Enjoy spectacular views from this luxurious condominium located 1.5 blocks to the beach and a short walk to town; high speed wireless Internet, pool, A/C, fully equipped kitchen, on-site secure covered parking, on-site concierge and caretaker and much more!
Absorb the refreshing ocean breezes from your own private balcony, cool off in the pool, or go for a stroll on the beach but don't miss the adorable Congo Monkeys playing in the trees at eye level from 'The Congo Lounge', the rooftop terrace.
Alta Vista Condominiums has no match in Samara or the surrounding beaches. When you want to be close to town and next to the ocean, in a stylish ocean view condo with all the comforts of home and more, look no further.
Recipient of Trip Adviser's prestigious ' Five Star Award of Excellence', Samara still has no match, even five years after we opened for business. Randall, the caretaker and concierge, has been with the Alta Vista Team for 4+ years and continues to receive glowing reviews. Rates have remained the same going back to 2009 despite heavy investments in new furniture, decoration, and relentless upkeep. A common refrain from our guests is, 'of all the places we've stayed in Costa Rica, yours is the only that looks as good or better in person as it does online.' I'm proud to present a property and a vacation experience to the stylish discerning independent traveler who shuns packaged trips but won't settle for shared bathrooms or the tourist traps promoted by false advertising.
We have at least ten different guests/families who have visited us every year after their first stay. They go on to tell their friends who then also become repeat guests. They love the home-like feeling the condo has. Randall is almost always at the building as is Catherine our lovely administrator. Zorro is an adorable constant companion!
Make your reservation at Alta Vista today and join the ranks of our many high-end repeat guests!

I bought the land in 2006, the same year I moved to Playa Samara. We broke ground fall of 2007 and wrapped up construction December 2008. That's right, I planned and built Alta Vista Condominiums overseeing every detail to the way I would like it as if I were on vacation. I've traveled to many beaches being a surfer and waterman and Playa Samara took the prize for being the friendliest, cleanest, most tico beach in Costa Rica. I built multiple condos with the idea that I'd live in one and rent the other two for my income.
"Location, location, location. I'm located on the west (north) end of the bay of Playa Samara, in the small village called Cangrejal. It's still Samara Beach, it's just on the edge of the bay which means it's quiet. My building backs up to the forest and their are no neighbors to three sides of me. The only inhabitants are the incredible amount of different species - from howler monkeys, to tucans and iguanas, and everything in between, get ready for a natural paradise!"
Other Activities: Shopping, kayaking, wildlife viewing, boating.

"Unbeatable views of the beach and ocean yet on the dead-end street that leads to the beach just 1.5 blocks away. Some other rental properties in Samara have great views, but you have to drive or make an unpleasant walk to the beach. Some places in Samara are close to the beach but have no view and are stagnant, with no beach breezes. Because of my openness to the ocean the breezes constantly reach the building keeping mosquitoes to a minimum and refreshing to a maximum! Also, I've provided a unique benefit by providing luxury in the middle of a typical Costa Rican beach. I love surfing and exploring town but it's hot and full of many adventures! Me and my guests (and you too) will love coming home to your safe, secure, air conditioned condo with a full white-line kitchen, hot water, high speed internet, and toilet paper you can flush!"

HI, New to forum... blah blah blah... be nice to me please. I searched but did not find a really good answer, My Wife and I bought a 1939 cape-cod style house that has wiring probably done in the late 50's and obviously plaster lath almost everywhere. We tore out the tile off of the walls in the bathroom, and we took the floor down to the original wood (going to do tile). But as for the walls, there are 4 holes in the plaster (which looks like the gypsum board plaster stuff, not the lath, and we would like to do tile surrounding the tub. Now the Question: can we tile over the plaster, or would I be better off taking it all down, and putting green drywall up and cement board up in the place around the tub? I know the advantages/ disadvantages of doing this sound and cost wise, just looking for the most reasonable answer.
Welcome and we are always pleasant around here, no need to worry. Sounds like you are on the right track as far as I would be concerned. Remove what is there and start with a good base. Add some blocking if you need to for future handicap grab bars now. Insulate any exterior walls. And the cement board under tile is the way to go, but should be sealed with a product like "redguard". It keeps the water from migrating through the grout over time. If you do use redguard it creates a vapor barrier on an exterior wall, so remove any vapor barrier (like plastic or craft faced paper) from your insulation. Good luck and keep us posted, we like pictures too.
Just My Made in the
Thanks, Now, I have one other question, I was at menards the other week and this stuff called GREENE Board was on sale for 5.65 a panel vs the normal 11.79 a panel. They told me that it can be used both vertically on walls and on the floor. It is 1/4" thick. Has anyone heard of it and would I be okay using it around the shower? I think since it is 1/4" I may consider putting a sheet of plywood up behind it first, unless there are other suggestions. Also can I pick up the redgaurd at any home improvement place? I will put some pictures up as we go. we bought the house and are re-doing the kitchen and bathroom for sure and little here and theres as well. Thanks
I would just use durarock for the floors and wall tile areas. It works. And use moisture resistant drywall, it helps to keep condensation out of the walls. Make sure your new bath fan exits to the exterior of the house, not the attic. And any tile supply house is actually a better place to get your materials. I actually spend less when I use the tile store than when I buy at the Box stores. Durarock last week at Lowes, $11 Tile America store $9 Always look around, and you get better answers from the pro stores. Good luck.
InspectorD is spot on with everything he has said. When you're talking about 1/2 inch cement board, you're looking at about $10 per 3'x5' sheet. In the big scheme of things, it's well worth it to do the job right. Spend a few extra dollars and do the job right.
K well then I am going to go pick up some sheets of Cement board for the surround. As for the floor, I am going to try this Greene Board, they gave pretty good ratings on it, and it is a thin cement board.Green E-Board : A green alternative for underlayment and backer board Not to mention it is Green friendly, Fireproof and at the time... cheaper than C-Board. I just have to be certain on the installation process. My wife and I are trying to remodel the whole house and not throw more than 2 Cu Yards of waste...call it a fun challenge for us.
I wouldn't use the green e-board. There is nothing environmentally un-friendly about plain ole cement board, it too is fireproof and isn't expensive. Use something tried and true. The thicker durock is better for floors in my opinion. Use it for the surround too. No drywall in wet areas, just the durock as inspectorD said.

