Candyland Party (2-5yr) Lots Of Decoration Details
Karilee in Becker, Minnesota
I decided to have a Candyland birthday party for my son's 5th birthday and my daughter's 2nd birthday (which are a week and a half apart). I had this theme in mind for a year so I was able to pick up a few things here and there when I saw them.
INIVITATIONS: For the invitations I took a picture of our Candyland game board and printed them out and used them on the front of the invitations. I wanted to use these so that everyone, young and old, would see the version of the game that we had and were basing the party off of. In the inside it said : Come and join ____ & ____ in a sweet birthday adventure in Candyland! Meet all of the characters as you make your way through Candyland and help ___ celebrate his 5th birthday and ____ celebrate her 2nd birthday! Below that was the basic party information. I added some candy stickers to the inside and also on the envelopes.
DECORATIONS/ACTIVITIES: The decorations took me months to prepare, but they were all worth the effort. We held this party in our church fellowship hall, so we had a large room that was able to accommodate all of the many decorations. I will describe them by places on the Candyland path. The kids made their way through Candyland guided by me and either played a game or did an activity at each stop along the way. They were given colorful paper lunch bags that had their name on one side and a Candyland sticker on the other. I added handles to bags by punching holes in the top, attaching colorful eyelets, and then stringing bright colors of ribbon through for the handles and knotting them at the ends (I made up a couple of extra bags in case anyone ripped theirs). These were their goody bags that they used to collect their prizes throughout Candyland. I made the path that lead through Candyland from a large box of colored construction paper and taped the ends to the floor with clear packing tape. I pre-sorted the paper in the color pattern from the board game to save time on the day of the party. I also made all of the specially marked spaces from the board indicating the place and the three licorice spaces. The path was cleary marked with cardboard arrow signs (we used pvc pipe and wooden bases to make them free standing). Each sign said the place, which was made using a Cricut machine (scrapbooking die cut machine) and was labled and decorated on each side. When the kids first arrived they were able to either watch the Candyland movie I had playing on a small T.V. or they could color in their personalized Candyland coloring/activity book I made them until everyone arrived at the party. I made the coloring books by making copies out of a coloring and activity book I had found. I made there were four sheets (2 to a page) of activities for each place & character from Candyland. Then I made covers out of different colored cardstock with Candyland Coloring & Activity BookThanks for coming to _______ birthday party! On the front.
GINGERBREAD TREE: The sign for the Gingerbread Tree I left the cardboard brown and painted light purple frosting accents. I made the Gingerbread Tree using larges pieces of carboard and painting the details. I also added gingerbread men to the leaf area of the tree that I had from a game I made for my son during the Christmas season. Next to the Gingerbread Tree was a gingerbread boy I had made from another large piece of cardboard. I painted some of his features on, used gumdrops for buttons, and added a lollipop to his hand. At the base of the Gingerbread Tree I placed three large stuffed gingerbread men that my mom had made for one of my sister's Christmas decorations. On each side of the tree I placed a cluster of green and purple balloons. I used gingerbread ornaments for balloon weights. At this station I placed a round table covered with a bright green table cloth. In the middle of the table was a gingerbread house my mom made. At this table the kids got to decorate their own gingerbread man cookie. At each spot I placed a cookie, a snack size bag filled with frosting (I used clear packing tape to seal the tops so no frosting exploded from it) which I snipped off one corner of the bag to make their own frostings bags, a colorful stripped cupcake liner filled with an assortment of candies (divided equally among all of the cups for fairness), and a plastic knife. Around the table were also small tubes of colored icing, sprinkles, and food scissors to trim any candy (like licorice). When they were done we placed a label (which I pre-made with their names and a gumdrop stamp) and covered them with plastic wrap.
PEPPERMINT FOREST: The sign pointing to Peppermint Forest was bright red with white lettering and had cute little swirly candy canes hot glued to it. I used a small artificial Christmas tree and four other slightly smaller fake fir trees that I use for decoration in my house to create the forest. Each tree was decorated with wooden candy cane bead garland, candy canes, and candy cane ornaments. The Candyland path ran through the forest where trees were placed on either side. Underneath the trees and around Peppermint Forest I laid down Buffalo Snow (which is a cotton like fake snow). Sprinkled throughout the snow were wrapped peppermint candies. Hanging above the forest were large sparkly candy canes. I also used large pvc type candy canes and large plastic swirled candy canes (found after Christmas at Wal-Mart, etc.) and had my husband cut little squares from some leftover white wooden shelving to make them each stand on their own. These were placed throughout the forest. The game at Peppermint Forest used on the stand from an outdoor game my husband made from pvc pipe (known as polish golf, golf ball toss, etc.). I used red electrical tape to make the white pvc pipes into candy canes. Instead of the golf balls on the strings we used these knitted candy canes that had a thick wire inside that kept their shape and were attached on a long red piece of thick yarn. I found these at a garage sale and they were meant to be a garland, but I cut them into pairs to use for the game. They worked great twirling around the rungs of the game and were soft so they didn't cause any damage indoors. After the game they received a red and white swirled drinking straw from Mr. Mint (I'll explain the characters later).
GUMDROP MOUNTAINS: The sign for Gumdrop Mountains was painted pink with purple lettering and had gumdrops glued all over it. I made Gumdrop Mountains using huge pieces of cardboard that I cut into three different heights (5 total) and then painted bright colors. I waited until they dried and used Mod Podge (clear craft glue) to cover the entire surface and then sprinkled on glitter. I made Jolly from cardboard also. I used a book I had (a four pack of Candyland board books) to draw Jolly freehand by looking at his picture in the book. After I painted the entire thing, I used a sharpie marker to outline all of the details and make them stand out. Above the Gumdrop Mountains I placed a garland of artificial glittery gumdrops. On each side of the mountains I had a cluster of balloons in various colors held down with clear bags of gumdops. The game for this station was Gumdrop Drop. Each child would climb up a step ladder (assisted by me if they were young) and was given ten gumdrops (one at a time) to try and drop into a clear glass container below. When they finished the game they received a sparkly colored note pad (which were held in a little purple tin bucket).
LICORICE FOREST: The sign for Licorice Forest was painted black, had red lettering and had red licorice hot glued to it. Licorice Forest consisted of a black artificial tree that looked very similar to black licorice (from Halloween). On the tree my mom had bought various types of licorice, some were even spirals that I've never seen before. She used paper clips to make hangers for them and then hung them from the branches. On the ground around the tree we puddled black plastic and the laid red pool noodles that I cut in half (to resemble licorice). On each side of the forest were clusters of red and black balloons weighted down with red licorice (unwrapped). The game for this station was Lord Licorice's Licorice Limbo. Here Lord Licorice blocked the path and wouldn't allow the kids to continue on their way to Candy Castle unless they could limbo under his licorice stick (red pool noodle). Once all the kids completed this task they were given a red cellophane treat bag filled with different types of licorice that was tied shut with a black ribbon.
PEANUT ACRES: Next on the path the sign pointed to Peanut Acres (which was a brown sign with white lettering and shelled peanuts hot glued to it). Here we placed two large fake trees / bushes and then six cardboard bushes. I had made the six bushes from cardboard (with a little cardboard stand) and painted both sides a dark green. I then hot glued on tons of peanuts to all of them. Peanuts were also scattered on the ground throughout Peanut Acres. There were also three clusters of green and yellow balloons which were weighed down with clear bags of peanuts. Here the kids played a game with Gramma Nut where she asked them to feed Basket Dog some peanuts. Each child tossed 10 peanuts into Basket Dog and then received a Nutter Butter Bar from Gramma Nut.
LOLLIPOP WOODS: The sign pointing to Lollipop Woods was painted a bright purple with white lettering and had lollipops hot glued all over it. On both sides of the Candyland path we placed a green plastic table runner and trimmed it to look like a grassy area. On top of the grass we placed twenty or so colorful balloons that were on extra tall colored balloon sticks (Oriental Trading) that were in their own individual wooden stands (again extra white shelving). The game here was Lollipop Ring Ross. I had made a sucker ring toss game using a large box that I wrapped with solid purple paper and then poked holes in rows and filled them with suckers (Oriental Trading). For the rings I used those little hard plastic bracelets that kids have (my daughter had lots of them in her dress-up box). I allowed reach kid to throw the rings until they got five lollipops, they then kept those.
SNOWFLAKE LAKE: The sign pointing towards Snowflake Lake was a large corner piece of white lattice. From this we hung lots of snowflake decorations and outline the whole thing with snowflake garland and tinsel. The lake itself was a thick blue show curtain cut into a lake shape. Around the lake was thick silver tinsel that looked like frosting. Placed next to the lake was a pair of white ice skates that we added pom-poms to the laces. On either side of the lake were containers that were filled with ice and then coming containers were large white sparkly decorative branches. There were also clusters of baby blue and clear snowflake printed balloons that were weighted down with white snowflake ceramic ornaments around Snowflake Lake. The game at this station was using five faux crystal snowflakes (about 2 inches in size) and sliding them across the lake and trying to get them to land on one of the many large snowflake stickers (that were stuck to the lake). Regardless if the kids actually got their snowflakes on the stickers they received two snowflake pencils.
