Readers Love The Forum Shops: Don’t take our word for it, the readers have spoken and they love The Forum Shops. Las Vegas Weekly recently named it “Best Place to People Watch on the Strip.” In the July/August issue of Nevada Magazine, the publication lauded the shopping venue as one of the “Best Places to Shop.”
A Forum First – Roman Streetscape: When shoppers arrive, one immediate experience they encounter is the ambience. When The Forum Shops debuted in 1992, this was the arena shoppers first experienced the fantasy recreation of an ancient Roman Forum streetscape with classic columns and arches whose painted skies reflected the change from sunrise to sunset. Central piazzas also feature ornate fountains and the classic statuary, Fountain of the Gods reflecting that of an ancient forum in towns, where the center was created to be the formal area that led people to the marketplace.
July’s Beat The Heat Month: No, really, Las Vegas is hot, for many more reasons than one. To get locals and visitors outta the heat, The Forum Shops has a special offer for the month of July. Shoppers can bring their receipts to concierge as their entry to win a shopping gift card. The Forum Shops will draw the winning receipt on Monday, Aug. 2 and whatever the temperature will be from Saturday, July 31, that will be the amount of the gift card. The winner does not need to be present to win.
La Martina Opens: Just opened at The Forum Shops, La Martina is the official supplier in the world of the sport of polo. They approach business the same way a high scoring polo player approaches polo - with passion, devotion and the utmost commitment to excellence. The store’s concept includes leather outfits, polos and shirts for men, women and kids, as well as accessories such as belts, bags, shoes, hats and more. Each and every product at La Martina is carefully designed, produced and tested to ensure it fulfills necessary quality standards required to compete and win at the very best tournaments all over the world. La Martina benefits from a close relationship with many of the most prestigious clubs, tournaments and players, fulfilling the demands of this incredible sport.
Forum Fashion Forward Tip – Summer: The dog days of summer were made for shopping at The Forum Shops! Tommy Bahama’s island and beachwear is perfect for summer gear. Cover up from the sun with one of the new hats at Anthropologie. Versace’s sunglasses will always keep you cool even when you’re hot. Ferragamo’s summer sandals or Tory Burch flip flops will keep the feet comfortable even when it’s 100-and-a-lot outside. Finally, for the perfect tote, Michael Kors’ extra large bags make room for the magazines, towels and suntan oil.
Part of the perks of being a “Canine Correspondent” is that I get to cover stories that I find personally fulfilling and also items that will have an impact on my readers. One of my pals on Facebook is Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog and recently I had the opportunity to sit down over a couple of bones and chat. Here is the interview as it unfolded..enjoy!
What does a full day of work mean for you?
Each day, I wake up excited to help Firefighter Dayna with all of the fun fire safety projects that she has planned for the day. Every day is different, so it makes it really fun!
Here’s an example of a typical day:
Have a yummy breakfast.
Answer fire safety questions that children submit on my website (www.sparklesthefiresafetydog.com)
Help Firefighter Dayna with new ideas to help keep children safe, such as new coloring pages.
Answer questions that bloggers and the media has for me. We love bloggers and the media because they help us share the fire safety message, just like you, Lola Belle!
Help my friend, Tango, practice his fire safety tricks (he’s learning how to become a fire safety dog).
Take another nap (Fire safety dogs need their rest!)
Pawtograph my children’s fire safety book, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog, for people that order my book.
Help mom work on her three new books; a revision of my first book, Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog (to be released in July), Sparkles Goes to Boston (to be released in October) and a really cool new coloring book (Summer 2010 release date)!
Take a big long nap (zzzzzzz)
Spend more time on Facebook
Answer questions for teachers that are interested in having us visit their classrooms either in person or via Skype.
Help mom with my foundation, the Keep Kids Fire Safe Foundation (http://www.keepkidsfiresafe.org). The foundation is dedicated to helping keep children and their caregivers fire safe and provides fire safety educational materials for children, parents, fire departments, schools and organizations at little or no cost. We are always looking for ways to raise money to help be able to do this! If you would like to help, please let us know! We would be forever grateful! You can become one of Sparkles’ Angels (http://www.keepkidsfiresafe.org/sparkles_angels.html)!
Play with mom and Tango.
Go out to the fire station to visit with the firefighters.
Eat dinner.
Sleep while mom works on more fire safety projects (she works until 2 or 3 in the morning while I sleep keeping her company).
The next day, I wake up and do it all again!
I can imagine that you feel very happy when you help children learn? Is there anyway you can describe the feelings that you have?
There is nothing like it, Lola Belle! I love when children share with me that they are doing things in their home to help keep them and their families safe from fire. There are a lot of very special Jr. Firefighters out there!
What do you do for relaxation?
I love to have a pawdicure. My mom paints my toenails fire engine red. I also love it when she gives me a massage and hugs me. It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside!
You were on Times Square in New York that must have been pawsome!! Do you have any feelings to describe this and what led up to it?