ALL-AREA: Here are the new Pasadena All-Area dates
FOOTBALL: Hall of Fame game is not enjoying Fiesta
The annual Hall of Fame All-Star game, to be played at Bassett High School on June 27 is taking a hit from the second-year upstart Fiesta game.
Above: Muir's Willie Youngblood.
Among the defections to the game to be played at City Section school LA Wilson, are Muir's Willie Youngblood and possibly Arcadia's Kevan Walker. What has usually been a East San Gabriel Valley vs. West San Gabriel Valley has become more of an East vs. whoever's left. Considering legendary former Muir coach Jim Brownfield hepled start the Hall of Fame game, it's sad that Muir and Pasadena kids would rather play in a game that's only been around for two years. The other interesting twist is that one of the coaches of the other game is a San Gabriel assistant.
Last year's game at Bassett drew an overflow crowd and I expect the same this year.
What Fred wrote:
Where's the loyalty?
The Hall of Fame All-Star football game is on Friday, June 27 at Bassett High School. A night later, the second annual Fiesta Bowl is at L.A. Wilson High on June 28. Why did the Fiesta, knowing th date of the Hall of Fame, schedule their game a day later? And even worse, the Fiesta is watering down the Hall of Fame East roster with Star-News area kids normally in the Hall of Fame, and now it's become a tug-of-war, with Star-News kids forced to choose. It's come down to coaches recruiting against each other for the best players. I have no problem with the Fiesta Bowl, It's the City vs. Southern Section kids, and a great idea. But the Southern-Section kids are primarily Pasadena area-players, so that game should have been scheduled a week earlier, two weeks earlier, anything, so that they're not competing. It's a shame when I see Muir and PHS kids skipping the Hall of fame for the Fiesta, especially since it was Muir's legendary coach Jim Brownfield who practically put together the Hall of Fame and still has so much to do with it. I know he's disappointed, and this could have been avoided had players and coaches from the East side remembered how good the Hall of Fame had been to them. Or maybe it's simply that the Pasadena-area kids are tired of getting beat up by the Tribune-area kids. Maybe they've had enough. If anything, if these all-star games continue playing the same weekend in the future, new boundaries need to be created.

FOOTBALL: A new rivarly game
With the blessing of Freddie, here's what he posted over on the Tribune site.
This sounds like a great event and should be an outstanding contest.
Like the Bonita-San Dimas Smudge Pot, and the Muir-PHS Turkey Tussle, Monrovia and Duarte are putting together the First Annual, "MD Classic," on September 12. It's a great idea and long overdue for the neighboring schools. There will be a trophy for the winner to hold for a year, and an MVP award honoring the memory of Monrovia's Edward "Tuttie" White and Duarte's Brandon Lee. What makes it even more special is that players, coaches and members of the community from both schools will be invited to share a picnic BBQ a week earlier on Sept. 6 at Monrovia's Recreation Park, which hopefully brings the communities closer together. It's something that everyone should support.
"I think it's a big deal," Duarte football coach Wardell Crutchfield said. "When I came to Duarte, I didn't realize how big the rivalry was. I was at a game one time and heard a Monrovia kid say 'I don't care what happens, as long as we beat Duarte.' It's something that's long overdue, and having a BBQ together is great for the community, especially with all the stuff we've had going on. It's a win-win situation."

UPDATED: Tuesday, July 3, 2012 - 2:38pm
COLLEGE STATION -- After months of waiting Texas A&M is officially a member of the Southeastern Conference.
So today the university raised fourteen flags, to represent each school, in honor of the move and Lauren Holman was there to document it all.
It's being dubbed "Aggie Independence Day."
"It's a very new tradition for us," said Ryan Poehl.
Jeff Terrell added, "To be able to watch our team compete in the league of the elite it's just amazing. It's awesome."
As of Sunday, July 1, A&M is became one of newest member of the Southeastern Conference.
President R. Bowen Loftin tells us, "It feels good to finally be home and to have it all settled. They see this as a beginning to a new era."
A new era that kicked off today with a little help from the student athletes who raised 14 flags, representing each school in the conference.
Hundreds came out today to watch the flags being raised and even though it's a historic day in Aggieland, some fans are still apprehensive about the move to the SEC.
Bart Braden said, "I'm not convinced that this is going to be a good thing."
Good or bad one thing is for certain, today is a day of history in the making.
"We are ready here at Texas A&M to take our place," said President Loftin. "It is time truly for A&M."

