John's got problems of his own, but those will have to wait while he tackles his job as a new 11th grade English Literature teacher at a school conducting a very unusual experiment. In this smart visual novel, you'll watch the lives of your students unfold through personal and private conversations you're not meant to see, and have to decide how to help them when they come to you for advice. A surprisingly fun, funny, and touching story that deals with everything from sex and sexuality to self-confidence, love, and, of course, privacy.

Games Featured:Games. Fresh games. Newly minted from game presses built before the turn of the century. Which, come to think of it, wasn't that long ago, was it? But it sounds like it's ancient. Classic. Time-tested. You keep thinking that while you play the gems below!

Don't be replaced by a robot! Just learn to program robots! Then send them on tasks involving crates, bombs, explosions and junk food in this free logic/programming puzzle game. Pragmatica is a smart game in the vein of SpaceChem and The Codex of Alchemical Engineering.

The first time I saw my velociraptor avatar trying desperately to outrun the scary wall of doom, I was completely sold. Three years have passed since the release of that Pixeljam racing platformer, and I find myself returning to its charms again and again. However, with time comes change, modification, upgrading, evolution. So is the potent rationale for the release of Dino Run: SE... And from what I've seen so far, it won't be going extinct from my hard drive any time soon.

BIT.TRIP RUNNER is the latest in a series of loosely-related retro-styled arcade games from Gaijin. You take on the role of CommanderVideo, a blocky little guy who can run, slide, and kick like nobody's business. Work your way through over 50 stages, using rhythm-based platforming as you nail every jump, grab every pile of gold, and avoid every obstacle in your path. Because you're just that awesome.

The world is in your hands in Red Redemption's sequel to 2007's Climate Challenge. Assume control of the newly formed GEO in this complex and challenging strategy simulation game that forces you to cope with the needs of not only the environment but the people who live in it in order to change the future, dealing with the issues afflicting each country throughout the world as you try to bring about change.

Games Featured:A definite "physics" theme for this edition of Weekend Download, featuring two games that bank their entire existence on force, momentum, gravity, friction, and all that sciencey stuff. Do they have what it takes to impress you, master of real world physics? Find out below!

Atom Zombie Smasher is a game about zombies. It is not, however, your typical game about zombies. Where other games about zombies might have you playing as the heroic survivor who somehow escaped infection via genetic anomaly or dumb luck, Blendo Games' latest release does not. Instead, this ridiculously innovative tower defense-like real-time strategy game will put you in the role of faceless commander charged with the evacuation of his fellow citizens. This time, you get to be the one who orders the orbital nukes!

Following in the tradition of the classic sandbox games (Sand Sand Sand and Powder Game), The Powder Toy by HardWIRED is a small download which stretches the boundaries of what is possible with a few simple elements. In fact, you can do almost anything with it, the only limit is your imagination.
Jan 2011
In spite of my overwhelming lack of talent for the platform genre, I'm completely smitten with Nyxquest: Kindred Spirits, a side-scrolling platformer by Over the Top Games that proves lovely visuals do not always have to come with over-the-top full-motion videos.
Jan 2011
Games Featured:So many games about cities, so little time! Whether you want a city that can't decide whether it's light or dark outside, a city that's infested with bugs, a city made out of colorful polygons, or, um, a city that's... not a city at all with blocks that change color... you're pretty much covered for the weekend!

The creator of The Codex of Alchemical Engineering and Bureau of Steam Engineering (not to mention the grandaddy of Minecraft, Infiniminer) is back with a full-fledged indie game ready to provide a serious logic puzzle challenge. SpaceChem is anything but simple, anything but easy, and one of the most satisfying puzzle games released. If you can solve its challenges, that is. SpaceChem is a game you'll spend a few minutes learning but weeks trying to master, and its 50+ levels are more than enough to strain your poor brain matter more than it's been strained in quite some time.

