- Always great!!OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 9/27/2014Dalyas is always dependable for everything…delicious food and warm welcome. They've added a Tapas menu, though we had lamb and a tenderloin…both were perfect!! The waitstaff are always so nice…we LOVE Dalyas!! Not for young ones, but just like dining in your living room, but you don't have to cook!!Special Features:
- always glad we dined hereOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/27/2014We meet some old friends here several times per year. We are always very pleased with our meals. The menu choices are always excellent and the food never disappoints our expectations. What a great dining experience. We are very happy to have discovered Dalya's!! The location is perfect; the ambiance is conducive to having conversations, the service is outstanding, the wait staff are extremely friendly and fun. Anyone can come here to enjoy a fine meal anytime.Special Features:
- HlmjbmDined on 9/20/2014I had the seafood risotto and the seafood was overcooked, and the dish lacked any flavor. My husband ordered the swordfish special which was advertised as grilled but did not appear to have been grilled at all. It was a disappointment to hear that the restaurant no longer offers any bread with the dinners but it is available for an additional cost.
- Bedford Gem!DownthesquareDined on 9/19/2014Second time to Dalya's Restaurant and visit was just as sensational as the first time. Wonderful appetizers, enough variety and main dish entrees to please most. Duck was superb and desserts were lovely. One of those restaurants you could drive by forever and simply not know it was there. Make a point to try it out as the food is a step above on all accounts.Special Features:
- consistently good.crystalVIPDined on 9/13/2014Dayla's has always been consistently good. We have been going here periodically over many years. Had not been for a couple of years. Still good. NOthing makes the food really outstanding, but just consistently good. Service was very good,attentive; let us sit and talk and relax. Lovely evening with old friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Nice!GrampsbeerDined on 9/12/2014Having dined at Dalya's a couple of times in the past we were very much ambivalent about dining there again. We needed a spot for 5 people on short notice and they had availability so we decided to give it another. The decor has been refreshed and we received good service from the start. The food was very good and there is a pre fixe option that is a very nice value. Three of our party opted for the pre fixe and the bill was quite reasonable. We will go there again.Special Features:
- exprezDined on 9/6/2014This expensive restaurant is worth it for a special occasion. Very pleasant service, interesting menu. I had two English friends as guests and they enjoyed it, I had two starters which together certainly made a full meal. The salad was overdressed but otherwise interesting. My friends had entrees, both good, and they loved the "coupe Lydea' (sp?).Special Features:
- grayingdinergrayingdinerDined on 9/6/2014Dalya's as long been a favorite of our although it is a bit pricey. They were having a problem with their air conditioner that night and the host came to apologize and offered to move us to another area where it wasn't as warm. Our server, on the other hand, was brusque which was a first for us in this restaurant. Maybe she was feeling the heat also. We will definitely go back again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Actually 4 stars plusOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/5/2014Our evening at Dalya's was more than "very good", but we reserve 5 stars for that rare totally memorable dining experience. That being said, our meal was excellent, the service friendly but professional, and the ambiance relaxing. Will return to Dalya's and would not hesitate to recommend the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SteveQDined on 9/2/2014Food and service was outstanding, my wife had the Salmon and I had a mixed seafood dish. Very well prepared, and service was right on.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great nightLastoneDined on 8/29/2014Went for restaurant week and had a wonderful time. The food was very good and the service was great. The deserts were the best and will go back againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dealOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/23/2014Fantastic food, great service and very special desserts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dalya delivers as alwaysAcadiafanDined on 8/21/2014Once again, another great dinner at Dalya's - phenomenal food, mostly great service, and some good revisions to the menu. The only negative thing to note is that they now charge for bread, now focaccia and flat bread in lieu of the terrific sourdough bread they used to serve for free. A place of this caliber should not charge for bread, butter, and hummus. There must be a better way!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DinnerJohnDined on 8/20/2014We had a great dinner at Dalya's. The food was outstanding and the service was very good. The restaurant was full, and you could tell that the staff were very busy, but they made every effort to make sure that we were served promptly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Lunch!Beebee2Dined on 8/20/2014What a wonderful luncheon we had. 9 of us from our neighborhood had all the choices available to us. Great variety. The wine list really allowed for everyone's individual preference. Our server was very helpful and pleasant. We all chose to dine from the PF menue. All were very happy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- wonderful menuOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/19/2014Chose Dayla's for lunch during "dine out week".One of the best selections yet...great decor, wide menu selection (mussels were delicious!) Generous martinis and attentive service. Would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A very delicious lunch.BigRedGoldenBearVIPDined on 8/19/2014Came here with a friend to check out the DineBoston 2014 offerings. She had never been to Dalya's, while it's been a while for me. I had Caesar salad, the friend had soup. Yum. I had crab cakes and the friend had the chicken breast for entrees. We both agreed that the meals were excellent. We were full, but we had desserts, since it was part of the prix-fixe menu. My friend said the bread pudding was different, in a good way, that is and she ate it all, and I had a pumpkin bread type of dessert with ice cream which was stellar. Now that Dalya's is back on my radar, I'll have to come back more often. Our server Kathleen was outstanding, too. My friend left with a very good impression of Dalya's.Special Features:
- DisappointedmangiaDined on 8/18/2014The reason I came to this restaurant was them laving arancini on the online menu, however, in reality they did not have them. I chose fideuà instead, which is missspelt on the menu. It was closer to spagetti alle vongole with a couple of shrimps and fish pieces. Decent as such but far from the real thing. The wine they offer as special by the glass selection was beneath every possible criticism.
- Good choiceAnagoDined on 8/18/2014Excellent choice for business meetings or group meals. The food is good, quit place, attentive wait staff. Desserts are great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointedkayteeDined on 8/14/2014Dalya's is a great spot in an area with limited restaurant offerings. The ambiance is attractive and relaxing. I've eaten here many times and I've never been disappointed. It's my go-to spot.Special Features:
- Amazing MenuLambchopDined on 8/8/2014Four of us went out for dinner. I got the Moroccan Lamb Loin, and it was superb. My friends were all impressed with their meals, as well. I ordered a Lemon drop, and it was also very well done! This is a great place to go for a celebration, or just a special dinner.Special Features:
- One of our standbysTerrothDined on 8/8/2014A place that we go a couple of times a year, either as a couple or with friends or family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice find in BedfordStevenDined on 8/6/2014I recently had my second meal at Dalya's. I was equally impressed both times. The selection, though not huge, is diverse. Everything we had was artfully presented and well prepared. The Prix Fixe menu is an excellent value, and we were absolutely overwhelmed by both the quantity and quality of the dishes. I would never think to stop there based on driving by; from street it looks almost like a little cottage next to a big ice cream stand. But once you get inside it is a 4 to 5 star experience.Special Features:
- Business DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/5/2014We went to Dalya's Restaurant for a business dinner. Everyone enjoyed their food. There were no complaints. The server was a very attentive and the food was delivered quickly. As a vegetarian, there were options and they were very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerCasootieDined on 8/4/2014I must say the Prix Fixe is a real bargain with a lot more choice than one would expect in terms of main course, and dessert and appetizers. The service was good and I liked how we were given time between courses so that we could enjoy each one without someone putting another dish in front of us while we just finished another.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DelightedDownthesquareDined on 8/2/2014Chose this restaurant based on prior reviews and it was local. Glad I did. Everything from appetizer through dessert was outstanding. Good choice to celebrate in the suburbs.Special Features:
- no stress date nightpineywoodsphilosopherDined on 8/1/2014We go to Dalya's for reliably good local food & drink in a pleasant atmosphere. It's a fine place to take visiting (adult) relatives or to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. We've never had a disappointing experience thereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good as evertablecruiserDined on 7/30/2014I've been coming to Dalya's for decades, both for lunch and dinner and I've never been disappointed. The food and service are consistently good, with a quiet and soothing ambience that is good for relaxation and conversation. It is especially cosy in the winter, with a welcoming fireplace. I always look forward to eating here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible Lamb!DNS1Dined on 7/23/2014As a lamb fanatic, I'm extremely judgrmental about quality, preparation, and presentation. Without a doubt, their Morocan lamb loin was the finest lamb I've river had the pleasure of consuming in my 75 years. Awe inspiring hardly does it justice.Special Features:

The first one we were invited so we did not realize how expensive it is.we took the fix price option but adding drinks, dessert and tip it went over 60 dollars per person.

text: contentLE Magazine Special Edition, Winter 2004/2005 REPORTS Are You Absorbing Enough CoQ10? Many people today supplement with CoQ10 for antioxidant and health-promoting properties, but only a portion of CoQ10 is absorbed into the bloodstream. Life Extension introduces a new emulsified form of CoQ10 that provides significantly more bioavailability than previous versions. Sesame Lignans Dramatically Increase Vitamin E Activity Sesame seeds and its oil have long been considered a health food in Japan and China. Recent studies on this historic nutrient determine how sesame lignans boosts levels of the antioxidant vitamin E in the body. The Virtues of Whole Soy Supplements A myriad of published studies have shown the benefits of soy isoflavones. But, other constituents of soy also provide significant cell protective effects. Why Green Tea Has Become Such a Critical Supplement Green tea is second only to water as the most consumed beverage in the world. Life Extension reveals just what makes Green Tea such an important nutrient. Why So Many People Suffer From Aching Joints Aging too often results in the breakdown of healthy joint function and structure. Increasing evidence points to destructive inflammatory factors as culprits behind the joint problem humans face as they get older. A Better Form of Lipoic Acid Lipoic acid has become one of the most popular dietary supplements in the United States. Most lipoic acid supplements consist of two forms of lipoic acid, but only one of them is responsible for for its antioxidant effects. Are you getting the right form? New Brain Regeneration Nutrient Grows Neurites Brain cells communicate with each other because they are connected by neurites. Acetyl-l-carnitine-arginate is a patented form of acetyl-L-carnitine that stimulates the growth of new neurites in the brain. How Sesame Lignans Enhance the Effects of GLA Life Extension reports new information indicating that sesame lignans could enable gamma linolenic acid to work much better in the body. The Coming Age of Vege-Medicine Researchers at the University of Maryland discovered that the vege-compound Indole-3-Carbinol suppresses a protein that speeds up the growth of cancer cells. Life Extension reveals how broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may hold significant health benefits. Do You Trust Your Nutrient Supplier? A growing concern amongst physicians and consumers is whether dietary supplements contain all of the active ingredients listed on the label. Well-publicized analyses of commercial supplements show considerable variation in ingredient quality and quantity. Defective SAMe Enters US Market In 2004, some consumers reported that they tried commercial SAMe products, but did not obtain the desired benefits. Further investigations uncovered defective SAMe raw material was imported to the US market. Make sure you buy your SAMe from a trusted source. Life Extension Funds Research to Combat Aging and Death The healthy human life span will be extended radically in the 21st century. The Life Extension Foundation is doing everything in its power to enable this revolutionary breakthrough to occur sooner rather than later. Magazine 2004 Archives

