The MovieLounge, Fort Smith's unique film, fine dining and entertainment venue, is preparing to go into the expo center business.
The MovieLounge, Fort Smith�s unique film, fine dining and entertainment venue, is preparing to go into the expo center business.
Dwight Curry, co-owner of the MovieLounge at 7601 Rogers Ave., confirmed Friday that plans are moving forward on converting the 12,000-square-foot space at 7609 Rogers Ave. that formerly occupied Old Navy into an exposition center to accommodate events larger than the MovieLounge can handle.
�We�ve been turning away events that would bring 500, 600 or 700 people that we can�t accommodate in our existing space,� said Curry.
He said MovieLounge operators had considered moving into the vacant space three doors down for some time and had engaged in conversations with architects and with city planners on the feasibility of the expansion.
�We were kicking the tires,� Curry said, when they got word of Thursday�s announcement that Health Management Associates planned to lease a large portion of the Phoenix Expo Trade and Event Center and convert it to a regional service center, leaving the future of that business uncertain.
�The announcement said, �It�s the time,�� Curry said.
Plans are to �fast-track� the project, he explained. A design team is in place developing plans, technical issues are being studied, and a contractor is on standby awaiting completion of the preliminary work and city permit approval to begin work.
If everything works as it should, Curry said, the MovieLounge Expo Center should be ready to open in June or July.
Curry said the MovieLounge already has dishes and glassware for catering, and the old retail space can easily be redesigned as needed.
�We�ve been considering how to utilize the space,� Curry said, calling the venture �a great business opportunity that we thought we would get into. Now we feel it is better to do it sooner than later.�
The Old Navy store moved to the Target-anchored Fort Smith Pavilion in early 2009.

The VFG confirmed my dating of these Burberrys labels- this classic Men's trench coat is from the 1930s. Note the "B" within the shield and the early version of "Prorsum" within the banner.
All vintage collectors do it. We imagine the past lives of our found garments.
A cocktail dress with original tags? Might have been intended for that cancelled date with that guy she really liked.
A Mid- Century button down shirt with pins, cardboard and other original packaging? Might have been an unliked gift from an out of town family member.
That classic leather satchel, with lots of wear and darkening? Clearly a favorite bag that saw daily use for many years.
So when I found this rare and very early Burberrys trench coat- I was quite curious.
Old enough to have seen wars and easily survived them. And in better shape than many other later issue ones I normally find- a sure sign of true and lasting quality.
Double breasted, ten button front, front right shoulder flap, slash pockets at hips with button closures, original belt, wrist cinch belts and wool liner included.
The only button missing? The one under the right shoulder flap- and here you can see the original thread- more like twine! The lower button shown must have been moved down at some point and attached with normal thread.
The leather covered adjustment buckles are STILL fully covered in leather. Some light rubbed wear only. What else is different?
That's right! Pale greenish- leather sleeve end details.
Pre- metal collar hook or under collar buckle strap attachment- the left side of the collar has a button hole and the underside of the right collar has two corresponding buttons. Often seen to this day on the single breasted styles.
Another unusual feature? The wool button out liner has sleeves. For as long as I can remember (and on the coutless vintage Burberrys trenches I've sold over the years), the button out wool liners are vest style/ sleeveless.
The coat is lined in a lightweight wool plaid flannel- a pattern that is still used in some of the Spring weight trenches. The Nova Check was invented in approximately 1920, both plaids are still used by Burberry to this day.
The sleeves are lined in a heavy cotton weave- about the same color as the exterior.
Outer feels almost like a canvas, and has worn incredibly well over the many years this coat has seen.
Are there any condition issues? Yes, though less than you'd expect.
There is some darkening to the inner collar, especially around the back of the neck.
One button is missing- likely moved down at some point- as noted. The thread was a good choice but not a perfect match.
The removable wool liner has some moth damage.
Some light discoloration throughout- but this is made up for when you notice the hand- finished details on the lining and the undersides of the button holes.
Weighing nearly 6 lbs., this measures to a Men's modern US L (with a 52.5" chest) and will be available soon. As soon as I stop marvelling over it's wonderful history, that is.
A bit of extra Burberrys history:
Trenches are constructed of the Thomas Burberry- invented gabardine fabric- a hard wearing and tightly woven cotton, which is then waterproofed.
The first (and original) Burberrys trench coat was commissioned by the British War Office in 1914.

The distribution is the culmination of the district's internal "Share the Warmth" winter clothing drive organized by IID employees. Since mid-November, employees have been making financial contributions and filling collection boxes located throughout the district with more than 700 articles of clothing, including, new sweaters, blankets, beanies, gloves, jackets, thermals, socks and more to benefit the children.
"We are fortunate to have the IID step up to meet an unmet, basic need," said CASA Board President Chuck Fisher, whose agency represents 400 foster care children. "The foster care journey can be traumatic. Clothing is something these children can take from place to place. It's a perfect gift."
CASA of Imperial County has been advocating for foster youth for over 23 years in all areas of the county, including the Quechan Tribal Reservation. More than 70 active CASA advocates serve as guardians, representing the best interests of abused and neglected children by providing them a voice and a hope for a future.
The IID employees who organized the district's winter clothing drive encouraged their fellow workers to "work together to make this a more cheerful season for the communities we serve." The Coachella Valley Rescue Mission received clothing donated by IID employees from the district's La Quinta Division.
Said IID Board President Bruce Kuhn: "It's heart-warming to see this most worthy cause be so successful, touching so many lives. We're proud of IID's commitment to serve the community and moved by the generosity extended to others, especially during this time of year."

