Horsin' around...
Do you remember me saying that I wasn't a huge fan of the shade on this dazzlin' stallion?

Great improvement! I never would have had the guts to permanently display a love letter AND execute it without a mistake!ReplyDelete
I think it looks great! Awesome idea..can't beat an update that's free :)ReplyDelete
I love it! It's so sweet and creative and I'm jealous of your pretty handwriting!ReplyDelete

How did you do it??ReplyDelete
I love this. I found the photo on Pinterest and followed you here. How hard was it to put the fabric on the shade? That seems intimidating to me. I think it's beautiful and so sweet.ReplyDelete
- Olly's mamaOctober 19, 2011 at 12:02 PM
It was super easy just took a sharpie and a little freestyle writing ;.)ReplyDelete
My sparrow's nest...Welcome to the blog ;.) I just cut the fabric to size of a shade I already had and used some spray adhesive and worked my way around the shade. If it seems crazy overwhelming it's not, you can totally handle it or you can always buy a shade that has fabric you like to write on without changing it. Welcome again! ;.)
- Danielle E.October 21, 2011 at 2:38 AM
I absolutely love this idea! Very original. I also found this on Pinterest and I'm glad I did. Where did you get the fabric? Thanks!ReplyDelete
This is such an amazing idea! I am totally doing this!ReplyDelete
So clever, but most important of all, so personal. Love it! ShayReplyDelete
I am in the process of putting the finishing touches on my son's nursery, and I think this idea will definitely come into play. I shared this with my readers in my Saturday Seven lineup this weekend! http://www.positivelysplendid.com/2011/10/saturday-seven-no-27.htmlReplyDelete
Oh my goodness. As a writer, I love things w/ words, newsprint, handwriting, etc. How cute would something like this be in a master bedroom with wedding vows written on the shade? Love the idea. TY for sharing.ReplyDelete
Not only is this insanely gorgeous, but the sweetest thing ever! LOVE it.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much to all of you!!!!ReplyDelete

