We are sad to announce that this Dan and Blair RP is going on hiatus for the foreseeable future. We both unfortunately have a lot on our plate at present and have been suffering a little from lack of inspiration. That may be for a number of reasons, including the fact that we've been busy, but also probably hasn't been helped by the upcoming season of the show which is due to begin soon and which I think we can all agree doesn't exactly look good from a Dair shipper's perspective.
Thank you so much to everybody who has followed us and sent us messages and given us positive feedback. We've enjoyed every minute of writing Dan and Blair and it was only made even better by the support and love that the Dair fandom has provided. It is a fandom we are proud to be a part of and we're sure that won't ever change. We hope that we might return to this someday in the future, perhaps next year when the show is over and our ship can forever comfortably reside in AU, full of hope and possibility. In the meantime, we plan to begin posting the RP in its entirety as a fanfiction on our joint account at Fanfiction.Net mermaidavis. We hope to perhaps gain some new readers, and that our older readers can enjoy rereading their favourite moments. Thank you all again and we hope to see you all around in the future one way or another.
Blair let out a small laugh to emphasise further she was joking, although privately it crossed her mind that Michelle wasn't the sharpest tool in the box. "We'd love that. You have our phone number, right?" she said on her way out of the elevator, "Give me a call and we can arrange it."
It was after she and Dan had bid Michelle goodbye and as they were walking away in the opposite direction that Blair began muttering absently, partly to her husband but mostly to herself. "And that is why by all rights we shouldn't even care about Georgina Sparks and her ridiculous website for bored teenagers," she remarked, "We have far more refined company to keep to now."
"Oh, the sophisticated lives of married folk," Dan teased, pressing Blair close to his side. "You certainly shouldn't be worrying about Georgina right now. You have an outstanding chance to make a difference in the lives of the young women of New York City, and if you're too busy thinking about Ms. Sparks, people at the banquet will wonder why you have that sour look on your face." He chuckled lightly before quickly announcing that he was only kidding. "This is one event we don't want to be fashionably late for, so we shouldn't stall any longer. Just remember this, Blair - no matter what happens tonight, you are still the most amazing woman in the world."
"Wonderfully, thank you for asking. Marriage makes for such wonderful leverage. Whenever I want him to do something for me I can just remind him of that ring on his finger," Blair teased, grinning and leaning slightly against Dan as she stood by him in the elevator, "I hope you and your husband are well. We really should get together sometime."
Michelle's eyes widened as if she didn't quite expect the answer Blair had given her.
"She's only joking," Dan explained, smiling. "She knows I would do anything for her - with or without the ring."
"Oh, maybe we should have you over so Patrick can get some husband lessons," Michelle joked, rolling her eyes slightly. "In all seriousness, it would be great to have the two of you over for dinner in the near future," she finished as the elevator doors dinged open to the first floor.
"I learned how to live. How to be in the world and of the world. And not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life or from love either."
"A cruel, twisted woman who you promised to love for the rest of your life, so it's your fault," Blair pointed out to Dan playfully. Blair bid Audrey a quick goodbye as they walked through the living room, where the dog was resting by the coffee table, and checked herself in the mirror by the door one last time before stepping out into the hallway. She listened to Dan speak as she pushed the button for the elevator, smiling slightly to herself.
"You'll be fine," she assured him, "Your new publisher is excellent and you'll be the talk of the town. We can book a five-star hotel room the night of your book party like we did last time, and I might have another surprise or two up my sleeve lest you accuse me of being repe…hi there, Michelle." Blair smiled pleasantly at their acquaintance from the third floor, who was already standing in the elevator when the doors opened.
Dan was too busy grinning at his wife in adoration to notice that their neighbor was in the elevator until Blair mentioned her by name. He quickly turned his attention to the other woman, giving her a small wave before stepping into the elevator with Blair.
"Hello," Michelle answered back, flashing them both an enthusiastic smile. "I feel like I haven't seen you guys in forever. Congratulations on your marriage! I've been hearing so much about you two in the media. I just knew that when I first met you that there wouldn't be much time before you tied the knot. How's the married life treating you?"
Blair narrowed her eyes at Dan, a smile appearing on her face again. "When did you get to know me so well, Humphrey?" she wondered aloud, leaning in to press a kiss to his lips, "I'm always punctual. You're the one who causes trouble."
Blair smiled sweetly at Dan before taking him by the hand and heading in the general direction out of their bedroom. "I'm looking forward to a few days' time when you'll be the one completely freaking out," she remarked.
"You are a cruel, twisted woman," Dan said with a smile that matched Blair's, threading his fingers through hers. "I'm not going to freak out. I've released a book already. The second one won't be any different. If anything, I'll be less nervous because I actually chose to publish this one. And I'm rambling again, aren't I?" He let out an exaggerated sigh. "You can read me like a book. Of course I'm going to be on edge. But at least I know I'll have one fan."