Hopping back
I've not yet gone crazy with baby purchases but I did have to pick up a couple of things from the Peter RABBIT collection for Baby Gap. I used to read the story of Peter Rabbit to my brother when he was a baby (it began a lifelong dislike of chamomile tea, which was unfortunate as I used to have to drink it for my migraines, bleurgh). I especially like the babygrow, because, being the spawn of Bartimaeus, there's a good chance the Mini Bun is going to add substantially to my grey hairs.
I've been reigning in the clothes spending, for obvious reasons, but I am really enjoying makeup at the moment so expect nail posts and pictures of my mug coming up soon. I've also been putting together a compilation of songs for the baby, and have been reading a lot more, so reviews and bits of music may also find their way here.
How are you all?

Awww I'm sue Emma has that hat for Alex xxxReplyDeleteReplies
She does indeed! we've always had similar taste in clothes so it stands to reason we have the same taste in baby clothes too! :)Delete
Awwww that hat and babygro are so cute! Congratulations to both of you :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you my dear! xxxDelete
Yay, another June baby, mine is due on the 5th, when's yours?ReplyDelete
We didnt find out the sex (not for want of trying)at the scan so I'm finding it hard to get enthusiastic about buying anything, not that i'd make it all pink or blue anyway, but I guess i'm just not feeling it!
I also started up a 'baby blog' with a friend who has a 3 month old, its here: www.therealisticmumsclub.com
give me a shout if you ever want to compare/rant/chat about anything! xxxxReplies
Ooh I will take a look and subscribe to that!Delete
I'm due on 28th (so it will probably be a July baby as they say the first is always late?) Not had the 20 wk scan yet so I opted for gender neutral colours - but am not a huge fan of the blue/pink obsession anyhow. We do want to find out, but it might be that "maternal build" (i.e. FAT) gets in the way ;) You'll be inundated with stuff as gifts so I reckon it's best not to go crazy with the purchases until they've arrived anyway! xxx
Congratulations :) xxReplyDeleteReplies
thank you Heather, we're very excited! xxxDelete
I cannot wait to see pictures of your baby in the hat, ir is so adorable.ReplyDelete
I really feel for you with the sickness, i was ill right up until i had Alex and it was horrible. I hope yours eases soon xReplies
Aw, Emma, if the pics are half as cute as yours of Alex I'll be happy! I bought them both in 6-12m as a summer baby will have to wait a while to wear a woolly hat!Delete
Oof - sorry to hear you suffered all the way through. I'm definitely not as bad as I was (6/7 times a day at the beginning) so am managing - it's only that commuting is rather grim!
Spawn of Bartimaeus, excellent :D I absolutely adore the hat and babygro as already said elsewhere!ReplyDelete
I think the idea of a compilation of songs for the aforementioned spawn is absolutely great, I'd love to see what you come up with :)
Really sorry the nausea hasn't settled down yet, that must be rubbish.Replies
Every now and again (especially when Bartimaeus is being particularly megalomaniacal) I wonder about whether to call it Damien...Delete
will post up songs soon - rather an eclectic mix! xxx

Blind and partially sighted people are being invited to activities taking place in Peterborough on World Sight Day.
World Sight Day (Thursday 12 October) is an opportunity to focus global attention on vision impairment. Peterborough City Council's Sensory Support Team has set up two key events on the day with the aim of connecting residents to services and to each other for advice and support.
Events being held in Peterborough on the day include:
White Cane Coffee Morning - Costa Coffee, Queensgate - 9.30 to 11am
Any Peterborough resident with a white cane and registered with a sight loss, can get a free cup of tea or coffee (sponsored by Peterborough Ortons Rotary Club and subsidised by manager, Adam). Adam has provided a reserved area for users of white canes and sighted guides will be on hand, to assist if required.
Drop-in Services for the Blind and Partially Sighted - Central Library, Broadway, 2 to 5pm
Open to anyone who wants to learn about the positive things happening for those with sight loss. Sighted guides will be available from the entrance.
Librarians will be standing-by to show blind and partially sighted residents how to download free audio books. Representatives from Calibre (the audio book charity) will also be demonstrating new user-friendly downloads. Bring along your smart-device for assistance. The local talking newspaper will also be there to ask what you would like from them, from 3-5pm.
Ever heard of Goalball or Boccia? Matt Taylor, disability sports development officer for Vivacity will be at Central Library from 2pm until 3pm. He has inclusive and adapted sports and pastimes. Come and challenge him to find a sport you can do, despite your sight problems.
The sensory support team from the city council's Adult Social Care department will also be available to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of sight loss.
Martin Borrill, one of Peterborough City Council's rehabilitation officers (vision impairment) from sensory support said: "World Sight Day is a global event but local people in Peterborough can do their bit.
"It has been proven many times, how rehabilitation gives a massive boost to someone's independence, self-esteem and well-being after they start to lose their sight. In Peterborough, around the UK and in developed countries, we have the resources to give people the opportunity to learn the skills to do everything independently despite their sight loss and on World Sight Day we focus on the positive.
"We're delighted that the Rotary Club of Peterborough Ortons, Costa Coffee, Calibre Talking Books, Peterborough Talking Newspaper and staff at Vivacity have agreed to help us celebrate World Sight Day, raising the profile and supporting more than a thousand vision impaired residents in our community."
Anyone who would like support, but is unable to attend the activities should contact Peterborough City Council's sensory support team on 01733 747474.
Additionally, a qualified rehabilitation officer is available to speak directly, every first and third Wednesday of the month from 1pm to 3pm.

