Art Basel
7:30 am
Fri December 7, 2012
From The Blogs: Art Basel, Day One
For those of you unable to weather the traffic, costs and crowds at Art Basel this week, fear not. Here at WLRN -- and with the help of local blogs and newspapers -- we have a rundown of what's been happening at Art Basel.
Party Time
Before the actual galleries even open, in true Miami style, much of Art Basel is all about the parties.
If you were stuck in traffic Wednesday night, you can thank the many parties kicking off Art Miami this week.
According to Fred Gonzalez via Miami.com, there was nothing more ubiquitous at Basel parties than champagne.
Everywhere you turn, at every Basel related event or opening, are servers offering you a glass of champagne. If there was an official drink for Art Basel Week, it would be the bubbly.
The Miami Herald pointed out that some of the best parties in town were not all reserved for wealthy members of the art world. In fact, buying membership to a museum would get you in to some great parties -- and then you would have access to the museum for the year following.
Most major art galleries in museums around town hosted some pretty great parties, too.
The Art
Miami.com is updating its Basel blog everyday with some party updates as well as highlights of some of the most interesting art pieces. Among them, a fake Barack Obama head, toy alligators and soldiers, painted pianos and written word projects.
The Herald also has some great explainers about what Art Basel means for Miami's art community and the city:
The business behind the artist: Miami's art gallery scene still evolving
Miami graffiti artist: Art Basel leaves local artists in the cold
Instagram also has a great Art Basel feed full of great sights from the galleries that you can click through.

The six Indian sailors of m.v. Suez, which was seized by Somail pirates, returned home on Friday. They did not have tales of high adventure to recount, but nerve chilling sagas that instilled the dread in them of never seeing their homeland or their families again.
It was untold joy for each one of them as they put foot on motherland and reunited with their anxious family members who spent sleepless nights and moved earth and heaven to get back their beloved ones. "It was all because of our prayers."
The gods sent a benefactor in Pakistani social activist Ansar Burney for securing the release of the all the 22 sailors, including six Indians, from the clutches of the pirates who held them hostage for over 10 months on the high seas at gun point and physically and mentally tormented them.
Thanking their saviour
There were garlands and bouquets for the six sailors; the focus was as much on Mr. Burney. Tiny tots who looked forward to meeting their fathers expressed gratification hold placards thanking Uncle Burney for bringing happiness back into their lives.
No Indian official was in sight at the airport nor was a word said in their praise. The family members of the released hostages said they were actually happy that officials of a "heartless government" were not around.
For the record, India expressed happiness at the release of these sailors and thanked those who contributed to the rescue operation.
"We had lost hope of ever seeing our motherland," said M.K. Sharma, echoing the emotions of his fellow sailors — Prashant Chauhan, Ravinder Singh Gulia, Satnam Singh, Sachin and Biju — who were among the 22 sailors on board the Egypt vessel that the pirates seized on August 2, 2010.
Mr. Burney took the lead and arranged for the $2.1 million ransom and secured the release of all the sailors — 11 belonged to Egypt, six to India, four to Pakistan and one to Sri Lanka.
A rebirth
"It is difficult to be on a ship for over 10 months and we can't believe we are free. It was a case of life and death," said Ravinder Singh, while Mr. Sharma regarded it as a rebirth.
Mr. Biju said they were under constant threat: "They will come and say 'we will kill you tomorrow'. But we never knew why they held such a threat."
It was the most horrifying experience of my life, said Prashant Chauhan, it was a challenge to survive each moment. I'm glad to have survived said the now comforted Prashant, who would not comment on whether he would return to the sea again. His family members, however, made it clear that they would like to just keep him back.
Each narrated how he was kept in darkness without proper food and water and ill-treated by the gun-toting sea bandits. The captives were not allowed to contact their family members during the first three months; only when the Egyptian owner of the ship failed to take proper action for their release did they approach the Indian government.
But that too failed to ensure their freedom. It was then that their family members rallied together and launched a campaign, basically spearheaded by Ravinder Singh's wife Sampa. They alleged the Prime Minister too did not display any seriousness to their problem.
Ms. Sampa declared that this was not the end of their struggle. "We will now continue to fight to ensure that the other 52 sailors held captive are brought back safe and sound to India.
Each family member thanked Mr. Burney. Amar Chauhan, father of Prashant Chauhan, resolved to invite him to India and arrange a get-together to jointly thank the friend in need

