Makeup is a big passion of mine, I can spend hours in Sephora! Sitting at my makeup vanity playing around with different looks is so relaxing for me. I have had this beautiful pink/maroon Loreal shadow for a while now, it definitely makes me think of fall. This color looks great for hazel, brown and green eyes.
This Tarte tartelette palette is one of my favorites, I love that it has all matte shades. Sometimes you don't want a lot of shimmer and shine, these colors really give it a clean look. Using a matte shade in the eye of you crease is the best finish to go with. I highly recommend this palette! Doing a winged liner will make your eyes appear larger and hide the lash band as well. I only wear lashes when we have somewhere fancy to go, but I figured I would throw some on for the sake of this look =). Also, you probably will never see me without eyeliner on my water line!
These Loreal infallible shadows are so pigmented and definitely add a punch! I highly recommend checking out the rest of these shadows, they are beautiful! I used this shadow all over my lid and the tartelette palette for the crease and outer corner.
1- I used to highlight my brow-bone and inner corner.
2/2- I used these two shades for the crease, make sure to blend everything together with the Loreal shadow.
3- This deep maroon purple shade was perfect for the outer corner, looked great with the Loreal color.
And here is the outcome, love how this look turned out. It reminds me so much of fall! What are your favorite eyeshadow looks/colors to use?
xoxo, Simona and Indre

I know I never really reflected on my trip - and honestly, I've had to think a lot about this one because it was so profound on so many levels.
When a colleague from another school suggested we travel through those areas I got super excited as everyone always wants to head to the popular Western European countries. Our travels were also going to bring us though some of the major areas I teach specifically about during our Holocaust unit.
I didn't really think about how significant these areas had become due to teaching year after year about them. It was easy to teach about a place you've never been to without having an emotional attachment to the area or the things that happened there.
Things changed over the time I spent traveling through parts of Germany, The Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.
Reminders of WWII, the Holocaust and the Iron Curtain are still very much alive, the economy is still very much affected, and I strongly believe the people are not the same people they were before the these events rolled over them. I found the people to be very friendly and helpful, but they hesitated to engage in conversation unless spoken to first. This was very different than Western Europe where it seems everyone is vying for your attention - and money.
Berlin was disturbing. A beautiful, edgy city, overshadowed by the Nazi party buildings and constant reminders of the communist regime; including stark, empty, abandoned buildings - and the wall. Monuments to people who attempted to assassinate Hitler, died under his rule, tried to escape by climbing the wall, and to the Holocaust dot the city as daily reminders of what people believed could never happen. It was sad. It was disturbing. It was fascinating I was happy to leave the city, but could visit again and learn so much more.
Dresden was a peaceful contrast, until we found out that all the rebuilding we saw was due to the horrific civilian bombing at the end of WWII. It was a beautiful and sad city.
Prague and Krakow were awesome. Again, reminders everywhere, but the original artistry and beauty of the cities remain. I especially loved Krakow and would love to spend a lot more time there.
Budapest was chic and ancient and way cool all wrapped into one. I would have loved to have seen more of the city. As it was, I explored the castle and the Christmas markets - and needed to see so much more.

Ready for Take Off: 5 Space Missions Set for Launch by 2025
In 1903 the Wright Brothers kicked off human flight. The achievement was wonderful but the technology humble, with a plane that resembled little more than a cardboard construction. 60 years thereafter – a blink of an eye in the history of Earth – humans we're on the moon. One of those rare moments that literally had the world watching, and promised more to come.
Following the successful return of Apollo 11 much effort was put into busy plans for many more missions, moon bases, and even a bit more travelling about the galaxy to other planets. Thereafter though, to the minds of many things slowed down a little bit.
Sure, there were subsequent lunar landings, a rover or two sent abroad, the creation of the International Space Station, and a number of satellites sent up to orbit about and beam us content back to Earth. These are all notable achievements, but since Apollo 11 mission in July of 1969 the space exploration community have been waiting for the next 'oooh'' moment.
It's been many decades since that first 'one small step' was taken. Yet, the next decade is set to see serious inroads made – from just outside our orbit to all the way across the solar system – these 5 missions shall be particularly notable.
Virgin Galactic(2017)
This is the fun one. Keen on the whole space exploration thing but also not ready to sell your home in this market right now? For those who are resolute on a journey with a return ticket a trip on Virgin Galactic may be your best call. First formed in 2004, Virgin Galactic has faced a number of delays and setbacks in its timeline for first launch.
This notwithstanding, the Richard Branson-founded outfit has been a crucial part in renewing interest and engagement with space exploration in the past decade. So, for those with the means a flight with Virgin Galactic
shall represent the opening of a new chapter, as well as recognition of the work it took to get there.
Spacex Dragon probe to Mars (2018)
This is the test one. While we've done missions to Mars before with landers, this will be the first time Spacex has landed its own tech on the Red Planet. While by and large a test mission for now, the Dragon is envisioned as fit for purpose not only for landing on Mars unscrewed in 2018, but potentially for use in landing on other planets in future.
So, not only shall this first launch signify a new era commencing in the exploration of space, but also offer a window into how a rocket like the Red Dragon could come to be used for missions well before this first door knock in the new neighbourhood.
Deep Space Asteroid Landing (by 2020)
This is the complex one. Getting to Mars or going long on a trip to Europa is no easy feat; but landing on a moving asteroid and establishing the first private base in space shall require REALLY precise use of that calculator.
While an asteroid landing may not capture the public's imagination in the same way a new establishing a colony on Mars does, nonetheless Deep Space's trip shall be vital from a commercial perspective. Opening the door to asteroid harvesting, and the potential for profit thereafter; missions like these could be the ones that come to underwrite wider exploration in the gallery in time ahead.
The Europa Mission (2022)
This is the wild one. Mars landing notwithstanding the one with the potential to be most significant. One of Jupiter's 67 moons, Europa is held to have an icy-crust and water beneath that it has set the scientific community abuzz with the potential for what lies beneath.
A plan to send a probe and lander is afoot, and it gets better still: with it theorised that the water beneath the surface could contain life forms. While previous landers taking rock samples on Mars is nothing to sneeze at, the potential for this mission to unveil the solar system's greatest new aquarium has set hearts racing.
SpaceX to Land on Mars (2024)
This is the big one. Elon Musk, the Space X CEO and talented South African-turned Canadian student-turned American tech tycoon has laid down a plan to send humans off to space in 2024. While the Red Dragon shall garner attention certainly, it is this first trip of a crewed ship that holds the most attention in the years ahead.
One of the most compelling aspects to Musk's plan is not merely the potential to make history. Approaching this as something of a realist, Musk is keen to get humans on Mars as a safety measure in event of catastrophe on Earth.
While this viewpoint is a cultural departure from the previous approach to promoting space exploration with optimism and inspirational photos, Musk's driving impetus to progress with haste has been refreshing to many lamenting the perpetual delays seen in other space programs.
Countless words have been written about this prior, and the time to action is still a while away. Suffice to say though circle 2024 in your calendar, it'll be a big flight.
Successor to Voyager? (by 2025)
This is the unknown one. At present the Voyager 1 is the furthest anything built on planet has ever gone into space. Due to switch off in around 2025, other satellites like the Voyager 2 and New Horizons shall continue efforts in its vein; but for now none shall go where Voyager 1 has done since its launch in 1977. Just as it's served its original mission well, space exploration is always about what comes next.
The next couple of years will see efforts towards Mars celebrated, but the decade of radio silence at the edge of our solar system lamented. Just as SpaceX's ambitions for Mars have reignited public interest in a mission to Mars, so will Voyager's impending retirement bring with it new debate about going beyond once more. For now, the focus is Mars, but with renewed attention on the space program to come, keeping space free for new arrivals surely essential.
All Aboard
Guarantees with these missions remain 'up in air'. So too is the potential for delays, setbacks, and even legal issues surrounding how governments on Earth can manage activity in space. There are also variables; If the Mars 2020 rover lands and discovers something henceforth unknown to Mars experts – a rapid change in the environment that gives rise to a new airborne virus – then Elon may need to reroute.
Yet, with the rising interest in space among a number of nations around the world, the rapid advances in technology, and the greater mix of government and private engagement in space exploration; it would take something right now unimaginable to take the wind out of the sails of so many intent to kick down the door of progress. And so we dare to imagine.
It's true there are some who ask why explore space when we've problems that remain on Earth? It's a fair point they raise in an era where the globe is afflicted by some serious challenges. It's just also true that the counter case can be fairly made that you can pursue solutions to multiple tasks at once,that a space program that has been in second gear for the past 50 years has allowed 'clear air' to solve those other problems; yet afflictions like climate change, cancer & co remain, and ultimately a space program can actually help work towards solving problems.
What's more, within space so far has held a longstanding peace, with promises from all nations to not weaponize space. Does that mean the potential for world peace is just a quick spin in space away? Surely not. Yet, just like how great powers have come to shared agreements on combating climate change, the shared challenges and ambitions in space can give new incentive to working together on a 'local level' to advance our efforts. You know, just like the way you and your neighbour got a truce going for sharing bin space on garbage day.Ed Kennedy is a journalist, ghostwriter, and web developer from Melbourne, Australia.

