The spread at McGannon Showrooms
They helped soothe the growl of people's stomachs by serving light bites and drinks. Also featured in each showroom were individual raffle prizes for people in attendance. For those with bigger appetites, there were food trucks located on a few street corners filled with the smells of mouth-watering food.
The Kitchen Source had chefs from Subzero whip up some scrumptious tex mex finger foods for guests.
New Braunfels Downtown Design District is excited to announce their first ever downtown design stroll! It will be held Thursday, September 20, and the third Thursday of every month from 5 - 9 p.m.; so don't despair if you can't make it to this one. All seven shops will be open later hours for these events and each will have their own separate events and happenings. This downtown design stroll is not only a premiere event, it marks the grand opening of Adele Kerr & Company's showroom!
Most of us love looking at and gleaning inspiration from the colorful, glossy pictures from design professionals who've won an award (or a few). But all we see is that finished product frozen in a frame. Do you ever catch yourself wondering how they won; how many hours they poured in; what inspired them; what sort of steps led to this point; what is the story?
Debbie Baxter, Baxter Design Group, gives us a glimpse at each of her three projects. Two of them were for S.A.S. (based in San Antonio, but are scattered throughout the nation). The San Antonio location won first place in the retail category.

The San Antonio Shoe Company (S.A.S.) manufactures handmade shoes for working people. A majority of their clientele are medical professionals and anyone who is on their feet all day and needs a comfort shoe. S.A.S. has gotten more progressive in their shoe styles. They wanted a store with an ambiance that reflected the progressive, more stlyish shoe style; a place where people could feel hip and fashionable when they shopped, and not feel their need for a comfortable shoe was a handicap.
They hired the Baxter Design Group to create this new look for them.
"We started out at their anchor store with this theme of fashion-forward, so that's what's reflected in this interior of the dark, grey-washed wooden floors with almost commercial-looking carpet, which looks very mod and very hip," said Baxter. "We used a color scheme of teal, yellow, blue, green and these huge punches of white (white casework, white ceilings, big white lights) to give it that 'WOW' factor."
Overall the theme was crisp modern. They cleaned up the somewhat cluttered and overstocked S.A.S. displays, and added fun black and white photographs of graphics that came from archives of shoe-making and cobblers, which told the story of the shoes. There are also photos of their senior level cobblers that actually make the shoes in their factories.
Baxter decided to use a lot of leather throughout the store (upholstery, etc.), since the shoes are made from leather. The architect on the job, as well as the man who designed the case displays, was Roy Braswell from Braswell Architecture.
"Our goal was to give the interior of S.A.S.'s stores a very new, fashion-forward (S.A.S.-sy look) before the introduction of the new product," she said.
Come by and see us today and tomorrow at Dallas Market Hall at booth 313! Thank you, McGannon Showrooms for such an exquisitely designed booth. We've gotten so many compliments. Great to be among a plethora of talented and wonderful design professionals at Metrocon12.
Today, we featured the talented lip print reader, Kathyrn of Pucker Up, who told people their all-around personalities and what tastes and desires they had. What a fabulous time!
METROCON12 is the largest design-related regional expo and conference in the USA. The premier two-day event will take place at Dallas Market Hall [2200 Stemmons Freeway] on Thursday, August 9 and Friday, August 10, 2012.
METROCON is a resourceful alliance: a tradeshow and convention organized through landmark volunteer collaboration between the Texas Chapter of ASID [American Society of Interior Designers] and the Texas / Oklahoma Chapter of IIDA [International Interior Design Association]. In a determined effort to strengthen the design community, these two organizations have joined forces and pooled resources to offer the best in exhibitors and continuing education to their members and beyond.
METROCON focuses on introducing the latest in products and innovative ideas to the Southwest region's community of interior designers, architects, design students and other essential industry members.
Stacy Naquin, designer and friend of Denise McGaha of Denise McGaha Interiors, wrote a blog on McGaha's site praising her new service, Design on a Deadline. Below are her insights on how to get the most of your designer, budget and time.
With the rise of internet and technological advances, our expectations on time frames get shorter and shorter, which makes this service so appealing to many. Also understanding this need for quick service, I realized there was an entire market being underserved and not everyone could afford full service design which is why I launched Design in a Day.
If you're having a designer in your home for one day, there are a few things you can do to make the most use of your time:
1. Do your homework. The more work you put in on the front end, the more successful your project will be. Tear pages out of magazines, pin your favorite rooms from Pinterest, and look at websites like Houzz.com for ideas. You'll need at least 20 images, but more is better. Make notes of what you like such as the wall color, artwork, or overall feel of the space, etc.

Medal of Honor Recipient Leroy Petry
Jon Stewart just had an awesome interview with Sergeant Leroy Petry. Sergeant Petry is the latest, living, recipient of the Medal of Honor. A very brave and honorable soldier, he has an amazing story to tell. Whether you agree or disagree with the war, is moot. What's amazing about his story is the amount of courage, bravery and selflessness that one man can have towards his troops. His story can inspire us all the be better people (and he also shows off his kick-ass new robotic arm).
Here's the interview with Jon Stewart:
1 Comment
Wow, it surprises me that they would actually put Sergeant Leroy Petry on TV without some sort of political endorsement. It sickens me to see people like Sergeant Leroy Petry not getting more respect and praise for defending this great nation and sacrificing so much. Instead our TV is filled with political scandals and celebrity drug cases that people actually follow like a hawk. It's nice to see someone giving him respect, praise, and admiration for what he did for all of us.
Thank You Sergeant Leroy Petry for your sacrifice!

Are you completely into YOGA? It has become a new 'thing' of mine, but I also am having a hard time locating QUALITY products that scream 'ME' in them. I want durable products that don't fall apart after a few uses, and I also want them to look pretty. I am a girl in every sense of the word and I like my things to to in some way represent who I am whether with designs or color, hence the search for durable and function-able YOGA items has been my latest project. I also have a fond appreciation for a company that is basic, earthy and natural and very respectful of our environment, just like the practice and study of YOGA. I am simply wondering if it is possible to find a company that offers me individuality in products and at the same time find a company that works in sustaining a healthy environment in products that it produces?
I have to watch everything that comes into my home because I have one child that has severe latex allergies and a few mats out there in the retail world have LATEX in them. Once products come into my home all the kids try them out! I am quickly finding out that not all yoga mats are made to withstand being stood on, sat on and stretched on, as a matter of fact some don't last very long at all and a few are constructed almost entirely of LATEX. In my quest for great products and a great company that sustains our wonderful environment I have found BAREFOOT YOGA Co.
This mat is for EVERY type of YOGA.
Yoga class on this mat is a dream! This is the signature HYBRID mat of the Barefoot Yoga Company. The mat is Eco-friendly and the mat is good for the environment,. Do you know what the 'skeleton' of the mat is actually called? It is called a mesh scrim and the mesh scrim on the Hybrid Eco Mat is made from 100% recycled polyester which is what makes the mat strong and what makes it durable. Hybrid Mats by The Barefoot Yoga Company do not contain heavy metals, and when they are manufactured their production is completely non-toxic and LATEX free. Barefoot Yoga is a very environmentally friendly company. I would like to tell you a bit more about the environmentally savvy Barefoot Yoga Company: the wrap that the mat comes wrapped in is created from an Eco-friendly poly resin and is completely bio-degradable which means that it will break down once put into a landfill, and the sleeve that states what the mat is(all the care instructions, etc. is produced with a soy-based ink. Yoga is meant to balance your body, mind and soul, and while all this is occurring it is nice to know that the earth will remain balanced because the company that provides your YOGA mats is environmentally savvy and earth conscious!
I wiped my mat with a cloth( I used a cotton cloth, they recommend a terry cloth) before I used it in order to make the mat more traction-friendly. The mat is not machine washable. There are over 39 colors to choose for your mat. The mat is 24″ x 68″ x 0.15″ . I am simply inspired to use this mat just because the color is so pleasant to look at, just go ahead and laugh I know that is a lame reason to use something. The feel of the mat: soft, and cushiony, if you want to know its texture. My feet love my mat!
Mysore Yoga Practice Rug
Why would you want a Mysore Yoga Practice Rug? The rug is decorative and it is a very tightly woven cotton rug. Did you know that these rugs were the first mats used for yoga practice in INDIA? The Mysore rugs are completely biodegradable and PVC-free which keeps in sync with the companies principles of being Environmentally friendly.
If you participate in a YOGA that is actually sweat-producing you would use this particular mat. Additionally, you can rest this mat over the HYBRID ECO MAT which allows for a little more cushioning, which is helpful when you are practicing you sitting postures. Mat over mat is also helpful when you are doing standing postures because it aides in traction.
If you have used a Mysore before you know that it can be slippery until you actually damped it with some sweat(great right?). Your alternative option to get the mat to be less slippy is to lightly sprinkle you rug at the foot and hand positions with WATER before you start. You are not saturating the rug, merely sprinkling or spraying(with a spray bottle, misting) the mat to create a dampened effect, which will make it less slick. The rug is great once you start sweating because it will STOP the perspiration from your hands and feet! The more you can sweat during a YOGA workout the better your traction will become on this rug. There are multiple designs you can choose from as well so state your personality through your Rug!
Washing this 100% COTTON rug should occur only in COLD water. Do not place it in a TOP LOADING machine. If you wash it before class and it is not dry, it is actually great dampened and running out the door! (no sweat needed, but don't let that stop you from a great YOGA workout). I have only line dried mine but it is stated that you can throw it in the dryer on gentle. The rugs will not shrink, they simply tighten a bit after the drying process but I can tell you first hand they loosen up again with use, NO worries!
I can tell you that no matter what kind of Yoga you do, you will need your sleep. Sleep does a body good, but not everyone relaxes the same way. Do you like the smell of lavender? How about a cooling effect on your eyes? I love a cold pillow case and I love a cool feeling on my eyes, anything that will block out the day and any light. I have been fortunate enough to test out the Silk Sari Eye Pillow(Kamaraj).
I opened my package and I found this eye pillow. The pillow is filled with Flax Seed and Lavender and the cover is silk. If you travel there is a protective pillowcase for you to be able to tote your eye pillow. I placed the pillow on my eyes, wondering how in the world it was going to stay on, but, the pillow(the weight of the flax seed) contoured to my nose, and eyes and remained there until I fell asleep. The eye pillow smells of lavender and is very cool across the face – while I don't know how or why it is cool, I don't really care because it just feels really soothing on my eyes after a full day of work and exercise. The pillow's intended use is for deepening relaxation during Savasana, meditation and afternoon naps but my intended use is for getting away from it all and being able to relax before I doze off for the evening.
The pillow is hand washable, and refillable. The pillow comes with a protective pillowcase for travel. These pillows are one of the greatest items I have tried to date and they cooling sensation is like no other! These are a true find and would be a GREAT Holiday gift for ANYONE on your list. They are priced really fairly, under $20 WHICH is another reason I think you need them for everyone on your gift list. There are several designs available so you can rock your personality through this eye pillow as well!
I have received one or more of the items in this blog in return for my true and honest opinion and review as set forth in this blog.

