The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of oral supplementation of newborn Balb/c mice with bifidobacteria (B. infantis, B. bifidum) and iron-free apo-lactoferrin (bovine, human) on gut endotoxin concentration and mucosal immunity. Endotoxin concentration was measured in ileocecal filtrates at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days postdelivery by a quantitative limulus amebocyte lysate test. While endotoxin levels in bifidobacteria-fed mice showed a steady rise over time, they were consistently lower than that observed in control animals. Results of lactoferrin supplementation varied depending on the specific time point, but overall by day 28, all treatment groups showed lower intestinal endotoxin concentrations compared to saline fed animals. Neither bifidobacteria nor lactoferrin stimulated an increase in B or T cells, or in cytokine production (IL-6, TNF-α, INF-γ), in Peyer's patches as measured by flow cytometry. Bifidobacteria and lactoferrin were well tolerated as dietary supplements and showed promising potential to reduce gut endotoxin levels.

Anything You Want (Todo Lo Que Tú Quieras)
Directed by Achero Mañas | SPAIN | 2010 | (Q&A)
Achero Mañas's third feature imagines how a father might respond to being thrust into a role traditionally held by a woman. Leo and Alicia live together in Madrid with their four-year-old daughter, Dafne. Alicia spends the most time with their child while Leo is more concerned with his job at a law firm. All is well until Alicia's unexpected death. Reeling from loss, Leo must find the strength to be both mother and father to Dafne. With the help of a new friend, Leo discovers a way to overcome his own prejudices about gender roles and provide his daughter with the kind of nurturing she needs during her difficult grieving period. As displayed in his previous work, Mañas has the ability to strike an emotional chord while presenting morally complex situations with intelligence and compassion. Complemented by stand-out performances by both Juan Diego Botto and four-year old Lucía Fernández, ANYTHING YOU WANT demonstrates the power of unconditional love. - Abridged from Toronto International Film Festival Director, Diana Sanchez

Request a live demoof the Acquia platform
Szeged Usability Sprint - a HUGE success.
I wanted to genuinely thank everyone who participated in the usability sprint - particularly Roy for setting it up. The outcome was fantastic!
Together we targeted 4 problematic areas defined by the two usability tests and crafted high-level solutions for each. Item 3 got dismantled due to language barriers, but the others made significant progress. Item 2 resulted in a patch.
1. Night of the disappearing help page (http://groups.drupal.org/node/14387)
2. Where did my content go (http://groups.drupal.org/node/14423)
Dion Hinchcliffe over at ZDNet has named Drupal as one of the top ten leading platforms for creating online communities, one small notch behind Joomla. The first part of Dion's post explains the current state of online community building practices and technology. Dion does a lot of consulting with top companies seeking to build communities around their products and services, and his insights are on target.
Although I would have put Drupal in the #1 spot, I really like Dion's brief description of Drupal:
I put together a few scripts that I needed to configure and manage drupal from CLI.
They include the following scripts:
- Installer (install.php D6 & D7)
- Updater (update.php)
- Code Coverage (working example: http://acquia.com/latest-drupal-test-results)
- Unit Test Runner (run-tests.sh)
- Module enabler
and the following library code:
- CLI arg parser
- Drupal Web Form User Agent (uses php-curl)
additional points:
- Much of the code has unit tests (simpletest, php-mock-functions w/o runkit)
- Code was designed to be extended for custom purposes.
On Sunday the Drupalcon organizers arranged for a code sprint at the excellent József Attila Study and Information Centre. What a difference great infrastructure makes to the productivity of a day of sprinting. The work area was the open birds of a feather lounge on the third floor.
I got a chance to interview MySQL European community manager Lenz Grimmer about how to grow your Drupal local group by engaging with a local MySQL community. If you are one of the 149 Drupal local group ambassadors, or would like to be, consider working closely with your local MySQL group.
Our vision for enhancing the total experience with Drupal is becoming a reality. This Friday between 1:00 - 5:00, help us create this experience by becoming a usability participant in our Beta Test Kitchen. This is a great opportunity to learn about the Acquia offering, provide feedback, and become part of our Beta program. That's right, you'll become part of the Beta program just by coming by and spending an hour or so driving through a few tasks.
We're taking names at our booth now. If you're interested, please stop by and sign up by select a time that works best for you.
I have been meeting a lot of interesting people on the road, and lately it's been librarians. It turns out that a lot of libraries love Drupal. I've put together a showcase video of libraries that use Drupal. Next time you are at your library, make sure you share this video with your local librarian.
Andy Austin and Chris Austin have recently released a Drupal overview in the May/June edition of library technology reports. More details on the front page of Drupal.org.
MIT's Technology Review announced its annual TR35 honorees today - recognizing young innovators under the age of 35 whose inventions and research they find most exciting. Dries was honored along with 34 outstanding leaders in the field of technology - congrats Dries!
We had over a dozen volunteers from the South Bay, San Francisco, and Berkeley group at the Drupal booth. We also had at least four people ask about a North Bay group. One of the problems when you have so many fun and interesting people working at your booth is you start talking to them instead of all the people who are looking at you with the "What's a Drupal?" look. But we did a great job talking to hundreds of people in three days and I believe that this will help to grow Drupal usage in both the Bay Area and the broader Linux community.
I joined Acquia in June with a mission to develop a responsive and knowledgeable support team. To that end, I'm looking to fill initial positions with enthusiastic, overqualified individuals who will not only provide great customer support but who will help build our support delivery infrastructure (integrated CRM/voice/chat; knowledge management, internal training, etc). It's a great opportunity to make a difference. If you're already sold, click here to apply or click here to refer someone else to qualify for a referral bonus of up to $2,500. The rest of you should read on.
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

