Stalfos are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda series. They are skeletal knights that attack with their bones or Swords.
Characteristics and Weaknesses
Stalfos are undead, skeleton warriors who can be found mostly in dungeons as mini-bosses. They tend to attack with either one or two Swords. Some of them also wield Shields to protect themselfs, although they can also use their Swords to block attacks. Stalfos from The Wind Waker wield clubs instead. Some Stalfos can also attack by throwing bones or their skull, or by jumping and then dropping above Link.
When defeating a Stalfos in Twilight Princess, it becomes a pile of bones. If Link does not get rid of the bones, the Stalfos will eventually regenerate. Link can drop a Bomb on the pile of bones to completely destroy the Stalfos. He can also throw the Ball and Chain to destroy the Stalfos, and then its bones when the ball comes back at him, or shoot a Bomb Arrow to defeat it with a single hit. In the Forest Temple from Ocarina of Time, Link fights a pair of Stalfos which must be defeated in quick succession. By not doing so, the first Stalfos that is defeated will eventually regenerate. When enough damage is dealt to a Stalfos in The Wind Waker, its body explodes, leaving its skull bouncing around the room. Link must then destroy the skull before its full body regenerates. Link can use a Bomb to quickly destroy the Stalfos body, and the Skull Hammer to destroy the skull in a single hit.

| Habitat: Earth Temple
Weakness: Its head
These skeleton warriors attack by violently swinging their gigantic maces around. Even if they're shattered to pieces, they'll reform unless their heads are destroyed.
|Stalfos (Figurine from The Minish Cap)
|Appears in dungeons. Blue ones jump, and red ones throw bones. See what happens when you remove their heads with the Gust Jar.
In The Adventure of Link, Stalfos come in three varieties: white, red, and blue. White Stalfos are considerably weaker than their red and blue counterparts, both of which possess jumping and thrusting attacks. In Oracle of Ages, there are two types of Stalfos: blue and orange. The blue variety is a standard Stalfos that simply walks around. The orange variety tends to jump away from Link's Sword slashes, and have the ability to toss bones. In The Minish Cap, the blue variety only jumps, while the red one uses bones as their primary weapon. Furthermore, a special kind of Stalfos known as the Blue Stalfos is the mini-boss of the Ancient Tomb. In Oracle of Seasons, both the blue and orange Stalfos also appear, with red and green varieties appearing as well. Each of them have their own unique abilities.
In The Adventure of Link, Parutamu are armored Stalfos with horned helmets. They behave like their red and blue counterparts, but are more durable and deal more damage.
Stalfos Knight
- Main article: Stalfos Knight
In A Link to the Past, a larger variety known as the Stalfos Knight appear in the Ice Palace. These Stalfos are much larger, tougher, and carry large Swords. Link cannot defeat them with his Sword alone, as he must use a Bomb to destroy ther remains.[1] Stalfos from The Adventure of Link are known by the Japanese name of Stalfos Knights, Stalfon.
Shrouded Stalfos
Link's Awakening and the Oracle series include Shrouded Stalfos alongside normal Stalfos. Shrouded Stalfos throw spears at Link, while Sword Stalfos fight with Sword and Shields in a similar manner to Darknuts.
Master Stalfos
- Main article: Master Stalfos
In Link's Awakening, the Master Stalfos is a large Stalfos that appears several times in the Catfish's Maw, where he steals the Hookshot from a Treasure Chest. His appearance and behavior is similar to the Stalfos Knights from A Link to the Past.
Ikana Stalfos
In Majora's Mask, Stalfos are the long-dead skeleton knights of the Ikana Kingdom, Igos du Ikana and his two lackeys.[2] To defeat both lackeys before they regenerate, Link must reflect light with his Mirror Shield onto their remains. Igos du Ikana is the largest and most powerful Stalfos in Majora's Mask. He can exhale a poisonous breath, detach his head which flies around the room trying to bite Link, and make his body invulnerable to attacks.