SEED SPOT is an entrepreneurial incubator that helps early stage socially conscious ventures take root in Phoenix, Arizona. Read more
SEED SPOT is an entrepreneurial incubator that helps early stage socially conscious ventures take root in Phoenix, Arizona.
About this project
SEED SPOT: The Documentary is a film project by Anna F. Miller about an innovative nonprofit opening up in Phoenix, AZ in the fall of 2012. Arizona has a reputation for being a great place for startups, but SEED SPOT is the first of its kind. SEED SPOT is an entrepreneurial incubator that helps early stage social entrepreneurs succeed and stay in Phoenix. Specifically, SEED SPOT supports entrepreneurs that possess an idea to improve the lives of people or communities on a local, national, or global scale.
Entrepreneurs selected for the 18-week program are surrounded by local innovators, mentors, corporate partners, and service providers. Our goal is to select a handful of these entrepreneurs and follow their story as they grow their companies. SEED SPOT entrepreneurs will have experiences along their journey that other aspiring dreamers can learn from in a documentary film.
Additionally, the SEED SPOT model is built for replication into new cities in the years ahead. The ability to capture the launch and progression of SEED SPOT in its first year may enable a national movement to take shape, all grown out of Phoenix, Arizona.
As filmmakers desiring to tell the story of SEED SPOT, we are relying on backer's support. We will use the funds from Kickstarter for 6 months of production. We want this experience to be as interactive as possible for everyone who gets involved.
We will start with documenting the architectural renovation process of an old building, and capture everything that evolves inside, i.e. from applicant selection to the final pitch night. The surprises that develop will be part of the fun of having insider access.
Kickstarter is the platform that enabled us to think this was even possible. But if we don't make our goal then we don't get funded. So even the smallest amount is appreciated. All backers will receive regular email updates.
Meet Courtney Klein Johnson:
Meet Chris Petroff:
Dan Sorensen is a Phoenix based photographer who loves exploring and finding structures with architectural character and significance. His work has been shown locally at the Phoenix Art Museum, Thiq Ink Gallery, Scottsdale Trading Post and in 944 Magazine.

Kingsgate swamped by water trouble
PUBLISHED: 28 Oct 2011 10:36:27 | UPDATED: 28 Oct 2011 11:47:47PRINT EDITION: 28 Oct 2011
Goldminer Kingsgate Consolidated said production fell 11 per cent in the September quarter as operations were hit by heavy monsoonal rains and a water shortage.
Total gold production in the September quarter was 32,992 ounces, compared with 36,877 ounces in the June Quarter, the Sydney-based company said in a statement on Friday.
Group operating cash costs were $US815 an ounce over the September quarter, an improvement of 4 per cent, despite reduced production.
But, it said: "Gold sales in the quarter of 33,330 ounces at $US1699 per ounce maintained a strong operating cash margin."
Production at its Chatree operation in Thailand was 14,428 ounces, down from 16,180 ounces in the June quarter. Its Challenger mine in South Australia produced 18,564 ounces, down from 20,697 ounces in the previous quarter.
Cash costs in the September quarter was $US608 an ounce at Chatree and $US975 at Challenger, compared with $US583 and $1059, respectively, in the June quarter.
However, the Chatree operations had continued despite monsoonal rains cutting access roads and restricting pit access, the company said.
"At Challenger, production was impacted by a water shortage resulting from a water bore failure that restricted ore treatment through the process plant," the company said.
Kingsgate also said it had completed its acquisition of the Bowdens silver project in NSW; a resource estimate of 99 million ounces of contained silver (or 131Moz silver equivalent) had been released and the feasibility study had been started.

hi, my st170 has just developed bit of a problem. i think the clutch is on its way out, but me, not knowing anything about cars, thought i better check with some people that do.
the other day i was pulling out of a busy junction, so i gave it some revs and let the clutch out whilst in 1st gear and tried to pull out into a smallish gap in the traffic, which normally wouldnt be a problem, but ended up accelerating out the junction ridiculously slow with the rev counter practically on the redline, resulting in bit of a burning smell and lots of light flashing and finger gesturing from the guy who nearly ran into the back of me
if it is the clutch, does anyone have any idea how much it might cost, or is there any upgraded clutch i could get that doesnt cost the earth??

(HockeyStL) -- Only a few players skated this morning for the Blues in the optional practice at the Mills. David Backes was not one of them. His availability for tomorrow night remains in question. Ken Hitchcock said he would not have been able to play if there was a game tonight.
"All I know is that he's upright right now," said Hitchcock. "We don't have any further information, and probably won't until tomorrow night."
Chicago's Brent Seabrook was suspended for 3 games for the hit on Backes late in the third period in Game 2. He might have received a longer suspension, but the league cited the fact that he has never before been suspended during his nine year NHL career. That doesn't change the fact the Blues have lost their captain and one of their best players.
"It was a gutless hit I think," said Blues enforcer Ryan Reaves. "It's a player targeting one of our best players and captain. To me it looked gutless from the replays I've seen."
To make things even worse, Chicago's Duncan Keith was heard on the bench yelling "wakey wakey" to Backes as was he helped off the ice. Needling the other team is one thing, mocking an injured player is another.
"It makes it more gutless," said Reaves. "You don't need to be going after him when he doesn't even know where he is. But if they want to get into that battle we can play the same way.
"Whatever you have to do, you do, " said Hitchcock. "It's a nasty, physical, intense series. That's what playoff hockey is about."
Hitchcock said he was more upset about the hit on Vladimir Sobotka from Bryan Bickell, than the one on Backes.
Sobotka was hit on the knee near center ice by Bickell.
"When you're leg whipping people that's a career. That's career ending. That's an ACL, career ending. Something you don't want to see on either side."
Patrik Berglund, who was injured late in the regular season by a legal hit, skated on Sunday in practice. Berglund said his shoulder is feeling better, and he should be back in the line-up soon.
"You try to get back to normal as fast as you can," said Berglund. "I got to push it a little bit so I can get out there and help the team."
If there's a silver lining to be found with the Blues injuries it's that players like Chris Porter and Adam Cracknell have stepped up and produced. Both guys have scored in the series, and provided the kind of quality depth that any team needs to make a long run in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Edinburgh See And Do
Castle Hill
Scotland EH1 2NG
Tel: 44 131 225 9846
Even if poking around old castles isn't your thing, come for the views from its perch on an extinct volcano. For the history buffs, there are the former royal apartments (Mary Queen of Scots gave birth here), the Crown Room, and the city's oldest building, St Margaret's Chapel (built around 900 years ago). Just be warned: The extremely loud One O'clock Gun is fired from here, which makes locals and visitors jump on a daily basis. Each August, the Military Tattoo takes place on the esplanade, and the castle makes a stunning backdrop for the firework displays at the end of the Edinburgh Festival and on Hogmanay (New Year's Eve).
Edinburgh becomes an altogether different, wilder animal during the festivalwell, festivals, to be precise. The edgy Fringe (comedy, contemporary music, theater, and dance), the highbrow Edinburgh International Festival (classical music, theater, opera, and dance), the Edinburgh Art Festival, and the International Book Festival, all run concurrently through August. The International Film Festival was moved to June in 2008, although there are suggestions that it may move back.
The Fringe is the world's largest arts fest on its own, and a full-on party from beginning to end, thanks in part to the 17,000 artists and performers who decamp here from all over the world. (The population doubles, so book accommodations as early as possible and expect inflated rates.) The Fringe is open to all "performers," so quality can range from the unwatchable (students from the back of beyond massacring Shakespeare) to the outstanding (Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, and Craig Ferguson all got their start here). There are also niche performances that you'll have to see to believe, like a retelling of Ovid's Metamorphoses performed in a swimming pool. Look to The Scotsman, London's Guardian, and Edinburgh arts and entertainment magazine The List to ensure that you don't book a dud. For more sober arts fans, the EIF is a full-on culture fix, with performances that might include all of Beethoven's string quartets over three days, Wagner's complete Ring Cycle, and an American Repertory Theater production of Chekhov's Three Sisters. There's less fanfare around the book, art; and film festivals, but they're not poor relations: Year after year they turn out world-class programs. Start checking the festival Web sites in June, and book early.
For a completely different view of the city, try Edinburgh's Hogmanay or New Year celebrations, which attract tens of thousands of revelers from all over the world. A street party, torchlight processions, riotous ceilidhs, fireworks over Edinburgh Castle, and open-air concerts featuring bands such as Primal Scream, Kasabian, and the Scissor Sisters all help ring in the New Year.—Update by Jonathan Trew

