Five Mexican hot chocolates that will warm you up
There's nothing better than a steaming cup of hot chocolate to help get you through Chicago's coldest days, but there's something extra special about the gentle bite of cocoa that's brewed with a little chile and spice. Maybe it's the pepper, maybe it's the south-of-the-border flare, or maybe it's just that it makes you feel all warm and chocolatey inside—no matter how you slice it, a Mexican hot chocolate will quell your shivering. We picked five places you can go when you find yourself wandering the chilly streets in need of cocoa with a kick. XOCO: Chocolate is a serious business at Rick Bayless' casual dining establishment in River North. In keeping with hot chocolate's South American roots, XOCO imports all of their cocoa beans from Tabasco, Mexico, and grinds them right there on site. Order the Aztec chocolate for a blend of chile, allspice and house-ground chocolate, and the experience is simple bean-to-cup bliss. Darker and somehow deeper than other chocolates on this list, a cup of this heavy brew will challenge your senses with a spectrum of complex flavors and textures. Cafe Jumping Bean: Creamy, decadent and silky smooth, the tingle of the spices in the chocolate from this Pilsen mainstay blend so seamlessly that you'd swear it tastes like velvet feels. You might catch a twinkle of humor in the cashier's eyes as she takes your order for a "tall Mexican," or a short one. If you take it to go, you can take the opportunity to stroll past the beautiful murals and sRead more
The three best things to do today in Chicago
1. Laugh out loud at the Lyric Who says opera can't be funny? The Lyric Opera has once again joined forces with the Second City for Louder! Louder! Wagner!, which provides a comedic look at the life of the Ring Cycle composer. (Civic Opera House, 20 N Wacker Dr, $35-$65) 2. Give yourself a good scare Beat the weekend lines at Statesville Haunted Prison tonight. It's a schlep out there, but the complete terror it incites makes the trip worth it. (Statesville Haunted Prison, 17250 S Weber Rd, 7pm-10pm. $30, VIP $45) 3. Make it a movie night Tonight's your last night to see a movie during the Chicago International Film Festival! If you haven't attended yet, jump on it, because the fest won't be back until next year. (AMC River East 21, 322 E Illinois St, various times. $11)Read more
15 Chicago-centric Halloween costume ideas
With Halloween weekend quickly approaching it's time for procrastinators to finally figure out how they'll dress up for the party-filled weekend. Sure, you can run to any Halloween store and buy a generic costume in a bag, or you can get a little creative and come up with a costume representative of our fine city. We've rounded up a few ideas to rep Chicago this year and you can peruse our Chicago costume ideas from last year for even more inspiration. 1. Grandpa Rossy. This one's easy enough, just grab a David Ross jersey and a cane or walker. 2. Pizza Squirrel. You stole our pizza and our hearts earlier this year. Just a squirrel costume and a slice of pizza. Bonus: You won't be as hungover as your friends the next day because you'll be eating throughout the night. 3. The Aloha Billboard. The Aloha billboard hung in Logan Square for over a year, gaining quite a following including a Tumblr page asking if it was still up. Even though it's been taken down now, dress up as the Cameron Crowe flop starring Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone and see how many people get it. 4. Paul McGee. Do you have a long beard (or a fake one)? Perfect. Pair with glasses and a Hawaiian shirt to get the look of Chicago's best bartender. The downside? Everyone might ask you to make drinks all night. 5. Navy Pier Ferris Wheel. Just wear lights that blink and change colors constantly. 6. Bill Murray at the White House. Podium + Cubs gear. 7. Ferris Bueller. Faded jeans, white T-shirt, cardigan.Read more

Appointments are available on a first-come first-served basis. Want more? Sign up here to stay in the know.Read more
Seven Wrigleyville bars not charging cover during the World Series
Being a Chicago Cubs fan is getting expensive. We've bought new shirts to carry us through October and we've been out drinking a lot more than we would during a normal season. It's no surprise that bars are getting crowded, what with the whole city jumping on the bandwagon, so we checked in with Wrigleyville bars to confirm which ones will be airing the rest of the series without charging a cover. While some locations have are charging hundreds of dollars for the privilege of watching TV in proximity to the home of the Cubs, none of these bars are taking reservations and most require a minimum group size for a table. Still, if you must watch the game in the heart of Wrigleyville, this is probably the closest you'll get to the Friendly Confines without forking over three month's rent. 1. Murphy's Bleachers 2. Vines on Clark 3. The Irish Oak 4. Johnny O'Hagans 5. Roadhouse 66 Gas N' Grill 6. The Bar Celona 7. Sports Corner Want more? Sign up here to stay in the know.Read more
Cheer up Cubs fans, here's a bunch of dogs rooting for the Cubs too
After a rough game last night, all Chicago Cubs fans could use a little cheering up (it's only game one after all, we have plenty of time). Still, Chicago is having no shortage of Cubs pride for this year's World Series run, from lifelong fans to bandwagoners (and if you aren't on the bandwagon yet, go ahead and jump on, it'll be fun). We've even passed it along to our dogs and c'mon, who doesn't love a dog all dressed up? Here's your daily dose of cute.

