Verified Purchase
I ordered this but it is not in my purchase history for some reason. Let me
see... the color is a beautiful sky blue that I have not seen before. Writes
very well and writes smooth, however the front area where the pen tip is is a
bit stubby. It does not extend far enough from the pen grip so I have to hold it
a little weird when I write. I don't know, maybe my fingers or just to small or
something. Overall great pen!

Beautiful pastel pink...
Verified Purchase
Beautiful pastel pink when it first hits the paper, then slowly changes into a
metallic silver/pink after it dries, so it almost looks pinkish purple
afterwards. Very cute and very girly pen. 。◕‿◕。

Verified Purchase
Great! Writes very thick and the color is beautiful. I am not sure how long they
last, since I only use these for small notes or doodles in letters or study
material, but over all a good product.

Verified Purchase

and perfect for writing letters. Leaves a lasting impression.

Verified Purchase
Just as I stated in one of my earlier reviews, I also bought one of these (Sky
Blue body) at Maido Stationary in San Francisco's Japan Town while I was
visiting home this Christmas. At the store they allow you to write on some paper
and test out the pen before you purchase and I was in LOOOOOVEEE! So smooth and
it writes so thin. I love using this pen for my holiday cards I send to people
and the letters I use to write my penpals. Just ordered this pen in Apricot
Orange and Lavender. This is the pen that directed me to this website when I
realized I needed more than one.

Verified Purchase
I bought one of these at Maido Stationary in San Francisco's Japan Town while I
was visiting home this Christmas. They sold them in singles so I picked out the
pretty pastel green one. BEAUTIFUL! I fell in love with it. I made all four of
our new airmen in our squadron study guides... and I used my highlighter for
every key note for them to study! 200 and something pages and it began to dull
out a little, but I still have life in it! I just ordered a pack of these and
cannot wait to get them in the mail and use them for more studying. <3!

The first Life Fiber that fell to Earth millions of years ago. Currently under the control of the Kiryuin family.
The Primordial Life Fiber was a primordial, extraterrestrial parasitic being that landed on Earth in ancient times. It was the source of all life fibers on the planet. As it couldn't feed off its hosts from the inside, it had to cling on from the outside, like clothes. Since then it manipulated human evolution to make them the ideal cattle to feast upon in later eons. It lay dormant for millions of years, before being discovered by the Kiryuin family. It's possible that it's actually many Liber Fibers living in a colony, rather than a single creature. The Kiryuin family took control the Primordial Life Fiber and made it into clothing, which they spread around the world.
Primordial Life Fiber is one of the antagonists of the Kill la Kill anime series that was produced by Trigger. It's directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by Kazuki Nakashima. The character design was done by Sushio. The series first began in October 3, 2010.
Its first anime appearance was in Kill la Kill - Episode 16 "The Girl Can't Help it.
During the Cultural & Sports Grand Festival, the Primordial Life Fiber awakens and creates COVERS, which are released to consume victims. Nudist Beach and Satsuki's Elite Four discover that COVERS are connected to the Primordial Life Life by a thread, unless they are feeding off a victim. While Ryuko (under Junketsu's control) engages Satsuki's group, the entity prepares to cocoon the entire planet with the aid of Ragyo and Nui.

Longtime volunteer with Newark PD 'retires' again A second retirement for a longtime volunteer... "Once you get into your 90s it's about time to quit." Mellany Armstrong has this week's WDEL Delaware Story. Harry McKenry of Newark retired in 1991 after 42 years at what is now Astra Zeneca. "After I'd been retired for about two years, I was getting bored, and my wife said, 'Why don't you volunteer?' And I said, 'Doing what?' And she said, 'Well, look, in the paper here, the police are looking for a volunteer," he said. Harry got hired at the Newark Police Department. On Mondays and Thursdays for the last 21 years, he's helped them and the news media. "I would go in twice a week and take crime reports and go through them, and pick out things that I thought might be of interest," he said. He's seen quite a few cops move up in rank during that time. "The officer that hired me, if you will, for a volunteer, was a corporal at the time, he's now Capt. John Potts," he said. Harry was honored recently as a Jefferson Award nominee for public service for his volunteerism. "I've enjoyed every minute of it, they're all a nice bunch of people," Harry said. Harry is 91, and looks at his long life with humor. "One of the things I say is, 'If I get up in the morning and there's not a tag on my big toe, I get up.'" He says may need to find another volunteer job now that he's retired from this one. "I'm sure I'm gonna get bored. They said at the police station, 'Anytime you want to come back, come on back,'" he said. |