FINAL SALE Sleeveless Satin Gown with Ruched Overlay Style 85060 7 7
this is a very beautiful dress on. i got it in black. July 15, 2012
Gown used for Brides Dress! I had tried on many traditional wedding dresses and I knew I wanted to be comfortable on my big day! So I decided why not try and find a simple less layered dress to wear for the occasion. This dress truly complimented my body shape and I have purchased it in champagne color and wearing a diamond brooche on the side to give it a little more elegant flare. I would recommend this dress! May 22, 2012
LOVE IT & I looked GOOD!!! This was the 1st dress I tried on, to be a maid of honor in my friend's wedding & when I walked out in it, my mouth fell open. I could not believe how flattering, sexy, yet classy it was. I am a plus-size woman (18) with a large chest & it let me be voluptuous, yet classy, which I love. I also have broad shoulders & the larger straps helped minimize them. I'm 5'5" & with a 1.5 to 2in heel, it falls just right..I won't have to have it shortened. I ordered it in clover & can't wait to wear it!!! May 7, 2012
Gorgeous! I tried on this gown on a lark - not expecting to fall madly in love with the gown. It is gorgeous & covers all kinds of flaws. I love that, as a woman with a larger chest, I can wear a regular bra. The ruching is such an elegant touch and I am so excited for my December wedding in the Caymans!! April 2, 2012

It is a nice place and the owners are really opened to talk and helpful. Very near San Giovani and Terme di Caracalla, and a beautiful walk from the Colloseum. It takes about 20 minutes on foot from the Colloseum, but if you are not the walking type you could take a 5 minute metro or a bus that stops right in front of the place. Nice area, with restaurant on the corner (pizza to take is 5 euros, so why not try all types :) and lovely coffee shops with great croissants.

Panang curry is a popular dish at most Thai restaurants, sometimes mistaken for red curry, but with a much deeper flavor and spicy kick at the end.
Usually this dish is made with beef, but chicken, pork or in this case fish, all work well.
Thai curry dishes are usually a meal in themselves, but it is not uncommon to eat curry alongside other Thai dishes, such as pad Thai or papaya salad.
Thai fish panang curry with fresh vegetables and toasted coconut
Serves 4
1 pound grouper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly on an angle
2 stalks of celery, sliced thinly on an angle
1 large yellow onion, julienned
6 ounces bamboo shoots
1/2 a cup of basil, chopped
3 cans of coconut milk, (chaokoh) 13.5 fl. cans
3 ounces of panang curry paste (maesri )
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 tablespoons of fresh coconut
Salt to taste
First, wash the grouper really well, then cut it into bite-size cubes and pat dry with a paper towel. Get a large sauté pan hot and add oil. When the oil is hot, place the fish cubes in the pan and cook until they are almost done, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan and set to the side.
Next we will add the vegetables to the sauté pan and use the canola oil and the natural oils that came out of the fish to cook the carrots, celery, bamboo shoots and onion, over medium heat. Cook the vegetables for 8 minutes, then add the sugar and cook for 1 minute more. Add the coconut milk and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat.
Whisk in the panang curry until it is evenly distributed, replace the grouper and cook 5 minutes more. Season with salt.
Finish with the freshly chopped basil and toasted coconut and you are done.
Tips and Techniques.
. If you don't like spicy food cut the amount of panang curry paste in half.
. A non-stick pan would work well with this dish.
. Have fun with it and serve mai tais for the beverage.

We are advised to travel light when we undertake a journey.Why can't we travel light in our lives too to make it beautiful and enjoyable?
If we travel light the journey is enjoyable. In the journey of life i want to travel with no burden on my body or mind. Burden on body is due to sickness and obesity. Burden on mind is due to possesions and relationships.
"With no burden on body and mind
I want to travel and unwind"

Feb 16 2013: I see what you mean and for possessions I trained myself some while ago to the point, that what I have, is enough. Relationships are different to me, because those I don't mind to loose are of no value to me anyway. I would not wish to have no value in anyone and even though it is very painful, I would not like to miss any of the gaps of close people I once loved yet lost. It taught me humbleness. But that's just my view, and interesting to see your difference.

Speaking at a press event this week, Michael Levy, investment manager of the frontier markets fund at Baring Asset Management, said frontier markets were often "under-covered", which means there are fewer investors and analysts tracking and pursuing investments in the same companies.
Levy said: "This is an active manager's dream."
So just how different is the coverage of stocks in frontier markets from those in emerging or developed markets?
Research from Citi Investment Research & Strategy shows that the average number of analysts covering companies in MSCI indices is just 3.5 in frontier markets, compared to 13.6 in emerging and 18.5 in developed markets.
In China, for example, the average number of analysts per stock is more than 20, compared to fewer than 10 analysts per stock in Nigeria, Kenya and Vietnam. For a further breakdown of the average number of analysts per stock in frontier market countries, see attached chart.
Given liquidity constraints in less developed markets, Levy added that it was "not a space where ETFs and passive funds can operate effectively", giving active fund managers a further advantage.
Frontier markets have not suffered the same heavy year-to-date outflows as emerging market funds. Frontier market equity funds available to European investors have attracted net inflows of €1.12 billion this year to the end of July, according to Morningstar, although inflows did slow down slightly in June and July.
The definition of frontier markets varies manager-by-manager. Barings launched its first dedicated frontier markets fund in April and invests in markets that fall outside emerging and developed market benchmarks.
Its heaviest geographical weighting is currently to the Middle East and North Africa region, which represents almost half of its allocations. Levy said he expected Asia, which represented 9% of the portfolio at the end of July, to gradually represent a bigger portion of the fund's portfolio.

