This link is to a small TV segment on the local TV back in Connecticut.

This was the ninth (12 in total including the first 3 under VOSH-NECO.

The six optometrists were led by Dr. Matthew Blondin and organized by his wife Audrey Blondin, VOSH-Connecticut.

The clinic was open each day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

2,853 patients were seen over the four-day clinic.

176 patients more than last year (a total increase of more than 400 patients over the last two years).

I don't get a chance to write much these days but I do read. For the life of me I can't see why some fairly smart people are indulging in such a petty little catfight over nothing. Whether Mujermagnetica's stories are true or not is moot because like much of what is said on here we other NL members have no way to verify any of that. So what is the point of Nicareal and Juano leading the charge against her exactly?

I only need a Hotel for a couple of days when I arrive tomorrow until I can find a RENTAL HOUSE. Does anyone have any suggestions? Im hoping to find something under $40 a night for 2 adults ad 1 child. Thank You.

I've been reading some of the assumptions about me in my blogs and being I'm old enough to remember the "hippy"days, I've been wondering how many came to Nicaragua as "free spirits."

Hello All, I am stuck in Mexico City because COPA AIRLINES will not let me board the plane to Nicaragua because I purchased a one way ticket and I do not have a return ticket or onward destination Itinerary! I purchased my ticket from ORBITZ.COM for a one way from TJ stop over in Mexico city, and Panama and than arrive in Managua. The website did not say anything, nor did they say anything when i boarded in TJ. Now I am screwed because they only way they said I can board is if I purchase a ticket out of Managua which is $400 dollars each.

In case you didn't get that, it is a reference to the folks on "Ship B" in Douglas Adams' Hitchikers Guide to the Universe. Ship B was sent on ahead of the other ships and was filled with the important people to colonize a new planet. It included marketing executives, hair stylists and telephone sanitizers. For those who don't like Science Fiction, I highly recommend these books as they make fun of Science Fiction with Science Fiction.

Is there a cheap way to get there from Nicaragua? Is there a boat from the Altantic Coast? I am not in a hurry.

In another blog, the concept of asylum and why it is granted was touched upon. I wanted to build on this idea.

This complements the findings of astrophysicist Margaret Geller.

Althought she is wrong in her fantasy\fairytale\common "belief" in evolution, she did participate in mapping matter in the cosmos. Although according to evolution beliefs they expected chaos, what they found was highly ordered with a special symetric placement of the earth. THAT is an observable fact. The outcome for faith should be in the creator, not some "new" age mumbo jumbo altered garbage that refuses to stop worshipping the creation.

(Estado de Preparación para los Terremotos de Managua...)

The Haiti 7.0 earthquake (12 January 2010 16:53) isn't front-page news anymore and the Nicaraguan newspapers already stopped writing about the next Managua earthquake. It is absolutely clear that the citizens of Port au Prince weren't prepared at all. Port au Prince hasn't been struck by an earthquake since 1770. Never the less this earthquake was predicted by a French team in 2007! In a dramatic example of the effectiveness of GPS technology, a team of Purdue University researchers led by geophysics professor Eric Calais accurately predicted that an earthquake would take place in Haiti, and that the quake would be greater than 7.0 magnitude. The Purdue team has studied the Enriquillo and Septentrional faults in Haiti and the Dominican Republic that caused the Haitian quake since the late 1990s. You can find this study here. The Purdue study was funded by the National Science Foundation and it maintains 30 GPS precision monitoring stations in the Caribbean, that are measuring the velocity of tectonic plates.
