Bruno Sofiato replied to JoeBoris's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingProfile and play with garbage collector settings and VM's optimization options. The newer GC's algorithms are optimized to deal with short lived object. There is also the escape analysis optimization, which was incorporated to the newer Java versions. The escape analysis can, by analysing the code in runtime, determine if the created object will be allocated on the heap or could be allocated on the "stack".

Bruno Sofiato replied to smr's topic in GDNet LoungeIt really depends, if you're willing to marry her, you must know (I really hope so) a lot her, about how she fells and what she finds funny or of a bad taste. What are your feelings telling you ?
So the ends justifies the means ? Sorry but I can condone that, if there's another, less extreme way, it should been tried. Sure, sometimes it will eventually lead to more extreme form of conflict, but it shouldn't be the first option, it shouldn't be desired by any of the involved parties. And in war, the people doesn't get what they want. The people in charge of the winning side get what they want.
Bruno Sofiato replied to arthurviolence's topic in GDNet LoungeWhere do you live in Brazil ? at 20 celsius I'm sweating
I live in Brazil, and I can that brazilians always thinks that in Europe or in the US everything is perfect. But in reality many doesn't know how other countries really work. As it was already been said by samoth, the german education system by far more excludent than ours (AFAIK if you don't have good grades in the first 4 years of school, you're bound to go to a kind of school where you can't go to the university). I've been told (by foreigners) that São Paulo's subway system is quite good, but if you ask a brazillian, he/she'll always tell you that the system is a big piece of crap. The last time I was in Berlin, I paid 2,4 Euro a subway ticket, way more expensive than the fare down here (even with the price raise). Those protest are by no means unjustified. There're serious problems down here like the income disparity, corruption, administrative problems. The government always focusing on tourism and commodities instead of building a competitive industry. Even so, I just can't condone violence as non-violent protest can be very effective when it affects one money making ability. What is really troubling is the World Cup and the Olympics. The government is expending like hell on things that are not a priority. More so, FIFA is pushing some demands that go against brazillian citizens rights and our government are complying with. E.g : There's a law that ensures that the elderly and students should paid half price when attending cultural and sport events, FIFA has been pushing to revoke this law. It's also against the law to sell alcohol in stadiums (ok, it's not a citizen's right per see, but a question of state sovereignty, which is also troubling), but FIFA made lobby to revoke this law also.
Bruno Sofiato replied to Liuqahs15's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingVersion control don't lead to better code per se, it leads to a better software configuration management. When you say improve code, are you referring to the code by itself or the quality of this code to realize a requirements' set ?
Bruno Sofiato replied to altich88's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingIf it's white box testing that you're looking for, you could use a mocking framework (like Easymock or Mockito) and test only the EventManager's dispaching logic. It's relatively simple to ensure that the registered callbacks are indeed being called. P.S. I'm assuming this is in Java .
Bruno Sofiato replied to Nicholas Kong's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThis, I tend to frown up those so called architects who doesn't have a clue on how to materialize the envisioned into a real, usable system. A system architect should not (IMO) be a job title, but a role that a software engineer (usually the most senior) embraces.
Bruno Sofiato replied to ApochPiQ's topic in GDNet LoungeIt's an USB keyboard ? If so, have you attached a new peripheral lately ? AFAIK the usb bus is shared between all attached peripherals so it could be a timing issue between them (just a guess).

interesting, is he doing ok now?
They had nails on them too. He is fine, wasn't bothered by them he used to move his hands in front of his face and watch them dangle. The doctor wanted them removed for fear of them catching onto something and ripping off.
Fascinating! He is adorable! :)

Auburn Hills, Mich. -- The details were different, but the Cavs' 79-76 loss Monday at the Palace has been played so many times before. Yes, the LeBron James' shot/pass decision on the last play will get the most attention. It will here, too, in a moment. But frankly, holding the Pistons to 79 points has to be enough to win. If it's not, then you're not going to beat them. The Cavs' offense is not equipped, which has been the case for months now, and it will continue to be obvious under pressure. The defense and rebounding can only carry so much burden. You saw the breaking point in Game 1.
Now, the LeBron decision. I have always generally supported James' belief that it is prudent to make the correct basketball play when it comes to shooting and passing. You find the open man. Plus, on the road, even in the playoffs, often the best play is to go for the win and not the tie. You play the percentages and work the system no matter what Charles Barkley says. Here's the problem with tonight, though, it wasn't the best basketball play.
LeBron was not double-teamed when he made the pass, Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince were caught by surprise when James attacked so quick and both were out of position. But that's not the point. Yes, Marshall was open, but that's not it either. Looking at it live and then at the replays, it seems pretty certain to me that when LeBron started going down the lane he had no intention of shooting the ball. Based on the angles I saw, I'm not sure he even looked at the rim even though he had good position to finish the play. Marshall said after the game the play was not drawn up for him. Mike Brown said it was James' decision. His decision, not his read, was to pass. And that is the difference between this play and all the others when he passed instead of taking the last shot. It certainly looked like he didn't take the last shot because he didn't want it and I've never before held that stance.
Combine that with his thoughts after the game which included this: "We always want to win the ball game, but we always say if we play as hard as we did tonight for 48 minutes, we're not satisfied, but we can look back and say we're OK with this loss."
This is what I was talking about on my earlier post. This sort of philosophy may be sound by the book, but it doesn't fly in the Eastern Conference Finals. LeBron either knows this and is just saying it or deflect blame and divert attention or he genuinely sold himself that how you play the game is more important than winning and losing. On this level, at these stakes, it isn't. The NBA is a win business and on this level, it's magnified ten fold. You can't say you're a leader in one breath and then say it is OK to lose in another.
The Pistons know and this know it well, which is why they found a way to win Game 1. Now the Cavs must learn, too.

