Brandon Rios, 'stuff on his hands'
This may be the conspiracy theorist in me, but I was bored in work this morning and was on you tube and went to Elie Seckbachs videos. Now, he had literally just uploaded a video called the 'undercard' which was bascially a look and talk with some of the young pros or amateurs in robert garcias gym
At the end of the video, it turned to Pelos Garcia, who was engaged in a conversation with someone and he then turned to Garcia and said,
"whats that stuff Brandon puts on his hands?" (whilst rubbing the top of his hands)
"Brandon says he puts that **** on his hands"
Garcia looks somewhat troubled / confused and theres some laughing and commotion and then someone motions towards Sechbacks, then Pelos Garcia turns to the camera and says "turn that **** off haha" to Seckbach.
Then I left the page and left it open, only to discover when I went to play the video again, it had been removed.
Subsequently, the video was then re-uploaded - with the portion in question edited out of the video.
Strange to say "stuff on his hands" and act shady about it, then to take the video down and re-upload it with the sequence in question removed?
Anyone else find that odd?

PHILADELPHIA Ś Ryan Howard wanted to be in another place, and Kyle Kendrick rolled his eyes, and David Buchanan wondered, and Domonic Brown complained and Tuesday, Cole Hamels strolled off the mound before the manager had a formal chance to make a pitching change.
Individual acts, different situations. Howard was unhappy with a lineup. Kendrick and Buchanan wanted to pitch longer, Brown apparently thought he could use more playing time, Hamels was frustrated near the end of a tantalizing season. And through that rampant in-house disrespect, the manager, Ryne Sandberg, ducked, and weaved, and survived.
ôHeĺs very patient,ö Larry Bowa said.
More patient than Bowa might have been?
ôI mean, no, I donĺt think ů ö Bowa was saying Wednesday, trying to hide a telling smile, understanding his own reputation as a manager, as a player, as a competitor, as a critic. ôYeah, no, no way.ö And with that, Bowa laughed, not at a situation that could grow toxic, but at the way the game, all of it, has changed.
ôLook at it,ö Bowa said. ôGuys hit a double, get to second and make a bow-and-arrow motion. I donĺt even want to think about what pitchers would have done years ago, if that happened.ö
That was then, this is the 21st century, when everything is magnified, broadcast and over-analyzed, the dirty looks and mumbled comments from the players included. Bowa hasnĺt managed since 2004, and so much has changed in 10 years, so he understands that a managerĺs skin has to be thicker than the padding on the outfield wall. And thatĺs why he insists that Sandberg will shovel himself out of the avalanche of disrespect, emerging clean, becoming successful.
ôYouĺre talking about a guy who was 1-for-his-first-32 when he began playing in Chicago,ö Bowa said. ôAnd I was right there in the infield next to him. I kept looking at him, and would try to give him some support. But Iĺll never forget: He kept saying, ĹNo, Iĺve got this. Iĺve got it. Iĺll be all right. Itĺs going to be fine.ĺ
ôHe had a pretty good career, didnĺt he?ö
Sandbergĺs Hall of Fame plaque doesnĺt mention that 1-for-32, and no one will remember the accumulated dirty looks of that lost summer of 2014 if he ever manages the Phillies to a championship. But they have been there, and they have been documented. Nor has Sandberg denied that they have occurred. Why else would he have acknowledged seeking out Hamels Wednesday for a talk? What? Was he interested in buying that mansion the left-hander has had up for sale?
ôI had a brief little conversation with him,ö Sandberg said. ôHe was upset with what had happened in the seventh inning. I gave him a verbal when I was about six feet from the grass: ĹIĺll pick you up right here, Cole. Nice job.ĺ He thought that was a release to let him go. I just clarified that with him.ö
The Phillies have provided too little clarity in a season that should not have been so horrid, not with their payroll, not with so many players generating impressive statistics. But they have a rotten mix and, it is growing clear, a disintegrating respect for their manager. Since a similar nucleus wasnĺt winning, either, for Charlie Manuel, there is no cause-effect evidence. Besides, no one grumbled more about the way they were managed than the 1980 Phillies, and in particular their shortstop, and they won the championship of the world.
ôThatĺs part of it,ö Bowa said. ôBut if youĺre a manager, you canĺt take that stuff personal, especially with this generation.ö
So far, Sandberg hasnĺt belly-flopped into that generation gap, handling the issues, moving on.
ôItĺs different now,ö Bowa said. ôNow, whatever happens is in the paper in 10 minutes. Iĺm sort of glad I am not playing now, because I would have gotten in a lot of trouble, with the I-phones and the cameras and the tweets. I donĺt have a filter. So I will stay away from that stuff.ö
Too few in Phillies uniforms have filters. Their manager, patient for as long as Larry Bowa has known him, is not one.

