It was an unforgetable stay in Roma and in Simonas and Fabios romantic loft!!!
We enjoyed coming back after a long trip in the wonderful city into the warmed and beautiful flat.
Thanks a lot for everything!! We hope to see each other again at our next stay in Rom :D
Best regards,
Anna and Armin
Loft is on the roof of the building. It's clean and complete. We did take the public transport (bus - 5 minutes walk) to travel to the center of Rome. Two supermarkets are also within a 5 minutes walk.
We enjoyed our stay in the Viala Pola. Very cosy, very clean, everything needed was available.
The "dakterras" was really wonderful.
Simona and Fabio, thank you very much for your kindness and your lovely appartment!
Ida en Corien
My boyfriend and I stayed in Simona and Fabio's flat for four nights. It was very clean and it had a well equipped kitchen. There was a washer, which we didn't use, but appreciated. I also liked that the apartment had an iron and a small ironing board. The shower was a little small (we're both rather thin, but if we had been bigger it may have been uncomfortable) and the hot water tank was very small. The studio itself was also a little smaller than I had thought from the pictures; the ceiling above the bed is slanted and made the room feel a bit smaller. The apartment is walking distance from the metro (about fifteen minutes or so) and also close to a nice market and restaurant (Pepe Verde - felt like a real local place). It was a bit further from the center of Rome than we would have preferred, though, which meant we left in the morning and couldn't come back until the end of the day (rather than popping in and out as necessary or stopping home in the middle of the day for a rest). Of course, we were limited by public transportation. The neighborhood was very nice, away from the touristy spots, and it felt very safe. Thanks for a great stay!
We spent 4 beautiful nights in Rome, in the very nice and proper appartment of Fabio and Simona.
The appartment is in a quiet area at walking distance of the center of Rome.
Very nice stay we can recommend to everybody.
A confortable flat, silencious with a good sleep, well equiped, to be recommended. Special thanks to the owners.
We had a lovely stay in Fabio&Simonas loft, it was really beautiful and romantic, looking over Rome's rooftops. All worked out well. It was possible to land late as well and the hosts were really friendly and equiped us with information, for example where we can find supermarkets or restaurants, sights in the area.
The area where the loft is situated, is really beautiful as well. It takes about half an hour to walk into the touristic city center and I enjoyed the walk every day. We'll surely be back soon.
Thanks very much to Simona&Fabio!
We enjoyed staying in your flat, which worked super for the two of us. We cooked after shopping in the local marked and ate at the terrace outside the door and everything worked fine. It was easy to get to the center of Rome from the flat.
The apartment was great and we loved the location! Simona and Fabio were very helpful and good hosts! If we´re in Rome we would absolutely stay there again!
Loft and owner very nice and friendly.
The rooms were clean and we felt really cared for (extra towels, toaster, even salt and other cookingstuff were there!)
We fell in love exspecially with the beautiful terrasse.
Thanks to you two we had a really good week in Rome!

