<description><![CDATA[minsan, sa aking paglalakad mag-isa tungo sa &#8216;zen state of mind&#8217; (soul searching kumbaga]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>minsan, sa aking paglalakad mag-isa tungo sa 'zen state of mind' (soul searching kumbaga), ay may nakatagpo akong isang paru-paro na tila'y lumilipad na walang direksyon, animo'y nawawala sa karangyaan at kagandahan ng mundo. marahil sa pagka "werla" nito ay napilitan syang lapitan ako nung nagtagpo ang aming mga tingin, at tinanong ako "alam mo ba ang daan patungong langit, kaibigan?".</p>
<p>napagbuntong hininga ako, at napag-isip ng napakalalim. hindi ako nakasagot agad, at nung napansin ng paru-paro na kumukunot na ang aking nuo sa kakaisip ay kumunot rin ang antenna nito. kami'y nasalakab sa isang moment of silence.</p>
<p>"define langit..." ang mga salitang bumulalas sa aking bibig sa pagmamadaling hanapan ng paraan upang biyakin ang moment of silence na yun, na sinabayan ko ng isang makamundong ngiti na nagbabadya kung anong klase ng langit ang napapaloob sa aking isipan.</p>
<p>"langit 'pre... yun yung term namin sa pinaka magandang hardin dito sa inyo. kung saan may sang damakmak na bulaklak na fresh na fresh at namumukadkad sa kagandahan..." tugon nito. sa pagkakataong iyon ay naisip ko na ang langit para sa paru-parong ito at ang langit na syang iniisip ko ay hindi pala nagkakalayo. dun ko rin naisip na may mga lalakeng paru-paro pala... kung sabagay, ndi ko rin pwedeng i judge ang gender nya sa kulay ng mga pakpak nyang pink sapagkat ang suot ko na t-shirt nun ay sumisigaw na yellow green with pink accent lines all over. char</p>
<p>"ah, yun ba? alam ko yun.. ang totoo nyan, dun ko itutuloy ang kasukdulan ng aking soul searching. ikaw?"</p>
<p>"andun ang gerlprend ko 'pre... bagong relocate kasi sila mula sa pinag-lumaang garden dun sa isang kanto. magkikita kami ngayon, para, you know na.. pollinate. hihihi" sagot ng paru-paro, na may halong kilig na tumatakbo sa buong katawan nito. may mga hayop palang sadyang korny.</p>
<p>"o sige, sabay na tayo.. pero teka, sa dinami-rami ng bulaklak dun, sigurado ka bang makikilala mo pa yung gerlprend mo?" usisa ko.</p>
<p>"syempre.. lovers' instinct tol.. wala ka nun ano?" sagot ng paru-paro.</p>
<p>lang h'ya, nang alaska pa tong paru-parong to. pero hindi na rin ako sumagot sapagkat may point rin naman sya. pano nga ba ako magkaka lovers' instinct kung in the first place wala akong lover (na sya kong hinahanapan ng paraan sa mga panahong iyon). tsk tsk tsk</p>
<p>at yun na nga, nagpatuloy na kami sa aming paglalakad, at narating ang "langit" sa iilang minuto lamang. sa aming pagdating ay kapansin-pansin ang katahimikan ng lugar. naghanap ako ng pwesto kung saan makakapag relax ng mainam, at ang paru-paro ay naging busy sa paghahanap ng gerlprend nya. sa iilang sandali lang ay naispatan nya ito at inalok akong ipakilala sa mga kaibigan nyang bulaklak rin. sweet raw sila at fresh na fresh rin. "anong tingin mo saken? vegetarian?" ang syang biro ko, bago namin nilapitan ang gerlprend nya.</p>
<p>nung papalapit na kami ay may isang lalake ang biglang sumulpot mula sa kawalan ng kalawakang pumapagitna sa amin at sa mga bulaklak sa mga panahong iyon. at sa isang iglap ay pinitas ang gerlprend ng kawawang paru-paro, sabay takbo sa isang babaeng naka-upo sa isang lugar na ndi kalayuan sa aming kinatatayuan...</p>
<p>shet... ang babaeng yun ang syang babaeng nagpapatibok ng aking puso, ang dahilan kung bakit ako nag so-soul searching in the first place... ang babaeng matagal ko nang dinadala sa aking damdamin.</p>
<p>at isa pang shet para sa gerlprend ng paru-parong pinitas nung lalakeng ndi naman kagwapuhan, pero feeling matinee idol; may pabigay bigay pa ng flower na pwede naman sana nyang bilhin dun sa tapat ng sementeryo.</p>
<p>nung sinimulan ng tirisin ni crush ang bulaklak petal by petal, at nag "he loves me he loves me not" (na nagtapos sa "he love meee!" sabay halik sa actor) ay naramdaman ko ang pag-guho ng salingang aking kinatatayuan.</p>
<p>"o hindeeee!" ang bulong ng trahedya ng paru-parong tila nawalan na ng gana mabuhay.</p>
<p>ako nama'y tumalikod, at dahan dahang naglakad pauwi na may dalang masidhing damdamin sa aking nasaksihan... marahil dahil sa katotohanang sa pangyayaring 'yon ay naisip ko na ganun lang pala kadali maulila ang mga puso ng mga nilalang matapat magmamahal.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#333399;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Starcraft II, 2 New Planets Revealed</strong></span></span></p>
