Kids American Chopper Party Ideas For Motorcycle Lovers Who Hog The Road

The popular and tough guy TV show, American Chopper is one of the reality TV shows to gain a huge fan following amongst motorbike enthusiasts. If you or one of your loved ones is into motorbikes, why not plan an American Chopper party for your next special occasion?

Decorate the garage with motorcycling memorabilia and posters. On your invitations, ask everyone who has a motorbike to turn up in their riding gear. These two elements will make for great photo opportunities.

There are bikers of every age group - males and females from teenagers to seventy year olds, people for whom being on a bike on the open road is the closest thing to being in heaven. As such you'll have to provide food and beverages that will be popular with everyone. Make sure there is plenty of beer (unless you're underage), as well as things such buffalo wings, steak or pizza. Have the party in the garage, so everyone who has brought their bike can park it in the drive.

As an alternative, don't supply alcohol. Instead, the bikers can gather, enjoy the food and atmosphere of the party and take off together for a ride afterwards. This a great way to top off an enjoyable afternoon.

Planning an American Chopper party can almost be as enjoyable as the party itself. And as well as being a novel way to celebrate a special occasion, your American Chopper party can be a way for your motorcycle-mad guests (who mightn't already know each other) to make new friends who share their passion.

Tattooing is an art practiced for so many years now. Even during those times when tattoo parlors did not yet exist, people have performed tattooing for many different reasons. In the ancient times, people considered tattooing as a way to express themselves. Historians believe that ancient tribesmen liked to ink different symbols that represented their disposition in life on their skins. But there were also tattoo designs that symbolized disgrace, these tattoos were often given to thieves and deviant members of the tribe. Also, there were tattoos that symbolized power and honor, these were given to men who have done something courageous or admirable for the tribe. And then there are tattoo designs that convey of one's status in the tribe.

Tattooing has evolved over the years. But the true core as to why this art is being performed still remains somehow - that it is being used as a means for self-expression.

It is a challenge to get a tattoo, especially if you are a first-timer. Most first timers would say the most challenging part of getting the tattoo is preparing yourself for the inevitable pain of a tattooist sticking needles into your skin. But the pain could only last for so long. Most tattoo artists would agree, however, that choosing the tattoo design you want to have should be the focus of a first timer. After all, you would have to live with that tattoo design for the rest of your life and there's no turning back (unless you pay a very expensive amount for a dermatologist to erase it).

In fact, a large percentage of people who have tattoos would say that they regret the design they chose for their first tattoo. Regretting a tattoo would not happen if you had enough time to think about the design you want to get. Most people just browse through a tattoo parlor's design portfolio the day they decide to get a tattoo, pick a design like they were ordering something from a cafeteria and then decide to let a tattooist ink it in, this is wrong.

One must prepare before getting a tattoo. You must have a wide array of options and you must be 100% sure of the choice you are making. Some people very wise people would turn to the largest library in the world - the internet.

This is the purpose of Chopper Tattoo - to help tattoo lovers pick tattoo designs out of a very wide array of choices. Chopper Tattoo has a growing number of tattoo designs in their database. As of late, their tattoo design collection has risen to 5,211 tattoo designs. Most of these designs are uploaded by its artistic members from all over the world.

On the website, you can find a variety of tattoo designs categorized for easy browsing. You can browse tattoos by category or simple key in your desired design and hit the search button. Tattoo designs will then pop up almost instantly, depending on your internet connection.

A Wine Lover's Weekly Guide to $10 Wines - A French Pinot Noir by Rothschild

Last week's wine came from a groundbreaking California winemaker, Robert Mondavi. This review is devoted to a wine made by a famous French winemaker, Baron Philippe de Rothschild. Prior to their death, these two giants collaborated; their most famous joint effort is the very pricey and probably overpriced Opus One, a Cabernet Sauvignon. Today's wine is a Pinot Noir from the up and coming Languedoc region of southwestern France. While Pinot Noir is a common and often prized red grape variety grown in many parts of France it is somewhat of a newcomer to this major, but not prestigious wine growing region. So let's see what happens when we combine a great grape, an up-and-coming wine region, and a famous wine house in a low-priced bottle.

Philippe de Rothschild Pinot Noir 2008 12.5% alcohol about

Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note: Medium red violet; aromas and flavours of dried red berries, sour cherry, cranberry and spice, with a hint of vanilla; dry, medium bodied, soft yet balanced palate; good length. Serving Suggestion: Vegetarian lasagna, roast pork and grilled salmon or burgers. And now for my review.

At the first sips the wine was earthy with nice, round tannins. Its first pairing was with a commercial honey and garlic chicken breast accompanied by rice and a Moroccan-style tomato and garlic salsa. The wine showed soft acidity and tobacco. With the salsa the wine's earthiness intensified but it became harsher.

The next meal consisted of a slow-cooked beef stew. The Pinot Noir was nicely acidic but the earth taste was almost completely gone and there wasn't much fruit. I added some powerful green jalapeno pepper sauce the wine grew marginally stronger.

My final meal involved a boxed eggplant parmagiana slathered with parmesan cheese. While the nice acidity of the wine met the acidity of the tomato sauce, there was not a lot of fruit.

I ended the bottle with two local cheeses. With a yellow cheddar the Pinot Noir was fairly muted. It was a bit sweet with a taste of cherries. With a stronger tasting asiago cheese the wine picked up a bit of intensity but not really enough.

Final verdict. I don't plan to buy this wine again. Even at this price it wasn't really up to snuff.

A Wine Lover's Weekly Guide to $10 Wines - A Semi-Sweet Cabernet Sauvignon

We've reviewed several wines from the Baron Herzog (kosher) winery. And it goes without saying that we have reviewed lots and lots of Cabernet Sauvignons, both kosher and not. But this is the first semi-dry or should we say semi-sweet Cabernet Sauvignon that we have ever reviewed, or to the best of my recollection, even tasted.

weekly planner

Jeunesse is French for youth; as the label says it's French for youthful, flavorful, and fun. This wine was cold fermented in stainless steel tanks. No oak. The label recommends enjoying this wine slightly chilled. The website recommends not cellaring it. The companion wine is an Israeli Cabernet Sauvignon at twice the price.

Baron Herzog Jeunesse 2008 12.0% alcohol about

Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. Description: A vibrant purple color leads to a pretty nose of plum, prune, spice cake and black cherry. Dry, round and ripe, this ready-to-drink number is an ideal candidate for many of the meats and vegetables off the barbecue. And now for my review.

The label said semi-dry. The marketing materials claimed it was a dry wine. At the first sips the wine was quite sweet with good body and length. It had slight acidity. The initial meal was a slow-cooked London Broil with potatoes and chick peas. The wine's sweetness remained. It was round and fairly powerful, but you have to like the sweetness. The potatoes added an element of sour to the wine while the chick peas added an element of tobacco. The meal's final component a tomato, onion, green pepper, and lime salsa muted the wine and its sweetness became unpleasant.

The next meal centered on barbecued chicken thighs, both honey and garlic, and tomato based. With the first thighs the Cab was candy like, and had some acidity and the taste of plums. With the tomatoey thighs the wine was even sweeter than before, but did provide some tobacco taste. The side dish of potatoes roasted in chicken fat added to the wine's acidity but it was still candy like. The meal's final component was Moroccan-style carrots in cumin and sliced green olives. I got more plums and less sugar but the wine was still sweet.

My final meal was a boxed vegetarian baked Ziti Sicilian style. This was the best pairing. I got plums, sweet plums and pleasant acidity. There was some tobacco and almost no tannins. With fresh strawberries the wine's sweetness was less objectionable. And with fruit juice candy the Cab was still sweet but earthy.

Prior to the traditional two cheeses I paired this Cabernet Sauvignon with schmaltz herring in oil. The wine remained sweet and was oaky. A relatively flavorless brick cheese thinned the wine, which was still sweet (by now, this is hardly a surprise.) With a somewhat tastier Muenster, same old, same old, but there was more acidity.

Final verdict. I will not buy this wine again. But for some people it might serve as a transition from the traditional Concord (rotgut) kosher wines to some very fine, dry kosher wines.
