However, it took me a long time to figure out, how as the owner of said video I could download the original file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/70646/"&gt;Flickr Help Forum&lt;/a&gt;, here's how:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Click the Embed link above your video, the download link is on that page."&lt;br /&gt;(At the very bottom)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interested in downloading files from your Flickr account in a batch?  Apparently &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/71234/"&gt;Flishr&lt;/a&gt; did that for a while.  (Not sure if it still does.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://vikingospub.blogspot.com/"&gt;Juan Pablo&lt;/a&gt; has a interesting sounding &lt;a href="http://vikingospub.blogspot.com/2006/05/mass-download-original-photos-from.html"&gt;solution involving Firefox and some extensions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From his blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;It involves:&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.getfirefox.com/"&gt;firefox&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748/"&gt;greasemonkey&lt;/a&gt; extension installed&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201/"&gt;DownThemAll!&lt;/a&gt; extension installed&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2012"&gt;Flickr - Link Original Image&lt;/a&gt; script for greasemonkey&lt;br /&gt;- and of course, a &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/"&gt;flickr&lt;/a&gt; account&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, go to a page in flickr for where you want to download the photos, the best is a set page photo or a tag one, where all the photos are displayed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the page, right click and select DownThemAll!..., and then in the links tab select "Images" in the Inclusive Filters section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, click Start and wait for the downloads. That's all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Juan!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&lt;/div&gt;

Ask the guests to bring a bike helmet. When they arrive, you adorn their helmets with foil. Then they build a rocket and cut out some windows. They decorate it with sparkles and streamers and markers and stickers. Then they put on their "space helmets" and you count down to blast off about 500 times and they go in and out and and in and out. This will keep them amused for&lt;br /&gt;many minutes. Trust me. And after that you can play pin the astronaut on the moon and have an asteroid hunt (for silver Hershey kisses) and play statues by "moon-walking" to the theme from 2001 A Space Odyssey. If all goes well, you'll barely have time for cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&lt;/div&gt;

When the music stops, the kid holding the parcel takes off a layer of paper - the 2 year olds and 3 year olds probably need adult help so they don't unwrap the whole thing. You could use gift bags and fabric bags and boxes for some of the layers. In the middle you should have treats or mini toys for all to share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.haloscan.com/comments/mothership/549656828874246682/#234890"&gt;http://www.haloscan.com/comments/mothership/549656828874246682/#234890&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with the additional twist I saw done once where the child who unwraps gets a task to do -- you have a list of tasks and give the right one to each child. Things like, "sing ABC" or "twirl around" or "make a funny face." You control the music to make sure each child gets one turn. Birthday child gets a second turn at the end and opens the box of treats and hands them out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&lt;/div&gt;

I took pictures of lots of things in our house and then taped those pictures around the house for them to navigate. So, for example, they started with a picture of the kitchen chairs. When they went to the chairs, they found a picture of the fridge. When they got to the fridge, they found a picture of the couch, etc. Eventually they got to a pile of stuffed animals marked with an X-marks-the-spot. They dug through the animals until they found two treasure chests filled with Mardi Gras beads and fake gold coins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could probably have the kids follow the course in small groups if you have too many kids to do it all at once. I'm pretty sure you could do it all in one room if you used small pictures on small items (or people) throughout the room. It doesn't matter if they can see where the final X is. Following the path seemed to be the fun part.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&lt;/div&gt;

We also made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls and yarn (taped together, punch holes &amp; attach yarn)and marked the kids names on them and had them decorate them with stickers before starting the search.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another option is buying inexpensive bugs at the dollar store, and do the same hide &amp;amp; seek kind of thing, we were going to use those giant bug puppets from Price Club and then have little containers of the dollar store bugs near them for the kids to collect 1 each and put it their dollar store bugbox (and party favor!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&lt;/div&gt;

You just hang a sheet or a tablecloth at waist height (we draped ours ontwo kitchenchairs in a corner). One parent is behind the cloth and another is with thechildren on theother side of the tablecloth. You also need a "fishing pole" (we used a lightbamboo doweland attached a ribbon with a clothes pin tied to the end). Ask the children totake turnsfishing and hand them the rod. When they hang the "rod" over the cloth, theadult behindthe cloth attaches a small gift that they can reel in. The kids really seemed to like the game and it helped take the edge off the gift unwrapping part of the partybecause eachguest received a little gift. Easiest is to have gifts that girls and boys wouldlike--stickers,crayons, small books and a few extra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&lt;/div&gt;

Drop an unwrapped roll of Mentos into a freshly opened 2L bottle of soda and stand back. The pop becomes a geyser of foam guaranteed to soak the ceiling of anybody foolish enough to try it indoors. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And the obligatory Google search turned up a &lt;a href="http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2005/12/08/the_diet_coke_and_mentos_experience.php"&gt;bazillion&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000109"&gt;sites&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.wkrc.com/weather/DopplerTim/story.aspx?content_id=20E767B8-0BE7-411F-9569-CBC6A07B295A"&gt;describing&lt;/a&gt; this experiment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my favourite one is this from &lt;a href="http://eepybird.com/dcm1.html"&gt;EepyBird.com&lt;/a&gt;. Two-hundred liters of Diet Coke combined with over 500 Mentos mints. It's amazing and completely insane.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&lt;/div&gt;
