The interview was going great, my friend said, until they got to the "How can you contribute to our program?" This was just last month, at an interview for the MBA program at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. Booth's interviews are by invitation only, and my friend's interviewer had a similar background to his, so he felt confident discussing his professional background, career goals, and why he was seeking the MBA.
On top of that he had prepared well for all the core questions, including "How can you contribute to our program." He had researched Booth's clubs and other outside-of-class activities and drawn clear links between his past/present extracurriculars and potential participation at Booth. But when he said, "I'm really excited about joining Net Impact (a community service club) to build on my past work with several non-profits," the interviewer caught him off-guard with a follow-up: "Great, so whom have you talked to at Net Impact about getting involved and which of their current initiatives are most appealing to you?"
Uh oh. My friend hadn't communicated with anyone in the club, and couldn't remember their current initiatives, though he had seen some examples online during his research. He stumbled a bit then mentioned that he was "in the process of getting that information." They moved on, and the remainder of the interview went well, though my friend was concerned that he had "blown it."
I reassured him that while it would have been ideal to have strong answers to the probing questions, he probably hadn't killed his chances. But he'd learned a valuable lesson, one familiar to anyone who's ever been part of the Boy Scouts of America organization: Always be prepared. While it's impossible to talk to an active member of every club you're interested in at every program to which you apply, it's very reasonable to reach out to current students at several schools, especially those involved in studies or activities you're aiming for and especially those at your top-choice programs. That way you can mention these specific interests with enthusiasm and confidence, knowing you can back up your statements with references to deep research and some communication with current students or alumni.
A little contact can go a long way: for example, if my friend hadn't been in touch with anyone from Net Impact but had talked to someone in the Marketing Club, he could have said something like, "I'm in the process of making contact with students in Net Impact, just like I did with Joe Student in the Marketing Club, who told me about initiatives A and B, which would be perfect for my career goals." That would have transformed his stumbling into a graceful and positive sidestep.
As a final note, you get extra credit not just for knowing a lot about what the school offers but also for knowing its lingo: for example, Kellogg's Global Initiatives in Management program (through which students study international business practices) is abbreviated GIM but pronounced "gym," not G-I-M; the school's Friday happy hour, typically sponsored by student clubs, is called TIGI, but pronounced "tee-jee." Like my friend's stumbling on the Net Impact question, mispronunciations won't take you out of the running, but they may let other, more lingo-savvy candidates pass you up.
For general interview tips and examples of recently asked questions from Booth, Kellogg, and other top b-schools, check out the MBA Interview section of our site. And if you want in-depth interview practice, any Accepted editor would be happy to help.

For quite awhile now I've been telling you how good Glorioso's frozen ravioli is, but I've just recently discovered a new favorite. Their butternut squash version is perfection. I top it with just a little melted butter and some Italian herbs.
2 - QBeadMixology
I recently got a great package from my friend Quinn of QBeadMixology. Her jewelry is really cute, but when she started her Etsy shop the first thing I thought of was spoons, and now I have two of my own plus nom nom earrings :) If you like what you see, you can also follow QBeadMixology on Facebook.
3 - CityTins
It's hard to believe it's already February, but that's ok because I'm making great progress on redeeming my 2013 CityTin. In January, I enjoyed a lunch at Swig with Chris and dinner at Pastiche with my friend Jacquie.
Although I've heard of all the participating restaurants, I'm not familiar with the locations, so I had to google map each. Below is my East side map, and we will be visiting one of these restaurants after touring Growing Power this weekend.
Are you getting sick of me talking about Silpat yet? While I've only had one for a week now, but I've used it every day and it's seriously great. The Kitchn agrees. I've been asked what size I purchased and what size pan I'm using, below are the details.
Silpat Non-Stick Baking Mat - 11 5/8" x 16 1/2"
Nordic Ware Bakers Half Sheet - 13" x 18"
The main reason I haven't owned a Silpat until now is simply because I didn't have a baking sheet that fit any of the various dimensions available. So I bought a half sheet at the same time and they work perfectly together.
5 - Mozzaluna
I should have stuck with my CityTin choices when dining out this past weekend. I had heard great things about Mozzaluna in Brookfield, so I suggested it when a friend asked me to choose a lunch destination.
Unfortunately, our food was just ok and we were given dirty plates for our appetizer. I really wanted to like it, but I don't think I'll be back.

So two weeks ago we used Restaurant DOT com to purchase a voucher for a local restaurant. The experience was poor and the same night we got an email from Restaurant DOT com asking us to leave a review. We left a review which wasn't very flattering. A few days later we check the reviews on Restaurant DOT com and we surprised our review didn't make it. Tonight we check it again (two weeks after leaving the review) and discovered that people that left 4 and 5 star reviews AFTER us had their reviews posted. So it's pretty clear that Restaurant DOT com manipulates the reviews in order to generate more business. Dishonesty sucks.

|Beth and Mike: if that's not great, I don't know what is. The MortBorns were here for a day too. Beth woke up at 5 and took a ride to the sandy beach. Mike rode down there at about 8 am and found her asleep on the beach.
|The Pats, Eberly, and I took a ride on one of my favorite loops. It's about 19 miles. Most of it is climbing. With a great descent.
|It's frigging hot up here. We all wanted Pat Rick's hat. He was riding Pat's bling Elephant.