Geometry repair
I have imported a geometry (IGES file) to Gambit. Unfortunately quality of the geometry is poor. There are a lot of short lines with many points and... without connectivity. Despite fact points are located in the same location Gambit can't identify that. Is there any straight way to heal the geometry? Which tools should be used?
Best regards,
*Choose STEP File instead of IGES (if you can)
*Else use the CleanUp Tools (check tutorial 5. Sedan Geometry-virtual cleanup)
Thank you for answer -mAx-.
I have imported the same geometry in STEP file, but unfortunately it is not a solution, because I have identical problem like with IGES.
It is interesting. Geometry has been created in Unigraphics NX 6.0, maybe it will be easier to repair geom in NX then Gambit?
What is the reason of this problem? How to avoid that during model building in NX?
I have tried to use CleanUp Short Edges Tool, but it is impossible to automatic merge all edges and on the other hand I can't do this merging edge by edge manually. There are a lot of edges and in my opinion automatic repair is only way to heal geometry.
can you upload your file (step) I can check your geometry
hi Doodek....I think Max answered you question...Since I use GAmbit last 4 years ..I also do same way...if still u face problem...just clean that in gambit or use NX to Gambit connector tool...
Thank you for answer. I have solved the problem.

True Love reflected into every Little Detail of your Big Day
The most terrifying part about my wedding to me was thinking about the walk down the aisle. I never dreamed about my own wedding as a girl because I did NOT like being in the spotlight at all. But the moment was here and as I started down the aisle, I took a deep breath and just as everyone turned to look at me, my very soon to be husband and I locked eyes. At that moment he made a gesture with his hands like he was taking a picture with an invisible camera (If you are a fan of the show The Office, you will get the reference). Nobody in the room saw him take the "Mental Picture" except for me and now the walk down the aisle is my favorite memory of our Wedding.
So how do I go from afraid of my own Wedding to Forever Love Notes?.......
Well I had fallen in Love with WEDDINGS! In my attempts to distract myself from my anxieties during wedding planning I decided I would make everything custom to match our non-traditional Old Hollywood Dueling Piano Bar wedding. I really enjoyed letting my creative side out and how much the guests appreciated and noticed each detail. All this "DIY"ing turned me into a bit of a Bridezilla or as I was lovingly nicknamed "De-Manda". But hey, you are only a bride once (YOBO!) and I believe your wedding day should reflect the Love and Beauty of your relationship and the commitment you are making to Forever Love another person.
Being a perfectionist myself I understand brides who care about each pearl or crystal and I enjoy working with new ideas, colors and products that my customers help create. Since opening my Etsy shop in 2011 Forever Love Notes accessories have been a part of over 2,000 weddings and featured on several Blogs.
Because of Etsy I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Brides from all over the World to create one of a kind pieces that will be used when the spotlight is on and the details matter and I feel so fortunate to be a small part of each Brides Big Day.

