Upcoming DKWIO Events
Host an Event
There is a generous community of individuals and businesses that are always looking for ways to support Work It Out. From happy hours to private dinners, from jeans days to black-tie events, hosting an event to support Work It Out gives you the opportunity to have fun and give back. Some examples of previous events hosted by our community are outlined below. Your creativity is your only limit to the success of your event.
For more information on how you can get started with hosting your own event to benefit Work It Out, contact Kirsten Beyer at email@example.com.
Looking for ideas? Here's some Inspiration
Happy Hour
Fund-raise at a local restaurant, or other business.
Guests were invited to Bella Piatti in Birmingham to learn about Work It Out, indulge in signature cocktails and happy-hour bites and mingle with others who like to support local organizations. Donations were collected throughout the evening and the restaurant owners made a generous contribution resulting in more than $6,000 for our programming.
Jeans Day
Hold a fundraising event through your place of employment.
The Dykema law firm and its team hosted a jeans day to benefit DKWIO and raised $500. Every employee who contributed a gift to support DKWIO was granted the opportunity to wear jeans to work on a specific date.
Yoga Class
Host a donation class at your fitness studio.
The Yoga Garden in Beverly Hills hosted a donation class for Work It Out and raised more than $400 for the kids!
Change a child's life for $75
We know that when you host an event, you're going to want to tell your invitees how their donations will help Work It Out. Every $75 raised helps to provide one 10-week session for a student. Each student will receive yoga instruction, nutrition lessons, their own yoga mat and a full-color workbook so that they may continue to practice what they've learned.
So, when you set your event goal, consider setting it in $75 increments and highlight the number of children that will benefit from their generosity. For example, you may say, "We want to provide Work It Out programming for 100 kids in Detroit. Help us raise $7,500."

Not venomous, just vexatious: A plague of snakes makes life a misery
Here's the good news: The snakes weren't venomous.
But for the Vargas family, occupying a cluster of houses off Ell Road on Houston's northeast side, the fact that rat snakes primarily threaten small rodents offered little comfort.
Since Memorial Day flooding of Halls Bayou, which flows behind the residences, snakes invaded. Finally, on Saturday, animal control officials came in to patch the holes and trap the rodents and snakes that had made their way in to the duplex in the 10900 block of Ell.
Family patriarch Felipe Vargas takes pot shots at snakes that invade his backyard with a pellet gun. He's seen at least three in recent weeks. His daughter, Angelina Garcia, had temporarily moved out of her house as pest control experts last week removed three snakes, the largest about four feet long, her brother, Raul Vargas, said.
"But they said that there probably are still more inside," he said.
Garcia could not be reached for comment Saturday, but in an earlier television news report, she told of using tape to seal holes in her bedroom wall and expressed concern for the safety of her two daughters.
At one point, she vowed to sleep in her car until the snakes were gone.
Snakes are not uncommon in the Vargas neighborhood.
Neighbor Julian Sanchez said he peppered the bayou bank with broken glass, mothballs and snake repelling powder after a reptile bit one of his dogs. The bite left a nasty wound, but the animal recovered after Sanchez administered medication.
Raul Vargas, who has seen no snakes at his nearby home, said he understands the rat snakes are not poisonous. Still, he remains concerned.
"Snake bites still can be bad. They have a lot of germs in their mouths," he said. "We don't know what they eat - dead animals, worms."
Clint "The Snakeman" Pustejovsky, a Houston technical writer-turned-snake expert, suggested the family's snake problems will last until the rodents are vanquished.
"If you've ever seen a bloodhound follow a trail, a snake can track better than a bloodhound," he said. "It will follow the trail of a mouse. It probably doesn't even know it's inside a house, only that at the end of the trail it will have dinner."
Pustejovsky said flooding likely played little role in the infestation.
"The mice go down to the bayou to drink, then go back to the house for food," he said. "The snake does the same. … I could go in and catch snakes all day long, but the problem is that there are more where those came from, following the same trail. They have to fix one problem before they can fix the other. What's needed is some old-fashioned exclusion work - cleaning up and plugging up every single hole."

Designing a website from scratch is a huge task, so there is plenty of room for mistakes. Unfortunately, many businesses and web designers make some common blunders so you can spot them all over the internet. When building a website you want to ensure it is pleasing to the eye and has a focus on usability – so avoid these major fails at all costs.
Poor navigation
This is probably the most frustrating mistake you'll notice across the web. You'll be trying to navigate around a site when you realise you can't get back to the homepage or find what you're looking for. There is just not excuse for bad navigation menus – our designers always keep it simple so visitors are never left lost or infuriated.
Too much content
Have you ever visited a site which has far too much text on one page? It's overwhelming. Despite the fact that visuals and graphics are far better at communicating messages, some people still focus on the written content. Large chunks of text are not appealing, and trust us when we tell you that nobody reads it all! A design with less emphasis on the content is always more effective – keep it short and sweet.
Too many animations
Gifs and moving pictures are on trend right now, but there is such a thing as overdoing it. Try and refrain on going overboard with the animations because they distract from the real message and purpose of the website. They are good at capturing attention but if used too often they can send visitors fleeing.
Boring/gaudy typography
Typography plays a large part in the user experience of the website so don't just choose the first font you like. Firstly, does it represent your brand correctly? Is it easy to read? Are the headings large enough? The key is to find the perfect balance between the boring fonts and the fonts which are too gaudy. Using lots of different fonts is also a big mistake – keep it consistent so as not to confuse your visitors.
Ignoring SEO
Integrate your SEO strategy right from the word go. You can follow SEO guidelines in the design of each page, such as having clear subheadings with keywords and building internal links. Ignore SEO in your web design and it is sure to fail.
Want to make sure you don't commit any dreadful sins while building your website? Then why not speak to one of our expert web designers.