First Time Here?
I want to tell you more about me and this blog. Click HERE.
Today's post comes from Kevin Bullard of MarriageWorks! Kevin and his wife Cetelia have a deep compassion for marriages and I'm humbled to have Kevin posting today. This is a post you won't want to miss.
Since starting Marriage Works!, I have spoken with many husbands who are beyond frustration due to the lack of sexual intercourse taking place in their marriage. Two stories in particular jump out at me, and I'll base this post on their experiences.
Husband 1:
According to this husband, he and his wife sinned by having sex before marriage. In exasperation, he told me that they had more sex before marriage than they've had since being married.
Although he had expressed how he felt multiple times in multiple ways to his wife, it seemed that his complaint and need for sex both fell on deaf ears. She was like the King James description of the city of Jericho: "Straitly shut up ... and none came in." (Joshua 6:1)
Husband 2:
This husband was in an interesting situation because the lack of sex in his marriage appeared to be related to his wife being pregnant. In the past they had suffered a stillborn and a miscarriage, and this husband said his wife refused to have sex due to not wanting to harm the baby.
Although doctors had ruled out the chances of harm being done to the baby through intercourse, one can understand her concerns given their history. At the same time, the husband told me that he was increasingly tempted to view pornography, and began seeing other women as more attractive. The husband explained these two things to his wife, and she acknowledged them, but still did not have sex with him.
Let me begin by saying that despite the temptations and lack of sex, both of these men had and will always have the responsibility to maintain their purity and fidelity. This is a covenant with God and their wife.
That said, both husbands also have a very real need that cannot be dismissed by encouraging them to "man up."
Both of these men felt something that is often felt by a spouse who is the victim of adultery: rejection. They felt like they weren't important enough to their wife for their needs to be met by her. Because these husbands felt like their needs didn't matter, they felt like they didn't matter, and that is a low place that hurts whether you're male or female.
While some husbands deal with this rejection by stepping outside their marriage, others, like these men, deal with the rejection by giving it to God while trying not to grow bitter against the one woman who is their God-ordained sex partner.
As I said at the outset, I don't know all the details of their individual stories, but I do know this much: this is not how God intended for marriage to be for husbands and wives.
It was not His plan for bitterness to take root due to spouses being denied their conjugal rights (1 Corinthians 7:3-4).
It was not His plan for spouses to feel rejected and abandoned due to being denied sex from the one person they covenanted to have sex with.
If you, like the wives in this post, are denying your husband sex for any reason, I encourage you to challenge the reason against God's word.
If there are physical issues causing you to deny sex, explain these to your husband, and seek out the necessary help. If there are emotional or forgiveness reasons causing you to deny sex, again, I encourage you to explain these to your husband, and seek out the necessary help.
In short, if you're denying sex to your husband for any reason, seek the necessary help. It's essential that you understand that your husband likely feels rejected, and Satan will do his best to exploit that rejection and turn it into sin.
Take ownership for any objections you have towards being sexually intimate with your husband, and pray that he will take ownership for any issues that may be causing you to feel the way you do.
Finally, together, seek a way forward so that you both feel loved, honored, and cherished enough to bring healing and growth to your sexual relationship.

