- Not what we expectedFefyDined on 9/16/2014Unfortunately we didnt receive the service quality we expected and the dining process wasn't memorable.Special Features:
- Over pricedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014The food was mediocre at best. The service was poor. I asked if the bill was correct at the restaurant and was ensured it was. Upon reviewing the online menu I'm quite sure we were significantly over charged. A 20% gratuity was automatically added in, and service was nothing special. It was interesting to see Versace's mansion but the area to lounge, dine and use the restrooms in was "tired". Upon arriving they have you sitting outside alone on the front patio, zero ambiance, no cocktails, I finally asked to be seated at the bar until our table was ready. We had a 7pm reservation and they were already out of several items in the menu. They are attempting to be luxury, and failing miserably. I would not recommend.Special Features:
- Versace mansionFoodieDined on 9/14/2014Hidden charges 3.50 for ice in drink,switched fish w/o telling ,resevation for 7 pm ,guests not allowed in til 7:15 poor MNGT for overpriced food an drinks ,poor experience ,never go backSpecial Features:
- Too Bad....OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014My wife and I each had an entree and one glass of wine. I only had two pieces of fish and one piece of bread (its like they were hoarding the bread...what happened to a nice warm bread basket. Obviously I will never be back to give it a second chance...but maybe you can fix it so that others can enjoy the Versace Mansion.....Thinking back how easy it was to get reservations there I should have known the service was probably not that great..that space/venue it should be nearly impossible to get a table for a month or so, I don't care what season it i Joe 561-809-8928 this website did not allow me to writ in my full review...there is a character limit...you
- MemorableMemorableDined on 9/12/2014The setting inside the Versace mansion was just spectacular, one of a kind. I particularly enjoyed the cchocolate cake desert. Staff were superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentGreatDined on 9/11/2014Food is amazing, place is beautiful but the service needs attentionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentJeffroDined on 9/11/2014The entire experience was outstanding. The property was breathtaking and exceeded expectations, the service staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The meal was excellent, from the presentation to the flavor. We highly recommend making this a must on your places to visit/dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice but extensivesOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/9/2014Nice dinner but we only went There for seeing the mansion and the part you will see of it is very small and the dinner too expensive. The suit còde Washington followed by us but we were very surprised when we saw a customer with sneakers, sweetshirt and a baseball cap!!! And no problem! Why???
- Rude StaffNicolethetravellerDined on 9/7/2014I loved Il Sole. Beautiful restaurant in Gianni's old home. Only problem I had was that Gratuities are added ( 20%) to the bill. Our bill came out to 154$ with gratuities so we paid 160$ cash. The waitress never came back with our change. Although it is only 6$ I found that was very rude and disrespectful especially since we paid the 20% which was 24$ in tips. Because of this, I found the service to be very uptight and snobbish. Besides the staff, everything else was excellent and it was a night to remember!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice.AlphaGammaDined on 9/5/2014The food is incredible, but be aware that the entire restaurant gives off an aura of pomposity. I was informed specifically of their more formal dress code via phone. I fretted, but they're not as strict as they say. I saw a man wearing a short-sleeve button-up, and they let my friend in with nice sneakers. I saw no jackets. Expect no tap water here. We were furnished with endless Evian refills (which showed up on our bill). Finally, make sure you request the poolside veranda. It offers a beautiful view of the mansion's mosaic pool and surrounding area.Special Features:
- alixan18Dined on 9/5/2014We had a lovely evening and it was great to get to see the setting of the versace mansion. But we asked if we could have a table inside the dining room and they couldn't confirm anything so we had a table on the balcony facing the pool.... sounds great but in 30 degree heat made the dining experience quite uncomfortable we finished our main courses and had to leave shortly after. We poked our heads in the dining room after and it was very opulent and air conditioned. .. It's an interesting menu and we all enjoyed it but probably wouldn't return, it was a one off, more so just to check out the setting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- VERSACE MANSIONgordoDined on 9/2/2014BEAUTIFUL PLACE GREAT FOOD IN SERVICE WOW PLACE LIKE NO OTHERSpecial Features:
- Thank youArtistDined on 8/29/2014The Villa by Barton G the world famous verserce mansion in Miami.we were there for my friend 50th Birth days cerebratin. I was expecting to get the Birthday cake that I had ordered previoudly with my friends name on it .When server returned with a cake it had no name on it .Disapointed.But I did not said anything to server,its not her fault.I did not ruin the mood either.....overall Service was slow and my water glasses was empty for long time.no attention to empty glasses......the meal was fair.When I voiced my concern the night manager Mr Freddy ,tried to make amends.For that reasons,we shall be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun TimeGlamorousAdventuresDined on 8/23/2014It was a lovely lunch and very fresh tasty food, if there were tours around the villa, it would be even better. As a visitor you find the overall Miami service a bit slow and less attentive than lets say in NYC or Boston, but nevertheless very polite staff and enjoyable time.Special Features:
- Spectacular but pretentiousG4LJDined on 8/20/2014As we're were on vacation we thought this would be a must see as to the history and the strong legacy behind the Versace name!!!!! While the views and building were spectacular, the food was some what a let down... Not overpriced as a one off but lacked the personal touch. The servers found it very hard to understand us and made this a little awkward for us . The tables are set very close to each other so if your thinking romance forget it!!! As for the dress code we took this as a must yet only to be next to a family with children all dressed in jeans and A&F tshirts??? Would we recommend it well no not really.... It's a shame because the opportunities could be out of this world leaving you with an experience one would never forget !!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disaster!BillyinMiamiVIPDined on 8/19/2014Ice Tea is 6! They make you feel like a second class citizen by not letting you permission to view the completely empty pool area " reserved for hotel guests". The entire " experience" is sold to you by being in the Versace Mansion. There is better food everywhere and the arrogance of the manager, Max, was enough to keep me away forever. I'm sure it will be bankrupt again and probably should be with their holier than holy attitude! Arriverderci!
- Hot Food?HelloDined on 8/17/2014Would have liked hot food other then hamburger. Thousand times better then anything on Ocean Drive regardless.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful castle with average foodL2RnSFDined on 8/16/2014The reception and the place were what we expected, the food presentation not at level of an international restaurant. The service was average. We will keep for ourselves the view of the pool and the walls decoration. The temperature in the VIP room was too high, so it was not comfortable. The dessert was delucious, chef did a great job.Special Features:
- Mejor de lo esperadoLuj69giacDined on 8/13/2014Sinceramente era más la inquietud de conocer la Mansión , pero haber cenado en Il Sole realmente mereció la pena. No sólo el ambiente es Exelente , si no, la comida también, todo bien Italiano, muy buen pan, los platos acordes al precio.. Que pueden verse un tanto caros ... Pero relación precio calidad de todo ....bien vale la pena ir.Special Features:
- Overrated and pretentiousParisianfoodieVIPDined on 8/13/2014Long service, average food, high price, pretentious place and overpriced. To be avoided!
- Very Versace styling !!BbudhraniDined on 8/6/2014Went out for my wife's birthday. Was great. The food was good but not great but the service and ambience was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/3/2014I went here for brunch. The lunch menu is nothing to rave about. I had a club sandwich and it was good. Nothing out of the ordinary. You pay for the ambience and that is it.
- Such a gem!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/2/2014Wonderful! Service was excellent!! Food was delicious !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous venuePalatepleasingDined on 8/2/2014The venue dining at the Versace Mansion is spectacular. We decided to go given the unique location and we could dine poolside not expecting fabulous food (given a friend's experience a year or two prior.) This night in Aug 2014 the food quality was very poor: the Florida snapper fish was dry and tasted fishy, it came with two hearts of palm, one was edible and other was hard as a rock, the side we ordered of creamy broccoli rabe was too tough to be eaten. They did bring us french fries (not much better) when we returned the other food as inedible. They add a 20% gratuity and some other percentage (city tax/sales tax). This explains why we could get a last minute reservation.Special Features:
- V mansion experienceSalsaking1Dined on 7/27/2014There's no point dinning inside or you miss the view. Our waitress explained our food which shows why it's that expensive. A surreal dining experience depending on the history point of view. Staff were attentive and polite and not stuffy. I would go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SuperLucyDined on 7/26/2014Excellent food and very nice restaurant beautiful musicSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulrebeccaVIPDined on 7/25/2014It was a very special experience. Would highly recommend the wagyu beef tartare and the fruti del mar. Excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Il SoleCLEtoMIADined on 7/24/2014Wow. This place is breathtaking. We dined inside of Versace's former main dining room and followed that with a tour of the grounds. The steak was cooked just right, the waiter kept our wine glasses filled and the tour of Versace's house was the perfect ending to the perfect dinner.Special Features:
- Amazing service.sobe14Dined on 7/24/2014The hosts were literally on their toes. Before my water glass could even get empty it was filled, very knowledgeable about the menu.Amazing food & drinks as well. Loved it!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing DisasterTabsDined on 7/12/2014Told to wait outside for the hostess to show us to bar. 10 minutes of hanging around outside & we found our own way to the bar. Drinks order was incorrect and ended up confusing & embarrassing. Finally seated outside by the pool which was a lovely setting. Service very slow. One of our meals was completely forgotten so my husband had to share his meal with our friend, or wait to have his meal cooked. When it began to rain, the ceiling leaked all over us so we had to move the table. Drinks service so bad that a man on an adjacent table started pouring our wine for us! Refused to pay $80 tip & reduced it to $40 - the manager argued with me all the way to the door. Then friend's credit card blocked for extra $300! Would never go back.Special Features:
- Must Try!!!!EricaDined on 7/6/2014All I can say is AMAZING! My bf took me for my birthday and from the moment we walking in to the moment we left, it was the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant.Special Features:
- GillybeanDined on 7/5/2014Superb dining experience, fantastic environment and excellent food! Unfortunately there was a few favourite items not available on the menu and this would have been helpful to know prior to order, however we managed to reorganise ourselves and the overall experience was out of this world!!! Worth the money and the visit I promise!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wedding night dinnerChasNAmyDined on 7/2/2014We chose this restaurant as the locale for our wedding night. From start to finish, it was everything I expected in service, presentation, and taste. We were the only ones dining inside, and as such, our dining experience was very personalized. I will definitely return when in South BeachSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Watch the billOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/26/2014Watch the bill, prices in menu versus final bill are different They were trying to overchrge 20%!!!
- Food and Ambience UnderwhelmingBonVivantDined on 6/26/2014Husband and I went here for a special occasion. Slight air of desperation and a lack of true elegance in the service. Very obviously trying to maximize revenue. We didn't want a bottle of wine, so ordered Mojitos. The charged us - get this - $25 per Mojito. I live in NYC and this joint managed to give me liquor sticker shock..ha! The food is sub-par, on it's own, and especially for the price. We went here more for the ambiance, and did not have high expectations of the food. Let's just say we were disappointed - the villa is pretty, but dinner guests are restricted to a small terrace, which overlooks the famous mosaic and pool. A rope keeps you at a safe distance, since really experiencing their beauty is reserved for hotel guests.
- RitzDined on 6/24/2014We loved the grilled octopus appetizer the best - it was truly exceptional. The Whole Dover Sole served in a pan was delicious and a very big portion with perfect vegetables - whole carrots, asparagus and three types of baby potatoes. The service was attentive and impeccable. An extraordinary setting. We chose it for our first wedding anniversary celebration and it was a perfect choice.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 6/22/2014The place is excellent, but the service is so slow. The food was not of the standard expected, the sashimi was hot and the fish took more than 30 minutes was cold.Special Features:
- Anniversary dinnerDinerDined on 6/19/2014The food was amazing. Phenomenal wine. The mansion is the most beautiful home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Il Sole is magnificentlovinglifeDined on 6/18/2014My wife and I celebrated our 20 anniversary dinner at Il Sole and it was a most memorable evening. The old Versace Mansion in South Beach is home to Il Sole and it is wonderful in every way. We were escorted though the main entrance to a quaint little bar off the center courtyard for a glass of wine. We were then taken to a small, lovely out door patio overlooking the stunning pool and deck area. As the light of daylight dimmed the setting became magical. We not only savored this wonderful setting, but also the equally incredible food and attentive service. If you want to impress a date or have a very romantic evening with your lover, Il Sole is the place.Special Features:
- Wonderful eveningRmlackDined on 6/10/2014My husband and I went for dinner and couldn't have asked for a better meal. The service was wonderful, the food was excellent, and the ambiance unmatched. Truly a fantastic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Research is an important part of treating cancer but finding a wide array of patients to take part in clinical trials can be difficult.
Columbia Basin Hematology and Oncology is one of just 10 sites chosen across the nation to take part in some innovative blood cancer therapies. The idea is to bring these trials closer to where patients live to get more people involved. Right now, they are typically only available to people who live near large universities. The closest to the Tri-Cities is in Seattle and for people living here and dealing with the disease that is a difficult trip.

