June E-mini S&Ps (ESM13 +0.11%) this morning are up +2.25 points (+0.14%) at a new record high. The S&P 500 index on Tuesday climbed to a new record high and settled higher after gains in housing prices and consumer confidence offset an unexpected drop in the Apr Chicago PMI.

June 10-year T-note futures prices on Tuesday posted a new contract high and the 10-year T-note yield fell to a 4-1/2 month low of 1.636%, but prices fell back and closed slightly lower as stock market strength sapped the safe-haven demand for Treasuries. The main bullish factors were a lack of wage pressures after the Q1 employment cost index rose a smaller-than-expected +0.3%, versus expectations of +0.5%, along with concern the economy is slowing after the Apr Chicago PMI unexpectedly contracted at a 3-year low of 49.0. Closes: TYM3 -3.0, FVM3 -0.25.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.33%) this morning is down -0.150 (-0.18%) at a new 2-month low. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0030 (+0.23%) at a 2-week high and USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.09 (+0.09%). The dollar index on Tuesday dropped to a 2-month low after an unexpected contraction in the Apr Chicago PMI fueled speculation the Fed will maintain or even expand its dollar-negative QE3 program following Wednesday's FOMC meeting. EUR/USD posted a 2-week high on speculation that a forecasted rate cut Thursday by the ECB will spur economic growth in the Eurozone. USD/JPY fell to 2-week low as the yen strengthened after Japan's Mar jobless rate unexpectedly declined -0.1to a 4-1/3 year low of 4.1%. Closes: Dollar index -0.401 (-0.49%), EUR/USD +0.0069 (+0.53%), USD/JPY -0.318 (-0.33%).
June WTI crude oil (CLM13 -1.35%) this morning is down -1.31 (-1.40%) and June gasoline (RBM13 -1.43%) is down -0.393 (-1.40%). June crude oil and gasoline on Tuesday closed lower. Bearish factors included the unexpected contraction in the Apr Chicago PMI to a 3-year low, which raises demand concerns, and expectations for Wednesday's EIA weekly inventories to show a +1.1 million barrel increase in crude stockpiles to a 22-3/4 year high. Closes: CLM3 -1.04 (-1.10%), RBM3 -0.0200 (-0.71%).

The California State Athletic Commission has surprisingly ruled that Nick Diaz will not be permitted to fight at this weekend's Elite Xtreme Combat and Strikeforce co-promoted "Shamrock vs Cung Le" show, which will take place at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
Why? Well it depends who you ask. While MMA Weekly first broke the news late last night, Sherdog has since learned that there is quite the discrepancy as to why Diaz will not be competing.
According to CSAC Executive Officer Armando Garcia, Diaz failed to submit medical papers in time.
"He did not turn in his medical information in time for the fight," Garcia told Sherdog's Josh Gross. "They were just turned in today."
EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw says different. According to Shaw, the issue has nothing to do with a deadline for Diaz's medical papers and everything to do with the fact that the Stockton, California native owns a medical marijuana card, stemming from Diaz's case of Attention Deficit Disorder.
"He never mentioned anything about late medicals," said Shaw. "And if there were late medicals it wasn't because of Nick Diaz and it wasn't because of EliteXC. Nick does what you ask him, and you punish him? It's like if you have a Ferrari and a police officer gives you a speeding ticket before you turn the key."
Diaz's adventures with marijuana have gotten him in trouble before. After submitting former PRIDE lightweight champion Takanori Gomi in April of last year, Diaz's enormous upset was changed to a no-contest after the Nevada State Athletic Commission found that the amount of marijuana in Diaz's system during the fight gave him a competitive advantage.
Drew Fickett, who was originally slated to take on Jake Shields for the EliteXC welterweight title before Shields suffered a back injury during training, will now step in and take on Diaz's scheduled opponent, Jae Suk Lim.

Nick Diaz and Gilbert Melendez, who will both be competing at the upcoming Elite Xtreme Combat and Strikeforce co-promoted "Shamrock vs Cung Le", which take place on March 29th at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, both apparently have new information concerning their opponents.
MMA Weekly originally reported that Melendez, who has been advertised as competing in DREAM's upcoming lightweight grand prix, would not be fighting overseas and would in fact defend his Strikeforce lightweight title against Chute Boxe coach Cristiano Marcello instead. The news came from the mouth of Marcello himself.
Now our friends at MMA Junkie are reporting through Strikeforce vice-president Mike Afromowitz that the fight was never signed and an official opponent for Melendez could be named as soon as this afternoon.
