10/21 Movies, WoW, Recipes.

Recipes @ Bottom:
Breakfast: Bacon Cheddar Whole Wheat Scones.
Dinner: Scallops & Roasted Salad, Roasted Sugar Dumpling Squash.

Last night I watched The Mission. A 'Based on True Story' with Young Jeremy Irons (rawr!), Robert Deniro(sp?), and even Liam Neeson! Great movie. A little tragic, but very moving. Violins & Swords! Glee!

(WoW) Also farmed up my Deviate Hatching in the 17th run (Glee!) Found a Takk Hatching (omg Glee!), and another Razormaw Hatchling (gleeeee!). I can now justify selling the double hatching to buy the one I'm missing. Think I'll leave toons on the nests, to farm up more. Maybe I can make enough to buy other's I'm missing.
Oh, did I mention I got Green Wing Macaw (defias mines)? Can't believe I didn't have it. Third run.

Today, we watched "The Book of Eli" which was fantastic. Really enjoyed it. Go rent it!!

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon.

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug
