Hi All: I have greatly enjoyed using "Story Sticks" www.StorySticks.net in our kids Sunday School.
Many Bible stories using these sticks have already been published by Rev. Barney Kinard (see the above web site above) including those where Jesus or the Bible character being discussed made either good or very bad choices. This would include Fall-Adam and Eve Sin; Samson and Delilah, The Prodigal Son, Temptation of Jesus, Wise and Foolish Builder and The Good Samaritan.
Soooo, the next time I use Story Sticks for any of the above stories, I am going to start out the routine with the kids using the old as the hills "Magician's Choice" or "Hot Rod" color selection. I purchased for $7.29 from Office Depot/Office Max 6 different colored "Post-It" Notes- "Rio De Janeiro Collection" by 3M, Cat. # 622-6SSAU. Then, I cut down the Post-It Notes a little bit so they would fit on the top Story Stick (not going over the width of the Stick). I am using Post-It Notes so no color trace will be left on the Stick from a Crayon or marker after use or having to peel off with my finger nail a colored paper sticker after completing the trick/set up.
So in short, I place on the first Story Stick six different colored "Post-It" notes with the green Post-It in the third position from the right, fourth position from the left. On the second Story Stick below, I stuck on 6 all green Post-It Notes. So green is the "force color".
Set Up Routine: "Today Girls and Boys I am going to show you something SPELLBINDING... I hope. I hope we learn something as well. When someone says a book or movie is SPELLBINDING- they mean it is really good! Joey/Jenny (whatever the child's name you pick)- Pick ANY number between 0-7! Secretly tell the Johnny (the kid sitting next to you) the number. So zero and seven are out, but 1-2-3-4-5 or 6 are okay. Make sure I don't hear it! Have you done that? We did not arrange this in advance, did we?, it was your number you picked on your own."
"Here I have my top Story Stick with six brightly colored Post-It Notes on it. What is the number you picked?" If the child says three or four, you count from the right end of the Stick or the left end of the Stick to end up on the green Post-It Note.
If the child picks 1, 2, 5 or 6: I/the performer says: "As I said before this is going to be a SPELLBINDING trick- so we are going to SPELL the number chosen by Joey and see where it lands on the Stick." Then I purposely mis-spell the word: Such as S-I-X-X- the kids will yell out- you spelled it wrong! I then say: "I toldya we'd learn something- how do you spell six?" Then, spelling from the correct side of the stick, I end up on the green Post-It Note.
"So Joey selected the color green. That's one of my favorite colors. When the grass and the trees becomes green outside, it means Spring is here! Green means Go! When someone is new or fresh on a new job, they will call the newbie person "green". I love my green shirt and tie! (which I will be wearing). So chosing green was a great choice! But sometimes when another class mate does very well with school grades or on the play ground, others may become green with envy! That is a bad choice, for rather than being jealous, we should instead be happy for that friend getting good grades or cheer them on as you continue to play in a game together. We should do until others as we would like them to treat us. That is what Jesus taught in His Sermon on the Mount." (Matthew 7:12).
"Well let's take a look at the second Stick below!" Reveal the six all green Post-It Notes, but "fake" being very careful not to show any other Sticks. "Wow! They are all green!" (act real suspicious, fidget with the Sticks keeping them all lined up).
"What? What? Do any of you think I have other colors on the other Sticks? You do? Me?..." Then show the other Sticks (both sides) to prove that there are no other Post-It Notes. You can them peel off all the Post-It Notes or leave them there- just turn the entire Story Sticks set over so the side facing the audience has no notes on it.
"We just learned about the importance of making the right choice. Did you know there is a Bible story about ________ (see above stories) who was faced with making either a GOOD choice that will please God as we are a reflection of Him or a BAD choice that hides God working in us?" Then proceed through the Story Stick routine as written by author Barney above. Barney suggests later on using the Story Sticks again as a followup reminder- this time with the kids themselves calling out what each Story Stick formation means/in retelling the Bible story again. Great suggestion!
I love Story Sticks. The product itself is very well made- I keep them in the mailing tube they are shipped in so they are not by mistake stepped on by me or mangled in some way in travel (they are very sturdy already). A+++++

I've known Barney a long time and am fortunate to attend LAFCM meetings with him. I am excited to see Story Sticks being widely distributed and in use by story tellers far and wide. I'm in the process of adopting them to my personal testimony as well. See how it works out.

Story Sticks instructional videos can now be purchased for $2.99 for viewing on Vimeo. The first one I bought was "The Rich Young Ruler". The story taught by Barney Kinard on this video is far more complete/longer than the one page of instructions (page 23) from "The Stories That Stick" manual. The video version is a full very complete lesson and has 22 stick positions. I charted out all 22 on a large poster board to place on the floor as my cheat sheet/cue card reminder of the various stick moves used in the story. Well worth the $2.99 to see the entire story along with a tutorial on how easily Rev. Kinard handles the sticks. It does take practice to do a routine of this length well, but it is worth it! Going to use it in Lighthouse Kids next Sunday 😊 www.StorySticks.net