Windows Embedded Lead, Northern Europe
We are only 2 weeks into 2014, and I'm sure many of you are asking yourselves and your colleagues: "What are going to be the key trends for this year in enterprise?"
In a recent blog post, John Jester, General Manager of the Enterprise and Partner Business at Microsoft UK, outlined his thoughts on the key trends for this year, and he points out that the Internet of Things will this year come to fruition. The Internet of Things is a key foundation for building intelligent systems with Windows Embedded, so we hope to see more around this topic as this year moves ahead. If you would like to read more of John's thoughts, please check out his blog here.

For the first time since the Apollo program, NASA and space agencies abroad have plans to bring samples to Earth from elsewhere in the solar system. There are missions in various stages of definition to gather material over the next decade from Mars, an asteroid, comets, the satellites of Jupiter, and the interplanetary dust. Some of these targets, most especially Jupiter's satellites Europa and Ganymede, now appear to have the potential for harboring living organisms. This book considers the possibility that life may have originated or existed on a body from which a sample might be taken and the possibility that life still exists on the body either in active form or in a form that could be reactiviated. It also addresses the potential hazard to terrestrial ecosystems from extraterrestrial life if it exists in a returned sample.

... Jenssen is Norways leading painter.
He lives in Berlin, mostly, and is professor of painting in Braunschweig. Jenssen is known as a painter's painter. It is clear that, just as other painters have informed Jenssen's work (one is reminded of moments from Miro, the scrape of an Albert Oehlen, a Gerhard Richter smear), so Jenssen's licks turn up in a necklace of blobs in a Chris Ofili painting, or in a pattering Peter Doig snowstorm. That painters borrow from one another is part of painting's richness, its collective unconscious.... [more]

In a July 29th blogpost, CPSC Commissioner Anne Northup reproduced a letter she received from a CPSC Field Agent. Like so much data rejected by the Validation Bias Democrats on the Commission, I am sure this letter will be ignored. Why not decide for yourself if it's relevant?
"I just had an opportunity to read your July 20 statement concerning lead ppm.
I just wanted to say thank you for saying what some many of us in the field are feeling everyday while having to carry out compliance efforts in face to face scenarios with business owners. We don't have the sanctuary of a phone, a computer or geography to shield us form [sic] the reality of their world.
Since passage and implementation of CPSIA many of us, [geographic location removed], are facing more and more resistive and hostile receptions as we carry out our day to day activities with businesses. This seems to be specifically for the reasons noted in your statement and not just within the limited scope of lead. For the most part these are people with children of their own trying to make a living for their families that have no desire to put out an unsafe product. We are becoming the face of the reason they believe that opportunity is becoming more difficult and/or failing for them. It is so disheartening to go out on an assignment and spend an hour listening to a business owner berate us about how ridiculous some of our regulations and/or procedures are and not have one argument to present in return because they are right.
It is reassuring to know there is still some hope at the Commission level that some day we can return to a state of reasonable regulation and focus on safety, not philosophy and bureaucracy." [Emphasis added]
I wish I shared the Field Agent's optimism. Hey, buddy, those days are looooooong gone.

Italian artisan ice cream parlor and patisserie, where quality and taste are the key words and everything is rigorously natural and gluten-free.
Erste Sahne, an Italian artisan ice cream parlor and patisserie in Berlin
Authentic and pure flavors can be tasted in Erste Sahne, in Kienitzerstraße 116 – Neukölln. Here, quality and tasteare the key words and everything is rigorously natural and gluten-free. In Italy, Domenico Richichi used to work as a technical for RAI – Italy's national public broadcasting company, while Sara Tricoli used to work as a professor of Near Estern Archaeology. In 2011 they decided to move to Berlin and, one year later, they opened their first place: Erste Sahne, one of the first artisan ice cream parlors in Berlin. Since then, Domenico and Sara have been working in order to spread the Italian ice cream and patisserie tradition.
Read the article in Italian.
«Sara lived one month in Berlin in 2010, while I was in Rome. When she came back, we decided to change our lives. We had never produced ice cream before that moment and a good formation course was very difficult to find. Eventually we met Gaetano Guzzi – who produced ice cream in Santa Maria delle Mole, near Rome – and through him, we learned the art of the true artisan ice cream, the one made with the best ingredients, dosed accurately. We brought this art in Berlin and in 2012 we started serving ice creams and Italian desserts to Berlin inhabitants. We decided to use only organic fruit and milk. We buy fresh ingredients from a trusted Berliner supplier – but hazelnuts, pistachio nuts, oil and flours come all from Italy. We use only high quality Italian products: pistachio nuts come from Sicily, while the oil comes from Calabria and we use it as an alternative to milk to produce vegan desserts and ice creams.»
«Everything is made with passion; we want to delight our clients' palates and that's why we always try our products before serving them. In order to realize a good product, it's necessary to use quality ingredients – but also experiencing something new is important. Before preparing an ice cream or a dessert, I always try many combinations of milk, flour and other ingredients. We really want to satisfy our clients' wishes and we enjoy talking with them about our recipes. Furthermore, we try to serve other Italian specialties, like slushies, semifreddi and brioches stuffed with ice cream. Before trying them clients usually hesitate, but then they ask for a seconds.»
«Every products you can taste in Erste Sahne is realized by us, like the jam we use to stuff tarts, that contains few sugar in order to exalt the taste of the fruit. We prefer not to use industrial products because we want to know exactly what we offer to our clients and we also want to be proud of our products. Furthermore, we don't use colouring, preservatives and hydrogenated vegetable fat. Another peculiarity of our products is the fact that they are gluten-free. During the summer, we offer sorbets and sgroppini, made with lemon ice-cream, water and prosecco (Italian dry sparkling wine). During the winter, we serve hot chocolates with fresh whipped cream.»

