Baklava: Recipe
Turkish home cook Aysel Celtikoglu demystifies baklava.
Turkish home cook Aysel Celtikoglu made this popular dessert for Seda Kula's iftar. She stresses the importance of using a very sharp knife to cut one-bite pieces all the way through before cooking, and cooking the sugar water until it's syrupy. Try to buy shelled walnuts and pulse them in a food processor into tiny pebbles (not powder).
One fussy thing about baklava is the cooking temperature and time. Celtikoglu needs just 20 minutes at 375F (190C) at home, but at Kula's house the oven is too hot and she needs a much longer time at 300F (150F). I bought the same brand of phyllo, Lilas, and cooked for the recommended hour at 300F (190C) but needed another 30 minutes at 350 (180C). In other words, baklava is temperamental so you'll have to play with the heat and watch your tray closely.
1-lb (450-g) package frozen phyllo dough, thawed as per package instructions
2 cups (500 mL) finely crushed walnuts
1 cup (250 mL) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup (80 mL) vegetable oil
3 cups (750 mL) each: granulated sugar, water
1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice
Finely ground pistachios (optional garnish)
Divide phyllo sheets into 2 equal parts. Place half-sheets on large rimmed baking sheet to fit. (If you don't have the right size, either trim the phyllo to fit or divide it over two trays.) Spread walnuts evenly over surface. Top with remaining stack of phyllo sheets. Using very sharp knife, cut all the way through phyllo to create 64 small pieces.
In small saucepan, melt butter with oil over medium-low heat.
Using pastry brush, spread butter evenly over phyllo.
Bake in centre of 350F (180C) oven until phyllo is puffed and golden, watching oven closely and lowering heat if baklava is cooking too fast, about 45 to 75 minutes.
In medium saucepan, bring sugar and water to boil over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly and turns into light syrup, about 15 minutes. (To test, drop small amount on thumbnail. If it sticks to nail, it's ready. If it drips off, continue boiling.) Stir in lemon juice. Cool to room temperature.
Pour cooled syrup over hot baklava. If desired, sprinkle top with pistachios. Let stand at least 1 hour before serving.
Makes 64 pieces.