Schools closed in Patna, Muzaffarpur and Samastipur districts
PATNA: Heavy rains led to the collapse of a number of houses, schools and government offices in Bihar resulting in the death of at least two children. It also crippled train services on the vital Mokama-Patna section on Thursday.
The track near Mokama sunk affecting the Delhi-Howrah link via Patna. Many trains have been cancelled, several others diverted and still others running late. Repair works are under way to restore services on this crucial route.

I studied drums at the Drummers Collective in New York City, where i studied several genres of music. I play everything from rock, jazz, soul, R&B, Caribbean, and Latin music. If a student is interested in a certain style of music i would be happy to dive into that further, or explore other genres that may peek interest.

The most challenging moment in Cruz Bay for us was getting off the Customs dock with ferry traffic and several excursion boats circling as they awaited our departure. The Customs folks had shoehorned us in to the point of our bow overhanging the transom of the boat ahead of us and our transom nearly touching the bow of the excursion boat that came in right after us. If we didn't have a bow thruster on the IP 420, I would have deployed the dinghy as a tow boat to pull the bow off the dock! Once off the dock, we had to make a sharp U-turn and thread our way through the heavy traffic--several excursion catamarans-- but that was the easy part, once we had way on. For some reason, we had arrived at the beginning of rush hour. Had we arrived 15 minutes later, we never would have been able to tie up at the customs dock. To OvO's comment, I'd say the issue is BOTH docking and traffic, unless you come in at a quiet time.
I've been sailing in the USVI / BVI since 1978, yet despite all that experience, your description above reinforces my perception that taking a bareboat into Cruz Bay is not a good idea.
It would be easier to sail to JVD, check-in and get water in Great Harbor. Now I just need to decide if it's worth the extra cost to charter the 440 (more space for family of 5, more water, two heads). With either IYC boat it will be a good experience, of that I'm certain.

Refuge Ridge is truly a refuge for both the animals that live there and the children that go to the adventure based camps there. Many of the children come from circumstances including domestic violence and drug abuse in the homes. At the camps they learn about team work and making good decisions. Their work with some of the animal rescues provides humane education aimed at breaking generational cycles of both animal and child abuse. I cannot recommend this organziationally highly enough. Through the generosity of the Sherman's next May there will be a wonderful new learning center for much of the activity to take place in. Please visit their refugeridge.org web site. Truly an awesome place.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
working with both the children and the animals and getting to know the director of both the ridge and camps vert well.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would give them more resources and volunteers if it were within my ability. Situated in the middle of appalachia and in the 4th poorest county there is not nearly enough support for all that they do.