The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art's collection includes more than 5,000 pieces from the 19th century to the present. Sculptures by Tony Cragg, Barbara Hepworth, and Henry Moore, and Charles Jencks's beautiful Landform (crescent-shaped pools set in grassy mounds) can be found on the extensive grounds (75 Belford Rd.). A portion of the permanent collection can be viewed across the street at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Two, which also holds a large number of the Edinburgh-born sculptor Sir Eduardo Paolozzi's work (73 Belford Rd.). Portraits of famous and not so famous Scots hang in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Its red sandstone neo-Gothic building, which reopened in December 2011 following a $27.7 million refit which increased the exhibition and public space by 60 percent, is itself worth a visit (1 Queen St.). First opened to the public in 1859, the National Gallery of Scotland has amassed a fantastic collection of European paintings and sculpture from the Renaissance to post-Impressionism (The Mound). Adjacent to the National Gallery, the Royal Scottish Academy Building exhibition space was fully refurbished before reopening in 2003 with a Monet show that attracted 170,000 visitors (The Mound).

One building is 19th-century, the other modern, but a link between these neighboring museums makes it possible to walk from the past to the present. The Royal Museum is in a stately Victorian building which reopened in 2011 following a complete refurb. It has a huge entrance hall bathed in natural light and holds a collection of decorative arts and exhibits from science and industry, archaeology, and the natural world. Time your visit to the chiming of the 32-foot Millennium Clock, a kinetic masterpiece in the Main Hall (11 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., and 4 p.m.). Opened in 1998 in a modern-day castle, the Museum of Scotland covers Scotland's history from the burial practices of its earliest inhabitants to the modern-day scientific pioneers who created the world's first cloned mammal: Dolly the sheep, whose remains are now stuffed for posterity and exhibited.
The City Art Centre, located in a former Victorian warehouse, is home to Edinburgh's collection of Scottish art; temporary exhibits run the gamut from Michelangelo drawings to Star Trek exhibits (2 Market St.; 44-131-529-3993). Transformed from a Victorian market, the Fruitmarket Gallery is a modern space with two floors of contemporary art exhibits (45 Market St.; 44-131-225-2383). Dundas Street has numerous commercial galleries selling everything from originals by the Scottish Colourists to established contemporaries such as John Bellany and Adrian Wiszniewski. Hidden away at the back of Waverly Railway Station, the Ingleby Gallery is worth seeking out if you are interested in contemporary art. Artists' talks, a film club, and public art projects keep things lively (15 Calton Rd.; 44-131-556-4441).—Updated by Jonathan Trew

The official residence of the Queen when she fancies a night in Edinburgh, Holyrood is open to commoners when her Majesty is elsewhere; which is most of the year. The Royal Apartments are as grand as you might expect, with magnificent pictures, particularly those of the kings of Scotland by Jacob de Wet, providing the glitz. It's a historically important palace. Mary Queen of Scots was married in the now ruined Abbey here, and it was in her private apartments that she saw her secretary Rizzio murdered. The adjacent Queen's Gallery hosts work from the Royal Collection.

Established in 1670, the Botanics (as they're more commonly known) are a must for horticulturalists—even in the dead of winter, when the ten glasshouses come into their own. In warmer months, stroll around the Chinese Hillside, the Rock Garden, and the Scottish Heath Garden. The Queen Mother's Memorial Garden opened in July 2006 and has a labyrinth in the middle. The Terrace Café is a regular hangout for mums, kids, and strollers and has great views over the city.

She is now decommissioned, but the Britannia traveled to 600 ports in 135 countries in the 44 years in which she served as the Royal Family's floating palace. A self-led audio-tour guides visitors through the five decks, taking in the luxurious royal living areas and the rather more cramped sailors' quarters. Sir Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Boris Yeltsin, and President Reagan have all eaten with the Queen in the stately dining room where setting the table took three hours for each meal. Apparently, the Britannia is the only place where tourists can see a living monarch's bedroom, although, to be honest, its flowery decor is little different from any other old lady's chamber. The only double bed on board was brought on by Prince Charles for his honeymoon cruise.