WASHINGTON (AP) Ś Schoolteachers should have to pass a stringent exam Ś much like the bar exam for lawyers Ś before being allowed to enter the profession, one of the nationÆs largest teachers unions said Monday.
The American Federation of Teachers called for a tough new written test to be complimented by stricter entrance requirements for teacher training programs, such as a minimum grade point average.
ōItÆs time to do away with a common rite of passage into the teaching profession, whereby newly minted teachers are tossed the keys to their classrooms, expected to figure things out, and left to see if they and their students sink or swim,ö said AFT President Randi Weingarten, calling that system unfair to students and teachers alike.
The proposal, released Monday as part of a broader report on elevating the teaching profession, calls for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards to take the lead in developing a new test. The nonprofit group currently administers the National Board Certification program, an advanced, voluntary teaching credential that goes beyond state standards.
There is no single, national standard for teacher certification, although the federal government does ask states to meet certain criteria to be eligible for federal funding.
The proposal by a major teachers union to impose tougher requirements on its own members may signal a shift in tone for a profession facing heightened scrutiny. In recent years, unions such as AFT have resisted calls to end tenure and to tie teachersÆ evaluations to their studentsÆ test scores.
But by embracing more rigorous certification standards, the union hopes to raise the status of the teaching profession, which could reap future rewards when it comes to compensation and other benefits. In its report, AFT drew comparisons between teaching and other professions that require advanced professional training, such as medicine and law.
The proposal also calls for making entrance into teacher education programs more competitive. Candidates should be required to have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, the AFT said, in addition to formal interviews and 10 hours of field experience.
ōIf you impose that kind of restriction, that means youÆre signaling to society at large that not everybody can be a teacher. YouÆre saying itÆs hard to get in. ItÆs hard to be good,ö said Arthur McKee of the National Council on Teacher Quality, which supports the proposal.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan, too, commended the proposal, describing it as part of a broader push to raise the bar for teachers and enable schools to predict a teacherÆs potential for success in the classroom.
ōToo many new teachers enter our schools feeling unprepared. We shouldnÆt tolerate that in a profession so important to our countryÆs future,ö he said in a statement.
The unionÆs executive council will consider whether to approve the report at a February meeting. Other teachers unions including the National Education Association have yet to weigh in on the proposal.

The Governor's office thought to ask because the UConn Foundation had provided similar support for Connecticut Governor Malloy. With a strong belief that her attendance would advance the work of URI as well as the economic interests of the state, the URI Foundation agreed to cover travel costs up to $10,000. Since that time, a number of URI donors and alums who strongly support the mission of the University and the work of state leadership to accelerate economic growth have nonetheless expressed their disagreement with such a use of Foundation funds. My responsibility as Chair of the Foundation is to provide thoughtful, effective and responsive stewardship of the resources entrusted to our care. I made a mistake in not considering the range of perspective our donors might have and I am sorry for that. Due to the threat of severe weather, the Governor is not attending the Summit after all and the URI Foundation will recover all support that had been extended. Everyone involved in this decision had the best of intentions, but I will redouble my commitment to representing all URI Foundation stakeholders and will contemplate changes to ensure a more thoughtful consideration of their perspective in the future. Lorne A. Adrain Executive Board Chair The Foundation's initial statement highlighting the value of the trip to URI, dated 1/15/16

Washington Coast
Photographic Story We had traveled to the Pacific Northwest to photograph the rugged coast. However, when I went to the rain forest in Olympic National Park, I felt so much at home that I couldn't leave. The smells and lush green reminded me of Florida swamps. It took me a while, but I finally made it to Third Beach to photograph the coast. Analog – Archival Silver Gelatin Photograph Clyde's silver gelatin black and white images are created using an 8" x 10", 11" x 14", or 12" x 20" view camera. Clyde prints his images in his own darkroom on fiber-base paper in a limited edition. The photographs are selenium toned, then mounted and matted to current archival standards. His images come in sizes from 8" x 10" inches to 5'x 8' feet. His love of art and nature is seen in the exceptional detail and more subtle textures of his photography.

My husband & I have owned property in Galveston for 30 years because it is so close to Houston & we always feel as if we have had a fun & relaxing vacation every time we would go to Galveston.
We always loved the Emerald by the Sea in Galveston & 1st saw it in 2008 when it was being built. We returned to the Emerald in 2013 after we sold our last beach house in Galveston.
Then after we sold 6 of our 8 condos in Cancun, we bought this beautiful Emerald by the Sea 3 bed/ 2.5 bath condo in Galveston . It is Flipkey #8568048. This Emerald condo has an incredible wrap around balcony, just like the wrap around balcony we have in our 2 penthouses in Cancun. Please see below the ad #s for our 2 Yalmakan penthouses in Cancun.
Flipkey #4304535. Cancun Studio Penthouse.
Flipkey #7202694. Cancun 1 Bedroom Penthouse.
Fliokey #7347999. Cancun Combined 2 bed/2 bath penthouse.
My husband and I have been traveling to Cancun since 1987 because he likes to scuba dive. To keep myself busy, I began looking for reasonably priced properties because we wanted to eventually part-time retire in Cancun. I feel we have found the best value for the money in our 2 penthouses at Yalmakan Hotel in Cancun. Please see the Flipkey ad #s above.
All properties are great for monthly & long term rentals as well, so let us know. Thanks so much.