Melendez was originally scheduled to defend his title against Josh Thompson and then Bodog star Jorge Masvidal but both were forced to pull out because of injury.
Diaz will reportedly take on a recently victorious Jae Suk Lim, who won the SpiritMC middleweight title for a second time with a decisive win over top prospect Yoon Young Kim last Sunday.
The news comes from GracieFighter, a site maintained by Diaz's coach, Cesar Gracie, even though Lim stated after his win over Kim that he would fighting inside the confines of ICON Sport in his next bout.
Diaz has not fought since being upset by KJ Noons in a bid for the vacant EliteXC lightweight title.
During his time off, Diaz underwent plastic surgery to repair a large amount of scar tissue that developed around his eyes. The scar tissue certainly factored into his loss to Noons as the fight was stopped because of several cuts Diaz had suffered on his face.

Nick Diaz has now been added to the upcoming Elite Xtreme Combat and Strikeforce co-promoted "Shamrock vs Cung Le", which take place on March 29th at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
The news comes from GracieFighter, which also reports that Diaz's scheduled bout against ShoXC prospect Muhsin Corbbrey was cancelled. No word as of yet as to why the fight was scrapped.
Former UFC middleweight champion Frank Shamrock and undefeated former kickboxer Cung Le will meet in an anticipated middleweight bout that will headline the card.

An opponent for Diaz is expected to be announced in the coming days.
Touch of gloves to Five Ounces of Pain for the find.
As I'm sure regular visitors to this site have noticed, we haven't had many updates since Saturday afternoon. A combination of David moving, others not being around, and myself coming down with the flu attributed to that. However fear not as we're back in business. So here's us playing catch-up once again, hopefully for the last time in a long time.
UFC 81 Generates Approximately 650,000 Buys
UFC 81: Breaking Point, which featured Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira defeating former two-time champion Tim Sylvia to win the interim UFC heavyweight belt and fellow former heavyweight title holder Frank Mir submitting one-time professional wrestler and WWE superstar Brock Lesnar, generated close to 650,000 PPV buys according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer.
In my interview at Jarry Park leading up to UFC 81, I mentioned that the UFC would likely be pleased with the amount of buys the event would generate, mostly because of the mainstream popularity of Lesnar from his various ventures in professional sports. It turns out UFC 81 will now rank as the third-highest-grossing event in UFC history.
Future Fights Galore!
A good amount of upcoming fights have been revealed over the past few days. Lightweights Jeremy Stephens and Terry Etim will meet at UFC 84 in May according to MMA Junkie, who confirmed that both fighters have agreed to sign bout agreements. Five Ounces of Pain has learned that Doug Evans has been released from the UFC and has signed on with EliteXC, who will pit him against Wilson Reis in his debut in April.
Gracie Fighter has announced that Nate Diaz has been added to UFC Fight Night 13 on April 2nd, making that an unheard of eleven total fights on that card. MMA Junkie says that he's expected to face Kurt Pellegrino. Major props are in order to our friends at Fightlinker, who have reportedly successfully petitioned to have Spike TV increase the broadcast time of the event from two hours to three.
Nick Diaz will return to action against Muhsin Corbbrey according to Five Ounces of Pain. Don't believe what "Babalu" says, Tito Ortiz-Ryoto Machida is still on according to Ed Soares, who serves as Machida's manager. Chris Fries of TAGG Radio's Lights Out Show confirmed that the fight was still a go with Soares earlier today.
More Randomness
Wanderlei Silva says that he would consider a drop down to middleweight in order to rematch Dan Henderson. Denis Kang tells The Fight Network that he will participate in DREAM's middleweight grand prix in April. Gracie Mag has details about the first toxicology report released concerning Ryan Gracie's death. Paul Buentello tells MMA Weekly that he wants Kimbo Slice.
Next month's showdown between Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva will finally answer the age-old question that has been haunting the minds of MMA fans for years as to who would win between the two if they ever fought.
The winner of the fight will receive a huge momentum boost going into the twlight of their career. The loser? Well they will have lost three fights in a row. The list of fighters that have lost three fights in a row is astounding in terms of size. The list of notable fighters that have dropped three straight bouts is pretty big as well.
So what does it take to come back from nearly falling into obscurity? Here's a look at some well-known fighters that came out on the wrong end of the stick three or more consecutive times and managed to turn things around and get back on the winning track.
