Tips to prevent holiday season fires
Members of the town of Superior Volunteer Fire Department urge residents to follow these fire safety tips for a safe holiday season.
Members of the town of Superior Volunteer Fire Department urge residents to follow these fire safety tips for a safe holiday season.
Decorations and lights
Check all your illuminated decorations to make sure they are in good condition. Light strands that have frayed or cracked wires should be thrown away and replaced with UL approved devices. Do not place indoor cords under carpets or throw rugs. Outside lights should be approved for outdoor use. Never use indoor lights outside. Never use more than the listed amount of light sets per extension cord. Read the manufacturer's instructions carefully and do not use more than the number of light sets recommended in one circuit. Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. Always turn off decorative lights when leaving your home.
Artificial trees should have a listing label. Some unlabeled plastic trees can burn extremely fast. If using a live tree, keep it watered frequently. The needles should not come off in your hand. The tree should be deep green in color and the trunk should be sticky with sap. Place your tree away from heat sources like fire places.
When using candles always make sure candles are not close to combustible materials such as curtains. Make sure all candles are out before leaving the house.
Make sure your fireplace is in good working order and the chimney is free from creosote build-up. Christmas wrappings and tree branches should not be burned in the fireplace. Their intense and rapid burning can cause chimney fires and flames to extend out of the firebox into your home.
Space heaters
Never use heaters around water. Water increases the chances of electric shock. Unplug your heater when it is not in use. Don't use your heater as a dryer. Keep clothing and other combustible materials at least 3 feet from your heater. Don't place a heater in a doorway, hall or walkway where it is likely to get bumped. Don't leave space heaters unattended.
Smoke alarms
As always, check your smoke alarms and make sure they are in good working order. Change your batteries twice a year.
We wish you a safe and happy holiday season
If you have any questions Please contact you local Fire Department or visit http://www.usfa.fema.gov/ for more helpful fire prevention tips.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is an Indian cricketer, and Member of Parliament. In ODIs, statistics confirm that Tendulkar is by far the most successful one-day batsman in history. In 2002, just 12 years into his career, Wisden ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Bradman, and the second greatest one-day-international (ODI) batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards. Tendulkar was a part of the 2011 Cricket World Cup winning Indian team in the later part of his career, his first such win in six World Cup appearances for India. He was also the recipient of Player of the Tournament award of ICC World Cup, 2003 held in South Africa. He won the 2010 Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for cricketer of the year at the ICC awards. He has been recommended for the receipt of the Bharat Ratna award, in fact it has been speculated that the criteria for the award of the Bharat

PAIN is PSNs most downloaded of 2008
PlayStation show Pulse is reporting that PAIN is the most downloaded title on its PlayStation Network this year.
The game released on US PSN back in 2007 and in Europe March of this year. High Velocity Bowling rolled in second and the seminal Super Stardust HD third.
In fact, considering most of the titles in the top 10 (below) came out in the US last year, we're left wondering if its a worldwide chart.
- Pain
- High Velocity Bowling
- Super Stardust HD
- PixelJunk Monsters
- Flow
- Warhawk
- Aquatopia
- Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection
- High Stakes Poker Edition

I have been blogging since 2008 and yes, there have been periods of time when I think my words are pretty much spent. 'I've talked about this before' or 'No one's commenting so is anyone even reading my words?' or, a thought that happens more often than not, 'I re-e-e-ally want to write out this experience but if the people I'm writing about read this I would be mortified. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings'. These thoughts, and some others, have held me in what I thought was a blog…

The Yamaha SD-2465 Steel Snare has a bright, cutting sound and is one of the best values around!
Steel snares have the brightest tone of all Yamaha metal-shell snare drums. The Yamaha SD-2465 Steel Snare is a versatile drum that you can tune down for a fat sound or crank it up to make your backbeat pop. The 6-1/2" deep shell has more body and warmth than a shallower shell.
One-piece lugs allow high tension and added strength. The "B" type strainer is a classic design that's simple and reliable. Triple-flanged steel hoops give you a wide tuning range and allow the drum to open up even under higher tension. Chromeplated finish is glassy smooth.
The Yamaha SD-2465 Steel Snare is everything you want in a metal snare. Order today!