Highlights of Catalonian architect Enric Miralles's extraordinary complex include the west side's stainless-steel windows (some of which have oak latticing), a section of roof that looks like upturned boats, and the Canongate Wall, which is set with stones from around Scotland and inscribed with quotations. It also has a shop, a café, and even a day-care center for young children. Guided tours include an up-to-the-minute introduction to Scottish politics, as well as covering the building itself. If you have the legs for it, walk up the adjacent Arthur's Seat hill for a bird's-eye view of the Parliament and the rest of the city.

An imposing stone edifice punctuated by stained-glass windows, St. Giles' Cathedral looms over surrounding buildings on the Royal Mile, and its spire is a dominant feature of the city's skyline. Founded in 1120 as a small Catholic church, additions were made over the years until, by the mid-16th century, it held 50 altars. John Knox, leader of the Scottish Reformation, broke St. Giles' ties with Rome in 1560, and today, St Giles' is considered the mother church of Presbyterianism.

Current Time
Spain nightlife
Spanish nightlife is legendary, and for good reason. This is the country that brought the world Ibiza-style house music and the international nightclub group Pacha. Yet not every night has to pulse with the beats of electronic and house music. Sophisticated cocktail bars are more popular than ever in Spain, as are theme bars (ever hear of Spanish country music?). Bohemian bars like Barcelona's Tinta Roja, with poetry readings, comedy nights, and classic film screenings, abound in the artsy districts of the big cities.
City dwellers tend to hit the first bar of the night after dinner ends (around 1 am), and then migrate to thediscotecas, or nightclubs, by 3 am, dancing till dawn. Cover charges vary widely, but you should expect to pay upward of 20 euros in classy venues. Dress to impress; trendy nightspots have strict dress codes and only allow those who look the part to cross their thresholds.
The Spaniards' deeply ingrained love for fiestas means that any city or town can host a good party, but a few stand out. Madrid residents are known as gatos (cats) for their late-night prowling; the city is famous for 3 am traffic jams caused by throngs of partiers. Seaside resorts, especially on the islands of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Gran Canaria, are also known for their nightlife.

Watch Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants live stream online free NFL games 2012
Watch Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants live stream online free NFL games 2012 HD video.
Watch New York Giants vs Dallas Cowboys live stream online free NFL games 2012 HD video.
Watch 2012 NFL Games live on PC, iPad, iPhone and Android.
The 2012 NFL season, the 93rd regular season of the National Football League, is set to begin Wednesday, September 5, 2012, and will end with Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, February 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Here are some of the legitimate ways to watch NFL games beyond those available on over-the-air broadcasts and basic cable:
•With the software(the best way):
Watch online: Satellite Direct .
•Many games are offered through the NFL Network channel. You can order this from your cable or satellite provider. This channel carries all the preseason games, weekly season games and hosts the popular show, NFL Total Access. It also includes "NFL Replay," which offers the five best games of the week.
•For a free but legitimate viewing option, check out Hulu's NFL page online. You can watch past games, highlights and interviews. Just look under your favorite team's name or in the Game of the Week section.
The NFL kicks off its 2012 season with a good old-fashioned rivalry game, not to mention one that could have a profound impact on the playoff picture down the road.
It all begins with the exact same matchup in which the league closed out its 2011 regular season, with the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys facing off in a grudge match at MetLife Stadium. The two NFC East contenders last locked horns in Northern New Jersey on New Year's Day in what turned out to be one of the most pivotal outcomes of last year's campaign, a 31-20 victory by the Giants.
With Miles Austin returning from an injury, in addition to the improvements made to the defense, including first-round draft choice Morris Claiborne from LSU, the Cowboys could have one of their best teams in years.
Being the opponent at the Giants' Super Bowl banner raising celebration should supply the Cowboys with all the motivation they need to dominate on Wednesday.
Confidence is a major part of the current Cowboys team, and for Tony Romo to have the most confidence throughout the season, he has to lead the team to some early wins. An uphill battle towards a playoff spot is not the scenario the Cowboys want to find themselves in late in the year.
Six of the last seven meetings have been decided by less than 14 points, and the Giants are 4-2 in those matchups. The Cowboys need to prove that they can win close games against top competition, especially in the division. If you cannot win close games, you're not a Super Bowl-worthy team.
Even though it's a long season, the Cowboys need to win their season opener against the Giants. The outcome of this game will set the tone for the rest of Dallas' season, which is currently one full of promise.
Dallas needs to make a statement in this game, and show the NFL that they will be one of the teams to beat on the road to Super Bowl XLVII.
But seriously, Andrew Luck was brought here to be the future of the Indianapolis Colts and with Peyton Manning running the Broncos offense, the future is now.
Luck has a tall task ahead of him to try and lead a much-depleted Colts team back to the playoffs in 2012, but Jim Irsay and management have a great piece to build around for the future.
Just like Luck before him, Robert Griffin III was brought into Washington to be an immediate starter. I mean, generally you don't give up three first round picks and two number twos to have a guy ride the pine.
Griffin is probably in a better situation than Luck to succeed right away because of the defense and offensive weapons around him. But Griffin does have the misfortune of playing in the NFC East. No easy task for even the most veteran quarterback.
If RGIII can get Washington to seven wins and go .500 in the division, Skins fans should consider it a big success and look to have a bright future with this kid.
Considering the Browns offense has been among the worst in football for the last few seasons, I'd say it's pretty easy to think Trent Richardson is going to be the go-to back in Cleveland for some time to come.
Cleveland traded up one spot to grab Richardson and with Montario Hardesty being the only real "threat" to his touches, look for the former Alabama back to take the featured role with the Browns in 2012.
With a feature running back and quarterback of the future already in place, it made perfect sense for the Vikings to go out and grab the draft's best left tackle to anchor their offensive line for the next decade.
No matter how much players and coaches talk about his gains in leadership, no matter how much faith the organization has in him, no matter how patient they are, it comes down to making throws under pressure.
The early snapshot says the defense can be really good, but that a limited offense could be the obstacle to the surprise the Jaguars would so like to produce. There is a lot of time to work on what's been installed, to find what works and to run it better than it's been run so far.
Is Gabbert good enough? He folded under pressure too often last season, but the rush wasn't all he was facing. The team drafted him 10th overall intending for him to sit and learn for a season, but that didn't pan out and he was hurried into starter status for 14 games during which he had poor pass protection and very limited receivers.
There were big distractions off the field, too: Jack Del Rio got fired and the team was sold.
Mularkey was hired in large part because he's developed quarterbacks, and Mularkey, coordinator Bob Bratkowski and quarterbacks coach Greg Olson have to get steadier play from Gabbert and get his arrow pointing up. His good moments look very nice. There are still too many bad ones that leave you trying to figure out what just happened. A kneel down would seem less disheartening in those instances.
It's a slow process, installing a new offense and rebuilding a quarterback's confidence. How slow, is the question we need answered.
Mentions of mechanical or technical adjustments by his coaches have been well-received, and he acts on them quickly. That's great, but when the rush turns live and the pocket starts collapsing, will he have open people he can stand in and find? We simply can't know yet.