China's fabled export competitiveness is on the wane and that has implications for the rest of the world economy, conclude Morgan Stanley economists Spyros Andreopoulos and Sung Woen Kang.
Their estimates show the profits of Chinese exporters from trading with the U.S. shrank 20 percent to 30 percent between 2004 and 2010 as domestic labor costs grew and their currency's climb against the dollar lowered revenue once translated back into yuan.
With such forces likely to keep weighing on margins, chances are the rest of the world will have to pay more for Chinese goods, resulting in "global developments of high importance," the economists said in a July 25 report.
While China's trade data are volatile, there are signs that the country's export powers are slipping. China's February trade deficit was the biggest since at least 1989. In April, the International Monetary Fund cut its outlook for the current account surplus, which it estimates had already fallen from 10.1 percent of gross domestic product in 2007 to 2.8 percent in 2011.
Higher Chinese prices will eat into disposable incomes worldwide and fan global inflation, while allowing other economies to claw back manufacturing share, they said.
"Globalization may already be turning from tailwind to headwind for consumers the world over," the economists said.

Inflation targets are becoming harder to hit.
That's the conclusion of Societe Generale SA economist Anatoli Annenkov, who said in a July 20 report that central banks face new challenges in reaching their goals. Capital is increasingly flowing into their economies and calls are growing louder to juggle price stability with financial stability.
The result is "the pressure on inflation-targeting central banks to deliver on multiple targets will increase," said London-based Annenkov. "As a consequence, monetary policy may become increasingly difficult to assess and anticipate."
Pioneered by New Zealand two decades ago and subsequently adopted in the U.K., Canada and Australia, inflation targeting requires central banks to calibrate monetary policy so that inflation hits a set rate over a certain time frame. While central banks have traditionally faced inflation stronger than their targets, they increasingly find it undershooting as the global economy remains weak.
Central banks will find hitting the target even harder following the five-year-old financial crisis because they have to take more into account when trying to manage prices, Annenkov wrote.
One threat is that capital probably will be drawn to countries that target inflation as investors seek economic growth and stability. That will probably push up currency values, pulling down inflation.
Having taken the lead in developing targeting by publishing likely paths for interest rates, Norway and Sweden are already facing the challenges Annenkov highlights. Average inflation has undershot targets in both countries by 0.5 percentage point since 1999, he wrote. Now, the euro crisis is leading investors to push money into these safe havens, while in Norway interest rate cuts are also being blamed for fanning a housing boom.
"With poor target fulfillment, pressure will undoubtedly increase on explaining why this has been the case and what factors could motivate it," Annenkov said.

