TravelPod Member ReviewsTotem Hotel Beach Resort Puerto Viejo
Nice hotel with a great location about 1.5 miles south of Puerto Viejo. Directly across from street. Rooms are very clean, though some amenities like air conditioning work only when they feel like it. Also, windows and doors have no screens so you can't open them unless you want to risk bugs flying in. Some parts of hotel feel dated, but the restaurant is good and complimentary breakfast was delicious. Hotel boasts two dogs and a cat....the latter of which won't leave us alone. And we love that : )

Costa Rica: La Pura Vida
... endless Pineapple fields on our way from Nicaragua to El Arenal. It is not only "La Pura Vida" here in Costa Rica but also the land of the big fruit companies Del Monte and Chiquita! I must admit the Pineapples here are abundant and very sweet and tasteful. When we arrived at Pavona where you take the boat to Tortuguero we had another 'Toto in Kansas' encounter. It was quite funny to see the people walking down a slippery muddy hill with ...
Monkey-ing around
... day since in hope of seeing some monkeys but no luck, there are plenty of napping Sloth's though! We have also kept entertained by swimming in the sea, Dan has been running on the beach while I have had a walk and in general just relaxing and trying to keep occupied. We have had our last day here today so we are looking forward to moving on to Tortuguero tomorrow, 4 buses and a boat to get through first though. We have been spoilt so far with door to door shuttles, but the ...
... rustic creole vibe that somehow just puts you in a good mood. We arrived with little expectation or knowledge about Puerto Viejo so we were so happy it had delivered. The bus dumped us at a hostel we hoped to stay in but when we went to check it out and sadly it was full, so together Stuie and I started the arguious task of roaming from place to place with our packs to find a pad we could stay in for a couple of nights. After roaming in the sticky heat we finally landed ...
Transit day
Slow 'colectivo' bus 4h30m to San Jose, where we had a mare finding the right bus to Puerto Viejo. Got off one we paid for to eventually find the right one, passing through the cargo-filled Límon and finally reaching Puerto Viejo 5 hours on. Had dinner and drank in Tex Mex reggae bar, ...
"Slowly I turned..."
... it.
An hour later give or take we are there. We drag our bag to the hotel and check in. We will be staying in a room with a bunk bed,. Steve will sleep on top, but only if there will be a pillow fight. A little personal cleaning up and Marise buys us a beer. We review our adventure for her and have dinner at a great Argentinian place and rejoice, drink in hand, over the fact that we aren't sitting in our previous room with a stomach full of leftover yech.

an impetus for color
I've been continuing with my beaded jewelry fixation, hobby, whatever it is. Based on a few strands of beads that I bought, I was able to make several pieces. I think its a simple, organic (if I may) process to just pick a long strand of beads & have one's creativity spurred on from there
I'm thinking that I may begin to sell some of these preppy/tribal numbers in my shop, as I think they'd blend well with the general style I go for. For now, they are functioning as a relaxing activity & as gifts for friends (and myself)

When I informed an editor I was writing about stinging nettles, he said: "Do I want to eat something called stinging nettles?" My quick response was: Yes!
Juicy beef, seared, sliced and served with a mushroom sauce. The sauce will likely yield more than two servings, but any leftovers can be placed in a container and frozen for another time.
I have a love-hate relationship with the eggnog sold at supermarkets at this season.
When the weather's hot and you don't want to think a lot, plunk yourself on a patio and sip sangria. It's the Spanish-style drink that will cool you down and make life all about enjoyment, not the worries in the world.

IOC Suspends India, Welcomes Kuwait, Waits on Panama, Ecuador
(ATR) The IOC confirms that the Indian Olympic Association is suspended "due to its failure to comply with the Olympic Charter" as day one of the Executive Board comes to a close in Lausanne.
IOC president Jacques Rogge prepares to call Tuesday's meeting to order. (ATR)
The decision means the IOA is no longer entitled to any financial support until the suspension is lifted, and athletes will not be able to compete under the Indian flag at IOC events.
"In particular, the Executive Board confirms that the IOA is not entitled to hold any elections until all pending issues are resolved," adds a press release issued Tuesday.
However, Kuwait's suspension has now been completely lifted after the IOC was guaranteed that the country's sports code meets the Olympic Charter.
"For Kuwait we have re-confirmed their return," says Pere Miro, IOC director of NOC relations.
"Now after the Olympic Games, the sports code in Kuwait has been amended and the new sports code is in compliance with the Olympic Charter," he says.
Ecuador Faces Suspension, But Still Hope for Panama
Miro also says the Ecuadorian Olympic Committee could face suspension if the ongoing power struggle between the NOC and the country's sports ministry continues.
Pere Miro talks NOCs. (ATR)
"If you want to keep this Olympic Movement unified, you need to have principles, and that is what we're saying," Miro tells
Around the Rings
. "These principles should be respected if governments want sports in these countries.
"At the moment, you have 21 dual national federations, one approved by the minister and one approved by international federations," he explains. "We are in a position that if things do not progress, the case for suspension may come up at the next meeting."
And a similar situation could be in store for the Panama NOC, which has also struggled with internal problems.
"Panama is an internal issue," Miro says. "But last Saturday, 26 legitimate federations came together and elected the two Olympians that will be on the General Assembly."
Panama long jumper Irving Saladino, who won the country's first and only gold medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, was named as one of the representatives with swimmer Ismael Ortiz joining him.
Elections for the NOC General Assembly are expected to be held in two weeks' time.
"This is the last opportunity they have," Miro insists. "We have put in a lot of effort to help sort out the issue."
O'Leary Receives Warning for Beijing Bet

