Want to know our pick for the BEST HOT SPRINGS in Costa Rica?
It is featured on DIY Costa Rica!
Travelling throughout Costa Tica on a budget? Don't miss the free local hot springs while in La Fortuna!
Let me start by explaining that there are countless hot spring options in La Fortuna/Arenal – many of which are worth the entrance fee. Baldi hot springs, Ecotermales hot springs, the Springs Resort hot springs (Los Perdidos), the Tabacon hot springs, Titoku (Arenal Kioro's hot springs), Los Laureles hot springs, Los Lagos' hot springs, and the Paradise hot springs attract the majority of visitors and each site offers travellers a different experience. One of the most frequent questions we receive at Pura Vida! eh? Incorporated asks us which hot springs option is the best and why (for our answer please see our related blog post: The Best Hot Springs In La Fortuna / Arenal, Costa Rica: Baldi, Ecotermales, Tabacon, Or The Springs Resort?). Specifically, this post targets those who are looking to access thermal waters on a backpacker's budget – a Costa Rica travel tip to help travellers stick to their shoestring!
As locals, the free hot springs is one of our favourite spots. The water flows from the same river that passes through the Tabacon Resort, however the water can be accessed outside the boundaries of the hotel (saving visitors the entrance fee). Of course, this small hot springs spot located outside of the hotel pales in comparison to the beauty of the hot springs found inside the Tabacon grounds, but for those who are willing to sacrifice this quality simply for the basic experience (and to appease the budget), the mini-Tabacon is all you really need.
The Tabacon Resort is located approximately 10-15 minutes outside of downtown La Fortuna. A taxi is required (unless you have rented your own vehicle) to visit the free hot springs. If you are driving yourself to the site, head out from downtown La Fortuna on the main road towards the volcano. Keep driving for about 10 minutes past all of the hotels and resorts on both sides of the road until you find the Tabacon Resort on your right. Just past the resort on the left will be the Tabacon hot springs entrance. Just after this entrance you will see parking available on both sides of the street (and by parking, I mean Costa Rican parking, which is simply a strip of flattened land where drivers can pull over on the side of the road where there is space). Park here. Alternatively, if you take a taxi to the site, ask the driver to take you to the Tabacon Resort hot springs entrance (not the hotel entrance, since the two are located in slightly different locations). Once at the Tabacon Resort hot springs entrance (whether you have driven yourself or arrived by taxi), cross over to the right-hand side of the road and follow the gravel path down into what looks like a forest (approximately 30 seconds). Once at the bottom of the path you will hear and see the flowing water from the hot springs. Although we do not recommend doing so (items should be left only at your own risk), you can leave your belongings such as clothes, shoes, at the base of the path. Be sure to change into your bathing suit before you leave your hotel since there is no place to change (no bathrooms either) at the free hot springs. Perhaps this goes without saying, but do not bring any valuables with you to the site since there is no secure place to leave them.
Once at the river, looking to the left you will see some larger rocks which you can climb up and over to access a big pool of water (do so carefully – these rocks are slippery!). The pool itself is the free hot springs – the left side is primarily hot water (heated by the volcano) and the right side is cooler (the product of regular river water running into and cooling the volcano-heated spring water). Enjoy!
QUESTION TO COMMENT ON: When travelling, what is a greater priority for you: quality of experience or budget?
Pura vida!

The PriMed, International Festival for Mediterranean Documentary and Current Affairs film is an international competition that takes place every year since 1994. It is designed for audiovisual productions in the specific area of documentary films, current affairs and investigation films dealing with issues of cultural Mediterranean area from the Atlantic coast to the shores of the Black Sea.
For its 16th edition which took place from 6 to 9 December 2011 in Marseille (France), PriMed juries awarded the following prizes:
Recently, PriMed launched a new website: http://primed.tv/?lang=en
The CMCA, Mediterranean Centre for Audiovisual Communication in Marseille, the main organizer of the event, has decided to create this new website to better present the actions of promotions of PriMed's films all year long. The captivating graphic design and the extreme facility of use guarantee a user-friendly navigation, in a Mediterranean style.
New technologies for integration of image and video, in line with the current development of web-documentaries, allowed to give more space for videos and to develop a new communication strategy based on visual communication.

SEnator John McCain once again insisted he knows the correct military strategy to "win the war in Afghanistan." He was reacting to comments by Barack Obama that we need to wind down the war in Iraq and concentrate on Afghanistan. For some reason, the senator from Arizona concluded Senator Obama believes we can not win in Afghanistan unless we lose in Iraq. In his usual boastful manner, McCain boasted, "I know how to win wars. And, if I'm elected president, will turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq with a comprehensive strategy for victory." He insisted the first step on the road to victory was dispatching three m ore brigades to Afghanistan. Senator McCain claims there is a "vast difference" between Obama's call for 10,000 more troops in Afghanistan and his own. We assume the difference is that McCain said we need more troops and when he says something, it means more than when anyone else says the same thing.
Senator McCain believes there is need to double the size of the Afghan army to 160,000. He promised the American people "I won't bluster, I won't make idle threats. But understand this, when I am commander-in-chief, there will be nowhere the terrorists can run and nowhere they can hide." He also assured one and all that Osama bin Laden would be captured by the former war hero.
Unfortunately, when rhetoric is laid aside, John McCain's strategy is no different than that of George Bush– a belief more troops will win the battle for Afghanistan. A Russian army of hundreds of thousands was forced to retreat from Afghanistan but McCain believes he knows how to avoid that fate. Afghanistan, unlike Iraq, contains formidable mountains which historically have been used by militants to fight governments. Senator McCain has no military strategy beyond bluster and buoyant cries he will win. Sorry, Senator McCain, saying something doesn't make it come true.
The war in Afghanistan requires a diplomatic component, an economic component, and a political component in addition to the military. Senator McCain simply does not grasp the complexity of what is required.