Virtual Villagers 5: New Believers is a brilliant addition to the genre and ramps up everything that is fun about the series. The puzzles are tougher as are the challenges, which is a good thing for those who love this series of village sims. The story has a darker, more sinister edge as you explore what the destruction and grief have done to the original inhabitants of Isola. There's much to love and recommend in this fantastic new adventure. Go explore!

Immortal Souls puts you in the role of John Turner, a street racer-turned vampire who out to protect New Haven from the forces of darkness. This comic-book like, turn-based RPG has detailed art and animation to go with its numerous epic battles. Can you help the forces of light overcome the forces of darkness?

Games Featured:Roguelikes seem to be a lost love amongst most modern gamers. "Give me simplicity!" they cry, "Give me pretty pictures!", "Let me play without reading a manual or memorizing commands!". Well, while they sit in the corner and play FarmVille, we'll settle down with our deliciously intriguing dungeon crawling RPGs of yore. Even though the glory days of Nethack are gone, the roguelike is alive and very well today, and there are a number of great projects that aim to bridge the gap between fans and non-fans so that everyone can enjoy the deep satisfaction of exploring the unknown.

Puzzle Dimension is a great-looking and extremely well-made 3D puzzle game from Doctor Entertainment. Your goal is to collect the sunflowers on each level. Roll the satisfyingly-solid stone block across the floating tiles, leaping over single-spaced gaps when necessary, and touch each flower to nab it. Now, factor in ice, vanishing blocks, and loads of other ingenious puzzle contraptions and you've got a satisfying and challenging game that never seems to get old!

Games Featured:Helpful tip for humans: if you ever find yourself in inclement weather, such as the rare steel storm that only comes out at night, seek shelter in the nearest building. If you can, find the Temple of Leemeealeaun, as it offers the best protection from these dangerous conditions.

Beginning today and continuing right up through Christmas Eve, a new level will be unlocked to play each day as we march closer to that most joyous of holidays filled with presents, friends and family gatherings.

A shoot-em-up game without guns is like a library without books, or an office chair without wheels. Sure they might have some other purpose, but what fun are they without these essential little elements? Fortunately, Super Crate Box is a retro-styled platform shooter that has more guns than you can shake a stick at in the time it takes to play. (Or a katana.)
Nov 2010
Games Featured:Confession: every writer behind the scenes at JIG is secretly some kind of mollusc. We hide it quite well, wearing suits and blazers and little thingies in our hair. But when you watch us walk, you start to wonder if something's a bit off. When you see us dance, you're sure of it.

Games Featured:Time for stuff! With the notable exception of Great Migrations, the games in this edition of Weekend Download seem to be dominated by white on black landscapes. Old school throwback or conscious atmospheric design choice? To that question I answer: yes!

Games Featured:Hey, you, weekend gamer. You want I should share games with you? You want they should be uh, fun? Good. Because I have games that are fun. RPG fun. Puzzle fun. Lasers fun. Lantern fun. What? You think lanterns are no fun? You think "flashlight.app" is more fun? Hmm. You need to play with lanterns more often, I think...

Winter Voices: Avalanche is a quiet, slow-paced, and very different kind of tactical role playing game. You play a young girl living in a snowy village whose father has just passed away. Dealing with the emotions that follow is difficult, and the mysteries surrounding her father's past makes it even more challenging. Avalanche is the first in a series of episodes telling the story of Winter Voices, and if you're looking for a game that's heavy on emotion, character, and storytelling, this one won't disappoint.

Games Featured:What's the most entertaining household object you can think of? Did you say "wooden crate"? Or, perhaps, "magnet"? "Broom"? You probably did, and since you did, you are rewarded with games that use said entertaining objects to provide even more entertainment in a digital, computerized form.