This is not one bit about gardening but I am excited to tell it. My father escaped to Australia in WW II and a book was written by the skipper about the long boat trip carrying 18 sailors. This old book out of print book has been reissued and is on Amazon. My father is only mentioned a few times in it. One of them was about him wishing for ice cream. After I left home and he was retired he had a big bowl of vanilla ice cream in the evenings and the dog also got a bowl at his feet. When he was in the nursing home before his death and had dementia, the nurses were giving him double ice creams. He never ever talked about the escape. I found out after his death from my cousin that he had suffered a head injury when Corregidor was being shelled. We wonder if that contributed to his dementia the last two years of his life. |

What a wonderful keepsake for you to remind you of your father Helen. Did he get to see the book when it originally came out? It has great reviews. Maybe they'll make it into a movie or documentary someday. |
Yes I have the old hard cover book from 1942 or so. The story was in the Saturday Evening Post in a series of three magazines in the early 1940's. I also have those magazines and also in a veterans' magazine more recently. I was born in Australia where my father met my mother. I came here with my mother at 9 mo old and lived in Kansas with his relatives until my father got back to the states. Ralph Newquist is his name. He greatly respected the skipper for getting him out of there. |

Chester Tai Chi practitioners caught the wave of energy that was passed around the world Saturday during a gathering for World Tai Chi & Qigong Day. At 10 a.m., seventy countries, in their local time, sent the wave of Tai Chi across the globe in an annual event to educate millions worldwide about Tai Chi and Qigong's benefits and how to find local classes.
The Chesterfield County Police Department has arrested a man in relation to an attempted abduction that occurred on Wednesday, April 11.
BGB Technology Inc. announced plans last week to establish their first U.S. facility in Chesterfield. BGB designs and manufactures electrical and optical slip ring assemblies for rotary applications, including components for wind turbine sytems.
Volunteer fire stations are on the endangered species list in Chesterfield. As professional firefighters have been trained and put to work at state-of-the-art facilities across the county, volunteer stations have taken the back seat to stations manned by Chesterfield's pros, even though volunteers go through the same training.
There's still time for gardening. Sure it's the first of May but if you have the right soil, good sun and the last of the spring season plants, working a garden can be a great hobby, source of great home-grown veggies and a relaxing way to focus on something other than the issues of the day.
The Iron Bridge Corner LLC case was heard by Chesterfield's Board of Supervisors last week for the third time and after a rehash of the case and an addendum presented too late to be advertised to the public, the case was deferred again for 30 days.
Like most big moments that happen in life, this too started out as something simple. Jennifer Green, a stylist at Hair Pros in Chester received an exciting phone call in early January. "I got a phone call from a client of mine asking if I could do hair and makeup for a wedding party and would it be alright if it was filmed [for a reality TV show], of course I said okay,"
Girl Scout Troop 3709, led by Lynn Alvarez, Jane Harrington and Giovanka Obermuller, collected 115 boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year to be donated to Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Hospital.

Predictors of Phrase and Fluent Speech in Children With Autism and Severe Language Delay
Date Published:
March 4, 2013
Researchers at Kennedy Krieger examined prevalence and predictors of language attainment in severely language-delayed children with ASD. 70% of the sample attained phrase speech and 47% attained fluent speech at or after age 4, indicating that later gains in language are likely in toddlers with severely delayed language. Children with high nonverbal intelligence and high levels of social interest and engagement were most likely to attain language. ASD-related features such as repetitive and sensory behaviors were not associated with language attainment.

Best to worst Doomsday movies named "2012"
Average of 3,399,173 ratings:
When typhoons, earthquakes and other disasters suddenly threaten to destroy the world, Jackson (John Cusack), his estranged wife, Kate (Amanda Peet), and others surmise that the secret may lie in ancient Mayan prophecies that describe global calamity in the year 2012. Roland Emmerich co-writes and directs a star-studded ensemble cast that also includes Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt, Woody Harrelson, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Danny Glover.
My Review
I really liked this film, but I will admit, I have been given the habit of watching all doomsday movies. not usually my palette, but after all 2012 is coming whether we want it to or not. What I don't get is it is getting closer to a century anniversary of 11/11/11. Only once in a century do I dentical numbers line up and add to minutes and second, that is even more of a reason to make a flick. you 11/11/11 at 11:11 and 11 seconds. Bakc to 2012. I love John cusack so that helped.
If you liked Armageddon, Impact, Independance Day, you'll LOVE this.