A "pretty white girl" writes about Burning Man
Unpacking The Lies You Tell Yourself At Burning Man
Who knew getting hated on could be so rewarding? To date, the essay I wrote about my Burning Man experience (see above) has been read 50,000 + times. This might be normal for other writers, but since I'm usually locked away in a long form narrative, this shit never happens to me.
I've felt elated, proud, shocked, seen, and – hurt. Because there's also been a lot of backlash. By readers who hate Burning Man in general and thus hate the article (which is such a curiosity, to take the time to read AND comment on an event you've never attended but loathe intensely … Burning Man is so charged like that). And by Burners themselves who hate – well, me. Or at least what I wrote, what I represent, "everything that's going downhill about Burning Man." To get backlash from the community stings a little. Okay, a lot. I got called a Sparklepony. In Burn culture, this is very, very unflattering.
When I look back at what I wrote, in the midst of unpacking the rental van, hair ratted, bike chafed, picking playa dust out of my eyelashes, mourning the loss of my sleep schedule, hoping we wouldn't get charged a cleaning fee on the van, getting charged anyway, catching up on bills and checking in with family, yeah I cringe at how obnoxious the article is at times. But in that haze of post peak experience deadline drama, I had no time to self-censor, no time to organize my thoughts beyond a brain dump of what the experience was like inside my neurotic, self-judgmental mind.
I agree with some of the detractors. I wasn't there for my camp as much as I could've been, admitting lugging grey water in apocalyptic heat was the hardest physical labor I've ever done was a pretty embarrassing window into my privileged existence. But the comments that piss me off are the ones that refer to me as "just another pretty white girl." This means my experience isn't valid? This means I can't have a point of view?
Would it have made a difference if I'd divulged that I've spent the last year as caretaker to my very ill father? That getting to spend a week feeling alive in the desert was the antidote to our endless ER visits. And that before that I was holding space for my boyfriend when he got run over by an SUV, breaking both legs and spending months in a wheelchair. And that he and I got our Burning Man tickets as the goal on the horizon when he would walk again. And that even though we're not together anymore, my ultimate Burn highlight was when we found each other on the playa under the moon, marveling that he could not only walk but dance and ride a bike, and we held the solar shower for each other as we took little bird baths and discussed our favorite art installations.
If I'd shared all that, would it have made a difference?
Or is that just something a pretty white girl would say?
With that said, now I'll do the only thing you really can do in life: focus on the light.
In this case: the positive feedback the article has generated. Readers who've shared El Guaco-esque experiences of their own, and the owner of El Guaco himself, who found me on Facebook to say El Guaco is his playa contribution because he's an introvert and this is how he feels comfortable interacting with people.
Some other things I need to say:
–My heart is heavy for the man who ran into the fire, for his family, for those who witnessed it. I didn't address this in the article because I wanted to gently shine a light on all the other aspects of the experience. I don't have anything poetic to say about it, just had to acknowledge it.
–I love bike culture at Burning Man. It's such a return to childhood, riding around with your friends, your bike posse. It's the perfect example of the duality out there, hedonistic activities happening simultaneously as you get in touch with your inner child.
–Something needs to be said about baby wipes at Burning Man. They are a gift from heaven. That's all.
–To save face, I know I should write more about my previous Burns, in response to the commenters who wrote that it's sad I'd been 4 times and was still such a "spectator." But that's another article for another time. And I'm pretty ready to be done with Burning Man for the year.
The last thing I want to say is I've had haters before. I wrote a sex column for a semester in college that was so divisive I got both applauded by my First Amendment and Society professor, and nearly kicked out of school. Being the center of such turmoil was thrilling, and embarrassing. It was right after my mom's death and I was in a very "fuck it" place in my life. I'd be lying if I said the backlash didn't affect me deeply. I wanted to hide for the entire year following. What's changed in ten years? Then I was writing for shock affect, this time I was authentically expressing myself and my experience. I think I just have a somewhat salacious way of moving through life. I've also had ten years of rejection and disappointment to get me primed.
Okay, controversy. Okay, Burning Man. I've said all I can say. I'm done. For the year. Or longer. Or not.
I'm Jew-ish (Part 1)
Last Thursday was Thanksgiving, and for the first time in 125 years, it was also Hanukkah. This mash-up of American tradition and Judaic celebration is a good representation of yours truly, a girl whose dad is Jewish and mom was culturally Christian. Thus, I'm Jew-ish.
I could relate to the centerpiece decoration at our feast, pilgrim figurines situated under a Star of David, a mixture of two cultures. I enjoy being a hybrid. I've celebrated both Passover and Christmas every year of my enitre life. I've equally loved Christmas Eve church services (if I'm honest it's the candles during "Silent Night" that keep me going back), and the parsley dipped in saltwater during Passover (to symbolize the tears of our ancestors in slavery). I love the story of baby Jesus being born in a manger to remind myself to be humble, and that upon mentioning the Ten Plagues during Seder, we poor wine out of our glasses ten separate times to demonstrate that we will not raise a glass to the suffering of the Egyptians, though they did our ancestors harm.
I gain wisdom from the stories from these religions, but my relationship with God has been a separate journey. More on that in future blog posts.
I want to write a series of posts on being Jew-ish, perhaps on my faith in general. To start, here's some backstory, a piece I wrote on my trip to Israel via Birthright, a free ten-day trip to the Holy Land any Jew under the age of 26 can take. Matador Travel published the article, and I'm still very proud of it. Read it here.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgivukkah, see you at the next one–in 77,798 years.

Release Number: 13-589-NEW (wh 13-040)
US Department of Labor plans for new blueberry season with continued enforcement initiative
2012 enforcement effort resulted in more than $100,000 in back wages, penalties
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division is continuing its multiyear enforcement initiative in New Jersey's blueberry industry, where it has previously found consistent and widespread labor violations. Blueberries are a significant commodity for New Jersey.
The division is committed to ensuring that workers employed in this industry are provided the workplace protections and wages to which they are entitled under federal law. Initiative efforts this year will focus on informing workers of their rights and increasing labor law compliance among blueberry growers, farm labor contractors and other related agricultural operations.
The division's Southern New Jersey District Office conducted 32 investigations of agricultural industry employers during the 2012 blueberry harvest. The division found violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act and provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act related to field sanitation and temporary labor camps. These violations resulted in more than $80,000 in back wages due to more than 850 workers, as well as the assessment of approximately $25,000 in civil money penalties.
The most frequent violations resulted from workers being charged for items, such as meals, snacks, and energy and sports drinks, in amounts well above what the employers—mostly farm labor contractors—paid for them. This reduced the workers' wages below the wage owed, in violation of the MSPA. Other common violations of the MSPA and OSH Act include failing to disclose employment terms and conditions to workers; failing to maintain required employment and payroll records; failing to register as farm labor contractors; failing to obtain prescribed insurance coverage for transportation vehicles; allowing workers to live in unsafe housing facilities; using unsafe transportation vehicles; and failing to provide adequate field sanitation. FLSA violations resulted in some workers being denied proper overtime pay and one farm's improper employment of an individual under age 12.
"Farm labor contractors and other agricultural employers cannot pay wages to workers and then take a portion of those wages back through excessive charges for food and drink. This is essentially a kickback scheme that deprives workers of their rightful wages," said Patrick Reilly, director of the division's Southern New Jersey District Office, which conducted the investigations and is located in Lawrenceville. "A key focus of our initiative is to educate employers about their legal responsibilities and to promote voluntary compliance with federal labor laws. By working with stakeholders, such as the New Jersey Farm Bureau, we are able to expand the reach of our compliance assistance efforts and help foster a vibrant and compliant local agricultural industry."
As part of the initiative, investigators will continue to visit fields and packing houses throughout New Jersey during the 2013 harvest season to assess compliance among facility owners, growers, farm labor contractors and other business entities providing services to agricultural operations. Thorough inspections of migrant housing units, transportation vehicles, employer practices and pay records will be conducted to ensure compliance with all applicable agricultural labor standards. When violations are found, the division will pursue corrective action, including litigation and the assessment of civil money penalties, to recover workers' wages and ensure accountability under the law.
The division will also continue to provide compliance assistance to employers and industry organizations and is reaching out to workers, community organizations and other stakeholders to encourage their participation in promoting industrywide compliance.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Workers who are not employed in agriculture and not otherwise exempt from overtime compensation are entitled to time and one-half their regular rates of pay for every hour they work beyond 40 per week. The law also requires employers to maintain accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment, and prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who exercise their rights under the law.
Most agricultural employers, agricultural associations and farm labor contractors are subject to the MSPA, which provides additional protections for migrant and seasonal agricultural workers by establishing employment standards related to wages, housing, transportation, disclosures and record keeping. The MSPA also requires farm labor contractors to register with the department. Information on the MSPA is available at http://www.dol.gov/compliance/guide/mspa.htm.
The field sanitation provisions of the OSH Act require covered employers to provide workers with toilets, potable drinking water, and hand-washing facilities at no cost to the workers, and to allow reasonable use of the facilities. In addition, covered employers are required to inform workers of the importance of following certain good hygiene practices to minimize exposure to hazards in the field of heat, communicable diseases, retention of urine and agrichemical residues.
Information on federal laws concerning migrant and seasonal agricultural workers, as well as other labor laws, is available by calling the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or by visiting http://www.dol.gov/whd.

I was pleasantly surprised when this box of goodies arrived through my letter box a couple of weeks ago.
I had no idea where it came from but was in New Look packaging so guessed it was from there, a little look on the New Look site confirmed that the Gold by Giles range is indeed from New Look. I don't know how they got my details, but am very grateful. Also, if I agreed to review these products it's terribly embarrassing as I have no recollection whatsoever of doing so.
That's irrelevant anyway, what is relevant is that this is a box of make up received for review. Now I think I've swatched everything and have taken photographs of some of the item in use. This would have been a very huge post if I'd shown everything!
So anyway, Gold by Giles for New Look. The Giles in question is in fact Giles Deacon, the designer. He's pretty well known I think and I think putting his name to New Look cosmetics is a slightly odd combination because this make up is so incredibly cheap. Not that thats a bad thing as I think you'll see, but in some cases it's not a great thing either.
In terms of packaging, I like it, it looks great, it does however feel cheap. I don't mind that too much, I find the packaging to be completely in line with the pricing, it IS cheap, so of course the packaging is cheap. It looks nice though so thats fine by me.
Let's look at the brow and Eye Liner Set first. It's £2.99 for both products.
The black kohl liner has a smudger on one end, it's decently pigmented and nicely blendable without being too smeary, its decent enough and I've used it a few times actually, it really is quite a bargain I have to say.
It's the Brow Pencil I've used a lot though. I think it does a great job, the spoolie on the end is great and the colour is perfect. In any of the following pictures where you can see my brows, I'm wearing this pencil to fill in. Excellent. I can't decide whether I prefer pencil or powder at the moment and tend to mix and match but if I need a new pencil, I'll get this one.
Next, The Liquid Eyeliners in Turquoise, Gold and Black. £2.99 each.
These are great for the money, they don't last all day, but they don't transfer to my upper lid which is great, I love the turquoise shade especially. The brush is average, its not brilliant, it's just okay. Ignore the shoddy application of the gold there, that's me, not the product.
Next the Scandal Eye Shadow Quad £3.99
Love the colours in this palette I have to say, I wish I'd gone a little lighter on the blue-ish shade bottom left, but they are all fab. In terms of quality, these feel cheap, they feel exactly like the MUA eyeshadows, but they are very pigmented and actually wear very well indeed. They just have this sort of wet-ish texture about them. I've worn this a few times lately though and I'm a big fan of the colours.
Next up the cheek products…. The Metallic Blusher Set and the Bronzer. Both £2.99. Alas my bronzer arrive a bit damaged but not too badly.
I'm not sure what to say about these, they are super pigmented and VERY metallic, both of them, the bronzer is actually very gold and not all that bronze. Thats not a criticism, these are just for evening only I think.
Here's the blusher…
Gold. I don't know though, I kind of like it! Like I say though, evenings only!
Finally the lip products. I was sent the Red and Pink lipsticks, £2.99 each.
Love these, gorgeous colours, nice texture. Bargain price. Would totally be happy to buy them and may indeed check out the other shades.
Then there are Three Lip Gloss Tubes £1.99 each.
All nice, all pretty shades, the first in particular. It's an interesting method of dispensing too…you sort of pump product out onto the brush. They are all nice, nothing amazing but they are nice and as with the rest of the range an absolute bargain for the price!
Finally there are Three Lip Gloss Wands, £2.99 Each.
Love these, I don't know if they really differ formula wise from the the tubes, but I love them, the colours are beautiful, and they wear as well as any high end gloss I own.
All in all a very cheap but cheerful range. There are some absolute gems in there, like the Brow Pencil and the Lip Gloss Wands and if budget beauty is your thing, well worth checking out.

*Disclosure – PR Samples*
I'm not keen on the packaging on these. To me, New Look should be trying to compete with Topshop and these just look so boring in comparison 🙁
I went to the New Look press day today and had a play with these and I agree with every word you say x
I LOVE those lipsticks! More shades? YAY!
Look like a really good range to investigate, but everytime I venture into New Look I feel about 105!
Wow……! gorgeous stuff. I have to pick this up 🙂
Looks a bit hit and miss this collection. Think I'll have a look a the lippies though, can never have enough of them!

What people say
It is a nice play to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the City, yet close enough to get there within 15 minutes. I decided on staying at the Hard Rock Hotel at rws last year, when I saw the way the hotel was designed and dressed up. I liked the deco and the open concept bar in the lobby. Room-wise, it is functional. Families with one or two young children will like the extra pull out bed. If you join the two twin beds together, you will get a really huge bed which can easily accommodate .
all reviews »
The room was spacious with the awesomely comfortable bed.. Absolutely in love with the bathroom. Staff were friendly, always greeting me and fiance when we walked past them.. My request for a cake to be sent to the room exactly at 12midnight for my fiance's birthday was amazingly carried out by the staff. Really impressed as I thought they would probably forgotten about it. Swimming pool was fantastic, very clean. For the fact that the hotel provides sports channel as well, that is a plus point.
The staff are excellent, and very attentive. We had a conversation with the guy at check in for quite some time before actually heading to our room. The bed is ultimate comfort and the room was cosy with good air conditioning. The location of the resort is great, five minute walk to hard rock cafe and universal studios, and transport to the main city. We really enjoyed our stay here.
The man-made beach was extreme fun for the kids and they wanted to spend all their time there. The beach is well maintained and no tidal waves means added security for parents with young kids who wanted both sand and water. Location was excellent and in close proximity to main attractions.
Bed linen was very comfy, the staff very friendly and helpful. They even doesn't take 5 minutes to help with my luggage. I got non smoking and corner room as requested and that was excellent. The view straight to the pool and got big balcony. Location is next to sea, uss, and restaurant.
Superb location near the Uuniversa l Studio. Very clean and has strong design elements. Good tv stereo in the room. Great view overlooking Sentosa and the sea. Complimentary uss and Maritim museum tickets for guests checked in on certain days makes the the booking extremely economical.
We like the menu during the buffet, room is very clean, relaxing and stylish. The staff were accommodating esp Mr. Yosuff in the Cafeteria he surprised my daughter's bday by giving her a small cake w/ a candle. Simple things like this makes Hard Rock Hotel #1.
Check in and out was ok. The room was nice with good aminities. The pull our bed is good especially if u bring a young children. I think they should provide free wifi for being a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was fair and nice. Overall enjoy our stay in Hard Rock.
I have a great experience with Hard Rock Hotel Singapore. Staff was really friendly, helpful. The room was nicely decorated, clean. The beach pool was great, my toddler loves played in the pool. We had a good time stayed at this hotel.
This hotel has amazing variety pools. My daughter love its very much. In room amenities also a plus point e.g : iPod dock, extra speaker for TV, news paper. The hotel close to universal studio & SEA Aquarium.
Room is big enough and has balcony. Easy access to uss and other parks. Offers free transfer to and from Vivo city/Harbourfront station. We love the pool, its huge. Staff members are friendly and accomodating.
Excellent location, hotel staffs are friendly and check-in was fast. My wife and two kids really enjoyed and were very happy with the room that we hv stayed. Btw this was my second time staying at this hotel.
Sentosa is generally the tourist destination of Singapore. Hard Rock Hotel has an amazing man-made beach and the pool area is generally huge. The lobby is very pop-culutre and the staff are very friendly.
I arrived fairly late and had only booked a room with a view of the pool and when I got there, they upgraded me to the presidential suite, which was a very nice bonus after my 8 hour flight.
Love the pool area. Fantastic area for the kids. Location is perfect for a trip to Universal studios. Love the Sky train to Vivo shopping mall. Loved our room overlooking the dolphin pools.
The location is great, the swimming pool and the bar is really cool, staff are very friendly, with their smile all the time. It was a pleasure to stay there. ---Super fan of Hard Rock.
everything especially the package that they offering room + tickets of USS, adventure cove and marjne time museum :) so awesome for a cheap price --- we will be back again :) love it.
Room is comfortable for family stay as it has extra bed included in the room and quite spacious Beach pool is excellent for children Breakast has many variety of foods.
The facilities in the room was perfect - own coffee machine with top grade coffee and tea selection , the iPod dock to play your own songs , the massive bath tub .
The crane dance show. The swimming pool with the sand beach. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Shopping and places of interest just within walking distance.
Well linked to rest of resortworld Sentosa, and guests of hotel could enjoy discount at shop and restaurant. Swimming pool was big and cater to all ages.
The ambiance of the place & the room is real nice. Even the music being played is nice. Different from other hotels that I've stayed in before.
Hetel near Universal studio etc.. swiming pool excelllent, children will happy.. breakfast OK. TV with TV cable excellent also sound system nice.
Everything was great the accom /pool / breakfast and position of the resort was great very easy to get around. Too much to do not enough time.
I like all ficilities really very good place for anybody.I will reapt resevation whenever has a chance in foture.I recomanded it for any one.
staff very friendly & accommodative. request was given without any questions asked. I would stay again with my family. Excellent service.
