The National Trust for Historic Preservation stresses that "…selecting the proper contractor and architect is crucial to your project's overall success" when renovating your historic home. If you are looking to make historic renovations to your Boulder home, look no further than KBC Remodeling Services of Longmont. Below is a list compiled from the National Trust to help navigate the exciting process of making historic renovations!
Make a List of Possible Firms: Check with other historic homeowners, local historical societies, house museums, the preservation review board, American Institute of Architects chapter and State Historic Preservation Officer to compile a list of contractors.
Do Your Research: A lot of information can be gleaned from the contractors' websites; look at the types of projects that are highlighted to see if they match the scale and scope of your plans.
Talk to Several Candidates: At this point in your research, it is time to make calls to potential contractors to request a sample of completed projects, ask about billing policies and schedule a visit. If a contractor cannot take on your project, ask for recommendations of other firms.
Arrange a Site Visit: For the most in-depth and accurate assessment of the forecasted project, ask if both the contractor and architect can come to your Boulder home to discuss proposed historic renovations.
Check Qualifications: It's a good idea to call the contractor's insurance company and/or private bond issuer to verify their standing. Also ask to see their Contractor's Qualifications Statement and be sure they are licensed.
Written Contract: A contract should always be signed to insure that both sides have agreed to the expectations and timeline. Before any work begins, consider bolstering your home owner's insurance for the upcoming construction period because even though the contractor should have insurance coverage, their plan might not cover every possibility.
Retainage Clause: As part of the contract, this clause states that the final payment is not due before the homeowner deems the project functionally complete.
Lien Waiver: This document should be signed by the contractor once they are paid in full and the job is complete. It states that the terms of the contract have been met and the material suppliers, subcontractors and/or vendors have also been paid in full.
The professional and experienced staff at KBC Remodeling Services of Longmont love working on historic renovations of Boulder homes and look forward to making the character of your unique property shine once again!

In some cases, there are reasons to suggest that there is a link between casino games and video games, especially when you consider some slots are now themed. While you can find those which are based on movies and television series, there are also some which are based around video game titles as well.
Why does a link exist between the two?
The best industry software developers are always on the lookout for new ideas in order to differentiate their slot offering and video games represent a unique idea for providing more choice, not only to online casinos but also to the players themselves.
One of the reasons why this presents such a great opportunity is that there are so many different ways in which software providers can create new slots by leveraging the various themes.
Also, in the last few years, the graphic quality of slots has got considerably better and as a result of this, it can be argued that they look on par with video games in comparison. How the story of the slots unfold as well could be related to video games from the perspective of engrossing the players.
We reached out to online casino comparison website, Casino Sites, who highlighted that there is a strong link between video games and casino games: "There is definitely ample evidence to suggest that there is a crossover between the two and that is likely to become stronger over the next few years as slot games become more advanced."
Most popular video game inspired slots
There are now more slots that have been inspired by video games than ever before, so let's take a look at some of the ones which attract the most attention.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider
While this has since been made into a movie, the original title was for a video game that was based on all-action adventure. There have been comparisons made to the hit movie 'Indiana Jones' as the two have similar themes.
The slot itself makes use of exquisite imagery and because of this, you could almost be playing the video game so it is easy to forget you are playing a slot game.
Another hugely popular video game in its day, this can still be regarded essentially as a timeless classic. Due to the cult-like following that the game has, this made it easy for online casinos to draw in new players, who might not necessarily be particularly interested in slots otherwise. Boasting a great deal of interesting wilds which you can transform into wins, you definitely get an interesting experience.
Arguably one of the most sought after video games in the world due to its almost life-like realism of war, this can be classed as an easy win for software developer Playtech. Featuring stunning graphics and plenty of opportunities to win, there is no doubt that this casino game will continue to gather fans.

Size: Individuals of this species have a carapace size of 2.5 cm in width and 1.8 cm in length.
These crabs live on the bottom of the intertidal zone, burrowing in sandy and muddy substrates exposed at low tide, and are also found in holes on muddy sandflats and in mangrove lagoons. They spend minimal time on the surface or remain partially buried even when the tide is out. Being robust and slow-moving carnivores hunting for macrofauna they have strong and sharply toothed chelae with a wide gap for seizing and tearing food items, with one claw enlarged and specialized as a powerful crusher, adapted to deal with hard prey such as mollusks or other crabs.
