Q&A with Rachel Hand '18, rugby player
This week the Dartmouth sat down with rising senior Rachel Hand '18 of the women's rugby team. Hand has helped lead the Big Green to back-to-back Ivy League Championships for rugby 15s. In addition, she was a crucial player in the team's win of the 2017 National Intercollegiate Rugby Association 7s Challenge Cup and the fourth place finish at the USA Rugby College 7s this past spring. Due to her impressive contributions, Hand was named co-MVP by coaches and fellow players. Apart from rugby, Hand is also committed to service work, investing much time in the Summer Enrichment at Dartmouth program. This summer Hand will serve as an assistant student director of mentorship for SEAD.
What did it feel like to receive an MVP award last season?
RH: It was really nice of my teammates and coaches to give me and my teammate Camille Johnson MVP awards for the year. Both of us and all of our other teammates have worked really hard to grow together and compete at higher levels. It was really humbling to receive the award and I am just grateful for my teammates and coaches who always push me to be a better teammate and player.
Can you tell me about the development camp that some of your teammates went to this year?
RH: It was actually a selection camp to compete on the USA women's under 20 rugby team. There were girls from across the country from different high schools and colleges that were invited to try out. Three girls currently on our team were selected along with another girl who will be a '21 next year so they'll be heading up to Canada later this month to compete in a two game development series.
Can you tell me a little bit about your work in SEAD?
RH: I've been working as an assistant student director of mentorship for SEAD to help plan and run the program. I worked on recruiting other mentors, tutors, staff and faculty members to provide guidance for our 32 amazing 10th grade scholars. They are taking classes and participating in other fun activities at Dartmouth this summer to prepare them for college in a few years. I am currently working full-time with them and have loved connecting with them.
What is your outlook on the team's prospects next season?
RH: I am so excited to see what next season will bring, especially based on our team's growth last year. We are really lucky that we did not graduate any of our 15s players and have a great set of recruits. I really hope to win the Ivy Championship again and push even further in our NIRA Championship. We start off this upcoming fall with some tough competition like Penn State, Quinnipiac and Army so I hope that those games will help us prepare to play other great rugby teams in the future.
What do you hope to accomplish during your last season at Dartmouth? What kind of legacy do you want to leave?
RH: It's sad to think about leaving, but I want to continue to bring positive energy to everything our team does on and off the field. I'd hope to bring the best out of my teammates and leave a legacy that continues to make hard work and dedication part of our team culture. I also just want this to be a really fun and competitive season and bond with our incoming class.
What do you think has changed, if anything, when the women's team transitioned from a club team to a varsity team?
RH: When we shifted to become a varsity team, we got a new coach and have had a cycle of new players join and old players leave. So the past two years have been transition years. However, it has been great to push our team to be even more competitive while remaining a family.

If we want people to buy things from us, we need to make that process as easy as possible. Sound obvious? It should be. But - for our US readers - have you ever tried to buy a car? Was it easy, pleasant or simple? Based on our experience, the answer to that is a resounding "no." You'd think that anyone running any business would want to make the buying process as easy as possible, since (obviousness alert) you need buyers in order to have business revenue.

Baz Bahadoor Palace, Mandu
Photographer: Dayal, Deen
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1875
Photograph of the Baz Bahadur's Palace at Mandu, taken by Deen Dayal in the 1870s. Mandu was the capital city of the sultanate of Malwa between 1401 and 1561. Situated on the spur of a plateau amidst the Vindhya range of central India, the fortified mediaeval citadel overlooked the Narmada valley. Mandu went through many changes of rulers before lapsing into silent ruins. The Malwa sultanate of the Ghauris and the Khiljis was taken by a Gujarat sultan, then it fell to the Mughal emperor Humayun in 1534. The struggle between Humayun and Sher Shah Suri resulted in Mandu passing into the hands of Sultan Baz Bahadur from 1555-66, when he was defeated by Emperor Akbar. Baz Bahadur's legendary romance with his Hindu queen Rupmati adds to the mystique and melancholy of Mandu. He fled the Mughals and she committed suicide. Built in 1509, this palace was later taken up by Baz Bahadur. The complex is built in a mixture of local and Mughal styles and consists of a large open court with many rooms opening onto it. Beyond the colonnade on the north side there is an octagonal pavilion with arches.

New page of the new chapter? Cristian, the bouncer, is taking Mel home.
Lol, Mel getting naked in a car cause of recent fur problems. Judging from where they left from, seems like any problem is found to get a little naked, ha ha! =D
The real life problems and subtle prejudices seem like a interesting turn for the comic. Monsters that can get accepted to college and get degrees, but can't get a decent job in a human world that views Monsters as something to be scared of or as a lesser race. Of course social and financial problems aside, I bet that car still gets great gas mileage. Seeing if it's just a car to get from home to work, and back. Can't help that the Big Black Minotaur Bouncer is super Buff and Mel got big and furry.
Great job again, keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next page. =D
Poor Mel's new fur is making her all sweaty

Lund Halloween Bash 2009
October 30, 2009 — The First Annual Lund and Company Invention Halloween Bash was a hit by all accounts! We had the usual show of live animals, from tarantulas and anacondas to hedgehogs, monkeys and hairless rats — and clairvoyant and palm readings, and much more. We hope you find yourself in the following party pics — but if you don't and you couldn't join us this year, we certainly hope you can make it next year!