CHOCOLATE SWAMP: The sign for Chocolate Swamp was left cardboard brown with dark brown lettering and had unwrapped pieces of Hershey's bars attached to them (I used double stick tape). Chocolate Swamp was made from a brown tarp that I cut into a wavy circle shape. Gloppy was fashioned out of a roll of chicken wire and another brown tarp. I then painted his facial features on with paint. He was placed in the center of Chocolate Swamp. Around the swamp were clusters of brown balloons that were weighed down with Hershey's bars. The game at this station started by having all of the children sit in the swamp around the edge. I then asked them how it felt to be sitting in Chocolate Swamp. They all answered things like: sticky, gooey, wet, etc. Then I told them that they were stuck in the swamp with Gloppy and could only get unstuck if they held the magic chocolate bar. We then played a hot potato like version using the chocolate bar and whoever was holding the bar when I said stop was able to get out of the swamp and get a treat from Gloppy. The treat was a chocolate pudding cup. We played until everyone was free from the swamp and received their prize.
CANDY CASTLE: The sign for Candy Castle was painted a bright yellow with multicolored lettering and then had multicolored circles in various sizes glued all around it. I made Candy Castle using several very large sheets of cardboard. There was the main entrance to the castle that had a large tower coming out of the top. Next to that was a hug bright blue gumball machine, I used paper to make tons of large gumballs to attach to it. On either side of the entrance and gumball machine were two towers in four different colors. I used tons of paint to cover all of the pieces and then used paint and black markers to add the details. These pieces took me weeks to make, but were the main focal point of the party. Leading up to the castle from the Candyland path I used these large colorful round plastic mats from the Twister Scram game my son got for Christmas. They worked perfect and resembled the same candy path just like on the game board. On either side of the castle were clusters of multicolored balloons that were weighed down with clear bags of various candies. The activity for this station was Candyland necklace making. The kids all sat at a table (yellow table cloth) and they received a colorful stripped cupcake liner filled with foam beads (I spent a lot of time dividing up the beads equally, so all of the kids received the same number of each type of bead) which included gingerbread men, candy canes, gum drops, peppermints, and candies (Oriental Trading). I tied dull needles to the end of silver thread (so they wouldn't slip off) and then put a piece of colored electrical tape at the ends (so their beads wouldn't fall off).*CHARACTERS: I decided to have live characters for the party to make it even more fun for the kids. All of the characters were live people except Jolly (Gumdrop Mountains) and Gloppy (Chocolate Swamp).
MR. MINT: (my sister) I found red jeans at Goodwill and spent 4 hours stamping and hand painting white candy canes and snowflakes all over the pants. I also attached foam candy canes and mint candies to all of the belt buckle loops. The pants were held up by red suspenders. I found a red and white stripped polo shirt at Goodwill also. I found a red and white stripped fuzzy scarf at a craft/gift store. For the hat I bought two foam hats / visors (red and white) that had a cut out swirl at the top (resembled a mint candy). I glued the two together so you could see both colors in the swirl and attached foam candy canes and mints to the brim. She also wore red and white tennis shoes with red and white stripped socks. My mom made red arm cuffs from felt that went on her wrists next to her yellow workman's gloves. She carried a candy cane axe (pvc pipe with red electrical tape stripes and the head of one of my son's fake azes from his fireman costume) and also a large candy cane (about three feet tall) fashioned from two large wire/garland type candy canes.
LORD LICORICE: (my husband) He wore black pants and a black shirt underneath a red and black vest (with big puffy sleeves) my mom made. That was topped off with a red cape that was coverd in licorice (red swirled rope). He wore big black rubber boots with black felts cuff my mom made. He wore long black gloves with more black felt cuffs. Hi hat was made from a red foam hat (dollar store) that looked just like the style from the game board. I originally tried hot gluing black licorice to the hat but it wouldn't hold very well. I purchased another hat and my mom sewed on some different types of licorices and some trim that resembled red licorice. His costume was topped off with a black licorice pipe and a big red foam mustache.
GRAMMA NUT: (my mom) My mom made her entire outfit by hand starting off with peanut material for her dress trimmed with bright green material and a bright apron. She found a large green floppy gardening hat, purple shovel, purple socks, and the craziest neon green high heel tennis shoes, and lots of large beaded jewelry. She loaded her large apron pockets with peanuts. I lucked out and found a peanut shaped basket at Goodwill and added felt facial features to make Basket Dog along with a bandana handle.
PRINCESS LOLLY: (my daughter) I used a beautiful sparkly dress my daughter had in her dress up box that had beads that looked like candy along the collar and lots of tulle skirt liners to make it poofy. I added bright felt lollipops to each of the 5 pointed pieces that hung down the front of her dress on the skirt area. Along the bottom of the tulle layers my mom sewed on tiny lollipop charms. I also had my daughter wear pretty fair wings just like Princess Lolly wears. She wore tights under her dress and sparkly white shoes I found at Goodwill. She carried around a sparkly fake lollipop. She was supposed to wear a purple crown, but didn't like wearing it.
PRINCESS FROSTINE: (me) After scouring many different stores and second hand shops I couldn't find a pink dress to wear and decided on switching the dress color to blue instead of pink. Decorations for Snowflake Lake were mainly white and blue and I decided to go that route instead (it was the only character that was exactly like the game). I found a sleeveless/strapless dark blue dress at Goodwill. It was about eight sizes too big, but it was perfect in every other way for my costume so I had my mom take it in and sew it back up. We sewed on white plastic glittery snowflakes (found at a garage sale) along the bottom of the dress and a few on the bodice. We also added white snowflake buttons along the top of the bodice topped off with white fur trim at the top. I wore a long white sleeved shirt underneath it. I found two dark blue wooden bangles (bracelets) at Goodwill and hot glued snowflake buttons (after cutting off the button loop) all around them. I wore white tights and white slipper / shoes. My mom made my a cape out of blue sparkly material that was line with white fur. I wore a tiara with white fur trim (from my daughter's dress up box). I made a snowflake wand from a wooden dowel I painted white and one of the plastic snowflakes (like on the dress).
KING CANDY: (on's costume started off with red wool tights and a bright yellow long sleeve shirt. My mom made him a yellow body suit complete with stuffing to make him look pudgy in the middle just like King Candy. He wore a purple crushed velvet cape with white fur trim (my mom happened to have made it for him last Christmas, it was perfect) and red rubber boots that I added foamy candy stickers to. My mom made him a crown from a yellow foam pre-made crown that she added purple crushed velvet (leftover from his cape) to the inside to make the dome like shape for his head. She added lots of wonderful fake candies around the outside of the crown. His outfit was topped off with lots of large beaded jewelry (Goodwill) that looked like gumballs and a fake mini gumdrop garland we made into a necklace. He carried around a bubblegum septor that we made from a wooden dowel I painted yello and a clear plastic ball (ornament type thing from the craft store) that I filled with bubble gum. ***ADULT GAME: I always try to include an adult game since our parties are for our family and there are lots of adults in attendance. For this party I made a Candyland trivia game. I did have a hard finding enough information about Candyland, but ended up having a nice amount of questions. Most the questions had multiple choices. The winner received several different big packages of candy that was tied together with lots of different colored cording.
FOOD/CAKE: At this pay we didn't do a full meal, but had lots of snacks and munchies. Besides the main food, I included at least one type of food from each place in Candyland. All the food was placed in bright colorful bowls. The cups, napkins, and plates were various bright colors. I pre-mixed them all so that the colors of each item was in a pattern and not just individual stacks of colors. At each of the food, cake, and eating tables I placef different bright tablecloths. In the center of the eating tables I placed a large placemat that looked like two lollipops with swirls. On top of the placemats I put one of the four Candyland board books (people who weren't familiar with the game could look at these and see exactly what we based everything off of). On the food table I place a bubblegum machine and other various candies in the middle. The punch and cake table held a large punch fountain and the Candyland cake and board game. I also used a Candyland card game (garage sale) and placed these around the walls behind the tables. Next to the cups I placed white labels (that were stamped with colorful gumdrops) and a pen for people to mark their names on their cups and save on wasting so many cups.
CAKE: For the cake I made a large sheet cake and frosted it with a bright green frosting. I used unwapped starburst candies for the Candyland path, the gingerbread game pieces from our game, gingerbread boys and trees from a box a gingerbread cookies (I used toothpicks behind them to make them stand up) = Gingerbread Tree, mini candy canes = Peppermint Forest, different sized gumdrops = Gumdrop Mountains & Gumdrop Pass, red and black licorice (cut into shorter pieces) = Licorice Forest, circus peanuts = peanut acres, rainbow stripped gum = Rainbow Trail, mini plastic swirled lollipops (actually charms that I cut the top loop off of) = Lollipop Woods, white frostings and cream cheese mint snowflakes = Snowflake Lake, melted Hershey's bar and individual Hershey's pieces = Chocolate Swamp, tiny colored ice cream cones, gumballs, mini candies = Candy Castle. We served the cake and ice and also candy cane cookies (like the kind you make at Christmas) and beautiful snowflake cookies that my mom made.
FAVORS: The kids at the party received all of the prizes and items they made throughout Candyland, their coloring books, and a large cluster of balloons with the candy weights. Several of the kids also asked if they could take home my cardboard pieces (like Jolly, Candy Castle, etc.). I didn't mind as I didn't have to try and haul them back home, although I did make sure they asked their parents first. I always have a little favor for the adults also. We made cream cheese mints (with crushed peppermints) in snowflake molds, they were sooooo good. We packaged these up in little cellophane bags and ties them up with light blue ribbon and a little thank you note. The note said We hope you had a SWEET time at our Candyland birthday party. Thanks for coming! We love you, ________. Then I added a pretty snowflake clipart next to the wording.
All in all the party was a huge success and my kids had an amazing time. I was completely burnt out and exhausted after all that planning and preparation, but I thoroughly enjoyed doing it for my two kids!

