People who travel to Kiev know that the Ukrainian capital has a vibrant night scene. It has plenty of excellent bars, cafes, and venues for top notch entertainment. But in the summer, whether you are staying in one of the fine Kiev hotels, or enjoying a budget package in your choice of Kiev apartments, you might want to take a couple of days to visit Odessa, Ukraine's hot spot on the Black Sea.

This energetic city of over a million people is the summer vacation capital not only for Ukraine, but also for much of Eastern Europe. This is only partly because Odessa is close to some of the Black Sea's best beaches. A major factor for Odessa's popularity is that it has a rocking night life that attracts Ukrainians, and also draws foreign tourists away from their accommodations in Kiev and other Ukrainian vacation spots.

Arkadiya is Odessa's largest and most popular beach. You can reach it by taking the tram. From May to September it is also the number one scene of beach club night life. This is where you can book tables in glitzy clubs so you can watch fashion shows, professional dance performances, and pop concerts. The entertainment goes on until well after midnight, and it includes opera, ballet, dramatic theater, folk music, and performances by the Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra. If you're coming here from a Kiev hotel, it's a good idea to book your tickets in advance. Zolotoy Bereg (Golden Shore) is a bit farther away, but the beach here is fantastic. Also check out the beaches at Riviera, Kurortnyy, Chaika, Lanzheron, and Otrada. At Otrada you can avoid the steep steps down to the beach by taking the funicular. It's inexpensive, and fun.

Wherever you go in Odessa, you will find great food. The central streets of the city are lined with cafes, restaurants, and kiosks that offer everything from fine dining to budget meals to tasty quick snacks. American-style fast food is there for people who want it, but why eat burgers and fries when there is delicious Ukrainian fare to be had? If you want to buy some packaged foods to take home with you, check out the huge grocery store in the basement of the Galeria Afena in Gretchevskaya Square.

Odessa's night spots offer a great variety of music. Depending on where you go, you can hear standard Russian pop music, Ukrainian folk, and everything in between. The good spots have live bands and dancing. Check in advance for special promotions such as ladies free nights, and ladies only nights. For the more popular places, you might have to call as early as three days in advance to reserve a table near the dance floor.

A side trip to Odessa from your accommodations in Kiev should not be difficult. Odessa is served by road, air, and rail. A night in Odessa could very well be the highlight of your Ukrainian vacation.

How can the church remain relevant while communicating the unchanging integrity of God's truth? Author Tim Stevens makes an inspiring case for leveraging pop culture to reach out to people in the language of their lives. He offers a new perspective that gives relevance and impact to the church by using pop culture meeting people in the real world with words, sounds and images that speak to them. He encourages us to get out of our comfort zones and look people in the eyes, meeting them wherever they are, relating to their problems and society's challenges--even celebrating pop culture, where there are exciting signs of spiritual seeking. Pop Goes the Church will open your mind to church in a way that breaks down walls, engages the culture and speaks to a generation that needs to hear good news."

Pop Culture Goes to War (Paperback) $78.37 "One of the most impressive aspects of Pop Culture Goes to War is the extent to which the topics and arguments are well documented, usually with sources drawn from a variety of disciplines and points of view. A work of this sort is much needed at a time when U.S. military power, domestic and global, is expanding at a time when the political and popular cultures are increasingly being shaped by military priorities and agendas." Carl E. Boggs, National University at Los Angeles"This book provides an essential guide for the public to identify and deconstruct the pro-war messages lurking in much of commercial popular culture, including myths complicit with President Obama`s sugar-coated militarism. Readers then learn how this menace to a potentially peaceful America can be subverted and reclaimed by and for a savvy public. Commendably, the authors` clearly written text avoids jargon, making their crucial analysis available to a broad audience." Thomas Conroy, coeditor of Constructing America`s War Culture: Iraq, Media, and the War at Home"Geoff Martin and Erin Steuter`s Pop Culture Goes to War presents a compelling overview of popular culture`s responses to the George W. Bush led `War on Terror.` I found it readable, informative, and insightful, and I highly recommend it as a textbook or supplemental text for courses in sociology, history, and popular culture." Tom Pollard, author of Sex and Violence: The Hollywood Censorship WarsPop Culture Goes to War explores the persistence of militarism in American popular culture in the War on Terror, from 9/11 to the present day. Geoff Martin and Erin Steuter detail the role of Hollywood and the entertainment industries in rallying both the troops and the public for war and show how toys, video games, music, and television support contemporary militarism. At the same time that popular culture is enlisting support for militarism, it is also serving as a major source of resistance to the War on Terror throug