Tennessee Shakespeare Gala
Last night was the Gala for the Tennessee Shakespeare Company. It was my dad's first date (more or less -- it's hard to completely define these things after decades of friendship) with his new bride, also known as my former favorite English teacher and theater buddy. I could not be more delighted and went with them to celebrate.
Here are a couple of sketches from the auction portion of the evening. I'm glad to always have a sketchpad in my purse these days.

Important stories of our time: Marky Mark nearly predicts Oscars
Tuesday February 28th 2012
One of the more interesting stories in The Sun last Saturday was the revelation that Mark Wahlberg knew who was going to win the Oscars because he's "got a friend at Pricewaterhouse" [the company who certify the votes for the Oscars]. Speaking to The Sun's Beci Wood, Wahlberg said:
"It's not a matter of who I want to win, it's who I know is going to win."
Can't you just picture his face when he came out with that line? I can. It looks like this:
The paper didn't print all of his predictions (presumably for fear that Marky Mark's prescience could cause the global collapse of the Oscar betting market) but they did offer a few choice tips. I've bolded up the ones he got right:
Best Picture – The Artist
Best Actor – Jean Dujardin
Best Actress – Viola Davis
Best Supporting Actor – Christopher Plummer
Best Supporting Actress – Octavia Spencer
Best Cinematography – Hugo
Best Costume Design – Hugo
Best Sound Editing – Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Best Art Direction – Hugo
Only six out of nine? And they were all the bookies' favourites? You'd be forgiven for thinking that Mark Wahlberg actually has no insider information about the Academy Awards whatsoever and is just making it all up to seem important.
You wouldn't want to write that down though — it would be libellous.

Thought to share this article about Breanna Youn, a jet setting baby girl who became an internet sensation with her 1million followers:
The reason I find this story to be interesting is because,
1) It took 7 months for this regular child to become an internet sensation with 1+ million followers. That's quite impressive!
2) Because of her popularity, she has internet benefactors who are sponsoring the entire lifestyle of her and her family. That's like being a proper "sugarbaby" (if you get my joke). No but really, what are the odds for having online sponsors of this kind?
3) She is damn cute though I must admit. I was going through her Instagram account and her personality and charisma just shines through. Someone should sign her with a modelling/acting agency because this little girl got that wow factor.