The premise of this book plays on a theme that I, and I suspect many people, have been interested in for some time – the idea of second chances, the opportunity to play certain parts of your life over and over until you get it right.
Kate Atkinson's Life After Life follows Ursula Todd as she continually dies and is reborn, with the faint memories of her previous lives buried in her consciousness, unearthed in periods of intense déjà vu.
Atkinson's clever novel centres on the frailty of life, highlighting how the difference between life and death can be a single moment, one decision, or something completely out of our control. This is particularly emphasised in the novel's turbulent setting of World War II, where every day can be a struggle and a fight for life.
The sections in the novel set throughout the war are the most poignant and well written sections of the book, with Atkinson vividly and completely evoking this period of intense change. Descriptions throughout these sections are often particularly startling and original.
The other element Atkinson particularly excels at is her exploration of the deep family ties, particularly those between Ursula and her siblings, throughout the novel and it was one of the aspects I most enjoyed. Many of the characters, such as Ursula's parents, her siblings, her psychiatrist and the people she works with when she is a warden recovering and searching for the injured in bombing raids in World War II, are just some of the intriguing secondary characters in the novel which are expertly depicted. Atkinson uses bracketed asides throughout her prose, which are often humorous, and are an excellent way of showing characters' personalities, although the frequency of these can become tiresome after a while. As for Ursula herself, I found that the characterisation of her was better as she grew older – I felt quite distanced from her and it wasn't until mid-way through the book that I began to feel something for her and her situation.
One of the reasons for this may be the way the novel is set out. The plot is extremely fragmented, particularly near the beginning, with the short chapters giving you a glimpse of the characters' lives before they stop when Ursula dies. While these snapshots are intriguing and interesting, they didn't help to draw me to Ursula. It can also become increasingly confusing with the quick flitting between dates and time periods. Once I'd recognised the pattern of these chapters, each time a mildly dangerous situation began to loom I knew that she was going to die again and I didn't feel moved. Although this disconcerted me, perhaps this is the point – if you get numerous chances, life can seem meaningless. It was as she grew older, and the chapters grew longer, that I felt more drawn to Ursula and her life. Recurring phrases or moments throughout the novel are a nice touch, showing that whichever choices we make, some things will always be the same.
Atkinson begins the novel with a meeting between Ursula and Hitler. While the period of World War II is an excellent choice of setting for the concept of this novel, I found the sections with Hitler weren't needed and required too much of a stretch of the imagination for me to find believable. I would have the rather the novel completely concentrated on how she affected her own life, her family, friends and lovers, rather than how her actions could have changed the course of history. While this, perhaps, embodies one of the ideas of the book – that our decisions and actions can have far greater consequences than simply affecting our own lives – I found the other sections to be far more engaging. Atkinson's decision to begin the novel with an excerpt from Ursula's meeting with Hitler signifies the importance of this aspect of the story, yet very little of the novel is dedicated to this moment in time. Why did Atkinson decide to begin the novel here? If it was a device to pull readers into the story, it left me expectant throughout the first chapters of the book for some reference to this moment. When it didn't come until much later, it seems as if the beginning was misleading. Because the majority of the novel revolves around Ursula's life before, during and after the war, the story seemed to deemphasise the suggested importance of the opening scene.
By the time I turned the final page of this novel, I wasn't sure of what to make of it as a whole. I had a lot of questions, and I don't think there's a clear 'moral' or 'lesson' to the story, although I think this is purposeful on Atkinson's part. It leaves an ambiguity to the book which I think is more successful than if all of my questions had been answered.
Atkinson's witty and humorous style contrasts with the terrible scenes of the war, but they work together to create an interesting and engaging novel. Despite the slight issues I had with the book, the atmosphere Atkinson creates is excellently done, with the evocation of war, family ties, and the various possibilities of Ursula's life standing out as highlights.

