"Generation Why" Review
"You have to be out in the world a while before you realize it's not the place you want to be."
Who are you? What do you want to do with your life?
Doesn't it seem like we all go through this journey somewhere between those godawful confusing adolescent years and those even more godawful confusing young adult years?
We graduate from high school, we go to college or we don't. Sometimes, we drift. Sometimes, we work. Sometimes, we drink. Heavily. Sometimes, we become parents and our life plans are put on hold. Forever. Sometimes, we never figure out who we are or what we want to do with our lives and so we go through the motions until, hopefully, we find something or someone worth clinging to. Then, somewhere down the road, we let go and start the cycle all over again.
Sounds dreadful, eh?
Sounds like life.
"Generation Why," written and directed by Canadian guerilla filmmaker Brendan Prost, follows a group of disenfranchised recent high school grads as they try to figure out who they are and what they want to do with themselves. In the process, they start a campaign of apathy and detachment among their Calgary counterparts. Suddenly, what began as an effort to find themselves becomes a crippling blow to area retailers, restaurants and even academic institutions. It's only when a tragic accident strikes that everything begins to slowly return back to normal.
But, are the lessons really learned? Or is the cycle doomed to repeat itself?
While there are undeniable challenges resulting from the film's modest budget, a film such as "Generation Why"
be filmed guerilla style, an indication of the film's budget being built out of a life savings and constructed utilizing whatever equipment and services were donated and/or inexpensively obtained. "Generation Why" feels like an old school 70's vinyl record that you sit around listening to with your friends late at night in your bedroom.
Remember how everyone went all googly-eyed when acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh took his million dollar budget and hired completely inexperienced actors to make "Bubble?" This is exactly what guerilla and indie filmmakers are doing everyday on budgets far below a seven digit flick. In fact, if the U.S. hadn't just experienced the box-office miracle of "Paranormal Activity," a $15,000 film, becoming the biggest box-office success ever in terms of pure profit in the United States, it would be hard to imagine a film such as "Generation Why," a film put together for approximately $7,000.
It all starts with a decent script, and Prost has put together a script that will undoubtedly resonate with twentysomethings stumbling around in a daze of uncertainty even if the path has already been defined. Prost nicely blends dry, witty humor with light drama and rather serious social insights into a heartfelt, intelligent story devoid of unnecessary dialogue or distracting special effects.
"Generation Why" largely centers around a core three individuals, John (John Delahunt), Mike (Mike Thorn) and Cody (Cody Field), the three young men whose disenchantment largely starts the wave of apathy among the young adults in Calgary. While these three individuals may largely be the trigger for the way this story unfolds, Prost wisely creates a communal feeling in the film that greatly enhances the idea that this wave of disenfranchisement has truly impacted the entire community.
While Prost utilizes a largely novice cast, he's cast his film solidly with the leading trio having a nice chemistry and being convincing in their dilemma once they realize that their exercise in self-improvement has gone awry. Among the supporting players, Karen Lewin offers a particularly winning performance as Samantha, while Gerry Prost and Chris Patrick Carolan are also strong in supporting roles.
Original music from Our Hearts Are Big is stellar and nicely complements the film's goings on, while Prost's cinematography is surprisingly strong given the film's limited financing. It should be acknowledged, however, that those unaccustomed to guerilla filmmaking will need to adjust to the occasional lighting issues, especially when Prost filmed with the sun directly in the background. Additionally, a few sound mix issues are inevitable in low-budget films and "Generation Why" is no exception. As should be expected from any film featuring largely novice actors, some of the acting is a touch hit-and-miss as occasionally dramatic lines are over-emphasized and there were a few scenes that felt unnecessarily posed for dramatic impact.
Modest quibbles aside, "Generation Why" is a solid example of low-budget, guerilla filmmaking with a strong script from Brendan Prost and a cast and crew who clearly get what Prost is trying to accomplish with the film. "Generation Why" should enjoy a healthy life on the underground film festival circuit. For more information on "Generation Why," visit the film's

Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health have suggested that providing intervention programs in medical environments could help fight youth suicides.
A study from earlier this year, published in Psychosomatics, displays a new three-tiered clinical pathway system universal suicide risk screening within pediatric health care environments.
"Suicide is a major public health concern and early detection is a critical prevention strategy," Joshua A. Gordon, NIMH Director and study author, said in a news release. "Part of NIMH's suicide prevention research portfolio focuses primarily on testing and implementing effective strategies for identifying individuals at risk of suicide. Results from these research efforts are poised to make a real difference and help save lives."
The first tier of the clinical method uses an initial screening of all youth 20-second Ask Suicide-Screening Questions, or ASQ, tool to locate suicide risk in pediatric medical patients. The test is available in 14 languages.
The second tier, deemed the most critical, is a 10 to 15-minute assessment administered by a clinician to classify a patient's suicide risk as low, high or imminent. The third tier evaluates the patient's safety and establishes an intervention plan.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 6,000 people under age 25 died by suicides. Most of these young people visited a health care provider a month prior to committing suicide. Experts think medical settings make a good place to provide suicide intervention services.
Across all age groups, suicide ranked as the 10th leading cause of death overall in the U.S.
In 2007, The Joint Commission,report recommended behavioral health patients who visit psychiatric and general hospitals get screened for suicide risk. But a follow-up analysis of the data showed that more than a quarter of hospital suicides happen at non-behavioral units like emergency departments, inpatient medical units and outpatient clinics.
Based on this data, the commission amended its recommendation, suggesting suicide risk assessments for all patients visiting any medical setting.
"Clinicians from across North America came together to address this youth crisis in a feasible, consistent and flexible way that can be adapted to each system where suicidal youth present," said Maryland Pao, clinical director of the NIMH Intramural Research Program and study co-author.

Richard Merkin's illustration of Peter Arno appeared in the New Yorker's 1993 anniversary issue. The cartoonist is shown in profile with a cigarette in his mouth, presiding over the city he loves. His outrageously bold shirt is a real attention grabber. Mr. Merkin's source is a photograph of Arno that appears in Peter Arno's Cartoon Revue from 1941. Arno's actual shirt, if anything, is more wild than Merkin has depicted it.
Note: Peter Arno is the subject of a new biography and of a number of blog posts here on Attempted Bloggery.

Bu yerda Sizning Anabolic aylanishi qiling
tayyorlangan aylanishi uchun quyidagi maqsadga tanlang va tavsiyalar suyakka.
Purchasing Anavar in France should be avoided—given the country's strict drug laws, the chances of getting counterfeit product is too high.
If you're living in the country, you're at an even higher risk.
Buying within France's borders could mean facing both heavy fines and prison time.
Going to try it out anyway?
We'll give you some tips to minimize your dangers, but ultimately we strongly suggest purchasing legal products like CrazyBulk's Anvarol.