Alcides Moreno plunged 47 stories that morning last month, clinging to his 3-foot-wide window washer's platform as it shot down the dark glass face of an Upper East Side apartment building. His brother Edgar, who had been working with him on the platform, was killed.
Somehow, Alcides Moreno survived.
He was given roughly 24 pints of blood and 19 pints of plasma and underwent an operation to open his abdomen in the emergency room because, his doctor said, they did not want to risk moving him to an operating room. As December went on, he endured nine orthopedic operations.
Yet somehow, Alcides Moreno, the man who fell from the sky, survived.
In his hospital room, amid all the machines that helped keep him alive, his wife, Rosario, lifted his hand again and again to stroke her face and her hair, hoping against hope that a simple tactile sensation would remind him, would help bring him back.
Then on Christmas Day, Alcides Moreno reached out — and stroked the wrong face.
"Apparently he tried to do it to one of the nurses," Rosario Moreno said on Thursday, describing how she chided him, gently, when she was told what had happened. "I looked at him and said, 'You're not supposed to do that. I'm your wife, you touch your wife.'"
For the first time since the accident on Dec. 7, he spoke.
"He turned around and, in English, said, 'What did I do?'" she said. "It stunned me because I didn't know he could speak."Continue reading the main story
Surrounded by doctors who had helped save her husband, Mrs. Moreno told her story at a press conference at which medical professionals with long years of experience in treating traumatic injuries used words like "miraculous" and "unprecedented" to describe something that seems remarkable: a man who fell nearly 500 feet into a Manhattan alleyway is now talking and, with a little more luck, a few more operations and some rehabilitation therapy, may well walk again.
"If you are a believer in miracles, this would be one," said Dr. Philip S. Barie, the chief of the division of critical care at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan, where Mr. Moreno, 37, is being treated.
"We are very pleased — dare I say astonished? — at the level of recovery that this patient has enjoyed so far," he added, "and although there is more work to be done, we are very optimistic for his prospects for survival."
Optimistic though they were, the doctors tempered their discussion of Mr. Moreno's prospects with some pragmatism. He will undergo surgery today to stabilize his spine. Sometime after that, he faces another orthopedic operation. Then there will be long months in rehabilitation.
But they predicted that his recovery would be complete in about a year.
Asked at the press conference whether Mr. Moreno would walk again, Dr. Barie said, "We believe so, yes." He noted that Mr. Moreno's pelvis had not been injured in the fall. Dr. Barie also said that all the injuries to Mr. Moreno's legs — some 10 fractures — had been "repaired" except one.
"Our goal is not just survival, but functional survival," he said.
Still, Dr. Barie suggested that Mr. Moreno had taken the team treating him into largely uncharted medical territory. Dr. Barie said Mr. Moreno's medical team had had no experience with someone who had fallen so far. He said that falls from even three stories can be fatal if the victim hits his or her head on landing.
"Above 10 stories, most of the time we never see the patients because they usually go to the morgue," Dr. Barie said, though he added that the staff at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell had treated — and had written a medical journal article about — a patient who survived a 19-story fall, less than half the distance Mr. Moreno fell.
"This is right up there with those anecdotes of people falling out of airplanes and surviving, people whose parachutes don't open and somehow they manage to survive," Dr. Barie said in an interview after the press conference. "We're talking about tiny, tiny percentages, well under 1 percent, of people who fall that distance and survive."
But Mr. Moreno, of Linden, N.J., confounded the odds from the beginning. He was sitting up when firefighters arrived at the building, the Solow Tower, at 265 East 66th Street. He was "on the borderline of consciousness" when he was wheeled into the emergency room, Dr. Barie said, despite serious injuries to his brain, his spine, his chest and his abdomen, along with several fractured ribs, a broken right arm and two broken legs.
Mrs. Moreno said her husband's determination had not vanished that day. "If anything, he keeps me going," she said.
A moment later she added: "He wants to go to rehab. He wants to start walking." She also said she had told him he was not going back to his old job.
She said their three children — ages 14, 8 and 6 — had visited their father, the two younger children only once. She said she had wanted to show them that "Mommy wasn't lying" and that "unlike Edgar, he's alive."
Mrs. Moreno said her husband apparently knew all along that his brother had died. She said that she did not tell him, but he mentioned it on Tuesday night. "He doesn't remember much about that day other than his brother passed," she said.
A full explanation for how the man survived, while his brother died, remained elusive. One theory is that Edgar Moreno, 30, was thrown from the platform as it sped toward the ground. One official who was at the scene said that part of Edgar Moreno's body was under the platform when rescuers arrived. But Dr. Barie also noted that Alcides Moreno had landed without striking his head.
Mrs. Moreno was asked more than once at the press conference why she believed her husband had survived. "He was trained," she said "He knew what to do with the platform" — meaning, according to other window washers, lie flat and ride it down.
But she also hinted that he was all too aware of the risks of the job. "Even knowing about his brother, not a tear came down, and they were very close," she said. "They lived together. They did everything together."
Mrs. Moreno said she did not know if her husband and brother-in-law had been worried about the safety of their scaffold that day. After the accident, another family member who is also a window washer, Jose Cumbicos, said they had mentioned their misgivings in a telephone call that morning. Mr. Cumbicos also said that the Morenos' supervisor had reassured them, saying a mechanical problem with their rig had been taken care of.
At least three agencies are investigating the accident.Continue reading the main story

The stem cell factor/KIT receptor loop may represent a novel target for molecular-based therapies of Ewing tumor. We analyzed the in vitro impact of KIT blockade by imatinib in Ewing tumor cell lines.
KIT expression was detected in 4 of 4 Ewing tumor cell lines and in 49 of 110 patient samples (44.5%) by immunohistochemistry and/or Western blot analysis. KIT expression was stronger in Ewing tumors showing EWS-FLI1 nontype 1 fusions. Despite absence of c-kit mutations, constitutive and ligand-inducible phosphorylation of KIT was found in all tumor cell lines, indicating an active receptor. Treatment with KIT tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib (0.5-20 micro M) induced down-regulation of KIT phosphorylation and dose response inhibition of cell proliferation (IC(50), 12-15 micro M). However, imatinib administered alone at doses close to IC(50) for growth inhibition (10 micro M) did not induce a significant increase in apoptosis. We then analyzed if blockade of KIT loop through imatinib (10 micro M) was able to increase the antitumor in vitro effect of doxorubicin (DXR) and vincristine (VCR), drugs usually used in Ewing tumor treatment. Addition of imatinib decreased in 15-20 and 15-36% of the proliferative rate of Ewing tumor cells exposed to DXR and VCR, respectively, and increased in 15 and 30% of the apoptotic rate of Ewing tumor cells exposed to the same drugs.
Inhibition of Ewing tumor cell proliferation by imatinib is mediated through blockade of KIT receptor signaling. Inhibition of KIT increases sensitivity of these cells to DXR and VCR. This study supports a potential role for imatinib in the treatment of Ewing tumor.

Weak rand proves no catalyst for hamstrung South African exports
South Africa's share of global exports fell by 15 percent between 2011 and 2014 the IMF said.
JOHANNESBURG - South Africa's struggling manufacturing sector has so far failed to capitalise on a weak currency to boost its exports, stymied by power shortages and rising wages.
Manufacturing in Africa's most industrialised economy flat lined in 2015 after nearly five years of slow growth, mirroring the steady decline of the economy, an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report released this week showed.
South Africa's share of global exports fell by 15 percent between 2011 and 2014 the IMF said, despite a weaker rand which would typically benefit manufacturers by making exports cheaper.
"Our analysis suggests that electricity bottlenecks, limited product market competition, and labour market constraints have reduced the responsiveness of firms' exports to the rand depreciation," the IMF report, released on Monday, said.
South Africa suffered severe power shortages in 2015 and near-daily black-outs in the first half of the year as state-owned Eskom's ageing coal-fired power stations buckled under increasing demand.
Power supply has since improved, and Eskom has said it expects no power cuts through winter, which runs to end-August.
The country's Treasury department estimated in 2015 that the power cuts shaved as much as 1 percent off GDP. But even with power supplies restored, the outlook is not good, with the central bank forecasting GDP will grow by 0.9 percent this year rather than by the 1.5 percent it previously predicted.
The rand has fallen nearly 27 percent against the dollar in the past year, and by more than 50 percent since 2009. Against the euro, pound and yuan - currencies of its major trading partners - it has shed over 22 percent in the past year.
Despite this apparently favourable currency tailwind, exports fell by 5.1 percent month-on-month in December, while inching up annually by 3.8 percent between 2014 and 2015, according to the South African Revenue Service.
"Clearly, rand weakness does not automatically translate into increased manufacturing production, especially when the sector is plagued by periodic electricity outages," chief economist at investment firm Stanlib Kevin Lings said.
South Africa relies on exports of fresh produce, precious metals, minerals, and motor vehicles. The latter, which accounted for 7.2 percent of GDP in 2014, saw exports slump 21.9 percent in January.
A weak rand has also hit importers whose input costs have risen, making competing with local rivals costlier, Statisics South Africa said.
The country's statistics agency also said the currency benefits were being eroded by inflation compared with the country's trading partners.
Inflation jumped to 6.2 year-on-year in January, just above the central bank's targeted upper limit of 6 percent.
A slowing global economy and low labour productivity in manufacturing of about one percent in the year to June 2015 also dented exports, Sanlam Investments economist Arthur Kamp said.
The IMF said it was small South African businesses and exporters, rather than dominant large manufacturers, that could benefit from the weaker rand.
South Africa's government is targeting growing small and medium enterprises through special economic zones, township economies and a black industrialist programme, the chief executive of trade group Business Unity South African said.
"The stimulation of the SMME (small, medium and micro-sized enterprises) sector is absolutely crucial. And not only by government but by the private sector too," Khanyisile Kweyama, who is also a member of the National Planning Commission behind the country's growth plan, told Reuters on Wednesday.

Australia is huge. So. Darn. Huge. Unfortunately, we get a skewed image of our world, by the skewed world maps we use. But the reality is, Australia is the same size as the lower 48 of the USA. Even here in little ole Exmouth Western
Australia it's easy to feel how vast this country is. Wide open.
Australia has a population of 25 million living in a country the same size as the USA. The USA has a population of 325 million. So it's easy to understand how big and empty it feels.
They call Western Australia WA and if you compare it to the state of Washington – also called WA – you will get a good feel for how big this place is.
You could put at least a dozen Washington WAs into Western Australia WA.
Sometimes we meet people who tell us they have traveled to the USA. We ask where they have been and they say- New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Fransisco. Sometimes it is also Grand Canyon and Orlando. Although I love all of these places, I always feel these people have not seen the real USA – that big open prairie, the purple mountains majesty, the crashing Pacific and the Great Lakes.
Here in Exmouth Western Australia I realize I find
myself guilty of the same. We will be heading to Ayers Rock next, then the Great Barrier Reef and on to Sydney. Seeing all the top sites but
are we seeing the real Australia?
So this is one of the reasons I am so thankful Arne said we needed to come here, and specifically to come to Western Australia where few tourists go. I love this town and this coast and I want to encourage others to love it too. So, here are the ten reasons I have fallen in love with Exmouth Western
- The Coast – the West coast of Western Australia is diverse, even here in this tiny part we have enjoyed. The amazing Ningaloo Reef is beautiful and the water is turquoise and the sand is white. It's pretty close to perfect. From the town of Exmouth Western Australia you're at the beach in
- The Marine Park – all along the coast here the marine park draws those who love the ocean. So much to love here as a diver or snorkeler or fisherman. Some of the world's most amazing creatures call this coast home at
some time during the year, including the largest fish in the world, the Whale Shark, the Humbpack Whale, Orca Whale, Manta Rays and many other kinds of rays, sharks of every kind and so many, many fish.
- Turtles – in addition to all the above mentioned sealife the Coast Range National Park is home to one of the largest turtle
nesting sites in the world. You can swim with the turtles by day, and at sunset or sunrise and sometimes other times you can watch the female turtles nest. They haul themselves out of the water and up to a safe spot in the dunes where they dig a nest and lay their eggs. They then go back to the ocean and leave their progeny to fend for themselves. Approximately 50 days later the eggs hatch en masse. If you are lucky you can witness the little babes scurry to the ocean, drawn by an inner compass telling them where to go. Incredible.
- Wildlife – it's more than just remarkable sea life around Exmouth Western Australia. Don't be surprised if you see an Emu walking down the sidewalk or through the little village.
Kangaroos? Definitely. There are three kinds of kangaroos in the area, the smaller Euro, the larger red and the grey. We've seen them all. We also saw two dingos – similar to
coyotes, they are nocturnal and hard to spot. We have seen a lot of lizards, including the Perentie, and a plethora of birds big and small.
- Hiking – the Coast Range National Park runs
for about 70km along the coast and provides several opportunities to get out of your car and see the rocky range and canyons dotted through the park. The favorite is the Yardie Creek at the end of the road. Surprising to see this
beautiful creek coming out of the dry and arid mountains. We also enjoyed visit the Charles Knife and Shothole Canyons for spectacular views as far as the eye can see. Caution is important in these wild, hot and
dry areas and you must carry plenty of water. A fly net for your face is also extremely important, as the flies are a real nuisance otherwise.
- The Village of Exmouth – tiny Exmouth Western Australia is home to about 2000 people. We visited in the late summer, after the kids had gone back to school. Few tourists are here at this time of year, although during the Australian summer months
(November – February) the population swells with many Australians and other visitors from around the world. We liked how quiet it was. Exmouth Western Australia has a nice grocery store, a handful of restaurants, a pharmacy, a hair and nail salon and a few
other shops. The town also has a very nice brand new "center" that includes a visitor information center, senior center, library, and meeting rooms.
- Craft Beer – for a small town we were very happy to find not one, but TWO craft
breweries. Froth Craft and Whalebone both had excellent locally made brews and food. We spent one Saturday evening at Whalebone listening to the band our Airbnb host is in. So fun! Our server at Whalebone
that night was the same woman who was our server for lunch at the local Vegan Social Society a few days before. It's a very small town.
- Speaking of Airbnb – The one we stayed in here in Exmouth Western Australia is number 39 and it has shot to the top of our list, one
of our favorite Airbnb's so far. A guest house next to the hosts home, we felt so comfortable here in our space and really enjoyed the lovely family. This family is very entrenched in their community with their two darling daughters and the husband's local
construction business. We were very impressed when he went off as a volunteer firefighter to try to put out a big wildfire we had watched out in the distance for several days.
- The weather – it is a wee bit hotter than I would like, but "it's a dry heat"! We are out in it everyday and we have adjusted. I'm thrilled to get away from the humidity for a while and so is my hair! In fact, I have realized that
some of my aches and pains I endure are likely due to high humidity. Here I have felt great, very little pain in my normal hip and sciatic area and I have been running again everyday! Feels so good to be back at it, especially with the handy, flat trail right next to our airbnb.
- English – it's really nice to find ourselves back in an English-speaking country. We get a
kick out of trying to communicate as we go around the world, but it also is tiring and sometimes problematic. So here we are speaking English, a somewhat different, but easy to grasp version, and we are very happy.
So, there you go. Ten reasons I fell for Exmouth Western Australia. I even looked at real estate listings. It's a sweet town – you should come and see!