I saw this on Pinterest and loved the unique idea. Last night, I got brave and wrote the lyrics to "our song" directly on the linen-color lampshade. It turned out great - thanks!!!ReplyDelete
awww that's so exciting & awesome! I love the "your song" idea! thanks so much again!ReplyDelete
This is so stinkin' cute!! What a create, inexpensive idea to add instant personalization to the room. You've inspired me!! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I have loved this project since I saw it, but I haven't done it yet myself. Can't wait to! In the meantime, I am feauturing you on my blog craftingharmony.com Thank you! ~LoriReplyDelete
Thanks so much Lori you are too sweet ;.)ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for posting this! It inspired me to make my own version! I did mine in burlap instead of linen which didn't turn out quite as well, but I liked the over all effect.ReplyDelete
Love, love, love this idea!!! So creative! I have too many blah lamp shades to re-invent. Don't know what I am going to write, but I am going to use this idea on one of my shades. Thanks for the great idea!ReplyDelete
I love this idea. I also followed my way over from Pinterest! I also must know where you got the white deer head. I have been looking for one exactly like it but can not find just the right one.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 4, 2011 at 10:34 PM
Got to know where you got the lamp! Beautiful base!ReplyDelete
I got the base at Homegoods.... Thanks so much! We just love it's:.)ReplyDelete
Love this idea! Reminds me of our tall floor lamp - my teens write messages back & forth on its inverted plastic shade with dry erase markers! Guests think we've lost our minds, but I love it :)ReplyDelete
I love this idea, I have featured it on Craft Gossip :) http://homeandgarden.craftgossip.com/love-letter-lamp-shade/ReplyDelete
Love this idea. Love the lamp. But I also want to read the whole letter to your son. :) Great job.ReplyDelete
I just did a post yesterday on how I needed to fancy up my plain white lampshade and someone sent me over to your blog. Love your shade. Love the blue flowered pillow one also. Great ideas.ReplyDelete
Awesome lamp. OK, Where did you find the WHITE Deer mount at? I love that, want it for a nursery! thanks!ReplyDelete
I got the deer head at Zgallerie I love it! ;.)ReplyDelete
OMG! I love this idea! Super simple to create!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 24, 2012 at 5:19 PM
I love this idea. But I especially love the bike art. Did you make it?ReplyDelete
Thanks so much, I actually bought it at Homegoods.ReplyDelete
Love, love this! I am so going to add this to my nursery board and then add it to the decor soon! Such a fabulous project and priceless treasure. Great job!ReplyDelete
this is really nice, great idea!ReplyDelete
Beautiful in every way!ReplyDelete
- SavtamamaApril 29, 2012 at 8:08 AM
What size is the deer head you got at ZGallerie? The small or large one? Thanks!ReplyDelete
It's the large one ;.)ReplyDelete
Love this idea as well as a couple of others that I have noticed while here. I would love to be able to read the whole letter to your son. Could you post please? ThanksReplyDelete
Fantastic, I love it.ReplyDelete
I love this idea for my home office, where I write stories! I could put one of my existing stories or write something new! Hmm... ideas.ReplyDelete
Hrm...I wonder how easy it would be to do this on a conical shape rather than the flat barrel. Mine are just slightly inverted at the top so it might take some work to get the fabric to wrap well and fit.ReplyDelete
Lovely idea!
Pinning this right now! Thank you!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 14, 2012 at 12:06 AM
did you write it and THEN glue the fabric onto the shade. or glue the fabric on and THEN write the letter? Looks great!ReplyDelete
Also on my to do list. Stunning idea.ReplyDelete
- Christina TaylorSeptember 27, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Instead of adhering fabric to my shade, and then writing... I just wrote directly on my lampshade!! It blurred a little, but I like the effect. I wrote out the lyrics to "I Cross My Heart" by George Strait, because my husband surprised me on our wedding day by singing it to me during our ceremony (I completely didn't know that he had changed the order of the ceremony to add it in!!) A special way to display meaningful words in our family!! :) Thanks for the idea!ReplyDelete
Love this! I think you could adapt it really well to all different situations or rooms. I'm linking to this on my blog booksandbowsdiy.wordpress.com! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I love this!!! I found the pic in pinterest! I was looking for something like that!ReplyDelete
Thanks for share it
New reader here and I absolutely love this idea!!! I am not so good of a DIY-er without instructions though... do you have any more specific on how you did this? I can google probably. BUT I LOVE IT. How did you come up with the love story you wanted to write?ReplyDelete
Come check me out over at www.whenindoubtjustaddglitter.blogspot.com
I love this lampshade! I saw it in the picture of the dresser redo as an inspiration pic for a different dresser redo and followed the breadcrumbs back to see the original lamp post. Beautiful idea!ReplyDelete
Wonderful idea and turned out great! I want to do this for my living room with my two lamps on my desk! Wonderful inspiration! Thank you for sharing!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 27, 2013 at 11:54 PM
Love the decor. Where did you get the white horse head ? Since its been a while from your post, where can I find something similar?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 6, 2013 at 3:03 AM
This is such an awesome idea! I bought an a yellow lamp base from target and couldnt think of what kind of lamp shade to put, but i think this is it! Im thinking of maybe putting mine and my fiancés favorite song quotes on it! Thanks for the great idea! Also this room looks great, any little one to have such a neat room is lucky! :)ReplyDelete
Just found this on pinterest. Loved it!! Because it's so personal and sweet. I actually did something similar few weeks ago with sharpie, favourite quotes and 2 lampshades.ReplyDelete
This is so pretty! What a simple, creative idea. Great job, thanks!ReplyDelete
LOVE this idea! and the stallion lamp bas! Pinning this!ReplyDelete
What a great idea...and why didn't i think of that when there are lampshades with writing on them in catalogs???? I will be doing this! Thanks!!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for such a cute idea. I tried a version of this. Printed out a seahorse in sea grass from my computer, taped it to the underside of the shade, then traced over the image with a Sharpie. Looks fantastic in my beach inspired room.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 3, 2013 at 12:36 PM
not only is it just extremely clever and too, too cute....but, you are a precious mom leave a message like this that will sink in for a long time...God bless you !!ReplyDelete

I've been looking for a way to display the lyrics to my favorite song in my master bedroom which has a whimsical country-chic look. This idea would be perfect!ReplyDelete
When the light is on, it through the words or it make a shadow in shape of the words?ReplyDeleteReplies
No they don't show when the light it is ;.)Delete
I'm having a blast giving a spare bedroom (a kid grew up and moved out), a makeover as a game room for my youngest son. He's a fan of video games, Walking Dead, and Bob Marley. Bob has lots of quirky but meaningful quotes. ( : Perfect!ReplyDelete

