Arabesco dinnerware exudes a cheerful enjoyment of life. It has been challenging time and decor trends for four centuries, delighting generations of Italian pottery lovers.

|Marshall Chess Club Hosts Bobby Fischer Memorial Blitz
|By Marcus Fenner
|March 11, 2010
On March 9th, 2010 Bobby Fischer would have celebrated his 67th birthday. To commemorate this date, the historic Marshall Chess Club in New York's Greenwich Village hosted a speed chess tournament in Fischer's honor.
Among the 54 players (including seven grandmasters) and many guests were a number of close personal friends of the legendary American World Champion, most notably GM William Lombardy, Fischer's second at the 1972 match in Reikjavik, Marshall Chess Club President Dr. Frank Brady, Fide Master Asa Hoffmann, and WIM Shernaz Kennedy.
The tournament was played in the Marshall's Great Hall, the scene of countless Bobby Fischer triumphs. The 9-round Swiss ended in a 3-way tie between GM's Giorgi Kacheishvili and Mikheil Kekelidze of Georgia and New York's Super IM and GM-elect Aleksandr Lenderman.

Walker, Missouri's Nixon joke about beer
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon knows where the political land mines are in Wisconsin.
The most dangerous one he has to dodge will participating in a National Governors Association meeting in Milwaukee? Having his picture taken with a Miller beer.
Nixon joked Saturday about how poorly that would go over with voters back home in Missouri, home of Anheuser-Busch. Miller is based on Milwaukee.
Walker joked to Nixon that if he's caught with a Miller beer he could face a recall election. Walker became the first governor in U.S. history to defeat a recall last year.
His recall was spurred not by beer choice but anger over his law effectively ending collective bargaining rights for public workers.

On Oscar weekend, the active-duty Navy SEALs action flick "Act of Valor" stormed the box office, earning $24.7 million according to studio estimates Sunday.
That was a strong opening for the film, which stars real Navy SEALs. As would be expected, "Act of Valor" resonated particularly with males, who made up 71 percent of the audience.
"Tyler Perry's Good Deeds" also opened well, earning an estimated $16 million. It's a more dramatic offering for Perry, who directs and stars in the film.
The weekend's other new releases — the thriller "Gone" and the comedy "Wanderlust" — had weaker openings. The David Wain comedy, starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, earned $6.6 million. "Gone," starring Amanda Seyfried, took in $5 million.

