Tybee History Series – Part II

Tybee Island Series, Part II
by Reginald Frasier
During the 17th and 18th centuries the island was frequented by pirates who used it to hide from their pursuers. Pirates later used the island's inland waterways for a fresh water source. After the founding of South Carolina in 1670, warfare increased between the English and their pirate allies and the Spanish and their Native American allies.
In 1702, James Moore of South Carolina led an invasion of Spanish Florida with an Indian army and a fleet of pirates. The invasion failed to take the capital of Florida, St. Augustine, but did destroy the Guale and Mocama missionary provinces.
The English Settlements
After another invasion of Spanish Florida by South Carolina in 1704, the Spanish retreated to St. Augustine and Pensacola; the Sea Islands were depopulated, allowing the establishment of new English settlements. The Euchee who remained on Tybee after this depopulation eventually blended with the Yamasee and settled further south, into the sea Islands and middle coastal Georgia area.
The coast of Georgia was occupied by British-allied Indians such as the Yamasee until the Yamasee War of 1715-1717, after which the region was again depopulated, opening up the possibility of a new British colony. In 1724, it was first suggested this British colony be called the "Province of Georgia" in honor of King George II.
The Yamasee War
The Yamasee War (1715–1717) was a conflict between British settlers of colonial South Carolina and various Native American Indian tribes, including the Yamasee, Creek, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Catawba, Apalachee, Apalachicola, Euchee, Savannah River Shawnee, Congaree, Waxhaws, Pee Dee, Cape Fear, Cheraw, and others. Some of the Native American Indian groups played a minor role while others launched attacks throughout South Carolina in an attempt to destroy the colony.
They killed hundreds of colonists and destroyed many settlements. Traders "in the field" were killed throughout the American southeast. Abandoning settled frontiers, people fled northward to Charles Town, where starvation set in as supplies ran low. The survival of the South Carolina colony was in question during 1715 – the tide turned in early 1716 when the Cherokee sided with the colonists against the Creek, their traditional enemy.
The last of South Carolina's major Native American foes withdrew from the conflict in 1717, bringing a fragile peace to the colony.
The Yamasee War was one of the most disruptive and transformational conflicts of colonial America. It was one of the American Indians' most serious challenges to European dominance. For over a year the colony of South Carolina faced the possibility of annihilation. About 7% of South Carolina's white citizenry was killed, making the war bloodier than King Philip's War, which is often cited as North America's bloodiest war involving Native Americans. The geopolitical situation for British, Spanish, and French colonies, as well as the Indian groups of the southeast, was radically altered. The Yamasee War marked the end of the early colonial era of the American South, and its aftermath contributed to the emergence of new Indian confederated nations, such as the Creek and Catawba.
The origins of this war were very complex as the reasons for fighting differed among the many Indian groups who participated, as well as their levels of commitment. Factors included land encroachment by Europeans, trading abuses, the Indian slave trade, the depletion of wildlife, increasing Indian debts in contrast to increasing colonial wealth, and the spread of the rice plantation agriculture. French power in Louisiana also offered an alternative to British trade, and there were long-established Indian links to Spanish Florida, plus Indian groups often vyied for power among themselves.
James Oglethorpe
In 1733 English settlers led by James Oglethorpe settled on Tybee Island before moving to settle eventually in Savannah and points beyond throughout Georgia, which had been established as the last of the original thirteen colonies the year before. When Tybee became depopulated after the English defeated the Spanish and drove them out, it remained virtually uninhabited, except by pirates, until Oglethorpe established the first continuing English settlement there. It has been inhabited ever since.

A 10 -month-old dog reputation Picasso is departing a extremely blue-blooded interval in his life, thanks to an Oregon dog rescue group.
Picasso, a pitbull-terrier mingle, was born with a facial abnormality that stimulates it appear as if his snout is going right while his jaw extends left.
Except for a misaligned upper canine that delves into the gums of the lower jaw, Picasso is healthy, according to Liesl Wilhardt, executive director of Luvable Dog Rescue , set just outside of Eugene.
He can eat sideways, but hes a very chaotic eater, she told HuffPost. Same with water.
Picasso was a part of a litter of five puppies born last year in Porterville, California, by a backyard breeder.
But the breeder was unable to sell Picasso and Pablo, and they were both taken to the Porterville Animal Shelter .
Both puppies were close to being euthanized before Wilhardt found out about them from Shannon Corbit, a volunteer at the shelter.
I asked her if she had any bird-dogs with special necessitates, because I felt we are to be able take some on, Wilhardt told HuffPost. She spoke, Yeah, theres a bird-dog with a facial disfigurement, and I fell in love with his picture.
When Wilhardt found out both Picasso and Pablo were on the shelters euthanasia list, she immediately adopted them.
Awww, one of the following options dogs is kinda goofy-looking. Ha HaPablo and Picasso are VERY sweet and VERY goofy in their own unique modes! We adore these special friends! Picasso has some medical questions we need to work through before the boys will be available for adoptionPlease be patient as we've had hundreds of asks already from interested Adoptors! We want to thank BUZZFEED and Brad Esposito for the incredible tale on Pablo and Picasso !!! #BornThisWay #pitbullcorgi #wonkyface #rescued
That was two weeks ago. Since then, Picassos unique facets have manufactured him a viral sensation.
Luckily, most of his abnormality is cosmetic.
His jaw is fine, the abnormality is in the top part of his nose, she replied. The mouth hinge is not deformed. He can open it normally.
Nevertheless, there are plans to have a tooth removed in the immediate future to remove that upper canine.
Once Picassos tooth is stick, he and Pablo will be put up for adoption as a duo.
They are very appended, she announced. The period bonded is over-used with hounds, but these two have come to rely on one another for the safety convenience and support.
LIGHTS! Camera! ACTION! Picasso is as smart as he is good-looking! We asked him to pose with his paw on the box and he nailed it like a supermodel! Picasso and Pablo are very special dogs- they adore people and love to learnWe had recreation on our little photo-shoot last-place darknes! Thank you Mecca @ simplymeccarr for the amazing photos …!!!! please check out the BUZZFEED story – link in our bio! Thanks, Brad Esposito for the great coverage of this dynamic duo …!!!! More to come !!! #bornthisway #pitbullcorgi #lowrider #wonkyface
Wilhardt responds both hounds are perfect for the purposes of an active house with older kids.
Picasso is outgoing, happy, curious and caring, she remarked. Hes so unaware of how different he is.

