If you have been looking for VOIP service for any amount of time, you are probably totally confused about how to select the best VOIP provider. Residential and small business consumers are attracted to VOIP because it is a great way to avoid long distance fees. The price point at which VOIP service is offered is typically much lower for more features than what your traditional phone line would cost from the phone company.

For example, a traditional phone line from the phone company costs about $25 per month for just basic service and dial tone, which might include unlimited local calling but really not much of anything else. Now compare that to the service that a VOIP provider can offer, which includes unlimited local calling, unlimited long distance in the continental US (sometimes also Canada and Puerto Rico), voice mail, call waiting, caller ID as standard features, and a traditional phone line cannot even begin to compare. Getting all those features on a regular phone line would easily cost three or more times more than what VOIP service would cost you.

In addition, two callers using the same service could talk to each other for free anywhere in the world as long as they both had a good high-speed Internet connection. It is also a great way to keep in touch when on the road. Take your VOIP phone with you, and then plug into the high-speed Internet connection at your hotel or your brother’s house in Denver or your aunt’s house in Chicago. Even though you might live in Houston, you will still receive calls on your VOIP phone wherever you are.

But how do you find the best VOIP provider? According to the marketing literature that each of them puts out, you would think there was a 100-way tie for the best one.

Before selecting your VOIP service, the very first thing you need to do is take a good hard look at your high-speed Internet connection. How reliable and stable is it? You need to understand that your VOIP provider is going to assume that your high-speed Internet connection is rock solid, stable, and reliable. If it’s not, it’s not their problem and you will not be happy with your VOIP service.

As far as finding the right VOIP service, definitely choose one that has implemented the E911 service. This is now required by the FCC. This allows you to call 911 in case of an emergency and for them to be able to find you. If the VOIP provider has not implemented this for their service, you need to run in the opposite direction.

Beyond that, you need to compare the overall value. Do not include the cost of your high-speed Internet connection in your evaluation because chances are high that you would have that anyway for surfing and email. How much long distance calling do you do each month? How much do you spend on long distance calling with your traditional phone? Could your calling needs be just as adequately handled by your cell phone, or do you need to talk more than your affordable cell phone plans permit?

VOIP services can be incredibly cost effective, but if you decide to implement it from a reliable VOIP provider, make sure you are doing it for the right reasons and not just for the sake of technology.

Secluded to a tiny cove, Playa Flamenco, or Flamenco Beach, is a sickle-shaped swath of pink sand that fades into clear, aqua waters. Although fishing is prohibited, tourists commonly visit for the waist-high waters and brilliant snorkeling conditions. The ocean surface is nearly waveless, the lack of disturbance resembles that of a swimming pool and creates the tranquil environment for fish to linger in place, swim up to divers, and populate the four scattered reefs.

Although the beach has been slightly developed–one ore two buildings in the distance, park rangers, and bouts of kiosks–Flamenco Beach remains a testament to how things used to be in Puerto Rico; vacant and visited only be the locals.

When daylight starts to dim and the atmosphere cools down a bit, whatever development may have existed earlier, disappears to reveal ocean bioluminescence and star constellations, the Milky Way included.

For consideration:

- Stock up on bottled water and snacks at your hotel in Puerto Rico, just to be safe.
- While you can take a taxi to Playa Flamenco, walking is only a half-hour jaunt.
-The beach, regardless of its somewhat hidden location, is still accessible by plane and ferry, so getting there will never be an issue.

Your concierge will suggest planning a day around Playa Flamenco, and we agree. Departing for the beach in the morning, when it is cool, and claiming an ocean-front plot will give you the ability to experience the various transitions, the streams of visitors, without any time restrictions to sully your day.

Everyone loves the “tropical” feel of a palm tree. A palm tree is one of the most recognized tropical trees. A tropical tree is very different in structure from a Northern tree. A tropical tree is usually long and skinny. Most tropical trees have green leaves that seem to hang from the tree much like a person’s hair. If you are landscaping your yard nothing give s a “tropical” feel like a palm tree. Many beginners are bewildered about the proper care and maintenance that a palm tree requires. What type of tropical tree should you choose?

The above question can be answered in three separate parts. One of the factors you must consider is that palm trees cold hardiness, sunlight and height requirements. For example if you live in a very cold part of the country you would not be able to plant a tropical tree outdoors because the tree would not receive enough sunlight or warm temperatures. The cold will eventually kill the tropical tree. If you live in a colder environment you may want to consider investing in a tropical tree that can be grown indoors.

There are several different types of palm trees. Some of the most popular types of palm trees are lady palm trees, Puerto Rican thatch palm trees and silver saw palmetto palm trees. Each of these types of palm trees has palmate leaves. A palmate leaf has lobes that fan out from one common point. The structure of the palmate leaf resembles an open hand. The leaves radiate from the Palm so to speak.