Prince Klemens von Metternich (1773-1859) was the leading
figure in European government up until 1848. As political master
of the Austrian Empire, he was the architect of an alliance system
among the European powers after Napoleon's defeat - a system which
tried to undo the damage to traditional dynastic politics wroght
by the French revolution.
From Prince Klemens von Metternich. Political Confession
of Faith (1820)
The Source of the Evil
Man's nature is immutable. The first needs of society are and
remain the same, and the differences which they seem to offer
find their explanation in the diversity of influences, acting
on the different races by natural causes, such as the diversity
of climate, barrenness or richness of soil, insular or continental
position, &c. &c. These local differences no doubt produce
effects which extend far beyond purely physical necessities; they
create and determine particular needs in a more elevated sphere;
finally, they determine the laws, and exercise an influence even
on religions.
It is, on the other hand, with institutions as with everything
else. Vague in their origin, they pass through periods of development
and perfection, to arrive in time at their decadence; and, conforming
to the laws of man's nature, they have, like him, their infancy,
their youth, their age of strength and reason, and their age of
Two elements alone remain in all their strength, and never cease
to exercise their indestructible influence with equal power. These
are the precepts of morality, religious as well as social, and
the necessities created by locality. From the time that men attempt
to swerve from these bases, to become rebels against these sovereign
arbiters of their destinies, society suffers from a malaise which
sooner or later will lead to a state of convulsion. The history
of every country, in relating the consequences of such errors,
contains many pages stained with blood, but we dare to say, without
fear of contradiction, one seeks in vain for an epoch when an
evil of this nature has extended its ravages over such a vast
area as it has done at the present time.
The progress of the human mind has been extremely rapid in the
course of the last three centuries. This progress having been
accelerated more rapidly than the growth of wisdom (the only counterpoise
to passions and to error); a revolution prepared by the false
systems, the fatal errors into which many of the most illustrious
sovereigns of the last half of the eighteenth century fell, has
at last broken out in a country advanced in knowledge, and enervated
by pleasure, in a country inhabited by a people whom one can only
regard as frivolous, from the facility with which they comprehend
and the difficulty they experience in judging calmly.
Having now thrown a rapid glance over the first causes of the
present state of society, it is necessary to point out in a more
particular manner the evil which threatens to deprive it, at one
blow, of the real blessings, the fruits of genuine civilisation,
and to disturb it in the midst of its enjoyments. This evil may
be described in one word - presumption; the natural effect of
the rapid progression of the human mind towards the perfecting
of so many things. This it is which at the present day leads so
many individuals astray, for it has become an almost universal
The causes of the deplorable intensity with which this evil weighs
on society appear to us to be of two kinds....
. . . We will place among the first the feebleness and the inertia
of Governments. It is sufficient to cast a glance on the course
which the Governments followed during the eighteenth century,
to be convinced that not one among them was ignorant of the evil
or of the crisis towards which the social body was tending
France had the misfortune to produce the greatest number of these
men. It is in her midst that religion and all that she holds sacred,
that morality and authority, and all connected with them, have
been attacked with a steady and systematic animosity, and it is
there that the weapon of ridicule has been used with the most
ease and success. Drag through the mud the name of God and the
powers instituted by His divine decrees, and the revolution will
be prepared! Speak of a social contract, and the revolution is
accomplished! The revolution was already completed in the palaces
of Kings, in the drawing-rooms and boudoirs of certain cities,
while among the great mass of the people it was still only in
a state of preparation. The scenes of horror which accompanied
the first phases of the French Revolution prevented the rapid
propagation of its subversive principles beyond the frontiers
of France, and the wars of conquest which succeeded them gave
to the public mind a direction little favourable to revolutionary
principles. Thus the Jacobin propaganda failed entirely to realise
criminal hopes.
Nevertheless the revolutionary seed had penetrated into every
country and spread more or less. It was greatly developed under
the régime of the military despotism of Bonaparte.
His conquests displaced a number of laws, institutions, and customs;
broke through bonds sacred among all nations, strong enough to
resist time itself; which is more than can be said of certain
benefits conferred by these innovators. From these perturbations
it followed that the revolutionary spirit could in Germany, Italy,
and later on in Spain, easily hide itself under the veil of patriotism
We are convinced that society can no longer be saved without strong
and vigorous resolutions on the part of the Governments still
free in their opinions and actions. We are also convinced that
this may yet be, if the Governments face the truth, if they free
themselves from all illusion, if they join their ranks and take
their stand on a line of correct, unambiguous, and frankly announced
By this course the monarchs will fulfil the duties imposed upon
them by Him who, by entrusting them with power, has charged them
to watch over the maintenance of justice, and the rights of all,
to avoid the paths of error, and tread firmly in the way of truth.
Placed beyond the passions which agitate society, it is in days
of trial chiefly that they are called upon to despoil realities
of their false appearances, and to show themselves as they are,
fathers invested with the authority belonging by right to the
heads of families, to prove that, in days of mourning, they know
how to be just, wise, and therefore strong, and that they will
not abandon the people whom they ought to govern to be the sport
of factions, to error and its consequences, which must involve
the loss of society. The moment in which we are putting our thoughts
on paper is one of these critical moments. The crisis is great;
it will be decisive according to the part we take or do not take....
Union between the monarchs is the basis of the policy which must
now be followed to save society from total ruin....
The first principle to be followed by the monarchs, united as
they are by the coincidence of their desires and opinions, should
be that of maintaining the stability of political institutions
against the disorganised excitement which has taken possession
of men's minds- the immutability of principles against the madness
of their interpretation; and respect for laws actually in force
against a desire for their destruction....
Let [the Governments] in these troublous times be more than usually
cautious in attempting real ameliorations, not imperatively claimed
by the needs of the moment, to the end that good itself may not
turn against them - which is the case whenever a Government measure
seems to be inspired by fear.
Let them not confound concessions made to parties with the good
they ought to do for their people, in modifying, according to
their recognised needs, such branches of the administration as
require it.
Let them give minute attention to the financial state of their
kingdoms, so that their people may enjoy, by the reduction of
public burdens, the real, not imaginary, benefits of a state of
Let them be just, but strong; beneficent, but strict.
Let them maintain religious principles in all their purity, and
not allow the faith to be attacked and morality interpreted according
to the social contract or the visions of foolish sectarians.
Let them suppress Secret Societies, that gangrene of society.
In short, let the great monarchs strengthen their union, and prove
to the world that if it exists, it is beneficent, and ensures
the political peace of Europe: that it is powerful only for the
maintenance of tranquillity at a time when so many attacks are
directed against it; that the principles which they profess are
paterllal and protective, menacing only the disturbers of public
To every great State determined to survive the storm there still
remain many chances of salvation, and a strong union between the
States on the principles we have announced will overcome the storm

Jeremiah 7-9
King James Version (KJV)
7Â The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2Â Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
3Â Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4Â Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
5Â For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6Â If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7Â Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
8Â Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9Â Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10Â And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11Â Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.
12Â But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13Â And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14Â Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15Â And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16Â Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
17Â Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18Â The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19Â Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20Â Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21Â Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
22Â For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23Â But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
24Â But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25Â Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
26Â Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
27Â Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
28Â But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29Â Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30Â For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31Â And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32Â Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
33Â And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34Â Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
8Â At that time, saith the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
2Â And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3Â And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.
4Â Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5Â Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6Â I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7Â Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.
8Â How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9Â The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?
10Â Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11Â For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
12Â Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.
13Â I will surely consume them, saith the Lord: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14Â Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
15Â We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16Â The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17Â For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
18Â When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19Â Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
20Â The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21Â For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
22Â Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
9Â Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
2Â Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
3Â And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord.
4Â Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
5Â And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6Â Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
7Â Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
8Â Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
9Â Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10Â For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
11Â And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
12Â Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
13Â And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14Â But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
15Â Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16Â I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
17Â Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
18Â And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19Â For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
20Â Yet hear the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.
21Â For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
22Â Speak, Thus saith the Lord, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
23Â Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24Â But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
25Â Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
26Â Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