Emerald Labs Weight Loss Health Raw Whole-Food Based Formula - 60 Vegetable Capsules
Emerald Labs' Weight Loss Health Raw Whole-Food Based Formula is a powerful combination of clinically proven Irvingia Gabonensis (African Mango) (IGOB131) and Green Select Phytosome (Green Tea Extract) shown to promote effective weight loss and improve metabolic wellness. Emerald Labs' Weight Loss Health Raw Whole-Food Based Formula is clinically formulated for enhanced absorption and bioavailability.
Emerald Laboratories 7 Points of Quality:
Why Emerald Laboratories' Raw Whole-Food Based Formulas are Important
Enzymes, Prebiotics, and Probiotics are some of the primary keys involved in slowing the aging process and maintaining proper absorption. Raw whole foods are rich in essential enzymes which help to maintain excellent health. Digestive and metabolic enzymes as well as healthy "gut" bacteria (probiotics) tend to "drop-off" as we age. The Raw Whole Food Blend which is in every Emerald Laboratories Condition-Specific Formula provides a synergistic blend of sprout powders (one of the richest sources of metabolic enzymes), broad-spectrum plant-based digestive enzymes as well as a rich blend of probiotics, raw whole foods and prebiotics (essential food for probiotics).
The Emerald Labs Raw Whole-Food Based Blend with Prebiotics, Enzymes & Probiotics Contains...
Raw Whole Food Sprout Powders (Alfalfa, Quinoa, Mung Bean, Millet & Broccoli - containing 3500ppm sulfurophane), Raw Plant Enzyme Blend (Lipase, Lactase, Invertase, Protease, Hemicellulase, Cellulase, Alpha-Galactosidase, Amylase, Bromelain, Papain, Acid-Stable Protease, Maltase), Raw Probiotic Blend (Acidophilus - 200 million CFU's, B. Bifidum - 200 million CFU's), Whole Food Pomegranate Juice Powder, Raw Whole Food Freeze-Dried Acai Powder, Whole Food Goji Fruit Extract, Whole Food Mangosteen Hull Powder, Whole Food Noni Fruit Powder, Fructo-Oligosaccharides, Whole Food Chlorella Powder, Whole Food Spirulina Powder, Resveratrol (Standardized from Polygonum Cuspidatum.
Why Dr. Stengler's "Clinically Tested" Formulas are Important
Emerald Laboratories Condition-Specific Formulas have all been designed by Dr. Mark Stengler using therapeutic dosages based on clinical research and actual patient results.
Who is Dr. Mark Stengler?
Known as America's Natural Doctor to his patients, readers and audiences across North America, Mark Stengler is a licensed naturopathic medical doctor. He is also a well-known author and lecturer with expertise in nutrition, herbal therapy, vitamin therapy, homeopathy, natural hormone replacement and integrated medicine. His passion is to combine the best of conventional and natural medicine to achieve optimized health for his patients at his clinic in Encinitas, CA. Dr. Stengler has personally formulated each of the new Emerald Laboratories Condition-Specific products according to the high standards of his health practice.
Why Emerald Laboratories' Additive-Free Formulas are Important
Additives generally have little or no nutritive value. The objective of taking a dietary supplement is for the herbs or nutrients to break down and be utilized by our bodies. Additives do not generally facilitate this process. In fact, some individuals feel that additives can actually hinder this process. The best nutritional supplements promote the quick uptake by the body of the nutrients they possess. They do this by being in a form that the body can easily assimilate so it can access the herb or nutrient and expose it to processes that will ultimately lead to the nutrient taking part in cellular metabolism.
Why Emerald Laboratories' Gluten-Free Formulas are Important
Gluten sensitivities are becoming more and more common among people. Emerald Laboratories has made these formulas completely gluten-free so that their supplements will not pose problems for people with this issue.
Why Emerald Laboratories' Purity-Tested Formulas are Important
Each and every one of the raw materials in Emerald Laboratories' Condition-Specific Formulas are tested by their laboratory for identity, strength, composition and purity.
Why Vegetable Capsules are Important
Every Emerald Laboratories Condition-Specific Product is in vegetable capsules so that vegetarians and people that have concerns about animal-based products can be confident in taking Emerald Laboratories' products.
Did you Know?
Integrative doctors generally agree that people 60 years old have approximately 20% of the enzymes they had when they were 20 years old. It is estimated that 30% - 50% of Americans suffer from gluten sensitivities which may possibly contribute to low energy, chronic tiredness and digestive issues.
Other Ingredients: Vegetable Capsule.
Dietary supplement guaranteed to be free of corn, milk, salt, sugar, wheat, yeast, artificial flavors or preservatives.
Allergy Information: Product is manufactured in a facility that processes milk, egg, soy, tree nuts, fish and shellfish.

Looking for a way to not be yet another boring groom in a tuxedo? There are ways for you to show your personality no matter what at type of attire your fiancée has selected for you and your buddies. Here are some of our favorites:
- Interesting shoes or socks. Depending upon where your wedding is, ditch the painful loafers in favor of flip flops or sneakers. And neon argyle is almost always a good thing, right?
- The Anti-Boutonniere. Rather than the usual flower on a pin, use non-traditional elements to create your own look representative of your personality.
- Accessorize, even if just for after the ceremony. Some groomsmen might make their entrance with crazy sunglasses, but take them off by the time the ceremony begins. Especially if the groomsmen all know each other, they might have things that represent good memories and inside jokes. For example, the fake moustaches they used as teenagers to try to buy beer. Those types of accessories are best worn at the reception, when the focus is on having a good time and relaxing.

