Cool location and sufficient amenities. The host helped make my stay as comfortable as possible.
I had such an amazing experience at Danyasa. The people in Dominical were very friendly, the space was beautiful, safe, and comfortable. My room was so comfortable, clean and made me feel at peace. The kitchen, the hammock, and the yoga studio were my favorite parts. As most people would feel visiting Costa Rica, I could've just lived there forever. As a woman traveling alone, I felt welcomed and overjoyed to meet so many amazing people traveling and doing the same thing I was. I will be back to Danyasa without a doubt. Much love!
Great place right in the middle of the small town of Dominical. Check-in was easy and the room was perfect for my needs. The AC was a plus too.
I didn't utilize the common space but was impressed with the kitchen when being given the tour of the property. Would definitely be back next time I am in Dominical!
Danyasa is a great place, in the center of everything and perfect if you are looking to do some yoga there. Beautiful yoga studio. The room was clean and tidy and the air con is a big plus. The only problem that I have during my stay is the noise as they are building more rooms at the moment and it get really noisy all day. Hopefully this will be over soon and the place will be perfect.
What a cool little town and peaceful little place Brendan has. It smells amazing and so did my room. I was only going to stay one night but I decided to stay another which may turn into three. Needless to say, I like it!
Danyasa is an amazing creation of Brendan and Sofie Thom. They truly represent their way of life in the thought that went into this "community". It is a place for reflection and empowerment.
They did a great job welcoming me and showing me all of the details of my stay.
This host has 35 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

A Huge Challenge
There is no way around it: Tina Samara knows her West Virginia University women's tennis program is in for a huge challenge competing in the Big 12 Conference this year.
Last season, the Big 12 had six schools in the final ITA rankings, including three – Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech - in the Top 25. By comparison, the Big East had three ITA-ranked teams and only one, Notre Dame, ranked among the Top 25.
Also, the Big East does not have a round-robin scheduling format in women's tennis, instead utilizing a selection committee to pick the conference postseason tournament field each spring – a tournament WVU failed to qualify for this year after making it in 2011.
"We didn't deserve to go," said Samara, now in her second season with the Mountaineers.
Samara is rebuilding West Virginia's program from the ground up, and the allure of playing some of the best players in college tennis in the Big 12 will certainly help the process.
"The key with our team and our incoming kids is this is what you should want. If you're competitive and playing Division I tennis, you want to play the best teams and this is a great opportunity for them," she said. "We didn't plan this - I didn't recruit kids telling them that we would be in the Big 12 because I didn't know it was going to happen - but from my perspective it's a huge upgrade."
Samara said there are many differences between the two leagues on and off the tennis court.
"In the Big East there were some good teams at the top with Notre Dame and South Florida … and Syracuse was up there for a while, but the way it was run was so different and coming from the SEC, the Big 12 is real tennis to me," she said. "They mandate things like having a chair umpire at every court. In the Big East they mandated two umpires."
Another big change is the climate. The vast majority of the Big 12 matches are played outdoors while West Virginia has only managed to play one outdoor match during Samara's two seasons here.
"We are indoors every day and then we go out and play in 85 degree weather in Texas … that's going to be an obstacle, but my answer to that is Michigan has figured it out. Virginia has figured it out, so that's not a really good excuse," she said. "There are schools in this climate that are doing really well regardless. It is something you have to take as a challenge and say, 'OK, this is not what I get to train in every day but this is what we have to do.' We can also use our home schedule to say, 'Hey, we have an edge when that school comes and plays us.' We're indoors and we're used to the courts so it works both ways."
Taking on some of the best programs in college tennis will certainly be a challenge and Samara has added to that challenge by continuing to schedule other top regional programs as well. She estimates that as many as 15 ITA-ranked teams could be on next year's spring slate.
"We're going to be the underdogs, but when I was at Georgia (the Bulldogs won national championship in 1994) we were too. It's all about how you approach it with your mindset," she explained. "Outside of our Big 12 schedule we're playing Ohio State at home our first match; Marshall at home, Syracuse away, William & Mary away, Penn State away, Virginia Commonwealth, Virginia Tech at home and then the whole Big 12 schedule, and that was on purpose."
Because the Mountaineer program has been struggling of late, Samara admits there are plenty of opportunities for good kids to play at the top of the lineup here right away in the Big 12. That is something she is selling to recruits.
"If I'm recruiting a kid that Texas is recruiting, they are going to play five at Texas and they are going to play two here," she noted. "Tennis is such a unique sport outside of maybe golf and a few others where you can reach the NCAA tournament as an individual. Where you play in the lineup has a big impact on whether or not you are going to make the tournament as a singles player or a doubles player.
"If you're playing five that's great, but your odds of playing in the NCAA tournament are almost zero, even if you do really well."
Samara said she is beginning to notice more interest in her program after the announcement was made last fall that West Virginia would become the 10th member of the Big 12 this July.
"I'm getting some more interesting emails that maybe normally we wouldn't be getting, especially from kids from Texas and a little more from the West," she said. "For us, we're building the way a lot of programs are building by trying to get some international kids in. We have a kid coming in from Michigan who just beat a girl who is going to Michigan. Michigan is (top 15) so I feel really good about her."
Samara said the way she is going to have to build West Virginia's program is through player development - something she was known for during her prior stops at Louisiana-Lafayette and Colorado.
"That's where we are really good. A lot of programs do well and aren't getting much development because the kids are at a level where their kids are kind of coached and they stay in the top 30 every year," she said. "If we get the right kids, and we can develop them, then we can do a whole lot because I think that's what our strength is. It's just a matter of getting that right kid that maybe isn't quite good enough for the top schools in the Big 12 and then we develop them."
Overall, Samara is encouraged by the players coming into the program this year.
"I tell kids, 'Hey if you come here you are going to have 15 opportunities to play someone in the top 40.' It's going to be a very tough schedule, but I also think programs can turn around fairly quickly with the right kids and then getting the other kids on board," she said.
"I think we have the talent," she added. "We're a little bit young, but not quite as young as you think. We brought in a kid from Louisiana (Audrey Wooland) where I was before and she is going to be a senior. Lea (Jansen) redshirted this year, but she's back and she's played two years in the Pac 12 (at Washington State). They might be new faces but they are not young. Emily (Mathis) is a senior and she always competes hard. Hailey (Barrett) is a freshman, but she's obviously playing at a high level beating someone going to Michigan.
"I do think we have a group of kids who can maybe surprise some people."

