At first look Star Trek: The Game could potentially breathe new life into a non-existent gaming franchise. Like other licensed games Star Trek can't seem to catch a break with the exception of a few titles such as the Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, a title which came out over a decade ago. Could this reboot of the franchise break new ground and capture the same success the movie box office hit did?
Story | 3 |
It has been four years since J.J. Abrams successfully hit box office theaters with a reboot of the hit TV and Movie Series Star Trek in 2009. Based on the show created by Gene Roddenberry in the 60′s the show has become a sensation in American pop culture. Star Trek: The Video Game picks up shortly after the film left off with the alien Vulcan Species looking to create a colony on a planet dubbed New Vulcan.
In order to do so the pointy eared humanoids are using a device called Helios to create an environment they are accustomed to. Unfortunately for the Vulcans the device also leaves various rips in space which allow the Gorn, an alien reptile species made famous by the famed TV series, to make an appearance. Players will assume the roles of either Captain Kirk or Spock of the USS Enterprise to uncover the mystery of the Helios device and find out why the Gorn are attacking the Vulcans.
Gameplay | 3 |
After much excitement and enthusiasm for this game being a fan myself of Star Trek, I must boldly go where none of you should. Star Trek is a game that has borrowed various elements of gameplay from other games such as Dead Space, Batman Arkham City, and even Mass Effect. Sadly for gamers these similarities end at the presence of generic gameplay. Star Trek is full of the most mundane tasks found in any game. Getting power cells to open doors, hacking, scanning for evidence and having various cover based shootouts.
Yep it is all here from games we have already played and yet some how it just keeps getting worse and worse. That is of course how you will feel if you chose to sign up for this starfleet mission. Aside from the basic gameplay mechanics you will find Kirk and Spock sneaking around space stations only to set your phaser to stun and incapacitate enemies for 5 seconds. It is then up to your AI or Co-Op partner to knock them out cold. Then again you could just blast your way through the levels as no consequences are found for killing everything in sight.
The Weapons of the game all feel similar and underpowered all of which seem to take 4-5 shots to put anything down, with the exception of headshots. On occasion both Spock and Kirk will have to cooperate during scripted events. Such as deactivating lasers in order to have one player progress further. Or having another on a medic table for surgery while the other defends the two with his phaser. Trust me when I say it isn't as fun as it sounds. If really need some boring entertainment tune into CSPAN or play Star Trek: The Video Game.
Co-Op is great but after playing you will quickly find some gamers just want to runaway after 30 minutes of playing the game. It isn't that it is unplayable, it is because it is so unbelievably boring. Games are suppose to be fun, engaging, filled with tons of amazing environments, keeping us coming back for more. Star Trek: The Video Game feels more like a homework assignment for a political science class, with too much politics and not enough science. You know a game is bad when you enter a room and it looks exactly the same as the one you were just in. With the same item that could be scanned to give you very little insight on what is happening in the game. Gamers also control the Enterprise, but after a few minutes of this you will quickly wish you hadn't.
Graphics | 4 |
The best thing about this game is the graphics. Yet sadly that isn't saying much about the game. Christopher Pine and the rest of the cast reprise their roles as the crew and are faithfully recreated in the game. The cast does an amazing job as far as voice over work is concerned and showcases the amazing talent behind the Star Trek reboot.
It all comes crashing down after that however, as stated earlier the environments fail to capture anything that brings the gamer into the experience. Companion AI is almost as terrible as Aliens: Colonial Marines as help will only come once you are downed. It is fascinating that this source material and the great work by the voice acting is wrapped in a mess of bugs, glitches and generic graphics.
Final Verdict | 3.5 |
Star Trek: The Video Game fails to enter warp speed, in fact the game doesn't even take off. If you are looking to purchase this game for $60 dollars be warned that you won't be getting your money back. With expectations of something similar to Mass Effect and 2-3 years of development time. This game is by far the biggest let down of the year so far. Don't let this game ruin your movie experience of Star Trek: Into Darkness.

HARRELLS, NC (WECT) - Sampson County Sheriff's Deputies have arrested two people in connection with a home invasion call that they say turned into a murder case.
911 in Sampson County got a call early Thursday morning about a home invasion at 347 Bill Town Road in Harrells. The person who called gave a description of the suspect's vehicle and a deputy was able to stop the vehicle with two people inside from leaving the area.
After deputies got the home on Bill Town Road, they found the body of Gary Lee West, Jr. in his yard with obvious signs of trauma to the upper body.
Terrill Dewight Wells, 28 from Teachey, and Jennifer Lynn Norris, 20 from Wallace, have been charged in the case. Wells faces one count of murder, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, one count of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, one felony count of possession of cocaine and one felony count of possession of heroin. Wells is being held without bond on the murder.
Norris was charged with one count of accessory after the fact – murder and one felony county of possession of heroin. She's in the Sampson County Detention Center on a $775,000 bond.
Deputies say the investigation is continuing.

