Ata-Meken | christmas party favors

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

The Ata-Meken (The Fatherland Socialist Party) is a political party in Kyrgyzstan. Its current Chairman and founder is Omurbek Tekebayev, who is ex-speaker of the Kyrgyz Parliament. The party was registered on December 16, 1992 following a split between Tekebayev and the conservative Erkin Kyrgyzstan party.

The party’s platform calls for a democratic state, economic reforms and evolutionary social development. It favors reasonable compromise between various social sectors and government bodies. The party supported Tekebayev in the 2000 Presidential elections, where he came second with 14%. On May 20, 2004 the party joined the For Fair Elections electoral alliance in preparing for the February 2005 parliamentary elections.

The party won one seat in the first round of the 2005 parliamentary elections. However, following the 2005 Tulip Revolution, the future of the party remains unclear.

The Muppets at Walt Disney World | Walt Disney World

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

The Muppets at Walt Disney World is a television special starring Jim Henson’s Muppets at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. This was the last Muppets project that Jim Henson worked on before his death on May 16, 1990.

The story ends with the Muppets having a friendly meeting at Mickey Mouse’s office where the signature characters of Walt Disney and Jim Henson compare their companies’ theme songs, “When You Wish Upon a Star” and “Rainbow Connection” respectively and the ideals behind them.

    Step dance | Step

    Saturday, February 16th, 2008

    Step dance is the generic term for dance styles where the footwork is the most important part of the dance. Body and arm movements and styling are either restricted or considered irrelevant.

    Step dance is one end of a spectrum of dance styles. The opposite extreme is Formation dances (eg Square dance), where the movement patterns around the dance floor and armwork are the most important factors, and the footwork is very simple. Most social dances fall between these two extremes.

    There are very few pure step dances, as most include at least some upper body or arm styling. Often step dances performed in shows add elements of show styling, which can bring them into conflict with the traditionalists.

    The Irish dance tradition includes Irish stepdance, possibly the best known form of step dance, often marked by rigidly held upper body. Irish stepdance has two main forms: hardshoe, a percussive dance form, and light shoe, a form which is primarily about the movement, not the sound.

    Other step dances include Tap, Clogging, Canadian step dance, Cape Breton step dance, some forms of Scots and English folk dance and Malambo from Argentina.

    Another form of step dancing, Stepping, has been popularized by National Pan-Hellenic Council. This step dance has African roots and is an African American tradition as well as part of Black History. The members of the fraternities and sororities join in steps — elaborate synchronized group routines that are performed in competitions between the fraternities and sororities called “step shows.” Step shows incorporates cheerleading, military, and drill-team moves, especially the call-and-response element inherent in those forms. These aspects are not only important to the energy of stepping for entertainment use but also for bonding and pride within their organizations.

    Snickerdoodle | Cookies

    Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

    A snickerdoodle is a soft sugar cookie rolled in cinnamon sugar. It has a characteristically crackly surface, and can be crisp or soft, depending on preference.
    Some variants include nutmeg, raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts. In modern recipes, the leavening agent is usually cream of tartar which, in baking, is most commonly used in cakes but not often in cookies.


    Origins

    Imported from different countries of the world the original American cookie came from English, Scottish and Dutch immigrants. Snickerdoodles’ name along with another famous small flat sweet cake, cry babies, derived from the New England states. Not until about one hundred years ago did cookies become prevalent. American cookbooks did not hold a special section for cookie recipes but were thrown in the back of the cake section. They were presented with absurd names such as “Jumbles,” “Plunkets,” and “Cry babies”. Cookbooks seem to have as much flavor and culture as from the region they are from. New England cook books are known for having out-of-the-ordinary names for their prepared dishes, with no deeper purpose but for the joy of saying them. These “out of the ordinary names” consist of Graham Jakes, Jolly Boys, Branbie, Tangle Breeches and Kinkawoodles. Although Snickerdoodles have become a tasty delicacy in this region of America, the question remains, where did they originate? Various food historians have proved that there are biscuits and cookies that are similar to the Snickerdoodle that have been recorded in the Ancient Roman era and Medieval Europe. In Renaissance England, a cookie called a “jumble” (Olver, 2007) was popular in the cuisine. Later, Germans were known to have added more spices and a variety of different dried fruits, eventually evolving into the gingerbread cookie. Cookbooks from the 18th and 19th centuries have also been known to contain cookie recipes comparable to the Snickerdoodle cookie.

    The originating of the name “Snickerdoodle” has been a very irksome question. There are theories as to where it derived, such as from a children’s book. According to Lynn Olver, “the word `snicker’ may have come from a Dutch word `snekrad,’ or the German word `Schnecke,` both describing a snail-like shape.” With so little information on the Snickerdoodle, it is difficult to find evidence as to where the “doodle” part of the name came from.

    Between the two sources, one focused more on the origin while the other centered more on the name and how it came to be. Both alluded to the idea that the background and name originated in Germany. However, the first article tended to go more into depth. We feel that these two articles did a great job getting their messages across and we were able to understand them to the fullest extent.

    The Rooms | John’s Christmas Party

    Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

    The Rooms is a cultural facility in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It houses the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador, the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Provincial Museum of Newfoundland and Labrador. On a hill overlooking the port city, it can be seen from almost any point in St. John’s.

    The facility was officially opened on June 29, 2005. The building’s architecture and name is a reference to the simple gable-roofed sheds (called “fishing rooms”) that were once so common at the waterline in Newfoundland fishing villages.

    The grand building, whose glass form is extravagant in and of itself, offers a stunning view of downtown St. John’s and her architecture, St. John’s Harbour, and Signal Hill.