It is an optimistic man who opens his mirror shop in the midst of a one-sided and fragile ceasefire.
At his shop on Tuesday morning – an hour after Israel said it was pausing its assault on Gaza – Abdullah Sawafri, aged 62, was sitting outside with his glass cutting tools reading the Qur'an as Gaza's streets filled up in hope of an end to the current eight-day conflict.
"There have been no air strikes since nine this morning," he says, "so I'm optimistic. I haven't had any customers yet but I'm expecting people to call me to fix their broken windows."
Even as he speaks, a rocket flies overhead towards Israel underlining the fragility of the hoped-for cessation in violence. Israel's ceasefire ended a few short hours later when prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, ordered a resumption of attacks in response to ongoing missile fire from Gaza.
But for just under six hours, Gaza exhaled. Its streets filled up and bakeries, barbers, bike shops opened for business.
"I want peace," says Sawafri. "I'm exhausted by war. My own wish is not to see rockets fired from Gaza or fired at Gaza. We just want to live. We have been under siege for so long now that we can't live. What we need is peace and to be able to live like normal people."
At the UN, schools across northern Gaza – opened as refuges for those displaced by the last week of bombing and shelling – families who, only on Monday were carrying their belongings in, hitching their donkey and horse carts to the wall outside, were leaving on the promise of an end to the violence.
Among those leaving was Ahmed Zarteet, aged 23, who had come with 13 members of his family to a school in Jabaliya. Carrying three mattresses on his back out of the gate, he tied them to the roof of a yellow Mercedes taxi for the short ride to his home in Beit Lahia.
"I want to go back," he said, as his wife passed by carrying their small baby. "I want it to be over. But I want it to finish with the resistance's demands fulfilled: an end to the siege, a release of the prisoners and an opening of the crossings.
"Maybe it is finishing, maybe it will escalate. But we should finish with a strong resistance."
Da'a Musleh, aged 25, had taken her 20-month-old daughter Tala to the family's bakery in Gaza City's Nasser Street. A radio journalist who has not worked since the start of the conflict, she explained that Tala had been born a few weeks before the last conflict with Israel in 2012.
"When she was a little baby the sound of the bombs made her cry. Now the sound makes her run to me.
"This is the first time we've left the house in the last eight days. There are four of us in a tiny flat. Tala has been crying everyday that she wants to go out. I took her with me today so we could both come out and breathe for the first time.'

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate today made his first summer signing by clinching a £3.2million deal for Dutchman Marvin Emnes.
The 20-year-old Sparta Rotterdam player has signed a four-year deal after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
"We feel we have signed an exciting young player in Marvin," Southgate told the club's website, mfc.co.uk.
"Last season was his breakthrough year at Sparta Rotterdam and he ended the campaign with a flurry, scoring eight goals in his final 10 games.
"He can play anywhere across the front line, so he has versatility to go with pace, energy and technical skills.
"Marvin is very enthusiastic about coming to England and the challenge of Premier League football.
"He also fits the profile of the sort of players we want at Middlesbrough in that he is a young player with hunger, energy and pace."
Emnes is likely to be employed as an attacking midfielder by Boro as Southgate looks to improve the supply lines to the likes of record signing Afonso Alves and Turkey international Tuncay Sanli.
Fabio Rochemback's departure, along with that of Gaizka Mendieta, has depleted the club's midfield resources, and with uncertainty persisting over the futures of George Boateng and Gary O'Neil, the manager has drawn up a list of targets.
Paris St German's Didier Digard and Reading's James Harper remain in his sights, although the Frenchman has been suspended by his club over comments he made about the delay in his proposed move to Teesside.
However, Southgate was delighted to have made a breakthrough with Emnes after weeks of work behind the scenes.
He said: "There was a lot of interest in Marvin and I know that Ajax and Feyenoord were keen. But we got ahead of both to complete the signing of a player who I hope can excite our fans.
"He is just the sort of talented, young player that I feel we need to be attracting to the club, so I am delighted."
Rotterdam-born Emnes, a Holland Under-21 international, could join up with his new team-mates when they return for pre-season training on Monday.Reuse content