"It makes you very biased, but today I'll take it," Blair replied, smiling and reaching around to slip a hand into Dan's hair as he kissed her cheek, "I really think it could go either way. Lily's been so much help, but if Anne Archibald decides she really doesn't want me…"
Blair gave a small sigh and slowly stood to her feet, deciding for the moment that she had preened herself enough. She turned around to look at her husband and moved her arm down to around his neck. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm doing so much work anyway to be face the face of a foundation run by a woman who hates me," she remarked to him, "But it has its advantages. You're looking very handsome."
"You're doing it to prove a point. You're not going to let anyone step on your toes, especially a woman who thinks our marriage is going to work out," Dan said with a small smile, resting his hands on Blair's waist. "And because you're Blair Waldorf-Humphrey, and for some reason you love challenges more than the average person. I think it's because they're so rewarding in the end. Anyway, I think we should get going. It might be better if we actually made a punctual appearance this time around."
One thing that had changed was that they didn't call her Miss Waldorf anymore. Occasionally someone who'd known her a long time slipped up, and of course anybody close to her just called her Blair or B, but in a formal setting she was most definitely no longer Miss Waldorf. She was Mrs Waldorf-Humphrey, and though it had been over two months since her wedding she still enjoyed hearing it. She enjoyed calling Dan "my husband", even when it was to apologise to someone else about his behaviour and use him as an excuse to leave a party early. She enjoyed the routine of married life, of kissing Dan every morning before she left the apartment and again every evening when she returned. She was happy, and in the moments when she wasn't she had someone by her side to comfort her and help her believe everything was going to be alright. In some ways things were the same as they had been before the wedding, but in some ways she couldn't quite put her finger on things were indescribably different.
The Upper East Side was definitely different. Georgina Sparks was still at large online, but at least Blair had found that the circles she moved in now couldn't care less about her pathetic website. It was just as well, since Blair had spent the better past of the last two months making nice with all of the board members of Girls Inc. who weren't tight with Anne Archibald and even some of the ones who were. Fortunately, she'd been taken under the wing of Lily van der Woodsen, and her stepmother-in-law was acting more like a mother than her own mother had in the past. Today was the day in which Blair would find out if her efforts had worked and she would be the next face of an important female empowerment organisation. That morning, she sat in front of her vanity table checking her hair one last time and retouching her make-up, unwilling to accept anything less than perfect.
"Do you think I should practice my faces?" Blair remarked out loud, pulling a few faces in the mirror as she narrated, "Happy face. Surprised face. Slightly-disappointed-yet-graciously-accepting-face."
Dan was busy changing into an outfit that Blair had specifically picked out for him today. Naturally, his tie matched her dress. He didn't even complain jestingly this time around because he knew how important this day was for her, and the least he could do was wear something that she approved of.
"I think all of your faces are naturally perfect," he replied, a smile playing at the corners of his lips though he wasn't even looking at the silly expressions his wife was pulling. "And I don't think you have to worry about that slightly disappointed face. You've got this, mon amour. If anyone deserves this, it's you. None of the other women stand a chance."
He finished buttoning his shirt and made his way over to her, kissing her on the cheek several times. "And I'm not just saying this because I'm madly in love with you, though I'm sure that does make me slightly biased. You've worked so hard for this, and I just want to see you succeed."
"Of course Georgina did," Blair muttered, her newly cut bangs fluttering slightly as she gave a heavy exhale. Of all the people in the world, possibly the worst person in the world to run Gossip Girl was Georgina Sparks, so naturally she had been the one to take over from Penelope. At least, Blair reasoned, with Georgina she knew who she was dealing with. It wasn't as if she hadn't taken the other woman down at least twice before.
"The only power Georgina is the ability to still move her face after all the plastic surgery she looks like she's had. The difference between her and you is that she's not an anonymous Gossip Girl. That means we have power over her," Blair explained calmly, "Listen, here's what we're…"
Penelope didn't get to hear what Blair's plans were for the timebeing, however, as Blair was far from keen to share them with the person she heard twisting the key in the door and then making her way to the living room. She didn't look all that different, even though it had been over a year since Blair had last seen her. She was well dressed and her blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders as she walked in, standing tall in her high heels. Blair raised her eyebrows slightly as she turned to look at her, thinking to herself that the other woman at least disguised well the fact that she was nothing more than a townie.
"Well, well. I was wondering if you were going to pay us a visit. Welcome back from your honeymoon, Mrs. Waldorf-Humphrey," Juliet Sharp declared with a smile, "For the record, I wasn't at all surprised. You and Dan seemed to be having far too much fun back when you were chasing me down together."