Agriculture official named by Benhur Luy back on the job
More News from Gil Cabacungan
MANILA, Philippines—Ophelia Agawin, identified by whistle-blower Benhur Luy as alleged P10-billion pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles' conduit in the Department of Agriculture (DA) under the Arroyo and Aquino administrations, is back at her job as assistant secretary at the DA despite lingering questions on her role in the scam.
Agawin, the public accountant also at the heart of an alleged P432-million fertilizer fund scam engineered by then Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn "Joc-joc" Bolante in 2003, went on leave last October to give way to the DA's investigation into the department funds she channeled to bogus nongovernment organizations (NGOs) allegedly controlled by Napoles.
Agawin claimed, however, that she went on leave to take care of a sick parent.
Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said Agawin could not be suspended for her alleged ties to Napoles since she has not been named in the two sets of charges filed by the Department of Justice and National Bureau of Investigation with the Ombudsman in the pork scam case.
Plunder charges
Both Agawin and Alcala, however, have been charged with plunder in a case filed by the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas.
Agawin was a treasurer and director of ZNAC Rubber Estate Corp. (ZREC) from 2006 to 2010. Based on a Commission on Audit (COA) report, ZREC was used as a conduit for the release of P282-million in pork barrel funds of Senators Jinggoy Estrada, Juan Ponce Enrile and Ramon Revilla Jr. and former APEC party-list Rep. Edgar Valdez and former Buhay party-list Rep. Rene Velarde.
In his September 2013 affidavit to the NBI, Luy said that Agawin received 10 percent in commissions from the pork barrel funds that went through ZREC.
Agriculture Assistant Secretary Salvador Salacup, who was ZREC president from 2006 to 2010, was the only ZREC official named in the pork barrel scam case.
Salacup, who has been on leave since October, has filed a counter-affidavit with the Ombudsman claiming that he had no contact or ties with Napoles as Luy and other whistle-blowers had only mentioned Agawin as Napoles' broker in ZREC.
Salacup also said his role in the transactions were only "ministerial" as the pork funds were pushed for by former Agriculture Undersecretary Berni C. Fondevilla and former Assistant Secretary Eduardo Nolasco.
Dealings continued
Despite the alarm raised by the COA on ZREC's failure to liquidate the Priority Development Assistance Funds (PDAF) during her watch, Agawin apparently continued her business dealings with Napoles, as reported by Luy.
In November 2012, Agawin took charge of the paper work for Alcala's order reprogramming P174.381 million in idle funds (from 2011 to 2012) from the Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Product Standards to the organic agriculture-related projects of local government units.
The funds were to be disposed of by Alcala's province mate and Agawin's boss, Undersecretary Antonio Fleta, who signed most of the agreements with the NGOs. Alcala said his department would release its audit of the funds soon.
In Luy's testimony, he claimed that these organic farming projects were among the last transactions he concluded with Agawin before he and Napoles had a falling out. Napoles held Luy in detention because she suspected him of making the same deals with other operators.
During this period, Agawin was also in charge of vetting the NGOs accredited by the DA for its fund releases, which was the reason Napoles' NGOs were able to obtain government funds in the Aquino administration.

Cincinnati Post
The Reds had two runs in and the bases loaded in the top of the sixth, the deficit cut to 3-2, when Milton's spot in the batting order came up. Manager Jerry Narron didn't think about sending up a pinch-hitter, because he already had predicted the exact situation he found himself in.
"I told Bucky (Dent, the bench coach) before the inning started, 'This inning right here, Miltie's going to come up with a 3-2 game and the bases loaded and two outs and I'm going to let him hit,'" said Narron. "As well as he's pitching, we've got a lot of game left, we've got our lineup coming up at least once, probably more, and I have a lot of confidence in our other guys."
Looking back now, I can see his reasoning. I may not totally agree with it, and it ultimately didn't cost them the game, but at least there's an explanation to why he was thinking the way he was thinking.

Great stuff daniel! Its good that your doing more observation work, it will really help. You should try get yourself into some life drawing classes! Also with painting, if you finding it hard- do some monochrome observational work to start with. Main thing is keep working hard, good luck with your exams.
October 26th, 2006 #35
Awesome Daniel! Your pencils are getting so much better with each new update, and each time I have more catching up to do. Sorry bout the oC not working out, should try some other time...
Can't wait for the digis either - curious to see what you've been up to.

Goblinshark: hey ! Thanks! Actually i use just a normal mech. pencil for the first lines then start with a normal wooden hb. I mostly get impatient after an hour at doing a single pic, so i hardly ever spend more time on them. =)
Jabo: glad you like it =)
Spade: Thanks alot for the advice. I'm concentrating more on monochrome works now.
D: thanks alot man! Don't worry about the oc thing, we'll try again someday
Asgardian: hi ! The nickname kind of annoyed me after awhile and i decided to make another one...that's all =)
thanks, i'll try.
...Man, it's been awhile since my last post. I hate school, it's taking more and more time...
here's a color study i did a few days ago, an oc session i did with a friend (i did the two figures on the left) and some poop =)

uff, glad I'm done with school. Scho-ools out for SUMMA! Scho-ools out for EVA! Know that song? Alice Cooper, classic.
Great updates Daniel, lots of improvement! With the skin, try out some more saturated and darker colours. In the self portrait thread, davi (1st) and Dutton's works are great to study for this. the only other thing (dunno if it has been mentioned) work with as big brushes possible. rather put value down with a big brush and take it away with another big brush than do it with a smaller brush. you should check out zhuzhu's 50 heads wpe's - helped me a lot in that regard!
Other than there is nothing for me to crit here really - awesome work man, keep posting!

