Incubus & Deftones 2015 Tour with Special Guests Death From Above 1979 and The Bots

The Incubus legacy: across 20 hard-rocking, genre-bending years, the band has landed four #1 hits on the Billboard Alternative charts (including “Drive” and “Love Hurts”) and six studio albums that went Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum
The Deftones legacy: seven critically acclaimed albums, 10 million records sold, and a distinct type of hard rock that “thrives on conflict and chaos,” according to The New York Times
Trust Fall (Side A): the latest EP of new music from Incubus that guitarist Mike Einziger says is “pretty indicative of where we are now. This is what the band sounds like in 2015.”
Koi No Yokan: Deftones’ latest release, which incorporated elements of shoegaze and psychedlia, and was hailed as one of the top albums of 2012 by both Spin and Revolver
Rolling Stone’s take on dance-punk duo Death from Above 1979: “Returning a decade later, they’re still crushing violent, angular riffs, but they’re also writing catchier songs. A throwback to a throwback that’s better the second time around.”
Rolling Stone’s take on garage punkers, The Bots: they named the duo “Most Likely to Succeed in 2014” after their head-turning set at Coachella

Stay at The State House Inn in Springfield, IL. Dates into July.

Tue, 07 Apr 2015 05:00:58 +0000

Hotel at a Glance: The State House Inn

The State House Inn is surrounded by history in downtown Springfield—it’s an easy walk to Abraham Lincoln’s home, his law office, and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The inn even has a bit of history itself. First opened in 1961, it recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation to restore it to its mid-century glory. Retro, early ’60s touches can be seen throughout the hotel, from the molded-plastic chairs in the cocktail lounge to the clean lines and mod furnishings in the guest rooms and suites.

Don’t miss Lincoln’s legendary stovepipe hat. This getaway includes two tickets to the presidential museum and four drink tokens.
A free breakfast spread includes hot eggs and meats, cereal, and pastries.
Sleep easy in soundproof guest rooms that feature pillow-top mattresses draped in comfy duvets, as well as complimentary WiFi.
Best views in the house: The piano lounge overlooks the zinc-domed capitol building. Order a glass of wine and kick back to the sound of jazz tunes from a virtual pianist.
Workout: TRUE and Nautilus equipment stock the fitness center, which boasts a complete four-circuit workout unit.

Springfield, Illinois: Lincoln Landmarks on Route 66

Springfield proudly upholds its duties as the capital of the Land of Lincoln—numerous important places from the 16th president’s life are carefully maintained here. In addition to the Lincoln home and his presidential library, you can visit his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery and the train depot where he bid farewell to his friends and neighbors before departing for Washington, DC.

Located along the famous Route 66, Springfield is also home to slices of quirky Americana such as Cozy Dog, a drive-in diner that claims to have invented the batter-coated wiener on a stick. Architecture buffs can tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s 12,000-square-foot Dana-Thomas House, an early example of the famed designer’s Prairie style.

International Champions Cup

In an effort to crank up the competition of the European club preseason tour, the International Champions Cup kicked off in 2013 as an eight-team competition spread across six U.S. cities. The tournament doubled in size in 2014, highlighted by a record-breaking match between Real Madrid and Manchester United that drew more than 109,000 fans to the University of Michigan’s “Big House.”

Like a bubble borne from a million pieces of gum, the ICC will expand across the globe this summer with editions in China and Australia. On North American soil, the tournament will unfold in 11 cities at esteemed venues, including a stop at Soldier Field in Chicago. There, Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, and the rest of Manchester United’s star-filled roster will square off against an equally talented Paris Saint-Germain squad. Equipped with one of the world’s best strikers in Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paris will dribble into this match on the heels of back-to-back championships in 2013–14.

In its sixth year, the long-running hit musical Million Dollar Quartet transports viewers to 1956, when four of the world’s most famous rock ’n’ rollers—Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash—gathered for a monumental jam session at Sun Studio. Based on true events and built upon skilled performances, the show has earned rave reviews from the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, and has been performed more than 2,000 times. In addition to singing their hearts out, the actors play guitars and pianos, making the re-created supergroup feel just like the real thing. Guests can shake their hips as Elvis’s doppelgänger croons “Blue Suede Shoes” or snap their toes as the cast performs Jerry Lee Lewis’s “Great Balls of Fire.”

Massage Oils: Reducing Friction and Imparting Vitamins

No matter how skilled a massage therapist’s hands are, the type of oil they employ can make all the difference. Check out our rundown of massage oil’s myriad varieties.

