Packaged in a simple brown paper box, this chocolate cube may not look groundbreaking, but when it comes to chocolate, it's taste that counts. Richard Kaplan, a former chef at trendy New York and Key West spots, hit the Houston chocolate scene in 2004 with a burst of flavor combos seldom if ever seen before. His recipes range from mixing milk chocolate with Jack Daniel's, caramel, cashews and fleur de sel, to white chocolate with candied Meyer lemon, Myers's dark rum and thyme. And don't forget the delicious dark stuff; Kaplan offers six variations that will make you smile and swoon. Brown Paper Chocolates can be found at several stores around town including Spec's and Whole Foods, as well as online.
Kuenhert's Auction house is not quite a store, but there's not a more exciting way in town to shop for fabulous French antiques, plush Persian rugs or even a palette full of kooky knick-knacks, old toys, or strange hats. Every Thursday night, the hearty souls who are game enough pick up a number, sit down in the audience and wait for the auctioneer to start the bidding. Everything goes and there's no minimum bid, so stunning deals are to be had by all. Designers have been going there for years; now it's your chance to get in on the action. All it takes is a quick hand and a strong heart — once that arty armoire is yours, there's no returning it.
Want to add a distinct look to your bedroom furniture? You could always pick up one of the many tree-killing catalogues from your recycling pile, or head to Adkins in Midtown for antique glass drawer pulls. Try those great Grecian urns to flank your apartment's porch, or Art Deco tiles for a kitchen backsplash. But if you like something, buy it. Part of the charm at this rambling, sprawling old house festooned with old lawn furniture is the fact that once an item is gone, you may never see another like it again.
Viet Hoa is the Fiesta of Asian supermarkets and a pure delight for seekers of groceries and colorful oddities alike. It's big, it's clean and on any given day, you can find silk flowers, flip-flops and thousand-year-old eggs within a few steps of each other. The back wall is covered with tanks full of unusual sea creatures and case after case of fresh fish. If seafood isn't your thing, the array of roasted and barbecued meats could turn a vegetarian carnivorous. On the way out, a dizzying and attractive selection of jellied products is tempting enough to make you want to eat white fungus and mung bean...and like it.
Space City Wheels is what you might call a high-end auto parts store. Not a lot of air filters and brake fluid, but a helluva lot of chrome. Space City Wheels strictly sells rims and tires, and the shop's showroom alone is worth a visit. It looks like a strip club or casino filled with a lot of rims. Anything in the showroom is in stock — from the 22-inch Giovannas to the 30-inch Dubs — at Space City's huge warehouse. Full-service installation is included with purchase, and the store can almost guarantee same-day service. Space City is family owned and operated and has been for 15 years. Be sure to check out the yellow and black ATV decked out with ridiculously large rims. Bonus for the store's motto: "We open Sundays."
A beginning fisherman (or woman) could get lost in this sprawling tackle store in south Houston. But the staff can hook you up with all the equipment and knowledge you need to be on your way. Unlike other big-box outdoor stores, Fishing Tackle Unlimited is straight fishing. There's plenty of gear for any kind of angling — in-shore, offshore or fly. The shop hosts a couple instructional classes and demos throughout the year, but on any day a staffer will take you to the parking lot and teach the technique with a casting or fly reel. Fishing Tackle Unlimited also has a nice variety of kayaks, which it rents for $50 a day. If you get serious about kayaking, the rental fee can be applied to the purchase price. You can also try out a kayak in the store's big outdoor pool.

LONDON (AFP) – The woman who named Britain's Prince Andrew in a US court filing claiming that she was kept as an underage "sex slave" by a Wall Street financier said Saturday she would not be silenced.
The plaintiff, identified only as "Jane Doe #3" in court papers, told the Guardian newspaper that she refuses to be "unjustly victimised again" after robust denials from Buckingham Palace and another man named in the suit.
The story made headline news in Britain's newspapers on Saturday.
According to the motion filed in a Florida court on Monday, the woman alleges she was "forced to have sexual relations" with Andrew, the Duke of York, in London, New York and the Caribbean at the behest of Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein, a known friend of the 54-year-old prince, was convicted in 2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and served a prison term.
No dates for the purported sexual encounters were given, but the woman claimed she was Epstein's sex slave from 1999 through 2002.
In a strongly worded response on Friday, Buckingham Palace said that "any suggestion of impropriety with underage minors is categorically untrue".
Another man named in the court papers also robustly protested his innocence.
Alan Dershowitz, one of Epstein's defence lawyers with whom "Jane Doe #3" was allegedly forced to have sex with on several occasions, told AFP the story was "made up".
He accused "Jane Doe #3" of "filing a false and malicious legal proceeding" in an attempt to extort money from his former client.
In a statement issued to the Guardian through her lawyers, the woman said: "These types of aggressive attacks on me are exactly the reason why sexual abuse victims typically remain silent and the reason why I did for a long time.
"That trend should change. I'm not going to be bullied back into silence."

Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.
With the better offer, you'll earn 2 weekend nights at almost any Hilton hotel after meeting minimum spending requirements. Plus a $100 statement credit when you spend $100 or more on your 1st Hilton hotel stay in the 1st 3 months of opening your account.
Million Mile Secrets readers have questions about how much time they have to use 2 weekend night certificates you earn with the card.
I called Hilton and have the answers!
What's the Deal?
Link: Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Card
Link: My Review of the Improved Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve Offer
You'll earn 2 weekend night certificates (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) when you spend $2,500 in purchases in the 1st 4 months of opening your Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve account. And you can use the certificates at almost any Hilton hotel.
The improved offer includes a $100 statement credit for spending $100 or more on your 1st Hilton hotel stay in the 1st 3 months of opening your account.
Hilton hotels include Conrad, DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Home2Suites, Homewood Suites, and Waldorf Astoria brand hotels.
Hilton says:
Weekend night certificate is valid for twelve (12) months after the date of issuance, as noted on the certificate
And the certificates are issued after you've met the minimum spending requirements on the card.
Book or Stay Within 12 Months?
Million Mile Secrets reader soosie commented:
Regarding: "The certificates are valid for 12 months from the date they're issued."
Does that mean you have to book the room / make the reservation within 12 months OR you have to stay at the hotel within 12 months? Thanks for any clarification! I would hate to mess up my travel plans.
I called Hilton to clarify the terms. The representative said:
Your stay must be completed before the expiry date on the certificate
So you can NOT make a booking within the 12 months for a stay after the certificate expires.
Can You Extend the Certificate Validity?
Million Mile Secrets reader Eric wrote:
Is there any way to extend the expiration date? My certificates expire in June, but I'm not available to travel until July. Is it possible to book the 2 nights for July before the certificates expire? Or is there a way to request an extension for the certificates similar to other brands?
Your stay must occur before the certificates expire. And Hilton says there's NO way to extend their validity.
The certificates (and their expiration dates) are coded into your Hilton HHonors account. So there's no way around the expiration date.
For ideas on how to use your Hilton weekend night certificates, check out my posts:
- 5 Great Hotels in Europe
- 5 Top US Hotels
- 5 Amazing Hotels in Australia and the South Pacific
- 5 Spectacular Hotels in Asia
- 5 Beautiful Hotels in the Caribbean
- 5 of the Best US Beaches
There are lots of great Hilton hotel options in the US and abroad where you can use the 2 weekend night certificates from the Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve card. Hopefully these posts spark your imagination!
Bottom Line
On the Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve card, you'll earn 2 weekend nights at almost any Hilton after you spend $2,500 on purchases in the 1st 4 months of opening your account.
Plus a $100 statement credit when you spend $100+ on your 1st Hilton stay in the 1st 3 months of opening your account.
You'll receive the certificates after you meet the minimum spending requirement. And they're valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
There's NO way to extend their validity. And your stay(s) must occur before the certificates expire.
Thanks for the questions, soosie and Eric!

