Hamlet Theme of Religion
For a play about incest and murder, Hamlet registers many of the 16th century's religious anxieties, like the effects of the Protestant Reformation on Christian ideas about mortality and the afterlife. And it also seems to be in basic conflict with itself: how can a play about murder, suicide, and revenge square with Christian notions of acceptance, Providence, and forgiveness? Well, maybe they can't—and maybe that's why Hamlet drags his feet for so long.
Questions About Religion
- Why are the castle guards afraid of the Ghost? What is it? Where does it claim to come from?
- How do Hamlet's ideas about religion and spirituality shape the way he sees and reacts to the world? Do his attitudes shift throughout the play?
- How "Christian" is this play, really? Is there anything identifiably Christian about it, or could the characters be praying within any religion?
- What does Hamlet mean when he says "we defy augury" at 5.2.213?
Chew on This
Hamlet is a play that dramatizes the spiritual uncertainty and religious confusion of sixteenth century Europe.
Shakespeare's play weaves together Christian attitudes toward murder with the classic tenets of revenge tragedy, which can't always be reconciled; this makes the play all the more dramatic and complex.

One of Austin's true treasures is Barton Springs Pool, and now that summer is upon us, the cold, clean water is as inviting as ever. But did you know you can swim there for free?
Most swimmers go to Barton Springs during the afternoon hours, when admission is $3 for adults, $2 for kids aged 12-17, and $1 for children under 12 and seniors. But if you go between the hours of 5 a.m. and 9 a.m., admission is free.
There is no lifeguard for the first few hours, from 5 a.m. until 8 a.m., each morning, but starting at 8 a.m. guards are present. The hours of operation for the pool are 5 a.m.-10 p.m., seven days a week, though the pool is closed on Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. for cleaning.
Parking is $3 per day March through September.

