June is Great Outdoors Month! Celebrate by attending some of the events hosted by the Department of Conservation and Recreation happening this week and throughout the summer. Always consult The Great Outdoors Calendar when you're planning your outdoor activities this summer.
- All About the Rock: Visit Plymouth Rock this summer! DCR's Pilgrim Memorial State Park will be presenting free, 10- to 15-minute talks every hour on the hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (or by request during these hours) throughout the summer. A Pilgrim Memorial State Park Interpreter will also be present at the Plymouth Rock Portico to answer any historical questions about the Pilgrims and the history of Plymouth County. Take advantage of this opportunity to get outside and learn a little bit about our country's beginnings.
- Borderland State Park Summer Series: Throughout the month of June, DCR's Borderland State Park in North Easton will be hosting two youth summer programs. These will be held once a week for three weeks, each focusing on a different topic. Kidleidoscope! is the preschool program held on Thursdays:

Borderland State Park will also be hosting tours of the Ames Mansion (on the Border of Sharon and Easton). This is a great opportunity for families and older children to learn about suffragette Blanche Ames, her botanist husband Oakes, and the history of their beautiful stone mansion.
- Off the Beaten Path Hiking Series: Whether you come for just one hike or you come for them all, the DCR's Myles Standish State Forest hiking series is a great way to get some exercise and spend a day outdoors with your friends and family! The hikes take place every Thursday of the month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and cover different parts of the park (located in S. Carver). Participants should expect to hike 3-4 miles on moderately difficult trails.
- Evening Stroll: Visit DCR's Maudslay State Park in Newburyport on Thursdays this June from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Back by popular demand, participants in the Evening Stroll series spend an hour on a moderately paced walk through the park led by a park interpreter. This is a perfect way to get outdoors and stay active after work!
- Maudslay in Bloom: Spend a weekend day this summer touring one of the best shows of flowers in bloom in Massachusetts! Maudslay State Park is also home to an exciting array of flowers, including the wild mountain laurels highlighted by poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Tours are held every Saturday 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and every Sunday from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the month of June.
- We Walk the Woods! : Visit DCR's Harold Parker State Forest in North Andover, MA for an activity that combines exercise and sightseeing. Every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. a park ranger will lead a walk through our beautiful forest. This walk is moderately paced and a great chance for all ages to get some fresh air and enjoy the outdoors!

PERFECTION!Perfect tank in every way. Most tanks are too low, requiring one to wear a tank under a tank for coverage. These tanks fully cover, yet the v-neck makes them still cute and stylish. The fabric is great, not too thick, not too thin. So many tanks are too thin too but these are not. I love this tank, have bought 4, would have bought more had colors not gotten sold out, and will buy many more if anthro continues to carry them. I don't care about the reverse factor, since the v-neck is more stylish anyway. The only flaw for me personally is they are quite long for my petite frame (5'4, 105 pounds) so they tend to roll up around my center if not tucked in. However, I can see how this length would be a plus for most since fully covers the dreaded muffin top and/or underwear exposure. These should be a staple in everyone's closet and I would have an entire drawer full if I could to wear under everything. I really hope anthro continues to carry them since the other eloise cami tank fit me horribly.
Wardrobe necessityI have a collection of these. I wear them alone and under jackets, cardigans and sheer tops.
Awesome staple (But don't machine dry it!)I've amassed several of these tanks/camis over the past year and still love them to bits. Some may complain about the price, but keep in mind IT'S REVERSIBLE, so technically you're getting two for the price of one. And if $12 still seems steep, allow me to explain that these camis quickly become a staple item to your wardrobe—I wear one at least once, if not twice a week, and year-round at that. They fit like a second skin and are perfect for layering under flowy tops that need a little help in not catching on belts or waistbands. I always get mine in the M (5'3", 135, 34D). NOTE: these are fine to be machine washed, but we always caution customers to LINE DRY them. Otherwise they can pill, and wear down faster. If they do pill a little, it's easy enough to fix with a "lint razor," but even then BE CAREFUL because the material gives/forms to whatever it's on and can snag in the lint razor (meaning it's not like lint-shaving a wool skirt). I lost one cami that way.

Wearing them as I type...I didn't think I knew this designer personally, but I must bc these pants are made for me!!!!!!!!!!! This is my new go to pair of crops. The dark denim color is SO slimming, and the slight flare at the ankle is perfect. Not as bell as shown here. Also, these are exponentially softer and more comfortable than any other pair of jeans I've ever worn. EVER! They feel more like yoga pants than jeans, which means I will be dressing more like a real person on my days off than I tend to for the sake of comfort. They look fantastic on my nothing special tuckus, too. Lifts my bum and gives it some shape. LOVE everything about these. Considering ordering a second pair in black to wear to work. I actually ordered my regular size 8 (Im 5 ft 7 in and wear about 8-10 in pants) and these are a good fit. I think the length is perfect for me... above the ankle but not a short crop. The rise is a really decent medium rise, preventing any muffin top, but definitely not mom jeans... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
Best fit out there!I've searched high and low for jeans that fit my more athletic body both in the waist and legs. These pants are just right! No gapping at the waist, not too tight at he calves or quads. The only thing I have found- the crop and regular length seem to fit me a bit differently. I am generally a 4 or 6. In the AG Stevie a 28 is perfect, regular length Lily's the 28 is also perfect, but in the crop I chose to up to a 29. The 28 fit nice in the waist but the hips seamed a bit more snug? Either way, that's fine by me because the do feel like butter on- almost as nice as the sateen Stevie's but won't collect as much lint! My only complaint- Anthro please bring back more options in the regular length! Love love love
SIZE DOWN!!Finally, the perfect pair of black pants that are neither jegging, nor legging, nor too-thick denim! These are soft, have a little give in the legs, hug all the right leg and butt curves, but don't look too-tight or tawdry (pleather, anyone?). Appropriate for any age, for sure. I'm 5'3", size 8 or 28, but got a 27—while I *do* size up in the AG Stevie colored denim, all of us at the store hands-down agreed it was necessary to SIZE DOWN in this pant, as it stretches differently from the AGs. One of our girls even went down two sizes for this pant. The stretch mainly occurs in the waist (which is great—no inadvertent muffin topping!), which is great, and lets you wear these a few times before getting the dread "elephant knee." Another perk is that the regular length hits right at the ankles for me. They look cute rolled up with booties, rolled down with flats, tucked into boots, or even with a favorite pair of Chucks. And the price for the quality and versatility is EPIC.

