Facebook Loosens Privacy Controls, Sparks a Backlash
Policy Counsel
Senior Director of Federal Policy and the Washington Office
We empower consumers through education and action about communication and media issues involving telephone, cable, Internet and wireless services and equipment.
Facebook simplified its privacy controls for 350 million users Wednesday. But some users and privacy advocates protest that important controls got lost in translation — including the right to keep one's data from unscrupulous third-party developers.

Winner's video: One-on-one with Hedley contest
Back in March, we announced a contest where you and your friends could enter to win a private video chat with Hedley using Rogers One Number. Recently, we met up with our lucky winner Emma to deliver her prize and document the entire experience. In addition to a Q&A with the band, Emma and her friends got a special live acoustic performance of "Beautiful." Check it out:
If you want to try out Rogers One Number for yourself, go to www.rogersonenumber.ca to learn more.
And if you can't get enough of the band, why not check out the concert listings on Rogers Wireless Box Office? The boys from Hedley will be playing at Rogers Bayfest in Sarnia on July 15 and we've got tickets right here.

Weekend Reading: New contests, retail concepts & fatherly figures
Last week we were excited to launch our brand new retail concept at our Yonge/Bloor location, with over 20 newly redesigned stores hitting Canada throughout 2012!
In our RedBoard post, we highlighted the top 8 enhancements you can expect to see in the new stores. I always find visuals leave a lasting impression though, which is why we updated our post to include photos and videos from the Toronto launch party as well. Check out some candid shots on our Google+ album, and watch the video for all the live action, including an interview with Sian Doyle, our VP of Retail.
Upcoming Contests & Tours
Next week, the hit TV series True Blood returns for season 5, and Rogers wants to celebrate with you! First, catch up on all the action from last season on Rogers Anyplace TV before the big premiere on June 10. We've got season 4 in its entirety, full of vampire lust, gore, and drama – FREE for all Rogers Cable TV customers with a subscription to HBO.
If you're still blood thirsty and can't wait until the premiere on HBO Canada, you'll definitely want to visit Beyond the Guide for their "Gimme 5 for True Blood" contest! Rogers customers who subscribe to The Movie Network can enter for a chance to win two tickets to an advance screening of the True Blood Season 5 premiere June 6th at the Velma Rogers Theatre in Toronto! Get treated to hors d'oeuvres and cocktails with fellow "Truebies" in our "Merlotte" and "Fangtasia" rooms, where you'll have the chance to win some amazing prizes too!
If you're more mall-surfer than couch-surfer, you'll want to look for our teams next month during our "Smoked by Windows" tour. Test your phone's speed against a Windows phone, such as the Nokia Lumia 710 or 900, for a chance to win a $100 Rogers gift certificate! Check out how our friends at Mobile Syrup measured up at the Yonge/Dundas launch – hint: they are not $100 richer! You can also chat with fellow users and challengers in our Community Forums and compare results. The tour kicks off June 1st at Sherway Gardens, Eaton Centre, and Fairview Mall. Stay tuned to @RogersBuzz for more details and tour dates.
Infographic of the Week
Seems like yesterday we were celebrating Mother's Day, and now Father's Day is right around the corner! Mashable released another interesting infographic this week on how tech savvy today's dad's are, and we thought it might be a good share with our readers. One example we found interesting – when it comes to social media, what do first-time dads share online? 42% post family updates a few times a week, with 56% of those being photos and 21% being videos. Who knew dad was so shutter-happy?! More fun stats on today's dads here.

"So an Albertan, an Ontarian and a Quebecker were talking about the Internet…":Rogers Innovation Report regional results
Do you hail from the Atlantic Canada? Over 2/3 of you said you'd consider leaving your job to work for a company that allows you to work from anywhere … and 10% of you said you'd give up sex for the Internet.
From Quebec? You were less likely than Canadians in any other region to say you'd give up chocolate for the Internet.
From Alberta?A majority of you feel that the Internet makes your life better. So much so, in fact, that 42% of you would give up alcohol for it, while 26% would give up coffee.
Earlier this month, we unveiled the national results of the Rogers Innovation Report, a survey that takes the pulse of Canadian tech users from coast-to-coast. Diving into results a little more deeply provides fascinating insight into regional differences. Today, we're providing a glimpse of some of the most compelling of these findings.
Who says the Internet makes their lives better?
Canadians in British Columbia (82%) just nudge out Albertans (80%) in believing that the Internet allows them to connect to people and information in ways that make their lives better.
Who would choose the Internet over electricity and water? Over bathing?
The Atlantic region leads the pack here. In fact, 48% of Canadians from the Atlantic provincestold us they value the Internet as much as or more than basic utilities like electricity and water. This might explain why they also lead in another category: 6% of respondents from Atlantic Canada would give up daily bathing for Internet access. The national average is 4%. Only 1% of Quebeckers would be willing to make the same sacrifice.
Who are the most socially responsible shoppers?
One in 2 British Columbians told us they felt they could make better decisions about what they buy if they were able to use their mobile device to read a barcode to get information on a company's corporate responsibility practices.
And what about S.E.X.?
Quebeckers will tell you that it's no surprise to them that they were least likely to want to sacrifice pleasures like chocolate, alcohol and sex for the Internet. It must come down to La Belle Province's Joie de Vivre! ;)
What do you think about how your region stacked up against the rest of Canada? Weigh in here in the comments section, or on Twitter using the #RIRExplores hashtag.
About the survey: From April 13th to April 15th 2012, an online survey was conducted among 1,010 randomly selected adult Canadians that own a smartphone and are connected to the Internet. All were Angus Reid Forum panelists. The margin of error is +/- 3.1%, nineteen times out of twenty. The results have been statistically weighted according to region and gender. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. Complete survey results are available on Slideshare at http://roge.rs/JvHESr