The Whittington Press
We work under the same roof as The Whittington Press which, since 1971, has been printing books by letterpress, from type ('as God intended', as the Revd. Bernard Roberts once remarked), in the Gloucestershire village of Whittington, from where it has now published over 200 titles. It also publishes the annual journal Matrix ('by far the finest priodical of the book arts of the twentieth century'), and has one of the widest ranges of Monotype matrices anywhere, from which it casts type for itself and others.
During the 1970's computer typesetting put an end to the commercial use of hot-metal and finally finished off letterpress printing. Many printers began the last great disposal of Monotype and letterpress printing machinery and others became its fortunate recipients. The Press acquired a huge collection of Monotype matrices, as well as some excellent letterpress equipment including two precision proof presses, a Heidelberg SBB (22 x 32 ins) cylinder press, a Heidelberg Superspeed platen (10 x 15 ins) and other ancillary equipment such as Funditor and Rouse saws. Even a decade earlier such equipment would have cost a fortune. With the exception of the Heidelberg cylinder everything was brought for little more than scrap value, the Heidelberg retaining its value because of its popularity in the trade for cutting and creasing.

The inaugural Three FAI Communications Awards were today (Friday) presented at the FAI pre-AGM delegates' dinner, which took place at the West County Hotel in Co. Clare.
The awards were introduced by Three and the FAI to applaud those who use various communications tools to tell a particular story about, or promote an aspect of, all levels of Irish football.
Legendary RTÉ broadcaster, Philip Greene (R.I.P) was honoured at the event with the inaugural Three FAI Communications Hall of Fame award following his passing last May. His award was collected by his widow, Patricia Greene, in his memory.
Meanwhile, Evening Herald football correspondent Eamon Scott scooped the Best National Article award while Johnny Craig from the Inish Times captured the Best Regional Article award.
TV3 were awarded the Three Communications Award in the Best National broadcast category for their extensive coverage of the UEFA Europa League, which took place at the Aviva Stadium on May 18, 2011. Clem Ryan in KFM was also recognised in the Best Regional Broadcast Item for his human interest feature on a schoolboy football match in the region.
Other winners of the inaugural Three FAI Communications Awards included Bobby Lynch from the North Tipperary Schoolchildren's League who won the Best PRO category. Bray Wanderers triumphed in the Best Publication category for Aidan O'Toole's book, '25 years in League of Ireland Football'. Tramore Rangers won the Best Website category, and the Photography Award was given to Noel Browne from the Munster Express.
Speaking at the announcement, FAI Communications Director, Peter Sherrard said, "These new awards have been introduced to recognise all of the good work being done by journalists and PRO's the length and breadth of the country. Despite being in its inaugural year, the Three FAI Communications Awards have attracted a large number of quality entrants from all over the country which made the task of picking the individual winners for the jury panel extremely difficult.
While just one award can be made in each category, I congratulate all of our entrants and urge all of this year's outstanding nominees to apply again next year," he said
The Three FAI Communications Award winners are;

