We thought that it was about time that we introduced you to our amazing team. We have so many big characters at PAB Studios, so we thought you'd be interested in getting to know them!
Sarah Johnson – Account Manager
- What does your job involve?
Understanding my clients businesses' and needs and aims and using creative ways to help solve problems or steal opportunities. In short I hope to make the most of opportunities for companies to grow and succeed.
- How long have you worked at PAB?
Just over two years.
- What were you doing before PAB?
Various roles from Customer Service Manager, Kitchen Studio Designer and Marketing Manager for an environmental company.
- What did you want to be when you were younger?
In a creative role, working with people, but undecided whether that was in craft, interiors or garden design.
- If you could be anywhere, right now, where would you be?
On top of a munro in Knoydart, Scotland in the sunshine with my dog Lottie and a packed lunch!
- If you could do anything, what would you do?
Other than being able to fly? Garden design continues to really interest me, so does fostering growth in others, so maybe set up a residential sports/crafts centre for teenagers with difficulties to give both them and their parents a bit of respite!
- What are your pet peeves?
Filling the car up with petrol, slugs eating my hostas and really loud ringtones!
- What are you passionate about?
Virtually anything creative, involving sport or seeing people grow and learn. I can get pretty passionate about a jug of Pimms on the lawn on a rare summer's day too!
- What have you gained from PAB Studios?
To be able to build relationships with clients and to be involved with decision making and promoting them effectively and seeing them grow.
- What is your favourite thing about working at PAB?
Apart from my colleagues? I think being able to be creative and being valued for that.

text: Hey gang-- I sold my 4-gig iPhone last weekend. The final bid price was $415. Don't ask me why these things are going for more than a new, higher-capacity version...I just took advantage of the market when I saw it. I'm getting ready to ship it, but I'm wondering if hitting "restore" in iTunes without syncing really wipes it to a factory state. I noticed that (after syncing the most recent backup on it) when I reinstalled apps like MobileScrobbler, it already had my preferences and username/password. Did these come from the backup copy or does "restore" just not wipe all my phone's library files? What should I do to make sure my buyer doesn't get my phone and install an app with all my information loaded into it? Thanks for your help!!

Does your living room need a little TLC this winter? Looking to revamp your space in a simple and more stylish way? Bazaar Magazine has a few tips on how to liven up your living room space to make your home a little cosier during the upcoming seasons.
Antique Road Show Your Living Space
If you have hardwood floors, the best way to cosy it up is to completely decorate your space with antiques. Use dark linen sofas and lay down neutral coloured rugs to give your room the warmth it needs. For decorations, thrift for bric-a-brac and old pieces such as candles, old photo frames, clocks, radios, vinyl record players and bookends to give your space a vintage feel.
Create a Reading Room/Library
If you're a bookworm like Belle from Beauty and The Beast, another great way to transform your living room space is to turn it into a reading room corner. Add bookshelves, buy books that you look to read and add them to your collection. In the corner by the bookshelf, get a cosy armchair or reading chair with matching throw pillows and blankets.
Warm it up with a Fireplace
Instead of investing in a heater this year, install or build a stone or woodburning fireplace into your home. This will be a perfect addition to your room, especially in winter. Add a cute rug in front of the fireplace so you can lay in front of the fire with your friends or family.

It began in New York City. While standing on a street corner, amid heavy pedestrian traffic, cars whizzing past, and horns blowing, Jill would say, "Little Man." It was puzzling. Jill, who has always worked with people with differences, would never call attention to a person's differences, even stature. Another corner, another "Little Man." Finally, the light clicked on. On the pole across the street, the sign had changed from a red hand to a white stick figure. Jill was announcing the change in crosswalk signal, indicating to the old guy standing next to her that he should step off the curb and cross the street before the red hand appeared and cross traffic began flowing again.
Cruising the Georgian Bay, the announcement of "Little Man" began again. Puzzling – there are no traffic signals on the waterways. Looking over to an island, the object of the announcement became clear. It was a stacked-stone man, a Canadian Native welcoming symbol. The Inuit statue is an Inukshuk (In-OOK-Shook), with many translations, including: "Stone man that points the way," "Someone was here," and "You are on the right path." The rock stack was used by the Inuit from Alaska to Greenland. The Inukshuk is a symbol of hospitality and friendship, and was chosen to be the symbol for the 2010 Vancouver Canadian Winter Olympics.
Canadians have built Inuksuit throughout the Georgian Bay 30,000 Islands. They stand on islands with homes and on small islands that are only a rock. Seeing an Inuksuk does make one feel welcomed.

