Read more "Miles From the Aisle."
I've spent some time lately pondering various topics  as I frequently do  and it dawned on me that there are entire industries devoted to unhappy women. Think about that for a moment. Millions of dollars directed toward the apparent epidemic of female unhappiness. Almost every comedian  and comedienne  has a part in their act about women making men miserable. WomenÂs magazines scream from their headlines each month about how to "Be Happier, Today!" Television networks make big bucks on women screaming, hair-pulling and crying in prime time.
Why are we so "angry"? How did we become something for men to Âput up with? Is it just that  like men, too  weÂve become selfish? Too impatient to love or be loved? Is it really that we just have too much on our plates? (Ah, the Âplight of the modern woman: ÂSo many roles, so little time.Â) Or is there something much larger going on here?Growing up, I prided myself on being the anti-girl, a Âguys' girl. I liked cars and tools. I played sports. I had zero  ok, one  girlfriend at a time. I didnÂt like to gossip. I hadnÂt been to a slumber party since the age of eight. I didnÂt like the color pink, get my nails done or get facials. I honestly just thought those things were dumb. Not only did I not want to hang out with other girls, but they didnÂt want to hang out with me. I wasnÂt one of Âthem. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy, and I was OK with that  until I got older.With age, I started to like things and want things for my life that couldnÂt be suppressed with exclusively male friends or typically male hobbies, and I began to wonder why I was alienating myself from my gender. It wasnÂt because I only owned one dress and wasnÂt taking weekly trips to the spa. I was just afraid of becoming what I had come to believe was a Âwoman: catty, superficial, high-maintenance and emotionally unstable.Now, I donÂt know if life imitates art, or the other way around, but somewhere along the line, Âwoman became synonymous with Âcrazy. The entertainment industryÂs portrayal of this type of woman as the norm makes it permissible  even encourages  bad female behavior, further perpetuating the very stereotype that did  and sometimes still does  leave me feeling lost in my own skin.Yes, women are emotionally reactive, yes we have a lot to say, yes we cry and yell and sometimes find it difficult to achieve balance in our lives. But it is the extreme portrayal of these very traits that creates an inaccurate and damaging perception of women, enabling some to use this "norm" as an excuse for bad behavior while further alienating those of us who have spent our entire lives believing that this is our unfortunate fate. It gives the men in our lives reason to not listen and to treat us as something to Âdeal with. It takes the very characteristics that make us loving and nurturing beings and repackages them as symptoms of a toxic subset of women whose self-righteous, egomaniacal, borderline psychotic behavior leaves the rest of us to wonder where we fit in.Why are some women continuing to exploit behaviors that confirm and perpetuate the idea that we are all angry, catty, shallow and unstable when we have the power, the choice and the responsibility to change that?Feminists are all about reclaiming the word Âbitch as our own  just like some people in the black community would like to do with another infamous word. But reclaiming a word does not redefine or empower a gender (or a race). The word Âbitch needs to be eliminated  along with the behavior.My whole life I have been stuck between both feeling ashamed of the very characteristics that make me a woman and sometimes using them as an excuse for bad behavior. But I want to be able to embrace my gender without fearing it or exploiting it.We live in a society that not only equates female behavior with bad female behavior  but expects it of us. It affects how we are viewed at work, how we interact with and are treated by our spouses, the quality of our friendships, our ability to be role models and our self-esteem. And the worst part is  weÂre doing it to ourselves.IÂm tired of feeling like I have to apologize when IÂm stressed out, want to talk at-length about something or need a moment to cry  just because some women choose to act like raving lunatics. I am ashamed to admit that I have said on more than one occasion to some of my male friends, ÂYouÂre right. Women are just crazy. We are.ÂBecause weÂre not. Some of us are just women.This affects comments on all stories.

Clear Power-On password for a Compaq 6000 Pro SFF

I need some help clearing the "Power-On" password for one of my computers for my school. I'm a teacher and one of my students put a power on password on one of my computers. I've tried the following.
"Resetting the Password Jumper
To disable the power-on or setup password features, or to clear the power-on or setup passwords,
complete the following steps:
1. Shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the computer and any external devices,
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
2. With the power cord disconnected, press the power button again to drain the system of any residual
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be
sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet, and allow the internal system components
to cool before touching.
CAUTION: When the computer is plugged in, the power supply always has voltage applied to
the system board even when the unit is turned off. Failure to disconnect the power cord can result
in damage to the system.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional equipment.
Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly
touching a grounded metal object. See the Safety & Regulatory Information guide for more
3. Remove the computer cover or access panel.
4. Locate the header and jumper.
NOTE: The password jumper is green so that it can be easily identified. For assistance locating
the password jumper and other system board components, see the Illustrated Parts & Service Map
(IPSM) for that particular system. The IPSM can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/
5. Remove the jumper from pins 1 and 2. Place the jumper on either pin 1 or 2, but not both, so that
it does not get lost.
6. Replace the computer cover or access panel.
7. Reconnect the external equipment.
8. Plug in the computer and turn on power. Allow the operating system to start. This clears the current
passwords and disables the password features."
I also tried waiting 30min without anything plugged into the mother board and the password still remains.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately these newer PC's now have a stringent security setting in the BIOS, which the person also enabled when they set the password if you can't clear it by removing the password jumper. This setting bypasses the password reset jumper.
So the only way to get that password off the computer is to log on with it, and remove it. If the person who set the password doesn't remember it, then in essence, you now have a very expensive doorstop.
See page 6 of the setup manual for this PC -- password options.

By Clive Cussler
(Pocket Star, Mass Market Paperback, 9781439135686, 704pp.)
Publication Date: June 30, 2009
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
Clive Cussler's breathtaking thriller is now available in a premium edition in an exciting new package.
Egypt, 1996. Searching for a treasure on the Nile, Dirk Pitt thwarts the attempted assassination of a beautiful U.N. scientist who's investigating a disease that is driving thousands of North Africans into madness, cannibalism, and death. The suspected cause of the raging epidemic is vast, unprecedented pollution that threatens to extinguish all life in the world's seas.
Racing to save the world from environmental catastrophe, Pitt and his team, equipped with an extraordinary, state-of-the-art yacht, run a gauntlet between a billionaire industrialist and a bloodthirsty West African tyrant. In the scorching desert, Pitt finds a gold mine manned by slaves and uncovers the truth behind two enduring mysteries—the fate of a Civil War ironclad and its secret connection with Lincoln's assassination, and the last flight of a long-lost female pilot. Now, amidst the blazing, shifting sands of the Sahara, Dirk Pitt will make a desperate stand—in a battle the world cannot afford to lose.
Clive Cussler's life nearly parallels that of his hero, Dirk Pitt. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, he has garnered an amazing record of success. With his NUMA crew of volunteers, Cussler has discovered more than sixty lost ships of historic significance.
-- Washington Post Book World
"...refreshing escapist entertainment."
Stephen Coonts
"Don't even peek at SAHARA until you're ready to read every word. America's finest adventure writer, Clive Cussler, has given us the ultimate Dirk Pitt tale, s taut zinger that I couldn't put down."
Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Clive Cussler is at his absolute, riotous, violent, macho best in SAHARA.... Dirk Pitt is a godsend ... The finale is no less than splendid."
Flint Journal
"Dirk Pitt is at it again... proving himself indestructible to the bad guys and irresistible to beautiful women -- and irresistible to readers as well!.... Terrifically fun...."
United Press International
"Clive Cussler gets more wild and mischievous with every new book.... SAHARA is a fast-moving string of adventures with some outrageous side plots.... A tour de force...."
Sunday Oklahoman
"It's Dirk Pitt at his adventurous best...."
Publishers Weekly
"Cussler champions ecological issues with verve, and continues his love affair with history.... Great fun... putting Beau Geste swashbucklers against the vilest of villains."
Newport News Daily Press
"Cussler gives us one of his most consistently enjoyable books in years.... Romance, violence, technology, and history all blend swimmingly into another adventure in which that old lethal smoothy Dirk Pitt can really raise some hell.... Cussler knows how to make action flow."
New York Daily News
"An ecological thriller with sideshows, and some most imaginative escapes and close calls.... There are some delicious villains.... It all comes together, but more than that, it leaves Cussler with a real problem, and that is how to top himself."
Raleigh News & Observer
"SAHARA is a great way to spend an afternoon. Or two. Or three.... A good-time book, a swashbuckling adventure.... You can't help but enjoy it."