Chapter Three
SarEr sat in the back of the black Mercedes counting back from a hundred. His temper was running high and the need to lash out was strong. He hated it when his father pulled him back home this way. Treating him like a child when he clearly wasn't. Humiliating him in front of all those people, what was the need of such a show of power? One bodyguard would have been fine. Ten men! Closing his eyes, he took in a deep breath and restarted his counting.
The car made a sharp turn making him open his eyes and reach for the door handle to keep steady. The fact that he needed to hold on at all should have clued him in on the danger he was in, and how fast the car was going, but he didn't want to think about it. All he knew was that they had pulled him back from a place he enjoyed. Being with Zun and Xiao Wei was like going to paradise. Shaking his head, he glared at the approaching high black gates. Five armed guards prowled the gates, their eyes watchful. The moment they saw the entourage of cars, the black gates slid open smoothly to reveal pristine manicured grounds.
When he'd been five years old, he'd looked forward to coming back home each time his father would take him out on an outing or even just a short walk to the town. But now that was gone. His mother had been alive then, and the excitement of telling her everything he'd seen had been a highlight in his life. She'd loved laughing at his tales. The sound of her laugh still lingered in his memories. It had been infectious and lively. An image of the slender, elegant Ariel Nan flitted in his memory and SarEr shook his head to send it away. He really didn't want to think about his mother right now. There was always a very dark void surrounding her in his head. All he remembered was one day she'd been planning a birthday party for him and the next he'd been standing beside his father at her funeral holding her picture. Frowning, he took in his surroundings with a resigned attitude.
The Nan Estate was no longer a home but a gilded prison to him, designed to keep everyone out as much as keep those inside in. Build on ten acres of land on the outskirts of the little rental city, the westernized mansion was built by the beach and equipped with all the modern security gadgets that technology could offer in this century. As though the master of the estate didn't trust the technology, men were posted around the place to guard the gates and the house. SarEr always felt like he was walking through some barracks instead of his home. His father's paranoia seemed to have escalated after his mother's death since she'd been killed in the house, a gunshot to her back. After her funeral, Choi Yang Nan had turned his house into a fort.
The black Mercedes drove up to the main entrance and stopped by the stairs. A guard immediately opened the door for SarEr and he got out with a grim expression. There was no point asking why he was home. Obviously, someone had rung in another death threat. The story of his life, he scoffed. Storming up the steps, he walked into the already open front door and through the foyer. The butler, who was also another bodyguard, indicated the office his father used. SarEr headed for the double doors with determination, not bothering to knock, he pushed the doors open with restrained violence.
There were three men who sat around his father's desk in deep discussion. They all glanced up when they saw him. Keeping his gaze firmly on his father's unaffected one, he crossed his arms against his chest.
"Leave us," SarEr said quietly to the three men. Now that he was here, his blood was boiling at a very dangerous temperature. He was tired of this, tired of being tied down by who he was and the people his father worked with. He deserved a free life.
The men glanced back at his father for confirmation. Choi Yang nodded in agreement and the men got up and left the room without another word making sure to close the door. SarEr glared at his father from where he stood. He feared if he moved even an inch he might start ranting wildly.
"Are you going to spend every day of your life angry with me, SarEr?" Choi Yang asked in a deceptively gentle tone.
SarEr was momentarily taken aback by that tone. He hadn't heard it in ages, and hearing it now was not helping the situation. He didn't want his anger diluted. He needed for them to have a shouting match about this. It couldn't keep happening. He was twenty years old, and life had to be more than death threats and bodyguards.
"Take it away," SarEr said through gritted teeth. "Stop trying to control me, I really hate it. I'm not a child anymore."
Knowing exactly what SarEr was talking about, Choi Yang leaned back in his chair and shook his head. "No."
"Father, you have to free me sometime. I can't live like this forever," SarEr said frustrated by his father's continued calm composure. He was starting to feel like an idiot with all the anger boiling inside him. "Stop punishing me this way."
"I am not punishing you. I'm keeping you safe. People want to hurt you to get to me, and I won't allow it. Besides, look at you right now? How can you tell me you're not a child when you look like that?"
SarEr glanced down at his shorts and sleeveless top. He was in disarray, sweaty and the dressing down made him look younger, but that still didn't mean he should be denied his free time.
"I was playing a game with Zun. You allowed that, don't take it away." SarEr shook his head unable to understand why he had to keep suffering for the sake of the Yang Nan business.
"I won't, but you have to take the security. Remember, give and take, SarEr. That is how we compromise; you need to keep your end of the bargain." Choi Yang shrugged and swung his chair gently from side to side. "You're important to me, I can't lose you."
"I don't want to live like this anymore," SarEr protested. Damn his father and his deals. It had taken quite a bit to reach that stupid compromise to have it thrown back in his face now. He shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. That feeling of being in prison returned and he let out a harsh breath hoping for salvation. Suddenly he didn't care who wanted him dead. If they were going to try then he was giving them permission. Just so that it would be over and done with. He would do anything to get away from living like this.
"You are who you are, SarEr, you can't escape it no matter where you go. Isn't that why you got those tattoos on your wrists? You've even branded yourself that you're my son," Choi Yang said firmly. "Accept it and stop fighting it. This will all end up being yours anyway, you should start preparing for it."
Turning his wrists over, SarEr stared at the tattoos on his inner wrists. They were kanji symbols of his name and his father's name. His father had been furious with him when he got them. It had been a rebellion of sorts after evading yet another kidnap attempt. His father had called it a crime against his body. Looking at his father now and that stable firm gaze, he understood one thing. No matter how much he raged or yelled, the bodyguards would remain, they would even increase if things got worse. There was nothing to be done about that. Sighing, SarEr capitulated.
"What happened this time?" he asked with resignation. He wasn't even sure he wanted to know. He already knew the drill. Having too much money and power in the right places also meant carrying around burdens of unsatisfied business partners, jealous people and sick psychos who just wanted to kidnap for money.
"A report came from the security team, they got some threatening letters from someone unknown," Choi Yang explained quietly. "I think the investigation into your mother's death is prompting the letters. I'm afraid we have a problem within the organization itself."
SarEr winced. He'd almost forgotten about that. His mother's murder was still not solved. His father kept overturning stones that sometimes meant threats to stop probing for the culprit. It scared him to think about it. He wished his father would stop looking into it. But how could he tell him? His mother deserved justice. Swallowing hard, he asked quietly, "Do you have a suspect?"
"The investigators are saying she would have known the person. Otherwise, the entire estate would have been alerted if it were someone we didn't know. Whoever it is is also aware of my investigations and I'm afraid it's putting you in danger as well."
SarEr shook his head. He always tried not to ask about the details, because when he did, the answers made him angry. He didn't want to imagine that someone he knew had killed her. Cursing under his breath, he ran a hand down his face. Damn it, how he hated the reality of dealing with his mother's murder. It hurt to think about her. It hurt more to watch his father try to get justice for her. "I'll be in my rooms."
"Don't leave the estate, SarEr. Don't give Han a hard time today," Choi Yang warned.
SarEr glanced at his father for a moment, noting the frown on the older man's forehead. His father was a handsome man, in his mid forties. He had an arrogant tilt to his chin and his eyes were sharp under the reading glasses that were resting on the bridge of his nose. He wore his hair long, and in a queue at the back of his head. SarEr remembered playing with it when he'd been young and Choi Yang had carried him. Those days his father's smile had come readily, now the man's lips were always set in a grim line. He missed his father's smile as much as he missed his mother's laugh. Judging from the recent events, he doubted he was going to be seeing it any time soon. Giving a shrug, he bowed slightly to his father and turned heading for the door. So much for his anger, he thought as he closed it. He'd get a shower and go to sleep, tomorrow he had two hours with Zun, he could hold on until then.

Can we inspect the units in a building?
This question was asked at a recent class,
Can our board of administration adopt a rule making it mandatory to provide the association with a key to their unit, even if their governing documents do not contain such a provision?
There is arbitration supporting this position:
In Costa Del Sol Condo Ass. V. Morrell the arbitrator concluded that:
"The right of access granted by this section FS 718.111 (5) is broad enough to support a requirement that unit owners must provide keys to their unit to the association."
And in Costa Bella Ass. Inc. v. Scutieri and Simmons where the arbitrator stated:
"The right of access of the association is provided for the protection of the unit owner, and a key may be required for the same because, in the event of an emergency, precious minutes could be lost if the association had to find an owner or neighbor (as suggested by respondents as alternatives to providing a key) or resort to a locksmith or breaking the door down.
What made this issue even more interesting was the reason why they wanted access to the units.
The association consists of 8 buildings. The water bills in 7 of the buildings were approximately the same except for one building where the bills were almost double. The board decided to inspect all the units in that building to check for leaking faucets and toilets. 2 of the 12 owners would not allow the board to enter their units.
Does the board have the right to enter the units?
What do you think?

