Iceland Family Adventure (ELFA)
Glaciers, volcanoes, all-day sunshine, Viking heritage… Iceland sounds unbelievable on paper, and it's even more extraordinary in the flesh. Bring the kids and embark on this speedy five-day, Reykjavík-based trip and encounter the majestic waterfalls and hot springs of the Golden Circle and Thingvellier National Park, bike in the long shadow of Thorbjörn Mountain, opt to swim in the famous Blue Lagoon and partake in loads of other activities from whale-watching to whitewater rafting. Just five days, but it'll stick with you for ages.
Highlights: Cycle through towering volcanoes, watch waterfalls rolling over the hillside, admire dramatic ever-changing landscapes, spot whales breaching in Reykjavík harbour
Amalfi Family Adventure (EIAF)
Eager to expose the kids to Italian cuisine that doesn't come in a cardboard box in 30 minutes or less? Take 'em to the Amalfi Coast. Long a secluded hideaway for adults, the Coast has the most for the younger set as well. Based in smaller towns amidst truly breathtaking scenery, there's a huge variety of activities for your family. Try a delicious cooking class, see the ruins of the doomed city of Pompeii, hike the hills of Tre Calli, explore Capri and more, all in a breezy and affordable seven days. This is pizza's ancestral home, after all. Deliver yourself to its doorstep.
Highlights: Visit the ruins of the Roman town of Pompeii, stare into the crater of Mt Vesuvius, enjoy small-town life in Amalfi
London to Paris Family Adventure (EEFH)
"I see London! I see France! I see…" Uh, let's just leave it there, shall we? Europe's two preeminent capitals await you and the kids on this short-and-sweet sojourn in London and Paris. Culture and exploration are the main attractions here with time to stop and marvel at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, but there's plenty more than just history on the bill here. Ride a double-decker bus through London, learn the finer points of French cooking and wrap it all up with a sunset cruise down the Seine. What a week!
Highlights: Hunt for ravens in the Tower of London, get lost in the maze at Hever Castle, whiz under the English Channel by train, partake in a medieval banquet, learn to create sweet and tasty French cuisine
London to Edinburgh Family Adventure (EEFL)
For centuries, London and Edinburgh were the cities of kings. These days, though, the royalty carry wands instead of scepters and swords. If you and your kids loved reading about Harry Potter, you're going to flat-out love living it. Beginning with four days spent exploring the monuments and sights of bustling London, we'll deliver you to Platform 9 ¾ and whisk you off to Alnwick – home of the castle that served as the original Hogwarts – for genuine broom-riding training, before turning you loose on Edinburgh, one of Europe's top cities for culture. (NOTE: No Dark wizards, please.)
Highlights: Experience the magic at the "Harry Potter" film studios, learn about the past on a visit to Oxford, check out the famous castles and rugged coastline of England, eat freshly made haggis in Edinburgh
French Alps Family Adventure (EFFA)
Ever told the kids they ought to run around outside and "get some fresh air"? Time to back up your words, parents. Air doesn't come much fresher than in Annecy, the charming centerpiece of this unique Alpine adventure. Active families will have the chance to soak it all in with a variety of outdoor activities, including mountain biking, waterfall-rappelling and a cruise around the glacial lake. But don't worry, parents; you'll have the chance to stroll the town and sample the local wines, too. See? Everybody wins!
Highlights: Kayak on the clear water of Lake Annecy, go whitewater rafting on the Isère, bike among Alpine peaks, wander around the town of Annecy