"Juliet," Blair responded, plastering a matching smile on her face, "It's so nice to see you again. Whose life have you come to ruin this time?"
Penelope looked back and forth between the two women who were staring each other down in her new living room. She bit her bottom lip and stood up, making her way over to Juliet and taking her arm. "No one's life is getting ruined this time around," she spoke up, answering for her roommate. "Serena forgave Juliet, did she not? It was all just a big misunderstanding involving brothers and professors and sticky situations, but it's over now. Still, we're probably the two most hated people on the Upper East Side right now. Besides Georgina, but she's just pure evil. Juliet and I just lost our way." She gave her friend a fond smile before leading her over to the couch to sit down. "So, I know I'm asking a lot from you today, Blair, but… I think we all need to be civil. No one here is the real enemy."
Blair's eyes narrowed slightly when she realised there were tears in Penelope's eyes, and as her minion finished speaking again she gave a heavy sigh. Keeping quiet for the moment, she reached into her handbag and took out a tissue from the packet she carried with her and handed it over to Penelope. "You're going to mess up your make-up," she remarked, her voice ever so slightly gentler. She fell silent and folded her hands on her lap once more, looking pensive. "What's happened to Gossip Girl now?" she asked eventually.
"Thank you," Penelope said gratefully, accepting Blair's tissue and wiping her eyes before continuing. "I think Georgina has taken over the website. Whoever it is has been posting awful things and pictures and rumors. It's out of control and sporadic and nothing like the way I used to run it. It's like she's trying to take down the Upper East Side just from the website alone. What can you do to threaten Georgina Sparks, though? She has every power against us now."

Corcovado National Park
Ranger Stations
Corcovado National Park Ranger Stations
The locations of each of the ranger stations located inside Corcovado National Park is shown in red in the map below. Access points from the nearest towns are shown in blue. Click on the red marker and/or ranger station name inside the map to link directly to individual the ranger station descriptions, or click on the links given below:
Los Patos
La Leona
San Pedrillo Ranger Station
San Pedrillo Ranger Station is located on the Pacific Coast at the far northwestern border of Corcovado National Park. San Pedrillo is located 17 km southwest of the town of Agujitas, often referred to colloquially as Drake. Access is by either horseback or foot along the coastal trail that links Agujitas with San Pedrillo. Unlike many parts of the Corcovado coastline that are difficult to reach by boat because of high surf, boats are able to reach San Pedrillo without problem, and there is daily boat traffic carrying guided tours from Drake area lodges and San Pedrillo both in the morning and afternoon.
The San Pedrillo Ranger Station is open only during the dry summer months. It closes in mid-April and does not re-open until mid November. Still, one-day tours of the area are still permitted during this time frame. Check with park authorities or local tour providers since opening and closing dates are not fixed and vary according to weather and circumstances.
The San Pedrillo Ranger Station no longer offers camping facilities to the public. There is no lodging capacity beyond what is required for park staff stationed at the San Pedrillo, and there is no food service to the public. Moreover the San Pedrillo - Sirena trail has been closed to the public. Therefore the San Pedrillo park entrance is restricted to public use for day trips to the area and not for overnight stays.
The rangers at the San Pedrillo ranger station will inspect the permits and passes of all visitors. Day visitors that reach the park without prior arrangements may not, unlike in former times, pay in cash cash the daily use fee of $10 for foreigners. All visitors to San Pedrillo MUST have prepaid permits in hand. These are included in the day tours that are sponsored by a variety of lodges and outfitters. Alternately, you can secure such permits here.
There are a number of trails in the San Pedrillo area, and full-day tours of this part of the park are a staple tour of Drake area lodges and independent guides and outfitters. Visitors are conveyed from the Agujitas public beach or from lodges to the park entrance early in the morning by motorboat. Guided tours extend to mid-afternoon, with pack lunches provided, and the same boats return in the afternoon to the originating lodges. Mostly, individual lodges have their own tour guides and boats, and normally, visitors seeking a day trip to the park that are not staying at a lodge can reserve such expeditions here. The 2013 fee for the full-day San Pedrillo area Corcovado guided tour is $85 at nearly all the lodges.
The San Pedrillo staff ranges from 2-4, where job duties in addition to providing support for visiting guests, includes protection of the forest and enforcement of laws against hunting, collecting wildlife, mining gold, and similar forbidden activities.
Average monthly rainfall, San Pedrillo Ranger Station, Corcovado National Park, 2004-2008; average annual San Pedrillo rainfall: 1864 mm; 56.8 in
Los Patos Ranger Station
Los Patos Ranger Station is located near the eastern boundary of Corcovado National Park. Formerly a station inside the park bounderies that occupied a highland position along a ridge between the Rincon and Pavon River drainages, the ranger station was moved in 2010 to a lowland location just outside the park boundary for use as a park ranger station only. There are no longer camping or public support facilities, merely administrative and park ranger lodging and field office. Visitors entering through the Los Patos entry must check in at this station and present their permits before proceeding to the trailhead. Most visitor arrive by private taxi transport. It is also possible to take horses from Guadalupe, an inexpensive taxi ride five km from La Palma. Park rangers advise that guides be taken for visitors hiking in from Los Patos. During the rainy season, this recommendation is typically made a requirement. Also, the 20 km hike from Los Patos to Sirena is long enough that park rangers will not allow hikers arriving later than ten a.m. to proceed. Guided parties may be granted until eleven a.m., though this remains at Park Ranger discretion. The best plan is to get an early start and be at the trailhead by eight a.m. and no later than nine to have adequate time for the hike and not risk running out of daylight.
The Park staff stationed at Los Patos includes administrative staff to support guests and check permits and passes as well as law enforcement personnel to control illegal hunting, logging, drug trafficking, poaching, and other proscribed activities.
The ecosystem comprising the Los Patos Ranger station is montane tropical and cloud forest, but the region is mostly secondary forest and does not boast the amount of wildlife that is to be seen at the other three ranger stations, particularly at Sirena. A number of trails exist around the old ranger station that permit visitors to explore the vicinity. These trails are no longer maintained however, and no local hiking should be undertaken without an experienced guide. In addition to wilderness viewing and hiking, there is a nearby waterfall and streams to swim in. The nearby Guaymi Indian Reservation offers those with additional interest a side excursion to visit the Ngobe Nation, where visitors will have the opportunity to purchase hand-made crafts made from forest materials, including woven purses and bags ans well as beaded jewelry and hand-carved forest animals, figurines, and masks. There is a $5 daily use fee that must be paid at the Ngobe village to the headman or to his representative.
All visitors to the Los Patos sector must have prepaid advance reservations to gain entry into Corcovado. There are no exceptions to this, so all visitors should ensure that they have permits in advance, whether for day visits or multiple day excursions.
Average monthly rainfall, Los Patos Ranger Station, Corcovado National Park, 2004-2008; average annual Los Patos rainfall: 1945 mm; 59.3 in
La Leona Ranger Station
La Leona Ranger Station is located on the Pacific coastline on the far southern boundary of Corcovado National Park. It is located on the northwest bank of the Quebrada Leona on a beach terrace looking out over the Pacific Ocean. La Leona Ranger Station can be reached by walking along the beach three kilometers beyond the Carate. Just before reaching the stream that forms the park boundary, visitors will first pass the now defunct Corcovado Lodge, and the very comfortable and pleasant La Leona Lodge, a comfortable and well-equipped ecolodge featuring lodging in well-anointed tent platforms with a full range of amenities looking out over this primal stretch of savage coastline. The same beach trail connects La Leona Ranger Station with Sirena Ranger station, located 17 kilometers to the northwest in what is also a beach trail with only a very small portion of the trail that periodically diverges from the beach to enter the forest in some stretches.
La Leona Ranger Station is open year round but no longer offers camping. There are no dormitory lodging options and no publicly supplied meals. Potable water is available free of charge to refill water bottles.
The small contingent of park officials stationed at La Leona provide administrative support to park visitors and law enforcement. Full time staff normally range from 3-5 park rangers and support staff.
There are no real trails around the La Leona ranger station, though it is certainly possible to hike the Leona Creek watershed upland and into the forest in order to get away from the beach environment to explore forest habitat. Also, there is a private trail network on the grounds of La Leona Lodge across the creek that is available for exploration for those staying there or if you have lunch or ask nicely.
Because of its proximity to Carate and reasonable accessibility from Puerto Jimenez, it is possible to do single-day exploration of the La Leona region. For those traveling from Puerto Jimenez, I do not recommend this highly as the drive is two hours one way, and the walk to the park entrance is another forty minutes. Since hikers must be back in Carate by 3:00 p.m. to catch the afternoon colectivo, this leaves only two-three hours in which to explore the park, arguably insufficient for such a spectacular place. For those visitors that wish to explore the La Leona region with greater leisure, I suggest overnighting 1-2 nights at La Leona Lodge or at one of the Carate eco-lodges, like the Lookout Inn, Finca Exotica, and Luna Lodge to provide a full day of hiking without having to worry about transport schedules.
Visitors arriving at La Leona for either day visits or multiple day expeditions must have prepaid permits in hand in order to proceed. It is not possible to gain entrance at La Leona--or any park station--without having these permits in hand. Permits must be produced for the rangers at La Leona Ranger Station upon arrival.