Any advice for kids just starting out?
Yeah. It's not going to be easy. It's not simple. It's hard work. The sport itself is difficult to learn. I mean, look at us. We're still making mistakes and we've been at it for the past 20 years. My advice to any newcomer is just to be patient and to work as hard as you can, because if you work as hard as you can, you won't be able to look back with regrets. That's how the women on this national team got here.
Have you thought about what you want to do after you're done with soccer?
I want to do a lot of things. I want to travel the world in a different capacity. Not as a soccer player but as a humanitarian, a philanthropist. I want to own restaurants, own real estate, stuff that I'm working now to afford and achieve.
Do you enjoy the travel?
The travel is easy. When you're younger it's easy. The older you get, the more you start wanting to get a family and settle down. I'm not there yet. I'm really loving this whole experience. It's not going to last forever. That's something I've known since I got here, that I'm not going to be a soccer player forever. This is a very short time in the lifespan of a person. Soccer has given me a lot. All I can do now is keep playing well and hopefully give back to my country what it's given me.
Who are some of the people who were influential in helping you advance in your career?
I had a trainer at Florida named Randy Brower. Jerry Smith, the Santa Clara University coach, he was my Under-21 National Team coach. These people gave me the tools to be successful. It was then up to me, because at some point you have to accept the information and all the help you're getting from the outside world and internalize it and put it into a product on the field. Obviously, as role models, the people I looked up to were Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain, and obviously Kristine (Lilly). They paved the way for me to have an opportunity.
Was there a point at which you realized you had a special talent?
I didn't realize until late in my college career that it was actually something I could do after college, maybe for a living and as a career. Even then, you still had to be the best in the world. I was afforded the opportunity to play in the WUSA, which gave me the environment to learn at the next level what to do to achieve the success that you need to be on the national team. From there it steamrolled.

The Calendar of the Arts lists dynamic public events that represent the academic curriculum in the Arts at Dickinson.
Learn more
$20,000 per year The John Dickinson Scholarship is worth $80,000 for eight semesters of full-time study at the college. It is Dickinson's highest recognition for academic achievement and leadership. Recipients are top students in a challenging high-school curriculum, demonstrated through significant advanced coursework and most grades at the A (4.0) level. They have SAT scores of 1350+ (Critical Reading plus Math) or an ACT composite score of 31+ and show evidence of leadership in school or community activities.
$15,000 per year The Benjamin Rush Scholarship is worth $60,000 for eight semesters of full-time study at the college. Recipients are strong students in a challenging high-school curriculum, demonstrated through significant advanced coursework and most grades at the A (4.0) level. They have SAT scores of 1350+ (Critical Reading plus Math) or an ACT composite score of 31+ and show evidence of leadership in school or community activities.
$10,000 per year The John Montgomery Scholarship is worth $40,000 for eight semesters of full-time study at the college. Recipients have strong grades in a challenging high-school curriculum and demonstrate exceptional talent in any of a variety of areas, including the performing or studio arts, foreign-language acquisition, independent research or writing, leadership on a regional or national level, etc. Students may hold only one of the above three scholarships.
$3,000 The Inge Paul and John R. Stafford Scholarship funds the John Dickinson Scholarship ($20,000 per year) for a superior student in the life sciences and provides an additional $3,000 in total research support to be used any time during the scholar's four years at Dickinson. Stafford scholars are advised by a faculty mentor and have multiple research opportunities. We expect that this experience will prepare Stafford scholars to be competitive for prestigious postgraduate awards, such as the Fulbright and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute fellowships and, ultimately, a career in research or medicine. Recipients meet John Dickinson Scholarship requirements and demonstrate a strong interest and intention to major in the life sciences.
$2,000 per year John Dickinson, Benjamin Rush or John Montgomery scholars who are National Merit Finalists and who designate Dickinson as their first-choice college with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation by March of their senior year will be eligible to receive a supplemental scholarship of $2,000 per year, in addition to their John Dickinson, Benjamin Rush or John Montgomery scholarship.
In this innovative program, exceptional high-school graduates earn tuition credits of up to $40,000 while working to improve the society in which they live. Each year of meaningful public-service work--including service as a Global Citizen Year Fellow--earns participants a $10,000 credit toward their tuition at Dickinson. Upon matriculation, Public Service Fellows receive priority consideration for positions as resident advisors, community advisors and other opportunities to further reduce tuition and fees and gain additional leadership experience. Learn more.
Recognizing that the path to a four-year degree can be blazed not only from high school, Dickinson has established a Community College Partnership Program that goes well beyond the passive articulation agreements found between most community and four-year colleges. Dickinson's collaboration allows students to reduce total educational expenses by attending one of our region's five top community colleges during their first two years. While there, they participate in an honors program and receive academic advising from Dickinson staff. After successful completion of the program, the students transfer to Dickinson for their final two years and receive a $15,000 scholarship for each of their two remaining years. Dickinson has partnered with two community colleges in Maryland—Howard Community College and Montgomery College—and three in Pennsylvania—Montgomery County Community College, Northampton Community College and Harrisburg Area Community College. Learn more.
Dickinson's historic mission of educating engaged citizens and leaders has driven participation in a government program allowing post-9/11 United States veterans—and in some cases, their dependents—to enroll with significantly reduced tuition. Eligible students admitted to the program can receive Dickinson grants and scholarships which, when coupled with educational grants from the VA and other sources, means veterans can attend Dickinson tuition-free. They may also receive a stipend for books and supplies. This initiative opens new doors for veterans and provides them with unprecedented access to higher education. Learn more.
Through a generous multi-year grant from the National Science Foundation, Dickinson will offer a research-based program designed to broaden participation of underrepresented students in science, technology and math. The program is designed for students who aspire to become leading research scientists and will offer the chance to experience science through the excitement of research. Each recruited cohort will participate in a four-week summer bridge program before their first-year and participate in on-going research with a faculty member and advanced science student. Learn more.