Hermes Franca: After a stint where he went 2-2 in the UFC, Franca left the promotion to try and work on his skills in smaller promotions before returning to the big show. However Franca ended up dropping three consecutive fights to Yves Edwards, Koutetsu Boku, and Ray Cooper before the end of 2005. Franca rebounded with an 8 fight winning streak and found himself challenging Sean Sherk for the UFC Lightweight Title this past July.
Nick Diaz: After knocking out touted prospect Robbie Lawler at UFC 47, Diaz found himself being advertised as the future of the UFC's welterweight division. Diaz ended up struggling for the rest of his UFC career and ultimately lost three straight fights to top competition in Sherk, Joe Riggs, and Diego Sanchez before finding himself out of a Zuffa-owned promotion. Diaz was brought back towards the end of 2006 for two fairly easy fights but ended up heading to PRIDE where he pulled off a huge upset over Takanori Gomi before the fight was changed to a no contest.
Tengiz Tedoradze:The Eastern Europe native became one of England's top heavyweight prospects by 2004. Tedoradze then ran into a brick wall when he lost to Jeff Monson, Antonio Silva, and then Monson once again in three straight fights. Tedoradze turned his fortunes around by racking up a respectable 10-2-1 record while establishing himself as the best fighter over 205 lbs that the U.K. has to offer.
Mark Coleman: Coleman tore through the UFC in his first six fights, knocking off Gary Goodridge, Don Frye, and Dan Severn along the way. Then Coleman gassed in a heavyweight title opportunity against Maurice Smith. The infamous knockout at the hands of Pete Williams followed and a decision loss to Pedro Rizzo forced Coleman to travel to Japan in hopes of jumpstarting his career. "The Hammer" did just that when he won the 2000 PRIDE Grand Prix in impressive fashion.
Denis Kang: Kang struggled greatly in the first few years of his career and dropped three straight fights to mediocre competition at one point. Kang's inconscitency continued until he found himself at home in Spirit MC where he became the promotion's heavyweight champion. Two years later Kang found himself nearly becoming PRIDE Welterweight Grand Prix champion and currently is widely regarded as one of the top middleweights in the world by many.
Chael Sonnen:Sonnen had acquired a solid reputation as being a skilled middleweight during the first couple years of his career that found fighting mainly on the West Coast for the most part. The Team Quest product ended up losing three fights in a row in 2004, two of them to MMA veteran Jeremy Horn. Sonnen rebounded and worked his way into a stint in the UFC. Undefeated since leaving the home of the Octagon last year, Sonnen now finds himself challenging an undefeated Paulo Filho for the WEC Middleweight Title on December 12th.
Dennis Hallman: The man they nicknamed "Superman" had racked up an eye-opening record of 10-1 before falling to a trio of creditable middleweights in the form of Caol Uno, Paul Rodriguez, and eventual UFC Middleweight Champion Dave Menne in sequential bouts. Hallman ended up turning things around and ended up putting together a respectable career that included three separate stints in the UFC and was highlighted by the second of two quick submission wins over Matt Hughes.
Nick Diaz will undergo plastic surgery to repair a large amount of scar tissue that has developed around his eyes according to Brian Knapp of The Fight Network.
Las Vegas-based plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Stile will perform the surgery according to Diaz training partner Kit Cope:
"We're going to get his eyes fixed up," Cope said. "There's something they can do to actually fix the scars that makes them a lot smaller. [Stile is] going to have him fixed up so he doesn't split open so easy. We're going to go ahead and do that, have another warm-up fight and then come back and snag the title back that belongs to him."
The scar tissue around Diaz's eyes certainly factored into his recent loss to K.J. Noons at EliteXC: Renegade this past weekend when the fight was stopped because of several cuts Diaz had suffered on his face.
On a night when Kimbo Slice made his eagerly awaited professional Mixed Martial Arts debut, KJ Noons stole the show with a shocking first-round TKO over heavily-favored Nick Diaz to capture the EliteXC lightweight world championship Saturday on Showtime
The event, which took place at The American Bank Center Arena, was presented by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, and aired on Showtime at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).
In other televised bouts, world-ranked Jake Shields, who signed a long term deal with EliteXC late Friday, earned his ninth win a row with a hard-fought first round submission (rear naked choke) over Mike Pyle, come backing super heavyweight sensation Antonio "Big Foot" Silva won his first fight in nine months via an opening-round submission (rear naked choke) over Jonathan Wiezorek and Kyle Noke, the bodyguard of the late "Crocodile Hunter," Steve Irwin, took his EliteXC debut with a second-round TKO over "Dr.'' Seth Kleinbeck due to orbital cut.