Decorations for a New Year's Eve Feast
Elegant eats, festive decorations, good friends what better way to welcome the new year?
And be sure to get our recipes for a delicious feast!
By Quick & Simple Staff
Shimmer and Shine
For a fresh start to the new year, deck your dining table in shades of blue, white and silver. Don't worry about everything matching exactly — mix up any of your blue or sparkly things to reinforce the theme.
Silver wrapping paper makes a festive runner; just unroll it down the full length of the table so it hangs over each end and tape both ends of the paper to the underside of the table.
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Having a Ball
Get some extra use out of your Christmas ornaments before packing them away — fill a low-slung glass bowl with blue and silver balls piled high for a dramatic centerpiece.
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Twinkle, Twinkle
Transform humble tin cans into decorative votive holders for the dining table. Simply rinse out a few same-size cans, peel off the labels and poke a star pattern into them with a paper piercer (available at craft stores for about $3).
Or put a small juice glass or glass jar inside a star-patterned can to make a small-scale vase.
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Ring It In
These napkin rings are a fabulously quick, easy way to glam up your place settings. Bend metallic pipe cleaners into the shapes of the year (this time around, it's "'09"), and tie them to a short length of silver-colored curling ribbon to form the napkin ring.
For a finishing touch of sparkle, we added a glittery star embellishment from a craft store.
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Personal Poppers
Create a fun place card with a name-tag party cracker. You can pick up the poppers at a party supply shop and stick on name tags, or make your own using empty toilet-paper or paper-towel rolls, colorful tissue paper and curling ribbon.
We filled our homemade poppers with Hershey's Kisses — which doubled as an after-dinner treat and another hit of silver party decor!

World's Best Brownies
|Diana Wing
|URL - Link:
This recipe is similar to the Magic Brownies made at Ann Arbor's famous Zingerman's Bakehouse.
|Number of Servings:
|16 brownies
|9 oz. chocolate, chopped up a bit
3/4 cup butter
1 cup, plus 2 Tbsp., all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. sea salt
4 eggs (large)
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups walnut pieces (optional)
|1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. With your fingers, rub butter all over the inside of an 8-inch-by-8-inch baking pan. Dust that butter layer with a bit of flour.
3. In a saucepan, melt together the chocolate and butter over low heat or in a bowl in the microwave. Stir a couple times as it melts. When all the chocolate and butter are melted, set aside for the next step.
4. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt and stir with a whisk to combine. Set this bowl aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Beat until well-combined.
6. Add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture in three batches, beating until blended after each addition.
7. Stir in the flour and salt mixture, and mix using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Mix-ins (like nuts or chocolate chunks) can be stirred into the batter at this point.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan; carefully spread to corners of the pan in an even layer.
9. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center is nearly clean.
10. Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack. Cut into 16 squares.

Girls saved from construction site
By Cindy Wojdyla Cain Sun-Times email@example.com December 2, 2012 12:48PM
Article Extras
Updated: January 4, 2013 6:16AM
Two girls playing in a deep excavation hole in their subdivision in Tinley Park were rescued and not seriously injured Sunday afternoon after a wall of mud caved in and buried them.
Nicole Salwierak, 11, and Sarah Miranda, 12, were playing in a foundation hole dug Saturday at 18307 White Oak when one of them touched the mud wall and it collapsed, covering the girls. Sarah was completely covered in the dirt, but Nicole's head was above ground.
A pocket of air surrounded Sarah, so she could still breathe and talk to rescue workers, according to Nicole's father, Robert Salwierak. Rescue workers told him it was a "perfect scenario" for the girls to be alive.
Nicole's siblings, Robbie, 8, and Carli, 6, saw what happened and ran across the cul de sac to alert their mom, Sandra, who called 911. The two children were being called heroes for their quick action after the event.
It took rescue workers about a half hour to use their hands, shovels and poles to extract the girls from the mud, witnesses said. The girls were taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox after the incident for treatment, but they suffered no serious injuries, according to Assistant Fire Chief Steve Klotz of the Tinley Park Fire Department.
"It was a very good ending to a potentially tragic [situation]," he said.
Robert Salwierak, who wasn't home when the incident occurred, said he felt like crying and his body was shaking when he was told about his daughters being buried in mud.
"My heart is still pounding pretty fast from all of this," he said even after the girls were safe.
About 25 neighborhood kids were playing in the hole on Saturday, even though they were all warned to stay out of it, he added. Light rain Saturday night must have weakened the soil walls, making them prone to collapse when Nicole and Sarah entered the hole Sunday, Salwierak said.
"If it was more wet, it would have been much heavier," he said of the mud that covered the girls.
The foundation hole was not protected by construction or safety fencing prior to the cave-in.