Economic crises may make us healthier.
The 2008 economic turmoil in Iceland, which included the collapse of three major banks and the deepest recession in six decades, led to reductions in all "health-compromising behaviors" studied by five economists in a study released this week by the National Bureau for Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That included smoking, heavy drinking, consumption of fast food and indoor tanning.
It also led to the reduced consumption of fruits and vegetables, although there was increased buying of fish oil and sleeping the recommended amount. The shifts were partly explained by changes in work hours, household income, wealth and mental health, the economists said.
A 27 percent increase in prices between 2007 and 2009 was viewed as a particular driver of health choices, they said. Price changes were found to have less of an effect on demand for alcohol and sugared soft drink, compared to that for smoking, sweets and fast food.

It's harder for Europe's peripheral nations to adopt the economic modernization that Germany undertook, which revolutionized the region's biggest economy, according to Darren Williams, chief European economist at AllianceBernstein Holding LP.
When the euro began trading in 1999, Germany was dubbed the "sick man" of Europe as it struggled to deal with the fallout from east-west reunification. Unable to devalue its way to growth through a lower currency, it enforced an "internal devaluation." The aim was to make its products cheaper than trade rivals and thus turn the economy more competitive.
That was achieved by slashing labor costs enough to reduce the implicit price-adjusted exchange rate by 10 percent. Amid the squeeze, German consumer spending rose just 0.6 percent per year from 1999 to 2007, compared with a 2.1 percent gain in the rest of the euro region.
In return for the pain, the gain was a more efficient, export-driven economy that has weathered five years of financial crises better than its neighbors, Williams said.
While that experience is highlighted by German policy makers as a template for the likes of Greece, Williams says what's different is that Germany's period of retrenchment occurred when the rest of the world economy was strong, damping the impact on output and jobs. At the same time, cutting wages makes it harder to stabilize household and government debt because lower salaries reduce income and tax revenue.
A third reason is that to realign their price levels within the euro region, the peripheral countries need to improve their competitiveness against Germany, a country where wage settlements are likely to remain under control and which is unlikely to embrace turning less productive.
"While Germany's experience offers some guidance for the periphery today, it is clear the path ahead will be long and arduous," Williams said.
To make it easier, governments may want to shift taxation away from labor by lowering company payroll taxes and toward consumption by raising indirect taxes, he said. A weaker euro is another channel, although it would have to fall further to serve as a panacea, he said.

Experience counts when it comes to heading a Formula One motor racing team.
A study of every Grand Prix in the last 60 years, involving almost 18,000 cars, found teams are more likely to be successful if run by former drivers or mechanics rather than by engineers or professional managers.
That's because so called "expert leaders" command greater credibility among teammates and their talent can draw other skilled personnel to join them, according to the authors of the July 20 report, including Amanda Goodall of Cass Business School in London. The conclusion meshes with her previous finding that hospitals run by doctors outperform those helmed by managers.
"Leaders should first be experts in the core business of their organizations, whether they are bankers, hospital administrators, restaurateurs or technology innovators," the study said. "Being a capable general manager alone is not sufficient."

