A new Epidemic
It may seem silly to call the rise in gastrointestinal diseases caused by our affluent society an epidemic. Still, it canâ??t be denied that the human suffering, the work days missed and the health care expenses have many in our modern society yearning for the good old days.
Medical costs for digestive problems are estimated at 50 billion dollars a year. About 200,000 workers stay home from work every day because they are suffering from sudden constipation or diarrhea or some other digestive disturbance.
Are we Poisoning Ourselves?
A lot of adults will concur that they suffer from sluggish bowels. Many wholistic practitioners believe this toxic build-up in our colon is a form of autointoxication. This waste material that sits in our colons for far too long can, over time, cause many chronic degenerative diseases.
Then, there is a re-absorption into the bloodstream of all that waste that gets carried throughout the body.
Some of the results of this are chronic fatigue and body weakness, depression, nervousness, skin problems, ulcers, headaches, arthritic joints, swelling in the feet and hands- the list goes on.
You would think that any country that spends a cool billion dollars a year on antacids has a health concern going on.
Common Digestive Complaints
Letâ??s take a look at some of the ways that our bowels are complaining to us about our lifestyle.
- Diarrhea – Although itâ??s a common symptom, it can develop for hundreds of reasons. Over use of laxatives, an adverse reaction to a medication, complications of diabetes and thyroid trouble and infection from contaminated foods or drink are some of the things that cause diarrhea.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome – Doctors attribute this disorder to stress. It shows as bloating, abdominal discomfort, gas, diarrhea and sometimes-sudden constipation. This illness can stop making someoneâ??s life miserable as fast as it began, with no real noticeable reason for this happening.
- Diverticular Disease – Little pouches that develop in the walls of the large bowel cause this. It can affect about ½ of the population of people over 50, but it doesnâ??t always have symptoms. When the little pouches get inflamed, there is pain, diarrhea or sudden constipation and fever. Surgery is a last resort, but might be necessary if diet changes and medications fail.
- Colitis – Nobody has found the cause of this inflammation of the colon. It usually shows up when people are in their 20â??s and 30â??s. Severe diarrhea, with blood and mucus in the stool and abdominal pain are symptoms. Medications can help, but most of the time surgery is needed.
- Crohnâ??s disease – This disease seems to affect young people, too. Stomachache, diarrhea and weight loss are signals of the disease. Some people can manage with medication, but most will need surgical intervention.
- Cancer – Any sudden change in bowel habit, such as sudden constipation should be looked into. There may also be persistent abdominal pain, weight loss and bleeding from the bowel. Colon cancer is on the rise, but is often cured if caught early.
Colon Cancer
Many report that sudden constipation is what alarmed them enough to go to a doctor. As colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer, people need to be clear about the importance of early treatment. If you are enjoying regularity and you develop sudden constipation, have it looked at by your doctor.
Other than sudden constipation you should never wait to see your physician if your bowel movements are black. This is often a sign of bleeding from somewhere.
If you or someone you know has a genetic predisposition to cancer, it is a good idea to make diet changes now. A diet that is high in meat, or high in fat and low in fiber is putting your health at risk.
Remember: people who are 50 years and over are at a higher risk of developing colon cancer, so any warning sign, such as sudden constipation, should have you making an appointment with your physician.
A Healthy Colon
If youâ??ve been eating a lot of unhealthy foods, a good colon cleansing might be in order. Many people are opting for a spring-cleaning of the colon and claim renewed vitality, better skin and nails and other health benefits because of it.
There is no need for taking any harsh, colon-cleansing regimes that have you sitting near the bathroom door. One product that is very gentle and uses natural oxygenated magnesium, germanium and citric acid to actually liquefy and clean out waste material is Oxy-Powder®. You may not suffer from sudden constipation, but if youâ??ve had bouts of constipation or sluggish movements, chances are youâ??ll want to do some cleansing. It is never too late to get your colon in tip-top shape.