While the excitement of Signing Day is still lingering, eight Notre Dame seniors received a very important invitation yesterday that will play a huge factor in their professional careers. The NFL's annual scouting combine in Indianapolis released their official invite list and it was filled with Irish players.
Here are the following players who will be in Indianapolis for the annual cattle call.
Braxston Cave, C
Tyler Eifert, TE
Kapron Lewis-Moore, DE
Zeke Motta, DB
Theo Riddick, RB
Jamoris Slaughter, DB
Manti Te'o, LB
Cierre Wood, RB
It's a really interesting list and just about every player invited has something to specifically prove. For Cave, it'll be improving on his Senior Bowl performance, where the former Irish center struggled athletically when matched up with some elite prospects. There's no doubt Cave will impress when it comes time to bench press or meet with individual teams, but he'll need to show he can handle the demands of the position at the next level.
For Eifert, a solid combine performance could solidify his spot in the first round. Of the 19 tight ends invited to Indianapolis, Eifert is likely battling Stanford's Zach Ertz's for the top spot at the position. A solid performance athletically — not to mention an elite 40 time — would go along way towards locking down an early draft spot. It'll be interesting to see those two match up physically, as they are basically mirror images on paper, with both measuring 6-foot-6 in the program, and Ertz having one pound on Eifert at 252.
For Lewis-Moore, who is less than a month into his recovery after knee surgery, it'll be an opportunity for teams' medical staffs to poke and prod the versatile defensive lineman. With an invitation validation his solid senior season, Lewis-Moore's character and size will likely be enough for a team to take a flier on him.
Zeke Motta will likely need to shake the final game of his career, where he made 16 tackles, but missed a half-dozen more that led to big Alabama plays. But Motta is a physical specimen, a guy that should put up impressive numbers in this type of setting, and needs to show coverage skills and speed to match the physicality he played with this season. One game doesn't define a career, but it's something he'll need to address and build on.
The big thing to watch for Theo Riddick is his forty-time. If he can get into the 4.5 range, he'll likely have some team take a shot at him, if only for his versatility. While Riddick was a challenge to tackle in space, I've always been skeptical of his top-end speed, if only because he's been chased down by defensive backs from Navy and BYU in the past. Riddick may have been the bell cow of the Irish offense in 2012, but to stick in the NFL, he'll need to take advantage of the versatility he displayed during his four seasons in South Bend.
Perhaps the most interesting invite of the group belongs to Jamoris Slaughter. While he's still appealing the NCAA for a sixth year, Slaughter's name on the list shows the regard for him as a player, even while he's making the recovery from a season-ending Achilles tendon injury. Slaughter's measureables will be interesting — he's just not as physically big and fast as he played in the Irish secondary. It doesn't appear that Slaughter is back and ready to run and jump for potential employers, but the fact that he's on the list means he's on teams radar.
In what will be NFL team's first opportunity to talk with Manti Te'o, expect a media circus as we get one more opportunity to rehash the post-script to Te'o's heralded football career. Any team looking at Te'o will likely want to spend some time discussing the catfishing hoax, but they'll also want to dig deeper into a future rock for an NFL defense. There's little worry that Te'o will be able to ease any teams' fear off the field. But he'll need to show the size, speed and athleticism he displayed throughout the season, and make teams forget about the egg he laid against Alabama.
An invite to the combine was an important first step for Cierre Wood. Now he's got to put up numbers that make a team believe he's capable of being a feature back in the league. Skipping out on his final year of eligibility, Wood lost the chance to showcase his skillset for one final season as the featured back in an Irish offense that'll be more explosive next season. So he'll need to show the top-end speed many think he possesses and better than expected size and strength.
One of Notre Dame's long-time verbal commitments is no longer planning on joining the Irish's 2015 recruiting class. Texas safety Prentice McKinney took an official visit to North Carolina last weekend and flipped his commitment to Larry Fedora's Tar Heels on Wednesday, dropping Notre Dame's recruiting class down to 22 players and just two safeties.
While the Irish coaching staff traverses the country taking in-home visits, Notre Dame's staff is close to putting the finishing touches on a stellar recruiting class. The additional of Aliz'e Jones pushes the Irish into a consensus Top 10 class — quite an accomplishment considering this was supposed to be a smaller group.
The first four members of the 2015 recruiting class begin their time at Notre Dame on Tuesday, with classes starting for early-enrollee freshmen Tevon Coney, Micah Dew-Treadway, Tristen Hoge and Jerry Tillery. All four freshmen will take part in winter workouts and spring practice, set to start in early March.

Adam Morrison to play for Serbian team
Former Gonzaga star Adam Morrison, trying to resurrect his pro career after not playing in the NBA last season, has signed with Serbian club power Crvena Zvezda, according to his agent.
Morrison's deal does not contain an NBA opt out clause, so the former No. 3 overall pick will be in Serbia for the duration of the season.
Overseas Player Tracker
Which players are planning to make the move overseas? Check out our chart for the latest info.
• Overseas tracker: Going abroad?
Mark Bartelstein, Morrison's Chicago-based representative, said Friday that there had been "real conversations" between the parties and acknowledged legitimate interest "on both sides" after overseas reports described the deal as all but done.
Drafted third overall by Charlotte in 2006, Morrison spent 2½ seasons with the Bobcats before being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers midway through the 2008-09 season.
Morrison was on the Lakers' roster for two championships after being dealt to L.A. with Shannon Brown for Vladimir Radmanovic, but the 27-year-old has not been a rotation player since suffering a serious knee injury that cost him the entire 2007-08 season.
Morrison is determined to play and play a lot in the hopes of working his way back to the NBA.

STAGE TUBE: First Look - Trailer for Seth MacFarlane's TED
TED is set to be released in theaters on July 13, 2012 from Universal Pictures. The comedy marks the directorial debut of Seth MacFarlane, who also co-wrote, co-produced and stars in the film. The cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Joel McHale and Patrick Warburton.
In the film, Wahlberg plays John, a perfectly normal Boston native whose childhood wish for his teddy bear to come to life comes true. The bear (Ted) - voiced by MacFarlane himself - remains his best friend well into his adult years. Conflict emerges when Ted's irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle comes in the way of John's attempt to embrace his adulthood and the woman of his dreams, Lori (Mila Kunis).
Get a first look at the trailer for the upcoming film below!

