Afghan War Diary - Reading guide
The Afghan War Diary (AWD for short) consists of messages from several important US military communications systems. The messaging systems have changed over time; as such reporting standards and message format have changed as well. This reading guide tries to provide some helpful hints on interpretation and understanding of the messages contained in the AWD.
Most of the messages follow a pre-set structure that is designed to make automated processing of the contents easier. It is best to think of the messages in the terms of an overall collective logbook of the Afghan war. The AWD contains the relevant events, occurrences and intelligence experiences of the military, shared among many recipients. The basic idea is that all the messages taken together should provide a full picture of a days important events, intelligence, warnings, and other statistics. Each unit, outpost, convoy, or other military action generates report about relevant daily events. The range of topics is rather wide: Improvised Explosives Devices encountered, offensive operations, taking enemy fire, engagement with possible hostile forces, talking with village elders, numbers of wounded, dead, and detained, kidnappings, broader intelligence information and explicit threat warnings from intercepted radio communications, local informers or the afghan police. It also includes day to day complaints about lack of equipment and supplies.
The description of events in the messages is often rather short and terse. To grasp the reporting style, it is helpful to understand the conditions under which the messages are composed and sent. Often they come from field units who have been under fire or under other stressful conditions all day and see the report-writing as nasty paperwork, that needs to be completed with little apparent benefit to expect. So the reporting is kept to the necessary minimum, with as little type-work as possible. The field units also need to expect questions from higher up or disciplinary measures for events recorded in the messages, so they will tend to gloss over violations of rules of engagement and other problematic behavior; the reports are often detailed when discussing actions or interactions by enemy forces. Once it is in the AWD messages, it is officially part of the record - it is subject to analysis and scrutiny. The truthfulness and completeness especially of descriptions of events must always be carefully considered. Circumstances that completely change the meaning of an reported event may have been omitted.
The reports need to answer the critical questions: Who, When, Where, What, With whom, by what Means and Why. The AWD messages are not addressed to individuals but to groups of recipients that are fulfilling certain functions, such as duty officers in a certain region. The systems where the messages originate perform distribution based on criteria like region, classification level and other information. The goal of distribution is to provide those with access and the need to know, all of the information that relevant to their duties. In practice, this seems to be working imperfectly. The messages contain geo-location information in the forms of latitude-longitude, military grid coordinates and region.
The messages contain a large number of abbreviations that are essential to understanding its contents. When browsing through the messages, underlined abbreviations pop up an little explanation, when the mouse is hovering over it. The meanings and use of some shorthands have changed over time, others are sometimes ambiguous or have several meanings that are used depending on context, region or reporting unit. If you discover the meaning of a so far unresolved acronym or abbreviations, or if you have corrections, please submit them to firstname.lastname@example.com.
An especially helpful reference to names of military units and task-forces and their respective responsibilities can be found at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/enduring-freedom.htm
The site also contains a list of bases, airfields http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/afghanistan.htm Location names are also often shortened to three-character acronyms.
Messages may contain date and time information. Dates are mostly presented in either US numeric form (Year-Month-Day, e.g. 2009-09-04) or various Euro-style shorthands (Day-Month-Year, e.g. 2 Jan 04 or 02-Jan-04 or 2jan04 etc.).
Times are frequently noted with a time-zone identifier behind the time, e.g. "09:32Z". Most common are Z (Zulu Time, aka. UTC time zone), D (Delta Time, aka. UTC + 4 hours) and B (Bravo Time, aka UTC + 2 hours). A full list off time zones can be found here: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/military/
Other times are noted without any time zone identifier at all. The Afghanistan time zone is AFT (UTC + 4:30), which may complicate things further if you are looking up messages based on local time.
Finding messages relating to known events may be complicated by date and time zone shifting; if the event is in the night or early morning, it may cause a report to appear to be be misfiled. It is advisable to always look through messages before and on the proceeding day for any event.

Understanding the structure of the report
- The message starts with a unique ReportKey; it may be used to find messages and also to reference them.
- The next field is DateOccurred; this provides the date and time of the event or message. See Time and Date formats for details on the used formats.
- Type contains typically a broad classification of the type of event, like Friendly Action, Enemy Action, Non-Combat Event. It can be used to filter for messages of a certain type.
- Category further describes what kind of event the message is about. There are a lot of categories, from propaganda, weapons cache finds to various types of combat activities.
- TrackingNumber Is an internal tracking number.
- Title contains the title of the message.
- Summary is the actual description of the event. Usually it contains the bulk of the message content.
- Region contains the broader region of the event.
- AttackOn contains the information who was attacked during an event.
- ComplexAttack is a flag that signifies that an attack was a larger operation that required more planning, coordination and preparation. This is used as a quick filter criterion to detect events that were out of the ordinary in terms of enemy capabilities.
- ReportingUnit, UnitName, TypeOfUnit contains the information on the military unit that authored the report.
- Wounded and death are listed as numeric values, sorted by affiliation. WIA is the abbreviation for Wounded In Action. KIA is the abbreviation for Killed In Action. The numbers are recorded in the fields FriendlyWIA, FriendlyKIA, HostNationWIA, HostNationKIA, CivilianWIA, CivilianKIA, EnemyWIA, EnemyKIA
- Captured enemies are numbered in the field EnemyDetained.
- The location of events are recorded in the fields MGRS (Military Grid Reference System), Latitude, Longitude.
- The next group of fields contains information on the overall military unit, like ISAF Headquarter, that a message originated from or was updated by. Updates frequently occur when an analysis group, like one that investigated an incident or looked into the makeup of an Improvised Explosive Device added its results to a message.
- OriginatorGroup, UpdatedByGroup
- CCIR Commander's Critical Information Requirements
- If an activity that is reported is deemed "significant", this is noted in the field Sigact. Significant activities are analyzed and evaluated by a special group in the command structure.
- Affiliation describes if the event was of friendly or enemy nature.
- DColor controls the display color of the message in the messaging system and map views. Messages relating to enemy activity have the color Red, those relating to friendly activity are colored Blue.
- Classification contains the classification level of the message, e.g. Secret