A Peruvian prosecutor called Friday for powerful opposition leader Keiko Fujimori to be placed under preventive detention for three years as part of a corruption scandal involving Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht.
Prosecutor Jose Domingo Perez lodged the request only two days after an appeals court ordered Fujimori's release from a week-long stay in prison as part of the same investigation.
Her lawyer Giuliana Loza described the prosecutor's request as "an outrage and abuse," El Comercio's newspaper's online edition reported.
The 43-year-old daughter and political heir to disgraced ex-president Alberto Fujimori, Keiko has increasingly come under the spotlight as prosecutors investigate millions of dollars in illicit campaign contributions to several former presidents.
They say former presidents Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, Alan Garcia and Alejandro Toledo all took undeclared campaign contributions in exchange for pledges to have the Brazilian construction giant win local tenders.
Their key witness, former Odebrecht Peru chief Jorge Barata, said he doled out millions of dollars to Peruvian presidential candidates between 2001 and 2016.
Perez believes Fujimori -- leader of the main opposition Popular Force party -- received more than $1.2 million from Odebrecht for her 2011 presidential campaign.
She was arrested on Perez's request on October 10 after she was summoned to give evidence to a court hearing in Lima.
An appeals court ordered her release on Wednesday but specified in its ruling that it was making no judgment of the merits of the case against her.
She denies all wrongdoing.
Three of her aides are also being held in preventive detention.
Fujimori said after her release she had used the time in prison to "begin a journey to achieve the unity of my family again" -- a reference to a feud with her younger brother Kenji which has weakened her politically.
Her brother leads a rival faction of Popular Force.
Up to her shock arrest on Wednesday, Keiko Fujimori had not been directly under investigation, as most of the prosecutors' attention was on two of her senior 2011 campaign aides.
The two aides, Jaime Yoshiyama and Augusto Bedoya, were among more than a dozen others placed under arrest as part of the investigation.

I can't believe it's already October! Since I have a ton of "spooky" books on my TBR list, I decided to make it a theme this month, and read them all. Ok, not all of them, but a lot of them. And I will probably add in a bunch of other books as the month goes on. I am really excited to get some awesome reading done this month, and here are my picks:
1. The Shining by Stephen King. Last year, I celebrated Halloween by reading Stephen King's short story anthology Full Dark, No Stars, which was amazing! Since I love Stephen King, and have not read nearly as many of his books as I would like, I have decided to start a tradition of reading Stephen King books on/around Halloween. The Shining has been on my list forever and my cousin has been bugging me to read it because it's his favorite book. So this year, I will be spending Halloween at the Overlook Hotel. Also, I may not sleep.
2. Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. I started the audiobook a while back, and loved the first half so much I actually bought a hard copy. And then I just never finished it. It's been quite a few years since I read Fahrenheit 451, and I forgot what a great writer Bradbury was! Something Wicked This Way Comes is pretty creepy, so I figured it would make a great pre-Halloween read.
3. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I thought I'd throw this book in this month because it's been sitting on my windowsill for ages, and it seems interesting and spooky, and why not?
4. A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick. This is one of the books for my Popsugar Reading Challenge – a book set in my hometown. Orange County was as close as I could get, and this book looks wonderfully weird and dark.
5. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I love Neil Gaiman and I've been meaning to read this sequel to American Gods for a while. This book was also on my 2015 Reading List, so I figured it would be a good idea to throw it in this month.
6. Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. I've never been all that into zombies, but I actually liked the movie based off this book, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Plus, it kind of completes the whole Halloween theme I've got going, right?
7. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. I really enjoyed Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and I like historical fiction, so I thought this would be a really fun, albeit somewhat ridiculous, read.
8. Slade House by David Mitchell. I actually already finished this book around 1 am this morning because I couldn't put it down. It's a story about a haunted house, and is told as five stories that span five decades – Mitchell is famous for this style (think Cloud Atlas or The Bone Clocks). The coolest part is that the story concludes on October 31, 2015. So, obviously, I had to read it this month, right? The book will be released October 27th, and I will have a review up soon!
I am also planning on making some progress with Neil Gaiman's Sandman series this month. I read volume 1 last month and loved it, and am looking forward to reading the rest.
So there you go! I've got ghosts and zombies and vampires and murderers, a creepy circus, a haunted hotel, a phantom mansion, mind-altering/personality-splitting drugs, and an African god who takes the form of a spider. I think this month is sufficiently spooky.
Let me know what books you're planning on reading this month and feel free to join me in my (unofficial) Halloween read-a-thon!

Syria invites OPCW to send fact-finding team to Douma over chemical weapons claim
Syria's Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said it has sent an official invitation to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) for a fact-finding mission to visit Douma, SANA reported on Tuesday. The team could investigate claims related to the alleged use of chemical weapons. In response to "the false allegations made by some Western states," Damascus sent an official invitation via its permanent mission at The Hague to the OPCW, the ministry said. Syria reiterated its condemnation of any use of chemical weapons "by anyone and under any circumstances and anywhere." A source in the ministry said the country affirms its commitment to cooperating with the OPCW to uncover the truth about "the claims being promoted by some Western sides to justify their hostile intentions and political goals."

