The Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival
The Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festivale (SVSFF) is a relatively unknown film festival (at least, I’d never heard of it) which accoridng to their website “is a celebration of human spirituality through film”. This year in the festival, the HESA Institute and intentional chocolate are bringing their own film to the proceedings titled “Cracking the Cosmic Egg”. Both the HESA Institute and Itentional Chocolate are led by CEO Jim Walsh. Considered one of the world’s leading experts on food, he is widely published and quoted in newspapers, journals, TV and radio. Walsh also serves as Chairman of the Board of Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate since 1992 and Intentional Chocolate since 2007. Walsh’s involvements are dedicated to the single objective of creating products that nourish both body and spirit to improve the quality of life for all beings.
According to HESA’s website, their goal is “to improve nutrition, health and wellness through scientific research on the human energy system, defined as the energetic and informational processes that sustain and support life.” Sounds like a fairly humanitarian goal to me. The fotter of the Intentional Chocolate website also just goes to show how much work Walsh is doing to help people. “Intentional Chocolate™ donates 50 percent of its net profits to organizations committed to the benefit of humankind.” Find out how they do just that here.
Anyway, the film being entered (Crack the Cosmic Egg) is a short film and presentation to an exciting new frontier where science and spirituality combine to improve the human condition. Definitely one to look out for and that shows a lot of promise. Here’s to wishing it well in the festival. Check out the video below for more information on the festival, and the websites below for even more information.

Remember my previous post on NetSpend? Well, I thought I’d reiterate my beliefs on their product. After digging a little deeper, I did find out that NetSpend make it far easier to acquire their Prepaid Card than I orginally thought. Using a Diect Deposit, you can have your paycheck deposited immediately into your NetSpend account. While not ideal for a lot of people, it certainly does make it simple and easy. You can pay bills online, and the system is safer than just carrying money around. If your card is stolen, just stop topping it up. It’s that simple.
Easy, and very useful. The best thing about this is if you’re a college student. I personally would like to have one, as I’m going on holiday soon on my own. Should I run out of money and need to book into a hotel, it’s a simple matter to just have someone back home top up my card for me. I’d recommend this for anyone whom, for whatever reason, cannot get their hands on a normal Credit Card.
Funny Exam Answers
We’ve all heard the urban legends about students bolding answering exams. There is the famous philosophy exam where the professor simply writes “Why?” on the final and the student responds with a simple, “Why Not?” There is also the “What is bravery” exam question answered only by, “This is.” While those myths sound intriguing to any student, do you ever wonder if anyone has had the guts to actually write that stuff on exams?
Well, yes they have. And fortunately for us someone has made a compilation Funny exam answers shows you the boldness - or straight foolishness - of some exam takers. Enjoy!
PhillyD.tv
The number of hours wasted by yours truly on this website is, well….I could have built myself a house.
PhillyD.tv has the many, many videos of Philip de Franco. The most common (and funniest) videos are those in the category “The Show”. There’s a new video up everyday Monday-Thursday (they recently changed their schedule. It might change back). During the show Philly comments on recent news stories. Usually in a sarcastic manner. Funny, crude and a brilliant waste of times.
Definitely worth checking back everyday. Each episode of The Show is roughly 3 minutes long. So perfect to watch while eating lunch at work, unless you want to go back through the archives. Then you’re easily going to waste a few hours.