I first read The Lord of the Rings the summer I turned ten. My elder siblings had all read it, and I wanted to know what it was all about. I remember spending one entire afternoon and early evening sitting in a lawn chaise on our patio, continuing to read as the sun went down and it got darker and darker, because I was in a hurry to finish and find out what happened.
Bang! That was it; The Lord of the Rings was officially my favorite book. And it has remained so.
I first read my siblings' copy of the trilogy--the Ballantine Books edition with the weird psychedelic covers. Oddly, I still have it. Later, my mother gave me (for Valentine's Day, which was not usually an occasion for such things) a boxed set of the trilogy in paperback. That was the one with a big photograph of Tolkien's head in profile on the back of each volume and Tolkien's own paintings on the front. I no longer have this set; I wore it out.
Over a period of several years Mom got me my own hardcover editions of The Hobbit (the green edition with the tooled binding that comes in a matching green box) and The Lord of the Rings (the boxed set with the Eye of Mordor on the spine of each volume); and later, when they came out, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales as well. That's one of the things about my Mom; she didn't like that kind of fiction, and was rather inclined to think it was probably garbage--but she knew what I loved.
I took the whole set off to college with me, reasoning that at some point in any given year I was going to want to re-read the whole thing. I find it hard to remember precisely, but I expect that I probably re-read the trilogy at least once a year from the time I was ten until after I graduated from college.
In the last fifteen years that rate has slowed down considerably. I last read the trilogy in December of 2000; this December, I watched Peter Jackson's version of The Return of the King. And though it was a grand spectacle, it just wasn't right somehow; it didn't satisfy. And though in the ordinary scheme of things it would probably have taken another year or two, the movie prompted me to pull The Fellowship of the Ring down from the shelf. Late last night, I finished The Return of the King (reading large snatches of "The Scouring of the Shire" to Jane. And I was happy.
What first attracted me to Tolkien was, naturally, Bilbo's and Frodo's adventures. What kept bringing me back was my realization that Tolkien had created an entire world, with its own history and literature and languages, a world nearly as complete and detailed as our own. And that was cool!
In his essay "On Fairy Stories," Tolkien talks about the creation of such a fantasy world as "subcreation," as the activity in the exercise of which we are most clearly created in God's image. By that time I knew just what he was talking about--because I'd seen him do it.
The way I read the The Lord of the Rings has changed over the years. I remember racing through the first half of The Two Towers, and the first half of The Return of the King as fast as I could, because I wanted to get to the part about Frodo and Sam. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli got short-shrift. By the time Frodo and Sam got to the Cracks of Doom, I was going so fast I completely missed what happened with Frodo and Gollum and the Ring. And the Scouring of the Shire was a horrible shock--endings were supposed to be happy. Let's face it, I wasn't a very careful reader in those days.
The last two or three times through the trilogy I've made it a point to read slowly rather than quickly--to savor the fine details and the bits of landscape and the shadings of emotion, and the things that are present simply because that's the way Tolkien's world is. When Tom Bombadil escorts the hobbits on the way to Bree, he sees a hill that makes him sad, though he won't speak of the cause. We don't know what memory the hill evoked in Tom's mind; it doesn't come into the story.
Why does Tolkien tell us about Tom's sadness? We think of history as chronology, as a time line, but history is also geographical. Every hill and every valley has its memories. And Tolkien knew that at that place was a memory to sadden even the mercurial Tom Bombadil, and to have left it out would have been to lie.
These days, ironically, I find that the chapters I cherish are precisely those I skimmed on first reading: Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas chasing the orcs across the fields of Rohan; the passing of the Grey Company through the Paths of the Dead; the seige of Minas Tirith; the parley before the Black Gate; the celebration on the Field of Cormallen; the Scouring of the Shire. Some I read with laughter; some I read with tears; all I read with great joy.
Of the books of my childhood, The Lord of the Rings stands alone. Most of the books I loved as a child I've outgrown. A few I remember with great fondness. Fewer still (notably the Narnia books) I continue to read and enjoy. But only Middle Earth has grown with me, deepening with every passing year.Posted by Will Duquette at January 28, 2004 08:59 PM

Do you read The Hobbit each time you read LOTR? I always do -- for some reason, I find the shift in tone in Fellowship benefits by reading the Prelude.
Will Duquette said:
No, actually, I don't. I once did...but the two works are sufficiently different that I tend to take them down in different moods.

More than 1,000 young people across Fulton County celebrated Ohio 4-H Week, an annual celebration of 4-H during the first full week of March.
Research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent findings from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that, when compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are: nearly four times more likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors; two times more likely to engage in science, technology, engineering, and math programs in their out-of-school time.
In an effort to promote and celebrate 4-H in Fulton County, commissioners Jeff Rupp, Bill Rufenacht, and Jon Rupp officially proclaimed March 5-11, Fulton County 4-H Week. The theme for the week was "Discover Yourself in Fulton County 4-H."
More than 1,000 4-H youth and 240 volunteers from the community are involved in 4-H. Current 4-H members were encouraged throughout the week, to thank 4-H supporters, encourage potential members to attend a meeting, wear 4-H apparel, make a poster about 4-H and display it within the community, and promote 4-H through positive social media postings.

Lists also were found with source code and build evers who had compiled the attackers. Through the source code, it could be easier for attackers to find vulnerabilities in the software and allows companies to attack. However, a spokesman would not confirm or deny that the break-source code has been captured.

