$1,000,000 in the bank isn't the fantasy. The fantasy is the lifestyle of complete freedom it supposedly allows.
― Timothy Ferriss
Today I want to tell you a 250 word story that changed my view of the world.
But first I have to let you in on a little secret…
How Average People Can Feel and Live Like Millionaires
This morning I woke up to what I've decided is the most breathtaking morning view of my life.
I'm writing from the deck of a modest thatched roof bungalow set over a small soft sandy beach cove on the Island of Koh Lanta, Thailand. The hotel, if you can call it that, is aptly named 'Relax Bay.'
Yesterday we upgraded to a 'VIP' room with air conditioning (last night had no AC, which made for a tough 85-degree high humidity night…). It's the only room in this cove that is actually on the sand. We have a full view of the private turquoise bay from our deck, where a nice little hammock also hangs.
The real kicker? This experience cost me nothing…
This room, which will no doubt be the room by which all future Dinsmore vacation standards will be measured, with breakfast and wifi included, costs 4,050 Thai Baht, which translates to just over $140 USD a night (most our rooms have been closer to $65/night). If we want a 60-minute massage, it will cost an additional $13.
A room at the Best Western in the San Francisco suburbs near my hometown easily costs more than that on a slow night.
To add to the fun, we booked our flight using free airline miles from our credit card, allowing us to travel like millionaires, in the front of the plane in Business Class, complete with full bar menu and 5-course meals on fine china — while paying less than $45 for our round trip tickets from SF to Bangkok. That saved us over $3,300 if we were buying coach tickets, or $16,000 for two ridiculously priced full fare business class tickets (which we would never even consider buying).
We also found someone to take care of our apartment, using Airbnb, who paid us $2,800 before we left — God I love that service!
So from day one of this trip, we were over $6,100 in the green.
With the Right Creativity Anything's Possible
I tell all of you this to show you that a trip like this is not as out of reach as most think. Chelsea and I are not able to take this trip because we have some absurd amount of money (which we don't). We are able to take it because we got creative and found the flexibility. As a result, it's possible this trip will cost us a net of zero dollars.
Remember, it's not the money that everyone is after, it's the experiences we imagine that will come with the money.
As it turns out, often you can have the millionaire experiences without the need for all the zeros in your bank account (and the wasted decades to accumulate them). That is a very freeing realization.
I hope you all take this into account as you think about any excuses you might have found in the past, which have kept you from exploring. I believe world travel is the most powerful self-discovery and learning tool on the the planet. There is no better education and no better way to expand your understanding of what's possilbe.
That's why I spend as much time as I do with the 'travel hacking' and all else to make sure these trips happen.
I do everything in my power to kill the excuses.
I hope you'll prioritize to do the same.
One such revelation came at just before 7am this morning as I awoke and looked out my window to see a lone fisherman in his boat, collecting his fishing nets to see what the previous night had brought him.
It was possibly the most serene and calming view of my life.
Seeing his early morning efforts immediately reminded me of a story I refer to often. One that whether you've heard it before or not, is always worth another read.
I don't think any set of 250 words has changed me more than this one…
How Simplicity Swindled the Investment Banker (and the rest of the world)
An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The Mexican replied, "only a little while."
The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish?
The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.
The American then asked, "but what do you do with the rest of your time?"
The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life."
The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied, "15 – 20 years."
"But what then?" Asked the Mexican.
The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!"
"Millions – then what?"
The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."
Are Your Working Towards What You Actually Want?
Too often we try to over-complicate things.
I am more guilty of this than most.
When we clear away all the noise and societal expectations, most of us will be refreshed to see we already have all it is that we really want. And what we're told we should be working towards, is actually taking away from our ability to experience what matters.
As I swing here in this hammock, I'm overcome by this realization — and this inspiring feeling of responsibility. Of possibility. That while the message we strive to deliver and help people with at Live Your Legend is quite simple (spend your time doing things that make you and others come alive), it has the profound ability to change the world.
Our revolution here means everything to me.
And none of it would be possible without all of you Living Legends who make it what it is.
I have never been more committed to the cause we all believe in and the task we have ahead of us.
Our impact is going to be huge.
May we all spend a little more time fishing today, and every day going forward — whatever that means to each of us.
As for me, I think we'll stay in this room a few extra nights…
Now tell us in the comments – what did this fisherman make you realize?