Narrowing Rearend for G body
I am narrowing the 8.8 that is in my 86 cutlass to fix the pinion offset. I have purchased an alignment bar with the appropriate hubs. These are the measurements I have taken so far.
Ford 8.8
*Total width was measured from axle flange to axle flange (where the brake rotor sits): Total Width: 59"
The distance from the housing flange where the brake assembly bolts to the housing to where the rotor actually sits is 2.5" per side. (Total 5")
The distance from the Driver side housing flange to the center of the pinion: 28 7/8"
The distance from the Passenger side housing flange to the center of the pinion: 25 1/8"
28.875"+25.125"+5"=59" So my math for total width checks out for the 8.8"
It also tells me that the difference between the two sides is 3.75". So the pinion is offset 1.875" to the passenger side from center?
GM 7.5" G-Body
Total width Measured same way as above: 57 5/8" (I have seen most sites say 75 1/2"? I imagine the 1/8" difference is negligible and probably human error?)
**Most sites I have seen say that the pinion is offset 1/2" to the passenger side on these stock G-body rearends.
I measured from the Center of the pinion nut to both the passenger and driver side axle flange where the brake drum sits:
Driver: 29 3/8"
Passenger 28 1/4"
Difference: 1.125 so 9/16"? (Pretty close to 1/2")
What do you guys think about cutting the 8.8 down to 58" (Slightly wider than the stock ~57.5") And then all I do is find the middle of the total distance and add a half inch to the driver side and subtract a half inch from the passenger side to get my 1/2" offset to the passenger side.
Ford 8.8
58" total length from axle flange to axle flange.
58"-5" = 53" from housing flange to housing flange.
Driver Side 27"
Passenger Side 26"
One inch difference between each side so 1/2" from the center. The only that will stink about this is that I will have to add some metal (7/8") to the passenger side but can be taken from the (1 7/8") I need to take out from the driver side.
This is my first time so let me know what you guys think that have done this before. I wanted to get some more opinions before I put the rearend under the chop saw.
I was also thinking since I need to get new axles why not get the c clip eliminators that replace the outer housing ends with the bigger 9" bearings. Im not quite sure how they work or if I will really benefit from them. With disc brakes the caliper will hold the wheel on if the axle brakes wont it?
Thanks for your input,
Oops. can a mod change the title to Narrowing Rearend for G-Body
Moser Engineering - Part # 7700 - 1979-2004 8.8" Mustang Non-C-Clip Housing Ends - Housing Ends - Assorted Parts
Use these housing ends if you want to use the Mustang brakes. Use the 7900 ends if you want to use earlier Chevy brakes. These housing ends are about 2 1/2 inches thick, so you should be able to make up your 7/8 difference with them.
I planned on using the brakes off the explorer but just redrill the rotors for the 5x4.75" bolt pattern of my wheels. Will those housing ends still work? Also are those ends set up to match up with the 2.75" section of the axle tube where it necks down or the full 3.25"?
Thanks for your reply!
If you're just narrowing one side to use two short axles and keeping the factory brakes, stay with the ends you have. I had the Ranger axle in my S-10 done this way by a reputable shop and they had to make the cuts on the large part of the tube, inboard of the swedge. I ended up with one Moser axle and one redrilled factory axle, hasn't caused any problems in it's 10 years of service.
Moser Engineering - Part # 7750 - Big Ford New Style/Torino Housing Ends - Housing Ends - Assorted Parts
This should be the one you need for the Explorer brakes. Check with Moser to be sure. If you use these housing ends you should have enough extra material on your short side so that you don't have to add anything, that is if you measure and cut right the frirst time. These ends will work with 3 or 3.125 tubes. They also work with other sizes as long as your welding skills are up to it.
If you want to get rid of the c clips then this is the way to go. Do it now and it will cost a lot less than trying to do it later. If you want to keep the c clips then use the ends that are on the housing right now. Cut the right side farther in than the left and you will have the extra 7/8 stock that you need.
If you are going to use disc brakes then tell Moser up front and they will send you the flush mount housing ends. That way you will not have to do any machine work to the caliper brackets.
Okay so lets say for now if I keep the c clip style axles and the current housing ends and just narrow a section of the tubing how are my numbers looking in my original post? Does it make sense the way I measured everything? Does it seem like a good idea to increase the width to 58"?
The total width is going to depend on your wheels. If you need the extra width to get your wheels and tires to fit then do it. You need to make the rear end the correct width to fit your wheels and tires in the wheel well correctly.
Yes, if you want to use something wider then now would be the time to do it. Get the wheels and tires first and then make the rear end fit.

OK, no shoulder holster info from me, but I have dealt with "office dress carry".
3:00 IWB tucked CTAC with V-clips and a Kahr subcompact is comfortable enough for me to take on lengthy drives and all day office wear, usually seated. It is the least comfy IWB I have, though.
Pocket carry of a Kahr PM series in slacks, nice hiking/cargo shorts, and some "dress shorts" works if the pocket slot is wide enough, but you lose that pocket for any keys, phone, etc. Still, a nice choice IMHO.
Thunderwear works OK, as long as you don't have to do much squatting, kneeling or bending. Sometimes a gun in Thunderwear "pitches a tent" when you are seated, which is not desirable in thin dress slacks, I can tell you. It's cheap enough to try and see if you like, and virtually invisible when basic standing/sitting expected.
This last one I have not tried, but if I do, it will be with a 4" gun. It starts to resemble SmartCarry, and that reminds me of the undershirt holsters that I have not tried, either.