Love the fact that it is within the RWS and 5mins walk to USS! And the beautiful designs with rock stars pics etc and esp the friendly staff.
Good facilities, cleanliness and decor in the room. Excellent bathroom. Good location close to all major attractions in Sentosa.
Incredible pool, great location for all Sentosa has to offer. Be sure to leave Resorts world and visit Palawan Beach, gorgeous!.
The simple yet posh interior designing of the room, the drain in the bathroom (smart design) and the view from the room.
Location is great as very central! Pool is wonderful, maybe an adults only area would be nice so no kids splashing you?.
location is perfect, near to the universal studio, also have a lot of dining locations, very convenient.
Strategic location to uss, shopping malls, beaches, casino and recreation places especially aquarium.
great staffs "heaven for smokers" with outstanding precaution to non-smokers Superb facilities.
Great location from Universal Studios. Great Pool. Amazing hotel and very comfortable rooms.
next to universal studios friendly responsive staff great pool area clean beds and bathroom.
We loved the location and the convience of where it was located so close to everything.
Nice place to stay relaxing n more convinient . Walking distance to universal studio.
Many exciting place. My 2 Taiwanese friends love it. Especially the pool. Wow! Best.
the room is super big and view is good and near all interesting place and shopping.
Good breakfast, environment is good, store many things, location very well.
Excellent Location. Next to Universal Studios and other star attractions.
The room is quite spacious with two queen sized beds and a pull out bed.
views from rooms was excellent and facilities were completely satisfying.
Friendly and helpful staff Location Swimming pool Breakfast buffet.
Rooms are big and spacious. Beds are awesome.. very comfortable.
Nice swimming pool, big room and close access to theme parks.
Good choice for parent- child trip with a nice swimming pool.
The whole experience of staying at the hotel was fantastic.
Very fast check-out. Staff are nice and helpful in overall.
There could be a security issue since outsiders can easily access the guests' floors without any keycard verification like most other hotels would have. No free WiFi, unfortunately. One of the staff at the towel counter at the pool did not know what to do when I reported that a flush in the toilet was flushing uncontrollable and was wasting water. Luckily, the concierge was able to take the information and he got the maintenance guys to fix the flush.
Long queue for checking in. Hotel should do something about this. I reached at 3pm but only got to check in at 4ish pm. Requested for early check in but no news from them.. They should also provide shuttle bus to go vivocity direct from hotel. This would be a plus point since im sure alot of tourists/locals would want to go vivo but unable to do so as its far, and if it rains, there wasnt any other way to walk to the tram station from the hotel without getting yourself wet.
Only minor things to be negative about. We ordered toast on our breakfast room service and weren't given any butter! We also called for our tray to be collected and the lady on the phone didn't understand us, she kept asking us to make an order and simply couldn't understand us.
Towels and bedding were at bare minimum (spartan),as we requested for extra towels and pillows but could only get 1 extra each. Extra ones would have made the stay even better.
The light very dim at the lobby. Breakfast menu not much variety, but the taste is good.
The hotel is in the same building with many other hotels in the sentosa resort. The building is like a maze and very hard for you to find the right direction and entrance to Hard Rock! There's no escalator from the resort's mall area to the hotel building which is quite annoying when you have heavy luggage.
Maybe free movies to watch and Wifi.
No free wifi.
Lobby a little bit dark. No free wifi & no breakfast include with room price.
No wifi access.
The bathroom design is really not very 5-star. The bathroom should always be separate/ segregated from the bedroom. I guess this was done to maximize on space but come on, you're supposed to be a high rated hotel. Don't sell yourself short for the bathroom.
Hard pillows.
--- its far away from the center city but who cares if you just want to stay at sentosa??.
The Television in the room was not working well The toilet seat don't have eco washer The room is not too clean, it's a bit dusty.
The staff could be a little friendlier to the locals . Yes it could be because few locals actually book a room in this hotel but it would be good to have the same treatment towards foreigners .
Hallways were dimly lit. No bathtub.
Price too high... try to get price with package ticket to USS etc..
That we only stayed 2 nights not longer.
nothing that I didn't like about this place.
The checkin was very very slow due to room not ready! We only got into the room at 5pm though we checked in at 1pm!they should at least offer some complimentary drinks.
Dark corridor. Staff not very helpful in guiding about activities around the hotel ( maybe it was a busy season). Breakfast buffet had very restrictive choices.
Not well signposted from MRT station. Restaurant not well designed for an incredibly busy breakfast service. No free WiFi.
Breakfast not included, pool bar closes too early and far walk from the lift to the room.
3pm check in had only 1 receptionists and a queue of people trying to check in. Our room was not ready at 3pm check-in. Perhaps more staff at pool bar as service was slow!.
the rest room is a little bit smaller, comparing to the five-stars hotel standard.
Check in lobby is rather too dim.
no free wifi.
lacking halal food, only a few inside universal studio.
The price of food and beverages in the hotel.
No free shutter bus for local to go out to other place out from Sentosa.
so expensive.
Breakfast has very limited options.
The bathroom mixer.
chargeable wifi.
Room too small Cleanliness.
Carpets needs a bit more cleaning.
1. No free wifi. 2. Three times I tried to call the front desk (twice to change a bulb, and once to arrange a wake up call) there was no answer.
Double-bed room was not available even though I booked it.
The directed access to hotel from Sentosa Express is going through staircase which is very inconvenient to guests, or you have to pass through the exhibition centre which is very poorly demonstrated. Very dim lighting which is not suitable for family with children but good for couples, honeymoon.