Meeting with LTC Eid Mohammed, Paktya ANP Techniques Chief to Establish relationship with LTC Eid Mohammed, Techniques chief. Discussion Items: LTC Eid Mohammed was one of the initial ANP officers after the time of the Taliban. He was the director of personnel for Paktya Province and hired over 200 ANP troopers, as well as the District Chiefs of Police. During that time, the Paktya Deputy Chief of Police demanded that he accept bribes for the District Chief appointments; he refused and was fired...sent to be the crime chief for Sayed Karam District.
- While he worked at the Sayed Karam District, LTC Mohammed strengthened his ties supporting the "little man" in the ANP. He made sure they were properly equipped and paid. He was quickly returned to the headquarters in Gardez to assume the position of Techniques Chief.
- LTC Eid Mohammed is the techniques chief for the Paktya ANP. His job includes maintenance and accountability for weapons and vehicles. He maintains a fleet of 106 vehicles and claims to have not lost a single vehicle, weapon, magazine, screws, nails, or even the smallest item since he assumed the job.
- LTC Mohammed said he was concerned about the status of weapons for the ANP. He said he wanted the PRT to understand this was not a request for equipment, just a professional analysis of the next step for him. He said that RPK and RPG weapons, at least one for each checkpoint should be emplaced. He said that particularly for Zurmat and Gerda Serai this was an issue. He said all told for sustaining the ANP in Paktya Province 100 RPK and 100 RPG should be considered.
- LTC Eid Mohammed is well liked by the common ANP trooper for his interest in their welfare. An ethnic Pashtun, he readily identifies with their issues and finds ways to support them. LTC Mohammed is worried
because the ANP troopers in Paktya are disenchanted because the leadership is poor.
- LTC Mohammed said that corruption is undermining the discipline of the ANP troopers. He said that they are no longer interested in their jobs and that their hearts have gone cold. LTC Mohammed said that these days the troopers do not even arrive at work in uniform, but that the ANP Headquarters looks like a Mosque because everyone is dressed like a Mullah. ((COMMENT: This is a sharp contrast with observations made while Gen Matiullah was still at the ANP Headquarters serving as the Deputy CoP for Security)).
- LTC Mohammed said the ANP troopers are undersupported, that even their winter uniforms are being stolen by the logistics officer.
- LTC Mohammed said there are four officers responsible for the corruption and downfall of the ANP in Paktya. The Personnel Chief Sayed Rahman, the Logistics Officer Nur Ali, and the Anti-terrorism Officer Shaeste Gul, and the Provincial Chief of Police General Rahofi.
-- Sayed Rahman is responsible for forging personnel statistics and rosters, in the effort to request pay for imaginary officers while taking money from the real officers.
-- Nur Ali took 1000AFG from each officer in the province, money that was intended for the officers bonus. Nur Ali is stealing winter food and uniforms leaving the soldiers with inadequate support for winter.
-- Shaeste Gul establishes illegal checkpoints and collects illegal tolls around the city of Gardez.
-- Gen Rahofi is the axel of corruption. He makes every effort to openly and blatantly take money from the ANP troopers and the officers. LTC Mohammed said the former Chief of Police Hai Gul would find clever ways to steal money, such as spending money on his car, but Gen Rahofi openly asks for large sums of money without explanation.
- LTC Eid Mohammed said that this summer he was given 90,000 AFG by MOI to pay for maintenance of ANP vehicles to local vendor. When the money arrived at the finance office, LTC Mohammed said the finance officer would not give him the money if he did not sign 70,000 AFG over to Gen Rahofi. LTC Mohammed said this was not possible because he owed 60,000 AFG to vendors. At this point he was threatened by another officer (NFI) and told he would provide 30,000 AFG.
- LTC Mohammed said there is a voucher for 200,000 AFG at the finance office that he cannot claim because General Rahofi is demanding 100,000 for himself. The Finance officer is refusing disbursal until LTC Mohammed agrees to the bribe. When asked LTC Mohammed said it was not possible for him to provide a copy of the paperwork because only the finance officer is priveleged to see the paperwork. LTC Mohammed suspects the finance officer is taking some money for himself. LTC Mohammed refuses to pay the bribe, and so he is not able to get the money. Sinec LTC Mohammed is the officer who approved the vehicle maintenance with the vendors, the vendors see him as the culprit. LTC Mohammed is concerned that the vendors will attack him.
- LTC Mohammed stated that the ANP were boycotting Gen Rahofi's continued presence as Chief of Police. He said that not wearing uniforms was but one example, but they were also not performing their security duties. He said they were not interested in pulling or even reporting IEDs because they don't even receive the 2000 AFG they should each month. He said several officers have come to him to quit and he has convinced them to stay, but even now he says he is not sure how long he can stay because the vendors are all against him. He said he does not enjoy his job and is ashamed to be associated with Rahofi.
LTC MOhammed said security would continue to downspiral. He said that even now General Rahofi was doing nothing to respond to the Kidnapped IOM workers in Zurmat. He said that it was not even being considered to his knowledge. He suggested the PRT contact the Zurmat Chief of Police to get ANP action because General Rahofi's action would likely get the engineers killed.
- LTC Mohammed said that General Rahofi would receive a report on his visit to the PRT and he expected negative action as a result. He said that Gen Rahofi could not afford to fire him, but he was concerned nonetheless. He said he was thankful for PRT support and wanted nothing from the PRT because it was his country and he should be the responsible one. He asked that the PRT not leave him though when he is
knocked to the ground.
Problem Mitigation Before Next Meeting: Contact Col Qadam Gul, Zurmat CoP regarding kidnap of IOM engineers.
Additional Meeting Attendees: Armand Lyons, Maj, USAF / PRT S2
PRT Assessment:
- CF should bolster LTC Eid Mohammed
-- LTC Eid Mohammed is a grass roots, informal leader.
-- LTC Eid Mohammed has strong influence with the ANP and the people.
-- LTC Eid Mohammed's methods are honest with a "salt-of-the-earth" appeal.
- Consideration should be made to provide ANP with RPK and RPG; this is a valid request.
- Gen Rahofi continues blatant corruption and should be removed soonest

Batman as gangster story.
Baturdays: Batman #4, "Blackbeard's Crew and the Yacht Society"
From the deep to the absurd: yes, today's issue is about how Batman and Robin once totally fought some pirates.
Baturdays: Batman #4, "The Case of the Joker's Crime Circus"
The last time we saw the Joker, he had embarked upon a disparate and altogether tawdry set of schemes…
Baturdays: Detective Comics #46, [untitled]
Batman fights off a gang of thieves at a warehouse, a protracted battle distinguished mostly by the fact that this time, the artist actually drew some boxes and not just a sign that said "warehouse."

