Resolved Question: I'm trying to find some great hot springs in New Mexico?!? Anybody know of any?

My boyfriend and I are planning a trip for spring break. Originally we had planned on going to Colorado and going to the hot springs in Steamboat Springs because we have been there before and we absolutely loved it. Then we realized if we find a hot springs in New Mexico, it will cut our lodging and our gas bill in half (we live in Texas.) The problem is I'm having a hard time finding websites that give very much information on the hot springs in New Mexico. Anyone have any experience? Or at least have any good websites to get information??

Resolved Question: Where is the best value for snowboarding?

We have a group of 12 people planning a snowboard trip in early January. We are from Oklahoma and plan on going to either Colorado or New Mexico. Does anyone know of any good deals on lift tickets or lodging? Any comments on the quality of the mountain/snow at some parks? Thanks.

Resolved Question: Sweat Lodge in Eastern NM or Western Texas?

Hello, Does anyone know of a group holding sweat lodge in Eastern New Mexico (Carlsbad / Hobbs area) or Western Texas (Lubbock area). I'm looking for a traditional style lodge with mellow people who just want to do ceremony without a lot of apostatizing. Contact info would be appreciated!

Resolved Question: Good lodging in Santa Fe, New Mexico?

My friends and I are going to Santa Fe in early Dec, and I am having to look for a place for us to stay at... I looked into Breckenridge and I fell in LOVE, but it is so expensive when it came to the prices of the lifts and gear rental, that they ended up wanting to go to Santa Fe instead And at this point i'm having so much trouble looking for a place for us to stay and looking for a place that compares in comfort and price... At Breckenridge I found an AMAZING NEW hotel Crystal Peak Lodge and they are having a early bird special the rates are $47 a night! And so far what i've found for Santa Fe does not compare :( Can someone help me, Please? Steve in NC: I heard Taos is only for people that ski, I am wanting to snowboard :) When I was looking into Breckenridge, I think it was a condo? Had two rooms, with a full kitchen... and got a early bird special for $47 a night, pretty good right? Would be snowboarding to the 2nd til the 7th BTW About buffalo Thunder I love Vegas, but if staying there is pricey i don't think i want to stay there... __________________________________ What would you guys recommend Breckenridge or Santa Fe? Also I am wanting to stay close to the Resort if I can? If we stay at Breckenridge then we would be taking a shuttle to the resort since they give out complementary shuttle to town... but if Santa Fe we would be renting a car since shuttles aren't really proved at the resort... Thanks for the answers! Keep then COMING! ^.^ ALSO! What can we expect to spend on our snowboarding trip?

Resolved Question: Help, I'm going on a road trip. 5-6 days. CA, NV, AZ, and NM?

A few of my friends and I will be going on a road trip. Our starting point will be San Diego, CA and from there, we will head east and preferably make our U-Turn somewhere in New Mexico. We're looking for the experience so we prefer to stay at weird/strange or haunted hotels/motels and visit small diners and bars along the way. Our main points of destination is still up in the air but we were thinking: Death Valley, Las Vegas, Behringer Crater in Arizona, Grand Canyon...? Does anyone have any suggestions for lodging, diners/restaurants, bars, possible desinations, etc... Thanks! :)

Voting Question: My fiance went out of his way to see a ex. He told her about us. Do I have reason to be upset.?

Ok. We have been together almost 3 years in those years he broke up with me once for about a month because an old girlfriend ( he once loved) had found him and they wanted to see if it was still there. According him it was wasn't he loved me. That was almost 10 months ago . This past weekend he drove to visit his family in Oklahoma he lives in Utah making a stop in new mexico where this woman lives. I asked him why he needed to go that way. He said the lodging was cheaper ( stayed on military base) . Well I found out he either had dinner with this woman or talked with her. He told her about us, but it bothers me he couldn't tell me he met her and lied when I asked nicely if he had spoke or seen her. To me its all about respect. Do i have a right to be upset.

Resolved Question: Is this moral Cartels use kids to breach U.S. border?

