Great Yoga bag!
By Patsy
from Ottawa, Ontario
I've been looking for a yoga for a very long time. I have very specific needs in mind when I think of my yoga bag including a lot of pockets, great handles and of course color! I found everything in this bag. I also like the material in which the bag is made from as it's easy to wipe off any dirt or stains. There're also feet on the bottom of the bag so it helps it stands street when I have everything in it. I can get a lot into this bag including my shoes, two outfits, my yoga blocks, my yoga towel and even my yoga mat. I get a lot of compliments on the color and everybody has been asking where I bought this bag. For me it's the answer to my two-year search for the perfect yoga bag!

Dubuisson fights back in Arizona
11:40pm Sunday 23rd February 2014 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
Victor Dubuisson battled back to force extra holes against Jason Day in the final of the £5.4million WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship on Sunday.
Dubuisson conceded the first two holes at Dove Mountain and although he got back on level terms by the fourth, the Frenchman bogeyed four of the next five to fall three down at the turn.
The gap was still three with just six holes remaining only for Dubuisson to reduce his deficit with a birdie on the 13th and then keep the match alive with another on the 17th after Day had missed his birdie attempt to seal victory.
And when Day three-putted the 18th from 65 feet, Dubuisson saved par from a greenside bunker to keep his hopes alive of winning a WGC title at his first attempt.

When comedian Joan Rivers thought her New York apartment was haunted about 15 years ago, she called on New Orleans voodoo priestess Sallie Ann Glassman to perform a "spiritual cleansing" of the brownstone.
Glassman says the pair became friends during that meeting, at which Glassman wore a flowing white gown and chased off the disturbing spirits in a night of rituals.
Rivers says Glassman's efforts worked.
Next month, the comedian is heading to New Orleans to return the favor.

It refers to a teardrop or tadpole shape filled in with different colors and patterns. Paisly prints are used on everything from household goods to clothing. This cotton paisley dress is a pattern of blues and greens. Both the girl and doll dress feature a ruffle on the shoulder strap, two rows of ruffles on the bodice and a ruffle hemline. The dress is cool, comfortable and fashionable. The doll dress is sold separately for an additional $9.50.