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Wauwatosa's Cool Pool
No, this isn't about Wauwatosa's real Cool Pool at Hoyt Park, whose friends invite everyone to a Valentine's celebration and fundraiser on February 9.
(Though if you go there, you'll get to hear West and East high school students sing and watch Roosevelt's fifth graders tap and fox trot their Mad Hot Ballroom hearts out. And what could be cooler than that?)
Indoctrinate your children well?
As my son considers going to school at Loyola in Chicago, we've developed a routine. I pretend to be horrified and say "Promise me you won't come home Catholic and Republican," and Geo replies "I promise I won't become Catholic."
Valentine's or Single Awareness Day?
In Wauwatosa, 40% of men and 50% of women over 15 are single. Which means that a lot of people are not particularly looking forward to February 14.
I'm a big fan of romance. It reminds you that you are very much alive and desired by someone whose desire you return. That's the best case, anyway.
Another kind of love story
"So how'd it go," I asked Mom.
"It was wonderful. We had so much in common! We just talked and talked and talked. I think we closed the place down."
Sometimes, Bush is right: Medicare reform
Not all the way, maybe. But partly.
On February 15, the Bush administration proposed changes to Medicare that have made almost everyone unhappy. Like most legislation, it's a mixed bag. But two ideas in the plan, already pronounced "dead on arrival," are no-brainer necessities.
Who NOT to vote for tomorrow
With the presidential primary just a day away, I'm still vacillating. Apparently, I'm in good company. Wisconsin, a swing state, likes to keep 'em guessing.
As CNN political analyst Bill Schneider said in the 2004 primary, "They like underdogs and outsiders in Wisconsin. that's why (Howard) Dean put his bets on Wisconsin. . .And just to show in another wildcard, this is an open primary. Anyone can vote. Independents and Republicans can vote. So, they could really stir things up, up there."
The financial institutions formerly known as "Wauwatosa"
The name "Wauwatosa" is disappearing from local institutions. Wauwatosa Credit Union is now Focus. Meanwhile, Wauwatosa Savings Bank announced that it's changing its name "because of recent growth and expansions," though it hasn't decided to what.
Growth and expansions? From the Small Business Times: "Wauwatosa Holdings Inc., the parent company of Wauwatosa Savings Bank,
reported this week that its net income declined substantially in the
fourth quarter and for the full year of 2007. The company's fourth-quarter net income shrunk to $307,000, or 1 cent
per share, from $2.3 million, or 7 cents per share, in the same period
a year ago, as the company incurred an eight-fold increase in its
provisions to cover bad loans, according to a filing with the the U.S.
Securities & Exchange Commission. For the full year, the company's net income plummeted to $1.6 million from $8.1 million in 2006.
Tender mercies
Last night, son Geo and I went to see Juno, a wonderful movie about a pregnant girl who gives her baby up for adoption. But it's really about the quirky and un-movie-blockbuster-like love people have for each other.
As I went just a hair above the speed limit down Bluemound to get there on time, Geo said gently, "Mom, do you want me to drive?"
Information, dogma, and the mayoral forum
"Philosopher Robert Anton Wilson defined information as data and ideas that are new to you. If it's something you already know, then it's propaganda or dogma, not information. Philospher Terence McKenna had a similar view. He used the terms 'information' and 'novelty' interchangeably. If you're not surprised, he said, if your curiosity isn't piqued then the messages streaming your way don't qualify as information."
That bit of sage-ery comes from my Free Will Astrology horoscope, not some scholarly text. But it's an intriguing way of looking at the onslaught of facts, contentions, and wishes that come from the mouths of every political candidate. So I'm taking astrologer Rob Brezsney's advice and making that my gold standard in the coming weeks.
Sick of being sick
I think that last Tuesday was the only day in the past week that we've been free of a close encounter of the medical kind.
Chances are, you know where I'm coming from: from the urgent care center to the clinic waiting room to the radiology suite, every place we've gone has been crowded with people coughing and looking miserable.