Panama City Beach - The student who nominated this week's Golden Apple award winner says this teacher has inspired her to become an educator herself one day. Alison Moreira is a 5th grade teacher at Breakfast Point Academy on Panama City Beach.
In Ms. Moreira's class simple ingredients create a recipe that turns difficult scientific lessons into easy to comprehend concepts. She uses hands-on experiments to keep students engaged and excited to learn. "They want to touch and use their hands and get dirty and get messy. That is how they remember what they learned... when they touch everything and really get into the activity," she said.
She believes building a relationship with a student is key to helping them succeed academically. "I only accept the best from them and I put the expectation really, really high and they will do whatever it takes to meet those expectations," said Ms. Moreira.
"She looks at their needs and does whatever is needed to ensure that the kids are successful. That is both academically and behaviorally. Students who in the past have had behavior problems do not have them because she connects with those children," said Breakfast Point Principal Denise Kelley. "She helps us through anything we have to go through," said student Jordan Toddy.
"In 5th grade drama is top of the line and she just pushes it out of the way," said student Darcie Hooker, who nominated Ms. Moreira for the Golden Apple award. It's because of Ms. Moreira that Darcie hopes to become a teacher one day. "I love Ms. Moreira to death, she is my inspiration she is very encouraging and loving. She explains things so well. When I grow up I want to follow her in her footsteps," read Darcie's nomination. "It makes everything you do everyday worth it. That is the best reward, hearing what your students have to say," said Ms. Moreira.
And according to Darcie, if school were a game of baseball: "She is our home run." Congratulations to Ms. Moreira, this week's Golden Apple award-winning teacher.

Malcolm Delaney and Evgeny Voronov led the winners with 15 points apiece and Victor Claver added 13. Joe Ragland led Karsiyaka with 15 points, Colton Iverson added 12, while Justin Carter had 10 for the guests.

Lokomotiv got within 30-35 at halftime and a huge dunk by Claver gave the hosts a 39-37 lead soon after the break. Delaney stepped up for Lokomotiv to make it a double-digit lead, 52-42, at the end of the third. Lokomotiv improved its margin to 69-48 and cruised to another win.
It took Evgeny Voronov 4 seconds to get Lokomotiv going with a layup. Justin Carter split free throws and a close basket by Victor Claver gave the hosts a 4-1 lead. Ragland took over with a three-pointer off the dribble. Kerem Gonlum also struck from downtown before Ragland followed a layup with his second triple. As Lokomotiv struggled to score, another three-pointer by Ragland prompted the hosts to call timeout at 4-12 after a 0-11 run. Voronov shined with a one-handed floater, which Claver followed with a triple. Voronov scored again before Justin Carter split foul shots and a three-pointer by Josh Carter boosted the guests' lead to 11-16. Kyrylo Fesenko shined with a big dunk and Malcolm Delaney added a jumper to bring Lokomotiv within 15-16. Claver scored in transition, but another triple by Ragland put Karsiyaka back ahead, 17-19. A dunk by Colton Iverson fixed the score at 17-21 after 10 minutes.
Iverson drew a couple of shooting fouls and made all 4 free throws attempts early in the quarter. Iverson kept pushing Karsiyaka with a wild three-point play that made it a double-digit game. A jumper by Kenan Sipahi capped a 0-14 run and caused Lokomotiv to stop the game at 17-30. Aleksey Zozulin tried to change things with a three-pointer and Sergey Bykov added a jumper from the elbow before Karsiyaka called timeout at 22-30. Chris Singleton managed to stop Iverson down low, but Ragland and Juan Palacios kept the guests way ahead. Claver beat the shot clock with an off-balance jumper off the glass and Delaney added 4 free throws to make it 28-33. Gonlum shined with a fast break layup, but Delaney hit a jumper off the dribble to keep Lokomotiv within 30-35 as both teams headed back to the locker rooms.
Both teams struggled to score after the break until Delaney made free throws. Gonlum kept pushing Karsiyaka with a backdoor layup to give the guests a 33-37 edge. Karsiyaka had problems circulating the ball and Voronov stepped up for Lokomotiv with a driving layup and Delaney found Claver for an easy basket that tied it at 37-37. Claver dunked off a steal in the passing lanes, after which Karsiyaka called timeout. Iverson split free throws, but Lokomotiv excelled on defense led by Dontaye Draper and Claver. Delaney took over with a driving layup and Fesenko added a two-handed put-back slam that boosted the hosts' lead to 43-38. Delaney hit foul shots, but Ragland stepped up with a driving layup. However a three-pointer by Draper boosted his team's lead to 48-40. Fesenko took over late in the quarter, but a layup by Ragland kept Karsiyaka within 52-42.
Iverson took over with a big dunk in traffic early in the quarter. Andrey Zubkov quickly answered with a driving layup and a fast break basket by Draper made it a 12-point game. Chris Singleton swished a six-meter jumper that caused the visitors to call timeout at 58-44. Baygul tried to change things with a driving basket, which Voronov matched with a one-handed floater. Zubkov made free throws and added a fast break layup that sealed the outcome, 64-46. Voronov hit foul shots and bettered Justin Carter's dunk with a three-pointer for a 69-48 Lokomotiv lead. Justin Carter dunked again, but Lokomotiv started to use longer possessions to run the game clock down. Nothing changed in the final three minutes, as Lokomotiv cruised to its fourth win in as many games.