Yeah, I know the title doesn't make any sense haha. I don't like using a weather team, but I also realize how effective and common they are. So I included Tyranitar on this team mainly to cancel out opposing weather (and because Sandstorm has less of an impact on things than Sun or Rain), but also because Tyranitar is good in his own right. I haven't played in a while, but heard about PS and thought I'd give it a try. I haven't been able to play around with the team quite as much as I may have liked to far, but I have been happy with it, if not thrilled. Tyranitar (F) @ Expert Belt Trait: Sand Stream EVs: 252 HP / 64 SAtk / 192 SDef Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spe) - Crunch/Pursuit - Superpower/Stone Edge - Fire Blast - Ice Beam As I mentioned above, the main motivation for including Tyranitar was the ability to cause a Sandstorm, more for the ability to cancel out opposing weather than for using it myself. I decided to use Tyranitar's versatile moveset to my advantage and went with 4 attacking moves plus Expert Belt. If Tyranitar hasn't seen much action yet, Expert Belt can fake a Choice Item, allowing me to catch an opponent completely by surprise and possible OHKO a second Pokemon. I wanted to use Stone Edge, but the four moves it currently has all seemed more important. Ditto with Pursuit. Landorus (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Sand Force EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe IVs: 30 Spe Naive Nature (+Spe, -SDef) - Earthquake - Stone Edge - U-turn - Hidden Power Ice/Hammer Arm If I'm using Tyranitar, I may as well take advantage of the Sandstorm. Landorus with Sand Force and Choice Scarf is a great revenge killer. U-turn allows me to send Landorus in at pretty much any time I'm uncertain of what my opponent might do. I really wanted to use Hammer Arm to take on certain pink blobs as well as any random Dark-types, especially considering that Tyranitar's Superpower is my only other Fighting-type attack on the entire team. However, HP Ice just seemed necessary to deal with things such as Gliscor. Skarmory (F) @ Leftovers/Shed Shell Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spe Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Stealth Rock - Whirlwind - Roost - Brave Bird Skarmory fills three very important roles for me; it is a defensive monster, sets up Stealth Rock to hopefully combine with Sandstorm and take advantage of all the switches an offensive team may cause, and it phazes. Because I can't stand Substitute. I suppose there isn't much to say about Skarmory that everyone doesn't already know, though I will mention that being Steel-type is nice for not taking damage from Sandstorm. Starmie @ Leftovers Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk) - Rapid Spin - Thunderbolt - Ice Beam/Recover - Surf Rapid Spin is always nice to have around. I prefer more offensive Pokemon, and I really like Starmie's offensive capabilities, so this one was kind of a given for me. Moveset is standard I guess, but I feel like I need to shift the EVs to something a bit for defensive; perhaps swap the HP and SAtk numbers. Starmie being a spinner by definition means it needs to switch into hazards multiple times, so it needs to be able to survive that. I also want to include Recover in the moveset for the same reason, but I didn't really know where to put it. I'm thinking that I don't really want to lose Starmie's STAB or its ability to take on other Water-types, plus I already have two other Pokemon with Ice-type moves, so that I could maybe lose Ice Beam for Recover. Latios (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SAtk / 30 Spe Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk) - Calm Mind - Dragon Pulse - Hidden Power Fire - Psyshock/Energy Ball Latios is an absolute offensive monster. He's my set up or late game sweeper, and is very good at his job. After some Stealth Rock damage, Sandstorm, and a Calm Mind, Latios can tear through a ton of Pokemon. Dragon Pulse is the powerful STAB that hits all but Steel-types for at least neutral damage; HP Fire is there to take care of the Steels, as well as pull double duty against Ferrothorn and Scizor. I chose Psyshock as the final move because it lets Latios take on Blissey, as well as anything else that is lacking on the physically defensive side. I may consider Energy Ball as a Grass-type move, especially if Celebi ends up not working out too well. Random Question: I know Soul Dew is banned, but why isn't that noted in the Smogon OU Ban List announcement here? Celebi (M) @ Life Orb Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 232 HP / 240 SAtk / 36 Spe Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Thunder Wave - Leaf Storm - Shadow Ball - Recover Filling the last slot was tough, and Celebi seemed to be the one Pokemon that could do all of the things that I wanted. I really wanted a strong Grass-type to take on all of the Water-types that are all over OU, with all of the Rain teams around. Celebi's ability to not only do this but also cripple opposing Pokemon with Thunder Wave made it a very interesting choice for the team. Paralyzing multiple Pokemon on the opponent's team allows Tyranitar to become more of an offensive threat. I chose Shadow Ball as a coverage move to take on Psychic-types that I don't have many other direct answers to. However, I worry that Celebi has many weaknesses, and including it gives me three weaknesses to Dark, Ghost, and Ice. Unfortunately, I couldn't see a way around this; I couldn't think of another way to complete the team with what I thought it still needed. I considered Breloom (was leaning towards Technician to have a boosted Mach Punch), as its Fighting-type could also be of use to the team. I guess I can't really give a specific reason for choosing Celebi instead, I just went with it. ------------ Any thoughts and suggestions are welcomed. The team definitely has some issues that are apparent to me, and there are probably other glaring ones that I won't notice unless pointed out.
hey, nice team. on latios, i'd definitely go with recover over psyshock / energy ball, in order for you to heal off the residual sand damage and life orb recoil, which increases latios' survivability and lengthens its sweep. after a couple of boosts, dragon pulse and calm mind already wrecks everything, so a coverage move isn't too necessary. i find that your team would really appreciate spikes support, helping your offensively-oriented team get past opponents, who are weakened by spikes, and turning 2hkos into ohkos. i'd replace skarmory's stealth rock for spikes, and change tyranitar's ice beam for stealth rock. ice beam isn't too useful on tyranitar anyways, as its main targets are faster than tyranitar and can take him out before you can utilize ice beam (for example, gliscor). skarmory can come in on many physical threats like cb scizor, so it has many opportunities to stack up the spikes. i find your team would greatly benefit from a more defensive starmie with an ev spread of 252 HP / 32 Def / 224 Spe (with a timid nature), and a moveset consisting of scald / psyshock / rapid spin / recover. with this set, you can tank hits with more ease and quickly spin hazards away. recover is useful to keep starmie in good shape, as the sand's residual damage cancels leftovers recovery. psyshock helps you deal with threats like CM Virizion and Keldeo, who are both outsped by starmie. with the ev spread, cb terrakion cannot even ohko this starmie. on landorus, i'd go with hidden power ice in the last slot instead of hammer arm - this lets you get past gliscor, who would wall you otherwise. with starmie shifting to a defensive set, gliscor would become slightly harder to deal with, so hidden power ice remedies to this situation. sorry for the lack of proper punctuation; i'm using a weird keyboard. anyways, cool team, and good luck! hope i helped.
Thanks for the feedback! Going more defensive on Starmie I definitely agree with. I'll go with those EVs and try Scald over Surf. Is there a reason you went with Psyshock over Thunderbolt and Ice Beam? I was thinking I might want to keep Thunderbolt, as I have no other Electric moves, and that lets Starmie take on other Water-types, especially Slowbro. I'll try the changes to Tyranitar and Skarmory. As for Latios, I definitely see what you mean, but I'm a bit more hesitant there. I know Latios is really powerful after a Calm Mind or two... and maybe Blissey is about the only thing that Psyshock is good for. I can't think of anything else that resists both of his other moves that wouldn't also resist Psyshock, so maybe it isn't really worth it. Hmm, maybe I will give it a shot haha.