Skull Keeta, the captain of the Stalchildren, served under the King, Igos du Ikana.[3]
Big Dark Stalfos
- Main article: Big Dark Stalfos
Four Swords Adventures includes two new types of Stalfos: the Dark Stalfos and the Big Dark Stalfos. Dark Stalfos appear in the Temple of Darkness as invincible dark shadows wielding Swords. Only by entering the Dark World, their true form can be seen and fought. They fight like Chief Soldiers, with heavy lunging swings. Big Dark Stalfos are Knights of Hyrule who have been transformed into monsters and sent to the Dark World by Ganon. They hold the Royal Jewels needed to access the Tower of Winds, where Princess Zelda is held. They appear as boss enemies at the end of certain stages.
Other Appearances
|Ambiguously Canon Content
Game & Watch Zelda
In the Game & Watch Zelda, Stalfos hide themselves below the platform Link is on and attack upwards. However, their attacks are slow and in a sweeping motion, making them easy to dodge. Between one and four Stalfos appear on each floor. They cannot be attacked by Link.
Link's Crossbow Training
In Link's Crossbow Training, Stalfos appear in various Defender-type stages. Several of them hold Shields much like their Twilight Princess counterparts. Their Shields can be shot several times to be destroyed, allowing the Stalfos to be hit. The Shield can also be destroyed with a single Bomb Arrow.
Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland
- Main article: Captain Stalfos
In Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, the boss known as Captain Stalfos is the leader of a troupe of skeleton pirates. Although he shares his name with Stalfos, his crew members are not Stalfos, and are generally friendly.
|Non-Canon Information
Animated Series
In The Legend of Zelda animated series, Stalfos appear as one of Ganon's most common soldiers. For the most part, Ganon uses the Stalfos to carry him around on a platform since his teleportation powers are limited in the overworld. In "The Ringer," Ganon disguises several Stalfos in cloaks so that they may transport him to the Magician's Contest,[4] and in "The Missing Link," Ganon arrives to North Castle with Stalfos carrying him once again.[5] Unlike the games, Stalfos can be seen wielding a variety of weapons such as long rods, Bombs, maces, axes, Bows, and the usual Sword, out of which they can shoot Sword Beams from. Stalfos seem to be able to withdraw Bombs from their chest any time they please, as seen in "The Ringer" and in "The Missing Link." They usually attack in groups, although Link easily defeats them with just one Zap from his Crissword.
Like all of Ganon's minions, Stalfos are capable of speaking and have a rough, raspy voice. They appear in seven episodes out of the thirteen total: "The Ringer," "Sing for the Unicorn," "Doppelganger," "Stinging a Stinger," "Hitch in the Works," "The Missing Link," and "The Moblins are Revolting."
Captain N: The Game Master
Stalfos appear in two episodes of Captain N: The Game Master. Like in the Zelda animated series, they are capable of speaking, although they are only heard in one episode.[6] In "Quest for the Potion of Power," Link fights and defeats two Stalfos as he, Princess Zelda, and Kevin are making their way through the Parapa Palace. Stalfos also appear in "Having a Ball," where they confront Link, Zelda, Kevin, and Princess Lana while they are in the desert. However, they pose no real threat to the heroes since Kevin and Link easily dispose of them using the Zapper and the Sword, respectively.
The Legend of Zelda Comic
Stalfos make several appearances throughout the issues of The Legend of Zelda comic published by Valiant Comics. They first appear in "To the First Power" as one of the enemies that capture Link under the orders of a Wizzrobe. They appear again in "Queen of Hearts," where they battle against Link and Queen Seline to keep them from breaking the magic container that will give the queen her magical powers back. Stalfos are last seen as one of the monsters ambushing Princess Zelda after she fails in defeating Ganon in "Day of the Triforce."