Four strangers are drawn to an ancient temple in Mexico on Dec. 21, 2012, to witness a global catastrophe of epic proportions. Based on actual Mayan prophecy, the story melds folklore and Christian beliefs with science, exploring themes of climate change and spiritual renewal. Ami Dolenz, Dale Midkiff, Cliff De Young and Collin Brock star in this apocalyptic thriller directed by Nick Everhart.
My Review
This movie just lacked in so many areas. I am not going to slam it on any religious level, because, frankly, I enjoy the "Left Behind" series. That select group has taken religious prophecy and made it palletable. This movie was a rank third rate piece of trash. I do not understand how such a prophetic date, 2012, could not get higher ranking directors and writers. Perhaps they felt it would be savagly overdone. And folks, they're right!!
If you like this genre, let me make some recommendations: "The Final Storm". I have watched a rewatched this and I love it. "Testament" (the one with Lukas Haas) a great telling of a day in the life, and then BOOM. "2012" with John Cusack, so far the best piece with that title. "Knowing", I liked this movie so much, Nicholas Cage did a wonderful job as a science teacher of young children. And finally, and please, no BOOOOS; "Last Night" with Sandra Oh and Dominick Dunne. Some may not like it, but it is a different perspective. Now all of you reading this, I promise I will come back and look. Please tell me of your movies for this tenuous year, I am craving all the scifi 2012 I can get.
Hey Micky Dolenz's daughter is in it. So there's that.
2012 Mayan Prophecy and the Shift of the Ages
Average of 97,922 ratings: 3 stars
According to the ancient Mayan calendar, the last day of history will be Dec. 21, 2012. This provocative documentary looks at the doomsday prophecy and the attention it has received -- and asks whether the 2012 date is really about the "end." Instead, the filmmakers suggest, humankind may be on the verge of a complete transformation in its nature, and 2012 will mark the beginning of a whole new historical cycle.
My Review
What can I say that isn't said in the description? A good but not great documentary on the obvious
The Entire Movie
Average of 195,585 ratings: 3.1 stars
Directed by filmmaker Nimrod Erez, this captivating documentary explores the widely debated prediction that -- based on the ancient Mayans' Long Count Calendar -- the world will end in the year 2012. Collecting input from noted authors, anthropologists and professors, Erez and company strive to determine if the calendar portends a time of great spiritual transformation -- or the complete and utter destruction of mankind.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Uruguayan metalworkers have gone on strike and occupied factories as part
of a broader wave of labor unrest resulting from the stalling of salary
negotiations, according to Sept. 24 reports. Meanwhile, cargo transport
workers agreed to a 15-day suspension of their strike, which had blocked
the country's main port, while public transport workers announced that
they will stop work for seven hours Sept. 25.
Brazilian mining giant Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) has suspended
some shipments of iron ore to China due to price disputes, according to
Sept. 25 reports. CVRD aims to raise the price paid by Asian importers to
the same level as that of European mills, which pay about 10 percent more
than customers in Asia. China's Iron and Steel Association has called the
demands unreasonable, and indicated that it will turn to domestic ore
producers to meet demands until the dispute with CVRD is resolved. It does
not appear, however, that China's domestic production will be able to make
up for the drop in imports.
Brazilian mining giant Companhia Vale do Rio Doce plans to invest $2.2
billion to build a new alumina refinery and an additional $500 million to
develop an existing bauxite mine in Brazil's Para state, according to
Sept. 25 reports. The refinery is expected to begin operation by 2011. It
will initially process some 2 million metric tons of alumina per year,
though the capacity could eventually expand to more than 7 million.
Development at the nearby Paragominas III bauxite mine is intended to
increase its annual capacity from 10 million metric tons to nearly 15
Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said he is considering not repaying a
$200 million loan from the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), as part of
his dispute with Brazilian construction company Odebrecht, according to
Sept. 25 reports. It is possible that Correa is simply using this threat
as another way to shore up domestic support before the upcoming vote on a
constitutional referendum. Additionally, however, Correa is using any
lever he can get to improve the country's standing vis-a-vis foreign
companies. He has avoided outright default as an option although the
finances of the country would justify such an action. The fundamental
lesson to take from the Odebrecht dispute is that when foreign companies
engage in a dispute with the Ecuadorian government -- even though it is
not outright interested in wholesale nationalization -- the government
reserves the right to take drastic action against private enterprise.
Mexican state oil company Pemex has temporarily reduced its crude oil
production by some 250,000 barrels per day, according to Sept. 25 reports.
A company statement said the reduction was in response to limited
operation at U.S. refineries in the Gulf of Mexico after Hurricane Ike.
However, Mexico's crude oil output has declined over the past year as
Pemex has struggled with several issues. Pemex continues to suffer from a
disastrous lack of investment. Although pending reforms will loosen some
regulations surrounding the industry, the constitutional changes necessary
to allow for necessary foreign investment are not set to pass any time
soon. They will perhaps be addressed in 2009 by the congress, but the
issue is highly politically charged, and a solid percentage of Mexicans do
not support anything that resembles foreign ownership of Mexican natural