Arizona Cardinals
Whisenhunt: Fair to say Patrick Peterson pressing of late
During his rookie season with the Cardinals in 2011, no player was more electrifying than Patrick Peterson.
Serving as both the team's top cornerback and punt returner, Peterson burst on to the NFL scene with a bang last season.
In 16 games, the former No. 5 pick tied the league record for most punt return touchdowns in a season with four. Each of his four touchdowns were for 80 yards or more, and two were of the game-winning variety -- including a franchise-record 99-yard return to beat the St. Louis Rams in overtime.
Fast forward to 2012, and it appears at the very least like Peterson is mired in a bit of a sophomore slump at least as it pertains to the return game.
In the final minutes of the Cardinals' 31-17 loss at Green Bay Sunday, Peterson muffed a punt inside the Arizona 5-yard line. The ball was recovered by Jarrett Bush, and the Packers subsequently ran out the clock.
It was his second muffed/fumbled punt of the game and fifth of the season.
While Peterson's late-game error didn't cause the Cardinals to lose their fifth straight game, his latest miscue is yet another sign that things aren't coming quite as easily for Arizona's special teams star during his second year.
"Patrick is a very driven, competitive athlete," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "He wants to be the best at everything he does. Is he pressing now? I'd say that's probably fair that he is. He's trying to make a play."
Whether Peterson's recent slip-ups are a product of trying to do too much or a result of poor reads on hang time remains to be seen, but the reality is in a game defined by field position, muffed/fumbled punts can prove costly.
"I'm sure every great punt returner in this league has dropped a punt or two in their time," said Whisenhunt. "And it's not so much that, it's what you do after that happens, understanding how important field position is and what we're trying to get done."
When Peterson has gotten his hands on the football this season his numbers are still dramatically down from his rookie campaign.
Peterson's average of 7.7 yards per return is currently good for only 18th best in the league among punt returners this season. Last season, however, Peterson was statistically the second best return man in the league -- 15.9 yards per return -- falling just behind perennial Pro Bowler Devin Hester.

Tourists heading to Israel hit an all-time high in the first quarter of 2012. From January through March, 637,200 tourists arrived in Israel, up 2% compared with the same period last year.
While part of the uptick is due to factors out of Israel's control, such as economic recovery, large numbers of tourists are being drawn by cultural and sporting events. That's especially the case during the summer, when Israel's festival season kicks off with hundreds of offerings for all tastes and interests. From the Galilee in the north to Eilat in the south, here are the Forward's top five picks for summer festivals:
Israeli Wine-Tasting Festival
Remember those childhood tales about the magic cup that never runs dry — and holds whatever beverage you most desire? Well, from July 30 to August 2, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem (www.imj.org.il) will make that myth a reality for grown-ups.
At the Israeli Wine-Tasting Festival, participants can pay 80 shekls, or about $20, for a glass at the entrance, and representatives of 55 Israeli wineries will keep it topped all night. Many wineries erect stalls and mock cellars for the event, where winemakers and connoisseurs chat about production methods.
Attendees are invited to relax in the museum gardens, which are normally closed at night, and even explore some museum exhibitions. There will be jazz bands, cheese tastings and stalls selling food from Jerusalem restaurants. Most of the wines, and all of the food, will be kosher.
"We find that increasingly, in recent years, the wineries bring their very best wines, which means that you can end up drinking $50 or $100 bottles," said Ran Toren, the festival organizer.
Toren, who owns three wine shops in Jerusalem, launched the festival with a friend in 2004. "It was [during] the Second Intifada, and we just wanted to do something enjoyable for the people of Jerusalem," he recalled. Today, the Israeli Wine-Tasting Festival is a major event on the calendar of kosher wine enthusiasts, attracting 15,000 people, some 30% of whom typically come from abroad.
International Klezmer Festival
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the International Klezmer Festival (www.klezmerf.com or for information, 011-972-4-6927509) fills the stone buildings and winding alleys of Safed with music in August. Safed, in the Galilee, is known as Israel's mystical town, making it a charming setting for klezmer. "With its beautiful streets and history of Kabbalah, Safed has a very special energy, and when it is brought to life with music, it takes on a really special atmosphere," said Chanan Bar-Sela, the festival's artistic director.
The festival will feature eight stages with different acts starting on the hour. At a "Klezmerim for Kids" stage, children can try klezmer instruments and watch demonstrations of unusual instruments. Youngsters can also enjoy a magic show, storytelling and plays. Adults can take part in workshops and music-themed tours. The finale of the festival will take place at Yad Vashem (www.yadvashem.org) in Jerusalem, where performers will pay tribute to the music and musicians lost in the Holocaust.

Hi. I'm Elizabeth Alston and I'm here to answer the questions that you sent to the Woman's Day Test Kitchen. Now Susan, who lives in Baltimore, Maryland asks, "What is the difference between all-purpose flour and cake flour? And can you use them interchangeably?" Well, here a two bowls of wheat grains that they look practically, exactly the same. And here is cake flour that's milled from soft wheat and here is all-purpose flour that's milled from a harder wheat. The difference doesn't really become apparent until you mix them with water and beat them. This is cake flour mixed with water and beaten for about 4 minutes and I treated this all-purpose flour exactly the same. And you can see, it's much more stretchy and this is the kind of dough that you need if you're gonna make a good bread. Although if you don't-- you can use all-purpose flour for bread but a baker would use a really, really what's called a strong flour with lots of gluten in it, because gluten is what makes a big difference between all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour has much less protein in it. Bread flour as I said before tends to have a lot in it, all-purpose flour kind of hits in the middle ground between the two. Now, here you can see the two cakes. This exactly the same recipe. This one is made with all-purpose flour and this batch was made with cake flour. And you can see the one with cake flour is higher and it also has kind of a finer crumb. Can you substitute one for the other? Now, if you have a recipe that calls for cake flour but you only have all-purpose flour in the house and you don't want to hit for the store. Here's what you do. Measure the amount of flour using all-purpose flour. And then for every cup of flour called for, take out 2 measuring tablespoons. Some people like to replace that 2 tablespoons with cornstarch but it's not necessary. Of course, it's not a good idea to just substitute cake flour for all purpose flour without using the recipes specially designed for it. Okay? Because you could end up with a disaster, but that's what to do if you recipe calls for cake flour and you only have all-purpose flour. Now you'll find the answer to these and lots of other cooking questions in the new Woman's Day Cookbook. You'll find the cookbook in bookstores or you can go to hfmbooks.com and purchase your copy of the new Woman's Day Cookbook.