By itself, massage oil serves a single purpose: to provide a slick, smooth surface to ease the strain on therapists’ fingers as they work muscles with long, gliding strokes. But any given oil also has unique properties—from its texture to its aroma—that complement the already beneficial effects of massage. Although some therapists may choose to use olive oil or a petroleum-based lubricant, many of the most effective oils hail from vegetable seeds. Here’s a look at some of the most popular types:

Sunflower oil: Produced by compressing sunflower seeds, this oil has two primary benefits: its wealth of vitamins A, B, D, and E helps soothe bruises and skin disease, and it has a non-greasy feel.

Jojoba oil: Also prized for its non-greasy consistency, jojoba oil is a bit of a misnomer, since it’s actually a liquid wax produced from the seeds of the jojoba plant—a shrub found in the southwest United States and Mexico. The oil doesn’t block the pores or trigger allergies, making it especially safe for sensitive skin.

Apricot-kernel oil: This oil quickly penetrates the epidermis, delivering moisturizing unguents and vitamin E to skin cells while leaving a nutty aroma. It tends to be one of the more expensive massage oils, making it a relatively uncommon sight.

Sweet almond oil: A cost-effective alternative to apricot-kernel oil, this yellowish oil hails from sweet almonds—as opposed to bitter almonds, from which cooking oil and amaretto are made. Almond oil is generally suited to any skin type (though people with nut allergies should avoid it, of course) and may help soothe chapped lips and dry skin. Although it doesn’t penetrate skin as deeply as other oils, it acts as an excellent carrier for essential oils used in aromatherapy.

As practiced in ancient Chinese Medicine, acupuncture rebalances the flow of energy through the body. Whether being practiced in its traditional or western forms, acupuncture uses fine needles to target the body’s 12 meridians and redistribute energy. Patients look to these treatments for relief from pain and allergies, to stimulate weight loss, or even to cope with stress and its related symptoms.

HealthSource

Dr. Zhu has spent the last 30 years working in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, treating patients, researching methodologies, and teaching her holistic healing skills at hospitals around the world.

At HealthSource, she wields her expertise in the form of acupuncture, herbal remedies, therapeutic massage, and energy work. During acupuncture treatments, Dr. Zhu inserts thin, sterile needles into certain points along the body known as meridians in order to redirect energy flow. The traditional treatment dates back centuries and can be used to address a wide array of physical and mental ailments.

Chronic Pain: Perpetual Discomfort

Chiropractors often work to remedy chronic pain. To learn the source of this common complaint—and a few strategies for tackling it—read on.

When your finger touches a hot stove, it’s the pain that causes your brain to immediately pull your hand away from the burner. When you’re sick, pain will let you know that you need medicine. But, unlike the beneficial warning system of acute pain, chronic pain doesn’t pipe down once its message is received. Instead, it continues on, interfering with a person’s mood and ability to function. There may have been an initial trigger for the pain, such as an infection or the week you decided to try sleeping upright, and there may even be an ongoing cause—arthritis, ear infection, stress—but it also can occur seemingly out of the blue. Such pain most commonly takes the form of headaches, lower-back pain, and joint discomfort, but can affect any part of the body. The 2011 report Relieving Pain in America noted that roughly 100 million adults suffered from chronic pain in the United States alone.

The quest to be rid of chronic pain can lead those who have it down a winding path of potential remedies. Opiates and acetaminophen (found in Tylenol) are common pharmacological go-tos, but there are other options. Relaxation helps prevent tension and redirect attention away from the pain, so many people try acupuncture, exercise, and massage. It’s also important to understand what may trigger your pain, if anything, and so the American Chronic Pain Association recommends keeping a log of daily activities to try to pinpoint aggravators—perhaps stress or weather conditions such as humidity or really sharp snowflakes.

Although laser hair reduction (LHR) treatments can be effective in permanently reducing unwanted fuzz, multiple treatments are typically required for optimal results due to hair-growth dormancy and laser-absorption rates.

The Chicago White Sox use dynamic pricing to value tickets, so total values may fluctuate. When you click “Buy,” you’ll be redirected to the White Sox website to complete your transaction. This Groupon applies toward the face value of tickets, but you’ll still need to pay all White Sox fees and taxes in full.

The Scouting Report

Led by reigning Rookie of the Year Jose Abreu, the White Sox will defend U.S. Cellular Field against the Reds, Indians, and Twins during home games throughout May. In addition to watching the action on the field and seeing pitchers practice their sleight-of-hand magic tricks in the bullpen, fans can enjoy special promotions, such as a Mother’s Day tote giveaway on May 9 and post-game fireworks on May 8 and 22.

