]]>An internationally renowned festival city to begin with, Montreal is essentially built for the festive season. With a lengthy Christmas list of options for family fun, eating entertainment, gift grabbing and night-time excitement, ours is – naughty or nice – the city to get your jolly on. To wit…
Get started by treating the family to spirit-inspiring seasonal sounds at the annual Christmas Benefit Concert presented at the historic St. James United Church located in the heart of downtown Montreal on Dec. 5. And music will also figure prominently in Les Grands Ballets' spectacular annual presentation of The Nutcracker, from Dec. 11-30, at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, Place des Arts, in the Quartier des Spectacles. And throughout December, treat the kids (or the kid in you) to an alluring array of seasonally themed events and attractions at Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum, in Saint-Constant on Montreal's South Shore.
Apart from family, food is the only other "f" word permitted this time of year, and Montreal steps up its already considerable food game for the holiday season. For example, the Société des arts technologiques (SAT), a cutting-edge multidisciplinary space in the Quartier des Spectacles, will offer a five-course Christmas menu as part of its popular Foodlab's Nordic Terrasse, Dec. 2-17. Or step around the corner to Le Café du Nouveau Monde, which will be presenting special holiday menus of artfully reimagined gastronomic classics. And if it's a seasonal sweet tooth that's calling the shots, gird yourself for a dizzying selection of mouth-watering treat boutiques – from desert emporium Juliette & Chocolat to cupcake craziness at Les Glaceurs to palate-popping yule logs at Le Glacier Bilboquet – that'll get the sugar plums dancing in your head.
As holiday traditions go in Montreal, there are few that are as much anticipated as the unveiling of Montreal retail institution Ogilvy's Ste-Catherine Street Christmas window display, an animated marvel that crosses generations and lends a sense of wonderment to the season. It's feel-good shopping that's only accentuated by Ogilvy collections by the likes of in-house specialty boutique Harricana par Mariouche, which recycles old furs into ecologically sustainable high-fashion apparel. For the year-round Christmas enthusiast (and we are legion), look no further than Noël Éternel, which offers a vast selection of Christmas collectibles no matter the weather. For those looking for unique gift ideas, there's no shortage of tasteful, thoughtful "marchés," or markets. But don't let the term fool you: these gatherings of artisans – at places such as Espace pour la vie's eco-friendly Christmas fair (jewellery, wooden toys, essential oils, soap and gourmet food) on December 5- 7 and 12- 14, and L'Empreinte Cooperative's 40-year anniversary of high-quality Quebec arts and crafts at the always-impressive Salon des métiers, which features more than 400 prominent regional artisans from Dec. 5-21 – are the remedy for any Christmas stocking emptiness you may be feeling.
Evening is the time for you and yours to take your minds off of holiday shopping, and Montreal nights are positively on fire with family friendly happenings. The yearly Torch-lit Christmas March, which typically attracts upwards of 10,000 people carrying candles, will start off on Mont-Royal Avenue early in the evening on Dec. 6 and make its way to Park Lafontaine – amidst live music and dressed-up characters – where fireworks and other festivities will spark the holiday spirit. Montreal's vibrant Old Port also gets in on the loudly colourful action with Telus Fire on Ice, four sparkling nights of aerial pyrotechnics (on Saturdays from Dec. 13 until Jan. 3) complete with a seasonal soundtrack. Lights of a different type will dazzle imaginations in the downtown Quartier des Spectacles with Luminotherapy, an immersive, interactive installation comprised of 50 colourful, kaleidoscopic prisms set to an ambient music soundtrack projecting glimmering images onto the facades of eight prominent buildings. The result? Multimedia magic in your hands. From Dec. 10 until Feb. 2.
And, with Santa as our witness, this is only the tip of the Montreal holiday Christmas tree! Stay tuned…