Despite its illegality, you'll find plenty of Anadrol from France.
Online stores will likely be selling one of the following brands:
When you purchase a legitimate product, the primary ingredient in it is oxandrolone.
As a milder, well-tolerated steroid, it is used by both men and women to improve athletic performance. It is most commonly used during the cutting cycle to retain lean muscle mass.
When it comes to pharmaceutical grade products, you can expect to pay between $0.50 uchun $1 per tab. For underground sources, this price is slightly reduced at $0.40 uchun $0.70 per tab. On the street, you'll pay upwards of $1 per tab.
But here's the thing:
Like all anabolic steroids that you purchase online, there are a high percentage of counterfeits.
And these products are sold under the guise of trusted brands, including the ones we've mentioned above.
If you're living in France, you not only risk purchasing fake product, you risk the possibility of jail time.
Don't believe us?
Take a look at the country's steroid laws below.
Yaqin o'tkan yillarda, the law's surrounding steroids have become stricter.
Although France has a class list, there is no line drawn between narcotics. aslida, this means that there is the possibility of any illegal drug being judged just as harshly.
What determines this judgment?
This decision is mostly placed in the hands of law enforcement, who are given the "right to judge according to the principle of opportunity."
Much of this will be determined by the nature of the substance and public opinion on them.
And that's the scary thing:
France views steroids pretty negatively.
Orqaga yilda 2008, their government passed a law that deems possession, ishlab chiqarish, and transportation of steroids against the law.
Although this law was created with the goal of preventing cyclists from using performance enhancers, its reach extends to amateur athletes as well.
shunday, what if you're caught?
The most severe penalty for possessing or using anabolic steroids, including Anavar, is five years in prison. The maximum fine is $119,000.
And keep in mind these laws are applicable to tourists and visitors as well.

BCGS Commission Award
In 2006, the BCGS Artistic Advisor Manuel Barrueco initiated a new program called "BCGS Commission Award" where a young and talented composer is commissioned to write a piece for the BCGS to be premiered during our concert season.
The first BCGS Commission Award went to composer Christopher Gainey who wrote Chupacabra for two guitars, which was premiered during our Yount Talent Concert on November 12, 2006 by Duo Transatlantique. The new piece was subsequently published and distributed world-wide by Vogt&Fritz in Germany.
The second BCGS Commission Award went to Gabriela Lena Frank who wrote Inca Dances for guitar and string quartet. The new work was premiered on April 19, 2008 by Manuel Barrueco and Cuarteto Latinoamericano and will be released on a CD in the 2008-2009 season. Inca Dances is published by G. Shirmer Inc. in New York and won a 2009 Latin GRAMMY Award for "Best Classical Contemporary Composition."
The third BCGS Commission Award was given to Matthew Cmiel, who wrote a solo work for classical guitar in two movements: I Wasted Time and Now Doth Time Waste Me. The work was premiered during our Yount Talent Concert on March 29, 2009, by Max Zuckerman.
The fourth BCGS Commission Award was given to Christopher William Pierce, who wrote a work for classical guitar duo in three movements: Three Pieces for Two Guitars. The work was premiered during our Yount Talent Concert on February 7, 2010, with the ChromaDuo (Tracy Anne Smith & Rob McDonald).
In honor of our 25th Anniversary, the BCGS has commissioned four new works for the classical guitar from these composers, in alphabetical order: John Belkot composed a solo guitar piece called "Der duft des winters" which was performed by Andrew Poxon; Joshua Bornfield composed a guitar quartet called "Murmurs" which was performed by the Atlantic Guitar Quartet; Scott Lee composed a solo guitar work called "To Build a House" performed by Oscar Somersalo; and Elizabeth Nonemaker composed a guitar duo called "Old Habits, Similar Patters" performed by Jeremy Lutty and Meng Su.
The works were premiered in a sold-out concert celebrating these Baltimore area composers and the artists that performed them on Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 2pm in the Recital Hall of Towson University Center for the Arts. Ronald Pearl conducted in interview with each of the composers before their respective world-premieres. The commissions were supported by the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, creator of the Baker Artists Awards, www.BakerArtistAwards.org and the Citizens of Baltimore County.
In honor of its 30th Anniversary in 2017-2018, the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society commissioned four young Baltimore-based composers to write works inspired by "Charm City." And the project received the name "Made in Baltimore."
- Jordan Chase composed a solo guitar work called "Nevermore" which was inspired by the theories surrounding the death of Edgar Allan Poe and performed was performed by Mengyi Li.
- Gabriel Bouche Caro composed a solo guitar piece called "…of unnoticed charm" which was inspired by the small specific details of architecture in the Mount Vernon area in Baltimore and performed by Jesse Washburn.
- Edmund Scott Miller composed a guitar duo called "Storied" and sought inspiration in the rich history of Baltimore, the cityscape of many-storied buildings, and most importantly, the socio-economic 'strata' that divide up the city geographically and culturally. The work was performed by Zoe Johnstone Stewart and Jeremy Lyons.
- Samuel Winnie composed a guitar trio called "Esplanade"; a tone poem inspired by the Inner Harbor in Baltimore in which he describes his general feelings towards the harbor in its present state, beauty and malady alike. The work was performed by Katie Cho, Connor Milstead, and Shon Stelman.
The commissions were supported by the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, creator of the Baker Artists Awards, www.BakerArtistAwards.org and the Citizens of Baltimore County.
This program has been supported in part by William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, creator of the Baker Artist Portfolios www.BarkerArtist.org. Thank you!
Please note that we do not accept submissions for the BCGS Commission Award.

California Gov. Jerry Brown's liberal-progressive impulses are once again pushing climate carbon reductions. As global governments struggle to sustain the evermore-tenuous reasons to foreclose on proven, conventional, economical fossil fuel energies, the governor's new executive order goes even further than Pres. Obama's radical proposals to curb questionable global warming processes.
Lacking any specifics on how to achieve his new carbon dioxide reductions or mitigating technologies, Brown sets a target of reducing emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels over the next 15 years. These would be the most restrictive climate regulations ever enacted in North America. Obama announced a plan last summer to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 30 percent by 2030, with 2005 levels as the starting point.( Los Angeles Daily News, April 29, 2015)
Brown's executive order aligns California's greenhouse-gas reduction targets with those of international governments ahead of this year's U. N. Climate Change Conference in Paris. The 28-nation European Union has set the same target for 2030. The E.U. record of myopic renewable energy mandates is being reviewed and rejected by many members due to "energy poverty" — where ambitious green bureaucratic dreams of a carbon-free world have raised household power bills 30% or more in recent years.
The California Independent System Operator (ISO) overseeing the state's electric power plants, transmission grid and system planning recently raised the specter of energy poverty due to the state-mandated renewable energy portfolio's failure to meet rising electric power demands. The challenge to meet non-peak electricity demands has been created by the state's 33 to 51 percent mandate for green renewable power by 2020. These non-peak power shortfalls are already occurring, but will get worse by 2015, and become disastrous under Brown's new climate conniption.
Green renewable energies include wind, solar, biofuel, biogas and small-scale hydroelectric power sources. In the mandated California state energy system that would be half supplied by green renewables, predicted electric power short falls would be inevitable. It would no longer be just peak hot months of the summer or unusual winter cold snaps creating power blackouts or rolling brownouts.
Gov. Brown's reflex to cut carbon on behalf of a partisan push for phantom climate imperatives presents a critical challenge to the reliability and affordability of electricity for consumers.