Ardelle Lind was beloved cook at Bunk's Drive-In and Lee's Drive-In
Her full name was Ardelle (Atwood) Lind, but everyone knew her as Ardelle.
For decades, Ardelle was a fast-food cook at popular Bellingham drive-ins, where she was on a first-name basis with seemingly everyone. She was well-known for her cooking, to be sure, but also for doting on her customers, and her knack for remembering their names and checking with them to see how their food was, as well as how their spouses, kids and pets were doing.
"She was a fast-food icon," said Tim Trott, the owner of Lee's Drive-In, where Ardelle worked for more than 35 years. "I don't anybody else who was so well known in the food industry business in Whatcom County."
Ardelle died Sept. 17. She was 83 and had been ailing for several years, prompting customers at Lee's to ask how she was doing.
Born in Mount Vernon, Ardelle graduated from Bellingham High School in 1949. She married her husband, Harry Lind, four years later. He worked at the Georgia-Pacific pulp mill.
Early in her career Ardelle cooked at the Downtowner, a diner started by Bunk Burden in the Bellingham National Bank building at Holly Street and Cornwall Avenue, said Kent Holsather, who is co-writing a history of drive-in restaurants and outdoor movie theaters in Whatcom County.
The Downtowner was popular with young people, in part for its fudgie wudgies, soft ice cream swirled with hot fudge and topped with nuts and whipped cream, said Marian Rawls, Ardelle's daughter.
Bunk's, then Lee's
When Bunk sold the Downtowner and bought the Skookum Chuck drive-in on Cornwall Avenue in 1955, Ardelle followed him to become a cook at the new Bunk's Drive-In. She worked there for as long as Bunk owned the business, and for a few more years under the new owner, before she went to work for Lee's in the early '70s.
Bunk's was an immensely popular place, known for its fried chicken, tomato burgers, and its burger-and-fries special for 55 cents. Young people would cruise back and forth between Bunk's and the A&W Drive-In on Samish Way, stopping from time to time in the store parking lot across from Bellingham High to visit and make plans for the evening.
After she left Bunk's, Ardelle cooked at the Lee's restaurant on Lakeway Drive for a few years before becoming night-shift manager at the Lee's at James and Alabama, Trott said. She cooked the early dinner, then worked the front counter and cash register until closing time.
"People would come here to eat because she was working," Trott said. "She made our business better."
Ardelle insisted on working six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday. She never missed a day of work, and she rarely took time off for vacations.
"She just liked customers," Trott said. "It was a social meeting place for her."
The tomato burger at Bunk's was a popular item, so when Ardelle went to Lee's, customers started asking for it there. Lee's added it to its menu, a hamburger dressed up with American cheese, green relish, mayonnaise and several slices of tomato.
"That was her favorite burger," Trott said.
Ardelle went out of her way to please customers. While at Bunk's, she would telephone night workers at St. Joseph Hospital and the G-P paper mill, then deliver their burgers and fries after her work shift ended. She did it because the workers weren't free to drive to Bunk's to pick up their food, Rawls said.
At Lee's, she knew a regular customer who loved cherry pie. It wasn't on the menu, so Ardelle would bake a pie and give it to him, Rawls said.
With such high customer-service expectations for herself, Ardelle expected similar hard work from the other people on her shift. For many workers, including younger people, it was a valuable lesson.
"I know of lot of them learned respect for work because of her," Rawls said.
Cooking for customers, clearly, was a big part of Ardelle's life. Her daughter recalled when, as a child, she tried to roust her sleeping mother one morning. Ardelle stirred and mumbled "two Bunk's specials," and went back to sleep.
When she wasn't cooking at work Ardelle cooked for friends on her Mondays off. She was known for her potato salad and her Scandinavian Christmas cookies. Of course, any leftovers went home with her guests.
An accomplished knitter, Ardelle also made numerous Christmas stockings to give to friends and family. She focused more on doing things for other people than on doing fancy things for herself. She wore simple clothes, wasn't much for makeup, and her only jewelry was her wedding ring.
"The focus was never on her," Rawls said.
She did have a few small indulgences. She was partial to El Camino cars and she loved to play scratch tickets.
She also loved to pile her long hair on top of her head in a bun and keep it there.
"That was her trademark," Trott said, "and that was the way it was going to be."
The only time Ardelle let her hair down was on Saturdays at her hairdresser's.
"It came down to get washed, curled, teased and put back up," Rawls said.
It was such a distinctive look that some people called her "Grandma Bun," said Dee Day, a family friend.
After Bunk's closed, Ardelle would sometimes cook up popular Bunk's fare for former customers' high school reunions. Her memorial service scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4, was to be held at the American Legion Post 7 hall in part because it has a flat grill so people could cook fast-food in her honor. A good way to remember Ardelle.
"It's like Madonna, you didn't need to know her last name," Day said. It was just 'Ardelle.'"

What you'll learn in our Bachelor of Animation
Year 1
Year One provides a shared foundation of knowledge and skills for animation, giving you a background in narrative theory and practice, visual communication, art and observation, and an introduction to animation principles, concept development, visual analysis, critiquing and reflective abilities. You will also gain knowledge of, and experience with, two and three dimensional animation production and post-production process, technology and technique. Study of animation history will also develop your academic and critical-thinking skills, connect theory with your personal practice and broaden your understanding of the field.
Year 2
Year Two continues to deliver core subjects, but introduces you to specialist roles in practical group projects. You will play different roles within authentic production pipelines to develop, produce and post-produce animations for a variety of media formats. This helps you choose your major for Year Three. Your knowledge of storytelling theory for cinematic and interactive animation is deepened, and you are also introduced to critical theory and approaches to textual analysis. Traditional art approaches such as life drawing and clay sculpting are taught in dedicated courses in both Year One and Two. You will also explore personal creative process, try your hand at experimental animation, and are introduced to transdisciplinary thinking process, consumer behaviour and communication strategy, to help you develop creative ideas that connect with others. You are also exposed to creative practices outside of animation and learn how to pitch ideas effectively. You will also be introduced to business concepts, project management theory and research techniques, to develop project management plans and business cases which support your creative pitches. In the second half of the year you will get a taste of animation for games, developing assets for an original project you designed earlier in the year.
Year 3 Majors
In Year Three, you will begin your major in either, Story and Character; World-Building and Visual Effects; or Interactive Media and Games. Courses in the first half of the year focus you academically and professionally on your specialist role - developing your abilities to research for and produce animation assets for team projects. Your project management and research skills are enhanced, so that you can develop an effective proposal for your Capstone Project in the second half of the year. The Capstone Project is a practice-based investigation in which research is conducted individually, within a team project. While you will produce separate investigative outputs, you will collaborate in teams to produce a single animation product for exhibition. The final project for the year is an Investigative Project, which can take the form of a seminar or master class. Students will be able to present the findings of an investigation into a topic of personal interest within their major. If you choose to enter the Year Four Honours programme, you will present a seminar discussing your proposed research topic for your passion project.
Year 4 Honours
Year Four allows a full academic year to pursue the passion project that you began developing in Year Three. Passion projects can be executed in teams or individually, and are supported by a comprehensive internship programme which allows select projects to be undertaken in the workplace. Animation College also runs an incubator programme which funds projects with commercial potential with seed capital, exposes students to creatives and entrepreneurs outside of the school and works to attract investors for your start-up ideas. You will be supported to create a methodologically coherent, ethical and contextually focused research design for your project. Honours Year is an opportunity to further develop your artistic voice and professional expertise, showcase your special abilities and prepare you for the professional world as an animation creative and potential entrepreneur

