Jail is a place feared by many, but not everyone has had the privilege of getting an entire tour of one. As a police explorer, I got a rare behind the scenes look of Santa Rita jail last week.

Santa Rita looks nothing like a jail from the outside. In fact, it’s often mistaken for a community college, which is what the builders were aiming for. Once inside, however, it’s beyond obvious that this is in fact a place that holds thousands of criminals and those accused of crimes.

In 1978, two guys came across a great recipe for deep dish pizza and opened the first BJ’s Chicago Pizzeria in Santa Ana, California. The pizza became a hit and more BJ’s were opened along the southern coast of California. Later on it expanded up north and finally has spread to Newark.

This restaurant is a great place to dine for a date, or with the family and friends. It’s a lively place to go.

“First comes marriage. Then comes divorce. And then...Divorced...with benefits.”

Meryl Streep plays a divorced mother of three grown kid and owns a bakery/restaurant in the film It's Complicated.

She has been divorced for ten years and meets her ex–husband for dinner at their son’s graduation and from there things go a little crazy. Her ex–husband Jake, played by Alec Baldwin is already married to a much younger woman, Agnes, who is played by Lake Bell. Now Meryl Streep, who plays the character of Jane, is technically the other women or mistress since she is having an affair with her ex.

From wikipedia:
Pierre Gassendi (January 22, 1592 – October 24, 1655) was a French philosopher, priest, scientist, astronomer, and mathematician. With a church position in south-east France, he also spent much time in Paris, where he was a leader of a group of free-thinking intellectuals. He was also an active observational scientist, publishing the first data on the transit of Mercury in 1631. The lunar crater Gassendi is named after him.

Read Concerning Happiness, from the works of Pierre Gassendi (1592 - 1655) arranged by Francois Bernier (1620-1688).