<p>Blizzard released today a few screenshots and artworks for two new planets: <em>Char </em>and <em>Mar Sara.</em><br />
The two planets have very different looks, the former looking like an apocalyptic magma planet while the latter looks more like half desert half rocky planet.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="center"><img src="http://ledernierquebecois.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/ligne-3.jpg" alt="" width="425" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1386" /></div>
<p>La ville de Nantes, en France, a laissé tombé le tramway dans les années cinquante, tout comme à Montréal.   Capitulation devant <a href="http://ledernierquebecois.wordpress.com/2007/07/28/le-maudit-char/">le maudit char</a>, dont le règne sans partage semble néanmoins désormais achever, à cause du <a href="http://ledernierquebecois.wordpress.com/2007/10/23/le-pic-petrolier-cest-maintenant/">pic pétrolier</a>.</p>
<p>Ainsi, pendant qu'à Nantes on construit un tramway ultra-moderne utilisant <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramway_de_Nantes">l'air comprimé</a> comme moyen de traction en replacement de deux voies sur un boulevard très passant, à Montréal on vit dans le passé en dépensant des millions pour une <a href="http://www.projetnotredame.qc.ca/accueil/">rue Notre-Dame</a> pour les chars.  Une autoroute urbaine avec une belle piste cyclable sur le côté pour s'attraper un succulent cancer des poumons en pédalant à côté de huit voies de chars et de camions.  Du béton, du bitume, des feux de circulation, et des chars.  Tout ça, alors que le prix du pétrole va continuer de monter et que la demande pour des transports en commun n'a jamais été aussi forte.  Je ne sais pas ce qu'ont consommé nos élus à Montréal et Québec, mais ils ont manqué le tramway, et pas à peu près!</p>
<p>En effet, on aurait très bien pu s'inspirer de Nantes et laisser la Notre-Dame à deux voies de larges, mais utiliser l'espace disponible pour construire un tramway partant de Pointe-aux-Trembles (un secteur très mal desservi par le transport en commun) vers le centre-ville, passant par les quartiers très populaires de Tétreaultville, de Hochelage-Maisonneuve, Centre-Sud.  Un tramway qui t'emmène au centre-ville en vingt-minutes, trente au maximum, et qui fonctionne à l'électricité.  Ça, c'est le futur.  Ça, c'est écologique.</p>
<p>Mais non, à Montréal et au Québec, on préfère le béton et le bitume.  On vit dans le passé, on construit de <a href="http://www.autoroute30.qc.ca/fr/">nouvelles autoroutes</a> en plein champ alors que des centaines de milliers de citoyens n'ont pas accès à des services de transport en commun respectables.</p>
<p>Montréal, Québec, individualisme, vieilles idées.  À quand le renouveau?  </p>
<p>Vite, un projet sur les rails!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mmm, so my mother, my brother, and I have gone to Seattle yesterday on Friday the 12th and we went to go dim sum. Of course, we rode the bus because we thought it would be better to just take the bus there and be able to sleep on the way there; once we got there we had a bit of trouble finding the restaurant because my mom was confused the name of the restaurant. Once we had found it after a bit, we went inside and immediately started eating because dim sum is very fast service because they have already prepared food and you just pick what you want off the meandering carts that a lot of waitresses just talk and chat. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/quanch/2664444122/" title="叉燒酥 - Dim Sum by Jestur, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3050/2664444122_dc5e6c8061_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="叉燒酥 - Dim Sum" align="right" border="1"></a> But, the food was good with some pluses and minuses; of course every dim sum has the staple food and you can compare it to other places. When we had dim sum in Kent at the Great Wall Shopping Mall, they had a bit better food than here but a little worse than some of the items here. But, overall it was pretty yummy and I filled myself right up as a cheat day today; it was really wonderful and I had a great time. My favorite dish just had to be the char siu sou; it tasted somewhat similar to a croissant with a little more crispiness and with the char siu inside it was very good! Can't resist good food like that! I also liked the turnip cakes, though they were a bit worse than the one in the Great Wall Shopping Mall for this one was a bit less zesty, it was still good. Dim sum is always good in my opinion, and I'll be going to dim sum again when my brother comes back from college <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/quanch/2663614585/" title="蘿蔔糕 - Dim Sum by Jestur, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3010/2663614585_56a3821122_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="蘿蔔糕 - Dim Sum" align="left" border="1" /></a> in the winter.</p>