Let's make sure the server still runs on 1.4 for embedding in which case the user will not be able to use LDAPS. Also thanks Trustin for working this in the sandbox for now. I will start migrating the other projects today for m2 configuration. Alex

When maximum ethnic group comprehend around OxyContin or other than prescription opiods, they in real time deliberation "addiction." This is deceiving, because these medications dramatic work a duty in pain headship for quite a lot of patients. Physical dependence on drug painkillers can be knowledgeable by someone who has interpreted them for niggle admin long than several weeks, and when use is stopped, populace may suffer the condition of corporeal bill. The bug of habituation has more than than vindicatory a corporeal dependency component, affecting all aspects of condition and day by day life span.
Addiction to substances as well as prescription painkillers has social, physiological, medicine and biological science factors. And habituation to opiod painkillers is nearly always a fact that sneaks up on the unfortunate person. Most don't recognise they are drug-addicted.
If a medico has prescribed mind-bending medications, with painkillers to you on a semipermanent basis, you may assume this is fitting. The sincerity is that long use of opiod narcotics, which view the wholesale obloquy OxyContin, Percocet, Vicoden, Lorcet, Tramodol and Percodan, can create a non-judgmental attitude that requires a difficult indefinite quantity to do admin twinge. A person's ache may even increase, a clause titled hyperalgesia. Other psychedelic medicine ill-usage includes depressants nearly new to pleasure mental state and stimulants for the reporting of ADHD and podginess. During healing valuation at Hanley Center we see a full pct of double diagnosis, as well as depression, next to those patients who go through from addictive medicament dependence.Post ads:

Sometimes general public howler ecological retraction symptoms from medications for a continuation of cramp symptoms, so they go on to desire twinge drug. When state becomes addiction, people are caught in the hurt of utmost behaviour. Doctor purchasing can become as example overwhelming as a cut instance job, as the nut extremely seeks a wider perimeter of doctors to bring down medications. Others may even desire out medical science for their perceived aching retributory so they can get access to drug medications.
Common symptoms of opiod medicine dependency consider blackouts and inability to get to manual labour on case or at all, different addible behaviors, electric upheavals and purpose swings, interpersonal problems, seclusion and the break of every day vivacity in unnumerable of ways. Often those who mishandle painkillers want new mind-expanding medications for nod off disorders, disquiet and anxiousness. If they are doctor of medicine shopping, the medical practitioner or shrink may not cognise the new drugs individual taken in this potentially touch-and-go mix. Alcohol is sometimes extra to create an unknowingly deathly nip.
A considerably precarious development that has emerged about the land is the stomach-ache admin medical institution. Pain medicament is the old-hat and import of galore of these clinics, and for Americans who tender to the speedy fix proposal of everything, this sounds like the label. Successful overnight residence frequent pain guidance is more than complex, and requires the live contribution of the delicate.Post ads:

Don't take no notice of your pain
If you submit yourself to pain, don't rebuke it. Effective affliction analysis needs to computer code the affliction source, the patient's learned profession past times and past times of objects use or abuse, the level of twinge and how lifelong the headache has persisted. The biological science and psychological experience is that the longer the torment exists untreated, the much potential it will turn chronic headache. The body's medical specialty processes can certainly formulate a representation of headache in the main jumpy set of laws.
What will your options be in headache treatment? Will medical science be indispensable or will you move in a instruction of blue-collar therapy? If surgery, have you had corresponding surgeries before? Will you shadow up with bodily psychoanalysis and nonarbitrary exercises? I know of articulatio genus surgeries, for example, that furthermost plausible would have been delighted had the forbearing in actual fact done the recommended torturesome but effective physiological exercises post-surgery.

Reaching for a cognitive content may not view seizure the slopes after a multi-fracture accident, but it may propose one able to hike the dog for a land mile or two.
A multidisciplinary backache behaviour standpoint is best successful because it treats the in one piece person, spiritually and perceptibly. There are potent newer medications that are non-addictive, but are slower acting. These were oftentimes manufacturing to luxury some other requisites such as has devaluation and seizures, specified as Duloxetine (Cymbalta), an medicine. Nonsteroidal drugs, such as over-the-counter or prescription Tylenol, empirin or naproxen, such as Aleve, and prescription Naprosyn may be advisable.
Lifestyle changes are repeatedly key in cramp government and recovery, such as as weight loss and dietary changes, conformable take a nap patterns smoking halt and exercising. There really isn't a hurried fix, but an unified position. Mind-body exercises specified as yoga are popular, and the ruminative Tai Chi are disciplines that have now been widely adopted in the U.S.
The disease of drug habituation is weakening. Many addicts try to hospital ward by themselves, lone to swerve to the psychoactive medicine over again. "Cold turkey" retraction after long-term use of an opiod medication is severe, next to symptoms such as as cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness, and can be dangerous if not medically supervised.
There are copious ward clinics that insure a high-speed turn-around and seizure comprise addiction, but this bug is multi-faceted. Just as the management of hurting should be multi-disciplinary, holistic physiological condition attention is maximum important as well, as well as lock up learned profession management. Assessment and behaviour diplomacy consider wellness, physical, intellectual and supernatural components, and singly proper consolidative and articulate therapies. The duty of the family, help groups and regularly continued charge romp a role in relapse restriction and no-hit advance.