Eurycarcinus orientalis ranges in the Indian Ocean from the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Gulf eastward to Pakistan, India and Thailand.
Eurycarcinus orientalis has not yet been assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Despite their common name "hairy crabs", many members of the crab family Pilumnidae – including this species – do not really have a hairy appearance. In fact, the broad and convex carapace of this small-sized crab has a smooth and shiny surface. It is transversely oval, with the anterolateral margins distinctly shorter than two-thirds of the length of the posterolateral margins. Its front is moderately broad and straight, squarish and obscurely incised in the midline. The anterolateral margin has three thin notches that cut it into four shallow lobes or teeth, with the first two gently rounded and the last two sharply pointed anteriorly. The claws, or chelae, on the first pair of legs (chelipeds) are robust and perfectly smooth, with only the outer surface of palm and wrist granular and the inner angle of the wrist strongly pronounced. The fingers have pointed and hooked tips and teeth on their cutting edge. The two chelipeds are markedly unequal, with the thumb of the larger chela bearing an enlarged tooth at its base. The narrow abdomen is very short and flattened and typically folded underneath the body. In males, all abdominal segments are freely movable (instead of fused), which is a diagnostic character to distinguish a species of this family from those of similar families. The ground color is white, with patches of pinkish purple on the carapace, the finger and thumb of the chelae are darker.

The Chairman, Community Development Committee Onne, Mr Martin Olaka, has called on IITA-Onne to collaborate in tarring the access road linking the station to the town. He made this known during a courtesy visit to the station on 6 December. He said the intervention will open up development in the area and create contribute to the smooth operation of research activities.
Olaka stated that the road construction should start this December as he would involve other bodies that will facilitate the completion of the project.
Dr Richardson Okechukwu, Head, IITA-Onne Station, in welcoming the delegates, said the road intervention is apt at this time when the rains have stopped; he expressed his appreciation to the Community Development Committee for extending the hand of cooperation.
Months earlier, the newly appointed Onne Youth Executives were in IITA on a familiarization visit. They expressed their thanks to IITA for the commitment in training unemployed youths in agriculture. They said that this proves the readiness and unequivocal commitment of the institute in empowering youths in the South-South and South-East Zones of Nigeria.

In relation with third countries, the defense of multilateralism, the opening of markets and the promotion of an ambitious EU trade policy are required. It will be necessary to monitor and adapt EU trade policy to improve transparency and fight against unfair practices more effectively.
This "adaptation" is at the heart of the Manifesto and is undoubtedly the response to the European Commission's decision in the Alstom/Siemens merger. Even if this Manifesto does not explicitly refer to the Alstom/Siemens merger, the part on the adaptation of the regulatory framework and in particular the desire to reform European merger control rules leaves no doubt that this is a clear reaction of the French and German governments not to let such a merger fail.
consider whether a right of appeal of the Council which could ultimately override Commission decisions could be appropriate in well-defined cases, subject to strict conditions".
It is not clear at this stage which "consideration" the first point refers to.
On the other hand, the second and third points are very clear.
The second point seeks to ensure that the "Chinese threat" (or from any other emerging country) should be systematically taken into account in the assessment of a merger. However, this type of threat is already included in the analysis under potential competition. If the Commission has not accepted that the Chinese threat did not counterbalance Alstom/Siemens' market power, it is because CRCC was not a credible potential competitor according to the Commission. It "concluded that it was unlikely that new competitors, in particular potential Chinese suppliers, would enter the markets for rolling stock and signaling equipment in the EEA in the foreseeable future."
It is not really a question of "flexibility in the assessment of relevant markets" but rather how to define potential competition. Vast subject.
The third point is also clear. The aim is to allow politics to override the decisions of the European Commission.
In France, when the responsibility for merger control was transferred from the Minister of the Economy to the French Competition Authority, an independent administrative authority, it was decided (by tradition?) to leave a power of "evocation" to this Minister. He may, "on grounds of general interest other than the maintenance of competition, in particular, industrial development, the competitiveness of the companies concerned as regards international competition or the creation or safeguarding of jobs2 "" take a decision which will replace the decision taken by the Competition Authority.
The Manifesto aims at setting up a similar procedure. The determination of the "well-defined cases" and "strict conditions" is particularly difficult in view of the sometimes divergent interests of the Member States.
