Best Organic Farm (2005)
The Last Organic Outpost
Under a green canopy of trees, a stream meanders by a series of raised beds boasting a variety of leafy greens. Through the narrow aisles, volunteers' sandals and work boots pad along. The stream feeding the Local Organic Outpost is one of the last that flows over mud and clay rather than city-engineered concrete channels. It feels a thousand miles from nowhere, or at least a thousand miles from the wild pace of Houston traffic, but this urban gardening adventure is just a hop from both downtown and Interstate 10. Launched in 2001 by Joe Nelson Icet, the garden is fueling the boom in organic farmers' markets and health-minded Houston restaurants. It's also a resource for the organic minorities of Fat City, USA. Here is our town's true counterculture. Like the kale, it is vibrant and growing.

The hotel was very nice, the staff was very kind,efficient, the room had a perfect size for a couple, very clean and confortable.I realy enjoied it.
We just completed a 3 night stay at The Betsy and fell in love with Miami Beach and The Betsy Hotel. Everything about The Betsy was exceptional!! It is in a perfect location to enjoy the vibe of South Beach - but just step inside or on the rooftop patio or porches to relax and enjoy the great ambience created with the art deco renovations. The entire staff was ever attentive and friendly- a special nod to Anthony on wait staff, Robert and Jonathan- bell hops who were always friendly and attentive and Ryan our afternoon bartender who greeted us every day when we returned. Can't say enough good things about our stay at The Betsy! We can't wait to return
The Betsy is a boutique hotel, sporting beautiful wooden floors, white shutters and airy rooms all graced by a friendly, approachable and knowledgeable staff. Stayed here for 4 days in mid-May and am already hoping to go back soon! The BLT Steakhouse is a must-visit for dinner - the steaks are perfectly done (don't be fooled by the charring on the outside - it seals all the flavour in) and their sides are delicious and not your standard-issue steakhouse extras (think jalapeno mashed potatoes, BBQ corn). We got upgraded to a suite (thanks again, Kayla) and the stay only improved from then, with Robert not only bringing up our bags, but giving us a great rundown when he learnt it was our 1st trip to South Beach. Bartenders also lent to the cool vibe with great cocktails (again not standard-issue). Can't say enough as well about the location, on Ocean Drive, less than a minute's walk from the beach, great restaurants, bars, shopping on Lincoln Road, but still affords a relaxing ambiance from the time you hit the pavement outside the hotel. Worth every penny!
My girlfriend and I stayed 2 nights for a girl's wknd. Lobby area is gorgeous! Drinks are very pricey... $15 on avg but that's standard for South Beach.Rooms are small.Rooftop is cute - wld be even better if there was a pool at the rooftop.Pool in courtyard gets no use really since there is no sun.Beach access is fabulous! Beach chairs and an umbrella each day incl per the resort fee.Location is at the very beginning of Ocean which I loved because it was quiet and away fr all of the noisy action further down ocean.BLT which is located in the hotel serves great lunch. I highly recommend the lobster Cobb style salad! Pay attention to your checks as the gratuity is often automatically added in.Overall a great experience...
Just returned from a 5 night stay at The Betsy. We are a couple in our 40's and we found The Betsy to be almost perfect.....the rooms are beautiful, we had the master suite with a separate living room which we found nice and roomy. The decor was lovely as was the pool and roof top patio. Food at The Betsy is fabulous - Asian salad was to die for. As other's have noted the garbage truck's are a real issue - we had room 314 - and every morning, Saturday and Sunday included, the trucks arrived right under our window at 7:30 am. Yes it woke us up, and the first morning the trucked idled for an hour!!!!!We are lazy in that we didn't asked to be moved, but the last day I asked the front desk about it ( the noise) and they are very aware of the issue, but there is little they can do about it. The quiet rooms, I'm am told, were the ones facing the pool.Overall, I loved The Betsy, I wish it was in a quieter area, but it has so much going for it. We almost booked Setai, however we were happy with the location of The Betsy, the food, and the staff. Everyone was so nice. A big shout out to Robert and Joe and the front desk people......very welcoming. I would just warn anyone who needs to sleep on a vacation to be aware of the noise issue ....booked carefully.
I've only visited Miami once but the Betsy set the bar pretty high for any future visits. The property is beautiful and fully takes advantage of the real estate that it has (as most hotels in Miami Beach, specifically South Beach along Ocean View Drive have relatively smaller spaces compared to mega resorts found elsewhere). Service was incredible, from doormen (including the super gracious and helpful Robert, who is mentioned in other reviews on TA) to front desk (bumped us from tiny pool-side Classic room to corner Royal suite) to management (Ed - very friendly guy who took the time to meet us and offer us breakfast "on the house" on our last day of stay). Room and decor was clean and very well done - you will not be disappointed with the huge marble bathroom, the electronic mirror w/ embedded TV, walk-in closet, dark hardwood floors, ultra-comfortable king-size bed, and more . Rooftop lounge/bar offers a refreshing oasis to relax and have a drink above the noise and bustle that comes with Ocean View Drive each night. Fitness center (really, a room but comfortable to be in with one or two other guests) features modern equipment that I actually haven't found in other more-contemporary properties. BLT Steak is comparatively-priced and while we didn't eat dinner there, I'm sure it's well worth it (and provides great people-watching). If you go, don't forget to take advantage of the partnership with Boucher Brothers on the beach which provides beach chairs and umbrella, which are a must if you're going to spend any time out there! My wife has previously stayed at the Loewe's up the street and was blown away by the Betsy. Definitely would recommend to anyone else, and will definitely consider staying here again.
I must admit, we did not STAY here. What I mean is, we were in Miami and YES we were IN The Betsy Hotel and walked the beach there, but we didn't rest our heads in a room. We specifically went in to meet ROBERT the DOORMAN, whom we had read all about on tripadvisor. I swear!He was ALL that you could imagine. Charming, delightful, informational and more importantly took time out to give us some brief history on the hotel AND gave us a tour... including the roof deck where he snapped our photo even!I would stay there just to see his smiling face!