]]>The Labour Day long weekend may mark the end of summer, but Montreal's enthusiasm for open-air entertainment keeps going strong: eat, drink, shop, see films and hear live music outdoors and in this week and throughout the month…
(outdoor living) Explore Mont Royal Avenue during Nuit Blanche sur la Tableau Noir, a street fair and festival of art and music held August 28-31: the 19th edition features a parade and outdoor film screenings on August 29 and concerts by Arthur H, Random Recipe and more local bands throughout the weekend. The Botanical Garden wraps up its summer of outdoor concerts among the garden's abundant plantlife: on August 30, hear Éveline Grégoire-Rousseau, Nathalie Cora and Pierre-Yves Martel, while Sunday brings Pierre Lapointe to the Arboretum, along with jazz by the Kite Trio, and dance by Lucie Grégoire. Sway to the classical music of orchestra Harmonie les Vents du Sud, in a free outdoor concert on August 31 at the Olympic Park Esplanade, or rock the all-ages ropes courses of the Esplanade's Parc Exalto.

Soak up the sun at the Old Port's Clock Tower Beach, closing September 1, and for even more beach action, head to the Beach Party at Parc Jean-Drapeau on August 29, where music, volleyball, wakeboarding, boat rentals and more turn a day at the beach into an extreme activity.
(good grub) Sink your chops into a speciality burger made just for Montreal's Burger Week, September 1-7, featuring 30 restaurants in competition to make the best burger in the city – last year's Burger Week produced some extremely mouthwatering results, from home-cooked classics to gourmet creations. If you're craving seafood instead, several of Montreal's best restaurants serve up fresh oysters that bring the ocean to the city. Drink it all down with a relaxing beverage – find the best in our Guide to Wine, Beer and Booze in Montreal, or opt for trendy bubble tea.

Immersive in a different way is ObE, a 360-degree, surround-sound multimedia project French artists Maotik and Fraction, at the SAT's Satosphere dome. Montreal's Chinatown lights up for Chinese New Year on January 31, while contemporary Chinese art can be seen at Place des Arts.

Zion at the Rialto, or listen to the electronic creations of Boundary (Montreal producer Ghislain Poirier) and Montag at the Phi Centre, while Spanish electronic musician and producer John Talabot (a hit at last year's Mutek festival) fills the dance floor at the SAT.

]]>The post Live for Love on Valentine's Day in romantic Montreal appeared first on Tourisme Montréal Blog.
]]>Montreal's many restaurants tend to pull out all the stops for Valentine's Day, no matter what your craving or budget. Return to a favourite French restaurant, a nostalgic hole-in-the-wall, or choose a new locale: Osco! in Old Montreal, Le Balcon restaurant and cabaret, opulently decorated Les Filles du Roy, XO at Hotel Le St-James, La Fonderie fondue restaurant, Accords natural wine bar, and rustic-meets-modern Racines, all of which are featuring special menus made for love, or perhaps choose from among our picks from Montreal restaurant week, TASTE MTL.
Lovers and lovers of chocolate walk arm-in-arm over to free event Je t'aime en chocolat!, setting the Valentine's mood February 7-9 at Marché Bonsecours in Old Montreal. Sample some of the best handcrafted chocolate in Quebec at the Je t'aime en chocolat! marketplace, learn more about the sweet stuff in culinary classes, and even see a chocolate-themed fashion show. Find more delectable desserts at Suite 88 chocolate lounge and cafe, indulge at one of five Juliette et Chocolate locations in the city, find Chocolats Genevieve Grandbois next door to bagels in the Mile End neighbourhood, and Les Chocolates de Chloé near Parc Lafontaine in the Plateau.
Speaking of Montreal's parks, even when covered in snow, their natural beauty is perfect for a romantic afternoon or evening adventure. Bundle up and explore Mont Royal, either just the two of you or join a Valentine's snowshoeing tour, complete with mulled wine and chocolate truffles. Or stroll hand-in-hand through the city's antique shops, on the lookout for unique collectibles, 18th- and 19th-century furniture, rare glass and porcelain, jewellery and more: find it at Milord Antiquity, Grand Central Inc., Petit Musée, Rowntree Antiques and beyond. Step activity up with ice skating at Beaver Lake at the top of Mont Royal, at the moat-like rink at Parc Lafontaine, down in the Old Port, accompanied by music and the glittering lights of the city, or even indoors at Atrium Le 1000. Romantic adventurers head to Parc Jean-Drapeau for a dogsled ride for two, cross-country skiing, snowshoe tours and even snowboarding. If you decide to extend your stay until February 20, don't miss winter festival Montréal en Lumière's days and nights of art, culture and gourmet cuisine.
When evening falls, Montreal entertains in the name of love. The Montreal Museum of Fine Art, currently hosting a gorgeous exhibition by acclaimed international painter Peter Doig, presents the Arion Baroque Orchestra on February 14 as part of the Bourgie Hall music program, while on February 15, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kent Nagano, takes Mahler to new heights. If theatre sends happy shivers down your spine, see Chekov's masterpiece The Seagull transform winter into passionate summer at the Segal Centre. Absorb yourselves in the African dance of Zab Maboungou and Compagnie Danse Nyata Nyata at the SAT February 13-14, or go dancing yourself, from dance lesson to a hot dance floor, at one of Montreal's many tango and salsa clubs. And even watch the universe unfold and the stars align at the Montreal Planetarium.
Relax side-by-side in the warmth of a Montreal spa, from Bota Bota, a multi-storey spa located on a boat in the Old Port, to the tranquil Scandinave Spa Vieux-Montréal, Spa Eastman Montréal and Rainspa, all with water circuit, massage and beauty packages for two. And end the day at one of Montreal's hotels, offering special Valentine's packages featuring rose petals and wine, chocolate and champagne. Among the many, Hotel St Paul, Auberge Le Pomerol, Auberge Le Jardin d'Antoine, Fairmont Queen Elizabeth and Hotel Le St-James come highly recommended for romance.
Take advantage of your stay in Montreal with this Sweet Deal package!