WAVE IGNITUS 3
FEATURING AUTHENTIC JAPANESE INNOVATION
The all new Wave Ignitus 3 emerged following two years of research and development. Working in collaboration with top Japanese football player, Keisuke Honda (CSKA Moscow and Japan International), the engineers at Mizuno answered his request for some additional shooting armoury for ‘deadball situations’. The aim was to add increased pace to the ball with a more forward-kicking approach. The R&D team analysed Honda’s new forward kicking approach and when striking the ball it was evident to apply some form of technical panel on to the top and medial side of the vamp area.
The top of the foot was then layered with a fin shaped technical panel called Tatekaiten (Japanese for top spin). When the strategically placed fins make contact and rub against the ball during the kicking motion, they force the ball to rotate with 17% increased ball revolutions. The improved (longitudinal) ball revolutions deliver more pace to the ball and when struck with Honda’s unique forward kicking technique the ball rises then dips at a forceful pace. A great tool for deadball situations like free kicks, when the player wants to get the ball up and over the wall at enough speed to beat the keeper.
Further along the vamp area, the technical panel also features another new update, in the form of a more flexible Yokokaiten (Japanese for side spin) panel on the instep which creates extra (latitudinal) ball revolutions for improved side-spin and accuracy when wanting to curl the ball. Also following on from the Ignitus series, the Mukaiten Panel (Japanese for non-spin) is still ever present in this third edition. As the original technical USP the application of non-spin movement, reduces the rotation of the ball making ‘deadball situations’ even more lethal. As the ball flies towards the net it dips and swerves making it difficult for keepers to judge its path.
Additional updates include a premium synthetic lightweight upper, knocking a few grams off the weight, and a brand new outsole cleat design aimed at reducing stud pressure and improving traction on the turf. Featuring a more supportive lateral bridge to offer more stability in the mid-foot area.
The colours are ‘out there’, vibrant making them a stylish boot that stands out on the pitch.
The Wave Ignitus 3 Weapon Selection
Tatekaiten (“Top Spin”)
What is it? Firm PU flared fins that create added friction upon ball contact to increase longitudinal rotational top spin.
What is the impact? Increased pace with furious dip towards goal.
Yokokaiten (“Side Spin”)
What is it? Flexible PU patterned panel that creates added friction on ball contact increasing latitudinal rotational side spin.
What is the impact? A more controlled curl.
Mukaiten (“Non Spin”)
What is it? Placed on the in-step, Mukaiten’s special material makes a clean ball contact without applying any revolutions to the ball.
What is the impact? An unpredictable flight.