With the exception of Diaz-Noons, which was scheduled for five, 5-minute rounds, the fights were three, 5-minute rounds.
"This was a terrific show for EliteXC, Showtime, and the fans in attendance,'' Shaw said. "It is unfortunate that the Noons-Diaz fight had to be stopped, but fans need to understand that doctors stop fights for the health and safety of the fighters.
"KJ was simply outstanding. He is the No. 1 lightweight in the world. He beat the guy who was considered the best lightweight, so he is No. 1. Kimbo showed that he is going to be a superstar. I believe we've got the best heavyweight in the world in Silva and the best welterweight in the world in Shields. They are going to be world champions. Noke was impressive against a tough fighter.
"All and all, it was a great night.''

Handling Consumer Debt
If you want to get out of debt, there isn't just one way. There are many ways to approach this. That may make it seem somewhat confusing, but it is actually a very good thing because you can find something that fits and that provides a solution to the problems that you are going through.
The main thing, though, is that you investigate a number of these methods and choose the one that seems best to suit your own particular situation in life. Then you will be on your way to eliminating that debt you carry on your shoulders. Once that happens you have a new lease on life and can get on with being productive and making a profit for yourself. One of the key methods for relieving yourself of this overwhelming debt is the process of debt counseling. However, you need to qualify for this, meaning that there are certain criteria that you need to meet if this is going to work well for you. Here we will tell you more about how to tell if it is a good way for you to go.
One big reason to go into debt counseling is if you know you can not find the will power to spend and save your money wisely on your own. You have to understand your own tendencies, and debt counseling can help you with this. It can also go further, into debt management, which helps you structure a repayment plan that works for you. The debt counseling you sign up for should be at no cost to you. However, if you move into debt management, understand that a fee will often be charged. This should be under $50 a month, which is affordable for a lot of folks, but just make sure that you can afford this type of professional fee before you sign up.
This is a good idea if you have the money to pay your debts but need the repayment schedule to be stretched over a longer period of time. This will make your debt repayment amounts smaller and give you some space to breathe and to get caught up with your obligations. Your balance, however, remains the same.
You may need to pursue another option if you require more help than this. It is also wise to pursue this course of action when you want the least negative impact to be made on your credit score. That is especially true if you own a business and will need a loan or are hoping to start some sort of business venture that will require people to be checking out your credit score. If you are sure you want to go in this direction, the next thing to do is to select an agency that can help you.
But there is a note of caution that needs to be stated here. Be wary of scammers. They exist everywhere but certainly in this area of life. Understand the difference between legitimate and grandiose claims. Check out the Telemarketing Sales Rule. And realize that what sounds too good to be true often is, so proceed with caution. And you need to realize that you should never be asked for money upfront when you are considering one of these debt relief programs. There is a solution for your money problems, whether you need help with making a budget, sticking to it, lowering your balance, or making smaller monthly payments.
If you are sincerely interested in improving your financial standing by lowering the amount of debt you carry, then there is going to be help for you out there. Just take the steps you need to take slowly and carefully and you will be on your way to solvency and even wealth at some point in the future.
Consumer Mailing Lists
When you own a business, whether it sells to customers or to other businesses, you want the word to get out there about the product or service that you offer. One of the best means of accomplishing this is through a mailing list. But it has to be a high quality mailing list or having one at all is of no use to you.
A high quality mailing list has to meet some specific guidelines. First and foremost, it needs to be targeted to the audience that you are trying your best to reach. And you want a clean list, one that is targeted to the right people and that does not contain the names of people who are no longer interested or who have gone through a transition that takes them from your reach. Having a mailing list that is both targeted and clean is not really a difficult endeavor. It actually can be quite simple to accomplish. However, you are going to need some help with this if it is going to happen. That is what these guidelines are for, and we can help you here in developing a good quality mailing list.
To start with, you are probably going to want to buy a good list from a vendor who sells these. However, all vendors are not created equal, so that means it is important for you to select a reputable vendor. There are questions to ask before you commit to such a purchase to ensure that you get what you need and want. So ask any potential vendors that you are considering a few questions such as those that follow. You need to find out whether or not the names and addresses you get from this vendor are going to be accurate ones. You also need to find out the kind of data that you can get and whether or not you can have the list customized to suit your particular business requirements.
