Mysteries at the Museum! An Adventure in Discovery

The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus

Dark, depressing closed spaces in the old Alcatraz prison in San Francisco, California. Reliving the dreams of immigrants coming to America over a hundred years ago in the Ellis Island Museum in New York, New York. These are the kinds of things you can see on Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum. I LOVE it. Why? I suppose it is a bit of the geek inside me -- I love museums because I always feel like I am on a bit of an adventure when I visit one. I feel as though Im discovering something very special and other worldly and this show fits my need for mystery in my otherwise nice but mundane life.

Mysteries at the Museum, which I watch on Satalite Tv, takes you to strange and wonderful exhibits around the U.S. and as a result you can get some awesome ideas of where to travel to and what discoveries you can find in museums around the nation.

My favorite episode so far focused on the tour of the now defunct federal prison Alcatraz on the island of the same name. When the park ranger who was giving the tour, stepped inside one of the tiny cells and outstretched his arms touching both walls on either side easily and truly demonstrating how small and eerie the prison cells were -- I felt chills. Bad boys or not, you had to feel for the prisoners who endured such conditions at Alcatraz back in the day!

Revlon photoready review

So today i wanted to tell you guys about the foundation that i have been using for about the past 2 weeks and it is the Revlon PhotoReady foundation. What i love about this foundation is, it doesn’t smell bad,its very easy to blend, it is not as thick as a Revlon Colorstay, and the best part is the pump. So much more sanitary. Revlon photoready foundation has medium to full coverage. It is definitely build able coverage without looking cakey. It is very light weight when you put it on. But I’m sad to say that, it makes me break out uncontrollably.I really, really want to stay with this product. And I have, despite the problems, but my face just continued to get worse. In the end, I told myself to break up with PhotoReady and move on. So I did. The shimmers on my face aren’t something I really mind (in fact, something I like about the way it transfers onto my skin) but I do think it was this shimmers that clogged my pores. Totally not the one for me!.

A Trip to Washington Park Zoo

Author: Dorsey Velasquez

After watching the current News report I was very careful to set my home security alarm from www.Securitychoice.com/ before leaving home to take the GrandKids to Portland's Washington Park Zoo. It was so much fun watching the little guys excitement as they went to each exhibit. Of course each one was the “Best” one, even though all the one's before were said to be “Best” also.

I had not told them our objective was to view the new baby elephant which had not been out to be viewed until this week. When we walked into the elephant house and they discovered the baby, there was so much excitement I had to remind them to quiet down before they upset Mama elephant. After watching Baby nurse under Mama's front legs, when they had expected it to be under the back legs, they decided they really were in the “know”, and could not wait to get home to tell everyone how much knowledge they now possessed.

After the baby elephant everything else paled in importance, even though there were other babies and they loved feeding the birds from their hands in the Avery. Holding the nectar cups while the nectar feeders ate from them was exciting too, but nothing was as good as seeing a baby elephant nurse.

Annoyed Enough

I have to say something, and I hope you hear me out. People who are seeking attention are really getting on my nerves! And why is that? I DON’T KNOW. There’s a woman on Facebook who keeps posting on her wall about nonsense for others or for me especially. It’s just so annoying with all her boastfulness. I have no problem seeing others post messages, but a TON from the same person and all she talks about is herself and how great she is. Now tell me what person wouldn’t get annoyed with that? If you’re trying to get some attention please don’t do it that way! I’m sure it’s not just me that’s annoyed with her. I won’t write the name of this person because I don’t want her to get embarrassed. But, I hope this person will read this and realize that it’s her I speak about.

I tried to ignore this individual and pretend that she didn’t exist, but I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I have better things to do than to be annoyed by one individual. Get a life woman and keep your boastfulness to yourself.
