Tell me what you care about, ask me who I am
Tell me where the future lies, look into our hands
You are the inspiration, to a world so in need of you,
Fascinate them with expressions of wondrous words anew.
Tell me of your passion, tell me of your heart
Tell me what you'll share, tell me what's your part
Show me where you're going, show me how you'll fly
Show me where you're heading you can do it if you try.
Dreams of helping others? Reaching out your hand?
Dreams of building bridges? Help me understand.
Tell me what you're doing, tell me what you see
Tell me what you're living, tell me what you need.
Speak out loud for all to hear, so those who will listen can set free their fear.
We all live here on Earth together
With arms outstretched, reach for the bright star above.
Together we will find a way; together we will reach the stars
Tell me your dreams, and tell me your sorrows
Tell me why you're crying, tell me why you fear
Tell me why you're hating, tell me why you cheer
I miss my grandmother's blue, blue eyes.
I wish for the magic in her eyes to stay with me and our children and their children, always.
I'm missing those who've gone from me, though they feel so near
I'm missing doing lots of things when I live in fear
I'm dreaming of a better world where what we do is care
I'm dreaming of a fairer place where everyone will share
Live using your senses
Guard the memories
Find the speck of dust
Transform our Universe
I'll tell you what I'm thinking, tell you what I miss
Tell me how you're feeling, be it pain or bliss
Let me hear your secret, I promise not to tell
Tell me what you're hoping, tell me what exists.
Tell me about that sleepy smile that rests on your face at night
Tell me of your heart that soars as you watch your dreams take flight
Find someone to whisper it, tell it soft and low
Let the world lean on in and let the dreaming go
Ask me why I'm helping, ask me why I care.
Ask me why I'm watching, ask me why I stare.
Tell me all your secrets, all your little lies
Tell me why you're different and what you have inside
Tell me of your wings, tell me what you've hoped
Tell me where have you been, tell me where you'll go
I'm thinking that doing just a little can mean an awful lot
I'm thinking we have to realise just how much we've got
Tell me what you're reaching, tell me how you dare
Tell me what you're feeling, tell me how you care
I'm wishing for all those I love to live in peace and health
I'm wishing this far more than wishing on them wealth
I had a dream, the world would be a team with peace and love for all
If only the world could be a better place for all
Irrespective of color, race or creed
Indeed put an end to greed
Your words are like a heart-made gift
That bring me to the world you live
Share with me what's in your heart, trust me to understand
Open to me your heart's content and I'll show you too what's mine
We'll call for all the other people
Until the world will have a heart that beats as one.
I wish for global understanding and dream
That the love of reading will reach every boy and girl on earth
Listen to your friends, listen to their words
Listen to others, listen to chirpings of birds
Time be my friend, age be my strength
Allow moments to endure
Tell me what you're seeking, tell me what you need,
Unfurl the buds of your dreams and you might
End up seeing the world in a whole different light
Equality for all in our world.
Oh tell me with a metaphor
Please tell me in rhyme,
Tell me with a parable
Take your precious time.
Tell me what you're made of, tell me what you know
Tell me where your path lies, tell me where you'll go
Believe we can be someone the world would be happy to see
Believe we will grow in freedom the world with you and me
Tell me what you're wanting to be heard, tell me how to hear
Tell me, together we can change, tell me when and now,
Tell me to think green, tell me and show me how.
Let the sound of children's laughter add years to our lives
Tell me you're believing in a dream not yet realized
Do you see beauty, do you see light?
Do your dreams take you on journeys each night?
I'm dreaming of a peaceful life and a world in which there is no strife.
I will always listen, I will always care.
You can always trust, that someone will be there.
Show me your experience, even just a jist
Show me your writing, it's a path to bliss
Tell me about everything, tell me what you want to say.
There's a world out there waiting for all of us, a world wanting to be discovered.
I dream that every boy and girl had parents who leaned into learning
I wish that when they faced the wind, the leaning would give strength to the yearning
Tell me all about you, tell me your history.
Each one of us has a past,
And will have a bright future.
Anything is possible, listen to your heart.
I'll tell you what I'm thinking: I'm tired of all this strife
Right/left, pro/con, fear of change in this life
One of us is all of us; I am because you are.
Tell me what you're reading, tell me what you aim
Tell me what you're preaching, tell me what you do
Let equal opportunities prevail
To sustain this change; our wish, our desire!
Tell me, in the darkest of nights, tell me what you're seeing,
On the furthest shores, tell me what your vision was
I dream of a world with green leaves and blue moons
Pursue your dream, believe in life - share happiness instead of strife.
Let not the will of others cloud the choice you make.
Let love guide your actions; never spite never hate.
Your heart can hold more love than a tornado can stand
Tell me what you're seeing; tell me what you learn
Tell me what you're missing; tell me what you yearn
Tell me how your day has been, in 20 words or less.
Great thanks, this poem is the BEST.
Tell me about future, just as real as all this!
Make your heart a seed, and this is just the start,
Make your heart the seed and watch new trees grow.
I wish for no poverty; it's so very snotty.
The end of the story is never the end of the story
A world full of knowledge, wonder and excitement,
With friendships abound, and amazing enticement
Tell me where this world is going, tell me where it lies
So tell me that you're up for change, that you want to raise the bar.
Young boys, young girls, put out all the stops, win your battle
Learn to love reading for it will help you end your struggle
Get off to a good start when speaking what's on your mind
You'll go places someday. Get laud! LitWorld is just behind.
You and I may be far apart
But through our poem, heart-to-heart
We miss the days of dreaming, lying in a field
Those simple days of reading, when time was slow or still
Have you dreamed of traveling to places far away?
Have questions kept you up at night with fear no words can say?
I tell you my heart aches, longing for you
Longing for the time being with you
What I'm thinking, I never know cause my
Mind can never focus on one thing
What I miss is my family!
Being the castaway gives me the
homesick feeling everyday
Your presence is what I miss; you're special, you're unique
Sadness is a disease, happiness is the cure
Joy is like an angel, always clean and pure
Always be sure, always be kind
Think what you want and your heart will be pure.
What I dream is beyond me, my imagination is wide
Which takes me on plenty of rollercoaster rides
That make me sweat when I wake
REACH for your DREAM.... it's never too late
Tell me what you long for, tell me what you know.
Tell me where you've traveled, tell me where you'll go.
Share your deepest yearning, the places you have seen
I am dreaming of wonderful wishes for the children of the world.
Don't ever say NO! Always say YES!
Don't be afraid to dream, don't be afraid to guess
Something that I dream of, something that I wish
Is to be a super star and have a jacket that goes swish, swish.
I also like the lights, camera action
I would love to be a superstar, I wish, I wish, I wish
I am thinking about love, happiness and someone special
They've been in my head the whole day, I can't get them out.
I miss that person and I dream with them every night.
I wish they would be with me forever, right by my side.
I wish that I could graduate from the grades I have left and college
Then have a really successful life and live every second of my life.
I wish that I made it in the MLB, or a football or basketball team.
I wish I will pass and get an education, I wish I was rich and cool.
I'm thinking to be in the MLB
I am missing my mother when I am in school
I was dreaming about my dad playing baseball
I wish I could be in the MLB
Tell me what you love, tell me what you know.
Tell me what you need, tell me what you feel
Tell me what's the deal, tell me if its real.
Tell me what excites you, tell me.
What I think is telling me what I had missing
What I dream is my memory.
What I wish isn't important to my thoughts or my dream
Tell me what has changed, tell me all your pains
Tell me this is a dream, tell me what it seems.
Tell me what you got, tell me what you like to do.
Tell me what's right and I'll tell you what's wrong.
I am thinking about basketball
I wish that school was over
I am dreaming about fun
I miss my granddad.
I see the darkness under your skin
Ready to jump and see your pain
I see you when you're crying so I give you my heart
And I take you tears and turn them into kisses
I see you act like something you're not.
But the people you act for will not be there forever
So rip it out and show them your wings,
Yes, baby fly away.
So I may say "I can't see you"
But I miss you. I can't hug you.
But I love you so make me happy
And fly like my beautiful dove.
It hurts to be away from my sweet baby girl,
I miss her dearly,
I wish mothers could stay home longer with newly born children,
I dream of her smiling when I come home.
I think about and miss my grandfather,
Along with dreaming and wishing he was still by my side.
I'm thinking of a perfect world, I'm missing my grandpa
I'm not dreaming I'm doing, I'm wishing for a happy life.
Thinking how life is stressful, missing my loving grandma.
Dreaming of the near future, Wishing for an easy way out.
How's vacation, grandma? Wish I came. I'm thinking about your call.
Call soon. Dreaming about your return. I miss you.
Tell me what you're thinking, is it love, I fear?
Tell me what you miss, is it my voice, you hear?
I'm thinking, missing, dreaming, wishing for my heart that has disappeared.
Will you find it and give it back ASAP?
When you sleep, when you dream, do I cross your thoughts?
I dream of you, I wish, wish that you would
Would just say that, that you love me too!
Now tell me what you miss, for a longer relationship we should of fought.
I'm thinking about then, missing what was there
I'm dreaming of him, I wish that it was fair
I wish I could stop myself from dreaming and thinking
About how much I miss your smile and laughter.
Tell me all your strengths, tell me all your fears
Tell me how you feel after all these years
I'm thinking of racing down the road
Thinking of that day again, missing that
Please rewind
Tell me your desire, tell me what's next
Tell me no lies, show me no hate
I can tell you're far away, I see it in your eyes
Dreaming you were with me, wishing you were my love.
I'm thinking about my future
And I'm missing my past,
I'm dreaming of fantasies
And I'm wishing they would last.
I wish every baby a kind and loving home,
Clean food and water, and lots of room to roam.
I wish children's real needs were met,
Not left for angry gods and governments to forget.
Tell me what you're doing, tell me what you wish
I am dreaming to change the world
I am wishing for world peace that is what I need
I'm dreaming to end world hunger.
Tell me what you're doing, tell me what you do
Tell me what you need, tell me what you know
Tell what you achieve, tell me your wishes
What I wish is world peace, if it comes true I'll be happy
I wish that I were rich, I wish to sing
To be a baseball player playing at the Yankee Stadium
I am thinking to be a soccer player not a mayor.
I am thinking to be the best soccer player or be in a good team and win.
Tell me what you like, tell me what you miss
Tell me what you wish, tell me what you want to achieve
Tell me what you love, tell me what you want
Tell me what you're doing, tell me what you write
Tell me what you're wanting , tell me what you get
Tell me what you need, tell me what you have
Tell me what you love, tell me what you do always
Tell me what you're reading, tell me what you understand
Tell me what you wish, tell me what you need
Tell me what you're singing, tell me what you hope
Tell me what you're wishing, tell me what you want
Tell me what you're enjoying, tell me you like
Tell me what you're saying, tell me what you pray
Tell me what you have, tell me why you like life
Tell me what you like doing, tell me how you feel,
Tell me if you hurt, tell me what it feels like to be loved
Tell me what you like, tell me how you feel
Tell me who you love, tell me why you hate
Tell what you like doing, tell me what you do.
Tell me what you want to be, tell me where you'd like to travel
I am thinking that every person should be educated equally
I miss my sister because it has passed 1 year before seeing her
I am dreaming that one day I will achieve my dreams.
I wish that one day the world changes to a wonderful one.
Tell me what you like, tell me what you hate.
Tell me what you feel, tell me who you love.
Tell me what you read, tell me why you like being a girl
Tell me what you like doing, tell me what you'll be when you grow up
I am thinking of how to improve on my studies and talent
I miss visiting my aunt who is in Sudan
I am dreaming of becoming someone important in life
I wish to be a good parent in the future
Tell me what you are, tell me what you like.
Tell me what you do, tell me what you enjoy
Another day of sunshine, another day of light
Another day to kiss the world, and keep on making it bright!
If you think a thought, think it with all your might
If you dream a dream, we hope it will come true.
Tell me what you're thinking, tell me what you know
Tell me what's your passion, tell me what you hope for
Children at my knee, jubilant stories flow
Adults seeing eye to eye, seeking truth to grow
Tell me what you need, tell me what you want.
Maybe I can grant your wish, so you won't need much more.
Tell me what you hope, tell me what you need,
And I will be there as a good deed.
Tell me what you're learning, just give me a clue.
Tell me what changes you can make, today and tomorrow too.
Tell me if you're happy, tell me if you're sad.
Tell me if you're annoyed, tell me if you're glad!
Tell me what you're feeling, tell me what you ponder.
Tell me what you're reading, tell me what you wonder.
Tell me why there's hate, cause I think hate is wrong.
Why should we debate, instead we should write a song.
Tell me what you love, tell me that you care
I hope you find your way around this world,
You can make a change if you want to.
Help others, and they can be like you.
Tell me what you're feeling, tell me what you see.
Tell what you're dreaming so you can be want you want to be.
I see my students graduating. I wish them the best.
I dream of them caring, I think they will pass the test
Tell me what you're reading, tell me what you love to do
And maybe we can all be friends too.
A friendship has gotten me thinking, it's my friend I dearly miss
Memories with meaning, true friendships for others I wish
Be free like a butterfly, fly like a bird
Tell the whole world what you have heard
I am thinking that I miss seeing crystal clear, clean waterways.
I am dreaming of safe and clean streams where the butterfly plays!
Tell me what you've witnessed, tell me what you live
Tell me how to make the dreams, the hopes, the maybes of your life
A simple smile on your face makes my world a better place
but when you frown, my feelings go down
Is the whistling wind, calling out for you,
Does the ocean hum in Green instead of Blue?
Ask me what colors does my day to day provide.
Ask me how I use this paint to dream of other sides.
Tell me what you're hoping, tell me what you list
A single voice of love to spread across the wondrous world
A friend, a laugh, a choice, for every boy and girl
Remember, remember, remember how love feels!
In the coolness of the morning or the brightest light of day,
What stories are you building, what poems will you play
I'm wishing for a better world, for the children of tomorrow
I'm dreaming of a worldwide peace so there will be no sorrow
Tell me how to feel it, tell me how to be
Tell me what to do, show me how to see
If we take time to stop, look and listen to one another,
Understanding would grow for each sister and brother.
Tell me what you're pondering, tell me what you feel.
Tell me when you're feeling down so I can raise that frown.
Uncharted territory, leading to a safe harbor
The light will guide the way.
Tell me what you need; tell me is it this?
The world is too big for anything to be missed.
When your world feels too much to bear,
Pick up a book and steal away.
Tell me how to help, tell me what you need.
Tell me how to be there, tell me how to set you free.
Tell me who you love, tell me what you hear,
Tell me that you miss me, and I'm sure I'll be there
I am thinking of life and all of its cool bliss,
I miss my old home in Texas,
I'm dreaming of the stars that bring life and death,
I won't tell you my wish because that's a secret
Tell me what your name is, tell me what you do
Tell me what you need, tell me what you want,
Ask me if you need anything, you're the one that needs me,
Tell me that you need me, I'll help you to get what you need.
Tell me if you remember, tell me if you care.
Tell me if I'm crazy, tell me if you're really there.
Your smile changed me and I want you to be right by my side.
If you are not right by my side, I will cry forever
Tell me where you're going, maybe you'll make it.
Tell me how you feel, tell me what's the deal.
Tell me what you want, tell me where you've been
Tell me if you're okay, tell me what you're doing
Tell me what you're imagining, tell me what you see.
Tell me what you're living for, tell me what to be.
I'll tell you what you're missing, if you tell me what you hate.
I'll tell you what you can do, if you tell your wish and fate.
Speak of what you're grieving, speak of what you miss
Speak of what you're deceiving, speak of what you wish
I'm thinking of the bad and good, that is what I miss.
I'm dreaming about the good, and that's what I wish.
Tell me what you're seeing, tell me what you don't.
Tell me what you're saying, I'll tell you what I won't.
Tell me what you need, so go ahead tell me.
Tell me what you want, and I will have it be.
Tell me where you're going, tell me what you see.
Tell me all your memories, tell me if you believe,
This insane story, of love and tragedy;
The story of you and me.
Tell me about everything, forgetting is a sin.
Don't tell me you can't, tell me you that can.
Tell me what you're dreaming, tell me what you see?
A world of wonders, just right in your sleep
Explain how you are feeling, explain what's in your heart
Explain how life is, but don't explain too much
I've been thinking, I've been dreaming, that I can be what you miss.
That I can be your last kiss, can't you see that's my only wish.
Tell me what you're doing, tell me what you did.
Tell me where you're going, tell me where you've been.
But if live was as simple as this poem, we did.
Tell me what you're feeling, tell me "how's your day?"
Tell me how to make the world, a better place to stay.
I'm thinking what comes next, I'm missing yesterday.
I'm dreaming of tommorow, and wish of a new day
Show me your emotions, show me what you feel.
Show me your devotion, show me that you're real.
Teach me your voice, teach me what you will
Teach me about your choice, teach me about your skill.
Tell me all your secrets, tell me your desire.
What do you regret? What do you admire?
Listen to my story, listen to my life.
Take me to the blind story, with a single bladed knife.
I'm thinking that I love you, you're the one I miss.
I'm dreaming of that moment, when we share our first kiss.
Tell me what you're chasin, tell me what you want.
Tell me what you're looking for, that maybe I have found.
Let's join our dreams together, linking hands across the world.
Let's give all children everywhere the chance to learn to read.
There's magic sparkling everywhere that children's fists are curled
Around a story – theirs or yours or mine – the soul to feed.
I dream that we will understand
The need to hold each other's hand,
To spread the wealth and share the love
To live for those here, not what might be above.