Naturally, targeting is going to be very important. For instance, you may want a list that is only sent to families. But that can be further targeted to include only the names and the addresses of families with children under a certain age or that have a particular income level because your product or service requires that. Segmentation is also crucial in many cases. A segment is a specific part, and your list needs to be divided into specific parts. You will probably want one part of your list that you can call on to send a message to a group of consumers and another part directed at corporate clientele, for instance. It is not enough to just have or develop a list and then use it forever.
It needs to be kept current and to be purged at regular intervals. Changes are going to happen, and you want to know about them and make the updates. For instance, company mailing lists are going to change as staff members get promoted or leave for other jobs. Other changes have to do with people moving, getting new contact information, or even dying. Sometimes cleansing needs to be done, though, just because there are duplicate names. If you are sending out duplicate mailings you are definitely wasting your own time and money so you'll want to make sure that things are in order.
If you purchase a good quality, clean list and then do your due diligence in cleaning it up and keeping it updated constantly, then you are going to be assured that your advertising and promotional materials are getting to their intended market. That means you have a head start in ensuring that people know who you are and what you can do for them.
Consumer Issues When It Comes To Processing Credit Cards
The biggest issue the majority of people have with credit card processing is the concern that their identity will be compromised because of security problems. When we use our credit cards to pay for goods and services, the last thing we want to worry about is whether we are going to be having long lasting problems because someone got hold of our information. The companies have been working on security, and it is generally very good.
However, there is a problem when the terminal that is processing the credit card lets information pass through without a sufficient amount of encryption. When that happens, it lets a thief get hold of your data and that can mean major problems. People also take issue with the fact that, by using their credit card, they will be charged more for the same item than someone else who is paying with cash. That is illegal, of course, although it is true that a flat fee can be charged to someone who is paying their bill for an item with their credit card.
The reason that it is legal to charge a flat fee for those paying with a credit card has to do with the fact that the store is going to have a lag time in getting their money this way. It could be as much as a month before the store in question will be able to recoup the money from the credit card company for the item you have purchased. You can contrast that with the lack of lag time that a business has when someone buys a good or a service with actual cash. Then the payment is immediate. And even if you give a check to a business in payment, then that business is only going to have to wait about two or three days to get their money from the bank.
Another issue that worries consumers is that they wonder if people who are standing close to them when they are making a transaction can read their information in such a way as to be able to use it against them. However, this is easily remedied. No one whom you do not know should be standing that close. That means it is your responsibility to have enough street smarts to look around you whenever you take that credit card out of your wallet. If someone is right behind you and looking over your shoulder, then you absolutely have the right to move away or to ask the other person to step back. You might even want to postpone your purchase. But of course the clerks at the counter or at the register are also human beings, and we worry that they might make bad use of the information we give them.
There have actually been cases where this has happened so it is a serious concern. However, that usually happened a few years ago under a different system. There were card readers in the old days that required that a paper transaction slip be generated and half of the slip was left at the store after you took your half and went home. This is no longer the case since there is electronic processing that's been developed over the past few years and no paper trail exists that can be misused. There has been an additional change for the better these days, too. Most transactions nowadays require that a pin number be entered.
This provides a safeguard. There also has to be a three digit code given from the back of the card when a transaction is being made online or over the phone. So there are lots of reasons today to understand that credit cards are more secure than ever before.

Alright…this is downright awesome.
Thursday morning, after naming Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer the Cy Young Award winner for their respective leagues the day before, the official Twitter account of Major League Baseball posted some mock ups of what could be a pretty sweet prize…their own championship belts.
Kershaw's belt features the likeness of the Los Angeles Dodgers ace and the team's logo. Naturally, Scherzer's is similar, just swap out the "LA" with the Detroit Tigers' old English "D".
But this is where it gets cool.

Yup, you read that right…WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon is offering up legit championship belts to both pitchers. And here, I thought David Ortiz showing up at the Boston Red Sox rolling rally with John Cena's belt was badass.

Cumbria and Appleby's Very Own Independent Wine Shop & Bar
Nigel has always had a keen interest in wine and did not take any persuasion to run the wine lists in our two restaurants. He has been importing wine now for some 10 years both for his own cellar and for the hotels and it is a natural progression to have a wine shop. He is very keen to do alot more importing and expand what we offer.
The ethos behind the shop is to offer wines, spirits and gifts that you cannot get elsewhere, particularly at a supermarket! At prices that offer value for money. To this end we make our own pickles, marmalade, jams and christmas puddings, and stock a range of wines at all price levels. We have a constantly changing range of special offers at all price levels. Our gift boxes make special presents perhaps for your host on a fishing or shooting trip. We stock the unusual from the very best sherries from Lustau, to rare old Bas Armagnacs from Gascogny and the very finest grappa from Italy.