Josh examines every angle of the puzzling ancient city of Tiwanaku. High in the sky or deep beneath Lake Titicaca, Josh stops at nothing to discover the truth of this powerful site.
- Archeology gets a fresh new face in this exciting series.
- Josh goes high and low, literally, to discover the secrets of Peru's fabulous Tiwanaku site.
- Hosted by adventurer Josh Bernstein, President and CEO of the world's oldest and largest wilderness survival school.
Adventure has a new name! Host, explorer and survival expert Josh Bernstein takes a fresh look at the world's greatest ancient mysteries and puts adventure back into history as he travels to some of the most intriguing, remote and physically challenging locations in the world. With a fresh and engaging approach to archaeology, Josh goes to extremes and takes us along for the ride.
The largest single cut stone on Earth weighs an unbelievable 200 tons! It is just one of the splendors of Tiwanaku.
Like the phenomenal achievements of Easter Island and Stonehenge, the methods and motivations behind the massive constructions at Tiwanaku have long mystified scholars. Begun over a thousand years ago, abandoned long before Europeans arrived, the impressive structures above Lake Titicaca remain today in silent, awesome tribute to the commitment and ingenuity of their creators.
What motivated them to create this citadel? What meaning can be gleaned from the intricate organization of the Tiwanaku site? When was the city abandoned? And most compelling of all, how and why did the ancient builders transport unimaginably heavy stones 40 kilometers to this particular spot?
As ever, Josh is just the man to get to the bottom of these mysteries! And "get to the bottom" he does, diving into the depths of Titicaca to discover remnants of an ancient civilization. Taking to the skies, he also gets a bird's-eye perspective on the majestic ancient city. And, of course, no expedition would be complete without Josh getting his hands dirty: this time he harvests and transports the very stone used in Tiwanaku.
Enjoy this fascinating exploration of the STONHENGE OF THE AMERICAS.