Some guests prefer the views from the Jr. Suite and Room #13, but no matter which room you are in, 150 feet outside your door your feet will be in the ocean. And every room has either a view of the ocean or of our beautiful gardens.
Please use the booking form to the left to select the dates you are interested in and you will find the best rates and rooms available for your trip.
Do you have weekly rates? Do you have any packages? Do you have discounts for someone wanting to stay for a month?
We do not offer weekly rates, but occasionally we can offer special rates for extended stays. Please email us with the dates of your intended stay for more information.
We will allow three to a room with a $10 surcharge for the third person. It is just not going to be comfortable with more guests than that in most of our rooms. However, we do have one upstairs room that can accomodate four people.
Sak-Ol prides itself by being a hotel with a more "quaint" atmosphere in relaxing surroundings, which young children might not be very keen to. In addition, many people come to Sak-Ol because it is quiet, or to get some time away from their own children. Also, there may be some nudity on the beaches which may not be appropriate for youngsters. However, this is not to say that children are barred from staying. Teenagers are always welcome, and children ages 3 and up are welcome during most school holidays (i.e. Easter, July/August, Christmas, etc.).
Travel Agencies receive a 10% discount during our off peak times. We do not offer specials to wholesalers.
Check-in begins at 3 pm, but if you arrive early you are free to leave your luggage in reception and relax in the main palapa or on the beach while we finish preparing your room. Check-out is at 12 pm, but if you need to leave later, the main palapa and beach are still yours to enjoy. As for arriving late, reception is open from 8 am to 8 pm. If you will be arriving outside these hours please inform us in advance of your estimated arrival time so we can arrange to have someone to meet you. When you arrive, please ring the bell outside the reception area for assistance (please ring the bell only once or twice so as not to disturb our other guests). We ask that you register in reception and settle your room the next morning after breakfast. Our breakfast buffet is served between 8 am and 10 am.
We can accept Visa and Mastercard credit cards at Rancho.
The beaches in Mexico are public beaches. Our facilities, however, are for our guests and the conveniences of our guests. As long as people are respectful to our guests and to Rancho, they are welcome to come and enjoy our place. If we have a workshop in progress and the group prefers no outside guests, then we honor that request and the space is held just for the group.
There is space available for parking right here at Rancho.
Our Reservations Policy can be found on our Policies page.
Is there a computer we can use? Can we hook up our computer at Rancho? How can I retrieve my emails? Is there an Internet service or provider in town?
Rancho no longer has a computer available for guests to use as almost all our guests travel with their own WIFI devices. You are of course welcome to connect with your own devices to read emails, surf the net, etc. (computers can be plugged into the regular 110 contacts, but we recommend bringing a surge protector, as the electricity can fluctuate at any time.)
Can we use Rancho's phone for "short" business calls? Can we leave Rancho's phone number with our business partner/associates? Can we give Rancho's number so we can "just get our messages"? What number can we give to be reached in case of an emergency?
Rancho's phone is not for guests' use. In case of emergency, Rancho's phone numbers are, if calling from the USA: 011-52-9-8710181 and 8710182. Rancho is a place to relax and leave work behind. Therefore, we suggest you not give out this number except for emergencies only. Try this…you may find your vacation to be more of a vacation!
Don't worry...we have English speaking staff members to help you with whatever you may need. As for Puerto Morelos, the Mayan Riviera receives of great deal of international tourism. As a result, most locals speak some English and many are fluent. You should have no problem enjoying your vacation without knowing a word of Spanish. However, visiting a foreign country is almost always more fun if you can really get to know the culture, and part of getting to know a culture is getting to know the local language.
Yes, there are at least a half dozen really good restaurants in Puerto Morelos. The rule of thumb for food safety is this: If the food is cooked at the time of order and not before you have the best chance of a terrific meal. Avoid ordering a "plate of the day" – no one knows how long the food has been in the pot.
Can we store food or cook in some way at Rancho? Do any of the rooms have a kitchenette? I'd like to cook all my own food, I don't trust food in Mexico.
We have a full kitchen that we allow our guests to use. We also have a guest refrigerator and pantry area to store food or snacks. After breakfast hours we ask our guests to do their own dishes after using the kitchen. None of the rooms have kitchenettes as the large common kitchen may be used by all.
Where do I buy/get good water? Are you sure the water in the rooms is safe? Is the bottled water I buy there really safe? What about in the sink to brush my teeth? Is the shower safe to use if the water is not purified? What happens if I drink it by mistake?
We have 5 gallon bottles of purified water in each of the rooms and in the kitchen. This water, as well as the bottles you purchase in town, is safe to drink. The sink and shower water is not purified. We recommend you use the purified bottled water to brush your teeth. The city water is potable water; however, it is not recommended for drinking, as some person's digestive systems are more sensitive than others. If you forget and brush your teeth with the tap water, you likely won't notice a thing. One does not hear of many people getting sick from the water in Mexico anymore (perhaps too much tequila, but not the water).
The "agua mala" as they are called, come anytime from late March/April to early May. They are usually only around for about 3-4 days at a time, and then they leave. (They are food for sea turtles). Some people are affected by them and others are not.
What are the "bug seasons" there and how long are they? Are the bugs bad down there? What about reptiles and scorpions?
There is no true "bug season". However, we are in the tropics and we do have bugs. Mosquitoes are most abundant when there is more rain (late Sept/Oct). The mosquitoes are a nuisance usually only at dusk during these times. Because of our tropical location, its also common to spot geckos indoors and the occasional frog. You'll also see larger lizards outdoors and the occasional snake. Though it is not a very frequent occurance, once in a while a scorpoion makes it inside. However, the local scorpions are not poisonous and the sting is similar to a bee bite. If you spot one, let us know so we can help take care of it.
The current is 110, the same as in the USA. It is fine for your travel appliances.
There is a Casa de Cambio right in the center of Puerto Morelos to exchange money.
Whatever amount you are comfortable carrying around with you. It's easier to have pesos when you go to restaurants, use the bus, entry fees, etc.
There is really only a few cents difference from place to place.
