A Cold Winter’s Morning

Ivory woke from a dead sleep to Bean’s tiny, yet suspiciously heavy body, hitting his face.

“Ow.” He muttered, easily trapping the eternal hatchling under a paw before she could make a break for the entrance tunnel, and freedom. Bean screeched her outrage at being thwarted from leaving the den. “Yeah, I know.” Ivory mumbled, blinking the sleep from his eyes, if Bean was up then Ivory was too. “I’m a horrible parent for stopping you from freezing to death.”

At his side, Ophrys slept on, not even stirring from Bean’s audio assault. Ivory didn’t expect him to. During the winter into the first few days of spring, Ivory was essentially a single parent.

Ophrys’ link to all things green and growing went a little further then his springtime escapades. In the late fall he started slowing down, sleeping later, going to bed earlier. And eating every chance he got. By the time the first snow fell, he was already fast asleep. Curled up in their large collection of blankets and furs, deep in the central room of the den. If Ivory was lucky, he might be able to rouse Rhys enough to shove some extra food or water down his throat about once a week or so. For the most part though, Rhys was dead to the world until spring.

Which left Ivory to take care of things around the den and their tiny charge until Ophrys was back on his feet.

“Alright, alright.” Ivory heaved himself to his feet, untangling his wings and tail from the blanket mass. “Let’s go.” Bean subsided into baleful muttering, but on the whole seemed pleased with Ivory’s choice to carry her up the tunnel mouth. Ivory squinted against the blinding glare of the sun off the snow, he nosed the double layer of heavy oil cloth and insulation drape back from the cave mouth.

“Ugh.” He groaned, tugging his mantel a bit tight around his shoulders and neck. It was quite chilly out, Bean whimpered and ducked closer into his hold. “Oh sure.” Ivory mumbled. “Now you’re having second thoughts.” He tucked her into a warm fold of his mantel, settling her in like it was a sling and set off across the sleeping garden. It hadn’t snowed last night, making his progress easier. He followed his footsteps from the previous days, out of their den area and along the forest path into the clan territory proper.

In the main market area of the clan, snow had been cleared away and it was nice not to have to squelch his way through wet, cold, snow. Several dragons he knew called hello, and Ivory greeted them back. Not staying long to share more then a few words. He had a mission after all. One that only heightened when he caught sight of Regnum’s hunting party carrying the spoils of their latest hunting trip in.

“Good Morninghellohi big cousin!” He recognized Ophrys’ apprentice AllMartyr under the carcass of a griffin. He dipped his head in greeting. “Goodbest week for hunttrip! See you at tent!” She waddled off after her elder brother and sister, walking awkwardly on her back legs, her front claws full of bundles of fish tied together, while the griffin was draped over her back, secured with several lengths of rope.

Ivory followed sedately behind her, taking time to enjoy the subdued hustle and bustle of the clan around him. The market place was always busy as a way stop, though quieter in the winter when travel slowed. It was still far more populated then Ophrys’ relatively isolated garden lair.Traders were waiting out the season before moving on, buying supplies and goods to take to the road as soon as spring came. Performers working on new shows for the Trickmurk Circus at the end of the winter season. Crafters taking the downtime of low to no traveling to build their stock back up for the spring festivals. Ivory enjoyed the sounds and movement of dragons going about their business around him.

It was a short walk to his destination. Which sat square in the center of the marketplace. While Regnum and her siblings went around to the back to make their deliveries, Ivory pushed his way in through the front tent flap.

“Oh look who’s wide awake and ready for action.” Iubar’s warm sarcastic voice greeted Ivory with the warmth of the cooking tent. During the warm months the pavilion was open to the elements, small magics keeping the rain and wind at bay. But during the heavy winters, the pavilion was enclosed in a tent, enspelled with anti fire enchantments and charms to keep the warmth from the cooking fires in and the cold of the season out.

“Yeah, yeah.” Ivory endured his friend’s teasing. Finding his usual table near Iubar’s cooking station, the right size for an imperial, empty. He deposited Bean on the table top. “Got anything warm and filling for the baby sprout here?”