Citizen Staff Writer
University of Arizona basketball recruit Solomon Hill feels like he's coming home again.
The 6-foot-6, 195-pound forward from Los Angeles Fairfax High School recommitted to UA on Tuesday after decommitting in October and pledging for USC.
"It really does feel like home," Hill said. "It's a lot like that."
Could it be home for others?
The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch is reporting coach Archie Miller will join his brother's coaching staff at Arizona. Archie, 30, the younger brother of new UA head coach Sean Miller, spent the past season as Ohio State coach Thad Matta's top assistant.
Sean Miller, 40, had been keeping a job open for his former top assistant at Xavier, Chris Mack, but Xavier confirmed Tuesday that Mack would be the Musketeers' new head coach.
Sean Miller, who had been on the road, has returned to Tucson but did not return a message.
Rich Paige, the team's media director, said, "Coach Miller is still working hard to complete his coaching staff."
National letter of intent for the spring begins on Wednesday. Arizona could have as many as six scholarships to give, with the defections of juniors Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill.
UA is still awaiting official word from junior guard Nic Wise on whether he'll make himself available for the NBA draft and hire an agent. Or Wise could "test the waters" to gauge NBA teams' interest and not hire an agent, which is what he told the Citizen he would do after UA lost to Louisville in the Sweet 16.
In the meantime, Sean Miller has been busy in his first week on the job. He's received commitments from two players and could be in line for more.
When Hill decommitted in the fall – after former UA coach Lute Olson retired – he said he was concerned about UA losing recruits and about its unclear future.
But that's changed. Hill said he's "real comfortable" with Miller, and that the new UA coach is doing a great job "in building" for the future.
"He's been able to set his two feet down and has gotten at it," Hill said. "I really like that."
Hill is expected to join center Kyryl Natyazhko, who committed to the Wildcats on Saturday, choosing UA over Arizona State.
Natyazhko, a 6-10, 250-pound center, averaged 24 points and nine rebounds a game for IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He was listed as the ninth best big man and the 75th best player overall by Rivals.com. He was listed at No. 68 by Scout.com.
It's not clear where recruit Tremayne Johnson stands with the current UA coaches. Johnson, a 6-7, 200-pound forward from Los Angeles Southwest College, was offered and accepted a scholarship in the winter. He said he has yet to speak to Miller. He feels that he's "committed to Arizona." Johnson said he had planned on meeting with Miller soon, maybe within the week.
Hill said he's excited to come to UA. He said that although he had yet to speak to USC coach Tim Floyd, that he had spoken to some assistant coaches and "they knew I was leaning to UA."
"You want to do what's best for you," Hill said. "He went to talk to Arizona (about the recently vacant head coaching job). He wanted to see about Arizona. That's what I did. Arizona is a great situation for me. (Now) I can go to a school and get immediate playing time and at good school."
Archie Miller was an assistant to coach Herb Sendek at Arizona State in 2006-07 before going to Ohio State.
Archie Miller is a former North Carolina State standout, who ranks second in school history in career 3-pointers (218) and free-throw percentage (.846). He helped North Carolina State reach the 2002 NCAA Tournament.
His hiring at UA would leave the status of UA assistant Reggie Geary up in the air. Geary, who recruited Johnson, was hoping to stay on with Sean Miller's staff.
Mack, a five-year Xavier assistant and a two-time captain as a Xavier player, will usher in a new era in Musketeers basketball as the program's 17th head coach. Xavier players rallied around Mack, who was key in recruiting many of them.
His candidacy was supported by NBA player and former Musketeer David West, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. West wrote in a text message that "we should keep it in the house. The program is continuing to grow."
Going into basketball signing day on Wednesday, Arizona had three commitments:
Player Pos. Ht. Wt. School
Solomon Hill F 6-6 195 Los Angeles Fairfax HS
Kyryl Natyazhko C 6-10 250 IMG Academy (Fla.)
Tremayne Johnson F 6-7 200 L.A. Southwest Col.

Make a mistake when shopping for food or clothing and the loss usually isn't a big deal. But that's not the case when seeking shelter.
A home is the biggest purchase of a lifetime for most families.
And since most folks don't buy houses all that often, they have relatively little experience in dealing with the complicated legal procedures, the often confusing terms and the many potential mistakes that can be made.
A smart buyer will do a bit of homework beforehand, and there are some low-cost booklets available from the government that can help prevent at least a few housing headaches.
"Wise Home Buying" is a good one to start with. Only 24 pages, this booklet from the Department of Housing and Urban Development packs in lots of advice and warnings, reminders of problems to watch for and how to avoid many of them.