Do not clean your fine crystal and glassware with scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Always store your stemware upright to help prevent chipping.
California residents only: "Proposition 65" WARNING
Red Wine Glass: A red wine glass displays a fuller, rounder bowl than most glasses. This allows you to dip your nose into the glass to experience the wine's aroma. The bulbous setting of the glass allows the bouquet to aerate and develop while the longer stem provides the ability to swish the glass.
White Wine Glass: These glasses showcase more of a U-shape than red wine glasses. This allows a more concentrated aroma (whites are often not as pungent as reds) while also maintaining cool temperature.
Sparkling Wine Glass: The sparkling wine glass is most commonly known as a flute. This is because of its long, thin shape. This shaping helps the wine retain its carbonation and preserve flavoring.
Dessert Wine Glass: The dessert wine glass is the smallest type. Its short stem and glass are contrasted with a wide bouquet. Dessert wines have the highest concentration of alcohol, making their short stature a necessity. Finally, the wide bouquet allows the wine to aerate and develop properly overtime.

– Aron Cramer is president and CEO of BSR, a global business network and consultancy focused on sustainability. The views expressed are his own. —
As the World Economic Forum's "Summer Davos" meeting in Dalian, China, gets underway, it is a bit chilling to think back to how the financial crisis was unfolding in real time during last year's event.
As the 1,000 leaders gathering for this year's event spend three days debating how to restore economic growth and social stability, the need to focus on a long-term transition to a more sustainable economy is clearer than ever.
Doing this will require unprecedented cooperation among businesses and consumers. The companies that build new business models and innovative products and services will win in the reset world, and shape an economy that avoids disruptions like the one that erupted last fall.
At this year's meeting, I am chairing two workshops, where we will explore how to build new models of production and consumption that hold the potential to create not only a return to growth, but to a more sustainable model of growth.

A public fund is now established for anyone who would like to help a 9-year-old Prattville boy who was injured in an accidental shooting.
Bank officials with First Community Bank of Central Alabama say the "Faulk Family Fund" has been established to help the family. Donations can be made at any branch. [BRANCH LOCATIONS]
When the Autauga Academy Generals played a double-header Tuesday, head coach Joe Faulk wasn't in the dugout or in the third base box. That's because the coach is in Birmingham at Children's Hospital, caring for his young son.
Prattville police say third grader Amos Faulk was accidentally shot once in the chest at a friend's home on Upper Kingston Road last Thursday.
Pitcher Zach Paulene said the coach's absence was going to be a little odd. The team's assistant coaches took over as the players took on Lyman Ward School to honor their coach.
"It's going to be a little weird not having Coach Joe out there, but I feel like we can get out there and play the baseball he taught us to play," Paulene said Tuesday.
"The cardiologist came in and said he's going to make a full recovery heart-wise, but he did have a setback with his collapsed lung," said Autauga Academy Athletic Director Michael Sims.
There are several fundraisers in the works. Sims says the family's biggest need right now is food. Coach Sims is encouraging people who want to help the family to call the school.
"This will be less stress on them and it will allow them to focus on Amos so he can recover," Sims said.
The popular third grader is not out of the woods yet, but he's getting there. Barring anymore setbacks Amos should be home in two weeks.
Back on the diamond players like Paulene miss the little boy who often hung out with the team, nothing like a close call to put the game of baseball in its proper perspective.
"As long as we know he's okay that's all that matters," Paulene said. It's a lesson Zach Paulene is learning today.

COALMONT, TN (WRCB) -- Some Grundy County residents want to know why work appears to have stopped on a heavily traveled road mid-way through a massive project. People living in Coalmont along Dogtown Road want to know what's the hold up.
Channel 3 talked to around a dozen people living along Dogtown Road who are upset about the current condition of the road. They want to know why it was stripped down to gravel in July, but they haven't seen crews working to finish the resurfacing project since."It's rough like a washboard. Running over a washboard," Grundy County resident Glen King said.
Glen King lives a couple towns over. He says he was shocked to see the condition of Dogtown Road when passing through today."You don't watch, the gravel will throw you off the road," King said.
Several upset neighbors say their cars are being torn up, but wouldn't go on camera-- saying they're afraid to make some Grundy County leaders angry by complaining. They just want to know why crews aren't out working on it.
Grundy County Highway Superintendent Dewayne Hargis says work hasn't stopped. He says crews haven't been out for a combination of reasons. He says the first is that the county started its phase of the project before the contract bid for the second phase of the state aided project was signed. Then, he says Mother Nature stepped in.
"The storms has put us way behind, but we're trying to get caught back up," Grundy County Highway Superintendent Dewayne Hargis said.Why aren't crews out on a sunny day like today? He says the new tiles and gravel take weeks to settle before asphalt can go down."It takes a little time for it to set and bond back together," Hargis said.
Several neighbors say they've heard rumors the county didn't have money to finish the project, but Hargis wants everyone to know that's not the case.
"Rumors fly around and you never know the truth until you hear it from the real man," Dogtown Road resident Matthew Kilgore said."Very sorry it's like this but it takes time to build a road and when you're doing a road like this it takes a lot of patience," Hargis said.
Hargis says residents won't see improvements to Dogtown Road until mid to late October.
Again, he says that's because the elements under the road need more time to settle without rain. He says the road didn't have a foundation before, so they're laying down several inches of rock base, then new tiles, then they'll asphalt it and stripe it.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