On September 7, 2002, LSU defeated The Citadel 35-10 in Tiger Stadium. That game may sound like nothing more than boring, lower-level schedule filler at first, but the victory was the first of 46 in a row (and counting) against non-conference opponents in regular season games (a number they reached in spectacular fashion just a […]

You never quite know what you'll get in the first game of the season. For LSU and Les Miles, it's always been a mixed bag to start. Even in the 2011 blow out of Oregon, Jarrett Lee passed for under 150 yards and barely completed 50% of his passes. The game Saturday was no different. […]

Once again LSU will play a power conference team in week one, but instead of playing a flashy spread team such as Oregon of 2011 they will face a far more SEC-like Wisconsin team. Leading Wisconsin on offense is senior running back Melvin Gordon, who will now be the sole featured back with the departure […]

As a new weekly feature, we're going to compare recruiting talent ratings between LSU and their opponent for all major FBS games.

We caught up with Andrew Coppens at our Bloguin blogmates Madtown Badgers to get a feel for what to expect on Saturday from the Wisconsin perspective.

Yesterday, the final depth chart before the season begins was released to the media. Of surprises, it included little. Anthony Jennings is still listed at the top of the QB list, but now Brandon Harris has an "or" near him, but we knew all along both would play to start the season. Quentin Thomas is […]

As the team prepares for its opening game against Wisconsin on August 30, LSU currently holds the ninth highest-priced ticket on the secondary market while ranking 13th on the AP List of Top 25 Schools. Interestingly enough, LSU is one of five schools listed within the top 10 most expensive schools that also owns a […]

If someone asked you, "What kind of team is LSU?" How would you answer? Since 2005, when Les Miles arrived, the answer would probably come easily. It would be some combination of strong defense, B1G running, & coaching quirks to keep things spicy. Before you got to pondering QB play, you'd probably mention how special […]

I know you must be thinking, "A breakout tight end at LSU? Impossible. How does a player breakout if he's anchored to the o-line while the running backs do all of the heavy lifting?' Traditionally, you'd be correct to think these things; however, the times are a changing, my friend, and one guy has the […]

Workstudy Program
OFFICE OF RECORD: Financial Aid
ISSUED BY: Director of Financial Aid
EFFECTIVE DATE: 09/22/86 Revised 06/20/88 Revised 5/24/01
The Dakota State University Federal Workstudy (FWS) Program provides Federally eligible students with opportunities for work experience while completing a program of study. The FWS experience is intended to complement more formal experience obtained through the normal program of study and thereby better prepare students to select an area in which they will develop their future careers. Additionally, the students participating in the University FWS Program provide services that are vital to the operation of the University. The University FWS Program is administered by the FWS Coordinator and the Student Employment Coordinator under the direction of the Director of Financial Aid in compliance with Federal regulations.
Requests for FWS positions will be made by the respective Department Head during the preceding academic year by submitting an Allocation Request form to the FWS Coordinator. The FWS Coordinator, with approval of Executive Council, will then allocate FWS positions to the departments based on number of positions requested, prior utilization of FWS funds, and Federal allocation of funds to the FWS program.
Students will be awarded FWS based on eligibility per the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually by the Director of Financial Aid. Qualifying students, both new and continuing, are authorized for FWS funds in the order in which their eligibility is confirmed and until FWS funds are depleted. Those students who have been awarded then apply for academic year FWS positions on the basis of the students' abilities and interests, and the needs and resources of the University. Students who have been awarded summer FWS will be assigned to remaining open positions.
Students are employed in the FWS position for the fall and spring semesters, except in a small number of instances in which a single-semester employment is made. Switching of positions during the school year is discouraged and can only occur with the approval of the FWS Coordinator and the supervisors of the positions involved. A student who quits or is fired from a position must once again apply for any remaining open positions.
Guidelines and wage rates are made available annually to supervisors and students for further assistance to administer the program.

TEAMS: New York Mets
From Larry Brown Sports:
It was a night of celebration at Citi Field after Johan Santana notched the Mets' first-ever no-hitter on Friday. Santana's teammates were so eager to congratulate him, one strained his hamstring sprinting in from the bullpen to join the celebration.
Yup, reliever Ramon Ramirez injured his hamstring and is headed to the disabled list.
"He was just running in. He hadn't even gotten to the pile where they were jumping on [Santana]," manager Terry Collins said. "He was just so excited. He was running in, running hard and all of a sudden, his leg grabbed him. I've never seen that."
What a bummer, huh? Even Brian McCann thinks that's a weird way to get hurt. Surprisingly, athletes getting injured during celebrations is fairly common. Here is a full list of athletes who have been hurt during celebrations.

"I am on track to double my income this year."
One of my greatest challenges has been how to move my successful counseling practice to its next level. I was totally booked but had hit a ceiling and couldn't move forward.
I did the Creating Money Intensive webinar program and enrolled as a private client with Maggie. It was clearly one of the best decisions of my career.I am now easily changing my business model giving me about 40% more time. This allows me to create the new programs that will bring in much higher revenue.
I am on track to double my income this year.
The only reason this really worked for me, as opposed to all my previous attempts at business training, is because Maggie is in integrity and understands people who are called to a giving profession. She never tried to get me to hustle my clients or create a system that wouldn't absolutely serve their life path and my calling. That is Maggie's secret gift and you can experience it if you work with her too.