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Highly recommeded Propolis
Posted by 4829840344684381269 on Jul 01, 2013
So far the best of the propolis I have ordered from iherb. Effective enough to relieve my sore throat. I would strongly recommend this to my friend. Packaging was good.
Contains Propylene glycol, didnt help
Posted by 5639190363165186238 on Apr 09, 2015
First disappointment was that it contains Propylene glycol so you can`t use it for eyes for example. Second - I`ve been taking it for a month every day, when I got cold. So I doubt it works at all this way. Tried to use it for hair, but also didn`t notice any good. I`m not gonna buy it anymore, but the product itself is not bad, so you can try and see for yourself.
worked for warts
Posted by Reviewer2525926 on Nov 23, 2014
My son had warts on his hands, for about 3 years. The GP tried freezing them four times, didn't work. I tried several herb tictures and nothing worked. But Propolis did. He put twice a day a drop on each wart, and after 3 weeks he gave up because it turned his fingers yellow and it looked like he was a very heavy smoker. But a week later, they started to disappear. They didn't fall of or anything, just became smaller and dissappeared. Wonderful tincture!
Posted by Reviewer1588920 on Jan 08, 2014
Mom loves taking this. She had a problem in her mouth due to dryness. After taking this, her problem has been released. Now, she feels fine without dryness any more.
Posted by Reviewer2068175 on Jul 13, 2010
I use this propolis for a long time, helps with sore throat and colds. Alcohol free is a big plus.
Best one!
Posted by Rosiee on Jun 08, 2011
The best liquid propolis out there. Tha fact that it is alcohol free makes it even more pleasan to use! Excellent results!
Good product
Posted by 5479618070461288572 on Nov 07, 2015
This is the second time I order this propolis for my kids. Seems to reduce grately the flu symptoms. I store it in the fridge & love thefact that it contains no alcohol.

The taste is really bad!

I am trying this to relieve my nasal allergy. I don't.know if it works or not. All I can say is that the taste is really bad! I give up after trying for a few times. I think this product is not for oral consumption.

Emilie Lorraine Zangara, who is described as "vulnerable," was last seen on the evening of Aug. 9, said Detective Melanie Frazier of the Kent police.
Zangara's roommate, who is also developmentally disabled, reported that Zangara left their apartment in the 10800 block of SE 240th St on foot. She has not been seen or heard from since.
Zangara is described as a white female standing 4-feet-10-inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a lavender hat, carrying a pink purse and childhood doll.
Zangara has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and needs daily medication along with a two-week injected dose of medication. She did not take any of her medication or personal items with her.
It has been reported that she has the mental capacity comparable to a young teenager and has been declared as an "incapacitated person," Frazier said.
Zangara's family is afraid that due to her mental state she could easily be manipulated and taken advantage of. Her family believes that Zangara may be in the company of a 43-year-old Kent transient, George Oberbeck.
Kent police detectives say they are working with limited information.
"We are understandably concerned for Zangara and so is her family," Frazier said. "This is out of the ordinary for her, and with her mental instability it makes her that much more vulnerable."

