"Larva" is a 3D CGI comic animation targeted at children of all ages, as well as the fun-loving grown ups. Inside the sewer near the cross road on the 52nd street, there live two warms -- Red who is always on the rush pretending to be tough, and Yellow, who is always laid and loves to eat. Sewer is a place of unexpected surprises, because "something" from people above the concrete road constantly falls in between the steel bars; chewed up bubble gum, thrown away melted ice cream, coins, rings and whatnot. The unexpected appearance of these items can both cause trouble and turn into the source of happiness. The warms get in to arguments from time to time, but are mostly too occupied with a newly thrown object to fight over anything. Though seeming mundane, the warms lead dynamically eventful lives down in the sewer, always prepared for sudden intrusions like visits from mosquitoes and flies, or a mysterious Violet warm.

TravelCostaRicaNOW.com Hey Everyone! Finally we re-did our Baldi Hot Springs REVIEW. Baldi Hot Springs is located a couple miles outside of La Fortuna Arenal area and is ONE of the 3 more popular hot springs options in La Fortuna. The other two being Tabacon and Eco Termales. Baldi Hot Springs is big, cheap and probably the BIGGEST BANG for your buck if that's what you're looking for, but it is also fairly touristy and almost seems like it could be located right next to Disneyland. Baldi has like 25 pools in various sizes and temperatures, swim-up bars, water slides, KIDS, dinner buffets, loud music and definitely draws a younger crowd for the most part... and in the past couple years the vegetation has really matured and it's looking MUCH nicer and tropical than it once did. Like I mentioned, we did a video before on Baldi, but we shot it from the back of a golf cart and it was quite a long time ago, this is a MUCH better version. So if you're thinking about checking out the HOT SPRINGS when you're in La Fortuna viewing the Arenal Volcano, you might want to CHECK OUT this video. Hope it helps, ENjoY!

At the end of a short hike through the Boise National Forest you will find one of Idaho's most unique hot springs. There is so much flow at Vulcan that the US Department of Energy has been salivating over it's geothermal potential for years. I've heard many a rumor that uncle Sam wants to develop the Vulcan complex into a geothermal power plant. Let's hope that doesn't happen! Vulcan Hot Springs used to have a couple different soaking options. Now there is primarily one. There are others, but because of the design of the main pool, difficulty awaits for the opportunist soaker. The main pool is huge. Without a doubt the largest in Idaho. Almost too large if you ask me, I'm worried that there is too much slow moving water. And yes, Chiggers are active at this hot springs, but in low amounts. Just keep your clothing and towel away from the hot springs area and you should be fine.

Onsen Hot Spring Bath in Japan
Natural hot springs or onsen are almost everywhere and very popular across Japan. Every region of the country has its share of hot springs and resort towns. Some of the resorts are large and you may find a busy locker room and large shower area without privacy, however getting into the actual tub, after the washing and such, is a very nice experience. A sauna and cooling tub with bubbles may also come with the package. I usually go later at night and get some time to myself in the bath. The whole experience reminds me of Roman times described in text books but with the Japanese way as a model. There are many types of hot springs, distinguished by the minerals dissolved in the water. Different minerals provide different health benefits, and all hot springs are supposed to have a relaxing effect on your body and mind. Some of these springs are so popular that coffee tea and other foods are made with the exotic tasting water. Hot spring baths come in many varieties, indoors and outdoors, gender separated and mixed although mixed sex onsen or baths are more uncommon these days. Many hot spring baths belong to a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn), while others are public bath houses. An overnight stay at a hot spring ryokan is a highly recommended experience to any visitor of Japan. At the onsen though you may find geothermally heated spring water, artificially heated but authentic mineral water or a mixture of the two treated for safety. Just to be careful here, some Japanese <b>...</b>

www.hotspring.com http www.twitter.com Hi this is Scott Iverson from Hot Spring to show you a breakthrough in the area of water care in fact its virtually a hands free way to sanitize the water in your spa and to do it all with just a little bit of salt, the water in your hot tub and a bit of exclusive technology from Hot Spring Spas. Let's take a closer look. The product is called the ACE saltwater sanitizing system, and if you want to know a secret to why it's so effective at cleaning your water it's this. It's diamonds. You see? The ACE System has a proprietary diamond electrode that's capable of transforming a small amount of salt that's in your water into a range of very powerful and effective cleaners. It turns out diamonds are a hot tubs best friend. Inside this housing is the exclusive diamond electrode of the ACE saltwater sanitizing system, and its designed to go right here inside the filter area of your spa. When energized, the diamond electrode does something very unique in fact, it has the ability to split apart water molecules and when it does that, it creates one of the world's most powerful natural cleaners. It's called active oxygen and that's the first way that your water is cared for automatically by the ACE saltwater sanitizing system. Now as the active oxygen is doing its job, it also combines with salt and other elements in the water to create chlorine as well as three other powerful natural cleaners, and what's better because the cleaners are <b>...</b>