Hey Scott,
I love these 250 words. What a great reminder.
The meaning of these words are exactly why I chose to say no to the $20,000 promotion and why I choose to make every Tuesday adventure day with my kids.
I guess that is why we call it living hey?
I really appreciate you letting everyone know about our litte Aussie gathering. We are really looking forward to creating a bunch of fun!
I am enjoying hearing all about your adventure in Thailand. Thanks for sharing it.
~ Naz
Wow Naz – you continue to amaze me with how crystal clear you see what matters to you. So refreshing! And you know how excited I am for what all you ladies are doing. Anything I can do it support I will – I'm very much in your corner. I just wish I could be there with you all next month!
Your Tuesdays sound perfect btw :).
Tuesdays are pretty hard to beat! This is my daughter on top of the world exploring the Sydney Botanical Gardens.
And we stand behind everything YOU do Scott.
I second what Naz says about the 250 words. LOVE that! And it is for this reason that I have requested reducing my 'face time' at my day job to 4 days/week.
Let's start shifting that balance baby!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for spreading the word about the Sydney get together. It is truly going to be an amazing day.
So glad you and Chelsea are enjoying Thailand, you deserve it my friend.
Big hugs,
This will make you laugh — my therapist keeps telling me I could be the "British Scott Dinsmore".
Reading this I've realised that the decision I took to quit my job a year ago was the most important I've made so far in my adult life.
I'd been unhappy in my job for so long without even realising it, and although the past year has been a roller-coaster of emotions, I'd take that over cubicle life any day. (Note: I didn't actually work in a cubicle. I had a great job at a respected design studio working with a bunch of very talented people. But my "me" was slowly suffocating).
At the moment I'm sat in an amazing 18th century windmill building (see attached) where I've been working remotely for the past two weeks. There's a wood-burning stove to keep me warm, and fibre-optic broadband to let me work.
Some days I've woken at 6am and written 800 word blog posts. Other days I've gone for bike rides or long walks, or just read books and played guitar (badly).
It's just hit me… I'm *already* living the future life that I was chasing.
I have less money but more freedom. Less certainty but more possibilities… because I have hundreds if not thousands of new connections with the world.
(My current office)
James, your current office looks like a dream!
It is… or was… back in London now !
Why would you ever leave this one?
That is the coolest office I've see in a long time!
Congratulations, James!
I was an investment banker, did a deal in Costa Rica and for the past 12 years have been living in Costa Rica and setting up vacations….now I live in a little paradise called Perez Zeledon nestled between Costa Rica's highest peak (13,000 feet) and the Pacific Coast (25 minutes down the mountain) where I am into things like hydroponic gardening, my gallinero and surfing as often as possible….those 250 words really hit home and made me think….sometimes I catch myself wondering what life would be like if I had continued on the former path….and then I think about all those bankers who have a lot more money than I do, but when they visit I can detect a tad of envy…
Pura Vida,
Those words are so true. So many times I find myself wondering what it takes to get someplace, when the reality is it is so easy to do. It's time to stop wondering, start creating more, and living the life that I truly want. By the way, I'm having my spanish class answer your 27 questions to finding your passion as part of their final project. It is going to be a real game changer in these college students' lives.
Hope your enjoying Thailand!
This is the type of article that can change a person's life. I'm grateful that a topic as important as this is in the hands of such a talented writer and communicator. No question why you have all the success you do.