Emerson Getting Better, But The Market Is In Step
Stephen Simpson, CFA

Expectations Improving Faster Than Results At Emerson

Fri, Jul. 22, 2:31 PM
- Emerson Electric (EMR +0.2%) has made an offer to acquire pump manufacturer Pentair's (PNR +0.8%) valves and controls business, in a sale could be valued at ~$2B (£1.5B), Reuters reports.
- Such a deal would free PNR from a unit that CEO Randy Hogan considers a laggard in generating cash, while allowing EMR to expand within its core sectors as it seeks to shed its network power and motors and drives businesses, according to the report.
Jun. 29, 2015, 10:57 AM
- Emerson Electric (EMR -0.8%) is poised to buy Spectronix, an Israeli company which develops fire detection systems, for $99M, Globes reports.
- The purchase price consists of $79M in cash and $20M that will be distributed to investors as a dividend.
- Spectronix's 2014 revenue totaled $40.1M; net profit totaled $5.3M.
Apr. 23, 2015, 5:49 PM
- At least a half-dozen major industrial companies - including GE, Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) Siemens (OTCPK:SIEGY), Honeywell (NYSE:HON), Dover (NYSE:DOV), Danaher (NYSE:DHR) and Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR) - are said to be weighing offers for oilfield services assets worth $5B-$10B that Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) is preparing to sell ahead of its pending merger with Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), Bloomberg reports.
- HAL reportedly will send offering materials to those companies, as well as P-E firms and rival oilfield services providers, in the coming weeks; first up likely will be the drill bits unit and another that uses data to track and steer the direction of drills.
- These companies could own an edge over oilfield services companies that analysts have pegged as logical bidders for HAL's castoffs - such as National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) and Superior Energy Services (NYSE:SPN) - because HAL might not want to give any more market share to companies that already offer the same services, preferring to sell to new players entering the market.
Dec. 15, 2014, 7:42 AM
- Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR) has reached a deal to sell its power-transmission solutions business to Regal Beloit (NYSE:RBC) for $1.4B in cash.
- Emerson says it will use the proceeds for an incremental share buyback during its fiscal 2015.
- Previously: WSJ: Emerson Electric nears $1.2B sale of unit to Regal Beloit (Dec. 12 2014)
- RBC +5.8% premarket
Oct. 16, 2014, 3:17 PM
- Timken (TKR -0.2%), Regal Beloit (RBC +0.9%) and Altra Industrial Motion (AIMC +0.6%) have made it to the second round of bidding in the auction for Emerson Electric's (EMR +2%) power transmission solutions business, Reuters reports.
- P-E firms Warburg Pincus and Onex also are said to be in the running for the unit, which is expected to fetch $1.2B-$1.6B in a sale.
Sep. 2, 2014, 3:31 PM
- General Electric (GE -0.4%) reportedly is among those preparing binding offers for Italian valve maker Petrolvalves, with Emerson Electric (EMR +0.4%) also considered a "motivated" bidder which could also participate in the final round of the company's auction.
- The offers could value the Italian company at more than €1B ($1.31B), according to Reuters.
- Petrolvalves is said to have set a deadline for binding offers towards the end of September in an attempt to sign a deal later this year.

- Virgo is expected to fit well with EMR's Fisher control valve business.
- Virgo had sales of ~$250M last year.
- Financial terms were not disclosed. (PR)
Aug. 6, 2013, 7:45 AM
- Emerson (EMR) to sell 51% stake in embedded computing and power business to private equity firm Platinum Equity for $300M.
- Takes $503M pretax goodwill impairment charge on the operations.
- Net income slumps $194M from $770M, hurt by the impairment.
- Sales fall reflects "a sluggish economic environment and difficult comparisons, as recovery from the Thailand flooding drove robust third quarter sales in the prior year."
- Underlying sales -1%. Breakdown: U.S. -3%, Asia -3%, Europe -6%, emerging markets +2%.
- Low levels of business investment continue to reflect a cautious climate, particularly in mature markets," says CEO David Farr. "The near-term is expected to remain slow, but orders growth has resumed, suggesting the economic environment is beginning to stabilize and improve.
- 2013 outlook: EPS at lower end of $3.48-$3.55 range vs consensus of $3.49; reported and underlying sales growth of 1%, slightly lower than previous expectations; Adjusted EBIT and pretax margin approximately equal to prior year; operating cash flow of $3.4B, free cash flow of $2.7B.

- France's Schneider Electric (SBGSF.PK) is nearing a £3.3B (~$5B) deal to acquire British engineer Invensys (IVNSF.PK) and could announce it as soon as tomorrow, Reuters reports.
- The structure of the share-plus-cash deal should remain roughly the same as the one initially presented earlier this month, as no other bidder has emerged to challenge Schneider's bid.
- One source says there's still a 10%-15% chance that a rival bidder such as Emerson (EMR) could come in even after a potential announcement tomorrow.

Most administrators will be aware that ifconfig's days are numbered; after all, the ip command is far more powerful – and saves typing into the bargain! I'm aware of this, too, but I still find myself using the legacy tool.

Wiregrass cattlemen are spending the day learning about different cattle farming methods and about a way to help others around the world.
Cattle for Christ International gave area cattlemen a tour of their farm Friday.
They shared information about raising cattle and told visitors about their Christian missions around the globe.
Cattle for Christ International spreads the gospel while arming others with the skills they need to make a living and feed their families.
Of those skills, you might have guessed is raising cattle.
"Our purpose is to train the national people to be able to carry on the work, meet their own physical needs, also be able to share the gospel, meet their own spiritual needs, without us having to stay there and do it for them," says Glenn Crumpler with Cattle for Christ International.