The Shadow Prince
In The Shadow Prince, Princess Zelda, Link, and Charles of Moria encounter Stalfos when they accidentally fall into the Underground Tunnel, which is a maze infested with these skeletal warriors. After the fall, Link notices a piece of paper sticking out of a rock and tells Zelda and Charles he has found a map, hoping that it is not fake.
If Link thinks the map is fake, he will throw it away and tell Zelda and Charles to follow him.[7] With the Stalfos pursuing them, Link tries to get the group out of the tunnel, but he trips on a Stalfos since the tunnel is so dark. The page ends with a Game Over as Zelda cries to Link saying that he picked the wrong path, claiming that they will die at the hands of the Stalfos.[8]
However, if Link decides that the map is real, he will tell the Zelda and Charles to follow him after examining the routes just as the Stalfos begin to approach them.[9] Eventually, they safely exit back out to the woods, leaving the Stalfos howling at the end of the tunnel.[10]
Philips CD-i Games
Stalfos appear as enemies in Link: The Faces of Evil, Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, and Zelda's Adventure. In The Faces of Evil, a stronger variant called Fire Stalfos also appears, which has the ability to shoot fireballs from their swords.
In The Faces of Evil, Goronu raises these skeletal warriors from the dead and sends them to find and kill the living. He calls one "Sleepy Bones", a term that normally refers to someone lazy. Their cutscene shows them being given armor and swords to fight with as they reanimate.
A Link to the Past Comic
In the A Link to the Past comic, two Stalfos appear in the Ice Palace. When Link asks Kholdstare that he let him see the map of the Dark World, Kholdstare refuses and unleashes two Stalfos to attack Link. When the young hero sees that they keep re-spawning even after defeating them, he begins to focus his power on the Master Sword,[11] whose power causes for the Stalfos to be permanently defeated.
Ocarina of Time Manga
In the Ocarina of Time manga, one Stalfos (or, rather, the floating disembodied head of one) returns to Ganondorf to report an encounter with Link. Strangely, Ganon calls this Stalfos by the name of the Twilight Princess boss, Stallord.
Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, Stalfos appear as Captains. They are incorrectly referred to in-game as Stalchildren, which they lead in the battles they appear.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Stalfos in their Ocarina of Time incarnation appear as enemies. In the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, they appear in the Smash Run mode. In the Wii U version, shadowy Stalfos appear inside the Master Fortress. They are powerful enemies who can parry most attacks with their Shields and deal heavy damage with Sword slashes. They are vulnerable to attacks from above, below, and behind them. Stalfos can be grabbed in the Wii U version, but not in the 3DS version.
Stalfos also appear as a Trophy in the Nintendo 3DS version of the game.
Trophy Information
Stalfos is both singular and plural. Their name is a portmanteau of "stal-" and "fos," meaning "skeletal humanoid."
- According to Fado, a Stalfos is the result of someone getting lost in the Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time.[12]

A list of achievements for an Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas appeared on the Xbox Achievements website earlier today. It's safe to speculate from the contents of the list that an Xbox 360 version of San Andreas is headed to the system sometime in the near future.
Rockstar has yet to officially announce a 360 version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or comment on the leaked list. The game has been available for some time on the Xbox Live Marketplace as an Xbox original, but that version doesn't include achievements. It follows then that whatever Rockstar has in the works could be some kind of remastered version of San Andreas.
Would you buy a remastered version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the Xbox 360? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Foundation for Cancer Research announced today that Dr. Zhen-Yi Wang and Dr. Zhu Chen have been awarded the 7th annual Szent-Gyorgyi Prize for Progress in Cancer Research for their innovative research that led to the successful development of a new therapeutic approach to acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
By combining traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine, Drs. Wang and Chen have provided dramatic improvement in the five-year disease-free survival rate of APL patients - from approximately 25 percent to 95 percent - making this therapy a standard of care for APL treatment throughout the world, and turning one of the most fatal diseases into a highly curable one.