Chimney Hot Springs, Nevada
This is an unimproved, barely visited hot spring in Nevada. It looks like someone had dug a pool here once but the mineral content is unknown to me. Arsenic? Mercury? I didn't take a sample. The place is surrounded by fine white salt-like crystals. The outflow has pinkish bacteria mats and interesting delicate floating mineral formations.

Definitions
There is no universally accepted definition of a hot spring. For example, one can find the phrase hot spring defined as any geothermal spring a spring with water temperatures above its surroundings a natural spring with water temperature above body temperature – normally between a natural spring with warm water above body temperature a thermal spring with water warmer than a natural spring of water greater than (synonymous with thermal spring) a natural discharge of groundwater with elevated temperatures a type of thermal spring in which hot water is brought to the surface. The water temperature of a hot spring is usually or more above mean air temperature. Note that by this definition, "thermal spring" is not synonymous with the term "hot spring" a spring whose hot water is brought to the surface (synonymous with a thermal spring). The water temperature of the spring is usually or more above the mean air temperature. a spring with water above the core human body temperature – . a spring with water above average ambient ground temperature, a definition favored by some a spring with water temperatures aboveThe related term "warm spring" is defined as a spring with water temperature less than a hot spring by many sources, although Pentecost et al. (2003) suggest that the phrase "warm spring" is not useful and should be avoided. The US NOAA Geophysical Data Center defines a "warm spring" as a spring with water between .
Sources of heat
The water issuing from a hot spring is heated by geothermal heat, i.e., heat from the Earth's mantle. In general, the temperature of rocks within the earth increases with depth. The rate of temperature increase with depth is known as the geothermal gradient. If water percolates deeply enough into the crust, it will be heated as it comes into contact with hot rocks. The water from hot springs in non-volcanic areas is heated in this manner.In active volcanic zones such as Yellowstone National Park, water may be heated by coming into contact with magma (molten rock). The high temperature gradient near magma may cause water to be heated enough that it boils or becomes superheated. If the water becomes so hot that it builds steam pressure and erupts in a jet above the surface of the Earth, it is called a geyser. If the water only reaches the surface in the form of steam, it is called a fumarole. If the water is mixed with mud and clay, it is called a mud pot.
Note that hot springs in volcanic areas are often at or near the boiling point. People have been seriously burned and even killed by accidentally or intentionally entering these springs.
Warm springs are sometimes the result of hot and cold springs mixing but may also occur outside of volcanic areas, such as Warm Springs, Georgia (frequented for its therapeutic effects by paraplegic U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who built the Little White House there).
Flow rates
Hot springs range in flow rate from the tiniest "seeps" to veritable rivers of hot water. Sometimes there is enough pressure that the water shoots upward in a geyser, or fountain.A very low flow rate hot spring fed the closed resort, Fales Hot Ditch, which is north of Bridgeport, California. There is a huge subterranean lake below Tonopah, Arizona, which provides natural hot mineral waters to several hot springs. These hot springs were used by the seven or more hot spring spas that once operated in Tonopah. The ruins of two such spas are still visible in Tonopah.
High flow hot springs
There are many claims in the literature about the flow rates of hot springs. Some of the hot springs with high flow rates and high claimed flow rates. It should be noted that there are many more very high flow nonthermal springs than geothermal springs. For example, there are 33 recognized "magnitude one springs" (having a flow in excess of 2,800 liters/second) in Florida alone. Silver Springs, Florida has a flow of more than 21,000 liters/second. Springs with high flow rates include:
Therapeutic uses
Because heated water can hold more dissolved solids, warm and especially hot springs also often have a very high mineral content, containing everything from simple calcium to lithium, and even radium. Because of both the folklore and the claimed medical value some of these springs have, they are often popular tourist destinations, and locations for rehabilitation clinics for those with disabilities.
Biota in hot springs
A thermophile is an organism — a type of extremophile — that thrives at relatively high temperatures, between . Thermophiles are found in hot springs, as well as deep sea hydrothermal vents and decaying plant matter such as peat bogs and compost.
Some hot springs biota are infectious to humans. For example:
