Known as the cradle of Western Civilization, birthplace of Socrates, Sophocles, and Pericles, and home to the Acropolis or the Parthenon just to mention a few of its famous antique ruins, Athens has become over the centuries an attractive capital city that exquisitely combines its rich historic and cultural past with the vibrant buzz of modern life.
The sprawling city of Athens is established among seven historic hills and surrounded by remarkable mountains. It is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and an attractive destination for culture and food lovers. There's so much to see and do in Athens that it's impossible to feel bored. From admiring the ancient ruins to shopping at high-end boutiques, falling in love with breathtaking sunsets, and eating the most delicious meals, the Greek capital will definitely seduce you.
After reaching the country by plane, the capital is not far away from the airport. Renting a car is a great idea as it makes it easier to explore the surrounding areas on day trips and visit neighborhoods that may be more distant to explore on foot. There are many stunning places and towns just a few kilometers away and it's a pity that you miss them just because you can't book any bus or shuttle transport arrangement! You can find the major car rental agencies of course and choose the car that is more comfortable for you. If you are American and renting a vehicle is in your plans, you can save money and time by purchasing a policy to cover your rental while you're still at home and show it to the agent at the desk. You can find an affordable insurance policy here.
Athens is a captivating city. Here are some of the highlights you can't miss on a trip to the city.
The Acropolis
Visiting the Acropolis is probably the main reason why most people would love to travel to Athens. It's not only the most famous hill in the Greek capital, it's considered the highest point in the spirit of ancient Greek culture. It's the area where some of the most important Greek ruins are located that remind us of the glorious past of the Greek civilization.
The architectural and cultural highlights that can be found there are the emblematic Parthenon with its rows of Doric columns, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Erechtheion amongst others.
Considered the cradle of Western Civilization, it is visible from almost everywhere in the city. Listed as a World-Heritage site since 1987, it regularly undergoes restoration programs so it's not strange to see it surrounded by scaffolding. Most of the original friezes and sculptures have been moved to the Acropolis Museum and replaced with casts.
Needless to say, thousands of visitors gather in the Acropolis to admire the views from atop the hill and explore the stunning ruins. That said, it's a good idea to visit it as early in the morning as possible.
Admission is free on the first Sunday of the month from November to March and there's a combo ticket that allows entrance to the Acropolis and six other sites within five days. Fortunately, tickets can be purchased online. With so many things to see and explore in a single area, it's a great idea to take advantage of this. Beware that it can get extremely hot on summer days and there's no shade available so remember to wear sunscreen and a hat to cover yourself up!
There are many streetside restaurants that offer rooftop dining from where you can enjoy not only some delicious Greek meals but also take in the breathtaking views of the Acropolis at night. The views are incredible, especially since the Temple of Athena Nike and the Parthenon are lit up every evening.
Those traveling with kids and teens who fear that visiting the Acropolis and the different ruins can be too much for them, too overwhelming, or too boring are advised to take a private family guided tour. They are usually kid-friendly and make the whole experience more interesting and appealing for them.
The Acropolis Museum
Located close to the Acropolis, on Dionysiou Areopagitou Street in the historical area of Plaka near the Holy Rock of the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum is another remarkable highlight that anyone traveling to Athens just has to visit. It is home to one of the most valuable collections of Ancient Greek art in the world. It's a really huge facility with 14000 square meters of exhibition space distributed on five floors and showcases over 4000 artifacts. As queues can be long, it's a savvy idea to pick up the skip-the-line ticket that is offered online.
The collection covers the Archaic period to the Roman one, but the emphasis is made on the Acropolis of the V century BC as it is considered the apotheosis of Greece's artistic achievement. Visitors to the museum can appreciate from ancient ruins beneath the building to the Acropolis itself.
As you enter the museum, you'll step on a glass floor that reveals the ruins of an ancient Athenian neighborhood that were uncovered during the construction of the museum and had to be not only preserved but only integrated into the building plan of the museum.
On the ground floor, there's the Gallery of the Slopes of Acropolis. It emulates the climb up to the sacred hill. Exhibits include painted vases and votive offerings from the sanctuaries where the gods were worshipped.
The first floor takes visitors to the Archaic Gallery, a forest of statues that mostly represent votive offerings to Athena. Most were recovered from a pit on the Acropolis, where the Athenians buried them after the Battle of Salamis. There are also bronze artifacts and figurines from temples predating the Parthenon. There are also five Caryatids, the maiden columns that held up the Erechtheion (the remaining one can be seen at the British Museum).
The top floor of the Acropolis Museum is probably the cherry of the cake, the exhibit that everybody wants to see and that nobody wants to miss: welcome to the Parthenon Gallery! A glass atrium houses the temple's 160-m-long frieze. It is mounted following the layout of the building and you can stroll along, as though atop the columns, and examine the fragments at eye level. The frieze depicts the Panathenaic Procession. Between the golden-hued originals, visitors can appreciate replicas made in white plaster in lieu of the missing pieces: known as the Parthenon Marbles, and currently held in the British Museum.
The permanent exhibitions include, besides the already mentioned, the Athena statue, Color the Peplos Kore, and Athena Nike.
The Acropolis Museum is a must-visit place for anyone interested in Ancient Greece, its history, and culture and it's the perfect complement after a visit to the Acropolis site.
The Parthenon
Standing majestically at the top of the Acropolis, the Parthenon is the most famous building in Athens and probably one of the main reasons why many people choose this Mediterranean country as a holiday destination. Built-in Doric architectural style, it is situated on the site of a former temple to Athena Parthenos and it's decorated with sculptures that are considered great examples of Greek art.
The Parthenon had two purposes: be home to the great statue of Athena commissioned to Pericles and serve as the new treasury. The temple consisted of eight fluted Doric columns at either end and 17 on each side. To achieve perfect form, its lines were ingeniously curved to create an optical illusion so that they look straight.
