I have a confession to make.
I love group fitness classes.
Over the past several years, I've taken everything I can get my hands on: step-aerobics, circuit-training, TRX, Zumba, trapeze, Pilates, Pilates barre, power yoga, deep-water aerobics. I even bought a Groupon for classes at a pole-dancing fitness studio, but I forgot about it until after the pass had expired.
I love exertion, sweat, trembling muscles, and the feeling of being utterly spent.
My newest experiment is Crossfit. Maybe you've heard about it? If you do a Google Search, you'll find videos of unbelievably chiseled men and women lifting weights to motivational narrative and music. Nobody at my Crossfit gym looks like those people, but I suppose it's great marketing. The classes are filled with barbels, rowing machines, pull-up bars, climbing ropes and scary moves called the "snatch, clean, and jerk." It's amazing and terrifying. But mostly terrifying.
After my work-out last night, I had dinner with my friend who knows me so well we may as well be sisters. Barbara saw me rubbing my shoulders as she pulled plates out of the cupboard, and asked if I was feeling sore. I explained my new classes, and told her how excited I was to be using my body in a way that feels so fresh, new, and out of my comfort zone.
We talked about routines and adapting to change, and marveled at how quickly we absorb the new elements we add to our lives. The rapid speed we are able to turn "newness" into "normal" struck me, and got me to thinking about how often I flip into auto-pilot during the day. I was a bit saddened to think that when things don't feel new, they can sometimes feel like nothing.
But that doesn't have to be true!
I decided to make a list of all the new things I've done and learned so far this month, and the process helped me remember that there is newness happening nearly every day.
Here's a little sample:
- Ran a 5k while wearing a fake moustache
- Made homemade soup using Sunchokes (WHATchokes? My thoughts exactly.)
- Learned a new strand of HTML
- Wrote my first blog post!
- Won a prize in a raffle drawing (a haircut at a fancy salon!)
- Applied to be on the board of my local farmer's market
- Learned how to properly secure a Christmas tree onto the roof of my car
- Took my niece to see her first performance of The Nutcracker
- Took my Mom to her first ever yoga class
- Had my picture taken with a real, live reindeer
- Played in the first snowfall of the season
- Slipped and fell on the ice for the first time of the season
- Lived through the most painful massage of my life (A Groupon I should have let expire, and another adventure with Barbara.)
- Learned all the components of the "snatch, clean, and jerk" weightlifting technique – and I did it a whole bunch times!
So, I try new exercise classes when I feel like my life needs a kick-in-the-pants and it's simply not practical to quit my job and move across the country. I love a hearty dose of physical challenge when the rest of things are feeling sluggish; it's my way of channelling the restlessness that sometimes creeps its way in. But now I think I'll keep this little method of list-making tucked away for future times when I'm feeling a twinge of the auto-pilot-blues and my muscles are just too sore to make it to another work-out class.
Try it and tell me! What are 3-5 new things you've done this month? I would LOVE to hear about your excitement!

Think you can just take over your family's empire? Not just yet. Even the heir of the world's oldest tennis-making company Babolat had a shaky start walking into his father's role when the latter was struck by tragedy.
Experts say those who intend to step into their ancestors' legacy need to prepare themselves well in advance to tackle the complex role of running a family business.
It is no secret, Kiwis business owners have the "she'll be right" attitude when it comes to even the most fundamental business rule of ensuring the business is passed onto good hands.
Published report show that 20 per cent of businesses in NZ would fold over if the leader/owner was hit by illness or death while about 30 percent could carry on for a few more months before having to close.
But how can you tell if you are suited to take on the family business?
Denise Kenyon-Rouvinez and Anne-Catrin Glemser from The Wild Group Professor of Family Business at Swiss business school IMD identified some challenges faced by someone being thrown into the deep end of the family business and provide some hints on how to navigate this tricky business.
Unexpected and tragic events happen even to the best of businesses. Take the case of Eric Babolat who is a fifth generation Babolat, the oldest tennis making company in the world.
Despite joining the company early to learn the ropes of the business, he was ill-prepared for the leadership role thrust upon him after his CEO father Pierre was killed in an airplane crash while on a trip home after the US Open tennis tournament.
"We all were totally caught by surprise," Eric was quoted saying, adding that his sister and he had to instantly take over the responsibility for the business and on top of it manage ownership and governance issues.
Eric wished he had properly learnt the ropes. Babolat needed leadership to help it grow its first line of tennis racquets in Europe, and to expand its US market.
While Eric and his sister had learnt bits of the business, they were not fully inducted into what it means to "stand in" and take over as business owner and continue the dynasty, according to the IMD report.
The IMD provided a list of key questions that next-generation members should ask themselves before joining the family firm.
- Do I want to join my family business?
- What role should I play?
- When should I get involved?
- What does it take to succeed in a family business?
Not everybody knows if they want to own and lead a family business. Some younger generation prefer not to take on such a huge responsibility.
Parents might not openly discuss the question of the next generation joining the family business, because they don't want to put pressure on them. But children can intuitively sense their parents' expectations, the report adds.
Next-generation members need to not only develop their executive leadership skills but also have a fine sense of "family acumen" to manage their relations inside the family system. And while ambitious family members may aim to become the CEO or board chairman of the family firm, but only a few are up to the task.
"In between these two extremes are many possible paths, such as the family strategy committee, family to business advisory board, family assembly, next-generation committee, head of human resources, family council, social responsibility and sustainability committees, family investment committee, entrepreneurial fund and non-core projects, family office, overseer of the family mansion and archives, family foundation and philanthropy, head of an "information circle" and "study groups" to educate next-generation owners, social events chair, and leader of a "memory project" to record the history of the family firm and individual contributions to it," the authors say.
What makes it hard is there is no real "best timing" for taking on the family business. It depends on, and evolves with, the individual's life stages and personal development. What counts is the commitment and initiative to strengthening the family glue.
Those who step right into the family business right after school need to be patient because decision-making power will not be granted to them immediately.
"Family businesses have become very professional and often expect family members to outperform their non-family colleagues to demonstrate their ability to step into their predecessors' shoes," the authors say.
Before taking on the family business, it helps to experience the corporate world, and gain insights on leadership, ownership responsibility, governance, and financial skills.
"Besides these "hard skills," young potential leaders in family businesses should also learn about what it takes to lead a family – the pitfalls and the tools that might help a family to structure itself and take the business to the next level.
"Understanding family communications and one's own role in a team of family members helps to separate individual from team dynamics and enables the next-generation member to become a responsible family shareholder.
"What cannot be taught in a pressure cooker is the commitment to the concept of stewardship and a particular family's principles. Teaching their juniors a solid and sustainable set of values and beliefs and providing opportunities to realize them is ultimately part of the parents' job," the authors say.