There is killing happening in the hills of Tracy.
In my opinion, the hunting of Tule elk is nothing more than legalized poaching. A recent article in the Stockton Record referred to the Tule elk as a Mark Connolly's elk. Does he own them? These are God's creatures, not his to do whatever he chooses.
The article also stated he "maintains" the elk with "his agreement" with the state. Is it Connolly who set the bounty of $10,500 dollars per elk? To what kind of "agreement" are we referring? Is the good old boy network still in effect? Was it a backdoor agreement?
That's all this kill is, just a big game — who benefits from the big-game hunting? Connolly also stated that the elk "don't like people contact very much." These big game hunters wouldn't like people contact if they were getting shot at with a high-powered rifle. Do we have a new group? The new TRAQKE? The Tracy Region Alliance for Quality Killing of Elk? What's next, agreements to put up bounty and hunt the kit fox?

A North Carolina state Senator is not backing away from comments he posted on Twitter comparing Obamacare to Nazis. It was a part of a tweet that many people found offensive, including a survivor of the Holocaust.
Charlotte Republican Bob Rucho tweeted on Sunday, "Justice Robert's pen & Obamacare has done more damage to the USA then the swords of the Nazis, Soviets & terrorists combined."
That tweet has sparked a heated conversation statewide and across the Internet.
"When I read Senator Rucho's quote this morning, it just made my blood boil," Bob Mulder, a real estate agent in Raleigh, said Monday.
Mulder's parents survived Nazi occupation in The Netherlands.
"My parents never talked about it much," Mulder said, "My relatives never talked about it much, but when they did, it was a pretty horrifying story."
It's a horrifying story that Susan Cernyak-Spatz of Charlotte lived through. Her mother did not. She was one of the six million Jews killed in The Holocaust.
On Monday, Cernyak-Spatz told WCNC-TV, "The Comparisons are so obscene," and said Rucho should resign.
"To compare that to the murders of the holocaust, to the battlefields, to the millions that died, it's insensitive and obscene. absolutely obscene," she said.
Rucho is not bowing to critics. He told WCNC he has no regrets and no apologies.
"I'm entitled to my speech. it wasn't derogatory," Rucho said. "If it was taken that way, that's because of their own personal problems, not mine."
Rucho says he was making a point about Obamacare's impact on the economy compared to war, in a 140 characters or less.
"Six million people have lost their healthcare, but nobody seems to be concerned about it. I am," he said.
Back in Raleigh, Mulder told WNCN he's heard enough. He plans to vote with his wallet.
"When he runs for re-election, I will do some research on who's running against him," Mulder said, "and if I find a good person down there that's moderate, and who will listen to both sides of the aisle, they'll get a check."
North Carolina Republican Party chairman Claude Pope has asked Rucho to apologize, calling the tweet "highly offensive."
Rucho says he has no need to respond to Pope, and that what he stands on is the truth.
North Carolina Democratic Party spokesman Micah Beasley called Rucho's remarks "outrageous."
Derick is a reporter for WNCN covering crime, education, politics and just about everything in between. He has a knack for adapting to any story and consistently delivers information quickly across multiple platforms. More>>

