Wish I Could Have Stayed LongerPosted Mar 24, 2014
Pros: It feels so secluded, you can really experience the cloud forest here.
Cons: More hospitable front desk staff would be nice. The bartender was very nice and made some tasty cocktails.
Location: Take the hike into town and have lunch at the Tree House. Super cool little restaurant.
Cloud Forest Lodge was a beautiful facility. Located about a mile (maybe less) from the center of town, it and nestled among the cloud forest. Lost of lush landscape, hummingbirds, and wildlife on the grounds. Private trails (all though not well marked so make note) add an extra dimension of adventure. We walked into town a couple of times, it's all the way uphill on the way back to the lodge from town but a great walk none the less. Taxis also available from the lodge.

Secluded retreatPosted Jul 17, 2013 on Hotels.com
We stayed one night enroute to our destination. The drive was rough, but well worth the gorgeous views! Since our time was limited we just explored the trails on the property. They were nice and we saw several different animals and plants. They were very friendly with food service and breakfast was included. Overall, it was a pleasant, albeit brief stay.

Great zip-lining!Posted Jul 3, 2013
Pros: Close zip-line facility and breakfast.
Cons: The road to the lodge and the Internet reception in the cabins.
The zip-line facilities were in the reception/restaurant building. We took our kids (10, 8, 5) and they had a blast. Our 8 and 5 year old boys could do the first few lines on their own but for the more difficult lines they were "riding" together with our guides. There was even an awesome Tarzan swing which everybody could do on their own. Fun! We checked out a few other zip-lines (for instance at Arenal vulcano)) and learned that the one at Could Forest is very reasonable priced ($45 for adults and $22 for kids). The longest line was 800 meters! The cabins were nice and clean. The kids slept in bunk beds and loved it. The bathroom was newly renovated and very spacious. The staff was great. They even brought some hot native brew/ drink (tea with some spices) at night to our cabin because my husband's stomach acted crazy. The kids and I mentioned his sickness when we were at dinner without him. That was very thoughtful. The restaurant had good choices for dinner even though a bit expensive (like almost everything in Costa Rica). The breakfast was excellent (and included). We were very happy with our 3 night stay at the Cloud Forest Lodge.

Nice place to stay!Posted Feb 4, 2013 on Hotels.com
We enjoyed our stay at the Cloud Forest Lodge. The rooms were nothing fancy, but were spacious and clean. The shower was large and nice! By the time you get to your room, if it is dark, you probably won't feel like making the drive back down the road to town to eat but the restaurant at the hotel is just fine and is very reasonably priced. Don't think you need to drive back to town to avoid inflated prices. The hotel staff is VERY helpful and friendly! The road up to the hotel is steep and windy, but if you have four wheel drive, it is no problem at all (at least during the dry season.)

hard to get toPosted Dec 28, 2012
The road to the hotel is a very steep gravel road, so off it has been training and you are in a small rental cease, the two kilometers to the lodge can be quite an adventure. Also the rooms do not have even a coffee maker or a water heater. The breakfast is excellent though.try the typical Costa Rican breakfast

Life in the ForestPosted May 5, 2012
Pros: The staff The view The gardens
Cons: Condition of road leading to hotel
Location: a little remote, but beautiful... the sounds of the crickets at night was amazing.
We had a great time at the Cloud Forest, the canopy tour was the best (and first!) The hotel is a little far away from town and the condition of the road made going out at night challenging... though the restaurant was good. The only caution I would give to people is be prepared for some snakes, tarantulas and other insects...it is in the forest and makes it interesting! There is a night watchman there to catch creatures outside. The staff was great, especially Gustavo in the restaurant. The view and gardens were amazing...

Basic & overpriced for what you getPosted Apr 26, 2012 on Hotels.com
Price included breakfast ( which is only USD $8 anyway) was a little steep for the VERY basic room you get. Beds creaked, no heater in room, no water jug or cups even. No TV. I felt like I was in a dormatory with just beds and a small basic table with 2 chairs. Hotel should provide umbrellas to guests. We had to borrow from a staff member to return to our room as the rain was pretty heavy. Waitstaff were super friendly and a highlight. The Original Canopy Tour is onsite and a great highlight and fun to do.