There is no doubt that the implementation of the measures provided for in the Manifesto will enter into the debate when the next European Commission is set up and established.
The current Commission has also planned to have an impact in this debate: the Commissioner for Competition stated yesterday that the functioning of the European competition rules should not be called into question because of a single particularly specific merger, with an explicit message to economic operators: "this merger could have been carried out if we had been able to solve the two remaining problems on signaling systems and high-speed trains", i.e. if Alstom and Siemens had offered commitments other than those they had proposed.

Home/Film/Movie Review: Zombieland
How much fun can one have at an amusement park? One dead zombie, two dead zombies, LOTS of dead zombies!
Movie Review: Zombieland
Cinenerd October 2, 2009	2 Comments 59 Views
In the annals of zombie movies there's definitely a broad spectrum of the good, the bad, and the ugly. It may not be my favorite sub-genre of horror but I do enjoy my fair share of the undead rising from the grave to munch on hapless passersby. Whether it be straight-out horror to the occasionally played as thriller to the outright loving spoof, there are a great many varieties when it comes to zombie films.
Over the last few years there have been a lot of zombie movies. Some of the better ones include: 2004's Dawn of the Dead, the British goods Boy Eats Girl and Shaun of the Dead, Planet Terror, and of course the great duo 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The independent market seems to be the place to find most of the more expendable flicks but there are way more in that department not worth mentioning..
This year has seen possibly only one other great horror film, Drag Me to Hell, but thankfully with Halloween fast approaching and October finally upon us we have at least one more film to be thankful for — Zombieland. This may be director Ruben Fleischer's first feature film, but in no way does it ever become apparent. With a fusion of Zack Snyder (lots of slow motion but never an overuse), some very black humor, a brilliant sense of self-awareness, and its finger brilliantly on the pulse of pop culture comes a splatacular little movie that quickly moves to the top of the best films of the year. Yes, even if it happens to be a zombie movie.
While this is Paul Wernick's first outing as feature film writer, co-writer Rhett Reese has some surprising credits behind him – Cruel Intentions 3, and the kid films Clifford's Really Big Movie, Pixar's Monsters, Inc., and Disney's Tarzan II and Dinosaurs. Not particularly the type of films to generate a hilariously balls-out, red Karo syrup-splattered, scare-filled zombie feature. But, just like the writing team behind Cats and Dogs' Glen Ficarra and John Requa brought us Bad Santa, I guess everyone's allowed to have a few tricks up their sleeves.
Jesse Eisenberg could be instantly played off as a Michael Cera wannabe if he wasn't such an incredibly better actor. In his first few appearances, in The Village, Cursed, and The Squid and the Whale, he brought instantly likable characters to at least two instantly forgettable films. Last seen in Adventureland he now brings us a double feature year that should hopefully keep him prominently placed in lead roles after his hilariously endearing goofball turn here.
Woody Harrelson may be a bigger name than the rest of the cast but that has more to do with how long he's been around. Playing a pair of sisters, Emma Stone (Superbad and The House Bunny) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine herself) bring on the funny as they outwit the mismatched, bickering odd couple of Eisenberg and Harrelson at every turn.
The world has been taken over by zombies. That's the plain premise the film wastes no time explaining and moving on from. Columbus (Eisenberg) is seemingly the last man alive in Texas and is headed east in hopes of finding his family still alive. While walking a vacated highway he is picked up by Tallahassee (Harrelson) after a very quick Sergio Leone stand-off. Tallahassee is instantly annoyed by Columbus but appears to be very much in need of company to keep himself from going completely insane in an unpopulated world. After a hunt for Twinkies in a convenience store lands them getting car-jacked by Wichita (Stone) and Little Rock (Breslin) they serendipitously meet up again later and decide to join forces to head west to an abandoned amusement park where Wichita can let Little Rock have the chance to be a kid at least one more time.
Encounters are had and everyone gets their moment to be a hero as the cast hilariously marches towards the end of the runtime. Director Fleischer gives us a Speedy Gonzales breakneck pace and brings on the scary when the timing is right even if it happens to coincide with yet another hilarious line of dialogue.
The best part of the film is that it definitely will take a few viewings to catch all the spectacularly penned one-liners sprinkled throughout a very rare zombie movie that has its meat cake and gets to eat it too with a great amount of heart thrown into the mix for good measure. It's not too big of a shock that this is being released so early into the month as I am sure that just like myself, everyone who sees it will have a great hunger to see it over and over again.