UK media continued reporting on the IOA not voting on an Olympic boycott,
with the latest items including a comment from Lord Coe: "I have very,
very close links with the Indian national Olympic committee and I have
never had any sense at all, privately or publicly, that there was any
appetite for a boycott."
Articles have been seen the Guardian, the Mirror, some local/regional
outlets and a few international outlets. The texts are all very similar.
Midland Daily News today has the AP article from Monday, located on page
A3 at the top.
Indian sports media SportzPower published an article reporting the IOA
meeting on 12/5 "is not going to happen," partly because IOA secretary
general Raja Randhir Singh will be traveling to Lausanne, Switzerland that
day. Unidentified "top sources" also indicated none of the former
Olympians who signed are IOA members, and that none of the active athletes
"have written anything" about the Dow sponsorship.
This article reported the IOC "has been circulating" a document with
background on the Bhopal gas accident and subsequent activities of the
Indian governments and UCC "to place on the table the facts of the case
against the detractors, who are linking Dow Chemical Company with Union
Carbide Company."
Marketing Week published a commentary about Olympic sponsorships in
general, that sponsoring companies comprise "a veritable rogues gallery of
the corporate reputation that hardly adheres to the Olympic motto of
`faster, higher, stronger." BP, Lloyds TSB and Thomas Cook are named in
this regard. Further comment includes: "Today, most of the companies big
enough to afford an Olympic sponsorship and desperate enough to seek out
global recognition are often those most in need of reputational rescue."
- Tim Edwards emailed a link to the article to the Remember-Bhopal
distribution list and included the last item quoted.
IBNS published the ICJB press statement about Sambhavna staff
participation in the Bhopal anniversary events. DNA published a brief item
from that.
PTI reported Abdul Jabbar "threatened of holding a dharna" on 12/2-3 at CM
Chouhan's residence as an anniversary observance. Jabbar addressed the
media, complaining the "district court" has "a total lack of seriousness"
in hearing the case on enhancing the sentences in the Bhopal criminal
case. He also said the GoI and MP state have not implemented the several
projects or programs for the gas victims that have been announced "in the
last 18 months."
In Nagpur, the Hitavada reported DRDO joint director, Dr. G P Meshram,
presented at an Indo Finland workshop at NEERI on "The Genomic Tools in
Bio-remediation." The Hitavada asked Meshram about possible applications
of bio-remediation for the Bhopal factory waste, to which he apparently
responded positively. (The writing and grammar are not entirely clear.)

Clayton News Daily
By Jeffery Armstrong
The Riverdale Raiders scored 27 straight points in three quarters, breaking open a tight game to romp the North Clayton Eagles 41-21 Friday night in a non-region contest at Tara Stadium. The bitter rivals staged a great battle in the first quarter. After a three-and-out series by the Eagles, the Raiders (1-0) drove 60 yards in six plays for the game's first touchdown, a 14-yard scamper by sophomore running back Kevin Colbert with 6:36 remaining. North Clayton (0-1) came right back, as senior quarterback Ozier France engineered a 70-yard, five-play drive, culminating in a 57-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Dirk Engram. The extra point tied the game at seven. The Eagles' joy was short-lived, however, as Colbert took the ensuing kickoff, made several nice moves and ran 75 yards for a touchdown to give Riverdale the lead again, 14-7. North Clayton then went 80 yards in nine plays for another touchdown as the France-to-Engram connection hooked up again, this time from 52 yards out with 38 seconds remaining in the first. Engram was then penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct after the touchdown and North Clayton missed the tying extra point, keeping the score 14-13 in favor of Riverdale. Colbert again took the momentum away from the Eagles as he returned the ensuing kickoff 63 yards to the North Clayton 23 with 20 seconds remaining in the first. Only a nice hustle play from North Clayton's Nathaniel "Champ" Rainwater saved another Colbert kickoff touchdown. North Clayton was held scoreless until the 4:59 mark in the fourth quarter. North Clayton hurt itself in the first half, committing nine penalties for 74 yards, including 15 yards for Engram's penalty and five false-start penalties. "I'm very disappointed in our discipline," said a visibly upset North Clayton head coach Don Shockley. "We talk about being disciplined all the time. We're not a bad football team n we just kept making discipline mistakes. We'll correct that for sure; it may mean some guys sitting on the bench." Riverdale quarterback Rashad Nettles didn't have a great passing day (2-for-9, 31 yards, an interception), but he ran the team well. Nettles made a key 12-yard run on fourth-and-10 to keep a touchdown drive alive in the second quarter and he also ran 50 yards for a touchdown to put the Raiders up 28-13 at the half. Riverdale's Mario Swann, a freshman, scored from five yards out, senior fullback Anthony Edwards scored from two yards out and junior running back Doug Jennings also scored a rushing TD. France threw a touchdown pass to Kevin Battle and Dominique Randolph made the 2-point conversion for the Eagles' fourth-quarter score, making it 41-21. "I knew North Clayton would come out strong; after all, this is a heated rivalry. I'm really proud of how my guys fought when they made the score 14-13," said Raiders head coach Rodney Hackney. "With a new team, you don't know how they'll respond to something like that. My guys did well, even though the second half was a little disappointing."More like this story

