East blows. BOS. Not even sold on them being better.
Sweep by Boston. That New York team would be better in a year or two. If this were real, a series like this would humble that Isles team and make them better for it.
New York Rangers - Atlanta Braves - New York Giants - Kobe Bryant
Literally the worst ECF ever played on this game.
New York Islanders first line would be crazy but bostons depth and goaltending win out
crap whats is my name
Islanders should have never made it past the first round, but still Toronto and Columbus weren't the toughest competition compared to TB...

What a Weekend in St. Lucie County: Dec. 7-9
Take new holiday tradition for test drive
Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties will sponsor the first Holiday Social & Runway of Dreams from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Dec. 8 at Treasure Coast Lexus, 5121 S. U.S. 1 in Fort Pierce. There will be music by Maddie Williams and Friends, hors d'oeuvres and desserts, wine tastings and the runway show featuring Big Brothers Big Sisters matches who spent the afternoon getting pampered and styled. Guests can take part in live auctions and a raffle in which a ticket costs a donated toy. Admission is $15 per person or $25 per couple. For tickets and information, call 772-466-8535 or go to bbbsbigs.org.
'Raid' re-enactors civil about war
The gray-clad lads of 8th Florida Company C will do their best to hold off the Yankees in the 75th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the Raid on Fort Pierce, a Civil War battle re-enactment from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 8 and 9 at the Savannas Recreation Area, 1400 Midway Road south of Fort Pierce. Technically, it's not really a re-enactment because there was no raid on Fort Pierce during the Civil War; but it is an opportunity for young and old alike to learn what life and war were like during the 1860s. Both the Yankee and Rebel camps will be open for inspection from 9 a.m. to noon each day. The "battles" will be from 1 to 2 p.m. Dec. 8 and 2 to 3 p.m. Dec. 9. Admission is $6 for adults, $1 for ages 5 to 17 and free for kids under 5. For information, 772-318-8258 email@example.com.
Drumming up holiday spirit
Nothing says the holidays like Caribbean steel drums. As you're getting your weekly good eats at the Downtown Farmers' Market on Dec. 8, swing by the Fort Pierce Branch Library, 101 Melody Lane, at 11:30 a.m. to hear the Fort Pierce Magnet School of the Arts' Steel Drum Band perform a tropical, holiday concert on the library steps. The event is free and open to the public. For information, call 772-462-1615 or visit library.stlucieco.gov.
Have a sax-y Christmas
Saxophone sensation B.K. Jackson was just 17 years old when he first appeared at the Sunrise Theatre in downtown Fort Pierce. Now all of 20 years old, the Tampa native returns at 8 p.m. Dec. 8 for a show in the Black Box theater that combines his youthful energy and professionalism beyond his years. After all, Jackson has been performing since the tender age of 11. Tickets are $35. For information, call the theater at 117 S. Second St. at 772-461-4775 or go to the Sunrise website, sunrisetheatre.com.

A Stylist Takes On IKEA
An interesting story hit my inbox a few weeks ago and I had not a moment to examine it further until today. I am so glad I did! Wow! I think this may inspire those of you who either have a lot of IKEA things in your home and feel bored with it or for others who see IKEA as only a place for the budget-conscious or college crowd. In these images below, stylist Lo Bjurulf, who is represented by Agent Bauer, takes everyday IKEA objects and styles them in a way that gives them a whole new look and feel. Take a look and leave your thoughts below, I'd love to hear from you and see what you think of these styled shots.
See what a little creativity can do to budget items?

So beautiful….I adore that image of all of the lights over the long table….beautiful. I feel like I am always more impressed when someone takes less expensive items and makes them fresh or works them in with pricier items and creates something beautiful than when they are working with only designer pieces. I love seeing folks imagination at work when they are creating a beautiful space. So great…

i've always had a love/hate relationship with ikea. i always felt their stuff did the trick, but it always felt cheap to me. or that it needed something. it has is place/need in the world obviously.
anyway. these images are beautiful.
…if i only knew when i was a senior in high school that i could be a 'stylist' … that would be my dream job.
i think it takes a great skill to be able to take something so ordinary and turn it into something beautiful. while it may not be a persons desired 'style', you must admit its super pretty and very well done.
thank you soo much for sharing this!!

