When you think of beauty on celluloid, you cannot forget Devika Rani. She epitomised beauty and grace and brought sophistication to the Indian screen at an era when women acting in films was not regarded as a respectable profession.
Madhubala ruled the Indian screen in the 50s. Be it the girl next door in 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi' or the love struck Anarkali in 'Mughal-e-Azam' or the spirited young women in 'Half Ticket', she essayed each role with panache and wooed the audience with her enigmatic smile.
Sharmila Tagore - the bong beauty stunned India when she appeared in a bikini on the cover of a magazine. The bold actress, made her debut in 'Kashmir Ki Kali' opposite Shammi Kapoor and the nation echoed the joyous ode to her beauty 'Tareef Karron kya uski jisne tumhe banaya
When Zeenat Aman played the troubled teenager in Dev Anand's 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna', the audience's heart went all out for her. Her fresh looks and glamorous yet realistic on-screen and off-screen persona made her a fashion icon of the decade. Women started wearing bell bottoms, big glares to emulate this style diva. And men sighed at her beauty.
Southern beauty Sridevi ruled this decade. Her classical looks coupled with spell binding acting prowess made her a household name. A talented dancer, Sridevi epitomised classical Indian looks in each of her film, be it 'Chalbaaz' or 'Mr India'.
Madhuri Dixit took the Indian screen by storm with her latkas and jhatkas in the 90s. Every time the talented actress gyrated to chartbusters songs like 'Ek do teen', 'Tamma Tamma loge' or 'Choli ke peechhe kya hai', men skipped a heartbeat.
While Katrina and Priyanka ruling the Box Office these days, one can't forget former Miss World Aishwarya Rai. Rai, who made her debut in 'Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya' in 1997 went on to become one the biggest stars in the last decade. The beauty made a mark on Indian shores as well as the international arena. The light-eyed actress starred in some memorable roles in films like 'Hum Dil de Chuke Sanam', 'Taal', 'Devdas' and the recent 'Guru'..

text: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ovarian cancer Ovarian cancer Ovarian cancer (human) Classification and external resources Scheme showing the ovaries and other parts of the female reproductive system. ICD-10 ICD-9 ICD-O: DiseasesDB MedlinePlus eMedicine MeSH C56., D27. 183, 220 varied 9418 000889 med/1698 D010051 Ovarian cancer is a cancerous growth arising from an ovary. Although ovarian cancer is known to occur in many species, the majority of the medical literature and the focus of this article is on ovarian cancer in humans. Ovarian cancer is thought to most commonly form in the outer lining of the ovary (resulting in epithelial ovarian cancer)[1] and, less commonly, in the egg cells (resulting in a germ cell tumor). However, recent evidence points towards the Fallopian tube as precursor for ovarian cancers [2] Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of death from cancer in women and the leading cause of death from gynecological cancer. A woman has a lifetime risk of ovarian cancer of around 1.5%, which makes it the second most common gynecologic malignancy (the first being breast cancer).[3] Ovarian cancer has been called "the silent killer" because it frequently causes non-specific symptoms, which contribute to diagnostic delay, resulting in a late stage and a poor prognosis.[4] Most women with ovarian cancer report one or more symptoms such as abdominal pain or discomfort, an abdominal mass, bloating, back pain, urinary urgency, constipation, tiredness and a range of other non-specific symptoms, as well as more specific symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding or involuntary weight loss.[5][6][7] There can be a build-up of fluid in the abdominal cavity (this is called ascites). An abnormal physical examination (including a pelvic examination), a blood test (for CA-125, more specifically) or medical imaging studies can provide evidence leading to an ovarian cancer diagnosis. The diagnosis can be confirmed with a surgical procedure (open or keyhole surgery) to inspect the abdominal cavity, take biopsies (tissue samples for microscopic analysis) and look for cancer cells in the abdominal fluid. Treatment usually involves chemotherapy and surgery, and sometimes radiotherapy.[8] In most cases, the cause of ovarian cancer remains unknown. Older women, and in those who have a first or second degree relative with the disease, have an increased risk. Hereditary forms of ovarian cancer can be caused by mutations in specific genes (most notably BRCA1 and BRCA2, but also in genes for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer). Infertile women and those with a condition called endometriosis, those who have never been pregnant and those who use postmenopausal estrogen replacement therapy are at increased risk. Use of oral contraceptive pills is a protective factor. The risk is also lower in women who have had their uterine tubes blocked surgically (tubal ligation).[9][10] Epidemiology The exact cause is usually unknown. The disease is more common in industrialized nations, with the exception of Japan. In the United States, females have a 1.4% to 2.5% (1 out of 40-60 women) lifetime chance of developing ovarian cancer. Older women are at 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia highest risk. More than half of the deaths from ovarian cancer occur in women between 55 and 74 years of age and approximately one quarter of ovarian cancer deaths occur in women between 35 and 54 years of age. The risk of developing ovarian cancer appears to be affected by several factors. The more children a woman has, the lower her risk of ovarian cancer. Early age at first pregnancy, older age of final pregnancy and the use of low dose hormonal contraception have also been shown to have a protective effect. Ovarian cancer is reduced in women after tubal ligation. The relationship between use of oral contraceptives and ovarian cancer was shown in a summary of results of 45 case-control and prospective studies. Cumulatively these studies show a protective effect for ovarian cancers. Women who used oral contraceptives for 10 years had about a 60% reduction in risk of ovarian cancer. (risk ratio .42 with statistical significant confidence intervals given the large study size, not unexpected). This means that if 250 women took oral contraceptives for 10 years, 1 ovarian cancer would be prevented. This is by far the largest epidemiological study to date on this subject (45 studies, over 20,000 women with ovarian cancer and about 80,000 controls).