The room we had first had a broken window but otherwise was really lovely so once I asked to be moved (there was a roof outside our room and it wouldve been really easy for anyone to get in) they put us in another room in the block by the pool.

Santa Marta, is a Colombian city, the capital of the department of Magdalena and third major urban center of the Caribbean Region after Barranquilla and Cartagena. Founded on July 29 of 1525 by the Spanish conquistador Rodrigo de Bastidas, it is the oldest existing city in Colombia as it was the first Spanish settlement in Colombia, and second oldest of South America.
This city, located in the bay of the same name, is one of the leading tourist destinations in the Colombian Caribbean. Its location between the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, with the highest peaks in the country, and the Caribbean Sea, make it a very attractive destination to explore the variety of wildlife that exists in the area. It also provides many cultural and historical sites to visit. As an important fact, Simon Bolivar died on a farm named Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino which at the time was outside the city on December 17, 1830. Because of this, the Constitution of 1991 conferred upon the city of Santa Marta, the character of District.
Its most popular and busiest business area is located in the historic downtown near the Market Square. The area between the first Carrera, 22nd Street and Railroad Avenue frame the historical and commercial center of the city.
The current symbols of the city of Santa Marta are the bi-colored flag White and Blue sky], and the two coats of Arms. The first one, being used since May 1929 that has a turret and a ship with four rows. And the second one which the municipal government started using in 1951 that includes the Virgin Mary.
Pre-Columbian era[edit]
Prior to the arrival of European conquerors, the American continent was populated by indigenous people whose origin, for the particular case of Santa Marta for its location is very difficult to determine. By being at the northern part of South America, to the northern part of Colombia, it was one of the busiest migration routes in all directions.
The indigenous people who populated the territory formed separated groups due to the complex topographic formations. The cultures and traditions varied between these groups. Amongst them, the Tairona group stands out. They had great influence in the Caribbean Region of Colombia and were located more towards the hillsides of the Sierra Nevada. They formed communities with many inhabitants and their economy was mainly agriculturally based. By growing corn and pineapple, and extracting salt and gold, they were able to exchange them with other tribes in the region.
Spanish Era[edit]
In 1524 Rodrigo de Bastidas capitulated the ruling of Santa Marta that corresponded to the territories going from Cabo de la Vela to the outlet of the Magdalene River. The responsibility upon these lands relied only over the person who exercised the capitulation and in no way upon Spanish royalty. Hence, it was responsibility of the conqueror to establish the villages, attract settlers, bring in seeds, livestock and slaves. Bastidas became governor in 1525 and appointed Santa Marta as the Capital District and Harbor. His intentions with this land were different from other conquerors. Bastida wanted to spend his last days in this territory. Due to this determination, his ideas about slavery and extraction of resources were contrary to those of his competitors. This brought upon him many attacks until he died. As his replacement, Rodrigo Álvarez Palomino was appointed governor.
Many expeditions departed from Santa Marta. The most important one being from Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada because it culminated in 1538 with the discovery of the extensions of Bogotá and the founding of the city of Santa Fé.
The colonization of these lands started with the arrival of the governor Lope de Orozco in 1596. After this, many improvements were made. The agriculture and livestock breeding was organized, and they started to establish rapport with the aboriginal groups. Santa Marta, just as Cartagena, was a target for pirates and filibusters during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was ransacked several times.
When the Vice-royalty of Nueva Granada was created in 1724, the region preserved its designation as a province. That same year the Vice-royalty was suspended and then reestablished again in 1746. The governing structure from there remained until the Independence.
Republic period[edit]
The struggle for independence continued. The men under command of the colonels Carreño, Padilla and Maza defeat the royalists in the battle of Ciénaga Grande. After that, Carreño and his liberating troops entered Santa Marta on November 11, 1820. A bloody battle left 700 casualties, 400 wounded and more than 600 prisoners that mostly were aboriginals recruited by the Spanish army.
During 1834 and earthquake shook Santa Marta leaving it in ruins for several decades. A year after this event, Santa Marta was depicted as a "city of miserable appearance". There were no hotels, and only seven foreigners lived in the city. The only buildings that held measurable value were the cathedral, the government palace and the residences of the businessmen Joaquín de Mier and Juan Fairbank. In 1835, Santa Marta was a little town with no more than 6,000 inhabitants. Population that diminished during the following decades according to the census taken in 1843 and 1851.
In the decade of 1840, many facts happened that helped the progress of Santa Marta. The Savings Union of Santa Marta initiated activities in 1846. In 1848 street lighting was established and the "Sociedad Filarmónica de Santa Marta" (Philharmonic Society of Santa Marta) was established in 1849. Another meaningful act was the institution of the first Economic and Commercial newspaper in the country "La Gaceta Mercantil" edited by Manuel Murillo Toro between the years 1847 and 1860.
During various decades in the nineteenth century, Santa Marta was the main harbor of the New Granada. Most of the country's external trade was mobilized through here. The customs collection in that port exceeded greatly the ones in Cartagena, Sabanilla and Barranquilla. During the period 1840–1872, Santa Marta was definitely the main port for imports, and for some years, for exports too. During the fiscal year 1871–1872, the collection in Santa Marta and Sabanilla were really similar but by the same time next year Sabanilla surpassed Santa Marta by a great margin. The paradox, is that the commercial dynamic of Santa Marta during the nineteenth century was accompanied by a reduction in its population (relatively and absolutely).
Twentieth century[edit]
The peaking in the banana industry, generated a migration wave towards Ciénaga, the banana zone and Santa Marta from different districts in Colombia and from the exterior as well. This is how many families originally from Bogotá, Bolívar, Antioquia and other subregions of the Magdalena district such as Valledupar and the province of Padilla (south of La Guajira), arrived here searching for better opportunities. From all these families arriving to the area, the ones that had their family history transcend was that from the family Márquez Iguarán: grandparents (on the mother side) of the Nobel Prize in Literature Gabriel García Márquez. He made the name Macondo universal. An imaginary town that could be any of the ones located in the Colombian Caribbean.
By half of the twentieth century, when the banana based commerce started to show its limitations, the tourism industry made an appearance. Infrastructure with this purpose was built such as the Hotel Tamacá, Hotel Tairona and the highway named "El Rodadero". Two decades later, Santa Marta became one of the principal tourist attractions in Colombia. It offered a series of attractions to all types of tourists: "El Rodadero", Taganga, the various inlets in park Tayrona, archeological sites (Pueblito, Ciudad Perdida) and the petroglyphs of Donama, el Morro and the Sierra Nevada amongst others.
Twenty-first century[edit]
Santa Marta today debates to map out its development as either a tourist destination or the specialization of their ports for the carbon industry. Between 1994 and 2005, the port area of Santa Marta-Ciénaga went from exporting 2.3 millions to almost 28 million tons in carbon. Increasing Colombian exports to the coal market from 15% to 51%.
Geography and climate[edit]
Temperatures in the city of Santa Marta range from 27 to 35 °C (81 to 95 °F) at sea level, but the Municipality of Santa Marta stretches up to the highest snowy peaks of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and each 100 metres (330 feet) of altitude gained means temperatures fall by 0.6 °C (1.1 °F). Rainfall in this region varies from nothing to around 975 millimetres (38 in) per month, but overall the climate is semi-arid and hot, with agriculture requiring irrigation from streams that drain the snowy peaks.

Hey all,
I went to the Jerry and Esther Hicks, Art of allowing workshop in Melbourne.
I at first thought that this was all good and that they are here to help, but now Im thinking otherwise.
So Im sitting there in the workshop which is a pretty big theatre, and what should I see standing in the dark right hand corner of the theatre next to the curtain, but a tall alien.
I dont think many people saw it because it was hiding in the dark, probably trying to make sure not to be seen.
But I know better and I know what I saw, Im not a gullible 3D person.
I mainly saw the outline, but I could tell that it was tall and trying to hide in the corner like a little worm.
Ive read books on invisibility, to be invisible you must surround yourself in clouds/mists of darkness, what a surprise.
Then when Esther came out on stage you could see the outline of another being the same height as Esther that was following her.
There were also a lot of things that she said on stage that were unsettling.
During the end of the workshop I went up to Jerry to give them a thank you card for helping me out, and I just got the most sickening feeling when I was standing next to him.
If Jerry and Esther Hicks/Abraham are benevolent then my suspicions wouldnt be raised at all, and I wouldnt have felt the way I did.
If its one thing Ive learnt is to always trust your intuition it is never wrong.
Anyway I think the reptilians or whatever it was that was there, is probably trying to use our emotions against us, so cleverly by the way.
If you give information about the law of attraction/esoteric principals to 3D people, they will use it in a manner that is not really in anyones best interest, including there own, because they have not achieved that enlightened state where they know how to use it properly.
Its like giving a 4 yr old your car keys and putting them in the drivers seat, the consequences are disastrous.
It was also interesting that I didnt see to many highly enlightened beings there, they were mainly 3D people.
I know that there will be people out there who will disagree with me, but this is just my opinion.
Love and Light

Ordering was simple
Delivery was fast
Great communication and item is perfect
Wouldn't hesitate to use Bernard's Bins again, great service. Took just 48 hours to reach me. Superb
Top quality, fast delivery - what more can a customer ask for - thank you.
All Good Highly recommended
Product does the job. Not the highest quality but good value at the price.
no other place for bins
Ordered goods via eBay, deal struck on delivery costs and like everyone else I like a bargain !
Goods arrived as described and on time!
I was very happy with the service and product
An unlucky one this one.
All went well but we received the wrong items - all sorted by customer service but uplift came on the wrong day with no one available to deal! No worries, I'm sure it'll get sorted... :)
I strongly recommend this seller's contact at a high level, hassle-free, secure service guarantee. Thanks
Bernard's Bins has an easy-to-use website so the process of finding and buying what we wanted was straightforward and quick. There were no nasty surprises on checkout, it was exactly as we expected from the previous pages.
The rather heavy packages were delivered when promised, brought into the house by the cheerful, friendly driver and put where I asked. The delivery of multiple boxes was complete and everything was in good condition, no breakages or damage.
Having had less-than happy experiences buying online from other companies previously, I was ready for trouble this time, but the whole experience was stress-free. I would definitely go back to Bernard's Bins again in the future.
As above !!! Great eBay experience. Well pleased !
The prices were very fair and the Items were exactly as described.
I was in touch with their customer service department twice with questions and they were polite and informative. Delivery was fast.
Every aspect of this company is professional and efficient. I would happily recommend them to anyone.
Great product at a very good price. Arrived on time undamaged, although courier did leave it outside our back door instead of the covered porch. Great service apart from that, very happy.
We received the product in good time but some of the parts were damaged. Bernards Bins immediately sent out replacements free of charge and were with us the next morning. The shelves are now up and do exactly what we need them to.
Excellent product, very fast delivery, and the best price,what more can I say
5 star seller thank you Bernard.
Very. Easy to fit Good quality on item very goo d service as item was not deliverd by currier as was damaged and was replaced and delivered the next day well done Bernard's bins will use this seller again
The shelves, workbench and floor covering we're exactly what their on-line catalogue described and I am more than pleased with them and the rapid delivery was much appreciated, as were the emails to let me know the state of play. I will certainly recommend Bernard Bins to others.
Great item posted quickly, excellent communications. Many thanks.
I am enthusiastic about reccomending you to others.
The items ordered, albeit insignificant, were dispatched quickly, I was kept informed as to them being on the way & they arrived the very next day.
All this for £4.04 for two sets of clips to keep the shelving racks together
Yours is the standard of excellence all should aspire to.
(I regret not purchasing shelving racks from BernardsBins as they are abysmal).
I am confident that when I order items more substantial, the performance of delivery would be the same.
Thank you for the easy hassle free experience, well done & keep it up!

I've just bought some shelving for my garage, my son removed all the awful boxes, etc.
which my late husband had fixed to the walls, and I desperately wanted to give it a make-over.
I thought I had problems because two of the shelves had been damaged in transit, but although I had put them together decided to email Bernards Bins just to let them know I had had a problem. They were superb, I immediately got a refund when it was found that I had been overcharged, and I was sent another set of shelves so that I could put up complete undamaged unit. They look great and I would certainly recommend the firm and would buy from them again if need be.
yes I would recommend Bernard bins I now have a space at hand for my bits and pieces such as nails screws nut and bolts ect and the good thing is I can now separate all my sizes into boxes am I orginised or what
Just what I wanted . Excellent storage solution at a fraction of the cost
I thought I would have to pay.
Supper to deal with . Strongly recommend them
just the perfect item that i was looking for
The shelving was the right size for the space and items for storage.
A pity that spare shelves are not sold separately not even the metal work.
What happens if one gets damaged later down the line???
I needed more shelves, so i will have to go else where.
Lost a sale there boys!!!
Brilliant follow up on delivery of purchases with excellent customer service, would definitely shop here again.
I would also highly recommend them.
Thank you
I'd use these guys again for any of my storage needs. Great product I should of bought it earlier!
Excellent service except 1 out of 4 packages never arrived. When the company was advised they resent the item immediately without question. Apart from that courier problem the service was exemplary. Yes I will certainly deal with them again.
Ordered these and they were delivered the next day. They were required urgently so the fast delivery was appreciated.
I purchased a tool tidy. Delivery time estimates to Ireland were provided. Package arrived on time and we were kept up to speed on what was happening from the time we placed the order.
Bernards Bins are a great company, delivery is excellent, and no qualms about delivering to Northern Ireland unlike other companys. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them
product bought at a very good price,very quick delivery, would buy again from this site, thanks