My husband and I were just walking through the many vignettes at our local Ikea in Frisco, TX. I was commenting to him that most of their displays had a contemporary look to them….but many of the items could be used in different style settings. This article is exactly what I was thinking. Can you imagine what Lo could do with the entire Ikea store?

I am with Clarity K about this one. The furnishings could be just about any simple Scandinavian pieces. The settings make the photos. I was one of the first nine people hired by IKEA in the United States for the first store. My relationship with the place, is as Michael the Innkeeper says, love-hate. Conflicted. Dubious. Adoring. I just realized that I have now officially had IKEA as part of my life for 25 years. I remember how disappointed I was when I brought all my new Ikea stuff home for the first time and it DID NOT look like the vignettes into the store. A tremendous amount of work and design go into IKEA store vignettes. These photos prove it again — it's not about the furnishings (alone), it's about everything else that goes into the ambience.

The photos look great, but I've made a decision to boycott Ikea when it comes to purchasing furniture I need to use from now on – and most smaller things too.
So many items I've purchased over the last 2-4 years have barely stood up to 12 months of very ordinary (or even less than ordinary) use – some haven't survived 6 months. This makes Ikea very expensive rather than cheap!
I even wrote to the local CEO about this, outlining multiple examples. He expressed surprise at what I was saying, which I felt couldn't possibly be true!
I can't see anything will change unless people's buying habits change in a big way. So I've decided that from now on I'll be spending more on things that are going to work out cheaper for my pocket and the planet in the long run, no matter how nice Ikea things might look before you use them.

I think the point is not that Ikea objects are made in large quantities and sold cheap, but that they are versatile items and it's up to the owner's sensibility to "make them work". The fact that they are so clean and minimalist shouldn't be seen as a limitation; I think they're perfect canvasses to highlight individuality and embrace imagination.
I thought the pictures were pretty but chilly… a wedding setting without guests and bride and groom looks as if everyone had left in a rush. Just a personal feeling.
Nat commented
July 22nd, 2010 at 9:29am
I always find that items look better in photos than real life. Don't get me wrong, I love Ikea and have many items from there. But there's Ikea–cheap-o stuff; and there's Ikea – higher end stuff. Items the stylist used are NOT cheap by any means.
I find that Ikea is great for a quick fix, their organizational items are amazing and, of course, the stylists know their job. Still you have to look at each individual item to judge the quality and durability.

Ikea is great…. it's just like making vintage or resale finds successful. I agree, if taken literally {i.e. all Ikea or all tag sale} it can look too budget-conscious. But when those items juxtaposed with a few beautiful pieces or inexpensive items are used in a ridiculously high quantity, it can produce a opulent effect.

Riccio re-elected BF village presidentStaff Report | May 22,2013BELLOWS FALLS — Village President Roger Riccio was re-elected as Bellows Falls village president Tuesday, easily out-distancing two challengers.
Village voters also re-elected Trustee Colin James and elected Charlie Hunter to a spot on the board as well.
Riccio, executive director of the Great Falls Regional Chamber of Commerce, had 217 votes to 80 votes for former Village President Lance Allen. Trustee Deb Wright, who was running for village president as well as her trustee position, received 77 votes.
Hunter was the top vote getter for trustee with 197, James had 173 votes; other candidates were Scott Falzo with 154 votes, Leslie White with 138 votes, and Wright, who got 61 votes.
Wright attributed her double defeat to her outspokeness and her opposition to merging the village of Bellows Falls with the town of Rockingham. The matter has been a perennial political issue, but is not currently under active discussion.
Wright is vice chairwoman of the Rockingham Free Public Library, which recently voted to close the library building while renovations are being completed on handicapped accessibility improvements. Wright said she didn't think that controversial vote played a role in her fate at the polls.MORE IN This Just InWOODFORD - Vermont State Police say a husband and wife from Troy, N.Y.