[11] The link to the use of fertility medication, such as Clomiphene citrate, has been controversial. An analysis in 1991 raised the possibility that use of drugs may increase the risk of ovarian cancer. Several cohort studies and case-control studies have been conducted since then without demonstrating conclusive evidence for such a link. [12] It will remain a complex topic to study as the infertile population differs in parity from the "normal" population. There is good evidence that in some women genetic factors are important. Carriers of certain mutations of the BRCA1 or the BRCA2 gene are notably at risk. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for 5%-13% of ovarian cancers[13] and certain populations (e.g. Ashkenazi Jewish women) are at a higher risk of both breast cancer and ovarian cancer, often at an earlier age than the general population. Patients with a personal history of breast cancer or a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer, especially if diagnosed at a young age, may have an elevated risk. A strong family history of uterine cancer, colon cancer, or other gastrointestinal Ovarian cancer cancers may indicate the presence of a syndrome known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, also known as Lynch II syndrome), which confers a higher risk for developing ovarian cancer. Patients with strong genetic risk for ovarian cancer may consider the use of prophylactic i.e. preventative oophorectomy after completion of childbearing. A Swedish study, which followed more than 61,000 women for 13 years, has found a significant link between milk consumption and ovarian cancer. According to the BBC, "[Researchers] found that milk had the strongest link with ovarian cancer—those women who drank two or more glasses a day were at double the risk of those who did not consume it at all, or only in small amounts." [14] Recent studies have shown that women in sunnier countries have a lower rate of ovarian cancer, which may have some kind of connection with exposure to Vitamin D. Other factors that have been investigated, such as talc use, asbestos exposure, high dietary fat content, and childhood mumps infection, are controversial and have not been definitively proven. "Associations were also found between alcohol consumption and cancers of the ovary and prostate, but only for 50 g and 100 g a day."[15] Classification A benign tumor of the ovary, discovered during a C-section; this is a 4 cm teratoma Ovarian cancer is classified according to the histology of the tumor, obtained in a pathology report. Histology dictates many aspects 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Percent of ovarian cancers in women age 20+ 89.7 26.4 15.9 12.6 9.8 5.8 5.5 4.2 4.0 3.4 1.3 5.5 4.1 1.1 0.3 1.7 1.5 0.8 0.5 0.3 0.6 0.5 0.2 0.2 Histology Ovarian cancer 5 year RSR 54.4 21.0 98.2 18.3 70.9 44.2 21.0 77.7 61.5 49.1 50.7 26.8 87.8 37.3 29.8 91.0 89.1 96.8 85.1 23.0 51.3 67.9 71.7 Germ cell tumor tends to occur in young women and girls.

According to SEER, types of ovarian cancers in women age 20+ are as follows:[16] Ovarian cancer can also be a secondary cancer, the result of metastasis from a primary cancer elsewhere in the body. Common primary cancers are breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer (in which case the ovarian cancer is a Krukenberg cancer). Surface epithelial-stromal tumor can originate in the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity), in which case the ovarian Adenocarcinoma Papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma "Borderline" adenocarcinoma (underestimated b/c short data collection interval) Adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified Endometrioid tumor Serous cystadenocarcinoma Papillary Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma Clear-cell ovarian tumor Mucinous adenocarcinoma Cystadenocarcinoma Carcinoma Carcinoma not otherwise specified Sex cord-gonadal stromal tumour Other carcinomas, specified Mullerian tumor Germ cell tumor Teratoma Dysgerminoma Other, specified Not otherwise specified Epidermoid (Squamous cell carcinoma) Brenner tumor Other, specified of clinical treatment, management, and prognosis. • Surface epithelial-stromal tumour, also known as ovarian epithelial carcinoma, is the most common type of ovarian cancer. It includes serous tumour, endometrioid tumor and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. • Sex cord-stromal tumor, including estrogen-producing granulosa cell tumor and virilizing Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor or arrhenoblastoma, accounts for 8% of ovarian cancers. • Germ cell tumor accounts for approximately 30% of ovarian tumors but only 5% of ovarian cancers, because most germ cell tumors are teratomas and most teratomas are benign (see Teratoma). 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia cancer is secondary to primary peritoneal cancer, but treatment is basically the same as for primary surface epithelial-stromal tumor involving the peritoneum. Ovarian cancer Women with ovarian cancer report that symptoms are persistent and represent a change from normal for their bodies. The frequency and/or number of such symptoms are key factors in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Several studies show that even early stage ovarian cancer can produce these symptoms. Women who have these symptoms almost daily for more than a few weeks should see their doctor, preferably a gynecologist. Prompt medical evaluation may lead to detection at the earliest possible stage of the disease. Early stage diagnosis is associated with an improved prognosis. Several other symptoms have been commonly reported by women with ovarian cancer. These symptoms include fatigue, indigestion, back pain, pain with intercourse, constipation and menstrual irregularities. However, these other symptoms are not as useful in identifying ovarian cancer because they are also found in equal frequency in women in the general population who do not have ovarian cancer. Symptoms Studies on the accuracy of symptoms Two case-control studies, both subject to results being inflated by spectrum bias, have been reported. The first found that women with ovarian cancer had symptoms of increased abdominal size, bloating, urge to pass urine and pelvic pain.