Life has moved me another small step in the direction of adulthood, increasing my awareness of the childishness of each step before this one, especially those steps that I, at the time, believed to be the most significant and wise in my life. The more I observe intellectualism and spirituality of the most "sophisticated" kinds, the more I realize what children we are, trying to imitate Heaven, not aware that our high exaltation's are an infant's babble, almost unintelligible to the angels. I have found that I have both improved and declined. As I let myself go in childish happiness, I find that I am wiser; but at the same time, I have grown too much, and have begun to descend back into spiritual incoherency.
Through my observations of both the Church and of myself, I have started to see -- although I'm very far from fully understanding -- just how corruptive it is to liturgy and tradition to dichotomize these historic elements from what it means to be a Christian. It is true that the Consecration takes place in the traditional rites regardless of the sentiments of those participating in the Mass, and that God, being present, provides infinite grace; however, when such tradition is clung to, to such an extent where those who partake in it are hypocritical, hateful, cruel and perverted, the efficaciousness of the Mass is affected.
God is infinite, and there is not a single person who participates in the Mass without sin. But the community is part of the Mass; many modern Catholics have misinterpreted this concept and turned the Mass into a get-together instead of the worship of God that it is intended to be. Nonetheless, community is implied in the celebration of the Mass. Do not, therefore, the hateful sentiments held by some in the traditionalist community have the capacity to taint the reception of grace even in the Holiest of celebrations and worship? It is not that such hypocrisy dampens the "feelings" of holiness; but such company, even in a liturgical celebration, has the power to dampen the ability to perceive and remember virtue.
Is it better, when one has a choice, to participate in a technically higher for of worship when you are entering into a community that loves tradition and hates Christ, while one can go to a simpler but equally valid mode of worship where the community may be simpler, but are seeking to love God? Some say that there is greater risk of sacrilege in the simpler liturgies; but is a perfectly celebrated traditional Mass free of sacrilege when its celebrated by people who are shamelessly open about their hypocrisy and perversion? And is this sacrilege better simply because it occurs in a traditional format?
The traditional liturgies are historical, beautiful, and should be maintained and participated in. But in all honesty, the world isn't capable of understanding it, because Catholics both liberal and ultra-conservative have forgotten that they are Christians. The problems began long before Vatican II -- the council would never have resulted in such abuse had the Church been so disconnected from Her roots that she was able to be torn to shreds so easily.
Therefore, before orthodoxy can return to the Church, She must first return to Christianity. The benefits of such a return have already been seen in England, through the Catholic Literary Revival and its followers. By returning to the Gospels, the Epistles, and the Fathers, prominent members of the Church of England found themselves in a conversion of both intellect and faith to the Catholic Church. Even C.S. Lewis, who never took the step to become Catholic, came closer to the truth of the Church than most Catholics will ever come; many converts attribute their conversion to Catholicism -- Catholicism, not merely Christianity -- to Lewis.
If returning to the Christian roots, simple common sense though they were in many ways, could lead to such a powerful revolution of intellect and faith in the minds and hearts of Anglicans, one can only imagine the possibilities if such a "revolution" were to occur within the Church Herself.

Addie Rolnick is an associate professor of law at the William S. Boyd School of Law.
On March 15, Professor Rolnick penned a guest column in the Las Vegas Sun titled "Expansions to Nevada's self-defense law are unnecessary and dangerous."
In the article, Professor Rolnick discusses Nevada's current "stand your
ground" law and examines the implications of the legislature's
consideration of a new bill that would expand Nevada's self-defense law
to make it available in more circumstances and easier to prove.
Professor Rolnick says, "Expanding self-defense law is both unnecessary
and dangerous. …There is also no reason to change the process.
Prosecutors have discretion, so if the self-defense claim seems solid,
the prosecutor may choose not to file charges at all. Changing the
presumption would take these cases away from a jury and would tie a
prosecutor's hands, leaving little or no safeguard to prevent people
from killing out of vengeance or unreasonable fear."
Professor Rolnick's scholarship focuses on bridging gaps between civil
rights, Critical Race Theory, federal Indian law, and indigenous rights.

Real Estate Industry in India
The Indian real estate market is expected to touch USD 180 bn by the year 2020. In India, Real Estate sector is the second largest employer after agriculture and is slated to grow at 30 per cent over the next decade. The sector has been the major beneficiary of the strong economic growth witnessed in India since the year 2000.There are many allied industries which benefit from growth of the real estate sector. That is why this sector has a huge multiplier effect on the economy.So as this sector grows, the national income grows multifold. The Finance Minister has allocated Rs.4000Cr for low cost housing and Rs. 50000 Cr. for urban housing.
According to ICRA, the construction industry ranks 3rd among the 14 major sectors which has direct, indirect and induced effects in all the sectors of the economy. This means that it not only generates employment in Real Estate sector but also stimulates demand in other related sectors like cement, steel, brick, paint, consumer durables, etc. Private equity (PE) funding has picked up in the last one year due to attractive valuations. The Indian Government introducing newer policies which arehelpful to real estate and due to that this sector has gained sufficient growth in recent times.

Spring is here, which means it's time to clean the decks in Minnesota – literally. "We have a lot of people wanting to freshen them up," says Nate Sockness, manager of Hirshfield's Woodbury location, "and also a lot of people wanting to get them done before high school graduation season."
That deck work is happening right now. It's prime time for deck cleaning and staining, he says, because you need two or three days of warm, dry weather to do it right. Keep your eye on the weather and use Nate's tips for cleaning and staining your deck.

