A warning right off the bat: this isn’t a fancy eatery for yuppies. But the decor's definitely not the attraction here anyway! This place serves spectacular breakfast dishes at great prices. Some of the most popular offerings on the menu include the great omelets, which are made with your choice of fillings. Get a side of bacon, as well – they fry it up to perfect crispiness. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, and other sweet treats are also well-received. In addition to breakfast, they also offer lunch and dinner service, with excellent burgers and daily specials. Go when the fried catfish is on offer – it’s a favorite.

Don't worry — you don’t need to hire a professional to achieve a quality make-up job at home at Fort Leonard Wood Family Housing, though! You only need a few simple tips to get you started.

Eyelashes provide a bold border to your eyes. And, they draw attention to the colors of your pupils, and make them appear larger. To add more drama, curl your lashes before applying mascara — this increases their volume, and then the mascara will accentuate it.

Light eyeshadow is one of the biggest secrets in the make-up artist’s professional repertoire. Putting a small dab of light shadow on the inside ridge of your eye where the upper and lower lids meet creates a highlight effect that makes the whites of your eyes appear brighter and clearer.

Lastly, keep your eyebrows neatly trimmed. It can really do for your overall look. Cleanly arched eyebrows attract attention to your eyes, and if they’re neat and carefully manicured, they’ll help your eyes pop more than ever!

These movies are all classics in-and-of themselves, and if you love them, then you can read the book, too!

The Wizard of Oz
This classic fantasy film has its origins in L. Frank Baum's series of children's books. Released in 1939, it has become one of the most beloved films of all time because of its wonderful characters, storytelling, and stunning use of Technicolor.

The Maltese Falcon
Taken from a serialized 1930 detective novel, The Maltese Falcon has been adapted for film twice. The more-popular second film, directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart as the iconic detective Sam Spade, is regarded as a true masterpiece of the noir genre.

Jaws
Steven Spielberg essentially invented the summer blockbuster when he took this Peter Benchley novel to the big screen. This terrifying tale of a deadly shark wreaking havoc on a quiet summer resort still terrifies viewers to this day.

The Godfather
Mario Puzo's novel of the Corleone family gave birth to the film classic directed by Francis Ford Coppola. With towering performances by Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall, among others, The Godfather is one of the most glorious films ever created.

The Silence of the Lambs
The chilling thriller starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster is an adaptation of a novel by Thomas Harris. Hopkins' frightening depiction of serial killer Hannibal Lecter is legendary, and helped make this film adaptation a major box office success.