[7] The smaller, second study found that women with ovarian cancer had pelvic/abdominal pain, increased abdominal size/bloating, and difficulty eating/ feeling full.[17] The latter study created a symptom index that was considered positive if any of the six (6) symptoms "occurred >12 times per month but were present for <1 year".They reported a sensitivity of 57% for early-stage disease and specificity 87% to 90%. Screening The goal of ovarian cancer screening is to detect ovarian cancer at stage I although it may be better to screen for low-volume.[19] Until 2009 routine screening could not be recommended because of poor specificity resulting in unnecessary surgery for false-positive screening results.[20] In 2009, however, Menon et al. reported from the UKCTOCS that utilizing mutimodal screening, in essence first performing annual CA 125 testing, followed by ultrasound imaging on the secondary level, the positive predictive value was 35.1% for primary invasive epithelial ovarian and tubal carcinoma, making such screening feasible.[21] However, it remains to be seen if such screening is effective to reduce mortality. Ovarian Cancer Symptoms Consensus Statement In 2007, the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation, Society of Gynecologic Oncologists and American Cancer Society originated the following consensus statement regarding the symptoms of ovarian cancer.[18] Ovarian cancer is called a "silent killer" because symptoms were not thought to develop until the disease had advanced and the chance of cure or remission poor. However, the following symptoms are much more likely to occur in women with ovarian cancer than women in the general population. These symptoms include: • Bloating • Pelvic or abdominal pain • Pain in the back or legs • Diarrhea, gas, nausea, constipation, indigestion • Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly • Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency) • Pain during sex • Abnormal vaginal bleeding • Trouble breathing Diagnosis Ovarian cancer at its early stages(I/II) is difficult to diagnose until it spreads and advances to later stages (III/IV). This is due to the fact that most of the common symptoms are nonspecific. When an ovarian malignancy is included in the list of diagnostic possibilities, a limited number of laboratory tests are indicated. A complete blood count (CBC) and serum 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia electrolyte test should be obtained in all patients. The serum BHCG level should be measured in any female in whom pregnancy is a possibility. In addition, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) should be measured in young girls and adolescents with suspected ovarian tumors because the younger the patient, the greater the likelihood of a malignant germ cell tumor. A blood test called CA-125 is useful in differential diagnosis and in follow up of the disease, but it by itself has not been shown to be an effective method to screen for early-stage ovarian cancer due to its unacceptable low sensitivity and specificity. However, this is the only available, widely-used marker currently. Current research is looking at ways to combine tumor markers proteomics along with other indicators of disease (i.e. radiology and/or symptoms) to improve accuracy. The challenge in such an approach is that the very low population prevalence of ovarian cancer means that even testing with very high sensitivity and specificity will still lead to a number of false positive results (i.e. performing surgical procedures in which cancer is not found intra-operatively). However, the contributions of proteomics are still in the early stages and require further refining. Current studies on proteomics mark the beginning of a paradigm shift towards individually tailored therapy. A pelvic examination and imaging including CT scan and trans-vaginal ultrasound are essential. Physical examination may reveal increased abdominal girth and/or ascites (fluid within the abdominal cavity). Pelvic examination may reveal an ovarian or abdominal mass. The pelvic examination can include a rectovaginal component for better palpation of the ovaries. For very young patients, magnetic resonance imaging may be preferred to rectal and vaginal examination. To definitively diagnose ovarian cancer, a surgical procedure to take a look into the abdomen is required. This can be an open procedure (laparotomy, incision through the abdominal wall) or keyhole surgery (laparoscopy). During this procedure, suspicious areas will be removed and sent for microscopic analysis. Fluid from the abdominal cavity can also be analysed for cancerous cells. If there is cancer, this procedure can Ovarian cancer also determine its spread (which is a form of tumor staging). Staging Ovarian cancer staging is by the FIGO staging system and uses information obtained after surgery, which can include a total abdominal hysterectomy, removal of (usually) both ovaries and fallopian tubes, (usually) the omentum, and pelvic (peritoneal) washings for cytology. The AJCC stage is the same as the FIGO stage. • Stage I - limited to one or both ovaries • IA - involves one ovary; capsule intact; no tumor on ovarian surface; no malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings • IB - involves both ovaries; capsule intact; no tumor on ovarian surface; negative washings • IC - tumor limited to ovaries with any of the following: capsule ruptured, tumor on ovarian surface, positive washings • Stage II - pelvic extension or implants • IIA - extension or implants onto uterus or fallopian tube; negative washings • IIB - extension or implants onto other pelvic structures; negative washings • IIC - pelvic extension or implants with positive peritoneal washings • Stage III - microscopic peritoneal