Recently, a reader commented on my post 5 Things You Must Know if You Are Denying Your Husband Sex.
I thought his words were insightful:
"I am doubtful that any of the women you are speaking to are willing to own up to what they are doing. There are always 'reasons' to choose not to be close to their husbands. No husband is perfect, we all make mistakes, and those become bulletproof justifications for freezing us out.
And if we are on our best behavior, there are still extraneous things that happen (bad day, upset with her mother, kids were misbehaving, headache, exhausted) that we as husbands cannot overcome. Even if we are patient, those reasons to postpone can easily last longer than we can go without making a mistake.
Unfortunately, women simply have a limitless list of reasons to excuse their choices. Some are legitimate and some are manufactured. But all of them deflect the need to fix the situation."
He generalizes a bit, but I have to admit, I think many of his observations are spot on.
I wonder how many husbands feel like they are damned if they do and damned if they don't -- meaning that no matter the "hoops" they jump through, new and different hoops are constantly being added that make access to sex an elusive mirage they can never reach.
Certainly there are times when sexual intimacy is not feasible or reasonable, so I will never be in the camp that you can never say "no" to sex.
For example, I have known husbands who don't understand the need to abstain from sexual intercourse for a set amount of time after their wife has had a baby (typically 6 weeks).
Sadly, I also know of husbands who want their wives to do something that clearly is contrary to God's design for sex (like watch pornography together, bring additional people into the lovemaking, subject themselves to humiliation or abusive behavior, etc.)
Obviously, a wife's allegiance is first to her Lord's commands, not to her husband's sinful requests, so if he is requesting stuff like this, I completely understand her "no."
And sometimes, an occasional "no" is not because of such serious matters, but clearly a reality of occasional exhaustion, busyness or illness. Hey, I've been too tired at times to have sex -- and I really was just that -- too tired.
All that being said, there are MANY excuses given that have no grounding whatsoever and are just careless attempts to avoid intimacy.
My hope is that as Christian wives, we would grow in our accountability to Christ and each other in this area.
That we would test our words and heart with the Holy Spirit so that we can discern if we are dishing up lame excuses or if indeed we are offering legitimate reasons for "no sex tonight."
And if we decline the opportunity to have sex, may our reason not be anchored in an immovable "no," but rather lovingly wrapped in a genuine promise of "not now, but soon."
Ironically, if a husband and wife are nurturing sex in their marriage, then an occasional "no" from either of them is more likely to be received with grace and understanding. The "no" becomes a non-issue, because the marriage is rooted in "no" being the rare exception, not the rule.
If any of the below reasons are ones you've given to avoid sex with your husband, my heartfelt plea is this:
Candidly lay such reason before the Lord and ask for His wisdom on whether there is a healthier way to be navigating sexual intimacy in your marriage.
1. I'm too tired.
2. I'm too stressed out.
3. I'm punishing him for something he did to me.
4. I'm not experiencing orgasm.
5. He doesn't help enough around the house and/or with the kids.
6. He has poor hygiene and I'm totally turned off.
7. I have too much to do. I don't have time for sex.
8. The house is a mess.
9. I'm afraid the kids will hear us.
10. He wants me to do something against my morals or God's commands.
11. I'm distracted by work, responsibilities, etc.
12. I have health issues that I just don't want to deal with.
13. I have health issues that really do make sexual closeness difficult or impossible.
14. I don't want to mess up my hair (or my nails...or my brand new flannel pajamas.)
15. I just changed the sheets.
16. I haven't shaved my legs.
17. I have issues, but I don't really want to deal with them.
18. I'm frustrated with something in our relationship.
19. I'm having my period.
20. I'm mad at him.
21. Sex is boring.
22. I'm worried about getting pregnant.
23. I think sex is dirty (or wrong...or disgusting...)
24. I'm depressed.
25. I'm worried I won't please him sexually.
Obviously this list isn't exhaustive, as I'm sure that collectively we could come up with a lot more reasons behind "no sex."
(If you want to actually chime in on this and see more reasons, Paul and Lori Byerly of The Marriage Bed are doing a quick Facebook survey I encourage you to check out. The survey is completely anonymous).
Regardless of whether there are legitimate grounds for denial of sex, the need for communication on sexual intimacy is universal. For the health of your marriage, you and your husband must be able to talk vulnerably and honestly about what is going on (or not going on) in your marriage bed.
When a couple is committed to nurturing their sexual intimacy, including dealing with the difficult issues, a lot of excuses will fall by the wayside. Together they will start to see that there is sacred value in spending time in each other's arms.
And even if circumstances limit or rule out actual intercourse (some health conditions or diseases, disabilities, etc.), a couple can still nurture a tender and private physical closeness that to them is sexual in nature.
Your excuses for "no sex" ?
Look at them closely and decide if you owe yourself, your husband and your marriage a better approach.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the United Nations "completely ignored Israel's security needs" when it granted Palestine non-member status.
Mr Netanyahu made the statement during a diplomatic visit to Prague on Wednesday, in which he thanked the Czech Republic for voting against the Palestinian UN bid.
One of the reasons Israel objected so vehemently to the premature UN recognition of Palestine as a state was the apprehension that the International Criminal Court at The Hague (ICC) would, subsequently, accede to a request by the "state of Palestine" to join the Court. Once accepted as a member state, the Palestinians might then attempt to have Israeli officials indicted.
A Liberal Democrat peer has referred to the role of the "huge and powerful Jewish community" in the United States' decision to vote against last week's Palestinian United Nations bid.
Despite opposition from the Obama administration and an abstention on the part of the UK, the Palestinians won observer status at the UN General A ssembly last Thursday.
It was Mark Twain who said of Jane Austen: "Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone." Palestinians, on the other hand, are now digging up Yasir Arafat for different reasons — they want to find out if he was poisoned.
Foreign Secretary William Hague has said that the likelihood of a return to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations would have been greater if the Palestinian Authority had given the reassurances Britain asked for ahead of Thursday UN General assembly vote.
A majority of United Nations countries have voted to give the Palestinians non-member observer status.
In all, 138 countries backed President Mahmoud Abbas, while nine voted against it.
Britain was set to be among 41 countries to formally abstain in the General Assembly vote, which Mr Abbas described as the "last chance to save the two-state solution".
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert does not oppose the Palestinian Authority's UN bid for non-member observer status, saying it is "congruent with the basic concept of the two-state solution".
The Palestinian Authority has rebuffed calls to promise not prosecute Israel in the International Criminal Court if the UN General Assembly votes to upgrade the body to non-member observer status on Thursday.
American diplomatic efforts to soften the wording of the Palestinian resolution and introduce a clause in which the PA promises not to sue for war crimes has not been successful.
The remains of former president of the Palestinian Authority, Yasir Arafat, have been exhumed in Ramallah as part of an ongoing investigation into how he died.
Samples were removed from the body by a Palestinian doctor on Tuesday, with the team of Swiss, French and Russian scientists who will examine the samples were standing by to supervise.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is to lobby Prime Minister David Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague to back the Palestinian UN bid, the Guardian has reported.