WWE Payback seemed destined for two fates — it would go as expected and be the biggest flop of the year, or it would be one of those "diamond in the rough" shows we'd talk about for years to come.
The actual result? Somewhere in between.
Matches that could've been terrible were OK. Matches that could've been OK kind of sucked. The odds-on favorite to become Match of the Year became just another good rematch and wasn't even the Match of the Night. And, of course, John Cena won (LOL), but he and Bray Wyatt also stole the show.
Expectations were quite low for the semi-main event. After all, Wyatt and Cena's first two special-event matches had flickers of potential but usually kind of flamed out. Cena fell just short of becoming the "monster" Wyatt implored him to be (and the one we wanted) at WrestleMania, and Extreme Rules was kind of a mess with a gimmicky finish involving Cena being scared of a little kid. OK matches, but not great.
With the help of Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and The Usos, who actually took over the focus of the match for a few minutes with some great spots, this match found the sweet spot. Harper superplexing an Uso through two tables onto the floor — a move that seemed to protect the recipient more than the aggressor — is the image that will stick in my mind most. That and Cena actually finding a kinda-sorta cool way to win one of these things that didn't involve duct tape. Instead, he hit the AA on Wyatt from a production table onto/though an empty storage container, then dumped a presumably full one on top. Typical sneaky Cena? Yes. But one based in some sort of wrestling logic.
The only problem here? It felt like the same ol', same ol' with Cena winning again, and Wyatt needs to come out on top in this angle. Wyatt needs the rub of overtaking the great, superhuman John Cena to add to his list of evil accomplishments … because who cares about him if he can't back up what he says? Yes, he defeated the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion at the Royal Rumble, but a lot of fans barely remember it … if they do, it was because it added to the "burial" of Daniel Bryan. Cena could recover from losing this war. Wyatt? I'm not entirely sure.
Champ and Wifey's picks: Cena, Cena
Match expectations: *-*1/2
Technical Merit: Having solid workers involved in the periphery enhanced the "wrestling" feel. And Cena and Wyatt have always known how to bring it … they just didn't until Sunday.
Artistic Impression: A great story in a vacuum that loses a bit of luster in the grand scheme of WWE with the finish.
TOTAL SCORE: ***1/2 (Match of the Night)
Meanwhile, the main event felt like a match that tried oh so hard to live up to the hype, but fell just short.
It would've been hard for The Shield and Evolution to follow up their four-star match at Extreme Rules anyway, but Cena and Wyatt actually made it a bit more difficult. On a show that felt far more "extreme" than Extreme Rules last month, the semi-main seemed to take a lot of the best spots. We had Seth Rollins leaping off the stage near the bottom of the
Titantron, but that just felt like his rail dive at Extreme Rules from a flashier takeoff point. We did get a bunch of kendo stick shots, which was cool. But we also had a match that felt like it dragged on FOREVER, and not in a "this match is epic" way. It went nearly 31 minutes — about 27 before any eliminations, even though this was an elimination tag match — and they spent so much time outside the ring beating each other down or setting up spots that it just felt like a brawl that would never end.
Then there's the whole, shall we say, inconsistency of it all.
As soon as the bell rang, all six men paired off and went at it for a few minutes. After that, all of a sudden, it looked like any other six-man tag, with rules and everything! Then everybody went back outside for a day and a half, and when their moms told them to come back home, it was a tornado tag to the finish. It was just … odd … and it really took away from the match. I need logic, people!
Then there was, well, the finish.
Babyfaces standing/wobbling tall at the end to end a show? That's all well and good. Babyfaces standing/wobbling tall after defeating one of the greatest factions in history last month, then SWEEPING an elimination rematch? That makes no sense either. I know this is supposed to be a quick feud, with Batista leaving to go do semi-movie-star things, it's already starting to get a little stale and The Shield needed to come out on top at the end. But 3-0 against a group that averages 10 world titles per man? Though it helps The Shield immensely to go over that strong, it raises a couple questions: What exactly was the point of reforming Evolution? And what was the point of this angle if it was going to be so one-sided?
It's a good thing Payback felt like the end of the line for two major rivalries, because I would probably just skip the rubber match of this one.
Champ and Wifey's picks: Evolution (via swerve), Shield (clean)
Match expectations: ****1/2
Technical Merit: Did they even really wrestle? No. But what they did perform was smooth.
Artistic Impression: Great story if you're a Shield mark. If you want a little epicness to your six-man main-event rivalry, it certainly left a few things to be desired.
It would almost be better to skip the Daniel Bryan + Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon part, but that would do the reader a greater disservice than the aforementioned did by subjecting us to the crap we saw. Nobody cares about Brie … except maybe the fangirls on social media who actually are worried she's gone for good. You know, since she plays such a vital role in Total Divas. Steph has been the company's best heel for a while now, but she reverted back to her naggy, annoying self that wanted me to launch my coffee table through the TV screen. But she was right about one thing.
Daniel Bryan comes off as a selfish champion.
You worked so hard for this title? Yay! Want a cookie? That doesn't mean you can just be world champion if you can't wrestle. You even told the fans last week they deserve an awesome, fighting champion, and you can't wrestle right now. You don't even feel like part of the show anymore, though the injury and bereavement were out of your control. You seem to be a man who respects the past — you know, back when you had to give up the title if you couldn't defend it for 30 days — yet you don't give a timetable for a return and use the fans as an excuse for not obeying, even though you're entitled to a rematch upon your return. Jack Tunney would not have stood for this!
Yet all this wouldn't be a problem if you could do ANYTHING on the mic.
When Daniel Bryan is angry, he can be at least an above-average promo man. Any other time, Bryan looks and sounds like a nervous seventh-grader trying to impress his friends, and he's been at his worst over the past week. It's the inflection. It's the goofy face he makes when he's trying to act cool. It's the fact that he doesn't even say anything in the same area code as profound. It's the fact that his wife, who would be kicked off an adult film set for her lack of acting skills, fights his battles for him.
And this, my friends, is your world champion? He can keep the belts, but we don't have a champion anymore.
SHEAMUS (c) vs. CESARO, United States Championship
Champ and Wifey's picks: Cesaro (DQ), Cesaro
Match expectations: **1/2-***1/2
Technical Merit: A good, solid fight within the confines of a wrestling match. A couple new things, and no glaring mistakes.
Artistic Impression: Champ has to find any way to retain. How all title matches should be.
This set the tone for the night, and it sent the message that this night would be better than expected. Having these men lead off was smart, as was putting them in a match in the first place. The buildup was odd, with it centering around a rejected handshake, but they delivered when it was time. Many complained about the finish, but since WWE opted to go clean, this was the right move. Plus, it's wrestling, people! You can be in total control of a match, but at any time, you can just get caught with your shoulders down and that's it. It missed the double turn that seemed so obvious and desired, but it was fine nonetheless.
The problem going forward is where they'll go with Cesaro, who clearly is failing to tread water with Paul Heyman.
Before Heyman, Cesaro not only could win the U.S. title, but also hold it for months. He could win 30-man battle royals. He could push Cena to the brink and defeat Randy Orton. With Heyman, he seems to lose more often than he wins, and sometimes even Jack Swagger can get the best of him with a well-timed run-in. Heyman's stock is dropping, as well, with only one thing to talk about. I think you know what that is. Pull the trigger, split them up, and give Paul E. a break until Brock Lesnar's ready to come back.
What's better than wrestling? Bonus wrestling! What's better than bonus wrestling? Bonus wrestling with Cody Rhodes and Goldust!
THE BROTHERHOOD vs. RYBAXEL (late addition to the card)
Technical Merit: A little botchy here and there, but decent. Great tag-team wrestling.
Artistic Impression: It advances Cody's losing streak and his rift with Dustin, and it establishes Curtis Axel and Ryback as a halfway-decent pair.
This was the Cody Rhodes story, and he delivered. Except for that moonsault where he slipped and looked like he was about to cripple himself. People want to see Cody face Goldust. Hell, Cody and Goldust want it! They've started to build toward it, though Cody simply telling Dustin he needs a better tag team partner is a different way to go about it, and hopefully they let it happen. And hopefully it'll be at SummerSlam and not some Main Event or Superstars in July. With how they've treated The Brotherhood after losing the tag titles, anything is unfortunately possible.
Champ and Wifey's picks: Rusev udrea, Rusev machka
Match expectations: *1/2
Technical Merit: Good big-man match that cut a quick pace at times.
Artistic Impression: The problem was it was a little quick, and the buildup couldn't make us care.
This was filler, though decent filler. I hoped for the match I received, though it could've gone a couple minutes longer and been even better. The spot where Big E. speared Rusev onto the floor was one you usually see from a couple smaller guys, but not 589 total pounds of mass. They could go again and it would be OK, or they could feed someone else to Rusev. Preferably someone not black, unless the rumored Nation of Domination reboot actually happens.
BAD NEWS BARRETT (c) vs. ROB VAN DAM, Intercontinental Championship
Champ and Wifey's picks: Barrett, Barrett
Match expectations: *3/4-**
Technical Merit: Same old stuff from RVD. It didn't seem choppy or botchy, though I kind of stopped paying attention.
Artistic Impression: Even Barrett couldn't make the story worthwhile.
I'm with Barrett: Rob Van Dam is Old Yeller, had a dog skated by on his past accomplishments, and needs to be put down. He's been wrestling the same match for more than a decade, with the only change being who wins. Either way, his top-rope moves hurt himself more than his opponents, and his "educated feet" are less believable than Brie's acting. He didn't even set up Barrett all that well because we had to have the same old "Rob … Van … Dam" spots. Barrett deserves better, and we deserve better. Give us some good news, and give Bad News an opponent who's worth a damn.
PAIGE (c) vs. ALICIA FOX, Divas Championship
Champ and Wifey's picks: Paige, Paige. Champ finishes 4-for-6, Wifey 5-for-6.
Match Expectations: *1/2-**1/2
Technical Merit: If you like backbreakers and botches, you came to the right place.
Artistic Impression: Alicia is going somewhere with the new character. This match just didn't go with it.
This felt like all their prior matches, only less crisp. Add that to the fact that we finally saw what women's wrestling could be Thursday night, and this contest never had a chance. It didn't have the atmosphere (thank you, Chicago, for that), and it didn't have the usual skill and attention to detail associated with their prior encounters. It failed to click from the outset, and it never recovered.
None of this is helping Paige one bit.
Though well respected by anyone who watched NXT, to anyone else Paige seems like some kid who came in, got lucky and won the title. Casual fans haven't warmed up to her, and after being conditioned to believe women's matches are time to go No. 1, they don't really get a reason to stick around when she's paired with the likes of Tamina or Alicia, who have been relegated to typical Divas punchlines for years. Paige needs help badly. Whether it's with a couple well-placed NXT callups, or simply an angle with Natalya or Emma, who can work well with her and put on a great match (see Paige-Emma at NXT ArRIVAL for an example), it needs to happen quickly, or Paige will be damaged goods at 21.
What did you think of Payback? How did it stack up to NXT Takeover? Where does WWE go from here? Let me know below or on Twitter @jpetrie18.