A cyclist has slammed the "appalling" state of a Bexley cycle path.
Every day Neil Jobbins, 47, makes the 10 mile journey there and back from his home in Hartley to Darent Industrial Park in Erith.
The oil seller usually enjoys making the 50 minute journey each way to work at Fuel Oils, but says in the last two years the state of the path has deteriorated.
The route runs from Dartford through Crayford, swings up towards the Thames by the banks of the River Darent before heading into Erith.
Mr Jobbins claims the going is toughest in Crayford, where brambles reduce the normally 1.2m wide path to 30cm in some places.
The father-of-one told News Shopper: "It's appalling. The potholes are ridiculous and they are up to 10ins deep in some places.
"When it rains there are puddles everywhere. There are brambles and weeds overgrowing it.
"My bike is adapted for it but anyone else who wanted to use it would be put off so what is the point of putting a cycle path in if you are not going to maintain it?
"There is only one way things are going at the moment and that is the closure of the path.
"I would like to see someone take responsibility for it."
Mr Jobbins says journeys to work like his should be the norm for people living on the outskirts of London but poor maintenance of routes like this is getting in the way.
He said: "Everyone should be cycling to work, whether they live in Dartford and work in Woolwich.
"They should be able to do that and this is the cycle route for it."
The path in Crayford is part of cycling charity Sustrans' route 1, running all the way from Dover to the Shetland Islands.
Rebecca Jones, South London area manager for Sustrans, said: "We're aware of the poor condition of this path.
"This has not been helped by the illegal use of motorbikes and quad bikes which has further damaged the route in Crayford.
"We are continuing to work with the police to try and eradicate illegal use here.
"As a charity we have limited resources and unfortunately there is no statutory funding available for maintaining cycle routes, something that we would like to see changed.
"To try and fund maintenance we have bid for various grants in recent years but have not yet been successful in winning funding.
"We will continue to try and gain funding for the route and in the meantime we are working with our dedicated volunteers to cut back vegetation on the route."

Many of Whitlock's organ pieces are still regularly to be found in recital programmes today – principally because the music is tuneful and well crafted, exploring the resources of the organ of the inter-war years to full effect. The tendency to conservatism in his harmonic idiom has been frowned upon, but in an era when various strands in contemporary composition have welcomed a 'revisionist romanticism' his music seems more congruous with the musical world than it did in the years immediately after his death.

Look, I think they are wrong, and they need to give her back. All I'm saying is, I feel some sympathy for them.
I have a question for the military people on here. I was under the impression (based on my experience) that it is impossible to "hide" in the military. If this woman truly felt he abandoned her, couldn't she make a phone call to get the ball rolling? Or go to the base with her dependent ID and tell someone? It just doesn't seem logical that he could get away with abandoning her.
I was also under the impression that if a member of the military is involved in a court hearing, there are extra steps they had to take. I can't figure out how they would be able to show a long enough paper trial that they attempted to locate him. With today's technology, wouldn't there be facebook, email, cell phones, joint bank accounts, etc.?
There are just too many of these cases. I would never give up the fight for my child if someone kidnapped her.
In 2009 David Goldman was reunited with his then-9YO son after fighting for 5 years.
This does not have to be as difficult as they are making it. "Too much time has passed" is not a valid argument. There is no statute of limitations for kidnapping in UT. And in reality, they could minimize the time by following the court order.
I would love for the military or federal government to get involved to see if they violated in other laws.
This was 23 years ago but my niece's bio-dad was in the Air Force. He'd wanted my sister to get an abortion but she didn't. She told him if he didn't want to be a father, that was fine with her but she wanted him to see his daughter before making his decision. He started avoided her, disconnected his phone, even came to her house & peeled off the sticker off her car so she couldn't get on base, quit his off-base second job and stopped hanging out at his usual bar. After the baby was born, my sister called his Commanding Officer, who said bring the baby here on Friday, and the CO had him sitting there in his office.
I'm sorry your friends are dealing with this, but there's an easy solution. Adoption agencies shouldn't be placing children for adoption that they don't have absolute authority to place. If both parents haven't signed off on it, then the child shouldn't be considered adoptable.
I fully agree that now it is obvious that the man wants the child. I'm saying initially, when they proceeded with the adoption, they may not have known what his intentions were in refusing to sign the papers. Now they are likely attached to the child and acting selfishly out of that attachment. Their judgment is clearly clouded by the fact that THEY want to keep the child, rather than stepping back and viewing what is best for the little girl (they've no doubt convinced themselves that it's best that the baby stay with them).
What documentary did you watch? I would be interested in seeing it.