For Individual Players
For Clan Leaders
After downloading the app - and reading the Safety Check and agreeing to the Terms of Service - how do I play this game?
Your goal is to add as many unique species to your collection as you can. There are two ways to do this.
- Take photos of unique species yourself.
- Receive species from other players who join your quests.
What's the best strategy to follow?
1) Start with your locality. Take photos of whatever wildlife you can. This will earn you some gold to get you started. You're give some powerful equipment at the beginning, so your first 10 sightings will receive quick responses. (See the "What is Equipment?" section below).
2) Start joining local quests to increase the gold you earn for your sightings.
3) With the gold you earn, upgrade your equipment to increase the priority of your sightings, and the depth of identification (see the "What is Equipment?" section below).
4) Start creating quests, join a clan, invite other players to head-to-head challenges to increase your gold and grow your species collection.
How do I earn questa-gold?
There are several ways to earn gold:
- Submit a new sighting, either by taking a photo, or by selecting a recent photo from your gallery.
IMPORTANT: Sightings submitted as part of quests earn much more gold than non-quest sightings.
Create quests and receive a percentage of the gold earned by other players for the quest you created.
Join a clan. Clans can win Clan-of-the-Day, which earn bonus gold that's distributed equally to clan members.
Challenge other players to head-to-head competitions.
Can I earn real money?
If you have wildlife expertise, you can earn real money which gets donated to an organisation of your choice. See http://questagame.com/expert
What's a Head-to-Head Challenge?
Menu > Head-to-Head Challenge allows you to challenge other players in the game - or people you invite to join the game - to a 72-hour competition. If they accept the challenge, then you have 72 hours to earn more gold than they do. If you challenge another player and win, you receive bonus gold.
How do I submit a "New Sighting?
Simple. Tap the camera icon - or Menu > New Sighting - and either take a new photo or submit a photo from your device's gallery. For gallery submissions, if your photo is not geo-tagged, you will be asked to select a location.
Do I need to be online to submit a "New Sighting"?
How much gold do I receive per sighting?
If the sighting is of a species, and comes from your device, or from an external camera with geo-tagging functionality, gold is awarded based on the rarity of the species for that location and season. (The system uses regional biodiversity data to calculate the gold reward). If the external photo is not geo-tagged, there's a chance that gold may not be rewarded, but the sighting still counts toward your overall score and is added to your Collection.
The gold earned for sightings of locations on the map is based on the distance travelled between locations.
What do I do with the gold?
The gold allows you to join/create quests, join/create clans, start head-to-head challenges, buy supplies, equipment, and transport.
What is "Equipment"?
Your equipment determines how fast, and to what level of detail, your sightings will be verified. Some equipment also gives bonus gold. You can buy new equipment in Menu > Shop, and change the equipment at any time. Each equipment has a
- Priority rating. The higher the rating, the more quickly your sighting will be verified compared to others.
- Depth of ID rating. The higher the rating, the deeper the identification you'll receive. So, for example, a low depth of ID might result in a sighting coming back as a "Bird" or a "Parrot." Whereas a higher depth of ID might result in a species-level identification (e.g. "Eastern Rosella (Platycercus eximius)" with some scientific notes about the birds behaviour, etc.
Note: If you submit a sighting with low depth of ID equipment, but you've correctly identified the sighting yourself, you'll still receive credit for your identification. For this reason, if you already know the species you're submitting, you're better off submitting the sighting with a low depth of iD (you can save high-level depth of ID equipment for specimens you don't know).
IMPORTANT: Each new binoculars expires after a fixed number of verified sightings (default = 25).
What are "Supplies"?
Supplies allow you to join and create quests. (Note: In the next iteration of the game, supplies will determine the bonus gold you receive for your activity, with the attributes of each supply visible in the shop). Supplies expire after a certain number of days.
What is "Transport"?
Your transport determines how many supplies you can carry at the same time. The larger your transport, the more supplies you can carry simultaneously.
How do I start a Clan?
Go to Playing as a Group - Clans.
What about my data? It's shared with biodiversity research databases, right? What if I don't want that?
If you don't want your sightings data (photos, locations, your user name) shared with biodiversity databases for scientific research and conservation, simply go to the app's Menu > Settings - and turn off the "share" option. By default, sharing is on.
If you turn off sharing, QuestaGame will still process your sightings and other players will be able to see them. But photos and location data will not be shared outside the game, and the maps are not zoomed in to show detailed locations.
If you're concerned about privacy but want your sightings data to contribute to scientific research and conservation, we recommend ensuring you use a fake name as your user name. In fact, we recommend creating a fake character name in any case.
Any other advice?
Yes! Keep an eye on the Dashboard > Comms for the latest information. Also, make sure you read through the QuestaGame Safety Check! It's very important.
My community has many groups. Can I have multiple clans, one for each group?
Absolutely. An organisation with multiple clans is what we call a tribe. The great thing about a tribe is that you can have competitions in which your clans compete against each other. This is an excellent way to get your community learning about and engaging with nature, while increasing your biodiversity map at the same time.
As a clan leader, can I communicate with my clan members?
Yes. You can message the entire clan through the app. Within the app, clan members can view messages and communicate with fellow clan members via Menu > Clans > My Clan.
How do I start a quest for my clan members?
Easy. You can do this within the app itself (Menu > Quests). Or, even easier, simply contact firstname.lastname@example.com and let the support team set up the quest for you. We have a lot of experience in setting up quests to meet specific targets.
If we're a QuestaGame Partner, can we earn money?
Yes. That's because a lot of environmental organisations have members with wildlife expertise. Maybe you have a member who can identify plants. Or an experienced entomologist. Or a good twitcher (someone who collects bird sightings). QuestaGame needs these experts to help identify and verify sightings, which is why it's willing to pay your organisation a donation for their expertise. For more information, see here.
How does QuestaGame verify sightings so quickly?
QuestaGame has cultivated a unique network of taxonomy experts around the world, and as more QGame players improve their skills, the network of verifiers expands. QuestaGame believes that environmental expertise is valuable to society and deserves remuneration. A significant portion of clan payments goes toward funding top experts and ensuring quality verifications.
What's an easy way to start promoting my clan or tribe?
There are two simple ways to do it.
First, once your clan or tribe is set up, you will receive the URL of your public clan page. This page will have a map of your "Territory." It will also have a "Join Clan" button on it.
You can send this link around to your community and people can click the "Join Clan."
Second, you will also receive a login for the QuestaGame web portal. Once you login, you can go to My Clans > Invite players. You can invite existing QGame players (you can find them on your "Territory" map), or you can invite non-QGame people by entering their email addresses.
What analytics will I have access to?
Once your clan or tribe is created, you can login to the QuestaGame portal and view the sightings as they come in (Menu > Activity). You can also see your biodiversity map and scores. More stats will be available as the site develops. If you'd like any specific data about your community's activity, simply contact firstname.lastname@example.com and we can provide it for you. We can even offer a cool looking reporting template.
(Note: We do not provide personal data about users).
How much assistance can we expect from QuestaGame?
As much as you require. Bigger clans and tribes will obviously require more assistance. We're here to help with whatever you need - including setting up quests and competitions as required. A win for you is a win for environmental education and conservation - which is what QuestaGame is all about.