Why was marijuana outlawed to begin with?
Thanks for this. It seems we are finally making progress in some areas, but the federal laws and treaty obligations regarding hemp are going to be a minefield for years to come. The filling of our "prisons for profit" with small time pot users is a tragedy that will have negative effects until we reverse our course and start using reason in the passage of our laws.
From memory the film 'Grass' touched on this, ironically paranoia induced fear of Mexican migrant workers.
Trust me, whatever the current rationale, that's still the reason.
Maybe I'm just a cynic but I thought the 'war on drugs' had only profit taking as a goal. Sure, there has been government and private propaganda that played in to racial fears, social stigma, and religious moralities but who paid for that propaganda?
Keeping competitive natural drugs off the market benefits a few groups as does making sure your nylon, paper, and oil interests are kept secure via prohibition of the competition.
These days, there are billions of dollars to be made in keeping private prisons full and DEA agents well paid. Prohibition is an industry, and a profitable one to boot.
Ever wonder why pot is illegal in California? Some might say its because the illegal side of the market has too much to loose to allow it to be sold in a free market.
Just ask yourself who benefits from the system and you will see why it is illegal.
it's a french word. US executed all the french words.
Well that's kind of crazy, any government would make far more out of consumption and taxation.
so really don't think it's that. "Really" it's another of those so called "moral" crusades.
According to the 1985 book on the history of cannabis, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, it was the cotton fiber industry that started the campaign to stop hemp fiber production after the invention of the hemp mill (pre-WWII). After a short legalization in WWII to help in the war effort, the cotton and the new poly fiber industry piled on to outlaw the plant. Sure the book is a pot-head's history with some/several inaccuracies, but make sense in context with propaganda like Refer Madness, and hyperbole like your quote from Harry. I just hope this trend toward legalization will also lead to a rise in hemp-based fiber products. I would imagine that hemp paper would be cheaper and have less impacts on our lands than wood pulp. We shall see…
But then those taxes might go to "blah" people, and not the fine upstanding moral characters who take jobs at the DEA or have businesses and contracts that support this pointless nonsense.
Wrongly classifying the thing he's talking about, and lying about what it does – good thing his DEA successors never followed THAT trend!
It must be buried in the oath for that office. "I hereby promise to toe the corporate line on marijuana, suppress studies counter to the established policy, and vacillate with every fibre of my being when brought before Congress. So help me [insert deity]."
Sure…but at what cost? I don't want my teenage daughter getting knocked up by some pant-sagging, dope-smoking rapper…
It's easy (is it easy?) to accept that the initial motivation for prohibition was as stupid and evil as the motivation for its continuation.
It's chilling to consider that the prison-industrial complex so quickly caught the bug for the enslavement of minorities.
That sounds a little wrong. The prison industrial complex grew out of the industry of slavery pretty much directly, so perhaps it is the bug in this metaphor…
I just want to point out that, to Anslinger's audience, apparently the only thing worse than a white woman seeking sexual congress with "any others" (presumably meaning anybody handy) was that they might seek sex with a negro or an entertainer <clutches pearls>.
That had to be part of Errol Flynn's appeal, I'm thinking… oh, those sinful pot-smoking Hollywood heartthrobs, they's takin' our wimmin!
Given the more-or-less-immediate postbellum embrace of mass criminalization and prison labor leasing, it was less of a 'caught the bug' and more of a 'designed as a substitute when the original was outlawed'.
There have been innovations, though. 'Civil' forfeiture (in addition to producing an endless stream of cases with really wacky names) was a stroke of malign brilliance…
I'm no expert but I believe that even being 'out of work' was a crime, punishable by jail time.
@Charleston_Chu : Smoking pot lowers sperm count. So in that regard legalization is in your interest too!
No need to imagine. It's known that hemp produces at least 4-5 times as much paper per acre and year. Also hemp paper has better properties than wood paper. Check out how well the declaration of independence survived the years. It is written on hemp paper.
Other things were hemp is better than the things we use now is building materials (google "hempcrete"), insulation and some oils.
You mean "freedom words".

Hatred of Israel is Jew Hatred
Hatred of Israel is Jew Hatred: It Has Nothing to Do with the Jerusalem Embassy America is under attack from both internal and external forces guided by Islamic extremism. Monday, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant, Akayed Ullah, detonated an unsuccessful suicide bomb in my hometown subway system. This is the second terror attack in Manhattan in the last six weeks. On Halloween, eight were murdered in a Grand Theft Auto style killing rampage by Sayfullo Saipov who murdered eight cyclists by running them over on a bike path with a flatbed truck. Though the extent of the collusion with the organization is a bit fuzzy, both incidents were connected to ISIS, Read moreMore Details

Jerusalem is Israel's Eternal Capital
Trump controversially "provoked" Muslims across the world by declaring what US policy has always claimed, that it recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Just five months ago Senate passed a bill 90–0 that Jerusalem would be recognized as Israel's undivided capital. It has been a law since the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, that America plans to move its embassy to the nation's capital Jerusalem. Clinton, George W. and Obama spent 21 years appeasing Palestine by not fulfilling the rule of law. Unsurprisingly, as with every decision Trump has ever made, the press is calling him a lunatic for doing something that should not be the slightest bit controversial Read moreMore Details

Opposite Forces
The Creator is pulling us towards him whether we know it or not. The natural development of the world is in opposition to the Creator, but this opposition is the necessary obstacle to knowing Him. While the Creator like nature, is the force of goodness and infinite giving known as bestowal, humanity is pulled by the force of the ego. The ego is constantly seeking pleasure for itself, often in seemingly contradictory forms. Out of this desire to enjoy, one ultimately destroys one's self and everything he or she connects with or comes across. Kabbalah teaches one how to invert this desire for pleasure into a desire to bestow, a Read moreMore Details