Some quality wines to consider as a present or just for yourself!!!!

Marqués de Riscal, Rioja Baron de Chirel 2005 £44.95
Tempranillo with 15% Cabernet. In 66% French and 34% American oak for 24 months. Smoky, lightly charry notes but it is the fruit that drives this wine, with bold, sweet, cassis and hints of cocoa and mint, but tightly-wound and muscular fruit, with a meatiness and a tobacco touch. The palate has lovely silkiness and very pure fruit on the palate, with very smoky and silky tannins, but in the finish the fruit is what persists through the spicy, espresso touches. Gamey and rich, with good fruit.
2014 Greywacke, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc £17.95
'Like opening a bag of tree-ripened nectarines' (Kevin Judd) Deliciously aromatic with a spicy twist and a zesty grapefruit hint. The palate is succulent and tangy – long and concentrated, finishing with a hint of flinty minerality. Producer, Kevin Judd is one of Marlborough's pioneer winemakers; born in England he grew up in Australia where he studied winemaking at the prestigious Roseworthy College. He moved to New Zealand in 1983 and was the founding winemaker at Cloudy Bay where he remained for 25 years. Greywacke is his own Marlborough label and the fulfilment of a long held dream. Grapes are sourced from his own Greywacke Vineyard (named after the grey clay/sandstone river rocks). All wines are personally made by Kevin Judd.
We are very excited to offer a specially made range of high quality sherries from Sanchez Romato in half bottles especially keeping things fresh. Whether you like a dry aperitif whilst you are feeling inspired in the kitchen or like to indulge yourself with some Pedro Ximenez poured over ice cream, do give these a try you will not be disappointed.
Fino Sanches Romato, Jerez 37.5cl £5.95
Pale straw in colour with intense yet delicate aromas of fresh bread and almonds. The palate is light, fresh and bone-dry. Food Notes, olives, shellfish (crab, cockles, langoustines), cured meats, sushi, garlicky snails, baked fish, clams in a white wine sauce...

Buses to Cambutal.
Currently, there is bus service to Tonosi from Panama City, the main bus terminal at Albrook.
It is only three times a day, but saves one from having to change buses in Las Tablas. The bus from Panama City to Las Tablas is $8 and you have to then walk about a mile or take a cab to the other, local bus terminal to get the bus to Tonosi. Not all buses to Las Tablas are touring buses, some are coaster buses and have limited storage space for luggage and surf boards. The buses to Tonosi from Las Tablas are really minivans and are even more limited in storage area, so you may want to opt to take the bus to Tonosi from Panama City, even if you have to wait a while.
It costs $11 each way Panama City to Tonosi. Be advised these are coaster buses, not the big tour buses so they are not real comfy and have limited storage if you have a lot of luggage or surf boards. They may not take them if they don't have space and force you to ship them down.
Once in Tonosi, you can take the bus to Cambutal which will take you to Los Buzos, which runs a few times a day and costs $2 per person, each way. Or you can take a cab from Tonosi to Los Buzos for about $15.
How to get to Los Buzos
To drive to Los Buzos Resort it takes about 6 hours (and when one gets below Las Tablas or Pedasí, the roads are not in good shape all the way to Tonosí! The road below Las Tablas to Tonosi is fine the first 18 miles then it is very rough into Tonosi, then it is in very good condition, again, to Los Buzos. If one goes through Pedasi, it is about the same, the road is very rough about half way to Canas until one reaches Tonosi.
If you don´t want to drive from Panama City to Los Buzos, Los Buzos offers charter air sevice from Panama City (Marcos Gelabert Airport - FKA - Albrook AFB). It takes about an hour and cost is about $250 per person, round trip. It may be less depending on if the charter takes passengers to Pedasí as well. Los Buzos will pick you up in Tonosí and bring you to the resort as there is no other transportation that regularly goes to Los Buzos.
The Los Buzos sign is actually in Cambutal, one has to travel another 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) to get to Los Buzos Resort!
Another option is that we have two businesses that will chaufer you here for $200-400, round trip, depending on what you have to bring, if you have surfboards or lots of fishing tackle, they charge more. They drop you off and pick you up on the day you leave.