Paula Deen Drops 30 Pounds In Six Months, Check Out Other Suddenly Slim Celebs (PHOTOS)
Paula Deen is shaping up and slimming down.
The Food Network chef, who revealed earlier this year that she's suffering from Type 2 diabetes, tells People magazine that she's lost 30 pounds in six months -- and is still counting.
"I do think differently now," Deen says. "I'm more aware."
How did the Southern gal do it?
The 65-year-old traded in the fatty dishes that made her famous for Greek salads and baked fish.
"It took me a couple of years to get to this point. If you make a few small changes, they can add up to big results," she says.
Deen went public with her diabetes struggle in January of this year, but endured a public backlash when it was revealed that she'd been diagnosed with the disease three years earlier.
Deen isn't the only celeb to shed some pounds. Click the pics to see other suddenly slim celebrities.

SECOND LIFE FOR DRESS OF THE MOMENT: For a teenage girl, often the most important part of prom is getting the perfect dress. But during tough economic times, big-ticket fashions are often passed over — and magazines are scaling back consumer marketing programs left and right. Bucking both trends, Modern Bride and Hearst Magazines' digital division have launched programs that will give prom dresses to young teens in need while connecting their readers and marketers to charity.
Modern Bride last Friday launched Project Bridesmaids, where young women donate their old bridesmaid dresses and formal gowns to Planet Hope, a charity run by Kelly and Sharon Stone (yes, that Sharon Stone). The charity will give the gowns to high school students nationwide who need dresses for the big dance.
"You know that every woman has at least one bridesmaid dress in their closet," said Modern Bride publisher Jennifer Hicks at the kickoff event, also attended by "Gossip Girl" actress Kelly Rutherford, who donated an Alice + Olivia dress, and Kim Raver from "Lipstick Jungle." Raver donated an "accessible and appropriate" Vivienne Tam dress. "I didn't want it too long or too short and have some mother or father really angry at me," she said. "That night, for a teenager, you remember for the rest of your life, so I wanted something Cinderella-esque."
The event included a silent auction that evening of celebrity dresses donated by Beyoncé Knowles, Fran Drescher, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Eva Longoria Parker and Julia Roberts, among others. On Saturday, more than 700 dresses were donated that were then available for 80 young girls from several local high schools. Modern Bride also roped in new advertisers Elizabeth Arden and Cuisinart, and re-signed Maybelline after many years of the brand sitting out the bridal category. Maybelline saw it as an opportunity to have consumers try its new Superstay line of makeup, and brought celebrity makeup artist Chuck Hezekiah to give makeovers.
Meanwhile, Hearst on Saturday will launch nationwide Donatemydress.org, a network of local organizations that collect slightly worn prom dresses. An event with celebrity spokesperson, "Twilight" actress Ashley Greene, will be held at Saks Fifth Avenue's New York flagship, and the retailer will also have drop-off boxes at its stores nationwide through March 31. In that time, participants will receive a 20 percent discount on purchases throughout the store.
Saks advertises in Hearst's fashion magazines but not in its teen titles or Web sites, and believes the program is an opportunity to reach younger consumers. "We have a strong special-occasion business, but young women attending prom are not our typical customers," said Kimberly Grabel, Saks' senior vice president of marketing. "We love this organization because the idea to share something as emotional as a prom dress with girls who can't afford [one] was a very strong tie-in for us."
Hearst will also launch an online auction on CharityFolks.com, where through March 27, teens can bid on prom dresses donated by Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Eva Amurri, Nikki Blonsky and others. All proceeds will benefit local chapters of Donatemydress.org.

