<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Nota di Pao: </strong>Trovo ironico il fatto che in Italia la TNT abbia aderito<strong>*</strong> al Progetto10&#215;10 di Quattroruote con il quale ci si impegna a ridurre del 10% le emissioni di CO2 dei veicoli e poi in Inghilterra sia inserita nella lista dei <em>più cattivi in assoluto</em>.</p>
<p><strong>*</strong> Vedi &#62; <a href="http://www.quattroruote.it/eco10x10/azienda_tnt.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.quattroruote.it/eco10&#215;10/azienda_tnt.cfm</a></p>
<p>°°°</p>
<p><strong>Rimandati a settembre, o forse addirittura bocciati</strong>. Questa dovrebbe essere la sorte scolastica di <strong>molte aziende inglesi</strong>, che dimostrano un<strong> atteggiamento </strong>ancora troppo <strong>poco collaborativo nelle proprie politiche ecologiche. </strong></p>
<p>Secondo una ricerca britannica <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/nov/25/report-on-brands-climate-credentials" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">(promossa da Marketing magazine e Brand Republic, con la collaborazione di ENDS Carbon e l’Università di Edimburgo)</span></a> dal titolo Brand Emissions che ha coinvolto 600 marchi, molti hanno ancora politiche ambientali lacunose e non pubblicano nemmeno i dati riguardanti le emissioni di gas serra. Ma non c’è limite al peggio e c’è chi addirittura, in tempi di allarme climatico, è riuscito ad aumentare le proprie emissioni di CO2.</p>
<p>Gli insufficienti, a vari livelli, sono circa i due terzi dei marchi più noti che sono molto lontani dall’obiettivo governativo del 2020 di ridurre le emissioni del 20 per cento rispetto al 1990.</p>
<div id="rectangle right"><!-- OAS AD '180x150'begin --> //  <!-- OAS AD '180x150' end --></div>
<p>Tra i più attenti all’ambiente troviamo Tesco, T-Mobile, Dell, BMW, Eurotunnel, Accenture, Standard Chartered, Ericsson, KPMG, AMD, mentre tra coloro che dimenticano di pubblicare le informazioni ci sono Google, McKinsey e Amazon.</p>
<p>Per ben 320 delle aziende osservate, tra cui Porsche, Harvey Nichols e McDonald&#8217;s, non è stato registrato alcun proposito di ridurre le proprie emissioni inquinanti. Inoltre 122 brand, tra cui Barclays, Sky e eBay, sono riusciti addirittura ad aumentare i propri gas serra nel corso del 2008.</p>
<p>Infine ci sono i più cattivi in assoluto, tra cui Acer, Juniper Networks, Billabong International, Finnair, Premier Inn, Costa, Gossard, Aegon, Unisys, TNT, ovvero quelli che sono riusciti nel duplice obiettivo di innalzare le emissioni di anidride carbonica e di non avere alcun proposito di cambiare.</p>

<description><![CDATA[With the wealth of travel destinations available to us all now, the question is why consider Costa R]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>With the wealth of travel destinations available to us all now, the question is why consider Costa Rica over anywhere else for your vacation this year?</p>
<p>Costa Rica is just a few hours flight from the United States yet offers a varied range of possibilities for a vacation spot.</p>
<p>For the adventurous traveller Costa Rica offers rainforests, mountains and wilderness in great magnitude. You can go rapelling, flying down zip lines, running across bridges slung between treetops and atv driving easily, safeky and cost effectively.</p>
<p>For the nature lover Costa Rica probably has more wildlife than virtually anywhere else on the planet. Coati, sloths, jaguar, tapir, four species of monkey and more butterflies than anywhere else in the world make this a nature lovers mecca. For the avid bird watcher there are toucans, macaws, vultures and a host of others.</p>
<p>For the family vacation there are sunny, safe beaches and resorts on the Pacific coast where you can experience 5 star service, swimming pools and world class cuisine.</p>
<p>For the surfer, sandy beaches covered in palm trees and excellent waves can be found on both coasts. Many if them offer a social aspect too as they are so relaxed and chilled out that you may never want to leave.</p>