<p> Of course, after we exited the restaurant we headed to the summer Asian festival in Seattle and my mother wanted to look around so my brother and I went to Gameworks and enjoyed a few games; we especially liked the Japanese drumming game and of course, the DDR.  I don't get why some songs aren't on the normal DDR they distribute for the PS2 Supernova but I have a new favorite song from Raven G but I can't recall the name at the moment. Also, my brother just figured out how to play the Danceman Game correctly which we had no idea how to play earlier; you just wave your hands through it like a real dance and you don't tap it. Heh, it took a little while but now it is much more fun.</p>
<p> After we finished up at Gameworks with still around five dollars worth of points we headed off to the bus stop to get the free ride zone to Uwajimaya to meet up with our mom again. Once we got to Uwajimaya and met up with our mom we went into the book store and I was debating wether to get Full Metal Panic but I decided not to because I was originally going to buy Yotsuba&#38;! number six which they did not have in stock and I'll just buy it online later today; after leaving the book store we promptly went to walk around Uwajimaya and we bought some natto to try out. My brother and I really wanted to try to see what natto tasted like and of course we bought a package along with a few goodies I bought for myself. My goodies added up to a crazy amount of forty bucks, but it was pretty worth it. I bought a new bento box that is two tiered along with an onigiri maker which has animal faces for it and little toothpicks of different color and variety. I also bought new chopsticks which<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/quanch/2664447050/" title="Packaged Sushi - Sakura Combo by Jestur, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3031/2664447050_dfc357eb32_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Packaged Sushi - Sakura Combo" align="right" border="1" /></a> I wanted since I only have one pair that I like myself, and the other ones are just too big for my hands [which reminds me, the chopsticks in the dim sum were horribly long and it was sooo hard to use them!]. Once we left the shopping section, we went to the bakery and bought some buns and of course the sponge cake. Who can resist some red bean paste buns and some sponge cakes? Of course, I didn't eat them because I didn't want to eat too much unhealthy today 'cause I get freaked out heh. I'll save it for next week's cheat day!</p>
<p>After our little bakery decision, we headed to the bus and got on and headed back home. Once we got home we played around for an hour and my mother and I went to the park to try my new Polar RS200; it wasn't a waste of money at all. Though I need to buy and XS strap probably, the small strap stayed well if I hiked it up a lot and sagged only every mile or so. It was really useful and it didn't take much to get used to, it was very fun to use.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/quanch/2663613763/" title="咸水角 - Dim Sum by Jestur, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2663613763_73aafa6c61_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="咸水角 - Dim Sum" align="left" border="1"></a> After our little run, my mom talking on the phone, we went to WalMart to pick up some food and I got a Luna Bar Chocolate Peppermint Stick; it was so good and it was like eating a cookie. I felt so guilty eating it but it was so good and I checked the nutrition label like twenty times; I'm pretty sure the people in the store walking by thought I was crazy comparing labels. Hehe. I guess I'm just that way. </p>
<p>I'd like to say sorry to people who were reading my blog I just got busy and I was not able to update for a while. Keep watching and stay tuned!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Het is nooit in me opgekomen dat er mensen dezelfde problemen ondervinden als ik. Op deze leeftijd proberen wij allemaal te ontdekken wie onze echte vrienden zijn en vooral wie niet. Het blijkt dat mijn zoektocht verfilmd is, jawel Lauren Conrad en ik zitten precies inhetzelfde schuitje. We hebben alletwee vriendinnen waarvan we hopen dat ze net zo aardig en lief zullen zijn als wijzelf, naar onze maatstaven ( die dan weer wel van elkaar verschillen, dat wel).</p>