Figure Out What You Want
Before you start looking at a rental for your vacation, you’ll want to think about the things that you want and need. How many people are going to be traveling in your party? Do you want to stay in a cabin, or would you prefer to stay in different lodgings?

Booking things ahead of time can also give you some piece of mind. Once everything is booked, you won’t have to worry about finding a place to stay during your trip. You’ll know that all of that has already been taken care of. You’ll be able to focus on other aspects of your vacation.
Check Out Images So That You Will Have A Clear Picture Of Where You’ll Be Staying

If you see a vacation rental that doesn’t have many pictures, you won’t want to book that rental. You should try to find an appealing rental with plenty of images. If you wind up staying in a place like that, you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Find Lodgings With The Right Amenities
Check to see what kinds of perks your rental does and doesn’t offer. You should never assume that you’ll have common amenities like air conditioning or wifi. Every rental in Albrightsville is different.
You should look at the listed amenities before you agree to stay somewhere. If you’re not sure that a cabin has a particular amenity, it’s a wise idea to check to see what is and isn’t offered. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when you’re considering amenities!
Don’t Be Afraid To Look For More Unusual Amenities
While you should definitely make sure your rental has all of the essentials that you need, you should also consider looking for some amenities that are a little luxurious. There are all kinds of rentals in this area. You might be able to find a place that has an indoor pool or a hot tub!
You know what you want more than anything else. Because of this, you are perfectly poised to find a place that meets all of your needs. Look at all of the amenities that are available, not just the ones that you know you’ll use.
See If You Will Be Able To Cook
Are you planning on doing a lot of cooking when you’re on vacation. If you expect to cook most of your own meals, you should make sure that won’t be a problem for you. You should check to see if the rentals you are looking at are equipped with a full kitchen.
Some rentals only have a kitchenette, which can make cooking tricky. Look for places with a kitchen that will allow you to cook the kinds of dishes that you want to prepare.
Look For Options That Are In Your Price Range
You probably have a budget in mind for your trip, and it’s likely that your vacation rental is going to be a big part of that budget. You should make sure you keep your spending in check. Focus on finding some options that fall within your price range.
Even if your price range is fairly limited, you should find some options that are affordable for you. You should know that cheaper vacation rentals tend to rent out right away. The smaller your budget is, the speedier you will have to be.
Rent Your Accommodations From A Reputable Company
You should always be careful about who you work with when you are booking a rental. You shouldn’t have to worry about having an issue. You should feel confident that everything will go smoothly.
If you rent your Albrightsville PA vacation rentals from a reputable company, you’ll know what to expect. You won’t have to worry about your cabin being dirty, and you won’t have to worry about checking in. Everything about your trip should be very pleasant for you.
Take The Time To Learn More About Albrightsville
If you’ve never been to this part of the Poconos before, now is a great time to do some research. If you look at some of the restaurants, attractions, and sights that are in Albrightsville, you’ll be able to make the most of the time that you spend in your rental.
If you don’t know anything about Albrightsville before you arrive, you’ll have to look at your options once you’re in your vacation rental. If you do a little bit of research ahead of time, you’ll have more time to enjoy the Poconos.
There are quite a few things you can do if you want to find the best Albrightsville PA vacation rentals. If you want your Poconos trip to go smoothly, you should definitely keep the tips above in mind as you look for a cabin. These suggestions can save you time, energy, and headaches.

Talk about historic ambiance; La Vuccurua can be for some Sicily's response to Bogart's Casablanca, to Tangiers' Casbah, to Ali Baba's Den, a place where Eliot Ness might have driven up in an army of steel plated trucks, or less melodramatically, an atmospheric ancient market to grab a great patchwork meal or the makings for one to bring home. It's a little like Washington, D.C. Stick to the right paths and all will be ok, probably. What's the right path? Certainly numbers help, especially for women. Be subdued in appearance, and most of what's worth seeing and doing doesn't necessitate the sun having gone down.
To get a taste of a particularly vibrant and edgy undercurrent of the Italian south, one can go alternately to hidden corners of Naples as the only natural and reliable rival for the atmosphere found in La Vuccurua. This is the adventurous kind of place one relishes telling neighbors of for a very long time.

Hi, Karen here. I have always had a love of walking in the bush, particularly looking at wildflowers, but have only in recent years discovered the Bibbulmun Track. As many have told me, it is addictive and I am now passing on my new found passion by volunteering as a guide. I haven’t walked the entire track yet but my favourite so far is around the Canning River where it amazes me how much the vegetation and soil can change in so short a time. Hope to see you out there soon!
My acquaintance with the Bibbulmun Track goes back to the mid 1980s. We walked most of the old alignment. On blistered feet and aching legs we learnt valuable early lessons about hiking. The children came along and my walking adventures adapted to suit their little legs. As they have moved onto their own adventures I found more time to return to my own, including walking the Bibb Track. The Bibb Track really is a world class asset. People from all over the world come here to walk it. I know. I have spoken with many out on the Track. I am keen, as a Bibb Track vollie, to share some of my passion, knowledge and skills with others who can then enjoy our wilderness for themselves and in turn share it with others.