The best places to watch the World Series that aren't sports bars
Game one of the Chicago Cubs vs. Cleveland Indians World Series will be broadcast on every TV in Chicago tonight at 7pm. Most Chicagoans have never seen our Cubbies make it this far in postseason baseball, so we've got to watch every second of it to make sure it's really happening. There are tons of great bar and restaurant specials happening across the city, and of course, no sports bar on the North Side is going Cubs-free tonight. But we found a few spots across the city broadcasting the World Series that won't have sticky floors and the lingering scent of Old Style. Metro Chicago If you dare venture to the heart of Wrigleyville, Metro Chicago is hosting a 93XRT pre-game party and screening the entire game. There will be great live music from Robbie Fulks, Mr. Blotto and Lydia Loveless during the pre-game. No cover charge, and you'll be right at the epicenter of Cubsland. Logan Theater Logan Square's iconic independent movie theater is screening the full World Series. Tickets are complimentary, but space is limited, so secure your reservation here. Grab a cocktail in the movie theater bar, or stay classic with a popcorn and a Coke. Fountainhead Okay, technically this one's a bar, but Fountainhead is combining its annual Punk'n Party with World Series viewing. Indulge in great beer and food specials, pumpkin carving, punk music and the best Cubs team we've had in decades. We're so spoiled. Mariano's You wouldn't think of a grocery store as the first place to watch aRead more

FLINT, MI — For years, Saginaw Street has been the main attraction for downtown Flint.
While businesses exist on the east- and westbound side streets, it's the red bricks of Saginaw that have seen the vast majority of the action in the rebirth of downtown.
But now people are starting to think that may change.
"The new Farmers' Market location creates a second stage for downtown," Mayor Dayne Walling said. "Saginaw Street, on the bricks, now has a companion with the Farmers' Market on First Street. There are more opportunities for events. The walkable downtown core is expanding."
The Farmers Market is leaving its former location of 420 E. Boulevard, and is moving to 300 First St., about a block east of Saginaw Street in the heart of Flint's downtown. It will be housed in the former Flint Journal printing facility, where more than 50 vendors, some new to the market, will be open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The grand opening will be at 8 a.m. June 21.
Flint Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Gerard Burnash said he expects it to not only expand how people see downtown geographically, but also to be a draw for more people to the area.
"It's going to have a huge impact. It's going to be a big driver to get people downtown," he said. "We're finally moving off the north-south corridor off Saginaw Street and now we're going to be moving east and west."
Walling said he expects to see more of that in the future.
"Everything we know about downtown Flint is that it's going to grow its number of businesses and entertainment options. So there are multiple opportunities along the Harrison corridor, the Beach corridor. Over the coming years, those are going to fill up with people and businesses," he said.
Burnash said he also hopes it will draw more attention to Wilson Park, a shady, grassy area that sits between the new market and the University of Michigan-Flint. As for the college itself, he said he hopes that the market, which also is near a UM-Flint resident hall, gets more students involved in the downtown scene.
As far as downtown resident Kathleen Gazall is concerned on that score, "The more the merrier," she said.
In addition to students, she said that she expects to see in the area more suburbanites who were longtime customers at the old location but never made it downtown.
"I welcome the people," she said. "They'll have a pleasant experience downtown and they'll come back. ... It's a win-win for everybody downtown, whether you're a business owner, if you work downtown or if you live downtown."
"For me, it's all positive."

- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 to 2 tablespoons ice water
- 2 or 3 cloves Garlic, pounded into a paste
- Sea Salt
- Pinch of freshly ground Black Pepper (optional)
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted Butter
- 3 shallots, minced, or 1 small Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 4 pounds Black Mussels, scrubbed and debearded
- 1 or 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cognac
- 1 to 1 1/2 Belgian or other Wheat Beer or Dry White Wine
- 1 cup Crme Fraiche
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf Parsley leaves, rinsed and squeezed dry
- Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper
- French Fries
To make the aioli, in a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of the ice water, garlic, salt, and pepper until thick and light. Begin adding the extra virgin olive oil a drop at a time while whisking constantly. As the mixture begins to thicken, begin adding the extra virgin oil in a slow, thin, steady stream while continuing to whisk constantly. When all of the extra virgin oil has been added, begin adding the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, stopping when the egg yolk can absorb no more oil and you have a thick, creamy emulsified sauce. If the sauce begins to break (the oil and egg yolk separate), add a few more drops of ice water. (If you don't feel like employing so much elbow grease, use a blender, processing the egg yolk, ice water, garlic, salt, and pepper until thick and light and then adding the oil in a thin, steady stream with the motor running.)