2nd Quarter 2009 Results
The 4th of July, a day traditionally known for fun bubblegum contests across the country along with independence, brought the news of the results of the 2nd Quarter BUBBLEGUM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.
This major news of this contest was the idea that a newcomer could come into the picture from out of nowhere and make a spectacular showing. It happened when DannyMachal.com came into the picture and blew them almost all away with his second place bubble. It was a great display that proved that newcomers shouldn;t be intimidated by the competitiion of the BWC. If they can blow a bubble bigger then their head then they have to the potential to blow them super huge and point-earning. All it takes is their participation. It was so far the best showing by a first timer in BWC. DannyMachal.com also deserves praise for the most creative use of an entry name so far in the BWC, using his website URL as his name, which is a great publicity-making lesson for all of us.
Putting on other great performances were Stunis, the co-world champion of the previous quarter in third place, and the Bubble Apprentice in fourth, with a really spectacular looking triple bubble which, possibly, upon closer exaimanation, it may be a quadruple bubble. That is an intersting bubble because there is a story on the internet about the president of a bubblegum company from many years in the past who blew a triple bubble that was called a "triple whammy" and apparently a really big deal was made over it. Well, this could be an example of something bigger than that, blown right here in the BWC. I'm probably 100% sure Bubble Apprentice's bubble was quite likely WAY larger than said "triple whammy." Rounding out the field was a most unusual looking picture of The CandySam, who seems to hawe a knack for unusual pics, and Michael, 5th and 6th, repectively.
Rising to the top once again was the great BG, with his usual dominating BWC performance. This was a most unusual side-view picture that I personally think is one of the BWC better looking pictures. This was BG's fourth straight BWC World Championship.

Free James Brown!!!
Apparently, this episode originally aired when James Brown was still in jail following a high-speed chase with the cops where they found him with a weapon and a bunch of drugs, based on the call to "Free James Brown" by one of the Neville's during their second musical performance of the night.
This "Free James Brown" proclamation wasn't controversial or even all that noticeable but I do remember that as a trendy catchphrase from the time so I figured I'd point it out. Speaking of being uncontroversial and unnoticeable, I'd almost use those terms to also describe this episode.
Once again, I wouldn't say this was a bad episode but thanks to Dennis Quaid starting the show on a pet peeve note, I don't think I ended up liking this episode as much as I might have if he simply started on a different foot. You see, during his opening monolog he pointed out that he was nervous, which is fine until he ended by joking to the viewers to brace themselves for a bad show.
I've said this many times in the past and I'll say it again, I hate this negative approach even when it is clearly a joke because it leads me to spend the entire viewing searching for evidence that these negative thoughts are true. Though I think Dennis Quaid is a great film actor, this episode highlighted how, at least at the time, he wasn't all that good at performing live as his claims to be nervous didn't seem to be a joke at all.
That's not to say that he was absolutely horrible but based on Dennis's opening joke, I seemed to notice every hesitation and stumble that would have just slipped by if this playful warning wasn't dancing around the back of my head. This is too bad because if I wasn't on the lookout for flaws, this would have been just another fun episode on par with the rest of this solid season that I've seen so far.
So, now that I've delved deeper into one of my biggest pet peeves, it's now time to move on and delve into what I actually saw, as I give you...
The Wicker Breakdown:
This week's show started with A Message From The President Of The United States where Dana Carvey as Bush Sr. is now filled with confidence as he shares his plans with Iraq following their invasion of Kuwait. This is after month and months of these messages making fun of Bush's desperation to defend the claims that he was a wimp during his run to become president. Of course, this being the opening sketch it eventually builds up to the announcement of, "Live from New York..."
Dennis Quaid then officially opened the show with a monolog about being nervous to host due to the fact that the show is live. He then goes on to joke about his nervous smile/grin then goes on to share an example of how the nervous tick has even ruined his audition for a role in The Last Temptation Of Christ and then goes on to throw to the show while displaying his nervous grin once again.
We then got a fake ad for the album A Dysfunctional Family Christmas filled with parody Christmas tunes that joyfully share dysfunctional family issues that often come up during the holidays.
This was followed by a parody of Sally Jessy Raphael with Jan Hooks as Sally and Narcoleptic Hunks as the topic, where Sally interviews Dennis Quaid, Phil Hartman, and Mike Myers who all play heartthrobs who randomly fall asleep throughout the interview only to instantly pick up where they left off the moment they wake up as if no time has passed at all.
We then went to a sketch that seemed like it was a family having breakfast with Dennis Quaid as his parent but it turns out that this is not his but his ex's instead in this sketch entitled Family Loves Ex-Boyfriend where Victoria Jackson's parents and brother seem to love Dennis more than her even though he's dating another girl so it's not that they're trying to get the two back together.
The Neville Brothers then took to the stage to perform Brother Jake.
Once again, Dennis Miller gave us the news. This week, Jon Lovitz's Annoying Man made a special visit to annoy Dennis Miller while wishing him a Merry Christmas leading Miller to yet at both Lovitz and his character for being on the show multiple times since quitting. Dana Carvey's Grumpy Old Man character also dropped in to share the miseries of the Christmas season back in his day while also proclaiming, "That's the way it was AND WE LIKED IT.
Massage Students was a sketch that made fun of massage school with Dennis Quaid as a Hippie Dippy teacher who is teaching a course through some sort of extended education program as it seems everyone who is there doesn't seem to want to take on massage as a professional practice but are more just a bunch of randos who there for weird reason, like a pair of swings who just want to hook up, as well as another couple where the wife can't stand being touched so the husband thinks this might help kickstart the physical aspect of their relationship and an old man who's just there because the class was cheap and available.
Renegade Pilot was a sketch that sort of parodied Top Gun only with Dennis Quaid as a crazy pilot who likes to show off his piloting skills during a rill. It turns out that he's not only crazy when it comes to the maneuvers that he puts the jet through, he's also crazy enough to invest in shady stocks, put tin foil in the microwave, let his girlfriend cut his hair as well as many other highly questionable tasks while screaming like a maniac and continuing to control the jet at the same time, ignoring the demands to land by the tower.
Sprockets then returned for its first installment of the season where Dieter hosted a Christmas episode of his show, sharing "German holiday traditions" including a "traditional song" and a German Santa played by Dennis Quaid and finish the show by introducing Black Pete who is a mythical Christmas troublemaker who plays tricks on the bad girls and boys.
The Neville Brothers then returned to the stage to perform River of Life.
Schillervision Theatre returned for another short film that felt like it would fit in with Adult Swim filled with lots of quick cuts that don't stay on topic. At first, we are promised a Christmas film but then quickly jump to a commercial for a hair yarmulke before jumping back to the short film that simply has kids running to the Christmas tree while closing credits play which is then quickly followed by an ad for an upcoming New Year's special where the Time Square Apple attacks the host and goes on to terrorize the world.
We then got another fake ad for a fake album, this one is a collection of country songs called The Specialty Songs Of Cal McLane Jr. where he boasts about America's ability to bully the rest of the world into seeing things our way.
This was followed by the debut of deep thoughts with a quick silly insight about parachuting.
Finally, Dennis Quaid closed the show by thanking the audience and saying his goodnights.
Again, though the above review might sound negative, this was actually the ninth solid show in a row with the help of these three of my favorite moments from the night. First, I loved The Dysfunctional Family Christmas Album Ad because my family was a mess by this point and I fully remember how funny it was for hitting so close to home. Next, I really liked the Renegade Pilot because it cracked me up how many bizarre things they had Dennis Quaid do while also piloting a jet. Finally, I was a fan of the Sally Jesse Raphael parody because there's just something funny about narcolepsy to me.