Join the Conversation on the Future of Pre-K-8 schools
NAESP's Vision 2021 initiative is creating some terrific conversations about the future of pre-K-8 schools and we encourage you to join these conversations. The Principals' Office will have a special two-week Vision 2021 chat series that will feature interviews with educators and authors about the future of schools. Weigh in on what you envision schools will look like in 15 years and what needs to be done today to prepare schools for tomorrow.
The series kicks off today with some insights from author and speaker Gary Marx who often looks at how societal trends affect young children:
Keeping an Eye on Change
It goes without saying that the role of principals and their schools is to prepare students for a fast-changing world. In order to do this, Gary Marx, president of the Center for Public Outreach and author of several books on the future of education, believes that all educators need to find time to look at trends affecting the whole of society and consider their implications for schools and students.
However, principals often find it difficult to look ahead when they are constantly bombarded with issues that need immediate attention. By keeping an eye on trends and issues, Marx says, principals will be in a better position to focus on constant improvement and lead their schools to adapt to the changing needs of society. Vision 2021 provides an additional resource to help principals jumpstart discussions about the future of schools.
Although expectations for 21st century job skills are evolving, Marx says principals can see the larger patterns in trends he has identified that indicate what students may need to know and be able to do. A globalized society increases interdependency and requires communication skills, cultural competency, and diplomacy. Today's high-stakes testing does not adequately assess these skills or other important education outcomes such as civic responsibility, employability, and the ability to lead an interesting life.
High-stakes testing and future job skills are just two of the many issues principals must monitor as they prepare their students for the future. What other issues should principals consider as they look ahead at what their students and schools will need?
Are Your Students Insured?
There are more than eight million children in the U.S. that do not have health insurance. Uninsured children are less likely to receive treatment for an illness or injury, which affects their attendance and overall performance in school. As schools nationwide gear up for the return of their students, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Covering Kids and Families Back-to-School campaign promotes the importance of children's health coverage and aims to get the word out to parents that low-cost or free health care coverage may be available for their children.
Visit http://coveringkidsandfamilies.org/materials/ to order materials and downloads, or contact the communications team at email@example.com for assistance with planning activities and conducting outreach to promote the availability of low-cost and free health care coverage.
Computers in the Classroom
In the September/October 2007 issue of Principal magazine, authors Richard P. Lipka and Thomas M. Brinthaupt argue in their Speaking Out article that schools should think twice before implementing laptops—or other technology—in the classroom. The authors describe the downside of introducing technology into schools, such as hidden costs, operational malfunctions, and managing students' differing technological knowledge.
What problems has your school faced in integrating computers and other emerging technology in classrooms? Do they do more harm than good to the school in the long run?
Teachers Told to Chip In for School Electric Bill
In Michigan, one school district has implemented a "pay to plug" policy and another district is considering doing the same, which would require teachers and other school staff to pay a fee for plugging in personal desk clocks, lamps, fans, and other electronic devices to help offset rising electricity costs. According to a Detroit Free Press article, Grosse Pointe Public Schools initiated the measure last spring, while Chippewa Valley Public Schools is deciding whether it should too, beginning as soon as this fall.
Budget cuts and subsequent tight budgets are the driving forces behind this policy, which is estimated to offset or save each district between $25,000 and $45,000 per year in electric costs.
The Grosse Pointe school district put the same policy into practice a few years ago but rescinded it after strong negative reactions. However, the district is willing to try again.
NCLB Changes Curriculum and Instruction
The Center for Education Policy released a report this week that analyzes the changes in curriculum and instruction time since the enactment of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). "Choices, Changes, and Challenges: Curriculum and Instruction in the NCLB Era" finds that since the enactment of NCLB, 62 percent of school districts increased the amount of time spent in elementary schools on subjects that are tested for accountability, while 44 percent of school districts cut time on science, social studies, art and music, physical education, lunch, or recess.
Read the full report to learn about the other findings and recommendations, which include staggering requirements to include tests in other academic subjects.
Putting PE to the Test
Texas just added a new exam to its curriculum—a fitness test for all students in grades 3-12. The Dallas Morning News reported that starting next year, students will be measured on aerobic endurance, body fat, flexibility, and muscle strength. To pass, students must score better than seven out of 10 peers in their age and sex group. Students who fail, however, will not be penalized. Texas education officials say the test results will help guide state research into possible links among physical health and student achievement, school attendance, and discipline problems.
In many schools across the country, PE has taken a back seat to such academic subjects as reading, math, and science. But as more and more children nationwide are identified as overweight or obese, Texas will bring PE more to the forefront and will become the first state to comprehensively gauge students' physical health.
The first round of tests will be next spring. We'll have to wait and see what the final score is, and whether other states will follow suit.
Share your Humorous Stories
School is out, and now is the time for reflection. Instead of only gauging the success of the teaching and learning going on in your schools, also think about all the funny episodes that occurred this year. Chances are that you will soon be laughing out loud.
Share your funny stories with fellow principals by submitting humorous anecdotes about school life for publication in Principal magazine. Include your full name, title, and address and send your favorite stories to firstname.lastname@example.com. If your story is published, we'll send you a copy of the magazine and a pencil that says "I'm a funny principal!"
New Team in Place
July 1 marked the beginning of the 2007-2008 term for NAESP's newly elected board members. New president Mary Kay Sommers of Fort Collins, Colorado, will lead the team, which includes Nancy Davenport as president-elect, and newcomers Linda Chamberlin as Zone 3 director, J. Edward Pollard Jr. as Zone 4 director, Juli Mary Kwikkel as Zone 6 director, and Mark Terry as the Foundation director for middle-level schools. We're excited to have these accomplished principals on the NAESP Board of Directors and look forward to what they have in store for the next three years.
A Future of Global Collaboration and Project-Based Learning
NAESP members and staff continue to revisit the strategic issues introduced in the Vision 2021 process—including the need to prepare students to be global citizens. Rich Datz, general manager of Education World, a Web site that offers practical information for teachers and administrators, thinks that schools will soon follow the lead of corporations that routinely learn in global, project-based teams. Datz is following the expansion of project-based work among international companies and predicts that in six to 10 years it should also be common for principals, teachers, and students to use global virtual networks to collaborate in learning. For example, Datz finds that teachers already collaborate extensively in curriculum development.How schools prepare students to be global citizens is emerging as one of the top strategic issues in NAESP's Vision 2021 project. Principals will be leading schools that prepare students to be global citizens for an interconnected and collaborative world. When today's elementary school students join the global workforce, they will need to be experienced in working with teams that span geographic boundaries.
Datz recommends that principals start preparing students for global collaboration by creating projects with other schools within the district. The same skills and technologies, once developed, can be extended to schools anywhere. Datz is less certain about the urgency for American students to acquire a second language to succeed in a global workplace because English is the language of business for people everywhere. But he agrees with the Vision 2021 focus group participants that cultural competencies will be vital. Schools have a role to play in helping children unlearn stereotypes and in preparing to live and work in a culturally diverse society. This demographic change is happening faster, Datz says, than either businesses or schools recognize.
NAESP leaders recognize the need to help principals prepare to create a positive educational culture that draws on the strengths of diverse cultures and languages. Do you agree or disagree with Datz's observations?
The Gender Shift
Just over a decade ago, more male principals could be found at the helm of public elementary schools. But today, according to the most recent stats from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), there are more female principals leading public elementary schools. Between 1993-1994 and 2003-2004, the percentage of female public school principals increased from 41 percent to 56 percent in elementary schools. There was also an increase in female secondary school principals—from 14 percent to 26 percent—although the majority of high school principals are still male. The majority of female principals in private elementary schools stayed the same at 68 percent (with about 34 percent leading private secondary schools).
During this same period, the number of K-12 principals in the U.S. increased from 104,600 to 115,000. You can read more NCES stats on principals at http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/2007/section4/indicator34.asp.