Refugees now face a choice between returning home or integrating fully into Ivoirian society following a cessation clause that came into force early July, stripping the remaining Liberians of their refugee status after the UN declared that it has been six years since the conflict ended, and Liberia has undergone a sustained period of peace.
The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, is helping to repatriate refugees, providing them with small cash sums to restart their lives, and it will try to give livelihood training and assistance in obtaining the relevant documents to those who wish to remain in Côte d'Ivoire.
But many of the refugees find neither option inviting. Residents of the decade-old "transit" centre in Tabou, in the Bas-Sassandra region of Côte d'Ivoire, speak of lingering tensions in Liberia.
They point to the presence of a large UN peacekeeping mission as a mark of continued instability in Liberia, and tell horror stories of the fate that awaited some of their peers who tried to return home.
As it starts raining, a man standing at the entrance to his tattered tent on the grey tarmac wasteland of the camp tells IRIN that a woman he used to know returned to Liberia and was burned to death inside her home.
It is also disconcerting for many of the refugees that the blanket amnesty given after the conflict, means some of the leading perpetrators roam free and even hold powerful positions in the government.
Some refugees have been away for over 20 years and there is no certainty of finding their former homes will still vacant.
Land tenure is complicated in Liberia, and many refugees simply have no home to return to.
Yet integrating into Ivoirian society is equally complicated. There are strong ties between the Krahn ethnic group in eastern Liberia and the Guéré in western Côte d'Ivoire.
Since their arrival, some refugees have been targeted and marginalized by some of the locals, who see them as having brought conflict to Côte d'Ivoire—a perception strengthened by widespread allegations that Liberian mercenaries were involved in the post-election violence and recent attacks in Côte d'Ivoire.
Tensions over land rights and the ethnicization of politics by successive Ivoirian regimes have also fomented the emergence of the notion of 'Ivoirité' (Ivoirian-born) and fostered a climate of xenophobia.
Before the recent conflict in Côte d'Ivoire, some Liberians were told: "When war comes, you will be our soup," said Ezekiel, leader of the Tabou Liberian Refugee Committee. Liberians were among the many perceived outsiders who were targeted in the 2010 violence in western Côte d'Ivoire.

Curved Handheld Displays Almost Ready for Market
Both LG and Samsung plan to release phones that feature curved displays in the near future, reports Reuters. Flexible curved displays, which have been utilized in television sets, are a developing technology for smartphones and other consumer electronic devices. Quote:
Corning's Willow Glass More recently, it has been suggested that the company's rumored iWatch could incorporate a curved glass display, using bendable Willow Glass. While Gorilla Glass has claimed that the technology is not yet ready for consumer devices, a plastic-based flexible display similar to the one used by LG and Samsung is readily available.The debut of LG and Samsung's initial curved display products will provide a glimpse of what the future could hold for upcoming smartphones and other electronic devices, including the iWatch. LG's smartphone is said to utilize a 6-inch display that curves from top to bottom, while Samsung's will curve from side to side. Both displays are built on a plastic substrate that allows them to bend and flex, and according to LG, its display will be among the world's thinnest mobile panels. While the phones incorporate displays that bend, it is unclear whether the finished smartphones themselves will be flexible or rigid, similar to the impliable designs used in television sets from both companies. Samsung's smartphone will launch in October, while LG's will come slightly later, in November. Apple's iWatch is not expected to debut before late 2014.

Normally, I can imagine a use for a given technology, but not this. Why would I want foldable glass (unless that means I can carry it in my wallet or pocket without wrinkling/breaking it.)
Any ideas out there of what the utility proposition would be? |

Something like a watch makes sense for these, but I absolutely hate it for TVs and phones. The geometric distortion effect that it gives makes me want to just shut the thing off. It screams "gimmick" in those cases.

