Katie Howard, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Love is in the air this week. Valentine's Day for grown-ups might mean a dozen roses and a date night or even an anti-Valentine's Day celebration. But for kids, Feb. 14 brings an added burst of red and pink fun to an otherwise bleak winter day.
The holiday is a reason to have a festive classroom party and send and exchange valentines in the mail with their friends and family.
Do you remember decorating a shoebox to act as your mailbox to receive valentines from classmates? I do -- as well as the little red doilies I used to make with the white construction paper messages for my classmates. However, like everything for kids today, valentines and class parties have received an upgrade.
Here are some new and old school ideas for classroom and home celebrations for your little valentines:
Bouquet of Valentines
There are a variety of valentines for kids that cover a spectrum of favorite TV, movie and book characters. Valentine senders can also get do-it-yourself kits from craft stores like Michael's and A.C. Moore. Target, Wal-Mart and other local toy stores carry a selection the kids will appreciate too.
But one thing I noticed after my daughter's first class Valentine's Day party was the amount of loot and bling she brought home. I quickly caught the drift that Valentine's Day doesn't just mean a little card anymore -- there's merchandise and goodies now involved.
Many of the valentines she received included a pencil or little knick-knack toy. Some of her friends even attached treat bags with their messages. That's when I realized I better up my game when it comes to this holiday.
We came up with the idea of lollipop flowers to send to her friends and teachers. We enjoy making them together and bringing them to class arranged like a bouquet.
- Red and pink construction paper
- Hole puncher
- Glue stick
- Markers
- Lollipops
- Optional: A styrofoam holder from any florist that can be used to hold up the flowers for presentation.
- Trace a pair of hearts on a sheet of construction paper.
- Cut each heart so that they are the same size and color.
- Place one heart on top of the other with each point of the bottom of the heart toward the other.
- Glue the hearts one on top of the other together.
- Poke a hole in the center with the hole puncher.
- Stick a lollipop through the hole to hold the Valentine's Day greeting and act as a stem.
Another Valentine's Day family-friendly or party activity is to prepare cookie dough with heart-shaped cookie cutters sold at most grocery stores or Target. My daughter loved using a rolling pin to flatten sugar cookie dough from a mix and cut out hearts with the cookie cutters. We followed the cooking instructions, and when the cookies cooled, we decorated them with pink icing, candy hearts, Red Hots and gel messages. If your family is staying in on Feb. 14, this is a fun, low-key and inexpensive activity.
That's amore
Italian-themed dinners make for appropriate fare for little valentines on Feb. 14. Most kids love pasta, and the World Market and Fresh Market stores sell heart-shaped pasta. My daughters love to eat the pasta hearts with a little tomato sauce and a cucumber tomato salad on the side. It's fast, easy and festive.
What you need:
- Heart-shaped pasta
- Tomato sauce (your own recipe or store-bought)
- Cucumber
- Medley of red cherry and heirloom tomatoes
- Balsamic vinaigrette
- Mozzarella cheese balls are also a tasty addition, but optional
- Follow the instructions for the pasta and sauce.
- Slice and peel cucumber into tiny bites.
- Slice the cheery tomatoes into halves.
- Drain pre-made mozzarella balls or scoop mozzarella cheese into little balls.
- Add the cucumber, tomatoes, cheese and Balsamic vinaigrette together and stir.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes
Matthew Miller
Best Argument: No
Audience Favored: No (63%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Why carry two devices when one will do?Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: This is the mantra that has seen the camera, GPS receiver, media player, portable games, and much more all converge into portable devices such as smartphones and tablets. Why? Simple. It is far easier to carry one device than many.
Given that post-PC devices have already put a myriad of consumer electronics devices on the endangered list, it is only a matter of time until the humble e-reader is kicked to the curb by the tablet. And why not? Both devices are flat, slate-like objects designed to be held in the hand, with a screen on one side.
Another factor is price. When the only mainstream tablet available to was the iPad, cheap e-readers were an attractive option; but as the price of tablets have fallen, this factor is now moot. Why would someone choose a single-purpose device when they can get a multi-purpose tablet for roughly the same price?
The days of the e-reader are numbered.
I always go back to my e-book readerMatthew Miller: I own a few tablets (iPad, Surface RT, Nexus 7, HP TouchPad, HTC Flyer) and primarily use them for media consumption or content creation. They all support multiple e-book applications and can be used for reading, but I always go back to my Kindle or other e-book reader. My book reading experience is much better on a dedicated e-reader because I get a distraction-free period of time on an eye comforting display to dive into my books. It is not enjoyable to read e-books on an iPad at the beach or by the pool and also can be a financially dangerous move.
Prices have dropped to just about $100 for most e-readers, which is still less than half the cost of most tablets so there is a cost savings if your primary intent for a tablet is to read books. It has been a long road for e-reader manufacturers to convince the public that reading electronic books can be just as good as paper books and there are still many who prefer paper (my oldest daughter for one), but I think the exposure to devices like the iPad are convincing people to take a second look at e-books.
Tablets may actually help the e-reader market as people first discover they can enjoy books on an electronic device and then find that the book reading experience is even better on a lightweight, eInk-based e-reader that is less expensive and has a battery that lasts forever.

When it comes to buying a gift for someone's home theater, we don't typically think about getting a receiver. A receiver can be a very pricey item—at least it usually is.
Today, we found Woot selling an affordable receiver option, and it's actually something that almost any home theater enthusiast would love to see under the tree. For today only, Woot is selling the Pioneer VSX-1022-K 7.1-Channel AV Receiver for just $239.99. This receiver has been discounted a few times this year, but this is the absolute lowest we've seen so far.
The VSX-1022-K has a list price of $449.99, which means that you can save 47 percent off this purchase. Just remember that it doesn't include free shipping; you're going to have to kick in an extra five bucks for that.
What you do get is an excellent cornerstone for any home theater. It can crank 560 watts of sound, has support for Apple AirPlay and other streaming services, and can also handle audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby Pro Logic IIz.
Other features include video conversion to 1080p (via HDMI), 3D support, the Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration system (MCACC), six HDMI inputs, and the option for control via Pioneer's free ControlApp.
Just remember to factor in the extra $5 for shipping on this deal. Also, because this is a Woot deal, it's only good through today (Monday, December 3, 2012) or whenever the retailer runs out of stock!

Forever Bicycles, 2013
Ai Weiwei – Beijing, China
World-renowned Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei will exhibit a new edition of his Forever Bicycles sculpture in Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square. 3,144 interconnected bicycles will form a three-dimensional structure creating an incredible visual effect.
Yong Jiu, literally translated as "forever", is the foremost bicycle brand in China; Ai re-interprets such everyday found objects in an abstract and symbolic way.
The sheer quantity of bikes and the diverse perceptions of viewing points create a colossal labyrinth-like, visually moving space, which represents the changing social environment in China and around the globe.
Film Screening: Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry.
City Hall Council Chambers: 7pm /9pm /11pm /1am /3am /5am
The inside story of a dissident for the digital age who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and politics.
Widely considered to be one of the most significant cultural figures of his generation, Ai Weiwei successfully assumes multiple roles, including conceptual artist, architect, curator, designer, film-maker, musician and activist. Using traditional and innovative methods of production, he links the past with the present while exploring the geopolitical, economic and cultural realities affecting the world with humor and compassion. His most recent work appeared in the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2013.

Giant Pandas at the Toronto Zoo
It's pandamonium at the Toronto Zoo!
It was an exciting day for Torontonians on May 18th when the Zoo officially opened its giant panda exhibit, featuring VIPs (Very Important Pandas) Er Shun and Da Mao.
The two pandas are on loan from the Chinese government for a period of ten years, during which time it is hoped they will produce offspring. The pair will be splitting their stay in Canada between the Toronto Zoo and the Calgary Zoo, where they are set to relocate to in 2018.
Pandas have a tendency to draw crowds. In addition to being just plain adorable, their unusual eating and mating habits make them one of the most unique species in the animal kingdom.
Did You Know?
- Although pandas have the digestive system of a carnivore, up to 99% their diet consists of bamboo. Due to bamboo's low nutritional value, a panda needs to consume between 10 and 15 kilograms (22 to 33 pounds) of it each day to get all of its nutrients.
- Pandas are notoriously reluctant to mate, which is one reason for their low population in the wild. Giant panda females are only receptive to mating for a period of 24 to 72 hours a year.
- It is almost impossible to tell if a giant panda is a male or a female until it is four years old. Because of the difficulty of determining the sex of pandas, it was believed that Er Shun was a male until genetic testing was done shortly before she was set to arrive in Toronto!
Top 5 Reasons to See the Pandas at the Toronto Zoo
No question about it, the giant panda exhibit is one of Toronto's must-see attractions. Here are the top five reasons why you should pay Er Shun and Da Mao a visit:
- It'll put a smile on your face. Pandas might just be the cutest animals around. Their docile nature, clumsy gait, and adorable black-and-white faces make them a delight to watch. It's no wonder that one of the most popular videos on YouTube, with over 160 million views, is of a baby panda sneezing.
- You can expand your knowledge. Prior to meeting Er Shun and Da Mao, you can learn all about giant pandas at the 8,000 square-foot Panda Interpretive Centre. With model displays, multimedia games, and audio-visual presentations, it's a fun and interactive way to learn about these natural treasures.
- Your kids will love it. Pandas are always a huge hit with children. You can also use this as an opportunity to educate them about wildlife and conservation.
- You can see other animals too. Once you're done seeing the pandas, you can make your way over to the Zoo's many other exhibits. The Toronto Zoo boasts over 5,000 animals representing more than 460 species, including white lions, gorillas, and polar bears.
- It's a rare opportunity. Although panda conservation efforts have proven successful, they're still an endangered species. The vast majority of pandas live in China, and only a handful of Zoos around the world have been given the opportunity to host them. The last time there were pandas at the Toronto Zoo was for three months in 1985!
Fun, friendly, and fascinating, the giant pandas are sure to brighten your day. Take a trip to the Toronto Zoo to see one of nature's most extraordinary creatures up close and personal.

Paris is top for quality of life
The French press hails a better performance for Paris in world city rankings. The French capital was listed as eighth last year. It is now ranked fourth, behind New York, London and Toronto. Among the various categories, Paris - it seems - is best for quality of life. That, and a look at politics/crime/Syria, makes up the focus for this review of the French papers this Friday 12th October, 2012.

I have immediately considered that Cana is the wedding feast when reading your words concerning the Cana relationship to 'zeal'. I recite "Quoniam zelus domus tuæ comedit me" of both the Gospel and the Psalm. A word that is often on my lips and in my mind.
Am I allowed to see this as Christ fortelling of His role as the Eucharist where we literally consume His body, blood, soul, and divinity?

• Auditioners MUST have at least one year of improv training and stage experience to be considered for this program.
• Each Ant Process class will be limited to 4-6 students as determined by an improvisational audition attended by members of our Home Team.
• This is a writing intensive class. Students should be prepared to write outside of class each week!
• Students who have completed our Intermediate Program will have a better chance of being accepted into the Ant Process.
Class dates will be determined by the instructor and the students after the class members have been chosen. Please note that the class will likely meet twice in the last week leading up to the show.
The Process fee is $450 per student. This can be paid in full at the start of instruction or in 3 installments of $150. Payment due dates will be determined upon acceptance into the program.
That's right! The cast will make money based on ticket sales for their June show dates. The cast will be given 20% of the profit from the performances to be split among each member.