Canadiens' Parros Out Indefinitely With Concussion
MONTREAL (AP) ? Montreal Canadiens enforcer George Parros has been released from the hospital after being treated overnight for a head injury suffered in a season-opening loss to Toronto.
Parros was knocked unconscious early in the third period Tuesday after his face slammed into the ice during a fight with Maple Leafs tough guy Colton Orr. Parros spent several minutes motionless on the ice before he was taken off on a stretcher in what?was his first game in a Montreal uniform. Parros joined the Canadiens last summer after one season with the Florida Panthers.
An update on Parros' condition was given on the team's twitter feed earlier today:
Medical update on George Parros: he was released from the hospital, suffered a concussion, will be out indefinitely.

Do You Struggle with Technology
Did you ever get the feeling that you were fighting your technology? That is just was not working for you. Not just the event technology, the other stuff too. It was supposed to make your life easier, make your life more organized, help your team communicate, create a better attendee experience, and allow you to do more with less. Funny, it just isn't working out that way.
Wouldn't it be great if someone could help you make it all play nice.
We Can Help
We understand the struggle. You want a partner that will work with you to help you understand your existing technology or implement new. Someone that will give you honest answers and is not working for the technology companies and has your best interests in mind.
You might need an amazing website for your event or conference, a better event registration system (and someone to set it up), a social media or content marketing plan, a new way to manage productivity, or someone to be the voice of your organization when you are speaking to your A/V company. You might just want someone to bounce thoughts and ideas around with.
Just ask.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $3.76 (22% off)
Love this product!
Posted by Reviewer2736575 on Feb 13, 2009
I am 7 months pregnant and have used this product religiously since I was 3 months- not one stretch mark and no itchy belly! It's the best!
No stretch marks for me
Posted by Reviewer3145321 on May 24, 2008
On my second pregnancy and decided to use this again because it worked so well for me last time. Not a single stretch mark!
Best Oil Ever....
Posted by Reviewer2053425 on Sep 23, 2009
This is the best oil for stretch marks. I used it with my pregnancy and did not get any stretch marks. I have bought this for over 10 people and only one friend of mine has gotten stretch marks using this. It is also great in the winter for dry skin!
A must for dry skin
Posted by Reviewer1134753 on Feb 07, 2010
I love this product and have been using it for over 5 years. I use it everyday after I shower and it has completely replaced my body lotions. 5 easy to read ingredients...need I say more. Some think it is too oily but all you have to do is wait about 5 minutes before putting clothes on after applying and you will have no problems staining your clothes. I have not one piece of clothing that is ruined from this product. I used this product during my pregnancy and although it did not prevent stretchmarks it did prevent itchy skin and kept my skin supple. I now use this on my baby girl and lotion will never touch her body with its alcohol/drying ingredients. I mix in a little olive oil too for her. A great combination. LOVE LOVE this product.
Posted by Reviewer1658503 on Jul 18, 2011
The oil is very good. Skin absorbs it quickly.
the best
Posted by Reviewer1362742 on May 17, 2012
I started using it from approximatelly 20th week and do not have any strech mark. I also like that it does not have smell.
Posted by Reviewer1844746 on Sep 10, 2013
I've been using it for 2 months and its very good up to now.. I'm in my 5th month of pregnancy but still have small belly no stretch marks so far. Easily absorbed, leaves no grease. Smell is ok. It leaves the skin very soft and moisturized.. Definitely buy it again. I'll let you know if it works the same when i get larger. REVIEW UPDATE JUST PERFECT!!!! No stretch marks and I'm still using it for me and the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore it
super oil
Posted by mazurok on Apr 05, 2012
Oil from the stretch took to bragging, I have stretch marks on the skin prior to the pregnancy and I am very worried that they will be even much more, anointed them with the last trimester of this oil after a shower, as pinned great hopes on him and it really helped me, no one new stretch, I know that there are no new, because stretch marks, when there, they are first red, and only then turn white. In general I advise girls!
Mother's Special Blend Oil
Posted by OrganicMommy on Apr 20, 2012
I love this, tried another before this one, but this is the one, I will be re-ordering. Seems not to irritate my skin as much as the one I had before trying this. Price is better for the size, doesn't have a scent, and it sinks in well on damp skin (still greasy but not extremely).
Love it, totally natural
Posted by Reviewer1996093 on Oct 04, 2013
I really like it. I started to use it around 5th month of pregnancy so far I'm 7 and I haven't get any stretch marks. I'm using it in all my body as it's perfume free and totally natural my skin feels really hydrated. I'll purchase again.