Trade Preference Programs Imports of certain Haitian manufactured textile and apparel goods are eligible for duty-free treatment under the Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA). Additional benefits under CBTPA have been added through the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement Act of 2006 (HOPE), the Food Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (HOPE II) and the Haiti Economic Lift Program of 2010 (HELP).For Haitian Textiles And Apparel CBTPA and HOPE established unlimited duty-free treatment for various apparel products, with certain restrictions regarding the source of the yarns and fabrics used in the apparel, and duty-free treatment for certain apparel up to certain annual quotas, known as tariff preference levels (TPLs). HOPE II and HELP expand these existing preference programs by allowing additional textile and apparel articles to qualify for duty-free treatment, as well as increasing some of the TPLs. The legislation for each program outlines the requirements and restrictions for duty-free treatment, which are enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). While OTEXA can provide general advice and guidance on the trade preferences available to importers (see "FAQs"), CBP is the final arbiter on whether imports of Haitian textiles and apparel qualify for duty-free treatment. While CBP enforces the TPLs, OTEXA does publish trade data and fill rates for each TPL, as well as general import data for Haitian textile and apparel products. OTEXA also administers the Earned Import Allowance Program (EIAP), which was established in 2008 under HOPE II and later modified in 2010 by HELP. Haiti Trade Preference Programs: Frequently Asked Questions Notification of Annual Quantitative Limit for Certain Apparel under Haiti HOPE (Value-Added Quota) for 2014/2015 Annual Period. For the period December 20, 2014 through December 19, 2015, the annual quantitative limit of the Haiti HOPE Value-Added program is 332,915,916 square meter equivalents. GAO Report for 2012: "Follow-up on the Haiti Earned Import Allowance Program" (GAO-13-219R) In compliance with its mandate under Haiti HOPE II, the GAO has issued its most recent report on the usage and effectiveness of the Haiti Earned Import Allowance during the 2011/2012 period.
Relevant Legislative Texts of CBTPA, HOPE, HOPE II and HELP: CBTPA (2000): CBTPA Legislation: Public Law 106-200 CBP Summary of CBTPA trade preferences for Textiles and Apparel HOPE (2006): HOPE Legislation: CBP Summary of HOPE trade preferences (TBT-07-006) HOPE II (2008): HOPE II Legislation CBP Summary of HOPE II trade preferences (TBT-08-013) HELP (2010): Earned Import Allowance Program The Earned Import Allowance Program (EIAP) provides duty-free entry for certain apparel from Haiti into the United States. For every two or three (depending on the date of the inquiry) square meter equivalents (SME) of qualifying fabric, one SME may enter the U.S. duty-free using third party yarn and fabric. Currently, OTEXA's Interim Procedures for the EIAP reflect the original program under HOPE II, with a "3 for 1" allowance. However, on May 24, 2010, HELP modified the EIAP by allowing one SME to enter duty-free for every two SMEs of qualifying fabric. OTEXA's forthcoming final procedures for the EIAP will reflect this modification. Qualifying producers and their designated proxies can only access the EIAP through OTEXA's online system. The online system allows qualifying producers to request a new account, submit a request for a deposit into an existing account, redeem credits for import certificates, and review account balances and activity.

Stories of Victory :: Many Come to Proclaim Their Faith – Through Baptism
April 6th, 2012 by admin
Are you ready to make that next step in your walk with Christ? Then join us for our Baptism Service, Saturday, May 5th. Check victoryatl.com for more information. Last year, we ventured onto our first Mass Baptism Service at Victory…
May 1st the parking lot near the cross had been transformed into a baptismal arena. Five large pools blanketed the asphalt below the platform stage constructed for this life changing event. Changing tents outlined the sidewalks leading to the cross, accompanied by large barrels of water on this hot pre-summer day. If you were unaware, one would have thought there was a pool party or concert about to transpire.
Hundreds pre-registered to fulfill their proclamation to Christ. There were many who decided at the spur of the moment as they were led by the Spirit. The registration tent abounded with adults and children of all ages; lines went out and around the dry changing tents and continued to arise. Several times the lines extended the length of the parking lot between the registration tent and the swimming pools. Tee shirts and towels were available for anyone who needed one.
Pastor Dennis opened up with a brief prayer as the Victory band played softly. The men of the church really came out in great numbers to assist in this massive baptism as lines formed on each side, one waiting to and the other registering to be baptized. The lines were continuously growing, one for the younger children and one for the adults. Both lines went as far back as the changing tents and throughout the lines you heard everyone explaining what led them to be baptized today. This baptism was simply amazing to witness.
The VicKids teachers were on hand to baptize the children which made them feel comfortable because they approached their pools with boldness. Everyone enteredtheawaiting waters with a look of certainty covering their faces.
One after the other emerged wiping water from their smiling faces as the crowd cheered. Shouts of joy were heard as families were baptized together. It was moving to witness mothers and sons and mothers and daughters being baptized together. As the men assisted an elderly women and a young lady with crutches so they too could be baptized, the crowd clapped and cheered with great joy. No one was exempt; accommodations were made for anyone who desired to be baptized.
After being baptized, many were embraced and congratulated by those present to witness this awesome event.Those who desired to change or dry off did so in the wetchanging tents; which was set up like a huge dressing room. Victory wet towels went into one bin as bags were distributed to each individual for their wet clothes. Upon exiting the tents, volunteers handed out literature and briefly talked to those desiring to know what the next steps were going forward.
This massive baptismal was magnificent and an emotional testimony for all who participated.
Hey, what's God done in YOUR life as a part of Victory World Church? Please tell us about it. There are so many others who need to be encouraged in their faith by your story. Please, click this link to Share Your Story today!

Hawaii 954
A bona fide "hukilau," Tiki Kiliki says, is a Hawaiian fishing festival. Villagers come together, cast broad nets, and haul forth whatever feast the ocean sees fit to provide. It's not straining a metaphor to describe Fort Lauderdale's own Hukilau, now in its fifth year, as something akin to that oceanic sieve. As Kiliki (government name: Christie White), the organizer and co-founder of the blowout, tries to name the fishes in her sea, she gets as far as lounge lizards, surfers, punks, swing kids, rockabilly hipsters, and hapa haole Hawaii-heads. "Tiki," she explains, "is a medley of all these groups. The common factor between everybody is this nostalgia niche."
Segregation, Sputnik, homeroom duck-and-cover, polio postwar America was the complete package. But it was also when TV hit upon rock 'n' roll, big-band jazz matured, and Bob Moog started making synthesizers synonymous with outer space. GIs returning from the South Pacific brought a taste for steel guitar sunsets, helping the nuclear-family '50s develop an aesthetic beyond the fear of getting nuked. The tiki style today is at least as much cultural heritage as it is kitsch.
The musical mishmash includes a performance by APE, a Polynesia-and-surf inspired California rock quintet that employs an ax-wielding tiki carver, Crazy Al, who carves on-stage during the shows. Florida groups Wholly Cats!!! and the Intoxicators bring swing and surf rock. A bright-eyed Italian band called I Belli Di Waikiki busts out some of your favorite Hawaiian ukulele classics before going all mariachi as Los Terribles de Tijuana. Look for Seattle DJ Selector Lopaka to revive old styles Brazilian, lounge, exotica that seem to come back every five years or so.
The headliner, APE, plays Friday night at the Bahia Mar with legendary, 91-year-old steel guitarist Billy Mure. When their former surf band, the Swamis, was breaking up, bassist Lane Murchison tried to cheer guitar/ukulele player Eric Rindal by buying him some old LPs from a thrift store, choosing by album cover alone. Among them was one of Mure's "Supersonic Guitars" records, which inspired Rindal to expand his surf repertoire into exotica, rockabilly, and jazz, and to form APE in 1998. "For us," Rindal says of playing with Mure, "this is a very full-circle experience." Today APE is possibly the world's only band to feature an artist, in this case Crazy Al, who with a hatchet, mallet and chisel carves a tiki head from a raw log, working in time with the beat as the musicians play. (Al's greeting, incidentally, when he replies to an e-mail: "ALoooooooooHA!!")
"I don't think people 50 years ago realized they were starting something," Kiliki says. "They were just having fun. Now it's sort of like you're stepping back into that time, when things were taboo and stylized." She's driving and talking on her cell phone (so futuristic!) as she tries to explain who digs on this retro scene. Then she pauses. "I'm passing a '57 Bel Air right now," she says, "and it's beautiful." Sam Eifling

About Us Eagles Nest Massage Therapy was formally known as Eagles Nest Institute, which was established in 1990 and was located on the corner of the Arnold and West Tischer Rd., near the Woodland neighborhood of Duluth. At that time it occupied an old country church that had been renovated. Eagles Nest Institute offered massage therapy and massage therapy education as well as many classes in other holistic practices such as yoga, meditation, and tai chi. In 1998 the massage therapy course curriculum was sold to Lake Superior College. The massage clinic moved to the Medical Arts Bldg., Downtown, Duluth and at that time the name was changed to Eagles Nest Massage Therapy. In March of 2001 a second office was opened in the Miller Hill Dental Bldg. located on the Sundby Rd. in the Miller Hill area of Duluth. As of April, 2004 our downtown location closed and combined with our Miller Hill office thus allowing to focus our energy in one great setting.

Does anyone know how many skeins is needed for this project? 22 skeins? What size skeins?
Where it says "work from to as given" and you follow the instructions where it says "click the link where it says Click here for diagram. It will give you the directions from Bernat." This link goes nowhere except to an ad. Could someone please give more explicit, concise directions on how to do the side panels?? Thank you.
I love this pattern, crocheting bags are one of my favorite projects. I'm going to try this one after xmas.
to find out what "work from to as given" means, click the link where it says Click here for diagram. It will give you the directions from Bernat.
Helpful notes on this pattern, it appears that some words were left out of the directions for the sides. When it says "work from to" I am pretty sure it should say, "work from row 1 to row 2 as for front/back." The bag is 12" wide and 12" deep so the sides and front/back are the same size, only difference is the sides have the handles worked into them, so you would chain 41 as you did for front/back. The abbreviations are all standard so if you need help you could look them up in any crochet book. sc=single crochet, sl st= slip stitch, tog=together, rs=right side, ws= wrong side. Some one asked it this could be converted to a knitting pattern, I don't think it would be suitable for knitting because there would be to much stretch. Hope this helps.
Beautiful bag, but there is no way to follow these directions. What on earth does "Work from to as given" mean?
crafter 9461532: most patterns will tell you what the "jargon" is, like someone asked what rs means, which means "right side" meaning when you crochet, the side that is facing you is the right sight, when you turn it over and the crochet patterns seems to be going the other way, that is the "ws", or wrong side. pick up a beginners book on crocheting and in there it will tell you all the abbreviations.
I want this to be my summer project. This is a great tote bag, can't wait to get started!!!

Plant grow or "agro" lamps are designed to maximize output in the areas of the spectrum most conducive to plant growth. They come in a variety of wattages, sizes, and finishes.
Plant grow lamps work by using phosphors and filtering agents in the glass enclosure to increase output in the areas of the spectrum most effective at encouraging plant growth. Plant grow lamps can be incandescent, fluorescent, HID, or LED. There are even more specific breakdowns within these lamp types which are designed to produce light for specific plants and/or specific stages of growth. Generally speaking, these lamps are designed to emulate daylight for the benefit of plants that are being grown indoors.
Plant grow lamps are ideal for usage in areas being utilized to grow plants indoors, usually when sunlight is lacking, to supplement natural sunlight, or when it is desirable to usurp the natural cycle of sunglight in order to manipulate plant growth.
That's why we make the process as easy as possible and pledge to never leave you in the dark when it comes to buying replacement bulbs and lighting accessories.

The Eastern State Penitentiary (ESP[4]) is a former American prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is located on 2027 Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian Avenue and North 22nd Street in the Fairmount section of Philadelphia and was operational from 1829 until 1971. The penitentiary refined the revolutionary system of separate incarceration first pioneered at the Walnut Street Jail which emphasized principles of reform rather than punishment.[5] Notorious criminals such as bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone were held inside its unique wagon wheel design. When the building was erected it was the largest and most expensive public structure ever constructed, quickly becoming a model for more than 300 prisons worldwide.
The prison is currently a U.S. National Historic Landmark,[3] which is open to the public as a museum for tours seven days a week, twelve months a year 10 am to 5 pm.
Contents |
Designed by John Haviland and opened on October 25, 1829, Eastern State is considered to be the world's first true penitentiary, despite the fact that the Walnut Street Jail, which opened in 1776, was called a "penitentiary" as early as 1790 . The word "penitentiary" derives from the word "penitence." Eastern State's revolutionary system of incarceration, dubbed the "Pennsylvania System" or Separate system, encouraged separate confinement (the warden was legally required to visit every inmate every day, and the overseers were mandated to see each inmate three times a day) as a form of rehabilitation.
The Pennsylvania System was opposed contemporaneously by the Auburn System (also known as the New York System), which held that prisoners should be forced to work together in silence, and could be subjected to physical punishment (Sing Sing prison was an example of the Auburn system). Although the Auburn system was favored in the United States, Eastern State's radial floor plan and system of solitary confinement was the model for over 300 prisons worldwide.
Originally, inmates were housed in cells that could only be accessed by entering through a small exercise yard attached to the back of the prison; only a small portal, just large enough to pass meals, opened onto the cell blocks. This design proved impractical, and in the middle of construction, cells were constructed that allowed prisoners to enter and leave the cell blocks through metal doors that were covered by a heavy wooden door to filter out noise. The halls were designed to have the feel of a church. Some believe that the doors were small so prisoners would have a harder time getting out, minimizing an attack on a security guard. Others have explained the small doors forced the prisoners to bow while entering their cell. This design is related to penance and ties to the religious inspiration of the prison. The cells were made of concrete with a single glass skylight, representing the "Eye of God", hinting to the prisoners that God was always watching them. Outside the cell, there was an individual area for exercise, enclosed by high walls so prisoners couldn't communicate. Each exercise time for each prisoner was synchronized so no two prisoners next to each other would be out at the same time. Prisoners were allowed to garden and even keep pets in their exercise yards. When prisoners left the cell, a guard would accompany them and wrap a hood over their heads to prevent them from being recognized by other prisoners.[6]
Each cell had accommodations that were advanced for their time, which included a faucet with running water over a flush toilet, as well as curved pipes along part of one wall which served as central heating during the winter months where hot water would be run through the pipes to keep the cells reasonably heated. The toilets were remotely flushed twice a week by the guards of the cellblock.
The original design of the building was for seven one-story cell blocks, but by the time cell block three was completed, the prison was already over capacity. From then on, all the other cell blocks were two floors. Toward the end, cell blocks 14 and 15 were hastily built due to overcrowding. They were built and designed by prisoners. Cell block 15 was for the worst behaved prisoners, and the guards were gated off from there entirely.
The system eventually collapsed due to overcrowding problems. By 1913, Eastern State officially abandoned the solitary system and operated as a congregate prison until it closed in 1970 (Eastern State was briefly used to house city inmates in 1971 after a riot at Holmesburg Prison).
The prison was one of the largest public-works projects of the early republic, and was a tourist destination in the 19th century. Notable visitors included Charles Dickens and Alexis de Tocqueville while notable inmates included Willie Sutton and Al Capone in 1929. Visitors spoke with prisoners in their cells, proving that inmates were not isolated, though the prisoners themselves were not allowed to have any visits with family or friends during their stay. Most of the prisoners during the early years of the Penitentiary were common petty criminals incarcerated for various robbery and theft charges (muggers, pickpockets, purse-snatchers, burglars, etc.) and the first-time offenders often served two years.
The Penitentiary was intended not simply to punish, but to move the criminal toward spiritual reflection and change. While some have argued that the Pennsylvania System was Quaker-inspired, there is little evidence to support this; the organization that promoted Eastern State's creation, the Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons (today's Pennsylvania Prison Society) was in fact less than half Quaker, and was led for nearly fifty years by Philadelphia's Anglican bishop, William White. Proponents of the system believed strongly that the criminals, exposed, in silence, to thoughts of their behavior and the ugliness of their crimes, would become genuinely penitent. In reality, the guards and councilors of the facility designed a variety of physical and psychological torture regimens for various infractions, including dousing prisoners in freezing water outside during winter months, chaining their tongues to their wrists in a fashion such that struggling against the chains could cause the tongue to tear, strapping prisoners into chairs with tight leather restraints for days on end, and putting the worst behaved prisoners into a pit called "The Hole", an underground cellblock dug under cellblock 14 where they would have no light, no human contact, and little food for as long as two weeks.
In 1924, Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot allegedly sentenced Pep "The Cat-Murdering Dog" (an actual dog) to a life sentence at Eastern State. Pep allegedly murdered the governor's wife's cherished cat. Prison records reflect that Pep was assigned an inmate number (no. C2559), which is seen in his mug shot. However, the reason for Pep's incarceration remains a subject of some debate. A newspaper article reported that the governor donated his own dog to the prison to increase inmate morale.[1]
On April 3, 1945, a major prison escape was carried out by twelve inmates (including the infamous Willie Sutton) who over the course of a year managed to dig an undiscovered 97-foot (30 m) tunnel under the prison wall to freedom. During renovations in the 1930s an additional 30 incomplete inmate-dug tunnels were also discovered.
It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.[3][7]
The prison was closed and abandoned in 1971. Many prisoners and guards were transferred to Graterford Prison, about 31 miles (50 km) northwest of Eastern State. The City of Philadelphia purchased the property with the intention of redeveloping it. The site had several proposals, including a mall, and a luxury apartment complex surrounded by the old prison walls
