5 places to order cupcakes without leaving your home [fake watches]

Everyone loves cupcakes these days (myself included) — it seems the little cakes have become a trendy, decadent work of art as opposed to simply a dessert. In Toronto alone, there's a multitude of specialized cupcake shops offering everything from big cupcakes to little cupcakes and vanilla cupcakes to wild chocolate chili cupcakes.

But what about when you just want to mow down on a dozen gourmet cupcakes in your flannel PJ's, without having to leave your warm, cozy home to get them? Never fear, there's options for that too. Here's a list of online-only cupcake shops serving Toronto and the GTA — all one has to do is pick one, place your order, sit back, and wait (impatiently).

Cutie Pie Cupcakes
CutiePie Cupcakes offers a wide variety of creative cupcake flavours, something that's crucial in my books. They'll whip you up a batch of Ya-Ya Yogurt cupcakes (featuring yogurt frosting), citrus-y Key Lime ones, or PB&J Banana Slam cupcakes — a.k.a. a throwback to childhood lunches with a banana topped with peanut butter icing and strawberry drizzle. Yum. CutiePie Cupcakes start at $55 for 30 cupcakes of the same flavour.

Cupcake Factory
Cupcake Factory is an Oakville-based business, but delivers cupcakes all over the GTA. Again there's flavours and toppings galore: S'mores, Neapolitan, and Pineapple & Brown Sugar, to name a few. They'll even bake you cupcakes in ice cream cones (they look just like ice cream cones only not a drippy, sticky mess in summer). Cupcake Factory prices their goodies per cupcake, starting at around $2 each, but you have to order a minimum of 24.

Cupcake World
Cupcake World is like the Walmart of online cupcake shops, and is a division of eCakes, a Toronto based, online cake and treats store. Like most of these online stores, Cupcake World offers mini and regular sized cupcakes in both traditional and fancy flavors, and they specialize in creating custom designs and recipes, so you can get those 12 dozen cupcakes modeled after your childhood dog Snuffy here. Cupcake World is probably the easiest and fastest ordering system — you simply place your order via their online system, pick a delivery time, and (voila!) they arrive.

Eat My Words
Eat My Words offers cupcakes in pre-determined packages, making an edible gift for that special someone easier than ever to order, and they're delivered in really cute hat boxes. Eat My Words has been around since 2001, and while their cupcakes are considerably more expensive than some of these other stores (10 for $69), they donate a portion of their proceeds to the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Eat My Words just moved into a new "home" in the city. While they still don't have a store front, you now have the option of making an appointment to pick up your cupcakes instead of having them delivered — and, presumably, to taste test or go over customized orders.

Sugar Baking
Sugar Baking is the side business of Catherine Chen, a 20-something Torontonian, who spent a summer interning at The Bonnie Gordon School before launching her online-only business. An aficionado of all things cute, tasty, and baked; Chen started up Sugar Baking in 2009 and it's taken off since then. The company offers all sorts of tasty treats — in staple flavours like Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, Chocolate and Vanilla — as well as some more exotic cupcakes, including Pina Coloda, Cookies & Cream, and her self-professed most popular: the Ferrero Rocher cupcake. The best part? If you really, really want an oddball ketchup mustard cupcake with cream cheese icing, Sugar Baking takes custom orders. Prices start at $25 for a dozen and go up from there, depending on your specifications.

Outdoor Research FR Swoop Mitt Shells [fake watches]

Outdoor Research is a company better known for its commercial outdoor gear than it is for Military contracts, but that doesn't change their use of cold weather outerwear making appearances in the right Military circles. The Outdoor Research FR Swoop Mitt Shell is an example of one of those products which fits a certain niche. This Swoop Mitt is three fingered, and looks like a hybrid between a traditional mitten and glove, taking assets from each to create a level of warmth higher than traditional gloves, while giving better overall dexterity.

I think most people are familiar with fine motor skills, especially when it comes to important ones like trigger control. Heavy gloves make shooting a disaster in most cases, but thin gloves seem to work better for protecting skin from abrasion than actually keeping hands warm. The FR Swoop Mitt Shells cradle the thumb and index finger, while keeping the last three fingers together for warmth. This works well for generic tasks like grabbing items in which mittens would prove to be too cumbersome. However, this isn't going to allow fine motor skills, and for this, the FR Swoop peels its largest section back allowing for fingers (either bare or with liners) to do whatever needs to be done. In addition to setting fingers free, the FR Swoop opening is large enough for the entire hand to go outside the opening. While this may seem strange, I will say its a lot easier to stay warm, not drop, or not lose an item if it never comes all the way off.