Qubool Hai has been entertaining everyone with each new episode and now has started with yet another fresh story line with the entry of new character Rajveer.
Rajveer was last seen offering lift to Zoya (Surbhi Jyoti) on the way when Zoya was standing desperately in middle of the road seeking for a help.
Zoya was unaware about Rajveer's trouble in the future and hence leaves it aside without informing about the stranger's lift to Asad (Karan Singh Grover).
Asad comes to learn about Rajveer when he (Rajveer) comes back to return the earring to Zoya and to add more fuel to the fire, Rajveer sends a bouquet of flowers to apologize Zoya for entering informally.
However, Asad warns Zoya for her carelessness but Zoya ends up in a war of words asserting that she is still not a kid.
During Najma's ceremony, Zoya will come to learn about the true face of Rajveer when he tries to misbehave with her.
Rajveer will be trying to hold Zoya's hand forcibly but Zoya tries to defend herself.
Rajveer tries to step ahead despite her (Zoya) warning and as a result gets a slap from her.

I got a mobile phone from Virgin. it seemed good at the time so I decided to stay with them. I moved and could not get good reception where I lived at so I had to change mobile services. My number was **. I called and told them to disconnect my services on 09/09. They said that it was fine, I assumed that they had done this. A month later I get another bill for the phone. I called them and they stated that I would have to disconnect them from the billing list on my end so I did that. I was using them earlier from a different account but had changed my payment methods. They went back to my old account on 01/06/10 and billed me from that account.
I then had them to refund my monies. They called this an adjustment of funds. So a month and a half later on 02/27/10 they billed me again for $58.84. This caused me to have an NSF on a check that was due that day. Now mind you this phone had been off for 4 months. I wrote them first and I called them on 03/01/10 and they said that it was not true until I provided proof from my bank statement that it was. They then stated that it would be resolved.
The email came back and said that it was not true and to call so I called. They stated that they had opened a case and that it was in process. That it would take a week. I waited to hear from them and received an email stating again that they did not owe me anything.
I called again on 03/05/10. They said that they had found it and that I would be refunded in a few days. I waited for a week and did not hear from them. So I called them again and they said that someone would be in touch with me. Now on 03/22/10 I call them and they tell me to email them. I told them that I had so they give me this website to write a complaint on. I have proof and I am seeking for $58.84 and $25 in NSF fees for the bounced check that was their fault.
My experience with Virgin Mobile has been terrible, and I haven't even used the cellphone yet, although I have wasted 2.5 hours of my life (so far) trying to get service set up. I called yesterday to set up new service with a phone number from another carrier. I went through most of the process with a representative, but when it came time to program my phone, she got a "-1 error" (whatever) which she said was a glitch in the system that would not allow her to program my phone. She told me to call back when my old phone stopped having service and that they would program my new phone, no problem.
The next day I had no service on my old phone. I called, as instructed, and was told that the agent from the day before had made a mistake and that they could not start my service and they didn't know when they would be able to. This was not acceptable, as I now have NO service. People can't even leave a message. After a little over an hour on the phone, with much perseverance, I got a supervisor who had someone enter my info by hand, which allowed her to program my phone. She swore that I would receive a text within the hour confirming my service and I would then be able to use my phone. I did get a text 2-3 hours later, but my phone doesn't work.
Exasperatingly, I sat on hold for TWENTY MINUTES this evening without ever getting through to a person. And then their hours ended, so I gave up. I will have to call again tomorrow. Who knows how many more hours this is going to suck down? Who knows when (if) I'll have a working cell phone? One thing I do know: I'm not sticking with Virgin Mobile. I understand that mistakes happen, but not answering your phone or being able to fix mistakes is not an acceptable way to run a business. STAY AWAY!
TORONTO, CANADA -- I would like to share my recent experience with Virgin Mobile Canada and am wondering if there are other people who subscribed to their service during their Christmas promotion which promotes $20 + $15 activation credit.
This is **. On 23 of December 2009 I have placed an order (Order No. ** dated 23 of December 2008) on your website www.virginmobile.ca paying for a new mobile phone LG 150 and a top-up of $10 for a prepaid plan.
According to the advertisement placed on your website www.virginmobile.ca about the $20+$15 activation credit, the amount of my balance is expected to be $10+$35=$45. However after receiving my phone my balance was $10+$20=$30.
After a numerous phone calls with your customer service representatives (some of them are **, contacted on 31 of December 2008, and **, contacted on 2 of January 2009) and the supervisor **, contacted on 2 of January 2009, I were not provided with the service ordered as advertised (for detailed information about this incident please check the recorded phone calls from my number ** to your customer service).
As a result of that I had no choice, but to cancel the service and contacting you with a claim for a full refund of my payments regarding this purchase as follows: 1) MasterCard transaction for $11.30 dated 23 of December 2008 and 2) MasterCard transaction for $33.89 dated 23 of December 2008.
I appreciate your timely answer and please be advised that in case my claim is not respected timely and in full, I will have no choice, but to consider your actions/non-actions as an intentional misleading advertising and unfair/fraudulent commercial practice and will have to report this case to the following third party authorities:
The MasterCard department of BMO as a issuer of my credit card regarding the non-rendered service according to the promised advertisement, 2. The Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services Inc. (CCTS) regarding the non-rendered service, misleading advertising and unfair commercial practices.
The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regarding the non-rendered service, misleading advertising and unfair commercial practices, 4. The Competition Bureau regarding the misleading advertising and unfair competition practices. I believe you will take the proper actions to resolve this case in fair and the easier for both parties manner or I will proceed as advised.