Our first stop on our second day in Rome was to the Vatican Museum. The apartment we were staying in was not far from the Vatican so it was just a short bus ride to get there… still packed, but nothing like the subway.
We have found that it definitely pays to do a little research before you go on vacation. In reading about the Vatican Museum, we learned that it was a good idea to buy your tickets and reserve an entry time online before you go. So we did, and boy were we glad! The line to buy tickets was HUGE… and we just walked on by… right up to the front door… right into the Vatican… no line… no waiting… BEAUTIFUL!
The Vatican Museum is the papal palace turned museum filled with ancient artifacts, classical sculptures and Renaissance paintings. There is quite a lot to see.
There was so much to see that it left us quite exhausted. Here we are taking a break before we head in to see "la piece de resistance"… the Sistine Chapel.
Okay, so you aren't allowed to take pictures of the Sistine Chapel, so I don't have any. Even though EVERYONE else was taking pictures, I chose to be good. But I do have to say one thing, I was completely underwhelmed by the Sistine Chapel. Maybe it's because they were herding us through like cattle, and we barely had time to look at anything, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
Next to the Vatican Museum is St. Peter's Basilica. That was our next stop.
While the Sistine Chapel did not live up to my expectations, Michelangelo's Pieta most definitely did… just so beautiful…
At this point it had been a long morning of walking around and looking at art and sculptures, and Lauren was in full tantrum mode. Her feet could not walk anymore. She was going to die of hunger. John threw her up on his back, and then she was back to all smiles.
The girls with one of the Vatican City guards.
St. Peter's Square
Lauren.. sad that dad put her down and ready for lunch.
Here we are after lunch, enjoying our daily gelato.
Castel Sant'Angelo
After lunch, we walked around a little bit, did some souvenir shopping, and then headed back to the apartment to rest and take it easy for the afternoon.
After our rest, we headed out to find a place to have dinner and then do a night walk trough the city.
John and Sara in front of the Spanish Steps.
We will always remember the Spanish Steps. This is where a tricky street vendor gave the girls roses, telling them they were free for them because they were such beautiful girls. Then he went over and harassed John for money. The girls tried to give back the roses, but he wouldn't take them. John tried to give him a couple euros, but he said it wasn't enough. Finally, he took the money, grabbed two of the roses back from the girls and went on to harass someone else. Persistant, unrelenting street vendors… definitely our least favorite part of Rome.
The Trevi Fountain
More gelato. We need to keep our energy up for the night walk

Want a one-of-a-kind Cadillac customized by a famous Italian coachbuilder? Look no further, we've found the one for you!
Even though Ghia made two Cadillacs, the cars have different front-end designs, so there's no way in hell you'll ever meet somebody at a stoplight driving a car just like yours. And you'll definitely not find one alike in another collector's garage, where most such cars live out their fates.
The current owner has had it for over two decades and has already restored it by the late Mike Fennel, a famed car restorer from Santa Clarita, California. Now, the car is up for sale at an auction organized by RM Sotheby's in Arizona, which will take place on January 28-29, 2016. So there's still time for that lucky lottery ticket or for selling your soul. Or something.
The original owners of the two Cadillac 62 Coupes built by Ghia are unknown, although the famed Rita Hayworth was rumored to have owned one of the two cars. The other first owner of a Ghia coachbuilt Cadillac 62 Coupe is John Perona, a longtime Ghia customer, and then-owner of Manhattan's famed nightclub called El Morocco.
At the time of cataloging, the car had racked only 34,320 miles and a lot of impressive stories in its past. For example, it was shown at the 1989 and 2002 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. At that event, it was ceremoniously reunited with its sister car, now located in a museum, Petersen Automotive, as mentioned above.
In case you're wondering, the 1953 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe by Ghia is fitted with a 331 cubic-inch OHV V8 making 210 BHP and a four-speed automatic transmission from GM's Hydra-Matic series. The front suspension is coil spring independent while the rear has a live axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs. All wheels use hydraulically operated drum brakes. By: autoevolution

FLCL (often pronounced Fooly Cooly) happens to be one of my favorite animes. Like, seriously. Aside from Bebop it has done a lot to shape my view of this crazy world.
It's six episodes, 3 hours in total and you'll want to, nay, HAVE to see it multiple times to comprehend it. I love it. :)

This is a beautifully modern collection that explores the essence of pearls, their individuality, spirit and elegance. Paired with yellow gold and diamonds, these key elements, create the perfect palette for style and fashion.
Mizuki's one of a kind collection is inspired by the uniqueness and diversity of her signature materials. The pearl, the diamond and the complexities of both are the essence of each hand-crafted style. Mizuki Privé is a selection of distinctive pieces designed without barriers. Each piece is meant to feel as special and empowering as a woman's signature scent.
For me, pearls are as close to what it means to be a woman. It's about seeing what's in front of you and embracing its raw, original beauty. The pearl is the most precious organic gem.