Vicki Rogge and her late husband, Walter, bought this property to house his business over 25 years ago. Not long after they bought the property they decided to retire in Ojai and keep it as a passive investment. Mrs. Rogge loves the building not only because of its connection to her late husband but also because of its incredible architectural detail. The current building was built in 1927 but extensively remodeled and upgraded in the 1990's. The property had been leased out to a variety of uses in the last 25 years. It was a juice shop, a surf shop, and a few clothing shops. It retains some absolutely stunning architectural details; bow truss ceiling, sky lights, original cement flooring, exposed brick interior and exterior walls, metal stairwells, and original masonry details from the original 1927 construction.
Approximately 2,400 square foot retail building built of reinforced brick and masonry on a 1,978 square foot lot.
Three months
Mrs. Rogge wanted to lease the building quickly because it was a significant part of her monthly income but would not lease to a retail tenant who wanted to drastically change the look of the property to suit their concept. There were several features inside and out that were historical in nature. Several national companies pursued the property but every group wanted to cover up some of the brick and change the original cement flooring. This was a non starter for her, any tenant would have to adopt the building's creative but very traditional aesthetic. We had to target tenants that would embrace the exposed brick and cement floors. We spoke to every current tenant on Main Street in Santa Monica and on Abbot Kinney in Venice to find a fit. We found a high end interior furnishings group that was getting priced out on Abbot Kinney. They loved the existing building so much that they added nothing to the space but one interior wall to hang fixtures and art on.
Main Street in Santa Monica is a very sought after street with numerous creative tenants both local and national in nature. However, these creative tenants typically want to create a unique specific concept which often requires complete remodels of existing space. This posed a problem initially during the early marketing of the property. We had to "pound the pavement" to find the right tenant, someone who's concept matched the building, and understood the owner's personal attachment to the improvements. Through walking and talking to tenants we found the perfect tenant. They knew the space and they knew their existing landlord would buy them out of their lease because their rent was severely under market and because of the skyrocketing demand on Abbot Kinney. It continues to be a perfect match of a traditional space with a cutting edge that perfectly suits the tenant's furnishing aesthetic.

Federal File: Believing again; Clinton chair
Deputy Secretary of Education Madeleine M. Kunin gave the cause of community service a boost last week by speaking at a reception launching Who Cares, a new community-service magazine.
"This generation is different from other generations,'' Ms. Kunin told a room packed with "twentysomething'' activists.
"There's a feeling we should believe again, and that there are so many ways to change the world,'' she said.
Ms. Kunin's presence at the magazine's launching was another sign of the Clinton Administration's interest in sparking enthusiasm among young people to serve their communities.
President Clinton last month signed into law the National and Community Service Act, which will enable young people to participate in service projects in exchange for a post-service education or training benefit of $4,725 per year of service.
"What's so exciting about national and community service is that we have a structure for altruism,'' Ms. Kunin observed.
The magazine's three editors, graduates of Harvard University and experienced community-service workers, have amassed foundation and corporate support for their glossy, color magazine, which will appear on newsstands this month.
The first issue contains many complimentary references to President Clinton. Also included is a commentary entitled "What the Government Program Can't Fix,'' by Eli J. Segal, the director of the White House Office of National Service.
Usually Presidents wait until after leaving the White House to lend their name to academic pursuits. But not so Bill Clinton.
Nine months into his Presidency, the Arkansas native has approved the creation of an endowed professorship in his name at Arkansas College, a small Presbyterian institution in Batesville.
The William Jefferson Clinton Professorship in International Politics has been funded with a gift of $500,000 from an anonymous donor.
A search for the "teacher-scholar of national repute'' to fill the position is under way.
Mr. Clinton spoke at the college on a number of occasions while serving as Governor of Arkansas, including at the inauguration of its current president, John V. Griffith.
Hillary Rodham Clinton received an honorary doctorate from Arkansas College in 1988, and served as the institution's legal counsel several times.--J.P. & M.P.