Villamartín Travel guide
Villamartín : Michelin's recommendations
Located 25km from Arcos de la Frontera, Villamartín's wide streets come as something of a surprise. This is because the land was given by Seville to a group of settlers who went on to found the village in 1503. Although its layout is a lot less irregular than that of the region's traditional whitewashed villages, it is still full of interest, particularly on the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and Calle del Santo, which are lined with aristocratic mansions.

Calle de El Santo
calle de El Santo E - 11650 Villamartín
The street leading off from Plaza del Ayuntamiento was redesigned during Sevilla's Latin-American Exhibition in 1929 and is a perfect example of early 20C urban architecture. Among its handsome mansions are the 19C Palacio de Los Ríos and the 16C Pal..

UP TO 15 jobs have gone in the council's environmental services department as part of budget cuts to save £395,000.
Coun Roy Miller said cutting 'managerial layers' was part of savings which had to be made in response to the government's austerity programme.
A council report states: "Wherever possible changes have been made to minimise the effect on front line services.
"However, the severity of the cuts mean that some direct effect on service provision is inevitable."
It goes on to say there is potential employees could be at risk due to a lack of direct supervision and that managers will be under undue pressure
Two heads of posts within environmental services have been cut and replaced with one head of highways, engineering and transportation post to save £70,000.
Four group leader posts have gone, saving £104,000, a principal engineer in the highways team has been cut saving £48,000 and a vacant post of senior highway development control officer was also deleted, saving a further £42,000.
A landscape designer and senior landscape assistant jobs have been axed and replaced with a new post of landscape design assistant, saving £40,000.
A transport officer post and an assistant engineer in the traffic team have also gone, saving £70,000.
The council says the reduction in posts will have a 'knock on' impact on local people but this will be minimised by 'focussing on the priorities of importance to local people'.

Android 4.2.2 update for Samsung Galaxy Note II and S3 delayed?
Samsung's Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S3 have been updated both to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean a while ago, and of course they'll get newer software builds in the future. Although it might not be the near future.
According to Sam Mobile (which is usually spot on with details like these), Samsung has delayed the Android 4.2.2 update for the Note II and Galaxy S3. The reason seems to be the new version of TouchWiz that needs to be tested on the handsets.
Unfortunately, Sam Mobile doesn't know when the update will be rolled-out. But let's hope we'll hear more about this soon. In any case, the Note II and the S3 will certainly be updated beyond Android 4.2.2.
Luckily, newer Samsung devices – like the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy Mega (6.3 and 5.8), or even Galaxy Ace 3 – run 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, so their users won't have to wait for this version of Android.

The Re -dedication of Mellon Square Park was unveiled last week during a lavish evening cocktail reception. The anticipation to see the 10 million dollar project revealed attracted over 250 guests to the event.
Patrons enjoyed appetizers and cocktails while strolling through the renovated park. A "Mad Men" theme was observed by several of the guests including Joe King, outfitted in plaids and stripes complete with a blue fedora, and Scott Roller, Senior Manager of Marketing and Communications, for the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, dressed to fit the theme, with a bow tie and saddle shoes.
At the center of the renovations, the nine 3500 pound bronze basins, completely rebuilt and refurbished with dancing waters. Mable chipped terrazzo pavement in a Pittsburgh theme of interlocking triangles renovated to the original condition. The waterfall, once again , cascading to Smithfield Street. It is hard to believe that this park, rich in shrubs and greenery, is actually on top of an underground parking garage. Initially dedicated in 1955, great attention to preserving the original atmosphere of the park was utilized in completing the renovations.
The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy, with the help of funding provided by the Richard King Mellon Foundation and BNY Mellon, is responsible for this magnificent undertaking, which took several years to complete.

A game for the frazzled globetrotter in all of us. Keep up with the changing rules of airport security on your iPhone or iPod touch. Play in airports to earn unique souvenirs to keep, give to friends, or redeem for prizes.
Jetset is a game about air travel with a satirical twist. It is the first game of its kind, a mobile game for business travelers.
The challenges of today's airport security make business and pleasure travel increasingly difficult. Security is there to make you feel safe and get you to your plane in one piece. However, today's regulations change frequently and are often different from airport to airport. Now, you too can stand in the shoes of a security agent trying to avert terrorism while getting everyone through a checkpoint quickly. This is a game that's just as fun as waiting in line — and one you can play in line as well.
Even better, when you play in one of the 100 world airports included in the game (from Albuquerque to Waco), you can win custom-made, collectable, digital souvenirs from each one. No longer will you be guilted into buying an overpriced gift for friends and family you leave behind, now you can gift items of sentimental value collected through your real travel plans. Or if you're more of the hoarding type, you can trade in your souvenirs for exclusive Jetset travel accessories.