The View from Felton Road across the Pinot Noir vines of Block 3, center background
I was glad to have had the chance to spend some time with Felton Road's winemaker, Blair Walter, this past month. For someone interested in experiencing the unique cool climate wines of New Zealand's Central Otago region, these are must try wines.
Every effort is being made at Felton Road to allow the wines to express their terroir, while capturing the intense fruit flavors the vines are capable of providing. While not inexpensive by any stretch, the entire Felton Road line-up stood out, offering a sense of vibrancy and transparency, yet with rich, ripe fruit flavors. An attractive balance indeed. Read the complete report here.
Riesling, an emerging starNew Zealand is best known for its Sauvignon Blanc, and then perhaps Chardonnay if one is considering white wines. Both better watch out. The cool climate and poor soils are allowing for the production of Rieslings that will soon be ready to compete with the world's best.
2008 Felton Road Riesling
Aromas of minerals, lime oil, and green leaves greet the nose followed by key lime pie, slate, light honey tones and incipient notes of petrol. In the mouth this is fairly sweet and lush yet there's plenty of juicy acidity to keep things balanced.
Chardonnay, second to noneThe cool climate of Central Otago has proven perfect for those who appreciate their Chardonnay on the elegnat, restrained side. With a deft use of oak, these wines have emerged as some of the most complex, balanced, focused expressions of the grape in the New World.
2006 Felton Road Chardonnay
Though this is served cool it is remarkably aromatic with green apples and green plums,a touch of vegetal herbs and an underlay of silica and clay. In the mouth this is really zippy with fine balance and a sweet/sour tension that highlights the green apple and citrus character of the wine.
Pinot Noir, a sign of things to comeWhile we tasted the soon to be relaesed 2008's with winemaker Blair Walter, the notes for those wines can be found on the site, the 2007 Pinot Noir is readily available and serves as a brilliant introduction to the house style.
2007 Felton Road Pinot Noir
This has a lovely nose that balances burnished cherry and dried raspberry fruit against delicate notes of stem, moss, dried floral tones and a whisper of cinnamony spice. Rich and soft in the mouth, bordering on lush, but again with great balance. The fruit is a touch dark, veering off towards black cherry, but the soil, mineral and woodsy tones keep this fresh and offer good complexity and length.
Each of these wines was bottled under screwcap in an effort to help preserve the freshness of the wines. Don't allow that to sway your view of these wines. They are world class wines and few producers are able to offer a range of wines that perform at this high level. I was impressed by the wines freshness, depth and balance and hope you will be as well. To read more about Felton Road click here.

In today's fast-paced global markets, warehousing and distribution companies, like in all other industries, are being disrupted by the relentless march of technology – all are eager to gain the competitive edge by optimising, mechanising and automating the supply chain in order to cut warehousing and distribution costs and increase efficiency. The supply chain of the future will be very different from the one in which warehousing and distribution companies
operate today. Here are some key changes taking place in the field of logistics, warehousing and distribution:
Tracking and Reporting
Making decisions based on out-dated information and vague estimations is soon to become a thing of the past in any business, including warehousing and distribution companies. With satellite and other forms of tracking being utilised in all stages of the warehousing and distribution supply chain, real-time tracking of cargo from origin to destination is bound to become commonplace in the future.
These technologies include RFIDs, GPS tracking, geo-fencing, zone control and smart meters. With the abundance of new information available, the supply chain manager has far more intelligence upon which to base his decision, leading to a smoother experience overall, as well as lower costs and increased speed of delivery.
In school, we all learned how the first industrial revolution, immortalised by Henry Ford's Model T production line, was the birth of large scale mass production as we know it. Many forecast that an equally ground-breaking industrial revolution is taking place today.
Robotics, 3D printing and other incredible technologies are achieving feats of production never before imagined, and are being used more and more commonly in the manufacturing industry around the world.
The cost and time it takes to prototype and produce a product can essentially be halved by injecting a little technology into the process. Manufacturing is also become more and more competitively priced as these technologies become more mainstream.
This will doubtless have a huge impact on the supply chain in the near future – after all, if a robot can be shipped overseas and produce a perfect product anywhere you care to plug it in, what need is there for large scale shipping at all?
The world economy and the Earth's ecology are both under severe strain, but technology is a shining light of hope on the horizon – able to reduce man's harmful effects on the planet, and drive savings for warehousing and distribution companies at the same time.
Many factories and warehouses now run either partially or entirely on green technologies such as solar power, and the possibility of fleets of electric trucks transporting the word's cargo is fast becoming a reality.
Many governments also offer attractive incentives to businesses who commit to reducing their carbon emissions. These days, green technologies are being looked at more favourably than ever, not just because they reduce a company's carbon footprint, but because they also improve the bottom line.

EXTENDED DEADLINE OCT 15!!! Alza Tu Voz: "Our Immigrant Communities" Art Contest
Calling all artists!
About the Art Show
The Collier County Neighborhood Stories Project will be hosting its first ever art exhibit series showcasing the work of socially conscious artists from Florida and beyond. This show will serve as a fundraiser for our community bail and service fund.
The art exhibit will be a series of shows across the Naples and Immokalee area that will start in November. The shows are themed "Our Immigrant Communities" and artists are to connect their pieces to interpret the meaning of that phrase.
Details on the Submission of Art Pieces
We are calling all artists, far and wide, to submit and donate art pieces using any type of medium. Be it painting, photography, sculpture, digital graphic, drawing- we want to showcase it! The pieces will be sold with all proceeds going to our community bail and service fund to establish immediate financial support for families that cannot afford bail for their loved ones in detention.
We humbly ask artists to donate their pieces in order to make this fundraiser a success. Please contact Alicia at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have questions regarding the submission of pieces.
Theme: Our Immigrant Communities
All pieces should tie back to the main theme and artists should expand on their own interpretation of images that show opposition to the unjust deportations of individuals in our community and that also show hope for a new future by fighting back. All artists will be showcased for their work with the possibility of possible reproduction of any digital works or paintings that have uplifting and positive undertones. Organizations in the state will be invited to bid on some of the works for possible poster reproduction.
Types of mediums (not an exhaustive list). Whatever you submit must be your own creation:

New music reviewed from Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Moon Duo and The Godfathers.
Album reviews: Books and Branches, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, The Godfathers and Moon Duo
Book & Branches: Caribou Whispers (OffSeason Records):
Books & Branches is a project from Stephen Lyons (Fond of Tigers/Cloudsplitter/others) and Colin MacLaine.
The album was actually meant to be the first release on Lyons' OffSeason Records. But as is so often the case of artist-started indie labels, you form the label for your work and then you have friends who also want to release records and, well, you wind up with album No. 1 coming after many others.
It was worth the wait. Caribou Whispers is a delightful and somewhat zany slice of Canadiana that has more than a few similarities to Arizona's singular Howe Gelb and Giant Sand or Magnetic Fields. The instrumentation is sparse, the singing laconic and the lyrics are often both depressing and hilarious, such as turn my fridge up to four/cuz four's better than three is/to keep my beer cold (Orange Red Earth) or, You are a divine elephant with amnesia/trying to live in an ant hole (Sun in Drag).
If you get the sense there is some surreal ideal underpinning all 14 tunes, you would be right. The title track even reveals that caribou whispers bemoan the hibernating trophy-hunter bear who has the heads of their ancestors on his walls. This sort of storytelling just begs for a graphic novel to go along with the music. For now, the super-cool cover art will suffice.

Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears: Backlash (InGrooves)
This Austin, Texas.-based singer and his backing band, The Honeybears, just keep on getting funkier and moving more toward recreating the group's killer live concerts on record. And what that can mean is everything from full-on garage rock, such as the opening tune, Flash Eyed, to the bayou blues stomp of Global, the big-band funk of the leadoff single, PTP, and even Stooges-style thrash (Shadow People).
And while Joe's guitar and voice are most certainly a focus of every tune, the thing that stands out everywhere on this recording is the spectacularly hard-hitting rhythm section and inventive brass section. Case in point, the Stax-style soul testimonial, Wasted, builds to what would seem like an obvious sax or trumpet summit only to pull out a flute solo, or the use of baritone sax in Sexual Tension as the main bass riff, so the bassist can get slap-happy with it.
For such upbeat music, you can't help but notice that the lyrical content of most of the material is classic blues — failed love, lack of confidence, bravado in the face of breakup and so on. Not sure if Spoon's Jim Eno produced this one or not, but the sound is meticulous.

The Godfathers: A Big Bad Beautiful Noise (Godfathers Recordings)
Perpetually out of step with the rest, but just too good to miss.
That perfectly describes London's the Godfathers. Originally formed in 1985 by gravel-throated crooner Peter Coyne and his brother and bassist, Chris Coyne, after the demise of their previous crew — the brilliantly named Sid Presley Experience — the band boasted razor-sharp chops, mod finesse, punk energy and a good dose of both rage and humour. How else to explain a hit titled, Birth, School, Work, Death, a condemnation of working-class life with more than a bit of tongue-in-cheek, too?
Everything that made that song and album resonate is back in fine form on this record, the band's second album since returning to the studio in 2013 following an 18-year absence from recording. Once again, singer Coyne is the only remaining founding member and perhaps the new blood is why the group absolutely explodes from the opening chords of the title track.
One of the band's finest moments, this is punk rock R&B of a sort everyone should be happy with and before the 11 tracks are through, the group pulls out hooky pop (You Don't Love Me), dirty Dr. Feelgood-style blues (Poor Boy's Son) and even twanging balladry (She's Mine). All of it boasts that muscular execution that's always characterized the band's work. Hope they tour.
Moon Duo: Occult Architecture Vol. 1 (Sacred Bones)
This Portland duo of guitarist/vocalist Ripley Johnson and keyboardist/vocalist Sanae Yamada can never be accused of not staying on message.
Since their debut in 2008, the two have consistently cranked out droning, pulsing space rock. Sometimes, this formula produces truly hypnotic psychedelia — 2015's Shadow of the Sun being key — and sometimes just basic Moon Duo drone-on. Not that this is a bad thing exactly, but like similarly devoted-to-a-style groups like the Black Angels, there can be diminishing returns.
Frankly, this two-part, occult-influenced concept album comes across as in need of an editor. The first three tracks — The Death Set, Cold Fear and Creepin' just seem to motor on (and on and on) without any real dynamic interaction between the two musicians and guest drummer John Jeffrey.
Cross-Town Fade makes this all the more obvious as its Suicide-esque drone pulses and shimmers with the slightest bits of variation to the beat and just kicks. Will Of the Devil is similarly killer with as pop a hook as anything the group has ever dropped. Unfortunately, two tracks out of seven that don't seem set on autopilot isn't a very strong recommendation.
Perhaps unified with Vol. 2 it will all be more clear? The videos are certainly cool.

The first Europeans to discover Canada were probably Norsemen in about 1000 A.D. History remembers the Vikings as fierce warriors and skilled seamen who struck fear into the inhabitants of the lands they explored. Canadians remember them as pussies who couldn't stand the cold and went running home with their hammers between their legs.
In 1497, King Henry VII of England, feeling peckish, sent his Italian courtier Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) — Italians being known to know a thing or two about good food — out to find a snack for him. Cabot got as far as Newfoundland, but said the only thing worth eating was codfish and the English never went inland and discovered the chains of Tim Hortons plaguing Canadian street corners every three blocks.
In 1534, French explorer Jacques Cartier, sent out by King Francis after the famed-but-elusive "double double" trumpetted by Marco Polo in his adventures to the Middle Kingdom, got as far as present-day Quebec City, where he had to settle for bringing Francis back some French Fries slathered in cheese curd and gravy.
In 1610, Henry Hudson attempted to establish a nudist colony on the shores of Hudson Bay, only to find the area below freezing eleven months of the year. His disgruntled crew mutinied and dumped him on the shores of James Bay, thereafter travelling to the Caribbean to establish Club Med resorts.