You will get a better rate of exchange in Puerto Morelos than at the airport, and if you're planning to take a trip into Cancun or Playa del Carmen, you'll find an even better rate at the banks there.
We no longer accept travelers checks at Rancho. There is currently no place to change travelers checks in town.
What do you suggest? Should I bring dollars to exchange? Bring pesos? Travelers checks? Use ATMs and credit/debit cards?
Most of our guests find using ATMs to be most convenient since it allows them to carry less cash and it is generally the least expensive method of converting currency since you will usually get a better exchange rate through the ATM than through the Casa de Cambio. If you choose to bring cash, bringing dollars rather than pesos is advisable since you will most likely get a better exchange rate here than outside the country. Most restaurants and businesses will also accept dollars but they will most likely take them at a worse exchange rate than at the Casa del Cambio so it is best to exchange them before using them. We recommend against bringing travelers checks as many of our guests have found them to be an inconvenience since they cannot be exchanged in town.
Puerto Morelos currently has about 10,000 permanent residents. The town is divided into two areas. One area is on the beach, where Rancho is located. The other area is located behind the gasoline station on the highway. Most of the residents live in this latter area.
The walk to the center of Puerto Morelos is about 20-25 minutes. We also have bikes you can borrow free of charge (subject to availability), and the ride is about 10 minutes.
Puerto Morelos is a small town. There are only 3 streets in the part of town located on the beach.
There is a barrier reef (2nd largest in the world) that extends from north of Cancun down the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan Peninsula all the way to Honduras. This is the reef in front of Puerto Morelos. This stretch of reef is gorgeous for snorkeling. Parts of it come up to the surface. There are different kinds of coral and may different reef fish to be seen.
It is a hefty swim. The reef is about 1000 yards out in front of Ranch. It is a bit dangerous as well due to boat traffic. In town, the reef is a bit closer to the shore but as the Reef is a Natural Protected Area, one must pay the entry fee to enter legally. For those interested in visiting the Reef, in most cases it is best to go on a snorkeling tour which costs only 25 USD per person, and your guides will be sure to take you to the best spots around the Reef.
It is both. At Rancho we have created a rock wall to collect sand and the area is like a swimming pool. We maintain the beach daily to maintain its beauty. A walk towards and into town is sandy, and south of Rancho is partly rocky before getting to sandy beach again.
I am a woman traveling alone. How safe is it there at Rancho? In Puerto Morelos? How safe are my valuables in my room? Is the staff trustworthy? Where can I put my valuables? What's the crime rate/activity around there? If I go swim in the ocean will my things be safe on my towel?
Rancho is a very safe environment. You are provided with a key to your room, and safes are available in each room. You must ask the front desk for a lock and key, which will be given in exchange of a $50 deposit ,which is returned when you return the lock and key. Puerto Morelos is a very safe town, even for single women. There is very little crime here in town and virtually no crimes against a person (crime usually consists of stealing). Items left on the beach in front of Rancho are safe while someone is out swimming. It is not advisable to leave valuables unattended anywhere one travels. It is best to just have necessary items with you on other beaches if you plan to leave them unattended.
Diving – It says refresher course in the brochure – just what does that mean? What do you offer for divers? Do you take us out in a boat? Do you go dive by the reef? What if I'm already certified – then what does it cost and how long is it? Can I rent gear from you? How long does it take to get certified? Why so long? What if I just want to go diving once? How long do I get to actually scuba?
A refresher course is offered to someone who is certified but has not dived in several years. A resort course is offered to people who want to experience scuba diving, but not devote a lot of time to the certification class. With the resort course, one learns the basics necessary to do a shallow dive, then goes on a shallow dive with an instructor. It does not allow you to go and dive on your own. There are several dive shops in Puerto Morelos. Check out: wetset.com for one listing. Rancho itself does not provide dive services at this time. The shops here in town offer various certification courses and boat trips to do one or two tank dives and night dives. The cost of a basic certification course runs around $325USD and takes 4 days to complete and a resort course costs around $75USD and is completed in 1 day. If the classroom and pool work is completed in the States, you can arrive with a referral letter to complete the 4 open water dives required for certification. These can be completed in 2 days. If you only want to dive once, a resort course would be the way to go. The length of time underwater depends on the depth and breathing rate of each person. Average time would be about 30-50 minutes. A two tank dive costs around $50USD per day. The dive sites are between 10 and 60 minutes away by boat. All diving in this area is done from a boat. The dive sites are between 25'-110' in depth and are low profile reef with lots of fish life. Rancho does not have scuba gear for rent. However, we have masks, fins and snorkels for our guests' use.
Massage – What kind of massage? Are they good? How do you arrange a massage? Can/should I book it now? I'm a bodyworker. Can I do a trade with Rancho for lodging? Can I barter there for massage for me? Do they fill up quickly or can I usually get one easily?
Rancho has different massage therapists each year. They offer a variety of techniques from deep tissue, Swedish, Ayurvedic, relaxing, shiatsu, reflexology, Reiki, & various forms of energy work.. Yes, each is good! We have a massage sign up sheet with various times listed. You just write your name down and show up at that time. With several massage therapists on hand, you can usually schedule a time easily. There is no need to book ahead. Sorry, no trading for lodging. Doing trades with the massage therapists would be up to them.
There are several options for horseback riding nearby. One is within a 15 minute drive from Rancho. The costs vary depending on what you sign up for… an estimate is around $40USD for a ride. There are rides into the jungle as well as on the beach. Another trip goes only into the jungle, includes lunch and a swim in a cenote (fresh water spring) and costs $75USD per person for half day. There is no place to rent horses and ride by oneself.
Boats - Where can I rent my own boat to go fishing? Is there fishing in the area and what is available in town? Are there kayaks to rent nearby? How much?
There are no boat rentals for individual use. In town, you may hire a boat with its captain to take you out fishing. The cost for this runs about $150USD and the boats can generally handle 4 fishermen. These are small (25') boats that are used by the local fishermen. The prime time for fishing is mid March thru August. The catches include dorado (mahi mahi), tuna, marlin, sail fish, barracuda, wahoo, and other edible fish. There are kayaks available to rent in town. These are designed more for inside the reef as they are not ocean kayaks. They rent for about $5 per hour.