The basic function of this formula is addressing swollen tissues thanks to its diuretic functions. These actions are also being touted as a safe and effective weight management herbal formula.When joints are surrounded by stagnant fluids, the flow of qi and blood through these areas is compromised and that's what causes pain and neuralgia (pins and needles sensations). Hence, the goal of this formula is to regulate the body fluids to improve the flow of qi and blood. These herbs aren't known to be directly analgesic, but they are all about the metabolism of water in the body. Because of the added quantity of water in the body, sensations of heaviness and fatigue are common.This formula is encouraged for those with a delicate constitution. Images at EagleHerbs.com associated with this body-type tend to be slender, however there are plenty of overweight or obese individuals who are just as delicate as those who lack enough body weight. This formula is really well suited to those who are delicate and overweight as they have a higher incidence of edema or swelling in the knees or intestines.Stephania and Astragalus Combination (Fang Ji Huang Qi Tang) is a well-balanced formula that regulates the body's fluid metabolism from all three sources of fluids according to Chinese medical theory.The upper source of fluids is the Lungs. When the Lungs are imbalanced, the outcome is "superficial edema" meaning excessive fluids just beneath the skin. In this formula, Huang Qi (Astragalus) regulates the Lung function.The middle source of fluids is the Spleen. When the Spleen and its partner organ (the Stomach) are out of balance, the outcome can be excessive abdominal fluids or edema. In this formula, the Spleen and Stomach are regulated by Bai Zhu (Atractylodes), Zhi Gan Cao (Honey baked Licorice root), and Sheng Jiang (Ginger root).The lower source of fluids is the Kidneys. When the Kidneys and its partner organ (the Bladder) are imbalanced, the outcome is edema in the knees and legs. In this formula, Han Fang ji (Stephania) regulates the functions of these organs to maintain appropriate fluid metabolism.IngredientsHan Fang Ji 漢防己 stephania root Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae [safety note]Bai Zhu 白术 , bai shu ovate atractylodes, (white) atractylodes rhizome [supports pregnancy]These two herbs support healthy fluid metabolism in the knees, joints, and entire body.

This herb is really beneficial to the (Chinese medicine) functions of the Lungs. The Lungs are said to be the "upper source" of water in the body. When the Lungs work correctly, it allows fluids to be properly distributed and then excreted.The pattern that this formula is best suited to can also produce spontaneous sweating or a tendency to sweat very easily, even in the absence of emotional stress or physical activity. This particular herb is used to strengthen the "wei qi" which is the qi that controls the opening and closing of the skin pores, thus regulating the sweat glands. This wei qi is also said to warm and protect one from wind. When there's a lack of wei qi, there is an aversion to wind or drafts.Zhi Gan Cao 炙甘草 licorice root Radix Glycyrrhizae prep.

Skip to comments.Stephanopoulos Gloats: Will My Interview With New Accuser 'Spell the End' for Cain?
Posted on 12/01/2011 7:49:52 AM PST by Cheerio
George Stephanopoulos, who as a Democratic operative in the '90s coordinated with ABC to save Bill Clinton from scandal, on Wednesday teased an exclusive with Herman Cain's accuser, openly gloating, "Will our interview spell the end of the one-time front-runner's presidential bid?" [MP3 audio here. ]
(Excerpt) Read more at mrc.org ...
George might be right, seeing as he has a legion of gleeful little RINOs helping him ruin Cain's chances.
Not unless she's offering up recordings of phone conversations and copies of text messages! WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE?????
Georgie Steponallofus was hired as a DNC hitman operative and he's merely doing his job as hired. The accusations are being trumped up by the axelgreasy hit squad and littleman steffy is doing as he's been told to do. No integrity there, never was.
Some of the best proof of all that the MSM is nowhere near a deathwatch as is continually posted here at FR. They are powerful. When one falls, two more take its place.
This is enough to cause me to send Mr. Cain another donation. I can't stand "...your Christian faith..." Stephenapolous or whatever.
Unless something new and extremely convincing comes out in the interview, Steffy's presence in this can only help Cain.
However, this has become a serious distraction to the point where 999 has become a distant memory, along with all his other political plans.
Unless he can somehow put it to bed, he's in for trouble.
Oh, I thought this was something new. I've read this entire interview before.
However, if she has a way of proving that there were texts and phone calls FROM Cain and not just TO him, it doesn't look good.
Steffi is just a media leech.
little greek butt boy for zer0 happy to move America deeper into Marxism....
Cain was featured on Fox news this morning stating his intention to 'reassess' his campaign and saying that he will decide within a week.