Rogers Youth Fund helping students succeed
Last year, we announced the Rogers Youth Fund, a national commitment to help Canada's youth overcome barriers to education so they can succeed in the classroom and beyond. To do this, we have formed strategic relationships with charities across Canadian communities that support youth and basic skills education.
As the school year comes to an end and students gear up for summer, we wanted to give you an update .
What's new?
The Rogers Youth Fund has been moving full steam ahead partnering with 24 Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada and 16 local charitable organizations across the country. We've created new programs to support after-school, basic-skills education and enhanced existing programs with additional tutors and mentors. We're excited to see that our Fund is already making a difference in the academic lives of youth.
Where are we helping?
The Fund supports local groups across the country. In Ottawa, Operation Go Home assists at risk and homeless youth and provides them with opportunities to become contributing members of their community.
PEACH's School Away from School program promotes educational and social well-being of teenagers in Toronto's Jane and Finch community. Their hands-on programs ensure that youth are engaged and getting the support they need.
In Vancouver, we're working with the Simon Fraser University to create a dynamic mentorship program that brings together a university student and a youth to learn from each other.
Our commitment to the Rogers Youth Fund
We've signed multi-year arrangements and we've committed to steady and stable funding that helps keep the doors open and the lights on.
Last year we announced that new Rogers customers or existing customers changing price plans or adding a new line would be given the option of getting a paperless bill or paying a $2 monthly paper invoice fee. The proceeds from customers who have chosen a paper bill, up to and including today, will continue to be directed to the Rogers Youth Fund for the course of that customer's contract. After today, we will continue to support the programs but not from the paper bill fee.
What's next?
Over the last year, we've visited every partner and every program, met with students, parents and volunteers. We're looking forward to making a meaningful and real difference in the lives of youth. These youth organizations do amazing work and we're proud to support them.
For more information, please visit www.rogersyouthfund.com and learn more about our partners and their programs.

Weekend Reading: Mobile Wallet, Next is Now, & TV Makeover winner
We announced lots of exciting things this week including some news about mobile wallets, a follow up to our first Next Is Now video, and officially announced the winner of our TV Makeover contest! Definitely a fantastic way to kick-start the long weekend!
Mobile Wallet
On Tuesday, we announced a partnership with CIBC to announce the upcoming launch of Canada's first mobile payment solution!'
This announcement marked the first time banks and wireless carriers have joined forces to offer commercially available mobile payments solutions, by leveraging SIM cards inside an NFC-enabled Rogers' smartphone. The Telecom Blog noted that "Canada is one of the most 'prepared' markets for adoption of mobile payments."
For more on NFC technology, what Canadians are saying about mobile wallets and what this means for Rogers & CIBC customers, read our full Redboard post here, check out this post on Tech Vibes or visit Mobile Syrup for an in-depth video demonstration.
You can also take a look at our post on RedBoard Biz about the basics of contactless payments.
Next is Now … More than Ever
Last year we released a video entitled "Next Is Now," showcasing how human connections are empowered by rapid changes in communications technology, here in Canada and around the world. This week, we launched the sequel to this video entitled "Next is Now… More than Ever."
This time around, we examined statistics that speak to how much Canadians value the Internet. For example, did you know that people spend more than two hours every day glancing at their smartphones? All Things Mobile thoughtfully featured both the original and new versions of the video, and you can read more from our own RedBoard post earlier this week.
Meet our TV Makeover Contest Winner!
Earlier this month, we asked our readers to submit photos of their current TV setups for a chance to win a Samsung and Nextbox prize pack valued at over $5000 – and there was no shortage of entries!
After receiving photos from all over Ontario, our RedBoard team had the task of selecting the top 5 contenders. We sifted through TV's with built in VCR's, molded into wooden frames, and rabbit ears believe it or not! But in the end, our random draw revealed Howard from Richmond Hill to be our grand prize winner! Congratulations again to Howard – we look forward to seeing the new setup!
Happy May24 Weekend!
For all those celebrating Victoria Day, have a safe and happy holiday!