Woderful food! The quails must taste just divine and that salad looks really refined.
Dear Lisa, What a beautiful meal. The pictures are fabulous...I love the cherry salad. The entire meal looks just beautiful. Blessings dear. Catherine xoReplyDelete
Gosh, I haven't had quail in years. And they're so tasty. The sauce sounds like it's just excellent with them. Really nice dish - thank you.ReplyDelete
That's a lovely meal. I have often put orange slices with fennel in a salad (very Sicilian) but never thought about other fruit. I will definitely be trying some over the summer.ReplyDelete
What a lovely meal. I think the salad is my favorite part. It looks so refreshing and quite delicious.ReplyDelete
Oh Lisa, what a nice meal...I never cooked quail...
Like how you prepared the quail and paired with such a tasty salad with cherries...very summery.
Thanks for such an inspiration and hope you are having a great week :)
Just looking at the pictures makes me so hungry.. :DReplyDelete
What a beautiful meal and I just love the image of the quail. I love cherries and adding them to dinners like this is just delicious. xxReplyDelete
Absolutely fantastic Lisa. Wonderfully inspired recipe. Love the matching of quail with cherries. Bet it tasted delicious!ReplyDelete
This is an amazing menu to highlight seasonal cherries.ReplyDelete
FUN FUN FUN! I'm working with Whole Foods to celebrate cherry fest also and it's been so much fun reading about your recipe choices! It's also made my stomach growl. Profusely.ReplyDelete
I have never eaten quail before but it looks delicious. I still remember those pickled cherries I made from your blog and how delicious they were.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous! Both recipe and the photos!ReplyDelete
wow, this is such a gorgeous meal! great blend of flavors!ReplyDelete
Lisa love this and the photos look wonderful!!ReplyDelete
I've never thought to grill quail. I've always deep fried them so this is a technique that I will deploy next. Your poached cherries in spiced wine sounds marvelous as does the crunchy salad.ReplyDelete
I love the flavours you have put together in this, and with quail too :D
Choc Chip Uru
i've never eaten quail, and i don't expect to do so any time soon, but both the compote and salad are delightful!ReplyDelete
Wow, your quail looks like it came from a fine restaurant! And you salad looks delectable, too!!! You've inspired me to pick up some cherries :)ReplyDelete
I had every intention of getting down to the store yesterday to pick up cherries but time got away from me. My problem is that I love cherries so much, it's hard for me to save them for a dish or dessert. I just want to eat them! As usual, everything looks and sounds delicious! I like the substitution of Zin for the Port- I don't drink it much because it's generally too much of a fruit bomb for my palate but Ill bet it worked really nicely in the dish.ReplyDelete
Delicious! Love cherries too, passionately, especially paired with meats. Alas, the season is almost over here.ReplyDelete
Yum, what a meal! My problem with cherries is that I tend to eat them all and then don't have any left over to cook with! Plus, I need a cherry pitter :)ReplyDelete
What a beautiful elegant meal. I want to pickle cherries before the season is over. I think that kohlrabi, fennel, cherry salad looks and sounds outstanding. I wish I could find a place that sells quail. Growing up in the middle of Kansas in a family of hunters, we always had it.ReplyDelete
That looks amazing.
The name sounds like something you would find in an extremely fancy restaurant.
Wonderful cherry recipes! I love the quail dish...on the road back from Grand Canyon and dreaming of getting back into my kitchen...ReplyDelete