We made the mistake of buying a phone from this totally incompetent company. We were unable to activate the phone using their website so we contacted their customer service people for assistance. They were unable to activate the phone either, so after nearly an hour on the phone listening to their lame excuses, we told them we wanted to cancel our service and return the phone. That was when hell began for us.
Numerous calls, hours of waiting, rude comments, deliberate disconnections to avoid talking to us, and lying (they said that had cancelled our service TWICE, but when we called back to confirm the cancellation we found they had not only NOT cancelled the service, they had billed us double!!!!) Do not buy anything from this criminal Enterprise.
ALL, ALABAMA -- I have had my cell phone for several years and maintain a positive balance. My current balance is $36.90. The company turn off my phone because I refuse to top up and put more money in the account. This company changed my plan inadvertently and refused to allow me to use the phone even though I had money in this account. I cannot believe that when I tried to use the phone it said I had no money in the account. This company tried to tell me that I had to pay an addition $20.00 in this account. They must be changing all the cell phone plans or something. I had to cuss and carry on just to get them to turn my phone back.
The message said no money in account and if I didn't not top up I would lose my number and any funds in that account. I feel this company serious endangered my life, because if I had an emergency I could not use my cell phone. They are insensitive to the needs of their customers and don't care one bit. Guess what folks they just don't care. VIRGIN MOBILE SUCKS... AVOID THIS COMPANY!!! I hope people will read this warning.
WARREN, NEW JERSEY -- In the first week of December 2012, I purchased a Ovation MC760 Broadband2Go USB stick for $19.99. On 12/3/12 I received the USB stick. I purchased the $55-5 gig month to month plan. I tried to download a 14 meg file. It took 30 minutes to download the file at an avg speed of 10kb a second. When I surfed the internet I had to reload pages several times before they would load because the broadband device would keep disconnecting. Virgin Mobile advertises this device as 3G broadband. It only delivers dialup speeds. $55 a month for dialup internet is ridiculous.
I called that night 12/3/12 at 10:30pm and spoke to **. I told him I wanted a full refund. He stated that he would issue a $55 credit immediately. He would also send a postage paid return envelope to return the device. Virgin Mobile would issue a refund by check in 4-6 weeks after receiving the device. I never received my $55 credit. Virgin Mobile never mailed me the postage paid return envelope. I contacted my credit card and they agreed to reverse the two fraudulent charges from Virgin Mobile. Verizon Wireless is the best wireless carrier. Unfortunately they are also the most expensive. Use Page Plus Cellular which runs on the Verizon network.
Before purchasing my new phone (Chaser) I inquired on an online chat as to whether I would be able to swap my phone and keep my usual plan of $25/300 minutes/unlimited text & data. I was assured by the representative that I would be able to do so. But when I tried to activate my new phone, I was informed that the representative had given me false information: the Chaser is in a different category of rate (more expensive monthly fee) from my old phone, because it is a smartphone.
Meanwhile, I had just spent a week looking forward to using the coolest phone I'd ever owned -- classic bait & switch. I feel that customer service agents have a responsibility to consumers -- to be truthful in their advertisement. But the company's response was 120 minutes of passing me around to different representatives -- none of whom had the power to provide a fair response to the problem (which for me would have been to exchange my phone for one which would work with my existing plan and offer me at least a small compensation for the trouble). This type of issue is unethical to say the least.
UTICA, NEW YORK -- Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go is FRAUD, plain and simple. I paid $70 for a USB stick because I was assured the coverage was good in my area. After almost a year of throwing away $50/month on a useless unlimited wireless plan, I am finally bailing out. In the last few months alone I have had no service for at least 10 days a month. Today alone I have had to disconnect and reconnect at least 20 times because the signal fails after a few minutes if I can connect at all.
I have called for support at least 10 times, been through the same pass the buck, uninstall, reset, all of that. I've been assured that I am in a good service area, been told someone from "engineering" would call me, who never did, you name it. Now Virgin is advertising 4G! They can't do 3G! DO NOT BUY THIS SERVICE OR ONE OF THEIR DEVICES! They should be investigated for fraud.
CATASAUQUA, PENNSYLVANIA -- Virgin Mobile said they send replacement or new phone in January to replace my malfunctioning phone and never got it. In turn they disconnect my phone for not sending old, when I never receive the replacement or new phone they claim I did. I never did and if they did not request a signature, they probably stole it, from the my porch, if is true that it was deliver. If I would it got it I would it activate the one send and send the old one, but I still got the old one, so they should know that, because the replacement new or old would have a different serial number.
I am a disable person and mother of 3 kids and do not have any other phone to communicate for anything and not even an emergency. If I do not get at least for now my old one activated, while they send a new phone, I would have to do a lawsuit for discrimination against a disable person. You can contact my stepfather at ** or cell **. Their customer service sucks and they hang up on me numerous times and they do not care about disable people.
I have Virgin Mobile Prepaid as a cell carrier. When checking my account balance for remaining minutes, I have caught them twice now in shortchanging my remaining minutes. I suspect they do it every month. For example, just now I found that their account balance says I have used 285 minutes, when in fact I calculated usage at 262 -- and I did this three times to make sure I didn't miss something.
If you call their customer service they will fix the discrepancy, but I shouldn't have to do this at all. Imagine how much extra revenue they get in misinforming their customers of their usage, because most people likely do not check their math. It's easy to do - just highlight the tables and copy them into Microsoft Excel. Then use the simple autosum formula.