Dr. Steven Goldberg created DentalVibe to take the pain out of getting a needle injection in the dentist's office. DentalVibe
The UpTake: Technology entrepreneurs don't always hang out in Silicon Valley or Silicon Alley. A Florida dentist with a desire to take the pain out of the dental experience came up with a gadget that works through the use of vibrations.
When someone is about to have their mouth numbed in the dentist's chair with a needle dispensing an anesthetic, the reaction is almost always the same.
"Everyone grabs onto the arms of the chair, and you close your eyes and it pinches," says Dr. Steven Goldberg, a dentist and entrepreneur based in Boca Raton, Florida . "No one can tell me that a shot in the mouth doesn't hurt. It's the pressure that you feel as the solution with the anesthetic goes in."
He estimates there are about 50 million Americans who refuse to go to the dentist because they're afraid of pain. Dental researchers, acknowledging the problem, have written numerous studies on "dental phobia," and the anxiety that so many experience when they contemplate a trip to the dentist.
"That's the worst part of dentistry," Goldberg said.
Rather than watch patients wince though another session with him, though, Goldberg decided to do something about it. He became an entrepreneur, and invented something to take the pain of needle injections away: a patented and award-winning device, DentalVibe, that is now used in several thousand dentist offices across the United States, including every state, and in 25 countries.
Here's how he did it:
The prototype: In practice for 25 years, Goldberg has spent the last decade conducting research to try to figure out an alternative to using just a needle. Initially, he would just try to distract patients by shaking their lips a little when doing the injection, and it dawned on him that a gadget that could accomplish this vibration would work even better.
Based on the "Gate Control Theory of Pain," which states that vibrations travel much faster to the brain than the feeling of pain, his research led to the creation of DentalVibe. It is cordless and rechargeable, a hand held device that delivers pulsed, percussive micro-oscillations, to "shake up" the site where an injection is being given, distracting a patient from feeling pain.
After he used his early prototype on patients, the typical response afterwards was, "Did you really give me a shot?" Goldberg says. That's when he knew that he needed to manufacture the gadget more widely.
Funding: Dentistry often requires a creative approach, since everyone's teeth have their own unique set of issues, but being a dentist isn't typically an entrepreneurial pursuit. Nonetheless, Goldberg launched DentaVibe about two and a half years ago, funding it himself after his family agreed to some sacrifices.
"In the beginning, it was all me [bootstrapping the business]. We got rid of cars, got rid of the house," Goldberg said. "It was worth it to me, because I feel like I'm making a change to the dental profession, and making a change to the way people perceive pain."
To grow the company, which now includes 20 staffers in Boca Raton, including a general manager who runs day-to-day operations and a director of sales, he has taken on investors, including several of his patients who experienced the device firsthand in the dentist's chair and thought it was a great idea. The initial investment was substantial but the operation is now, Goldberg said, "close to breaking even."
The company initially manufactured the first prototypes in China, but to have better control over the quality process, he has since switched manufacturing to the United States, first to Florida, and about six months ago to Waltham, Massachusetts.
Marketing and expansion: Goldberg obtained two patents on the device, which is patented in the United States and Canada. The Food and Drug Administration has registered it as a Class 1 device (unlike pharmaceuticals, the FDA oversees but does not "FDA-approve" medical devices). It is priced at $695 (corrected from earlier version of story), and the company is about to come out with the third-generation model of it by early November, which will feature improved battery life.
The company is also coming out with a similar device called the MediVibe, which can be used to remove the pain for cosmetic surgery patients who receive Botox injections by needle in the face.
To spread the word about DentalVibe, Goldberg gives lectures at top dental schools around the country and the company—which he has hired someone to run as general manager—also attends tradeshows. Dentists who tried the gadget and liked it have appeared in media segments in their local towns to talk it up and, of course, encourage those who don't like needles to pay them a visit.
The company's website features a find a dentist feature that lets people who read about the gadget or saw something about it on TV find a dentist.
"My biggest joy is we have thousands of testimonials from patients, and people high-fiving their dentists afterwards, asking 'Why didn't' they have this when I was a kid?'" Goldberg said.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