Very refreshing, Scott! Reading this post and the comments below really blew my socks off. Great message and great to hear what others are doing around the world!
This is actually the story that inspired me the most as well from the 4-Hour Work Week and I was just working on a post about it as well.
It really makes you question life as many westerners see it. Maybe a pension in the end is not the only answer to life. Maybe there are other ways we just don't know about.
That story and the book completely changed my life. I now travel most of the year, meet amazing people and live limitless; doing things like bungy jumping, losing half my body fat in 12-weeks, Acting in movies, teaching people how to travel around the world for free, and getting engaged to a beautiful Mexican señorita.
I never imagined myself writing and inspiring people. I never imagined myself living such a remarkable life without millions in the bank.
It just takes a shift in the mindset. That's it.
Thanks Scott. Great post.
Hi Scott,
interesting article!!
1) As far as, "1,000,000 in the bank isn't the fantasy. The fantasy is the lifestyle of complete freedom it supposedly allows." by Tim Ferriss.
Actually in his case, the truth is quite different because is net worth is something about $15,000,000!!
2) The story you have reported is not related at all to the subject "Living off Your Passion" because the Mexican man mainly lives for a life of pleasures which is quite different just to use a euphemism !!
All the best!
Fab, greetings from Italy.
This is awesome Scott! I think for me it's not even so much about going someplace amazing (although I wouldn't turn it down). For me it's about the time to be able to do so. With a salaried job I'm pretty much stuck with the time off they give me, which is why I'm busting my ass to change things :).
Scott, you and my mum sound so alike! I've just graduated in November, and I've been waiting ever since then for a visa to go work at an awesome studio where I scored a job.
During this long, seemingly endless wait, I started working on stuff that I was really passionate about – handicrafts and repurposing/upcycling. I'm enjoying myself so much now, that I wonder if this is my dream job
I love this!
I have actually been to Koh Tao as far as a week back, doing my scuba diving and freediving courses. Before that I was in Bangkok, did a zip lining jungle trek in Laos and enjoyed Singapore for a while just after attending the Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix finals (most of which I didn't have to pay for, not even 1$).
Opening oneself up to other people and the opportunities some unexpected relations bring is priceless. Well, actually, it does have a price – one you would put on dreams coming true
This is right on time! Just in the last two weeks, I've had to explain and defend (twice in court) my choice to live a simple life and explain how I travel and live without large sums of money in the bank.
"They" wanted to know why I choose not to drive, how I manage to travel without a 9-5, why I travel, etc. It felt like a witch hunt!
They couldn't (or refused to) understand why I choose not to work myself crazy or into a hospital.
Why? Because most of my work days look like…
Hi Scott, the ibanker and fisherman story is a classic life lesson story. People should read it every once in a while to remember what's important.
I work in finance and a guy whose blog I follow wrote a somewhat similar story…good read.
Great article. Very relevant for tech / internet entrepreneurs. I love the guy's writing style.
Thanks Scott for a great article Scott. It is always great to remember the fisherman story. Enjoy your time in Thailand.
Thanks Scott for a great article.
I love the fisherman story. It is one of the stories that I always keep in mind when when I think about my actions and the future.
Thanks for the reminder and enjoy Thailand.
I so need a vacation.
The very good knowledge you have written here so that we know how to reach our goal and feel like a millionaire. You have given a very good inspiration to us for doing the right things in order to get success in the life.