Simian Mobile Disco return to XOYO in London with Delicatessen; a series of monthly parties, starting Friday 18 September. The first session will welcome long-time Panorama Bar resident Cassy to the club. With her ‘Panorama Bar 01’ mix still popular, her releases on Perlon and her own Cassy label have further cemented her status as possibly one of Europe’s most in demand spinners. German selector Oliver Deutschmann will be on support duties.
On 3 October SMD will be heading to the Californian desert, where they recorded their latest album 'Whorl’, to play a live show at A Day In The Desert, an intimate musical happening set amongst the boulders on 650 acres of private land close to the very landscapes which inspired most of 'Whorl''s aesthetics and sounds. This will also be the last time they perform 'Whorl' live, just over a year after its release, before going into the studio once again to work on new material.
Given a bit of free time while James has been off producing for other bands, Jas has been busy crafting a whole slew of new material, the first fruits of which see the light of day on a brand new release on their own Delicacies label.
Jas’ 'Love Doubled’ EP is out on 25 September.


Is the Stock Market Way Ahead of Itself?
The recent market rally off the lows in March has been nothing short of historic. Markets have made a great deal of history this year and this recent rally is more of the same. S&P 500 is up 40% from the March lows and the Nasdaq 100 just recently hit a record high. So, what is going on? Is Wall Street really expecting such a big economic rebound? Is the stock market way ahead of itself?
The stock market is not the economy. You may have heard this before but sometimes the market can be really disconnected from what is happening on Main Street. Now is one of those times. The Fed went all out to combat the economic effects of the Corona virus with ultra-low interest rates and a flood of stimulus money that already dwarfs the response to the 2008 financial crisis.
All of that cheap money has to find a home so the Fed can create periods of asset inflation as money chases assets. There is a market saying, don’t fight the fed. That has been proved correct over the past 10 years but eventually the medicine becomes the poison. The Fed is essentially out of ammunition, they have used so many tools to prop up or accommodate the market over the past decade so, at some point, that artificial market will run out of gas and asset prices will adjust.
When is that time, who knows? As much of main street attempts to reopen and come back, there will be problems along the way and the V shaped recovery that many in Wall Street were expecting or hoping for is probably going to be much much slower as the economy will probably take years to recover. Whereas we cannot or attempt to time markets, since 2000 there have been 3 bear markets so the boom and bust market cycle is not only continuing but also becoming more frequent, more volatile and more severe when compared to other periods in history.
Be smart with your money and be smart with your investments. The worst decisions made in uncertain times come from being emotionally driven whereas the best decisions tend to come from making data-driven decisions. Trade in fear and greed during volatile times and replace with common sense and self control.

Investigations into the killings of four friends accused of money fraud took a new twist after it emerged one had conned the lover of his accomplice.
Accusations of their involvement in a money and cryptocurrency fraud led to the discovery of the deaths of Fred Obare, Frank Obegi, Moses Nyachae, and Elijah Omeka in Kijabe Forest and Magadi.
It emerged Wednesday that Ms Doreen Makena, Omeka’s lover, had complained of losing Sh100,000 to Obare.
Ms. Makena had a complaint against Obare regarding a Sh100,000 academic writing account, according to testimonies recorded by Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) investigators.
Obare’s body was found on Monday in Magadi, Kajiado County, while Obegi, Nyachae, and Omeka’s bodies were found on Sunday in Kijabe Forest, Kiambu County.
Obare, who vanished on Thursday, allegedly promised to pay the money since he was unable to secure another academic writing account. He was apprehended by detectives in Kasarani and taken over to the Ruiru Police Station in a different case concerning bitcoin. He settled the matter last May.
Stephanie Mburu, the wife of Obare, revealed to investigators and family members that her husband had informed her that he had received a call from Ms. Makena and that he would be joining her in filing a report of her husband’s disappearance at the Kasarani Police Station.
On Thursday evening, Ms Makena called Ms Mburu asking whether her husband had arrived home but he had not. According to Obare’s brother Finley Mokaya, Obare’s phone was switched off at 2.30pm the same day, shortly after he spoke to Ms Makena.
He told the Nation on Tuesday in the afternoon, “That was the last time we heard from him. Additionally, it has come to light that Ms. Mburu had stopped working with the family and had departed the city for an unidentified place.
She declined to comment on what had happened when The Nation contacted her.

||Optimizing feature pooling and prediction models of VQA algorithms
||In this paper, we propose a strategy to optimize feature pooling
and prediction models of video quality assessment (VQA)
algorithms with a much smaller number of parameters than
methods based on machine learning, such as neural networks.
Based on optimization, the proposed mapping strategy is composed of a global linear model for pooling extracted features, a simple linear model for local alignment in which local factors depend on source videos, and a non-linear model for quality calibration. Also, a reduced-reference VQA algorithm is proposed to predict the local factors from the source video. In the IRCCyN/IVC video database of content influence and the LIVE mobile video database, the performance of VQA
algorithms is improved significantly by local alignment. The proposed mapping strategy with prediction of local factors outperforms one no-reference VQA metric and is comparable to one full-reference VQA metric. Thus predicting the local
factors in local alignment based on video content will be a promising new approach for VQA.

Cell Cycle & DNA Damage Repair Poster
In normal cells, each stage of the cell cycle is tightly regulated, however in cancer cells many genes and proteins that are involved in the regulation of the cell cycle are mutated or over expressed. Adapted from the 2015 Cancer Product Guide, Edition 3, this poster summarizes the stages of the cell cycle and DNA repair. It also highlights strategies for enhancing replicative stress in cancer cells to force mitotic catastrophe and cell death.

Yeast bread shape
PARKER HOUSE ROLLS
Cut with biscuit cutter. Brush with melted butter. Make crease across each. Fold so top half slightly overlaps. Press edges together at crease. Place close together on pan.
Gather the ropes and squeeze them together at the very top. If making a 3-stranded challah, braid the ropes together like braiding hair or yarn and squeeze the ends together when complete.
- Roll each piece of dough into a long, thin rope (about 28" to 30" long), and twist each rope into a pretzel. Working with 4 pretzels at a time, place them in the pan with the baking soda/water, spooning the water over their tops; leave them in the water for 2 minutes before placing them on the baking sheet. This baking soda "bath" will give the pretzels a nice, golden-brown color.
Cut off a 1-pound piece of dough using kitchen shears* and form it into a ball. Place the ball on a sheet of parchment paper. or rest it on a generous layer of corn meal on top of a pizza peel.

