Item Description...
The best of all homeschooling methods, The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach is based on a variety of teaching approaches. Beginning with the Bible, a Hebraic model of education is employed, where the Bible is not viewed as a secondary subject, but rather as the basis and measure for all else. Charlotte Mason's methodology is also taught, using living books & oral narration, unit studies, notebooking, delight-directed learning, the four-step cycle and more. Rethink your entire model of education with enlightening chapters on the foundations of various worldviews, practical advice on how to implement "Bible-Based Homeschooling", an overview of different ways to learn and more.
Publishers Description
Created for all homeschoolers that want to make the Bible the center of their school day. The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach is a combination of several popular homeschool methods: Hebrew education methods, Charlotte Mason, delight directed, thematic unit studies, lifestyle of learning, learning styles, writing to learn and notebooking. Sampson provides you with the methods, program, and resources for a course of study where students spend half the school day studying God's Word and the other half studying God's world (academics). Students study history chronologically and science in the order of the days of creation. This book will instruct you, step by step, how to give your child a Bible focused, comprehensive education from preschool through high school; one that will train him or her to read, to study, to understand, to love to learn and most importantly to desire and seek true wisdom. This approach can be used for all grade levels. Author Robin Sampson, homeschool mother of eleven is a popular author of a dozen homeschool and Bible study books.

Facebook's Employee Lockup Lifts at Convenient Time
Facebook reported its quarterly earnings last night, and the stock is up more than 20% today as a result.
Basically, investors are more confident in Facebook's ability to build a coherent mobile advertising product and monetize its 600-million-plus users on mobile.
The timing is actually great for employees, because a ton of stock owned by Facebook employees is about to become eligible for sale after the lockup lifts on Monday.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Four games into the Tim Lincecum Experiment, it's not working.
But at least the Angels managed to win this time, overcoming Lincecum's third straight poor outing to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 13-5, on Tuesday night.
C.J. Cron homered twice – his second multi-homer game in four games – and the Angels made the most of their offensive opportunities without Mike Trout, who got his first day off of the season.
Lincecum was charged with five runs on 10 hits in 4-2/3 innings. Lincecum now has a 7.50 ERA with the Angels, certainly not what the Angels had hoped when they signed him in May.
This outing wasn't all bad, though. He struck out six and walked one. Also, it could have been better if a couple plays were made behind him.
In the first inning, Andrelton Simmons made a bad throw, allowing Steven Souza to reach on what was ruled a hit. It would have been the third out.
In the third inning, right fielder Kole Calhoun and center fielder Shane Robinson miscommunicated and let a ball drop between them for a triple.
In the fifth, Corey Dickerson's opposite-field fly ball landed on the left-field line, just out of the reach of Daniel Nava, who had been playing him toward the gap.
The Angels took Lincecum off the hook with a nice offensive game, led by the bottom half of the order.
Johnny Giavotella and Andrelton Simmons, who hit sixth and seventh, respectively, had two and three hits.
Simmons' two-run double put the Angels up, 6-5, in the sixth inning.
The Angels used some small ball to get an insurance run, with Carlos Perez bunting Simmons to third and Robinson getting him home on a safety squeeze.
The Angels held the lead with a switch in the bullpen. Joe Smith, who had struggled lately, was moved to the seventh inning, and Cam Bedrosian pitched the eighth. Huston Street worked the ninth, but the Angels' six-run inning eliminated the save situation.

Simon Sinek Quotes About QualityQuotes about: Quality
Authenticity is about imperfection. And authenticity is a very human quality. To be authentic is to be at peace with your imperfections. The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great leaders are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don't know. The great leaders can't do everything; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don't see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.
Because a true sense of purpose is deeply emotional, it serves as a compass to guide us to act in a way completely consistent with our values and beliefs. Purpose does not need to involve calculations or numbers. Purpose is about the quality of life. Purpose is human, not economic.

Viktor Kahdem is a man who has almost given up on life, sentenced to a low-security prison farm, a completely non-threatening environment where it is still felt that some individuals can be reformed. At Won Wron, Case Worker Matt Perry has established a unique program to rehabilitate broken men through giving them the responsibility for the rehabilitation of injured raptors - beautiful, fearsome proud eagles, falcons and owls. Against all odds, Matt takes on Viktor as his number one test case, introducing him to Yasmine, the majestic wedge tailed eagle with a 2 metre wingspan. If these two can tame each other, anything is possible.

Nvidia GF100 Review – The gaming GPU
The Nvidia GF100 is fast graphics processor. It is the first processor based upon the NVidia fermi architecture. The GF100 processors, however, consume significantly more power and they have a higher TDP rating.
A background on the graphics need for gaming
Modern games are very different from the entertainment games played on computer 15 years ago. Today's computer games are real time and the user rely on the real time display of the moving images and video. The quality of the video is judged by the number of the frames displayed per second. While the CPU still rules in terms of the background processing, eventually, it is what you see, becomes important for the users and the gamers.
The Nvidia GF100 is one of the first graphics processor that support DirectX 11. The GF100 support the tessellation and DirectCompute functions of DirectX. Tessellation of the plane is a collection of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. The GF100 is the successor of the highly successful NVIDIA GT200 graphics processor.
The GT200 processors had powered the highly successful GeForce GTX-280 video graphics card.
With GF100 NVIDIA has strived to improve the architecture to support funtionality to improve the gaming performance. The GF100 is even more powerful than the GT200 processor and the video cards based upon the GF100 are even more powerful.
As compared to the CPUs, the graphics processors have many more processors to achieve higher throughput. The GF100 has 512 processor cores. The AMDs top of the line phenon ii processors, by comparison has just six cores. The large number of the pprocessors and the massive parallelism help the GPU deliver extreme performance level.
The GF100 is the processor behind the top of the line Quadro 6000 Video graphics card.
Some benchmark results are available with the GF100 processor. The benchmarkreviews, for example, report the simulation results with the Physx fluid simulation. A 2x improvement with the GF100 was reported as compared to GT200. For example, while the GT200 gave 67 frames per second, the GF100 reported 141 frames per secons.
According to NVIDIA there is 2x to 3x improvement in the compute performance with GF100 as compared to the previous generation FT200.
The GF100 has a total 384 bit GDDR5 memory controller. Actually GF100 has has six 64 bits memory controller and we get 384 bit wide memory controller by the simple math 64×6 = 384 bits.
However, you will expect different video cards using full or part of the 384 bit wide lane, and they will also have different pricing structure.