"There is no line," Salt Lake City based lawyer Mark Alvarez said before a tightly packed group at the headquarters of Comunidades Unidas.
In the small room, people fanned themselves while others stood outside snapping pictures through the window to try to capture the historic day allowing illegal immigrants ages 15 to 30 to apply through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for a two-year temporary work permit under a policy known as "deferred action."
And even though the requirements are strict — no criminal convictions, be enrolled in school, have a high school diploma, GED or have served honorably in the military — speakers offered hope to attendees.
Jessica Vega, who was brought to the U.S. as a child, will be applying for the deferred action.
"You'll be able to look at me and know I exist," Vega said. "Even though I've always existed."
Vega is a member of the Salt Lake Dream Team — a group that has been fighting for passage of the Dream Act, which is similar to President Barack Obama's deferred action policy, with one key exception: The Dream Act allows a pathway to citizenship while deferred action does not.
"No es Dream Act," Alvarez said clearly to everyone in the room.
But for Vega, just the ability to move forward with an education and the possibility to work was a positive turn. Now there was simply the matter of applying for it.
To help, the American Civil Liberties Union of Utah, Catholic Community Services, the Mexican Consulate and the Dream Team are kicking off workshops next week that will help people navigate whether they're eligible or not as well as how to fill out the paperwork required by the federal government.
Lorina Tester, an attorney with the American Immigration Lawyers Association, cautioned people not to commit fraud when applying — noting that if applications were discovered to be inaccurate, it would bar them for any future immigration opportunity.
She said the process also built in confidentiality into the application, meaning USCIS wouldn't use information provided to turn the person over to authorities for deportation.
The other concern for groups is getting the word out to people who are eligible but don't know about the announcement made by the president in June or the launch of the application process Wednesday.
Heidi Chamorro, a volunteer project coordinator with the workshops, said advocates will be pushing information on Spanish-language radio, posting flyers at grocery stores and shops and using Facebook and other social media to bring people into the program.
"We want to try and reach as many people as possible," she said.
According to the Pew Hispanic Center, about 1.7 million people could be eligible for the deferred action policy — with about 8,000 in Utah, according to data provided by Comunidades Unidas and the Immigration Policy Center.

You basically said you just liked all the old ones with not liking any newer films which is buyist and untrue (with the exception of drive which was good half way through and turned grotesque and murdeous, and the other kurt russel flickwasn't bad but twisted and about a lunatic madmen driver). I really feel that whoever wrote this just has bad taste. I mean days of thunder is a film for the family and gone in 60 seconds is totally a guy flick for "guys who like movies about car." Also the fast and furious movies are in no way "worst" i would not say all of them are "winners" but they are at least ok. Godbless

Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York
New York Restaurant Worker Health & Safety Project
Funded by the National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH)
Saru Jayaraman
Project Description:
The primary purpose of this project is to empower immigrant restaurant workers in New York City to have greater control over their occupational safety and health and to work with employers in the industry to understand the importance of these workers' occupational safety and health to their success and the success of the City's industry. This goal is being achieved through a collaborative process that enhances the understanding of job hazards, injuries and illness in the restaurant industry; develops and tests model practices in ergonomics and work organization in a new restaurant; creates new leadership among restaurant workers; and conducts an annual Restaurant Industry Summit and other activities to promote public dialogue and to stimulate real policy options for change in the industry.
Project Aims
- To create a sustainable Restaurant Safety & Health Task Force comprised of restaurant workers, employers, and the four partnering institutions to design and oversee the project research and intervention activities and to promote policy recommendations that arise from the project research and intervention activities;
- To understand and describe, through the use of both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the nature, extent, constraints and context of work-related hazards, injuries and illnesses among restaurant workers, with a special emphasis on immigrant workers;
- To design and test a set of improved ergonomic and work organizational conditions in a model cooperatively owned restaurant;
- To develop a culturally and linguistically appropriate educational program 'classes and curriculum' to enhance the ability of restaurant workers to prevent job-related injuries and illnesses;
- To conduct a set of complementary activities, including worker educational programs, an employer technical assistance service, a Restaurant Industry Summit, and industry-specific health care and model workplace practice guidelines, which will arise as result of the knowledge and experience gained in the course of the proposed project.

Stress Relax 5-HTP 50 mg. - 60 Capsules
The lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in this stress-filled era results in lowered levels of serotonin within the brain. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical serotonin. Supplementing with 5-HTP provides natural support for emotional well-being.
What is 5-HTP:5-HTP is used by the human body to make serotonin, an important substance for normal nerve and brain function. Serotonin appears to play significant roles in sleep, emotional moods, pain control, inflammation, intestinal peristalsis, and other body functions.
Where is it found?5-HTP is not present in significant amounts in a typical diet. The human body manufactures 5-HTP from L-tryptophan, a natural amino acid found in most dietary proteins. However, eating food that contains L-tryptophan does not significantly increase 5-HTP levels. Supplemental 5-HTP is naturally derived from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African medicinal plant.
Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health.
Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

Sazerac Recipe
The Sazerac is a cocktail originally made with brandy; its unique flavor comes from the addition of Peychaud's Bitters and the Herbsaint. "She has a weakness for Sazerac Slings; give her even the fruit and she swings." So go the lyrics to Stephen Sondheim's "Have I Got a Girl for You," from his 1970 Broadway hit Company. The Sazerac was en vogue during that era of experimentation with exotic cocktails, but now it is rarely found outside the city of its birth, New Orleans.
Creole apothecary Antoine Peychaud, who moved to New Orleans from the West Indies and set up shop in the French Quarter in the early 1800s, is credited with the earliest version of this drink. He mixed aromatic bitters from an old family recipe with brandy, water, and sugar for his ailing clients. What precisely ailed them is not known, but enough people suffered from the affliction that the concoction became the basis for what some historians claim to be the first true cocktail. While this is open to dispute, few will argue that the Sazerac is New Orleans's preeminent contribution to mixology. By the 1850s, the drink was served at the Sazerac Coffee House, which took its name from the Sazerac-de-Forget et Fils brandy imported by the establishment's owner, John B. Schiller. The bar changed hands, and new owner Thomas Handy updated the recipe by substituting American whiskey and adding a splash of absinthe for color—if not color-blindness. When absinthe was banned, Herbsaint, a New Orleans version of the licorice-tasting pastis, was... read more
- 1 sugar cube
- 1 1/2 ounces rye or American whiskey
- 2 dashes of Peychaud's Bitters
- Dash of angostura bitters
- Dash of absinthe (can substitute Herbsaint, Pernod, or Ricard)
- Twist of lemon peel
- Fill an Old Fashioned glass with ice. Put the sugar cube in a second Old Fashioned glass with just enough water to moisten it; then crush the cube.
- Add the rye, the two bitters, and a few cubes of ice, and stir. Discard the ice from the first glass, and pour in the absinthe.
- Turn the glass to coat the sides with the absinthe; then pour out the excess. Strain the rye mixture into the absinthe-coated glass. Twist and squeeze a lemon peel over the glass. Rub the rim of the glass with the peel, discarding it when finished.
This recipe, while from a trusted source, may not have been tested by the CHOW food team.