"I am so glad to see that the efforts we have devoted to research on leukemia these last several decades have led to solid clinical benefits to APL patients around the world," said Dr. Wang. "This award will inspire us as we continue our efforts to find more effective therapies to treat cancers."
"This is a great honor for Dr. Wang and me; it is quite humbling to know that our respected colleagues from many scientific disciplines have selected us for this prestigious award," said Dr. Chen, who also serves as China's Minister of Health. "Scientists across the globe are working every day to cure cancer. I hope our work may continue to inspire others."
A clinical researcher at the Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai in the early 1980s, Dr. Zhen-Yi Wang performed the first successful therapy on APL patients using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), which significantly increased the survival rate of patients with APL. Dr. Zhu Chen, a former student of Wang, made major contributions to the identification of the molecular mechanisms of both ATRA and arsenic trioxide in APL. He also demonstrated in clinical trials that arsenic trioxide, a compound used as a traditional Chinese medicine for over 2,

Chikara's Zelda the Great: Where a pigeon broke our hearts
Chikara made it's triumphant return to Chicago this past Saturday and the results were memorable to say the least. El Generico made his Chikara return and very nearly stole the show with The Shard, Colt Cabana got his win back from Mike Quackenbush in a clean and classy bout, 3.0 scored two points, Tim Donst continued his quest towards the Grand Championship, the Devastation Corporation destroyed Wayne and Garth, Fire Ant and assailANT started getting along (maybe?) and the Young Bucks retained the Campeonatos de Parejas thanks to some help from Delirous' army. It was an awesome, eventful show that I recommend everyone buy from Smart Mark Video when it comes out. Seriously, it was awesome and a must-see event.
While the show was great and an overall great time, there is one thing that will always stick with me from Zelda the Great that put a huge black mark on a fun night and bummed me out in a way that few things in wrestling ever have. On Saturday night Mr. Touchdown killed (?) Sapphire, the Mysterious and Handsome Stranger's loyal friend, tag team partner and feral pigeon. Please believe me when I tell you that it was the worst thing ever and I am being completely honest with you when I say that it was one of the saddest moments in the history of my wrestling watching life.
The match itself was classic Chikara. Music randomly started playing during the match which caused Scott Parker and Sugar Dunkerton to start dancing, Dasher used his "put his foot in his tights" submission hold on Icarus, there was a teased stand-off between Sugar and Dasher that was ruined by Icarus, Veronica giving The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger some jealousy causing looks that Mr. Touchdown and just tons of fun wrestling. At one point we had everyone in the match put each other in a submission hold (maneuvers like the mustache pull and the wet willie) that led to the greatest comedy moment in a Chikara ring this year (and that includes duck-duck-goose.) Everything was clicking, the crowd was begging for more and we were moments away from blowing the roof off of the packed Logan Square Auditorium.
But that didn't happen. Instead, Mr. Touchdown got Sapphire alone in the ring and he...
I killed @feralsapphire
— MR.TOUCHDOWN (@MarkAngelosetti) November 11, 2012
And then he Tebow'd.
Sugar was pissed, Dasher was pissed, Veronica was shocked that her man could do something like this, The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger was out of his mind with rage and the crowd was dead. The rest of the match was a blur.
I've been to a lot of wrestling shows in my life. I've been to good shows and I've been to bad shows, I've been to Wrestlemania and I've been to a high school gym with 30 people and a wrestler who pretended to be Steve Austin's brother Rick, but never in my life have a seen a crowd die like I saw Logan Square Auditorium die on Saturday night. It didn't die like a WWE crowd watching a Randy Orton match or even how some people in this year's Wrestlemania crowd after Daniel Bryan's match. It died like someone sucked the life out of it. It died like someone broke its heart.
Chikara is a hard thing to explain to people who only know mainstream wrestling. I think it's the best form of wrestling out there today and that everyone should give it a chance because if they give it a chance they will like it, but that is easier said than done. People are set in their ways and, honestly, it isn't very easy to sell people on a wrestling show where a feral pigeon can compete in a match. Yet that feral pigeon is exactly why they should.