On Saturday, March 15 at 6:00 p.m., musicians and other young leaders from Generation Y are banding together with mentors at this concert for a common goal; ban cancer! The BAN CANCER concert begins at 6:00 p.m. at Esplanade Park, and is sponsored by the Richard J. Fox Foundation in conjunction with Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, Inc.
"Members of Generation Y view their work as a key part of life, not as a separate activity that needs to be balanced. They put a strong emphasis on finding work that is personally fulfilling and want to connect to a larger
purpose," stated Cristina M. Hudson of Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale. "In fact, 86% of Gen Y workers say it's important that their work make a positive impact on the world. Our young musicians and leaders have connected to our mission to educate the public and spread awareness about both prostate and pancreatic cancer."
The BAN CANCER concert lineup merges the Baby Boomer generation with musicians from Gen Y in order to promote reciprocal mentoring relationships between younger bands and veteran musicians such as Terry Wollman and Roberto Perera. These mentors provide greater access to knowledge and collaborative networks and help their mentees tap diverse areas of expertise.

Now, however, although the property is still abandoned and the owner is now - here to be found, the neighbors, working with the Department of Health and the Department of Sanitation, have worked for weeks to clean the property.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Fall/Winter 2006 issue.
Many of us have heard the joke in which a famous musician is stopped on the streets of New York by a passer-by with a question: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" And the musician immediately answers: "Practice!" Whether this is, indeed, a joke or an anecdote is hard to tell; however, the fact is that you can only excel at what you do if you practice constantly. And when you are a chef in Puerto Vallarta, a city that is now considered Mexico's gourmet destination of choice, the challenge to constantly reinvent yourself is never-ending.
Just as athletes train for the Olympics, chefs around the world look forward to analogous competitive events that allow them to showcase their expertise, and also serve as opportunities to learn from one another. Puerto Vallarta's culinary fraternity takes this aspect very seriously, often partnering to participate in such competitions. And just as athletes rely on their coaches for advice and guidance, young Vallarta chefs look up to their more-seasoned colleagues for mentorship.
Pivotal to this philosophy is award-winning master chef Thierry Blouet, founder of world-famous Café des Artistes here in Puerto Vallarta. A member of the Academie Culinaire de France, in 2000 Blouet was awarded the rank of Maitre Cuisinier in France, the most prestigious of all chef awards. He has been a member of the jury in virtually every national culinary competition, including those that qualify winning chefs to participate in international events. Truly committed to preserving his craft, Thierry Blouet began mentoring young local chefs a decade ago, beginning with Felipe Pelayo, who currently is executive chef at Bogart's in Puerto Vallarta.
Blouet's latest successful mentorship is Agave Grill's chef Oscar Galván, who just returned to Puerto Vallarta from Mexico City having received a gold medal at Expo ABASTUR, organizer of Mexico's most important gastronomic competition. Galván's association with Thierry Blouet goes back to 2000. While still attending cooking school in Mexico City, he was invited by Blouet to do his practical training at Café des Artistes, where he remained for several months. He was only 19 years old at the time, but had already displayed a keen interest in both French and traditional Mexican cuisine. Back in Mexico City, Galván completed his studies at Ambrosia, Mexico's finest culinary institute, and went on to Sheraton's Centro Histórico hotel in Mexico City, where he quickly climbed the ladder to become sub-executive chef. He participated in several competitions during his Sheraton tenure, one of which resulted in a chance meeting with William Carballo, owner of Puerto Vallarta's prestigious Barcelona Tapas restaurant. A friendship quickly developed. Carballo, who was partnering with Terry Hale to open Agave Grill, a new gourmet Mexican restaurant in El Centro, invited Galvan to join the venture. Galván accepted the invitation. The combination of his culinary expertise along with Carballo's restaurant experience and Hale's long-time passion for Mexican food, wine and tequila, paid off. And in only two years they have turned Agave Grill into a top-notch restaurant dedicated to preserving the heritage of traditional Mexican cuisine, while keeping it fresh with a contemporary flair.
And how fortunate we are that this passionate, ongoing commitment to reach the highest standards of culinary sophistication is taking place right here in Puerto Vallarta! By the time you read this, Agave Grill will have closed for a few weeks and re-opened after a substantial kitchen and dining room renovation. The changes will be subtle, but will allow chef Galvan to continue his quest. So if you are a Mexican food aficionado, you will feel right at home in Puerto Vallarta at restaurants such as Agave Grill, Los Xitomates, El Arrayán and a few others, where you will savor a rich variety of our cuisine. If, on the other hand, you associate Mexican food with tacos, tostadas, fajitas or other items commonly found in a popular US fast food chain, you simply must sample other aspects Mexico's cuisine at any of these fine restaurants. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Brady rushing TD sends Pats on their way
FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) -- New England Patriots players are going
down as quickly as the New York Jets' season.
For the third straight game, the Patriots lost a key defender
and the Jets lost a close contest as New England won 23-16 Sunday.
Question on the Jets: Is Curtis Martin done or is his lack of production due to seeing eight men in the box?
Martin's lack of production is due in large part to his age (30) and the amount of carries (2,644). That combination will limit Martin from being a back with the potential to rush for 120+ yards.