Average monthly rainfall, La Leona Ranger Station, Corcovado National Park, 2004-2008; average annual La Leona rainfall: 1441 mm; 43.9 in
Sirena Ranger Station
Sirena Ranger Station is the headquarters of Corcovado National Park. It has extensive facilities for the support of academic research, park improvement and protection activities, and for camping, overnight dorm-style lodging, and hot meals prepared by Park staff. Sirena is is served by both charter air and boat access. It is connected to all the other ranger stations by maintained trails. There are also a number of wildlife loop trails that are maintained in the Sirena area that provide a variety of options of day excursions for visitors overnighting at Sirena. It has an extensive support staff and shifting populations of resident and visiting academic researchers. Sirena Ranger Station is located within the Corcovado Basin and boasts an unparalleled abundance of wildlife of all types. The wildlife in the area is accustomed to human visitors and has for the most part lost its instinctive fear of man. For this reason it is possible to view unusual animals from very close range. Unquestionably, Sirena Ranger Station is the best destination in all of Corcovado for maximizing wildlife viewing. Below are descriptions of facilities that are hoped to provide prospective visitors with a full appreciation of what they may expect so that the best decisions can be made about whether to include this destination in travel plans and if so what to expect and what to bring to ensure that your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.
Dorm Lodging. Sirena is the only ranger station that offers overnight lodging in dorm style accommodations for up to 20 dormitory guests. Each bunkroom has two bunk beds plus an additional single bed. Each two to three rooms shares a common restroom which includes a shower, sink, and toilet. Groups are berthed together in individual rooms and are not expected to share rooms with other groups unless by advance request. The bunk rooms are Spartan, containing only bunk beds and mattresses. Rooms have screened windows, but the beds do not include either sheets or mosquito netting, so visitors should bring their own sheets or hire guides, who maintain equipment in lockers on site. Since insect repellant is highly recommended especially around dusk and during certain stages of the moon, visitors may opt to forego the mosquito net and rely exclusively on bug dope. In my overnight stays, I have never found mosquitoes or sand fleas to be a nuisance, and that is without using repellant, but I think that I am not as popular with mosquitoes as more tender and succulent people. The dorm capacity at Sirena Ranger Station is 20 individual beds divided among five rooms. Preference is always given to academic and governmental researchers and to MINAET employees and volunteers during park initiatives over visiting guests, so often dorm lodging is not available at short notice. To ensure availability it is always necessary to reserve in advance. Formerly reservations were not accepted more than 30 days prior to anticipated arrival, but that rule has been changed and permits can be purchased for the calendar year as far in advance as possible, though permits for the new year become available only starting December of the year in course. Dorm lodging carries a fee of $8 per person per night. To secure permits, click here.
Camping. Camping at Sirena Ranger Station is restricted to a maximum number of forty campers at any one time. There is a covered platform that is dedicated to campers; foam pads are no longer provided to soften the floor a bit, so camping visitors should bring a sleeping pad. There is an expansive lawn in front of the Sirena ranger station facility, and campers are welcome to pitch their tents on the lawn if they prefer this to the covered camping area. Common restroom / shower / hand-laundering / food preparation facilities are provided for both the covered camping platform as well as the lawn camping area. For hot meals, priority is given to MINAE staff, visiting researchers, and visitors that are staying in dorm housing. If the meal capacity is not exhausted by these groups at the time reservations are secured for camping, then prepared meals can be reserved and purchased in advance. However, the food preparation area beside the tent platform is roomy with many sinks and surfaces and cooking areas for the use of camp stoves and is actually very convenient for those campers prepared to cook their own meals. Camping is $4 per night per person. To secure permits, click here.
Hot Meals. Sirena Ranger Station has a fully equipped kitchen and staff that is responsible for the preparation of three meals per day for the MINAE employees stationed at the park, visiting researchers, and the visiting public. However, the kitchen has a capacity of around 30 persons, so meal service at Sirena is first come, first served. Beyond employees, meal priorities are extended first to researchers, then to dorm lodgers, and finally to campers and day visitors arriving by boat from Drake or that fly in from Jimenez on a charter flight. Meals are typical Costa Rican casados for lunch and dinner and gallo pinto. Portions are hearty, and the fare is simple but quite satisfying. Meals are served with cold water and cold fruit drinks made from dried mixes (like Tang, only not meant for astronauts) as well as coffee. Lunch and dinner typically includes: rice, bean, salad, some type of meat, fried bananas, and a fricassee palmito or potato dish or else stir fried mixed vegetables. Breakfast includes gallo pinto with eggs, cheese or ham, two types of fruit, toast and fried sweet bananas. Meal prices for foreigners are as follows: breakfast: $20; lunch: $25; dinner: $2025 Costa Rican nationals pay around half this amount. Meals must be reserved and purchased in advance as meal preparation at Sirena is based upon the number of pre-ordered meals. There is no provision for food sales outside of this structure. To secure permits, click here.