The fad in the Aromatherapy environment has caused every imminent teething troubles. Since well-nigh everyone cognise that Aromatherapy oils are necessary oils that helps in recuperative the body and mind, some people are merchandising determinate oils as Aromatherapy products as an alternative of the genuine instinctive Aromatherapy central oils. As one who may be curious in this subject, you will deprivation to shelter your same from any trial that may well end product to your superior these so named companies that marketplace these products.
A press is brought to brain because of this development; How do i cognize if an oil is Real Aromatherapy oil. Well i will answer that ask shortly.
Below are the at all distance you can scrutinize the accuracy of any band offering you the select to buy any of their Aromatherapy oils.

2. Investigate the company's circumstance with the BBB.
3. Beware of any ensemble that uses smooth to get you to buy their product. Genuine companies don't sell beside slicks designed to get you to buy from them.
A worthy cast gives you all the needful information active a product and you resolve to buy lacking any force per unit area from them. They award their goods to you in a prescribed way. Credibility is everything to a suitable joint venture.
When you see slicks that says: "The service is limited, lay down at once" you will call for to be cautious. Because you can see the one and the same merchandise marketed by different organization with silver wager on official recognition elsewhere whether online or offline, why trouble about it's pocket-size figure with a hard to please company? What makes it divergent from the residual offered elsewhere? Why should the band report you that if you can't buy now, you custom get it later? A truthful business next to legitimate oil can not require you to lay down any service. Those slicks are notably inexpert and uncalled for.
Here is another case in point of another slick; "Buy from us, we have the cheapest and low cost oils ever" I niggardly the planetary is a highly titanic place, how does this camaraderie know there is no other better guests who proffer a belittle value of one and the same product?
To tell linking clumsy mercantilism satiny versus professional merchandising advertisement, let's reflect the scenarios below:
A real business will elasticity you the following news on Aromatherapy principal oils:
- Botanical name
- Description
- Extraction process
- Common purpose
- Smell or Aroma
- Color
- Related History to the merchandise.
I also deprivation you to know that Original Aromatherapy oils carry the said unprocessed signature near their organic herbs, shrubs or works or angiosperm label.

*African Bluegrass
*Anise Star
*Australian Balm Mint Bush
*Angelica Root

Cape Cod MA (SPX) Apr 30, 2014
Approved in 2012, Brazil's new Forest Code has few admirers. Agricultural interests argue that it threatens the livelihoods of farmers. Environmentalists counter that it imperils millions of hectares of forest, threatening to release the billions of tons of carbon they contain.
A new study, co-authored by Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC) scientists Michael Coe, Marcia Macedo and Brazilian colleagues, published this week in Science, aims to clarify the new law. Entitled "Cracking Brazil's Forest Code," the article is the first to quantify the implications of recent changes to the Forest Code and identify new opportunities and challenges for conservation.
The Brazilian Forest Code is the largest single protector of forests on private properties, which contain over half of Brazil's remaining forests and savannahs. Though championed by conservationists, the law has proved challenging to enforce.
As global demand for beef and animal feed increased in the early 2000s, annual deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon surged to more than 20,000 km2 per year - prompting global outrage and a redoubling of efforts to improve enforcement. These pressures inspired a backlash from agribusiness interests, who lobbied to reduce the burden put on landowners to conserve and restore forests.
The new Forest Code is the product of a long and bitter debate in the Brazilian congress, fueled by tensions between the agribusiness lobby, government enforcement agencies, and conservationists. According to the study, the new law granting amnesty to landowners who deforested illegally before 2008, reduces the area to be reforested from 500,000 km2 to 210,000 km2.
"The agribusiness lobby should see this as a big win," explains lead author Britaldo Soares-Filho of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG,) "but if they continue to boycott and sabotage the Forest Code, they will be shooting themselves in the foot." Ultimately, he warns, "agricultural productivity depends on the conservation of native ecosystems and the climate stability they provide."
The recent changes affect conservation in all Brazilian biomes, including the Amazon, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest. "Brazil has done a great job reducing deforestation in the Amazon, but the other biomes have been short-changed in the process," notes Dr. Macedo. Only 50% of the Cerrado forest remains intact and deforestation is increasing.
This study estimates that the new law allows legal deforestation of an additional 400,000 km2 of the Cerrado, "That's an area almost the size of California. Allowing that to happen would be an environmental disaster," emphasizes Dr. Macedo.
Despite big losses for the environment, the law also introduced two key conservation measures that could pave the way for commoditizing standing forests in all biomes. First, it creates a new market that allows landowners to trade surplus forests (those that could be legally deforested) on one property, to offset restoration requirements on another.
The study found that, if fully implemented, this could reduce the areas requiring restoration to as little as 5,500 km2 of arable land. The new law also creates an online land registry system that streamlines the process for landowners to register their property boundaries and environmental information.
More advanced monitoring and documentation of over 5 million rural properties will dramatically improve enforcement. According to Dr. Coe, "No other country has attempted a registry of this scale. By allowing greater transparency, the system has the potential to help improve compliance and therefore become a big win for the environment."
The Forest Code continues to be difficult to enforce and some worry that the amnesty provided for illegal deforestation may set a dangerous precedent, creating the expectation of impunity for future deforestation. "To be effective, the Forest Code must be tied to economic incentives that reward landowners who conserve native vegetation," says co-author Raoni Rajao of UFMG.
Fortunately, private initiatives have sprung up to support compliance in the form of international certification standards, commodity roundtables, and boycotts of products produced on newly deforested land. New public initiatives like Brazil's Low-Carbon Agriculture Program, which provides US$1.5 billion in annual subsidized loans to improve agricultural production, while reducing associated carbon emissions, are also key. Such initiatives will be critical if Brazil hopes to succeed in reconciling environmental conservation and agricultural development.