Question on the Patriots: How much will the loss of Rosevelt Colvin hurt the Pats?
The loss of Colvin will definitely hurt the Patriots. His presence enabled the Pats to utilize four-linebacker sets and now they'll have to go back to three-linebacker sets.
Eric Allen played cornerback for 14 NFL seasons with the Eagles, Saints and Raiders.
Tom Brady never missed a play after hurting his right elbow with
5:45 left in the second quarter. He ran for a 1-yard touchdown late
in the third quarter to break a 9-9 tie.
But in the first quarter, nose tackle Ted Washington fractured
his leg and wide receiver David Patten hurt his right leg. Neither
"We don't ask, 'Why us?" linebacker Tedy Bruschi said. "We
deal with what is happening, no matter who's in there."
Washington is expected to miss "a couple of weeks," coach Bill
Belichick said. It is not known how long Patten will be out.
The Patriots (2-1) already were without two starting linebackers
-- Ted Johnson, who broke his left foot in the first game, and
Rosevelt Colvin, who broke his left hip in the second and is
expected to miss the season. And they released safety Lawyer Milloy
before the first game.
Cornerback Ty Law rolled his ankle late in the first half but
"We're already down in numbers as it is," Law said. "As long
as I can run, even if I'm not full speed, my presence is important
out there."
The Jets (0-3) lost to Washington 16-13 on a field goal with 5
seconds left, then fell to Miami 21-10 before Sunday's seven-point
"It's a sickening feeling," quarterback Vinny Testaverde said.
"Losing like this is worse because you were in all three games."
The Jets were without two key players -- quarterback Chad
Pennington with a dislocated wrist and cornerback Donnie Abraham
with a broken shoulder.
Abraham's replacement, Ray Mickens, was called for pass
interference in the end zone one play before Brady scored. And
Pennington's replacement, Testaverde, threw an interception that
Asante Samuel returned 55 yards for a touchdown 11 seconds into the
fourth quarter.
"I knew Vinny was going to (Wayne) Chrebet because that's his
main guy," Samuel said.
The Jets came right back on Testaverde's 29-yard scoring pass to
Chrebet less than two minutes later, but came no closer as they
converted just one of 13 third-down opportunities.
"It was a character drive," Testaverde said. "We felt like we
had momentum but then we can't go out and repeat it."
The Patriots broke a five-game home losing streak against the
"We can put that little curse behind us," Law said. "I'm sure
the Jets will bounce back like they did last year."
The Patriots won at the Meadowlands 44-7 in the second game last
year, then lost at home 30-7 in the 15th game and missed the
playoffs on the final weekend.
On Sunday, Adam Vinatieri and Doug Brien kicked three field
goals each before Brady's touchdown run. He took it in himself when
he saw his receivers were covered.
"Drop back, look, first guy, second guy, third guy, then it's
just, oh, get going," Brady said.
He re-entered the game after he was sacked by linebacker Sam
Cowart and fumbled. Larry Centers recovered for the Patriots, and
Brady, whose helmet was knocked off on the play, left clutching his
right elbow.
"I rushed in and jumped over the blocker," Cowart said. "I
was surprised to see him still holding the ball."
Brady said he was fine and then, aware of Belichick's reluctance
to share injury information, said with a smile, "keep asking,
you'll keep getting that same answer."
Testaverde started his third game for Pennington and moved into
eighth place on the NFL career list with 40,300 yards passing. His
264 yards Sunday moved him past Johnny Unitas' 40,239. Joe Montana
is seventh with 40,551.
The Jets managed just 65 yards on 17 carries. They had 21 yards
rushing against Miami. Curtis Martin ran for 53 yards Sunday after
entering the game with only 80.
"It's almost there but we're still not doing enough to help the
team win," Martin said.
Trailing 6-3 with the ball at the Patriots 16-yard line, the
Jets set up for a field goal but faked and Kevin Mawae dropped Dan
Stryzinski's pass.
"I am trying to get something going," coach Herman Edwards
said. "I am trying to score touchdowns."<
^Notes:@The Jets started at 1-3 last year but won the AFC East on a
tiebreaker with a 9-7 record. ... New York outgained New England
329-294 and sacked Brady five times. Testaverde wasn't sacked. ...
The Patriots ran for 147 yards. The Jets have allowed 164.7 yards
rushing per game.

Glendale — Police are calling the commotion caused by a group of teenagers outside of Bayshore Town Center a one-time occurrence, but it generated multiple 911 calls from concerned onlookers and nearby businesses.
According to the police report:
A number of businesses called 911 after a "large group" of juveniles, about 12 boys and three or four girls, entered stores and threatened patrons and employees at BP Gas, Taco Bell, Subway, Walgreens and McDonald's in the 5200 to 5600 blocks of North Port Washington Road about 6 p.m. Jan. 9.
Bayshore Town Center security had contact with the group about 3 p.m. telling them they had to leave because of the mall's curfew on underage shoppers. At 5:49 p.m., police dispatch began fielding numerous calls from businesses and citizens along Port Washington Road south of Silver Spring Drive about a large group of juveniles yelling, making obscene gestures, jumping on parked cars and entering stores.
At Subway, an employee who was threatened by a boy with a large stick said some boys grabbed bags of chips and fled. The employee also told police an elderly man approached him after the group had left and told the employee the boy with the stick threatened to beat and stab him if he got out of his vehicle.
Police Capt. Mark Ferguson said there have not been any similar problems since the incidents.
"Basically, you had a bunch of kids running up and down the street and being unsocial," he said. "From our view, it was a one-time incident."
Two Milwaukee boys, 14 and 16, who had a few of the bags of chips, were arrested for being party to a crime and the younger for resisting arrest. The boys denied stealing the chips, one saying he was "just holding them" for the person who took them.
There was also a report that the group battered a citizen with ice balls, but no victim has come forward, Ferguson said.