For some reason, everyone loves collecting things that are smaller than they are. We're not so much interesting in gathering buildings as we are looking at them, but if buildings were pint-sized, you can bet they'd fill our pockets like lint-covered jellybeans. Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds plays on this compulsion and puts you in control of a blob of gray goo that can eat anything smaller than it is. As you can guess, this is a dangerous thing to let loose on the Earth, but give it a time machine and all of the past and future could be in quite a pickle.
Oct 2010
Games Featured:Fooling around with the titles of this week's selection of games, I discovered something unusual. If you rearrange the letters, you can create the phrase "a decarbonised djinn met musing". Now, that may seem a bit random on the surface, but if you think about it (especially if you're a djinn who has had his carbon removed), you'll either go mad or realize it's kind of a funny thing. But, whatever... GAMES!

What Makes You Tick: A Stitch in Time is a handsome, evocative adventure game from Lassie Games. It features an excellent presentation, puzzles that are solid and never illogical, and a rich storyline. I continue to be entranced by the world of Ravenhallow and vicinity. One novel feature of A Stitch in Time is the ability to play every scene in both day and night. The differences between Ravenhallow in the day and nighttime are not only crucial to solving certain puzzles, but give you nearly twice as much game to explore. Ravenhallow becomes an entirely different world at night.

Games Featured:Video games have existed for so long, game parodies have begun to take hold. Those parodies have been around for so long, they're morphing into full, respectable games. Those full, respectable games are aging quite nicely, producing subtle bits of gaming candy like Space Funeral below!
- • Space Funeral

And Yet It Moves, the simple but marvelous indie release from Broken Rules, will reignite your love for video games. That, or it will cause you to shake with anger as you replay the same part of the game for the tenth time. It might even do both! The physics-centric platform adventure employs the familiar "world tilting" mechanic that allows you to rotate the entire game environment in 90 degree increments. And Yet It Moves then proceeds to do crazy and wonderful things with this, allowing you to explore a universe as strange as it is satisfying.
Oct 2010
Games Featured:We've got three very special games for you this weekend! Special because they're all retro in style, but also special because they're really good and can be played over and over and over again and still provide loads of fun.

Two years after your victory in the first game, Eschalon Book II finds you living a quiet life... perhaps too quiet, since your skills are beginning to erode, and you find yourself forgetting important details, but troubled by strange dreams. When you awake to find a note on your doorstep from a stranger who claims to know who you really are, you find that the adventure has only just begun in this turn-based isometric RPG featuring open world gameplay.

Daniel wakes up on the floor of an ancient castle, unable to remember anything but his name... unfortunate for him since his past might be out to get them.

Games Featured:A Game By Its Cover competition has ended, all the votes are in, and the games are ready to play! The competition asked artists to craft cover art for imaginary games, then the programmers stepped in and made games based on the art.

The platform adventure will never die. And that's a good thing! Frogatto & Friends injects a little more life into the classic genre, placing great-looking pixel art and a satisfying action/exploration game in front of your eyes for the low low price of free!

REVENGE. That's the only thing on sixteen-year-old Merui's mind when a valuable item is stolen from her... inside a popular online game, that is. The thief, Alistair, offers her a deal; if she can figure out his identity before a month is up, he'll return the stolen item. Of course, that's easier said than done when Merui's schoolwork and personal life keep getting in the way of this polished, charming visual novel from developers Sake Visual.

Games Featured:It's not often you find songs with lyrics in a video game. It's even less common that those lyrics explain how to play the game. Man Enough does both of those and somehow manages to squeeze in an image of a manly moustache between each round. Be impressed with catchy expositions!!!

Gaius James Rover is really having a bad day; first the ship he was escorting to the governor was captured by pirates, and when he finally manages to escape he finds out that not everything is on the up-and-up. Also, he's a dog. Jolly Rover is a weird and funny point-and-click adventure with some of the scurviest dogs and cheekiest humour you could ever hope to see.

Instead, he may find more than he could ever be prepared for in Frictional Games' survival horror series about dark and secrets. What you can't see can hurt you.

Games Featured:Multiple endings HURRAH! Different outcomes to the stories you are playing are nothing new, but it isn't often that the games are short and entertaining enough to encourage you to gather them all. It's interesting to play through several times just to see how your actions affect the game world. Two of this week's games feature different endings, and you'll definitely want to experience some of these alternate conclusions!