Wearing: vintage spray jacket, vintage blouse, Quirky Circus shorts, ASOS oui/non belt, Topshop buckle boots and vintage bag {Photos by Jess}
I've been sort of really into this 'sports luxe' trend for a few months now, well, pretty much ever since round 3 of the ASOS Future Stylist competition when we had to style a sports inspired look. So when I picked up this vintage (!!!) spray jacket at the local markets I was more than impressed with myself. But I had no idea what to wear it with. It seems that this is always the case for me these days – buying things I like but have no idea to wear with. Oh and you probably know how the story goes now.. all of my clothes ended up on my floor during a period of immense 'nothing to wear' frustration, only to have things suddenly look coherent on my floorboards and then subsequently be translated into an outfit.. a.k.a. this outfit. I guess I needed something to wear on the day of my flight to Sydney and I wanted something to wear that was warm and comfortable. {Fast fact: I wore a cape coat that made out of a bath towel like material on my 27 hr flight to London and was so happy with my choice}. I flipped through my wardrobe, past heavy wool coats that were so restricting in their arm movement, past my delicate lace and sequin pieces (uh oh, might just pull something whilst lugging around my huge suitcase) and then finally landed past this somewhat questionable piece. I was so determined to incorporate it into my outfit, given it's oversized, roomy fit, but yet I had nothing to wear with it. Anyway I don't know what happened but I ended up coming up with this and I quite like the muted pastel colour palette, which nicely fit the theme of our FELLT launch party at an industrial looking studio :)