Laundry, Showers, and Water. The Sirena infrastructure includes extensive facilities for hand-washing laundry, and there are a large number of showers. Perhaps at peak occupancy the facilities become congested, but commonly there is plenty of room and sinks and showers for everybody to take care of their laundering and showering requirements without having to stand in line or wait. The water at the facility is all potable, so water bottles can be filled without concern for filtration or supplemental water purification tablets.
Electricity. Sirena Ranger Station has both an array of solar panels as well as a generator. Power is turned on facility wide from 5:30 to around 8:30 in the evening to provide guests with access to lighting in the early evening hours. After lights out, visitors must rely on their own flashlights and lighting facilities for reading or getting ready for bed. No electrical outlets are provided for small appliances or the charging of batteries, so visitors should bring fully charged cameras and other tech gadgets and spare batteries for flashlights.
Communications. Sirena Ranger Station does enjoy cell phone communications with the outside world, thanks to an antenna that provides signal to a portion of Costa Rica that is not covered by existing cell tower coverage. This telephone is for the use of the administrative staff only and is not available to the public. It is available in case of emergencies, and there is case-by-case flexibility to allow communications for guests faced with changes in their circumstances. Plan to be incommunicado while in the park and resist the temptation to request access to the telephone facilities in anything other than an emergency.
Alcohol. Alcohol is not permitted at Sirena Ranger Station or anywhere in Corcovado National Park
Cold Drinks. Formerly, ice cold soft drinks were available for sale at Sirena. That practice has since been phased out, so prepare yourself in advance for this slight deprivation. This fact makes the cold fruit punches and water served at meal times all the more appealing.
Roughing It. Sirena Ranger Station is actually a fully equipped and reasonably comfortable destination. However, it is not a lodge and does not cater to its guests. Visitors must be prepared for the facilities that exist. For those that are accustomed to greater creature comforts, it is very important to ask yourself up front if you want to subject yourself to the challenges that Corcovado hiking and a stay at Sirena may imply. However, for those that realize that Sirena is not a lodge but a spectacular overnight station in the middle of one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife and biodiversity on the planet, then your visit may be accordingly enjoyed in the context of what you are doing. In truth, Sirena has everything needed to be comfortable: shelter, food, clean water, rest rooms, laundering, bathing, and cooking facilities, as well as staff that are well-versed in local wildlife and conditions and are eager to provide support and information about the park and the vicinity. Finally, since it has both cell communications with the outside world and is served by boat access and a landing strip, it is well-equipped to respond to a medical emergency or simply to accommodate the needs of those that decide after hiking in that they would rather be transported out than to return to civilization on foot.

Our Food Supply: Are We Ready for 'Enviropig' and 'Agent Orange Corn'?
Posted By Pam Evans On July 24, 2012 @ 5:00 pm In Health Talk | Comments Disabled
[1]When did it get so hard to know what was healthy, wholesome food?
Most Americans, roughly 90% of us, believe that genetically modified foods, or GMO's [2], should be labeled as such. Yet if you asked that same 90% to name a GMO food, could they? Would they, and are you, surprised to learn that about 80% of the processed food we eat contain GMO's, and a significant portion of our farm crops are grown with GMO patented seed [3]? I know I was.
I've probably read over a dozen articles, pro and con GMO's, trying to get a handle on this issue. It's not as simple as I thought. As with most vigorous debates, the rhetoric can be emotionally charged. Reading about 'Agent Orange Corn' [4], 'Frankenfoods' [5], 'Monsanto Sues Nature' [6] (great cartoons!), and 'Enviropig [7]' shows just how complex the debate is. The thing that bothered me the most, however, is not the fact that researchers are working to find ways to feed a hungrier planet in the throes of a changing climate. I get that. It's just how much huge corporations are creating a strangle-hold on the world's food supply.
Here's an unbelievable example of how small farmers are losing out to big agri-business. Farmer A is growing organic, non GMO corn. Farmer B down the road is using Monsanto's GMO corn in his field. Bird A, Insect A and Breeze A inadvertantly pick up some pollen from Farmer B's corn and deposit it on Farmer A's corn, (called cross-pollination), corrupting the 'organic' or 'natural' corn Farmer A's customers are waiting to buy. That's not good you say. Well, it just gets better. Monsanto has actually sued HUNDREDS [8]of farmers for patent infringement, because they're now growing Monsanto patented corn! Unable to afford the legal defense, many farmers have had no choice but to sell to big ag, and Monsanto's profits have soared.
We can read the emotional pleas about saving the family farm [9]and bemoan the ever increasing price of food. Our farm policies were built with farmers in mind, but until Congress figures out how to protect the rights of individual farmers with substantial changes to our farm policies [10], big business and BIG MONEY will continue to take over our food supply. Now that's what I call Frankenfood! [11]
Stay green and healthy!