What is Variable Data Printing?
—Plastic Cards FAQ – Variable Data Printing.
Now printing your variable data project is as easy as a day at the beach! Variable-information printing is the process where elements such as graphics, images, and text can be altered in each individually printed piece without having to stop or slow down the printing process, all while pulling info from an external file or database. One example of this printing style in action can be when creating personalized plastic business cards for more than 2 owners. Plastic business cards have the same layout, but the name, phone number and address are different on each business card.
What is Foil Stamping?
—Plastic Cards FAQ – Metallic gold and Metallic silver Stamping.
This process employs the use of foil stamping machines that heat up metallic foil so that it can be transferred onto a solid surface. Metallic gold and metallic silver are the most commonly used foils for this permanent process. Foil stamping machines used in this process create a level of heat that allows them to transfer colorful foil to solid surfaces. This process is permanent and can be applied directly onto a number of different design elements, such as your company logo.
What is Embossing?
—Plastic Cards FAQ – Embossing and Embossed Text.
When letters and numbers are placed on a card using the embossing process, the end result is a 3-dimensional look. The text is raised, and can be applied in a number of different colors. There is a tactile feeling that is delivered via embossing, and when gold or silver lettering is used, you get a look much like that of a bank card. The durability of the design makes it more likely that the person using the card will carry it with them at all times.
What is Magnetic Stripe?
—Plastic Cards FAQ – Magnetic stripes and their purpose.
Magnetic stripes were once traditionally used on debit and credit cards, but they have now been extended to gift cards, prepaid calling cards, hotel key cards, access cards, rewards cards, and many more. As many as 3 tracks, called tracks 1, 2, and 3, can be used on these cards, although track 3 is one that is used very sparingly, and is sometimes not even preset at all on cards that have a narrower stripe. When a point-of-sale reader is used, it will read either track 1 or track 2, or sometimes both, just in case one or the other cannot be read.
What is Barcode Personalization?
—Plastic Cards FAQ – The use of Barcode and QR code.
Barcodes are a convenient, cost-effective solution that can be applied to many different applications. It is because of this that barcode are now so routinely used in a variety of situations, and that will continue to happen as the technology improves. Rewards cards, gift cards, parcel tracking, and transportation cards are just some of the places where barcodes are commonly used. There really is no faster way to pay or provide a form of ID than with a barcode.
Somewhat similar to barcodes, QR codes are a 2-dimensional code made up of a collection of black and white dots called data pixels. There is all sort of information that can be stored in a QR code, such as passwords, social media links, event calendars, PDF documents, and much, much more. You can use online QR code generators that allow you to inset your company logo while using a variety of different shapes and colors.
What is Signature Panel Printing?
—Plastic Cards FAQ – Regular and Preprinted signature panels printing.
Signature panels also allow for other information – names, expiration dates, money values, etc. – to be added at a later date. There are a variety of different applications where signature panels can be used, with rewards cards, plastic business cards, membership cards, and loyalty cards among the most popular uses. Preprinted signatures on the plastic business cards create that extra touch, making the business card look more personal and professional.
What is Spot UV Printing?
—Plastic Cards FAQ – Ultraviolet Coating (UV Printing).
Plastic cards can all somewhat look the same, but consumers looking to make a bit of a statement can do so by adding an ultraviolet coating. What you end up with is a plastic card that has a glossy, shiny appearance, either all over, or in specific areas of the card where the UV coating has been applied. A process called spot UV coating is used when only small areas are treated. Whichever method is used; you are left with a card that has a deeper color in the printed areas. This helps draw the attention of the client, especially when the darker color is added to a matte background.

To celebrate the beauty of motherhood, I'm organising Mini Photo Sessions at Buskett Garden on the 21st and 22nd of May.
The ties between mother and son/daughter are unique and precious. Time pass so fast, that we all grow up and get older without noticing. How often do we think about having proper photos to cherish those years?!
I'm not a mother yet, but I'm a daughter that lives far from her mum and miss her so much. Last summer I organised a photo session in Portugal for my own family and I intend to make it every year, simply because in a few years I'm sure it will be one of the most important things I can own.
Just to say that these Mini Sessions have no age gap. I would love to take photos from older people as well. Often we think about our kids, but why not also about our mum?
To book your session, please send me an email to email@example.com and more information will follow.
I leave you with these beautiful, powerful and honest words. Happy Mother's Day!
"The most difficult part of birth is the first year afterwards. It is the year of travail - when the soul of a woman must birth the mother inside her. The emotional labour pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the physical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth, perhaps it is even more sacred." Joy Kusek

Each installation is completed by highly trained ThompsonGas professionals who offer a free site survey, guaranteed installations, custom fabrication and onsite tank refills to extend time between refills. We are available to help with technical calculations for tank, line and regulator sizing.