Your pencil studies are simply amazing, i love them, they are so soft and lush.

Keep it coming.

I just got Hogarth's books. They look awesome =)
Sorry for the bad scans, but i don't have time to clean anything atm.

very nice stuff, again.I really love all your Caravaggio studies.Very nice Hogart sketches too, they'll help you a lot, althrough your anatomy skills are already good.
Great stuff

We gotta do that oc thing again, really nice stuff. Pencils are so hot. Peace
November 5th, 2006 #46
Yo Daniel!
Hogarth is the bomb hey? Also got two of his book - Dynamic Anatomy and Dynamic Figure Drawing. Once I finish off this module (this week) I'm going to start studying them intensely. Maybe we could do some joint study group or something, dunno.
Awesome updates man, your pencils are really progressing awesomely. Your linework is topnotch, no crits there. Your shading is also great but I think it needs that little oomf to take it to the next level. If you are using pencil, you should use it according to how sharp it is maybe. Meaning, I always try to shade some parts or block in values before I sharpen it again. Right now it looks like you are shading with a sharp pencil... just a thought though.
ciao mate, keep churning out the awesomeness?

TheGnoll: thanks, i'm just trying another approach around anatomy. Loomis wasn't the most adapted for me. I'm still not very confident about the things i learned from him.
Marco: hehe, sure, just tell me when you can =)
Hey Brendan! Yeah, i like how Hogarth shows exaggerated shapes. About the joint study group well sure... but i think i should know what it is first
I see what you mean about the shading part. I often jump to quickly to the final value of the area, which just brakes the overall picture. I'll keep that in mind, thanks a lot!!
Cup: hey ! Hogarth is like Loomis of Bridgman, just an artist that made books about learning anatomy. Looks for them on amazon, they're really helpful.
So, just too quick things for today. Nothing interesting or good, just farting around.
Don't other about the poopy second page, i did during my the morning break right in the middle of people shouting and screaming :/

Great work with the studies Dan. With the quality of your recent sketches I can't wait to see something finished!

Actually like those sketches - they feel a bit looser than usual. Love the face on the right of that second page - it has a lot of personality in it! Can already start making out the rest of the face! 5 stars again (new user hehe )!

Dude, I seriously dig your pencil work. It really is nice and fluid and your shading is great also. I see your breaking in your tablet as well. Keep at it and maybe try to do a more finished piece on there.

Important Travel Information
The Gunnison Valley is rural and beautiful, but it is also a resort and recreational hub with a full-service commercial airport only a mile from Western's campus. This summer the airport offers jet service from Denver and Houston.
That's the good news.
The challenge is that flights are frequently expensive. As a result, we encourage you to book travel early.
Another option for travelers: we will be running shuttle vans from Denver, Grand Junction and Montrose, which have larger airports and significantly lower fares. Denver is about a four-hour drive one-way; Grand Junction is about three hours; Montrose (on the way to Grand Junction) is about one hour. We encourage you to shop around. Please remember that the welcome reception begins at 5:30 on Wednesday, July 22. We will be running shuttles from all airports that arrive in time for that event, along with shuttles that depart later in the day. Again, please book early.
All information about shuttle rides, including times and fares, is on the registration page.