San Diego Comic Con is a mosh pit of tastemakers. A good showing at Comic Con can generate unstoppable buzz for a project, that can last for months. A weak showing can deal a devastating setback to a creator's dreams.
Here are the projects and creators that we saw gaining buzz at San Diego Comic Con — plus the ones that lost out in Comic-Con's eternal buzz wars.
To clarify, just like last year's article, this isn't a list of stuff we liked or didn't like personally. It's stuff that we sensed excitement — or disappointment — about, among the throngs at Comic Con. We asked as many people as we could what they liked or didn't like, we listened to the crowds, and we sampled opinions on Twitter and elsewhere. Obviously, this is highly subjective, and not at all scientific.
So with that said, here goes...
The buzz winners of SDCC 2011:
Guillermo del Toro
This man owned Comic-Con 2011. It's as simple as that. The director of Pan's Labyrinth and the upcoming Pacific Rim had a horrible back injury, a swollen disc, and he still appeared on a ton of panels. And he was so funny and profane and bursting with love for film-making, you wanted to hand him the keys to the Magic Kingdom, as well as every movie studio. He made the generic Don't Be Afraid of the Dark sound thrilling and new. Talking with Jon Favreau on the film-makers panel, he was full of wisdom about the perils of taking the safe road or the boring-but-lucrative project. And he made Pacific Rim sound like the Kaiju movie of our dreams. The man was in dreadful pain but managed to be insanely generous with his time and his enthusiasm. And his love for dark fantasies was contagious.
Adventure Time
We already loved this Cartoon Network show about Finn and Jake, and their adventures in an often surreal post-apocalyptic fantasy world — but we felt like this past weekend, we could feel the whole of nerddom falling in love with Finn and Jake as well. Part of that was just how well Cartoon Network marketed the show — with the Lady Riainicorn Chinese-style dragon on 5th. Avenue, and the big inflatable Jake the Dog on the show floor, and the line-sitting people with the video-screen backpacks showing the show. Part of that was the incredibly raucous panel, which dominated Room 6A. But a lot of it? Was just word of mouth. Everywhere we went, people were talking about this show and converting new fans and spreading the love of this show. It was in the air. Image via Pizza Party on Tumblr.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Cline is already a beloved geek icon for directing the movie Fanboys, and for getting it into theaters after years of foot-dragging by the Weinsteins. But now his new novel Ready Player One was generating huge buzz at Comic Con. His novel, set in a future where everybody lives in a virtual reality game world, perfectly captures the good side of geek culture. Everybody was lining up to talk to him and play the joust game at his booth. He's already gotten a movie deal for the book, and he's just finished a screenplay for Warner Bros. He was already a geek hero, but now his rep is blowing up.
Adam Beach from Cowboys and Aliens
The most important thing — and the hardest thing — for actors and other personalities to do at Comic Con is to connect with audiences. And this supporting actor from Jon Favreau's alien Western totally pulled it off — while being interviewed on the red carpet for the film's premiere, he revealed that he had an extra "golden ticket" for the film, and gave it to a fan in the audience, whom he personally escorted inside. And Beach's performance in the actual movie stole the show, giving an extra weight and character to a film that otherwise could been a generic action movie with a gimmicky Cowboy twist. Beach came out of nowhere, but he made an impression at Comic Con.
The River
Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) is taking on a huge, weird challenge, trying to create an ongoing television series with the same "found footage" creepiness and naturalism as his famous movie series. And in spite of dozens of other TV shows and movies jockeying for people's attention, Peli's The River got people talking and wondering. Especially when people saw how compelling the pilot is, and how intense the performances are. People were really curious about this show, along with...
Person of Interest
This is a show we heard people arguing about. A lot. Some people felt like it was going to be a generic CSI rip-off, only with Ben from Lost and Mel Gibson's Jesus. But a lot of people were instantly intrigued by the undercurrent of surveillance in this show's set-up. Michael Emerson's trademark "the guy who knows dark secrets" riff turns out, this time around, to be the result of an unimaginably powerful computer, and he sends Jim Caviezel, basically playing Bruce Wayne, to solve crimes that haven't happened yet. People had strong opinions about whether this show was going to rule or not — but one way or another, everyone was talking about it.
Sir Ridley Scott coming back to science fiction should have been a no-brainer, in terms of generating excitement. But when we saw the actual footage from the film, in Hall H, and everybody went breathless, we were sold all over again. This film looked like a mashup of Stargate, 2001 and Scott's own Alien, with a huge focus on space horror as well as the vastness and implacability of space. And Charlize Theron doing naked pushups, and a new source of creepiness in the form of some kind of space goo, sealed the deal. This movie already has our ticket money.
Andrew Garfield (Amazing Spider-Man)
Again, connecting with the fans on a personal level is the most important thing at Comic Con, and Garfield's stunt — asking a question from the audience wearing a Spider-Man costume — completely won everyone over. Any resistance that anyone might have had to the idea of "the dork from The Social Network" playing Peter Parker was gone. You could feel his sincerity — and the fact that the new footage from the film also showed some really nice understated chemistry between Garfield and co-star Emma Stone was also a huge help. Andrew Garfield completely erased any lingering association between Spidey and his predecessor, "the dork from Pleasantville."
Doctor Who
We almost didn't include this one among the winners, because everybody already loved Doctor Who, right? But it doesn't matter — Doctor Who ruled at Comic Con, in a way that it simply didn't when David Tennant came a couple years ago. The sheer amount of Doctor Who cosplay was stunning, rivaling even Star Wars and superheroes. The Comic Con floor was full of Who, thanks to the big TARDIS at the Quantum Mechanix booth and the awesome fake-tattoo sleeves at the BBC America booth. And then there was the actual Hall H panel, which rivaled Twilight both in the raucous screaming and in the lines — check out our photo of the people camped out for Hall H, over twelve hours before the panel started. Also, spin-off show Torchwood had one of the big Ballroom 20 panels that everybody was buzzing about afterwards, too.
Knights of Badassdom
For a movie that nobody had heard of a few weeks ago, this supernatural LARPing comedy sure made a big splash. Of course, it's hard to go wrong with a cast that includes Game of Thrones' Peter Dinklage and Firefly's Summer Glau. But there's also the fact that the first trailer is actually super funny. And the panel was super funny, too. Both journalists and random con-goers wound up mentioning their brief exposure to this film as one of the biggest highlights of the four-day weekend.
The buzz losers of SDCC 2011:
The Lizard (Amazing Spider-Man)
Andrew Garfield may have won over the crowd — but his new arch-nemesis, the villain of the Spider-Man reboot, did not. Let's hope the CG for the Lizard was an early version, because it didn't look that hot — and the character's design was too far from his classic comics version. He didn't have a lizard snout, or the trademark torn labcoat for that matter. He was giant, almost kaiju-sized, rather than the size of a big person. A comment we heard from several attendees: The Lizard looked like Batman's Killer Croc, as drawn by Jim Lee — not like the mutated Dr. Curt Connors. People were not impressed.
Total Recall
We still have a ton of hope for this remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger/Paul Verhoeven classic, especially after talking to director Len Wiseman. But the footage shown at Comic Con looked like a generic action movie rather than a worthy reimagining of the paranoid Philip K. Dick adaptation, and one person tweeted, "I'm getting tired of" the panel halfway through. Plus we didn't really hear people buzzing about this film, in particular, afterwards. Let's just say that Total Recall emerged from Comic Con with people's skepticism about yet another remake still intact.
Snow White and the Huntsman
This is one of the films that didn't have any footage to show at Comic Con, because they hadn't started filming yet — which is a risky strategy in Hall H, a venue that's so focused on showing footage. So this film had to distinguish itself from the 5,000 other Snow White movies currently in production on the strength of its panel — and people we talked to were not impressed. In particular, Twilight's Kristen Stewart failed to convince people that she could be an engaging Snow White, and the suspicion that this film was designed to cash in on Twi-mania was hard to get away from.
There are a bunch of "dark fairy-tale" shows coming on television this fall or spring, and none of them seemed that exciting. But when Grimm screened its pilot, the overall feeling was one of apathy — especially talking to people afterwards. (We'll have a report on the Grimm screening and panel soon.) There were a few moments in the pilot where this "fairytale police procedural" show from the makers of Angel started to show signs of Angel-style wit and warmth. But for the most part, it felt just like a particularly dull cop show. And it's a bad sign that the most exciting person on the panel was the moderator, Anthony Stewart Head — who's not even in the show at all.
The Secret Circle
Sigh. We really want this show about witches to be great and make a huge splash — it's from The Vampire Diaries' Kevin Williamson, and it's co-starring Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' Thomas Dekker. We watched the pilot on Wednesday evening's preview night, and thought it seemed like a fun guilty pleasure. But people were making fun of this show a lot, even people who might have been its core audience. The Secret Circle panel was in Room 6BCF before Person of Interest, and a lot of people were openly mocking this cheesetastic pilot. People on Twitter also described this show as "boring."
The Avengers
Let's be clear — The Avengers has tons of buzz already, and with Captain America beating Harry Potter at the box office, the power of Marvel's greatest super-team is assured. But there was a lot of talk about how Joss Whedon's super-team film would surprise everyone at Comic Con, and... they didn't. Last year, Marvel had Odin's Throne on the floor, and this year... there was sort of a black space with some panels, ostensibly representing the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier. And some people in black spandex, dancing noncommittally to Ke$ha. Chris Evans and Joss Whedon were at the con, but we never saw Evans at the booth. (Update: Someone has a photo of Whedon at the booth.) The concept art posters that came out were cool, to be sure, but there wasn't really an Avengers surprise at Comic Con, and the movie got lost in the frenzy over television shows like Game of Thrones and the aforementioned Doctor Who.
DC Comics
DC Comics put in its biggest showing at Comic Con in years, because the publisher had a huge uphill task — convince a bunch of skeptical fans that its line-wide reboot, coming in September, is a good idea. And DC did a valiant job, but didn't quite bring the conviction that people were looking for. People asked if the new, more realistic take on Superman would do away with the whimsy of things like Krypto the super-dog, and in response the DC people talked about Superman's awkward teen sex moments. Reading the liveblogs over at Newsarama, you get the sense that the DC editors and creators faced a bunch of skeptical crowds and didn't quite mollify them. On the plus side, a costumed protest against the reboot that was supposed to draw 500 people only drew a handful in the end. And DC superstar Grant Morrison generated tons of excitement wherever he went, putting him squarely in the "winner" column. Photo via Newsarama.