[ http://Great-Liberal-Insights.Org/chickenhawks.html ]
(this page was viewed 7,793 times in 2008) |
Why are Republican leaders almost all "CHICKENHAWKS" ? Although the leading Republican chickenhawks above are no longer in office, they have been replaced by new ones, like Mitt Romney, with his five model chickenhawk sons, Rik Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Senate leaders Mitch McConnell & Jon Cornyn, and the Republican leadership of the House :Speaker John A. Boehner. Majority Leader Eric Cantor & Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy. I'd love to replace the picture above with something more current (got any suggestion?), but until then this picture's just too good to take down! [ "Chicken Hawks" are people who are enthused about their country engaging in WAR – which is why they are called "hawks", – but who make sure that their own butts are nowhere near the fighting – which makes them "chicken-hawks" . – ]
Republican conservatives attacked President Clinton for having questioned the Vietnam War. But while liberals like Bill Clinton were avoiding service for themselves, they didn't want anybody else to risk their lives in what they viewed as a senseless war. Republican "chickenhawks", on the other hand, promoted this war as a great cause, one in which other young men in America should expose themselves to injury and/or death.– So you can call liberal Democrats "chickens", if you like; but it usually takes a conservative to be a "chickenhawk". | ||||
Here are some of the higher profile, holier than thou, dishonest hypocritical, cowardly conservatives who supported the war and argued in favor of other young Americans going off to fight and die in Vietnam, while "conserving" their own precious draft dodging hides stateside! | ||||
The whole Bush Family's aversion to Military Service :
Can you find any who served? (maybe behind the Bush) Republicans who would be President :
Donald Trump should have been drafted during the Vietnam War, but thanks to FIVE deferments from 1964 through 1969, he avoided service. [ http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/deferments-helped-trump-dodge-vietnam ]
G.O.P. presidential candidate Giuliani had the gall to question the courage of Democratic war hero John Kerry. Yet, When G.O.P. presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, was asked in 2007 why none of his five sons (all perfect candidates for military service)
had come forward to serve in the war that Romney supports enthusiastically, his response was "My sons are adults. They've chosen not to serve in the military in active duty and I respect their decision in that regard. . .
And one of the ways my sons are showing support for our nation is helping me get elected because they think I'd be a great president." To be clear, prior to 1973, there was a requirement that all American men sign up for the armed services upon reaching age 18. Those who avoided service in those days were called "draft-dodgers". Being a "draft-dodger" is not the same as being a "chickenhawk". What makes a person a "chickenhawk", whether before or after "conscription" (draft) was ended, is their support of war - which is what makes them "hawks" -, but only for others, not for oneself - which is why they are known as "chicken". ( So liberals who opposed the war and service in it for everybody, not just themselves, were not "chickenhawks". | ||||
Republican chickenhawks in the U.S. Senate :
Although Sen. Lindsey Graham claimed to have been a war vet, he was a lawyer in the National Guard who served only in South Carolina. | ||||
Republican chickenhawks in the U.S. House :
There are so many examples of the GOP mounting campaigns to replace Democrats with outstanding military records with Republicans who have avoided military service that I am going to highlight those examples here. [ Please advise me of examples that I may have missed. ]
For more information on many of the people listed on this page, check out http://www.nhgazette.com/display/?id=99 . |
Republican chickenhawks in the Executive & Judicial branches :
| |||
U. S. Supreme Court (male members) :
The LIBERAL John Paul Stevens is the only recent justice who DID serve full time, (in the Navy during the 3 worst years of WW II), while the moderate Anthony Kennedy was a member of the California Army National Guard for a year (1961). | ||||
Republican chickenhawk Mouthpieces :
Other leading conservative Funders, Lobbyists, & Activists :
For a great video dealing with the NEXT generation of Republican Chickenhawks For "Chickenhawk Blues" song Scroom.com/chickenhawkblues |
Here's a testimonial I received relating to this page: |
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS who "walked the walk" : While most Democrats don't just say that war should be the last resort but truly believe it and try to resolve conflicts through more peaceful means, when just wars have been necessary and unavoidable, they have a long established record of putting their own lives and those of their own children on the line, rather than persuading other people to sacrifice themselves and their children:
One of the most consistent supporters among prominent Democrats of G.W. Bush & John McCain, when it comes to his war in Iraq, is Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. Joe never served in the military, which may be why he has been one of the most enthusiastic chickenhawks, although supposedly a "Democrat" (tongue in cheek). To be fair, the Republican Party has its war heroes as well. Among prominent Republicans there's Sen. John McCain of course, Sen. Chuck Hagel (who supports Obama for President), former Sen. Bob Dole and former President George H.W. Bush, who are combat vets with distinguished military service records. REFERENCES :
Contrary to his many public lies about Vietnam and his claim to have "a secret peace plan" to get us out of it much earlier, we now have a tape of Republican President Richard Nixon saying to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on the Watergate tapes : |
Bush's idea of "Supporting the Troops" : |
A. Bush Administration cuts $1.5 billion from military family housing. The Bush Administration cut $1.5 billion for military family housing, despite Department of Defense statistics showing that in 83,000 barracks and 128,860 family housing units across the country are below standard. ("Nothing But Lip Service," Army Times, June 30, 2003; "House Appropriations Committee Approves $59.2 Million for Ft. Hood," U.S. Rep. Chet Edwards Press Release, June 17, 2003) B. Bush Republicans support millionaires instead of military veterans. Bush allies in Congress stopped efforts to scale back the tax cut for the nation's millionaires by just five percent – a loss of just $4,780 for the year – in order to restore this funding for military family housing. ("The Tax Debate Nobody Hears About," Washington Post, June 17, 2003) C. Bush Administration underfunded veterans' health care by $2 billion. The Bush Administration's 2004 budget underfunded veterans' health care by nearly $2 billion. ("Vets Health Low on Bush's Priority List," The Hill, September 17, 2003; "Support for Troops Questioned," Washington Post, June 17, 2003; U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs, September 2002) D. Bush Administration proposal would end health care benefits for 173,000 veterans. More than 173,000 veterans across the country would be cut off from health care because of Bush Administration proposed budget cuts and its plan requiring enrollment fees and higher out-of-pocket costs. ("Support for Troops Questioned," Washington Post, June 17, 2003) E. Bush Administration budget cuts force more than 200,000 veterans to wait for health care. Over 200,000 United States veterans have to wait more than six months for a medical visit because of health care shortages. ("VA Health Care Funding Alert," Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Press Release, January 31, 2003) |
F. Bush Administration opposed plan to give National Guard and Reserve Members access to health insurance. Despite the war efforts of America's National Guard and Reserve Members, the Bush Administration announced in October 2003 its formal opposition to give the 1.2 million Guard and Reserve members the right to buy health care coverage through the Pentagon's health plan. One out of every five Guard members lacks health insurance. ("Bush Opposes Health Plan for National Guard," Gannett News Service, October 23, 2003) G. Bush Administration cuts $172 million allotted for educating the children of military personnel. The Bush Administration's 2004 budget cut $172 million of impact aid funding. Impact aid funding assists school districts by making up for lost local tax revenue from tax-exempt property, such as military bases. These education cuts will especially affect school-age children of troops serving in Iraq who reside on military bases. ("Support for Troops Questioned," Washington Post, June 17, 2003) H. Bush Administration tax cut denies military families increase in child tax credit. The families of 262,000 children of military personnel do not receive the child tax credit increase because the plan fails to cover taxpaying families with incomes between $10,500 and $26,625. According to The Washington Post, the House version of the Bush Administration plan "wouldn't help many of those serving in Iraq." One soldier who will not benefit is Army Specialist Shoshana Johnson, the soldier and single mother who was wounded twice in the same convoy as Jessica Lynch. ("Ex-POW's Family Accuses Army of Double Standard on Benefit," Washington Post, October 24, 2003; "The New Senate Child Credit Legislation – What It Does and Does Not Do," Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, June 25, 2003; "Whose Child Is Left Behind," Children's Defense Fund, July 23, 2003) |
How do Veteran Groups evaluate Republican vs. Democratic Legislators? Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America is the nation's first and largest group dedicated to the Troops and Veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the civilian supporters of those Troops and Veterans. They have members in all 50 states and no one has done more than them to advocate for the men and women serving our country in the front lines of our current war. |