implants outside of the pelvis; or limited to the pelvis with extension to the small bowel or omentum • IIIA - microscopic peritoneal metastases beyond pelvis • IIIB - macroscopic peritoneal metastases beyond pelvis less than 2 cm in size • IIIC - peritoneal metastases beyond pelvis > 2 cm or lymph node metastases • Stage IV - distant metastases to the liver or outside the peritoneal cavity Para-aortic lymph node metastases are considered regional lymph nodes (Stage IIIC). Treatment Surgical treatment may be sufficient for malignant tumors that are well-differentiated and confined to the ovary. Addition of chemotherapy may be required for more aggressive tumors that are confined to the ovary. For patients with advanced disease a combination 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia of surgical reduction with a combination chemotherapy regimen is standard. Borderline tumors, even following spread outside of the ovary, are managed well with surgery, and chemotherapy is not seen as useful. Surgery is the preferred treatment and is frequently necessary to obtain a tissue specimen for differential diagnosis via its histology. Surgery performed by a specialist in gynecologic oncology usually results in an improved result. Improved survival is attributed to more accurate staging of the disease and a higher rate of aggressive surgical excision of tumor in the abdomen by gynecologic oncologists as opposed to general gynecologists and general surgeons. The type of surgery depends upon how widespread the cancer is when diagnosed (the cancer stage), as well as the presumed type and grade of cancer. The surgeon may remove one (unilateral oophorectomy) or both ovaries (bilateral oophorectomy), the fallopian tubes (salpingectomy), and the uterus (hysterectomy). For some very early tumors (stage 1, low grade or low-risk disease), only the involved ovary and fallopian tube will be removed (called a "unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy," USO), especially in young females who wish to preserve their fertility. In advanced malignancy, where complete resection is not feasible, as much tumor as possible is removed (debulking surgery). In cases where this type of surgery is successful (i.e. < 1 cm in diameter of tumor is left behind ["optimal debulking"]), the prognosis is improved compared to patients where large tumor masses (> 1 cm in diameter) are left behind. Minimally invasive surgical techniques may facilitate the safe removal of very large (greater than 10 cm) tumors with fewer complications of surgery.[22] Chemotherapy has been a general standard of care for ovarian cancer for decades, although with highly variable protocols.[23] Chemotherapy is used after surgery to treat any residual disease, if appropriate. This depends on the histology of the tumor; some kinds of tumor (particularly teratoma) are not sensitive to chemotherapy. In some cases, there may be reason to perform chemotherapy first, followed by surgery. For patients with stage IIIC epithelial ovarian adenocarcinomas who have undergone successful optimal debulking, a recent clinical trial demonstrated that median Ovarian cancer survival time is significantly longer for patient receiving intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy. [24] Patients in this clinical trial reported less compliance with IP chemotherapy and fewer than half of the patients received all six cycles of IP chemotherapy. Despite this high "drop-out" rate, the group as a whole (including the patients that didn't complete IP chemotherapy treatment) survived longer on average than patients who received intravenous chemotherapy alone. Some specialists believe the toxicities and other complications of IP chemotherapy will be unnecessary with improved IV chemotherapy drugs currently being developed. Although IP chemotherapy has been recommended as a standard of care for the first-line treatment of ovarian cancer, the basis for this recommendation has been challenged.[25] Radiation therapy is not effective for advanced stages because when vital organs are in the radiation field, a high dose cannot be safely delivered. Prognosis Ovarian cancer usually has a poor prognosis. It is disproportionately deadly because it lacks any clear early detection or screening test, meaning that most cases are not diagnosed until they have reached advanced stages. More than 60% of patients presenting with this cancer already have stage III or stage IV cancer, when it has already spread beyond the ovaries. Ovarian cancers shed cells into the naturally occurring fluid within the abdominal cavity. These cells can implant on other abdominal (peritoneal) structures, included the uterus, urinary bladder, bowel and the lining of the bowel wall (omentum). These cells can begin forming new tumor growths before cancer is even suspected. The five-year survival rate for all stages of ovarian cancer is 45.5%. For cases where a diagnosis is made early in the disease, when the cancer is still confined to the primary site, the five-year survival rate is 92.7%. [26] Germ cell tumors of the ovary have a much better prognosis than other ovarian cancers, in part because they tend to grow rapidly to a very large size, hence they are detected sooner. 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ovarian cancer Obstetrics Chapter 241.

A Taste of Tuscany
... pan fried rabbit with olives and roasted potatoes. Dolci was a torte. She paired each course with a different wine from this area. We learned new recipes and techniques that we, (mostly Tom) will be able to make again when we return home.
After our siesta, we walked up the hill from where we are staying into Montalcino. It's a quaint little town with amazing views. Looking forward to exploring more of Tuscany tomorrow.
Italian Birthday Adventures
In the morning, after checking out, we drove a few miles down the road to a winery. We had a great tour and learned all about how they grow the grapes and care for them. Probably more information than I wanted to know, but Tom really enjoyed it. We then tasted several of their wines with some local food. I enjoyed this part the best. :). On the way to Montalcino we made a couple of stops. First we stopped in Cortona and walked around the town. It was a typical ...