"Nickelodeon" is a movie Peter Bogdanovich must have wanted to make for years. During all those long nights when he was a serious young film critic, sitting in front of the TV and memorizing the late movies and eating Popsicles (when they moved, his wife found thousands of Popsicle sticks behind the set) ... Bogdanovich was watching the old masters to see how they did it. How Hawks and Ford and Walsh took an industry into their hands and fashioned it into an art form.
Bogdanovich has paid homage to that era of filmmaking in several of his films; "The Last Picture Show" had the lean and evocative look of a John Ford film, and "What's Up, Doc?" was a screwball comedy in the Hawks style. But before Hawks, before Ford, there was an earlier generation, the first Hollywood generation. And "Nickelodeon" is about that generation, about the pioneers who took a toy and made it into an industry.
The problem with Bogdanovich, though, is that he wants to turn it back into a toy. He must have had a lot of fun making this movie, staging its pratfalls, and reconstructing the working conditions the earliest filmmakers had. But we don't have nearly as much fun watching "Nickelodeon." We're reminded that Orson Welles described a movie studio as the biggest electric train a kid could ever get. Bogdanovich doesn't let us play with his train.
Instead, he keeps us on the outside of a curiously flat movie. It functions like clockwork and it looks right, but it doesn't feel like much. The laughs are telegraphed, the actors are lifeless (with the exception of Burt Reynolds), and the movie does an abrupt turnabout, from comedy to elegy, about two-thirds of the way through. "Nickelodeon" was obviously a very expensive movie (Tatum O'Neal alone cost around $250,000, to little avail), but Bogdanovich's escaping hot air balloons, elaborately staged pratfalls and period sets aren't exploited; they're just there.
The movie's loosely about a young attorney (Ryan O'Neal) who stumbles into a career as a filmmaker. Reynolds plays a genial wrangler-turned-stuntman, and Tatum O'Neal is a young girl whose function is apparently to appear owlish and wise beyond her years, and be cute. None of the spirit she displayed in Bogdanovich's wonderful "Paper Moon" is allowed to emerge here. Instead, as the intrepid filmmakers head for the hills to avoid the spies of the movie patent holders, scenes pile upon scenes with no apparent over-all purpose, and even Tatum gets overlooked.
After more than an hour of would-be sight gags and nostalgia, the movie changes directions. We get a warning when Bogdanovich recreates a famous John Ford episode: Told he was five pages behind in his shooting schedule, Ford tore five pages from his script and said, "Now we're on schedule again." The movie also manages to work in the title of Bogdanovich's book, "Pieces of Time," and then it ends with a well-staged recreation of the world premiere of "The Birth of a Nation" - which was also the birth of serious American filmmaking. The young filmmakers are disconsolate as they leave the theater; the film was so good, they feel, that a better film will never be made. They're wrong, but not about Nickelodeon.

It's rare to find a work that explores issues of faith without veering into religious fundamentalism or militant atheism, which is reason enough to revisit Brideshead one more time.
It shifts the focus from Charles and Sebastian's youthful idyll to the stronger, more provocative relationship between Charles and Julia, wherein lies Waugh's concerns with materialism and velvet-gloved dual grip of family and religion.
You could wish for more, but for that there's still the epic-length miniseries. If you want just two hours of mournful, lovely melodrama of manners, this is a fine choice.
It's a great piece of work in a movie that, whatever its failings, deserves to be seen even if you swear undying allegiance to the BBC mini-series.

Move of massive magnet begins
The U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory began moving Saturday the 14-ton electromagnetic ring, which is used to help study the properties of subatomic particles, from Upton to the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, which is better equipped for the ring's use. The ring's four- to five-week trip will be by barge, a more steady method of travel, because the ring can get damaged if it wobbles as much as an eighth of an inch.