We returned to Redondo Bay and Casa Ezulwini for a 3 night stay after my visit in June. The home is so inviting with a very clean pool and decks that let you truly enjoy all that the ocean offers, especially at sunset. The home is well maintained and very comfortable. Internet and satellite tv help you stay connected (if you want to). Arrangements were made directly with owner, and local management Company provides great assistance for anything needed. While there enjoyed restaurants in Gigante, visited the new resort at Guacalito and had most of our meals at the local restaurant on the beach at Redondo Bay. Of special note is the 25 minute walk from Redondo Bay to Gigante. Very pleasant and terrain makes it easy. did not have time to go fishing, but certainly plan to in the future. I would strongly recommend and we will return to property.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Neither words nor pictures can adequately prepare visitors to Casa Ezulwini for the magical beauty that awaits them there. While the views from both the upper deck and lower patios are worth the trip alone, the comfort and seclusion of the house truly made our trip one of the best ever. We awoke refreshed each morning after a great night of sleep on comfortable beds with high-quality linens. I would immediately head upstairs to the spacious kitchen and prepare a breakfast that included fruit from the local roadside stands I visited on the way to the house. Heading outside, the outdoor breakfast bar was a lovely place to ease into our day. We would sip coffee while watching thousands of butterflies dance in the treetops of the surrounding jungle, the quiet of the morning interrupted now and then by the eerie calls of nearby howler monkeys. Each day brought a new adventure. Though Casa Ezulwini is secluded and off the beaten path, it is a quick trip to many of the must-see sites in Nicaragua. Day trips included visits to the volcanic island of Ometepe and San Juan del Sur, while some days were spent lazing on the semi-private beach a quick 10-minute walk from the house. The staff are available to help book trips and help visitors get around. That beach was amazing. We spent quite a few days there, and on the most "crowded" day, we saw less than 10 people on the sand. Stunning views and mild surf made this an excellent way to spend our time. After a day on the beach or a short, strenuous hike to the top of Pie Gigante (Giant's Foot), returning to Casa Ezulwini quickly felt like coming home. A refreshing dip in the pristine infinity pool, where we soaked and took in the astounding views of the Pacific crashing onto the cliffs below, was followed by some much deserved downtime. One of my favorite things to do was just lay in the cozy hammock and read one of the many books available at the house. Though there are many quality restaurants in the nearby village of Gigante, we often bought fresh fish right from the boats and prepared tasty meals at the house. The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances, which made eating in a pleasure. Casa Ezulwini, with its floor-to-ceiling glass windows, beautifully appointed rooms, and private location, provided us with the most relaxing and unforgettable vacation ever. I will forever compare future vacation spots to this, and I fear they will always come up lacking.Owner response: Thank you Aimee! We love guests like you.

i cannot even begin to describe how wonderful this house/vacation destination is, and pictures do not do it justice,they do not even hint at what you find at casa ezulwini. first off, the house is exquisitely constructed and decorated-it is straight from the pages of architectural digest. the house is comfortable with everything you need-even down to sea kayaks! the location cannot be beat either. we slept every night to the sound of the waves crashing in the cove beneath us and woke in the morning to the howler monkeys and the nicaraguan blue jays scolding the squirrel and the iguana in the tree outside the balcony. our family made sunset a nightly ritual-we made sure we were poolside to watch the sun dip behind the hill. it was always breathtaking. the beach is beautiful and private and easily accessible. the children loved hanging out there and jumping waves. it was quite safe, even for young ones. we also loved being so close to playa gigante-it is even walkable from the beach via trail. we made several friends there and like shopping at the tiny grocery. my daughter and husband went out to deep sea fish from there as well. the staff at the resort/house was amazing-they arranged trips for us and personal guides-even on an overnight trip to ometeppe, where our guide and friend octavia arranged for us to take a trail ride on oxen! all in all it was an unbelievable vacation and i hope to return very soon, we all do. we did not want to come home.Did you find this review helpful?

Visited Redondo Bay with Son and Son in Law to explore region and rake in all Gigante has to offer, as well as other neighboring locations. House was delightful with excellent pool and plenty of room. Was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed dining at restaurant at Redondo Bay as well as a couple in Gigante. Took advantage of riding 4 wheelers on the Beech. Gigante is great place to hang out. Made a visit to our favorite restaurant, Yolanda's about a 15 drive away. This home is absolutely superior in every regard. I expect to be back with more guests to enjoy Redondo Bay.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Absolutely brilliant vacation! Casa Ezulwini is very large, has stunning views, is extremely comfortable , and is very well equipped. The owner is very responsive, accommodating all our last minute needs. House location is also excellent, not too far from all the action but removed enough to enjoy nature at its best.