There is no better publication that I am aware of that is so accurate and on top of any news and developments in our industry.

PROCOPIO: Seminar 1/31 at Snow Show on IP strategies.
Details on Industry Insight.
A sold-out house of more than 180 turned out Friday at The Shorebreak Hotel to hear Hurley Founder Bob Hurley and CEO Roger Wyett talk candidly about Hurley's business, company strategies and future plans during the Shop-eat-surf Executive Roundtable.
The two answered questions for more than an hour about a wide range of topics, including how Hurley has managed to grow while other companies were shrinking during the recession, what it plans to do with its Phantom patent, where the company plans to focus international growth, and if Hurley plans to counter Billabong's retail moves.
I don't plan to give a blow-by-blow account of the conversation here, but a few themes emerged. CEO Roger Wyett fervently believes in focusing on a few big things, and doing those things very, very well.
Roger does not come from the industry. He said his role is to play Forest Gump, and constantly ask why the industry – and Hurley – does things they way they do. One of his common refrains is "Is that really the best we can do?"
Questioning the norm is what led to Hurley remaking and elevating the U.S. Open to new heights the past two years.
On the retail front, the company does not plan to make a major move, but both Roger and Bob said they believe in multi-brand formats with existing retailers, and pointed to their partnerships with HSS, Surfside Sports, Hobie and others as examples.
When I asked Roger to respond to critics who say Hurley is using Nike money to buy the market share, Roger replied that there is no free lunch at Nike. Hurley is profitable and spends a fraction of what other industry brands do on marketing, he said. The company just spends its money very strategically - on fewer, yet bigger things.
We'll have a few video highlights from the talk in a few days. In the meantime, check out our slideshow above.
The SES Executive Roundtable was sponsored by Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Luce Forward, Moss Adams, Innovative Systems/Full Circle, CPI Resources, and The Shorebreak Hotel.

The hotel is nicely located near the theatre district and many good restaurants. Two subway stations are nearby. Our room was fine, beds comfortable. The complementary cooked breakfast was just right.
TV set had a few glitches.

The location was perfect. We went to a show and the theater was only a half block away.
The rooms and hallways need to be remodeled/refurbished. Especially the bathroom.

Location was superb for the money. Staff was welcoming and helpful.
Breakfast (though free) was awful. I tried it early in morning. My children never ate breakfast there because when they were ready after 8:30am on three mornings there were at least 50+++ people waiting in line. Food not worth the wait. Hot breakfast out.