Question about HP Compaq Presario V2000 Notebook
A blue screen appear on my laptop saying: " a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. if this is first time you've seen this stop error screen restart your computer. if this screen appears again, follow these steps: disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk fragmentation, etc.... i' ve been doing this steps like restart but how can i restart. when i turn off it will appear the screen like: safe mode, safe mode with networking, normally windows etc..... i try everything but it comes back to the original problem. i let it cool down a bit but still the same. please help me my laptop cant open, when i turn it on a blank screen apeears, what can i do or let me know wheather it has been infected.
Posted by mbuti on
This is called the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD), as scary as the name sounds if your laptop isn't ancient you more than likely can save it. depending what you were doing on your pc last, installing a game or whatever, start it in 'safe mode'. it should start up just like a normal computer but with a few changes like anti virus disabled. From here you can unistall whatever you were last doing on the computer, clean it up and try get her running again, the usual stuff, try defrag the computer, right click the drive in my computer>tools>defrag now, theres also other options in there like clean up and error checking both will help. Try and save it yourself, if all this fails your computer fixing person will probly have to wipe your hard drive, in which you will loose all your data and start a fresh laptop.
It would also help to know what you last did on it, on the net? downloading stuff? installing something?

Fluid Overload
Patient is a certified member of
The Information Standard
Reviewed by:
Dr Adrian Bonsall, 09 Jul 2017
Fluid overload means that there is too much fluid in the body. The increased level of fluid results in an excessive volume of fluid flowing around the circulatory system. This can overwork the heart and lead to heart failure.
What are the symptoms?
If the total amount of fluid in the body is raised above normal, this increases the fluid circulating through the arteries and veins. Fluid can settle in the lungs (pulmonary oedema) causing breathlessness. The heart has to work harder to deal with all this fluid and this can result in heart failure. The symptoms of heart failure are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling of the legs and feet.
Read more about the symptoms of fluid overload.
What are the causes?
The heart and kidneys act together to control the fluid content and sodium content in the body. If something goes wrong with this system (for example, heart failure or kidney damage), fluid overload can occur.
Another common cause is treatment with fluids administered through a vein. The fluids may be a mixture of chemicals and sterile water, nutrient solutions or blood. If too much fluid is administered, or the mixture of chemicals is imbalanced (too much sodium, for example) fluid overload can occur.
Learn more about the causes of fluid overload.
How is it diagnosed?
The features of fluid overload are very similar to those of other conditions, and these conditions need to be ruled out. They include lung and heart problems, circulatory disorders, liver disease and thyroid disease.
You will need heart tests, X-rays, blood tests and measurements of your fluid input and output (fluid balance).
What treatment is available?
Treatment of the underlying cause is important. The effects of fluid overload on the lung and heart also need treating. Separate leaflets are available on these topics.
Find out more about the treatment of fluid overload, pulmonary oedema and heart failure.
What is the outlook?
This depends on the cause. If you were fit and well before the problem occurred (for example, if you had too much fluid after a routine operation), you stand a good chance of recovery. If your fluid overload was due to heart or kidney problems, the outlook (prognosis) depends on how easily the underlying condition responds to treatment.

Singed Build Guide by tomususan
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Singed Build
Top Lane
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
First , when I looked at this champion I thought how he can be viable, he is not a tank nor a caster. After some practice I knew that his great tanking abilities, movement speed, ability to put some chaos to the opponent team in teamfights , great farming abilities, make out from him such a great and character to play!
I don't really have a Runes build, because I don't have full rune pages. However, Hp or movement speed Quints, Armor and M res is viable for me.
Here we got 2 options, we may go full tankish, and develop Defense masteries, or if we want to have less problems with mana, and also have more movement speed, we may go with Utility tree.
Choice is yours.
I am starting with a dorian ring, mostly because of variety Most players start with Mana crystal and potions , which is good item for start too. However I like to start more "boosted"
Then I rush ROA, this item provides a lot of health as long with his passive, and ability power. Next are boots, with more movement speed than others we may use our <Q> posion trail more effectively. Rylai goes with nice ap, hp boost and also with Slow passive. <they can't catch us now , can they? >
Next 3 items are much like for balanced Opponent team. Of course if they got more mages u may go with Abyssal Scepter or other MR item. If their team is full of ad carries, go with thornmail.
Skill Sequence
I max Q at first, because of his farming abilities. E goes second because Singed lacks of damage. Heavy slow for catching and escaping is more needed Late game.
I take Ulti whenever I can.
Summoner Spells
Well for Singed I don't see much option here. Ghost is when I have to get out of big trouble, and for more effective chasing, so is flash.
Pros / Cons
Great movement speed
He shines in team fights,
Provides great support, and protection for his teammates
Lack of "hard cc"
Not as beefy as other tanks
Takes some time to get used to
Ah he is perfect farmer. Just let his Q go around the creeps, and watch how much u will earn. If your lane is empty, don't forget to call mia and just go Ahead (Even before your minions) and creep more and faster. If u are pushing tower with nobody on a guard do the same.
This is my first Guide. So please take into consideration that, as well as that English isn't my mother tongue, and my opinions may differ from yours.
Please comment rate, but don't flame.
My Guide isn't very FLASHY but for the time being I am not able to handle Coding to make it prettier.
Thank you for reading it.