COMPETITION: Win £50 Kellogg's Cereal Voucher
In my opinion, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and, this academic year Kellogg's is awarding grants to 1,000 schools in some of the most deprived areas of the country to help them set up or run their existing breakfast club and we want as many schools as possible to apply for these grants.
One in four (29 pc) working parents with children in breakfast clubs would be forced to quit their jobs without them.
Pre-school breakfast clubs have become a 'lifeline' for many British families with almost a quarter (24 pc) of all working households using them so they can drop their primary school children off before school in order to get to work on time.
Working parents who drop their children off at school early can save up to £1,373 a year using pre-school breakfast clubs instead of alternative childcare. Across the UK, this is a potential saving of £26.4 million in childcare costs each week .
Worryingly, the one in 10 parents who don't have access to a breakfast club have had to go to dramatic lengths to balance their job and childcare needs including negotiating flexible working hours (10 pc), taking a pay cut (6 pc), or putting their career on hold (3 pc) to care for their children in the morning.
The ability to send their children to a pre-school breakfast club means that 12 pc of parents can attend university or college to study says the new report from Kellogg's.
Pre-school clubs are a huge support now that childcare costs have increased by 77 pc over the last ten years, with some working parents paying out up to a third of their income on childcare.
For parents on lower incomes 83 pc said breakfast clubs save them money and if they had access to a free breakfast club at their school half (55pc) would use it on a regular basis.
One in four lower earning families said their primary school kids would even have to be left unsupervised for some part of the morning if they couldn't use the breakfast club.
What's more, the study shows that parents who use breakfast clubs can clock up 93.6 additional hours5 of employed work annually. And without breakfast clubs many children would be less likely to eat in the morning, with one in ten (9pc) parents admitting they wouldn't have time to feed them before work.
This corresponds with the findings of a study last year which showed that more than a quarter of teachers (28 pc) had seen an increase in children being sent to school without a breakfast and 52 pc of parents had less money to spend on food.
Kellogg's is awarding grants to 1,000 schools in some of the most deprived areas of the country to help them set up or run their existing breakfast club. This is part of the company's pledge to donate 15 million portions of cereal and snacks to families in food poverty, by the end of 2016.
Kellogg's Breakfast Club grant applications close on 28th March 2014, schools should visit www.giveachildabreakfast.co.uk to apply.
Kellogg's is offering £50 of cereal vouchers to donate to your local school breakfast club, please enter your details in the Rafflecopter below. You MUST leave a comment and subscribe by email (compulsory entries), you can also gain extra entries by tweeting (daily entry), subscribing to other social media channels, etc.
Fancy winning other prizes? Check out my BLOG COMPETITION PAGE!
T&C's: The winner will be picked by Rafflecopter after the closing date on Friday 28th March 2014. Lilinha Angel's World will contact the winners by email or Twitter within 7 days wherever possible and will allow 7 days for a reply. Open to over 18′s and UK only (subject to delivery restrictions).