JEFF KNAPP: PFBC assesses walleye stockings
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission assessments of the Allegheny River's walleye fishery conducted over the last six years have provided insight regarding natural reproduction, the level at which river-bred fish have survived to become adults, and also the significance of a native river-strain walleye.
As part of its current walleye management plan, supplemental stockings of walleye in the Allegheny were discontinued in 2007 to determine if natural reproduction was adequate to maintain a high-quality fishery. Prior to this, stockings of fry and fingerling-stage walleyes occurred regularly from the Kinzua Dam tailrace downriver to Lock and Dam 6 near Clinton. Stockings downstream of Lock and Dam 6 were relatively rare, with four plantings that occurred in 1976, 1977, 1980 and 1983. All were in the extreme lower end of the Allegheny between the Monongahela River confluence and the Highland Park Dam.
For the past six years the Fish and Boat Commission has evaluated the Allegheny's walleye population at nine sites, six in the free-flowing portion and three in the impounded lower section. The upper sites are the Kinzua tailwaters, Starbrick, Tidioute, Tionesta, President and Oil City; lower sites were East Brady, Templeton and Freeport.
The annual fall assessments were targeted at young-of-year walleyes (less than 9 inches); adult walleyes were also collected. The method of collection was nighttime electrofishing, with the numbers of fish collected per hour of effort being the gauge used in the evaluation. Catch rates of YOY walleyes captured at 20 per hour, and legal walleyes (15 inches or longer) at two per-hour, were the targeted goals, levels the agency has determined translate into a quality fishery for anglers.
"The young-of-year catch results are thought-provoking," said PFBC Three Rivers Fisheries Biologist Bob Ventorini. "Over a six-year period, President and Freeport only met the target catch rate once, while Tidioute was the least productive, not meeting our walleye plan objective in any surveyed year. Kinzua did not perform that well, either, over four years of surveys. On the other hand, Oil City met or exceeded the target catch rate half of the time, while Templeton performed the best of the sites surveyed — meeting or exceeding our expectations for young-of-year walleye for all six years."
Ventorini also noted that the most productive year for natural reproduction of walleye (within the past six years) in the Allegheny River appeared to be 2010. Fluctuations in hatch success from year to year are common in rivers, influenced by factors such as weather, water levels, predation, food sources for fry and availability of spawning habitat.
However, low young-of-year catch rates haven't translated into low numbers of legal walleyes. For instance, Tidioute and Kinzua produced a high level of legal fish, averaging four to five times the two-fish-per-hour rate during the survey period.
Ventorini said it's likely that differences in habitat within the survey areas impacts the numbers of fish collected, factors such as available shallow water cover and access to deep water. For instance, young-of-year walleyes were collected in good numbers at Oil City and Templeton, where a narrow fringe of weeds gives way to deep water, indicating perhaps that the young fish were concentrated in the available cover. Legal walleyes showed up in much higher numbers at upper Allegheny River sites such as Tidioute and Kinzua tailwaters, where the survey site is comparatively shallow, and the fish more susceptible to being stunned by the shock of the electrofishing gear than at other sites, such as the three in the impounded river section.
A highlight of the 2013 work also produced several trophy-sized walleyes, including the two biggest ever collected during Allegheny River surveys, which weighed 12 pounds, 10 ounces and 12 pounds, 8 ounces.
In addition to valuable information regarding natural reproduction — and how that is translating into adult fish for anglers — the 2013 survey will also provide important data relative to the "Highlands" walleye strain, one native to the Ohio River drainage. Ventorini cited work being done by Matt White, Ph.D., a biology professor at Ohio University in Athens. The Highlands strain is a river fish, unlike the Lake Erie walleye strain. Walleye brood stock in Pennsylvania come from the Lake Erie strain, hatched and reared primarily at the commission's Linesville hatchery, and are adapted to lake environments.
"Dr. White and his colleagues at Ohio University have revealed two different lineages," Ventorini noted. "Characteristic differences were found between the genetically distinct and widely stocked Lake Erie walleye strain and native Highlands walleye strain — named after a strain found in the Ohio River, the New and Kanawha rivers in West Virginia and the Cumberland River in Kentucky. Their goal has been to determine the distribution of the native Highlands strain and to identify those populations of natives that appear to have avoided hybridization with the introduced Lake Erie strain."
Ventorini said PFBC personnel clipped fin samples of 155 walleyes collected at various sites during the 2013 field work. These samples were sent to Ohio University, adding that at this point about half have of them have done. All of these samples have turned out to be Highlands River stain.
With six years of research now complete, Ventorini expects the agency to make a decision within the next several months on whether to continue suspension of walleye stocking on the Allegheny. He thinks the agency should continue to monitor the river's walleye population, perhaps with a reduction in the number of survey sites. He'd also like to see a November survey where adult walleyes are targeted.
"Hopefully the decision to stock or not stock will be made based on a consensus of a group of biologists, and not just one person," Ventorini said. "My opinion is that the data support not stocking walleye. My opinion will grow stronger if we find out that all or most of the fin clips we provided Dr. White were collected from Highlands strain walleye."