a quick design for Cathie T's friend James who has just been selected to represent Australia at the 2009 UCI Juniors Road and Track World Championships…that's fabulous and as my dear old Dad was an Olympic cyclist…. well I'm going to donate this design to help out with the fund raising…..
Your timing is a little scary Ms Juilee. I am currently nursing some very sore bum muscles from my first bike ride in over ten years. The worst thing is, I now OWN said torture machine, and am expected to use it on a regular basis.
Nice tee btw :) And congrats to James…
hi lovely one and geez louise that is scary….. me I don't believe in such strenous exercise type undertakings….. must have been put off by watching Dad hurtle around all the time on his deadly treadly….. but still if it can help this lad get to Moscow then that would be great…. and you know I actually like having a reason to make new things…. like this …although it only took about ten minutes…. aint' photoshop great ….:)
and be careful on that bike you…. you bikie chick from way back…….and think very carefully about the lycra that is going to be required…. that all by itself is almost as scarey as the actual effort needed to power the damned bikes….. :)
– Juilee Pryor
you're a darling!I like the repetition.It works well.
hey thanks Sticky…. it's for a fund raising thingy…. and a great idea to get some redbubble types to kick in I reckon….. glad you like the repetition…. I fooled about with that for a while…… :)
– Juilee Pryor
wOOt! It's fabulous Juilee!
thanks Cathie….various versions are on their way to you right now… please use the last one sent….. and lets hope it all helps out hey…..cheers
– Juilee Pryor
I'm a little slow on my comments, Juilee. The style of this design is wonderful. Sort of Victorian with a contemporary object.
hi Pat…. yes I'm really like this victorian type of graphic but it's not really turning the world on in terms of sales or anything…. oh well it's still nice to make new designs….. thanks heaps for looking as well……:)

Davidson on Property and Identity
The Harvard Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Law Review has published Property and Identity: Vulnerability and Insecurity in the Housing Crisis, 47 Harv. C.R.-C.L. L. Rev. 119 (2012) by Nestor Davidson (Fordham). This piece builds on the author's previous theoretical work in the area of property and personal identity by taking a hard look at the, perhaps evanescent, soul-searching occasioned by the nation's mortgage crisis. Here's an excerpt from the introductory section:
A growing body of evidence in a number of fields has challenged the ethos of acquisition thatprevailed before the crash, and these insights can form the basis for a different understanding of property and identity. It is not clear, however, that this opportunity is taking hold. As the economy stabilizes, early signs of a rebalance involving a shift toward an emphasis on personal relationships and experiences rather than possessions seem to be fading.
The housing crisis, in short, holds lessons about the ineluctable distortions that the intimate landscape of property can generate. This Article focuses on three facets of that landscape. Part I examines the role that status anxiety played in the housing boom. Part II turns to emotional aspects of how the pendulum has swung against homeownership after the downturn. Part III reflects on what these dynamics suggest for rethinking homeownership as a touchstone, and for re-examining the centrality of consumption more broadly. The Article concludes in Part IV by arguing that the legal system and housing policy must be more cognizant of these emotional variables, even if the institutional mechanisms available to do so are relatively limited.

Two bodies found after shooting in Northern Ireland
Police forensics officers were scouring an isolated farmhouse in Northern Ireland for evidence tonight after the discovery of the bodies of two men who had been shot dead.
The bodies were found in a farmhouse a mile from the village of Glenarm, Co Antrim, by a farm worker who raised the alarm. Police were not immediately treating the deaths as terrorist-related but the inquiry was in its initial stages.
Stewart Dickson, the Northern Ireland Assembly member for the area, said: "This is an absolutely shocking incident, which has left the village and the surrounding community in shock.
"My thoughts are with the families and friends of the deceased and would call for anyone with any information to contact the PSNI as soon as possible. I hope the police will be able to determine what was behind this tragic incident tonight."
Sinn Fein MLA Oliver McMullan said the community was stunned by what he described as a "double tragedy".
"The death tonight of two men is a tragedy not only for the families but also for the community," he said.
"The community is in a state of shock as both men were well known within this tight knit community.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the families at this time."
A Police Service of Northern Ireland spokesman said: "An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths is under way. There are no further details at present."
The dead men were named locally as farm owner Arthur Gibson, in his early 60s, and farm labourer Michael Murphy, in his late 30s.
Police were not thought to be looking for anyone else in connection with the shootings.
Neighbours helped to milk the cows and keep the farm operating as the police investigation carried on.