Best known for their use on farms and golf courses, John Deere's Gator® off-road utility vehicles, which can travel up to 18 miles per hour, were enlisted for more patriotic duties following the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.
Forty-four Gators were sent to New York City to assist workers at the World Trade Center site in lower Manhattan. The company also sent 10 Gators to help in the rescue and recovery effort at the Pentagon outside Washington, DC, while others were sent to the rough terrain of Afghanistan for the war on terrorism.
Featured Content
John Deere, which has been manufacturing Gator utility vehicles for nearly a decade, was no stranger to powder coating, having used the environmentally compliant technology on Gators and other heavy equipment in its extensive line.
A new electrodeposition coating, or E-coat, is now used as the primer on all Gators. This technology, when combined with powder coating, provides benefits not only to John Deere, but to its customers and the environment as well.
The E-coat and TGIC polyester powder finish used on the Gators offer superior corrosion and chip resistance–key issues for these vehicles, which are used in a wide range of harsh climatic situations.
"Gator utility vehicles are exposed to many different conditions ranging from cold temperatures in the north, to salty beaches and hot weather, to fertilizer on golf courses," said a spokesman for the John Deere Vehicle Group. In addition, a special Gator, dubbed M-Gator®, is used by the U.S. military.
With this special powder coating and E-coat combination, John Deere Gators have an "automotive quality" finish. Colors include well-known "John Deere green," "work site yellow," "olive drab" and black.
Another bonus is excellent UV protection, which means Gator utility vehicles will retain that "just-off-the-line" appearance for a longer time.

Dungeon Prompts: Community
This week's prompt is: Community
"What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured."
― Kurt Vonnegut
"Community is a sign that love is possible in a materialistic world where people so often either ignore or fight each other. It is a sign that we don't need a lot of money to be happy–in fact, the opposite."
― Jean Vanier, Community And Growth
"Love is our most unifying and empowering common spiritual denominator. The more we ignore its potential to bring greater balance and deeper meaning to human existence, the more likely we are to continue to define history as one long inglorious record of man's inhumanity to man."
― Aberjhani, Journey through the Power of the Rainbow
Thanks to the Zero to Hero participants, last week's challenge had the most participation that we've seen on Dungeon Prompts, which made me think of the great community that we are creating here in the blogosphere. This week I'm going to keep it simple: what does "community" mean to you?
Suggested Prompts:
*Write a short story, poem, or share a picture or song that talks about the importance of community.
*Any inspired offering that somehow relates to your feelings on community.
Dungeon Prompts are meant to open up the abandoned rooms inside ourselves and dust them off a bit. Explore the recesses of your mind and get back with a poem, story, essay or creative offering. Link your post to this specific prompt page and I'll share your link back with our readers.
To participate, all you'll need to do is:
1. Tag your post with: "DungeonPrompts"
2. Link back to this page in the body of your post *
3. Dive deep within and give us a glimpse of your soul!**
*note: If the pingback doesn't work, then please leave the link to your post in the comment section.
**If you don't have a blog please feel free to join the discussion in the comment section.