To cook the mussels, in a large saut pan or braising pan, melt the butter over high heat. When the butter is hot, add the shallots and cook, stirring, for a few minutes, until the shallots begin to soften. Add the mussels, garlic, and Cognac and pour in the beer to a depth of about 1 inch. Cover the pan, bring the liquid to a simmer, and cook, shaking the pan back and forth, for about 5 minutes, until the mussels begin to open. Uncover, and when the mussels have opened, add the crme fraiche and parsley, and swirl to combine. Continue to cook until everything is piping hot. Season with salt and pepper, being conservative with the salt because mussels can be salty.
To serve, pile the fries on a big plate and place in the center of the table. Divide the mussels evenly among deep bowls, being sure to get a nice amount of broth in the bottom of each bowl and discarding any mussels that failed to open. Serve aioli on the side for guests to enjoy as they like. I don't use it for the mussels. I use it for the fries!

text: [[quoteright:300:[[Website/{{Cracked}} http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/10-sec_9833.jpg]]]][[caption-width-right:300:[[LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics Now with 300% more output capacity!]]]]In video games where the player is given a flashlight, it will come in one of two flavors: its batteries run either [[InfiniteFlashlight forever]] or for a pitifully short time. This is the latter case. Perhaps the batteries are near-dead, perhaps it's [[JustifiedTrope an inefficient light]] [[InvokedTrope recognized as such in-universe]], perhaps it's simply a cruel trick being played on the player's avatar. Whatever the reason, few (if any) games have realistic flashlights with cells that last at least a solid hour before needing a replacement.More shockingly, in most cases of Ten Second Flashlight, the battery will actually recharge by itself, and in in half the time it took to discharge, leaving questions as to why they simply didn't double up the power source. If it ''doesn't'' recharge, you may have to rely on your MuzzleFlashlight instead. Typically, this kind of torch tends to shine a brighter light than the infinite variety to compensate for the short runtime.Used to be TruthInTelevision in the flashlight's early years –- the reason it has this name is exactly because it could only be "flashed" in short bursts, or the batteries would die at about the rate a safety match burns out. TechnologyMarchesOn, however, and with it came low-powered models that could last a few good hours... provided the ''bulb'' held (the regular incandescent one hardly would last a full battery charge). Finally, since TheNewTens, [=LEDs=] can easily {{invoke|dTrope}} a {{downplayed|Trope}} version of InfiniteFlashlight: torches on low-output modes have ordinary batteries lasting ''months'' even when used nonstop.----!!Examples[[foldercontrol]][[folder:AdventureGame]]* In the classic computer game ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion'', there is a flashlight item that, when first acquired, is one of these. However, when you acquire fresh batteries, it becomes an InfiniteFlashlight.** Ironically, the ten second batteries can last you quite a while in the game as long as you're just exploring the darkness, but they burn out in a nanosecond if you try to use them in the single place in the game where you actually ''need'' a flashlight.* Justified in ''VideoGame/DejaVu II'', as the game states that since your character took poor care of the flashlight, the batteries are corroded and have little power. The game also pokes fun at the battery technology of the 1940s.* The memorable Serpent's Grotto puzzle from the first game in ''VideoGame/{{The Legend of Kyrandia}}'' series involves clever use of multiple disposable flashlights. Serpent's Grotto consists mostly of a series of caverns with glowing Fireberry bushes growing at strategic locations throughout. Warmth (from Brandon's hand) causes the berries to decay and lose their glow (a Fireberry continues to give off light for exactly three screens when held); when they're on the cold floor, the decay stops and the glow remains constant. So Brandon must explore the Grotto by dropping Fireberries on the floor to light up otherwise pitch-black rooms. Get caught in a room with no bush and no berries, and [[DarknessEqualsDeath the results are predictably unpleasant.]]* In a variant, the chemical glow-sticks from ''[[NancyDrew The Curse Of Blackmoor Manor]]'' will fail at least twice in a game, no matter how recently you acquired or activated them.[[/folder]][[folder:Action-Adventure]]* The lantern in VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames ''Link: The Faces of Evil'' and ''Zelda: Wand of Gamelon'' lasts for just a handful of seconds.* Averted in ''Videogame/AloneInTheDark2008''. Your two main inventory items are a pistol and a flashlight. The flashlight operates on batteries (which you find scattered throughout the game) and does eventually run out of power, but each battery lasts for a good few minutes, which can last you a while if you switch it on and off as needed.** Not to mention the fact that after you burn one of the evil roots (don't ask, it's complicated), you get an ability that makes killing enemies easy, ''as long as you keep your eyes closed''. It's that kind of game.* In ''Fester's Quest'', you keep on having to collect light bulbs so you can see inside the darkened sewers. Light bulbs shouldn't go out that quickly.** Possibly justified in that this is Fester Addams of Series/TheAddamsFamily we're talking about. He's not putting them in a flashlight, he's putting them ''in his mouth'', which lights them. How long could you sit there with a lightbulb in your mouth while fighting aliens?