The Heraklion Prefecture region
By far the largest of the Greek islands, Crete is almost a country in its own right, and as such offers more scope for exploring than could be exhausted in any single holiday. Villa Kalithea's location close to the island's geographical centre means that, in spite of its wonderfully tranquil setting, it is extremely well placed for seeing as much of the island as you fancy.
The most important attractions - the world-famous Minoan Palace of Knossos and Heraklion's Archaeological Museum - are just the shortest of drives away. Heading further east, you can explore the stunning Lassithi plateau with its distinctive windmills, the tiny isle of Spinalonga in the scenic Gulf of Mirabello, and numerous other Minoan sites including Gournia and Kato Zakros. To the west lie the majestic White Mountains and the atmospheric Venetian harbour towns of Rethymnon and Chania, whilst on the south coast you can visit the beachside caves of Matala and the splendid monastery at Preveli. And dotted all over the island you may stumble upon charming hill villages and picturesque fishing harbours.
The 18-hole championship course of the Crete Golf Club is just over half-an-hour's drive away near Hersonissos, whilst the water park Water City is closer still and provides a fun day out for all the family.
Those who prefer swimming in the sea can easily reach a variety of beaches by car; the nearest, at Amoudara, is just 15km away. The beaches along the north coast offer a full range of resort facilities including a selection of water sports and family entertainment. On the other side of the mountains, the south coast boasts many lesser-known and undeveloped beaches, as well as low-key resorts such as Matala with its distinctive beachside caves.
Pendamodi is a traditional rural village set in bucolic surroundings with spectacular mountain views. Nestling in the foothills of Crete's central mountain range, the village lies only 15km south of Heraklion, but its sleepy atmosphere could not be further from the hustle and bustle of the busy island capital.
The surrounding landscape is reminiscent of Tuscany, with ancient olive groves and extensive vineyards covering gently rolling hills as far as the eye can see. Life in the local villages retains a slow, dignified pace and tourism is by no means the main focus - although those visitors who do venture here are warmly welcomed.
Pendamodi's main focal point is the traditional village kafenion, just a short stroll from the villas. Offering a selection of simple dishes for those occasions when you neither feel like cooking, nor driving, it also provides an opportunity to socialise with the locals. The village also boasts two mini-markets for basic provisions, and the nearest taverna is approximately 10 minutes' walk away. A wider selection of shops and eating places can be found a short drive away in the neighbouring villages.

"A wonderful week away."
I stayed at the villa with my two young sons and found it to be clean and well equipped for a week of mainly self-catering. Jocelyne was a highlight of our holiday, unobtrusive, but helpful to the point of accompanying us to the emergency room in Heraklion. Pentamodi is a good base for seeing the sights of Heraklion without having to stay in the city itself, with beaches on the north and south coast an easy day trip.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly low rates offered by travel websites. Many hotels offer a "Best Rate Guarantee" and will beat rates advertised by travel websites! Try calling the hotel directly or viewing the website to get the details. For example, at The Point Orlando Resort the policy is to beat verified rates by 10%! That adds up to some serious savings and makes finding the best hotel rate simple...guaranteed!
Be sure to take a look at the specials and packages currently being offered by the hotel. Many hotels will offer seasonal packages that include breakfast, welcome drinks, or other goodies right in with the room!
Many hotels and resorts will offer special discounts to travelers who "like" or "follow" them on their social media accounts. These are also great ways to learn about the best and most up-to-date specials and deals that are being offered.
The majority of hotels and resorts offer special rates for travelers who are members of specific organizations like AAA, the Military, or AARP.
Accommodations prices fluctuate day-by-day based on the changes in demand throughout the year. Try visiting during the weekdays and avoiding the busiest seasons of the year in order to get the best rates possible.

Yes, we have no tomatoes. We have no tomatoes today.
Well, the signs at Wendy's restaurants in Shelby County sort of say that.
They tell customers that tomatoes only will be available on certain items and by request because of a worldwide tomato shortage.
Webb named RE/MAX top 10
When the idea of putting a campus for the Jefferson Community and Technical College in Shelby County came along 10 years ago, location was a key issue.
But the Shelby Industrial and Development Foundation put an end to that concern - acquiring acreage next to Shelby County High School that wasn't even for sale - and the school had its new home.
On Monday, JCTC officials said thanks to the foundation, unveiling a plaque that dedicated the school's community room in its honor.
Superb IPC LLC opened its doors in November, 2009 at 300 Isaac Shelby Drive, a facility previous owned and operated by Greenkote.
A partnership of former managers from Greenkote -- Michael Hesketh, Milton Sheehan and Bill Ramsey -- acquired all assets and provided the working capital to re-established the business.
Stacy Craig, Plant Manager of Superb IPC said that the facility currently has only six employees but plans to hire more as soon as business is awarded.
When Greenkote closed in January 2009 it employed 54 people.
This year, merchants in Shelby County are hoping that Black Friday will be a red-letter day.
Most are holding huge sales targeted for the launch of the Christmas shopping season, which officially gets under way today with a stampede of post-Thanksgiving bargain-hunters hitting the doors early and often in search of rare items and great prices.
But how does recovering from a recession affect retailers' hopes for a profitable season of sales?
Most in Shelby County are optimistic, because they say sales have slowly begun to pick up lately.
The hotel formerly known as the Holiday Inn Express on Club House Drive in Shelbyville, now operating as the Ritz Inn and Suites, was sold at auction Thursday for just less than $3 million.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation had taken the hotel into receivership last month because its former owners, JMG Hospitality LLC, owed more than $2 million in defaulted loans and also had been delinquent on its property taxes.