Kensington Church Street looks like it is holding the annual Moto Grand Prix, with Strutt & Parker mopeds arriving from all directions in time for the 7.45am start-the-week meeting.
The flats team are very excited about some fantastic new properties we are launching this week, and the morning is spent arranging a mass of viewings. The afternoon is somewhat ruined by a pigeon on a mission, ending in a visit to the dry cleaners! Thankfully I keep a spare suit in the office.
However, there is plenty of viewing activity this afternoon and the market is looking more encouraging than of late. I spend the evening playing squash in our yearly mini Olympics against the other branches. Training has been intense for months.
It's a struggle getting out of bed — my legs are incredibly sore as a result of last night's epic squash match. My first meeting is at 8am at head office in Hill Street with our residential development team, who are summarising the very exciting new projects we've been instructed on.
We start work on a fabulous maisonette above a Michelin-star restaurant — we have promised ourselves that if we achieve a good result for our clients, we will have a six-course dinner there to celebrate. Great news in the afternoon — we exchange on our third flat in Iverna Gardens this year.
My first viewing this morning almost gives the buyer a heart attack. There is no answer when we knock on the door and upon entry we are somewhat surprised to see the owner coming out of the shower. Luckily all parties concerned survive the experience and the buyer likes what they see... in terms of the property, that is!
The afternoon is spent in meetings with our private property search team, who have a number of hungry buyers looking locally.
I agreed a sale last night with another agent — but I get the dreaded phone call this morning to say we've been gazumped. This is the most unattractive part of our job and the agent always seems to get the blame.
My plan for today is to find another property for my charming buyers, and to leave no stone unturned. By the end of the day I've got eight properties to show them and I am feeling confident the mission will be accomplished.
A new client shows us around his ultra-cool apartment. The property has video cameras everywhere, so wherever our client is in the world, he can see and hear what's going on back home. I just hope anyone we bring along to see the place doesn't say or do anything inappropriate.
Thank God I saw Skyfall last night, as one of our clients has locked herself out of her apartment. To let her back in I scramble on to the roof, squeeze through the very small skylight and open the door from the inside. It's all terrifying, but I suffer only a minor rip in my trousers. Not a great week for my suits. What we do for our clients!

FMLA What You Need To Know. Camille Aziz, CILMA Sedgwick CMS October 3, 2007. Direct Cost of FMLA to Employers. Overall direct cost of FMLA in 2004 was $21 Billion Dollars. This did NOT include the added administrative burden employers faced in tracking and complying with FMLA.

Overall direct cost of FMLA in 2004 was $21 Billion Dollars. This did NOT include the added administrative burden employers faced in tracking and complying with FMLA.
The act of 1993 allows an eligible EE of a covered employer to take job protected leave for up to a total of 12 work weeks in any 12 months for:
Adoption & Foster Care
Birth of a Child
Care of a Family Member
Employees Own Serious Health Condition
An eligible employee is entitled to 12 work weeks of job protected leave during any 12 month period for a qualifying FMLA reason.
The Calendar Year
Any Fixed 12 Month Leave Year
12 Month Period Measured Forward From a Leave Event
Rolling 12 Month Period Measured Backward from a Leave Event
An eligible employee is entitled to 12 work weeks of job protected leave during any 12-month period for a qualifying FMLA reason.
12 Months of Service (does not have to be consecutive)
1250 Actual Hours Worked preceding the date of leave
Must have FMLA Hours Available to use
Request must be certified by a health care provider
A Serious Health Condition is any medical condition that makes a person unable to perform the essential functions of their job.
Hospital Care
Absence Plus Treatment
Chronic Conditions Requiring Treatment
Permanent/Long Term Conditions Requiring Supervision
Multiple Treatments (Non-Chronic Conditions)
The Employer is responsible for designating time off work as FMLA and informing Employees of their rights under FMLA.
The Employee is responsible for the completion of the Medical Certification to be given to the Employer.
The FMLA statue and regulations make clear that FMLA is NOT intended to be an additional 12 week leave entitlement stacked on top of an employer's existing leave policies.
If the Employer knows the reason for the leave is FMLA qualifying but does not designate it as FMLA, the employee is still afforded FMLA protections under the law, so to "save" FMLA leave for "later" means that the employee will likely have more than 12 weeks of FMLA protections.
Thank you for the time out of your day and for your attention.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may rise from 5-yr low, helped by oil
TORONTO Feb 24 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index may open higher on Tuesday as investors look for beaten-down shares the day after the index slid to its lowest closing level in more than five years.
The positive tone in the price of oil may lend some support to the energy group, which dropped 5 percent in the previous session, but the falling price of gold may offset.
Meanwhile, U.S. stock index futures pointed to a higher open as investors scoured the market for bargains after Monday's slide, which had prompted similar declines in overseas markets.
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE fell nearly 4 percent on Monday, hit by lower commodity prices, weak economic data and nagging concerns about U.S. banks.
Below is some of the news that may affect the market.
Autoparts maker Magna International MGa.TO reported a quarterly loss, hurt by a slump in global vehicle production and sales. It expects the first half of 2009 to be particularly challenging, as many original equipment manufacturers struggle to reduce dealer inventories. [ID:nN23445856]
HudBay Minerals (HBM.TO: Quote) said on Monday it had terminated its agreement to acquire Lundin Mining (LUN.TO: Quote), currently valued at about C$731.6 million, as it believes its shareholders would not approve the deal given current market conditions. [ID:nN23445856] Continued...