I was trying to think of the opposite of a "pick-me-up." The best I could do is "get-me-down." Why on Earth would I need to know such a phrase, you ask? Because it's all I've been reading. UGH.
I would estimate that I'm now reading approximately one-fourth of what I read pre-baby. Ideally, therefore, my reading would be confined to sweet-fluffy books or funny-fluffy books or super-interesting books or even helpful books of the parenting variety. Instead, I have managed to read three get-me-down books right in a row. For a sleep-deprived parent with limited reading time, this is not a reading strategy that I would recommend.
Don't get me wrong: as a rule, I am not against get-me-down books. In fact, my very favorite book of all time is a definite downer (Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates). But that writing makes me swoon, so it makes the ridiculously depressing story somehow worth reading.
The three books I am reviewing this week were all billed as worthwhile get-me-down books. But it is safe to say that they are NOT Revolutionary Road-level get-me-down books.
The Nightingale
Kristin Hannah
Published February 3, 2015
440 pages (Kindle e-book)
What it's about: The book is about two sisters, Isabelle and Vianne Rossignol (French for "nightingale," obviously). One sister is a rule follower with a husband and two kids, who lives in the small French town of Carriveau right next door to her best friend (who is Jewish!). Her younger sister is a rebel, who has been kicked out of a number of schools for various transgressions and is forced to flee Paris when the Germans invade.
Vianne's husband joins the army, leaving Vianne alone to care for her two kids. When Germans invade her town, a soldier informs her that her house has been requisitioned and that he will be staying with her. Meanwhile, Isabelle makes her way to Carriveau (with a man she met while fleeing Paris but who then abandons her).
The book is about how the sisters fight against the Germans (in their own small and large ways) and for the survival of themselves and their loved ones. Each sister has to make huge sacrifices and each sister suffers in unspeakable ways. Yay.
Why I read it: This was the Amazon Spotlight pick and the #1 Indie Next List pick for February 2015. It is big in book-group circles these days. So, when some of my mom friends decided to do a book discussion at the end of our weekly playgroup, we agreed that this would be a good first book to read.
Rating: 2/5
First and foremost, the writing in this book is laughably, hilariously bad ("'I love you, too,' she said but the words that always seemed so big felt small now. What was love when put up against war?"). A friend and I texted on multiple occasions while we were reading it to make fun of the writing (an example text: "If she uses the word 'aeroplane' one more time, I might lose my mind."). We nicknamed it "The Nightmareingale."
The text is also littered with random, italicized French words (like, inexpicably, "saucisson"). Keep in mind that the book is set in France, so presumably ALL the words they are saying should be in French. So, what is the point of the random French word? To remind us that they're in France? To let us know that the author knows a handful of French words? Needless to say, it makes absolutely no sense at all, and serves only to be infuriating.
The book also relies on a gimmicky jump-forward-in-time beginning and end. One of the playgroup moms suggested that the book would have been more successful with a plain old epilogue. And she's absolutely right. As written, the jump-forward-in-time ending serves only to try to create a little surprise twist (for no good reason). It creates far more questions than it answers. Annoying.
People go on and on about how this book is a page-turner. I am convinced that these people have never read an actual page-turner. It took me weeks to finish this book. The first half is sloooooooooow going (to be completely fair, the action picks up a little bit right around the halfway point . . . but the writing stays terrible the whole way through).
When I was done reading this book, I felt like I had just wasted weeks of precious reading time. Curse you, Nightmareingale! Don't believe the hype on this one. It's all lies.
When Breath Becomes Air
Paul Kalanithi (with a forward by Abraham Verghese)
Published January 12, 2016
256 pages (hardcover)
What it's about: Paul Kalanithi was finishing his last year of neurosurgery residency when he began feeling excruciating back pain. He experienced rapid weight loss and extreme fatigue. He knew that all signs pointed to cancer . . . and he was right. He began writing this book when he found out that he had stage IV lung cancer, and it was his dying wish that it be published. The book explores life, mortality, self-worth, and career and family choices.
Is it fair to call this a get-me-down book? I'll let you be the judge. The prologue ends with this sentence: "And with that, the future I had imagined, the one just about to be realized, the culmination of decades of striving, evaporated." Oh, and, spoiler alert, there's not a surprise-twist happy ending. When Breath Becomes Air was published posthumously.
Why I read it: This was an Amazon Best Book of the Month and an Indie Next List pick for January 2016. And, right after reading The Nightingale, I thought to myself, why not read a pick-me-up? Like a memoir about a guy at the peak of his career, who is dying of stage IV lung cancer? Smart, smart, smart.
Rating: 3.5/5
This is a memoir, which is normally a recipe for disaster for me. I nearly swore off memoirs completely last year after reading this atrocity. But I breezed through this book. First of all, it's short (it's about 250 pages, but the pages are small, the spacing and margins are large, and there's a lot of white space). Secondly, Kalanithi was one of those massive over-achievers. He was a doctor (in one of the most difficult specialties), yes, but he also had a Master's in English, so he's not one of those stereotypical science people who can't string a normal-sounding (non-scientific-jargon-laden) sentence together. (As an aside, he uses words like "diktats," because why wouldn't he?)
Given all of that, it is surprising that it is the epilogue, written by Kalanithi's wife, Lucy Kalanithi (also a doctor), that really makes this book. It brings honest emotion to a book that feels a bit too scientific and matter-of-fact. Without the epilogue, the book would have come across as too detached.
And, not only is the epilogue in itself smart and thoughtful, but it also recognizes and explains the book's flaws (the most significant of which are that it feels imbalanced—the first part is a little too long and boring and peppered with unnecessary tangents, the second part is too short and feels rushed—and a little sloppy). Paul continued writing the book during his roughest months. The first part of the book (about his life pre-medicine, why he became a doctor, why he chose to be a neurosurgeon,etc.) gets a lot more attention and detail and feels a little more thought-out than the second part of the book (life after diagnosis). In light of his wife's epilogue, this makes more sense. He started at what he thought was the beginning, giving that due time . . . but as he went along, it seems like he realized he needed to speed things up a bit. It was his goal to finish the book for his daughter (who was conceived after his diagnosis).
The book is written by a clearly smart person, which is always nice. And Kalanithi raises some good questions about life and what makes it worth living. But this book is really, profoundly sad.
My Name Is Lucy Barton
Elizabeth Strout
Published January 12, 2016
208 pages
What it's about: Lucy Barton is stuck in the hospital for five weeks when she contracts a mystery bacteria after a routine appendectomy. Her husband, who doesn't like hospitals and is caring for her two small children at home, calls Lucy's estranged mother to come stay with her in the hospital.
To say that Lucy's upbringing was less-than-ideal would be a gross understatement. And, yet, Lucy is thrilled to have her mother sitting in the hospital with her, making small talk ("I was so happy. Oh, I was happy speaking with my mother this way!").
The book is Lucy's reflections on those days in the hospital and the conversations with her mother. She gives the conversations context with stories of her youth (stories rife with abuse, neglect, hunger, etc.).
Why I read it: This was an Amazon Best Book of the Month, an Indie Next List pick, and the #1 LibraryReads List selection for January 2016. And it got GLOWING reviews from all the majors. Plus, Strout wrote Olive Kitteridge, which won the Pulitzer Prize (OK, full disclosure: I never read Olive Kitteridge, but the HBO miniseries was fabulous). I made the mistake of reading this without paying much attention to what it is about. Oops.
Rating: 2.5/5
This book reads very quickly for two reasons: 1) it's under 200 pages, and 2) Lucy has a distinct and readable voice. An example:
The first year of her marriage, my mother had worked at the local library, and apparently—my brother later told me this—loved books. But then the library told my mother the regulations had changed, they could only hire someone with a proper education. My mother never believed them. She stopped reading, and many years went by before she went to a different library in a different town and brought home books again. I mention this because there is the question of how children become aware of what the world is, and how to act in it.
How, for example, do you learn that it is impolite to ask a couple why they have no children? How do you set a table? How do you know if you are chewing with your mouth open if no one has ever told you?
Normally, I would appreciate the voice for being unique and simply enjoy that Lucy uses it to raise interesting (if not entirely profound) observations of the world and how her upbringing affected her place in it. But something irked me the entire time I read the book: her voice is a bit too stilted and a bit too slow (take, for example, that "Oh, I was happy . . ." quotation above). Arguably, an awkward voice would not be inappropriate in light of Lucy's upbringing. But Lucy is supposed to be a success story. She gets married and moves to New York and becomes a writer. A writer, y'all. This is not the voice of a writer.
And maybe this book is supposed to be a story of survival. We can go through shitty shit and still come out OK. We can enjoy a few days in the hospital with a woman who allowed you to be terrorized as a child. But, for me, it was just sad. If you want to read a book about longing and enduring pain and feeling isolated and carrying baggage, then this is the one for you.
Want to read along with me? Well, get ready for some fluff! Because I can't take any more get-me-downs. Coming soon:
Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman (Backman is the author of the very sweet and breezy best-sellers A Man Called Ove and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry. This, his latest, is one of this month's Indie Next List picks and is this month's #1 LibraryReads List selection.)
- Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld (This is a modern retelling of Pride & Prejudice. It's one of this month's Indie Next List picks and was the #1 LibraryReads List selection for April. I'm going to re-read Pride & Prejudice at the same time.)