By Emily J. Weitz
It's one thing to look at the striking images that fill Bastienne Schmidt's new photography book, Home Stills. It's quite another to sit side by side with her and go through the book, one page at a time, and pick her mind about what she was thinking when she captured these moments, which stand alone almost as powerfully as they do together.
When Bookhampton hosts a book signing with Schmidt next Saturday, the public will have the opportunity to do just that. The artist plans to take guests through a guided tour of the work, revealing a multi-dimensional significance to each image.
Schmidt has work on exhibit at some of the most prominent museums and galleries in the world, including MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and the International Center for Photography in New York. Home Stills is Schmidt's third book, and, like her other works, it addresses the concept of home. But each book is starkly different, influenced wholly by the different stages of Schmidt's life.
American Dreams is about trying to make this country — which was foreign to German-born Schmidt — home. Shadow Home is about Germany, "which I left when I was nine," she says. "It's about departure from home."
But Home Stills offers yet another take on the recurring theme.
"Home Stills was this coming home, when you create a family you create a home regardless of nationality — you create a home with another person… I've come full circle," she says. "I am now a mother and 'housewife.' [The goal of Home Stills is] to show that a life close to home can be as fascinating, strange, and alienating as anywhere else."
It's the way she looks through the camera that makes it fascinating. Schmidt finds beauty in a toy soldier, symbolism in the snake-like tube of a vacuum cleaner. But perhaps the most powerful technique that conveys her message is in the layering.
"My work deals with layers," she says. "Looking through something and not being able to totally see it clearly… Women have a lot of different angles and complexities to understand."
To achieve this, Schmidt often photographs herself as the "everywoman." You never quite see her face, whether she's looking away or obscured by some carefully chosen fabric like a doily, a sewing pattern, or colorful yarn, as seen in "Strings Attached." This layering, she says, represents "hiding of the real personality because you only see a fragmented image."
This fragmented image, the silhouettes and shadows she plays with, convey the woman that is there and not completely there.
"I think it touches a deep chord with women today," she says. "The emancipated woman – we want to have our fulfilling careers and be with our children… I create a character that's a stand-in for many women. Women need to be very flexible with their roles," she says.
Schmidt explores these roles — the sexpot, the little girl, the career-woman, the mother — not only in her photography but with other forms of expression as well.
"I like the personal narrative you can create in a book. I incorporate drawings, photos and film stills. I collect sources and then use time as a process to distill things," she says.
In order to capture the images she wants, Schmidt uses tripods and works with a digital camera and film camera side by side. She uses the digital camera as a reference point, and this way she can be sure she's gotten the right angle, even when she herself is in the photo.
"I also love the half-bird's eye," she says, pointing to a shot of her "everywoman" in a white dress padding through the snow (Walk in Snow). "Elevate yourself to see the picture more clearly."
Schmidy has been living in Bridgehampton with her family for the past nine years, since she and her husband built their house on a plot of farmland.
"Living here you are struck by the landscape," she says almost as an admission. "And that's part of it. The clear lines and the strong colors. But there's a duality to life out here… We live in a place where a lot of things touch each other but you have to look carefully to see what it means."
Schmidt references a photo where her "everywoman" sits on a funky old chair in a thrift store in Patchogue ("The Yellow Dress"), and another where she walks past a Latino man standing in a giant hole on a tree farm ("Tree Farm"). These are aspects of our culture that can't be captured by landscape alone.
"Sometimes I just roam around looking for old beauty salons or laundromats, strip malls from the 1970s. I find reminiscences of popular culture that treated women in a certain way. Working with a camera, you know anything you document is going to be gone one day. I am just recording the pre-eminent death."
Bastienne Schmidt will preview and sign her new book, Home Stills, on Saturday December 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Bookhampton in East Hampton. Visit her web site, www.bastienneschmidt.com, for more information.

Chahid Al Hafed — The Prime Minister Mr. Abdelkader Taleb Omar received Sunday morning at headquarters of the Prime Ministry in Chahid Al Hafed, Saharawi refugee camps, the UN Secretary General's Personal Envoy for Western Sahara Mr. Christopher Ross, who is visiting the Camps as a part of a tour to North Africa and Europe.
The meeting was attended by the Minister of Interior Mr. Hamada Salma, Secretary General of SADR Government and Saharawi cadres.
The meeting focused on mission of the UN Envoy and prospects of settlement.
The Saharawi PM felicitated Ross for the confidence he enjoys by the Security Council and United Nations, reaffirming support of the POLISARIO Front and SADR Government to his endeavours aimed at reaching a solution ensuring right of the Saharawi people to self-determination.
Mr. Abdelkader Taleb Omar asked the UN to accelerate the implementation of the UN and Security Council's resolutions and recommendations that call for the organization of the self-determination referendum of the Saharawi people, reiterating call to lift the siege imposed over the Territory, enable MINURSO to monitor and report about human rights, as to allow the access into occupied Western Sahara for international journalists and independent observers.
Prime Minister therefore urged Mr. Ross to work for halting Moroccan violations of human rights and pillaging of the natural resources of Western Sahara, which is still under direct responsibility of the UN pending decolonization process to take place.
The UN Secretary General's Personal Envoy for Western Sahara held several other meetings with the Ministers of Culture Ms. Khadija Hamdi, Education Ms. Mariam Salek Hmada, Public Employment Ms. Khira Ballahi, in addition to the Governor of the Wilaya of Boujdour Ms. Azza Babih and Secretary General of the Saharawi Woman Union.
He also paid a field visit to the Institution of Statistics and National Documentation.