Spring and summer are usually a warm, lively time of year in Israel. Tourists come in droves, especially in the summer months. Visitors can enjoy experiencing some of the Jewish holidays when they're staying at any one of the many Jerusalem hotels. If you plan to visit the country from mid-March to September, then read on and find out about some of the Jewish happenings during this time.
Purim is the feast of Esther, when the Jews triumphed over the wicked Haman. It's similar to a toned down Mardi Gras, where you'll find people walking the streets around your Jerusalem hotel in colorful customs, with perhaps a whiskey or wine bottle in their hand. On Purim, it's a commandment to get so drunk that you can't tell the difference between good and evil. Israelis really take this commandment to heart, as you'll hear people from your Jerusalem hotel laughing noisily and a bit drunk through the streets. Purim usually falls out in March.
Passover (Pesach) is celebrated at the end of March or April, and lasts 7 days. The first day is the Passover Seder night, which is celebrated in one form or another by the majority of Israelis. Since bread and even bread products are forbidden to be eaten during Passover, you won't be served any sandwiches, etc, at your Jerusalem hotel, unless you don't mind matzah sandwiches. Thousands of people visit the Western Wall during this holiday – you can feel the electricity of the area. Most Jerusalem hotels are jam-packed during this time.
Pentecost (Shavuot)
Shavuot falls out in May or June, depending upon the year. In Israel, it's celebrated for one day. This day commemorates the receiving of the Bible at Mount Sinai. Dairy foods are usually eaten – you'll see lots of cheesecakes and cheese blintzes at your Jerusalem hotel's restaurant. Shavuot is one of the three pilgrimage holidays where Jews were commanded to bring their sacrifices to Jerusalem. Today, Jews from all over Israel as well as the world congregate at the Western Wall to follow the commandment to visit Jerusalem.
Tisha B'Av
Tisha B'Av (9th of Av) falls out in July or August. It commemorates the destruction of the first and second temples in Jerusalem. All that remains is the Western Wall, which is visited by hundreds of thousands of worshippers during Tisha B'Av.

Buckhead is the uptown district of Atlanta, Georgia, United States, comprising approximately the northern one-fifth of the city. Buckhead is a major commercial and financial center of the Southeast, and it is the third-largest business district in Atlanta, behind Downtown and Midtown. The district's high-rise office buildings, hotels, and condominiums form a highly urbanized core along Peachtree Road. Surrounding this dense core are Buckhead's suburban neighborhoods, which feature large single-family homes situated among dense forests and rolling hills.
In 1838, Henry Irby purchased 202 1/2 acres surrounding the present intersection of Peachtree, Roswell, and West Paces Ferry roads from Daniel Johnson for $650. Irby subsequently established a general store and tavern at the northwest corner of the intersection. The name "Buckhead" comes from a story that Irby killed a large buck deer and placed the head in a prominent location.Prior to this, the settlement was called Irbyville. By the late 1800s, Buckhead had become a rural vacation spot for wealthy Atlantans.
Buckhead remained dominated by country estates until after World War I, when many of Atlanta's wealthy began building mansions among the area's rolling hills. Despite the stock market crash of 1929, lavish mansions were still constructed in Buckhead throughout the Great Depression. In 1930, Henry Aaron Alexander built one of the largest homes on Peachtree Road, a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) house with 33 rooms and 13 bathrooms.The community was annexed by Atlanta in 1952, following an earlier attempt by Mayor William B. Hartsfield in 1946 that was voted down by residents.
To reverse a downturn in Buckhead Village during the 1980s, minimum parking spot requirements for bars were lifted, which quickly led to it becoming the most dense concentration of bars and clubs in the city, such as BAR, World Bar, Lulu's Bait Shack, Mako's, Tongue & Groove, Chaos, John Harvard's Brew House, Paradox, Frequency & Havana Club
Beginning in 2000, residents sought to ameliorate the crime situation by taking measures to reduce the community's nightlife and re-establish a more residential character. The Buckhead Coalition's president and former Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell, along with councilwoman Mary Norwood were instrumental in persuading the Atlanta City Council to pass a local ordinance to close bars at 2:30 AM rather than 4 AM, and liquor licenses were made more difficult to obtain. Eventually, most of the Buckhead Village nightlife district was acquired for the "Buckhead Atlanta" multi-use project, and many of the former bars and clubs were razed in 2007.
In 2008, a newsletter by the Fulton County Taxpayers Foundation began circulating that proposed the secession of Buckhead into its own city after more than 50 years as part of Atlanta. This came on the heels of neighboring Sandy Springs, which finally became a city in late 2005 after a 30-year struggle to incorporate, and which triggered other such incorporations in metro Atlanta's northern suburbs. Like those cities, the argument to create a city of Buckhead is based on the desire for more local control and lower taxes.
Buckhead roughly covers the interior of the "V" formed by Interstate 85 on the east and Interstate 75 on the west. Buckhead is bordered by Cumberland and Vinings in Cobb County to the northwest, the city of Sandy Springs to the north, Brookhaven and North Druid Hills in DeKalb County to the east, Midtown Atlanta to the south, and West Midtown to the west.
Buckhead comprises most of the neighborhoods of Atlanta's north side, 43 in total.
According to Forbes Magazine, Buckhead is home to the ninth-wealthiest zip code in the US (30327), with a household income in excess of $341,000 per year and is the location of the wealthiest of Atlanta's neighborhoods. Home to the Georgia Governor's Mansion, the area's real estate market is also the most expensive in the state of Georgia with an average home value in 2005 of approximately $761,000. Two of the nation's fourteen Mobil five-star restaurants — Seeger's and The Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead — can be found here. The Robb Report magazine has consistently ranked Buckhead one of the nation's "10 Top Affluent Communities" due to "the most beautiful mansions, best shopping, and finest restaurants in the Southeastern United States". Due to its wealth, Buckhead is sometimes promoted as the "Beverly Hills of the East" or "Beverly Hills of the South" in reference to Beverly Hills, California, an area to which it is often compared.
At the heart of Buckhead around the intersections of Lenox, Peachtree and Piedmont Roads, is a shopping district with more than 1,400 retail units where shoppers spend more than $1 billion a year. In addition, Buckhead contains the highest concentration of upscale boutiques in the United States. The majority are located at Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza, sister regional malls located diagonally across from each other at the intersection of Peachtree and Lenox Roads. The malls are home to designer boutiques, mainstream national retailers, as well as six major department stores. This commercial core also has a concentration of "big-box" retailers.
The "Buckhead Atlanta" mixed use development originally aimed to bring even more exclusive boutiques, restaurants, hotels, condos and office space to Buckhead.In 2011 developer Oliver McMillan bought the property and plans to build a scaled-down version, not an upscale shopping district, but an "urban village" woven into the community with 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2) of retail and restaurants, 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) of boutique offices and two 20-story luxury apartment buildings.
Buckhead is also a center for healthcare, and is home both to Piedmont Hospital and the private, catastrophic care hospital Shepherd Center which specializes in spinal cord injury and acquired brain injury. The two hospitals are located adjacent to one another along Peachtree Road. This location is known as "Cardiac Hill" by runners of the annual Peachtree Road Race.
While much of west and north Buckhead is preserved as single-family homes in forested settings, the Peachtree Road corridor has become a major focus of high-rise construction. The first 400-foot (121 m) office tower, Tower Place, opened in 1974. Park Place, built in 1986, was the first 400+ foot (121+ m) condominium building. 1986 also saw the completion of the 425-foot (129 m), 34-story Atlanta Plaza, then Buckhead's tallest and largest building. In 2000, Park Avenue Condominiums pushed the record to 486 feet (148 m). Since that time, a wave of development has followed. The 660-foot (201 m) Sovereign and 580-foot (177 m) Mandarin Oriental were completed in 2008. Today, Buckhead has over 50 high-rise buildings, almost one-third of the city's total.[39]
Primary and secondary schools
Public schools in Buckhead are administered by Atlanta Public Schools.
The following public elementary schools serve Buckhead:
- E. Rivers Elementary School
- Garden Hills Elementary School
- Morris Brandon Elementary School
- Sarah Rawson Smith Elementary School
- Warren T. Jackson Elementary School
The area is served by Sutton Middle School and North Atlanta High School.
By 2012, due to overall population increases in Buckhead, many schools became increasingly crowded. Brandon Elementary was at 97% capacity, Garden Hills was at 102% capacity, E. Rivers was at 121% capacity, and Sutton was at 150% capacity. In the round of school zone change proposals in 2012, Ernie Suggs of the Atlanta Journal Constitution said that the zones of Buckhead "remained pretty much intact."[40]
Local private schools include the Atlanta International School, the Atlanta Speech School, Christ the King School, the Atlanta Girls School, The Galloway School, The Heiskell School, Holy Spirit Preparatory School, Trinity School, The Lovett School, Pace Academy, and The Westminster Schools.