"Working with Maggie has allowed me to create a much more interesting, profitable and powerful business!"
When I started working with Maggie I was looking into to the gaping maw of a business where I traded time for money – an hour of coaching for x dollars. First, I wasn't sure where I was going to get enough clients. Second, when I did the math I couldn't figure out how I was going to support a family. Third, it seemed like a path to burnout.
Working with Maggie has allowed me to create a much more interesting, profitable and powerful business. I stopped being stuck in how I had been trained to run my business and learned how I can create a business that is a more unique expression of who I am as well as have a much greater impact in the world than would have been possible. Since starting with Maggie I've launched my website, created a free offer, launched a new coaching program and two new telecourses. In all that I've embraced my expertise am now taking more leadership in my stand in the world.
What I love about Maggie is that she is the complete package. She combines emotional and spiritual wisdom with cutting edge marketing strategy. Her greatest gift to me is to continue modeling that we are each the creator of our lives.

"Maggie's given me the tools to discover and embrace everything I bring
to the table"
The day I was serendipitously seated beside Maggie on a cross-country flight continues to be a blessing to me, and the day my entrepreneurial life changed forever.
I'd been a struggling entrepreneur for far too long – and had contorted myself into a mass of self-blame regarding what I perceived as past failures. What Maggie understands is the entrepreneur's journey is an inner and outer one.
She's given me the tools to discover and embrace everything I bring to the table; all my gifts, talents, skills and experience – along with a step-by-step marketing model that I truly understand, and am putting into practice.
Andrea Christensen
Greetings—I'm Maggie Ostara. I'm a Soul Healer and Money Mentor for Visionary Entrepreneurs. Just a few years ago I was feeling stuck. I had a practice as a Clarity Breathwork® practitioner and trainer, and I was teaching Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer's excellent course, Awakening Your Light Body.
My clients were having profound, life-changing experiences virtually every day. I knew I had both intuitive and healing gifts, and tremendous skill as a teacher and trainer. I understood in-person promotions to a degree, and I was good enough at business that I was making a better living than anyone else I knew in my fields other than my teachers. But I couldn't get beyond a certain point.
My income was inconsistent, up and down different months. I never knew what I could count on. It seemed like every month I started over from zero. I was doing very well, by many standards, but I felt stuck.~ > And then I had a crisis in my family. My husband lost his job overnight. Yep. Overnight. No warning, no severance. "Turn in your hours—you're done. We're laying off the entire field staff—today." Maybe you've had something like this happen in your family, too.
I had been relying on his income to support our family. I was dependent—and even though part of me didn't like it, I went with it. It was easier. I was comfortable in many ways. That is until that income was gone—literally overnight. Maybe you've had something like that happen to you, or to someone you love. It's pretty shocking.
But that shock led me to a decision to do what had been right in front of me all the time—which was to bring together all of my gifts, talents, skills and experience, what I call your Soul Signature, into one business—that of Soul Healer and Money Mentor. I learned to embrace my True Value, use everything I had, and start charging what my services are actually worth.
~> A little over two years later, I'm about to pass the $1/2 million mark in total revenue from my new business!
I'm sharing this with you because I want you to know that it really is possible to create the income and the impact that you truly want–when you are ready and you have sufficient motivation! It was true for me, and I know that it can be true for you, too!
Are you ready?
Then join me for this revolutionary business event:
Join me for this unprecedented event
if you are ready to:
- Fully express yourself, to bring forth your wisdom and your insights, and to take your place as a powerful voice in the New World Age now emerging.
- Release the old $Money Story that you cannot make money and be a spiritual person, a healer or transformational teacher and leader at the same time.
- Actually live the spiritual truth that you live in an abundant and benevolent universe—and that prosperity is your birth right.
- Create a NEW $Money Story, based not on ungrounded, wishful thinking, but on both the universal principles you say you believe in, and proven, leading-edge business strategies.
- Shed the fear, doubt, worry and shame that have held you back in the past—and let it all go into the cosmic compost so that you can FULLY AWAKEN to why you are here.
- Receive the support you need in order to give your dreams legs in the practical world so that you can create the income you deserve, and the impact you have always wanted.
Here is what I know:
- A few years ago I was exactly where you are now—with a powerful calling, a vision emerging, many gifts and talents, and a whole trunk full of skills I had acquired over the years. When stepped into a deeper level of my calling, I went from being moderately successful financially to breaking $200,000 in my first year in business with my current work.
- If I can do this, you can do your version of this, too.
- Whatever your service and expertise, if have proven that you can help people in a profound way with some of the things that matter most to them, then then you can create a thriving business and a lucrative income.
- You need to understand some of key principles of making money in order to play the money game well.
- You don't have to make yourself look, act, or seem like someone else in order to be financially successful—and in fact you will do much better if you don't even try!
- You do need to get the support that will give your dreams legs in the practical world, and without that support you will struggle and suffer unnecessarily (I know because I've been there!).
- You will make your life and your success easier if you are willing to learn, adopt and than adapt proven models from others who have done what you want to do.
- Once you really understand the fundamentals, you can and should make them your own, innovating with your creativity. You will not be locked into a box—you will have a tool box with which to build!
"(She gave) me a solid, sound, organized, way to immediately make money doing it in a way that is completely soul-aligned. In a word, wow."
Maggie Ostara is that rare thing in the world of transformational coaches, a guide who has diamond clear vision and incredible intuition combined with no excuses total financial understanding. I have yet to discover a coach who could immediately understand my passion and just as quickly give me a solid, sound, organized way to immediately make money doing it in a way that is completely soul-aligned. In a word, wow.
I consider her combo to be truly unique, life changing and amazing. Most of us dream all our lives, usually with a subconscious belief our dreams won't ever come true. She called my bluff. Now I have a clear plan. Who wouldn't feel like sleeping beauty waking-up from a long nap? But I know it's real and tomorrow, I plan to take a big step into it."
Thank you again,
Western Bonime
"The minute I gave myself permission to make this kind of investment in myself, my whole reality changed!"
I feel such a rapport with Maggie. She's very personable, and she really understands spiritual entrepreneurs. She's brilliant and I don't even know how she comes up with these ideas for everyone—probably because she's very intuitive! Having this kind of mentorship, realizing that I don't have to go it alone, feeling that level of support, I can't even explain how valuable that has been for me.
In a relatively short period working with Maggie, I have been able to make significant money doing my absolute joy and bliss and it's only continuing exponentially! Maggie is helping me take the next steps, which means reaching out to serve and inspire even more women with a calling to be priestesses and healers, and working with women who want to continue in my programs in ways that allow me to express my deepest gifts and fulfill my mission in life. She's also helping me to accept more abundance into my life in grounded and permanent ways, and to genuinely appreciate my true value. It's just been incredible!
Marguerite Rigoglioso, Founding Director
"I am having more fun, making more money and adding clients on a regular basis."
Working with Maggie is incredible. Since starting my journey with Maggie in February, building my business has totally shifted. I am having more fun, making more money and adding clients on a regular basis.
In the past two weeks, I have added 2 new ongoing clients – one increased my monthly income by over $7,000 and the other client will be in my sweet spot of ongoing, as-needed services for a small, growing business.
I was not doing this on my own no matter how badly I said I wanted it; with Maggie and the dynamic tribe that I am now a part of I have the support, encouragement and love to soar. Thank you, thank you.