The community turned out to honor four of its top citizens Tuesday night as the annual citizen awards were presented by the Progress Times at the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce banquet.
Long-time insurance agent Sylvia Wolf was named First Lady of Mission and retired pharmacist Ricardo Martinez was honored as Mr. Mission. These awards are for long-term service to the community.
Selected as Man of the Year was Dr. Noel O. Garza, DDS and Cuquis Cerda was honored as Woman of the Year. Man and Woman of the Year awards are for civic or church service for two or more years. All of the honorees were presented with plaques by the 2010 recipients of the same awards.
Ricardo Martinez was honored for over 30 years of service on a variety of boards. Announcing the award at the banquet, Progress Times Publisher Jim Brunson said, "This is a man with a remarkable record of service to our hometown of Mission." And he is not slowing down. "Like the Eveready Bunny, he just keeps on serving," Brunson added.
Martinez served on the Mission school board for 14 years, from 1987-2001, serving two terms as president. He presently serves on the Hospital Foundation board, the Fountain of Mercies Ministries board, Mission Regional Medical Center (MRMC) board and Mission Economic Development board. He previously served on the hospital board from 1981-1989, filling all the board positions, including chairman of the board and was asked to serve again, in 2008.
He served 10 years on the San Juan Nursing board of directors, until 2010, serving eight years as president. He is a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, where he has served as a lector, and is a member of St. Paul's Catholic Church Men's ACTS Choir, where he plays keyboard. Martinez is also a past member of the Mission Planning and Zoning Commission.
Sylvia Wolf started her career at Mission Duncan Insurance Agency in 1981 and has been highly involved in the community for 30 years. She served on the board of directors for the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce from 1990-1996 and served as the organization's first female chairperson during that time. She has been a supporter and participant in the Annual Poinsettia Show, the Mission Garden Club and the Texas Citrus Fiesta.
She is a is a long-time member and the treasurer for Damas Catolicas of Mission and Catholic Daughters of the America's Court St. Rose of Lima #827, where she is a past regent, having served two terms as regent for the court. Both organizations are affiliated with the Catholic Church offering service opportunities and spiritual development for their membership. She has served as a CCD teacher for the church and is presently the lector coordinator at St. Paul's Catholic Church where she has served in that position over 20 years. She now sits on the liturgy committee for the parish.
Amidst this very busy life, her family needs have been great. Her daughter, Penny Wolf, told the Progress Times, "Our family has been through a lot in recent years and my mother has been such an inspirational source of strength and faith through this time. Her father suffered a massive stroke about 30 years ago and she has been a constant through all the ups and downs…She is incredibly caring when working with him, and this is also evident in her interactions with others."
Brunson said Dr. Noel Garza "embodies that spirit of service by a younger generation dedicated to making Mission a better place to live."
Garza has taken a strong interest in serving the youth, having served on the board of the Mission Boys & Girls Club for the past three years and as a Sharyland school board member since 2007. He was president of the Sharyland school board last year and this year serves as president of the Boys & Girls Club board.
He also serves on the board of directors for the non-profit organization
Dentists Who Care.
Professionally, he served on the board of the Rio Grande Valley District Dental Society four years, from 2000 to 2004, serving as president in 2004.
Currently, he serves on the Texas Department of Health State Medicaid Committee, appointed by the Texas Dental Association.
Cuquis Cerda, the wife of Mission City Manager Julio Cerda, comes from a small community in Mexico, and has quickly woven herself into the fabric of Mission. Growing up in the humble condition of her small hometown attuned her to being responsive to the needs of others, said Progress Times Community News Editor Mendi Brunson.
This busy mother of three currently serves on the board of The Foundation of Mission Regional Medical Center and has also participated in fundraising efforts with the North American Butterfly Association to make the Visitors Center at the park a reality. Additionally, she served on the planning committee to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the City of Mission.
She has been an effective volunteer in securing donations to keep the Rainbow Room at the Mission Police Department stocked with clothing, shoes and books for victims of violence.
She served as the chairperson of the fundraising committee for the San Cristobal de Magallanes Church to be constructed at the Plantation Subdivision in Mission.
In addition, she collects donations for Casa Amparo in Reynosa where she sends shoes for the orphans, and collects donations of medical supplies and equipment for her hometown's clinic in San Fernando, Tamaulipas.
"Her children are sure to emulate her example as they often accompany her when she is volunteering at the food pantry, the hospital, at city hall events, the museum, her church and even other people's churches when called upon," said Mendi Brunson.

In the National Football League there is one secret to success. Winning. Tony Dungy knows that as well as anyone. But this coach, who has broken so many barriers, also believes there is a right and wrong way to win.
"Early in my career I had people say, oh you can't do this, you can't be as close to the players as you have been, you can't show that type of feeling for the players. But I've ever felt that way. I've always felt we could win doing it the Lord's way and last year proved that we could" says Coach Dungy "It really defines me. And I tell our players at the start of every season this is how I'm going to coach, this is how I'm going to run the team because its who I am. It is what I believe in and hopefully that twill never change. And hopefully I'll not give into any pressure to be different or to change."
Over the years Coach Dungy has made many friends including Dallas evangelist Dr. Tony Evans, whose church Coach Dungy came this month to speak to a men's conference. Since the Super Bowl, the platform to share his faith has grown. And Coach Dungy uses that time not just to talk about football but to share the story as a young rookie in Pittsburgh he learned the bigger meaning of prayer and faith.
"And I really didn't understand the whole picture," says Dungy. "Then I got to Pittsburgh and saw this group of really great athletes who were really great Christians and their spiritual life showed up on the field, in practice, 24 hours a day. And that was unique for me to see these guys live this way. And the more they took me under their wing and I understood it was reading, learning, being an example all of those things went into it. That you had to put Christ number one in you life all the time, that's when I really started growing as a 21 year old 1st year player in the NFL."
Since that time it is a way most who know him say he has lived his life in the good and bad times. From the turmoil that is NFL as well as personal tragedy like the recent death of his son, a consistent faith says Coach is what gets him through the ups and downs of life.
"It really does. I think you faith and your beliefs anytime you are in a situation where you have ups and downs, I think that is very important," says Coach. "Those ups and downs can come very fast in the National Football League. You can be a hero for 59 minutes and then one bad play and you lose the game and your not the hero anymore. It happens fast for us. So I think you have to have that balance, you have to have that faith to lean so you don't go up and down like a roller coaster everyday."
Living out your faith, says Coach Dungy, is a little easier sometimes when you have friends like Big Sandy's Lovie Smith. Though the two stood across from each other in the Super Bowl, they find themselves standing side by side in how they try to lead their teams.
"We have a great relationship. Even playing against each other. We probably talk twice a month during the season. Just going back and forth. How is your team doing how are we doing, what problems are we facing. How we can communicate better with our guys. Its great to have those kind of people in the league because again I think he's giving the message you can do it this way, you can do it the Lord's way and still be excellent and still have success," says Dungy.
While a Super Bowl win certainly changes a lot of things... Coach prays now it never changes him... or the simple philosophy he learned a long time ago.
"My mom and dad talked about how you treat people. That's the most important thing. Not what you do, not what job you have, but who you meet and how you treat them. And that's something I have never forgotten. And I think just understanding the Bible. And understanding that God is in control, He has created all of us. I've got a great platform now because the Lord given it to me. But I'm no different than anyone else and I think I understand that."