Frequently asked questions
If you are funding your own place, we ask that you pay a £100 registration fee after you have been accepted onto the programme. We will then ask you to pay the rest of the fee split equally across the subsequent fifteen months.
We will ask for two statements of support during your time on the programme. These can be completed by your line manager, a member of SLT or your headteacher. These will be at the point of application, and at the conclusion of the programme. We ask for these because we believe that it is important that schools are aware and supportive of any participants in the programme; although the programme is designed so that you do not need to take any time out of school, you will require support from your school to carry out the project and other assessment activities. You will also need to submit videos of your teaching practice as part of the assessment process, and all video recording will need to meet the safeguarding processes and requirements of your school; we can provide guidance and support where necessary. The statement of support at the end also provides a checkpoint that you are working at the level of a Chartered Teacher.
We will limit the size of this cohort in order to ensure that we are able to focus on delivering a high quality programme experience. If we are oversubscribed once we have assessed all applications and decided on those teachers who meet the requirements, we will assign places on a first-come, first served basis.
I have other qualifications (e.g. Chartership from a Subject Association, a Masters, etc.). What does this mean?
At the moment, we will not be offering the opportunity to use any other qualifications as evidence against the Chartered Teacher Status, and will not be offering APEL (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning). If you already have adifferent qualification and wish to take part in the full programme, we would welcome an application from you.
At the moment, the course does not carry Masters level credits.
We will offer each event at a number of different locations, and will ensure that we offer a mix of mid-week and Saturday events to meet the needs of participants in different locations and with different availability. We hope that this means that all teachers are able to take part in the programme.
The programme is designed to be suitable for those who are already expert teachers, with deep professional knowledge and skills. Teacher practice takes time to develop, and we want to ensure that everyone who is accepted onto the programme has a good chance of success.
In addition to reading through the programme eligibility and the expectations of those on the programme, please review the Professional Principles. These principles encapsulate what a Chartered Teacher should know and be able to do. Whilst you should develop professionally and improve your practice during the programme, it is designed for those who are already expert teachers who are looking to validate these skills. We therefore recommend that you discuss the principles with your line manager, and the extent to which you feel you meet them. If you feel that you would be able to meet these criteria with some support over the course of the programme, then we recommend that you are ready to apply.
The programme is modular and flexible to mean that you should be able to move schools during it without an issue. We will work with you to structure this in the most effective way. Remember that if you are funded by your school, you will need to discuss and agree with your school what the implications are.
If you are unsuccessful in an assessment during the programme, you will have the opportunity to resit / resubmit. For some assessments, this may mean waiting until the next year. If your mentor feels that you are unlikely to pass an assessment at the present time, they may suggest that you defer your place on the course for a period of time to prepare and develop your practice.
We understand that there may be many reasons for someone wishing to defer or break study for a period of time, and we will help you find the most suitable route. As the programme is phased, you will easily be able to stop the programme at the end of one phase, and pick up at the start of the next phase in a future year.
Obtaining Chartered Teacher Status is not directly linked to pay, but will demonstrate that you are a highly skilled, evidence-based practitioner who is committed to continually developing their practice, supporting your career progression.
I work in Further Education or teach vocational subjects in a school. Am I able to join the programme?
If you are teaching children and young people below the age of 19, you are able to apply for the programme. However, you are also able to achieve Chartered Status through our partnership with the Education and Training Foundation using Advanced Teacher Status (ATS), which is tailored to the requirements of technical education, so you may wish to consider their programme instead.
The activities and assessments that you undertake within the programme are designed to align with things that you will already be doing and to support development of your practice. However, participation in the programme will require a significant time commitment, including attending face-to-face events, participating in mentoring sessions, completing a variety of assessment tasks, engaging with your cohort online, and carrying out a project. We anticipate that you will need to spend at least three days per half term on the programme, in addition to any professional development and reading you undertake.
You will need to be a full member of the Chartered College to participate in the programme; you may apply without joining, but will be required to join before the programme commences if successful in your application.

1. Re: ThinApp Boot Loader Error - Mikromarc - Server 2016mardah Sep 18, 2017 1:32 AM (in response to mardah)
Additional information: Have attempted to capture what is happening with procmon, but everytime I do that, it works fine. As if the system is reading the EXE file too fast usually, while when procmon is running it slightly slows the system down and then runs as it should. Tried to turn off the Windows Defender aswell as excluding area and so on, but no change.
Will continue to troubleshoot, but could be this version is just too experimental on 2016.
2. Re: ThinApp Boot Loader Error - Mikromarc - Server 2016mardah Sep 20, 2017 5:05 AM (in response to mardah)
I think I found the issue, waiting for VMWare support to let me know if they are able to replicate this issue.
The folders that I had the executable in is locked down to only 2 groups being allowed to execute the files. However, Authenticated Users had the access to list content, just not run the files. For some reason when the list permission is there it fails to start the execuatble correctly, as if it doesn't check the other groups before giving the error. So when I set this, even though I have other groups which grants execute permissions it fails with the error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
If I remove the Authenticated Users permission, the other groups that already have the execute permissions seems to kick in and it works fine. Alternatively I could also add the permissions Read extended attributes and Read permissions to Authenticated Users and it also would work. But List Folder alone creates a strange issue on Server 2016 starting Thinapp 5.2.2 executable.
Support not able to replicate the issue, not sure if we run the exact same security and user environments, but this has solved our problem so marking it as solved.