<p><strong>The Hills = The Chicks?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lauren/ Blogschrijver</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/alexxshannon/laulau.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="268" /></p>
<p>Altijd op zoek naar liefde lol en een vriendelijk gesprek. Denkt veel aan haar vrienden en familie. Komt op voor haar principes. Alsways looking for a laugh. Misschien, heel misschien is ze voor haar vriendinnen wel bijna net zo streng als voor haarzelf, maar hey? Hoe moet de vriendschap anders forever lasten?</p>
<p><strong>Heidi 1/ Minnie</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.olografix.org/krees/dfnet/pic/relat/heidimontag.jpg" alt="" width="252" height="223" /></p>
<p>Er zijn twee personen die samen Heidi vormen, één ervan is dus Minnie. Wordt helemaal opgeslokt door haar "vriendje" die zó cool is. Laat alle andere vriendinnen vallen en wil alleen nog maar afspreken op gelegenheden waarbij zíj moet laten zien dat ze toch nog wel vriendinnen heeft buiten de vrienden van haar vriendje om.<br />
<strong>Heidi 2/Char</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/heidi_bday1.jpg" alt="" width="274" height="420" /></p>
<p>Spendeert opzich niet zo heel veel tijd aan haar vriendje. Verraad wel iedereen, ze gaat zelf vreemd (Heidi 1 kan er ook wat van), maar kijkt je raar aan als je iets "negatiefs" zegt over háár vriendje. Verder is ze heel erg bezig om zich te vergelijken met andere vriendinnen, vooral met de dunste, de rijkste en gewoon de leukste. Maakt daarom wel vaak een jaloerse indruk, die ze dus altijd ontkent. Het vreemde aan deze situatie vind ik dat ze waarschijnlijk nooit een BF heeft gehad. Ze weet daarom niet hoe ze hier mee om moet gaan.</p>
<p><strong>Jen Bunny/ Char</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cnnsi.com/2007/images/12/04/bunny.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Ook voldoet Char aan de Jen Bunny eigenschappen. Haarvriendje opstoken tegenover vriendinnen, zodat zij er beter uitkomt. Nooit een compliment doorvertellen. Backstabben.<br />
Ook Minnie valt onder Jen net als Char, dit omdat de backstabbing business er één is waarin zij flink zaken doen.<br />
Lauren gaf Jen een diamanten ketting op haar verjaardag, nóg presteert Jen het om er met Brody vandoor te gaan.</p>
<p><strong>Audrina</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.mtv.com/onair/the_hills/season_3/assets/images/flipbooks/cast/audrina/01_Audrina_003.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="255" /></p>
<p>Dat is duidelijk Mallory. Ze is lief, gaat soms met foute types om, maar dat maakt haar niet veel minder lief.</p>
<p><strong>LO/Steef</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080328/hills/Lo-Bosworth_l.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="192" /><br />
Wel een redelijk goede vriendin, showt up op gelegenheden waar het moet, valt lekker mee te kletsen. De vraag die in mij opkomt is of vriendschappen die soms saai of vanzelfsprekend lijken, omdat ze al zolang duren degene zijn waar je aan het einde van de dag het meeste aan hebt?</p>
<p><strong>Brody Jenner</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/brody-jenner-teen-vogue-young-hollywood-party-Xn0H7c.jpg" alt="" width="242" height="372" /></p>
<p>Gerben zou ik zeggen, maar er zijn ook wat andere opties.</p>
<p><strong>Jason</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.cosmogirl.com/cm/cosmogirl/images/jason-wahler-sep07-med.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Dat is duidelijk G.</p>
<p><strong>Spencer Pratt</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/spencer-pratt-heidi-montag-celebrates-her-21st-birthday-september-15-2007-1KjkXt.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="372" /></p>
<p>Duidelijk Fos en Nathaniël. Alletwee voelen ze zich bedreigd. Zal het door de prominente rol van Lauren komen?</p>
<p>Mijn favoriet heb ik nog niet besproken én ben ik nog steeds niet tegengekomen.<br />
<img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tokyo_shimmer/pic/0004dspq" alt="" width="273" height="210" /></p>
<p><strong>Justin Bobby </strong>(hier samen met Audrina op de foto) is een qua uiterlijk een kerel om helemaal verliefd op te worden. Zal ik de Nederlandse versie hier ooit van tegenkomen? Eigenlijk zou er een combinatie van deze Hills mannen moeten bestaan.<br />
