Peacock Messenger Bag

The peacock has long been revered for its exotic beauty. Here you can find everything you have always wanted to know about them!

In India, it is said that peacocks walk freely and unfettered because they are the revered symbol of Lord Krishna. As a testament to this reverence they have been named the national bird of India, the world's largest democracy. Even outside of India, people worldwide have been captivated by the magnificent and strange beauty of this most exotic member of the Pheasant family.

In all reality, when people talk of peacocks they are only acknowledging the male member of the peafowl species. Females are called peahens, and lack the enormous train of tail feathers that is their male counterparts' claim to fame. As is very common in the animal kingdom, the females are plainly colored and quite a bit smaller.

Peafowl are divided into three main groups: The most common Indian Peafowl, the Green Peafowl, and the White Peafowl. The males of each group use their brilliant tail display, containing exactly 20 large feathers, in their manly gambit for the best mate. The fan or train, as these tail feathers are called, is supported by smaller, shorter tail feathers. The colorful tail feathers do not grow in until the peacock is three years old, and the trains are molted yearly, usually during the summer months.

Great for a day hike or as fun alternative to the standard purse, the Mini Zero Messenger Bag is the perfect addition to your daily routine. This bag features two interior compartments for your personal effects and amazing exterior printing of your photos, designs, and text. Carefully constructed with a focus on environmental sustainability, this bag combines form, function, and a small ecological footprint.

Scrapbooking Tips #1:
Choose a focal-point photo. Treat other photos as "accessories" that help you to tell the rest of the story. As we read from left to right, the top-left hand corner is an excellent point for your focal-point photo when you have several photos you want to use on your layout.

Scrapbooking Tips #2:
You don't have to mat every single photo on your scrapbook layout, unless you want it to stand out from the background. Always mat your focal-point photo though.

Scrapbooking Tips #3:
Run out of adhesive dots to hold down your ribbon to the page? Fret not, tack down the ribbons using brads at each end.

Monarch butterflies are the most beautiful of all butterflies, some say, and are considered the “king” of the butterflies, hence the name “monarch”. There are lots of very cool things to learn about the monarch butterfly and we’ll try to get through most of them here.  http://www.monarch-butterfly.com/monarch-migration.html

Monarch butterflies go through four stages during one life cycle, and through four generations in one year. It’s a little confusing but keep reading and you will understand. The four stages of the monarch butterfly life cycle are the egg, the larvae (caterpillar), the pupa (chrysalis), and the adult butterfly. The four generations are actually four different butterflies going through these four stages during one year until it is time to start over again with stage one and generation one.

In February and March, the final generation of hibernating monarch butterflies comes out of hibernation to find a mate. They then migrate north and east in order to find a place to lay their eggs. This starts stage one and generation one of the new year for the monarch butterfly.

In March and April the eggs are laid on milkweed plants. They hatch into baby caterpillars, also called the larvae. It takes about four days for the eggs to hatch. Then the baby caterpillar doesn’t do much more than eat the milkweed in order to grow. After about two weeks, the caterpillar will be fully-grown and find a place to attach itself so that it can start the process of metamorphosis. It will attach itself to a stem or a leaf using silk and transform into a chrysalis. Although, from the outside, the 10 days of the chrysalis phase seems to be a time when nothing is happening, it is really a time of rapid change. Within the chrysalis the old body parts of the caterpillar are undergoing a remarkable transformation, called metamorphosis, to become the beautiful parts that make up the butterfly that will emerge. The monarch butterfly will emerge from the pupa and fly away, feeding on flowers and just enjoying the short life it has left, which is only about two to six weeks. This first generation monarch butterfly will then die after laying eggs for generation number two.

The second generation of monarch butterflies is born in May and June, and then the third generation will be born in July and August. These monarch butterflies will go through exactly the same four stage life cycle as the first generation did, dying two to six weeks after it becomes a beautiful monarch butterfly.

The fourth generation of monarch butterflies is a little bit different than the first three generations. The fourth generation is born in September and October and goes through exactly the same process as the first, second and third generations except for one part. The fourth generation of monarch butterflies does not die after two to six weeks. Instead, this generation of monarch butterflies migrates to warmer climates like Mexico and California and will live for six to eight months until it is time to start the whole process over again.

It is amazing how the four generations of monarch butterflies works out so that the monarch population can continue to live on throughout the years, but not become overpopulated. Mother Nature sure has some cool ways of doing things, doesn’t she?

Teen Birthday Party Themes


Just because your child is over 12 doesn't mean he or she is too old to have a little fun. Teen birthday party themes can be silly because most teens enjoy having an excuse to act less grown up than usual. Costume party themes are really popular with teens. You can throw the party with no specific type of costume in mind or limit it to fairytale, Manga, or movie characters. Decorate the room to reflect the theme and make sure you rent some movies in that genre for the kids to view when they are ready for some down time.

For girls, a spa party is a lot of fun, especially if you can afford to take them to a real spa. If you hold the party at home, don't forget to add spa touches, like plushy white robes and slippers.

For boys, anything sports-related is usually a good idea. A trip to a local sports center is fairly easy to arrange. However, a day spent hanging out with the local sports team is really amazing. While the pro teams probably aren't available unless you have a huge birthday party budget, a few members of the minor league teams are often willing to at least spend a few hours with a group of kids during their off season for a price that isn't astronomical.