Philips SHE3590BK/10 In-Ear Headphones (Black)
" Sooooo...after 2 years of faithful service, my trusty westone um1s have finally played their last song and died (the left earpiece has no sound coming out of it) so i figured it was time to get a new pair. I've since ordered the eytomic hf5, but until they got here, i needed another pair because apple earbuds hurt my ears. As such, i got another set of these guys, which also happen to be..." --fluffyberry
Philips SHE9700
" This IEM is definitely the best bang for the buck! Basshead person should purchase it without a doubt. Even it's higher brother, Philips SHE9800 didn't able to match the sound quality of this IEM! :D It produced very deep punching bass and high definition clarity on mid and treble. It feels like you have your own built in sub-woofer inside this IEM! Comfort to use in a long run,..." --chrone
Philips S2BK/28 Fidelio In-Ear Headsets
"My first in-ear headphone. Always thought they couldn't be any good compared to the over-ear headphones. I was wrong. The looks are a matter of taste, so I keep that in the middle for a review. This Philips Fidelio S2 starts with a superb build quality. Distinctive flat cable is a bit short. Works fine with a device (phone, mobile player, etc) in your pocket when on..." --Antilochos
Philips SHE9800 In-Ear Headphones with Advanced Acoustics
" i dont want to say too much cuz its nearly discontinued , and its hard to find one , it was even then , the comfort is awesome ,the sound stage is the biggest i have ever heard even bigger then my cx500 . i own two of these , so you can think how much i love them .. good bass , nice mids , good highs and the best thing is its really fun to hear these .. onw thing i would like to..." --suman134
Philips SHE3570BK/10 Black In-Ear Headphones
"While browsing through my local electronic store I came upon these Philips IEMs. G reviews on the forums persuaded me to pick this one up at €14,95 I stopped buying cheap headphones years ago when high quality portable audio became more portable and affordable. Before that time I was a Philips fan, back then I thought that Philips had an honest sound in their cheap earbuds (I hated IEMs). But..." --Mactire
Philips SHE3575/28 In-Ear Headset, Black
" For an affordable in ear monitor with built in mic, I'm surprised by the sound quality it produced. This phone is for basshead person. Hehe :D It produces good enough deep bass without distorting the mid and treble. The deep punching bass and high definition clarity is somewhat one level below its older brother, Philips SHE9700. The mic is also compatible with Samsung Galaxy Nexus...." --chrone
V-Moda Bass Frequency Rouge Earbuds
" These were my first pair of headphones that I've bought in my life. I remember being amazed at the sound quality and bass after listening with the mediocre headphones that came with my Sansa Fuze. As long as I remember, these headphones had the biggest bass out of all headphones that I've owned (I've had the Sennheiser CX-300, Sony MDR-XB20, and Pioneer SE-MJ31). I do not clearly remember the..." --jojexy
Philips Fidelio S1
" I have to say, as introduction: I'm not an audiophile, just an "enhanced" user with more than 20 years of analogic and digital listen. I use mainly portable devices, some Fii amplifier, and I listen pop-rock-ethnic (50%) classic (20%) and jazz (30%) mainly lossless. And finally my english, it's not "mother tongue style", sorry for this. This product (on amazon, 60 euros) has an..." --pignolo
Philips SHE3680 Headphones, Wired
"I bought this one 'cause I was pretty curious after all the claim about the new philips babies. Little disappointed but for the price I cannot complain. Not so clean mids, a bit of sibilance and bass-oriented IEM. Tiny bassy lady i ave to say." --rainy nights
Philips SHE5105PP/10 CitiScape ST Germain In-Ear Headphones - Purple
" Do not buy these. They sound good, true. But with the price they ask? NO! Better sounding alternatives are available at over hakf the price of this! Sound quality is good, but the sound it gives for the prices is just crap. I expect something better for $60 IEM's. " --Ezio

I would love Toronto to be renamed to the huskies or I always loved 'Toronto North' but I at least we are not the lamest team name in the league..
The name is weak, but it's the state bird... this is the whole 'cool' name VS 'meaningful' name debate.
Worst team name ever!!!
F*ck Brooklyn
The "Raptors" may not be the greatest team name, but like Pelicans, there are far worse ones currently (Magic, Nets, Cavaliers, Wizards, Spurs, Nuggets, Jazz).
At least Raptors is somewhat fear-inducing.

Nuggets, Jazz, Spurs are great imo. Good associations.
honestly, i love it. and its still not even in the bottom 5 names.
Nilanka, it was sarcasm, hehe
yeah but it's widely known the "Raptors" were named because of all the hype after the jurassic park film. It is extremely gimmicky and does not have the rich history that the "Toronto Huskies" would have.
Its a cool sounding name.
Also they are the only bird that can swallow a whole bird as a whole so that's kinda badass.
Everyone will be dying to be a raptor soon enough as Jurassic Park 3D 20th anniversary is set to come out at IMAX.

Basketball has clear winners every night --except at the draft, which is all homework, politics and chance.
I don't mind the Pelicans. Better than Hornets IMO. Speaking of team names, are there any leagues with stranger ones than the NBA? I always thought the Nuggets were hilarious when I was a kid because I generally associated them with boogers. And of course, what 6-year-old doesn't like the word "Knickerbocker"?
I was hoping they were transitioning into bird of prey "raptors" when they came out with the claw logo that kinda looks bird-like but, alas, they have not. Toronto has a ton of raptors for anyone wondering; Peregrines all the way to sharp shinned hawks.

I think of the raptors and I think of Isiah Thomas smirking. Everyone would like the Huskies, but the organization is out of touch with what the fans actually want.