This is simply outrageous: In the United States in 2013, it's still legal for an employer to fire someone for being gay in 29 states.
Last week, a bipartisan group in Congress took steps to change this. They introduced the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, which would make it illegal for employers to discriminate against an employee based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
No worker should face bias because of who they are or who they love.
Show your legislators you support this commonsense legislation by being a Citizen Cosponsor of ENDA. Click here.
ENDA is a commonsense adjustment to federal laws that already exist. It's already illegal in the United States to discriminate against an employee based on religion, race, gender, national origin or disability. Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender workers should have the same workplace protections.
Although ENDA has been introduced 19 times in Congress, it hasn't been voted on in the Senate since 1996. Because representatives and senators on both sides of the aisle have shown their support this time, 2013 could finally be the year for ENDA. Most voters agree it's time to change the law too -- 73 percent of Americans think gay and transgender workers should be legally protected from workplace discrimination, according to a Center for American Progress poll.
Our LGBT friends, family members and coworkers deserve better. Please be a Citizen Cosponsor of ENDA to support these workplace protections.
You can also share this graphic on Facebook to help spread the word about the need for ENDA.

There is currently a single model of the device planned for consumers that will be compatible with Android devices and PCs.

If the fans won't be blown away by her vocals, they will surely feast their eyes on Rwandan singer Ingabire Butera.
Popularly called Knowles [after American RnB star Beyonce Knowles], Butera is expected to impress many at Club Rouge's Rwanada Nite on Saturday.
She will be accompanied by DJ Pious from Kigali, who will spin the discs.
Butera, a singer, songwriter and entertainer, is known for staging some of the best show in Kigali with her bold dancing prowess.
And the Rwandan beauty also promises to give her Ugandan fans a remarkable night of great music and amazing performance with her magnetic voice.
Her music that draws inspiration from love, society and daily life experiences is a favourite to many and has won her awards back at home such as Best New Artiste in the 2010 Salax award.
The songbird with a prolific voice has collaborated with fellow Rwandan musicians including Danny, Paccy and Ciney.
For Shs 20, 000 only, fans will watch the diva do her thing with hits like Komeza (keep on), Nkoraho (Touch me) Baravuga (they talk) and her collabo Byemere (accept) with our own Vamposs.

Review: BlackBerry Storm
Form Basics Extras Video Wrap-Up Comments
Top message: Free OTA Software update for the Storm is due in 1-2 weeks by MidnightDT
Replying to: Word of advice... by bluecoyote
bluecoyote said:
Don't buy ANY device on the promise a future glitch is going to be corrected.
Future updates will most likely fix some of the Storm's sluggish performance, and I can't imagine it being a worse device after the update, but this phone has been in development for a long time- they're not going to just correct its myriad of problems in the next 7 days.
alledgedly the issues were already all but fixed in SW version 220.127.116.11 but due to a security issue discovered late they had to roll the software back to an older and more buggy version, 188.8.131.52 to launch it on time. RIM has said they are releasing a software update in a few weeks to fix issues with performance (presumably a secure version of the already devolped 220.127.116.11)
so its not like they are just pulling new software out their ass in 7 days to fix it, they already had it just have to fix a security issue and maybe add more stuff to drop on it.
the Verizon Storm was set to launch with an OS higher than 22.214.171.124. The boxes handed out at the Verizon media event on Tuesday in NYC (where all those reviewers picked theirs up) actually have stickers on them that show 126.96.36.199. Yet the devices were actually loaded with the .65 OS. Did you purchase a Storm today? Take a look at the sticker on your box. If you peel it off, you'll see one beneath for 188.8.131.52. Right before the Storm was set to ship en mass, a security glitch was caught in the OS that prompted a hault of shipment. With no time to release a newer, updated OS, the Storm's that made the stores for today's launch were simply a limited number of units that were reprovisioned with an older OS, version 22.214.171.124. Yada, yada, yada.. that explains shortages and the revised December 5th availability date along with the not quite silky smooth OS. Suffice to say, you can expect an OS update to storm into town soon. --Crackberry.com

The Bachelor
Are Jake Pavelka and Ashley Ann Vickers Still Together?
You're asking so soon?!
We reached into our Wetpaint Entertainment reader mailbag, and had to giggle when we came upon the question: "Are Jake Pavelka and Ashley Ann Vickers still together?"
Oh ye of little faith, of course they are! The two are still in full-on lovey-dovey mode. On Monday, December 12, Jake was down in Dallas with Miss Ashley Ann, where the two took in the Transyberian orchestra. "At Transyberian with my sweetie! yfrog.com/mg6axtj," he revealed to the world via Twitter.
Afterward, Ash revealed: "Take-out sushi and a movie in with a very special some1. Hmmm I don't think it gets any better ;)."
So that settles the matter for us. These two are still very much together. And very much in love!

Experts Call for Better Training of Warzone Contracting Officers
March 23, 2012
The Defense Department needs to better train warzone contracting officers as well as the military staffs that work with them, two former DoD procurement officials said Friday.
Military exercises do not incorporate contracting operations and needs, and general officers are not trained on how to work with their contracting officers, Jacques Gansler, former undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, said at the National Contact Management Association's aerospace and defense conference here.
Contracting officers also should be better managed in the warzone, said Darryl Scott, who served from 2006 to 2008 as commander of Joint Contracting Command for Iraq and Afghanistan.

RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association will recognize National Infertility Awareness Week®, April 21 through April 27, joining millions of women and men fighting the disease of infertility, healthcare professionals, psychologists and other thought leaders to promote greater awareness about infertility.
RESOLVE works to improve the lives of women and men living with infertility. One in eight U.S. couples of childbearing age is diagnosed with infertility. RESOLVE addresses this public health issue by providing community to these women and men, connecting them with others who can help, empowering them to find resolution and giving voice to their demands for access to all family building options.
"The theme of National Infertility Awareness Week® is 'Join the Movement,' and RESOLVE is delighted to work with the infertility community to call attention to the disease of infertility," said Barbara Collura, RESOLVE's President/CEO. "By rallying around the cause of infertility, we inspire more family members, friends, medical professionals, and lawmakers to join the movement to improve the lives of women and men with infertility."

The GI Bill has greatly improved over the last few years. While Military.com has highlighted these improvements to the Montgomery GI Bill in the following links, check out the latest updates to the more recent Post-9/11 GI Bill here:
The Buy-Up feature can allow active duty servicemembers to Get up to an extra $150 per month increase above the standard MGIB "pay rate." This could increase your total benefits by $5,400.
Note: The Air Force calls this program a GI Bill kicker.
To apply you must be a Category 1 eligible servicemember and elect to contribute up to an additional $600 before you separate. This means you can contribute up to a total of $1,800 - your mandatory $1,200 payment when you sign up for MGIB benefits, plus $600. Active-duty members can contribute (to their military branch) in increments of $20 up to $600. You can use form DD-2366-1 to process your request.
Through the Tuition Assistance Top-Up program active-duty servicemembers can use the GI Bill to supplement the military provided TA program. Top-Up covers the difference between the total cost of a college course and the amount of Tuition Assistance that is paid by the military.
For example, if you were taking a course that costs $1000, your tuition assistance would cover approximately $750; you can use Top-Up to cover the remaining balance.
If you have served at least two full years on active duty, are eligible for the MGIB, and have been approved for federal tuition assistance by a military department, you are eligible for Top-Up.
The Top-up benefit is available for all courses that are eligible for military TA.
If you receive $550 for Top-Up, and your full-time rate is $1,101, divide $550 by $1101. Your entitlement charge is one-half month.
If you haven't previously filed a claim for MGIB, you should do the following:
You can receive accelerated payment for education leading to a High-Tech job! Get more details on this program.
Vietnam-era Veterans may convert their Vietnam-era GI Bill benefits to the MGIB Bill.
Veterans may be eligible if they:
The VA now permits payment for independent study programs if they lead to a certificate that reflects educational attainment offered by an institution of higher learning. Learn more about MGIB Certification Programs.
You can apply for the GI Bill by filling out and following the instructions on VA Form 22-1990, Application for Education Benefits. For more details, see How to Apply for Montgomery GI Bill Benefits and get started using your benefits today!

IN THE late summer of 1629, an embittered English courtier sat at his desk and penned a letter to King Charles I detailing the loss of his hopes in the New World. Sir George Calvert had sunk a fortune in the small Newfoundland colony of Avalon, one of the earliest English settlements in North America. Eager to find an overseas refuge for his fellow Catholics, Calvert had transplanted his family from England to the mansion house in Avalon the previous year.
But the remote colony soon proved too wild, too cold, too inhospitable for the nobleman. "From the middest of October, to the middest of May," he confided in his letter, explaining his decision to abandon the settlement, "there is a sadd face of wynter vpon all this land, both sea and land so frozen for the greatest part of the tyme as they are not penetrable ..."

'The Expendables 3': 'Greedy and lazy' Bruce Willis wanted $1 million a day
Apparently those tweets Sylvester Stallone posted about Bruce Willis being "GREEDY AND LAZY" weren't some kind of weird joke. Stallone is livid with Willis over their "The Expendables 3" contract negotiations, specifically because the "Die Hard" star wanted $1 million a day to work.
A source tells The Hollywood Reporter that Willis was offered $3 million for a four-day consecutive shoot in Bulgaria. He demanded $4 million and said he'd drop out of the sequel if he didn't receive it.
"A million dollars a day. Stallone and everybody else involved said no," the insider says, adding that Stallone then reached out to Harrison Ford. "I think [Willis] was pretty surprised he was replaced in 72 hours by Harrison Ford -- a better actor, a much nicer person and a more interesting direction for the film."
Willis played the role of "Church" in both "The Expendables" and "The Expendables 2," and with an exit like this he'll probably get written out of "The Expendables 3" in a ruthless way. "The Expendables 3" will feature some new faces like Nicolas Cage, Milla Jovovich, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, Steven Seagal and Jackie Chan, as well as returning favorites Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The flick is due out on Aug. 15, 2014.