So, we finally decided to do real homeschooling instead of going through a virtual school. We are really excited to get started!! I have the math books already, we are going to test out an online program for grammar and other things, go through a local homeschool coop for Science... it is going to be grand!!
Some things we are just flying by the seat of our pants, for now. It kind of feels like jumping off a cliff into the ocean... you know how to swim so you should do just fine, but WHAT IF there is a shark just waiting there to make you lunch? I do plan on having a framework for everything, but I figure starting over the summer will give us a head start, and allow us to make some mistakes without falling behind. Oh, and we are planning to buy a house, so that will throw some sticks over the track. Fun times.
I think what we are both most excited for is being able to take advantage of fun classes around the cities! There is an exhibit at the Science Museum right now on Ancient Egypt, so I'm compiling stuff for a unit on that. Eeee! Finally I'll be back in DD1's school day instead of just checking in in the morning and afternoon. InshaAllah that will bring us closer too.
I'm excited to share what we have planned... any maybe I can blog regularly and become a bajillionare from sitting on my bum and writing blogs!! Yeah right....

Twenty teams from Europe's top divisions – including two from England, thought to be Chelsea and Manchester City – recorded losses of more than €45m (£37m) for 2009-2011 inclusive – figures that would break FFP rules due to be enforced from next year.
That is up from 13 clubs for the 2008-2010 period, according to Uefa's benchmarking report, while the figures relating to teams who qualified for European competition also climbed from six to 14.
Combined losses for all top-flight clubs in Europe also rose from €0.6bn (£0.5bn) to a record €1.7bn (£1.5bn), but Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino cited a 0.1 per cent narrowing to 12.7 per cent of the gap between revenue and costs as evidence that teams were heeding FFP.
Infantino and Uefa president Michel Platini also pointed to a 68 per cent reduction in clubs' overdue debt since June 2011, following the suspension of some sides for outstanding liabilities.
"We are already starting to see the impact of the first phase of financial fair play with the level of overdue debts on transfers and employee payments reducing with each assessment as clubs realise tough action is and will be taken," Platini wrote in the benchmarking report. "This is just the start of a long but necessary journey."
The financial years 2012 and 2013 comprise the first period Uefa will assess from early 2014, with possible bans for those sides that exceed the €45m limit scheduled to be imposed in the 2014-15 season.

The Old
Been spending a lot of time on Ravelry lately. Got my pattern shop set up, my designer profile, etc. I've also been going back and cleaning up/catching up on all of my old projects. Even with all that's in there, I think it's probably only about 60% of what I've done in my knitting career.
Some of my favorite things were knitted and gifted before any photos could be taken. Same is true for some of my least favorite. My task this evening is to clean up the ones that already exist on Ravelry. Make sure there are pictures, notes, and some assessment of the project.
It's interesting spending an evening revisiting the material past. So many of these things never saw the light of day because I was making beginning knitter mistakes like bad yarn/pattern combo, or choosing things that were too difficult or not flattering. It actually feels great to see the arc of my learning in such a concrete way.
Here's a good example of the wrong yarn/pattern combo. Looks nice from here but sadly, it was unwearable.
The New
On the other hand, finally getting my first patterns published has really given me a very serious case of startitis. Lots of things for me, lots of stashbusting, and lots of things I've wanted to make for a long time. Here's a funny peek. That's me frogging one thing in favor of something else. I'm a girl on a budget, after all, and I can't have a scarf made out of perfectly good yarn laying around not being worn.
Yep, that's me casting on for this straight off of this. FO pictures of lots of fun things coming soon.
And yes, that's an LDL original design sweater I'm wearing. Possibly next in the queue for publishing, but it needs some work yet.