Ethereal, enchanted woodland wedding inspiration
Good morning all. Today I'm thrilled to share this gem of a styled shoot. I love a bit of whimsy and magic – and this shoot has it in handfuls (of gold fairy dust, that is!). Submitted and styled by Nicola of Eve Lily, the shoot perfectly captures that woodland wonder that makes up a dream-like bohemian wedding (and makes me long for summer again). Also, check it out – chair covers I'm actually in love with! I hope you all enjoy reading as much as I've enjoyed featuring this. I'll hand over to Nicola to tell you all about the concept behind the shoot – and which ideas you can use yourself.
What was the concept behind the shoot?
The concept was very simple for the shoot. I wanted to find a woodland space, make it come alive and show it as an enchanted place where you can dream. Having worked closely with Hothorpe Hall Wedding Venue in Leicestershire, I knew it was the perfect place for the shoot to be located as it is set in just the most beautiful grounds with some amazing woodland space.
I have worked with Nigel for a while now and we knew that we wanted to achieve some fabulous photos of the woodland with the sun shining through the trees and onto our beautiful models to really achieve the enchanted forest look.
Weddings can be influenced by many different styles these days and whilst nature does inspire some, it can be used so much more that it is already.
Was there a story that you followed?
There wasn't so much of a story that we followed, more of a thought process from when I was planning the shoot. I wanted to achieve a bridal shoot using the inspiration of fairy enchanted woodland stories.
My vision was beautiful princess bride in the woods through to a glitter fairy, there were three overall looks throughout the shoot, a soft almost fairy tale look, vintage inspired style and then the glitter fairy towards the end.
Which décor ideas can brides apply to their own wedding?
There are lots of elements that can be used for wedding decoration, from the woodland inspiration with textural influences such as the tree's and the moss used on our table styling, through to the more glamorous finish of the pearl napkin decoration, bronze glass charger plates and luxurious linen.
Using different finishes show that so much can be achieved by being brave with both textures and colours and makes everything stand out in such a romantic way.
I loved using the flowers in a natural style as it fits in with the setting and shows how pretty and natural designs can be, yet still striking in their finished look.
The textures works amazingly well and people shouldn't be afraid to use their senses when planning their wedding style, everyone likes to touch, smell and taste, so why not use that to enhance the look.
What fashion / style ideas can brides apply to their own wedding?
The styling of this shoot is so versatile when it comes to weddings and brides being able to incorporate it into their look. Something as simple as extra detailing when it comes to make up rather than keeping it simple or going for hair that is more in keeping with the theme rather than keeping them separate really would add to the overall theme, wowing their guests.
I love the softness of the make up and hair throughout and then the glitter elements to the make up with the extra styling of the hair towards the end of the shoot, brides could think about adding a little more make up with glitter detail and style there hair slightly differently towards the end of their day which would help them really feel like a princess and add more depth to their style for the day.
What was your personal favourite idea for the shoot?
I loved our final stage of the shoot making the most of the sunlight through the tree's. We used more detailed make up and hair to give a fairy like look, the make up was gold leaf and glitter with stone detail, the hair was thick with texture and the dresses were detailed with sequins and beads whilst using soft snow berries and blossom for the flowers.
The look showed that you can take a style and exaggerate it with detail to achieve more, whilst still looking like a beautiful bride.
What was the most fun to shoot?
We had the best fun when we were attempting to complete the petals and glitter shots. I wanted the petals to be blown from Katia's hands in a way that was enchanting and romantic, and the glitter to look magical against the sunshine and darkness throughout the shoot.
Watching Katia attempt to blow from her hands a few times before we achieved the right look was funny as something that seems so simple is quite the opposite, lots of fun though as when you get the shot, its smiles all round!
The photo shoot was an amazing day at work, having a great team to work with really helped us achieve a beautifully styled shoot which will hopefully inspire couples to push the boundaries when it comes to wedding styling and design.