Saleen mustang twin turbo over 900 rwhp!!! THIS IS NOT MY CAR. NOR DO I KNOW THE GUY WHO OWNS IT. Let's also clear something up.. this car has 900 rwhp(rear wheel horsepower)... that's different from bhp(brake horsepower) which is measured from the engine. The bugatti Veyron has 1000Bhp, not whp(power to the wheels, since it's awd). rwhp is ROUGHLY 15-20% less than bhp. so a car with 1000bhp probably has around 850rwhp. With that said, this car has probably around 1100 bhp... so please retards, don't say that the Veyron has more hp bc it clearly doesn't. Whether it goes faster is completely different and if your e-penis gets bigger after stating your opinion, then go for it. With that said, here is a description of everything done to the car THAT I FOUND ON THE WEBSITE THAT I FOUND THIS VIDEO FROM(for the tards who wonder how I know so much about it): This car started out as a 1999 Mustang GT 5 speed. The car retains most of the factory interior excpet for the gauge cluster which has been replaced with the Florida 5.0 Setup. I will give you a rundown of what the car has. This car made 888Rwhp and 787+Rwtq on the Dyno BLOWING the tires of the car on the rollers. Car was tuned by Job Spetter Jr from turbo People and was still unable to fully tune the car because they couldn't get traction on the Dyno. This is the car that WILL spin at 100+mph. Car retains Power steering with a custom P/S pump added to the otherwise factory power steering and braking system. The turbos on this car are low mounted, so you can't see them from the engine compartment. They are hidden neatly behind the front facia of the car, the turbo inlets feed right from the bottom of the saleen skirt. Car does have an oil scavange system as they are mounted so low. Interior: Mainly all original. Florida 5.0 Gauge cluster w/ Autometer Gauges Exterior: Complete Saleen S281 Kit Including Supercharged emblems and decals w/ S281 3 pice wing. $8000 House of Color Custom Silver Metallic paint job with heavy metal flake (including jams and all other nooks and crannies) Replica Saleen 18x10" and 18x9" wheels with 295/35/18 and 275/35/18 Kuhmo Ecsta MX's Engine/Drivetrain/Suspension. R block 354 CI Stroked Canfield Heads fully ported Custom Intake from turbo People Custom cam from Isky 75 mm throttlebody Custom Air to Air Intercooler from Precision QA1 tubular K member Granettli coil overs with Koni shocks on all four corners Twin Precision P-52 turbo's with turbosmart waste gates Custom 1 off 1 7/8 custom headers made out of 321 stainless steel with Burns collecters 3 inch custom Exhaust all the way back made out of 304 stainless steel w/ Burns Mufflers X2C Motorsports V2.0 Tremec Transmission (good for 8.90's or 1.1 60ft's) 33 Spline Mosers (yes 33 spline) with Mosier Spool and TA 8.8 Cover Mcleod Twin Disk Clutch Fuel/Management Weldon 2025A Weldon Step down box 96lbs Boch injecters -10 Fuel Feed -6 return Accel Gen VII DFI 99% of this car is custom 1 off. You will not find another street car like this anywhere. This car is no doubt magazine material, and if taken to the right events, you will get coverage for it. Crowds? Everywhere this car goes it attracts attention, wether it's the custom metallic paint, or the sounds of two turbo's spooling, people love. This car is simply a work of art, but requires a driver with the balls to handle the power this car puts out. With slicks on, Job told us this car will make the 1000rwhp mark with no problems. Over $60,000 invested in this car. To all the retards arguing if the noise is a BOV or otherwise...WHO REALLY CARES????? Your e-penis doesn't get any bigger when you know where a certain sound of a car is coming from.

We then proclaimed, "The 2009 Nissan 370Z raises the standard for the sport coupe segment to a new level of affordable excellence." Time to get more serious. It's V8 time. Who's in? Let's see, no Camaro, and a Challenger is not available (don't ask), so that leaves the freshly updated 2010 Ford Mustang GT, a car whose very existence is predicated upon wallet-friendly performance. Perhaps a reinvigorated veteran can take down the newly crowned king. The particulars might differ — four seats versus two, V8 versus V6 — but the mission is the same. And the 2009 Nissan 370Z and 2010 Ford Mustang GT are priced closer than you might think.