Kristina Braverman's doctor's appointment was not a focal point of this otherwise strong, but standard installment, making the closing montage all the more surprising - and powerful.
There was no dialogue. None was needed.
Potter's performance was as Emmy-worthy as anything you'll see this year. The series has never shied away from weighty topics, but how did it decide to go there in its fourth season?
"A lot of women that I know deal with breast cancer - a lot of close friends actually - and I had e-mailed Jason Katims before the season started and I said, 'What if Kristina develops breast cancer,'" Potter told TV Guide.
"I think it's a really timely issue."
Little did Potter know that Katims, inspired by his wife's own battle with the disease years earlier, had already begun plotting the exact same story line in the writers' room, calling it a "wild coincidence."
"This is obviously a very difficult story that has very challenging and emotional elements. So the idea that - not even hearing that it was something that we wanted to do - she was interested was very exciting to me," he says.
"Clearly this was something that Monica was ready to dig into."
With one caveat: "She said, 'I don't want to cry in every scene.'"
Maybe not every scene, but probably more than a few going forward if this week's conclusion is any indication. Don't expect Parenthood to tackle anything half-heartedly or unrealistically, especially this.
Katims admits he was unsure about doing so: "Part of it was for the personal reason of, 'Do I want to go there?' and the other hesitation was I didn't want to do it if it was going to be too depressing or be too heavy."
The show's creator, whose son's struggles with Asperger's inspired the ongoing storyline of Max, Kristina and Adam's son, says that concept felt even more challenging, and gives him confidence to tackle this one.
"Having been able to tell that story now going on four seasons of the show, it gave me the confidence to feel that we could tell this story in a way that will hopefully feel real and that people will think we did a good job," he says.
"Monica is not only such a wonderful dramatic actress, she is also such an incredible comedienne. One of the things that was important to us was that we would find not only the hopeful moments but the humor."
Potter is optimistic fans will find the story therapeutic. "The first two episodes were sort of a punch in the stomach for me to read and I think a lot of our fans will find it to be a little startling," she says.
"But also, as the season goes, I think it will be very cathartic."

Hollywood Bowl season is upon us! And what better opportunity to combine your love of food with your love of music than to do up the pre-performance picnic the right way? Grab a recommended wine from Jill at Domaine LA to pair with your food and you're set. Just make sure your show is an official Bowl event and not leased out. If it's leased out (most likely to include the high profile rock bands not part of the KCRW World Music Series), then you're confined to the Patina catering sold (or served in your fancy box seats) at the venue. If not, you're good to go!
Below, you'll find options all over town. So wherever you hail from, you're set to make your little haven in Hollywood home for a few hours whether they be Pool, Garden, Terrace, Super or bench seats. And by the way, yes, you can always order from Nancy Silverton's Mozza2Go – I would just recommend ordering and picking up extra early in the day on Bowl nights given its vicinity and the likelihood everyone may be thinking the same thing as you. Here we go… (Check the map at the bottom for a visual of all mentioned locations.)
Napa Valley Grille – Westwood
When at UCLA, I always knew the Napa Valley Grille as the out-of-range option for us students – the place you got your parents to take you to when they visited from out-of-town. But they've recently come out with a boxed lunch program that seems pretty accessible to me, ranging from $10.75 to $13.75 with 3 seasonal options from Executive chef Joseph Gillard and packaged in recyclable materials. You can wax Napa in Hollywood (or elsewhere) as they are themed after different Napa Valley regions:
Russian River Menu: Shrimp Salad Sandwich, with Poached White Shrimp, Fine Herbs, Buttermilk Dressing, and Shaved Cabbage on a Soft Herb Roll; Sweet Pea Salad with Butter Lettuce and Green Goddess Dressing; housemade Napa Potato Chips; and Summer Fruit Trifle ($13.75)
Stag's Leap Menu: Slow-Roasted Rare Prime Beef Sandwich with Bacon, Red Onion Jam, Creamy Horseradish, and Smoked Cheddar Cheese on Pretzel Bread; Roasted Red Fingerling Potato Salad; housemade Napa Potato Chips; and a Black and White Cookie ($12.75)
St. Helena Menu: Roasted Vegetable Foccaccia with Grilled Zucchini, Eggplant, Portabella Mushroom, White Bean Hummus, Tomato Fondue, and Basil Goat Cheese on Herb Ciabatta Bread; Orzo Pasta Salad with Pepperdew Peppers, Spring Onions, and Golden Balsamic Vinaigrette; housemade Napa Potato Chips; and a "Blondie†Bar ($10.75)
You'll undoubtedly want dessert (not included)Â – so choose from delicious selections like Mini Eclairs with Cordillera Dark Chocolate-Brandy Cream, Bourbon Pecan Bars and White Chocolate Coconut Cookies.