How much is a shoot with you?
Our mission is to give every client a customized, glamorous, and ego boosting experience. If you are looking for "just a couple of pics" then we might not be the best fit for your needs. Most of our clients choose to spend between $600 and $1500 for their session, hair, makeup, and product.
Do I have to place a retainer to book a shoot? How far in advance do I need to book?
Your session fee secures you a date on the calendar reserved for you. Once we select a date and time for your shoot, you will be required to send your signed contract and 50% of the session fee. You can send a check, money order or a make a payment with a credit card payment. The retainer is non-refundable. If you must reschedule, you need to contact me 7 days prior to your scheduled shoot, otherwise you will forfeit the session fee. As long as there is ample notice, your session fee can be applied to another date within 30 days of your original shoot. I understand that things come up, but if you booked a shoot, it takes a date off of my calendar for someone else. In addition, I book hair and makeup for you, so those girls lose the day as well. I suggest booking your shoot at least 4 weeks ahead, 6 weeks ahead leading up to Christmas and Valentines Day. If you decide last minute that you absolutely want to shoot with us, contact me and I can try to accommodate you.
Do I have to be a model or have experience to work with you?
Absolutely not. As a matter of fact, most of the ladies that I work with have never done a shoot or have any modeling experience whatsoever. All of my "models" are girl next door or soccer mom types who are just looking to boost their self esteem, feel glamorous for a day, or to create an unforgettable gift for their significant other.
Where do you shoot?
We shoot in an adorable boutique style studio in Collingswood, New Jersey. We'll provide the address and directions once we receive your deposit. Though our studio is in a retail/ professional location, we still prefer to stay low key. If you prefer, you can book a session at the location of your choosing. A room at a cool hotel or even your residence can be a great option for a shoot. There is a travel fee depending on distance, but we can always bring our studio to you!
Do you have gift cards? Yes! We have gift cards available in any denomination or shoot package. These cards are perfect for a gal that has been considering treating herself to a shoot, and even for a bridal or baby shower gift! Gift card purchases are not refundable and expire after 6 months. Please don't procrastinate on booking your shoot on a gift card!
Do you offer airbrushing? Absolutely! Every photo that you purchase is airbrushed so that your finished images are flawless, magazine quality images. Stretch marks, cellulite, and blemishes… we all have our trouble spots, but those things can easily be edited out for your finished product. All the photos you see on the site are retouched, no one is that perfect! During your viewing session, you will get to see a little bit of the retouching magic we do. A note however about tan lines… Tan lines are very difficult to airbrush, so if you have them, I suggest getting a spray tan to even things out a little.
Should I go tanning?This one is an important one. If you use a tanning bed, please stop tanning at least one week before you shoot. Not only is using tanning beds dangerous, (I will spare you the lecture), they make your skin look extremely red on camera. There is nothing I can do to correct this. So please, please, please don't go tanning before your shoot! If you feel that your skin need a little color, then I suggest getting a light to medium spray tan a day or two before your shoot. Be careful not to get your hands streaky, this is something else I can't fix in photoshop. The ladies at Forever Bronze Tanning in Cherry Hill are awesome for spray tans.
Do I have to bring my own outfits?
We definitely suggest that you bring some of your favorite pieces from your own wardrobe such as jeans and a sexy top, dresses, pretty slips, as well as some lingerie basics like strapless bra and nude thong. Your outfits don't need to be extravagant, a simple bra and panty set is perfect! In addition, shoes and accessories can add an extra edge to your images. We do have some wardrobe items, accessories and shoes for your use, but again, having things of your own is helpful. It also gives us an idea of your personality and the look that you want your images to convey, both make a difference in the finished product. If you need ideas or inspiration you can look and some of our Pinterest boards and our website to see what past clients have done.
What if I don't know how to pose?
No worries! We don't expect you to know what you are doing! Everyone is new at this, so we will walk you through the entire process. We do suggest that you practice some facial expressions before your shoot. You'll feel silly, but definitely try the "smile with your eyes" in a mirror! During your shoot, I will direct you through posing, where to look, and what to do. We'll do a variety of poses for each outfit so you will have a chance to do a little bit of everything.
Can I do my own makeup for the shoot?
Make up for photography is extremely different from makeup for everyday or even a night out. Even "natural" makeup requires a lot of skill and expertise to apply. Having your makeup done with our awesome hair and makeup gal contributes to the overall look and feel of the finished photograph and is absolutely necessary for your shoot. You can contact our makeup and hair gal at any time to discuss particulars and are free to bring pictures from magazines for ideas. The petite session fee includes 1 airbrush makeup look, hairstyling, and false eyelashes, the Luxe includes 2. If you want a little more variety in your makeup and hair, you can opt to add a makeup and hair change to your session for $50. We can create anything you can dream up, from natural to all out glamorous! Remember, this is an investment in you, so every little thing should be absolutely perfect!
When do I get to see my proofs?
After your session, we will choose a date and time, usually within 7-14 days to review your photos and choose the goodies you would like to order. If you have a long drive (a lot of our clients travel a significant distance to see us), we can do your viewing session on the same day as your shoot. (Just let us know in advance) Once you choose your favorites for editing, it will take about 4-6 weeks to receive your final prints or products. Please, please, please be patient. If you are in a hurry to get your finals there will be a rush fee applied to your order.
Can I bring my boyfriend, husband, fiancé to my shoot?
Nope. Having an all female staff is part of what makes shooting with us special. I have allowed women to bring their significant other in the past, but the shoots never seemed to carry the same energy. You can definitely bring a female friend with you to your shoot if you feel you need some moral support! Just make sure she's fun!
Can drink during our session?
I definitely prefer you didn't. I don't want to be responsible for someone drinking and driving. In addition, one drink may loosen you up, but it can always be seen in the pictures. You eyes get glassy once the bright lights hit you and the poses tend to get sloppy very quickly once the alcohol starts flowing.
What if I don't want my pictures to appear on your website or marketing materials?
No problem. A lot of women are so thrilled with the outcome that they are proud to have their images displayed. However, there are also a lot of clients that don't want their co-workers and families to see them ,or simply want to keep their experience private. This is not an issue, your privacy is extremely important to us. In order for me to display your images, you have to sign a consent form. If you don't sign it, they can't be displayed.
Why is a shoot so expensive? I only want a couple of shots!
This is a question I answer a lot. There are a lot of "photographers" out there that have no experience in shooting real women the way that we do. We have worked with over 400 women in 2013! Just because someone has an expensive digital camera and has a copy of photoshop, doesn't make them a professional. Believe me, I have been there! Each shoot we do requires time, skill, instruction, consulting with my client, set up of backgrounds and lighting, the hours of shooting, time spent downloading and archiving your images, retouching, designing albums and ordering prints. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes for each and every session. I believe in giving every client an unforgettable experience with the same high end retouching and printing techniques that are used by magazines and catalogs like Victorias Secret. The end result is a great boost in self esteem with magazine quality images!
If you have a question that hasn't been answered here, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or use the contact form!