POMPANO BEACH, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 02/06/13 -- Cyclone Power Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: CYPW), developer of the all-fuel, clean-tech Cyclone Engine, announced today that it has signed an agreement with The Ohio State University's prestigious Center for Automotive Research (OSU CAR) to perform design analysis and testing services for the company.
Cyclone has teamed with OSU CAR to assist in the commercialization of its external combustion engine technology, specifically the company's Waste Heat Engine (WHE) model. OSU CAR will initially perform finite element and dynamic stress analysis of the engine, followed by independent long term durability testing. Cyclone will utilize Phoenix Power's waste motor oil combustion chamber / heat exchanger (CCHX) to supply steam to the system during these tests, which will also allow the team to document exhaust emissions from the integrated system.
Giorgio Rizzoni, director of OSU CAR and a Ford Motor Company Chair, stated: "We're pleased to be working with Cyclone on this very promising new technology. We see the great potential for utilizing Cyclone engines in the waste-to-energy sector, and are excited to be part of their development. I believe that our team of talented engineers and students will be able to add considerable value to this program."
OSU CAR is a Columbus-based interdisciplinary research center within The Ohio State University's College of Engineering, which is located only 30 miles from the site of Cyclone's proposed joint venture with Precision CNC to manufacture Cyclone engines. Among other expertise, OSU CAR focuses on advanced engine development; alternative fuels for reduced fuel consumption and emissions; electric and hybrid drivetrains; and advanced battery technology. CAR performs research and analysis for some of the largest automotive OEMs and government agencies in the world. Student teams housed at OSU CAR have also developed vehicles that have set land speed records for battery and fuel cell powered electric vehicles at the Bonneville Salt Flats, in three different categories. Each of these records has surpassed 300 mph.
Jim Landon, Cyclone's CEO, stated: "We're thrilled to be working with Dr. Rizzoni and his team at Ohio State Center for Automotive Research. There is much we believe they can add to the commercialization and market placement of our engine technology, including a fresh set of engineering eyes and respected third-party validation. Their close proximity to our manufacturing partner, as well as the tremendous value their expertise provides us, makes this a major step forward for Cyclone and our shareholders."
About Cyclone Power Technologies
Cyclone Power Technologies is the developer of the award-winning Cyclone Engine -- an all-fuel, clean-tech engine with the power and versatility to run everything from waste energy electric generators and solar thermal systems to cars, trucks and locomotives.

Comedian Chris Hardwick didn't build his Nerdist empire by having crappy ideas. The host of At Midnight appeared on Conan this week and got to work hosting the first ever segment of The Talking Dead. Sorry, I mean Talking Bread. Much more nom-able.
At first we thought, how can anyone make talking about bread interesting, especially when we're still years away from smell-o-vision (hurry up smell-o-vision!). How wrong of me to doubt Hardwick and his obvious affinity for all things yeasty.
Hardwick was joined by comedians Andy Daly and Tig Notaro, who should all win awards not only for their incredible volume and quality of bread puns, but for keeping a straight face through the entire schtick. It's the Schweaty Balls of 2014.

Google Satellite Internet coming soon
Kind of a sparse article from Engadget, but exciting nonetheless:
Google's plans for satellite-based internet access just got a little more concrete. The Wall Street Journal hears that the search firm is preparing to build 180 "small, high capacity" satellites (not pictured here) that will go into low orbit and provide internet connections to underserved areas. While details aren't forthcoming about the machines, there may be more on the way; reportedly, the company could "double" its vehicle count if all goes well. A spokeswoman didn't confirm or deny the efforts, but did note that having an internet link "significantly improves people's lives."