By Patti D on November 26, 2013
I always followed by Mom's stuffing recipe, which really was not a written down recipe. I just watched what she did and never forgot. Once I tried this recipe I incorporated it into my Thanksgiving routine. I always add rice and saltine crackers. I do sometimes use a bag of cubed Pepperidge farm stuffing instead of loaves of bread. I also sauté the liver and heart (part of my Mom's recipe) with sausage. I make my own stock from roasted turkey wings (Tyler Florence recipe). I love this stuffing and I put some in the bird and leave some out of the bird. It is great both ways! Love you Paula!!

Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko made a call for peace following one-on-one talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin over the conflict wracking eastern Ukraine.
"Our main goal is peace. We demand resolute actions that will bring peace to the Ukrainian land," he said on Wednesday in a statement posted on his official website.
It's not yet clear how the apparent diplomatic progress will translate into a halt in fighting on the ground.
Ukraine's National Defense and Security Council told reporters at a briefing Wednesday that Russian forces were directing massive artillery fire over the border at the town of Novoazovsk, in the south of the Donetsk region.
Russian forces and pro-Russia rebels have seized villages around the town, the NSDC said.
The NDSC also claimed that members of a Russian tactical battalion were present in the village of Pobeda, in Ukraine's Luhansk region.
"If these troops got lost and accidentally found themselves in Ukraine as well, they should go back East," the update said.
On Tuesday, Ukraine's Security Service said it had detained 10 Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Russian state media cited a source in the Russian Defense Ministry as saying the soldiers had been patrolling the border and "most likely crossed by accident" at an unmarked point.
Moscow has repeatedly denied allegations by Kiev that it has sent troops over the border.
Poroshenko and German Changellor Angela Merkel discussed the outcome of the Minsk meeting by phone Wednesday, his office said.
Putin: 'Positive' meeting
Poroshenko said Tuesday's talks in Minsk, Belarus, with Putin focused on the issue of border control "to prevent the movement of armored vehicles, mercenaries and ammunition."
Ukraine and Russia have agreed to begin consultations between border guards and general staff commanders, he added via Twitter.
The meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, was the first for the leaders since they met briefly in June on the sidelines of events to commemorate D-Day.
It came at a summit held by the Moscow-led Customs Union, a trade bloc which also includes Belarus and Kazakhstan. Senior European Union officials were also present in Minsk, with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton at their head.
Putin said the bilateral meeting was "positive" and that he and Poroshenko agreed on the need to "renew our dialogue."
Putin told reporters that Russia couldn't be involved in ceasefire talks because those discussions should be between Kiev and separatists in eastern Ukraine. Moscow is willing to assist, he added.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in remarks Wednesday broadcast by state-run TV channel Russia 24, said it was important that Ukraine engaged in dialogue with all parts of the country.
He also indicated that Russia would send another aid convoy into eastern Ukraine. More than 200 trucks crossed the border from Russia last week without Ukraine's permission, a move condemned by the West as a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty.
Ukraine and the West have repeatedly accused Moscow of fomenting the unrest by supporting and arming the pro-Russia rebels in eastern Ukraine's Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
Moscow in turn says Kiev has precipitated a humanitarian crisis in the predominantly Russian-speaking east of the country by pursuing its military campaign against the rebels.
'Road map' for peace
Speaking after the talks, at a joint news conference with Ashton, Poroshenko said a "road map" would be drawn up on the basis of his previously announced peace plan.
Consultations will be made through a contact group to try to reach a ceasefire as soon as possible, he said.
That ceasefire would be monitored by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, he said, "which will be able to monitor and verify the ceasefire, which has to be two-sided by any means."