This article throws light upon the seven main steps to be followed for selecting candidates. The steps are: 1. Receiving and Screening the Application 2. Sending the Application Blanks 3. Testing 4. Interviewing 5. Checking References and Letters of Recommendation 6. Medical Examination 7. Placement.
Step # 1. Receiving and Screening the Applications:
This is the first step in the selection procedure. The personnel department requisitions the number of vacancies in each department and thereafter invites applications from the candidates. The invitation may be through advertisements in the newspapers, notifications at the factory gates, recommendations from existing employees and employment exchanges.
Applications are properly screened and the applications of the candidates, not suitable for recruitment, are rejected.
Step # 2. Sending the Application Blanks:
In the second step, the list of suitable candidates is made ready and the application blanks are sent to the applicants whose names are there in the list. The form of such application blanks differs according to the nature of the job and specifications required for it.
The object of the form is to elicit information about the candidates and to serve that purpose in a fruitful manner, the form should be printed. So, there cannot be any standard form. Slight deviation of this procedure is noticed in some firms, where candidates are called for interview and before the actual interview, a form is distributed to be filled in by the candidate present.
While interviewing the candidates, the interviewers give stress on the information given in the form and select the candidates on the strength of this information as well as on the performance at the interview. The application blanks may, therefore, serve as an effective preliminary screening device.
Step # 3. Testing:
Another step involved in the process of selection is 'testing' the candidate. Human behaviour can best be forecast by sampling it, so there is the need for testing because it creates a situation in which the applicant reacts and reactions are regarded as useful samples of his behaviour. There are different types of tests — Achievement test, Trade test, Intelligence test, Interest test, Personality test, Aptitude test etc.
Achievement test is helpful in measuring the level of knowledge of the recruits. This is a test to know the standing of the candidate in his school, college and university. A candidate's educational background has much to do in his employment in a responsible position.
Trade test is necessary for recruitment to technical posts or posts where special knowledge is required, for example, in the case of recruitment of a typist, his typing acumen should be tested and this is trade test. In specialized jobs, therefore, it is essential that such a test is held.
Intelligence test is aimed at the assessment of mental alertness, level of intelligence, adaptability etc. of candidates. Interest test is undertaken to ascertain the particular line in which the candidate has special interest or it is seen whether the candidate has interest in the matter which he will be required to handle.
Personality test is meant for ascertaining the dominant qualities of the applicant as a whole — the combination of aptitudes, interests, temperament etc. The test helps in judging the emotional as well as physical balance in the applicant. Such an assessment, however, is subjective, complex as well as difficult. Aptitude test is to explore inborn tendencies. It implies determining the potential ability and capacity of the applicants.
Besides the tests mentioned above, some organisations have their own "tailor-made" tests to suit their individual requirements. This is suitable when a large number of new employees have to be recruited for a single job. These tests go through seven steps. Some organisations use tests which are standardised.
Step # 4. Interviewing:
Selection through, personal interview is still regarded as the best device. A personal interview enables the interviewer to assess the physical as well as mental alertness of the candidate. Interviewing— through interactions between the interviewer and the interviewee— makes it possible to know the overall personality of the candidate for the recruitment of personnel in the supervisory position.
Generally a board or panel is formed and a group of experts examine the candidate. Interviews are of many kinds — formal, patterned, non-directive, depth stress and group interviews, whatever the kind be, interview is the most suitable device to select the right personnel for an organisation.
While discussing interviewing as a step in the process of selection, we should not overlook the Character Analysis method of selection. Evaluation of a candidate on the basis of his external features is character analysis.
This is undoubtedly unreliable but consciously or unconsciously the interviewers are practicing it. "The most persistent form of character analysis, however, involves the inference of a wide range of personal traits from physical features".
The graphology or the interpretation of handwriting is still depended upon as a measure of evaluation of one's quality. Similarly, phrenology or inference from the shape of a person's skull is also resorted to. This sort of interviewing through character analysis should be discarded because human character and personality are too complex to be judged simply by external features.
Step # 5. Checking References and Letters of Recommendation:
References and letters of recommendation are also used as a selection tool of candidates. But referees usually do not mention any drawback in their comments about a candidate nor does any letter of recommendation give unbiased judgment about a candidate. So, as a matter of fact, it is only to know the qualities of the candidate that reference is made or the letter of recommendation is wanted.
Step # 6. Medical Examination:
Physical or medical examination is the penultimate step in the selection process. Medical check-up is undertaken and if the report goes in favour of the candidate, he is appointed. The physical and medical examinations are necessary but it is to be kept in mind that if a candidate found otherwise suitable is not appointed because of adverse medical report, he should be given a job suitable to his health and physical capabilities.
Step # 7. Placement:
Placement is 'the assignment of employees to jobs for which they appear qualified on the basis of the selection techniques' (F. A. Draw). But before placement, employees are inducted, i.e. .introduced and oriented to the firm, their departments and their jobs.
Simply stated, employees are given the opportunity to know their firm — its policies, procedures, organization and the like and also their immediate superiors and colleagues.
After induction comes placement, i.e., putting the right man to the right job. Placement generally does not raise any problem for a single employee but when a group of persons are meant for a number of vacancies, the problems as to which job will suit who arises. It needs experience on the part of the management to resolve their problem of placement.
Placement is not a short-term process only. The question of placement rises even after years of recruitment when there is any promotion or transfer. So, placement is both a short-term and long-term process. Proper placement of an employee has much bearing on the efficient working of an organization.
An employee, not temperamentally adapted to the job, cannot be expected to give the best in him. Here lies the importance of placement. An employee who finds comfort in the job in which he is employed, i.e., where he finds job satisfaction, can be said to have been rightly placed.