KUALA LUMPUR: The chief executive officer of a company was sentenced by a Sessions Court here to two years' jail and ordered to be whipped two times for cheating a sales manager by inducing the latter to hand over three cheques totalling RM150,000 over the purchase of a business plan.
Sessions Judge Norsharidah Awang handed down the decision Friday after the defence failed to prove reasonable doubt in Mohd Syawaludin Siran's case.
Judge Norsharidah also jailed company director Rosinah Ahad for 20 months over the same offence.
She made the order after she found that the defence was a mere denial and an afterthought.
Judge Norsharidah instructed the sentences to run from Friday.
Mohd Syawaludin, 38, and Rosinah, 26, who were the CEO and director of retail network firm Kopais Konsortium (M) Sdn Bhd, were jointly accused of cheating Medicoptic Supplies Sdn Bhd sales manager Noorzita Baharudin, 48.
Both had dishonestly induced Noorzita into believing that they would sell her a 24-hour convenience store, Station Rakyat, at Plaza Usahawan Crystal Ville, Taman Danau Kota in Setapak here.
Their act resulted in Noorzita giving them three cheques totalling RM150,000 which were deposited into a Kopais Konsortium Maybank account in order for her to buy the business plan.
Both committed the offence at Jalan Wangsa Delima 1A, KLSC 3 in Wangsa Maju here at about 11am on Jan 7, last year.
Mohd Syawaludin and Rosinah were charged under Section 420 of the Penal Code, which provides a maximum of 10 years' imprisonment and whipping and also a fine, on conviction.
In asking for leniency, Mohd Syawaludin and Rosinah's counsel Mohd Zawahid Ya said Mohd Syawaludin was now a free lance consultant and had four children to support while Rosinah was currently a student.
Deputy public prosecutor Noor Svetlana Mohd Noor Nordin said the court should consider public interest in handing down the sentences as it involved a cheating case that was so professional.
She said the victim was still traumatised following the incident as the RM150,000 was her savings.
Judge Norsharidah later granted a stay of execution pending appeal.

What Falling Milk Prices Say About an Economic Slowdown
By Jeff Cox, CNBC.com Senior Writer
NEW YORK ( CNBC) -- The decline of milk prices this year has been a welcome development for consumers pressured by $4 a gallon gas, but could be a bad sign for the economy.
Falling milk prices--particularly over the past decade--have been a warning signal for a slowdown, while rising prices have accompanied upturns in the economy, according to research from Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx in New York.
"That's good news for this high-profile consumer good and its effect on inflationary expectations," Colas said. "At the same time, milk prices have been cyclical since the Great Depression. The pullback in 2012 could therefore be a useful early warning sign about a slowing U.S., and global, recovery."
Prices pulled back during the recessions of 2002-03 and 2009, while they surged in 2001, 2004, 2007 and 2011. More from CNBC

She was extremely surprised at seeing a door, over which was written, 'Beauty's Apartment'. She opened it hastily, and was quite dazzled with the magnificence that reigned throughout; but what chiefly took up her attention, was a large library… she took a book, and read these words, in letters of gold:
"Welcome Beauty, banish fear,
You are queen and mistress here.
Speak your wishes, speak your will,
Swift obedience meets them still."

The Mondrian Soho hotel is one of New York's hippest
Hip urban boutique hotel, The Mondrian, is inspired by a world-renowned whimsical love story
This 'tale as old as time', written by Jeanne-Marie LePrince de Beaumont and immortalised in Jean Cocteau's 1946 film Beauty and the Beast, was the inspiration for the latest instalment of fairy-tale designs at the Mondrian SoHo, which is part of a hip boutique hotel chain that first opened its doors in West Hollywood in 1996. The man in charge of bringing this story to life was quirky New York interior designer Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz.
"We were looking for a fairy tale that would work in New York City. The city is always portrayed as a beast. It's hard to make it here, it's dirty and ugly, and people are rude. But New York works on you until you fall in love with it and, all of a sudden, the city is gorgeous! That's exactly what happened in Beauty and the Beast," Benjamin explains. The Beauty's journey, far away from her home, begins as guests step off the hip SoHo streets into a dramatic arched tunnel, where sinuous vines lure guests into an enchanted palace. At the end of this portal to another world is an all-white lobby with hints of dramatic French blue (Beauty's favourite colour). One wall in this space is a blue mirror, which Benjamin explains, "Is very flattering because it doesn't show your wrinkles, so it introduces you to this beautiful parallel universe."
Isola Trattoria, the hotel's Mediterranean restaurant, is located off the lobby and offers guests a glimpse into the Beast's enchanted garden. This room is Benjamin's interpretation of Cocteau's glass garden gazebo where the Beast kept his prized jewels. The focal point of this dramatic space is a sculpture by Beth Lipman, where oversized glass goblets and tableware symbolise the banquet that the Beast laid out for Beauty every night in the hope that she would fall in love with him and break the curse, turning him back into the handsome prince he once was.
Up in the guest rooms, Benjamin offers a look into the princely life of the Beast. All corridors are drenched in royal blue and rooms, although small, are made to feel palatial with their decor and sweeping views of the big, bad city – Benjamin's beast. "In your room, you are royalty: you are the beast and that's why there is the royal blue carpet. The room's main decoration is New York City, with amazing 10-foot floor-to-ceiling windows," he explains. Furniture is kept to a minimum, and is all white with polished stainless-steel details. The glamour-enhancing blue mirrors reappear here, often reflecting the city views. Rich, white marble bathrooms enhance the princely appeal.
For Mr H, the hotel's hip bar and lounge, Benjamin was asked to present something completely different from the hotel's overriding theme. Given the property's location on the edge of Chinatown, he decided to create a dramatic red lair. "The idea was that a group of guys got together and decided to open a bar," Benjamin says. "It was opened in the year of the rabbit, so there were a lot of rabbit references." A series of Chinese characters is painted on a wall behind a burlap drape, while a curio of strange objects behind the bar, a montage of frames and a flickering neon sign on one wall add to the slightly seedy, speakeasy feel of Mr H.
The Mondrian SoHo injects a dose of Hollywood glamour into its quiet, residential Crosby Street neighbourhood. But Benjamin has succeeded in making sure that it doesn't interrupt the tranquil vibe of its environs. Enchanted by the tale of Beauty and the Beast, the drama he creates is understated, unlike many overly trendy New York hotels. This is at once a relaxed urban retreat and a place to see and be seen.