I was excited enough to leave a thought I actually do have a few questions for you if you usually do not mind. Is it only me or does it look as if like a few of the responses come across like left by brain dead people? And, if you are writing at other online social sites, I would like to follow you. Would you make a list the complete urls of your communal sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

What is a Union?
A union is an organization of working people who unite to get rights on the job that they could not get by themselves. As individuals, workers are no match for the employer.
Without a union, the employer decides everything and the employee has no say at all.
1. The action or fact of joining together or being joined together.
Union may refer to:
Trade union or labor union, an organization of workers that have banded together, often for the purpose of getting better working conditions or pay

Labor Unions History in America
Schedule of speakers for July 18-19 public meeting on proposed election rule changes
Labor unions in the United States are legally recognized as representatives of workers in many industries. The most prominent unions are among public sector employees such as teachers and police. Activity by labor unions in the United States today centers on collective bargaining over wages, benefits, and working conditions for their membership and on representing their members if management attempts to violate contract provisions. Although much smaller compared to their peak membership in the 1950s, American unions also remain an important political factor, both through mobilization of their own memberships and through coalitions with like-minded activist organizations around issues such as immigrant rights, trade policy, health care, and living wage campaigns.
Today most unions are aligned with one of two larger umbrella organizations: the AFL-CIO created in 1955 and the Change to Win Federation, which split from the AFL-CIO in 2005. Both advocate policies and legislation on behalf of workers in the United States and Canada, and take an active role in politics. The AFL-CIO is especially concerned with global trade issues.
American union membership in the private sector has in recent years fallen under 9% — levels not seen since 1932. Unions allege that employer-incited opposition has contributed to this decline in membership.
Unions are currently advocating new federal legislation that would allow workers to elect union representation by simply signing a support card. The current process established by federal law requires at least 30% of employees to sign cards for the union, then wait 45 to 90 days for a federal official to conduct a secret ballot election in which a simple majority of the employees must vote for the union in order to obligate the employer to bargain. Unions report that, under the present system, many employers use the 45 to 90 day period to conduct anti-union campaigns. Some opponents of this legislation fear that removing secret balloting from the process will lead to the intimidation and coercion of workers on behalf of the unions.
During the 2008 elections, the Employee Free Choice Act had widespread support of many legislators in the House and Senate, and of the President. Since then, support for the "card check" provisions of the EFCA subsided substantially.
Unions: Do They Help Or Hurt Workers?
Employers and workers seem to approach employment from vastly different perspectives. So how can the two sides reach any sort of agreement? The answer lies in unions. Unions have played a role in the worker-employer dialogue for centuries, but in the last few decades many aspects of the business environment have changed. With this in mind, it's important to understand how unions fit into the current business environment, and what role unions play in the modern economy.
What Are Unions?
Unions are organizations that negotiate with corporations, businesses and other organizations on behalf of union members. There are trade unions, which represent workers who do a particular type of job, and industrial unions, which represent workers in a particular industry. The American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is a trade union, while the United Auto Workers (UAW) is an industrial union.
What Do Unions Do?
Since the Industrial Revolution, unions have often been credited with securing improvements in working conditions and wages. Many unions were formed in manufacturing and resource companies, companies operating in steel mills, textile factories and mines. Over time, however, unions have spread into other industries. Unions are often associated with the "old economy": companies that operate in heavily regulated environments. Today, a large portion of membership is found in transportation, utilities and government. (Learn more about economic history, see An Exploration Of The Development Of The Market.)
The number of union members and the depth at which unions penetrate the economy varies from country to country. Some governments aggressively block or regulate a union's formation and others have focused their economies in industries where unions have not traditionally participated.
Industry deregulation, increased competition and labor mobility have made it more difficult for traditional unions to operate. In recent decades, unions have experienced limited growth due to a shift from "old economy" industries, which often involved manufacturing and large companies, to smaller and medium-sized companies outside of manufacturing. In the recent past, potential union members have spread into a larger set of companies. This makes collective bargaining a more complicated task, as union leaders must work with a larger set of managers and often have a harder time organizing employees.
The evolution of the modern worker has also changed the role of unions. The traditional focus of union leaders has been representing workers when negotiating with managers, but when developed economies shift away from a reliance on manufacturing, the line between manager and worker becomes blurred. In addition, automation, computers and increased worker productivity results in fewer workers being needed to do the same job.
How Do Unions Affect the Labor Environment?