Medication Question
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 09-16-2010 - 5:30pm
DS started Vyvanse last Friday, so he has been taking it a full week today.
|Sat, 09-25-2010 - 7:01pm
Intuniv is Guanfacine, a Blood Pressure med( the same one my grandma takes). it is used
|Sat, 09-25-2010 - 1:26pm
Donna - I am so happy his med is working! It is so wonderful to watch your child feel good about themselves when they can control their behavior.
I second your comment about making the decision to medicate. When my son was being diagnosed I did not want to use medication and I would cry thinking about it. It is a difficult decision but seeing all the positive changes in my son reinforces that we made the right decision.
Best of luck ~ JoAnna
|Thu, 09-23-2010 - 2:33pm
Luke has had an awesome week at school, but we do notice that his meds wear off right around the time school is out.
|Thu, 09-23-2010 - 7:35am
|Thu, 09-23-2010 - 12:02am
Sue - I had the same issue with my DS, not knowing if the meds were working. My DH and I would keep asking each other
|Wed, 09-22-2010 - 3:58pm
A child may HAVE ADHD, but it is not what they ARE. Never tell a child they ARE ADHD.
|Wed, 09-22-2010 - 2:26pm
OK I hope no one minds if I piggy-back off this thread with a question..concern:
How do I know if the dose is working?
|Tue, 09-21-2010 - 9:39am
I was very fortunate in that my sons meds worked perfectly for them with the first dose prescribed. Often, though, it's...well, not a guessing game, but...it needs to be fine-tuned. You have to dial it in and get it right.
At the same time, even though you might see an instant improvement, or not see any improvement at all, to see the full effects of the dose takes time. As a general rule, with the initial prescription and each increase, our doctor has wanted to follow up in a month to see how they're doing on it. So, I would say to give it a bit more time (not necessarily a month if you feel it's not working), maybe another week or two. Also, talk to his teacher and find out how he is in class.
Also, you mention being on maternity leave. Consider that some of what he is doing might have nothing to do with the ADHD or the meds, but in fact is him reacting to the new baby. I'm thinking his wanting you to pick him up instead of going to the after school program could be that he knows you are home with the baby all day, and he's feeling a little left out.
|Fri, 09-17-2010 - 8:44am
|Thu, 09-16-2010 - 8:37pm
Vyvanse seems to be more of an 8 hour med, although it is advertised as being of longer duration. I would speak to the Dr and have it raised, until he gets to the dose that works for him longterm. He may even need to change to another med altogether.
A child may HAVE ADHD, but it is not what they ARE. Never tell a child they ARE ADHD.

With 15 consecutive quarters of economic growth, a strengthening housing market and other improving data, investors are now increasingly focused on what happens when the QE (quantitative easing) party begins to wind down. I think markets are—as they often do—looking at things from a "glass half empty" perspective.

The Mecklenburg County Bar will honor Elisa Chinn-Gary with the 2014 Julius L. Chambers Diversity Champion Award on Feb. 27 at the McMillan Fellowship Fund Dinner, according to a release from the Mecklenburg County Bar.
The award is presented to an individual who embodies high ethical standards, unquestioned integrity and consistent competence. The person also champions diversity in the legal profession.
Chinn-Gary is Mecklenburg County's Family Court administrator. She has also improved Race Matters for Juvenile Justice, which is a collaboration of judicial officials, system experts, service providers and community partners that works to lessen the effect of implicit bias and institutional racism on children and families, according to the release.
The program's vision is a Charlotte-Mecklenburg community where the makeup and outcomes of juvenile courts cannot be predicted by race or ethnicity.
Under Chinn-Gary's leadership, the program has partnered with agencies such as the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the Guardian Ad Litem program and The Council for Children's Rights to train more than 200 leaders in workshops titled "Dismantling Racism," the release said.
The series was so successful that the stakeholders asked for the series to be continued. And Chief Rodney Monroe asked that all CMPD school resource officers receive the training, according to the release.
Through the program, Chinn-Gary partnered with CMS and the U.S. Attorney's Office to teach CMS students about the history of racism in the country.
She also worked with Mecklenburg County judges and advocates to implement a series of roundtable discussions among school leaders, law enforcement, judges, attorneys, advocates and juvenile probation officials to discuss school discipline and court referral policies. The goal was to reduce suspension rates, impact dropout and graduation rates and limit the number of juvenile delinquency petitions.
Chinn-Gary earned a master of social work and a doctorate of law from UNC Chapel Hill and was admitted to the North Carolina State Bar in 1999. She was the recipient of the 2010 Raising the Bar Award and was honored by the Judiciary and Justice Initiatives for her excellence in court administration, according to the release.