At 0500 EST on Friday, I posted on this web site an exclusive report by Aviation Week's senior editor Guy Norris about Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works plans for a successor to the SR-71, the SR-72 (read it here).
Several hundred tweets, retweets and linkbacks later, when the east coast was just getting through its first cup of coffee, aviationweek.com went down. The high demand for the report, accompanying images and graphics appears to have broken the web site.
You're reading this so you'll know we're back up and running now. Thanks for your patience during our unexpected downtime. We've also made a note to warn the tech team next time we reveal a new spy plane.

Histamine H2 acid reducers (commonly called H2 blockers) are
available in nonprescription and prescription forms.
H2 blockers are usually taken by mouth, although some can also be
given as an injection. Two doses (morning and evening) are typically
recommended to control both daytime and nighttime symptoms. Doctors sometimes
recommend a single dose, taken at bedtime.
H2 blockers reduce the production of stomach acid, which may
reduce irritation to the stomach lining and help an ulcer heal.
H2 blockers often are used to treat a
peptic ulcer or symptoms of indigestion (dyspepsia).
H2 blockers are sometimes used to help prevent ulcers in people who take NSAIDs long-term (for example, for arthritis).
H2 blockers are often effective treatments for indigestion or
heartburn. All four appear to work equally well.
H2 blockers are often able to control the symptoms of an ulcer. H2 blockers are sometimes used in
combination with antibiotics to treat H. pylori
H2 blockers can help prevent ulcers caused by daily long-term NSAID use.1
H2 blockers work better than antacids but not as well as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to control symptoms of ulcers and prevent new ulcers.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference
is not available in all systems.)
Antacids and H2 blockers should not be taken within 1 hour of each
other, because the antacid will cause the H2 blocker to take effect more
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Milwaukee Man Who Shot Armed Robber Breaks His Silence
Talks Only To 12 News
Nazir asked that we not use his last name but in a chilling, exclusive interview, he shared his story with 12 News.
Nazir said he was with his wife at the Aldi food store at North 76th Street and Villard Avenue Monday night when an armed man walked in and told everyone they were being robbed.
"He had the weapon up, looked like an extension of his arm. So it was pointed at the cashier and he waved it around at us, but it was pointed right to her head," Nazir said.
Nazir said he received his concealed carry license two weeks ago and took a refresher course over the weekend.
He said as the robber grew more agitated, he backed up, took his gun from its holster before he another customer in his line of fire.
"There was a gentleman behind the suspect, I nodded for him to get out of the way. Thank God he saw and got out of the way, and that's when I had to fire at the gentleman," Nazir said. "The cashier was fearing for her life, I was fearing for my life as well as many other people. I did what I could, got a good shot off. Thankful he survived and was caught a short time after."
The robber, who was hit in the leg, and a getaway driver were both arrested and are awaiting charges.
This is the first time someone in Wisconsin has foiled a robbery since concealed-carry law went into effect last fall.
Part of the law allows businesses to ban concealed weapons. The Aldi store did have a sign telling people weapons were not allowed.
Nazir said he didn't see the sign until after the shooting.
He met with prosecutors Thursday and said they told him he he won't be charged.
"This one worked out for the positive. (The) bad guys were caught and still living. I'm glad I don't have that on my conscience," Nazir said.
Nazir has set up a website, www.ccwadvocates.com, to share his story with other people

Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Hitting a concert at this natural amphitheater on the outskirts of Denver tops most music lovers' bucket lists, but Red Rocks has way more to offer than killer acoustics – much of which is best experienced during daylight, and on foot. Park at the Trading Post and hop on the 1.4-mile Trading Post Trail, which loops you through the park's unique mountains-meet-meadows landscape and its signature rock formations. Next, hoof it up to the venue, where you'll enter right next to the iconic stage that has hosted everyone from to U2 to the Grateful Dead. Now get ready to climb. The 130-some stone steps to the top are enough to make you sweat, especially if you go down the other side and back up a few times. But if you still want more, join the couple dozen hardbodies you'll likely see running or lunging and squatting their way across the rows. Just don't forget to soak in your surroundings.

