You know him as Ralphie, the bespectacled fourth-grader with the December-long quest with getting an Official Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle in 1983's "A Christmas Story," the film that grew from under-the-radar movie, to cult favorite to beloved holiday classic.
Peter Billingsley, now 42, is a producer and director (the films "Iron Man," "The Break-Up," "Couples Retreat," and the TV series "Sullivan & Son") and occasional actor. He also is a producer of "A Christmas Story: The Musical," which opened for a limited run on Broadway last year and received a Tony Award nomination for outstanding new musical.
The show is being remounted in Hartford and opens Tuesday, Nov. 12 for a week's run at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, before moving on to Boston and then for a return visit to New York.
"I've been approached over the years to be involved with variations of the 'Christmas Story' brand," says Billingsley in a phone interview from Los Angeles. "But nothing made sense to me until the creative team of this production. It had just the right fit."
But what makes "A Christmas Story" sing? (The show has music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul of Westport, who also created the score of "James and the Giant Peach" at Goodspeed Musical's Norma Terris Theatre in Chester in 2010.)
"So much of the style of the movie is Ralphie being such a dreamer and that lends itself for song and dance," says Billingsley, who was 11 years old when he made the movie.
Indeed there's a fantasy song inspired by one of the movie's iconic lines: "You'll shoot your eye out."
And, of course, says Billingsley, there's a big chorus kick-line number centering off the fishnet stockinged high-heeled "leg lamp" that Ralphie's father — who is only referred to as 'The Old Man" — covets.
Billingsley also says the musical allows for more insight into the relationship of the characters of the mother and father, played in the movie by Melinda Dillon and Darren McGavin and played in the musical by John Bolton and Erin Dilly. Jake Lucas plays Ralphie.
"It's a great way to take the brand and hit a whole new generation," says Billingsley.
Making the Film
But the movie almost didn't get made at all.
Director Bob Clark and writer and radio humorist Jean Shepherd spent a dozen years trying to get the film produced. But it wasn't until Clark had a series of box office smashes with the "Porky's" series of raunchy teen comedies in the early '80s that he had the clout to get the green light from the studio for his personal little project, "A Christmas Story."
Based in part on the stories in Shepherd's "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash," the film, with a script by Shepherd, Clark and Leigh Brown, was a compilation of anecdotal remembrance of the author growing up with his off-beat family in Indiana in the '40s. (Shepherd, who died in 1999, did the narration for the film. In the musical it's done by Dan Lauria who played the father in the TV series "The Wonder Years," which also was a nostalgic family show.)
The film was shot over two months in Cleveland, which kept up its Christmas lights through January for the filming. The city was a stand-in for the fictional town of Hohman, Ind., based on Shepherd's hometown of Hammond.
Billingsley said Shepherd was on the set a lot and not just for his cameo role — he played the man in Higbee's Department Store who tells Ralphie to get to the end of the line. "He was on the set a lot. Both Bob and Jean has a lot of passion for the project," says Billingsley, who began his career as a 2-year-old for a Geritol commercial with Betty Buckley. (His most famous commercial was for Hershey's chocolate syrup in which he portrayed "Messy Marvin.")
The actor says he has fond memories of playing on "the Santa Slide" between takes.
When the film came out, the reviews were mixed, and the box office was modest at best.
New York times film critic Vincent Canby wrote there were "a number of small, unexpectedly funny moments…but you have to possess the stamina of a pearl diver to find them."
But audiences found them

Cap d'Antibes Villa
This summer, I finally read Tender Is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald's tale of the glamorous, sun-soaked escapades of wealthy Americans in the French Riviera. It's not lighthearted, but I've been fantasizing about a Mediterranean escape ever since, especially when I saw that this 8,600-square-foot villa in Cap d'Antibes — where the author himself once supposedly stayed — is now for sale. Join me as I imagine a summer of sunshine, salade niçoise every day and ocean-view cocktails every night.
The warm stucco walls and shutters of the 19th century villa reflect the sun-and-sea hues of the Côte d'Azur. Lush gardens continue on the rooftop terraces, and there's even an outdoor pool.
Pillow-lined sofas on the terrace are the perfect perch to watch the sun set over the bay. The only thing missing is a glass of wine!
When you need some shade, brush up on your French in the opulent, high-ceilinged study. I love the unexpected tufted white armchair in the otherwise traditional room.
Though the villa is historic, a recent renovation updated the seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom property with a modern wine cellar, sauna, projection facilities and on-trend decor like this turquoise paint.
For more information on the house, contact Sotheby's International Realty. Price is available upon request.

It can happen that you need to downgrade the AOS kernel in a system. Depending on the build you are going back to, you might get an error message.
Error message:
Object Server 01: Fatal SQL condition duringlogin. Error message: "The internal time zone version number stored in thedatabase is higher than the version supported by the kernel (4/1). Use a newerMicrosoft Dynamics AX kernel."
You need to change the value for the column value SYSTIMEZONESVERSION in the table SQLSystemVariables. If you look inthe event viewer you can see that it finds the value 4, but expected 1 (4/1).So the solution is to change the value to 1.

CU1 for OpsMgr has been released for some time now, this post will be a simple walk-through of applying it. This hotfix is included on my Hotfix page for SCOM: http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2009/01/27/which-hotfixes-should-i-apply.aspx
Marnix did a great posting on this topic as well, available here: http://thoughtsonopsmgr.blogspot.nl/2013/03/om12-sp1-update-rollup-1-manual.html
Description and download location:
To download all of the updates, you will need to click the link in the KB above, which will launch the catalog for the individual downloads:
Following the KB – the installation plan looks something like this:
***Note: One of the things you will notice – is that there is no update available for consoles, or for reporting servers. So we will skip those roles as they are not applicable. My new list looks like:
Since I am monitoring Linux systems, I'll need to add steps for that from the KB:
System Center Monitoring Pack for UNIX and Linux Operating Systems
Seems simple enough, lets get started.
Install the update rollup package
On the catalog site, I add all the updates to my basket, and click View Basket, and Download.
Next I copy these files to a share that all my SCOM servers have access too. These are actually .CAB files, so I will need to extract the MSP's from these CAB files.
Once I have the MSP files, I am ready to start applying the update to each server by role.
My first server is a management server, and the web console, so I copy those two update files locally, and execute them per the KB, from an elevated command prompt:
This launches a quick UI which applies the update. It will bounce the SCOM services as well. The update does not provide any feedback that it had success or failure. You can check the application log for the MsiInstaller events for that.
You can also spot check a couple DLL files for the file version attribute.
Next up – run the Web Console update:
This runs much faster.
I move on to my additional management servers and gateways, and apply the MSP file from the elevated command prompt. No issues.
Manually import the management packs
The only MP to be updated with this CU1 for SP1 is located on your management servers, at
Only the AlertAttachment MPB should be updated. The KB article known issues states the other MP should not be imported. If you don't use this MP already (Such as for Global Service Monitoring) then there is no need to install this update. If you ever do go back and enable/install Global Service Monitoring or any MP that requires this Alert Attachment MP – don't forget to install this updated version! If not you will see issues with alert views in Dashboards, like console crashes or blank screens.
Apply the agent update
Approve the pending updates in the Administration console for pushed agents. Manually apply the update for manually installed agents.
100% success rate.
Be sure to check the "Agents By Version" view to find any agents that did not get patched:
Update Linux MPs
Next up – I download and extract the updated Linux MP's for SCOM 2012 SP1 CU1. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29696
I open the console – and update these MP's from disk
7.4.3507 is SCOM 2012 SP1. 7.4.4112.0 is SCOM 2012 SP1 with CU1.
Next up – you would upgrade your agents on the Linux monitored agents. You can now do this straight from the console:
In this case – there is no need, as the previous version of my agents were already updated.
Lastly – refer to the KB article for this update, as if you are a heavy user of Linux process monitoring using our template – additional steps are required to address the fixes.
All done!
Now at this point, we would check the OpsMgr event logs on our management servers, check for any new or strange alerts coming in, and ensure that there are no issues after the update.
I applied CU1 to my SCOM 2012 SP1 test server and it went pretty well except that my agents never appeared in the Pending Management view, even though they were originally push-installed. Is there something that needs to be done to trigger this? I tried restarting the MS health service and even rebooting the MS, but neither worked. I eventually had to just manually update the agents.
The agents are placed into pending by the server update - we will place agents in pending for a management server, when the server update is applied, and ONLY at that time. The act of placing agents into pending is something that happens during the application of the MSP update.
If they did not go into pending, then something broke during your installation. I'd probably consider re-applying it, and logging verbose to a file.
Do the CU1 patches for the agents appear as a distributable patch in WSUS? If so, then you could simply apply the patches via WSUS instead of pushing them out from the SCOM console.....
@Wilson -
Absolutely. They are available through WSUS directly, or SCCM through WSUS, or SCCM through a software package.
I found what my problem was. The first time I ran the update, I ran as an account that was SCOM admin but did not have SA on the database. I re-ran the update as an account with both SCOM admin and SA to the database, and it went as expected. Sheesh!
Hi Kevin, I need to update an environment with Retail version Scom 2012; reinstall an environment in parallel with Scom 2012 R2 or conversely I updating the platform.
@SpanishScomGuy -
I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.
Sorry Kevin, the environment have an SCOM versión Retail, agent versión 7.0.856.0; the question I was asking you is if I need reinstall all, or on the other side I can update this versión the SCOM 2012.
Thanks in advance

A National Dental Inspection Programme report has revealed that Scottish children have the best dental record. The dentists say that it is all due to the investment they have made in children dentistry and now they are reaping benefits of it.
About 70% of the children have no signs of tooth decay, which is 10% more than the target being given by ministers. It is good news, but it should also be kept in mind that the festive season is round the corner, so dental hygiene becomes all the more important.
Scotland's Chief Dentist Margie Taylor said since March 2007 to till now they have successfully registered additional four million children in their dental hygiene programme. They hope number keeps on adding with such swift only.
It's Merry making time so they cannot ask children to not to eat or avoid sugary delights, but it has to be make sure that they follow brush tooth regime daily. It is also advised that children should avoid binging on chocolates and other sugary things in between meal time.
The Public Health Minister, Michael Matheson, said, "This is tremendous progress and is a sign that we are reaping the reward of our significant investment in children's dentistry. However, it is important to make sure that we maintain this good oral health record over Christmas and New Year".
Now, it has all the more important that they should maintain this kind of record. They have been repeatedly asking children to brush their teeth twice, morning and evening. This would greatly help them to prevent teeth damage.
The Scottish Government said they are extremely happy to see such success. Dental health records have never been such good. Now it is up to parents that they make sure that children stick to teeth-brushing routine and continue to raise the bar with every posing year.

I'm not sure if that has something to do with it or not, but when spark plugs keep backing out- the problem is that the threads are too loose, or you're not tightening the plugs down enough. I'm assuming it's not the second one since you probably increased torque since the plugs loosened.
Get you some nickel anti-seize, the last time I looked here it was $7 for a big grey container of it that you'll get years of use out of. It also comes in little one time use packets for $1, but I see those as a waste. It's much better to have anti-seize laying around- it's very handy. I put some on where my axles fit into the hub so those won't seize up like the factory parts did. There are some places where using it might not be the wisest thing- like pinch bolts. But spark plugs in aluminum heads is a definite must-have.
It's messy. Just use a little on the top threads, and tighten down to 20-25 ft-lbs carefully. If you have been tightening to 20, and that wasn't working, you shouldn't cause any damage by going up to 25- now 45 might be a big deal, so don't go too far on your own.
Be eclectic.

Scavenger Hunt Ideas Video Scavenger Hunt: This is one of the most popular party games and one of my personal favorites. The reason I love Video Scavenger Hunt is that, no matter how many times you host/attend a party where this is played, the game is always different. Divide the guests into teams. Each team must have a video camera and a tape (in your invitations, you can ask guests to bring these supplies). The teams compete to be the first to return to the spot of origin with a videotape that shows them completing every task from a list provided in advance. You may also include this list in your invitation. (You may want to set up folding chairs, theater style, in front of your TV. Tie a couple of balloon bouquets to the chairs.) Your list of required stunts and activities to be videotaped by the teams can be as creative as you want. The list should contain no more than 15 or 20 stunts because each group/team will have only an hour and half to videotape as many as they can. Here are some ideas: One of the members of the team standing in front of (or sitting on) a statue. Several members of the team joining a street entertainer in his/her act. A stranger singing the national anthem. One or more members of a team standing under a public clock at an exact time (such as 8:23 p.m.) A member of the team singing a 70s song on a stage. A member of the team singing "I Wish I Were an Oscar Meyer Wiener" while standing in the hot dog section of a local grocery store. A member of the team standing on a surfboard. Any stranger from the state of (pick a state other than your own). Depending on the time of the year members of the team … standing in front of a lighted outdoor Christmas tree, waving an American flag, offering Valentine's candy from a heart-shaped box, carrying an Easter basket while pretending to search for Easter eggs, etc. A friend or acquaintance "abducted" and brought back to the party. A team member helping to carry a stranger's groceries. A stranger trying to spell _____ (a word of your choice, hors d'oeuvres or potato is always a great one). A team member opening a door for a stranger while asking for a tip. A stranger reciting the names of all the continents. One or more members of the team singing at a karaoke bar. A couple dancing to department store or elevator music. A team member reading a book or reciting a poem to a stranger. A team member going to a department store and trying on a shirt or dress that is several sizes too small, then asking the clerk if it fits. A stranger who has been to (a particular tourist attraction of your choice). A stranger demonstrating the Macarena. A stranger named Bob. A stranger who knows your state flower. A stranger who can imitate John Wayne. A policeman drawing a chalk line on the ground around one of the team members. A team member filling a stranger's car with gas, washing the car's windows, and checking the oil. One or more team members standing beside a tombstone. A team member sitting on a fire truck with a fireman. Road kill (an animal that has been run over on the highway). A team member standing by the greeter at a Wal-Mart and greeting the customers. A team member asking a hardware store clerk to explain the difference between a flat head and a Phillips head screwdriver. Team members standing in a row arranging their bodies so that they spell a certain word. A team member washing dishes at a restaurant. Team members singing an Elvis song while standing under a neon sign. A team member holding a chicken. The guests should be given an exact time to return to the party venue. If not back on time, the team is either disqualified or has points deducted for tardiness. Once everyone has returned, the videotapes are played. The guests vote on the stunts presented in each videotape as follows: 1 Point: The stunt was completed, whether done well or not. 2 Points: The stunt was completed with creativity. 3 Points: The stunt was exceptionally creative. Five bonus points are awarded to any team that comes up with an original stunt and tapes it. For example, one team's videotape showed a big, husky male team member walking into a department store and trying on bras in the middle of an aisle as other team members, with straight faces, critiqued the way each one fit. ________________________________________________________________ A different kind of SCAVENGER HUNT My Senior Branches Unit is doing this hunt for the Pathfinders in the Division at camp. It should be neat with how they interperate the things they have to find. Uniform can be OUR uniform we wear or something that is uniform like a fence .... It has already been suggested to me that happiness can be the smile on a McDonald's bag. This is an abstract scavenger hunt. If you have never been involved in this kind of hunt before, let us explain the idea. The items on the list for this hunt are not specific items which can be easily located. You will not find license plates, or hubcaps, or other mundane, boring things like that. Instead, we have given you abstract things to find, and it is up to you, and your imaginative team mates to come up with items that best fit the description you have. Scoring will be done as follows: Points will be awarded for the number of items found from the list, the amount of time in which the hunt was completed, and most importantly, the majority of the teams points will come from creativity of interpretation of the list items! You must find: Team Spirit True Love The Great Canadian Dream The Meaning of Life Happiness Wealth Beauty Style Rhythm Intelligence Wisdom Grace Laughter Seasons Uniform ************************************* This is another "camp" scavenger hunt idea This would be good for 2 units to do at a camp. The Rangers in my unit thought this one up! They are just so creative, when they want to be. Split up into 8-10 people and they are also going on a scavenger hunt. Item#1- Go into the woods and every girl must find one stick and one stick only. It can be any size as long as each girl only brings back one stick. Then find the ranger/leader wearing the blue colored bandana at the campfire pit. She will give you your next activity. Item #2- Now find a roll of duct tape and scissors from one of the groups of which you belong to. Take the scissors and duct tape to the Ranger wearing the white bandana at the campfire pit. There you will receive your the next activity. Recite one of the Sing Ontario Sing songs for your level that You have learned. (Here the rangers/ leaders will cut the duct tape at arms length and they will only get that amount of duct tape to use) Item#3- Now you have all the items that you will need to build a recreation of the CN tower. Your group will only be able to use the sticks that you have collected and the duct tape that you have been given. You can use as much string as you would like. The goal is to create the largest construction of the CN tower possible. ****These are the restrictions- **** -Each person can only have one job (ie. You can't be a talker and the scissors holder at the same time) -Only 5 people can talk -Only one person can touch the duct tape -Two people are in control of the string -One person is in control of the scissors -The rest are in control of the sticks BUT they can only use one hand. ========================== This past weekend our Cluster hosted a fun overnight event for Cadettes and Seniors... We held a Video Car Rally. If you have ever done a "car rally" with youth groups or adults, you know they can be loads of fun but sometimes they get too wild. Well, we were able to plan in the fun and plan out the wild (unsafe) parts. We rented one of our council's in-town cabins/lodges in downtown San Diego. Most girls in our Cluster live about 45 minutes to an hour from downtown San Diego. The event began at 1:30 Saturday afternoon and ended at noon on Sunday. The cost was $10.00 per person and included lodging, dinner, and breakfast. Girls were put into groups of 5-6, with a driver and a video camera. As a group they were given the car rally perimeters, start time and end time, a zip-lock bag with $20.00, a city tourist map, city tourist brochures, list of stunts to video tape, ways to earn bonus points, and mystery point clues. They had 4 hours to complete 18 stunts. They could do the stunts in any order. Each stunt was worth 20 points, if completed fully and correctly. If a stunt had 2 or more parts to it, groups could earn partial points, if the stunt was attempted, but not totally completed. Groups could receive up to 5 bonus points per stunt if they were able to get other people, not in their group, to join them. One point per extra person, up to five people. These stunts can be adapted to many different areas. We plan to do it again in our own town, which has very few tourist spots. Here are the stunts we did in San Diego: 1. Go to a gas station and get someone to let you pump their gas or wash their windows. 2. Go to the San Diego train station. By the fountain - pretend you are a train and sing "I've Been Working on the Railroad. 3. Interview people at the San Diego Zoo. Ask them if they said good-bye to "Hua Me" (the famous panda who is going back to China in Sept.) or if they will say good-bye to Hua Me now for you. 1 extra bonus point for each foreign language, up to five points. 4. Between the Embarcadero and Seaport Village, find one of those cute guys that pedals a "pedicab" and sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Interview him. If you ask the mystery question, you get 5 bonus points. 5. Along the Embarcadero, find the ship that looks like a pirate ship and sing a pirate song or sea chantey on or near it. 6. Find a playground with a slide and get as many people on it at one time as you can. 7. Find a carousel and ride it (one closes at 5:00 and the other at 6:00). Try to "catch the brass ring." Bonus mystery points for riding the secret animal. 8. Go to McDonalds and get ice cream cones. Do a short skit or make up a song about your ice cream cones. 9. Find a porta-potty and stuff as many of your group in as you can. The door must close. 10. Go into a fast food restaurant, other than McDonalds or Burger King, and order a "Big Mac" or "Whopper." 11. Go to the school house in Old Town (closes at 4:00). Sit down as pupils for a lesson. Be Prepared - give a gift to the school house teacher. 12. Get crowns from a Burger King and wear them to Seaport Village while you shop for a San Diego postcard. Bonus points if you pick the mystery tourist spot postcard. 13. In Old Town visit a shop whose name may be that of a relative. Buy something that is 7 for $1.00 (5 bonus points for choosing the mystery flavor). 14. Go into a fast food place and get someone not from your group to sing a commercial jingle from that chain of restaurants. 15. Find a fountain and do your best rendition of "Singing in the Rain" or any other song with rain in it. 16. Go to the Basic Brown Bear Factory, near Old Town. While outside pretend to jump rope while singing the jump rope song, "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around." 17. Ask someone for directions to Australia. 18. The 50 point stunt: Go to the Hotel Del Coronado. Pretend one of you is a tour guide. Give a tour of some of the "haunted rooms." Give three different ghost stories for maximum points. After the "car rally" we had dinner and then watched all the video. They were great and the girls had a great time. Just wanted to share our fun idea.

It was funny. > << Did a team get extra points for returning with the most money in their > Ziplock bag? >> We did not give extra points for the most money returned, but I think we should have. Maybe ten points for the most money returned and 5 for the second most.

We never expected anyone to come close to finishing. << And in that amount of time, did teams > have luck getting that many stunts > completed? >> The most stunts completed was 17, the least was 15. Some stunts were not completed fully. Groups had the hardest time finding an unlocked porta-potty, finding a Burger King to get the crowns, getting to the school house before closing (parking was the frustration). Happy Trails, Rhonda San Diego-Imperial Council, CA ============================================== I just need to share a great field trip I had with my Cadettes (1st year). They were working on the Photography IPP. We started out at the Mall (45 min from where we live). The girls were split into two teams, and they did a "Photo Scavenger Hunt". Each team was given a camera, and clues to a store/business. Their goal was to solve the clue, take pictures of the store/business sign with one of the team members in the picture. They had a list of 20 business and each had a point value. When they were done they could shop. Each team had a different approach. One team was lets get these right. The others was lets try to take as many pictures so we can then go shopping. But they still had fun. We live in a small rural city, and some of the girls had never been to the mall, so it was a treat. Then we went to another "mall" (if you want to call it that. It is one.. if not the oldest in the nation, but there are only a few stores and theaters there), to go to a Camera Store. Although, this had been scheduled with the manager, and reconfirmed this week, he failed to pass it on. So they were surprised to see us. Well the girls were able to see how the film was developed, (using machine, not dark room) how they can fix flaws in pictures, enlargements (they gave us an 11x14 group shot for no cost), cutting all that, it was great. Then they got to see the different types of camera's, digitals, etc. They were even letting the girls handle them, which surprised me. Made me nervous to see 7th graders handling $1000.00 worth of camera. We saw how digital film is processed. The girls had some very good questions. Like why are good 35mm cameras always black? Again practically right down group lines, one group had a great time, the other group "boring". (Although I think they liked it but didn't want me to know) Hey they picked it! But I think they all learned something. To have your flash on, to keep your finger out of the lens. Just wanted to share. Carol T. ============================================== Here's a different kind of scavenger hunt. We've done this with our youth group at church. Set the kids in small groups. You will need a parent (driver) with each group. Make up a list of things for them to find and video themselves doing. It's a video scavenger hunt. We've done this within an hour time limit. The kids loved doing it. We laugh so hard, after everyone is back to the meeting/school where ever starting from, we watch all the videos. Most parents have video cameras and if they drive they usually will barrow their camera to the group. The rule is though, the kids do the videoing, the parent can help with one or two but the kids are suppose to do this. Here is a list of some of the things they had to video themselves doing. Film the rest of your group: with a fireperson at the firehouse(extra points if they're in uniform) hanging from a tree playing basketball on an outdoor court in someone's shower (not anyone in the group though) at someone's kitchen table (different house than the shower and again not anyone in the group) playing leap frog in someone's front yard (not anyone in the groups house) next to a blue Volkswagen beetle inside a police car standing in front of the local movie theater showing today's film(s) in front of culvers (custard/burger restaurant) showing the ice cream flavor of the day swinging on swings in a local park each person in the group kicking a soccer ball into a soccer net jump rope in front of the library find a flag pole flying the flag and sing the national anthem running the bases of a baseball diamond blow a bubble in front of school Each group was given a basketball, soccer ball, bubblegum for each child. Everyone got a little prize. We had small trinket prizes for those arriving first second third and so on and if they videoed everything the way it was written. They had more fun doing it than receiving prizes. ======================================================== If you were looking for a more tradition scavenger hunt here is a list I found. A piece of thread about 5 inches long A button A Rubberband An unsharpened pencil A piece of dental floss A dog bisket A business card A colored paper clip A big safety pin A non spring type clothespin A colored toothpick A baby barrette An empty toilet paper roll A piece of Christmas gift wrap A key (make sure the people do not want it back) A empty bottle of bottled water (with cap for extra points) An old candle that has been burnt almost to the end Someone return address label A cancelled stamp A double A battery The rule is they can only get two things from each house. You could pick a color for each group and if they get any of the items in that particular color give extra points. This is just an idea of a list, add or change things as you wish. Whenever I do this, I try to make the list things people wouldn't mind giving away and don't want returned. To be safe we've always done this during daylight. Good luck and have fun!

We did a mall photo scavenger hunt. The girls were divided into 2 groups and we used disposable cameras and the mall 1 hr photo developer. They were sent out with the following directions and told to return in 1 1/2 hr. I had cruised the mall the weekend before looking for photo opportunities (!) and a good place to meet (we have a large food court). It basically took 1 1/2 hr to get most of the photos-and they were tired after that much time running around. Note that the police and security officiers wouldn't allow their pictures to be taken. Also these directions are personalized as my daughter's favorite thing is frogs. The time it would take to complete this would depend on the size of your mall. Ours is rather large (Ontarion Mills in CA) so there was a lot to do. I had shared this with those here who responded to me individually when I posted my idea. I hope this gives inspiration to those considering such a project! It was fun to see how brave they were! Note: the points were basically just for show. We did determine a winner of the 2 teams but it was just for fun. I really didn't think they'd ask anyone to let them take a picture of their tatoo!

Please circle one: 5 4 3 2 1 Name of store: _________________________________________________________ ========================================================= I've been asked a few questions about how I set up my Hunt, so I thought it would be a good idea to send my answer to the list. Here's what I did - and the outcome... It was a bit time-consuming, but since it was one of their 'big' events for the year, I didn't mind. First, I tried to figure out which stores the girls would really love to get into, ie. Claire's, Bed and Bath, and then I knew they were really put off by Victoria's Secret, so I did that to see if they could overcome their fears and aversions to it. Which they ALL did! Hehehe! Then, I just walked the mall and wrote down all the ideas I could come up with. I filtered through them later and decided which to use and gave them all a point value. I wanted the girls to do a little service on the way, so I incorporated a small service project into it as well (the baby items for a local shelter). I also felt it would be cruel for me not to let the girls get a little something for themselves, so I let them spend some money on themselves at the book store (bookmark) and at Claire's. They all headed to Claire's first and I figured "There goes all their money!", but boy, was I wrong! I was very proud of them! I gave them each an envelope with $10.00 in it and they were to spend as much as they wanted, but the group with the most money left got extra points - this taught them to be wise in their spending. It shocked me to find out that they brought back almost half of what I had given them! I figured it would be pennies - wrong again! Oh, to back up...I talked to each of the stores where the girls were to ask for something or purchase something. I wanted to make sure they were aware. And to make sure the girls behaved, I gave the stores (I think there were only 4 or 5) a score card to score the girls' behavior. There's an interesting story about this later! Then I talked to Mall Security and the guy at the Information desk and gave them instructions to stop the girls and tear off a corner of their papers if they were seen being unruly. They thought this was a great idea! Not a single corner was torn off! Again - very proud leader! :~) One point - when talking to security, I never mentioned the word "Scavenger Hunt". I just told them the girls would be learning how to behave in the mall, work with money, find what they're looking for, speak to mall employees, etc. It was a "learning" thing. Worked like a charm! (I had heard other groups were not allowed to have Scavenger Hunts in the Mall - a friend's church group was stopped in the middle of one - probably because they had to get pictures of things). We all met at the Mall at a set time and I gave the girls their instructions and list of things to look for. They all squeeled when they saw the last item! It was SO funny, but to this day, my daughter can tell you the largest bra size in VS! By the way, the people in there thought it was a hoot as well! They couldn't wait for the girls to come in! I divided the girls into 3 groups (I had 15 girls, but only 12 showed up). I made sure each group had a watch and I sent them off. They had to be back at the food court by a certain time or points would be taken off for each minute they were late. Unfortunately, one of the mothers decided she didn't want her daughter "running the mall" so she thought it was best to tag along. I TRIED to tell her it was OK, and that I had people all over the mall watching them, but she just wouldn't listen! So off she went with that group. The girls did a wonderful job and were very well behaved (amazing!). They all got back to the food court and we tallied up their points - there was a winner, but no 'prize'. They didn't even ask for one! :~) They had so much money left that I gave each one $2.00 and let them 'blow it' in the Archade, then I got ice cream cones for all of them. It was SO MUCH FUN! Since we were there only about 1 1/2-2 hours, a lot of the parents stayed at the mall and waited. All the better, more people to watch the girls. My husband even came and acted as a watchdog too. He had a blast! Interesting thing here...Out of the groups that went, they all came back on time - except for the one with the mother tagging along! They were 5 minutes late! They all got a score from ALL stores for behavior (a 5) except for the group with the mother! They got ALL 4's on their cards! The girls were able to accomplish about 12 things on the list - except for the group with the mother! They only got about 7 things done! Who brought back the least amount of money? Yup, you guessed it! To make it even more interesting, this is the same mother that, this year, just dumps her daughter off without coming in and is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get to sign a permission slip AND is the hardest to track down to get money from! Her daughter still owes money from the beginning of the year and is the only one behind on her dues! Go figure! Someone asked me what badge, etc. I hooked this activity up with. Well, unfortunately, my group isn't at all interested in earning badges or patches, so we did it just for the fun of it. I really think they learned a lot and had a good time doing it. I know the adults did! And I got some positive feedback from the merchants. I'm sure you could find something in, maybe, Money Sense or Business -Wise or something like that to put it toward. Oh, I almost forgot, I also made sure I went back afterward (the day after) and gave everyone involved a thank you card. That's all I can think of right now. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Cathi ================================================ -----Original Message----- From: firstname.lastname@example.com [SMTP:email@example.com] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 3:00 PM To: email@example.com Subject: [GSSUEC] great event Last year we had a scavenger hunt, through out our town. This was just for our troops. I compiled the list for each troop and it consisted of things to get and questions to answer. examples are 1.Deleware quarter (some of the girls went to the banks and asked the tellers to check through their drawers 2. Mayor's signature (we live in a small town) 3. church bulletins from the local churches 4. gas reciept 5. How many windows are on the red brick building on Main St.? 6. police officer's badge number The list was about 1 1/2 pages long, they had 1hr to collect as many things as possible. Different things had different values, like the Mayor's signature was 20 points and the gas receipt was 10, deposit slips from the bank were 5 points but if you got one from every bank it was an additional 10 points. We broke the neighborhood into age levels and the winner of each received a gift certificate for a free pizza and bottle of soda from the local pizza place. Every troop received a platter of cookies and candy. Everyone loved it and had a great time. This year I'm doing a treasure hunt where I will give a clue and they need to find the next and that will lead to the next one till they reach the end which will be a party to celebrate Julliette Lowe's Birthday. ==================================================== 3. Becky - mailto:email@example.com Our Service Unit is looking at holding a Scavenger Hunt - we need some suggestions from those who may have already gone this route in the past. >>Response #1 from Lynn - mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com I'm not sure how many girls will be involved. Sounds like it's going to be rather big. I will share with you what we did at day camp a couple of years ago and maybe you can adapt it for your event. We did it as a "Mystery". We did a ceremony where each unit placed a golden trefoil onto a poster board and we welcomed each of the units to camp. During the first day of camp, all of the golden trefoils mysteriously disappeared. All throughout the day we asked around if anyone knew what happened to the trefoils. Then at closing ceremony that day, there was a note there saying that they were taken, cut up and the pieces were hidden around camp (all of the notes were in rhyme form). The units were to find the pieces based on the clues to put their trefoil back together. At the same time, there were clues as to the "mystery person's" identity, and with those clues, they had to figure out who that person was (favorite color, favorite food, age, number of years in Girl Scouting, etc.) The girls were instructed to ask around camp of everyone there to try to figure out who it was. So each morning there was a new clue as to where their trefoil piece was (they had to go find it), and with the trefoil piece was a clue as to the mystery person's identity. On the last day of camp, they were rewarded their prizes if they put their trefoil back together and/or figured out who the mystery person was (everyone did, and they all received their prizes). This might not be what you're looking for, but maybe it might spark some ideas for something that is more suitable for your event. Have fun!

Chicago Cubs Tickets

2015 Chicago Cubs Tickets– Starting Over
The Chicago Cubs have been up and down but you'd be hard pressed to find another team in Major League Baseball that can draw a crowd like the Cubs. Wrigley Field has been one of those iconic baseball parks that just can't be reproduced anywhere but in the Windy City, and Chicago Cubs tickets are one of the most treasured MLB tickets around. The 2015 Chicago Cubs are under new management, but no matter what happens there will always be Cubs fans pounding on the door. It's time for you to get your piece of this historic franchise with Chicago Cubs tickets and a day at Wrigley Field.
Chicago Cubs Tickets – See it at Wrigley
The Chicago Cubs have been fan favorites for as long as anyone can remember. Long suffering Cubs fan know that their chance at another World Series could be just around the corner, and an end to 100 years of frustration is just too good a chance to pass up. Plus, there's the magic of Wrigley Field to draw in the home crowd. Find out why these Cubs fans keep coming back year after year. Grab from Frontrow.com
The 2011 Chicago Cubs will be trying to forget 2010 and move on with a lot of new names in the organization. A season that began with promise ended up as a disaster for Chicago. By the end of it, Lou Piniella was gone, replaced by Mike Quade. Ted Lilly left town, as did Derrek Lee, Mike Fontenot, and Ryan Theriot. In other words, 2011 Chicago Cubs tickets will require a lineup card, at least for awhile.
One thing the 2011 Chicago Cubs do have going for them is a little momentum carrying over from last season. New Manager Mike Quade did a good job of handling his team, pushing them to a 24-13 record once he assumed command. Quade spent some time rebuilding his roster in the offseason, acquiring Carlos Pena in a bold move, but for the most part it looks like the Chicago Cubs will be relying heavily on young talent to start the revival.
Shortstop Starlin Castro is a work in progress on the defensive side of the ball, but he did bat .300 in his debut season. Tyler Colvin, another rookie, hit 20 home runs and plays a respectable outfield. On the mound Quade will have to tame the mercurial Carlos Zambrano, who seems to be either all in it or totally out of it. Getting him on an even keel could boost the Cubs chance in the NL Central considerably.
Chicago Cubs Tickets – Riding the Wave
For the third season in a row Chicago Cubs tickets delivered a winning season in 2009. It's now up to the Cubs themselves and a new wave of management to keep Cubs tickets riding a new wave of popularity. For too may seasons the Chicago Cubs were a likeable and hapless bunch, prone to being streaky, and breaking the hearts of Chicago baseball fans. Now that the club seems to be on more solid footing on the field and long term plans are in place with the new owners, Cubs ticket holders are hoping for an injury free season in 2010, one that could erase the memories of a late season fade.
Cubs Tickets – Piniella Pulls Out the Stops?
Having Lou Piniella at the helm of the Chicago Cubs has been a godsend. His experience and steady hand have guided the Cubs to a consistent winning style and bred hope for the future. Now as the 2010 Chicago Cubs look to challenge in the NL Central, expectations are that Piniella will throw everything he's got at the opposition to cement a return and a long term deal.
And there's no doubt Cubs ticket holders would like to the vet at the helm again. But Piniella will need a little better luck in 2010 to garner a long term deal. Injuries and weak trades derailed Chicago, an effect felt late in the season as the club dropped from a neck and neck division race to falling out of the money. DL time for 3rd baseman Aramis Ramirez and outfielder Alfonso Soriano, as well as NL Rookie of the Year Geovany Soto, crippled the Cubs offense.
Cubs Pitching – Entering a Comfort Zone
The Chicago Cubs can at least throw a solid starting rotation on to the mound. Carlos Zambrano had his ups and downs last season, but his troughs yielded a 9-7 record and 3.77 ERA. Expect Piniella to pick and choose his spots in the 2010 MLB season. Ryan Dempster is experienced and crafty, but he's another pitcher that needs careful handling. Ted Lilly isn't expected to start the season so Randy Wells will be called upon to fill in the gap. Wells won 12 games last season and posted a 3.05 ERA. The #5 spot in the rotation is up for grabs, with either Carlos Silva or Tom Gorzelanny looking to win the position.
Cubs Tickets – The NL Central Battle
The Cubs will have their hands full in the NL Central. Struggling in 2009 means baseball pundits are calling for a race between the Cubs and Cardinals for dominance in the division. With the Cardinals offense led by Albert Pujols and the defense featuring Chris Carpenter, Chicago will have to stay healthy and play steady ball to keep up. The Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds are still building a talent pool while the Houston Astros and Pittsburgh Pirates look to be the weak links. So, it's up to the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals to make a race in the NL Central. With just a dab of luck on their sides, Cubs ticket holders could be enjoying playoff tickets again in 2010.