Kids and holiday gifts
Holidays can bring many gifts to the children in your family, and sometimes it can seem overwhelming. One idea to keep things under control is to have each child choose one toy to give away which they haven't used over the last year, for each new package that is opened. It gives them the opportunity to give to those less fortunate and also keep the supply of toys down to a manageable level. You can even plan an outing with the kids for the following week to the local shelter or wherever your donations go to keep in the spirit of the holiday!
Keeping your laundry room clean and organized includes cleaning out the inside of your washing machine. At first, that may sound a bit crazy, but mold and mildew can build up, so I like to do it about twice a year. Things you do twice a year can easily be kept track of by doing them each time you change the clocks!
For a front loading machines, directions are given in your instruction booklet. For top loading machine, like I have, follow these simple directions.
I recently read in one of my favorite magazines about an easy way to clean the interior surfaces of my oven without having to use the smelly, heat-producing, high energy wasting self-clean feature. I had to try it first before sharing it and indeed it worked great!!
First clean off any food or crumbs by wiping out the oven. Then combine baking soda and water to make a paste. Spread it on the room temperature surfaces you want to clean and close the door and leave it overnight. Don't turn on the oven at all. In the morning, use damp paper towels or a damp rag to fully wipe out the paste along with the yucky grease and grime! I also understand it is better on the oven itself, as the self-cleaning cycles can wear out your oven far sooner! Let me know if you find this easy and helpful--I sure did.
Holiday gifts
It used to be that every year I had this huge fear that I would receive an unexpected present from someone with whom I had not planned to exchange. Now I simply keep some $10 gifts on hand should this occur. I keep them wrapped in generic paper--suitable for Chanukah or Christmas. I like Starbuck's gift cards, scented candles, or body lotion. It seems to save me at least once each year. Might be worth a thought if you also occasionally have that fear near the holidays. One less thing to worry about, at a time of year when it is always seeming like there are plenty of worries!
Watch and clock overload
Do you have way too many clocks around? Own too many watches? Now is a good time to purge. Donate to a charity or give away to friends or family any you no longer use. In the kitchen I use the time on my oven and microwave, so no need for a kitchen clock. I now use the time feature on my cell phone, and no longer wear a watch. I kept one for sentimental reasons and wear it on occasion, but all those Timex watches can go to the shelter where people may need a watch. Think about paring down your watch and clock collection and see if you agree that we all have more than we need in this department!
Steph has been organizing for over ten years. Her simple tips here can help you get and keep organized and add calm to your life.

Product Description
Does God really hate me?
Why do I feel so worthless?
What if I mess up … again?
Is the God of the Bible really that judgmental?
"I can't believe I could produce something as worthless as you." Words like this from people close to us produce shame, that feeling that we aren't worthy of the air we breathe or the ground beneath our feet. Why do some shame us, and why do we shame others? Where does shame come from?
Shame affects every area of our life and relationships including our relationship with God. In order to cure shame, we have to find its root source, which may be subtly (yet destructively) hidden in commonly accepted teachings of the church that wreak havoc on our God concept and self-image. Damn Shame speaks candidly about these unbiblical theologies and invites us to shift our understanding so we can begin to live as our Father really sees us.

If you love all year round sun, beaches and nightlife, the Canary Islands are where you should head for your summer holiday in 2015. The sun-soaked screen of the West African coast has everything to offer. The best thing about a cruise is you can enjoy everything the Canaries have to offer, without committing to one place for the duration of your trip. You can sit back, relax and enjoy all your cruise package has to offer, just a stone's throw from the shore.
Tenerife is the biggest of the Canary Islands and boasts a huge tourist gathering each and every year. Although it's known as a child friendly, family resort, it's also a nice place to take a cruise to, with its secluded beaches and hillside villages. When the ship docks, stroll into some of the many designer shops which line the port side, or take a speed boat ride to go whale or dolphin watching, which surprisingly is a year round event.
Just off the coast of North Africa, Iberia is the perfect destination for those looking to get away from it all and enjoy some truly beautiful scenery. You can call in at gorgeous metropolitan ports such as Barcelona and capture sights such as the Sagrada Familia cathedral, cram in a little shop or relax in El Corte Inglés department store with a coffee and take in a view of the whole city.
Many cruises offer child friendly services on board in the form on kids clubs and crèches designed to give Mum and Dad a break whilst on holiday. Your little ones can take part in activities such as treasure hunts, pirate adventures and an arts and crafts day, all while in the safety of being on board.
When you aren't sunning it on the deck or enjoying some of the in house entertainment, why not check out some the many celebrity hangouts the Canaries have to offer. Stars like Penelope Cruz and Jenson Button flock to this town for its long, hot summer days and incredible night life.
If you're planning a trip later in the year and have checked out the cruise deals, remember to pack for the weather. The Canaries are beautiful in both summer and winter, but it's best the pack a light jacket just in case you encounter a summer rain shower, even if you spend a lot of your holiday with a cocktail in hand, enjoying the sea views. Enjoy!

I've been on more than my fair share of cruises. I'm actually not certain how many I've been on. More than 100. To be fair, I worked on cruise ships. And yes, some days it actually was work. Really, the amount of time you spend working depends on your job. The first three years I worked quite a bit. I was a youth counselor.
The last two years I spent on ships were as a "Computer Lecturer." I taught computer classes to passengers. I was technically a crew member with "Passenger Status." It was the best of all worlds. It meant that when I wasn't working, I was playing. I got to use the pools and hot tubs, fitness facilities and eat in the dining rooms. I got to play in the ports and explore fantastic new places. Things that normal crew members aren't allowed to do. Also I was able to have a guest sail with me for free nearly every cruise. It was the perfect job. Truly.
Over five years I worked on ten different ships for two different cruise lines. It was life-changing. And eye-opening. So if you're planning a cruise, take advantage of my industry insider experience to help streamline your process.
Cruising has become a huge vacation industry. And by huge, I mean just look at the sheer tonnage afloat these days. Before airplanes, one had to sail across the seas to travel. Inter-continental traveling was a lengthy and difficult affair. One group of my ancestors immigrated from Sweden to the US in 1866. They traveled from Stockholm to Hamburg and then from Hamburg to New York. The journey from Hamburg took nearly nine weeks to complete. The ship had only provisioned for three to four weeks at sea. It was a harrowing journey to say the least. These days you can hop on a plane in New York and be in London in six hours. Current Cruise liners make the journey using massive propulsion systems in five days, laden with enough food to feed their passengers and crew for nearly double that time and stocked with amenities enough to keep even the most finicky traveler happy.

(Image courtesy of Royal Caribbean. I'm only spotlighting the Oasis because she is currently the largest ship afloat.)
The Titanic was said to have been the largest ship afloat in her day, a "modern marvel." Titanic and her sister ship, the Olympic weighed in at 46,328 tons. In 2010, Royal Caribbean line launched their new ship Oasis of the Seas, which is the largest ship built to date. It weighs in at 225,282 tons, more than five times the Titanic!
The Oasis of the Seas boasts living luxury at sea with it's Spa & Fitness center, four pools, ten hot tubs, surf machines, sport courts, mini-golf, zip line, casino, theatres, nightclub, and youth and teen centers. And don't forget the FOOD, FOOD, FOOD. Aside from the traditional dining rooms and buffets there are also cafes and fine-dining restaurants galore.