The ceiling of the Parthenon was painted blue and gilded with stars. At the eastern end was the holy cella or inner room into which only a few privileged initiates could enter. It was the place where the statue of Athena Parthenos was built. The statue was made of ivory and gold with a wooden core and stood about 12m high on its pedestal and it was exquisitely decorated. Unfortunately, in AD 426 the statue disappeared after it was taken to Constantinople.
The Parthenon is today in the XXI century, one of the most remarkable sites in Athens and a clear symbol of Athenian democracy and western civilization. It has to be said, however, that the building is not complete. The original friezes can be admired at the Acropolis Museum and the Statues can be seen at the British Museum.
The Erechtheum or Erechtheion is another of the main tourist attractions that visitors can appreciate at the Acropolis. It's a temple made from Pentelic marble and it's considered one of the legendary pieces of Greek architecture. It used to be a sanctuary devoted to Athena Polias, Erechtheus, and Poseidon. At present, visitors can visit the shrine to Athena after going through the eastern portico. The northern portico leads to the western cella and the Porch of the Caryatids can be found through the southern portico. These female figures are the most outstanding feature of the temple. The ones you see at the site are made of plaster. The originals are in the Acropolis Museum except for one that was taken by Lord Elgin to the British Museum.
Built-in Ionic architectural style, it is divided into two cellars, one dedicated to Poseidon and the other to Athena.
Temple of Athena Nike
Located in the SW edge of the Acropolis, the small and exquisitely proportioned Temple of Athena Nike will immediately catch your attention. It was designed by Kallicrates and built on white Pentelic marble between 427 BC and 424 BC. It's a squarish building with four graceful Ionic columns at either end. The frieze and relief sculptures that you can see are replicas as the original were taken to the Acropolis Museum for preservation.
The Temple of Athena Nike was built in honor of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war. In fact, "Nike" is the Greek word for victory and it is the temple where the Ancient Greeks prayed for a victory against Sparta.
Theater of Dionysus
If you love the theatre, you can't miss visiting the Theater of Dionysus. Located on the southern slopes of the Acropolis Hill, it's devoted to Dionysus, the Greek god of drama. It was the main theater of the Athenians in Classical times and it's believed to have been the first theater in the world. At the time, it could seat up to 17 thousand people.
Though it's now ruined, visitors can still imagine what it looked like when actors performed the tragedies by Sophocles or Aristophanes on the stage. In fact, the ruins are impressive!
Visitors can climb up and sit in the semi-circle of marble seats ringed around the stage. The first seats, now roped for preservation, were limited to high-rank officials, priests, and military men. If you look carefully, you can appreciate some of their names engraved in the stone!
National Archaeology Museum
The National Archaeology Museum is considered one of the greatest museums in the world devoted to antiquities. Housed in a beautiful building in Neoclassical style, it welcomes visitors to an impressively large exhibition space where more than 11000 exhibits are in display.
The vast collection of the museum is organized into several collections: Prehistoric (Neolithic, Cycladic and Mycenaean periods), Sculpture, Vase, and Decorative Objects, Stanathos and Metallurgy.
The treasures make it easy for visitors to appreciate an interesting view of Greek art and history throughout various periods of time from the Neolithic era to the Classical periods. It's a large and impressive museum that will probably take you more than a day to explore it completely but it's possible to see its major highlights and, of course, joining one of its excellent guided tours is always a good idea!
Amongst the most important artifacts exhibited:
The Antikythera Mechanism: Discovered in the early 1900s, this device is considered the first analog computer in the world. What's mindblowing about it is that it dates to the IV century before Christ!
The mask of Agamemnon: A stunning funerary mask made in gold dating back to the XVI BC. Scientists thought it belonged to Agamemnon before being dated even earlier.
The Kore and Kouros statues: Created by Aristion of Paros around 550-540 BC, they are considered one of the most important examples of Archaic art that can be seen today.
Bronze statue of Zeus: It was found in a shipwreck off the island of Euboea. It's a bronze statue dating back to 460 BC. Scholars can't agree whether it's a statue of Zeus or Poseidon.
The Horse and Jockey: It was found in the same shipwreck as the other statue. It's made of bronze and dates back to 140 BC. Its details are stunning: you can see the muscles flexing as the horse moves forward.
Museum of Cycladic Art
Located in the Kolonáki quarter, the Museum of Cycladic Art showcases an impressive permanent collection of more than 3000 objects that belong to ancient Greek art, the ancient art of the Cyclades, and Cypriot art dating from the IV century BC to the VI century AD. The collection is stunning: some of the marble figurines are lifelike in size! The statues feature nude people in an abstract or simple style and are said to have influenced artists of the XX century!
Most of the artifacts and artistic pieces found in the collection are marble pieces. They include plates, bottles, and standards.
The museum is located only three blocks from Syntagma Square and it makes a perfect addition to your visit to the square, especially after you watch the traditional Changing of the Guard that is held there daily. It is considered one of the best museums in Athens.
Explore the Plaka District
The Plaka District is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Athens. Located under the Acropolis, it spreads out to Syntagma Square. It's famous for its ancient, winding, narrow streets, its green leaf canopies, stone walkways, and several cafés. It's a great place to grab something to eat and do some shopping as well.
Odeon of Herodes Atticus
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a Roman-era concert hall raised in 161 AD. It was ordered by Herodes Atticus probably in memory of his wife. It used to have a room made from cedar wood and could seat 5000 people. Over the following 1700 years, the monument faded into the earth until the area was excavated in the late 1840s. The theatre was restored in the 1950s
It was a really impressive building at the time: 32 rows of seats around a semicircular stage. Its three-story exterior was decorated with four vast arches and statues of the muses.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is considered one of the most beautiful open-air theatres in the world and it is now the main venue for the Athens International Art Festival.
The Ancient Agora
In ancient times, the Agora was the marketplace, the center of everyday life. If you head to the north wall of the Acropolis or from the roads from the Areopagus you can have an impressive view of the Agora.
The north gate off Adrianou Street is probably the best place to enter the Agora. One of the most striking features of the Ancient Agora is the Stoa of Attalos. The Stoa of Attalos was originally built by King Attalos II and reconstructed in the 1950s and it may have been the place where Socrates was tried in 399 BC. Another important site in the Agora is the Temple of Hephaestus. It's one of the best-preserved temples from Ancient Greece.