Fall back, as they say when the clocks change back to regular time (as if time can really be measured). I'm a bit premature here: Daylight Savings Time ends in November. But there is a time change today – the day of the Autumnal Equinox (Friday, September 23), and that stands for something. From here on in, nights will be longer, daylight less prominent. Dark in the morning when I get up. Crisp, cool days (we are still waiting for the infamous PA humidity to release us from its grip until next year), the season of apples and pumpkins, gourds and grapes, harvest and Mabon, leaves starting to fall. And today, rain. Rain started falling this afternoon, a dividing curtain, a demarcation summer-into-fall. Fallout, rain, water, traditionally the sign of emotion, of flow, of depth and penetration. A suitable dark, cloudy accompaniment to the subtle shift of feeling when the sun slips into Libra, its fall or Fall, depending on how you spell it.
I've neglected this blog after its brave beginnings. No more. September has always meant, to me (the ultimate student), a new beginning, a new term. And so it shall be. Focus and refocus. The world is a magical place and I open myself to, allow myself that. Welcome to my new beginning.

Tonight I will share my fear with you. I'm extreme nervous. Why? So sit down comfortably and read.
Some time ago, I register me to one website for models. Yeah, I want to be a plus size model. You know, it is no briliant agency, it's just a page where everyone can register herself like a model and hope that someone notices her. But for the start… good.
And today I got a message. A message from this webside. I shall go to the photo tests for shooting my portfolio. When? On Monday!

The impact of Scotland's new drink drive law is being felt on both sides of the border, with pubs in England and Scotland reacting differently.
The restructured law reduced the legal alcohol limit for drivers in Scotland from 80mg to 50mg.
And concerns have been raised that the move has been so successful in discouraging people from drinking and driving that the services industry has suffered.
A recent Bank of Scotland report described May as a "poor month" for the private sector in Scotland.
The bank's chief economist, Donald Mcrae, suggested the new law, which came into force in December, was at least partly responsible.
Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, said the new law it amounted to "a form of prohibition" which attacked moderate drinking and frightened people into staying away from alcohol altogether.
Mark Collin has been the clubhouse manager at Eyemouth Golf Club for the last 17 months, and says that things are slightly different now that the legal limits have been lowered.
"We have seen a slight change in the way people behave, particularly towards the back end of last year," he said.
"I'm not saying that there is a massive difference, but it's a bit more noticeable, the number of people who just don't touch a drop now."
When it is suggested that the clampdown might mean intensify diversification in the hospitality industry, Mark says that those processes continue.
"We have reacted and made a slight change to how we work. For us, that meant bringing the catering back inhouse.
"That had been contracted out, but we went back to doing it, and we'll be reopening that aspect of the place in May."
Mark added that in terms of cross-border trade, the change in legal limits has led to a change in attitudes rather than in profits.
"Obviously, we have a lot of people coming over from the north of England," he went on, "and although we're only a very short distance from the border, people seem to be very aware of the changes.
"They know that they can be caught on that stretch of road, and are very wary about it."
The new legal levels are strict enough that people have been warned against driving first thing in the morning after a night out, a significant factor in rural areas.
Across the border in Northumberland, David Hearn, licensee of the Meadow House, the last place to buy a pint before crossing into Scotland, feels that the pub business has been affected negatively.
He said that people coming from Scotland to England seemed very aware of the new restrictions, but "a few drivers going the other way seem likely to be caught out."
He added: "The new laws have definitely affected business, and I think that they need to be publicised a wee bit better.
"People need to know these things."