Ninety minutes before the game—and for 30 minutes following the first pitch—fans can file onto the patio on the right-center-field warning track to soak up the sounds of warm-ups, the smell of barbecued meats, and the chilled pours of wine and Miller beer. According to baseball’s official rules, revelers must be at least 21 to drink alcohol, but younger fans can still enjoy the barbecue buffet replete with fried chicken, Cajun chicken, and more.

Chicago White Sox

After occupying the old Comiskey Park for more than 80 years, the Chicago White Sox moved to their eponymous 40,000-seat stadium in 1991, later redubbed U.S. Cellular Field. Over the course of the club’s rich history, it’s managed to produce more than two dozen Hall of Famers, and its mascot, Southpaw, has long since held onto the naïve hope that he too will be inducted. In 2005, the White Sox rode eight consecutive postseason victories to their first World Series title since 1917, snapping an 88-year championship drought. And today, the team continues to excite fans as they enjoy field amenities that include street-festival-worthy concessions, an onsite sports bar, and an array of batting cages and baseball clinics.

Mamby on the Beach

Passion Pit: Taking their name from an old-timey name for a drive-in theatre, the indie-tronica trio got together in college and quickly gained a following with falsetto-tinged hits such as “Sleepyhead,” “Take a Walk,” and “Carried Away.” Expect to hear these cuts as well as tracks from their latest album, Kindred.
Empire of the Sun: The Australian duo behind electro-pop hits such as “Walking on a Dream” and “We Are the People” get glammy in a live show loaded with neon projections, armored costumes, and other elements from the band’s epic mythology.
Phantogram: Across two albums, Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel have woven shoegaze with electronica, making for a beautifully disconcerting brand of pop that Pitchfork has praised for having “shades of Portishead crackle, Dust Brothers clutter, and even a little late-era Yeah Yeah Yeahs geek glamour.”
Röyksopp: Lush, warm, and hypnotizing, the trip-hop of this Northern European duo has earned two Grammy nominations, seven Norwegian Spellemannprisen awards, and two songs on Pitchfork’s Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s.
Art Department: In 2010, two veterans of Toronto’s house scene stormed the clubs with the strange, sparse, and danceable hit “Without You.” A year later, they dropped their debut album Drawing Board, a 75-minute masterpiece of stark beats and soul-seizing vocals.
Cashmere Cat: Known for his collaborations with Ariana Grande, DJ Mustard, and Kanye West, this Norwegian DJ finds inspiration in everything from modern trap to silky mid-90s R&B. Such eclecticism earned his remix of 2 Chainz and Drake’s “No Lie” the top spot on Vice’s list of “25 Awesome Genre-Benders of 2012”.
James Murphy: Stepping behind the decks for a special DJ set, James Murphy takes the next step in a busy post-LCD Soundsystem career that has included work on Arcade Fire’s Reflektor, remixes for a David Bowie re-release, a new song with Gorillaz and Andre 3000, and even his own espresso blend.
Classixx: childhood friends Michael David and Tyler Blake make their blend of disco, funk, and Italian house sound distinctly modern with a bouncy, yet chilled out production style on such jams as “I’ll Get You” and “All You’re Waiting For”
Also Appearing: Cut Copy (DJ set) | Klingande | Claptone | Matthew Dear | Felix Da Housecat | Robert Delong | Route 94 | George Fitzgerald | J. Philip | Moon Boots | Tanlines | Goldroom | Com Truise | No Regular Play | Autograf | Farley Jackmaster Funk | Toyboy and Robin

Northbrook, Illinois: North Chicago Suburb near Theme Parks and Acclaimed Gardens

Located about 25 miles north of downtown Chicago, the suburb of Northbrook is close to an abundance of outdoor activities. The 540-acre, wildlife-rich Skokie Lagoons nature preserve is a popular spot for canoeing, fishing, and hiking. The wilderness of the lagoons contrasts with the manicured Chicago Botanic Garden in nearby Glencoe, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2012. Here, you can see 2.5 million plants strewn across 26 displays situated on nine islands.

About a half-hour’s drive north of Northbrook is Six Flags Great America, one of the largest theme parks in the Midwest. It packs in more than 70 rides and attractions, ranging from bumper cars to a massive water park. The roller coasters are the most popular. You can hop on the recently opened X Flight, which boasts an innovative “wing coaster” design that suspends riders on either side of the track with their feet dangling as they’re whisked at speeds of up to 55 miles per hour through stomach-flipping loops, dives, and barrel twists. The park also has some old-school rides, including the classic wooden coaster American Eagle and Batman: The Ride, which was the world’s first inverted outside-looping roller coaster when it opened in 1992.