Ring in Wikipedia's Birthday with New Case Study for 'Create An Article' Project by No, No, No, No, No, YesPosted in: Uncategorized
Since Wikipedia just celebrated its 13th birthday, it seemed appropriate to share this case study for "Create An Article" project, an initiative created for Hebrew Wikipedia by Gideon Amichay's agency No, No, No, No, No, Yes (named after his recent book and TEDx talk).
The project saw No, No, No, No, No, Yes team up with top Israeli journalists, each of whom wrote new Wikipedia articles "in their field of expertise and based on their personal knowledge" and broadcast the process on a channel 2 news program. (Channel 2 is the most viewed TV channel in Israel.) The agency decided that since media people are amongst Wikipedia's biggest users, that this was an appropriate way for them to give back to the popular site. "Create An Article" was a huge success, gaining "2,033,000 viewers in a country of 8 million people." Even more impressively, the "growth rate in the Hebrew Wikipedia viewing pages during the campaign was 9 times higher than the worldwide average, reaching a record of 67.4 million viewing pages." Check out the case study above to learn more about the project, and stick around for credits after the jump. continued…

Citi Field is usually home to the Mets, but yesterday the stadium was filled by over 40,000 Orthodox Jews—who gathered to discuss the dangers of the Internet.
The crowd—entirely male, in accordance with the ultra-Orthodox tradition of separating the sexes—were there to hear about potential problems that can stem from access to pornography and other explicit content on the uncensored web. The New York Times reports:
"Inside the stadium, a dais was set up by the back wall of center field, where rabbis led the packed stadium in evening prayers and offered heated exhortations to avoid the "filth" that can be found on the Internet. English translations of the speeches appeared on a jumbo digital screen, beneath an enormous "Let's Go Mets!" sign...
"Those in attendance were handed fliers that advertised services like a "kosher GPS App" for iPhone and Android phones, which helps users locate synagogues and kosher restaurants."
In an article on the NY Post, Eytan Kobre, a spokesperson for the event, explains that problems with pornography on the internet have "reached epidemic proportions" and as a result are "eating away the fabric of society."
Interestingly, the event was funded by "a rabbinical group, Ichud Hakehillos Letohar Hamachane, that is linked to a software company which sells Internet filtering software to Orthodox Jews", reports the NYT.
The average Mets attendance of recent times has barely scraped 20,000. This protest was a sell-out, filling the 40,000 capacity stadium. In fact, The Verge points out that the organizers even had to rent Arthur Ashe Stadium nearby, which has 20,000 seats, to accommodate extras.
Finally, Kotaku also has an interesting gallery of images from the event if you want to see what it was like. [New York Times, The Verge]

I love the game "Ora et Labora" by Uwe Rosenberg. It is has especially a nice 2 player mechanism.
In 3 and 4 player mode the game ends after a certain number of rounds. Which I like very much.
However in the 2 player variant the game ends, when there is only one building left to built. I find this troublesome. My first problem here is that if both player focus on the production of goods, the game can be very long. Moreover, some of the buildings (yellowish) have to connect to your main building complex. If you have been not careful, it can be costly or impossible to get rid of these building-cards.
I am interested in alternative ending rules. What about stopping after a fixed (how many?) number of turns. Should there be a final settlement phase in the end? What was the intention of the game designer to have a completely different 2 player game termination rule?

PC Gaming in Ultra High Definition explored
Every now and then in the PC gaming segment two rules re-apply; bigger = better and faster = better. PC gamers are the more enthusiast aficionado's and lots of you all start with say a GeForce GTX 760 as bare minimum. Often our reader base is in the Radeon HD 7970 and GTX 770/780 range though. That said, PC gamers want the best in performance and visual quality and set th bar really high. However it has been quiet in the graphics arena, most video cards albeit faster are rather similar and over the past year or so not a lot of new technology has been released.
There is one upcoming trend though, display resolutions are on the rise fast. Most if not all of you guys are at FullHD or something close by now (1920x1080). The high-end community all have been migrating towards 2560x1440 monitors or triple-display solutions. And yeah, then there is that all new HD resolution called UHD, or in short Ultra High Definition. Once we learned about UHD my mind immediately went bazerk, as this we have got to look into PC gaming wise. And then there was that announcement from ASUS back in May 2013, the press release mentioned a PQ321 Monitor with 3840 x 2160 IGZO Display. Bazinga ! That's 4K Ultra HD baby. That announcement was late May 2013 prior to Computex. And to date the availability has been incredibly small. There has been a limited stock available in the USA, but EU allocation is close to NIL and just downright horrible.
The time is near, praise the Lord Hallelujah as we finally have secured a unit. So this article is going to be an introduction into what I consider to be the next big thing in PC Gaming, gaming at UHD 3840 x 2160. I say the next big thing as game companies and software houses have noticed this trend and in the upcoming months we'll be seeing UltraHD texture packs for a handful of games. Yeah, imaging that, gaming at 3840 x 2160 with extremely high texture quality. Not to insert a lame lyric quote here, but god put a smile upon your face.
Today's article is an introduction towards gaming in Ultra High Definition. We'll be looking briefly at the monitor and the stress it will place on graphics cards, we'll setup a SLI and Crossfire configuration, do the little FCAT dance, yeah it's a PC gaming freak-fest.
Now before we begin I like to ask you to do the download this nice .JPG which is the size of 3840 x 2160 pixels. Watch it at 100% in Photoshop and then try to realize how big of a resolution that actually is. Now imaging you graphics cards rendering say 40 to 60 of such images per second. As that's the challenge we are talking about here.
So please do join me, we'll start off with a quick overview of the monitor, then we'll do some regular benchmarking at UHD and then some FCAT results. This article will not be deep in technology, just an easy read and overview of what the new revolution in PC gaming can be.
Oh and 3840x2160 @ 31.5" is big !