Book Airport Hotels
- Right Click on each picture, choose open link in new tab. This means you can compare prices quickly. [Need help ? Try here]
- Read why I have chose these sites and not others
- Follow the advice on What To Do Next
Airport Hotel Booking Sites
General Hotel Booking Sites With Options
Hotel With Airport Parking Options
Google Search Airport Hotels
Search Google for Airport hotels works well too. After the ads, which I've "torn out" Google gives you a list of airport hotels in your area.
Why These Airport Hotel Sites
These are the main providers of airport hotels. They fall into two types, hotels themselves and booking sites. You can also search Google.
Holiday Extras is a big name in Airport Hotels, Airport Parking and a host of other extras you might need to give you "hassle-free travel". A solid family firm with a good booking system and good support. Do not to mislead by the "I guarantee" the terms and condition exclude any discounts you might find by searching around. See I saved on Airport Parking.
There are several websites that seem different but they all link back to Holiday Extras. So there is little point in using them. Just look for the logo. Airhotels is, despite the different website, part of Holiday Extras.
APH. A family firm with 35 years of experience and several awards. They seem to consentrate on selling a servive, rather than selling their brand. The APH website has some useful extra information for the serious traveller. Such as their review of Electronic Boarding Passes from different airlines.
SkyPark. Airport parking and Airport Hotel Booking site. This company was the winner in my search for the cheapest airport parking.
Booking.Com. A well known hotel booking site with a good reputation. In the search box type "Manchester Airport" or wherever you want to fly from.
Premier Inn. A value hotel chain with a dedicated airport hotel section, which makes finding the hotel easy.
Google Search. Because it is one of the first things I do but you do need to know what you are looking at. The first page is mainly advertising.
Booking an Airport Hotel
What To Do Next
- Fill in the details for your chosen airport and dates on each site. Do Not Click Book Now.
- Open a new tab. If you don't know how click here. Use Google To search for airport hotels where you want to fly from. See if you you can find any new options worth looking at and open them in a new tab, If you don't know how click here. Repeat step 1.
- Choose the best hotel then Review it. How easy is it to get to? Does it have free Parking, A Free Shuttle Bus, is breakfast included? Is it a good hotel?
- Book the hotel that's best for you, not always the cheapest.

A couple of quick items:
First, I took a look at the eBooks Compiler at http://www.ebookscompiler.com because someone asked about it on one of the self-publishing lists. I'm only mentioning it in case anyone is wondering about it. If you're interested in producing eBooks for the popular eReaders, this isn't the application for you. It generates eBooks as executables and is suited for those who want to produce information products to sell from their websites. It doesn't produce Kindle books, nook books, PDFs, or anything else that an eReader can handle.
Second, I haven't said anything about Google's entry into the eBook marketplace because I'm a Canadian publisher. I'm currently not eligible to use Google's store, as a publisher or consumer. I did visit it, though, and left with the impression that it's not user-friendly. I suspect it was rushed out—maybe in the hope that Google would cash in on holiday spending—so I expect it to improve over time. I'm hoping that Smashwords will work out a deal with Google. I'd much prefer to distribute to Google's store through Smashwords than directly. Google isn't known for its customer service. Smashwords will have more clout than me.
If you're selling your books through Google's store, I'd love to hear about your experience so far.

It was inevitable—call it destiny, if you will--that the creative paths of Walt Disney and Salvador Dali would one day cross. Both men were born in the early 1900s, and although they were continents apart, they shared similar upbringings. Both had artistic ambitions and both would eventually become the standard-bearers of their respective mediums: Walt in animation and visual storytelling, Dali in fine art and the surrealist movement.
Their personalities could not have been more different. Dali was the flamboyant eccentric, Walt the more reserved, but no-less driven, filmmaker. Each saw the other as a kindred spirit, though. And what began as a distant mutual admiration, evolved into a creative collaboration and later a lifetime friendship.
In the late 1940s, Dali would come to the Disney Studios to help craft "Destino," a surreal short film intended to push the limits of animation and storytelling. It was not to be, however, What Dali called "a magical exposition of life in the labyrinth of time," Walt called "a simple love story—boy meets girl." It was there the two artists remained at odds. After less than a year's work on the project, "Destino" was shelved. Decades later, the Walt Disney Studios would resurrect the film from more than 150 surviving story sketches by Dali and Disney artist John Hench. The resulting film would be released in 2003 to critical acclaim, winning numerous film festival awards and being nominated for an Academy Award.
The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco is hosting an exhibition about the two friends and showmen. "Disney and Dali: Architects of the Imagination" explores the artistic collaboration between the two men, showcasing not only original works of Dali, but also that of Disney artists Mary Blair, John Hench, Eyvind Earle and Kay Nielsen. Ted Nicolaou is curator of the exhibition. As a filmmaker, Ted has directed a number of horror films including cult favorites "Terrorvision" and "Subspecies." He's also created a number of DVD and Blu-ray bonus documentaries for Walt Disney Home Entertainment, most notably "Dali & Disney: A Date with Destino" which was included on the 2010 Blu-ray release of "Fantasia 2000."
Ted Nicolaou is Tim's guest today in "The Mouse Castle Lounge."

Eric Larson was truly one of the greats of Disney animation. He was one of Walt's Nine Old Men and was best known for animating Figaro in "Pinocchio," Friend Owl in "Bambi" and Peg in "Lady and the Tramp." He also worked on other classics including "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Fantasia," "Cinderella," "Alice in Wonderland," "Peter Pan" and "Sleeping Beauty."
His greatest legacy, however, may be as the teacher and mentor to an entire generation of young animators that joined Disney in the 1970s and '80s. He had a passion for his art and a commitment to uphold the standards established by Walt Disney. Eric's memoir, "50 Years in the Mouse House," is a fascinating and heartfelt testament to that passion.
His book, however, was almost lost forever, and the story of Didier Ghez's search for the missing manuscript is nearly as compelling as Eric Larson's life itself.
Didier edited Eric Larson's original manuscript and combined it with material taken from interviews Larson gave and lectures he presented at the Walt Disney Studios. Didier adds "50 Years in the Mouse House" to his impressive output of historical Disney works including all 16 volumes of "Walt's People" and his upcoming tribute to Disney concept artists, "They Drew as They Pleased." Didier Ghez is my guest today in "The Mouse Castle Lounge."