Riding in go-karts and playing miniature golf are excellent ways to prepare children for a future filled with high-speed car chases and malevolent windmills. Ready, set, go with this Groupon.
$20 for $40 Worth of Go-Kart Rides and Entertainment
The $40 credit may be used toward any amusement in the facility. Obtain an annual membership license ($10) and test your skills on the upstairs go-kart track ($12/race) or practice your putts on the 18-hole downstairs mini-golf course ($6/person). The credit may also be used toward arcade play, billiards matches, games of bowling, and a bite to eat at Drafters Sports Cafe.
Tri-State Speedway
Tires squeal and a 15-horsepower engine hums as its driver cuts through a narrow turn, shaving fractions of a second off the lap. Below the track, a colorful golf ball winds through faux island trees, avoiding walls and stops on its way to an awaiting hole. It's another day at Tri-State Speedway, a multileveled family entertainment center littered with motorized fun for patrons of any age. The upstairs, 22,000-square-foot go-kart track hosts competitive races with karts calibrated for speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. A walk downstairs leads to the island-themed, 18-hole mini-golf course nestled among a large video-game arcade, bowling lanes, bumper cars, and billiard tables. When fun gives way to hunger, Drafters Sports Cafe's servers and cooks serve finger-friendly pub bites, ice-cold beer, and paper napkins fashioned from losing basketball brackets.
Needless to say they've got it all. It's fun, fairly big and quite a bit to do.

My grandson and I did 3 races against each other and the total was the $40 coupon, plus $10 registration and $40 additional dollars. Yet, we had a ball and it was a real rush as we were the only two racers on the course. He is 16 and loved it. I am 69 and I loved it. I will be going back with other grandsons."

The nursing program is an Associate of Science Degree program that can be completed in four semesters after admission to the major.
The graduates of an associate degree program in nursing are prepared to practice as staff nurses in direct patient care in hospitals and long-term care facilities, clinics, and other agencies where nursing roles and services are structured and well developed. Clinical, hospital, and community experiences are provided at a number of sites in Alameda, Santa Clara, and other local counties.
During the first year, nursing students take basic nursing and support courses to the major. The development of critical thinking, professional oral and written communications, and ethical practice form the foundation for success in future nursing courses. Beginning in the latter part of the first year and continuing through the second year, nursing courses are more specifically concerned with the care of patients ranging in age from infants to the elderly, with various conditions affecting their health. With expert faculty guidance, nursing students learn to function in the clinical setting as they care for clients with a wide variety of health‑illness problems.
The program prepares the associate degree graduate to take the NCLEX-RN (licensing exam), leading to practice as a Registered Nurse (R.N.).

Screening for variations in APO gene not warranted, researchers say
TUESDAY, Sept. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Variations in the apolipoprotein (APO) gene are not as important an indicator of coronary risk as has been thought, according to a new British analysis of previously published studies.
The APO gene comes in three varieties -- E2, E3 and E4. All forms of the gene produce a protein that is an important component of the fat and protein complexes found in blood plasma, and that plays an important role in the metabolism of cholesterol and the fats called triglycerides.
Some previous studies have found an association between specific APOE versions -- generally E2 -- and lipid levels, according to the report, published in the Sept. 19 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association by a group led by John Danesh of the University of Cambridge.
But many of those studies were too small to be reliable, said study co-author Dr. Emanuele Di Angelantonio. A meta-analysis that assessed 82 studies of blood fat levels and 121 studies of coronary outcome showed that the association with APO E variants showed that the links were not as strong as once suspected, he said.
"People with APO E2 have a 20 percent lower risk of coronary disease," Di Angelantonio said. That was about twice as weak as had been previously reported, the journal report said. Coronary risk was increased slightly for carriers of the APO E4 variant.
There has been talk about screening for APO E variants to help determine coronary risk, but "it is almost impossible to use APO E for screening," Di Angelantonio said. "APO E2 is a relatively rare mutation."
Which is just as well, said Dr. Daniel J. Rader, director of preventive cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania, since APO E variants can affect the risk of other conditions. Specifically, APO E4 has been linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, Rade