When I saw the Nutri-Plate my first thought was that we should all be eating off of one. Even though most of us know how our portions should look it's easier in theory than it is in practice, so this plate seems like a great way to help kids to establish healthy habits.
The colorful design delivers clear visual information and text about healthy eating, and it's backed up by good ideas and solid research. Developed in consultation with children and families from Chicago's south side, the plate's creators sought to provide clear cues to promote healthy food choices. It's cute and BPA-free, and a percentage of profits goes to the Consortium to Lower Obesity in Chicago Children.

I hate it.
My daughter has the protein and grains portions down but we're still working on that veggie one.
Wow merm, very strong words for a plate.
I don't think I would use this, I think I can handle portion control (and maybe I have fallen in love with my stoneware plates that I use them as much as possible)
I do like that donations are going towards stopping obesity in children though, and i have met some families that could really use a guideline.
I want this! :)
I love my plates too much, but I am seriously tempted. Personally, I need all the help I can get with portion control. I wouldn't buy this for my kid, but for my husband and me!
... inspiring kids to eat healthier... i think it is a great idea!
Ugh. Meals are about family, enjoying food together, and conversation--not about being nagged by some omnipresent figure about how much you should be eating of what.
Huh. Doesn't appeal to me at all.
Anyone else see the broccoli butt? *smirk*
Wow - who woulda guessed there'd be such impassioned responses to a plate?!
I have a lot of trouble getting my son to eat veggies so I don't need this plate to remind me and I'm certainly not gonna start using it for dinner service.
But I would love it as my own personal lunch plate - a cute way to help me keep on track.
I love this idea. For many children this will be a wonderful teaching tool on a healthy way to eat for life.
That plate doesn't leave much room for cheese :(
Although, if you cover the veggies in cheese... that solves the problem.
Children don't need to be harassed about healthy eating habits at an early age! They need to be given the right foods in the right portions and to be able to trust that we, the adults, will guide them to eat the right things without over-intellectualizing something so basic as eating.
I think this is a cute and easy way to teach and remember nutrition and portions! I don't see at all how this is over-intellectuallizing or harassing. Just reminding what's important. Kids are very very visual.
hmmm . . . if the text was shortened to just the food item, i.e. "veggies", "protein" etc. it would be more interesting and the message would probably be more powerful . . .
This plate initiates conversation with my young children about not only portion control but what is a vegetable, why you want to eat a lot of it, etc. It has been a great learning tool in our busy household.
We love this plate! My sons (ages 5 and 2) often choose these plates at dinner time. I've been called out when I don't have something to put in one section: "Hey - where are my grains, mom?"
I featured this plate on my website last fall as well: http://www.weeklygreens.com/category/fall_2010/sweet-potato/
It's a great conversation-starter at the table and educational for even those of us who know better but need a reminder!

Although the beauty of the landscape is something not to be missed, the Lake District
also offers much, much more. Towns such as Ambleside, Bowness, Coniston,
Grasmere, Hawkshead, Keswick and Windermere have become particular favourites for
many visitors. All these towns are littered with attractions that you can visit on those
occasional rainy days: for example, in Ambleside there is the traditional glass-making of
Adrian Sankey; in Bowness, the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction; near Coniston,
Brantwood, the home of John Ruskin; in Grasmere, Dove Cottage, the home of William
Wordsworth from 1799-1808; near Hawkshead, a trout fishery; in Keswick, George
Fisher Ltd. - the outdoor retailer of the year; and finally, near Windermere, the
Windermere Steamboat Museum. Much closer to home, there are attractions such as
Artcrystal, the National Trust's Fell Foot Park, Holker Hall and the Lakeland Motor
Museum. And that's just a small handful of the many things to see and do!
The advantage of staying at The Cavendish Arms in Cartmel is that you're on the fringe
of the Lake District National Park - all the scenery and the above attractions are easily
accessible, but you can also get peace and tranquillity away from the crowds that often
dominate the central Lakes.
The Cavendish has been well
renowned for its exceptionally fine
food for many years. The restaurant
continues to delight customers old and
new with meal skilfully prepared to
suit all tastes. Sunday roasts are
prepared on an open spit - the
anticipation and the dining are to be
equally enjoyed.

Amanda & Justin's Brooklyn Railroad Nook
House Tour
Name: Amanda Bullock & Justin Taylor
Location: Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, New York
Size: 1.5 bedroom; 600 square feet (estimated)
Years lived in: 11 months; rented
Amanda Bullock and Justin Taylor like books. Amanda came from the book publishing world and is now the Director of Public Programming at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe; Justin is an acclaimed author and teaches creative writing at a number of universities in the city. Their apartment is an ode to their passion for reading and their intense love of Herman Melville. When I first met Justin, he was Captain Ahab for Halloween and Amanda was dressed as Moby Dick. She even jokingly refers to their décor style as "warm modern, with whales."
It's a rare treat to have ample closet space in a Brooklyn rental, though rather than stuffing closets to maximum capacity the couple had an even better idea. Since they enjoy having friends over and are whiskey aficionados, they decided to take the doors off one closet and create a mini bar. Amanda's sister Rachel, an architect and designer, helped them design and build it. This is one beautiful bar closet! Though, if asked, Rachel will tell you it's just a prototype and still a work in progress. Despite the middle room's lack of natural light, they chose a charcoal gray backdrop; it's an excellent choice against the glass bottles, while creating the perfect moody atmosphere for reading on the sofa.
Amanda and Justin's home is modern yet cozy. The first image you see upon entering their apartment is a gallery wall showcasing their love of books, travel, friends, and art. The bright blue wall color pops, and the crystal chandelier is a great touch. Bold paint colors, the DIY bar closet, and a clean yet friendly aesthetic make this place truly unique.
For more on Amanda, visit Housing Works Bookstore or follow her twitter handle @amanda_leigh. She is the Director of Public Programming at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe, which means she plans parties for nerds and happily blabbers about them on the internet all day long. She is a co-founder of Jugs & Capes, in one to two other book clubs at any given time, and organizes the Moby-Dick Marathon NYC (mobydickmarathonnyc.org) which is returning November 14-16, 2014.
Justin Taylor is the author of the novel The Gospel of Anarchy and the story collection Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever — both New York Times Editor's Choice selections. His work has appeared in journals, magazines and websites such as The New York Times Book Review, Tin House, Bookforum, NPR.org, and The Oxford American. Justin has a new story collection, Flings, coming out from HarperCollins in August. Visit him at justindtaylor.net.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: We want our home to be uncluttered but personal, considered but welcoming. We like modern, but not too cold and spare. There are undeniable nautical influences throughout, though we do try to limit the whale memorabilia to one or two pieces per room. So… warm modern with whales?
Inspiration: Past lives in teeny-tiny apartments/rooms?
Favorite Element: The dining table, and really the entire dining room. Our last apartment had a very small eat-in kitchen, and cooking is something we enjoy and that we learned (and are learning) how to do together. We're happy to be able to entertain, which just wasn't possible with the layout of our old apartment.
Biggest Challenge: Renting in general! It's a lovely but old building, and a lot of the decisions that have been made over the years were not ones we would have made: the windows are too thin, there's no door on the office, the door to the bathroom is a giant window, the electrical outlets are in the strangest places and half of them aren't operational. etc.
What Friends Say: "You have a lot of books."
Biggest Embarrassment: The bathroom is only accessible through the bedroom.
Proudest DIY: The bar closet, of course. We moved from a much smaller apartment and were pleasantly surprised by how much storage this one has, although we didn't have enough stuff for two closets and the above-closet storage in the living room. We turned the "extra" closet into a closet-sized bar cart, essentially. This is just the prototype version — Amanda's sister Rachel is a talented architect and designer and is still working on the final shelving unit, which won't have the vertical space and will feature a drawer and proper wine racks. We'll have to do an update on the bar when it's ready!
Biggest Indulgence: Keeping the bar closet well stocked.
Best Advice: PAINT! Yes, even if you rent! It goes such a long way to making the space feel like your own. Usually as long as you paint it back to white when you move out, the landlord won't mind. Also, GET RID OF THINGS regularly: yes, we have lots of books, but we go through our books and clothes every month or so and donate or recycle anything we're ready to let go of.
Dream Sources: Exotic travels and custom furniture.