Sorry Kids, but Costa Rica is No Bargain
There are a lot of great reasons to visit Costa Rica, and as I wrote in this post way back in 2010, it can be worth the splurge if you do it right. If you're heading there thinking it's a bargain, however, just because it's a less developed country in Central America, or because someone who last went there in the 1990s told you it was a deal, you'll be seriously disappointed. In short, as I write this it's the most expensive country between Texas and South America.
Belize is close, so I need to at least mention that, and both countries seems to manipulate their exchange rate keep it tied to the dollar regardless of what is happening on the world markets. Or with the price of anything compared to their national reserves. Economically, Costa Rica operates in a kind of dollar bubble without actually using the dollar. There's also a strange system in which the government is the main employer and it also pays more than double what the private sector does, so there's an unnatural financial system where market forces don't apply.
In general, if you expect to pay U.S. or Canadian prices when you visit this country, you'll get a slight surprise to the upside now and then and you'll be happy. You can find a hostel bed in a decent location for as little as $12 if you don't mind sharing with a lot of other people in a small space. Drinks in a bar or restaurant are less than you'll pay at home. If you go shopping in the market you'll find good deals on fresh produce, though outside that section there are few standouts in the grocery store.
Whenever I go though, I hear a lot of grumbling from independent travelers who are surprised at the costs, especially backpackers coming from neighboring Panama or Nicaragua. If you get into any conversations with Ticos, you'll hear them complaining about it constantly too. Million dollar mansions are more common than not in the swanky suburbs of San Jose, but for most of the population there's a big gap between where expenses are and where wages should be to keep up.
So why go?
Because this is still quite a special place. A third of the country is protected parks and nature reserves and Costa Rica's environmental record is the best in Central America. The whole huge Osa Peninsula and Gulfo Dulce area is a giant corridor for wildlife, so it's not uncommon to see sloths, toucans, macaws, wild pigs, colorful frogs, and much more before you've walked a half mile. If you've got a vacation budget instead of a shoestring budget, you could go on a different adventure activity every day and have a terrific time.
More hotels are green than not and you don't see nearly as much garbage here as you do in the rest of the region, including wealthier Mexico. You can drink the water out of the tap and because of that you're probably not going to get sick from the food.
So if you've got a bit of cash, you'll probably have a wonderful time in Costa Rica. I took my family there a few years ago and we have some great memories from that trip. I'd gladly do it again. If you're staying at one of the best hotels in Costa Rica, you'll have a glorious experience and have a great view of the water or wildlife.
My advice? Go on a tour. You won't hear me say that very often, but this is a country where if you hook up with some reasonably priced company like G Adventures or Intrepid, you'll probably get a better value than if you try to just go book hotels on your own—do a quick price check to the left there and you'll see what I mean. Also, public transportation is kind of infrequent in this country and not very efficient, so if you're on a group tour you'll get from place to place much more quickly.
If you do go on your own, you're probably going to need your own wheels, so see this handy guide with tips on renting a car in Costa Rica.
Otherwise, If you want to go somewhere that's going to allow you to really enjoy yourself on $40 a day or less, you should head to Nicaragua or Guatemala instead.
Excellent story, Tim . Love Costa Rica, but it is pricey. Value for the money though.
I agree , Costa Rica is as expensive as the touristy parts of Mex , i.e. CABO and CANCUN …. you of course can find bargains but anything higher-end is $$$$ food tours and lodging. But like anywhere you can discover some off the beaten path locations and without the huge tourist dollars you might finds some bargains ..
I have known for awhile Costa Rica is no long ideal for just about anything but a vacation.
Housing is first world expensive and things that Americans and likely Canadians are use to going to the store to buy are outrageously expensive.
We're not big fans of Costa Rica. Very poor value for money in touristy areas (Arenal, Manuel Antonio), getting around expensive and complicated on your own, and the country is too 'gringorized' for it's own good. We'd go to a local cafe and be served by Canadian or US kids. I don't understand why that would be…be we didn't come to Costa Rica to be served by people from home.
Stayed almost a month visiting places around the country and ranks up there as one of our most disappointing trips for many of the above.
Frank (bbqboy)
You're the second experienced traveler I've come across this weekend who highly recommends tours. I never give them a second look because I assume that I can get things cheaper if I booked everything separately and on my own. I'll give them a closer look form now on. Thanks for the tip. :)
Costa Rica has fantastic nature and the locals are very friendly. Unfortunately, as mentioned in the article is expensive. However, you can always find a cheaper way for eating and traveling.
I lived in Costa Rica for nearly 10 years and left for Santiago Chile a year ago, but this addressed Costa Rica. 14 years ago when I started going there, violent deaths occurred maybe 3-4 a year due to the peaceful nature of the country. As of 2015, that many people are being killed every day there…getting much more dangerous, and kids on motorcycles will pull guns on you to steal your cell phone, change, or anything they can take from you, 24 hours a day, in the light of mid day or at night. Not just in "bad" areas but in all areas.
I lived in Escazu, (a very wealthy area) and my home was burglarized 4 times. My car was broken into 5 times and things stolen out of the car, even if they had no real value, but still my windows were broken or locks broken getting into the car.
Drug cartels are much more prevalent and now people are being stopped on some highways and abducted for ransom money. Prices have sky rocketed and tourists are targets of "gringo" pricing which differs from "Tico" pricing. Service in horrible in restaurants and other businesses, and medical care that is touted to be some of the best in the world is sadly lacking in both professionalism and quality of care.
The climate is wonderful and that is really what has not changed now. The Ticos are becoming more aggressive and violent and motorcyclists on the roads are like bandits. They will kick your car, knock off your side mirrors, throw rocks at you, and break every known law with no concern of being caught because there is simply not enough enforcement to make things work well there. Police are extremely corrupt and take bribes rather than issuing tickets.
These are all first hand experiences from a very experienced traveller who has lived in 8 countries now…so beware, tourist buses have been getting held up and robbed on the way from the airport to hotels, hotel rooms are being robbed, and unless the thief takes more than $1000 in valued items, the police do not bother taking a report nor try to prosecute the case. Corruption is the name of the game in Costa Rica and there are a lot with their hands out to you to take a bribe to give you better service that you should already be receiving.
I would recommend that you think twice about going to Costa Rica right now because there are so many lovely places to go to, (Nicaragua is actually safer than Costa Rica now and so is Panama)…Visas are NOT straight forward and take 1-2 years to receive a residence visa that has to be renewed at an expensive rate every couple of years, and then you must also purchase their public insurance or prove private outrageously private health insurance to renew your residency visa…visa require LOT of documentation, translated, presented to the Secretary General of your state if you are from the USA) and then to the Costa Rican Embassy in your country, and then an INTERPOL check is conducted which can take up to one year, etc…so it is not so straight forward or easy getting a permanent residence visa, unless you marry a local citizen, then things ease up a little at least.
Just beware of your surrounding in countries like this throughout Central and South America, there are pick pockets, home robbers, car thieves, and street crime is wild…not a place I would ever return to unless things change dramatically.
I can also tell you more about other countries if interested since I am a VERY experienced traveler having not only travelled as a tourist, but lived extensively in many countries and I disagree with some of the area the writer here writes about like Guatemala and Honduras. That area with El Salvador is considered the most dangerous triangle in the world outside of a war zone…yep, they are beautiful and all if you make it out in once piece and with your belongings you can consider yourself quite lucky.
Thailand remains a bargain..Chiang Mai, rentals go for $300 – $600 for a very good class of living…$1200 per month will be quite sufficient to live there and gives you enough to even travel to neighboring countries as a tourist. That is my current home after leaving Latin America way behind me, and about 16 years experience in the Americas.
not buying any of this….I love Costa Rican peaceful people and their epic kindness…..are you sure you were in Costa Rica??
I have to agree with you Robert Holloway on Costa Rica today. I too lived there for 3 years and in just those 3 years saw the crime rate, violent crimes and kidnapping for ransom, murders, break ins, etc., becoming very concerning. I left Costa Rica in February of 2014 and will never go back. And expensive, OMG! Gingos are constantly scammed and charged at least twice what a local is charged right in front of your face! Once they charged our caretaker, with me at the time, $2.00 for a beer and my husband I $4.00 each for our beers, as we all stood at the bar together. I personally know two men, one American and one from France, both highly educated and smart, however, not smart enough for the average scamming Costa Rican MAN or woman. Both, lost their fortunes in Costa Rica to do scamming. One spoke fluent Spanish, one intermediate. And yes, the government turns the other way and considers "petty crime" a means of "work" for Costa Ricans. Even the local doctors will scam a Gringo. It was sickening to me. What used to be a "very friendly country" has become one of vanity and greed. The country is not THAT beautiful. They are also NOT GREEN! I lived in the Central Valley and there is a river right next to a waste management area where the waste is dumped into that river which flows out into the ocean. They also little like crazy. They hate Americans, but want to own anything American, look and act like Americans. I also agree, Nicaragua is MUCH nicer and still has respect for foreigners who bring money to their country. Granada, considered THE most romantic City in Central America is a place I am considering retiring in. However, the greatest problem with all the Latin American countries is; you just never know from day to day what will happen economically or safety wise.
These comments are all at least four years old. Has the situation changed at all?