This is a technology that will be useful, but like 64-bit is more forward-looking. Once displays truly become flexible then they will be more useful. For now, curvature might help reduce glare. Anyway, we should probably wait to see what LG and Samsung actually produce before passing further judgment. The fact that both of them are in the game means that Apple has options if it wants to incorporate any similar designs next year or in the future.
---------- Potentially it could reduce glare if it is concave. Also, it could be a way of reducing the bezel size or increasing the usable area of a screen without increasing the physical size. |

Curved Tv screens
While it makes sense for VERY large tv screens, so that people sitting at the far edges, can see a better picture! I can't for the life of me figure out what the point is with a small phone screen.
If anything, it seems like a detriment. Flat is what we need. Curved screens will make straight lines look curved if not looked at straight on, and make curved lines look straight. What is the point to this other than for the sake of marketing?
If you say so. |

This is hilarious, because when flatscreen LCDs came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief because they wouldn't have to deal with the curved screens of CRT monitors that distorted shapes and couldn't be hung on a wall.
Now, everyone wants curved screens again. Oh, the irony. Change for the sake of change is not progress. Change is easy... improvement is much harder. |

The true utility of Willow Glass is not the fact you can get a pre-curved display, but is illustrated by the proverb: "The tree that does not bend with the wind will be broken by the wind."
Something flexible will not break as easily.

Older CRTs were convex because that's the only way CRTs can emit photons (from a cylinder). A concave display could reduce glare because less of the surface is facing a light source. A convex display has more glare because more of the surface faces a light source.

That was because the older CRT monitors all had a CONVEX surface, which indeed increased glare. Relative to a convex surface, a flat screen reduces glare. But the OP said if the surface could be made just slightly concave, it surely would further reduce the glare, which is very true physic that you totally missed.

You may not want a curved iPad but a flexible screen means a screen that will not shatter if dropped, pretty much for the same reason a pair of socks don't shatter when you drop them or place a heavy object on them. The iPad/iPhone screens would be very damage resistant.
Next they can work on coatings that make Apple product more water proof. |

NYC Mayor Welcomes Suspected Terrorist
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg denies knowing that one of his guests at City Hall this week is a Muslim leader long suspected of conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bombing. The New York Post reports that Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly played host to Islamic imam Siraj Wahhaj and other religious and community leaders on Wednesday to discuss last week's massacre in Fort Hood, Texas. The roundtable meeting was closed to the media.

President Obama wants to centralize oversight of the nation's waters along our coastlines and Great Lake shores, synthesizing federal, state, and other agencies into one comprehensive national system.
Hefty Price Tag for U.S. Spy Activities
Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair has announced that U.S. spy activities cost taxpayers $75 billion a year. It was an unprecedented move, as U.S. officials have always taken great pains to keep military-intelligence spending secret.
Will TRAIN Derail the EPA?
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the TRAIN Act, which calls for establishing a committee to analyze the economic impact of recent regulations imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Representatives John Sullivan (R-Okla., left) and Jim Matheson (D-Utah) introduced the bill in May. "TRAIN" is short for the bill's imposing title, "Transparency in Regulatory Analysis of Impacts on the Nation Act of 2011."
Senate Obamacare Bill Could Ban Guns
The Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to vote on Chairman Max Baucus' socialized healthcare bill Tuesday, October 13, and Gun Owners of America (GOA) is warning the bill contains language that could be used to ban firearms.
Obama Opposes Pro-life Efforts in Healthcare Reform
President Obama and abortion advocates in the Senate plan to remove pro-life language in the healthcare reform bill that passed the House on November 7. Their guns are aimed at the Stupak Amendment, a measure that ensures taxpayers' money will not fund abortions.
Coalition Urges ObamaCare Support
The coalition Health Equity For All is launching a series of television commercials and print ads to promote Obama's healthcare reform. The ads appeal to minorities, linking the healthcare debate to the civil rights movement. It places the blame of high health costs on insurance companies that are supposedly only concerned about profits. And it asks viewers to contact their senators, urging support for healthcare reform legislation before the U.S. Senate.
More Pro-lifers Thanks to Obama
Popular support for legal abortion is shrinking nationwide, and we may have Obama to thank for it, according to results released on Thursday of an August 2009 survey from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life (PF).
Pro-Life Group Launches 40-day Prayer Vigil
The eighth annual "40 Days for Life" campaign to end abortion launches September 28 at an unprecedented 301 locations worldwide. Local volunteers are set to begin constant 24-hour prayer vigils outside abortion clinics in their respective cities from September 28 until November 6. Participants have also pledged to fast and pray privately during the crusade and to take part in community outreach programs as well.