Tuberculosis: A highly contagious infection caused by the bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Abbreviated TB. Tubercles (tiny lumps) are a characteristic finding in TB. Diagnosis may be made by skin test, which if positive should will be followed by a chest X-ray to determine the status (active or dormant) of the infection. Tuberculosis is more common in people with immune system problems, such as AIDS, than in the general population. Treatment of active tuberculosis is mandatory by law in the US, and should be available at no cost to the patient through the public health system. It involves a course of antibiotics and vitamins that lasts about six months. It is important to finish the entire treatment, both to prevent reoccurrence and to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis. Most patients with tuberculosis do not need to be quarantined, but it is sometimes necessary.
Although there are millions of new cases of TB each year, not everyone exposed to the bacterium becomes infected nor does everybody infected with it develop clinical symptoms of TB. A genetic region has been discovered to be associated with clinical TB. People with at least one high-risk copy of this genetic region are ten times more likely to develop TB than normal. The genetic region contains a gene, NRAMP1, that is known to be involved in the susceptibility to leprosy, which is caused by a bacterium related to TB.

If you speak multiple languages, you might have multiple personalities. Reporting October 15 in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, psychologists at Hong Kong Polytechnic University found that native Chinese students who were fluent in English appeared more assertive, extraverted and open to new experiences—personality traits often associated with Westerners—when conversing with an interviewer in English as opposed to Cantonese.
The interviewer's ethnicity mattered, too. In either language, observers rated students as more extraverted, assertive, helpful and open to new experiences when speaking to a Caucasian interviewer as compared with when they talked to a Chinese interviewer.
The authors argue that personalities are not fixed. Instead the language a person is speaking—and with whom—can lead individuals to take on the personality traits of the culture associated with that language or person.