Latin jazz artists sue Grammys for dropping their category
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Four Latin jazz artists are suing the organizers of the Grammy Awards, alleging the elimination of their category from next year's competition has caused them irreparable harm.
Musicians Robert Sanabria, Benjamin Lapidus, Mark Levine and Eugene Marlow accused the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Inc. of violating its fiduciary and contractual obligations in April when it cut 31 categories from the annual awards ceremony, including Latin jazz.
The musicians' complaint was filed earlier this week in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan.
The lawsuit also accused the Academy of failing to consider the adverse impact the decision would have on the musicians' careers.
"There's nothing like having the ability to say 'Grammy-nominated,' 'Grammy-award-winning,'" their lawyer Roger Maldonado said on Tuesday.
The plaintiffs, who are seeking class-action status, accused the Academy specifically of failing to solicit input from the voting members of its 12 nationwide chapters before announcing the eliminations.
The Academy said in a statement: "The Recording Academy believes this frivolous lawsuit is without merit, and we fully expect to prevail."
In its news release announcing the eliminations, Academy officials said all general musical genres, such as rock, country, and jazz, would remain intact. The number of categories, however, would be condensed from 109 to 78.
"A transformation of the entire awards structure would ensure that all Fields would be treated with parity," the release said. Continued...

Diomed, foaled in 1777, was an English-bred Thoroughbred race horse who won the inaugural running of the Epsom Derby and was subsequently a successful sire in the United States of America.
Diomed "the Marvel"

|Sir Charles Bunbury, 6th Baronet

|Diomed is a thoroughbred racehorse out of Mare (1763) by Spectator by Florizel. He was born around 1777 in Great Britain, and was bred by Honorable Richard Vernon of Newmarket.
|Diomed Stakes Epsom Downs Racecourse
|Horse (Equus ferus caballus)
|Last updated on August 24, 2007
Bright Beginnings
A bright chestnut standing 15 hands 3 inches[1] he was named after the Ancient Greek hero Diomedes, he was by the unraced Florizel out of the unraced Pastorella's Dam, aka Sister to Juno (both going back to the Godolphin Arabian, and Sister to Juno going back as well to Darley Arabian), Diomed was bred by the Hon. Richard Vernon and owned by Sir Charles Bunbury.[1] He was started 19 times, winning 11, placing in 4, and showing in 3. This means he was out of the money only once if things then were as they are now.
Of these eleven wins, ten were consecutive, which included the inaugural running of the Epsom Derby in 1780. During these early bright years of Diomed's life, he was considered by many to be the best colt seen in Britain since the great English Eclipse, known as the Thoroughbred Eclipse.
He was allowed to rest for a while, but when he was brought back to the races, he wasn't the same horse. Sometimes he would win, and sometimes he wouldn't win, and more often the latter than the former. His last win was a King's Plate in four mile heats carrying 168 pounds.
Long dull years
Sir Charles retired Diomed to stud. His fee was five guineas, or about $25. (In England Diomed sired Grey Diomed who went to Russia where he was a great success, and also Young Giantess, who foaled Sorcerer and Eleanor.[1]) There were few takers, and for the next decade or so, Diomed's fee went down and down until, by the age of 21, it was two guineas. By then, there were virtually no takers, so the old stallion did nothing but graze alone.[2]
The New World
At what seemed an advanced age, an age when stallions usually retire, Sir Charles offered to sell the 21 year old Diomed. An American called Colonel John Hoomes of Bowling Green, Virginia bought him for $250, and then shipped him to Virginia where he was returned to stud in 1798. Aside from importing bloodstock into the US, Hoomes also maintained his own racing stable and sizeable stud service in which his good friend, another influential horseman of the time, John Tayloe III, was a partner. Although Hoomes and Tayloe's English agent wrote Hoomes a letter stating very clearly that Diomed was "...a tried and true bad foal-getter," and strongly recommending he not be put to stud, they were unswayed. Besides being personally impressed with the horse, a stallion of Tayloe's had also recently hurt himself, and Tayloe was in immediate need of a stud to replace him. Diomed went to work.[2]
In those days, stallions did not stand in one place, but moved from stud farm to stud farm. Diomed lived like this until he was thirty-one years old and was active to his very last days. His fee increased with his fame and his fame increased so quickly that Hoomes was able to sell a share in him for six times his purchase price soon after he set all four hooves on American soil.[2]
Brilliant endings
Diomed, along with Medley, Shark, and Messenger, were the four most important stallions introduced into early American bloodstock. Diomed threw many of the greatest horses in American turf history: Haynie's Maria, who beat every horse she met until she was nine, and about whom Andrew Jackson said, "...Haynie's Maria can beat anything in God's whole creation,"[2] the undefeated Ball's Florizel famous for his bad temper), Potomac, Duroc (sire of American Eclipse), and surely his greatest son of all, Sir Archy. Sir Archy had a huge influence on Thoroughbred history, siring the line which led to Timoleon, Boston, and Lexington.
Diomed's get included saddlehorses for Thomas Jefferson and statesman and jurist John Marshall.
At Diomed's passing at the age of 31, it was reported, "...there was as much mourning over his demise as there was at the death of George Washington."[2]