Mass. man due in court on murder, arson charges
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) -- A Northampton man is due in court on a new 42-count indictment charging him with setting a series of fires, including one that killed an 81-year-old World War II veteran and his son.
A Hampshire County grand jury indicted 27-year-old Anthony Baye this week on murder, arson and other charges relating to 26 fires from 2007 and 2009. He is to be arraigned Thursday.
Baye was arrested in January 2010. Prosecutors recently dropped the original homicide and arson charges and opened a new grand jury investigation after the state's highest court threw out his confession. He remained jailed on charges of misleading authorities investigating the fires.
Baye confessed setting the fires after 10 hours of police interrogation. Baye's attorney has said his client maintains his innocence and was forced into a false confession.

Click "Find an Event" to find the National Trails Day® Event nearest you. Or click "Register an Event" to register your own. Registration is for NTD 2014 will open in January.
General Information
National Trails Day® evolved during the late '80s and '90s from a popular ethos among trail advocates, outdoor industry leaders and political bodies who wanted to unlock the vast potential in America's National Trails System, transforming it from a collection of local paths into a true network of interconnected trails and vested trail organizations. This collective mindset hatched the idea of a singular day where the greater trail community could band together behind the NTD moniker to show their pride and dedication to the National Trails System
America's 200,000 miles of trails allow us access to the natural world for recreation, education, exploration, solitude, inspiration, and much more. Trails give us a means to support good physical and mental health; they provide us with a chance to breathe fresh air, get our hearts pumping, and escape from our stresses. All it takes is a willingness to use them!
National Trails Day® also aims to highlight the important work thousands of volunteers do each year to take care of America's trails. Trails do not just magically appear for our enjoyment; their construction and maintenance takes hours of dedicated planning and labor. So give thanks to your local volunteers and consider taking a day to give back to your favorite trail.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

The University of Newcastle will roll out the second stage of a major development initiative in eastern and southern Africa, launching a new scholarship scheme with the Government of Kenya for five PhD students.
The scholarship scheme is part of a $2.6 million University initiative to build capacity in countries in eastern and southern Africa.
The initiative involves waiving fees for up to 30 government-sponsored research higher degree students from Africa to study at the University of Newcastle in Australia over the next three years.
The five scholarships launched today in Kenya are the second stage of the initiative, and follow five scholarships announced in Botswana last year.
Pro Vice-Chancellor of the Faculty of Education and Arts at the University of Newcastle, Professor Terry Lovat, said the University was committed to investing in education and expanding the skills of people in Africa.
"Over the past 10 years, more than 416 students from Kenya have studied degree programs across the University's five Faculties," Professor Lovat said.
"The equitable, merit-based scheme will support talented students to study in the fields of education, international affairs, public health, engineering and public sector reform."
The first students of the new scholarship scheme with the Government of Kenya are expected to start their studies in Australia in October 2009.

I have ordered your ornaments several times for my grandchildren, this has been a tradition of mine.

Nov 7 2012
An anti-austerity demonstration by more than 80,000 people in Athens degenerated into violence as hundreds of protesters clashed with riot police ahead of a crucial parliamentary vote on new spending cuts.
The vote is the toughest test yet for the country's fragile four month-old coalition government, which must pass the 13.5 billion euro (£10.78bn) package of measures to ensure Greece continues receiving bailout loans and avoids bankruptcy.
"Today we must confirm Greece's new credibility," said Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. "We choose whether we want to stay in the eurozone ... or return to the drachma. That is the choice."
The measures will pile more pain on the Greeks, who have suffered wave after wave of spending cuts and tax hikes since their government revealed in 2009 that public debt was actually far higher than officially declared.
Earlier hundreds of rioters hurled rocks and petrol bombs at lines of police guarding Parliament, who responded with volleys of tear gas and stun grenades, and the first use of water cannon in Greece in years.
Some in the 80,000-strong demonstration, which braved sometimes torrential rain, ran for cover as running battles broke out with police on the second day of a 48-hour general strike. Clouds of tear gas rose from Syntagma Square.
The austerity package is expected to scrape through when the vote is held later tonight. But any defections or abstentions could severely weaken the conservative-led coalition formed in June.
"Today we face the most critical decision any government has taken in the past 37 years," Mr Samaras said. "Many of these measures are fair and should have been taken years ago, without anyone asking us to.
"Others are unfair - cutting wages and salaries - and there is no point in dressing this up as something else," he said, adding that the country was, however, obliged to take them.
The alternative is bankruptcy, triggering financial chaos as the country would likely have to leave the 17-country euro bloc.