The power of labor unions rests in their two main tools of influence: restricting labor supply and increasing labor demand. Some economists compare them to cartels. Through collective bargaining, unions negotiate the wages that employers will pay. Unions ask for a higher wage than the equilibrium wage (found at the intersect of the labor supply and labor demand curves), but this can lower the hours demanded by employers. Since a higher wage rate equates to less work per dollar, unions often face problems when negotiating higher wages and instead will often focus on increasing the demand for labor. Unions can use several different techniques to increase the demand for labor, and thus, wages. Unions can, and do, use the following techniques:
•Push for minimum wage increases. Minimum wage increases the labor costs for employers using low-skilled workers. This decreases the gap between the wage rate of low-skilled and high-skilled workers; high-skilled workers are more likely to be represented by a union. (To learn more, see Exploring The Minimum Wage.)
•Increase the marginal productivity of its workers. This is often done through training.
•Support restrictions on imported goods through quotas and tariffs. This increases demand for domestic production and, therefore, domestic labor. (To read more about tariffs, read The Basics Of Tariffs And Trade Barriers.)
•Lobbying for stricter immigration rules. This limits growth in the labor supply, especially of low-skilled workers from abroad. Similar to the effect of increases in the minimum wage, a limitation in the supply of low-skilled workers pushes up their wages. This makes high-skilled laborers more attractive.
Unions have a unique legal position and in some sense, they operate like a monopoly as they are immune to antitrust laws. Because unions control, or can exert a good deal of influence on, the labor supply for a particular company or industry, unions can restrict non-union workers from depressing the wage rate. They are able to do this because legal guidelines provide a certain level of protection to union activities. (For more information on antitrust laws, read Antitrust Defined.)
What Can Unions Do During Negotiations?
When unions want to increase union member wages or request other concessions from employers, they can do so through collective bargaining. Collective bargaining is a process in which workers (through a union) and employers meet to discuss the employment environment. Unions will present their argument for a particular issue, and employers must decide whether to concede to the workers' demands or to present counterarguments. The term "bargaining" may be misleading, as it brings to mind two people haggling at a flea market. In reality, the goal of the union in collective bargaining is to improve the status of the worker while still keeping the employer in business. The bargaining relationship is continuous, rather than just a one-time affair.
If unions are unable to negotiate, or are not satisfied with the outcomes of collective bargaining, they may initiate a work stoppage or strike. Threatening a strike can be as advantageous as actually striking, provided that the possibility of a strike is deemed feasible by employers. The effectiveness of an actual strike depends on whether the work stoppage can actually force employers to concede to demands. This is not always the case, as seen in 1984 when the National Union of Mineworkers, a trade union based in the United Kingdom, ordered a strike that, after a year, failed to result in concessions and was called off.
Do Unions Work?
Whether unions positively or negatively affect the labor market depends on whom you ask. Unions say that they help increase the wage rate, improve working conditions and create incentives for employees to learn continued job training. Union wages were 21% percent higher than non-union wages as of 2002, though this figure varies according to industry.
Critics counter the unions' claims by pointing to changes in productivity and a competitive labor market as some of the primary reasons behind wage adjustments.
If the labor supply increases faster than labor demand, there will be a glut of available employees, which can depress wages (according to the law of supply and demand). Unions may be able to prevent employers from eliminating jobs through the threat of a walkout or strike, which will shut down production, but this technique does not necessarily work. Labor, like any other factor of production, is a cost that employers factor in when producing goods and services. If employers pay higher wages than their competitors, they will wind up with higher-priced products, which are less likely to be purchased by consumers. (For more on this, see Examining The Phillips Curve.)
Increases in union wages can come at the expense of non-unionized workers, who lack the same level of representation with management. Once a union is ratified by the government, it is considered a representative of the workers, regardless of whether all workers are actually part of the union. Additionally, as a condition of employment, unions are able to deduct union dues from employee paychecks without prior consent.
Whether unions were a primary cause of a decline in labor demand by "old economy" industries is up for debate. While unions did force wage rates upward compared to non-union members, this did not necessarily force those industries to employ fewer workers. In the United States, "old economy" industries have declined for a number of years as the economy shifts away from heavy industries. (To learn more about economic terms and theories, see the Economics Basics Tutorial.)
Unions have undoubtedly left their mark on the economy, and continue to be significant forces that shape the business and political environments. They exist in a wide variety of industries, from heavy manufacturing to the government, and assist workers in obtaining better wages and working conditions.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KFGO AM) -- Senator Amy Klobuchar is optimistic a Farm Bill will be passed soon.
Klobuchar is on the conference committee and says if a bill isn't passed by the end of this year it could also be done as part of a budget deal in January.
But she says details need to be negotiated by people on the Agriculture Committee from farm states who understand the repercussions of making one change or another.
Klobuchar says the Senate Farm Bill reduces the deficit by 24 billion dollars, strengthens crop insurance, eliminates direct payments and supports dairy producers -- and she says it has strong energy and conservation measures.
The big disagreement between the Republican-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate is over food stamps.