I tried them today - GROSS! they are gummy, taste like chemicals, and not filling. I'll stick with my normal oatmeal. what a waste of calories!

Pretty sure these can't be compared to donuts. For one, they aren't fried... like most donuts are. And, from what I've seen, bagels don't have as much sugar and fat. It's... bread.
I think these would be a great treat from time to time to get away from your more "strict" breakfast options.

you cant beat a NY bagel with cream cheese orrrr butter- i love them scooped and toasted too!

Must admit I actually love hot oatmeal, steel cut is the best, especially on a cold morning. But I even make it in the summer. Yum!

How to Talk So Kills Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish (originally published in 1980) is a classic parenting book for resolving conflicts between parents and children. The authors encourage parents to give children a scaffold with which to approach the world about them. Although it is a dated book, I still found many of the suggested conversation techniques and parenting reminders to be perfectly relevant to my day.Continue Reading
Recipes for Play by Rachel Sumner and Ruth Mitchener
I am a mother that is not comfortable with mess. I don't like noise or chaos either. And yet, I'm learning to adapt.
In fact, when I read Recipes for Play by Rachel Sumner and Ruth Mitchener (The Experiment, September 2014), I started actually getting excited about trying out some of the activities and crafts mentioned.
I'm a homeschooling mom. Another thing I never intended to do, and yet here I am. Homeschooling gets me out of my comfort-zone many times a day.
As I read Recipes for Play, which is full of play-crafts for young kids and mothers to easily recreate in their homes, I started to think of the many ways I could tie the suggested crafts in to our daily routine: some of them could be adapted for a homeschool lesson. Another one could keep my littlest one busy while I get a chance to over the math assignment with my son. The possibilities got me excited.Continue Reading
Education: A Very Short Introduction by Gary Thomas
I feel like I should title this post "Yes, I actually read an adult nonfiction book once again," since I've been neglecting not only my personal reading but also my nonfiction. Lately, I've been reading picture books, biographies of American historical figures geared toward youth, and other such interesting, but not mind-boggling reading.
Education by Gary Thomas (Oxford University Press, 2013) is one of the newest additions to the Very Short Introduction series, a series I've spoken highly of in the past simply because each book does such a wonderful job of introducing a topic, the issues surrounding the topic, and the people involved without overburdening the reader. Education is no exception. In 120 slim pages, Thomas introduced me to a general history of the processes of education, the people involved in various philosophies, the different schools of thought in education, and the contemporary issues that surround the complex topic.Continue Reading
Reading Magic by Mem Fox
Mem Fox is a successful children's book author and literacy expert. But her expertise in Reading Magic (Harcourt 2001) comes across as personal and passionate, mostly because she writes foremost from her position as a mother. Her main point in writing this book is to read aloud to our children, making it a fun time and a game, as parents let their children learn from the words that surround them in their daily lives.
I loved reading this book. Nothing Ms Fox said was surprising or new to me. Back in 2009, I started a project to read my then 26-month-old son 1000 books before he started kindergarten. Just over 18 months later, we'd read 1000 different books together (that I'd recorded, at least) and he was reading on his own. Everything Ms Fox suggests is thus backed up by our application of it! It was not a struggle. It was fun. Continue Reading