Top eight enhancements to our Rogers retail stores
Just as technology is changing quickly around us, so are your technology needs. At Rogers, we're excited to introduce a brand new retail approach to help you get the most of your products and services.
On May 18th, we're officially launching our new and fully redesigned Rogers store at Yonge and Bloor in Toronto. We will be launching over 20 newly redesigned stores across Canada through 2012 in major markets in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan.
Here's a list of the eight most exciting enhancements you can expect to see at our new retail stores:
- We've transformed the look of our stores. Our completely new, open, and ultra-modern design features interactive displays to best showcase our newest products and services, and tons of seating and activities so you can feel right at home!
- We've become a one-stop shop. You'll now have access to the full suite of Rogers products and services in-store, including account activations, hardware upgrades, and many other service transactions.
- We're giving you hands-on experience with our products. We've set up new product stations throughout the store, so you can actually try our products and services prior to purchasing them.
- We're changing your service experience. You will now be greeted by a host at the reception table who will determine your needs and set up personalized one-on-one appointments with our experienced customer service representatives.
- We're making you a part of the Rogers community. Our interactive learning sessions and group product demonstrations will take place at our new community table where you can come chat with our seasoned tech experts or share tips with other Rogers customers in-store.
- We're keeping you informed. A new wall calendar lists all our in-store events such as learning sessions, product launch dates, as well as community, sports and entertainment events that you may want to know about, like upcoming Blue Jays games and concerts from your favourite artists.
- We've made our stores even more comfortable for you. Swing by for a quick coffee, read through the latest magazines, and enjoy some down time as your kids play with toys and activities available in-store. We also offer free Wi-Fi so you can stay connected while you visit the store.
- We're going to make you want to come back. You can now sign up for complimentary group learning sessions in-store, where you can learn how to use our newest products and services in a friendly and engaging environment. For example, if you're new to Android, we'll be hosting Android 101 sessions to help you get the most out of your new device. Have your say by letting us know what types of learning sessions you'd like to see in-store – we tailor these learning sessions according to your needs.
We'll be posting some pictures and a video from our official launch event soon. Stay tuned!

UPDATE (May 18, 2012, 11:30 a.m): We've just uploaded an album of pictures from last night's Rogers retail store launch event on our Google+ page! Check them out here. A video will be coming soon! Stay tuned!
UPDATE (May 18, 2012, 7:24 p.m): Here is the video recap of last night's official launch of the new Rogers retail store at Yonge and Bloor in Toronto:

Are you a commitment phobe? We've got just the thing for you!
You're too young to settle down. Sure, you've had some great times with good old reliable, but you miss the thrill and excitement that comes with something totally new.
We get it. With the amazing selection of devices available today and the next wave of cool smartphones always around the corner, we know you want to get your hands on the latest and greatest when YOU want it, without waiting until the end of your term.
We agree. That's why as of today, customers who sign up with Rogers have a new way to get the coolest smartphones without having to wait until the end of their term. So, what is it? It's called FLEXtab. Here's how it works:
- Choose a smartphone with an eligible term plan and make a low payment on the device – the price will depend on the device you choose, but we'll spot you the majority of the upfront full device cost. The remaining amount is your FLEXtab balance.
- Every month into your term, your remaining FLEXtab balance goes down.
- Want to get a new smartphone? Just pay off your FLEXtab balance and you'll be eligible to upgrade to the device you want.
It really is that simple. Super easy, all done on your terms, not ours, and is part of our commitment to giving you even greater flexibility and choice. Find out more at www.rogers.com/flextab.
So tell us, what do you think of FLEXtab?

The Internet and you: Our new video Next is Now … More than Ever
Welcome to the red carpet world premiere launch of Next is Now … More than Ever. Red carpet as in RedBoard carpet, of course! Back in 2010, we released our original Next is Now video, dealing with how human connections are empowered by rapid changes in communications technology here in Canada and around the world.
This time around, in the Next is Now … More than Ever video, we're looking at statistics that speak to how much Canadians value the Internet (more than chocolate? Coffee? Water?), smart appliances, the development of the dual-screen experience with TVs and tablets, smartphone usage, digital wallets, and the impact the Internet is having on health, government, education, and shopping.
Our Executive VP and CMO John Boynton summed up Rogers' commitment to the Internet experience nicely last week when he presented our vision of "Creating world-leading Internet experiences":
Creating is a great word, we think, because it means it's a journey. One we've been on, and one we'll continue to be on. There's a lot of co-creating that goes on in our products and services now. We really are trying to build things that are responding to our customers. In a way, we're co-creating with our customers and in many ways our customers are leading the way in showing us what they need.
Surprised by some of the stats in the Next is Now … More than Ever video? Join the conversation here on Redboard, or on Twitter using the #NextIsNow hashtag!
Next is Now … More than Ever was produced by Rogers with support from Thornley Fallis.