* ''VideoGame/TombRaiderII'' uses flares, which last for a good few minutes before burning out and are plentiful. In ''VideoGame/TombRaiderIII'', they last only half as long.[[/folder]][[folder:First-Person Shooter]]* The ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' series zig-zags the trope between titles.** [[VideoGame/HalfLife1 The original title]] and ''Blue Shift'' have a downplayed case. Gordon's and Barney's lights have a limited runtime and recharge when off (all signified by how solid or transparent the icon looks), though it can stay on for a good three minutes and recharges in less than a full one. Same goes for Shepard's NightVisionGoggles in ''Opposing Force''.** In ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' and ''Episode One'', it's played straight, draining quite fast and recharging just slightly faster. A [[LampshadeHanging lampshade is hung]] on it in ''Episode One'', and it was spoofed in the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Concerned}}'', specifically [[http://www.screencuisine.net/hlcomic/index.php?date=2005-06-22 issue 20]], along with the fact that in ''Half-Life 2'', the flashlight for some reason uses the same power source as the "sprint" and "oxygen" abilities. Supposedly, the flashlight is attached to Gordon's H.E.V. suit and feeds off of a universal power cell, but how a light bulb drains power nearly as quickly as sprinting and pumping oxygen while underwater is anyone's guess. It's PlayedForDrama and horror in the "[[BlackoutBasement Lowlife]]" segment of ''Episode 1'', where Gordon and Alyx have to go through a tunnel filled with monsters, and she will only shoot at the farther enemies if you're shining the light on them.** ''Episode Two'' goes back to [[VideoGame/HalfLife1 the first game's]] concept and {{downplay|edTrope}}s the trope, this time by separating the flashlight from the auxiliary power supply and giving the light its own, longer-lasting energy gauge. A HandWave explains that the crash at the end of ''Episode One'' broke the old flashlight, and the new one was an improvised replacement. That it's better than the original invokes a bit of FridgeBrilliance: it's been twenty years since the first game, and TechnologyMarchesOn, which would include better flashlights becoming available.* The first ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' game has a head-mounted lantern and infrared goggles that place a drain on your overall energy bar. The lantern, however, can have its intensity adjusted, allowing the power drain to also be adjusted.* ''[[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]]'' and both Vivendi expansions use a very short-ranged and short-running headlamp. It's in your best interest to leave the flashlight off if you don't absolutely need it, considering enemies will notice the beam. From ''F.E.A.R. 2'' and on, you get [[InfiniteFlashlight the other variety]].* ''VideoGame/{{Unreal|I}}'' has flashlights that have batteries for a full minute only, and when exhausted, have to be replaced. [[JustifiedTrope It's likely that they belonged to other survivors, and they would have been used, battered, simply left lying for a long time, or all of the above]]. There are also the more common flares, which when tossed, burn for some 20 seconds. Both are the crux of Prisoner 849's illumination tools until she finds the [[InfiniteFlashlight searchlight]], which, while not actually infinite in the game code, has enough juice in it to last until the end of the game, be it the core campaign or the expansion pack.* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'':** In ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'', the humans possess technology enabling interstellar travel, yet cannot make flashlights capable of lasting much more than the usual ten seconds, or even providing enough light to do anything other than give away your location to other players (play co-op and notice how much light reaches your partner's eyes compared to your own; [[TruthInTelevision this is how flashlights work IRL]], but for gameplay purposes it's useless). ** Actually made worse in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'' - Master Chief gets an infinite flashlight, however it automatically turns off after about four or five seconds if he uses it while in an area with any level of light above "pitch black" (meaning you only really get to use it for a twenty-foot stretch of tunnel in New Mombasa). His Covenant counter-part, the Arbiter, has no flashlight at all, which can be particularly annoying considering his levels tend to be much darker than the Chief's.** ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'' finally averts this; your flashlight can be left on forever.** Subsequent games have dropped the flashlight all together, though ''{{VideoGame/Halo 4}}''[='s=] Promethean Vision works similar to this trope; despite allowing you to do things like see through walls, it ''still'' doesn't last very long. For their part, ''VideoGame/Halo3ODST'' and ''VideoGame/HaloReach'' do give you infinite night vision; ''ODST'' gives the soldiers ''without'' all the fancy expensive gene mods and nuclear-powered armour VISR mode, and ''Reach'' (a ''prequel'') gives you a proper night-vision mode. * The ''Aliens vs. Predator'' games are also worthy of mention. Despite giving you a flashlight, flares and nightvision, none of them last more than a minute.** Except for the most recent installment. You get an InfiniteFlashlight, but now flares last for less time than it takes to empty a [[MuzzleFlashlight pulse rifle magazine]].** The first game in the series, actually, allows unlimited use of night vision. It does disable your motion tracker, though.* ''VideoGame/{{Metro 2033}}'' and [[VideoGame/MetroLastLight its sequel]] play with this trope: [[InfiniteFlashlight your flashlight will always work regardless of your battery charge]], but you're given a hand charger which can be used to make the light brighter for a few minutes. Considering most of the game takes place in pitch-black corridors and certain enemies can be BlindedByTheLight, whipping out the charger every so often is helpful. The night vision goggles play it straight: they ''do'' only last for a few minutes before you have to charge them. Justified in the sense that any working night-vision equipment, and the rechargeable batteries for them, will be ''at least'' 20 years old and [[AfterTheEnd kept in worse conditions than recommended by the manufacturer]].* ''{{VideoGame/Doom}} 3: BFG Edition'' replaces the flashlight weapon from the original ''Doom 3'' with a ''Half-Life'' style armor-mounted flashlight. True to the trope, it lasts about thirty seconds but recharges in about three, so you can keep the hallways lit pretty much forever as long as you flick the flashlight on and off over and over.* The ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}'' nanosuit has a night vision set which last sixty seconds or so.** ''Crysis 2'' combines night vision and infrared vision into "nanovision", [[InfraredXrayCamera which also helps see through dust and smoke]]. It draws from the same energy bar as Cloak and Armor Mode, lasting around 45 seconds from a full charge.[[/folder]][[folder:Interactive Fiction]]* ''VideoGame/{{Zork}}'' has an electric lantern with a battery generous enough to finish the game with ''if you know what you're doing''. Its battery is finite and leaving it on when not needed will eventually run it down. This is an especially large problem since, unlike in other games, proceeding into darkened areas unaided is impossible, because [[DarknessEqualsDeath more than three turns in the dark will get you eaten by a Grue]]. Fortunately, ''Zork'' is usually kind enough to give you some kind of alternative light source ... though these tend to show up only very late in the game (''Zork II'') or be ''very'' easy to lose (''Zork I'' and ''III'').** Hilariously, ''Sorceror'', set in the Zork Universe, has a potion that lets you see in the dark, and works perfectly as described. However, Grues have no problem with ''being seen''...** The original InteractiveFiction game, ''ColossalCave'', also had a battery-powered lamp. Its batteries would last ''nearly'' the whole game, and could be stretched to last the whole game if you were clever. A vending machine found in the game would dispense new batteries, but at the cost of one of your treasures (all of which were worth points), forcing you to manage your battery life carefully if you wanted [[HundredPercentCompletion to get the maximum possible score]].[[/folder]][[folder:PartyGame]]* Played straight with the "Luigi's Ghost Mansion" game in ''VideoGame/{{Nintendoland}}'' -- the flashlights have a limited charge, and you'll have to find another battery if it runs dry. Even the extra-large batteries run out in a minute if you leave them on continuously.[[/folder]][[folder:Platform Game]]* ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' has a required minigame involving minecarts, obstacles, diamonds, batteries... and a flashlight that starts dimming the moment you start. But the flashlight isn't for Mario's direct benefit; it's so you can see ''Luigi's'' obstacles and diamonds. The bouncing batteries need only be collected to start being effective; [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality no changing is required]].* ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' games have a variation where there are usually one or two pitch black levels per game. The levels contain stationary insects that glow, lighting up their surroundings and will start following Crash if he goes near them. After a certain amount of time the insects will fly away, leaving the level pitch black again.* A gimmick in ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles''' Sandopolis Zone, Act 2 is that it's dark, and various switches can be pulled to make it light for approximately ten seconds. Ghosts start chasing you when the lights go off.* Gleamin' Bream in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble'' - once Enguarde pokes it, it will give off enough light for you to see for a few seconds before it goes back out.* ''VideoGame/MegaManZero 2'' has a variant in two areas of a specific stage where there are invisible crystal platforms over a long row of non-stop spikes. A mirror-like object follows you through those areas, changing color at random intervals and releasing flame-like enemies in whichever color it currently is when you hit it. Whichever platforms share the color of those flame-like enemies remain visible until they move off-screen after a few seconds or you kill them yourself.* Jason's flashlight in ''VideoGame/ShadowComplex'' expires in about two or three minutes and then recharges to full in a couple of seconds. Due to the somewhat slow drain time and speedy recovery, it's more forgiving than other video game flashlights.[[/folder]][[folder:RPG]]* In ''Franchise/DragonQuest'', the torches that you can by from the store only lights a tiny 3x3 square and burns out at ridiculously fast levels; later, you can learn a lighting spell with a larger range and lasts much longer.* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'', the player has access to torches and racial abilities that enable them to see in the dark. However, these last for only a few minutes at most, leading to strange questions as to how exactly these people are supposed to be turning their eyes on. There are a few pieces of equipment that have permanent night vision or ambient glow, which act as {{Infinite Flashlight}}s.** In ''Oblivion'' however, the torches last around 15 minutes, which is reasonable when combined with the fact that they're weightless and readily available. The main drawback is not being able to use a shield or two-handed weapon (''Morrowind'' light sources had the same disadvantage, except most light sources had durations more in line with this trope, and weren't weightless).** Skyrim averts it, making all torches infinite. With them in the Misc. section, and most items there unable to be used, you'd be forgiven for forgetting or not knowing you can equip them. That said, there's also the same night vision, as well as the Magelight spell, which summons a ball of light.[[/folder]][[folder:Roguelike]]* Averted in ''VideoGame/{{Angband}}'': even wooden torches will last for a while, provided you buy them from the general store. A brass lantern will go further on flasks of oil and gives more light too. A few FantasticLightSource artifacts provide light indefinitely, although they can be LostForever.[[/folder]][[folder:Role-Playing Game]]* In ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' and ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga 2'', the Light Ball is an item that works as a lantern for a short while (one full Kagutsuchi or Solar Noise cycle, depending on the game). If you traipse around in the dark where you're supposed to use them, you're going to be ambushed at every single random encounter, putting you at a major disadvantage.[[/folder]][[folder:Simulation]]* Both ''TraumaCenter: Second Opinion'' and ''New Blood'' feature operations in the dark (under different circumstances). As the operations progress, the sources of light continue to fail until the player is left using a camera flash to get a good view of the patient, and trying to continue from memory until the flash recharges.[[/folder]][[folder:Survival Horror]]* The flashlights in the ''VideoGame/{{Penumbra}}'' series devour batteries, each set lasting only a few minutes. The game explains this by saying that it's a really old, terrible flashlight. However, this applies to both your torch and another one that you find later on, so Phil must have ''really'' terrible luck. Fortunately, you have a glowstick [[InfiniteFlashlight that lasts infinitely]] and Phil's night vision is nothing short of ''stupendous''. In fact, these two mechanics are so useful that you shouldn't need to use the flashlight more than ten separate times in both ''Overture'' and ''Black Plague'' together. Interestingly, ''Requiem'' replaces this with an InfiniteFlashlight, supporting [[EpilepticTrees the theory]] that it's a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind. * ''VideoGame/SilentHill4'' does away with the flashlights used in the first three games; however, in the second visit to the Forest World, Henry must use a burning torch to retrieve a series of {{MacGuffin}}s from a series of darkened wells. Normally, this torch will go out after traversing three screens or so, forcing Henry to make repeated (and dangerous) journeys back and forth to re-light it. However, if he makes a detour back to his apartment and soaks the torch in oil, it will last much longer, effectively turning it into an InfiniteFlashlight.* In ''VideoGame/AlanWake'', this is a core gameplay mechanic. Most of the time, actually, the Flashlights do not drain quickly, and the battery will actually flat-out ''recharge''... Except that you need to run it on a high setting to remove the darkness from enemies so that they can be slain - and one battery will only last around ''four'' seconds on this setting. Flares aren't much better, lasting roughly 15 seconds. The implied in-game explanation is that whatever cosmic forces are battling over and with Alan are doing it. Channeling cosmic power through a portable illumination appliance can't be good for its operational life.* Played wonderfully in ''VideoGame/{{Cryostasis}}: Sleep of Reason'', where you find a soviet flashlight that runs long enough for you to forget how long its been on, and always seems to cut out just about when the creepy noise happens. You can then turn it on again instantly, to help change your pants.* ''Film/{{Juon}}: Film/TheGrudge Haunted House Simulator'' on the Wii has essentially two types of gameplay: {{Lock and Key Puzzle}}s, and this. You'll find batteries for your ever-depleting flashlights -- and sometimes even ''other flashlights'' -- throughout the areas to allow you to continue exploring; just like ''VideoGame/{{Shadowgate}}'', the minute your light source goes out, it's an instant game over.* ''VideoGame/{{Wick}}'' has the candles. They deplete and must constantly be replaced. [[spoiler: The exception is at 5 am when there is only one candle which lasts indefinitely, not that it's of much help.]]* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2:'' Moira's flashlight can be used on a wide beam mode for lighting up dark areas, or a more focused one to [[BlindedByTheLight dazzle enemies]]. [[InfiniteFlashlight It lasts indefinitely]] if used for general area illumination, but when focused, the power has limited duration before she has to stop focusing and let it recharge.