Get this recipe courtesy of Chef Dave Mancini from Supino's Pizza in Detroit. Learn more about Detroit's Next Urban Chef competition by visiting www.indiegogo.com/nexturbanchef.
1 1/2 pounds ricotta
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Place the ricotta in a fine sieve over a bowl to drain for an hour. In a medium-sized bowl, stir the drained ricotta, 1 cup of the flour, the eggs, salt, pepper and together gently but thoroughly until a soft dough forms, adding a little more of the flour if the dough is sticky when poked. Forming the gnocchi: dip 2 tablespoons in cool water. Using 1 spoon, scoop up a heaping tablespoon of the ricotta mixture and use the other spoon to form it into a smooth, pointed oval. Place the gnocchi on a baking sheet lined with a lightly-floured kitchen towel.
Marinara Sauce:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 Spanish onion, chopped in 1/4 inch dice
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
6 Fresh heirloom tomatoes skinned and chopped
2 sprigs fresh chopped basil
Salt, to taste
In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the basil, tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and serve. This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer. Yield: 4 cups
Fall is here, so it's time to spice up that old mac & cheese with some tastes of the season.

The Danger of Celebrity Endorsements of Brands
Paying celebrities to endorse a brand is dangerous territory. This isn't a new revelation, but brands still shell out massive amounts of money to have the "it" celebrity of the moment appear in ads and say how great the brand is.
The latest celebrity brand endorsement gone wrong story (Lance Armstrong admitting to Oprah Winfrey that he used doping to win all of his Tour de France titles) reminds us once again how risky it is to pay to attach a celebrity name to a brand name.
The list of celebrity endorsements of brands that have gone terribly wrong for the brands is long. Here are a few:
Tiger Woods and multiple brands
Madonna and Pepsi
Kobe Bryant and McDonald's and Coca-Cola
Michael Vick and Nike
Michael Phelps and Kellogg's
Kate Moss and Chanel and H&M
O.J. Simpson and Hertz

Mar 16 2013: honestly, i could not care less if a corporation loses some sales. why would i care about that? i think there are two stupids in this situations. one stupid is of course corporations not caring about the future, and taking too much risk focusing their ad campaigns on stars that tend to end up in jail, detox or morgue after taking one too many dose of some drug. but as i said, for all i care, they can go bankrupt, and i won't even bother reading the article about it.
the second stupid is the customer. if you buy a product because of some celebrity appeared in a tv spot, you are as dumb as it gets. if you are not grown up enough to make decisions for yourself, you are hopeless, and deserve to buy crap. but this is important. we are all affected by this stupid consumer behavior, so it does worth calling attention to it.
Mar 17 2013: hey , KP , sir what i think is that , if such is the case then , brands should take celebs of good social image , and at the same time it makes sense , as in cricket goods should have cricket players as their brand face , it happens when it does not make sense , cricket player endrosing football goods company ..
Mar 17 2013: "should" in the sense that this is your recommendation. not in the sense that this is the absolute right thing to do, and especially not in the sense that it is moral. choosing britney spears as your celeb icon is a risk, and if a company is willing to take that risk, in the worst case, it is an error. error is okay.

It's a thrill that never fades for some drivers: the desire to get behind the wheel of a classic car.
"It's almost like fulfilling a dream," explains John Hoekstra, owner of GR Auto Gallery, located in Kentwood.
On Sunday, Fox 17 got a sneak peek inside its warehouse where dozens of high-end vintage cars cater to that very dream.
"A lot of it goes back to when they were kids, they saw one of these and they always wanted one and now they can actually afford it," said Hoesktra, who is a collector himself.
The gallery is not a museum, but a consignment shop for high-end vintage vehicles. Everything from a fire engine red 1958 Mercedes-Benz 190SL currently listed for $59,900 to a rare 1967 green Mercury S-55 Convertible, once dubbed as "The Man's Car". The burly edition is currently up for $24,900.
In the world of collectors, the cars with documentation to prove they are originals will be priced higher.
Another buzzword that's noteworthy in the warehouse? Restomods.
The term describes a vintage car that has been updated with modern parts.
"They achieve the feel and the noise of the old car, but the safety and modern standards are there," said Hoekstra.
The vehicles inside the warehouse are all for sale. Next weekend, they'll also be on display at the popular 28th Street Metro Cruise in Wyoming, which begins August 24th. A place where vintage car enthusiasts can rev up their engines.

Model Heidi Klum arrives at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards held at Staples Center on January 31, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.
Every celebrity seems to do a fragrance and Heidi Klum is a celebrity who seems to do everything, so news that she'd jump on the celebrity scent bandwagon seems like a given. Indeed, Klum will launch her very own perfume, called "Shine," this September, according to WWD.
The German supermodel, mother of four, TV host, and businesswoman adds the scent to her growing repertoire, while Coty plans to capitalize on the megabrand she's created for herself. Reps for the company pointed to Klum as the whole package -- "she's an entrepreneur; she's a showgirl" -- as well as supermodel and down-to-earth wife and mother all in one.
She's even got experience in the beauty industry, sharing with WWD that for her mandatory internship in Germany (at the tender age of 13!), she worked for the cosmetics company 4711, where her father was the marketing director.
While there are no details yet on the various components of Klum's signature blend, we're betting on a sweet scent for the cheery model.