“Of course.” Iubar set down a shallow bowl delicately in front of Bean. While adorably tiny for an imperial to handle, it was still twice the size of Bean herself. And filled with a faintly steaming serving of oatmeal. Ivory caught Bean by her furiously wagging tail, just barely stopping her from diving headfirst into the meal. Snickering Iubar sprinkled a finishing touch of cinnamon and maple sugar on the oatmeal.

“What do we say?” Ivory prompted Bean. Bean didn’t even look up from the bowl of her dreams, yet still managed to squeak out something that sounded vaguely thankful. “Good enough.” Ivory let go and Bean, quite literally, flew into the oatmeal. Iubar laughed out loud at Bean’s enthusiastic attack on his food.

“It’s always good to see my work appreciated.” He commented mildly. “What can I get for you?”

“The usual.” Ivory said, placing a stack of treasure on the tabletop. Far away from Bean’s shenanigans.

“Coming right up.” Iubar turned away, the sizzle and smell of meat making Ivory’s stomach growl. Ivory distracted himself from Iubar’s knowing smirk by checking out the clientele in the tent. Even though it was long after the breakfast rush, there were still some dragons lingering over their breakfasts, warm drinks or starting an early lunch. He could spy Dai, the brightly colored skydancer, holding what looked like a very animated discussion with his assistant, Chanticleer, and the alchemist, Disco over steaming plates of eggs and waffles. Ivory mentally made note to check out Dai’s Trickmurk show, it was bound to have some interesting pyrotechnics. (Rhys would love to hear him describe it when he woke up.)

At another table Preafloro and Cerintha were sipping tea from mugs, listening to PicassoMoon describe his latest jewel spell project. The small coatl was puffed up with excitement and Ivory had to tell himself it would be terribly rude to interrupt their conversation to pet him. He clenched a fist under the table.

Finally at a far more isolated corner of the tent, co-clan leader Obadiah was pouring over a thick stack of notes. A bowl of oatmeal forgotten at his elbow.

“You seen Caelum lately?” Ivory asked Iubar, as his friend set an imperial sized plate of scrambled roc eggs and big horn steak in front of him. “How’s he holding up?” Caelum was possibly worse then Ophrys at handling the winter. Which was hilariously ironic considering Tundra’s were made for the snow and ice. Iubar shrugged, a simple lift of his shoulders and wings.

“Stella’s been by a lot more lately, but not more then usual for this time of year.” He named the clan’s medic and Caelum’s best friend/possible life partner. No one could tell and/or had the guts ask either. “So I guess Caelum’s doing as well as he normally does.” On the table Bean made a mess of both herself and the bowl of oatmeal. Getting as much if not more smeared around her face and paws then in her mouth.

Ivory chewed his steak thoughtfully. He liked foods that required some chewing.

“How’s your mate?” Iubar poured him a large mug of coffee. “He still a sleeping beauty?” Ivory nodded, washing down his steak with gulps of coffee, which Iubar quickly topped off.

“It’s so quiet out there. You’d think the whole wide world was asleep and not just that one little piece of it.” Bean crowed with delight on finding a dried berry hidden in the oatmeal, attacking it with gusto. Ivory smiled faintly down at her. “Decided we needed a bit of a change today.” Iubar nodded, propping his elbows up on his counter.

“Gonna walk around the market then? I hear there’s a new weaver in this morning. Might have their wares set out.” Ivory forked up some of the roc egg while he thought.

“No reason not to. I could probably convince Dai to get Ezili to carve Bean something to chew on too, while he’s here.”

“Haven’t seen Val around lately either.”

“He’s holed up at his clan. It’s not as easy to travel for just a night, ya know. And they need him there. He’s coming by this weekend though.” Iubar nodded, sipping at a glass of water. “How about you? Saw Reg and her crew bringing a delivery by.” Iubar grinned.

“Damn right they did. Can always count on those kids to bring me the good stuff. Nerio brought them up right.” He turned back to his prep work. “Gonna start a stew tonight. And we’ll have a fresh fish fry tomorrow while it cooks. Martyr’s a more then decent fisher when she has the patience to sit for it.” Ivory hummed, taking slow mouthfuls of his coffee now.