Pico Day 2009 The fourth annual Pico Day!
Author Comments
It's loosley based on the original "Pico's School" by Tom Fulp. It's my longest animation to date. Thanks to snayk for the awesome song. Hopefully somebody likes it. Happy Pico Day.
Wow, thanks for the front page and daily 4th! And thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a comment! I'm really surprised how well this was received, considering how good the majority of submissions were this year. Thank you for letting me depress the hell out you :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It's been years since I've watched this submission, but the sorrow music, gloomy atmosphere, and depressing take on what is known as an action-packed shooter story has never left my mind.
Thank you sir, for this magnificent piece of art.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great concept
So few people think about the trauma pico probly went through. this was well made
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You know what the funny thing is that Pico looks more like Pico O Brien gett it (Conan O Brien) LMAO
Rated 4 / 5 stars
1.)I absolutely loved the old comic book style animations
2.)Great song choice, really set the somber mood.
3.)the "blinking" to change scenes was a good idea, but the eyelashes were SO ANNOYING, really hated the eyelashes. You lose points there.
If it weren't for the editing style this would be a 10/10
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Well done
Tremendously moving, I really love how it showed such a serious, new side to Pico's story. The artwork was perfect, especially for the theme, and the music fit wonderfully.

I sure hope so, but I guess that's up to Austin.
I'm officially in, if we're still doing this thing. I've got a small porter (3.2% ABV) and my iteration of Yooper's DFH 60 should be ready just it time. Let me know if I should bring some non-beer consumables. I can make a good guac or some jalapeno mashed potatoes.
He guys, definately interested! I'll have my first Pale Ale to bring, but I gotta check my calendar. I have a creeping feeling that I have something going on that weekend. Im over in Lake Wales, but I don't mind a drive! Send me any info you have. And if not, I look forward to doing something in the future, because I'm new and I'd love to get some ideas from others.
I'll be bringing some wine to Florida when we come down, ill bring a couple of extra bottles. I wasn't too enthused with the thought of bringing beer on the plane in my luggage. haha
Hey guys. I was in Vegas, sorry it took me a while to update this post! We are definatley doing this. April 19th. I have updated the front page with all the people that are coming. Also, go ahead and call your dish. We are thinking pot luck is best. Bring your best dish and your best beer!
Cool, I was afraid we lost you. I'll bring my Red Devil Ale, and Pale Force Ale. As far as food, I haven't decided yet. I can make my roasted corn and black bean salsa, but I don't know what else yet.
NUTS!!! I think that is the weekend I will be in Atl. visiting my Dad.

Two days before the Vikings were to host Denver in Week 13, Percy Harvin missed practice with an illness. For a brief period anyway, there was some question as to whether he would be able to play.
The struggling Vikings were already preparing to go without star running back Adrian Peterson, who was out with a high ankle sprain. They had also put receiver Michael Jenkins on injured reserve earlier that week.
When asked about the potential of facing the Broncos without Harvin too, head coach Leslie Frazier seemed quite rattled.
"Oh, man. Please, please, please let's not go down that road," Frazier said.
Yep, Percy Harvin has now established himself as one of the most valuable players in the organization. And his brilliance over the past month deserves widespread recognition.
Just how good has the third-year receiver out of Florida been? Here are some eye-opening nuggets:

Seattle Times staff columnist
Pliers are great for tightening nuts, but I wouldn't use them to pluck out a splinter.
Wrong tool, is what I thought when I read that Seattle is using police officers to "provide a guiding hand and an open ear" for students at five middle schools.
But whether officers are the right instrument depends on how the job is defined.
The officers are part of the Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, which is part of Mayor Greg Nickels' response to the shootings that ended the lives of five teenagers last year.
The mayor's initiative is focused on about 800 middle- school students who are at the highest risk for committing violent acts or being the next victim.
It is a crisis plan, and the officers are its most visible and symbolic component.
I was startled to think the schools were bringing in cops as counselors, but Pegi McEvoy, the district's safety and security manager, says the officers won't be counselors, they'll do crisis management, verbal de-escalation, some motivational talking and a little enforcement.
I wish, though, we'd stop waiting for crises.
What have we not been doing in the years leading up to middle school that would leave so many of our children vulnerable to youth violence?
Well, we know the answers to that question. One is supporting parents who need help and guidance.
That can't be said often enough, because we seem to have trouble hearing it.
"Let's empower parents to do their jobs," Kevin Haggerty told me. I called Haggerty because he has done a lot of research on improving the behavior of adolescents.
Haggerty is a professor in the school of social work at the University of Washington, and assistant director of the Social Development Research Group.
He said we especially need to help "low-income parents who are struggling with difficult neighborhood issues and have a difficult time knowing what to do."
He said they are good people wanting to do good things, who find themselves more often blamed than helped.
Haggerty was part of a research project between 2000 and 2005 that showed a little help can make a big difference.
Researchers recruited 331 Seattle middle-school students and their parents.
About half were white and half black. Some got a 10-week family training program that included an instructional video, a family workbook and a checklist. Among those, some were contacted by phone every week to assess their progress and encourage them to keep going, others had regular group meetings with other families. A control group received no training.
Researchers compared the groups in 10th grade and found violence was cut in half for African-American kids whose families got help. Participation didn't affect the white kids.
It's easy to see why the outcomes were so different if you look at the families recruited into the study.
Income for the African-American families was about a third the income of the white families. Few of the African-American parents had completed college. Most of the white parents had college degrees. A majority of the African Americans and about a quarter of the white Americans were single parents.
All of those factors matter.
We know which circumstances protect children against going astray and which put them at greater risk.
Does a kid feel safe at home, optimistic about the future, connected to family, school and community life? Do his parents communicate well and model responsible behavior? What are the parent's expectations? What's the family culture?
Helping kids get more of the good stuff and shielding them from the bad improves their behavior.
Not only that, other studies have shown it improves their academic performance, too.
The earlier the intervention, the greater the rewards.
The mayor's plan takes the latest research into account and includes a range of responses beyond adding the four officers, but it is focused on kids who've already triggered an alarm.
It makes sense to put out the fires of a crisis. It makes even more sense to move the kindling away from the flames before it ignites.
The officers may be right for the job they've been given, but we rely on the justice system to solve too many problems that could be avoided if we acted sooner with different tools.

Ocean State Rock Climbing's instructors guide climbers step-by-step as they progress from their first time on a wall until they tackle advanced problems. Initially, they put novices through a series of entry-level routes. As their climbers advance, they then teach them to belay and master more advanced skills such as lead climbing.
These journeys from beginner to master take place amid the towering walls of Ocean State Rock Climbing's gym. Secured by top ropes, rock climbers scale colorful routes and solve increasingly challenging problems. Crash pads create safe landings as visitors climb across bouldering routes or practice being trolls within two bouldering caves.

With a menu of massage modalities and cupping techniques, clients have many options to choose from, such as the Soul massage, which incorporates reiki into soothing strokes and carefully applied pressure. To ensure clients also feel better on the outside, the staff performs aesthetic services including facials and nail services.

In this clip from Transformers Prime Beast Hunters, Optimus Prime shows us once again that he's pretty awesome with his new bulked-up flight pack.
Although Optimus is back to full strength (or rather better than full strength), we're still anxious to see what will happen with Smokescreen. All of us G1 fans expect Smokescreen to be the next Rodimus Prime, especially after Ultra Magnus was introduced. Optimus may be one of the greatest Autobot leaders of all time, but the producers are definitely giving the nod to the original 1986 Transformers: The Movie. It helps that Frank Welker and Peter Cullen were reunited, as the voices of Megatron and Optimus Prime respectively, to show kids how real Transformers get down.
Transformers Prime airs Fridays at 7:30 PM ET on the Hub Network. The series is produced by Hasbro Studios.