Commonwealth x Saucony Jazz Low Pro
October 6th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 4 comments
DMV's Commonwealth was among the Mid-Atlantic's sneaker boutique pioneers, so it's a curious fact that we've not seen any collaborations with their name attached for nearly two years now. And though this new release comes from a different brand and sport than their Pump20s, this Commonwealth x Saucony Jazz Low Pro does indeed bear a resemblance to C'MON's Reeboks. That's thanks to the tonal application of navy, grey and olive green atop a red rubber sole, a clean look that the all-grey Pump Bringbacks can be seen to foreshadow. Click through so you can see more of each pair, let us know which is your favorite and stick with Sneaker News for updates on their availability. via SF

Flatts bass player Jay DeMarcus tells ABC News Radio, "That's what I'm excited for them to see is the different aspects of our lives with our family and personally what we went through to get to where we are now with Rascal Flatts."
The DVD also includes live performances shot during Rascal Flatts appearance at the intimate Franklin Theater just south of Nashville. That set list includes tracks from their latest album, Changed , such as "Banjo," "Come Wake Me Up" and the title cut. Rascal Flatts classics like "Bless the Broken Road," "What Hurts the Most" and "Life Is a Highway" round out the DVD along with tons of other bonus content.
Rascal Flatts guitarist Joe Don Rooney explains, "We attached some behind the scenes footage, some inside behind the scenes footage that you wouldn't have seen in the movie and also some of our fans' favorite videos from the past few years are on the DVD as well."
Rascal Flatts has several TV appearances lined up to promote the new DVD. Look for them on E!'s Chelsea Lately Monday night. They also perform on NBC's The Voice Tuesday night.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014Good food and service. Nice atmosphere but be sure to specify if you want to sit in the dining room and not in the bar area since they consider them the same. The bar area feels more casual and may not be what you were hoping for to celebrate a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Notable NavarreOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014Cafe Navarre is fast becoming a favorite special occasion place for my wife and me. Excellent food, preparation & presentation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So grateful to have found this gem!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/20/2014An overall delight-- being regular guests from Chicago, we enjoy the relaxed, yet refined, aspect. New chef is added valueSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014We usually have a very fine experience at Cafe Navarre. Wednesday night was not one of them. The restaurant was extremely loud-I couldn't hear the person across the table from me--and the service was poor.
- Delish!GeistieDined on 9/16/2014The standard menu items and daily specials at Cafe Navarre do not disappoint. Everything is flavorful and interesting to the palette. We had a delicious salmon, a perfectly cooked pork chop, bright salads, and even tried a seasonal apple chowder soup that turned out to be quite a surprise. Cafe Navarre is a great choice for a group dinner or more private evening. Enjoy!Special Features:
- Had a new waiter - very poor.mhardyDined on 9/15/2014Thank God that Cezar jumped in and helped out. We never saw our new young male waiter again after he dropped off our food. Not the service I have come to expect from Cafe Navarre. Luckily, the food was excellent as usual.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous EveningFamilyof5Dined on 9/13/2014We were celebrating our anniversary and everything was great! My husband always has the filet-mignon, which they always cook perfectly. I had the salmon and heirloom tomato salad which was very tasty. The salmon was very fresh. They even surprised us with a candle in the dessert. Also I always finish the meal with the chocolate problem. It's not to be missed. Delicious! Then we went to the bar to finish the night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another South Bend findartstravelerDined on 9/12/2014South Bend is a well-kept secret. Considered a sleepy town, it, in fact, boasts some very nice restaurants. Cafe Navarre s perhaps the most popular, combining a great ambiance that is both elegant and welcoming with excellent food. The menu has some first-class items that are always reliable, like the Wild Mushroom Soup and the Navarre Salad. The fish of the day is always stupendous. It will not disappoint.Special Features:

- a place to enjoy over and overdinintravelworkmanDined on 9/8/2014The ambiance is consistent but uniquely changing with seasons and varies with weather and time of day because of the tremendous grand windows that have big impact on the two story space. What a gemSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CK2014Dined on 9/5/2014Great menu and I'd rate the food among the best I've had. Service was just OK, and though there were plenty of tables in the more attractive open area of the restaurant we were seated in a back room and our request for an alternate table was denied. Ordering was rushed and the waiter returned to our table 3 times to take our order before even serving us the drinks we had ordered. Our main courses arrived before we had finished either our appetizers or our drinks. I'll go back, but I'll be prepared for battle!Special Features:
- Wonderful for LunchKittyDined on 9/3/2014Great place to make a reservation for lunch when you want something special in your work day. Fast service and wonderful food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- 60th Anniversary CelebrationJamieDined on 8/27/2014We had the pleasure of hosting my parents 60th wedding anniversary celebration at Cafe Navarre. It was the perfect dining experience; not too loud, great food, beautiful ambiance, and attentive service. I highly recommend the duck and the heirloom tomato salad! We will be back!!!Special Features:

- Great Lunch Spotbriant9570Dined on 8/26/2014Had the privilege to sneak in a quick lunch date with my wife and chose Cafe Navarre downtown. Could not have chose a better place to eat, relax, and visit. Once again they exceeded our expectations. I recommend CN to all of our friends.Special Features:

- Cafe Navarre is a gemNancyDined on 8/22/2014Four of us enjoyed cafe Navarre. We started at the exchange whiskey bar, also a Navarre establishment, for cocktails, and walked a block for dinner. Waitress was attentive and helpful. Wedge salad, with Boston lettuce, was a great change from iceberg. It was wonderful. Entres were wexceptional. We will return soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NittiDined on 8/22/2014Seated us next to the kitchen which was disappointing. Seafood entre was quite small for the price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good.GreenwoodDined on 8/22/2014A new chef at a Cafe Naverre has made this the place to go. The taste and presentation have made this almost as good as most of Chicago,s finest. If you haven't been there for awhile, give it a try. The pork belly with watermelon app. was perfectly seared and the pastastios added that extra depth of flavor. The duck salad with the fried cheese ball was a hit.Special Features:
- Fine Dining in South BendBigDogVIPDined on 8/19/2014A very good restaurant that focuses on a diverse ala carte continental menu. Located in an old bank, the arched ceilings can cause some noise concerns at peak periods so not recommended for those seeking quiet ambiance. Food is always first rate but the ala carte approach will not be kind to your wallet. Service is generally attentive & adequate. Solid wine & bar menu. In their 3 year history, I have not had any bad meals served to me or my guests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful night at Cafe NavarreAmericanpieDined on 8/16/2014Group of 5 . The bread by the new bread baker is great. The wedge salad and mushroom soup are always wonderful as starters. 3 of 5 had the salmon, and it was delicious. The pork chop was outstanding. And the filet as well. Dessert was decadent. Shouldn't have done that. But oh well, that's why we work out, right? Cesar was our waiter and he is superb. Ambience is so fun. Another great night at Cafe Navarre.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent menuFigaro14Dined on 8/16/2014The real strength of this restaurant is its menu. It is not trying to be simply a steaks and chops restaurant. There is a very strong emphasis on fresh and lively flavors. On this last visit, the menu featured an outstanding short rib served with polenta and patty pan squash. My rack of lamb arrived cooked precisely to order and had a nice char from the grill. I'm really pleased to see the direction this restaurant is going. It is going to be one of South Bend's top restaurants.Special Features:
- DisapointedOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/16/2014I do realize there was a lot going on downtown and it was crowded. But, from the time we entered the door we felt as if we were just another group to deal with. I felt the seating was cramped and food was overpriced. I have been here several times in the past and I am sorry to say it does not have the same ambivalence it had in the beginning.Special Features:
- Great foodMotherDuderDined on 8/16/2014We arrived at six and had our food by 620. It was great. Each of our dinners were cooked perfectly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- South Bend's BestAZFoodieVIPDined on 8/14/2014If there is a better restaurant in South Bend I have not found it. 5 of us ate there recently, with steaks, seafood, and chicken dishes ordered. Every entrée was delicious, with the seafood being the best plates on the table. Service was efficient. The design of the restaurant funnels noise from the bar area into the dining area, so it's not the ideal place for a quiet romantic meal.Special Features:
- Second time not a charmMarieDined on 8/9/2014The first time we ate there it was great. But we were less than wowed this time. The Burrata starter was as if the Burrata capsule had been deflated since very little of the yummy creamy cheese was inside. That disappointment set the tone for a kinda lack luster meal for each my husband and myself. Our friends seemed somewhat pleased.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cafe Navarre deliciousDobusgoestodineDined on 8/8/2014Went here for dinner based on previous reviews. We were in South Bend for a wedding and Cafe Navarre was within walking distance from our hotel so thought we'd give it ago and we're glad we did. The service was wonderful and the food superb. We started off with special martinis. To start our gastronomical experience we chose the Pork Belly to share which was perfectly cooked, so tender our mouths were watering. We then shared a Lettuce Wedge Salad, delicious. Entrees were the Chioppini for myself which was full of seafood cooked to perfection and my wife had the beef short ribs, so tendor and flavorful. Dessert, a cheesecake with Michigan cherries, to die for! Great atmosphere and the entire staff superb. Would go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurantChattiVIPDined on 8/8/2014Always usually a first choice for us. Had a group of 8 and had private room upstairs, which is nice.Special Features:
- Excellent dining experiencedatenitedinersDined on 8/8/2014This was our first visit. We enjoyed every bite. Service was great. Each item on the plate was prepared to perfection. We had the Chilean Sea Bass and the Kurobuta Pork Chop. Very pleasant atmosphere conducive to intimate conversation where we were seated indoors, kind of in an alcove. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A real findMasqueVIPDined on 8/8/2014This a very good restaurant. The food is inventive and the selection of food items is wide and varied. The service is attentive, smart and prompt. The management wants to please its patrons on every level. The restaurant is as good as, or better than, any similar establishment one would find in a bigger city.Special Features:
- Always a good timeStoney1Dined on 8/2/2014I always enjoy my meal at Cafe Navarre and Wang is the man! Give that man a promotion! My wife and I have really enjoyed coming here over the past few years. South Bend was a hard transition coming from new orleans to the palate but Navarre always stood for a good meal in a nice environment. I have moved away and I really appreciate the congratulatory piece of cake the other night, anytime I am in town I will always come back. If we play ND I will do a team meal at Navarre and call in advance. Thanks, Alexander J. StoneSpecial Features:

Coral Springs, FL — Orthopedic rehabilitation patients at Coral Springs Medical Center (CSMC) have something to make their next visit a memorable one. Framed works of colorful sea creatures now adorn the walls of the orthopedic rehabilitation gym of CSMC—all thanks to the talents of art students from Parkside Elementary.
The colorful palettes have created a cheerful and inspirational atmosphere throughout the gym that was otherwise plain. Phylis Mastrianni, art teacher at Parkside Elementary, began the project by painting a beach scene masterpiece that simulates a view from a vehicle's windshield. That idea came to Mastrianni when she saw a mock up vehicle at the gym used to strengthen patients' modalities.
"The artwork added a touch of vitality to a place where many patients struggle to get back on track," said Cathy Parra, CSMC Rehab Manager. "It's a form of inspiring them to look beyond their struggles. We are very grateful to the teacher and her students for taking the time to make something so special just for our orthopedic gym."
Coral Springs Medical Center is a facility of Broward Health. Broward Health, providing service for more than 50 years, is a nationally recognized community health system offering world class health care services to our neighbors in South Florida. One of the 10 largest public health systems in the nation, Broward Health operates more than 30 healthcare facilities, including Broward General Medical Center, North Broward Medical Center, Imperial Point Medical Center, Coral Springs Medical Center, Chris Evert Children's Hospital, Broward Health Weston.