Nova Sketch for the C2E2 Contest Winner of "Patron of Steve Bryant" Category. 8.5″x11″ Bristol Board. Congratulations, Wesley!
The second commission, as part of ONE MINUTE LATER, a themed cover re-creation collection by an avid original art collector named Michael Finn. You can read about my first OML commission HERE.
One Minute Later – Killraven on Amazing Adventures 30 Cover. Killraven, M'Shulla, and Mint Julep turn the tables on the Martians. Inked and inkwash on 11″x17″ Bristol Board.
Below is Michael's post-production work, including the side-by-side composition with the original cover art:
Athena Voltaire Sketch for the C2E2 Contest Winner of "Fan of Steve Bryant" Category. 8.5″x11″ Bristol Board.
Congratulations to Andy Tom! Classy of you to pick Steve Bryant's very own gal, Athena! 😉
Commission – Spider-Man, X-Men & Avengers in Arcade's Murderworld. Ink & Inkwash on 11″x17″ Bristol Board.
Commission – Batman Stands Guard Over a Gargoyle. Ink & Inkwash on 11″x17″ Bristol Board.
Howdy, Folks! Although I won't be attending C2E2 this year, I am offering 2 different ways for those attending the show to win a Free 8.5″x11″ Inked Sketch by me (check out this page for the specifications). To clarify, 2 participating peeps will win a Free Sketch of his/her choice drawn by me. I will include the shipping also.
HOW TO ENTER: Stop by Steve Bryant's C2E2 Artist Alley Table, located at the Artist Alley E13. Once there, I'd encourage each of you to interact with this awesome, super-nice-guy independent creator, check out his ware and maybe even purchase somethings. At this point there are two different ways you could become the winner for one of the free sketches:
Method 1: Become the Premier Patron of Steve Bryant's C2E2 Con Appearance. Steve will be keeping a tally of purchases made with him during the show. Whoever is the largest financial spender at Steve's table (pre-orders included) for this C2E2 show will be automatically selected for one of the free sketches.
Method 2: Become a Friend of Steve Bryant and his creative endeavors. When you do stop by talk to Steve and get to know about the different properties he is working on, including Athena Voltaire and Ursula Wilde. And then, most importantly take a photo of you and Steve (hugs & kisses are optional ;-). Then you have 1 week after the show to contact me in one of the published methods of contact (e-mail me, use my contact form, tweet me, message me via Facebook, etc.). The more creative the photo, the more pleasure it would be for me but will not increase your chance for winning. One random person will be selected to win and receive the free sketch.
That's pretty much it! Have fun at the show folks, and thanks for stopping by Steve's table and showing some much-deserved love for my friend.
Ben Grimm's Poker Game – "A Friend in Need"
More interesting commissions continue. This time, I was commissioned by Fred Chamberlain to create my version of Ben Grimm's (The Thing of Fantastic Four) Poker Game. I believe his description sums up the process pretty well:
I hadn't been aware of Jun Bob Kim until seeing an amazing Invaders One Minute Later commission here at CAF. I immediately contacted him and from the first moment of our interaction until completion of the final artwork, he was both enthusiastic, friendly and incredibly creative. My only request was that he include Ben, Spidey and Logan, asking him to add other characters of his chosing. Jun came back with the idea of "A tongue-in-cheek game of poker… for the fate of the world". As with all of the artists, his putting his own artistic spin on this added immensely to the original idea. The fun continued as he sent me a pencilled rough, that clearly depicted fun hijinx including the playing cards reflected in Silver Surfer's forehead, Logan handing off a card to Spidey under the table, Kang going all in Doom tantrumming and more….. as well as a nod to Collidge's "A Friend in Need" classic piece. He offered to add another character into the scene and we came up with a disapproving Cap looking on.
April Fools Sketch – Deadpool "No More Mr. Niceguy!" Inks on 8.5″x11″ Bristol Board.
April Fools Sketch – "Elvis" Plastic Man. Inked on 8.5″x11″ Bristol Board.