'Suck The Air Out Of Their Lungs And Push Them Back Into The Darkness': President Beck Lays Out His Plan To Destroy ISIS
SUBMITTED BY: Kyle Mantyla, Wednesday 09/10/2014, 2:04pm
Glenn Beck today unveiled his ingenious strategy to defeat ISIS which apparently no one, including President Obama, has thought of yet: "kill them." Spending a good portion of his radio show today anticipating President Obama's scheduled address tonight laying out his plan for confronting ISIS, Beck speculated that the address was hastily scheduled because the administration has intelligence suggesting that terrorist attacks are going to be carried out on the anniversary of 9/11 and Obama wants to look like he was prepared.

During yesterday's morning meeting, Glenn Beck and his staff were discussing reports that the owner of the Atlanta Hawks was going to sell the basketball team after an internal investigation discovered that he had sent a racially charged email. Beck, of course, thinks the entire story is so ridiculous that, for some reason, he brought out an old Redskin Brand Chewing Tobacco spittoon and pretended to sob over the idea that anyone could be offended by the imagery. "You should have seen the children crying around it, the Native American children," he said, mockingly. "They... MORE >

Beck went on to caution that while he is not predicting that this is going to happen, he does have a track record of having been right about everything he's warned about for the last decade (or so he likes to...

When Beck wondered why the U.S. hasn't just sent an elite sniper team in to kill al-Baghdadi, Bachmann said that is exactly what needs to happen, declaring that ISIS only has 12,000 fighters, which will be no match for the U.S. military.

What to do with fennel fronds?
My favorite recipes only make use of the bulb, though I remember long ago making a soup that used the fronds (wasn't a big hit with my husband). Any other ideas? I hate putting all that greenery in the compost pile.
Use them as a herb, as you would any anise-like herb. Another idea is to stuff them into a whole fish, which can then be grilled, roasted, etc. Finally, stuff them into a whole chicken.
String the stalks with a thread and needle and hang them to dry. They can then be used as a bed for roasting fish like monkfish. Or toss them on the coals under grilled whole fish like sea bass or striped bass during the final few minutes of cooking (the smoke flavours the flesh).
The delicate fronds can be used like fresh dill to flavour vinaigrettes and sauces. Here's a simple sauce for salmon (via Pat Wells): In a saucepan, warm equal quantities of extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice along with capers and picholine-style green olives. Spoon over steamed, roasted or grilled salmon. Garnish with fennel fronds.
agree with all of the above -- esp a roasting bed for fish (I've always done that with fresh fennel fronds, along with lots of thin sliced onions)
Then I drizzle the fish with a fennel infused oil. There's a good recipe in Chez Panisse veg book I think - the following is what I do without looking at the recipe . . .
To make the oil, faintly warm olive oil with fennel fronds, a cut up lemon, a pinch of chili flakes, and crushed whole garlic cloves. Let it meld together for an hour or so, then strain. Season with salt and pepper, use as a drizzle on the cooked fish as well as on the onion/fennel bed you roast the fish on. Keep the rest in the fridge to use again.
There's alot of Sicilian soups that use fennel, with chopped fennel as a garnish, to make when your husband isn't having dinner with you...
As others have said, they're great for roasting fish. My favorite is to bake a side of salmon on a bed of fennel fronds with a few slices of lemon on top. Bake/Roast at a lowish temp., 300, until done, but not overdone. Fennel imparts a subtle lovely flavor. Garnish with extra chopped up to really bring it out further.

