Piccolo Sogno Due
Online Reservations
This was our first visit on a very busy Friday night. Great specials. This is not your typical spaghetti and meatballs kind of place but much more authentic and tasteful. Wonderful wine list.
We went here before a comedy show at the Chicago Theater. We were 1 of 2 tables eating dinner at 5:30, the other was also going to the show. Food was excellent, service was great, outdoor seating was pretty good as well despite overlooking a parking lot. They have appetizer portions of pasta which are great for splitting. For two people we had an appetizer, two small pasta portions and a $50 bottle of wine for a total of $116 with 20% tip.
Great food Great service!!! Grilled octopus was delicious !!!
Very interesting place to dine. The menu is fabulous~~~ there are so many choices, it is difficult to decide. Loved the varied ingredients in each dish~~wonderful blend of tastes and textures. Our server, Michael, was extremely helpful in suggesting various choices and he selected the perfect wine. Excellent atmosphere~~elegant but definitely not stuffy.
Four of us went here for an early dinner after theater. It has a great atmosphere, lots of natural lighting, low enough noise level for good conversations and GREAT food. The atmosphere of the dining room is much better than the original Piccolo Sogno, but the outside dining area is not as quaint as the courtyard. Overall a great experience and I look forward to getting back.
This is a really, really good restaurant. The food, the service and the whole atmosphere make this an enjoyable experience. From the appetizers to the entrees, fish and veal, to the dessert, everything was magical. I would highly recommend it.
We had a late lunch so were not extremely hungry. Our waitress, along the manager, suggested we order the appetizer size portions of their pasta dishes. We did, and were completely satisfied, since the portions were about 2/3rd of the full order. We ordered the Tortelli and the Linguini. Both delicious. We will return on our next visit to Chicago.
Our dining experience at Piccolo Songo Due was a delight from the moment we walked in. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately. Our waiter responded immediately with water, bread and presented the evenings specials.we started with proshutto and melon and for the entree, pasta with veal and ravioli. The pasta and veal was excellent but the ravioli was the most memorable ravioli my wife and I have ever experienced, and she is Italian! Get the ravioli! You won't be sorry. The recommended wine was excellent, the cannoli for desert was one of the best ever tasted. If they had 6 stars, Piccolo Songo Due would rate them!
Went here with co-workers and out of town boss. Food was wonderful and will definitely be coming back.
We went to Piccolo Sogno Due for our anniversary. The food was excellent! The service was very good, but she seem to be helping a lot of tables, and there were always a handful of employees just standing around. I don't know why, but it didn't look good to us! When we arrived, they first sat us at a small table in what they call their patio. It is a plastic-covered room, with zero ambiance. The room was very noisy, with a large group of loud women next to us. We asked to be moved inside, and again, we were seated at a small table, but in the dining room. The ambiance was very nice here, if somewhat cramped. I would go back, but probably during the week, as opposed to Friday night.
Our dining experience and service was great even though the restaurant was very busy since it was Chicago Marathon night. They seated us right away, greeted us within 2 minutes of seating, and took our order within 5 minutes. Food was served hot and tasted wonderful. We hope to visit again.
Excellent Italian cuisine in a lovely, restaurant. Attractive, quiet enough for adult conversation, interesting menu and outstanding quality. We really enjoy this place and will return often.
We had a wonderful experience on our night in. Everything was top notch from the service to the food to the attention to detail. We will definitely be back next time we are in town! Thank you!!
Outstanding experience from start to finish! Staff, restaurant and food were all excellent!
The service throughout is impeccable and the food is always delicious. Dependable Excellent choices
Top notch in every respect. Delicious food, inventive menu, attentive service. Our experience couldn't have been better. We'll be back!
Service was amazing and the food was very tasty. All four people in our dining party enjoyed their entrees. Wine list was great. Appropriate portion sizes. Only thing is that the prices for the desserts are a little high for the quantity.
The food was excellent and the drinks were great. I got a cocktail but the rest of my party got wine and they had no complaints. The prawn appetizer was unbelievable. The homemade pasta makes all of those dishes unreal, the gnocchi in particular. The ONLY complaint I might have was it was a little loud, but that could have been because we were in a corner. Overall though, highly recommended and I will be back!
We had dinner at Piccolo Sogno Due - had a great grilled vegetables with prosciutto appetizer. We then shared two main courses - a wonderful autumn ravioli that was delicious, with pumpkin filling and bits of crunchy amaretto cookies in it. We also had the wood-fired monkfish that had a delicious sauce with artichokes and fingerling potatoes. This was topped by a delicious grilled pineapple and coconut gelato dessert - yum! I have brought friends there a number of times and the food and service is always good.
There are plenty of excellent choices in the River North area, but this is one place I often go back to, both for the food and the excellent service.
They don't miss a beat and the food is top notch!!!!!!
Very good food and service. Not as much character as the original. Avoid the outside area because it is very loud.
My husband and I went here because we had a gift card and enjoyed it so much we will definitely be back. We sat on the enclosed patio which was nice, the view wasn't the greatest since part of it is a parking garage, but that's fine! We ordered the prosciutto plate which I think was sliced to order and was delicious. I had the lobster risotto that was a special for the night and was very impressed. My husband at the wild boar ragu and I only managed to get a few bites before he finished it off!
This restaurant is absolutely delectable. I've dined here three times, and it has been delectable every time. I highly recommend it!
We had a wonderful night out sans children, the service was top notch, very attentive! And the food was so great. Highly recommend a night out here!
Wasn't sure if this was going to work. Flight arrival at 8:00,arrive at hotel at 8:50 and dinner at 9:00. Of course it wasn't crowed...Thurs. nite....still even with only 2 to 3 tables the service was great. Food was excellent,and prices are good. Good location,downtown. I have eaten at their other restaurant further out in one of the neighborhoods, and the pasta was to die for. Also great outdoor eating there. Maybe outdoor eating here,not sure but it was night and cold outside. Nice to do 1/2 orders of dishes and then you can taste the different pastas.
We eat here often and it's always great! Best octopus in Chicago, killer Osso Bucco, pasta, fish - everything we've ever had here we have loved. Took another couple this weekend that had never been and they were amazed, couldn't believe they hadn't found it foundit on their own. We also like the other location, a little better ambiance, but we like the menu better at Due better. It's lively but you can still talk to the people you are with and hear them.
This was our first time at Piccolo Sogno Due and they did not disappoint. The food and service was excellent! The restaurant was packed, noise level was just fine. Very cozy spot and we will definitely be coming back and referring to friends.
Was excited to try Due version and loved it. Food was fantastic combination of fall flavors in unexpected uses. Loved the pumpkin ravioli and kale salad. My friend ordered gnocchi and fell in love. Our servers were so on top of things that it became a bit too much hovering but far better than not enough. I'll be back
Have only had lunch at Piccolo and didn't experience the wine list, but the food was excellent. Will definitely go back!
the black spaghetti with seafood was was wonderful.
This second iteration of Piccolo Sogno has a different vibe to it, but the food is equal to the original. Portions are generous, service is efficient and atmosphere conducive to business or personal table talk. Welcome addition to a neighborhood with dozens of first rate restaurants.
This restaurant is as good as the original which means it meets a very high bar. The menu was varied with a dish for every taste, the wine list generous but not overpowering and the service top notch.
We spent an afternoon at the Art Institute and walked over (a 20 minute walk) for an early dinner with family. The restaurant is beautiful, well lit, and the service extraordinary. We had several people with very specific dietary needs, and the waiter was very good about asking, explaining preparation, making sure that everything was considered. The antipasto of roasted vegetables was lovely, salads were interesting. The branzini, which 3 of us had, had a lovely sauce. The ahi tuna was done perfectly. Desserts were beautiful. We will be going back.
I found this restaurant by chance and visited for a special occasion hoping it would be all that I thought from reading on their website. My party of 12 was not disappointed. We loved the place. I went back on Sunday night with a small group of three and once again the magic continues - great food, service and ambience. I loved being there on a Sunday night. It wasn't as busy and enjoyed a leisurely dinner with the "locals." Carolina D.
This restaurant was across the street from our hotel so we checked ratings on Open Table and decided to give it a try. We're very glad we did. We were warmly greeted as we walked in the door and were shown immediately to our table. The staff was excellent from start to finish. Our waiter was engaging and friendly. The food was excellent. We split the Cavolo salad. This simple salad of kale, fennel and a parmesan dressing was one of the best salads I've had in awhile. Great textures and taste. We split 2 pasta dishes; the lasagnette and the pappardelle with wild boar ragu, and both were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and we can't say enough about the staff. All of them were great!
The food was spectacular and the service was exceptional. Had a business lunch that moved along at our pace and will return with my wife soon for a memorable dinner. You can't go wrong with the paninis, pizza, or pasta.
Other than waiting for our table almost a half hour while standing in entry....enjoyed dining here!
The second of the Piccolo Sogno restaurants is every bit as good as the first. Food was outstanding, and the service friendly and efficient. During the summer months the outside dining of the original can't be beat, but "Due" is a terrific choice if you are downtown or in River North. We look forward to returning.
The food was very good, the ambiance was excellent for our birthday celebration, the wait time for our entree's seemed quite long. Would definitely return for another dinner. We ate several of the daily specials, and they were excellent.
if you are visiting Chicago and would like some Italian, this is a great find as the food was excellent. Noise level was rather high considering it was not full on a Wednesday night, and I think the service was not on par with the food. if you want a quiet place to talk this may not be it.
Different menu than the original but the service shines. Food is exceptional.
I thought the first Piccolo Sogno couldn't be duplicated, but Piccolo Sogno Due does. The ambience, the food and the service are just fabulous!! it is a perfect place for lunch alone, with friends or for business, and the outdoor space is fantastic. I highly recommend this to everyone!
They know what they are doing. Excellent in every way!
Excellent pasta dishes and good seafood. Very good service.
The black spaghetti was so delicious. We are definitely going back for more. The service was outstanding.
Excellent food and service!!! The table we were seated at had a fabulous view of the Christmas lights across the streeet. Had a wonderful time!
It's not the most expensive place we went to in Chicago, but great food and good value for money! Great staff, no shirkers here, it's worth it just to see them move! We will return
We were in Chicago on business and this was recommended by an Italian friend of mine. We look out for each other that way. Great food, great staff, and a very nice ambience to dine in. We went there for lunch, and came away very happy.
We arrived and our reservation was on time. we had a nice table by the window. The service was attentive, but not rushing, and the meals were excellent. The daily special risotto (shrimp) was great. the broth had a great flavor and the portion was ample. The chestnut pasta with veal ragu was the hit of the table. We stared with mushroom pizza split for 4 as a starter was served pre-portioned, which was very nice. The pizza was the least impressive item of the night. We felt it needed more flavor. The next time we will try something else, because we will return to other options on the menu that looked good.

I've been a big Brian Lumley fan ever since the first Necroscope novel was recommended to me back in the early 90s. I also used to visit this site long ago when it was first getting started (before there were message boards). Let's see, I've got everything he's published and have worn through no fewer then three paperback copies of The Necroscope.
I came here today because I went to the bookstore last night for some new reading material. I'm having surgery on Thursday and wanted something new to read while I'm off work next week recovering. I was pretty suprised that Mr Lumley had a recent novel out (The Touch) so I picked it up in hardcover. I'll probably start reading it this weekend if I'm up to much of anything.
As an aside, I just started reading Bram Stoker's Dracula the other day. I've never read it but the first few chapters just seemed so familiar.

Ouch, had to look that one up.
The wife kind of looked at the cover a little strangely. I mean, she knows I read horror but I don't think she's ever really paid attention to a BLumley cover. I must say that he's consistantly had the best artwork of any author I regularly read.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the well-wishes. I had my surgery and am home recovering. The surgery I had is called a UPPP. I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea about a year and a half ago. With OSA your throat collapes during the night, cutting off your breathing. With me this happened on average of every two to three minutes in the sleep lab. The first fix is to make you sleep with a CPAP which is basically an air-compressor with a facemask. I roll over constantly at night so could not get used to sleeping with the mask and even hung myself a few times with the hose.
With a UPPP they remove your ulva (the dangely thing in the back of your throat) and part (in my case most) of your soft pallet.
I also had a Septoplasty to fix a deviated septum.
Right now I'm on a pretty much liquid diet and taking Codeine every few hours.
So, now I'm home and will start reading The Touch.
October 29th, 2006, 09:33 AM #10
Glad your on the mend, sounds like you'll be living on ice-cream for a few weeks till your throat is better.
Enjoy The Touch

Right now it's been smoothies, pudding, and mashed potatoes. My wife's boss has told her that she's having a bunch of ice cream delivered from "the best ice cream company in the country". I'm definately waiting for that to show up.
Same boss gave my wife a $650 gift certificate towards a family portrait at an exclusive photographer in the area a few months ago so I know this will be goooood ice cream.
October 29th, 2006, 05:23 PM #12
Sounds like a good boss!
I'm glad to hear all went well, take it easy now mate and enjoy the ice creamWhere's the Derby Dumpling?!
October 30th, 2006, 10:23 AM #13
Sounds like pretty painful surgery to me! Hope you enjoy your ice cream and recuperate quickly!!!
All the best

Printing press around the world running at full speed with no -- and stopping anytime soon they seem like they're all doing that some say all this money burning is manipulating the currency markets are we on the brink of a currency war.
Talk about what that means joining us.
Now -- James were cards -- is tangent capital partners senior managing director.
And Michael Wolf -- he is Bank of New York Mellon's senior currency strategist gentlemen great to see you both James first you.
Let's pull back and -- before we look at specific currencies to gold is is there any currency these days they can hold value as well as gold camp.
Sure there are few would say the Australian dollar Canadian dollar Singapore dollar and Euro.
-- -- be the strongest currency start for the reason is they're not as good as gold though -- gold will be the best over time is a question about that because even the western reserve -- servicer Australia's a very strong currency.
Because there's a lot of inflows and small capital market but -- today.
Reserve bank restore -- cutting rates so -- gonna go down somewhat against gold but on a relative basis some of these currencies and do better than others obviously.
Michael -- the US dollar and how that's.
Well we're gonna see I -- a year of -- has for the US dollar the first half of the year would see continued dollar weakness.
-- have a year receive -- -- gained some ground.
Against the Euro certainly against the yen.
Well Michael what thing that scares a lot of people there's -- term call beggar thy neighbor we saw that happen at different times during her history in the twentieth century where.
One country tries to make its goods its export goods cheaper by devaluing their currency and that its neighbor will try to do the same -- LP a war back and forth.
-- eventually can lead to trade wars is there any danger that that -- happen this time.
Well I don't think that there is a danger of -- of an outbreak of a of a trade war but certainly an expansion of the current currency tensions.
The so called currency war I think will continue.
Beyond what we've seen in 2012.
It's an old saw in foreign exchange in and that is you cannot devalue your way to prosperity.
And so.
I think in terms devaluations you see.
A move back from the expansion of flexible exchange rates we've seen over the last twenty years in 2012.
I see that continuing.
In 2013.
Minded governments taking control of of their foreign exchange policy.
For their own self interest but no I I don't see this is say.
A long term shift towards.
Currency management towards six exchange rates.
-- -- have a question for you -- the Japanese yen.
Fit into all of this continues all the time because of the Bank of Japan and everything they're doing -- ease monetary policy stimulate the economy.
What are your thoughts on the end.
It's a great question Lauren had the Japanese yen is an exception to almost everything.
Also said the US US policies achieved in the dollar against all -- -- major trading partners so Taiwan Korea China.
Europe and the rest Japan is an exception for couple reasons number one they actually need the help they suffer more from Fukushima.
The earthquake and tsunami in the -- and people realize that they need some help number two they have nothing has gone for the more -- demographics are dead GGP -- center.
But the other reasons they've now become the buyer of last resort of treasuries you know that used to be China's job but -- reducing its.
Net purchasing treasuries and actually she knows Japan is increase in -- so.
The Fed's kind of cutting Japan race -- -- what you achieved against the dollars and as you buy our treasuries were for everyone else.
-- -- -- -- Martha said you know you can't evaluate to prosperity I agree with that that doesn't mean that people won't try they sort of forget the lessons of history and they're trying as hard as they can well Jim.
What it was let's go closer to home what about the Euro.
A lot of people a year ago saying the Euro was ready for -- big devaluation but it seems to be holding its own right now now.
Yet they question comes as no surprise have a -- well over a year that -- -- stronger and stronger are continuing that nobody is leaving the Euro nobody is getting kicked out to actually have some members overtime.
The couple reasons for a number one US is out to -- the dollar these its neighbor across rates is to currencies.
Cannot -- been against each other the same time so we're gonna have achieved our you're gonna have a stronger your bureau that's the easy part.
But the other part is Chinese capital is dying to -- Europe because China wants to get out of dollars dollar buying gold distress they can we know that.
Doesn't wanna invest in -- -- they wanted to see the Europeans get their act together well guess what.
Europeans do have their act together now the Chinese capital's -- to -- that's and other support for the year.
-- -- -- saying that Europe is doing everything right.
Here's the only group is doing everything right -- Why is Angela -- -- on the -- understands economics positions non economist she's a physicist sure she understands how these systems work.
But -- Europe is is Europe has got a lot of -- -- so called austerity right now the direction making the structural adjustment they need.
US and China are in denial about their structural adjustment so -- The little while later and although although -- -- a lot of -- -- say you know raising taxes is not the way to balance your books and of course Spain seems to be proof of that because they -- or value added tax a lot.
And they're still not growing at all.
Just I just wonder if you pull back to the old.
That it next to gold I think the safest currency in the world is the Swiss franc is that still -- -- No it's not still buying necessarily mean at what we've seen the last several weeks has been a rally in the euros Swiss cross and he has surprised a lot of people.
Buy -- as the dollar and the the yen.
Have weakened.
So has the Swiss franc although and of the delayed basis that there there's been in the foreign exchange market.
Billy selloff in the safe haven currencies as we've seen the January effect really -- a tail wind here much like what we saw last year.
While if there's no safety and a Swiss franc where is safety thank you gentlemen good to see you both change your cards and Michael Wolf folk.

For the last three weeks, two films with female protagonists ("The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "Frozen") have been at the top of the box…
You have to hand it to "Pitch Perfect." It's a twentysomething song-and-dance movie built around rival a cappella groups. That's more exciting than dueling string quartets, I suppose — but no, the quartets would be performing better material. In the world of this film's Barden College, a cappella seems to rank above football in extracurricular activities, and as nearly as I recall, the only character ever seen in a classroom is Beca's father, the teacher.
He teaches philosophy and despairs of his daughter Beca (Anna Kendrick), who dreams of moving to L.A. and making it in show business. He makes a deal: She sticks out college for one year, and then she can go to L.A. if she still wants to. Oh, and she must join at least one afterschool activity.
This is some school. On Activity Day, a male a cappella group poses carefully on the campus and bursts periodically into song. There is also a female group, the Bellas, although they're under a cloud after their lead singer suffered an unfortunate attack of vomiting in the national finals. And not just ordinary vomiting, but Movie Projectile Vomiting, which in its velocity and gallons of content resembles an attack by an alien.
Beca is recruited into the Bellas by its star, Chloe (Brittany Snow), while they are both naked in a shower, which makes this more intriguing than your average a cappella recruitment. Well, at least it's an afterschool activity. Soon she finds herself up against Aubrey (Anna Camp), the group leader who has rigid opinions about their performances.
Another new recruit is Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), who explains she calls herself that because she knows that's what people call her behind her back. Rebel (her real name) plays a character so ebullient, unstoppable and raucous that she steals every scene she's in and passes the Character Name Test. This refers to our ability to remember the names of a movie character for more than 10 minutes after the movie has ended. Fat Amy, I will remember. Can you, even at this point in the review, recall who Chloe is?
The plot interlinks the Bellas' progress toward the national finals in New York City's Lincoln Center with a sorta romance between Beca and Jesse (Skylar Astin), a DJ for the campus radio station; much in their relationship depends on his belief that "The Breakfast Club" has the greatest single final scene in the history of the cinema. Beca doesn't share his enthusiasm for the John Hughes movie, even though she's in a movie that would dearly love to be by Hughes, who would find more fraught material than Beca's kitchen table conversations with her dad about why he divorced her mom — a plot thread that leads nowhere.
Strange supporting roles are played by John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks, as a team of commentators who function somewhere between play-by-play announcers and the judges on "American Idol." The Higgins performance owes more than a little to Fred Willard's unforgettable dog show commentary in "Best in Show," but it was clear that Willard was part of a telecast. The Higgins and Banks characters look like they're sitting behind a desk in the audience and just ... what? Broadcasting? Talking out loud?
Another inexplicable character is Lilly (Hana Mae Lee), a shy Asian girl who cannot sing or even speak loudly enough for anyone to hear her. How did she survive her audition?
Still, Anna Kendrick is adorable, a young version of the angelic Marisa Tomei. And it must be said that the Bellas are a first-rate group, with choreography so crisp that Bob Fosse couldn't have drilled them to move more precisely. You may be reminded of a Broadway musical. Certainly the choreography is way over the top of other championship a cappella teams on You Tube. And if I mistake not, the soundtrack sneaks in some percussion and other stray sounds that might get the Bellas outlawed in a real a cappella competition.

Arrupe International Immersion Program
Welcome to the Arrupe International Immersion Program web page!
The Arrupe International Immersion Program empowers participating undergrad students, primarily through undergrad student leaders and mentors, to build intentional faith-sharing communities. Together with their mentors, students learn about the complex reality, from a historical, social, economic, political and religious perspective, of people from another country who struggle in poverty. The program is named for Fr. Pedro Arrupe, a past Superior General of the Society of Jesus. Fr. Arrupe believed that living the gospel requires effective solidarity with a suffering world. He was a pioneer in urging the combination of pastoral concern, biblical reflection and social analysis.

Recently I attended a female-only cocktail competition hosted by Nirvino. While I've been to many cocktail competitions, I always look forward to Nirvino's monthly contest because the crowd gets to taste each cocktail and ultimately decides the winning drink. Nirvino is an exciting social networking community where drinking is the common denominator. You can rate drinks, bars, bartenders, wine, beer, and different kinds of liquor.
Its a fun concept that makes for an interesting event. After tasting each cocktail everyone gets on their iPhones or Blackberrys to rate the drink. This competition featured Square One Cucumber vodka and the winning bartender was Brooke Arthur from Range restaurant in San Francisco.
Her Fall Fizz delightfully combined the fresh flavors of cucumber, apple, and pear. Lemon juice adds an acidic balance and a dusting of cinnamon gives this drink a holiday feel. Like the gin fizz, it includes egg whites. I can't promise you won't get salmonella, but your drink will be deliciously frothy!

SkillsActive Wales has agreed a mutual programme of work with Sport Wales which will enable the delivery of an extensive programme over the coming year. SkillsActive Wales is also happy to have secured funding from the Welsh Government Sector Priorities Fund Pilot (SPFP) to develop innovative learning and teaching materials for the level 3 Playwork Principles into Practice (P3) qualification.
The investment from Sport Wales will have a positive impact on the delivery of the SkillsActive Wales Business Plan 2012-13 and will ensure the full involvement of Welsh employers across the Active Leisure, Learning and Well-being sector.
The Sport Wales funding will go towards a number of initiatives which SkillsActive Wales has already begun to implement. These include:
• The production of an Annual State of the Industry Report for Wales, exploring sector specific gaps and shortages
• The development of a Single Qualification Framework, produced and agreed with key stakeholders in Wales
• An increase in REPs Wales members from 1000 to 1100, plus a 10% increase in the number of Welsh employers registering with REPs and a 5% increase in the number of instructors holding a level 3 qualification
• Promoting the importance of Active Passports across the sector.
In relation to the Sport Wales investment, SkillsActive Manager Richard Tobutt commented:
"SkillsActive Wales has maintained a healthy working relationship with Sport Wales for around 10 years. The activities agreed as part of this programme will positively impact on both the Sport Wales Vision for Sport, and particularly the 'skilled and passionate workforce strand', and the strategic context outlined in the Welsh Government 'Creating an Active Wales' document."
The Welsh Government Sector Priorities Fund Pilot also secured by SkillsActive Wales will massively assist playwork training delivery across Wales, by ensuring that the workforce is adequately skilled, trained and possesses the correct resources.
The project aims to develop and finalise bilingual learning and teaching materials for the recently developed Level 3 qualification entitled 'Playwork Principles into Practice' (P3).
The funding will allow SkillsActive Wales to lead the development of a full suite of resources for the Award, Certificate and Diploma which will promote high quality learning. Trainers currently delivering level 2 Playwork qualifications will also be upskilled, allowing them to progress the wide scale delivery of level 3 across Wales.
Concerning playwork funding, SkillsActive Technical Manager, Home Countries, Debbie Willets comments:
"The Children and Families (Wales) Measure places a duty on each local authority to provide sufficient play opportunities for children and young people and will increase the demand for qualifications within the playwork sector. Therefore, this project will have a positive impact on this strategic development and will go some of the way to address the skills shortages that exist across Wales."
Playwork qualification delivery is in its infancy in Wales, therefore the production of these resources will have a positive impact on the development of the playwork infrastructure. Ultimately, learners will benefit from these developments and will be able to further develop their playwork skills.
The investments will bring a whole range of benefits to the sport, fitness and playwork sectors in Wales, benefitting both the workforce and the general public.
Highlights include:
Paul worked as a playworker before moving into a development role, supporting and encouraging others to provide opportunities to play.
Following this, he took up his role with SkillsActive, leading the Playwork team in the development of workforce strategy, occupational standards and qualifications.
While at SkillsActive he continued his involvement in the delivery of play services through an active involvement in the management of an adventure playground, never losing touch with the children and young people who benefit from play provision.
The Award is being presented at the 10th Annual Playwork Conference in Eastbourne on 6- 7 March 2012.
SkillsActive will also be at the event, offering workshops on the new level 4 and 5 playwork qualifications at the event and explaining the fascinating world of SIC and SOC codes!
To nominate someone for this special award, please visit http://www.playworkconferences.org.uk/Awards.html
Nominations close Friday 10 February 2012.
Shiremoor adventure playground in North Tyneside provides five to 13 year olds with opportunities for adventurous play in a staffed, safe environment.
Manager Keeks McGarry says during the peak summer season, up to 300 children can use the facility on a single day: "Having a high ratio of staff to children is key to providing quality playwork service."
Motivated by the need for more staff, Keeks recruited four apprentices to join his team of three fulltime workers in August 2011. One of those is Natasha Killeen, 17, who is completing her level 2 Apprenticeship in Playwork.
Natsaha says: "I'd always wanted to work with children. An Apprenticeship allowed me to gain paid experience in the field and recognised qualifications to kick start my career.
An average day for Natasha involves setting up the facility and engaging children in activities such as drawing or football, as well as additional duties such as cleaning. On Thursdays and Fridays she attends Tyne Metropolitan College to gain the knowledge component of her apprenticeship.
"It's a really challenging role because you have to adapt your methods depending on whether you're working with a five year old or a 13 year old," she says.
Keeks says Apprenticeships help professionalise the sector, and promote playwork as a viable career option.
"Apprenticeships provide a clear entry point for people looking for a career in playwork. We now have several students on work placement wanting to start their career in playwork with an Apprenticeship."

SkillsActive Wales has secured about £235,000 of Government funding from the Sector Priority Fund Pilot to develop qualifications at Award, Certificate and Diploma levels for Playwork Principles into Practice. Play Wales and the SQA have been appointed to lead the delivery of the project.
SkillsActive Wales manager Richard Tobutt says: "The Playwork sector is already facing a significant skills shortage in Wales. This will be compounded by laws introduced in 2012 requiring each local authority to provide sufficient play opportunities for children and young people.
"We are really pleased that our bid for this funding has been successful and that playworkers will now have the opportunity to access these higher level qualifications."
The new qualifications will be placed on the QCF at Level 3 and are intended for playworkers and childcare staff wanting to progress from the existing suite of P3 qualifications at Level 2.
SkillsActive, the sector skills council for active leisure, learning and well-being, has secured £230,000 of Government funding from the Growth and Innovation Fund, which is jointly administered by The Department for Business Innovation and Skills, the Skills Funding Agency and the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES).
The Fund matches employer funding with Government funding to help meet skills gaps in economically important sectors. The Joint Investment Programme in Playwork focuses on the skills gaps identified to SkillsActive by playwork employers.
Lesli Godfrey, Strategic Lead for Playwork at SkillsActive, says: "We are really pleased that our bid for this funding has been successful and that employers will now have this opportunity to access a Playwork qualification for their staff from an early years background."
Playworkers provide spaces and resources for children and young people to come together and play in their free time, at out of school clubs, adventure playgrounds, parks and community centres across the country. The subsidised qualification equips staff who have gained early years qualifications with the principles, knowledge and understanding of Playwork that they need in order to facilitate play opportunities for children and young people.
SkillsActive is looking for playworkers in England to take advantage of the offer of 50pc matched funding towards the Level 3 Award in Transition to Playwork (from early years).
SkillsActive is now working with City College Norwich and a network of partner training providers to deliver the programme across all counties of England. It is intended that the programme will be completed by the end of July 2013.
To be eligible for funding, learners must hold a full level 3 early years qualification, based on the children's care learning and development or early years and education standards. This does not include the new level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young People's Workforce at present. Employers will need to pledge at least 50pc of the cost of the qualification i.e. £229 to enable this to be matched by Government.
All learners will also receive their own SkillsActive activepassport, an on-line tool to record their qualifications, training and experience.
Dick Palmer, Principal, City College Norwich, says: "We are delighted to be working with SkillsActive and partners to deliver the Level 3 Award in Transition to Playwork nationwide which will help extend the opportunities available to those already trained in early years."
Details of the training available and the process by which both employers and playworkers can register their interest can be found at http://www.ccn.ac.uk/form/playworktransition
SkillsActive in Northern Ireland recently completed consultation on proposals for 'Minimum Standards for Daycare and Childminding for Children under 12' with Playwork partner PlayBoard NI and eight key Playwork employers in Northern Ireland.
SkillsActive's Northern Ireland Manager Siobhan Weir says the consultation produced three positive outcomes:

Product 1391/2396
Of Elven Blood by Leslie Fish paranormal erotic romance length: Long novel (150,000 words/378 pages) Cover Art by Valerie Tibbs Release Date: 09/20/2012
Roxanne Defarge has three strikes against her; she's an unsuccessful painter, miserably unlucky in love, and is carrying psychological scars of a childhood spent in a wretchedly dysfunctional family. She has given up on love, and on any hope of selling her paintings, but at least she's found a job she likes – working as a newspaper editor for a union in Chicago.
But then Roxanne witnesses a murder in the newspaper's office, and she's sent to Arizona for her own protection. Now she must start again, and chooses to do so at Treemark Arabian Farms, working with horses.
But who can protect her from Brian Treemark, the mysterious ranch owner who reveals that he and Roxanne are members of a mysterious, ancient race—and they're in more danger than Roxanne ever could find on the streets of Chicago? She's going to have to learn fast, because she has an immensely extended lifespan, very rapid healing ability, and vast but untrained psychic talent.
In brief, she is now an Elf and must learn to live as one.
Thrust into the middle of an Elven battle, and still needing protection from those in Chicago who'd rather see her dead, Roxanne finds herself in even more danger than she ever could have imagined. Only the training she receives at Brian's hands can protect her life. Her heart is another matter, and it will take all the skills she possesses to keep it safe from the one who told her she was of elven blood. Excerpt The contract Treemark handed her, back in the welcoming little office, was straightforward enough. It left the job-title blank, but he filled it in with 'general stable-work'. There was a paragraph guaranteeing 'complete medical and dental treatment' which made Lorraine smile at its simplicity; as written, it would take care of her even if she suffered serious injury or disease. Right after that, not surprisingly, was a clause requiring a 'health examination' for employment. There was another paragraph promising 'room and board' that even specified the room and 'fully balanced meals'.
"It looks too good to be true," she commented. There has to be a catch in it somewhere.
"The wages aren't," he smiled. "I pay rock-bottom minimum wage. Of course, you don't have to spend any of it on rent, food or utilities."
Lorraine chuckled, seeing what this meant. Hard work, minimum wage, and company housing – but still, I could do a lot worse. She couldn't help adding: "Is there a company store, too?"
Treemark looked blank for a moment, then caught the reference and burst out laughing. His laughter was like deep bells ringing. "Oh no," he whooped. "You'll have to go into town for everything else. So, will you be my wage-slave?"
It was Lorraine's turn to laugh as she recognized the old union term. "Yes," she grinned. "It sure beats working for a trade-paper."
He handed her a pen, and she signed.
"That's it, then." He took the contract and stood. "I'll show you out to your car.
Please try to get here as soon as possible tomorrow. I'd like to get the medical examination done early."
"You'll do the exam?" Ah, with a bit of groping on the side, perhaps?
Treemark shrugged. "Or my colleague will. Up to you. But I don't think it will matter; you're obviously sound of wind and limb."
Horseman's term. 'Colleague'? "You run a clinic out of your house?"
"It saves on rent, and it's useful if there are any accidents at the stable."
Treemark pointed to the door in the back wall. "Our examination room is right through there."
Lorraine shrugged. Again, this made sense. "I'll be here bright and early tomorrow," she promised.
With no further word Treemark led her out through the living room, into a tiled and paneled entryway, to the front door. Lorraine noted the spy-hole and discreet but impressive locks on the door; the man wasn't a fool about security, either. She stepped out into the blistering heat, hearing the door close softly behind her, and went down the flagstone walk to the driveway.
I've got the job, she marveled again. I've got the perfect job!
She couldn't help skipping down the flagstones to her car.
~* * *~
Behind the door, Treemark watched through the spy-hole and smiled as he saw Lorraine skipping like a little girl down the flagstone walk. He'd won the first round, drawn her in. Barring some unforeseen catastrophe, she'd be back in the morning. There were still several vital steps to go, and he'd have to persuade her to stay and accept them, but yes, she would return.
He turned around and leaned his back against the door, feeling a vast satisfaction and a monumental fatigue. This first round had been hard-fought, and hard-won. He'd never met any Uninitiated – and very few mortals – who were so wary, so subtly defensive, and yet so fearless. Where had she learned that, and how? He would have to discover it, delicately pry the knowledge from her, lay bare the scars and try to heal them, uncover her true potential and train it to its full glory.
Like taming a wild mare, he thought. She had entered his land like a splendid wild horse come in from the desert, unconsciously showing her natural beauty and the magnificence of her paces, yet watchful and cautious, ready to fly at the slightest sign of danger. He knew nothing of her but what he'd read from her speech, body-language and dim aura, yet that little was a gift from the fates – almost as if the balance of the universe had shifted in his favor, in the direction of his kind, for once in all these centuries.
He would take every precaution, use all of his skill, even call upon the aid of his best allies – but he would not waste the gift.
And for now he had to return to his guests, his patients, and his other work.

Pycnodysostosis (cont.)Medical Reviewer:
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACRDr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. In this Article
What are the characteristics of pycnodysostosis?Pycnodysostosis causes abnormalities other than short stature, dense brittle bones, short fingers, and the wide open soft spot of the skull (see above). These other abnormalities involve the head and face, teeth, collar bones, skin, and nails. The front and back of the head are prominent. Within the open sutures of the skull, there may be many small bones (called wormian bones). The midface is less full than usual. The nose is prominent. The jaw can be small. The palate is narrow and grooved. The baby teeth are late coming in and may be lost much later than usual. The permanent teeth can also be slow to appear. The permanent teeth are commonly irregular and teeth may be missing (hypodontia). The collar bones are often underdeveloped and malformed. The skin over the back of the fingers is very wrinkled. The nails are flat and grooved. Pycnodysostosis also causes problems that may become evident with time. Aside from the broken bones, the last bones of the fingers (the distal phalanges) and the collar bone can undergo slow progressive deterioration. Vertebral defects may permit the spine to curve laterally (resulting in scoliosis). The tooth problems often require orthodontic care and dental cavities are common. How is pycnodysostosis inherited?Pycnodysostosis is an autosomal recessive condition. It is autosomal in that the gene for pycnodysostosis is situated on one of the non- sex chromosomes (autosomes). Pycnodysostosis is recessive in that a single edition of the pycnodysostosis gene is not enough to cause the disease. Two copies of the abnormal gene (one from each parent) must be present for the disease to develop. The presence of a normal gene from one or both parents prevents the disease. |

Celebrating its 50th birthday, the Miami Beach Botanical Garden welcomes visitors across from the bustling Miami Convention Center. Standing at the open metal gates, it's easy to get a sense of what these 2 ½ acres have to offer.
"This isn't just a park. It's a treasure," says Benoit Jonckheere, who has been horticulturist at the garden for six years.
Here at the entry, take time to look up to the canopy of pink flowers on the towering silk floss tree high above your head. Now look into the garden, where there's an open sight line to a pond in the middle of a spreading lawn.
Keep looking and you'll see the far reaches of the garden and a weeping fig with buttressing roots and an oversized sea grape backing up to the historic Collins Canal.
Although the park feels open, there are plenty of twists and curves where you'll discover the natural beauty this garden has to offer.
First developed as a golf course, the land was designated a city park with gardens in 1962. By the 1980s, it had fallen into disrepair. In 1992, when Hurricane Andrew blew through, the park suffered even further decline.
But in 2011, it underwent a $1.2 million renovation by renowned landscape architect Raymond Jungles. Since then there have been investigations into shady contracting deals involving the garden, but the questionable deals don't affect what you'll experience if you visit this park with its grand mix of natives and exotic species.
Follow the ribbon of walkway running from the gate and you'll pass a kapok tree. It may be small today but Jonckheere looks forward to the time its buttress roots reach eight feet high and it towers up to 80 feet above the park.
Keep walking and you'll discover the path was carefully laid out so you'll encounter the ylang ylang tree. It was in this very spot even before the redesign. It's had time to grow so that its graceful limbs sweep down to the ground.
One passerby stopped in her tracks to determine the origin of the heady fragrance in the air. She quickly realized it was wafting from the tree's yellow flowers, which are used to make Chanel No. 5.
As you walk further, you come to a wetland area in the corner of the main pond. Here, spiral rushes with their whimsical curlicue stems stand sentry around the roots of a red mangrove tree. The pond also is home to purple water lilies.
The water feature was added to remind us how Miami is surrounded by water, says Howard Goldman, a volunteer who leads park tours.
The silvery leaves and purple flowers of autumn sage and the bright blue petals of salvia flowers thriving at the water's edge add more color. The plants attract not only us but butterflies, bees and birds.
Nearby is a limestone block fountain originally designed by Morris Lapidus, who also brought Miami Beach the Eden Roc and the Fontainebleau hotels. It was updated in the redesign so that its water pours from the top instead of shooting up from jets at the bottom.
Sit here in the shade of palms with your feet resting on a soft tuft of dwarf mondo grass. It's as cute as it is small. Close your eyes and listen to the fountain's gently falling water. Now look out over the purple haze of waving muhly grass and beyond to the sweeping zoyzia grass lawn.
It's hard to believe you are mere steps from Lincoln Road.

Dishonored is an immersive first-person action game that casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge. Creatively eliminate your targets with the flexible combat system as you combine the numerous supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets at your disposal. Pursue your enemies under the cover of darkness or ruthlessly attack them head on with weapons drawn. Regardless of your actions, the outcome of each mission plays out based on the choices you make. Set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where strange technology and otherworldly mysticism coexist in the shadows. You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. In a time of uncertainty, when the city is being besieged by plague and ruled by an oppressive government armed with neo-industrial technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon you abilities beyond those of any common man - but at what cost? The truth behind your betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life you once had is gone forever.

Enjoyable gamePros: I find this game to be very interesting and I like the way the game is written. You can play the game in high chaos where you kill everything that moves or try and not kill anyone or anything in between. How you choose to play affects game play as well as the ending. Another Pro is that the developers have released a couple of extra content packs and are not over charging for them and have them priced at 10 dollars. Cons: The main game is rather short and could have been longer. I would have been very upset had I bought the game when it first came out and paid 59.99 for it but I bought mine here on Newegg back in April when it was on sale for 19.99. So for 20 bucks the game is okay. Another thing that may be a con for some is it requires you to install and run Steam in order to play. For me this was not an issue as I already had 150 different games in my Steam library already. Other Thoughts: You might like to know that I am an older gamer, recently turned 60. I became an avid gamer when I was forced to go on an early retirement due to medical issues. I suppose that my attitude towards games is affected by my age. I hate publishers, like EA and Ubsoft who in my opinion are only out to shaft their customers by way over hyping their games and pricing them way too high. I personally have a boycott against these two companies for this reason as well as their increasing use of draconian DRM that does nothing to curb piracy but does nothing but upset their customers. I will not ever purchase anything that either of these companies produce! And I do not care if it winds up being rated the best game of the year. I have pretty much given up on PC gaming, I do not plan on buying anything new and especially do not plan on upgrading my video cards just to be able to play the newer titles on high settings. I was considering buying one of the new Nvidia GeForce 770's that sell around 333 here on Newegg or a 780 for twice that price but instead have decided to shift my gaming to a new PS4 when it arrives around November 15. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
One of if not the best game I have ever playedPros: Great graphics, the game flows very well, easy to get used to everything in the game that lets you use abilities. The Story line is excellent and draws in into the complexities of each character. There are now 2 expansion packs with more to come. Cons: It came to an end Other Thoughts: I have severe ADD/ADHD and I normally bop from game to game never able to finish a game before going to others, but with this game I was able to sit down and concentrate on this one game and play it all the way through. That does not happen often with me. Did you find this review helpful? |
Decent GamePros: The only time I order from Newegg is when they send out those promotions where they take ~15% off pre-orders and I see a game that I am absolutely interested in. Dishonored came in just a few days I got it for around ~$45. Cons: The only con I had in this game is the atmosphere. Most of the time it's really dark and gray. There are a couple of levels where the design team really showed their true colors. But, I suppose dark and gray is a fit setting for a plague infested city. Other Thoughts: New egg comes thorugh with their promotional offers yet again. Did you find this review helpful? |
Truly FunPros: Challenging without having to remember 100's of things Cons: Models not great. Other Thoughts: This is a fun game. The Unreal engine looks good enough. The developers decision against graphics that are bleeding, cutting was a good idea. Very few people have the Supa Dupa Ultra Deluxo graphics card to play demanding games which so many companies think to be an essential part of their offerings. It seems to me the developer decided against that in favor of game play development and it is a great idea. I have a 6870 and the card didn't even sweat playing this game at max. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
cool gamePros: Not a bad game for 29.99 Cons: None 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very EnjoyablePros: Great game. can play with a variety of difficulty settings. If you love a game that you can sneak around and hide and plot then you should like this game. Has a touch of creapiness as in Bioshock. Missions let you highlight the objective or hide it to make it very difficult if you want. There are basically autosave checkpoints but you can save anywhere you want which I like Cons: Kind of short (maybe 15 hrs)unless you investigate everything and try to find all the bonus stuff(runes, coins, etc.) Other Thoughts: If you like skyrim with the bow and arrow and sneaking around and sniping then you should enjoy this like I do. You will want to replay more than once. Many different ways to complete missions. Semi-open world within each mission 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Same engine as Skyrim, it seems. Very fun and sandbox-like Cons: Installation with Steam takes a while longer than a regular install would 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Wonderfull gamePros: Fun, very hard is just that, can play with different styles through the game, progressive upgrades to skills, can be creative in killing. I got it half off so it is 10 stars really, shrugs. Cons: Cant make a good cup of tea to save its life! Other Thoughts: Get it if you want a fun challenging game, don't get it if you want some tea this game sucks at making tea.... 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great gamePros: Supernatural powers is quite fun, especially in a first-person game Cons: Short campaign Other Thoughts: Anyways, besides the short campaign there are no real cons, and there is an incredible replay value, so thats not even worth taking an egg off for 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
UPS Shipping letdownPros: None. UPS has been derelict of their duties, and have acted with malice. Did not ship package as promised. Driver even lied to UPS center stating he left package. Now I have to wait until Tuesday. Cons: Has not arrived. UPS is the worst shipper ever. Already called and complaint to BBS. 1 out of 35 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
No one in Georgetown can remember his full name, and so he is known only as Mr. Abel. One evening, as he sits talking to a friend, he tells a strange story, a tale of his youth.
While he was living among the native people of the jungle, a nearby savannah caught his fancy. The natives claimed it was haunted and would not go near it. One day, he set out to explore the savannah for himself. For a long while he sat on a log trying to identify the calls of the birds. One particularly engaging sound seemed almost human, and it followed him as he returned to the village. Soon he bribed one of the natives to enter the haunted savannah. The guide became frightened, however, and ran away, leaving Abel alone with the weird sound. The man had said that the daughter of the spirit Didi inhabited the forest. Abel felt sure that the nearly intelligible language of the birdlike sounds was associated with the one to whom the man referred. Again and again, Abel returned to the forest in his search for the source of the warbling sound, but it always eluded him. Then, one day, he saw a girl playing with a bird. The girl disappeared among the trees, but not before Abel had decided that she must be connected in some way with the warbling sounds he had heard.
The native tribe had been encouraging him to continue his quests into the area of mystery. He decided at last that they were hoping he would try to kill the creature who seemed to be haunting their forest. He...