Itee Pootoogook was a man of few words. He was hard of hearing but never bothered to replace the expired batteries in his hearing aids. And he was so quiet that, as one friend observes, "It was damned near impossible to get him to talk." Even when he did, he kept his words to a minimum: "I like yellow;" "See you at 1;" "Not really."
Yet for all this laconism, Mr. Pootoogook never lacked for expression, blessed as he was with an artistic talent louder and more eloquent, finally, than any soft-spoken words. It was a talent, honed by habits strictly observed, that in the past five years saw Mr. Pootoogook's name referenced in sentences that also included the names Christopher Pratt and Alex Colville, Milton Avery and David Thauberger.
Drawing with coloured pencils and graphite on pieces of paper big and small, this former carpenter and construction worker earned both a living and a measure of fame. Indeed, many felt even greater work and more recognition – public, critical, monetary – lay ahead. On March 18, however, that cocktail of anticipation and expectation was dashed when the cancers (neck, sinus, throat, lung) plaguing Mr. Pootoogook for the past three years claimed him at 63 in an Iqaluit hospital.
Though he was born in Lake Harbour, NWT (now Kimmirut, Nunavut), on Feb. 7, 1951, Mr. Pootoogook was a Cape Dorset man. His father, Paulassie, a carver, moved the family to that community on the southern tip of Baffin Island when Itee was six or seven.
In 1959, shortly after the family's arrival, the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative founded the famed Kinngait Studios, a print-making centre that has nurtured hundreds of Inuit artists, including such legends as Kananginak Pootoogook, Itee Pootoogook's uncle, and his cousin Annie Pootoogook.
When Mr. Pootoogook was alive, you could pretty much set your watch by his schedule. At 8:50 a.m., he'd leave the small house where he lived alone to make the 10-minute downhill trudge to the drawing and lithography studios.
Removing his coat, Mr. Pootoogook would take a seat at his work table and begin to arrange his tools – pencil crayons from the Derwent factory in England, sheets of textured paper, graphite pencils, photographs. Then he would get to work, drawing with great intensity and focus, always stopping to take his coffee breaks and lunch at precisely the same times, until day's end at 5.
If his drawing was still in progress, the studio manager would give him a chit for $100. Once it was finished or near completion (a drawing could take five days, sometimes more depending on its difficulty and size – a 2012 drawing, Working on his Canoe, is an impressive 130 centimetres by 86 centimetres), Mr. Pootoogook would negotiate for his final payment (usually $2,000 to $3,000, minus the total advance chits).
Whatever the amount, Mr. Pootoogook would almost invariably do two things before walking home: send a money order to his estranged wife living in Ottawa (with whom he had two sons and a daughter) and buy a bag of groceries.
Other artists might have buckled under this regime, which he adhered to five days a week, month after month, but Mr. Pootoogook seemed to thrive on the self-imposed discipline.
His renderings – of architecture, panoramic landscapes, Arctic activities, the human figure – became progressively more refined, the compositions more ambitious, with dramatic croppings, interior framing devices and unusual perspectives, often "radiating," in the words of curator Ingo Hessel, "timeless calm and contentment."
Notes William Ritchie, manager of Kinngait Studios since 2009, currently a primary drawing buyer and long-time champion of Mr. Pootoogook: "In the last five years in particular, he really ratcheted up his game."
Mr. Ritchie first met Mr. Pootoogook in 1988 when he arrived at Cape Dorset from Newfoundland to serve as an art adviser at the co-op. True to the artistic background of his family, Mr. Pootoogook had tried his hand at carving in the 1970s and in 1973 even provided a stop-frame sequence of his colour snapshots as part of Animation from Cape Dorset, a National Film Board project.Report Typo/Error

Springhills Can Impact More Than Just Traffic: Environment Also at Stake
As the county's decision over approval of Springhills expansion draws closer, one issue that has gotten little attention is the environmental impact of what would be the largest development project in the county.
So far, traffic and roadway expansion have consumed much of the controversy, but these aren't the only things on people's minds. While the county and developer are currently looking at land use expansion, before the plan can go forward the Pennsylvania developer will have to comply with local legislative regulations something that has residents and environmentalists already concerned over.
As a homeowner off of Millhopper Road, Bob Schert --who is also a professor of environmental studies-- is concerned about the impact roadways needed to support Springhills will have. "It'll put a new road right throw some of the prettiest habitat in all of alachua county," said Schert.
But according to independent biologist, Ray Ashton, of the Biodiversity Institute, an environmental research group in Newberry, the environmental issues reach beyond what will be the 83rd street expansion. Ashton says that the flatwoods salamander and striped newts, local to the area are already endangered wildlife.
"In the plan submitted by the developer, the wetlands that are the breeding habitats of those 2 species... the suggestion is that they be eliminated," says Ashton.
The county's latest comprehensive plan for growth --which went into effect in 2005-- requires at least 20% be set aside for environmental preservation. Ashton who consults developers throughout the state believes that both the environment and development can find common ground. "Developers around the state are becoming more environmentally conscious," adds Ashton.
The PREIT (penssylvania Real Estate Investment Trust) says that they took wildlife into account in their 2004 study, but say that they won't be doing further studies until later phases of the project, something that has residents like schert concerned because the developers want to expand the project.
"What's the value of a piliated woodpecker or owl or gopher tortoise? It's hard to measure those things," said Schert.Â
With more residents moving toward more ecological communities Ashton says there's a market for environmental protection, "What i've seen and what i hear from both sides...we're looking at the way development used to be done back in the 60's and 50's not what's taking place in the new millenium," he added.
Tuesday, May 1st at 5 p.m. the county is holding an open hearing at Santa Fe Community College before a decision is made over the expansion of the Springhills project.