Outdoor Research points out the FR Swoop Mitt Shells are part of an overall system, including a liner, and was originally designed for flight crews. With its FR rating, Goretex and seam sealed layers, I can see why guys would want this. While I can think of fewer things colder than being at altitude up in the mountains in the back of a bird as a crew chief or gunner, I can think of my own time humping a belt fed and laying in the cold and snow for hours on end waiting for bad people. Yeah, the aircrews might get this before anyone else, but I can think of other MOSs that can use it as well.

I've started a long term review on these, and they work just the way the pictures show. However, they are so warm that I've found I need colder weather to really get a solid review up. Check back in another month or so, and I'll let you know how they do when the weather gets extra nasty. Click the picture for specs from the manufacturer.

The Case for Bobby V [fake watches]

The Red Sox' offseason has been a turbulent one, as befits a team that committed one of the worst regular season collapses in baseball history. (Nearly as bad as...well, never mind.) Their curiously torturous managerial search is the latest example. You'd think there'd be no shortage of candidates for one of the game's most high profile (and most high paying) jobs, and yet somehow the hunt has dragged on longer than the Orioles' quest for a GM. The team's rumored top pick, the immortal Dale Sveum, joined old boss Theo Epstein in Chicago, thus throwing things into further chaos and hysteria.

The latest wrinkle has Boston GM Ben Cherington interviewing Bobby Valentine. Whether Valentine had always been a candidate or is only now being considered out of desperation is unclear. The truth is further muddied by rumors that Red Sox ownership has already made up its mind about hiring Valentine and is simply giving Cherington a thin but face-saving illusion of choice in the matter.

All of these Machiavellian schemes have overshadowed the fact that Valentine may finally have a major league job again, something he has seemingly craved since he was kicked to the curb by the Mets after the disastrous 2002 season. My own thoroughly informal polling of BoSox fans reveals virtually no enthusiasm for this possibility. At best, there is a sense of resignation or acceptance. Most have varying shades of objection, from "I'm not sure about this guy" to "HELL NO."

As an unapologetic fan of Mr. Valentine, I am here to assuage the fears of Red Sox Nation. I'm of the opinion that much of his negative reputation is just as much narrative as it is reality. He is not a man without faults, but I sincerely hope you get to embrace them.

Star-divide

Bobby Valentine's last stateside gig is usually recalled for its turbulence. A USA Today article on his Red Sox candidacy takes all of three sentences to describe him as "confrontational" and say he "rubbed some of his players the wrong way." It's important to remember that he was just one element of a chaotic period in Mets history (though most periods of Mets history are marked by some chaos or another).

When Valentine took over the Mets late in the 1996 season, they were still trying to recover from The Worst Team Money Could By years, and from the flaming wreckage that was Generation K. Less than a year after he took the job, Steve Phillips ascended to the GM seat. His damn-the-torpedoes approach to roster construction wasn't so much team building as it was a very expensive game of Jenga, and it imbued the Mets with a win-now-or-else attitude that would define them (mostly for the worse) for the next decade. Oh, and ownership was feuding with itself, as Fred Wilpon and Nelson Doubleday sniped at each other and struggled to determine the team's direction.

And yet somehow, Valentine is the one who gets the lion's share of the "craziness" of this era. Steve Phillips is probably more responsible than anyone else for the mess the Mets became post-2000. His serial zipper issues are the clear mark of a not-very-good human being, as far as I'm concerned, and far worse than anything Valentine has every done. Despite all this, Valentine remains much less welcome in Queens than Phillips. Just this past year, when SNY produced a special about Ralph Kiner, Phillips was one of many ex-Mets interviewed for the event; Valentine was nowhere to be seen.

The only conclusion I can come to is the differences in how each man handled the press. Phillips played them like a fiddle. He was legendary for the treatment he lavished on writers, from creature comforts to juicy gossip. Valentine? Not so much.

Bobby Valentine was behind the eight ball with the press in New York even before he started. He had a rep from his years in Texas as being combative with reporters, umpires, and opposing players--an entirely deserved rep, to be fair. His tendency to squawk from the highest perch of the dugout earned him the nickname Top Step, which was not meant to be a compliment. He had little collateral or good will on which to draw when he arrived in New York, and he quickly spent most of it with his preternatural ability to aggravate those who covered the Mets.

He'd been a baseball lifer, and yet the fact that Valentine managed a year in Japan (a successful but doomed campaign where he was constantly undermined by the front office) struck some as elitist, effete. His predecessor, Dallas Green, was considered an uncompromising straight shooter. In comparison, Valentine was seen as slick and sophisticated, in the worst sense of the word.

Los Magueyes Mexican restaurant closes in Ashwaubenon [fake watches]

The Los Magueyes authentic Mexican restaurant on Ramada Way in Ashwaubenon has closed, but Los Magueyes restaurants remain open on Velp Avenue in Green Bay and Webster Avenue in Allouez.

Owner Julio Herrera said the overhead at the Ashwaubenon site was more than the business could sustain.

He said business remains good at the other two sites, 1329 S. Webster Ave. in Allouez and at the corner of Velp Avenue and Gray Street in Green Bay.

Ryon Savasta of Sara Investment Real Estate said his company tried to keep Los Magueyes in Ashwaubenon, but it didn't work out.

Sara Investment is looking to put another restaurant in the 2920 Ramada Way building.

"We've had interest from three different parties," he said.

Los Magueyes opened in Ashwaubenon in 2006. It expanded to the other locations within the last year.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Restaurant update

A new restaurant is planned for the building at 2206 Main St., Green Bay, home to the Country Kitchen that closed in December 2010.

Todd Henschel of De Pere acquired the east-side property and is remodeling the site for a national franchise restaurant.

Henschel said he could not name the franchise, but expects the parent corporation to do so soon. He said it will be a name new to the area and he's hoping for a March or April opening.

Zeise Construction of Green Bay is doing the remodeling.
Chiropractor moves

Dr. Jill Davies-Kern moved her chiropractic and nutrition office to 425 S. Military Ave., Suite 202, Green Bay.

Her office was at 709 S. Oneida St.

Davies-Kern began her practice 28 years ago. She received a degree in nutritional science from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The telephone number is (920) 405-1010.
Coats for Kids

More than 10,000 coats were collected this year in the Coats for Kids campaign.

In addition, more than $10,000 was collected during the Green Bay Packers game Sept. 8 at Lambeau Field.

Coats were distributed to 2,000 families in need by the Salvation Army on Nov. 12.

Coats for Kids is sponsored by WLUK, Channel 11/WCWF, Channel 14 and Cumulus Broadcasting.

"Do you hear the people sing?" The A.V. Club's recall-themed (and bipartisan) film festival [fake watches]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to your nearest polling place, the Wisconsin political roller coaster is set for another wild ride. The next round of protests will certainly revolve around attempts to gain enough signatures for a recall of Gov. Scott Walker, with both sides claiming that their goals are noble, and that the other side is full of villains and assholes. Before things get too heated, The A.V. Club offers these movie-watching suggestions, either as a way to amp up before taking your message to the streets, or as inspiration for a Tumblr-worthy protest sign.

They Live
The plot: John Carpenter is best known as a horror director, but this sci-fi action flick shows off his anti-authority streak. Roddy Piper's finest film role features him and his mullet facing off against a pervasive alien conspiracy that can only be seen while wearing cheap sunglasses.
Liberals like it because: The other side has been completely taken over by aliens because the police have sided with the invaders.
Conservatives like it because: The other side has been completely taken over by aliens because the media has sided with the invaders.
Sign-ready line: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum."

V For Vendetta
The plot: A government test subject dons a Guy Fawkes mask and takes out his creators one by one, inspiring a revolution and Natalie Portman to shave her head. V's mask has become a symbol for the revolution—instantly recognizable, inspiring, and available on Amazon.
Liberals like it because: The film portrays a futuristic society where hard-line conservatives are brought low by a freak that inspires a revolution. V is the perfect leftist hero, possessing superior intellect, intelligent schemes, and the ability to land Queen Amidala.
Conservatives like it because: The film portrays a futuristic society where America has fallen behind because of progressive policies—policies brought low by a revolutionary inspired by the same guy who inspired our founding fathers.
Sign-ready line: "Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask."

Barrett to sell Bill Powell's toys, advertising at Nov. 18-19 sale [fake watches]

“In this business there are only about a half dozen people who can honestly be described as having a golden eye. Bill Powell is one of them,” said Noel Barrett, whose Nov. 18-19 auction features Powell’s peerless personal collection of antique advertising and toys.

Those who have come to know Bill Powell over the years from his beautiful displays at major antique and Americana shows know him as the “go-to guy” for elusive trade signs, fabulous store fixtures and 19th-century lithographed paper-on-wood toys, Barrett said.

“Bill is one of the great pickers. He would hop into his car and drive all night if something special awaited him at the other end. Whenever you would come upon his booth at a show, you’d know immediately whose it was. He has always favored antiques that are figural, unusual, and have marvelous colors and patina,” Barrett said.

