself.
Customization is critical for client trust and compliance.

Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids35
Project Description
Working to set up a JOOMLA / VIRTUMART art gallery for my father's original works of art. I've spent a few months designing the initial layout of the site with a few works of art included & added to the database but without a full virtumart ecommerce solution, & when I tried to upload to web provider " Simple source solutions" I inadvertently made changes to the config file & cannot restore local copy & cannot upload to web site. Website contains 5 pages. (1) Home page. Contains Header graphic, menu, Description of artwork, Collage of art, footer (95% complete) . (2) Gallery page: Graphic header, menu bar, & just a place holder now (needs t be redone) . When you click on art a detailed page comes up w/ an enlarged photo of art, to the right is a tab w/ three tabs (1) Details: text describing art, (2) Specs : talks about print specifics paper ink etc., (3) Order specifics , (4) Want to add a fourth tab for video. Under that is cost information, print options paper size, canvas, etc. Under that is a comment section for visitors to rate each work. …. Page needs a lot of work. (3) BIO page (complete). (4) Contact page (Complete) . Taskers for this job:
(1) Will mail pin drive with local files, fist task is to restore original config file so I can view original locally.
(2) Upgrade to joomla 1.6 currently at 1.5.
(3) Upload existing web site as is to simple source solution.
(4) Make recommendations on how you would make site more professional looking & secure. Once we agree perform all agreed upon upgrades.
(5) Redesign the Gallery page: What I would like is a Tab control w/ 5 tabs: (1) Abstracts, (2) Political, (3) McDonalds, (4) Black Culture, (5) New Orleans (NO) Culture, (6) New Orleans (NO) Scenes, (7) Mardi Gras (8) Katrina Can abbreviate New Orleans if needed. In each tab I'd like two rows of thumbnails approximately 150 pixels by 200 pixels with scroll buttons that scroll left & right like Netflix. In the right hand corner I'd like to be able to sort thumbnails by user rating, title, year (year created). The art already loaded in the database can be used. I will upload, size, optimize all art images at a later date.
(6) Take what I have done on the Detailed page & make more professional. Items to be added. When mouse hovers over art image display a hatched image to protect for copyright. Add rating control at the bottom.
(7) Add complete Virtumart ecommerce pages after the detailed page to include shipping.
(8) Add traffic optimizations for site, add google search.
Need to price each item separately. Open to renegotiation for tasks 3 – 6 once you have seen the code. But I do plan to process all items one after the other.

Foxconn GeForce 8800GT OC Graphics Card
Temperature Tests
With the TES 1326 Infrared Thermometer literally in hand we found ourselves getting real-world temperatures from the products we test at load (3D clock speeds).
There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.
The Foxconn 8800GT uses the upgraded heatsink that comes with the bigger fan which does an excellent job of keeping temperatures down.
Sound Tests
Pulling out the TES 1350A Sound Level Meter we find ourselves quickly yelling into the top of it to see how loud we can be.
After five minutes of that we get a bit more serious and place the device two CM away from the fan on the card to find the maximum noise level of the card when idle (2D mode) and in load (3D mode).
The larger fan also means it doesn't have to spin as fast which means that noise levels are down, this making it sit around the normal levels we see from graphics cards.

"Oh man, this sounds incredible! I never would have thought to add a Three Musketeers bar to my hot cocoa, but it sounds amazing."
"I love the chameleon! This is such a cute way to use pipe cleaners and I'm sure kids would love it."
"Kids like crafts they can eat the very best. Assuming they don't eat all the candy right away, they can make treat bags for their parents, who will enjoy eating it too. This is a cute idea that could be done with preschoolers or older children. The youngest children can learn their colors. Older children can learn about rainbows or the stories that go with St. Patrick's Day."
"Cute project! With Easter coming up, I'm looking for a fun craft project to do with my granddaughter. For preschoolers, it might be best for an adult to do the coloring. I noticed this was done with a cardboard egg carton. Have you tried with a styrofoam carton? The cardboard ones are not as easy to find. Will the paint work on styrofoam? I suspect it might be easier to cut the styrofoam cartons with a craft knife."
"When I tried this, I ended up with little bits of T-shirt everywhere while cutting. The strip of material curled as described, but the cut edge sometimes showed and didn't look as nice as the photo. It was fun and I would use the resulting yarn for a rug, but not for anything I wanted to wear."