The other types of palm trees that are found in a tropical climate have pinnate leaves. The types of palm trees with pinnate leaves are mountain cabbage palm trees, queen palm trees and date palm trees. Now, there are certain tropical trees that can be kept indoors. Indoor tropical trees include the bamboo tree, lady palm tree and the Kentia tree.

A tropical tree tends to conjure images in ones head of sunny, bright blue skies, warm temperatures and a sandy beach. When one thinks of paradise an image of a tropical tree may appear. This is a false statement though. There are tropical trees that can grow beautifully under sunny skies or partial to full shade.

A taller tropical tree tends to be a sun lover while a shorter tropical tree can grow in the shade. If you want to plant both types of tropical trees in your backyard you may want to plant a taller tropical tree next to a shorter tropical tree. This way the taller tropical tree will provide adequate shade for the shorter tree.

A tropical tree is a symbol that we all recognize. Many of us who have fond memories of the Pacific Ocean remember the tall, skinny tropical trees that dotted the landscape. A tropical tree is a remembrance of warm weather, fun in the sun and a hint of paradise. A tropical tree is a great landscaping idea, outdoors and indoors, no matter where you live. Bring paradise to your home even in the winter months.

We’re going to take a few minutes to look at the Mayan prophecy of December 21, 2012, as the end . . . of an age? Of the world? Of a calendar? We’re going to find out.

There are two ways to approach this. One is to use the Mayan Long Count Calendar. But the other, which is very interesting, is to use the Aztec Sun Disk, which has the five ages on it. That’s the one we’re going to take a look at.

I took a picture of this Aztec Sun Disk (see http://youtube.com/watch?v=cH6ig9Xgq3s) at the archeological museum in Mexico City, and I have it here. The disk is of course much larger than it appears in the picture. It weighs about 25 tons and is about 12 feet in diameter, so a normal man would only come up to about half the distance of this circle; it’s about 3 feet deep. We’re actually going to look at this center circle, but first, I want you to notice at the top these two massive serpents coming down out of the heavens into the Earth. Symbolizing the god of fire and the god of the Sun, respectively, they come down as serpents, but their heads are now depicted as human heads. This connects with the ancient idea of the descent of the serpent from the tree of knowledge down into the Earth. Or the ancient Hindu idea that the kundalini, or the life force of humanity, descended out of energy into matter.

It is also the symbol of the descent of this power and our descent as souls, or children of God, coming out of pure spirit, of pure energy, into matter for the first time. When we look at the inner circle, we see those early ages.

Here is a closeup of the center circle. As you can see, it has a circle in the middle with the sun god’s face, above it is a pyramid, and then there are four squares around the side. Each one of these squares represents one of the ancient ages. The circle in the middle is the age we are currently living in, called the Age of Movement, or Change. It actually began August 11, 3114 B.C., and it ends December 21, 2012. So the big question is, what happens after it ends? – there are only five ages shown here.

Well, actually, there are seven ages depicted, and the next two ages are very important to us. Remember the descent of the serpent energy, the kundalini life force, out of the heavens? Out of energy into matter? Out of formlessness into form? Out of spirit into flesh? This is a reverse of that process. Let’s take a look at these ages.

Some people begin their interpretation of the ancient ages with the first square to the left of the pyramid, and they go around the circle counterclockwise. Others begin with the image in the square on the right of the pyramid, then go to the one on the left, and then come around. I prefer to begin with the one on the right of the pyramid and go in reverse order. You’ll see that these ages fit very well with the mythology of not only the Mayans but the Egyptians and other ancient cultures.

The first square here has a stylized jaguar in it, and it’s called the Jaguar Sun, or the Age of the Jaguar. It was an ancient age in which we, as souls, were quite powerful, quite sophisticated, but we were not really incarnate beings in the sense of physical form. We were more like spirits, or godlings, as the Egyptians called us. We were more like energy and spirit.

As we move down to the next square, we come into the Age of Water. The Jaguar was the Age of Earth, and now we’re moving into the Age of Water – the Age of the Fish. The idea here is that, as the children of God descended from the heavens, they got lost and could not see the horizon from which they had come or to which they were headed. The Aztecs say that the great god Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent, or the winged serpent, descended and created a firmament so that the children could find their way. This is very similar to the story in the book of Genesis in the Bible.

Then we come to the next square, the Age of Fire. And in this age, there was an attempt to make a physical body that was ideal for the children of God, the sons and daughters of the Creator, to use while in the Earth world. The Mayans called this the blue maize body; maize, their term for corn. The blue maize people were perfect in every way, making it possible for the godlings to incarnate, to take on physical form. However, the children brought with them many little jealousies and weaknesses and vices that they stumbled over, and eventually, they lost their way, even then. When that age ended, the Mayans and Aztecs called it the Age of Fiery Rain, because it ended with volcanic explosions and meteors from heaven, one of which created the Carolina Bays, in the southeast of North America and the Caribbean Islands, and also created the Puerto Rican Trench. Some believe that this disturbance resulted in the destruction of Atlantis.