<p>So Costa Rica might of interest? Great. Getting to Costa Rica is easy enough with regular flights into the capital &#8211; San Jose &#8211; from the United States. From here you can catch standard buses to anywhere you like in the country (if you have the time) for just a few dollars. Alternatively order one of the tourist shuttle buses that will take you direct to your hotel or anywhere else in the country you desire. Taxis can also be found everywhere though are most abundant in San Jose.</p>
<p>Lastly, if you&#8217;re feeling a little richer, you can use one of the two small internal airlines to take you to one of the small runways across the country. It is, as you might imagine, the fastest but most expensive way to travel around the country.</p>
<p>Hotels range from the cheapest hostels in shared dorms for just a few dollars a night up to 5 star resorts like Tabacon Hot Springs in Arenal that charges several hundred dollars a night &#8211; but provides unlimited access to the hot springs along with your hotel room.</p>
<p>Food tends to be down to earth apart from the posh hotels and resorts but is still perfectly acceptable in nature and standard. From the Costa Rican dish Casado, a combination of vegetables, rice, beans and meat (which is very tasty indeed) to burgers, pasta and pizza most tates are suitably accounted for. Luckily the food doesn&#8217;t tend to be overly spicy and is generally reasonably priced. Drinks can consist of fantastic, locally grown coffee or fresh fruit smoothies at a tiny percentage of what you&#8217;d pay back home.</p>
<p>So choose your activities, buy your ticket and pack your bags. We&#8217;ll see you down here soon!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nature in Costa Rica is everywhere. I visited primarily to see the nature of this Central American country and was not disappointed. Pleasantly, because the wildlife leads to so much ecotourism in Costa Rica, the local people are generally very supportive of the nature there and work fiercely to protect it.</p>
<p>Currently, scientists calculate that around 25% of Costa Rica is now protected in the form of National Parks or privately-owned nature reserves. Conservationists from around the world flock to Costa Rica and have been of great help to the Costa Rican people in protecting the habitats and animals of Costa Rica.</p>
<p>There are currently 35 National Parks covering every habitat in Costa Rica and animals and plants can be seen almost countrywide. Without exception you have to pay a small fee to enter any of the parks &#8211; $10 seems like an average sum though some can be considerably higher or lower and of course taking a guide for the day will likely add an additional $20-30 onto the cost of your day out.</p>
<p>However, this money is spent in the right places and helps to support the environment and local communities.</p>
<p>Due to differences in altitudes and rainfall (plus having two coasts &#8211; the wetter Caribbean coast plus the drier Pacific coast) there are huge differences in the habitats present for nature in Costa Rica which not surprisingly affects the animals and plants you may see there.</p>
<p>Whilst wildlife can be seen anywhere there will always be certain areas that are better than others. So the first question really to consider when it comes to nature in Costa Rica is what it is that you&#8217;d actually like to see in particular? Or would you like to just generally see some animals?</p>
<p>If you make a &#8220;hotlist&#8221; of the animals you&#8217;d like to see, the next aspect is grabbing some of the wildlife guide books available (Field Guide To The Wildlife Of Costa Rica by C. Henderson is my personal favourite) so you can work out the best places to actually see the animals you&#8217;re after.</p>
<p>To give you some ideas of what you may see, here is just a sampling of what I saw in Costa Rica last time: mexican spiny porcupine, anteater, monkeys, macaws, iguana, caimen, tarantulas, quetzals, coatis and agoutis. As I say, this is just a tiny sampling of all the amazing creatures there.</p>
<p>Top wildlife spotting areas if you are in need of some inspiration are Monte Verde, Manual Antonio and Corcovado, though be aware this last option is to remote that it can be difficult and expensive to get to, and facilities once you get there are likely to be basic at best. Even an Internet connection or reliable electricity may be too much to ask for in the far south of Costa Rica where jaguar and tapirs roam free.</p>