- If you get into credit card debt in college you most likely won't get out of it anytime soon.
- The habits you start now can carry into the rest of your life - good or bad.
- Stewardship of your money is very important. The money isn't your own, it belongs to God.
- Living beyond your means is a bad way to go through life. Debt handing over your head can be stressful and keep you from being able to purchase a home or save money later.
- If college students aren't a cash cow for credit card companies, then why would they give you free stuff to sign up? Why are they constantly sending you junk mail? Why are you their #1 target audience?
If you can't pay for it in cash - say no.
If you can't afford it, you don't "need" it - even if you really want it.
Otherwise, you will join these statistics:
- The average credit card debt owed by college students is about $2,700.
- About 10 percent owed more than $7,000!
- Students held an average of three separate credit cards
- 78 percent of students had at least one credit card
- 32 percent of students had four or more credit cards
- 95 percent of graduate students carried credit cards
Good for me - bad for you. That is just the beginning. Credit card debt is stupid.

Do Web Designers Need to go to a Technology College?
Photo: Blog Redesign by Vancouver Film School
Being a self-starter is a valuable tool as a web designer. Many designers learned their skills on their own time through trial and error and personal research. While there are probably hundreds of web designers holding good jobs who never attended college, that number is shrinking as web design becomes a more structured career. Today, companies are looking for web designers who have diplomas to back up their talent.
Competitive Job Market
One of the simplest reasons for a web designer to go to college is that there is so much competition in the web design market today. Anything you can do to make your application more impressive than the next person's application is worth looking into. Employers like to hire college graduates because that degree provides proof that the applicant is able to begin a task and complete it in the required amount of time. Many jobs in the computer field are quickly becoming closed to anyone who does not have the appropriate degree to compete.
Benefits of Structured Education
Spending time focused on web design through college courses can be valuable for you and your future employers. College gives you an opportunity to work directly with instructors who have been in the field and know what skills you really need on the job. You will be faced with a wide range of topics regarding web design that will give you an extra set of tools to fall back on when you encounter a problem in the real world. College also gives you a chance to learn about the most cutting edge technology as it is released.
How Employers View Degrees
When someone has earned an associate's degree or a bachelor's degree in their chosen field, it tells an employer that the applicant is dedicated to gaining as much knowledge as possible about their work. Employers also understand that it is impossible to graduate from college without learning how to meet deadlines with quality work. When facing a choice between a talented web designer without a degree and one with a degree, the degree will almost always win. College provides a structured study of web design that depends on a stable approach to studies over a series of years. Many employers appreciate stability in an employee as much as they admire creativity and skill.
Finding the Right School
When you are looking for a good web design school, make sure that you choose one that holds accreditation in the United States. Schools with accreditation are required to meet certain educational standards so that students who graduate are guaranteed to have a good quality education. If you are trying to choose between a 2-year degree and a 4-year degree, opt for the 4-year degree whenever possible. The options for web design schools range from technical colleges to online degree programs. It is not hard to find a school that fits your schedule.
Jessica Bosari believes technology will eventually save the world. She writes about technology colleges for technology-colleges.info.

Your View: Oil companies' higher prices will do them in
Most Americans are acutely aware of the recent spike in gasoline prices at the pump, and many are asking why? It has now been revealed that American oil companies have sharply reduced oil imports and expanded U.S. oil exports abroad.
While this fattens the profit of greedy oil companies, it is a blow to struggling Americans now facing larger gas prices at the pump.
Oil companies are digging their own grave. Higher prices at the pump will encourage the introduction of all-electric vehicles (PEV) and the development of infrastructure to permit recharging across the country. If hybrid vehicles have currently reduced the dependence on oil, wait until PEVs hit the road!
High Point
Fox News, talk radio aim for Obama's demise
America has allowed the wolf (Fox News Nation) in sheep's clothing to continue its lies through deceit. The fair and balanced, we-report-you-decide concept, reduces the conscience of a man to the senselessness of his right judgments. These men and women present themselves as constitutional experts without justifiable evidence, as they lie to you, they believe their own lie.
Shepard Smith is the only employee of Fox that tries to tell truth as presented, without spinning or deceiving your decision making. They continue to "huff" and "puff" deceitful damage and out of control winds of indoctrinated wishful and hopeful demise of President Obama. Fox and talk radio "Rush" to judgment for people to consider the president as everything wrong and nothing right, even though his policies mirror the same as theirs.
The forefathers did not ever imagine any man or woman other than a white (Caucasian) man becoming president, Congress, Senate, Supreme Court, or any leadership position in the U.S.A. The forefathers did not know or were unable to see (foresight) the future intelligence of technology which produces equality for all men, if only it is allowed to be given (manifested). This is why the Constitution is flawed and unjustified when it suggests all men are created (treated) equal, fair and just.
Although there is murder, killing, poverty and slavery, etc., noted in the Bible, it is not justified by the Bible or God. Justification from Gospel preachers and Christians has allowed "godlessness" to pull our nation into a pit-fall of gossip. When a nation is empowered by man's law (constitution) rather than God's law (Jesus Christ), it has already fallen. The Word of God (Bible) cannot be amended to appease, satisfy or justify man's wrong. The Word of God, who is "Jesus Christ," is "the only" absolute justifiable right!
Expect trillion-dollar deficits to continue
Well, it is official: the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has forecast a drop in the 2013 budget deficit to $845 billion. The first under a TRILLION of the Obama years. Their forecast is based upon the massive tax increase on the wealthy ushered in by the "fiscal cliff" solution.
Of course, the CBO never estimates consumer behavior and the fact that the rich always adjust their finances accordingly and the government usually gets about half of what they project. Isn't is amazing that the government assumes everyone is stupid. The CBO projects GDP growth of a paltry 1.4 percent this year, but then a Lazarus-like Obama turn-around to 3.6 percent forever after.
What a fantasy land these people live in inside the beltway. But, what do you expect? They still believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus! Conclusion – expect trillion-dollar deficits to continue as the Obama/Reid/Pelosi welfare machine rolls on unabated.