Had an epic. Didn't place a second cam on the first section as felt confident with the move. Slipped decked out and hit the floor. Got back on the route and led it with a rest before the crux. Climbed the crux easily. Gear 0.5, 1 (first section), 3 (traverse), No. 3 walnut (crack), 2.5 cam (break), 2 cam. Left hand jam, right foot rock-over, reach for break at crux.

I can safely say I faffed on this route. Did the traverse, got my gear muddled & so reversed back to the areter. Then back out to the crux & pulled through. I thought the hardest bit was arranging the gear at the crux. The pull through just requires finding the good jam & then a gung ho approach.leon - Lead O/S - 10/Jul/11 with Steven Davidson

a pumpy little number. the swing inducing traverse induced some terror too and i found myself hanging on a hastily placed cam in the horizonttal brake. bollocks.after hang dodding a while the crux didn't seem to bad. the two foot of snow at the top made the easier ground somewhat harrowing. great fun all in all.w.pettet-smith - Lead - 07/Feb/09 with david the numpty

fairly tricky move past the initial bulge, then to the horizontal cracks which are very good. Stuffed loads of gear before heading out. Got to the crux, stupidly tried the rock up without placing the perfect nut placement in the obvious hole below the roof, failed it, too pumped to put gear in, fell, big swing, turned upside down, head about a foot away from a boulder. Wasn't wearing a helmet. Lucky to escape with just a few scrapes. The crux is quite hard. The initial horizontal break is very good, but the second is pretty rubbish and shallow.Jeronimo - Lead dnf - 23/Jul/08 with Ben Johnson

Should have got it really, had the numbest of numb hands and had a quick rest on the crux to warm them up. Traverse is the psychological crux for sure and as said above a green alien will go quite nicely in the hand holds. No need for in situ sling as cams fit in there perfectly. Just keep going once you get them in! Classic route though, well worth doing.Chad123 - Lead dog - Dec/06 with Emily

Shipping was super fast, and in perfect condition. Will be using soon to site in scope and laser.
Outstanding both in terms of price and function. Used it in the back yard to adjust sight on new gun, went to the range a few evenings later, hit within target rings on the first shot. I needed some minor adjustment, but instantly knew how much and which direction.
the only way to sight in. quick, saves ammo, easy.
works as advertised very durable and easy to use sight mark is a very good company
Very high quality as it should be for the price. This will be the last bore sighter you will need to purchase in your lifetime.

Compared to last time I wrote, I feel I have improved, in some part. I feel a bit more separated from myself right now, but I don't feel that 'anguish' that I tried to explain. It has been a rough short time, but I think I am finally starting to feel myself and ability growing. Something I thought wasn't happening.
Though, I cannot figure out the mental anguish nor the 'separation' feeling I currently endure, nor if it is related to the feeling of growth.
Though I have noticed a bit of a decline within the Sorcerer. I often wonder if he is straining himself, if his age is getting to him or if something else is up…
Perhaps there is a reason he chose someone for apprenticeship, chose me. Clearly, time will tell.

Solarino is a little Italian bistro tucked away off Little Collins Street.
Retro Garlic Prawns Served with Char-grilled Bread ($32.9)
Favourite dish which I will keep coming back for. Crunchy juicy prawns smothered in a buttery garlicky sauce. Tearing hunks of the crusty buttery bread and soaking up that delicious sauce was a real highlight. Reminded me of the Cajun Shrimp I had in Orlando.
Duck Risotto
Flavour was a little lacking. A little too sweet for my taste.
Spaghetti Vongole with Pesto & Blood Orange
Fresh clams. Pasta was al dente. Don't know if I like my pasta with pesto.
Grilled Octopus & Rocket Salad
I probably wouldn't try their other dishes, but I'd definitely be back for those buttery garlicky prawns.