Block number/name: J-9 "Maury High School"
Date completed: November 22, 2009
Number of pieces: 13
Notes on block: Choosing the fabric for this block presented a dilemma. Do it all in one green or choose an accent color for the melons? Because the main fabric is so busy, I decided to go with an accent color. I'm happy with my choice except for the fact that now the melons are much more visible. Tiny melons, I shake my fist at you!!! Sigh. I take heart in the fact that they are at least a little better than my last attempt at tiny melons.
Block number/name: G-10 "Woven Meadow"
Date completed: November 22, 2009
Number of pieces: 39
Notes on block: Another two-block night! It always feels good when that happens.
There were many pieces, but this was a very straightforward block piecing-wise. I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

Sussex-based choir Coro Nuovo are set to perform at Holy Trinity Church, Cuckfield, next month for the first of two Gloria concerts.
he event follows on from the choir's immensely successful Sing Off competition in January, which raised more than £750 for a Young Sussex Musician's bursary.

The Gloria concert will feature a wide range of uplifting music, including a new composition by the organist and composer Jeff Howard, and a Welsh Medley led by music director and international tenor Andrew Rees.

This is a day to reflect on those lost to CTE, how to help those suffering with the disease, and most importantly how to stop the disease.
If you suffer from CTE this is a great day to share your story. Call your local newspaper and tell them about your history and symptoms and goals to warn others about the disease, See this link for a nicely done article. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-5236797/Former-college-football-player-believes-CTE.html
Local papers usually share with other papers nationally.
See the Yahoo News documentary here: https://yhoo.it/2S8rlDt
See Doug's talk about CTE here: https://www.facebook.com/theMindReset/videos/356971881791640/

Families who have lost loved ones to CTE: contact your local state legislator and ask to have your loved one mentioned in a resolution in your state for CTE Awareness Day. See this template for ideas
Lastly if you work with kids and would like to share info about CTE and give away free sport headbands, please contact us with your name and address, place they will be distributed, and the quantity needed.

What a wonderful day! Thank you to all our supporters for helping us create a fun day for families while spreading the message of protecting children's brains. Everyone had a great time and the sponsors and volunteers were very generous. All proceeds will go to the foundation to spread awareness about CTE and protect lives and families.
Brain Injury Awareness Day
March 21-22, 2017, Washington, D.C.
Your support was crucial in sending a strong message to Congress that brains are precious, that most traumatic brain injuries – and CTE – are entirely preventable, and that both adults and children deserve healthy brains. Help us save families from our pain. With your help we can make a big difference.
CTE Awareness Day, January 30, 2017, 1:00 pm, St. Regis, Houston, TX
This was the kick-off event to show the Faces of CTE. We were joined by many families impacted by the disease, and heard from athletes working to keep their fellow players healthy. Please see the CTE Press page to read all about it.
Thank you for joining us in DC on Wednesday, March 16, 2016,The message:
We had 10 families join us who lost a loved one to CTE from playing sports. We also had some famous NFL players joining us: Sean Morey and Mike Haynes (Hall of Famer). We had a booth at the Congressional Brain Injury Awareness Fair and visited offices to ask for our nation to protect children under the age of 14 from the dangers of CTE by keeping repeated head trauma out of games and practices until older.
Thank you for joining us on Friday, January 8, 2016, at the Loews Theater on the Waterfront to showcase the movie Concussion and our cause.
It was such a great night spreading awareness and raising money to save lives and families. Your support meant the world to us.

When it comes to Voyeuring, there is apparently no one better to peek in on than Hannah Milanovich. At least, that's what the latest Riddle Oil fragrance ad would have us believe. If you're a creature of the night with a flare for sexy girls (or if you just have a bit of Peeping Tom in you), maybe it's time you start peeping in the right places.
Have a look at the greatest and latest of Hannah's Instagram, including some of the sexy work she did with Riddle for the new fragrance line. Then be sure to get a bottle of the unisex vanilla amber Voyeur (it smells like sex) this June, if you know what's good for you.
Be sure to check out Voyeur, the new scent from Riddle Oil and follow Hannah Milanovich.