The bride carried a brooch bouquet so I made a sculpted fondant topper to match! The cake is piped in buttercream with a few bronze sugar sprinkles for a touch of sparkle.

Ceno Grille - If you love Mediterranean food, come to this Cape Coral restaurant for delizioso Greek and Italian dishes!
The restaurant's name is based on a word that means "to dine" in Italian.
And dine you will ........ on large portions of tasty appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, pasta, and entrees at reasonable prices.
After reading rave reviews, I decided to go for my birthday with my family to check them out!
Even though the restaurant is small, there's room enough for several tables, a couple high tops, and a bar section. There are a few tables set up outside in the front.
Orange and lime green walls and a casual ambience characterize the cozy bistro.
After ordering, they served my favorite ...... warm bread with garlicky olive oil for dipping ........ yum!
I decided to get Ceno's signature dish ........ Seafood Asparagus, with shrimp, crab, scallops, and asparagus in a creamy and slightly spicy tomato sauce.
I thought it was sooooooo good ...... and was happy to be able to bring home a doggy bag to feast on leftovers.
For dessert, it was tempting to get Tiramisu or a Cannoli, but I went with the Creme Brulee ..... I always have room in a corner for that!
George Lukas, the owner of Ceno, used to own the popular restaurant Geo's. I was so upset when they closed but was happy to hear when he opened the latest of his Cape Coral Fl restaurants. Here he combines his mother's Greek recipes, his passion for Italian food, and background in cooking seafood Maryland-style.
They are open from 11AM-10PM, Monday - Saturday, and are located next to Lobster Lady in a shopping plaza on Cape Coral Pkwy, just west of Chiquita Blvd.
You can have their food delivered through Grub Cab.