Friday 8:00 PM on CBSIn Season
Discussion of episode 9.
Spoilers are allowed for this and previous episodes ONLY.
For some reason the producers seem incapable of developing a proper leg in Switzerland - just like TAR22 we get no Detour, although at least this time we didn't get a million trains that left the whole leg redundant, so it was better than that travesty.
Really hated the Country Singers this leg - that alliance is despicable. They are all such brats.
Can't believe I'm saying this bt the Cowboys are actually moving up my list - at least they aren't a part of this shambolic alliance.
Hoping Brendon & Rachel can kill them all though.
The leg being a NEl was lucky for the girls, but it should be A NEL considering we had no Detour. It would've been a rather stupid way to eliminate someone for basically one significant task.
Also could somebody please teach Dave & Connor how to pronounce the term 'gondola', gosh.
This season is being ruined by the nel's..
too many, too soon..
if we have a 4 team final leg
then we have a 'two parter' double length leg coming.
i'll agree with most of you this was an ok leg spoiled by no detour and stupid alliances..
While NEL saved singers' asses, I could have lived with them gone, that's how I wanted any team from this despicable 'alliance' gone. If not for the lack of Detour, I totally liked this leg. Hotel task was quite detail oriented and enjoyable, and I really laughed when one of the brothers said 'I hope my wife doesn't see me do this, so she would not learn I can clean' or something along the lines. HA! When it comes to a chance to win it all Everyone can clean Even that promotional Mustang challenge was quite good, and milk Roadblock was awesome.
Though I must say that I'm not happy with Dave and Connor coming on top. I give you, they're a strong team, but their anger at Brenchel for using U-turn, and holding grudge all this long is fast growing old and makes them in my own opinion unbearable
LOVE: Cowboys, BrenchelLIKE: n/aNEUTRAL: Caroline/JenniferDISLIKE: Leo/Jammal, Dave/Connor (so so UNCOOL)HATE: n/a

PLATTEKILL — A Plattekill woman has been charged with five misdemeanor of animal abuse in connection with the discovery of five malnourished horses at a farm in Hamptonburgh.
New York State Police arrested Constance Dirago, 58, following a two-month investigation. She was charged under the state's Agriculture and Markets law with five counts of failure to provide proper sustenance for animals.
The five horses, which police said needed immediate medical attention, were placed at a horse rescue farm in Orange County.
The investigation also resulted in the voluntary re-location of 28 horses and ponies that had been under the care of Dirago.
The Orange County S.P.C.A. and Orange County District Attorney's Office also participated in the investigation.
Dirago was issued an appearance ticket for a later court appearance in Hamptonburgh.

How will I handle being a single teenage mom?

I am scared since i have put off college for a year since i am due in Sep. 07. This is difficult for me since i have no support from the other half of my child. Even though its my fault since i had gotten involved with a man that is older than me, but i never thought he'd leave my side at a time like this.....if any one feels the same plez help meposted 03/23/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

ANY ADVICE?posted 03/15/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Hello everyone, I am a 19 year old mother of a 8 month old baby boy and I need a little advice. This morning I found out that the father of my son stole some very expensive diamond earrings that belong to me? What should I do? He has admitted it to the cops. So now not only is he in jail but he is also on felony probation and has been for 2 years.posted 02/24/2007 by jatanna123
I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 16, had a c-section when I was 17. I almost died b/c of complications so I am ashamed to admit that I resented my daughter at first. It took me a long time to connect w/her like I should have. I have to say that I was devastated but very strong willed. It took me a couple months to get over everything and my childs father really didn't want anything to do with her until she was at the playing age. I was in essence a single mother. The 1st thing I had to accept was that I didn't know everything and though your mother or grandmother may seem annoying with all their "try it this way" talk,, you should listen. I'm 23 now and pregnant w/my 2nd baby. I'm scared to death again thatI might make the same mistakes with this child that I made w/my daughter. I don't think that part ever changes. Just know that little boy your carrying is totally dependent on you. Your his mother, his protector, his provider..your the only one he can truely count on. So love him and take the good w/the bad and realize you've done a good job taking care of him so far and you'll do whatever it takes to make his life the best you can. GOOD LUCKposted 01/11/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm a single mother of 2. I had my son when I was 17 (august 2004) I dropped out of school to raise him and I did get my G.E.D. When i found out I was pregnant again in March 2006 at 19 years old I was a nervous wreck. I was barely able to support my son and myself. My bills were always late. Then I started having complications...at 6 weeks i started spotting. I quit my job because I didnt want to miscarry. The spotting continued till I was 12 week pregnant and then let up. I was eager to go back to work but my mother told me that it was a bad idea. So I took her advice. At 19 weeks the bleeding started again and i thought nothing of it. Then at 22 weeks I went into preterm labor and spent 3 horrible days in the hospital with contractions the nurses couldnt stop. So with all my stresses the father being an idiot, and money, I was also worrying about the health of my unborn daughter. She was fine though born at 37 weeks and beautiful as ever. And my son loves her to pieces. And we've got each other. Life is hard, and things get tough. No one said it would be easy! But you can do it. So my message to single mothers is to breath take it a day at a time and you will get through it. There are programs to help you. WIC can also help you find places to get things for you baby like clothes and carseats. Keep your chin up smile at the small things and remember it could always be worse.posted 01/10/2007 by .+'~Rae~'+.
I'm 20 years old and 19 wks pregnant with my first child. I don't have a job and the stress is overwhelming; even though my baby's father is married he still wants to be in my baby's life, but thats all talk! He hasn't been to any prenatal visits or helped getting my baby's stuff and no one is going to hire a pregnant woman with only a high school diploma.posted 01/02/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
im amber, im 20 and my son is almost 4 mths... His father wants nothing to do with him and says the baby isnt his... one day he wants to see him and the next day he doesnt...You have to remember whats best for you and your baby... Having a baby is the best feeling in the world... just keep your head up.. its not as hard as everyone makes it... Mothers kno exactly what to do...Just show your baby as much love and affection as possible and everything will be fine... Good luck!posted 01/01/2007 by inmemoryofchris16

Genius...simply genius.
I love the softness of the colors with the dreamy curving lines.
Wow, its that a draw from your mind, or is it a vectrization?
I'm extremely inspired by your works of art. However this particular image seems to be somewhat confusing particularly revolving around the pillow the figure is grasping. I believe this is due to the position of your figure and through the fact that her lower body is not visible. At first glance it almost appears as if the pillow is the figures body curled up in a very distorted and non-humanly way. I'd be interested in hearing your point-of-view after posting this comment if you find the time. Anyways the other aspects of this digital painting are very well executed.
love this!

Hey man, you seem to have quite a following here! I am wondering about your process, how much of it is traditional. Are you doing color studies, or is it mostly intuitive? Your linework commands a lot of attention and I think it is the strongest part of this piece. With composition coming in a close second. Not familiar with the artist your referencing, but I am gonna check him out now! Keep grindin man
Oh god!
Fantastic concept. Well done!

Your reviews of the mix
I listen to all the dance shows each week, and love most if not all the Essential mixes. But dear oh dear, the 5hr one was dull as dull can be. Not sure whos mixing in the 2nd hour but shoot him! The tracks where boring and not uplifting at all, the mixing sucked big time, I would have walked off the dancefloor. Thank god my iPod has past ones I can listen to today. What was up with the sound quality too, usualy live shows are a good mix of audience and the mix. This was bad production all round.
Cliche + tacky = Steve Aoki ... commercial filth! But then again, Radio 1 has been about attracting the masses...bring on some damn quality music!!!
the essential mix is awsome but i was wondering if its possible to purchase the hervey and sindens essential mix do you guys have it on a cd in stores.. is it avail able in canada?
Steve Aoki, Guau!!!!!, this man Move Any Mountain!!! (like The Shamen!!!), Excellent. He Got The Power! (like Snap!), He He...
nice one all off it 5 hr ok with me
this man rocks!! absolutly stormin' from start to finish!
Aoki is seriously ill!!!
Very very good and very special
Was wrecked and this mix woke me up, mad me wanna go out for a mad one. Stick er out
When you getting the Twocker lads on??!
C'mon, where's the support for Mr Tong??? A cracking selection of dancing tunes, as always, and the reason why we all went to decent nightclubs in the first place, innit! God bless you Tongy, when the hell r u getting yr self out here ? For Pete's sake, when are we gonna start realising that this man is second only to Peel in his stewardship of the altar at which we bounce!
Wicked set from Steve!Can't wait till he's in belgium.France and Italy are well represented in his mix!Party on,Mich, Bazel
Steve, you are unbelievable; this essential mix is amazing....
I agree with Nick from Oxford comments. diggers set not long enough. tong wasn't explosive self. but all in very good and so pleased radio1 do these mixes. i guess its hard to please everyone, last year oakey didn't go down that well. personally didn't like the rock in zanes set :(
I have been saying this for around 2 years now, TONG HAS TO RETIRE!!
Steve Aoki's EM was fantastic my favorite of the year!!! listen to some of the 5 hour Ibiza set and thought it was a bit shit Zane Lowe didn't impress and tongy's mix was a snooze fest
Aoki Rulles !
are you serious?this guy's father owns beni-hana and his sister is a supermodel..
can some1 tell me wich song is at 40min. thanks
To protect and entertain and party we trust, them other DJs aint "bhaa bhaa ba ba"... great EM by one of LA's finest.
First off L.A. don't know squat when it comes to House or Dance Music! People here just jump on whatever is the trend at the moment. And thats the truth! What KID is doing isn't bad but it aint great either. Sounds like he's trying to be Erol Alkan and failing miserably at it.
essential? come on now
digweed was awesome so was the night. should of aired his 1st hour as well. bangin.
was there and loved it. radio1 and amnesia, an inceredible combination.
Didn like it from any point.Not of the quality radio 1 has spoiled us with.
what an awsum mix !!! wish i waz in ibiza naw partyin up!
Nice mixing from Zane... or maybe not!
My mother always told me if you ain't got anything nice to say say nothing...........................
Very good set, Got me dancing around alot!
man this mix rocksso so so funky! steve aoki rocks!
A great mix all in all, lots of variety & lots of highlights! thx Radio 1 for introducing me to this DJ! Did i hear a Timbaland track remixed not stated in the t/listing?
Effing class! Listened to it the other night n' thought it was amazing - some good old thumping house tunes. Must admit though, wasn't too keen on Zane's set... it was a bit all over the place/mashed-up and didn't flow well. Laters, Al
A bangin' set, great tracklisting. Dig it.
i'm j-j-j-jammin! always good tunes from this man! awesome!
Pretty dull and uninspiring. If thats essential then God help us all!!!!!!
Thats exactly what i'm talking about...Awesome mix!
Digweed's mix gave me the goose bumps. he's a genius!
Amazing ES as alwaysWhy oh why won't bbc release every essential mix onto CD. They would make a fortune.
Big ups to Mr. Aoki for representing Los Angeles with a BANGING Essential Mix! That's how we do it!
I've been to every Radio1 in Ibiza since 2001 and 2008 has to be the best so far. Kicking off on Friday 1st Aug at Ibiza Rocks Hotel and ending at Amnesia for the Radio1 Ibiza party. Radio1 Rocks Ibiza!!!!See ya next year
A solid addition to the EM series!!! Really enjoying this one. Gotta love Aoki's selections.. BANG'N!!! THX! D
Man i must say steve aoki has done it againwell played man, well played
hello all djs was best of all the year those mixing best music in the best disc worldwide, and transmitted luckily in radio 1 of bbc, exelente for the lovers of electronic music, follows ahead ................. live forever Pete Tong and your Essential Mix ............Pura Vida, Costa Rica
Yes Yes YesAoki Aoki Aoki
Utter filth, awesome!!
Too much noise without a reason
Insane, simply Insane!!!
IBIZA2005*****2006*****2007*** (Way too short, but at least there were 2 hours sets)2008** John Digweed was incredible but 1 hour wasn't enough, he should have had Eddie's slot as well. Eddie had no reason to have an EM slot when he could just broadcast his set on his own show, and also cos he got air time in Ibiza last year as well. Not impressed with that decision. Justice were also great and as for Zane Lowe, was that a sound clash, mash up guestmix, mini mix or even a glorified freshers week set. Either way i loved it, was very refreshing to hear Oasis on the EM, lol. Tong = snooze fest, dunno maybe it was me but i couldnt get into his set, almost seemed as tho he didnt want to be there, very little crowd interation unlike Zane who was really going for it. Lastly can we stop these pettie 5 hour shows and bring back some real special extended shows. Especially stop 1 hours sets, they're so annoying, 1.30 mins at the least (like 2004).
Lots of these tracks were things I was listening to at the moment, so plenty of head nodding. Some interesting selections, but a nice and bouncy EM!
Aoki has come a long way since the mid 90's when he called himself the first superstar DJ. He really wasn't and still isn't. I tried to like this mix but I can only recommend the intro and the last 20 mins. I was hoping for more.
great mix, a-tracks new remix is sick
absolute rubbish!
ugh! steve aoki!
I aint heard the mix yet....... but that listing sounds fantastic! Thru cheap thrills via proxy and duran duran to The Who and MGMT? phew..
Is he Japanese?
this mix is so predictable my mum could have made it, another erol alkan copycat just with cheesy electro house, the em should be about the music not technical ability, its gone bloody pete tong......
a bit boring to much old cheese deadmau5 to much new chesse self made cheeseionaire
Just what i needed to kickstart my saturday night. Good to hear a house set that sounds so fresh
Lovin this mix!! Rockin it at our party in sunny spain!! Will be tuning in for the live in Ibiza mix, cant wait!!
Steve is one of the best DJ performers around. Those who havent seen him must! He is not one of those DJs that sit turning dials all night, but one who can actually be a true performer!
This mix has just knocked Deadmau5 off the top spot for Essential Mix of the year.Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is amazing, highly recommended!
Lovin' it .Big ups cali.
Amazing... Thank you...
Great Mix, Very Nice Tunes!

Respond to Review of Minh Hien Quan Chay
by efcliz
Review: Most restaurants in Hoi An offer a couple of vegetarian options but it is well worth seeking out this place slightly off the main streets. It is mostly vegan apart from the breakfast egg dishes. English is spoken by the very friendly staff and the menu is available in English. There's a pleasant covered courtyard and it sells beer. The food here was some of the best we ate in Vietnam, and very cheap. Highly recommend the vegetables and tofu wrapped in banana leaf and the "chicken" rice, but we loved everything we ate here. A must visit.

Casa Aire Libre, Dos Brazos de RioCosta RicaPuntarenasPuerto Jimenez
About this listing
Casa Aire Libre is a two-story, open air rustic home truly one with nature, located in the forest reserve of the world famous Corcovado National Park with a brand new park entrance opened in February 2015!
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
Casa Aire Libre is located in the Osa Peninsula, southwest Costa Rica where the rainforest meets the sea. It is one of the most remote, most spectacular and wildest regions in the country. One of the last places in Costa Rica to be settled, it has been dubbed Costa Rica's last wilderness frontier. Rich in wildlife, sparsely populated and until recently very difficult to access by road. Consequently much of the peninsula is still covered in majestic, pristine rainforest. Dominated by Corcovado National Park which protects most of the peninsula, the Osa supports more then fifty percent of the animal and plant species that live in Costa Rica. National Geographic has described the Osa as, "The most biologically intense place on earth".
While you are staying at Casa Aire Libre you will have the feeling to be in the middle of the jungle with no one else around yet the property manager is only a few minutes away. Tucked away on 30+ acres you will discover the wonders of the tropical rainforest, such as leaf cutter ants, the white-nosed coati and the explosive diversity of bird species; Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, Motmots and Trogons just to name a few. At night you will fall asleep to the sounds of howler monkeys in the distance and the Rio Tigre right outside your house.
The Neighborhood
Dos Brazos is a town with a rich history and an even more prosperous future. Not more than 40 years ago, gold, and lots of it, was Dos Brazos claim to fame. People came from everywhere to work for the gold mining companies back then. After the companies left some decided to stay and Dos Brazos de Rio Tigre was born. Today Dos Brazos is a sleepy little town of just 295 inhabitants that lies in the richest location you can imagine, right at the border of the world famous Corcovado National Park. Although gold mining is still practiced, the wealth is in the amazing diversity of flora and fauna and wild life. In fact Corcovado is thought to be one of the most biologically intense and pristine places in the world!
It's a small oasis of civilization, surrounded by the jungle of the forest reserve that encompasses Corcovado. Although it's a short 12-kilometer ride from the beautiful Pacific beaches of Puerto Jimenez, and just a little further from great wave riding in Matapalo, it's a town that is barely known on the tourist circuit. From Dos Brazos you'll find extensive walking trails into the jungle, with many waterfalls to see, world class birding, horseback riding, gold mining tours, and more are all available. There are two small grocers, a bar, and a Soda (cafe) which has excellent food. So get off the beaten path, and make your way to Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre!
Getting Around
By Taxi: From Puerto Jimenez you can take a taxi for $25 USD, they are pretty easy to find once you are in town, just tell the taxi driver to take you to Tristan's house in Dos Brazos.
By Bus: In the center of Puerto Jimenez the El Tigre colectivo (local bus service) runs to Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre (12 kilometers/7.5 miles west of Puerto Jimenez). Monday thru Friday @ 11am and 4pm at the hardware store next to the Carate bus stop. From Dos Brazos to Puerto Jimenez @ 6:00 am and 12:00 pm. The fare is ₡1,500/$3 USD.
Other Things to Note
What should I Pack?
This is our suggested list of items to bring on your holiday. Please bear in mind the weight of your luggage is very limited on domestic flights.
Lightweight hiking or walking shoes.
River shoes and flip flops.
Flashlights and/or headlamps (please bring rechargeable batteries, currently we have no way of recycling them in the Osa Peninsula)(URL HIDDEN)
Quick drying clothes
Snacks from home (power bars for example).
San Jose is usually 70 to 80°F (21 to 27°C) although it can get pretty chilly at night, pack a long sleeve shirt and pants.
Re-useable water bottle.
Day pack for hiking and short trips.
Dry bags (protection for your gear).
Waterproof case for your phone.
Reading material, none of our houses have TV or internet.
Sunscreen, sunglasses and/or hat.
Insect repellent, after-bite and travel first-aid kit.
Umbrella/rain gear during the green season (April thru December).
English/Spanish dictionary.
Welcome, Bienvenidos
In an effort to conserve energy and respect the environment turn off everything when not in use, do not forget the lights and fans.
Casa Aire Libre is located in the Forest Reserve of the Corcovado National Park and many amazing creatures live here. A word of caution: some of them are dangerous. Make sure that you bring a head lamp and or flashlight. Always carry a lamp at night and use caution when walking in the jungle.
There is no rubbish service in the jungle and we recycle what we can. We ask that you separate your garbage and dispose of accordingly in the appropriate bins provided and please do not bring plastic drinking water bottles, we have some of the best water in Costa Rica! Bring one bottle for your drinking water and re-use it, we love our beautiful jungle paradise and want to keep that way!
Just like in much of Costa Rica, our septic tank is unable to handle any paper or feminine products so we ask that you place these things in the bin provided next to the toilet.
We would appreciate it if you would not smoke inside the house.
Although we have never had problems in the past, always take precaution and put your valuables in the security safe.
When staying with us at Casa Aire Libre we want you to consider it your home for as long as your vacation lasts, and we are sure you will love it and treat it as if it is your own.
Pura Vida,

Generative Constraints - 16 November 2013 - London
full name / name of organization:
Practice-Based Research, RHUL
contact email:
Generative Constraints is an interdisciplinary practice-based conference that intends to interrogate the politics, poetics and performativity of limitation and production. Organised by postgraduate researchers across departments of English and Drama at Royal Holloway University of London, the aim of this conference is to foreground practice as a means of exploration and creative criticality. Considering the place of limitation and constraint within artistic production, we invite subversion, intervention and adherence in the form of performances, workshops, durational works, screenings, installation pieces and academic papers.
The conference is open to postgraduate students, career researchers and artists from all disciplines, presenting work that both relates to the theme and has practice as an integral element of a new way of thinking. Addressing the possibility of liberation and freedom through constraint, we welcome abstracts concerned with:
• Working with form and source material
In submissions, please indicate the nature of your participation, whether workshop, performance or twenty minute paper. Submit proposals to email@example.com by 16th August 2013. For further information see: generativeconstraints.tumblr.com.

Re: AmEx 61 Day CLI - how to count 61 days?[ Edited ]

FWIW I believe the info can be gleaned from the AMEX account page. When I was approved these dates populated. I think day 61 is calculated from the SINCE date.
This is correct only before the first statement is cut. But yes this will also work ! Looks like you found another proxy for the account open date.
It looks like you opened your Amex card on 12/17/2012.
Once your first statement is cut and ready though, your SINCE day will say "Jan 14", which tracks spending for the next statement since the last statement closed. But great way to find your account open date. Thumbs up.

Well I am on blood pressure med since jan 2010 after having m/c. I usually have H/B/P during my pregnancies but nothing so alarming that I had to go on med, except for my last birth my blood pre was high and I went weekly once I got into my 30 week of preg and by the 34 week my daughter had stoped growing and they had to induce me. So since 2010 Ive been on methydolpa it's med that you can take while trying and while your preg. Ask your doc about it. I hope your fine. It's scary. Stay away from all salt trust me..
We just added our 5th child to our beautiful family.

Art should be MORE than just beautiful
by Audra Jennings Monday, December 13, 2010
Weve all heard the line, a picture is worth a thousand words, but does the art hanging on your walls just look nice or does it have a deeper meaning? In an interview last week with Fox News Lives Lauren Green, artist Ron DiCianni explained that all art should be more than just a pretty picture, it should tell a story. DiCianni has made it his lifes work to devote his talents to a very special message, the Gospel message.
Ron DiCianni grew up in an unlikely area to produce a talented artist. After attending the American Academy of Art in Chicago, he embarked on a career in commercial illustration. Quickly recognized as one of the nations most talented illustrators, DiCiannis client list was soon dominated by prominent companies ranging from Eli Lilly to McDonalds. He was chosen as the 1980 official Olympic illustrator and is considered one of the most successful illustrators of his generation.
In a world dominated by the visual realm, DiCianni considers himself a Christian cleverly disguised as an artist. His self-stated mission is to reclaim the Arts for Christ and in 1989 God led him to create the painting that started a revolutionSpiritual Warfare. Several extraordinary Christian paintings followed on the heels of Spiritual Warfare and it was soon clear that a new chapter in art had begun.
Weve all heard the old adage that a picture paints 1,000 words. I think what that means in the context of visual communication is that a picture allows the viewer to have that aha moment a lot quicker than via text or speech, explains DiCianni. Imagine, if you will, trying to explain tying your shoelaces to someone via the written word and with no pictures. Youd have to write a small book. Show them how to do it visually with just a few verbal explanations and it would take only a few minutes. In my opinion, it is the same with the Gospel. The Bible takes entire chapters to communicate and describe Christs resurrection. We can do it in 30 seconds via one picture. The effect most often is tears of joy and amazement, regardless of race, language, nationality, or level of education. The message is the same. All thats different is the delivery.
DiCiannis publisher, Tapestry Productions Inc. (TPI), is bringing viewers eye-to-eye with the unflinching love of God through fine art reproductions from highly acclaimed and mission-driven artists. Created seven years ago, this niche firm began with premium Christian fine art reproductions and then expanded to include derivative products that continue to impact and influence viewers by telling the unparalleled story of hope and redemption. It is the only company of its kind devoted to Christian fine arts.

If you do not wish to be identified as an expert in a certain area, we ask that you refrain from answering questions that are specifically directed to those that have been verified as specialist in their area and that you do not claim to be a professional in any area.
If a member posts with "expertise" please check to make sure they are on this list. If not, please do not take their post as professional information, but rather just as another opinion; much as you would with any member of the general posting membership.
Locals who are describing the area or are members of the gyms and that sort of thing do not need to be verified.
We only verify people who know the players or have been named in the media, etc. This does not include people who may befriend a player on internet social media and then wish to post about it.
If a member wants to post as a professional (a lawyer, shrink, and so on) or as a local/knows the people involved then they must email us at the following email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Please include:
The case
Your Websleuths name
Your phone number and a good time to call
Your real name
Location (City and State)

Please note that only the owners and administration are privy to members who are on the verified list. Generally only one administrator works on the verifications, but other administrators may be asked to help if the need warrants.
If you have not known the family or friends prior to the incident, you most likely will not need to be verified. There are certain instances where this becomes necessary like in the case where a private investigator is hired and wants to post as an insider. Websleuths does not condone our members getting involved in crime cases unless there is something the member can do that will make a difference. Please contact law enforcement with any tips.
Professional posters:
When you send in your information, please scan your license and attach to your email at the same time. That will expedite the process.
We no longer verify locals. It became way too time consuming and we didn't feel it was necessary. However, if a moderator deems that a poster seems to be more of an insider than a local, we will ask that you become verified before posting information that is not in the mainstream media. Otherwise, you are free to post about your area and what you've observed.
A great big to all of you who are willing to help on Websleuths!

We shall remember you when we trim our tree, Seven shining light upon the end of each bough; We will hang wreaths of faith that all may see Tonight we glimpse beyond the hear and now. We wish for you all a wonderful yuletide And shall keep for you all a candle in our hearts.

The complex, spicy sweet flavor of Chai is best appreciated on its own, although the tea also goes well with simple desserts or plain baked goods like butter cookies, brioche and croissants.
We're proud to offer a wide array of familiar and exotic loose leaf teas from the finest tea estates for optimum sipping. We've got a wide selection of organic and Fair Trade Certified teas, along with premium black teas, green teas, herbal teas and yerba mate amongst others.
The best tasting teas are brewed loose.
Loose-leaf tea is superior in both flavor and health benefits. Whole, intact leaves retain the full components of the teas which are diminished with the chopping, grinding and sifting that prepares tea for tea bags. Loose-leaf teas unfurl while steeping and release their full aroma, taste and goodness.
Sip Responsibly.
We have a taste for tea. And nothing tastes better than teas that are sustainably farmed and socially beneficial. That's why we're committed to offering a large selection of organic Fair Trade Certified teas. Purchasing Fair Trade teas benefits farmers committed to sustainable practices and provides support to their communities
Suggested Use
Add 1 tsp chai mix to 3/4 boiling water. Steep 4 to 5 minutes and strain. Top off with 1/4 cup hot milk or dairy substitute and sweeten with honey or sugar to taste. Makes 1 serving.
Organic fair trade certified green tea, organic cardamom, organic ginger, organic fennel, organic cinnamon.
iHerb Customer Reviews
This was just what I was looking for! The green chai I drank before was discontinued, and I've looked over two years for a replacement. This tea is light and flavorful, and I love drinking it straight (without milk and sweetener). Here are some brewing tips to get this tea exactly right (the instructions on the label are hilariously ill-suited to green tea in general): - Don't use boiling water. Use hot water around 65C (about 150F) or else it'll be too bitter. If you can't gauge the temperature of your water use 3/4 boiling and 1/4 cold. - For one cup of tea, use one tsp of leaves (for two cups, two tsp and so on). If you want a stronger tea (for instance, if you want to add milk), use double the amount of leaves (though personally I don't think green tea is a good milk tea). - Brew for about 1 to 2 minutes according to your preference. Any longer and it'll be gross!
Excellent quality but I think the green tea should be replaced with loose black tea.

Welcome to the Heist
Welcome to the Heist
Lyric Meaning
This is the first track on the Heist album, and unlike many of its songs Ten Thousand Hours wasn't released as a single or leaked before the album dropped. The name of the album, The Heist, is a metaphor for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' attempt to 'steal' airplay, attention and success from its traditional keepers in the music industry, the major record labels.
While "The Heist" kind of alludes to stealing airplay we shouldn't ignore the previous lines. You can't get the best moments of your career back from the grave, especially when the crowd won't give you a second chance in the form of an encore. But Macklemore plans to steal the moment back.

Title-game tussles: Brady-Manning, 49ers-Seahawks
|San Diego Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (13) catches a pass for a touchdown against Denver Broncos cornerback Quentin Jammer (23) in the fourth quarter of an NFL AFC division playoff football game, Sunday, Jan. 12, 2014, in Denver. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)
Well, well. We meet again. Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady in the AFC championship game. The San Francisco 49ers vs. the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC title bout.
It'll be a Sunday of rivalry showdowns next weekend, with familiar foes a win away from the Super Bowl.
Manning helped lead the Denver Broncos past the San Diego Chargers 24-17 on Sunday, setting up another meeting with Brady and the New England Patriots.
The Broncos opened as 6-point favorites for the game at Denver.
"It's the Broncos versus the Patriots and certainly Tom and I have played against each other a lot," Manning said, "but when you get to the AFC championship, it's about two good teams that have been through a lot to get there."
In the NFC, the 49ers and Seahawks are all set to play for the NFC championship in the latest chapter in one of the NFL's budding — and bitter — rivalries.
The Seahawks (14-3) opened as 3-point favorites for the game at Seattle.
The Broncos (14-3) controlled the game against the Chargers (10-8) for 3 quarters before Philip Rivers capitalized on an injury to cornerback Chris Harris Jr. to stage a comeback reminiscent of Baltimore's shocking win at Denver exactly a year earlier.
But this time, Manning rescued the Broncos from the brink of another crushing collapse and sent them into the title game for the first time in eight seasons.
Manning and Brady have squared off 14 times throughout their careers, with the Patriots quarterback holding a 10-4 edge in the head-to-head matchup — including a 34-31 overtime victory in November.
"They're a great team, they had a big win last night," Manning said. "We're going to enjoy this one tonight, start to work on them tomorrow and I know it'll be a heck of a game."
Manning was 25 of 36 for 230 yards and two TDs, but the Broncos controlled the clock by largely sticking to the ground game. After gaining just 18 yards against San Diego last month, the Broncos ran for 133 yards, including 82 by Knowshon Moreno, whose 3-yard TD run put them ahead 24-7 with 8:12 left.
The Chargers rallied to get within a score late, but Manning completed a pair of key third-down passes in the final minutes to prevent San Diego from getting a final chance.
At Foxborough, Mass., LeGarrette Blount carried the Patriots (13-4) to their third straight AFC title game with four touchdown runs in a 43-22 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.
"It's just a great achievement," Brady said. "People have counted us out at times this year, but I think we've got a locker room full of believers."
It's easy to see why after they forced Andrew Luck into throwing four interceptions and ran for six scores against the Colts.
"We just had to keep our foot on the gas pedal," Blount said, "and make sure that they didn't to us what they did to Kansas City."
Last weekend, the Colts (12-6) pulled off a stunning 45-44 victory over the Chiefs in which they overcame a 38-10 third-quarter deficit in the wild-card game for the second-biggest comeback victory in NFL playoff history.
This time, there was no such come-from-behind performance for Luck and the Colts.
At Charlotte, N.C., Colin Kaepernick threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score and the 49ers defeated the Carolina Panthers 23-10 on Sunday.
San Francisco, which lost last year to Baltimore, is looking for a return trip to the Super Bowl. And lots of hard hits and plenty of jawing might be expected in this latest matchup with the Seahawks.
"I think we're the two teams everyone was looking at from the beginning," Kaepernick said. "It's going to be a knockdown, drag-out game."
The 49ers have committed seven turnovers and been outscored 71-16 in their past two trips to Seattle, including a 29-3 Week 2 loss in September.
"We're a different team than we were the first time we played them up there," Kaepernick insisted.
The 49ers (14-4) will get a chance to prove that next weekend after Kaepernick completed 15 of 28 passes for 196 yards Sunday, avenging his worst statistical performance of the season two months ago against the Panthers. He was held to 91 yards passing and 16 yards rushing in the first meeting with Carolina, a 10-9 loss at Candlestick Park.
On Saturday, Marshawn Lynch ran for a franchise playoff-record 140 yards and two touchdowns and Seattle's defense flustered Drew Brees and New Orleans in a 23-15 victory. The top-seeded Seahawks advanced to the NFC title game for the second time, and first since the 2005 playoffs.
"We haven't done anything yet," quarterback Russell Wilson said. "That's our goal. We have 60 minutes of football left."
Against a familiar foe.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh have been rivals dating to their days as opponents in the old Pac-10 conference.
In 2009, after Harbaugh's Stanford team ran up the score on Carroll's Southern California squad in a 55-21 rout, the two met at midfield and an annoyed Carroll barked, "What's your deal?"
They've carried that over to the NFL — and it might get ramped up again during the week with a Super Bowl appearance on the line.
"We're healthy, we're a great team and we're willing to do whatever it takes to get that ring," Gore said. "We're playing great ball."
The 49ers held Cam Newton in check, intercepting him twice and sacking him five times while stopping the Panthers (12-5) twice on the 1-yard line in the first half.
At Seattle, Steven Hauschka kicked three field goals in blustery conditions, and Lynch capped the victory with a 31-yard scoring run with 2:40 left that Carroll celebrated by jumping into offensive line coach Tom Cable's arms.
"It feels awesome," fullback Michael Robinson said, "but this doesn't mean anything if we don't win next week."

Oh, and thank you for the costume upgrade for Captain America in Age Of Ultron, from what I've seen it looks like a far more practical suit for a soldier like Cap and the colouring is much better also when you compare it to the one used in The Avengers. I really liked the Stealth STRIKE suit too so I hope it makes a reappearance at some stage.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The "Catholic schools vs. Homeschool" attitude is tragic. Those who insist that Catholic parents have an obligation to send their children to Catholic schools need to stop guilt-tripping parents and impugning their motives and deal with reality. We're not the enemy of Catholic schools - we are Catholic schools.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Living Faith
Keywords: homeschool, Catholic school, Church, education, Jennifer Hartline
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Catholic Online) - The 2010-11 school year marked my first as a homeschooling mom. For two years our daughters had attended Catholic schools, but this school year was the grand opening of the Hartline Academy for Girls. It's been challenging, rewarding, frustrating at times, a steep hill to climb some days, but a blessing for all of us and we have no regrets.
I was quite dismayed - rather irritated, actually - to read the article in Our Sunday Visitor recently regarding the conflict between homeschool families in Texas and Bishop Joe Vasquez of Austin, as well as Ned Vanders, the Catholic schools superintendent.
It centers on a belief that Catholic parents are obligated to send their children to Catholic schools if there's a school in their area, and parents who do not are guilty of abrogating that obligation. In other words, parents who choose to homeschool are committing a grave offense against Catholic schools.
The Holy Family Homeschoolers Association had invited Bishop Vasquez to celebrate a blessing Mass with them at the beginning of the next school year. Curiously, the response didn't come from the Bishop's office but from Ned Vanders.
He wrote: "Bishop Vasquez received your invitation to celebrate a Eucharistic liturgy for the fall home-schooling blessing Mass. Bishop Vasquez believes Catholic education, and in particular Catholic school education, is an essential part of the life of the Diocese of Austin. As you know, Catholic schools are at the heart of the mission of the Church. Bishop's presence at the homeschooling Mass would convey a contradictory message equating the importance of Catholic school education with Catholic home schooling; therefore, Bishop Vasquez must respectfully decline the invitation. Sincerely in Christ, Ned F. Vanders, E.D."
Respectfully, there was nothing respectful about Mr. Vanders' reply. It was a thinly-veiled attack on the integrity of homeschoolers, the right of parents to make such a choice, and the validity of Catholic homeschooling. It was insulting and dismissive. And it still baffles me why Bishop Vasquez did not respond himself. I sincerely hope the Bishop does not share Vanders's views on Catholic homeschooling.
(OSV reported that the Diocese of Austin declined interview requests for Vanders and Bishop Vasquez.)
It's disturbing that the Diocese of Austin has intentionally created an "us-versus-them" atmosphere regarding homeschooling families. The OSV article went on to quote Fr. Peter M.J. Stravinskas, executive director of the Catholic Education Foundation. Fr. Stravinskas is also not very supportive of homeschooling families.
Fr. Stravinskas says "the Church Fathers made clear that catechesis is the job of the whole Church, with the main responsibility resting on the shoulders of the pastor, not the parents." I did a double-take upon reading that one, because it seems to me that runs contrary to Vatican II's Declaration on Christian Education which states that parents are the primary educators of their children.
No pastor can replace parents, and no parish can substitute for the child's home. Children will live what they've been taught to live at home. If the Faith is lived and taught within the family, chances are good the children will "catch" it and nurture that Divine Love for themselves. If home is a place where God and the Church are neglected or blasphemed, well, the children will surely catch that, too.
Fr. Stravinskas also says that "Catholic parents who choose to homeschool when there is a Catholic school available at least implicitly send the message that they do not trust the Church to educate their children properly, and the children get that message. That leads to a subtle anti-clericalism because the children learn that priests cannot be counted on to hand on the faith. It shows in what he sees as a dearth of vocations from homeschool families. 'Why would you want to join the club if its members can't be trusted to do their jobs?'"
First, I'd like to know exactly how many vocations are coming from Catholic school families compared with homeschool families. I wouldn't be so quick to discount the homeschoolers. The homeschool families I know would be elated to have a future priest or nun among their children! I sure would!
But mostly this is just a continuation of the theme that it's the pastor's job to teach children, not the parents. I disagree. God has entrusted three souls to my husband and me to raise and teach, and we will be held accountable for how well we passed on the Faith. The buck stops with us first, not our pastor.
A few more thoughts: How many priests or nuns are in the classrooms of Catholic schools around the country? If educating the children is their primary job, then why is it the Catholic schools my girls attended rarely ever saw the pastor assigned to the Church next door? Why is it the children only attended Mass about once every other month? Fr. Stravinskas is partially correct in his insight that many parents do not trust the Church to educate their children, though I would clarify that the church distrusted is likely the local parish, not Holy Mother Church.
When a Catholic school does not make daily Mass, or at least weekly Mass, a priority for the formation of its students, then something is very wrong. It's not a generic Christian education we're after, but a Catholic one, and that means the Eucharist, the liturgy, Mary and the saints. That means Mass. At my children's former school, Mass was more of a special occasion than the essence and foundation of the Faith. Is that the catechesis I'm supposed to be satisfied with?
Finally, Fr. Stravinskas never really addresses the issue that begs to be confronted: the outrageous cost of Catholic education. It is simply out of reach for most families. Consider this: it cost us more money to put our daughter through 1st grade than it did for my husband to get a very demanding, high-tech Masters Degree from a major university. Tuition for most Catholic elementary schools is just ridiculously expensive. I'd wager that Fr. Stravinskas would declare the money well-spent because the quality of education is unmatched. I would disagree again.
I am now using a homeschool curriculum that in my opinion far surpasses the curriculum used at our former Catholic school. Not to mention the fact that homeschooling gives me the opportunity to tailor the instruction to each child, to emphasize what my child needs more, and quickly advance through what she needs less. If I see my child struggling to understand something, we don't just move on ahead like a classroom teacher must. The goal is to learn, not just get through a textbook.
The religious instruction we've gone through at home this year has been better than the catechesis they received in previous years. The reading, vocabulary, English, math, spelling, history and science have all been outstanding, very thorough and completely faithful to the Magisterium.
The reality is we educated both our girls at home this entire school year for the cost of ONE MONTH of Catholic school. And we only had two school-aged kids at the time - what about the families with 4, or 5, or 6 children in school at once? In my opinion, this is an abysmal failure on the part of the Church. If Catholic parents are expected to send their children to Catholic schools, then the Church had better get serious about making education the number-one priority and stop burdening Catholic families with thousands upon thousands of dollars in tuition every year.
The Diocese of Wichita has proven it can be done. They are presently the only diocese in the country where children of active parish members can receive a K - 12 education tuition-free! What's stopping every other diocese from doing the same thing?
Beyond the tuition, my husband and I honestly got sick to death of all the "extra" costs associated with the school. We were required to purchase a certain amount of Scripp each month, plus participate in a Fundraising program (if we didn't sell enough of the fundraising stuff, we'd be charged a couple hundred dollars to cover our cost). School lunches, field trips, different uniforms for winter and summer, etc, it all added up to a lot of money, and it got very annoying very quickly.
I'll gladly admit I'm happy to be free of fundraising obligations, since I can't stand having to sell people over-priced stuff they don't need or want. I'm happy to be saving lots of gas money each month since I'm not making two round-trips each day to a school 20 miles away.
I'm happy not to have to worry about $40 sweaters getting lost or stolen. I'm very happy not to be forced to change my shopping habits in order to purchase $200 of Scripp each month that I don't really want. I wanted a Catholic education for my kids, not all these expensive and crazy requirements.
I'm not trying to bash all Catholic schools; I fully believe there are many excellent schools out there, and I want to see Catholic schools thrive. I don't disagree at all that Catholic schools are essential to the Church and the mission of our time. We're open to enrolling our kids in a great Catholic school in the future, if possible.
But if Fr. Stravinskas, Ned Vanders and Bishop Vasquez are going to insist that Catholic parents have an obligation to send their children to Catholic schools; if they're going to dismiss the validity of homeschooling and impugn the motives of homeschooling parents, then it's high time they faced reality and dealt with the legitimate reasons why many of us have chosen to teach our children at home.
We're not trying to undermine the Church or our pastor's authority. We love the Church. We want our children to become priests, deacons and nuns and faithful Catholic adults. We're not the enemy of Catholic schools - we are Catholic schools.