Why can't this house stuff just be simple?!
The woman buying my house is desperate to exchange contracts. Fine. I have no problem with that. Her solicitors have been coming up with nitpicky little problems, not mine. The latest was going to cost me £200.
In her haste to get contracts exchange (she needs to, to get her son into the local school) she's now agreed to pay that. Fine. I have no problems with that either. So tell the solicitor, all goes well, exchange tomorrow, everyone happy.
You'd think. Except my solicitor is on holiday, and the person who's looking after my stuff while she's away is with a client. So I can't get the news to her, and that's going to mean more hassle for me from the buyer.
In the meantime, I have no idea what's happening on the place that I'm buying. Last I heard (2 days ago) my solicitor (well, the standin, anyway) had received some information we'd been waiting for. Great. What does it say?
All of this is not helped by the fact that the village post arrives after I've left for work, so I'm permanently left thinking there will probably be something waiting for me when I get home.
Still, I've resigned now. So this all has to work eventually...
[Update] Still having issues. This morning I managed to speak to our solicitor, and explain that we want to exchange. I've provisionally booked a removal van, even. Then my solicitor got back to me and said that the other solicitors won't exchange today until they have a signed piece of paper from me and some search that they haven't mentioned before. That will take 2 days. A search that checks there are no ancient rights of way across our shared tiny and hemmed in by houses carpark. No, seriously.
Why does common sense have seemingly no part to play in law?

Talat Aziz took his initial training in music from Kirana Gharana. He was trained primarily by Ustad Samad Khan and later by Ustad Fayaz Ahmed who were famous classical music singers.
After the initial training, Talat decided to learn music from music maestro Mehdi Hassan. On many occasions, like on a concert tour of the US and Canada in 1986, he shared the stage with him on concerts in India and abroad.
His first major performance was in Hyderabad at King Kothi. He sang before a crowd of over 5,000. He sang Kaise Sukoon Paoon and some ghazals by noted shaayars of Hyderabad. Though he was nervous at his first performance in front of audience, he performed well.

No one reading the Quality Assurance Agency's audit report on the Middlesex University franchise in Cairo would recognise it as justifying Phil Baty's story ("Franchises fail to impress", THES , June 15). The QAA found arrangements for safeguarding the academic standards of the award were "sound and command confidence".
What is worrying, however, is the QAA's inability to grasp the nature of an academic communitas. The agency's approach is corporatist. It believes the requirements of institutional responsibility for quality and standards demand more central control, and that it is only through central control that such responsibilities can be discharged. This is not how academia works. One would have thought the troubles the QAA has visited on itself would have tempered its obsession with the compliance culture of command and control that is one of the hallmarks of its failed methodologies. Evidently not.

Russia's Ruble Crashes 10% in Two Days as Investors React to New Sanctions
By Steve Toborov 4/11/2018 01:15:00 AM 3 comments
Russia's currency and stock market began the week with big losses in response to the new sanctions imposed on Russian officials with strong ties to President Putin.
The Russian ruble continued its decline in Tuesday's Forex session, trading down 5.5% against the dollar at the lowest point of the day, before closing off with a 4% loss at a rate of 63.01 rubles per dollar:
At the height of the sell-off, the ruble was trading at a level (63.92 rubles per U.S. dollar) not seen since December of 2016.
Russia's RTS Index was down more than 4% during the first half of the trading session, but managed to recoup most of the losses in the second half of the trading day, finishing with a small loss of 0.4%.