âœˆ All-Inclusive Casa Marina Reef Resort Stay with Airfare. Price per Person Based on Double Occupancy.

Tue, 28 Apr 2015 05:01:37 +0000

All-Inclusive Vacation in Dominican Republic

When you’re not sitting by a pool, plunging into the ocean, or dancing at the disco, you can soak in views of the Caribbean from the terrace or balcony of your ocean-view room during this vacation in the Dominican Republic. The vacation includes:

Round-trip airfare from Boston (BOS), Buffalo (BUF), Chicago, Miami, New York City, or Washington DC
5 nights of all-inclusive superior accommodations at Casa Marina Reef Resort
All meals, snacks, and domestic drinks
Daily activities and nightly entertainment
Non-motorized watersports
Supervised kids’ program for ages 4–12

Hotel at a Glance: Casa Marina Reef Resort

Set on a natural reef in the small town of Sosúa, which borders the better-known city of Puerto Plata, the all-inclusive Casa Marina Beach & Reef Resort and its sister property combine to provide a wealth of tropical fun.

Seafood, Italian, and more: There are five restaurants to choose from between the sister resorts.
Los Cocos, Sunset, Disco Calipso: Those are the names of just some of the nine bars available to guests.
Pools for days: three pools, two kids pools, and three hot tubs
Disco party: Part of the nightly entertainment
Kayak and snorkel: Nonmotorized watersports are included with your stay.
Swim with the fishes: Scuba-diving and other excursions are available for an extra fee.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic: Waterfalls, Beaches, and Centuries-Old Historical Sites

Situated on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata is best known for its sun-kissed beaches. But the province has several breathtaking geographical features inland as well. Damajagua is a natural water park of sorts—it features 27 waterfalls flowing from limestone rock formations. Tour guides lead groups through the falls, and you can swim and occasionally slide down the natural water slides.

You can get an aerial view of Puerto Plata and the Caribbean Sea on a teleférico, or cable car. One of them climbs 2,565 feet to the apex of Mount Isabel de Torres, which is crowned with blooming botanical gardens and a replica of Rio de Janeiro’s massive Christ the Redeemer statue. It’s also worth it to take a scenic drive to Parque Histórico La Isabela, where you’ll find the remains of a church as well as ruins of a colonial village where Columbus routinely woke his neighbors by blasting the Santa Maria’s foghorn.

Chicago’s Magnificent Mile: Upscale Boutiques and Historic Architecture

On Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, landmark skyscrapers such as the John Hancock Center and the Wrigley Building tower over the city’s liveliest retail corridor. In total, this stretch of high-end real estate houses some 460 stores, ranging from exclusive designers such as Armani and Chanel to beloved brands including Apple, American Girl, and Gap. Double-decker buses and horse-drawn carriages circle the Chicago Water Tower, a limestone icon that survived the Great Chicago Fire, and droves of shoppers navigate eight levels of boutiques and cafés at the nearby Water Tower Place.

Lake Shore Drive runs two blocks east of Michigan Avenue. Travel + Leisure called this stretch “the greatest architecture road on earth” thanks to the superstar skyscrapers lined up along the lakefront. Looming above them all, of course, is the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower)—the tallest building in North America. Runners, cyclists, and runaway lawn mowers travel the adjoining Lakefront Trail throughout the year. A mile and a half north, crowds gather at North Avenue Beach during the summer to people watch, play volleyball, and listen to live music at beachfront bars.

Cancún: Cool White Sands and Mayan Relics

Located on a barrier island shaped like the number seven, Cancún’s Hotel Zone juts into the Caribbean Sea at the northeast tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. With the sea on one side and freshwater lagoons on the other, it’s a popular spot for sailing and snorkeling. Although the beaches and barrier reefs are a major draw, the geography is equally enticing further inland, where you can dive into an underground river or take a speedboat through a mangrove jungle.

Cancún pulls in millions of visitors each year, so escaping the crowds and the party atmosphere isn’t always easy, but a visit to Playa Delfines offers a chance for sunbathing in relative seclusion. Resorts have yet to encroach upon this stretch of sand, and it’s especially popular with surfers.

The stone columns of El Rey Ruins, an ancient Mayan site dating back to the second and third centuries BCE, lie within the city’s Hotel Zone. Believed to be a royal burial ground, the archaeological site is also home to wild iguanas that lounge in the sun and read Tom Clancy novels. For a Mayan-themed day trip, take a 1.5-hour drive from Cancún down the coast to Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city located on a bluff overlooking the sea—one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most visited Mayan ruins. The Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, is only a 2.5-hour drive from Cancún.