Data On Investigational Drug TMC207 for Treatment of MDR-Tuberculosis, Published in New England Journal of Medicine
Clinical Activity Of TMC207 shows ATP-Synthase is a Viable Target for treatment of TB
"The results of this study are highly encouraging news for the treatment of tuberculosis," said
Treatment of TB is protracted and burdensome. MDR-TB is currently responsible for an estimated 490,000 incident cases of TB and 110,000 fatalities worldwide each year(1). MDR-TB requires extended treatment for at least 18 months with second-line drugs that are less effective and associated with more side effects than first line regimens(2). This underscores the need for effective drugs with the potential to shorten and improve MDR-TB treatment outcomes.
TMC207 is being investigated as part of a combination therapy for the treatment of MDR-TB. The results reported are from the first stage of a two-stage Phase II randomized placebo-controlled trial. Forty-seven hospitalized patients with newly diagnosed multidrug-resistant pulmonary TB were randomized to receive TMC207 (400 mg daily for 2 weeks, followed by 200 mg three-times weekly for 6 weeks) (n=23) or placebo (n=24) in combination with a standardized 5-drug background second-line antituberculosis regimen. Six subjects (3 in each treatment group), discontinued the study prematurely. This first stage was conducted in
The results of bacterial culture of sputum showed more patients were TB culture-negative at 8 weeks in the TMC207 group, 47.6% versus 8.7% in the placebo group. In addition TMC207 reduced the time to culture conversion. The probability of becoming culture negative on any given day within the 8-week treatment period was 11.8 times higher in the TMC207 group, versus in the background regimen alone hazards ratio (95% CI): 11.8 (2.26, 61.3); p=0.003 by Cox regression analysis. Mean sputum colony-forming units (CFU) count declined more rapidly in the TMC207 than in the placebo group. Most adverse events were mild to moderate and only nausea occurred more frequently with TMC207 than with placebo (26% vs. 4 %). One subject in each treatment group experienced a serious adverse event, neither of which was considered to be related to the study medication. The data obtained validate ATP synthase as a viable target for the treatment of TB.
"The nearly half a million estimated new cases of MDR-TB annually highlights the urgent need for a paradigm shift in the way this disease is being tackled," said
TMC207 is a diarylquinoline that offers a novel mechanism of action by specifically inhibiting mycobacterial ATP-synthase(3), responsible for the cell's energy production. In vitro, TMC207 potently inhibits both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant M. tuberculosis isolates and is bactericidal against both actively replicating tubercle bacilli and non-replicating bacilli(4). The safety and efficacy of TMC207 are being further evaluated in ongoing and future trials.
The second stage of the study, which will evaluate efficacy following 24 weeks of treatment, is currently ongoing with active recruitment in

Citizen Science Organization Offers Access to Scientific Literature
For the first time, amateur and citizen scientists can access scientific literature once available only to academic and professional scientists.
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) January 23, 2013
The international Citizen Scientists League (CSL) announced today it is providing unprecedented access to thousands of professional scientific journals for its members.
According to CSL director and co-founder Dr. Sheldon Greaves, only scientists with corporate or university affiliation typically have access to scientific journals and databases. Expensive paywalls and prohibitive subscription fees shut out independent researchers and science hobbyists who want to read the latest scientific research, Greaves said.
"Subscriptions to professional scientific journals or databases can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year," Greaves said, "and downloading individual papers can cost in excess of $30 or $40."
Now, working with EBSCO publishing, Greaves reports CSL members can access nearly 7,800 peer-reviewed, full-text scientific journals, additional periodicals, reports, and other documents, plus indexes for many other journals with no limits on searches or downloads. A one-year membership in the Citizen Scientists League costs $60.
"Amateur scientists have been left out of the conversation for far too long," notes Greaves. "Many amateurs do outstanding work that deserves to be part of the professional dialogue," he said, "but until they can access the professional literature that isn´t going to happen." Greaves also points out that much of the scientific research in professional journals was funded directly or indirectly by taxpayer dollars, and "citizens should be able to read the results of research they help support."
The Citizen Scientists League (citizenscientistsleague.com) was founded in 2010 primarily to support science conducted by people working outside professional or academic communities. In addition to Dr. Greaves, other co-founders are Dr. Fritz Faulhaber, President and CEO of Micromo, and Forrest M. Mims III, one of America´s foremost amateur scientists.