Gorgeous well made skirtThis is a substantially well made skirt and incredibly flattering. I'm 5'5" with a 28" waist and 37" hips, and the M was too small on me. I normally like my skirts at my waist but this skirt should really fall at the natural waist to be most flattering. The material is stretchy and has some give and is very flowy. I wish I could exchange it for a Petite size but they are sold out. So I'm going to exchange it for a regular Small. It is a little long, falling about mid-calf. I would prefer it falling just below the knee, but still is a gorgeous skirt I feel great in. Paired with a plain white short sleeve blouse as shown in the pics is absolutely perfect.
A lot of skirtI saw this skirt in the catalog and instantly fell in love, so I decided to order it. Before it arrived, I had second thoughts (where will I wear it?) and decided I'd have to return it, since it was too late to cancel the order. When it came, I tried it on and liked it, but it's a whole lot of skirt. While it is a lovely design and color, it reminded me very much of the skirts my bridesmaids wore when I got married 12 years ago. I felt it was quite costumey for someone in their late 30s, so I decided to send it back. I'm 5'5" and curvy, and I still found the skirt flattering, if snug around my true waist. The skirt is definitely a midi and hit a few inches above my ankles. And as another reviewer mentioned, there are quite a few unfinished roses with pieces of the mesh material hanging down. I worried about snagging them on something. Overall, it's a beautiful statement piece, but I felt it was too young and too over-the-top for my style these days. I sent it back.
Whats not to LOVE!From the minute I saw this skirt I knew that I had to have it and that It would be coming home with me. Its perfection. I am 5'6" and the length hits just below my knees. So perfect midi length. The waist fits TTS. I initially tried on a size S and thought the waist might be a tad big, but then tried on the XS and while it fit, I don't think I could eat and be able to sit in it without it being too tight (my waist is about 26.5 in), so I decided to go with the S. It looks fabulous with a belt and just a simple white tee. There are two little tiny issues I have with it that aren't a big deal. The skirt is really heavy becuse of the material used and the lining. Not a big deal but its not really a great summer skirt. The other is that the material is so thick that where it was trimmed at the waist band seam it is a little tiny bit bulky, but again its not a huge deal, and not a deal at all if you opt to wear a belt.

Love this dress!This dress is actually pretty heavy and a decent made fabric. The fabric is a bit stretchy and there is some elasticiity with it. I really liked this dress - for me ( I am 5' 7 ') it came to a little above my knee and I felt was very flattering cut wise. I got a lot of compliments regarding the dress when I wore it. I have a lot of Maeve products and feel that some of their dresses are good, others not so much - this is one of the great ones! Would recomend!
Great but not for everyone!This dress is very well made and designed. I sometimes feel that Anthro is overpriced, but this item is well worth the money due to how substantial it feels (it's lined, and the fabric is robust without being too heavy for spring). I especially liked the way the lining is a couple of inches shorter than the shell of the dress; it adds a sexy touch to an otherwise demure shift. The colours on the dress, especially the coral, are brighter than pictured, and this is the main reason I'll be returning the 00P I bought, rather than sizing up (it was a little snug for me). Also, ladies be warned, the dress while beautiful is not terribly forgiving. If you have even the slightest bit extra for love handles or around the waist, or if you would simply prefer not to emphasise your bum, I'd steer clear. I think the reason is that the design naturally draws attention to your shape, and the cut is not quite empire but slightly above your natural waist. Even if I sized up to a 0P, I think I'd still encounter the same problem. Such a shame!
Beautiful!I have a curvy figure and am 5'-3" around 155 lbs. Thanks to another review I knew that size 10 would be my best bet. Luckily the 10 fits beautifully! It hugs my curves and the colours are so vibrant. I love the material and quality of this dress. The only small peeve is that the arms do run a bit smaller then I'd like but the dress is still comfortable and flattering.

Even better in personOK. Pics do NOT do this poncho justice. Online I kind of looked at this like "oh, ok, cute, next..." but that is impossible to do when you see it in person. It is just too cute for words. The maze color is so darn pretty. And there are these ADORABLE button closures under the sleeves. The design is awesome. Fits TTS, IMO. I vacillate between M and L, and because of the sleeve style I went with the large. If you tend to go between sizes and you have a small upper body frame, I would go to your lower end. If you are like me and have broad shoulders and larger arms, I would go with your larger size. The ONLY caveat I would write is the sleeves are dolman. It comes down to a preference thing; for me, I am just not a huge fan of the style. But with that written this poncho can pull it off. Get this sweater! It will work with jeans, leggings, and even skirts and is perfect for casual nights or can even be dressed up for the office. A real winner!
Want One In Every Color!Purchased the Maize! I love, love, love it. Bought a Petite Medium. This Poncho is very forgiving, so I believe if you get your regular size or go up one size, it will fit perfectly. I am coming back and purchasing the Ivory. If I could I would also get the Two remaining colors. This is this perfect length for me. I am 5' and 125 lbs if this helps anyone. I think I could of gotten a small but love the way the medium fit. The sleeves are also the perfect length. Very cuddly sweater and oh soooo flattering. This was money well spent. It's like putting on your favorite sweatshirt, as far as comfort, only you look so classy in this! Love the design in the Poncho also. Honestly some one hit it out of the park on this one as far as design. If your size is available, grab one before there Gone. Highly recommend this sweater!
Beautiful addition to your fall wardrobeWhen I saw this sweater in the catalog I was instantly obsessed and so happy when I saw it in person at my local Anthro store. I tried on both the M and L as I tend to run in between sizes. Both sizes fit, but I felt that sizing up was best for my frame. I am broader through the shoulders then the hips and I have a longish torso. Although the M fit, whenever I raised my arms the sweater came up too much for my comfort showing my tummy. I would say that if you have a smaller frame up top, go with your normal size but if you have a longer torso or broader shoulders, size up. The sweater is made of cotton for anyone whose skin is sensitive to wool. My only complaint is the price, I hate paying full price, but the detailing on the sweater won me over and I thought that this is the kind of sweater that will not see the sales rack for a long time. I plan to wear this sweater with skinny jeans and cute flats or riding boots.

Amazing!I thought that I had found a pair of jeans that I loved when I found the Abercrombie jeans 5 years ago. They fit nice, albeit a little tight in the legs, but were very soft and comfortable. But now that I've essentially outgrown their demographic, I thought I'd try a new pair of jeans. I've been wearing the pilco stet's for a while, and they were nice (and 19.95 in clearance!) but they weren't a perfect fit. So I tried some ag jeans on in store the other day, only I wasn't ready to pay 213$ for them. So when I found this pair in clearance, I was over joyed! They fit perfectly, which is amazing seeing as if jeans fit my legs, they are always too loose in the waist (years of being a back catcher made my thighs slightly disproportionally thick). These jeans wash up amazingly, and they don't stretch out. I'm not usually one to wear jeans multiple times before washing, but I was running late and threw these on, and they looked as good on day two as they did day one. I can't wait to run out and grab another pair. I would highly recommend these jeans!
A closet stapleI have often favored other brands of high end jeans (always on sale!), but had never tried on AG jeans until one day when I was perusing the Anthro sale room and stumbled across some. I have been on the hunt for a "normal" wash pair of AG jeans on sale ever since. I am slender and moderately tall (5'7'), but have a rounder rear. These jeans (in Landing) hug my figure without lookiing or feeling too tight. Length is typically a problem for me too; I have a pretty long waist which means sometimes full-length jeans are a bit longer on me than I prefer. These hit right where they should and also look great cuffed as well. They're also lightweight enough to wear throughout most of the year, even in my midwest/south region. Like another reviewer, I would put an asterick on the 5 star rating due to the price (though the sale price helps).
Perfect for petites!Thank you Anthro and AG for offering the classic Stevie in petite sizes! I love the regular Stevie cut but have always had to scrunch and roll up the hem so during the recent free shipping promotion, I ordered the petite version in both grey and blue in 25P (I'm usually a size 25), thinking I would try them on for size but keep only one pair given the high price. The fit is so perfect and flattering, and it's so hard to find such well fitting jeans, I decided to splurge and keep both pairs. I've already worn them both multiple times so I think they're a good investment in keeping with typical AG quality. Fellow petites, these trump the Stevie Ankle! I believe they're a genuine petite cut - not only is the hem shorter but the overall fit is tailored down and slimmer at the knee and opening. I'm 5'2" so these may be a tad short for taller petites. Note that the blue color way feels softer than the grey, but the grey is also a perfect neutral. Highly recommend these jeans and only wish that Anthro carried petite sizes in stores so that other petites could try them on.