Apple slides to No 6 in China smartphone market
Apple's third quarter ranking was two spots below its position in the second quarter.
Hong Kong: Apple's rank in China's smartphone market, which is set to become the world's largest this year, fell to No 6 in the third quarter as it faces tougher competition from Chinese brands, research firm IDC said on Thursday.
Apple's third quarter ranking was two spots below its position in the second quarter in terms of China's smartphone market share by shipments, IDC said. The US giant's market share in China was under 10 per cent in the third quarter.
IDC's release comes a day after Apple's shares fell more than 6 per cent, logging its biggest single-day loss in four years, as a result of stiffer competition in the mobile devices market.

Accident victim was a good man
Published: Monday, August 2, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.

To The Editor: I would just like to say to the family of Tony Best, I am sorry for your loss.
I was friends with Tony. We graduated from East Henderson High School together, and Tony had also done home improvements for me. He was truly a good, kindhearted person, who would do anything for you.
I'm sure he was a good friend to many people in Henderson County. I know he left a good impression on anyone he met or worked with. That was just the type of person he was.
In September our class of 1984 will be having our 20-year reunion, and Tony was planning on attending. We will be remembering Tony and missing him that day and always.
My deepest sympathy goes out to his family and you're in my thoughts and prayers daily. God bless each of you.

About Enthral
Minor-league participants in the always teeming Norwegian black metal movement, Enthral emerged in 1995 from the town of Sunndalsøra, but it was only a couple of years later, after relocating to Oslo, that founding drummer/vocalist Kjetil Hektoen and guitarist Gunnhild Bratset encountered bassist Martin Rafoss, and recorded their debut album, Prophecies of the Dying. Marked by both the usual black metal devices (extreme speeds, satanic topics), and somewhat more atypical elements of gothic, atmospheric, and doom origin, the album featured guest vocals from Ingrid Skretting and paved the way for a similar second opus in 1998's The Mirror's Opposite End (featuring an extended lineup of Skretting, second guitarist Espen Simonsen, and former Dimmu Borgir keyboardist Stian Aarstad). Unfortunately, neither gained much recognition beyond the deepest underground circles (tiny independent label Hot being partly to blame), and Enthral would wait until 2003 before recording their next album, Subterranean Movement. Hektoen was subsequently heard playing on Crest of Darkness's 2004 album, Evil Knows Evil, leaving some doubt about Enthral's future prospects. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, Rovi

Effects of Human Animal and Justice Orientation on Perception of Inmates
|Patrice Sonell Brown
|Faculty Mentor(s)
|PSY 480: Original Research Project
The research project that I am conducting studies the effects of human animal interaction on peoples perception of inmates. The idea behind the project is that people's perceptions of inmates may become positive if the inmate is shown interacting with an animal as opposed to seeing the inmate standing by themselves. In that scenario a more negative perception may be exhibited. I have learned a lot from conducting this research. Since the research is independent, it is up to you to manage your time wisely so everything is finished on time, so from doing this I have attained time management skills. I have also gained first hand experience with data collection and how to do so successfully.

A LEX HOLLEY knows that she has big shoes to fill when she replaces the beloved Sheinelle Jones on Fox 29's "Good Day Philadelphia" (her first day on air is Sept. 1). How will she differ from her predecessor?
Holley offered up some thoughts from her new co-anchor, Mike Jerrick. "He says I have a little sass to me," Holley said.
And she's ready to use it.
Holley previously worked as a morning anchor in Myrtle Beach, S.C., but has only reported straight news. On "Good Day," she's allowed to let loose in a place where opinions are welcome. It's not a giant departure from her previous work, though. "I don't see it as changing up my style - I see it as being myself," the Texas native said.