Historical Traveler Reviews Meuble il Riccio Montepulciano
A room with a view
My first trip to Italy and the first time I booked all the hotels through tripadvisor. I had very high expectations - and they were all met. Our favourite hotel was the meuble. It is a dream of a place, the friendliest people who made us very welcome and a fantastic setting. Would like to thank Gio' & Ivana who were so lovely. the view took our breath away.
Great value in a beautiful town
My husband and I stayed here in May 2005, in room #4 for 85 euros per night (no breakfast included, but can be purchased separately for 8 euros per person...try Caffe Poliziano instead!). Our room was a good size with a nicely sized, relatively modern bathroom. The view out our window of the Val di Chiana extended for miles and was gorgeous. The room was very dark and quiet for sleeping, though there was some noise in the evening/morning from the other rooms off the hallway - the walls may not be the thickest, but this didn't bother us much.
The main areas of the hotel are lovely - plenty of comfortable sitting areas and a rooftop terrace with great views of town and the valley beyond. Gio and Ivana, the proprieters, are welcoming and helpful in making recommendations and reservations in the area.
The location in Montepulciano is great - at the top of the hill, just steps from the main piazza. A "downtown" parking space is included with the hotel, but I'd recommend parking on the perimeter road near the top of the hill and walking to Il Riccio for your first time in to get better directions - it can be tricky navigating through the narrow, twisty and steep limited traffic zones without them!
This hotel, and Montepulciano itself, made an excelllent homebase for exploring Southern Tuscany. We wouldn't hesitate to return due to the hotel's location, charm, cleanliness, and great value.
Wonderful Hotel
My husband and I just returned from Italy. We traveled with our children, ages: 10, 12, 14 and 19. The Meuble il Riccio and Montepulciano were the highlight of our trip. The owners and staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. The view from the rooftop terrace is absolutely incredible.
Meuble Il Riccio, A Real Special Find in Montepulciano
My husband and I stayed in the wonderful, non touristy town of Montepulciano in central Tuscany. We chose the Meuble Il Riccio hotel and had a fantastic experience. It is owned and operated by Gio and Ivana, two of the most wonderful people that we met in our month long trip through Italy. The building has been in their family for many generations, and their pride in it is very visible. From the moment you enter the incredibly beautiful courtyard, you fall in love with this place! The reception is a grand ballroom size room with beautiful decor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Our immaculately clean room was spacious with a large, modern bathroom, and was decorated beautifully. Gio and Ivana treated us like family from the minute we entered and were constantly available to make suggestions for places to see and restaurants, and Gio made a number of reservations for us. When we returned from a long day of touring, we would go to the rooftop terrace with its beautiful view of the Tuscan countryside and have our wine and cheese purchased locally since Montepulciano is known for its wonderful wines. I cannot say enough about the quality of our experience in this hotel. It was truly our very favorite hotel (and town) in our entire trip.
A magical place
I'm glad to read that the Meuble Il Riccio is still going strong. My wife and I stumbled on it 10 years ago when we decided to hop off the train in Montepulciano.
As described in the earlier review, it is above a mosaic school. When the staff brought us to our room and opened the window, we were floored. We felt like we were looking out on all of Italy.
Montepulciano also served as an excellent base from which to visit neighboring sights, and had very good wine and good local cuisine.
This is a fantastic place
This is one of those rare finds. The best view I had from any point on my trip to Italy was from the window of my hotel room of this hotel. The owners are exceptionally friendly and extremely helpful. The rooms are clean and unique. The main room has unique art and mosaics because the owners father use to run a mosaic school here. Great location also. Parking is included with the room which you don't know how special that is until you drive around a Tuscan hill town looking for parking that you don't have to walk three miles with your luggage. Book well in advance.
Wonderful hotel
Just stayed there: Wonderful hotel, friendly owner, amazing view from our bedroom window. Only downside is that bags must be taken up several staircases to get to the room. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Lovely hotel, unbelievable views
This tiny hotel (8 rooms) is just off the Piazza Grande at the top of Montepulciano and has a roof top view that extends 30 miles. The rooms have all modern conveniences, and there is a lovely lounge as well. The owners, Ivana and Giorgio, are very pleasant. We drove in, were able to park nearby (permit provided by hotel) and had a delightful 5 days there.
A nice place to stay
Il Riccio proved to be a wonderful place to stay in Montepulciano - clean well-cared for rooms, very reasonably priced, and with an excellent view of the village and surrounding hills of Tuscany. The family owners have clearly put attention into the details of the historic building built on top of an early church (the entryway is magical)... This was a perfect base for our tours.
This Is A Special Place
During our trip to Tuscany we could only spent one night here but I wish it was longer, as our stay in Meuble Il Riccio was wonderful. You can sense the history as soon as you enter the courtyard and you can see the pride in the owners, the very friendly Caroti family, if you are appreciative of what is also their home. The rooms were reasonably priced, very clean and if you are lucky to get one facing east away from the centre of the town, the views are stunning. As is the view from their little roof terrace, which must be one of the best vantage points in the town. A farewell glass of Vin Noble here under the stars was a memorable experience.

Abuse victims can avoid benefits cap (From Swindon Advertiser)

Abuse victims can avoid benefits cap
5:00am Tuesday 15th April 2014 in News
SWINDON Women's Aid has welcomed a change in the law meaning the refuge will now be exempt from the benefits cap.