@ Steve Johnson: Thanks for clearing up that you were not the person who posted as John Stevens, again, I just found it "odd". You stated that you have the highest regards for PHC employees, yet you have allowed many of us to be treated this way, knowing exactly what was going on! Where were your full regards one year and two weeks ago when I was served a letter by PDQ asking me not to return to work after having complained about sexual harrassment? That's ok, no need to respond, your actions speak loud enough! I was a dedicated employee who allowed myself to be subjected to this poor treatment because I had co-workers, patients and my family that counted on me to be there every day. I absoluetly loved my job and had never had a complaint about my performance before I was pushed out. I too don't believe in being true to who I am, I don't pretend to be someone I'm not and I 'm proud to display my name here for all to see! It's the least I can do for all of the other people that are still being treated poorly. I would be more than happy to share all of the knowledge as well as the documentation I have kept to help solidify this case. Good luck to you Mr.Steve Johnson COO. I hope that you and anyone else who has allowed this to continue will stand up now and support those dedicated employees you hold in such high regards!
As a former PHC employee and a person who seriously considered filing suit against them as well, I too can attest to the mistreatment of employees by Kim Mansch. I was never out to gain financially by standing up for what I believed in, I only wanted to be heard, and have things change for the remaining co-workers, friends and patients that I had come to call my second family whom I left behind when I was forced to leave. The accusations on this page are only the tip of the ice-burg in what I believe to be a huge cover up scheme made possible by many management members, board members, HR (Patty Baumgartner ), the Union and probably many others that I am forgetting. This is in no way exaggerated, the situation at PHC is frightening. The power that Kim Mansch has is indescribable. The only way to keep your job and be able to perform your responsibilities without fear of losing your job is to conform to what Kim wants you to be, which in most cases is weak and easily manipulated. I am not either of those things, therefore I do not work for PHC anymore. Once you stand up for yourself, the patients and what's right you have a target on your back and it's not long after that. I hope at the very least this opens eyes to what truly goes on behind those doors and somebody does some investigation. You know what they say about Karma......well I just hope I'm around to see Kim get what's been coming to her! Oh and another thing.....may just be coincidence, however, I find it interesting that the head of the HR Dept for PHC's name is Steve Johnson.....and the one person who doesn't agree with the people who have ACTUALLY been mistreated is named John Steven...something to ponder.

Transfer-pricing systems within corporations differ among industrial nations; no one system is ideal for all organizations. Consideration of such a system should include its effects on incentive within the company as well as its usefulness in transferring information. Variation of transfer-pricing patterns according to the country of operation also is an important consideration for multinational corporations.

Mick Quinn got on Twitter after the final whistle was blown yesterday after a 10 man Newcastle side had scored 3 unanswered goals in the last 20 minutes and slammed Spurs 5-1.
So much for the best defense in the Premier League.
Mick wants the balloon heads at Newcastle to sign up Rafa.
With a little translation we can only assume he means owner Mike Ashley and his Sergeant at Arms – the arrogant and incompetent Lee Charnley – who make up the Brains Trust at the club.
Top result for Rafa and @NUFC
Now for the balloon heads in charge to snap up Rafa on a long contract and build for the future#HOWAYTHELADS

The Remington NYLON 66 - I still have mine. Amazing lightweight, accurate little .22 - Mine is Black Nylon & Bright Chrome.
I'm best guessing that yours may be the most rare. I've seen the brown ones but, have never even heard of the green?
Regardless they have quite a following these days and have really appreciated in value.
I can't believe what the vintage ones sell for now. Mine would still be in Mint condition except for the fact that I somehow managed to put one long scratch on the stock. I have absolutely no idea how that even happened. I just saw it about a month ago.
Mine has one of the very first "light gathering" illuminated optics mounted on it.
The view through it is pale reddish with fairly coarse green "lit up" crosshairs. It's called the OPTI-SIGHT or something dumb like that. Very well made though. Nicely machined from steel & it's even hot blued.
