Brighton Back On The Map
29 Jun 2009 | 8:26 amBrighton might not be regarded as being a luxury holiday destination these days but with more and more holiday makers staying at home this year due to the global slump in the economy we thought it would be worth a mention as it will be one of the top tourist destinations among Brits this year. During the past three or four decades the number of visitors to Brighton has been in decline due to the cheap and affordable price of flying abroad to hotter climates but as mentioned above the Tide is turning in Brighton’s favour. For those who do decide to holiday in Brighton this year they… -
The city of Edinburgh
8 Jun 2009 | 4:24 amA review on Edinburgh Restaurants Continuing of our UK city guide, today we are going to have a look at restaurants in the city of Edinburgh in Scotland; there really is something for all tastes in this great city, I don’t think there will be a cuisine that has not got a dedicated restaurant in its honor. There is an abundance of restaurants that serve stylish Scottish cuisine that is cooked with fresh local produce, one thing you will notice in Edinburgh is that the competition is so completive that the chefs and restaurants not only cook good food but they also cook and serve with flair. -

Brighton Holiday Season
22 Apr 2009 | 9:24 amBrighton has been a great holiday destination for over 100 years now, in the last couple of decades the holiday population has declined as the price of traveling abroad got cheaper and cheaper, now with the credit crunch it looks like the fortunes of Brighton could be on the up again as more and more Brits are staying at home, not only has the credit crunch put people out of jobs it has also let the Euro catch up in value, for that reason it is now a lot cheaper to travel to the likes of Brighton & Blackpool respectfully.

Prayer To Aphrodite
2 Jul 2009 | 12:18 pmI read this on Hearthstone’s Book of Prayers, and I really like it, so I thought I would share. Unsurpassed goddess, with love and awe I greet you. Sea-green are your eyes, luminous and fathomless; flawless is your form. O wondrous Aphrodite, of water were you born, in water we know you– in soft waves of pleasure, in torrents of desire, in salt tears of lost love, in salt sweat at love’s end. So sweet your gifts, goddess, unbearably sweet, so sharp their agony, so thin the line between. For love that fills the soul; for life-giving passion; for pure, clear, beautiful… -

Wow, Thanks
2 Jul 2009 | 7:47 amThought for the moment: Even if it isn’t Thanksgiving, this is the time to say I appreciate and am thankful for ALL my blessings; those I know are blessings and those I am unaware are blessings as well. As I have studied the Bible more closely for the last eight years, I have learned more surely that one of the biggest mistakes anyone and any nation can make is rejecting an opportunity to thank God. Certainly the Lordship of Jesus Christ is paramount to all else, but next in line is a thankful heart. Every nation that forgot God- forgot Him after they stopped thanking Him and… -
National Holidays-where and why did they originate?
2 Jul 2009 | 2:58 amNational holidays: They originated in America to celebrate the achievements, births, deaths and works of the famous. Originally national holidays were reserved for presidents or very significant people, but now they seem to be created for anybody and anything. Also, new forms of national holiday have developed, those such as Halloween/ Father’s/Mother’s/Grandma-pa/Valentine’s day etc, the list goes on, however, these do not really celebrate much, they are just corporate gimmicks to ‘bring in some money!’ We only celebrate these things because we think that we… -

The best example of holiday usage in fantasy would have to be in Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising. It takes place the days before and/or after Christmas (can’t remember). I liked it because it had connections to ancient beliefs about the holiday season. Please tell me if I’m butchering this, but this is…

Santa Live Now Headlines
Santa Live Now Headlines <<i>b>CLICK HERE TO HEAR SANTA SHARE THE STORY I'd really like to hear what the crazies say about the indisputable proof Mythbusters provided. I'm sure they'll come up with some more fantasies like maybe: Bush faked the landing to steal all the oil on the moon. An engineer for JPL was in Houston and heard a transmission come over the radio that there were secondary explosions heard. But the audio recording mysteriously disappeared. Why would the tapes disappear if it's not true?! What we know is this is Santa's footprint on the Moon. -

St. Patrick's Day and Santa and the Leprechaun Children like all families; here at Santa’s Village we also have our day to day problems. Well one day Maurice the Mouse knocked on my office door. “Come in Maurice” I said, “What can I do for you?” Maurice said, “Santa I was in the grotto the other day and I saw a group of little green men and when they saw me they ran away, Santa I was the one that was scared.” I assured Maurice everything would be alright and that Santa would sort it out and let him know the outcome. That night instead of going to bed I went down to the grotto; I… -

Digital Photos Stuck on your Computer?
Now that digital cameras have replaced the film camera as the number one way that people capture their photos, you need new and unique ways to display all your digital photos. Does this sound like you?: Bought a digital camera, took thousands of photos, loaded all of them onto your computer, since then nobody has seen any of them. Well you are not alone. There are a lot of unique products on the market today that allow you to display your photos statically (one photo at a time). These products range from coffee mugs, mouse pads, and calendars, to coasters, puzzles, and playing cards. However,…

The Grinch Stole Christmas: Retail Sales Plunged 4 Percent in December

Waste-Free, Low-Cost Ways to Wrap Your Presents
My childhood Christmases involved a lot of cleaning. What's more fun for a kid than tearing into a giant present, doing whatever it took to get the paper off and the box open as soon as possible? Afterwards, once our living room was blanketed in paper pieces, my dad would bring out a trash bag for us to scoop up all of the snowman and Santa-printed paper and throw it out. A beautifully-wrapped gift is part of the magic of the holiday season, of course, but in tough times, it's hard to justify spending money on something as immediately disposable as wrapping paper, especially when you consider… -

How to Help Kids Handle Holidays in Tough Times
Lots of kids aren't going to find what they asked for under the tree this Christmas, and lots of parents are stressed out about not being able to deliver a perfect holiday. Four fifths of people expect a stressful holiday because of the economy this December, according to a new poll from the American Psychological Association, and the number's even higher among parents. I'm a minimalist when it comes to Christmas loot, but I've still had a hard time telling myself that it's OK to give the kids less this year. So, I called Mary Alvord, a psychologist in Rockville, Md., who serves as a public…

Grasp
2 Jul 2009 | 4:20 pmWhen I was 16 I wrote a series called Grasp. This is where I got the name for this blog. It is so reminiscent of my younger years. At the time I was living in Florida and taking in a good amount of hallucinogens. I was always drawn to LSD because it forced me to step outside of myself and see things I couldn’t see sober. I was fascinated by the power it held. My eyes have seen a lot of strange things, some bad and some good. These writings, I feel, were developed due to the overabundance of LSD I took among the years. I came across them and thought I would share. -

So I came home to regroup and think about where to go next. All of my friends were gone to college or jobs, so it was just me. I had planned on doing nothing really. I never had a job, I didn’t need to go anywhere, I thought I’d sit home and read and watch tv. But my family thought otherwise, so I went to get a job. It was at this job that I first saw my husband to be. I didn’t know it then and I didn’t know him… -

Customs of Christmas radio piece
2 Jul 2009 | 7:21 pmWhen I was growing up there was a radio station in Albany, NY, that had a Christmas show starting at 6:00 pm Christmas Eve lasting until midnight Christmas day called The 30 Hours Of Christmas. During those 30 hours they played what I'm calling a filler piece, for lack of a better term, called the Customs Of Christmas. It consisted of several pieces, each about 3 minutes long, each explaining the origin of one of the customs of Christmas. One piece was on Santa Claus, another on the poinsettia, and so one. It seems, if my memory is correct, that the last line of each piece was "and… -

How to live
16 May 2009 | 8:07 pmSince September last year I have been doing Landmark Education’s ‘Curriculum for Living,’ a set of three courses about how to live. You would think that having just had my 48th birthday a week ago I would have known how to live. But not at all. Until last September I was struggling every day of my life with feelings of rage against my mother, feelings I had had in some form for more than 30 years. It seems that when I was a teenager I made some decision about who my mother was for me, and who I was for her, and this decision — disguised and unexamined — has… -

That’s just a pretty generic holiday song. :/ If we’re done with all the disclaimers and such, I’d like to chat about holidays in literature. The best example of holiday usage in fantasy would have to be in Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising. It takes place the days before and/or after Christmas (can’t remember). I liked it because it had connections to ancient beliefs about the holiday season. Please tell me if I’m butchering this, but this is… -

Comments on Multiculturalism
15 Mar 2009 | 9:07 amOver the past two decades, the western world has been subjected to the ideas of diversity and multiculturalism. These ideas state that diversity is an amazing answer to so many problems we face and that we should do everything we can to be as diverse as we can. When this statement failed to have significant buy-in, laws were passed to make it so ranging from hiring / firing quotas to even having a certain number of contracts being awarded to ‘minority owned’ bidders regardless of experience or even price. No longer would the bidding war be about quality of service and…

History of the 4th of July: Thomas Jefferson
2 Jul 2009 | 12:00 amHISTORY OF THE 4th OF JULY: THOMAS JEFFERSON Perhaps no one person is more associated with the 4th of July in American History than Thomas Jefferson, probably because it was his hand that penned the immortal Declaration of Independence. As my friend Clay Jenkinson — who has been portraying Jefferson for over 20 years — says in his book Thomas Jefferson: The Man of Light: “The Third President is the Muse of American life, the chief articulator of our national value system and our national self-identity. Jefferson was a man of almost unbelievable achievement: statesman, man of… -

It is the greatest secular holiday of the United States, observed in all the states, territories and dependencies. Although it is assumed that the Continental Congress unanimously signed the document on the 4th of July, in fact not all delegates were present and there were no signers at all. Here is what really happened. The… -
History of July
30 Jun 2009 | 12:00 amHISTORY OF JULY The month of July was renamed for Julius Caesar, who was born in that month. Prior to that, it was called Quintilis in Latin meaning the fifth month in the ancient Roman calendar. This was before January became the first month of the calendar year about the year 450 BC. We currently use the more recent Gregorian calendar — recent as in AD 1582 — which makes use of Anno Domini, meaning “in the year of our Lord” counting from the birth of Jesus. As we’ve previously discussed, in this calendar Jesus was born curiously 4 to 6 years BC or… -

This is also known as the Northern Solstice as the Sun is positioned directly above the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere.

This was the beginning of Cain’s downward slide. Scholars have debated for ages why Mother’s Day seems to be more honored than Father’s Day. A parallel has been drawn between this phenomenon and that of the difference in popularity between the Irish patron saint and the Italian patron saint. The noted scholar, Father Guido Sarducci, papal legate and…
