Choosing a duty-free ski resort can drastically reduce the cost of your holiday. Europe is home to three duty-free ski areas: Livigno in Italy, Samnaun in Switzerland, and the Principality of Andorra.
The shops in these ski resorts are exempt from excise duty tax and visitors can buy alcohol, perfumes, cigarettes, petrol, hi-tech products, and a lot more at very affordable prices.
What is duty-free shopping?
As in any duty-free area, purchases in Livigno, Samnaun, and Andorra are regulated by rules, which determine the quantity of tax-free goods for each person. On leaving Livigno, for example, you can carry a carton of cigarettes (equivalent to 200 units), two litres of alcoholic beverages of less than 22 percent alcohol, and three or four bottles of perfume. Other products are subject to a maximum value, which corresponds to €300 per person (€150 for kids under 15 years). It is necessary that the goods purchased are for personal use and not for trade. Duty-free allowance applying to Andorra is more generous.
Nothing prevents you from buying more items than specified in the regulations (excluding tobacco). In this case, however, you need to declare it at customs and pay taxes otherwise you risk a fine, confiscation of the goods, and a prosecution for smuggling.
Livigno, Italy
Livigno is a ski resort of international importance in Upper Valtellina (Sondrio province). The village lies in a wild and secluded valley at 1,800 metres. Its duty-free status is directly related to its isolated position: until 1952, when the pass Foscagno (linking Bormio to Livigno) was opened to traffic in winter, the village remained inaccessible for many months a year.
Duty-free shopping: Livigno, Italy
The village was built along the Spöl stream and is dotted with numerous shops and mini markets - more than 250! These are open seven days a week and sell everything you can possibly want or need: from perfumes to kitchenware, clothes, toys, specialty food, and electronics. You can of course buy tobacco, alcohol, and petrol as well. Many old stone and wood houses have been skilfully restored and are home to luxury boutiques rivalling those of the fashion district in Milan.
To skiers and snowboarders Livigno - home of champion Giorgio Rocca - offers 185 kilometres of slopes for all levels served by more than 30 modern lifts, a long track for cross-country skiing which runs through the valley, and two top snowparks. The ski area hosts high-level sports competitions, which attract famous athletes from around the world. Hospitality is guaranteed by more than 100 hotels, 1,250 apartments, bed and breakfasts, and inns for every budget. For après-ski skiers are spoiled for choice: pubs, wine bars, nightclubs, cinema, bowling, billiards, and hotel spas. The Tourist Promotion Agency organises lots of events throughout the season.
To get to Livigno in winter you can drive through Bormio or go from Switzerland, through the toll tunnel Munt La Schera, connecting Lower Engadine and Zernez to Livigno. The single lane gallery with alternating traffic has been open for individuals since 1968 and has made the journey much easier. When leaving Livigno, consider the queues that form at the customs exit, especially on weekends and holidays: the customs officers control the goods purchased and slow down the traffic.
Samnaun, Switzerland
Samnaun, the only duty-free zone of the Swiss Confederation, is located in the easternmost part of Switzerland, wedged between Austria and Italy. As in the case of Livigno, Samnaun's fiscal privileges are due to its particular geographical position.
Duty-free shopping: Samnaun, Switzerland
It is made up of five villages distributed along a secluded and landlocked valley, with an altitude range of 1700 to 1840 meters. Until 1912 the only road leading to Samnaun was the one from Spiss, Austria. To reach the rest of Switzerland the inhabitants of Samnaun had to cross the Austrian territory. For this peculiarity, Samnaun was for many centuries a haven for smugglers, who used to carry goods on their shoulders along the steep mountain paths. Today this "job" is remembered in the name of several businesses, footpaths and initiatives with the word "Schmuggler" (smuggler).
There are more than 50 shops concentrated mainly in Samnaun Dorf and - to a much lesser extent - in the adjacent village of Ravaisch. The areas Laret, Compatsch, and Plan have a maximum of three shops each, but are only four kilometres at most away from Dorf. The shops offer primarily branded perfumes and cosmetics, spirits and wines, tobacco, clothing and accessories, jewellery, and luxury items. Their opening times are unusually extensive for the Swiss standard. The many petrol stations offer automated service 24 hours a day.
The après-ski life takes place mostly in bars and pubs, and is much quieter than in Ischgl. The Spa Alpenquell-Erlebnisbad in Compatsch village, with swimming pools, sauna, and wellness area, is also worth a visit.
The first ski slopes of Samnaun date back to the mid-1950. Today Samnaun forms the largest ski area in the eastern Alps, the Silvretta Arena, with the nearby resort of Ischgl (Austria), offering 235 kilometres of slopes of mainly intermediate-advanced level, served by 40 modern and efficient lifts. Among these is the first double-decker cable car in the world, capable of carrying 180 passengers. In this ski area snowboarders find a small obstacle park and the Boarder's Paradise, one of Europe's largest funparks.
The easiest road to get to Samnaun is still the old road from Spiss. The other goes up from Vinadi and is entirely in Swiss territory, but it is narrow and has many hairpin turns and unlit tunnels. To those who have the courage to face it, this road gives the chance to admire beautiful landscapes.
This small state in the eastern Pyrenees, sandwiched between France and Spain, offers more than 1500 duty-free shops for every taste and wallet. For the best choice of duty-free goods, head to the shopping malls. The biggest shopping area is found in the capital, Andorra La Vella which is situated at about 1,000 meters above sea level. According to an American journalist, to get an idea of the city "you take the biggest duty-free shopping area you've ever seen and multiply it a hundredfold."
Duty-free shopping: Grandvalira, Andorra
Shopping is concentrated mainly around two roads: Avinguda Meritxell in Andorra La Vella and Avinguda Carlemany in the adjacent Escaldes-Engordany. Ideally you should go around on foot because the area is very busy with French and Spanish shoppers, and vehicles are likely to get stuck in traffic jams.
Outside the capital there are shopping malls in Pas de la Casa (Grandvalira ski area) and in Sant Julià de Lòria. After shopping and skiing, relax in the largest spa in southern Europe: the futuristic Caldea.
Andorra holds the title for the largest ski area in Southern Europe. The slopes are located in Grandvalira and in Vallnord, no more than 20 kilometres from the capital. Overall, these two areas offer 178 slopes (about 285 kilometres in total) served by 111 lifts.
Tips on duty-free shopping
- Before leaving for Livigno, Samnaun or Andorra, find out the "standard" prices of the products you are interested in. Apart from alcohol, fragrances, tobacco and petrol, the offer of duty-free areas can be less advantageous than for example the discounts given by the major electronics franchise chains.
- Read the information which set out the allowances. You can find them on the websites of each resort. If in doubt, ask the customs officer.
- If travelling by car, try to reach your destination with the tank nearly empty - you can fill up on petrol and diesel, making the best use of the mini prices.

"Richly textured, with an opulent feel. Concentrated, the fruit buried in the dense flavors. It makes for a big, powerful wine, with long aging future. Barrel Sample: 95-97 Points " 97 Points Wine Enthusiast
"The Chateau Suduiraut has a comparatively rich, botrytized bouquet with dried honey, pineapple and a touch of Seville orange marmalade, with exquisite definition and focus. The palate is well-balanced, with a viscous texture and a good level of botrytis, demonstrating fine minerality and tautness. Dried mango, quince and spice all interlace the focused finish, which is long in the mouth. Tasted against its peers, this has a higher level of intensity and focus. A superb follow-up to the sensational 2009. Barrel Sample: 94-96 Points " 96 Points The Wine Advocate
"Expressive fruity nose in this top Sauternes with ripe orange, apricot and pineapple. Candied orange peel, white peach and orange blossom. This Sauternes is elegant and with wonderfully balanced sweetness on the palate. Good structure and length. Vibrant acidity and lots of spice in the excellent finish. Excellent. " 95 Points James Suckling
"A powerfully rendered Sauternes, with apricot, ginger cream, marzipan, creamed peach and melon fruit, featuring a long, heather honey-filled finish. Shows polished edges already, but will need some time to unwind. Best from 2018 through 2030." 93 Points Wine Spectator
Chateau Suduiraut is a perfect example of 18th century architecture: noble, stately and full of light. The chateau is surrounded by magnificent gardens designed by Le Notre, which make the estate even more attractive. The soil is composed of sandy clay and gravel.

Garnet Hill
Brompton Wool Coat
Gorgeous Coat
Full disclosure, I got this coat on sale. Way on sale, so that might be coloring my opinion. Having said that, I love this coat. I'm an athletic, short woman (5' 4", 130 lbs.) with broad shoulders and muscular arms, and I have a difficult time finding coats that fit me. This one fits perfectly. It's slightly tapered at the waistline which keeps it from being boxy on me, and I love the longer length. I bought the small, although I'm usually an xs with most Garnet Hill items. The lambs wool is very luxurious. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.
February 25, 2014
Very Feminine
The Brompton Wool Coat is form fitting, which I like, yet I wish the waist had just a little more space. The pink grapefruit is an orange color. I like the fleece looking wool. My coat came with what appears be be dark smudges on it. Is this some variation in the wool or stains? I can't exchange because my size is sold out, so I'm hoping these areas aren't noticeable and I like the coat enough to keep it anyway. The sale price was great.
February 14, 2014
Nice coat
Love the color (pink)! The fabric IS lightweight, as others have mentioned, but more than heavy enough for the South. Very soft and comfortable. The fit is a little different - seems to be wide in the shoulders, and narrow at the waist. I did size up, based on other reviews, but not sure it was necessary. I am 5'5" and 116, and I got a size 4.
January 28, 2014
fine coat but not for me
Good quality, nicely sized but did not have special something I was looking for. good basic black coat.
January 13, 2014
Extra coat
I bought this coat to use traveling north and south. It will be high maintenance because of the wrinkling and attracting lint. Love the cobalt blue, fits well, but if you want to wear sweaters underneath, size up one size.
December 1, 2013
Wrinkly fabric, small through chest
I love the look and feel of this coat, but the fabric wrinkles easily. Also, I am big through the chest (36DD) and I had to size up to a size 18 to get this to fit. The 18 size turned out OK, but I couldn't get past the wrinkly fabric. The style and color (cobalt) are gorgeous and the fabric is soft, but it definitely creases and wrinkles easily. I'm returning it.

Venting two bathroom exhaust fans through one roof duct won't work, sorry to say. But you can install one fan in your attic for both bathrooms, and make your bathroom quieter, too.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine
One in-line centrifugal fan can be mounted in the attic to exhaust the moisture from two bathrooms.
Both bathrooms are vented by a single in-line fan that has one exhaust vent running through the roof.
Each bathroom has its own exhaust fan; each fan vents separately out the roof.
If you have two bathrooms that are close together and one has an exhaust fan and the other doesn't, you might be wondering if you can tie a new exhaust duct into the existing one. Well, you can't! You'd often blow air from one bathroom into the other, and local building inspectors wouldn't approve it.
But while you can't have two fans with one vent, you can make one fan and one vent serve two bathrooms. This setup requires an in-line centrifugal fan mounted in the attic drawing air simultaneously from both bathrooms (see photo). A grille in each bathroom attaches to ducts, which then fasten to a "Y" connector at the fan. A single exhaust exits through the roof (Figure A). You mount a switch in each bathroom. This system is quiet, too. Because the fan is in the attic, you'll hardly hear it. Look for the special fans (starting at $160) at heating-cooling equipment dealers. We used a system by Continental Fan Manufacturing (continentalfan.com) Fantech makes a similar fan (fantech).
It's less expensive to simply add a fan in the second bath and vent it separately (Figure B), although that will entail cutting another hole in the siding or roof. If you go this route, consider a fan with a built-in humidity sensor. It detects a rapid increase in humidity, like during a shower, and automatically turns on the fan. The sensor switches off the fan when the humidity drops. The fans with this upgrade aren't cheap, but they eliminate the need for a timer switch. Two companies that make the fans are Broan (broan.com) and Panasonic (panasonic.com).

text: Windsor, Feb 24th 1862 Thos: Goode Tucker Esq Dear Sir, I write this the first mail since my return. On my arrival I found uncle and cousin Wash in the same undetermined frame of mind in which I left them, not knowing what to do. In fact, waiting as it were for something to turn up. I immediately set before them your plans for the removal of their Negroes, with your offers to assist them in their execution. Several times yesterday and today I have urged them to the importance of determining upon something. That I might let you know by this letter. The old gentleman�s only regret now seems to be that he did not go on even if none but the women and children followed, notwithstanding both he & cousin Wash are impressed with the belief that after camping another night there would not have been one half doz. men to answer to their names. He says he has written to Gov Morehead to know if he can hire out his men in the interior of western part of the State and not until he receives his answer can he let you know what he will do. However, when he determined to move them he will be glad to have your assistance and will write you in time. The conduct of his Negroes since their return has been quite as bad as could be expected of the Yankees. My advice is not to wait for Gov Morehead or any other Gov. now but to pick out and take dead or alive 50 at least of each sex. The

I've been using this tarp tent for 2 years and its phenominal for Colorado and Utah backpacking. If I dont feel like using hiking poles I'll just use sticks to hold it up. At sub 1.5 lbs it easily fits 2 people, a 60lb dog and all of our gear and keeps everything sheltered from rain. Just be aware you are sleeping on the ground and have no protection from bugs. I'd never use this for camping in Vermont in May but in the right location its the best backpacking shelter, extremely light and durable.