Darwin, Australia's most northerly capital, is around 2,500 miles from Canberra, the country's capital. The city is a mere 500 miles from the coast of Indonesia.
Even if he didn't have "Forward Operating Base Crocodile Dundee" to inspect (that's a joke... but surely not a bad idea), Barack Obama could not have chosen a better place to send a message to Asia.
"The USA is here to stay," he said (sort of) a mere shouting distance (sort of) from Asia's most southerly shores. The world's most populous Muslim country, no less. But, then, Obama knows a thing or two about Indonesia.
Sure, he was already headed that way — to the security East Asia summit on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, where the issue of who really owns the South China Sea is already squarely on the agenda.
Obama chose Darwin as the place to repeat remarks that the Asia-Pacific is a "top priority" of US security policy — only hours he emphatically told Australian lawmakers in Canberra that:
"The United States is a Pacific power, and we are here to stay."
Obama has pledged not to let budget concerns in Washington compromise his administration's plans to increase the US military presence in the region.
He neglected to mention specifically that his vision — applauded at every turn during Obama's 27-hour visit by Australia's seemingly starstruck leaders — will put more U.S. troops, ships and aircraft much closer to the South China Sea, over which Beijing has sovereignty disputes with several countries.
(GlobalPost reports: Obama tells Asia that US is "here to stay" as Pacific power)
Addressing 2,000 Australian and US troops in tropical Darwin, Obama made an oblique reference to the city's proximity to Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean.
The new de facto U.S. base in Australia expands the direct US military presence in Asia beyond South Korea and Japan and into Southeast Asia, an area where China has growing economic and strategic interests.
"It was here in Darwin that our alliance was born during Australia's 'Pearl Harbor'," Obama said, Reuters reported.
Although more bombs were dropped on Darwin during a World War II Japanese raid than in Hawaii, US-Australian troops regrouped and went on to major Pacific victories, Obama reminded them.
Amid all the talk of "proud" chapters in history and enduring alliances, Obama touched on the economic imperative — seen as key to winning support in Washington for a switch in focus and funds from the Middle East to Southeast Asia.
He said US and Australian forces, training and working together in the near future, would ensure security of the Asian sea lanes to the north that were critical for both economies, according to The Washington Post.
"This is the future we seek in the Asia Pacific — security, prosperity and dignity for all," Obama said. "That's what we stand for. That's who we are. That's the future we will pursue, in partnership with allies and friends, and with every element of American power. So let there be no doubt: In the Asia Pacific in the 21st century, the United States of America is all in."
Before boarding Air Force One for the flight to Bali and the East Asia Summit, Obama left his audience with these few enduring words:
"I want to hear it, so let me say it first: Auzzy, Auzzy, Auzzy!" he chanted, reportedly drawing a near identical response. "Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy!"
Perhaps you had to be there.

At a guess, these build failures are probably indicative of a backend bug: somewhere, there isn't sufficient waiting for results to arrive in memory or in registers. Fixing this, if I'm right, will probably involve finding people with time, detailed knowledge of the mips platform, and motivation. (However, I'm not ruling out something simpler: maybe we're treading on a newly-placed library space, or something; look at /proc/<pid>/maps for emacs, and look for suspicious overlaps with the spaces in src/compiler/mips/vm.lisp).

"The most powerful car in its class, the Vauxhall Astra VXR also offers sharp handling to match its impressive straight-line speed."
The Vauxhall Astra VXR hot hatchback sits at the very top of the Vauxhall Astra range Focused on driving thrills, this car is all about delivering serious speed to people who still want the size and practicality of the standard Astra.
To achieve this, Vauxhall has fitted the VXR with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that produces 276bhp. This power output makes it one of the most powerful cars in is class, with acceleration from 0-62mph taking a mere 5.9 seconds.
The engineers at Vauxhall have aimed for involving handling as well as speed in a straight line, and this has meant tweaks to the steering and suspension setups. The result is a car with a tremendous amount of grip and an adjustable suspension that can be made extremely firm for excellent body control in corners.
The VXR's three main rivals are the Ford Focus ST, Renault Megane Renaultsport and Volkswagen Scirocco R. All of them have various different strengths and weaknesses, but the VXR is only really beaten by the Renault in terms of driving pleasure.
Despite the performance available and the speed-orientated setup of the car, the VXR is still very usable on an everyday basis. It has a pretty large boot, and although it's only available in three-door form, space in the rear seats is actually quite good once you're in.
The car comes with plenty of standard equipment, but it's likely to end up costing you more than most of its rivals. Whether you decide to take the plunge is likely to depend on how smitten you are by the VXR's looks and power.
MPG, running costs & CO2

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
We're firmly of the opinion that Euro helmer Mick Blue should become France's newest ambassador. Though not French himself, Blue seems to have a way of finding the hottest girls from the country, and in general, promoting a much more positive reputation.
Blue's newest, Whore de France, scours the country for some of its naughtiest ladies and then puts them through the sexual wringer.
"Whores" indeed, as all of the ladies do anal and two of the six girls throw down d.p.s, including box cover beauty Tiffany Hopkins.
Some of the stateside ladies might even want to take a few notes on the ferociousness with which these French lovelies take a pounding.