A social stay in the heart of Chicago's Wicker Park
I've been eagerly watching the restoration on my neighborhood's landmark Northwest Tower for four years. So when two boutique hotel properties announced their opening in the space, I jumped at the opportunity to preview them for Chicagoist.
Read: Inside Wicker Park's New Boutique Hotel & Social Media-Minded Hostel
The Robey and The Hollander anchor the lively intersection of Milwaukee, North, and Damen avenues with design-minded spaces for hotel guests and locals alike. Located steps from the Blue Line Damen stop, it's an ideal destination for those looking to immerse themselves in Chicago's neighborhoods outside of downtown.
The Hollander offers an upscale hostel experience with a social emphasis. The five-story building was constructed in 1905 and served as the Hollander Fireproof Warehouse. The former storage space has been outfitted with 12 private rooms (from $125) and eight shared rooms (from $45).
The guest rooms play up the building's industrial past with concrete walls, exposed ducts, and minimal steel and wood furnishings. Rooms include bunk beds, en-suite bathrooms, Televisions, and refrigerators are included in private rooms. The property's thoughtful approach to budget-conscious travel is a considerable upgrade from the hostels I've frequented in my travels.
The Hollander is being billed as the first "social stay" in hospitality. Guests are invited to share their Instagram account with others who will be staying at the hostel when they do and then connect during their stay. The Hollander aims to create a community via social media where the digitally-connected travelers can meet and share their adventures during their visit.
The Hollander's lobby encourages engagement for hostel guests and locals. Guests can socialize at the Metric Coffee bar while waiting for their laundry and bike repair or rental at Banker Supply Co. A communal oak table and wraparound benches provide cozy places to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi.
Adjacent to the Hollander, the Robey provides an elegant hotel stay with thoughtful design. Read more about the Robey here.
The Hollander and the Robey are poised to bring an innovative take on adaptive reuse to Wicker Park and Chicago's hospitality landscape. As Grupo Habita managing partner Carlos Couturier told me, "The Robey is the past meets the future. The Hollander is the present meets the future."
Link your Instagram account while booking to find other guests with similar interests and coordinate your stay.

Van Hollen's Plea: 'No Circular Firing Squads'
The Democrats' top official in charge of winning House campaigns issued an appeal Wednesday to liberal activists threatening to recruit primary challengers to defeat incumbents who vote against the health care bill.
"We urge all our allies and supporters and friends not to form circular firing squads," Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said in an interview.
Van Hollen cited the pressure being placed Rep. Mike McMahon (D., N.Y.) coming from labor unions demanding a "yes" vote on the health bill. The Service Employees International Union, allied with the White House, ran an ad Wednesday in a local paper, and the union's president, Andrew Stern was quoted in this Wall Street Journal piece that if the measure loses, "those politicians who failed to keep the promises they made to people who work are going to find those voters looking for candidates who will actually represent them." …

FAQ - Are tents allowed on the beach?
- Details
- Written by Darlene Watters
- Category: Tourist FAQ's
- Created: 19 February 2016
- Hits: 2014
Overnight camping is not allowed.
You are allowed to use a tent to block out the sun and many people do set up small tents for that purpose but setting up a tent to avoid too much sun, or to catch a daytime nap is very different than overnight camping.
There are several campgrounds in the area which allow tents. Check the Tourist Directory >Campgrounds page from the top menu to search for a campground. You can narrow down campgrounds that are tent friendly by adjusting the search filter.

Top 3 Innovative Ways, Your Competitors are Engaging With Your Customers
For small businesses to succeed in today's marketplace, they must set themselves apart. As opposed to large, corporate companies, the advantage of a small business is that you can provide personal customer service to your clients. Yet, as you continue to grow, you may wonder how to provide the most efficient and cost-effective customer interaction at the same high quality. Luckily, with advances in technology, there are new ways to cut through the noise and engage with your clients in new and innovative ways. Here are just three tactics you might explore for your small business.
Mobile Technology
Make customer service easy for your clients by reaching them on a device that they are almost ever without – their cellphones. As a small business, you may your start mobile technology customer service with a text message campaign. This involves allowing your customers to message you their questions about your products or services.
You can also text out special deals and coupon codes. If you are a growing company and want to take your mobile services up a notch, you may consider creating an app for your business. An app allows the customer to learn about your products in an interactive way, ask questions, and make in-app purchases. It also allows you to send customers push notifications with sales, promotions, or information straight to your customers' smartphones and tablets.
Social Media
Because social media is a platform that most customers are familiar with, providing customer service services through these channels is highly effective. Start by creating a Twitter account exclusively for customer service questions. You will also need to make sure that you have a social media or customer service associate who can take questions coming in from these platforms. If you have someone who can only respond during certain hours, specify that on your account. Overall, this level of accessibility will give your company more credibility in the eyes of a customer.
Live Chats
Finally, if you aren't quite ready to go outside of your website yet, another very effective customer service technique is to incorporate a live chat function on your home page. With live chat services, you are able to provide instant feedback to your customers directly from your website. You can answer questions about products or help them place an order in a way that is more convenient and cost effective for both you and the customer
quicker than e-mail.
Like social media-based customer service, you will need someone on staff who can be at the other end of the chat. Luckily, companies like Solid Cactus Call Center offer managed services to do just that. With this type of service, you essentially outsource your chat-based customer service to professionals at a company who become familiar with your product and brand. This type of innovative customer interaction tactic ensures that your customers feel like a part of your brand family.
With modern technology, there are many great ways to engage with your clients and provide outstanding customer service. You can integrate one or all of these methods, depending on what works best for your growing business.