* The Plastic Torch in ''VideoGame/TheForest'' lasts for close to ten minutes in real time, but produces a very small cone of not very bright light. You're better off wrapping cloth around a stick [[FlamingSword or any of your axes]] and lighting it up for a torch with a bright and wide radius of light that'll last for two minutes or so (longer if you craft it with booze, presumably soaking the cloth) as long as you don't strike at anything with it. * The flashlight in ''VideoGame/{{LIT}}'' lasts for only a minute or so. Not exactly an issue for the most part, as its only purpose is to let you scope out the room without venturing into [[DarknessEqualsDeath the insta-killer darkness]].* Ripley's headlamp in ''VideoGame/AlienIsolation'' eats rapidly through batteries. Even so, you're likely to be swimming in batteries before long, as hostiles can notice the light it provides , it's only gonna be used sparingly.[[/folder]][[folder:Stealth-Based Game]]* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' features a flashlight attachment for weapons, which Snake will not actually leave on for two seconds[[note]]Those are the basics of "light discipline", to keep enemies from being able to keep a bead on you from your light and to prevent it from ruining your natural night vision, but in a game where natural night vision isn't a thing and you're likely to only actually aim a weapon with a light attached when the bad guys know you're there already, it isn't of much novelty or use[[/note]] and is essentially useful only for temporarily blinding hostiles. ** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'', meanwhile, has a flashlight attached to the USP gained during the Tanker chapter that will last as long as you're aiming it, but which Snake will only actually turn on in three rooms.* In ''VideoGame/EscapeFromButcherBay'', [[Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick Riddick]] is usually equipped with an InfiniteFlashlight mounted on a shotgun. After he falls into the Pit, however, his flashlight's battery is damaged, and he has six minutes to run through a maze of tunnels, fighting off wailing, naked ghouls, while his only source of light gradually dims. When Riddick finally receives his [[SuperSenses eyeshine,]] it's a godsend.[[/folder]][[folder:Non-Video-Game Examples]]* The eighth Nintendo Adventure Book, ''Flown the Koopa'' asks at one point if the player found a flashlight so the Mario Brothers can safely explore a dark basement. Since you're reading about it on this trope's page, you probably don't need to be told about how it dies after a few steps and they get chewed on by a swarm of Mega Moles.* A non-video-game example from ''Film/TheGoonies'': [[AsianAndNerdy Data]] activates his "Bully Blinders" because nobody else brought a flashlight to the cave. While the intense light does indeed blind the rest of the gang for a few moments, it also burns out the batteries just as quickly.* The Ride/AltonTowers theme park in the UK does Halloween themed events, including growing its own cornfield to cut a maze into. Before going into the cornfield each group of participants is given a pair of flashlights, for the front and back of the group, [[EnforcedTrope all of which have been given nearly empty batteries]]. Even knowing that they're only actors and not actually zombies, having your torch die on you while in a cornfield at night, when you can hear the screams of the groups further along is, if not terrifying, [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief extremely immersive]]. It's for that reason that [[NoFairCheating participants are kindly asked not to use any lights of their own]].* Those hand-crank LED flashlights, once their batteries have worn out sufficiently, tend to only last about a minute before needing a recharge. If you crank them fast enough, they will indeed recharge in considerably less time than the light lasts, but it is easier to do so with them off and not pointed in front of you, meaning they function almost exactly like video game flashlights, with the added drawback of being quite noisy and needing both your hands free to recharge them. Why aren't there any video games where you're stuck using one of ''these''?* Flashlight apps available for modern mobile devices like tablets and smartphones use the camera flash LED, and if the device doesn't have one, turn the screen itself bright white. Though [[NotTheIntendedUse such devices are not optimized for providing constant light]], so the battery drain is alarmingly quick.* Most flashlights with variable outputs will have the highest setting draining the battery in an hour or so, sometimes even less than that. The lower settings play InfiniteFlashlight as straight as real life allows.* In regards to the same modern flashlights, they ''can'' actually be ten-second, fast-recharge (whether they turn off entirely or just drop a fraction of the overall output varies from model to model) for one reason: {{overheating}}. However, [[AluminumChristmasTrees good luck finding a single work (not just videogames) that takes that into account or a creator that knows that]].* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Bob makes a big deal out of carrying a flashlight (after having been caught in the dark in an earlier adventure), only for the batteries to die in the middle of a cave full of [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Bigfeet.]] This happens to him [[BreakingTheFourthWall explicitly]] so the [[InteractiveNarrator narrator]] can say, [[VideoGame/{{Zork}} "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."]][[/folder]]----

Frostbite occurs when the skin and body tissue just underneath it freezes. Your skin becomes very cold, then numb, hard and pale. Frostbite typically affects smaller, more exposed areas of your body, such as your fingers, toes, nose, ears, cheeks and chin.