Couldn't Resist
These are some of my outtakes from the quick photo shoot we did after school before it got too dark and dreary from all the clouds disturbing the natural light.
The Celestial Dress is a DIY that I made up with some terrific multi-surface craft paint from Martha Stewart (yes, it's washable!) and the Book Report Dress (in black) is an Oliver + S pattern.

Title: BEST COSTUME PURCHASE!
Date: Nov 03, 2010
We purchased this costume to use as a Centurian (Roman) Soldier at my son's Christian School. He has now worn it to 3 different events and it is still like new!
For trick or treating, we simply layered tan pants under the leg armor and tan socks in his sandals. We added a white turtleneck for extra warmth and it made the costume look even more regal!
*Arrived quickly via standard shipping
*Great quality
*True to size

I ordered this costume for my son because he is having an Ancient Rome birthday party. He ended up wearing it for Halloween as well. The costume is great except the white toga has started fraying after only two wearings. Also it is a little difficult to get his head through the head opening of the red cape part of the costume. And the arm pieces and leg pieces were too big. We had to add some extra velcro to get it to fit properly. Overall I am pleased with the costume.

After Van Halen postponed the final three months of their tour last week without explanation, David Lee Roth has now posted a video on www.vhnd.com in which he explains that the tour is derailed due to exhaustion. "The band is getting along famously, better than we have in quite some time," Roth says in the video. "As usual, we bit off way more than we could chew when it came to scheduling. The band is winning, but our schedule has been sidelined for unnecessary roughness. We're gonna take a break and we're gonna come all the way back around, because this tour is gonna take about two years."

When Katy Perry's 3-D concert movie, Part of Me, comes out on July 5, it will give fans a look at Perry on tour, and also a peek at the ups and downs of her personal life. Most notably, the movie was filming as her marriage to Russell Brand fell apart. "I thought it was important for me to show everything in between," she said about including both the good and the bad when she sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show on Tuesday (May 22). "Sometimes, people think that we're perfect, and we know we're not perfect at all," Perry explained. "I think it's important to start breaking down the idea that to achieve your dream, you have to always be perfect or flawless or live in a fantasy world. So that's why I decided to put everything into the film, in the most tasteful way. But mostly, it's about how I got there and the ride along the way, which can be bumpy, but mostly it was extremely fun."

It also uses elements of the Reddit site by allowing fans to rate cool content. The Little Monsters site will focus on fans sharing and creating photos and videos and allowing users to promote content that they like. However, it is undetermined when Little Monsters will launch out of beta mode. In other news, Sunday's season finale of The Simpsons also focused on Gaga. The episode featured the singer trying to cheer up the young Lisa Simpson after she won an award as the least popular kid at school. Once Gaga was able to lift Lisa's spirits, the two engaged in a musical number together.
Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose will produce a new EP from the band Candlelight Red. The recording sessions will soon commence at Arkitekt Studios in Butler, NJ. "While having Candlelight Red on tour with Sevendust, I was able to get familiar with their music and build a friendship with some of the band members," explains Rose. "So when they approached me with a desire for me to produce them, I jumped at the opportunity. After talking about what our goals were for the recording, we were happy to realize our goals were one and the same. To capture the band's live sound is the objective, and it's gonna happen. I'm beyond excited to get these songs finished and out to their fans!"
Former Crowded House drummer Peter Jones has died from brain cancer at the age of 45. Jones joined the band in 1994 after founding drummer Paul Hester quit the group.

"We remember him as a warm-hearted, funny and talented man, who was a valuable member of Crowded House," the band said in a statement. "He played with style and spirit. We salute him and send our love and best thoughts to his family and friends."