cute place, love the whale bookends. but why is all the art hung so high? arghhhh, time for maxwell's 57" rule - http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/day-19-hang-artwork-the-2020-h-129709
How lovely to see an apartment for booklovers that actually has functional bookcases that are attractive,and are not not over-styled as a decorative feature with more gew gaws than books.
Lovely apartment. Looks warm and inviting.
With limited space, one should also have limited visual clutter. I do like the kitchen a lot.
Love this place! Great bar, lovely colors, and those orange tiles in the kitchen... well done :)
I LOVE the bookshelf with cookware and cookbooks! Recreating that in my apartment this very moment!!
It's perfect. They nailed it.
bello! <3
delightful!! terrific what a nice atmosphere for a small home.
It's lovely! It's a shotgun apartment, though. A railroad apartment has a long hallway that goes down one side of the apartment and connects to the rooms which are on the other side (like one of those railway cars that have compartments). A shotgun apartment is where the rooms all connect directly down a line.
I love this space because, although not my style, it actually looks lived-in. Kudos.
When I see a wall of books, I think this is the home of interesting conversationalists - people I'd like to know better. Very inviting!
Pretty sure the couch is from Macy's. It looks exactly like the one I am sitting on at this very moment!
They don't make this style anymore, but we bought ours about 3 years ago.
very cute pad. you make good use of all the space. looks like a fun place to hangout.
can you tell me the source of the recipe book holder? i'd love one just like this.
THANK YOU! We had our fingers crossed someone would solve that mystery!
Of course! It's great. It's from Crate and Barrel: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/cookbook-stand/s373796
I didn't know the term "shotgun," but that makes so much sense. Thank you!
Thank you! There was originally a door on that pantry that we asked the landlord to remove, then re-painted the interior bright white and arranged our prettier cookware ROYGBIV with the books. We love it too!
As a fellow bibliophile,I love your flat! Unless I missed it, I didn't see a source for the grey octopus in your bedroom- I'd love to get one for my very own "sea beastie".
Really nice! So much to like :) The living room rug is great!
Ah I love this! My goal for my apartment is library meets greenhouse (I'm a botanist, so I've got that half down!) and I'm having serious bookcase envy.
And Bison65 - I believe it's from anthro. I've been carrying around an owl version for three apartments and it's holding up to daily key abuse like a champ.
I love it ! Love the wall of books, and that they are not all arranged by color. Brilliant idea turning the closet into a bar. And I love the blue paint in the living/dining room and the dining room table (gorgeous). I am also absolutely in love with the ceiling. Is it painted tin?
Where did you get the whale bookends? In love.
Finally, an apartment with books. Seriously!
Having similar wall colors helps the rooms to flow nicely, but they are different enough to create a feeling of distinct spaces as well. I can see how the space would work well for entertaining.
Do you know if the dining room ceilings are tin, or are they wallpaper? We are thinking of doing something similar in our dining room.
Couch is from Macy's.
Also, poor little flat bed pillows. lol
Well, I like the colors and general feel. I am a huge 'library' look fan, so this works for me. However, there are wayyyy too many pictures, i was overwhelmed just going through them, edit edit edit (you two booktypes should know this hmm?). also, the not-so-subtle plug of the book? ehhhhhh. this is to show off your apartment, not advertise.
Really nice. But gosh, that's a lot of blue and gray. It'd be nice to have one warm room.
"Railroad" versus "shotgun" ... wow! I've lived in New York City apartments for 38 years, and I'm still learning something every day!
Bookcases - full of books!
I don't know about a "shotgun" NY apartment, but in the South a "shotgun" house/cottage has a central hall or even open breezeway. Hence, shotgun, as you could fire a shotgun from the front door to the back. Lovely home. I saw the Tito's vodka in the bar. Used to be my Texas vodka until Dripping Springs came out. Titos is filtered 6 times, Dripping Springs 12!
Love it, but I too NEED a source for the whale bookends :-)
For me it's just too cold! Not a fan!
Nice book case though, a warmer palette would make it lovely.
The octopus was a birthday gift from Amanda's mom, who says it is from Anthropologie!
The whale bookends are from Pottery Barn -- also a gift from Amanda's mom. She keeps us in nautical home goods.
The ceilings are indeed tin -- it's a very old building, originally a single family home now with a ground-floor business and two full-floor apartments above (we're on the second floor). It's a rental, so I don't know much more about the ceilings, I'm sorry, but they're one of our favorite features of the apartment.
It is tin! And seems to have been painted white at some point.
@nekono + @thorndale, thanks for the feedback! It was my fault not the dwellers. I got excited over all the things this couple is doing. I will definitely keep this is mind for next time. Thanks!
J, if only that little 315 house could see you now. Lovely place; lovely people!
I just went through this house tour twice, something I rarely do. I really like this space.
I like this a lot! It is stylish but also looks very lived in and true to their personalities.
love it
Thanks and cheers! :)
Looks like a fun, comfortable space with a nice, quirky style. Love the bar and the colors. Perfect!
I LOVE your apartment! Someday I hope my place looks as cool as yours. That wall o' books is heavenly.
I think it was great that AT posted more information on what you do, even if some people see it as just a plug. Learning about the people sharing their homes with us gives it a very real connection, and I'm sure writers and book lovers will use and decorate their space differently from people with other occupations. Thank you for sharing your space and personalities!
What I wouldn't give for that tin ceiling! The bar closet is cool and I don't think a place can ever have too many books but that's coming from an unapologetic book lover.
Andrea, it was a nice write up. I appreciate knowing a little bit about the people who open up their homes to us.
Been a long time since I heard "1.5 bedrooms". Once I left Brooklyn to live in other states, I have not heard apartments advertised as such.
Fun and interesting couple who have created a comfy and interesting home.