My 1 on 1 sessions are in full swing. One of students from the group class will be bringing his baker and sister in law for a series of more breads and cakes with decorating starting tomorrow.
His sister in law and her cake baker had a 3 day cake class with me 3 weeks ago and it was fun. I learned something from them that I would never have known from someone else since their family owned the bakery for 30 years now.
It's one of those stories where the family had a certain type of business and the 3rd or 2nd generation only shows interest when the parents pass away. This is one of those. " how I wish I learned from my father".
Talking to her about breads (even though we were doing cakes) makes me want to shift to teaching her breads instead of cakes and so I suggested that maybe she should take some bread lessons as well since she was very much interested with the subject and.....from what I've been hearing at that point, something is missing and something needs to be done.
So I ended up giving her tips, making her ditch this very expensive milk and switch to something economical etc etc..It is hard when you try to manage a bakery and you LET THE BAKER DECIDE.
That is not how you run a bakery. Letting the baker tell you what kind of milk to use, what flour to use etc etc without calculating the cost is a recipe for disaster. The none of contention is the fact that they sell to the c and d crowd so in was told that our recipes should be cheap or affordable to the lower mass. But they use a very expensive milk, 2 of them which makes it even worst when there is a cheaper equally good substitute. Hmmmmm. The extra ms mean I am exaggerating the point.
So would be baker's, do not save on learning the trade first before getting into the business of selling breads. Consider the fee you pay as part of the capital. Learn everything there is to know before you open that dream bakery of yours. Meron kasing iba nagtitipid so they will just buy the ebook and not attend the class then hoping against all odds will open the bakery. It could work for some especially those who had experience working in the food industry but for noobies? I doubt it.
I'm booked ten whole May and June so goodbye Baler for now. I will probably have time to visit by July.

A Simple Noodle Story (simplified Chinese: 三枪拍案惊奇; traditional Chinese: 三槍拍案驚奇; pinyin: Sānqiāng Pāi'àn Jīngqí), internationally A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop.[3] (Blood Simple in the UK) is a 2009 film directed by Zhang Yimou. It is a remake of Blood Simple, the 1984 debut of the Coen brothers, whose films Zhang Yimou lists as among his favorites.[4] The film transports the original film's plot from a town in Texas to a noodle shop in a small desert town in Gansu province.[4]
The film is a mixture of a thriller and screwball comedy.[5] The film stars Sun Honglei, Ni Dahong in the thriller segment while comedians Xiaoshenyang and Yan Ni star in the comedic segment. The film has been described as a considerable departure from the director's previous works.[6]
Set in a Chinese noodle shop in the desert, the restaurant owner plans to murder his adulterous wife and her lover.

- Ni Dahong – Wang
- Xiaoshenyang – Li
- Yan Ni – Wang's Wife
Principal photography began in June 2009, and the film was released on December 11, 2009 in China.[7]
The film made its international premiere in competition at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Golden Bear.[8]
The film received polarizing responses from audiences, with some noting the film's visual inventiveness and non-serious tone, while others criticized the film maker's use of slapstick humor and over-the-top style. Zhang revealed at the Berlinale that the Coen brothers had written to him after seeing a copy of the film, and expressed that they loved the changes made in this version.[9]
Derek Elley of Variety described the film as a "much more ascetic, chamber-like dramedy" that is a "pretty close adaptation" and "spiced up with some pratfall humor and visually enhanced by saturated lensing." Elley also noted "Coen aficionados won't be surprised by any of the subsequent twists in the tale, and general auds will be pleasantly amused, as Zhang tries to manipulate events for his own purposes."[1]
Maggie Lee of The Hollywood Reporter is more mixed on the film, and described it as "a high-rolling but garish production with untranslatable regional ribald humor", and noted the changes from the original with "pacing is much more frenetic with characters and cameras in restless motion. The intervals are crammed with exotic sight gags and colloquial wordplay, such as a dough-making scene choreographed like a plate-spinning acrobatic show or the group hip-hop dance routine."[10]
Some critics also viewed the film as unique in Zhang's filmography. James Marsh of Twitch Film described the film as "a spectacular departure from his previous work", and praised the film's first half as "breakneck paced" and "many laughs to be had throughout", but noted "The second half takes a deliberate shift into darker territory, as those already familiar with the story will know, and while handled effectively in its own right, it does lose some of the energy generated in the first half."[6] However, Marsh states "that said, the film must certainly be deemed a success, both as an experimentation for the director, as an adaptation of Blood Simple and as a screwball comedy in its own right."[6]
Edmund Lee of Time Out Hong Kong described the film as "surely one of the year's unlikeliest projects", and a "sacrilegiously funny period remake." Lee further states: "Zhang has traded Texas' oppressively bleak vista for China's visually intoxicating desert landscape for this enthralling film, at once hilarious and cruelly ironic."[11]
However, Perry Lam in Muse criticized it, stating: "The story unfolds in an almost surreal, suspiciously computer-generated setting that is decisively closed off to outer reality. Zhang, who usually cares deeply about his characters, loses his intense emotional command over his actors."[12]
Geoffrey Macnab of The Independent reviewing the film at the Berlinale states "Zhang Yimou's remake of the Coen brothers' Blood Simple is exhilarating and inventive", and "Zhang's formal mastery is little short of astonishing...there are few film-makers who use colour or sound editing in such a bravura way."[13]
The film cost approximately $12 million to make, notably less expensive than Zhang Yimou's most recent historical epics. The film, in spite of the polarized reception, was successful at the box-office,[1] and went on to gross 261 million yuan ($38 million) in less than six weeks, tripling the film's budget.[1]