Thank you Ernesto and the rest of the Gecko Team for putting together a fabulous itinerary!
The bookings, from hotels to flights between San Jose, Arenal and Manuel Antonio, were handled efficiently. We especially loved our stay at La Maison in Manuel Antonio and the Volcano Inn in Arenal. Hotel staff were friendly and the tour guides were knowledgeable of the beautiful ecosystem.
I would definitely book with you guys again!
Kevin from Washington, DC, USA July 20, 2014
We had Ernesto and he was fantastic in taking the ideas of what we wanted to do and the short time frame we had to do them and developing a plan for us to follow. Everything was organized for us and we have a clear itinerary to follow. We didn't have to worry about anything on our trip. Transportation, food, hotel, adventures, all covered and planned. We only had one hiccup with a hotel wanting payment, but they made a quick call to Gecko and it was handled in less than a minute. We had an unbelievable time in Costa Rica and it was in large part to Gecko Trail Adventures and the trip they put together for us.
Fraser Valentine from Ottawa, Canada June 07, 2014
We used Gecko Trail to help us plan our first trip to Costa Rica. We chose the bi-coastal tour, and added a few extra days in the rain forest and on the beach on the Caribbean side of the country. It was great to spend about 10 days doing and seeing lots, and then hanging out in Puerto Viejo on the beautiful beach. We really enjoyed the bi-coastal tour, as you get a sense of the diversity of the country - the geography, the climate, and the people and architecture. Put simply, we had an amazing trip! Everything - and I mean everything - was perfect! Ernesto and his team pay attention to all the details; you arrive and the program just unfolds. Throughout our 15 days in Costa Rica, everything went off without any problems or issues - it was perfect. The country is beautiful, the people are friendly and warm, and the range of activities you can do is vast. It's a great holiday. If Costa Rica is on your "bucket list;" make this the year you go, and make sure you book with Gecko. You'll have a wonderful trip. We will be back for sure!!!
Maddox from Dallas, TX, USA March 09, 2014
Ernesto planned an absolutely fantastic 10 day trip to Costa Rica for me. I stayed in Manuel Antonio, Monteverde and La Fortuna. Each of the accommodations that he selected were just what I was hoping for. The tours that he suggested were excellent and overall, the trip was a DREAM VACATION! I can't wait to go back! Thank you Ernesto
Ken from NYC, USA September 03, 2012
without a doubt, gecko trail adventures planned an amazing, custom trip for me and my partner. We started our planning a few months before our trip in may, our trip was in August. We worked directly with Ernesto who was nothing short of amazing in response and suggestions. He made everything so easy via email catering to all our questions and whim. It definitely helped that he was american and had that perspective as he definitely knew what we would like and what we wouldn't. When it came down to the actual trip, everything went down absolutely flawless from start to finish. Every single tour, bus, transport that was scheduled picked us up right on time! As a seasoned traveler that has been around the world, I have always been skeptical of working with travel agencies but Gecko definitely impressed me which says a lot! One of the things that impressed us the most was when we were on our actual trip and wanted to make adjustments, all we did was email them and they responded with the adjustments in a prompt manner, easy!
Our trip path was:
San Show more
We worked a couple of months with Ernesto - Gecko Travel's Rep. He was very patient with us as we worked through all alternatives for the locations we *thought* we wanted to travel to and the various adventures offerred at each location. We were very concerned about the methods of traveling (intracountry buses and taxi's) and about actually having people meeting us when they said they'd be there. Rest assured - it was incredibly smooth. Every time someone was to meet us they were there - on time or even early a couple of times! There is "system" they use specifcially set up for us tourists and worked incredibly well.
As far as what we did, liked, etc: -- we were in the country for 12 days:
San Jose : The Poas Vocano, Dakota Coffee Plantation, and la Paz Waterfall park -- This really was a wonderful excursion. It takes all day after being picked up at 7:30 AM. There were only 6 of us & the Guide (who was with us the entire day & spoke perfect English). We hit the Poas Volcano on a beautiful clear day - unusual according to the guide, or more like "lucky".