Adorable AND flattering!As the previous reviewer pointed out, despite the name of this skirt it is not remotely a Fairisle pattern: definitely more Southwestern. Whatever the pattern, the colors are fantastic. And the fit is even better! Cut closely enough to hug the curves, but in a thick enough material to camouflage any slight lumps & bumps. I'm just under 5'5" and the length on me is approx the same as on the model, perhaps slightly longer. It really does create a nice long, lean silhouette, even if you're not especially tall. Like a flowy breezy maxi is a great alternative in the summer, I think this will be an equally great fall/winter alternative to the standard skinny jeans & boots. And while I sometimes struggle with what footwear to pair with a maxi in the winter, this looked great with the booties I had on when I tried it at the store. Quality seems very good (overpriced, as most Anthro items are, but different enough to make it worthwhile). I have not worn it repeatedly or washed it yet, but this is one of those Anthro buys I'm really excited about!
love this skirtI love this skirt, I too, wish they would make it in another print. I also like to wear my shirts out because I am short waisted. I have only worn it once so far, and I wore it with a black fitted tank top, a grey Saturday sunday moto jacket from last year, and black lizard cowboy boots. I also plan to wear a black pleather moto jacket, a black lace tank top and black frye harness boots. I think it goes well with denim as well, a denim jacket and a black tank top beneath., with some black clogs.
Even Prettier in PersonI bought online and it's even prettier in person! I wasn't sure whether to order a XS or S. I'm 5'5" 118 lbs. with a small waist and fuller hips/thighs. I went with a small and it fits perfect IF I wear it lower than my normal waist line. The wide-banded elastic waistband allows you to adjust for perfect fit on your waist/hips. This will naturally affect the length of the skirt. Its much shorter than I expected--so even more the reason to wear it below my natural waist. Though a XS would have fit my waist better, it would not have been long enough. As such, I will only be able to wear flat or very low heels. All things considered, I absolutely LOVE it !! The colors are vibrant, the material is high quality (of course!), and the flow and fit are very comfy. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

As much as the term may scream cliché, "jam band" has come to represent a springboard from which imaginative artists can create progressive variations on the vocabulary popularized by the likes of Phish and the Dead. Formed 10 years ago in typical fashion—on the campus of Philadelphia's U Penn as a frat-house-haunting regular—Disco Biscuits stick closer to the fence, managing to expand jam-band vocabulary while remaining faithful to it. The Biscuits fire on all cylinders when they step away almost entirely and land with both feet in their own rather soulful brand of rock. Fans and newcomers can revel in both faces of the Disco Biscuits on not one but two just-released live albums, both of which demonstrate the Biscuits' penchant for slow-building atmospheres and solid rock song structure...even as they tear it to shreds. 18+.

'Would You Like Some Ice?' More Hotels Take The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is showing no signs of slowing down. The viral video campaign has gone from your Facebook friends to friends of your Facebook friends to kids of your Facebook friends to celebrities, athletes, pop stars and anyone else who feels like getting noticed for pouring ice water over their heads. And hotels always want to be noticed.
We wrote about the Novotel Times Square's ice bucket challenge the other week and it set off a flurry of other hotels doing ice bucket challenges. There is literally no end in sight for the ice bucket challenges. But here are a few of the notable hotel ones:
For starters the SOFITEL NEW YORK answered the challenge from the Novotel, made a donation and then went onto challenge a couple more sister properties.
THE PENINSULA PARIS had their Peninsula pages submit to the challenge.
They then went onto challenge PENINSULA BEVERLY HILLS who, since California is in a drought, used leftover ice cubes from the restaurant and pool water.

Glamping For Mustang Fans (Not the Car) at the Mustang Monument Eco Ranch
Luxurious tipis/teepees like these should help you forget that the bathrooms are next door.
Here's a summer glamping opportunity you can feel good about--a Wild West safari that contributes to the preservation of our nation's wild Mustangs. The Mustang Monument Eco-Resort and Preserve offers an up-close and personal experience of these beautiful wild animals along with some pretty cool accommodations to retire to.
This is a true wildlife sanctuary created by Madeleine Pickens--as in the former Mrs.T Boone Pickens-- who founded the Saving America's Mustangs Foundation. The Mustang Monument is spread across 900 square miles south of Wells, Nevada, where the views are pretty much the same in all directions. All desert, all the time. This is an all-inclusive luxury eco-resort offering two types of accommodations, the "Luxury Tipi" and the "Cottage."

You'll Never Guess One of The Most Popular Items in This Hotel's Minibar
Nope, it's not a Snickers bar or a can of Coke. It's actually hand sanitizer.
The Hotel Sorella, a 255-room luxury hotel in Houston, discovered that the 25-count box of single-use, b4 antibacterial hand sanitizer disposable gel outsells nearly every other item in the minibar. The only two things people take more are, funnily enough, vodka and water.
The $6 product is obviously a good thing to grab for when guests leave the hotel room and hit the city streets (Just so you know, there is soap in the bathrooms too. Lol.) But the hotel says it's actually the bigger purpose of the b4 sanitizer that gets people to buy. b4 donates half the profits from the sales to children-focused charities of The Midway Foundation. And that's one minibar purchase we can't feel guilty about.
Rates at Hotel Sorella start at $169 next weekend for a traditional king room.

How Much Are You Willing to Pay for Green and Energy Saving Hotel Amenities?
Even though common sense tells us that"green initiatives," such as not washing towels and sheets every day, should make things cheaper in the long run, we haven't exactly been seeing hotel rates drop just because a property puts a card on our pillow and a key-activated power switch on the wall.
Sometimes it seems like hotels regard these features as things they might even be able to charge more for, as if they were some must-have amenity that directly enhances our stay.
And we guess part of that makes sense, since big projects, such as installing wind turbines on the roof, are the equivalent of a renovation for hotels and come with an upfront cost. We'd be silly to think part of that cost wouldn't be passed on to the consumer.