Tours – What guided tours are available in the area? Which are the best ruins to go to? Which ruins are more "off the beaten path"?
There are several people in town who offer guided tours. Some offer day tours to a local Mayan village, a swim in a cenote, a walk through the local forest or the botanical gardens, and a chance to see how some of the local Mayans live today. These tours can be arranged while at Rancho. Marco also offers "Cool Tours" which is a 2 night trip to some more out of the way places, including ruins, flamingos and haciendas.
There are several ruins in the area. Tulum is a small site located on the coast and is 1 hour from Rancho. Coba is 30 minutes inland from Tulum. Each is different and beautiful. Chichen Itza is the most well known site and is located 2.5 hours from Rancho. There are a few that are in this area that are more off the beaten path. Xel Ha ruins, located near Tulum and EkBalam ruins located on the way to Chichen Itza. Rancho staff can give directions to all of these sites. Rancho staff can set up any of these tours for you, but we do not take guests to the ruins.
The best attractions of the area are the ruins, beaches, the reef for snorkeling and scuba diving, the cenotes (fresh water sinkholes or springs, sometimes located in caves), and caves. There are various parks like Xcaret (has a bit of everything…snorkeling in underground rivers, snorkeling in the sea, sea turtles, aquarium, butterfly pavilion, aviary, incredible night time show). Other parks like Tres Rios (has 3 "rivers" that empty into the sea, kayaking and bike riding), Xel Ha, (snorkeling), XpuHa (sea and fresh water lagoon) can be a great addition to any day. Oh yeah, possibly the best attraction is the hammocks at Rancho... relax.
There are dolphins out here, but they are not usually seen unless one is out in a boat and they happen to be swimming by. There are a number of places to swim with the dolphins in captivity. Xcaret (30 minutes drive) has a swim with the dolphins program. There is a way to make a reservation for the swim. The cost is $80USD per person for the hour long program. (entry to the park is currently $40USD pp) Each of the other dolphin swims cost around $110USD per person.
For a detailed map and directions of how to get to Rancho Sak-Ol please see How to Find Us!
Do you have a transfer service to Rancho? How much does a taxi cost? Why so much at the airport? Can I take a taxi and get by if I don't speak Spanish? Do I pay in US dollars or Pesos?
To get to Rancho there is no transfer service offered, you are on your own. You can go to the window marked "Ground Transportation" and pay for an airport taxi. For a cutlass type of car or other taxi that can carry 1-4 people, the cost is $60-65USD. The price can change at any time and it is per vehicle, not per person. Travel time is approximately 20 minutes. They will accept US dollars or Pesos. Note: the cost to return from Puerto Morelos to the airport is about $35USD.
What does it cost to get around by bus? Can I take a bus to Rancho from the airport? Can't I walk to the bus terminal from the airport?
You can take a longer, more complicated, but less expensive route to Rancho via bus. You can go to the window marked "Ground Transportation" and ask for the bus to Playa del Carmen. Ask to get off at the Puerto Morelos stop. You then take a taxi into town and to Rancho for $7USD.
Do I really need to have a car in Mexico? Is it safe? Should I get the extra insurance? I hear people will break into cars there. What is the cost of renting a car? Can I rent it at the airport and is it easy? How much does it "normally" cost? What is the procedure to rent a car in Mexico? I get in so late is it safe to rent a car late at night?
Car rental is available. This is usually better if arranged in the U.S. and you have confirmation and rate upon arrival. Daily rental fees are expensive in Mexico. For a VW bug, you will pay about $50USD per day. For a car with AC, it will be about $70USD per day. These prices will vary depending on the type of car. You can rent a car however, for a day at a time right from Puerto Morelos. See the staff upon arrival and ask about how it's done right in town. The advantage to having a car is the flexibility of stopping off to visit some places, and coming and going as you please instead of waiting for a bus. Driving is safe… but paying attention to one's driving is very advisable. If you use certain credit cards, the insurance is included. Use your own judgment for getting extra insurance. Precautions are necessary anywhere one travels to… and this includes locking one's car here, and not tempting anyone with valuables in easy view. Theft is no more prevalent here than it is anywhere else. You can rent a vehicle upon your arrival at the airport. The car rental agencies are inside the airport, just as you come out of customs. For very late night arrivals (after 10PM), it is best to arrange ahead of time and tell the agency which flight you are on and ask if someone will be there with the car. You will need a drivers license for each person driving the vehicle, as well as 1 credit card. You can pay with cash when you return the car, but must leave the credit card bill open as a security deposit upon rental.
The requirements for U.S. citizens traveling Mexico are in a period of transition. Currently "All persons traveling by air outside of the United States are required to present a passport or other valid travel document to enter or re-enter the United States." This requirement is scheduled to be extended to sea and land travel by June 2009. For up to date information, please see the US State Department's website. For information regarding the requirements for entering and exiting Mexico, non-U.S. citizens should contact the nearest Mexican consulate for visa requirements and their own country's requirements for exiting and re-entering.
The weather in summer and winter only varies 10 degrees. Winter temps run 70's and 80's and summer temps are 80's and 90's. It is usually sunny all the time. To check out the current weather please check out your local cable weather channel or check out the weather on the Internet.
Aren't there hurricanes? How can I avoid them? When is the best time to go to Rancho and not have a hurricane?
For those of you who are ready for a vacation in the summer/ fall months, remember our unique hurricane policy. Hurricane season is officially listed as June 1 to November 1; however, hurricanes usually most often occur in September and October. They also usually head up the east coast. It is rare for a hurricane to come our way, but it does happen. What we want to offer since it is beautiful that time of year is this: If you have reservations at Rancho and 3 or 4 days ahead of time, and it looks like a hurricane is headed toward the Yucatan, we will gladly let you reschedule your reservations for the low season. If you are at Rancho and a hurricane is headed toward the Yucatan and you decide to leave Mexico, the money you have paid, for the time you have booked, will be credited to you for another equal period of time in the off season. i.e.: If you have been at Rancho for 3 days out of your week stay you have paid for, we will credit you with the whole week next year during low season (Based on availability). This applies only to room costs at Rancho. There's really no way to lose here.