West Bloomfield, MI (PressExposure) May 21, 2011 -- Lori Purdy Faitel was in a devastating automobile accident in 1986 when a truck on the interstate dropped a bail of hay which landed on her windshield causing her to spin out of control and crash into a construction area. The jaws of life were used to get Lori out of the car. Twice, on the way to the hospital, she was registered legally dead. When she was admitted to the hospital, she was diagnosed with a closed-head injury; Lori was in a coma for 7 days as her body continued the fight to survive.
Lori's book, "Am I Brain Damaged?" is a compilation of writings she did while healing from the injury, beginning when her brain was that of an infant, but her body was that of a 25 year old woman. Able to write, but not speak or walk, Lori kept memoirs of her recovery from her injury, which she has been writing, off and on, for over 20 years.
In a recent interview, Lori said, "In reading my updated memoirs I hope to enlighten everyone to the internal trials and confusion of one particular head-injured person, me, Lori Ann Purdy-Faitel." Lori understands every head injury is different as are the levels of recuperation. Lori feels truly blessed to have mainstreamed back into normal life. Her goal in publishing this book is to increase the awareness of care givers and anyone involved with someone who suffers from a serious head injury. Lori encourages her head-injured colleagues to find their own level of comfort and to live the best life they can.
The new updated edition of her book is available both in digital format and paperback. Paperback copies can be ordered online or get an instant download delivered to email. Visit http://amibraindamaged.com/ to learn more.
Better yet, meet the modern-day miracle in person and get a signed copy of her latest edition, beautifully written and illustrated.
Lori will be speaking to the Small Business Network Group on June 2nd, from 6-9pm at Wayne County Community College Eastern Campus in the Cooper Room, located at 5901 Conner St; Detroit, MI 48213. Visit [http://www.megaeveningevent.com] for details on all upcoming events.

Shanghai Disneyland Begins ConstructionApr 10th, 2011 | By Sue Gonzales | Category: Travel
The Shanghai Disney Resort finally broke ground Friday following Chinese government approval, after over half a decade of delays and rumors. The Walt Disney Company and Shanghai Shendi Group are teaming up to build the first Disney resort in mainland China.
The groundbreaking ceremony honored Chinese people and culture with traditional Chinese drum music, a Mandarin female singer, a Shanghai children's choir, and Mickey Mouse dressed in traditional Chinese clothing. Shanghai Party Secretary Yu Zhengsheng and Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng joined Disney executives to officially break ground.
"Today marks a significant milestone in the history of The Walt Disney Company," said Disney President and CEO Robert Iger. "Our Shanghai resort will be a world-class family vacation destination that combines classic Disney characters and storytelling with the uniqueness and beauty of China. Working with our Chinese partners, the Shanghai Disney Resort will be both authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese."
The Shanghai Disney Resort will be located in Pudong, Shanghai. It will cover 3.9 square kilometers, with additional space available for future expansion.
Initially the resort will house Shanghai Disneyland, modeled on the Magic Kingdom in Florida. Also included will be a lake, recreational and entertainment facilities, two themed hotels, shopping and dining venues, and associated parking and transportation.
It is expected that eventually the resort will expand to include two additional parks modeled on Epcot and Animal Kingdom.
Shanghai Disney Resort will be the sixth Disney resort in the world and the third largest in Asia, after Tokyo and Hong Kong. Shanghai Disneyland will be two to three times the size of Hong Kong Disneyland and will feature the largest castle among all Disneylands. It will blend classic Disney characters with Chinese culture. It will emphasize the themes of sustainability and nature, highlighted by a green space at the center of the park.
The project is being launched with an initial investment of 29.0 billion yuan, equivalent to $4.4 billion, with $3.7 billion going towards the theme park and $0.7 billion going towards the supporting infrastructure. Disney will hold 43% of the shares of the owner companies and Shanghai Shendi Group will hold the remaining 57%. Disney will own 70% of a joint venture management company, with Shendi holding 30%. No land-use or intellectual property rights are being used as stakes in the project.
The Shanghai Disney Resort is expected to bring Shanghai an annual revenue of 18 billion yuan, or $2.75 billion. Over 100 economic sectors will benefit, especially tourism, commerce and trade, culture, and shipping and logistics.
The resort is scheduled to open in approximately five years.

A shotgun is a long-barrelled metal weapon that shoots out shot, or a lot of small metal bullets, when the trigger is pulled. It is designed to be fired from the shoulder, and the shot is stored in a solid projectile or slug, which disintegrates, setting the shot free to do its damage.
A .22 rifle, although also featuring a long barrel, shoots out a single bullet, and allows for a more direct aim and shot. It is also designed to be fired from the shoulder, but its barrel has a pattern of grooves cut into the barrel walls. The grooves contribute to angular momentum, which improves accuracy and range.

THE OBSERVER: Manchester United hit four goals for the first time since September to bounce back from their midweek Champions League exit and move to within two points of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Also: Andy Farrell has said the first job on England's interim coaching team will be to put the smile back on the faces of the players, and put the emphasis on getting the culture right rather than make winning a priority.

Also: Manchester United's season may have been holed below the waterline in Basle, but at least for the moment it remains upright.

A car bomb has left at least 14 people dead in the southern Afghan city Lashkar Gah as the Taliban launched a large-scale attack. Officials say the Taliban now control as much as 85 percent of the opium-rich region.
An attack carried out by Taliban insurgents killed 14 people, including, in the Helmand provincial capital Lashkar Gah, officials said on Monday.
"The enemy attacked to breach the security belt in Lashkar Gah this morning, but the attack was repelled by Afghan security forces," said interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi told reporters.
The suicide car bomb killed four civilians, the police chief of the Nad Ali district, Haji Marjan, told the Associate Press. Another ten officers died in the blast, including Marjan's brother, he said.
Marjan said that the death toll is expected to rise as it was unclear how many people remain unaccounted for after the explosion. The car bomb wounded at least 15 people, one of whom suffered gunshot wounds, a doctor at the city's emergency hospital told AP on condition of anonymity.
Helmand is strategically important for the Taliban as the country's main source of opium output - worth an estimated $4 billion (3.59 billion euro) - which helps fund the insurgency.
Monday's attack is the Taliban's latest attempt to capture Lashkar Gah after the insurgents expanded their foothold across the southern province.
Provincial officials have said the Taliban are in control of 85 percent of Helmand province. One year ago, the government controlled 80 percent of the territory.
In addition to Lashkar Gah, the militants have attempted seize other provincial capitals in recent days, including Kunduz and Baghlan in the north, and Farah in the west. Afghan forces have managed so far to repel the attacks.
The Taliban have waged an insurgency against Afghanistan's western-backed government since being toppled by a US-led invasion in 2001. The campaign has become the US' longest military intervention since Vietnam.