<p>Monte Verde and Manuel Antonio make a far more civilized start to seeing Costa Rican natural history where you can spend your daytime sweating in the rainforest, and your evenings relaxing in a bar, restaurant or, if you&#8217;re lucky, by a resfreshing pool.</p>

Alojamiento 15% más caro para veranear en la costa<br />
En el Partido de la Costa, que agrupa a los balnearios ubicados desde San Clemente del Tuyú hasta Mar de Ajó, existen opciones de alojamiento para todos los bolsillos.</p>
<p>Este verano los precios de los alojamientos y los alquileres de carpas y sombrillas en los principales balnearios de la Costa Atlántica bonaerense aumentarán entre un 10 y un 15 por ciento respecto a la temporada anterior.<br />
Los operadores consultados estiman que esta temporada habrá una mayor cantidad de turistas en las playas bonaerenses, por lo que recomiendan a propietarios y comerciantes mantener los valores de enero pasado. No obstante, algunos empresarios turísticos admiten que las tarifas subirán un 10 por ciento en promedio, acompañando la inflación registrada durante el año. A continuación se detallan los tarifarios estimativos difundidos por cada distrito. En algunos destinos aclararon que los valores definitivos serán consignados a mediados del mes próximo.</p>
<p><strong>Mar del Plata</strong></p>
<p>En el destino más elegido de la Costa, Mar del Plata, los operadores inmobiliarios admiten que intentarán mantener los precios de principios de 2009 para así mejorar la baja performance registrada durante la anterior temporada estival. En el rubro alojamientos, un departamento de dos ambientes en la zona céntrica rondará los 1.700 pesos en la primera quincena de enero mientras que aumentará unos 400 pesos durante la segunda quincena. No obstante, los valores disminuyen sensiblemente en diciembre y febrero.<br />
Las carpas también sufrirán ajustes que van del 10 al 15 por ciento respecto a comienzos de 2009. Si bien los valores varían según la zona del balneario y los servicios que éstos brindan, por temporada los precios parten de los 3.200 pesos y las sombrillas, desde 2.400 pesos.<br />
En tanto, la variada gastronomía marplatense ofrece opciones para todos los bolsillos. Una de las confiterías más tradicionales, especializada en la elaboración de churros, ofrece un menú de milanesa completa con papas fritas para compartir a $26 pesos, sandwichs desde $7 y la docena de churros a $12.</p>
<p><strong>Villa Gesell</strong></p>
<p>En la localidad balnearia de Villa Gesell también hay una oferta variada de alojamientos. Una noche en una habitación, a base doble y con desayuno, en una hostería de una estrella tendrá un valor de entre 100 y 180 pesos; en un hospedaje los valores oscilan entre 100 y 120 pesos; en un apart hotel, los precios van de 500 pesos a 770 pesos por noche; las cabañas, $750 por noche.<br />
Una opción económica son los campigns, que cobran de 25 a 30 pesos por persona. Quien elija alquilar un departamento de dos ambientes, tendrá que abonar entre $1100 y $5500 por quincena; un departamento de tres ambientes, costará entre $2000 y $9000 por quincena. El alquiler de carpas durante el mes de enero costará $2500 y en febrero, $2000. En cuanto a las opciones de esparcimiento, alquilar una bicicleta por hora costará $7 y la excursión al faro Querandí, $80. Para comer habrá platos económicos: pizza, $20; pastas, $20; parrillada, $25; gaseosa, $5; y pescados y mariscos, $70.</p>
<p><strong>Partido de la Costa</strong></p>
<p>En el Partido de la Costa, que agrupa a los balnearios ubicados desde San Clemente del Tuyú hasta Mar de Ajó, existen opciones de alojamiento para todos los bolsillos.<br />
Los campings cobran desde $12 por persona y la parcela desde $12 por día. En cuanto a los precios de hotelería, las habitaciones a base doble en una estrella, $63 por día; hospedaje, $46. Pero las tarifas disminuyen en diciembre y marzo, además cada establecimiento tiene promociones.<br />
Durante la primera quincena de enero el alquiler de un departamento de un ambiente oscilará entre $880 y $1650; un dos ambientes, entre $1760 y $2700; un tres ambientes, entre $2750 y $3850. Para la segunda quincena de enero se prevén los siguientes precios: un ambiente, entre $1650 y $2750; dos ambientes, entre $1870 y $3300; 3 ambientes, entre $3850 y $6600.<br />
Por otra parte, durante enero los servicios de los balnearios se regirán bajo el siguiente tarifario: carpas, entre $1380 y $2650 por mes (en febrero y marzo los valores se reducen un 30 y un 50 por ciento, respectivamente), y entre $80 y $140 por día, dependiendo de la localidad elegida y de la prestación del servicio.<br />
La gastronomía ofrece distintas posibilidades, desde los clásicos tenedores libres que cobran $22 por persona, a las confiterías, donde un café cuesta $5 y la gaseosa, $5. Entre las opciones de entretenimiento se destacan Mundo Marino, con tarifas de $66 para mayores y $44, menores; y los video juegos, $1 la ficha.</p>
<p><strong>Miramar</strong></p>
<p>Un destino elegido por muchas familias es Miramar, unos 50 kilómetros al sur de Mar del Plata. En la denominada “Ciudad de los Niños” alquilar un departamento de dos ambientes, frente al mar, tiene un costo mensual de entre 4 mil y 5 mil pesos.<br />
Los valores descienden en los inmuebles alejados de los balnearios: un chalet en la zona céntrica cuesta $7.000 en enero y $4.500, en febrero. Durante enero el alquiler de sombra oscilará entre los 2.600 y los 3.600 pesos, y cada sombrilla, 800 pesos.</td>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#000000;font-size:x-small;"><a href="http://poblescatalunya.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/blog-vista.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8" title="Vista del Port de la Selva" src="http://poblescatalunya.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/blog-vista.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>El <strong><a href="http://www.poblescatalunya.com/poble.php?idpoble=260" target="_self">Port de la Selva</a></strong> és un municipi català, situat a l&#8217;extrem NE de Catalunya. Administrativament pertany a la <a href="http://www.poblescatalunya.com/girona.php" target="_blank">província de Girona</a>, comarca de <a href="http://www.poblescatalunya.com/girona/altemporda.php" target="_blank">l&#8217;Alt Empordà</a>. El terme municipal ocupa una extensió de 41,49 Km2 al nord del del Cap de Creus, a la Costa Brava. S&#8217;estén des del rec d&#8217;en Feliu a la cala de Galladera seguint la costa, i per l&#8217;interior limita amb els termes de la Selva de Mar, Llançà, Vilajuïga, Pau, Palau-saverdera, Roses i Cadaqués.</span></p>
<p>Dintre d&#8217;aquest entorn trobem una gran riquesa de paisatges on es combinen la blavor del Mediterrani, la verdor de les vinyes i, aixecant-se arran de mar, muntanyes esculpides pel pas del temps amb cims d&#8217;alçades destacables com Sant Salvador (671 m.) i Puig de Queralbs (621 m.). El Cap de Creus, darrer contrafort dels Pirineus, on s&#8217;assenta la nostra vila, té una morfologia amb costes escarpades resultants de l&#8217;acció erosiva del mar i vent, amb abundants valls fluvials inundades pel mar que originen una costa articulada amb cales pintoresques, caps elevats i promontoris abruptes, així com diverses illes.</p>
<p>L&#8217;any 1998 es va crear el Parc Natural de Cap de Creus, que protegeix poc més del 90% del terme municipal. Dins d&#8217;aquest àmbit, a més d&#8217;espais d&#8217;alt interès natural, hi ha un important patrimoni arquitectònic que ens permet resseguir la història de l&#8217;indret, en destaca especialment l&#8217;imponent <a href="http://www.poblescatalunya.com/fotosp.php?idpoble=260" target="_self">monestir de Sant Pere de Rodes</a>.</p>
<p>El municipi compta amb una <a href="http://www.poblescatalunya.com/hotelsp.php?idpoble=260" target="_self">oferta hotelera renovada</a>, apartaments i càmpings. També disposa d&#8217;una bona xarxa comercial de proximitat i una <a href="http://www.poblescatalunya.com/restaurantsp.php?idpoble=260" target="_self">variada oferta gastronòmica</a>. Amb un miler d&#8217;habitants el Port de la Selva continua sent un poble tranquil, mantenint l&#8217;estructura tradicional dels ports pesquers malgrat arribar a multiplicar per 10 la seva població durant els mesos d&#8217;estiu.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">No es que tenga ánimos de echar más leña al fuego ni cebarme sobre nadie. El tema parece que ha ido perdiendo importancia, y han salido a la luz los medios que están interesados porque esto siga sonando. No obstante, hay un detalle que me ha hecho reflexionar bastante, porque no me parece del todo lógico, y es la reacción de Camps.