On Saturday night Chikara did more to make us care about Sapphire than any other wrestling promotion has done to make me care about any one all year long. Mr. Touchdown might be the most hated rudo in Chikara right now and I want to see him pay for what he did. I want The Mysterious and Handsome Stranger to get his revenge and I will gladly pay money to see him attempt it.
We are living in a golden age of match quality right now and there are tons of places you can watch great wrestling. Chikara has great wrestling, but that's not why you should watch Chikara. You should watch Chikara because they have great characters who tell great stories. They tell stories that make you care about people (and insects and pigeons) and the things that happen in their lives. Chikara makes you feel.
When I think of this show in a couple of years I won't remember who won that match or most of the matches on the card, but I will remember Sapphire. I'll remember the feeling I had when Mr. Touchdown did what he did. I'll remember the sadness and that's probably the very best thing I can say about Chikara. You can see great matches anywhere, but only in Chikara can you see great matches with people you care about and outcomes that might break your heart. Isn't that what wrestling is supposed to be all about?

While many American women were living as housewives, wanting for nothing and stuck in routine, Leonie Gilmour was leading an unconventional life as an editor, teacher, lover and mother—in Japan. Hisako Matsui's 2010 biopic takes us through the life of the titular character, best known for being the mother of artist and architect Isamu Noguchi. Beginning in New York in 1901, we're introduced to Leonie (Emily Mortimer) as she accepts a job as editor for a Japanese poet, Yone Noguchi. Leonie soon becomes pregnant by Yone and later moves to Japan, where she becomes pregnant with another man's child, who she raises on her own. Mortimer turns in a strong and resolute performance, and the film features lush shots of leafy trees and snow-capped mountains, but it suffers from a plodding plot and a near-complete lack of relationship development. In one scene, Leonie says she loves a friend's children as her own, even though we've seen no interaction between her and the kids. In another, she pronounces a woman her best friend—never mind that they've hardly conversed. These sentiments are unearned and slightly baffling, which detracts from the film's relatability.

'A Safety Net'
Submitted by GOKIDS on January 29, 2013 - 1:28pm
Babies who enter the world earlier than expected often experience delays in their developmental and physical growth, but a new clinic at Cardon Children's Medical Center in Mesa is helping level the playing field for these youngsters.
The Neurodevelopmental Follow Up Clinic serves infants who were born prematurely at 35 weeks or less and have spent time in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), as well as any child age 0 to 3 whose development is of concern to the primary care provider, according to Judith Beck, senior manager for Cardon Children's Pediatric Rehabilitation Center. Children may be referred by a pediatrician or another community provider, and most make their first visit to the clinic, part of Cardon Children's EDGE (Evaluation, Development, Growth and Enrichment) Programs, by the recommended age of 4 months, or earlier if necessary.
"The clinic is kind of a safety net, if you will, to make sure nothing goes awry for these little ones," says Beck, adding that the clinic has served about 200 children in the 18 months that the program has been piloted. "The quicker the intervention, the quicker you can close the gap in their development and the better the outcome is."
The clinic's professional staff includes a neurologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, board-certified nurse practitioner and a speech-language pathologist whose focus is to get a child's fine motor, language and communication skills, in addition to many others, on track. A child referred to the clinic will see all the specialists at an initial assessment, and Beck says this "one-stop-shop" approach is a huge timesaver for families.
Ultimately, the goal is to get these so-called "high-risk" youngsters ready for preschool, and by the time they do go to school, "they may not need additional help," she says.

Physical and Developmental Growth? It's All in the Numbers!
Do you feel like a remedial math student when the pediatrician starts using percentages to talk about your child's growth? It's not as difficult to understand as you might think, says Jennifer Yuen, D.O., a pediatric neurologist for Banner Children's at Cardon Children's Medical Center. When doctors talk about a child's physical growth — namely in terms of height, weight and head circumference — being in the 50th percentile just means the child is in the middle of the growth curve, right where doctors like most children to be.