15 years ago, the US launched what would turn out to be its longest war. DW talks to former CIA station chief in Islamabad, who was deeply involved in the campaign that ousted the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. (06.10.2016)
Afghan forces supported by US air power continue to push back Taliban insurgents from the northern city of Kunduz. Clearance operations have begun, but water, food and electricity are in short supply for residents. (05.10.2016)

Hello chums!
It's only taken like a month or more to edit these few clips but I really wanted to do it so I could look back on them in years to come. If I leave them as clips on my computer they'll never see the light of day again!
I didn't film this to review the hotel, i just filmed when I felt like it. To be honest I spent most of the time with a prosecco in hand so didn't film much but I hope you enjoy and get a little taste of our holiday in Crete – it was amazing xx

Graduation time. When today's youth begin their
birth-assured death march toward tomorrow's uncertain life. They walk across the stage, diploma in hand, head held high, a smile on their face, ready to tackle the future.
If they're graduating from high school, their life is just beginning; they're nervous about leaving home, about the strange "adult" nature of college. Almost everything that they thought was important isn't any longer. (And never really was.)
If they're leaving college, they're likely thinking about crippling debt, a perpetually awful job market, and what story they can invent for their friends that doesn't end with them living in their parents' basement, waiting tables and self-medicating at night with discounted wine.
If they're graduating anything below high school, fuck that. That's not a real graduation.
In any case, you're in the terrible position of being a friend or family member of one of these shits. It's your job to not only pat them on the back and give them a hearty "THAT'A WAY, SPORT!" but also give them something. Usually cash, usually in a card that you picked out at Price Chopper because it was $0.99.
But Jesus, don't we give enough?
Late May graduations are already sandwiched between the commercial horrors of Mother's and Father's Day, and you're trying to save some extra cash so you can take your OWN cross-eyed, piss-pants kids to Nashville for the summer to remind them that hey, we're a real family goddamnit, and we do real things like visit "exotic" Chili's in strange cities.
So I'm here to help you get off cheap. One needn't drop $50 to show your nephew that he's a REAAAAL important person for getting through high school without severing his dick in shop class. There are all kinds of things that you can get on Craigslist—for free—that will make any hopeless child feel special.
Let's explore.
"Funai brand combo TV/VHS player. The VHS player started eating tapes."
This is especially good for the recent college grads. They're in the aforementioned basement. Their access to things like "reasonably sized televisions" and "ways to view pornography" are probably limited. Enter the FUNAI BRAND COMBO TV. It's got it all: a screen. Portability. The ability to play the copy of Naughty Nightshift Nurses that you pilfered from your father. (Warning: VHS player may eat your father's tape.) I'd jump on this one. Seems like it'll be snapped up pretty quickly, and I completely understand why.
Empty animal feed bags (kansas city mo)
"Bunch of empty bags"
Look, I'm going to be honest. I have NO fucking idea who would like this gift. Maybe your grad just finished with a degree in Comparative North American Folk Art? (If so, my SINCEREST condolences.) Maybe if so, they can turn all of these… animal food bags… into some sort of sculpture about the meaning of domestication and subservience? Oh, Jesus. Seriously.
To be honest, I just wanted to post this. Because it's a bunch'o empty Kibbles and Purina bags, and the description is so startlingly straight-forward and succinct that it made me laugh.
No Shit. Craigslist, ladies and gentlemen.
"2 large recliners. Work fine. Need to be cleaned. If this is posted, they are still available. 1585 Orchard ct. Liberty."
After a long, hard day of walking applications up and down the street to various fast food establishments, your recent Chicano Studies Major is going to need some relaxation. And what better way to relax than on a recliner that someone has already apparently shit all over. Seriously. Look at that photo. What in the hell happened? That picture seriously makes me gag a little bit.
Please don't give these to a college graduate unless you hate them.
A Lot of scrap wood (Overland Park, KS)
"I recently torn down a tool shed that I had in my backyard. I have a lot of scrap wood that someone can use. If you are interested, shoot me a message and I can tell you where to pick it up. Thanks!"
Couple of things here.
1) Ideal gift for someone you're gently trying to remove from the nest after the dorm has already done its part. Convince them that building their own home is "where it's at!" Give them free scrap wood and some poisoned recliners and send them on their way.
2) I like how the original poster "torn down a tool shed," but then exhibits proper comma usage in the third sentence. So very confusing.
Boy Scout charity meatloaf dinner (Independence)
"Help support the Boy Scouts by attending our meatloaf dinner Sunday the 26th from 11am to 4pm.Location: Community of Christ church between Phelps and Lees Summit Rd. Tickets are $5 at the door. Come on out and help support a great youth organization!"
I flagged this for misclassification. THIS ISN'T A FREE, STAINED COUCH OR SOME USED COLORING BOOKS, ASSHOLE.
"Free rock to any one that contacts me first. This is an all or nothing deal. Call/Text 913-744-5114"
Well fuck right off then, friend. I see three, MAYBE four rocks I'd want in there, but I'll be goddamned if I'm taking your whole shitty rock pile. Tell ME what to do, why don't you.
Box of fortune cookies (Blue springs)
"Box of individually wrapped fortune cookies. On the porch at 309 SW Elmwood dr blue springs."
This is worse than giving someone a lottery ticket, right? I mean, fortune cookies are the absolute worst. But I guess you could pen some note in the card that said something about "May all of the world's fortunes be yours in your new journey," or some stupid bullshit like that. You're a real poet, Uncle Steve. Congrats on getting off cheaply AND looking thoughtful.
PS: your nephew hates you, Steve.
Baby / Children Hangers (Olathe)
"I have a big box of baby / kid / children hangers for free. The kind you get when you purchase clothes in the store. I am located near K7 and Sante Fe in West Olathe. Thanks"
For to kill the kids? What? I guess this is good if your recent grad likes to hang children. If you go pick these up, I'm calling the cops on you, btw.
Balloons and Banner! (Raymore)
"Anyone want a bunch of black and gold already blown up balloons? Left over from party. Not helium. Also have "Happy Graduation" banner in black and gold Ray-pec colors. Email me if interested."
Um, Jesus Christ—how PERFECT is this?? I mean, maybe it's not a good gift FOR a graduate, but how TOPICAL is this one?? Provided you know someone who graduated from Ray-Pec. In which case, I'm sorry.
"I have two NEW Not Opened baby wipes. There are 100 wipes in each pack. They gave my baby a rash/irritated her skin, BUT all baby's are different I was going to throw them away but times are tough and I figured some one could be in need of them… FREE!! U pick up! Email please(: "
This is the one you do when the recent grad in question is also a teen mom. (LOL—I know, I know… like THAT ever happens.)
A) It's practical, and B) it reminds her that—no matter what happens—NOTHING is about her anymore, and she should never, EVER forget that. Way to ruin your life, whore.
"Free Desk for anyone who wants it. Nice and sturdy, good workspace. Going to dump on Sunday."
I love this. This is perfect for the HS grad's dorm room, OR something the recent college grad can sit at when doing taxes/writing novels/filling out Taco Bell applications.
Actually, it's a really decent looking desk, which is how I know the drawers MUST be filled with severed human heads and piles of human shit. Go pick it up and see if I'm not right.
Well, there you go. 11 things (FOR FREE!) on Craigslist that will make you the hit of any young graduate's gift-getting. As per usual, you're welcome in advance.