Dear Peachtree Park Neighbor,
We're finally getting a taste of warmer weather so let's get outside and PLAY!
Street Play had a great year and was financially stable due to increased dues and thanks to your generosity. In the last few years, we even had neighbors whose children are grown donate to the cause. This allowed us to fully fund our activities. (Street Play does not receive funding from any outside groups; therefore, we are totally dependent upon Street Play dues). Street Play is a very special part of our neighborhood and we hope to continue to enjoy it for years to come.
This year, we are asking families to renew their commitment to Street Play and keeping the dues the same as last year. Just like last year, dues will be $30 per child with a $50 per family maximum. Dues will help us cover the costs of the great activities Street Play provides, including:
- Easter Egg Hunt
- July 4th Parade
- Summer Street Play (ice cream social, water play, fire truck visit and more!)
- Halloween Carnival (face painting, bounce house, games and more!)
Street Play is a great way to get outside and meet your neighbors or catch up with the ones you already know, all while your kids have a blast. We need your support, not only through dues, but also through volunteers. Let us know how you can help!
We have a Facebook page (Peachtree Park Street Play) where we will post announcements and upcoming events. Also, we have a PayPal (email@example.com) account…we hope to make it easy as possible to support Street Play.
Please either pay by check (download the sign-up form HERE) or pay via PayPal (email@example.com).
Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions. We can't wait to see you at Street Play!

What is Street Play?

Jim Gaffigan writes about living large with big family
Big families, Jim Gaffigan reflects in his new book, are like waterbed stores: They used to be everywhere, but now when you see one, it just seems weird.
But Gaffigan, a stand-up comic and a veteran of several TV sitcoms, embraces the weirdness — or tries to. Raising five children under the age of 9 in New York City? It's a perfect way to ensure that the kids meet interesting people, he writes, like their neighbor Andre, "the 6-foot bearded drag queen." Living with said children and their mother in a two-bedroom apartment? It's fine, if you ignore the fact that you're basically occupying "a non-movable clown car."
Enrolling a kid in an artsy Greenwich Village preschool? That, too, rocks, if you can deal with "being one of the only parents without a tattoo or a child named after a spice."
Gaffigan will talk about these and other adventures in fatherhood — and sign copies of "Dad Is Fat," of course — Saturday evening at Boswell Book Co., 2559 N. Downer Ave. The event is free, but seating is limited.
Moderating will be his wife and writing partner, Jeannie Noth Gaffigan, a Milwaukee native — and, like Gaffigan himself, the product of one of those old-fashioned big families. He's the youngest of six, she's the oldest of nine.
Because the Noths throw great family reunions, "I think we spend more time in Milwaukee than any place besides New York and L.A.," Gaffigan said in a recent phone interview. As fans of the comic know, that includes what has become a yearly ritual of New Year's Eve shows at the Pabst Theater.
To hear Gaffigan tell it in "Dad Is Fat," the five kids were mostly Jeannie's idea, one that he was helpless to disagree with but has grown to appreciate. (His wife, he writes, is "so fertile I (don't) even let her hold avocados.") The two-bedroom apartment is, well, something they're hoping to put behind them before long.
"It's hard to move a pregnant woman," Gaffigan explained on the phone, "and Jeannie's pretty much always pregnant."
So until something bigger comes along, two bedrooms it is. In answer to the inevitable questions, Gaffigan has even included helpful drawings in the book showing who sleeps where.
Mom and Dad occupy one bedroom, with a crib for the baby. The other bedroom has three beds and another crib for the 1-year-old. Getting all those kids into all those beds is a topic he covers in a chapter called "Negotiating With Terrorists."
Then there's bath time, a horror from which his younger offspring flee "as if they have an escape car outside," he writes.
"I don't know where they think they are going. They can't even reach the doorknob. (I tell them), 'What are you doing? You only know us! Think it through!'
"They can't really go stay with a friend or check into a motel, but that doesn't stop them. It doesn't matter if they don't have a plan. They are just trying to leave."
Apart from his stand-up act, Gaffigan is probably best known for his role as the main character's older brother in the 2006-'09 TBS comedy "My Boys." That led to several offers to star in a family sitcom of his own, but he and Jeannie are so attached to New York that the idea of relocating to Los Angeles, where almost all comedies are shot, just didn't appeal.
In March, however, he did a CBS pilot in New York opposite actress Mira Sorvino for a half-hour comedy based on his stand-up act — and, yes, his family. It would be nice to have a series, he acknowledged, but anyone who's been in show business as long as the 47-year-old Gaffigan doesn't count his sitcoms before they're hatched.
Undoubtedly, the network will be watching sales of "Dad Is Fat" to gauge Gaffigan's national appeal. And speaking of that title, which comes from the caption of a drawing one of his kids lovingly did of him, isn't he afraid that it may hurt the book's chances as a Father's Day present?
Gaffigan — who, it must be said, is pleasingly pudgy — has thought about that, and he has an answer.
"I tell people it's no insult to their dad," he said. "It's about me, not their father."