For some reason or another, duct tape crafts have taken the world by storm. I attribute it to the awesome patterns and colors that are being produced, but also to the unpredictability of the material. Not that you can't predict how it will act, but that you can't predict how many amazing kids' crafts can be created from the fancy stuff. You might assume duct tape can't be used to make a dress, and then some crafty genius releases pictures of a frock made entirely from duct tape. The list of previously thought impossible duct tape projects that have been accomplished goes on for pages. Weave a bracelet, arrange a bouquet, support your watch face, or construct a drum all using the same magic material.
Duct tape was created as a make-shift adhesive, and now unbelievable kids' crafts ideas are being imagined. There is no limit with duct tape projects, and I believe that that is a large part of its draw. Whether you're an advanced crafter or a beginner, you can use duct tape to make never-before-seen duct tape crafts for kids.

Wow! 66 projects, really? How wonderful is that? I personally love to use duct tape and I am a big kid. I love looking through these kids crafts, not only do I find them fun and easy for making with the children, but I also get so much inspiration for my own "adult" projects. I agree with you on the fact that there so many beautiful patterns and designs of duct tape now. Don't you wish they had those round when we were kids? All I remember was the plain silver, and black.

Unfortunately later rules then remount the device. I want the rules to stop evaluation for just this device. GOTO seems to only apply to the current rules file (from the logs, the man page needs improving here) and would require creating another rules file in any case which should not be necessary. I could edit the rules file which is doing the re-mounting but that is another packages rules file that I should not have to manage. Also if I know that there is no need to continue rule evaluation for a device then it is far cleaner to stop especially if it was an embedded system (it's not but these things should be thought about (properness, power to the user/dev)). The usual method is putting big fat warnings on and not crippling users, and also not updating the man pages in light of the online tutorials talking about last_rule. I hate to think of all the wasted devs and users time for this simple lack of consideration. OpenBSD man pages are brill and I'm sure this kind of problem wouldn't happen under their watch. I have never had to power up a web browser on OpenBSD atleast for anything simple. Perhaps there is a way but I cannot see it from the man pages.

text: Australian Hillbillies Accuse Apple of Trashing Salvageable ComputersDan Nosowitz1/17/09 3:00pmFiled to: UnfoundedRumorAppledestroyTrashAustraliaMacBookMac Pro111EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink An Aussie construction worker and part-time filmmaker (?) was instructed to destroy a substantial quantity of Apple equipment— some of which, he says, was salvageable. But can we really trust his account? Advertisement The construction worker, who refused to give his real name, says that he destroyed nine full pallets of equipment, including MacBooks, Mac Pros, and even innocent Mighty Mice (Mighty Mouses?). He also claims that he tested some of the machines, and that many powered up, proving at the least that their batteries could be salvaged, if not screens and other parts.Problem is, there's no evidence that any of this stuff was in working order, and the article quotes a secondhand account from another construction worker on Apple's motivations for crushing the computers. That's not exactly the most reliable source. And while, let's be honest, Apple's green campaign is an infuriating example of "greenwashing" and as smug as anything they've ever done, I'm not prepared to accuse Apple of destroying equipment in working order without any hard evidence, on the word of somebody who won't give his real name. Just my two cents. [APC Mag]Reply111 repliesLeave a reply