Forgetting The Past
In the Balkan Mountain range in Bulgaria lies a frozen monument to communism, the Buzludzha, this flying saucer-like secret supervillain lair stands 70 metre tall and took 7 years to construct by 6,000 workers. Photographer slash explorer Timothy Allen took a flyby before stepping foot inside the derelict dome, left to ruin in 1989 after the revolution. The interior is full of communist mosaic frescos rising above the snow-impacted hallways. Ownership currently lies with the Bulgarian Socialist Party, who still debate over what to do with it (besides concoct world-dominating plans from within), but it's still accessible to anybody intrepid enough!

Increase Our Faith - Part One
Sermon shared by J. Yeargin
August 2002
Summary: ...a church will pray and pray for a miracle to take place and then when it happens�they don�t believe it.
Series: Increase Our Fatih
Scripture: Luke 17:5 Acts 12:5-12:17 (add scripture)
Tags: Faith Prayer (add tag)
Denomination: Assembly of God
Audience: Believer adults
And likewise, we do too. I know people who can�t forgive a person 7 times in a lifetime, much less 7 times in one day. What Jesus was teaching to them (and is teaching to us today) is very difficult for us to learn.
If we are ever going to understand all that Jesus wants and expects from us, we are going to have to
Otherwise we aren�t going to make it.
James 1:6-7
6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord;
Our faith needs to be increased so that whenever we come to a crisis, in our life, we will be ready for it.
But that�s not easy, is it?
Why is faith so difficult for us to have sometimes? One reason is because we are always loosing faith in people.
Example: Someone will promise to meet us somewhere and they don�t show up. No phone call. No explanation. No apology.
Our response is, �Well I�ll never have faith in what they say ever again��
You see we all know what it means to loose faith in a person, and so naturally we find it easy to think that God might not be faithful, either.
We say, �After all, God didn�t answer my prayer last time. God allowed this terrible thing to happen to me.�
So now we have to ask Jesus just like the Apostles asked,
�Lord, increase our faith.�
Did you notice what Jesus said next?
�If you have faith as small as a mustard seed��
I think that means � we don�t �have faith any larger than a mustard seed.
Are you getting the picture yet? We need Jesus to INCREASE OUR FAITH.
We really don�t have much faith.
Do we? We need God to help us.
Let�s face the real problem, folks.
We lack having real faith. Don�t we?
Sometimes we have more faith -
� In our car starting than we have in God answering our prayer.
� In our best friend helping us out than we do in Jesus making the difference for us.
� In getting a weekly paycheck to pay our bills than we do in paying our tithes.
� In our doctor diagnosing and treating our illness than we do in the God that created us and gives us our every breath.
Don�t take any of this as condemnation. Just face the cold hard facts. We need GOD to
We can have faith in a chair to stay together long enough for us to sit in it.
But have you ever had a folding chair collapse on you? Feel pretty foolish?
The things we trust in this life are no different than this folding chair.
Jesus has made us lots of promises we need to have faith in. Here�s one:
I�ll never leave you nor forsake you!�
Right about now someone may be thinking to themselves,
�Hmm, I need to start working on this�
No, beloved, that�s not how it works.
You can�t buy faith, and you can�t muster it up on your own.
Faith (rightfully) belongs to God.
You can only get His faith from Him.
The Apostles said to Jesus,
�Increase our faith.�
It always comes back to Jesus.
With the internet, any of us can study up on a lot of things in this world, but faith will be found on the world-wide-web. I know because I looked it up last night.
There is a faith.com, but it told me I had to have a password.
Seriously, faith is not something we will be able to understand in this lifetime.
I cannot