I just returned home to the States after having spent a combined two full months at Casa Ezulwini -- once during March 2012 and again in July -- so I feel well-qualified to recommend the property to anyone looking for comfort and relaxation in a splendid setting. Everything inside and around the house is done with great care and deliberation. Its owner has seen to it that only the best experience is ready and waiting for those who choose this property over other homes down the road or even across the country. Some examples: -- Sparkling infinity pool, always clean and polished, with unexcelled views over the Pacific Ocean. In my opinion, this is the best part of the whole deal. -- Well-equipped kitchen with separate dining area. This is not just a basic Latin American "cocina," but a place in which the owner has obviously placed a lot of emphasis and consideration for the enjoyment of both his family and guests -- This same emphasis extends to bedrooms and baths, all air-conditioned, comfortable and spacious -- Highly efficient staff. These folks look over the house while unoccupied, but more importantly they help out whenever a guest has needs: grocery runs, minor repairs or fixes, advice on places to visit and/or day-trips, and so forth. While they don't hang out at the house (the house is utterly private and the staff respects that), they're only a phone call or email away and when asked for help, they respond quickly -- as in NOW -- For the guest who cares to keep in touch with the outside world, the fast in-house Wi-Fi network and TV set with its array of satellite channels answer the need -- Security is important to me, and not once did I feel jeopardized or potentially compromised. Several layers of security cover the grounds, and at all times I felt as safe there as I do today in my own home -- The owner genuinely cares about his guests' experience, is cooperative, competent, communicative, fair and honest So, after spending two months there, I feel I've done your homework for you. Save yourself some research and go with Casa Ezulwini. You'll be pleasantly rewarded.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

This is a beautiful home with gorgeous views, exquisitely furnished, including original Nicaraguan artwork. We enjoyed the private beach, both using the kayaks or just relaxing in the beach chairs and hammocks. We caught enough Mahi Mahi fishing with Fidel one morning to eat during our entire stay. The location provides easy access to Rivas, San Juan del Sur, Iguana Beach, Granada, Isle de Ometepe, just to name a few. The cute beach town of Gigante is within walking distance. The owners are very knowledgeable about the area, as well as all of Nicaragua and are happy to assist in planning activities and answering questions. We'd highly recommend it !

We had a very pleasant stay at the Casa Esulwini. The house was very well maintained, and more luxerious and spacious than what we expected from the photos. The location was unique and we enjoyed the sunsets, to watch the birdlife from the veranda, and listen to the sounds from the surrounding forest including howler monkeys. We strongly recommend this property, and hope to come back soon. Finn Salvesen, Norway.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The house is beautiful and the views from the house are breathtaking. The private beach that is a wonderful hike from the house is as beautiful as the house and the views from the house. There is a new restaurant at the private beach that has wonderful food and first class service. Paradise. My only advice would be to not sleep in. Get up early everyday, sit outside on the deck enjoy your coffee, and the sites and sounds of the new day. Plan the night before what you are going to do the next day, get an early start at it. Learn some Spanish, it will definately help you if you need it and it will make you feel more confident when you're shopping in Granada or Masaya. It is a wonderful country and the people are just as wonderful. We took our young adult children there for a week as their Christmas present this year, and after the week I really feel like I was the one that got the present. I love my family and I loved sharing the week with them at such a wonderful house and place. Thank you Walter, we will definately be back. The Avila's in ColoradoDid you find this review helpful?

It pains me to have to write this review...primarily because I want to keep this a secret for a long time...it was incredibly special and we plan on going back next year. We stayed as Casa Ezulwini for 10 days and the pictures do not do this place justice...it is spectacular. We took our kids (10 and 8) down for Spring Break and had the time of our lives. The property is very clean, the pool is spectacular, and the views are unbelievable. The owners, Walter and Els, made sure that we had a great time. They helped us in terms of where to go / what to do, and introduced us to many of the locals via email...we had a built in community ready to see us when we arrived! Any questions we had, Walter answered, and the people who manage the property for him (Mike and Jesse) are fantastic. Walter worked hard to make sure we were comfortable and had a list of people and activities on our agenda. We ate at all of the local restaurants in Gigante, and had fabulous food. Many days we were on the beach completely by ourselves. We shopped in Tola, Rivas (at the market) and spent a day in San Juan del Sur. Cell coverage is spotty at best (with an international phone) but the internet at Walter's is fantastic. Overall, we had a GREAT time and are going back next year. Very safe for our family and great fun. This is a great vacation spot for someone who wants a bit of adventure and is tired of the lines at the buffet at the Marriott...we saw very few tourists while we were here, and got to work on our Spanish which is exactly what we were after.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My family, including 3 teenagers, stayed in this spectacular home during a whirlwind tour of Nicargua this summer. It was our favorite spot on the trip and we wished we could have stayed longer. You truly can't appreciate how beautiful this setting is until you are standing on the terrace. It reminded us of the beauty of the Northern CA coast line with the warm waters of the Carribean. You will be very comfortable in this rental, it has everything you'll need. Make sure you stock up on food before heading to the house. The road is bumpy and you won't want to make the drive too many times. The house does not have direct access to the beach but the short drive or walk to the private beach is well worth it; it will take your breath away.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