text: 5 Items View: 12 / 24 / 48 OK - but there has to be a better design By JP on 11/7/2014 JP wouldn't recommend this product to a friend First off this does work. It's expensive for what you get but it works. Downsides 1) Instructions are crap. Do a youtube to see how to use this, but it's really sad how such an expensive product gets such poor instructions. 2) it's difficult to set the trap. You have to use two hands AND see it at the same time. Thus here I am with two arms deep trying to see the hole to set the trap. The trigger is not easy to set. Yes you will be able to set it but it's a pain 3) this is big - need a big level area to set this in. I think it would have been nice to have some included suction cups good trap, once i figured out the best way to use it. By Justin on 7/17/2013 Justin would recommend this product to a friend at first when dry testing the door did not seem to slide smoothly, and the pin to release it was on a hair trigger. it was also larger than i was expecting, so i didn't have a good spot to put it in my tank. if the trap is not level the pin that drops the door tends to float out, since it is buoyant. what i ended up doing was building a platform out of egg crate light diffuser that held on to the side and top of the aquarium rim that kept the trap perfectly level and suspended above the rock work. this was stable enough to keep the pin release from coming out before i wanted it to. the door seems to also slide better once it is in the water and the whole rig has warmed up a bit. i think a little warming an expansion helped it. once it was all set up, it was just a waiting game. as others have suggested, not feeding the tank for a day or so speeds up the process. i also did not use the included feed retention tube. by leaving that out i was able to have food floating all inside the trap, making it easier for the target fish to see, and lure him in. all in all a good piece once i improvised a few details. Works well By Michael on 6/12/2013 Michael would recommend this product to a friend I have used this product a few times and works well to catch fish. I like the option of putting the cone traps instead of the vents. I also used this to separate and acclimate a leapord wrasse to other wrasses that were picking on it and it worked awesome. simply the best !!!!!!! By Benjamin on 5/1/2013 Benjamin would recommend this product to a friend If you want to get a fish without dismantling your aquarium this is the solution Gone fishin' By Burto on 1/17/2013 Burto would recommend this product to a friend Pull up a chair and spend some quality time with your tank. Solidly built and works like a champ! Don't feed the fish for a couple of days before you use this and it will speed up the process.

Danske Bank (DANSKE) A/S's hybrid core capital note advanced to a 16-month high in Copenhagen after Jyske Bank A/S said the paper offered better returns than similar bonds issued by Nykredit A/S.
Danske Bank's perpetual, euro-denominated 4.878 percent note rose to 93.058, its highest since June 2011, outperforming Nykredit's perpetual, euro-denominated 9 percent bond.
Danske's note "will not only give a higher yearly return but will do so for a longer period of time," Christian Hede, an analyst at Silkeborg, Denmark-based Jyske Bank, said by phone. Hede cut recommendations on Nykredit's 9 percent bond to sell from buy and Nykredit's 4.901 percent note to hold from buy.
Record low yields on government and covered bonds have prompted a hunt for riskier assets offering higher returns. That's helped turn around demand for hybrid debt, which had seen an outflow of foreign interest earlier this year, Hede said. At the same time, a slowdown in writedowns probably will boost profits starting next year, particularly at Danske, he said.
"People are more certain that Danske Bank will be able to make money in coming years," Hede said. "The whole situation with Eivind Kolding being the new chief executive officer and coming up with a new strategy plan in October will also help the price."
Danske Bank is due to report third-quarter earnings on Oct. 30.