When: 7 p.m. June 15

Coach fired after dance team performed song Miley Cyrus made infamous
A Wisconsin high school dance coach has been fired after her team performed a routine to an edited version of "Blurred Lines," a popular song by Robin Thicke, the Wausau Daily Herald reports.
Lisa Jolin was fired from her job at Marshfield High School in August, after the dance team performed Aug. 23 at the first home football game. Days later, Thicke and Miley Cyrus performed the sexually suggestive — and what some describe as misogynistic — song at the MTV Video Music Awards. »Read Full Article(56)

If you're in Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Diego on Christmas Day (December 25), you might be looking for something to do or someplace to go. As you might expect, most places will be closed for the holiday. But you do have many really fun choices for things to do in SoCal cities. Here are the top picks. Please make sure you check with the venues for any last minute updates.
8 Things to do in SoCal on Christmas Day 2015
- Tour the Tourist Attractions. SoCal has more amazing theme parks and attractions in fewer square miles that just about anywhere else. Want to know who's gates are open on December 25 (most with deals available)?
- San Diego Zoo: open Christmas Day
- Safari Park: open Christmas Day
- Disneyland: open Christmas Day
- LEGOLAND California: open Christmas Day
- Universal Studios: open Christmas Day
- Queue up the Queen Mary. The Queen Mary in Long Beach has a holiday event called CHILL, an ice kingdom and holiday village complete with ice skating, Santa sitings, Christmas trees, gingerbread decorating, carolers and more. It's open on December 25. Act fast, though, because these tickets sell out.
- See a Holiday Show. Even on December 25, you can still get tickets, at a discount (while they last) to see That Lovin' Feelin' in North Hollywood. The show tells the story of The Righteous Brothers, featuring more than 20 hit R&B songs, including "Unchained Melody," "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin," and "Justine." Discount tickets are available (for now) or you can go direct.
- See the 7 Caves by Kayak. You can book a tour to kayak to the 7 caves in La Jolla. The tours run on Christmas Day, so you can enjoy up-close views of the beautiful marine life, sea cliffs and seven caves of the La Jolla Ecological Reserve on a two-hour guided kayaking tour. No experience is necessary for this fun excursion, and life-jackets are providedGo ice skating. Downtown on Ice at Pershing Square, the outdoor holiday skating rink (South Olive Ave in Los Angeles, across from the Millenium Biltmore), is open on Christmas Day from 1pm until 9pm.
- See the lights. Southern California features an array of neighborhoods known for their festive holiday lights displays, from Rodeo Drive to Griffith Park to The Grove, the Candy Cane Lanes, and more.
- Be very amused. Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier, is open all day on December 25, with free admission. Weather permitting, all rides, games and food booths will be open, but you can call 310-260-8744 to confirm. On Christmas afternoon, you can hop on over to the weird and wacky Bunny Museum in Pasadena (1933 Jefferson Drive), for a look at ridiculous rabbit related objects. The museum is open for visits 365 days a year by appointment, so be sure to call first.
- Find a fun flick. Just want to chill out? Check the movie schedules to see what's playing on December 25. Many theaters are open for business on Christmas Day.
- Make dinner reservations. You'll find dozens of restaurants serving special holiday dinners on December 25 in the Los Angeles/Orange County area, according to Open Table. If you're into unholiday traditions, check out the Chinese restaurants.

