A Super-Cute Baby Shower Duck Favor!

June 26th, 2009 admin No comments

I associated babies with childhood, and I associate childhood with Ernie singing ‘Rubber Duckie You’re the One’ on Sesame Street. It seemed like such a unique idea that I wasn’t sure if there would be enough duck shower favors around to plan a theme around, but I realized what I started looking into it that the idea was more popular than I had imagined. They are really so cute and it was a lot better than I thought it would be with all the online shopping help I got for ideas. There are a lot of adorable little duck favors and decorations to be found on the internet for baby showers and even toddler birthday parties.

I was holding the shower in my rec room in the basement so I had plenty of room to set up individual tables to seat four guests at each. On one end of the room was a table for all the shower gifts and on the other side of the room I had a buffet style table set up with all kinds of finger foods, drinks and deserts, including an adorable little yellow duck shaped cake with the words baby girl on the bottom layer. On the wall I had a huge cut out of Daisy Duck and smaller cutouts of Donald, Mickey and the whole Mickey Mouse Gang.

At each table were little pink picture frames that I used as place card holders and each frame came with a baby duck in the corner. The punch bowl had ducks painted all over it, as did the plates, napkins, glasses, and favor candles that each guest received as a gift. I went to a department store and purchased a little duck shaped baby bathtub and placed a glass punch bowl inside. It was really kind of cute. I found an ice cube tray that made little duck ice cubes, so I put yellow water in them and froze them. I went all out on this duck themed shower.

Other than a few things that people at school suggested to me, I borrowed most of my ideas from things I saw online. I got a rubber duck favor that was a candle holder, and some duck shower favors that were rubber ducky bookmarks. We used them as prizes for the contests we had at the baby shower, and all of the guests adored them.

I put some rubber duckies in a large, square-shaped, makeshift tub that I filled with water before anyone got to the shower yet. Every duck had a number on the under side of it, and every guest grabbed one duck out of the tub as they walked in. Later on I drew a number out of a fish bowl and the person with that number won a prize. We also did the old game where you try to guess which person belongs to which baby picture. The guests were told in advance to take a baby picture of theirs to the shower with them, and then we put them all on a board and put the board in the front of the room. All of the people at the shower got a good look at all of the pictures on the board, and then they sat down and attempted to guess who was in what picture. The winner was the person who guessed right on the most of them, and they were awarded a shower favor.

We had a lot of fun, great laughs and the mother to be got some really neat gifts for her little girl. Going on the net to help me put together this shower was an outstanding decision. I pulled off one heck of a baby shower, even though it seemed pretty far-fetched at first. The duck theme really was a cute idea.

NWA the Oldest and Largest Wrestling Organization

June 26th, 2009 admin No comments

The National Wrestling coalition ( or NWA wrestling for short ) is the oldest and largest recognized body for promoting and ruling diverse independent wrestling championships across the nation. Simply put, NWA wrestling is the enormous dog when it comes to the world of wrestling; bearing the scars of the profession since WW2.

Yet as time passed, the NWA’s power and influence worldwide of wrestling had slowly given way to other wrestling bodies. Given the huge grip it once had in the 40’s through to the 80’s, it might be hard to imagine that the largest hall of heroes’ party has permitted the contest to take much of what it held.

So here’s the question: what precisely occurred to NWA wrestling?

The Beginning
In the late forty’s, the NWA took the lead in organizing regional wrestling matches. Each territory in the United States (Japan included) had their own promoter highlighting matches when and where they were needed. The NWA would then bring the wrestling stars to the area where these promoters operated in, and would set the standards for wrestling positions, rankings and championship belts : heavyweight champ, tag team champions, junior heavyweight champ, world heavyweight champions, and others.

This was the highlight of NWA’s presence in the wrestling business – few other wrestling bodies could match the sheer scope of NWA’s regional scope. Yet the NWA became complacent with its broad national reach, and had did not correctly adapt to properly adapt to changes that happened over time.

The Decline
One of the most damaging changes that hit NWA wrestling was the upward thrust of videos and cable TV that the eighty’s brought with it. The attraction of nationally-renowned wrestling stars appearing in the area started to fade as their appearances became not unusual thanks to wire Television .

The result: the ‘greatness’ of the stars were queried as their supposed ability in wrestling was carefully examinated and critiqued on the T. V. Add that to the fact that their performances on satellite TV became something so commonplace, and you have the regional appearances of the stars was no longer a major event. They failed to draw the support of the crowds as time went by ; prompting the NWA to give ground to other wrestling bodies.

Why it happened
The NWA had simply been unable to adapt to the technological advances that modified the face of professional wrestling forever. Political screw ups to correctly barter for and maintain lucrative partnerships with other wrestling bodies had further hindered its growth.

NWA wrestling still holds a big presence in the wrestling scene, from world championship wrestling and junior heavyweight championships, to tag team championships. But this presence is no longer as strong or as tough the weight of other wrestling associations : evidence that even the largest of organizations can lose ground when unready for the inevitable tide of change.