Above the Law (also known as Nico) is a 1988 film directed by Andrew Davis. He also co-produced the film with Steven Seagal and co-wrote the screenplay with Steven Pressfield and Ronald Shusett. It is based on an original story devised by Steven Seagal and Andrew Davis. The film stars Steven Seagal, Pam Grier, Sharon Stone, Daniel Faraldo and Henry Silva.
The storyline follows Sergeant Nico Toscani, a native of Palermo, is a detective in the Chicago Police Department's vice squad. Before joining the Chicago PD he was recruited into the CIA by Special Agent Nelson Fox. He was involved in covert operations on the Vietnamese-Cambodian border during the Vietnam War. Whilst there he became disgusted with the station chief Kurt Zagon, due to his ethics in torturing POWs. A stand-off occurs when he tries to stop a torture session and he leaves the CIA. Returns to Chicago and joins the CPD. While working for the CPD he investigates a drug ring and finds a cache of C4 explosives. What follows sees the FBI involved and told not to proceed with the investigation. Undeterred, Nico follows a path just as corrupt as when he was in the CIA and eventually leads to Zagon.
The production and filming was completed entirely in Chicago, Illinois. It is rumoured that Steven Seagal was asked to make the film by his former aikido pupil, Michael Ovitz, who believed that he could make anyone a movie star.
Upon its release Above the Law received mixed reviews with Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times stated "It contains 50 percent more plot than it needs, but that allows it room to grow in areas not ordinarily covered in action thrillers". However, Hal Hinson of the Washington Post criticised it as "woefully short on originality".
Produced on an estimated budget of $7.5m it is considered a financial success. Above the Law made $2,037,938 in its opening weekend and grossed $18,869,631 in overall box office receipts in the US.

Eight Nova Scotia companies have been awarded contracts for the Dartmouth General Hospital expansion and renovation.
Government issued the contracts today, April 28, as part of the QEII redevelopment project.
— Atlantica Mechanical Contractors Inc., Burnside.
The contracts will provide for site services, excavation, underground services, foundations and structural concrete for the new addition and a new emergency generator building. It also includes renovation of the loading dock area, elevators for the new addition and relocation of the bulk oxygen storage tanks.
The total cost of these tenders is about $12 million. Construction will begin in early May.
This is the first of three construction service tenders for the Dartmouth General Hospital. The second tender package is expected to be issued in late spring.
The expansion and renovations at the Dartmouth General will result in space for 48 beds on the fifth floor plus eight new operating rooms to replace four existing suites. It also includes extensive upgrades to outpatient and diagnostic imaging areas.

PHOTO: Erika Jayne Makes First Public Appearance Since Divorce Filing As Sources Confirm RHOBH Star is "Sad" Amid Split From Tom and Share If She's Dating

Erika Jayne made her first public appearance this week since she announced her split from her husband.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was spotted during a girls' night out on Thursday night, hitting up Italian restaurant Fia with a few friends in Santa Monica. This outing marks the first time Erika's been seen since filing for divorce from her husband of 21 years, Thomas Girardi, on November 3.
The 49-yr-old reality star donned a sleek Fendi jacket, black pencil skirt, and knee-high black boots for the occasion, reportedly ordering a delicious meal of corn, scallops, and broccolini as she enjoyed some time with her girlfriends.

The outing was ostensibly girls-only, and despite the ongoing rumors claiming that Erika might have a secret beau, an insider told E! News that the pop singer wasn't looking to mingle with any new flames just yet.
"It's too soon to date, she's not ready," the source said. "She's sad but trying to keep her spirits up. Most of her castmates have been very supportive which she appreciates."
Erika announced she was separating from Tom on November 3 and requested spousal support from the lawyer and payment for her attorney fees. She also confirmed she didn't know the details of Tom's assets and debts.
In the weeks since the breakup, there was talk of cheating on both sides as some accused Erika of sleeping with someone else "for years" and Tom of having a girlfriend, although nothing was officially confirmed.
It was also noted since their split that the couple had an "unconventional marriage" and were amicable about going their separate ways.
"[They spent] a lot of time apart. Several months," a source explained to Us Weekly. "They would travel separately. Tom gave Erika a very lavish lifestyle, and she enjoyed it."