On Friday, Rush Limbaugh opened his radio show by diving into recent comments Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban made about how own struggles with "bigotry" and "prejudice." Limbaugh did not seem to have any particular problems with what Cuban said, but was rather offended by his subsequent apology to Trayvon Martin's family for using a "black kid in a hoodie" as one example of who he would avoid on a dark street.

On the day she dropped her latest EP Sail Out, Jhené Aiko opens up in an exclusive interview with Pepsi.com. Aiko's been busy. Between releasing her EP, dropping a new song with Kendrick Lamar and sharing a brand new music video for "The Worst," the 25-year-old singer knows how to make things happen. She was the first artist to be signed to the No I.D.-run Def Jam imprint Atrium Records. She preaches the benefit of being signed with someone like him, because, "He truly understands what it is to be an artist, because he's an artist also, he's a producer... He's always like, 'Don't rush anything, just take your time. The music is going to be great regardless of what's happening.'" After pushing back the release date for her Sail Out EP from October 29th to today, it's clear patience is a part of the game for Aiko. [Hear & Read More]
Stepping into Fall/Winter 2013, San Francisco-based imprint Can And Abel Habiliments proudly presents their inaugural apparel collection. Inspired by brothers Ralph and Hayden Keeley – the collection contains a full range of vibrant color sweatshirts, crewnecks, tees and tanks. Noteworthy items include the classic "Candy Logo" crewneck and the "Peace Be With You" t-shirt. The entire Can And Abel 2013 Collection is now available exclusively at select retailers and through their online store.
In continued celebration of its Paris Meets Los Angeles collection, Garrett Leight has teamed up with Thierry Lasry on this second limited edition collaborative release for 2013 fall/winter. Amalgamating both imprints' unique qualities, the line draws inspiration from each designer's home city, reinterpreting vintage silhouettes with modern flair. The glasses, simply dubbed as "Number 2″ takes a classic profile and imparts a modish twist. Available in four colorways, each pair features blue acetate at the bridge and temples and hand-drilled rivets and screws. Finished with a specially designed box by LA-based artist Ashkahn, the collaboration is another special venture from the two longtime eyewear staples. Head over to Eyegoodies for the full collection.
Drake may hail from Toronto, but he's fully repping Memphis, Tennessee in the video for the Nothing Was The Same single "Worst Behavior". Helmed by Director X, the 10-minute video features appearances from the Hot Boys' Turk, Project Pat, Juicy J, and Papa Drake himself, Dennis Graham, who looks like a hybrid between a pimp and a used car salesman. (Mr. Graham hails from Memphis, which explains the choice of locale). Continuing to prove his masculine qualities, Drizzy also fills the video with loads of rap cliches, including rapping in front of muscle cars and brooding on street corners, plus there's funny scene involving the OVO owl. Enjoy.
Cali natives Fergie and YG take their huge party bus through the streets of LA in this visual treatment of Ferg's comeback record, produced by DJ Mustard.