Het karakter van Brody, het uiterlijk van Justin/Bobby, het Sexappael van Justin en helemaal niks van Spencer bah bah.</p>
<p>Of de Hills nu in scene is gezet of niet, het blijft briljant.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-68" style="vertical-align:top;" src="http://richardikeda.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/java-orangebox.gif" alt="" width="164" height="165" /></p>
<p><strong>Tipos Primitivos. </strong></p>
<p>Sabendo declarar variáveis  de acordo com as necessidades de seu programa você pode economizar memória e ter melhor desempenho no seu programa.</p>
<p>Hoje vou mostrar alguns exemplos de declarações, e quais são os tipos primitivos</p>
<p>.<br />
<!--more--><br />
<strong>Tipos Primitivos Numéricos:</strong></p>
<p><strong>byte</strong>,<br />
armazena informações até 8bits (1 - byte),sendo assim valores de -128 até 127 do tipo Inteiro.<br />
Se você não precisar usar valores maiores ou menores que esse, é recomendado para economizar memória.</p>
<p>Exemplo de declaração com byte:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong> byte</strong> zxc;<br />
<strong>byte</strong> cxz = '2';<br />
<strong> byte</strong> xzc = 120;<br />
<strong> byte</strong> zxc1 = 0xA;<br />
<strong> byte</strong> zeroo = 0;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong> Short</strong>,<br />
pode armazenar informações de até 16 bits(2 - bytes), permitindo um limite de -32.786 até 32.767 do tipo inteiro.</p>
<p>Exemplo de declaração com byte:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>short</strong> st;<br />
<strong> short</strong> st1 = -3256;<br />
<strong> short</strong> st2 = 0XBB;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong> int</strong>,<br />
este é o mais utilizado, nos posts anteriores o int ja foi usado, ele permite armazenar informações até 32 bits (4 - bytes) de tal forma tem o limite de -2.147.483.648 até 2.147.483.647.</p>
<p>Exemplos com int:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong> int</strong> zxc;<br />
<strong> int</strong> zxc1 = 647;<br />
<strong> int</strong> zxc2 = 0XA;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Long</strong>,<br />
é recomendado quando o int não suporta a quantidade de informações que você está usando, o long tem 64 bits(8 - Bytes). Suportando o limite de -9.223.372.036.854.775.808 a 9.223.372.036.854.775.807 do tipo inteiro.</p>
<p>Exemplos com Long:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>long</strong> zxc;<br />
<strong> long </strong>zxc1 = 90501;<br />
<strong> long</strong> zxc2 = -320;</p></blockquote>
<p>--------------------------</p>
<p><strong>Números do tipo Rea</strong>l</p>
<p><strong>float</strong>,<br />
com este é possível armazenar números reais simples, de 32 bits(4 - bytes) de informação representando um número real.</p>
<p>*Importante para evitar que seja considerado um double ou um erro seja inserido um f ou F após o numero.</p>
<p>Exemplos de declarações float:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>float</strong> as1 = -32.0f;<br />
<strong> float</strong> as2 = 32.2F;<br />
<strong> float</strong> as3 = 32.455f;<br />
<strong> float</strong> as4 = 1.32455e4f;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong> double</strong>,<br />
declarações desse tipo são capaz de armazenar números reais de precisão dupla, ou seja, 64  bits(8 bytes) do tipo real. Com o double a precisão é maior que a de float.</p>
<p>*da mesma maneira que serva para o float é preciso colocar uma letra no final dos números declarados no caso d.</p>
<p>Exemplos:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>double</strong> blz1 = -32.0;<br />
<strong> double</strong> blz2 = 852.21234567891011d;<br />
<strong> double</strong> blz3 = 29.45D;<br />
<strong> double</strong> blz4 = 2.32455e4D;</p></blockquote>
<p>--------------------------</p>
<p><strong>Tipos primitivo de caracteres</strong></p>
<p><strong>char</strong>,<br />
se pode armazenar 16 bits representando caracteres no formato UTF-16 (dois caracteres de 8 bits).<br />
Se char for representado numericamente ele suporta de 0 ate 65535. Em outra maneira de '\u0000' a '\uffff'</p>
<p>Exemplos de declarações:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>char</strong> carac = 'A' ;//caarctere A<br />
<strong> char</strong> carac2 = '\u0042';//caractere b<br />
<strong> char</strong> carac8 = '\u0022';//aspas (double quote - " )</p></blockquote>
<p>--------------------------</p>
<p><strong>Tipo primitivo lógico</strong></p>