From the mesmerizing experience of watching "Polar Express" in 4D to staff celebrations and special holiday enrichment activities for the animals, the holiday season is always an exciting time for us at National Aquarium.
Part of that excitement includes decorating! As part of our conservation mission, we are always on the look out for ways to use recycled and eco-friendly materials to create one-of-a-kind holiday decorations!
We've included the steps for some of our DIY favorites below:
Recycled Magazine Holiday Tree
Old magazines
Glue (optional)
Glitter (optional)
- Fold the page of the magazine down to create a triangular crease
- Fold the triangle down again and then fold the tip of that page up so that it's even with the bottom of the magazine
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until every page of the magazine is folded in
- If desired, use glue and glitter to decorate your magazine trees!
Paper Bows
Recycled paper (printer paper and old magazine/newspaper works best)
Double-sided tape
- Cut your paper into eight approximately one-inch wide strips (leaving one to the side)
- Loop the top half of the strip and secure to the middle of the strip with tape, loop the bottom half of the strip so to complete the "figure eight" shape
- Repeat step two for the remainder your strips
- Arrange the "figure eights" into a bow shape and secure together with a stapler.
- Loop the final strip (set aside earlier) and tape it in the center of the bow to cover the staple
3D Paper Snowflake
Recycled paper cut into six squares (again printer paper and old magazine/newspaper work best)
Old ribbon or string (optional, for hanging)
- Gather your six square sheets of paper and fold each diagonally into a triangle
- Cut three lines in the triangle by positioning the scissors along the bottom fold, these cuts should be parallel to the top edges of the triangle and should leave some distance in the middle of the triangle (do not cut the paper all the way through)
- Once you've cut lines into each piece of paper, unfold them so that one of the points of the square faces you
- Roll the first two innermost paper lines together to form a tube. Place these two pieces together. You should see triangle shapes on either side of the role
- Turn the diamond over, take the next two paper lines and pull them together on the opposite side of the tube and tape together as before. This will be a more rounded shape than the first tube.
- Completing that pattern, join all the paper lines together on alternating sides until every "arm" of the snowflake has been completed
- Staple together the tops of three of the completed snowflake "arms"
- Staple the other three tops together
- Join the two halves of the snowflake by stapling together the tops of the snowflake
- Staple together where the "arms" of the snowflake meet each other, ensuring that the snowflake shape will stay in place
- If desired, loop a piece of ribbon or string through one of the snowflake "arms" and hang your snowflakes on doors, banners or windows!

Another fortnight, another trio of fresh DiScoveries for you - all of them very different kettles of musical fish.
Copy Haho are taking guitar music back to basics in the best possible way with some (very timely) sunny melodies and turbocharged guitars - if the latest Franz album left you cold, fear not for the 'Haho are here to make you smile. Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, meanwhile, are one of those bands with a really young member, but don't dismiss them as a gimmick. Their self-titled debut is another fine addition to the Dead Oceans stable. As for Papercuts, UK listeners really need to catch up as the new record, his third, is the first one to get a proper release over here - thanks for that, Memphis Industries. You Can Have What You Want is one of those slow-burning releases that might not impress instantly but reveals more of its charms with each listen. Give it a try.
Live-wise, we've got Wild Beasts playing for us in Sheffield next Wednesday (February 25th) with Napoleon IIIrd and Cats:For:Peru - check them out on Last.fm and confirm your attendance on Facebook if you feel so inclined. And really, you should - that Wild Beasts album still sounds amazing to me.
Copy Haho
Good, old fashioned indie-pop has its place and, historically, that place has more often than not been Scotland. See: Orange Juice, The Pastels,etc etc. But Copy Haho are four young whippersnappers from Stonehaven - a small town north of the border currently with two claims to fame: the inventor of the fountain pen was born there, and it's also the home of the battered Mars bar - who take their cues from way more than just that oft-referenced jangly Postcard sound. Indeed, it's a more American influence we hear in their throbbing guitars, and that, married with a frenetic, effervescent energy, is what makes forthcoming Big Scary Monsters EP Bred For Skills & Magic a vital addition to your 2009 DiScover playlist. It's the sound of four young men with a real ear for melody letting their exuberance get the better of them: why horde your sharpest hooks when you can pack loads into one song, as they do here on the likes of 'This Retro Decade' and 'The Last Dash'? Copy Haho are no one-trick pony, however. The Pavement-ish 'Bad Blood' reveals a lyrical dexterity you might otherwise have missed if every number hurtled along at a million miles an hour, as the aforementioned pair do. Its inclusion also suggests Bred For Skills & Magic might be only the latest - albeit most impressive - document from a band who've plenty more in their locker. Copy Haho are Joe Hearty (guitar/vocals), Stuart McIntosh (guitar), Richard Scott (bass) and Rikki Will (drums). Stonehaven's third claim to fame? You bet. Rob Webb
- The Bred For Skills & Magic EP is released on March 2nd via Big Scary Monsters.

Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band
Now here's an interesting proposition. Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band (that's one hell of a moniker) are: Benjamin Verdoes on vocals and guitar (formerly of Seattle indie types In Praise Of Folly), his 13-year-old drumming brother Marshall, Matthew Dammer (Moog, guitar, trumpet), Jared Price (bass, vocals), and Traci Eggleston (percussion, keys, vocals) – also married to Verdoes Snr. With a forthcoming debut album produced by Scott Colburn of Arcade Fire and Animal Collective tinkering, you could pitch this band somewhere between the grandeur and off-kilter tendencies those two revel in. That they sound very much of the Modest Mouse-Wolf Parade school is inarguable also; in their layered, multi-segment songs it's those bands' roving, stirring spirit they wholeheartedly evoke – a definite good thing. A cursory listen to Mt. St. Helens might see you baffled, perhaps thrown by the crowded nature of their songs, but it's this abundance of playful melodies and hooks that endears, given time. As evidenced on 'Cheer For Fate', the band also hold a surprising aptitude for muscular guitar interplay, which can veer from said song's tap-happy glee to the likes of grandstanding solos in the tradition of (gulp) Queen on the frenetic, scuzzy 'Anchors Dropped'. Don't let that put you off though: these Seattleites are easily charismatic enough to pull it off. For evidence of that look no further than the homemade Public Service Announcement videos available on the band's MySpace blog: leaning heavy on the charms of young Marshall, they're a refreshing, winningly silly collection. James Skinner

Papercuts is the project of commune-raised, San Francisco-based Jason Quever, and startlingly fine it is too. It's not, we must hasten to add, a "new" venture: come April, You Can Have What You Want will constitute his third full-length, following 2004's Mockingbird and 2007's critically lauded Can't Go Back. Indie cool stats come courtesy of producing Cass McCombs' debut album, involvement with Casiotone For The Painfully Alone and the forthcoming album including guests like Beach House's Alex Scally. With influences ranging from '60s pop, '70s girl-group basslines and krautrock rhythms – all cloaked in iridescent, fuzzy reverb – it's fair to say Papercuts don't hit the sweet spot with immediate effect. A few minutes in the company of tracks such as the outright gorgeous 'Future Primitive', however (to all intents and purposes a vintage pop song of the highest order), and you run the risk of coming over instantly gooey-eyed in admiration. Even better is the title track, which sees Quever's soft, insistent vocals rest atop a pulsing backdrop of oddly comforting melancholy; tinkled ivories mingling with languorous acoustic guitar, multi-tracked vocals and synth. Committing all his work to tape ("it sounds better") and identifying The Twilight Zone as a prominent influence on the "mysterious, melancholic" vibe permeating his recent work, we're willing to stick our necks out and suggest that in You Can Have What You Want Quever has up his sleeve a warm, gentle piece of work, and one that might ultimately emerge one of 2009's most beloved. James Skinner
- You Can Have What You Want is released on April 13th via Memphis Industries. Download 'Future Primitive' from their site by clicking here. A UK tour is scheduled for that month also, including a spot at our DiScover club in Manchester.

Wearing a T-shirt with the Colorado state flag symbol on the front and a hat advertising Vail, and sitting at a table surrounded by framed Avalanche jerseys, Matt Duchene certainly had the optics right when he signed a contract extension with the Avs on Thursday.
Duchene's five-year extension, starting with the 2014-15 season, is worth $30 million. This coming season will see Duchene finish out the two-year, $7 million contract he signed last summer, meaning his salary cap hit for 2013-14 will be $3.5 million.
"So excited to be part of the Avs' future! Love this franchise, team and city, couldn't be happier!" Duchene said on Twitter after signing the new deal.
His extension will take him through the 2018-19 season, when he will be 28 years old. The contract doesn't include a no-trade/no-movement clause.
"Matt already is and will be a big part of our team's nucleus for the long term," Joe Sakic, the Avalanche's executive vice president of hockey operations, said in a news release.
Duchene has 193 points (82 goals and 111 assists) in 266 games over four seasons with the Avalanche. He had 17 goals and 43 points in 47 games last season, which was shortened by the NHL lockout.
Duchene impressed people such as Sakic with his dedication to the gym and overall fitness starting with the previous offseason. Coming off a poor 2011-12 season, Duchene switched to a gluten-free diet and changed his workouts. He seemed quicker and stronger on his skates, and he emerged as a leader on and off the ice.
"I have worn this uniform with pride in my first four professional seasons in Denver, and I appreciate the organization believing in me for the long-term future," Duchene said.
By structuring the contract extension so that it kicks in at the start of the 2014-15 season, the Avs not only get to keep their salary cap lower for the 2013-14 season, they buy into another year of what could have been unrestricted free agency for Duchene.
Duchene could have become an unrestricted free agent after three more seasons, but the extension eliminates that possibility for the following six seasons.
After the 2013-14 season, Duchene would become the highest-paid player among the Avs. Paul Stastny remains the highest, at $6.6 million, but he is entering the final year of his contract.
Duchene, drafted third overall by the Avalanche in 2009, was a Calder Trophy finalist in his rookie season.
During the 2010-11 season, the Haliburton, Ontario, native was selected to the NHL All-Star Game for the first time and became the youngest player in franchise history (20 years, 84 days old) to lead the team in scoring (67 points in 80 games). He also became the franchise's youngest player with 100 career points, doing so Jan. 26, 2011, when he was 20 years, 10 days old.

king prawn tempura
We decided to walk down the street and find somewhere to eat, our friend made the suggestion on where to walk. As we read all the different Asian food signs we were pleasantly surprised when we came across this one. What a great restaurant, I love going into a candle lit restaurant with ambient music playing in the background. Our server was super friendly and was helpful on what to pick on the completely vegan menu!
J ordered the king prawn Tempura with a cocktail sauce for us to share, they were so delicious and tasted like the real thing, only better because no animals were harmed:)
I was excited for my meal...A spicy Bali noodle stir fry with tempeh with a sweet and spicy pineapple peanut sauce. The tempeh was my favorite part of the dish. It tasted so fresh, I have never tasted it like that before.
yum yum
We kept the dessert menu at the table, drooling over all the things they had to offer. Including a cookie, pie, or cake ice-cream smoothie! I really wanted the tofu creme brulee but unfortunately they were all out( it's my favorite dessert). I settled on the spiced carrot cake, which was perfect. J got the apple fritters with maple syrup and a scoop of ice cream, which were equally tasty.
The restaurant was full and the service was great. I enjoyed my meal very much. I will definitely go back for more when I have the chance.

ELGAR Symphony No. 2 / Barenboim 4786677
The surging, unquenchable energy of this account is obvious from the opening bars, which are borne on an irresistible flood of sound from the Berlin Staatskapelle, yet it's an energy that never threatens to overwhelm the symphony's lyrical core. Moments such as the quiet recall of the surging opening theme in one of the reflective episodes of the first movement's development are done with ravishing care by the Staatskapelle strings, while the second-movement funeral march is every bit the work's tragic heart, sculpted in massive Wagnerian paragraphs by Barenboim, with the oboe counter-melody that's threaded through its reprise beautifully done by the orchestra's principal, and sounding more touching and personal than I've ever heard it before. There are no holds barred in the "Scherzo" either, though the playing never loses its poise for a moment, and the finale is launched on the grandest possible scale, with unfailingly rich tone; right through to the properly elegiac coda, not a note is out of place. Every department of this fabulous orchestra seems to make a telling contribution to this performance at some point or other, and it's as much a triumph for the Staatskapelle as it is for its conductor.
. . . when Elgar says "presto", Barenboim really puts the foot down, making the third movement a veritable showpiece of technical virtuosity on the orchestra's part . . . this is a showstopper recording . . . Barenboim proves himself a true, career-long Elgarian and the soaring tuttis of the finale demonstrate all the things that good Elgar performances need -- an obvious love of the music and in this case a sense that there's a half-century of experience driving it. The last couple of minutes embody a real sense of resolution, making a deeper emotional impact than all that has preceded it, and clinching this performance of Symphony No 2 [excellently] . . .
. . . [the Staatskapelle Berlin] plays with great vigor and expressiveness . . . Barenboim is a sympathetic interpreter, and he gives the music ample passion and a nearly Wagnerian twilight radiance. However, Elgar's unsettling dissonances, passages of hectic activity, and the occasional harshness of his orchestration call for a frank assessment, and this performance is unsparing in communicating Elgar's anxieties. Barenboim's strong aptitude for late Romanticism, especially in his performances of Brahms, Bruckner, and Tchaikovsky, leads him naturally to Elgar . . . Highly recommended.
Daniel Barenboim's "Staatskapelle Berlin" are glorious in Elgar's kaleidoscopic first movement, the whole growing from a rich tutti Eb. That single note is magnificently coloured here, and the swaggering 12/8 theme has rarely sounded more like Strauss, striding ahead over rock-solid cellos and basses. This music can collapse if it's not kept under tight control, and the flowing speeds are well chosen. Barenboim the conductor excels in late-romantic Austro-German music, and he seems to be placing Elgar within the same tradition. The sinister interludes at the movement's heart feature some sublime divisi string playing . . . so much here sounds so, so right. The Larghetto's processional moves inexorably forward. Again, it's the lower strings that make the journey a compelling one. The Rondo's more capricious moments have an enticing breeziness thanks to perky woodwind playing . . . [the finale's] central section is fabulous, with refreshingly extrovert horns. The slow, poignant coda is beautifully done. This is a more than decent performance . . .
. . . [a] beautiful and moving account of the Second Symphony . . . Barenboim discovered Elgar through his early mentor and conductor, John Barbirolli, and something of that great Elgarian's flexibility of tempo and volatility are in evidence here. In these hands, you hear the echos of Brahms, Wagner, Bruckner and even Dvorák that reveal Elgar's closest inspiration . . . The gorgeous, silken string playing is something exceptional for Elgarians, but there is also plenty of Edwardian swagger in the brilliant rondo and majestic finale. A glorious disc.
. . . [this version sets Barenboim] among the finest Elgar interpreters . . . the Berliners take to it as if it were in their bloodstream . . . [Barenboim's playing style] is discreet, and suitable; but the important thing is that he saves it to make an expressive point, and therewith a structural one. He is sure-handed when clarifying the very subtle from Elgar's long opening movement, characteristically marked "Allegro vivace e nobilmente". He also knows when to give a section or a player a free hand, as with the beautifully played cello second subject of the first movement, "dolce e delicato", or the oboe solo that winds its way through the funeral tread of the "Larghetto" . . . Barenboim has, further, taken to heart Elgar's very scrupulous dynamic markings . . . Barenboim is careful in understanding the point and getting it across. This is a complicated movement, expressing complicated emotions, very well interpreted here. So is the "Rondo: Presto" . . . The relaxation of the finale is not without sections of furious contrapuntal complexity, again brilliantly negotiated by the Berlin players . . . It is an extremely demanding work; and Barenboim and the Berliners meet the demands magnificiently.
Barenboim has a wonderful way with soft string passages . . . into the "Larghetto", for example, the second set, so rapturously beautiful, and the very close of the symphony where, in addition to nicely detailed winds and some expressively curling "portamentos", there's a mass of helpfully clarified counterpoint. The "scherzo" is brilliantly played . . . the Staatskapelle do a wonderful job . . .
This is a superb, in fact I feel justified in calling it unequivocally a great, Elgar Two. It's difficult to know where to start in listing its excellences -- the playing of the Berlin Staatskapelle, without one ounce of unnecessary emotion yet performing as if they've had the music in their blood all their lives? The warmth and yet crystal clarity of the recording, in which every counterpoint, every subsidiary voice in Elgar's hugely complex score is perfectly audible and ideally balanced? But one must start and finish with Barenboim's interpretation, his first in this work for 40 years, with which he burnishes his already impressive and long-established credentials as an Elgarian . . . this is a marvellously full-blooded reading of the Symphony, full of drama and passion and rich-hued colour . . . [Barenboim] also understands perfectly Elgar's inwardness, the moment where the dynamic drops to "ppp" and he seems almost to lose himself in the hush of his own thought. Barenboim certainly makes the most of the haunted quality of the first movement's development section. The celebrated oboe counter-melody in the "Larghetto" has seldom sounded so plangent, while Barenboim's "scherzo" is demonic in its remorseless forward drive, preparing for a complex and exciting finale in which those slashing off-beat chords at the return of the theme have all the necessary impulsiveness and confidence. This must be one of the finest performances currently on offer, and a wonderful follow-up to Barenboim's Elgar Cello Concerto with Alisa Weilerstein, winner of this year's BBC Music Magazine Recording of the Year.
. . . [a] thoughtful and insightful Elgar, manifested here by his expansive treatment of the symphony's intimate moods -- very affecting in the darker passages of the opening movement, throughout the funeral march and at an unusually hushed ending. The rumbustious music is delivered with tremendous panache, and the Berlin orchestra plays like an instrument of Barenboim's -- and Elgar's -- spirit.
. . . [it's the German element that makes Barenboims] reading so special . . . [in the opening and closing movements, Barenboim is] lingering lovingly over some of the incidental detail, and encouraging his orchestra to produce some ravishing piano and pianissimo playing along the way.
. . . [Barenboim is] in total command of a personal but idiomatic reading . . . [here the Symphony] opens with a great release of energy and very purposeful strides, a confident composer in full and virtuoso form, the Staatskapelle Berlin relishing and shining in music grand and wistful, sometimes retreating to deep privacy and then re-emerging in full public view with thrilling rides of passion . . . Barenboim conducts a wonderfully gripping performance -- full of insight and character; spontaneity, too . . . it's all very compelling and convincing, the orchestra at-one with the music and with its conductor, whose detailing of the orchestration is pristine and which has been captured in superbly rich and vivid sound. And, sonically, Barenboim's placement of antiphonal violins (double basses on the left, behind the Firsts) is an aural plus-point, very much the arrangement that Elgar composed for. Barenboim's unfolding of the funereal second movement . . . is deeply felt and noble, intensely hushed and rising to a passionate climax -- to which Barenboim is typically meticulous with dynamics. The mercurial scherzo goes like the wind, brought off with agility and quicksilver responses, builds to restless tumult . . . and is paid-off with a scintillating coda. The finale -- amiable, anguished, majestic and contemplative -- initially finds Barenboim as an advocate on behalf of a positive Elgar before really digging in to his disquiet . . . From a possible glamorous summation, the music then sinks to reverie . . . and he is also arrow-like to the core of Elgar's soul . . . The end result comes with the strongest possible recommendation -- to committed Elgarians . . . and audiophiles -- and anyone who feels like taking the plunge: new Elgarians.
One of today's finest Elgar conductors fires on all cylinders in this pulsating performance.
. . . this live recording is of a matured reading, quite bristly in the scherzo, and full of energy from the start . . . Barenboim gives us the public face of Elgar and the counterbalancing withdrawal and sadness. The orchestral balance is telling -- solo oboe clearly focused in the slow movement, for example. A different view from Boult's, but equally unmissable.
Clearly Barenboim has a great deal of affection for the score and he has conveyed this love to the Berlin players for whom this symphony must be a rarity at best. Indeed the quality and engagement of the playing is one of its major pluses. Given the influence of Germanic composers on Elgar it should come as little surprise that the rich Germanic sound produced by the excellent Staatskapelle Berlin is very well suited indeed to this work . . . The Decca recording is full and rich . . . It strikes me that Barenboim finds so much beauty in the score . . . [Barenboim hits his stride in the opening of the work] with an ideally bracing tempo full of swaggering confidence and sweeping energy. The Berlin horns in particular make the most of Elgar's Straussian writing. I also like the way Barenboim encourages the superb strings to apply those little portamenti slides rarely marked in the Elgar's scores but so stylistically right . . . [2nd movement]: Again, the quality of the playing means many passages of exceptional beauty . . . his close to this movement is brilliantly achieved . . . [unsurprisingly] this is a fine sounding recording . . . Ultimately this is a strongly personal and sincerely expressive performance of a major work.
If anyone can make a case for Elgar outside Britain, and without special pleading, it's Daniel Barenboim, returning to conduct this British composer's works. With his dark-tone orchestra, this is an argument for Elgar as inheritor to Brahms. It is a Second Symphony suffused with life and, ultimately, regretful collapse.
. . . the finest performance of the Second Symphony I have heard in years. Barenboim clearly loves the piece and finds a depth of expression that has eluded most other conductors. The Staatskapelle Berlin plays Elgar as if they had played it all their lives. Decca's recording is superb with unusually rich sound from the lower depths of the orchestra . . .
Barenboim hat eine Hand für Elgars Musik . . . [die Einspielung] wird dem spezifischen Tonfall Elgars wunderbar gerecht -- es klingt farbenprächtig, hie und da rauschhaft schön wie bei Richard Strauss, aber stets schwingt jene Grandeur mit, die eine von des Komponisten liebste Vortragsbezeichnung suggeriert: Auch die zweite Symphonie hebt mit einem "Allegro vivace" an, das ausdrücklich "nobilmente" zu musizieren ist . . . voll ekstatischer Aufschwünge, aber auch erfüllt von Zweifeln, Grübeleien, tiefgründigen Gedanken. Ein symphonischer Kosmos, den die Berliner da aufbauen und in dessen Weiten man sich hörend gern verliert.
arenboims Zweite kommt . . . schlank, schmiegsam und leicht, aber nicht unsinnlich daher (schwerelos und auch in den leisen Tönen voll präsent etwa die Blechbläser) . . . Und der Beginn des Kopfsatzes, dieses knappe Streicher-Crescendo, wird unter Barenboims Händen zu einem einzigen Seufzer, der alles Folgende in seinen Bann zieht, über das gespenstische Scherzo bis zum Schlussthema, das so schwebt wie alles in dieser Einspielung. Dabei entwickelt Barenbeim einen kammermusikalischen Ansatz, durch den die Zwischentöne in den Vordergrund treten und neues Licht auf alte Noten fällt.
Es spricht für die Qualität der Berliner Staatskapelle und für Barenboims Verständnis von Elgars Sinfonik, dass ihre Wiedergabe gerade in den verhaltenen, introspektiven Momenten die grösste Intensität erzielt und dass sie selbst an den Höhepunkten Zurückhaltung übt. So dominiert hier letztlich, bei moderaten bis langsamen Tempi, jener vornehme Charakter, den der Komponist mit seiner Vorschrift "nobilmente" angedeutet hat. Gleichwohl kommen auch die "modernen" Elemente der Partitur -- ihre überraschenden harmonischen Wendungen und ihre neuartigen Instrumentenkombinationen -- nicht zu kurz, da der Dirigent dem oft dichten Orchestersatz durch sorgfältige Differenzierung von Haupt- und Nebenstimmen die nötige Transparenz verleiht . . . [Barenboims Einspielung vermag] in hohem Masse zu überzeugen.
. . . [on reconnaît ŕ la baguette de Barenboim la] faculté de guider la Staatskapelle Berlin dans une narration soyeuse et subtile, faite d'engagements puissants mais jamais débordants (dans l'"Allegro vivace e nobilmente"), de sens du lyrisme (splendides archets dans le "Larghetto") et de maîtrise des grandes structures. Du grand Barenboim donc.
De longue date, la musique d'Elgar est de celles que Daniel Barenboim dirige le mieux. Son approche relčve d'un romantisme trčs personnel dčs le début héroique de "l'Allegro vivace e nobilmente" de la Symphonie no. 2 (1909-1911), puis dans la mélancolie du deuxičme groupe thématique et lors de la longue section fantomatique du développement . . . ici, tout cela se tient fičrement, et nous tient en haleine. Le discours tourmenté ne s'éclaircit qu'ŕ la réexposition pour retrouver son climat initial, avant une conclusion fiévreuse et brillante. Sans trop de rutilance, avec des pupitres de basses magnifiques, la Staatskapelle de Berlin met en valeur la splendeur du tissu instrumental . . . Aprčs l'intensité des mouvements médians, le premier thčme serein du finale n'apporte qu'une détente toute relative dans cette interprétation hypersensible, quasi expressionniste et consciente des richesse d'une partition beaucoup plus complexe qu'il ne semble ŕ premičre vue . . . Le finale progresse fičrement, tantôt fiévreux tantôt emphatique . . . l'urgence dramatique singuličre jusque dans l'épisode complexe en fugato, avant la transparence et le grand souffle d'air frais inespérés de la conclusion.