Property type | villa |
Spartan villas are arranged on a hill and offer breathtaking views of the Aegean sea and the Mirabello bay.
The villas have;
A/C, Satellite TV,Flat screen TV/DVD in every room, WI-Fi, telephone and electronic safe.
There is a private infinity pool on the ground floor which offers panoramic views of the landscape and the bay. It is part of a spacious terrace which features a pergola, large dining area, additional kitchen and a built in brick BBQ.
The main entrance on the first floor leads to a comfortable and elegantly furnished living room with feature fireplace. Adjoined there is a fully fitted kitchen and breakfast bar.
A staircase leads to the ground floor which has 2 double bedrooms, both with patio doors leading to pool area, a bathroom and a utility area.
To the second floor there is a double bedroom with en suite. This room boasts its own pergola covered balcony with comfortable sofas. The blinds for the window are remote controlled and you can see the most amazing views from the comfort of your bed.
Spartan villas are a family run business. Theodoros And Maria (my parents)are over in Elounda during the summer running the villas whilst I am here in the UK dealing with the bookings. My parents ensure that everything runs smoothly during your holiday. The villas are immaculate and spotless thanks to my mum and my dad really does go above and beyond what is expected. He takes people to the supermarket and has even been known to take guests luggage to Heraklion for them!
The things that make spartan villas stand out are the attention to detail. The little things that my parents do to help you enjoy your holidays. Like ensuring there are groceries so you aren't rushing to the shops when you arrive.
I live in Liverpool, England and have 2 children. We have spent most summers in Greece and experienced every type of holiday Imaginable, even the holidays from hell. We, as a family have taken all our experiences, good and bad, to make sure that you have a dream holiday.
We built the villa and designed it With little touches that will give you a dream holiday. The little things matter. There is a kitchen on the ground floor, off the living room but we decided that it wasn't enough. The floor below is where the pool, outdoor dining area and BBQ are located so we felt it necessary to put in an additional kitchen. Who wants to be running upstairs with dishes or to get a cold drink from the fridge? It really is the little things....
Elounda is quiet yet lively enough for the whole family.
There are many restaurants and bars near to the villa offering local traditional cuisine, especially fresh fish.
The beaches are beautiful, clean and not overcrowded.
Elounda is a resort that has something to offer for the family. At spartan villas you can hide away and enjoy BBQ your own food and swimming whilst enjoying the breathtaking views.
Jet skiing, pedalo boats, windsurfing, scuba diving are just some of the activities you can enjoy locally
You can take a trip to Spinalonga, steeped in history.
You can enjoy the local bars and restaurants. You can dance till the early hours in local clubs. There are playgrounds for smaller children. Something for the whole family to enjoy.
You may wish to take a trip to Zeus cave.
I would highly recommend visiting paradise beach. As the name suggests it is nothing short of magical swimming in the sea here. The high salt content gives you a feeling of weightlessness whilst the water is invigorating. If you are feeling adventurous you may use the opportunity to hire a pedalo to visit Spinalonga from paradise beach!