The right auto insurance can save you money!
Auto insurance is a protective feature that everyone needs who owns a car. Auto insurance allows you to have financial coverage in case you are involved in an auto accident; regardless of who is at fault. When shopping for auto insurance keep in mind that rates will vary dramatically for the same driver, depending on which company you ask. The key to savings lies in comparing many auto insurance quotes, to find the insurer that will give you the best rates.
If the auto insurance company you're investigating is sound then it's possible to purchase cheap auto insurance coverage that will give you peace of mind. Most states require you to purchase a minimum amount of auto insurance. In order to even drive your car you need to have at least liability insurance, in other words you have insurance to cover the expenses of the other party if you cause an insurance. If you are at fault in an accident, your liability insurance will pay for the bodily injury and property damage expenses caused to others in the accident, including your legal bills.
There are some insurance companies that offer discounts to those drivers who put fewer than a predetermined number of miles on their cars each year. Considering the high price of gasoline, carpooling and taking public transportation such as buses around town can help you save more than just premium dollars.
You'll find that there are many places to locate cheap auto insurance to not only save you money but to also give you adequate coverage and protection.
Take your time to look around and you'll find that you can save on your auto insurance rates.

With less than 24 hours to go before the annual A-Z blogging challenge begins, I thought I should announce my theme. Once again I'll be blogging film reviews from A-Z. Last year I tried to stick to only recent releases, but this year I think I'll dig into the archives and try to find films I had real reactions to. Films I loved and films I hated. Nothing I was "meh" about.
So are you ready? Let's review films from A -Z....

MP-4 Simplest TTL CPU
MP-4 is simplest CPU that you can build and run your programs, including conditional branches and a few arithmetic logical operations. As you can see in block diagram, MP-4 is an harvard architecture microcontroller.
In this very first version there is only one register (accumulator). General purpose RAM not implemented yet.
This CPU design is very helpful to understand how CPU's work.
You can easily modify it to add RAM, add more registers or add more instructions.
instruction and operand combined in MP-4 bus. This makes possible less hardware and single instruction in single cycle. Most significant 3 bits are for instruction and lower 5 bits for operand.
total 8 instructions and 32 byte of memory awailable with this configuration.
MP-4 is a MIPS class CPU
ALU and Accumulator
74ls181 ALU used for arithmetic and logical operations. 74hc574 used as accumulator.
With this configuration seen in diagram, every results can be stored in accumulator again.
Do not confuse in schematic, it seems there is no direct acces to Acc but its not true
if you arrange 74181's B input to pass data directly out; Data stores in acc directly by passing through 74ls181
74181 may be seen very useful in first look but unfortunately this is not true (its a big mess)
To understand work of this CPU; I recommend setup an 74181 circuit first and play with it a few days. (I did)
74ls181 have two 4 bit inputs, one 4 bit output and 6 control inputs.
this control inputs determines output function.
Clock, Program Counter and Phases
The main philosophy of MP-4 is simplicity so, I used ne555 as clock generator and its working about 1Hz to understand timing. 555 produces clock signal and 74hct4017 decade counter produces phase signals (do not use cd4017 )
In first phase, CPU fetches instruction to microcode and puts data to bus. In second phase, instruction executing and accumulator refreshing with new value.
MP-4 can run reliably up to 8 Mhz
Microcode and Control
MP-4 have low encoded horizontal microcode. This mean, we need tons of control pins.
So, I used two 8 bit eeproms microcode sequencer directly reads instruction from ROM data output and produces necessary control signals.
bit 0 and 5-6-7 of microcode1 not used. also LDA,M and LDM,A instructions not implemented in this published version.
PcLoad/ signal is producing by zero flag and JP, JPZ signals.
Conditional Jump
Conditional jump is one of important part of this system.
Acc output goes to 4 input or gates and generates zero flag. zero signal JP signal and JPZ signal
determines conditional or unconditional jumps.
Complete Circuit
Instruction structure
Im putting here pdf version to view and realise your MP-4 also DSN files for Proteus ISIS design suit
in ISIS you can simulate your own CPU design. simply right click on ROM and put your own hex program to run
But please note that Proteus-isis cannot simulate 74181 properly
MP-4 Circuit schematic in pdf:
Proteus design files:
Instructions and usage
00 : NOP You have only 8 instructions and you waste one of them with "no operation" command !
NOP instruction is very important for upgrade to multicycle CPU. When upper microcode fetching instruction, operand or adress bytes, lower microcode must run NOP command.
We will see this in next version of MP-4E
( E: enchanced, multicycle CPU)
20: LDA,n (2 for command, lower nibble is operand: 20,2f, 2a etc all loads acc with low nibble)
40: ADD,n : adds operand to acc
60: DEC : decrements accumulator operand ignored
80 IN A : gets data from input port to acc
A0: OUT A :puts acc content to out port
for in or out commands you may use 4.th bit as adress decoder to add one more port
then BX command puts data to second out port
C0: JP : unconditional jump to adress n (4 bit adress)
Dn: JP unconditional jump to 5 bit adress
En: JPZ : conditional jump to adress n (4 bit adress): jump if zero
Fn: JPZ : conditional jump to 5 bit adress
Microcode and Test Programs for ROM
I used 28c16's for microcodes and 28c64 for main ROM unfortunately proteus design suit cant recognized so that I published circuit with 2764 eproms here is microcodes and test programs
Please leave a comment. Thank you

On The Wings Of PrayerAquarius
On The Wings Of Prayer
Just close your eyes, open your heart
And pray that your cares and worries should depart.
Surrender your whole being to Great Father/Mother above,
So they can hold you secure in Their love.
Earthly life has become more and more involved.
There are many problems that on our own can't be solved.
Yet, God merely asks us to do our best,
Then the Angels can take over and do the rest.
So, next time you feel discouraged and blue,
Know that one door is always open for you
And that's the one of the house of prayer.
Your Highest Self is waiting for you there.
It's a place that's no further away
Than any quiet spot where you can pray.
Make your whole being a temple when God is there,
So you can place yourself into His/Her loving care.
God is part of us and we are part of God,
That's why every prayer is heard and responded to.
It's just that sometimes the answer has to be: 'No!'
But any burden that's too heavy for us alone to bear,
Can be made lighter on the wings of prayer.