It's a thermostat, it's a picture frame—and it's easy to access from anywhere in the world.
Venstar just announced the Skyport Wi-Fi Key for its ColorTouch residential thermostat. That new add-on allows the ColorTouch to tap into Venstar's Skyport Cloud Services. When used in conjunction with Venstar's new mobile app, homeowners can remotely monitor and control that home thermostat from anywhere in the world.
The ColorTouch is a programmable touchscreen thermostat with plenty of options for customizable backgrounds. In other words, you can use your own personal photos and over a dozen preset themes to personalize that thermostat.
The new mobility features allow users to control energy usage and reduce energy costs, from any location, at any time. Other features include the ability to send text messages to the thermostat display, view incoming alerts, and set a pictorial display of the current weather and weather forecast.
Compatible with iOS devices, the Blackberry, Android devices, the Mac and PC, the ColorTouch app allows users to access up to 10 thermostats in up to 10 locations. It could even spawn a little "heat," since multiple people can control thermostats at the same home individually from their mobile devices.
The ColorTouch residential thermostat with Skyport Wi-Fi Key is available now, for under $300. Existing ColorTouch owners can add in the Skyport Wi-Fi Key upgrade for under $100. For more on the ColorTouch thermostat and its new features, check out the video below.

Pros: Great bat when you first get it but do not expect this bat to last
Cons: Less than twenty games the bat dents up horribly the paint cracks the bat becomes useless and the mattingly customer service is worse than this bat. DO NOT BUY THIS
Mattingly Balistk Round Handle: BTKSL Senior League |
Took a chance on a Mattingly over some of the more popular brands
Please note that this bat DOES have the USSSA 1
Pros: Great bat when you first get it but do not expect this bat to last
Cons: Less than twenty games the bat dents up horribly the paint cracks the bat becomes useless and the mattingly customer service is worse than this bat. DO NOT BUY THIS
Pros: Nice looking. Great initial pop. HR, triple, Double & single in first game. ... Very good pop while it lasted .... (see below. It was used by one power-hitting player and did not survive a single tournament of play.)
Cons: Dents with nearly each hard hit ball ... by 4th game it was no-longer legal for play. Dents began as small flattened areas after first game of a 13U tournament. By the third game larger flat spots appeared. By the fourth game, a two inch, 1/4 inch deep dent. Either this bat was defective or there is a serious engineering flaw in this design. Did not last through as single tournament of play.
Pros: Great pop on this Bat... We have the youth one for our son 9 u select now & the & this is his favorite bat over the Demarini's & Easton Bats...Two Thumbs Way Up for Mattingly!!!
Cons: None!
Got a question about the Mattingly Balistk Round Handle: BTKSL Senior League ? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A Question ORIs this bat legal for Little League Intermediate 50/70 division?
The Mattingly Balistk Round Handle: BTKSL Senior League is a one-piece composite design and is not legal for Little League Intermediate 50/70 division. Little League Intermediate requires all composite bats to have the BBCOR .50 certification stamp. The Balistk features the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp.
Can this be used by a youth requiring a BBCOR rating?
The Mattingly Balistk Round Handle (BTKSL) Senior League features the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp and is not legal for BBCOR play.
Is this bat okay for a 10 year old
As long as he is able to use a 2 5/8 inch barrel, he should be able to use this bat. This bat does have any alloy barrel, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with the barrel. The only concern would be the barrel size.
Mattingly Hitting Products (MHP) Company was founded to promote improved hitting ability in young baseball players through the use of the patented V-Grip TM baseball bat and Don Mattingly's approach to hitting. MHP has created the first truly unique innovation in baseball and softball bats since the introduction of aluminum bats during the 1970's. Early in his baseball career, Don quickly realized that the key to increasing hand quickness and bat speed could be found in the grip, and that a good grip meant positioning the bat in the fingers and not in the palms.

Best greens supplement in terms of cost for profile on the market in my opinion. Provides all the necessary health benefits possible of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables without actually eating them!
Best greens supplement in terms of cost for profile on the market in my opinion. Provides all the necessary health benefits possible of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables without actually eating them!
I really like the profile and the amount of servings you get per tub. The cost is right too. If there is one stand out about this product is its taste. It tastes great for the amount of nutrients they pack into each scoop. I would put it along the lines of green tea mixed with Wrigley's spearmint gum. It has a pretty taste sweet, but looking at the label that is because of the Stevia. Solid product!
Most greens supplements taste like grass clippings and this tastes like delicious spearmint. It's a win on that alone (oh and profile rocks as well!)
EvoMuse Products Rep
PM me with any questions!
This is the only greens product I've ever used. I can say the taste was at all enjoyable to me, but I'm sure, compared to others, it's a huge improvement. I prefer it in a tall glass of Orange juice. I didn't "feel" anything from it. I thought maybe I would get some mild energy or something, but I didn't. I also can't say I noticed the added "Complexes". I did not have GI issues to notice a benefit. I wondered if the Nitrate donors would enhance my pumps, but they did not to any noticeable extent. I will probably take this again in the future, when I'm cutting, or taking time off OT. Solid price also.
I really enjoy this product. Most "greens" supplements taste like dirt to me. CL nailed this one. It tastes like tea mixed with spearmint.
I have horrible eating habits, obviously since I weigh over 300 lbs, and Oximega Greens gives me the nutrients that my diet sometimes lacks.
A staple for me!
ooh and its on amazon, i think ima get one of these. they should make a bulk tub thatll last 6+ months. id hella invest in that for an actual health supplement

The veterans hit the beach one more time. Actually, at the Spirit of '45 Taps Across America event Sunday evening at Lowdermilk Park, most of the World War II veterans being honored remained on the firmer footing of the park's south pavilion and allowed the younger generation to troop down to the water's edge.

There, attendees unfurled an enormous American flag, as six buglers from the Naples Concert Band played "Taps," and an airplane from the Marco Island Civil Air Patrol conducted a flyover. A ceremonial wreath was ferried out by kayak to the Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel standing by offshore, and taken out to sea to be committed to the deep.
The "Greatest Generation" members on hand, who are all in their late 80s or 90s, moved slowly, many with walkers or wheelchairs, assisted by caregivers or family, and some connected to oxygen tanks. But whether or not they could slog through the sand, or even whether or not they were able to attend the ceremony, it was all in honor of them and the deeds their generation accomplished.
"What if they had lost the war? What if we didn't defend freedom, here and in other countries?" asked Pastor Keith Lingsch of Grace Lutheran Church, who presided at the observance. "Events like this one are a good thing, to keep alive the spirit of a generation that made our country what it is." Lingsch served 22 years in the military himself, acting as a chaplain in the U.S. Air Force.
Before the observance at Lowdermilk, 161 people partook of a barbeque supper at Grace Lutheran, said Tom Strum, who took the lead in organizing Sunday's events. Strum said a total of 353 attended the festivities at Lowdermilk, "including the four guys on the Coast Guard boat." No word on whether the CAP pilot was included in his tally.
A brief rain shower, welcome for the most part, dampened and cooled off the crowd at the beginning of the ceremony, but the skies cleared for the flyover, unfurling and dispatching of the wreath. John and Jennifer Ashford helped roll out Old Glory, holding it off the beach, and also holding daughter Mary, 11 months, joining 50 or 60 others in making a target for the CAP aircraft, which flew in from the west, out of the sun.
When organizers asked World War II veterans to be recognized, about 20 stood— although some of them cannot stand now. One of those, Leo Ruble, in a wheelchair with an oxygen hose, is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and was two days from his 93rd birthday.
Greg Garcia, who sang for the crowd, is a U.S. Army veteran and a volunteer at the Museum of Military Memorabilia at the Naples airport. He said students today need more education on what their grandparents and great-grandparents achieved, and said the museum would be eager to provide programs for local schools.
"What these men and women did is being lost. Kids don't know what sacrifices were made to keep this country free," he said. "When you hold an artifact, the story becomes real" and the Museum of Military Memorabilia has thousands of artifacts.
On Saturday, hundreds packed the ballroom at the Naples Hilton, for another event honoring the Greatest Generation with the official Spirit of '45 Weekend. State Sen. Garrett Richter and State Rep. Kathleen Passidomo presented framed copies of the Florida Legislature's proclamation of the Spirit of '45, making this the first state to join the U.S. Congress in recognizing the occasion. Gov. Rick Scott even stopped by briefly, shaking hands and posing for photos with veterans.
Attendees heard the testimony of WWII vets including Leo Geller, who was told he could choose which branch of the service to enlist in, chose the Army, and was promptly inducted into the Navy.
"We need guys for the Navy today," he was told.
Tim Timrud of the Marines served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam, and was wounded in all three. The assemblage also heard from Col. Nick Hale, a survivor of the Normandy invasion and the Battle of the Bulge, and a guard at the Nuremburg trials, and Victor Bucket, who was serving aboard the USS Indianapolis when she was torpedoed after delivering the original atomic bombs.
Through the contributions of sponsors, all the events were provided free of charge, not only to vets, but to all attendees. The list of sponsors was long, but one in particular made an impression; scores lined up after "Taps" for free ice cream, scooped up by Johnson Paul of M&M's Café.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. ^---------------------^
Which one is better for operating system computer for multimedia working between Mac and Windows?
There are more reasons to recommend a Mac OS than Windows OS for multimedia users. Why professionals use Mac OS? In my opinions, everyone should to use Mac OS.
First, Mac give free real software that come with operating system, For example, movie editing software (imovie), photo editing software (iphoto), etc. You have got real software with free updates, all ready to use. But Windows often come with trial software that expires in 30 days. And pesters you to pay money for make it work. Second, Mac OS have better security it can protect your computer from viruses. We all know people whose Windows or data has been fired by a virus. Many Windows users have to restart their computer at least once a day. For example, if Internet Exploere quits working, the rest of computer usually quits working too. Mac never has those problems. Finally, in my opinions, Mac OS have beautiful menus and lovely screens. Mac OS designed by artists to look great and work well. Windows tries to copy the fell two years later, but never quite.
In my opinion, I think Mac OS better than Windows OS for multimedia users. All this is my reasons why I use Mac. I love Mac OS and you will love it too. What you think about that? Ready to get your Mac?
Thank you for reading

The Eater Wrap: Critic Shuffles, Town Hall's New Chef, and the New Eater 38
It's a rainy day Friday, which means it's time for the Eater Wrap, the weekly recap from Eater SF on all the happenings from the local restaurant, nightlife and food media scenes. Plus, it's not really the weekend until you peruse the Eater Wrap.
1) In a few months or so, SoMa's South Park neighborhood will be getting a shiny new restaurant, and brace, the newcomer is going to be a grilled cheese specialist called The American.
2) It's a new month, which means an updated version of The Eater 38, the answer to any question that begins, "Can you recommend a restaurant…"
3) The big news of the week was the surprising dismissal of Meredith Brody from her restaurant critic position at SF Weekly. Village Voice Media has already started a search for her replacement, and per the job ad, he/she will have to double as a blogger.
4) Town Hall has a new man behind the stoves and in a somewhat surprising move, it's Vernon Morales. Now, Morales is probably best known around these parts as the forward-thinking chef behind the shuttered Winterland, but the guy has an impressive resume. Town Hall won't be changing its menu or scope, but expect to see some specials here and there.
5) Up in Napa, there's some juicy rumormongering that Food Network just might be flirting with the idea of taking over the ill-fated Copia campus and turning it into a West Coast studio and headquarters.
6) Speaking of Napa, Bravo has confirmed what was already known: the Top Chef Vegas finale will indeed take place in Wine Country.
7) Last but certainly not least, Eater launched two new sites this week: Eater Miami and Eater Portland. Both cities have quite fascinating dining scenes, albeit for different reasons. Do stop in and say hello.

A Simple Cereal Solution!
Well as 2013 rolls around we all have goals! Even though I have NO resolutions on losing weight this year (In case you missed the memo I am pregnant). I still need to watch what I eat!
Left to my own devices I could probably eat 1/2 a box of cereal for breakfast, or who am I kidding this could occur any time of day! Have you ever glanced at the serving size on your box of cereal? Well if you have not you may want to close this page pronto and live in bliss!
The average serving size for cereal is usually 1/2 cup to 1 cup if you are really lucky. If you have never measured the serving size of your cereal give it a try.
So here is the solution measure the correct serving size for your cereal, and put the cereal in a plastic zip top bag.
Place those bags back in your cereal and you are ready to go! If you do Weight Watchers you can put the amount of points the cereal is on the bag. This way if you are eating a bowl of cereal of just snacking you will be right on track!
Simple right? I have noticed since doing this my cereal lasts longer~
I like to LINK to these great parties!

The Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) board approved the purchase of 160 light emitting diode (LED) signs to be installed at select bus shelters throughout the city. The LED signs will display Bus Tracker estimated arrival time information.
The signs will be strategically placed at bus stops, with at least one in each ward and where higher numbers of boardings occur, and also at busy transfer and connection locations.
"LED displays are yet another method by which customers can get estimated bus arrival times," said CTA President Richard L. Rodriguez. "Currently, Bus Tracker times are available on desktop computers and Web-enabled mobile devices. Thanks to RTA and FTA grants, the agency can now expand its reach to those who do not have computers or smartphones."
The signs will display four lines of text with arrival information specific to the location of the bus shelter. The LED signs will be placed throughout the city to serve as many riders as possible.
Luminator Holding LP was awarded the competitively bid contract to manufacture the signs. The contract length is for one year for just over $1 million for the initial purchase. A separate contract to install, maintain and remove the LED signs was awarded to JC Decaux in the amount of $687,300.
The funds were made available through a Regional Transit Authority grant and a Federal Transit Administration, Congestion Mitigation and Quality (CMAQ) grant. CTA has the option to purchase up to 2,050 LED signs for up to five years from the date of the contract.

Rachel Burkons

Cupcakes make people happy. This is a universal truth. With their sweet dollops of frosting atop a just-right mini-cake, it's impossible not to fall in love with this pastry's adorably lighthearted take on dessert. As a result, we've found ourselves in the midst of a veritable cupcake renaissance, with pastry chefs finding inspiration in the treat's pint-sized fun factor, and consumers across the country clamoring for new ways to celebrate with cupcakes.
Capitalizing on this trend and bringing the simply sweet joy of cupcakes to the cocktail world, newly-released Cupcake Vodka is answering the consumer call—all while providing mixologists with a platform to Cupcake their cocktail.
Café Fiore Mixologist Candice Erickson enjoys her Charantais cocktail, paired with a berry chiffon crêpe. The crêpe is mixed berries that have been soaked in Chiffon Cupcake Vodka.
Launched by Underdog Wine & Spirits, who have already tapped into the cupcake phenomenon with their value-driven Cupcake Vineyards wines, Cupcake Vodka offers a super-premium take on the category, with an original expression and three pastry-inspired flavors: Chiffon, Devil's Food and Frosting.
Inside the brand's soon-to-be-iconic sapphire bottle, Cupcake's flavored expressions are the stuff the sweetest dreams are made of. From the prominently creamy vanilla notes in the Frosting, to the sugar-kissed lemon fruit of the Chiffon, to the intoxicatingly lingering dark chocolate of the Devil's Food, Cupcake Vodka's flavors are, simply put, dessert in a glass.
Dreaming up Cupcake: From Concept to Bottle
While the vodka category is bursting with flavored variations, Cupcake taps into a niche that encourages young tastemakers to "Live Deliciously," a slogan that is, in its essence, a call for consumers to find new ways and opportunities to occasionally indulge—not splurge. "We focus on developing and driving new brands that appeal to adult Millennial consumers," explains Todd Ziegenfus, Director of Marketing for Underdog. "We strive to have our pulse on what appeals to this dynamic consumer group, and consumers today are demanding unique and fun flavors. We think Devil's Food, Chiffon and Frosting meet those demands deliciously."
At Wildfish Grill in Newport Beach, CA, the Frosted Cupcake (left) and the Sparkling Chiffon pair perfectly with desserts.
If "fun" and "delicious" are items number one and two on Cupcake's checklist, the brand's third key component is value, a factor determined by a precise balance of quality and a pocketbook-friendly price point. "Considering today's economic climate and outlook, we watch this formula carefully," remarks Ziegenfus. "Cupcake has developed into the lead dog of the Underdog portfolio and continues to over-deliver on value."
Six-times-distilled, and with the Original made from a blend of grapes and grains while the flavor lineup is 100% grain, Cupcake's smooth character belies its value-driven price point, a fact that's sure to be the frosting on the cupcake for on-premise accounts across the country. Cupcake's mixability also has bartenders demanding, "More Cupcake(s), please!" Indeed, pleasing the modern mixologist was at the forefront of the brand's consciousness during the development stage, when Underdog tapped wine and spirits guru Doug Frost as a consultant. "Considering Doug's reputation and expertise in the wine and spirits category, we solicited his help to ensure our products met the goals we set," explains Ziegenfus.
Shaking the Cupcake: Mixologists Find Inspiration
Having perfected its formula balancing fun, deliciousness and quality, Cupcake has unleashed its flavors to the mixologists of the world, and the results are in: Cupcake Vodka makes mixologists happy.
"These are really fun vodkas to work with!" quips Candice Erickson, mixologist at Ventura, CA's Café Fiore. "They're sweet, but across the board, there's no residual sugar, which makes them really light," says the bubbly brunette.
Ryan Velilla makes The Devil's Advocate using Devil's
Food Cupcake.
Erickson's reaction might be surprising to some, because with names like Frosting, Chiffon and Devil's Food, one might assume that these are vodka-sugar-bombs—a fact we're only too happy to report as patently untrue. But no need to take our word for it: Ryan Velilla, Mixologist at Santa Ana, CA's newest cocktail-hotspot, Chapter One: the modern local confirms, "Cupcake has a really nice finish; it's round and soft."
Where Shake Meets Bake
Inspiration was a word we heard over and over again when talking Cupcake with mixologists, but Cupcake isn't just finding love behind the stick. With a dessert-inspired brand profile, it should come as no surprise that Cupcake is a favorite among pastry chefs as well, who not only utilize the vodka in their own sauces and reductions, but also work closely with bar staff to create dessert-and-cocktail pairings made with Cupcake.
"I wanted to pair every Cupcake flavor with a dessert," admits Café Del Rey's Pastry Chef, Erica Ballard, when we asked her which Cupcake got her culinary wheels spinning. But Ballard also found Cupcake an enticing ingredient to use in her dishes: "I cook with a lot of spirits, and these are very light and flavorful, while a lot of other vodkas can be too harsh to use in a reduction."
Although the collaborative relationship between kitchens and bars is certainly not new, many restaurants only think about pairing cocktails with appetizers and main courses, leaving a gaping hole at the end of the meal where desserts are left to stand alone with coffee or, at best, enjoyed with a dessert wine or digestif. "Cocktail and dessert pairings open up a lot of opportunities to play with the flavors of the season," continues Ballard, "and it's important because it helps with the up-sell!"
With bottom lines benefitting from this pairing trend and Cupcake stepping up to the (dessert) plate, the brand is igniting a long-overlooked movement. "Desserts are making a comeback in many on-premise accounts, and Cupcake specialty cocktails embody the perfect cocktail/dessert pairing," explains Ziegenfus. "After all—desserts are rewarding and fun! We believe adult beverage occasions should be too."
THE TASTING PANEL took Cupcake on a Southern California road trip, visiting four restaurants and putting them to the tastiest test we could come up with: Pair a Cupcake Cocktail with a specialty dessert. The results were nothing short of sweet success.
Executive Chef David Weiss.
Café Fiore: Berries and Cream
Ventura, CA, is a typical California beach town with a laid-back vibe and quaint downtown. There, Italian-born Anna and Maria Fiore treat locals and visitors alike to an authentic Italian meal at Café Fiore, where a relaxed setting is the ideal backdrop to a cocktail program that emphasizes fresh and seasonal ingredients.
When we gave Mixologist Candice Erickson and Executive Chef David Weiss our Cupcake Challenge, they found easy inspiration in the sweetness of summer fruit, pairing a berry chiffon crêpe with a cocktail Erickson calls the Charantais.
Together, cocktail and crepe are a complete course tied together by Cupcake; Weiss macerated his fresh summer berries and soaked them in Chiffon Cupcake, which is echoed perfectly in the drink, and both dessert and drink offer an indulgent creaminess, thanks to house-made Chantilly cream in the crêpe and Frosting Cupcake in the cocktail. "The Frosting is soft, creamy and a little floral," muses Erickson. "It blends really well in dessert-style drinks, and you don't have to add any cream."
Frosted Cupcake
• 1 oz. Frosting Cupcake Vodka
• 1 oz. Chiffon Cupcake Vodka
• ½ oz. Patron Citronge liqueur
• ¼ oz. half and half
• Squeeze of fresh lemon
• 2 oz. Frosting Cupcake Vodka
• 1 oz. Chiffon Cupcake Vodka
• 4–5 sprigs fresh basil, torn
• 3–4 squeezes fresh lemon
• Splash of simple syrup
• Splash of fresh lemonade
Where the kitchen and bar meet: Pastry Chef Erica Ballard and Mixologist Aja Levi dig in to their Cupcake-inspired pairing.
Café Del Rey: Cupcake Collaboration
"We all tasted the vodkas together," says Aja Levi, Mixologist at L.A.-area Café Del Rey, where she and the bar staff joined forced with the restaurant's pastry team to answer our Cupcake Challenge. "We were so inspired!"
So when Pastry Chef Erica Ballard presented Levi with her lychee and rose parfaits, topped with Frosting Cupcake-infused strawberry salsa, Levi took her cues from the plate before putting together the Strawberry Sunset, a cocktail which highlights Frosting Cupcake's clean mixability, and offers a suitable partner for Ballard's subtly-sweet, cool treats.
"I was very impressed with Cupcake," Levi says. "I thought all of the flavors were nice and clean, and they were very mixable and infusible."
Strawberry Sunset
• 2 oz. Frosting Cupcake Vodka
• 1 ¼ oz. lychee purée
• 1 whole strawberry
• ½ oz. agave nectar
• 3 mint leaves

Last year Weisz attended the Toronto Fest with three movies. She rejoined "The Constant Gardener"'s Fernando Meirelles (who directed her to a supporting actress Oscar) in the sophisticated European ensemble "360," Peter Morgan's remake of "La Ronde," which was picked up by Magnolia after opening the London Film Fest (review here). She also played a juicy but small role opposite Bill Nighy in David Hare's adept but surprisingly routine spy thriller "Page Eight," (review, trailer below).
But her labor of love was clearly Terence Davies' adaptation of the Terence Rattigan play "The Deep Blue Sea," (review), which is a gorgeously old-fashioned and literate two-hander between an upper-class woman (Weisz) who leaves the constraints of being married to a stuffy judge to jump into adulterous bliss with a handsome, jovial ex-World War II air force pilot (Tom Hiddleston). But her passion for him is all-consuming, and ultimately she is trapped yet again in a situation that leaves her suicidal. Weisz's towering performance carries the film.
While I don't entirely agree with The Guardian, which writes that the movie "remains flat as a duck pond, the prisoner of a story whose relevance, even in metaphor, has lost much of its sting, and whose dialogue has more than a whiff of a French and Saunders sketch," the movie does feel a tad dated, set in a past that has little to tell us now, when women have more choices and romance fewer impediments. Released by Music Box in March, thanks to the New York Film Critics, Weisz's powerful performance is now a conversation. Now this elegant film--which also made John Waters' ten best list!-- will be seen by more people.

Love that Rachel's performance is getting the respect it deserves. I hope she goes all the way.
Danica | September 16, 2011 2:35 AM
I think Rachel Weisz is our generations version of Meryl Streep. She one of the best if not the best actress we have now and I can't wait for this film. Do you know when it's due?

Just love reading your trip report and seeing all the great photos. One of the things I appreciate most about your report is how much you appreciate owning DVC and your home resort BCV! Your gratitude comes thru both in your words and your photos (I also love all those beautiful relaxing rooms at BVC, we sometimes go over there from our home resort, BWV and have breakfast or lunch from the Marketplace in one of those areas!). Your Mom would be proud of your investment in such special family time!!

Thanks for the trip report and great pictures. I have ressies for Nov. 20 - 25 for two 2 bedroom suites. So far the one family that was going to be going with us backed out saying that they heard that is the worse time to go. Anything is better then going in the summer.

Day # 7 Back to Epcot
Today we wake up at about 9:00 am and head down to Cape May Cafe - I am getting a little tired of this place but it is so easy to get to. Before getting to Cape May my kids finally get to meet Art ( he had been sick !) - he was very nice. The kids told him how they had seen him on TV. They had watched Great Hotels Episode 30 - 100 times before we got the Beach Club ! Then we head in to Cape May: The Characters here are probably wondering when are these people going back home !! We then take the walkway over to Epcot. I can not get used to this... 5 minutes inside park.... awesome !! Because we have the special fastpasses that we recieved from DVC sales DH will not have to run around as much today. But because fastpasses have to be available in order to use the machine, DH still takes off when we get inside and goes to Soarin. He gets one fastpass with our tickets, and then uses two of the special fastpasses - giving us a total of 3 fastpasses each for Soarin. Then he runs over to Test Track to get one more Special fastpass and we have used all three of those. While DH is running around the kids and I make our way over to the Imagination Station. We get right on the figment ride and then play around in the Imagaination Station afterwards. The kids had a lot of fun in this area but I have to say I was surprised but the number of these we saw : DD makes music here: The kids get to jump around on these squares and make instruments play: My son finds a computer where he can take his picture and morph himself into all kinds of animals - this was funny ! When we are just about done playing around DH shows back up and we go to watch Honey I Shrunk the Audience. After the movie we decide to go use all of our Soarin Fastpasses - we were very lucky because the Special Fastpasses could be used as soon as you got them - so we didn't have to wait. Of course we LOVE this ride. I love all the smells - especially the orange groves. Now it is time for us to head over to The Coral Reef for our lunch adr at Coral Reef. It is near the Seas of Nemo. We get inside check in and our seated rather quickly. (This will be the only thing that happens quickly here.) We get seated on the very top level and my DD is a little disappointed. We came here twice last year and sat right in front of the tank. I let her know that everyone gets a turn and we already had ours. The big turtle: A school of fish: Divers: After about 10 minutes we are finally greeted by our waitress and she takes our drink orders. 5 minutes later we finally get our drinks. When she drops off the drinks we are ready to order but she says she will be back in a minute to get our order. When she finally returns we place our order for our appetizer and entree. About 10 minutes later she returns with my Sea and Land and DH's salad. Plus we got a fresh bread basket. The Land and Sea was one large shrimp and two bite size pieces of beef. The beef melted in your mouth and the shrimp was good. We are on the deluxe plan so I don't care about the price but if I had paid 11.99 I would have been a little Next our main entrees are brought out by someone other than our server. My DH and I both ordered the Grilled New York Strip Steak - served with roasted potatoes, watercress and tomatoes tossed in caramelized shallot vinaigrette. And my kids both ordered the Grilled Chicken with french fries. But now we are sitting here with no drinks and we still have the dirty dishes from our appetizer. Our waitress never comes back .... 15 minutes later and I say to DH.... "She didn't even come over here and ask if everything was okay." He is even a little put out because his tea has been empty a while. Finally I see our waitress and have to wave in the air to get her attention. I ask her politely if we can get refills, she brings them and leaves. She doesn't even touch the dirty dishes I have piled at the front of the half round table. We all finish our meals and wait another 10 minutes until she finally comes back. At this time all our dirty dishes from the whole meal are at the front of the table. She comes over leaves the desert menu for us to look at and leaves. I ask DH do you think we are going to be served desert with all these dirty plates crowding us. At this point he says "if she thinks I am leaving 18 percent she is nuts." The next thing we know a very nice blonde haired waitress ( who was not our waitress ) comes over with a large tray and starts to clear all of our dishes. She cleans our whole table. At this time our waitress appears with our deserts. I ordered the famous chocolate wave: DH ordered a Sorbet: And the kids ordered the make your own sundae: As our waitress left our table she stopped at a table off to the side of us to ask the other waitress who had cleaned our table if she could take the tray of dishes. The other waitress looked - she said "No I have already done everything." - boy I felt bad for her - I work with a few people who always seem to not pull their weight so I could sympathize. I also said to DH thank goodness the blonde waitress had come over because it was obvious we were about to be served our desert on top of our dirty lunch plates. We really enjoyed our deserts but tried not to take to long. We had already been here 2 hours - unreal. Two hours and we weren't even waiting for characters to come around. Just about the time we left I counted five tables in our area that were in different stages of dirty ( but no-one was sitting at them). On the way out the couch was crammed with people and further towards the front families were sitting on the floor waiting to be seated. I told my DH - I bet they have all had to wait over an hour past there adr because of our SLOW waitress. He then admits that he still left 18 percent because he kept thinking that if they split tips, others would be cheated because of her. I was then a little myself !! But oh well.... cont'd

Day 7 cont'd
We finally get over to see Turtle Talk with Crush and take some pictures in the entrance/lobby area. DH really liked turtle talk. I had done this with the kids in Disneyland last year -(he was at a conference). It was really funny. We then did the Nemo and Friends Clamshell ride : Next we headed towards Space Ship Earth. We only had about a 10 minute wait. DH and daughter were behind us. DH then asks me - When the heck did it ask what language you wanted ? I said "First question".... well he missed it and him and DD had to listen to the whole thing in Spanish !! I thought it was sort of funny myself. And we are now off to do three fastpasses we have collected for Test Track ! Showroom after the ride: We then spend forever in the store. DS picks out a disney racer speedtrack and a ton of disney racers which we have shipped back to our resort. DH buys a Space Ship earth playset to go with his monorail and contemporary (He is trying to build his own Disney World !) After riding Test Track three times in a row we are thirsty !! So we head over to the Ice Station Cool Zone. My DS tried all the flavors and says Mom the Bevly.. was gross I start laughing... I had forgot all about that one !! I said oh yeah ... Beverly... I heard it was yuck ! DD then talks me out of 8.00 dollars for a make your own princess cup and all the rest of us use snack credits to get drinks and frozen cokes. Cheers : Then oh my lord, it's already time to start heading to dinner Our longer than ever lunch has not left us to much time in between meals. But we have the most popular of adr's and I am not skipping this. Le Cellier at 7:30 . So we head to Canada. The gardens outside are beautiful: DS getting ready to head inside: Inside we check in and wait off to the side in a small area. A nice young man is there and everyone is playing a game of Canada trivia. I stand here feeling like a complete idiot - I then realize I don't know anything about Canada ! We are seated pretty quickly and I am glad because I think I was negative a 1000 dollars We are greeted by our waitress immediatly. She is a very young girl and very polite. She tells us which area she is from and we talk about how my in-laws had just been to the Niagara Falls. She brings us bread right away. I tell her I have read about the pretzel bread and I can't wait to try it. DH thinks I am crazy ! But once he tries the pretzel bread he can't believe how good it is. Him and DS devour it. Thank goodness we were told we could get more of any of the breads. So we get some more pretzel bread. I ordered the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup and my DH ordered a salad. The soup was good but became really good when you dipped the pretzel bread in it ! I was worried about it being to salty, but it was just perfect. For our entrees DH and I both ordered the New York Strip Steak - topped with bercy butter and served with Gruyere Yukon Gold Potato Gratin. The steak was fabulous. But the potatoes were even better. My DS ordered the steak and said it was awesome. My DD ordered a hot dog.... A hot dog - she was crazy because the steak was delicous. After we were done with our entrees our waitress came over and asked if we were trying to catch the Illuminations fireworks. We told her we were but everything was fabulous so don't worry. She said I will go ahead and bring the bill now while I am also putting in your order for desert, that way you can rush out after desert without being tied up. I thanked her twice, and told my DH we needed to send her over to Coral Reef to re-train someone ! I ordered the Smores, DH ordered the Maple Creme Brulee. And surprise the kids got sundaes. We then rushed outside to watch Illuminations.... great location... perfect timing.... Afterwards we walk back to the Beach Club. We arrive back at about 9:45 and you think the kids would be ready to drop, but no they still insist on going swimming ! So we head out to the pool and have about 40 minutes to enjoy Storm -along-bay. It closed at 11:00 otherwise I think they would have been there until 2am . Finally we get back to the room get cleaned up and go to bed once again just after midnight !! Coming up Next DAY # 8 - MY Birthday ... Magic Kingdom.... Bibbitti Bobbitti Boutique and LOTS of Pixie DUST !! And we find out even the hospital is called Celebration !!

I am so glad you both liked it so far. I wish I could say that the rest had disappeared or something-- but I promise I am going to write another day worth tomorrow. I knew I should have never stopped writing it because of course one day led to two days and before I knew it months had passed.