Now that summer has drawn to a close and the school year has arrived, many of you will have left the nest for the first time and moved into that staple of college comedy: the dorm. As a recent college graduate and an employee of the front desk of a residence hall for nearly two years, I've asked my coworkers what they would like to tell incoming freshmen about dorm life. If they could give you one piece of advice, this is what they would tell you:
"Force yourself to be social. This is the one time of year when everyone is trying to make friends, so this is the best time to meet as many people as possible. A lot of your friends can be found right on your floor." –Anum K., Fourth Year
The first few weeks of college will be a nebulous period in which everyone is feeling out of their depth. Everyone is overwhelmed, no matter how confident they seem, and the first thing people seek is a friend to help them figure things out. Use this as an exciting opportunity. You will never encounter another situation like this, where hundreds or thousands of people are looking for friends at the same time. Meeting masses of people may be intimidating, especially to you Socially Awkward Penguins out there, but it can be incredibly helpful. Some tips to help you do so:
- "Invest in a fork." –Lixa C., Third Year
This may seem really weird, but it is actually an incredibly useful piece of advice. In my dorm we pilfered forks from the dining hall and bent them in half to use as doorstops. This is especially useful when you live in a long hallway where everyone can see your door and vice versa. It lets people know that you're open to socializing and encourages them to stop in and introduce themselves. You won't be the only one doing this, I promise. I got to know nearly every person on my freshman floor by doing this.
- "If your roommate sucks, MOVE." –Aime A., Fourth Year
There is a time limit on this one. A couple of weeks into the semester, there should be some sort of room-swap event where you can switch with another person. If you walk in and instantly know you and your roommate won't get along, don't force yourself to suffer through an entire year of living with one another. It will eliminate the chance to find a friend and make your daily life stressful. My freshman roommate is my best friend, bar none. You are not doomed to have a crazy roommate. But act quickly; if you miss this event, it is unlikely you will be able to switch easily midway through the year.
- "Use it as a time to get to know everyone while they're in one place."–Erika F., Graduate
This isn't like high school, where you only have a certain amount of time between classes during the day to get to know people. Living in a dorm means that there are people of your age group living five feet away from you. They go to class with you. They eat in the same places. They study in the same places. You could step out of your door at two in the morning and it is likely that there will be someone there. They might not be the ideal candidate, but you have ample time and opportunity to find people who are.
"No studying is ever done in study lounges." –Victor S., Fourth Year
My floor study lounge freshman year was many things. It was the first door you encountered when entering the floor, and a natural meeting spot. It was a safe haven if you grew stir crazy in your room. It was the place where you could pass out after a Thursday night adventure in the frat houses. It was the place where the boisterous, ragtag group of freshmen from my floor stored their trophies from these nights out (including, but not limited to: a wheelchair, an upright piano, a white board, a chair from In-N-Out, the couch from the floor above us, and so on).
It was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a place where you could study.
Even if your floor isn't something out of Animal House like mine was, you are bound to get distracted if you try to study in a lounge. There will always be someone popping their head in, or a group of people playing cards, or any number of things that can break your concentration in an instant. Find alternatives. The dorm we work in has private study rooms that can be rented out for a two-hour period. We also have a massive lecture room where the unspoken law is silence. Coffee shops have free WiFi and caffeine to keep you going. I am the rare breed of person who can actually study in my room without falling asleep, but I usually don't recommend that method to others. If all else fails, there's always the library. Find out what works for you and stick to it.
And if you really want to study in your lounge, I leave you with this advice:
"Buy ear plugs." – Danay I., Fourth Year
Daily Life
- "Don't smoke in the dorm. Because you will get written up. And you will die." – Kyle B., Second Year
College isn't all about studying, nor is it about the massive amounts of partying you'll see in college comedies. In between there are little moments of everyday life as you struggle to adjust to living on your own for the first time in your life. If you're well prepared, it'll be easier on you. If not, here are some tips:
- "Food. Food everywhere." – Eddie A., Third Year
Our dining halls were all-you-can-eat buffets, and were ranked among the best in the nation. They also come with the added bonus of a wide variety of food with little effort required to get it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the cause of the infamous Freshman Fifteen. So maybe instead of helping yourself to that third basket of fries, go for the salad instead. And while pizza every day for a month might sound awesome, your scale doesn't think so and neither will that cute girl who sits next to you in your Intro to Econ class.
- "Get used to having a roommate." – Eric W., Fourth Year
Cohabitation is not easy, no matter how well you get along with your roommate. It's hard to be conscious and considerate of another person's needs while juggling your own obligations and stress. But remember the Golden Rule and don't blast music while your roommate is trying to study or sleep, and don't invite your significant other over and whisper late into the night when they have early class the next day. Yes, it is your room and technically you can do what you want, but it's their room as well and making their life difficult might have repercussions in the form of spiders in your bed. Just saying, they know where you sleep.
- "Don't bother buying new clothes. You'll look like crap in class anyway and so will everyone else." – Danay I., Fourth Year
You might try to look good for the first few weeks of class. But all it takes is one day of sleeping through your alarm and sprinting to class in your Donald Duck PJs for you to stumble upon that magical realization: Nobody Cares. Seriously. As long as the important bits are covered, you could walk into class looking like a complete lunatic and no one will bat an eye. My freshman year, I had a class in a meeting room located in my own building. I used to wake up five minutes before class, toss my hair up in a hair tie, and stroll into class with thirty seconds to spare without changing out of my pajamas. I didn't even put on shoes. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, so hang on to those ratty high school sweatpants until at least a couple of weeks in. That said…
- "Do laundry more than once a semester." – Logan L., Second Year
Laundry can be a pain. It's time consuming, tedious, and the nearest laundry room might be on the other side of the building. When you get there you might find that every single washer is occupied and you'll have to wait even longer to snag the next one. At my college quarters are worth their weight in gold, and usually anyone who asks for them at our desk past noon on a Saturday is out of luck as we don't get a change order on the weekends. With that said, you are a grownup. People might not care what you look like in class, but they'll expect you to practice basic hygiene. This goes for finals week as well. You'd think I wouldn't have to tell people that. You'd be wrong. Make sure you and your clothes are clean (and no, spraying your unmentionables with Febreze won't cut it).
Parting Words
I'll leave you with my own piece of advice. If I could tell incoming freshmen just one thing, it would be this: don't limit your friendly interactions to other students. Make friends with the people who work in your building. The front desk staff. The housekeepers. The dining hall people. The RAs and other residential life staff. There is no downside to this. You'll be more knowledgeable about your building. You might get a favor every now and then. And you'll make their day better by seeing them as something more than some drone there to service you. A lot of the time working in a dorm can seem like a thankless task, and when someone tells us to have a nice day or gives us a genuine "thank you" it can make all the difference. I have met so many wonderful people who work in the dorms, and it doesn't matter whether that relationship manifests itself in free swipes for food or just a smile as I walk down the hall. Become a part of your community. Don't neglect someone just because they play a different role in the dorm life than you.
As with many aspects of college, you'll get out what you put into your dorm experience. I had the time of my life while living in the dorms, but I didn't do that by staying cooped up in my room bent over my textbooks every spare minute of the day, nor by neglecting my schoolwork until I was too stressed to enjoy myself. It's all about striking a balance.
Thanks so much to my coworkers for offering their advice. They are a huge part of what has made my dorm experience so awesome. #sproullifeforlife!

documented by Mario Sorrenti
Spring/Summer 2018 collection
We take the plunge in the warm waters of Mallorca with the emotional, sun-drenched digital campaign shot by Mario Sorrenti for Jil Sander.
Mario Sorrenti has been at the forefront of contemporary fashion photography for the past 25 years, steadily shaping the industry through a notable visual vocabulary, moulding our thoughts on fashion and its capacity to represent identity, sexuality and power. The emotional and innately sensual energy of his pictures can be found once again in the digital campaign shot by Sorrenti for Jil Sander in September 2017 at the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mallorca, Spain. The images have a dreamlike quality, and are a colourful portrait of the joyful spirit of youth, featuring some of the most iconic pieces from the Spring/Summer 18 Collection. The models Jolie and Fisher almost blend with the untamed nature of the island, captured by Mario while rolling in the grass, diving in the warm waters and dancing while the sun is sinking into the golden-tinted sea.
Passionate and pure, Sorrenti's approach to photography serves our inherent desire for beauty, teasing beauty out of the banal while celebrating life with timeless, heartfelt gems.