Becoming a Colonial Ambassador
January 9, 2016
Becoming a colonial ambassador at Robert Morris University is a very intense process, only a minimal amount of students are selected to represent RMU as a whole. Last semester about 10-12 students were hired according to Merrit Donoughe, a junior communication major and president of the colonial ambassadors.
"It was intimidating for sure. You need to be able to market yourself from the get go, no excuses. It also really prepared me for job interviews in my career," said Donoughe.
The colonial ambassadors give walking tours at RMU to potential students and their families. They also participate in other on and off campus events to recruit students, office work, move-in day, fundraisers and more.
"They just want to make sure that you're able to articulate yourself,and have confidence in yourself because you deal with a lot of awkward situations," said Quaheem Brown, a junior colonial ambassador who majors in marketing management.
The hiring process starts out with a group interview by Victoria Fleisner, assistant director of admissions, and Cindy Kronk, office assistant in the admissions office, are in charge of the Colonial ambassadors. About 100 applicants are present, and 30-35 applicants are chosen for a two-on-one interview with Fleisner and Kronk.
The number of senior ambassadors graduating, and the number of ambassadors going away for internships, will determine how many students will be hired as the new colonial ambassadors.
"It is kind of hard, I will have to admit, to find every major that has good communication skills," said Fleisner.
During the interview the students are put into scenarios of what they would do if certain questions were asked such as, "What would you do if a dad on tour ask what the party scene was like?" The interviewee then has to say what he or she would do in that type of situation.
"We have to make the questions pretty difficult to answer since we have so many students who want the position," said Fleisner.
Once the students are selected, throughout the school year they prepare for open houses and discovery days. A discovery day is for students who have already been accepted to RMU. The ambassadors also fill out an inquiry card, which is for the incoming freshmen to fill out for when they want to receive more information about RMU.
"More questions, more people," said Brown in reference to the open houses. "I like open house tours because not only do we give a tour, I'm usually on the panel to answer questions that students come up with so that's a lot of fun."
Many current students attending RMU are here because they were given a tour from RMU ambassadors. The students and the ambassadors recognize and acknowledge each other when they are seen.
"I gave this one girl and her family a tour, they asked a lot of questions, and I remember they were from Maryland," said Brown. "I actually helped them move in on 'Move-In Day' too so that was pretty cool. I still see her around, it's more of a hi and bye type thing though because we don't cross paths as much."
"Move- In Day" is the day freshmen move into their dorms with the help of their families, friends, community advisors or "CA's", and of course the colonial ambassadors.
There are around five colonial ambassadors per shift that give tours at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Most tours are done by walking but they also offer golf cart tours for parents or students who are not able to do the walking tour. Not all buildings are included in the tours because the tours are done by majors and are only one hour long, according to Fleisner.
If a student comes to the campus for a tour and is undecided, the ambassadors will give them a tour of every building on campus. The ambassadors are also given a six page tour route for each semester on what to do and what to talk about while giving the tour.

Blackstone Inc.'s $6.3 billion takeover of Australia's Crown Resorts Ltd. edged closer to approval after regulators in two Australian states cleared the U.S. private-equity giant to operate a casino.
Casino regulators in New South Wales and Victoria states had approved the takeover of ASX-listed Crown by Blackstone, Crown said Thursday. It said regulatory approval in Western Australia state was still required.
Blackstone already has real-estate assets in Australia and gambling businesses in other countries. It first offered to buy Crown in 2021 for 11.85 Australian dollars (US$8.52) a share and raised its offer multiple times until Crown accepted a A$13.10 a share cash offer in February 2022.
The NSW Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority and The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission in separate statements on Thursday said Blackstone had agreed to a range of operational changes recommended by inquiries into Crown.
"Our approval comes with stringent conditions which balance delivering stronger controls on the casino and ensuring it continues to be the flagship casino in Australia," Victoria's casino regulator said.
"We will take action should any of these conditions not be met by either Blackstone or Crown," it said.
The opening of Crown's new casino in Sydney in 2020 was delayed after an inquiry in NSW found that the company's bank accounts were used to launder money, and that it improperly worked with so-called junket operators in Asia to bring in gamblers.
A separate inquiry in Victoria found that Crown engaged in illegal and dishonest behavior. The investigating commission said in 2021 that closing the casino in Melbourne's downtown would have negative economic effects and recommended a suite of changes including additional oversight and regular reports to regulators.
Shares in Crown were 1.8% higher at A$12.98.

President Joe Biden promised on the campaign trail that if elected, he would implement a massive federal response to address the coronavirus pandemic, including free testing and an aggressive vaccine rollout. The effort is to start almost immediately Wednesday, as in his first hours in office will include executive orders aimed at protecting the population from COVID-19.
Biden's executive orders call on his government to:
Biden's plans go beyond the orders and represent a shift away from the failed approach of former-president Trump. As he announced his plan Friday in Delaware, Biden said, "This will be one of the most challenging operational efforts ever undertaken by our country. You have my word that we will manage the hell out of this operation."
Biden promised his administration would ensure 100 million Americans are vaccinated in the first 100 days, and he will invest $25 billion in the effort. Here is how Biden plans to deliver the vaccine to the public with no out-of-pocket costs to them:
Additional Biden administration plans aim to address testing, PPE, and resources to help schools, small businesses, families, and marginalized populations. These efforts include:
Finally, the administration also intends to mitigate other potential emerging global health threats by:
Addressing this pandemic as it spreads through the country at a rapid rate will be no small feat, and any pandemic plan will only be as good as its execution. But taking the pandemic seriously, and sending clear signals about the importance of wearing masks and social distancing, is a start. As Biden said when discussing the plan last week, "We didn't get into all of this overnight, we won't get out of it overnight either. But we will get through it."