You can also chop them in big long strands and add them into a court-bouillon for poaching fish. I just bring whole fronds in the house, shake and/or rinse the bugs off, and cut them into branches that will just fit into the fish poacher. Add a bottle of cheap dry white, a few half-squoze lemon halves, some crushed garlic and water enough to cover the fish, then boil it for a while. Strain out the solids if you're finicky and poach your fish in that. Awful damn good.
re: Will Owen
Great recipe but DON'T use cheap wine. I don't know why people use "cheap" wine in recipes. If it doesn't taste good in the glass it won't taste good in the dish.
re: KetchikanPeg
You're assuming that $ = Quality. It doesn't. You can have a "cheap" $5 Moscofilero from Greece that tastes great and is great with fish and is cheap!
They make a nice garnish for soups, salads and other dishes. As someone mentioned, they are good in salad dressings and sauces. They are also very good mixed with feta cheese.
re: josh L
second this - one of our standby meals is a can of tuna, some diced tomatoes, chopped olives and chopped fennel fronds over pasta.
re: rootlesscosmo
I suspect that even with all these uses, you will end up tossing most of the fronds. Especially if you eat more than one bulb a month. I really don't use that much garnish. I do use the stalks along with some of the fronds in stock. For the amount of flavor, the texture of these parts isn't all that great.
re: paulj
True. And I've never figured out any use for the stalks except for compost.
When I was a locomotive engineer here in San Francisco I backed my switch engine down a little-used track one warm day and my nostrils were suddenly overwhelmed with the scent of licorice... yup, wild fennel had grown over the tracks and I was choppng it with the wheels. Amazing.
In Beijing I've eaten vegetable dumplings stuffed with chopped fennel fronds, bits of dried tofu, maybe black mushroom? They're delicious.
There's a new Iron Chef America with fennel as the key ingredient. Both sides made moderate use of the fronds. A challenger carmelized some as part of a dessert presentation. Mario put some in a Greek yogurt dressing.
And stalks went into stocks.
Sorry so late
I just made PESTO! SOOOOO good and super easy. I used walnuts parm lemon & zest from lemon garlic salt pepper olive oil & a large amount of fennel fern'z. toss in your food prep wizer and bam!
I also made an infused fennel oil with all my trimming's (not the bulb. I saved that for a salad.) I added a couple clove's of garlic bring to a boil lower and simmer for a hour or so. pour through a siv in a sanitized bottle cool & store in the frig. It's great on salad's in soups pasta's dressing's on fish or a rub for pork. Nothing go'z to waste around my home.
Hope that helped for you in the future.
re: JasmineB
I would love to make this pesto. Sounds great. Can I ask if you have a favorite recipe? I am not sure how much to put of everything? (walnuts parm lemon & zest from lemon garlic salt pepper olive oil & a large amount of fennel). Thanks Jasmine!
simmer the fronds with sliced onions, garlic, carrots, and a bouquet de garnis, then strain and use it when you puree a broccoli soup!
re: mburke58
I mostly use fennel raw - sliced thin. It works in various salad combinations. On is with orange, a bit of red onion and garlic, and maybe some olives for contrasting color. I keep the dressing light, mainly oil and vinegar.
It can be roasted (quartered) with other vegetables.
Flavor is subtle enough that it shouldn't be used in anything complicated.
If you or yours enjoy sandwiches with lettuce in them, you can substitute fronds for the lettuce. Especially good, imo, with cold turkey, egg salad, or tuna salad
This is kinda the wrong season since I'm in NZ, but here's a non-soup recipe using fennel fronds and the stalks: http://twospoons.wordpress.com/2011/1...
You can use the fronds as a herb (as previously suggested) and the stalks like celery, but cooking them a little will mellow out the aniseed flavour and bring out a really comforting flavour. From thereon the possibilities are fairly endless!
re: twospoons
exactly! i used the stalks, chopped, in place of celery in tuna salad. We hate celery but love fennel.
I have successfully baked the fronds into bread. It looks something like dill and I loved the flavor. Come to think of it, I should do that again soon.
Mash 4 garlic cloves and a can of drained and chopped anchovies with some salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle to make a paste. Mix with olive oil and heat in a pan just to warm through. Toss with linguine or spaghetti and finely chopped fennel fronds. Sometimes I top it with a fried or poached egg. Really yummy!
I make a killer fennel stock from Deborah Madison's Vegetable Literacy.
Basic recipe
fennel fronds from 2 fennel bulbs
hand full of fresh or dried mushrooms
tomato ends (or a tomato)
onion cut in half or left over onion pieces
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1-2 leeks (which I rarely have around, so I've never used them)
simmer for an hour and a half or so. I use it to cook rice or quinoa, braise fennel bulbs, or even drink like a savory, warm tea. It's really that delicious!