Tsai Design Studio's shipping container classroom
March 16, 2012
Let's be clear. The idea of recycling shipping containers as bespoke pieces of micro-architecture is by no means unique to Tsai Design Studio, but its Safmarine Container Project - real, built, and in use - is no less admirable as a result. The 39-foot (12-meter) long, 538-sq foot (50-sq m) container is living a second life as a classroom for 5-6-year old pupils at the Vissershok School, Cape Town, South Africa.
The most radical addition to the container is a horizontal solar shade - an expansive second roof above the container preventing solar radiation directly arriving at the classroom's outer surfaces thanks to the buffer of air between. This is an essential measure in warmer climbs as steel is an efficient conductor of heat. Were the building to be used at night it would probably have required extensive insulation too.
Windows and doors are obviously a requirement, but windows have been added to both sides to allow the through-ventilation of the space.
Attention has been paid to the surrounding site. A sloping embankment afforded the opportunity for the creation of an outdoor mini amphitheater, and an outdoor play area has been included, inspired by student Marshaan Brink's design, an entry in a competition held by Woolworths, who along with AfriSam and shipping company Safmarine, co-sponsored the project. A vegetable garden has also been planted.
Of course, any opportunity to reuse containers in the developing world (or, technically in South Africa's case, a newly industrialized world as of last year) should be seized where budgets are tight. But that's just as true for the so-called developed world, too.

A classroom is nothing more than a log with a teacher sitting on one end and students sitting on the other.

Oh, so you've experienced Victoria, Australia, state ed science labs, then?

How do they get the containners to remote areas where the schools are needed?
Have read about containners being made into Internet hubs using Satelite and Wifi.
They can be locked and made secure easily. Perfect for solar power.
This sort of thing needs powerful helicopters or helium lifting balloons to transport it to where its needed.

Rachel Zoe Walks With Skyler and Rodger Berman in NYC Pictures
Rachel, Rodger, and Skyler Perfect Their Street Style in NYC
Skyler was on the go yesterday with Rachel Zoe and her husband, Rodger Berman, holding their hands during a stroll through NYC. The trio was hanging out on the East Coast prior to Rachel's latest appearance on QVC. She visited the shopping network last night and unveiled the latest wares from her Luxe Rachel Zoe collection.
Rachel's balancing her duties as a designer and mom, but she hasn't ditched her styling business. Erin Wasson enlisted Zoe's help before heading to Cannes. According to Erin, "After all of these years of not working with a stylist, Cannes seemed like the right time to up the ante." Rachel and her styling team could be on the hunt for additional looks for Erin, who is one of the stars gracing the big screen in the June 22 release Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

My colleague Kathy Kiely reports that Mitt Romney hit the wealthy Northern Virginia suburbs last night, starting his evening at a roundtable with supporters in the tony suburb of McLean before heading to the home of tech executive Bobbie Kilberg for a fundraiser that brought out Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and well-heeled executives, raising $325,000 for Romney's campaign coffers, according to Romney supporters.
A study in contrasts, Jon Huntsman was also in town last night, but instead of schmoozing donors, he was talking to George Washington University students.

Great crops
By DIANNA
from BC
Really liked these crops, but I too found them to be too slim fitting in the thigh. I would not agree with the product description, that these are a relaxed fit. Really nice though. I will have to order up a size....or maybe two!!!

not a fit for me
By mocha
from Vancouver
I bought these crop pants in black in size 16. The printed pattern is lovely. I usually wear a 14P, but the size chart indicated that I should order a 16. Unfortunately, they are not a fit for me. WAY TOO HIGH in the rise, and too tight in the thigh. If you can get a good fit, they look like nice crops.

My New Favourite Summer Crop!
By Kanjagirl
from Calgary
Fits true to size. I ordered the "red" print pant. It's wonderful, because the subtle red print is in between a peach and a coral, so can go either way. The fit is high waisted and very comfortable. I wear it with a cream flowy blouse and a coral cotton jacket. BEAUTIFUL. I will overwear this pant this summer!

great summer pants
By Jean
from Ottawa, Ontario
Just tried these on and they are perfect! The blue and white pattern is crisp unlike a pair I ordered from another TSC line. The fit is great and I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can wear them!
