Magic Mountain Lodge Hotel in Chile, South America

7:09 AM Unknown 2 comments

Magic Mountain Lodge is the name of this strange hotel, which is located amidst the picturesque private biological reserve “Huilo Huilo“, in Chile, South America. This incredible hotel is designed in the shape of a volcano, but the difference is that from it comes out clean water, instead of hot lava. Of course, those of you who want to enjoy the view of a real volcano, just have to look through the window of the hotel to see the volcano Arenal, located on the territory of Costa Rica. In fact, this is an active volcano in front of this intresting hotel.

This hotel, comprising 13 rooms (intresting is’n it?), stands out with a fantastic look and wonderful atmosphere. The exterior is designed in Gothic style, and certainly, it would have liked not only to fans of this style, but also to the fans of fantasy. In front of the hotel has a suspension bridge, so if you want to visit the building, you have to pass through it.

The fabulous hotel is covered with green climbing plants, which get moisture from the water, springing from the top of the makeshift volcano. The magic atmosphere is preserved also in the internal decor of this amazing hotel, and a part of it is a wonderful Jacuzzi and large panoramic windows that allow you to enjoy the majestic mountain landscape.

The interior of the hotel bedrooms is designed in a rustic style, and thus you can enjoy the incredible warmth of the wooden walls. The bedrooms are of three kinds. These are Cabin Room, which is the cheapest, Standard Room, and Suite Room, which is a more expensive. The rustic interior successfully combines furniture with a modern style, and it can be seen in the common areas such as the living area and dining area of the hotel.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 Full Trailer

3:56 PM Unknown 1 comment

The full new trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn- Part 2 has finally come online-- on the occasion, of course, of Edward Cullens' 111th birthday. Take a look at the new trailer below.

Unlike the first half of the Breaking Dawn films, which was all about the lovey-dovey stuff of Edward and Bella's wedding, honeymoon, and birth of their child Renesmee, the second half seems to be all about the action, with the powerful Volturi vampires taking on Edward and Bella because they believe Renesmee poses some kind of threat. I have no idea exactly why they think this-- the mythology of the Twilight universe can be surprisingly impenetrable sometimes-- but when you've got a pallid Michael Sheen on your case, it's probably best to strike back. With the Volturi breathing down their neck, Edward and Bella team up with other vamipre tribes and even Jacob, who still seems uncomfortable (and woodenly acted as ever by Taylor Lautner) but at least gets a good dig in there about the red eyes.

Maybe the most interesting, and refreshing, thing in the whole trailer is those last few shots, showing the vampire tribes going head to head…. and Bella right there in the thick of it. We had three movies that were nothing but vampire action happening while she stood by the side-- remember in Eclipse when she was literally carried up a mountain to be out of harm's way?-- and now that she's a vampire, she can actually stick up for herself. It's a little late, sure, but we've got one more Twilight movie to go, and it's a relief to think it might be a little less dull this time around. Breaking Dawn: Part 2 comes to theaters Novermber 16.

November still seems like a while away, but we're coming up on the five-month mark until Summit delivers the final installment in The Twilight Saga with Breaking Dawn Part 2. So it really isn't too soon to start seeing glimpses of the new and returning characters. We've already gotten a couple of peeks at the movie. But now we have our first official look at the newest member of the Cullen clan.

This article contains some details about the plot of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novel Breaking Dawn, some of which have not been revealed in the film yet, so keep that in mind if you haven't read the book and you're trying to avoid spoilers! For everyone else, read on!

When Breaking Dawn Part 1 wrapped up, Bella gave birth to a baby daughter. The gory delivery nearly sapped her of her life, but Edward managed to save her with his venom, effectively turning her into a vampire, as revealed in the final moment of the film when Bella's eyes opened. Entertainment Weekly posted the photo below on their Facebook page. Click this link and "like" EW on Facebook to see the bigger version of the new family photo featuring Edward, Bella and Renesmee Cullen!

With Mom standing protectively in front of her, it's hard to get a good look at little Renesmee, but what's clear is that she's not a baby! Did we jump forward in time? Nope. If you've read the book, you know that as a half-human/half-vampire, Renesmee grows at a remarkable rate, which explains how she appears to be child-size already. And that's not the only thing that makes her different!

On a related note, Is it me, or does Edward's hair look bigger? Or have I just gotten used to seeing Robert Pattinson with other hairstyles? As for Stewart, the vampire look seems to suit Bella, whom we might hope to see showing off her newly-acquired strength and speed when The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 arrives in theaters November 16.

Grilled cheese sandwich with avocado and spinach

10:24 AM Unknown 1 comment

Ingredients for 1 sandwich :

2 slices bread (we used a white bread, but one filled with lots of different whole grains and seeds would be *awesome*)
2-3 tablespoons Green Goddess Herb Pesto (recipe below)
2 slices mild white melty cheese like mozzarella
handful fresh baby spinach
¼ avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
olive oil (and butter if you’re so inclined)

Directions:

Spread about 1 tablespoon of Green Goddess Herb Pesto onto each slice of bread (2 tablespoons total, but if you’re sensitive, go light, the pesto is STRONG).
On one slice of bread, add 1 slice of cheese, sliced avocado, crumbled goat cheese, spinach, second slice of cheese, then top it with second slice of bread. Press together gently.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium low heat. (If you want to use butter, add it to the oil and let it melt). Add the sandwich to the oil and cook until bread is golden brown. Press down on the sandwich lightly, then flip the sandwich over and cook until second side is golden brown.