This home and the setting are truly wonderful. I agree with other reviews that the photos do not do the property justice. The views from the house are stunning. The home is well equipped with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. You do not have beach access from the house itself but the small effort you have to make to get to the private beach is well worth it. It is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen and we did have it all to our selves. The local manager was extremely helpful and the owner, Walter, was quick to respond to all inquiries. We will definitely return! Make sure you stock up on food before you head to Gigante, the road can be bumpy and you won't want to drive it too many times. Food at the restaurants at the public beach is very good but again, you won't want to go there for every meal.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

My husband, myself and our son stayed here July 12th - 23rd 2010. We had a wonderful time. Electricity problems were encountered, but we made the best of the situation. Any request made to House Manager were quickly resolved. We arrived with beer in refrigerator. Just need to pick up ice on way in from Managua. We loved the downstair living arrangement where our son could have his privacy and we could have ours upstairs. The balcony overlooks a beautiful bay and the oceans waves splashing in the cove was beautiful. We would love to come back again. The infinity pool was relaxing. Thank you Walter for everything you did for us to make our stay one to remember and for bringing our family together for my husbands first holiday coming back from Iraq. We want to go back!

The pictures of Walter's villa don't begin to do it justice. The setting is spectacular, the views are breathtaking, and the house is extremely inviting. The staff was wonderful in helping us get to the villa from Managua and made sure all our needs were met. Walter was very responsive to our queries and made sure we were taken care of. The beach shown in the picture is very close by, wonderful to swim in, and we almost always had it completely to ourselves. The local village (Gigante) has great local food, inviting and friendly people, and a small ex-pat community. We had such a wonderful time and plan to be back again very soon. Everyone in our group said it was the best and most relaxing vacation they'd ever had. We highly recommend this area and this property!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Just wanted to post a quick note to say that we had an absolutely phenomenal time. We loved the destination, the house, the food, and the people, equally. Casa Ezulwini is even better than what is shown in the pictures, as impossible as that might seem. Fishing, surfing, swimming, eating, touring, hiking, and dinners on the patio under the stars... what more could one want? For anyone looking for an oasis off the beaten track, this is your place.

Casa Ezulwini. Ezulwini translates from a Swazi word meaning Heavenly or Paradise, and this house is precisely that. Our family stayed there for almost 2 weeks and we cannot imagine a more magnificent retreat than this one. The house is impeccable. Bedrooms are furnished very well; beds are so cozy with top of the line linens. The Owners have decorated the entire house to a very high standard, so it is clear that this is a personal home. The views from the bedrooms and the balconies are simply breathtaking. The infinity swimming pool is complete bliss. You sit in there and your troubles will sink away in the waves below. The balcony above is a perfect place to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or after dinner drinks, watching the sun and moon rise and set. The semi-private beach is only a 10 minute walk away, with waves that will impress anyone. The close by village, Gigante, has many offerings. The local restaurants serve only the freshest of fresh fish and local accoutrements to delight you any time of day. Fishing with Fidel and crew is always a superb activity while there! San Juan Del Sur is only 1.5 hour drive away, where you can catch up with people from all over the world. The owners have also placed a binder in the house which will direct you to the local attractions, which is very handy. Casa Ezulwini is simply superb and deserves to be number one in the rankings. My only problem with this is it's going to be harder to make a reservation in future as I can see it becoming very full. Thank you to the owners for opening up your palace to us!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Casa Ezulwini is a wonderfull house in beatifull surroundings, with perfect amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and made good use of the local fishermen and their boats, to go fishing (we caught 9 mahi-mahi) and make excursions to other exciting places along the coast. Amazing sunsets, surf crashing on the rocks below, while enjoying our drinks on the terrace, and swimming at a close-by secluded sandy beach, were dayly enjoyments. We highly recommend this house!!! .Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

We love nature. Staying here at Casa Ezulwini is being in the midst of nature at its best. You've never seen such a beautiful view of the rocky mountainside with a gorgeous rockledge sitting at ocean level. Bring a rope and climb easily down to the rockledge. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and sitting in the endless pool, relaxing and soaking in the view is heaven. We love walking in the development and when we were there we saw all these cute little red crabs scurrying everywhere. Just love it all. Restaurants close by in Gigante right on the beach with very fresh fish. Also, the maid is so sweet and puts the place back in order for me.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

This beautiful, open, and spacious villa is perched high above a cove on the pacific coast. While cooling off in the Infinity pool you can watch the surf crash against the boulders far below. The walls of the house on the ocean side are constructed to open up and let the ocean breezes sweep through. Evenings on the patio watching the sun set with a drink and an excellent local cigar are unforgettable. The local beach is secluded and beautiful. The frosting on the cake is the disarming friendliness of the locals. The same can be said of the owner of this property. If you are looking for a spot to spend some time with people you really care about....look no further.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My wife and I loved staying for two nights at this magnificent home. The house is perched on a dramatic rise above a giant rock formation overlooking the Pacific -- what an incredible view! Stunning sunsets every evening -- we got so many great photos! The coastline is truly amazing -- mornings at the small private beach were breathtaking! The scenery is stunning and you feel very private -- a wonderful place to go to get away from it all! The house is very well appointed - comfortable beds and living areas, full kitchen, beautiful pool, and everything was very clean and well maintained. The panoramic windows and glass walls in the living room overlook the balcony and ocean. The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything needed. We went fishing with a local fisherman our first day and cooked in, then dined at a nice little restaurant the following night which was located about 2 km away. The house has a very colonial feel with beautiful clay tile floors and nice decor. The floorplan is spacious and open. It seems the home would be very comfortable for 6 or 8 people. There was a home made guide booklet on the coffee table that we found very interesting helpful during our visit, leading us to great fishing and dining...and of course, the beach! We found an interesting rock and added it to the collection that seems to be a tradition on the front porch. The staff at the gate was very helpful on our arrival and very friendly during our stay. The gentlemen who showed us into and around the house was very nice, as was the Spanish speaking maid who came each day to make our beds and clean the kitchen. This is a beautiful, beautiful place -- we hope to return again soon! Highly recommended!!!!