Review: 2008 Nissan Rogue
This 2008 review is representative of model years 2008 to 2013.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Nissan's first compact SUV has zoomy styling to match its rather theatrical name.
Japanese automakers long have put unusual names on cars not sold in America. But Nissan's 2008 Rogue has a name that should play well both in Japan and America because it looks sexy and is pretty fast — at least for a practical 4-cylinder vehicle.
The refined Rogue is Nissan's first entry in the increasingly crowded compact SUV/crossover-utility vehicle market. It comes in S and higher-line SL trim levels with front- or all-wheel drive.
Prices are competitive. They start at $19,250 for the front-wheel-drive S, which costs $20,450 with all-wheel drive. They end at $21,870 for the SL with all-wheel drive. The front-wheel-drive SL lists at $20,670.
Even the S is pretty well-equipped, with such items as air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD audio system, split/fold rear bench seat and power windows, mirrors and locks with remote keyless entry.
The SL has more standard equipment and is offered with options not available for the S. Major SL extras include an $800 moonroof, $1,800 Leather Package that contains a power driver's seat and heated leather-covered seats.
Standard for both trim levels are front-seat side airbags and side-curtain airbags for both seating rows.
Smooth, Potent Engine
You can get the CVT with optional steering-wheel paddle shifters, but they're rather superfluous for most because the Rogue only weighs about 3,400 pounds and thus has lively acceleration without the need for manual shifting.
Fake Ratios
Fuel economy with front-wheel drive is an estimated 22 mpg in the city and 27 on highways. The figures are 21 and 26 with the versatile all-wheel-drive system. That's not much of a mileage hardship, considering the added traction provided by all-wheel drive, which often causes estimated economy to slip more in both city and highway driving.
The Rogue accelerates quickly, with a brisk 65-75 mph passing time and good acceleration to highway cruising speeds. The 4-cylinder seemingly provides the punch of a decent V6.
Fun to Drive
While handling is good, the Rogue doesn't like being pushed too hard because it has front-heavy (60 percent) weight distribution. Stability and traction control systems help keep the Rogue on the road in dicey conditions.
Anti-lock brakes with electronic brake force distribution assure steady stopping, and the brake pedal has the right amount of firmness.
The floor is a little higher than a car's, so extra effort is needed to get in. But door handles are large, and front door openings are wide. On the other hand, rear door openings should be wider for easier entry and exit. Interior handles for all doors are large.
Nice Interior
A pull-down hook on the rear of the front passenger seat can hold such items as a purse or dry cleaning — a small, but thoughtful, touch.
A manual-tilt steering wheel helps various-sized drivers get comfortable, but the oddly styled fuel and coolant temperature gauges are tiny. The plastic pull-out rear cupholders look sturdy, but are set low near the floor at the rear of the front console. The glove compartment is especially large, and front doors have storage pockets.
Easy Cargo Loading
A moderately deep covered area below the rear of the cargo floor allows you to conceal objects, besides providing an area for wet or dirty items.
New Rogue owners may search in vain for awhile to find the manual hood prop because it's on the underside of the hood instead of being conventionally located low and near the radiator. But the sideways mounted engine allows lots of room under the hood for easy access to fluid filler areas.
The nicely built Rogue should do well in its rookie year because it's stylish, practical and should be cheap to own and operate.