Lapsang truffles
It's chocolate week, and head chef at The Clock House is spreading the cocoa love with his recipe for these fabulous truffles.
I'm a sucker for good chocolate. (Er, who isn't?) And when they look like these babies, resistance is futile. Head chef at the Michelin-starred Clock House in Ripley, Fred Clapperton, is not letting chocolate week slip by without some chocolate indulgence.
One of his signature deserts – Chocolate, Thyme, Rose – is back on the menu, and the bar will be serving chocolate martinis. I say, I'll have mine shaken, not stirred!
And he's sharing his fabulous recipe for these lapsang truffles.
- 420g 42% chocolate
- 80g 75% chocolate
- 100g full cream milk
- 12 Lapsang Souchong teabags
- 100g double cream
- 10g runny honey
- 60g salted butter, diced
Heat the milk, and infuse with the teabags for 5 minutes.
Carefully squeeze the liquid from the teabags individually into a bowl individually, reserve the liquid and then put back into infused milk.
Add the cream and honey to the pan.
Bring to the boil, pour over the chocolate and whisk until the truffle mixture is smooth.
Start adding the butter, a little at a time, until it is all combined and you have a smooth truffle with no lumps of butter or chocolate.
Pour into a large container allow to set for 6 hours in the fridge, then make into balls with a melon baller (Parisian scoop) and roll them in cocoa powder to coat each truffle.
Makes approximately 50 truffles. Keep refrigerated and eat within a week.
You can halve the quantities to make around 25 truffles.

Lace, as any other opulent fabric, is quite tricky to wear during day-light (specially if you are paled-skin and dark-raven hair....that easily screams out "goth") but I´ve found these pics that prove my point that everything can be tamed down and consequently, been adapted for any corporate Goth.
The key is, again, keep it simple. The fabric is already opulent and rich so it doesn´t need any help to claim any more attention than what it already does. That means: plain accesories (nothing outrageous, matt textures...) and not too edgy make up. Either dark lips and nude eyes (look at the Peaches Geldof pic, I wonder when this woman became been interested in the dark look) or (my favourite) soft smokey black eyes and nude lips. Take this Pearl Lowe´s pic as an example, she has combined a soft grey smokey eyes with soft pink lips. She has managed to smooth her look down with a doll-face make-up that doesn´t add anymore to her already "vamp-ish" outfit.

I accept review copies from large publishers, eBook publishers, and from requesting authors. I also will be more than willing and happy to accept requests from independent publishers, but if they're not in the genres that I mentioned above, I will most likely decline. Please use the form at the bottom of this page to send your book quiry for review. Please also give a brief synopsis of your book, page length, title, and I will reply back to you within 24 hours.
Whilst I do my best to review books in a timely manner, in some cases, there might be a delay. Also, please be aware I do not and cannot review every book I receive, and I can't accept every review request.
We accept review copies in paperback, but I preference is e-ARC copies, either in .mobi for Kindle or .pdf.
I'm super honest in my reviews, so pretty please with sugar on top, don't go sending me hate mail if I give your book a bad review. I'm critiquing the book and not the author personally.

A(+/-) = the book totally rocked the awesome train all the way to awesomeville.

F(+/-) = I really, really disliked your book.

Are you looking for a unique gift idea, or to be inspired in your creativity?
Introducing Bonny from LoveTheArk.
I caught up with her recently and we chatted about her shop, blog and an exciting new product which I know you'll love…
You're the creator of some beautiful products. When did you start selling your creative work and what prompted you to do so?
First of all, THANK YOU so much for the encouragement! 🙂 I started The Ark in October, 2016. It was the re-ignition of a dream that I had long buried. It was a childhood passion so deep within me that I didn't even know how to articulate or envision if it was't for the help of the Holy Spirit. It's the result of the overcoming of self-doubt and fear of 'not being good enough' which the Lord Jesus led me through. I'm still in that glorious process. I talked about the story behind The Ark in detail in my current blog feature at @artfullyseeking. It can be accessed here! I'd love for your to read about it too!
You've recently released handmade wrapping paper, can you share when you first thought to make wrapping paper? And how did you decide what words to put on the paper?
I started painting these to put up on my walls actually. A bit like a wallpaper 🙂 During that period of time I was so captivated by the Song of Songs in the Bible (The Passion Translation) that I wanted it stuck to the walls of my prayer space at home. I feel such love when I look at those words. One day I thought I wanted to use it as wrapping paper to go with a gift I had made for a friend, so I painted some more. I shared a picture on Instagram and people had asked whether I sell them. At that time I thought, maybe, one day. For a long time until now, it's just for my personal use; but that's going to change! 🙂
Have you had any testimony from people who've received gifts wrapped in your gorgeous paper?
One time I heard from a client who bought an artwork from me for his wife – he said that she was crying even before she opened the gift. Seeing the way it was wrapped was enough to make her cry. I was surprised and really humbled by that. At the same time, I know that there's nothing the power of God's words can't do. What if, even a wrapping paper can touch someone's heart without them realizing that God has chosen to speak to them? Whether they know Him or not.
Recently, Psalm 139 has been speaking powerfully to me. So I started painting Psalm 139 on the 'wrapping paper' as well. And in the dance ministry group in my church recently, I brought a scroll of Psalm 139 and laid it on the floor and used that to inspire our dance-worship to God. You can say it's just a piece of paper, but it became the anchor point of our movements that day and inspired each of us to connect with Him. So, I wanted to offer this item to people who find it beautiful and useful in the ways they can bless their loved ones. 🙂
Why do you think pursing our creative gifting is so important?
God is the ultimate Creator; He is Elohim, the Maker of Heaven and Earth. He speaks and life is created. He said "let there be light" and there was light. I studied and worked in creative disciplines long before I met Jesus. I have loved art and creativity for as long as I can remember, I just didn't realize that it's because my Father is a Creative! I believe that when the children of God truly embrace our identity and are confident in who we are, we would create out of love and affection and significance, and not for them. Our creativity is no longer a means for our fame and achievements, but it's a sanctified tool for us to declare the glory of God and point the world to the Great I Am – the One who was, who is, and is to come. There is nothing more beautiful than the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. And when we can capture the different facets and textures and movements and sounds and shades of colours of that beauty through our creative handiwork, we reflect the One who created us, and we also experience that feeling of being alive and being made for something much greater than ourselves.
What do you do when you're feeling creatively dry?
I worship, and look at the face of Jesus. I do something that I love and enjoy (e.g. dancing), intentionally asking Heavenly Father to be there with me. I look at nature and say to Holy Spirit "speak to me".
Where can people find you and your shop?
Come say hi on my Instagram @lovetheark!
My website is https://lovetheark.wixsite.com/dwelling/portfolio
And my shop is https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LoveTheArk