Pamela Anderson Lee: A Would-Be Casablanca for the '90s, Barb Wire Plays Like Casablank
Bad movies we love.
The past two years have been Bad Movie manna for fans of deliriously cheesy sci-fi thrillers set in the near future, what with Johnny Mnemonic, Strange Days and John Carpenter's Escape From L.A. But the ultimate booby prize in this genre we call "Aschlockalypse Now" goes to Barb Wire.And what boobies!
From the opening Flashdance-esque strip club routine, in which millions of gallons of water are sprayed onto heroine Pamela Anderson Lee's bared casabas, Barb Wire is a perky paean to the wonders of silicone. The unrated video version (which we'd call "the director's cut" if there were any sign there'd been a director), contains miles more footage of Lee's nipples looking as sharp and deadly as her stiletto heels. Speaking of which, when a rowdy heckler calls Lee a "babe," she high-heels the ringsider to death, before snarling, "If one more person calls me 'babe'!" We can only surmise she'd prefer a more accurate nickname--say, "boob"?
As you may have heard, Barb Wire lifts its entire plot from Casablanca. In the Humphrey Bogart role, Lee runs a bar friendly to both villains and freedom fighters in America's last "free city," circa 2017. Since she's a neutral mercenary-for-hire, Lee plays no favorites, and to prove it moonlights as a hooker/hit woman, explaining, "You gotta use everything you've got." Cinched into rib-crushing leather bustiers, Lee is definitely doing just that. But, dependent as the Baywatch vet is on careful lighting, she is frequently sabotaged by the cameraman--with hilarious results. There are moments when she appears to be a Karen Black lookalike trying to pass herself off as Jessica Rabbit.
When corrupt police chief Xander Berkeley turns up to collect blackmail money, cop a feel and down a cognac, Lee demands payment for the booze (the feels are free). "Add it to my tab," he sneers, finishing with the irresistible, inexplicable, presumably future-speak exclamation, "Boom, boom, boom!" Lee puts up with some things, not with others. When a rude drunk snarls, "Blow me!," for example, she calls on her attack dog, Camille, and the faithful pooch bites the boor in his crotch and drags him out of the bar. Boom, boom, boom! And when the Ingrid Bergman character shows up in the guise of one Temuera Morrison, Lee doesn't just mutter, "Of all the gin joints...," she decks him and screeches, "Get out!" Boom, boom, boom!
The clever dialogue doesn't stop here. Evil Colonel Steve Railsback roars at cop Berkeley, "I will personally rip yer heart outta yer ass and stuff it back down yer throat!" Boom, boom, boom! Casablanca fans will have dissolved so completely into helpless tears of laughter by the time Barb's kid brother (Jack Noseworthy) appears, they'll surely agree with his observation, "This must be a post-traumatic stress flashback." Endearingly, Lee maintains her haughty act of narcissistic self-assurance throughout this chaotic trash. To keep us awake, she does things like stroke her naked flesh in a transparent bubble bath. It all ends, as you'd hoped it would, with police chief Berkeley and out-of-the-closet Resistance fighter Lee alone on a rain-drenched airfield. When Berkeley confesses, "I do believe I'm falling in love," the endlessly self-enchanted one snaps, "Get in line!" Barb Wire only begins to tap the Bad Movie Pneumatic Goddess potential of Lee. This girl is a find. She is Pia Zadora come back. But where is the cinematic Svengali who can package her genius? Alas, Lee is Mamie Van Doren without Albert Zugsmith, Jayne Mansfield without Tommy Noonan, Joe Dallesandro without Paul Morrissey. Paging Zalman King!

Although Massachusetts is a small state, there are many options for a rockhound to find interesting minerals, gemstones, or rocks. Dinosaurus bones and other different fossils can be found too. So what are the best rockhounding locations in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, you can find Roxbury puddingstone (the state's official rock) in the area surrounding Boston, and rhodonite in Plainfield. The rare Babingtonite has been found in a basalt quarry in Westfield. Other rocks and minerals such as quartzite, peridotite, granite, and margarite are abundant all over the state.
Now that we know what wonders can be discovered let's pack our backpacks and start rockhounding in Massachusets!
If you are interested in checking out the best rockhounding equipment and tools you can find them by clicking here (Amazon link).
Where to Rockhound in Massachusetts?
The Old Bay State hosts a variety of rocks and minerals all over its territory. Home of some of the rarest rocks, Massachusets is quite an attraction for rockhounds. Let's see some of the essential locations.
Hampshire County
Perhaps the most important location in Hampshire county is Goshen's town, where you can find a variety of colorless beryl named goshenite. Other interesting stones that you can look for around Goshen are quartz, dark blue elbaite tourmaline, and muscovite.
Another cool place to visit in Hampshire county is the town of Cummington. This is the place where, back in 1812, cummingtonite was discovered. Other rocks you can search for around this town are calcite, garnet, chalcopyrite, actinolite, and chlorite.
The only place in Massachusetts where you can find rhodonite, the state's official gemstone, is the town of Plainfield, Hampshire county. You can also find spessartine garnet, magnetite, carbonate, hematite, or chalcopyrite.
Hampden County
Hampden county is one of the few places in the world where you can find Babingtonite, a black or dark green mineral. The best specimens were discovered in a basalt quarry in Westfield. This is the state's mineral since 1971.
The old Chester Emery mines are also located in Hampden county, in the town of Chester. This is where margarite was found, except actinolite, almandine, chalcopyrite, corundum, magnesite, or pyrite.
In Russell, collectors can find one of the most treasured minerals in Massachusetts, the Russell garnet. Rare, good specimens might bring you several thousand dollars, so it is worth searching for them.
TIP: Hampden Country is a place where you can find cool rocks. To find out what are other locations where you can find cool rocks, check out the article below:
What are Cool Rocks & Where to Find Them? Follow These Tips
Berkshire County
Berkshire County is a good location for rockhounds. Apart from the rich deposits of galena, pyrite, quartzite, and crystals such as agates, yellow jasper, almandine garnets, or chalcedony, this county is famous for its marble quarries.
The quarries from Berkshire supplied marble for the Washington Capitol and Philadelphia City Hall. In case you want to visit this location, make sure you check in to the National Bridge State Park where you can see the unique natural bridge of white marble.
Another important geological resource found in Berkshire County is granite. Numerous mines and quarries extract the state's office building and monument stone of the Commonwealth.
After discussing the main locations of interest for rockhounds, let's see what minerals and rocks you can find here and where.
BTW: Do you want to know more about rock and mineral identification? The books listed below are the best ones you can find on the internet (Amazon links):

What Minerals Can you Find in Massachusetts?
Now that we spoke about the best locations to rockhound in Massachusetts, it is time to check what rocks and minerals you can find in this state. First, we will speak about minerals.
The state of Massachusetts is the home of 275 minerals. Babingtonite, one of the rarest specimens, can be found in this state and it was designated the state's official mineral. Apart from this amazing silicate, other minerals are calcite, copper, actinolite, albite, hematite, margarite, pyrite, and many more.
The best locations where you can look for minerals are usually around the mines located in Hampden County, Bristol County, Hampshire County, Worcester County, Franklin County, or Berkshire County.
Check out the below table to see what minerals you can look after and where.