Movie Review: DIL DHADAKNE DO (2015)
'Dil Dhadakne Do' is the best Bollywood movie in recent times that deals with family dynamics, without having to portray the characters as cartoonish caricatures. The film relies on the incredible performances of its leading cast and tells a story that is realistically endearing at times and comical at others. Read on for my almost perfect Movie Review of 'Dil Dhadakne Do'.
The dysfunctional family comedy is a Bollywood trope that has been exhausted in the industry. The characters are almost always portrayed as being 1 dimensional sterotypes with comical characteristics. Family dramas are no better as they demonize everyday people as conniving villains in order to provide an antagonist for the purposes of creating a conflict. While 'Dil Dhadakne Do' has a premise almost like that, it's able to keep things very grounded with a sense of realism that is absent in most commercial Bollywood cinema.
The story never loses focus from it's core group of characters, an affluent nuclear family with deep seated issues formed over years of seflishness, neglect and a lack of communication. The story follows the business woes of the head of the family Kamal, played wonderfully by veteran actor Anil Kapoor who, despite his decades in the industry, is still able to surprise the audience with a powerfully arrogant portrayal. Kamal's financial problems are nothing compared to his marital ones, something the couple ignores for the sake of keeping up appearances for their elite social circle. While the matriarch of the family, Neelam, played gracefully by Shefali Shah, tries to hold things together, despite severe self esteem issues and a possible eating disorder. The depiction of a marriage long past its breaking point is done superbly by the two actors, but even better written by writer / director Zoya Akhtar & writer Reema Kagti.
'Dil Dhadakne Do' is writer/director Zoya Akthar's third directorial following the success of 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' (read my Review here) where she was praised for creating realistically believable relationships between the characters, and building on them with conflicts that provided great emotional story arcs. She pulls off the same here with a drama that works on multiple levels despite dabbling in a genre that's quite common for a Bollywood movie.
While every performance is uniquely amazing, Anil Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra stand out among them all. Kapoor gives a brutally hard portrayal of a horrible father treating his children like assets and his wife as a business partner. Kapoor shines in the 3rd act when his set-in-his-ways Kamal has to face how he's treated his family and is absolutely crushed by the error of his ways. The issues of the parents spill into the children, as eldest daughter Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) attempts to come to grips with her loveless marriage, and son Kabir (Ranveer Singh) tries to find his place in the world, while having his father always berating his ineptitude of ever being capable to take over the family business. The conflicts between each member of the family is as hilarious as it is heartbreaking. The film is properly able to portray the awkwardness of heated words exchanged during family arguments, and the comedy of experiencing the situation from the outside, as the audience does.
Chopra is just stunning as an independent woman bogged down by traditional Daddy issues while contemplating divorce. Despite the characters' liberal attitudes and influential lifestyle, the idea of divorce is shown as being an turning point in one's life and not as a melodramatic plot device. The movie treats Chopra's storyline as significantly as, if not more so, than the others'. What makes her story stand out as well is the complete lack of demonization of Ayesha's husband, played by Rahul Bose. The relationship is never shown to be strained or overtly terrible, despite their issues, but mostly an internal conflict for the character herself. Ranveer Singh puts in a performance that is probably one of the most restraint of his career. Having no funky facial hair or crazy hairstyle to add to his performance, Kabir's self doubt and self realization is all Singh and he does it with slightly less flair than usual, but still good.
Along with Zoya Akthar, 'Dil Dhadakne Do' has been co-written by Reema Kagti, an impressive director in her own light with the thriller 'Talaash' to her name. (My Review here) Together, both writers are able to pen a story that never diverts away into becoming a love story, or convoluted side character ridden mess. The movie centers its focus on the 4 main characters, despite the inclusion of pretty decent performances by Farhan Akhter as Ayesha's long lost love, and Anushka Sharma as Kabir's new found love. Not that the film isn't devoid of sub plots. There are very minute nods to Kamal's mistreatment of his younger brother, a subplot between two other characters' rivalry due to Shakespearean-style family drama and a third love story amidst it all, all of which are resolved by the end of the movie. While the ending is a little rushed and devolves into a mad-cap frantic dash to resolution, it can be excused given that an emotionally grandiose gesture by the characters is necessary to overcompensate for their mistreatment of others for years.
A lot of 'Dil Dhadakne Do's back story between the characters happens off screen through references and alussions instead of flashbacks, like Kamal's extra marital actives and the past relationship between Ayesha & Farhan Akthar's Sunny, which fleshes out the lives of these characters so much more, while still keeping the entire setting of the film restricted to the confines of a cruise ship. The back stories are so rich that it makes one even want a prequel to see the conventional ways that those histories developed.
'Dil Dhadakne Do' is an excellent example of a realistic family drama, where the characters lives and problems aren't limited to the 170 minute screen time that the audience is exposed to, but one where the characters are complex and flawed and aren't fully redeemed by the end of the story either. The film is able to take the stereotypical Bollywood family movie cliches and repurpose them in a hyper real manner where the fights aren't full of melodramatically tear jerking one liners, (thanks to the dialogues written by Farhan Akthar) but instead are frustratingly unresolved yelling matches that go nowhere; while entertaining as hell to watch unfold.
For audiences that love Bollywood glitz and escapism from their real problems, 'Dil Dhadakne Do' may not be their kind of movie. But if watching your favourite actors on screen dealing with problems that you can relate to, with family that seems exactly like yours, while getting you to laugh the entire time is something that interests you… then this is a must watch! The film can easily stand up against other quirky Hollywood family dramas such as 'The Family Stone'.