Development of Industry's first 7200 RPM 2TB Enterprise level hard drives by HITACHI
With growing needs for such application as data warehousing, disk-to-disk backup, cloud computing as well as huge scale-out storage implementation has contributed in importance of some critical attributes such as storage density, GB-per-watt and cost-per-GB. At the same time enterprises are faced with the growing volume of digital content, maximum storage rack-density and floor tile space and they need to reduce the overall energy consumption, forcing the data centers to push the boundaries to make storage more efficient through implementation of such technology as virtualization, thin provisioning and de-duplication. To respond to these needs, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies made an announcement on development of and shipping of industry's first enterprise class 7200 RPM 2TB Hard Drives. The new Ultrastar A7K2000 has been designed, manufactured and tested in ensuring enterprise-class mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) of 1.2 million hours for demanding 24×7 nearline applications making it an ideal solution for such application as data warehousing, disk-to-disk backup, cloud computing and massive scale-out storage implementations.

The driver and at least five other men on the bus were drunk and looking for a "joyride," police said.
The men, from a poverty-ridden slum on the outskirts of Delhi, dragged the woman to the back of the bus and beat up her male friend.
Police say the men took turns raping the woman, using an iron rod to violate her as the bus drove around the city for almost an hour. When they had finished, they dumped the two victims by the side of the road.
The woman's injuries were so severe that some internal organs had to be removed. She died two weeks later at a hospital in Singapore.
A rape every 22 minutes
As in many countries, rape is a grimly frequent occurrence in India.
According to Indian government statistics, a woman is raped every 22 minutes on average.
But the New Delhi attack seized the country's attention.
Advocates criticized the world's largest democracy for failing to protect half of its population. Protesters demanded better treatment of women and decried the apathy of police and the judicial system.
The government passed tougher anti-rape laws, introducing the death penalty for repeat offenders, and imprisonment for acid attacks, human trafficking and stalking.
But some Indians say that while the laws on crimes against women have changed, mindsets and enforcement haven't.
Prosecution of such crimes has improved, Bedi believes, but it will take a heavy emphasis on the family and school environments to resolve the problem in the long run.
"You can't just begin and end with the police and the prosecution and the courts," she said. "You have to go backward and take it to the source."

Harry Chamberlain
Harry belongs to: The Coble and Keelboat Society
Harry grew up on the Lawe Top in South Shields. He served an apprenticeship on the tugboats and worked on the Titan Crane. Harry is a member of the Coble and Keelboat Society.
Harry was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 31 January 2006. The interview took place at South Shields Museum and lasted 1 hour, 20 minutes and 15 seconds.
"The first coble I had was the Mary Young, she is still down there, an Amble boat"
The first coble I had was the Mary Young, she is still down there, an Amble boat, and then the next one, I had quite a few cobles, like. I like building them up and putting them back, the way that I a lot of them get hammered, but the one Ive got now the Royal Diadem, shes an Amble coble, 32 footer, Ive had her about four years, and she comes from Newbiggin, and if you ever wanted to buy, people have to look after their boats, cobles properly, you cant go to any place better than Newbiggin. Theyre like old type fishermen, like you had in Shields years ago and North Shields, it was their way of life, so they had to look after their boats, they were immaculate, you know, you always get the odd ones, like, but Newbiggin thats where I got this one from, she was built in 19, I think it was 1960, 67, nine and half foot and shes a traditional coble, shes still got the stock in for the mast and everything. A lot of the old timers, even, even to this day, well they dont build cobles now, but they still put the stock in for the mast, if you ever want to put them back to sailing, you can put them back to sailing, you know.
I dont know, theres just something there, its like people collecting vintage cars. The look of a coble. If you look at a Viking boat theyre exactly the same boat, if you look even to this day if you look at a coble, the way theyre built the way theyre planked, the way theyre nailed, I dont know who long it was since the Vikings were here but its exactly the same boat. People dont realise why the coble has a flat stern, but I read a book one time by a fellow called Rutter, I think it was Rutter from Seahouses, he fished all his life. He said, "basically, the coast of Northumberland is sandy and a double ended boat like a Viking ship if you pull it up into the sand the first thing it does is dig into the sand," so he reckons, and I agree with him, is just cut the stern off, and put a flat stern on a flat back so when your pulling them its just sliding over the sand.

Except for LOTR and Life of Pi. They left some stuff out of both, but they still did really well with condensing a whole book into a less than 3 hour movie.
#4 to #2
cowinspace (11/30/2012) [-]
Not to point out the blindingly obvious but Hitchhikers was an adaption of a radio play, not a book. The book was also an adaption of the radio play, as was the tv series, and technically parts of the radio play were adaptions of both the books and the tv series as well as early drafts for a movie adaption of the radio play and bits of the tv series as well as some content from the books and........ well........ It's still the best five book trilogy in the world. Adams died too soon.