Meanwhile, Irish sailor Peter O'Leary was given just a warning after admitting that he placed a bet on an Olympic sailing event at Beijing 2008, with the IOC concluding that there was no evidence of match fixing.
"This occurred in Beijing before we started our heavy duty-educating process," says IOC communications director Mark Adams. "There is no evidence there was match fixing involved. It's something we don't agree with, but beyond that we won't take any further action."
The Executive Board will continue Wednesday at the Lausanne Palace Hotel. (ATR)
Olympic Solidarity Funding Increases
In other news, the quadrennial plan for Olympic Solidarity was given a boost with funding increased to $435 million.
"We have, I hope, a plan for the next four years that is especially helpful to athletes," says Miro, who is also director of Olympic Solidarity.
"This will help athletes qualify for Sochi and Rio as well as the YOG Games."
Pellegrin, Fazekas Cases Decided
Finally, skier Elise Pellegrin's change of nationality from French to Maltese was accepted while it was confirmed retroactively that canoeist Krisztina Fazekas was allowed to represent Hungary at the London 2012 Olympics.

Pellegrin is hoping to compete at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, and the IOC confirmed that the change in nationality had been authorized after receiving the agreement of the two NOCs and international federations concerned.
Fazekas won gold in the women's K-4 500m event at London 2012. With Tuesday's decision, the result will not be questioned further.

Im still convinced 2015 will be our super bowl year. Take next year to improve and the 2nd year with new coaches and players we make our run.
It's not a philosophy. It's a reality. It doesn't matter if we ascribe to it or not, it just is.
I will be more than happy for our team to hit the jackpot and win the lottery and get all the right pieces in place after one season. And, yes, some teams do flip and win some games.
Chiefs: How many times have they rebuilt before they got it "right" with Reid this year? And... will this be sustainable success on their part?
Dolphins: Yeah. I remember them. They were the poster-child of the quick turnaround model we were supposed to follow... when SPARANO turned them around from a 1-15 team to an 11-5 team. How long did that last? One year? And then three years of below 500 ball before Philbin appears to have MAYBE turned it around? Maybe.
Detroit? Are they turned around? They may not even make the playoffs and how many different coaching staffs have they been through? How many random groupings of crap did they have to go through before hitting the jackpot?
The Eagles? OK. Maybe. But they could still lose their division to the COWBOYS. And if they don't win their division, they're not going to get in as a wildcard.
Arizona could be a good example of doing it right but the results aren't in, yet.
The teams you should be pointing at are the Niners, the Seahawks, the Saints, and the Patriots.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Imperial Evil Dead Red Ale (also known as Dead by Dawn) Alesmith's Decadence Anniversary Ale was originally brewed in 2005 to celebrate our first decade in business. The brewers at Alesmith had such a great time concocting Decadence that they decided to make it an annual event, and brew a new style each year to commemorate our Anniversary. The second release in the Decadence series, Dead by Dawn, was inspired by our own seasonal specialty ale, Evil Dead Red. What if we made it bigger, bolder and even more evil? The result is Decadence 2006 Dead by Dawn, a devilicious auburn-colored ale with a complex sweet caramel maltiness balanced by the just the right amount of hop bitterness. Dead by Dawn showcases an enticing hop flavor and intense hop aroma that rounds out this rich, full-bodied ale. Join our Anniversary Celebration with Decadence. You'll soon discover why Alesmith is known around the world as the place to find Legendary Craftsmanship.

text: Home // Training // Strength Training // Basketball Increase Your Vert With Candace Parker's One-Step Box Jump September 9, 2011 Coming Up Candace Parker One-Step Box Jump WNBA forward Candace Parker made headlines when, as a freshman at Tennessee, she became the first woman to dunk in an NCAA game. Since then, she has continued to develop her vertical leaping ability, becoming a dominant presence for the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA. Parker performs a One-Step Box Jump to improve her already-amazing vertical jump. It's like a standard Box Jump, but this basketball-specific exercise adds a step beforehand to mimic a jump shot or a drive to the basket. "A lot of people will tell you to just stand and jump, but I prefer the One-Step Jump because it's more basketball-like," says Parker. "You try to do as many exercises in the gym as you would on the court." One-Step Box Jump Assume athletic stance with box a few feet in front Take one step with left leg, gather and explode up and onto box with both legs Step back down slowly; perform jump after stepping with right leg Continue alternating steps for specified reps Sets/Reps: 2-3x20 total Coaching Points: Use arms to help generate explosion // Land on box softly with knees bent // Do not jump back off box To prevent knee injuries, Parker emphasizes proper technique. This is of particular concern for women, who are six times more likely than men to sustain an ACL injury. Parker explains: "You should land balanced, with your knees behind your toes and not caved in. The focal point...should be your knees, because you want to protect them and keep them healthy."

To the Editor:
Re ''Bilingual for Its Own Sake'' (news article, Oct. 14):
Many of us who advocate good bilingual programs value that goal, but historically we have been forced to justify teaching any language other than English by explaining that developing fluency and linguistic skills in one's native language eases the learning of a second language, like English. Now we seem to be criticized for failing to give sufficient recognition to the value of other languages for their own sake.
Meanwhile, some will continue to condemn the teaching of any language other than English as un-American. Of course, it is not considered un-French, un-Chinese or un-Russian to learn English.
Apparently, American students are the only ones who can demonstrate virtue by knowing no language but English!

Brunner, S; Stirnweis, D; Quijano, C D; Buesing, G; Herren, G; Parlange, F; Barret, P; Tassy, C; Sautter, C; Winzeler, M; Keller, B (2012). Transgenic Pm3 multilines of wheat show increased powdery mildew resistance in the field. Plant Biotechnology Journal, 10(4):398-409.
Published Version PDF - Registered users only 378kB View at publisher |
Resistance (R) genes protect plants very effectively from disease, but many of them are rapidly overcome when present in widely grown cultivars. To overcome this lack of durability, strategies that increase host resistance diversity have been proposed. Among them is the use of multilines composed of near-isogenic lines (NILs) containing different disease resistance genes. In contrast to classical R-gene introgression by recurrent backcrossing, a transgenic approach allows the development of lines with identical genetic background, differing only in a single R gene. We have used alleles of the resistance locus Pm3 in wheat, conferring race-specific resistance to wheat powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici), to develop transgenic wheat lines overexpressing Pm3a, Pm3c, Pm3d, Pm3f or Pm3g. In field experiments, all tested transgenic lines were significantly more resistant than their respective nontransformed sister lines. The resistance level of the transgenic Pm3 lines was determined mainly by the frequency of virulence to the particular Pm3 allele in the powdery mildew population, Pm3 expression levels and most likely also allele-specific properties. We created six two-way multilines by mixing seeds of the parental line Bobwhite and transgenic Pm3a, Pm3b and Pm3d lines. The Pm3 multilines were more resistant than their components when tested in the field. This demonstrates that the difference in a single R gene is sufficient to cause host-diversity effects and that multilines of transgenic Pm3 wheat lines represent a promising strategy for an effective and sustainable use of Pm3 alleles.

Winner of the 2006 Fred Landon Award
Osgoode Hall is a national monument and one of the architectural treasures of Canada. Of the many public buildings erected in pre-confederation Canada and British North America, it best encapsulates the diverse stylistic forces that shaped public buildings in the first half of the nineteenth century. The gated lawns, grandly Venetian rotunda, the noble dimensions of its library, handsome and ornate courtroom, portrait-lined walls and stained glass evoke a venerable dignity to which few Canadian institutions even aspire. It has been the seat of the Law Society of Upper Canada since 1832 and of several of the Superior Courts of the province for almost as long. Intended to be the focal point of the legal profession in Upper Canada it has become a symbol of the legal tradition not only in Ontario but throughout Canada and beyond.