Can We Go Back is a song recorded by Kelly Clarkson during the sessions for her 2009 album, All I Ever Wanted. It appeared as a iTunes Store pre-order song for the deluxe version of the album, as well as a bonus track on the Japanese deluxe version of the album. It was then later recorded in Japanese by singer Kumi Koda in 2009 with differing lyrics.
Japonesque (stylized as JAPONESQUE) is the tenth studio album by Koda Kumi. The album was released on January 25, 2012.
Trick is the seventh studio album released by J-Urban singer Koda Kumi. It was released on January 28, 2009, available in CD and CD+2DVD format. The CD contains ten previously unreleased songs as well as the CD singles Moon Crying, That Ain't Cool, Taboo, and Stay with Me. The first DVD contains the music videos for "Moon Crying", "That Ain't Cool", "Taboo", "Stay with Me", "Show Girl", and "Just the Way You Are". The second DVD contains concert footage from "Dirty Ballroom: One Night Only," recorded on October 23, 2008.
"Come with Me" (stylized as "COME WITH ME") was Kumi Koda's eighth domestic solo single. The title song was used in a television commercial for Choya Umeshu's "Ume jelly". The English versions of "Real Emotion" and "1000 no Kotoba" found on this single are not the ones that were included in the English release of the Final Fantasy X-2 video game; the versions found in the game were sung by Jade Villalon from the group Sweetbox.
Dejavu is the ninth studio album by Kumi Koda. The album was released in two editions, CD only and CD + 2DVD First Press Limited Edition. After CD + 2DVD is sold out, only CD + DVD will be available.
Kingdom is the sixth studio album by Kumi Koda; it was released on January 30, 2008. The album debuted at number one on the Oricon Weekly Chart with sales of 421,302.
Candy is the 7th of the 12 singles released in 12 weeks by Koda Kumi. The music video is also the prelude to the other videos in the story-line arc (you, Lies, feel and Someday/Boys♥Girls).
Feel My Mind is the third studio album released by Japanese pop singer Koda Kumi, released on February 2004.
Black Cherry is Kumi Koda's 5th studio album. Much like the two best collections before it, this album came in three editions; a CD only, a CD+DVD and a CD+2DVD version. The first DVD included all but one of Koda's post: second session solo PVs (Futari de…) and the second DVD featured a drama called Cherry Girl, which starred Koda in her first acting role as a main character. This drama was produced by the team who created the drama Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru (the drama for which Koi no Tsubomi was the themesong for). On top of all this, the first press versions of these albums featured three bonus tracks: "Twinkle" (from the "Amazing Nuts!" single), "GO WAY!!" (the theme song for the 2006 Crayon Shin-chan anime movie) and "Won't Be Long: Cherry Version" (a different version of the collaboration single "Won't Be Long" Kumi performed with Exile). The first press versions also included an access code to a special Koda website, the chance to win original Koda "Black Cherry" goods (only if purchased alongside the Cherry Girl / Unmei single) and a bonus making feature on the PV DVD. 'Milk Tea' (Track 14) was Koda's first composition that was released on a CD. The "Introduction" track was produced into a full length song and included as a bonus track on Koda's "Kingdom" album.
"4 Times" (stylized as "4 TIMES") is the 50th single by J-pop singer Koda Kumi. It was released on August 17, 2011. The single's idea to have four a-sides was in commemoration due to it being the artist's 50th Single. Therefore, it became her first single to have four a-sides since her 2006 single 4 hot wave.
"Kamen" (stylized as "KAMEN) is the tenth single of Koda Kumi's 12 single releases. It is limited to 50,000 copies. The song features the Japanese band Kome Kome Club's frontman Tatsuya Ishii (石井竜也, Ishii Tatsuya). The song debuted at #3 in the Oricon Daily Singles 50 chart on February 8, 2006.
Secret is the fourth studio album released by J-pop singer Kumi Koda, released in February, 2005. The album was released in four different formats: the regular CD and CD+DVD editions, plus three special editions: "Secret Special Edition" (with the video of "Hot Stuff" feat. KM-Markit" included on the DVD, which wasn't included before), "Secret Special Edition for Live" (both of them CD+DVD, one edition comes with a T-shirt, the other with a tank-top). These editions were released on April 13, 2005.
"Ai o Tomenaide" is the 51st single by J-pop singer Koda Kumi. It was released on September 21, 2011. This was released in three different versions: a CD only edition, a CD only movie edition, and a CD+DVD edition that comes with a DVD of the music videos of the title song and the B-side "You Are Not Alone". The last edition comes with newly arranged versions of her previously released song "Anata Dake ga". The title song is used as the theme song for the movie Second Virgin. The drama version previously featured "Anata Dake ga" as its theme song. "You Are Not Alone" is said to be the national theme or hymn representing hope and a way for Kumi to reach out to her fans and anyone else due to the earthquakes that struck Japan in early 2011.
Grow into One is the second studio album released by Japanese pop singer Koda Kumi, released on March, 2003. This album contains one of her best-selling singles, "Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba." Combined with the singles, the album sold over half a million copies in Japan.
Hotel (stylized as HOTEL) is the fifty-seventh single by Japanese artist Kumi Koda. It was her first single release since 2013's Dreaming Now!. The A-side's music video was heavily inspired by Koda Kumi's time in Dubai.
Fever: Legend Live (stylized as FEVER: LEGEND LIVE) is the special mini-album by Japanese artist Kumi Koda. The special album was released as a promotional campaign for Sankyo's pachinko game, FEVER LEGEND, which is Koda Kumi's fourth installment (priors were Fever Live In Hall, Fever Live In Hall II and Love Romance).