In Fractal, a puzzle game by the authors of Auditorium, your goal is to create "blooms" which are composed of six hexagons of the same color. On the surface it sounds like a simple matching puzzle, but the web-like nature of the gameplay and the gorgeous presentation makes it so very much more.

Emberwind is an adventure-themed platform game from indie dev TimeTrap. The city of Grendale has been overrun by gremlins commanded by the evil CandleFinger.

Well, a little bit of time and effort with Sleep is Death will let you do just that, all in the form of a playable experience for you and a friend.

Sam and Max are back in another season of episodic adventure games! Expanding upon the established point-and-click formula explored in Sam & Max - Culture Shock and following episodes, the first game in The Devil's Playhouse season, The Penal Zone, lets you see things through the warped perspective of Max. Yes, it's as crazy as you think, if not moreso. But it's still a lot of adventuring goodness with the duo's characteristic sense of humor slapped on every object and situation.

Games Featured:Simplicity is often overlooked in modern games. Whereas early programmers had little more to work with than a few lines of code and a green-on-black screen, modern game makers can have armies of programmers, artists, and computers on their side. It doesn't take 3D visuals and realistic physics to make a good game, though, as indie game creators prove time and time again. This week's games are small in some ways, but enormous in others, and all have that special something that makes you treasure the time you spend with it.

Once upon a time, an exceptional game designer decided to put his hands to making a 'cool' game. It worked. The result was Excitebike, a fast-paced and challenging motorbike racing game. Released this year is the strikingly similar debut game from Turborilla, the aptly titled Mad Skills Motocross. While there are obvious differences between the latter and former games, the general idea of "move right using a motorbike while making jumps and going fast" is here, and that's what we like to see.

On the list of things that are more useful in video games than they are in the real world, grappling hooks are certainly near the top. Acquiring a grappling hook in the real world is positively thrilling, until you start thinking of ways you can actually (and legally) use it. Fortunately, the aptly-titled Grappling Hook isn't grounded in reality. The puzzle platformer from SpeedRunGames is filled with 22 levels of quick-thinking grappling goodness that is sure to keep you zooming around for hours.

From Amanita Design, creator of the famously brilliant Samorost series, comes Machinarium, a game so well-conceived and implemented it can confidently launch as one of the best point-and-click adventures of all time. Machinarium is nothing short of a playable piece of art. Similar to Samorost in style and gameplay, you play a lone robot thrown out of the city working his way through desolate mechanical slums. Solve puzzles, find and combine items, and encounter loads of creative characters in your quest. Machinarium is one of those rare games you can't praise enough.

Explore, descend, discover... just remember to watch your back and keep one hand on your whip!

Games Featured:Three truly heavy-hitting games on this edition of Weekend Download, two of them weighing in as unofficial sequels to commercially released games. Don't let that keep you from trying Journey to the Center of the Earth, however, as it packs even more punch than the name brands!

The main goal in Osmos is simple: you, an amoeba-esque organism known as a "mote," must absorb smaller motes to become bigger. As your size increases, you are able to absorb more and more motes until you are the largest one in the area. This seems like a simple objective, and at its core it is. But, in order to propel yourself around to capture motes, you must expel a part of your own mass, which in turn decreases your size. It's a beautiful and unique game of calm strategy and intense thought.

Games Featured:It's a weekend of Ludum Dare! The solo game development competition sends people on a quest to create a game from scratch in 48 hours based on a theme.

Games Featured:Our goal is to bring you only the games that are worth playing, meaning most of these titles are left in the forgotten realm of Didn't Quite Make It land. This is especially true with downloadable games, as it's a bit more of a commitment to buy a game than just click on a link and play. Some games look good, play well, and are entertaining enough to be featured, but for one reason or another they just didn't make the cut. Here are a few games that are, by all rights, excellent titles to play, but for one reason or another didn't quite get their own review.