Jan Vertonghen's late piledriver direct from a free-kick added to Manchester City and Belgium skipper Vincent Kompany's first-half header but the match changed on a debatable sending off as James Collins saw red for a challenge on Guillaume Gillet.
Wales fielded a noticeably weakened team minus key absentees in the form of Craig Bellamy, Joe Allen and Neil Taylor, but more than held their own and indeed it was the hosts who carved out the first chance.
Steve Morison flicked on a great header into the path of David Edwards who found the side netting with his shot from a tight angle. Despite conceding the lion's share of possession to Belgium's array of Premier League stars, Wales again almost caught the visitors out on the break, Gareth Bale racing down the wing before pulling back a cross that was just too high for Simon Church.
With Collins marshalling the defence, things were looking promising for the home side. But only two minutes after a magnificent goal saving clearing header, Collins was heading for the tunnel. Swedish referee Stefan Johanesson saw malice in the defender's attempt to win the ball off Jean-Francois Gillet with both feet. It looked harsh.
From that point, it was all Belgium. Eden Hazard could not get his volley on target from Gillet's cross and moments later, Dries Mertens shot wide from Hazard's deflected cross when it was easier to score. But minutes from the half-time whistle, Kompany lost his marker direct from the corner to head in a trademark goal past Boaz Myhill. It may well have been defended had the excellent Collins still been on the field.
Belgium continued to boss possession in the second half and piled on the pressure. Hazard played in Vertonghen only for the Spurs man to shoot into the side netting. But Wales still maintained a threat, particularly through the boot of Bale, who tested the reflexes of Thibaut Courtois with a wicked free-kick.
But the home side were always on the back foot and Belgium, who were worthy winners on the night, wrapped up the game with eight minutes remaining as Vertonghen lashed a free-kick past Myhill after another debatable decision.
Wales boss Chris Coleman has yet to see his side score a goal, let alone win a game since taking over from the late Gary Speed. His side next travels to Serbia on Tuesday.

"Sacha Lodge" Ecuador Hotel Tip by traveldave
Ecuador Hotels: 159 reviews and 263 photos
Sacha Lodge was established by a Swiss citizen who resides in Ecuador. He purchased land from the local Indian community, and opened his lodge in 1992. Over the years, the size of Sacha Lodge's holdings increased to 5,000 acres (2,023 hectares) of lowland and terra firme jungle. This makes Sacha Lodge the largest private reserve in Amazonian Ecuador.
There are no roads to Sacha Lodge, so guests are transported 50 miles (80 kilometers) by boat down the Napo River from the town of Coca. The trip takes over two hours, and offers guests the opportunity to observe the Amazonian jungle and wildlife along the way.
Having arrived at Sacha Lodge's Napo River dock, guests then walk along a raised platform through flooded palm forest to Pilchicocha Lake, where another boat transports them across the lake to the main lodge.
Activities at the lodge mainly revolve around exploring the jungle. Native guides who are experts on the region's flora and fauna can be hired, or guests can walk along the miles of jungle trails by themselves. Attractions include the Sacha Canopy Tower Walkway, the wooden kapok tree tower, and the butterfly house where over 40 species of butterflies are raised. Guests can also swim in Pilchicocha Lake, or visit a local Indian community or parrot clay lick.
Wildlife that has been recorded around Sacha Lodge includes over 600 species of birds, 21 species of monkeys, numerous species of insects, and thousands of species of plants.
A portion of the proceeds earned by Sacha Lodge is used to benefit the local Indian communities. The lodge provides school supplies to five communities, and pays the salaries of teachers in two of those communities. It also provides a medical assistance program to the local people. And most of the staff has been recruited from the area.
Unique Qualities: Guests at Sacha Lodge stay in one of 26 rooms in 13 thatched cabins set among the jungle vegetation. Rooms are equipped with electricity (the lodge has two diesel generators), hot water, flush toilets, safes, and ceiling fans. All rooms are screened against insects, but are otherwise open to the jungle, so guests fall asleep to the sounds of the forest.
Meals are taken buffet-style in the main lodge (which has a well-stocked bar), and lunch and supper are announced with a bamboo horn.
Treated water is available in the main lodge and is safe to drink. The water in the rooms is not treated, so it is not safe to drink, but is fine for showering.