Supporters of Hezbollah watch a televised speech by Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah on the occasion of Liberation and Resistance Day in Bint Jbeil, Lebanon, Friday, May 25, 2012. (The Daily Star Photo/Mohammed Zaatari)
BEIRUT: The U.S. Treasury Department named five Lebanese citizens as drug kingpins and terrorists Wednesday for allegedly working as part of a South American money laundering and drug trafficking network with links to Hezbollah, claiming one of the individuals operated a Hezbollah cell in Colombia.
Ali Mohamad Saleh, a Lebanese and Colombian citizen, was designated as a "global terrorist" for allegedly coordinating Hezbollah activity in Colombia and South America, according to a release from the U.S. Treasury. Abbas Hussein Harb, Ibrahim Chibli, Ali Hussein Harb and Kassem Mohamad Saleh were named drug kingpins for laundering millions of dollars of drug related proceeds through Lebanon.
The announcements are part of recent efforts by the U.S. Treasury and Justice Department to increase pressure on drug trafficking organizations and Hezbollah through judicial case-building that could lead to prosecution.
The targeted judicial designations will freeze the U.S. assets of the people alleged to be in the network, aiming to make it harder for them to do business around the world. The U.S. is one of a handful of countries in the world that considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization.
"This is about protecting the U.S. and international financial system from illicit activity and terrorist financing," a Treasury spokesman told The Daily Star on condition of anonymity.
"It also publicly exposes these individuals for their support of drug trafficking or terrorism, and makes it much more difficult for them to continue their business without the cover of anonymity," the spokesman said.
In January 2012, Ayman Joumaa was designated as a drug kingpin for drug trafficking in South America, the Middle East, Europe and Africa and laundering as much as $200 million every month through cash smuggling and Lebanese businesses. Joumaa allegedly shipped around 85,000 kilos of cocaine into the U.S. and had laundered money from the Zeta cartel through the Lebanese Canadian Bank. He is also accused of financing Hezbollah.
Hezbollah's leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah strongly denied that his organization was involved in drug trafficking and money laundering from South America when the allegations against Joumaa first emerged months ago.
The Treasury Department claims Saleh raised funds for Hezbollah in Maicao, Colombia, as the leader of a support cell.
"Saleh is a key Hezbollah facilitator who has directed and coordinated Hezbollah activity in Colombia. He is a former Hezbollah fighter with knowledge of Hezbollah operation plans due to his contact with Hezbollah authorities in Lebanon," according to the release from the Treasury Department.
The release also claims that Abbas Hussein Harb, a dual Venezuelan citizen, used organizations in Colombia and Venezuela to move millions of narcotics dollars for Joumaa's organization, adding that Chibli helped launder the money through Fenicia Bank in Abbassieh, south Lebanon, where he was a manager.
Harb's organizations are said to include import businesses in Venezuela and Colombia and another business in Colombia. Ali Hussein Harb, the brother of Abbas, and Kassem Mohamad Saleh, the brother of Ali Mohamad Saleh, were also designated as kingpins for their work in the network.
The Treasury Department has designated more than 1,100 people as kingpins. The 1999 act freezes and allows the government to seize all property and assets of the individual that are under U.S. authority.
Penalties for violations if captured and found guilty include up to 10 years in jail and fines.
Being designated as a "global terrorist" by the U.S. freezes a person's assets and prohibits dealings with them.

After waiting I think over 90 mins (which included what seemed like 30 mins even after ordering), perhaps my apatite expired or perhaps it was just not that great, but I've had a much better hamburger. There wasn't that much flavour in the meat. I was however pleased that the price wasn't that bad, especially compared to that of The Burger Joint on 57th, which I would recommend over this place any day...

Shack Burger: Fresh ingredients, good bun & good lettuce; add peppers, pickles and onions: HEAVEN...well worth the wait. Take a good book for the line...
Posted by David on 06/28/2007
Yeah, it's a pretty good burger. Is it worth the wait? No. Save yourself from the inevitable disappointment an hour-long wait engenders, and try to go when it is 20 min or less. Then again, just about anything would taste good when you've been waiting that long. The portions are on the small side, too. The Shack Sauce is decent - but 0.75 for a blob of sauce when they only change 0.50 for cheese? I suppose I should be happy they don't change 1.50 for a slice of cheddar the way some other places do.

Where else in NYC can you sit outside in a park and eat great food at a reasonable price? The Shroom Burger and cheese fries are delicious. Highly recommended.
Posted by Barry on 06/18/2007
OK, I waited until I went on two different occasions before passing judgment. All I can say is that the burgers I had were absolutely tasteless! They were over-cooked and had less flavor than a McD Quarter pounder. I thought the burgers were supposed to be cooked medium if you don't specify. The first time I had it (without specifying how I wanted it done), it was dry and over-cooked. The second time I specified medium, and it was exactly the same: dry and over-cooked. I suppose I should try medium-rare now, but I have no desire to go back there. It is absolutely mystifying how these can be considered great burgers. And please don't insult my intelligence by saying my expectations were too high; and that the long wait clouded my judgment. Nonsense. They are mediocre, at best.
Posted by UES on 06/07/2007
Decent burger, huge line, basically a waste of time. You don't need to buy their food to sit in Madison Square Park - so that doesn't count for much in my book. Many better burgers just blocks away. I guess it is more a destination than a meal...
Posted by mkatack on 06/06/2007
This place is hyped as having excellent custard (ice cream). Not by us. We thought it was quite tasteless. Nothing like Custard Beach which, to my knowledge, is no longer in business. The "custard" tasted no different than most soft serve ice cream and wasn't even good at that. We did not try the food as the line was way too long for that; we went to the "express line" for the "custard".