The actress has been producing films for the last decade since her hit 1999 movie Never Been Kissed, but stepped behind the camera for the first time to work on the 2009 comedy
And although Barrymore saw helming a movie as "new territory", she's convinced her work as a kid with her godfather Steven Spielberg stood her in good stead to successfully direct.
She tells the Press Association, "I handled my godfather's (Spielberg's) scripts when I was six years old. I've been training for this my whole life, and I'm OK with 'slow and steady wins the race'.
"After producing for 15 years, working with all the filmmakers I worked with, learning what I like and don't like and really immersing myself in the process, I felt much more prepared to go walk that plank because I knew what I was walking into.
"You still have to be humble and know you're on a learning curve because directing is a whole other animal, no matter how good a producer you are, or how much you've been watching people. To become the captain of a ship is just new territory."

Taking photos does not only require a great camera, but you need to know the best techniques to get the best frames. Photography is the most widespread hobby among people of all ages, but it is difficult to master. To take good photographs, there's a set of skills you can work on if you are not a professional Photographer.
Most of us (including me), use the pictures for personal mean, as memories, and maybe to keep active social media. When you are a traveler by heart, it's a lot more about taking pictures and living experiences, than to leave a print, or vandalize, or do the typical "X was here". You meet friends and make memories of special moments.
Let's be honest: When you are traveling, you are about living the experience and not just getiing the report from pictures. So first of all… ENJOY!
Furthermore, consider these 10 tips from professionals and take advantage of your next vacation to test these skills!
Choose the best camera for you. Not all cameras are for everyone.
Not all cameras are for everyone. Note: I'm talking about people who take pictures for fun and don't have any professional training.
Some people like an old school-focus-with-the-rotating lens, and some are about smartphones and gopros. I can confess I have both. And I used to have one of those Waterproof cameras, but it fell to the floor, and the next time I used it, the waterproof seal had broken, and I had no more camera. Still, I would LOVE to have another one.
Decide what you want to carry, how much equipment you can handle, and the photos you want to achieve. There is every size, every price and every taste.
Have fun!
1. Be patient
One trend that has generalized in digital photography is the will to take photos constantly, creating a whole stock of similar photos of poor quality. It is important to wait for the perfect snap and take your time to analyze the mistakes you make. Choose the light, choose the target, and wait for the magic to happen. You'll know exactly the moment you want to capture.
2. Be Flexible
You will not always have the perfect conditions for photographing, as in the case of sunset where the colors and the lights change quickly. You need to be flexible and adjust the settings of the camera to light changes. Whenever you take pictures sure not always take the same perspective, but vary slightly even if the position or the camera settings.
3. Know and handle the camera settings
This is essential for great results. Controlling the aperture, the shutter time … it's more than theory, you need to know your camera and above all, practice a lot!. The main adjustments you need to know are the focus, depth of field and exposure. If you are working with a smartphone find the exposure, the focus and the HDR.
The best way to get that incredible shot, is to know the tools you are working with.
4. Learn to choose the right lens
When taking photos, not all objectives serve for all possible situations to snap, so it is essential to know to choose them. In low light scenarios you can choose a more specific focusing lens, to capture the little light there is. With photography in large spaces is better to use a wide angle, and to capture distant objects it is better to use telephoto.
5. Remember to always carry spare batteries and cards
A rule of thumb, since running out or no space on the card battery in a session is unforgivable. It is important that before you out on your photo hunt; think about what you should bring, and consider making a backup of the hard drive just in case. Still, nowadays we have GB over GB in small cards, so one or two spares will do the trick perfectly.
6. Use a tripod
This element is key to low light photography. The tripod is your friend. The tripod improves the stability of the camera, sharpness of images and focus on long exposure times. The trigger distance is a good idea to avoid camera shake when you press the button.
7. Power your creativity
The "photographer's eye" is essential: try different angles and perspectives when you have a camera. Fear not shooting in bright light spaces because you can get great results, and finally previously inspect the place to get different or creative perspectives. I'm sure that you will great amazing ideas when you check out the site and the opportunities it offers!
8. Seek simplicity in your composition
Sometimes you want to be so faithful to the reality, that you overdo it. You include too many objects and generate the opposite effect. Try to be simple, that's always a hit. Landscapes should be simple and respect the horizon. If you accompany it with an object in the foreground, it's better. Also, keep in mind that the more you focus on single objects or spaces, the more you can capture the beauty, texture or feel of that place. Furthermore, it becomes more of a ticket to memory lane, because you will see them in your pictures as closely as you saw them live.
9. Get closer to the subject
When taking pictures of people, get close to them. Not only it is a good portrait but you can also absorb the reality of the place and generate impactful situations in photography. So you'll capture his personality better and you will have a unique story. Taking photos of people is the best way to capture the experiences you have lived through someone elses eyes.
10. Never give up
Taking photos is very difficult because you must consider many variables, but it's not impossible. If you persist and learn from your mistakes you will improve a lot. Review the results and find the problems in the composition and stories. You never know where your hobby can take you.
Taking photos is life!
Above all, cherish your memories and enjoy the ride! Taking photos may be one thing, but it's important to live and breathe the moment you are in. Don't be afraid to put your camera and phone down and enjoy the view with your own two eyes. Maybe you won't be taking photos of the most amazing sunset you have ever seen, but breathing in and keeping the sight in your memory is a feeling you will always remember, no matter how many pictures you missed.
Happy snapping!