I was so excited, Lola Belle! I’ve been sharing fire safety tips on PBS KIDS Sprout for almost four years now (http://www.sproutonline.com/firesafety), thanks to my great friends at Sprout. Last year, I was really excited when our picture was on the jumbotron at Times Square and where you live, Las Vegas! I could hardly believe it! It was really fun watching my mom when she saw the picture. She was so happy her eyes leaked. We love sharing the fire safety message and anytime that people (and dogs like you!) help share fire safety, we love it!
Any more goals that you would like to accomplish this year?
My main goal in life is to help save lives, reduce injuries and decrease property loss from fire. If I can help raise awareness about the work of the foundation and help raise money so that we can help provide materials to children, I would be so happy!
I am so excited about the new books coming out and will be helping Firefighter Dayna work on a couple more this fall. We also will be doing Skype visits to schools this fall. Can’t wait!
Am helping Firefighter Dayna with a couple of exciting projects as well, but she won’t let me spill the beans! If you become my friend on Facebook, you will know what those projects are before anyone else! How cool is that?
What is your favorite treat?
I love, love, love strawberries! Yummy!
Can a school or corporation sponsor you?
I would love to have a sponsor! Mom and I pay for everything out of our own pockets and to have help, whether it be something as simple as doing graphic design work or helping us financially, would be a tremendous gift! Sponsors would help us save lives!
What message would you like to leave the readers of the blog?
Fire safety is something that you need to think about every day. It’s easy to think that fire won’t happen to you, but honestly, it CAN happen to you. Your home can become totally engulfed in flames in less than three minutes. Be prepared. Make a plan with your family and practice it. Have working smoke alarms in your home.
It is almost the fourth of July, so please remember to leave fireworks to the professionals!
And most of all, practice fire safety EVERY DAY!
Thank you so much, Lola Belle, for helping share the fire safety message! Firefighter Dayna and I are going to make you an honorary fire safety dog for the day!
What a great interview! Sparkles does so much to help out and the children really remember how to drop and roll once it is demonstrated by a canine pal. So if any businesses or individuals are looking for a great cause to sponsor or help out with…look no further! And now we are off for a relaxing pawdicure where the recorder will be turned off, and will be followed by belly rubs and hopefully treats!!Will enjoy my day as a Fire Safety DOG!
The first half of the year is over and I have read a total of 65 books so far. I'm hoping to read about 250 so I've got a bit of a way to go.
As far as June goes I read a total of 13 books and received a total of 2 books. So when it comes to reducing my tbr pile I'm doing alright. I'd like to get the majority of my tbr pile read over the next half of the year though so we'll see how we go.
I had a heap of fun with June. I was also super busy with exams but just after my exams I took part in Kristen's read-a-thon and got a lot read through that.
The books I read in June were:
Guardian of the Dead by Karen Healey
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott
Deathnote Volume 4: Love by Tsugumi Ohba
Nightlight by The Harvard Lampoon
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Tyger Tyger by Kersten Hamilton
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
The Mermaid's Mirror by C.K Madigan
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams
Killer by Sara Shepard
Dead is Just a Rumour by Marlene Perez
Losing It by Sandy McKay
Fallen by Lauren Kate
My favourite of these would have to be Killer by Sara Shepard.
Also, this month I am taking part in Jo at Once Upon a Bookcase's Body Image and Self Perception Month so look out for some posts concerning those issues later on in the month. For more information head over to Jo's website here!
As far as changes go for this month. I will be putting up a poll each month with a list of ten books that are in my tbr pile and you can choose which one you would really like me to read and review for that month. I think by doing this it will urge me to read some of the books that I'm not 100% sure about.
Also, Scarlett will be away on holiday at the start of this month so she won't be posting until later on in the month.
Lastly, I have a twitter now. So if you wanna follow me on twitter my username is RebeccaReads3 and basically, if you follow me I'll definitely follow you back. I'm new to this twitter thing so yeah.
I think thats about all I have to say for June, welcome to July and I shall be heading off for today is my birthday.Source URL: https://free1image.blogspot.com/2010/06/ Visit free image for daily updated images of art collection

A mega-hip Mexican cantina, Pink Taco is a folk-art bedecked hotspot adorned with classic low-rider bicycles, unique tables that leave guests’ feet dangling and an assortment of authentic Mexican craftwork that decorate the dining room.

Summary: Flatland is a two-dimensional world inhabited by sentient geometric shapes who think their planar world is all there is. But one Flatlander, a Square, discovers the existence of a third dimension and the limits of his world's assumptions about reality and comes to understand the confusing problem of higher dimensions. (Taken from Goodreads)
Review: If you like mathematics and geometry even more specifically then I think you will enjoy Flatland. Much like a mathematical essay for the most part it is actually a really interesting book. I do enjoy mathematics I think it's a fascinating subject and this book was a truly amazing read.
Bascially Flatland has one character mainly, so really there isn't a lot of character development but for this sort of book that didn't bother me too much because I was more interested in the story and the idea of another universe of only 2 dimensions just seemed really really interested.
I loved the language of the book. It just seems really refreshing to read in a similar language to that of Shakespeare's. I think it's because the book was written in the late 1800's but it's still a really good book.
There's not a lot else to say about Flatland other than if you like mathematics and geometry in particular then give Flatland a go. It's a really good classic.