Earth's climate varies naturally on a wide range of timescales, from seasonal variations (such as a particularly wet spring, hot summer, or snowy winter) to geological timescales of millions or even billions of years. Careful statistical analyses have demonstrated that it is very unlikely6 that natural variations in the climate system could have given rise to the observed global warming, especially over the last several decades. However, natural processes produce substantial seasonal, year-to-year, and even decade-to-decade variations that are superimposed on the long-term warming trend, as well as substantial regional differences. Improving understanding of natural variability patterns, and determining how they might change with increasing GHG emissions and global temperatures, is an important area of active research (see the end of this section and Chapter 6).
Natural climate variations can also be influenced by volcanic eruptions, changes in the output from the Sun, and changes in Earth's orbit around the Sun. Large volcanic eruptions, such as the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991, can spew copious amounts of aerosols into the upper atmosphere. If the eruption is large enough, these aerosols can reflect enough sunlight back to space to cool the surface of the planet by a few tenths of a degree for several years.
The Sun's output has been measured precisely by satellites since 1979, and these measurements do not show any overall trend in solar output over this period. Prior to the satellite era, solar output was estimated by several methods, including methods based on long-term records of the number of sunspots observed each year, which is an indirect indicator of solar activity. These indirect methods suggest that there was a slight increase in solar energy received by the Earth during the first few decades of the 20th century, which may have contributed to the global temperature increase during that period (see Figure 2.2).
Perhaps the most dramatic example of natural climate variability is the ice age cycle. Detailed analyses of ocean sediments, ice cores, geologic landforms, and other data show that for at least the past 800,000 years, and probably the past several million years, the Earth has gone through long periods when temperatures were much colder than today and thick blankets of ice covered much of the Northern Hemisphere (including the areas currently occupied by the cities of Chicago, New York, and Seattle). These very long cold spells were punctuated by shorter, warm "interglacial" periods, including the last 10,000 years. Through a convergence of theory, observations, and

Over the past six years, Rahima Sheikh mortgaged her family's rice fields, spent her father's and brother's life savings, and crisscrossed India in search of a cure for tuberculosis. Here, the landscape around the house in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, where her parents and younger brother live.
When she was 21, two decades ago, Rahima married Tabarak Sheikh, from a farming family living a half-hour's drive away. Here, the couple's house, which they share with his brother, in Haraiya, Uttar Pradesh.
Mr. Sheikh found a job as a garment worker in Mumbai, India's largest city, making men's pants, for 200 rupees, or $4, a day. He sent money home to Rampur to support Mrs. Sheikh and their three children. Here, a young woman from the area and Mrs. Sheikh's younger son on the left; her husband's brother's family is on the right
It was in the village during monsoon season, July 2006, when the telltale sign of tuberculosis emerged—a cough that wouldn't go away. Here, Mrs. Sheikh's family sits in her parents' house. In the back, from left to right, her eldest son, Afroz Alam, her mother, her husband, Tabarak; up front, her younger son and her brother.
In September 2006, Mrs. Sheikh began treatment in a government TB clinic. A month in, she coughed up blood. 'I got really scared,' she recalled. 'I thought, "This is really serious. These medicines aren't working. I better go somewhere where they have very good treatment."'
When Mrs. Sheikh was first diagnosed, she made the 35-hour train trip to Mumbai. Once there, she heard India's TB program offered the same treatment everywhere. So she returned to her village. Meantime, she missed a month of treatment. Here, Mrs. Sheikh in May of this year, by the gas stove in the room she rented with her husband and daughter in Mumbai.
Stopping and starting TB medicines can breed drug-resistant strains of the bacteria. Scans show the condition of her lungs.
In December 2010, the Sheikhs mortgaged their quarter-acre rice field for 40,000 rupees and headed for Mumbai, where they lived in a slum in a single, dark room with no toilet. Mr. Sheikh has been forced to miss work to care for his wife. Every day, Mrs. Sheikh takes pills like these.
Until recently, tuberculosis, a fatal infection characterized by the coughing of blood, was almost always treatable. These are some of Mrs. Sheikh's medicines for TB resistant to almost all recommended treatments, as well as for her asthma.
Mrs. Sheikh's six-year journey to all-but-incurable tuberculosis exposes a blind spot in an Indian medical bureaucracy that, for decades, neglected to implement widespread testing or treatment for drug-resistant strains. As a result, a curable disease mutated into a killer. Here, Mrs. Sheikh inhales one of the medicines she needs to take every day.
Physicians and researchers reviewing Mrs. Sheikh's case for the Journal say she probably had been infected with a stronger-than-usual strain of TB to begin with. Mrs. Sheikh's father, pictured here with her in July of this year, and her brother pooled and exhausted their savings in 2008 to pay for her care.
This past April, Mrs. Sheikh tested negative for TB for the first time in more than a year. 'Sometimes I think that maybe I can get well,' Mrs. Sheikh said last month. 'Maybe it's not in God's plan for me to die quite yet.' Here, Mrs. Sheikh's mother.