"Some children are smaller and some are bigger, but whatever part of the curve they start out on, that's the curve the child should grow on," Yuen says. "If the child grows outside of his or her curve, that's when there is a possible cause for concern."
For example, if a child whose head circumference typically has been growing in the 10th percentile suddenly shoots up to the 70th percentile, a doctor will be concerned as to why the head seems to be growing so quickly. Likewise, if that same head circumference suddenly plunges to below the third percentile, the doctor will be concerned why the head is not growing. In either case, additional testing likely will be conducted to determine what is causing the distinct difference in growth.
When doctors look at developmental percentages, however, Yuen says everything is based on numbers. A number, or developmental quotient (which is different from an IQ) of 100 means a child is doing everything he or she is supposed to do for his or her age. Scores below 100 are assigned to different ranges: borderline, mild, moderate, severe and profound impairment. However, the system has its nuances.
"If a child is said to be 50 percent behind, that does not necessarily mean the child is half his age developmentally," Yuen says. "And a percentage, when talking about development, is not necessarily carried over from year to year."
As always, she says, parents who have questions about their child's growth should speak with their primary care provider.

Poosey multi-use trails are a series of 13 interconnecting loop trails, totaling 24 miles that take you through forested rolling hills surrounding the Grand River Valley. The trails are open to hiking, mountain biking and horses. The conservation area, containing the trails consists of 5,738 acres

I did this trail with my 4-H Backpacking group. It took us three days to complete trekking an average of 6 miles a day. We didn't do all the loops so we only hiked 18 miles. Each of us had a backpack weighing 20-25 pounds so the hills (which there are many of) were pretty hard on us. I would do it all again though in a heartbeat.

Took a group of scouts there for three days, fished, hiked, mountain biked, used the gun range. Well rounded actitivies available. Hiked about 12 miles there. Nice woods and some space to roam.

Adams County plans to hired a Maryland-based firm to perform a countywide economic report that officials say will be an essential component to a revised county comprehensive plan.
The county commissioners approved using $29,840 in community block grant money for the demographic study, which will look at the county's economic strengths and weaknesses and target areas for development. TischlerBise Inc., a fiscal, economic and planning consulting firm, will examine the county's strategic position in relation to adjacent counties and Maryland, officials said.
"We have plenty of local data and census information," said Andy Merkel, comprehensive planning manager for the county. "What we don't have here is true economic expertise. This is to show us where we stand in terms of those things. This is what they (TischlerBise) do for a living."
Along with the TischlerBise study, the county plans to send out surveys next month to municipalities, civic groups and business organizations to get local feedback on the perceived economic strengths and needs in the county. The information from those surveys will be compared to the findings from the TischlerBise report.
"We want to see where they match and what the differences are, so when we move forward with economic development we're not targeting industries and areas that we can't support," Merkel said.
Adams County Director of Planning Nick Colonna emphasized the importance of partnering with the municipalities to plan for the county's growth.
"That's the point of a strong economic plan. Now it's a common goal," he said.
The Adams County Council of Governments' legislative committee listed economic development as the No. 2 priority, behind unfunded mandates, during a presentation last month.
"The study couldn't come at a better time. They are kind of asking us what can we do to stimulate that and we will be able to tell them," Adams County Economic Development Corp. President Robin Fitzpatrick said.
All of it will lay the groundwork for a complete update to the county's comprehensive plan, which serves as a guideline for future residential, industrial, preservation and transportation development. The plan was last revised more than 20 years ago, officials said.
"Our old plan is not adequate. It served us well," Colonna said.
Colonna said it would take as much as 18 months to develop a final draft of the new comprehensive plan. But along the way, specific proposals that can be implemented will be recommended to the commissioners, he said.