The recently introduced cap has limited the amount of benefits people can receive to reduce the overall welfare benefit. However, it had the unintended consequence of hitting victims of domestic refuge who had been forced to flee their homes.
The law has now been changed so refuges are not covered by the cap.
Olwen Kelly, the director of Swindon Women's Aid, said it was good the government had brought in the change that could in the end save lives.
She said: "When a victim of domestic violence is making the decision on whether they are leaving home, whether they can afford it should not be a consideration they need to take into account.
"Many victims will have to pay rent for their home and then the refuge. "The cap on the benefit meant it would not cover both which means the victims are left deciding whether they need to get rid of their flat.
"A lot of the time victims arrive at our door in the middle of the night, in the back of police cars, with children. In those circumstances it is not right that finances should be considered.
"At the end of the day, if they are forced to stay in an abusive relationship then their life could very well be in danger. If this happens then a full review will cost far more than anything which could be saved by the cap."
Olwen has also praised Swindon Council for their approach in helping with the financial issues. Under legislation over council tax, all the apartments in the refuge would each have been liable to council tax, leaving the refuge with a potentially crippling bill of £22,000 per year.
With cross party support, the council took the refuge out of council tax and made moves to make them exempt from the benefit cap.
"There is no chance we could have found the money to pay for council tax on all the properties," said Olwen.
"I am delighted with the unanimous support the council have given in being the first authority in the country to do this. I think the actions of all the parties in the council have meant that other authorities around the country have been able to look at themselves and start to take appropriate action."

Jumper, French Connection | Jeans, Zara | Heels, Clarks c/o Sarenza | Satchel, Zatchels | Jewelled collar, Zara | Ring, Primark | Lipstick, Topshop's Rio Rio
Let me make a bold statement. These heels are So. Comfortable. From my work with Sarenza I've collected a few pairs of Clarks shoes and every single one is a dream for my toes. These leopard print beauties have a mid-heel and a soft, cushioned insole - walking is a breeze, they don't pinch or rub and I'm pretty sure I could even run an Olympic 100m in them. It's true love.
Other things to note - I bought this cute striped jumper in the French Connection sale and the jeans are also a sale buy, from Zara. I've found some real gems in the end of the sales including three Zara dresses reduced from £40 to £12.99 - well worth checking out! Oh, and the collar? I KNOW.
What are you wearing today?

On Wednesday, the Ohio House of Representatives passed two draconian bills to further their anti-voter agenda in our state.
Their desire to make voting much harder (in order to make elections easier for them to win) is so obvious that three major Ohio newspapers called on them to stop pushing through these anti-voter laws.
One bill, Senate Bill 238, will reduce the number of days available for you and others to vote. In today's busy world, we should be increasing, not cutting, the number of voting days so we need to come together and stop this assault on our voting rights now.
Click here to send Gov. Kasich a letter urging him to VETO SB205 and SB238.
The other bill, Senate Bill 205, will also severely limit our chance to vote using by forcing counties to stop sending registered voters applications for absentee ballots.
This bill prevents local election officials from helping a voter complete any part of an absentee ballot application, ID envelopes, or absentee ballot. If a mistake happens, the election official cannot help, but instead will be required to toss out a valid vote on a technicality.
These bills are rapidly on their way to Gov. Kasich's desk right now, where he has the option to either sign or veto them.
Click here to send Gov. Kasich a letter urging him to VETO SB205 and SB238.
Access to the ballot box and the opportunity for working people to easily register and exercise their right to vote, should remain a staple of our democracy.
It's crucial that Gov. Kasich vetoes these bills in order to keep Ohio's elections fair and open.
Stronger Together,
Dennis Willard

My name is Jeremy Smith (33), originally from Charleston, WV (state capitol), but now living right outside of Huntington WV (home of the Marshall Thundering Herd). I'm a rabid WVU fan as well. I have a very sweet and beautiful wife, Brandy... a gorgeous and super smart daughter, Kaitlin... and a brute for a baby boy (no joke, he's a hulk), Nicholas. UPDATE.... On Aug. 8th, we just gave birth to our newest addition, and second son, Benjamin Patrick!!! I am an extremely proud dad! My job now.... to make sure all my kids love the Denver Broncos as I do!
One of my biggest hobbies is paranormal research (ghost hunting). My experiences / findings have been outstanding, numerous, and enough to make some staunch disbelievers reconsider the world as they think they know it. Other interests and passions include zoology, movies, TV (I've been loving the Walking Dead.. can't wait for Game of Thrones... Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, Breaking Bad and Boardwalk Empire are other favorites of mine), computers/electronics, nature, art, I'm a fanatical lover of music , and I love ancient history as well.
I'm not sure if you have seen Greg Cosell's article (which can be found here) on how Seattle was able to dominate us so thoroughly, but it was very insightful.
This year has been one of the most memorable years in Denver Bronco history. The Sheriff is in town! The offense is on pace to shatter records, we've only (barely) lost one game, and it seems as...
Chris Harris is ready to step up and fill the void of Champ. Somehow, I believe him.