Danny and the Dinosaur (I Can Read Books)by Syd Hoff
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Danny loves dinosaurs. When he sees one at the museun and says, "It would be nice to play with a dinosaur," a voice answers, "And I think it would be nice to play with you." So begins Dannys and the dinosaur's wonderful adventure together!
But a dinosaur is no ordinary playmate. Even the most everyday activities become extraordinary, like finding a big-enough place to hide a dinosaur in a game of hide-and-seek, and keeping him from knocking over houses with his long tail. But Danny can teach a old dinosaur new tricks. It's the most fun this dinosaur has had in a hundred million years! Originally published as An I Can Read Book over 40 years ago, this classic story is perfect for reading together. Danny's out on the town with a real live dinosaur.

Greetings from Matt Monarch
Hey Everyone! It's still not slowing down! We are extending the 17.5% discount, December's 'At-Cost' Specials, and the clearnace item specials for one last 24 hours! You now have just about another 24 hours left to use our once-a-year 17.5% Off Coup0n, enjoy December's 'At-Cost' Specials, and to get all of the end of the year clearance special items including Yacon Syrup, B-12 Patches, Hoodia and so much more.This is the best deal time of the year! Just in case you forgot, the 17.5% coup0n c0de is 'holiday18'. This coup0n c0de is good until December 31st and has zero restrictions except appliances and detox/exercise equipment. If you are interested in ordering, click the link below: http://www.therawfoodworld.com/at-cost-specials-l36 Also, don't forget to check out January's 'At-Cost' specials further below. Lastly... We have a plethera of items still available for our end of the year Blow0ut, which are all in the 'At-Cost' Specials Section. If you are interested in ordering, click the link below and look through the pages of offers: http://www.therawfoodworld.com/at-cost-specials-l36
Also, in this newsletter you can enjoy:
January 'At-Cost' Spec!als:
Yes, the demand for Yacon Syrup skyrocketed, because it was on Dr. Oz. However, it wouldn't have skyrocketed nearly as much if Dr. Oz didn't do a test on 40 women participants, to see the we!ght loss effects it might have on them over a 30-day time period. Yep!... 40 women were directed to take a teaspoon of Yacon Syrup before each meal. Furthermore, they were told not to change their usual diets or exercise habits. Check out their results!:
If you want to see the Dr. Oz Yacon Syrup episode trailer for yourself, check out the video below: http://www.therawfoodworld.com/vid/yacon.html?lid=61 You can also see more details on Dr. Oz's Yacon Syrup Project by clicking here. That's still nothing compared to the clinical trials in the links in the description of the Yacon Syrup Listing on our website ;-)
We are also offering one of my favorite tasting dried fruits in the world... White Mulberries. White Mulberries kind of have a caramel taste to them and people just absolutely love them, especially children. Many people don't know this, but white mulberries contain the popular antioxidant "resveratrol". The White Mulberries are also an excellent source of Vitamin C and Iron. For a fruit, they are also high in protein.
The cost is way less than buying Raw Chocolate Bars and you can even add things to the Pili Nut Butter to make your dollar trave*l even further, as you can see in the video we did below. You can literally double the volume by adding Chia Seeds into the mix, and then put it into the refrigerator. Adding Chia Seeds is my favorite, because it turns the chocolate into what seems to taste like the 'Nestle Crunch Bars' that are currently on the market. Now with the Raw Pili Nut Butter being "At-Cost", you can make your own Pili Nut "Chocolate" for pennies on the dollar. Alongside the Pili Nut Butter, we are offering the legendary ancient aphrodisiacs, Cacao & Maca combined with HempSeeds in the wonderful nut butter concoction: Chocolate Maca Hempspread. You can even stir this in with your Pili Nut Butter before putting in your chocolate molds to make some serious Raw Chocolate!
Also, we have this new organic, fair trade, cold-pressed extra virgin Avocado Oil 'At-Cost' this month. In the first week alone, I saw a notable amount of orders for this oil, each and every day. I can see why... When you eat it, it feels super smooth and has a slightly sweet taste to it. It's ideal to use on salads, vegetables and for dipping.
Last time we offered this same exact Royal Jelly 'At-Cost', it sold like crazy. I feel that it was so popular because it's an expensive, high-quality product, usually $74.95 for 5oz, but discounted greatly 'At-Cost'. I feel that this Royal Jelly Powder is a key product for a "Bee-gan's" d!et regimen, providing much lifeforce, vitamins and minerals. In fact, the label states that one serving size provides 39% of required B12. You can feel the lifeforce within Royal Jelly! We also have Sweet Wheat, which is just pure wheatgrass powder. It's a full spectrum food, which I believe has everything that the body requires. Additionally, Sweet Wheat tastes good!
Colosan is said to help clean the small intestines, while cleansing your colon with water mainly takes care of the large intestine. This is why it is good to take Colosan in conjunction with enemas and/or colonics, because if old fecal matter is released from the small intestines, it will move into the colon afterwards. Also, I feel cleansing the colon with water will help remove waste from the small intestines, because an empty colon will accept more waste from all other organs. However, I've heard that Colosan aids the process of eliminating the embedded mucoid plaque from the small intestines. Colosan is a very gentle way to cleanse the intestines by simply swallowing a few capsules orally.
This month we have all of the best savory snacky items 'At-Cost'! Angela, myself and Oria love them all. Check them out below!
We also have MSM Aloe Gel. My wife Angela can't get enough of the MSM-Aloe-Gel. She says that it is extremely effective on injuries and that it works like the commercial, chemical product 'Deep Heat', yet in a natural way. You can usually feel the power of this stuff as soon as you put it on. It has the potential to bring instant relief from swelling, pains from insect bites, infections and so on. One of our helpers here in Ecuador got stung by a wasp and his hand blew up like a balloon. As soon as he put the MSM-Aloe-Gel on, it immediately deflated. We also love that the MSM-Aloe-Gel has simple ingredients. In the past I put some on Angela's back, as she had slightly hur*t her lower back doing yoga. She said she felt it working immediately and bringing relief, as it penetrated her skin just like 'Deep Heat'. Pure Pitz is the clean answer to a malodorous dilemma, effectively neutralizing body odor. Certified Organic and made from only the cleanest ingredients, including aluminum-fre*e baking soda, Pure Pitz is a soothing emollient with fresh, subtle fragrances of pure organic essential oils. This concentrated formula comes in a BPA-Fre*e plastic container and is the perfect size for trave*l and gym bags.