There are more cruise ships sailing today than ever before and that translates to price drops for passengers. The most expensive suite on Titanic cost around $4500 per person, given inflation, in 2008 that would have been the equivalent of $95,860 USD! Today, depending on the cruise line you sail, you can sail a transatlantic cruise in a luxury suite (but keep in mind, a standard room isn't exactly steerage these days either!) for between $2500-$5000/person or only $500-$1000 for a basic, inside cabin.
With the huge number of cruise ships sailing the seas these days, it is safe to say that just about anyone can find a cruise they will love. To help streamline the confusing process of finding your perfect cruise, let's walk through a few things:
1. Is This Your First Cruise? First-time cruisers could potentially set sail in a bucket and love it. As you go on more cruises you become much pickier. It's just a fact of cruising. So if you've never been and don't know what to expect, I'd recommend sailing a less expensive itinerary/ship to get your sea legs. Also, go on a shorter cruise -- a two or three-day itinerary, just to see if you like it.
2. Luxury Vs Budget Cruise (Is budget a large factor?) If so, stick to larger cruise lines and larger ships. Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian are good bets for finding great deals. But keep in mind, with the larger, budget cruise lines you will have more passengers per square foot than on other lines.
When you book will play a big part in determining the price of your cruise. If you plan your cruise a year in advance you'll be able to ensure you get the room you want and the itinerary you want, but you'll pay full listing price. If you can wait until 60-90 days within sailing, the prices drop, sometimes a drastic 50-70% below list price.
A resource I use to help find cruise deals for friends is vacationstogo.com. Sign up for their newsletter and they'll send you weekly updates on all of the great deals happening at sea. (Again, no sponsorship on their part. And no animals were harmed in the making of this guide.)
Lastly, don't forget to figure in your airfare. If budget is a determining factor, stick to a homeport near you. If you live in Seattle, you can find cruises to Vancouver/Victoria and even Alaska that sail out of your home city. Omit airfare entirely, if possible, to help push your hard-earned cash further. If you have to fly to meet a ship, find a ship that departs from an airline hub city like LA, Miami, Fort Lauderdale or New York. Flights to those places will be immensely less expensive than flying to a small island in the South Pacific to meet a ship.
If flight price isn't really a big deal to you, try flying into San Juan, Puerto Rico or Bridgetown, Barbados to catch a Southern Caribbean cruise. They're my absolute favorite Caribbean cruises. If you're able, spend a few days in the city you're sailing out of before or after your cruise and explore.
If money is no object, try a very small luxury ship or yacht. Seabourn, Crystal and Windstar cruises are all very highly rated small luxury lines. Some of these lines include alcohol in the price of your cruise. FYI: These lines often have strict dress codes.
3. Large Ship vs Small Ship (And Age Group) Size does matter. If you're looking for a cheap, spring break cruise go for a larger ship in a region that is ship-dense (ie: Caribbean or Alaska in the summer). But if you want to go to places a bit off the beaten path, smaller ships are often the only ships that will take you there (because the big ones don't fit into port!)
Large ships offer more stuff. More pools. Ice Skating rinks. Rock Climbing walls. More stuff to do on those days at sea. If you're sailing with children/teens, you want a ship that has a diverse offering of things to do. Disney cruises are ALWAYS a great idea for children, but you will pay a premium to sail with Disney. Other cruise lines offer phenomenal childrens' centers and activity programs to keep your kids occupied and having fun the whole cruise. Generally the larger (and newer) the ship, the better the kids facilities.
Small ships are great for a quieter, more intimate cruise. Less people, less crowding = more relaxation time and less regiment. Smaller ships will offer more traditional cruise activities like quoits and shuffleboard and group games to keep you entertained.
Age Specific Cruise lines cater to specific age groups. Carnival and Royal Caribbean go for the younger crowd. Celebrity and Princess cater best to the 25-50 crowd. Holland America is generally known for retirement cruising. No matter what the age target for the cruise line, every ship will offer something for all age groups.
4. Do Ship Amenities Matter? Some people simply like to spend their vacations reading or sitting by the pool. If this is you, you'll want to ensure you find a ship with a larger passenger to square footage ratio. Less passengers = less crowding = less crowding in ports and easier access to ammenities. Generally you can look to smaller ships on cruise lines like Holland America, Princess or Cunard for great passenger to space ratios. These are your best bet to finding a quiet hideaway.