San Jose is small and cozy. Although its style and architecture are contemporary, some buildings of strong European influence, mainly British and French, can still be found as a heritage of the economic coffee prosperity from the turn of the century. Towards north and west of the city, we can still appreciate some old adobe structures with tile roofs that have been preserved with care, which evoke past remembrances of the large coffee plantations and farms. Although district areas do exist, these are small quadrants for property census and electoral organization mainly. The administrative division of the country was defined by regions or cantons which have their own municipalities, and can be considered as small urban zones and towns, with their own unique personality and characteristics. Thanks to the topography, there is a great diversity of micro-climates that determine in many cases the type of production on the region. Distances are easily covered by car or public transportation.
San Jose Downtown
Very early, within the drowsiness of the dawn and the growing murmur of the first by-passers, this small city awakens indulged in laziness after a night of great food, drinking, and fun. The exquisite smell of fresh bread and recently brewed coffee from the highlands fills the air that surrounds the coffee and soda shops, meanwhile the rustling of fast-paced steps, car motors and horns increases even more.
Due to its small size, friendly and charming San Jose, or Chepe as known affectionately by the ticos is worth to be checked by foot. Not so long ago, the Central Avenue was closed to vehicle traffic and embellished with stone paving and gardens, so the tourists and locals as well could walk by in comfort or just sit down to enjoy the passing-by of the very beautiful Costarrican women!
Just ask anyone on the street: 'How are you?' The answer invariably will be: Pura Vida!(Pure Life!)
This expression explains in two words the charm, positivism, and friendliness of the local people towards a newcomer. Oh! If you do not speak Spanish, there is a very good chance you will get an answer in English!
It is important to note; that San Jose's Municipality has made great efforts to protect the security of is inhabitants and visitors as well, but some areas in downtown may be considered dangerous. However, as in any city, prevention is always a good measure.
The district of the witches! If you ever need a magic potion for luck or love, or want to cast a spell on someone, you will have to look around Escazú. This is more of a legend than a reality. Actually, Escazú has become a major commerce and entertaining area, with beautiful hotels and fabulous restaurants. Its residential zones are ample and highly priced. Located in the foothills of the mountain, you just need to go up a few meters to enjoy a breathtaking view of the whole city.
Santa Ana
Heading West from Escazú a few kilometers on the same road, you will find the very impressive Santa Ana Valley. Its marvelous weather has helped to turn this zone into in a highly developed area in very short time. Many residents from the more dense areas, tired of the noise and turmoil have moved over to Santa Ana in a quest for tranquility and warmth.
The main produce of this region are onions that are planted in the area with great pride. Other vegetables are also produced and there is a flourishing pottery industry as well.
Montes de Oca
The district of the youth and the culture! The University City Rodrigo Facio, the Universidad de Costa Rica is located in the main urban zone, San Pedro. This area has become the preferred place for students and intellectuals. There are moderately priced small cafes and bars around the University and student boarding houses. Bed and Breakfast and apartment hotels are nearby to house the tourists. This is a very traditional commerce area of Malls, restaurants, and entertaining as well.
There are other more rural areas, farther from the city environment within San Jose. Puriscal, Tarrazú and Aserrí, as well as Acosta, Dota and Perez Zeledón standout for the beauty of their scenery, with small markets of local products and artisan stores. The travel agencies have tours to drive you over, and there is always a public transportation service and car rentals for the adventurous one. No doubt, San Jose is in all of its urban and rural expressions, a glamorous and modern great city with beautiful and wonderful towns to discover.

