UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Jewels, Hats, and Swords Allowed!

For their last full day in Rehoboth, les UD's will view, from their balcony and at sandlevel, the 29th annual Sandcastle Contest on the beach in front of their apartment:

'More than 800 people are expected to compete on 100 teams during the 29th annual Sandcastle Contest on Saturday at the north end of the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk.
Sculptures can be started after registration, which begins at 8:30 a.m., and must be completed for judging at 3 p.m.
The adult and children's divisions have three categories: sandcastle, animal and free form. The top three entries will receive a prize package.
New this year is "Pirates of Rehoboth Beach," in which props, such as jewels, hats and swords, are allowed.'
