Young At Art Children's MuseumRead MoreIn 1989, Young At Art began as a small, 3,200-square-foot children's museum dedicated to shaping young minds and enriching the community through the transformative power of art. Since then, the tiny workshop has grown into a 55,000-square-foot collection of activities celebrating the diverse influences of art on our lives and imaginations, garnering a rare accreditation by the American Association of Museums for its efforts. At ArtScapes—one of the four main exhibits—kids and their parents travel through The Cave, a frantic slideshow of images conveying 5,000 years of human history, step into a replica of a New York City subway car, and view examples of graffiti as a means of creative expression against the oppressive forces of aluminum spray cans. Elsewhere, WonderScapes transports children up to 4 years old to a world inspired by the illustrations of DeLoss McGraw, whose version of Alice in Wonderland won the Society of Illustrators Book of the Year award in 2002, and GreenScapes demonstrates the immutable intersection of art and the environment as visitors build sculptures from natural materials. Never ones to ignore their creativity, teenagers can find refuge in the Teen Center, where a graphic design lab with Mac computers and a recording studio let them convert their pre-calc homework into digital form before it's too late.11584 Route 84Fort Lauderdale, FL US
Kabooms Amusement & Party CenterRead MoreThirty-five thousand square feet is a lot of ground to cover. That's why families could spend an entire day at Kabooms' newly remodeled facility without blinking an eye. They can glide around a rink on rented roller skates, leap inside an inflatable bounce house, or test their skills in the Old West style shooting range. Meanwhile, winning redemption games in the arcade gives players a chance to choose from a wall of prizes, which features sports jerseys, stuffed toys, and even electronics. The center is also a fun place to celebrate birthdays, or parties for any occasion.9130 W State Road 84Davie, FL US
Smile America PortraitsRead MoreIn the last 40 years, Smile America Portraits' photographers have helped to memorialize special moments in the lives of thousands of children, teens, and adults across the country. By constantly working with families, they have mastered the art of calming toddlers and keeping parents still enough to say or even pasteurize cheese. Outdoor shoots make use of natural tones, such as those of crystal-blue lake waters and green, leafy trees. In the spring months, photos brim with the pastel buds of tulips and the shine of bluebirds applying makeup for the first time all year.3900 SW 100th Ave.Davie, FL US
M&M StablesRead MoreAs a child, M&M Stables' head trainer, instructor, and guide, Melissa loved strolling down woodland trails on the back of a horse. A rider and competitor since the age of six, Melissa's passion for horses now fuels her career at M&M Stables. Today, she can be found in the saddle training others how to care for and ride horses for fun or during competitions. She also leads trail rides throughout the surrounding equestrian park, giving clients a way to explore neighborhoods atop something other than a bike or a pilfered riding mower.5400 SW 76th Ave.Davie, FL US

The city has a draft concept plan to transform the Byward Market, but it will cost several million dollars and it will likely be up to the next council to make it a priority (or not).
Here's what those numbers mean in the diagram:
1 Market Square – Flexible space with parking garage below.
2 Reconfigured parking, outdoor market on York St. The central aisle is wider and tree planting will create a sense of boulevard improving the view and access from Major's Hill Park.
3 Existing patios on the north side of York St. Create an anchor focal point at the intersection of William and York, maybe a kiosk or art display.
4 Outdoor market layout as existing. Open two crosswalks connecting the side market entrances to the west sidewalks.
5 William St. to be pedestrian and continue the pedestrian only corridor south past George and north of York.
6 George St. market entrance plaza: Reorganize the market tents and cafe seating to leave the market entrance visible from William and George.
7 William St. to be partially reopened to traffic for garage exit and service. Street to be shared with patios, trees and plantings.
8 Byward Market St. becomes two ways, like William St. on other side of a new market building.
9 Enhance pedestrian experience on Clarence St. when parking garage entrance is eliminated.
Yes, on No. 8 you'll see the city is contemplating a new market building where the current parking structure is on Clarence St. The underground parking would be the big cost ($38M-$48M, 300-400 spots). A new building is estimated at roughly $13M.
I explore this today since the subject of the Byward Market, once again, came up at City Hall this week, this time with a couple public delegates asking the finance and economic development committee to invest more money into the market during this term of council.
It got me thinking about what inexpensive improvements could be made in the market.
One of those delegates was Liz Bernstein, president of the Lowertown Community Association. I asked her what small improvements could be done to make the market better.
Here's what she wrote in an e-mail:
Yes, some things can be done easily and cheaply in terms of better streetscaping, more benches, chairs, umbrellas, trees, signage (through the courtyards etc., heritage signs), painting for pedestrian crossing or pedestrian only days with some paint or simple barricades, public toilets, more garbage cans and bicycle parking/stalls, and removing obstacles for pedestrians like oversize sandwich boards, and getting started on the market governance piece and building improvements.
While some of the plan is longer term, there is a lot that can be done with little to improve the ByWard Market — if it is really to be a major tourist hub, steps from Parliament Hill, when Canada celebrates its 150th birthday as the mayor and council envision, it requires ambition and it requires funding. The funding approved so far is a pittance and bolder funding commitments are needed, which is why we told FEDCO (finance and economic development committee) the city should commit $10 million, and we spend such amounts in a heartbeat on roads. We must truly invest as it's not just Lowertown's market, or Ottawa's market, but Canada's market.
Revitalizing one of Canada's oldest and continuously operated markets for Canada's 150th birthday makes sense. Lt-Col. John By, himself, designed the street plan for the ByWard Market 189 years ago, in 1826. Lt-Col. By planned for extra wide streets at George Street and York Street to accommodate public markets and gathering places. The ByWard Market was always envisioned as a gathering place for Canadians. What better gift to Canada on its 150th birthday can Ottawa make but revitalizing this treasure at the heart of our city?
It turns out the city has a rough plan detailing $70-million in potential improvements, including the new market building, improvements to the existing market building and better streetscapes. The bulk of that estimate is a new market building and underground parking.
The "pittance" to which Bernstein refers is the $500,000 the city wants to split between Byward and Parkdale markets and Sparks St. for governance improvements.
It doesn't look like big changes are coming to the market in time for 2017. But some of those small touches — more pedestrian-only streets, chairs, umbrellas — could be quick wins if the city can find the cash.
Then again, does anything in the market really need to change?

NEIGHBORHOOD REPORT: WASHINGTON HEIGHTS; 2 Elevators for 2 Riderships At Nearby Subway Stations
By SETH KUGEL
Published: January 7, 2001
It's bad enough waiting for a subway when you're late for work, but the mostly Dominican residents who take the train from 191st Street must wait in line for a dingy elevator before they even get to the platform. Depending on how many of the four elevators are running, the line can stretch out to the sidewalk on St. Nicholas Avenue.
During the evening rush, a similar scene takes place 17 stories underground. As crowded 1 and 9 trains arrive, a few sprightly riders jog up a flight of stairs and through the turnstiles to the front of the elevator line. Less energetic commuters file in behind them. The Transit Police have posted officers in the station to keep order, and some people say they stay at work late just to avoid the mess.
A few avenues over, in the mostly white neighborhood around Fort Washington Avenue, there are also elevators at the A train station at 190th Street. But lines are rare at this station, and the elevators are cheerily decorated with photographs and other items by ultrapolite operators who seem to have been tutored by Miss Manners.
Residents say they have complained about the 191st Street service for years, noting that often only one or two elevators are working during rush periods. One commuter, Benjamin Frias, will sometimes hop on a bus down to the 168th Street stop. ''It's impossible here,'' Mr. Frias said. ''There's no one fighting for us.''
But someone is fighting. Upper Manhattan Together, a nonprofit organization that unites neighborhood groups and trains their leaders, has made a priority of improving the 191st Street station. Organizers persuaded the city's Department of Transportation to paint and improve the lighting in the pedestrian tunnel that connects the station with Broadway last year, and are now focusing on the elevators.
Melissa Farley, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said three elevators are supposed to be running at busy periods at the 191st Street stop. Moreover, she said, a contractor is now renovating one elevator and will renovate a second later, while a complete station overhaul is scheduled for 2003.
Meanwhile, at a recent meeting sponsored by Upper Manhattan Together, Elvira de Nunez described to an audience of 400 the superior service at the A train station.
''There are no lines,'' she said, with mock incredulity. ''The elevators run on time. The conductors are pleasant and even play jazz music while we are riding with them.'' The crowd laughed knowingly. SETH KUGEL

San Miguel Especial
Favorite thing: San Miguel Especial and Mahou Beer are the top two Spanish Beer Brands in terms of Sales (they alternate) but both are sister beers in Spain, Produced by the Mahou-San Miguel Group. The San Miguel Especial is the Sister Beer of the San Miguel Pale Pilsen of the Philippines as the recipe started in 1890 in The Philippine Capital of Manila. In 1957 the San Miguel Corporation establish a Subsidiary in Spain Called San Miguel which was then sold and changed hands several times until in 2000, it was aqcuired by the Mahou Group.
The San Miguel Especial taste the same as the San Miguel Pale Pilsen but has a higher alchohol content (5.4% for the San Miguel Especial and 3.5% for the San Miguel Pale Pilsen) and is available everywhere in Spain at Bars, Supermarkets, Tapa Bars, Restaurants, convenience stores.
Price of A Small 500 bottle of San Miguel especial is 2.50 Euros and a 330 ml Aluminum Can at 2.40 Euros while it can go up to 5 to 7 Euros at the Bars and Restaurants.
Fondest memory: Like What I've Said, San Miguel Especial of Spain (brewed by the Mahou Group) is the Sister Beer of San Miguel Philippines although they are different companies whatsoever. Their original beers the Pale Pilsen of The Philippines and San Miguel Especial of Spain Taste The Same! (I tasted both)
They have a non compete clause in their contracts of which San Miguel Philippines distributes it's Beers in Asia, Americas and Australia and the Pacific while Mahou distributes San Miguel Beer around Europe, Africa, The Carribean and the Middle East.Related to:

Basilica de San Miguel
Favorite thing: Basilica de San Miguel was built in baroque style. This remarkable building is unusual in Spanish baroque architecture for its Italian influence and its convex facade. Officially known as the Basílica Pontificia de San Miguel, it was built between 1739 and 1745.

Favorite thing: It is considered that Romans arranged the first settlement on a place of present Madrid in the II-nd century before Christmas. They built a fortress on the left bank of Mansares.
In IX and X centuries emir Mohammed I constructed the fortress of Majerit near to the Roman strengthenings to control grounds over Toledo.
In 1080 Alfonso VI released Toledo and neighboring settlements including Madrid from moors. In XI - XIV Madrid represents a small Castilian city which has grown around of the Arabian fortress. The castle of Gabsburg was under construction in XV century on a place of the Arabian fortress. Kings sometimes stayed there in travel. The population of city does not exceeded 20 thousand person at this time.
In 1561 the king Phillip II carried the capital from Valladolid to Madrid. In the second half of XVI century during the board of Gabsburg dynasty appeared "the Austrian Madrid ". Royal palaces, monasteries and churches actively are under construction at this time. The city was surrounded with a wall.
New parkways were laid, the new royal palace was under construction in the XVIII century in reign of Carlos III.

Iglesia de San Nicolas de los Servitas
Favorite thing: Iglesia de San Nicolas de los Servitas was built in the XI sentury at a place where a Mosque stood earlier. A lot of details show arabian influence.
The Church of San Nicolás de los Servitas is also know as La Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari and is located at 1 Plaza San Nicolás in Madrid. The church is the oldest in the city, and was first mentioned in a publication in 1202.

Tiles are not just for the roof.
Favorite thing: I am not sure if this phenomenon is prevalent all over Spain or if it is specific to Madrid but as I was walking around, I noticed a large amount of decorated ceramic tiles. From advertising to decorative to street signs even, they seem to be everywhere and I have created this tip to give the traveller an idea of what to expect. It really pays to keep your eyes open and it is surprising how many fine examples of this craft you can see.Related to:

Finding accommodation
Favorite thing: I used the tourist info place at the airport - if you are flying in, they are as good as anywhere else and extremely efficient. They ask how much you want to spend etc etc tell you how to get there, speak English. Very good service. I've had dirt cheap but acceptable, and medium priced and equally acceptable from them.
There are also some at the railway stations too, providing the same service. That's how I have always found accommodation in Madrid. It's not a holiday in Spain so there should be no problems with finding somewhere.Related to:

General Information
Favorite thing: If you booked a hotel in the city center by Puerta del Sol, then you have access to the Metro, so you don't really need the taxi from the airport to your hotel unless you decided to do so for whatever reason. You may want to forgo those tourist cards that pad up the benefits for a much higher fee. Just do what you can each day and try not to rush too much in seeing all there is to see in Madrid because there truly are lots to see. For a one week stay, I think you may want to squeeze in Reina Sofia and Prado museums, and check out other historical sites of interest on your own. Also, check out the San Miguel market where food offerings are abundant, but less so compared to the La Boqueria in Barcelona. There are various food stalls at said market where you can have a taste of various croqetas, cheese, wine, tapas, desserts, etc. For your Metro ride, just get the combined metro zone fare card with airport supplement (this depends on how many metro journeys you plan on taking) and call it a day. BTW, I loved Segovia and Avila for day trips outside of Madrid. Have to go to Toledo and El Escorial next time I'm there.

Theater Attire
Favorite thing: Went to a Flamenco dance performance in November of 2010, and made sure to dress in appropriate evening attire. I do not think there is any dress code per se, but from my experience, most people who see these kind of performances consistently dress up in typical evening/night out type of ensemble. Nothing fancy or too formal, but a business/smart casual clothing would be appropriate. Personally, I wore a black dress with black tights and black leather boots, and called it a night.

Chocolate for Churro Dunking
Favorite thing: 4oz dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups milk
1 tbsp cornstarch (also known as cornflour and is the powder that causes the thickening)
4 tbsp sugar
Place the chocolate and half the milk in a pan and heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk and whisk into the chocolate with the sugar. Cook on low heat, whisking constantly, until the chocolate is thickened, about five minutes. Add extra cornstarch if it doesn't start to thicken after 5 minutes. Remove and whisk smooth. Pour and server in cups or bowls for dunking churros. Do not pour over churros, but use the mix for dunking churros after every bite. Served warm.
Feel free to share this recipe with your friends, as long as you include my name and web address, so others can contact me with comments.

I don't think any of the global tags work there, including OUTPUTNAME which would have done what you are looking for I think (rename the language displayed).
Hope that helps.
P.S. I might be wrong though (it happens often). You might want to test .MOD, .COPY=, .FORGET and OUTPUTNAME and prove me wrong.

Product description
An artist of death is stalking Victorian London, recreating earlier masterpieces of murder. Police suspicion falls on the notorious 'opium-eater' Thomas De Quincey, recently returned to the capital, who wrote in detail about the original crimes. Someone is using his essays as inspiration - and he must uncover the truth before the killer completes his work. In MURDER AS A FINE ART, London becomes a battleground between a literary star and a brilliant murderer - whose lives are linked by secrets long buried, but never forgotten.

Review quote
A gaslit gallop through Victorian London Financial Times A terrific read. As one would expect of Morrell, it is compulsive and thrilling, but its use of de Quincey also allows for discursions that are both funny and touching - de Quincey and his daughter are great additions to the detective stage, and I hope we will have a lot more of them to come. -- Judith Flanders, author of The Invention of Murder [An] exceptional historical mystery...page-flipping action, taut atmosphere, and multifaceted characters Booklist Shockingly real...Morrell's thorough and erudite research of the people and culture of the British Empire's heyday informs every page. A literary thriller that pushes the envelope of fear Associated Press Masterful...brilliantly plotted...evokes 1854 London with such finesse that you'll hear the hooves clattering on cobblestones Entertainment Weekly Brilliant. Everything works - the horrifying depiction of the murders, the asides explaining the impact of train travel on English society, nail-biting action sequences - making this book an epitome of the intelligent page-turner. Publishers Weekly David Morrell fans - and they are Legion - can look forward to celebrating Murder As a Fine Art as one of their favorite author's strongest and boldest books in years. -- Dan Simmons, author of Drood Praise for David Morrell . The finest thriller writer living today, bar none. Steve Berry A master of suspense...If you're reading Morrell, you're sitting on the edge of your seat. Michael Connelly An absolute master of the thriller Dean Koontz The father of the modern action novel Vince Flynn Nobody does this better than David Morrell Lee Child A titan among thriller writers. Joseph Finder Master storyteller David Morrell ... thrills us with heart-pounding suspense while tugging at our emotions. Tess Gerritsen

About Yau-Sun Tong Top of the World Expedition
Kung Fu & Tai Chi Master Yau -Sun Tong and I were able to talk and I learned through his spiritual words about his extensive travel throughout the world with his camera in tow. The remote area of Southwest and Northwest China have a special spiritual appeal for him. I'm sure you will agree that his artistry reflects a depth of rapport with his subjects that produces an intriguing cross-section of Tibetan culture and religious life. Yau believes the spirit is in the place is foremost; taking the photograph is secondary. So take a moment for you, and listen to this great interview on the perspectives from Yau-Sun Tong.