The aim of this paper is to introduce an original method of analysis for a kind of contemporary tourism positioned between two different traditional tourist praxis, notably the visits to a museum and to a pilgrimage destination. The case studies provided are focused on the Italian museums of shrine, where it is difficult to ascertain who, among the visitors, can be considered cultural tourist, pilgrim, or both of them. Nonetheless, the tourist flows and networks created by the Italian museums of shrines can become interesting and promising key-elements of territorial development. Four case studies have been chosen among the Italian museums of shrine, all with some features in common: the shrines are dedicated to the Holy Virgin; the museums expose different types of objects; both the museums and the shrines are of little dimensions; they are representative of different Northern Italian regions. They are notably: the Shrine of the Madonna delle Grazie in Garessio (Piedmont), where the Historical Museum is deeply linked with the tradition of worship of the shrine itself; the Shrine Madonna del Bosco in Imbersago (Lombardy), where on the contrary the Shrine’s Museum is only slightly connected with the place of worship; the Shrine Madonna della Misericordia in Genoa (Liguria), the Speleological Museum of which has assumed the pivotal role of connecting different tourist aspects of the territory; and finally the Santuario delle Grazie in Rimini (Emilia Romagna), where the Missionary Museum is not of the same property of the shrine, raising interesting problems about the ownership of the museums of shrines. Each of these case studies is meaningful not only for the different ways in which a shrine and a museum can be connected, but also for the appeal that a religious site can have towards pilgrims or religious tourists or both. The method here illustrated makes possible to verify as well other kinds of connections between other institutions and other experiences of tourism, in order to develop precise actions to enhance elsewhere the tourist experience.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! Greatest Season 2 opener ever!
I am so impressed! EXCELLENT season opener. Well written, great acting, awesome effect, great plot, awesome editing to keep the show on a breath taking pace! BRAVO! I have never been to a comic con but now I gotta go to one! I have watch a lot of TV, and a lot of series start out their 2nd season off pace and outta whack, not this show, it sets you up for the whole season, mystery, intrigue and wonder all in one, positively riveting! I am so happy with the performances and editing of this show. At the end of last season I felt that the show's story was sacrificed in order to leave out clues or trails that would lead to a 2nd season because they were not sure they were going to get a 2nd season. This series could now have 5 seasons and maintain it's steam by exploring more and more of the known and unknown life of Da Vinci!

OSTINATO STITCH-OUT Posted on 31 Mar 17:39 , 0 comments
l am playing withe the shell design and a small wall-hanging. This is the stitch-out inspired by Symphony Hall in Boston.
And look at these fun buttons I found to use as embellishment. At first I was thinking to use a variety of interesting metal buttons, and then I discovered theFACE buttons. How fun is that ... but I need more. I absolutely lovethe little wooden FACE button girl with the wild hair. Anyone have any recommendations as to where I might go on this search for more FACE buttons? I need some guy FACE buttons, too
My other dilemma is the square ... I'm thinking I might use a photo transfer capturing an image of my son with his trombone. I'm not quite sure as to what might be the best way to accomplish this yet. More research!
Any and all imput/suggestions on this project are welcome.


In a report released Friday, police identified a toddler killed earlier this week in an elevator accident at a home in Little Rock’s Heights neighborhood.
The Little Rock Police Department said Fletcher Hartz, 2, died Wednesday after becoming trapped underneath a residential elevator at a residence in the 2900 block of North Taylor Street.
Within about 30 minutes of their arrival around noon Wednesday, authorities were able to lift the elevator off the boy and found the child in the first-floor elevator shaft, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette previously reported.
Most residential elevators are not registered with the state unless they are in apartment complexes, said Denise Oxley, general counsel for the Arkansas Department of Labor. A division of the department oversees the regulations for conveyances, like elevators and escalators, in commercial spaces.
An elevator in a private, single-family dwelling is not subject to inspection or testing from the state, Oxley said. Builders and contractors who install elevators in those homes are still required to meet safety standards, she added.
Commercial elevators that carry people are inspected every six months, Oxley said. Freight elevators are inspected annually.
A 2005 law passed by the General Assembly required contractors that install elevators to be licensed with the state, Oxley said.
Information regarding how Fletcher got into the shaft as well as whether the elevator malfunctioned has not been released.
An obituary that ran Friday in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette described Fletcher as “a somewhat shy, somewhat sly, brown-headed bruiser that was destined to give the girls fits.”
“Fletcher was destined to be an engineer,” the obituary reads. “Most toys held no fascination for him, but did he ever love electronic switches and whatever they operated.”

This add-on board adds 2 new buttons (likely mapped as L2 and R2). This add-on board’s only feature is to add L2/R2 “trigger/shoulder” buttons to your Freeplay CM3 in the Boxy Pixel shell “inside” of the normal L/R shoulder buttons. This kit will require adding parts to your existing Freeplay CM3 which will involve soldering and modifications to the plastic shoulder buttons. It will also require you to install and edit software on your Freeplay CM3. It is intended for builders that have experience soldering and are okay with logging into Linux and making changes there.
This will come with button caps (as shown). A couple typical usage examples are also shown. The low profile example was made by cutting the button caps about in half before pressing them onto the button shaft.


Yao had a price tag on his head at the 2000 Olympics.
During the 2000 Summer Olympics, Vince Carter delivered one of the most iconic moments in basketball history, as he literally leapt over France's 7'2 center Frederic Weiss and threw down a thunderous dunk.
The image of Carter launching over Weiss will never be forgotten but, according to Kevin Garnett, the posterizing dunk didn't quite fulfill Team USA's $1,000,000 dollar bounty. That price tag was hanging over Yao Ming's head.
In a recent interview with Alex Wong of Yahoo Sports, KG revealed that all of Team USA really had a seven-figure bet as to who would be the first to dunk on Team China's 7'6 big man.
“Everything just paused. First of all, people didn’t know, we had a bounty out on Yao Ming. The whole USA team had a bet. We had a million dollar bet on who was going to be the first person to dunk on Yao Ming. None of us did. We all tried to dunk on Yao, but he would block it or we would miss.
“So, the first thing I thought of when I saw Vince dunk over Frederic was oh (expletive), you won the million dollars. But then I realized it obviously wasn’t Yao. I pushed Vince, and if you look at the clip, he almost punches me in the face by accident. But my first thought was, oh (expletive), you won, you got the million.”