It's practically impossible to lose money owning cheap land in the United States if you buy it cheap enough and hold it long enough. While they last, 80-Acre (quarter mile by half mile) in Humboldt County Nevada for $15,999 cash (just $200/Acre). Seller pays for escrow and closing costs!
CheapRuralProperty.com specialized in selling the cheapest 40 and 80 Acre parcels of land in Northern Nevada. Cheap rural property investments are simple, low cost and safe. The property tax on our 40 and 80 acre parcels is less than $60 per year making them affordable long term investments. Unlike other low cost investments land can be used or developed and enjoyed while you're buying it. There are no safer investment opportunities than in cheap rural property: (a) land remains forever, (b) it is limited in quantity (they are not making any more of it), (c) it increases in value with or without improvement, and (d) nothing needs to happen to increase its value but the passage of time – it doesn't require any rezoning, or development activities of any kind, and it doesn't have to be in the path of growth. All that is required is the passing of time for it to acquire increased value. There are countless historical examples of this simple fact! Cheap rural property is an excellent long term, low cost investment opportunity!

Hey...what's up?Hi my name is Nick I'm a long time listener first time caller. I'm finally joining the 1up network after visiting the site for about a year now since this next-gen madness came about. This site offers a nice distraction from the hectic life I lead so I figured why not start adding to the conversation. I'd say i'm in the nintendo camp, but I do play a lot of my roommate's 360 and I enjoy a game experience wherever it comes from.

This review is from: Ergotron 33-323-200 DS100 Triple-Monitor Desk Stand
Pros: This stand is excellent quality and comes with the parts to attach to any standard VESA monitor. Assembly was straightforward and my three monitors are held great.
Cons: You CAN NOT use this stand with two monitors; it's weighted for monitors of equal size on each arm. You also need a friend or a long table to assemble it, since it will tip over while you're in the process of putting the monitors on the mount.
Other Thoughts: I decided to go with three monitors on a whim and after setting things up, I'm not embarrassed to have people over to my house. If you're not landing planes or purchasing for a business, ask yourself: do I REALLY need three monitors?READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-A05NB Black Aluminum ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Pros: Same high Lian Li build quality I've come to expect. No sharp edges, lots of parts included, excellent thumbscrews and solid build.
Cons: The build quality is great, but I think this case was designed by a mad scientist. The power supply sits at the front bottom of the case with a cord that reaches around, so hot air blows up onto your video cards. The airflow is also reversed, with the case trying to suck in air through the side grilles on the front.
With the stock cooler my CPU reached 88 degrees after 5 minutes of torture testing (100 degrees is where the motherboard shuts off to protect itself.) I bought Lian Li part T-LM14B-2, a replacement for the top of this case that puts a 140mm fan on top, and my temps dropped 20 degrees. By itself, this is NOT a performance case.
Other Thoughts: My last computer had a Lian Li mid-tower case that I really liked, so I got this one as a slightly smaller alternative. Don't make my mistake--Lian Li's build quality is top-notch, but the ventilation and heat build-up in this case are awful.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS VH226H Black 21.5" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen 16:9 Full HD 1080P LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 12000:1 (1000:1) Built in Speakers
Pros: Very good quality. I bought three of these simultaneously and everyone arrives working perfectly, with no dead pixels. 1920x1080 resolution is great, and they monitors even come with DVI cables!
Cons: I didn't buy these for the speakers--didn't even realize they had them--and you shouldn't either. I'm tone deaf and even I can tell how bad they are. Music sounds like somebody shouting into a tin can in a closet.READ FULL REVIEW