NANTUCKET, Mass. (AP) The Massachusetts coast was spared the worst of Tropical Storm Beryl, which left high surfs but minimal damage and kept on its way to Nova Scotia.
"It's turned out to be a good beach day," Rocky Cox, owner of Chicken Box bar on Nantucket, said Friday morning.
"On Nantucket, if they say its going to hit us directly, it usually misses us," he said.
That was pretty much the case with Beryl.
VIDEO:Beryl makes landfall without much fanfare
The bulk of the rain, between 2 and 3 inches, fell over the ocean well east of the island, according to the National Weather Service, while rainfall over Cape Cod and the islands varied between two-tenths of an inch and half an inch. Wind gusts on Nantucket topped out at 44 mph.
Nantucket residents are used to hoping for the best while preparing for the worst, said Liz Almodobar, who sells real estate on the island.
"We had a lot of wind and a lot of rain. But it turned out to be nothing much of anything, and that was a relief," she said, adding that the sun had even poked it way through the clouds Friday between intermittent rain and fog.
NStar, which has about 200,000 customers on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard, had minimal power outages. "We had very few power outages and we're not even sure they were storm related," spokesman Mike Durand said.
National Grid reported no storm-related power outages, spokeswoman Debbie Drew said.
The Coast Guard reported no storm-related maritime emergencies.
However, a high surf warning remained in effect until 6 p.m.
The storm hit Nantucket around 3 a.m. Friday, said Jack Beven, a hurricane specialist at National Hurricane Center in Miami.
It was last reported about 215 miles west-southwest of Nova Scotia, moving northeast at 23 mph, according to the center.
A record 28 named storms and 15 hurricanes, including Katrina, occurred during last year's June-November Atlantic hurricane season.
The first named storm of the 2006 season, Tropical Storm Alberto, swept over Florida in mid-June, then plowed northward along the coast past the Outer Banks. It was blamed for one drowning.

Not just the healthy stuff, it is also important to bring love into the kitchen, says cookbook writer Mallika Badrinath
When Mallika Badrinath was growing up, the women in her joint family shared in their spare time activities. She remembers big bedcovers being embroidered that way. A mami would start something, and when she was called away, an athai would add a few stitches to it, then the periamma would take it up and embellish some more and so on, till the project was completed in no time. Cooking too, was a collective activity, and, as Mallika remembers it, as enthusiastically accomplished.
In the city recently to take part in 'The Taste of Coimbatore' food festival, Mallika shared her early memories of food as a young girl in Salem. She also spoke of the new book she was working on. Mallika has 24 recipe books to her credit in English, Tamil, Kannada and Telegu. She currently hosts the popular cookery show Suvaiana Samayal on Polymer channel between 1 p.m. and 1.30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and Unavum Ootamum on Podhigai on Sundays between 2.40 p.m and 3 p.m.
The gravy train
Passionate about cooking, Mallika spent many hours copying down recipes from her athais, peraimmas, paatis and mamis. It was when she was wading through these recipes after marriage, trying to locate something, that her husband first suggested she publish them. In 1988, Mallika, took all the curry recipes she had, and put them into her first book and called it Vegetarian Gravies.
"I grew up in a joint family which gave me ample opportunity to learn about food and techniques," she says.
From paati
One of her most prized possessions is her grandmother's own recipe book that includes the unusual jasmine rice. Mallika describes how jasmine buds are moistened, laid out on a muslin cloth covering the rice that is then steamed. There is a recipe for orange rice, too. "During Margazhi, my grandmom made a kalanda saadam a day. From this came my book Rice Delights."
Rare dishes such as these find their way into her books. These recipes may otherwise have been lost forever.
However, Mallika is aware that householders are busier nowadays, and many may not have the inclination for complicated procedures.
So, she has altered the recipes in a way even the most harried cook can follow. It is interesting to note how from her first book, where she advocates the use of ghee instead of oil to fry the masala, Mallika graduates to cooking with soya, less oil, tofu and other healthier options.
Oats boasts
She is currently working on an oats special. While oats is healthy, lesser cooks than Mallika who have tried to cook with oats have ended up with a gloopy mess. But Mallika swears that "pidi kozhakattai made with oats tastes even better than the traditional preparation." Her oats cook book is in its finishing stages, so we will have to wait and see. She takes a little longer than most to write her books, says Mallika. This is because she tries out all her recipes before she puts them out there for everyone. "Even a beginner should be able to follow my instructions," she says. And, according to her, "The most important garnish in all my recipes is a smile."