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Entiendo que el PSOE recibió el asunto con los brazos abiertos, agradecido por poder desacreditar a la oposición con un caso de corrupción justo en el peor momento del Gobierno, y entiendo que esto no le haga gracia al PP. Los socialistas de la crisis no han hecho leña del árbol caído, sino un barrio residencial, y eso está feo, pero es lógico. Lo que no me parece lógico es la reacción de Camps. Esa forma de denunciar a los que están interesados en destapar el asunto (como si  el hechono fuera grave de por sí y hubiera que salvar la vida de los pobrecitos de traje y reloj) y llamarlo acoso, cuando él debería ser el primero en sanear a los suyos. Porque es la única respuesta correcta ante la corrupción: investigar, perseguir y luego apartar.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">¿De qué va este hombre? Por una parte, quejándose de que se investigue a la gente de su partido. Tal vez no deberíamos hacerlo, claro. Deberíamos dejar que los pobres (qué risa) se salieran con la suya. Pero sería más fácil si el PP no le facilitara las herramientas al Gobierno. Eso me hace pensar que no hay que irse muy lejos para encontrar al primero de los corruptos (y si es que es el primero y no hay alguien por encima y que además lo está presionando, lo que explicaría la mala cara que tiene el hombre últimamente).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Por otra parte, me siento verdaderamente mal, humillado, como si me tomaran por tonto, con su actitud. Que no se investigue a los sospechosos de enriquecerse a costa de los ciudadanos me parece inviable. Pero encima esa pose, ese victimismo, me enfada bastante. Como si encima, una vez descubiertos los culpables, hubiera que pedirles perdón.</p>

All it&#8217;s a matter of is timing, and here is your chance to get to know this brilliant newcomer. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><em>As with other supporters, I welcome you to Feeling Mnml, Mario!</em></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;">1. <em>Tell us a little bit about the mix you&#8217;ve put together for us. (why you selected the tracks you did, your mixing technique)</em></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>Hi and thank you very much for having me.<br />
Well on this mix I tried to portray what I would play on a peak time set nowadays. My taste has been more orientated towards the Tech-House sound and you will certainly be able to feel this vibe throughout the mix.</strong></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>I choose some of my favorite tracks of the moment and managed to squeeze in my latest production called &#8220;El Mosquito Rojo&#8221; and a HUGE new track by my friends Mulattos &#38; Dsan Powell which is what I end the mix with. </strong></p>
<p><strong>As far as technique, I come from a Drum &#38; Bass background and started my career as a drum &#38; bass/jungle Dj back in the day, so you can expect a lot of &#8220;double drops&#8221; and some fast mixing. I also like to leave tracks riding on top of each other for a long time in order to make the transitions a bit more seamless. I usually don&#8217;t use a lot of Delays, Reverbs or FX, instead I try and make up for it with what I mentioned above, letting the tracks ride on top of each other for a long time, some fast mixing and &#8220;double drops&#8221; every time I can and think it will sound good. By the way for those of you who aren&#8217;t familiar with the term since it comes from drum &#38; bass, double drops are what you call when you have two songs riding on top of each other with no beats or bass, basically on a breakdown and then they both &#8220;explode&#8221; on top of each other when the beats and bass line come back at the same time.</strong></p>
<p>2. <em>How did you get started into Electronic Dance Music?</em><br />