I felt like I really needed to do an article on these amazing boys. Not even 10 seconds after their debut music video started I fell in love with them *.*. This article will be divided in two parts, a first part where you will get to know them, if you don't already, and a second part with a review of their debut MV, "Knock".
Let's get to it!!
Get to know: KNK

KNK – Knock
The boys debuted on the 3rd of March with the MV "Knock". We can already see that, for a rookie group, they have stable voices and a mature concept. I really think they're a promising group that you need to look out for, in a near future. I wished their single debut was actually a mini album because I just love their voices so much!!
The music video has multiple interesting scenes. The first one is a dance scene, in an underground room light up with a blue light in the background. It's in this scene that the boys show you their amazing and original talents in dance; Something like you have never seen before. The other scenes are, in fact, the member's individual scenes; Each member has his own scene. The first one to start the song is Inseong. He lays on a sofa and becomes the head of the dance. Jihun takes the lead and looks through a broken glass with a hole. Youjin is in a room with a washstand. He sings most of the first verse while looking in the mirror and dancing. Seungjun is the fourth one to go up and he is in the middle for the dance and lays in a bathtub. The song speeds up and becomes much more energetic. The chorus is something very special in my opinion. Heejun's scene is him sitting in front of a door locked with chains. After his scene, the member's scenes repeat as they sing or rap. The only difference is the dance scene that changes to a black and white theme. It's a unique concept, different from anything else you can see in Kpop.
What I really like with this group is that all the members get an equal amount of lines. You will be able to hear each of their beautiful voices as much as you want!!
Check out their debut MV "Knock" below:
Just on case you would like to hear and see how good they are live, here's their first stage on M! Countdown:
What do you think of this group? Pretty good, right?!

There are plenty of interesting takes available on Sony's new media/game console. The neat tricks seem to be the most popular. An Anonymous Coward writes "A blogger figured out how to batch convert e-books so they can be read on your PSP. Check out the guide here for a complete walkthrough on this method." Meanwhile, RyuuzakiTetsuya writes "PSP Vault has a great story on how to Use Non-Duo Memory Sticks on a PSP! The process involves using an adapter that's meant for a Sony Ericcson phone." Via Joystiq, a way to get Tivo content on your PSP. Out in the real world there is already talk of the opening weekend sales. Doomstalk writes "According to IGN sales of the PSP have been lukewarm, with many outlets selling as little as 10 out of the 80 units they received." The PSP is currently burning up the charts in Japan, though, where the console has been out for a while. Early adopters on a holiday weekend may not be the best yardstick. Official numbers from the first weekend of sales likely available on Monday.

Whether you are due for a regular dental exam and professional teeth cleaning or you desire cosmetic enhancements to produce a better smile, we can help you. Ultimately, it is our objective to ensure the lifelong health of your teeth, gums and mouth, and they accomplish this by providing the following:
• Prevention: Professional cleaning and polishing of your teeth, advice on your daily dental hygiene, custom-made mouth guards, and sealants can help stave off dental wear, decay and disease before it begins.
• Restoration: This covers everything from fillings to teeth replacement such as bridgework, dentures and dental implants.
• Cosmetic procedures: Treatments that enhance your smile such as teeth whitening, bonding (for chipped or cracked teeth), and veneers.
• Health: Taking care of your teeth can have a direct impact on issues beyond your mouth. Poor dental health has been linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other issues.
What Happens during the Initial Dental Exam?
At Dr. Gurklis D.M.D., the patient's oral health is our primary concern. As your dedicated dentist in Vero Beach, FL, we strive to make sure that the patient's gum and teeth health is exemplary, and we exert every effort to achieve the goals we have set for ourselves and our patients. To be able to better deliver our dental services in Vero Beach, FL, an extensive initial oral examination is always our first order of business. An initial oral examination will involve a series of tests and procedures that will give the dentist an insight into the actual condition of the patient's oral health.
During your first exam, your dentist will look for signs of:
• Tooth decay
• Teeth grinding
• Bone loss
• Oral cancer
• Periodontal (gum) disease

