SPARE THY KNUCKLES: Here’s a heads-up for anyone slow to relinquish that creaky old hand-held can opener. Not only does Black & Decker’s Lids Off machine tackle cans and bottles, this 3-in-1-countertop device also puts an end to sweating over too-tight jar lids. Simply place the jar inside Lids Off, and it’s opened in seconds with the touch of a button. Lids Off comes in three colors and at press time was on sale for as low as $24.99 at bdappliancestore.com.

LIVE ARTFULLY: A European Village inspired by extensive travel and study abroad is the final residential offering at The Landmark, the ambitious luxury housing and retail development beginning to take shape just west of I-70 in Greenwood Village. Landscaping, interior design and architectural details at The Landmark in general and its European Village in particular were gleaned from such stoic locales as Rome’s Coppedè neighborhood and London’s Mayfair District. The public is invited to a preview party of The Landmark’s European Village homes from 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesday. Call 303-721-0500 to receive an invitation. Landmark backers will donate $20 for each person who attends to The Kempe Foundation for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect.
