Based in a state whose slogan is "Virginia is for Lovers," it should come as no surprise that the oceanfront city of Virginia Beach provides a romantic setting for sweethearts. Whether exploring its 38 miles of beaches or taking in its thriving arts scene, the buzzing big city serves as an elegant backdrop for couples celebrating their anniversary.
Waterfront Romance
Make your way to Resort Area Beach, Virginia Beach's bustling center, and take a stroll hand-in-hand along its 3-mile boardwalk, stopping for a romantic dinner in one of the quaint cafes. Rent a bike for a leisurely ride or simply relax on the sand for a day of sunbathing and swimming during the summer. During the spring and fall, you'll have to settle for simply cuddling as you watch the crashing waves. Just 15 minutes south is Sandbridge Beach, a quiet 5-mile strip with majestic sand dunes. Sign-up with Ocean Rentals Surf and Adventure Company for sunset kayaking tours, some of which end with dinner at a chic, waterfront seafood restaurant.
Romantic Digs
Virginia Beach's resort area is home to a host of romantic accommodations. Book an anniversary package at the Breakers Resort Inn and you can sink into your private two-person whirlpool tub as you and your sweetie sip from a bottle of complimentary champagne. Snuggle on your private balcony as you soak up the oceanfront views. Oceanaire Resort Hotel offers a bit of sophisticated romance. Relax with your honey in Aqua 21, the oceanfront, adults-only indoor infinity pool, or make your way to the hotel-adjacent Ultra Martini Lounge for a night of elegance and fine drinks. Just three blocks from the resort beach, Barclay Cottage Bed and Breakfast provides cozy accommodations, including rooms outfitted with antique furnishings and jetted tubs. Complimentary amenities allow you to curl up with your loved one as you watch a movie from the DVD library, explore the beach on a bike and unwind with a sherry nightcap.
Soak up the pristine natural setting at First Landing State Park, the aptly named site where the Jamestown colonists first arrived in 1607. Steal a kiss as you walk along large lagoons or pause under massive bald cypress trees. Explore the park's 20 miles of trails, including 1.5 miles of beachfront property along the Chesapeake Bay, or enjoy a quiet afternoon of fishing and canoeing with your lover by your side. False Cape State Park is tucked along 6 miles of the Atlantic Ocean and peppered with dunes, swamps and marshland. Cars are not allowed but between April and October, a tram transports you into the park from Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a preserve that borders the park to the northwest. From there you can explore the region with your sweetie on foot or bike via its more than 15 miles of trails.
Treat your honey to an evening of high culture with a visit to the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts, home to touring dance troupes, Broadway companies and highly touted musicians. Put on your finest duds and take in a performance from one of its many renowned residents, including the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Virginia International and Virginia Beach Chorale. Snuggle with your honey in the cozy balconies of the center's jewel, a 1,300-seat performance hall. Virginia Opera performs four operas a year at various venues throughout the commonwealth, including the Sandler Center. Edythe C. and Stanley L. Harrison Opera House in Norfolk, just 20 minutes west of Virginia Beach, provides a particularly elegant setting, complete with large chandeliers, grand staircases and a bar where you and your loved one can share in a glass of champagne or wine.
Green Gardens
Make your way through the 155 acres of Norfolk Botanical Garden's 12 miles of marked trails. Pause to appreciate the garden's collection of more than 900 hydrangea plants, 3,000 rose plants and 1,700 camellia plants. Enjoy a quiet moment and hug with your partner under the vibrant display of azaleas, which are particularly colorful from late April and early May. Listen to the soft sounds of running water as you rest on the cobblestone bridge or watch as butterflies flutter about in the 2-acre Bristow Butterfly Garden. The 45-acre Chesapeake Arboretum is in Chesapeake, just 30 minutes west of Virginia Beach. Maneuver through the peaceful landscape, holding hands across 3.5 miles of trails that travel through hardwood forests, camellia-filled coves and along the crystal blue waters of Lake Hughes.

Shortest Trip To Earth Early Access Preview
Jim Franklin
Imagine you're rather happily and blissfully heading through the mysterious depths of outer space, all tucked up warm and cosy in your cryosleep pod, when a warp drive malfunction drops you out of warp into unknown space. The dutiful AI wakes up the crew and it's now up to you to get the ship and its tired and probably fairly grumpy crew back home through ten unknown sectors of space. Well that's the basic premise of Shortest Trip to Earth, a roguelike spaceship simulator featuring exploration, ship management, game-influencing decision-making and real-time tactical battles developed by Interactive Fate.
Shortest Trip to Earth is in Steam Early Access, which means that the game I played is still under development, and it's also why there aren't any scores in this preview.
I started the game and dutifully chose to do the tutorial, I figured that I'd need as much info as possible if my crew was going to survive this, and I would recommend everyone to do the same. It doesn't handhold you through every possible thing in the game but it does show you the basics. You're shown how to move your vessel, kit out your ship, and you're taken through a ship battle. It would have been nice to also be shown space stations, as the first time you get to them, you are left to just figure things out. On the whole though, it's a good tutorial, that doesn't take long to get through and primes you for the rest of the game.
With the tutorial under my belt, I started a new game, with the first step being to choose a ship. There was the ship I used in the tutorial, a sturdy military ship and this organic ship which seemed a little too complex for my first run through, so took the tutorial ship. Scrolling through, there were more ships to unlock after getting to sectors 2 and 3.
I now had 15 points to spend that would give my ship extra things. There were droids, that could do repair, gunnery and medic tasks, as well as extra resources and ship parts. It helps to make each game a little different, and as you play you earn more of these points for your next playthrough. I grabbed the extra droids and resources and started my adventure in earnest.
Each sector is composed of a number of galaxies, which in turn are composed of a number of galactic bodies. They could be space stations, asteroid belts, planets shipwrecks among others. In its most simplistic form, all you need to do is get from one end to the other, in to the waiting warpgate to the next sector all the way through the ten sectors. Easy right? Well no, because the great gods of RNG are not overly keen on helping you too much.
The main problem with the just head to the gate theory is that your ship can only hold a finite amount of resources. Resources, which are critical for maintenance of your crew and ship, Organics are used by your crew, fuel is used by the ship, metals and synthetics are used for ship repair, while exotic goods are pretty much for trade.
As you fly through space, your organics and fuel are used up. Meaning you're going to have to explore in order to top up those resources. However, waiting for you in space, and on those ship wrecks, and asteroid belts are things that may help or hinder you. Even if the planets don't there are usually enough pirates and ship-dwelling ruffians to take a few pot shots at you while you're travelling. All the damage and ship holes need to be patched up, and that's going to take resources as well.
So straight through, or visit everything? Well, each has its advantages but at some point when things start going a little wrong you will still need to make some difficult decisions. No fuel, do you scrap parts of your own ship to get enough fuel to get to the spacestation, where you can hopefully refuel? The planet you've just landed on, do you risk your crew to harvest more organics from the surface. Pay the pirates or risk a space battle to save you some credits. Shortest Trip to Earth.
So far, I've omitted one very key element to STtE and that is the crew of your ship. Apart from being a continual drain on organics, they also keep everything running. Some modules on your ship require being manned, such as the control centre. The crew is also rather useful for dealing with internal repairs, fires and any boarding parties that come aboard.
Your crew is made up of a number of individuals each with their own stats. This makes some crew members better at manning the guns, while others are better in the control centre. Some crew may be great at putting out fires, or maintenance. If you start dropping crew members either from bad luck or just poor decisions, then your ability to deal with other things is hampered. If you haven't got enough crew to man your shields or put out fires, then space battles are just that bit more difficult.
The AI of your crew can get a bit confused sometimes, to the point where I just manually tell them what do each time, but so far has not caused me any major issues.
Space Stations are often a life saver. You can purchase resources from them, fix external damage (and internal damage, if there isn't any crew to do it), hire more crew and purchase new modules. You can't always do all of those things in every station, but they're still a welcome relief, if you're a bit worse for wear and have an abundance of credits (unlikely)
So, that's the gameplay in a nutshell, and what there is currently almost holds up to its comparators such as FTL. Which is a good thing, there are a few elements of the game that need a few tweaks.
For example, the interface is a little busy. When you're trying to manage your crew, buttons are a little small and while you're allocating, it can be difficult to keep everything you want visible. The tutorial could be expanded a bit, to include elements such as more knowledge on crew management, space stations, and maybe include a bit more about resource management.
Also, I found out fairly quickly that it's best not to install modules into your ship without reading things properly. I installed a module that converted some of my organics to fuel over time. Then my organics plummeted, and my crew starved one by one. I turned the module off but too late, there was spoon only one crewmember alive, trying to man everything, only to succumb to starvation himself leaving an empty husk of a ship floating in space forever. Lesson learned there.
Ultimately, Shortest Trip to Earth is a fairly solid rogue space simulator, with some nice elements and enough tension to keep you delicately on that line between rage quitting and wanting to jump back in immediately. There a few low-level issues with balance and the user interface, but that's nothing a few more weeks in Early Access can't fix. If you like taking a pot shot at the gods of RNG and then seeing how they spank you, then Shortest Trip to Earth might be worth a shot for you.

So now your pots and pans can poison you, too? We have to worry about that on top of everything else?
This is actually nothing worth spending any time worrying about -- getting safe and healthy cookware is simply something that needs to be thought about, decided upon, purchased and used. Easy and important.
Non-stick pots and pans (all the rage when they were first invented and now very difficult to escape) are leaching carcinogenic toxins into the foods you cook in them. They were never designed for high-heat cooking, but last I checked, most of us aren't cooking on low heat. Heat is heat and if we want to cook our food, we need heat.
As nice as it is to not have your pancakes stick, it's not worth the health risks once that mystery coating starts leaching into your breakfast. According to the Environmental Working Group, non-stick pans are coated with polytetrafluoroetheylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon. When these pots and pans reach high temperatures, they release toxic fumes that have been known to cause flu-like symptoms in humans and even kill pet birds within seconds. Teflon, made by DuPont, has been sued for hundreds of millions of dollars as the chemicals have been linked to birth defects.
"Perfluoro-octanoic acid (PFOA), an ingredient of Teflon and also known as 'C-8', is a suspected carcinogen now found in humans, other animals and plants in the US, Europe and Asia. PFOA is very persistent. Released into the environment it looks as if it will take Figuratively millions of years to biodegrade. The company '3M' (which once manufactured PFOA) found that it took 4.4 years for just half of it to be excreted from workers' bodies."(Source).
They are calling Teflon gas the new DDT.
No amount is okay. And for more on this topic, please read Slow Death By Rubber Duck.
Curbside toxic pick-up. More on that here.
Scrap metal yard. These places are typically equipped to recycle metal. And if you feel bad taking these toxic pans to men and women who work here (you should) we can all hope their employers are taking the responsible steps to ensure the health and safety of their employees.
Mail it away. Some companies offer a mail-in option to discard of your old pans. Do your digging. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure their safe and responsible disposal.
Cast iron is a classic. It's heavy and will require seasoning (i.e. oiling and baking) between uses, but it has all-natural non-stick capabilities and ups the iron content of your food. If you can get over the sticker shock, enameled cast iron pans combine the benefits of cast iron with easy cleanup. We're talking heirloom here. Consider this as a lifetime investment and something your children's children will surely by vying for.
It's for you if: You're shopping for top quality heirloom pieces that are sturdy, safe and tried and tested. If a full set is out of your price range, get one or two pieces in the size you use most often. Who says your soup pot needs to match your frying pan?
If you're looking for something that's low risk to both your health and budget, stainless steel is a good bet. According to the Environmental Working Group, stainless steel pans are a good alternative to their non-stick counterparts and brown foods better than Teflon pans. However, there is a risk with stainless steel cookware that nickel will leach into your food. It's recommended that if you're sensitive to nickel, you choose an alternative type of cookware. Titanium stainless steel cookware is much more expensive, but it's of higher quality -- certain grades are actually used to make health equipment.
Price point: Low (high for titanium stainless steel).
It's for you if: You're not allergic to nickel and you're looking for good all-around cookware at a reasonable price. This is what we use in the kitchen as stainless steel is low maintenance, easy to clean and very durable.
Ceramic cookware is generally safe, but do a little investigating before you purchase. Only choose brands with zero lead content and avoid any ceramics that have a coloured glaze on the inside (this goes for bowls and mugs too) as these colours typically carry toxic chemicals. Some ceramic glazes contain lead, and with use they can wear down over time. Be sure to wash by hand and try not to use them for cooking acidic foods that could damage the glaze.
It's for you if: You're not ready to make the leap to cast iron, and you're prepared to carefully handle your cookware to avoid chipping, this is for you. Once ceramic is chipped, best to turn it into your newest planter.
This is my preferred choice, though it is a tough one to find (garage sales and eBay are often your best bet for the old classic solid tempered glass cookware). On the one hand, glass won't leach any chemicals or metals into your food, but it is heavy and glass is glass, so there is always the possibility of chips, cracks and breaks. There's also a risk of it, well, exploding. Recent reports have suggested that when Pyrex cookware experiences thermal shock (i.e. going from cold to hot very quickly), there's a risk of it shattering -- so don't go doing that.
It's for you if: You love watching things cook (glass pots are awesome for teas and soups), are afraid of potential chemicals or are highly sensitive to metals. Just be mindful of how you store these to avoid any chipping or cracking.
What's your favourite type of cookware to use?
Question for you! Do you think silicone muffin cups, or silicone baking sheets are also potentially harmful? On another note - we have a le crueset fry pan - however it is still considered non stick. Do you know much about whether their 'no harmful compounds' is legit? https://www.lecreuset.ca/toughened-nonstick-fry-pan-24-cm?___store=en_ca&gdffi=7d27346976c74ce3a4d9e7e9c4e970e6&gdfms=9DEC6655215D46178A8E511E0BDE12BB&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsaG-99fK4AIVrB-tBh337AlNEAQYBCABEgLUT_D_BwE Love your blog! Thank you!
Hi Erica! I think the silicone molds are fine when you are making no-bake treats and chocolate, but I'm not a fan of using them in the oven. I love my Le Crueset cookware, but I haven't looked into that particular non-stick pan. It's worth getting in touch with them, asking questions and seeing what they actually use to manufacture it in order to make a decision.
So I need a skillet to cook my scrambled eggs in, and I need some type of pan to cook meats in the oven. I like to oven bake chicken breasts, pork chops, roasts.... Etc As a dumb single guy...Can you tell me what I should buy lol. What would you go with I dont care about cost right now within reason... Just about keeping toxins and or chemicals out of my food!
Hi Meghan, Many thanks for this article. So what kind of non-toxic skillet would be best for pancakes - which really stick! Does cast iron fit the bill?
Cast iron is a good one to use, just ensure it's well seasoned. We have a titanium pan that works really well for pancakes.
Hi Meghan, Could you please share what titanium brand pan you use for making pancakes? We use stainless steel but doesnt work well for pancakes! Thanks!
I have heard that vintage pyrex contains lead. Do you agree or do you feel that pyrex is a safe option.
The type of Pyrex that has nothing but glass should be fine. Vintage cookware (of any brand) may contain lead if it is painted and that is something to be mindful of!


2018 Poetry Out Loud National Champion Janae Claxton.
When Janae Claxton transferred to a new school as a sophomore, she was excited to have the opportunity to engage in her twin passions—volleyball and theater. Conflicting schedules, however, meant that it was impossible to pursue both. Though Claxton was disappointed to let go of theater, she soon found a new passion for poetry thanks to her school's involvement in Poetry Out Loud (POL). That commitment paid off last week when the Charleston, South Carolina student, a senior at First Baptist School of Charleston, claimed the 2018 Poetry Out Loud National Championship as her own, with winning recitations of poems by C.K. Williams, Jonathan Swift, and Sharon Olds. The night she won the POL National Finals we sat down with Claxton—who's deciding at which of six colleges she wants to pursue a degree in political science and international relations—to find out more about her Poetry Out Loud experience.
NEA: How did you get involved in Poetry Out Loud?
JANAE CLAXTON: I started high school at an arts high school that didn't have sports, and sports was a really huge part of my life… so I switched to a private school [that had a sports program]. I couldn't get a part in the theater program because it was conflicting [with] volleyball tournaments. The director was like, "You can't do both," and I was like, "I have to choose volleyball." Then I heard about Poetry Out Loud. Every year everyone in the school has to do it for a grade. I picked a poem [that I did] for my class, and my teacher was like, "You should try out for the school." I was like,"Okay why not?" I won, and I was like, "This is cool. This is really cool." So I just kept going. I lost at state my first year, but I was like, "I really want to keep doing this."
My 11th-grade year, I went all the way up to the national level and I got out my my first round. But I stayed and I watched. I took so many videos of all the people in the finals. I fell in love with [POL] more because I saw people doing it with so much passion and love for it.
NEA: What is it that you want the audience to take away from your recitations?
CLAXTON: I really want, in the best way possible, to interpret the poem the way the poet meant for it to be interpreted. And I want it to hold as much depth and as much emotion as the poet felt [as they were] writing it. I don't want it to be anything like, "Oh, Janae is so good at pronouncing things," or "[Janae's] so good at the way she did it," because it's not me. I'm just reciting the work how I feel the poet wrote it and how he wanted it to be done.
NEA: What do you think participating in Poetry Out Loud has taught you about yourself?
CLAXTON: A lot of people classify me as being just an athlete. I didn't really like that because I feel like nobody knew the theatrical side of me and nobody knew anything else [about me.] I was just the volleyball player. Becoming a part of Poetry Out Loud opened my identity and helped me shape myself so that I don't just think, "I'm only good at sports." I'm also good at poetry, which is something that I always thought was really hard, that I could never understand.
NEA: What are some of the particular challenges of taking part in Poetry Out Loud?
CLAXTON: I definitely think for me it was making sure I set time aside to really put everything I can into that poem. Because with me playing different sports at my school and … all the schoolwork, it was kind of hard to truly sit down with my poem and sit down with my teacher and make time [to work on my recitations]. I definitely think that is something that I struggled with. But also something I think is really important is making the poem seem like… it's just like coming out of you. So, I think that's something that I really had to work at.
NEA: What brought you the most joy from participating in Poetry Out Loud, aside from becoming the 2018 Poetry Out Loud National Champion?
CLAXTON: I'd recited "A Satirical Elegy on the Death of a Late Famous General" before, and there are jokes in that poem but the people in my school didn't really catch them. But when I did it onstage [at the regional competition] people laughed. I wanted to stop, and be like "Thank you! You finally got it!" So, I really enjoyed that. And just meeting the people that are here [participating in Poetry Out Loud]. I still talk to people that were in the competition last year!
NEA: What would you say to someone to encourage them to take part in Poetry Out Loud?
CLAXTON: Oh, to do it! Just go out there and just give your all. My teacher was telling me about this girl... who said that it was harder to do the poem in front of her school rather than [at the regionals]. Because you have so many people from your school who are telling you, "Oh that's not cool." Or they just don't understand it so it doesn't make sense [to them]. Honestly, if you're willing to put in the time and the effort you're going to get something out of it. It's just an amazing experience when you can see in people's faces that they love what you're telling them. They just want more of it. It's just awesome.
NEA: What do you want people to know about Poetry Out Loud in general?
CLAXTON: That it really does change your life. I really think it has that power because… it changed my identity and it made me see myself differently. [Poetry Out Loud] made me see myself like, "I'm smart. I'm intelligent. I can do this."
NEA: What do you wish I'd asked you about Poetry Out Loud?
CLAXTON: If you [asked me] who helped me the most in this, I would definitely say Robin Gramling. She's my mentor. She's always been on my side. She's helped me with my confidence, with the poems themselves, and just everything. We've done so many lessons and she's amazing, not just in this, but in school helping me with AP English and every single one of my classes. I'm so glad I met her!

The design of this piece came to me while I was daydreaming. During my initial exploration of the site, I walked up the third and final flight of steps to the penthouse and rounded the corner. As I peered around the wall parallel to the stairs that guides you into the room, I envisioned a vibrant creek with big rocks, smoothed by years of water rippling over them, meandering across the wall.
As I envisioned the river rocks, I felt they should be made of clear glass, for physical and conceptual reasons. I anticipated that the bumps and wrinkles in the surface would create fabulous projections while referencing the rippling river water that inspired the piece. However, working with clear glass also meant revealing the mounting brackets and electrical components. Exposing, and integrating, these parts into the sculptural glass components quickly became the main design challenge of the piece.
Once the designing and blowing of the clear glass "Rocks" was complete, my role transitioned from maker to creative collaborator and project manager. I brought in master cold-worker, Andreas Lehmann and metalworker Hilary Engelmann to help complete the glass components and overall installation.
First, Andreas cut and polished the lip of each 'rock' so the entire form would be fully transparent. Through this process, his expert hands also ensured that each rock would sit perfectly flush on the wall while relating seamlessly to the metal bracket that would hold it.
Hilary's innovative engineering and skillful craftsmanship led to an elegant mounting solution. She proposed that the lip of the bracket be sculpted to match the contours of the organic glass form that would sit on it. This ambitious idea meant that each glass piece fit seamlessly onto it's holder. Her ideas and custom metal work were essential to the completion of the work.