Ron Diamond is passionate about animation. He's executive producer of Acme Filmworks, a commercial animation studio that utilizes the talents of gifted filmmakers and animators from both the U.S. and abroad. Ron's pet project, though, is the Animation Show of Shows. For over 16 years, Ron and his show have had one purpose: to bring the best animated short films from around the world to the attention of major animation studios like Disney, Pixar and DreamWorks. It's an opportunity for independent filmmakers, with otherwise limited reach, to have their work seen by respected and influential artists and industry leaders. The Animation Show of Shows has largely been a private enterprise over the years, limited to animation professionals and mostly unseen or heard of by the general public. That's about to change.
Earlier this month, Ron completed a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising over $100,000 to fund the Animation Show of Shows and help it reach an even larger audience. The Animation Show of Shows is now a registered non-profit organization with the long-term goal of being seen by audiences around the world while still honoring its mission to showcase the best work of animators everywhere. Ron Diamond is Tim's guest today in The Mouse Castle Lounge.

After more than 3 weeks in Spain, relaxing and doing some paperwork, I had to leave and continue doing more paperwork in CA. Now I finished all of it and I am on my way to Peru and Bolivia for my last trip before starting working in Tokyo!
This Xmas was really cold in Spain and my home town was covered in snow for many days.
It was also a good opportunity to catch up with friends after a whole year out of my country!
Just before departing for the USA, I had time to visit Ciudad de las Artes y de las Ciencias in Valencia, with my family. It keeps on improving!! Amazing!

Here are some ideas for what you could write about:
The perfect cup of coffee
Something that made you smile
What you love about Christmas
Life lessons learned this year
Having spare time for doing what you love
Watching a good movie
An outfit that makes you feel great
Having someone to talk to
Seeing Christmas lights
Family to spend the holidays with
Food on your table
Someone who inspires you
A movie you're excited about
Receiving a lovely comment
Finding a silver lining
A TV show that brings you comfort
Music that boosts your mood
Something that made you laugh
People who are happy for your success
An opportunity given to you, or one found
What do you think of the idea? Will you be keeping one this Christmas?

Tuesday1 John 3:7-10
Have you ever gotten your Sonic drink mixed up with someone else's? You are anticipating that first delicious sip of Cherry Limeade and instead, you get a mouthful of Diet Coke! Or worse yet, Ocean Water! What a disappointment.
From the outside, it may be hard to tell a Christ-follower from a really good person. Do not be deceived. We bear the DNA of our Heavenly Father. When you look inside a true Christian, you find authentic, deep God-righteousness, not superficial or self-serving counterfeit morality. If you look deeply, what you see is what you get.
Yes, a Christian will continue to sin. But it is not in their new nature to comfortably practice and parade a sinful lifestyle.

How did Zan get to playing in front of thousands at the Ryman Auditorium, home of The Grand Ole Opry? While working as a road comic in the Midwest, Zan won a radio contest and the prize was to open for Chonda Pierce, the Queen of Clean. The "one-minute joke" paid off big and turned into an eighteen month national tour. This Cinderella story took her from comedy clubs and open mics to playing theatres, arenas, and churches all over the country, culminating on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium, home of The Grand Ole Opry, during the taping of "This Ain't Prettyville".
Zan loves to laugh at the crazy things in life - beginning with her own, like growing up in lederhosen (whatever that is), living next door to a mental health clinic, and being baptized in an all-black church - along with lots of little children half her size. "When we laugh, we can find our common ground," she says. Unity through laughter: that's her goal.
Zan holds a Master of Fine Arts in Theater from UCSD. All of her material is clean, autobiographical, and funny! The only complaint that audiences ever have is that they want more Zan!

I didn't realize one of the ingredients is Retin A! I had ordered YL Regenolone Moisturizing Cream on the recommendation of another Young Living Rep, Vicki Opfer, who yearsssss ago said she uses the cream as the final step to top off the already amazing results of YL Raindrop Series. Since I have no needs (Ha! everyone's body is working super hard for them, true or false??!) this is one I keep for "special". Well forget that! This weekend I put it on my knees just because. And oh my goodness impressive!! I put it on my husband's overworked shoulder on one arm and a painful stressed tendon on the other elbow. Instant relief!! And then I opened up my Young Living Virtual Office and added another bottle to my Essential Rewards Autoship!
And with its Retin A, I'm going to use it tonight as my facial intense moisturizer. Perhaps in the morning my face won't hurt to look at….Bazzinga! It's easy to laugh now that it made my knees feel like a kid again!!

Lazarus Colloredo (1617-1646) is perhaps the earliest example of a man who became widely famous as a human freak. Born in Genoa, Italy, Lazarus toured Europe for a decade. He made his living by exhibiting himself to a public that was drawn to see the unusual.
Lazarus Colloredo was a handsome, courteous man. He got married and fathered several children, all of whom were normal. Lazarus also had a parasitic twin named Joannes Baptista, who dangled from his midsection.
Joannes Baptista had only an upper body and a left leg that protruded out of Lazarus. Joannes never spoke; he never opened his mouth or eyes. Lazarus kept him covered up with a cloak when not performing.

You may have noticed a lot more web development shops are using agile methodologies, pushing the edges of the lean startup, and doing a lot more continuous development work. The era of the career killing big website redesign because we haven't done anything to the site for five years is mercilessly coming to a close. We hope. They sure are breaking a lot of tagging though aren't they? There's more entropy for sure. But more shipping means more opportunities for greater build-test-learn cycles. How can analytics teams thrive in a more chaotic environment? What does agile mean for analytics? Join people who are living through their agile journeys for some blunt, honest, talk and takeaways from the trenches.