Towering tight end Rob Gronkowski, Tom Brady's most-targeted receiver Sunday against the Broncos, was carted off the field late in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. He didn't return.
But was the play that put him down "dirty"?
Gronkowski had dominated the Denver defense, with six catches for 88 yards and a TD. But when he reached for a pass down the right side late in the game, Broncos free safety Darian Stewart undercut him at the knees and Gronkowski fell to the field in obvious pain.
Gronkowski declined to talk at his locker after the game. But he walked to a bus without crutches.
Brady spoke for him instead.

San Juan is known as "La Ciudad Amurallada" (the walled city). San Juan was founded in 1521. In 1508 Juan Ponce de León founded the original settlement, Caparra, now known as Pueblo Viejo, behind the almost land-locked harbor just to the west of the present metropolitan area. A year later, the settlement was abandoned and moved to the site of what is now called Old San Juan. San Juan is one of the biggest and best natural harbors in the Caribbean and is the second oldest European-founded city in the Americas.
San Juan is a major port and tourist resort of the West Indies and is the oldest city under the U.S flag. The metropolitan area known as San Juan has 3 distinct areas: Old San Juan, the Beach & Resort area, and other outlying communities, the most important: Río Piedras, Hato Rey, Puerta de Tierra, and Santurce. Río Piedras was founded in 1714 but became incorporated into San Juan in 1951.
During the early 16th century, San Juan was the point of departure of Spanish expeditions to charter or settle unknown parts of the New World. Its fortifications repulsed the English navigator Sir Francis Drake in 1595, as well as later attacks.
Old San Juan
This is a 465-year-old neighborhood originally conceived as a military stronghold. Its 7-square-block area has evolved into a charming residential and commercial district. The streets here are paved with cobbles of adoquine, a blue stone cast from furnace slag; they were brought over a ballast on Spanish ships and time and moisture have lent them their characteristic color. The city includes more than 400 carefully restored 16th- and 17th-century Spanish colonial buildings. The Old San Juan attracts many tourists, who also enjoy the gambling casinos, fine beaches, and tropical climate. More tourists visit San Juan each year than any other spot in the Caribbean. A leisurely foot tour is advisable for those who really want to experience this bit of the Old World, especially given the narrow, steep streets and frequently heavy traffic. To really do justice to these wonderful old sites, you'll need two mornings or a full day.
El Morro, the word itself sounds powerful and this six-level fortress certainly is. Begun in 1540 and completed in 1589. San Felipe del Morro was named in honor of King Phillip II. Most of the walls in the fort today were added later, in a period of tremendous construction from the 1760's-1780's. Rising 140 feet above the sea, its 18-foot-thick wall proved a formidable defense. It fell only once, in 1598, to a land assault by the Earl of Cumberland's forces. The fort is a maze of tunnels, dungeons, barracks, outposts and ramps. El Morro is studded with small, circular sentry boxes called "garitas" that have become a national symbol. The views of San Juan Bay from El Morro are spectacular. The area was designated a National Historic Site in February, 1949 with 74 total acres. It has the distinction of being the largest fortification in the Caribbean. In 1992, the fortress was restored to its historical form in honor of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Puerto Rico by Christopher Columbus. El Morro Fortress is a National Historic Site administered by the National Park Service. The fort is open to the public daily from 9am to 5pm; (787) 729-6960.
Castillo de San Cristóbal (San Cristóbal Fort) is El Morro's partner in the city's defense. Built in 1634 (completed in 1771), was considered the Gibraltar of the West Indies. San Cristóbal was supported by a massive system of outworks which provided defense in depth and is is one of the largest defenses ever built in the Americas. It rose 150 feet, covering 27 acres of land. As if its size and height weren't sufficient to intimidate enemies, its intricate modular design was sure to foil them. A strategic masterpiece, it features five independent units, each connected by moat and tunnel; each fully self-sufficient should the others fall. It's a World Heritage and National Historic Site, administered by the U.S. National Park Service. Open daily from 9am to 6pm; (787) 729-6960.
The Fuerte San Gerónimo (San Gerónimo Fort) was built on the opposite end of San Juan to strengthen the city's defenses. The fort is located behind the Caribe Hilton Hotel, with small military museum in Puerta de Tierra.
The Santa Elena Battery building with a long chimney-topped bunker was the formal army storage area.
La Fortaleza (also known as the Palacio de Santa Catalina began construction in 1533 and finalized the 25 of May of 1540, as a fortress. It was authorized to be built by Charles V as a defense against Carib Indian attacks. The building was the first of a series of military facilities constructed in the Bay of San Juan, but soon later proved inadequate to guard the entrance to the harbor, and became the official Governor's Residence. The oldest governor's mansion still used as such in Western Hemisphere and part of the old city's World Heritage Site. It has been occupied twice by invaders; by the Earl of Cumberland in 1598 and by the Dutch General Bowdoin Hendrick in 1625 when the building was damaged by fire. A major reconstruction was undertaken in 1640. In 1846, the building was remodeled and given a palatial aspect, uniting harmoniously 16th century military architecture with the refinements of the 19th century. It has been the home of 170 governors of Puerto Rico and is the official residence of the current governor. Although the original structure (Palatial Building surrounded by gardens) was very primitive, La Fortaleza has undergone numerous changes over its 300 years of history. Free tours are available daily. Open Mon-Fri 9:00am-4:00pm; guided tours in English on the hour, in Spanish every 30 minutes, (787) 721-7000 ext. 2358. Tours last about 40 minutes. Access to the official areas is not permitted.
The Alcaldia (San Juan's City Hall), started construction in 1602, completed in 1789. In the 1840's the building was heavily remodeled providing its present day facade intended by its builders to be an exact replica of Madrid's. The building has a tourism information center and a small gallery for periodic exhibitions. Free admissions. Open Mon-Fri 8am – 4pm, except holidays; (787) 724-7171 ext. 2391.
El Capitolio (Capitol Building of Puerto Rico) hold the offices of senators on one wing and those of representatives on the other, with galleries, friezes, mosaics and an impressive rotunda in which Puerto Rico's constitution is exhibited. Construction began in 1919 and the building was inaugurated on February 11, 1929. Guided tours by appointment only, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, (787) 724-2030 ext. 2472, 2518.
The Catedral de San Juan (San Juan Cathedral) is the second oldest cathedral in the Western Hemisphere; contruction began in 1521. The original church on these grounds had wooden walls and a thatched roof. It was destroyed by hurricane in 1526 (October 4th), rebuilt in in 1540, looted in 1598, and damaged by another hurricane in 1615. The Cathedral as seen today is the result of work done in 1917, when major restorations were performed. This Cathedral is an authentic and rare New World example of medieval architecture. The cathedral contains the marble tomb of the island's first governor Juan Ponce de León and the relic of San Pio, a Roman martyr. San Juan Cathedral still holds religious services on a regular schedule. Visitors can explore the cathedral from 8:30am to 4pm daily.
The Iglesia de San José (San José Church) began construction in 1523. Juan Ponce de León gave the land where the Church now stands. Originally called the Church and Monastery of Saint Thomas Aquinas, it was built by Dominican friars to serve as the monastery's church and chapel dedicated to Saint Thomas Aquinas. The section erected in 1532, the Main Chapel or Sanctuary, is an excellent example of 16th century Spanish Gothic architecture. Ponce de León, was buried here for 300 years until his body was moved to the San Juan Cathedral in 1913. This was the family church of Ponce de León's descendants. Puerto Rican painter José Campeche, who contributed a great deal to the beautiful churches of his island, is buried here. Open Mon-Sat 8:30am – 4pm, Sun mass at 12:00pm; (787) 725-7501.

Michael Hoffman Graeter's is serving chili now?
TJ Jackson I'd eliminate Eastside from your list - they are very new and their chili is very pedestrian, and they are much further out than the rest, adding a lot to your travel time
Michael Hoffman I'd enjoy it (although the prospect of finally meeting TJ is a bit off-putting).

The big game is over, Packers brought home the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and the half time show terrified some, thrilled others. So what are your thoughts on Super Bowl XLV? Between the Black Eyed Peas and Christina Aguilera, were you happy with either performance? How about the commercials? There were a ton of entertaining ones this year, from Eminem riding through the streets of Detroit to a young Darth Vadar; this was a good year when it came to ads.
Super Bowl weekend always seems to put a damper on the box-office, and this year was no exception making it the smallest box-office total gross in 15 years. Since this also happens to be the 13th straight weekend that ticket sales sank below last year's numbers, it is a little worrisome to say the least.
We promised we'd bring it to you! Here is the wonderfully talented filmmaker, James Cameron answering questions 28 feet underwater. Check out this incredible, one-of-a-kind interview that took place this morning at the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific in California.
In this enthralling chat session, find out all about the exciting new feature Sanctum 3D which opens this Friday at a theatre near you. This fantastic webcast was very exciting, as was Cameron's praise for the film itself. When Cameron was asked why audiences should go see the new underwater adventure, he added, "you won't breathe for the last hour!"
He's not kidding! Sanctum 3D is a thrilling ride that takes you deep down upon the ocean floor. This is one of the most breathtaking motion picture events you are sure to witness this year.
So check out this amazing video by clicking here and of course, go see James Cameron's Sanctum this weekend and let us know what you think.
Simon West is a name most action fans will recognize. His resume includes such hits as Con-Air and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, but his recent film is a far more violent take on simply car chases and shoot outs. In The Mechanic, Jason Statham is an assassin-for-hire who takes on his mentor's son (Ben Foster).
This remake of the1972 Charles Bronson cult classic serves up as Statham's most intense and violent picture to date. The kills are extreme and shocking, but what really makes this remake interesting is the fantastic relationship between Foster and Statham. Ben brings a whole new level of talent to this kind of picture.
A few days ago, 20th Century Fox opened its doors to the media for an early look at Rio, the latest animated adventure from director Carlos Saldanha (Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Robots). This Brazilian themed motion picture features the vocal talents of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Leslie Mann, George Lopez, Will i. Am and Jamie Foxx.
The King's Speech had an impressive weekend. The highly praised film earned 41% more this weekend at the box office, likely due to the twelve Academy Award nominations that it received this past Tuesday. True Grit also managed to make 4% more over the weekend, which is especially impressive as it dropped out of 350 theatres since last week.
Check out our Exclusive Interview with Fertile Ground writer/director and co-writer, Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson.
We finish off this week of celebrating After Dark Originals with a very talented couple. Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson are horror's dynamic duo, contributing to such films as Mother of Tears, and the bloody entertaining remakes of The Toolbox Murders and Night of the Demons. With Fertile Ground, their latest feature, we see a very different side of horror. When iamROGUE.com spoke with Adam and Jace, we talked about the origin of the story and about working together. Both Adam and Jace made for a fantastic interview. The two are very kind, and they have a genuine love of this genre which is always wonderful.
Starting today, After Dark Originals is bringing you a brand new batch of original horror works. Make sure you check out their website and organize your movie plans if you happen to be in one of the ten areas After Dark is playing. If not, keep an eye out for video releases. It looks like a good line up this year.
Building off the success of Horrorfest: 8 Films to Die For, After Dark Films, in conjunction with Lionsgate Films and SyFy/NBC-Universal, created a new brand – AFTER DARK ORIGINALS®.
AFTER DARK ORIGINALS® (ADO®) is a series of 8 new, original, cutting edge, horror films produced specifically for release by After Dark and Lionsgate in the United States in January 2011. Following the same format as Horrorfest, ADO® features 8 very different films spanning all types of horror in the genre. ADO® has allowed After Dark to use the vast talent base it built of the most innovative and talented filmmakers from releasing 32 films over the last four years of Horrorfest. The goal, to create a new, better and higher quality of horror for the new decade….In Essence A NEW BRAND OF FEAR!
Director Gregg Araki is a stylistic freak – whatever his budget , he will always color his films with a wide spectrum of shocking sights and sounds. Nothing is too delicate or controversial for the director.
In Kaboom, Smith (Thomas Dekker) is a regular bisexual college student: he lusts after his hunky blonde surfer roommate, Thor (Chris Zylka), and he hangs with his BFF, Stella (Haley Bennett). Everything is going well for him until Smith meets a girl named London (Juno Temple). The two quickly become more than just friends, and then suddenly chaos ensues when a mysterious red-head (Nicole LaLiberte) and a witch (Roxane Mesquida) – who becomes Stella's love interest – appear.
Dekker is terrific in the role of the protagonist: he captures perfectly the vulnerability in his sexual ambiguity. As emotionally disturbed as the rest of the characters are, they are incredibly endearing. While the rebellious anti-heroes Araki idolized in the past still haunt his artistic vision, he now seems more enlightened and optimistic. Araki, however, still takes chances in his thematic work. He always finds a way to mix sexuality, violence, murder and nudity into the story. With Kaboom, the nudity and sex is prominently explored, yet the film isn't nearly as violent as his The Doom Generation was. This is a story primarily of sexual awakening and embracing new experiences before our time on this earth is up.
One minor problem with the film is its much-too-quick final act. After focusing so extensively on character development throughout the strangeness, it would have been nice to slow down the action before the end credits. The final few minutes are too abrupt and explosive. I guess that's why they call it… Kaboom!
Check out our Exclusive Interview with 51 director and star, Jason Connery and Rachel Miner.
In our continued coverage of After Dark Originals which opens this Friday, iamROGUE.com had the chance to speak to director Jason Connery and his leading lady Rachel Miner about their latest, 51. They spoke about this exciting project and of course, working with After Dark Originals. Now the only thing I can tell you about 51… there will be aliens, and I don't think they'll be too nice.
With the upcoming release of James Cameron's Sanctum 3D on February 4, iamROGUE.com decided to take the boat out for a spin. Whether it is deep beneath the ocean surface or just a few feet from the shore, there have been some exciting cinematic adventures revolving around the ocean blue.
With part one of this seafaring list, we take a gander at a B-monster flick that gets an A in fun, a classic disaster at sea movie and much more. Take a look and be sure to add your favorites in the comments below.

While energy experts and others debate the value of the Keystone pipeline, fracking, and off-shore drilling, California is moving quickly to create an entirely different energy paradigm. Solar energy is quickly emerging as the most-reliable and cost-efficient (long-term) source for replacing oil.
To be sure, oil will always be needed for certain uses, but in California, solar is on the verge of becoming a major player as a source for electricity.
In 2011, California produced 259 megawatts of solar energy (one megawatt is enough to power 200 homes). New Jersey was second with 137 megawatts, followed by Nevada and Arizona with 61 megawatts and 54 megawatts respectively. But this is just the beginning.
Currently, California has more than 20 solar energy projects in the works in the Mojave Desert alone. When all go online, they will produce close to 9,400 megawatts of energy, enough to power nearly 1,900,000 homes.
That represents a significant change in the state's energy sources.
Why the rush? The answer lies with the state's ambitious effort to end dependence on fossil fuels.
As part of the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Act of 2002, the state required the three major utility companies to obtain 20 percent of their energy from non-fossil sources by 2010. Two of the state's major utilities, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric, didn't make it but they got close; San Diego Gas and Electric was a major laggard.
Last year, the legislature increased the state's commitment to alternative energy to 35 percent by 2020. Wind farms, biofuels, geothermal, and hydroelectric are part of the non-fossil mix, but most of the effort is going to solar energy, which has been supported by federally guaranteed loans.
There are a couple of downsides here, to be sure. For one, energy costs more in California than almost any other state because of the costs associated with ramping up infrastructure components like solar energy facilities, even with federal loan guarantees. Second, some environmentalists wince at the losses of animal life and plant species in the Mojave Desert as that part of the state is transformed into an energy-producing juggernaut.
Still, California is now moving on the alternative energy front to an extent simply not duplicated anywhere else in the nation. Yes, there are disappointments like Solyndra, but the long-term alternative energy picture is bright for the state.