Decorate with fall colors and our Autumn Leaf Garland.
The 6 foot long Autumn Leaf Garland is a perfect accessory to any Fall event! Use the Autumn Leaf Garland around the office, classroom or at gala. The autumn garland features paper leaves in all of fall's colors.
Reviewed by 4 customers
Sort by
Best Uses
Festive decoration for the fall season. Subtle and not gaudy.
Best Uses
It's great that the leaves are fairly large (2"x2") and that they are thin and made of fabric. For my use on a stage the colours are great because they are brighter then nature. I will wrap the plastic vines with wire to shape them and make them appear more like branches.
In ordering I would have liked to know that I was getting a mixture off oak and maple vines and that the oak vines are entirely yellow. The vines are not 6 feet either. They are shorter then me - more like 5 feet. The leaves come off fairly easily too, but also go on easily again too. I need a lot, and can't risk that the lengths are shorter and that there will be different tree leaves so am ordering the rest of what I require elsewhere.
Best Uses
We got what we paid for so spend more and get a better garland. Would not buy again as these look fake and show plastic. The leaves are colorful but we have had better garlands. Wish this seller would stock a better fall selection of this type. We bought paper cups, table covers and a banner for this party from here and everything else was super hence 3 stars on this review but the garlands were below par quality.
Best Uses
Great colors. Looked great in photos. A little delicate.

Why the Internet Is Ground Zero in the Global Consciousness War
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The Internet is ground zero in the global consciousness war, between those entrenched forces that want to control consciousness and manage perception, to maintain their power and market share, and those other constituencies who represent a range of outsider perspectives. We are in a new kind of Renaissance - a creative entrepreneurial gold rush.
Over the last few months, I've been working on the release strategy for 2012 Time for Change, our documentary, with director Joao Amorim, producer Giancarlo Canavesio and the staff at Mangusta Films. This has been a great learning process for us, and it is still underway. The transformation of media that began with the launch of 'Web2.0' a number of years ago has continued, and is accelerating. At the same time, the old mechanisms for distributing and marketing independent films have broken down. The model of a new independent film debuting at a festival like Sundance or Toronto, then getting a decent deal with a distribution company that takes the film off the filmmakers' hands and brings them success and some financial reward has become a distant fantasy. Nowadays, very few films get such deals, and even when they do, the movies rarely pay back their investors, reward the creators, or make much of an impact in the mainstream.
In the new model that is still emerging, the creative energy of the filmmakers no longer ends with the completion of the film, but continues to be drawn upon for the entire life cycle of the project. The distribution and marketing of the film become a direct extension of the process of making it, and the creativity extends to every aspect of promoting, marketing, packaging, distributing, and showing it. On one side, this means that the artist can no longer be naive about business, or distanced from it, and hope to survive.
While artists have to become business savvy, on the other side, the business people have to become more like artists, sorting through all sorts of radical possibilities that didn't even exist a few years ago. In the film world and other cultural areas, business is becoming more like art, and art is becoming more inseparable from business. Art purists may feel this is a bad thing; although it is a bit exhausting for the creative person who might like to retreat to his studio, I like these new developments and find them promising as well as exciting.
We are in a new kind of Renaissance - a creative entrepreneurial gold rush. These days, at least half of the musicians and directors I meet seem to be developing "technology plays," new software systems and mechanisms for creating revenue and making their projects stand out in a blizzard of seemingly infinite options. The entire situation is maddening in it's intricate convoluted complexity, but also fascinating. In the breakdown of the old models, media has become incredibly liquid, like mercury that runs everywhere and can coagulate into any form, at least momentarily, before it flows away again.
The model of a discrete 90 minute film as the ultimate goal is beginning to give way as well. While theatrical release remains a happy outcome, many films, especially documentaries, may soon become more amorphous "projects," where the outtakes, extras, YouTube clips, video blogs, Twitter feeds, Facebook fan pages, etcetera, plus whatever comes next to replace these evanescent things, are integrated from the outset as elements of the creative vision of the whole. In the new model of independent self-distribution, films are conceived of as campaigns similar to political campaigns that need to mobilize the support of their audience even before they are finished, if possible.