Transport and traffic are two of the hottest topics of debate in Cambridge. So I know there are lots of ideas for improving transport. Now it looks as though we may be able to put some of them into practice.
By law (Town & Country Planning Act 1990), councils may require money from developers to offset the impact of their developments. As this is laid out in Section 106 of the Act, the contribution is dubbed 'Section 106 money' by councillors. I do not know what the developers call it.
Cambridgeshire County Council is asking us for our ideas on how this money should be spent in the south of Cambridge. Projects should 'mitigate the effect of the additional transport-related movements from new development'. The officers have come up with two proposals already:
- a link between the Hills Road Bridge and the Guided Busway cycle route
- a clean-up of signage on the ring road
They are asking us for further suggestions, and we shall be discussing proposals at the next South Area Committee on 5th March (Cherry Hinton Village Centre). So please let me have your brilliant ideas – come to the meeting too, if you can, as it is open to everyone. If you'd like to join in the discussion, why not post a comment here?
OK, I'll get things started: My idea is signage and low-level lighting on the Guided Bus cycleway. What's yours?

We are holding the first AVSP give away, this time we are going to conduct a drawing. Send a postcard (preferably of a local place or landscape near you) to us at:
AVSP Drawing
PO Box 1026
Morgantown, WV 26507
All postcards must be received by Dec 1, 2005. We will announce the winner at the beginning of Episode 20 in early December.
Main Topic
In this episode, we discuss some aspects of privacy and geographic information. Advances in geospatial technologies, including Google Maps, Virtual Earth and other web mapping applications have made it relatively easy for knowledgeable users to combine many types of information about people with their locations; in effect, spatial profiling. While this is not new in GIS circles and privacy issues are a main focus of the GIS and Society literature, the new web mapping applications add a twist by showing how easy it is to create a spatial interface to synthesize and display all kinds of data that would normally be considered private.

How to set up shopping cart price rule in Magento
- From Magento Admin panel to Promotion→Shopping Cart Price Rules
- On top right click "Add New Rule"
- Fill in: Rule Information/Conditions/Actions/Labels
- Click "Save" button
Magento offers setting up different shopping cart price rules – an option extremely useful for store owners.
It allows store owners and administrators to create and apply different shopping cart price rules and determine different conditions for different buyers.
Also, setting up different rules allows you to add discounts, promotions and all sorts of benefits for your customers.
Let's see now what you need to do to start configuring your shopping cart price rule.
First, navigate to Promotions and click on Shopping Cart Price Rules.
That action will take you to a new screen, where you will be able to see all of your previously created shopping cart price rules.
We want to show you how to add a new one, so now, you should navigate to the upper right corner of the page and click on Add New Rule orange button.
Go ahead and add details about your price rule, set up its name and description, determine its status, associate it to a website and choose a customer group.
We named our rule Retail and set it up as Active in the dropdown menu.
Then, we chose Retailer customer group.
Take a look at the screenshot below:
Also, choose whether or not you will generate coupons.
If you choose to do so, you will have an option to determine how many uses per customer you will allow and for how long the coupon will be valid.
But we will talk more about generating coupons in one of our next tutorials.
That is why we will skip generating coupons for now.
Here, in the first place, you should note this message: Apply the rule only if the following conditions are met (leave blank for all products).
So what you should do is determine what is the rule/condition that has to be fulfilled so that a particular action that we want to set up could be achieved.
You can set up a condition by clicking on a green radio button with a plus sign to open the list of rules to choose from.
Take a look:
We chose to give 20 percent of discount to all of our customers that have purchased items with subtotal that is equal or larger than 2000 USD.
That means that we have set up a condition that, if fulfilled, will result with a discount of a certain kind for a customer that we will set up later on.
Also, from the dropdown menu, we selected that it is going to be a fixed amount discount (see the screenshot).
In order to be able to enter the desired amount that your customer's shopping cart has to have in order to obtain the discount, click on three dots (…) and enter a value.
Note that you are not limited in any way and simply by clicking on green radio button you can add as many rules as you want.
For better understanding see the screenshot below:
Now, move on to Actions tab from the menu on your left hand side.
At this point you are able to set up how the condition will apply.
We determined that every customer with shopping cart subtotal that is equal or larger than $2000 will be eligible to obtain fixed amount discount that we have previously determined.
From the dropdown menu we chose that a fixed amount discount would apply.
In the tab right below – Discount Amount, we have entered the amount and, further more, we have the option to set up whether our discount will be valid for shipping as well.
We decided that it will not be applicable to shipping, so we marked No from the dropdown menu.
When you're completely satisfied with how everything looks, all you have to do is save your price rule by locating and clicking Save orange button in the upper right part of the page.
You have probably already realized that it's a great way to show appreciation for your customers by creating various discounts and promotions, so go ahead and wow them!