From dental implants to teeth whitening treatments, visit me for each of your options. Schedule your appointment today to discover more on my services for your condition.
Teeth Cleaning and Gum Therapy
Most people call our dental office because it's time to have their teeth cleaned. Professional teeth cleanings remove cavity-causing plaque and calculus. Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria that builds on your teeth every time you eat or drink.
Brushing and flossing alone won't dislodge calculus. Only a professional dental cleaning can remove the bacteria from the surfaces of the teeth and in hard-to-reach places between the teeth.
The bacteria in your mouth can attack your gums as well as your teeth. During your visit, our team will check for the existence of gum disease and for signs of gum or jaw bone deterioration. Gum disease, which is also called periodontal disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Many people don't realize that the first stage of gum disease is gingivitis.
What are Dental Implant Prostheses
Dental implant prostheses are essentially replacement teeth that are attached to or supported by implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. There are a variety of implant prostheses available depending on the specific needs and conditions of the patient. The most common implant prostheses include:
• Single Prosthesis – A crown attached to its own implant, used to replace a single missing tooth.
• Partial Prosthesis or Fixed Bridge – A partial prosthesis is used to replace a long span of missing teeth and is removable. A fixed bridge replaces multiple teeth, is not removable and requires at least two implants.
• Complete Dental Prosthesis – A removable or fixed prosthesis used to replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
Choosing The Right Type Of Prosthesis
A comprehensive exam is necessary to determine the condition of your mouth and your suitability for a specific type of prosthesis. Dr. Gurklis will work with you to create the most appropriate treatment plan for your dental situation. We will explain every treatment option and give you an estimate of cost. Based on the information gathered at your examination, we will let you know if a fixed or removable implant supported prosthesis is right for you.
Prepare to smile with confidence and live your life to the fullest. Your journey to a more beautiful, younger looking you starts with a consultation with Dr. Gurklis.

Implant-Supported Dentures
An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is supported by and attached to implants. A regular denture rests on the gums, and is not supported by implants.
An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn't have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants.
Implant-supported dentures usually are made for the lower jaw because regular dentures tend to be less stable there. Usually, a regular denture made to fit an upper jaw is quite stable on its own and doesn't need the extra support offered by implants. However, you can receive an implant-supported denture in either the upper or lower jaw.
You should remove an implant-supported denture daily to clean the denture and gum area. Just as with regular dentures, you should not sleep with the implant-supported dentures at night. Some people prefer to have fixed (permanent) crown and bridgework in their mouths that can't be removed. Dr Gurklis will consider your particular needs and preferences when suggesting fixed or removable options.
TC Vs. Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments
While there are a lot of OTC tooth whitening kits on the market, many patients who go the OTC route use the products incorrectly. Applying the bleaching solution on the gums, for instance, can cause gum recession, which is a leading cause of tooth sensitivity.
We can help you achieve a bright smile the safe and effective way with professional dental whitening treatments.
Quicker, Safer, And More Effective With Dr Gurklis
Unlike OTC whitening, our tooth whitening services in Vero Beach, FL, performed by Michael Gurklis DDS, provide the following advantages:
• Whiter teeth – the whitening products we use in our office are professional strength and more effective than what you find in stores.
• Quicker results – why wait for your teeth to whiten with OTC teeth whitening kits? If you want immediate results, our professional tooth whitening treatment is the best option.
• Treatment of deep stains – there's a good chance that the OTC kit you bought won't be strong enough to treat tough stains. Our whitening system is strong enough to produce noticeable results quickly.
• Professional application – OTC whitening kits are subject to user error. Whether it's leaving the product on too long or applying the bleach incorrectly, there are many opportunities to make mistakes. With professional help, you can be confident that you are whitening your teeth the right way.
Inlays & Onlays
Choose a durable and long-lasting solution to your damaged teeth. Inlays and onlays are custom treatments that deliver a stable fit for patients. They are an ideal solution for those living with the following:
- Chipped Teeth
- Discolored Teeth
- Misshapen Teeth
- Gapped Teeth
- Fractures
- Slightly Crooked Teeth
- Other Minor Cosmetic Dentistry Issues
A Restored Smile with Porcelain Crowns
A crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that is secured over remaining natural tooth structure. A crown is an ideal way to rebuild weakened or broken tooth structure due to large existing fillings or tooth decay. Crowns add strength to teeth and offer a very natural shape.
Our dental office offers crowns made from porcelain, which provide a more natural appearance than other types of crown materials. Porcelain crowns look and feel natural as they are designed to match the contours of your existing teeth.
Dr. Gurklis takes the time to discuss the various crown materials with her patients in order to determine what best fits each person's individual dental situation.
Dental Bridges for Missing Teeth
A typical bridge is comprised of an anchor tooth on either side of a space with an artificial tooth in the middle. The three teeth are splinted together and cemented as one. Like crowns, bridges are a relatively affordable, low risk and time tested treatment for missing teeth.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a bridge can last for many, many years.
If you think you are a candidate for a crown or bridge, Dr. Gurklis is happy to discuss your options and help determine the best dental treatment plan for you.
What Are Dental Fillings?
A dental filling is a treatment used to restore teeth damaged by tooth decay or trauma. This treatment can restore your teeth back to their normal shape and function. During the procedure, we prepare the tooth to accommodate the new filling material and remove all decay. We then clean the affected area and fill it with restorative material.
Tooth-Colored Fillings: The Aesthetically Appealing Option
There are many types of dental filling materials including: amalgam (silver) as well as gold inlays and onlays. Perhaps, however, the most aesthetically pleasing option today is tooth-colored filling material or composite.
Aside from its natural appearance, here are some of other advantages of tooth-colored fillings:
• Composite can be used on both the front and back teeth without compromising aesthetics.
• Unlike other types of filling materials, which reach maximum strength in about 24 hours, tooth-colored fillings harden in seconds with the use of an ultraviolet light.
• Composites can be easily repaired when damaged.
If you're interested in replacing your old amalgam fillings or are simply looking for ways to fix your tooth decay, Dr Gurklis and his team can help.
Correcting Your Smile with Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells made of plastic that are placed over patients' teeth to protect them from surface damage or to improve their aesthetic appearance. Veneers are frequently used with chipped teeth, cracked teeth, or stained teeth. They are hard and durable, so you can eat normally. The cosmetic dentist will ensure the veneer matches your natural tooth shade and translucency, so people won't even know you have one. Best of all, porcelain veneers do not stain the way teeth do, and can last between seven and 20 years.
What should I expect when getting veneers?
Getting dental veneers would require multiple visits to the dentist's office. During the initial visit, the dentist will conduct a thorough check of the patient's teeth and formulate a diagnosis that will support the use of veneers to improve the patient's overall oral health. To help facilitate this process, x-rays of the mouth will be taken, as well as impressions of the patient's teeth so that the dentist can formulate an effective treatment plan that would achieve the results that both the patient and the dentist are aiming for. The patient has to be very clear on the outcome that he is expecting in order for the dentist to build the treatment plan around his expectations.
The next appointment would potentially involve the preparation the patient's teeth for the veneers by trimming down a portion of the enamel from the indicated tooth surface. Prior to this procedure, the dentist may administer a local anesthetic to desensitize the patient and lessen discomfort. The amount of enamel that will be trimmed off is going to be the same thickness as the veneer that will be applied onto the tooth. If the veneers are being fabricated elsewhere, then temporary veneers will be given to the patient to wear, until the time that the custom-made veneers are ready to be bonded onto their teeth. When the veneers are ready, the receiving teeth will be cleaned, polished, and surfaces will be etched in order to make the surface rough and allow for a stronger bonding process. The veneers will then be cemented onto the teeth and adjusted to achieve optimum appearance. A curing light will then be applied to the dental veneers to activate a specific chemical reaction in the cement that will cause them to harden quickly. Finally, the patient's bite will be assessed and adjustments will be made to remove any excess cement.
What results should I expect from getting veneers?
Most patients that get veneers are completely satisfied with the results. Smiles have been instantly transformed with the use of veneers and the results are generally long lasting. Because of advancements in dental technology, veneers can now last anywhere between 10 to 30 years with proper care and maintenance.