United States Attorney Jenny A. Durkan
Western District of Washington
KORY BOYD, of Vancouver, Washington, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 34 months of prison and three years of supervised release for attacking an African-American man in a local Vancouver, Washington, bar.
On January 7, 2010, J.C., an African American, met with some friends at Captain's Sports Bar in Vancouver, Washington. Of about a dozen people in the bar, J.C. was the only African American. While J.C. talked with friends at the bar, Zachary Beck, an avowed white supremacist, summoned the bartender and told him that J.C. should leave, or there would be a problem. The bartender passed this along to J.C., but J.C. did not leave. Beck contacted KORY BOYD and asked that he and Lawrence Silk come to the bar. BOYD, and Silk each are self-avowed white-supremacists. BOYD and Silk met Beck outside the bar where they agreed to go inside and attack J.C. because J.C. is African American. Prior to entering the bar with BOYD and Silk, Beck had complained that J.C. should not be kissing our women, referring to white women.
Beck went into the bar first and approached J.C. directly. He leaned into J.C. and whispered into his ear that J.C. should leave or there would be a problem. J.C. asked Beck what he was talking about, at which point J.C. saw Silk and BOYD approach. Beck said, "I told you, you didn't want to be here." J.C. asked again what the problem was, and Beck told him that he should not be "kissing our girls." J.C. explained that he had not kissed anybody, but Beck ignored him. Instead, Beck looked back at BOYD. Beck then swung his fist powerfully at J.C.'s head. J.C. ducked the punch and put Beck into a headlock. He dragged Beck behind the bar and held him as a shield against BOYD and Silk, who were trying to strike J.C. with their fists and with bottles or glasses in their hands. BOYD threw a glass at J.C., shattering it near J.C.'s head and showering him with shards of broken glass. While J.C. held Beck, Silk and BOYD yelled, "White power! Kill that f--- n---!" When one of J.C.'s friends told J.C. to let go of Beck, J.C. complied and pushed Beck away. Silk, BOYD, and Beck then left the bar yelling statements such as, "We're going to get you, n---. White power!"
J.C. suffered minor injuries from the assault, including a cut on his left arm, bruising on his forearms, and a sore chin.
On November 9, 2010, BOYD pleaded guilty to one count of Interference with a Federally Protected Right. Zachary Beck is scheduled for trial on March 21, 2011.

Name withheld Answer: You have to give a 3-month notice according to the new law but it also depends on the company. It is possible it could accept a notice for a lesser period. If not, then you can give notice for a certain period and pay for the period which is short of three months. This is equal to your salary for that period.

I tweeted earlier this week that I had a lovely "Thursdate" at The Breslin, in the Ace Hotel.
I was in charge of the date itinerary and decided to check this out at the suggestion of two separate girlfriends. One specifically said, "Only go if you like a lot of meat." Well, this little Filipina was stoked. I checked out the menu and decor (of course!) and set our course downtown Thursday night.
The Breslin Bar and Dining Room is the latest project from the crew over at The Spotted Pig (Aka Chefs April Bloomfield and Peter Cho) does not disappoint. We were given an hour wait time (totally in line w/ most nyc dining) and the hostess (in a Grace Jones T shirt!!!) kindly gave me a call when our table was ready. As you can see, the decor and ambiance are right up my alley-dark, masculine, and cozy-and it was a great backdrop for a low-key night to reconnect after a hectic week.
We were seated in the back near the kitchen at the corner table of the leather banquette (pic 3). Behind us was a divider inlaid with what looked like the bottoms of antique crystal ash trays (pic 2) that sparkled in the low light. The level of detail in the decor was amazing: substantial, thick, heavy woods and metals are used throughout. There are touches of glamour as seen above but there's also a utilitarian flair that works well in a busy restaurant. The waitstaff were very laid-back but passionate and knowledgable about the food and every suggestion was spot-on.
We started out with the scrumpettes, which is basically their take on a lamb fish stick. Lamb tenders are breaded in panko, deepfried, and paired with a mind-blowingly simply yet savory dipping vinegar made from balsamic vin and mint. Then, I got the burger (awesome) and my bf got the pork chop, which had a thick band of fat around it that I hijacked and devoured.
Overall, "Thursdate" was a huge success. The food was amazing, the decor and ambiance were on point, and the vibe is relaxed and casual. I highly recommend.
The Breslin is located at 20 W 29th St, in between 5th Ave and Bway.