Steve & Phil from Florida USA May 14, 2011
We had a excellent time on our 25th anniversary. Gecko made it happen without any flaws. Would highly recommend anyone use them for their trip. Ernesto was the best. Loved Costa Rica and the people. Will be back with friends.
Stephan Wininger from Nashville, TN USA April 18, 2011
Don't hesitate to utilize Gecko Trail's talented and professional staff to plan every detail of your Costa Rican vacation!
Everything went flawlessly and I could not be happier with all they did on my behalf to ensure a wonderful vacation. I highly doubt any other agency could be more informed or helpful.
Ernesto's patience and prompt responses to each and every question during the planning phase of my two week vacation was comforting and most reassuring.
Once I arrived in San José, I immediately took a regional Nature Air flight to San Manuel/Quepos for a week at the beach. Then a second Nature Air flight to La Fortuna to visit Arenal Volcano and Tabacón Thermal Springs Resort and Spa. Finally a third flight Nature Air flight back to San José where I enjoyed the last few nights of my Costa Rican vacation.
Gecko Trail's staff's attention to detail ensured each and every connection was perfectly choreographed and each hotel reservation perfect. Ernesto even had cabs waiting for me when appropriate. How nice not have to worry about any details!
On my next trip to Costa Rica, I will definitely be using Gecko Trail Adventures again. Soon, very soon!
Thanks again Gecko Trail Adventures!
Brian from Chicago March 15, 2011
I arranged my entire trip through Gecko based on feedback from friends that had used them before. It took about a month of working with them, looking into their advice and some research on my own but I basically had my entire trip booked via Gecko before I went. Everything was as smooth as could be and I enjoyed the trip immensely.
Some MUSTS are Tabacon if you are in Fortuna and the zip line canopy tour in Monteverde. Relaxing on the beach in Manuel Antonio was also very nice.
I only had 1 small problem on the trip with confusion at one hotel whether breakfast was included. It only took one quick email to Gecko and they resolved it with the hotel. It was the hotel's mistake.
Highly recommend Gecko to help plan a fun trip to CR!!
M Waugh from Canada March 07, 2011
We used Gecko to help plan our trip. We provided them with the places we wanted to go and what we wanted to see ..... we had a hassle free vacation and amazing two weeks in Costa Rica. I have already recommended this firm to others. Thanks guys for making our vacation so special.
Brian from New Jersey March 07, 2011
Our 10 night custom vacation was spectacular thanks to Ernesto at Gecko putting it all together. Out trip included 4 cities: San Jose, Manuel Antonio, Arenal and Santa Ana. We had a mix of active days and others for relaxation so we reutrned home refreshed. The only suggestion I would make for those who can pack light (<40 lbs) and afford it is to fly between destinations rather than take the tourist vans. These trips can be between 4 and 5 hours with air taking about 30 minutes.
David from Winnipeg, Canada February 22, 2011
My trip went really well. All the details planned by you at Gecko went flawlessly. A couple comments to keep in mind when you are dealing with other tourists follow:
1. The Arenal Volcano area is quite beautiful with great hiking and other activities available, but don't expect to see the top of the volcano as it is almost always cloud covered.
2. Of my two excursions on my full day in the Arenal area, the first one (the horseback ride to the La Paz Waterful operated by Desafio) was very scenic and nice, but I was the only English speaking person on the three-person tour so the guide primarily spoke Spanish. In fact he really only spoke to one person so it didn't seem he was telling us much of anything about the nature and scenery we were passing. The second excursion (the Arenal Volcano Hike operated by PVT) was excellent. The guide was amazing at pointing out and explaining so much. Our group members were also quite fit so he took us on a longer more challenging hike. I gave him a big tip!
3. In Manuel Antonio National Park, a lot of Show more
Tim and Robrt from Portland January 07, 2011
First of all Ernesto at Gecko Trail, you are awesome!!!! Everything was wonderfully coordinated and the accommodations, activities, tour companies and guides were exceptional.
Or time at Banana Azul passed quickly. We would highly recommend BA. The place is magical. We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations and the great staff. The grounds are amazing to say the least. The food was top notch and we loved the bar and open lobby.
The white water rafting trip is a must! Ricky, Miguel and the other guides were all professional and really fun. We would highly recommend this guide company.
We arrived at Los Lagos Resort shortly after sunset. Again, thank you Ernesto. What a great place. The natural hot springs were heavenly to say the least. The room was really nice. We could see Arenal from the front terrace. The grounds and facilities were wonderful.
In San Jose we stayed at Casa 69. Nice place. Well kept and very friendly.
We went out on the town Tuesday night a found a wild scene at the local gay bars. Another surprise for sure.
Ed from St. Louis, MO USA January 07, 2011
Found Gecko Trail Adventures through a Google search for gay-friendly travel. Any reservations I had about booking every aspect of my travel in Costa Rica with a company I was not familiar with was immediately put aside. Mauricio was my agent at Gecko and did an amazing job of recommending various hotels and activities. Considering how many times I had to change my itinerary in the months before my trip, I am indebted to him for 1) keeping me organized 2) making all the hotel, transport and activity arrangements for me 3) being incredibly responsive to my questions. My transports included private driver in San Jose (airport to hotel) as well as the Interbus shuttle system (shared shuttle with ~7 other people). Be forewarned that car travel in parts of CR can be rough/bumpy, since the road system is not as well-developed as in the States. Shared shuttle is a nice, cheap way to go, plus gives you the opportunity of meeting some other adventuresome travelers (in my case, mostly students, Europeans, those wanting to save a little money).
Things that I would highly Show more
Thanks to Gecko Trail Adventures, my partner and I had a wonderful, worry-free week in Costa Rica. We simply sent Gecko Trail an e-mail describing the kind of vacation and activities we wanted (both adventurous and relaxing), and Nina set up everything: the hotels, the tours, the shuttle vans. She responded to all our e-mailed questions promptly, thoroughly and kindly. The shuttle vans always arrived right on time, and without fail the tour guides—whether for the hike around Arenal Volcano, the rain-forest hike to Rio Celeste, whitewater rafting on the Pacuare River or snorkeling in the Caribbean—were knowledgeable, friendly and eager to ensure we had a great time. In La Fortuna, the lovely, immaculately landscaped hotel El Silencio del Campo is a gem; each room is its own cabin, with a picture-book view of the volcano. And in Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean, Banana Azul hotel is another terrific find: a 12-room B&B on well-tailored grounds with a
pool, open-air bar/restaurant and other amenities, all a stone's throw from the ocean. Gecko Trail helped us experience so many of the wonders of this beautiful country without having to handle any hassles.