Journey Homeby Toni Eubanks
Journey Home is the story of Tamara Woodson, who lives in the American West in the 1880s. She is smart and sassy, and has a mind of her own. Like many black families of that era following slavery, her family traveled west and founded their own town. Tamara Woodson is at a turning point in her life. She begins a journey of self-discovery that reveals important connections to her ancestral past. Prompted by her ambitions and experiences, she prepares herself for an uncertain future. At one point, Tamara's fears are expressed in a dream that intertwines a Nigerian Yoruba folktale. She learns to interpret important symbols. At another, Tamara learns about the Apache Indian culture from a girl who is preparing for her own elaborate coming of age ceremony. Exposure to these two cultures helps Tamara validate the values and traditions of others as well as her own. As she matures, Tamara learns to let go of her own fears and to rely on her inner strength. Journey Home is book one in the juvenile historical fiction series, "Passage to Womanhood."

Super Moisturizing
Posted by Reviewer2157957 on Aug 11, 2011
These lip balms are some of the most moisturizing I have ever used. The effects last for hours without having to constantly reapply. My only problem is that I find them a little hard, but if you pop it in your pocket for a couple of hours and let it melt the texture improves greatly and stays that way. The Black Cherry scent is a bit mild, but nice and sweet.

Published by FAB Press
With such a long history of working in the cinema and such a strange plethora of subjects covered in his movies, you'd think there would be more books written about Italian frightmaster Dario Argento. Sure, his films are not for everyone, but then neither are Alfred Hitchcock's, and look how many books there are about him. I guess it's good though, since an over-saturation of information would eventually lead to scandalous rumors about the man, plus it leaves the playing field open for a book like Alan Jones' Profondo Argento.
Taking interviews and set visits Jones has done over the years, plus truckloads of new information that goes all the way up to Argento's latest foray into television, "Do You Like Hitchcock?" Jones has managed to put together not only one of the best book ever written to give fans a real idea of what Argento is like as an artist, but also one of FAB Press's most readable books yet.
Usually when I think of FAB I think of BIG, and this book certainly succeeds in that category, featuring over 300 double-column, small-type pages and hundreds of stills and behind the scenes photos from all of Argento's efforts. What I mean is looking at it is intimidating, like most of FAB's releases tend to be, but this was honestly one of the easiest times I've had getting through one of their books. Alan Jones doesn't utilize the book's space to delve into the meaning behind Argento's films or what may have happened to the man to cause him to take such pleasure in the cinematic suffering of others. Instead he does what a film journalist does best: he delivers facts and stories based on what he's witnessed and how those around him view Dario Argento, the director. What this does is make the book essentially one long, Argento-filled issue of Fangoria, to put it most simply. And it's really hard to put down.
From The Bird With Crystal Plumage to The Card Player, every single one of Argento's films to date are covered through set visits, features, and interviews, which the book also features in spades. Everyone from Dario's former wife and mother of Asia, Daria Nicolodi, protégé Michele Soavi, fellow director George Romero, effects man Sergio Stivaloetti…pretty much anyone that's worked beside Argento for any extended period of time gets their space to discuss the man and his work. The overall impression you get of Dario Argento is that he's a very difficult man to work with because of his boundless energy and imagination and his refusal to do anything that he feels might endanger the chances of his vision making its way to the screen intact. Some people have an obvious distaste for him as a person, but no one can refute his talent as a director, and that just goes to show the extent to which Dario is dedicated to his work.
Most of the films covered also feature a review immediately following them culled from various publications Jones has contributed to over the years, and no matter how loving the feature preceding it was, if the movie was terrible Jones is the first to say it. This goes a long way to show his credibility as a writer because even though he's a personal friend with Dario and his entire family, he will rip a movie to pieces (Phenomena is the most glaring example) if he feels Argento cheapened himself to make the film. I always appreciate this in a critic, and especially so when said cricitic is so close with the films' creator, which only helps make the book that much more enjoyable for me. It's bullshit-free, and that always makes for good reading.
Ultimately, the best thing I can say about this book is that it truly is a must-have for all Argento-philes. The only issue with a statement like that is true Argento-philes will most likely have already purchased it. If, however, you're on the fence and not sure if it's worth you hard-earned money just trust me when I say you're not going to find a better, more honest and well written book on the work of Dario Argento. Get it as soon as you can.