Man, I really hate Andrew Luck's goofy looking face and Bert and Ernie voice right now.... you ever heard him talk? He sounds like a freakin' Muppet or something. He's a darn good QB, though. ...
Hopefully this is BS: Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is expected to emerge as a candidate to replace Kiffin, NFL sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Multiple team sources told ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold on Sunday morning that Del Rio will stay through whatever becomes of the Broncos' season, no matter if he interviews, or even accepts, a new job for the 2014 season. Del Rio is in his second season as the Broncos' defensive coordinator, which has made him a rare coach in that position for the team. Upon his arrival to John Fox's staff in 2012, Del Rio became the seventh defensive coordinator in seven seasons.
Questions. That's all this game left us with.... questions. Well, that, and a horrible taste in our mouths. I've been going back and forth with people on the internet all day about it, and...
Chaos!In May, if you would have asked any one of us here what the upcoming season would bring, the answer would have been a resounding "we're Super Bowl contenders." We were relatively healthy. ...
There's been some spirited debate over at the Bronco Planet Facebook group about John Fox. Will he lead us to the promised land? Is he what we truly need to make that next jump? Was he just the...
Von, we love you bro, but what the hell is wrong with you? It all started with a fax machine blunder. Wishy washy and flip flopping like a teenager, Elvis Dumervil finally made up his mind that...
Jeffri Chadiha writes that even if we do end up losing Miller for four games, it's not going to be the end of the world. In fact, he predicts us to win every single one of those games. Ravens - It's at home... the Ravens are nowhere near as talented as they were last year (they lost Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, for god's sake)... we're still a talented team without Von... we have Peyton "Freaking" Manning! Giants - A road game, BUT, Peyton will not, under any circumstance, drop a game vs. his little bro. Period. Oh... and we have Peyton Manning. Eagles - It's the Eagles... it's at home. For those of you who think Chip Kelly is going to turn that ship around, year one, try again. That team is fundamentally flawed... they don't have a QB to compete against Manning. I personally think Kelly will be a flop in the NFL. We have Peyton Manning and a nasty receiving core. Raiders - It's the Raiders... it's at Mile High. We have Peyton Manning.
It looks like Wesley Woodyard and his agent are pushing for a new deal to be done before the season starts. If it's reasonable, I say we should do it. We definitely have some cap space... plus, we won't have as much dead money next year, which will help us to sign a couple more guys as well. The kid is 26 years old... he's coming off a stellar season which saw him rack up 117 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 3 picks. He's great in our WILL role, he's a leader on the field, respected in the locker room, great in the community. To me, Wood is a Denver Bronco through and through.
The Broncos have agreed to terms with OG Louis Vasquez, 4 years, $23.5 million with $13 million fully guaranteed.— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 12, 2013
We just gave him a 4 year deal, worth $23.5 million ($13 guaranteed). Not only is this a great signing for our club (and upgrade from Kuper/Ramirez), it also weakens a division rival. Vasquez is one of the best Guards in football, and easily the best lineman on the Chargers entire team! How bout dem apples Phyllis and Mike McCoy, you traitor!
I'm going to miss Keith Burns (Mr. Denver Bronco), but it shouldn't make too much of a difference. Now, if we can just get Matt Prater back to his 2011 form!
A list of free agents who Bleacher Report feels we'd be wise to avoid.
Greg Knapp, who was the Raiders OC last year, has now been hired to replace Adam Gase as our QB coach. Knapp is a 19 year NFL coaching vet, who's polished some great QB's on to great have great seasons. Steve Young, Mike Vick, Matt Schaub, Jeff Garcia, and even Carson Palmer came on some towards the end of last year. I love this hire... you can't go wrong by adding an experienced offensive coordinator as your new Quarterback coach. GO BRONCOS --- MILE HIGH SALUTE!
I like this move, Adam Gase has had success everywhere he's been and he's a Bronco through and through! GO BRONCOS!
I'm speechless! I don't know where to begin... I don't know how the Broncos (and the replacement refs) gave the Ravens so many freebies... I... just... don't... know! I want to be so mad right...
Look... I'm not knocking any team that played today, all were good to great teams (obviously)...but I didn't see one team today that truly scares me, nor should they scare the Broncos... not one of...
Ok guys, I know this is sort of silly... but what is the deal with the little white dots on John Fox and Jack DelRio's jackets? If you look closely, you can see 4 white dots on Foxy's left shoulder (right to the viewer), and only one dot on JDR's. They both happen to be wearing the same jacket as well (I'd love to purchase one, I think they look really sweet). Anyways, I know this is trivial, but just couldn't help but wondering. It's either there on purpose, or both guys had some giant dandruff, IDK.... lol.
They're being silent on who the player is... but apparently there's another shooting, off site, that is directly linked to this suicide. The player killed a woman (a girlfriend?), then turned the gun on himself this morning at the Chiefs practice facility. My prayers go out to all affected.
I'm not saying we should definitely do this... but it seems like Matt Willis can't get the offense down. Every time he's been targeted thus far, it's resulted in Manning shaking his head. Would Gaff give us an upgrade at #4, and better insurance should one of our top 3 WR's go down (God forbid)?
IDK about him guys. He's a supremely talented guy, but at times, he still sounds like he's not humbled. I know these reporters can be annoying as hell, but c'mon D.J., you did this to yourself, no need to get aggravated.