<p><strong>boolean,</strong><br />
Retornaum literal lógico. Armazena um bit de informação apenas o qual é representado por false (falso) ou true (verdadeiro).</p>
<p>Exemplos:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>boolean</strong> ativo = false;<br />
<strong> boolean</strong> desativado = true;</p></blockquote>
<p>Faça o teste no eclipse e compare:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>public class</strong> teste {<br />
<strong> public static void</strong> main(String[] args) {</p>
<p><strong>byte</strong> zxc=0;<br />
<strong> byte</strong> cxz = '2';<br />
<strong> byte</strong> xzc = 127;<br />
<strong> byte</strong> zxc1 = 0xA;<br />
<strong> short</strong> st = 0;<br />
<strong> short </strong>st1 = -3256;<br />
<strong> short </strong>st2 = 0XBB;<br />
<strong> int </strong>zxca = 0;<br />
<strong> int </strong>zxcs = 647;<br />
<strong> int</strong> zxcd = 0XA;<br />
<strong> long</strong> zxcw='a';<br />
<strong> long</strong> zxcq = 90501;<br />
<strong> long</strong> zxce = -320;<br />
<strong> float</strong> as1 = -32.01234f;<br />
<strong> float</strong> as2 = 32.2F;<br />
<strong> float</strong> as3 = 32.455f;<br />
<strong> float</strong> as4 = 1.32455e4f;<br />
<strong> double</strong> blz1 = -32010.0;<br />
double blz2 = 852.21234567891011d;<br />
double blz3 = 32.455D;<br />
double blz4 = 2.32455e4D;<br />
char carac = 'A' ;//caarctere A<br />
char carac2 = '\u0042';//caractere b<br />
char carac8 = '\u0022';//aspas (double quote - " )<br />
boolean ativo = false;<br />
boolean desativo = true;</p>
<p>System.out.println(<br />
"byte "    +zxc+"\n"+<br />
"byte "    +cxz+"\n"+<br />
"byte "    +xzc+"\n"+<br />
"byte "    +zxc1+"\n"+<br />
"short "+st+"\n"+<br />
"short "+st1+"\n"+<br />
"short "+st2+"\n"+<br />
"int "    +zxca+"\n"+<br />
"int "    +zxcs+"\n"+<br />
"int "    +zxcd+"\n"+<br />
"long "    +zxcw+"\n"+<br />
"long "    +zxcq+"\n"+<br />
"long "    +zxce+"\n"+<br />
"float "+as1+"\n"+<br />
"float "+as2+"\n"+<br />
"float "+as3+"\n"+<br />
"float "+as4+"\n"+<br />
"Double "+blz1+"\n"+<br />
"Double "+blz2+"\n"+<br />
"Double "+blz3+"\n"+<br />
"Double "+blz4+"\n"+<br />
"Double "+carac+"\n"+<br />
"Double "+carac2+"\n"+<br />
"Double "+carac8+"\n"+<br />
"Boolean "+ativo+"\n"+<br />
"Boolean "+desativo+"\n"<br />
);<br />
}</p>
<p>}</p></blockquote>
<p>Agora é só usar adequadamente com as declarações dos tipos primitivos, bom programa.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Due to the actions of a group known as BCH, or Back Country Hillbillies, an initiative has been spawned to ban improper snowmobiling in unapproved areas.</p>
<p>Citing safety concerns, and improper conduct, regulation has been proposed in order to prohibit the unsafe practices and unapproved activities.</p>
<p>Authorities have reported in the past that sledding in improper areas has been a problem and is being monitored.</p>
<p>Problems include traversal of unapproved areas, safety concerns, reckless operation of vehicles, pollution of pristine wilderness areas, garbage left, alcoholic impairment, and noise complaints.</p>
<p>There is now a push for Legislation which would regulate and limit sledding and snowmobiling off-trail and off-road and in unapproved areas. </p>
<p>The issue will be brought up to Members of Parliament and provincial legislators in order to review possible regulation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been pondering just how I want to use this Blog. I have set it up with a modest amount of anonymity, so I think I can post without breaking any traditions about recovery.</p>
<p>So, here we go. There is certainly a TON of stuff on the Web that is about recovery. I thought I might sift through that and share my experiences.</p>
<p>Instead of going right to all the information that is on the Web, let's start with something interactive. Over the last few days, I have been participating in an online AA meeting. Pretty good concept. With all the tools available out there, it should be a slam-dunk to get something like this running. The people who administer the <a href="http://www.aaonline.net/chat2/guests.php" target="_blank">AA Online Net</a> chat site have done about a good a job as any. (I like this Blog format, but it sure does a lousy job of highlighting links...)</p>