“Tell me about it. She’s got too much energy on the whole. Rhys is always having to send her off to dig a new plot before he can get her to weed or water.” Iubar and he shared a laugh. They moved onto other topics, Ivory’s plans for the spring (“I’ll be uh...spending it with Rhys.”), Iubar’s plans to expand (“We’re getting more traders every spring and summer, to say nothing of the fall.”), the latest debate (“Glad I wasn’t the mediator on that one.” “Heard Nike had to rule on it, you know how she hates that.”), and other small gossip (“Word in the market’s that Disco and Miranda might finally tell us if he’s her charge.” “No!”)

The late morning turned to early afternoon and Bean sat back on her haunches with a satisfied burp. Iubar handed Ivory a damp cloth to clean her with.

“I’ll see you in a few days then. Bring Val by for brunch.” Ivory mock saluted, settling Bean back into place in the folds of his mantel. She’d be conked out in no time for an afternoon nap while he walked around the marketplace.

“Will do. Thanks for the grub.”

“Anytime.”

How To Pick Custom Printed Water Bottles

It is natural for people engaged in sporting activities to drink copious amounts of water through the day. One thus finds the baseball players or cyclists draw water out of attractive water containers from their bags and put it to their mouths nonchalantly. However, the designs and colors of custom sports bottles attracts attention in a big way.

It is not only the sports persons who strive to personalize their drinkware though. The water bottles with beautiful logos and a witty or important message is almost always printed across its surface on the orders of marketing personnel who hope to distribute it to the participants of a sports events or at the sporting clubs and/or schools.

While the colors, designs and brand of the concerned re-usable bottles to be given away as promotional materials are not too difficult to choose, selecting an appropriate bottle for sports persons and gym goers may be a trifle more difficult. The marketing company intent on introducing a new brand in the market would have to careful about choosing the right kind of drink ware in order to attract the target audience.

Pointers For Choosing The Right Sports Bottle

· Volume- Checking out the volume of water that a bottle can hold is of utmost importance. The athletes and team players may have to wait to take a sip of water every now and then. Practicing and running is also thirsty work. The volume would need to be calculated on basis of the activity that the recipients would be engaged in therefore. It might also help to contact a sports doctor r scientist before placing the bulk order for customizing the bottles so that the right information about the suitable kind of bottle can be obtained.

· Material- There is no dearth of materials when it comes to drinkware particularly water bottles though. While the BPA free branded bottles made with superior plastic is most favored by the sports fraternity, the stainless steel containers are equally adept for carrying water as it keeps the temperature of the water unaltered. Many hikers prefer to add ice cubes to the water as well so that they get to satiate their thirst via ice cold water during the height of summer.

· Durability- A sturdy water bottle is much appreciated by people who indulge in lot of physical activity. The plastic bottles may become worn out in parts or break under the strain making the metal containers the first choice of sports persons. Sure, metal bodies may seem to be a trifle heavy but it works for individuals who leave their belongings in a protected place while they go for practice.

No one likes to drink stale water or sip on a liquid that tastes yucky. The best way to ensure the taste remains unaltered is to go for a water bottle that comes with a superior form of insulation. Almost all consumers ordering custom printed water bottles for sports persons rely on Thermos as the brand has managed to gain in status as one of the best bottles for storing both hot and cold beverages.

Hyperallergic: A Stirring History of Cocktail Design

Cocktail shaker and cup in the shape of chickens (ca 1928), manufactured by Wallace Brothers Silver Company (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic)

DALLAS — Warning: side effects of this exhibition may include a desire to run to a bar and grab a drink after. No, it doesn’t induce stress, but it does tell a delightful history of the cocktail through glistening vessels and barware that all tantalize as if accessories for the most sumptuous of libations.

Shaken, Stirred, Styled: The Art of the Cocktail, currently on view in a small gallery at the Dallas Museum of Art, is a fittingly intoxicating show not to be missed. Curated by Samantha Robinson, it presents a chronological survey of nearly 60 cocktail-related objects from the late 19th century to the present day, showing how Americans’s drinking habits and tastes evolved along with major social changes.

