[Update November 7, 2014 – People complain about Colyte, but here is why it is still the best. It doesn't cause cramping pain. It does a good job of cleaning the intestines. It permits your monitoring of the cleanliness of the expelled material. It permits a better inspection than the X-ray techniques. It permits clipping out polyps if needed. It is predictable in its results, and the minute it goes it goes out, its done so you can go about your other activities like sleeping or driving. You can choose when you are going to do a cleansing cycle. You can have fun stories to talk about with your old friends.]
I have an UPDATE OF THIS ARTICLE with an slightly improved procedure.
[Update May 22, 2012 on "Colyte-free Colonoscopy"]
Tomorrow morning is the day of the dreaded colonoscopy, and so today is the day of the even more dreaded flushing out procedure based on drinking foul tasting purgative – Colyte™. Once before, some ten years ago this happened, without pain or other particularly unpleasant incident, but all the same this is now and now is always different and now it might hurt.
I am writing this blog as it happens, so to speak, partly because all of the other posts I've seen seem to be after the fact, and they all admit that they don't remember the event very well. I don't remember much about my last procedure except for the nasty drinks the day before to flush out of the guts from one end to the other. Everyone seems to remember that as being the worst part of the colonoscopy procedure. Right at the moment I have drunk about half of the gallon of Colyte in one cup increments. It's not really awful, but it is coupled with the experience of not eating any solid food. The only thing I have had today has been green Lime Jello (not too bad) and apple cider (quite tasty) and Colyte (rather salty and slightly unpleasant).
The first cup of Colyte wasn't too bad, but looking at the size of the bottle, and thinking that all of that had to be drunk was intimidating. But, don't worry about the size filling you up, because it never gets out of ones digestive tract, and is soon expelled in the old fashioned way.
So, being an inveterate dabbler and experimenter and toyer with my food, I have been trying various ways of making the drinking of Colyte into a pleasant experience. So far, here is the routine of my ongoing experimental experience midway through.
1. Have a cup of some acceptable beverage poured and at the ready.
2. Pour out in a second cup the appropriate quantity of Colyte.
3. Take a couple deep breaths, and drink all of the Colyte straight down without breathing, and without breathing drink more of the spicy beverage. Take a quick breath and drink a little more.
When I do this just right I can't taste or even smell the Colyte at all and it isn't even slightly unpleasant. As I write this is seems that to take a few sips of beverage right before the Colyte might work even better. I will try that right now. …
I brewed up 12 ounces of Trader Joe's – orange spice Rooibos herbal tea. While that was cooling down to a drinkable temperature I poured seven ounces of Colyte into a separate cup. When all was ready I took a couple of sips of tea and quickly took two deep breaths, exhaled, and drank all of the Colyte straight down, and without breathing drank a couple more of sips of tea and inhaled a couple of sniffs while my nose was still in the tea cup. This whole thing took sixteen seconds, and if I had been in a pleasant conversation at my local coffee shop it would have been a totally unmemorable experience. The spicy tea was good on both ends and the Colyte in the middle was simply neutral.
The after effects of drinking Colyte should be mentioned because they are explosive and quite entertaining. Before drinking this stuff you should make sure you have an immediate access to a toilet. The onset can be sudden, and very demanding of immediate attention. Don't even consider going out into a public place for a couple of hours or you may be providing a disgusting entertainment to some folks you don't even know.
Based on those former experiences, here is a slightly improved procedure.
1. Have a cup of some medically acceptable colorless beverage poured and at the ready. Chose something that you already like and which has a strong favor and nose (a strong smell) like a cinnamon spiced tea. But, not too hot. [Update – Febuary 3, 2014 – You might develop a dislike for the beverage you drink, by mentally associating it too strongly with the Colyte, so choose a beverage you rarely drink like an unusual spiced tea, or cola.]
2. Pour out, in a second cup, the appropriate quantity of your medicine, mine was Colyte. Generally they suggest cooling it to 43 degrees to kill the taste, but that was too cold for me maybe more like room temperature 68 degrees would be better – to avoid the icecream-eaten-too-fast cold-headache. [Update 2014/04/17 – The icecream-headache can also be avoided by drinking a cup of warm water, about 110 degrees F., immediately before starting the sips of spicy warm tea, and thus before the colder flushing stuff.]
3. [After the glass of warm water], take a couple of deep breaths, exhale. Drink a swallow of your spiced beverage and sniff it. Take a couple quick breaths, and then drink all of the Colyte straight down without breathing, and still without breathing drink a little more of your chosen spicy beverage. Take another quick sniff and drink a yet little more spicy beverage. And, if you still have some breath, daub off any of the foul smelling liquid that might still be clinging to your lips with a napkin. If well coordinated this all takes about sixteen seconds. …
Tomorrow, I get up early and go in for my colonoscopy.
[Update December 3, 2013 Drinking or eating things and then having a bad experience sometimes gets associated in ones subconscious mind. Who knows why? I don't. But, to prevent your favorite drink getting into an unpleasant Pavlovian stimulus response trap, it is probably better to drink something that you don't drink very often. I don't drink a carbonated cola more than once a year, and if I got some weird wretches while drinking the purging drugs followed by a cola it wouldn't affect my life. This might be a way to avoid the gagging that some people report associated with drinking the purging fluids.]