During the abandoned era (from closing until the late 80s) a "forest" grew in the cell blocks and outside within the walls. The prison also became home to many stray cats.
In 1988, the Eastern State Penitentiary Task Force successfully petitioned Mayor Wilson Goode to halt redevelopment. In 1994, Eastern State opened to the public for historic tours.
When the Eastern State Penitentiary, or Cherry Hill as it was known at the time, was erected in 1829 (the idea of this new prison was created in a meeting held at Benjamin Franklin's house in 1787) it was the largest and most expensive public structure in the country.[8] Its architectural significance first arose in 1821, when British architect John Haviland was chosen to design the building. Haviland found most of his inspiration for his plan for the penitentiary from prisons and asylums built beginning in the 1780s in England and Ireland. These complexes consist of cell wings radiating in a semi or full circle array from a center tower from where the prison could be kept under constant surveillance. The design for the penitentiary which Haviland devised became known as the hub-and-spoke plan which consisted of an octagonal center connected by corridors to seven radiating single-story cell blocks, each containing two ranges of large single cells—8 x 12 feet x 10 feet high- with hot water heating, a water tap, toilet, and individual exercise yards the same width as the cell.[8] There were rectangular openings in the cell wall through which food and work materials could be passed to the prisoner, as well as peepholes for guards to observe prisoners without being seen. To minimize the opportunities for communication between inmates Haviland designed a basic flush toilet for each cell with individual pipes leading to a central sewer which he hoped would prevent the sending of messages between adjacent cells.[8] Despite his efforts, prisoners were still able to communicate with each other and the flushing system had to be redesigned several times. Haviland remarked that he chose the design to promote "watching, convenience, economy, and ventilation".[9] Once construction of the prison was completed in 1836, it could house 450 prisoners.[10]
John Haviland completed the architecture of the Eastern state penitentiary in 1836. Each cell was lit only by a single lighting source from either skylights or windows, was considered the "window of God" or "Eye of God". The church viewed imprisonment, usually in isolation, as an instrument that would modify sinful or disruptive behavior. The time spent in prison will help inmates reflect on their crimes committed giving them the mission for redemption. Gothic churches and cathedrals were mainly built in Europe, France and England in the 13th through the 17th centuries. The structure was not only built in a Gothic style to intimidate wrongdoers, but to remind the free citizens what might befall on them should they break the law.
The Eastern State Penitentiary operates as a museum and historic site, open year-round. Guided tours are offered during the winter, and during the warmer months, self-guided tours are also available (narrated mainly by Steve Buscemi, with former guards, wardens and prisoners also contributing). In addition, it holds many special events throughout the year. Each July, there is a Bastille Day celebration, complete with a comedic reinterpretation of the storming of the Bastille and the tossing of thousands of Tastykakes from the towers,[11] accompanied by a cry of "let them eat Tastykake!" from an actress portraying Marie Antoinette.
The facility has been kept in "preserved ruin", meaning no significant attempts have been made at renovations or restoration.
Due to its ominous appearance, gloomy atmosphere, and long history, Eastern State has been used as a location for television programs and films about hauntings. Paranormal TV shows like Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, and MTV's Fear explored the paranormal at Eastern State. Eastern State was also used in a episode of Cold Case titled "The House" which dealt with a murder after an inmate escape. For the show, the prison was renamed Northern State Penitentiary. On June 1, 2007, Most Haunted Live! conducted and broadcast a paranormal investigation live (for the first time in the United States) from Eastern State Penitentiary for an unprecedented seven continuous hours hoping to come in contact with supernatural beings. Punk group the Dead Milkmen also filmed the music video for their song "Punk Rock Girl" in Eastern State. In the PlayStation 2 game, The Suffering, players can find a video documentary of Eastern State Penitentary, one of the inspirations for the game.
Eastern State has also served as a location in several feature films. Terry Gilliam's 1995 film Twelve Monkeys used it as the setting for a mental hospital. The 2000 film Animal Factory, directed by Steve Buscemi relied heavily on Eastern State in its portrayal of a prison in a state of advancing decay. In June 2008, Paramount Pictures used parts of Eastern State Penitentiary for the filming of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
In 1996 and 2000, the World Monuments Fund included Eastern State Penitentiary on its World Monuments Watch, its biennial list of the "Most Endangered" cultural heritage sites.
In September 2008 the History Press released Eastern State Penitentiary: A History, the only comprehensive history book currently in print about Eastern State. It was written by a former tour guide with the assistance of the site's education director, and has a forward written by the penitentiary's former social worker.
"Terror Behind the Walls" is an annual Haunted House Halloween event run by the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Inc. (ESPHS). The first Halloween fundraiser took place on Halloween weekend in 1991.[12] The early events took various forms, including short theatrical performances and true tales of prison murder and violence.[12] In 1995, the event was rebranded as "Terror Behind the Walls", becoming a high startle, low gore walkthrough haunted attraction.[12][13] In 2001, it was broken up into three separate, smaller haunted attractions, including a 3-D haunted house. At the time, it was the only 3-D haunted house in Southeastern Pennsylvania and one of the first in the United States.[citation needed] In 2003, four semi-permanent haunted attractions were constructed inside the penitentiary complex.[12]
Due to Eastern State Penitentiary being a stabilized ruin all early visitors had to wear a hard hat while on the property. In 2000, stabilization efforts eliminated the need for visitors to wear hardhats (although they were still necessary for day time tours until 2003).[12] As it is also a National Historic Landmark no aspects of the construction may damage or permanently alter the physical fabric of the building.[12] The proceeds from "Terror Behind the Walls" are used to preserve the Eastern State Penitentiary and it is the largest source of revenue for the site.[12] Many people believe Eastern State Penitentiary is actually haunted with records showing that, in the early 1940s, inmates and officers reported supernatural phenomena. Since Eastern State was abandoned in 1971, the number of reported ghost sightings has increased.[14] The Atlantic Paranormal Society, released footage of what they claim to be a ghost.[15]
Prior to its closing in late 1969, Eastern State Penitentiary (then known as State Correctional Institution, Philadelphia) had established a far reaching program of group therapy with the goal of having all inmates involved. From 1967, when the plan was initiated, the program appears to have been moderately successful as many inmates were involved in the groups which were voluntary. An interesting aspect was that the groups were led by two therapists, one from the psych or social work staff, and the second from the prison officer staff.[16]