Powell’s collection will be offered in approximately 400 lots during the auction’s second (Saturday) session; both sessions will feature Internet live bidding through LiveAuctioneers.com. Within the Powell collection are many highly desirable late-19th- and early 20th-century painted-wood signs, each a unique creation. Some are monumental in size, like the 5-foot-wide “Harness and Horse Collars” trade sign decorated with two stylized horses’ heads and made to fit over a barn door. Two Ingersoll Watch signs are of equally grand size, while several optician signs – one with an oversized pair of spectacles, complete with peering eyes, and the message “Glasses Fitted” – measure 4 feet from end to end.

Another exceptional trade sign is crafted as an actual sled, nearly 8-foot-long and painted in red, white and blue with the name “Sonny-Boy.” Other dimensional trade signs include a stylish high-button shoe, a butcher shop bull’s head, and a milliner’s figure of a gentleman wearing a stovepipe hat.

Late-19th-century stone lithography created some of the most colorful signs and posters ever made. Favorites in Powell’s collection include “Laugh At Cigar,” which depicts a circa-1895 saloon interior; and “DeWitt’s Remedies,” with an elaborately detailed image of an early dry goods store.

America’s early shipping and display containers bore colorfully illustrated labels. Powell’s collection includes many such tobacco barrels, cardboard boxes and tins; as well as wood shipping crates with applied paper labels.

In the same vein, Powell built an exquisite sub-collection of lithographed paper-on-wood toys. Many of his superb 19th-century American boats came from the collection of the late William F. Holland, a pioneer American toy collector. Vehicular toys include a wonderful S.A. Smith wheeled eagle with flapping wings, a Paris Mfg. Co. child’s hook and ladder wagon, and an all-original circa-1880 velocipede.

The “endless variety,” as Barrett describes it, also includes metal and porcelain signs; salesmen’s samples, early cigar boxes and figures; lithographed heavy cardboard signs, antique barber poles and primitive fire escape systems; advertising thermometers, and 10 early air rifles and BB guns.

The 400-lot Friday session offers a panoramic history of American patriotism with the Greg and Molly Caron collection. One of the most highly prized pieces in this connoisseurs’ collection is a painted-wood shield from a War of 1812 warship. The shield was among the contents of the Barbour family’s White Birches Lodge at Follensby Pond in New York’s Adirondack region. It is thought to have come from a ship that operated on Lake Champlain; its counterpart bowsprit is held in the Shelburne Museum collection. The shield is estimated at $18,000-$22,000.

The Caron collection also includes an Adirondack twig table with flag, a painted camp chair with shield, early Uncle Sam parade costumes, a huge array of political and patriotic memorabilia; and a spectacular half-round leaded-glass window featuring a Liberty figure from a Hartford Insurance Co. building.

Adding the finishing touch to the Friday session is the Frank Mohr collection of classic 19th- and early 20th-century American and European trains and toys; extraordinary automata, and Continental toys by Fernand Martin, Lehmann and Gunthermann.

The clinic is the brainchild of Dr. Sherif Emil [fake watches]

The clinic is the brainchild of Dr. Sherif Emil


The clinic is the brainchild of Dr. Sherif Emil, chief of pediatric general surgery at the Montreal Children's Hospital. Emil, a McGill University medical graduate, was lured back to Montreal in 2008 after practising medicine in the United States.

From the idea stage to the execution took less than five months. The board of directors at the Shriners were quickly won over by the need to run such a clinic, as were officials at the Montreal Children's. The clinic opened unofficially in July and has so far seen 30 patients.

"We're all very excited about this clinic," Emil said. "These (chest wall) deformities are often silent sources of major distress for the growing child and teenager as well as his or her family.

"Pediatricians and family doctors often dismiss the anomaly, believing that the only treatment is radical surgery. However, in the last decade there has been a revolution in the treatment of these anomalies, with many minimally invasive and less invasive options available."

Other anomalies, like Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome, can cause breathlessness in some children. Dr. Jean Ouellet, deputy chief of staff at the Shriners Hospital, said the clinic will be able to draw upon the talents of its multidisciplinary team to perform more effective surgery to expand the chest cages of children afflicted with the syndrome.

The clinic has already taken advantage of the latest innovations in chest braces, using a device designed, in part, by physician-researcher Marcelo Martinez-Ferro of Argentina. The brace is intended for children who have pigeon chest, or Pectus carinatum, characterized as having a bony protuberance in the sternum.

Oscar Evans, a lanky 15-year-old, discovered in January that the centre of his chest was beginning to bulge. Over the months, the protuberance got bigger and bigger to the point that Oscar was wary of taking off his shirt to go swimming.

"It was annoying having it," he said. "I didn't like it at all."
Fortunately, timing was on Oscar's side: The clinic was just getting set to open and he was at the right age to wear the new brace. Unlike the traditional brace which "squeezes" the patient, the new device expands and is much more comfortable, Martinez-Ferro explained.