Monday, September 24, 2018, 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Originally from Argentina, Belén grew up in San Antonio, Texas. She began playing classical piano at age eight, but with no intentions of attending conservatory, she instead chose a liberal arts path at Boston University and, seeking a more urban environment, made the move at age 18. However It wasn't long before she realized she couldn't give up playing piano and connected with local piano teacher and music producer Tim Lukas, with whom she began singing and studying song-writing and composition. Shortly after, they began work on Belén's first album, "Closer", and what would be the beginning of her singer-songwriter career.
At that point, 2009, Belén decided to take time away from her college studies to focus 100% on music. Throughout the span of two years, she studied everything from jazz piano to songwriting and classical composition, all while writing and recording for the album. "Closer", however, was never released. Being a brand new artist thrown into a large-scale production proved to be a difficult task, and with many unanswered questions still looming in her head not just about her musical aspirations, but about life, Belén decided to hit 'pause' on the almost-finished album and return to BU.
After diving back into her studies, reporting for the Daily Free Press and writing for BU's music publication, "The Buzz", Belén graduated with a Journalism degree in 2013. She stayed in Boston, working different corporate jobs to make ends meet while garnering a wide range of marketing, writing and business skills. But music was always there. And in 2016, it finally came back to the forefront. This time, for good.
It was December of 2015 when Belén realized it was music, or it was music - her life's calling and passion project. It was music that would challenge her to rise up and become the person she wanted to be. By January she had re-built her home studio and joined The Souled Out Show Band as their lead female singer. She rejoined the local open mic circuit and began writing new music. Then in April 2016 she was laid off from her job - and never looked back. She started waiting tables at The Smokeshop BBQ in Kendall Square to pay the bills, started booking modeling jobs with a local agency to get her face out there and focused 100 percent on making music her life. By July she had her first paid gig with a full band and by December she was no longer waiting tables at The Smokeshop - she was being paid to sing and ring in the new year as a professional entertainer.
Since then, Belén has been on the fast track to becoming a prominent mainstay in Boston's local music scene and beyond, playing everywhere from the legendary Beehive and its sister restaurant, The Beat Brasserie, to local favorites TOAD, Scoozi Boston, Tres Gatos, and other venues all over Boston. Her music has grown to include a wide array of Latin American and Spanish influences alongside the 90s and 2000s American pop music she grew up with in Texas. She is currently working on her next EP with renowned Latin producer DJ Afro in New York City, which will include both English and Spanish songs that paint a vivid picture of her unique journey over the past 10 years. It's one you certainly don't want to miss, so stay tuned for behind-the-scenes of the writing and recording process, making it as an artist in New York City, and experiencing in real-time the making of an artist that's here to stay.


Obama is panicking
After seeming years of silence, and plenty of billionaire vacays, President Obama is on the warpath. Here's what the Washington Post is reporting:
Former president Barack Obama shared deep worries Friday about the Justice Department’s decision to drop its prosecution of ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn, telling old aides on a call that “our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk,” according to a recording obtained by Yahoo News and confirmed by an Obama spokesperson.
Obama also appeared to slam the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic as an “absolute chaotic disaster,” offering the sort of blistering criticisms he has rarely aired in public. Obama said shortly before President Trump took office that he would only weigh in on his successor’s actions when he believes “our core values may be at stake.”
Obama was speaking to something called the "Obama Alumni Association," a real nod to the faculty lounge, but in reality, a likely flying monkey corps waiting for activation, the leaked phone call just the first step.
The New York Times, citing leaks, called Obama "deeply angered."
And if so, that's not surprising. A huge Obama White House effort to spy on a political opponent and prevent him from serving in public office is slowly being exposed.
So the ridiculous carp about President Trump's coronavirus crisis leadership being 'absolute chaos' is nonsense, a naked bid to knock down President Trump.
And his Flynn complaint is complete nonsense. The Flynn prosecution was dropped because of naked prosecutorial misconduct. Prosecutors do that because they know their cases aren't going to win.
Rule of law? Since when does prosecutorial misconduct of the worst kind merit not dropping a tainted case? Bad cases based on this reason are thrown out all the time, (just ask former California prosecutor Kamala Harris, whose cases stand to be thrown out wholesale based on prosecutorial misconduct). Anybody who's going to prosecute others has got to be damn clean or the system loses credibility. For Obama to 'warn' about rule of law, as if that were something he ever cared about before this, is disingenuous. It's also projecting, a typical passive-aggressive Obama maneuver to say the least. That Obama arranged for this leak, under cover of 'private conversation' is simply a joke.
Obama, actually, is panicking.
The release of congressional interview transcripts, the declassification of some elements of the DoJ Inspector General investigation, and the news of the FISA warrant abuses on Carter Page, as well as the railroading of Gen. Michael Flynn, pretty well tell a story of Obama being the big power behind all of these legal abuses. That would explain Obama's sudden fascination with 'rule of law' as a shield to cover his own lawless acts, and the emerging revelation that he himself was the ringleader of all the bids to take down President Trump, using the power of the government itself.
Sundance over at Conservative Treehouse has a very deep dive (it took me an hour to read it, but it never got boring) into the roots of Obama's rage and why he's running scared and starting to fight back. It begins:
On March 9, 2016, oversight personnel doing a review of FBI system access were alerted to thousands of unauthorized search queries of specific U.S. persons within the NSA database.
NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was made aware.
Subsequently NSA Director Rogers initiated a full compliance review of the system to identify who was doing the searches; & what searches were being conducted.
On April 18, 2016, following the preliminary audit results, Director Rogers shut down all FBI contractor access to the database after he learned FISA-702 “about”(17) and “to/from”(16) search queries were being done without authorization. Thus begins the first discovery of a much bigger background story.
Once that access was taken away, the unmaskings from the inside began, and as soon as those were found to be all using the same identifiers, with 85% noncompliant with existing standards, according to a judicial report, the Obamatons then turned to the Steele dossier, which they all knew was fake, but also knew was useful as as a means of getting the intelligence and law enforcement agencies involved and engaging in real spying on Americans, taking down Trump operatives one by one.
Sundance has precise plot point dated meetings that happened after every measure to shut down the Obama use of the government apparat for domestic political purposes went into effect - visits by Fusion GPS to the White House, the contractors who seem to have been involved in the spying on Sharyl Attkisson's computer. After that, the activation of human sources to target Trump officials, and the whole thing is absolutely outrageous. Better still, Mike Rogers, the NSA chief cited above, has been doing a lot of talking to John Durham, the investigator appointed to sort this thing out with real prosecutorial powers.
It's a major threat to the Obama edifice, and it's significant that Obama got word out about his rage through the phone meeting with the "Obama alumni," and not some reporter or think tank or political pal. The flying monkeys are the ones most likely to be prosecuted for real rule of law violations, so Obama's phone call was a rallying cry to throw the shade on Trump instead - tossing in a lie-repeated-a-thousand-times about supposed Trumpian chaos on coronavirus. So much for rule of law.
Read the whole Sundance thing here, it's long but worth it.
The walls are closing in. The whole story leaves little doubt that the Obama cries of fury are about to get louder.