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) — Police say an Oklahoma woman tripled her trouble when she stole a doughnut from someone's truck, peed in a parking lot and offered to perform a sex act on an officer for money.
The 27-year-old Tulsa woman was being held Thursday in Washington County Jail on charges of vehicle burglary, trespassing, indecent exposure and soliciting prostitution. Jail records do not show if she has a lawyer.
The Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise reports that the truck owner complained to police that the woman stole the doughnut at about 2 a.m. Wednesday. Aconvenience store clerk asked police to charge the woman because he said she relieved herself outside the store.
Officer R.S. Detherow says that when he told the woman she was under arrest, she offered to perform a sex act for money.

I understand that this is a question about a relationship and not about getting your dick wet. No one can or should tell you what decisions to make at this point in your life. You know the risks and need to decide for yourself wether the potential rewards are worth it.
Its like all relationships - there are pitfalls and mines scattered throughout it. The thing to remember is that dating a girl at work can have a bigger explosion than dating one outside of work.
If you can keep your head, be vigilant of signs of possessiveness/psychoness, and have a good running communication with her about the potential problems that can arise at work, then you've done your best to minimize the pitfalls. Worst case scenario, you break up and need to find a new job. Best case scenario you're still together when you die.
My parents met at work and are still together after 35 years. My wife and I currently work together (not the same). It can be done successfully.

Well, this year take a stand against the bore of standard dates like cocktails, coffee, a sporting event, bowling or a visit to the history museum – all of which don't lead to text-about-it first dates or relationship re-ignition dates. That said, make this the year of the anti dinner/movie date night and instead try one of these sixteen ideas that will set the stage to present the best version of yourself and also get to know your date much better than in a no talking allowed movie theater. Have fun and happy dating!
1. SHOP ON A DIME. Together, visit your local thrift, vintage or dollar store. Set a low price tag limit, say $10 and a time limit, say 30 minutes. Split up with the mission of rejoining after having purchased your date that perfect something for them. Explain why you chose what you did.
2. TASTE TEST. Exploring new tastes together cannot only be delicious, it can also be very sensual. Consider attending a wine, beer, cheese or even chocolate tasting. Share with each other what you already know about what you are tasting, as well as your opinions about each bite. Bon Appétit!
3. COOKING CHALLENGE. Meet your date at a bookstore cooking section. Mull through cookbooks until you find something delectable to cook for dinner. Shop for necessary ingredients and then together, create a culinary masterpiece!
4. REACH FOR THE STARS. Grab a cozy blanket and a bottle of vino for nature's best and most forgotten about date, stargazing. A local park, beach, or my personal favorite, a high school football field is the perfect setting to absorb the wonder of the night above. If you are looking for a daytime version, cloudgazing is just as good.
5. WAX POETIC. Nationwide, bars, coffeehouses and bookshops host weekly poetry slams where they turn the mic over to amateur poets. Hearing the rhythmic sounds from local minds and hearts of is spiritual and will give you and your date a lot to wax poetic on among yourselves. Take it to the next level by writing a poem to read to your date (warning: this act should only be reserved for he and she who are in l-o-v-e).
6. GIVE BACK. Giving back to the community that gives you and your date so much can bring you two closer together. A sense of peace and good fortune will bond you. Whether you opt to brighten the day of the elderly, serve food to the homeless, clean up the beach or engage in countless other opportunities, be sure to choose a volunteering activity that is meaningful to both of you.
7. GO GREEN. Explore the wonders of nature around you by taking an explorer's walk. Collect interesting things along the way such as leaves, flowers or rocks. Trace shadows. Draw favorite scenes. Frame or scrapbook your memories.
8. FRUIT OF THE GODS. Apples, strawberries, blueberries, you name it… filling up a basket of juicy, sweet goodness is a great way to spend a weekend day. This date gets you out of city dodge and into the country allowing for a fun mini road trip, plus picking fruit can be very playful… and you will have a bushel full of yummy, for which you can together or solo, make a pie!