The history of Cala Luna: discovering a utopia for luxury
The founders of Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas, Antonio Pilurzu and Grietje and Els Depypere, long dreamed of opening a luxury hotel in an enchanted corner of the world. After many happy years of living in Sardinia – a beautiful island in the south of Italy – they decided to pursue new horizons, and traveled to Costa Rica.
When they landed, they rented a car and for several months drove the length of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. But they fell in love with Playa Langosta, just a few minutes from the beach town of Tamarindo, and knew it was the ideal site for their new boutique hotel.
In 1996, they opened the Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas. The name is inspired by Moon Bay in Sardinia, which in Italian translates to Cala Luna. There, the turquoise water is so clear, you can see straight to the bottom and the area is an oasis where visitors come to relax and enjoy the good life.
The Pilurzu-Depypere family began by planting a wealth of native trees on the largely scrubby terrain in this under-developed corner of Playa Langosta. At the time, the land was dotted with just a few Guacimo trees, but little by little, the family cultivated the area into the natural paradise it is today.
The owners pride ourselves on offering the perfect blend of personalized service and luxurious architectural design at Cala Luna. They selected only the finest details to be a part of this boutique hotel in Costa Rica. Still a family owned and managed resort, Cala Luna has maintained its status as the best luxury destination in the area because its staff and owners care for each of our guests as though they were part of the family.
Similarly, our staff strive to make our guests feel at home from the minute you check in until your vacation comes to an end because the key to our success lies in the people who work every day to make you feel at home. With more than 60 employees throughout the property – working in the garden, maintenance, kitchens, bars, housecleaning, reception area and much more, and most of whom are local residents of the Tamarindo area – return guests will be sure to see some familiar faces.
Our mission
Our guests are our reason for being at Cala Luna – therefore, day after day, we work tirelessly to ensure each guest receives the absolute best, personalized service. Our goal is to cater to each guest's needs and desires to create for you the most enjoyable luxury vacation imaginable, one that gives birth to memories that will last a lifetime.
We aim to achieve this mission by getting to know our guests on a personal level and going the extra mile to accommodate any special requests you might have. Whether you come as a family, as a couple on a romantic retreat, or a group of friends or business associates, we continually strive to ensure your time in Costa Rica will be unforgettable.
Our vision
Our vision at Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas in Tamarindo is to create the premier luxury vacation experience in Costa Rica, through a dedication to individualized attention to each of our guests within a serene and beautiful environment.
Our values
First and foremost, we value our guests – their comfort, safety, security and enjoyment during their stay with us at Cala Luna in Costa Rica.
We know that a team of dedicated staff, who serve our beloved guests, is vital to our success and we therefore pledge to treat our team with respect. We also recognize that without a stunningly beautiful natural landscape, our hotel would not be the fine, luxury boutique it is today. To that end, we value our country's environmental well-being and we help protect the environment in a variety of ways, including:
• reusing gray water from our kitchen and laundry for irrigating our gardens and natural areas
• using only biodegradable detergent for the laundry
• feeding edible kitchen and other vegetable waste to our animals (pigs, goats, ducks and chickens) off hotel property at La Senda ranch.
Additionally, we have made a conscious choice to serve food and wines that are produced using sustainable and eco-friendly practices. For example:
• our organic and biodynamic wine list – we are the only hotel to adopt this practice
• all fish served at our restaurant is caught locally by local fishermen; we no longer serve fish, such as tuna, that is caught by commercial fishing practices that unnecessarily kill large amounts of other marine wildlife
• limiting fumigation against pets as much as possible
• adhering to organic practices in our gardens and around the Cala Luna grounds wherever posible.
Without the help of many other talented individuals and organizations, Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas wouldn't be the success it is today. Therefore, we offer this space to thank those who contributed in a variety of ways to the hotel. The contributions of those listed here are deeply appreciated and their knowledge and expertise are valuable assets to our business. Thank you!

Iranian eggplant and tomato dip (Mirza Ghassemi)
My childhood friend Constantin took me out in Dubai to a really fancy Iranian restaurant, knowing that I love Iranian cuisine.

It was light, full of tomato and garlic flavor, and […]11 Comments

Eggplant and ground meat sauce (Batersh)

Boston gun buybacks planned after shooting death of 9-year-old
A Boston gun buyback program is in the works to reduce shootings following the death last week of a 9-year-old boy who was shot by his 14-year-old brother in an apparent accident, Mayor Marty Walsh said.
Walsh, who took office last month, said he was still developing a specific plan, including how much would be paid and how collection would work, with the city's newly appointed police commissioner, William Evans.
"It's a short-term solution," Walsh told reporters on Saturday. "We need help from the community, we need help from these people to let us know where these guns are, who has these guns, so we can get them off the street."
Boston has seen a spike in fatal shootings this year, with eight firearm-related homicides reported as of Feb. 2, up from two during the same period last year, according to Boston Police Department data. The figure does not include Friday's shooting of the 9-year-old boy, whom authorities have not identified.
Other major U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, run periodic buybacks, which aim to reduce the number of guns in circulation and to decrease accidental shootings and thefts of guns, which are then used in crimes.
The buybacks are not without controversy. Last year, Arizona lawmakers tried to prohibit cities from destroying guns collected in buybacks, saying they should be resold to raise revenue, a measure that advocates of the buybacks argued ran counter to their goal of having fewer guns in circulation.
Advocates of gun rights, which are protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, argue that increased gun ownership would reduce crime by causing criminals to fear the consequences of violent action.
Walsh last week joined Mayors Against Illegal Guns, an organization founded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Walsh's predecessor, Thomas Menino. Bloomberg's successor, Bill de Blasio, has also joined the group, which lobbies for restrictions on gun ownership.