Which nVidia card to replace Radeon 9700Pro
Well...I figured that an nVidia forum would be the best place to ask this so here goes. I currently have a Radeon 9700 Pro. Prior to that I owned a Kyro, GeForce2 MX, and a GeForce4 Ti 4400 (or 4600...can't remember which). Well, needless to say I'm not happy with the fact that there aren't any 64-bit linux drivers (even 2d) for my Radeon and it doesn't seem like there will be any time soon. So I'll be looking to replace it in the near future, like in the next 2 weeks. I was wondering what is a roughly comparable nVidia card these days to the 9700Pro. The 5900 looks about like what I'm looking for and which in some benchmarks seems a little slower, the performance difference is such that I won't notice. Am I correct in assuming that this is about as close as I'll get without spending HUGE ammounts of money on a 5950?

PIERRE, S.D. – (DRG News) Governor Dennis Daugaard announced Friday that railroad lines serving South Dakota shippers have committed to providing three additional grain trains per week. Daugaard was notified of the commitment during a recent meeting in the nation's capital with leaders from Rapid City, Pierre & Eastern Railroad (RCP&E) and the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). Daugaard said in a statement late last week that the state has had historically large harvests back-to-back and needs the best service it can get from its rail carriers. He calls the development a welcome one and says it should provide some relief to those who depend on the RCP&E line. Although RCP&E has purchased the line, the Canadian Pacific will still be a part of South Dakota's agriculture shipping because CP moves RCP&E freight from Tracy, Minnesota to consumers in Minnesota, Illinois and other states. South Dakota's Agriculture Secretary Lucas Lentsch says in a statement that the complications with the rail sale from CP to RCP&E were not unexpected, but says it was unfortunate that the issues arose in June and July when the state was getting ready to take in this year's harvest. Lentsch believes the addition of three more grain trains a week will give producers and shippers some relief. He goes on to say that railroads are just part of the story however, so producers and shippers need to plan for what they can do to manage these large harvests and make room now to store grain wherever possible.

JRNRWA has been successful in promoting 'self-help' concept among the residents
Located on the side of National Highway, Jagannadha Raju Nagar, a private layout has emerged as a model colony, thanks to the trend-setting initiative of the residents.
The colony connecting Patha Venkojipalem and HB Colony road and Siva Sankar Nagar (Isukathota) was an agriculture land till mid-1980s. A.V.S.S. Rama Rao and I.B. Narasimha Raju were the senior most residents. Nandini and Ravi Chakra were the first two apartments built in the area in 1990, which later saw spurt in construction activity. Like other areas located in the city, the colony also saw boom in realty prices. Now flats are available at Rs.4,500 per square feet or so whereas senior residents say when the colony was in its initial stage of formation, they could buy a spacious two bed flat for just Rs.3 lakh in early 1990s.
Though it used to be a nightmare to move in the colony after sunset due to open defecation and anti-social activities with no street lights and blacktop roads till 1992-93, today the colony, home for nearly 1500 people can boast of a being one of the best maintained colonies.
The credit for transforming the private layout into a posh colony goes to the plethora of initiatives taken by the Jagannatha Raju Nagar Residents' Welfare Association (JRNRWA). It has also been successful in promoting 'self-help' concept among the residents. As the roads were initially not laid, the association took the initiative to lay roads on its own by offering 'shramadanam' and contributing around Rs. 20,000 for a 600-metre road connecting the Highway and Municipal High School. Later, it laid another road from the HB Colony to Anjaneyaswamy temple. The association regularly takes up clean and green programme and holds awareness programmes on various social issues like women safety and need to maintain ecological balance and personal hygiene at regular intervals. It also conducts medical camps where hypertension, diabetes and eye check-ups are conducted. Body mass index and lipid profile tests are also done to sensitise the residents on their health status.
The association celebrated its first decade by holding a symposium on December 22, 2003 and second decade celebration is planned by conducting a day-long symposium on combating the degrading of environment: Role of residents' welfare associations on December 22, 2013.
The most praiseworthy achievement of the association is to provide its own security for the colony by some of the senior citizens. In the morning as well as in the evening, some of the senior citizens keep a watch by turns against chain-snatching, open defecation and anti-social activities.
Recent attraction
The recent attraction in the colony is installation of Buddha statue and development of road near the Highway as a make-shift walking track. "Being a private layout, we don't have lung space. Hence, we have been requesting GVMC to convert nearly 2,000 square yards of land as a park," said former NIO scientist and president of JRNRWA president K.S.R. Murthy. "As the ownership of the land is sub judice, pending its disposal, we wanted ad hoc possession to the association to develop greenery," he said. The residents want 20 A city bus extended to the colony and shifting of bus stop at Bhooolokamatha temple to a convenient area to decongest traffic. "Its dream colony one would wish to own a flat or independent house to live in peace and tranquillity with easy access to hospitals, shops and malls. Our association is also so pro-active that we have a news bulletin of our own," said B. Perumallu Raju, an agriculturist and secretary of JRNRWA..

"Adoption of green processes will be profitable"
TIRUCHI: The need for Government, industry and researchers to join hands for minimising toxic waste from industry was emphasised at the inaugural of Horizon – 2007, a national-level students' symposium on 'Green Chemistry' organised by the Department of Chemistry, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchi (NIT-T) on Friday.
Speakers highlighted the enormous research opportunities that exist in the area of substituting hazardous substances with those that are bio-degradable.
Green practices
The Government could ensure green practices in industries by making them send periodic reports on the methods and use of materials, and strictly compliance with Pollution Prevention Act, S. Perumal, Professor, School of Chemistry, Madurai Kamaraj University said, inaugurating the symposium.
Adoption of green processes will be profitable for the industries in the long run.
Currently, the expenditure that industries incur towards treating effluents and pollutants before their release exceeds the production costs. For sustainability of the environment, use of chemicals based on petroleum products must be replaced with those sourced from renewable substances, Dr. Perumal said, advocating use of water as solvent.
Use of solvents could be circumvented through thorough mix of reactants in small measure, he informed.
Presiding over, the NIT-T Director M. Chidambaram said the topic was highly relevant in the current context and urged the participants to make the most of the event through active interaction.
Exchange programmes
Dr. Chidambaram favoured student exchange programmes with front-ranking foreign institutions for effective exposure to emerging developments under the aegis of Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP).
Head of the Department of Chemistry N. Sulochana said the department was according thrust on research through networking with various institutions.

Big miner buys pair of energy companies for $9B
Wednesday - 12/5/2012, 12:20pm EST
By JONATHAN FAHEY
AP Energy Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Mining company Freeport-McMoRan is buying a pair of oil and gas producers for $9 billion, creating a natural resources conglomerate with assets ranging from oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico to mines in Indonesia.
Freeport, based in Phoenix, is paying $6.9 billion in cash and stock for Plains Exploration Co., and $2.1 billion for McMoRan Exploration Co. Freeport will also assume $11 billion in debt in the deal.
Plains Exploration, based in Houston, produces oil in California, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico, along with natural gas in Louisiana. McMoRan Exploration, based in New Orleans, is developing natural gas resources that lie deep below shallow water regions of the Gulf of Mexico.
The recent track record of miners buying oil and gas companies has been mixed.
BHP Billiton, the Australian mining giant, wrote down the value of its U.S. natural gas assets by $2.8 billion in August. The company had paid $5 billion for much of those assets in 2011 when it bought reserves in the Fayetteville Shale in Arkansas from Chesapeake Energy.
Natural gas prices in the U.S. have been pushed sharply lower in recent years because drillers have learned to unlock enormous amounts of natural gas from shale formations under several states, dramatically boosting supplies.
BHP Billiton also acquired Petrohawk Energy in 2011 for $12 billion. Petrohawk focused on oil instead of gas, though, so BHP did not have to write down those assets.
U.S. oil production is at its highest level since 1998, according to the Energy Department, but global oil prices have remained relatively high.
Freeport shareholders generally owned the company for its exposure to copper and will not embrace the move, Anthony Rizzuto, an analyst at Dahlman Rose, wrote in a note to clients.
The company's stock price fell $5.06, or 13 percent, to $33.22, in midday trading.
The Freeport deals, which must be approved by shareholders, are expected to close in the second quarter of 2013.

Trippz Michaud - Look What the Cat Dragged In
Artist: Trippz Michaud
Producer: The Young Boyz
Album: The Adventures of Trippz Vol. 2
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 5 votes )
Well, well, well, Look What the Cat Dragged In: another fresh video single from Trippz Michaud. On the latest song release off his forthcoming, Booth-hosted EP, the South Windsor buzzmaker reveals that he's been holding back on us. Dope as his bars on previous features Oh Word and Idiots were, they hardly prepared me for the furious triple-time flows Michaud unleashes over his and Young Boyz' abrasive, rock-infused production. Nick Bilardello once again handles the official visuals, turning in a clip that's every bit as kinetic as the record that inspired it. Sponsored by IM KING clothing, The Adventures of Trippz Vol. 2 is scheduled to hit our mixtape page next Monday, April 1, for free streaming and digital download.

Staff, cleanliness and breakfast was adequate for us. But the room was very small. I think the most important thing was the location of the hotel. We reached all the critical destinations (trevi, spagna, novano, etc.) by walking. No need for metro or bus.

How does that make sense?
Oh, wait, gee, maybe it might be that persecutions by christians against non-christians has been around for longer than the current members of their family have? You have to realize that they weren't persecuted for like 20 years, then the persecution suddenly stopped, and they still decided to be christians. They were persecuted, their children were persecuted, and their grandchildren were the religion of their children, and their great-grandchildren were the religion of their grandchildren. It's not like they had a choice. It was either become a christian or die. And a lot of people chose to become christians. And then their great grandchildren are religious because it's all they've known their entire life. And their great-grandchildren are religious because it's the only thing they've known all their life. And if they weren't christian, then they'd be persecuted for not being christian.
You should read your history books, christians have been nasty to non-christians for over a thousand years.
Are you going to suddenly one day stop being a christian if you find out the only reason your family is christian is because your ancestors would've been killed if they hadn't converted? Because I'm pretty sure you'd still be christian, and would make up some excuse as to why you'd remain a christian, if you found out the only reason why you're ancestors are christian is because they would've been tortured to death if they hadn't converted. Even though them being tortured to death would've happened say 700 years ago. And that's why people are still christian, even if their ancestors weren't originally christian before they were forced to convert. Because it's all they've known their whole life, and they want to continue living that way, instead of stopping and thinking about it, and considering a different way of life.

I think there is a pretty good argument for the Master System games being separated from the Mega Drive entries. They are completely different games and not simply re-releases like all the other platforms (which are ports of the Mega Drive version).
This would be like listing the 2006 Sonic game on the same page also, because it has the same title.