Bullishness is pervading equity markets before tomorrow's meeting of the European Central Bank.
Shares tracked by the Stoxx Europe 600 Index climbed to the highest level since January 2008. A regional measure of expected volatility, the VStoxx Index, slipped to a six-month low. One-month options in an exchange-traded fund of companies from Sanofi to Banco Santander SA are trading at the steepest discount in more than a year to three-month contracts, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Optimism has been spiraling higher for a month after Mario Draghi signaled he's comfortable with cutting interest rates at the ECB's meeting tomorrow. Pressure for a reduction got stronger yesterday after the European Union's statistics office said inflation slowed more than economists forecast in May.
"They are pricing in a much better outcome from the ECB meeting than they were a month ago," James Butterfill, who helps oversee $67 billion as the head of global equity strategy at Coutts & Co. in London, said in an interview. "When you combine that with markets making new highs, that suggests quite a positive outcome priced in for a decision, leaving markets vulnerable to any disappointment."
The ECB has prepared investors for extra stimulus when it announces the rate decisions tomorrow. "We are ready to act," ECB Vice President Vitor Constancio said on May 30. President Draghi said following the May 8 meeting that he is "comfortable with acting next time."
All but five of 52 economists surveyed by Bloomberg predict that the ECB will ease monetary policy tomorrow, according to a poll conducted from May 9 to May 15. Twenty-nine economists forecast the central bank will cut its benchmark rate and deposit rate at the same time.
Inflation Gauge
Euro-area inflation slowed to 0.5 percent in May from 0.7 percent in April, the statistics office in Luxembourg said yesterday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 38 economists was for a decline to 0.6 percent. The rate has been less than half the ECB's target for eight months.
Equities in the Stoxx 600 slipped 0.5 percent to 343.48 following the report, after closing on June 2 at the highest level since January 2008. The slide trimmed the 2014 gain to 4.6 percent. The gauge has increased 25 percent since the start of 2011, trailing an advance of 53 percent in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
One-month implied volatility for options on the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) reached 8.16 on May 30, compared with 11.36 for three-month contracts, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That was the widest spread since January 2013. Near-term options have gotten cheaper and cheaper since Draghi signaled the possibility of easing. One-month volatility stood at 12.07 on May 7, the data show, compared with 12.77 for the longer-dated contracts.
The VStoxx rose 0.5 percent to 16.61 at 9:36 a.m. in London today.
Equity Drawdowns
The cost of protection should be higher because slowing inflation suggests growth won't take hold and share prices have risen too much, according to Emmanuel Bourdeix, who is in charge of volatility investments at Natixis Asset Management.
"European equity markets have had a strong rally," Bourdeix said in a phone interview from Paris. Natixis Asset Management oversees 301 billion euros ($410 billion). "We do believe that deflation risks and growth disappointment could lead to drawdowns in European equity markets and hence somewhere a spike in euro-area volatility indices."
The euro-area's economy will expand 1.1 percent in 2014, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. Investors deposited $288 million in the EAFE fund in May, following two months of withdrawals, the data show.
Investor confidence is warranted with central banks around the world supporting financial markets as earnings for European companies improve, according to Joost van Leenders, a strategist at BNP Paribas Investment Partners in Amsterdam.
European Profits
Profit for Stoxx 600 companies will increase 9.3 percent to 22.39 euros a share this year, the most since 2007, according to the average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg.
"If they don't deliver, then you will see an increase in volatility and it would be justified," Van Leenders, who helps oversee $643 billion and recommends owning more European equities than reflected in indexes, said in an interview. "But low volatility is also a result of steady improvement in growth. We still believe that stronger growth and stronger earnings could push equities higher."