Dear Ambitious (but Frustrated?) Online Marketer,
I'm here to tell you what you probably already know…your Pay Per Click Marketing Campaign like (Google Adwords) needs to be laser targeted, constantly tested, refined and managed.
Otherwise you will continue to throw good money after bad and your sales conversion and lead generation rates will continue to deteriorate.
This may already be happening to you.
A laser focused pay per click strategy combined with ongoing testing, refinement and optimization as well as regular competitive analysis is the ONLY way to ensure you achieve the optimal ROI from your marketing dollar.
Because reputation counts and we really care about long term results, we choose only to work with clients who understand the value of ongoing PPC management service.
Our work is 100% guaranteed.
So any chosen clients not 100% satisfied with the service and results that we deliver, we will return the initially consult fee in full after 90 days.
To work out whether we can help you drastically improve your PPC marketing efforts, fill out the following form. We will be in touch to discuss your specific PPC marketing requirements and determine whether we can work together.
You need PPC experts who are Obsessed with testing & refining your PPC marketing efforts and getting you guaranteed results
This will leave you precious time so you can deliver great services and products to those loads of sales leads that we will bring to you through PPC advertising.
Our experts guarantee immediate improvements to the ROI in your PPC marketing spend – or we give you back the consult fee in full.
Many other supposed PPC marketing 'experts' talk the talk – but have never themselves being immersed directly in the action.
Nettclicks is different.
I'm Sebastian Alberti, the Team Leader at Nettclicks.
I'm a qualified (and at one time well paid!) engineer who decided to swap a comfortable corporate life for the thrill and challenges of helping clients like you develop a profitable online presence and build great e-businesses.
I lead a team with hands on experience with Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing, MSN Adcenter, and many other less well know PPC marketing mediums allows us to provide timely, accurate and effective PPC marketing solutions to all our clients.
And that could be you.
You could be one of a select number of clients we work with who understands the importance of developing an effective and ongoing PPC marketing presence.
This can't be done if we have hundreds of clients on our books.
We are also totally ethical – if you are our client, under no circumstances will we work with any of your direct competitors.
If you are like 98% of other PPC advertisers online, you are throwing hard earned money away to Google, Yahoo and Microsoft for little or no return
Done well and done correctly – PPC marketing is actually a very low cost and effective form of marketing.
The problem is for 98% of the PPC advertisers out there, they rely on ad hoc, non-systematic and inconsistent (and sometimes non-existent!) rules of thumb to carry out their PPC marketing.
PPC marketing can be a fool's gold – and believe me, I see a lot fools out there when it comes too online marketing!
If you are running one ad or 100 ads – they all need to be tested constantly and refined.
We will take your CTRs to the desired level of above 5% – consistently!
For the typical PPC marketer, this could equal to a 4 or 5 time increase in web traffic for exactly the same amount of ad dollar invested!
From experience, we know that a small change in your ad title, your ad copy and your landing page can make ALL the difference.
And constantly testing and monitoring is the only way to make sure you are maximizing the benefits of your online marketing dollar.
Many 'do it yourself' PPC marketers don't know the difference and that's costing them money and lots of targeted (i.e. profitable) traffic.
If you have no idea what these keyboard types and have no time to research and test them, it's time you think about engaging experts like us to help you.
Our experience, access to resources and other proprietary PPC management system allows to be precise about keyword selection.
A lot of it is about dedicated research and using the right tools not available to the average DIY advertiser.
For example, we have a tool, which we've had build specifically for ourselves, which can gauge a visitor's interest of content within a page based on a world famous sales model called AIDA – Attention, Interest Desire & Action.
A visitor comes to your landing page and based on this sales data we can tell you specifically whether or not that keyword is profitable and whether or not is worth keeping in your keyword list, best of all, we can track this information with only a hand full of visitors.
Producing great CTRs and sales conversion is about using as many cost effective keywords as possible – this could mean expanding your keyword portfolio from 30 to over 1000 keywords.
And all this can generate exponential boost to your traffic while still keeping to your marketing budget.
What's more – these specialized keywords help to target special niches in your desire market – so that when an online client visits, you'll know what they want and can give them the right product.
This means great sales conversion – because your PPC marketing has done the entire client 'sorting' for you already.
And you will the beneficiary with better accountability.
Here's a flow chart, which shows our systematic approach used to boost your PPC marketing campaigns.
We also work only with one client in any one specific industry niche – we're big on loyalty to clients and will not sell out our services to your competitors for a quick buck.
Part of the appeal of the service we offer is that we can quickly identify profitable niches within your industry. Get in contact with us for a free appraisal about identifying these little gold mines in your industry – before they get discovered by your competitors!
We provide you with a free initial report to comprehensively analyze your current PPC marketing efforts and give you an overview of improvements that can be made.
Thereafter, if you wish to engage our services, we charge an UP FRONT ONE TIME CONSULT FEE of $1750 AUD (excludes GST).
PPC marketing is something that is ongoing and needs to be tested & refined as the competitive landscape changes.
Therefore we also have an ongoing PPC Management Program at $550 AUD (excludes GST) per month.
With this ongoing program, you have the piece of mind that an experienced team is working on your PPC marketing all time – testing, refining, analyzing – to bring you quality conversions, on budget, on time.
There is NO long-term contract to sign – our ongoing services are charged month-to-month and you can chose to discontinue our management service anytime.
Please fill out the following form and we will contact you shortly to discuss your PPC efforts.
We look forward to the possibility of working in partnership with you to boost your PPC marketing effectiveness.
Yours faithfully,
Sebastian Alberti
Team Leader
61 03 9016 0504
P.S. Unlike a lot of self proclaimed experts and companies out there, we don't like to name drop and throw endless testimonials on our page.
Firstly, many of our clients appreciate the anonymity of working with us, knowing that their valuable marketing secrets will not be shared with everyone in their competitive field.
Secondly, our reputation is only as good as our next project – that could be you. What we've done in the past is really irrelevant to what you need right now from us.
Having said this, if you would like references to verify our experience and expertise, we can provide some contact details so you can speak directly and candidly with our current and past clients.