Boost your career by going back to school
Hitting the books could help you earn and save more if you choose your schooling carefully.
Selecting the right degree or certificate program can significantly boost your earning power, helping to make it easier to reach your long-term financial goals. Schools are competing for non-traditional students by offering evening and online courses, making it easier than ever to go back to school.
Follow these tips to help make sure you're on the right track for you:
Do your homework.
Most positions beyond entry level now require a bachelor's degree. "But in many cases, they don't care what it's in as long as you have experience in the job area," says Kevin Burns, director of the undergraduate business career center at the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University in Tempe.
What if you already have a bachelor's degree? In that case, look for a program that will boost the skills you'll need to further develop your career.
Brooke Walker, a 32-year-old mother of two in Mesa, Ariz., recently completed an online degree in psychology. She has already received a raise at the law firm where she works, and says she's learning new skills that will continue to help her on the job. "I'm very happy with where I am," she says.
Crunch the numbers.
Ask your organization if it offers some tuition reimbursement. If not, consider applying for loans and scholarships for non-traditional students or, if possible, paying as you go. Walker paid for her degree by doing some waitressing and taking out student loans. Take on no more debt than the salary you anticipate you'll earn at the next level of your career, Burns recommends.
Get more out of the experience.
Talk to people who are already in your desired position to learn about the credentials required and the prospects for career development. Burns suggests conducting at least 10 informational interviews before you enroll in a new program. Read trade publications and join professional groups to build your knowledge base — and increase your value in your organization.
Your earning power can be your greatest financial asset. Increase it, and you may be able to save more for retirement — stretching out the benefits over your lifetime.
Get started.
First, it's important to consider your goals and what your expenses may be in retirement. Here's something to keep in mind: in a recent survey, the median response among financial professionals indicated that individuals need to save approximately 15% of their pay, including their organization's contributions (if applicable), to have enough income during retirement, assuming they begin saving for retirement early in their career.*
Once you increase your earning power, consider an increase to your deferral.
* America Rebuilds Research with Financial Advisors, June 2011, conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of the Principal Financial Group®. When looking at all responses in the survey, the median is the middle of the responses given.

Bro-dom: a common epidemic of 21st century American youth, and equally common fodder for ridicule. One can always tell a bro from their brightly colored shorts, their Ray-Ban sunglasses, preference towards lacrosse, affection for micro-brew, and finally, their taste in movies. Fro bros, a good movie experience does not so much depend on good writing or storytelling as much as extreme action, glorified drug use and cutboard abs. So, if you see a kid in your hall put up one of the following movie posters, or discussing one of these movies while doing calf raises at the gym, please note that you may have a bro on your hands:
Man on Fire
Why it's Bro: Contains copious amounts of explosions and violent action scenes that use seizure inducing editing to forge some flair. Bros dig that shit. Most of all, however, the film stars ultimate badass and bro favorite Denzel Washington, doing what Denzel does best: kicking ass. And killing a lot of people. Plus, just the right dosage of Christopher Walken to satisfy a bro's thirst (Bros love their Christopher Walken).
Why it's bro: Like Man on Fire, 300 falls under the category of total kickass movie with questionable ethics. The movie makes sure to remind everyone that unlike those fags from Athens, Spartans fought like men. Even if they had no chance of surviving. And even if they hurt their own civilization by doing so. 300 is the perfect movie when you and your Lax teammates want to get fired up on the bus before a division 4 high school playoff game. Extreme battle scenes, sweet lines ("Give them nothing, but take from them EVERYTHING") and cut abs galore make 300 a bro's wet dream.
The Boondock Saints
Why it's bro: Combines cheap humor, over-the-top action scenes, religious drivel and a badass representation of Irish Americans to satisfy all bros' desires (its is a fact fact that all Irish bros, even some people that I respect, believe 'Boondock Saints' to be a great piece of cinema).
The movie's Irish/ South Boston focus makes it a strong draw for the Irish bro community. Being a good part Irish myself, I almost understand the sentiment. After all, what do we have to brag about? We are a short and ugly people with annoying accents and pretty shitty food. But in 'Boondock Saints', we are short and ugly vigilantes who can shoot the hell out of a revolver.
Why it's bro: Stock full of sweet drug use scenes and a 60's soundtrack, blow provides white-Americans with their own version of Scarface, with a rarely seen makeup-less Johnny Depp serving as a Bostonian version of Tony Montana. The movie remains just obscure enough to strike up a solid bro conversation:
Bro 1: Do you know what's a totoally underrated Johhny Depp movie? Blow.
Bro 2: Dude, what a fucking great movie! So Underrated!
Bro 1: I have it on DVD! Wanna watch it in my dorm room?
Bro 2: Ya dude, lets do it! I'll bring some Blue Moon.
Bro 1: Sweet! I'll bring some condems.
Fight Club
Why it's bro: No discussion of the Bro Movie genre is complete without the mentioning of "Fight Club". I mean, just look at the premise: an underground club based on knocking the shit out of complete strangers. "Fight Club" includes enough shirtless Brad Pitt scenes to induce long-lasting broners, as well as a complicated, twisty plot that allows for some deep bro thinking. Certainly the best movie on this list; certainly not the best movie of all time, despite what B-Rad from Sig Chi thinks.