TIP: Cleaning minerals is one of the best options how to make them look prettier. Check out these 5 simple ideas on how to clean your rocks and minerals:
How to Clean Your Rocks and Minerals: 5 Simple Ideas
What Rocks Can You Find in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts is the home of many units of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.
The sedimentary rocks can be found all over the state and include limestone, sandstone, shale, siltstone, or bauxite. Roxbury Puddingstone, the state's rock, is a sedimentary rock discovered in the Boston area.
Economically important, these rocks played an important role in the state's development.
We made a table that includes the most important sedimentary rocks and where you can find them in Massachusetts.
|Sedimentary Rocks
|Bristol County, Duke's County, Essex County
|Essex County, Norfolk County
|Berkshire County, Hampden County, Hampshire County
|Norfolk County, Berkshire County, Bristol County
Another important category includes igneous rocks. Massachusetts is famous for its nice dark grey granite that was used for building some of the most beautiful monuments in the USA. Mined in several locations, granite was made for the building and monument stone of Commonwealth in 1983.
Other important igneous rocks are basalt, batholith, rhyolite, diorite, gabbro, or peridotite. Check the below table to see what igneous rocks can be found and where.
|Igneous Rocks
|Franklin County, Hampden County, Berkshire County
|Suffolk County, Essex County
|Hampden County, Franklin County, Hampshire County
|Worcester County, Franklin County, Hampshire County
Metamorphic rocks are found in Massachusetts and this category includes slate, limestone, mylonite, quartzite, soapstone, and gneiss.
One of the interesting formations is the Shelburne Falls gneiss dome in the eastern Berkshire Hills. The area is a geological attraction and it is a great place to visit.
Check the below table to find out what metamorphic rocks you should look after, and where.
|Metamorphic Rocks
|Franklin County, Worcester County, Berkshire County
|Worcester County, Hampden County
|Worcester County, Berkshire County, Essex County
|Berkshire County, Worcester County, Hampden County
Next, let's look into where you can find garnets in Massachusetts.
TIP: Raw rocks are beautiful but tumbled rocks are even more. Find out what rocks and minerals are good for tumbling in the article below:
What Rocks Are Good For Tumbling? 15 Best Rocks & Minerals
Where to Find Garnets in Massachusetts?
Garnets can be found in several locations within Massachusetts. However, most rockhounds look for a rare and valuable variety of garnet, known as "Russell Garnet". This gemstone was discovered in 1885 in the vicinity of Russell, Hampden county.
Most of the Russell Garnet specimens found are now exhibited in museums. But this does not stop the rockhounds to keep searching for this gemstone.
Another place where you can harvest garnets and many other minerals is the old Anson G. Betts mine in Plainfield, Hampshire county. Here you can dig for spessartine garnets, almandine garnets, or rhodochrosite.
You will have to pay a fee but it is worth every penny. Next, let's look into where we can find garnets in Massachusetts.
Where to Find Rhodonite in Massachusetts?
Rhodonite, Massachusetts' official gemstone, was discovered in Plainfield, Hampshire county. The mineral is usually found in the same places where black manganese minerals are spotted. It can be recognized by its pink or dark rose shades.
Plainfield is the only known location where rhodonite can be found in the state.
Where to Find Arrowheads in Massachusetts?
While rockhounding in Massachusetts you might get an interesting surprise. Some of the rocks you find might turn out to be ancient arrowheads.
Prehistoric Native Americans lived in the area around Cape Cod and not only. They hunted using spears with sharp arrowheads made of different hard rocks. These arrowheads passed the test of time and now you can find them in many places in Massachusetts.
Where to Find Fossils in Massachusetts?
Although in Massachusetts you cannot find dinosaur bones, you can still spot vertebrate footprints captured in the sedimentary rocks. All you have to do is to head towards the Connecticut River valley.
In Dukes County, Martha's Vineyard to be more specific, you can find mollusk shells, shark teeth, and plant fossils.
Where to Find Agates in Massachusetts?
Agates can be found in several locations in Massachusetts. The main counties where agates can be found are Hampshire, Franklin, Berkshire, Norfolk, and Plymouth.
The first place where rockhounds should look for agates is in the lower Deerfield River's gravels. This is a well-known area among rockhounds, so you might have competition.
Another place where agates are abundant is the valley of the Hoosac River in Berkshire county. The pebbles found in the gravels formed by the river might turn up to be chalcedony or agates.
Massachusetts is a great place to visit. The Old Bay State is the home of some rare minerals that would look amazing in any private collection: Roxbury Puddingstone, cummingtonite, babingtonite, or rhodonite.
In case you're not lucky to find one of these specimens, you can still see them in some of the state's interesting museums. So pack your stuff and head towards Massachusetts.

I love this shirt! Just like all the other shirts from the bee abs the fox the material is soft and of great quality, my only complaint would be the sizing. It is very fitted! I'm 5' and 123 lbs and the medium fits snug all over. Recommend sizing up if you want a more classic tee fit!
It runs a little snug so I would err on the side of sizing up, but otherwise love it and have had so many compliments!
Great shirt - great fit!
Love the design and the brand!
Just gifted this to my sister-in-law who just became a mom and she loved it... or atleast that's what she told me ;)

Here's the latest reader question, along with my reply!
Mark asks: A comment to your old article about ethanol prompted me to ask a question: What do we do when 15 percent ethanol is used and our vehicle is only good for 10 percent ethanol? I have a Suzuki Burgman scooter that's only rated for the 10 percent ethanol. Many people out there are driving cars only rated for the 10 percent stuff as well. What do we do? What do those of us using vehicles rated for 10 percent ethanol do when the 15 percent ethanol gas is all that's available?
Furthermore, though I don't think the gov't should mandate the use of ethanol, they do so anyway and won't stop any time soon. That said, if there were going to be any fairness here, any justice, shouldn't they phase it in over a period of years to account for the fact that many of us are driving vehicles rated for only 10 percent ethanol? Don't they realize the harm this will cause people?
My reply: Of course they realize it will cause harm; they don't care – because it serves several purposes of theirs. First, E15 (15 percent ethanol) will accelerate the "retirement" of the "old cars" these people have wanted to get off the roads for a long time. It is a way to do that without formally outlawing them. Instead, just deteriorate them.
Second, E15 is a sop to the powerful ethanol lobby – which controls both wings of the Demopublican Party as tightly as AIPAC. No one gets nominated for national office – or retains it – without bending knee to Big Ag. I have an article on deck about this.
But wait – it gets worse! There is a push for higher-than-E15 as the baseline fuel. This to accommodate the latest very high compression/DI-engined cars (it helps with CAFE compliance, which is why the car manufacturers support it).
The good news is – for now – E10 and even E0 (pure gas, not adulterated with ethanol) ought to be available for some time to come. The problem is it will likely get harder to find it, especially when driving outside your usual area.
The most ironic aspect of this whole mess is that the entire stated premise for the ethanol mandate – reducing dependence on foreign oil – is no longer relevant. America has become the world's leading producer of oil and is on the verge of becoming a net exporter.