To reach this cemetery travel down Thiessen Road in Grassy Plains BC. You will be able to spot a sign on the side of the road.
This is the cemetery for the Danskin Mennonite Church. The grass is moved but no other maintenance being preformed.
The rest of the graves are unmarked and I am unable to get the information on those persons who are buried in the unmarked graves.

We believe that content creators will drive 3D revolution. That is why we are introducing the first platform that solves the problem of creating and embedding 3D and AR/VR content in an affordable way. The platform uses blockchain infrastructure to store and manage 3D digital assets copyrights.
CAPP token is issued both to store the digital asset rights and as a payment solution for the Cappasity ecosystem.
Or scroll down for a brief overview
The Cappasity ecosystem is used by enterprises and ordinary users. The ecosystem encompasses a content storage, a decentralized copyrights storage, CAPP Wallet, Internal Exchange, API for the third-party developers, free utilities and modules allowing users to connect to the platform via websites, mobile and AR/VR applications. Developers will be supported through Cappasity Innovation Fund – www.cappasity.vc.
The CAPP tokens are Cappasity's digital asset and their main utility is the creation of a digital license for the content stored on the Cappasity platform or partners' platforms.
The cost of one copyright record creation is equal to 1 CAPP and does not depend on the exchange rate of the token. We keep track of copyrights on digital content using blockchain technology. In this case, one token is used to encode one 3D View or one 3D model.
CAPP tokens enable us to encode copyrights to store them in the blockchain, this process cannot be done without the tokens. We will provide users with an API to validate copyrights or retrieve data of a particular piece of content.
Developers of applications based on Unity or other engines
Developers that use content in their applications via the Cappasity plugins can utilize our technology for free, but they have to create copyright records for the content stored on their accounts. For instance, if a developer produces a VR store with a thousand objects, they shall use 1000 CAPP to get the necessary licenses. In this case, we guarantee that the content will not be used in any other application since the plugin validates the data before the app is prepared to be released. Developers, for their part, voluntarily confirm that they have all the necessary rights on the created content.
How to purchase tokens?
We will provide users with an internal exchange that helps to purchase tokens in a convenient way to use them only within the platform. The tokens are also available on KuCoin and Cryptopia.
What else are the CAPP tokens used for?
Users need tokens to rent and buy content and services within the platform. In addition, the tokens are used to support the third-party developers via the grants fund – the Cappasity Innovation Fund.
AR has the full potential to be a major element of e-commerce and m-commerce. Nevertheless, there are many other fields ready for AR/VR disruption. Goldman Sachs expects the AR/VR software market to achieve $35bn by 2025 with 60% of AR/VR software revenue driven by the consumer.
I regard AR as a big idea like the smartphone. The smartphone is for everyone, we don't have to think the iPhone is about a certain demographic, or country or vertical market: it's for everyone. I think AR is that big, it's huge. I get excited because of the things that could be done that could improve a lot of lives. And be entertaining.
Tim Cook
Apple CEO for The Independent
It is important to have lots of content creators working together now, because the technology companies have got the technology to a stage where the industry and consumers are ready for it. But I think it is now content creatives that will drive the next wave of improvement.
Neil Graham
Executive Producer at Sky VR Studios for CITI
There's always a richer, more immersive medium to experience the world, and after video, the next logical step is fully immersive virtual reality.
Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook CEO at the Oculus Connect 2 event
Just as content was the fuel that launched many successful technology products, our respondents clearly believe that high-quality and robust content is key to moving the AR/VR industry forward.
Kirk Soderquist
Perkins Coie Co-chair of Interactive Entertainment practice
The Cappasity platform is now live, and we are working on its new features and tools.
You can find the current version of Cappasity's roadmap here - https://trello.com/b/z4OZeLKW/cappasity-roadmap
Founders get 1/24th of their tokens every month for 24 months—a practice widely known as vesting—incentivizing them to steadily achieve roadmap milestones with persistence.
The Cappasity Innovation Fund rewards the developers of the most promising apps. However, this is not a contest but a year-round challenge. The number of awards is dependent on the available funds.
The Reward Fund is assigned for active content creators. The most active content creators and contributors will be systematically rewarded. Moderators and active community members will be stimulated as presented on this pie chart as well.
Cappasity was founded in 2013 with the aim of developing a technological standard and an easy and scalable platform for creation, embedding and analysis of 3D and AR/VR content.
Cappasity has been working with Intel since 2014, and developed a 3D scanning software for Intel® RealSense™ 3D cameras — Easy 3D Scan™ is featured on the Intel RealSense Showcase. Cappasity has successfully raised $4.9M and launched its platform and 3D digitizing software in 2017.
Today, each month the platform serves more than 1,000,000 views of 3D content. Furthermore, the company provides a comprehensive solution to create content for virtual (VR) and augmented reality (AR). The platform features were designed to be open to other developers using Unity, Unreal Engine, Apple ARKit and Google ARCore technology.
The company's founders have been working in 3D technology for over 15 years and are experienced with IT business development. The team includes technology experts in the field of computer vision, SaaS solutions, 3D engine development for apps, 3D mobile and video games.
Cappasity graduated Plug and Play Retail (Sunnyvale) Batch 7 accelerator and was selected to join the Dec 2017 Batch of the Lafayette Plug and Play acceleration program in Paris.