Additional Location Information
The Casita is attached to the main house which is our permanent residence. The location is quiet and private with a few distant neighbours and our cat who is extremely friendly.
The nearest villages of Fuente del Conde and Ventoros de Balerma both have supermarkets and bars. The historic pueblo blanco, Iznajar, is perched on the edge of Lake Iznajar, surrounded by hills and olive grove. A fascinating place to explore with its ancient castle and churches, white-washed houses and steep narrow streets. There are numerous shops, a post office, banks, health centre and many excellent tapas bars which come highly recommended. Loja and Rute (both 25 minutes drive away) are much larger towns catering for all needs. Both are historic centres in their own right. This is hilly country, but if you are up to it, the walks are fantastic with the freedom to wander wherever you wish - no fenced off fields here.
The Hideaway is centrally located for visiting the historic Alhambra palace in Granada, the magnificent Mesquita in Cordaba, the sun-kissed beaches of the Costa del Sol and the colour and flamboyance of Sevilla.

If 10,000 people would donate $.50 we could achieve a trend for each person to take a vacation at any time, and it only takes $.50 a person. Most of us can't afford the full price of a vacation, but $.50 per day is in everybody's budget. Join me in starting a new trend in vacationing.
looking for a mini getaway long wknd in april 14-17. Where should I go Puerto Plata or Punta Cana? Looking for all inclusive resorts.