Beach holidays in Italy
A weekend break for a beach holiday in Italy has never been better! With a whopping coastline, Italy's shores are dotted with stunning beaches. From the dramatic coastline of Campania, to a beautiful spot on the cliffs of Sorrento, Italy holidays 2018 offer massive beach variety. Glorious weather, beautifully clear water, and delicious local cuisine make for simply stupendous Italian beach holidays.
Beach resorts and quaint hotels litter the coastline. Tuscany is perfect for a traditional seaside holiday in the sunshine. Well-groomed sand is met by pretty houses and cafes, which run along the shore. For a city break with a little sea and sand thrown in, look no further than Venice's Lido - a 7-mile long sandbar in Venice Lagoon, located along the Venetian Riviera.
Head to southern Italy, and the wonders of Calabria, to experience 'the Caribbean of Italy.' Beautiful beaches contrast with rugged, pale cliffs, as well as hotels equipped with crisp pools. Families will surely love Puglia, and the variety it offers. Beautiful beaches, welcoming locals, and a vibrant yet comfortable pace make for a stunning destination.
The Amalfi Coast is located on the Sorrentine peninsula in the Campania region and has been the playground of the rich and famous for a hundred years. Thankfully, you don't need to be rolling in it to enjoy a day rolling along its golden coastline. The Amalfi Coast boasts dramatic cliffs, beautiful pebbly beaches, and an atmosphere you'll love. A great place to base yourself would be the town of Sorrento.
Food in Italy
A country famed for its cuisine, Italian nights are focused on food and wine. Adorned with olive groves and orange trees and rolling hills beneath vast vineyards, this country's produce is evident in its landscapes, leaving you to enjoy delicious olive oil and a hearty glass of red. While one of the main Italy attractions is its tantalising pasta dishes, you'll find the best pizza in Rome. Journey down cobbled streets away from the tourist mass to discover freshly baked pizza by the slice, before indulging in a hefty dose of gelato for dessert.
Tuscany boasts some of the finest wine regions in the world, and the seaside nibbles along the Amalfi Coast, Campania's dramatically situated seafood restaurants and the range of restaurants in Sorrento will keep your Italy holidays all about the food! If you want to try some more seafood, where better to base yourself than on the islands of Sicily or Sardinia?
Don't forget, many hotels are bound to have a striking Italian menu! Ask for the local cuisine!
Family holidays in Italy
Whether you're looking to kick back and enjoy the Italian sunshine from the beach, or explore a heady Italian city and teach the little ones a spot of Italian to show off at school, we have a great range of family holidays to Italy. We have to recommend the Amalfi Coast as the best place to start your search, maybe try a hotel in Sorrento? This way you can mix the convenience of a central town with the beauty of the Amalfi coastline.
In Italy, the importance of family time is big. And we mean really big. That means, families are welcomed with open arms, and there's a never-ending list of things for families to get stuck into. From Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii in Naples to the delectable wonders of Tuscany, or perhaps the sailing adventures on Lake Garda, families will have a ball on an Italian holiday together. There are so many family-friendly hotels in Italy just waiting to welcome you with Italian hospitality. Simply get browsing!
Adventure holidays in Italy
For adventurous types wondering what to do in Italy, you'll be pleased to find that these breath-taking landscapes make a great setting for action-packed activities. From mountain biking in the Tuscan countryside to horse riding in the Chianti region, you're sure to find something to suit your thrill level on your holiday in Italy. The Amalfi Coast boasts some of the best cliffside hikes in Europe, with some of the best views. Join a hiking tour along the rocky Cilento coast or embrace the variety of water-sports that can be found on Italy's wonderful alpine lakes. Of course, for those with a penchant for a wetsuit, there is no-where better than Lake Garda– embrace an exhilarating swim or try your hand at sailing a yacht. You'll find some beautiful hotels in the Lake Garda region to return to after a long day.
Things to do in Italy
Despite being immersed in historical and cultural attractions during your holidays to Italy, you'll never be too far from some awe-inspiring scenery. Among the regions displaying this beauty is Tuscany, one of Italy's top holiday destinations. The region is home to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Siena, as well as an alluring coastline, historic cities, and a wonderful regional cuisine, complemented perfectly by local wine.
There are many options if you're looking for Italian lake holidays. In the north of the country is the retreat of Lake Como, famed for its clean air, clear water and striking mountains, making this area a perfect paradisiacal escape. Along the lake's edge are numerous beautiful little towns that cling to the water, while a bustling outdoor pursuit and water sports scene attract holidaymakers seeking more than just some rest and relaxation. Another super popular Italian lake is Lake Garda, not far from Venice and Milan.
Beach holidays in Italy are also a great choice as the country boasts some beautiful islands, none more significant than Sardinia and Sicily. These large islands are situated in the Tyrrhenian Sea and offer a mixture of different culture and wonderful landscapes to holidaymakers. Sicily is a rugged island, home to ancient ruins, a great trekking scene and the imposing Mount Etna, while Sardinia is a little more sedate, known as a haven for nature lovers who come in search of natural parks, stunning beaches and a vibrant sailing culture. A luxury hotel on either Sardinia or Sicily is a top holiday choice.
Nightlife in Italy
Immerse yourself in the spirit of this vibrant destination by donning your dancing shoes and heading out after dark. With a selection of some of the best city breaks in Europe, how could you not?
The stylish city of Milan is home to a plethora of nightclubs considered to be among the best in the world – from chic jazz bars to the famed Dolce and Gabanna Club Gold, a restaurant and cocktail bar made of gold.
Party animals thinking about what to do in Italy should head to Florence, where you'll find a thriving electronic music scene and bustling clubs boasting DJs, dancing and neon lights. If you fancy something a little less energetic, head to the traditional trattorias of Rome for delicious homemade fare washed down with the house wine.
Campania is a bustling region with Naples at its heart, Tuscany is the best place to sip wine, and the southern "heel" of Italy, Puglia, has bustling coastal towns. You'll find unparalled luxury along the Neopolitan Riviera, pure class along the Amalfi Coast and splendour on the Venetian Riviera.
Booking a holiday to Italy is easy! You can book flights to any destination up and down the country and with a choice of plenty of resorts and quieter hotels, you can easily shape your holidays around the action. Nights on an Italian holiday are bound to be busy.
Holidays for couples in Italy
Italy's dazzling history and culture are best captured in one of its many remarkable cities. Choosing which one to visit can sometimes be the most stressful aspect of your Italy holidays, with so many grand and significant destinations dotted around the country, all boasting luxury all inclusive hotels. However, with our cheap holidays to Italy, its never been easier to book a short break to Italy.
Rome is one of the world's great cities, adorning many a holidaymaker's bucket list - an obvious stop for any Italy break. A centre of power for over 1,000 years, Rome boasts stunning Roman wonders like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Pantheon, combined with Catholic grandeur found in the form of the Vatican and over 900 churches.
Florence, a Renaissance city of art and architecture. Don't miss the stunning Duomo, the masterful Uffizi Gallery and the beautiful Ponte Vecchio.
Venice is another must-see, the ultimate city of romance, with its unique network of canals snaking around sites such as St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge.
From the romance of Rome nights to the meandering canals of Venice, Italy has long been considered a destination of love. From Lake Garda to Sardinia, there's scenery and beauty abound. For those seeking Italy attractions with their other half, it is well worth heading to the Amalfi Coast. Cobalt blue waters, dramatic coastlines and stunning views are sure to bring out your inner-Casanova, while a drop or two of the local wine in Sorrento offers a great complement to your Italian getaway.
Take a boat ride alongside the glittering Italian Riviera, experience a moonlit gondola ride on Venice nights or recreate that famous movie kiss from La Dolce Vita at Rome's Trevi Fountain – you're sure to fall in love with Italy and each other.
Italian culture
Italy holidays offer plenty of cultural things to do for all ages, worth leaving your hotel for. First off, let's discuss Venice Carnival. For a week in February every year, Venice lights up with colour, fancy dress, music, drinking, and lots and lots of eating! For a moment of peace in all the action, head out along the Venetian Riviera. Opera season in Verona is a beautiful time to be alive, or perhaps Rome's Cinema Festival in autumn will tick the boxes for you.
It would be a crime not to mention Italy's best-loved sport - football, so if you can catch a game while you're on holiday, you won't regret the passion with which the Italians watch sport!
Jam-packed full of cultural offerings, there is a myriad of things to do during your Italy holidays for those seeking history and heritage. Each region boasts its own stories and sights, from Campania, to Tuscany, to the magnificent Neapolitan Riviera. Soak in the history of this stunning country one gorgeous destination at a time.
Once an ancient city, Rome is now home to a mass of restored ruins, fascinating monuments and churches. Catch a glimpse of the architectural skills of the ancient Roman people with a visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum or make the journey to nearby Vatican City to browse through famous paintings, sculptures and artwork from centuries ago. From the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the unrivalled splendour of Mount Vesuvius, or Sorrento's cliff-side, rambling streets, you'll find some great Italy attractions worthy of a space on your camera.