5. Cruise Length It's up to you, really. For that quick getaway you can find cruises that run 2-3 days. If you've got time on your hands, try an around-the-world itinerary (90-120 days). If seven days isn't enough you can sail two seven-day cruises on the same ship in the same cabin back to back. Personally I like 10-day cruises. In my time working on ships I met several elderly passengers who were full-time cruisers. Basically, instead of going into retirement homes, they lived on ships. Pretty great idea. And fairly cost-effective. For about the same price as a retirement home they received a luxury home with extremely attentive service.
6. Destination & Timing Where you want to go will often limit when you can go. Ships are generally assigned to a specific region for a season, but some can be assigned a region indefinitely. For instance, the Oasis of the Seas is currently dedicated to cruising the Caribbean. It offers several itineraries in the Caribbean. On the other hand, in 2010, the Splendour of the Seas will sail South America, Transatlantic, Europe, Transatlantic and back to South America.
Generally in the winter ships move to warm places; in the summer they sail Alaska, Europe and the Baltic. Spring is the season for Hawaii and Mexico, and in the fall you can find cruises to Canada and New England. When the seasons change, the ships reposition. Repositioning cruises are generally a bit longer and have more sea-days.
Regardless of where or when you cruise, I always recommend cruising a newer ship, or an older ship that has been dry-docked recently (within the last year). Ships are taken out of service every few years and put into dry dock. Dry docks usually mean a ship will be gutted and redone. Sometimes the ships in drydock will have major structural work done – enlargements or complete renovations to certain areas. When dry dock is over, ships return to service good as new, sometimes better.
Located in the Gulf of Nicoya, Tortuga Island is actually comprised of two islands with a combined total landmass of only about one square mile. But despite its small size, Isla La Tortuga is one of Costa Rica's most popular tourist destinations and a great day-trip. We went with Calypso Cruises in a group of nearly four dozen, but there was also another similarly-sized group with a different excursion company further down on the island.
The island is home to a total of 12 residents. They are native Costa Ricans who subsist entirely off renting out beach chairs, jet-skis, snorkels, and other beach- and water-related goods to the flocking tourists. As such you can expect to pay a nice price for everything. They even offer wifi: $15 for 15 minutes. Undoubtedly these islanders make more than the average Costa Rican citizen, but life there is not as perfect as it seems. As one island tico informed me, it is 9 guys and only 3 girls, so "we need more girls...tell more girls to come visit."
The beautiful and nearly unihabited Isla La Tortuga!
The island itself is quite charming. It is comprised of a nice beach area with smooth sand but one end does have a rather a sizable amount of coral chunks and other small rocks mixed in with the sand. There are a couple small wooden structures on the island, one used as a kitchen, another as a bar, and yes of course a final one featuring a pair of restrooms. There is also lots of picnic tables and beach chairs set up in advance, although the beach chairs cost $7-8/hr through the local islanders, not your tour company -- but I'll get back to that shortly. The island is thickly wooded. Supposedly there is a trail you can take that leads through the brush out to a very picturesque area, or so I've been told.
We booked the trip through Calypso Cruises and it just so happens that their office/dock is located literally just a few dozen feet from Pearla del Pacifico, the only hostel/hotel in Puntarenas and hands-down the best hostel in all of Central America!
Calypso Cruises will have an air-conditioned van pick you up early in the morning from a few of the nearby towns -- San Jose, Jaco, Quepos / Manuel Antonio, Monteverde -- and transport you to Puntarenas, where you will be served a traditional Costa Rican breakfast. The CC boat is a two-story 71 ft long catamaran named Manta Raya that is equipped with two giant hammocks stretched between twin hulls and two fresh water pools. The lower deck houses the bar and lounge as well as dual restrooms / changing rooms.
At precisely 9am the ship leaves port and begins the hour-long trek towards Tortuga Island. Along the way you will pass by local fishing boats out on the hunt, have fantastic views of the western coast of Costa Rica, and maybe even glimpse the occasional family of dolphins that will swim alongside the boat during the final stretch before Tortuga Island. They are fast and can be tricky to photograph though. Along the way you will also be served a light snack (most likely pineapple) and have the option of buying alcoholic beverages at the usual inflated tourist rates.
Once disembarking the ship, you will have a couple hours to swim and/or sunbath while the staff prepares lunch. The bartender and booze from the ship is unloaded and set up underneath the trees, so after a brief ten minute or so pause, you can resume killing your liver with booze. For those of you who really like to drink, I recommend smuggling in a little liquor of your own. It is very easy to do and turns what easily could be a $200 on alcohol day down to just $40 or $50.
The warthog and I become fast friends
The first group of snorkelers is also taken out shortly after arriving on the island. The remaining people mingle and drink on the beach, swimming and building sand castles (or at least attempting to). Calypso Cruises provides everyone with a very basic two-piece wooden beach chair, but there are also fancy reclining chairs covered in towels and protected from the sun by umbrellas -- those are the ones that cost $7-8/hr and are rented out by the dozen locals that live on the island.
The lunch is served at the picnic tables under the shade of the trees, in the fresh breeze of the ocean. It consists of wine, a ceviche appetizer, salad, vegetables, and bar-b-qued chicken, and will leave you completely satisfied. Be on the lookout for local wildlife that could come wandering by around feeding time, most notably the wild hogs. They are nice critters, surprisingly tame thanks to all the tourists -- you can even pet them! They feel a little strange, more bristly than I would have thought, kind of like a porcupine.
After lunch the excursions begin. Included free are snorkeling and the banana boat, but extras like jet-skis are available only upon paying a hefty fee to the islanders. The second snorkeling expedition (provided there is enough demand) sets out after lunch, while meanwhile the banana boat is pulled out and the rides begin.
Finally as the afternoon winds down the catamaran is brought back to the shore and slowly the masses re-assemble on the boat decks. Due to the large group of people combined with the large amounts of alcohol consumed and topped off perfectly by the fact there is only two bathrooms on-board, expect bathroom lines to be in the ten to twenty minute range.
Arriving back at the docks, the fun is over. Usually at this point you would take your air-con van back to your city of origin, be it Jaco or Quepos or whatever, but we recommend instead you just walk a couple dozen feet to the east and spend a couple days at the Pearla del Pacifico (view photos). The whole trip, not counting van rides, lasts about eight hours but is definitely worth it -- if you don't mind being surrounded by tourists all day.
Case in point: This nameless individual here on the left kept to himself all eight hours. I don't even know why he shelled out $125 for a ticket in the first place! I kid you not, this guy's earplugs never once left his ears! He had them on at the beach, on the boat, even while the band was playing at lunch! Seriously, WTF!?!? People, this is why I started the HoliDaze, this is why I am trying to convince people to open up their eyes and experience the world! It is people like this that confuse and frustrate me, and I'm sorry if that describes you. Get out and live! See and appreciate the world, before its too late.
Here are some more photos from the drunken cruise back to the pier at Puntarenas. And for videos, check out the HoliDaze YouTube page.

When I told my friend Josh that I had just gotten back from a cruise, he said,
A cruise! I have so many preconceptions of those. Was it filled with old people? Was the food the worst?
Many people I've talked to have the same preconceptions as Josh. And in my experience, these preconceptions of cruising may be based in reality. There were plenty of older adults on our cruise. And my husband described the food as "fancy food, done in a mediocre way." But we didn't take the trip to meet friends, and we found plenty of decent food on the ship, so I can't really complain. (Plus, we are kind of food snobs...there, I admit it.)
Anywhere there's water, there are cruises, so it's relatively easy to get to a cruise ship. If you don't like to fly, you can usually drive to a port. And as a bonus, you can still visit foreign countries without stepping on a plane. Since my husband always flies internationally for work, we didn't want to spend 12 hours flying and then suffer through two days of jet lag. We wanted to spend our vacation relaxing, not getting somewhere.
The price of your cruise includes your room, all food, and most entertainment on board the ship. For us, the cruise cost less than $100 per person per day. We ate steak or fish every night. We saw a comedian and three live dance shows. Someone cleaned our room not once, but twice, every day. Considering the included amenities, it was a steal of a deal. Just be aware that you can also spend a lot once you are on the ship. If you want to gamble, visit the salon, drink alcohol, eat at specialty restaurants or do excursions in port, you will pay extra.
We have never been on such a stress-free vacation. We didn't need to worry about finding parking, or making dinner reservations, or getting lost because we were on a ship. We could sit by the pool, read in the library, watch a movie in the lounge, exercise in the gym or nap in our room, all of which were extremely relaxing (except the gym part, but we only did that once). In each port, there were dozens of companies ready to ferry us around to go snorkeling, zip-lining, sightseeing, ect. Cruise ships -- and most of the ports they visit -- are financially dependent on your tourism dollars, so they will bend over backwards to make sure you have a wonderful time.
If you're interested in booking a cruise, I would recommend searching the big travel websites like Expedia and Travelocity. You can search by cruise length, departure date, departure port, and cruise line.

I recently got back from a trip to Ireland. Before this trip, I had visited Ireland on a cruise. I enjoyed my time so much that I wanted to go back and explore more. I wondered how it would compare to visiting it on a cruise. As a follow up to my last blog post, Hungry for More!, here's a recap of my experiences of cruise vs. land travel.
With only one day to see Dublin on the cruise, we got up earlier and into the city to see the sights. With tour book in hand, we walked the city all day and made sure not to miss anything. On my most recent trip, our first stop was to go back to Dublin.
Walking through the city, I couldn't believe how the streets seemed so familiar and how much we packed into the previous visit. While cruising, we saw all the major attractions and did everything we wanted to do. With this trip, since we had more time in Dublin, we were able to take a longer time in places and enjoy longer lunches and dinners. Overall, I was surprised to realize how much we saw and experienced when in port last time.
Yes, I typically pack a lot of luggage, almost to an embarrassing point. One reason I love cruising is that you unpack once and enjoy waking up in a new place each morning without carting your luggage everywhere. With this in mind for Ireland, I managed to pack less and reduced the number of luggage pieces by one to help in the daily transporting to new hotels.
Although, unpacking and packing took a little bit of time every day, I realized that a part of the experience of traveling in Ireland is the hotels. You can stay in the countryside or city, in a 5-star hotel, quaint bed & breakfast, or even a castle. Driving around, there was an excitement to arriving to our hotel each night to see what it would be like. You could spend the whole day at some of the accommodations that have on-site activities like high tea, horseback riding, and gorgeous gardens to stroll through. Most of the accommodations outside of Dublin include breakfast, and I enjoyed having an Irish breakfast each morning and seeing what the different hotels offered.
In Dublin, we stayed at The Westin Dublin. The lobby was elegant and inviting. There were many nice touches including the jogging station, flavored water in the lobby (a feature that I always enjoy at Westin's), and fresh flowers in the lobby. After walking around all day, it was wonderful to have a comfortable place sleep.Hotel Minella in Clonmel. When we checked in, we were escorted to our room and asked if we wanted any complimentary tea or coffee. We accepted and enjoyed our cappuccinos overlooking the gorgeous view of green scenery from our room.
When on a cruise, I love that I don't have to plan where to eat each night and budget for meals. This is relaxing for me as I'm not reading reviews, studying menus, or looking at prices every night. However, being able to spend more time in Ireland, I decided I had to be more prepared and do research ahead of time.
Reading reviews online before leaving, I found a place in Galway called, "Oscars Seafood Bistro" where the menu changes everyday based on the fresh fish that is bought that morning from the port which is only a few blocks away. The local seafood was amazing and a reason that I love to travel.
Driving on the other side of the road, traveling through the countryside, and meeting locals in small villages where we stopped were truly amazing experiences. We were on our own schedule and didn't have to worry about the ship leaving without us or getting back in time for dinner.
What's better? Visiting a place on a cruise or spending more time on land? In my opinion, it really depends. Cruising to Ireland first, I fell in love, and wanted to go back. This is the ideal situation for me as I got to experience all the fun of cruising while visiting a new place. I enjoyed going back and spending more time there and would go back again either on a cruise or on a land trip.
Travel Tip: When looking for a cruise, consider one that has a great embarkation or disembarkation port. This way, you can spend an extra few days at the beginning or end of your trip to have a little more time in a city that interests you.

Gone with the wind off Lake Erie. (Curtis Compton/AJC photo)
Gone with the wind off Lake Erie. (Curtis Compton/AJC photo)
They won 60 games and reached the Eastern Conference finals, two signal achievements, but in the end the best team in Atlanta Hawks history reminded us it was still an Atlanta Hawks team. In the end, it embarrassed itself.
Go ahead. Make any excuse you want. Injuries? Yes, the Hawks had injuries. But let me remind you that in Game 2, they started four 2015 All-Stars to Cleveland's one, and they lost by 12 points -- at home in the series' biggest game -- after trailing by 20. In the elimination Game 4, they were down to three All-Stars and Cleveland was up to two, and the No. 1 seed was beaten by 30.
The Hawks were 60-22 in the regular season, having gone 10-2 against the teams they'd face in the playoffs. They went 8-8 against those three opponents -- Brooklyn, Washington and Cleveland -- in postseason. The path to the NBA finals couldn't have been any more inviting: Round 1 brought the 44-loss Nets; Round 2 brought the Wizards, against whom the Hawks were 3-1, and not Toronto, against which they'd gone 1-3, and Washington lost its best player for half the series.
Then the Hawks faced Cleveland, which lost Kevin Love in Round 1 and was without Kyrie Irving for half of the Eastern Conference finals. Even before Kyle Korver suffered an ankle injury and the series shifted to Ohio, it was all but done. The Hawks mustered a professional effort in Game 3 -- they lost in overtime after wasting a four-point lead with 1:24 remaining in regulation -- but mailed in Game 4.
You can say that the Hawks, in the end, were outmanned. If so, they were outmanned by what was, in Games 2 and 3, a one-man team. (Yes, the one man was LeBron James.) You can say that the Hawks were unaccustomed to high-level playoff basketball and didn't know how to act, but this was also the first conference final for Irving, Tristan Thompson, Timofey Mozgov, Iman Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova, and they seemed to figure it out.
Make any excuse you want, but here's where I note that, after Game 3 in a tied Round 1 and after Game 2 in a conference final where they'd already lost at home, the Hawks themselves conceded they hadn't played hard enough. (And this was before the 30-point loss in an elimination game.) That cannot happen, but it did, more than once.
As much as I enjoyed watching the Hawks during the regular season, those Hawks were a playoff no-show. If you hadn't known they were the No. 1 seed, you'd never have guessed by how they played. They weren't precise. They were rarely the aggressor. They were lucky to survive Round 2, in which the final four games came down to last-second shots. Come Round 3, they were ready to go home. And so they have.