Andrew Mollenbeck, wtop.com
BUENOS AIRES - The calendar doesn't list Super Bowl Sunday as a holiday, but it has become a de facto holiday at minimum.
The combination of family, friends and buffets of snack food have become a cultural staple, football fan or not.
And, like official holidays, those far from home look for a familiar way to celebrate.
Expats and tourists abroad throw on NFL jerseys and look for a place that is showing the game - a challenge in some countries who know little about America's most popular sport.
But this, of course, isn't just a day for football. The commercials, from lousy to hysterical, make up a lot of the talk and tweets during the game.
For viewers outside of America, the inevitable bummer comes during the first commercial break, when everyone figures out the commercials from back home don't make the broadcast where they are.
I have been abroad for several Super Bowls, and like others, I always look for an American bar or restaurant that is throwing a party for the game.
Tonight, I'm in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. We're having a pig roast.
This city is obsessed with the other sport that goes by "football." In fact, the summer soccer tournament, effectively a pre-season in a beach city, has everyone else's attention.
Most Argentines I talk with are entirely unaware of our game or its significance in American culture. But there are a few restaurants and bars catering to Yanquis, as Americans are called here.
I'm at a place called Magdalena's, a go-to spot for Americans looking to celebrate the Fourth of July or to just get a tradition brunch on the weekend.
The first person I saw - four hours before the game - was wearing a San Francisco Giants baseball hat. One person even showed up in a Redskins T-shirt.
Soon, a familiar feeling hits me. It's this odd sense of American pride and patriotism that comes with meeting people from your own country and celebrating in a familiar way, even though you're far from home.
People stood and sang during the national anthem. Conversations stopped when Beyoncé performed. Everybody complained when the lights went out in the second half.
And just like any recognized holiday, this was a chance to get together and celebrate a uniquely American tradition, wherever it happens to be.

If you've ever dipped into some of Regina's mellower or more emotive work and wondered where the grooves were, this is the set to check out – because it's filled with great tracks from the late 60s and early 70s that really kick things up – lots of driving percussion at the bottom of the tracks, jazzy instrumentation in the middle, and Elis' wonderful vocals soaring to the skies over the top! The set's a great introduction to the best side of her work for a newcomer, but also a great reminder of her genius for the rest of us – and the 2CD collection features a total of 28 tracks that include "Upa Neguinho", "Watch What Happens", "Voi Deitar E Rolar", "Ou Bola Ou Bulica", "Madalena", "Bala Com Bala", "Bicho Do Mato", "Samba Em Paz", "Alo Alo Tai Carmen Miranda", "Amor Ate O Fim", and "Aquele Abraco". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