Drug cartel members are using a variety of fronts and subterfuges - from fake tamale stands to child decoys - to gather intelligence about enhanced U.S. border security and exploit weaknesses to send in people and drugs, according to a new report obtained by The Washington Times. The findings, by the U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, underline the growing threat to U.S. security from a porous border. Mexican drug cartels continue to probe for gaps in border defenses while fighting one another and Mexican authorities in a violent conflict that has killed more than 7,000 people in Mexico since the beginning of 2008. U.S. authorities also worry that terrorist groups could exploit vulnerabilities in border security. According to a report earlier this month by the warfare group about the San Diego-Tijuana border area, the cartels are finding novel ways to move contraband and people into the U.S., including wedging children into gaps in the cement pylons at border barriers. "The smuggling facilitator or families of the illegal migrants will use children to lodge them in the gaps of the cement pylons, at which point a U.S. fire department is called in to free the child," the report said. "This tactic relies on the U.S. first responders' initiative to rescue or save a human life and subsequently creates a physical gap - which generally takes two weeks to repair - to use for border breaching." The cartels also use torches in backpacks to cut through fences and tamale stands and personal watercraft for surveillance, the report said. They ship drugs through sewers and may be planning to send them into the U.S. on the backs of men parachuting out of planes. Cartels already have used hang gliders and other ultralight aircraft to move narcotics into the U.S. These craft can carry about 200 pounds of drugs. The report suggested that the cartels were looking to upgrade the technique by using newer equipment, allowing them to bring in bigger loads. "Civilian or military trained tandem jumpers could deliver a payload of 750 pounds, while the delivery aircraft would be able to avoid United States airspace," the report said. "The jumpers would be able to land successfully at desired locations using off the shelf GPS and equipment, and at locations previously inaccessible to ultra-light aircraft. This tactic also will permit multiple jumpers to converge on a location increasing payload delivery." http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/28/crafty-cartels-test-vulnerable-us-border/ Now before all the supporters of illegals start laughing they just better understand Drug addiction soars in Mexico.AGUA PRIETA, Mexico — Carlos Antonio López started using crack at age 11 to kill the pain of his mother's death. "I started with marijuana, but after a while it didn't fill me up anymore," he says. "Then I started on crack. You get obsessed, you can't think about anything else." Now 18, López is in his sixth stint in rehab. Not so long ago, stories like López's were unusual in Mexico, where drug addiction had never been a widespread problem. These days, the country is dealing with an unprecedented epidemic of drug use that is partly a result of better U.S. border enforcement, experts say. The new border fence and intensified patrols by both Mexican and U.S. federal agents have made it harder for Mexican cartels to get drugs into the USA. As a result, more narcotics remain in Mexico where they are sold to local consumers, says Marcela López Cabrera, director of the Monte Fenix clinic in Mexico City, which trains drug counselors. The number of new patients at Mexican treatment centers has more than quadrupled since 2000. The health ministry has announced plans to build 300 new rehab centers, triple the current total, to deal with the overflow. "We used to be mainly a country of transit for drugs. Now we've become a consumer," says Ricardo Sánchez, director of research for the health ministry's rehab centers. Mexican President Felipe Calderón warned last month that cartels are no longer just trying to get drugs to the USA, but generate consumers "here in Mexico who will buy them, and buy them for the rest of their lives." http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-07-22-mexaddicts_N.htm In 2007-2008, according to ATF Special Agent William Newell, Mexico submitted 11,000 guns to the ATF for tracing. Close to 6,000 were successfully traced -- and of those, 90 percent -- 5,114 to be exact, according to testimony in Congress by William Hoover -- were found to have come from the U.S. But in those same two years, according to the Mexican government, 29,000 guns were recovered at crime scenes. In other words, 68 percent of the guns that were recovered were never submitted for tracing. And when you weed out the roughly 6,000 guns that could not be traced from the remaining 32 percent, it means 83 percent of the guns found at crime scenes in Mexico could not be traced to the U.S. So, if not from the U.S where do they come from? There are a variety of sources -- The Black Market. Mexico is a virtual arms bazaar with fragmentation grenades from South Korea, AK-47s from China, and shoulder-fired rocket launchers http://www.jpfo.org/articles-assd/mex-guns-lies.htm

Resolved Question: 29 Things "High School Musical" has taught us (really funny)?

1) High school cafeterias are vast and spacious -- leaving plenty of room to spontaniously break into song and dance -- and are in no way packed, crowded or uncomfortable 2) It's completely acceptable for the female drama teacher to walk into the guys locker room where her young male students are showering. 3) A white, 5-foot-9 junior is the best high school basketball player in the state of New Mexico. 4) There is exactly one fat person at East High School. 5) In school hallways they put up really big posters of the most popular guy in school so that obsessed girls can sing to it 6) Lucas is NOT gay... even though he dances, sings, hangs out with his girly sister, wears pink hats, and stares at sweaty basketball players because Disney does not promote homosexuality 7) In high school, you only have class once a day and it's only about 10 minutes long. For the rest of the day you can sing, dance, play basketball, make/foil plans, and hide out in secret gardens as much as you want. 8) You can name a kid in the 21st century "Sharpay" 9) There is only ONE Gabriella Montez on the entire World Wide Web. 10) If you're the new kid in school, no one is allowed to look at you 11) If you audition for a school play, you send the entire school into pandemonium 12) Some high schools only have 5 adults on campus. That's how they get away with dancing in the halls. 13) Apparently the winter musical only requires two cast members. 14) Corbin Bleu is pretty much white. 15) If you're a stressed jock, you need only to go to the school gardens and sing... nobody will find you or pick on you. 16) If you love a girl enough, breaking and entering into her room is not considered a problem. 17) Troy rides the bus to school even though his dad works there 18) You can have a laptop and a webcam pointing at a person ready to record them and they would NEVER notice 19) All stage fright can be cured by the saying “Like kindergarten” 20) Students in high school don't need backpacks... or books for that matter 21) It takes Gabriella's mom and Troy's dad forever to walk to an auditorium. 22) People keep outfits in their lockers just in case someone spills nachos on them 23) If you wear pink and have blonde hair, you are automatically a malevolent popular girl. 24) All fathers with sons in sports are oblivious to their sons's other needs and desires. 25) A high school can produce 17 musicals in a span of two years 26) It is possible for the random girl you met at a ski lodge at New Year's to coincidentally move to your school and become your girlfriend 27) An entire school's network can be crippled by the push of a bottom (Taylor must be a really good hacker.) 28) Interperative dancing is a sign that there is something mentally wrong with you and must see a counselor 29) When the entire East High School student body is decked out in red and white, Troy and Gabriella always seem to be in blue. Until the finale when they finally catch on.