I have a small apartment and one of my challenges was the number of books I am loathe to give up. Hence, I spread them out between my small living room and bedroom, but I did get rid of some. Makes it look less cluttered but it was like losing old and dear friends.
I seem to be in the minority about this "self-promoting" issue. Like Andrea, I am excited about this wonderful couple and their interesting life. I have been an avid AT follower and down through the years have followed tour links which led to other links, etc., etc. Found some fun stuff to read, buy, get ideas, etc.
Anyway, loved this tour and will be looking at it again and again.
Beautiful space. I currently reside in a railroad (and am a book hoarder, I mean, lover) and I'd love to get my space this organized at some point.
I don't understand why people have such a problem with a write-up on the couple, especially when one of them works for Housing Works, whose proceeds support wonderful and necessary services to the community.
It's possible that's how they normally display the book out of pride. Kind of understandable, really. At least it wasn't on a gold pedestal. lol
I also really like the general feel, particularly the bedroom with those tall ceilings, tall windows, and white shutters. Love them! Quibbles: I might give a little love to the bed which looks a little like a refugee from the seniors home. And I might add some photos that are not of each other. But love is grand, ain't it. ;)
Otherwise, I really like it and think they've made a good use of the space in a warm, pleasing, and personal way.
Very nice home….well lived in.
Im so glad to see more tours that arent MCM /showhouses! Lots of personality,and I loved hearing more about the people who live here.It puts a different perspective on the decor,and Im going to pick up his books asap!
The volume conversion chart is a stroke of genius! Leave it to Hatch Print... and YOU to make such an inspired choice!
WOW! This is PERFECTION!
Really cute space!
I recommend turning the glassware upside down to avoid dust settling into the barware. I spent years tending a very neat bar and I didn't realize I would react to the glassware being "disorganized."
Meh. Do what you want. Your space looks great!
I love your home.
"Keep my skillet good and greasy" I shall paint that on my kitchen wall!
Love your books, (you can NEVER have too many). I will have to get myself a copy of Flings
Very nice home. Adding that I also didn't have a problem with the details of their careers. It sounds like they are up to some pretty cool stuff that people might be interested in.
I learned something from this -- re-learned it actually. The wall color as it displays on my monitor isn't the same as the paint chip. Alas! it's lovely anyway...
I am so glad that I saved this tour to view on a leisurely Sunday morning, so that there would be time to linger over every photo. This is such a charming and lovely apartment. Thank you for sharing!
Michter's, a ton of books, and nice splashes of color. Yes please!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am currently a student in Portola Middle School (Well, not anymore, actually.) and looking back at this school, I realized that Woodrow Wilson Elementary School has such nice and wonderful teachers that actually help you learn, unlike the teachers here at Portola. I enjoyed every year at Wilson, especially my second grade year. The kids at Wilson are all great and friendly, and there are only one or two troublemakers in a class. I really enjoyed attending this school.
I currently have two boys attending Wilson, one in the 5th grade and the other in Kindergarten. I really like the administration, the principle is a sweetheart. She s nice, friendly, and engaged with both the parents and the children. There have been instances where I am in the school grounds and she is out in the yard talking to the kids and greeting parents. When my son was having issues adjusting to his new school we had a meeting with the teacher and came up with a great solution that worked for all of us. I think that keeping in contact often with both the teacher and the principle makes a difference in the relationship with parents as well as with the behavior of the children. Overall I think the academics are good, the school needs some TLC but the administration has no control over the CA budget which controls the money to fix older school but my children don t seem to mind and I haven t noticed any negative effects on the kids not the administration.
Wilson has an above average sports program with soccer, basketball, track and field, little league baseball, nationally ranked cheerleading team and an award winning after school program. The after school director is hands and lives in the community. The effect he had on my son is immeasurable. I would recoomend this school to anyone based on the after school programn alone.
I am at de jean middle and the school helped me the best fifth grade teacher is ms. timm sh had showed us algebra and it helped all of her student's to get a's in school and there is never suspension at the school and it has a majority of every race
The school's new principal is just wonderful. Ms. Neely-Johnson has actually allowed to have a class for children with special needs and everyone is very supportive. The teacher for this class, Ms. Permalino is just a blessing for my son, Nicholas. She has helped him in ways that I could never repay. He is currently integrated with a regular class although if it is too much for him, he is allowed to return back to his home room with Ms. Permalino. I just wish they could fix the exterior of the school. Also, the PTA/PTG needs to be aware that the class does exist in this school.
I'm a former student, now-a-parent my-second-child in-this-school. New principal Ms.Neely-Johnson, she is trying to do different things. Good-things. My child is hyper, a busy child but-not-bad last-year he was diagnosed with ADHD. My son can not control some of the things that goes on inside of him, but still you have the teachers and other staff who looks down on him because-of-his behavior. This problem I also had with my-other-child that attended Wilson, he-also has ADHD. The kids that needs the MOST help are looked down on, Out-of-sight out-of-MIND. I knew when my son was 2-yrs old that he would not survive at Wilson. Since attending, he's In-secure, because-of-this label he believes-he's bad. This school is in my neighborhood...
A good administration, computer lab. Suffers from same whoes as other school in the district, but was recently qualified as a GATE school so the students tend to be bright and the teachers are very good, in general.