Offshore staff
SINGAPORE – The jackup Atwood Orca has spudded the Rojana-A exploration well in block G11/48 in the Gulf of Thailand for operator Mubadala Petroleum.
Water depth is 232 ft (70.6 m). According to partnerKrisEnergy, the well will be drilled to 4,828 ft (1,472 m) MD and will probe a series of stacked sandstone reservoirs in the Miocene interval.
This is the first exploration well on the block since productive exploration and appraisal programs in 2009-2010.
The 3,374-sq km (1,303-sq mi) concession is on the southern margin of the Pattani basin and the northwest margin of the Malay basin. The contract area contains theNong Yao field development, which is expected to produce first oil during 1Q 2015.
Mubadala also confirms that itsPegaga discovery in block SK320 offshore Malaysia is a potentially commercial gas find. The third successful well, Sirih 1 targeted a series of carbonate pinnacles in the block. The well reached TD of 3,000 m (9,840 ft) and confirmed an 850-m (2,788-ft) gas column. Flow rate was 30-50 MMcf/d of gas with condensate. Water depth is 109 m (358 ft).
This follows the Peegag 1 and Sintok 1 discoveries, and the previous M5 discovery appraised in 2012.

Yesterday I went to get the staples out of my head. I thought I had stitches too, but no it was just Staples. Anyway, it didn't hurt. It's still healing - scabbing over so it'll take a while til it's completely gone. I'm so glad all of that is OVER.
At least their office was pretty. Loved looking out the window. All went very quickly.
Since I had time yesterday and hadn't had eggs lately, I fixed an egg on toast for breakfast before I left. That was fun. It doesn't have the nutrition though that my shake does but sometimes it's nice to have a normal breakfast. Then I am always craving my shakes again the next day.
Since I had the doc office visit and the later breakfast, I was kinda off all day. I didn't want to take lunch since I was late to work b/c of the doc appt so I ate at my desk. I snacked on PB and seed crackers and then later on had my meal replacement bar which kept me satisfied for a long while. I also had a little bitty chicken salad kit. So just small meals all day.
I think it's funny that yesterday I had "appointments" to talk to friends/family. lol Katy called and said "what time is good for a face time call?" "Six thirty". And then my friend Lisa texted and said to call her, and I said "Ok, Five o'clock".
At least if it's on the schedule, it gets done. Otherwise we roll on to the next "to do" or "goal".
Loved checking in with Lisa. She won't be able to go to San Antonio with Katy and me.
Katy and I planned our trip in San Antonio - well mainly picking the hotel, which to me is sometimes the hard part. I had been there before, and I think what we picked will work great. Good reviews too and on the River Walk. While on the phone with her, I got my flight booked. So excited. This does not take place until June though. Will be here soon enough.
Katy posted on Instagram (in white letters). I reposted on mine (in Orange letters).
Oh my gosh it was so good.
|George's Shrimp and Grits
It had a little heat to it, which I loved. It was just right. So we ate and watched The Durrells in Corfu. And then a show of Nurse Jackie.
And then bed. So up this morning and doing laundry and cleaning up the kitchen a bit. Have been plugging some things in the calendar this morning and making some "to do's". Several things to do this weekend that I don't want to forget and time is going to be in shortage. Here's the list:
___Order baby shower gift
___Do Target Order (household/pet needs & office products)
___Add Isagenix needs on my next Autoship order
___Create the Customer Form I want
___Type of the Script on one page that I'm using
___Order some kind of anti slip/trip strips for my slippery new shoes
___Order my new calendar system as mine ends in June
___Order new updated pics for my office at work (pic frames)
___Planning time for my posts next week
I've been listening to Essentialism on the commute. Loving it. It's unfortunate that I'm listening in the car, b/c he has some really good quotes I want to remember! Here's one.
It is and will always be a challenge to get done what I want. It's so easy for an evening of domestic chores and laundry or conversation to obliterate my side job business time, which I lovingly call "power hour". Then the week is gone.
But there's been a lot going on. George's job offer and our trip planning have been our top priorities. I took a look at his benefits yesterday compared to mine that we are on. Mine has some good coverage in spots. However, overall, we decided to go on his health and dental. Blue Cross Blue Shield has really been good for us before. They have a good reputation for claims processing. Our deductible is a bit more but the cost for the two of us is waaaaaay less than what we are paying now. Our premium savings on a monthly basis will build up and easily pay for the higher deductible costs when we need it. We can afford a higher deductible now and so it's a savings plan situation instead. Also his dental was cheaper - it had lower coverage on major services but not much difference. So we went with the lower premium. And we'll stay on my vision insurance. I kinda wanted to change b/c his coverage was a little better and better networks but it would have been $32 per month for the both of us and that is a bit much for a vision plan when you rarely use it - once every 3 years for glasses other than an exam. So we are staying on mine. Of course I have no idea what ours is going to be after May as they wait til the last possible minute to make decisions on rates for the next year. That was unfortunate for our planning this week, but we pretty much knew we wanted to go on his plans to be on BCBS. So I don't think it would have mattered had we had the new rates.
We also had to look at our life insurance planning. I had to laugh that George sent an email yesterday while doing some life ins planning...."I'm getting enough so you can pay of the house, pay off the car, and be able to buy a big RV....but don't get any ideas!" Made me giggle!
Anyway, I need to go and try to get some things done. We are going to see Mom today and I still need to do laundry and all that kind of stuff and try to work on my list above.
I can tell you though that I am pleased as punch to be able to have even enough office time this morning to blog. Getting time to do anything I want to is VERY difficult. Truly life is full.
Ya'll have a great weekend.