Let me tell you – running a live video stream and podcast every week is tough work indeed. Actually… that's a complete lie – but don't tell my co-hosts that because they think I'm a genius – it really couldn't be easier.
You don't need expensive software, you don't need any specialized "podcast webhosting", and it doesn't even take that much effort to set everything up.
Nothing special here, but a headset is a must, and if you can splash out on a decent microphone then do so; my co-hosts have been known to use USB RockBand mics before, which are actually rather good. The absolute worst thing you could do is to use the microphone and speakers built into a laptop, because your listeners will be grinding their teeth as they listen to your CPU fan and random interference.
For a few extra bucks, grab a pop filter, which will lessen the impact of plosives.
Podcast Hosting
Although your show will be going out live, you're also going to want a recorded copy to publish via a podcast RSS feed for iTunes and other podcatchers. The easiest way to do this is with your own custom domain, and some standard web hosting running WordPress and Podpress, which will handle both audio and video, let you create separate feeds for mp3 and iTunes enhanced files, and give you the world's favourite CMS platform to publish show notes. Beware though that hosting videos is going to use up a lot of bandwidth – for our show, the videos remain on YouTube, and the podcast feeds we publish on our site are audio only.
You might choose to go with a specialized podcasting service or one of these new fangled "broadcast yourself instantly" apps, but I'd suggest you leave them well alone. It seems easier to start out – but you'll be locked into their service, so when the time does come that you "make it big", migrating to a proper hosting platform will be impossible. You'll have advertising plastered everywhere, which you may never see any actual income from, and you certainly won't have any control over. Don't throw your creative value into someone else's hands.
Running the Live Show
If it's just you presenting alone, or along with your guests in the same room as yourself (assuming you have your own hardware mixer), there are quite a few ways you could feasibly run a live show – but instead of wasting your time with an endless list, I'm just going to tell you the best ways of doing it.
For audio only, I suggest Mixlr.com. It's easy to set up with a cross-platform desktop broadcasting application that they provide for free; the service itself is free; and you get a built-in chatroom for listener feedback.
It's designed to stream music so the quality is excellent, and you can download your previous episodes for offline editing or hosting on your own podcast feed. Doesn't get much simpler than this.
For solo video broadcasts, Justin.TV/Twitch.TV is the most popular online streaming platform, but you'll still need a bit of software on your PC that sends the video to the service – I'd suggest FFSplit for this. It's free, but aimed at users who want to record their desktop gaming sessions with a webcam overlay. It can both record locally and transmit live at the same time, which is convenient. If you're using some other way to broadcast that doesn't record locally as well, you can always download your broadcasts using this Twitch downloader tool.
For multiple presenters, in different locations, things get rather more complicated.
Mixlr will still work for multi-host audio broadcasts, but you'll need some fairly complex technical magic to pipe your Skype audio into a single channel and send it over to the Mixlr app. Luckily for you, I wrote a tutorial on precisely that.
Multi-host video broadcasts are surprisingly easy thanks to Google's Hangouts On Air. Hangouts is a powerful free video conferencing system available to everyone on the Google Plus social network; On Air is the newest feature that enables the Hangout to be simultaneously broadcast live to YouTube.
When the Hangout is over, it remains online as a regular YouTube video. For our weekly Technophilia Podcast, this has been by far the easiest way to get everything running – usually quite smoothly if everyone has a good enough internet connection. Just start the Hangout, invite your co-hosts, and make sure to check off "On Air" option at the start.
You can start the live stream at any time, and the YouTube part of things is all handled automatically, saving to the account of whoever started the Hangout. You can download the video afterwards; I import the resultant mp4 video file straight into Garageband for producing the audio show. The only downside to using Hangouts is the lack of a decent chatroom, but the auto-refreshing YouTube comments can work in a pinch.
It's not all about the software though; a lack of structure and a strong lead host can kill even the most determined podcasters. For collaborative editing of a show outline, we use Google Docs. We collate stories to discuss with links for everyone to read up on beforehand (though I get the feeling Dave never reads anything beforehand), comment on feedback from listeners and claim stories we want to take the lead on. Some of us even write our own notes on want we want to say; rarely does just "winging it" result in a good show. When you have more than one host, it's also important that one of you take the lead – keep the show moving along, filling in the gaps and sequeing between stories.
Have you ever run a live podcast, and how did you do it? Do you have any more advice for any budding podcasters you could share in the comments?