Homemade Handprint Ornaments
This year for Christmas, I wanted to do a homemade craft with my 8-month-old daughter, Zoey…but I was completely perplexed as to what we could do that would actually involve her! Luckily for me, I have some really crafty friends, and my friend Jessie (who happens to be a super-awesome mom to twins) inspired me by trying homemade handprint ornaments with her little ones, who are just a month older than Zoey. While Zoey wasn't the most willing participant, we did manage to get several really cute ornaments that will make great gifts for grandparents and aunties this holiday season!
Homemade Handprint Ornaments
Jimmie @ onceamonthmeals.com (adapted from this recipe)
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup salt
- 7 tbsp water
- Round cookie cutter (I used a drinking glass instead)
- 1 drinking straw
- Craft paint
- Ribbon
Preheat oven to 300°F. Mix together flour, salt, and water. Knead for 15 minutes (or use the dough hook on your stand mixer – so easy!). Roll out the dough to no more than 1/4-inch thick, then use the cookie cutter (or glass) to make rounds. Press child's hand into dough. If you're doing this with really little ones, you may have to go back and make deeper impressions of their hands with your fingers or a kitchen utensil–the deeper the impression, the better your ornaments will turn out! Use a straw to poke a hole in each ornament (this is where the ribbon will go later). Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden. Wait for ornaments to cool, then paint as desired and thread a ribbon through each straw hole to create ornament hangers.
Freezing Directions:
Not recommended for this recipe.
Servings: 1 batch will yield approximately 6-8 ornaments.

Great idea! I just tried it & after my ornament was placed in the oven, the flour rose & made the handprint disappear :( do you have any suggestions for me?
I had the same problem last night. Have you found any solutions. I was so dissapointed!
Try cooking them at a lower temp (200) for a longer time (about an hour). I can't explain the science of why this work, but lower and slower cooking seems to do the trick.
I just tried this, my pre baking prints were beautiful but once they went into the oven they puffed up really bad and the prints disappeared. Is there a trick that I'm missing??
I've been doing these for years and i just let them air dry it takes a few days though
I think the puffing up problem may have to do with how long the dough is kneaded. 15 – 20 minutes is quite a stretch of time in the real world and if youre anything like me, I only knead my for about 5 minutes….. what happened? Puffy ornaments! Next batch I will kneaded for the full 20 minutes.
the temp is entirely too hot.. 300 is NO good.. must be 200 for 1-2 hours. lord.
Thank you! I have been looking for something like this. Now i have a craft for my almost 1 month old and christmas gifts :)
Great idea! I remember my boys making ornaments a few years ago and they added some ground clove to the dough. They still smell good, too!
I did this last night with my kids – huge success! http://child-bearing-hips.blogspot.com/2011/12/handprints.html
Did this last night with my girlies! Love it!
I did this tonight with my kids. I baked them for a full hour but they were still a bit soft. They puffed up through the center and when I look at the bottom its basically a big concave doughy bowl in the middle. I'm not sure if it would be ok to put them back in or not.
I just got a 9 week old puppy and did this with him so I can remember his puppyhood lol love it
I just added a few drops of food coloring and some glitter to the flour mixture and it turned out so great, since my girls are not old enough to paint them.
Are they terribly fragile? I want to ship these to out of state family and friends as gifts, but don't want them to break on the way there!
Do i have to bake them immediately? i teach a preschool class and want to do them at class then take them home to bake them?
So I ran out of salt at my house, will this work without salt or can I use seasoning salt? My 4 year old was looking forward to doing this & was heartbroken when I told him we had no salt.
I was wondering how long these last? Thought it might be cute to make new ones every year and decorate tree with all the handprints from years past.
I can tell you they last for well over 20 years. When I was a child, we made these in daycare. I am almost 30, and I still have mine. Your idea will work beautifully! ;-)
This recipe is great! Much better than the baking soda corn starch recipe I found. What sort of craft paint did you use? It looks shiny which I like. I have some acrylic, will the ornament soak it up though?
Thanks for sharing. Now I wish I had a mixer to knead the dough.
I'm sure these will do just fine if you let them air dry. Put them on a rack to dry. It will just take longer than bakig them, but it would alleviate the "rising" in the middle
Mine rose a little too but took them out and pushed them back down and poked a few little holes in them and reduced heat to 200 F an baked for two hours. My concern is they still feel a little soft I'm going to put them bake in the over and let air dry for a few days before painting.
How did that work? I did the same thing and figured I'd let them sit overnight… Its only been a couple of hours though…
I can't wait to do this art project with my 4 yr old daughter and 5 and 3 yr old nieces. But I'm a little concerned about the rising issue. I read all the posts, but didn't see any solutions. Nina wrote something about it a few lines up, but I'm not sure if she was talking about not having salt in the recipe, or using a mixer to knead the dough. Maybe I will try Victoria's method: lower the heat and extend the baking time :) Wish me luck.
Could you do this with other cookie cutters and not just handprints???
I have a great tip!!!!!! After you bake these off and they cool, Paint with Elmers glue then sprinkle with glitter. Shake off excess it will look amazing hanging from your tree!
I grew up making salt dough ornaments with my mother, and this year I finally get to make them with my new son! A tip for the dough is to add maybe two drops of hand dishwashing liquid. It helps sticking and also I think to help keep the dough from rising. You can also try adding more salt to the dough. Bake them low and slow.
I just made this for some relatives for Christmas. Since my kids have big hands, I simply rolled out the dough, and baked it at 250F for an hour. I had no puffing and no rising (I just used regular flour). What I did notice though is the thinner you make the ornaments, the better the handprints turn out. But they all look fabulous!
Wow.. this is such a cute idea. I know Christmas is far away but I am going to try this soon for some occasion with my 2 years old.
Do you paint them after they have dried, or do you mix in the paint or food coloring with the mixture and then do the handprint? Also, can they just be air dried?
I wonder if putting them in the dehydrator would solve the puffing problem?
I made something similar to this yesterday and I can't get them out of my Pyrex. I tried putting them in the freezer to see if that would pop them out kind of like a candle. Didn't work. Any ideas?
This was an epic fail. The dough was so sticky that it just stuck to her hand when she tried to lift her hand up. We followed the directions to a tee. What did we do wrong?!
i just made 3 with my daughter and the first one came out good the second one came out puffy and lost some of the prints of her foot and toes and fingers haven't put the 3rd one in yet so i dont know what i did differently
I made these yesterday. I started with my oven at 300…but then read the comments and turned it down to 200. They came out perfectly! Now I just have to decide how I'm going to have the kids I nanny paint them…hmmm…Lol
Awesome Christmas present for them to give to their parents!
I tried making these. They turned out pretty good, but are too heavy to be ornaments. How can I make them lighter?
A trick I was told to keep the dough from puffing up is to put very small holes into the dough so that the air escapes. Be careful with the holes though because they can show up when you bake them if they are to big. My friend said that she used a bow or small decoration to cover her holes. It is something to play with. She has used this reciped for designs other than handprints also.
[…] Homemade Hand Print Ornaments Using salt clay you can roll out some circles and help your child press his hand print into the soft clay. Allow it to dry before painting. […]
Is there anyway you can do this with out salt?
We are going to do this but we are going to make the circle pattern bake then paint them, then paint the kids hands and plant on them…. Because we will be doing this as a class project at school….
[…] Homemade Hand Print Ornaments Using salt clay you can roll out some circles and help your child press his hand print into the soft clay. Allow it to dry before painting. […]
I just made these and they came out perfect. I didn't knead the dough for the required 15 minutes either. I was worries when I read the other comments, but I didn't have the same problems.
okay guys! im about to try this with my 18 month old….i really hope it turns out good!
I want to make these but turn hand prints into santa faces. my problem is I do not have access to any types of paints other than crayola washable paints.and latex housr paints. I do have clear varnish to seal them. will this work?
The dough rises when you make them too thick. Try rolling the dough thinner.