Murphy wants to quit smoking. That bad nicotine won't let go of her so easily, and she goes from shaking the machine in the hallway to just plain feeling horrible after that. The show must go on, however, and Ms. Brown and the rest of the crew try to carry on as normal.
Then a man shows up asking to add a segment to the program. Only it's not an update on proceedings in Congress or a recall of auto parts. It's a threat that if they don't read his statement on the air, he'll use the gun he's carrying.
This is not the way anyone had hoped to grab points in the ratings!
The gang schemes to disarm him through a unique mixture of trickery and desperate pleading. Sanity wins the day, but not before crazy gets to play some hands as well.
A witty and tense episode with good acting and more than a few surprises.

It was a Sunday afternoon. Lawar had just got through playing basketball at the court. He drove to the doctor's in his Cadillac SRX. He had just gotten through eating his cake. His doctor had told his he wasn't supposed to eat cake. So he drove home and started to have stomach problems. He went to the store to buy milk. But as he was buying milk, he noticed that he didn't have his wallet. The he drove back to the doctor's office to see if he left it there. He walked in and noticed that everyone was eating birthday cake, because it was his doctor's birthday.
He walked in and took the cake. Everybody dropped their plates and started chasing after him. He pulled off in an instant, before anybody could catch him. He was minutes away from his mansion, and he noticed his stomach starting to ache. He drove home and his wife has just got through making a birthday cake for him. He looked in the refrigerator and saw that his wife had made him a cake. He looked behind the cake and saw milk, and poured himself some. He got full and started to go to sleep. He woke up in the morning with frosting and dry milk on his lips, and laying on the floor. Then he remembered he forgot his wallet. He yelled out loud, "Oh man!"

Once upon a time in a spooky cobweb filled house, there lived sixteen regular ghosts and one very special color changing ghost named Van Pelt. Van Pelt could change into any color in the rainbow. He would go black to green to red in just one second. You could always tell Van Pelt's mood by what color he was. Green was if he was embarrassed. Red was if he was angry. Yellow was if he was happy, and black was if he was in love. Van Pelt spent his days scaring people who tried to come into his haunted house. "Get out of my mansion!" he would growl and, starting with his toes, he would change color until he was bright red.
Midnight, on April 26th, Van Pelt ran into a very serious problem at his house. He was minding his own business, just playing a great game of Ghostland when, all of a sudden, he heard some loud footsteps trumping up his stairs.
Creeeeeak went the door to his bedroom. "Hello. May I please play your game with you?" someone asked. Van Pelt looked away from his game with a skeptical look and saw in his doorway the biggest, baddest bully in town. It was Jake the Master. He had a bright red mohawk that was seven feet high.
"What do you want?" asked Van Pelt, "And most of all, why aren't you afraid of me?"
"Well," said Jake the Master, "I'm not afraid of you because I just want to be your friend."
"No way!" screamed Van Pelt, and he turned all of his darkest colors at once.
What happens next?! Will Jake and Van Pelt ever be friends? Who would win if they played Ghostland? How can Jake stand up straight with that much hair? Finish the story yourself, and send it to [email protected].

Buddy, the alien from Mars, lived in a haunted house. He liked to collect things, like rocks, and he liked to eat chicken fingers. One of his favorite things to do was to invite friends over for slumber parties. Juju, the Prince from Saturn, was one of his best friends. One weekend, they jumped in their spaceship and went to Las Vegas.
"Let's go swimming, and then we can go to the movies," said Juju.
"Sure," said Buddy. "That sounds like a great idea."
As the spaceship came closer to Las Vegas, they looked down and saw that everyone was being very serious, even though there was a huge carnival in town.
"Wow, this carnival looks like fun," said Juju. "I wonder why everyone is so serious."
Buddy said, "Let's put on our disguises so we can go down and talk to the people without scaring them."
The disguises had spikey yellow hair with gel, gigantic black coats that went all the way down to their feet, sunglasses, and moustaches. Since they each had four arms, it was hard for them to look human, but they tried anyway. As they walked downtown, they saw a scientist who was looking for aliens, but he didn't notice them.
Juju walked up to a serious looking person who just got off the Coconut Coaster, which everyone knows is the most fun ride in the entire carnival.
"What's up?" Juju asked the serious lady.
"They destroyed the Spider Coaster, which was way better than the Coconut Coaster," said the lady.
What happens next?! Who destroyed the Spider Coaster? Will Juju and Buddy be able to fix the Spider Coaster? Why is everyone in Las Vegas so serious? Finish the story yourself, and send it to [email protected].

This is the closest thing to fried chicken that has come out of my oven yet. The pictures aren't great, mostly because there is no sunlight on hand at 9:00 pm (what can I say, sometimes we keep odd hours), but the chicken was really good with a subtle spiciness about it. However you decide to prepare your chicken, this marinade is fantastic. The chicken will only absorb some of the spiciness from the hot sauce, so go ahead and use the whole 3 tablespoons!
Spicy Oven Fried Chicken
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (I used Tobasco)
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 10 chicken legs with skin and bones
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
- 3 tablespoons butter
In a large bowl, whisk together everything from the yogurt to the onions. Submerge the chicken legs and let them marinate in the fridge for 3 hours or overnight, turning chicken occasionally.
Preheat oven to 425 °F and grease a large baking dish.
In another large bowl, combine the panko, Parmesan, flour, thyme, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Using one hand (for less mess), pull out a chicken leg from the yogurt bowl and give it a little shake to get rid of excess drips. Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture and place it in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining legs. Dot each piece of chicken with some butter and bake until the chicken browns and gets crispy, about 50 minutes.

A lot of people don't know it, but Legal Seafoods has an incredible wine program, selected for quality and value by Legal's VP of Beverage Operations (and Master of Wine), Sandy Block, who also happened to be one of my wine instructors at Boston University.
Particularly impressive is the wine cellar at the Legal in Park Square Boston, and we had the opportunity to celebrate our anniversary there on Thursday night.
The Director of Marketing for Legal Seafoods kindly invited us to attend the Bethel Heights wine dinner the restaurant was featuring, and having heard wonderful things about their wine dinners, we immediately accepted.
Bethel Heights is a winery located in the Eola Hills of the Willamette Valley, and winemaker Ben Casteel was on hand to walk us through the wines.
Legal Seafoods pulled out all the stops when it came to the menu. While everyone got seated, we sipped a gorgeous Bethel Heights Pinot Blanc and nibbled on a few snacks.
Hors d' Oeuvres
Lobster Crostini, Preserved Lemon Basil Oil
Mushrooms in Phyllo, Thyme Lemon Zest Butter
Mini Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, Mustard Sauce
(Bethel Heights "Estate" Pinot Blanc, Eola-Amity Hills, 2009)
All three hors d' oeuvres were delicious, but the lobster crostini certainly won me over. The lemon basil flavoring complemented the sweet and tender lobster perfectly. Leave it to Legal to do lobster perfectly.
First Course
Shaved Fennel and Apple Salad
shrimp, stuffed squash blossoms, spicy lemon vinaigrette
(Bethel Heights Pinot Gris, Oregon, 2009)
A perfectly cooked squash blossom was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside, filled with shrimp, atop a crunchy and refreshing salad. With a pronounced acidity and a hint of apple flavor, the wine really complemented both the fried part of the dish and the salad.
Second Course
Maryland Crab Meat and Avocado Bisque
lime zest crème fraîche
(Bethel Heights "Estate Grown" Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills, 2009)
This dish and pairing was absolutely outstanding. The avocado bisque was warm and creamy, great on a summer evening but would also be a huge comfort on a cool fall night. The Chardonnay had a little bit of oak on the nose, but when I tasted it, found it not to be oaky at all. Instead, the wine was bright and lush, balancing perfectly with the lime in the soup. This is definitely a Chardonnay I would drink again and again, and I don't say that often!
Third Course
Hickory-Grilled Wild Sockeye Salmon
black quinoa and mixed wild rice, charred Rainbow chard, hen of the woods cream sauce
(Bethel Heights Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, 2008)
(Bethel Heights "Estate Grown" Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, 2008)
Perfectly, perfectly cooked salmon served on a bed of crunchy pilaf was meaty, flavorful, and flaky. And is there anything more Oregon than Pinot Noir and salmon?
Cheese Course
Wood-Grilled Crostini with Taleggio, Manchego, Morbier
Cherry Compote
(Bethel Heights "Casteel Reserve" Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, 2007)
(Bethel Heights "Southeast Block" Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills 2008)
Again, a perfect pairing, the cherry compote and two Pinot Noirs danced in my mouth and made for a sweet and slightly spiced end to the meal. The finishes on these wines were long and lasting and made me want to return to the Willamette Valley as soon as possible.
I used the word perfect quite a bit in this post, but the evening really was just above and beyond in food, wine, service, and company. We actually got to sit with the winemaker during dinner, a very exciting experience to hear about his background and the wines one-on-one.
I would return to Legal Seafoods for a wine dinner in a heartbeat. I think the restaurant chain is often overlooked or known for its classic New England seafood, and I have to say I am continually also impressed by the wine and service.
While our dinner was complimentary, thanks to the generosity of the folks at Legal, my review is 100% my own.
Do you have a favorite food and wine pairing?

Georgina Flanderka
Maturity Number 4
Georgina Flanderka is a female celebrity.
She was born on Friday December 14th 1945, in North Battleford, Canada,.
While learning the value of hard work, discipline, and organization in her early years, as she grows older Georgina Flanderka will contribute to things that are destined to last. In her later years she will have built things of lasting value. Georgina may have some health issues to which she will apply her organizational skills to lessen their effect on her.
Her maturity will find Flanderka increasingly practical, organized, and far more down to earth. She will be capable of putting her ideas into concrete form. Georgina's latter days promise to be a time of accomplishment and activity.
Georgina Flanderka becomes more focused and goal-oriented and less willing to discard details and cut corners. There is little interest in a quiet retirement. She is too involved in seeing her plans and efforts come to life.
Her family and friends will profit from Flanderka's Maturity Number 4 because of her increasingly helpful and reliable nature.
However, Georgina Flanderka must guard against becoming rigid, narrow minded, and opinionated, especially if already several fours are found in her numerological chart. If Georgina has only one or two of them, she will benefit by her increased understanding of systems, organization, and the rewards of a methodical approach to life.
You and Georgina
About Georgina's Maturity number
Georgina Flanderka's Maturity number indicates an underlying wish or desire that gradually surfaces around age thirty to thirty-five. This underlying goal begins to emerge as Georgina gains a better understanding of herself.
With self-knowledge comes a greater awareness of who Flanderka is, what her true goals in life are, and what direction she wants to set for her life.