Working with Simon Field, fresh from exiting the directorship of the Rotterdam Film Festival after many years, Alexander Horwath of the Austrian Film Museum, and British producer Keith Griffiths, Sellars funded a slate of new productions from outside Western cinema. These include works from individuals long admired by critics and festival programmersTaiwan-based Tsai Ming-Liang's I Don't Want to Sleep Alone, Kurdish-Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi's Half Moon, Chadian auteur Mahamet-Saleh Haroun's Daratt, and Thai visionary Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Syndromes and a Centuryand some more unfamiliar names as well: Paz Encina contributed the first feature produced in Paraguay since the 1970s, Paraguayan Hammock; Garin Nugroho created a fusion of traditional Javanese music and dance with cinema for the epic Opera Jawa; and South African director Teboho Mahlatsi fused folk fable and contemporary life for his short Meokgo and the Stickfighter.
Drawing heavily from developing nations, Sellars sought to counter the "truly moronic clash-of-civilizations modelas if Islam and the West have to wipe each other out. I thought we could tell some other stories. We gathered a group whose work collectively points to a 21st century that is not defined by George Bush or Osama bin Laden." But his choices were tactically pragmatic as well. "The reason there's less film from these other parts of the world is that film is really hard to fund in these places. So the question was, where can this money go the farthest and accomplish the most?"
Woven into Sellars's overarching mission are more closely Mozartian themes. The festival is named after the Masonic lodge that Mozart joined late in his truncated life, a period in the composer's career that Sellars used as a conceptual model; he notes that Mozart's final opera, La Clemenza de Tito, is about "truth and reconciliation. I think that was Mozart's last vision. And it is the only way forward in so many parts of the world with ongoing civil war, post-genocidal situations, and nonstop low-intensity conflict." In this vein, Ghobadi's Half Moon tells the story of a band of Kurdish musicians traveling with great difficulty from Iran to Iraq.
Haroun's masterfully restrained desert drama Daratt is perhaps the most direct response to the issue of reconciliation, taking place in a Chad still healing from brutal conflicts. "When Haroun was making that film," Sellars says, "Chad was in the midst of invasion from the south by the Sudanese army and the country was in a state of emergency. Every night you could see the CNN or BBC reporting, and of course the image we're given of these places is one of nonstop crisis. For me it was the question: Do these parts of the world have other stories to tell? And another reason we should be looking? And is it more than just another red blotch on a crisis map?"
Though Opera Jawa makes its local premiere at BAM, the Tsai, Apichatpong, and Haroun films have already seen New York runs. But Rotterdam alum Field notes how the films function as a curatorial whole. "There are all sorts of resonances when people see the films together," he says. "A certain kind of mood across very different kinds of filmmaking." Another continuity, he says, is that the directors' homelands are undergoing "rapid transitions and substantial political changes. They're trying to engage with the language of cinema, to find a language to fit their subjects." Avoiding the typically dry documentary route, the films take on global politics with more nuanced storytelling. "I deliberately invited artists from parts of the world where these are real issues," Sellars says, adding that he's seeking to continue the project in some ongoing future form. "Art has a role to play here, and it's not decorative."

Ombudsman disowns Twitter, Facebook accounts
More News from Dona Z. Pazzibugan
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—The Office of the Ombudsman denied Friday that it has an account in the popular social networking sites Twitter and Facebook.
The account of a certain "Ombudsman Morales," @OmbudsmanPh, bearing a picture of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales appeared in Twitter a few days ago.
The account has been actively posting tweets and replies to Twitter users. It has attracted 84 "followers" as of Friday.
As of 2:20 p.m. Friday, the account had sent 163 tweets.
"Thank You for The Trust and Support with the Office of The Ombudsman in Unrelenting pursuit of Good Governance #ManindiganKontraKatiwalia," says one of the messages.
But the Ombudsman's public information office said it does not have yet an official Facebook or Twitter account.