31 children burned to death in Colombia bus accident
BOGOTA – Thirty-one children were burned to death when a bus they were traveling in caught fire in northern Colombia on Sunday, the Red Cross said.
Another 25 people – including one adult – were injured and seriously burned in the accident near the town of Fundacion, Cesar Uruena with the Colombian Red Cross said.
"The injured have second and third-degree burns, and many are still in a critical condition" in hospitals in the area and in the city of Santa Marta, Urena said.
The children aboard the bus were between the ages of one and eight and were returning home after a religious service, Fundacion Mayor Luz Stella Duran told reporters.
Department of Magdalena police said that the bus exploded around noon, and that the fire was so severe they had problems determining the number of casualties.
Stella Duran said that – according to survivors – the bus driver had been handling a container with gasoline aboard the vehicle. Police initially blamed the fire on a mechanical problem. — AFP

Jamie keeps the Murray flag flying in Japan
Thursday 03 October 2013
Andy Murray may be missing from this week's Rakuten Japan Open following back surgery but the world No 3's brother is keeping the family name in the spotlight here. Jamie Murray and his doubles partner, John Peers of Australia, reached the semi-finals with an emphatic 7-5, 6-1 victory over Nicolas Almagro and Pablo Cuevas, who had beaten the Bryan brothers in the first round.
Murray and Peers, who now face Julian Knowle and Jurgen Melzer, are unbeaten in their first six matches on the Asia swing, having won the title in Bangkok last weekend. It was their third trophy since joining forces at the start of this year.
Another Briton, Dominic Inglot, is also through to the last four here. Inglot, who is currently at a career-high No 32 in the world doubles rankings, and his partner, Treat Huey of the Philippines, beat Spain's Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez, the world's third highest ranked pair, 6-3, 6-3 to maintain their own fine record this year.
In the last two months Inglot and Huey have reached one final and made the last eight of the US Open. They now meet Rohan Bopanna and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
Two more Britons, Colin Fleming and Jonny Marray, failed to reach the semi-finals of the China Open when they were beaten 6-4, 7-6 by Max Mirnyi and Horia Tecau in Beijing, where Novak Djokovic maintained his hopes of retaining the world No 1 singles ranking when he earned a quarter-final meeting with Sam Querrey by beating Fernando Verdasco 7-5, 2-6, 6-2. Rafael Nadal, who faces Fabio Fognini in the quarters, needs to reach the final to take the No 1 ranking.
Serena Williams also reached the quarter-finals in Beijing, beating Russia's Maria Kirilenko 7-5, 7-5. Williams broke back when Kirilenko had three set points at 5-4 in the first set. The world No 1 was also the first to drop serve in the second set but recovered to record her 70th victory of the year.