Fostering economic development has been one of the stated priorities for the county commissioners. They said Thursday the TischlerBise study would help indicate where the county should direct its resources.
"We felt efficient planning was essential for us to move ahead," Commissioner Randy Phiel said.
"We're going to find some useful things about ourselves," Commissioner Marty Qually said.
Merkel and Colonna described the economic studies as the first step in updating the county's overall development plan.
"It's to find out who we are and how competitive we are," Colonna said. "It's a different approach and different take that is already paying dividends."
TischlerBise was one of 13 companies the county interviewed to do the study. Since it is not construction related, the county did not have to accept the lowest bidder.
"It was more about finding the company that is the right fit for our county," said Qually, who sat in on selection interviews.
TischlerBise has 120 days to complete the report.

Best Private Walking Tour: Budapest and Hungary's History
- Location:Budapest, Hungary
- Duration:3 hours 30 minutes (approx.)
- 3-hour historical walking tour of Budapest
- Learn about Hungary's communist history from your expert guide
- See sites related to WWI, WWII, the Iron Curtain and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956
- Hear vivid stories about the revolution's "ground zero" as you visit the Hungarian Parliament Building and Liberty Square
- Explore an exhibit that showcases cultural relics with communist propaganda
- Check out Budapest's UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites like Andrassy Avenue and Heroes' Square
What You Can Expect
Your expert guide will share stories about life behind the Iron Curtain–how kids were raised and families lived, where and how people traveled, the difficulties in getting a passport–and many other revealing experiences.
Learn the story of Hungary's actions during WWI and WWII, and about the new communist government that took power after WWII. That government's heavy-handed leadership style led to a revolt against the government and the Soviet policies it embraced, culminating in the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. You'll follow your guide through streets where important protests, speeches and marches of the revolution were held. At Liberty Square, you'll find the city's last remaining tribute to the former Soviet Union.
The area surrounding the Hungarian Parliament Building is another important landmark; here bullets were fired and subsequent actions contributed to the civilian revolt. Hear about the communist politician Imre Nagy, who refused to follow the orders of Moscow and was executed for treason post-revolution.
You can visit a private exhibition that features items from Hungarian home life, displaying the extensive reach of propaganda in communist Hungary. You can check out the collection of communist-related items such as red and blue passports, registration books for party members, pins, medals and currency.
During your tour, you'll stop at a local cafe for pastries and coffee, tea or mineral water and enjoy further discussion with your guide. At the end of the three hours, you'll gain an understanding of recent Hungarian history and how the last century's events have shaped present day Hungary. Your tour will end in central Budapest and you can choose to continue exploring at your leisure.

Law Archives
Environmental Law via CRS
After graduation (CRS, '99), I worked for Governor Davis for a year doing environmental legislation and land use work. Realizing that I enjoyed working with environmental issues at the state government level but that I was too far from my own native state, I returned to New York for law school at Pace Law School. Pace has one of the best environmental law programs in the country, and it was a great fit for me. Surprisingly, I was the first Cal grad to come through the school.
I've been with the New York State Attorney General's office for four years now, in the Environmental Protection Bureau. My job pulls on my science background, as I work with hazardous waste remediation issues, and also the policy background which was part of my curriculum in CRS. If anyone out there is considering a career in environmental law, I'd be happy to chat about it!

Burberry Fall 2010 Campaign
It's 24 degrees Celsius and sunny outside – a lovely summer day and perfect patio weather. And yet – thanks to Burberry's Fall 2010 campaign – I find myself longing for cooler temperatures and Fall outerwear. The collection is beyond perfection to me and the campaign does an amazing job of showcasing it. I'm dying over the shearling jackets and military trenches…all that's missing are some fierce shoes to match!

Studying abroad in Europe this summer? Here's your big opportunity to see as much of the continent as you can. We've put together a list of seven impressive cities you'll want to explore.