"Crime and Punishment"
I remember trying to keep my interest in tedious Russian life many, many years ago. I listened to about 5% of the book this time, some 70 years later. I became completely morose. I congratualated myself on my strength of character, but at my advanced age I decided I didn't need to "keep hitting myself on the head with a hammer," and deleted the book.
Well, one becomes wise as one ages and one doesn't have to finish a school requirement!

3/5/2014 (1 year ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Russia has largely turned a deaf ear to the U.S. and its allies over its invasion of Ukraine and the tightening placed on Crimea. While U.S. President Barack Obama has warned Russia of possible sanctions over its military land grab in Ukraine, Moscow has largely ignored international threats.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Obama said the world is "largely united" against Russia's military action. He says he is considering economic and diplomatic steps that would gradually isolate Russia.
Criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin for being "on the wrong side of history," Obama said "What cannot be done is for Russia with impunity to put its soldiers on the ground and violate basic principles that are recognized around the world. Over time, this will be a costly proposition for Russia."
Light up the darkness -- by going here!
But the U.S. and European Union are at a loss for solutions. There are fears that the Kremlin might carry out more land grabs in pro-Russian eastern Ukraine, or elsewhere in the former Soviet Union.
Russia appears to be driving the agenda. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in Geneva at the beginning of a U.N. Human Rights Council session that Ukraine should return to the February 21 agreement signed by pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych - but not by Moscow - aimed at ending Ukraine's governing crisis.
Yanukovych fled the country after sealing a pact with the domestic opposition, along with the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Poland that called for early elections and the weakening of presidential powers.
"Instead of a promised national unity government," Mr. Lavrov said, "a 'government of the victors' has been created." He justified the Russian intervention in the Crimean peninsula as necessary for the protection of Russian citizens and ethnic Russians within Ukraine's borders.
In the meantime, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Samantha Power, said Mr. Lavrov's assertions were "without basis in reality."
"What is happening today is a dangerous military intervention in Ukraine," Ms. Power said. "It is an act of aggression. It must stop."

would this work for planter, what to plant in it if so?? thanks
So i went to some garage sales last weekend, and i found this neat looking thing from maybe the 1980's. I bought it thinking i could use it as a small planter for something. I got to really looking at it and realized there is not any drain holes in the bottom of it, and not sure if i can make a couple or not. So i dedcided to take a picture of it and post it on here and see if others had any suggestions...do you think a small catcus would be good in here, or some other type of small plant?? It appears whomever had it might have used it for a planter at some point. It has old soil, a couple small chucks of bark, and something that looks like mini tumble weeds. Lol.
Any ideas or thoughts would be helpful. I am not crafty by nature but thought this was a neat little planter. The bottom of it seems to be a solid black plastic and the back is mirrors and front glass.
Thanks jane :) i will try it and see what happens. There is some dirt in it, so im not sure how well it worked for them, or even what it is really supposed to be. I just thought it looked kind of interesting and got it.
If i can get a few holes in it, do you think a small catcus would be better to try and put in it??
Once AGAIN Al,
Thanks for the advice. That sounds like it would be easier. It seems someone else had tried to grow something in it, but it appears to not of turned out to well due to seeing the left behind stuff in it. I love the idea of finding different and neat things to use as planters. And after looking through this site and seeing pictures of yours and others i was inspired to visit garage sales, and thrift stores in hopes of finding random odds and ends to use as planters.
How do you decided what will work and what wont?? I know drainiage is a main thing. But i seen a catcus of al's i believe that was in this round jar that i dont think it had holes in the bottom (i found a slightly larger and different color jar that was like in a picture and it does not have darin holes and its cermatic) but a catcus was planted in it so thats why i was thinking catcus of some sort, but i do have a small jade plant i was thinking of trying to take a leave and start it. I might try that out with this planter maybe instead of buying more plants right now.
My adventure starts tomorrow. I have found all the things that will work to make the 5-1-1 mix and i am starting tomorrow to start the sifting of materials to try and make a batch :) i have a couple different things i am going to try and use for a screen. I think that might be the only thing i am unsure of at this time, but i guess i wont learn unless i try it :)
Thanks all for the help and suggestions as i am just learning but willing to try some things to see what happens. Its definalty a learning curve :)

