View from hills overlooking Samara Beach, Guanacaste Costa Rica.
Nice beach for swimming with gentle waves, good place for beginner
surfing lessons, good food and of course (Dos Aguilar) my favorite
beer in Costa Rica. Carillo Beach lies a couple miles away and it is
my favorite beach to swim at on the west coat of Costa Rica. Rolling
waves, not to huge; great for swimming.

Article on Kutchers' challenge to CNN by John D Sutter of CNN





By John D. SutterCNN



(CNN) -- Ashton Kutcher has challenged CNN to a popularity contest on the social media site Twitter.
CNN and Ashton Kutcher are racing for 1 million followers on Twitter.

The celebrity and the news network are racing to get 1 million followers on the micro-blogging site, where users post 140-character messages.
Kutcher challenged CNN to the race with a Web video posted on Tuesday. If he wins, Kutcher says he will "ding-dong ditch" CNN founder Ted Turner's house.
"I found it astonishing that one person can actually have as big of a voice online as what an entire media company can on Twitter," Kutcher says in a video, which was shot from inside a car and was posted on Qik.com.
"So I just thought that was just kind of an amazing comment on the state of our media, and I said that, if I beat CNN to 1 million viewers, then I would ding-dong ditch Ted Turner -- because I don't think it's gonna happen." Watch video of Kutcher's challenge »
As of Wednesday afternoon, Kutcher's Twitter account had 896,947 followers, putting him in third place in the number of followers. Britney Spears was in second with about 905,640 followers, and CNN's breaking news account was watched by 937,787 people on the site.
No single Twitter account has attracted 1 million followers, according to TwitterCounter and Twitterholic, two sites tracking the most popular Twitter users.

Americans wanted change, but did they realize what they were going to get with O'bama.

More government spending. Those taxes must come from the few left working. I don't think those Americans should be on the sidelines.