I have lived, owned and rented properties in Cabo for the last 25 years. I enjoy this property and location. I often stay there myself. I was the first person to ever do vacation rentals in Los Cabos, Mexico. Family and friends from different parts of the world enjoy staying here.
Reyna purchased this apartment in 1990
This property located in the CeeCee apartments which are in the heart of town, by the downtown Plaza, Church, Marina and the life of Cabo. I love the property and the location.
I enjoy the location and the property itself, more than anything, it is very mexican/colonial with the traditional courtyard, tiles and old antique wood. Recently renovated to keep that colonial flair.
The proximity to the Marina and all the activities there, are the huge plus. People don't like to have to rent a car if possible. They don't need to while staying with us.
We have catered meals for all to enjoy, as well as touring. Walking distance to restaurants and the Marina has been a big plus... The beach club is tons of fun. Sunbathe by the pool or at the beach.

Hola Reyna,
We sure had a good time in Los Cabos. How much are you asking for your building?
The place was exactly as represented. Two bedrooms, nice big bathroom with great shower and plenty of hot water, a fully equipped kitchen and great rooftop palapa with BBQ. It was nice, clean and easy walk to town and the marina. Right next door is an Oxxo market with everything needed and a great sushi place right across the street.
The icing on the cake was Luis. He is Reynas concierge and took care of our every need including picking us up and dropping us off at the airport in a brand new car!
Rather that a trip to Cabo it was more like a visit with family!
Everything is within walking distance!
Our first visit to Cabo, we preferred not to stay at a hotel, and the Cee Cee Apartments worked out great. Reyna was very helpful making us feel comfortable contacting us with information before we arrived. When we arrived as she pointed out some restaurants and grocery marts that were just down the block. Apartment was very well kept, clean and quiet. The roof top terrace was gorgeous as you can see the surrounding layout of the city. 5 minute walk to the Marina and main drag. Many very close restaurants to choose from. This place had all our requirements: inexpensive, clean, walking distance to beach, downtown and restaurants. We would definitely recommend for future guests.
I found the living quarter to be sorely lacking in the barest of cooking, bathing and sleeping essentials. There were 3 of us and not even enough dishes to eat a meal together. Also the pool and beach access was supposed to be a short walk away . They were both about a mile or more away. I was very disappointed in our stay. It was nothing close to what it was supposed to be. We had to move from one apartment to another in the middle of our stay. The first place was at least 2 bed room but the neighbors were a pain. The second apartment we were moved into had this annoying power box just outside the door and it had this load clicking going on all night and there was only 1 bed. (did I mention that there were 3 of us). No I would not recommend this place to anyone. The 3 of use vacation together every winter. We will definitely be back to Cabo San Lucas but will not be booking at the CeeCee apaertments.
My brother-in-law was getting married at the end of January. We were invited to stay in the resort where the wedding was to take place. However, the three of us (my wife, our toddler and I) wanted to have a more "local" experience. We wanted to have our own apartment in a nice neighborhood that had supermarkets, a post office, convenience stores, parks and maybe a gym. When we started to look for this ideal apartment, all that popped up were these investment condos for about $140 a night or more. They looked awful. It looked like we would be living in a hotel. So we kept at it. Until.....Reyna's place. It was too good to be true. The apartment looked amazing. The pictures of the the rooms were fantastic. The kitchen was full sized, a great shower, big beds, pots and pans, a living room and very tasteful decorations all throughout. And the price was awesome!! I started to email Reyna from Sydney, which is on the other side of the planet from Cabos. Reyna was so prompt in her replies and so professional. She emailed us the contract. We paid for half of our stay with the contract and the other half about a month before arrival. Everything was set. We were so excited for our vacation to commence. Truth be told, I was a little nervous that it was "too good to be true".
Three days before arriving in Cabos, Reyna started to write me. She was more aware of our travel plans than I was. She asked when we arrived and sent an email with all the information necessary to get us from the airport to the apartment. It was great. I just loaded it on my phone and would access it anytime we needed it. The collective bus dropped us off right at the door. Reyna was there to give us the keys. She is a real SWEETHEART!!! So, right away our vacation was off to a great start.
The place was ideal. There was free wifi in our apartment. We had a phone that could call the USA for no extra charge. The refrigerator could stock lots of groceries. The beds were comfy. There were heaps of cable channels on the tv. The flat was one block up from the Plaza (where my toddler and I would go and kick the empty water jug around). It was next to a convenience store so I didn't have to walk very far to fetch my wife's latest craving. There was a gym one block away on Cardenas so I could go and workout (cost: 35 dollars for two weeks). The beach for locals (with free umbrellas and cheap snacks from vendors) was a short walk away. The laundry was one block away. All in all, fantastic.
LOCATION, LOCATION LOCATION. In addition a real well kept property. I rented one of the smaller units and it was perfect for me. The gated property added to a sense of security even though I never worried about my personal safety anytime I've been in Cabos.
It was a nice and easy walk to the downtown area, marina and beach. The tanning are on the roof was a plus as I love laying out in the warm sunshine. Reyna had also made arrangements to use the pool at one of the resorts on the beach. Since I would rather be at the beach anyway I didn't take advantage of her gracious offer.
Snorkeling, Scuba diving, zip lining, swimming with dolphins, bay cruises, sun bathing, shopping, bar hoping, local live music, night life, golf, tennis.

We went to the Maryland Nurseryman's show yesterday and found a couple
of things of interest.
First, from Q&Z, I asked about Zillis's book and the lady at the booth
said it should be available very soon but will only be available from
Q&Z, not in bookstores. I don't know if this is true or why, but that's
what she said. She also said that she thought it would be available at
wholesale from them, and if so I will get some copies for sale.
The second thing I fould that might be of interest is a product called
Repellex systemic tablets which contain a chemical reputed to be the
most bitter tasting substance known. We've seen information on this
product before, and it is supposed to be the most effective deer
repellent on the market, but I didn't know that it came in tablets that
are systemic, which means that the roots and rhizome taste bad too.
They apparently last for up to two years and have some fertilizer
incorporated. The guy assured me that they really work, and if you
can't trust a salesman, who can you trust? Actually, we've heard some
good things about the spray for deer, but don't know anyone who has used
the tablets. Cost is just under 40 cents per tablet and it looks like
2-3 per plant would be necessary.
There was also an awesome display of Bobcats that my wife won't let me

Using metal spoon, carve out inside of egg until it fits over air freshener topper and flat cut edge of egg touches top of pot. Apply glue onto one end of rope to prevent raveling. (NOTE: The first round of rope is glued to the egg; the remaining rounds are glued to the previous round of rope.) Apply a line of glue around lower edge of egg and press rope in place. Continue coiling and gluing rope around egg to reach the top. At top center of egg, cut off excess rope, apply glue and tuck in end.
2. FLOWERPOT: Cut excelsior into approximately 4" lengths. Apply glue to inside top edge of clay pot. Press ends of excelsior into glue, allowing excelsior to drape over clay pot edge. Place beehive on top of air freshener.
3. BOW: Tear or cut a 1 3/4" x 24" strip green fabric. Tie strip into bow and glue to pot.
4. BEES: Remove silver wire from the bees. Using craft snip, cut five 4" to 6" lengths copper wire. "Scrunch" copper wire and then slightly straighten. Attach one copper wire to each bee by applying glue and inserting 1/2" end into bottom of bee. Glue wire ends and randomly insert bees into beehive.
5. YO-YO FLOWERS: Use compass to draw four 1 3/4" diameter circles on gold fabric, four 3 1/2" diameter circles on green fabric, cut out all circles. On large green circle, using needle and thread knotted on end, run a gathering stitch 1/8" from edge. Pull basting thread snugly, knot and trim thread ends. Manipulate circle to center the gathers and flatten the yo-yo. Repeat to make a total of eight yo-yos. Scrunch and bend green wire to add character. Spiral wire by loosely wrapping around a large marker or your finger. Cut wire into four varying lengths. To assemble one flower, place a green yo-yo on work surface with gathered center up. Glue gold yo-yo gathered center down, onto center of green yo-yo, sandwiching end of one green wire between circles. Repeat to make four flowers. Glue wire ends and randomly insert flowers into beehive.
6. GEL REPLACEMENT: When the original gel is depleted, simply replace with a new air freshener. For future projects: if your project base is decorated, remove dried gel. From a new container, remove new, non-toxic gel, then slip it over the post of the decorated base and reposition the decorated topper.

Brilliant! I think this would be great even without the air freshener inside. We keep bees and this would be such a great ornament to have in our home. It seems like it would require a bit of extra effort to complete all of the different components, but, then again, you could make it as complex or as simple as you like.

Alessandro Palace & Bar and Alessandro Downtown.
The original Alessandro PALACE offers a prestigious hostelling experience famous in the folklore of the hostel industry. All guest rooms are fully equipped with ensuite bathrooms and time controlled, energy saving air-conditioners. There is also an in-house bar & lounge with a wide screen TV, cheap drinks, and a vibrant atmosphere. Combined, this provides a great opportunity to make friends with fellow travellers.
Established in 1990, the Alessandro Palace Hostel has become one of the most popular hostels in Rome for backpackers & independent travellers worldwide. The Alessandro Palace Hostel provides energy-saving air-conditioning & heating units as well as bathrooms in every room. Located in a safe central area, Alessandro Palace Hostel is a short walk (5 minutes) from Termini station, Rome's central transportation hub for buses, metro, taxi stops, and trains to get you where you want to go.
The Alessandro Palace Hostel is one of the few hostels in Rome to have its own onsite pub with satellite TV & the cheapest drink specials in town. Furthermore, Alessandro Palace Hostel is a proud selected member of Europe's Famous Hostels.
Both hostels are conveniently situated within a 5 minute walking distance of Rome's main transit station, Termini. From this transit hub visitors to Rome are given easy access to all the major historical sites and attractions.
Most of the famous sites such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum, San Pietro in Vincoli, Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore, the shopping mecca Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the classy Via Veneto can all be reached on foot in half an hour approximately. From Termini station, by public transport, it takes no more than 30 minutes to reach the Vatican and the adjoining museums, Castel Sant'Angelo, Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori and Trastevere district etc.