Autumn Liberty Blouse
I'm thinking that Grumbles is looking so snazzy in her new Liberty blouse that maybe, just maybe, I should make one for myself!
Project Details
Pattern: Blouse #15 from Ottobre Magazine 1/2005
Fabric: 80cm of Liberty Tana Lawn in Wiltshire Red from Tessuti Fabrics
Notions: 42cm of elastic for neckline
This is the same pattern as the other blouse I made up for Grumbles. On this one, however, I didn't elasticise the sleeves, nor put any ribbon detail on the yoke gathering. Such a simple, sweet blouse that really shows off the fabric, and man does it look good with a pair of black cords and boots.
Yep, gotta make one for me, and soon!

2012 Engagement Ring TrendsAn engagement ring is unlike other baubles, bangles and beads: It's no mere frill or trinket but perhaps the most important jewelry she'll own. Here we drop a few hints for finding that one piece of ice that will melt hearts.
Colored Stones and Metals
There's no question that the past decade's favorite engagement ring pick was forged from white gold or platinum and set with a white diamond. Every good trend must come to an end, and we're now seeing more ring choices glowing with color. The priciest are colored diamonds in yellow, pink, blue, chocolate and even edgy black. The next tier offers other precious and durable stones like rubies, emeralds, tanzanites and sapphires of all hues. Much more affordable, but just as eye-catchingly colorful, are the semi-precious picks in citrine, blue topaz, garnet and peridot. Don't forget the metal — yellow gold is making a serious comeback (with a special subset of yellow diamonds set in yellow gold bands), and rose gold is truly the tint du jour. For those who can't decide, have it all with a two-tone engagement ring in white and yellow.
Antique and Vintage Style
Everything old is new again, as the appetite for engagement rings that reflect the past shows no signs of diminishing. Think: the ornate detailing of Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, Art Nouveau's free-form curves or the glamorous architectural lines of Art Deco design. Engagement rings echoing these eras are heavy on embellishment, with intricate metalwork creating mesmerizing bands and settings, and milgrain and filigree accents adding a sense of substance. There's also frequent use of paved and micropaved stones, which increases the dazzle factor, even on rings in which the center stone is of a more affordable, smaller-carat weight. Floral and nature-inspired designs offer curvilinear charm and leaf motifs, while the more geometrically clean choice of a three-stone ring both hark back to the Victorian era and symbolizes a couple's past, present and future.

The Subaru WRX has established its superiority with an affordable price tag and unforgettable all-around performance.
The WRX in stock trim can be a competitor almost anywhere it goes, whether it is rally or road racing; out of the box, this car disappoints many adversaries.
The five-speed transmission, however, is the topic of conversation for many enthusiasts on the street and many competitors at the track. The majority of the complaint list goes as follows:
Gear Set Symptoms1)Hard launches break first gear2) The car will not go back into first gear unless you come to a complete stop3) Fifth gear is absolutely useless at the track4) Constantly stuck between the top of first and the power in second5) Transmission makes noise during deceleration
These aren't reflective of the opinions of the average WRX owner, but instead from those who push their WRXs to the very edge. Of course, as always, preventative maintenance is the name of the game for the WRX and its not-so-loved transmission.
Most of our testing was done with a few rally-prepped WRXs. Rallying is the ultimate test bed for any product because of its extreme conditions. A rule of thumb is, if it can stand up to rallying, it will stand up pretty much anywhere.
1)Hard Launches Break First GearMost complaints come from those who have admitted to revving pretty high before dumping the clutch. The AWD cars are great for getting power to the ground, offering astounding amounts of traction.
When you modify the 2.0 turbo engine, it's easy to find a lot of torque and horsepower quickly, but remember the rest of the car needs to be addressed to handle the power gains.
The number one suggestion is to be aware of potential weaknesses and don't side step the clutch. It is very possible to launch hard with a little clutch finesse; however, be prepared to regularly maintain the clutch linings.
The other option is going with an after market gear set. Most of the aftermarket gear sets are way stronger than stock, but hard launches can destroy way more than just first gear...trust us.
2) The Car Will Not Go Back Into First Gear Unless You Come To A Complete StopIt always starts with a little synchro scratching going back to first gear. A new car is usually able to find first gear from 20 to 0 mph. Eventually, that speed lessens until all you get is an excruciating grinding noise unless you are at almost a complete stop.
This noise is very frustrating at the track, especially when the track has a lot of hairpins or very tight corners where first gear would be effective. First gear becomes useless as soon as you shift out of it until you come to a complete stop. The first thing to try is upgrading the transmission oil. The factory Subaru oil is not bad, but there are some very advanced lubricants on the market that can help with this problem.
We stumbled into the ultimate Subaru tranny oil info. We all know the basis for R&D on the WRX is rallying, so what does the World Rally Championship Subaru team run in their cars? Neo Synthetic lubricants, which are manufactured and distributed here in the United States.
We tried some Neo gear oil and eliminated a lot of the issues with the synchros going into first and fourth. The car was once again able to find first gear at around 20 mph. If you have been experiencing grinding issues, there's a chance that nothing short of replacing parts can remedy the problems.
3) Fifth Gear Is Absolutely Useless At The TrackA WRX with stock tires will do a little more than 120 mph in fourth gear. As best as we can tell, fifth gear is just for highway cruising and fuel economy. There aren't many venues for club racing that warrant or have the track for speeds of more than 120 mph.
Best option here is an aftermarket gear set that has ratios more inclined to keep the WRX in its powerband throughout every gear. A close ratio system is ideal.


text: (WNFL)- With 11 losses, an N-C-A-A Tournament bid might be a pipe dream for the Marquette men's basketball team. But after winning four-of-their-last-five, the Golden Eagles are not counting themselves out just yet. Marquette hosts Georgetown tonight -- and a win would move the Eagles into a third-place tie with Xavier in the Big East Conference. Marquette is 8-and-6 in conference play, and 16-and-11 overall. Georgetown is 7-and-8 in the league, and is also 16-and-11 overall. Point guard Derrick Wilson says Marquette's tournament destiny is in its hands. With victories in their final four regular season games, Marquette players-and-coaches are certain that the N-C-A-A selection committee will at least think about the Eagles making the Field-of-68. Coach Buzz Williams says the key is to keep improving -- and only control what they can. Also tonight, the U-W Milwaukee men will play their regular season finale Detroit. The Green Bay men are at Oakland.

The first Faculty Working Paper presentation for the spring semester will be given by Professor Mark Jablonowski.
The Faculty Working Paper Series is a monthly event where Barney Faculty present their current working papers prior to publication in an hour-long talk and discussion. The coordinator for the Series is Professor Farhad Rassekh.
Is it possible to implement an efficient economic alternative to market capitalism using economic planning? The debate, which has blown both hot and cold over the last 80 years, has turned on the feasibility of calculating solutions to what amounts to a vast quantity of economic equations.
More recently, issues of respecting the uncertainty and preserving the information content inherent in "real world" economic transactions have surfaced. The question may ultimately be decided not on how much computing power is needed to solve complex economic problems, but rather on how well new solutions are articulated.
New developments in computer "chip level" computation, including the rebirth of electronic analogs and the incorporation of the fuzzy set formalism for computing in complex systems, may impart a greater feasibility to the idea of deliberate public planning that integrates the benefits of the market process for the achievement of social objectives.

Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer, this weekend's two-move challenge is designed to jack up your heart rate and incinerate calories—and help make sure you're ready for "judgment day." (The first time you go shirtless in public in 2014.) "The single-arm kettlebell swing is one of the best moves for burning fat," says Todd Durkin, C.S.C.S., and author of The IMPACT! Body Plan. But instead of resting between fat-sizzling sets of swings, you'll drop to the ground to perform a fast-paced crawl to keep your heart rate elevated to burn even more calories.
Here's how it works: Place two 16 kilogram (kg) kettlebells 5 yards apart. Perform 10 reps of the single-arm kettlebell swing with your right arm, bear crawl to the other kettlebell and perform 10 reps of the single-arm swing with your left arm. Repeat until you've completed 100 total reps of the single-arm kettlebell swing.
Durkin completed this brutal, fat-burning challenge in 4 minutes and 52 seconds. Can you beat his time? Try it and let us know in the comments below.

Risk Factors
When you get a diagnosis of cancer, it's natural to wonder what may have caused the disease. Doctors can't always explain why one person gets oral cancer and another doesn't.
However, we do know that people with certain risk factors may be more likely than others to develop oral cancer. A risk factor is something that may increase the chance of getting a disease. For example, using tobacco and drinking alcohol are risk factors for oral cancer. Three out of four people with oral cancer have used tobacco, alcohol, or both.
Studies have found the following risk factors for oral cancer:
- Tobacco: Tobacco use causes most oral cancers. Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, or using smokeless tobacco (such as snuff and chewing tobacco) causes oral cancer. The use of other tobacco products (such as bidis and kreteks) may also increase the risk of oral cancer. For cigarette smokers, the risk of oral cancer increases with the number of cigarettes smoked per day. The risk is greater for people who use both tobacco and alcohol than for those who use only tobacco or only alcohol.
Quitting is important for anyone who uses tobacco. Quitting at any time is beneficial to your health. For people who already have cancer, quitting may reduce the chance of getting another cancer, lung disease, or heart disease caused by tobacco. Quitting can also help cancer treatments work better.
There are many ways to get help:
- Ask your doctor about medicine or nicotine replacement therapy. Your doctor can suggest a number of treatments that help people quit.
- Ask your doctor or dentist to help you find local programs or trained professionals who help people stop using tobacco.
- Call staff at the NCI Smoking Quitline at 1-877-44U-QUIT (1-877-448-7848) or instant message them through LiveHelp. They can tell you about:
- Ways to quit smoking
- Groups that help smokers who want to quit
- NCI publications about quitting smoking
- How to take part in a study of methods to help smokers quit
- Go online to Smokefree.gov (http://www.smokefree.gov), a Federal Government Web site. It offers a guide to quitting smoking and a list of other resources.
- Heavy alcohol use: People who are heavy drinkers are more likely to develop oral cancer than people who don't drink alcohol. The risk increases with the amount of alcohol that a person drinks. The risk increases even more if the person both drinks alcohol and uses tobacco.
- HPV infection: Some members of the HPV family of viruses can infect the mouth and throat. These viruses are passed from person to person through sexual contact. Cancer at the base of the tongue, at the back of the throat, in the tonsils, or in the soft palate is linked with HPV infection. The NCI fact sheet HPV and Cancer has more information.
- Sun: Cancer of the lip can be caused by exposure to the sun. Using a lotion or lip balm that has a sunscreen can reduce the risk. Wearing a hat with a brim can also block the sun's harmful rays. The risk of cancer of the lip increases if the person also smokes.
- A personal history of oral cancer: People who have had oral cancer are at increased risk of developing another oral cancer. Smoking increases this risk.
- Diet: Some studies suggest that not eating enough fruits and vegetables may increase the chance of getting oral cancer.
- Betel nut use: Betel nut use is most common in Asia, where millions chew the product. It's a type of palm seed wrapped with a betel leaf and sometimes mixed with spices, sweeteners, and tobacco. Chewing betel nut causes oral cancer. The risk increases even more if the person also drinks alcohol and uses tobacco.
The more risk factors that a person has, the greater the chance that oral cancer will develop. However, most people with known risk factors for oral cancer don't develop the disease.

The Styles Bridges Highway flows through some of the most beautiful country in New England, along peaceful river beds, verdant notches, and dazzling mountain vistas. Tourists probably don't realize that the road is named for a legendary New Hampshire politician, Senator Styles Bridges, who served from 1937 until his death in 1961. A major power broker in his day, Bridges helped to define the state's rock-ribbed conservatism. At one time, his sleek profile was as familiar to Granite State voters as the Old Man of the Mountain, past which runs the Styles Bridges Highway.
But the Nov. 12 issue of The New Yorker contained an uncomfortable wake-up call: Alex Ross, the magazine's classical-music critic, wrote an essay on changing attitudes toward homosexuality that included this passage: "In an episode loosely dramatized in the novel and movie 'Advise and Consent,' Senator Lester Hunt, of Wyoming, killed himself after Styles Bridges, a senator from New Hampshire, threatened to expose Hunt's son as a homosexual. Bridges still has a highway named after him."