Well Spring is here and so is running season and thus I will be posting information regarding running. Here is the first article I found that I treat every day at our Ottawa Physiotherapy clinics.
Forty-two percent of all overuse injuries affect the knee joint, and patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), or simply "runner's knee," is the most common overuse injury among runners. It occurs when a mistracking kneecap (patella) irritates the femoral groove in which it rests on the thighbone (femur). Pinpointing a single cause is difficult, says Stephen Pribut, DPM, a sports podiatrist who specializes in running injuries. It could be a biomechanical problem—the patella may be larger on the outside than it is on the inside, it may sit too high in the femoral groove, or it may dislocate easily. Also, worn cartilage in the knee joint reduces shock absorption, high-arched feet provide less cushioning, and flat feet or knees that turn in or out excessively can pull the patella sideways. There are also muscular causes. Tight hamstring and calf muscles put pressure on the knee, and weak quadriceps muscles can cause the patella to track out of alignment. Just the repetitive force of a normal running stride alone can be enough to provoke an attack.
Symptoms include tenderness behind or around the patella, usually toward its center. You may feel pain toward the back of the knee, a sense of cracking or that the knee's giving out. Steps, hills, and uneven terrain can aggravate PFPS.
At the first sign of pain, cut back your mileage. The sooner you lessen the knee's workload, the faster healing begins, says Pribut. Avoid knee-bending activities, canted surfaces, and downward stairs and slopes until the pain subsides. As you rebuild mileage, use a smaller stride on hills. Consider orthotics if new shoes don't fix the problem. "If your feet have good form, your knees will follow," says Pribut. See a doctor if the pain persists, to rule out another condition.

May a law firm advertise with a picture that includes a potential defendant's trademarked logo?
by Gary Nissenbaum | Jun 14, 2011 | Business Formation & Sales Law Blog | 0 comments
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority ("SEPTA") of Philadelphia, recently sued the Philadelphia law firm of Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo (the "firm") for trademark infringement over the firm's use of a SEPTA bus on its website and for its telephone number, which contained the word "SEPTA."
The reason the law firm wanted to use the SEPTA logo was that the law firm's practice focused on lawsuits against SEPTA. In fact, the law firm's phone number was 888-SEPTA-LAW. Their website was myseptalawyer.com.
According to SEPTA, the firm's use of both the "SEPTA" logo and the red and blue stylized "S" mark in its advertising was infringing upon SEPTA's registered trademark. The lawsuit also alleged that the firm advertised in Philadelphia newspapers using SEPTA's colors in addition to its trademarks. The firm's website displayed an image of a bus displaying the SEPTA trademarks that SEPTA argued was virtually identical to an image of a SEPTA bus. Thus, SEPTA argued that the firm's use of the trademarks was identical to SEPTA's use of the trademarks in violation of the law. Prior to filing suit, SEPTA sent the firm a cease and desist letter.
In response to the cease and desist letter, the firm denied that it was infringing on SEPTA's trademarks and continued to use the website and telephone number. After filing suit, SEPTA argued that the firm's continued use of the trademarks constituted bad faith and continued and willful infringement. SEPTA alleged in its complaint that the firm's use of SEPTA's trademarks had, or was likely to, cause confusion in the minds of consumers as to the origin of the firm's services and/or its possible affiliation with SEPTA. SEPTA claimed that the firm's actions caused damage to its goodwill and reputation.
The firm took the position that its use of the trademarks constituted a fair use under the law and that there was little chance people would confuse personal injury lawyers representing victims hurt on SEPTA property with lawyers employed by SEPTA. Despite taking that position, the firm ultimately settled the lawsuit with SEPTA, agreeing to remove its website and change its telephone number. In exchange, SEPTA agreed to a transition period during which the firm may change over its website and telephone number.

Madrid, as the capital of Spain, offers different options for the enjoyment of tourists during the Easter holidays (also known as Semana Santa), although probably the biggest claim for most people who have never witnessed the Christian cult during these dates are the processions.
The celebrations of Semana Santa in Madrid focus mainly on several different religious processions. If you want to know what to do in Madrid during Semana Santa, throughout this article we will detail a small guide on the main events that take place in the capital of Spain.
The celebration of the Passion of Christ is one of the most important traditions in Spain, and Madrid is no exception. Although, as usual, Spaniards tend to use these traditional occasions more to go out and have fun than to rejoice in the religious origins of the events.
Since the fifteenth century, Madrid has celebrated the events described in the New Testament regarding the death, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ with the traditional "pasos".
The pasos are religious icons, which are taken from their resting places in the churches around the city and paraded through the streets on the shoulders of the "costaleros", usually young people who feel deeply privileged to fight under the immense weight of the religious statues, sometimes balancing precariously on board of heavy platforms. In Madrid there are around 20 religious processions during the days leading up to Easter Sunday.
Domingo de Ramos begins Semana Santa with 2 traditional processions in Madrid. The icon of the "Cristo de la Fe y del Perdón", an eighteenth-century statue of Luis Salvador Carmona, and the religious statue of "Santa María Inmaculada Madre de la Iglesia", depart from the Pontifical Basilica Church of San Miguel located in San Justo to parade through the surrounding streets. Some locals often buy palm branches and laurel leaves or laurel as a reminder of the triumphal entry of Christ into the city of Jerusalem.
On Wednesday night, normally around 7:30 p.m., the Archbishop of Madrid participates in the Via Crucis (or Stations of the Resurrection).
Soon after, the brotherhood of the "Cruzados de la Fe" recovers its icon of Christ (Santísimo Cristo de la Fe) from its resting place in its headquarters (Atocha, 87) and venerates its image with a besapié (basically, they kiss his foot).
In the old and historic part of Madrid, the Madrid de los Austrias, the church of San Jerónimo el Real on Calle Ruiz de Alarcón, 19 is the starting point of a procession that involves the Brotherhood of "Nuestro Padre Jesús de la Salud y María Santísima de las Angustias".
As you can imagine, not only is it very difficult to attend all the processions, but it is not necessary either. So we recommend taking advantage of it from time to time to enjoy Madrid and its usual tourist and gastronomic offer.
The procession of Jesus el Pobre is perhaps one of the most spectacular moments of Semana Santa in Madrid. This is, without any doubt, a procession that is worth going to. It takes place at Calle Toledo, 37, around 7: 30-8 pm at the Colegiata de San Isidro.
The religious images of the Virgen María Santísima de la Esperanza y Jesús del Gran Poder are taken from the church by the "costaleros" through the main door. To do this, they have to get on their knees to make their way slowly, an immense effort that is loudly rewarded with a lot of applause and deafening shouts from the crowd.
At the same time, the processions of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, El Pobre y María Santísima del Dulce Nombre leave the Church of San Pedro in Calle Nuncio around 7pm, and the image "El Divino Cautivo" is displayed from the Calasancio School in the Calle General Díaz Porlier, 58.
Although they are not such spectacular events, if you are late and you do not reach Toledo Street at least a couple of hours before, they can be a good alternative, as you can imagine half an hour before the procession begins at Calle Toledo not even a soul fits in the surroundings.
Viernes Santo brings perhaps the most emblematic religious procession of Madrid, Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, that leaves the Basilica of the Christ of Medinaceli in the Plaza de Jesús around 7 p.m. and parades through downtown streets such as Puerta del Sol and Plaza Cibeles.
On the other hand, the "Procession of Silence" part of the Church of the Holy Christ of the Faith in the street Atocha 87 and the City Council organizes its own procession called Santo Entierro that leaves the Parochial Church of Santa Cruz in Atocha, 6 with the image of Lignum Crucis.
The procession of "Nuestra Señora de la Soledad" leaves the Corpus Christi Monastery around 4:30 p.m. Take the rest of the day to have a drink and enjoy the local gastronomy, since on Saturday there is no other important event to attend.
The main event of Domingo de Pascua takes place at noon in the Plaza Mayor. It is the "Tamborada del Domingo de Resurección", in which the Brotherhood chosen that year gathers dozens of drums of all shapes and sizes and performs a constant rhythm that almost shakes nearby houses. This represents the earthquakes that were supposed to have occurred when Christ died on the cross.
And this event ends Semana Santa in Madrid! If you think we have left an important event, do not hesitate to indicate it in the comments. We hope you enjoy it!
Madrid, as the capital of Spain, offers a varied list of options so that any tourist, national or foreign, can enjoy the best local Christmas spirit. Today in Hostal Patria, we are recommended some festive activities to have a great time in Madrid at Christmas.
The historic Plaza Mayor is the perfect place for the oldest Christmas market in Madrid, which has been celebrated for 100 years, more or less. When the sun sets, a lot of hanging decorations light up in the darkness and create an atmospheric glow all over the square.
There are many stalls selling sweets and collectibles that represent some popular nativity scenes. Among them, the most popular is the Caganer, a collectible that literally translates as "The Shitter", a piece found in many Spanish native scenes that, ironically, is destined to bring good luck.
Madrid offers plenty of shopping deals, although you should be ready to make your way through the busiest streets. The area of Plaza Mayor, Callao and Puerta del Sol is especially crowded.
Other excellent shopping areas include Fuencarral Street and the elegant Salamanca district (the latter less economical, but a visit is equally recommendable).
There are a lot of plans to enjoy New Year's Eve in Madrid. The locals (and tourists) usually gather at Puerta del Sol square to say welcome to the new year. They do it while eating 12 grapes, one grape for each strike of the clock, and it is said this brings good luck for the next 12 months.
This tradition comes from the early 1900s, and is so enjoyable because it is so fun to experience how people begin to steal grapes from each other, and more and more grapes accumulate in their mouths while they smile and laugh.
Ending the night like the locals in the historic Chocolatería San Ginés is tradition, eating some of the popular chocolate churros to fight against the possible hangover.
Here in Spain, the three holy kings are far more popular than Santa Claus, and when they arrive to the city on January 5, they attract thousands of locals to the streets that surround the Palacio de Cibeles.
If you are attracted to see the kings, it is recommended to find a place in time near the palace to have a look at the incredible floats (because it gets very crowded when the kings appear).
As you may imagine, Spanish Christmas traditions are pretty focused on food. It is tradition to go through a local bakery to try the Roscón de Reyes, which contains a small and funny surprise. Take care choosing your piece of cake, because the person who gets the little figure hidden inside shall pay for the cake!
Finally, another tradition says that if children have been bad they get coal instead of cake. In many bakeries you can find fine imitations of sweet charcoal (that ironically tastes very good, actually). Even so, before you leave Madrid you should try some variations of turrón, a traditional Christmas candy based on almonds.
Madrid is a city full of possibilities. In fact, it is such an exciting place that we could dedicate a lifetime to know it and discover its exciting secrets. Unfortunately, few travelers are lucky enough to be able to do so, so our goal is to condense the best of its offer and organize it in such a way that you can know the essentials of this city in just over 48 hours.
In Madrid you will find good examples of art and relevant exhibitions, extensive shopping areas, good establishments of all kinds where you can enjoy local gastronomy, unique monuments full of legends and history and, above all, an exciting street environment with attractions for all Tastes, ages and hobbies.
Having said that, do you dare to join us? We will propose you what to do in Madrid in 2 days.
What plan do we have to get to know Madrid on a weekend?
In that, precisely, our proposal is based. In making a virtual trip from Friday to Sunday for the capital of Spain. If your trip is made during the week, do not forget to check the days and times of the premises, museums and establishments included in our proposal.
The first thing is to locate our accommodation and get rid of luggage to be able to travel lighter this great city. And, as it should be, we will start the tour of the authentic heart of the city: Puerta del Sol. We could say that it is the most typical scene of the city, the most crowded, the one that attracts tourists and neighbors and never disappoints.
Our advice is to take that you take the first few hours to explore this area, as well as its surrounding streets and Madrid´s Gran via. There you will find a lot of atmosphere, shops and places where you can eat, eat or dine.
Actually, it all depends on when you start the tour. If it is already late, we suggest that, on Saturday, you return to this area to start the route all aver. In any case, we propose several places to visit and that you can select depending on the time available.
In the Puerta del Sol is the so-called Kilómetro Cero, the point from where the kilometers of the Spanish radial roads begin to count. You should also visit the statue of the Bear and the Madroño, the distinctive symbol of the capital. If you deviate by the Calle Arenal, you will arrive at the Teatro Real. Right in the front, you will find the Plaza de Oriente and the Royal Palace, which you can visit on a guided tour. In the proximities is the Cathedral of the Almudena, the most important temple of Madrid.
If you take Calle Mayor, you will come directly to Plaza de la Villa, the nerve center of medieval Madrid. And, from there, a walk to the Plaza Mayor, full of bars and tapas terraces. One tip: you can not leave Madrid without trying their typical squid sandwiches.
If what you want is to visit a commercial area, we will return to the Puerta del Sol to access calle Preciados and walk to Plaza de Callao, the Gran Vía and make a route to the Plaza de España.
If you still want to and have the time, a good proposal is to approach the Temple of Debot, one of those hidden treasures to which we previously referred. It is a gift from Egypt to Spain in the form of an original temple.
All these proposals will occupy you the afternoon of Friday and all the Saturday. Remember that for the areas that we propose there are a thousands of bars and typical taverns, in addition to a long list of excellent restaurants where you can enjoy and taste the local gastronomy.
What can we do on Sunday?
This may be our second full day in Madrid, so it is advisable to start the activity in the early morning and enjoy the day and many of the attractions that this city offers us.
A good starting point for this day is the Fuente de la Cibeles, the most well-known monumental fountain in the capital. Then you can take the Paseo del Prado which runs to the Madrid Stock Exchange building, the Ritz Hotel and the Palace Hotel, the two most renowned hotel establishments in Madrid. Between one and another is the Fountain of Neptune, which also deserves to be visited.
But, without a doubt, this route has the best possible finish. We refer to the Prado Museum, the national art gallery and one of the most important museums in the world. Among its collections, it houses paintings by artists such as Velázquez, Goya, El Greco or Rubens, among others.
You should reserve enough time to stroll around El Retiro, a wonderful and extensive public park that contains, among other things, a historic garden. There are many street artists who delight children and adults.
Maybe our proposal about what to do in Madrid in 2 days is enough.
However, we include here a list of other essential places, in case you have enough time or you can extend your visit a few hours.
If you want to dedicate part of your stay to shopping, in Madrid there are several areas to visit. In the neighborhood of Salamanca you will find luxury brands; In the area of Recoletos, Gran Vía and Calle Fuencarral there are many shops and department stores where you will find all kinds of prices and styles.
Special mention should be made of some areas to go for tapas, such as Las Letras, La Latina or San Miguel Market. And, if you want to enjoy the intense nightlife of Madrid, you have a wide range of shows: theaters, musicals, flamenco, bars, cocktail bars and emblematic nightclubs. In Madrid there are things to do, visit and enjoy 24 hours a day.


Castlebar's Conor O'Grady has been selected for an artist summer residency at Siamsa Tire.
This is the second such residency and it provides a great opportunity for visual artists as they get the space and time to develop projects they are working on. During the residency, O'Grady will engage with members of the National Folk Theatre (NFT ) of Ireland and a number of public engagements will be scheduled later in the summer.
A native of Castlebar, O'Grady studied arts in Dublin and now lives in Donegal. He works across a range of media, most often installation based, and his interest in the residency is to get a broader understanding of the role and influence of folk culture in contemporary Ireland.
O'Grady will use modern visual art practices alongside research into traditional methods as a means of documenting the ways in which traditional and contemporary visual culture are used in innovative ways. He also plans to collaborate with local artists using traditional craft and design methods or who have adapted traditional Irish crafts for contemporary consumption.
Speaking about the residency O'Grady stated: "I was delighted to accept the residency at Siamsa and very keen to get to work immediately with the National Folk Theatre team. The residency and its location will benefit my practice as it will allow me the time and space to experiment with existing work and create new pieces.
Catriona Fallon, CEO Siamsa Tíre, added: "The purpose of this residency is to support a professional artist and their practice. Siamsa Tíre is acutely conscious that visual artists need space and time to create and develop new work and we hope that this residency opportunity will allow them to do just that.
"We were very lucky with the inaugural residency with Karen Hendy in 2017, and are delighted that we continue to develop a relationship with Karen and her work. We feel very confident that the relationship we are building with Conor will be just as fruitful, we can tell already that it's going to be interesting."
O'Grady studied fine art at the National College of Art and Design from 2006 to 2009, and at the Dublin Institute of Technology from 2010 to 2013. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, including Border Lines at the Custom House Gallery and Studios in Westport, Green Carnations at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar, and Phoenix Park Palare at the Edenmore Community Centre, Dublin.
O'Grady has also completed a number of public art commissions, including one in Derry (Something Happens ) and at the Museum of Country Life in Mayo (On Sight ). Other residencies include Krems Kunsthalle in Austria in 2017 and the Home Residency in DAS Digital Art Studios in Belfast, also in 2017.