<p>Once you give yourself a screen name and log in, the chat client fires up. The right side has a listing of the rooms, though the first one is the main meeting. Clicking on that takes you into the meeting chat itself. Very nice Java client. Easy and fairly intuitive to use. There are usually some regulars hanging out even if there is no meeting in progress. Just like at a live meeting, there is general conversation going on. I found the group generally welcoming and helpful. Sometimes, if the topic hasn't been already decided, there is some discussion about what the topic should be and a sort of straw vote.</p>
<p>The meetings are run in an approximate way to a regular AA meeting. There is an announcement that the meeting will begin and that the &#34;Meeting Protocol&#34; is in effect. This prevents crosstalk and other annoyances. The Chair opens the meeting with some general announcements and then the Serenity Prayer. The person selected to give the lead begins. Once the lead is over, a person can request to share by typing a &#34;!&#34;.</p>
<p>It really felt like a meeting. People generally adhered to the protocol. The sharing was excellent.</p>
<p>There also exists the ability to either &#34;whisper&#34; to someone (your post is only displayed to the person you select) or you can go into a private chat.</p>
<p>There seems to be anywhere from 30 to 60 people logged into a given meeting. Usually time permits about 6 to 8 to share.</p>
<p>Here is a meeting for when you can't get to a meeting. Give it a try at <a title="AA Online Net" href="http://www.aaonline.net/chat2/guests.php" target="_blank">AAOnline.net</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Para quem nunca experimentou um RPG online, esse estilo de game tem uma peculiaridade específica: todos os jogadores compartilham um único mundo. Você é obrigado a jogar conectado à Internet - mas quando está em um lugar específico do mundo, verá TODOS os outros jogadores do servidor que estão no mesmo lugar.</p>
<p>E é exatamente isso que traz tantos ao mundo de Rune-Midgar: amigos podem unir forças para enfrentar monstros juntos, criar guildas, disputar batalhas contra outros jogadores - tudo isso em um mundo que existe 24 horas por dia, esteja você jogando ou não.</p>
<p>"Ragnarök Online" é distribuido gratuitamente - você apenas para uma mensalidade para continuar freqüentando o mundo (apesar de poder testar o game gratuitamente por algum tempo). O game ganha novas atualizações de tempos em tempos, adicionando novas classes de personagens e mapas, tudo isso sem custar nenhum centavo extra ao consumidor.</p>
<p>Ao entrar pela primeira vez, você precisa criar um personagem (escolhendo sexo, nome e aparência), para então passar por uma série de missões que permitem você adotar profissões como gatuno, espadachim, mago e muito mais. Cada uma delas oferece habilidades especiais, que podem ser destravadas com ganho de experiência em combate ou ao completar determinadas jornadas. O sistema de batalha é tão intuitivo quanto o de "Diablo".</p>
<p>Como Rune-Midgard é repleta de tesouros raros, jogadores são incentivados a explorar seus calabouços em busca de armas poderosas e itens mágicos. Esses podem ser usados para melhorar as capacidades de combate ou vendidas e trocadas nos centros urbanos desse mundo virtual. Como sempre, a interação com outros jogadores é vital.</p>
<p>Então prepare sua conexão e prepare-se para o fim do mundo como o conhecemos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gugma 'til your Heart's Surrender. my first, my last and probably my only entry about --Gugma. i can afford to be as sappy and mushy as i want. *blush</p>
<p>Gugma doesn't deserve an iota of my attention right now because it sucked me dry. yup, completely, totally, utterly, downright dessicated But, let me just say, my heart is beating okay. i don't want it in my life (for now). i don't want it in my heart or in any organ for that matter. i simply don't ask for it in any part of me. it doesn't feel good anymore. it just doesn't. I can’t decide what to feel or how to feel... there's just so many too many shades of grey.</p>
<p>Gugma is a necessary emotion. i like love. Gugma is like whoa! but then shit starts happening and now  it's an upsetting, confusing, embarrassing, uncertain, and exhausting matter. but hey, sometimes it's a happy kind of confusion and exhaustingly good. you see, i'm not that bitter :) i've always retained the ecstasy of first love or the ecstasy of first hardcore infatuation.</p>
<p>still, it lives and dies. You win, but you lose, is all im saying. i care less.</p>
<p>then again, what do i know? Gugma is still a theory for me yet to be proven true. charrrr! seriously! where you at cupid?!?  I’m still sappy, still cheesy, still a hopeless romantic.</p>