Here is an infographic detailing the major achievements in the organization's history:
B'nai B'rith celebrated its 171st birthday on Oct. 13, reviewing its first 17 decades at the forefront of Jewish advocacy in the United States and around the world.
Here is an infographic detailing the major achievements in the organization's history:
B'nai B'rith International was featured on JBS (formerly Shalom TV), announcing the recognition of Berta Davidovitz Rubinsztejn and Gyorgy (Yitzhak) Gyuri with the Jewish Rescuers Citation.
The pair posed as Gentiles during the Nazi occupation of Hungary, rescuing Jewish children orphaned by the Holocaust and securing their escape to neutral Switzerland.
The honors will be presented by the B'nai B'rith World Center in Jerusalem and the Committee to Recognize the Heroism of Jews who Rescued Fellow Jews During the Holocaust (JRJ).
The story begins at the 4:44 mark in the video:
Rubinsztejn, 92, was born in Poland and fled with her family across the Carpathian Mountains into still-unoccupied Hungary. In 1942, Rubinsztejn made her way to Budapest, where she joined the Zionist youth movement Habonim Dror, volunteering to participate in its underground rescue activities.
She and other Habonim Dror members assumed a Gentile identity, and met in a park to plan operations and weapons smuggling.
As Rudolf Kastner – a leader of the Jewish Aid and Rescue Committee – negotiated the departure of a train-load of Jews from German-occupied Hungary to neutral Switzerland in 1944 with SS officer Adolf Eichmann, the goal of the organization became to put as many orphaned children onto the train after identifying them in the streets of Budapest.
Gyuri, 90, was born in Budapest and grew up in northeast Hungary. He joined the Hashomer Hatza'ir movement while living in Nyíregyháza, and eventually moved back to Budapest in 1942 to publish short stories and articles in Hashomer Hatza'ir's newspaper.
He took part in underground activities and in the summer of 1944 was sent by the movement with three comrades to South Transylvania in order to open a new route for the "tiyul," the Zionist underground's clandestine operation to smuggle Jews from Poland and Slovakia into Hungary and then on to Romania.
However, they were soon discovered, caught and deported to Auschwitz. Gyuri survived and returned to Budapest after the liberation.
In June, the B'nai B'rith World Center presented the 22nd annual awards for Excellence in Diaspora Journalism, honoring a trio of Israeli journalists noted for their work in covering the Diaspora issues.
The following video covers the highlights of the evening, including the acceptance speeches from each of the three journalists. Most of the speeches are given in Hebrew with English subtitles. Here is an excerpt from each acceptance speech:
Matan Hodorov:
"I would like to thank again the honorable heads of B'nai B'rith, and the members of the jury as well, for this great honor in receiving this award, and I promise to make an effort to stay worthy of it in the continuation of my journalism career."
Judy Maltz:
"I would like to use this stage to thank the B'nai B'rith World Center for their decision to dedicate a special award for covering this important field [with] the yearly award in memory of Wolf and Hilda Matsdorf."
David Horovitz:
"Thank you members of the jury...I greatly appreciate this lifetime achievement award."
Watch the awards ceremony highlights, below:
The B'nai B'rith World Center in Jerusalem coordinated a delegation from B'nai B'rith Europe last week, to express solidarity with Israel.
The visit was covered by InfoPublico.com, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA, 01:26:05 mark) and Telavivi.net:
The B'nai B'rith World Center in Jerusalem coordinated a delegation from B'nai B'rith Europe this week, to express solidarity with Israel.
The visit was covered by the Times of Israel in an article detailing daily updates on Operation Protective Edge:
A six-member group from B'nai B'rith Europe is visiting on a solidarity mission.
The group was briefed by government officials on the ongoing conflict with Hamas, learned first hand about the realities faced by Israelis in the most heavily shelled areas, and conveyed a message of unity with the people of Israel.
It visited Ashkelon, Sderot, areas in the Merhavim and Hof Ashkelon regional councils, and an Iron Dome battery.
Sunday marked B'nai B'rith World Center's 22nd annual Award for Journalism ceremony, with a trio of Israeli journalists noted for their work in covering the Israeli-Diaspora.
One of the three, David Horovitz, Times of Israel's founding editor, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his three decades of service to Israeli journalism.
The other two, Matan Hodorov and Judy Maltz, were given awards for excellence in Diaspora Reportage.
Media coverage of the event can be found below:
Jerusalem Post
The prizes were awarded by the B'nai B'rith World Center in memory of Dr. Wolf Matsdorf, a journalist and social worker, and his wife, Hilda, who was a leading social worker.