If you'd asked just about anyone working in the games industry before the launch of Skyrim, they'd have told you it was a guaranteed success. Just how successful has become apparent less than a week after the official launch.
Bethesda has announced that 7 million copies of the game were made available for the release, spread across PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. In just the first 48 hours, more than half of those copies were sold.
To put that in perspective, the last game in the series, Oblivion, was released in March 2006 and achieved 3 million sales by January 2007. We should point out it only launched on PC and Xbox 360 at the time, with the PS3 version coming in March 2007. Even so, that's a massive jump in the rate of sales.
When Bethesda has sold those first 7 million copies, which looks very likely to happen now, it will have generated $450 million in global sales. If you think about the additional content Bethesda surely has planned for the game, and then the inevitable Game of the Year edition down the line, you can see why The Elder Scrolls series is such an important piece of IP for Bethesda and its parent company Zenimax.
If Bethesda had produced a poor game, then obviously those sales figures may be different. However, Skyrim is turning out to be anything but a bad title, with Metacritic's average review scores remaining very high across PC (95%), Xbox 360 (96%), and PS3(94%).
For fans of the series this sales success should come as very good news. It guarantees that The Elder Scrolls VI will be developed, but possibly won't make an appearance until the next round of game consoles. The fact that Skyrim has infinite quests should mean you don't get bored waiting for it though, and with Steam's midweek sale this week, you can also pick up Oblivion for just a few dollars right now.