These Real Hotels of The O.C. Are Doing Their Part to Save Asian Elephants
You hardly need another good reason to visit Dana Point, Calif. as it's one of the most scenic spots in the country, populated with great resorts. But you will need to hurry up and plan your visit if you're hoping to catch the final weeks of the area's Elephant Parade which ends on November 17.
The Elephant Parade is a huge public art exhibition that showcases colorfully decorated, life-size baby elephant sculptures created by local and international artists (and some celebrities too.) It's totally free to see as the elephants are placed in high-pedestrian traffic areas and frequently visited spots around Dana Point, including the Harbor, local beaches, public parks and several resorts. Check out which elephants can be found where in Dana Point right here.
You can also scope out the elephants from your hotel room, so long as you're staying at one of the sponsoring resorts which are St. Regis Monarch Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, Marriott Laguna Cliffs Resort and Spa (where the grand auction will be held), and DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Doheny Beach. We're partial to the ellies out in front at the St. Regis but the Ritz-Carlton does boast a cute elephant done by Holly Branson, Sir Richard's daughter.
If you see an elephant that really catches your eye, then you can bid on it during the Grand Auction at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott on November 17th. A portion of the sale proceeds will go to the Asian Elephant Foundation. The Elephant Parade itself started in 2006 as a way to raise awareness, and money for the Asian Elephant whose population has shrunk over 90 percent. Today, about 3,500 Asian elephants remain, compared to 35,000 in 1960 and only about 1,500 elephants live in the wild.

Shangri-La Starts a 'Points for Charity' Effort, But Who Really Benefits?
With the holiday season just a month or so away (sorry to be the bearer of bad news), Shangri-La is giving members of its Golden Circle rewards program the opportunity to help out two Hong Kong based charities, Oxfam Hong Kong (which aids poverty and disaster relief) and MedArt (which brings care to those in long-term confinement, such as prisons, psychiatric institutions, hospices, homes for the elderly, etc).
For every 1,000 points given by a member, Golden Circle will donate $20 to one of the charities on the member's behalf. The minimum donation starts at 2,000 points and can be increased by increments of 1,000 up until a maximum of 10,000, equivalent to a $200 cash donation. Members may donate by visiting the "Redeem Points" section on Golden Circle's website.
The donated points are forfeited from your account in exchange for the donation made by Golden Circle. How much these points are actually worth varies. For example, at a Shangri-La "collection A" hotel, a standard room is worth 1,000 points/night. At the highest tier of hotels, "collection G," a standard room is worth 20,000 points. So, a guest who donates 2,000 points sacrifices a two-night stay and the hotel donates $40 to charity.

The Paramount Hotel's New Pop-Up Shop Supports Star-Studded Central Park Concert
We like when a hotel does good deeds and that was the case last week when the retail space at New York City's Paramount Hotel was converted into a funky pop-up shop to benefit the Global Citizen Festival on September 28th.
Superstar musicians Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Kings of Leon and John Mayer will play a free concert this weekend at Central Park to a crowd supporting the Global Poverty Project.
For those unfamiliar with the organization which is in its second year of giving such concerts, GPP has partnered with Cotton On Foundation to create a venue called the Global Citizen Pop Up Store at Free & The Brave.
Their limited-edition products--from cool vintage-style t-shirts (so affordable) designed by celebrity supporters of the cause, concert photography by Danny Clinch, and signed artist memorabilia
Their limited-edition products--from cool vintage-style t-shirts (so affordable) designed by celebrity supporters of the cause, concert photography by Danny Clinch, and signed artist memorabiliawill be sold in Paramount's dedicated (but temporary shop) until October 16th. All proceeds will go to to the charity, which supports communities in Uganda.
Their focus? The Zero Poverty 2030 campaign, which seeks one million citizens to call on world leaders to continue efforts to end extreme poverty by the year 2030.

Should a Portion of Hotel Room Rates Go to Charity?
Over the past few years, we've seen a variety of attempts by charities to grab the loose change from people's pockets--the most common example being the option to round up to the nearest dollar and donate the difference at the grocery store checkout. But this trend is also spreading to the travel industry.
Airlines have gotten on board, both on-site and in the booking process. Jaunted reported in April that UNICEF's "Change for Good" charity campaign would ask travelers for their excess change at the end of a flight, and you can now also "round up" when purchasing a ticket on certain airlines.
So naturally, we can't help but wonder if hotels will get on board too. We've seen some hotels here and there donating a portion of the room rate to a specific charity cause but that only happens if a guest books a specific package that mentions the donation. And the donation is usually only offered for a short period of time. Yet what if hotels began taking a small percentage of the room rate--all the time, on every booking, no matter what--and gave that to charity?

Lessons In Cute: Swooning Over the Fullerton Hotel's Bellhop Bear
You know those people who can't walk by a pet store without coo-ing over the adorable puppies in the window? Or, say, walk around a mall without popping their head in every darn shoe store? Well, that's pretty much us when it comes to cute teddy bears, and we totally fell for this little guy on a recent spin through the lobby at Singapore's Fullerton Hotel.
Dubbed the "Fullerton Bellhop Bear," he is one of four collectible stuffed animals being offered by the iconic hotel.
The complete Fullerton Bear collection includes: The Fullerton Postmaster Bear (referencing the hotel's history as a former post office), The Fullerton Bellhop Bear (pictured), The Fullerton Bay Ship Captain and The Fulleron Panda Plush Bear.
And just in case you're rolling your eyes right now at the frivolity of this post, keep in mind that the sale from each bear goes towards supporting two charities chosen by the hotel: Mainly I Love Kids (MILK), and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF- Singapore). The fundraising initiative started last year with just the Postmaster Bear, but due to its popularity, the hotel debuted the other 3 bears this past April.

The Manager of the Lancaster London Has Gone Off The Building
Last week, we had a general manager living in a bubble to promote his hotel. This week, a hotel manager has abseiled off the side of building to support a charity.
Sally Beck, who works as manager of the Lancaster London, joined 100 thrill-seeking volunteers today in plunging down the side of the hotel, which is one of London's tallest hotels. Of course, they were all safely strapped in and wearing helmets but still, that's quite a big commitment to make.
Yet the experience is worth it as all funds will go towards Springboard's "Kickstart Programme", which supports young school and college leavers with their first step onto the career ladder.
A brave soul who abseiled off the hotel last year.
Want to glimpse the gorgeous views of London from the Lancaster without hurling yourself off the building? Rates this summer start at $200 a night.
Are you a general manager about to engage in a wacky stuff either to promote your hotel or to help out a charity? We wanna hear about it! So send us all the crazy details here.