<strong>There were two stages for me. When I was around 6 years old my dad who was working around Norway and Sweden brought me back a cassette tape from a band called &#8220;SNAP&#8221;. I listened to that tape over and over until it literally broke! He noticed I really liked the kind of music so on his next trip he got me some Technotronic and AB Logic tapes which I again listened to until they broke. I kept on looking for more music like this but living in a country like Costa Rica at that time, it was extremely difficult. I grew into my teens and developed a love for rock and punk music. I was even in a couple of bands, I was supposed to be the vocalist but in reality it was more like I was screaming my lungs out!!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Shortly after that a friend of mine from the Netherlands introduced me to &#8220;The Chemical Brothers Exit Planet Dust Album&#8221; and I was hooked again!!! At this exact time, around 1996, 1997 the first &#8220;rave parties&#8221; started happening in Costa Rica so in all fit in perfectly!</strong></p>
<p>3. <em>What&#8217;s your sound like? Were you always into this sound, or has it changed since you started?</em></p>
<p><strong>Well like I mentioned before, I come from a drum &#38; bass background, having that said I&#8217;ve always been into the more &#8220;bouncy&#8221; and bass heavy sounds. I use to be into much darker &#38; heavier music, which I still like to listen to, but when I sit down to write a track or do a Dj set then I always try and go strictly for the dance floor. I try to make music that is very Bass oriented. Very groovy and bouncy. I also try and keep a balance between what would be too dark and aggressive for the girls and what would be too bright and happy for the guys.</strong></p>
<p>4. <em>Who are some of your influences? (past and present)</em><br />
<strong>Wow -I have so many influences in so many different styles of music that I would have to write for days. Going from Bob Marly to Michael Jackson to Timbaland to Iron Maiden, to Steve Miller&#8217;s Band to Richie Hawtin to Pendulum to Livio &#38; Robi. I listen to all sorts of music and it all affects the way I play and write my own tracks. I rarely listen to electronic music when I’m not DJing or writing tracks. Twice a week on average I listen to the promos and buy tracks online. All the rest of the time I’m highly influenced by Reggae, Dancehall, old 70&#8217;s rock and even some pretty hardcore heavy metal! Ha ha ha (laughs)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Some electronic music dj&#8217;s and producers that have definitely changed my life and I want to mention are: Jeff Mills, Andy C, Sven Vath Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, Paco Osuna, Paul Ritch, Nic Fanciulli, Joey Beltram and Adam Beyer.</strong></p>
<p>5. <em>What is one thing you&#8217;re proud of the most in your musical career so far?</em></p>
<p><strong>I would definitely have to say it was when my first track was signed. I felt so accomplished and still do even today, every time I finish a track and can play it out on my sets. There is so much work behind a track, sometimes people don&#8217;t realize this, and I certainly didn&#8217;t, until I started making my own music. It&#8217;s a lot of fun -yes, but it’s also TORTURE!!! LOL</strong></p>
<p>6. <em>Give us one rare fact that fans may not know about you!</em><br />
<strong>I go to the gym religiously 5 times a week. I find that pretty rare myself LOL</strong></p>
<p>7. <em>What are some of the things we can expect from you in the future? (projects, collaborations you&#8217;re working on?)</em><br />
<strong>Right now I’m working on collaborations with my fellow friends Kabuto &#38; Koji (Cocoon, Supernature) and Mario Miranda (Bosphorus Underground). I&#8217;m going to be traveling back to my home country of Costa Rica to spend the holidays there, so that should give me some time to be able to sit in the studio with them and make some more tracks together.</strong></p>
<p>8. <em>If you could go back in time for 24 hours, where would you go?</em><br />
<strong>Saturday February 17th 2005 Club Vertigo Back To Basics Black Party. The most energetic crowd I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in my career so far and one of the most amazing parties as a whole.</strong></p>
<p>All the best in the future Mario and thanks for being part of &#8216;Feeling Mnml&#8217; as well as making an exclusive mix for us! To download it, click below.</p>