bond no. 9 andy warhol silver factory.
bond no. 9 is introducing a new andy warhol-inspired scent. andy warhol silver factory is one of those fragrances that transforms you (or at least me) to another place and time. i grew up in the same town where the original woodstock festival occurred, and this scent reminds me of august, when the original hippies would return to celebrate the anniversary of the festival. it is very incense-intense. it is unisex scent, which i didn't think worked particularly well with my chemistry. however, i could see it being very sexy on a man, or paradoxically a very feminine woman.
it will be available in december, right in time for the holidays.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Newest Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha was on Sportsradio 610 WIP Wednesday morning and said he is just becoming aware of the much-heated rivalry between the Birds and the Dallas Cowboys.
Asomugha, who signed a five-year, $60 million contract that includes $25 million in guaranteed money, was on with Glen Macnow and Rob Ellis from training camp at Lehigh University.
Asomugha said that he is just finding out about the rivalry with Dallas and that he didn't know about it until he arrived in Philadelphia.
He told Macnow and Ellis that the Eagles were at the top of his list and that the "Eagles came out on top each time" every time he weighed his free-agency options.
Listen To The Entire Asomugha Interview:
With Asomugha joining Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Asante Samuel in the Eagles secondary, many have speculated that Samuel could be on the trading block.
But Asomugha said all three could pose trouble for opposing offenses.
"It allows us to put our top talents on the field at the same time. It's definitely going to work in our favor," Asomugha said.
Asomugha said he is flexible and could line up at cornerback or safety if the team needed him to do so.
"I can play anywhere. Wherever they want me to play I can play and do a good job for the squad."

Today a new world order is being established in the wake of a heavy sacrifice of African lives – after the shock of thousands of deaths registered in Ivory Coast, with 1,200 inhabitants of Duékoué massacred, and dozens of thousands of casualties in Libya.
April 23, 2011
"All of our institutions have failed us if they do not use their power and act against this crime against humanity being carried out in Africa today. I received a call this morning from an Ivorian friend who calls it genocide what Sarkozy's troops are doing there. Blood, blood, everywhere. Depleted uranium in Libya. Generations to come will suffer the health effects. We must try to stop President Obama. He has the power to say no. So far, he is good at saying yes to all the wrong people. So we must do more than we think we can. Anything less places more blood on everyone's hands." – Cynthia McKinney

Chuck Norris – Walker, Texas Ranger lyrics
In the eyes of a ranger,
The unsuspected stranger
Had better know the truth of wrong from right,
'cause the eyes of a ranger are upon you,
Any wrong you do he's gonna see,
When you're in Texas look behind you,
'cause that's where the rangers are gonna be
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/chuck_norris/walker_texas_ranger.html