Heading to uni? Money can be tight but as long as you make a budget and stick to it you shouldn't have to worry. Use this guide to stay out of your overdraft at university (or at least try to).
CALCULATE YOUR INCOME: The first step in working out your budget is to calculate your income. Make a list of all the money that will be coming into your account each month. This will include your student loan, any grants you are eligible for, job earnings, savings you are willing to spend and money from your family. Once added up this will give you an idea of your yearly income.
ALLOCATE BUDGET: Now you are aware of how much money you're dealing with it's time to work out where it will be spent and how much (if any!) you will have left over. Start with essential costs such as rent before allocating money to things like entertainment. Your monthly expenditure will include:
- accommodation
- books
- clothes
- entertainment (e.g. bar/restaurant bills)
- food & drink
- phone
- transport (inc. travel home and household bills)
- Consider splitting up your annual budget. Whilst usually it may be advised to make a monthly budget, as a student, it is much easier to do it on a termly basis to fit in with the academic year. Remember that there will be times when your income or expenditure varies (e.g. going home outside term time) so be sure to adjust your budget accordingly.
- It is wise to leave some of your budget in reserve in case any unexpected costs arise – keep a small contingency fund for variable costs such as nights out.
- Make sure it is a budget you can stick to, if you know there is something you tend to spend more on account for it by allocating money accordingly.
- For greater accuracy use a budget calculator. Online budget calculators include this one from UCAS and this one from Natwest. Compare the results to double check accuracy.
- Ensure that you calculate your budget to account for the whole academic year.
Whilst it can be a struggle making ends meet as a student there are some perks such as student discounts and not having to pay council tax (if you're living with other students). Being frugal and taking advantage of student deals is the best way to save money, here's how:
- STUDYING: Avoid spending money on textbooks you will not use. A great alternative is checking whether your university library has copies, keeping a lookout for former students selling theirs and looking in your university's second-hand bookshop. Study expenses such as library fines are also easily avoided.
- FOOD: When it comes to meals, plan ahead so you are less likely to be tempted by a takeaway. Make the most of reduced items and freeze meals in bulk. Cooking shared meals with flatmates can also reduce the cost of your food shop.
- WORK: Consider getting a part-time job or casual work to earn some extra money. Take a look at our jobs section for vacancies near you. Remember that if you are earning less than £11,000 a year you are exempt from paying income tax so claim it back through HMRC if you have been charged.
- TV: Use online streaming subscription services such as Netflix as opposed to watching live TV and having to buy a TV licence – you could club together as a household for a subscription and it'll be much cheaper than a licence! If you do buy a TV license and have 3 months left on it when you leave university for the summer you can claim a proportion of the money back. If you're watching BBC iPlayer, you do need a license UNLESS your parents have a TV licence and you're watching on a device that's powered solely by it's own batteries and not plugged into the mains. So unplug before you catch up on Bake Off!
- UTILITIES: Research energy suppliers to get the best deal for your utilities. Don't be afraid to change providers when you move in (not applicable to halls of residence). Don't waste electricity and water. Remembering to turn lights off when you leave a room, using energy saving light bulbs, monitoring how much water you use and wearing more layers of clothing instead of turning the heating on can save you money in the long run.
- OVERDRAFT: Check the overdraft limit for your student bank account and ensure you do not exceed it. Don't worry about going into your overdraft, it is very common. However, try to avoid it if possible and use it for emergencies only – remember that the money is just on loan to you and you will have to pay it back.

The Brooklyn-based band Friends' released their single 'The Way' back in July and it featured the excellent production of in-demand pop wizard Dev Hynes. It was a slowly unfurling ballad featuring smoldering Prince-like guitars.
In the last month Dev Hynes' released his excellent album Cupid Deluxe under his Blood Orange moniker where Friends' lead singer Samantha Urbani proved the perfect foil on a number of tracks for Hynes' funk, RnB and new wave experiments. He returns the favour here with his outstanding remix of the original Friends song. It features the same spaced-out production that allows Urbani's stunning and sultry voice to shimmer amongst the rubble of a thunderous bass and the same crushing guitar licks. Hynes then injects further drama with some devastating harmonising that lifts the song to serious astral heights. What was a very good song becomes a brooding and bold statement on a cold unrequited love. It is a true unashamed pop epic. Dev Hynes is a man who, at this moment, can truly do no wrong. We can only hope and pray that his purple patch continues.
Listen to the song below:

Kellogg's Corn Flakes Evolution from Anti-Masturbatory Diet to a Healthy Breakfast; Health Stories
The discovery of Kellogg's is something that every guy and girl who masturbates or has ever masturbated must know. This tells us how our civilization has changed from being considering masturbation a sin to seeing the health benefits of masturbation to a level that even psychologists recommend people in stress and suffering depression to masturbate.
In the early 18th century, when people discovered how to masturbate and give pleasure to self, there were people who totally opposed it and amongst them was one, John Harvey Kellogg. At that point of time, due to religious beliefs, masturbation was considered as a sin. And those who were found masturbating were considered to suffer from disease and were required to get ailment.
Since masturbation was new to world and nobody would know how to cure it, at that time, there was this guy in United States named John Harvey Kellogg from Michigan who took the responsibility of sailing the world out of this problem called masturbation. He was amongst those groups of people who do not only believed that masturbation is a sin but also thought sex is also a sin. Though he himself was married, yet he and his wife use to sleep in different rooms. He didn't even touch his own wife because of his beliefs; I suppose, since all of his children were adopted. By profession he was a physician, but for the time being masturbation had become more pressing concern for him as society was not able to fight this monstrous disease. He use to believe that person who masturbates (suffers this disease) has 39 different behaviors; starting from bad posture, mood swings, defective development, acne, epilepsy, boldness, bashfulness, palpitations, stiff joints and fondness of spicy food. Though unwillingly, but for the betterment of world he started to work onto something that could help society overcome masturbation.
At first he began his research from the fact that people who masturbate are fond of spicy food. From there on he found that meat and other non vegetarian food items create desires for sex and masturbation. So he thought of changing the eating habits of people by providing them something less complex, easy to digest and good for intestinal health. And he started to prepare a healthy treat for people with plain food including cereals and nuts. He somewhere believed that people are not eating in a manner which is good for health, because at that point of time there was no particular food for breakfast, people would start eating beef, chicken, meat and all the complex items since morning itself which creates a lot of gastric and intestinal issues. So his basic plan was to provide a proper meal to people, which would keep them healthy, with proper digestive and intestinal health and somehow people's urge to masturbate would vanish with that. Hence, working at Michigan's Battle Creek Sanitarium, he prepared a few healthy diets to fight this suffering of mankind.
At first, John created a healthy treat consisting of corns and oats baked into biscuits broken into small pieces. That treat was named as granula. But, another dietary reformer (of that time), James Celeb Jackson, was already selling a product with same name, so John had to change the name from granula to granola.
John didn't stop there; he kept innovating and developing new products. The next one in his line was a machine, which was aimed to clean intestine by running water through bowel, half of which is given through mouth and remaining half from anus and after that supplying yoghurt as a healer. But, this one again didn't really worked well, since it was painful and people wouldn't accept something painful for mere masturbating knowing that masturbating was not against any law and is not a disease.
After this failure, he again researched and finally came up with a new food based product in 1894. Because by that time he had known that only a good dietary product could improve the intestinal health and stop masturbation amongst people. Unlike first time, this time he used flaked grains for creating a healthy breakfast cereal. Amongst these flaked grains flaked corns was major content which was aimed to stop masturbation urge. This was his best shot to change people's eating habits and give rise to a new and healthy world and specially stop the sin – masturbation.
Now after he was ready with the product, the next challenge for him was to reach out to public so that they try his innovation. For this, he took the help from his brother Will. His brother was a businessman and had different ideas to make the product popular. Will wanted to add some sugar to the corn flakes so that they become more tempting and popular amongst people for the taste. Since he was least bothered about John's aim to put a break on masturbation he kept working in the direction he wanted to. But John never agreed to the pact, yet Will started selling corn flakes by adding sugar to it since 1909, which eventually gained popularity and soon became a big brand which till today is known as Kellogg's Company, which today has a number of brands in it and has a net worth of around $18 Billion.
Alongside, both of them kept fighting for years. Since Kellogg's corn flakes didn't had the intended effects, so sugar is finally an ingredient of it and even till date everybody is enjoying Kellogg's cornflakes; not as anti-masturbatory diet, but as a healthy breakfast treat that actually ensures good digestive and intestinal health.