Ali Farka Toure: Springing from the Roots (Une visite a Ali Farka Toure)
Description: West African guitarist Ali Farka Touré began receiving international attention in the late 1980s, when his recordings (which mix the flavors of American rural blues with the sounds and rhythms of his native Mali) were released in the United States to a small but enthusiastic audience. Since then, Toure has becomes one of the biggest success stories in African music, recording with Western artists such as Ry Cooder while still maintaining his own unique musical personality. Ali Farka Touré: Springing From the Roots is a 52-minute documentary that examines Touré the performer at home in Mali, performing but also busy with his work as a farmer and encouraging other musicians in their craft.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

In case you were wondering, Charlie was actually there with us also. Unfortunately, he was either with his daddy or napping every time I brought my camera out. He seems hurt that he didn't make it into any of the other photos, don't you think? And then the park rangers showed up and announced that everyone was having too much fun and it was time to go home. They seemed like the type you don't want to mess with, so we decided it was best to do what they said…The end.
Some days you go to the beach for a photo shoot and magic just happens. This was one of those days. I could go on about how unbelievable this family is and about how I could literally feel the immense love that they have for one another radiating out of them, but I think I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

6NOV: The Apocolypse Cometh
View Single Post
November 6th, 2012, 03:54
The Thrashman is partially correct about the Founder's intent with the Electoral College. He's missing the aspect that it was also a safety valve against the stupidity of the unwashed masses. With the politically active of the age being largely limited to gentlemen farmers, the Founders put the actual selection process in the hands of people they trusted (rich white male landholders like themselves) while maintaining a semblence of democracy. You'll note that the Constitution does not stipulate how electoral representatives shall vote—theoretically they could completely ignore the popular vote. Individual states have since codified how that works for each state, but the legal framework was set by the Founders to call an audible just in case the colonists elected (an invalid example, but illustrative) King George to be president.
Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

Ragan seeks more superspeedway magic
David Ragan thought he belonged in NASCAR's top division right from the beginning.
All it took was starting out his rookie season in 2007 by finishing fifth in the sport's most famous race, the Daytona 500.
"(That) was probably the first time in a Sprint Cup car that I felt like, man, this is where I need to be," said Ragan, who made some late model starts at Caraway Speedway on his way up. "I felt comfortable, and I was at ease after that race knowing that I could compete with the best."
He's been at his best at Daytona and the similar Talladega Superspeedway, where engine restrictions and the aerodynamic draft result in cars running together in big packs, giving virtually every driver a chance to win.
Ragan has been good enough at that type of racing to post both of his Cup victories. The first came in July of 2011 at Daytona before he was released by Roush at the end of that year, the victim of a spotty record and dwindling sponsorship. The other triumph came at Talladega this spring when he got a last-lap push by teammate David Gilliland that turned into a 1-2 finish for underfunded Front Row Motorsports in the biggest surprise of the season.
Now, he comes back to Daytona seeking more superspeedway magic in Saturday night's 400-mile race.
He realizes that Daytona is a different animal than Talladega because it is not as wide and smooth, making how well a car drives a factor, particularly in the heat of summer when oils in the asphalt come to the track surface.
"It's a lot easier to pass (at Talladega)," Ragan said. "It's wider so you can maneuver. Handling doesn't matter as much, so you can take two tires, you can take no tires very often and you're still fine.
"But Daytona is opposite, and I think that the only thing that's in my back pocket from those speedway wins is maybe some confidence in the other drivers' eyes that, 'Hey, David can make a good decision; we can stick with him; I feel comfortable drafting with him.' I think that's the only thing that we can really take.
"Hopefully that win in the spring, some guys still remember that and they're comfortable drafting with me. And I've got a lot of friends; that's a good thing. It worked out perfect having David Gilliland as a teammate right behind me. I knew what he was going to do without even having to ask or think about it. If that happens again, that's certainly a positive for us."
But, given the fickle nature of pack racing, where a wrong move by one driver can result in a massive crash, Ragan is well aware that he can't plan anything in advance of Saturday night, even if he sees that he and Gilliland have strong cars in today's opening practice sessions.
"You can't sit down on Tuesday or Thursday or Friday and make a plan," Ragan said. "You've got to make decisions as the flow of the race changes. If they have a big wreck early in the race and there's only 25 cars running, then your strategy changes. If there's 40 cars still running with 50 laps to go, your strategy changes again.
"You've just got to know all the factors and rely on your crew chief and your spotter, and myself and my judgment, and try to make the best decision you can. We'll try to look at all those factors. I'll know what kind of car I'll have, whether it's a very, very fast car or an average car, whether it's good in a tight pack or by itself. You weigh in all those factors, and it's ultimately up to me to make the best decision, and hopefully I'll prepare myself enough where I can make a good decision, and if we're in contention at the end of the race, I feel like my chances are as good as any at making the right moves in the closing laps of the race."