The Crytek Website has the official announcement of Warface, following the revelation of plans for their next project first hinted at well over a year ago. The game is a free-to-play online first-person shooter for PCs set in the near future which will offer "a cinematic experience with next gen visuals," and "a constantly updated extensive PVE universe full of dramatic multiplayer co-op missions, a full set of class based PVP." The game is being co-produced by Crytek Seoul, and is being targeted specifically at "the Korean and other Asian markets," so there's no word at this time on whether to expect this for western markets as well. "Our passion is to always deliver the best gaming experience possible. That's why we opened our Crytek Seoul office in 2008 which today enables us to offer a game that is tailored to suit its market. We're excited to debut with Warface in South Korea and to deliver a compelling and truly unique experience soon," says Cevat Yerli, CEO & President of Crytek.

Today on FiveByFiveHundred.com, I tried another small experiment meta-flashfiction experiment (but I swear, it's not nearly as pretentious as that phrasing sounds. Honest). It was partially inspired by (or possibly expounds upon?) a previous piece that I wrote for the website, titled The NightShift (which is, in turn, the inspiration for a fictional comic book fictionally written by the protagonist of my play True Believers), because sometimes, I guess I just like writing stories about stories. But, you know. With heart.

Spring Home Sale Season Shows Signs of a Bust
This month's report extends a slowdown as sales were down on an annual basis for three straight months
A booming economy is providing little boost to the critical spring homebuying season, which is stuck in neutral due to a lack of inventory, high home prices and rising mortgage rates.
Existing home sales have declined compared with a year earlier in four out of the first five months of this year. Sales of previously owned U.S. homes dropped 0.4% in May from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.43 million—the second-consecutive month they declined, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

The Wild West of Film
Otessa Ghadar has been breaking ground in new media since 2007 and is widely praised for her pioneer work in the web series format. Her book, The Wild West of Film, takes readers step by step through the script-to-screen process. It focuses on specifics of the "small screen," including short form script-writing and story structure, budgeting and breakdowns, post-production for online viewing, self-distribution, best practices for social media, film festival lists & strategies, and more. The Wild West of Film: Social Media, Chapter 8 of the full book, is now being used for a course at American University. The full book and each individual chapter are available as an ebook or in paperback.
The emergence of Web TV allows anyone with a creative mind the chance to gather a worldwide audience […], Otessa Ghadar is taking advantage of the growing trend.
There aren't many non-reality web series that manage to be creatively, critically and commercially successful, but the teen drama Orange Juice in Bishop's Garden [produced by Otessa Ghadar] definitely achieves the trifecta.
–TV Week
The great personal stories she intersperses as her 'tales from the trenches' in the book draw most effectively from her experiences in a place where few had gone before. Whether the Wild West in her title describes her time starting out or the world of online video today is no matter. The book is meant to give notes from an early explorer (think Lewis and Clark), serving advice for would-be filmmakers on scripting, storytelling; directing and cinematography; fundraising; production planning; editing and post-production; marketing and promotion; web analytics; distribution; web design; and more.
–Peter B. Kaufman, Associate Director; Columbia Center for Teaching and Learning
Long before the television networks ever heard the word webisode, pioneer filmmakers like Otessa Ghadar were making those webisodes and posting them on the Internet.
–All Voices
This a really great guide on the script to screen process.
–Stephani DeLuca, Digital Media & Film Producer; Gossip Girl, The Amazing Spider-Man
The Wild West of Film is an excellent educational text that provides film students and amateur independent filmmakers with a comprehensive overview of the modern independent filmmaking process. Otessa Ghadar uses her experience as a filmmaker and web series creator to provide unique insight on the realities of being an independent storyteller in the digital age. As a teaching assistant in a directing course that used The Wild West of Film as its primary text, I can say that the book served as a valuable resource for the students, providing them with a strong foundation of knowledge for each stage of the filmmaking process.
–Michael Henry, MFA Candidate and Teaching Assistant at American University, School of Communication