Jeancy - the quest mob is phased. Even if you go to Feralas where he'd be, you won't be able to see him.
Got my camel without even meaning to. Was killing the sheep in Uldum for Critter Killer when my NPC scan pinged (still haven't gotten a single BC rare). Flew around looking for that dang camel statue forever (they are TEENY TINY). Found it, clicked on it, and freaked out when I the cyclone came. Luckily, the Camel Hoarder is super easy to kill. And I'm not even a mount collector.
Then, a few days later, found a second statue in the same spot. Called a guildie in, thinking all camel statues transported you out. Nope - his turned to dust.

Actually the idea of a 'base 10' number system is somewhat modern. I forget when it came into practice, but I know there were ancient cultures that used different numbering systems.
Actually the idea of a Base system is what really drove the science of mathematics forward. Other number systems were more of tally notes, based on addition. A Base N system centers around multiplication followed by addition, which allows the mathematical system to easily handle big numbers.
Think about it, in an ancient time how often does your average person need to count to more than 100 or so? Up until about the 1800s or so, few people really needed to deal with numbers, and for a big chunk of the world a lot of people were barely taught basic math skills till after 1900, and even then it isn't till something like the 1950s or so that the majority of people are expected to know.
But when you think of how we actually write numbers, and the theory of Zero, a base 11 or base 6 system actually makes more sense. Write it out while you count on your fingers. Show yourself Zero. Now start counting digits till you get back to zero again. Surprise,... Our hands aren't base 10, they're base 11.
If you are counting things out and writing them down, it actually makes more sense to learn in base 6, you hold your writing tool in one hand, and count with your free hand.
That humans use a base 10 system most likely does stem from our having digits on our hands, but this is most likely because it is a translation from a tally number system, not a pure mathematical 'base' system.
We would have learned to count before we made a numbering system, that is we learned one, two, three, four, five, etc, and THEN we learned to write 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

Two recent deaths in Fenton linked to flu-related symptoms have area residents a little more on edge about the illness.
after being hospitalized with flu-like symptoms. Last week, Fenton resident and father of five Kirk Beauchamp, 44, died three days after becoming ill with flu symptoms.
Twenty-nine states, including Michigan, are now reporting high Influeza-like illness activity, according to the Center for Disease Control.
Flu season has hit hard and early this year. As of last week, 285 confirmed cases had been reported statewide, including three pediatric deaths, according to the Detroit Free Press.
"We had some early (outbreak) years in '03 and '07, but this is the earliest I can remember," Bob Swanson, director of the division of immunization at the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) told the Detroit Free Press.
Health officials have encouraged people to receive a flu shot, but some Fenton residents don't agree. Many Fenton Patch readers recently posted their opinions on the Fenton Patch Facebook Page.
Diana Clark Davis posted, "Won't get a flu shot, too much bad stuff in them. But we are super careful about where we go and about washing our hands - a lot!"
"My daughter had it all last week. She had it confirmed by the doctor it was the flu through a test. Very scary!" said Tiffany Grove. "She was the only one in our house who didn't get the flu shot. The rest of us who did didn't get sick."
"I have received the flu vaccine for years, except one, which was the year I had the flu bad," posted Melissa Sementelli.

|Things to do - Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows
Only at Navy Pier!
The Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows is a permanent display of 150 stained glass windows housed in an 800-ft.-long series of galleries along the lower level terraces of Festival Hall. Open since February 2000, it is the first museum in the United States dedicated solely to stained glass windows. It showcases both secular and religious windows and is divided by artistic theme into four categories: Victorian, Prairie, Modern and Contemporary. All of the windows were designed by prominent local, national and European studios and most were originally installed in Chicago area residential, commercial and religious buildings.
The windows provide unique insight into Chicago's cultural, ethnic and artistic history. The time period they represent, 1870 to the present, was an era of intense urban revision that featured the development, decline and revitalization of neighborhoods, the development of commercial and cultural institutions, the evolution of artistic styles and the response of various ethnic groups to these changes. The religious windows reveal the national and ethnic styles of Chicago's European immigrants, while the residential windows display the history of architecture and decorative art styles.
Well-known artists' windows on display include Louis Comfort Tiffany and John LaFarge, as well as Chicago artists Ed Paschke and Roger Brown. The museum also presents unique contemporary pieces including stained glass portraits of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Michael Jordan and a window created from soda pop bottles.
The Richard H. Driehaus Gallery of Stained Glass is also featured within the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows. This extraordinary collection features 13 windows that highlight the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany and his workshop from 1890-1930.
All 13 windows come from Tiffany's studio in New York City, and he specifically designed most of the stained glass. Tiffany first began experimenting with glass art in 1873. He opened the Tiffany Glass Company in 1885; it then became the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company and later Tiffany Studios. After designing hundreds of beautiful windows for churches, public buildings and homes of his wealthy clients, Tiffany became one of the most well-known glass designers in the United States, and his reputation for experimentation in stained glass techniques and originality in design is unsurpassed.
The Tiffany windows in the Driehaus Gallery, some of which are pairs or triptychs, are showcased in an enclosed, dark area and lit with artificial light. This theatrical atmosphere gives visitors the opportunity to view the windows in the most vivid setting possible. Each window in this exhibition incorporates several types of glass crafted from various techniques, including drapery, opalescent, etched and enameled glass. The glass plates are held in place by copper foil and lead, which support the windows and make them durable and weather resistant. The relationship between the different colors, the densities of layers and the techniques applied combine to create extraordinary luminescence and vibrancy of color and detail. Among the windows featured in the gallery are:
Rapelye Memorial - St. John's Episcopal Church, New Jersey. Religious windows, especially memorial windows, were the cornerstones of Louis Comfort Tiffany's stained glass business. Although clients often requested figural windows, Tiffany preferred floral and landscape themes for memorial windows. He felt these themes drew their inspiration directly from the Creator. Poppies represent the Resurrection and passionflowers symbolize the Crucifixion of Christ.
Girl with Cherry Blossoms - probably commissioned for a private home. Private clients occasionally requested portraits of their loved ones. In this window, the figure is not identified but is likely the portrait of a client's daughter. Tiffany avoided use of enamels in his windows, with the exception of painted faces, hands and feet.
The Annunciation - probably commissioned for a church. As an artist, Tiffany's use of perspective and selection of glass added to the theatrical quality of the window. In this diptych of the Annunciation, note the use of milky white glass that covers much of the composition. When the window is backlit, the image is softened, giving a sense of depth to the architecture and drama to the scene. When the light is turned off, the viewer only sees the milky white layer.
The Richard H. Driehaus Gallery of Stained Glass is representative of Driehaus' collection of both religious and secular windows, which he has accumulated over the past 25 years. This is the first public exhibition focused on his private collection.