50 Cent Wants To Wake You Up At The Strand Hotel
We know how hard it can be getting out of bed sometimes. We normally use our iPhone alarm to jolt us awake (followed by a big cup of strong black tea), but we're aware there are other more soothing ways to get the job done. Like...a wake-up call from Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson when you stay at The Strand in New York City.
Sound crazy? Here's a little background: 50 Cent, along with entrepreneur Chris Clarke, founded a line of all-natural energy drinks known as SK Energy Shots back in 2011 (actually, the product name was originally Street King, but in 2012 it got abbreviated to the less confrontational "SK".) Better yet, the SK Energy brand has a philanthropic mission, with every energy shot sold providing a meal to a hungry child through the United Nations World Food Programme.
Now, the Strand has partnered with SK to offer the energy shots in all 176 guest rooms. But to really help raise awareness, the hotel is offering the option of a (pre-recorded, duh) wake-up call from Mr. P-I-M-P himself. No further details have been released, though we're wondering, if it happens to be your birthday, do you get your name called out in a special rendition of In Da Club?

The Best Bouillabaisse and Cioppino in L.A.?
My enduring love for all things that swim, squirm, and filter means that my most ideal dish consists of a proper representation of all above. Hence, my obsession with the two rustic fish soups, the Bouillabaisse and Cioppino. I have thus set forth on a mission to taste and rate every single example of these two dishes in the greater Los Angeles area. If anyone could lead me toward restaurants that list either of these dishes on their menus, I would be eternally grateful. Feel free to include or exclude your personal thoughts on the experience- I will most likely try them on my own either way. Thanks!
I had a very nice Cioppino dish at Vivoli Cafe and Trattoria in West Hollywood. It's located in a mini-mall, but very charming inside.
Vivoli Cafe
7994 Sunset Blvd
West Hollywood, Ca 90046
(Two Block West Fairfax)
323 656 5050
So you wish to sample and rate "ALL" the Bouillabisse the Los Angeles area has to offer?
Well here are 13 places to get you started:
La Cachette - French - Century City-ish
Chez Mimi - French - Santa Monica
Frenchy's Bistro - French - Long Beach
Basilic - Swiss/French - Newport Beach
The Arches - Old American - Newport Beach
Pascal - French - Newport Beach
Riveria at the Fireside - Continental - Westminister
Bistro 45 - Cal/French - Pasadena
The Seashell - Seafood - Woodland Hills
La Dijonaise - French - Culver City
Bel Air Bar & Grill - American - Bel Air
Barsac - Cal/French - North Hollywood
On the Waterfront Cafe - Swiss - Venice
I look forward to reading your reviews and I'll leave the Cioppino spots to someone else. And no I haven't consumed all those Bouillabaises, I realize there are some great restaurants in that list and some not so great, and I hope they're all still in business.
re: JBC
I would add Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at Mimosa
re: chica
After reading many fine reviews of Mimoso we finally went for the Bouillabaise and it deserves a place near the top of the worst restaurants in L. A. list. There was no lobster or crab in it to save money said the manager who served the dish and spilled much of it on the floor. The French onion soup and greasy pork appetizer and tough beef stew also are unworthy of mention.
The late Delmonico's Seafood Grille on Pico Blvd. had great Zuppa Alla Pescatore, their version of Cioppino, but they and it are gone now.
re: Barbara Ladden
There's Delmonico's Lobster House in Encino, is that any relation?
re: Das Ubergeek
Used to be but has not been for around 5 years or so since Tony bought the Encino location.
re: Das Ubergeek
We once asked at Delmonico's on Pico about the Encino location and were told that the chef or cook left Pico and opened in Encino using the same name and menu but there was no connection between the 2 restaurants. The people we talked to weren't clear on details or wouldn't/couldn't give details on just what happened and the legalities. We'll never know.
re: Barbara Ladden
Would not deny your thoughts on Mimosa.
Had as bad a meal for Bastille Day last year, yet went to Pastis 3 blocks to the west, south side of the street, and the place was packed, the food was good, and they were serving until at least midnight, yet Mimosa was closing by 10:30.
In fact, went to a wine tasting dinner at Pastis this past Thursday, and the food continues to be very solid, and way beyond whatever that slop is that Mimosa passes off on people.
But Mimosa looks nice!
but so does Pastis, in an up-to-date Paris bistro kind of way.
re: JBC
Thank you for giving me so many locations to pick from! I was in Pasadena last night so I made a reservation for Bistro45 with the sole intention of trying their Bouillabaise. I recommend this restaurant for anyone and everyone. From the moment we walked in the door, the service was supreme (the kind where you water glass is never empty and you have a fresh folded napkin between every dish). We sat on the patio, which was nicely heated and with a very charming garden feel, full with a mini fountain and true ivy crawling up the walls. Their wine list was impressive, with a fresh suggestion for everyone of their main dishes. I took their red wine suggestion for my soup and the pairing was spot on. Finally; the food. Very very good indeed. The main portion of the soup was a monkfish, surrounded with mussels, clams, one large shrimp and two scallops. The monkfish was delicate, but the flavor was lost in the sometime spicy broth. The mussels were good, but not as large or delicate as I have had in the past. The shrimp was the biggest disappointment, it was cooked a little too long and was tough. But the scallops....oh the scallops! They were little mini custards, so soft and flavorful! All in all, a great suggestion and it has made my list of the top ten. The only one in LA that is better that I have tried so far is the one from La Cachette, which I tried months before and I still remember fondly. Thanks agan, happy Easter, and I will keep slurping and marching on with my quest!
re: epop
I have been to La Cachette and I loved the entire experience. Their bouillabaisse was my favorite in Los Angeles so far (the best I have ever had was in Las Vegas and San Fran). However, I called Jiraffe two days ago, and they do not have a bouillabaisse on their menu right now, Is it a special, or have they just taken it off their menu?
Pastis on beverly at Crescent Heights has a very tasty french bouillabaisse-
also really like their mussels
JiRaffe in Santa Monica on 5th has a cioppino that is either on their regular menu or else it is a special EVERY time I have ever been there. My dad and brother always get it.....
re: msmd310
i like their bouillabaise (jiraffe), never seen a cioppino there, and i go often.
re: anothernotch
Seeing this post again, I am compelled to update my last post. My wife and I were recently back at 17th street and found to food, on whole, to be okay at best. I, however, would avoid the Cioppino - I was unaware that it was possible to deflavorize the dish.
re: anothernotch
I agree with you. Stick to Jiraffe, as they make a fine one
Me thinks you will be eating seafood stew for a long time.........looking foward to your ongoing reports
For the best cioppino you might as well go to where all the other cioppino-makers get their fish... there's a small eat-in area at Fish King in Glendale and they make fantastic cioppino.
Kings Fishouse has a great Cioppino & La Frite Cafe in Woodland Hills For their Boulliabase on Fridays in the fall & winter