'The Voice' fans angry about replacement of 'Lord' with 'oh' in traditional gospel hymn
When finalists on NBC’s “The Voice” sang the traditional Christian hymn “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” last Tuesday, Nov. 26, many listeners noticed they sang the word "oh" instead of "Lord" in the chorus, as the original version dictates.
Some took to social media to express disapproval of the change.
“Don’t choose a gospel song, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” and replace “Lord” with “oh,” tweeted Teresa Collis about the performance. “Why choose the song?”
The song’s original lyrics read, “may the circle be unbroken / by and by, Lord, by and by / there’s a better home a-waiting / in the sky, Lord, in the sky.”
According to The Blaze, “The Voice” used a public domain version of the song that users could listen to for free on iTunes, which omitted the word “Lord.” But the original 1907 song also included the phrases “dying Savior” and “songs of heaven,” which “The Voice” also left out of the performance, according to the same article.
Some involved with the show did not know about the omission. Mark Burnett, executive producer for “The Voice” and producer of “The Bible” TV miniseries originally thought he had misheard the word, according to The Blaze.
“The Voice” judge Blake Shelton did not know the show had used “oh” instead of “Lord,” and viewers noticed that he sang the religious lyrics.
“When the camera panned over to the judges while they were singing, I saw Blake Shelton singing alone with them. And he sang the word Lord,” wrote Susan McCorkel Patrick on The Voice Facebook page. “Kuddos to you Blake!!”
Many comments on the show’s Facebook page and tweets expressed outrage over the altered gospel song’s lyrics.
“Heck I'm not even religious but this is a travesty to blatantly leave out the most important word of this song,” wrote Rebecca Roady Pennington on the show’s Facebook page.
Whether the omission was intentional has not been confirmed or denied. However, some people who responded on social media said that despite enjoying “The Voice” in the past, because of the alteration they would not continue to watch the show.

Personally, I had no idea happy hour even existed any more because when I go out to eat, EVERY hour is happy hour if you get what I’m throwing down. But I don’t want happiness to elude you, so here is a list of the best kid-friendly Happy Hour’s in Lake County.
Five Kid-Friendly Options in Lake County
Timothy O’Toole’s Pub
5572 Grand Ave., Gurnee | (847) 249-0800
412 Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville | (847) 984-2599
Either location of O’Toole’s is a great place to get your drink on with the kids in tow because on Mondays and Tuesdays, kids eat free at both locations. The Libertyville location offers half-price bottles of wine on Tuesdays as well, which could make dinner out with the kids epic. The Gurnee location has trivia night on Tuesdays after 8:00 p.m., which could be fun with the kids as well. Not as much fun as half price wine, but to each their own.
O’Toole’s Libertyville made Little Lake County’s list of Most Unique Grilled Cheese in Lake County, too.
2. Countyline Tavern
800 W. Lake Cook Rd., Buffalo Grove | (847) 520-7447
Located on the border of Lake and Cook counties, Countyline offers happy hour daily from 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. and has one of the coolest kids’ menus in the area. With items like grilled salmon and popcorn shrimp, as well as the usual favorites, this is a great place to have some cocktails and kick back after a long day.
3. Mickey Finn’s
345 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville | (847) 362-6688
With an extensive beer menu, outdoor seating and a great kids menu, you can’t go wrong with Mickey Finn’s. With such kids menu items like pretzel bites with cheese, and grilled peanut butter and jelly, you might be eating off of their plate instead.
You can read about Mickey Finn’s award-winning brewery in our round up of Local Brews.
4. Milwalky Taco
605 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville | (224) 513-5766
I went here for the first time a few weeks ago and fell in love, especially with the calamari. (Get the calamari). Also go on Taco Tuesday when margaritas are half price and carnitas tacos are only two dollars. But don’t leave without trying the calamari while it’s available.
Read about our Tasty Tuesday Taco Showdown that included Milwalky Taco!

5. Prairie House Tavern
2710 Main St., Buffalo Grove | (847) 415-2255
For Sunday brunch, this is the place to be as they have $4 Bloody Marys and mimosas from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. They also offer a simple brunch menu including build your own omelettes, and skillets, in addition to a few more options. The less options you have, the better the food in my humble opinion.
I know there are a lot more of you who take your kids to Happy Hour and I love all of you.
Where do you like to celebrate happy hour with kids in tow?

Author: Nestle, Marion
Description: In the U.S., we’re bombarded with nutritional advice–the work, we assume, of reliable authorities with our best interests at heart. Far from it, says Marion Nestle, whose Food Politics absorbingly details how the food industry–through lobbying, advertising, and the co-opting of experts–influences our dietary choices to our detriment. Central to her argument is the American “paradox of plenty,” the recognition that our food abundance (we’ve enough calories to meet every citizen’s needs twice over) leads profit-fixated food producers to do everything possible to broaden their market portion, thus swaying us to eat more when we should do the opposite. The result is compromised health: epidemic obesity to start, and increased vulnerability to heart and lung disease, cancer, and stroke–reversible if the constantly suppressed “eat less, move more” message that most nutritionists shout could be heard.
Nestle, nutrition chair at New York University and editor of the 1988 Surgeon General Report, has served her time in the dietary trenches and is ideally suited to revealing how government nutritional advice is watered down when a message might threaten industry sales. (Her report on byzantine nutritional food-pyramid rewordings to avoid “eat less” recommendations is both predictable and astonishing.) She has other “war stories,” too, that involve marketing to children in school (in the form of soft-drink “pouring rights” agreements, hallway advertising, and fast-food coupon giveaways), and diet-supplement dramas in which manufacturers and the government enter regulation frays, with the industry championing “free choice” even as that position counters consumer protection. Is there hope? “If we want to encourage people to eat better diets,” says Nestle, “we need to target societal means to counter food industry lobbying and marketing practices as well as the education of individuals.” It’s a telling conclusion in an engrossing and masterfully panoramic exposé.

This is a tutorial that I really like. I recomend you to try it. Well, hope you like it.
Do you already know how you will wrap your St-Valentine’s gift? How about making something special with personal touch! For example, you can make a cool paper heart and attach it to a gift box. I am going to do exactly that!
I have come up with this little DIY which is fun and amusing. Why amusing? Well, in my DIYs that involve paper I love to use pages from fashion magazines. Their text and pictures may combine into fun patterns – and each time the pattern that emerges is different and surprising.
To make an origami heart you need:
- old magazines
- cardboard boxes or another wrapping you want to use
- double sided tape – you can also use a glue
Go through the magazines and tear the pages with images printed in red – or any other colour you want to use for your hearts
For this origami you need…

Tool is a rock-metal-industrial band, (its hard to describe the music tool makes) and 10,000 days is their new album.trench said:ummm.... what is it?
triath said:Piss off, we can call them whatever the hell we want. Better than making up some stupid "Viking Death-Black Angst Metal" sub genre of a genre of a genre genre.
From my experience Tool albums cant be appreciated from the first listening session. You sort of grow into them. At first all the songs sound alike, but when you listen to them a bit more, you'll discover their multylayered content and structural depth. Tool is certainly not everybody's cup of tea, but I like them.Reddog said:I'm a really big Tool fan but I have to say I'm not too impressed with 10,000 Days. I dunno why, I guess I just like the older more grinding riffs on albums like Undertow and Anema better, but then again I did like Lateralus a lot. 10,000 days is similar to that but it just doesn't grab me at all...
Maybe it'll grow on me.