Get a sneak peek at Anna Camp's wedding style options
Actress Anna Camp is gearing up to marry her "Pitch Perfect" co-star Skylar Astin and you know what that means -- she is neck deep in serious planning mode right about now.
Once she's ready to say "I do," one of the hardest decisions a bride has to make is what style she should choose for her big event. And, of course, that style has to represent the couple and (for most people) fit within a budget.
Anna and her wedding planner, Tessa Brand, sat down with Wedding Paper Divas to create a slew of style options for Anna's table settings and invitations. The actress narrowed them down to her top three picks: Hollywood glam, rustic chic and elegant romance.
Anna told WPD's Amber Harrison that she is leaning toward elegant romance, with blush/pink/peach tones and a very delicate, romantic feel.
"I want it to feel like you are walking into Romeo and Juliet's beautiful fantasy," Anna said. She also wants there to be a lot of ivory and greenery -- with colors that feel nature-friendly, but also very vibrant and lively. You can check out images of her choices in our photo gallery!
In addition to her work in "Pitch Perfect," Anna is best known for roles in "Mad Men," "The Good Wife" and "True Blood."
When it comes to her relationship with Skylar, Anna told Glamour, "He's literally my best friend." They met on the set of "Pitch Perfect" and have been together ever since. "We didn't really have a scene together, but he's just such a fun guy," Anna said. "He's great. He was dating somebody, and I had been through [a divorce] and he was like, "Do you want to go on a date?"
And that is where her fairytale romance began.

Year in Review – Part Three: Plans for 2011Sunday, January 2nd, 2011
Introspective Comics
I want to make at least 104 pages of comics for the next Introspective Comics collection. That means maintaining my current twice a week schedule. As usual, the webcomic will have priority over all of my other projects. If I don't get anything else done this year, I would like to at least accomplish this.
Plunger-Man and the Super Plumbers
The second issue of Super Plumbers in nearly done. I still need to make a cover and half-tone the pages, which I will try to get done this month. I would also like to finish a third and fourth issue this year if possible. I have plans for a big story arc that I want to finish by the end of 2012, and having three issues come out this year is the best way to get there.
Digital Mini-Comics
Not all the comics I make are suited for the web. Either they are too personal for me to make freely available (even though I wouldn't mind my friends seeing them), or they are so sporadically updated that they'd never gain the traction that makes webcomics successful. Plus, I like the idea of having some of my comics be scarce, of not having everything available for free. That's why I sell these comics as mini-comics.
I'll be honest here, selling mini-comics online is kind of a pain. With all of the fees, postage, and time spent going to the post office, I sometimes wish there was a better way to get these mini-comics out there. I've been toying with the idea of selling pdf versions of my mini-comics, but I haven't worked out a good process for doing that.
One thing I want to investigate for 2011 is publishing comics for various mobile platforms. With self-publishing tools like SmashWords, Digital Text Platform, and PubIt, it looks like I can now dip my toes into the waters without spending a ton of money on developing apps. I just need to work out a better way to format my comics for these devices.
Setting up a newsletter has been a personal pipe dream for a long time. Ideally, I'd like to use it to distribute exclusive comics not available on the web. Sometimes I have comic ideas that I wouldn't want to put up on the web, but I wouldn't mind sharing them with my fans. The newsletter would be perfect for that. I just have to figure out how to put it together. Managing a newsletter is a surprisingly tricky business.
Secret Projects
I have ideas for other projects, but I don't want to talk about them just yet. If I talk too much about them, I might not do them.
So those are my plans for 2011. It should be a fun and busy year!

Zubair Kirman's collection for his label Bouniman was as wearable as it can get. The color palette was more subdued even though he used colors that border on the metallic in nature. Silk with circles, square and lines were used to create sheath, shift dresses and tunics for the woman.
The men's collection didn't include as much color as was used for the women. He stayed with white and greys for the men but included graphics patterns into sherwanis and jackets.

El Mercurio reported recently that Hernán Büchi spoke to legislators of the ruling party in Chile and criticized them because they are losing the battle of ideas. Büchi was Finance Minister of Chile in 1985-89, ran for President of Chile and lost in 1989 and after his defeat, he founded the Institute of Liberty and Development to promote in Chile the idea that free markets are the foundation of the pursuit of happiness and prosperity.
He states that in reality, he didn't lose the election because the "socialists" retained for 20 years the policies of Pinochet and Büchi that made Chile the economic star of Latin America. Now, it's the opposite, with the ideas of the "socialist" coalition permeating debate despite the "capitalist" coalition being in power. For example, the government is evaluating the possibility of a tax increase on businesses, accepting the socialist idea that increasing business taxes will combat economic inequality. In reality, businesses are tax collectors, not payers, and it is the customers of businesses, ordinary people, rich and poor alike, who pay.
Büchi urged the ruling coalition to create the wave rather than climbing onto it, and avoid tax increases because that was not part of the published election program. The minority coalition is very powerful in Chile because of the binomial election system, in which each district gets two seats, typically a seat for each of the two largest coalitions, and a coalition can win both seats only by winning two-thirds of the votes. Büchi favors retaining the binomial system, but the government has discussed making changes.

I'm just waiting for our oldest to finish his school day and our long, Easter, holiday weekend officially starts. Tomorrow, we should have trick or treating witches knocking at our door. Last night, the kids and I have added feathers to our Easter Bouquets and as I added a few eggs that were coloured with my favorite technique (naturally dyes, more here)
If you're looking for a very simple Big and Small Sharpie Easter Egg project, this is one for you.
All you need is an egg and a sharpie or permanent marker.
I've drawn on a naturally dyed, hollow eggs but, kids have drawn on the dime-store variety.
That's it! I can imagine using this is many different ways and wanted to send off a wish and inspiration.
I hope you've been able to find many projects for the season here. I rounded them up in one post to make this very simple for you. Did you catch the Emoji Eggs from my Art Studio, here? and have 25+ Handmade Easter Projects.