Crow's Revenge by Marcus Alexander
Writing this gives me great, great pleasure. Marcus Alexander, whom I interviewed many years ago - when he was still a self-published author - has been picked up by Puffin Books, who are republishing his magnificent Who is Charlie Keeper? as Keeper of the Realms this month. I can't think of another author who deserved it more, the writing and presentation of WhoisCK? set a benchmark for what self-published authors should look to achieve.
But first a little back story, which I will keep short… It was about three ago that a parent emailed the site and asked if a certain book called Who is Charlie Keeper? was suitable for their child. I had no idea, I had never even heard of it, so I got in touch with the author himself to discuss the matter with the result being that both daughter and my good self received a copy of a fantastic little book to read. The parents main concern, by the way, was that graffiti artists had taken to recreating the book's artwork in public places illegally. You can read more about this in the interview from 2009.
But back to the book itself!
When I published my glowing review of Who is Charlie Keeper? I was dismayed to receive, only a few days later, a reader review from a certain Jack which read, "Is this a joke? I got this off this site's recommendation, and it is truly one of the worst books I've ever read. The punctuation is horrendous, dialogue is ridiculous, and the writing is just plain bad. It's full of unlikable stereotypical characters, un-original situations, lots of shouting, running, name calling and insults, unnecessary violence, distracting dialects, painfully unfunny jokes and comedic situations, and foot stomping. It must be a joke, because to rate this on the same level as Tolkien, Ursula Le Guin, Robin Hobb and a great many more is laughable."
Ouch. I must admit that I began to have doubts about whether what I found enjoyable really matched what the young adult crowd were looking for. Was I both completely out of touch and unable to distinguish between a good and bad book?
Luckily more reader reviews began to pour in, mainly I believe in response to Jack, "This is partly in response to Jack's review and also my own thoughts on Who is Charlie Keeper? Firstly let me just say that I thought WhoisCK? was a brilliant story, I study at Kensington & Chelsea College and as a student I might not be the richest person and cannot always afford to buy books direct from the web more often than not having to buy mine second hand so when I say that I treasure and value my copy of WhoisCK? know that I genuinely mean it. I have never read Ursula Le Guin but I have read Tolkien and even had to study part of it in my Eng. Lit. classes as secondary school, I do think WhoisCK? is a better and more entertaining story particularly in its written form. True, Tolkien makes an awesome storyteller and the films were out of the world and I would never, ever say otherwise. However the truth of the matter is that Tolkien was an author who was heavy handed with his writing, let us be honest his method of writing prose isn't always the most exciting and I think can get carried away with descriptions, detouring away from the main thread of the story. The point that I am trying to make in my convoluted way is I think the writing style of WhoisCK? is easier to lose yourself in than Tolkien. As for whether or not the story itself is better or not is I think entirely up to the individual to decide. Also of note Tolkien initially received terrible and mocking reviews when his work was first published in 1954, it was only after time that people became more accepting of the genre and his books grew to find acclaim. Again I'm not so ignorant as to say that WhoisCK? is a legendary book but I do think that it is very attuned to today's culture. I love the way the characters speak, I greatly admire how Charlie Keeper tackles the obstacles placed in front of her and I appreciate how quickly the book moves forward. Everyone is entitled to there own views, everyone should be allowed to approach subjects as individuals. These are my mine. I am tempted to give WhoisCK? 10 out of 10 to balance Jack's 1 out of 10 as I think that he has acted far too harshly however I shall go with honesty and give WhoisCK? a 8.5 out of 10."
Phew! And I think Margaret got it spot on. Ratings can be peculiar things, for example, I think that The Lord of the Rings and The Gruffalo are both 10-star books but they can't really be held up together and compared can they? I think that WhoisCK? deserved such a high rating from me as I thought it to be perfect for today's young adult audience. Here is what I originally said about it, "A female hero... A villain that comes from THE WEST! Surely Marcus Alexander will be forced to fall on a magically imbued sword as penance for this outrageous break with fantasy genre tradition? Luckily the answer is no, Alexander exhales a well-aimed breath of fresh air into the stuffy, often male dominated format that has held the fantasy genre back for so many years. JK Rowling picked up the genre and took it into a wide new world with the phenomenon that was Harry Potter; books such as Who is Charlie Keeper? will keep the momentum going as fantasy literature becomes a form that can be read and enjoyed by both sexes, regardless of age."
And so, although Jack's comments should be respected, I will just share a few more snippets from the many reader reviews that followed.
"I wish there were more stories like this, it feels real and isn't condescending to teenagers like some other books can be. Goooooooooo Charlie Keeper!!!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Curtis from Streatham.
"I thought the book was a great read and one which I recommend people to read. The book kept me on my toes from beginning to end and I only wish the author will make another book as soon as possible. I believe this book was a magnificent adventure book, one which I hold highly amongst the Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings books. In addition the art work was absolutely excellent," said Abdi from London calmly.
"Fantastic book!! I can't wait for the sequel. I love the idea of how the author draws your attention with a female-hero destined to save the world. Love the special art-work, magical themes and characters like Mr Crow & Bane. Definitely a must-read, fantastic book," enthused Dennis from London.
"I think this is a cult classic... although when the author explains how green something is he really goes into one and over-explains but apart from that the book is great; well written. I got my copy as I saw a video review on YouTube... amazing art work... I hear you can get a poster from Amazon as well..." proclaimed Cherry from London.
So I will repeat my sentiments from three years ago, you simply must go out and buy Keeper of the Realms, the story and artwork are excellent and they compliment each other in the same way as Chris Riddell 's artwork and Paul Stewart's storytelling do on their wonderful Edge Chronicles. The improvements that were needed in the initial book lay in the editing department, which is of course always the most difficult and expensive problem that self-published authors face. But now that the mighty Puffin behind the book readers will find that all these issues have been ironed out and the book is better than ever! Book of the Month for 2009 and and 2012!