Photos: First LGBT Pride Celebration in the Israeli Desert
June 4, 2010
This post and photographs are from former HRC intern Zachary A. Bennett, currently a freelance photographer living in Israel. More on Zak at www.zakbennett.com.
One week before the mammoth Pride festival in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, the metropolitan desert city of Be'er Sheva celebrated it's first ever city-recognized and funded Gay Pride Festival. This is a breakthrough point for the Be'er Sheva community and the Negev Desert region. Even though Israel, which is the only state in the Middle East where one can live a gay life legally, it is still not an easy life for the LGBT community outside of Tel Aviv-Yafo. Many orthodox Jews were upset because city funds were used in order to make the event happen. Musical artists Korina Alal and Alona Daniel and DJ Daniel Mariuma entertained the crowd throughout the day and into the early evening. Today a step forward has been taken regarding the Human Rights movement toward total equality and a more acceptable future for the LGBT community in the Middle East.

Final Results From The Sri Nrsimhadeva Msf 20131,304 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Final Results From The Sri Nrsimhadeva Msf 2013
By Malini devi dasi
Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
We offered the results of our Monthly Sankirtana Festival (MSF) of sincere prayers, which was held for last one month at ISV on the auspicious appearance day of Lord Narasimhadev at ISV.
Sri Prahlada Maharaj prayed to Lord Narasimha dev as stated in SB 7.9.44
prāyeṇa deva munayaḥ sva-vimukti-kāmā
maunaṁ caranti vijane na parārtha-niṣṭhāḥ
naitān vihāya kṛpaṇān vimumukṣa eko
nānyaṁ tvad asya śaraṇaṁ bhramato 'nupaśye
My dear Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, I see that there are many saintly persons indeed, but they are interested only in their own deliverance. Not caring for the big cities and towns, they go to the Himālayas or the forest to meditate with vows of silence [mauna-vrata]. They are not interested in delivering others. As for me, however, I do not wish to be liberated alone, leaving aside all these poor fools and rascals. I know that without Kṛṣṇa consciousness, without taking shelter of Your lotus feet, one cannot be happy. Therefore I wish to bring them back to shelter at Your lotus feet.
In the mood of Sri Prahlad Maharaj, Srila Prabhupada left the holy dham of Vrindavan at the age of 70 and came to cities and towns of the west to deliver the people from ignorance. Having received mercy from our beloved Acarya Srila Prabhupada, team ISV also went to different towns and cities to distribute books and bring people closer to Lord Narasimha dev.
Goals of this MSF were:
· Distribute at least 2500 Books including 25 Srimad Bhagavatam sets
· Hear the pastimes of Lord Nrsimha via conference call
· Distribute books at an event.
· Conduct workshop/classes on power of prayer
· Design a prayer card for "Prayer on the go!"
To realize these goals, Team ISV distributed Srimad Bhagavatams at different venues, conducted workshops and had public Harinaam performances to invoke auspiciousness for everyone.
Highlights of this MSF are:
· Many teams including Sunday school team, motel Gita team, Smart box team participated in this book distribution.
· Our special guest, HG Mukunda Datta Prabhu discussed glories of Ganga Devi and special Harinaam was held on Jahnu Saptami in glorification of Mother Ganga. Devotees enthusiastically chanted the holy names and profusely distributed transcendental literature.
· Srimad Bhagavatam sets were distributed door-door, at Sunday feasts and in the home programs. New and enthusiastic devotees joined the Sankirtan party.
· Travelling Sankirtan devotees went to Dublin and had great success.
As we make this offering of the MSF results, we are pleased to report that all the goals had been successfully met and surpassed.
With respect to the books:
In all:
• More than 40 devotees participated in book distribution
• Team ISV distributed 9903 in book points, including (1 CC set, 6 Lilamrta sets and 39 Srimad Bhagavavatam sets)
• Team ISV raised $ 11,470.00 in Laxmi (including donations and sponsorships)
We thank all participating devotees, donors and our Sankirtana leaders who contributed to this MSF. We also thank Shailesh Prabhu for compiling the scores. We express our deepest gratitude to our beloved HG Vaisesika Prabhu for praying to Lord Narasimha dev for our success at ISV and encouraging us at every step of our Sankirtana!
Today, we want to make a sincere prayer to Lord Narasimha Dev:
"O Lord Narasimha Dev! You are the source of all power! If you so desire, kindly remove all obstacles on the path of progress of the devotees at ISV.
Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that we may become fearless to spread the Sankrtan movement. Let the Sankirtan movement spread like wild fire here at ISV, in North America and throughout the world.
We pray for all the living entities in the universe as stated in SB 5.18.9
svasty astu viśvasya khalaḥ prasīdatāṁ
dhyāyantu bhūtāni śivaṁ mitho dhiyā
manaś ca bhadraṁ bhajatād adhokṣaje
āveśyatāṁ no matir apy ahaitukī
May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other's welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him.
Your servant,
Malini devi dasi
(ISV Sankirtan team, San Jose)