I need your advice!
My husband and I are in our 30's and like to travel to off the beaten path places and we enjoy beautiful beaches. This is our first trip to CR for 1 1/2 weeks. We plan on going in Feb. or March. I've been spending hours doing research and I still can't figure out my itinerary.
Since it's our first time, maybe we should check out 2 areas of CR?
It seems like every one goes to Arenal. I think I want to check out the beaches but would I be making a mistake by skipping Arenal? I'm also interested in flying to Tambor and staying in Santa Teresa but I think just staying there for the entire trip might be a waste? What would be another beach town to split up the trip? I think I'll have to rent a car but I don't want to spend hours driving to get to places.
Any help would be so appreciated.

Currently being filmed in Vancouver, The Killing has the potential to be one of the most talked-about and obsessively followed new television dramas of the 2011 season. Inspired by the Danish sensation, Forbrydelsen, The Killing is a thriller about the murder of a teenage girl (sounds a little like Twin Peaks to me) and its effect upon the community. Forbrydelsen, by Scandinavian writer Soren Sveistrup is a hard-boiled thriller in the vign of crime novelists Henning Mankell and the late Stieg Larssonn's (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) work.
"Each episode will relate a single day in the life of the investigation, Sud revealed, "and the life of this family, and the life of a political campaign."
"The most important thing to me is not pornographize murder," Sud said. "I want to show the real cost ... when a child is lost. What you see on the screen, in the clips that are already out there, is incredibly graphic, and heartbreaking.
"But we're not spending time looking at a dead child's body and just analyzing that. We're spending time with all the people who have lost her, the impact of this loss on her mother, on her siblings, on her father.
Sud says she's still pinching herself that The Killing landed at AMC, "a network that's absolutely dedicated to slow-burn storytelling -- slow-burn in the sense that every moment doesn't have to be prettified or easy to digest. (From) character to everything that every writer dreams of, I've been given the ability and opportunity to really, really tell this story in a way that's authentic and true."

ROCKLAND, Maine — Aldersgate United Methodist Church of Rockland recently hosted a youth group from Hilltop United Methodist Church in Sioux Falls, S. D. The group of 34 students, ages 12 to 18, had never
been to the east coast and had never seen an ocean. They arrived around 10 p.m, on a Saturday, had snacks, played games and slept in sleeping bags spread around the sanctuary.
The next morning breakfast was prepared for them, after which they stowed their gear in three vans, set up chairs for morning worship and left for Mt. Battie in Camden, a boat trip around Camden Harbor and a walk on the Rockland breakwater to the lighthouse.
The youngsters are on a mission trip to Camp Mechuwana in Winthrop, a church camp run by the Methodist Churches in Maine. Their goal is to reshingle the roof of one of the buildings, and dolandscaping and painting.
Similar mission trips from Hilltop UMC have been to Alaska, Mexico, and Rosebud Indian Reservation in
South Dakota.