Day 8-- Magic Kingdom - And my B-Day !
This morning we wake up and it's my birthday. Even though it seems like we have celebrated everyday- this is the true day. My kids and DH gave me some really nice cards and my son gave me a plush turtle squirt and my DD gave me a plush Minnie -- started off the morning very good We have a 10:00 o'clock adr at Chef Mickey's. We head to the bus area and wait just a few short minutes to board. We arrive at Magic Kingdom and my DH runs inside to quickly get a fastpass for Big Thunder Mountain. This is becoming a little annoying to me because I want to ride other stuff and him and the kids seem to have two rides on the brain constantly. But oh well -- We have a couple pictures taken while he is getting fastpasses. I loved the new borders the photopass provided this year. The Up Balloons Then we are on our way to Chef Mickey's : This is a buffet that I really like. DH not so much. My kids love it. They have all the breakfast favorites plus a huge desert bar - in case you want to start the day off with a rice krispie treat ! Chef Mickey stops by : Donald: And Goofy: During the meal they announce a celebration and everyone stands up and waves their napkins. Yet another breakfast morning muffin/cupcake is brought out : After breakfast we take the monorail back over to Magic Kingdom and I get in line at Guest Services to recieve my free 75.00 gift card. I wait about 15 minutes in line - not to bad. While I am waiting in line there is this lady at one of the windows completly losing her mind. She is telling the CM at the window how her son's 5th birthday was the day before and Disney had ruined it for him. Apparently they were at Hollywood Studios - they had a multi-day pass,so they wanted to recieve a gift card. She was telling the CM that at Hollywood Studios they had asked for a driver lincense- at this point she starts yelling -"Do you know any 5 year olds that drive?" I was standing in line just giggling at the stupidity and thinking man this lady needs THE Dis Board LOL! Anyway long story short she then says that all the manager at Hollywood Studios was able to offer her without proof of date of birth was fastpasses- so she took them. Then she got inside and realized her son wasn't tall enough to ride any of the rides,so now a day later here she is at the Magic Kingdom losing her mind. She then even threw in that no-one had even told them they had to get a birthday button to have her son recognized. I take a deep breath and I am called forward ! I hope they pay these CM's well -- I could not believe the stupidity. So I turn in my paper I filled out at home, get my gift card, another b-day button and I am on my way to celebrate my magical b-day. The mad lady is now screaming for a manager-- and I run before I say something ! Just as we enter the park -- The celebrate parade is rolling out -- Just like it was meant to be... I have told my DH at least twice do not even ask me what the heck they are singing because once you start singing it - you will not stop-- As soon as the parade passes DH runs to get another fastpass for Thunder Mountain - 2 fastpasses in his pocket now. We then ride jungle cruise for the first time this trip - wait was about 30 minutes. Then we went on Pirates of the Carribean again. After a couple rides it is so hot, we decide to do some shopping. I really want to buy my self a hoodie - and since it's 100 degrees I am sure everyone in the store thinks I have lost my mind as I continue to try on coats At 3:00 we head back over to the Plaza for our lunch adr and eat almost the exact same thing we did a couple days ago. After another really good lunch at The Plaza we head into Tomorrowland. My son keeps begging about the Speedway. So we wait 20 minutes and ride the cars. My son actually did way better this trip - not as much whip-lash this time. It is now time to head back to the Castle for the Bibbitti Bobbitti Boutique-- this will be DD first time there..... As we begin our walk for the Castle DH runs off to get another fastpass (#3) for Big Thunder. I have told him no Splash Mountain today because I do not want to be wet and my DD will have her hair done at the point the fastpasses can be used. cont'd

Day 8 cont'd
When we arrive at the castle we are taken inside by a hostess and we are seated in a little waiting area inside. Because I have brought my DD Jasmine costume with us we are taken to a small little dressing room area for her to change. Then we return to the seating area. There are two young fairy godmothers in training who play a trivia game with the little ones while we wait. I end up having almost all the answers -- and everytime the question is a harder one--they look to me for the answer. The Package that I have decided to do is 54.00 and includes DD getting her choice of hair-do,make-up and nails painted. After about 15 short minutes Princess Alexis is called to be tended to. She is introduced to her Fairy godmother in training and begins to start to make all her beauty choices. I decided I would let her chose everything but I am secretly praying that she doesn't pick the hot pink hair extensions. She choses the Disney Diva - with extensions that are very close to her own hair color (thank goodness ) and she picks pink polish and a couple Mickey Rhinestone Bobbi Pins. All very good choices. And the transformation begins. The before: The brushing and Dippity Doop begin,also another FGIT comes to help with the polish and make-up. Once the process is well under way they call all the dads to the front of the salon. The Fairygodmother explains that in order for the dad's to help their little girls- they must first learn how to do the princess wave themselves, so they can then pass the knowledge on. It is hysterical watching some of these clueless dad's At the end they all get sprinkled with Pixie Dust and recieve a certificate. After this is done, DD is getting the finishing touches and is ready for the big reveal. The whole time everything is being done DD can't see what is happening. So when the big turn of the chair happens, they have a photopass photographer standing right there to catch the moment. She doesn't even look like the same little girl -- After a couple more twirls in a mirror we walk out of the BBB - very happy. I was very skeptical about a 54.00 dollar non-haircut make-over. But it was one of the best experiences ever. Plus,when we leave they give DD a pink gift bag that has two combs,extra faces gems,two bottles of nail polish and a little paper that shows all the hair choices with the one she chose circled. Oh,yeah plus the make-up. Just as we exit into the outer hall of the Castle- it starts raining. And I don't mean drizzling, it is coming down hard. Of course my DH puts on a poncho and runs for a fastpass (he is hard-core). Fastpass #4 for Big Thunder- I guess I know where I will be spending my birthday evening. We wait for almost 45 minutes and finally the rain stops. Good thing too because I don't think one more person could have squeezed into the castle. We head down main street to Exp.Hall so we can get DD pictures taken inside. I had pre-purchased the photopass cd - so we wanted to make sure we ended up with plenty of photos. From this moment on everywhere we go people are looking and telling DD how beautiful she is... and boy does she eat it up. I don't think we passed a mirror or window reflection for the next three days that she didn't check her hair in After the photo shoot we head to the Monorail. Our dinner adr is for The 1900 Park Fare Cinderella Happily Ever After Dinner. When we arrive we have our picture taken in front of a castle mural on the wall. Later during the dinner they try to sell this to us for around 30.00 but I did not care for the picture so we passed. We are then given a pager and wonder around taking pictures of DD everywhere.

Load times among America's top retail sites have increased by 22% in just one year from an average 5.94 seconds in December 2011 to 7.25 seconds in December 2012.
The findings, which come from a report by Radware, are bad news for ecommerce sites considering the importance of site speed for traffic and conversions.
A previous survey from Tagman found that a one second delay in page-load can cause 7% loss in customer conversions, while a separate survey from Akamai revealed that 40% of people will abandon a web page if it takes more than three seconds to load.
To find out how the top sites were performing Radware tested the load times (in Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 17, and Chrome 23) and page composition of the 2,000 top US retail web sites in December 2012.
It then compared this data versus previous benchmark tests performed on the same set of sites, dating back to December 2010.