I had a pretty mediocre version last week at Literati 2 in Brentwood. Much better version a couple of weeks before that down the street at Punch Grill in Santa Monica.
In the San Pedro/Rancho Palos Verdes area, check out the fresh cioppino at the old-school Admiral Risty. It has won several local cioppino contests
re: alexfood
i like the restaurant but found their bouillabaise decent but not
particularly flavorful. prefer jiraffe's.
cioppino: sor tino in brentwood has made a fairly good one
These are all pretty high end suggestions. On Abbot Kinney, south of Venice Blvd is the French Market Cafe. A fantastic little ex-pat place with a charcuturie menu and great coffee and pastries. They also serve a fish soup with crouton, remulade, and gruyere. The soup is a spicy, tomato, saffron broth with loads of flaked up fish (which I think is monkfish). It is essentially boullabaisse without the shellfish and its priced appropiately. I would eat a bowl of this anyday over some bland, overpriced, impotent attempt of this great peasant food!
re: markethej
I quite like the French Market Cafe. Very unpretentious -- typical Veniceites bring their dogs to the patio. Very home-y, like what a cafe should be in France, but writ beachy.
Fish King's definitely not high-end, though -- I believe a bowl of cioppino is $6.
re: Das Ubergeek
Another yes for French Market Cafe. The original owners sold it and took off back to France, but not before offering alot of guidance and assistance to the new owners (new as in about five years). The transition was nearly transparent, and people still flock to this place - locals and ex-pats alike. I have never been disappointed with any of their dishes, in fact find all of them pretty darned magnifique...
You should also check out Soon Tofu joints in Koreatown, as it is an Asian rendition of a seafood stew. The best I've had is Beverly Soon Tofu, but people also like Sokongdong. BCD Tofu House is also open 24 hours a day, if you need a seafood stew fix at 3:30am.
For traditional bouillabaisse/cioppino, I like Cafe Provencal in Thousand Oaks.
re: SauceSupreme
Do they all have tofu along with the seafood?
re: broncosaurus
It's been a few years, but we had an amazing cioppino at Moonshadows in Malibu. I know that's not a hot destination, but we dropped in and had a great surprise. We've not been back as DH hates to drive to Malibu, but the dish was solid.
We also had a lovely fish soup more recenlty at Trattoria Olivia on Van Nuys in Sherman Oaks. Not the traditional cioppino, but a great broth with lobster and other fish.
re: broncosaurus
Yes, they make tofu daily, and in the soup it results in giving it body. Add in the poached egg for richness.
Had a good cioppino at King's Fish House in Long Beach a couple of years back. The East Coast in-laws liked it was well.
For a low-brow cioppino, try the Hermosa Beach Fish Market on Pier Avenue. For a more upscale version try the Enterprise Fish Company in Santa Monica.
I will have to second Admiral Risty's cioppino. It is really good, the service is excellent and if you go at sunset the view is quite nice.
The cioppino at Colori Kitchen is really nice. Nice broth, tons of seafood (no crab though--mussels, shrimp, clams, prawn, and a fresh filet of fish last time), great garlic bread. But the best part is the price: $22.
It is a special, so you should call ahead to make sure they have it. Oh, and they don't serve alcohol, so you can bring your own with no corkage.
429 W 8th St
Los Angeles, CA 90014
(213) 622-5950
It's one of my favorite local places downtown (Other include the chicken pot pie at Woodspoon and the beef kebabs and baba ganoush at the Sultan).
re: baxter850
I will second Colori's.
re: tissue
I third Colori
Every Friday night and Saturday they serve a killer boulliabaise at the Normandie Club Casino in Gardena....Go Figure!!! I would love the recipe.
I have had Cioppino twice at the Pine/Broadway Long Beach location...the first time was UNBELIEVABLE and the second time EXCELLENT...the first time I believe the broth was slow cooked longer so it was very complex, but both times the flavor was amazing. I have Cioppino all over, and this has been the best broth I have tasted, by far.
If anyone has had this, and thinks another restaurant's Cioppino is better, I am interested to hear....
King's Fish House
100 W Broadway Ste 1000, Long Beach, CA 90802
Clancy's in Glendale has the best soup base for their cioppino. It could use a couple more crab legs in it - I have been thinking of sneaking some in my jacket pocket to supplement.
No mention of the Friday night bouillabaisse at Pann's ( www.panns.com )? From the menu: "Prepared to Order Large Tiger Shrimps, Clams, Jumbo Scallops, Fresh Fish, Aromatic Vegetables and Rice Pilaf Cooked in a Light Broth Served with Garlic Toast ... 13.99."
I've never had it, because I invariably get the clam chowder on Fridays (with either fried chicken or southern-fried pork chops), but I've always wondered. Hmm. This is Friday, so a quick answer might determine my dinner.
Pann's Restaurant & Coffee Shop
6710 La Tijera Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045
re: Harry Nile
I was just about to recommend Pann's. I, too, go there on Friday nights for their fantastic Clam Chowder. A big bowl of steaming seafood has never been my thing, but I have to say that if one could taste appearance, their bouillabaisse would win the pageant. There's so much seafood, it looks ready to climb out of the enormous bowl. At the price, it's worth a try. And have their biscuit on the side. OHMIGOD Pann's biscuits are incredible!
re: fashunchik
We thought Pann's bouillabaisse was pretty amazing, considering a coffee shop would even offer this. It's not the best that we've had, but it's still good. Throw in a side of wings and we're all set. :)
I am excited to see this thread and try some of these. I am almost embarrassed to admit I had a Cioppino that I adored once at Gladstone's. . . not a place I usually enjoy the food. Anyone who might have once had that dish when it was on the menu know which of all these suggestions is closest? What I ate was full of warm, savory spices, and a multitude of seafood,felt rich and worth sopping with bread, and not oily or heavy. I have since tried a few cioppinos and gotten a too-sweet, not spicy, unsatisfying dish each time, except one old-school place I went in Denver! It's put me off trying, but this is a great list.
Had Le Cacchette's bistro's bouillabaisse for the first time. I'm disappointed to see a great restaurant drop so much in ambiance. They used to have one of the last enjoyable dining rooms in California, where every table was given space and a view. Now it is the same old let's make a cafeteria look fancy by lowering the lights and stuffing you into a corner.
The Bouillabaisse was totally different than before in their old space. So thick it was almost a gumbo (I tasted no fennel or saffron but I guess it was in there).
The service was annoying. Disappointing overall. I will write up a longer review.
re: epop
11061 Los Alamitos Boulevard, Los Alamitos, California 90720.
Being from the NorthWest, I wanted a tast of home. The Cioppino was very good and harty. From LA it is worth the drive. Other seafood on the menu are very good as well.
A couple of recommendations here from 2009 for Church and State. My wife had their bouillabaisse a few months ago. It had a decent broth and a sizable amount of fresh shellfish but it had very little, if any fish. Good, but not really bouillabaisse even w/ the requisite saffron aoli & toast. The server explained that the chef uses only the freshest ingredients. Which made perfect sense, what w/ LA being so far from the ocean. Despite that, C&S is a terrific resto.
Didn't see Musso & Frank mentioned, so I will Very good cioppino on Fridays. Old school Hollywood w/ consistently well done classics.