With all the coming and going, the morning stroll and the shopping spree downtown, it seems like your stomach has forgotten that just a few hours ago it enjoyed breakfast at the hotel veranda. You note that the Oeufs à la Benedictine, the gallo pinto with sour cream and the pancakes with bacon Texas fashion, all washed down with coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice, really made for a super international and sumptuous breakfast! Enough to forget about lunch! No way! Your stomach demands with an awful and loud growl as a reminder that is time to indulge again.
Since you are close to the hotel, you decide to go back, change, and drop your shopping bags. On the way out, you almost sit back down again on the same veranda where you had breakfast this morning, but your instinct reminds you that hotel restaurants (with clear exceptions, that is) are good for breakfast, and breakfast only. Therefore, you go out in quest for good food at other times.
Finding a good restaurant is not a problem. In the gastronomic arena, San Jose puts on airs of a big city and savoir faire, rubbing shoulders and rivaling with more cosmopolitan towns. With the development of a solid and always growing tourism industry, restaurants specializing in dishes from all over the world are common including fast food chains, small cozy restaurants, and five star rooms. Since the coastlines are so close together, seafood is known for its freshness, as they are brought in daily refrigerated, but not frozen. At Tin Jo Corvina, shrimp from the Pacific and lobster from the Caribbean are served Chinese style, although the marisquerías offer the widest variety, the freshest product and the best prices.
Concerning the indigenous gastronomy, the corn kitchen stands out. As a heritage from the indigenous tradition all the way from Northern Mexico to South America, the tortillas, tamales, corn biscuits, and a wide array of dishes made out of corn are part of the daily diet. This are combined with beans and picadillos, meats and all sort of vegetables. There are some specialized quality restaurants developing a new Costa Rican cuisine like Casa de Doña Lela which mixes genuinely local ingredients with others of higher lineage in the preparation of truly original and exclusive dishes. For italian food, try Cerutti and Alfredo , both are well recommended by the locals. French cuisine at Le Monastere is always a wonderful option for dining in Escazú and for Pervian fusion try La Divina Comida .
Montes de Oca
Montes de Oca and the university area is a very busy district, with lots of hungry students at lunchtime. To fulfill this need, besides the fast food chains and the picturesque Chinese restaurants, economical refreshment room outlets and sodas are found all over. The bar La Castilla serves great drinks and snacks. Every establishment makes it differently but there is no doubt they carry the home made seal. If you are on a tight budget or otherwise want to try something really local, go to La Isabela Tapas & Wine Cellar for some spanish tapas and for coffee lovers, try Casa del Cafe and choose among a huge variety of flavors.
Outside of the City
San Jose, all the way down from Central Avenue to Sabana Oeste, Escazú, and San Pedro is the mecca for culinary arts. Nevertheless, you will find good typical restaurants and outlets practically in every corner of this little piece of land. Outside of the city, for a real Argentine experience, go to El Novillo Alegre for Argentinian steak. Pan e Vino offers traditional Costa Rican cuisine and Ichiban provides diners with Japanese dishes. Another choose is Antigua which serves international cuisine.
So now that you made up your mind with a firm decision and a demanding stomach, there is only one thing left to say, Bon Appetite!

Leather season is hard upon us -- and a special Folsom Pride party adds to the festivities
SUPER EGO Just hear that harness jinglin', chapped cheeks tinglin', toooo .... Leather season is here, whipping us into a frenzy in the best possible way. At the feisty International Mr. Leather Competition in Chicago last month, our own adorable Mr. San Francisco Leather, Andy Cross, took home the top title, while Mr. Santa Clara County Leather, Thib Guicherd-Callin, won first runner-up. The International Ms. Leather competition, held here in April, was quite lively as well, and of course we're still celebrating the reopening of leather central, the SF Eagle. Sashes, lashes, shots, and nipple slaps for everyone!
It's all the perfect, thigh-high-booted lead-in to a gloriously kinky summer, bracketed by those essential Folsom Street Events (www.folsomstreetevents.com): scruffy gay Up Your Alley Fair on Sunday, July 28 and pansexual bacchanal Folsom Street Fair (celebrating 30 years, woah) on Sunday, September 29. Those two events have grown so much they've recently been expanded, as have their satellite parties — this year, Folsom's muscle-hunk Magnitude party will take over two huge venues, Sound Factory and nearby Terra, as will its more queer-friendly counterpart Deviants, at Beatbox and Mist. Meanwhile, Folsom Events is planning its first Pride float — at 48-feet, it needed a special parade provision, because it's "too big." Ummm.
"Well, people are still having the dirty sex. We're just trying to give them as much as they can handle — and they can handle a lot, apparently." laughs sparkle-eyed cutie Demetri Moshoyannis, Folsom Events' executive director, when I bring up how much his organization keeps proving that rumors of the leather scene's imminent demise are unfounded. (Like many close-knit communities, the leather one's in a constant tizzy over dying out — due to the Internet, mainstream blanding, old age, gentrification, Japanese water ghosts, what have you.) "But of course things change. No, girl, it's not gonna look like the '70s. Because those were the '70s."
Demetri Moshoyannis of Folsom Street Events (he's a DJ, too!) Photo by Uel Renteria
"It's kind of funny, our biggest task this year is assuring everyone that it's perfectly legal to be naked at Up Your Alley and Folsom Street Fair," Demetri continued, referring to the street fair exemption from the city's recently passed nudity ban. "We'll have an expanded clothes check, and we encourage everyone to get naked. Everywhere we go, people from around the world are, like, 'You can't even be naked in San Francisco anymore?' Well, at least at our party you can."
The biggest surprise expansion of the leather community, however, has been one of taste. Under Demetri's eight-year leadership, Folsom's gone beyond being the biggest fetish fair in the world to becoming a major West Coast tour stop for indie electro bands. For those of us who still associate leather parties with the tinny diva carnival racket that is gay circuit music, this is an incredible relief. Folsom Street Fair lineups, including acts like The Presets, Little Boots, and Ladyhawke, have been geared toward attracting a more adventurous concert-going demographic. And it's worked.
Why are the nudist on Castro street treated as second class citizens who ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE NUDE , but the "chosen" ones at the Folsom Street fair are exempt from this law? It's textbook segregation, and it's unconstitutional !