I'd been looking for a good marble cake recipe when I stumbled upon this one on Spicyana. The pretty design of the cake makes it look very fancy and professional; all it involves is a gentle swirling of the vanilla and chocolate batters together.
Here's what needs to be done-
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
Mix together the following dry ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup corn starch
- 2 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Cream together 1 stick of softened butter and 1 cup sugar. Add 2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 eggs. Mix well.
Combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients and mix well. Add ¼ cup milk (or just enough to loosen the batter a bit) and mix again. The batter will still be thick after the addition. Set aside 1/3rd of it.
In another bowl mix ¼ cup cocoa powder, 1 tsp coffee powder and 2 tsp sugar with boiling water until smooth. Add the cocoa mixture to the reserved cake batter; stir until well combined.
Dollop the chocolate and vanilla batters into the greased pan alternately to make a checkerboard pattern. Take a knife and swirl it through the batter to create a marbled look.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or till the cake is done.
Notes: The cake had a nice texture and the marble effect is absolutely beautiful. Although the cake is wonderful enough on its own, I thought it needed an icing of some sort; it tasted a little too plain.

The Top 5 Free SEO Friendly WordPress Themes
One of the best things about WordPress is the number of themes that are available. Even if you don't know a thing about CSS, you can still have a great looking blog in just a matter of minutes. While there are some premium themes that cost money to use, the majority of the themes that are available won't cost you a dime.
Like most things that are free, it can be hard to judge the quality of a WordPress theme. Even though there are a lot of great free themes out there, I have also come across some very poor ones. Therefore, to ensure that you get one of the best themes available for your blog, I've compiled a list of the Top 5 Free SEO friendly WordPress Themes. Just add the All in One SEO plugin to any of these five themes, and once you start writing great content, the search engines will love your blog!
ProSense: If you want to create a niche blog that generates revenue through Google AdSense, you can't beat the ProSense theme. Developed in part by Maki of Dosh Dosh, the ProSense theme has everything you need to create a great niche blog.
In addition to making it simple to add Google AdSense and widgets to your blog, the ProSense theme uses CSS that "is written so that your blog content is prioritized in the source code". Available in brown/orange, clean blue or gray color schemes, the ProSense theme is the perfect choice for your a niche blog, regardless of whether its your first or twentieth!
Elements of SEO: This free WordPress theme looks so clean and professional that it could easily be used for a business blog. The theme allows you to upload different banners to the home, post and archives pages, so if you do use it for a business blog, this is a great opportunity to reinforce your company's branding message throughout your blog.
Alibi Productions has done a great job of keeping this theme updated, so if you choose to use it, you can count on it functioning well with future releases of WordPress.
Copyblogger Theme: I could tell you why this a great SEO friendly theme, but I think the designer of the theme (Chris Pearson) says it best:
"Oh, and rest assured that the SEO aspects of the theme are absolutely top-notch. I view my themes as Web site frameworks – not just "designs" – and I wouldn't bother to build a framework unless it was up to spec in all areas."
With the ability to customize this theme to your own tastes, not only is this a great SEO friendly theme, but it's also one of the best looking free WordPress themes available!
Guzel Pro Magazine: If you want to join the trend of using a theme that looks more like a magazine than a traditional blog, you can't go wrong with the Guzel Pro Magazine. Developed by Gabfire Web Design and released at the end of last month, this is latest generation of the Guzel Magazine theme, so it is packed with a lot of great features.
Some of the features in the Guzel Pro Magazine theme include a professional control panel, multiple stylesheets and clean CSS. Because the homepage can hold so much content, this theme creates a lot of internal links, which can be very useful in boosting your rankings.
Neoclassical Theme: Yes, this is another theme from Chris Pearson, and that's exactly why I included it in this list. Once again, I think he does the best job of explaining why this theme deserves to be in this list:
"I am not a designer, but rather a Web architect, and this product is reflective of that fact in many ways."
In addition to its search engine friendly code, this theme features great typography and the ability to rotate your header images. If a blog with two columns doesn't provide you with enough space, you won't be disappointed with this three column beauty!