I also swear by Napisan in my wash. I use the liquid variety, dabbing a bit on any major stains before adding a capful to my load. For really messy loads, I let my machine fill up and then pause it, let it sit for about 20 minutes! Works every time!ReplyDelete
I have yet to use napisan but with the 3 months supply I just won I will be able to try it out. My best stain removal tip is to spray hairspay on stains to stop them processing as soon as it happens. Wash with your usual stain remover in the washing machine.ReplyDelete
A good soaking and worst case use a nail brush to get the stains out!ReplyDelete
Soaking is the best and using washing powder with stain remover in it - works a treat!!!ReplyDelete
I have always used napisan as it was something I saw my mum use as a child. I use it as a soaker, pre-treater and a boost in my wash for my whites.ReplyDelete
A stain tip that I have, is for an old Blood stain, that has gone to the old stain brown colour. Mix some cornflour and baking soda, into a paste, and gently rub into the stain, leaving a thin coating on for a while. When you are ready, you sponge it off lightly, and the brown should gently lift away. I was thinking that maybe a teaspoon or two of Napisan, may boost this tip, and make it a very effective stain removing process!!!
The sun is my best stain remover. Works for baby poo or orange juice stains. Just expose stain to sunshine and stains magically disappear!ReplyDelete
I use the napisan soak, but the dab on is my fav. nothing can beat the sun though which gets out all sorts, works great on cloth nappiesReplyDelete
Breast milk stains! Though it doesn't show right away. My first sons lovely baby clothes were packed away for 8 years waiting for a little bubba to pass them on to. When I was washing the clothes for Nixon's arrival I could not believe how the stains had appeared over time. So, if you are planning on saving your baby clothes treat all spill stains immediately, even if they seem invisible as they will yellow over time and ruin those cute little outfits.ReplyDelete

text: "The guitar is the most popular instrument in America. Each year there are more than 3 million guitars sold, which is more than all other instruments combined. The old ones don't go away. For years I worked for Guitar Magazine and someone told me my house looked like a guitar museum. I didn't think that was a bad thing, but I researched and found out there was not a national guitar museum. There is a barbed wire museum, a tea cup museum and a ventriloquist dummy museum. You would think given the diversity of museums, there would be a guitar museum. No guitar museum. There are some small collections, but no one has a museum dedicated to the guitar. I decided if anyone is going to build one, it needs to be soon because we aren't getting any younger and younger generations aren't as bombarded by images of guitars and rock gods the way we were. I started playing guitar because there were several songs on the radio I wanted to play like 'The Immigrant Song' and 'House of the Rising Sun.' It was about making those sounds. Playing guitar imparts a cool factor, but it hasn't made me cool. The initial plan in 2009, was to put the museum outside of New York City, but that was the very depths of the recession. We decided to put it on the road and see if another city would be a better fit for a permanent home. The Gulf Coast Exploreum will be our home through January. I have been playing in bands since I was 15. Over my lifetime I have played in 12-15 bands and I am playing in a band now. There is only one other thing that comes close to the feeling of playing a guitar and I will leave it at that. When you are playing live, there is no other sensation like it, to be in the moment and having connections with the audience and other musicians. It is insanely intense and you can't construct that in the studio or at home. It is an emotional and physical jolt when people sing along It is worth doing even if you don't get paid. I can fake my way around all of the guitars and each one has a story. We show the evolution of stringed instruments over the last 5,000 years up to one that was made by a 3-D printer a few years ago. I can't pick a favorite. If the building was burning, I would stay in the building. For sheer beauty, the harp guitar is an amazing instrument. It is more of a piece of fine furniture and art than a guitar. There is clunky Russian guitar that no one loves but the Soviets in the 70s. It is blunt and ugly. The handmade craftsmanship of some of the acoustic guitars is beautiful. The Stratocaster, the Parker Fly and the Boostercaster. Some of them are from my collection and my partner's collection and they all have stories. We got the Russian guitar in a burlap bag with no padding and a little cardboard tag tied to the bag with our address and it made it to us with from the Ukraine. We have Lucille that BB King signed and gave to us. Tony Iommie's last guitar from the New York concert. We are excited about people seeing this exhibit from Honolulu to Mobile. It is cool to see people my age come back to the Exploreum who haven't been since they brought their kids here. They walk around and see science is cool. I am a huge fan of science and there is a lot of science in this. Learn one thing here and one thing in the rest of the building and we have done our job. I love to see kids look at the guitar and ask the why questions. There are 70-80 instruments in this room, including the Flying V, the world's largest playable guitar and people can learn about the instrument that drove the music we all listen to. In between setting up these shows, I write gory science books. Right now I am writing a book about the history of chocolate and will also be writing a book for the Smithsonian about transportation and how people move and travel. I have really enjoyed being in Mobile this week. People were warning us that there wasn't much to do and they were wrong. We spent the whole day at the Battleship and then went out on the pier in Fairhope. We had dinner at Kitchen on George and walked downtown. There is more here than people have admitted to. It just feels like a matter of time for Mobile. All of the basics are here and I am glad we are here."