Meshing the sweat of Memphis with the pleading, deep-fried sizzle of Muscle Shoals in its prime, the songs on The Soul Truth shift from bluesy, testifying ballads ("Strong Enough") to horn-infused steamy funkers ("Better Not Touch") to late-night gospel ballads (Dobie Gray swings in to duet on "Used") with the effortless, down-home intensity of Otis Redding. You won't find her on MTV or in the top 40, but for those who reject the plastic, Pro Tools-sculpted pop and slick cookie-cutter music that dominates the airwaves, Shemekia Copeland speaks the "soul truth." --Hal Horowitz
Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
Shemekia Copeland simply has a beautiful, strong, and soulful voice.
There are no screeching guitar solos, just good time music played by an adept band with Memphis grooves, stirring lyrics, and those explosive vocals.
Her previous two records were good, but the production was not up to snuff and the material was simplistic and deliberate.
Was very satified recieved this CD just 4 days after ordering and it was in excellant shape would order again from this companyPublished on May 31, 2010 by B. Dominski

We traveled to Lake Sandoval during the dry season. This means the path to the lake was dry. We were able to hike it quickly and not worry about getting our shoes muddy.
This involved travelling up river for 40 minutes and then hiking a well travelled path to an area where you take a small skiff around the Lake....
Well worth it, long walk through the jungle and then row around Lago Sandoval and then lunch on the shore in a local tribe's camp. Worth spending a night in the camp. Dont leave Puerto Maldonado without spending at least 1 day here
It is beautiful, the wildlife is close to you but you're not in danger. The lake feels magic. I would recommend bringing binoculars for a better experience.
We booked a package with Uncover Latin America that took us to Cusco and then here and I must say this was my favourite part of the trip (MAchu Picchu is amazing) but this is a different class. the wildlife you see is unbelievable the whole place is a national reserve so the flora and fauna on show is out...
It is a special treat to see part of a protected area that is really doing it's job well. This oxbow lake is the home to the giant river otter that is endangered but whose numbers are coming back. It was extremely peaceful since there is no development or land conversion on the edge of the lake.
Our videos and...
great walk in. Lots of parrots, Macows, bats, nasty spiders, camine, river otters, piranha, lots of birds, a few bitting insects' take repellent, good shoes and expect rain. The pool felt great when we got back.
This review is actually for my entire experience at this place from 4th October to 8th October. We were two families that went with three kids between us ages 9 and 12. So we went travelling to Puerto Maldonado on Madre de Dios. OMW what an experience it was. From the Magical Sandoval Lake where piranhas, birds, monkeys, otters and...
I visited Lago Sandoval earlier in June with a couple of friends and we had an amazing time at Lago Sandoval! It is an great place if you want to get away from the comfort of daily life and experience something new, something unique!!
We booked a stay at the Sandoval Lake Lodge through Green Tracks Tours. A Shangri la in the jungle and a highlight of our visit in Peru. We are nature lovers and it's a such a tranquil beautiful place. Our guide "Javier" was so professional, attentive and informative. We saw giant otters, monkeys, agouti, many species of birds, just to...
Great boat rides and trekking in this wonderful park.
Lovely nature and lots of wild animals, river passes and great jungle bridges.
great experience, highly recommended