After visiting with a number of doctors, I couldn't find one that I felt comfortable with. Dr Schwartz was my final attempt, and boy am I glad I met him. I felt an immediate connection with him and in the last 4 years of therapy, I have come a long way. He is very professional and I have never had a bad experience with him.

This guy is a perv. All he talks about is sex. I saw him once a week for awhile and he couldn't remember what we discussed the week before. I would be expressing myself and trying to deal with my issues and he would somehow relay it to sex. I told him I was having trouble sleeping and he suggested I "manually stimulate" myself before bed. I told him I really didn't feel like doing that as I just lost a loved one. He said I should force myself to do because it would make me feel better.

Alternative Ways to Easing Arthritis Pain (cont.)
The University of Maryland School of Medicine recently completed a four-year NIH-funded study, the largest ever undertaken, to determine how well acupuncture works. The results, published in December 2004 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that traditional Chinese acupuncture significantly reduces pain and improves function for patients with knee osteoarthritis who have moderate or more severe pain despite taking pain medication.
Larry Altshuler, MD, is a board-certified internist in Oklahoma City who practices both conventional and alternative medicine. He uses acupuncture on his arthritis patients and says he was "pleasantly surprised" when his patients reported they were getting relief from their pain. "Most of my patients have had beneficial results from acupuncture," says Altshuler.
Helpful, Healthy Supplements?
Glucosamine and chondroitin are nutritional supplements that are also being studied for their effectiveness in treating arthritis.
Jason Theodosakis, MD, says that "first-line therapies" for the treatment of arthritis should always be improving biomechanics, injury prevention, weight control, and low-impact exercise. Theodosakis is an assistant clinical professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine; he serves on the oversight committee for a $16 million NIH trial on glucosamine and chondroitin.
"But there is also enough scientific evidence -- 42 human clinical trials to date -- to recommend the use of glucosamine and chondroitin," says Theodosakis, also the author of The Arthritis Cure.
An article published in 2001 in the medical journal Lancet, for example, reported the results of a three-year study that followed 212 arthritis sufferers. The survey participants were divided into two groups, with one group given 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine daily for three years; the other group was given a daily placebo for three years.
The group given the glucosamine showed little or no deterioration in joints, while the group given the placebo showed the joint deterioration expected of arthritis sufferers.
After further follow-up, a recent study published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, found that those in the glucosamine group had 74% fewer knee replacements.
Erin Arnold, MD, recommends not only glucosamine sulfate for her patients (1,500 milligrams a day, taken in two to three doses a day), but also 400-800 international units of vitamin D. Arnold is a rheumatologist at the Illinois Bone and Joint Institute in Chicago.
"Lower levels of vitamin D in the body are associated with higher levels of pain," she says. She also recommends 1,000 milligrams a day of vitamin C, 200 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acid twice a day, and 2 cups of green tea every day for its anti-inflammatory effects.
One nutritional supplement that has been receiving much attention lately is MSM (methyl sulfonyl methane).
MSM, which can be found in fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, fish, and grains, is destroyed when foods are processed; if your diet is made up of a lot of processed foods, you may be low in MSM levels.
Several animal studies have seemed promising, including one published in 1985 in the journal Immunopathology that reported that MSM eased rheumatoid-arthritis-like effects in mice. In a recent small study of 50 men and women conducted by Leslie Axelrod, ND, of the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Ariz., patients who received MSM reported 12% less pain and 14% more knee function than those who were given a placebo.
Choose Wisely
Because the quality of herbs and supplements can vary, even some of these treatments might not work, cautions Tod Cooperman, MD, president of ConsumerLab.com.
ConsumerLab.com reviewed supplement products touted for their pain-relieving benefits. It found that one product, claiming to contain 500 milligrams per serving of "chondroitin sulfate complex" actually contained less than 90 milligrams of chondroitin sulfate -- only 18% of the 500 milligrams.
"Fortunately, most products contain what they claim," says Cooperman. "But consumers should choose their supplements wisely. If a product is not working, it may be the product itself that is flawed, and not the approach."
Useless, Dangerous Remedies?
There are a number of other alternative remedies that arthritis sufferers try.
Many of those -- such as copper bracelets or magnets -- may not have much, if any, scientific evidence to back them up or disprove them. Indeed, Kerry Ludlam, a spokeswoman for the Arthritis Foundation, reports that there is a lack of research both for and against the usefulness of alternative therapies.
"There's a void of information," she says. Since many of the alternative therapies cited for the relief of arthritis are considered harmless (other than perhaps to your pocketbook), many doctors say that if you want to try them, go ahead.
Other therapies, however, can be dangerous.
Bee venom could cause a potentially fatal reaction in those allergic to stinging insects. And even glucosamine, generally safe for most people, could be dangerous for people allergic to shellfish. (Shellfish-free glucosamine is now available.) For these reasons, it's important to check with your doctor first before trying any alternative treatment.
It's also important to note that herbs and supplements may have unknown and potentially dangerous interactions with medication. If you're taking medication, it's best to check with your doctor before trying any supplements.