Andrew Bird is a singer-songwriter and violinist-for-hire who spent some time in the late '90s with quirky swing-band revivalists the Squirrel Nut Zippers. A few years ago, he moved from Chicago to a northwestern Illinois farming community where his family owned a barn, which he fancied turning into a recording studio and living space removed from the bustle of the big city.
"I thought I was gonna come and bring my band out here and make a record," he says on the phone, "but it became much more of a place to get into a vacuum with my own ideas and just completely control everything." Weather Systems, the first record he made at the barn, sounds like that vacuum--it's full of quiet art-folk tunes that are about stillness even when they're not. Bird's new album, The Mysterious Production of Eggs, is another work of concentrated oddity: Bird whistles a lot and sings in a deadpan tenor (often in eerie harmony with his pal Nora O'Connor) about what a guy who lives "in a barn in the middle of nowhere" thinks of popular culture. He did venture to studios in Chicago, Nashville and L.A. to record bits of the album, but he played most of the instruments himself and applies an exacting attention to detail throughout. "I learned a lot making Weather Systems," he says, "and I still had some ways to go." Andrew Bird opens for Ani DiFranco.

A CHEF who assaulted his partner twice and broke his bail conditions within six minutes has been jailed for eight weeks.
Paul Justin Conlan, 35, was sentenced at Flintshire Magistrates Court at Mold yesterday.
Prosecutor Justin Espie said Marie Edwards called police on July 9 at about 11pm and said she had been assaulted by her partner after a night out around Mold town centre.
A condition of his bail was he should not contact Ms Edwards directly or indirectly either himself or through anyone else.
"The main aggravating feature is the defendant breached his bail within six minutes of being charged," said Mr Espie.
"That resulted in a further allegation of harassment."
Mr Espie said at 4.01pm on July 10 Conlan used his mobile phone to ring the victim who also received several text messages from his brother.
The text messages pleaded with her to talk to Conlan to sort everything out.
One message read: "The police have told him to offer you the olive branch" which Mr Espie described as "misinformation".
He added: "The defendant then breached bail again by sending a 'What's App' message saying 'I'm pressing charges'."
The victim suffered a black eye, bruises to her ribs, a small cut above her eye and had hair pulled out.
She had not requested a restraining order however and decided to take him camping over the bank holiday weekend, driving him from his home in Chirk to the campsite in Aberystwyth.
On Saturday evening, a bickering argument developed between the couple and another camper, bearing a mallet, intervened.
Conlan was arrested following the incident, was refused bail and travelled up to Mold yesterday.
Chris Jesse, defending, said Conlan thought the trip would not breach his bail as Ms Edwards had initiated the contact.

Hello, today I redeemed the AMD Never settle promo and I got Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon Uplay Promo codes. I want to ask if I can save the codes for later, because my brother has a birthday in November and would like to give it to him.
In the email with the codes is written that key codes must be used by October 22, but I'm assuming that means only the Coupon code redeemable on amd.com. The Uplay code will not expire, will it?
I think you should ask U-play.

Buffet Menu for 70 People
We are planning a holiday party for 75 people, served buffet-style. The main dish that I have in mind is boneless chicken breasts in a morel cream sauce. I'd normally serve that with buttered egg noodles, but am thinking that the buffet requires something that holds better and is possibly more colorful. The potato gratins that I've used on buffets seem wrong with a cream sauce on the chicken. Any suggestions for some great accompaniments?
Thanks in advance.
re: Caroline1
Sorry I didn't specify. Some will be seated while others mingle. I envision using chicken tenders and serving manageable bite-size pieces.
re: btnfood
With some people eating while standing, mashed or chunk potatoes of some sort get extra credit - noodles and rice are more likely to slip off the fork, and with sauce on them that can mean soiled clothing.
re: greygarious
Agree about the mashed taters.
A barley or rice dish might be a nice pairing with that, too. I love barley and mushrooms together!!
Simple mashed sweet potatoes, rather than a gratin, would be a colorful alternative to noodles or regular mashed potatoes. Pioneer Woman's Crash Potatoes are also delicious and have a lot of visual appeal (google that one or search on this board). I'd go with dark green vegetables - spinach and/or broccoli.
re: greygarious
crispy sweet potato cakes were in my head and will hold for hours. nice textural contrast too.
i'm guessing you already have a veggie side?
re: hotoynoodle
or a grit cake would be lovely too
You could do a nice roasted vegetable rice pilaf: roast off some shallots, celery, garlic, diced winter squash (butternut or acorn squash and maybe even some brussels sprouts) Toast the rice in a little olive oil then add chicken or veggie stock; stir in the veggies at the end with some dried cranberries and maybe some fresh spinach & toasted walnuts. Colorful and a perfect match to chicken
Roasted red potatoes would be very nice, tossed with olive oil and rosemary, and not very labor intensive.
Red or purple rice is what I go for when I need a long-holding dish with color, and I usually add some diced red onion that's been sauteed until tender and translucent, sometime add julienned yellow bell pepper as well. I've found the red and purple rice at Whole Foods and Wegmans before.
Another idea (but I can't vouch for how well it holds for such a big crowd) would be noodle cakes -- cooked pasta like thin spaghetti or angel hair -- mixed with a little egg and melted butter and herbs and sauteed onion, and put in a rimmed sheet pan to about 1" thick and baked then cut into servings.
I'm personally a huge fan of simple buttered noodles with cream dishes (and with just about anything else, actually) so for more visual appeal, there's always tri-colored rotinis.
Especially for the mingling folks, those will pick up plenty of sauce and be easy to get a fork into.
I like to use Pappardelle or tagliatelle (ribbon shaped pasta) with meat or poultry in gravy or sauce. The large bold shape stands up to the gloopiness of the sauce. Trader Joe's carries them.
Your menu sounds nice, just be sure to have sturdy plates and good utensils. I'm thinking of the people that are standing and having to juggle and talk with a plate of food. I might even offer small wide bowls so the food is secured and easily eaten with just a fork.
I recently steamed some med small yukon golds, then smashed them and cooked them with garlic, parsley, onion, butter and olive oil. OMG, these guys were good. They had a little crunch and the potoates are so creamy and good. I think they'd be great with your chicken dish. They'd hold well in a chafing dish too, and no all that expensive. I might scatter some fresh spinach in there as well for color. A gathering of 75 you really want to make this easy on yourself.
My other though is a chicken breast with a tomato cream sauce served with rice. You have so many rices to choose from, yelllow rice with leeks, or wild rice, etc. This dish is always a winner and fairly simple to prepare.
Good luck!
Thanks to everyone for the excellent suggestions, which have inspired several dishes to go on the buffet. There will be lots of great colors and textures now.