After announcing that cybersecurity will be one of its 2014 examination priorities, FINRA wasted no time before commencing a sweep. FINRA announced a Targeted Examination Letter to conduct an assessment of firms' approaches to managing cybersecurity threats.
FINRA bases its concern on "the critical role information technology (IT) plays in the securities industry, the increasing threat to firms' IT systems from a variety of sources, and the potential harm to investors, firms, and the financial system as a whole that these threats pose." FINRA's assessment will look into such cybersecurity related areas as:
FINRA hopes that the assessment will help it:
Note that FINRA's goals appear to be exclusively in the realm of "understanding" and "sharing," and not to take formal or informal disciplinary action. In view of the challenges and rapid developments in this area, FINRA's role in gathering and sharing best practices is laudable. Broker-dealers and, indeed, all financial institutions, should pay close attention to FINRA's findings with a view to improving their systems.
But FINRA has already shown a willingness to pursue disciplinary action in this area – see our recent Client Alert – and firms should understand that FINRA could again take action based upon examination findings of deficient cybersecurity procedures. As with any other compliance issues, the time for a firm to evaluate and improve its systems and procedures is now, so that it can demonstrate to examiners its conscientiousness and concern with investor protection.

Luxury Jungle living...true Paradise!!! 460598
Exceptionally Luxurious Villa with Unparalleled Ocean Views and Modern Amenities!!!
Inside and outside are truly two entirely different worlds.
Needless to say, Carlos' villa is the perfect blend of luxury and convenience mixed with privacy and tranquility. We have yet to stay in a place where we enjoyed such peace and serenity yet were only a few minutes drive from everything we needed in town, as well as just an hour drive in every direction if we wanted to see a new town and enjoy a new experience. Whether you are looking to kick back, relax, and never leave the villa, or want to take day trips to montezuma, mal pais, or santa teresa, you won't regret making this your home base.
Every day the howler monkeys stopped by for a visit at least once, a plethora of birds popped in to serenade us, and the friendly neighbourhood armadillo would pop in looking for a drink. The locals around town are friendly and happy, and Carlos is the best host that anyone could ever ask for. If there was ever a problem, he was always just an email or phone call away and had our issue resolved almost immediately.
While we fortunately had the pleasure of enjoying Bellevue Isla Tortuga for a 2 full weeks, we still had to be dragged away kicking and screaming at the end of our vacation. In fact, we loved the area so much we are already planning our next visit!
Whether you are planning a romantic trip to Costa Rica for you and a loved one, are planning a family getaway, or are looking for a place for you and a few friends, we cannot recommend Bellevue Isla Tortuga enough. You won't regret it, we promise.
Ksenija Jermini
The next neigbour is 1 mile away, enjoy absolute privacy! People are very friendly and safety is no issue in that area. Costa Rica itself is lovely, and the villa was a perfect spot. We stayed for eleven days, doing a whole lot of nothing, although there is plenty to do if you want to. The villa is exactly as pictured, the view is just amazing. The cleaning personal stayed at the house when we arrived so we could check first the house and they left when we told them everything was ok for us. Tambor is a 20 minute drive, Montezuma 40 and Santa Teresa/Mal Pais 55 minutes drive. Nature is just.....wow.... you will see more animals from the houese then in the nearby National Parks. You will see for sure white face and howler monkeys, lots of birds, eagle, colibries, coati, butterflies, frogs, lizards and much more. We shopped locally (there are 2 big shops in Paquera), and were able to buy fish that had been caught that day, and
then cooked at home. Call Alexandra and she will bring you frish Oysters, yammi? There are also some great local restaurants, must try Las Vegas. The view from the pool to Isla Tortuga is just wonderfull. The only bad part about the villa is when it is time to leave. You will not want to go! Thanks to Carlos for arranging everything for us, including the very helpfull list with things to do in the area including phone numbers. Will be back next year, for sure!
Unforgettable experience !
The beach is really close and beautiful, you can also spend some time at the hotel nearby and its breathtaking views (Vista Las Islas hotel)
What was really amazing was the true experience of the jungle we lived, waking up with all the animals, seeing the monkeys all day beeing by the swimmingpool, we saw so many birds it was unbelievable, and all this from our house. Actually, each time we went in a national park we were nearly disappointed as we had all the same animals at home !
The view is really amazing and better in real than in picture and seeing isla Tortuga from the pool is unique !
Our son had a great time, we would have loved coming with some friends to share our adventure. The access is tough however you get used to it and I recommend renting Carlos' car as it is really necessary to have a good 4x4 for the whole area.
We had a problem with the pump in the pool and we were delighted that Carlos took care of it straight away. We thank Thomas for the warm welcome and help.
Chantal S. Dudler, firstname.lastname@example.com
My stay at the Villa in Playa Tortuga was absolutely wonderful! If I had to describe Paradise, I'd picture it like that. The Villa is located on top of a hill, a modern, tastefully asiatic/modern furnitured interieur makes you immediately feel like home and the view is absolutely astonishing!
The rooms are very spaceous, the main bed room reminds me of modern Robinson Crusoe with the canopy bed and its white linnen curtains flying in the breeze, the wooden floor, the open windows ... accompanied by the sound of nature.
One could think to be in a remote location which is somehow the case. However, within 10' you reach the next house/hotel, one of the best hospitals is pretty close, grocery shopping and the next bigger village is in 20' reach as well and most of all, one of the best Ceviche Restaurants is a stone's throw away.
Last but not least, the beach is a short walk or drive away where we got picked up for diving. Isla Tortuga is reachable from there in 20'.
If it comes to diving, you have all you need. There are even two wrecks in the area. As a result, I was able to do the Advanced Diver licence there.
I will not forget the evenings sitting outside of the house with the freshly blended Mojitos, the chirring of the crickets outside, the moon and the stars, fresh BBQ, story telling, ...
And next day while you have breakfast, you get a visit from the howler monkeys, sitting in the trees making their way down to the shady area of the rain forest.
An unforgettable holiday!
From the Owner