“Skyscraper” cocktail set (ca 1928–31), designed by William Waldo Dodge, Jr.

The cocktail was first defined in 1806, when the term cropped up in a Hudson periodical as “a stimulating liquor.” But it wasn’t until decades later that adults really got into sipping these mixed beverages. A silvergilt punchbowl designed in 1881 by Tiffany (who else?) that introduces the show is an extravagant example of drinking, before cocktail fever hit, as very much a communal and ceremonial activity — but one where you had to have what they’re having. But with an industrializing society came a desire to enjoy more dynamic boozy options, and certainly for drinks that would pack more of a punch than, well, punch.

As wall text at the show’s entrance explains: “The cocktail met this demand and satisfied shifting tastes due to advancements in the production, transportation, and insulation of ice and the distillation of spirits — or liquors — previously unpalatable without dilution and the addition of sugar, citrus, and spice.”

Near the Tiffany bowl, you can flip through a digital version of Jerry Thomas’s 1862 How to Mix Drinks: Or, The Bon-vivant’s Companion — the first recipe book that made cocktails accessible to the masses. As people increasingly got their drink on, manufacturers stepped in, seeing an opportunity to turn cocktail hour into something truly lavish. Never mind that 1919 brought on Prohibition, under which people were still able to get merrily sloshed in the comforts of their own homes: advertisers simply changed the words used to market their shakers, decanters, and glasses so their wares were at least packaged as more friendly for the whole family.

“1921” mixer (ca 1925), designed by George H. Berry and manufactured by International Silver Company

Many shakers of the 1920s and ’30s reflect some serious creativity. The handful on view at the DMA are quite zany, from one shaped like a lighthouse — complete with protruding railing — to a sleek one that resembles a skyscraper, guaranteed to make you feel cosmopolitan and chic. It would have been especially fun to sip a sidecar poured from the beak of a silver chicken, which was the form of one shaker first sold in 1928 by the Wallace Brothers Silver Company. Seemingly a play on the word “cocktail,” the cock was available with four little cups like chicks, and was essentially the manufacturer’s way to mock the 18th Amendment’s regulations and loopholes.

Then crashed the stock market, and with it came the Great Depression, forcibly quelling people’s thirsts for cocktails. Businesses suffered, and manufacturers began using less expensive materials such as silverplate, chrome, and glass — although some still produced unusual objects that would have been unaffordable to many Americans at the time. Among the show’s most memorable pieces is one shaker shaped like a penguin that has golden flippers and feet, as well as another fittingly shaped like a watering can.

“Penguin” cocktail shaker (1936), designed by Emile A. Schuelke and manufactured by Napier Company

“Milk Can” cocktail shaker (ca 1935–83), manufactured by Reed & Barton

Businesses no longer had to be sly in their sales after 1933, however, when Roosevelt repealed the Prohibition laws. The ability to more freely indulge in libations, in fact, ushered in a new era of bar products. People could go out and buy strainers, stirring spoons, and ice tongs — and many did, especially after WWII, when couples were reunited and began entertaining at home once more. As the years marched on, we see a refinement of style — objects showcase less playful figuration and focus more on modernist forms. The exhibition features myriad examples from the ’50s to the 21st century that suggest that cocktail accoutrements, for the most part, took on increasingly subtle physical appearances. Bare-boned plates, tumblers, wine glasses with an assortment of stems, and an elegant crystal cordial glass — these are all elegant (as opposed to the ungainly form of the lighthouse shaker) but they do make you miss some of the humor present in the earlier years of the cocktail.

Nowadays, with the coming of refreshments like frosé and, yes, even the sipadvisor, it seems like we’re more interested in innovating our adult beverages rather than the vessels that hold them or are used to prepare them. (The mason jar, which was simply repurposed, is thriving precisely because of its simplicity). Maybe a drink won’t taste better because of its container, but Shaken, Stirred, Styled presents a delicious opportunity to soak up the many pleasures to be found in good, old fashioned barware.