When Tim and I decided to do cloth diapers, we also chose to start making our own laundry soap to clean them with because we knew we would be doing a lot more laundry. The cost of making your own soap is just a fraction of the cost of buying detergent, and we've found that it works just as well. Soon after we started using our cloth diaper soap recipe, we tried making liquid laundry detergent for the rest of our clothes. So far, so good.
A few of our friends have asked for our tips and recipes, so here they are:
Cloth diaper soap recipe:
1 cup Borax
1 cup Arm & Hammer washing soda
1 cup Oxyclean (original)
Cloth diaper laundering:
-Store soiled diapers in a dry pail (shaking out any solids if necessary)
-Wash every 2 – 3 days
-Run diapers on a rinse cycle on large load setting
-Wash diapers on hot cycle with 1 tablespoon laundry soap
-Add ½ - 1 cup vinegar to the rinse cycle
-Dry diapers
Liquid laundry soap recipe:
4 cups hot water
1 bar Fels Naptha soap (finely grated)
1 cup Arm & Hammer washing soda
½ cup Borax
-Add grated soap to saucepan with 4 cups water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted (will take awhile).
-Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and Borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken (will look kind of like snot).
-OPTIONAL - you can add 10-15 drops of an essential oil per 2 gallons to scent the soap (I've not tried this yet because I'm still trying to figure out what I want our clothes to smell like).
-When you're ready to use the soap, fill a laundry detergent container half with laundry soap and half with water. Shake before each use. Use a half cup to 5/8 cup of soap for each load. Use ½ - 1 cup vinegar in rinse cycle.
Making your own laundry soap sounds like a huge hassle, but it has really not been a big deal. You make such a big batch at a time that it lasts for months. I would recommend it to anyone looking to trim their household budget a little or trying to be a little greener (we use the same laundry detergent container over and over).

Finding the balance28.06.15 Solid event staged by the South Wales League.
It's with the benefit of hindsight that we look back favourably on round two of the Series, because the consensus at the end of day one was one of disappointment.
Slicker organisation on day two, however, along with a decent set of finals to produce an exciting climax, improved the overall feel of the event to something much less worrying than it had been on Saturday. We had built this up to be a sensational event that could have been the best of the year: it didn't quite hit that mark, but the league should feel pleased with their contribution to what we feel could be one of the best years ever for the Series.
One of the overriding memories was how bad the dust was; almost impossible to see the racing from some angles at times, and if you were stood on the finish straight, the clouds blown into spectatorland by the wind were so thick and cloying that it impaired both vision and enjoyment.
The deal was that the Cwmdu Car Club would lend the league their bowsers for the event, if they could be left to make the decision when the water was needed. A fair agreement if the water was correctly applied and in a timely manner, and while we're not saying the results were a disaster, it could have been organised a little more efficiently with better results, especially if the league marshals had been able to request water where they knew it was specifically needed on their corner. We heard several Marshals and officials discussing the issue; all seemingly similarly aggrieved.
The fact that racing didn't finish until shortly before 8pm on Saturday is an indication that proceedings were a little slow, but the lengthy periods of downtime for watering, along with the recovery of broken machinery were punctuated by some excellent racing as you'd expect on this track. With a late finish like that – Stroud was several hours earlier remember – the Marshals and Officials have too little time in which to relax and unwind, the ratio of work to rest too disproportionate, which isn't something you'd expect from this league and, to some extent at least, doesn't make for a very happy meeting at times. Therein lies a point of praise though: while the first day may have dragged a little bit, the point of balance between urgency and nonchalance having been tipped a little too far toward the latter, it's quite refreshing for the most part to be surrounded by people who are relaxed and unstressed, and clearly enjoying being part of the event.
An earlier finish of half past six is indicative that things were rather better on Sunday – that was with a number of reruns and a long hiatus while the fence was repaired because of the incident in the Junior Saloons final, so it could have been considerably earlier.
A turnout of just over 400 cars is perhaps fractionally less than the average attendance since the split, but there were still enough to form a decent number of grids and provide excellent racing. Crucially, the number was small enough to be able to fit into what was unfortunately a smaller pit area than last time, as the league were unable to use the same field as at round four last year, but no matter. Space might have been at a premium, but the situation was still workable.
This kind of track makes the unlimited classes all the more exciting, and there were some truly memorable races both in the heats and in the finals; the Class Seven final in particular was spectacularly good, and Micky B deserves special mention for his brilliant commentary.
Perhaps in the run up to the event we had over-hyped it; predicted that what we'd get would be something virtually faultless, like we know the league are capable of. Instead it was a solid performance; not free of issues, but an enjoyable event nonetheless, and their standing in the Autograss world, along with the beautiful setting, ensures that they will always remain in high regard.
Main: One of the races of the weekend: Jake Roberts and Mathew Dance left Craig Kampschulte behind and starred in a thrilling battle.

Just another day in Uganda: row, row, row your boat!
Posted in Just another day in Uganda, tagged lake victoria, rowing, sport, Uganda on May 8, 2011| 1 Comment »
It was a great surprise to drive up to 'Miami beach' Luzira, on lake victoria on the outskirts of kampala and to find a dedicated group of amateur rowers. Led by a dynamic young coach with ambitions of taking a team to the all africa games. They have donated rowing boats, some with 'reading rowing club' isignia, tightly stored into a shipping container. It was a colourful sight to see lots of young and middle aged guys and girls too, messing about with boats. And I am talking about Black Ugandanshere……….what a breath of fresh air from the mundane premier league soccer.

