Surrender every word, every thought every sound.
Surrender every touch, every smile, every frown.
Surrender all the pain we've endured until now.
Surrender all the hope that I lost you have found.
Surrender yourself to me.
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds,
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds.
Searching until my hands bleed,
This flower don't belong to me.

America’s battle against Japan was a tough battle. Both sides were strong in their efforts to defend themselves, but due to better strategies and stronger, more advanced weaponry, America won. It wasn’t until the bombing at Pear Harbor did America become engrossed with Japan. Many different battles were fought before Japan surrendered to America. America’s militaries banned together and fought not only at Iwo Jima, but in other areas such as the island of Okinawa, the main land of Japan, and the Philippines. With the Navy striking from under water “against merchant shipping and Japan’s lines of communications” they were able to take down and overpower the Japanese navy. The U.S.’s B-29s were “the only very-long-range bombers that saw action in large numbers”, making their overhead combat a success, and finally their ground troops, such as the Army and Marines had tactics that over ran the Japanese’s’. With the dropping of atomic bombs on August 6 at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, “the Soviets entry into the war in the far East, and the disintegration of the Japanese economy are morale” all amounted to Japan surrendering. On September 2, 1945 Japan’s government formally signed the Cairo Declaration, which called for Japan’s unconditional surrender.

Sometimes the best finds come when one isn't looking.
Case in point, Fromaggio's.
After a long and way too hot day out at Epcot, our party decided to retire early and grab dinner closer to M's place. Although this neighbourhood restaurant is a local favourite, I'll confess to not thinking much when we first walked in. Little did I know of how pleased our table would be of the more than fair sized portions, the generosity and quality of the ingredients used, the well balanced taste... and then, the fantastic home made gelato finish. The best I've had in the past two years.
Although only three varieties are available, I was pleased to learn that the resstaurant made efforts to go all out with them (since their focus turned away from cakes that no one orders). Agreeing to the tease of a small sample of banana praline, I was instead greeted with an all too generous mound of fresh banana puree gelato studded with praline walnut halves, drizzled with caramel and fresh whipped cream. (I couldn't have the chocolate wafer that usually accompanies the dessert, surrendering it instead to little T, who gladly munched on it with his large bowl of delicious vanilla soft serve) .
The man (owner?) who gifted me with this glass of frozen dreaminess also stood by our table to see my reaction to the first spoonful... needless to say, we were both pleased.
Incredibly smooth and thick, the airy churned dessert was mildly sweet and tasted of mashed ripe bananas; the contrast of the crunchy nuts and their aromatic essence gave more complextity to the alredy soul satisfying treat; the whole thing only elevated by a semi-viscous drizzle of reduced caramelized sugar syrup. Really simple, incredibly lovely.
It was heartwarming to encounter a neighbourhood restaurant that cared so much about its products... espcially if it's good.
I may have been heard to ask M if we could come back again for more. :P Alas, next time. (Pardon the poor photo quality - I only brought my P&S on this trip, opting for portability and video vs. better short range shots).

Surrender Dorothy Is Throwing A Party!
This lovely classic heavy glass Ice Bucket holds a little better than 3 big trays of icecubes, so the bartender doesn't have to keep nipping back to the kitchen so often.
Her flashy Chrome handle detaches for easy cleaning. She stands 5" Tall and 6" Wide and is in excellent condition.
Clearly someone's been keeping her all nice and new just for you!
Surrender Dorothy. The party never stops around here.
On 2 September 1945, on board USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, the forces of Imperial Japan signed this document to indicate their unconditional surrender to the United States and Allied forces, finally bringing an end to World War II. Japan's emperor had first indicated his intentions of surrender on 15 August, which is celebrated as V-J (Victory-Japan) day.
This document is still on the deck of the Missouri, next to the spot where the signing took place, though the ship is now permanently retired and moored at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, next to the wreck of the Arizona, whose sinking by the Japanese had drawn the US into the war.
During a French counterattack the trench can be occupied once more.
Here I've used the Adrian and the German helmet together with the gas mask.

After the first week of classes were over, my friends and I headed to Virginia Beach. While they were all asleep on the beach, I went and watched Cheap Trick perform at the Verizon Wireless Music Festival. I captured this photo while they were performing "Surrender" for their finishing piece.