Here are some symptoms of frost bite:
- A slightly painful, prickly or itching sensation
- Red, white, pale or grayish-yellow skin
- Hard or waxy-looking skin
- A cold or burning feeling
- Numbness
- Clumsiness due to joint and muscle stiffness
Blistering, in severe cases

Wisin y Yandel
Puerto Rican duo Wisin y Yandel are without question the most successful reggaeton artists in the history of the genre, outselling all the other heavyweights. Anyone remotely familiar with the genre will recognize their song "Rakata," originally off the Mas Flow II compilation, then later released on their 2006 release, Pa'l Mundo. That, along with "Llame Pa' Verte" ("I Called to See You") off the latter album, solidified them as major players in what many in recent years have dubbed a waning movement.
Funnily enough, since the release of their last two albums, 2007's Los Extraterrestres and this year's La Revolucion, the duo have insisted that their music isn't reggaeton at all but rather pop. Either way, they've continued to dominate the charts with songs like "Sexy Movimiento" and their collaboration with 50 Cent, "Mujeres in the Club." These tracks display a clear evolution from the standard dembow beat so easily recognized (and, frankly, abused) by many reggaeton proponents, instead opting for electronic beats and melodies consistent with those in mainstream pop and hip-hop.
This evolution seems to be suiting the pair's fans just fine. Since its release in May, La Revolucion has dominated Latin sales charts, and Wisin y Yandel's popularity seems more firmly rooted than ever.

Has anyone out there been to the grand reopening of the library basement? I know it's open today for the first time since mid-January, and there are apparently some celebratory-type things associated with it. I can't make it because I'm swamped with the day-job and also because I assume it's pretty much like it was before. Anyone out there have any impressions they want to share?
One thought on "Library Basement Reopening"
Stopped by about 2 p.m. The ground floor is as it was before, pretty much, which is amazing. You should see the before (day of the accident) and after photos, the latter of which reflect the Physical Plant's restoration work. If you stop by before 6 p.m. today, you can play some library trivia.

You may live and work in a city or state far away from where you were born and raised, but where do you call "home."For practical purposes,"home is where the heart is." It's anywhere you feel comfortable, safe and welcome. In most legal matters,your home is often the key to whether or not you can use a state's court system, such as for getting a divorce, for example.
Anyone thinking about divorce needs to know how residency and domicile impact your ability to file for a divorce.
A Few Basics on "Jurisdiction" & "Residence"
Generally, a court has authority to decide someone's legal rights in a lawsuit only if that person has some type of relationship or contact with the state, such as living or working there. This is known as the court having jurisdiction over a person.
A court's power to decide a divorce case (and practically any other case)is usually determined by the residency or domicile of you and/or your spouse. As a general rule, you need to file a divorce action in the state or county where you meet certain residency requirements: You have to have lived, or have been present in, a state for certain time period before you can file for divorce in that state.
You and your spouse don't have to live in the same state or county in order for you to file for divorce. However, in cases like this, the court may be able to grant you a divorce, it may not have the authority to decide other issues, such as property division and child custody, support and visitation.
The Difference between "Domicile" and "Residence"
While most states have some sort of residence and domicile requirement, some states use the term "domicile,"other states use "residence" and still others use both. Depending on the state, the terms may mean different things, too. However, both terms relate to a spouse's presence within a state.
What is "Domicile?"
"Domicile" usually means that you have a fixed, permanent home in that state. Usually, the home must be your only or primary home, too. On top of that, you usually have to have been living in the domicile in that state for a certain period of time before you can file for divorce.
What is "Residence?"
"Resident" typically means that your present in the state, but it also usually requires that you've been present in the state for a certain period of time. In some states, like Alaska, you don't have to be in the state for a certain period of time. Rather,you can file divorce if you're in the state and show the court that you intend to continue living in there.
A person can have more than one residence but only one domicile.
Proof of Time
When, as in most states, there's a time requirement for residency or domicile, the spouse who files for divorce must prove to the court how long the spouse has lived in or has been present in the state. Mortgage documents, land records, utility bills and payroll checks may be used to prove it.
Determining the Location of Your "True Home"
A court may look at the following factors if there is a doubt about the location of a spouse's true home:
- Where the rest of the person's family lives - it's usually assumed that people live with their families
- Where the person voted, or otherwise participated in community activities
- The person's place of employment
- Car registration and driver's license
- Location of bank accounts
- Where the children are schooled
- Where more than one residence is involved, courts may consider the order in which they were acquired (people tend to buy homes before vacation cottages), how they were paid for (second mortgage on "home" to pay for "cabin"), and how they're used (people tend to lend their vacation residences, not homes, to others to use)
Knowing the residency and domicile rules in your state is the key to your divorce. A court won't grant a divorce if you're not a resident of or domiciled in the state where the divorce action was filed. Talk to an attorney if you have any questions about the residency and domiciliary requirements for your divorce.
Questions for Your Attorney
- Where's my domicile or residence if I live in one state for six months and in another state for six months?
- I filed for divorce, but I was just transferred to a new job in a different state. What should I do?
- When does the time start to count for the residency or domicile requirements in my state? From the time I land at the airport, sign a lease on an apartment or some other time?