Reports are saying the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) plans to halt the full rollout of Universal Credit. If the Government is finally recognising this is a flawed system, then that's welcome, but if that means they are halting Universal Credit roll-out, it needs to stop immediately in Nottingham.
In July, I called for the rollout of Universal Credit to be halted before it inflicts more pain on families in Nottingham. The limited experience of Universal Credit so far in Nottingham has seen risinig levels of rent arrears along with more debt problems. It's high time the Department for Work and Pensions accepted that the way they have implemented Universal Credit so far is actively hurting the people it is there to help. It's totally unacceptable for them to simply plough on regardless while it damages people's lives, driving them into debt and needing to use foodbanks.
There has been a chorus of opposition to the Government's flagship welfare reform and a list of examples exposing the inherent flaw and problems with its implementation:
- Whistle-blowers described the IT system as "fundamentally broken."
- The DWP helpline for Universal Credit charged callers seeking help 55p a minute.
- A fifth of Universal Credit Claimants still receive late payments.
- The Work and Pensions Committee warned that single household payments of Universal Credit could facilitate abuse and domestic violence.
- A National Audit Office report concluded the DWP was unsympathetic to claimants and refused to accept that Universal Credit has caused hardship.
- Sir John Major compared the Universal Credit to the Poll Tax.
- The Work and Pensions Secretary, Esther McVey, admitted some claimants could be worse off by £200 a month.
- Former Work and Pension Secretary, Ian Duncan Smith, has called for an extra £2 billion to make the scheme workable.
These problems have emerged while only a fraction of the total number of benefit claimants have been placed on Universal Credit. The Government should take this as a chance to stop the process, and fix the obvious problems that exist, otherwise they will be knowingly inflicting the same pain on more families in Nottingham and millions of other claimants due to be placed on Universal Credit.

Looking for the best places to eat in Hong Kong? Read our foodie guide to the city, including the best restaurants in Hong Kong.
With its iconic high-rise skyline, multicultural society, round-the-clock mentality and surprisingly leafy surroundings, Hong Kong rightly deserves its nickname 'The Pearl of the Orient'. The real jewel of this former British colony, however, is its food.
Not only did Hong Kong's crossroads – or, rather, cross-seas – position on the southeast coast of China make the territory a compelling strategic domain, the wide range of peoples that settled here brought with them an array of cuisines. The largest numbers were of Cantonese, Szechuanese, Japanese (check out our best places to eat in Tokyo) and British people, but the influence of the Portuguese (read our guide to Lisbon here) can also be seen in the bakeries selling egg tarts (check out our easy recipe for Portuguese custard tarts), a local take on pasteis de nata.
On nearly every street corner in Hong Kong you'll find vendors selling egg waffles, bubble tea, curried cuttlefish and fish balls. And from stinky tofu and dim sum (you'll find some of the biggest prawn dumplings known to man here) to chicken's feet and snake soup, you could eat a different dish every day for a year. There's also a large number of fine-dining restaurants in Hong Kong kept busy by the traders, bankers and brokers of the city's financial institutions.
Such wide culinary choice – and the fact that it's possible to eat this kaleidoscope of foods at almost any time of day or night – means that people in Hong Kong tend to be food-obsessed.
This inclination is fuelled by one other major factor: with space at a premium, home kitchens are often tiny. The result is that dinner means big business for restaurants in Hong Kong. If you want to eat out, order a hotpot. The most popular dish for an everyday supper, it's a soup base to which diners can add any meat and vegetables they choose, and cook them to their liking.
Plus, if you're looking for the best Chinese restaurants in London, we've rounded up the top best places to eat in Chinatown, here…
For the best street food – Sing Kee
Sit down on a plastic chair at this dai pai dong (no frills street food restaurant) and watch Mr Sing cook to order, on the street, using just two raging gas burners and a filing cabinet-come steamer with a constant pot of chicken stock on the go.
The family have been serving food to the people of Hong Kong for 60 years, workers sitting next to businessmen. Order the crab fried in oyster sauce, spring onions and ginger, clay pot aubergine and steamed pom frit (whole fish) in black bean sauce, with a big bottle of Tsing Tao beer to share.
9-10 Stanley Street
For the best coffee and tea – Lok Heung Yuen Coffee Shop
Like many other coffee shops and tea houses in Hong Kong, this one's nickname is "the snake pit" because lots of people go and bunk off work in it. Order a milk tea, also sometimes known as 'tights' or 'pantyhose' tea (they traditionally used these to strain the tea). It's topped up with lashings of condensed milk and is drunk hot or cold depending on the weather.
Only the very wealthy have ovens in Hong Kong – space is too much of a premium – so many people go to tea houses for their baked goods. Order a pineapple bun – a sweet yeasted bun made with a cross-hatched sugar crust (hence 'pineapple'). It's cut in half and slapped around a slab (seriously!) of butter. Toast with condensed milk makes another quick, sweet snack – but we definitely recommend getting the deep fried PBJ French toast. You may need to go on a long walk after stopping in here.
No. 8-12 Gilman's Bazaar, Central
For the best authentic food – Ser Wong Fun
This 'local local' restaurant is where true Hong Kong people eat. The menu may not be in English but the friendly staff will help you get something warm and nourishing to eat. Failing that, take someone who speaks the language and order the house specialty – snake soup with wood ear mushrooms and kaffir lime leaf, or crispy snake balls. Cantonese people believe the body has two humours – hot and cold. Snake is a hot food, good to eat on a cold day.
For the less adventurous, try the sweet and sour pork, chicken in black bean cooked in rice wine and fried glutinous rice with sweet sausage.
30 Cochrane Street, Central
For the best breakfast – Tsat Hay Noodle and Congee House
Breakfast in Hong Kong doesn't get better than this – silky smooth rice cooked in light chicken stock, gently warmed by ginger and garlic. The classic version comes with century egg and salted pork (top it with chilli oil laced with crispy little garlic pieces) but make sure you try the fish congee, too. It's unbelievably fragrant, with ginger and spring onions, soft unctuous fish and the crunch of peanuts.
Try our easy congee recipe with ginger and chilli oil.
Jaffe Road, Wan Chai
For the best clay pot – Ho Ho
As in so many cultures, the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot is the part everyone fights over. In clay pot cooking, however, every pot has a crispy bottom; cold, cooked rice is re-heated in individual clay pots on individual gas burners, then finished with a variety of toppings.
At this speciality clay pot restaurant in Hong Kong, order the salt fish clay pot (it's similar to salted mackerel) and the aubergine and minced pork in yellow bean and oyster sauce. You'll want some greens on the side, too, as these dishes tend to be meat or fish heavy – we opted for some ginger and spring onion gai lan and morning glory in fermented tofu sauce.
1 Ya Fuen street
For the best tofu – Yan Wo Dou Bun Chong
One thing you learn quickly with Cantonese food is that texture is hugely important, especially the texture 'wat' or silky smooth. This tofu restaurant is a celebration of all things 'wat'.
Start with the fish tofu balls (they have a soft, scrambled egg texture on the inside, but are crispy on the outside), best eaten with plenty of hoi sin and chilli sauce and washed down with soy milk (the coconut flavoured one is good).
For dessert try the steamed silken tofu with ginger sugar. I guarantee this is the silkiest thing you will ever eat. Each spoonful seems to evaporate after 20 seconds in the mouth, leaving lingering gingery sweetness.
55 Jardine's Bazaar, Causeway bay
For the best dumplings – Northern Dumpling Yuan
You'll find foods from all around the world in Hong Kong but don't miss the regional Chinese cooking that's also prominent there. Try some Northern Chinese dumplings for a late breakfast or lunch; you can sit and watch the cooks hand-seal each one while you joyfully devour others. Order the pork and chive, watercress and pork and cabbage, wood ear mushroom and Chinese chive dumplings.
Don't forget the sides, though; the smacked cucumber with sesame and chilli, cold steamed aubergine with chilli bean sauce and pickled potato are all great.
259 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai
For the best all-day breakfast – Australia Dairy Company
A local institution, this place serves affordable all-day breakfasts, Hong Kong style. Start with scrambled eggs and toast, try the ham macaroni if you dare, then finish with a bowl of steamed milk pudding, a kind of pale custard.
47 Parkes Street
For the best beef brisket broth – Kau Kee
One of the best takes on beef brisket you'll find anywhere, here it's slow-cooked in a broth of spices and noodles and never fails to please, hence the long queues to devour this dish. Order the beef in a rich curry sauce, or the beef brisket noodles in broth.
21 Gough Street
For the best dim sum – Tim Ho Wan
This unlikely-looking holder of a Michelin star is a simple canteen – and a great place to eat dim sum at a reasonable price. Try the baked bun with barbecued pork, the steamed fresh shrimp dumpling, the steamed pork dumpling with shrimp or the pan-fried turnip cake.
For the best egg tarts – Tai Cheong Bakery
Tai Cheong's egg tarts were a favourite with the territory's ex-Governor, Chris Patten. And with reason. Deliciously smooth custard sits, burnished, in crisp shortcrust pastry.
For the best duck – Yat Lok Roast Goose
Another unlikely-looking holder of a Michelin star, Yat Lok Roast Goose is one of many homespun joints that aren't particularly fancy but do what they do really well – in this case, duck. Delicate crispness is matched with the perfect ratio of meat to fat.

The SkyBound Stratos Trampoline features a lightning-quick (no bolts/screws) install, 12 pole enclosure system, powder coated, galvanized steel frame, 8.5" zinc-coated springs, 6 steel legs, premium safety pad and 480h UV tested jumping mat and net.
The SkyBound Stratos Trampolines features a lightning-quick Enclosure System installation set-up with no bolts, screws, brackets, braces or pole caps. Push-pin technology allows for a fast, easy set up and break down of the trampoline's frame and enclosure system. The SkyBound Stratos trampoline features (a) powder coated, black steel frame, (b) 6 W-shaped legs, (c) a concave enclosure net, (d) 12 black, curved enclosure poles, (e) black, vinyl-coated foam sleeves, (f) two-piece, Easy Install, PVC trampoline pad, (g) large, 8.5" premium gold springs (rust resistant), and (h) Shoe Bag.
The Enclosure System includes twelve steel enclosure poles for increased structural stability and maximum user safety. The enclosure poles and pad are shielded and covered by SkyBound's proprietary blend of vinyl PVC material & pole foam, which when compared to standard foam noodles, better withstands UV degradation from the sun's harmful rays by up to 3-5x the life span of the foam. The bottom of the enclosure net attaches directly to the trampoline mat's v-rings, helping to keep wayward feet and hands within the jumping mat surface area and away from steel springs and frame parts.
The SkyBound Stratos Trampoline is also equipped with six w-shaped leg frame tubes with welded enclosure pole push-pin sockets on each leg frame tube. The enclosure poles feed directly into each welded leg socket for the proper angle and fit, every time. This structurally stable, highly functional, aesthetically-pleasing, minimalist design allows for much faster set-up and installation times due to utilizing push-pin technology and machine-welding instead of brackets, braces, screws, washers, nuts and bolts.

Greenfield Emergency Dentistry
If you break an arm, you will likely know just what to do – call emergency services or head into your nearest emergency room. If you break your tooth, you may hesitate. If you're a Greenfield resident, the BGH Dental team is here to help. We are happy to offer same day urgent care appointments for patients experiencing dental emergencies. Whatever emergency dental situation you're experiencing, call our Greenfield dental office right away. One of our knowledgeable dental team members will walk you through first aid over the phone and help you manage your discomfort until you can get to our office.
Common Dental Emergencies
If you think you're in need of emergency dental care, do not hesitate to call us. Even if we determine you don't need to see us urgently, it's always best to get started repairing dental damage as soon as possible. Some of the situations we treat on an emergency basis include:
- Broken teeth or dental restorations
- Knocked out teeth or dental restorations
- Broken or bent partial or full dentures
- Severe toothache or dental sensitivity
- Foreign items stuck between teeth
- Soft tissue lacerations
Caring for Your Smile at Home
When you call us experiencing a dental emergency, we will walk you through first aid and pain management steps to keep you safe and comfortable until you reach our office. Some of the basics you can keep in mind include:
- Clean the damaged area using cool water, but don't scrub or use oral hygiene products unless expressly directed to do so.
- Use gentle pressure to slow bleeding from soft tissue (gums, lips, tongue, cheek) lacerations.
- Apply ice at 20 minute intervals to relieve pain, prevent swelling, and slow bleeding.
- Use floss to dislodge items caught between teeth, but don't use sharp objects or apply excessive pressure.
- If your tooth, dental restoration, or a large piece of your tooth or restoration are knocked out, try to replace them where they belong. If you're unable to replace the tooth or piece of the tooth, store it in a container of water or milk.
- Don't ever wear a broken, bent, or poorly fitting denture. You may cause unnecessary damage to your supportive gum and bone tissue.
Preventing Dental Emergencies
Not all dental emergencies are preventable, but you can reduce your risk for emergencies by keeping the following tips in mind:
- Maintain good oral health by brushing twice a day and flossing at least once each day
- Visit our team twice each year for dental exams and teeth cleanings
- Don't use teeth to open packages or crack nuts
- Don't chew fingernails, pen caps, ice, or other hard objects
- Use mouthguards as directed to protect teeth during sports or from nighttime teeth grinding