Fred Barnes really, really, really likes George Bush
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Now we know what Weekly Standard's in-house Bush superfan Fred Barnes was doing during his recent Oval Office interview with the outgoing president (since he definitely wasn't practicing journalism at the time.) Barnes was likely picking up a rough draft for this farewell column.
His presidency was far more successful than not. And there's an aspect of his decision-making that merits special recognition: his courage. Time and time again, Bush did what other presidents, even Ronald Reagan, would not have done and for which he was vilified and abused. That--defiantly doing the right thing--is what distinguished his presidency.
There will always be a warm meal in Dallas waiting for Barnes.

It was only a matter of time. Twitter was the first to use them; LinkedIn, Google+, and nearly every other social media outlet soon followed suit, and now Facebook has jumped aboard the #hashtags bandwagon as well.
Hashtags should be a part of your social media plan. If you're already using them in your Twitter and LinkedIn posts, the transition should be easy and smooth for you. Just add the same hashtags.
Never used hashtags? It's easy.
Think of hashtags as keywords. They provide a way to connect you with others who are talking about that same topic. For instance, if you are writing about the Pittsburgh Marathon, at the end or in the middle of your post, add #PittsburghMarathon (i.e. Great workout today—ran ten miles. Preparing for next year's #PittsburghMarathon.) Writing about the #Steelers, #Penguins, or #Pirates? I think you get the point. Once you tag a word or phrase with a hashtag, it automatically becomes a clickable link. So you can click on that hashtag to see a feed of posts by others who are talking about the same topic on Facebook.

Producing Embryos for Profit
- Albert Mohler Beyont The News Commentary
- 2005 19 Aug
August 19, 2005
The Washington Post reports that the controversy over embryonic stem cell research is spreading from Washington throughout the nation. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/09/AR2005080900793.html)
In reporter Peter Slevin's words: "The moral debate over embryonic stem cells stretches far beyond Capitol Hill to state capitals and research parks across the country, where a fierce competition is underway from Maryland to California for cutting-edge research and the profits that could follow."
Note carefully the focus on profits.
There is undoubtedly a great deal of money to be made in the field of stem cell research and other biotechnologies.
Corporations, communities and individuals are sure to demand a piece of the action and an opportunity to share in the wealth.
But what about the moral issues at stake?
Will this nation sell its soul for profits from a technology that destroys human embryos and undermines human dignity?
The sanctity of human life is worth more than anything money can buy.
I'm Albert Mohler.

Starting the Process - Dominican Republic
So I haven't done anything yet, I haven't even contacted Dr. Duran but she is my surgeon of choice. Im not big enough for a full on bbl so i want butt implants with fat transfer. Im starting to save up as of now. I do go to the gym and I have squatted and all that for a while now and I have come to terms that the only way to get my dream body is through surgery. I really love Durans work and... READ MORE

Yeah that sucks :( Im sorry I hope everything goes well with Duran… I have been reading a lot of reviews on here and apparently the implant scars reopening is like a common thing and thats scary. READ COMMENT
Thank you! READ COMMENT
Yeah I have heard of her in IG, and if its speeds up the process then she's def worth $200. Ill give Duran a week then I'll contact Jasmine for sure! READ COMMENT
Right, well I didn't see any reviews on her doing implants but I figured she would make an exception for me. Its confusing because a few years ago I was thinking of this surgery and Dr. Moises Salama told me I would need to gain... READ COMMENT

HI floris v... and mostly ditto on Dave's comments. We have NO intention of trying to recreate kenai. The problem at the moment is no one, and I do think I mean pretty much no one (well Andrew says he has access to "the machine" but can he can fix the Oracle branding?), is even minding the kenai.org (now .com) store. That is, this site/project, was also abandoned by Oracle just about the time it gave over OpenOffice to Apache. Go to http://kenai.com/ to read what's there. What this essentially means is there's a machine up complete with a bunch of old kenai projects on it (OpenOffice.org being one) and no kenai master at hand. Our best best, IMHO, is to just get the DNS (name transfer to Apache) done as quickly as possible; do whatever we need to to get a skeleton site up (Dave and I, but mostly Dave have been working toward this for a bit); fix the DNS records to point openoffice.org to the new "actual Apache machine", and get on with it. Bottom line. We will NOT be using kenai templates, (and yes, we've already got the relevant page "guts" if you will,) and we don't care about them *now* except for all the Oracle branding that's there and we can't fix. Andrew might be able to figure this out...I don't know. > > Regards, Dave > > >> Peter Roelofsen aka floris v >> > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MzK "There is no such thing as coincidence." -- Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Rule #39