Five Man Electrical Band -- Absolutely Right, Money-Back Guarantee, We Play Rock and Roll.
Rascals -- See, Carry Me Back.
Mary-Chapin Carpenter -- Passionate Kisses.
Rush -- Time Stand Still, Force 10.
Albert Hammond -- Free Electric Band.
Chicago -- Questions 67 & 68.
Tracey Ullman -- The B-Side.
Strawbs -- Shine On Silver Sun, Down by the Sea, Part of the Union, Lay Down, We'll Meet Again Sometime, Martin Luther King's Dream (live), Why and Wherefore, Floating in the Wind, Absent Friend.
...Am moving into another musical-boredom phase -- have a big bag of half-unheard CD's I've been taking to work with me, stuff for further investigation, & I'm getting bored with THAT, too. But I still stumble over some interesting things now&then....
Along with their two Top 20 hits, the Five Man Electrical Band's BEST OF also includes a handful of minor hits & some halfway decent off-the-wall stuff -- "Money-Back Guarantee" is silly & catchy & has some good choruses that stick in your head. & they try like hell to sell it. It was a minor hit. "We Play Rock and Roll" is all new to me -- a funny piece recalling a show the band played where there was allegedly no one in the audience under age 45, & the crowd kept calling for polkas & foxtrots.... 5MEB also try hard on this one -- a few more extra musical touches & it coulda been a hit....
The version of "Passionate Kisses" included on MCC's ESSENTIAL seems to punch-up her vocal & mute the instrumental accompaniment -- & this is not a good thing, because in this version, MCC doesn't sound as excited as her band & backup singers. It's supposed to be a ROCKER....
ESSENTIAL isn't a bad cross-section -- it DOES include the excellent "The Long Way Home," but I miss "Downtown Train," "A Lot Like Me," "This Shirt," "Middle Ground," "You Win Again," "Come On, Come On"....
For me, "Time Stand Still" is enough all by itself to get Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. & "Force Ten" is pretty freakin' great, too....
Continuing to explore the Strawbs' HALCYON DAYS best-of (British version), & continue to be mildly disappointed. The end-of-the-world "Down by the Sea" is easily the best thing here, along with the over-the-top "Hero and Heroine" -- but EVERY great Strawbs song is pretty melodramatic.
But then you get to "Absent Friend," which has GOT to be a JOKE -- it's SO melodramatic, so overdone, even keeping in mind its low-key 3 a.m. jazzy-bluesy lounge-lizard setting. Could've almost fit-in on mid-'70s adult-contemporary radio. But I couldn't listen to it without laughing, & most of their stuff is meant to be Taken Seriously. Maybe by this point they were in on the joke?
Example: "Martin Luther King's Dream" is pleasant enough -- though certainly not stunning, & has a grand enough subject -- but they didn't include the great, angry live "Where is This Dream of Your Youth?" or the noisy live "Man Who Called Himself Jesus"? Why would they ignore their best work? Were they wary of giving Rick Wakeman too much space? Who compiled this?
*AHEM* Sorry. Meanwhile, "Part of the Union" is an excellent, hilarious pro-union singalong that could've been a hit in the U.S. "Why and Wherefore" is an excellent fiery rocker that -- according to the liner notes -- is made up of two British B-sides glued back-together. "Lay Down" is an above-average singalong.
Have also started noticing how often leader/main songwriter Dave Cousins' subject-matter mostly comes down to the inhumanity of Man & shattered love affairs as contrasted against the gorgeous pastoralness of Nature. The good stuff is Really Good -- but will it be enough to make me buy the American best-of ... or listen to any more of their original albums...?
More soon....

Sprinkles, Ice Cream and Unicorns at The Museum of Ice Cream
According to the official Museum of Ice Cream website, this museum is ''the place where ideas are transformed into real life experiences. It is a place where flavors are mysteries, toppings are toys and sprinkles make the world a better place.''
After hearing all about this museum online, i couldn't help but wonder if it is really worth to see, or is like another ''Color Factory''. You never know without trying, right? So we got our tickets for the day after the opening day. Four of us were all ready to try every ice cream that was going to be offered to us. Honestly, I do not even like or eat ice cram as much. Once every blue moon, MAYBE! But, I had to try the Museum of Ice Cream's ice cream. :)
We were in the museum after waiting in the line for about 15-20 minutes. After we got the welcome information, we saw a pink wall full of the historic facts about ice cream. Then, we found ourselves in front of the Ice Cream Vault. It would have been cooler if the vault was actually open. (The #MOIC building was the Armani Exchange Building earlier. And before that it was a bank, that is the reason there is a vault inside.) We had another short information session in front of the vault, after that we proceeded to the actual museum tour.
Museum of Ice Cream actually reminded me of IKEA, because you enter from one door, and get out from another door. You cannot really turn back. At least, they do not want you to do so.
Here are some pictures from my visit:
We first received a little cup of Bi-Rite ice cream, and after that we received a half mochi ice-cream. Not sure about what brand it was. They only had 2 flavors, and I got the strawberry flavor. I heard they had three flavors later on. Maybe they kept adding more, who knows. Couple rooms later, we got 'unicorn ice cream' which was basically a miniature size vanilla ice-cream. I do not know where the unicorn came from. The room had a big unicorn in it, maybe that's why. I wish they had more ice cream vendors inside. I would love to see the Mitchell's Ice Cream, Smitten Ice Cream, Salt & Straw, Humphry Slocombe, and others. But none of them were there unfortunately.
I have to be honest... I did not like the sprinkle pool. Like at all. It is so small, so they can only have 15 people or so in at any given time. This results with a big line. You have to wait in that line for a long time because they do not let you go. You have to ask them to pass the sprinkle room. You cannot just walk away otherwise.
The tour ended with three swings with three different background for final picture and boomerang opportunities. On that floor, there was also a ice cream mini shop where you can purchase some ice cream, if the ones you had are not enough, and there was the MOIC store and a ping-pong table.
Overall, it was fun, except for the lines and waiting times. They can definitely do a better job ion the location and vendors next time. Bigger location will allow them to have a bigger pool, and there will not be long lines and frustrated people :)
Have you visited the Museum of Ice Cream yet? How did you like it? Please do share your experience with me.