Nuvango Gallery's current exhibition In Our Veins is proud to be hosting 19 wildly creative North American artists. Though working in several different mediums and styles, these artists are all tied together within the current artistic trend of 'pop-realism', an intricate play between highly realistic detail, and surreal characters. Get to know the artists before exhibition closes on March 13th. Read on to dive into the career, practice and lives of the talented artists participating in In Our Veins. This week as part 3 of the series, meet Kevin Tong, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Bruce White, Justin Hopkins and Sarah Joncas.
Kevin Tong is a freelance illustrator in Austin, Texas. Screenprinting was his first passion, and still plays a major role in his practice, along with he's best known for his striking limited edition screen printed posters for huge names in the entertainment industry such as The Black Keys, MGMT, Bon Iver, Mogwai, Circa Survive and The Ramones. He has also authored and illustrated his own children's book "Earth Machine" which follows the wild and impatient imagination of a young boy anticipating the morning. Tong is inspired by the everyday, as his work often speaks to nostalgia, familiarities, philosophy and science. You can visit Kevin Tong's piece "Target Practice" in the salon wall located on the East wall of Nuvango Gallery.
Sam Wolfe Connelly currently lives and works in New York City, after attending the Savannah College of Art & Design. Connelly's work has been compared to the imagery or feeling of trying to remember a beautiful dream after waking up by Hi Fructose Magazine. This perfectly describes his soft yet detailed approach to figures, animals and scenery. Connelly has been featured in several fine art publications, group and solo shows internationally. You can visit Sam Wolfe Connelly's two works "The Thicket Stirs" and "Dance With Me" in the salon wall located on the East wall of Nuvango Gallery.
Bruce White is a BFA printmaking graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a tattoo artist for over 13 years, and a painter. White is incredibly unique in his approach to painting, as he believes Jesus and Elvis are not the only idols who deserve to be immortalized on a velvety canvas. White paints on black velvet to give impressive depth to his pop-culture portraits, creating a true black (as black velvet absorbs light) as a background or shadow. You can visit Bruce White's two velvet portraits "Bride of the Monster" and "Hunter and Prey" on the West wall of Nuvango Gallery.
Justin Hopkins grew up in the small but beautiful city of Mukilteo, Washington where he began drawing at the age of 6 and quickly excelled to working on corporate advertisements by age 14. Not too long after, Hopkins was hired by the legendary illustrator Charles White III and moved to Los Angeles. Hopkins work is intrinsically cinematic, producing dreamy, poetic work that used to be almost exclusively oil but now incorporates layers of resin, iridescence and other mixed media. Hopkins has completed projects for Google, Red Bull, Wired Mag, Pabst and ESPN. You can visit Justin Hopkin's piece "No Sleep" in the salon wall located on the East wall of Nuvango Gallery.
Sarah Joncas is one of few locals in In Our Veins, she holds a BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design and is currently living and working in Toronto, though is originally from Hamilton and Niagara. Joncas began drawing a detailed dinos and lizards at a young age, and found a desire to make up her own characters and subjects as her practice grew. Joncas works with oil paints, creating accurate anatomy and then enhances features or elements that highlight the emotion or presence of her chosen subject. You can visit Sarah Joncas' portrait "Electric Daisy" in the salon wall located on the East wall of Nuvango Gallery.