From headline-grabbing cases to allegations that America's courts are misogynist, this is a sweeping look at women, violence and justice.
Is spousal abuse a justification for violent actions by women, as was claimed in the headline-grabbing Lorena Bobbitt case? This question and others are examined in this comprehensive look at the state of violent crime among women in America.
Though women still commit less than 15% of violent crimes, that number is on the rise. AMERICAN JUSTICE® takes a long, hard look at some of the most famous recent cases, from Bobbitt to serial killer Aileen Wourmos. Legal experts explain why the spousal abuse argument is gaining credence in courts nationwide, and a remarkable interview with Evelyn Smith, who shot her husband but was acquitted of murder, offers an up-close look at one of the most dramatic cases. See how gang violence is on the rise among women, and explore allegations that America's courts are misogynist.
It is an up-to-the-minute portrait of how the legal system deals with women and violence.

Beethoven is known as one of the best composers of the Romantic period. Many of his works are still being played and praised today including the Moonlight Sonata, Fifth Symphony and Ninth Symphony. However, there's actually more to this great composer than meets the eye. Following are some of the most interesting things you probably don't know about Beethoven.
1. Like all great artists, Beethoven has a ritual before composing. He liked to dip his head in cold water before getting creative!
2. The musician sadly suffered from bad complexion.
3. Beethoven doesn't like anyone talking during a performance. He hated it so much he used to just walk out in the middle of a presentation.
4. Part of Beethoven's genius might have developed through his association with another great musician – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The young Beethoven studied under Mozart's tutelage as well as Joseph Haydn for a short time.
5. The "Moonlight Sonata" is called such because Beethoven composed all of it at night! Perhaps he dipped his head in cold water to stay awake?
6. Beethoven didn't let something as small as deafness stop him from making music. Instead, he fashioned a rod that runs through the sound board of his piano. Every time he hits a note, he bites onto the rod and figures out the sound through vibration.
7. Beethoven loved to cook! In fact, he named one of his pieces "Christ! On the Mount of Olives"
8. The great musician was no stranger to love. He actually wrote love letter to an "Immortal Beloved", the recipient of which is still in debate today. Unfortunately, Beethoven didn't end up with his Immortal Beloved and left the world a single man.
9. Beethoven's father made it seem as though he was approximately 2 years younger than believed. This was done to make the composer seem more like a musical prodigy. In fact, even Beethoven didn't know he was a few years older, not until he received his baptism certificate did he know the truth.
10. Beethoven also wrote an opera titled Fidelino. It was his only foray in this type of art although critics still considered it one of the best classical pieces today.
11. Joseph Haydn wasn't too keen on Beethoven's work. Unlike most of the musicians in the Classical Era, Beethoven ignored mathematical precision when creating music and instead relied on passion and emotion. It can be said that Beethoven helped usher in Romantic Era of music.
12. A well-accepted eccentric, Beethoven liked to go on rambling walks along the countryside for inspiration. During those walks, Beethoven was completely bedraggled with uncombed hair and shabby clothes. The villagers knew of his love for walks and kept out of his way, especially since he looked like he was always in a bad mood.
13. The Ninth Symphony was actually created when Beethoven was already deaf.
14. Beethoven was a supporter of Napoleon Bonaparte during his early years, even dedicating the "Third Symphony" to the leader. Later on however, Beethoven saw Bonaparte as a tyrant and forcefully erased his name on the symphony paper.
15. Despite his outward appearance of surliness, Beethoven actually liked to joke and would often amuse himself in the height of illness.
16. Beethoven's first performance as a child was deemed unremarkable. When he was performing at 17 however, Mozart saw the genius and commented: one day he will force the world to talk about him.

Men and women from front-line squadrons reveal what it is like to serve and fly in today's Air Force.
It's the closest you can get to a Stealth Fighter without military clearance. DANGEROUS SKIES takes flight with the men and women of the Air Force as they perform their vital mission.
Fly in an F-16 Fighting Falcon patrolling the Iraqi border. Dogfight in an A-10 Thunderbolt during a training exercise high above the Mojave Desert. And get up-close with the Stealth fighter. Extensive cooperation with the U.S. Air Force allows INVESTIGATIVE REPORTSTM to provide this incredible behind-the-scenes tour of two Air Force combat squadrons. One is posted in Saudi Arabia, flying F-16s monitoring Iraq, the other trains in their A-10s over the Mojave Desert.