Grace Point Church was born in 2001 with a handful of committed Christ-followers who dreamed of a "church for the unchurched" in Northwest Arkansas. After meeting in homes, school buildings, and hotels for several years, GPC's 250 attenders foresaw a day that a building designed for 500 would be necessary. As a result, Grace Point built its first ministry campus in 2006. As Pastor Mike describes it, "This building is a metal toolbox for ministry," nothing more.
We are now worshiping in our new worship center, which opened on July 14, 2013, along with expanded children's space and community space. We totally re-purposed our first structure to provide for our growing elementary, junior high, and high school ministries. There's room for you and your family, and we invite you to be a part of our church family as we seek to fulfill God's calling to love and minister to our community and our world.

DAYS of being "like a family" at the former Fairpoint School undoubtedly will be recalled Saturday, Sept. 20, during the second school reunion in that community.
Sandy Orr, a former third grade teacher at the school and one of the planners, said, "The thing I remember the most (about the school) is it was like a family. Everybody knew everybody.
"The parents knew the teachers and respected them, and the teachers respected the parents."

PREPARATIONS are underway for the Fairpoint School Reunion planned Saturday, Sept. 20. The reunion committee and the members' previous associations with the former school includes, from left, Cheryl Elliott, Title I reading teacher; Sandy Orr, third grade teacher; Denny Dlesk, student; Denise Rinkes, second grade teacher; Darlene Taylor, second grade teacher; and Bev McIntyre, student.
Photos Provided
STUDENTS lined up outside the Fairpoint School in 1906. Their teachers at that time were Everett Lore and Mr. Freter (first name unavailable).
Former students, teachers and others having anything to do with the school will have a chance to renew acquaintances at the reunion, planned at the Fairpoint Polish Club pavilion Sept. 20 from 1-5 p.m. The meal is planned for 1:30 p.m.
Those attending are asked to bring a large covered dish, table service for their family and non-alcoholic drinks.
Picnic tables will be available, but those attending might want to bring lawn chairs.
Monetary donations for the reunion aren't necessary; however, the committee will accept any donations to offset the cost of the event.
Anyone having old photos related to the school may take them to the reunion to help others recall the days in the two-story frame building.
The two-story building, which was a school from 1921-82, still exists, but it now has another use.
When the school closed because of a levy failure and the lack of money, it is estimated that there probably were nearly 70 students.
Classes for grades 1-8 were held at the school when it first opened, but this later was reduced to grades 1-6, and a cafeteria became part of the building.
Before 1921, the classes had been held in a school, which opened in 1906. It closed because it wasn't large enough.
In addition to Orr, the school reunion committee includes Dennis Dlesk, Bev McIntyre, Denise Rinkes, Cheryl Elliott and Darlene Taylor.