I finished my roundup of hackathons for the API Evangelist calendar this morning. It took me a large portion of yesterday to gather and do the data entry for all the hackathons. Something I should probably have someone else do, but I like being in tune with the different events.
I tracked on hackathons last year, but this year I'm spending time each week organizing into a calendar to share with my readers, publish a roundup on ProgrammableWeb each week, and plan which events I will be attending or sponsoring.
I'm impressed with the growth in the number of hackathons worldwide in 2012:
- January 2012 - 35
- February 2012 - 57
- March 2012 - 68
That is 160 hackathons so far this year! Quite an impressive number. These hackathons are occurring in cities around the globe and on topics including music, mobile, civic, hardware, robotics, Heroku, node.js, art, science, Facebook, health, baseball, military vets, and the ubiquitous focus on building a start-up.
I attended nine hackathons in January and only three so far in February. I try to attend as wide variety of events as I can. I feel it it extremely healthy that the hackathon model is expanding into new areas and industries. I think this brings more problem owners to the table, and introduces the hacker way into mainstream society.
Though I enjoy Startup Weekend events, and feel they have a large role in spreading the hackathon model, it concerns me that their model is spreading as the primary definition of what a hackathon is. There are many reasons to put on a hackathon, and many outcomes, a start-up is only one possible reason or outcome. Of the 160 hackathons in 2012 so far, 68 were Startup Weekends, that is 42.5%, and I see their model applied at many other events.
Obviously the dream of having a start-up is prevalent amongst the young hacker community, and the Startup Weekend model speaks to the Silicon Valley version of American dream. But I think there are a lot of other lessons that come from hackathons like innovation, collaboration, education, communication, and networking, with a start-up not always being a sensible outcome.
Again, I'm not saying the Startup Weekend model is bad, I just don't want this to be the model applied to every industry or sector, where we need innovation, collaboration, education, communication and networking before we'd ever need to consider creating start-ups.
In my view, the hackathon model has potential to train up next generation of hackers across all industries and sectors, providing a framework for problem owners from all walks of life, to learn how to creatively use technology to solve problems they face in their every day lives or work place. I am very excited about the growth in number of hackathons in 2012, and I want to make sure we keep the model spreading in the healthiest way possible, and help introduce everyone to the hacker way of life, making hackathons an all inclusive environment.

Very tasty. We used black beans instead of the peas. I might try cubed cheese in it next time.

This is a deliciously different pasta salad. A bit of spice adds zest but is not overwhelming. Easy to prepare ahead as well!

Evander Kane wants out of Winnipeg? How a tweet set off a firestorm
Social media is a wonderful thing for NHL fans, especially over the off-season. It's the fastest source for trades, re-signings, and especially signings of unrestricted free agents after July 1st. Unfortunately, it's also the fastest source for unsubstantiated rumors that tend to freak out fanbases. This off-season is the first of those for Winnipeg Jets fans, and aside from the happy news about Jim Slater's re-signing, they get to deal with rumors that their leading scorer wants out. Evander Kane netted 30 goals this year, and he also accumulated quite a bit of negative publicity from rumors regarding his nightlife. I advocated people to stop fixating on him back in February because hey, he's a 20 year old talent in a city who takes more note than Kane's previous stop in Atlanta.
That reputation that he got from the rumors circulating around him earlier this year seems to have people believing the latest rumor a little too quickly. RDS's Renaud Lavoie tweeted yesterday that a Jets player mentioned to him that Kane wanted to try to force Winnipeg's hand for a deal out of town. Needless to say, the previous blow to Kane's reputation combined with this latest rumor has given in validity in many noggins. Coach Claude Noel dared to hold Kane responsible on-ice for his play... would that make Kane a malcontent? Not if he's a professional. He's 20, he has a lot to learn, and that's the coach's job. But if he has enough attitude to not pay for meals, well then, he has enough to want out because of the coaching staff!
The problem with that assumption is thinking that the previous rumors are true. 99.99% of Jets fans don't know that, just like that same percentage don't know if Kane wants out. If he does, the Jets are going to get one hell of a return on a trade. If he doesn't, well, the Jets get to keep one of the best young goal scorers in the game. The trick for Jets fans is to not let one unsubstantiated rumor sully their opinion of Kane, and to make sure that it doesn't make them upset about their team's reputation. That can happen easily -- no one wants their best player to demand to leave a team, regardless of the reason. It feels like a personal slight. I wouldn't be shocked, though, that there's no personal slight intended here, or even no slight at all. Kane more than likely wants to stay put, and even if he doesn't fans shouldn't base their opinion of a player on an unsubstantiated tweet.