Read an Excerpt
All My Hats At Once
It isn't easy to write a real booka book that's all that I am. I'm an artist daring to be original and I'm a journalist trying to be an honest man. But most of what's original is fiction, and most of what's true is old news. I'm a comedian and damn I be trippin', but I'm serious about what I say. I'm an entrepreneur trying to make money, but I'm a philanthropist giving it all away. I'm an organizer, fighting for everyone's fair share. But I'm also an environmentalist, and if everyone gets what we think is our fair share, there ain't gonna be shit but the flies. I have values I'm trying not to push on you, but I'm afraid that we're all going to die. So forgive me if I somehow offend you. My mother told me never to lie.
I'm pro-black but I laugh at racist jokes. I'm feminist but I'm a pig. I rarely tell people I'm a Jew. And I'm down with queers but if someone calls me "gay" I'll say, "Fuck you." And I'm a friend who'll be here for you. And you and you and you, now I'm spread thin. And I'm a person who loves unconditionally, but I have high-tech defenses the Pentagon couldn't get in. I'm blunt and I see through your bullshit, but I'm your cheerleader cheering you on. It's not easy to balance these hats on my head, they fall over my face like a dunce, but to me, that's what it means to be human, wearing all your hats at once.
And whether you like me or hate me, you can see what I'm saying is true. I'm giving you everything I have to give. Why shouldn't I expect the same from you?
Did you like that voice?
It sounds like something I would have written when I was 18.Or 13. I'm 25 now. And I still want 18-year-olds and 13-year-olds to read me. But I've changed a lot in the past 7 to 12 years. How about you?
A lot of people who remember me as a shit-talking graffiti writer may be disappointed with my evolution. I don't talk much about graffiti here. I'm more solution-oriented. And I don't talk as much shit. So if you're one of the people who liked how I was before, I hope you'll see that everything I'm doing now is a natural progression from what I was doing when I was 13 or 18 or 21.
When I was 13, I was break-dancing and doing graffiti and cutting school but unaware that I could quit. I was kicking it with people from the other side of the tracks, and interested in neighborhoods, but barely aware of urban planning, back room politics, or the legacy of historical change movements.
When I was 18, I was writing about hip-hop for magazines and newspapers. I took time off of college, but I didn't have a self-education plan. I read a lot about race, class, cities, social change, activism and community service. I got my first taste of the activist and do-gooder worlds. I was still barely aware of foundations or philanthropy
When I was 21, I had published Bomb the Suburbs, a book on hip-hop, adventure, race, cities and social change. And I had a program: To put the money from the book into running a hip-hop community center, to find and publish young writers from the ghetto, and to hitchhike around the country trying to convince middle-class white people to overcome their "suburban mentality." It was my greatest triumph and my greatest disappointment. Triumph because the book sold 23,000 copies which is unheard of for a self-published book on a shoestring budget. It was critically acclaimed, changed a lot of people's lives a little and a few people's lives a lot. A lot of people read it who don't usually read books. Disappointment because it should have sold 230,000 copies but I knew nothing about book distribution or the basics of running a business. The community center died because we ran out of money and we weren't organized enough. It takes a lot more resources than we had to nurture and publish young writers from the ghetto. And it takes a lot more to change lives and institutions than speaking passionately, telling stories and asking tough questions.
So now that I'm 25, I'm studying all the powerful institutions and figuring outin clever and ordinary wayshow to build institutions to seriously challenge them. That's how I went from running around the city to urban planning and politics. From writing on walls to real estate. From chillin' with cool kids in the ghetto to making appointments in suburban office parks with not-so-cool adults. From cutting class to the Self-Education Foundation. From helping broke friends to the Active Element Foundation. From hawking my book on the subway to "sales and marketing." From hand-me-down clothes to...now I own three suits. From breaking the law to studying the history of strategic social change.
From denying my privilege as a well-to-do white person to taking responsibility for it. I see my growth as a natural progression. I want to help other young people in their evolutionfrom juvenile delinquency or prep school to public art and activism to becoming strategic, life-long agents for creative historical change.
No More Prisons is a quick and dirty look at a handful of tiny emerging movements in five key areas that I'm excited about. I'm sure there are many other areas that are at least as worthy: Campaign Finance Reform comes to mind. Fair wages, good unions. Boycotting sweatshops. Rainforest soil erosion. The extinction of endangered species. The mass torture of animals. The greenhouse effect and destruction of the ozone layer. The military-industrial complex, how it eats up our tax dollars and forces us to sell weapons to asshole dictators committing genocide against their own people. The mistreatment of women. Discrimination against disabled folks. Fear of queers. The brave new worlds of space, biotechnology, global capitalism...and other really important issues that I don't have any original insights about. If one of these is your issue, I'm sorry. I didn't have anything new to say about it. I want to write about everything that matters and be all things to all people, but I can't. So I try to limit myself to writing from personal experience and creating combinations I haven't heard anyone say before.
That way I get to feel like I'm being original.
And you get to feel like you're reading a one-of-a-kind book.
The five areas I chose are just five areas I happen to know about from my limited experience on Earth. Five small glimmers of something bigger, five small windows of opportunity to act: Urban Life, because it reminds us of community and the race and class divides, and the history of fucked up social policy which makes it difficult for us to know and love each other. Homeschooling and Self-Education because we must all find our own educations, our own destinies, in a system that tells us we can't educate ourselves because itthe curriculum, the teacher, our parentsknows best. Hip-Hop Leadership because I grew up in hip-hop. It is my second family and I love it and hate it and know it needs leadership. The Cool Rich Kids movement not only for the obvious reason that you need cool people with money to do anything large scale, but also to symbolize how powerful all of us are. We are all rich kids. Most of the time, we do not comprehend how rich we are. A Hitchhikers Guide to Community Organizing symbolizes the marriage between fun and serious, adventure and commitment, the spontaneous and the strategic, doing for Self, and doing for the Whole. Why Philanthropy Is The Greatest Art form Of The Twenty First Century? Shit, it better be or the Twentieth might be the last century. Also, I want to reclaim the much abused word "philanthropy"which means love of humanitybut you wouldn't know it by the narrow and ugly and deadening way most of it is done.
No More Prisons is a collection of snapshots swirling toward a synthesis. A lot of the stuff in here sounds young to me now. Many of the essays and interviews are four or five years old now. Everything in here is connected to everything else, but not all the connections are spelled out. Some you have to figure out for yourself. I am an author who writes to my audience. The problem is, I have so many specific and separate audiences that to write for one is to alienate the rest. This book is where I get caught playing chameleon. For example, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to Community Organizing is a synthesis of four versions of the same story written for four different audiences: One for a political magazine. One for a weekly newspaper. One for a literary magazine. One for a hip-hop graffiti magazine. The version printed here is a combination of all four. Sound schizophrenic?
That's how I experience life in this segregated society. Welcome to my life.

Marina Rene – Jingle-jangle, Marinas getting fucked
Released: May 11, 2016
There's a jingling sound when Marina Rene's pussy is getting fucked. Don't worry, there's nobody at the door. Nobody left change in their pocket. The ice cream man isn't coming around the block. The jingling is coming from the stud's cock and balls banging against Marina's pussy rings. She has 13 of them. Nonetheless, Marina's stud tries to treat her like a queen. He serves her tea. "I don't like tea," says Marina, who's German. "I like more your dick." She likes to suck it and fuck it, as you're about to see.