1. Prague
Well, someone had to rival the Eiffel Tower. Although the Petrin Tower itself is not as tall as its French rival, the hill and the tower combined match its height. It's the best place to get a view of the entire, sprawling city of Prague. Tour the massive medieval Prague Castle, and while you're there, make sure to pick up some sweet bread (we promise you won't be disappointed). Spend an early morning watching the sunrise on the famous Charles Bridge. Another tip to keep in mind? If you're not trying all of the delicious street food in Wenceslas Square, you're not doing Prague right.
Must-see attractions: Petrin Tower, Astronomical Clock, Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square
2. Budapest
Budapest is home to Hungarian goulash, a fairy-tale castle that Cinderella would be envious of and Turkish bathhouses. While Budapest might not be the most obvious destination in Europe, it's well worth the trip. Be sure to visit the House of Terror, a memorial museum for the Hungarian people who survived two terrorist regimes. And if you're trekking to Buda Castle after, be ready for the hike. Keep in mind that you can reward yourself with a Turkish mineral bath later! What other city can you walk across the Danube River on the Chain Bridge from the western bank of Buda to the eastern bank of Pest?
Must-see attractions: Heroes' Square, Buda Castle Hill, The Chain Bridge, House of Terror and Széchenyi Baths
3. London
Get in the Charles Dickens or Harry Potter state of mind and visit London. It's known for its fogginess but also for its historical sites and distinct culture. Drink some tea, eat some fish 'n' chips and take the Underground (translation: subway) to see this historic city. Be sure to experience the Globe Theatre, the place where Shakespeare's famous plays originated more than 500 years ago. If you fancy a show, check out the West End, the largest theatre district next to Broadway. And be sure to pack your umbrella!
Must-see attractions: British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar's Square, The Tower of London and the Camden market
4. Dublin
Visit the historic capital of Ireland and learn that to the city than St. Patrick's Day. Get lost in the picturesque Trinity College campus and go see the Book of Kells, a famous illustrated Bible from 800 A.D.Make sure to spend time in Temple Bar, the cultural hub of Dublin. Sit in a café, get some authentic corn beef and cabbage and listen to live Irish folk music. Then buy as many green and Celtic souvenirs as you can carry home!
Must-see attractions: Trinity College Library, Temple Bar, Guinness Factory (for those of legal drinking age) and St. Patrick's Cathedral
5. Paris
Get to know t a weekend! You can pass your days strolling down the Of course you'll want to eat your fill of rich French meals and macaroons. And your trip to Paris isn't complete without going to the top level of the Eiffel Tower at night. Rumor has it, if you go to the top, you will return to Paris.
Must-see attractions: Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Versailles (not technically in Paris, but well worth the 30 minute trip), Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe
6. Venice
You've seen enough movie scenes with romantic orchestra music and gondolas in charming Venice. Now's your chance to make it a reality. The city, made up of 118 islands, was at its height during the Renaissance, so if you don't notice the architecture or go to a few art museums, you're missing out. St. Mark's Basilica is where the famous gold horse statues live and is one of the main gathering places in the city. Venice is a good alternative to Rome if you're looking for more of the Italian culture and fewer tourists. Be sure to eat your way through the Rialto Market and walk along the Bridge.
Must-see attractions: Grand Canal, St. Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace, Rialto Market, Torre dell'Orologio and Campanile
7. Vienna
Get lost in the stunning and intricate architecture of Vienna, the capital of Austria. Marvel at the Imperial Palace and follow it by touring the grand State Opera House. And if you're feeling glamorous, go see an opera or symphony for yourself. Love zoos? Get a little more up close and personal with the animals at the Vienna Zoo, known for being the world's oldest zoo. The animals aren't as hidden behind concrete and glass as they are in the U.S. Be sure to take a half hour of your day to grab some dessert at Café Sacher and sit in a coffee house with a newspaper – you'll fit right in with the locals.
Must-see attractions: Imperial Palace, State Opera House, Vienna Zoo, Café Sacher and Kunsthistorisches Museum