Most poker tournament decisions are routine, or at least you would like them to be. In reality, even though math and common sense often indicate you should do a certain "thing" in a hand – usually fold, there is much more to our human nature that complicates such decisions. In fact, we are programmed to reason using every fiber of our being. The skill of tournament poker – especially in its long run value – is to surrender the battle, lose patience and allow other competitors to take the initiative, skill mixing and folding rather than defending your raises and continuation bets.
You will not be controversial if you agree that at least some of the decisions in a hand are routine when compared to playing in a cash game. Hands involving Jacks, Queens, Kings, Aces and even the Ace flush – are routine in a cash game, and becomes almost second nature when playing tournament Vodka138. When these hands are analyzed in the context of a tournament – where chip management is king – and combined with the tournament structure, it becomes more initiation money.
But of course, it is not your duty to guide all of your opponents – especially considering you just might lose hands to them, in which you would likely be named the tournament player of the year! In these hands – you want to ride your opponent, limit your losses and live to fight another day. Let the machines battle: you are only a useful player in situations where you can limit your losses. In other situations – be prepared to go all-in and battle it out with the best hand. This is especially true of the later stages of the tournament. You can't afford to wait and see a flop with a 6s7s and you're in the blinds – it's a bad idea.
Don't be in a hurry. As a general rule of thumb, it's not worth rushing anything in poker tournaments. If it's a large tournament, you want to be at least an expert hand to the final table. That said, in the beginning you want to be an aggressive and hard-working player. If you impose an early schedule on yourself, you're probably safer cutting corners and playing your best hands rather than being Patient Zero for someone else's rake.
There isn't any magic scroll to tournament success. It takes skill, patience, and assertive but sensible decisions for the first level, and then some more deep thinking once you get deeper. The real power of the tournament, after all, is the number of opponents in the field: are you competing against maniacs? Or, selecting tight game against folks who are going to be tough?
In the early stages, poker is really a numbers game. There's no real secret to winning big pots early, other than maybe waiting for that premium starting hand. However, you should not be afraid to take a small pot, especially if you believe you have the outer odds handle. Once you are outside the big blind, and heads up, the blinds have a tendency to gobble up what was, for all intents and purposes, a stray hand.
Remember, if you only play the top ten starting hands, you're going to be at roughly even odds with your opponents. Don't be afraid to call the raise, especially if you're uncertain of the player behind. When you make your move – whether it's to pick up an extremely cheap flop in position or steal a big pot – you should be prepared to pot commit your opponent if necessary to maximize your returns.
The first few orbits of a tournament are relatively easy. Once you have a general feel for the other players, their moves and reactions, you can start to be selective in your starting hands, especially in regard to position. At this stage, you are not really playing your cards, but an estimation of your opponents' cards, using observation and experience to make bold assessments.
As your feel for the opponent game improves, you should be able to classify opponents into, at most, the following groups:
The Fish – Players who rarely play a hand, but when they do they play it aggressively. They are generally weak and not really serious contenders in any tournament. They tend to get exposed to high stakes games too often and are likely to be funded long before they could ever become a serious contender in the world poker tour.
The aspirers – Players who are extremely good poker players, but who have had several reasons to leave the game. Many of them play only tournaments, and they play aggressively in the hopes of winning at the final table to get a shot at a larger purse. You could argue that they are the best players in the world, but unless you can operate the same way, setting traps with slow-playing draws, they are touchdowns waiting to go up by taking dangerous chances in drawn out contests.