Annaclaudia, her husband and their cute little son stayed in my flat, alltogether has been an amazing experience. Annaclaudia is well organised, comunicates well her plan and schedule. The check in went smoothly, and the same for the check out. Most important of all, Annaclaudia looked after my flat as if it was her own, and the falt was left in mint condition. Guest as Annaclaudia and her family are the dream for hosts on airbnb. Highly reccomended!
I met Annaclaudia in college, and she was always fun to hang out with and helpful at group studies and events. From my experience, she definitely would make a nice guest or airbnb host.
Annaclaudia, ospitale e gentile, colta e simpatica, è un'ottima persona da visitare. Consigliatissima!

According to Statistics Estonia, consumer prices in April were in average 4 percent higher than a year earlier.
Prices increased 0.3 percent in average from March 2012.
Goods were 3 percent and services 5.9 percent more expensive compared to April 2011.
In April, the monthly change in the consumer price index was mainly influenced by food and motor fuel. Regulated prices of goods and services have risen by 10.9 percent and non-regulated prices by 1.7 percent compared to April of the previous year.
Compared to April 2011, the index was mainly influenced by housing expenditures which gave almost a half of the total increase. Of which in turn nearly 80 percent gave 14 percent more expensive electricity, heat energy and fuels. 13.7 percent more expensive motor fuel gave nearly a fifth of the total increase. Compared to April of the previous year, of food products, the prices of eggs (45 percent) and smoked and salted fish (14 percent) have increased the most. In April 2012, potatoes were 62 percent and fresh vegetables 20 percent cheaper than a year earlier.
In April the price of eggs reached the highest level of the past years. Looking back at the last five years, the previous peak was in March 2008. After that the prices decreased, then slightly increased in the middle of 2010, then decreased again and remained on a relatively low level with small rises and falls until the beginning of 2012, when a fast price increase began. Compared to the previous peak in March 2008, eggs were 12 percent more expensive in April 2012.

Keep Going, Keep Making a Difference
This guest post is by Autism Speaks staffer Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a graduate student at Seton Hall University. He started the club Student Disability Awareness on campus to help spread awareness and raise funds for those affected by autism. Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students who host awareness, advocacy and fundraising events.
In late September, The Combating Autism Reauthorization Act (CARA) was passed through Senate and was then signed into law by our President Barack Obama. One of the champions in Senate who helped us get there was New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez. Almost 2 weeks ago he came to an autistic school called Regional Day in my hometown of Jersey City, New Jersey to give a speech about the significance of the act. What I was amazed at though was when I received a call from his office to speak at the event! In front of countless media, family, and friends I spoke about my story with autism and what the impact an act like this will have not only for me but for countless others who are affected by autism.
The Combating Autism Reauthorization Act as some may recall will grant 693 million dollars to the autistic community for the next 3 years. Even though this is a great feat we still most continue to push forward as I stress in my speech as autism never takes a vacation so neither can we.
Below is a Youtube clip of me speaking at the event that I hope you all enjoy. Thank you!

I have programmed a little Server with multiple Threads. After a lot of hours (saidly currently I can't reproduce the problem) the server stops working. My code looks like this.
System.out.println("Point 1");
Socket abc = serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Point 2");
connection = true;
Thread1 waits in a Thread.sleep(1000) loop and checks if connection is true. If so, it starts working, otherwise it prints "waiting". If connection aborts, it sets connection to false.
Now my Mainprogramm connects to the Server. Server prints waiting waiting (and so on, till connection is established) Point 1 Point 2 as it should.
Now after multiple hours of running, my client can still connect, it says connection established (done via clientSocket = new Socket(inetAddress,Integer.parseInt(port)); assumes connection established when this command succeeds without an exception).
After multiple hours of running Thread1 only prints "waiting", "waiting", no matter how often I connect with my client. I'm stumped with it, because it happens only after multiple hours of running. Java version is java version "1.7.0_07" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10) Are there any known issues with this version or where can be the mistake?