We were going through our image files the other day, and realized we had a slew of super-tight close-ups of celebrities' faces, mostly from the Academy Awards. They were fantastic for analyzing our favorite eye makeup looks, but as we were about to archive them, we realized what we also had was a load of super tight shots of celebrity eyebrows.
Since the predominant hairstyle at the Oscars is the up-do (boring, boring, boring), those photos afforded us a fairly unobscured view of everyone's brows – and because the images are so tight, you can really see how well groomed, plucked, penciled, gelled, brushed, waxed – or not – they are.
So, it's all brows. And since we have a bunch, we thought we'd divide them up by "weight class." This week, we'll be talking "thin" (or flyweight? Lightweight?)
Yes, full brows are all the rage, but some faces aren't necessarily made for a heavy brow, some people aren't able to grow a full brow, and some simply don't like them.
No one here has veered into Pamela Anderson territory (a quick Google search will show you that these aren't even her thinnest brows; we have to also admit a certain amount of guilt for this image. We were actually tempted to use an older photo of her, but this one is 3 years old, and anything more recent is without makeup and even more unflattering).
But you will note the predominance of blondes, which makes sense. When we get to Part 3: Full Brows, the post will be dominated by brunettes.
Everyone (or rather, everyone's makeup artist) has done a wonderful job of making the most of their fine brows, whether they're that way by design or nature.
The first brunette – who became a redhead for the Academy Awards and may well be a brunette once again – is Berenice Bejo from Best Picture Winner, "The Artist." Were she to use our BrowPro product, she'd be a Thin Brown, which has a bit of warm pigment that would work well with her haircolor. Her brows have a beautiful proportion and arch, and just needed to be filled and set.
Cameron Diaz, who came to the Oscars with her new platinum bob, could have used a bit more work in the brow department. They've been very lightly penciled in from the inner corner to the arch but then just sort of fade out. Her brows seem to naturally grow down and do not extend much beyond the arch, and with such black eyeliner and mascara, she needed a stronger, longer brow. Had her makeup artist used BrowPro in Thin Light after brushing her brows up and out with a clean spooley, it would have filled, extended, set, and fixed her brows in one step.
Kate Hudson's makeup artist definitely spent time filling and grooming her brows, but her brows are similar to Cameron Diaz's – they start late and end too soon, and seem to grow a bit downward as well. Kate's MUA made more effort to combat this, and her brows are definitely a prominent part of her whole look (her eye makeup is truly gorgeous); the color used to fill in her brows is the equivalent of BrowPro in Thin Light. Wouldn't Cameron have looked better with Kate's brows?
Malin Ackerman's Academy Award makeup was a very ahead-of-the-curve monochromatic hot pink, which is awful to type but beautiful to see. Of course, bright hot pink is EVERYWHERE right now (including the lips of this writer, for the first time in her life), but most of us were not thinking that way in February, now were we? Pink eye makeup is always a bit tricky; do it wrong, and it just looks like an infection (hence the name "pinkeye." Blech.)
Well, yes, moving on.
Malin's makeup was pitch (and tonally) perfect, and her brows darkened quite a bit. She is wearing the equivalent of BrowPro in Thin Brown. Whether that's her preference or her MUA felt it balanced better with her super-lush carbon-black lashes, the whole thing works. It was this makeup look that really inspired a trip to a certain mall retailer-that-shall-not-be-named for an hour of mindless trying on and wiping off of fuchsia lippies.
Michelle Williams has been a constant source of impressive beauty and fashion statements since the day she walked out of the salon with the pixie. She went from "Heath Leger's ex" to "fashion icon" in an instant, and she has yet to make a single misstep. Her brows are perfect – possibly because they are always on display. The proportion, the arch, and the grooming are impeccable. When she changes the color of her hair, she never forgets her makeup and her brows. She's another BrowPro Thin Light, although you can see from the image that her brows need the least help.
Olivia Wilde, who is on a second haircolor change and another haircut since this shot (she's taken her shoulder-grazing bob blonde for a movie role), is the other brunette bookending the "Thin Is In" post. Unlike the blondes preceding her (granted, they may not be completely natural blondes anymore, but they all were probably born blondes), it's obvious that thin brows are a stylistic choice for Olivia. You can tell that they are plucked or waxed, and trimmed. At this thinness, their darkness and density don't require any filling. She could have used a bit of wax or gel to fix them, however, since her brows also grow downward.
BrowPro colors, defines, shapes, and holds the eyebrows in place. Available in three creamy brow-enhancing shades that blend to match most eyebrows:
- Light (for blonde to light brown hair)
- Brown (for medium to dark brown hair)
- Dark (for dark brown to black hair)
In three popular shapes:
- Thin
- Medium
- Full
Why ColorOn BrowPro?
- Superior results – fills in even the sparsest brows, and covers the most resistant gray brows.
- Blended with pure minerals for a rich, multi-toned hue and creamy consistency that will not fade, and is long-lasting, water-proof, and sweat-proof yet gentle to the skin.
- Safe and easy to use, hygienic, functional, portable, and economical.
BrowPro comes with 2 applicators (4 applications), a disposable spooly brush, and Get Set! Setting Powder, and is available as part of the Custom Kits. Just add the BrowPro in your color and shape to your Custom Kit (Medium Brows in Light, Full Brows in Dark, Thin Brows in Brown, etc.), the same way you would choose an Instant Eye Shadow. Now you can create a Custom Kit with brows and eye makeup all in one, for the same price as always. It's a great way to try BrowPro! As always, any color mentioned in the blog can be chosen and combined into a Custom Kit , or you can buy the Variety Kit in which they're featured. Either way, same price.
Need a tutorial? Watch the video on the website for application tips and tricks.
And now, the Winner's Circle. The lucky eVIP to win this week's random drawing for a free 10-application Custom Kit is Lynda Perez of Hollywood, Florida. She'll be watching her mailbox to see what beautiful surprise we send her.

When a tooth reaches a point that it is no longer viable, it is time to remove it. Sure, you've probably seen tons of extractions in movies and on television that make you nervous. The idea of allowing someone to remove a part of your body should make you a little nervous, but you should also be able to overcome those nerves and know that you'll be comfortable during the entire procedure! Your extraction will be completely peaceful!
As soon as you walk into our office, you will feel comfortable! You'll be greeted by our friendly staff and get all of the information you need. When you go back to the patient rooms, you will be greeted by ultra comfortable chairs and a relaxing environment. Our staff will see that you have everything that you need! It doesn't get much better than this!
The Procedure
We handle two types of extractions: surgical and simple. Most extractions will be simple, which means we will numb the area and remove the tooth. For patients who feel anxious about having a tooth extracted, we offer two types of sedation. The first is nitrous oxide gas, laughing gas, that can be inhaled through a simple mask over your nose. If that isn't relaxing enough, we also offer oral sedation, which you can take about an hour before your visit to ensure comfort and relaxation during your procedure. Some patients even fall asleep, they are so relaxed!
Having a tooth removed is necessary for teeth that are too decayed or infected to remain in your mouth. Once it's out, it's time to think about dental restorations! Contact us today to learn more about this procedure. We'd love to help you get the dental care you need without the fear that often comes with it!