This week I decided I would do an article about building a gaming PC on the cheap. The cost and overwhelming feeling of putting a PC together can scare some people off from becoming PC gamer. Fear Not! Zac here to show you that converting to PC gaming isn't as expensive or as scary as you might think.
The first thing when considering any new build is what types of games you will run. This will unveil what you will put into your build. For my build I will plan on playing the most current games on medium to high graphic settings. All right lets get started the following is all the parts you will need for the build with links for purchasing.
Motherboard: For this build we will be using a MSI PH61A-P35 (B3) LGA. The motherboard is really the heart of your system and should be picked out very carefully. I picked this board for a few reasons: it include support for up to 16gigs of RAM. It includes 6 SATA connectors for lots of drives, USB 3.0 for external devices and a gigabyte Ethernet port for speedy network connectivity (no need for network lag to steal the winning kill from you!). The price for the motherboard comes in at only $74.99.
CPU (or processor): Since we went with an Intel motherboard we will be using an Intel Core i3-2120 Sandy Bridge @ 3.3GHz. The reason I went with an Intel CPU is better performance: Intel out preforms AMD, plain and simple. For more information about this you can check out this article on Toms Hardware. Price for our CPU is $129.99.
Next in the build comes RAM (memory): When it comes to RAM the thing you should think of is amount: "do I need 4gig or 8?". RAM has gone down a lot in recent years so why not include 8gig. For this build I will be using Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB cost $34.99.
We also need a Hard Drive: You need a good size one to store all those games and Sasha Grey DVDS you have. Hard drive prices have sky rocketed in the last 6 months due to some flooding in the countries they are manufactured in. I was able to pick up a 500gig Samsung for our build for $79.99 (the same drive six months ago was a mere $39.99!)
Next you will need a Graphics Card (or GPU) to pump out all of those sick graphics: This is one area you don't want to skimp on. I for my build I picked out a GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA Series GV-R685OC-1GD Radeon HD 6850. This card should handle most anything you throw its way @ 1080P resolution. For $139.99 it's also not too bad on your wallet.
Next we'll toss in a cheap DVD burner. For this I just went with the cheapest one I could find. A Samsung 22x burner cost $15.99.
Another area you don't want to skimp on is the Power Supply (or PSU): this is what provides juice to all of your other components and you don't want it getting overloaded and blowing up, or shorting out your expensive GPU in the peak of an intense battle. I went with a trusted brand; Antec and a unit that provides plenty of juice (620W) for future upgrades to GPU or extra harddrives or what-have-you. $59.99 gets it done.
Last but by no means least, is the Case to hold all our super sweet hardware: You can really go pretty crazy with cases if you want. But the main thing is it needs to fit all your hardware and it needs to keep it all cool as well. Good ventilation is key, so make sure you have enough fans to keep things from over-heating. For this build I choose the Rosewill Challenger case. It has plenty of space for all our components, three 120mm fans to keep things cool, and also sweet blue LED lights to impress anyone who comes around. For $49.99, this case is a great value.
New for the scary part assembling all that newly acquired hardware. For this I have included links to some very good youtube video tutorials.
They should walk you through the build process pretty easily if you still have questions feel free to leave a comment and I will do my best to help you.
The last thing you will need to do after assembling all your hardware is install your operating system. I did not include a copy of Windows 7 in the build price. You can download a 90-day trail from Microsoft here. After your trail you can either "hack your trail version" or what I would suggest is just saving some money over those 90 days and buying your own copy. I hope everyone found this article really useful. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment below. Happy Gaming Everyone!

I am torn.
I still haven't settled on a topic for SoFoBoMo. I have thought of a couple of topics, but nothing that really appeals to me yet. At this rate, I think it's going to be more towards July before I get going.
Here's a quick round-up of my ideas so far:
Churches and Graveyards
As an old Irish city, Galway is endowed with houses of worship and places of rest. I was thinking of making a photo essay about a couple of these old sites.
This one appeals to me most, in a way. Portraits are something I've not yet done, and I'd like to get some practice in.
Pros: Would force me to take directed photographs of people, would force me to get some real practice with off-camera flash.
Cons: Would need a specific theme or group, would require me to do a LOT of portraits in the space of a month, and — crucially — would require willing volunteers.
500 yards (or similar)
Take a stretch of path/road/field/beach, and document it thoroughly, from wide-angle shots to macros, and possibly in different weather conditions or different times.
I've a couple of other half-formed ideas bouncing around in my head, but nothing solid enough to even describe here now. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, all is welcome!
In other news, my grasp of personal finance — which could normally be described as 'taut' — seems to be slipping. I've got a couple of big weekends ahead of me and am not really sure how I'm going to pay for them. I did briefly consider pulling a King James and running a fake lottery over the course of 10 years and never actually paying out, but the organization involved is far outside the boundaries of my laziness.
It's also very possible that King James was not the person I'm thinking of. At any rate, I specifically recall mention of a lottery organised to finance some national scheme, which the ruler/government never really got around to paying out on. It was in this book, if you're so inclined.
Better days (if you were a king)…