Crow's Revenge reader reviews
Rosie from America
Amazing read I couldn't put it down it thought it would be childish but there were so many plot twists that I became a character in the book.
Alys from England
This book is amazing and is one of my favorite books that I have read so far. Marcus Alexander puts so much detail in his sentences and uses his knowledge from travelling the world to create many new aspects to include in Bellania.
Ayman Meijssen from Muscat Oman
I have the book and it was so good that I read it in one day.
Sheriff from UK
Great book, amazing language. I never wanted to stop reading.
Nemo from England
This is the best book. The mythical creatures and the things that have inspired you - that's the best bit because Bellenia is the best fantasy. Your books are easy to read plus it is so imaginative. So awesome!
Nicholas from Australia
Loved it! Especially the end although, I know it's just nitpicking but it's not really "Crow's Revenge" I think it would be better in the sequel
Nancy from Hounslow
I liked this book so it's definitely a KEEPER lol
Bill (William!) from UK
I missed Who is Charlie Keeper but I did hear of it so I'm very glad I got Crow's Revenge. Simply stunning fantasy so 10 stars plus :)
9.7/10 from 9 reviews

Why are Christians always afraid of death?
Nobody prays against death like the apostles of life after death and candidates of sky palace with streets of gold. About to board a bus, they pray against accidents, on a flight, they pray against aircrash. Early in the morning, they pray against dying. In the church, they cast and bind untimely death. As a matter of fact to die early is an agony in the mind of the believers of life after death.
How can anyone dislike any circumstance that will unite them with their father? You don't love your father or you don't like where he stays or still you believe he doesn't exist. These are the best possible answers ever.
I think sky-daddy will be feeling bad each time he hears his people pray to him to cancel any situation that will lead them to him.
It is not their fault. In the subconsciousness of the believer lies the picture of a boring, opera-styled environment with no Cable TV, Ipads, facebook, cars but horses, donkeys and most importantly, endless days of opera sing-songs to a white-beareded man on a throne for eternity. That is boring. Who will love such a place? No wonder they don't want to die.
Perhaps they do not even believe it exists. Their pastors take it further by securing themselves with bulletproof cars and armed security men, in other to prevent any situation that can send them to the company of sandals-wearing men like Peter and Paul or goat skin wearing men like John the baptist and Elijah especially with beards that haven't been shaved for centuries. Islam was smart to add virgins to make it lovely. Too bad that the Romans never thought of it.
Believing in life after death and then praying against death, is like going to school and refusing to graduate and doing everything possible to remain in school but at the same time telling everyone that the life of a graduate is better than that of a student.

Girl on Her Toes
Ok remember that Bailey has been army crawling since she was 5 1/2 months old! Now at 7 months old, this girl is an expert army crawler. She still doesn't crawl "regularly" on hands and knees, but who knows--she may never do that! The latest thing she has been doing is getting up on her toes! We call it her "downward dog"--you know, the yoga position? I am such a yoga buff! (just kidding). It is hilarious, though and she does it ALL the time! I have 20 pictures of her in that upside down V position! Of course Avery tries to encourage it when she's not doing it, and look at Avery, still fitting into the Bumbo! (with her beloved Care Bear that she has recently been really attached to. Funny because she's had it for like 2 years and is just now really playing with it!)

Driving at 6 months
I really did not think that Bailey could sit up in this car, but the other day I thought I would try, and she did it! She loves to hold onto the steering wheel and to be pushed around. She and Avery had a blast playing outside together--I can't wait until Bailey can run around with Avery!
This first picture reminds me of so many my mom has of my sisters and I standing outside barefoot and dirty after a hard day of playing!

Bailey Sitting Up & Scream/Laughing
These two videos are of a very funny laugh/scream type noise that Bailey was doing a little while back. It has now changed into a high pitched squealy scream which is really fun for her to do when we're all sitting down in a restaurant. :) I seem to remember Avery going through this phase and I think we ate at home a lot then. Ha ha!

Wow it has been almost a month since I posted. I do have some pictures and even video, but they will have to wait. We have been super busy lately (as usual, right?) but I think things will settle down after Craig's brother gets married this weekend! We have been doing the shower thing, the get-accessories thing, the "what am I going to wear" thing and so on and so on! Stay tuned for updates when our whirlwind dies down! I have not forgotten you! (Now off to clean the kitchen {FYI: my absolute most hated and despised chore ever and I mean EVER} and fold a mountain of laundry!)