Crow Creek Mine - This gold hunting area is located about an hour from Anchorage, Alaska. Here, you have the option of gold panning, metal detecting for gold, or gold dredging. The fees vary based on what activity you prefer. For gold panning or sluicing, daily fees run $15 per person. Those with metal detectors have to pay just a tad more at $20 a day. This gold hunting operation is very friendly to first-timers. If you don't have your own gear, basic gold hunting equipment is available on site.
Arkansas Quartz Crystal Mine - Located in the Ouachita Mountains just north of Mt. Ida, this fee mining locale offers digging at $20 a day. It's best to call in advance to make digging reservations.
Himalaya Tourmaline Mine - San Diego County, California. Offers fee digs for $75 a day per person.
The Oceanview Mine - In the World Renowned Pala Gem Mining District.
Phoenix Gold Mine - This gold hunting facility is located in Idaho Springs, Colorado. For a very reasonable rate of $10 a person for adults and $5 each for children 11 and under, you can get a tour of the mine and pan for gold. They are open year around, only closing because of weather conditions.
Hogg Mine - Lagrange, Georgia. Check out their web site for information on upcoming digs.
Emerald Creek Garnet Area - Just south of St. Maries, Idaho. Here you can dig for rare star garnets, the state gemstone for Idaho. A digging permit costs $10 and that allows you to take away 5 lbs. of garnets. If you find more than that, you can purchase another permit per every 5 pounds. However, each person is limited to 30 pounds of garnets a year. There are limits on the number of people allowed to dig daily so you may want to call ahead to find out more about the best times to visit.
Western Maine Mineral Adventures - Located in Woodstock, Maine, this appears to be another location where you can purchase various types of containers of mineral ore to sift through in search of gems. There's a student/scout rate of $25, and the miner's rate ranges from $50 to $500. If you live in the area and have children, this might make for an educational field trip.
Gem Mountain Sapphire - Philipsburg, Montana is the home of this sapphire mine. You can visit the locale and take a look around for free. If you want to try your hand at finding sapphires yourself, you can purchase gravel buckets to wash and dig through. Prices start at $14 a bucket, but there are some discounts available if you purchase multiple buckets. In addition, if you are unable to get to Gem Mountain, you can buy various sizes of gravel containers and have them shipped to your home. They have been salted, so they're guaranteed to have something in every container.
Rainbow Ridge Opal Mine - Located in northwest Nevada about 35 miles from Denio, Nevada.
Royal Peacock Opal Mines - Near Denio, Nevada. Bank digging is $180 per day per person or you can dig in the mine dump/tailings area for $75 per day.
Royal Rainbow Opal Mine - Unlike the other opal mines that are located in Virgin Valley, the Royal Rainbow Opal Mine sits in the Black Rock Desert near Gerlach, Nevada. Prices range from $10-$25 a person a day to mine on virgin ground. Opals are not the only thing you'll find here - there's also some great obsidian, jasper, agate, and tons of other mineral specimens.
Royston Turquoise Mine - The Royston Mining District is located near Tonopah Nevada. Here, you can arrange for a tour of the turquoise mining operation and pay a fee to dig through the tailings pile to look for some turquoise of your own. You do need a reservation, so be sure to contact the mine well ahead of time.
North Carolina
Emerald Hollow Mine - This treasure hunting paradise is located in Hiddenite, NC. The Emerald Hollow Mine offers several methods of gem hunting: sluicing, creek digging, and mine digging.
Gem Mountain Gemstone Mine - Spruce Mine, NC is the home of this operation that offers both flume mining and tours of the Brushy Creek Aquamarine Mine.
Spruce Pine Gemstone Mine - Located in Spruce Pine, NC. This doesn't really seem to be a fee digging place, but they do offer sales of containers of mine ore that you can sift through in a comfortable setting all year around. This might be a great place for a novice to go to learn more about what to look for when gem hunting.
Dust Devil Mining - Located near Plush, Oregon, this sunstone mine bases its fee-digging rates on what you find. After you complete your digging, they will evaluate what you found and then charge you very discounted rates for the high-grade material. You are not under any obligation to buy, and there are a lot of things that are not charged for at all.
Juniper Ridge Opal - This opal mine in Southern Oregon is more for serious fee-diggers. While some other sites offer tailing diggings or gravel in buckets, you'll be digging in an actual raw matrix at this mine. Because of this rates are higher, starting at $200/day. If you find more than a one-gallon bucket full that you want to keep, there will be additional fees. Although this is more expensive, it also gives you the best chance to make a real treasure find. If you are interested in this, be sure to check out the web site. Space is limited and you should book in advance with the mine owners.
Spectrum Sunstone Mines - This sunstone mine is a privately owned mining claim on the Nevada border located about 27 miles northeast of Plush, Oregon. They have free digging in certain places from May 10 - November 1. They also offer higher-grade digging.