It's your money, but I would hold off until he decides, you may need your money for another candidate.
Or help Romney's as Cain dropping out would cause most of his support to split between Bachmann and Santorum.
In the article she says that when you have an 'affair' like this - you don't keep receipts or gifts.
This makes me believe that she has no proof!
Somebody please squash this little creep. Like a bug.
Meanwhile, my first contribution to the Cain campaign is on its way.
So there, Steffi.
Hmmm This smells like Obozo character assassination tactics.
You know what that means.
Cain's lawyer has asked for copies of texts and cell phone records; glad he's playing hardball on this.
Why would a lezbo tell her girlfriend she's doing a guy?
Wouldn't that be like me telling Mrs JohnnyP I have a girl on the side?
I don't believe her anyway, just sayin'.
Let's not forget that this is the little castrati sleaze-ball creep that handled the "bimbo eruptions" for the Clinton White House.
they moved it???
its been so long.
So now we have clear proof the Democrat machine is trying to destroy a black man. Surprise, surprise. /sarc
You will be a laughing stock when your prized interviewee is exposed (by national media) for her recent libel suit because she spread lies in anger. She admitted it even, ON COURT RECORD.
So go ahead you little turd.
Bullcrap!! She's lying through her teeth. If she had an affair with any man for 13 years, it wasn't something casual, and she would have kept some mementos.
Would you believe the part where she lost a court case from telling lies, and admitted in court that she did so out of spite?
Yeh I'd like to see a couple of those text messages myself. What if they just say something like. "Ginger I'm trying to get some money to help you pay your rent so you don't get kicked out on the street" or " Ginger I am trying to get you a job interview with the restautant Assoc." Thats so evil.
What a disgusting puke of an excuse for a human being.
I read the Examiner.com article linked to a post on FR last night about her and Vay having a lesbian relationship. When I attempted to access the page again this morning to forward it to a fellow Freeper, the link didn't work. Then I tried to access the original post on FR, and I got a message that the thread had been deleted at the request of the poster because the link no longer worked. When I did an internet search for Ginger White and Vay, I found the link to the original ABC story, which is word for word of the one the FR thread had been linked to, except that there was no reference to any lesbian affair. So at this time, although I'd like it to be true to damage Cain's accuser, I'm thinkin' the lesbian story was a bunch of hooey.
NOT ONLY THAT, but as I opined yesterday, you can NOT have a 13-year "Affair" and keep it completely quiet/private.
NOW, she claims Cain took on business trip(S) and even to the "Mike Tyson/Holyfield fight in Las Vegas!"
I know that it is not as rare as it used to be, to see a black man out with a white woman, but Cain was also well known and someone is going to try and tell me that NO ONE, could/can remember seeing the 2 together at such a highly publicized (and attended) event???
Give me an F'n break already.
Show us the Gifts!
Name the places you stayed (and when) while on those business trip?
This one (with these "allegations") should be a piece of cake to PROVE, if (and that's a big IF) the corrupt, biased, FAR LEFT, Lame Stream Media really wanted to, but methinks they can not, thus will not look into this, cuz, it is "NEVER about the 'NATURE OF THE EVIDENCE' it is is ALWAYS about the 'SERIOUSNESS OF THE CHARGE'," that matters and "taking Cain out" is all they are concerned with and so far, they are succeeding in what "they" (whomever) set out to do.
I think (that though a public figure and not an attorney) this accusation (if false and done malisciously) appears to rise above the protection against slander and transcends those boundaries, thus I hope he sues her fat a$$!!!
George Snuffleupagus , Democrat operative? Is that the politically correct term now for dumbass?
The only MSM "journalist" that requires a footstool rather than kneepads.
I agree, it's hard to have a 13 year affair without someone being aware of your tracks. So, Snuffleupaguss (BTW, I ran into him at Reagan Airport once, he's a short little sh*t), WHERE'S THE EVEIDENCE?
So...the examiner pulls their story (which can still be seen in google's cache) which was in part based on an ABCs story (which can still be seen in google's cache) and because both of these sources pulled their articles you think it's evidence that the story IS NOT TRUE? I really don't understand your logic.
The fight happened 14 years ago.
We debunked this last night. The original ABC story had a very poorly worded sentence, which was misconstrued by that Examiner.com write (Newby) to say White and Vay were lesbian lovers.
Someone obviously got wind of this at Examiner.com and the story was replaced by an edited version which scrubbed the reference to the lesbian affair.