"Amazing view to famous Isla Tortuga, lots of animals can be seen from the villa....you really do not need to go to see them in one of the wildlife parks....you will see them at home:-) The ample and beautiful beach is separated by a natural mouth. This takes you directly into a swamp located at the left hand of the beach. It is here where the Parque Nacional Curu ends which starts at the other side of the hill. All of this region still doesn't have touristic development but is located in a up and coming area! After booking you will get from our Property Manager an Adventure menu with all kind of tours you can make in the region. Just tell us when and what you like to do and we will make the bookings at no extra cost for you!"

Hi! 1. You can set up this theme by using shortcodes. Also content demo provided. 2. Current version doesn't support "woo commerce". Thanks.
Very pretty, but no actual donation/community functions built in?
Hi! Current version doesn't support donation functions, but next update will. Thanks.
ladydekade it looks like its in the shortcodes area
Is there a demo import or can you offer the service of just starting it off like the demo for easier installation if you like how the demo is set?
Hi! Of course, we provide demo content, also video instructions included. Thanks.
Hi FXoffice,
First, I want to say this is a great design. Please check your email as there is a urgent message awaiting.
Ok. Thanks
i am unable to upload to WP. It tells me it cannot expand. It also tell me: The parent theme is missing. Please install the "giveahand" parent theme.
Can you help me???
Hi! If you use child theme, you should also install parent theme: giveahand_wordpress_theme.zip – parent theme file and giveahand_wordpress_theme_child.zip – child theme file. Thanks.
I am having a lot of trouble uploading the theme? I installed the the parent theme, do I need to install the child theme also? and lastly, where can I locate the demo? I like the demo layout of the site.
I've located the video regarding using the plugin button in visual editor.. That button is not there when I click on visual editor
Re: Give a Hand responsive wordpress theme
Whenever I activate the Give a hand plugin it deactivates my visual editor tool bar. I am able to access the visual editor tool bar as long as the Give a hand plugin is deactivated. Your urgent response is greatly appreciated as I am pushing up against a tight deadline :/

Anyway, I think I freak Ryan out when I remind him this is a gay, guy on guy studio. But, he agrees to try, "I didn't know what to expect." So, I invite you to check out Ryan, new to "this business," and my filming skills with my "new equipment;" you know I'd have to slide that one in. Nick comes in and as the two sit together, I lay out the oral