Bob Odenkirk can't really talk — he's too busy celebrating his first-ever Emmy nomination for acting. For example: In response to "How are you?" the Better Call Saul actor simply screams.
Once he finishes yelling, Odenkirk expresses his surprise at the news (with actual words, thankfully). "Of course, everybody on every show is like, 'We should get nominated! We're doing great work!'" he tells EW. "Everybody's working hard on every show on TV, and so to be picked out is a real surprise to me because I know everyone's giving it their all."
Most recently, Odenkirk's been giving it his all as the title character on AMC's Better Call Saul, and before that, he appeared as the same character on Breaking Bad. And he's excited to finally celebrate being on those two critically beloved series: It turns out that he's attended the past few Emmy Awards, but not for himself — for his wife, a manager in the entertainment business.
"She's the one who's been there with purpose. And I've been there as just arm candy," he said. "Now it's my turn to have a reason to be there!"
This year's Emmys air Sept. 20. See the full list of nominees here.

The rise in spa town house prices since 2001 was 12% (or £13,595) greater in monetary terms than the average increase in overall property prices across England and Wales – £129,203 against £115,608.
Home buyers are required to part with more than an extra £48,000, on average, to live in a spa town. House prices in spa towns in England and Wales are on average £48,123 (27%) higher than the average price in their county. This was almost double the average premium of £26,834 in 2001.
House prices command a premium relative to the surrounding area in sixteen of the eighteen spa towns in England and Wales. Homes in Ilkley, West Yorkshire (96% or £143,388) currently command the highest premium, followed by Boston Spa (85% or £127,634) and Bath (53% or £109,675). In contrast, the Powys spa town of Llandrindod Wells, trades at the largest discount to its county average (-12% or -£21,753).
Five spa towns have seen house prices more than double in the past decade. The largest increases were in Builth Wells (170%) and Llandrindod Wells (109%) – both in Powys in Mid Wales. Harrogate in North Yorkshire (107%) experienced the next biggest increase. At the other end of the spectrum, Epsom in Surrey (62%) and the north Worcestershire town of Droitwich (72%) recorded the smallest increases.
As a result housing affordability in spa towns has deteriorated in the past ten years. Spa town house prices in 2011 are, on average, 8.3 times gross annual earnings. This is up from 6.0 times gross annual earnings in 2001.
Suren Thiru, Housing Economist at Lloyds TSB, said: "Homes in spa towns continue to command a substantial premium over their neighbouring areas with the quality of life benefits and sense of history that typically characterise such locations still resonating amongst home buyers. However, as a consequence of rising property prices, housing market conditions in spa towns have become tougher over the past decade, particular for those looking to get on the property ladder for the first time."

Mummification and the Afterlife
The Egyptians had such a love for life that it was important for them to continue that enjoyment even after death.
Elaborate burials were a part of the acceptance of death. The Egyptians were not preoccupied with death, but they did spend much time preparing for the time when their life on this earth would cease and they would enter the afterlife.
The Egyptians believed that the mummy housed the soul and the Ka, Ba, and Akh. The goal in the Underworld is to live in one's Ka, as this holds the physical resemblance to the deceased. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians developed the process of mummification to keep the body in a good state and to preserve its physical features so that the soul might identify it, for the destruction of the body would have meant also the decay of the soul.
The more elaborate burials were reserved for royalty and their families, priests, and other high-ranking officials. Even those people who were not able to afford the most elaborate burial, valued their family members enough to give the most basic mummification.
The actual mummification process took approximately 70 days. The body of the deceased was cleaned and purified to begin the journey into the afterlife. The next step involved removing the inner organs. In order to dry out the organs and prevent decay, they were placed in natron, a type of desert salt used for drying.
The organs were wrapped in linen strips and placed in canopic jars. The body cavity was then stuffed with additional natron. The embalmers never removed the heart of the deceased; it was believed that the heart was the central point of being and intelligence. Then the brain and surrounding tissue were removed with extreme care.
The potential to disfigure the face during the process of removing the brain made this part of the mummification process extremely important. However, the brain was not saved, as the Egyptians considered it an unimportant part of the body.
The body was then covered in natron to remove the moisture. This allowed the body to slowly dry out and retain much of its shape.
The actual drying of the body took approximately 40 days. The natron was then removed and the body was washed. The corpse was wrapped in hundreds of yards of linen. Each finger and toe was wrapped individually and then the entire hand and foot.
During the process of wrapping the mummy, good luck charms, words of wisdom, and prayers were placed within the layers of the wrappings. It was also common for a mask, or likeness, of the deceased to be placed upon the mummy's face between layers of head wrappings. Throughout this process, the mummy was coated with resin and the wrapping resumed. Finally, the mummy was wrapped in a shroud or cloth.
When the mummy was completed and ready for burial, the ceremony and rituals began. The priests would use a special instrument to touch parts of the body to open it for the afterlife. This ritual is called the "Opening of the Mouth." The instrument enabled the priest in opening the senses of the dead and, the ceremony allowed the dead person to eat and speak in the afterlife.
The Egyptians believed that this ritual released the Ba and Ka to travel into the afterlife. When all the rituals were complete, the mummy was sealed within the coffin, placed in the burial chamber, and the tomb was blocked.