GameSpot's early access reviews evaluate unfinished games that are nonetheless available for purchase by the public. While the games in question are not considered finished by their creators, you may still devote money, time, and bandwidth for the privilege of playing them before they are complete. The review below critiques a work in progress, and represents a snapshot of the game at the time of the review's publication.
There's something so soothing, so familiar about clicking on monsters until they fall over dead. Of course, isometric role-playing games are more sophisticated than such a simple description communicates, but when your onscreen avatar wields a giant cudgel, cutting through legions of the undead with repeated presses of a single button is hypnotic. Given the amount of blood spraying about the dungeon corridors and the bushels of treasure erupting from corpses, the typical action RPG piles on the rewards with relatively little risk.
For the reward-hungry role-player, Grim Dawn is a familiar temptation, even as an early access purchase on Steam for $29.99. Its development studio is helmed by Arthur Bruno, the lead systems designer of the well-regarded clickfest Titan Quest, further making an early purchase difficult to resist. And so I capitulated to temptation by forking over the dollars and checking out this work in progress. And it clearly is a work in progress, as betrayed by an abrupt conclusion after eight hours or so and a number of yet-to-be-implemented features, such as additional difficulty levels and cooperative multiplayer, though both options are on their way.
As it stands, Grim Dawn has the basics clearly down. Its dark, demonic world mixes guns, swords, and magic into a "greatest hits" compilation of role-playing tropes, letting you choose the kind of role that best suits your playing style and sends you across the land in search of fame and fortune. As is so often the case with these kinds of games, the purpose of your adventure isn't all that vital: the shrugworthy story is just an excuse to get you moving. But where Grim Dawn might have made a mark by depicting a unique world, it's perfectly content to be just another fantasy kingdom. In a genre where Path of Exile, Diablo III, Torchlight II, and even Akaneiro are recognizable on sight, Grim Dawn sticks with the slithering creatures and snarling wolves we're used to, and a generically attractive land that doesn't evoke any mood in particular.
For the reward-hungry role-player, Grim Dawn is a familiar temptation.
But make no mistake: Grim Dawn is attractive, and it executes its tried-and-true formula with just enough panache to keep you clicking. The open-ended class system has you venturing down the talent trees of two different professions, so if you've wanted to be a pistol-wielding creature summoner, here's your chance. Further skills are afforded by rare equipment that grants you even more abilities, and I found myself mixing and matching skills in ways I didn't initially intend, leveling my strength more than a spellcasting pistoleer probably should, if only to fit into the most durable armor. Mix-and-match character builds aren't always effective in games like this, but I never felt particularly challenged, at least not until I made my way to Grim Dawn's final extensive dungeon, which had me and my summoned minions battling legions of undead attackers in the cramped darkness.
And so the future looks bright for this glum adventure. Developer Crate Entertainment states that the current content represents about one-third of the campaign, with Act II rolling out in the early months of 2014. The first act plays around a bit with a faction system that has you aligning with various sects, but the choices were so inconsequential as to seem unnecessary. I'm looking forward to seeing that system deepened, however, in the hopes that it might darken Grim Dawn with the tonal shadows the game demands if it is to live up to its title. Luckily, this system should see more play in the second act, perhaps around the same time that you will be able to bring friends along on your fantasy trek.
In a world where you can download the great Path of Exile for free, it's difficult for the developer of a Diablo-esque role-playing game to grab your attention. With $29.99, you aren't just buying an early access game, but also making a statement of trust in its maker. Grim Dawn has earned my trust in a viable future; its foundation--the refined action and rock-solid character progression--is so sturdy that from moment to moment, there's little to remind you that you're playing an unfinished game. My greatest worry, however, is that the full game built on this foundation is just another fantasy adventure in desperate need of a strong identity.
What's There?
|Several hours of slick but formulaic single-player dungeon crawling in a pretty but formulaic world.
What's to Come?
|Cooperative multiplayer, additional difficulty levels, additional acts, a crafting system, a new character class, and more.
What Does it Cost?
|$29.99, available via Steam.
When Will it be Finished?
|Developer Crate Entertainment has yet to announce a target date for when they may consider the game to be "released."
What's the Verdict?
Cautiously recommended. It may not be feature complete, but from moment to moment, Grim Dawn plays like a finished product.

Hey guys.
Is there a way that I can get a :hover state to affect an item that isn't a direct child of itself.
So say for example you had this code.
Hover on me
Is there a way using css that I can use a.link:hover to trigger something on the span.box even thought the span.box isn't inside the a.link.
Cheers everyone
I know that it should be a div and not a span but when i put div in this post it won't display properly and only shows the a link
In your specific example you could use a sibling selector:
.link:hover + .box {
/* your styles */
@TheDoc Nice cheers. i'm guessing this won't work if the affected item is outside of a wrapper element?
or to explain myself better they both need to be a child of the same parent element
Like this http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/css-content-swap.php
I think like TheDoc
a.link + span.box {
/* styling */
Hope it's helpful to you
@Blackhawkso Yes, for the sibling selector to work, both elements need to have the same parent, and they need to be in that source order.
Sorry I missed your messaged. Josh hit the nail on the head. That's why I said "in your specific example" because I wasn't sure if you were making a basic example of something more complicated that you were trying to do.
Right ok got it cheers everyone