Maltz was a former economics reporter for The Jerusalem Post; Horovitz, who started out as a reporter for the Post, later became the paper's editor-in-chief, and before that was editor-in-chief of its sister publication, The Jerusalem Report.
Although it was claimed by Government Press Office director Nitzan Chen and several other people at the recent Jewish Media Summit that the Israeli media does not deal with the Jewish Diaspora unless there is a crisis or tragedy, this has proven to be untrue in the case of the annual BBWC competition – where the number of entries grows from year to year. This year, there were 33 applicants who submitted 82 news and feature stories.

COLUMBUS, OH - DECEMBER 14: Steve Mason #1 of the Columbus Blue Jackets tends net against the Nashville Predators at the Nationwide Arena on December 14, 2009 in Columbus, Ohio. (Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
(Getty Images) The Philadelphia Flyers have signed Steve Mason to a one-year, $1.5 million extension, according to Anthony SanFilippo. Mason, 24, would have been a free agent this coming summer, but the Flyers didn't want to let him get away. The Flyers traded Philadelphia's previous backup goalie, Michael Leighton and a third round draft pick in 2015 to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Mason last week. A few days after being traded, Mason made his Flyers debut on Saturday's game aganist the Winnipeg Jets in the third period, which ended in a 4-1 loss. Mason blocked all nine shots on goal. In 2009, Mason won the Calder Trophy as a rookie with Columbus. Since then, his career has gone downhill. This season, Mason compiled a 3-6-1 record with an .899 save percentage and 2.95 goals against average, in 13 apperances with the Blue Jackets. Mason has a career record of 96-99-27 with a 2.90 goals against average and a .903 save percentage. He also has 19 career shutouts. With a lot of work, Mason hopes to become Philadelphia's number one goaltender next year.

Cradle of Noble Heroes ('Duyan ka ng Magiting')
It may look like real bloodstains on the front page of today's issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer but no, they are not.This is the broadsheet's way of saluting the heroes who offered their lives for the freedom of our country.
They further explained this catchy way of expressing their advocacy when I opened the broadsheet and opened the real front page.
Filipinos have made the ultimate sacrifice to win and protect the freedom we now enjoy. Let us continue to uphold it with brave, responsible journalism.
I first saw the image of this front page from ABS-CBN's Niko Baua's tweet earlier this morning. And because I am fond of memorable and artistic front pages and covers, I immediately went to the public market and grabbed myself a copy.
But this was not the first instance that the Inquirer did this Independence Day gimmick. Last year, they created a 'false cover' as a statement of press freedom press in lieu of the independence day. [You can check that issue by looking at my last year's post here.]
Kudos to the Inquirer for your catchy way of showing to the younger generation the meaning of heroism and freedom! Long live our heroes! Long live the Filipino people!
Side notes and other stuff:
- Today is the 114th Independence Day of the Philippines. Let us thank our heroes and forefathers who fought for the freedom that we are enjoying today. (Special mention to my wasak na wasak idols Juan Luna and Graciano Lopez-Jaena. Tagay sa langit - o kung saan man - mga pare! and to the macho guwapito Gregorio del Pilar.)
- Much has been written about the celebration and non-celebration of the Philippine Independence today. Some are jubilant, others are apathetic. There are those who care for its essence and there are those who care for the holiday. You may not feel it, you may not celebrate it, or you may not care for it, but you are still one of the beneficiaries of the victory of the war of our fathers. Smile. And be thankful even just for today.
- Rp612Fic 2012 (#RP612fic) - If you are following some of our local journalists, bloggers, and policy makers on Twitter, then you may have seen this hashtag (But I guess not since you are busy kissing the ass of the Twitter famewhores and sucking the updates of Pinoy Big Brother). It's the project of the blog RocketKapre.com. For today'e celebration, they have come up with tweets of alternate history stories (Most tweets are funny, entertaining, and out-of-this-world!). I am inviting you to join the conversation, stretch your creativity and imagination, and have a good laugh. I have already made some on my Twitter account, you may want to check it out.
- Lupang Hinirang: The Philippine National Anthem Animation for Independence Day 2012(Animated by Arnold Arre and performed by Radioactive Sago Project) - NHCP and RockEd Radio's gift for the Filipino people to mark our 114th independence day. This is probably the best music video of our national anthem that I have seen - no self-gratifying politicians; no artistas who do not memorize the lyrics of the song. Just pure artistry and music. Check it out!
- I have already written and said this last year but let me repeat again: We are celebrating independence day but I believe that we are not really that free. Press people are killed and information are kept hidden. Support the Freedom of Information Act! Pass the Freedom of Information Bill. NOW!
I suck at concluding my posts and articles so let me just share my favorite line from my favorite Sugarfree song, Los Baños:
Kalayaan sa ating lahat!