i am trying to figure out where to start implementing the GTD methodologies and I don't seem to be getting very far...
is the first step to get a group of boxes and start putting everything in the categories of:
Waiting On
I've started this, but then sidetracked.... likely I just need to continue along that path.
My biggest problem is where and how to put the task list together, especially how to organize the subtasks / sub lists.
I keep making lists and then not keeping that list or location, and then starting another list.
The completion of tasks seems often to be simply putting out fires as they start or completing tasks because I have no choice.
In other words, I'm reacting not acting....
I would really like to find a system and go with it. I'm sure that on some level I just need to stick with a method and keep it going until I see need for tweaks, etc.
I'm not much for motivational seminars, but it seems like listening to and reading about things related to GTD get some people motivated or inspired..
Is there a question in here?!
Oh yah, where do i start?

As with all Kickstarter projects, if the funding attempt falls through, you won't be charged.
The game has players manipulating light as it passes through the universe, navigating a variety of shape-changing objects and collecting items. Gameplay looks to be something like a blend of rhythm action and puzzle, and is complemented by trippy visuals and gorgeous chiptunes. Check out a trailer through the break.

Widespread media reports have described Kelley as a liaison at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, where the U.S. Central Command is headquartered. Both Petraeus and Allen were previously stationed at the base. A Central Command spokesman said she is a volunteer with no official position.
Kelley has not responded publicly to the latest news.
On Monday, her brother, David Khawam, told CNN affiliate KYW-TV that she went to authorities because she was scared after receiving the e-mails. He described his sister as a dedicated mother and said it would be "completely uncharacteristic" for her to have an affair.
Both Allen and Petraeus appear to know Kelley's sister, Natalie Khawam. The men wrote letters in support of Khawam in a custody battle, court records show.
One of the sources familiar with Kelley said she first mentioned the alleged harassment in a casual conversation with an FBI agent she knew socially. She did not seek him out specifically for action on the matter, but was happy for the help, the source said. The source added that Kelley did not know at first that the e-mails led to Petraeus.
Earlier, amid national talk about the Petraeus scandal, Kelley, 37, and her husband released a statement saying they have been friends with Petraeus and his family for more than five years and asked for privacy.
The sprawling story continued to sprout new details Tuesday, including a revelation from a senior official close to Allen claiming that it was Allen who received an anonymous e-mail about Kelley, and tipped her off that someone was threatening her.
Other U.S. officials have said Kelley received harassing e-mails that concerned her and went to the FBI.
"There is no affair," the senior official said. "She is a bored rich socialite involved with every single senior commander at CENTCOM, because she worked as an honorary ambassador."
In another bizarre twist, a jogger running in Rock Creek Park in Washington on Sunday found Broadwell's North Carolina license, according to Lt. Bill Kellogg, spokesman for the Maryland-National Capitol Park Police. Police attempted to contact Broadwell, who lives with her husband and children in Charlotte, but were unsuccessful. Because her name has been in the news recently, they also reached out to the FBI.
Meanwhile, the FBI continues to look into the Petraeus affair amid congressional calls for an inquiry into why leaders were not notified of that matter sooner.
The Petraeus scandal also has raised questions about potential impacts on national security, including concerns that his paramour may have had access to his classified schedule and a New York Times report that she had classified documents on her laptop computer.
FBI agents were at Broadwell's Charlotte, North Carolina, home late Monday, said local FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch. She declined to say what the agents were doing there.
A source told CNN national security contributor Fran Townsend that Broadwell was acting as Petraeus' archivist, and that the FBI went to the house to look for any documents she might have. It was not clear whether any of the material was classified, the source said.
Also, a video has surfaced of a speech by Broadwell in which she suggested the Libya attack on September 11 was targeting a secret prison at the Benghazi consulate annex, raising unverified concerns about possible security leaks.
"I don't know if a lot of you have heard this, but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to get these prisoners back," said Broadwell in a speech last month at the University of Denver.
A senior intelligence official told CNN on Monday, "These detention claims are categorically not true. Nobody was ever held at the annex before, during, or after the attacks."
Broadwell's source for that previously unpublished bit of information remains unclear, and there's no evidence so far that it came from Petraeus.
Administration officials have said the Benghazi assault was a terrorist attack.
Petraeus was scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill about the attack this week at closed-door hearings. Some Republicans have criticized the administration's response to the Benghazi attack and have speculated that the timing of Petraeus' departure was linked to the congressional inquiry.