It feels like Mike Burstyn has always been around. While the entertainment business, by definition, lends itself to illusion and the cultivation of non-realistic personas, in real life Burstyn is as effervescent and larger than life as the many delightful screen and stage characters he has portrayed over the past six decades.Los Angeles resident Burstyn is currently in Israel to star in The Adventures of Hershele Ostropoler, alongside veteran Yiddish actor Yaakov Boddo. The comedy is based on the eponymous 18th-century prankster, and forms part of this year's Yiddishpiel Festival. The work was written by Moshe Gershenson in the early 20th century, and Burstyn is suitably enthused about portraying the lovable and somewhat incorrigible character."Hershele is someone who does all this foilishtik [pranks] to help the poor people in their shtetls," says the 67-year-young actor. "In this version of the story he has to drive a rich miser mad."Throughout his career Burstyn has combined acting with comedy, song and dance, to great effect, so it was only natural that the current version of Hershele Ostropoler should provide a vehicle for him to utilize as many of his polished skills as possible."The original play was not a musical, but the songs were added by the director of the Folksbiene, the national Yiddish theater in New York," Burstyn explains. "The songs are all original Yiddish songs from that era. This show is very sweet and very innocent."The play will be performed all over the country until the end of the month and is directed by Eleanor Reissa, who was in charge of the Broadway production, also with Burstyn, a couple of years ago. The New York run was a critical and financial success, and eventually paved the way for the Yiddishpiel slot. "It got a very good review and Sassy Keshet, who is the new artistic director of the Yiddishpiel, contacted me after he heard about the success in New York, and that's how this came about."Burstyn got a very early start on his career path, at the tender age of seven. He grew up in an archetypal show biz family.His parents, Pesach Burstein and Lillian Lux, were acclaimed Yiddish-language actors who toured the United States and the world with various productions, such as Megilla of Itzik Manger and A Khasene in Shtetl (Wedding in a Shtetl).Burstyn, and twin sister Susan, were soon recruited into the family business and the parents and offspring lineup became known as the Four Burstyns. The twins were given the stage names of Motele and Zisele."My parents schlepped us along to South America and put us in the show," recalls Burstyn. "We were cute little things and my father knew a good thing when he saw it. We were like these wunderkinder, singing and dancing and performing. We were real crowd pullers."The family was the subject of the awardwinning 1996 documentary The Komediant.So, Burstyn was destined to earn his keep as an entertainer."Yes, I really had no choice," he notes, although he briefly contemplated rebelling."I thought of being an aeronautical engineer or a lawyer," he continues. "I am an amateur lawyer. I played one on Broadway."While the Burstyns did well in the States and elsewhere, this part of the world proved to be a harder nut to crack, although that was no reflection on the quality of entertainment the family team offered Israeli audiences."We came here in 1954 and worked here for about a year and a half, but eventually we had to leave," Burstyn recalls. "In those days, the establishment was officially against the Yiddish language. There was a special entertainment tax on productions in foreign languages, and Yiddish was considered a foreign language. There was a fear that Yiddish might take over as the national language."Burstyn has tangible evidence of the official hard-line take."I have a document from the Ministry of the Interior, from 1955, with a request from a local producer to put on a Yiddish musical theater show," Burstyn continues.This wasn't any old show. "It was Kuni Lemel, of all things."The 1966 Israeli film version of the play starred Burstyn and established him as a top actor in this country, as well as bringing him the Israeli Oscar."The producer asked to put on a show of Kuni Lemel in Yiddish. The answer [from the Ministry of the Interior] says that it is forbidden for a local company to perform in Yiddish, and a copy was sent to the Israeli Police headquarters. In other words, it was a criminal offense to perform in Yiddish in Israel at the time."Thankfully, things have moved on and the Yiddishpiel Festival is doing its bit to keep the language alive and kicking here.Burstyn's meteoric rise to fame here, in the wake of Kuni Lemel, was also the source of some familial anguish."I became really hot in Israel after that," says the actor. "I was 20 years old and I had broken away from the family team. We weren't just a family, we were also business partners, but I saw that I'd have no future if I stayed only in Yiddish theater."Burstyn has spent quite a lot of his working hours in this country since that initial abortive attempt to make a go of it in Israel. He starred in two Kuni Lemel movies, as well as Oscar-nominated Israeli film Sallah Shabati, and The Dybbuk.He has acted in numerous Israeli theater productions while maintaining a busy career on Broadway, off-Broadway and on TV, in the States and Europe. He also speaks eight languages and looks much younger than his chronological age."I am celebrating my 60th anniversary in show business," Burstyn observes. "I haven't stopped since I was 7."He doesn't even look like slowing down.The current run of The Adventures of Hershele Ostropoler opened last Wednesday at Beit Hahayal in Tel Aviv, to enthusiastic audiences, and there are dates lined up all over the country, including Jerusalem, Rehovot, Eilat and Kiryat Haim, through to October 31.For more info about The Adventures of Hershele Ostropoler and the Yiddishpiel Festival: (03) 525-4460 exts. 1-2.