A recent voter survey commissioned by the African American Voter Registration, Education and Participation Project (AAVREP) finds that – with little more than two-weeks to go before Los Angeles voters choose their next mayor – African American voters may decide the ultimate winner when balloting closes at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21.
The Feldman Group, Inc., a respected Washington, D.C.-based political research firm, conducted the poll for AAVREP. An analysis prepared on the voter survey results concludes, "Support from African American voters could be the deciding factor in the Los Angeles mayor's race."
The AAVREP Poll found L.A. City Controller Wendy Greuel favored by 47-percent of voters over her opponent L.A. City Council member Eric Garcetti with 29-percent of African American voter support citywide.
But the Feldman Group's analysis of its polling results cautions, "The direction and consequence of the African American vote are far from forgone conclusions."
"Much of the African American community has yet to form an opinion of either candidate, and both candidates will need to focus their efforts to win them over. The support of the African American community remains in play," Diane Feldman wrote in an analysis of her firm's survey results.
The Feldman Group's voter survey found that a candidate's high profile political endorsements could play a crucial role in voting decisions among L.A.'s African American when they vote-by-mail before Tuesday, May 21 on head to polling places in two-week's time to cast their ballots on Election Day.

FIRE! at Just Good Food
There was a fire at 'Just Good Food' in La Fortuna early this morning and just between me and you, it has 'sketchy' written all over it. I heard the FBI will be investigating so we'll see, but for now, I'll keep my thoughts to myself. If you don't know, 'Just Good Food' is a small, soda-style, pizza/hamburger joint where a lot of us gringos like to hang-out and drink too much. For the tourist visiting La Fortuna, it's cheap, decent eats for those traveling on a budget.
The owner of 'Just Good Food', Mike, is a friend and I feel bad for him and his family because really, it's been one thing after another since he took over the restaurant about 9 months ago so it definitely hasn't been the easiest of rides. Every time things seemed to be looking up for the restaurant- another issue. You know, 2-steps forward, 3-steps back.
Hopefully he'll rebuild, we'll see. The kitchen didn't seem to get damaged, it appears to be mostly the ceiling and roof area so to me it looks worse than it actually is.. but obviously that's totally speculative.
Anyway, the first video pertains to the fire, the second was made by D'Angelo and myself to help 'Just Good Food' get the word out and the last video is an interview I did with Mike about how things were going for him at the time. The last video explains some of the issues/problems he's had to deal with since taking over the restaurant.

Eco Termales Hot Springs UPDATED
I've written about Eco Termales before and likewise, we also did a video on them a couple years back (see below). The 'couple years back' video is informative but we shot it at night and it's pretty dark so we decided to update and show Eco Termales in the daytime. Although technically, on a side note, we like to go to the hot springs at night, we think it much more beautiful.
But anyway, without further ado our UPDATED video of Eco Termales in La Fortuna.

It's hard to believe 2010 is coming to an end, it seems like only yesterday we were saying so long to 2009, but here we are ushering in 2011. It's been a wild ride. The economy and even the weather haven't been able to hold steady. Mother Nature is getting the last laugh; we are set to have the coldest New Year's Eve ever. Last I saw, the forecast calls for a high of 39. Bring whiskey, strip revelers; you'll need it to keep warm.
2010 tossed us some curve balls but overall we've had a very blessed year. We've had quality time with loved ones, near and far. Met friends, new and old. Traveled quite a bit, and ate even more. All the while creating fantastic memories I'll cherish forever.
I've realized this year, I've learned more about myself. I guess it's true you do get more comfortable in your own in skin after 30. Or maybe, I'm just learning to let go of my fears – of failure, among other things? I've pursued and achieved many things this year. Things I never dreamt possible just a short year ago. I know it's just the beginning. They say a journey begins with one step. Well, I'm anxious to see where my feet lead me.
Home will change in the coming year. As much as I love our house, I look forward to new freedoms that will provide us with opportunities to live freer. I yearn to travel. We are fortunate that we are able to do a fair amount already – I've visited Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Vancouver, Hurricane, Huntington Beach, San Francisco, and Xpu-ha this year – but I want to see more. I want to experience the world. Beginning with Italy, our goal is 2012. In 2011, we already have plans to visit San Diego, Phoenix and New York City. We'd also like to get to Louisville, KY and possible New Orleans. Plus, we have our sights set on return trips to San Francisco and Xpu-ha. And, I think it's time I get back to Chicago for a visit. Check back this time next year to see how we fare.
Above all, this year has taught me life is even shorter than I ever knew. I've always tried to live each day to the fullest, but it seems even more important to live each day as your last. Only today is certain, tomorrows are simply a gift.