Early Morning Fire Destroys Building
Reporter: WHSV News Staff
ROCKINGHAM COUNTY -- Investigators say the cause of this fire is still undetermined, but they say it could have started either from improperly discarded ash or ash that was stored in a wheelbarrow near the house. They also say there was nothing suspicious with the fire.
A fire destroyed a building next to a house on Tuesday morning. It happened on the 1200 block of Gravels Road.
The building is a complete loss. Inside were several items, including a motorcycle, a go-kart and antiques. The house next to it also sustained some damaged. No one was hurt.
The fire started just before 4 a.m. A woman living in the house said the building was built by her father.
Va Man Dies after Car Crashes into His House
Reporter: Virginia AP
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) -- A woman faces drunken driving charges after her car crashed into a house and killed an elderly man in Newport News.
Newport News police say 75-year-old Charles Stitt Sr. and his wife were standing in their kitchen when a car driven by 38-year-old Jennifer Mangum crashed into their house.
Police say Stitt's wife suffered non-threatening injuries and is in stable condition at a local hospital.
Mangun was charged with driving under the influence, DUI manslaughter, DUI maiming and reckless driving. The Newport News resident is being held at the Newport News City Jail. It wasn't known whether she has an attorney.
The accident occurred Monday afternoon.
Lifeguard Reminds Parents of Ways to Keep Children Safe Near Water
Reporter: Estephany Escobar
TIMBERVILLE, Va.-- The death of a 3-year-old boy in Shenandoah County reminds parents about the importance of being safe around water.
The sheriff's office recovered the body of the toddler in Cedar Creek after he went missing during a family function.
The cause of death has not been determined yet, however, drowning is suspected.
Brandon Sites, manager at the Memorial Park Pool in Timberville, said enough adults should supervise children when they are near the water.
He said one lifeguard is on the stand, if fewer than 25 people are at the pool. If there are more than 25 people, there are two lifeguards.
In addition, there are three lifeguards for more than 50 people.
He said when someone is in a river or a creek, there is no lifeguard watching. Therefore, people should use a buddy system, which means dividing kids into teams of two to look after each other.
"The water is a very fun place but it's also very dangerous. A lot of lives are lost each year swimming. It's a fun sport but you also have to make sure that you are doing it safely," said Sites.
He said if someone does not feel comfortable swimming or is in a deep area, that person should use a life jacket.
However, he advises kids to learn the basics of swimming to increase safety.

LA Kings Defenseman Willie Mitchell On Concussions: "I Get Into A Car Wreck Six Times A Night"
December 29, 2011 6 Comments
EL SEGUNDO, CA — We're not even at the halfway point of the 2011-12 National Hockey League season, but far too many players have already gone down due to concussions.
In no particular order, the NHL has lost stars like Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers, Milan Michalek of the Ottawa Senators, Jeff Skinner of the Carolina Hurricanes, and Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators, all to concussions.
Most notably, the league has also lost Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger, who is expected to miss the rest of the season, and Pittsburgh Penguins superstar forward Sidney Crosby is out indefinitely after a recurrence of post-concussion syndrome. Read more of this post

Notes from the Manager
There's been a bit of a fuss about Black Christmas -- not only because it's a Christmas horror movie, which is kind of retarded, because there have been plenty of those (including the original 1974 Black Christmas this new version is a remake of), but also because it opens on Christmas Day.
What I want to know is... so what?
How is this really more offensive than just any other blood and guts fest out there? I'm not a fan of the genre (although I must admit I enjoyed Nightmare on Elm Streets 1, 3, 4 and 5 as a teenager, because those films at least had a little imagination and some fun special effects), but shouldn't just the whole killing people thing be offensive enough to Christians, regardless of the fact that it's set on Christmas? Or have I just been blissfully unaware of the pro-Christian slasher flick genre all my life?
In more than one article I've read on the subject, they make special note that Christmas horror movies and other non-horror "anti-Christmas" films like Bad Santa never open on Christmas Day.
Well, no shit. It's not out of respect, folks. It's because by Christmas, people have already had their fill of Christmas: Christmas movies traditionally get a boost leading up to and on Christmas, drop a relatively normal amount for the next week, and then nosedive in January. (I'm basing this on a totally unscientific analysis of Christmas movies' weekly performances from the past several years at BoxOfficeMojo.com.)
By putting out a Christmas-themed horror movie on Christmas Day, I'm pretty sure the Weinsteins are either making a dumb move -- or, more likely, burying a film they know would bomb, while smartly going for broke at the same time, hoping for a huge opening week tally thanks to all the controversy this stunt release date has generated before it quietly disappears from theaters in three weeks.
I'd have done a strip about all this, if it wouldn't have been basically a rehash of the Da Vinci Code strip.

Beck's 2005 full-length Guerorevealed the folk-rock-rap-whatever artist's usual ironic self-awareness. The title, for one, translates to "white boy," belying a record drizzled with country twang, Mexican slang, grungy hip-hop, orchestral bossa nova, and electronica funk. Out of that mélange comes Guerolito, on which different producers have remixed every Guero track. The result is an album that displaces Beck's blues with a pseudo-dance-floor sheen, and while the former is missed, the latter seems a more natural fit for this premillennial ironist. On "Girl," French electronica duo Octet omits the song's least appealing vocals, which happen to be the hook ("heeeey, my summer girl"), and replaces it with a woeful sigh. John King's "Rental Car" also contains a counterintuitive masterstroke: steamrolling the original song's harpsichord lines, some of the prettiest phrases on Guero, into an indulgent outer-space synth beat that thumps like a danceable phaser fight. At the bottom of the album is a previously unreleased track, "Clap Hands," on which Beck teams with Odelay and Guero accomplices the Dust Brothers. Like so much of Guerolito, "Clap Hands" is good, clean booty-wiggling fun. It is Beck with the corners rounded, Guero as strawberry-lubed gel cap.

After my doctor ran some intestinal tests he said I had an excess of beta Glucuronidase and needed this supplement. Within a week the bloating and intestinal discomfort started improving. He said the beta Glucuronidase causes the hormones estrogen and thyroid to get reconjugated and taken back up again and reprocessed a second time through the liver, creating higher levels of these hormones. He said toxins and probiotics are similarly affected by the beta Glucuronidase.
noticeable and impressive improvement!

I've been taking 500-750mg/day for less than a month, and I'm already thrilled with the results I've seen. I take this along with DIM and vitex, and my PMS symptoms are much improved. Best of all, my skin started clearing up within the first week! I guess something was out of whack with my hormone metabolism, and all 3 seem to help. This will definitely become part of my permanent lineup. If you have a sensitive stomach, be careful to take this with meals or it can make you nauseous.
Excellent product for estrogen dominance

My doctor recommended this to help flush the excess estrogen from my system. Only one bottle was needed. Seemed to be very effective. Good liver support.
Wow, excellent product!

For the past few years my monthly cycle has been very unbalanced, sometimes it would be a week or two late, other times I'd completely miss one. This product has balanced me out! For once it has been right on time and only lasted 3 days instead of 5! Plus, no cramps! Amazing. It's been two weeks and I already love this product. As most will say, the pills are small but strangely thick (I hate swallowing any pills) so I crushed them all up in a coffee grinder as a powder and eat with yogurt, it works out perfect. 2 pills is all I need as suggested. I'll definitely be purchasing this again and highly recommend it to other women with unbalanced hormones/cycle problems.