Stand with cancer patients: advance cures and improve access to life-saving therapies!
Tens of thousands of people will be diagnosed with cancer this week. Your voice now can help more of them survive.
This spring, LLS patient-advocates will be on Capitol Hill working to support research towards cures and improve access to treatment. There is legislation in Congress that, if passed, could make a huge difference for cancer patients and their families.
- The Part D Beneficiary Appeals Fairness Act (S. 1365/ H.R. 2827) will ensure that seniors with cancer can access the medications they need without being held back by insurance companies' restrictive "specialty tiers" drug designations.
- The Patients' Access to Treatments Act would end harmful "specialty tiers" drug pricing that makes it harder for patients to afford the treatments they need – ending this practice would give patients the treatments they need to survive.
Advance cures and improve access – declare it by sending your letter to Congress today, and we'll personally deliver your name to Congress on May 7th.

Ellis native joins music legends by playing at famous Carnegie Hall

An Ellis native has made the leap from performing in Ellis High School's auditorium to Carnegie Hall.
Cornell Kinderknecht, a 1981 graduate living near Dallas, will play his original work June 7 in a solo act and in a duet for the U.S.A.-Japan Goodwill Concert. The woodwind musician, who is considered a world/new age artist, will play the ocarina and flute.
Kinderknecht traced his love of music to his early years. His siblings joined his late mother, Angie, in her polka band, Angie's Polka Band. She nurtured her children's interests.
"It was a really big influence to always have that music in the house, and really be encouraged to do whatever we were drawn to do," he said.
The musician started on the saxophone and later learned the piano. During his college years at Kansas State University, he studied classical music. A woodwind instrument convention introduced him to what he later would play to approximately 3,000 people in Carnegie Hall.
Music is his passion because of its complexity and variety.
"I think with music, there's this cross between the creative aspect of it as well as the theoretical aspect ...It's almost like a mathematical puzzle," he said. "There's a lot of fascination in that."
Kinderknecht worked as a software engineer before he committed to music full-time seven years ago. His career has spanned three CDs and two nominations for Musician of the Year at the Texas Music Awards. The musician also tours the nation playing concerts and teaching workshops.
Kinderknecht's sister, Janetta Heroneme, Ellis, said she is proud of her brother.
"Since childhood, with his natural talent intact, Cornell has had a wonderment with music -- with a need to know, to learn more, to play all genres and to compose," Heroneme said.
She was not surprised by his success.
"I know Cornell, and I knew he would make it big," she said. "There is just something about him -- genuine charm, and something about his music -- enchantment," she said. "Both move the soul."

Sarah Palin-Glen Rice Love Tryst Alleged in New Book A new tell-all book about former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin claims she had a one-night stand with former NBA star Glen Rice way back in 1987. Is that true? Does it matter? The answer to both is highly debatable. Is this the greatest rumor of all time? To that, we might have to answer yes. At the time, she was single and working at a TV station as a sports reporter; Rice was a college basketball star visiting Alaska for a tournament. Glen Rice scored 18,336 career points and won a title with the ''00 Lakers. If he scored with Sarah Palin, he wins the title of Most Randomly Hysterical One-Night Stand. Factual or not, Palin''s alleged romantic encounter with Rice - some three years younger and then a junior in college - is causing serious, hilarious buzz. Neither could not be reached for comment about the sexy fling, although Rice is said to have confirmed it to author Joe McGinniss. So ... yeah. The hookup is said to have occurred after the ''87 Great Alaska Shootout. Glen was playing for the University of Michigan then. Palin apparently covered the event, only to be covered by Rice''s naked body shortly thereafter. Mere months later, in 1988, Palin eloped with high school sweetheart Todd Palin. The two are still married and have five children with strange names. SIDE NOTE: Wonder how Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey feel about this. In addition to the Rice rumor, Joe McGinniss'' highly-anticipated book implies that Palin committed adultery with Brad Hanson, Todd''s business partner. It also says Sarah and Todd both snorted cocaine off an overturned 55-gallon oil drum during a snowmobile trip before she was governor. Awesome. Related Male Celebrities:
