Michael Strahan is collaborating again with J.C. Penney to launch a new line of active wear. This exclusive line will include tees, polos, jogger pants and chinos with details like no-chafe seams, auto-lock/hidden zippers, UV protection and reflective strips. MSX garments will also feature “quick-dri stretch technology” for comfort.
The first collaboration was Collection by Michael Strahan, the suit and dress wear collection opened in 200 stores originally and has now expanded to 500 stores. MSX which is a collection of athleisure styling is starting right at 500 stores and online at JCPenney.com/MSX which I attended a launch event of the clothing line, which I must say looked amazing, and I cant wait to to pick up a few of the items.
The incredible event had a space for guests to check out the latest from Samsung Gear VR by Oculus.
Sampling of tequila by Don Jolio, which again showed me I’m a major fan of blanco tequila. There was also watermelon water by a brand called WTRMLN WTR, which I’m now like a zombie looking to buy if I see it at any stores (I’m told whole foods stocks it).
Of course the event also had drool worthy food… Chef Josh Capon famed for Lure Fishbar and Bowery Meat Company (which is still on my go eat at list). My favorites of the night were sesame/ginger shrimp and toro (tuna) tartare tacos.
I grew up with Danger Mouse, it had a over 8 years running starting in 1981.
The concept of the show was Danger Mouse, the greatest secret agent in the world, must follow Colonel K’s orders (and try not to break Professor Squawkencluck’s inventions) to foil Baron Greenback’s and his henchman Stiletto’s plans.
Now there isnt much difference in the plot between the original version verse the new version on netflix. Tbe big difference is the CG style animation, which looks pretty awesome.
I’m super excited to introduce my son to one of my favorite cartoon characters growing up – watch Danger Mouse on Netflix.
Caring for a newborn/toddler can be physically and mentally draining. Whether you’re a first-time parent or an experienced diaper changing dad, it’s impossible to multitask without the crying spells.
To give parents a brief, yet beneficial moment of zen the team over at Samsung Techwin America released the BrightVIEW Baby Video Monitoring System. This addition to the company’s growing, baby monitor portfolio includes a portable 720p HD camera with a 5.0” LCD color touch screen that will enable today’s tech-savvy parents to clearly and securely monitor their babies around the clock. With the HD picture quality and improved night vision capabilities, parents will be feel ok about doing other household chores or taking a moment of serenity without missing a second of their children’s movements.
Key features for the BrightVIEW Baby Video Monitoring System include:
HD Audio Enhancements – This baby monitor is equipped with the latest audio enhancements to amplify the two-way talk ability and help parents to coo their babies back to sleep. It also comes with an innovative audio mode feature that conserves battery power while ensuring child safety. While the screen is off, the monitor will continue to detect sound in the vicinity of the camera.
Four Built-In Lullabies – Often times, parents don’t have vocal talent to sing lullabies on a nightly basis. The BrightVIEW monitor saves the day by offering four, pre-programmed lullabies – including Brahms Lullaby and Hush Little Baby – to help soothe babies to sleep and allow parents to relax.
Parents can also schedule alerts through the BrightVIEW monitor to conveniently remind them of their infant or toddler’s next feeding time, which my rules is any time the baby cries.
Go see Jungle Book as soon as you can. This live-action-CG hybrid, directed by Jon Favreau, makes the story of Mowgli, the surviving human boy, raised by wolves in the jungle, hunted by the meanest tiger, guided by the panther, finding the big bouncy bear, scared by the python and the giant ape, a real life adventure filled with our own fears, our own humor, and a couple of songs that we remember. Rudyard Kipling will be read again by a new generation who go to see this movie and want to see more of his stories. Co-starring Bill Murray, Christopher Walken, Ben Kingsley, Scarlett Johansson, and Lupita Nyong’o and starring Neel Sethi as Mowgli, and thousands of CG artists, this is a must see movie for one and all. The adventure of the boy who becomes a man, the family who loves, the competitors who know to live in peace, the respect for elephants and the ecology, and the evil that creates obstacles to the desires of the characters we follow, all create a story that once you see, you’ll want to see again. Disney, using it’s Jim Henson division, and technologies that keep improving makes this story the closest we’ve seen to cross live animation and live action.
I saw the movie in 3D, which I recommend, and Dolby surround sound which adds so much especially when the theater shakes when elephants walk by or when the surprise of the next scene comes from behind you, again technology and spectacular effects add to this movie but don’t define it. It is still defined by the story, the Rudyard Kipling classic story.
Welcome to the first summer blockbuster of the year. And next year, during Oscar time, I’m betting there will be a few awards, which will make me feel much better than all those awards that went to Mad Max this year.
Did I mention that I recommend that you go to see it? Take your kids; take your parents; make it a date night; and go to see it.
If you want a little entertainment for the kids – here is a Jungle Book Maze PDF