The Patriots weren't just running any hurry up offense... they stole a page from the Oregon Duck's book and were running one word plays! Bill B and co. are so good at stealing these little nuggets of goodness from the college ranks.
Hey MHR.... I'm not trying to be a Jay Cutler crybaby or anything, but where are all the posts at? I know everything is kind of mixed up right now... SB Nation has gone through some radical changes... but where is everyone? The No Bull Review.... Studs and Duds? Just getting a little worried here, cause this place is a big part of my life.
My head would explode if you asked me to narrow this list down to the finalists. So many epic names... epic players. The list of first year eligible players alone is insanely good. Michael Strahan... Tom Nalen... Steve McNair... Warren Sapp... Priest Holmes... Larry Allen... Jonathan Ogden... John Lynch... Keenan McCardell... Sam Adams... Ted Washington... Bryant Young... Morten Anderson. One of the best first year classes I've ever seen.
I was afraid this would happen. I was afraid that the bright, shiny new toy called "the freaking," would elevate expectations so high, we would end up being brought back down to earth a bit. ...
HAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm sorry, I had to! Remember these same type scenarios happening with Jay and Rivers... the jawing and Jay getting pee pants nervous? Charles Woodson made my night.
I'll reiterate this again... we were playing the Steelers folks. What does Big Ben and that offense do? They stay alive on 3rd down by Big Ben evading the rush and improvising, and those speedy WR's can get down the field in a hurry. They do it to everyone! What really pleased me (and Williamson apparently) was our run D giving up a total of 75 rush yards. Redman had more than that by himself in our last game against them. The sky isn't falling... Del Rio isn't some bland play caller.... our pass rush is still one of the sickest in football.... we luckily don't have to play Big Ben every week.
Even though the final score didn't look like much, I think there were a lot of positives to take away from this game. There were plenty of negatives as well, but we now have a clearer picture of...
Whaa.... boo hoo hoo. Focus on football young man! Stuff like this makes me not miss you one bit.

Good afternoon HDWEB'ers, it's March 6th and Ervin Santana still doesn't have a job. Here's everything you need to know.
If you have ideas or suggestions, send 'em my way at @justinbopp.
Baseball heartbreak is worse than any other:
Who hurt you, Junior? What's wrong? I watch this video and my mind races. Was there something I missed? Where's that smile? Are you on something? Did somebody just tell you a racist joke before the cameras came on? Did you just realize you could've jacked up on 'roids and PEDs and had the best MLB career of all time? Or is it something more sinister? Is Upper Deck holding you hostage? Are you ok?
What happened to you?
I am so filled with sadness after watching this video. Those stilted, one-word answers. That oblivious, you're-wasting-my-time look he can't remotely hide. It's like that time I heard that George Brett was actually a big huge jerk to everyone in Kansas City. Or that time I heard Michael Jordan was an insufferable asshole and/or a bully to basically everyone (The Chamillionaire/Jordan story in particular). In both cases, and in this one, I'm left slightly more hollow than I was the day before.
I'd still let each of them be a jerk to me, though.
Anyway, you're not here for sads, you're here for happy. Let's fix this pronto:
Ahhhh, that's better.

Examining where players without guaranteed spots on the Yankees' Opening Day roster stand in their quest to make the team after one week of Spring Training:
Pretty much anyone with two arms and a glove with knowledge of playing the infield is an option to make the team at this point. The favorites might be Dean Anna, due to his 40-man roster spot, or Yangervis Solarte, who has been impressing with his bat so far this spring.
Eduardo Nunez might be the favorite because he's been there before, but there could be enough bench spots to share if some of the other options can put up impressive numbers over the next few weeks.

"Twilight" actor Bronson Pelletier -- who played a member of the Wolf Pack in the saga -- has been charged with public intoxication stemming from his alleged airport pee incident last week ... TMZ has learned.
A rep for the L.A. City Attorney's office tells us, Pelletier was charged with one count of being drunk in public, a misdemeanor, after he allegedly urinated in the middle of an LAX terminal while waiting for a flight last Monday.
If convicted, Pelletier faces a maximum of 6 months in jail. He's due back in court for his arraignment on January 7th.
Pelletier has DENIED the public urination part of this case ... but that's still in question, based on this video of the arrest.
Coincidentally, Pelletier's due in court again on January 17th to answer to meth and cocaine possession charges, stemming from his OTHER arrest this month.
Busy guy.
at least he didnt smoke a cigarette, huh?
Maybe its his DNA's fault...
(((( "Celebrities" American ... Born to do scandals. Could at least play that are educated and decent.)))) - "Celebridades" americanas... Nasceram para fazer escândalos. Poderia ao menos interpretar que são educadas e descentes. Brazil.
Has he been scratching invisible wolf fleas?
Why is this still news? Didn't it happen like 2 weeks ago? Nobody actor doing a non-newsworthy thing...let's move on.
public intoxication because he urinated in an airport. I guess you've really got to go when you've had that much to drink! In Virginia, public intoxication and profane swearing are class 4 misdemeanors punishable up to a $250 fine. This penalty is significantly more lenient than California's penalty of up to 6 months in jail (according to the article).