<p>amazingly, this loveless state of mine isn't getting me down. and, in all honesty, i sport a genuine smile today because this is what i know, chocolate is love! and puppies (pure wisdom of aisha tyler). in addition, music is love! and ice cream is the key to inner happiness.</p>
<p>so there, let it be known that i'm moving on... further... followed, hopefully, by my own happily ever after.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: i don't want love right now but i find that i'm constantly in like  though :)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="NAB - Home" href="http://northatlanticbooks.com/" target="_blank">North Atlantic Books</a>’ author <a title="Casson Trenor" href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=92146" target="_blank">Casson Trenor</a> of the upcoming and highly anticipated book <a title="NAB - Sustainable Sushi" href="http://northatlanticbooks.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781556437694" target="_blank"><em><strong>Sustainable Sushi: A Guide for a Changing Planet</strong></em></a> (due for publication in January, 2009) is a leading expert in sustainable ocean management. He is currently featured in the May 6, 2008 issue of the<em> Oakland Tribune</em> in an article entitled “<a title="The Oakland Tribune - EcoChef" href="http://www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_9170929?IADID=Search-www.insidebayarea.com-www.insidebayarea.com" target="_blank">EcoChef: Preserving Fisheries is a Matter of Choice</a>.”</p>
<p><a title="Casson Trenor" href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=90468" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-45" style="vertical-align:top;margin:2px;" src="http://northatlanticbooks.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/casson-trenor2.jpg?w=199" alt="Casson Trenor Headshot" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>When it comes to eating at restaurants, consumers have to be even more wary. Many establishments now claim environmental awareness, but if you look closely at what they are offering, you might find something different. Casson Trenor is the author of the upcoming book "<a title="NAB - Sustainable Sushi" href="http://northatlanticbooks.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781556437694" target="_blank"><strong><em>Sustainable Sushi: A Guide For a Changing Planet</em></strong></a>" (North Atlantic Books, 2009) and director of FishWise, an industry certifying organization. According to Trenor, there are two points of view in the seafood industry. Some groups realize that the industry is currently unsustainable, and are doing everything in their power to change those damaging practices. However, there are other groups that will sell anything to stay in business, including unsustainable fish. Unfortunately, Trenor says, "In the long run they are cutting their own throats."</p>
<p>Top Choices For Sustainable California Seafood:<br />
1. Dungeness Crab<br />
2. Black Rockfish<br />
3. Pacific Sardines<br />
4. Pacific Albacore Tuna<br />
5. White Seabass (King Croaker)<br />
Also recommended are Alaskan Wild Salmon and Alaskan Halibut instead of local populations.<br />
For farmed fish:<br />
1. Arctic Char (an excellent salmon replacement)<br />
2. Striped Bass<br />
3. Tilapia (from U.S.)<br />
4. Catfish (from U.S.)<br />
5. Shellfish: Oysters, Clams, Mussels, Abalone<br />
Avoid farmed salmon and shrimp.</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Casson Trenor" href="http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=92146" target="_blank">Casson Trenor</a> holds an M.A. in International Environmental Policy from the <a title="Monterey Institute of International Studies" href="http://www.miis.edu/" target="_blank">Monterey Institute of International Studies</a> and is currently the Business Development Director for <a title="FishWise" href="http://www.fishwise.org/" target="_blank">FishWise</a>. Trenor is a sushi aficionado and has been so since a very young age. From saving the whales of the Antarctic to studying the salmon of Alaska, Trenor has worked to understand and analyze sustainable ways to manage the resources of our oceans.  In thousands of conversations with fishermen around the world, he has heard one statement repeated: “The fish are gone.” Trenor has worked on environmental or fishery management issues in all five oceans and in more seas than he can name. Trenor was born in Seattle and is currently a resident of San Francisco.</p>