The beginning of the fourth age, the Age of Wind, is symbolized in the fourth square, in which we can see a stylized turkey. The story is that the great eagles of God, or the children of God, were now like little turkeys. They couldn’t fly very high or very far off the Earth. They were very much possessed by this world and were caught up in the evolution of matter. Here also, interestingly, the prophecy says that they began to use Simian bodies, monkey bodies, in which to incarnate. This fits somewhat with the theory of evolution. In fact, current humans share 98 percent of their genome structure with the chimpanzee (or orangutan). That 2 percent difference is a very crucial one, of course.

That’s when the children of God, the godlings, actually began to incarnate in the Earth consistently. They were, in fact, as Buddha would say, trapped in the cycle of incarnations.

In the inner circle begins the fifth age, the Age of Change—changing the situation, moving from a possessive condition to a liberating condition. This is the age we have been in since 3114 B.C. And this age ends in 2012.

The age to follow, according to the myths and the legends, is the Age of the Spirit of All Living Things. It is a time when our souls regain awareness of the essence of life rather than the form, regain a sense of energy and spirit rather than only physicality and matter. Once we gain that, we regain the real power of life, and we start to awaken to the spirit of all living things.

Next is the seventh age, the age that the Mayans called the Age of Melting Into Oneness Again. So there’s a return to the great collective consciousness, the great oneness out of which all souls were created and given free will and life to go out and grow and become companions to their creator.

According to the legends, the ancient ages were very long – millions of years long. And, gradually, they got shorter and shorter. The ages that are to follow December 21, 2012, are to be even shorter. We have been in the present period, the Age of Movement, for about 5,000 years.

Nostradamus, a great prophet in his own right, wrote a letter to his son Cesar, saying that he could see to the year 3797 that life continued. So life is continuing into the next age, but it’s not millions of years or tens of thousands of years. It’s a shorter period of time.

The first age coming after the Age of Movement ends is the Age of the Spirit of All Living Things, an Age of Enlightenment. In the book of Revelation in the Bible, it says that for a thousand years, Satan will be bound – all evil on the Earth will go, and it will be a golden age of enlightenment. This corresponds very well with the Age of the Spirit of All Living Things.

Next follows an age, for an even shorter period of time, in which there is again full consciousness of the oneness with the life force, with the Creator, as was the condition of humankind in the first chapters of Genesis. This is a very different look at the Mayan Prophecy. It’s an uplifting, hopeful, promising look versus the dark “end of the world” look or the idea that evil will conquer good, that darkness will overcome light. As most of the ancient prophecies of the ancient peoples themselves declared, Good will overcome evil, and light will overcome darkness, forever.

Learning how to cook Dungeness crab is simple: buy it, cook it, clean it, eat it. Whether cooked live or purchased pre-cooked, dungeness crab is a superior shellfish and has a distinctive sweet flavor, bright orange shell color, and tender, flaky white meat. Either way you choose to purchase your crab, for ideal freshness, Dungeness crabs should be cooked as soon as possible after catching. Accordingly, many crab boats have steaming pots on board and will cook and pack the crabs in ice for delivery.

Live crabs can be steamed or boiled. Crab boil spices, beer, or other flavorings can also be added to the water. Simply steam the crab for 15-18 minutes, or if boiling, boil for approximately 10 minutes in water. To boil, bring 8 quarts of salted water to a boil. While the water is heating, place the live crabs into the freezer to dull their senses. Do not keep them in the freezer for more than 15-20 minutes or they will freeze. When the water is at a full boil, gently drop the crab into the water, head first.

The ASMI site has excellent resources on how to cook Dungeness crab, but also a wonderful pictorial guide on how to clean crab once you have cooked it.

If necessary, thaw your crab according to thawing directions. Otherwise, lift off the back shell of crab. Then under cool running water, remove and discard gills and viscera, which is the semi-liquid material remaining in the body cavity. Be sure to remove all loose material. Break off legs; crack along edges. Break body section in half, yielding two sections with legs in tact. Separate legs from each other, leaving a portion of the body attached to each leg for easy handling. Cracking the shell with mallet will loosen the shell and then remove the meat with tip of leg, small pick or fork. As a cautionary note, do not eat the internal organs, or “crab butter,” as they can sometimes hold a lot of toxicities. Take this one precaution and continue to enjoy one of Alaska’s tastiest seafood.

Alaska Dungeness Crab can also be delivered to your door pre-cooked and frozen. Learning how to cook dungeness crab that has been precooked is even more simple than boiling it. For hot menu items gently heat the crab meet in a steamer or broiler, or bake (in a 400 F oven for 4 minutes). For salads or cold dishes, simply heat and chill.