From the sickening feeling of taking a "hit" in training to the tense patrol missions over enemy territory, DANGEROUS SKIES is as close to real flying as you can get. And the hosts for this inside look are 16 Air Force pilots, who tell what it is really like in the cockpit.
Like no other program available, DANGEROUS SKIES is an inside look at the new Air Force and the planes and people that make it work.

Town board members argue over supervisor's "secret" meeting with city officials
At the Town of Waukesha Board meeting Thursday night, it was also revealed that Supervisor Everett German and Supervisor Brian Fischer held a meeting with City of Waukesha officials without other board members' knowledge.
The meeting came after the Town voted unanimously at a Jan. 24 board meeting to include a northern portion of the town in the city's service area in its application for Lake Michigan water.
The Town's decision also included a volume of water "in the amount of not less than 0.55 millions of gallons per day to be allocated for the Town."
Then on Tuesday, City Administrator Ed Henschel sent a letter to the Town saying "after discussing this matter with the DNR, the DNR believes the Town's motion is flawed."
And in his letter, Henschel says "the volume of water cited by the Town is inappropriate and excessive for the amount of land included."» Read Full Article

Site of former Kmart in Waukesha on Sunset Drive will be redeveloped
Randy Roth couldn't wait. For him, the future of the redevelopment of the old Kmart site was at stake.
After hearing the Waukesha Plan Commission was going to wait on approving the redevelopment project for the vacant site at 120 E. Sunset Drive in Waukesha until 2015 because it wasn't satisfied with the plans, Roth, president of Endeavour Corp., immediately met with city staff to address the concerns it had from its meeting on Dec. 10.
"It was a lot of work," Roth said. "The day after the (plan commission) meeting we had a meeting and within 24 hours we were back with some design recommendations. And by (Dec. 12) we had kicked out three or four alternatives. We went quickly."
The concerns of the commission have been addressed and now a long-standing eyesore to the community will soon get an expansive makeover.
Roth, whose company is the developer for the project, said after a special plan commission meeting on Tuesday night the project probably would have came to a halt had it not gotten plan commission and common council approvals before the end of the year. Both city bodies unanimously approved the project on Tuesday.» Read Full Article

West Allis man sentenced for voting twice in 2012 presidential election
A 34-year-old West Allis man who blamed depression and anxiety for voting twice in the 2012 presidential election was sentenced Wednesday to 90 days in jail as a condition of 18 months probation.
The sentence was less than a prosecutor recommended, but more than the fine recommended by Todd M. Murray's lawyer, who argued that Milwaukee County is harshly out of line with the rest of the state in resolving cases of double voting.
Circuit Judge Joseph Donald said it didn't matter that Murray's extra vote didn't affect any electoral outcomes. It's still a serious offense that affects everyone else who counts on the principle of one person, one vote. A sentence without jail time, Donald said, would depreciate the nature of the crime.
Murray, who reports to jail Jan. 5, will be allowed release privileges for work and therapy.
Murray was on his way home from his engineering job in Waukesha on Nov. 6, 2012, when he stopped in New Berlin, registered and voted. He then cast another ballot at his regular polling place in West Allis. He was charged in June and pleaded guilty Wednesday.» Read Full Article

United Way agencies in Milwaukee, Waukesha announce merger
United Way of Greater Milwaukee and United Way in Waukesha County announced Thursday that they have merged to create a single agency.

Before Waukesha's Community Development Director Steve Crandell retired this summer, he was preparing Jennifer Andrews to succeed him.

Sponsor a family through Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County
Christmas Clearing Council of Waukesha County (CCC) is once again offering a sponsorship program that matches families in need with individuals, families, groups, organizations and businesses in the community this Christmas season.
At this time of year, children in the community are dreaming of a special Christmas, but unfortunately, many parents do not have the means to make their children's wishes come true. CCC's goal each year is to have as many children as possible sponsored through its personal giving program.
CCC went through its case files to highlight families still waiting for a sponsor and reminded the public they have until Dec. 5 to sponsor a family. For those willing to sponsor, the CCC will match them with a family in need.
Promoting CCC
"There's such a great need out in our community — it's important for people to look around and see what they have and to think about those who don't have anything and give back to the community in any way, shape or form that they can," said Barb Kocher, owner of Waukesha gallery, Gallery I, and longtime CCC supporter.» Read Full Article