The biennial Disney D23 Expo begins its three-day run Friday at Anaheim Convention Center, and some folks had already begun lining up early Thursday:
The camp out line has started. First ones here came this morning. About 30 ppl here @DisneyD23 #D23Expo pic.twitter.com/yI3YAZbVhx
— ocdisney (@ocdisney) August 13, 2015
(Considering D23's previously announced policy of advance lines being disallowed prior to 10:00pm Thursday, this information didn't go over well with rule-abiding attendees.)
This is only the fourth D23 Expo ever, since it began in 2009 and is only held in odd-numbered years. Only having the event every other year means it's a bit slower to solve the challenges all new conventions face – however, that Disney magic combined with the incredible crowd-herding skills they've adapted from their theme park operations mean D23 Expo puts on a good show.
But if you're a regular convention attendee, D23 Expo will be a Sunday afternoon stroll through the park for you. While Disney bloggers and local newspapers have been touting "survival guides" for weeks, it'll feel like a relax-a-con for those who just recovered from San Diego Comic-Con.
Tickets went on sale a year ago, but Saturday badges have only sold out within the last month. Slow sales prompted discount tickets to be widely available on sites like Goldstar, though your only option at this point is to go direct to the Mouse. At $216 for an adult three-day pass, it's a bit pricey compared to other big shows. Some of that funds great features like StagePass and StorePass (Disney's popular FastPass system applied to waits for panels and exclusive merchandise), but you'll notice top-of-the-line production values in every panel room and across the exhibit hall. But those steep prices sometimes keep away families – taking a family of four for just one day would run $256 just to get in the door. For comparison, a 4-day adult ticket to last spring's Star Wars Celebration (also in Anaheim) was $140; four days with preview night for an adult at San Diego Comic-Con was $220; and a 3-day adult ticket to ReedPOP's Chicago-based C2E2 was a mere $60.
Let's take a look at what's ahead this weekend! Our panel picks & programming room guide are available in a separate post.
Traffic & Parking
Refer to our traffic map for WonderCon Anaheim, which was also hosted at the Anaheim Convention Center.
One important new note: construction on the expansion of the Anaheim Convention Center has already begun, so parking lots 1 and 2 are already closed. If you are determined to get a parking space at the convention center, arrive extra early. Parking at the convention center is $15.
Additional parking is available down the street at the GardenWalk shopping center; D23 hasn't included the price in their information, but in the past their event pricing has matched the convention center at $15 with no re-entry.
Cheaper parking can be found at Angels Stadium for $10; a free shuttle will operate between the stadium and the convention center. The stadium opens for parking at 6:00am daily.
For attendees with Disneyland Annual Passports (or at least, APs with parking passes), the Toy Story lot will open at 7:00am daily. (This lot is open to non-APs as well but it's $17 to park.)
Although Disney is allowing overnight queues for Friday and Saturday programming in Hall D23, there has not been any mention of where 24-hour parking might be available. One place it definitely isn't available is the convention center.
The D23 Expo show floor usually has several pavilions that have displays and exhibits available. Parks and Resorts will show off plans for Shanghai Disneyland; the Walt Disney Studios area will have costumes and props on display; a big Disneyland 60th anniversary exhibit will be hosted in the exhibit hall near the Dream Store. These are one of the best parts of the Expo and are definitely a highlight: go early in the morning and early in the weekend to beat the lines.