An inspiration source for brides-to-be and wedding lovers alike.
Recommend Great Wedding Finds :)
Click an image or provided link to find the source.
I do not take any credit for the photos and information posted, unless otherwise noted, and will make every effort to credit the deserving author.
This photographer's website and blog is really awesome
Watch this video: This is why you should really research your wedding vendors before booking them based on price ladies! Google is your best friend :)
So here's the backstory: This bride and groom originally got married in June 2010. Hired and paid their photographer, the photographer shows up for the job, photographer skips town leaving the bride and groom (along with at least 40 other couples) without any professional shots of their ceremony and reception. Sounds like a complete nightmare, right? Luckily they also hired 7 other amazing vendors who gathered together, along with a new photographer, to re-create their entire wedding day at the original venue. This is why my job is amazing! I'll post pics of the wedding re-do :)

Are you the one suffering from bad body odor? Are you also worried about the fact that no matter what you do, it's still is difficult to get rid of that pungent smell? If your answer is yes, then we are here to answer all your queries.
Every individual has his unique odor. This scent, whether aromatic or repugnant largely depends on the food you eat and the overall health of your intestines. A person with a problem with his body odor will vouch for the fact that no amount of bathing, splashing of cologne or perfume, and using deodorant will mask the lingering smell. Although personal hygiene is very important, cleansing your system from within is the best way to beat this issue. Below are some home-done tips that will help you get rid of this problem for good:

Draw me a watch…
The designer has a key role in the watch-making industry. Here's a closer look a profession at the crossroads of art and science.
Creating a fine watch requires intense cooperation from every professional in the branch. The designer is essential in this process -- tracking new trends, sketching ideas, constructing the models, and supplying the blueprints necessary for a prototype. Unlike the artist, who is free to express his personal vision in his work, the designer must adhere to a set of specifications and reconcile esthetics with commercial goals and technical limitations.
"It's all about teamwork," says Octavio Garcia, artistic director for Audemars Piguet. "We work with the marketing experts as well as with the research staff. We keep our eye on the market, but we must also propose creative and novel approaches." A complex juggling act, to say the least. Working on a tiny surface and faithful to the watch-brand's DNA, the designer is constantly re-inventing him or herself in the context of a tradition that can go back for centuries. Inspiration comes from the world of watch-making, but also from other sources. "We've recently focused on car racing and on the chronographs of the 1930s and 1940s," Garcia explains. "But art, fashion, and cinema can also contribute new ideas."
It's not enough to swim with the times. The designer has to anticipate future trends. Models are conceived two years before they go on the market, sometimes more if the project is experimental. "In addition to creativity and the ability to innovate, empathy is essential. There's no room in this job for an ego. The designer must adopt the brand's values while being aware of the demands of the market. There's a real symbiosis between these two requirements, but that's what makes the work so fascinating," concludes Garcia.

Republican Senator Thad Cochran has served three terms in the United States House of Representatives and 35 years in the Senate.
In past elections it would be unthinkable that Cochran would be challenged by anyone within his own party. All that may be changing with recent polls showing that 85% of Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing and almost 50% say that everyone in Congress should be replaced.
State Senator Chris McDaniel announced he is running for the Senate against Cochran. McDaniel is a TEA Party favorite and has received endorsements from other conservative groups.
This could be a very interesting Senatorial race if Cochran decides to run and if he retires it most certainly will be a hotly contested election. Stay tuned!

Steve Gromek
Jan. 15, 1920
Mar. 12, 2002
Major League Baseball Player. He played Major League baseball as a pitcher for seventeen seasons with the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers. A right-hander, he relied on a fastball, change, and knuckle-curve to win 123 games. Used mostly as a reliever in 1948, going 9-3 with a 2.84 ERA, he started the pivotal fourth game of the 1948 World Series against the Boston Braves and threw a 2-1 complete-game victory. The Indians went on to win their 2nd Worlds Series Championship. A picture him hugging teammate Larry Doby, the American League's first black ballplayer, who had homered in that game, was, according to "The Cleveland Indians Encyclopedia" a landmark in the annals of baseball's battle to integrate successfully. Doby said he would "always cherish that photograph and the memory of Gromek hugging me and me hugging him, because it proved that emotions can be put into a form not based on skin color." Steve Gromek started his baseball career as a shortstop, but an injury to his left shoulder led to his switch to the mound. He joined the Indians in 1941 after going 14-2 in the Michigan State League. His career high in wins came in 1945, when he was 19-9. A native of Hamtramck, Michigan, he went 45-41 over five seasons with the hometown Tigers, including 18-16 in 1954. He retired in 1957. In a career that spanned 17 seasons and 447 games, he accrued a 123-108 won-loss record with 23 saves, 904 strikeouts, a 3.41 ERA with 2064.2 innings pitched.