Great, if you like the exercise!
There is a completely different 'feel' up at my home. Usually there is a nice breeze, which keeps the mosquitoes away. And the views, as stated in most all of the reviews, is spectacular!
Keywords: Private home with beautiful infinity edge pool
I 'discovered' Costa Rica in 2001 and immediately fell in love with all its beauty and diversity. As a home builder in the Northeast, I found it very difficult to build in the winter months. My friend just returned from CR and told me all about how beautiful it was, how friendly the people were and that you could buy property there as a foreigner. On my first trip there, I had no intention on buying a home, but rather to find a lot and build a home, until I found Casa Prieta! I stood in the backyard, overlooking the ocean and islands below the home and quickly changed my mind. This is what I've been looking for all my life. I decided to buy the home and rent it to others to enjoy too. It gives me great pleasure to be able to share such a place and hear what others have to say in my guest books at the home. I hope to share it with you too!
Rick Festa purchased this villa in 2002
Guanacaste is the driest, sunniest part of Costa Rica. There is usually a slight breeze, so no bugs! And of course, you get to see glorious sunsets over the ocean, 365 days a year!!
It's the VIEW, VIEW, VIEW!!!!!! The ever-changing vista is what I like most about my home. You can stay on the beach, but at night, all you see is darkness. At my home, during the day, you see gorgeous views of the ocean, islands, surf, mountains and valleys. At night, you see all the lights below the home. Breathtaking!!
My husband and I just had the best vacation ever! Thank you Rick for sharing your beautiful paradise villa with us.
The views, the sounds, the exclusion all was magical! I heard you are coming right after us. Have great vacation....many, many thanks! :)
We met friends from Ohio for 9 days in Costa Rica and Casa Prieta was amazing! It was spacious and comfortable. It had everything we needed and more. The owner, Rick has really thought of everything. If you ever plan a trip to Costa Rica, THIS is where you want to stay. The view from our house was nothing short of spectacular. Beautiful grounds and trees and flowers. An infinity pool. Birds all around. A 500 ft drop to the Pacific Ocean below us, that made it possible to hear the Ocean at all times. Early sunrise over the mountains behind our house brought out the Howler Monkeys that I heard for the first time. WOW they sound freaky and huge. But, as I learned later in the trip, they are not huge or freaky...they just sound that way. :) The sunsets at our house took my breath away. I've seen a few that were amazing , but this? The sky went from shades of Blue and Yellow, to bright Oranges mixed with a golden ball sitting low in the sky. Until finally, it would turn deep orange and reds and look as though the sky had been set on fire, and then just seem to slip into the ocean.....it really did make me cry it was so amazing. I watched the sun set every night and I was never disappointed. Our housekeeper, Francis was so sweet and did such a wonderful job. I felt like the house was "new again" after she left each time. Every morning I had coffee on the deck while a bird visited me for bread crumbs. Every day we sunned poolside and had fresh fruit blended drinks. And at night after whatever the day had brought, we seemed to naturally end up back at our house early for either swimming or just sitting under that huge sky. It really was perfect...This vacation exceeded every expectation I had, and blew my preconceived notions of Central America out of the water. There are mountains and Volcanoes all around. The monkeys and geckos make cool sounds that I've never heard before. The food tastes better there. The Pacific Ocean is amazing, loud and powerful. The Flowers, even in the dry season are lovely, And the people are gorgeous and kind. Costa Rica is the most beautiful place I have ever seen with my own eyes.