Exclusive adventure holidays like the five-day gorilla and lion trekking tour in Uganda allows you to experience the rush of roughing it in the bush while enjoying the personal attention of professional trackers and guides.
Matoke Tours' private five-day tour can accommodate up to six people per tour. The tour includes accommodation at various lodges, game drives, boat trip meals, local guides and trackers, one gorilla permit and entrance fees to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
If you're going to be trekking through Uganda for gorillas and lions, there's no better way than in a sturdy 4×4 Land Cruiser with air-conditioning and a personal guide on hand.
The five-day tour takes you from Kampala to the Queen Elizabeth National Park where you would be staying at a bush lodge. The area is packed with wildlife so you can expect to see a lot of lions, hippos, elephants and buck. The lodge offers private viewing of the Park's waterhole from the room's veranda – and what better way than to end a day of game driving around the various parts of the Park than enjoying the sunset in the company of visiting wildlife?
Moving on to Kisoro, in the south-western part of Uganda, you would be staying at the Nkuringo Safari Lodge where the thrill of gorilla trekking is guaranteed to leave you with lasting memories of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Bwindi is home to Uganda's gentle giant, the Mountain Gorilla. The gorillas that you track belong to one of seven habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of human beings for a brief period – a comforting thought considering that these animals are majestic in their appearance and strength. Once the gorillas are reached, you would only have one hour to observe them up close.
Wrapping up the tour is a visit to the Equator and then a return drive to Kampala. The trip is only five days, but a luxury adventure holiday could provide a refreshing break from the bustle of city life. Besides, coming face to face with a Mountain Gorilla is a rush that you have to feel to believe. For more information and itineraries of various other adventure holidays in Uganda, visit Travel Uganda.

J.P.D. Dieseldorf warns against certain Emigration Agents (1849)
(from: Wegweiser nach Südaustralien oder Südaustralien in seiner jetzigen Gestalt. Nach eigener Anschauung während eines mehrjährigen Aufenthalts besonders für Auswanderer geschildert. Robert Kittler, Hamburg 1849.)
Justifiable accusations have however been made against some agents, that they are completely unfamiliar with the colony and its conditions, and engage in providing emigrants with information about their new homeland, information that those emigrants, upon arrival, almost always find to be incorrect and deeply disappointing to them.
One should beware of this type of agent, for in their view the only necessary qualification for an emigrant is the ability to pay the ship's passage. When will these agents desist from engaging in things of which they don't know the slightest!

3 Reasons Superstars Aren't Applying for Your Job Opening
Posted in Recruiting
The internet is crawling with job postings. Millions of them!
While it's not likely your company will have to compete with all of those postings for your ideal candidate, the competition is definitely stiff. How can you make your job opening stand out from the crowd? Today, PrideStaff shares three reasons superstars may not be applying for your positions – and how to remedy them:
They're not optimized. If the best candidates can't easily find and apply to your job openings online, they'll never make it into your recruiting funnel. Make sure your postings are:
- Optimized for mobile. In a 2014 Pew research study, 63% of "smartphone-dependent" users said they've obtained job information on their phone in the last year, and 39% said they've used their phone to submit a job application. Younger candidates, in particular, are likely to use mobile technology to search for jobs. Make sure your postings display well on a phone or tablet, and that applying from a mobile device is simple and quick.
- Optimized for search engines. Throughout your posting, include keywords candidates might use when searching. Make sure the job title, in particular, is searchable and relevant.
They don't adequately describe the role. Getting good job descriptions from hiring managers and department heads can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. But ultimately, the higher the quality of information you put into your job descriptions, the higher the quality of candidates your postings will yield.
Help your managers help you to create killer descriptions. Remind managers of what's at stake, and create a form they can use to provide exactly what you need, including:
- Title of the position, department and to whom the candidate will report.
- Summary – a brief description of the job's purpose and an overview of the position's main responsibilities.
- Key areas of responsibility – including job functions, tasks and required expectations.
- Skills and qualifications – a list of all mandatory, as well as preferred, qualifications.
- Physical and mental demands of the work environment – to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Location – where the job is located and whether or not travel is necessary.
- Type of employment – temporary, temp-to-hire, contract, freelance or direct hire, as well as whether the position is full- or part-time.
- Salary and work hours – these are optional items.
They don't sell your company and the opportunity. Superstars aren't merely looking for any job; they're looking for a great job – with a great employer!
Make your job posting your company's greatest cheerleader. Actively promote the upsides of the position and your organization, including the cultural benefits you offer (e.g., flexible hours, mentoring opportunities, tuition reimbursement, telecommuting) and the reasons the job is a good career move.
Attract More Superstars by Casting a Wider Net
Success in today's tight employment market requires a broader range of sourcing tools. In addition to posting jobs online, partner with a national staffing firm, like PrideStaff, to cast a wider net and ensure timely access to the people you need. Contact us today to learn more about our On Target fulfillment process.