Show Floor & Exclusives
If you want to be the first on the show floor to nab some exclusive merch, we hope you're a D23 Gold or Silver member: those members get one hour of early access each morning (beginning at 9:00am). The rest of us – free D23 members included – must wait for the general opening hour of 10:00am. And those with the ultra-VIP Sorcerer's badges got to shop early on Thursday.
However, if you're not hell-bent on being first in line, you can try the new StorePass feature. Like StagePass or FastPass, the StorePass will "save" you a spot in line and cut your wait time down. Go to the StorePass distribution area in Hall A beginning at 10:00am and pick up a pass that is good for a 30 minute window between noon and 5:00pm. One StorePass is permitted per person, per day.
It doesn't cost you anything to grab a StorePass, so it's probably worth it – especially for the Disney Store. At right are Sunday afternoon lines for the Dream Store, top, and the Disney Store, below. It's a pretty drastic difference. They're billed as being available in "very limited quantities," so best make picking one up a priority if getting into the Disney Store is important to you.
All those smaller shops that were previously relegated to the "Collectors Forum" are now in one of three "Emporium" areas throughout the exhibit hall.
Clearly this $1,200 fiber optic jacket is the best exclusive of the weekend:

Other Important Things to Remember
D23 Expo operates slightly differently than most other cons, so keep these rules in mind this weekend:
D23 has their own specific rules for cosplayers – for example, no weapons allowed at all, and no masks that cover your eyes. Be sure you've read up on all their rules before showing up in costume.
- Technically, their rules prohibit outside food and beverage. We'll see how well this is enforced. The famous food trucks should return to the Grand Plaza out front. Scheduled: Tasting Spoon, Barcelona,
Spudrunners, Viking, Porko Rico, Devilicious, The Cut, Chuck-N-Chip, and Moustache Mikes.
- You are not allowed to have personal items signed at autograph sessions. You must have artists sign merchandise you bought at the Expo. There is also a blank page in your souvenir guide for autographs.
- There is no early entry to programming rooms for the disabled, and there are no separate ADA lines. If you cannot stand in the line, you are expected to sit in a seating area outside the queue room and rejoin your group when they reach the entrance.
- The line for the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives exhibit is usually the longest on Sunday – even if the wait seems long on Friday or Saturday, do not wait until Sunday afternoon to go. You will likely be met by a capped line and a few hundred people with an hours-long wait ahead of them.
Will we be seeing you this weekend at D23 Expo? What are you looking forward to most? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter!

Addressing climate change with a pro-growth free-market framework
Emissions market standardization would ... create a framework for eliminating inefficiencies in state, local, and regional energy credit and emissions markets through standardization (i.e., establishing common trading units). This will help project developers achieve economies of scale and and help communities mitigate climate change.
Background: Nine Northeastern states and California have established greenhouse gas cap-and-trade systems and dozens of states and municipalities have established renewable energy credit (REC) markets to achieve climate change goals. While effective to-date, these local and regional markets are inefficient because of their small-scale and different trading units.
… be good for business in Northern Virginia and across the US. Many companies voluntarily offset emissions or participate in carbon markets and more and more shareholders demand that climate risk be factored into corporate decision-making. By creating market standards, barriers for small businesses to engage these markets will be reduced and the door to additional markets (i.e., emissions trading systems) in Europe and China can open.
… support a "free-market, all of the above" approach to energy. We need to keep all options open for affordable, reliable energy. Charles supports nuclear power, the Keystone XL pipeline, and the development of Virginia's offshore energy resources with the full implementation of existing environmental and social safeguards. We need to continue to allow the market to put forward the best solutions to energy problems and protect individuals' rights. Emissions market standardization would keep all options on the table and allow people and markets to choose.
… support local efforts. Charles is proud that Arlington County, the City of Alexandria, and Fairfax County are among the communities that have led the way to measure emissions, reduce energy use, and avoid or capture greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions market standardization would help our local governments meet their existing goals and scale up their successes.
As a voluntary program, this proposal DOES NOT: establish a cap for greenhouse gas emissions, establish mandates for state or corporations. This proposal DOES: protect the rights of states, and create a framework for job creation in innovation hubs like Northern Virginia.
Don Beyer has failed to take any action on what he calls "the single most important issue of our time". His Federal carbon tax ignores the good work that has already been done by states and would disproportionately hurt small businesses
From March 15, 2014 Press Release ... "Don Beyer today announced his support for a progressive carbon tax in order to fight climate change, spur green energy, and heighten consumer consciousness on this critical issue. The most effective way of reducing carbon emissions is to put a tax on carbon pollution," Beyer said. "This is the single most important issue of our time and we need to act. We owe it to our children and grandchildren.""
Don Beyer supports the Clean Power Plan despite lawsuits by 24 states arguing the regulation is unprecedented executive overreach
From August 3, 2015 Press Release … "Climate change is the existential crisis of our time. President Obama's Clean Power Plan will combat this threat to our health, safety, and security of the generations who will inherit our environmental legacy," said Rep. Don Beyer