I think I'm in love....
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Pura Vida.
Tracey and Will Smith
The house was gorgeous. Very clean and well kept - great location in terms of views of the ocean and PERFECT for sunset! Although the road leading up to the house is very difficult to drive (it is gravel and VERY steep!) it was still easy access to 3 of the beaches: Playa Prieta, Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal...make sure to visit all of them. They are great! Also, the location of the house is fairly close to resort areas which made setting up our zip line/ATV tour very easy. Going out at night was difficult as the property is very secluded and cabs do you not come to pick you up. However, we did walk the hill one night - painful on our calves, but worth it to go out and salsa @ Las Brisas! Wednesday night is ladies night there!
Overall we had a really nice time and the house was such a nice-to-have. A comfortable bed, lovely kitchen, amazing views and great pool! We loved it.
We just returned from a 6-night stay in this beautiful home. The views are every bit as glorious as the pictures indicate. We found the location to be convenient with many beaches nearby, as well as horseback riding just down the hill at Bomar Stables (thanks to Marvin and Jose!), and a zip line canopy tour an adventurous drive down the Monkey Trail.
Thanks Rick!!
Saludo de Tejas Enrique. ¡El casa Prierta es solamente Pura Vida!Rick, coming back to Costa Rica after a 16 year absence could not have gone better for our recent family vacation6/25-7/2. 1990 was the last time I was in CR when I ran Golfito Sailfish Rancho and I was anxious for my return to live up to my memories. Your wonderful home and the Northern region surpassed our expectations.Our stay in your home was Pura Vida as we drank fresh pina coladas and Imperial beer while sitting in the pool as the sunsets that cannot be matched slowly brought the wonderful beach going, snorkeling, canopy tour, volcano, waterfall, critter chasing filled days to an end.Gracias and of course PURA VIDA - - - Pablo
Hi Rick,
Thank you for allowing us to rent your house in Feb.We had a great time in Costa Rica.The people there are the nicest we've met anywhere.Traveling around was slow because of the road conditions in places but we didn't have to go far to enjoy the beautiful beaches in the area.We left the house a couple of days early so we could check out the Arenal area.The area was worth the trip.We are already talking about a return trip next winter to cover more of the Country which would include possibly a week at your house if available.Thanks again.
Matt & Barb
We just returned from our first ever trip to Costa Rica and the beautiful Casa Prieta. This house has the most beautiful view we have ever seen in all our travels. The location was close to great beaches and was within 15-30 mins driving time to Playa Grande, a super surfing beach. The house was outfitted comfortably and the AC worked very well when we needed it.The sunsets at Casa Prieta are truly breathtaking. We had a Costa Rican driver the whole time we were there and he told us that of all the people he had driven, he had never seen such a beautiful view. We were there during the "rainy season" but had only one day without sunshine. The thunderstorms from the house were like watching our own fireworks display. Thanks, Rick, for sharing this wonderful home. We can't wait to go back!
Canopy tours (zip lines), Sunset Cruises, Massages, Private chef.
