CAMPING chairs are not only useful for camping, but it's a great choice for the park, picnics, outdoor events and even the garden if you don’t want to leave patio furniture out all year round. Keep a couple in the storage cupboard and you’ll find yourself taking them out for all sorts of reasons. Generally, you get what you pay for with camping equipment – the more expensive designs tend to be sturdier and will last longer, though there’s no shame in buying budget chairs if you’re only going to be using them occasionally. On that, one important thing to consider before investing in camping chairs is where you’re going to store them, as some designs, though folding, still take up a fair amount of space. You’ll also need to think about how comfortable you want to be – many camping chairs sit lower to the ground than normal chairs so can be tricky to get out of, and some aren’t padded so can become uncomfortable after a while. Our round-up of portable camping chairs brings you … [Read more...] about The 13 best camping chairs you can buy in 2021

Creative Capital: The multi-racial Singapore chef taking the private dining world by storm
“The unbelievable deliciousness of Chef Tariq’s cooking had the ability to magic away reality.” That is what critics have been saying about Chef Tariq Helou and his pop-up restaurant Division Supper Club. Helou is half-Lebanese, one quarter Japanese, and one quarter Chinese. But most importantly, he is 100 per cent Singaporean. For eight months in 2019, this accomplished chef, who is still in his mid-twenties, ran one of the most exciting (and always sold out) private dining experiences in town. Division Supper Club, started with business partner Aidan Wee, popped up in restaurants all over Singapore, serving Helou’s unique East-West cuisine, which draws as much upon his own mixed heritage as it does his training in Europe and Japan. Helou and Wee have plans to open their first restaurant this year. The latest post on the Division Supper Club Instagram page teases us with a set of keys. Turns out, the pair have taken over a space on Rangoon Road, formerly the home of dessert … [Read more...] about Creative Capital: The multi-racial Singapore chef taking the private dining world by storm

A short walk from the historic dining district, builders find a market for scrape-n-builds in downtown Littleton
Veteran real estate agent Jack Fine has been watching the ups-and-downs of Denver’s market for going-on 36 years, but he’s never, ever seen one quite like this. “It’s crazy; we’re seeing multiple offers in all price ranges,” Fine adds, noting that inventory is super-low—particularly in the $400,000 to $600,000 range. But he can let you walk a real listing today at a price range well beyond that—one that’s a reflection of how well Littleton’s historic downtown dining district has been doing, despite Covid. At 5956 S. Sycamore Street, Littleton, you can visit a custom single-family row home by builder JT Home Building that’s been created for a scraped site, one with enough of a west-facing slope to provide mountain views from its bedroom level. It’s three weeks short of its final punch list but is ready for viewing today. You’ll see a mid-century modern plan that’s somewhat like new row homes in historic Denver neighborhoods, but with a wider entertaining area and bedroom … [Read more...] about A short walk from the historic dining district, builders find a market for scrape-n-builds in downtown Littleton
Exclusive— CPAC Sunshine Edition: ACU Chair Matt Schlapp Says Mega Conservative Conference Considering Permanent Move to Florida
ORLANDO, Florida — American Conservative Union (ACU) chairman Matt Schlapp told Breitbart News exclusively that his organization’s decision to move its landmark conservative gathering, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), to Florida this year may be a more permanent relocation after all. CPAC begins Friday in Orlando, Florida, and for the first time in the historic conference’s decades-long history, it will not be in Washington, DC, or the D.C. area. Presidents from Ronald Reagan through Donald Trump and conservative luminaries of all stripes from senators to governors to U.S. House members to cabinet members and more have graced the stages of CPAC over the decades many times, so the move — due to the coronavirus pandemic — is a big one. The fact that it may be permanent — a huge loss for the D.C. area revenue-wise as the conference regularly brings in tens of thousands of travelers for several days — is even bigger as just days from now, former President Donald … [Read more...] about Exclusive— CPAC Sunshine Edition: ACU Chair Matt Schlapp Says Mega Conservative Conference Considering Permanent Move to Florida