The Annual Christmas Party and year-end meeting of The Summer Solstice™ was held at Puzzles Fine Dining and Beer Joint on the evening of Monday, Dec. 11, 2000.
Your outgoing chairman, Gord Grant, hereby presents the minutes of the business portion of the meeting.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Grant at 7 p.m. sharp. Let it be recorded that the meeting came to order sometime close to midnight or shortly thereafter when Brother Mulligoon finally seemed to run out of things to say, or, more accurately, grunt.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Chairman Grant gave a brief and succinct annual financial report that showed he had again done the seemingly impossible, finished the year with a balanced budget. It was agreed by most of the Solsticians™ still a) awake or b) sober that Chairman Grant makes Paul Martin look like a novice.
In any event, the financial report is thus:
Expenditures: $0
Fiscal responsibility is the hallmark of good government, said your treasurer-chairman to a solid and deafening round of boos. As your recording secretary I must also say I think I heard the occasional "sit down you FI" or "who the fuck is he anyway?"
But one can never be sure, can one?
Brother Malanchuk and Brother Smyth, the other two Tenured Solsticians™ at the meeting (Chairman Grant being the third), offered some pithy comments, but they seem to have floated away on the pungent air of Puzzles Fine Dining and Beer Joint.
Neither bought a round, thus continuing a long tradition.
Brother Ed Champagne bought a round, obviously hoping to keep future Solstician parties at his place. I'm not sure it worked, because almost immediately, Brother Randy Hughes, he of Tanglefoots Beer and Botulism Emporium, sprang for a few drinks.
Keep the competition going, lads.
Then TFFN bought a round, then Chairman Grant, then Brother Al, then Brother Mulligoon (more about him later), then Brother Etchells, bought a couple of rounds, then Brother Pierre.
Eds note: Brother Malanchuk was so pissed by this time that he forgot to buy a round and went home with the same $10 he arrived with. Brother Smyth had left already. He didn't want to drink and drive.
Brother Clearyourthroat handed out some Christmas cheer; Brother WOG didn't; Brother Duj faded early talking about plowing --I think he was talking about snow, Brother BobtheCop was strangely quiet.
The Wops, Nino and Willie didn't show. They forgot about the meeting. Nammie seems to have vanished.
Brother Robertson was also a no-show--he probably went along the wrong street (like his fairway play) and got lost. Big Head is under investigation by The Tenured Solsticians Organized Crime Commission™ and he didn't show.
He will be called to a hearing.
Brothers Big Fella and Howie were also not at the meeting. Big Fella called to apologize, Howie didn't. He was therefore assessed a round the next time he is seen in Puzzles.
Now to the big news: Late into the meeting, Brother Mulligoon was named president-elect of the 14th Annual Summer Solstice™.
At first he didn't seem too impressed with his ascension, but he eventually came to see the honor being bestowed upon him and he began to babble.
I'll read his exact words from my notes: "Well. It's like this. I'm saying this from here."
At this point he hesitated as though expecting applause. Instead he received a rousing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
Somewhat nonplussed (I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone so non-plussed) he glared menacingly at his beer and said: "You can't make me president-elect."
Told in no uncertain terms that it had been done and to shut the fuck up, he started all over again.
"If I'm president-elect, I want tenure. Then I want . . ."
It was at this point that he seemed to forget what he wanted, so we sang For He's A Jolly Good Fellow and yelled spillage. Christine, the fine waitress knowing that this meant Ed had lost a bird, promptly brought a round.
Brother Champagne just as promptly put it on Brother Mulligoon's bar tab.
Well done, Ed.
But Mulligoon was not to be silenced. He babbled about something, and I quote: "Blither booble wiskers jonson harvey, gafflebab sooniger plagigent sish. Naothinn woombie sagrocrast sibbent."
He went silent at this point so all assembled believed he had finished speaking in tongues and gave him another rousing chorus of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.
It seems certain that Mulligoon will try to be impeached, but it won't work, he's too feckless.
And speaking of Feckless, Brother Malanchuk retrieved the Feckless Idiot of the Year Award for 2000 and showed Brother Mulligoon that his name was on it.
"Gribble broober samechuk skittle," said Mulligoon, looking a bit self-satisfied, I thought.
Your recording secretary at that point went down memory lane to re-create Mulligoon's rather petulant acceptance speech for the FI Award. Mulligoon sulked. The rest of the Solsticians™ were rather taken by my thespian talents. Some went so far as to suggest I was an FI.
The meeting then disintegrated into a bit of a mess and people complained to Brother Ed that perhaps he might lose business were he to hold a Summer Solstice Annual Christmas (or any other) Party™ in the future.
Brother Mulligoon told them to perform acts of unspeakable bestiality. The meeting adjorned.

What's Included:
Note: Giverny is only open from April 1st, 2023 to November 1st, 2023.
Everybody likes Impressionism, don't they? Kids are particularly attracted to it by its bright colors and scenes of daily life. This full day tour lets you take your whole family to the springs of this internationally renowned art, combining museum visits and the fresh air of the countryside.
At the Orsay and Orangerie museums, then at Monet's gardens in Giverny, live an artistic exploration in a playful mode, with activity booklets committing all-tour-long to your children's participation. What could be more fascinating than admiring great artists' canvasses before walking in their shoes to the places that inspired them?
This day dedicated to colors begins with the Musée d'Orsay discovery. Here is the biggest Impressionist collection in France and one of the vastest in the world. Provided with their personal activity booklet and with the help of their "Mary Poppins" guide, your small art lovers will dive into the 19th century painting and dig the ways of Impressionism- while having fun, of course.
Indeed, the next stop is all about Monet. To get there, you just have to go across the Seine and through the Tuileries gardens. The Orangerie Museum houses lots of Water Lilies murals. It is a place to deeply feel Monet's poetry, as you'll be surrounded by canvasses full of skies, calm waters, and flowers, as if you are already standing in Monet's gardens.
By the way, the plan is to take you there: Giverny. After a quick lunch before leaving Paris, you will head to Monet's true masterpiece: his gardens in Normandy. Along the road, your children will be kept entertained by both activity booklets and by coloring notebooks, and they will arrive in Giverny as true Impressionism experts.
Once there, the afternoon will be dedicated to Giverny gardens exploration: there stands Monet's colorful house. Everything is colored in Monet's universe, from his art to his kitchen! At the foot of the manor, the flower garden is a kind of open-air painter's pallet with its red nasturtiums, its pale pink roses, and its purple irises.
To spot the famous Japanese bridge, your children will have to solve the secret of its access. Here you are on the water lilies pond's shores. This landscape is the direct inspiration of what you've previously seen in the Orangerie museum. Such an adventure to enjoy in the same day: the reality and the masterpiece to which it led. What a wonderful way to experience a life-size journey through art.
And if after this day focused on Impressionism you're looking for more family activities to do in Paris, have a look at our Family Tours page!
No problem. Just mention the composition of your party in our contact form, and our superhero squad will take care of the rest.
As this is a long day, we suggest having a quick lunch in Paris before leaving for Giverny. If you want to eat outside of Paris, we can recommend a few places to you. Just be aware that it will then be a late lunch.
Yes we do! We also have a Versailles & Giverny family tour– sounds exciting right? If you prefer to stay inside Paris and skip Giverny, have a look at our Orsay Crash Course, as it's a good alternative to this Orsay/Orangerie & Giverny – Impressionism Family Tour.

AILA Doc. No. 17021034 | Dated February 10, 2017
AILA has received information that ICE has once again commenced targeted enforcement actions by reinstituting "Operation Cross Check." The operation is focused on three populations:
It also appears that other individuals who are identified in the course of an Operation Crosscheck action against a specific person may also be picked up if they fall within the broader enforcement priorities outlined in the Executive Order. Note that the new priorities are so broad that any undocumented individual could be deemed a priority.
At this point it is unclear how many cities or localities are being targeted though anecdotal reports indicate Los Angeles, Atlanta, Austin, and areas of Kansas may be implicated.
Note: Though enforcement priorities outlined in President Trump's Executive Order on interior enforcement include anyone who was charged with an offense or committed an act that could be a chargeable offense, we understand that the current operation is focused on those who were convicted. However, any conviction (felonies, DUIs, non-violent offenses, etc.) could subject a person to enforcement.