Jason Chaffetz on Health Care2012 Senate Challenger; Republicam House member (UT-3) | |
Pres. OBAMA: If you look at the health care process--overwhelmingly the majority of it actually was on C-SPAN, because it was taking place in congressional hearings in which you guys were participating. Now, I kicked it off, by the way, with a meeting with many of you, including your key leadership. I take responsibility for not having structured it in a way where it was all taking place in one place that could be filmed. How to do that logistically would not have been as easy as it sounds, because you're shuttling back and forth between the House, different offices, different legislators. But I think it's a legitimate criticism. So on that one, I take responsibility.
On SCHIP: I do not support expanding coverage in any way that would draw people away from private health plans.
[Sen. DeMint, R-SC]: The Democrats have Medicare on a course of bankruptcy. Republicans are trying to save Medicare & make sure there are options for seniors in the future. Medicare will not be there 5 or 10 years from now. Doctors will not see Medicare patients at the rate [Congress will] pay.
[Sen. Ayotte, R-NH]: We have 3 choices when it comes to addressing rising health care costs in Medicare. We can do nothing & watch the program go bankrupt in 2024. We can go forward with the President's proposal to ration care through an unelected board of 15 bureaucrats. Or we can show real leadership & strengthen the program to make it solvent for current beneficiaries, and allow future beneficiaries to make choices.
Opponent's Arguments for voting No:
[Sen. Conrad, D-ND]: In the House Republican budget plan, the first thing they do is cut $4 trillion in revenue over the next 10 years. For the wealthiest among us, they give them an additional $1 trillion in tax reductions. To offset these massive new tax cuts, they have decided to shred the social safety net. They have decided to shred Medicare. They have decided to shred program after program so they can give more tax cuts to those who are the wealthiest among us.
[Sen. Merkley, D-TK]: The Republicans chose to end Medicare as we know it. The Republican plan reopens the doughnut hole. That is the hole into which seniors fall when, after they have some assistance with the first drugs they need, they get no assistance until they reach a catastrophic level. It is in that hole that seniors have had their finances devastated. We fixed it. Republicans want to unfix it and throw seniors back into the abyss. Then, instead of guaranteeing Medicare coverage for a fixed set of benefits for every senior--as Medicare does now--the Republican plan gives seniors a coupon and says: Good luck. Go buy your insurance. If the insurance goes up, too bad.
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Pitts, R-PA]: Section 4002 of PPACA establishes a Prevention and Public Health Fund, which my bill, H.R. 1217, would repeal. The PPACA section authorizes the appropriation of and appropriates to the fund from the Treasury the following amounts:
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill represents the Republicans' newest line of attack to disrupt, dismantle, and to ultimately destroy the Affordable Care Act. For many years, Republicans have joined with Democrats in supporting programs to prevent disease, to promote health and, in turn, to cut health care costs. But today, the House will vote to end funding for the first and only Federal program with dedicated, ongoing resources designed to make us a healthier Nation.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. HEATH SHULER (D, NC-11): Putting a dangerous, overworked FDA in charge of tobacco is a threat to public safety. Last year, the FDA commissioner testified that he had serious concerns that this bill could undermine the public health role of the FDA. And the FDA Science Board said the FDA's inability to keep up with scientific advancements means that Americans' lives will be at risk.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes: Rep. HENRY WAXMAN (D, CA-30): The bill before us, the Waxman-Platts bill, has been carefully crafted over more than a decade, in close consultation with the public health community. It's been endorsed by over 1,000 different public health, scientific, medical, faith, and community organizations.
Sen. HARRY REID (D, NV): Yesterday, 3,500 children who had never smoked before tried their first cigarette. For some, it will also be their last cigarette but certainly not all. If you think 3,500 is a scary number, how about 3.5 million. That is a pretty scary number. That is how many American high school kids smoke--3.5 million. Nearly all of them aren't old enough to buy cigarettes. It means we have as many boys and girls smoking as are participating in athletics in high schools. We have as many as are playing football, basketball, track and field, and baseball combined.
Rep. FRANK PALLONE (D, NJ-6): In the last Congress, we passed legislation that enjoyed bipartisan support as well as the support of the American people. Unfortunately, it did not enjoy the support of the President, who vetoed our bill twice, and went on to proclaim that uninsured children can simply go to the emergency room to have their medical needs met. As the Nation moves deeper into a recession and unemployment rates continue to rise, millions of Americans are joining the ranks of the uninsured, many of whom are children. We can't delay. We must enact this legislation now.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. ROY BLUNT (R, MI-7): This bill doesn't require the States to meet any kind of threshold standard that would ensure that States were doing everything they could to find kids who needed insurance before they begin to spend money to find kids who may not have the same need. Under the bill several thousands of American families would be poor enough to qualify for SCHIP and have the government pay for their health care, but they'd be rich enough to still be required to pay the alternative minimum tax. The bill changes welfare participation laws by eliminating the 5-year waiting period for legal immigrants to lawfully reside in the country before they can participate in this program. In the final bill, we assume that 65% of the children receiving the benefit wouldn't get the benefit anymore. It seems to me this bill needs more work, would have benefited from a committee hearing. It doesn't prioritize poor kids to ensure that they get health care first.
The Contract from America, clause 7. Defund, Repeal, & Replace Government-run Health Care:
Defund, repeal and replace the recently passed government-run health care with a system that actually makes health care and insurance more affordable by enabling
The Club for Growth's "Repeal-It!" Pledge for incumbents states, "I hereby pledge to the people of my district/state to sponsor and support legislation to repeal any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, and replace it with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government."
Repeals the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, effective as of its enactment. Restores provisions of law amended by such Act.
Repeals the health care provisions of the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010, effective as of the Act's enactment. Restores provisions of law amended by the Act's health care provisions.
Congressional Summary: Declares that no funds are authorized to be appropriated to carry out the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA), and any amendments made by either such Act.
OnTheIssues Explanation:This bill proposes to defund ObamaCare, instead of repealing it. This bill uses Congress' "power of the purse" to undo the previously-passed law, while still leaving that law on the books. In contrast, H.R. 2 repeals ObamaCare rather than defunding it; and H.R. 4 attempts to undo ObamaCare one piece at a time.