Shack Snack: April 15, 2014
Welcome to the Shack Snack--a revival of our MIA Shacknews Daily. Every morning, we'll be giving you a one-minute recap of the three biggest stories of the previous day. Let us know what you think and don't forget to subscribe to us on YouTube!
Civilization: Beyond Earth takes the series into the future
In Beyond Earth, players will explore and colonize an alien world. As always, player choice is crucial to the gameplay, as individual decisions will have serious repercussions on how society develops. For example, even the initial crew you choose for the expedition to the new world will have a dramatic impact on the cultural identity that eventually develops--will you have more mercenaries or scientists, for example? What will that ship be equipped with?
Titanfall: Expedition coming May
The first DLC for Titanfall has been announced at PAX East. "Expedition" will add three maps will be coming in May and it will continue the story told in the game's campaign.
PAX South expands to Texas in early 2015
Unable to attend PAX East? Perhaps you didn't live in that part of the world? Well, you'll have yet another chance to attend a gaming convention, as Penny Arcade have announced yet another show: PAX South, debuting in San Antonio in early 2015.
Most Commented:
Star Citizen dogfighting captured on video
Chris Roberts and Cloud Imperium Games has raised over $40 million so far for Star Citizen. So, what does their space game look like? A new video has emerged from PAX East.

Flowers in Blue
Is blue still for boys? Rachel helped her friend paint these great blue flowers in her nursery. Her friend is having a girl and her husband thought this color looked too much like a boy's room. What do you think?
Rachel told us this project only took one afternoon. "Using a shade or two darker than the color on the wall, we freehand painted whimsical flower silhouettes around the room up to chest height," she explained. Sounds simple- but we're not sure ours will turn out as pretty as these!
website is a great source for all things color. She always has insightful, thought-provoking posts about color in its many forms.

I feel like this is more of a robin's egg blue, or a tiffany blue which are both slightly less 'boyish' shades I think. Having said that, I think blue is really the less restrictive of the traditionally gender specific colors (blue/pink).
I love it for a girl!
I think it's beautiful! I am a big believer in being different and love that you stayed away from the typical colours. this is such a soft inviting room.
I really hate the whole 'blue for boys', 'pink for girls' thing. Gender association with colors is an adult thing, not a kids thing. Kids, both boys and girls, love bright, vibrant colors - they don't discriminate until they learn how to from parents.
The blue you chose is absolutely fabulous and the little girl will love it. Tell dad to chill out.
Beautiful! And let's not forget, the room looks pristinely blue and white now but in no time it will be filled with plenty of gifts, stuffed animals, and various doodads in myriad shades of pink.
What Maryja said. This blue/pink thing is such a pet peeve for me! It makes no sense. Do people think it's genetic or something? If the kid doesn't care, why should anyone else? What terrible unspeakable thing do people think will happen if girls are exposed to blue and boys to pink? I used to dress my son in *gasp* purple (don't care for pink, myself) and floral prints. Do you suppose he'll be scarred for life?
Anyway, I think this is absolutely beautiful, I LOVE that shade of blue. Very calming. And those flowers are gorgeous! I can't believe they were done freehand. If you love blue, go blue, if you love pink, go pink, regardless of the gender of your child.
Makes me think of a Tiffany's box...which is totally girl.
Perfect! I would have loved this as a wee one!
I wouldn't normally paint flowers in a boy's room, even if they were a different color other than blue. The flowers, to me, is what makes the room feminine, not the color. I like!!
I think the blue is lovely and totally appropriate for a girl. I, too, am having a girl and everytime I reach towards something in a store that isn't pink, I am repeatedly asked if I am having a boy. Sigh.
I think this room looks fantastic. I can't tell if the color's robin's egg or a little more aqua, but it feels very soothing, and good for either gender. The flowers are great for a child, yet sophisticated enough to grow into. Great job!
Argh, I hate that gender stereotyping by color. It's a beautiful blue, and it's the parents who care about the blue/pink thing, not babies!
My son's favorite color is pink! So he has pink in his room. I agree that color choice is forced on children by their gender - quite sad as children should be allowed joy in their favorite colors without having to be worry about being made fun of.
The blue is beautiful - looks just like Tiffany blue which form many women/girls is a favorite color.
The room is beautiful, sweet, and calm.
beware gender un-stereotypers! you may find, like I did, that your little girl really does look her best in pink but jaundiced in green/purple/etc. and have to make silent excuses to yourself (and sometimes, I am ashamed to say, out loud to others) because of having a little girl dressed in little girl pink! (and really, after all, why not, if we are so unstereotyped?)