Open Europe shows its true colours
Richard North
Here at EU Ref, we do occasionally take a little bit of flak for urging caution about others who parade under the label "eurosceptic" – so it is a pleasant change to get an e-mail this morning telling us we are right about one of our targets:
Open Europe
We have
long argued
that this organisation, which claims eurosceptic credentials, is a front organisation with little to chose between it and the overtly europhile organisations such as
Business for New Europe
. And now it has come out, demonstrating clearly that it is a thoroughly europhile organisation.
The event concerned is
a report
, which was
lovingly publicised
yesterday by
The Observer
, arguing that Britain should stay in the EU.
Under the false flag of a "eurosceptic think tank", authors Stephen Booth and Christopher Howarth offer a limited and utterly dishonest argument against a British exit from the European Union, based on the premises that it would pose "unpredictable political and economic risks".
The pair go on to argue that from "purely a trade perspective", Britain should remain in the EU, then asserting that, "there is a value to the UK's ability to influence not simply the terms of trade but also EU foreign policy and enlargement".
To achieve their end, Booth and Howarth argue against the "Norwegian" option or EEA membership. They agree that this would free the UK from the CAP, EU fishing rules, EU-wide regional policy, and reduce its budget contribution, but this is not for them.
To counter these very obvious attractions, they say, "while guaranteeing access to the Single Market in services and goods, outside the customs union, access for goods would be subject to complex rules of origin ". Then, putting the boot in, they declare: " Britain would still be subject to EU regulations on employment and financial services but with no formal ability to shape them".
This, of course, completely ignores the
and the role of the multitude of
international organisations
and conventions to which we subscribe, which have a vital and continuing function in framing Single Market standards.
To assert that, outside the EU, we would have "no formal ability" to shape laws and standards promulgated by the EU is simply one of those
europhile myths
which amounts to a naked and wicked lie.
In fact, where now the EU negotiates for us on the basis of a "common position", as it does in the WTO, outside the EU but in the EEA, our voice would be restored and we would revert to a powerful, independent player.
The timing of Open Europe's outing is interesting, especially as it is matched by europlastic (and now openly europhile) MP
George Eustice
, who now asserts that "Britain can do better than leave the EU. We can change it". Once again, we get the deadly mantra that, "Britain would do better to drive reform from within than leave and risk losing all the benefits".
At least now the enemy has come out into the open, shedding any pretence. There can be no doubt now that we are dealing here with europhiles, even if it takes the media some time to get used to the idea (if ever).
The fact that Open Europe has been a false flag operation for so long, though, warns us to take nothing at face value. Those who present themselves as eurosceptics are not necessarily so, and even those who appear to support the eurosceptic agenda may have other motives. Sadly, the contents do not always match the label on the tin.

Meanwhile, "direct medical costs" were 23 percent less among those who didn't automatically have a subsequent surgery.
"It doesn't like look there's a huge difference in survival," Flum said. "But the approach with fewer operations and less cost would be the preferred one."
Dr. E. Patchen Dellinger, chief of the division of general surgery at the University of Washington, Seattle, said he hopes that questions about the validity of automatic re-operation are now settled.
"An area that could use study is how long antibiotics should be continued in the treatment of peritonitis," said Dellinger, who also wrote a journal commentary on the Dutch study. "Currently, I believe that many [peritonitis] patients get antibiotics for far longer than needed."

There's more on peritonitis at the University of Maryland.

While immigration and the Latino vote may not have been decisive in the 2014 midterm elections, the Republican takeover of the Senate come January 2015 and increased majority in the House have significant implications for the outcome of the immigration debate.

The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, with three cases diagnosed in the United States, has generated tremendous public fear and anxiety in the United States and other countries. The Obama administration has restricted air travel from West Africa to five airports with enhanced screening, amid calls for a complete travel ban. The Policy Beat examines the use of U.S. immigration controls to halt the spread of disease.
Recent surges in the arrival of unauthorized migrants with possible humanitarian claims have prompted the United States and the European Union to consider in-country and offshore processing for some refugee and asylum applications. As this article explores, some of the questions raised about the feasibility of such programs include their consistency with humanitarian law and their effectiveness in reducing unwanted entries.
The Migration Information Source has published a series of special issues that focus on particular migration trends of note, among them "Migration in the Modern Chinese World," "Women and Migration," and a special issue on migration and development. Check out our Special Issue Library.

Policymakers in developed countries are beginning to take the increasingly stark demographic landscape more seriously. One solution on the table: immigration.
The current economic downturn has made many destination countries cautious about welcoming permanent migrants, with some expressing the policy equivalent of buyer's remorse: paying too high a price for something no longer desired.
The subject of immigration was almost nonexistent in the general-election contest between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain though both candidates sought the Latino vote.
